  • 4 and a half Appearances out of five of Billy Connolly on the late late show with Craig Ferguson in chronological order. (in the beginning in the video, it reads 5/5 appearances, which is not entirely correct, it's 4.5/5)
    The title should tell you how I feel about these two. Enjoy!

    The reason he's attacked by the 'Scottish' press is, all our media is owned by people in another country. Scots love him, as evidenced by selling out every gig he played here.

Sometimes you like the guest but you know the host is just gonna be horrible so I don't bother, but not with Craig.

      I hadn't heard he was sick which is very sad. I saw him live while I was recovering from a bad traffic accident. He starts off slow, but by the end he brings all the threads together, and my jaws literally hurt from laughing so hard, as did the rest of the audience. I almost wanted it to end I was in so much pain, but it felt good to laugh like that after so many months of recovery. Best wishes Billy!

    apparently, he was my uncle's apprentice in one of the shipyards in Glasgow.
    Legend has it, my uncle was quite a witty man (it is sort of a Glaswegian trait) and Billy would often write down 'zingers' that my uncle would crack.
    The only man alive who could confirm or deny this is now Billy.

Anyway nothing against David Attenborough cos he's a smart man know's his stuff does old Davie boy. But to say that the Big Yin born in Glasgow no less is on a par with Sir DA is like asking why Sir Sean Connery says we are up against our old advershary, advershary, I think you mean adversary dear boy no, it's because he's James Bond he can say what the heck he likes yash

      Being Scottish his accent cannot get thicker! by the same time his American accent starts to fade , as he's not American by birth & therefore his adapted American accent starts to fade , when talking with someone from home as it were.

    Great post. He's like the, crazy as a fox, uncle who promises to bring a kid a gift and you realize that he's the gift. You don't want to let him go or give him back, because of the boundless joy he brings to our lives.

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Billy live on various occasions. I've never hurt so much in my life, literally crying with laughter.
    I remember seeing him at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. He started off talking about dogs, then quickly went off on a whole series of tangents. About 90 minutes into the show he suddenly stops and says 'where were we? Oh yes, dogs'.

  • @kevc6115
    @kevc6115 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Billy is hands down the greatest stand up, observational comedian of all time. (The keyboards are on fire). He tells true stories that diverge into mutliple other true stories but all link back to the original story. I recommend everyone checks out his material from the early years to the sober yerars LOL! 1 of my many faourites is the story about moving to Beverly Hills and going up the hill to go home and seeing a guy carrying a crucifix. Just thinking about it I'm in tears! His story about learning the banjo in Scotland will have you in stitches. I could go and on. Hi s appearances on tv chat shows were always anarchic much more so than this. The "Not The Nine O'Clock News" sketch where he met his wife Pam is pure comedy gold.
