Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson: Jerry, Miriam, and Regis [1-23-14]

Things get dark during the tweetmails when Craig gets a call from Jerry in Room Service and ends up talking to Miriam and Regis.
Worldwide Pants and CBS are the bosses, I'm just the messenger.

Craig and Josh Robert Thompson had so much fun the last couple years of this show lol

[@jimbellomo]

That robot killed this show. Damn him.

[@zkrhmn]

@@jimbellomo if not for that robot he woulda left like 4 years before he did lol

[@jimbellomo]

@@zkrhmn True but he would have left at the top of his game and not the bottom. Saw the show live four times. Two with robot, two without. Guess which ones were better. He engaged with the audience when there was no robot and no horse. He engaged with his guests. Can you imagine the Desmond Tutu show with the stupid robot. No Peabody Award for Craig.

[@allcapsROB]

His name……is Geoff.

[@latheofheaven]

@@zkrhmn I absolutely agree with you mate! He had to carry that whole show for over 5 years. I think he was quite grateful to have Geoff and Secretariat to play off of, and YES, I agree that it probably helped him to stay those last few years. The ONLY thing I would have said is that instead of ending the show and 'Going on to Greater Things', which didn't happen and probably COULDN'T happen, I think he could have easily negotiated a guest host, maybe a week off every few months, so that he could recharge and still keep this magical combination going! I honestly think THAT would have been the smart thing to do 😊

[@ImpossibleIsNothin]

"Say, my husband and I were wondering - how long do you think you can milk this sh*t!?" I LOVE how free these two were to even call out when their own bits were tanking. It's like bulletproofing to dry-moments.

[@deniseputnam5947]

It's January 2024 and this NEVER get old! They are a hilarious team and they show still be on the air in fact, during Jimmy Falcon's time slot would be perfect!

[@t3hr00tb33r]

Craig not giving a single shit was what made the show so great.

[@solepropt]

It was a very big mistake on the part of CBS, to let Craig and the gang get away from the network. His was the best show, late night or otherwise, to air on American television. Ever. Please come back Craig. America needs you.

[@latheofheaven]

Just to repeat what I posted above... I think that instead of ending the show and 'Going on to Greater Things', which didn't happen and probably COULDN'T happen, I think he could have easily negotiated a guest host, maybe a week off every few months, so that he could recharge and still keep this magical combination going! I honestly think THAT would have been the smart thing to do 😊

[@takerdust]

@@latheofheaven Craig said that the network didn't care for David Letterman, his company, or anything associated with it, including Late Late Show. Craig said after almost a decade, he didn't have much influence with the higher ups in CBS.

[@latheofheaven]

@@takerdustWow, that sounds pretty damn sad... Well, if true, those CBS guys were boneheads with the huge success of Letterman and all the money he clearly was bringing in.

[@greglinsmythe3375]

@@latheofheaven Dave was in constant second place behind Leno in viewership. CBS’ late night roster was bringing in less than NBC’s.

[@latheofheaven]

@@greglinsmythe3375 That may be my friend, but that 'Second Place' was still making them serious money.

[@philipsalama8083]

This is even funnier on a rewatch, seeing Craig look off to the side and knowing that the timer is ticking down to zero as he bullshits.

[@jamirimaj6880]

You know you created a great show when it gets even better and funnier as time flies

[@annamolina3940]

"You´ve been around a cockatoo…." Genius!!!!!

[@benprewitt4600]

"I will f*** you up, Miriam!" I'm DYING

[@MrDodgerdodson]

The slow head turn from Geoff Peterson was perfect during the quiet moment.

[@kiernanmooney6210]

You know the material is gold when the sidekick has to ask the host how long the segment is more than once.

[@messageprocyber_techsonins5138]

I wish they kept going for other 10 years.

Christopher Alan The show is a whole or that specific joke? I would agree to both.

[@bighuge1060]

It had to have been a blast being a part of this show. Or as the Bond villain's gay owl would say, "I'd rather have a cockatoo". Thank you, thank you... In all seriousness, this defined what post-Carson late night television should be.

[@CraigLumpyLemke]

I enjoy your referencial concept "Post-Carson late night television". Because, as Mr Letterman declared, there was Carson, and there was the rest.

[@latheofheaven]

@@CraigLumpyLemke Yep! 👍

[@kiptorres9210]

BY FAR the best late show.. I miss laughing my ass off at night

[@potterpotty01]

at the start of this video, he said we are trying to take this show more seriously tonight. well that didn't last long!

[@junkerinc.8992]

[@BottomBunkArt]

Craig Ferguson is the only legitimately funny man to host a late night show

[@JonBlondell]

If there had been a seperate camera feed on Michael, we would have enjoyed that as much as the actual show!!

[@EndlessSummer888]

1:29 I used to always think "you always wear black dress socks with a suit." Now I always think "you always wear black dress socks with a suit, unless you're Craig Ferguson."

[@samisparkar]

I can't believe this used to be on CBS of all places

[@TheRevolvingTraveler]

CBS CARES & I'm still here will always be my favorite one liners from Craig.

[@aseemsharma1427]

i know craig may not return to talk show hosting but one of those late night hosts need to get hold of Geoff.

[@jpcompton]

You can't just drop Geoff into any environment and have him thrive, but we are definitely poorer without this pairing.

[@Incorrigible010]

That might be a challenge, since Craig himself owns the robot. But another talk show having JRT as a sidekick? That's doable. ^.^

[@CraigLumpyLemke]

It never works. Anyone who liked XX version of "The Tonight Show with _____", didn't like the subsequent variants. Example, "The Man Show" original and new version.

what the hell is wrong with the subtitles speeding by about 5 minutes ahead of the actual video? Plus the missing text every so often, at least try and make an attempt to post a decent video, otherwise don't write text and leave the original video alone. Deaf people couldn't read it that fast anyway, you're only pissing them off.

[@jpcompton]

This upload is directly from the original 2014 CBS broadcast. Any mistakes in the closed captioning is attributable either to the original broadcast, the DVR's recording of that broadcast, or unintentional corruption after KZbin processing. No malice was practiced or intended.
