  • A few bits of Craig Ferguson being quick-witted & also, more bits of just great moments. Some of my favorites.
    Another nominee for the title of this video is "A Few Gems W/ Craig Ferguson". Because it's difficult to bring all the content in the video down to the word 'quickwitt', BUT, the foundation of this video is made of quickwitt. Enjoy!

    1. Enigmatic basically means Mysterious
    2. The names are there so people don't ask everyday.
    3. The recent waves of SJW warrant the following disclaimer: The videos above are completely taken out of context because of the nature of the compilation, these puns/jokes/comments are not nearly as blatant as they may seem to the super sensitive individual. With all that out the of way, hope you enjoy!

      Great work JLF! I think my favorite quick witted CF is in Laurie Holden’s interview. She tells him he hasn’t lost his accent because “the Rs are the same.” Without missing a beat, CF says “yep my Arse is exactly the same as it’s always been.” Just sooo fast and sooo funny. It’s a real talent. Edit- oh and when he translates Adrianne Palicki’s hieroglyphs... and the “Annette” bit with Stephen Wright... geez, so many...

    I've never seen keanu reeves on any talk show. Didn't know he was on Craig's show, but that makes sense because Craig is great with people and Kenau being so private.

    I love how he makes the ladies laugh, and they don't just make a polite laugh. It's real and their eyes light up and you can tell they are having so. much. fun. I wanna be able to do that.

    Lately I've been watching a lot of these Craig compilations. They are so great and funny.
    I tended to become spoiled by his talent and maybe took it for granted at how talented Craig is, but that last bit with Jeff reconfirmed to me, his vast talent and knowledge of so many things.
    Can you tell i have a lot of respect for him. 😆

    I suffer from bouts of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I always know I've hit rock bottom when I keep coming back to Craig Ferguson. At my worst, he is the only person who can still make me laugh. And since he too has been a depressed alcoholic once, my dependency on his work is even stronger.
