Craig: "... A friend of mine, doing a show in London." Colbert: "Was it good?" Craig: "It was very good. Oedipus." Colbert: "Oh wow. Don't tell me how it ends." ... is a hilarious Colbert joke, all but sailed over the audience's head.😂
OMG!!! I cannot show this vid to my British husband because I will never hear the end of it. We have gone round and round several times about the way I say "Craig." But then he thinks the name "Kyle" is two syllables so we are even. 😂
As a Canadian who celebrates Thanksgiving in October, I can never get over the fact that Americans have two huge family holidays to celebrate back to back. The Canadian timing is highly sensible. It was historically timed to celebrate the harvest. Two months later we are ready again to celebrate the holiday season, whatever religion or reason that allows you to do so. Lots of time to get over the over-indulging that tends to go on during those times. Americans barely have time to turn around before they are doing it again. My tree also goes up mid-November as I really go over the top and put in tons of effort decorating and I want to enjoy my hard work for as long as I can. Just a commentary, not a criticism. Well, maybe sort of.
@@josephoneill7656 As a European with a language that has very strict/unbending rules about vowels, this drove me nuts when learning English and applies to all vowels. IE; How do you say 'Bet'? Now say the letter 'E'. What about BAR? Now say the letter "A". And so on. Completely different sounds for the vowels than how you prounounce it. In many European and other languages, you pronounce the letter the way it sounds in a word. It takes these types of confusing pronouncing issues out of the game. There's no spelling bee in my country lol, it would be pointless.
I guess the same goes for “Harry” and “Hairy”. But why people make a fuss about name pronunciations? No one ever argues about the way Americans vs Brits pronounce water, squirrel, tomato, etc. It’s just a freaking accent… You know what’s bad? French people having English names. Ethan, Joey, Bradley, etc. pronounced in French sounds atrocious 😬
All people who have Craig in their name would like to thank Daniel for his public service. Not that it will keep my last name from being mispronounced by Americas but I like that he tried!
I am super glad he made this point. It was nice Stephen apologized too but I don’t think that was the intention here-he is actually highlighting an important aspect of phonology that most people just don’t think about in everyday speech- Diphthongs. People use them every day without even thinking. For example the pronoun I-only one vowel when written, actually has two vowel sounds when you say it-most people just don’t realize it. It’s actually an AH followed be an EE in fast succession.
There is no native born American accent, and the word egg is pronounced differently in small, subtle ways in various places across the country. I know plenty of people who would pronounce it AYGG. And I also know plenty of people who would pronounce it EGG
Well, now we know how to pronounce Daniel Craig for his last name. Thank you for correcting your last name, which we didn't know until now, America.😂. And yes, it's a nice awkward and funny interview with 2 handsome gentlemen. ❤😂
My maiden name is Craig, and while traveling as a child, my family constantly had our name spelled incorrectly such that we learned to tell hotel concierges to look up our reservation under Kreg or Greg because it would inevitably be misspelled when written in the pre-computer hotel reservation books. It’s not even a difficult surname.
I will continue to pronounce it grayam. It let's really slow people know what I mean. If I can put up with folks mispronouncing 10% of the words anyway, folk'll have to put up with me too.
Part of the issue with the enunciation is Stephen's southern roots. I'm from Texas and my husband, who was originally from Utah, often mishears my vowels. They're very close when you have a drawl.
Yeah, I think it suits you Cold-bear instead of Coal-burt 😂😂😂😅😅😅the great magical touch of James Bond character beyond actors is that..we all dream about becoming that kind of spy, involved in political intrigues, dealing with bad guys and sanitize the humankind of criminals, Daniel Craig is very good to give us the proper input...even if growing old changes sensations, he must do the daddy's role by now, teaching young generations how to become the next James Bond... because...spies job never ends... no, no way
okay, that was delightfully endearing ✨ both of them able to surf gracefully through awkwardness together
well who are you talking to SIR? clearer
Craig: "... A friend of mine, doing a show in London."
Colbert: "Was it good?"
Craig: "It was very good. Oedipus."
Colbert: "Oh wow. Don't tell me how it ends."
... is a hilarious Colbert joke, all but sailed over the audience's head.😂
Ahhhh This is what makes a great TV ....Real adlib and very entertaining!
Imagine a James Bond who swings both ways. No one would be safe from his charm.
We got a preview of this in Skyfall!
That’s how it should be for that character lol
I want Terry Crews as the next Bond girl then
@@Animaniac-vd5stsounds hot
@@Animaniac-vd5st haha Crews is so good at emoting that would be hilarious!
daniel on colberts show is just pure and unguarded joy
This was such a random conversation and I love it 😂
He’s just so…interesting. Just a fascinating dude. And so much more range than people ever thought.
one of the best and funniest interviews ive seen
Even trying to get it right, at the end Stephen said "Crehg" in stead of Craig.
The tension is palpable 😂 they are so real with each other lol shout-out to the best 007 thus far👏🏿
What chemistry between CRAYg and ColBEAR🤩
Don't be cagey, Daniel Cray-g
Thank you, Stephan Colbear...LOL!
more like Coal bear (at 8:11)
Looks like he's getting black something's in his stocking
Stephen's ben wa line had me roaring. They both got a chuckle, from which I thought would take longer to recover.🤣🤣🤣
Oh! I get it now 😂😂 I thought it had something to do with the death of Chris Benoit at first, and was so confused! Thanks 😊
Can someone explain for me?
Daniel Craig is my boo in my head.
Daniel Craig** not Craig
OMG!!! I cannot show this vid to my British husband because I will never hear the end of it. We have gone round and round several times about the way I say "Craig." But then he thinks the name "Kyle" is two syllables so we are even. 😂
But it IS two syllables whether you say it the British way or the American way, no? They say 'Kyle' with two syllables on South Park anyhoo :)
Love Daniel Craig! He and Stephen always have a fun time together
We love daniel Craig and stephen colbert
Damn, my generation's Bond (along with Brosnan and a little Dalton). - What a time...
Same, but Dalton just seemed like a blip
Benoit Blanc: one of the single most delightful detectives in movie history.

good thing the whole world looks to Canadians for guidance....
Great interview, it brightened up my day :-)
I just went back to the hear how he called him and he was right, he called him Creg 😄
It's unusual that Americans pronounce the name "Craig" as "Creg". They don't pronounce "rain" as "ren".
@@josephoneill7656 Nah lol. A United statesian couldn't pronounce themselves out of a tea bag!

@@josephoneill7656 I get it, but also Americans say it similarly to the ai in "said".
From my experience I find it seems to be a new york area pronunciation
Yes getting his name wrong has always bugged me too, it must really piss him off, I’m glad he has corrected it at last 👍👍
So, to be clear, it's NOT Creg like Greg?
@ no it’s not, there is already a surname over here spelled cregg and it’s pronounced that way, so Daniel pronounced his correctly 👍👍
Awesome conversation.loved every bit of it.
It’s never been a subtle difference… the whole saying Craig as “Cregg” thing in the USA is bizarre. It’s not “eh” it’s “ay”.
"Graham" is another
@@LindaC616 Gram lol

such a wonderful, organic exchange. bravo, gentlemen.
😻😻😻😻😻 5/5
😹😹😹😹😹 5/5
First time I ever seen Daniel Craig smile
What a great conversation this was, like two old friends hanging out.
the way he said im not on NBC hahaha @cbs
Hahaha
It's like a train crashing... i can't look away 😂😂😂 this is too funny 😂
This was just so awkward to watch, start to finish
Love Craig. Don’t know about those orthopedic shoes with the suit, though. :-)
They look like $800 Loewe retro runners. Definitely not orthopedic
No doubt they’re expensive. But that’s what they look like to me, lol. Hate the combo no matter how many people like to wear suits with running shoes.
"Ooh. I hear the difference. That is subtle."
I get it. He's saying you just need to _smile_ more when you say his name.
Get me a cold beer, not a cold bear!
All people who have Craig in their name would like to thank Daniel for his public service. Not that it will keep my last name from being mispronounced by Americas but I like that he tried!
I was so happy and laughed so hard at this video. 😂😂❤❤
Daniel Craig quirky did impress.
Daniel Craig bangs is hillarious with class😂

Ben Wah…BALLS
I’m so happy he explained how to pronounce Craig for Americans. 😂
You cannot make an omelette without breaking a few Craigs
That looks like a powerhouse performance!
It is so easy to make Mr. Craig laugh! He is perfect for blind dates!
Greatest and best Bond ever. 😉
Oh my Stephen! 😂 I had no idea.
Craig. Daniel Craig.
Great segment. 💯✨️💥
It's the difference between "egg" and "vague". Short E versus long A. How is that subtle? (for a native-born American)
I say both of those A sounds the same amount of time.
@@YodatheHobbit There's only one "ay" sound there. The other one is an "eh".
'native born American'?
You are aware English and American pronunciations are different nationally as well as regionally?
There is no native born American accent, and the word egg is pronounced differently in small, subtle ways in various places across the country. I know plenty of people who would pronounce it AYGG. And I also know plenty of people who would pronounce it EGG
@@YodatheHobbityou think there’s an A sound in egg? 😂😂
Best interview
Gorgeous man.
Well, now we know how to pronounce Daniel Craig for his last name. Thank you for correcting your last name, which we didn't know until now, America.😂. And yes, it's a nice awkward and funny interview with 2 handsome gentlemen. ❤😂
I've been saying Craig wrong as well lol
Also Americans, while we’re at it:
Graham is pronounced Gray-am and not Gramm.
And Colin is pronounced Coll-In.
Don't forgetLayer Cake and The Glass Onion.
Americans have always pronounce Craig weird - Cregg. What the heck is that about? It's Cray-g! Just like Daniel pronounced it!
They both get shit faced before this interview?!
Balls!
It took a minute but finally he made the connection with, Ben Wah Balls. Need I explain further?
Not apparent to all, but you don't have to explain
I thought I was the only one with a dirty mind😅
My maiden name is Craig, and while traveling as a child, my family constantly had our name spelled incorrectly such that we learned to tell hotel concierges to look up our reservation under Kreg or Greg because it would inevitably be misspelled when written in the pre-computer hotel reservation books. It’s not even a difficult surname.
Craig is one of the best in Cinema ❤
Craig as in Cray-fish.
When I say it exactly that way my British husband still says I'm getting it wrong but then he cannot pronounce 'water' correctly. It's not 'wahér" 😂😂😂
Craig like Raid. Not Creg like Peg.
I find it's always to explain such things as what they rhyme with: "It doesn't rhyme with 'Greg', it rhymes with 'The Hague'."
Now can someone teach Americans how to pronounce “Graham” properly?
I know right, I only recently realised every time I’d heard “gram” crackers mentioned in shows and movies etc they were actually saying Graham 😂🤦♂️
Came looking for this 😅
they do it for the gram
@@AshArAis no they don’t, Americans have been calling Graham crackers “gram” crackers the whole time 😂
I will continue to pronounce it grayam. It let's really slow people know what I mean. If I can put up with folks mispronouncing 10% of the words anyway, folk'll have to put up with me too.
Send a picture of your tree to Steven Colbert. Maybe he'll show us
Now, the difference between 'ferry' and 'fairy', that's more subtle.
Yet ANOTHER cool AF Scouser hehe
One of my favorite movies of his is Logan Lucky. Really good but not mentioned.
It’s quite an odd thing. Stephen Colbert always reminds me of my dead grandmother when I said my good bye at the funeral home.
He's enjoyed the green room, hasn't he?
I think Daniel Craig might be slowly turning into Jeff Bridges. 😋
You know, Craig Ferguson had the same beef, but I could never hear the difference...now I'll say it right!! :)
I think Daniel is my favorite actor
He looks like Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, even laughs like him too
My favorite movie of his, is actually a little gem called Enduring Love. Just so you know.
Part of the issue with the enunciation is Stephen's southern roots. I'm from Texas and my husband, who was originally from Utah, often mishears my vowels. They're very close when you have a drawl.
Anyway Craig truth 😊😊
So awkward, so adorable
Best. James. Bond. Ever.
❤
I can't stand how Americans pronounce Craig as creg, Graham as gram and Tara as terror. It drives me mad.
Stoned out of his mind…😮
I love how the late night host are getting more and more real. Stop the media training.
who had a few in the green room earlier?
That Tony Wilson suit and trainers look so hot right now
Smith should have a blanket pardon as well.
Yeah, I think it suits you Cold-bear instead of Coal-burt 😂😂😂😅😅😅the great magical touch of James Bond character beyond actors is that..we all dream about becoming that kind of spy, involved in political intrigues, dealing with bad guys and sanitize the humankind of criminals, Daniel Craig is very good to give us the proper input...even if growing old changes sensations, he must do the daddy's role by now, teaching young generations how to become the next James Bond... because...spies job never ends... no, no way
I think Daniel is high 😛
Cold beer... 🍻
Craig was my favorite Bond.
Steve didn’t see the lights in London in the 1990’s. Sly Stallone pulled the lever in Regent’s Street and they were so bad, Sly asked did it work.
Geordie’s looking well.
Well, I've been saying his last name wrong all along, geez!
Benoit (Ben-wah). Colbert would pronounce it as Ba-noyt.
With hair like that I am ready for Daniel to Master and Command me.
Bond w/Stephen awesome 👏👏
Next movie, Bond vs McCall💥
the biggest Bromance
I’m more confused now.
I know hasnt daniel craig been 007 in like 4000 videos
Cray Cray Craig ;)
Just call ☎️ him “Craigy “
