Craig Ferguson & Geoff Peterson - Careful, Icarus

September 2, 2011 After a bit of energetic self-promotion on Twitter, Josh Robert Thompson got a clever cautionary tweet in reply. It led to a funny, episode-long running joke on the myth of Icarus and Daedalus.
Note: Personally, I immediately found the tweeter's analogy timely, hilarious and brilliantly appropriate, especially because this Q & A with "co-host" Josh appeared just a few days before. herald-dispatchblogs02.blogspo...

This is one of the funniest most random running jokes I've ever seen

[@amangonecrazy]

i cracked up like shit when geoff said " Father, i want to fly into the sun"

[@Ono7Ovo]

Kristin Bell tweeted that

On no other show would you find such hilarious improv during a monologue.

[@chemical2romance]

In class today my teacher mentioned Icarus. And I'll I could think about was "Careful Icarus...."

[@beavishulme180]

I about lost it when Geoff said "It's the Late Late Show with Icarus".

[@canyongalbeth78]

He is just as adorable without the bleeps ;) I was lucky enough to be in the audience when Sid was on one night...awesome!

[@TheHouseOffice]

Josh Robert Thompson and Craig should be bro's forever.

I must have watched that begining between geoff and rabbitt.. like 6 times...I couldnt stop laughing,,,, it was like it was planned but not planned.. plus the censoring made it even funnier...cause you knew what they were saying,,, it just made it funnier... I am so happy these LLS are uploaded.. It is the only way I can see them... I thank all of you that upload them. It took awhile for me to get used to Josh who does the voice... I really enjoy his excellent quick wit and timing..

[@rbowerz]

Haha so ridiculous that its hard to believe how this wasn't set up...

[@cultureartist]

Is it just me, or did Craig slip into a Hannibal Lector impersonation there for a bit?

[@slasher7555]

You're definitely one of my favorite comedians ever since i first saw you as Mr Wick on The Drew Carey Show back in the 90s.

50 shades of Icarus

[@pandatess]

Careful Icarus....

[@Marcoago]

Thank you. I've just discovered TLLS and it's awesome! ^^

[@ColinsProopkitten]

Craig, Paul F. Tompkins and Greg Proops are some of the smartest (and funniest), comedians around, and none of them went to college. There's hope for me yet! :)

Careful Icarus

[@burpo]

They have it backward. A Van Dyke is worn with a moustache and is currently, commonly and mistakenly called a "goatee." An actual goatee is worn WITHOUT a moustache.

[@Cannibalien]

still funny that some people dont know who icarus is

[@ragdalis]

Careful Icarus...

[@TheMoneysock]

Don't wach the late late show and eat chesse

[@Skotavus]

Man, Sid's quite a cute character - I wonder if he'd be so adorable without those censor bleeps, though...

[@cotybarker]

To keep Jay Leno from trying to steal his job.

[@FLAME4564]

[@Cannibalien]

[@Cannibalien]
