Craig Ferguson in conversation with Kathie Lee Gifford: Riding the Elephant
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- Join the Emmy Award-winning actor, comedian, and former host of The Late Late Show to hear about his new memoir, Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations.
He shares stories that are “too graphic for television, too politically incorrect for social media and too meditative for stand-up comedy performance.” He discusses his deep love for his native Scotland, and looks back at a career that’s encompassed everything from multiple tours across North America and beyond, five Grammy-nominated stand-up comedy specials, a bestselling novel, two Daytime Emmy awards for Celebrity Name Game, acting roles in The Drew Carey Show, Winnie the Poo, Brave, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. And he shares personal stories about fatherhood, growing up and growing older, becoming an American, and much more.
Recorded on May 7, 2019 at the 92nd Street Y.

I think Craig Ferguson was one of the best things on television. He reinvented the late night talk show. And, as sharp as they come.
He changed Late Night, but once he left, it went back to the same garbage. So really, his changes were temporary.
Yeah, and after he was done doing the best late-night TV since Johnny Carson, they went right back into the TV toilet. Pearls before swine.
Iceland is in the north atlantic, it's capital city is Reykjavik.....how awesome is it that we get great videos like this
Personally, I was surprised to learn that there were NO human residents of Iceland before the Vikings and others landed. Hmph.
And he pronounces it wrong every time

Cool one man
She needs to stop drinking the wine. urp.
Whenever there is a new video with Craig, it's a Great Day in America.
For the whole world, actually.
@@Elgsdyr It was a classic line from his late night show
@@JoePollo I know. ;)
@@JoePollo We were on his show in Hollywood and yes he gave a class act, so funny.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
I’m just feeding myself the latest Craig Ferguson vids.
GG Brother - Then you will thoroughly enjoy his new book. I did....it was fantastic.
@@lesd1923, he seems a brilliant writer but I wasn't wild about the audio book I have to say.
@@lesd1923 When people feed themselves videos, then they hardly read books. They do listen to many words though, whilst not staring at letters.
As long as you listen to people like Craig Ferguson and not to wannabe people like Donald Trump. : >
Hands down the best conversationalist to ever be a part of the late-night platform. The man conveys his insight with a subtle comedic charismatic guile that I’ve yet to see in any other performer. I fucking love him.
Amen on that!
for me, I had to stop watching when he spoke of embarrassment and shame... I was so touched, since I experienced a similar issue in my own life. Thank you, Mr. Ferguson for letting yourself be free. I plan to get his book...and to finish watching this interview.
6:40 “How you remember things isn’t necessarily journalistic accuracy.” Great quote.
i didn't even start the video yet, if Craig Ferguson is in it, it gets a thumbs up
Did the same thing and just because you said that.. gave you one too
A comedic genius and a true friend. This man 👨🏼 needs another show plz
He does, it's called joy and it's a podcast. If he wanted his own talk show again he would be on a talk show again
Craig Ferguson and Eddie Izzard are my heroes. No joke. Their outlook on life, and the wisdom that they share, along with how comfortable they seem ... Such great people.
Good choice!
In My 27 years of life I haven't found someone to call truly my idol like Mr Ferguson
Thank you, Kathie Lee. And Craig. Enjoyed it far more than just entertainment.
I love you Craig Ferguson! so smart, so honest, so funny, so crazy!!! it would amazing to see you perform live. Bless you.
I really liked Kathie Lee’s interviewing style. And appreciated Craig’s brand of insanity, as always! 😂
I was pleasantly surprised. I've never seen her do a long-form interview and she is quite solid here. It's always quick, morning show type of interviews.
I miss Craig and Geoff. Never watched the show live, but thanks to youtube watched almost all the episodes there is. I used to watch his show just before I go to sleep and always got very nice dreams...I smile and once I was laughing so hard in my dreams that i woke up happy never remembering anything ! I do not get his books in my country still...hoping amazon will introduce him soon
Do you mind my asking where you are from? Can you get the books now? Just curious. I only recently discovered him also.
It was the only thing worth turning the TV on for after a afternoon shift was done.
Buy the book. I read a LOT of books, and I LOVE this book, just finished it. Craig Ferguson, hero!
I wanted Geoff the robot over on the side of the stage.....just because that feels right
My God how I miss his show. I've been binging on his various works as of late and really enjoy his style.
I miss the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Sooooo MUCH; IT was The BEST ... Just Say’n … “🍺 Dilly Dilly”❗
it's like they see me as being an absoultely debile person.....
I have good qualities, and many have gotten trashed and abused
sincerely they hurt me so much more intentionally than I did unintentionally.......
one of the show to keep a tv
A surprisingly pleasant interview. Kathie Lee definitely has the chops, and Craig can play it cool. I just wonder, just by seeing this interview, what a spectacle it would have been if James Lipton (Inside the Actor's Studio) would have had the chance to interview Craig. THAT would have been amazing.
Ferguson actually had Lipton on his show twice; at least one of the shows is online.
Miss his late night show. The king. His stand up is great as well. I think he needs a podcast?
James. Hey. He has a radio show you can look up. It was on SiriusXM faction, I don’t think it’s there anymore but you can look it up on TH-cam
I did not know he had gone back to Scotland to live.. So pleased I stumbled on this and will now be searching out the book..I feel like I should say more but think I'll just bask in the afterglow of this. By some sort of serendipity its actually my birthday and this was a lovely wee gift..
I love watching the Craig Ferguson videos
Kathie's voice as so pleasant, a sparkling mood, she creates a gem of an interview
yes
You are clearly watching someone else then. She is absolutely atrocious and annoying to no end
Kathie and Craig r fabulous!
WoW! Craig's Confidence and Kathie's Style... In an Interview! Fantastic! 😎👍👌👏
Wow. This is magic.
I love Kathy's laugh!
I miss his show so much….it was the best thing on late night 🥹❤️
Kathie Lee Gifford interviewing a well known recovering alcoholic while drinking a glass of wine with THE BOTTLE KEPT ON THE TABLE is the most Kathie Lee Gifford thing ever.
one of my favorite dudes! Keep rocking CF!!
A hero and a true inspiration...
No matter the age, somehow this man is like catnip for the ladys. I really don't know how he does it altough i watched him do it for 10 years straight.
Its that Hitlerjugend haircut 😂
@@zdrug3676 I can see you have done your research. Congrats
@@floriangunzer6244 o it's a great cut. Cant lie.
Great sense of humour and wit :))
Watching this because I have to review their movie - this is so gorgeous and was recorded on my 50th birthday.
Kathie Lee Gifford just went way the hell up in my estimation.
Kathy Lee Gifford and Sandra Bullock I can see the similarities in their delivery.
I just bought this book because Craig Ferguson is an amazing and honest man.. I recommend it to anyone to find out what really happens in this man's life
Carson was the best ever, but Craig is really close. A completely different style, but an awesome host none-the-less. And a master flirt.
Graham Norton is right there too, love Craig.
@@jamesbaggett3655
Norton is great at what he does but I think Craig operated on a slightly higher plane?
I love those too they are great together and they make great movies I'm loving it keep up the good work guys
Craigy Ferg in the house!!!
I love this man too. Thank you Kathy Lee. Love you too
Barf
She thinks she can somehow seduce him. Never
Craig is comic genius ❤️
I love Kathy Lee and Craig together.
I NEVER would have picked those two as friends, but Craig's a truly brilliant guy. He spots bullshit a mile away. If he's friends with Kathy Gifford, she's got something going on.
Why can't people be nice?
She is an empty-headed, cunning, avaricious, narcissistic, 60+ year-old teenager. They're NOT friends. He's on a book tour, and he's selling a book (which by the way is excellent, just read it).
She has a great laugh
@@donreed Am halfway through the book. He is friends with her. She's stayed at his home in Scotland, and they're writing and producing a movie together.
@@brendawaechter7575 This may or may not be true, but one can hardly deduce from a book tour that the author is "friends" with the hosts of the show on which he's plugging his book.
Given that the book tour-experience is almost always entirely superficial and mercenary in nature, and in the worst cases, fraudulent --- how many show hosts have said that they read the book when they did not? --- the odds are so overwhelmingly poor that I took the liberty of making a definite statement, which I believe to be true.
However, the only two people who know if it truly is or not are KLG and CF. I hope you're enjoying the book. I found it to be fascinating, and almost incredible that anyone who is successful on American TV can so obviously be intelligent and perceptive, as well.
My FAVORITE AUTHOR AND NOVEL HE WROTE IS FRANK McCOURT ! I LOVE HIM AND MY CLAN IS FROM LIMERICK. 🥰🇨🇮
Really enjoyed the interview, Always got to see your comedic side on the Drew Carey show, The late late show and the Hustler. Never watch an interview before. You are a multi-talented actor comedic and writer. One of your big fans keep up the good work hope your book does well on the bookshelves. Thank you for entertaining the world. I'm one of your big fans!
Craig's the man
Craig is so deep
Listened to this. then American on Purpose. Both are brilliant books!
Love his giggle.
Nice conversation.
I like how Craig sits like a proper gentleman while the host decides to sit like she's watching Netflix in her pyjamas.
HerrBratwurst Her body language speaks volumes. Her Freudian slip happened when she said “ What would it take for you to leave Megan and the kids?” She is obviously smitten with him.
China Man.... Maybe it could of been made in China......
@@loriwinters6831 what? The host is made in China?
Knocking on wood is an ancient tradition, that comes to us from dodecatheism, when ancient Greeks would place a thank you to wood, since it tended to absorb the ire of Zeus (Lightning bolts).
"And Then Came You" was a delightful, feel good movie with Craig and Kathie.. Honestly i wasn't a big fan of Kathie before this movie.. I think Craig brings out the best in Kathie.. And Kathie brings out the best in Craig.. Their chemistry is infectious. it is an honest chemistry. I want to hang out with them.. I have a bit of a crush on both of them right now..
@Rdkuless. Not wanting to say this in a mean way, but, Eeeeeuuuuuuuwwwwwwah. Who could WATCH it through!??
I wanted to watch for Craig, but, OMG! Poor Craig. Did he ever sell his soul to the Devil to make money and endure on this one Lol! If only he could be totally honest about how he feels about her now. ! A Rich ole desperate Drunk... really bad manipulative drunk. Get a VIBRATOR girl! Leave the married men alone@ sheesh.
It's like watching the late late show again with geoff peterson with a different personality chip. You can see him getting into the element with some of the classic jokes
"Norwegian post-punk band" made me laugh, too....
So you're the other one that makes us the ~illustrious two~
What a guy!!!
I LOVE YOUR FLOWY PANTS! 🖤* and you!!♥️😊 Hey there Kathy Lee I am from Crofton Md. My uncle lived a few streets away from you in Bowie Md. I truly respect you momma! 🥰💕
LOVE CRAIG, YOU ARE AWESOME!
fan since 07 can relate i don t like cats too and they always come to me and i also need the rain for my mental health and thank god this year their was some here in germany greetings
i love this interview, especially the fact they are from different spectrums of the universe yet they are friends....just like the recent criticism of Ellen DeGeneres and President Bush....be kind to everyone whether or not your "politics" are not the same. You can do that, ya know!
Wut ? Somebody finally picked up on Ellen selling slot machines ?
I am sad this took me so long to find. I have been a dan of both of them years.
Deep, deep. Hildegard of Bingen-I am more in love with Craig than ever!!💖
I haven't got that far. What did he say about Hildegard von Bingen
@@fe5018 He's binge listening to her.
@@bluezzbastardzz, ah interesting. Thanks 👍
This is how Craig's last episode of The Late Late Show should have went. But _NO_ ... We got Leno! 😋
Craig is probably the only Vegan person that I genuinely love!
Vegans are typically lovely people, just like Craig. Although I might be a little biased as I am one. :)
Jaime Fazackerley
Right.
Gaunter O'Dimm I love Joaquin Phoenix too, another brilliant guy, great actor and happens to be vegan. Personally, I don't care what anybody eats or doesn't eat. Just saying, I love them both.
I haven't seen Kathy since she was co w Regis. I didn't even recognize her at first. She's great! I clicked for Craig. Haven't had TV ovr 10yrs
2:35: Kathie Lee Gifford, former regular on the 700 Club, said a cookie-letter word! ❤️You again.
Wow Kathy Lee looks amazing!!
I am a huge fan of Letterman, and Conan, but for me the best show was Craggie. I love Conan the most as a person though.
I'm afraid you would have to use your Dschörmen accent for Hildegard von Bingen, Craig. ;-) I'm Klaus.
Craig....were not sure if we like him
Kathie we definitely LOVE
SHE SURE KEEPS HER PROMISE'S
Katie Lee he's a good man
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏
Craig should write a book about women
In her heyday Kathie Lee would put Megan to shame -she was gorgeous
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
What year was this?
I would last five minutes as a vegan....watching my morning bacon turn crispy....
'Knocking on Wood' is older than Christ, it's a pagan Celt tradition. But anyway, good chat.
And here I thought Hildegaarde von Bingen was the lead singer of Ass Möde
Thank goodness for the captions
He has that accent AND HE
MUMBLES
ANNOYING
I just have to say this is the first time I've ever felt she was real.
They should have shown the clip when Olivia Munn said on his show “it’s not cheating when it’s up the ass”. The look of shock on Craigs face was interesting. It was bleeped.
Where is the damn movie of you 2???
www.imdb.com/title/tt8367084/?ref_=m_nmfmd_prd_1
I wrote her off, 100%, back when she pretended she didn't know that children were hired in a sweatshop to make her clothing, back in the 90s, and then she threw a fit on television and then in an interview with one of these slave children, thought that singing at the poor girl's face was somehow her way of apologizing. I am surprised Craig with lower himself to her level by allowing her to interview him. He put her down enough on his talk show that I thought that he would never give her the time of day, justifiably
Oh no The Jay Leno Fly!!!
Why Frank McCourt got the Key of Dublin not Limerick?
Stalking him on the computer
Kathie that i
Is
Kathie should be played by Diane Lane
Meeeeeeee melee meeeee
Where is the damn movie already??
Craig, start a late show/youtube thing again
I am a woman of faith like Kathy Lee Gifford, and I hope Craig Ferguson will be a close neighbor to me in Heaven so we can ride nice heavenly elephants there together. 😂
laugh ssoo hard
Careful, Icarus!
Is Kathie Lee wearing Hoda Kotb's bracelet?
AMERICA LOVES KATHIE.LEE
CRAIG i have embassment for you, live with IBS-D FOR OVER 40 YEARS
I've never seen her as cute before
I hate her fake ass.
Richard Tolbert she looks orange and needs some lipstick with a little color.
There is nothing but to do in Scotland but drink and fight....
And invent world changing technology (apparently)
