Watching this video where he looks high and insecure and knowing it was a few months to his attempted suicide and watching him now being an alpha on his show, is proof to everyone give it time. Craig sure was a late bloomer but he definitely aged like fine wine based on his successes.
God I hate to read about the state he was in. If I could go back in time I'd have got him to rehab real fast. He's given me hours and hours of happiness.
Priceless..Craig Ferguson is the Scotland treasure..Best of all the talkshow hosts since Abraham Lincoln. My wife just said Ross/Kyle were so handsome.
Wow, Craig Ferguson is virtually unknown in Britain, pity because he is such a talent. Glad to see he made it so big in America. Kyle MacLachlan seems to have faded out however. You can see the English audience really liked Kyle back then.
Television archive: Tonight with Jonathan Ross (1991): Craig Ferguson Kyle Maclachlan 055AM 16.3.22 it certainly doesnt feel like a bank holiday... for consumer conscious safety - i suggest olde jonathan ross get back to ch4.
I like how Jonathan jokes with the audience that it does not feel like a bank holiday, meaning that this edition was pre-recorded before the bank holiday using the same audience from the previous show. This was something Craig would do often on his Late Late Show, double tape episodes to air later, and he would openly joke how it was pre-taped ages before. Maybe he got the idea from Jonathan, who used to host a near nightly show on Channel 4 - Jonathan Ross Tonight.
John King that's what I was thinking, when the video started I was like, "wow that sounds like the way Craig starts his monologues, talking directly to the audience."
According to Craig's book "American on Purpose," he drank heavily and did cocaine during this time (most of his teens and 20s, really). After hitting rock bottom at Christmas 1991, he almost committed suicide. As a result, he went on a last bender until February 18th, 1992, and then checked himself into rehab. His last drink was a glass of warm white wine poured by his younger sister, Lynn.
Does anyone know the air date of the episode where Chris Tarrant appears on the show?. I have a part recording of this ep shortly before it ends but I've no idea what date it is, though the voice-over at the end says it's a repeat broadcast. I'm guessing it was sometime in 1991, and after the ep Channel 4 shows the Hammer Horror film The Abominable Snowman. IMDB comes up with some episodes but not every episode is listed, which is typical of IMDB as it's often lacking in information on certain less well know films and TV shows. None of the listed eps on IMDB mention Chris Tarrant.
If you watched this interview you'd know that he's talking about a TV movie (actually a pilot for a series) he shot for CBS. It was actually even earlier than 1991: www.imdb.com/title/tt2933136/
He looks there like a smart and sensitive person, who could not stand the hard world and found himself an exit in drugs … it’s very sad to see him like this but man, did he turn things around.
With Jonathan talking about the bank holiday I think this episode was broadcast on Monday 1st April 1991 as it was the Easter Bank Holiday and according to IMDB the show aired on this night. www.imdb.com/title/tt0098930/episodes?year=1991&ref_=tt_eps_yr_1991 I presume it was recorded the week before transmission. Craig on the Late Late Show would always have the habit of making the viewers now when a show was pre-recorded over holidays as both Jonathan and Craig are doing on the show here.
Larry king today, unfortunately one day hopefully not for many of years it will be Craig’s day to go and people will come here to remember such a talent.
it is interesting to see Ross having a similar game with the 'we're live and the studio audience will not be on in any other show ... never'. Awesome to see this 23 years later
Actually I typed in Kyle interviewed on late late show with Craig Ferguson. It would of been best interview ever, because he's the best "Late night Deuce". To bad it never happened though.😢
No wonder Craig drank - Jonathan Ross wasn't great yet, either, and couldn't stop giving him sh!t. Apart from an antagonistic host, there was the floppy hair and those near-zoot suits we all wore 35 years ago. Craig Ferguson: true victim of the 80s
I would buy the dvd to make them happy, but since I couldn't see the clip I don't know if it was shit or not. And I don't want to take the chance that it might be shit. If I could have seen the clip and it looked cool or interesting to me maybe I would think about buying it. Oh well. I guess it's their loss AHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Awww, it's interesting to see our Craigy back then. He looks so sweet. We know his past and future. He did alright afterall! Love you Craig!
Who would have thought that this man would create the most hilarious late night show
thank you so much for sharing this!! it's really hard to find Craig's old stuff :)..
Everyone that is going: "oh the jokes were good" and all that shit:
Look at Craig's hair. LOOK AT THE HAIR!

He's got the same kind of eye-averting mumblyness that Bowie had during the height of his coke days.

Ah, the end of the alcoholic years
According to his Wiki, this interview was before he got sober. He actually was planning on committing suicide on Christmas of 1991.
WHO ? Jonathan , Craig or Kyle
@@farerse Craig Ferguson
Yes Craig said this attempt was foiled by his roommate.
@@Thelaceless Tommy the barman saved him by accident...
@@Thelaceless, by the Irish barman he'd gotten drunk with the night before, who saved him by giving him another drink.
"Doing bad TV things for America" LOL, he was the best thing to ever happen to American late night TV. No one did it better ❤

Have you been ever to Montreal? Sounds familiar :D
Things looked so 80's in the early 90's.
Thx for sharing mate, this is awesome beyond words :))
CBS and Craig Ferguson since 1991!
except Craig Ferguson wasnt on CBS until 2005
Gianni P 2004*

Tony Slattery did a fantastic Robbie Coltrane impression back in the day.
omg...didn't expect to find a clip of Craig this young.... don't know why I'm weirded out but I am XD
I hope Craig sees this

4:55 missing tooth
He got a lot of work done on his mouth during his late late show
Jonathan Ross was never even half the chat show host Craig Ferguson was.
Larry king today, unfortunately one day hopefully not for many of years it will be Craig’s day to go and people will come here to remember such a talent.
Wow, the amazing Steve Nieve from Elvis Costello's band on keyboards.
Colleen Byrne True story - dressed as Steve Nieve on Halloween 1984.
This was so long ago, Geoff Peterson was still alive!
Is this Pilot he's talking about the same one with Zach Braff? :D
Yes. And Gwyneth Paltrow
Jonathan Ross is so young and energetic here)
He still sounds the same today.
They sure had big suits back then.
Obi-Wan Kaczynski I hate that style
Is Craig talking about Head of the Class? I know Billy Connolly took over for Howard Hesseman during the end of its run. Just curious.
It was a pilot/TV movie that wasn't picked up, called High, made in 1991.
@@michelleadams5120 Roxanne Dawson from " Star Trek Voyager" was in it.
The most shocking thing is seeing the died black hair 😮
I was expecting Henry off of neighbour's. Wrong Mclachlan 😂
He was 29 here😂 looks 50. But hey he still looks 50 so what the hell
OMG! thats insane O.O this, is insane
Whose a better talk show host, Ross or Ferguson?
it is interesting to see Ross having a similar game with the 'we're live and the studio audience will not be on in any other show ... never'. Awesome to see this 23 years later
Have you noticed that he's pissed in this interview. Pause at 2:38-2:39 he has a little stumble.
+Rampage Clover I noticed that as well. He stumbled as he walked out. Hahahaha
CRAIG FERGUSON!!!
I noticed the stumble but he didn't seem pissed!
Man Craig really lost his accent over the years.
12:11 He was mumbling so much I thought he said something about Wrestlemania before I realised he meant Rossellini! ☻
Does anyone see the resemblance in looks and personality to young Robert Downey Jr.?
Yeah, same personality, same troubled past..
Am I the only one here for Kyle?
Yes.
takimashuda no you are on my good company 😋
Actually I typed in Kyle interviewed on late late show with Craig Ferguson. It would of been best interview ever, because he's the best "Late night Deuce". To bad it never happened though.😢
Craig was def under the influence of drugs in this show. I can see that from his eyes. The same sort of eyes when someone takes XTC.
Craig looks like a lost member of The Beatles
Do we have a picture of Paul McCartney?
OMG I’m here for Craig but Jonathan looks so different here 🤣
2:32 Craig
Was it a bank holiday? No-one mentioned anything.
why do so many British talk shows have wild colored sets. Graham Norton, Chatty Man, QI, and this?
jr* T because the UK is generally grey, wet and miserable... we need some colour from somewhere!
Robin Hosking grey but still beautiful. The green grasses and trees are incredible.

"Was that you before you went to rehab?"
Sure he's pissed here
I can't believe it, but I actually CANNOT understand what Craig is saying! lol.. WOW, he really had a strong accent back then.
I didn't get a word a' that!
1:24 cwaig Ferguson
He's a Cutie here and a Cutie now.
Craig's demeanor was so off... he seemed so uncomfortable
Jake I think it's cause the audience didn't laugh at anything he said
Keep in mind this was the peak of his alcoholism. He almost killed himself that Christmas. He cleaned up in Feb the next year.
baby kale and craigy i like it
Why the fuck he keeps fuckin saying bank fuckin holiday
because it was a bank holiday its like christmas to the brits
His teeth are missing properly from alcoholism
Jonathan Ross doesn't seem to like him.
I would buy the dvd to make them happy, but since I couldn't see the clip I don't know if it was shit or not. And I don't want to take the chance that it might be shit.

same act..#abitbygraves
Awkward interview
Cwaig Fuwguson =D
WOULD YOU RATHER? BE SOBER FOREVER.. or BE A SELF RIGHTEOUS ISRAELI ? #notjews
talk shows pre-xanax
What is the difference?
BTW I took xanax for 8 months and i still cannot tell what you meant
alcoholism....
So Jonathon Woss has always been shit...good to know
Why do you say that? I always thought he was really quick-witted and decently funny for a talkshow host
It's a wonder he ever made it. Sorry fan boys and girls, he is about as funny as an enema with Jimmy Savile. Shite as we say up North.
who Craig or Jonathan?
