@mousey9334 Yes, when he was being his onstage character Bing Hitler. In normal conversation he didn't sound like that. He grew up in Cumbernauld; the Bing Hitler accent is an exaggerated Falkirk/Grangemouth accent with a bit of Fife & Highland with a twist thrown in for good measure!
It's so hard to watch this after reading his book and knowing he's strung out on drugs and alcohol at this point in his life. Thank god you got sober Craig I really love you now :)
@MrAmadaeus I was talking about your inbred ass. Not Craig's. Craig's all right, well at least now he is, the stand ups in the old days were pretty lame.
@MrAmadaeus Things I hate even more, nations that decide to disregard any phonetic connection with their written language in their oral communication, while bashing the other nations that share the same language on the grounds of 400 year old wars and for the sake of the coolness of superficial cynicism.
Stay where you are, you bitter-ass-consonant-loving-sheep-shaggin-mufucka.
@MrAmadaeus it's not like he's a faking fucking American. He IS a citizen which make him an American. Sounds like someone is sad they lost their national treasure.

@christinedeal Our national treasure you fucking cunt? I'd never heard of this prick. I was trying to find some footage of stand up by Jerry Sadowitz and I got this unfunny bastard.
@christinedeal You call someone a fucking cunt because you don't agree with them? What a tool. Get some anger management, and then lose your keyboard.
@Iissafaith You retard. I didn't call her a fucking cunt because I didn't agree with her I called her a fucking cunt beacause she insulted my country.
This was a couple years before he planned to commit suicide. Also before he lost all that weight.... Possibly a couple years after he came back from New York? Before every show he would drink to calm his nerves, and before each day he would do lines of coke to hide his drunkeness.
Holy... I hate to see him like this. I know those stage lights can be hot, but he was seriously sweating and.... just... looked... so sick. I couldn't bring myself to laugh... after seeing him talk about the Christmas he almost committed suicide because of these problems... :\ I'm so glad he's sober.. he's really an inspiration. And, really, if you saw both videos and still wanna drink etc, you already must be on a drug...

Actually, I've seen Craig Ferguson on the late-late show over in the U.S. and it must be something to do with American audiences low expectations of comedy or maybe a willingness to laugh as soon as the big sign in the studio flashes "Applause", or "Laughter", but he's really not funny at all.
He gets a big kick out of how easy it is to make 'em laugh and get paid big bucks for it over there, but honestly, he's not that funny at all.
I still like him as a a host, but as for the comedy.....nah.
Well, he´s funny here, better than many comedians now....but, really: He´s better now! =). That is something good, many get worse with the years. I´m an alcoholic, too, I can understand him in that !!!. I LOVE his kind of comedy, maybe the greatest talent in Stand-Up today.
Saw him at the Cafe Royal in Edinburgh in, ooh let me think, 1984. He was rubbish, forgot his lines, forgot his name! But alas, speaking to the guy at the bar after the show, he came over as a really sound man. Glad to see he's gone onto bigger and better things. For all it's not in Caledonia :)
Man, I'm glad Craig got off the booze and drugs. He looks/sounds like the lovechild of Alexei Sayle and Buckwheat. Two great tastes that taste horrible together.
I finished reading his book around a month-two months ago and i wanted to see him as "bing hitler", and man has his accent really smoothed out, but he is definatly one of our greatest comedians of our time so far. i love the fact that he was been sober for what now, almost 20, more than 20 years? and yet he is even funnier than when he was a cocaine addict or a drunk like in this video. no matter what, i'll always love craig though.
Bluntly put he's aged well because he's stopped drinking. Look at him here, all bloated and tired. The video is 23 years ago yet he looks better now, all because of alcohol. Good on him. A real inspiration.
Heh. God. He's out of his mind on drugs. He is on of the few comedians/rock stars/edgy and genius level artists who get better once they get sober. So many end up losing that edge, or they try too hard to do exactly what they were doing before sobriety. I love Craig. Personally, I'm am addict, so I can relate to him a lot. I'm very proud he got sober. He's an inspiration to me
He looks healthier now than he did here. And I think his improv style on The Late Late Show is a lot funnier. But everyone who is a fan should definitely read his book.
he wanted to be a scientist who was floged by american anti intellectualism commonly found in working class trods who obey the words of their party like hard lined idiots.
I find Craig funny pre and post getting sober. But he's much better after. This is great. But I bet you that if he did the same act now he'd make it much funnier. And thats even minus the experiences he's had with comedy between then and now.
He's still funny though. I must admit, I can not look at bees or wasps the same way again.
Wow, his accent was so much stronger before he emigrated to America.
He seems more, um, "sane" now, but not boring.
Best late night show in my opinion. Leaves Letterman, Kimmel etc. in the dust. I not even going to mention that other guy, you know, the one who likes to explain a (lame) joke right after he tells it.
Oh God. I hate this. I've just finished his book (American on Purpose) and it hurts me to watch this because I know that he was drunk and had problems with both alcohol and drugs at this point in his life.
@sweiland75 well, in american on purpose, he states that the bing "character" is a very backwoods kind of provinical. So while he has most likely lost some of his accent..he was also putting on more of a rural scotish accent for this character.
So this is the notorius Bing Hitler! Not quite what I pictured after reading American on Purpose, but still hilarius. I recommend "American on Purpose". Craig Ferguson has had a hell of a life.
yeah this is about 5 years before he stopped drinking. I think he was still doing cocaine at this time, too? He's always been funny, but sobriety treats him so much better. You can tell he's not truly happy in these videos...He looks like he's got a huge weight on his shoulders.
He's definitely better now, with the late late show. He's high on life now. waaay funnier.
To theETOkid1: Please try and get "Between the Bridge and the River" as well. It is incredible and shows how deep Mr. Ferguson's talent really goes. The weaving of the characters and the storylines keep you mesmerized.
If you can't buy it, please check it out at the library.

This man is truly gifted. [Alright...and he is every bit as charming as well!]
I've known about "Between the Bridge and the River", but didn't realize it wasn't a work of fiction. What's it about? I really loved "American on Purpose". You could almost here his voice and charisma translated through print.
Just finished his book the other night and I was surprised and quite pleased to find this. I was thinking I'd rather like to see him as Bing Hitler. Reading about it isn't quite the same, haha.
I read his book a few days ago and it was very emotional and I cried so much at the end, and to see this video is... amazing because it's so different from reading and seeing it.
Other than that, he is funny with or without drunking or drugs. xD But I'm really glad he stopped and didn't die from all of that.
its such a different style of comedy, this was back when he was drinknig ang u can tell because he's so sweaty ang the style of comedy is so angry. now uts much more laid back and its more observational than just ranting. also he's bee in america for 15 years or so and thts why his accent is more americanized now than it was in this clip
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
But what happened to him as soon as he got a job in america? Turned into a fanny thats what! American accent appeared from nowhere and talked shite and patronised any scots that came onto the show....Grrrrrr, just bugs me back here in old scotland!
When you move to a country OBVIOUSLY you will start to take on the accent of the people around, it's just natural. I like his American/Scottish accent. This accent makes me cringe, and that comes from someone with a Scottish accent.
Na, he's not on speed... LoL.

its such a different style of comedy, this was back when he was drinknig ang u can tell because he's so sweaty ang the style of comedy is so angry. now uts much more laid back and its more observational than just ranting. also he's bee in america for 15 years or so and thts why his accent is more americanized now than it was in this clip

Craig kind of looks like Pete Doherty when he was younger.

He was adopting an exaggerated provincial Scottish accent for comedy purposes.

And what makes you think it's an "exaggerated provincial" accent?!! Sounds fairly normal to me!

In an interview, Craig Ferguson described the Bing Hitler thing as putting on an exaggerated provincial accent.

But what happened to him as soon as he got a job in america? Turned into a fanny thats what! American accent appeared from nowhere and talked shite and patronised any scots that came onto the show....Grrrrrr, just bugs me back here in old scotland!

When you move to a country OBVIOUSLY you will start to take on the accent of the people around, it's just natural. I like his American/Scottish accent. This accent makes me cringe, and that comes from someone with a Scottish accent.
