Craig Ferguson & His Audience, 2013 Edition, Vol. 1 Out Of 3

Thanks for your support and patience on this series!
Craig Ferguson investigates his audience in the cold open for entertainment purposes, and if they are lucky, they will get to eat at a fancy restaurant at CBS expense. Enjoy!

[@brianazmy3156]

I remember hearing my dad laughing from the other room like I've never heard before. When I walked in he was watching Craig. I miss them both.

[@JoTheBaer]

It's 2023 and I still watch the cold opens regularly. Craig is the undisputed master of comedy.

[@andreaslindblom9140]

May I say that I too are a regular visitor of The Jayleno Fly´s uploads!! 🤪Cheer!! 😁...and for the love of ALL the gods keep laughing!!

[@cmicerzz]

An appreciation comment to how the dates in the beginning of each segment have the same colors as the guests shirt colors

[@OneofInfinity.]

Even in current times, Craig still manages to crack me up on re-watch. Edit: and Geoff, what a duo.

[@herbertwest9626]

Just the way the girl from Serbia says "oh, yeah" when Craig asks her about cheese in Serbia makes your toes tickle. And other parts as well.

[@andreewert6576]

I've watched most of the videos about artists and actors i know. But after this one i'm even MORE certain that there's never been a greater late night host than craig. Doing some funny lines with people from the red carpet is easy most of the time. Making the audience burst out in laughter over some timid shy guests who have nothing interesting to say because they simply haven't had exiting experiences yet (or lately), that is HARD. All on the fly, from one sentence to another, pure improv. Guy's a genius entertainer.

[@plumafina]

He is amazing. Truly a compassionate genius

[@erikhayes1]

Anyone else, after watching this, feel the need to go to Serbia? LOL

[@Wombat32]

"Do they have pot in Phoenix, Matt?" Matt: not any more

[@barryshaw4400]

thats the best unsung birthday song ever

[@davidmatthews3131]

Wasn't it! I guess it's because he's a drummer and can feel a rhythm.

[@meagain2222]

The way she says "Oh ya" had me hooked.

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

Agreed BILLY was absolutely great !!-- sadly slower now due to health.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Absolutely!!

[@LovSven2011]

Came here for the *Danijela* from *Serbia* (TIME 36:10 - 40:20 ) and stayed to the end of the video. I must say she is giving Craig a taste of his own medicine. First impressioon: witty and charming. Thanks, Jayleno Fly. UPDATE: *Danijela Štajnfeld* , *serbian award-winning actress* , born 1984. A serbian of jewish-rusyn descent. (Thx, Funky Doolitle for the info in the comment)

This is true.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

With a big voice

[@LB_die_Kaapie]

Serbians tend to be but I've seen hotter from there.

[@cindykaywebster4643]

I love the way he stalked around his audience guests!

[@rachaeleigh]

The four sisters were so much fun. As someone who is from Minnesota, if he didn't be careful they would have kidnapped him.🤣🤣🤣

[@ravenstalons154]

Being from Minnesota, originally, I can absolutely agree with the last part of this statement!!

[@cplgranny7584]

Its funny to see how the older the audience members the less anxiety they have. Some of the audience members are incredibly awkward but Craig does a good job and keeping the ball rolling.

[@CoreyPL]

Yeah, the older you get, the less fucks you give :)

[@jarst50]

1. The "What goes on in Flint?" "Murders" line killed me. 2. I cracked up just remembering Craig and Geoff doing the "Stoofvlees" - "It's a stew" bit

[@coasterdude407]

This is awesome thank you for posting these cold opens. They are the best! Ever since Craig left there is NOTHING like this show. I don't watch Fallon, Kimmel, or anyone else. Craig left a large hole in late night.

[@aunch3]

Craig was the last genuine late night host

[@katiePetsy]

38:40 Geoff's "unbelievable" cracked me right up 😂

[@Elitist20]

'Quote the Ravens, "Never scored!"'

[@giraffesinc.2193]

He is absolutely lovely with his guests! I hope he comes back on the air sometime soon.

[@Drewski2112]

Watching Craig over the years, I think the restaurants Craig's and SUR were inputted in my memory because I've been to both numerous times while in West Hollywood. SUR was surprisingly good but just recently closed down for good.

[@royskuderin2386]

I've said this on other episodes, but I just can't help it. I watch these segments often and they get funnier every time I do.

[@unloveableandre]

[@patton303]

Letterman and Ferguson were the only late night shows I ever really watched. And now it’s KZbin videos of old Letterman and Ferguson shows.

[@jacksonmyers3187]

Yeah, sometimes they sneak actresses in on you (like Beth / Dana De Lorenzo) and sometimes aspiring actresses kinda insinuated themselves onto the show (like Alex). Wonder which was the case here?

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I wonder how he picked people to come up. Craig's show was the most unusual and fun talk show ever

[@genore1993]

Craig is the best. I wish he had his own show again or even podcast. There is no one like him. truley 1 of a kind.

I miss Craig. He was the breath of fresh air during toxic times. It's good of Jayleno Fly to keep the dream alive. I don't recall any of these bits. I wonder if they were audience warm-ups or something? They are quite hilarious. It's quite a treat to see such genuine smiles when Craig stalks on the stage.
