It took till 1:10:00 for him to light up and start being his fun and extroverted self again. Seems like being depressed is his baseline mood since leaving the show.
Best host, enjoyable to watch with a genuine personality =Craig Ferguson Best interviewer / best questions = Sean Evans I’d feel so fortunate to be friends with either one. Both seem like genuinely great people.
@@terrymckenzie8786 I used to think that about some jobs I had as a kid but in his case, he was a natural at it and that is why we all miss his arse so much! Sad!
Loved Craig's take on social media. Reminds me of Mike Tyson's quote "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."
I also grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and getting rude or in someone’s face was a direct path to fist-to-face contact. I mean really… what else are fists for? 🤷🏻♂️👊
I think that one of my disappointments was I could not stay up to watch both Letterman and Craig. It was one of the things I looked forward to when I retired. Then they both “retired” at the same time.
@oneofus6924 Do you think current in charge TV people and the larger audience would put up with his flirting now? I agree with you the guests knew what they were walking into and they did enjoy it clearly. I think he'd be in internet trouble about twice a week, if he was lucky, and TV higher up trouble weekly. I'm not trying to stir things up, I loved his show, and Craig has said repeatedly he wouldn't come back, so this is just a hypothetical conversation.
Over the years, I cannot tell you how many people kept lauding Craig Ferguson's late night hosting to me. Glad to see people remember his defintiely original take.
Heh. I watched it for The Rabbit, the Robot, and all the other puppets! A yodeling puppet on that Late Late Show was funnier than anything I've seen on The Tonight Show since the early 2000s when they did a Star Wars skit with Gilbert Gottfried playing Yoda!
I love Craig Ferguson *so* much! He's absolutely delightful in his grumpiness. Ecstatic to see him pop up in my feed; glad he's doing well, and what fun to listen to the chat!
This is one of the better podcast convos I’ve heard in a long time. A lot of it I needed to hear. Some casual wise words from experienced guys. There’s an elegance to de-escalating some of life’s more serious issues.

@@MrChappy39Gonna see Craig in November. The tickets were a gift for my 60th wedding anniversary. VIP Tickets I was deliriously excited. Cannot wait. Miss this Late night show so much.
It is still SO GOOD. Nobody will better it: Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson were the best live, improvisational late night host/sidekick in history. Grant Imahara maker of robot skeleton Geoff Petersen was also a legend in his own right: The world was robbed of a genuinely great engineer, prop designer, and TV personalty with his loss. Even Secretariat was hilarious. I'll admit to thinking "this show has gone down hill" after that personality was making regular appearances. Then started to LOL on almost every antic involving the mime horse.

But my mom really got a kick out of this pothead entertainment, and genuinely mellowed out a little, and I credit Craig Ferguson for a large part of that.
Tom, thanks so much for having Craig on. I love his humor and views. I did miss him when he left the TV show. You put him back in my mind. I'm going to go attend one of his tour dates now.
@@terryhuffaker3615 Who cares? This was literally part of the bit. He brought dozens of actresses on who otherwise never wanted to do late night shows and they chose to do the Late-Late show BECAUSE he was such a flirt and BECAUSE it was awkward and this was actually the goal, and BECAUSE it was laid back, and BECAUSE it eas stupid, and BECAUSE it was meant to be funny.
Craig...on the off chance you may ever read this comment... Speaking for myself and tons of fans of Craig's... we miss you and I don't watch any late night anymore... these days I watch clips of your show on youtube... a lot from Jay Leno Fly channel. The vortex of Scottish charm may be a part of why I so enjoyed you... The accent... sexy Appearance... sexy/ handsome... I'm sorry you were concerned about your weight... we thought you looked good all the time. Personality... charming I know you mentioned you didn't go to college and left high school, but intelligence isn't about schooling... there are a lot of PhDs that are extremely stupid... they simply have expertise, or have been told they are experts, in one area. Your innate intelligence is obvious. You seem to have a good heart. You are pretty open and honest about your past. You are so funny and I loved when you cracked yourself up or Secretariat or Geoff Peterson cracked you up. You were so wonderful with the guests. You are such an amazing flirt...it was fun to watch. I do wish you had enjoyed doing and continued with your late night show... you are so missed!!! I miss your impression of Michael Caine, Sean Connery... I loved when you had Michael Caine on... Anthony Hopkins... not enough time to list all the guests... it seemed like your guests had more fun on your show than any other. Wishing you and your family well. P. S. On hunting... for people who are not vegetarian or vegan, many hunt to be able to afford protein... especially these days with inflation, people can't always afford buying meat from the grocery store. Most hunters, but not all, are very big supporters of wildlife and keeping nature healthy so they can always have game around to feed their families. There are of course some who don't consume what they hunt, which i don't like...trophy hunters, but most deer hunters, turkey hunters, duck hunters do so because they enjoy procuring their own food and some also do so because store bought animal protein is too expensive. Many also grow their own fruits and vegetables on their land. They often believe in self sufficiency.
Richard Dawson was pissed in Hogan's Heroes and they wouldn't let him use his natural accent, Big Arguments, NOBODY WILL UNDERSTAND YOU. So he did the fakey accent, and halfway through the first season The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan... Dawson is from Liverpool...
Thanks - I miss Craig’s Late Night terribly. But really shouldn’t have been up so late… I respect his getting out. I was lucky enough to see it taped twice. Glad he’s happy. 😃
Best Late Night talk show host in History. Conan and Letterman might have changed late night tv forever, but Craig Ferguson perfected what Johnny Carson did in the most genuine and honest way possible, that was never seen before and will likely never be seen again. The man was himself from the very first episode, until the last.
I did not realize how much I missed Craig Ferguson. He's a breath of fresh air in this dirty world. Also very happy to hear I'm not the only woman who is a bad cook, but great baker 😂 This whole interview was great!!!
One of the best bottles of wine I've had in my 50 years of being a legal drinker was a 1976 Chianti in a basket. I found the bottle at a hot summer day garage sale. I bought it, as a novelty because it was the year of my wife's HS graduation. It was the mid 80's and the bottle sat around in changing seasons, hot/cold, moved from house to house. It was never intended to be drank, so no gentle treatment. Post 1987 divorce, the bottle ended up as an ornament in my younger daughter's room, w/ a momento from my HS graduation. I always figured it would be vinegar, at best. In the mid 90's, daughter's room was redecorated & bottle ended on a shelf. One night my live in GF & I made a big Italian meal, I saw the wine & jokingly said I've got the perfect wine. Egged on, I opened the bottle, cautiously smelled it, (all good), then bravely tasted it. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. Evenly balanced between dry & sweet, a good fruit taste, not too fruity to go w/ the classic marinara I'd made. If I could only duplicate the 'tender' care I gave that bottle for 20 years, I'd have the secret to great wine & a shortcut to riches. LOL
I love Craig sooo much and still go back over the old clips wherever I want sparkle and cheering. So wonderful! And Tom, I love "You're doing Great" with all my heart. I have spent a happy couple of hours with my 92-year-old mother-in-law who laughed and laughed and howled at "are there stairs?".(She's on a walker and in a wheelchair). My 94-year-old mother also loved it and was cheered by it. (She's on the treadmill four times a week.) Thank you! 💝💝💝
The movie Saving Grace, by and starring Craig Ferguson, has the most perfect ending of any film I've ever seen. A brilliant movie. His talent as a talk show host, writer, comedian and actor is off the charts. Proud that he's "one of us." Loved seeing him again here. Thanks!
I very much enjoy Craig Ferguson's stand up but really miss seeing him on late-night television with his own show interviewing and having fun interacting with people. Despite being humble and self-deprecating, he is brilliant in his observations and level of insight and one of the smartest conedians around. I still remember when he had Robin Williams on and theur chemistry and ability to improvise and evoke laughter from the audience was incredible and a nater class in comedy
Well, things have changed for Craig. I thought he moved to Scotland and gave up standup. Now he's back in the States, doing standup. Good for you, buddy. We need ya.
@@steviespaind4307 Yeppers. He moved to NY, and he's doing standup again. A few years ago he had moved ro Scotland, and had given up standup. On YMH, he said, I'm done. Glad he's not done.
Late Night died when Craig hung it up and walked away from the Late Late Show......I miss laughing so much it hurt watching him and Geoff just riff. It truly was great fucking television!
If you haven't already stumbled across any of the clips of Craig and his gay robot sidekick Geoff then the next time you are having a bad day just pull some of that up here on YT sick back and laugh your troubles away! It was so damn funny and unique
Craig's observation of social media is spot on. It's not good for anyone to be buried in tic tok, etc for hours .i was on TikTok for one day and was lost for hours, and not in a good way.
Craig was the second best US Late Night TV chat host - a natural, no fake bs and fake laughing and genuinely funny and brought that out in his guests 🙏🏻🙌🏼
I gradually understand that one of most valuable source of entertainment and moral education is to be witness to a respectful conversation between two whitty and experienced people.
Craig was my favorite late night host. I would record it and watch them all when I had a day off. That's the only host I would do that for. I've seen everyone of his comedy specials. I watched the Drew Carrey show just for his character. His negative reflection of life is identical to my own personality. DING DONG, WHO'S AT THE DOOR 🐴
I just adore Craig Ferguson. I wish he’d write an autobiography. I don’t know why he ever worried about his accent. A great deal of charm from folks across the pond is their accents.
Craig Ferguson is so brilliant! Miss him on late night TV. My daughter took me to watch a taping of his show. ❤❤❤❤❤ He is an exceptional talent. Jon Stewart came back. Wish Craig would too.
Great segment. Love and miss my doses of Craig! Got in a good one today. By the way, I'm headed to my family out in Eyemouth, Scotland, in August. I'm from Alaska.
I don't pretend to know this gentleman or his life's challenges, but without hesitation I have to say he knows how to entertain and professionally relate to those around him as he performs. Be well sir!
I am 49 and have never viewed anyone on late night TV, except Dean Martin in his late 60’s heyday (thru the magic of the youtube time machine), to be on the same level as Craig Ferguson. All the others can’t hold a candle to him.
It is amazing, how any event in space-time continuum, that has Craig Ferguson anywhere near it, just becomes an unaired episode of The Late Late Show with CraigyFerg. I absolutely fond of how brutally honest and genuine Craig is. I never was a fan of talk shows. I fell in love with CF&GP that instant, although I had to watch everything on youtube when show was still on (I'm from Russia). I tried to find a new hero after Craig's retirement - nope, turned out what's on your TV right now is pretty much the same crap, driven by same old patterns. Craig was real like drunken uncle living in your parents' house attic for the past 10 years is real. He just didn't give a fuck, which, along with his charisma, made that show so gorgeous. I've just understood, that for some reason my comment looks like an epitaph - didn't plan it that way and blame my age. From some time on everything you say is either rant or epitaph. I love you, CF and JP, you made my life better.
I saw Craig’s audition week the summer after Craig Kilborn ( who I liked because I Got his bit which came off as narcissism to many..). Of the whole summer’s guest offerings, Craig stood out like a sore thumb. He had a natural ability to humanize his guests.. especially some of the big names.. that was instantly engaging, funny and quirky in a way that was perfect for herbal enthusiasts as well. The show was low budget, so the suits gave him a long leash. And it massively paid off.
He did something totally unique with Late Night. Craig, Conan, and Letterman we all great, yet totally different from each other. Now, late-night TV is a giant sea of middle-of-the-road sameness.
Had the pleasure of watching Craig's act in Pittsburgh right at the end of covid and it was a lot of fun. His energy really is amazing and the only thing that would have made it better is subtitles, lol. His Scottish accent was sometimes really hard to decipher.
I've always appreciated Craig Ferguson, but I was so impressed with his insightful comments on a wide range of topics within entertainment media. What a great listen!
A lot of people *physically* survive their childhood only to find they're going to be living the life of Sisyphus until they fix the "solutions" they developed to survive their childhood.
I’m two years older than Craig, but it sounds like we shared a childhood. So glad I caught onto his late night thing when he was in try-outs. Good run.

Sucks EXTREMELY without him.
He said won't do it.
Think he’s tired and dosent want it

Richard Dawson was pissed in Hogan's Heroes and they wouldn't let him use his natural accent, Big Arguments, NOBODY WILL UNDERSTAND YOU. So he did the fakey accent, and halfway through the first season The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan... Dawson is from Liverpool...
And Corden isn’t funny…or entertaining. His whole bit was the karaoke routine. Wore it out. And he is an ass.
I loved his accent! It was what first attracted me and then it was the comedy and the way his brain works.
Craigy Ferg!! The best late night host there has ever been!!!
No sorry, Carson has that crown lasted way way longer than Ferguson , let’s not get carried away , Craig was enjoyable and entertaining but cmon now

We need more of Craig today! In any way shape or form 🙌
Late night died when Craig left.
Late Night TV is absolute garbage now. Political non-comedy.
Oh, no. It died before that. Craig was just the first into the operating theater to notice the patient had expired.
Late night in my mind died with Conan in 2021
Craig Ferguson is so brilliant! Miss him on late night TV. My daughter took me to watch a taping of his show. ❤❤❤❤❤ He is an exceptional talent. Jon Stewart came back. Wish Craig would too.
Great segment. Love and miss my doses of Craig! Got in a good one today. By the way, I'm headed to my family out in Eyemouth, Scotland, in August. I'm from Alaska.
I don't pretend to know this gentleman or his life's challenges, but without hesitation I have to say he knows how to entertain and professionally relate to those around him as he performs. Be well sir!
I miss Craig love him so much
I am 49 and have never viewed anyone on late night TV, except Dean Martin in his late 60’s heyday (thru the magic of the youtube time machine), to be on the same level as Craig Ferguson. All the others can’t hold a candle to him.
The Dean Martin show was on prime time. Johnny Carson was the king of the late night castle. Check out the JC tonight show with Art Carney as guest
@@marcob6880 I am very much aware of Carson, Letterman.. and can appreciate a lot of what they could do.
Craig, to this day I feel you are the best late night host I saw, I still love to see your shows here in yt. You are seriously missed.
Craig was the best. I still watch clips of his show. Proud he chose to be American.
Aww Craigums, love that man so much! Wish we could see him more, would love to catch one of his shows.
It is amazing, how any event in space-time continuum, that has Craig Ferguson anywhere near it, just becomes an unaired episode of The Late Late Show with CraigyFerg. I absolutely fond of how brutally honest and genuine Craig is.
I never was a fan of talk shows. I fell in love with CF&GP that instant, although I had to watch everything on youtube when show was still on (I'm from Russia). I tried to find a new hero after Craig's retirement - nope, turned out what's on your TV right now is pretty much the same crap, driven by same old patterns.
Craig was real like drunken uncle living in your parents' house attic for the past 10 years is real. He just didn't give a fuck, which, along with his charisma, made that show so gorgeous.
I've just understood, that for some reason my comment looks like an epitaph - didn't plan it that way and blame my age. From some time on everything you say is either rant or epitaph.
I love you, CF and JP, you made my life better.
Miss you Craig! So very thankful for UA-cam!
I saw Craig’s audition week the summer after Craig Kilborn ( who I liked because I Got his bit which came off as narcissism to many..). Of the whole summer’s guest offerings, Craig stood out like a sore thumb. He had a natural ability to humanize his guests.. especially some of the big names.. that was instantly engaging, funny and quirky in a way that was perfect for herbal enthusiasts as well. The show was low budget, so the suits gave him a long leash. And it massively paid off.
He did something totally unique with Late Night. Craig, Conan, and Letterman we all great, yet totally different from each other. Now, late-night TV is a giant sea of middle-of-the-road sameness.
Love these two. Laughed alot. Thanks
Had the pleasure of watching Craig's act in Pittsburgh right at the end of covid and it was a lot of fun. His energy really is amazing and the only thing that would have made it better is subtitles, lol. His Scottish accent was sometimes really hard to decipher.
At first they laughed at a podcasts😮 now everyone has a podcast.
Greg Ferguson is one of the greats.
He gets better looking every year. Miss him SOOO much!
I've always appreciated Craig Ferguson, but I was so impressed with his insightful comments on a wide range of topics within entertainment media. What a great listen!
These 2 are great together ❤
Craig was the very best of the talk show hosts and I truly miss him.
Craig had THE funniest late night show. He always made me laugh. I went to one of his comedy shows and it was so fun.
Everyone should have a Craig.
A lot of people *physically* survive their childhood only to find they're going to be living the life of Sisyphus until they fix the "solutions" they developed to survive their childhood.
2 of my FAV DUDES!!!
Miss seeing you nightly Craig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Tom!!!
❤️👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Need more Craig so so funny
I wish Craig was still doing Late Night. He was so entertaining.
Miss Craig Ferguson. He’s a hoot.
I’m two years older than Craig, but it sounds like we shared a childhood.
So glad I caught onto his late night thing when he was in try-outs. Good run.
Hands down best late night host in modern American history. He is dearly missed.
To be fed your perspective robs you of your own perspective. About as wise as anything I’ve ever heard.
Craig was the best and held his own next to some late night greats. He would mop the floor with today's competition.
Great comedian
Much gratitude to @Craig for the lovely shout out at around 45:10 mark. Thank you, so much, kind sir!
Love Craig, miss him, great interview. 👍👍
Great to see and listen to Mr. Craig Ferguson.
I miss Craig very much got me through some sad times. Only he could make me laugh😊I think he's adorable. Thank you, Tom made me happy 😊 xx🦋😂
