Craig Ferguson Teases Michael Clarke Duncan About 'Bones' Spin-Off (VIDEO)

On tonight's episode of 'Bones,' Michael Clarke Duncan will guest-star as Leo Knox, a legal adviser/bodyguard described as a "cowboy philosopher." If all goes according to plan, the appearance will jump-start a spin-off Fox series based on 'The Locator' books by Richard Greener.

When Duncan visited 'The Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), Craig Ferguson couldn't get past the idea of the character reciting poetry. "If you can solve crimes using poetry," he joked, "'Oh, this looks like it was done by a man from Nantucket!'"


Duncan pretended to be insulted and put the host on a guilt trip. "I'm trying to promote my show ... and here you are ridiculing my show! I came on this [program] in good faith."

"You're shaming me. Now I feel bad," said Ferguson, burying his face in his hands. They started the interview over, but again, the host just couldn't help himself.
