He had the funniest monologues. He was so far superior to everyone before him - even better than Letterman and Carson. He desperately needed better guests and some polish on his interviews --- but his opening monologue was pure genius at times.
@@LuckyPlays Some polish on his interviews? He was the best interviewer by a long shot. He even had a decent conversation with Paris Hilton, he made her almost look like a normal person- a feat that no host had been able to do before. Letterman went for the cheap stuff, making fun of her like a 5th grader, not saying she doesn't deserve it for putting herself out with no specific talent, but it doesn't require special skill, like most of Dave´s stuff. Craig did creepy jokes, flirted with the women, but always respected them. His only bad interview that I can remember was his second one with Anthony Hopkins, but even that had it's moments. Letterman and Kimmel (look at the interview with Robert Downey Junior) make you feel awkward, because they never learned how to be social and respectful. Letterman had so many bad interviews, which is ok given that he had a long career, but he always treated unusual figures like Andre the giant or Marylin Manson like crap, making them feel bad for being different. Veerrry original, and I'm not even a fan of these guys. Had Craig interviewed them, they would be absolute classics. Carson was smooth, look at his interview with 105-year-old Mildred Holt in 1988- He took the opportunity to give an historic insight, by having a light and humorous conversation with an extremely old lady, who has seen so much in her life. In terms of respect compared to today, he seems lightyears ahead of modern entertainers, he was such a gentleman, but maybe that was required in that time period.
@@Rick-qo2ok He let it get awkward fart too many times for most celebrities. He's my favorite talk show hose of all time behind Carson, but I do think that was his weakest link. If he clicked with the celebrity, it was fun to watch. But his percentage of awkward interviews was too high, and I believe that over time, it hurt who he could attract to speak on his show. IMO
dielaughing73 No, Kimmel is just another one of the late night clones, same as all the others. _“OrAnGe MaN.......”_ **crowd gasps** _“BAD!”_ **frantic applause from braindead NPCs** Craig was the only one that was funny and edgy and not overly political.

Craig Ferguson you were the best in late night talk show. I loved every moment of your work and I wish you have a show of your on on TV again. thanks for all the GREAT TIMES you gave us.
I think he really is one of the few successful comedians with the intelligence to know when the coat doesn't fit him anymore , he needs a change and also the confidence and humility to move on and try something new ... I agree , he was as good as Letterman .
Craig was everybody's friend. He even made the audience part of the show. He was real and sincere, and the guests really took to him too. He's one of a kind. Today's hosts are all fake, shallow, and talentless
I don't think they're talentless. It's the corporate that destroys everything good and funny and nice about comedy. They've got such a tight grip on the shows, it can't be funny anymore. Just agressive and demeaning.
Ironic but not bitter, clever but not cruel, funny observer, but not driven by any agenda, and above all, not afraid to be absolutely, ridiculously silly! THE BEST.
Do you ever think therre might be a form of positive form of tourettes "YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS....YOURE VERY ATTRACTIVE" Man I loved Robin and Craig together.
for any of those people that wondered why Craig had a huge following among the younger age brackets, look no further than the last 3 minutes... man, i can't even begin to express how much i miss his show. #Assmöde
I think Craig is great - but he's wrong about how "nice" the young are. Two words: "Cancel Culture" puts paid to the idea that they young are "nicer now."
@@jakedunnegan cancel culture is nonsense. Louis CK is still doing gigs. People just don't want to put up with jerks and assholes in their entertainment anymore. That's the entertainment business, public taste dictates what sells.
Craig's been such an inspiration for many people. He's a man that cares more about being happy and share that happiness with others, than anything else.
The last three minutes of this should be played for every popular comedian working today. Craig has a self awareness that most people in showbusiness definitely lack.
and yet when he said the new generation was "kind of kinder" I get the impression he missed the point of "cancel culture". Maybe what he meant was more "inclusive"... oh wait, cancel culture doesn't believe in that either.
@@g4l430 Sure there are people who go overboard and miss the point, always and everywhere. But I'd say that Ferguson is overwhelmingly right. Younger generations today are, from my experience, undeniably doing a million times better a job at being kind and understanding with each other than *any* bloody generation before them. That's what I find from listening to young people instead of trying to tell them what to think. They're surrounded by people with ulterior motives, trying to tell them who they should hate and be afraid of, but they don't give a shit. Meeting someone who lives or thinks differently than them makes them curious to learn more, rather than scared and defensive. Exceptions confirm the rule. But overall it makes me really optimistic about the future of the world. If you look at who stirs up drama about today's social issues, it's practically never young people, or the people actually affected by the issues. It's groups of permanently enraged old people. Meanwhile, young people just shrug their shoulders and deal with things their way. As for "cancel culture", I think Daniel Sloss said it best: it's a term used by inferior comedians, as an excuse for when they find that people don't find their material funny anymore, and they're unable to come up with new and better stuff. That's why they're not really "cancelled", as much as they love playing the victim card and claiming how they're being silenced. Actually, they're constantly present on all the events and media channels catering to a certain political persuasion, and audiences there love their minority bashing. They maybe lost their _mainstream_ audience. It's their own decision to moan about it and claim that there's a conspiracy against them, rather than reflecting and asking themselves whether all the people who say their material isn't funny anymore might have a point.
@@DanielSaner The same people that are telling them who to hate and what to think are the ones painting the previous decades as being bloody and hateful.
Craig Ferguson has so much natural charm. Everything he says, he means. I miss watching him every weeknight. Whatever he decides to do or go, I am there.
Man I miss Craig's light night show. His was truly the best. I always loved the over the top flirtations and his little skits. It's funny with youtube his old show still seems to be wildly popular.
Would love nothing more than to see Craig with his own late night show again. But, remember, he's the one who quit. He was ready to do something else. Just miss how he did the show. The most unscripted feeling late night show of them all. Brilliantly funny in different ways and didn't much care for what anyone thought about how he was doing the show. He did his own thing and made us all laugh along the way.
I discovered Craig's show only too late. Thanks to RUclips over the years I have come to appreciate the awesomeness. Easily the best since Carson. A host that was genuine. Miss you Craig Ferguson, thanks for the laughs so far. Miss you too Geoff Peterson.
Being from New Zealand i think we had it running for a very very short time but i loved it. More my kind of humour than the others. Im always watching it on here!
Wow, I've been a recent fan of Craig's wit but this interview just showed me his character. It makes me happy because he feels like an older version of myself. I think he's one of those men who maybe had a rough start in life but has redeemed himself and found his way and that gives me hope.
I discovered Craig Ferguson after his show ended and regret I didn't see it when it was on. He is so funny and does it naturally. I also liked that he mentioned lyrics from one of my favorite musical artists.
Sooooo flippin annoying. Too bad he thinks people want to here him say right...yeah... plus his mic is louder than the guests. Shittie producing there. Check your levels, damn.
@@Krystalmyth hahaha, I mean, he said he didn't want to do the show anymore. He wanted to do something else. I miss him as well, but he's still active.
teared up a little bit when he said "if you wanna change the world, go ahead and change it...they're kinder and more thoughtful" would love to see more of him (and Geoff and Secretariat) someday, but one can only dream...
@Mike Urashevich I have to ask...I've only heard that line before from my dad retelling it from his past, as part of this...."Starkle starkle little twink, who the heck I are you think....." etc ...is that where you heard that also?! (I've just never heard anyone else say it!)
I remember when Ferguson took over the Late Late Show, I would actually make the effort to stay up to watch. Even at the time, you could tell he was the under the radar best late night host. It wasn't just his standup sections that were amazing at the beginning of each show, he was a hilarious interviewer. He could get a kind of mild guest with a topic that would have been a time filler on any other show and turn that little bit into something really enjoyable with the way he could find and coax out humor in anyone.
Craig did three Late Night episodes that I would rewatch on RUclips for years: The tributes to his mother and father after they passed and the episode where he said he wasn’t going to make fun of Britney Spears anymore and then went into his prior alcohol abuse stories. So great.
I wish he was still part of the late night shows. What he was able to pull off with what little he had to work with was incredible. I'm curious how much more he could have done if he had a bigger budget.
Craig is the best at interviewing and flirting with some of the hottest Hollywood Women. I can watch ther same interviews over& over and they're still entertaining
Craig is the real deal. Real humanity, the type of comedy that comes from a dark place that's been conquered. He was genuine. I miss his show so much 😭
I remember watching you Craig when you were on Drew Carry and thinking how I really disliked your character, and then later, after seeing you on late night tv thinking, seriously they will give these things to anyone.................and then I actually watched it and thought, wow, you're so very clever and spontaneous and your guests were often, mostly to be honest, very sexy, and you were very accommodating to that sexual tension and I really like it. The chemistry was amazing. You're amazing Craig. Count me in as a fan.
Oh, I wish you had stayed, Craig. You were the perfect follow up to Dave. When he retired, I think you would've been the correct person to fill those shoes. You are missed! PS. Not crazy about Stephen Colbert.
It is a way of being vocally engaged in real conversation (not mic recorded) to keep the sound energy and flow going. But you're right, it does not work at all in this context.
Craig had always special fan base. I am lucky to be one of them. And what i have noticed we dont much like the rest of late night show anchors. I felt really bad when watching his last episode. Anyways, great man, great unique sense of humor.
Craig, you always looked so nice on the show, and now you look like you're living under a bridge. You're loaded with talent and hopefully someone soon will "discover" it. Best wishes.
People, get over wishing Craig still had TLLS or took over for another host. If he wanted to, he'd do it. He's happy, and still making us happy. That's good enough for me.
The host was very annoying, but I think part of the microphone thing in this case is because Craig is so much more expressive and his maximum speaking volume is much louder than the host's relative monotone so they offset their mic volumes
How ironic that in a time when immigrants, regardless of legality, are vilified we find out that one of the best hosts America ever had was one. His mother and fathers eulogy speeches as well as his sobriety speech were incredible and touching during his time as host. I don't know why people forget that Americans descend from those who took what it took to come here and make something of themselves. I don't judge a man by his legal status but by the way he contributes to this country, large or small. Craig has made a tremendous contribution to talk show history with his unique brand of comedy and style but also an example of the kind of immigrant America has always attracted in the majority. This guy is such a legend.
BoosterBoxTrader find out? Who is “finding out?” Like he wrote books and had a comedy special all about becoming an american citizen. Beside the fact his accent is quite obvious. He never hid it on his talk show.
@@kdfkdf1711 yes, but it's not like everyone read those and watched craig's show? he was just stating that you "find out" when you come across a piece of his content. no need to fish for errors, mate
@@kdfkdf1711 I see what you mean and I wrote that part with a poor choice of words. What I meant to say is that collectively we in America who believe that America is only for Americans forget that immigrants have contributed tremendously to our society and that there are immigrants like Craig, who is a citizen, and many others without legal status who turn out to actually have been good for our country. What we find out is "Hey, he's different from me but in the end they want what we want". We don't find out that he's an immigrant, you're right to say that's obvious. We find out (over time) that people whom we tend to judge incorrectly may sometimes do more than we expected.
"How ironic that in a time when immigrants, regardless of legality, are vilified" What a load of sanctimonious shit, so there is a place called "Twitter", where you can circle jerk all day over the self-righteous shit that oozes out of your head.
The kids these days, I think they're doing alright...they're kind of kinder and more thoughtful. What an absolute legend. You can tell how he puts actual thought into his material instead of jumping on trends. I loved how his monologues were recorded ahead of time, so he would just reference history and science instead of current pop culture. I miss the show. Keep it up, Craig.
Dude, seriously. I couldn't even get through the entire fucking video because of that shit. Like every three words they say right, he didn't even get to complete a thought and they're saying right again. Like what are you saying right to? he didn't even fucking say anything yet. Jesus Christ, what terrible radio talk hosts.
In their defensive I don't think either of them have ever worked in radio. They train that shit out of you pretty fast. It's mostly them feeling like they HAVE to say something, anything.
Plus their microphones are turned up louder than Craig's so to get enough volume to hear him you get them blasting in with "yeah", "right", etc. I couldn't make it through the entire interview.
LOVE YOU Craig...❗🥰Still watch all the Shows on TLLS... and have a chuckle at your honest humor and comedy❗😁😂😆 Is it true that Geoff is really in a basement somewhere❓🤭💀
Craig sold his home in Los Angeles and moved back to Scotland. He got tired of the celebrity circles he was in and his boy is now in school in Scotland and nobody knows him in Scotland so he can mostly walk around unrecognised. He went to America to be famous and make money and he succeeded and is still sober and is doing stand up comedy touring including dates in America.

I would love to have his show back
Drink everytime Tom says "right" when Craig is talking
😊😀😁😃🙄😫😨😱🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 etc etc.
I've already checked myself into rehab
Octavyan ...no, no, no!
@Mike Urashevich I have to ask...I've only heard that line before from my dad retelling it from his past, as part of this...."Starkle starkle little twink, who the heck I are you think....." etc ...is that where you heard that also?! (I've just never heard anyone else say it!)
Dx... Are you trying to kill someone?
I remember when Ferguson took over the Late Late Show, I would actually make the effort to stay up to watch. Even at the time, you could tell he was the under the radar best late night host. It wasn't just his standup sections that were amazing at the beginning of each show, he was a hilarious interviewer. He could get a kind of mild guest with a topic that would have been a time filler on any other show and turn that little bit into something really enjoyable with the way he could find and coax out humor in anyone.
Craig did three Late Night episodes that I would rewatch on RUclips for years: The tributes to his mother and father after they passed and the episode where he said he wasn’t going to make fun of Britney Spears anymore and then went into his prior alcohol abuse stories. So great.
I wish he was still part of the late night shows. What he was able to pull off with what little he had to work with was incredible. I'm curious how much more he could have done if he had a bigger budget.
@Pete Alexandrou I think Craig was the best host, but he did the same stuff every night more than anyone. Time for e-mails!
Adore this man!! Thank you Craig!!! You blew those others so called “talk show hosts”...away!!! So glad to see you🤘🏻
Craig is the best at interviewing and flirting with some of the hottest Hollywood Women. I can watch ther same interviews over& over and they're still entertaining
Craig is the real deal. Real humanity, the type of comedy that comes from a dark place that's been conquered. He was genuine. I miss his show so much 😭
I remember watching you Craig when you were on Drew Carry and thinking how I really disliked your character, and then later, after seeing you on late night tv thinking, seriously they will give these things to anyone.................and then I actually watched it and thought, wow, you're so very clever and spontaneous and your guests were often, mostly to be honest, very sexy, and you were very accommodating to that sexual tension and I really like it. The chemistry was amazing. You're amazing Craig. Count me in as a fan.
Craig Ferguson was the best late night host! I wish he would come back.
Netflix, make a deal with CBS and upload The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson!
Renzo Farfán ...I don’t know how to link to channels, but here’s a link to a video on the archive channel ...

Jay Leno Fly here on youtube 😗👌
He's got loads of Lls stuff!
We need more Craig Ferguson. Make TV Great Again, bring back Craig Ferguson.
Secretariat!
Oh, I wish you had stayed, Craig. You were the perfect follow up to Dave. When he retired, I think you would've been the correct person to fill those shoes. You are missed!
PS. Not crazy about Stephen Colbert.
I feel the same way. I was kinda upset when I found out it was over. I thought, he and Conan were the next ones in line to take over the reigns.
Been tired of Stephen for a LONG time. Wish he left, and Jon Stewart stayed.
SpockBoy YES!
The world wide pants suited his talent.
Give him the Ellen slot. I know it wouldn’t work and he wouldn’t take it, but dreaming is free. 🤙🏻🔥
#DaytimeCraig
A daytime craig be awesome, offending ppl like the man show did
Craig with Papa and Fortune.....intelligent humor. That was great.
Craig is the best. I wish he was on now. He's so clever. I would watch him every night. Way better than the clowns they have on now and Letterman.
OMG the hosts are so annoying,. stop saying RIGHT just let him talk OMFG
It is a way of being vocally engaged in real conversation (not mic recorded) to keep the sound energy and flow going. But you're right, it does not work at all in this context.
right
right uh huh yeah right right
right right right right right right
riiiiight
Craig had always special fan base. I am lucky to be one of them. And what i have noticed we dont much like the rest of late night show anchors. I felt really bad when watching his last episode. Anyways, great man, great unique sense of humor.
Craig Ferguson.... He was Geoff's sidekick, right?
/s
Yeah man, i got a place in sidekick, been there recently, really nice weather .. 💀
Geoff? I thought the horse was the star of the show.
Craig, you always looked so nice on the show, and now you look like you're living under a bridge. You're loaded with talent and hopefully someone soon will "discover" it. Best wishes.
Netflix need to make another special with Craig 😄
Only talk show I want on Blu-Ray I literally could watch this over and over! Great person!!
Secretariat. Carried. The show. 😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣☃️☃️☃️.
That and Prince Charles! 😂

The only late night talk show I ever watched, miss this guy , wish he could have a comeback
People, get over wishing Craig still had TLLS or took over for another host. If he wanted to, he'd do it. He's happy, and still making us happy. That's good enough for me.
This is a good attitude.
Ok then, now you can take off your cape.
Craig please don’t disappear, any kind of come-back...I’ll take it!!!
Why is the host tuned in louder than the guest, and constantly trying to muscle his way into the mic?
Krystal Myth
Why don’t they both just shut the hell up and stop saying “yeah” “right “ and LISTEN
Sigh!
The host was very annoying, but I think part of the microphone thing in this case is because Craig is so much more expressive and his maximum speaking volume is much louder than the host's relative monotone so they offset their mic volumes
Probably afraid he'd end up taking over the show and put them out of their jobs.
A bit like graig did with guests ..just stating a fact ..
I still watch the reruns Craig your my favorite late nite show host
How ironic that in a time when immigrants, regardless of legality, are vilified we find out that one of the best hosts America ever had was one. His mother and fathers eulogy speeches as well as his sobriety speech were incredible and touching during his time as host. I don't know why people forget that Americans descend from those who took what it took to come here and make something of themselves. I don't judge a man by his legal status but by the way he contributes to this country, large or small. Craig has made a tremendous contribution to talk show history with his unique brand of comedy and style but also an example of the kind of immigrant America has always attracted in the majority. This guy is such a legend.
BoosterBoxTrader find out? Who is “finding out?” Like he wrote books and had a comedy special all about becoming an american citizen. Beside the fact his accent is quite obvious. He never hid it on his talk show.
@@kdfkdf1711 yes, but it's not like everyone read those and watched craig's show? he was just stating that you "find out" when you come across a piece of his content. no need to fish for errors, mate
@@kdfkdf1711 I see what you mean and I wrote that part with a poor choice of words. What I meant to say is that collectively we in America who believe that America is only for Americans forget that immigrants have contributed tremendously to our society and that there are immigrants like Craig, who is a citizen, and many others without legal status who turn out to actually have been good for our country. What we find out is "Hey, he's different from me but in the end they want what we want". We don't find out that he's an immigrant, you're right to say that's obvious. We find out (over time) that people whom we tend to judge incorrectly may sometimes do more than we expected.
Virtually no one's mad at legal immigration, but nice conflation, buddy.
"How ironic that in a time when immigrants, regardless of legality, are vilified" What a load of sanctimonious shit, so there is a place called "Twitter", where you can circle jerk all day over the self-righteous shit that oozes out of your head.
Netflix really needs to give him and JRT a show. REALLY. guys, save the world.
If you have seen his interviews on youtube you know that he is the greatest talk show host of all time
I remember watching him in middle school on Friday when I stayed up late😂
How many times do we hear the djs say right!
The kids these days, I think they're doing alright...they're kind of kinder and more thoughtful.
What an absolute legend. You can tell how he puts actual thought into his material instead of jumping on trends. I loved how his monologues were recorded ahead of time, so he would just reference history and science instead of current pop culture. I miss the show. Keep it up, Craig.
How many times can these hosts say the words "yeah" , "right" , "wow" , "sure" lol. For crying out loud shuttttttupppp!!!!
Dude, seriously. I couldn't even get through the entire fucking video because of that shit. Like every three words they say right, he didn't even get to complete a thought and they're saying right again. Like what are you saying right to? he didn't even fucking say anything yet. Jesus Christ, what terrible radio talk hosts.
Yeah. Right.. it was cool tho ... Woow
In their defensive I don't think either of them have ever worked in radio. They train that shit out of you pretty fast. It's mostly them feeling like they HAVE to say something, anything.
it's better than talking over the guest
Plus their microphones are turned up louder than Craig's so to get enough volume to hear him you get them blasting in with "yeah", "right", etc. I couldn't make it through the entire interview.
Love Craig's show so much!
What the Hell happened to Celebrity Name Game? That was the best game show with, Craig as host, ever.
This makes me like Craig even more. Especially the end. Thank you, sir
LOVE YOU Craig...❗🥰Still watch all the Shows on TLLS...
and have a chuckle at your honest humor and comedy❗😁😂😆
Is it true that Geoff is really in a basement somewhere❓🤭💀
I loved Craig's show. He was wonderfully weird and a bit fearless. He needs a national show in a good time slot.
Craig sold his home in Los Angeles and moved back to Scotland. He got tired of the celebrity circles he was in and his boy is now in school in Scotland and nobody knows him in Scotland so he can mostly walk around unrecognised.
He went to America to be famous and make money and he succeeded and is still sober and is doing stand up comedy touring including dates in America.
No one compares to Craig. Miss his show terribly!
After reading these comments about "right, yeah, yeah, right" I thought that it can't be that bad.
But come on, it's freakin pissing me off.
