Yeah........about that. Witty, cool? that penis bit was not funny at all. It's just more of the same tasteless Hollywood garbage we have seen in talk-shows for years.
Craig talks to all of his guests like an old friend, and I think that's a big reason why his more "flirty" jokes don't come off as creepy. It's all in the demeanor.
Yeah, she was. Obviously, I grew up watching Star Wars, but years later, she was in a B-movie with Patrick Dempsey called Loverboy, and I was moved by her self-deprecating humor, quick wit and charisma. In an interview she was in around the same time, I discovered that's just how she is. Cool as fuck.

@@ericbergevin4948 True. Also the way in which Norton researches his guest and makes them comfortable which then brings some of the most hilarious stories ever. Conan, Craig and Norton. Nobody even comes close to these guys.
Carrie Fisher had one of the brightest minds in Hollywood, and no muzzle on her tongue. I've seen a number of interviews and presentations by her, her wit was first rate , especially if she had a target present she had a history with.
Carrie had the quick wit of her mother and came up with some of the best quips, like the ones she made regarding the "Star Wars" franchise (the one about George Lucas and the metal Bikini bra she wore in "Return of the Jedi almost had me rolling on the floor). Loved her and Debbie and have a hole in my heart since December, 2016. Stay safe, everyone.
There are a good handful who have accomplished this feat, but none as well as Kate Mara - and she did twice. Once with brilliant comedy and the other with cumulative flirt.
A blowjob is also known as "giving head". So he's saying that her head (the act of) is fantastic. It took CF a few seconds to get the wording worked out in his mind, but he nailed it. His comedic timing is so good.

Jeff Goldblum is actually an accomplished jazz musician.

Craig was the master of play and everyone wanted to be a part of the fun. That fun has gone from late night. Haven't watched it in years. Bring on the next Craig.
Why do you say that? Because it's an over rated thing people say on You Tube? In the ratings game, Craig's show was one of the Highest Rated Talk Shows of all time. It won numerous awards, or was nominated for many awards.
@@ViewThis. Because relatively, Craig is much less known by name than other, quite boring and bland, hosts. Everyone, even people that don't watch late shows, know names such as James Corden, both Jimmies, Connan... At least from my experience, whenever a topic of late shows comes up, Jimmy or Connan instantly gets referenced, and no one even mentions Craig once.
@@Retrostar619 True it wasn't promoted by the network, but as I said "Craig's show was one of the Highest Rated Talk Shows of all time. It won numerous awards, or was nominated for many awards." So saying it was under rated is really stupid, especially since it wasn't promoted yet had such high ratings.
He is so naturally funny, an incredible sense of humor, I didn’t really watch him when he was on, now, I wish I had. Thank you Jayleno Fly, for posting his clips, they’re great to watch
I’ve been to a few tapings of Craig’s show and it was amazing. Super chaotic in the best way and he’s equally as quick and funny and genuine off camera.
1. Enigmatic basically means Mysterious 2. The names are there so people don't ask everyday. 3. The recent waves of SJW warrant the following disclaimer: The videos above are completely taken out of context because of the nature of the compilation, these puns/jokes/comments are not nearly as blatant as they may seem to the super sensitive individual. With all that out the of way, hope you enjoy!
Great work JLF! I think my favorite quick witted CF is in Laurie Holden’s interview. She tells him he hasn’t lost his accent because “the Rs are the same.” Without missing a beat, CF says “yep my Arse is exactly the same as it’s always been.” Just sooo fast and sooo funny. It’s a real talent. Edit- oh and when he translates Adrianne Palicki’s hieroglyphs... and the “Annette” bit with Stephen Wright... geez, so many...
Good thing Craig quit the show when he did. Just imagine how the snowflakes would melt if he were on today.. Lord those idiots know how to ruin good fun.
I suffer from bouts of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I always know I've hit rock bottom when I keep coming back to Craig Ferguson. At my worst, he is the only person who can still make me laugh. And since he too has been a depressed alcoholic once, my dependency on his work is even stronger.
I'm a chronic illness patient, and sleep is a very distant memory. Craig Ferguson saved this wee lass' life, and I miss him tremendously. I'm really glad he's fought off his alcoholism, very thankful he was named Guardian of Scotland
Especially funny since he talks (and writes) often about how he got his start in stand-up comedy by being drunk all the time. Big booze problem early on (almost committed suicide one hangover morning), but he managed to quit and hasn't touched a drop in decades.
I think the sequence at 4:05 is the one that makes me laugh the most and perhaps the greatest exchange in late nigh TV history. How quick he was, while being incredibly clean at the same time. Blows my mind every single time.
Jayleno Fly. I want to thank you for all you have done with this channel. I've worked nights most of my life so I never got to watch this show. After watching here you've shown me a man that couldn't have taken a more different path in life than I did, but I've come to respect and revere Craig very much. A man with rapier wit and is very intelligent. Thanks again.
I've never seen keanu reeves on any talk show. Didn't know he was on Craig's show, but that makes sense because Craig is great with people and Kenau being so private.
As you know we just purchased a 2014 FJ Cruiser. Matt writes, "I just saw you guys bought an FJ cruiser yourselves, so I figured I'd email you guys a picture of my own rig that I'm excited about!

Just went through its first snow equipped with Toyo Open Country AT3 all terrain tires 285/70R17 and passed it all with flying colors! Hope you guys enjoy your rig as much as I do and maybe one day run into you guys on the trails!"
Oh you think it was rough for the Academy when Rocky hosted the Oscars? Imagine what Craog Fergusin would do that sham of an institution if he got to host. It would be glorious
Ok, so I've been watching this channel for quite some time now (found it by accident) and I gotta say you are doing an amazing work. Keep it up man, this is a treasure trove of hilarity and charm. I feel like I'm on a quest now to watch all of the interviews, so your work is highly appreciated!
He did an interview with Robin Williams a few years ago. The only person I have ever seen that could keep up with Robin and they joked and worked off each other. Great interview
I miss this kind of show. Talk shows after this just became about sketches and gimmicks and they were designed to be predictable and safe. Craig was so anti-all of that. He was just about being funny and was rarely ever scripted - even if there was ever a script for something, he would throw it out anyway.
"What's in that?"
"Confidence"
This is one of the most iconic one liners in TV history.

No gimmicks like a talking skeleton or dancing horse.

This is quick wit gold.
What was the motorcycle joke punchline that got censored? I don’t get why it got so many laughs?
Even Craig’s unspoken gestures were genius. At times he playfully crosses the line even, but they were subtle - the guy had class to match his wit.
"how do you think I got this job?" Lmao
I died 💀😂😂
The most underrated host on Late Night.
Why do you say that? Because it's an over rated thing people say on You Tube?
In the ratings game, Craig's show was one of the Highest Rated Talk Shows of all time. It won numerous awards, or was nominated for many awards.
@@ViewThis. Because relatively, Craig is much less known by name than other, quite boring and bland, hosts. Everyone, even people that don't watch late shows, know names such as James Corden, both Jimmies, Connan...
At least from my experience, whenever a topic of late shows comes up, Jimmy or Connan instantly gets referenced, and no one even mentions Craig once.
@@ViewThis. Because the show wasn't promoted by the network, so he's far less well known and appreciated than other hosts.
@@Retrostar619 True it wasn't promoted by the network, but as I said "Craig's show was one of the Highest Rated Talk Shows of all time. It won numerous awards, or was nominated for many awards." So saying it was under rated is really stupid, especially since it wasn't promoted yet had such high ratings.
@@ViewThis. That is a fair distinction.
The last generation of 'real' talk shows. Criminally underrated bit of genius. There will never be another.
He’s always the coolest person in the room
Unless Carrie Fisher is in the room ;-)
That Jeff Goldblum vs Craig Ferguson thing was tight!
Craig got along with 99% of his guests so easily. Goldblum is a nut like Craig. Two peas in a pod, or nuts in a shell. ;o)
Two drummers drumming. Bob Newhart was a drummer.
That was legendary!
Yooo B they ripped that beat beyond city streets mos def!!
He is so naturally funny, an incredible sense of humor, I didn’t really watch him when he was on, now, I wish I had. Thank you Jayleno Fly, for posting his clips, they’re great to watch
That Chris Pine joke was absolute gold.
I’ve been to a few tapings of Craig’s show and it was amazing. Super chaotic in the best way and he’s equally as quick and funny and genuine off camera.
I think I've never thumbed up so many videos in a single channel...
Thank you so much for all these!
Confirmed: No one could outwit The Ferg.
I thought so until I saw this video: th-cam.com/video/lvPxRyIWWX8/w-d-xo.html
Check it out and you might change your mind. Enjoy!
If you were faster than him, you've got about a nano second to jump in there before he unloads his wit. Good luck.
I can think of a few but I'll let you have this one.
Sigh, there's always one...
LEMMY K. IS GOD Conan O'Brien
1. Enigmatic basically means Mysterious
2. The names are there so people don't ask everyday.
3. The recent waves of SJW warrant the following disclaimer: The videos above are completely taken out of context because of the nature of the compilation, these puns/jokes/comments are not nearly as blatant as they may seem to the super sensitive individual. With all that out the of way, hope you enjoy!
The Jayleno Fly you’re doing God’s work.
Great work JLF! I think my favorite quick witted CF is in Laurie Holden’s interview. She tells him he hasn’t lost his accent because “the Rs are the same.” Without missing a beat, CF says “yep my Arse is exactly the same as it’s always been.” Just sooo fast and sooo funny. It’s a real talent. Edit- oh and when he translates Adrianne Palicki’s hieroglyphs... and the “Annette” bit with Stephen Wright... geez, so many...
Good thing Craig quit the show when he did. Just imagine how the snowflakes would melt if he were on today.. Lord those idiots know how to ruin good fun.
Frankincensed absolutely right. As much as I hate to say it, I’m glad he quit when he did. Would have sucked to watch them neuter him.
Jackson Myers Man! Thats right, I'm familiar with all of those. Def gonna be in vol. 2, thanks Jack!
I suffer from bouts of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I always know I've hit rock bottom when I keep coming back to Craig Ferguson. At my worst, he is the only person who can still make me laugh. And since he too has been a depressed alcoholic once, my dependency on his work is even stronger.
You are a gentleman and a scholar for continuing to produce these videos, thank you sir. I tip my hat to you, 🎩.
And he tipped his hat, like this.
8:21 Craig: "Let's go for a comercial brake?" Keanu: "Yeah, sure", while promply snatching his promised pomegranate
"Promptly snatching his promised pomegranate"...nice alliteration👍
wouldn't it be promptly picking his promised pomegranate?
@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 I think it was already picked
Ethan Breeden picking is also a synonym of selecting, not just the plucking from the earth
Well, Keanu kind of had to--in order to hide what a slow witted sloth he is.
Carrie Fishers is the only one who caught him off guard, legend
I'm a chronic illness patient, and sleep is a very distant memory. Craig Ferguson saved this wee lass' life, and I miss him tremendously. I'm really glad he's fought off his alcoholism, very thankful he was named Guardian of Scotland
Carrie Fisher - the only person who can upstage
...and Robin Williams.
Freaking Craig Ferguson and Carrie Fisher together are MAGIC! 🦄🌈🎉
@@khymaaren True.
@Mowgli Mccabe Which book would you recommend to begin with?
@Mowgli Mccabe Thank you kindly! :-)
What's in that?
Confidence!!
Sir, that was the smoothest comeback in the history of mankind
Especially funny since he talks (and writes) often about how he got his start in stand-up comedy by being drunk all the time. Big booze problem early on (almost committed suicide one hangover morning), but he managed to quit and hasn't touched a drop in decades.
I think the sequence at 4:05 is the one that makes me laugh the most and perhaps the greatest exchange in late nigh TV history. How quick he was, while being incredibly clean at the same time. Blows my mind every single time.
can you explain me the joke, please? I'm not fluent at english.
@@napoleonisthegreatest.2448 He was talking about the parrot repeating everything he said. Then Craig started repeating everything he said.
@@jkjives1786 So, to imply that He himself is also a parrot? :)thank you.
@@napoleonisthegreatest.2448 You're welcome. Yes, Craig was being a parrot or "parroting" everything the guest said.
@@jkjives1786 to be precise, the guest was saying his son was "like" a parrot, altho he used a metaphor rather than a simile
Carrie Fisher is the only person that made Craig legit laugh
Watch his videos with Don Rickles
robin williams
sandra bullock made him laugh-cry
The only late-night talk show host I ever fully embraced. Genuine on so many levels.
Jayleno Fly. I want to thank you for all you have done with this channel. I've worked nights most of my life so I never got to watch this show. After watching here you've shown me a man that couldn't have taken a more different path in life than I did, but I've come to respect and revere Craig very much. A man with rapier wit and is very intelligent. Thanks again.
My pleasure my man! That is kind of poetic, I love that, and also, glad you enjoy em!
There's never been a better talkshow host than Craig. He's sadly missed 😭😭😭
How have I only discovered this guy today in 2021 ??? So funny, time to binge watch.
I've never seen keanu reeves on any talk show. Didn't know he was on Craig's show, but that makes sense because Craig is great with people and Kenau being so private.
I like the fact that keanu reeves is so private, I think this is the best way to go
I know he was on Letterman with his band Dogstar, and I think he sat for some chat.
"Everybody in Hollywood thinks your head is fantastic!" - Things I would never get away with saying but I'll probably say anyway.
How does he make everyone as chilled and quick witted as him 😂
So sad this show is no more. Thank god for yt, and channels like these! Keep it up x
How is no one talking about the Geoff comment?
“What have you done that’s gay?”
“Come over here and I’ll show you”
Really unappreciated line
craig was definitely underrated, he was so classy and incredibly entertaining and quick
This was the best Craig compilation I'd ever seen!
Thanks a million, you made my day!
"THEY MARCHED!" This man is a god
As you know we just purchased a 2014 FJ Cruiser. Matt writes, "I just saw you guys bought an FJ cruiser yourselves, so I figured I'd email you guys a picture of my own rig that I'm excited about!
I bought this last July and have been loving it ever since. It is in the mountains of northern NM most weekends, and is extremely capable! Just went through its first snow equipped with Toyo Open Country AT3 all terrain tires 285/70R17 and passed it all with flying colors!
Hope you guys enjoy your rig as much as I do and maybe one day run into you guys on the trails!"
Craig.....come back to Late Night!!!! We need you in these dark ages lol
I feel so stupid for never watching this show when it was on. CF is the definition of charming
This is hands down, the best Craig Ferguson late show compilation I’ve seen on the google tube!
Why this man hasn’t hosted the Oscars yet baffles me!
He quit the show because he didn't want to do it so go figure
too much pc
Oh you think it was rough for the Academy when Rocky hosted the Oscars? Imagine what Craog Fergusin would do that sham of an institution if he got to host. It would be glorious
Probably because he isn't into the fakery of the whole thing. Even to mock them.
He's too smart for that.
RIP Carrie.
RIP my AXE, I need a new axe!
Still gold. Never be a show as great as this again as long as time exists.
You're really keeping his legacy alive. One day he'll invite you to his mansion. Make a vlog of it, please.
The best one here was the "A-positive/Oh yes you are" one. Simple but sensational.
Ok, so I've been watching this channel for quite some time now (found it by accident) and I gotta say you are doing an amazing work. Keep it up man, this is a treasure trove of hilarity and charm. I feel like I'm on a quest now to watch all of the interviews, so your work is highly appreciated!
Glad to hear, enjoy!
How to get better at this kinda stuff? Is there a book to read?🤣
"RELIABLE ?" so effortlessly great
He did an interview with Robin Williams a few years ago. The only person I have ever seen that could keep up with Robin and they joked and worked off each other. Great interview
I really miss Craig Ferguson as a late night talk show host. He was the best. SO FUNNY!
I miss this kind of show. Talk shows after this just became about sketches and gimmicks and they were designed to be predictable and safe. Craig was so anti-all of that. He was just about being funny and was rarely ever scripted - even if there was ever a script for something, he would throw it out anyway.
Not to mention Trump meltdowns.
I am a little bit worried because most of Graig jokes were sexual.
He never fails to entertain 😂
This must be one of the greatest videos i've seen. Thanx a million mate.
His episode with Robin Williams still remains the greatest episode in Talk show history.
If social interactions were an Olympic sport he'd win gold everytime
