Katie Barker, show publicist, said the lights started to dim and darkened completely at approximately 5:40 p.m. Both Ferguson and Silverstone were unsure what happened. Show producers gave Ferguson a flashlight and decided to continue taping the live show.
The Scottish-born Ferguson, 47, has hosted 'The Late Late Show' since January 2005 and earned an Emmy Award nomination in 2006. Previously, he was best-known for playing Nigel Wick on 'The Drew Carey Show.'
Silverstone, 33, broke out in a music video for Aerosmith and came to fame after roles in 'Clueless' and 'Batman & Robin.'
