"I grew up outside of this country, and I watched this country when I was a kid, growing up ... America was the beacon of everything that was good. Everything that was right, everything that was aspirational to me was in America -- it's the reason that I ended up here. And I've thought that the whole time I've been here -- I've been here fourteen years -- and for a long time, I've had a hard time trying to sell that to some Americans. But I think that changed last night. I'm very proud to be an American today; I'm proud of this nation for what we did." -- Craig Ferguson, regarding the election of Barack Obama, on the CBS television program, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, episode aired in the wee hours of 2008-11-06 (recorded 2008-11-05)

[I'm interpreting his statement as meaning he feels extra-proud to be an American, given that he has already come across as quite proud of being an American every time the topic has come up since he got his citizenship.]
