@flatliney0What are you talking about? People loved the show. He wasn't fired, Craig just retired. Now it's horrible and everyone hates it because it was taken over by James Corden.
@mojodajojo not really bro think about that graham Norton has 5 ppl on at once n u think they each all open up compared to a one to one interview in the USA vs England really did u think about that variable in the equation before you found the results
Craig has made Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams, Billy Connoly, Bob Saget, Eric Idle, Don Rickles, Norm McDonald, Stephen Fry, Drew Carrey, Russell Brand, Steven Wright, Louie Anderson and many other comedy geniuses genuinely laugh on his late night show. He even makes celebrities who are known to be very secluded open up in his show. All within 10-15 minutes on a show that is still owned by a soulless corporation that only cared about selling Ford trucks cutting off interviews every 7 minutes. Graham Norton had cards, a whole uninterrupted hour plus multiple famous A-list guests. Jumping from one to one to avoid any dead air. He's good but Craig is The Grandmaster of talk show host. To me he's better than Letterman, Carson, Leno and even his Irish brother. The Celtic Tampon, Conan O'Brien. All he had was a bloody mute horse who did things nobody could understand, 5 dollar puppets, harmonica and an appliance robot (the only real help for comedy bits because Josh Robert Thompson is a master himself in his ways). His mind was all he needed. A rusty trombone or random audience members or even a roof leak is what he uses. Post late night he did podcast with Bobby Lee, Bill Burr, Tom Segura, Bert Kriesher, Brad Williams and others and every single one is filled with laughter. As a host or guest, he's one of the best comedy minds ever. He went on Conan and totally took over the show in the nicest way and Conan respected it. And to have veterans, icons of film and all things entertainment like Betty White, Carrie Fisher, Morgan Freeman, William Shatner and Larry King coming back to his show for more than 10-15 times, begging him to not quit in 2014... The proof of his unique geniusery is all there. Ahead of his time. Punk Rock. Genius. Mad. Charming. Hillarious. Trust me, his show will keep aging like fine wine. It's already 8 years off the air and people are still watching it as if it's one of the best drama series. With more vomit inducing PC woke and ass kissing crap on today's TV, his show will be a gem. The value will slowly increase over time and more people will find it. That's how I found it in 2016.
@Mac I will never be able to understand why you clicked on this video in the first place. It’s an interview of someone you know you don’t like. What did you think you were going to get?
@Eric Johnson similar boat here. I watched him pretty religiously between 2012-2014 and caught almost every episode in that last year before it went off the air. He may not have had the biggest following but his following had to be the most loyal. And unlike the Jimmy Fallon types, the quality of his entertainment is still gaining him new fans. I miss the days he was on every night, but it’s kind of cool that he sort of remained in that cult following category and kept doing his thing up until the end. Had he taken over the 11p slot, he may not have been able to do the show his own way. Craig was so unique and was the best conversationalist to ever do late night IMO.
I think he made network people a little nervous, to experimental and weird. They seem to like their talk shows a little bland, perfect viewing for before bed……..
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.
@Adam Rodger wasn't Craig saying that they tried the professional bit in the beginning and it bombed and then he said screw it, the last years were the best, he stopped giving a damn and it was so funny. The finale song was awesome. The best guest is probably Evan Mcgregor and the skits they did, I always cried laughing.
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.
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
@Waltz Craig made a joke at the start and nobody laughed. At the end Gervais said let me do a joke for the awkward pause so that the pause can be even more awkward since no one is allowed to make noise. Craig the said: "No we did that already in the beginning". He is pointing out that nobody laughed at his joke. It's okay if you don't understand. Don't let these people ruin the moment for you.
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.
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.
@Jarod Mendez 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.)
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.
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 :)
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.
@HG 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
@Ron Weasley 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.
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.
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!
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 come here a couple of times a year. It's genuinely one of the best half hour comedy duo in the history. These 2 should do a show, it will be the most watched comedy show easily. Ricky was laughing hard here so many times. 2 great quick witty comics just riffing. It sucks they only met twice on this show.
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.
He was being sarcastic mate. He said it because there was no substance. Very mediocre show is you ask me hosted by an annoying one trick pony, look at me I'm charming schtick, host.
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.
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 wonder what Craig could've/would've done if he had the same budget for his as some of the other late night shows, both then and now. He is massively missed!
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
@The Brazilian Atlantis , that's how we roll in Scotland. For example, Google John Smeaton Glasgow terrorist attack. I'll not spoil it but, a few years ago, a couple of guys tried to set off a car bomb at Glasgow airport. They failed but the rest I'll let you discover 🙂
I loved Craig. He would have the first guest come on and be so engaged in the conversation, he would totally disregard the other guest and just continue the conversation. Miss him so much.
Wow, only Craig could make people feel like they could relax and just show us who they are. He exposed the lame celebrities without them even knowing it.
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!
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.
Not a good idea to watch Craig and Ricky together, at 3am in a house where everybody else is sleeping.... I may have woken a few people up a few times.... .
@Lyanna Winter Totally agree with you there. Laughin my ass off. You don't laugh like this anymore when it comes to whats on tv though. Thank god for youtube!
Same here, it's a quarter to 3... When one works late this show or these well put-together clips are brilliant for quick entertainment and one can pretend this is still a live tv show ;)
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 🤣
The therapist part is even better now that he had Paul Kaye as the terrible therapist on After Life, doing exactly what we worry therapists are probably like in real life 😂
"This is not a television show" is the best way of describing one of the best talk shows EVER on TV. I think Carson is King of the personalities, and his Tonight Show was #1. But you have to go with Ferguson's Late Show as best since then!
Craig Ferguson is comedy gold. How he nonchalantly flirts with his female guests and his comedic timing and wit are next level. I'd really like to see him do his own standup.
Craig was the best in the business! Funny, charming, relatable,. He made every interview into a casual chat with a friend; and he is sorely missed. Now all TV hosts are corporate shills, all cut from the same cookie cutter mold. His guests genuinely had fun, sometimes they were on to promote a movie or whatever, and just get carried away in the fun of the moment and forget to plug the product. Genius. Nobody comes close to Craig among the TV talk show mob...except maybe Graham Norton... Hmmm, I wonder if it's a British thing???
Never been a fan of talk shows, but Craig is an absolute exception!! ❤️ Don't think this was ever broadcasted in Sweden, but I've seen bits&pieces on KZclip 👍. THIS was THE best!! Love Ricky's sense of humour and these two together...OMG 😂😅😂😅💞💞💞
@MattDerringer We've always had various groups of people complaining but none it even comes close to what we see now. The problem is these shows shouldn't be focused on politics and the good hosts always knew that. Of course there were some relevant political jokes but the main focus was to entertain a national audience. Now it's just prioritized to the point of being repetitive political talk shows. It's predictable and stale yet they just keep doing it over and over again. Fallon doesn't even look like he wants to be there half of the time.

Hey, great 👍 vid.
did you guys make a Louis ck joke at that end and NOT even realize it HAHAHAH
Craig was an underrated chat show host one of the best in my opinion.
@flatliney0What are you talking about? People loved the show. He wasn't fired, Craig just retired. Now it's horrible and everyone hates it because it was taken over by James Corden.
@Socratis Dolakis did u used to teach math at umass Dartmouth USA r u from Greece?
@Tastey Music wat u mean and wat is tastey music to you example plz
@mojodajojo not really bro think about that graham Norton has 5 ppl on at once n u think they each all open up compared to a one to one interview in the USA vs England really did u think about that variable in the equation before you found the results
@flatlineyo I have always watched him n was part of the Neilson family
I have never seen Ricky Gervais having so much fun. Making a comedian laugh that hard means Craig is truly funny.
Craig has made Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams, Billy Connoly, Bob Saget, Eric Idle, Don Rickles, Norm McDonald, Stephen Fry, Drew Carrey, Russell Brand, Steven Wright, Louie Anderson and many other comedy geniuses genuinely laugh on his late night show. He even makes celebrities who are known to be very secluded open up in his show.

@Mac I will never be able to understand why you clicked on this video in the first place.
It’s an interview of someone you know you don’t like. What did you think you were going to get?
so true
its just frckn amazing the two of them
@Mac I have a girl in my humanities course with the same sense of humor as you.
You haven't seen him with Karl Pilkington then
I cant believe i never watched Craig Ferguson until now. Why didnt he get more exposure? It's the best talkshow ive seen
@Dr Woo I do not know the British hosts but certainly agree on Ellen and Fallon.
His time slot was just so late it was uncommon for me to be awake a nod watch him. He should have had a Letterman or Leno time slot.
@Eric Johnson similar boat here. I watched him pretty religiously between 2012-2014 and caught almost every episode in that last year before it went off the air. He may not have had the biggest following but his following had to be the most loyal. And unlike the Jimmy Fallon types, the quality of his entertainment is still gaining him new fans.

Had he taken over the 11p slot, he may not have been able to do the show his own way. Craig was so unique and was the best conversationalist to ever do late night IMO.
Agreed, I have been bingewatching for a couple of weeks now and cannot believe I never heard of him before. GREAT show!
I think he made network people a little nervous, to experimental and weird. They seem to like their talk shows a little bland, perfect viewing for before bed……..
I was really sad when Craig left the show, but I decided to give Corden a chance.

Not to mention James Corden is as funny as getting a terminal Cancer diagnosis. Britains loss is Americas loss lol
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.
If Gervais is laughing his ass off, it's gotta be funny.
No. Tbh he founds anything funny..
Tbf he laughs easily at shows. Guys like Harrison Ford and Kristen Stewart are the hard ones, those are the interviews the host nailed.
@Immanuel Kahn Like it's literally the term the guy I was replying to used wtf do you want me to do
@Immanuel Kahn What term was I supposed to use?
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
so true its just epic
frckn amazing the two of them
@Walid Hasni hello. It's Scottish humour. Craig. And English humour Ricky. All the best.
@Waltz Craig made a joke at the start and nobody laughed.
At the end Gervais said let me do a joke for the awkward pause so that the pause can be even more awkward since no one is allowed to make noise.
Craig the said: "No we did that already in the beginning". He is pointing out that nobody laughed at his joke.
It's okay if you don't understand. Don't let these people ruin the moment for you.
That was so fast, wow :)
Well guys sometimes people from other countries, others cultures watch craig and it's not easy to get american humor what's wrong with that ?
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.
Graham Norton.. haven't heard of him? Been living in a rock eh?
Craig and Neil Patrick Harris is brilliant.
Ferguson and Robin Williams interviews were the absolute best.
@Whimsy You take that back! As much as I love Graham,I love Craig so much more. I miss him.
David Cavett was the best
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.
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.
2 years later and speaking of train wrecks…or trucks
@Lorz you heard lol
@Tom Servo what
@Jarod Mendez 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.)
I just can't stop re-watching this. Ricky's reaction is so genuine, and Craig clearly enjoys it, priceless chemistry between them two.
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.
Jep res je
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.
Craig Ferguson was THE most underated chat show, no plastic fake BS just real human interactions. Bring back Craig!!!
Agree. He was fantastic. Conan and Letterman were 1A/1B or 1B/1A, but Craig was right by their side.
@Thomas Hall 😂
Scottish are the most realist, best people to walk this earth
..and the fireplace
Well...except for the plastic skeleton and the fake horse.
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. 🙌
I love Ricky's laugh. You can tell they're both having the time of their lives. 😂
Ricky Gervais and Craig Ferguson. Two of the funniest men alive. I laughed through the entire video! I love them both!
Never seen Gervais this upbeat and relaxed before. Craig Ferguson is missed dearly.
Craig is such a legend. One of those who becomes more appreciated over time. Especially in the hellscape of modern late night.
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.
@HG i didnt say the didnt enjoyed the show. Of course he enjoyed the show. He could be himself and just come on the show

How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
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 come here a couple of times a year. It's genuinely one of the best half hour comedy duo in the history. These 2 should do a show, it will be the most watched comedy show easily.
Ricky was laughing hard here so many times. 2 great quick witty comics just riffing. It sucks they only met twice on this show.
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.
You are right Ricky. It was indeed THE best late night show ever.
@Roger okay adultman, tell us which Late Night show is so much funnier.
If you include British shows I think Graham norton is up there as well
@Club Astro Transcendental Motor Ricky isn't sarcastic, if he doesn't like your show, he will say so. And if he is sarcastic it's not subtle.
He was being sarcastic mate. He said it because there was no substance. Very mediocre show is you ask me hosted by an annoying one trick pony, look at me I'm charming schtick, host.
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.
No such thing as car-crash tv with these two. They are simply so good that NOTHING can go wrong. Love it!
when someone makes Ricky Gervais laugh like that then you know he's a legend
Ferguson was the best late night show by miles
I've never seen this man before. He's really really funny and quick, and working off Ricky Gervais like that was genius.
Ricky's joy at how good the show is is rather lovely, and well deserved of Craig.
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.
NORTON
AND
CONAN
@Pamela Cass Wow me too! I liked Colbert so much better with no audience. Now I watch Seth mostly, unless Colbert has a guest I’m interested in.
If anyone is looking Graham Norton is also really good
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.
This was the only late night show I ever watched. I couldn't watch it without laughing, every night! Now, I watch it here. ❤
These two have the best energy. It keeps a smile on my face and makes me laugh so often.
I’ve never seen Ricky Gervais laugh so much. I’ve usually seen him just commenting on how stupid everyone is and telling them to bugger off. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've never seen Ricky laugh so much in any other show before.
Omg I was crying laughing!!!!!!! 😂 If it were possible for them to do a stand up gig together I would totally pay cuz it would be hilarious!!!!!!
Even Ricky knew how much better this show was than all other late nite
I love Ricky's laugh. it's so genuine
His laugh is adorable!
He always looks like he's having such fun!
I just found out about Craig. He is freakin brilliant and genuine. Bring back Craig and get rid of Fallon, Kimmel, Corden, etc.
Ricky's laugh is pure joy!!!
Merry Christmas 🎄🌹from Scotland!
How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
One of the best chat show ever. Too bad no more Craig Ferguson. But Graham Norton is great too.
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'm surprised Ricky wasn't on this show a lot earlier. He only appeared, I believe, the last year Craig was on. These 2 together are comedy gold.
I love how Ricky understands the essence of the show and the type of vision Craig wants his show to be in just his first appearance.
Now that’s an interview, two guys just being real, best interview I’ve watched on a talk show, love it!
Never heard Ricky laugh so hard... Love Craig.
I love it when Ricky laughs. It's like he's just heard the first joke in the world ever.
This was such a genuine interaction. Very funny and just pure joy to watch
"No, we did that in the monologue" -- probably one of the first times somoene was quicker than Ricky.
@J T love Lee Mack on WILTY, but not on the same level live in concert as Gervais.
@J T Mack can be rapid, not sure about Russell tbh, think he’s slightly overrated comedically speaking
There are other comedians in the UK quicker than Ricky - Lee Mack, Russell Brand to name a few. There's others, usually on BBC or Channel 4 tv shows.
Just 2 comedians at the top of their game, bouncing quips and comebacks off each other !
Now that's chemistry. They made each other even funnier.
@RSidney B thanks for the suggestion
Check out the Robin Williams and Ewan McGregor shows. Those were great as well.
If anyone reading is wondering if he's any good doing a gig, the answer is yes. Yes he is. He's just as brilliant on a stage.
I wonder what Craig could've/would've done if he had the same budget for his as some of the other late night shows, both then and now.
He is massively missed!
I didn't know Ricky Gervais was so much fun! Now I know he's a terrific actor, too!
I genuinely could not stop laughing throughout this - how did I ever survive without watching this comedic duo in action 🤣
Craig was always so self-deprecating, but they really hit something special with this show. I really miss it.
He added Geoff and the horse, which added more comedy value. Geoff had two great lines at the end of this video.
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
I've watched maybe a million clips and finally realized- Craig was probably the first punk talk show host on a national network.
It's true. Doubt we'll see it's like again.
🤘🤘
the robin williams interviews should win awards especially the chlamydia comments
@The Brazilian Atlantis , that's how we roll in Scotland. For example, Google John Smeaton Glasgow terrorist attack. I'll not spoil it but, a few years ago, a couple of guys tried to set off a car bomb at Glasgow airport. They failed but the rest I'll let you discover 🙂
@Bongo138 "He was a punk." He once dealt with a heckler by knocking him out cold.
Love this Greg Ferguson and Ricky Gervais it don’t get better talk show episode for comedy ever
I loved Craig. He would have the first guest come on and be so engaged in the conversation, he would totally disregard the other guest and just continue the conversation. Miss him so much.
Wow! When these two guys get together it’s amazing. I have not laughed this hard in a good while
Ricky has the histerically funniest laugh I've ever heard
Haven't had such a massive laugh in a while. Unreal host, unreal guest!
I have never seen Rick Gervais laugh like that. That was a great show. I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt. Awesome!!
These two together are so fun to watch xD He makes Ricky laugh so much and his laugh is so contagious lol
I saw Craig do his live stand up in 2008 and it was the most hilarious experience ever!
Wow, only Craig could make people feel like they could relax and just show us who they are. He exposed the lame celebrities without them even knowing it.
Best show! Can't believe Craig wasn't getting more hype.
theres nobody funnier than ricky you have to love this guy specially when hes hosting the golden globes
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!
@Immanuel Kahn Definitely not.
@Immanuel Kahn lol, nah, he's having a genuinely good time with Craig
Ricky's laugh is as fake AF.
His chats with Robin Williams are some of best comedy ever!! But this is pretty darned good!
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’m not a troll but at my last days I just love to watch Ricky before I go to sleep. It makes me happy. 🥰
Merry Christmas 🎄🌹from Scotland!
How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day today?
12:40 is one of Craig’s best ever quick witted responses! Gotta praise how brilliant that was and Ricky loved it!
Not a good idea to watch Craig and Ricky together, at 3am in a house where everybody else is sleeping.... I may have woken a few people up a few times.... .
1 am over here…. 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
SAme lol
Me! Now!!!
@Lyanna Winter Totally agree with you there. Laughin my ass off. You don't laugh like this anymore when it comes to whats on tv though. Thank god for youtube!
Same here, it's a quarter to 3...
When one works late this show or these well put-together clips are brilliant for quick entertainment and one can pretend this is still a live tv show ;)
I can't believe this isn't a show any more. Not that it was to start with. But it should still be.
@The Jayleno Fly he would ave kaeled it
@Alana Banana Canada Kael rhymes w/ kale, which Fergy joked about every chance he could. Consider this your teachable moment of the day.
Kael aaaa
DocDemonic 801 i dont get it either.. Kael?
It absolutely should be
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 🤣
My favorite comedian and my favorite talk show host. This is a grand slam.
Definitely best talk show ever. Craig Ferguson the king of deconstruction and a comedic genius.
Yes, Ricky, it is. THE GREATEST CHAT SHOW EVER!!!!!
So lucky I watch him live, and still come back for more
This guy was the best TV show host of all. He always strikes up a great rapport with his guests!
Miss seeing Craig on late night show. Always entertaining.
He is hilarious. We should have more shows like his.
The therapist part is even better now that he had Paul Kaye as the terrible therapist on After Life, doing exactly what we worry therapists are probably like in real life 😂
Yes Ricky Gervais, that is correct, this was the BEST Talk Show Ever!
I love Ricky’s laugh.. so contagious !!
Geoff will always be the greatest sidekick. "Why don't you come over here and I'll show you?"
hahah :D
I love Craig Ferguson....the best talk show ever!!!
"This is not a television show" is the best way of describing one of the best talk shows EVER on TV. I think Carson is King of the personalities, and his Tonight Show was #1. But you have to go with Ferguson's Late Show as best since then!
There are comedic gold together, why was there never a show with them lol
So glad youtube reminded me to rewatch through all of your compilations, even years later, have to say thanks for posting.
Craig Ferguson is comedy gold. How he nonchalantly flirts with his female guests and his comedic timing and wit are next level. I'd really like to see him do his own standup.
Man I miss this show. Thanks for uploading all this stuff. Craig blew Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon out of the water.
And we'll never see another as good as him. I guarantee it.
Colbert is also fantastic
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
Craig is still the best but Colbert and Kimmel are pretty funny. Fallon though...
aweha I
This is the funniest talk show ever. Shame it ended.
Craig was the best in the business! Funny, charming, relatable,.
He made every interview into a casual chat with a friend; and he is sorely missed.
Now all TV hosts are corporate shills, all cut from the same cookie cutter mold.
His guests genuinely had fun, sometimes they were on to promote a movie or whatever, and just get carried away in the fun of the moment and forget to plug the product. Genius.
Nobody comes close to Craig among the TV talk show mob...except maybe Graham Norton...
Hmmm, I wonder if it's a British thing???
I wouldn’t be calling an Irishman “British” if I were you!
Celtic thing
Never been a fan of talk shows, but Craig is an absolute exception!! ❤️ Don't think this was ever broadcasted in Sweden, but I've seen bits&pieces on KZclip 👍. THIS was THE best!! Love Ricky's sense of humour and these two together...OMG 😂😅😂😅💞💞💞
My face hurts from laughing after (re-)watching this, and I'm barely even on any drugs!
These two are hilarious 😂
This is a perfect pairing. Comedy gold.
Can you imagine that this gold was thrown away and Jimmy Fallon's garbage exists!
Craig left voluntarily stop trying to complain
Not only that, but replaced by an unfunny hack who lucked into a hit show in Britain.
@MattDerringer We've always had various groups of people complaining but none it even comes close to what we see now. The problem is these shows shouldn't be focused on politics and the good hosts always knew that. Of course there were some relevant political jokes but the main focus was to entertain a national audience.
Now it's just prioritized to the point of being repetitive political talk shows. It's predictable and stale yet they just keep doing it over and over again. Fallon doesn't even look like he wants to be there half of the time.
Jimmy fallon is the best
Ricky and Craig should put on their own show and double team guests with their combined resources! 🤪🤣
I can't believe I have not watched this before! Instant favourite 😂😂😂
And I thought Gervais and Depp had good chemistry!
Even Ricky Gervais impressed by this greatest chat show ever.
