A couple of years ago.. Bumped into Craig. Here in Australia.. in a place called the rock's.. said hi. And we had a couple of beers.. Just after that he new he had to stop drinking..
Craig was one of the best late night talk show hosts, his monologues went on forever and were hilarious. he made the rest of them look lazy and predictable.
I miss Craig so much but am happy we had him every night for as long as we did. I enjoy Seth and Amber’s Shows now but no one has a skeleton robot sidekick. 😋💜
@@shay2218 He originally planned to leave after 7, 7 1/2 years, but was persuaded by the CBS brass to stay on a bit longer, thus his decade-long (01 of 2005 through 12 of 2014) stint. Glad he had as well.
Probably no funnier television than the handful of times Robin Williams came on CF's show. It was literally the two of them just going back and forth and CF was probably the only talk shown host that could keep up with Robin.
Mujibur and Sirajul, with the help of Dave's Mom drop a safe onto a Buick. Who could make Larry Bud Melman into a Superhero? Dave who? .. Say his name.
I started to tear up as soon as I saw the Much Loved Guy Craig! Man Craig, I miss seeing you every night. I'd be happy seeing ya a few times a year Bucko.
Craig was the last of the really funny late night hosts and it was a darn shame he walked away from it (I know, he wanted to). TV sorely misses him now, but you can't blame a fella for wanting to enjoy life either, so... It's good to see him in good spirits and sharp as ever, though.
Craig is the best. I still watch episodes of his late late show weekly on UA-cam. The man had a way with words and with people that few posses. He is sorely missed! Glad to see he is healthy and happy.
Just his ability to "not" read or study cue-cards on his desk or anywhere is the "closest" we've seen to Johnny Carson. He is/was soooooo funny and such a joy as a talk show host. Truly . . . . one of a kind, unlike all!!! So happy to have enjoyed him the years he chose to hold the position.
I was just checked Jay's older episodes and ran across this true gem. Craig Ferguson is one of the naturally funniest people alive. Much like Jay. I was happy to see Craig had given up drinking in 1992 which makes his late night show stunts all that much funnier. 9:08 Craig and Jay agree on one of the fundamental truths about engineering, flying and cars. Two true legends of comedy bonding over the suffering of a British gearbox in a lovely Morris Minor station wagon. Life really does not get better then that.
Craig's interview with a pregnant Kristen Bell is the finest late-night celebrity interview I have ever seen. Just pure genius from start to end. Add in his legendary monologue on Britney Spears (which was heart-rending and powerful and the time, and incredibly prescient now), and you understand why many regard him as one of the greatest late-night hosts ever.
Craig Ferguson is sorely missed. James Corden is about as funny as receiving a javelin to the eyeball. What a shame he’s no longer doing his show. They should have given him Letterman’s show when he retired (although Craig was paid off handsomely)
He was kicked out the UK for being an arrogant podgy little twt !!!attacking big names like Patrick Stewart will have you thrown out the UK quicker than you can say "no talent pie eater" !!
The trouble is Craig didnt want to go on, they wouldve thrown more money at him gladly but if the host themselves wants to walk away theres not much you can do about it.
Craig’s “not my car” comment reminded me of a joke I heard not long ago. What’s the difference between a rental car and a 4x4? There are just some things you won’t do in a 4x4.
These two together were just great. Craig is the funniest talk show host to have ever hit the tube. I still don't understand how a man could be that good-looking.
And I do not understand, how a man given his great looks and talent, could have seriously contemplated suicide as a younger man--it must have been the alcohol. So proud of him for beating the addiction!
Man, how I miss Craig! His talk show was just edgy and a blast to watch. He’s kinda like Robin Williams, you never know what you gonna get every time you see him. Leno and Craig, two of the legends 👍🏼👍🏼
Man, Craig is a legend. He was my favorite late night host and I used to watch his show every week. Good times, and I miss him being on TV! One of the funniest and realest guys, ever!
The Morris Minor 1000 was the luxury version of the Minor... My father-in-law has a Morris Minor 850 - one less chipmunk than the 1000. His example ate its transmission and he got a "new transmission" from a scrap yard, of course, but it was the transmission from a 1000, which didn't quite exactly match up with the 850 motor. We had to make a big hole in the bell housing to allow the flywheel to turn. I remember him getting cigarettes off me as we worked on the car - he told his wife he had quit, so he had to be really careful she couldn't see him. It was seriously childish, as he was in many ways... He also couldn't go home to the city he was born in because some of his old mates thought he'd murdered someone without sufficient reason and got off on a technicality, which they would have remedied with extreme prejudice. Still, I have plenty of good memories of these cars.
I loved the food joke. Brought back memories. In my residential college at university this stunning slim tall blond sat next to me in the TV room. After talking for a while I asked her back to my room to have a cheese toasty. We have now been together for 50 years. :)
There are many workshops in Sri Lanka renovating and rebuilding Minors. Basically, they can keep them on the road indefinitely. When a UK company that restores Minors for the UK market wanted new body panels it actually set up a factory in SL to make them. There's also a great fast forward vid on YT of a young Sri Lankan engineer disassembling and rebuilding the A series engine.
Actually, he has allowed Dennis Gauge of My Classic Car to come over and drive his cars on for his MCC show though he often starts out in the drivers seat then later allows Dennis to take over driving. One car he has never allowed anyone else to drive is the is his McLaren F1, largely due to insane value these cars hold today (one recent,y sold for $20 million at auction). So it’s not strictly true no one is ever allowed to drive his cars other the him with the exception of certain special/vary rare/unusual cars in his collection.
@@Charlesb88 I remember watching an episode where Jay tossed the keys to one of his Duesenbergs to Dennis. Dennis's jaw just about hit the floor and then they took this beauty out on the road. Can't imagine driving a 2+ million dollar car amongst the idiots in LA.
@@darrelljourdan3687 In the case of My Classic Car, the producer of that show always prearrange what cars Dennis will get to look at and whether he will be able to drive them. That way he never ask "Can I drive?" and gets a no in response. If he can't drive the car in question then either the owner drives it or they just look at it but he can drive another car instead. rarely does he not drive at least one car unless it a car show episode where he just talks with the owners about their cars and has then show them off. When Dennis acts shocked, that most likely him pretending to be shocked as part of the act so it looks like the whole thing is unplanned. There may not be a script but their is general plan for the segment prearranged. So I'm pretty sure Dennis knew if Jay was Ok with him driving that particular car before the cameras rolled and just fake surprise. It's too risky to leave this sort of thing to chance with this type of show.
MORRIS MINOR!!!!! What's better than these two in a Minor? When I was a very little boy, my father bought a Minor 1000. That was like 1962. Love at first sight! If you want to take me back to my childhood and Hearn me coo like a baby, being in a Minor. Would someone please buy me one of these?
Love it. Craig goes straight after Jay with no Fcks to give. "Can I have this car". Love it. Everyone else is in awe of Jay and kisses up constantly. Craig treats him like one of the boys and then drives Jay's car like he stole it. Pure comic genius. Best thing to tell the ultimate car guy, "I'm into airplanes".
When I first moved to London from Scotland , I actually bought 5 of these at once. The Saloon, van, traveller,truck and a customised one. I had the van as it was the only UK vehicle you could fit a drum kit in in the 70s
I had a 1953 Morris Minor, absolutely cracking car, perfect for pre motorway (highway) driving. Cheap to run, you can fix everything yourself, comfortable and economical. And it would do 60 mph.
My two favorite comedians of all time!!! I miss Craig Ferguson and his humor on late night TV SO much! But WAIT!!! WHY isn't Jay wearing a denim shirt?
My family had one of these when I was young, 50 years ago. Great car, used for carrying scavenged wood for the fire, deer my dad shot, and my three sisters and me. I usually ended up in the back. No car seats then. When it finally gave up the ghost dad sold it to a farmer to use as a hen coop.
Our first car in Montreal was a 1952 Morris Oxford, used, in about 1956. Loved the leather interior and the flip out window post directional indicators. Ahh the memories. At the same time our family friends has a Minor-you only had to adjust the valves once a week!
My Dad had three of these in his youth in Ireland. He had them all at the same time. One which ran, kinda, and two donors, which eventually disappeared. Simple times.
One of my aunts had a Morris Minor convertible in the mid to late 1950s. It was the model before the Minor 1000. Split windscreen. She used to drive it most of the time with her right foot fully planted on the accelerator. They weren't very powerful, but they were a good car.
To be fair I look like that when Jay gets handsy touching the paint all over all these old cars, right in front of the owner. Can't tell the King of car guys anything though lol
My grandmother had a Morris minor. Dad taught her to drive when she was 65, and she wasn’t very good at it (mainly forgot to use the brakes). It was the first car I learned to drive - I was 7 years old and a better driver than Nana. 😎
Great video. Craig F is very funny. It runs in his family. About 17 years ago I was on a long-haul flight next to his aunt and uncle. She was very very funny, especially after a few little bottles.
Holy crap. I was in Sri Lanka in 1991 and this is absolutely true. Morris Minors were everywhere and lovingly maintained. There were also lots of classic British bikes there too…. Now back to watching the video 😜
Never thought I’d see Jay [and Craig] in a Moggy Traveller. Mini Moke, Austin Maxi & 1800, Hillman Hunter & Avenger, Vauxhall Victor, Ventora & VX4/90 FD/FE and Triumph Dolomite Sprint, Spitfire & Stag next please. 😋🤘
Picking up my FJ at my service guy’s shop and saw him about to lean way over the hood to put on the center windshield wiper blade (there are three) - I jumped outta my van and yelled “you better take off your belt before you do that!” 🙄😁 He knows better…
What a lovely restoration of a moggy minor. Lived on the street one over from where Craig grew up in Cumbernauld, I don’t think that car had enough oooomph to get up that hill 😃 This was cool to watch.
Last time I saw Craig, he was trying to get an increase limit on his overdraft in the Bank that used to be at the beginning of Great Western road, he got a knockback, 🤣🤣
A classic old car. An era when you where never in a hurry to be anywhere and never in a hurry to slow down either! Every 50's and 60's car dictated that fact!
I moved to England in the early 80s the first moggy I saw was a two door that had a pontiac 400 under the bonnet, the owner drove her from the back seat, I have wanted one since then.
The Morris Minor has been my favorite little car since I first saw one in the early 60s, parked in a yard I passed walking to and from school - looked like a bug with S.T.Y.L.E. I heard the engine wasn't so hot so a lot of people traded it out. I'm glad Jay has one in his collection!
Actually, the 1275cc engine was a good enough mover for this car...they just were not really built to be freeway cruisers, my brother owned one many years ago, and that car simply could not cruise at 60 mph...the sweet spot was more like 50mph.
This takes me way back, my 7th-8th and 9th grade shop teacher Mr Beard had one of these. Had coke bottle mags, bright orange or maybe red with the wood trim I think? We shop guys thought it was the coolest car ever. Course that was in the mid 70s and there was a lot going on 😎
I learned to drive in my Dad's 1971 Morris Traveller (glacier white ; one of the last 250 built). It was my pride and joy at 18. And yeah, if you can drive that car, you can drive pretty much anything . Great memories. Jay ; it looks like yours has a 1275 motor in it - such a great upgrade given the size of the engine bay. Thank you
That moggie reminds me of a Dame Edna show years ago, she wasn’t the street talking about historic England and pointed to a Morris Traveller and said look a genuine half timbered car.
Every time I see Craigy Ferg he just makes me happy. What a dude.
“What a dude”
A couple of years ago..
Bumped into Craig. Here in Australia.. in a place called the rock's.. said hi. And we had a couple of beers..
Just after that he new he had to stop drinking..
Yeah Craig Ferguson is a nice guy.. and so when he makes people laugh even in the slightest, they think he's hilarious because he's nice.
I always expect to see Geoff Peterson when Craig is around.
Jay's visible anxiety over the health of the clutch kinda killed this segment. Ever the pill next to Craig's sunny hilarious self.
Craig was one of the best late night talk show hosts, his monologues went on forever and were hilarious. he made the rest of them look lazy and predictable.
Compared him to Seth Myers lol
And ..... he's soooo easy on the eyes if you don't mind my irreverence..
I miss Craig.. I hope he does another talk show..
I miss Craig so much but am happy we had him every night for as long as we did. I enjoy Seth and Amber’s Shows now but no one has a skeleton robot sidekick. 😋💜

I still watch reruns of The Late Late Show. The funniest, most irreverent TV ever. Miss you Craig!
Jay Leno Fly?
@@blazodeolireta lol nailed it
One of the worst "talk" shows ever produced...mercifully, it's gone
@@tommyriam8320 we mercifully hope you're gone soon, too
Love Jay Leno fly! Forever! ❤
"Jay it's David letterman let me in" killed me
Craig's show was so underrated. He was my favorite
"Ah, smell that clutch."
"Not my car."
I freaking love this guy.
I busted up laughing as I'm sure many others did likewise at that moment.
Love and Respect for Craig... oh and some of both for Jay too LOL!
Craig is definitely a rebel. His rebellion against the late night show was impeccable
But we miss him
A genuinely funny and likeable man and a giant of late night television. And Jay Leno.
Team Conan
Dreyno: Yep. I wish Conan or David Letterman was in the car with Craig instead.
Conan failed..... total fail.@@trutle88
Leno was the late night giant... not CF lol. Hilarious.
@@bobabooey4537 I can see why you’d be a Leno fan, what with your wit and astuteness 😐
Miss his show! Craig’s monologues were the funniest ever in late night❗️ sorry Jay😁
Probably no funnier television than the handful of times Robin Williams came on CF's show. It was literally the two of them just going back and forth and CF was probably the only talk shown host that could keep up with Robin.
Jay knows he's not funnier than Craig.

I started to tear up as soon as I saw the Much Loved Guy Craig! Man Craig, I miss seeing you every night. I'd be happy seeing ya a few times a year Bucko.
Craig took 5 years off that clutches life and 15 years off of Leno’s.
And his reply was,"I think your judging me" classic Craig!
No synchromesh
Like a man shanking the handle of your axe.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
@@RichardPiper01 It had in the original .Its just Craig .

TV sorely misses him now, but you can't blame a fella for wanting to enjoy life either, so...
It's good to see him in good spirits and sharp as ever, though.
I think Craig seen the “woke” mob forming and decided to bail,his show would get canceled today
WEll said. He was hilarious. I still watch his UA-cam vids. They're the best :)
Thank Letterman, too. After all, it was his "other" show.
We did have Conan too
He’s got his new game show the shautle
Craig is the best. I still watch episodes of his late late show weekly on UA-cam. The man had a way with words and with people that few posses. He is sorely missed! Glad to see he is healthy and happy.
The 0 to 60 in 33.2 seconds is pretty funny. Do they really need the 0.2 at the end at that point? Lol
It' so you know you can totally smoke the bloke whose car takes 33.4"
Slower than a Ford anglia… thank god 😂
My late brother had a Minor, and used to drag race VW Bugs at street lights...he usually lost!
Craig and Geoff , best comedy team EVER !
BALLS!
"Smell that clutch." "Not my car." Gütt Vônne!
Sorry...but it was not funny to see him drive Jay's vehicle so carelessly...
There is no replacement to Craig. Each late night show host brings their own spin but Craig was on another level.
He, and conan, remain the most unique, and funniest hosts ever on TV.
“You wearing denim? Denim pants, denim shirt? Are ya?” Hahaha 🤣 I miss Craig
It's funny. Wearing double denim like that is referred to as a "Canadian Tuxedo" but Jay is as American as they come, lol.
Jay and Craig REALLY play off each other well. It's magic! I want to see the movie! Get to it.
Boy do I miss Craig’s show! He was the best talk host..loved his show.❤️❤️
Just his ability to "not" read or study cue-cards on his desk or anywhere is the "closest" we've seen to Johnny Carson. He is/was soooooo funny and such a joy as a talk show host. Truly . . . . one of a kind, unlike all!!! So happy to have enjoyed him the years he chose to hold the position.
I was just checked Jay's older episodes and ran across this true gem.
Craig Ferguson is one of the naturally funniest people alive.
Much like Jay.
I was happy to see Craig had given up drinking in 1992 which makes his late night show stunts all that much funnier.
9:08 Craig and Jay agree on one of the fundamental truths about engineering, flying and cars.
Two true legends of comedy bonding over the suffering of a British gearbox in a lovely Morris Minor station wagon.
Life really does not get better then that.
This only being 10 minutes long is a crime, but I loved every minute of it
Craig's interview with a pregnant Kristen Bell is the finest late-night celebrity interview I have ever seen. Just pure genius from start to end. Add in his legendary monologue on Britney Spears (which was heart-rending and powerful and the time, and incredibly prescient now), and you understand why many regard him as one of the greatest late-night hosts ever.
Whenever Kristen Bell was on I would be like "Yes! This is going to be good" :)
And about 100% unscripted...which is brilliant.
Two very quick and talented people that seem to do it effortless love them both thank you for the show.
Craig Ferguson is sorely missed. James Corden is about as funny as receiving a javelin to the eyeball.
What a shame he’s no longer doing his show. They should have given him Letterman’s show when he retired (although Craig was paid off handsomely)
LOL Now that is a well placed jab! Ouch!
LOl i find James the same its why im glad hes gone to the USA hehe

The rental car will go anywhere
I'm careful with rental cars. I just can't abuse a car, even if it's not mine.
What car goes fastest off-road?
A rental car.

He was the GOAT , literally the only late night show I ever watched consistently. I miss him so much
That was a beautiful line- " My dad must have been smaller than I remembered him." All the good ones were.
I hate cars, I don't even drive, but I'm still watching this because watching Craig's been one of the few things that cheer my day up lately.
Craig was the best on Late Night. No politics. Just pure humor and the best interview skills. Especially with women!
He actually had politics on. He had monologues about politics. But not exclusively and at a less political time...

I have had four Morris Minors in the last 50 years: two in Britain and two in North America. Brilliant little car.

So did they do left hand drive? I was wondering seeing this or if Leno remade it.
@@janetmckenna_lowry Yes , plenty LHD minors out there .
Man I've missed Craig Ferguson
All these guys praising Craig, and it's deserved. But Jay is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME ❤😊
Minors were used as taxis back in 1990 here in SL. We still have lots of them still running like new.
Interesting.
I saw those in India. Known as either a Hindustan Ambassador, or Padmini Premier.
The Ambassador was based on the Morris Oxford, a bigger car than the Minor, the Premier was based on the Fiat 1100
There are many workshops in Sri Lanka renovating and rebuilding Minors. Basically, they can keep them on the road indefinitely.

You’ve gotta have conflict for real comedy and these two are perfect together. They’d be a great team.
I’m glad to see these two as friends. From Craig’s final Late Late show with Jay Leno as guest to driving antique cars while telling family stories :)

He had a premonition that Craig would give him some crap about it.
I LOVE & MISS CRAIG FERGISON! Such a funny man. Any chance of doing a follow up with the Ford Bronco Craig gave Jay a few years ago?
They did a video on it awhile back. If I am not mistaken they put the new GT500 engine in it amongst other restoration details.
Ferguson & Leno together, UNSTOPPABLE! And funny as you can EVER ask for!!!
LoL
First (and probably last) time you'll ever see someone leaning on one of Jay's cars. Love Craig. Miss him and his skeleton sidekick.
And Secretariat! :-)
Two comedians in a 1960 Morris Minor, gotta Love It!
You're just having too much fun and I love it...thank you!

My Dad had three of these in his youth in Ireland. He had them all at the same time. One which ran, kinda, and two donors, which eventually disappeared. Simple times.
Ferguson has the wisdom of a man who has made a lot of mistakes in life and learned from every one of them.
Craig was the realest host ever in Late Nite history. The best part about being real is that you need to hide your identity.
One of my aunts had a Morris Minor convertible in the mid to late 1950s. It was the model before the Minor 1000. Split windscreen. She used to drive it most of the time with her right foot fully planted on the accelerator. They weren't very powerful, but they were a good car.
The look on Leno’s face while Ferguson smoked his clutch a ground the gearbox. Ferguson might be good with the ladies but not British cars!
Mos mos je bent n Vos.
@@sjefhendrickx2257, Dutch?
To be fair I look like that when Jay gets handsy touching the paint all over all these old cars, right in front of the owner. Can't tell the King of car guys anything though lol
As soon as I heard that crunch I knew he'd tried to put it in first while the car was moving--no synchromesh on first gear in these cars!
These two( two gether) what a prize pair❤
So Happy to see Craig!!
Great to hear that unique Morris Minor burbling exhaust note (in between the gearbox crunches😂)! Love it! ❤️
My grandmother had a Morris minor. Dad taught her to drive when she was 65, and she wasn’t very good at it (mainly forgot to use the brakes). It was the first car I learned to drive - I was 7 years old and a better driver than Nana. 😎
Great video. Craig F is very funny. It runs in his family. About 17 years ago I was on a long-haul flight next to his aunt and uncle. She was very very funny, especially after a few little bottles.
Holy crap. I was in Sri Lanka in 1991 and this is absolutely true. Morris Minors were everywhere and lovingly maintained. There were also lots of classic British bikes there too…. Now back to watching the video 😜
6:54 "In England you just need a biscuit" - still true to this day. But don't skimp on the biscuit.
Never thought I’d see Jay [and Craig] in a Moggy Traveller. Mini Moke, Austin Maxi & 1800, Hillman Hunter & Avenger, Vauxhall Victor, Ventora & VX4/90 FD/FE and Triumph Dolomite Sprint, Spitfire & Stag next please. 😋🤘
OMG! By best friends dad had this car! This brings back So Many GREAT Memories! THANK YOU.❤️😢
Craig resting on the car, Leno must have been going crazy inside.
Picking up my FJ at my service guy’s shop and saw him about to lean way over the hood to put on the center windshield wiper blade (there are three) - I jumped outta my van and yelled “you better take off your belt before you do that!” 🙄😁 He knows better…
Leno does the same thing all the time - I don't think he cares, but it drives me nuts.
@@eurekamarijka haha! I thought that too, and I’m sure Craig did it completely on purpose….
Jay does it all the time and he's always wearing jeans lol. It bugs the crao out of me when people lean on cars like that
Miss this guy!!!! There was a tuning firm somewhere in England fitting Alfa twincams into Morris’s, always wanted one
With that anemic suspension? You wouldn't so much steer the thing as aim it! LOL
An Alfa Twincam would be nearly as unreliable as the original engine...I would go for maybe a Japanese engine.
What a lovely restoration of a moggy minor.
Lived on the street one over from where Craig grew up in Cumbernauld, I don’t think that car had enough oooomph to get up that hill 😃
This was cool to watch.
Ha, sunny Cumbernauld, one of those towns people couldn’t wait to grow up and leave as soon as humanly possible!
Last time I saw Craig, he was trying to get an increase limit on his overdraft in the Bank that used to be at the beginning of Great Western road, he got a knockback, 🤣🤣
I'm impressed...Jay didn't bounce him out of the seat after the clutch odor permeated the air...great video, as always
A classic old car. An era when you where never in a hurry to be anywhere and never in a hurry to slow down either! Every 50's and 60's car dictated that fact!
Yep, Dad had a 53 Desoto. I was thrilled when he let me drive it in high school in late 60s. Even parked with Vettes and GTOs at the drive-in.
I moved to England in the early 80s the first moggy I saw was a two door that had a pontiac 400 under the bonnet, the owner drove her from the back seat, I have wanted one since then.
The Morris Minor has been my favorite little car since I first saw one in the early 60s, parked in a yard I passed walking to and from school - looked like a bug with S.T.Y.L.E. I heard the engine wasn't so hot so a lot of people traded it out. I'm glad Jay has one in his collection!
This car is now on E bay. The seller says he owns it and rented it to Jay , just to do this show.
Actually, the 1275cc engine was a good enough mover for this car...they just were not really built to be freeway cruisers, my brother owned one many years ago, and that car simply could not cruise at 60 mph...the sweet spot was more like 50mph.
This takes me way back, my 7th-8th and 9th grade shop teacher Mr Beard had one of these. Had coke bottle mags, bright orange or maybe red with the wood trim I think? We shop guys thought it was the coolest car ever. Course that was in the mid 70s and there was a lot going on 😎
Craig Ferguson, the most underrated talk show host ever to appear on American television.
Everyone in this thread is saying how great he was on his top rated show. What part of that suggests to you that he was underrated, moron?
@@markfox1545 Why did you have to call me a moron?
I learned to drive in my Dad's 1971 Morris Traveller (glacier white ; one of the last 250 built). It was my pride and joy at 18. And yeah, if you can drive that car, you can drive pretty much anything . Great memories. Jay ; it looks like yours has a 1275 motor in it - such a great upgrade given the size of the engine bay. Thank you
Fun odd fact, the Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger insurgents made single shot ‘shotguns’ using the Morris’s steering columns.
Chinese used Bamboo as the first Gun Barrel..
Whoa never knew that 😳
@@graemejohnson9025 Similar to Captain Kirk's mineral shotgun he used against the Gorn.
Craig is perhaps the quickest comedian today 👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That moggie reminds me of a Dame Edna show years ago, she wasn’t the street talking about historic England and pointed to a Morris Traveller and said look a genuine half timbered car.
Only guest to come on Jay's show and lean on one of his cars. LOL
3:59 When Craig leans against the car and Leno says, "right"... I like to think I know what Leno was actually thinking. 😁
I've seen Jay leaning on, touching a car someone brought in and they just got through telling him...It just left the paint booth before coming there.
Craig ferguson is hilarious. His talk-show style was so uniquely playful yet relaxed.
