I was stoned one day sitting on top of a wall. I got dizzy and fell off; spun in midair, and landed on my feet. Two cats were sitting nearby; one of them turned to the other one and said "See, that's how you do that..." Steven Wright
Best appearance ever! I am almost positive that this is a very rare recording of Steven laughing.. he smiles but NEVER actually laughs and that is fuckin insane in itself.. I've been a fan of Craig for a long time but I have a new found respect for the man.. takes the man an hour to tell one joke and he starts every DVD with it's a great day for America but getting Steven wright to laugh out loud has to be my favorite.. I know what I said doesn't make much sense to a lot of people but Craig would understand my respect for him if he read it
Amazing how Craig didn't deflect the potentially awkward god question and was able to answer it straight up while transitioning it into a humorous response.
He grew tired of it. He hated network nonsense, by the time he quit he was ten years in, had good money, just hated interviewing celebs every night. And he was never going to take over for Letterman. So his time was limited regardless
Of course that was a different "now." Now it was "then." In twenty years - give or take - it will be "back then." As I always say (really!): "It is what it is and can't be what it ain't."
"The wasp is the skinhead of the insect world." I even remember his sister's act, the Alexander Sisters. How surprising was it to suddenly see him on a top US chat show?
Does anyone actually know if Wright is a believer? He sounds more like an atheist/agnostic here I actually thought Ferguson gave a perfect answer, and that's exactly why I consider myself an agnostic instead of a pure atheist. Btw, how odd is it to hear Wright laugh, lol?
Chris Serpicø Atheism and Agnosticism aren't mutually exclusive. One can be an agnostic atheist. This would be someone who has no belief in the existence of gods, but doesn't claim to know that god doesn't exist.
Fart Bubble I agree. That’s roughly what I consider myself. Not because I think it’s plausible that there may be a bearded man in the sky - but because I think if the Universe was some kind of organism, that would technically be a god. Or if we were in the matrix - the creator would technically a god. Obviously those are not at all likely, but I think those kind of claims are much more likely than a bearded man that created himself before he existed and then created in the universe with his magic powers.
Steven has not reached the level of the top comics of his era because he is a pain in the ass to talk to. He can not adlib an interview. Carson LOVED him and had him on until Steven went to the couch. TOTAL BOMB
Check out "Steven Wright on Carson - Stand Up and Interview 1989." Spirited and funny conversation. Keep in mind Carson booked SW a second time like a week after his first appearance, and that was after a desk interview
In my opinion Ferguson isn't funny.. and wright was one of the best comedians I have ever seen.. Ferguson also came back to his home town in Cumbernauld (Scotland) where i worked at the the time with other famous kin... and was quite frankly rude.. with Michael Clark Duncan, who unfortunately died... but we where told we couldn't look at or speak to him. I am not insinuating anything for the mans death, but he is waaaaay above his station..

"Do you believe in God?"
"I believe that God thinks He's God."
Ha! Classic Steven!
My other favorite line related to that (not shown here) is “My theory on evolution is I think Darwin was adopted.”
Craig Ferguson...an absolutely phenomenal comedian. Steven Wright...as dry a humor as one can be, and incredibly hilarious!
This might be my favorite Steven Wright interview. It’s him without playing the exaggerated persona.
So this is how long it took for Steven to break his act and say something heart to heart what a genius
when did being "emotional" become equivalent to 'genius'?
Steven always looks so thrilled to be on Craig's, like he enjoys to just talk to him and laugh at his quick wit
erepsekahs Self reflection?
Craig is really great
He never was a guest on the rest, clearly it was mutual appreciation
"If I were you, I'd be sitting there." -Steven Wright.
I was never a Craig Ferguson fan but this clip kind of won me over...the dynamic is great, thanks for the upload!
Only Steven Wright could give anyone an existential crisis! In the funniest way possible! A legend!!

KnuckleHeaded Maggot Only Steven would buy a cordless extension cord and Craig would help him select the (w)right one.
I understand you. I am not Craig.
+Priyanshu Bharadwa (TheEXECentre) See you in hell amigo.
@@douglasdishman249 I knowwww
I understand perfectly what you said, I completely agree with you.
Ya know honestly I've never heard Steven Wright so normally heartfelt wow
This is a strangely emotional moment
Steven is the perfect guy to chat when you're stoned.
believe me, u'd like it more sober
"All I am is a secretary of my mind."
I bought some dehydrated water the other day. Don't know what to add. Steven Wright
Amazing how Craig didn't deflect the potentially awkward god question and was able to answer it straight up while transitioning it into a humorous response.
Craig ferguson is great
Why Craig quit I will never know. The only reason to keep cable. Everyone else is so fake and plastic. The last great talk show host.
He grew tired of it. He hated network nonsense, by the time he quit he was ten years in, had good money, just hated interviewing celebs every night. And he was never going to take over for Letterman. So his time was limited regardless
Conan is good but during his remotes. His show should cut out the celebrity interviews altogether.
I was really sad too. Witty and funny. And you could learn a lot about flirting with ladies from him. I miss him.
Pretty sure Craig Ferguson is the only person who can make Stephen Wright break 😂
he didn't break, he did it to make Craig look good
"I believe that god thinks he's god." -Steven Wright
The best line.
"Have you named your beard?" ~ "No, my beard is anonymous."
Such a fucking great show why did it have to goooo
steven complimenting his improv & it going completely over his head is the best shit ever
Craig ferguson is great
For some reason Craig can make Steven laugh…not many people can do that
Legend, indeed
I like to think these guys hang out and do this all the time. I also like to think.
steve still got it
Steve Furguson's best sexy Videos.
Really wanna hang out with this man. What a riot
Steven wright is one of my all-time favorites but Craig really gives him a run for his money here!
Lmfao, dude, Stephen Writght is my favorite human being ever!
"The biggest name-droppers are celebrities."
Craig was at his best on this show. Amazing.
"I used to have a dog, a split some spot remover on him and he disappeared".
I actually lol'd and that rarely happens
This is so great
Crap. I thought Steven died 10 years ago. I've been depressed for 10 years. Why did I think he'd died? Now, I'm happy.
10 years ago, did you watch the movie Ghost?
Mandela effect.
Mitch hedberg maybe
The mustache and goatee make him look like Scitch Henderson.
I was really hoping for the first thing he said is a very unenthusiastic "thanks"
I heard that sentence before when Craig Ferguson said it. That was a different now.
Of course that was a different "now." Now it was "then." In twenty years - give or take - it will be "back then." As I always say (really!): "It is what it is and can't be what it ain't."
Sounds like Dark Helmet
Now is always later than before
He could play Tevye in Fiddler.
"what I'm saying to you right now, is really happening"
Ferguson looks some addams family cousin
Who remembers Craig Ferguson as Bing Hitler?
"The wasp is the skinhead of the insect world." I even remember his sister's act, the Alexander Sisters. How surprising was it to suddenly see him on a top US chat show?
glammer define "top"
Aye ah dae remember Bing
Hitler..Pish.
what a strange conversationh
Steven Wright laughs! ahhhhhhh!
Hoping for some Stephen wright
Chow-angangowrah! Im going to use that the next time i get chinese food!
Imagine being an advertiser, and finding out that's the show that you paid to have your thing advertised on?
Steven... what ever man says is what it is.
Even high he's awesome.
Steve smoked a few joints before he came out.
mac11380 "a few"
mac11380 I was wondering about that.
mac11380 no way
Is steve stoned?
He was the guy on the couch in Half Baked, so probably not.
I never understood the dancing horse in this show
Wright once said that he bought a cordless extension cord.
Yes, and then many years later Bluetooth came along and now we all have them.
26 people dont know what good comedy is......
Yess
If I were you I'd be sitting there. 🥂
Nice to see Craig remembers he's Scottish now & again
Does anyone actually know if Wright is a believer? He sounds more like an atheist/agnostic here
I actually thought Ferguson gave a perfect answer, and that's exactly why I consider myself an agnostic instead of a pure atheist.

Yeah, that belly laugh caught me off-guard
What the fucj happened in this interview
Awesomeness
omg, a moustache episode ...
He looks a little like a homeless man.
2020 Covid19 lol
Wow. Steve sold his soul to Satan after he sat down with whatsisface (the host).
The beard doesn’t work
covering up a dropping neck - Wright is 62 years old
His humor works better when he is thin...
and sober. The buzz he's got on in this interview sloes him down just a bit.
Steven has not reached the level of the top comics of his era because he is a pain in the ass to talk to. He can not adlib an interview. Carson LOVED him and had him on until Steven went to the couch. TOTAL BOMB
mickavellian So true. Excellent observation.
Buddy he’s a top 10 comedian of all time. Do some research
Check out "Steven Wright on Carson - Stand Up and Interview 1989." Spirited and funny conversation. Keep in mind Carson booked SW a second time like a week after his first appearance, and that was after a desk interview
He used to be funny?
You used to have a sense of humour . . .
In my opinion Ferguson isn't funny.. and wright was one of the best comedians I have ever seen..
Ferguson also came back to his home town in Cumbernauld (Scotland) where i worked at the the time with other famous kin... and was quite frankly rude.. with Michael Clark Duncan, who unfortunately died... but we where told we couldn't look at or speak to him.

very bad interview
Actually a REALLY FUCKING GOOD INTERVIEW
What a waste of time
Craig ferguson is a terrible comedian
I disagree, he is great
I don't like comedians.. Particularly ones who have me laughing like there's no tomorrow.
