It's funny that at this time, neither Craig nor Hugh were well-known in the US. A small niche audience knew Hugh from "A Bit of Fry & Laurie", "Black Adder", "Jeeves and Wooster", and a few other things. Craig would have been known to fans of "The Drew Carey Show", which I guess? was reasonably popular for a time, but not with anyone I know. And now Hugh is a world-class star and Craig is primarily known as having been the most innovative TV talk show host since the form was invented.
The Drew Carey Show was a pretty big hit, but Ferguson's character was only really a supporting role, appearing considerably less than the other leads.
@@thedarkknight2001 That was what I thought the OP was working towards, and by the end of the comment I forgot about it and felt vaguely underwhelmed. :D It is, indeed, the best part of it.
The cheap bastards barley even paid Craig, they weren't going to shell out for Hugh Laurie money. CBS didn't appreciate what an amazing and successful show Ferguson built out of their ashes.
So cool to see this early clip. Craig became famous for tearing the question cards later in his career, here you can see him taking quick peeks at his card in front of him. I loved this show with his cold opening, and his fast wit. Gonna miss you Craig, Goeff, and Wavy.
I was gonna say, I was pretty sure David Duchovy was his first guest. But this was before he was officially the host. INTERESTING! We need more Archivist in the world like you.
Hey! You're right. I just watched it. David Duchovny and then a woman who I didn't know but whom Craig had gone on a date with years before. David Duchovny was a fantastic first guest.
What a difference between the starting out Craig and the established Craig. I don't know what encouraged the 'devil may care' flambouyant Craig but Hallef**kenlujah. Magic happened and changed Late Shows forever. Never afraid to make an idiot of himself, no made up questions, no fake laughter, no 'everything on the set HAS to be 'perfect'. So grateful to youtube for being able to watch a genuinely funny Late Show host do it how it should be done.
These guys have a great chemistry. Craig started out brilliantly and kept that pace and even improved the show at the end, with his two side kicks. He became my favorite talk show host, with Conan being second. 2/12/23
Two of my all time favorite personalities having a chat. Both, absolutely brilliant performers! Imagine a show starring Laurie and Ferguson....that would be seriously amazing!
I love how Hugh is like "I haven't unpacked my suitcase... I expect to be fired any week," and the show ran for YEARS!! Not to mention, it's WEIRD seeing what the set looked like back then compared to when I started watching. Nice they finally got a budget for the show!!

But that *was* the sentiment. With every TV show it is that, basically: you never know beforehand if it'll work at all. Lots of shows get cancelled after and sometime during their first season.
Jürgen Erhard I know, Patrick Stewart was the same way about ST:TNG. He thought they didn't have a shot, that people would constantly be comparing them to ST:TOS. It's funny, some of the most popular shows, the cast thought that way. I wonder if there are ever any shows where the actors think "WHEN WILL IT END?!"
Blair Brown That does sound a bit arrogant though, that's like saying you cannot reach true success unless you become successful in America, and that simply is not true. I would say that there is a difference between being globally famous and famous in part of the world, and yes in this case that is a difference for Hugh, but he had plenty of real success before. He was already a millionaire and famous in much of Europe.
On the contrary Craig wasn't very successful outside of America, not to disregard Craig, the point is being successful on America does not mean being successful globally.
The date was 14 October 2004, when the LLS was first hosted by Craig Ferguson, with guests, Steve Byrne, Paula Cole, Jami Gertz, Famke Janssen, Kip Madsen and Jay Phillips. He was selected as permanent host in 2004.
God its only been 2 days since the show ended and I miss it already ! My monday - friday nights are gonna suck now I know craig wanted to move on and do new things but what about me what the fuck am I going to do now ? Thanks CRAIG !
FordFracture I know how you feel. My wife is English so I have seen James Cordon in some funny movies. How he does as a late night host is another story. I will at least give him a chance and watch for a while. One never knows. Here's hoping.
You can tell Craig is very nervous, but he gets comfortable half way through and then near the end when he asks about "recreation" he tenses up again. I wonder if that's the producer's influence ("cut to a commercial") that's creating the slight tension. I love seeing them both before they were big in America. Thanks from Scotland.
Love both of these men! So intelligent and hilarious. I first started watching Hugh Laurie in House. Then I saw him on a talk show where he was speaking with his original accent and it shocked me!
My Gosh Hugh Laurie is so hot, I’ve seen each episode of House 8 times each in fact season 8 episode 2 or 3 my friend plays his masseuse and she got to touch him. I don’t care how old he is he will always be on my freebie list
He looked at his notes... He looked at his notes?! What the hell! I know it's the first episode ever but WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR CRAIG?!
Lunar Light but tbh tho most of the stuff they talked about didn’t seem like something that would be on a notecard, most of it seems like a natural conversation which is impressive enough as it is, especially considering it being his first show like... GODDAMN XD
To me it almost looks like he looked at the cards and went "nah, not gonna ask _Hugh_ _Laurie_ such generic questions, let's just talk". It's such a short peek I barely noticed.
Now that Craig's leaving :((((( I really hope that he continues the tradition started by Conan and Leno of having his very first guest be his very last, and bring back Hugh Laurie for the last show. I think Kristen Bell needs to make an appearance too, but Hugh deserves to be the final guest!
I didn't start watching Craig until about 2009 when I was on unemployment. I would love to see these earlier episodes. If you have them, please upload them.
That set was left over from Craig Kilborn's "LATE LATE SHOW". When Ferguson began his own series in January 2005, the network built him a different set...yet, still a "dark basement".
I remember at one point it seemed as if I was having trouble relating to the Craig kilborn show and he would sometimes have a way of making you feel like you didn't understand what the inside joke was . So I started to enjoy his show less and less . Then one night he says something about next month and somebody off stage said something to him about there won't be a next month or something like that and he looked really shocked and I guess that's when they broke the news to him on live television that he was going off the air . At that time I remember wondering why he didn't know before hand . I don't know if he was a jerk towards some of the workers there or what happened ? It was just very strange that he found out his show was being cancelled while he was on live TV .
I'm sort of the opposite. I like the 'huge' references in this interview. Flash forward a few years and Craig's first question to Hugh is if his penis is crooked. Blah! Where's the artistry or cleverness in that? It's imbecilic imho.
@@d.jensen5153 I'm not a pompous sanctimonious idiot that believes that jokes with supposedly very clever remarks are better than penis jokes, just because I think I'm the only one who understand them. Neither I believe that not being amused by fart jokes makes me smarter than the rest.
"Secretariat" is now a "regular" in Studio 56, appearing from the stall door at stage left (in broad daylight, while everything else behind the set is supposed to be at "night"!).
gosh I wanted this to go on forever. Just hearing their friendly and hilarious banter. I was disappointed when I reached the end =( just like I will be when Craig leaves late late
Wow! This was *before* the start of House and *before* the start of Craig's tenure as the permanent LLS host! I love how they *both* are already being real instead of toeing the corporate line. This is the birth of ass mode! (or maybe arse mode?) Thanks for uploading!
We can see the pessimistic outlook of Hugh from here. He gradually gained confidence from the success of House. It has been proven from his later interviews and he has confirmed that too. Although he was already a credible actor and comedian in UK, this show really does mean somethings to him. Good to see a such talented men finally gains his well-deserved confidence. And for me personally I am so touched by such growth. PS Seems that Craig and Hugh know each others for a long time right?
@Matthew075 You're right. David Duchovny was the first guest when he actually became the permanent host. He and several other people who were competing for the job did try-out shows first. This show was one of those, as Melissa133012 wrote above.
Yes we do. We work harder and longer for less pay and benefits (particularly in lower paying jobs), yet still strive to be more extravagant. A double edged sword to walk.
If I remember correct, his very 1st Late Late as a host was on Columbus Day 2004. I remember the joke about Italian people being proud of Columbus and native indians finally knowing where they are from. Something like that, anyone remember? On July 22/2009 I was happy member of the live audience.
It's so funny how well known he was before the show house yet almost no one in America had ever heard of him before that show and didn't even know he was British😅😅😅😅😅😅 I still see comments, just as of today in fact, that said they didn't know he was British😂😂😂😂😂
That was his first show as official/full-time host on January 3, 2005. However, this episode with Hugh Laurie was as a guest host on November 10, 2004, as mentioned in the description under the video, during the 4 month span of time between Kilborn's departure and the start of Ferguson's tenure.
He was really the best late night interviewer. The fact that he's so comfortable during his first show is quite an achievement.
+Thing Thang Craig actually cheated a bit, he'd been friends with Hugh Laurie for years. That's why he was so comfortable with him, lol.
glenrkat
Yet Jimmy Fallon interviews Tina Fey and is still as stiff as a board :P
Presumably, because some other part of him is "stiff as a board...."
Naaahhh.
Blair Brown i mean it is Tina Fey.
I gather they didn't get along so well at SNL.

Lytrigian -- True, although I knew him well from Jeeves and Wooster.
Lytrigian Thanks to you tube, I completely LOVE Craig.
The Drew Carey Show was a pretty big hit, but Ferguson's character was only really a supporting role, appearing considerably less than the other leads.
Even more funny is that Hugh came to kick off the show he is most well known for and Craig kicked off his most well known show

craig ferguson is a natural... he was smooth as butter since day 1. i'm impressed.
"I expect to be fired any day now"

Super easy... Barely an inconvenience.
@@PratyakshAgarwalForReal SCREEN RANT!
He was tuckered out by the end
Hugh Laurie should have been Ferguson's last guest.
Or Kirsten Bell.
Kristen Bell and Jeff Goldblum
his first guest once he officially got the show was David Ducovny (spelled wrong).

the best actor in the world on the best talk show on the first edition. perfect :)
This is right before House aired. Interesting to see him all the way back then, basically wearing his outfit from the character.
Yeah, clothes... 😊

He's a great blues musician as well.
Craig's style has changed so much. This was more like an interrogation, rather than a conversation (which is what he has with his guests now).
These guys have a great chemistry.
Craig started out brilliantly and kept that pace and even improved the show at the end, with his two side kicks. He became my favorite talk show host, with Conan being second.

Far from it, you can tell Ferguson did not like the accent reference by Laurie at all, but came out of it with an abruptly interrupted nervous laugh.
Craig seems so conservative in this show! So happy he found his niche and just came out and became his true crazy self!
Two of my all time favorite personalities having a chat. Both, absolutely brilliant performers! Imagine a show starring Laurie and Ferguson....that would be seriously amazing!
And add peter capaldi to the mix :D it would be great !
A Bit Of Fry & Laurie & Ferguson & Capaldi. I'd watch it.
YES! And they all are good with music. That could be one helluva show. 💜💜
I love how Hugh is like "I haven't unpacked my suitcase... I expect to be fired any week," and the show ran for YEARS!! Not to mention, it's WEIRD seeing what the set looked like back then compared to when I started watching. Nice they finally got a budget for the show!!

He looks like he just left the set of house
"They are hoping the show dying on its ass" 😂😂 little did everyone know the show will become such a massive success for Hugh 🎉
Speaks truth
Little do they both know that they're both about to become very successful
Hugh was already very successful at this stage.
as they established at the very start, oddly
Not to sound arrogant,but there's successful--and there's American successful.
Blair Brown That does sound a bit arrogant though, that's like saying you cannot reach true success unless you become successful in America, and that simply is not true.

Great first show guest. HL's work with Black Adder is a classic.
Oh Brah-veaux!
wow, Craig's accent was quite a bit stronger back then
Chubachus No, I think his American accent got much stronger throughout the years.
Chubachus WOW I was thinking the same EXACT thing! ............
Wait no I wasn’t. I’m not a total douchebag! 🤣😂🤣👊🏻🇺🇸🤜🏻
david ϟϟ You still are.
He does such an amazing American accent. Such a great actor.

Wow this was only 2004, but it looks like it was filmed in 1972... The quality is shocking.
The difference between VHS and DVR.
I actually prefer this sort of quality above HD on talkshows where images aren't a big focus, but the actual talking is.
svanrie Only problem is usually low picture quality comes with low sound quality.
Márk Dávid Lovas Indeed. But I'm getting tired with all the HD series which many times focus on graphical quality rather than the scripting.
hahaha looks like a late 80's scene
it´s obvious that God wanted him to get the job.. you simply can´t have a greater guest than Hugh Laurie.. they are a perfect fit..
Hugh is also an accomplished novelist. He wrote a great book called "The Gun Seller." Highly recommended reading.
He's truly a polymath.
And a great musician. Got to see him on tour in 2014. Met 1 of the most humble people in the biz
God its only been 2 days since the show ended and I miss it already ! My monday - friday nights are gonna suck now I know craig wanted to move on and do new things but what about me what the fuck am I going to do now ? Thanks CRAIG !
I think he bid you....ADIEU!
I feel the same way.
Fred Bohm my nights will never be the same again ! Plus this new guy looks like a stick in the mud .

I know how you feel. My wife is English so I have seen James Cordon in some funny movies. How he does as a late night host is another story. I will at least give him a chance and watch for a while. One never knows. Here's hoping.
I couldn't agree more~! Now it's just another banal late night talk show :-(
It was like a ritual, going to sleep after watching Craig. Now my nights are gonna suck :o
You can just watch him on RUclips
Wow, this really highlights how crazy he got later. I call it, "progress"
his first shows in 2005 were a bit crazy. he auditioned to play Elvis and did some other wild stuff.
YES, it was his "Audition" in November 2004 before he officially got the gig, which he started almost 2 months later in January 2005.
You can tell Craig is very nervous, but he gets comfortable half way through and then near the end when he asks about "recreation" he tenses up again. I wonder if that's the producer's influence ("cut to a commercial") that's creating the slight tension.
I love seeing them both before they were big in America. Thanks from Scotland.
1:43 The moment Hugh realised this ain't your typical late night show.
Thx for uploading this recording.
To see two of my favorite people together is always a joy!
omg I had no idea hugh laurie was the first guest
Gregory Papadopoulos so he was...your just being a nitpicky nob
First You gotto start reading Craig's books to understand his shows and style . Pure genius
Love both of these men! So intelligent and hilarious. I first started watching Hugh Laurie in House. Then I saw him on a talk show where he was speaking with his original accent and it shocked me!
I hope we see Craig Ferguson and Hugh Laurie back again. Talented. Directors and writers should cast and imagine parts for both.
These two have great chemistry
My Gosh Hugh Laurie is so hot, I’ve seen each episode of House 8 times each in fact season 8 episode 2 or 3 my friend plays his masseuse and she got to touch him. I don’t care how old he is he will always be on my freebie list
And he's also quite humble about his "fame". Got to meet him in 2014 n he was just so astonished n amazed how many ppl were waiting to meet him
I miss his show it was so much fun. It was so off the wall. Geoff and the horse and the rabbit.
He looked at his notes... He looked at his notes?! What the hell!
I know it's the first episode ever but WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR CRAIG?!
Joanna Alhazred He wasn't "our Craig" yet

He seems bothered by it
House was a great show and should've lasted longer. Definitely top 5 favorites.
Now that Craig's leaving :((((( I really hope that he continues the tradition started by Conan and Leno of having his very first guest be his very last, and bring back Hugh Laurie for the last show. I think Kristen Bell needs to make an appearance too, but Hugh deserves to be the final guest!

It should be a bit of Fry and Laurie.
Er, I guess Jay Leno's cool too....
Sad. Why is he leaving?
The last guest should be Tom Cruise :D

thank you so much for this, its great to see how the greatest tv show ever started
Quickly!
There's no time!
QUICKLY!
their chemistry never changed. LOL. Fab to see the humble beginnings of House and LLS with CF.
This was before he took over the show on January the 3rd, of 2005!
I think this and the Mark Harmon interview were what paved the way for him to become the permanent host.
I watched this one when it aired. It was nearly half over before I realized Craig Killborne was MIA
its fantastic. i am a huge fan of both Craig and Hugh. also Craig looks like dracula here :D
That's awesome. House and Craig Ferguson premiered at the same time.
His accent was thicker. God I miss him. :(
Oddly, I couldn't even tell. I guess that's what happens when you listen to someone for over a decade. 💜
Really weird to see Craig introduce a guest without saying some made up jokey shit about them lol
Craig waa so comfortable with hosting from day one.
We can see the pessimistic outlook of Hugh from here. He gradually gained confidence from the success of House. It has been proven from his later interviews and he has confirmed that too.
Although he was already a credible actor and comedian in UK, this show really does mean somethings to him. Good to see a such talented men finally gains his well-deserved confidence. And for me personally I am so touched by such growth.

They did, they did some comedy stuff together before..
humble beginnings, its difficult to remember a time before House and Craig Ferguson hosting on late night
Rural juror is tough, too.

The guest host episode!

Since Carson, Cavett and Griffin!
+Obsessive Fan, thank you!
I miss Craig's show, and now I'm able to witness the very beginning of 'the greatest late night talk show'.
It’s too bad he went on for only 10 years.
So Craig Ferguson is taking over for Craig Kilborn after his last show was August 2004.
Its like watching matches just before they light

That first set though :o

>"Our next guest"
omg, I've waited for this episode for 4 years!! ^^
this is the first time I watch this interview and House has already ended :(
I didn't see this before but I imagine this was the first and last show that Craig, my fellow countryman, insulted my church.
i miss watching craig before I go to sleep
and it ended up being an awesome show
i didn't realize Hugh Laurie was so hilarious.
Ferguson's first guest when he tested the show is Jami Gertz.
yea, Thanks I pretty much thought that and reply to it on their channel.
The show is way better now.
How he survived that first year I will never figure out. And thank god he did.
Natural ever since first show
Why does Hugh Laurie always look like he just got out of bed??
Its hot dont complain
🛏️💬"Yea, that's a great question"
Little did they know, those 2 would be very famous
I think craig does look a bit nervous.
