  • gosh his accent has changed over the years

  • "from his bed, he put his hand on my head like that and... it was amazing, it was great"

  • "...and ...I loved that..."

  • i have to admit i cry when i watch it....

    love it

  • I started tearing up as I watched

  • beautiful x

  • Craig is my favorite person in the world.

  • I love it, it's where I come from, it's who I am.

    A lot more people would feel good about themselves if they came to peace with that notion.

  • 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.

  • Today we're Raising the Parting Glass for my Dad, who passed on this week at age 90. He was a great Scottish American, and I'm watching this again because it helps me.

    Craig is a bright light in my life.

  • wonderful story, craig is great :)

  • His accent is so different now.

    What a great moment in Late Late Show history.

  • When he talks about his dad touching his head it makes me cry :(

    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.

    ....and Craig makes me laugh!

  • 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.

  • Craig talking about him and his dad watching TV made me cry

  • can anybody transcript what he says in the last 20 seconds please??? thanksss

  • @alkorkon2007 "the relatioship I have with my father is not unlike the relationship I have with the old country, you know with scotland, I grumble about it, i complain about it, I can even be mean about it, but I love it beyond reason its where I'm from its what I am" ahem from fellow scot

  • @Andy3612 thanks man. I really appreciate it.

  • This is a very sweet man.

  • how could anyone thumb this video down, are you serious

  • guys its OK, we feel, we cry

  • Very touching.

  • craig, come back to the uk and take over j. ross' friday night slot! seems a very admirable fellow, does craig.

  • You can tell that Craig's accent is more scottish then than it is now. Even though this happened four years ago, it still made my eyes watery.

  • I looked this up a few months back after my own Father passed away, forgot to save it. Watching this again I still can' help but cry.

  • 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 was born in Scotland and my father died two weeks ago. I know where he's coming from.

  • I can't stand to see him in pain. No matter what causes it. I know what it feels like to loose someone but not my father

    Craig just know we love you and that you are the best at what you do.

  • He's an amazing person with everything he has ever gone through. It's impossible to listen to him and not feel an immense amount of respect for him.

  • best chat show host on TV... why is he on so late ?? Only people watching the night shift can actually watch it live.

  • So beautiful. ;_; I need to watch him more regularly.

  • I just have an immense amount of respect for this man.

  • seeing as youve got 42 thumbs up thus far so does everyone else

    ...now lets make that 43

  • 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

  • He has the lovely Scottish accent. the best host ever.

  • Best show host ever. This guy is going to be the next big host for primetime!

  • I know this is three years late, but my sympathies to Craig's family in the death of his father. We love Craig.

  • Theres no other talk show host like craig :)

    Thanks craig for sharing your heart with us.

  • tear

  • when he talked about how his dad would put his hand on craig's head....wow.

    But, he's lucky....he had a chance to say goodbye...I never had that with my dad

  • Graig Ferguson is amazing,

    I actually shed a few tears when i saw this, ..he's so genuine and original as always.

  • Craig Ferguson, I love you.

  • i miss my daddy now :(

  • 1:37-1:47

    you're still his little boy, craig.

    god bless you <3

  • 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.

  • His accent is more America now.

  • 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

  • why doesn't he have an emmy yet? :/ he deserves so much more.

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • Craig is really great person and he has a HEART FOR GOD SAKES!!! he's not like the other talk show hosts.....now i feel like crying........

  • 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

  • I like Craig so much, he is a great comedian, actor, and he has a Heart!

    He is emotional, and caring.

  • 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...

  • Crap. I'm not the person to get too emotional about stuff, but when he paused, a tear fell.

  • Wow. Cool from Craig.

    And on a side note: watching this video you can completely see how his accent decreased over the years.

  • 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.

  • Omg, poor Craig :'-(

    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.

  • God Bless him and he's family!

  • That was so sad, I'm so sorry Craig.

    Love, joanie

    Thanks for posting

  • craig has a great heart

  • I actually got a little choked up, Rest in peace

  • God be with him

  • That's horrible.... I'm so sorry for him... He is a good person.

  • I just love this guy!

  • even comedian have sad moments

  • Just to let you know, Craig's mother passed away on December 1st. God be with his family at this difficult time

  • simply great!

  • Very touching. A great comedian AND a very touching personality.

  • 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 ...

  • Admirable how he can publicly speak about his father like this after one week, not caring to show his feelings.

    The way he is touched seems so ... human.

    He's just the funniest guy in the world.

  • I agree.

  • 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

  • God Bless Craig Ferguson!

  • The way he hesitates when talking about his dad putting his hand on his head - oh my. Craig is so real. No wonder his fans feel so close to him.

  • 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.

  • this is older right? his accent seems so much stronger.

  • Wherever he is, Craig...he must be so proud of you. God Bless you...we're sorry for your loss.

  • poor craig

    bless him and his father

  • 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.

  • Didn't he get nominated for this?

  • Yes.

  • yes...and he should have won! :(

  • Craig is so real. I love that about him. It's one of the main reasons why he's my favorite late night talk show host.

  • 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?

  • OMG. That is soooooooo sad. I feel bad for him. He such a good guy! I almost cryed.

  • 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. :)

  • Craig, I wish I knew you and your father...

    Perhaps I did long ago... You are too real for

    it to have never been... Godspeed.

  • well im scottish and i dont think any of the kind so speak for yourself. Graig is everything but fake...

  • your dad must be very proud to have a son like you, craig

  • 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.

  • he is definitly the desendent of willian wallace!

  • wow. i cried when he cried.

    i've known what kind of a person craig is since i first saw his show, and he my impression has never changed. he's a great man.

    he reminds me of my own dad in so many ways.

  • 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.

  • My Grandfather knew hes Dad, it was good of him to come back to glasgow for his dad.

  • sorrry i feel bad ) ':

  • Bless him. Its hard losing someone. Sorry for your loss Craig.

  • yeah exactley!

  • 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 love how he says his father just said "ahhaaaay" somehow that expression just sounds soo scottish. RIP Robert Ferguson

  • aw poor craig!

    im so incredibly sorry about his dad!

    =[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[=[­=[=[=[

    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

    i dont want 2 cry anymore

  • When he started choking up, he had ME tearing up. God, this man is just so incredible. He is the funniest, most honest man I've ever heard of.

  • God bless u craig fergurson

  • 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.

  • Im sooo sorry craig, want to give you a hug right now i know how it is to lose parents young

  • Craig is awesome!! Such heart and sincerity!

    God Bless him for being such a "Real" human being!

  • your a good man craig ferguson, dont change

  • I love your boldness Craig.

  • 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.

    Mike

  • I love you Craig. Goddess Bless you!

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • ='(

  • This chokes me up every time.

  • sry i mean you CAN tell his accent is acting up. sry

    ILUVYACRAIG!!!

  • 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.

    Please dont cry Craig, youll make me cry.

    Iluvya<3

  • 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?

  • Re: piratebri

    "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.

  • u must be a dumbass robot

  • no I'm just saying how it is.

  • He's Scottish though.

  • hey judge judy lover (the NY judge) are you sure Flicker455 is from the US?

  • no hes not but its still true!

  • hes not british dumb fuck

  • Heh, my bad, sorry. Got Britain and England mixed up. :-/. And I'm not from America, I'm actually from Norway.

  • luv u craig thanx

  • Now if only our world leaders could draw such empathy from others.....

    Great video. Craig puts us right in the moment with him; what a nice way to live.

  • That is really touching.

  • i like him because he's true and real

  • he is the man

  • Craig's dad died one month before my own precious dad. I can so relate to him. My dad died in March 2006.....I admire Craig deeply.

  • amazing man

  • I love him. :)

  • craig ferguson is the fuggin man.

    that kind of genuine honesty is almost nonexistent today.

  • 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.

  • omg poor craig! I want to hug him right now poor guy...His shoe rox my sox! He is so funny! And his accent is really sexy ^^

    But poor craig...he's so nice and truthful :)

  • 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 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'm addicted tooo i'm addicted to him and dave

  • 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

  • Does anyone have the whole monolog? It'd be awesome. =)

  • 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. :)

  • I feel so bad for him so sad

  • Shock! isnt the word when he sed that

  • I MENT SAD!!!!!

  • OMG that's so dad, bless his heart!

  • he's so amazingly funny. &its so sweet of him to do this! <3

  • He's so amazing. How many people can give a touching eulogy and still entertain? ILY, Craig!

  • i love him..... i wanna just hug him.
