Russell Peters - Craig Ferguson Interview

[0501987653]

"Youtube buddy Youtube"....

[TotallyMay22]

ahh meee too!1

[CoolTrixs]

Thumbs up if you noticed Russel Peters wearing pink socks.

[THE122138]

you like my sanwich fuck you man make you on one

[jetsupers]

brown means poo hehehehe

[Licensetokill29]

Sorry Craig, u r not funny.

[DragonQ6r]

2:34 .. busted Craig with the Scottish accent (( thaaaousand ))

[tw1hart]

I feel like the whole audience was just a little afraid of what Russell was going to say. The whole point of his sketches are to get people over that fear of being offensive because if you just laugh at all the stereotypes, then you understand that it's not true. I was rather disappointed with this interview =S

[parsoumash]

"Who wants to marry a skank?" lol

[UNKNOWEN786]

his socks

[Kesam100]

How can he see me? :O

[2856948]

why the fuck is he wearing a pink sock

[Superketo]

go russell gooooooo hahahaha

[vacuum1234567]

Is he the David Letterman of Canucks? He needs to shed a few pounds....and be a little funny.

[nellie2581]

He has an unibrow!

[nellie2581]

That's great that he was on Craig Ferguson

[MrBrhoOoM]

When u have 2 funny people interviewing.. it's gunna get awkward.

[StarlightSweetie]

It was annoying how he kept on mentioning that Russell Peters is from Canada. Big Fucking Deal! Also, it was kind of awkward when he asked Russell if he wants to become an American citizen. No offense to Americans, but not everyone in the world wants to be an American citizen.

[downeybill]

@efaxing How does an idiot not even know how to spell idiot?

[efaxing]

How does this Scodish idot become American?

He is such a true hypocrite.

[Nitro1punky]

@efaxing wtf is an i-dot?

[zerox505]

@Nitro1punky i-dot? *imagines red dot on Indian head" oh you fucking racist :0!!

[efaxing]

How does this Scodish idot become American?

[yalmuawad]

WTF!!! He sees me!!!

[fsem10]

u cant see me through all that smoke

[TemperatureSniping]

drown the witch!

....

[virgokp]

i am from Pakistan... and im a big fan of Russell

[TeroberDotCom]

@virgokp from this clip u can see russel is also huge fan of pakistan lolz

[cetnickiponos]

Furgeson feels threatened by Russell that's why he has to hates on Canadians so much!

[StarlightSweetie]

@cetnickiponos I agree.

[hash1212121212]

Craig Ferguson did a horrible job here lol.

[adronos]

does anyone think that the stuff craig does in front of the camera at the begginng of every interview is annoying?

[ihatehistory]

OMFG THE HOST IS A FUCKING DUMBASS!!!!! MAJOR LEAGUE MORON!! when russel said i was at the same hotel a month before the explosions the host was like u wer there before or after? LMFAOOO as if the hotel wud be there after the explosion!!! hahahahahahhaha

[conradsz]

@ihatehistory he said "shootings" not "explosion". The hotel is still there, look it up.

[huraboma]

Painful to see The mighty RP tamed on TV

[DeeJayKush]

is he wearing pink socks? lol

[maximus9401]

bit awkward

[shaktimaan09]

@Thrishla that's true ..... may be they cancelled each other.

[bouelf]

10 Lithuanians watched this clip.

[ljk1957]

Russell Peters is funny if you are Canadian he captures all the different aspects of growing up in a Multicultural society.

We went to see him live but my favorite shows of his are the early ones on Comedy network when he was starting out.

[stx74627]

in Pakistan, im watching you Mr Ferguson

[andrewVeto]

it's funny how he mentions the HD quality makes him look brown, but since this video isn't HD he doesnt really look brown

[summer6999]

Thumbs up for the pink socks :D

[TheNutsproduction]

omfg his comedy is funny, his face is funny, his accent is funny, whats not to like about him!

[pellow22222]

are those pink socks

[hiddeninja]

what an awkward interview..



[oolilfishyoo]

@hiddeninja exactly what i was gunna say. a bit awky indeed. i think cuz they're kinda too similar in ways. almost similar humor. so its like they feel they gotta compete or somethin, i duno but definitely a bit awky.

[Neemrahs21]

I hate that about craig ferguson, funny but he can be so racist !! You can be funny w/o being racist

[spacecowboy5000]

@Neemrahs21 Everyone is racist. And I mean everyone! I learned this from long experience. My corner store is owned by Morrocans - very nice and polite. A lot of times they speak in their native tongue, which is cool. A Morrocan friend I work with taught be a dozen words in Morrocan and it opened up a whole world. Those dudes at the store say the most disgusting, racist stuff about whites. Everyone is racist. In that light a comedian being racist is funny.

[leevan50rrie]

He should have tried imitating Ferguson. :D

[oolilfishyoo]

@leevan50rrie i was thinkin that too at the beginning, thought he was gunna at least comment/compliment his accent n mess wit him a bit. =/

[skoconut1]

nice socks Russell......

[andretti06]

This felt awkward...

[tabzist]

lmaoo this show is big in paksitan FYI !

[TheHeshmeister]

FUCK HE SEES ME

[soulwrappin]

kinda bland comapred to others...i mean its russel peters and craig ferguson, man.

[edenolink]

i'm lithuanian. so cool, he knows us!:]]

[dendara100]

oh god...two of the funniest people ...

[loginder100]

I love dis vid

[BasedOnHope]

the audience is soooo dead...........

[Jumper788291TL]

Russells the Best!

[AllThingsDesi]

omg @ his socks lmboooo

[curtcurtcurtis1982]

craig ferguson has no idea how good this guy is

[bevz2nikki]

@curtcurtcurtis1982 lol thts just humor they have worked together several times at just for laughs in montreal and toronto also they are friends

[charlieiscool1000]

LOL so true yet funny how he knew this interview would get around on youtube

[enteradj]

Talks starts @ 1:00

[TheRidGrid]

Craig's a racist bastard. . . u can tell. . . go sucka dick.

[Jake91S]

@TheRidGrid Shut the fuck up you moronic cunt.

[TheRidGrid]

@Jake91S Good one bro. . .

[djthebest1234]

he is wearing pink socks!!!!!!!

[LoveAmatista]

Craig Ferguson is doped up

[TheAceXtube]

I ACTUALLY THAT HE WAS SPEAKIN TO ME, HAHAHA IN THE BEGINNING

[Dionn91]

what the fuck is the damn host doing at the beginning?

[NumNums26]

This interview felt a bit awkward...he should go on Kimmel...Kimmel would have done a better job! Agree People?

[charmingveronica]

I'm Latvian. I can assure you Latvian people have no sense of humor whatsoever.

[TheSpiceify]

@casbakebab dude go stick some seaweed up you mothers pussy and make some god damn spinach soup out of it you fruit flavored fag

[LoveAmatista]

@TheSpiceify

BAHA! Never heard that before! lol

[TejasM14]

It isn't an awkward interview but it isn't as flow-ie as usual. It is because Craig didn't follow it up well, Russell was entirely relaxed.

[DelbyC]

@TejasM14

Yeah i agree, it wasn't really awkward, however the interview was not as seemingly fluid as it usually is. Craig was obviously restricted in the things he could say, as to not appear racist, and such a cool guy like Ferguson, I fucking highly doubt that he is.

[Micklol]

awkward ~

craig probably wont have him back ...

[habs4life9]

search "russell peters linguistics" on youtube and my comments on this video are the first to come up. i am the prevailing authority on exposing russell peters for his linguistic inaccuracy. he should fucking study linguistics and know a bit about it if it's such a big part of his act.

[TheRidGrid]

@habs4life9 niggah stfu nd stop bein a critic.

[headphonic8]

Am I the only one who didn't think it was as terrible as everyone was making it out to be? It was entertaining and amusing to see two of my favorite comics converse, even if it wasn't drop-dead hilarious.

[nooyawkfun]

Very bad chemistry here. It's unfortunate. Alone, they're brilliant. Russell's hilarious on the stage doing his ethnic humor.

[casbakebab]

Okay, the Emporer wears no clothes! -Seriously, Craig Ferguson is NOT funny; I've tried to give the guy a chance (did anyone see his interview with Larry David?) but he is so cringe-worthily bad, that I feel really awkward and embarrassed for him. The whole 'I'm gonna tear up the cards coz I'm so ZANY and unpredictable' routine is, ironically, predictable and contrived. Use a script at least. Please!

[solisepsa]

Saw Craig during a USO tour he did! He is an Awesome American!!

[ghuvleom]

OI! im in pakistan, and watching this on youtube! not cool!

:P

thought seriously, what happened at the Taj/Oberoi was a tragedy. people who do things like that don't represent us in any sense. for real.

[srinivasreddymrec]

@ghuvleom ..I understand bro let the Good fight the Bad..............Its time to get all the good in this world gets united and fuck all the terrrorists !!!

[lonewolf604]

huge fan of craig but he seemed a bit tense here

[uiluj13]

OH MY GOD. he is brown O_O

[jaggededge213]

so high right now..

[Rijobrata]

@sakarbhusal mumbai attack took place in Oberoi also.... bt the impact was more in Taj.. ..n taj also is much famous than oberoi... thats y most of the people don rember bout oberoi...

[sakarbhusal]

Mumbai attack actually took place at the Taj Hotel ...... not Oberoi .. !!

[ashwinmusafir]

@sakarbhusal he din say that it took place @ the oberoi.. he just mentioned that he stayed there.. duh.

[doyouhavemybrains]

@sakarbhusal They ALSO attacked Oberoi, buddy.

[spiros11386]

this is interview is...akward

[misfitsg17]

@spiros11386 There is no script!

[dancebaby808]

Bizarre interview. Craig Ferguson looks really uncomfortable, and doesn't seem to know how to react to Russell.

[agger12343]

Russel peters = fat tard!

[hydebleach]

I clicked just to see russel

[oper25]

@hydebleach why else would anyone click this video?

[psspeed]

@oper25 some may do it for ferguson

[jerryhello100]

@hydebleach Craig is pretty funny too though, hilarious interviewer. 

[hydebleach]

@jerryhello100 yep he's good too =]

[tatianaali93]

Am I the only one who thinks that Russell Peters is completely not funny?

[vigneshnatarajan007]

@tatianaali93 Yes you are. He is freaking hilarious....

[xydex99]

@tatianaali93 I guess so..

[anime10lover]

@tatianaali93 yup

[Atripple]

@tatianaali93 yep you are

[Snip3rKills]

Youtube Buddy Youtube..

[rishabhpb]

yes, it is awkward... because it is a self-declared theme of the show! craig ferguson is whatever he wants to be. this episode is from last year, and since then it has gotten way funnier since craigyferg cares a lot less about being politically incorrect

[lushiousification]

I'm confused by people thinking this is an extremely awkward interview. It's not as good as say Gerard Butler on Craig's show, but its still a good interview. It's hard for Craig to have a bad show

[simion11]

Its disappointing when you think its Russel Peters. One of the funniest stand ups there is.

[arjusingshit]

shit absolute shit

[duaslisboetas]

Russell Peters demonstrated he is far smarter, confident comedian...

Before I thought Craig was ok but in this interview he really lacked depth, leaning to the old

'america the best' mentality. Duh!

[qwerty3623]

Russell Peters should have his own Talk show.

[sawin89scouser]

@qwerty3623 Who dares to be invited...and to be mocked? lol

[fuckinwok]

The interviewers a NOB! He honestly think he's funnier then Russell. Psst. -_-

[ManoloRafael]

is it just me, or this interview isn't that funny! It's fairly awkward! Especially, between 7:07 to 7:15 , its lke thereis nothing to say! :)

[booblebumthumb]

We don't get VH1 either. Give us VH1 America, I want to watch Bret Michaels' reality shows.

[akuma4u]

this is the best non scripted interview ive ever seen! way better than stupid dave letterman or any other talk show!

[Canooner5]

STAY CANADIAN!!!

[persiantech]

what u americans do with out canadian comedians :D

[lexevo]

@persiantech we would listen to black comedians that talk about crime, gangs, ebonics, ghettos, and drugs...you know all the things tha make U.S. disgusting. Just like our music. At least we have an awesome president. haha, ha...ha nope not funny

[paukva]

After reviewing some of the comments on here I'm blown away how ridiculous some people get. One guy keeps trying to prove this interview wasn't funny based on linguistics??? Now I've heard it all. To try to define humour with such a narrow perspective and ignore the many other subjective factors involved is downright foolish and arrogant. I see he's a Habs fan. Perhaps, that explains his arrogance...LOL. Relax Habs fans, it's just a joke so take a deep breath and say "Lapierre sucks"...lol.

[paukva]

Why do people argue about humour? It's all a question of taste. I myself think Ferguson is very witty, but nobody can be on their game every night for every interview.The Peters interview was a little awkward, but there was still some good exchanges.The thing I really like about Craig is he tries to be spontaneous even though he repeats some of same material. Regardless, you get the feeling he's more natural and less scripted than other late night hosts which is quite refreshing nowadays.

[daarkmatter]

Whats wrong with Craig...He made the whole interview looks so awkward...

[koreancanadian]

looooooooooooooove both of them:)

[wegotas]

Does he makes any Lithuanian or Latvian jokes?

[akropiss]

@wegotas does anybody?

[wegotas]

@akropiss are you jew too answer question by question?

[demiourgoslikes69]

0:39 - 0:40 .....Mr. Bean like expression

[bluewind12345]

Craig Ferguson is so annoying & ridiculous

F in appearance, F in accent, F in interviewing => Craig Ferguson = looooser

[meowcats210]

Damn, this crowd sucks

[J33w]

craig ferguson isn't that funny or interesting...

[YashRamisetty]

@J33w who is funny and/or interesting?

jay leno? letterman?

[J33w]

@YashRamisetty I like letterman most, he makes good jokes and asks good questions.

[YashRamisetty]

@J33w

he has no energy tho. he is old and kinda boring at times. i do watch letterman but he recycles the jokes everytime. he used the same joke for like a week. you must be an old guy thats prolly why you like him. he has a script unlike ferguson. hes improvises. plus hes drunk so hes funnier lol

[munajjrochelle]

why does Craig Ferguson mention he's a U.S citizen on every one of his shows?

[SourExplosion]

@munajjrochelle

Because he's proud of it and it's sort of like a running joke.

[thecitizenme]

is he on high?

[KiwiCrisis]

The only one equal to Conan.

[Jessica0709]

[XxXM5BaLB0YXxX]

@Irongive haterzzzz , hes successful and ur not and i bet if u had his gift u would invest it as well in the us cuz now he is known and respected all over the world , and believe me for ur own good get ur ass from the couch and go do something for ur self

[gagothesith]

Each one is hilarious on his own (or with some other conversation partner), but there simply is no chemistry between them.

[turnpikesurfer]

He so much better than these fake comedians who make weird face and expect you to laugh. Russel is a the best because he can throw some unexpected surprises and make you laugh.. Amazing! God bless him..

[DRoooPHILTH]

@turnpikesurfer clearly an answer coming from an indian. Haha, so predictable.

[millionairman]

What a fucking stupid interview by Craig !

Russell should have ripped into him !!

[0311blitzkrieg]

who wants to marry a skank, funny as hell

[CreativeProfiteer98]

They're both pretty funny guys, but this interview was a bit flat.

[skinny122]

Mexicans in America, the mexicans in Canada are Indians! Rofl! It's true because I am Indian!

[ReggaeZal]

he has a big nose, i just notice it lol.

[The17seconds]

oh lithuanians do have computers and yeah i am watching right now ::D

[larevolution27]

"who wants to marry a skank!" lol

[mnypwrrspkt]

"ok im good" lol

[royalwww]

the interview is tat!

[pastafarian37]

Craig: "It's a big fat hot dog".

Russell: "You leave me out of this".

hahahahaha

[jungshin87]

rofl he really does tear up "note cards" before each interview.

[hardassteel]

Craig Ferguson is funny, but his interviewing skills are horrible.

[dhruv494]

you must be retarded. He's considered having the best late nite interviewer and monologue because he doesn't use a script for either. He's natural, and improvises both. unlike other hosts that have scripts made for them for pretty much the whole show.

[hardassteel]

The standard that you use to determine somebody's intelligence is very poor. I stated my opinion on a comedian and you refuted it. If you were going to refute the validity of a fact, then you would be thinking logically. BUT, you are refuting an "opinion," which is completely illogical.

[habs4life9]

what about his whole bit about "you can tell where in the world somebody is from by the way they speak english." what he actually means is that you can tell somebody's native language by the way they speak english. well that's fucking obvious, and it's been obvious to phonologists for years.

[bennyagp]

@dhruv494 better than letterman? this guy sucks.. i like letterman better!

[FroobRadio]

@bennyagp Then you must have no sense of humor.

[bennyagp]

@FroobRadio crazy ppl make ppl laugh too.. bt the intelligent does it better. this one is the first case.

[kazuyafan906]

@dhruv494 yeah and also when ever the interview starts he like rips up probably his script card or whatever and that goes to show u that craig asks questions that he feels like asking.

[habs4life9]

i am serious people, knowledge of linguistics makes russell peters a lot less funny. russell is taking advantage of the fact that the majority of the world does not know shit about linguistics and so they find his bullshit funny. study linguistics people, you'll be more intelligent people and you'll know how pathetic peters really is, his jokes are not even jokes, they are trivial linguistic by-products of speaking a second language.
