    i just saw a tape of craig performing stand-up in 1987, and his accent now is much more americanized

    The interviewer is not that bad, and I like the fact that he let Craig talk freely. I prefer this kind of approach, which is the same Craig has, rather than when hosts keep on interrupting guests just to be noticed. Anyway, Craig should teach people how to chat, he's a master!

    LISTEN TO HIS AUDIOBOOK. It's the audio version of his book, read by Craig himself. I've listened to it twice now. He does a fantastic job explaining things in a natural tone that really gives you a better idea of what his life was like. I got it at Audible.com.

    Just ordered this book from borders.
    "Fuck Hollywood!"
    Craig Ferguson is far more entertaining than any other "Late nite" talk show host and it's all due to him being grounded & realistic.
    Appreciate the post !

      I have read that same post by others on other videos about this book. Would seem to signify how invaluable it is when someone writes about actual trials and tribulations they’ve lived through and overcome so that it can inspire others to know they can do likewise.

    the interviewer is pretty boring and kind of dry, but even so, Craig really knows how to answer questions in an enlightning and entertaining way.
    I just ordered the book online and I can't wait to read it! I'm sure its going to be great!

      I finished watching the inteview, and then read your comment, and realised even I did not listen to him saying 'fuck', without censorship. Daaamn.
      Thanks for this realisation.

    Just because this nation was the first one to be founded upon these ideas. Freedom is the one value which justifies the US in its very existence. Obviously, European democracies and every other free nation equally stand for liberty and justice but I don't think there's an other country which exists for the sole reason because people wanted to be free.

    I dunno. I totally agree with you that the United States exists solely because people wanted to be free but I don't know if they're unique in that position. Some other countries come to mind like Cuba or India. They might not have the most free regimes today but neither does America, you know? I think a lot of countries were born or at least radically changed due to aspirations of freedom. See what youre saying though with the US being created for freedom where other countries have prior history

    Actually democracy was invented in Athens, not that this has anything to do with Craig Ferguson.

      Things weren't nearly as crazy in 2009 as they are now. But he explains in detail in his book.

    um...Democracy was invented in Greece...by Democras.

    • @libertyresearch-iu4fy
      @libertyresearch-iu4fy 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      A couple of things: 1. Athens, at that time, was a Greek city-state. 2. Democras is not a real person. Where did you get that?; 3. One person created democracy? It literally means "people power." How ironic but wrong.
      Democracy was probably created by the Greeks of Athens or possibly before that.
