The Late Late Show Interview 1/23/09 [PT1] [HQ]

[MrLogan8r]

simba...

[DManlsTheMan]

He would be the best granpa ever telling me his old stories

[NeutronChap]

do some idiots dislike this this video because their search didn't work and instead of finding Darth Vader they found this video?!! Fucking tools!

[Terminus92]

We must destroy them ship by ship, get the crew to their fighters.

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

His voice sounds synthesised still. So damn cool.

[ExtremeKnexRides]

i would pay to hear him say 'Remember who you are, you are my son and the one true king (Lion King) that would be great

[zmeicorp]

when he whispers , he sounds like normal man ( i mean ordinary)

[USCLax34]

morgan freeman wishes he had james earl jones' voice

[caroluvsrainbows13]

4 ppl have major issues. i ant stop thinking about mufasa on the late show..it weird..:D

[FernandoLuis191]

If he could only speak Castillian, he would sound so incredible!.

No offense to you English-speakers, but your language is very monosyllabic, very ugly.

[SinisterSkyline]

@FernandoLuis191 no es verdad, lo que pasa es que no vas a ver los pináculos de la capacidad lingüística en un talk-show estadounidense, nada mas mira QI y comprueba como tas equivocado en asumir las capacidades de un idioma completo porque crees que manejas toda la información sobre el idioma a raíz de que viste una entrevista. Por cierto, no puedes decir "sin ofender" y decir que es "muy feo", simplemente no funciona

[FernandoLuis191]

@SinisterSkyline It's pretty ugly then. Claro que sí, es el Chino de occidente. Puras palabras pequeñas. Es un idioma horrible.

[k7k8k6]

I felt like mufasa is speaking . and he is ALVE ! :D

[chivasmexicano1]

goats :D

[Jmndmb32]

Mr. Jones should have smacked him when he interrupted and asked if he smokes pot

[perfectdark158]

My doctor sounds exactly like him

[TheBlueBerryTrees2]

Wheres Geoff?! lol and all the crap thats on his desk?

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

IT'S MUFASA!!

[martythetickler]

I'm a complete atheist, but I imagine God sounds like a cross between James Earl Jones and Christopher Lee. With a little Brian Blessed thrown in.

[scrumpadouchessBAMF]

@martythetickler and a bit of tay zonday

[martythetickler]

@scrumpadouchessBAMF I hate that damn song, but that's possible too.

[azmirreader]

look closely in 1:02

was that Bonnie Hunt in disguise ?

[lozaus1]

Legend. Darth would never have been the same without James !

[somebodygothurt]

@inrwizards Sorry I've never heard of him. We don't get that many superfluous American talk shows on tv here. James Earl Jones is still a legendary actor so I'd say there's a good few people who might be interested in seeing him. I don't remember how i got here either. There's no need for the hostility though. I don't want to get into one of those pathetic youtube arguments.

[TheMrSpartanking]

@somebodygothurt I find the guy your replying to's lack of faith of disturbing.

[SouthsideDOGZ]

I could fully imagine charging to war on his orders

[MrJaykray]

at around 4:14 when he says army, it's incredible.

[snorri500]

I agree with James on the whisper acting.

[monkeyphart190]

james' voice is incredibly soothing. i feel happier everytime i hear him speak. 

[breasthound]

i feel honoured to be the same species as james earl jones.

[roXy3tiger]

oh wow i he doesent looks like mufasa O_O muffy is handsome XD

[chadalchandelier]

Isnt that the grandpa from verizon

[MrHamit64]

Ah this video's funny man.

[thekkl]

He's a surprisingly smart man.

[blitzencheeze]

No God would sound more like a Combination of Earl Jones,Chuck Norris,Morgan Freeman,Johnny Depp and The Cookie Monster

[yirotogi]

@blitzencheeze Take Chuck Norris and Johnny Depp out and it sounds awesome.

[blitzencheeze]

@yirotogi lol yeah too much will just ruin it :D

[tommychimmy]

damn 4 vader haters

[BigmanEZ827]

i imagine God sounds like James Earl Jones

[PrinceOfPersia1996]

@BigmanEZ827 God is a hybrid of James Earl Jones and Gordon Freeman.

[gothamcity29]

@BigmanEZ827

No he sounds like Morgan Freeman.

[BuddhaMaster84]

@gothamcity29 His voice is slightly rounder and clearer. Whilst Morgan Freemans noise sounds like a pure distored bass (the word 'distorted' is very important) He sounds almost like a pure square wave

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@gothamcity29 Earl Jones has this booming, clear, smooth bass voice, whereas Freeman has more of a crackling southern-ish baritone. At the end of the day, the two don't sound anything alike XD.

[RUMELSKIN]

@BigmanEZ827 I bet God gave him His voice!! haha

[joetavish]

james earl jones kelsey grammer and morgan freeman have lovely voices

[CyberspacedLoner]

he also starred in the movie Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the early 1980s

[fishandfestival]

James has a beautiful voice and is a brilliant actor and seems to be a wonderful person...He has aged very, very well as well...James was fantastic as the King of Zamunda in "Coming to America" and as the voice of Simba's father in "The Lion King"...I never pegged James as a goat farmer...I wonder if James eats goat meat...Jamaican curry goat is delicious...James has one of the most familiar voices of the 20th century and is or was the voice of CNN - "This is CNN" - to boot.

[fishandfestival]

James has a beautiful voice and is a brilliant actor and seems to be a wonderful person...He has aged very, very well as well...James was fantastic as the King of Zamunda in "Coming to America" and as the voice of Simba's father in "The Lion King"...I never pegged James as a goat farmer...I wonder if he eats them too...Goat meat is very, very good and very tasty.

[ridemooses]

James Earl Jones was mute for part of his life and some of the hangover from that is he's still a bit quiet. Not his voice though.

[physicalKinetics]

video starts at 1:10

[redracer091]

i love the part when craig starts laughing at the fact that james earl jones farms goats hahahah

[SuperAwesomeEpicGuy]

@moviegamemassacre your an idiot, craig furgason is amazing, one of the best late night show host EVER

[gatchAttk]

The people bitching about Ferg here need to chill out...Jones is 79...He's just a slower communicator at this point or doesn't catch on to certain jokes very fast. Stop with this "respect him like a god" attitude. It's ****ing annoying.

[sluggo06]

I want to buy those CDs where he reads the Bible

[tolarius]

@sluggo06 the resonance is amazing :)

[moviegamemassacre]

The guest is great,the host is a idiot

[MrJoaolayne]

Darth Vader and Musafa. What an awesome voice

[simion11]

The KING of Zamunda, bitches!!!

[somebodygothurt]

This guy doesn't seem very respectful of James Earl Jones. He almost seems that he's mocking him

[TRANNSVESTITEPONY]

@somebodygothurt how

[inrwizards]

@somebodygothurt this guy? this guy's craig ferguson. sorry, i just dont know how u could come across this without knowing craig. i didnt know james earl jones had fans that went on youtube looking around for interviews with him. craigs show, much like david letterman particularly in the 80s, is an anti talk show meaning he doesnt kiss celebrirty ass. keep that in mind next time ure looking for an interview with one of ur fave celebrities.

[SephJoey]

i wish that scottish prick would shut up and let Jones talk. He's trying to say interesting meaningful things, and bloody haggisboy keeps taking the piss for cheap laughs.

Not. funny.

[TMusic5]

@SephJoey Completely and totally agree. Someone like this wanker shouldn't have someone as refined and intelligent as James Earl Jones on his show.

[rockndude87]

If they ever do a biblical movie and God has lines in the script, James Earl Jones should do His voice!!!

[icarusdescending881]

This is a good demonstration of where our culture has gone. No wonder, if people watch this bumbling idiot before going to bed. Ferguson has no idea of the quality of human being he's with, and he has no idea how to treat anyone or anything with dignity and respect and a bit of honor. What a silly, sorry little pecker. Pathetic. And sadly, apparently, if you watch him you must be like him. There's more value in watching James Earl Jones count to ten. Fuck off Ferguson.

[dvkevin]

@icarusdescending881 ... why would you even bother watching AND commenting this.. ?

[Gaffapediahus]

They would...FREAKOUT

[blueprophet9]

JEJ was a ranger.

[SidNightWalker]

Acting God...Scottish God...good stuff.

[charlieiscool1000]

um isnt he a scottish traitor coz he always talks badly about the country and always says how hes glad he left lol

[ColdCaseSweetHeart]

You know his voice its the voice i'd imagine god to have. Its so Godly lol, i cant explain what i mean :P x

[westhoff0407]

Everyone calm down! This is Craig's style, and many much prefer it. No cue cards, just let the conversation flow.

And his guests LOVE it! James was very into the interview. Look at his reaction to the goat story, the crazy outburst! lol I love this interview. JEJ was cracking up...

[jerryflack4eva]

he was in the army, cool. probly scared the crao out of everyone

[edpjunior]

Jesus fucking Christ, I can't believe they talked about goats and shoveling snow. A TV host is supposed to steer the damn conversation toward important topics, so what the fuck was this guy doing? What the hell was up with all those uncomfortable silences during the interview? The bastard was wasting interview time with a legend like James Earl Jones making jokes about goats?! Didn't even do his homework regarding Jones' past works! What the fuck?! Whose dick is he sucking to keep his job?

[tincanspaceman]

@edpjunior  That's Craig Ferguson's humor...

[stonecoldvid]

All Hail Lord Vader!!

[fullback292]

What... the... fuck....

Of all the people to interview James Earl fucking Jones we have this guy? God damn goats?!?!?!? Are you fucking kiding me? James Earl Jones is an epic actor and we have Craig Ferguson talking out his ass to him. Unbefuckinglievable.

[aaron19840904]

@fullback292 i totally agree

[alhambramoors89]

he did the voice of mufasa in the lion king :)

[Shrapnelhead]

he kicked ass in conan and the lion king

[Othras]

mmm, his voice is audible chocolate.

[hunterwoot1]

This was surprisingly funny :D

[Stull92]

man now that is the one person i wanna smoke a blunt with

[pepemapache]

Mr. Jones. You are simply amazing and a Gentleman. My respects to you!

[OtterpopSlaughterMop]

This is the reason why Craig should be in a top night position (no joke intended). He's so down to earth he makes just about any interview work and comes off very sincere. Neither Leno or Letterman can do that.  They tend to come off as snobs or they just can't make it work period.

And James Earl Jones is amazing. I think he's the only cast member from Dr. Strangelove who is still acting. Max respect!

[xUberxHaxx]

Favorite movies as a kid: Star Wars and The Lion King. Coincidence? I think not...

[herogna]

Darth Vader, Mufasa and the Pressident in C&C Tiberium Sun!!!

[Narusayshi]

oh my god i love him! i want to meet him so so so bad!!!

[JIHOJIJO]

MUFASA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MeIsArtTickYouLet]

is he very thin

[gesf25]

The female goat joke was AWESOME!

[jazzythegreatest]

the force is strong with James Earl Jones, don't make him destroy you.

[mattman2900]

the Academy needs to give this guy a lifetime achievement award. I find it a little disheartening that his peers (SAG awards) gave him one, but Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have not realized, or at least not recognized the need to give this guy the LTA award. Give it to him NOW while we can hear him give a speech about the award. He is a true legend and he deserves this.

The man is a class act and a great mentor.

[InoXShika22]

People always say how his voice is scary or intimidating, but I find it rather soothing.

[BlasphemousPothead]

WOMEN: Do you prefer deeper voices in men?

[BGSoccerMagic]

@BlasphemousPothead I think they prefer more when it goes deeper.

[SableMelody]

@BlasphemousPothead decidedly yes

[dragonxanimation]

@SableMelody damn i sound like mickey mouse lol

[clovelywindheaven]

@BlasphemousPothead they do..and deeper voices usually means men are developed in the penile area :)

i.e david beckham prolly has a small fucking dick

[RetroJenny]

@BlasphemousPothead Yes. Guys with high pitched voices sound too much like women.

[heyitsaudreyxox]

@BlasphemousPothead Hell yes!

[BuddhaMaster84]

@BlasphemousPothead yeah a deep man voice rumble makes your vagina crumble

[lucienspinsrightrnd]

he actually sounds like darth vader normally, cripes he prob scared the bajeesus out of his kids before bedtime

[TOshow1]

I want what he's on

[skateurself]

guys kind of a dick.. hes like the most famous things youve ever done in your life and your not even the picture.. i think james earl jones got mad...

dude who cares.. everyone knows james earl jones for his powerfull voice.. if i was known for my powerfull voice i would love it

[skateurself]

hes already almost 80 :(

[Stevethebastard]

its darth vader

[Deokishisu]

James Earl Jones is the bomb!

[BenjaminWirtz]

I remember when I first saw this I thought that James Earl Jones had gone senile.

[efilnikufesin13]

field of dreams. 'nuff said.

[King689]

I saw at Wal Mart a few months back, they had the whole Bible on cd, being read by James Earl Jones, no joke!

[BenjaminWirtz]

@King689

I could see James Earl Jones as the voice of God, or hear rather.

[MikaelLV]

DARTH VADER <3

[NathanBForrest1776]

this man's voice is immortal , few human can have that said about them

[Ikimono]

looked like a couple of times he really got upset, but he put forth a good hand. Such an earnest and respectable man.

[refae88]

i like how at 1:13 he tears up his cue card (i think that's what they're "woo"ing right??)

[Eurafrican]

lol am going to see this legend at the novello theatre in west london tonite- can't wait

[AmbitionHCD]

This was posted on my birthday =D

Not that anyone cares, just had to mention it.

[creaturebotman]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I Care

:-)

[dunemoonbeam]

lets celebrate a exact moment the earth is positioned once a year when u were born thats alll a birthday is

[creaturebotman]

Huh?

Well I'll be damn...

All this time I was thinking birthdays were a celebration of surviving life one more year.

[MarceloSkywalker09]

You sound like Sheldon Cooper

[JubalCalif]

Fascinating footage. I wonder if James Earl Jones is related to fellow actor Tommy Lee Jones. And it's intriguing how Craig Ferguson sometimes "y'all". Maybe he's from Southern Scotland.

[sygmatik]

"Do you smoke marijuana?"

hahaha!!!!

[RotaHeaven]

goats.... pretty random to talk about ha?

i cant get over his voice its just so unique!.

[prettyadmirere]

bahaha

[rocky906]

I would love to see James Earl Jones in the Darth Vader outfit!

[eedobaba7726]

You know he's never worn it before? Darth was played physically by another guy.

[canadianmaple09]

I'm sure at some point at the end of the day when filming was done he went to the costume guy and said "Hey, could I just try it on, just see what it's like" and then proceeded to act out his lines in the suit.

[TimiHendrix195]

@eedobaba7726 shhh you will give the game away lol

[VGRetro]

@eedobaba7726 David Prowse to be precice.

[prinny081]

@eedobaba7726 uh.. yeah.. im pretty sure thats obvious to most people

[hellomotobleh]

@eedobaba7726 i didnt know that. seriously i didnt know that. seriously

[THEMOCKMAN]

@eedobaba7726 obviously james earl jones is fat as fuck

[yirotogi]

@THEMOCKMAN But was he always?

[mike6413]

helped another one Craig's guests-that he was incredibally respective to-Archbishop Desmund Tutu in apartheid South Africa. The man's done alot. Just saying I expected Craig to be more like he was to Archbishop Tutu with JEJ.

[mike6413]

I'm a huge fan of Craig and I know he's just being him but I just would've thought he'd be more respectable. JEJ was in college, dropped out to serve in the Korean War, went to INFANTRY school, became Top Ranger after 'getting his Tab', then went to acting everything from Othello to Mufasa. Dealt with everything from Civil Rights, Vietnam,

[doogrisa]

i loved james in the movie "conan the barbarian".

[Chrisdrumz]

"Where is the EYE of the serpent?"

[piromaniac9999]

He was great.

He does good in anything though

[DMWolFGurL]

He has the sexiest voice of any person in the world.

[tubreeze]

He's Mufasa!?!! Cool! I was totally in love with his voice when I watched The Lion King as a kid. And now he's going to guest star on my favorite TV drama House MD!! This is so exciting!

[DoctorNumLuck]

he also did darth vadar's voice

[TMusic5]

@tubreeze He was SO amazing on House. Favorite episode.

[elseachay06]

hahaha when they were randomly yelling while pretending to be goats i was cracking up !!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS !?!?!?!? LMFAO

[elseachay06]

"Remember who you are..." this quote is from the lion king and even tho I was only 4 when the movie came out, I got that message very clear. It is very important to follow that advice in my life now because there is nothing more important than to be you and to be true to yourself. I know that it's a kids movie and stuff, but it had a positive effect on who I am now as an adult. Great movie, great actor.

[gunthaarz]

terrible interviewer.. why doesn't he let an old man finish his stories. we dont need his help, we dont want to hear him joking, we want to hear the interviewee. I thought that was the point of interviewing someone, but hey, maybe its just me...

[1qewretry]

i know what you mean. Major missed opportunity.

[arya2005]

MUFASA

[DirtyBirds22]

Mufasa!!! YAY!!

[hummelhuxley]

It's kind of weird, yet awesome, to hear Darth Vader laugh and crack jokes

[whatABIGstar]

dark vader is here ...:)

[Talgatha]

you fail.

[Kylebam08]

get it right noob

darth vader

you fail

[realchris1]

are you kidding?! Mufasa! I think even though there are more gay ass star wars movies The Lion King rules every movie out there...best movie ever!

[LibertarianViewer]

darth, not "Dark"

[lordpretu]

DARK? U BLACK!

[RollandB]

Simba's dad? Like who cares! He's Darth Motherfucking Vader!

[zvirgo]

love his voice..love mufassa!!

[meibymeiby]

VADER!

[ramzahnY]

Thank you. Thank you very much for uploading this.

[Ejuht]

I jusss wanna hug Mufasa.

[Khazanah]

nice too see that he mention my fav animation.. the lion king :)

[sakahowdah]

James Earl Jones painting his face white and playing a mime.

Can you even imagine..?

[darksnow07]

HAHHA!

"They would FREAK OUT!"

xD Oh, James Earl Jones :))

[pirateXprincessX9]

James Earl Jones + Craig Ferguson = awesome interview!

[classics77]

.. that would be cheating...

[girl43]

Gosh .. I could listen to him all day long ^^

[firebaby7]

put down yo' ganja its time to CHECK DA MAIL!

[NarutoiPodReviewer]

James Earl Jones is one of the coolest people in existence! i cant believe he was on the Late Late Show!

[bunce101]

@NarutoiPodReviewer cant believe he was awake at that time
