he said goodbye to both of his parents on tv. he honored them dearly. RIP
This is why I love Craig. No other host, or tv personality speaks with this much heart and sincerity.
He's said in interviews that when he didn't care if he lost his job or whatever over this. He said I can't go on and do a fake happy show. He just had to be honest.
They are ALL fake Hollywood morons...every one of them.
"I punched my chest and I thew him my heart" made a 23-year old guy over here weep for 10-15 minutes. Both my parents are alive and healthy right now, thank god, but that made me think about all the memories I have ever had with my dad especially and how MUCH I love him... this is making me cry again...
Heart; nothing but heart from this man. That's what stands him apart from all the other late night hosts.
Indeed!!
What a class act this man is
he would be proud Craig...
I did not really expect that, but by the end I was in tears
Me, too!
Television execs: ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO TELL THEIR STORIES. This means more to me than the countless hours of vacuous programming you spew out day after day. I will carry this moment in my heart and mind for decades, and I mean that. In all likelihood I will come back to this video again in a year and it will make me cry all over again. As much as one cannot quantify value in experiences like this, if TV consisted of these kinds of moments, I would spend half of my wage to be a part of it.
9 years after this comment we can look back and say that this one monologue was more valuable than the last decade of the shite James Cordon pushed out combined
@@arseface2k934 Hear, hear!
I punched my chest and threw him my heart......beautiful.
So impressed with his eulogies to his father and mother. Well said...
One of the other saddest moments I remember from Craig Ferguson's show, was while he was giving his monologue he casually said to the audience, "You ain't never had a friend like me." After saying that, he paused and realized what he said, kissed his hand and raised it to the sky. And you realized just then he was giving a heartfelt remembrance to one of his best friends, Robin Williams, who passed away not too long earlier.
Can u Hook me up with the monologue link?
So sad he's leaving his show. Such a loss, the best host on latenight. Hope he goes somewhere else where he can be watched.
The tears are running down my face. I actually sobbed when Craig said his Dad reached out and touched his head in the hospital. My Dad did the very same thing and it meant EVERYTHING to me...Thank you Craig for sharing a such private and wonderful moments. I miss my Dad.
"I punched my chest and I threw out my heart. Goodnight Dad."
I held it in for the entire video, don't know why I felt the need to, I'm alone after all. But when he said that I just cried. Nothing else about it. Just tears and grimace, but man, it feels good afterwards.
My Dad would do exactly the same thing when we watched TV together; I always sat on the floor, and if he got up to get something, he would occasionally tossle my hair as he went by. He's been gone 18 years today, and I still miss that. I do the same thing to my daughter as often as I can, and I hope when the day comes she will remember this gesture with the same fondness I do.
Och that's my own dad on the way out now. That thing Craig says about his dad putting his hand on his head, that's the stuff that sticks. I love you, dad.
So dearly honoring. Dad’s hand on his head-tear-jerking story.
teared me up so bad
What makes this great is that you'd never see this anywhere else-- there's no real person on television who's that honest, sincere, and vulnerable.
This is beauty in my eyes, I keep coming back to this. It’s about a man who’s supposed to entertain but his loved ones are more important to him than his career, and it’s so brave to be that vulnerable in front of practically everyone in the world. This is strength in my opinion and I wish he’d come back to influence people in some way some day.
Wow! Craig knows how to strike just the right balance of sincerely expressed tribute to his father without making it a suffocating syrup of sentimentality . His spoken words, laced in lighthearted humor belie the depth of his sorrow with a star bright aching beauty. Here is a man who possesses the animated charisma of a crowd pleasing entertainer, alongside the softened heartbeat of a genteel Son. Craig Ferguson is a rare unearthed Diamond indeed, who has my utmost respect and admiration.
I love how open and sharing Craig was here.
One of the greatest men to ever walk the earth. We love you, Craig.
Thanks Craig--first time I saw this, my dad was a huge fan of yours, a little over a year after his death--and I finally see this. Thanks Craig!
A beautiful tribute to his dad.
" and my son went under the bed of the hospital to sing a song, because he thought it was funny not seeing him, maybe i'll try it one day on the show"
and that's when the puppies on his show began to appear WAAY later on
The same gesture came out of me with my dad and my mom
god DAMMIT ... I made it till " hand on my head " :*(
torgo4ever you're not alone
same.
god damn it, this always gets me. Hes so fucking precious. I always cry when he does the gesture where he punches his chest and throws his heart at his father. Hes so great. I love him so much and have so much respect for this man.
Don't leave ,We'll miss you Craig Ferguson.
HOLY shit his accent was noticeably stronger back then lol. awesome
Thanks for posting these just love and miss his show. So sad that we have no one like him and now he is no longer doing a talk show. He blows every talk show host away. Honest and humble and so missed.
He’s such a great talker
this never gets old :')
After losing my dad, this resonates so strongly. Makes me get choked up and tear up every time
This is a lovely man. Inspiring all.alcoholics
You are lovely, Craig!
Craig you are a good man with a GREAT heart.
Watched the eulogy of his mum and then this one, now have cried at 2 Craig Ferguson videos
Craig is a great person. I respect what he did here and it brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful. Love ya Craig.
At one minute and 40 seconds .....i felt your pain , your dad was special (like all dad's).....dont worry craig ....your dad knows you love him .
Makes me miss my Dad :(
That so reminds me of when I said to my father, in North Vancouver, B.C., Lions Gate Hospital, December 8, 1995 at 16:20 : "Dad, there are several great jet trails out there.. Hop a ride and we will see each other in another life.. We'll make sure mom is ok.." The nurse was waiting to use the stethoscope. She came out and said she said " Your father is gone now".. He was breathing when I was in the room as I could tell by the faint movement of his chest..
Very powerful and brave to be so open and honest. I like you more Craig because of this eulogy, full of reflection and honest vulnerability.
A real braveheart. What a fine human being.
my dad died when i was 5 but i can still relate to how he feels
I too felt like we were together in a cozy room..he sharing and me listening..Such a gift..
I invite you to imagine a world where all the shows on television or on the internet were like this one or even if just the personalities, the hosts and actors were like Craig Ferguson. With the exception of David Letterman, nobody has near the talent or the comedic ability or the verbal acuity that Craig has but even more than that he's a man with a heart, a man who loves his father and was there by his side when it was important to be by his side, a man who shared his joy and his amusement and his grief with millions of strangers and somehow, well, I can't speak for everyone, but somehow allowed me to feel that sense of loss too, it made me sad but it also made me feel privileged and, as for Craig, all I can say is that it was damned generous of him to give that to me and I just wonder how different the world would be if all the people we give our attention to day-in and day-out, all the fancy dudes and lascivious women and posers and disingenuous con-men and perverts and all the rest were a little bit like Mr. Ferguson instead.
I've reached the age where I pretty much don't care what's going on around me anymore, unless it happens quickly any disaster or war or invasion is going to come too late for me, I'll be sleeping but as long as I am here I can dream of a better place that you don't have to die to get into, a complete, whacko fantasy world where actors and Presidents and postal-workers were just a little like Craig and the world was a much better place for it.
he is amazing.. I have a huge respect for this man..
Craig, your father had to of been so proud of you. i feel your pain, the same as when i lost my mother. God bless you and you're family.
*had to have
*your family
I am so sorry, I commend every sentiment of your post.
I left my Dad while I was getting ready for work and darted out of the house. Saying see you later. I got that one phone call you never want. Manager took me home and I saw my Dad for the last time being taken away. My world had changed in a single moment and took me 6 months before it hit home. So I say now the pain is always there, but just learn to live with it.
Thank you for posting this. True, honest, funny
Stuff of a legend
Much love here.
I could listen to him all day he's sincere and funny and I know how it feels to lose your mom and dad ,, I've also lost my son 💔 I've only just discovered your shows and now im a fan!
Aye, Wee Scrubber, you’ve done well by your Da.
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
Loving son, loving father. Lucky, both. Tears.
Spoken like a true man. Craig Ferugson is an incredible, compassionate, sincere person through and through.
Well said Maria. This is beyond touching and such remarkable perspective. What a gift this man has to convey such feelings. Felt like he and I were the only ones in the room and he was sharing his innermost thoughts. It's almost life changing to hear this.
The bit about his father's hand... Jesus, that was poignant.
Brought tears
who the fuck disliked this? WHO?!
Brought me tears
Craig Ferguson: the greatest, funniest, most real TV host ever. xo
I'm so sorry for your loss. My father (who is also 65) is still alive. But this video makes me imagine how I would eulogize HIM. There are so many similarities between Craig's Pa and mine: hard childhood, hard worker, broke his back to make something of himself, and gave us all a better life because of it. It'll kill me when he's gone. He's idiosyncratic and a bit weird and a lot of people don't appreciate that. But he's my Pa and I'll always and forever love him. Just like you and Craig.
Beyond words.
Craig Ferguson is a great man. I admire his strength and ability to share with us, his audience his vulnerable side, his grief and still went to work to put smiles on our faces even when he was hurting inside. Much respect Mr. Ferguson.
Seen these episodes before but for a while. Still touches my heart deeply. So very
i will love this video forever.
Love this man.
This guy is truly a wonderful person
🍃Mr. Craig Ferguson, I am so sorry about your father, my deepest condolences sir. Your father indeed was a magnificent husband and father, I see all of it through you.
Quite proud of your father and his accomplishments, for he indeed did a beautiful job raising and encouraging you.
Again, sorry for your lost, and thank you for sharing such a painful and private moment with us.
May he Rest in Peace.
I love you Craig !
This man is a class act, a real human being.
Sorry for your loss.
Hey mate sorry for the late reply, i hope you're doing better now. I've never really lost a loved one so can't really understand the magnitude of your loss. But what i really do know is you can always remember your mother through yourself. She, as every mother wants, is her child to be themselves. Go out. Meet people. Find love, Be confident in your life and your skills. Confidence is key as it will make you your own person and grow your skills. Make her proud. Good luck bro :)
The last thing I said to my Dad was, "I forgive you."
You're a good man Craig
I lost my father two years ago,so I can relate,too.One of the things that freaked me out was that for a time I couldn't remember the sound of his voice...I'm so sorry.The more so because of your family situation...I'm fortunate in having my mother still,and the support of my sisters as well.I really hope things have gotten better for you:it's terrible to feel so lost and alone.Bless.
That's quite heartbreaking, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any siblings?
😔
Dammit....now I have to go wrestle a grizzly bear to get my manhood back. Must be raining in my apartment....this water on my cheeks.....
Give me one sec. Ima call my dad and tell him I love him while I still can!
i want the full episode. can anyone link this episodes, and the mom eulogy episode please?
Your father had/has a great son.
Well done Craig.
5:18 My Dad's mantra was " I don't care what you do, just do it to your best ability... and I'll be proud of you son." I've wanted to get " Just do it" tattooed on my arm, but i"m afraid of the Nike reference instead of his...
sniff sniff.... is someone chopping onions?
Onion War flashbacking so hard right now wtf
@People are so hypocritical, ignore me --- I feel your pain, and send you my love.
Thank you David..I couldn't have said it better myself..I have to go get a new box of Kleenex..
This is what's missing from people today: heart. RIP "Scrub". Shalom aleichem and lchaim.
“I’m gunna sing a song and you can’t see me “....
“Maybe I’ll try it here one night”
*Years later creates fake house band too shy to sing on camera
Black suit. Black tie.
-That was a big month.
-Yaaay!
I think it's more like "Alright" not "yay".. that would be out of character for his dad.
xleax No, he's saying "Aye". A lot of Scots people say 'aye' instead of 'yes'.
Neil Murray Thanks for the claRification
Scots, the perfect combination of Irish and English, while still being completely unique.
or maybe my opinion is different from yours . . . . and what I'm getting at is the caledonian antisyzygy and the juxtaposition of idealism and romanticism (similar to that evident in the Irish character) and realism and pragmatism (more English traits) that exist within the Scottish psyche. We're not as wistful as the Irish but far less and conservative than the English. We're a nice mix of both and fall somewhere in the middle. But y'know, that's just like, my opinion, man.
D Slvstr that's insulting
Wtf is up with all these ninjas flyin around choppin onions man.....
