Larry was right, Craig deserved better. So unfortunate that mainstream america didn't understand him, didn't really "get" Craig's personality. He could have played it safe by being just like the rest but I enjoyed him more because he did his own thing and didn't care about winning awards and just wanted us to enjoy ourselves. James Corden could never compare to this man.
Just to stick up for James a bit: James Corden DOES his own thing, it's just that his thing happens to correlate well with the mainstream. Craig is better than James, but you can find worse than James as a show host (hell, Letterman had a show for 30 years or something, and he's the worst fucker that ever was on TV, just the worst.)
+SomeNiceMovies Dave was a pioneer, you have no idea what you're talking about. Being great is taking a risk, being original and people still liking it, not regurgitating the same formula. Craig was awesome because he was different but he also had a quickness of thought that is not common with all comedians. Craig was a breath of fresh air, James Corden is a good presenter, a good actor, singer, energetic and funny in his own way but he is no talk show host, the talk part is a skill mastered by very few. Carson is the standard of course in that regard. Jimmy Fallon is the best Corden can ever become, he's very similar, extremely talented and versatile guy but the talking part with the guests he just lacks.
I'd say Corden's better at it than Fallon. I still don't understand Fallon's appeal. But, back to the main point... Craig did it better than anyone else. In all seriousness, his approach to the show was fantastic and unlike anyone before or since.
Craig was the best late night talk show host ever in my opinion. He was incredible. The problem wasn't that Americans didn't get him. CBS didn't get him and never gave the show any real promotion. Most people never knew the show was there. You could watch CBS all day and never see an ad for Craig's show. Even Letterman ended his show and never threw to Craig--even though the show was up next. When people actually SAW Craig, they liked him.
RIGHT! I’m so glad I stumbled upon one of the compilations of his appearances on The Late Late Show a few years ago- I had no clue Larry King was funny! But he and Craig had some incredible comedic chemistry, didn’t they?
He did absolutely amazing! I laughed my ass off and so did everyone there + the guy was really brilliant and seemed like he took the advice if he didn't have something nice to say he wouldn't say anything at all.
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
You can see how happy Craig was when they had to take the first break. When the camera is panning back above the audience before cutting to commercials, you can see Craig running over to where Larry is and you can see how excited he was and I'm sure he went over to quickly tell Larry how great this bit is going and to keep doing whatever he is doing because it's working perfectly.
@@wanpakudanpu You dont think of Larry King as being funny when you know of him from his CNN show because you think of him as a serious substantive interviewer and journalist. Craig just knew how to get Larry into a comedic mood.
"I like chocolate, milk chocolate, I know dark chocolate is in but- you didn't want, you didn't want this did ya? You didn't want a robot who thinks...You didn't want someone who creates of his own mind. No. I like milk chocolate."
The great Larry King passed away today. With a 63 year career, spanning radio, tv, internet, and robot sidekick, this may very well be his magnum opus. RIP Larry King. He liked Milk Chocolate.
Craig's tweeted this video remembering Larry King. A legendary and memorable moment indeed from a broadcasting legend who rightfully respected and liked Craig. Rest in Peace, Larry King
"I was there for the primaries about.... 12 years ago" Craig's face after he said that was amazing, he realised at that exact moment the power he had unleashed lmfao
+TheKeithelliott I agree, his show would bomb at the earlier slots because people are expecting a certain type of content, but at late night, no one cares so he can do whatever he wants and he has the freedom to actually do it. Other shoes have to play it safe for ratings and to try to get emmy nominations. :/
I think a lot of people would have appreciated his comedy if they had known he was on. I only found his show by accident, as did many of his fans in the US. The ordinary person "got" his comedy and thought he was hilarious. It's CBS that didn't get it. They marginalized his show and kept it from getting the ratings it could have gotten if they would have supported it. Got to blame Letterman for some of that too. Craig's show followed Letterman's and not ONCE did he even say "Stay tuned for the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," or whatever. Don't get me started.
I realized one thing about Craig during his "farewell tour" kind of year: He cannot accept compliments. Anytime someone would say how great he is or how missed he will be...he turned it into a joke and change the subject.
Maximus decimus meridius Especially given his history, I'd say it's his somewhat depressive personality. Self-deprecation is a very easy coping mechanism. He also talks about his Scottish upbringing sometimes, and how heavily emphasised being humble was, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
Tom Cadogan Agreed. I read his book and he has a pretty sordid past. My guess is that he feels extraordinarily lucky to be where he is and probably feels somewhat guilty about his success. He understands that some people work hard all their life and do all the right things and don't have half the success to show for it.
On the Pete Holmes podcast, when asked about one thing in his life that made Craig laugh the hardest (something Pete asks all of his guests), he mentioned this. Which made me so, so happy.
Same here 😥 I had stopped watching late night talk shows in the 90s and i didnt really follow the genre since. Then a couple yrs ago clips of Craigs antics started showing up in my feed and i was hooked. Id still have cable if this show existed today. The guy is just the king of charisma
Same man. Never even heard of Craig Ferguson, ended up stumbling upon a gold mine of some of the funniest late night ever. Laughed harder in this 12 minutes than I ever did in this era of Jimmys
Larry King was so cool and gracious here. For some one of his stature to do a bit like this shows how unpretentious he is. He get's it, and isn't taken with himself.
I loved Larry’s appearances on the show. Larry and Craig had such a delightful relationship, and it was always hilarious watching him react to all the wackiness. Rest in peace Larry King.
Aw, just read of his passing minutes ago, and this was literally the first thing that popped into my mind. I’m glad he was able to show this side of his personality- he was surprisingly funny. Rest In Peace Mr. King 👑
I remember watching this episode when it aired. Probably the funniest episode of the show in my opinion. Thank you Larry King for entertaining us as Geoff. Rest In Peace.
Wow!...I mean WOW!!!.....I never saw this show till it was too late, however I have watched MANY episodes on youtube... This is by FAR the funniest one ever...
Larry never understood the desire to end a popular show. He wanted Craig to continue. I love how he tried to give him advice. It was so sweet. "This is either the worst or best idea I have ever end."
Simply the best TV show, both live and on the tube. I miss the machine gun pace that never missed the mark. I’m grateful to have been in the audience. Thank god RUclips keeps us laughing. These strange days are trying times.
Damn, I just heard about Larry's death and immediately wanted to watch that video again. Makes me sad, hope mr. suspenders is having a fun time upstairs.
OH MY GAWD! HOW?! How is it 2018 & I'm *just now* watching this?! It's so damn funny that now my stomach hurts from laughing AND I accidentally woke my dog! A million bazillion heartfelt giggly thanks for this upload!!
After Craig left the show I stopped watching TV altogether. He and Letterman were the last two pillars of late night television worth watching. I do hope Craig comes back to host another talk show someday. He's second to none.
Larry King spent 60 years being calm, reserved, and professional, saving up every random thought for the moment he could pilot a robot.
Larry was right, Craig deserved better. So unfortunate that mainstream america didn't understand him, didn't really "get" Craig's personality. He could have played it safe by being just like the rest but I enjoyed him more because he did his own thing and didn't care about winning awards and just wanted us to enjoy ourselves.

3:48 Larry King interrupting himself with "it's true" twice always kills me
As if he was disagreeing with himself. 😅
I liked Madeline Kahn's "It's True" better.
RIP Larry King. This was brilliant television. Larry King and Craig Ferguson - what a team!
RIGHT! I’m so glad I stumbled upon one of the compilations of his appearances on The Late Late Show a few years ago- I had no clue Larry King was funny!
But he and Craig had some incredible comedic chemistry, didn’t they?
I've seen this so many times, never gets old. RIP to Larry King.
He did absolutely amazing! I laughed my ass off and so did everyone there + the guy was really brilliant and seemed like he took the advice if he didn't have something nice to say he wouldn't say anything at all.
I hope he's getting all the milk chocolate he wants in heaven
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
You didn't want this, did you?!
You didn't want a robot who thinks!
You didn't want someone who creates of his own mind!
I like MILK CHOCOLATE!!
oh my god hahahahaha
I LMAO every time I see this. :D
Idk how many years later, but this is still my go to when i wanna laugh
The milk chocolate rant is one of my favorites of all time
I've never laughed like I laughed at that
Possibly the most unexpectedly, funniest things that ever happened through the entire run of the show. This is gold on all levels.
You can see how happy Craig was when they had to take the first break. When the camera is panning back above the audience before cutting to commercials, you can see Craig running over to where Larry is and you can see how excited he was and I'm sure he went over to quickly tell Larry how great this bit is going and to keep doing whatever he is doing because it's working perfectly.
Rest In Peace, Larry King.
I’d like to think a piece of his soul is still in Geoff Peterson.
This was one of the first clips I came to look for. One of the funniest things I've ever seen...
@@wanpakudanpu You dont think of Larry King as being funny when you know of him from his CNN show because you think of him as a serious substantive interviewer and journalist. Craig just knew how to get Larry into a comedic mood.
@@afweath05 Conan O'brian always got Larry wound up, also
In his pants.....
That means the old hag now partially lives on in Craig's house. They deserve each other.
"I like chocolate, milk chocolate, I know dark chocolate is in but- you didn't want, you didn't want this did ya? You didn't want a robot who thinks...You didn't want someone who creates of his own mind. No. I like milk chocolate."
Shut up !! SHUT UPPPP!!!
I watched it seven times in a row and cracked up just as hard each time.
You wanna leave? I’ll do the show.
I cracked up so hard the first time i saw that part i was just shaking not making any noise..and the lady cackling in the back made me laugh even more
Had to come here after hearing of Larry King's passing. "You didn't want this, you didn't want a robot who thinks"
Craig became the sidekick on his own show....epic
I love how they gave Geoff suspenders
ikr!
The great Larry King passed away today. With a 63 year career, spanning radio, tv, internet, and robot sidekick, this may very well be his magnum opus. RIP Larry King. He liked Milk Chocolate.
First thing I wanted to watch after hearing the sad sad news. RIP Larry
Craig's tweeted this video remembering Larry King. A legendary and memorable moment indeed from a broadcasting legend who rightfully respected and liked Craig. Rest in Peace, Larry King
"I was there for the primaries about.... 12 years ago" Craig's face after he said that was amazing, he realised at that exact moment the power he had unleashed lmfao
"I feel like I'm in a crazy dream." Molly Shannon summed up the Craig Ferguson show perfectly.
Anthony Hopkins got it better when he was asked if he's been to a therapist and he said "No, but I'll definitely go after this show"
Great compliments by Larry at 10:20. Problem is the mainstream masses wouldn't 'get' Craig.
TheKeithelliott Larry was just telling the truth. Craig Ferguson must be the most underrated late night host in the US.
+TheKeithelliott Only the hobos in the studio and stoners in their underwear appreciate his comedy :D
+TheKeithelliott I agree, his show would bomb at the earlier slots because people are expecting a certain type of content, but at late night, no one cares so he can do whatever he wants and he has the freedom to actually do it.

Dang do you have a link to that
@@DownloadEvony it's available for free if you search it, I just found it.
Larry passed away. :( I had to come back to this. RIP to a legend.
That was so classy of Larry to compliment Craig like that.
When Craig actually aired, I never knew. Now I watch reruns on RUclips and always get a kick.
you share this condition with every one of Craig 's internet fans in the UK
@Nesrine Feriel Indian with the same condition checking in.
Same here 😥

Passive-aggressive Larry King Geoff @ 08:20 LOL
"I just try to bring some clarity to the show. Back to you, Craig." hahaha
"YOU DIDN'T WANT A ROBOT WHO THINKS, DID YOU?!"
Holy hell. I'm dying. Never knew Larry King was so funny.
RIP best guest Geoff.

"This is so new to me, to be a robot"

"I have my own harmonica - i dont know how to play harmonica"
I almost pissed myself lmao
I think I have...
still funny
1933 - 2021. RIP and thank you for your time shared with us Larry King ♥️
When I heard Larry King had passed, I immediately looked this episode up. RIP to the great broadcast king!!!
Had to watch this again when I heard the news. RIP, Larry.
RIP Larry. This was one of your greatest performances.
Funny as hell, I love how the punch line is literally just the King himself. RIP Larry, one of the greats.
I loved Larry’s appearances on the show. Larry and Craig had such a delightful relationship, and it was always hilarious watching him react to all the wackiness. Rest in peace Larry King.
RIP Larry
I'm gonna miss this crazy banter
RIP to the Legend, Larry King.
RIP Larry King. My favorite clip of him.
RIP Larry "Geoff Peterson" King
RIP Larry King. We´ll miss you.
R.I.P. Larry, this will always make me happy
This is one of my go to's anytime I wanna be dying laughing
RIP King
It's always fun when Craig and Larry get together, but this was extra special! They're both very solid men!
It started out a little slow. But this turned out to be fucking awesome. Just listening to him ramble is gold
When I heard he passed this was the first thing I thought of...and saw Craig tweeted it himself. Excellent. RIP to a legend.
I love how, towards the end, Larry reminded Craig to thank the guests. Little moments like that demonstrate just how classy a host Larry was.
“If you’re unhappy with me as a robot, DON’T HAVE ME BACK!!!!”
Lmfao 😂
RIP Larry King 😢 This was one of my favorite episodes of the late late show
#RIPLarryKing. Thank you for the laughs, Larry King Geoff!
Legend! R.I.P Larry King
I am beaming ear to ear watching this. Knowing how much Larry really enjoys & respects Craig's charisma & humor. So many adore this show.
Aw, just read of his passing minutes ago, and this was literally the first thing that popped into my mind. I’m glad he was able to show this side of his personality- he was surprisingly funny. Rest In Peace Mr. King 👑
“Heroes always get remembered, but legends never die” Rest In Peace 💔🕊
I LOVE this clip so much! Just brilliant, spontaneous comedy!!! Still brings tears to my eyes with silly laughter, gold
I remember watching this episode when it aired. Probably the funniest episode of the show in my opinion. Thank you Larry King for entertaining us as Geoff. Rest In Peace.
he's so old but he's Larry King that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life I will cherish it for my entire life goodbye.
Watching his appearences on Craig's show after his death feels so sad yet warm.
Wow!...I mean WOW!!!.....I never saw this show till it was too late, however I have watched MANY episodes on youtube... This is by FAR the funniest one ever...

craig must have been really proud at the end of the show...to be praised by a man like larry...
I really miss this show. There aren't too many shows where I actually laughed out loud at. This was definitely one.
5:50 to 6:20 best 30 seconds of television ever made
dont forget 6:22 has me in tears every time
Yes! I'm in tears!
That has to be the greatest 30 seconds that Larry king ever did 🤣
You didn’t want a robot who THINKS
i swear to god this is one of the best things ive ever seen
gods bless larry king
"I walked the streets of Manchester" hahahahaha

lmfao.
I though he's gonna say 'I have a place there" hahaha. (Just like the old Geoff the Robot does every time they 'travel') hahaha
+KingFisheR00011 me too that would of been so funny though.
Everyone laughed because the first thing they thought of - he walked there to throw beads at people LOL.
RIP Larry. This was the greatest thing ever. Thank you❤️
❤️ He will be remembered. ❤️
This was a legendary episode. Getting props from an institute like Larry is a compliment set in stone
We'll miss you Larry!!😔😔
man i miss this show so much
rest in peace larry you were the best
RIP LARRY KING...going to miss you...tough 2021

RIP Larry, a TRUE blue entertainer
Rest In Peace! I really enjoyed Larry King Geoff!
What great synergy... Rip to one of the greats
RIP Larry watching this in his memory
This is perhaps the most surreal thing to appear on network TV in the last few decades.
RIP Larry, we'll miss you
Rest In Peace Larry King.
You'll always be remembered as the weirdest Geoff version.
Honest friendship. Serious comedy genius for eternity!
RIP Larry King.
My head started to hurt I was laughing so hard at this. Absolutely brilliant!
Many times Larry spoke out that this Show deserves more attention. He was so right!
One of the finest moments in television and, like lightning in a bottle, could never be re-captured again. Thank god for youtube!
We will all miss him....RIP The curious Mr..King. ! 👏👏🙏🇨🇦
Damn, I just heard about Larry's death and immediately wanted to watch that video again. Makes me sad, hope mr. suspenders is having a fun time upstairs.
glad to see i'm not the only one here after the news...
This is one of the finniest episodes ever
OH MY GAWD! HOW?! How is it 2018 & I'm *just now* watching this?! It's so damn funny that now my stomach hurts from laughing AND I accidentally woke my dog! A million bazillion heartfelt giggly thanks for this upload!!
It's great isn't it? This show had so many unexpectedly hilarious moments
Same thing happened to me in 2015.
Final episode is so freaking awesome.
😃😄👍💜✨
RIP Larry.
R.I.P Larry King :(
After Craig left the show I stopped watching TV altogether. He and Letterman were the last two pillars of late night television worth watching. I do hope Craig comes back to host another talk show someday. He's second to none.
Letterman & Ferguson...best late night line up
That is so true! Late nite now is SO LAME, haven't watched any of them, Corden is the worst!
