  • Craig is the best!

  • damn man, craig is a really good late late interviewer

  • What the... 520k people decided "eff part 2"...

  • my two fav guys right here =}

  • Finally a House era Laurie interview that's tolerable to watch. Ferguson is great and this interview is hilarious.

  • The British know how to have a good bit of banter together!

  • lol, that was great, I've never heard of this show host before, definitely gonna check him out.

  • @aaron9099 The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is awesome !! I used to stay up all the time to watch it !! Definately tune in !!

  • @aaron9099 oh, definitely do! he's great. =)

  • his face when craig mentioned his daughter dating♥

  • hughs daughter will become the 35 year old virgin.

  • "It slid down the road and it got away from me and..." "What about the bike?" ROFL!

  • "She is allowed to start dating on her 35th birthday.."

    God Hugh, I love you <3

  • Oh for heaven's sake people. Stop arguing over which accent is which and just enjoy the damn video and Hugh's awesomeness.

  • well atleast end on a kind of downer (lol) that from this interview had HUGH genuinly smiling & the YOKO ONO joke in the other had him GENUINLY laughing. I never knew these guys knew each other or nothing & then I seen CRAIG, FRY, LAURIE performing at something in 1991 on a youtube video

  • ........Its not hard, im Scottish, i have a Scottish accent. Hugh Laurie has an English accent (please note there is like 1000 accents in England almost one for every county). British accent? Im British, but im Scottish first, so i dont know what is classed as a british accent usually its peple with a posh accent.

  • "She's allowed to start dating on her...35th birthday." Haha, such a good dad! <3

  • Aww, I wish he'd started the awkward pause at this point, Hugh Laurie and Craig Ferguson with an awkward pause would've been hilarious.

  • They are old aquaintences. Craig was married to a women that performed with Laurie and Fri and that crowd back in the UK. 20 years ago

  • awe the look on his face when ferguson mentioned hugh's daught dating <3

  • It's a little weird that they just pretty much repeat an interview they did a couple of years earlier.

  • They seem like old friends.

  • @importantverbs  They are

  • HAHA, great

  • Having watched and enjoyed both parts of this, I have two observations, both reaffirmations of things I already knew:

    1.) Hugh Laurie may be the most intelligent actor alive today;

    2.) I've only fairly recently discovered him on YouTube, as I don't stay up to watch his show on TV, but Ferguson is, in my opinion, Carson's Heir.

  • @Travis111000, The Scots are also British, i am a Scot and have a British passport, all Scots have British passports...get your facts right before blurting them out on the internet. Hughs accent is English, southern English, maybe it's time to getout and see the world. I have been to the US 4 times from East to West coast and know that not all Americans have the same accent...i would have thought you would too!

  • I don't get it. Do they like each other or not?

  • I enjoyed this interview. They are funny guys having a fun time together and shooting the proverbial. It's the first time I've seen the interviewer. He looks that the kind of guy you'd love to go to the pub with.

    I've just read someone's comment that they don't speak about House. Clever interviewer. Talking about House would have been far less interesting.

  • @nitramgnal Yeah, he is an anonymous alcoholic. A lotta people had that idea ;)

  • Wow, I'm the same age as his daughter! (Yet I'm still in love with him.) Gosh, he's as strict as my Dad XD

  • i love how they never talked about HOUSE or any of Hugh's projects. It was still an awesome interview though lol <3

  • Hilarious dance, this. Great minds in synch in improv is a beautiful thing to behold. Thanks for posting!

  • The South East and Glasgow accent need to come back...this is classic

  • Love you Hugh! <3

  • 9 people missed the Like button.

  • "We didn't marry after all... AND we didn't marry either!" I can't stop laughing!!!! :DDD

  • "Bad" thing in Craig's Late late show?:) I LOL,so I can't hear the next 1 minute,so I have to rewind,but I always manage to put it back to that part,I laugh again......:)

    Just noticed 2 things: 1.: They're pretty much the last ones who can make good vomity jokes (that are still funny for a grown up,too),2.: They get along so well you don't have the feeling that the showman is only doing it for the money,otherwise he's not interested.. (some OTHERS do that) Good to see that they're like friends.

  • @gatitamala1986 They aren't just "like" friends. They go way back. Craig, Hugh, Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis, Ben Elton -- all were in a comedy troupe together in school, if I remember right.

  • @Keeper1st Craig didn't graduate high school, let alone attend college. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Robbie Coltrane, and Emma Thompson were all in the "Footlights" at Cambridge. Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson were at Oxford together. Ben Elton hooked up with Curtis and Atkinson during the Blackadder days.

  • @ckalinwi Hmm, I thought I remembered Rowan saying in a documentary that he'd hooked up with Craig, Hugh & co. around his early school comedy days. Ah well. I'm getting old! The memory is the second thing to go! (I don't remember what the first was.) Nevertheless, it is still true that Craig and Hugh go way back. There's at least one sketch of them performing together on YouTube -- from about 20 years ago.

  • When was this taped? Thanks for the upload!

  • One of the BEST flowing, natural tv interviews I've ever seen. Craig is such a joy to watch. So much better than Letterman from what I've seen on youtube.

  • @crazypianolady does everything have to be about rivalry o___o

  • @Recordscience It's only human nature to compare! And if Letterman gets a better slot on tv (I don't actually know cos I'm English) then I suppose rivalry does matter.

  • @crazypianolady

    Have a look at the Late Late Show with Emma Thompson. Craig is pretty decent at meshing with people

  • @crazypianolady

    yeah, but the chemistry between those guys is perfect...don't know if Letterman has any chemistry anymore ;)

  • I love Craig's interviews!

    He is the best ever!

    Ewan McGregor, Gerard Butler and Russell Crowe's ones are the best! Now I am dying to see Colin Farrell being interviewed by Craig!

  • awesome

  • the two of them are just, just, just great! :)

  • "She's allowed to start dating on her 35th birthday."

    "It's for her own good." hahahahahaha

  • First decent host that I've ever seen!

    GENUINELY talented, quick, funny and a fine conversationalist!

    Hugh is MULTI-talented and watch Black Adder in its various Series to see how versatile he is!

  • That SHOULD have said "First decent AMERICAN TV HOST"...lol

    A genuinely flowing interview from the first clip to this final one..

  • Enough of your retarded argument.

    Hugh Laurie and Craig Ferguson are awesome together. :D

  • My God. All of the guests are so much more relaxed and so much more excitable with Craig Ferguson. Almost everyone on David Letterman is gloomy and it doesn't prove to be a good experience, seems too forced and rigid compared to the Late Late Show.

  • Haha he practically started to hyperventilate when Craig said his daughter was going to start dating.

  • they have great chemistry its hilarious to watch

  • i wonder what they talk about when they pan out to commercial coz talk shows are always like that :p

  • Omg his face at 1:37 is price less rofl

  • 1:51

    Oh, jesus. Don't say that. That's what *my* Dad used to say to me. *squirms* X)

  • Please join my Facebook group "Give Craig Ferguson an Emmy for The Late Late Show!!" ;)

  • "northern ireland isnt british?" - No, it isn't - Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales. But it is in the United Kingdom. Have a look at a UK passport - "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

  • 1.40 - 1.45 ^^

    he is so funny =D

  • this was on my birthday :)

  • @codnationdotnet, very well put.

  • damm i love him !!

  • what did hugh say that made fergy go "ohh ho ho hooo!?

  • I loved the bit where they talked about his daughter and dating xD

  • it's so weird hearing him with his real accent because i'm so used to the way he talks on House!

  • I think they knew eachother since the early days in Britain... (Reading craig's American On Purpose now, its awesome) thats why this interview seems so natural and really honest and funny. like 2 old friends just chatting.

  • I know! I'd watched these interviews before, but knowing they used to know each other (thanks to American on Purpose, too) makes the geniality so much more understandable. I thought it was before they were both British before, but you can see it's clearly something more than that, which I think is awesome. :)

  • @falulatonks Yeah its great, i was watching a Stephen Fry interview with Craig and they were talking about how they knew each other from the past so it was a nice not awkward interview.

  • ²artbart84 Oh, you are right. I think hugh is very "normal" in this interviuw...an hes very good^^

  • This is the most natural Hugh Laurie interview Ive ever seen. Tis fantastical

  • thats cuz craig is such a awesome talk show host

  • i know it went very smooth one of the smoothest interview I've ever seen

  • I would love to see Craig Ferguson guest star on House. Could be a reoccurring role like House's distant brother.

  • He could be like an old classmate of House's or something. Maybe an old friend lol

  • @135798642011 House's distant brother is Gordon Freeman

  • these guys would be great to go out and get bombed with

  • haha i fucking love both of them

  • About this whole UK/British thing. I`m Welsh/Celtic first and British second. Same with all the other UK countries (Scottish first - British second). All the celtic countries have a legitimate gripe towards the English establisment (the royal family/aristocracy/government etc) , but usually stop short against hating English people per se. All the celtic countries have their own language, which is completely different from English.

  • I know, it's not our fault though... noeone has a choice is what variation of english they are brought up with. Every english speaking country/region has it's own slang words and accents.

    Britain as a whole has a lot of accents, different parts have different words and way of saying things because we're lazy to put it simply :P The majority of slang Scottish AND English people use is the same but like I said, different regions etc.. some parts of scotland don't speak use the scots version :)

  • Scotland does have its own language -- it's Scottish gaelic.

  • Idiot.

  • @ShootaFodder Retard....

  • @chrismayberry: my comment was aimed at codnationdotnet's comment about minority languages. I agree with him on his accent post.

  • @ShootaFodder Was I right in thinking you claimed that the whole of scotland spoke a seperate language? You're wrong. English is the native language in Scotland, the only other languages we get taught in schools are either french, german or italian. Scottish Gaelic is only spoken on some small remote islands off the mainland of Scotland. I should know because i'm Scottish and i've lived here for 18 years.

  • @codnationdotnet @codnationdotnet Ur ye sayin' 'at scot's isnae a leid ay it's ain? yer wrang. scot's is gart up ay pict,gaelic,ol french, norwegian an' northumbrian an' developed th' sam time as sassenach. it is bein' re-introduced in schails.

  • @codnationdotnet Sae sassenach isnae uir natife leid, scot's is an' sassenach th' secondary 'at was forced it durin' th' enlightenment an' englification ay Scotlund.

    Translated,,,,,

    So, English isn't our native language, Scot's is and English the second that was forced out during the enlightenment and Englification of Scotland...

  • @neroangelo8 stop talking such trash online. Only chavs communicate like that on msn you fucking dimwit. Scots is our VOCAL slang variation of english spoken by the work class of our society like in working class parts of other countries. It's not considered a language of it's own you idiot, especially not when communicating with text online.

    English IS our primary language and it has been so for hundreds of years. Go learn your history before you have the nerve to debate online you twat.

  • @codnationdotnet I only message in English so thick ignorant fucks like you can understand. Go get an education boy.....

  • I like his accent somehow. I am not a nativ English speaker and I have only been learning English for 5 years now but I understand him better than most of the other actors.

  • yea I find the british accent (esp the BBC news english) to be much more "proper." They are very precise with their pronunciations where as over here in North America, I find we take shortcuts with our words.

  • They're not all more precise, try to listen to someone with a cockney accent for more than 3 seconds and you'll see what I mean.

  • ahaha yea i hear what you say. The scouse accent is pretty hard to decipher as well. But as I said in my earlier comment, the "BBC accent" is another ballgame.

  • it certainly sounds cleaner even if they say something dirty. everything sounds that much more polite with that accent.

  • Ummm.... no.... no they don't. That's a fairly thick English accent

  • his from Oxford... his English...

  • Comment removed

  • love the accents..!british and scottish in american television..! COOL..! LOLz

  • A Scottish accent is a type of british accent. Britain isn't actually a country, it's a landmass made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • Except that Ireland is a seperate island to the northwest of the mainland

  • Quite right people often making the mistake of thinking northern Ireland is part of Britain. It's called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for a reason.

  • thats like saying america and canada are the same country lol

  • Well a scottish accent is a British accent too. Britain IS Scotland, England and Wales. People just assume the posh English accent from London/Oxford is THE British accent because more people have it than anything else.

    Throughout different regions in england, scotland and wales you'll find MANY accents and variations on the english language and slang like in the USA.

    I dont say a New Yorker has an american accent and a texas guy has a texas accent.

  • Of course you don't say that a New York accent is THE American accent.

    Los Angeles has THE American accent.

    jk, but the center of media distribution (London, LA, NY to an extent) has the power to create the "standard" expectation of accents by way of entertainment saturation. All others become aberrations to the supposed norm.

  • @codnationdotnet "Britain IS Scotland, England and Wales."

    and northern ireland isnt british?

  • @codnationdotnet Robert Burns was one of your 'chavs' was he? They had MSN in the 18th century did they?

    Google, 'The Scottish Language'.

    There is the Scottish accent of English and the Scottish Language..

    Do some research before you make comments you Sassenach prick.

  • @neroangelo8 Robert burns wrote poetry in that fashion you idiot.. it was still considered english, but in light scottish dialect and other poetry he just wrote in english. And what has that got to do with modern times? I was born and raised in scotland for 18 years and never have I encountered another scot that speaks another "scottish" language. It's all in your head buddy... ye old fool. If you want to speak like ur living in the 18th century thats up to you, good luck trying to be understood

  • @codnationdotnet Man,you really are the epitome of stupidity! It was considered Scot's or Doric you fool which is very much still used in Scotland.You may have lived in Scotland for 18 years but you obviously stayed in your pocket of 'enlightened' Scotland and never travelled nor saw the reintroduction.I'm proud to be a Scot and I'm proud to speak Scot's nothing to do with 18th century, it's my language.Now, go and look at the Scottish Parliament website and see how stupid you make yourself.

  • @neroangelo8 well then, you and anyone who wants to give up speaking english to join some minority then good luck. English is the most common language on the internet, and English is the most common language in Scotland.

    I respect that you want to start speaking some other language, but the truth it English has for the most part and will always be the native language of Scotland.

    But there's no place for minority languages on youtube. Go live in the shetland islands and speak gaelic there.

  • @codnationdotnet Still messaing like an uneducated fool.You obviously have never been any further north than Edinburgh.If you had you would find that Scot's is still widely spoken and is the native language of modern Scot's.The language of the Scot's developed before and during the period that modern English developed.You want to be an English, fair enough, good riddance tae ye. Gaelic isnae ma leed.Scot's is starting to be retaught in our schools after you cretins tried to ethnic cleans us.

  • @codnationdotnet I should say, developed the same time as English as it wasn't English before....but anyway...at least I can type and speak in both if need must , you aren't even capable or willing to speak your own....so before you put upmessages berating people and saying they are wrong, do your homework.

  • @neroangelo8 First of all, I don't live in Edinburgh! I live in Fife, and been to Aberdeen countless times. And you started this argument, and from what I understood your trying to convince people on youtube that Scotland has it's own language NEXT to English which we don't... atleast not since the 18th century or whatever. Nobody wants to learn an outdated minority language anymore...

    Everyone in Scotland speaks English natively, and a minority up north Gaelic. And that is how it'll remain.

  • @codnationdotnet @codnationdotnet Well there you go then, you are young, stupid, naive and far too arrogant to check up on it. If you have been to Aberdeen you will hear Doric, the language that Southern Scot's spoke until the clearance and the 'enlightenment'. It IS a language and it DOES still exist. Not EVERYBODY speaks English natively and living from Fife you should know that!!Stop being a foolish childand eat your pride, you know your wrong.

  • @codnationdotnet The minority that speak Gaelic live mostly on the west coast and the Hebrides.Yes I started this argument because you have completely misinformed the people on the internet. I'm getting that you are born English? If you are, do yourself a favour and look it up ..now, go away and let the real intellects inform the world instead of messaging what you THINK is right..

  • @neroangelo8 I was born in Kirkcaldy and brought up in Fife... look, I don't know if your confusing scottish dialect with a seperate language. I do use alot of scottish slang vocally and say things in a scottish way when im talking with other scots... but I wouldn't regard that as a different language...xD its called an accent and local slang because us scots are lazy :P

    But the idea that schools in scotland are teaching kids another "scottish" language is completely is absurd...

  • @codnationdotnet You know what's infuriating? Your too pig headed to look it up because you fear the truth. Scot's is a recognised language under the European charter for minority languages, it is in the Scottish Parliament website. Is' Ken' in English? NO, Is 'wee' in English? NO that is two words in a whole dictionary of them. There is a difference between the Sco't/English accent and the Scot's language.STOP being a deliquent and educate yourself, be a man and not a boy and face the truth.

  • @neroangelo8 Aye, Scot's is a minority language. I've never met anyone who speaks it though, probable 'cause I live in Glasgow.

  • @codnationdotnet Youtube won't let me post the rational response, so you will just have to live with the choice you make.....to be enlightened or stay ignorant...

  • @codnationdotnet -- I have no idea what prompted that one Texan's comment, but as another Texan I've got to point out that I've never heard of Texans distancing themselves from New Yorkers, and asking for respect because the state wasn't part of the U.S. for ten years is incredibly stupid.

    Just had to put that out there, because not all Texans are douchebags. =)

  • @codnationdotnet What I put in text is Scot's and nothing to do with chav you fckn idiot!! it's fools like you that tried to kill the language in the first place prefering to use the 'sophisticated' English. You really need to study more and get your head out of your arse!

    If I could post websites on here, I would and shut you right up...brainless fool....

  • @codnationdotnet the accent is not the same...at all. It's a different accent.

  • @codnationdotnet One thing not to be confused is language or dialect versus accent. I think this is often the source of confusion.

  • @codnationdotnet I'm pretty sure there's a Monty Python skit about that somewhere. Amen, brother.

  • @codnationdotnet  ...but they do!:) only it's usually called "southern" accent.

  • @codnationdotnet you forgot the Irish :) they are brits too, you know :)

  • @legalchick2008 Not all the Irish!!! only Northern Ireland

  • @codnationdotnet brit and scot accents are completely different.Hugh has brittish accent where Craig is scottish you coming up and flexing you 'brain' muscle doesnt mean anything. if i go to illinois from wisconsin.people talk different.the more north you get..the more southern accents are...which is strangeeither way i sound like a canadian because im further north than madison.my As sound like Ehs.so does this make me canadian? NO i was born and raised here in WI and so were my parents.

  • @Travis111000 Great Britain is composed of England, Scotland and Wales. Hugh Laurie is English, Craig Ferguson is Scottish. They're both British. It's the same principle as one person being a New Yorker and another a Texan, but both are American. A "British accent" would technically mean any accent from anywhere in any of those countries. However, people misuse the term and use it to refer to Received Pronunciation and/or English English (/Anglo-English).

  • @FaerieDust I believe it's actually England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.... Nothern Ireland and Ireland are separate; One is it's own country (Protestant vs Catholic)

  • @EvaRose80z Nope, Great Britain is the big island of England, Scotland and Wales. The U.K. (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And yeah, Northern Ireland borders to (the Republic of) Ireland. U.K. is sometimes referred to as Britain, that's technically incorrect, since the name Britain doesn't technically include Northern Ireland (though when used is everyday situations, it's often understood anyway). It's till wrong, though :P

  • @codnationdotnet very few people have that accent. its just the most famous because its the accent of the queen and the prime ministers. its like whenever someone outside the usa does an american accent its always a texan accent because thats the most well known. new york accent and south east english accents are almost exactly the same.

  • @ryanlorproductions new york accents hit vowels very hard though

  • Plus Northern Ireland.

  • @codnationdotnet Britain, along with Wales, Ireland, Scottland, and the Isle of Mann make up the United Kingdom, which was part of the English Empire. England is the UK and its territories. Therefore no, a Scotch accent and a British accent are different.

  • @Arenlor thats not true.

  • @codnationdotnet you Forgot Nothern Ireland in Britain...

  • @codnationdotnet As a Texan I feel it my duty to inform you that we try to distance ourselves whenever possible from new yorkers, so feel free to say that I have a Texas accent. By the way you capitalized new york and not Texas. We were our own country for 10 years, so show some respect. On a side note my dad is English and consequently i understand your frustration, the term Britain does describe all the British Isles and their peoples, but most new yorkers are ignorant self absorbed nitwits.

  • @mastermind0501 not rly new yorkers are wonderful people as long as you get to know 'em better

  • @codnationdotnet you'll propably make some Scottish people very angry:P

  • i love them both!!

    *q*

  • "you do it once and you think - OW"

  • thats why u have 31+ comment raiting lol

  • @toysindahood haha, I KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING THAT.

  • "She's allowed to start dating on her 35th birthday..."

    Wow, more strict than my dad... he's allowing me to date on my 30th birthday. :-P

  • I'ld let him marry me :P

  • He's ever so slightly lost his normal accent on some words.

    Damn.

  • What does Craig say at 0.40?

  • "What happened to the bike? Wa-ha-ho!"

  • I love Brits & Scots, the funniest interview I've seen in years! Bravo gents! House is a great show too...

  • Scots are Brits.

  • Well, depends which Scot you ask, really...

  • Thats a good point.

  • How's that?
