Oh, no. I disagree. I think Craig is funnier when his cussing is being _censored,_ and acting frustrated by it, and that's coming from a guy who was a sailor, and has been around the world 5x accompanied by other sailors, and we all know sailors are the cussers all other cussers are compared with... Craig is also 5x funnier with the damned robot than without, and Josh is funniest as the robot. That's the act Craig should have developed and taken on the road. Most everything else he's done since he stepped away from the show has been crap. Of course he has adopted the vegan life-style he used to mock, so...
12:41 "No, we did that in the Monologue." The speed and delivery is unreal. Ricky Gervais is blown away, not an easy thing to do. They're both so funny and great. Absolutely love this
@@waltz9230 Ricky wanted to do a flat unfunny ending for the awkward pause bit, that was the suggestion Craig immediately replied "no we did that in the monologue" Google what's a monologue. I can't believe it's come to this. I'm explaining a fuckin joke. Taking all the soul of it.
I was really sad when Craig left the show, but I decided to give Corden a chance. But on literally his first episode I saw how coordinated and artificial it all was with the sketches and games and the carpool karaoke, and that was when I realized... what made Craig so good was how random and unprofessional it was. It felt genuine.
To be fair, *everyone's* first show is gonna be crap. Colbert's was. Conan's was. They're just figuring things out, and it can take a long time to find their stride. Granted, I'm still not really a Corden fan, but just watching the first show isn't a fair assessment.
to go from this chap to James Corden is just insulting. Corden is an ass kisser, cheesey, just reads shit off the prompter. The show is so fake and 'american' format. He does have some fans in the UK but mostly British people didn't care for him at all and were happy when he pissed off to the states along with Piers Morgan UGH !
It was genuine, that's why it didn't survive television. We live in a country where the news isn't even real. Television here is just people with agendas attempting to manipulate our psychology.
Thank you so you so very much you two nutters, I am laughing my socks off here. I am a 75 year old cockney, miserable as only old biddy's can be. Recently widowed and within 5 weeks of my beloved hubby passing, I lost both my elderly dogs so happiness is a past joy but you two did the impossible and made me laugh. Ricky always does but Craig also very funny. Thank you again.
Well it's been a while since I started. And I watched most of the clips multiple times now. But I wish I knew of him while he was doing do show. I missed it by a few years unfortunately.
Craig is one of the best interviewers ever. No one else was ever able to get so many celebrities to actually open up, be comfortable and genuine. And he always kept it real as well. Anytime someone was trying to be "professional" (aka fake) the interview was stale awkward and lead nowhere. But when he clicked with someone it was gold. I miss this show very much.
He isn’t wrong. Hands down the best talk show and the best host. He doesn’t just ask ridiculous questions nobody wants to know the answers to. He’s on their level. It’s always just a riff battle. He’s a genuine comedic personality who is never intimidated or outclassed by his guests. It’s such an easy watch, because there’s never a cringe factor. I love it.
Ricky and Craig are like brothers from different mothers, UK-ers, rule-breakers, and top-notch comedy writers. What a pleasure to be able to see this interview. 🙌
They joke about how unprofessional this show is and that's why it's the best. These are real conversations and far more interesting than any other show. We need it back.
I dont think that ricky was joking how shite the show felt. Ricky is a straight forward person. He shares his brothers stand in humor, that is if you see something funny, you must express it no matter how messed up or inappropriate it is. Ricky was actually gobsmacked at how raw and lazy the show was. How everything was permitted and allowed bar the few censoring. He was amazed at the thought or lack thereof of the shite horse and geoff. Ricky knows how much comedic talent craig has and to see his talents wasted on talk show where the host couldnt be asked to sit up straight for an interview; The thing is craig knows that ricky knows this and craig finds a sort of catharsis seeing his friend ricky realise craigs situation, how ricky finds the humor in the messy talkshow craig is hosting. But then again, Ricky highlights that craig is actually skimming the people paying him with the no effort show and ricky realised how easy and cheaper comparatively the show was to produce as opposed to a more serious and professional talk show like conan, fallon or kimmel. Craig doesnt take offense of course to all this being pointed out because they both share the cheeky self deprecating british humor and he doesnt really care, at the end of the day, he gets his paycheck at the end of the month.
@@ronweasley9001 No offence, but I do utterly disagree with everything you said. Having watched ricky gervais for so many years. It actually does seem like he enjoyed the show and how bizarre it was. Even the other celebs who came on the show seemed much more comfortable and natural in their conversations and didn't feel like they had to put on a show.
@@drjsguha i didnt say the didnt enjoyed the show. Of course he enjoyed the show. He could be himself and just come on the show And thats what i meant, the other celebs liked going to craigs show because theres not red tape going on there. Its very simple. No games no acting bit. Just dance and talk to craig
Not in this day and age. He would get cancelled immediately. I mean the first joke about Canada Mexico already would have cancelled him by the extremist.

I came here to watch Ricky. I left googling Craig Ferguson. What an awesome comedian, I haven't laughed that much in ages. These two together make me happy about life 🤣
You have to be incredibly talented to be this relaxed and "unprofessional", and make it seem easy - the hardest things done by masters always seem easy. Craig is truly a master.
i don't get how talk show hosts like jimmy fallon, james corden and jimmy kimmel are so famous, they aren't funny. show hosts like craig and conan o'brien deserved to be more famous.
i abseloutly agree, i have always been a fan of conan i watch all he's videos specially those without any famous celebrity he just hang out with some of he's staffs and even when he goes out in public with random normal people he's still 100x funnier than any other show but I just found craig i didn't even know him and I realized he's really just as good
Craig Ferguson is just hysterical. I watched his show all the time. He was superior to all the ones now. Craig and Ricky made me cry I was laughing so hard. Laughter is the best medicine. That just picked me right up.
Someone PLEASE give Craig a show. He was genuine, a comedic genius, and most importantly he kept out the damned politics that's infiltrated EVERY facet of life today.
Sorry to say, Craig quit because he didn’t want the show to go stale. Great loss. I agree with everything you said. Current show hosts care so weak that they need to resort to politics in order to pander to the mentally weak.
@@MythicalMD It's a communist strategy of politicizing everything under the sun as it gives government an excuse to get involved. (And make a train wreck out of it.)
Indeed, but Ricky and Craigy and Geoff all missed a great setup at 21:10 "Why do we have to have another human being", why not train chimps so you can get a prostate exam from Coco the chimp doctor, or a sloth? The gay robot wannabe proctologist is RIGHT THERE! Gervais is funny, but he's a rabid anti-robot-Geoffite.
yeah..i gotta admit....craig formulated his very own unique creative space...which is hard to do in late night..and he made it his own....a small,and interesting little pocket of reality that only he existed in....he did great...he aint my favorite...that's conan..but craig kicked serious ass
Probably better than watching him for almost a decade and finding out he was quitting. It was terrible. So we come here and watch clips of reruns. It's truly sad.
Ricky: Should I tell a joke, a punchline that just falls flat and it fades out? Craig (immediately): No, we did that in the monologue. My God, that's quick wit at its very finest.
And that laugh that Ricky does is a rare one, it only happens when he finds something genuinely hysterical - another time was when Karl Pilkington said "My Mum said 'to be in the Hells Angels you have to shit in your pants and keep them on for a week'......my Dad said 'Your Aunty Nora could have got in then'" 🤣
OMFG!!! This is Absolutely hysterical. Why is Craig Ferguson not on late night television???!!! He puts all late night television to shame. He’s the only late night show host I ever watched and laughed for real every time.
I come here a couple of times a year. It's genuinely one of the best half hour comedy duo in the history of comedy. These 2 should do a show, it will be the most watched comedy show easily. Ricky was laughing hard so many times. 2 great quick witty comics just riffing free range style. It sucks they only met twice on this show. The ending bit was just fantastic high octane improv comedy. "I've got a table", 2 finger celebrity colonoscopy, fall from the ceiling body position and this show being so bizarre it's not a television show. Craig really did a podcast in late night talk show.
Ricky Gervais is also comedy gold, so he knows when a show’s good. THIS was his favorite talkshow to be on, because it was sooo good. I honestly think this show is still one of the most watched shows ever! People are still watching it on youtube after all these years and are still laughing. If I could buy the entire show on blu-ray I would.
Man oh man, I really miss the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I was dying when I saw Craig live. So funny. Who doesn't like Ricky Gervais; and their brilliant together!
Ferguson is the best ever. Never tired of his show. Do not understand why he is not on anymore. Had to have been voluntary. He is hilariously funny and these interviews with Ricky are a match made in heaven.
he decided to leave after 10 years. he felt he did everything he needed to do and wanted new challenges. i watched this show live adn it really was the best ever every night.
I love Craig Ferguson and Ricky Gervais. But the two of them together is brilliant! I love that Craig made Ricky laugh so much. I love his laugh! They should work together seriously!
HE WAS MY FAVORITE TALK SHOW HOST EVER. UNDER HIM IS CONAN. BOTH OF THEM WERE MY PART OF MY CHILDHOOD. I didn't have cable and just watched on pure antenna and watched super late at night. I loved him man.
Since Craig left, I don’t watch any late night shows. His show was/is by far the best. He could go from ridiculous immaturity to flirty to serious to wildly intelligent to heart wrenching all in one show. All while doing minimal political topics. Thanks for posting these.
Years later Ricky made his joke about a psychiatrist into a real character on his show Afterlife. I guess brainstorming with Craig is always a good idea :)
Distribution of intelligence. The smarter you are, the faster and edgier comedy has to be to crack you up because it's harder to derail your brain and give it something it has not seen coming. But since highly intelligent people are a minority, you can have successful comedy with a lot less effort. Hence Jerry Seinfeld, hence Amy Schumer (which is not to say Seinfeld is as bad as Schumer, he's just not as good as his reputation).
James Cordon seems to be way more willing to conform to the kind of show that CBS wanted, picking up the Fallon millennial audience. He's good, but it's a totally different show. I really wish they'd film Craig's Sirius XM show.
@Brian Robertson well if the world wasn't spinning we'd be dead but I get what you mean, still people have been terrible since day one, that's why you look for the good ones and just accept there will be bad. Besides if there wasn't bad, how would we know what is good. And I want this quarantine to end to but first you have to accept where you're at in order to determine where you're going. It's a good time to work on yourself and not worry about others because worrying doesn't help in trying times, action does. And just like a plane crash when the masks go down, you need to help yourself before you can help others, and that's the only way to make change baby, by splitting a dollar
@Brian Robertson @Brian Robertson wow, I didn't think I would actually even make a difference talking to you but I'm glad I did. I'm not perfect, no one is, I've seen people get shot and die and I've stabbed one and let's just say there was a serial rapist and hurts a lot of my friends under my nose. So I really try to live by my word, after all that's the only thing you can truly have in this world, because sometimes your life doesn't even belong to you. I've definitely seen my fair share of the fucked nature of the world to want to see my ecosystem to flourish, and generally you need a gardener to do that, and you can't be a Gardner without patience and a bit of love
I watched this show when Craig Kilborn was the host as a kid. When he left I thought it would suck. Craig Ferguson changed my mind instantly, dude was great
Who on this planet could have possibly given this video a thumbs down? I think I’ve watched it at least 10 times since it was uploaded. Never gets old.
I have a feeling Craig never got considered for an earlier slot because he didn't want to be a robot asking pre scripted questions to set up brain dead actors to ineptly tell a story.
@phosphorescent wave no that isn't what I said at all. The writers write the monologue. The parts with guests do not require a writing staff if you have the right host. Maybe try not to be so combative in future 👍
@phosphorescent wave the pre interview is done by the talent co ordinator not the writers. For some guests it is skipped entirely if they are a regular. The writers do not get involved unless it's a sketch or a monologue
@phosphorescent wave the talent co ordinator normally talks to the guests agent or the guest themselves if they are plugging anything or have a story they want to tell, the talent coordinator then gives the bullet point cards to the host who can use them if need be. A comedy writer would not do this job as it's not their role as it requires no real creativity, particularly if the guest is not comedic. My original point was that Craig doesn't really fit into that format hence he got the late late show where if the host is as good as Craig he doesn't need cards and can talk naturally and waddya know the guests respond well and it's a lot more natural than a host saying out of the blue ' i understand you've been to Tunisia recently' I think you need help if you would choose a comment like this to be overly aggressive and insulting when it's clearly you in the wrong here. You seem to be angry with someone and it ain't me
These interviews should be should be turned in to a series. They’re so much more entertaining than Thousands of shows that companies spend millions to produce
I love it ! They still kept talking when they went to commercial break, so i wish i was there next to Ricky to listen to them continue the conversation whatever it was!!!!
I'm glad people decided to upload these as well as full shows. I didn't watch this when it was on. Now I watch them in order. The best late night show I never saw.
Craig is one of the best that did late-night. And he was the best the hosts The late late show. Having David Letterman as your boss instead of the actual Network must have been awesome 😎
I just got here. I miss Craig Ferguson's late, late show. I think his contract was up and he wanted out to do other things. I found Craig so freaking funny I had to go see him live. Love this channel, and Ricky and Craig together.😂
Only just seen this on recommended but this kind of banter is what you see in pubs in UK mainly from work colleagues and it’s glorious to watch while we in lockdown
Craig has stayed away from Late Night on his own terms, by his own decision. So it's not up to anyone but himself. That said, I want him back so badly too haha
My god.. tv needs this back... i'm so bored of the fake forced interviews with guests on chat shows... In this interview, they literally didn't say a damn thing about anything and i couldn't BE more entertained, and it will stick in my memory for a lot longer than fallon and cordon's nonsense ... travesty it was taken off air
Best Late Night Show EVER! I’ve never laughed harder than when Craig and Geoffrey go off the rails (“I am Klaus” totaled me... I was laughing for days afterwards, and 10 years later I still laugh like crazy). This show was so fresh and innovative, compared to all the other old, tired, worn out, predictable nighttime talk shows... actually there was no comparison at all.

@@lorz8940 you heard lol
2 years later and speaking of train wrecks…or trucks
Geoff will always be the greatest sidekick. "Why don't you come over here and I'll show you?"
hahah :D
Indeed, but Ricky and Craigy and Geoff all missed a great setup at 21:10 "Why do we have to have another human being", why not train chimps so you can get a prostate exam from Coco the chimp doctor, or a sloth? The gay robot wannabe proctologist is RIGHT THERE!
Gervais is funny, but he's a rabid anti-robot-Geoffite.
Ricky was barking up the wrong tree going for Geoff
If Gervais is laughing his ass off, it's gotta be funny.
With me now knowing how much he hates the PC culture (and called it out), I think he really enjoyed being on a show that just didn't give a F.
That or a perfectly round head 😂.
Karl Pilkington is the funniest man alive.
Maybe Nathan FIelder.
@@shawny2scrawny as far as a straight-up track record Johnny Carson probably is
@@frankieb9444 Bruh if you're doing the type of stand-up Ricky does you kinda have to hate PC culture lol
Ricky's laugh is SO wholesome. It's a pure man giggle.
Nick Offerman does the same thing
I laughed so hard I cried! Bring these guys back! We desperately need the laughs right now.
I can't believe this isn't a show any more. Not that it was to start with. But it should still be.
Yea, Craig would have had so many jokes about your name haha :D, its a nice name dont get me wrong.
Has it changed or have I missed something?
+Games and Fun that's where I'm at
ended
Kael be good of they bought this on to you tube
Craig was always so self-deprecating, but they really hit something special with this show. I really miss it.
yeah..i gotta admit....craig formulated his very own unique creative space...which is hard to do in late night..and he made it his own....a small,and interesting little pocket of reality that only he existed in....he did great...he aint my favorite...that's conan..but craig kicked serious ass
He added Geoff and the horse, which added more comedy value. Geoff had two great lines at the end of this video.
I have never seen Rick Gervais laugh like that. That was a great show. I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt. Awesome!!
Ricky Gervais became the one reason that made award shows worth watching.
Love to watch Craig with folks that have a good sense of humor and can riff with Craig. Sharp comedians are pure GOLD. Ricky is one of those folks.
Craig is the GOAT.
How did I not know about him until his show was no more 😭
Probably better than watching him for almost a decade and finding out he was quitting. It was terrible. So we come here and watch clips of reruns. It's truly sad.
What is that mean
Symbolic
Have you googled his musicals? White Lines or Monster Mash
the goat?........ok.....everyone is free to their opinion
I love Ricky's laugh. it's so genuine
He always looks like he's having such fun!
His laugh is adorable!
Ricky: Should I tell a joke, a punchline that just falls flat and it fades out?
Craig (immediately): No, we did that in the monologue.
My God, that's quick wit at its very finest.
That was brilliant!
its crazy, how i envy people who can just come up with golden lines like this in an instant
Craig has a remarkably quick wit.
And that laugh that Ricky does is a rare one, it only happens when he finds something genuinely hysterical - another time was when Karl Pilkington said "My Mum said 'to be in the Hells Angels you have to shit in your pants and keep them on for a week'......my Dad said 'Your Aunty Nora could have got in then'" 🤣
that one about killed me.
OMFG!!! This is Absolutely hysterical. Why is Craig Ferguson not on late night television???!!! He puts all late night television to shame. He’s the only late night show host I ever watched and laughed for real every time.
I would never want to see either of these men doing the hokey pokey propaganda pfor the, brought to you by, people.
I come here a couple of times a year. It's genuinely one of the best half hour comedy duo in the history of comedy. These 2 should do a show, it will be the most watched comedy show easily.
Ricky was laughing hard so many times. 2 great quick witty comics just riffing free range style. It sucks they only met twice on this show.
The ending bit was just fantastic high octane improv comedy. "I've got a table", 2 finger celebrity colonoscopy, fall from the ceiling body position and this show being so bizarre it's not a television show.
Craig really did a podcast in late night talk show.
Ricky Gervais is also comedy gold, so he knows when a show’s good. THIS was his favorite talkshow to be on, because it was sooo good. I honestly think this show is still one of the most watched shows ever! People are still watching it on youtube after all these years and are still laughing. If I could buy the entire show on blu-ray I would.
I'm thinking they are both naturals for the or the equivalent of "life-time award" or something more grand.
I've never seen this man before. He's really really funny and quick, and working off Ricky Gervais like that was genius.
Craig makes Ricky laugh, omg it's the best ever it should have 1 billion views
Ricky's joy at how good the show is is rather lovely, and well deserved of Craig.
Man oh man, I really miss the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I was dying when I saw Craig live. So funny. Who doesn't like Ricky Gervais; and their brilliant together!
Ferguson is the best ever. Never tired of his show. Do not understand why he is not on anymore. Had to have been voluntary. He is hilariously funny and these interviews with Ricky are a match made in heaven.
he decided to leave after 10 years. he felt he did everything he needed to do and wanted new challenges. i watched this show live adn it really was the best ever every night.
The last ten min. are priceless! Several times RG is amazed at CF's improv quickness. Continuity. CF's responses are comedy gold.
I love Craig Ferguson and Ricky Gervais. But the two of them together is brilliant! I love that Craig made Ricky laugh so much. I love his laugh! They should work together seriously!
His chats with Robin Williams are some of best comedy ever!! But this is pretty darned good!
Ricky's laugh is as fake AF.
@@zapkvr lol, nah, he's having a genuinely good time with Craig
@@zapkvr Definitely not.
No such thing as car-crash tv with these two. They are simply so good that NOTHING can go wrong. Love it!
HE WAS MY FAVORITE TALK SHOW HOST EVER. UNDER HIM IS CONAN. BOTH OF THEM WERE MY PART OF MY CHILDHOOD. I didn't have cable and just watched on pure antenna and watched super late at night. I loved him man.
Craig Ferguson was the Best. Nothing political just pure Comedy nonsense genius.
More like tacky drivel
Was?
Vitali your right my bad "IS"
@Dale Cooper Craig's problem was that Obama was President for the majority of his run on CBS. Didn't do much stupid to warrant comedians attention.
James Rossow Jr. . Oh he’d have something to say about Trump daily, buddy. 🤣
Since Craig left, I don’t watch any late night shows. His show was/is by far the best. He could go from ridiculous immaturity to flirty to serious to wildly intelligent to heart wrenching all in one show. All while doing minimal political topics. Thanks for posting these.
Agreed
Just watch Norton on here.
Liam the Barber I’m assuming you are talking about Graham Norton, you are correct. He has some really funny moments as well.
This was the only late night show I ever watched. I couldn't watch it without laughing, every night! Now, I watch it here. ❤
I watch the 1st 15-20 minutes of Seth, and then I'm done. I wish Colbert hadn't gone back to the theater. But, you can't always get what you want.
Love watching Craig with quick comedians. They both go into play mode and have a ball. Tons of fun to watch.
Now that’s an interview, two guys just being real, best interview I’ve watched on a talk show, love it!
Never ever seen Ricky Gervais having so much fun on a chat show :))
Years later Ricky made his joke about a psychiatrist into a real character on his show Afterlife. I guess brainstorming with Craig is always a good idea :)
I wouldnt wonder if the "ireland is englands cuba" joke originated here too.
I just saw that.
how has james corden become more popular than this guy? comedy is dead.
Wreck Tard Because he has a UA-cam channel and carpool karaoke. That’s the reality right now, you need UA-cam to make your TV show popular.
you are 100%
Distribution of intelligence. The smarter you are, the faster and edgier comedy has to be to crack you up because it's harder to derail your brain and give it something it has not seen coming. But since highly intelligent people are a minority, you can have successful comedy with a lot less effort. Hence Jerry Seinfeld, hence Amy Schumer (which is not to say Seinfeld is as bad as Schumer, he's just not as good as his reputation).
James Cordon seems to be way more willing to conform to the kind of show that CBS wanted, picking up the Fallon millennial audience. He's good, but it's a totally different show. I really wish they'd film Craig's Sirius XM show.
Volkbrecht Jerry makes intelligent observations. They're just not funny.
"This might be the best chat show ever"... Ya damned right it is!
when someone makes Ricky Gervais laugh like that then you know he's a legend
Ferguson was the best late night show by miles
This and the Robin Williams interviews are the best talk show moments in TV history
Who’s coming back to this in July 2020 lmfaoo UA-cam’s doing something
@Brian Robertson Does anyone really understand it?
DexyD20 that’s the beauty of it..
@Brian Robertson do you need a hug? It'll all be ok, even if we end the world will keep spinning😋💜
@Brian Robertson well if the world wasn't spinning we'd be dead but I get what you mean, still people have been terrible since day one, that's why you look for the good ones and just accept there will be bad. Besides if there wasn't bad, how would we know what is good. And I want this quarantine to end to but first you have to accept where you're at in order to determine where you're going. It's a good time to work on yourself and not worry about others because worrying doesn't help in trying times, action does. And just like a plane crash when the masks go down, you need to help yourself before you can help others, and that's the only way to make change baby, by splitting a dollar
@Brian Robertson @Brian Robertson wow, I didn't think I would actually even make a difference talking to you but I'm glad I did. I'm not perfect, no one is, I've seen people get shot and die and I've stabbed one and let's just say there was a serial rapist and hurts a lot of my friends under my nose. So I really try to live by my word, after all that's the only thing you can truly have in this world, because sometimes your life doesn't even belong to you. I've definitely seen my fair share of the fucked nature of the world to want to see my ecosystem to flourish, and generally you need a gardener to do that, and you can't be a Gardner without patience and a bit of love
"That's comedy, though. We zig when you zag, bitches. That's what it is". Awesome.
Josep Portell should be a slogan on a shirt somewhere. lol
I watched this show when Craig Kilborn was the host as a kid. When he left I thought it would suck. Craig Ferguson changed my mind instantly, dude was great
Haven't had such a massive laugh in a while. Unreal host, unreal guest!
These two have the best energy. It keeps a smile on my face and makes me laugh so often.
Who on this planet could have possibly given this video a thumbs down? I think I’ve watched it at least 10 times since it was uploaded. Never gets old.
Some don’t like gervais
12:40 undoubtedly one of Craig's fastest moments, that response was brilliant and didn't even skip a beat.
I have a feeling Craig never got considered for an earlier slot because he didn't want to be a robot asking pre scripted questions to set up brain dead actors to ineptly tell a story.
@Lincoln Colt What would the Chinese have to gain by globalism?
Lincoln Colt That was like a right wing conspiracy theorist buzzword buffet
@phosphorescent wave no that isn't what I said at all. The writers write the monologue. The parts with guests do not require a writing staff if you have the right host. Maybe try not to be so combative in future 👍
@phosphorescent wave the pre interview is done by the talent co ordinator not the writers. For some guests it is skipped entirely if they are a regular. The writers do not get involved unless it's a sketch or a monologue
@phosphorescent wave the talent co ordinator normally talks to the guests agent or the guest themselves if they are plugging anything or have a story they want to tell, the talent coordinator then gives the bullet point cards to the host who can use them if need be. A comedy writer would not do this job as it's not their role as it requires no real creativity, particularly if the guest is not comedic.
My original point was that Craig doesn't really fit into that format hence he got the late late show where if the host is as good as Craig he doesn't need cards and can talk naturally and waddya know the guests respond well and it's a lot more natural than a host saying out of the blue ' i understand you've been to Tunisia recently'
I think you need help if you would choose a comment like this to be overly aggressive and insulting when it's clearly you in the wrong here. You seem to be angry with someone and it ain't me
This was such a genuine interaction. Very funny and just pure joy to watch
Even Ricky knew how much better this show was than all other late nite
I just found out about Craig. He is freakin brilliant and genuine. Bring back Craig and get rid of Fallon, Kimmel, Corden, etc.
I’m not a troll but at my last days I just love to watch Ricky before I go to sleep. It makes me happy. 🥰
My favorite comedian and my favorite talk show host. This is a grand slam.
These interviews should be should be turned in to a series. They’re so much more entertaining than Thousands of shows that companies spend millions to produce
And no one watches that garbage they put out these days but they have no choice but to make it, DEI and ESG demands it, welcome to the new world.
Yes Ricky Gervais, that is correct, this was the BEST Talk Show Ever!
12:40 is one of Craig’s best ever quick witted responses! Gotta praise how brilliant that was and Ricky loved it!
Man I miss this show. Thanks for uploading all this stuff. Craig blew Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon out of the water.
aweha I
Craig is still the best but Colbert and Kimmel are pretty funny. Fallon though...
4reptar20 I really don’t like their shit when now it’s just a tool for it to become political,that’s why I still love Conan
Colbert is also fantastic
And we'll never see another as good as him. I guarantee it.
Never heard Ricky laugh so hard... Love Craig.
I love it ! They still kept talking when they went to commercial break, so i wish i was there next to Ricky to listen to them continue the conversation whatever it was!!!!
Ricky used the "physiotherapist talking to his mates in the pub about his patients" in After Life's second season!
I just came to the comments to say that.
@@jasonroemhild I just came
Does that make Craig a cowriter for that ep?
7:06
Not Physiotherapist, Psychotherapist!
I'm glad people decided to upload these as well as full shows.
I didn't watch this when it was on.
Now I watch them in order.
The best late night show I never saw.
I've never seen Ricky laugh so much in any other show before.
Craig is one of the best that did late-night. And he was the best the hosts The late late show. Having David Letterman as your boss instead of the actual Network must have been awesome 😎
I just got here.
I miss Craig Ferguson's late, late show. I think his contract was up and he wanted out to do other things. I found Craig so freaking funny I had to go see him live.
Love this channel, and Ricky and Craig together.😂
Only just seen this on recommended but this kind of banter is what you see in pubs in UK mainly from work colleagues and it’s glorious to watch while we in lockdown
Shit that was funny. Perfect environment for Gervais to let loose. Imagine if Ferguson didn't have to hold back.
animaysh He held back? How?
@@glanced9684 if this is uncensored it will be mental
Ferguson would be better on the internet
Petition to get Craig back? Anyone?
Best talk show host hands down!!!
It’s not up to us. Craig quit.
Craig has stayed away from Late Night on his own terms, by his own decision. So it's not up to anyone but himself. That said, I want him back so badly too haha
Ricky is a genius that happens to have a wicked sense of humor…. Wicked in a good way
theres nobody funnier than ricky you have to love this guy specially when hes hosting the golden globes
BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!
We'll never see a talkshow like this again.
You need to watch Graham Norton
@@NH-tb2sm Graham Norton? Is that a joke? No comparison between the two.
@@NH-tb2sm Graham is great, but I agree with summerrr1, they're two completely different types of shows.
My god.. tv needs this back... i'm so bored of the fake forced interviews with guests on chat shows...
In this interview, they literally didn't say a damn thing about anything and i couldn't BE more entertained, and it will stick in my memory for a lot longer than fallon and cordon's nonsense ...
travesty it was taken off air
Best Late Night Show EVER!
I’ve never laughed harder than when Craig and Geoffrey go off the rails (“I am Klaus” totaled me... I was laughing for days afterwards, and 10 years later I still laugh like crazy).
This show was so fresh and innovative, compared to all the other old, tired, worn out, predictable nighttime talk shows... actually there was no comparison at all.
It wasn't taken off the air. He quit!!
@@denisepaulsenful which means it was taken off air... I suspect where you are from taken off means specifically sacked ... It doesn't where I am
@os taken off means taken off air for whatever reason where I am from...
Try Graham Norton?
I love that in both Ricky's appearances on the show both the guest and host are wearing exactly the same outfit!
I genuinely could not stop laughing throughout this - how did I ever survive without watching this comedic duo in action 🤣
