@@stefanalexanderlungu1503 The question is, *which* of the 2,000 episodes was this tweet on? What was the *date*? Obviously I know roughly from the movie being released, but I am trying to document key episodes on Wikipedia.
What makes it so funny isn't just that it's a silly gag but that the comedic timing and mannerisms are actually really good. Whoever is inside there has some physical comedy chops.
Idk what I love more. The whole idea and premise being so stupid and silly and how they know that and embrace it to the point where it became one of this shows greatest characters. Either that, or the huge smile and pure happiness that Craig shows whenever Secretariat runs out. Him dancing always puts a smile on my face. He must've really loved these moments.
Dave's response as Secretariat left his show was priceless. You can tell he was thinking "So that's what they're spending all my money on over there". What a legend.
I have loved the entire series, from the very first Secretariat appearance on the show and would love for it to continue forever. Being a great fan of the original beloved Secretariat, I loved that Craig keeps bringing out his Secretariat for visits, and to this day every time that doorbell rings I spring to my feet to dance. I even set the music for my cell phone ringtone. Secretariat rules. Dance, horsey, Dance!
There is literally no reason in the world why 2 guys dressed up in a bad horse costume should continually amuse me, year after year. PS: I had tears in my eyes when Secretariat knocked over the Ming vases.
If ever I feel down I watch this and it makes me laugh my ass off. God bless you Craig Ferguson and Secretariat! It's a sin Craig wasn't given Letterman's slot (oooh matron). Such a funny, warm, natural host. We miss you Craig. :-(
+Cloud Cuckoo Yeah, but he didn't want Letterman's slot. Like, at all. He quit of his own accord...CBS didn't push him out. I miss him too (and his new show Join or Die is not a good show by comparison). Even if he got tired of interviewing celebrities and doing Late Night schtick, he was good at it. But with Corden's ratings and critical praise, I don't think CBS is missing Craig at all. We're the only ones who are.
Craig wanted the slot he was in. He didn't want anything to do with the polished, overly cleaned, boring, scripted, fake and unfunny classic late night programming. You can see an evolution from when he started to when he ended in how he pushed the few boundaries that were still left on his timeslot. He reveled in the little freedom he had and did his best to expand that beyond what usual US Television programming allows.
As I understand it Craig was contracted as the replacement for Letterman, however, the network changed their mind at the last minute. Craig was paid out $12,000,000.00ish for breach of contract and was happy to stay on past his contracted period to allow CBS time to organise his replacement.
Totally Fab!!! I hadn't followed any TV until I discovered LLS about 2.5 years ago. I have not missed an episode (including reruns) since!I'm happy for Craig's career evolution, but so very sad that this truly unique thing is going to end!
Thanks for all the comments everyone, glad you enjoyed watching it as much as I did making it. If you're wondering, Allie and I are still friends and she was actually married at the time this aired, so that's why it was so awkward, but we'll see what happens down the road ; )
She was married and you still considered yourself in a relationship with her, and said so on television? Dude... just consider yourself lucky that her husband didn't break your eye socket for that.
this brought back memories of watching Secretariat at the Belmont stakes winning by 31 lengths. The most amazing horse race in history. Neck and neck with Sham on the backstretch. Then just takes off and the rest of the horses just fade away. 31 lengths; 2:24 flat. Record still stands 45 years later.
Thank you so much. She looked like a feisty girl from this clip but oh boy was she indeed feisty on the full interview. And she is 44... WTF?!?! She is unbeliveable awesome.
Visually, Secretariat is awfully made, and has THE MOST insane looking dances, but it proves if you put heart into the character, it can wind up being an icon.
I agree. That 23:35 was well spent. I sat here in bed and flailed my arms every single time Secretariat came prancing out. And wow! That Sid is one mad March hare on the dance floor! Congrats you guys! That must have been a blast!
I feel sorry for celebrities that came on and didn't know the show. When Secretariat came out and Craig started weird dancing, they must have thought they had lost their mind.
Musical Cynic Y'know, I was gonna rip you a new one for all this bullshit, BUT, it's a SECRETARIAT video and doesn't deserve to have all this culture wars junk plastered all over the comments section, so I will just say take your stuff somewhere else and discuss it on some other more topical video, kthx.
My logic mind tells me that two guys in a horse costume is not funny and is just silly, it just shouldn't work! But having only just discovered Secretariat, its the funniest damn thing i have ever seen!
Man i miss my boi Craig on the late show. When Secretariat ran into the waiter and broke all those plates, i completely lost it and laughed so hard i couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I wouldn't disrespect my favorites hosts by comparing them too much, but Conan and Craig really have the same love for being absolutely silly. I find it hard to believe that my sense of humor would be so childish and absurd if i didn't have these gentlemen as my late night bois growing up.

First time I LOL'ed in a long time.
Balls!
I hope your friends/family see this and set it up so that one day you answer a doorbell and there are people in a horse costume dancing :)
Secretariat is the most brilliant dumb idea in the history of late night television.
Be nice if Secretariat make guest sometime again
We aaaaall learned something tonight ;)
So very right.
... and only Craig could pull it off.
Craig had a very demanding timeslot!
Imagine being the person who singlehandedly spawned such an iconic aspect of the show, just through a tweet.
Is that how it came about? Do you know what show it was on?

Only Craig Ferguson could do a cold open with a rabbit puppet and a... Secretariat and absolutely kill it. That takes talent.

Various people actually
Well it got significantly better as the time went along lol
"That's especially for all the people who want me to get rid of the horse."
I love Craig's personality XD
two guys in a horse outfit is the oldest comedic shtick in the book ... still manages to crack me up
I will never stop hoping that one day, when my doorbell rings, it'll be Secretariat at the door.
haha i love how clumsy the guys were in the costume at the first appearance..now, they're jumping up and down and running like crazy:D
The guy screaming "YEAAAAAAAAH" at 22.22, true fan.
Mau Ferrusca 😂😂😂
lmfao xD
Had to rewind a few times I loved it so much
@@Nebuloid1 Same here hahaha, fuvking love it. So passionate
true excitement lol
This video has caused me to break out in uncontrollable hand-waving & dancing every time I hear a doorbell. Thanks, Pavlov!
do you still do?

As do I.

the amount of joy this show has given me. I can't even...
it was a good 10 years. i miss him too.
When ever I would be awake late enough to watch I’d get so excited if Secretariat came out and disappointed if he didn’t
Dave's response as Secretariat left his show was priceless. You can tell he was thinking "So that's what they're spending all my money on over there". What a legend.
Dave used to throw bowlingballs from a tower. So the Dave i knew, loved what Craig did "over there ".

that rabbit dances real hard
Alexandre Fry Go big or go home.
that's because craig uses his right hand
pra nav Well played!! You out-Craiged Craig.
In my pants 👖🤣
Craig Ferguson takes the rejected ideas from other late-night shows and then makes them awesome.
Today, someone asked me who was at the door and I immediately replied "It's Secretariat!" No one got it... then I was sad
😂😂😂
the horse's little breath at 10:45 was adorable
I freaking miss this show!
This was really enjoyable... thanks for putting it together. Really going to miss the LLS.
Best 23 minutes and 35 seconds of my life. DING DONG!
Totally Fab!!! I hadn't followed any TV until I discovered LLS about 2.5 years ago. I have not missed an episode (including reruns) since!I'm happy for Craig's career evolution, but so very sad that this truly unique thing is going to end!
We need Craig Ferguson back in these strange times
It’s amazing he had the dance right at the beginning. Just turned it up a notch when it became a bit.
This was the greatest 23:35 of my life. I could watch this all day.
Craig Ferguson is the best, Was the best night show ever. Thrown together motley crew!
WE LOVE SECRETARIAT!!!! ❤ & We love our interns! #whosthatatthedoor!!
Evan McArthur what are who's that at the door interns---I'm intrigued.☺
i fucking love that rabbit
Why did I not watch this show when he was on !!!!! Hilarious!! I'm kicking my balls yo !!!
same but i do love james
Because he was on at 1:30 AM and you have a life
LOL the faces on the view ladies priceless
and Dave is such a killjoy
He sadly did end up as a cranky old bitch at the end...
The legacy and memory of the greatest thorobred in history is keep alive by this shtick. I love it.

Still. Friend zoned on national TV. You got stones, man.
spdj20 here we are 5 years later...hope you landed her 😎
She was married and you still considered yourself in a relationship with her, and said so on television?
Dude... just consider yourself lucky that her husband didn't break your eye socket for that.
Any updates?
Omg this had me dying if your in a mad mood this will cheer you up!
I love this show.
This show is absolute nonsense... And I love it !!
Hugh Laurie once said that this show was “like stepping into someone else’s dream” and I think he’s quite right XD it’s pure madness
It’s like if ADHD was alive and became a late night talk show.
You are a god send for making this timeline video! Damn I miss Craig’s show
Hes actually had the horse for years. It premiered about 20+ years ago in his old British comedy special 'The Craig Ferguson Story'
I like the secretariat music
Person In Halifax Adore it- Sounds like a crazy Sonic the Hedgehog level! 💖💖💖
I could cry. I love this so much.
Oh, not the priceless Ming vases!
I love Secretariat.
whoever made all of craig's graphic is such a genius. i mean, it's soo fcking rediculous lol
I can't believe I missed this when it was on. He's amazingly talented and the format of the show is non stop exciting. Where is Craig Ferguson?
Loved secretariat. Reminds me of the pantomime horse on an old Monty Python sketch. Still Ive watched every secretariat vid clip.
wow u did a great job collecting the secretariat clips!!
That theme music and dance brings me far too much joy.
Craig is the only late night host that actually seemed to have fun doing the job.
Kudos to the horse's ass for keeping up!
Yep, despite his shortcoming's Craig had the best late night talk show ever.
this brought back memories of watching Secretariat at the Belmont stakes winning by 31 lengths. The most amazing horse race in history. Neck and neck with Sham on the backstretch.

THIS brought back those memories???
Millions of videos on YT, and this might be the best.
That horse is an inspiration.
Secretariat is the only horse I've ever seen wear eye shadow
I loved when Secretariat first started appearing. I didn't hate it when he became a second co-host lol, but the dancing and song were awesome.
Thank you for making my evening, I love me some Secretariat
That was amazing, Dude! I love Secretariat! You guys were lucky!
I miss this show sooo much!!!
So I love the guy at 22:21 that goes "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
I'm crying, lmao, that was the funniest shit I've seen in a long fucking time -
Thanks for making all these videis! You're the best!!!!
Thank you so much. She looked like a feisty girl from this clip but oh boy was she indeed feisty on the full interview. And she is 44... WTF?!?! She is unbeliveable awesome.
Hysterical. Haven’t seen these clips before 😂😂😂
This was such a special show. It was like a kids show for adults.
lol i think the best part of this whole video is the confusion on their faces at the view...they're totally like "what the fuck?" hahaha
XD This cazy character has just earned mai love
Being from Lexington, KY i love that this bit originated from Kentucky.
Visually, Secretariat is awfully made, and has THE MOST insane looking dances, but it proves if you put heart into the character, it can wind up being an icon.
WHO'S THAT AT THE DOOR?
poor Bridger! Craig puts that kid through a lot hah
This is great, thanks!
omg Sid and secretariat together are my fave.
I didn't knew i could laugh for twenty minutes , awesome
I wonder where the Secretariat suit is right now ... cuz I'd buy it.
ClimacticBooBow Craig said on his radio show that he has it in storage.
Kate Beckinsale has it
I agree. That 23:35 was well spent. I sat here in bed and flailed my arms every single time Secretariat came prancing out. And wow! That Sid is one mad March hare on the dance floor! Congrats you guys! That must have been a blast!
Absolute genius
The bunny dancing is killing me 😂😂😂
The bit with stupid Bridger, the little person the hit scantily clad girls and Secretariat is a great one I never saw before.
Nicely done.
I feel sorry for celebrities that came on and didn't know the show. When Secretariat came out and Craig started weird dancing, they must have thought they had lost their mind.
Thank you so much for this!!! :D
That was awesome!! Thanks for assembling this. Now where can I get a secretariat tee-shirt?
Greg Rebetzke I would also love to buy one
lol @ lettermans reaction. he sounds so sincere when he says it's a waste of time.
love the guy in the audience at 22:21 "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
