Like many over here in Britain - I never saw Craig when he was actually hosting the show... Having stumbled across him on UA-cam - I have started to appreciate his genius - what an amazingly talent...
I managed to see him live once years ago. He's a real force of nature - similar vibration to Robin Williams. He comes in and absolutely dominates the stage/set for about an hour -- had to cut and reset a few times and he was straight back on it - proper professional and master of his craft. Rare gem in showbiz for sure
I used to watch Conan, then when he went to the Tonight Show, I started watching Ferguson. While all the other talk shows were interviewing A-list movie stars and so forth, Craig constantly had on Carrie Fisher, William Shatner, all these hilarious old-school people you wouldn’t normally see on a late night show. I thought that was amazing.
He was the last great late night comic.. They have all been hijacked now by an hour of Trump bashing repeating the same one liners over and over again regardless of if you like Trump or not.. They've destroyed originality and forget about funny, you can only say the same joke's for so long about the same PERSON before you run your shoe into the ground and that's what they've all done.. Good riddance and with the cancel culture of today Ferguson wouldn't have a prayer wouldn't last five minutes. The feminazis would be going crazy since flirting with a girl like we've done since crawling out of the water is now basically sexual assault.. Good bye any good comedy from here on out..
If you're a fan of watching these, search not only for Kristen's appearances but also Mila Kunis. Craig is great with both, and they're both personal friends of his. I think Mila was on almost as many episodes as Kristen was.
@@Graxster Hi there. I had to binge watch these on UA-cam because I live in England and never saw the show on TV. I really enjoyed his Scotland shows with Mila, Ariel and Michael (RIP). It's true what you say that he and all his friends are just a hoot to watch and he really appreciates them. As we all should. Take care, Graxster.
Towards the end, the show got a little dry, you could tell he was over it. I remember when Kilborn left and he came on and his energy would pull you in.
@@Matthew075 Out of curiosity, is that the actual fact? That's always kind of been my own personal _assumption,_ though I've never had any idea if it was actually the case. My thinking was, since Letterman had a lot of pull with CBS, Craig probably got some latitude with the racier bits, keeping the censors busy and whatnot. It made sense because of the timing, I got the impression that without Dave around telling the execs to relax, Craig would have had to become as bland as his replacement. I miss this show terribly, but best he left on a high note, I can't watch TLLS anymore, Cordon occasionally has a moment, but for the most part, I think of him as "British Jimmy Fallon", _yawn._
@@abortretryfail9350 It's what he said in various interviews. Apparently it was a 'perfect storm' of events that he said will never happen again in network television that allowed him to have the show he wanted. Some of the examples he gave was the network didn't promote his show therefore they didn't pay attention to the content, also for a while Dave's company basically owned the show so he was protected and Dave also didn't care about the show. So in short Craig was left out there in no mans land to do whatever he wanted. Check out the recent interviews on Bert Kreischer's podcast and/or yourmomshousepodcast ... he goes into some detail about this.
Craig's Talent is Truly Amazing------ Thank you Les Moonves for giving us Craig Ferguson------ you have blessed the world ----- Craig I Must have an IQ extremely High------ he's so Quick witted and creative.....GREATFUL to the guy who published all these shows.....grateful to God for putting Craig on earth at this time to make us all laugh.......it's like he's THE BEATLES all rolled up in one man.
Another strong episode. Craig & Geoff were great during the monologue. House of Lies was a great show during a particularly creative period for Showtime. They should've talked about it more. Louie Anderson is still hilarious. He was great on "Baskets" as the mom. Glad he won an Emmy.
Yeah, Kristen has been a guest most often, but I, too, think that he's had a better chemistry with some others ( Mila Kunis, Kat Dennings, Sarah Paulson, Jon Hamm, Robin Williams...just off the top of my head)
I couldn't wait to stay up past my bed time to watch every night. I'm so glad we can catch up on everything we missed over the years. I didn't even get in cristen until the good place but now I have many years to catch up on her as well
Craig had so many fantastic reoccurring guests (Lindsay Sloane, Rashida Jones, Adam Goldberg, Mila Kunis...too many to mention), and other tv hosts have had a lot of awesome guests as well - but Craig and Kristen will always top them all.
Louie Anderson's hilarious, "of course they're gonna be in the other room, _make this guy go through again, hey Bill, get in here, check this guy out, you'll feel better about yourself... "_ 😂 Not easy to get in and out in that little time, and still kill it.
Funniest thing is that he kind of parodies Scottish - when he actually DOES speak Scottish (like on some of his early stand-up albums), most won't be able to understand a single word... :-D
Watching Craig Ferguson in 2021 is still awesome and never gets old. Also, Kristen Bell is beautiful and doesn't seem to age. Would been interesting if her and Craig hooked up
It's very unusual ,and most people don't think it's possible for a man and a women to be ...just friends.....when they first met she had a crush on him and wanted to marry him ...well ...I suppose you could say, two thirds of the women he has met felt the same .....
He left it wasn't cancelled ... think he felt like after David L left he no longer had protection to be himself.. so he got out BEFORE they kicked him out. Shame really.
He left because he was simply tired of doing the show. It had been 10 years, he felt he had done as much as he could with it, and was ready for something new.
Craig is the funniest man ever doing late night talk shows, even Conan doesn't reach this level.... I wonder why Craig had to leave? Whenever I'm in the mood for late night I'll check his old stuff here on UA-cam before watching anything contemporary. The execs must feelvery proud of themselves. Idiots
Like many over here in Britain - I never saw Craig when he was actually hosting the show... Having stumbled across him on UA-cam - I have started to appreciate his genius - what an amazingly talent...
It was not advertised by CBS, because the airtime was owned by Dave
I managed to see him live once years ago. He's a real force of nature - similar vibration to Robin Williams. He comes in and absolutely dominates the stage/set for about an hour -- had to cut and reset a few times and he was straight back on it - proper professional and master of his craft.

Thank God we have him on UA-cam. And it doesn't hurt to have guests like Kristen Bell; she is hilarious and quick-witted as well.
And easy on the eyes...
@@drkcobraAnd so is Kristen! 🤣
Man I so miss this show. Craig was such a gift to watch each night.
Kristen and Craig have friendship chemistry like no others I've seen. It's wonderful to watch.
If you're a fan of watching these, search not only for Kristen's appearances but also Mila Kunis. Craig is great with both, and they're both personal friends of his. I think Mila was on almost as many episodes as Kristen was.

@@Graxster Also Rashida Jones same thing
shes a cancer
hes a taurus
of course
they hav chemistry
She was always great and funny with Craig!!!
As a 23 year old, I thoroughly enjoy watching Craig and he could have easily done another 10 years
Towards the end, the show got a little dry, you could tell he was over it. I remember when Kilborn left and he came on and his energy would pull you in.
I could watch Craig and Geof banter for hours, what a show. Shame I'm so young and didnt get to follow the actual show.
Absolute genius. This show is unrepeatable in the best way possible!
Their banter is always perfect!! I love them!!
where are you from ?
what are you doing ?
introduce my selft my name is jesus Gpe you give your whatssap
Craig easily could have hosted the show for 20 years. Damn you, CBS...I mean CBS cares.
I'm pretty sure he quit
In an interview he said he took the late night show host thing as far as he could. Sadly, he said he's never do it again.
He couldn't have done THIS kind of show when Dave left .. so he either had to clean up and become boring.. or leave.

How many years ago ? Still laughing my ass off, really miss him,the best ever !😊
Twelve years...
Believe me, I've probably watched all hundreds of clips online...still makes my day. He's brilliant.
Every show is funnier than SNL
I would say equally funny. Also, apples and oranges.
No, both apples and oranges are funnier than SNL.
Still is, even off the air.
@@noy2222OK, that's just hilarious 😂
What is SNL?
the opening credits was easily the best opening credits out of all the late night shows
Another strong episode. Craig & Geoff were great during the monologue. House of Lies was a great show during a particularly creative period for Showtime. They should've talked about it more. Louie Anderson is still hilarious. He was great on "Baskets" as the mom. Glad he won an Emmy.
I have said it before and will say it again Kristen Bell needs her own talk show
Nothin' beat comin' home from work, blaze up and watch the late late show when I was 21/22 years old.
I'm 20 now...and i just can't imagine coming home after work to watch this wonderful show...in the late 90's and early 2000...
Kristen+Craig = always the best combo :)
They are great but i think there are other guests that have better chemistry with him
I don't know man, kristen and craig are great friends.. And also for me is THE BEST COMBO
I mean there are Mila Kunis, Robin Williams, and maybe a few more. But Kristen has the most number of episodes
Yeah, Kristen has been a guest most often, but I, too, think that he's had a better chemistry with some others ( Mila Kunis, Kat Dennings, Sarah Paulson, Jon Hamm, Robin Williams...just off the top of my head)
4:44 "it is of course FRIDAY! I'm very excited about that look: Aaaaahhh (rubs nipples)"
Right there, I died! hahahahahaha
Thanks to the folks that post this. I love this guy
I haven't laughed this hard in a long while. Good stuff, Craig.
1:09 He knew about us! In the future!
Trump 3D !!!! 😂😂😂😂
Who knew that a famous tv business mogul would become one of the best presidents America has ever had?
Jesus Fried Christ 😂
No one, except morons think he's 'the best' 140,000 dead, jackass.
There isn't a better late show.
PSA, there is a vaccine for shingles.They recommend people under 50 get it.
I couldn't wait to stay up past my bed time to watch every night. I'm so glad we can catch up on everything we missed over the years. I didn't even get in cristen until the good place but now I have many years to catch up on her as well
I'm English so never saw this show. But I love watching these on UA-cam. Craigs so funny, I love Mr Peterson and Craig and Kristen = Hot!
This show is old now 😢 but somehow still feel relevant
Also "That's It!" is my new favorite option
Craig had so many fantastic reoccurring guests (Lindsay Sloane, Rashida Jones, Adam Goldberg, Mila Kunis...too many to mention), and other tv hosts have had a lot of awesome guests as well - but Craig and Kristen will always top them all.
Louie Anderson's hilarious, "of course they're gonna be in the other room, _make this guy go through again, hey Bill, get in here, check this guy out, you'll feel better about yourself... "_ 😂
Not easy to get in and out in that little time, and still kill it.
Why do they censor Geoff's mouth when HE uses cuss words?? It's not like we can read his LIPS!! LOL
Because comedy!
Kristen was always the best guest IMO :)
Nope...Jennifer Tilly was far funnier and she ran circles around Craig :-)
Trying to figure out who the soulless 67 people that disliked this are? Man, they must have no happiness.
they're the CBS producers
They're part of a small group of Putin's toadies who are being paid to 'thumbs down' on any popular Western product they can.
A lot of people say to me Craig put your pants on
Hey CLuv! I just had an appendectomy a few days ago 😷. I'm trying so hard not to laugh. It hurts so bad! 😬 "Oww ow ow haha ow ow haha oww" 🤣!
@@leesakat hopefully you’re doing ok, LLSWCF is a great comfort show
The best monologue !!
I LOVE KRISTEN BELL!
Damn, I didnt realize Kristen Bell was so cute. I think I may develop a small crush on her lol
I can't believe people like Jimmy Fallon.
23:53 That's someone's TRUE laugh. That's how you know if someone is comfortable around you and that you're genuinely funny. Top man Craig! 👍👌
21:45 too.
My vaccum cleaner knows too much.... that's gold !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This man managed to turn spitting on the floor entertaining... I love him.
Man these two were on fire that night :)
*Hates puppets but was in a movie about a guy who writes a puppet musical* 😂
Brilliant Comedy
You can feel the chemistry between Kristen Bell and Craig. Never mind that he's married...
Craig's wife looks and talks alot like Kristen.
Why isn't this Late Nite genius on TV now?
The perfect female guest?
Kristin looks amazing.
Kristen is beautiful!
26:13
“Im not braggin, I’m complaining!”🤣
That Trump joke will never age
Charlie Odyssey what do you mean? He's almost 80 already
Never too old to go to jail, where he belongs.
Important Info!!
Get the shingles vaccination. It’s not 100% but if you do get it, it’s much,much easier to deal with.
From 7:38 to 8:38 is freaking AWESOME!
I loved watching him when he was on tv, & he was a great host n funny, & my favorite Late show host after David letterman , I miss Craig’s talk show
She is a fun lady , very pretty. Good show.
My favourite Tweetmail jingle.
This was hands down the LAST talkshow EPISODE ever shown on public television. Its been a slippery slide down to hell from here.
"Can he write?" "You bet he can!" -Ha! 25:29
THAT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY RAGING OPENING !!!
Kristen Bell, she's nice! ❤️
When dogs drag it across the carpet it is known as sledding.
Kristen Bell is the best guest, always!
I like the way they cover Geoff’s mouth with a tiny flag when he cusses
If every man had a Kristen Bel men would walk around with smiles on their faces and lead in their pencils. 👍👍👍
Please come back the Jay Leno Fly.
Funniest thing is that he kind of parodies Scottish - when he actually DOES speak Scottish (like on some of his early stand-up albums), most won't be able to understand a single word... :-D
wheres the uncut version
10:13 Craig Ferguson predicted deepfakes
I loved her since "Heroes" TV series..she is hot as a sun.
Chelsea Handler is always great on the show.
Watching Craig Ferguson in 2021 is still awesome and never gets old. Also, Kristen Bell is beautiful and doesn't seem to age. Would been interesting if her and Craig hooked up
"Shingle-on-the-Way" 26:47
She is delightful 🥰
This is pretty much the whole "Bing Hitler" act on a late night talk show. Well played.
expect my audience to have taken a shower at least one week prior to visiting us
For my money this was the funniest f*****g show on TV
7:29
Aye, ya bested me agin!
It's very unusual ,and most people don't think it's possible for a man and a women to be ...just friends.....when they first met she had a crush on him and wanted to marry him ...well ...I suppose you could say, two thirds of the women he has met felt the same .....
What a great monologue :)
Mike mades when yesterday of his will ccn says yesterday made it
Any ideas for a title of the song on 32:47 ?
Also wanna know
Gp and the fergs🔥
Why is Greg armed in the epilogue? Is Louis Anderson more dangerous than his usual guests?
The best cbs find him and get him back on late night
Have you ever watched his stand up on Netflix? He really let loose
I’d say there’s a 50% chance they’ll come
She is very cool 👍
Missing this guy, he was very funny, clever and bien pinche loco, hahaha!!
I miss his crazy cussing and Geoff, but miss the theme song most of all ..well, today I do. I have sung it to myself all day long lol.
What’s not a swear!?!? It’s killing me, I need to know!!
Why in the HELL would CBS cancel this show??
He left it wasn't cancelled ... think he felt like after David L left he no longer had protection to be himself.. so he got out BEFORE they kicked him out. Shame really.
CBS did not cancel the show. Craig quit after 10 years. CBS replaced him with James Corden.
Slightly disturbed, always hilarious...why did he quit?
they forced him out bcs he was a patriot, he got Us citizenship and tatooed "dont tread on me" on his both hands ...
He left because he was simply tired of doing the show. It had been 10 years, he felt he had done as much as he could with it, and was ready for something new.
I'm really amazed and delighted that they didn't censor "pussy" (about 21:44)!
Craig is the funniest man ever doing late night talk shows, even Conan doesn't reach this level.... I wonder why Craig had to leave? Whenever I'm in the mood for late night I'll check his old stuff here on UA-cam before watching anything contemporary. The execs must feelvery proud of themselves. Idiots
She is Gorgeous!
Shes doesn't even have to try. I'm hopeless....
Smoken
Anyone who is disappointed that “Armageddon” didn’t happen is pretty twisted, don’t you think? 💈
Kristen did you buy the best woman trophy?
Have I ever mentioned that I am the original heretic?
