@@stefanalexanderlungu1503 The question is, *which* of the 2,000 episodes was this tweet on? What was the *date*? Obviously I know roughly from the movie being released, but I am trying to document key episodes on Wikipedia.
What makes it so funny isn't just that it's a silly gag but that the comedic timing and mannerisms are actually really good. Whoever is inside there has some physical comedy chops.
Idk what I love more. The whole idea and premise being so stupid and silly and how they know that and embrace it to the point where it became one of this shows greatest characters. Either that, or the huge smile and pure happiness that Craig shows whenever Secretariat runs out. Him dancing always puts a smile on my face. He must've really loved these moments.
There is literally no reason in the world why 2 guys dressed up in a bad horse costume should continually amuse me, year after year. PS: I had tears in my eyes when Secretariat knocked over the Ming vases.
Dave's response as Secretariat left his show was priceless. You can tell he was thinking "So that's what they're spending all my money on over there". What a legend.
I have loved the entire series, from the very first Secretariat appearance on the show and would love for it to continue forever. Being a great fan of the original beloved Secretariat, I loved that Craig keeps bringing out his Secretariat for visits, and to this day every time that doorbell rings I spring to my feet to dance. I even set the music for my cell phone ringtone. Secretariat rules. Dance, horsey, Dance!
If ever I feel down I watch this and it makes me laugh my ass off. God bless you Craig Ferguson and Secretariat! It's a sin Craig wasn't given Letterman's slot (oooh matron). Such a funny, warm, natural host. We miss you Craig. :-(
+Cloud Cuckoo Yeah, but he didn't want Letterman's slot. Like, at all. He quit of his own accord...CBS didn't push him out. I miss him too (and his new show Join or Die is not a good show by comparison). Even if he got tired of interviewing celebrities and doing Late Night schtick, he was good at it. But with Corden's ratings and critical praise, I don't think CBS is missing Craig at all. We're the only ones who are.
Craig wanted the slot he was in. He didn't want anything to do with the polished, overly cleaned, boring, scripted, fake and unfunny classic late night programming. You can see an evolution from when he started to when he ended in how he pushed the few boundaries that were still left on his timeslot. He reveled in the little freedom he had and did his best to expand that beyond what usual US Television programming allows.
As I understand it Craig was contracted as the replacement for Letterman, however, the network changed their mind at the last minute. Craig was paid out $12,000,000.00ish for breach of contract and was happy to stay on past his contracted period to allow CBS time to organise his replacement.
Totally Fab!!! I hadn't followed any TV until I discovered LLS about 2.5 years ago. I have not missed an episode (including reruns) since!I'm happy for Craig's career evolution, but so very sad that this truly unique thing is going to end!
Thanks for all the comments everyone, glad you enjoyed watching it as much as I did making it. If you're wondering, Allie and I are still friends and she was actually married at the time this aired, so that's why it was so awkward, but we'll see what happens down the road ; )
She was married and you still considered yourself in a relationship with her, and said so on television? Dude... just consider yourself lucky that her husband didn't break your eye socket for that.
My logic mind tells me that two guys in a horse costume is not funny and is just silly, it just shouldn't work! But having only just discovered Secretariat, its the funniest damn thing i have ever seen!
Visually, Secretariat is awfully made, and has THE MOST insane looking dances, but it proves if you put heart into the character, it can wind up being an icon.
this brought back memories of watching Secretariat at the Belmont stakes winning by 31 lengths. The most amazing horse race in history. Neck and neck with Sham on the backstretch. Then just takes off and the rest of the horses just fade away. 31 lengths; 2:24 flat. Record still stands 45 years later.
The sheer exuberance of that bit of silly happiness can't help but lift the heart. Thank you, Secretariat. The song came from a Barbie Fashion Show game, "Single Dream", aka "It's Brilliant". ruclips.net/video/XV9KpZwUT04/видео.html I'm surprised Craig never sang the full song (or had someone else sing it). Makes a great Buddy Song. Just a man and his horse.

I feel sorry for celebrities that came on and didn't know the show. When Secretariat came out and Craig started weird dancing, they must have thought they had lost their mind.
Musical Cynic Y'know, I was gonna rip you a new one for all this bullshit, BUT, it's a SECRETARIAT video and doesn't deserve to have all this culture wars junk plastered all over the comments section, so I will just say take your stuff somewhere else and discuss it on some other more topical video, kthx.
Thank you so much. She looked like a feisty girl from this clip but oh boy was she indeed feisty on the full interview. And she is 44... WTF?!?! She is unbeliveable awesome.
The two interns that are inside Secretariat ("WHAT DID YOU SAY! TELL ME IT'S NOT SO!") are two unpaid interns apparently. xD They are the real stars here, forever unknown by most.
They may be unknown by most (they don't even have photos on IMDb), but they were credited: Ryan McGowan and Joseph Bolter. IIRC, McGowan was the front end (which, yes, made Bolter a horse's @$$).
I agree. That 23:35 was well spent. I sat here in bed and flailed my arms every single time Secretariat came prancing out. And wow! That Sid is one mad March hare on the dance floor! Congrats you guys! That must have been a blast!
Secretariat has spoiled me. Every time my doorbell rings now, I shout "WHO'S THAT AT THE DOOR?!?!?!" ...I'm disappointed every time... :(

I hope your friends/family see this and set it up so that one day you answer a doorbell and there are people in a horse costume dancing :)
Secretariat is the most brilliant dumb idea in the history of late night television.
Be nice if Secretariat make guest sometime again
We aaaaall learned something tonight ;)
So very right.
... and only Craig could pull it off.
Craig had a very demanding timeslot!
Imagine being the person who singlehandedly spawned such an iconic aspect of the show, just through a tweet.
Is that how it came about? Do you know what show it was on?

Various people actually
Well it got significantly better as the time went along lol
Only Craig Ferguson could do a cold open with a rabbit puppet and a... Secretariat and absolutely kill it. That takes talent.
It takes talent …. And a vortex of Scottish charm 🏴 🤔🧐🥃
two guys in a horse outfit is the oldest comedic shtick in the book ... still manages to crack me up
"That's especially for all the people who want me to get rid of the horse."
I love Craig's personality XD
haha i love how clumsy the guys were in the costume at the first appearance..now, they're jumping up and down and running like crazy:D
The original Secretariat was terrible, slow and clumsy.
It's amazing how good the guys got after a while...
I will never stop hoping that one day, when my doorbell rings, it'll be Secretariat at the door.
I have the Secretariat music as my ringtone.

As do I.

it was a good 10 years. i miss him too.
When ever I would be awake late enough to watch I’d get so excited if Secretariat came out and disappointed if he didn’t

Yep, despite his shortcoming's Craig had the best late night talk show ever.
Why did I not watch this show when he was on !!!!! Hilarious!! I'm kicking my balls yo !!!
same but i do love james
Because he was on at 1:30 AM and you have a life
Craig Ferguson takes the rejected ideas from other late-night shows and then makes them awesome.
This show is absolute nonsense... And I love it !!
Hugh Laurie once said that this show was “like stepping into someone else’s dream” and I think he’s quite right XD it’s pure madness
It’s like if ADHD was alive and became a late night talk show.
We need Craig Ferguson back in these strange times
It’s amazing he had the dance right at the beginning. Just turned it up a notch when it became a bit.
I like the secretariat music
Person In Halifax Adore it- Sounds like a crazy Sonic the Hedgehog level! 💖💖💖
whoever made all of craig's graphic is such a genius. i mean, it's soo fcking rediculous lol

I love this show.
Best 23 minutes and 35 seconds of my life. DING DONG!
Omg this had me dying if your in a mad mood this will cheer you up!
I'm crying, lmao, that was the funniest shit I've seen in a long fucking time -

poor Bridger! Craig puts that kid through a lot hah
Heh-heh leave it to the ol' hags on the View to stare at Secretariat with looks of "WTF?" No surprise from David Letterman though.
That horse is an inspiration.
That theme music and dance brings me far too much joy.
