Especially funny since he talks (and writes) often about how he got his start in stand-up comedy by being drunk all the time. Big booze problem early on (almost committed suicide one hangover morning), but he managed to quit and hasn't touched a drop in decades.

[@zognarreg]

Keanu: "What's a Kiwano?" Craig: "It's a very enigmatic fruit, man!"

[@shawnheddin4833]

Completely walked into that one lol

[@Ipleadthebloodofjesus]

This is quick wit gold.

[@vs4571]

What was the motorcycle joke punchline that got censored? I don’t get why it got so many laughs?

[@LacklusterOfficial]

That Jeff Goldblum vs Craig Ferguson thing was tight!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Craig got along with 99% of his guests so easily. Goldblum is a nut like Craig. Two peas in a pod, or nuts in a shell. ;o)

[@20thCenturySir]

Nobody modern television host ever embraced the absurdity of life so honestly and hilariously as Craig Ferguson.

[@wren7195]

I'm a chronic illness patient, and sleep is a very distant memory. Craig Ferguson saved this wee lass' life, and I miss him tremendously. I'm really glad he's fought off his alcoholism, very thankful he was named Guardian of Scotland

[@TheMasheenist]

You are a gentleman and a scholar for continuing to produce these videos, thank you sir. I tip my hat to you, 🎩.

[@anthonymadril1210]

And he tipped his hat, like this.

[@hansomniac]

I suffer from bouts of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I always know I've hit rock bottom when I keep coming back to Craig Ferguson. At my worst, he is the only person who can still make me laugh. And since he too has been a depressed alcoholic once, my dependency on his work is even stronger.

[@geofthompson3844]

There's never been a better talkshow host than Craig. He's sadly missed 😭😭😭

[@andymaggie7137]

I feel so stupid for never watching this show when it was on. CF is the definition of charming

[@flagtheoffense]

The best one here was the "A-positive/Oh yes you are" one. Simple but sensational.

[@allisonchristian5678]

How is no one talking about the Geoff comment? “What have you done that’s gay?” “Come over here and I’ll show you”

[@Korkster100]

Really unappreciated line

"Everybody in Hollywood thinks your head is fantastic!" - Things I would never get away with saying but I'll probably say anyway.

[@verslalchimie5824]

I love how he makes the ladies laugh, and they don't just make a polite laugh. It's real and their eyes light up and you can tell they are having so. much. fun. I wanna be able to do that.

[@picklesthewise]

I miss this kind of show. Talk shows after this just became about sketches and gimmicks and they were designed to be predictable and safe. Craig was so anti-all of that. He was just about being funny and was rarely ever scripted - even if there was ever a script for something, he would throw it out anyway.

[@cjpatz]

Not to mention Trump meltdowns.

[@lilarodrigues2698]

I am a little bit worried because most of Graig jokes were sexual.

[@Manugon]

That Chris Pine joke was absolute gold.

[@smileybone3010]

The Hayley Atwell one is so funny, you can hear the staff cracking up right off camera

If you were faster than him, you've got about a nano second to jump in there before he unloads his wit. Good luck.

The only late-night talk show host I ever fully embraced. Genuine on so many levels.

[@joannaedwards6325]

The funniest ROBIN WILLIAMS interview is with this man! Just so quick and both fed the other. No one else ever came close to getting the most out of RW like CF!!

[@Vastad]

Oh I would say Billy Crystal was the next level beyond Craig. Look for videos with RW and BC together, it's magic and telephathy.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I really miss Craig Ferguson as a late night talk show host. He was the best. SO FUNNY!

[@christianaustin782]

5:34 that line from Geoff was maybe the hardest I've ever laughed a clip from this show, and that's saying something. GP and CF we're so good

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I loved the guests, especially the hot ladies, but most of all I loved it when Criag and Jeff got going. I never laughed so hard. Only talk show host I've ever missed when he was gone.

[@rooramblingon895]

Carrie Fisher. OMFG what a star! I miss the lady, I really do.

You're really keeping his legacy alive. One day he'll invite you to his mansion. Make a vlog of it, please.

I'm not familiar with US talk shows, but James Corden replaced this guy? The only compensation is that he's not here in the in the UK.

wouldn't it be promptly picking his promised pomegranate?

[@texknight67]

Jayleno Fly. I want to thank you for all you have done with this channel. I've worked nights most of my life so I never got to watch this show. After watching here you've shown me a man that couldn't have taken a more different path in life than I did, but I've come to respect and revere Craig very much. A man with rapier wit and is very intelligent. Thanks again.

[@TheJayLenoFly]

My pleasure my man! That is kind of poetic, I love that, and also, glad you enjoy em!

The tease of seeing Evangeline Lilly's thigh is what brought me here.

That's fair. Craig is funnier but Graham gets more info out of his guests. Alcohol maybe? ; )
