When he talks about his dad touching his head it makes me cry :( Craig is so honest and open, it's so refreshing especially in the world of entertainment. He shows that celebrities are not flawless because at the end of the day we all hurt and experience pain in our lives but also joy and laughter. ....and Craig makes me laugh!
Craig, so sorry for your loss, but remember your Dad is always with you. My Dad lived to 90, dying in 1999, and I think of and miss him, every day. Thank you for sharing, and being so honest about your feelings. Bless you!
Now if only our world leaders could draw such empathy from others..... Great video. Craig puts us right in the moment with him; what a nice way to live.
Real Tears show that you are real man Craig, Sorry for the Loss, Without his Dad Robert, we will not know how wonderful his Son CRAIG is. GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM.
I have seen him in person.And he seemed like a wonderful person. I feel bad for him, but it's good that he loved his father so much. I envy him in so many ways.
I´m from Sweden and me and my father also never said "I love you" or something like that. Except when he was lying on the hospital bed hours before dying I leaned down and hugged him and he said "-I love you", I burst into tears and said "-I love you to, please get better". Unfortunately he died just an hour later (he was an alcoholic and drank himself to death at the age of 52). But those last words and that last moment is so important to me...
Truly sad and my heart and prayers go out to you Craig. I lost my father 2 years ago at the age of 25 and I'm still heart broken, hold on to all the good memories.
I have so much respect for him... there are no words to describe. He definitely didn't deserve for anything like this to happen to him, and being able to talk about it on TV must take so much bravery. Thank you, Craig.
It took courage for him to get in front of the world and talk about his father. And it took strength to fight back the emotion. I only thought I liked him! After seeing this, he's now my favorite person second only to my dad.
God this breaks my heart. Reminds me so much of my own dad...the old country and all that...no matter how old you are when you lose your parents...does it get easier?
Before each of his parents passed - his show began just in time to get me thru the passing of my mom in 2005. Then seeing him be genuine enough to honor his father, then mother made him, without question, THE BEST. THANK YOU CRAIG, FOR BEING YOU! (They'd have to have a special category in the Emmy Awards for him, and they know it
Just ripped a piece of my heart out w/your love for your Dad. I miss my parents everyday and they've been gone since '97 & '01. I am so impressed w/Craig's honesty and I'm not sure if he would be the man that I enjoy if he was not sober. Sober has been good for Craig. xo
Wow. This is a fantastic clip. I love this guy. I can't believe I've never seen his show before. I've spent the whole morning watching hilarious clips from his show and then I get to this one, and my respect for him has just gone way up.
Craig just comes off as such a classy and totally honest person on television, which is so rare these days. And I mean, he still manages to be hilarious.
I don't watch the late late show to laugh. I watch the show every night because I feel like Craig is an old friend I get to visit. After reading his book, I feel like I know this man. His honesty about his own life disarms me and makes me see my failures less as failures and my potential to succeed beyond my wildest dreams as possible. I know lately he appears to other people as not enjoying doing the show, and I wish he could see these messages and how he has affected people.
wow. i cried when he cried. i've known what kind of a person craig is since i first saw his show, and he my impression has never changed. he's a great man. he reminds me of my own dad in so many ways.
when i was watching this it made me think of my great grandmother she died a few years ago when i was 9 or 10. when i saw this it made me wish that i was closer to her cause when i was younger i didnt care about anything but now i wish i knew her
I can't stand to see him in pain. No matter what causes it. I know what it feels like to loose someone but not my father Craig just know we love you and that you are the best at what you do.
I think that this episode is one of the greatest hours of television I have ever seen. What an incredibly brave thing, to come out the day after your father passes away. This was a very moving tribute, and I'm sure that Craig's dad was never prouder.
I don't watch the late late show to laugh. I watch the show every night because I feel like Craig is an old friend I get to visit. After reading his book, I feel like I know this man. His honesty about his own life and show of vulnerability disarms me. Now I see my failures less as failures and my potential to succeed beyond my wildest dreams as possible. I know lately he appears to be less excited about doing the show, and I wish he could see these messages and how he has affected people.
My heart goes out to him. I know it was two years ago, but still, it's hard losing someone. I know it would be horrible for me if I lost my dad, because he and I share such a bond. Craig is such a great man. His father raised him well. :)
arhh , I feel for him (anyone in that situation) and envy them as my father left me when i was 4 & even though he is still alive (remarried kids etc) he has or wants nothing to do with me ,I am 40 now and it still hurts me day by day...
Omg, poor Craig :'-( I just wanted to give him a huge hug and let him cry on my shoulder the whole time I watched this video. The part about his dad putting his hand on Craig's head made me misty.
I remember when I saw this on TV, and it brought up so much for me about my own dad's death that I emailed Craig and told him how much it meant to me that he shared this. It especially got to me when he talked about how his dad put his hand on his head.
The interview Craig does with Dr. Drew on this same show is fantastic. Just a really nice conversation about how he's dealing with his dad's death. Just search "Drew Pinsky 2.1" There's also a 2.2. Watch both parts. Really touching ...
Oh man. How is he so incredibly awesome?! I mean, he's fricking hilarious and he's genuine and honest and I love him! I wish more people would watch his show. He deserves at least that. I mean, really, he is a billion times greater than Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy kimmel combined.
omg! when i saw that episode i was in tears from start to finish! you feel like you know him when you watch his show every night for months so it hurts to see him hurt. i also felt like i knew his father. bravo to craig for his very moving speech. do you have the whole thing? i would really love to see it all again. also the end w/ his playing w/ the scottish band.
it,s just the way dad,s do thing,s , they love you loads , but they won,t amight it, as your mum will love you to bits, don,t take it to hard, both of them where there for you.
When he started choking up, he had ME tearing up. God, this man is just so incredible. He is the funniest, most honest man I've ever heard of.
When he talks about his dad touching his head it makes me cry :(

Craig, so sorry for your loss, but remember your Dad is always with you. My Dad lived to 90, dying in 1999, and I think of and miss him, every day. Thank you for sharing, and being so honest about your feelings. Bless you!
The way he hesitates when talking about his dad putting his hand on his head - oh my. Craig is so real. No wonder his fans feel so close to him.
dear god he really sounds scottish here. Compared to how he sounds now it's astounishing
Dirk Reurslag he's being absolutely real
He always sounded West Coast Scottish to me. But I'm from the west of Scotland, too. Rest in Paradise Robert Ferguson. 🙏
❤ 🏴 ❤
Poor guy... also you can see how moved he is because his accent gets stronger the more emotional he is. It's amazing the things he talks about on air.
I admire him for expressing his feelings about his dad. Very touching and so refreshing to see. He's great!
this is so touching and sweet. it's amazng how he's so honest on tv... gotta love him!
Thanks Craig...my condolences...seeing the man you are now makes me wish I had known your father.
craig ferguson is the fuggin man.
that kind of genuine honesty is almost nonexistent today.
I lost my Father this July 2007. I was 37, he was 57. "My heart is broken...", I know that feeling.
Now if only our world leaders could draw such empathy from others.....
Great video. Craig puts us right in the moment with him; what a nice way to live.
i love how he says his father just said "ahhaaaay" somehow that expression just sounds soo scottish. RIP Robert Ferguson
Real Tears show that you are real man Craig, Sorry for the Loss, Without his Dad Robert, we will not know how wonderful his Son CRAIG is. GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM.
This makes me cry everytime. I wish the whole monlogue would've been on here, though. Very touching.
very touching, thats why we need to cherish the every minutes being together with our father.
I`m from Netherland, my Dad does the same with me. But i just see him one time in the month.. Love the Family !
I have seen him in person.And he seemed like a wonderful person. I feel bad for him, but it's good that he loved his father so much. I envy him in so many ways.
I´m from Sweden and me and my father also never said "I love you" or something like that.

Unfortunately he died just an hour later (he was an alcoholic and drank himself to death at the age of 52).
But those last words and that last moment is so important to me...
when i saw this my hands were shaking and i almost cried with him bless you craig
Wow, thanks for sharing these memories. Truly a class act.
Truly sad and my heart and prayers go out to you Craig. I lost my father 2 years ago at the age of 25 and I'm still heart broken, hold on to all the good memories.
Yeah. My dad died just about two years ago as well. I miss him all the time but the pain is much less acute now. I hope you feel the same way.
I have so much respect for him... there are no words to describe. He definitely didn't deserve for anything like this to happen to him, and being able to talk about it on TV must take so much bravery. Thank you, Craig.
It took courage for him to get in front of the world and talk about his father. And it took strength to fight back the emotion. I only thought I liked him! After seeing this, he's now my favorite person second only to my dad.
God this breaks my heart. Reminds me so much of my own dad...the old country and all that...no matter how old you are when you lose your parents...does it get easier?
He's so amazing. How many people can give a touching eulogy and still entertain? ILY, Craig!
Best show host ever. This guy is going to be the next big host for primetime!
1:20 to 1:50 is a real tear jerker, I love craig, great to see real emotion in all its beauty on tv
Before each of his parents passed - his show began just in time to get me thru the passing of my mom in 2005. Then seeing him be genuine enough to honor his father, then mother made him, without question, THE BEST. THANK YOU CRAIG, FOR BEING YOU!

he's a good man!
I hope his stock keeps rising in the U.S.
what a delight to watch this man.
This made me cry. I feel for him.
I don't watch the late late show to laugh. I watch the show every night because I feel like Craig is an old friend I get to visit. After reading his book, I feel like I know this man.

wow. i cried when he cried.
i've known what kind of a person craig is since i first saw his show, and he my impression has never changed. he's a great man.
he reminds me of my own dad in so many ways.
I had the same kind of relationship with my dad, Brought tears to my eyes.
when i was watching this it made me think of my great grandmother she died a few years ago when i was 9 or 10. when i saw this it made me wish that i was closer to her cause when i was younger i didnt care about anything but now i wish i knew her
Graig Ferguson is amazing,
I actually shed a few tears when i saw this, ..he's so genuine and original as always.
I like Craig so much, he is a great comedian, actor, and he has a Heart!
He is emotional, and caring.
You can tell that Craig's accent is more scottish then than it is now. Even though this happened four years ago, it still made my eyes watery.
I can't stand to see him in pain. No matter what causes it. I know what it feels like to loose someone but not my father
Craig just know we love you and that you are the best at what you do.
I think that this episode is one of the greatest hours of television I have ever seen. What an incredibly brave thing, to come out the day after your father passes away. This was a very moving tribute, and I'm sure that Craig's dad was never prouder.
Theres no other talk show host like craig :)
Thanks craig for sharing your heart with us.
"my heart's broken" oh man...Thank you Craig, for sharing that.

I cried at the part when he was talking about his dad putting his hand on his head :'] *I know, this is like, a year late XD;;*
My heart goes out to him. I know it was two years ago, but still, it's hard losing someone. I know it would be horrible for me if I lost my dad, because he and I share such a bond.
Craig is such a great man. His father raised him well. :)

heart breaking. Craig Ferguson...you the man.
I know this is three years late, but my sympathies to Craig's family in the death of his father. We love Craig.
I think anyone who watches this guy's show appreciates he does things differently
I love your boldness Craig.
I really like craig n feel for his loss. :( my waterworks went off as he struggled n choked talking of his childhood memories with his father.
Omg, poor Craig :'-(
I just wanted to give him a huge hug and let him cry on my shoulder the whole time I watched this video. The part about his dad putting his hand on Craig's head made me misty.
Poor guy.
What a great comedian.
This chokes me up every time.
The whole monologue is even more amazing.
We respect you so so much Craig. Run Craig run.
Craig Ferguson, I love you.
