It wasn’t just another late-night chat. When actress Bojana Novakovic sat across from Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show, viewers didn’t just hear the jokes — they saw something else entirely.

Ferguson, notorious for his unscripted charm and mischievous humor, quickly found himself in a playful verbal dance with Novakovic. But while his words were sharp, it was his eyes that told the real story.

At one point, the Scottish host tried to steer the conversation toward her name — teasingly mispronouncing “Bojana” as “Buana.” The audience laughed, Novakovic rolled her eyes with grace, but Ferguson’s gaze lingered just a little too long. Sharp-eyed fans online later dubbed it the “dirty eyes moment.”

Novakovic, never one to be caught off guard, leaned right back into the banter. She teased him about his mischievous streak, effortlessly flipping the power dynamic. It was the kind of late-night chemistry that can’t be scripted: the host losing his usual upper hand, and the guest taking control with wit.

Clips of the exchange have since resurfaced online, sparking fresh debate. Was Ferguson just being cheeky? Or did his eyes reveal a little more than he intended? Fans remain divided, but one thing’s certain: Novakovic didn’t miss a beat.

In a television landscape where so many interviews feel polished and predictable, this moment stands out years later — proof that sometimes the most unforgettable late-night TV magic happens not in the script, but in a glance.
