For the answer to Craig's question at 6:22, see:

watch?v=KSG0A7JXEt4&feature=re­lated

[BlueDevilStrong1227]

@BoHoVsGolf I was obsessed with RDJ, then I watched them together about a year ago, and now I can't stop watching Craig!

[MrPaulywag]

I LOVE his airplane engine analogy.

[conradsz]

Letterman's got nothing on Craig.

[Luarrangel]

Craig's so handsome!!!

[cheetahprint100]

craig is the funniest man ive ever seen on tv .lol he makes me crack up every night.

[uwishuknewher1]

He's also pratically running Dave's show himself haha I see many of the mannerisms that he uses on his own show in his appearance here

[uwishuknewher1]

Craig is totally fidgety, you can tell that he really wants to get up and move around and do something silly =)

[keepXonXrockin]

somehow i really don't like david letterman.

[FilmFig]

I would to totally fuck Craig and not think twice, and Im 18. Amen.

[keir193]

@FilmFig i'm craig. little does the world know im an overweight 20 year old living in edmonton. just trust me.

[MissMercedes2]

I meant 7:58. He makes the engine noise. Spot on.

[MissMercedes2]

I almost broke my Internet by playing 4:58 so much. Love Craig! Love his humor, honesty, body language, accent, when his voice gets all high, deep scary laugh, etc...

[inrwizards]

y do so many ppl like chelsea lately? its just gay celebrity gossip with the occasional deadpan that gets ruined cause u know she's trying 2 hard 2 keep a straight face.

[lordofnightmares]

God Tier: Craig Ferguson, Conan O'brian

Good Tier: George Lopez

Poor Tier: Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman

Feces Tier: Jay Leno

[kssk79]

he's one of the most sexy men on earth, that's for sure

[cruzzo260]

4:21 ..was that real?? he did mention it in regis an kelly

[FandPrulethesky]

My favourite thing in the world to watch is chat-shows (though my friends think it’s kind of strange). I love them all. Kimmel's and Fallon's are good. I like Conan, but he seems disheartened these days. Let’s not even mention the worst host ever JL! But for me the Craig is King. Because not only is he funny as hell but he's a really good interviewer. He always treats the guests like old friends.

[pistachioguy]

With no orchestra, a robot for a sidekick, sloppy production, crappy theater, low-budget - and STILL Ferguson manages to kill, night after night after night on sheer talent - just a one man talk-show army. Reminds me of what Letterman was all about when he started off.

Imagine what Ferguson could do with a proper show!

[soulwrappin]

@pistachioguy he could end up like letterman...is what...shudder to think that. 

[javimiami92]

@pistachioguy thumb for you sir!

[MrNoexcuses]

Craig Ferguson saved my life with his humor and all around morality and good nature. Without him i don't know where i'd be but he has inspired me to live life to the fullest. I hope that man lives a long and happy life along with his family.

Craig i know you probably will never read this but Thank you.

My name is colby

[OkamiLuna]

The song fits brilliantly! I love this, great interview.

[whitytupac]

i dont see how ppl click dislike on these things

[Harky88]

@whitytupac they suck at aiming :P

[BoHoVsGolf]

you know who craig reminds me of... RDJ... i swear downey is like the american boy version of this man!!! watch a video with them together...

[randomloves47]

I love how Paul's band plays Beatle songs every so often. Its great.

[guy2008rules]

Craig deserves to be in the legend Johnny Carson's throne.

[ampdgmr]

Craig is the best.

[TheInvincibleViolet]

@royray217 I'm clueless then. What's going on?

[Rainridge]

No, i watch this show only because your a guest. otherwise i am waitng for you. :) Love ya Craig.

[TBB1210]

Jeff Peterson>Paul

[macrocefalo007]

@TBB1210 Geoff please

[TheInvincibleViolet]

It's Sept. 2010. What date as this show? In the beginning Craig says he is recovering from a vasectomy, Recently he states on his show that he and his wife are now expecting. Assuming this one must be an adoption ? Thanks for posting this vid. I LOVE Craig !! <3

[FroobRadio]

@TheInvincibleViolet It was a joke, I think :o

[TheInvincibleViolet]

@FroobRadio Hmmmmmmm... I don't think so. Is that the impression you got, from his body language, and his reaction after the joke? Im just saying, knowing the way Craig jokes, he will usually slap one on the back and say something like, "Just kidding, old boy, you know I'd never part with my precious "cargo"". Or something to that effect. What do you think?

[FroobRadio]

@TheInvincibleViolet He smiled right after, though.

I'm pretty sure it was a joke :o

[laulln]

@TheInvincibleViolet I think it's related to a joke before on the show. You would understand if you were seeing the episode live. 

[TheInvincibleViolet]

It's Sept. 2010. What date as this show? In the beginning Craig says he is recovering from a vasectomy, Recently he states on his show that he and his wife are expecting. Assuming this one must be an adoption ? Thanks for posting this vid. I LOVE Craig !! <3

[TheInvincibleViolet]

What date was this? Craig mentions recovering from a vasectomy. Recently (Sept. 2010) he is saying he and wife are expecting. Just wondering !! I <3 Craig !!

[asdertert12345]

What's the deal with everyone dissing Dave?? Dave is a late night Legend and any one of these wet behind the ears Late night hosts would be lucky if they reach a quarter of the status Dave has from putting out over 20 years of quality entertainment. Dave has nothing more to prove stop hatin sheesh. Now as for Craig I can honestly say he is one of the best. To do what he does unscripted i've never seen anything like it. What made him one of my favorites was the britney spears monologue

[dan11009]

i dont think craig will replace letterman, even if hes offered the show, i think he enjoys his show to much, he can get away with alot more and he knows his audience

[m1303j]

did letterman pronounce lattes as "laddes"?..

[draenias]

"eat a box of candy" - Letterman.. the fuck?! "Have you ever been to the international house of pancakes??" - Ferguson LOL!! haha

[hitch123456]

Letterman's not funny anymore, give his slot to Craig already

[Demithegoddess]

WOW. Is it just me or does that man look super sexy in a 3 piece suit? YUMMY!!

[bigboimlp]

I LOVE THE MORGAN FREEMAN ENGINE !!!!! HAHAHAH (oops caps lock)

[greenlanternintx]

Craig Ferguson is easily the funniest Late Night Show (well, there is Chelsea), but I think if they moved him to replace Dave, something would get lost

[hollywoodshopaholic]

craig is such a DILF ;)

[neonom1024]

patagonian flatbread!

[ZaimuaeALI]

Paul is annoying !!

[kedharf1]

Can anyone explain to me the st patricks day joke?

[ds12z]

craig ferguson? david letterman? never heard of em...

[PilotOfTheCaribean]

@ds12z ds12z ? never heard of you ...

[TheLemonfreezer]

no matter how many times I watch this I always laugh when he imitates the engine sounds

[jetdave100]

Man Letterman's really slowed down these days

[ampdgmr]

Craig is a genuinely nice person, he manages to be hilarious and entertaining without a script, Letterman is good at what he does, but Ferguson is the best, and will hopefully keep doing late night for many years to come.

[pomegranate89juice]

who ever I ask they say that Craig is the best late night show host, so he will be replacing Letterman or Fallon any day now

[sparrowcrazy]

What's the song played when he enters?

[dmackiech6]

@sparrowcrazy Revolution 1(beatles/white album)

[dmackiech6]

@sparrowcrazy - revolution

[sparrowcrazy]

@dmackiech6 Thanks, I knew I recognized it.^^

[jaundist]

craig cant drink alcohol!! so he cant have any embarrsing stories to tell!!

[JarodRussell]

Now that I see Craig directly compared to Letterman, Letterman is PRETTY ANNOYING in these interviews. Oh wow.

[MidKnightBlaze]

@JarodRussell, Craig, Leno and Conan (before being gone) got Letterman's number as a host.

[idigbatman]

I almost feel awkward when I see all of Craigys body since Im so used to only seeing from mid body up for the most part on his show...HA

[carmenjiamin]

When your boss praises you like crazy, how will you react? Craigy handled it beautifully - and hilariously! :)

[Jessica0709]

Please join my Facebook group "Give Craig Ferguson an Emmy for The Late Late Show!!" ;) You can also follow me on the twitter: @MsFredriksson

[donnadegeorge]

@Jessica0709 It will happen.  He's already won a Peabody award for the interview with Desmond Tutu on one of the Late Late Shows.

[gorucuff]

wow!!! i have watched the other interviews of craig by letterman. and looks like cbs found a worthy successor of letterman!!

[vonteese04]

does it seem funny to anyone else that david is asking craig "how do you do that?"

is he looking for job advice? lol.

[nklingler]

god, letterman is a freaking d bag

[crashingheartsc]

mmmmmmmmm craig ferguson

[ishiedanut]

i'm one of those people who watches the tail end of dave to get to Craig

[wryguy007]

love Ferguson's show....best late night host there is

[MelanieDIVA]

Oh Craig!!!! What a sexy man!!!!!!

[SirLuxalot]

What's with all the hatred for Dave? It's like John and Paul, can't we like them both? Craig's the king of late night but I love Letterman too. Ok so he's only funny half of the time but it doesn't cancel out the fact that he used to be the best.

[CreativeProfiteer98]

You can tell all the talk show hosts are confounded by Craig's ability.

He's talented and he's just himself. That's what makes him great.

[kingofthewoodPL]

Craig rules, I don't enjoy Letterman's shows at all

[WeynWild]

hahaha it's funny watching Craig being interviewed by his boss...soon it will be the other way around.

Craig > Dave =D

[zeeman321]

craig is the best .. he will be the king of talk show soon

the funniest ever

[InternetsEvilSpirit]

AGREED

[moonmatter]

He's just not funny

[ChimpsAndPie]

Ferguson's show is far better than any other. In my opinion.

He doesn't script anything, and the stuff he thinks of is brilliant!

[LetKnowledgeDrop]

This motherfucker is hilarious.

Craig FTW! =)

[synonynantonym]

"Top to bottom, it's just amazing." Yes, he is. :D

[TheJellybean180]

Craig is the Best.

[GEugeneM]

Craig is way better than Dave. Craig doesn't have to be mean spirited to be funny.

[theodorelaurence]

GEugeneM - people who say this obviously have no idea about Dave or the history of late night TV. Dave INVENTED the stuff Craig and Conan does, and he's a legend.

[badgeofsarcasm]

Dave is just an annoyance who makes his guests uncomfortable.

[GEugeneM]

When did Dave do ever his entire monologue with a puppet?

[jdchoi2]

I can't remember Dave ever being a guest on a talk show. He should do Craig.

[LuckyLuke199]

He used to do Johnny Carson way back when. But, yeah, he should.

[Marela9]

Craig is just brilliant!

[Radz117]

Ferguson seems far more witty than the likes of Letterman, Leno and Kimmel.

[CaptainZap9999]

@Radz117 Yes, definitely, he's awesome

[monox2k]

@Radz117

Letterman is still real sharp, but I think some of it has deteriorated with age. Check out his 90s interviews and you'll see.

I agree regarding Leno and Kimmel. Kimmel is decent, but he's nowhere near as funny as Craig and Conan are naturally. Like him or not, Conan is about as razor sharp as they come.

Jay Leno is just a greedy SoB, and his only good bit is Jay walking: which is funny in spite of him, not because of him. Put Jay walking on any show, and it would lose no value.

[MikeyKnox1]

@Radz117 Kimmel and ferguson are in the same boat for me, lopez is funny too.

[Themusicintheair]

one talk show host to another!

[1fresia1]

milk designed by nature to fatten cows.... haaaaaa

[tsacdaorbyourself]

I love that the band is playing The Beatles' "Revolution" as Craig enters. Craig is a riot.

[bwahahachick]

As much as I love Craig, I don't want him to take Letterman's place, because then he won't have as much freedom to be all raunchy. He might get the Conan syndrome.

[TheAlenka26]

Yeah I am sure and without a doubt that Craig is the funniest on tv. Well that's just my opinion.

[seniorspecialist86]

eyy Graig... my sweety :)))

But the other man is a bit boring.. very boring..eyy Lettieman

[monymar20251759]

I love this guy! I think Craig is one of the funniest people on t.v.

[DFT2000]

I cant wait till Ferguson replaces letterman its going to be epic.

[MidKnightBlaze]

@DFT2000 that would be so seriously awesome man. Right now, he's the funniest of all, and do love some Leno (conan's gone, liked his style to) but Craig can take the very unfunny and make it funny somehow.

[Preeemo]

@DFT2000 I don't think I can picture Craig taking over Dave's time. Craig has a really anti-talk show approach to his talk show. I mean, he tears up the pre-approved questions, he discourages his audience from applauding stupid things, and he generally just avoids plugging bullshit. He's great in his own time slot because he doesn't have to worry about being commercial and appealing to the masses.

[pistachioguy]

@Preeemo - "he tears up the pre-approved questions, he discourages his audience from applauding stupid things, and he generally just avoids plugging bullshit."

LOL! That's like Letterman's twin right there!

[uberathlete]

@Preeemo hehe yeah true. Plus all that sexual innuendo that is "acceptable" in his show (and which makes it so funny) might not be in Dave's time slot.

[TheHaggiseater49]

@DFT2000 no way!! If he replace him he won't be able to say whatever he wants or swear anymore!!... And that is beacause we love him :)

[SchalaKid]

Geez, this man is fabulous.

[Themusicintheair]

I toltaly agree!

[jfhburr123]

My two favorite talkshow hosts together, this is a great interview. I can only pray to god that when Dave decides to retire that he will hand over the show to Craig. There's no better choice, he's far funnier than Leno, O'Brien or Kimmel.

[julyjeter]

than goodness Craig doesn't have a band- its annoying, I much prefer him doing it himself

[MultipleScrotum]

Damn Craig is awesome!

[pumpkinzer0]

i remember this guy doing stand up in the UK years ago, hes done alright for himself eh?

[HappyAppleCider]

"Yeah, I bounced."

This was a lot funnier than it probably should have been. xD

[extenebrislux]

It's Lou Costello ;) an american comedian.

[virgozero]

wait wait wtf...

i thought craig owns the late late show?

and letterman is like the 2nd guy? or am i wrong?

or is letterman's the "late show" and craig's "late late show"?

seriously can they come up with better fucking names arg >.>

[jortet]

haha, dave is craig's boss more or less

[HappyAppleCider]

Letterman's show comes on, then Craig's show, which are both on CBS.

Letterman has the Late Show.

Craig has the Late Late Show.

[mattrolandjim]

Craig can't take Letterman's place, he shouldn't have the band, the money (for the show - not the wadges), the time-slot or the set. Why? Cos he's just TOO good were he is! It's cheap cheerfull and cos its on so late it feels kinda like theres just a select club who watch it. Also the show would have to become polished and slick and all american and politically correct with a propper format etc etc. Keep the late night anarchy rule!

[animegrl5]

i love the scottish conan guy!

dude craig u don't need a band or a sidekick!!

but maybe better music and money for graphics....

[jakec916]

craig ferguson kicks ass lol , craig ferguson, david letterman, conan obrien and jimmy fallon are all great late night talk shows in my opinion.

[Chakoo32]

Priceless humor from craig- he's just too awesome to be after dave. He should either swap around with the times OR (i emphasise) OR, Dave should stop 'cause he's done it a long time already and let Craig take over... Love craig forever.

[SLITHERMAN54]

he always funny never a dull moment

[RedRebaFan]

Craig Ferguson is better and funnier!!

[SaSlaya]

Craigs show is way better than Letterman's. They are not paying him enough! Look at the magic.

[jameswandii]

Craig effortlessly steals the show.

[waviedavie1967]

He is the Heir Apparent...

Just wait till he gets that band lol

[StrongHeartSoldier]

yeah he wants it so bad lol

[TehKazangsta]

@jameswandii exactly

[Stayintrue2JoBros]

i love craig ferguson!!!!!!!

[zjbbhj]

"It's a manly gel"It's probably homemade

[Stinkycheese00]

why is there a little blur square.

[veternariangrl]

Because that is where the CBS logo is and I don't think you're allowed to show it if you're not the CBS company itself. I guess the person posted could get sued I don't know, lol, hope I helped a little.

[vanished001]

Craig will take over for Dave someday, and to replace Craig ill put my money on Joel McHale from The Soup

[chadstur1991]

You ask Craig and he'll tell you he's Scottish before American.

[chadstur1991]

It's a Scottish accent, not British, stupid fucking Yank!

[DrCox82]

exelent reply!

[icevilly]

I can See CRAIg in Letterman's chair very very soon!!!!!!

[drewmc74]

Why can't Americans pronounce Craig's name properly? its Craig not CREG!!!!!!

[cjnovo15]

my names craig and it annoys me to so im with you :D

[pookppl]

i know some of us pronouce the I so its cr"A"g but ya its "creg"

[Monkeysniffer08]

because we don't speak with a British accent

[drewmc74]

Americans can quite easily say Craigs name properly, your accent has nothing to do with it, laziness and ignorance is the problem.

[smudgeVIW]

just like you call Glasgow. Glass-cow

[ONETRUEDUB]

that pisses me off SOOOO much

[soniclandy]

I <3 Craig. He is such a show stealer.

[Clovions]

Craig ferguson> david letterman. david has become quiet boring in these past years.

[cookiesncream789]

Craig is hilarious! As always!

[coolstuffhotdeals]

lol, these two guys are great, absolutely great. i love craig's accent and dave's laughing cackle is just priceless.

[LoveSenseDimension]

I know I love ppl from the Brtish Isles.

[momarpie]

I hope Craig never gets a band or a bigger show or any of this glittery stuff cuz it would take TOO MUCH away from his own charm.

Late Late Show kicks ASS.

[petlovergirll]

Absolutely perfect!!! What a cutie!

[zonkov88]

craig is better than letterman

[Scoob505]

Scottish, Irish, English, Welsh. I am American and i prefer people from these countries. stop being so ignorant

[anarchy3E]

thats cause your the offspring of some unhappy european idiot that moved to the "new world".

your nothing but a foreign european.

[Scoob505]

Both my parents are Irish and I live in Ireland now.

[zonkov88]

"thats cause your the offspring of some unhappy european idiot that moved to the "new world".

your nothing but a foreign european."

rofl

all americans are.... except for the indians, theyre the offspring of some ancient unhappy asiens

[beanie242]

And technically he is american now

[GordonFerguson]

Nice to see you have the extra security of misspelling "Scot" to guarantee that you look completely stupid.

[mapo12]

hahahaha....zing
