This man was legend of the late night shows. God i miss this fella very much...
Best interviewer I've ever seen. If you have ever been on one of these programs, you'd know that they have a walk-through session prior to the show. On camera, you are pretty much just repeating yourself. Craig Ferguson didn't do that. The conversations were spontaneous. And he really made his guests come alive in them.
canceld wtf lady do your homework i wished craig had dropped an f bomb
He made his guests uncomfortable, he was a psycho
@@jasoneaton4520 Troll much?
No
“Hey Geoff, you ever been to New Orleans?”
“Yea, I got a place down there”
I love you.
❤😭
I'll miss 'em... Edinburgh...
We throw beads at people. Lol miss Craig and Geoff
Look, it's a little tit.
"When your show was cancelled you said you 'went to pieces.' What was that like?"
"Well, it wasn't cancelled and I didn't say I went to pieces."
I have a hard time thinking of something that excuses this level of unpreparedness.
She had been on a show that Craig hosted that WAS cancelled.
Sometimes (not saying this is one of those) they will deliberately say some wrong fact in order for the person to correct them and give them a tasty quoted headline such as... Craig Ferguson confesses: "My show wasn't cancelled"
😂😂😂 I just laughed out loud. The lack of research is disgusting
So many assumptions by these terrible interviewers
Jerry Seinfeld: You think I got cancelled?
Larry King: Have I hurt you, Jerry?
Seinfeld: I was the number one show on television, Larry! Do you know who I am? 75 million viewers last episode! Was I cancelled?!
Dear lord these hosts/interviewers are bad.. They are just.. awful.
Horrible, stupid, souless, cringeworthy no-stop-smiling interviewers
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH.
He deserves so much better... and smarter. You can tell they don't inspire him.
Cringy
Cringeworthey unresearched shiet!
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson was never cancelled by CBS. In fact CBS wanted him to stay at 12.37am, and follow Colbert - he decided ten years was enough, and left. His show was never cancelled.
The interviewers were just morons.
Alfred Molina scared him...he had to get out....
he also had a clause when letterman retired he got a huge payout i forget the terms but it was big money
No shit he said that lol
@Robert That doesn't match what l said
These interviewers are really, really bad.
It's remarkable how bad they suck
The hosts are so like... happy-happy plastic robots.
the guy on the left was on channel one a news channel for kids and man has he changed it's like he isn't even a real human anymore
welcome to breakfast tv. Smile so hard it hurts xD
my guess is drugs
Yep, happy, plastic, narcissistic robots. maybe that largely describes LA?
A Babylon of Idiocracy.
99% of American tv show hosts
his face when they said his show was cancelled lmaooo
They did no research
Yeah, I noticed. I thought, "Did you do ANY research for this interview?" I'm sure it was written in the book he was there to promote that he quit the show.
@@benadams3569 I have not read the book and i knew that. (Must read the book.)
His rating hit rock bottom though
His show wasn't cancelled he chose to move on. These idiots needed to do the research before making stupid comments
Netflix... Listen to me, *listen to me!*
Open up those big wallets of yours, and, Give. This. Man. A. Talk-show. *ASAP!*
Did you not listen to the man? He quit after doing it for over 10 years.
@@ghostshipone We all know a woman is the reason. Stuff changes
@@ElNadaInLada maybe 🤷♂️
Yeah, I don't think he'd take another talk show. He's done a few really good specials on Netflix already!
@@ElNadaInLada that movie is a a disease
He would still be KING today if he had a show.
He aged well and he is still as smart and quick witted as ever.
craig was the only good late show.
Disagree, Arsenio was also great! And also Jon Stewart.
And Conan
Craig may be one of the only people that could interview Desmond Tutu, Robin Williams and Paris Hilton and manage to make all three entertaining.
He was the best - a comedic genius with a quick wit! Was sad to see it end. But with UA-cam, you can always revisit. I wish him much happiness in the future.
Amen, he is a natural talent that somehow built a following with a show on a $ 10 budget, just the opposite of his replacement.
Exactly. It was his time to move on as sad as it was.
I still watch the old interviews from his show, they were so much fun, he always put so much energy into it -- he's easily one of the best talk show hosts ever. He should still be doing it if you ask me, he spoke to interesting people, who else would have Dennis Hopper on, Alice Cooper, Billy Connolly, Stephen Fry, Helena Bonham Carter and all those other hot ladies he spoke to?, it was a great show 10 out of 10.
Me too and agreed,... at least we had a good taste. He brought a totally fresh angle to the US "Chat Show" scene and ran it brilliantly. All the best Craigy.
And he never read the prepared interview questions given to him. He never does interviews, it's conversations and there we all were eavesdropping on two friends casually talking about anything and everything under the sun!
He was always willing to acknowledge boobs too. Most men would love to pull that off without seeming creepy. or cancelled...
@@MarkJones-gt2qd There's certain things only some people can say
@@irishelk3 well, ill say it but it rarely ends well....
His face at 0:52 when the interviewer inaccurately claims that his show was cancelled 😂😂
She had been on a show that Craig hosted that WAS cancelled.
@@russellnotestine6436 thats not what she was talking about dumbass....she said said his show was cancelled but be actually quit. So stop copying n pasting your comment everywhere
After pretending she read the book 🤣
@@OneofInfinity. lol remember doing that in school . Teacher gives you a chapter to read and you lied you read the whole thing and improvised🤣
Seinfeld moment
Not even a minute into the interview "you said when your show was cancelled you were going to pieces"....."that's not true I wasn't cancelled I quit and I wasn't going to pieces" great interviewing right there 👏👏😂
Craig, you are sooooo missed! I am no longer watching ANY late night show.
Same here!
Same here!
Conan's still pretty good... I mean we can't afford cable but he puts out really good stuff on UA-cam...
@@old.tables1989 Conan's remotes are underrated.
SAme. I’ve tried to give others a chance, it nothing compares to what he did
I didn't really come to appreciate the genius of Craig Ferguson's late late show until after it was canceled. I am thankful I can still watch his genius on line. No one interviews the lovely ladies quite like Ferguson.
HIS SHOW WAS NOT CANCELLED!! The Late Late Show has been on a lot longer than when he began and ended his time as host. He quit doing the show BY CHOICE just as Jay Leno and Johnny Carson quit hosting The Tonight Show.
@@benadams3569 Leno NEVER quit by choice, in either 2009 or 2014.
Hands down the best "comedic" TV host ever . That's why on a daily basis I still get a shot of Craig on UA-cam. Guaranteed to brighten your day.
By far, by far far.....the best talk show host to have ever lived. Funny, quick witted, charming, and great talker. Would still be the best one if he was still hosting. Please come back!
How do you ask multiple factually incorrect questions...when the guy literally gave you a book of facts...
Craig Ferguson and his Late Late Show echoes in eternity 🇺🇸 🏴 GOAT
Craig, I understand you need to do for you but from my heart of hearts, believe me when I say that it's not been a great day for America since you've been gone...just sayin :-/
So true, so so soo true....😔
Awe my heart aches😔😔
I'm new here (I've watched just the Robin Williams interviews ❤️😂😭😂💔❤️), but this is already true.😥
bad hosts...
"I loved your book, especially the part where your show got cancelled and you fell to pieces."
"Neither of those things happened."
[Later] "Gosh, you seem so prickly today, whatever is the matter?"
I wonder lol
It was very common knowledge that he quit the show. *shakes head.*
It helps if a "journalist" does some research prior to an interview.
She had been on a show that Craig hosted that WAS cancelled.
@@russellnotestine6436 they are clearly talking about his late night show.
@@peoples2296 Clearly?? Nope
@@russellnotestine6436 it's clear for anyone who isn't a dumbass since they are literally talking about his late show and referencing it by name.
“Times in this planet is short man, its just day and a hyphen, i don’t wanna spent my life talking to celebrities.”
You Craig are the real deal! Your heart was too big and kind for Hollywood! That is not something to feel upset about, it tells us you would not compromise your integrity. Much love Craig. ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
We were not sick of hearing you talk. You should have never quit. I would still be watching you today Craig.
We all sadly miss Craig...the True End of Comedy on Late Night TV...🌹
Craig I need you back we all do during these really tough times get some deal with Netflix, do a show, doesn't have to be everyday
I agree wholeheartedly. And bring back Geoff and Secretariat too.
I agree! And may he bring back Sid too!😁🤞
Well, now he has a show called The Hustler!
He once read out a tweet that I sent and it was the greatest achievement in my life
And glad to see that breakfast television seems to be equally bad around the world.
What was the tweet?
@@toady3794 Why garlic gloves look like testicles
Dude, you gotta aim higher. Seriously.
@@justayoutuber1906 it's the little things that make me happy
@VeniVidiViral Something in September...2012 maybe? I'd need to search for it again
James Corden can't even hold up a candle to this man. In fact, there are no "talk shows" today that can.
Kimmel's pretty damn good.
Still some edge there.
@@JeremyHartson2000 Your opinion buddy... I find Kimmel to be quite a dick tbh...and he's a hypocrite.
@@Marikioable Agree 100%! These late night D-bags have ruined late night TV for me, something I used to love. They have all gone left-wing political except Fallon (but he is lame). I miss Carson, Leno, Letterman (before he went left wing political) and Ferguson. Who wants politics at 11:35 or at 12:35? PS Kimmel is a major dick.
@@thomasluby1754 Wow! Jeez!
I assume you are an American man? (never assume. It just makes an ass of you and me)
I am a Scottish man. I grew up in the same city as Craig Ferguson did. We don't take any shit from anybody, We lean in a direction that suits us.
Leno and Letterman stabbed him in the back. They know it I know it. He knows it
As for Jimmy Kimmell? The man is a fucking hypocrite. Does no one remember his "What's in my pants" stint?
Graham Norton
The quick wit that comes out of his mouth is always down to Earth, hilarious! Miss this awesome dude!
I miss you Craig and I am so far away in Quito, Ecuador!!! I want to see more of you.
I miss Craig, Geoff and Secretariat. I loved the whole show, especially when Craig sang the theme song on cam. This was a great show and it made me laugh a lot too. Fire this clown James Corden. He isn't in Craig's league. Bring back Craig, Geoff and Secretariat. I would definitely start watching this program again.
Well this time let Kristen be his sidekick.
@G&MM yeah I can believe it. That's just Hollywood's fucked way of doing things.
I watched Corden's first monologue, then changed channels he sucked so bad. Haven't watched since.
I wouldn't mind seeing Craig on a talk show again, because in my opinion he was the best that I have ever seen. He was amazing. But please, no Geoff. That's the only thing that would make me refuse to watch it.
@@PerthTowne then go fuck urslf u miserable bastard, no ones asking you to watch
@@stevehairston9940 Same.
Never saw the show when it aired ... but I have been watching YT bits ... HILARIOUS!!! ... Geoff is brilliant ... how did I miss this show? ...
@Knowbrains
A LOT of people "never saw the show". Craig like to point out that the only reason it continued was that it was recorded in a basement and the network didn't care what happened after midnight.
My introduction to UA-cam back around '06 was searching clips from the Late Late Show. Loved Craig.
Craig was terrific on "Late Late." A true original. Ten years is a long time and Craig made the decision that was best for him. Congratulations on a great run!
💕A unique humorous and strangely deranged in the most beautifully and welcoming way, kind of man.💕
Mr. Craig Ferguson your ways and your skeletal friend Geoff will be surely missed. Thank you for the Late Night laughs and making my nights a little more pleasant.❤💕
The absolute funniest show I've ever seen was Craig's. I'm 62 and remember well, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It was really great and I'll remember that, but TRULY Craig's show was SO funny, and he engaged his guests so well. Seeing him and Robin together was.... just an absolute joy. Two comedic supermen.
Some people just come along and make the world a better place, that is you Craig. When Im having a bad day I just youtube some clips of you and instant good mood.
Bought his new book. Not finished with it and it already made me laugh. Love this man.
I remember the moment he defended Brittney Spears against media bullies 👍
Somebody still cares about Britney Spears😂
That was amazing. She was an easy target but he wouldn't go there. What a great heart he has.
"Careful Icarus!"
God Bless you Jayleno Fly.
Craig was so great he won a freaking Peabody award for his interview with Desmond Tutu!
I miss him and wish the very best….
Mr . Ferguson. You might’ve been bored doing your show but I couldn’t wait to get home from work and watch it every night. Best late night show ! You were the closest to what Mr. Johnny Carson used to do every night . Incredibly funny and entertaining :)
I loved his show, but never got the chance to watch it regularly (Truck driver and all, you know), so watching the various UA-cam channels that have clips and compilations of The Late Late Show is very cool and provides hours of laughs, even 15 years on. His interview ending shtick of offering choices to the guest (Harmonica, piece of fruit, awkward pause, etc. ) were HILARIOUS and unique, not to mention his use of puppets. "Wavy" and the others, including Sid, the cussing rabbit were just simply late night TV gold.
Because of my work schedule I was never awake long enough to watch him until now. I wish I could have stayed awake to watch him while he was being broadcast. Perhaps he will return. I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more Craig Ferguson!
sometimes i think I AM a morning show, all agonizing terrible pain, right - but then i remember i have necrotizing fasciitis, and i am not a morning show. I am a human. I am a man, and i am slowly dying in the back of a Volkswagen - thrown from home by crippling medical expense. a smile warms my face: I am not a morning show.
These interviewers need to READ his book before the interview, they can't get anything right! Geez!
understandable to not read it, people be busy. But at least get the fucking facts straight first before putting them in the questions.
He was such a great host, and had great energy.
He was awesome best ever
Love him! And miss his late late night show was so funny and he was so humble
Fact is when I am working at home and want background entertaintment I put Craig on and always leave amused and happier. Mark of a great entertainer, comedian and personality.
It was very very difficult for me to stay awake for the LLS but it was always so worth it!!!
Always great television with this man. 😇
I just finished the book. The last chapter, where he recalls one of his relatives who moved to America as a young woman, is a masterpiece of poignant writing and powerful observation. Just blew me away!
Miss him ... Now I watch on youtube late late show with Craig.
Craig ferguson has left and James corden welcome
man, he was the best late night show and i miss it so much, not much quality in tv these days
Damn Craig, you are supremely missed. Man, the stars certainly had fun w him and I think most importantly, Craig values fun, which probably made the show. Hope to keep seeing him around!
When no research is done before an interview, this is the result. Craig was a gent as always.
Fire your research team straight away.
What a man 💙
Yup! kinda reminds me of Sean Connery in that every woman wants to be with him and every man wants to be him. LOL!
I miss him on the Late Late Night space. The best one to do it.
He was outstanding. Credit to him for going out on top - most hosts stay way past their sell by date!
I miss this man.
Me too
It’s actually international nurse week this week 2020. Craig’s still gold.
He was the absolute best. Me and my dad from dundee split our sides watching it together. Cried laughing. Legend miss that show a lot
If only Johnny Carson was able to have appeared as a guest on Craig's show. I think Johnny would have had a great time with Craig and 'Geoff Peterson'.
They clearly hadnt read the book. Good grief.
And Craig was simply the best Late Late host. He was himself, he wasnt trying to pretend he was someone else. James has to act every single episode. And No ONE will ever do a monologue quite so honestly as Craig Ferguson, and no one will ever forgot the monologue about his mother. The man spoke from the heart. I think we were all crying
*SLEPT-ON LEGEND AT THE TIME OF HIS TALKSHOW, MEDIA & PUBLIC DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT GOLD HE IS!*
Best late night host EVER. I miss his show big time!
I don’t watch much Late Night. However Craig Ferguson kept me in stitches. I can relate to him. Other then Craig, David Letterman was awesome.
“I was kind of bored...much like I am now talking with you”
i probably discovered him about four years into his run. he was clearly some kind of genius at stand-up. Sometimes his monologue would last for half an hour! and was clearly improvised! then, as time went on, he began to tire slowly. Toward the end he seemed a bit sad, though i thought he tried to hide it. I miss him and his show. he was more whimsical than anybody on now. anybody who does puppets has me from the get-go. maybe he'll find a venue to come back someday. he had bags of talent. the truth is america didn't give him the shot he deserved. if they could have forgotten the foreign accent they would have quickly realized they had a comic gold mine on their hands. he had a successful run but he should have been huge.
I loved his show. I saw him on stage live in Windsor Ontario he was hilarious
*LOVE this man.*
That's all.
And the legend lives on !
A news anchor in the UK asked someone on air if they'd ever 'Been to Dover" and I laughed out loud. I miss Craigy and Geoff every damn day.
Sharp intellect Fabulous show...
Sad his show is over. I find it the funniest late talk show in the US.
Craig's in New York, staying at Geoff's little place there.
And where is that
@@unbroken1010 Geoff never said, we can only assume somewhere in New York.
He is such an honest and real guy. I have a lot of admitarion for him.
I want to see you interview again Craig. Do a long form interview show. 1\2 hour to an hour. You ask the right questions.
I binge watch Late late late shows on youtube all the time. It is a good outlet for humor & seeing lovely women. I absolutely adore Kristen Bell.
And the men, too. The fact is, celebrities can be super hot.
Loved watching him. Very iconic! Miss you man.
Craig was the best. All the clips on you tube are so funny
Great research there guys....
I love (no I don’t) how the media always tell the celebrities, “you got terminated or or show got cancelled, something like that”. Knowing in this case Craig Ferguson left on his own terms.
Craig and Johnnie Carson were the absolute best of all time!
Craig has definitely gotten more handsome as he’s gotten older.
Jesus Fried Christ
We do...until we get to be mid 70’s or 80 ....then we turn into grumpy old men.
I miss his show so much best late night ever
He has the best wit on television. Netflix should pick him up.
I know everyone wants him back... BUT, it will never be the same. Let it go and enjoy the reruns(youtube).
Ferguson and Conan......two of the funniest Late Night hosts.
Naturally funny men that could make you laugh straight off the cuff !!
The best ones always end it on their terms at the top of their game.
He needs another show. I loved his show!
Can not wait to read his book.
I miss that show so much. I still binge watch it from time to time.
This was the best show host.
He seemed genuine, was always funny, and slayed the ladies
And the guests liked it because there was never any pre-interview. Even Conan's seemed staged (the leading questions).
Best late nite host in my lifetime. Definitely during his 10 years on TV
