C-SPAN - "Craig Ferguson", 4.26 (2008) (1 of 3)

[Lardawan]

Who's that at the door?!!!

[pupucower]

Craig is funny.

[moviebuzzrocks]

I think Ricky Gervais should be the next person to host this

[violinistslythie7]

and the more unsung hero, the camera guy that films the c-span camera guy!

[riegelnate]

Yeah....tough crowd is right!!!! Way to go Craig....I was sweating for you. And your funny and liked. These people are nothing but self-righteous assholes. So strange. I mean REALLY weird. Ugh....very odd. I don't think Bush should have been president, but I've always like his personality.  I must admit it. At least he appreciates Craig.

[sexpistolarchive]

check out Craig on Red Dwarf from 1988, the great Scottish success story

[badbubbagump]

Craig Ferguson stealing Frankie Boyle jokes....say it ain't so?

(religious war to Glasgow, don't even have a soccer team)

[ullapoolposse]

@badbubbagump Why this comment has been hidden is beyond me...Craig Ferguson DID steal Frankie Boyle's jokes.

[angel102ify]

@ullapoolposse Maybe because after centuries of comedy, here is almost no original material anymore, What great comedy boils down to is how you say it, i can name 10 comedians that have said the same joke but all tell it in a differant way.

[TheDybbob89]

"well I would say that puts to bed the liberal media bias..." lol that was genius

[Carjackforeverxx]

The C-Span camera guy! *w00t!*

[Mickster6d6]

Craig's great!

[jaisaqui]

Liberal media bias myth!

[ficklefiend]

Dude. He totally stole that glasgow bombing joke from frankie boyle...

[PianoWizzy]

@ficklefiend @badbubbagump Don't you think it's possible that both of these two brilliant Scottish comedians thought of that joke when it happened? Besides, what would be the issue? Comedians steal jokes from each other all the time. It's not that much to worry over.

[KeriTheGreat08]

lmao! "let us moisturize and text eachother!"

[CFMPmadSfX]

It kinda stuck it to the Man. Sayin that he had to take a quiz and how many ppl in the room would actually pass it...

[anujissexy]

anyone here like rage against the machine!?!?!

I miss you! m8

[kiscky]

is he actually a democrat?

[ppprecious2001]

I think he did a bangin job, the cameraman kept showing people that weren't laughing at jokes that were clearly funny -- which made it funnier. I loved it, especially his partyin american dance -- lol love the beat and how weird he looks.

Love CRAIGY~!

[Chantzehao]

"Some of you have no idea who I am"

*C-Span puts up name*

[GLeNss]

look at the salty bitch 7:58

[umumum1]

look at the dude across from her bahahaha what a face!

[soulmman]

Those belgians with their delicious chocolate and waffles!

[pratt123]

Not as good as Stephen Colbert's performance but still good.

[usama1119]

yea they really need to loosen up, hes pretty funny

[Whitherthen]

Ahahaha! Oh, man. That room is *frosty*.

[strawberrychild01]

The audience should loosen up a little bit. Craig's hilarious, I would be falling off my seat with laughter.

[hXbradshaw]

Its to bad all this hilarity is wasted on all those crusty humorless people. Although it doesnt surprise me that Bush is laughing like a six year old. He may be stupid as shit but at least he has a sense of humor I guess.

[monst3rul3s]

Very tough crowd.

[paiwanhan]

wow, that is a tough crowd... no wonder our country is doing so poorly... it's being ruled by this kind of people.

[coombeh]

haha the guy at 8:43 couldnt be less impressed!

[vegasguy21]

LMFAO

[orangeblueandlavenda]

pop quiz! ha ha ha.

[AnneCarlijn22]

The beautiful infadel is right, Let us moisturize and text eachother! Brilliant!

[BlankPages0018]

geez, some people are just like (-_-)

those people are just depressed or something...

[jasminehks]

I believe they have some deep depression..lol

Craig Fergusson is one of the funniest comedians ever

[mdadnan]

Craig for Late Night!!

[roosterrocks]

he should be president fuck hilary

[SnowBlind853]

agreed, but hilary isn't going to win. McCain is. So fuck McCain.

[roosterrocks]

i love mcCain so fuck you

[SnowBlind853]

Why? do you like bush? Cause mccain is exactly the same as bush. Plus he's a Manchurian candidate. If you don't know what that means, google it.

[roosterrocks]

i love bush im republican if you haven't figured that out yet

[SnowBlind853]

I'm a republican and I don't like McCain. But then again, I don't like government at all.

[roosterrocks]

well do you like bush i mean he's better than any of the candidates

[SnowBlind853]

No, I'm a republican voting for Ron Paul.

[GSRbutterfly91]

shutup jason7737. craig rocks

[jason7377]

I know I watch his show all the time, im not saying he sucks man

[1point618mph]

just because you cant hear them because of the audio doesnt mean they arnt laughing. its like when stephen colbert was there, he said something along the lines of -people were laughing but they were way out in the crowd.

perhaps of course the ones in the front aren't but the place is HUGH there are thousands of people there but because a lot are far away ... so dont think just because you cant here them, that no ones laughing

[macindrew]

yep! it's really not a "tough crowd", but a stage / audience not designed for TV projection. If you slowmo through the crowd you'll see plenty of laughs and smiles. Craig did just fine.

[killcheese]

Craig for President!!!

[johnmiller9975]

Craig is the greatest!

[Smittyboy318]

those people who arent laughing suck.

[gman2152]

This guy is honestly so annoying. He gives Scotts a bad name, from what I have known about them. How the hell did he become a talk show host? Who allowed this? He says the same shit, every night, and the most idiotic shit every night. Replace him with a native- American, on the talk show hosting, please. Take Conan's old sidekick Andy, as far as I am concrened.

[abliton]

i didn't know andy was a native american

[GSRbutterfly91]

craig rocks.. get a sense of humor.. conan sucks.. and so does his sidekick

[umumum1]

craig has been in america for a long time now. he sincerely likes it here, but he still loves scotland. he doesn't give scots a bad name. he's like every other scot i know: playful, naughty, and normally drunk as fuck haha. Craig actually used to have his on show on the BBC. he's kind of one of those guys that you have to actually know a little bit to understand. don't bash on him. he's awesome.

[SnowBlind853]

But Craig stopped drinking years ago...

[umumum1]

hence the word i used: normally. i was talking about him and other scots in general. he doesn't drink ANYMORE but everything else still applies.

[4iz]

@umumum1 he is awesome - he is a warmly intelligent, self-depreciating, open-minded and downright hilarious man and he often mentions on his show he has been sober for quite a few years now. He is one of those great reality checks to look to when life gets me down: not to take myself too seriously and no matter how bad things get there is always hope for tomorrow :)

[ANormalGuy]

@umumum1 He gave up drinking long ago though

[umumum1]

@ANormalGuy i know. he'd drink if he could though.

[ANormalGuy]

@umumum1 I doubt that, he gave up with a very strong reason and believe and I dont think he would ever willingly drink again

[umumum1]

@ANormalGuy no no. craig is not against drinking for anyone except himself. he would if he knew it wouldn't start a chain reaction of his addiction again. i mean, if it wasn't the very thing that had given him the most trouble, he would probably still do it. he's expressed this a few times and said that if he could drink normally he would, but he knows he can't. that's what i meant.

[puddlemini]

I was so estatic for him! ^_^

He really did amazing even if the crowd (grr) didn't appriciate him :P

[macindrew]

yeah, but if you actually slowmo through the crowd pans 90% are laughing quite hard, and even a few of the depressed types seem to be cracking a smile.

[macindrew]

Why is Ann dressed like a Pilgrim?

[IsOfTheUniverse]

He looks exhausted.

[hertblue]

They were hard on him but he had them by the end. And anyway, are they really a hard crowd when these are the very same people who have been so timid in confronting Bush et al these last few years? ;-)

[Robin360]

I agree. What a stick-up-the-ass crowd! My god, poor Craig. I think he is the best and legit late show host there right now. He does his thing how he wants to. Tough politcian crowd, they need to stop being so "panties-up-the-ass! LOL

[jason7377]

he wasn't that great

I hate it when they use bashing countries as comedy.

[macindrew]

don't they teach "humor" in Canada? guess not!

[Robin360]

I don't think I said anything about bashing countries.

He's a great comdeian and it takes a bit of insight to actually understand Craig's jokes, he doesn't just say what people wants him to say. He's my favorite comedian and knows his stuff.

[cloverhead42]

really tough crowd.lol at 8.39 the guy in the glasses looks really bored

[2ndPistonHonda]

damn that's a hard crowd

[haaleyy]

He was utterly perfect - not very controversial, yet not boring :D Go Craig!

[MargeTheLarge]

Wow, if someone didn't know his comedy (and loved it as much as I do), may think that he insults a lot of countries;]

[n00blyf]

So many depressed people in that audience!

[jockmock2]

lol Glasgow is like Braveheart set in Detroit in the 70s. He was hilarious!

[valerio5050]

i luv craig

[malicea4thought]

I make up stuff just like Fox News! LOL!

[OmarterHi]

tough crowd !!! although he was funny !

[allydee259]

I agree, really tough crowd, I don't know why they keep showing the ones who didn't get his jokes.. Maybe they couldn't understand his accent :P But he was really funny!

[Rayzor369]

Those people who did not laugh were afraid for their jobs.

[jasminehks]

it must be that...cuz they speak english...lol

[sniurkst]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[dd5540]

craig is the man, no denying

[hb013]

looooove craig!
