2021 ..off the air more than 5 years he is still the best late night show host that I watched and I'm watching it in the middle of the day and at night whenever I need a laugh
@@Snaakie83 Nah Craig actually loved the idea as soon as JRT suggested it, since they'd already been fully voicing him in some of the sketches. I think it was convincing the producers that it would be worth the effort that was harder
And thus the greatest comedic duo to ever grace late night was born. Thanks Grant Imahara for the gift that is Geoff Peterson. RIP man. Most will know you for Mythbusters but I'll forever know you as the creator of Geoff Peterson.
It will never get better than Craig Ferguson in late night. And never more dynamic than the introduction of Geoff. Thank you Craig and thank you Grant Imahara. We love and miss you both!
The line "You can always sleep through work tomorrow..." Used to completely screw me up, time and time again! I'd end up getting barely 5.5 hours of sleep Monday thru Thursday. I KNEW I was gonna hate myself for staying up to watch the night before... But I usually didn't care, show was soooo good!
I remember one night I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with my rainbow baby, which for those who don't know is a child born after I still birth or an infant loss, and my job at the time was teaching sex education in high school classrooms. That particular afternoon I was lecturing to a room full of medical students about how to engage with at risk youth in a more productive way. I binge watched Craig for two days and stayed up all night the night before. I don't know of anything I said made sense and after my 30 minute segment was over an OB/GYN student followed me out and asked if I was ok😱 I said I was up all night watching Craig Ferguson and she just nodded and said I get it honey he's freaking hilarious 😂🤣
This is the best late night show by far! Pure genius! Fallon and his fake laughs can’t hold a candle nor can any of the rest of them! Gosh is miss Craig, Geoff and everyone else on the show.
funniest thing is over time a lot of people have found out fallon's laughs arent fake, hes just an over the top laughing kinda guy, hes not fake hes just annoying
Late night shows are god awful now. DUDE DRUMPF LMAO Why is there no comedy in late night comedy anymore? Just political commentary. Craig was the best. Late night definitely died when he left like Will Smif said.
@@kevinnelson66 no, Johnny would not have joined the gay robot skeleton army... what the actual feck are you on about??? are you taking the fecking mickey??? cor blimey what the actual feck is the matter with americans??? gormless gobshite twatwaffles to be sure... leave it out for fecks sake...
anyone who thinks james corden is a nice guy who has talent REALLY needs to see what an awesome guy with REAL Talent looks like. Craig understands the method of putting on a 'show'. and he does the best interviews in showbiz today and actually lets the guests talk. imagine that, corden :)
Thank God we still have him. He must have over a thousand spots on TH-cam. I watch his old monologues starting in 2005 every day with breakfast. He's the ONLY one who can make me laugh out loud! Plus good to look at - don't forget that. Even now he's extremely attractive with longish gray hair and a beard. But darn - he's on radio now.
Oh man, I’m so glad I found this. I never saw it when it was on the air. Hey, I was busy and had to get up very early. I’ve seen clips, but not whole shows. This is just insane,... and I like it.
fox_wands Me too. There was nothing like this show. Nothing. It was a running joke whenever they would "Not Like Any Other Late Night Show," but it was the truth. I always loved how laid back this show was. No scripts, no high profile celebrities. Just two friends sitting around talking and joking about whatever. Craig's said that he never wanted to have high profile celebs (Kardashian, Beiber, etc.) because he wanted people who he genuinely enjoyed the company of. I love that this channel on TH-cam exists and that the videos are good quality.
This clip just came up in my feed. I was unaware Grant created Geoff but no surprise at all, kind of funny they made Geoff sound like a Dalek from Dr Who at first. I haven’t had cable TV for 10 years. The man was a robotics genius. He built and operated R2-D2 for some of the Star Wars movies, built a championship battle bot, and the last thing he was working on was a realistic robotic Grogu, he was even planning to market it in limited production.
This might've been the first time the physical body of Geoff was introduced but it isn't when the real Geoff came to the show. The real Geoff came when Josh first voiced him. That's when the true Geoff came 'alive'.
I love that I can still do that arm thing and some few incredible people are like oh my God I love Craig Ferguson too!! Most everyone else asks me if I'm having some kind of seizure.....💀🖖🏽
I could never stop myself from singing to the opening song (not the special one for this episode) of the show. Good thing is was so late at night no one else was ever awake. I could barely stay up that later back then, but I made the exception a lot.
That opening. Man, I miss Craig.
I KNOW, soooooo good!
Most awesome horn section in the history of television.
@@WalkaCrookedLine it gave me the most awesome horn...
Ladies and gentlemen, i present you the absolute best late night host of all time : )
And his sidekick, Craig.
In my pants
2021 ..off the air more than 5 years he is still the best late night show host that I watched and I'm watching it in the middle of the day and at night whenever I need a laugh
@@ThePauprinceaz09 me too
And the most beguiling woman on earth as well.
RIP Grant :(
Balls.
what the hell is going on in this thread
RIP Grant Imahara...as your creation Geoff Peterson would say, “You have a place, in our hearts”💔
Seriously what the fuck is happening. As soon as i saw this i couldn't believe it.
30:40 To skip to remembering Grant Imahara.
And balls
2020 has not been a good year. So many great people have left us. Still you have the old replays of Craig ferguson ❤
Who did the voice for Geoff afterwards?
Damn, i miss this show. No one else did late night quite like Craig did.
least of all his successor.
he was at least the worst late night host in the 2010s and 2020s.
Best opening to any late night show ever.
It's good; but I get a bigger laugh out of his lip-sync to "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" by TMBG. It's on here, of course.
I miss Craig Ferguson, Geoff Peterson, and Secretariat so much. Late night has gone to OOH LA LA! without them.
Grant's the man, but Geoff didn't really take off for me until Josh started doing the voice and movements. Man, did he come a LONG way.
Yeah, golden move to hire Josh.
But I'm pretty sure it was Craig who really didn't want a sidekick...this had to grow this way I guess.

Please come back, Craig!!!!!

Me too!! Craig is sorely missed in late night. I actually went see him once, and he was so nice during the commercial breaks.

So many tomorrow works I've slept through. Still do actually. =p
Ida Dudenmanner respect my man!
RIP Grant. 💔
2020: I'm taking all the goodness in the world.
Us: BALLS!
He got the prestigious Peabody award for the Desmond Tutu interview. Someone should dig that out of the archives.
The fact that this show got cancelled but Kimmel and Fallon are still around is the biggest, steamiest pile of corporate broadcast horseshit.
Thanks for Geoff, Grant Imahara, and for your work in film and on Mythbusters. RIP

This is better lip sync than any other lip sync battle by Mr. Fallon...
I seriously thought at first it was Craig singing the song
I miss this kind of show so much...
Johnny Carson (host) and Joan Rivers (guest) came close, but nobody has ever been this good.
Nothing is as good as this , or even compares to this show these days
Everybody too busy checking out girls in bikinis to notice that they're miming trumpets to a saxophone part.
+ZeroSum23 I know I was. After all what do you think I am a gay robot?
The girl in the middle in the purple bikini in particular drew my attention. :P
ZeroSum23 YES
ZeroSum23 also whats this crap about insturments
sounded more like kazoos
Just heard the news.
RIP Grant Imahara 💕
That's one of the best cold opens I've seen anywhere. I wish I knew more about this show when it was on air.
I miss his late show. Please come back Craig Ferguson!
2020. I wonder what the episodes would be like these days. Lol. I miss actually laughing every day with this show.
With Dave and Craig off the air, no wonder I don't watch late night any more. The best.
Late night comedy died when Craig signed off.
Late night shows are god awful now. DUDE DRUMPF LMAO
Why is there no comedy in late night comedy anymore? Just political commentary. Craig was the best. Late night definitely died when he left like Will Smif said.
Craig, yes. Dave...sometimes...LEno...sorta...thats all.
I guess you all forgot about Conan...
@@jonrmartin teleprompter
Is.... is that a guitar hero guitar? I loved this show with all my heart... This was the first talk show I ever cared to watch. He was the greatest.
I believe Johnny Carson would have joined the Robot Skeleton Army in a heartbeat. Craig probably would have made him an honorary member.
He's playin the shit out of that guitar regardless...
@@kevinnelson66 no, Johnny would not have joined the gay robot skeleton army... what the actual feck are you on about??? are you taking the fecking mickey??? cor blimey what the actual feck is the matter with americans??? gormless gobshite twatwaffles to be sure... leave it out for fecks sake...

can't we like both for different reasons? life isn't an endless competition even if Darwin had an ever-present boner over the idea
All I say to that is, "who????"
Look out there's a monster coming is perhaps the best metaphor for Geoff Peterson's future effect on this show.
For some reason, I really enjoy the song and the music of the show's opening song.
Miss this so much. So original, you never knew what would happen next.
Geoff Peterson: the Dalek Era
2:33: "Look out, there's a monster coming."
IN YOUR PANTS!!!
The way he pretends to talk to geoff at the end is just brilliant.
Let's just take a moment to acknowledge the genius writer of that song - Viv Stanshall of the Bonzos
Now, that's an opening.
Geoff when he was a Dalek, lol. Missed the early shows as I was out of the country, great to watch them now. Craig was the bomb.
"It was a very severe stroke... it burned his suit."
Man, I'll miss this show
The LAST of the good late night shows.
Thank God we still have him. He must have over a thousand spots on TH-cam. I watch his old monologues starting in 2005 every day with breakfast. He's the ONLY one who can make me laugh out loud! Plus good to look at - don't forget that. Even now he's extremely attractive with longish gray hair and a beard. But darn - he's on radio now.
Conan is still hot though.
In 2019 you have no idea how true that is.
For now...
RIP Craig. You were the best late night TV show. You don't see stuff like this anymore.
+i .candy He's not. In fact, nowadays he has a show on the History Channel.
i .candy Maybe they think that, once you're out of television, you're dead (lol).
more like free
Careful Icarus!
Whats the name of his new show please?
I miss being able to say "It's a great day for America" and meaning it.
Oh man, I’m so glad I found this. I never saw it when it was on the air. Hey, I was busy and had to get up very early.
I’ve seen clips, but not whole shows. This is just insane,... and I like it.
Me too !! I missed these early GP episodes. Soo glad I found this today. 😀
It took Craig only 7 seconds to earn my like, I wish I'd give him more than one
Damn thirteen years ago to this day! I just happen to look up a random episode on today's date 4/5/23
Craig was the best late night talk show since Jonny Carson.
just great, this show was fantastic
+Thomas Glauninger
And Craig should have been David Lettermans replacement, i mean this guy beat Jimmy Fallon in ratings.
For years to come, people will be wondering and commenting about why Craig quit.
gpan62 I miss the show so much.
He blatantly has said for years he was just bored with it rofl
Did you see Ferguson on YMH before you posted this?
I miss this bloke :.)

OMG miss this show so much! Yeah Netflix bring us some Craig please 👏👏👏👏 we’ve watched all your offerings during quarantine
13:15, who’s that at the door ? - could this be a first hint of everyone’s favorite pantomime horse 🐴 to come ?
Bad ass show
This might've been the first time the physical body of Geoff was introduced but it isn't when the real Geoff came to the show. The real Geoff came when Josh first voiced him. That's when the true Geoff came 'alive'.
It will take a good year after this before the "real" one appeared :-)
Anyone knows the episode/ date that happened?
@@Apfelstrudl June 3 2009
@@stevehorn646How could Josh voice him a year BEFORE this episode of his debut?
@@johnd5931this Jeff has the voice of Craig himself. He voiced the first bits.
Rest in Peace, Grant.
Oh how I miss this show :(
"how fast this is gonna get old...."
never ever
The fact that Grant still remembers all of the original 7 commands and says them to Craig so he can press them at the perfect time is amazing.
Most underrated artist of late night ... :(
Omg! This is the Geoff Origin story!!!!! Holy shit
Grant was great on myth-busters. RIP
I was always amazed at how Craig turned piles of crap into gold.
March 2022 still gold and save common sense in dark time
Imagine this being performed now, the chaos.
The TRUE king of late night
Common CBS bring back this Legend
Cheers for uploading
so sad to hear that
RIP my friend
All genius ppl are simple and Craig is one of them
funniest guy I've seen on youtube its a shame I missed him when he was actually on TV
The Funniest late Night Host Ever.Christ we need this show back today and I'm in Australia 🦘🦘
Tomorrow was your future when it was yesterday. Just some deep thoughts I got from somewhere.
I love that I can still do that arm thing and some few incredible people are like oh my God I love Craig Ferguson too!!
Most everyone else asks me if I'm having some kind of seizure.....💀🖖🏽
i think we can all agree that geoff wasn't geoff until josh thompson
the intro could have been a bit from a Benny hill show. RIP Benny Hill and Grant Imahara.
2010 Halloween intro Monster Mash on TLLS was epic.
And thus, the LEGENDARY AF geoff peterson was born
I miss Grant.
RIP Grant imahara. ⚰
(2020 SUCKS)
I was really looking forward to this.
i miss Craig's show so much
"Stop, drop and cry"
Take that.. other late night shows!
Am I reading too much into this or are the two gentlemen with the guitars The Secretariat? 😀
grunt-grunt, cracks me up everytime
RIP Grant
Gawd, but I miss Ferguson!
pump up the volume
(it's very low)

13:09 Classic Scottish comeback. "Oh, aye".
This really was the only way to introduce Geoff to the world.
The bonzo dog doo dah band opening was brilliant.
You know he's just singing karaoke to a song by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, right? Featuring the inimitable voice of Vivian Stanshall.
Best intro EVER!
