Geoff Peterson makes Craig Ferguson cry 💀

[@thejrtshow]

Yes, I’m really the voice and operator of Geoff Peterson (and Sandra the Rhino 2.0, all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, the entire Shy Fellas band and more!). And this is REALLY my YT Channel! Pretty much every Geoff and Craig interaction was unscripted, and this moment is no exception. For several nights in a row Craig was busting Geoff's balls (pun intended) about not having lips to blow a harmonica. So during this segment, while puppeteering/voicing Geoff, I'm also flagging down our props guy, Eddie, to run and get a harmonica. When Craig hears the harmonica sound coming from Geoff's mouth, his look of surprise is genuine. Here are some of the other characters I played on the show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHVkJSDdtafgsk

[@thejrtshow]

Many people think Geoff’s mouth movements were voice activated, but in reality I had to flip a switch every time to make the mouth move. Every. Single. Word. There were also separate controls for his right and left arms, head swivel and blinking eye lights. Someone asked recently if the harmonica was pre-recorded. No, that was a real harmonica. All the instruments I used were real. So I learned to move quickly between the remote control and whatever instrument was being used in the moment. All while making stuff up! “Were the phone calls pre-recorded?” Again, cannot emphasize this enough: it was all made up on the spot, in the moment. I never knew what voice I would do until the moment Craig said, “I wonder who might call now…” 📞 While all of this is going on, I’m also using a second remote control to operate and voice Sandra the Rhino on occasion. Plus, I’m voicing all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, every member of the Shy Fellas band, and Secretariat’s inner voice. Whew! 💀 -JRT Learn all about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4fNeICsm8qJb9E

This is something that's just perfect, from beat to beat.

The best thing about this is it was literally the first time that Josh had ever voiced Geoff live. Before, it was all pre-recorded phrases.

I know its a been a while since Craig walked away from late night and since this video was first posted. But this always reminds me of one thing not enough of us are having - a great cleansing, tear-filled laugh that incapacitates us for just a few minutes. This whole country needs that right now.

[@the1realanalogman]

You are so correct! I haven't felt properly energized since the show ended. If it weren't for these clips I'd be a zombie.

No truer words have been spoken especially for 2018. Sad to say we might go into WWIII soon with such a failure as our president right now. Or at least that's where I see the U.S. is going.

[@novastarguild2892]

John Gault It is the president who chooses who goes into his/her office if they are failing it is the presidents responsibility to correct them. As citizens of the United States of America we are here to criticize their work as the President and his/her office. But we should also work hard for a brighter future. Also have a good laugh.

I cant stand jimmy fallon. Never liked him on SNL either. He seems to try too hard to be funny, which he's not.

[@jonahtv4974]

Sorry but Conan is I miss this show so much but he is the king no question but close and I have no idea how people enjoy most late night television these days it’s so unfunny and just trump this and the celebrity guests don’t make it entertaining the problem with modern American comedy is they think endless pop culture references and making fun of politics makes it funny I can’t find a entertaining show anymore

Hello Josh. I’m a boomer that grew up on Carson. Once you got “activated” to live segments, I thought you and Craig were the best thing since Johnny and was always amazed at how sharp-witted you were while simultaneously operating Geoff remotely. It had to take practice, eh? I particularly loved the ongoing gag with Kristen Bell and to this day use “Careful, Icarus” as a lighthearted verbal warning with my kids. Thank you for enriching my life! ~ John from Ohio 👍
