I've only heard about this episode, through Craig talking about it in his autobiography. But Goddamn. This is one of the most beautiful, honest and heartwrenching things I've watched. The rawness of his emotion. The way the audience is supportive. Each one of the guests helping him deal with his pain in a unique way. I've never, ever seen such honesty on television before.
I love this so much. I love that Craig is so real and honest. I know this was hard, but he handled himself beautifully and this is truly a great episode.
This was so beautiful to see. The raw emotion Craig shows and how he remembered his dad. Made me tear. I love Craig and his whole life story. He's such a genuine individual. ❤
huh ... his final episode where he sings "Bang Your Drum" brings a whole new meaning (that I probably didn't think of). Thank you for posting this, as well.
Oh yes. Knowing your daddy loves you is such a subtle and beautiful thing. It strikes harder than you can imagine when he’s gone. Going to have swollen eyes in the morning.😭💙
I only discovered TLLSWCF earlier this year and since then I've watched so much of the wonderfully crazy and funny stuff. Tonight, I watched this episode and I have to say this is one the finest pieces of television I have ever seen. The open, honest, heartfelt way in which Craig paid tribute to his Dad and the way he lived his life was truly moving.
Craig is a truly beautiful person, I respect and admire him so much. This was a beautifully poignant show, especially the talk between him and dr. Drew. My father died 9 years ago and I still have dreams about him just being there, maybe in a different city which is why I haven't seen him in so long, or worrying about him being sick and going through great peril to get to see him before he died. It's really hard to accept that someone you've known since birth is gone. The loss of a parent is hard. I respect Craig so much for dealing with it the way he did.
Sarah Kinsey Yes especially given I lost my father five years ago. His conversation with Amy was very honest and compelling. The heart goes on even after loss.
Lost my father last year. It's fantastic to hear one of my icons describing exactly how it feels. Never knew of this episode. I truly appreciate the post!
Extraordinary balls....and articulate story-telling, with the deepest amount of respect and emotion. I saw the other one where he said his mother was now "getting the news" !
Oh Craig you are so special , the eulogies for both your Dad and mother are what makes you the very best of human beings. We all have faults , you were courageous and tackled your alcoholism . Your presence in the World make it a better place. Thank you very much to whoever uploaded this.
I haven't seen this show since it first aired ... beautiful episode ... so moving ... ... I wish more TV was this honest ... wonderful tribute to his father! Craig ... beautiful eulogy ... I miss Ferguson's late night show so much ... he was my favorite late Night Talk Show host.
this is the most beatiful, respecting, everlasting memorial you can do for a beloved ones....with this episode of his legendary tv show he made his father truely immortal! i really love it!
9:05 the buildup to the horror story and the touch - the emotional pause is just brutal with sorrow. Any other guy recounting this would have cracked. Damn - it's an masterclass from Craig x
Craig// what a beautiful eulogy too your FATHER!!! GOD BLESS YOU SND YOUR FAMILY… I ASK FOR PRAYER FOR MY SOBRIETY!!! You sir are a humble person ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Being Australian, I have heard many people (from here and from overseas) totally screw up the Didgeridoo, but that guy in the Wicked Tinkers was magnificent. 😁
It was so bittersweet funny to see Craig switching to his playful, comfortable self - if only for moments - once a beautiful woman was in the room... 🙂
Ok, I wove you! 😋😉 I can’t say I share your feelings toward parents but I’m happy you are in a good place from that standpoint. I just realized that Scotts people saying you lost your accent are correct. I miss this good ol Scott accent. And I’m of a completely different people. Very far from any Celtic or Anglo language.
If Drew Penski told me the same things I would ask him politely to leave. It is beyond me how he helps people. The guy sounds so fake. His gestures also, seriously something is off about him. Too bad he was the guest of this rather special episode.
So glad I've finally got to see this...Craig eulogizes his father...how beautiful...THANK YOU for posting these....
It was so sweet of him to do something that difficult

Same thing I cried too. When I heard about it
Oh agreed...I have wet eyes.
@@angiecox8781 I have wet pants
I am 39 years old, I lost my father 19 years ago.
I've watched this episode hundreds of times, and I still feel like watching it for the first time
This truly is the best piece of Television I've ever seen!
I love this so much. I love that Craig is so real and honest. I know this was hard, but he handled himself beautifully and this is truly a great episode.
"I don't remember the world without him in it. The world has changed for me."

oh man when he chokes up remembering how his father would put his hand on his head broke my heart
Same here it made me cry. (I don't usually cry that easily.)

I cried my heart out to this.
Same here! I feel like he's a family member!
Wow the accent really came out here, he was definitely going through some strong feelings
Don't you just want to give him a big hug

All these years later, this is still one of the most moving events in television, especially him drumming for his dad.
watching this years and years later and it still makes me cry, my heart breaks every time I (re)watch it
Whether its rip roaring laughter or hard tears as he remembered 9/11 or the death of his father this dude is an absolute multi-faceted diamond
Oh Craig you are so special , the eulogies for both your Dad and mother are what makes you the very best of human beings. We all have faults , you were courageous and tackled your alcoholism . Your presence in the World make it a better place. Thank you very much to whoever uploaded this.
I haven't seen this show since it first aired ... beautiful episode ... so moving ...
... I wish more TV was this honest ... wonderful tribute to his father! Craig ... beautiful eulogy ...
I miss Ferguson's late night show so much ... he was my favorite late Night Talk Show host.
Mine too, and I think he will always be my favorite. All these years later and I still feel the same way.
It's so great that this episode still survives, especially considering how hard it seems to be to locate any of them from the early years.
Thanks for charing it with us graig lost my dad 20 years. Stil mis him
+pleiades dragon Bless you :)
this is the most beatiful, respecting, everlasting memorial you can do for a beloved ones....with this episode of his legendary tv show he made his father truely immortal!
i really love it!
I watched this the day it came out. It still hits after all these years.
What a wonderful tribute to his father! Great job Craig!
How sweet to share this with us and give us time to reflect and remember our own losses also.💙
Wasn´t expecting this but wow only respect and love Craig and the show even more now. Straight to the feels. Beautiful!
OMG ... That was so hard and beautiful in the same time 💔
Can you upload the episode that Craig Ferguson paid tribute to Tom Synder before and at the end of the show...I think the show aired on July 30th 2007
WOW, what an emotional show
...scotish accent still very present !!!!
Loved the musical portion, very moving episode
Aww. That was so sweet of Craig. It makes me sad when Craig gets upset like that. But I feel like he needs a huge hug anyway.
OK, who's cutting onions?
9:05 the buildup to the horror story and the touch - the emotional pause is just brutal with sorrow. Any other guy recounting this would have cracked. Damn - it's an masterclass from Craig x
Craig// what a beautiful eulogy too your FATHER!!! GOD BLESS YOU SND YOUR FAMILY… I ASK FOR PRAYER FOR MY SOBRIETY!!! You sir are a humble person ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That monologue broke my heart
Beautiful show, beautiful eulogy Craig Ferguson. 😑👏🙏
Here I am stumbling on this episode a week after my father passed away. Medicine I didn't know I needed.
Being Australian, I have heard many people (from here and from overseas) totally screw up the Didgeridoo, but that guy in the Wicked Tinkers was magnificent. 😁
It was so bittersweet funny to see Craig switching to his playful, comfortable self - if only for moments - once a beautiful woman was in the room... 🙂
I'm not crying, you're crying! I regret that my children will never talk like this about me when I die
so beautiful.
My father loved Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote and Tweetie Bird. Uncanny.
i am crying.
oh man... I came here to laugh not to have feels :C
lmao dude right, I've been crying the entire show. but I can't turn it off.
This is the best most realist show I've ever watched. But this episode was the most difficult to watch
Jeoff the skeleton could be Robert Ferguson.... After watching this episode that made me think about it.
Damnit I didn't come here for the feels
29:57 you could tell he needed that hug
Why did the band cut out? They were great.
Just freaking beautiful
❤❤❤❤❤

I'm an idiot. I was about halfway through the Amy segment when I realized who "John" was.
Isn't closure getting confirmed what went wrong when someone dies, so that it hopefully is easier to let go? Like the story comes to a close?
I miss 2006
I was born on that date
I am weeping.
why does the video keep cutting in and out?
I 😭 cause Craig 😭
