Yes, I’m really the voice and operator of Geoff Peterson (and Sandra the Rhino 2.0, all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, the entire Shy Fellas band and more!). And this is REALLY my YT Channel! Pretty much every Geoff and Craig interaction was unscripted, and this moment is no exception. For several nights in a row Craig was busting Geoff's balls (pun intended) about not having lips to blow a harmonica. So during this segment, while puppeteering/voicing Geoff, I'm also flagging down our props guy, Eddie, to run and get a harmonica. When Craig hears the harmonica sound coming from Geoff's mouth, his look of surprise is genuine. Here are some of the other characters I played on the show: ruclips.net/video/0Pr_aMAqlLg/видео.html
Reminiscing the show. I was a Letterman fan but switched over to Craig. You guys were the best kept secret for the longest time. It ended too soon but it was a damn good run.
I miss you guys so much in Late Night. My favorite clips are when y'all would get into a squabble. Thank you for all the laughter as Geoff Petersen. Stop by Flappers or The ice House once in a while please.
Hey I used to watch your og lets play channel with your pal, one of the first channels I actually subbed to. Fancy crossin' paths with you all these years later.
I love how you can tell they're both having the times of their lives. No soulless acting or awkward moments, just 2 dudes having an absolute blast on live TV
@@checkoutmyyoutubepage hey snowflake, I literally just saw a clip about 15 years ago of Craig saying he should be going after the politicians and trumps of the world, so even Craig doesn’t agree with you
Many people think Geoff’s mouth movements were voice activated, but in reality I had to flip a switch every time to make the mouth move. Every. Single. Word. There were also separate controls for his right and left arms, head swivel and blinking eye lights. Someone asked recently if the harmonica was pre-recorded. No, that was a real harmonica. All the instruments I used were real. So I learned to move quickly between the remote control and whatever instrument was being used in the moment. All while making stuff up! “Were the phone calls pre-recorded?” Again, cannot emphasize this enough: it was all made up on the spot, in the moment. I never knew what voice I would do until the moment Craig said, “I wonder who might call now…” 📞 While all of this is going on, I’m also using a second remote control to operate and voice Sandra the Rhino on occasion. Plus, I’m voicing all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, every member of the Shy Fellas band, and Secretariat’s inner voice. Whew! 💀 -JRT Learn all about it here: ruclips.net/video/MVjGMvfeV9o/видео.html
Josh, you and Craig were improv comedy gold! My word, man, the chemistry, the wit, the rapid-fire responses, so underappreciated by the masses who don't matter and adored by those of us who understand that you made Geoff the penultimate expression of Craig's quest to deconstruct the dead art form of the late night talk show. You have such a gift, expressed so well which continues to bring so many laughs and smiles. Thank you.
I honestly don’t know if I come back to any one clip of ANY show more often than this one. It instantly brightens my day. I would give anything to witness a Craig and Geoff reunion. You two are an all time comedy duo. Thank you JRT
Look up the compilation video of Ricky Gervais on the show. The two of them are so damn funny together, I have no idea how this show wasn't the best rated late night program on TV.
This has to be one of the best pure unplanned comedy moments of all time. Just seeing Craig absolutely lose it with laughter and hearing Josh genuinely laughing as they ad libbed this is just absolute gold.
This is something that's just perfect, from beat to beat. It was a risk - Craig doubtless wanted someone to bounce off of, but finding a comedian who can bounce that naturally is rare, and finding someone like Mr. Thompson who can ad-lib and match Craig's humor perfectly must've been like finding a big diamond in a Safeway parking lot. This show was the funniest thing on TV for about 4 or 5 years.
I don't know why, but every time Craig would ask Geoff to do something like pick up a piece of paper or read an email, Geoff/Josh's response "How dare you" would get me every time. They had amazing chemistry, and I really consider Craig and Geoff to be one of the great comedy duos. Oh alright, Secretariat was pretty cool too.
@@mightymartianca It's funny because the guys who played Secretariat were the ones who brought Geoff from Grant Imahara's workshop, as seen in an earlier video.
This was one of the best 5 minutes of back-and-forth in late night show history, I swear. The timing, the callbacks, the unexpected elements... Just the chemistry that made this work... which is so great because Craig is essentially talking to a piece of plastic and metal that's killing him with laughter. I watched this clip dozens of times in years past, glad I found it again. Huge respect for your talent and wit, Josh, from a fellow Clevelander!
Fellow Clevelander here as well! I have watched this video on RUclips more than any other, and it never fails to make me laugh. My favorite part is at 3:03 when Geoff barely gets out, “we throw beads we go swimming“ the second time, and Craig loses it - he’s all the way over to the left laying on his desk laughing uncontrollably and trying not to. The whole thing reminds me of study hall in high school, And how we were constantly trying to not be heard when we were laughing so hard.
The late late show with Craig Ferguson was the talk show equivalent of that feeling when you're awake Way too late with your friend and you're so tired that everything makes you laugh
I love how he sets up the harmonica bit with “next you’re gonna make me play the harmonica” meaning he literally can’t. Later he then plays the harmonica unprompted
@@thejrtshow well played sir, well played. When you can crease a comedian like that on improve, that's talent. If he could've held a straight face on that, you know he's flat out psychotic! I've never watched this, it's just a random suggestion but I absolutely cackled like a fool.
According to the pinned comment, Craig had been taunting Geoff about his inability to play a harmonica for days now. Geoff having one was a total surprise.
I remember watching the Craig Ferguson show as a kid. There were very rare occasions when I'd be up late and my mom would let me watch a few minutes before shoeing me out of the room when the humor got too "grown up". Geoff was one of our favorite parts of the show, and we still quote him to this day. Such an iconic character, thank you for giving him life :D
Fam, my big brother put me on to the show when I was in middle school and almost all jokes I made for years was influenced by this show. Sorry to all my teachers and classmates about all the sex jokes before my balls dropped 😂😂😂😂
Your rapport with him, and your ability to be hilarious through an animatronic are both something to behold. Thank you for the many laughs you and Craig gave so many.
In 2012, I was 8 months pregnant and watched this video. I laughed so hard my water broke and I gave birth later that day. 100% true story. I have a healthy 5-year-old boy!
I love Conan, but his show is so much more sterilized and "controlled" in comparison. I always watch his "Conan scraps" and his interactions with Andy is just awesome...they are much funnier off the air than when everything is scripted! Craig perfected that approach here...you KNOW this was unscripted.

I’m so glad this randomly popped up in my recommended. This was Late Night TV at it’s peak. You guys were such a great duo and Craig is a seriously underrated former talk show host
My daughter & I watched this when it originally aired. Everyone was laughing so hard that we were all crying - Me, my daughter, Craig, Geoff, the audience, & there's no way the rest of the production crew weren't laughing their asses off at this, esp. being in the same room w/ this joyful madness! I even burned this clip to a comedy cd I made. Thank you to all of you who were responsible for bringing us one of the best late night shows ever, & for giving me & my daughter yet another reason for Mom-daughter time & memories that'll last a lifetime!
These guys were in such a groove at the end. It was pure organic comedy, pulled out of thin air on any topic or pretense. None of the current late night stiffs, with their armies of gag writers, lame props, and cheap laughs can touch it .
The fact that Geoff arrived on the late late show truly made it 10 times better, when Craig was kind of burning out and you, Mr Thompson, definitely helped him out, making him laugh and bringing more fun. Your touch is unique, when I am watching this bit, I can tell improvising and laughing while having control over one's voice is no piece of cake. And I was so upset when Russel Brand poured water on Geoff, I mean, man this robot is a peace of art in itself, have some respect
Josh, you turned a wonderful segment into comedy gold with that final harmonica response. It was the epitome of how this show used running jokes and absurdist logic, and it was brilliant.
Oh Josh is a fucking genius. Always has been. Pure comic genius. I honestly am disturbed knowing they're not on latenight anymore. I'm not sure why. It kind of scares me off TV when tumblr fan fic authors get more play over real talent. :/
@@turonlumpia Believe it or not, a switch on the remote control unit was used to move Geoff’s mouth. So every. Time. That. I. Spoke. I. Had. To. Move. The. Switch. In. Time. To. My. Own. Mouth.
This, to me, is the single greatest segment in talkshow history. Two professionals playing comedy tennis and it's a beautiful rally that ends in tears. It should be studied and shown to students of comedy across the world. After watching at at least 30 times now over the past 6 years, it never fails to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for the joy you bring. 🎉❤
JRT was a great sidekick to Craig, and actually there are many times he was funnier than Craig and Craig was laughing hysterically. i love and miss both of you guys. Edit: Thx for the likes. It shows how many people actually still watching and missing too
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 ok, so, here’s my question: Where in the US is the expression “balls” used? I always thought it was just a Bobby from Supernatural thing. Sorry to saddle you with this but if you have an moment and know the answer I’d appreciate it. Cheers
Josh, I went on a crazy binge and watched every episode of this show. Prior to Geoff, Craig was one of the greatest talk show hosts in history. After Geoff arrived, Craig became THE greatest talk show host in history. Not even close. Thank you for your role in making that happen.
It's going to be pretty grim; to witness the 'Bravestarr' Dark Child, to get crucified by Pastor Sterling. Dark Child gets crucified, by when he gets both of his eyes put out, with a dual enchanted dagger.

Feels like a lifetime ago, I was living in a house the size of a one bedroom apartment's living room, without cable/WiFi, phone only made limited calls/texts, no job and starting a long journey of alcoholism. The only time I would forget about all the pain I had in my life was this little 1 hour long block at 1230am, the show would barely seep through one of my 3 mostly static channels, I looked forward to it all day and was sad after it ended. Thank you guys so much, I might not have made it to today without it.
I watch this clip every time a day goes to hell or when my BPD kicks into overdrive. So I've seen it more than a few times. That said: honest joy, when found, is one of humanity's greatest gifts. This clip is a grand representation of that fact. JRT, wherever you are, mate, I hope you're well. Craig, also. It must be nice to know your career already entails a legacy that both heals and helps in its own fabulously ironic way.
I know its a been a while since Craig walked away from late night and since this video was first posted. But this always reminds me of one thing not enough of us are having - a great cleansing, tear-filled laugh that incapacitates us for just a few minutes. This whole country needs that right now.
No truer words have been spoken especially for 2018. Sad to say we might go into WWIII soon with such a failure as our president right now. Or at least that's where I see the U.S. is going.
John Gault It is the president who chooses who goes into his/her office if they are failing it is the presidents responsibility to correct them. As citizens of the United States of America we are here to criticize their work as the President and his/her office. But we should also work hard for a brighter future. Also have a good laugh.
I've watched this video so many times and had no idea you were the voice actor. Amazing work! That show was so genuine, nothing has come close to replacing it.
I'd love to tell Mr. Ferguson and his staff how much joy they've brought to the world. Seriously. A late-night surreal fever-dream romp like nothing else on television, ever.This particular bit makes be cry with joy every...single...time. Welcome to my place in New Hampshire! Ferguson's Late Late Show with Geoff and Secretariat will be very sorely missed by this fan.
I have watched this dozens of times. I could watch this a million times and I would still start crying from laughter. Whenever I need a pick me up, this is my go to.
Sorry but Conan is I miss this show so much but he is the king no question but close and I have no idea how people enjoy most late night television these days it’s so unfunny and just trump this and the celebrity guests don’t make it entertaining the problem with modern American comedy is they think endless pop culture references and making fun of politics makes it funny I can’t find a entertaining show anymore
My mom was very protective about what I could watch as a kid but she was a huge Craig Ferguson fan and would sometimes let me stay up and watch the show with her. I have so many memories of being 8 or so years old and wandering into the living room way past my bedtime to watch this and laugh with my mom. Thanks for the happy memories
I am from Spain and I've recently discovered Craig and you. Man, what energy, what chemistry... You guys have excellent improv skills. thanks for this!!
Gwen, I too lost my mother recently a couple of months ago to pancreatic cancer, and I know how you feel. That cathartic laughter is a healing force, helping you to feel human again and enjoy life. Hang in there, and know that you are not alone.
The only late night show I ever watched as it was airing. Man, I miss you guys. Why he left this and kept on with the game show is beyond me. Great stuff Mr. Thompson.
The past is the past. But it's right here too. That's the joy of video media, especially digital stuff. 'Will happen, happening, happened.' to quote BMO.
And that was what made it so magnificently and preposterously hilarious. What’s funnier than two intelligent, creative, and really funny people playing off each other’s ridiculous and random remarks and having as much fun doing that as we had watching them do it?
THIS is what I love about Craig and Geoff. You guys were so great and I need to thank you for all the laughs. Back then and now, and for all the future laughs to come, thank you so much. You're truly appreciated and I'm grateful for these gems.
I just discovered this clip this week while I’m home recovering from a procedure. I’m upset it’s taken me this long to find, but boy am I glad I found it when I did. I must watch this multiple times a day and the laughter helps me forget about the pain. Thank you so much for this!

Josh, you turned a wonderful segment into comedy gold with that final harmonica response. It was the epitome of how this show used running jokes and absurdist logic, and it was brilliant.
absolutely agree.
Oh Josh is a fucking genius. Always has been. Pure comic genius. I honestly am disturbed knowing they're not on latenight anymore. I'm not sure why. It kind of scares me off TV when tumblr fan fic authors get more play over real talent. :/
Throwing beads at people in Scotland is rib shatteringly hysterical!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think "Balls" is the best comeback line ever. xD
Balls.
@@nikkan3810 Balls. I miss this show.
B A L L S
@Julian Guardiola dont forget the harmonica reply that sent us including Craig over the edge at the end of the clip lol
It is though
I love the fact that when JRT laughs when controlling Geoff, he's laughing *in character*. That's some discipline right there.
True!
Yeah, that was *really* impressive. I kept waiting for him to break, but he never did.
I think that Geoff's mouth is controlled by the microphone that is attached to JRT so they are sync everytime he speak.
He's still laughing though
@@turonlumpia Believe it or not, a switch on the remote control unit was used to move Geoff’s mouth. So every. Time. That. I. Spoke. I. Had. To. Move. The. Switch. In. Time. To. My. Own. Mouth.
literally every decision you made was perfect. The timing was flawless.
that entire segment made me smile so hard my jaw hurts.
i miss this show, i miss Craig and i miss you Geoff.
This is comedy GOLD. The genuine look of surprise when Jeff plays the harmonica is just priceless.
I miss this show so much :c
James Garza me to I miss Geoff
James Garza me, too. How do we draft Craig back to the late night gig?
They took him off and put fat beta males to replace him. He was too politically incorrect for the sensitive liberal outlets!
wiz6k actually he is the one who didn't want ro continue, they offered him 10 million but he refused
@@mansourr at least he didn't sell out.
This, to me, is the single greatest segment in talkshow history.
Two professionals playing comedy tennis and it's a beautiful rally that ends in tears.
It should be studied and shown to students of comedy across the world.
After watching at at least 30 times now over the past 6 years, it never fails to make me laugh out loud.
Thank you for the joy you bring.
🎉❤
JRT was a great sidekick to Craig, and actually there are many times he was funnier than Craig and Craig was laughing hysterically. i love and miss both of you guys.
Edit: Thx for the likes. It shows how many people actually still watching and missing too
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you!
"Balls."
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 ok, so, here’s my question: Where in the US is the expression “balls” used? I always thought it was just a Bobby from Supernatural thing. Sorry to saddle you with this but if you have an moment and know the answer I’d appreciate it. Cheers
@@richardgrier8968 the only place I know of that said that is the Craig Ferguson show.
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 hey thanks for the reply. I only knew it from Supernatural where it was this running joke.
This was the night when Josh Robert Thompson went from being a sidekick to Craig's equal. He completely broke Craig and IT. IS. GLORIOUS.
Careful, Icarus

I watch this video at least once a year.
do you throw beads and go swimming while your watching it?
Oh my.
Nope. No Exorcist demons here. Go away.
Oh at least once a year ???? U should COME OVER !!!!
How dare you.
Thank you both for the years of laughter
RIP Grant Imahara, creator and "father" of Geoff The Robot.
Thanks for sharing I didn't know so sad news he will be missed RIP :(
God that’s a change of pace from crying from laughter to crying from pain. Rest In Paradise, Grant
I hope Mr. Imahara knew the scope of his contribution to late night TV history and the joy that it brought.
I forgot he died. I don't remember how he died.
@@MaximumCarne brain aneurysm
The man laughs in Geoff's voice. Give him credit for that.
Thank you!
God I actually remember watching this. "oh hell yeah I got a place there" always made me laugh. This was my favorite late night show ever
I am like 420.
I shall celebrate accordingly.
Josh, I went on a crazy binge and watched every episode of this show. Prior to Geoff, Craig was one of the greatest talk show hosts in history. After Geoff arrived, Craig became THE greatest talk show host in history. Not even close. Thank you for your role in making that happen.
I have been saying “For legal reasons, no” for years because of this
For anecdotal reasons... yeah!
@DemonRealm C.I.A. suck
@@RoboBitch42 LOLOL
@@RoboBitch42 for legal reasons, no.
I use "CBS cares"
"do you wanna just read this yourself?" "How dare you!" LMAO
Next you'll want me to play the harmonica!
It's going to be pretty grim; to witness the 'Bravestarr' Dark Child, to get crucified by Pastor Sterling. Dark Child gets crucified, by when he gets both of his eyes put out, with a dual enchanted dagger.
Craig Ferguson had revamped my childhood memory, whenever he plays the harmonica. No kidding about this.
In the future; there's not going to be another me, once Arnold Schwarzenegger, discourages every American white man from having sex with their Japanese wives.
For Craig Ferguson; he jumped the conclusions, on sibling rivalry. That's what.
Geoff Peterson is a legend 🖤 I miss this show so much
You can hear the people in the crowd sobbing with laughter. This video is still one of my favorite segments of all time.
@@Armageist The joke is the hilarity of Mardi Gras and skinny dipping in the climate of Scotland. A bit like a Siberian luau.
Can someone explain this to m I don't get it
@@ttimetotroll 🦞 yeah cuz ur a lobster
One of the most underrated comedic duo’s of all time.
3:35 The face Craig makes is the best. A mix between confused and happy
Craig was the only late night host that could make me laugh my ass off every episode haha. Geoff and the horse were just the icing on the cake.
Robo-hoss...
I've been coming back to this clip for 11 years now. I just never get tired of it.
The way Geoff raises his arms is really the best thing ever
: HEEEeeeeEEEYYYYY! 💀
God the show should have forever. Those two were absolutely incredible together and I'd still watch him over anything else on late-night to this day.
Agree, Only thing else that is tolerable, is when Conan interracts with his staff.
@@tracykingston9668 facts
Corden was auch a painful painful downgrade
Feels like a lifetime ago, I was living in a house the size of a one bedroom apartment's living room, without cable/WiFi, phone only made limited calls/texts, no job and starting a long journey of alcoholism. The only time I would forget about all the pain I had in my life was this little 1 hour long block at 1230am, the show would barely seep through one of my 3 mostly static channels, I looked forward to it all day and was sad after it ended. Thank you guys so much, I might not have made it to today without it.
I hope you are doing well now!!
@@jkjives1786 much better, thank you.
I watch this clip every time a day goes to hell or when my BPD kicks into overdrive. So I've seen it more than a few times. That said: honest joy, when found, is one of humanity's greatest gifts. This clip is a grand representation of that fact. JRT, wherever you are, mate, I hope you're well. Craig, also. It must be nice to know your career already entails a legacy that both heals and helps in its own fabulously ironic way.
I’m right here!!!!
@@thejrtshow wax wings, my friend :)
I love the bemused look on Craig's face after Geoff screams the harmonica.
Just this sentence alone is glorious.
This feels good, feel like these two really love what they do so much that even while on the job it’s just them
Man, this just unlocked a core memory from my childhood. Thanks for making my Friday nights amazing in a time that wasn't so great in life ❤️
I know its a been a while since Craig walked away from late night and since this video was first posted. But this always reminds me of one thing not enough of us are having - a great cleansing, tear-filled laugh that incapacitates us for just a few minutes. This whole country needs that right now.
You are so correct! I haven't felt properly energized since the show ended. If it weren't for these clips I'd be a zombie.
Just had one watching this.
No truer words have been spoken especially for 2018. Sad to say we might go into WWIII soon with such a failure as our president right now. Or at least that's where I see the U.S. is going.
John Gault It is the president who chooses who goes into his/her office if they are failing it is the presidents responsibility to correct them. As citizens of the United States of America we are here to criticize their work as the President and his/her office. But we should also work hard for a brighter future. Also have a good laugh.
You should come out to my place in New Hampshire!
I've watched this video so many times and had no idea you were the voice actor. Amazing work! That show was so genuine, nothing has come close to replacing it.
Thank you. 🙏🏼 ruclips.net/video/qAcB20aBATo/видео.html
I'd love to tell Mr. Ferguson and his staff how much joy they've brought to the world. Seriously. A late-night surreal fever-dream romp like nothing else on television, ever.This particular bit makes be cry with joy every...single...time. Welcome to my place in New Hampshire!
Ferguson's Late Late Show with Geoff and Secretariat will be very sorely missed by this fan.
I could not agree more! They were lightening in a bottle and brought joyous endings to many bad days!
I stumble across and watch this probably once a year .. and it still makes me smile so hard that my face hurts lol
Oh .. your face hurts? Well, it's killin' me!
haha! .. beat y'all to it!
I have watched this dozens of times. I could watch this a million times and I would still start crying from laughter. Whenever I need a pick me up, this is my go to.
3:48 has entered my lexicon just the way Geoff says it, thanks to this clip.
I almost said nothing when the camera cut to Geoff, but I’m glad that I did.
@@thejrtshow It's those improv moments that sometimes end up being the best parts.
@@thejrtshow Did you improvise the harmonica when Craig asked you about the "place in New Hampshire"?
The best thing about this is it was literally the first time that Josh had ever voiced Geoff live. Before, it was all pre-recorded phrases.
funny seeing you here
@@Fuchsia_tude Ayyyyyy! I adored Craig, funniest host ever on TV, and him and Josh together were a magic duo.
My cousin, uncle, and I used to watch Mr Ferguson almost every single night. Still one of the all time greatest!!! ❤️
How people like Jimmy Fallon's show is beyond me. His laughs are fake and he just isn't funny. Craig will always be the king of late night shows.
You are so right, today's late nite tv is total mediocrity!
Conan 😎
I cant stand jimmy fallon. Never liked him on SNL either. He seems to try too hard to be funny, which he's not.
Sorry but Conan is I miss this show so much but he is the king no question but close and I have no idea how people enjoy most late night television these days it’s so unfunny and just trump this and the celebrity guests don’t make it entertaining the problem with modern American comedy is they think endless pop culture references and making fun of politics makes it funny I can’t find a entertaining show anymore
@@natew48 same!
My mom was very protective about what I could watch as a kid but she was a huge Craig Ferguson fan and would sometimes let me stay up and watch the show with her. I have so many memories of being 8 or so years old and wandering into the living room way past my bedtime to watch this and laugh with my mom. Thanks for the happy memories
This is hands down the best unscripted moment of late night talk shows.
I've seen this clip a hundred times. STILL funny as hell
I love Craig's look of shock when you start playing the harmonica. That was an awesome moment.
I am from Spain and I've recently discovered Craig and you. Man, what energy, what chemistry... You guys have excellent improv skills. thanks for this!!
I recently lost someone I loved. The grief has been unbearable. I haven't laughed since I heard the news. I burst out laughing at this video. ❤️✌️
Gwen, I’m so sorry. when i am sad, i too binge Craig videos & it makes me so happy every time ! wishing you all the best through this X 💕
I m sorry for your loss Gwen...i along with mom would watch this show 2013 when dad passed. She'd laugh so hard. 😃
Same.
Condolences 🌹
Gwen, I too lost my mother recently a couple of months ago to pancreatic cancer, and I know how you feel. That cathartic laughter is a healing force, helping you to feel human again and enjoy life. Hang in there, and know that you are not alone.
The only late night show I ever watched as it was airing. Man, I miss you guys. Why he left this and kept on with the game show is beyond me. Great stuff Mr. Thompson.
These two helped me through depression. Thank you for being who you are!
I watch this when I'm depressed, so I've watched it dozens of times already. It always helps.
When the world sucks and you’re stuck inside social distancing, I can always count on Geoff and Craig to make me laugh. Thanks and miss you guys!
Im watching this at 6:30am in Australia, Melbourne and I still always come back to this segment, especially how Geoff keeps his Robotic laugh 🤣
I know two things: this is comedy gold and I think I speak for most of us when I say a piece of TV history died. Thank you gentlemen.
The past is the past. But it's right here too. That's the joy of video media, especially digital stuff. 'Will happen, happening, happened.' to quote BMO.
You and Craig make my face hurt from laughing so much! GOD, I miss you guys!!
I miss this show so much. so underrated. Thanks Geoff/Josh. You cracked me up many times. Very infectious laugh too
wouldnt matter how highly rated this show could be, it would still be underrated
Two great talents riffing produced a moment of perfection that a room full of geniuses couldn't write in a million years. Long live live television.
I'm convinced that every night majority of this show was done on the fly.
Rehearsing was for wussies lol
yes indeed, that's why he rips up his interview cards when his guests appear. He prefers actual conversations and reactions...and of course improv.
The later seasons were. The earlier ones obviously had some measure of planning.
And that was what made it so magnificently and preposterously hilarious. What’s funnier than two intelligent, creative, and really funny people playing off each other’s ridiculous and random remarks and having as much fun doing that as we had watching them do it?
That's because it was.
Craig Ferguson and Geoff Peterson shall always be the most hilarious comedy duo in my lifetime lmao
It's making me happy that Josh is replying to so many of these comments 10 years later.
This still tickles me after so many re-watches. The chemistry was great.
This is TV history right there. HILARIOUS.
Right up there with Reverend Jim asking what a yellow light means on Taxi and Ed Aames throwing that tomahawk on The Tonight Show.
THIS is what I love about Craig and Geoff. You guys were so great and I need to thank you for all the laughs. Back then and now, and for all the future laughs to come, thank you so much. You're truly appreciated and I'm grateful for these gems.
I remember watching this when it aired, nearly pissed my pants. It still makes me laugh. What a great show
I just discovered this clip this week while I’m home recovering from a procedure. I’m upset it’s taken me this long to find, but boy am I glad I found it when I did. I must watch this multiple times a day and the laughter helps me forget about the pain. Thank you so much for this!
this show was the most glorious train wreck. i loved every minute of it.
My only regret is that my 👍 took this off a nice 69.
my family always thought you were always the funniest part of the show. you would just come up with these great bits and once craig strarted laughing it was over lol
Josh - many years & countless re-watches later... this still cracks me up every single time. Thank you. Also, CBS Cares.
This clip has made a few million cry with laughter and I am definitely one who did. Best ever
The intro doesn't mention who is operating Craig Ferguson.
Geoff, Geoff is.
Craig has been operated for many years by Sean Connery in the Bahamas
@@A-small-amount-of-peas Even before focusing on the name my brain read the entire sentence in Craigs Sean Connery voice.
Señor Griffin if you’re very quiet, you can hear him in his garden lol.
Lol, ..... good one lol. He was one of my favorites , I was actually disappointed to see the show ending.
