I think if you want to make humor and make fun of other people you must also be able to speak honestly about yourself. I respect Craig because he's able to show his most vulnerable side without losing any dignity.
I don't watch the late late show to laugh. I watch the show every night because I feel like Craig is an old friend I get to visit. After reading his book, I feel like I know this man. His honesty about his own life and show of vulnerability disarms me. Now I see my failures less as failures and my potential to succeed beyond my wildest dreams as possible. I know lately he appears to be less excited about doing the show, and I wish he could see these messages and how he has affected people.

Craig is so honest and open, it's so refreshing especially in the world of entertainment. He shows that celebrities are not flawless because at the end of the day we all hurt and experience pain in our lives but also joy and laughter.
What a wonderfully honest and open glimpse into the life of these two men, spoken with the deepest respect from a loving son. We should all be so lucky.

If I was talking about my dad in that way *knocks on wood* if he ever passed I would be hard a mess. That took some guts Craig sorry for your loss. ="(
If I was talking about my dad in that way *knocks on wood* if he ever passed I would be hard to understand through all my tears. That took some guts Craig sorry for your loss. ="(
i love my dad and he's always been best friend. i can't imagine how a world would be without him for me or my family. what he just said is the most eloquent response to that kind of sadness and also the utmost respect that any father or mother should who live for their children should command. right now, i refuse to think of the day when i have to be without them.
i have my major share of fights with them, but i always hope they know how much i love them.
this man speaks with such dignaty in a world of constant screaming celeb ego maniacs...watched his speech on recovering from booze...hats off to you craig....you're a true gentleman
I never knew he had a late night show until one day I caught it flipping through the channels. He is very underrated and I hope he is able to maintain a solid career. The man is funny, and through this video, shows how much of a heart and honest he can be.
Before each of his parents passed - his show began just in time to get me thru the passing of my mom in 2005. Then seeing him be genuine enough to honor his father, then mother made him, without question, THE BEST. THANK YOU CRAIG, FOR BEING YOU! (They'd have to have a special category in the Emmy Awards for him, and they know it
I have seen him in person.And he seemed like a wonderful person. I feel bad for him, but it's good that he loved his father so much. I envy him in so many ways.
Go fuck yourself you prick. He had the balls to talk about his dad who just died on national television. And in case you didn't notice he wasn't crying, he was just really sad, and no one can blame him, his father died. You really need help
i have tears in my eyes, wtf? i was thinkin it wud be all cringey and embarrasing, but h'e just so sweet and it's a credit to his presenting skills that he can articulate so well what his dad means to him, on TV, and still make it powerful.
also i like how his proper scottish accent is coming through here, he's starting to lose it since he became american :s
arhh , I feel for him (anyone in that situation) and envy them as my father left me when i was 4 & even though he is still alive (remarried kids etc) he has or wants nothing to do with me ,I am 40 now and it still hurts me day by day...
I remember seeing this and I was so impressed by what a fine person the son of Robert Ferguson has become. And don't you know there were some trouble years as Craig spent a few years drinking. He has come a long way. Overcome so much. I make a point of watching him now. I have never again seen his so serious. He makes me laugh, and he makes me proud.
I just wanted to give him a huge hug and let him cry on my shoulder the whole time I watched this video. The part about his dad putting his hand on Craig's head made me misty.
The interview Craig does with Dr. Drew on this same show is fantastic. Just a really nice conversation about how he's dealing with his dad's death. Just search "Drew Pinsky 2.1" There's also a 2.2. Watch both parts. Really touching ...
when i saw this i gained immediate respect for him as someone who has lost a dad and can say screw u to media written jokes and garbage for somethng personal...shows whats most important
I watched and as he spoke I knew exactly what he was feeling. Not even necessarily by his words but by his eyes too. You can see his heart broken in his eyes even when he's not crying. You can tell that he didn't do this for himself- because you can tell this took so much out of him. He did it for his dad. Anybody who has lost a loved one can't watch this without feeling something.
I don't recall when I've ever been so moved by anything. And it was so, so real. You can't act that.
I tried to watch this without tearing up, but when he paused at 1:32 I just started crying ;_; It was such a brave thing to do, talking about something so painful and personal on television.
your just mad cuz he thinks the brits suck....any brit prolly doesnt watch this show...he lost his dad.. lol ...is it too much to ask to let him honor his father...what kind of a person are you?
My heart goes out to him. I know it was two years ago, but still, it's hard losing someone. I know it would be horrible for me if I lost my dad, because he and I share such a bond.
Craig is such a great man. His father raised him well. :)
Sorry for your loss, Craig. I haven't lost a parent, but I did lose my grandpa, who I held so dearly, and it was a long suffering death. Now, my aunt on my father's side is dying, too. It's a very hard hit, and you never get over it all the way.
it does scare me almost hes always so funny and raw and to see him try and FORCE himself not to cry when he talks about his dad and putting his hand on his head its odd.
Real Tears show that you are real man Craig, Sorry for the Loss, Without his Dad Robert, we will not know how wonderful his Son CRAIG is. GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM.
i have never ever ever seen this side of him before!
not to sound rude or anything but...it kinda scares me...i say that because ok,i just started watching the late late show about a month ago...& he's always SO hillarious & now,to see him almost cry..i cant bear to watch this EVER again.its very VERY toutching & i would ♥ 2 put it in my favs but i really cant watch it again
This video made me cry the first time I saw it and it still does today.I wanted so much to hold Craig.Craig, thank you so much for your beautiful heart.
I thank the bloody stars that there's somebody on the talk circuit that has some real heart, some real soul and some real guts. I loved my Dad and lost him young- this and the Britney defense was welcomed 'humanity'. GOD BLESS, LAD.
Just ripped a piece of my heart out w/your love for your Dad. I miss my parents everyday and they've been gone since '97 & '01. I am so impressed w/Craig's honesty and I'm not sure if he would be the man that I enjoy if he was not sober. Sober has been good for Craig. xo
Oh man. How is he so incredibly awesome?! I mean, he's fricking hilarious and he's genuine and honest and I love him! I wish more people would watch his show. He deserves at least that. I mean, really, he is a billion times greater than Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy kimmel combined.
oh god craig, yur some handsome and charming and i cant wait for to me him. He is so strong to say that on air. His father raised him sooo well. And you can't tell his accent started acting up we he talked about his father. You are so great craig. Your the best.
The original clip on CBS was editted. Not djsnow's fault. And I think (just a suggestion) you shouldn't go calling people assholes after a moment's thought.
"Yes, I am opinionated. No, I don't care what you think about it."
You contradict your own words. Why did you bother replying to me? But while we're here: No, I wasn't saying this two and a half minute clip was the entire show. You're welcome, I would love to subject you to my 'pompous attitude' again.
And sorry, I did make a mistake, I thought I saw this originally on the CBS channel on youtube.
I have so much respect for him... there are no words to describe. He definitely didn't deserve for anything like this to happen to him, and being able to talk about it on TV must take so much bravery. Thank you, Craig.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's very strange to hear a British person talk serious like that. we just don't talk all serious, I'n my 23 years I've not heard one person talk about their feelings :)
Craig just comes off as such a classy and totally honest person on television, which is so rare these days. And I mean, he still manages to be hilarious.
I love craig, hes so badass! I love the guy,...look at allll the youtube videos and you will never see more positive comments and more thumbs up then this guy! I love this scot/american! What a great guy! a mans man, this is what all men need to be like!
This euology is realy touching, the part when he mentions his father placing his hand on his head (and then he pauses for a moment) almost brings tears to my eyes.
I really respect this man, the restraint, morals and things that you don't see in a lot of people now a days. The eulogy to his father, not poking fun at Spears while all the others are. Even with his drinking problem about 15 years ago, he makes it light and he really shows that he is a regular person, real and not some phony prick strutting around thinking he's got diplomatic immunity. Pretty slick tribute =) Craig making fun of the Microsoft Zune, to me, never gets old xD
gosh his accent has changed over the years

I thank the bloody stars that there's somebody on the talk circuit that has some real heart, some real soul and some real guts. I loved my Dad and lost him young- this and the Britney defense was welcomed 'humanity'. GOD BLESS, LAD.

Just ripped a piece of my heart out w/your love for your Dad. I miss my parents everyday and they've been gone since '97 & '01. I am so impressed w/Craig's honesty and I'm not sure if he would be the man that I enjoy if he was not sober. Sober has been good for Craig. xo

Oh man. How is he so incredibly awesome?! I mean, he's fricking hilarious and he's genuine and honest and I love him! I wish more people would watch his show. He deserves at least that. I mean, really, he is a billion times greater than Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy kimmel combined.

Well, I don't know about Letterman, but i AGREE about the rest of those dumbasses. Especially Conan. How the hell is he still on TV?
Jigs1girl 3 years ago
too be honest, Letterman has NEVER made me laugh. Kimmel would be my second favorite I think... after Craig.

How on earth is Letterman the funniest?

Why did you edit the clip up? I wanted to see the entire monologue.
Asshole

The original clip on CBS was editted. Not djsnow's fault. And I think (just a suggestion) you shouldn't go calling people assholes after a moment's thought.

Actually, it wasn't. I was able to find the entire show via torrent. But thanks for subjecting me to your pompous attitude, asshole.
Did I mention asshole?

"Yes, I am opinionated. No, I don't care what you think about it."
You contradict your own words. Why did you bother replying to me? But while we're here: No, I wasn't saying this two and a half minute clip was the entire show. You're welcome, I would love to subject you to my 'pompous attitude' again.
And sorry, I did make a mistake, I thought I saw this originally on the CBS channel on youtube.
[Cue: "asshole"]

I have so much respect for him... there are no words to describe. He definitely didn't deserve for anything like this to happen to him, and being able to talk about it on TV must take so much bravery. Thank you, Craig.

It's very strange to hear a British person talk serious like that. we just don't talk all serious, I'n my 23 years I've not heard one person talk about their feelings :)

Craig just comes off as such a classy and totally honest person on television, which is so rare these days. And I mean, he still manages to be hilarious.

This euology is realy touching, the part when he mentions his father placing his hand on his head (and then he pauses for a moment) almost brings tears to my eyes.
dreamdewil 3 years ago 8
I wish I could find a copy of the show to see. It was before I started watching his show. I am addicted to the show now...big time.
It makes me sad to hear his sadness about his dad. He is so sweet....

I really respect this man, the restraint, morals and things that you don't see in a lot of people now a days. The eulogy to his father, not poking fun at Spears while all the others are. Even with his drinking problem about 15 years ago, he makes it light and he really shows that he is a regular person, real and not some phony prick strutting around thinking he's got diplomatic immunity. Pretty slick tribute =) Craig making fun of the Microsoft Zune, to me, never gets old xD

One of the best eps of any talk show host I've ever seen. He was totally honest and Craig opened up to the public. True, true person. :)
