Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson 5/19/2011 Tony Shalhoub, Sloane Crosley

[@AntonioHernandez-oq1jv]

This is the moment when an incredible funny show became the best tv show ever

[@Architecturecation]

12:30 - 17:15

[@22Phantasm]

History was made with this show. 'I gotta place there... you should come over!' Ingeniously funny.

[@mytoob77]

I remember watching this episode that night and laughing for half an hour because Craig lost it on the tweet-mail segment. And it's been saved on my DVR ever since. Damn, I miss Craig's show. Thanks for posting!

[@TiagrajI]

Me too man. Me too

[@moss4424]

One of the single best moments in television history

[@classiclife7204]

Though Craig liked the robot idea of course, there was no guarantee JRT would actually be a live speaking sidekick. After a tentative, not always successful week of nightly interactions (including a bit making Geoff the "guest"), this segment put the question to rest, and the "tweetmail" segment became consistently the funniest thing on TV. Changed everything. Legend!

[@kyoakmusic]

I love rewatching this knowing this was what sealed the deal and made the live Geoff Peterson a permanent thing on the LLS ❤

[@charles_wipman]

This was the best talk show in the world AFAIK, and Craig Ferguson the best talk show host; no one else could have made it so well and entertaining.

[@benprewitt4600]

"It's like having Tony Shaloub back on..." I'M DYING! That was awesome!

[@henreebee6561]

Ouch!! I guess that’s why he never came back!

[@shefchenko111]

@@henreebee6561 He seems like a guy with a sense of humor. I don't think this is the reason.

[@henreebee6561]

Alexander Zhivkov - idk, did you watch the episode? It got pretty awkward between them,and then Craig cracked that joke... I love Tony, but I could see him not coming back if he didn’t vibe with Craig. His show didn’t get THAT much exposure, after all...

[@shefchenko111]

@@henreebee6561 You know this isn't the only time he's been on Craig, right? :D Also, on his show :D

[@henreebee6561]

Alexander Zhivkov - but this episode was Tony’s last appearance, even though Craig’s show was on for another 4 years. And previously he had been on every 1-2 years. Why do YOU think he never came back? 🤔

[@oriyonay8825]

I lost it at "I started screaming, then I turned on the iron" LMAO

[@g4p5l6]

So THIS is THAT episode. Priceless.

[@zakariafertahi9751]

I’m from Morocco. I was hanging out with geoff. And I believe that the golden days of late night TV s gone

[@nahuelma97]

Greatest tweets and emails ever

[@VixDiesel]

The email crack up always brings a smile to my face.

[@FloridaYalta]

Adorable Tony Shalhoub 😍

[@hopelessmetsfan3583]

Ohhhh this is THAT episode 😂❤️

[@OMGLYKEWOW]

Thanks so much for uploading these!

[@brownboy12691]

11:40 is where legends were made

[@NandiCollector]

*This episode was one of the Classics of these two Geniuses :D*

[@pikkdogs]

It’s important to also watch the show before this. Where Julie Andrew’s talks about having a place in the Alps and said she goes there at least once a year and they Craig should stop by some time.

[@paulocostadj]

After the historic Geoff / Craig "I got a place there" banther, the passive/agressive Tony Shaloub interview with an awesome ending. Now thats what I call good TV.

[@22Phantasm]

Two very extreme chats. Sloane is just a lovely guest.

[@funnylookingfoetus]

Not sure how they'd do now, but I would absolutely love to see Josh and Craig (and Secretariat) go at it again

[@jfaulsti10]

Oh yeah. That's it. More. Don't stop.

[@deathdefier247]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that Josh at 38:18 ? He is to the right of the woman clapping and his face is partially obscured. He's there for only a couple of seconds.

[@benprewitt4600]

I was thinking the same thing! It'd be perfect placement. I'm glad someone else noticed that!

[@fe5018]

Yeah, iirc that's where he used to be before he got his hole in the wall.

[@lauraking1439]

Craig had me ROLLING in this episode!!!

[@shefchenko111]

that "How dare you"... Oh, man :D :D

[@LumpyMusic]

I'm annoyed that you ask me about finances. Oh my wife went shopping in Morocco. She bought me this shirt.

[@Krystalmyth]

What a weirdo lol

[@andrewbrandmusic0894]

Sloane was such a breath of fresh air after that awkward "conversation" with Tony. I know some people see it disrespectful to ask about money but I'm sure Craig didn't mean anything by it. When Tony said what he did about not being back for a long time, I'm thinking, "Because obviously you're a bloody drag." 😂

[@jamilnadiq6966]

best shit ever. cbs should've kept craig.

[@allanthemanmccann1]

he quit. caus they wouldnt give him daves show when he was leaving.

[@jamilnadiq6966]

Allan Mccann maybe. but i believe the other theory on why he left...

[@ahkando]

@@allanthemanmccann1 no. he left cause 10 years was enough

[@allanthemanmccann1]

@@ahkando first off dont respond to years old comment you fool second. He left cause he was promised the late show from letterman but didnt get it. Look it up

[@ahkando]

@@allanthemanmccann1 first off, don't tell me what to do I will respond to whatever shit I want secondly, no. He left because he was tired of hearing his own voice after 10 years of doing the show every day. Literally watch every interview about it.

[@charles_wipman]

an amazing show; and Sloane Crosley it's like.. wow man, yeah...!.

[@armorhide406]

"Again, family programming." Ohhh MYYYY

[@MxMattyB]

The quality matching on Kim Jung Il's face to "his" body seems awfully good compared with the other shops they've done

[@hannibalsolo4409]

Never forget

[@RedYankee45]

At 38:08 someone says “that’s it” after Craig says it lol

[@OleFIFA]

Just me or does Tony Shalhoub seem annoyed?

[@jonathanm9069]

I think he thought Craig was embarassing him.

[@brownboy12691]

Craig’s fault

[@josephd9590]

@@brownboy12691 actually tony is just an uptight douche. When Tony tried to turn the tables, Craig did what tony should have done in the first place. Not make it personal and make a joke about it. I'm glad he never came back.

[@mariastephens1827]

@@josephd9590 That's really unfair; I don't think Tony takes insult-comedy very well, and he likely couldn't tell that Craig wasn't being serious, and his feelings were getting hurt. I think he's more reserved and gentle as opposed to a 'douche', and needs a bit more tlc in a interaction :/

[@AnnA-rk4vb]

@@mariastephens1827 That's right. If you watch his interview on another channel, Tony is more like a respectful guy. He probably expected to talk more about projects than about his personal life and finances, and the guy tells him to do Broadway, even though he had just finished one there. The beginning was okay, but Craig was steering the interview towards an aggressive one. If the interviewee doesn't want to talk about the money and properties he owns, you focus on another subject, you don't keep insisting with ironic jokes all the time.

[@alexp1017]

12:45 Greatest night in talk show history

[@18Harsha]

[@mrcookie97]

That guy is more wholesome in Monk than irl lol I wish I never saw the real guy

[@rudyredcat425]

He seems like a douchebag, especially compared to Monk

[@mariastephens1827]

@@rudyredcat425 From what I can tell I would disagree, he honestly just seems like he isn't completely at home with the environment he's in. He doesn't seem to enjoy being playfully insulted, he's probably a more sensitive type, and I don't think banter is really his thing; I believe he realizes as well that the show is more relaxed and so he wants to be able to fit into that vibe and just talk about stuff, but he doesn't bounce off Craig too successfully. I think he's a shier type who doesn't blossom well on a show such as this, he's more of a subtle comedy kind of guy

[@KyleCorwith]

@@mariastephens1827 Geez, it took a long time for you to say: he’s uptight!

[@belindajardim3145]

I really enjoyed Tony and Sloane😜

[@inancg]

I think Shaloub was sour because his tissue joke at the beginning flopped.

[@MichaelRodriguez-ib7kp]

I wasn't going to comment, but yeah - he definitely didn't let that go. If it were me, I would have taken an entire tissue box, not just some sheets *sigh*

[@henreebee6561]

Damn, he really burned Tony at 36:10! I guess that’s why he never came back on...

[@Gabriel-se9el]

the guy was dryer than a box of toilet roll. No humour and not smart at all - always went for the obvious answers. He Didnt deserve another showing

[@Arkaskas1]

To be honest he does very few interviews anyway.

[@KyleCorwith]

Man, never knew how uptight Tony Shalhoub was.

[@east5871]

The entire segment with Shalhoub was an awkward pause. It was disappointing.

[@luckylife5325]

Disappointing is a gentle word for this atmosphere 😔 .

[@michaelorozco9761]

ha ha his wife goes to Maraca shopping and then says "i'm not very rich"

[@miamotoworld]

cute that she didnt get the 1985 edinburgh tweet callback and craig just moved on

[@mariastephens1827]

the Tony slander in the chat is unacceptable, I will defend him at all costs

[@LumpyMusic]

Robin Williams and Geoff/Josh - Can anyone name ANY other male guest who didn't look uncomfortable on the show?

[@fe5018]

Larry King, Bradley Cooper(who was so in love with Ferguson it was shocking), James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich.... there are others, but offhand, these ^

[@henreebee6561]

There’s a lot, what are you talking about? Matthew McConahey, Robert Downey Jr, just off the top of my head. Tony just had a weird energy this episode. Usually Craig gets along fine with his guests, male or female.

[@fe5018]

@@henreebee6561 honestly the uncomfortable ones are the minority. Tim Allen and occasionally Kelsey Grammer could be uncomfortable too(although Grammer was gracious and good natured about it; Allen was a tool).

[@henreebee6561]

F E - yeah, that’s what I’m saying. This commenter seems to think Craig only gets along with women, which isn’t true!

[@asshatteryengaged813]

William Shatner, Ewan McGregor, Morgan Freeman were all great guests among many others
