Craig Ferguson on his Late Night Regrets and Becoming an American |Breaking Bread with Tom Papa

[@vanessawhitneypro]

LOVE and MISS Craig Ferguson! He was SO fantastic on late night TV!

[@UnsaltedCashew38]

It took till 1:10:00 for him to light up and start being his fun and extroverted self again. Seems like being depressed is his baseline mood since leaving the show.

[@Smoshy16]

Loved Craig's take on social media. Reminds me of Mike Tyson's quote "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."

[@markstevens1729]

I also grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and getting rude or in someone’s face was a direct path to fist-to-face contact. I mean really… what else are fists for? 🤷🏻‍♂️👊

Over the years, I cannot tell you how many people kept lauding Craig Ferguson's late night hosting to me. Glad to see people remember his defintiely original take.

[@AvengerII]

Heh. I watched it for The Rabbit, the Robot, and all the other puppets! A yodeling puppet on that Late Late Show was funnier than anything I've seen on The Tonight Show since the early 2000s when they did a Star Wars skit with Gilbert Gottfried playing Yoda!

[@jon.e]

Craig had the GREATEST and most UNIQUE talk show in the history of talk shows. ❤

[@Triple_J.1]

It is still SO GOOD. Nobody will better it: Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson were the best live, improvisational late night host/sidekick in history. Grant Imahara maker of robot skeleton Geoff Petersen was also a legend in his own right: The world was robbed of a genuinely great engineer, prop designer, and TV personalty with his loss. Even Secretariat was hilarious. I'll admit to thinking "this show has gone down hill" after that personality was making regular appearances. Then started to LOL on almost every antic involving the mime horse. Edit: I remember going home for the holidays back when the show was on, my parents are very religious and generally against anything good, wholesome, or funny. But my mom really got a kick out of this pothead entertainment, and genuinely mellowed out a little, and I credit Craig Ferguson for a large part of that.

[@murderXnumbers]

Tom has the best taste in guests. Absolute legends and the convo is great. Big thumbs up!

[@nancywhitten2585]

Fun to see Craig again. Thank you both.

@@terryhuffaker3615 Who cares? This was literally part of the bit. He brought dozens of actresses on who otherwise never wanted to do late night shows and they chose to do the Late-Late show BECAUSE he was such a flirt and BECAUSE it was awkward and this was actually the goal, and BECAUSE it was laid back, and BECAUSE it eas stupid, and BECAUSE it was meant to be funny.

“I worried about my weight and my accent and then BOOM they hired James Corden when I left.”

[@KZ-np8fz]

Craig...on the off chance you may ever read this comment... Speaking for myself and tons of fans of Craig's... we miss you and I don't watch any late night anymore... these days I watch clips of your show on youtube... a lot from Jay Leno Fly channel. The vortex of Scottish charm may be a part of why I so enjoyed you... The accent... sexy Appearance... sexy/ handsome... I'm sorry you were concerned about your weight... we thought you looked good all the time. Personality... charming I know you mentioned you didn't go to college and left high school, but intelligence isn't about schooling... there are a lot of PhDs that are extremely stupid... they simply have expertise, or have been told they are experts, in one area. Your innate intelligence is obvious. You seem to have a good heart. You are pretty open and honest about your past. You are so funny and I loved when you cracked yourself up or Secretariat or Geoff Peterson cracked you up. You were so wonderful with the guests. You are such an amazing flirt...it was fun to watch. I do wish you had enjoyed doing and continued with your late night show... you are so missed!!! I miss your impression of Michael Caine, Sean Connery... I loved when you had Michael Caine on... Anthony Hopkins... not enough time to list all the guests... it seemed like your guests had more fun on your show than any other. Wishing you and your family well. P. S. On hunting... for people who are not vegetarian or vegan, many hunt to be able to afford protein... especially these days with inflation, people can't always afford buying meat from the grocery store. Most hunters, but not all, are very big supporters of wildlife and keeping nature healthy so they can always have game around to feed their families. There are of course some who don't consume what they hunt, which i don't like...trophy hunters, but most deer hunters, turkey hunters, duck hunters do so because they enjoy procuring their own food and some also do so because store bought animal protein is too expensive. Many also grow their own fruits and vegetables on their land. They often believe in self sufficiency.

I wanted to like Corden especially because he was on Dr. Who, but he comes off as an ass in public.

[@stevereber3358]

Richard Dawson was pissed in Hogan's Heroes and they wouldn't let him use his natural accent, Big Arguments, NOBODY WILL UNDERSTAND YOU. So he did the fakey accent, and halfway through the first season The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan... Dawson is from Liverpool...

And Corden isn’t funny…or entertaining. His whole bit was the karaoke routine. Wore it out. And he is an ass.

I loved his accent! It was what first attracted me and then it was the comedy and the way his brain works.

[@georgedennison3338]

One of the best bottles of wine I've had in my 50 years of being a legal drinker was a 1976 Chianti in a basket. I found the bottle at a hot summer day garage sale. I bought it, as a novelty because it was the year of my wife's HS graduation. It was the mid 80's and the bottle sat around in changing seasons, hot/cold, moved from house to house. It was never intended to be drank, so no gentle treatment. Post 1987 divorce, the bottle ended up as an ornament in my younger daughter's room, w/ a momento from my HS graduation. I always figured it would be vinegar, at best. In the mid 90's, daughter's room was redecorated & bottle ended on a shelf. One night my live in GF & I made a big Italian meal, I saw the wine & jokingly said I've got the perfect wine. Egged on, I opened the bottle, cautiously smelled it, (all good), then bravely tasted it. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. Evenly balanced between dry & sweet, a good fruit taste, not too fruity to go w/ the classic marinara I'd made. If I could only duplicate the 'tender' care I gave that bottle for 20 years, I'd have the secret to great wine & a shortcut to riches. LOL

I very much enjoy Craig Ferguson's stand up but really miss seeing him on late-night television with his own show interviewing and having fun interacting with people. Despite being humble and self-deprecating, he is brilliant in his observations and level of insight and one of the smartest conedians around. I still remember when he had Robin Williams on and theur chemistry and ability to improvise and evoke laughter from the audience was incredible and a nater class in comedy

My 94-year-old mother also loved it and was cheered by it. (She's on the treadmill four times a week.) Thank you! 💝💝💝

[@CaptnNMorgan1996]

Best Late Night talk show host in History. Conan and Letterman might have changed late night tv forever, but Craig Ferguson perfected what Johnny Carson did in the most genuine and honest way possible, that was never seen before and will likely never be seen again. The man was himself from the very first episode, until the last.
