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

[@AK-ez4pc]

Thanks for the laughs...

[@shylock97]

Josh, you and Craig were improv comedy gold! My word, man, the chemistry, the wit, the rapid-fire responses, so underappreciated by the masses who don't matter and adored by those of us who understand that you made Geoff the penultimate expression of Craig's quest to deconstruct the dead art form of the late night talk show. You have such a gift, expressed so well which continues to bring so many laughs and smiles. Thank you.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

They did more movements progressively over the years so hopefully you had a chance to get used to the controls before they would add more.

[@lostsoul2184]

You're literally the best . May Geoff live on

[@perithepittie155]

[@algernonftw42]

This was one of the best 5 minutes of back-and-forth in late night show history, I swear. The timing, the callbacks, the unexpected elements... Just the chemistry that made this work... which is so great because Craig is essentially talking to a piece of plastic and metal that's killing him with laughter. I watched this clip dozens of times in years past, glad I found it again. Huge respect for your talent and wit, Josh, from a fellow Clevelander!

[@tinkerheck3284]

Fellow Clevelander here as well! I have watched this video on KZbin more than any other, and it never fails to make me laugh. My favorite part is at 3:03 when Geoff barely gets out, “we throw beads we go swimming“ the second time, and Craig loses it - he’s all the way over to the left laying on his desk laughing uncontrollably and trying not to. The whole thing reminds me of study hall in high school, And how we were constantly trying to not be heard when we were laughing so hard.

[@classiclife7204]

This is something that's just perfect, from beat to beat. It was a risk - Craig doubtless wanted someone to bounce off of, but finding a comedian who can bounce that naturally is rare, and finding someone like Mr. Thompson who can ad-lib and match Craig's humor perfectly must've been like finding a big diamond in a Safeway parking lot. This show was the funniest thing on TV for about 4 or 5 years.

[@thejrtshow]

🙏🏼

[@mightymartianca]

I don't know why, but every time Craig would ask Geoff to do something like pick up a piece of paper or read an email, Geoff/Josh's response "How dare you" would get me every time. They had amazing chemistry, and I really consider Craig and Geoff to be one of the great comedy duos. Oh alright, Secretariat was pretty cool too.

The fact that Geoff arrived on the late late show truly made it 10 times better, when Craig was kind of burning out and you, Mr Thompson, definitely helped him out, making him laugh and bringing more fun. Your touch is unique, when I am watching this bit, I can tell improvising and laughing while having control over one's voice is no piece of cake. And I was so upset when Russel Brand poured water on Geoff, I mean, man this robot is a peace of art in itself, have some respect

My daughter & I watched this when it originally aired. Everyone was laughing so hard that we were all crying - Me, my daughter, Craig, Geoff, the audience, & there's no way the rest of the production crew weren't laughing their asses off at this, esp. being in the same room w/ this joyful madness! I even burned this clip to a comedy cd I made.

"Balls."

[@richardgrier8968]

@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 ok, so, here’s my question: Where in the US is the expression “balls” used? I always thought it was just a Bobby from Supernatural thing. Sorry to saddle you with this but if you have an moment and know the answer I’d appreciate it. Cheers

Cheers me up every time I watch this. I wish we could have this show back.

I've literally never seen this show before until I watched part of this clip yesterday. Amazing. Way to bring the bit around with the ending harmonica

[@RipperCyclotron]

I love the bemused look on Craig's face after Geoff screams the harmonica.

[@lkcullen1918]

Just this sentence alone is glorious.

That harmonica absolutely slays me every time. Great timing, Josh. Just masterful.

I was just having a rough night, and this cheered me up as it suddenly appeared in my recommended. Thank you.

This banter between you two was a highlight, core memory, shared between my dad and I. One of my favorites memories of when I was younger was watching this show with my dad. ❤

I watch this clip every time a day goes to hell or when my BPD kicks into overdrive. So I've seen it more than a few times. That said: honest joy, when found, is one of humanity's greatest gifts. This clip is a grand representation of that fact. JRT, wherever you are, mate, I hope you're well. Craig, also. It must be nice to know your career already entails a legacy that both heals and helps in its own fabulously ironic way.

Watching this ‘live’ on tv had a special magic to it. Omg, Geoff Peterson, killer late night sidekick. This was so good I could hardly breath with the two of them cracking up. I GOT DIABETUS, and that whole Wilfred Brimley impromptu was also legendary! So glad we have clips of these. This show is and was the best late night show to this day.

[@DSR115]

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.

[@novastarguild2892]

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.
