You NEVER want to miss a Craig opening... they are THAT good. Either it's a song or something else brilliant- but you NEVER want to miss the opening....
Couldn't have said it better,the Tonight Show has been a downward trajectory since Jay Leno,then NBC couldn't give Conan a chance,then more unfunny and lack of loyalty from Jay,then Jimmy' Fallon,taking The Tonight Show to a whole new level of non watch able. The sad part to me was I thought he was good on SNL,some people can do Late night shows and others can't
This song played at a race I was volunteering at, and I did as much of this jig as I could from memory. I got whistles and applause from the runners passing by. ;D
I have seen them all and this one is my favorite mainly for the "choreography" and the facial expressions. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite. I was disappointed that Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" was not counted on the voting list. They are all a hoot. Thanks RUclips buddies for letting us know if we missed something.
i love this shit! i've watched this many times and still lmao. all of his lip sync intros are great. Craig is the man. he blows all the others out of the water.
Huff Post had a story today on "The 29 Funniest Musical Sketches of all time". ♦ I can't believe this wasn't included ♦. Of course I had to leave a comment about this ommision!
i love how craig knows all the words.. the other times like when he did Im yours he and the guy on the right just made shapes with their mouths to make it look like they were singing (: I LOVE CRAIG!
@TheMrsglambert I saw him live two years ago and it was awesome! If anyone is lucky enough to catch it, it is money well spent and worth the two hour drive. The whole town of Easton Pa was excited to have him come to the State Theatre which was a beautifull venue. He's coming back and they had to expand the capacity for the crowd. I think he's even better than Carson was back in the day... Somebody did upload the end of the show that you saw, bless them for sharing!
schofyproductions: I smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish but when I went to him live there was no way I was going to leave my seat for one second, and I was in the back row on the ground floor. The show was fabulous and everyone was in town to see it. And he does this show sober! I know??? He-he. CBS give him a raise.
I agree! he is one of a kind, EXTREMELY talented and underestimated, he is soooooooooo funny, he really cheers up my day!!! he is the best !!! craig rocks!!!!!!!!
@19Irishdancer I am truly amazed that anyone could dislike this. Seriously. They've lost me. I don't care how many times I see this, it cracks me the hell up every single time, and I will never hear this song the same way again. He's so INTO the lyrics, that's what kills me. Best opening ever, and proof that Craig's the best (and sexiest) late night host out there.
obiwanobiwan13, You are so right. You Never want to miss the Craig opening. I have it set up to record every night, my biggest fear is a power outage. I would rather watch a rerun of Craig than a first run of Jimmy (get him some ritalin, quick) Fallon. Nothing personal but I just don't find one interesting thing about his show, or for that matter, Conan O'Brian either.
The guy has charisma, self confidence, and the sort of glow that hangs around all ex-junkies like Craig Ferguson, Russel Brand etc. They have that special something.
Craig is FUNNY as hell! And grabbing his crotch LoL LoL LoL is so.......you know. All of them are great in this, his "back ups" and the puppets make this 100% the funniest parody!!!!
Ferguson is hands-down the most entertaining and most daring late night guy out there. Since I began watcihng him I find all the rest dull. Not to mention, that man's got some moves, lordy have mercy! :-P~~~
This is seriously one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Spears should cut him a deal next time she releases a song - it would be the most successful video of all time! Ferguson is a complete dickhead and I love him! :D
@meLuvs2act He makes every day of my life better. I never thought I would actually want to hear a Brittney Spears song, however, Craig makes us all think of things in a "different" way. And that's a good thing.
Leno, Conan and cie should just retire. If I was in their place I would be ashamed to continue making television when someone is so far better than me. Craig, you're simply and merely THE BEST
In a class all by himself. Leno, Letterman, and even Conan have lost it. Ferguson beats his own, self-deprecating drum and is far ahead of his competition.
OMG THIS MAN IS MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN EVER! Holy shit legit when I watched this last night I nearly pissed my pants. This man is a comedy genius and I wish I could learn everything he knows about comedy.
I will never forget this man. Late night sucks without him.
You're still not wrong.
You NEVER want to miss a Craig opening... they are THAT good. Either it's a song or something else brilliant- but you NEVER want to miss the opening....
Why do i always find myself watching this clip? Oh that's right, it's freaking brilliant!! always makes me feel INSTANTLY happy!!
That performance asked for more preparation than the show. haha!
Well that's something he'd say. :P
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💯💯💯
Just one of my many favorite moments of Craig.
These are way funnier than Fallon's lip sync battles.
That's not hard to achieve 😂

This song is 20 years old now lol
I miss Craig hosting the Late Late Show.

THIS IS WHY CRAIG IS THE BEST TALK SHOW HOST EVER.
How did I miss this??! I Tivo every episode--THANK GOD it's here!! My new FAV
I love how he just flys into the shot!!!
i love this shit! i've watched this many times and still lmao. all of his lip sync intros are great. Craig is the man. he blows all the others out of the water.
This never fails to make me happy!

So hilarious Craigs knows the lyrics of the song ....I love this man😃😄😂
Love this. Can watch it daily
Love this!! Forever!! Craig going to miss him!!!
Omg with dancing and the puppets and then the phone! Hahahaaaaa!!!!!! Endlessly funny!
WE MISS YOU CRAIG...
COME BACK......
this never gets old :)
this clip does make you feel instantly happy, i grin like an idiot every time i see it.
The black guy on the left works at the set; last 2 tapings I have seen live he gave everyone high fives as we entered the studio
I was wondering who he was
i love how craig knows all the words.. the other times like when he did Im yours he and the guy on the right just made shapes with their mouths to make it look like they were singing (: I LOVE CRAIG!
RIP Late Late Show
@c6quad3 He did this song to close his show in Chicago... my little bro and I were in tears... awesome!
That look at the end. Classic.
This will never get old
Everytime i attend his show & watch this clip, i fell off laughin this made my day!
He was and is a star
@TheMrsglambert
I saw him live two years ago and it was awesome! If anyone is lucky enough to catch it, it is money well spent and worth the two hour drive.

I'd watched Dave this night and was straightening up my living room before going to bed when this came on. I've been watching Craig ever since!
most innovative guy on television

THIS IS MY FAVORITE opening i dvr'd it and watched it like everyday.... til it was erased.... Im mad he knew all the words lmao!
That's the sheer genious of this bit.
Best 2 minutes of my life :)
Awesome reply. You have nothing to apologize for, they probably loved it ♥
I live for these priceless Craig clips!
damn how did i miss this lol.
Craig ftw
I love that he does this at his live shows too!!!! :D
and this is why this man is my Scottish god.
I agree! he is one of a kind, EXTREMELY talented and underestimated, he is soooooooooo funny, he really cheers up my day!!! he is the best !!! craig rocks!!!!!!!!
"Oops I did it again"
That's what I say to myself every time I watch this video
My life is now complete
This is frickin' hysterical!

HAHAHA im sooo glad someone posted this.
i was laughing so hard when i was watching this last night. Craig is amazing!!
This is how he closed out his stand-up performance here in Nashville last month, complete with the other two dudes.
obiwanobiwan13,

This is fucking outstanding!!
By far the best late-night guy out there.
he's got them all beat. hands down.
Flew from Hilton Head, SC to Los Vegas just to see Cougar Fingers!
lol the puppets are awesome :)
And that is why I am absolutely in love with this man!!! :)
soo much eye contact
So.. this is the ... 5th time today that I've watched this.
The guy has charisma, self confidence, and the sort of glow that hangs around all ex-junkies like Craig Ferguson, Russel Brand etc. They have that special something.
LMAO! i know right... me and my gramma were cracking up at him.... he was soooo lost!
I think I'm in love with him.
I wish I had the balls to do this at school
Nothing should ever stop you
This made me happy ❤❤❤ love the puppets and the silly dance, also, come on, it's Britney!
Craig is awesome. he should've received an Emmy nom
Wait, if Craig's dancing, WHO'S CONTROLLING THE PUPPETS?! AHHHHHHHHH! *runs off*
i absolutely love this♥
The Master.
I must have a shark puppet!
The funniest cold opens in late night history belong to Ferguson. I miss his show.
Craig is FUNNY as hell! And grabbing his crotch LoL LoL LoL is so.......you know. All of them are great in this, his "back ups" and the puppets make this 100% the funniest parody!!!!
LOL. Jeff (in the blonde wig) refuses to lip sync!
Ferguson is hands-down the most entertaining and most daring late night guy out there. Since I began watcihng him I find all the rest dull. Not to mention, that man's got some moves, lordy have mercy! :-P~~~
this is the best
Priceless. lol.
Most Most Effin' EXCELLENT!
Oh, Bondage Boy! You are even cuter dressed up in Harry Potter hair and glasses.
LOL AT HIS ENTRANCE!! xD
Love this!
Craig is the man....I notice that alot of the late night guys are starting to copy him. Long live Craig!!!
did anyone else learn this dance ?
Craig was the best in late night! James Corden is a very close second.
This is seriously one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Spears should cut him a deal next time she releases a song - it would be the most successful video of all time! Ferguson is a complete dickhead and I love him! :D
@meLuvs2act
He makes every day of my life better.
I never thought I would actually want to hear a Brittney Spears song, however, Craig makes us all think of things in a "different" way. And that's a good thing.
Letterman and Leno are losers. This guy is original and actually FUNNY! I like his honesty and self-effacing sense of humor. A fan for life.
i cant believe craig knows the lyrics to that song ^^
they should have this on just dance. XD
The 3 of you who disliked this video should just join Al Queda.
That Bunny was channeling Britney! No lie!!!!
PRICELESS!!! He's just hilarious...
Leno, Conan and cie should just retire. If I was in their place I would be ashamed to continue making television when someone is so far better than me.
Craig, you're simply and merely THE BEST
I think the guy in leather is hot. Sue me!
the rabbit looks like tupac!
@maestro22121 I so agree with you!!! I love craigy!! :D
Jobbers.. you say.. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.. theyre people who were told to put The Viking Raiders over.. KEEP UP!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it !!
Can't... Breathe.. God.. Help... ME!
Craig is the best.. PERIOD!
LMAO!! love it everytime i watch it xD
In a class all by himself. Leno, Letterman, and even Conan have lost it. Ferguson beats his own, self-deprecating drum and is far ahead of his competition.
OMG THIS MAN IS MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN EVER! Holy shit legit when I watched this last night I nearly pissed my pants. This man is a comedy genius and I wish I could learn everything he knows about comedy.
oh...my...god
LMAO!!!!
amen
Absolutely shameless. He's awesome.
