Conan O'brien steals a joke from Craig Ferguson....

[Tunal3rother]

Jp and the Fergz are the kings of talk shows

[speebyda]

It wasn't stolen from Craig. You know how I know? IT WASN'T FUNNY.

[TourettesGuyAdox]

This was a joke stolen originally from Letterman, but Craig told it best.

[valorproductions19]

craig is so underated

[naruxsakufan]

what joke?

[daspoon456]

what the hell did he even say? 

[playthecard22]

Yeah, I think everyone says that.

[Boj6987]

There's also the idea that all late night talks shows use that joke...just saying!

[pooleroes]

doesn't sounds like he's been saying for that long, more merits to CRaig I'd say! coz he means it! LOL

[DROCTAGONAP]

its so bad it should be counted as stolen when this is used by this guy, he sounds like an utter nerd with this joke

[bgoodrick]

Wait... there was a joke?

[MaisyDaisy24]

This clip is proof that Conan is no standup comedian. He can't deliver a joke. Craig makes it funny every time.

[cookiedoughinthezone]

whatever, craig is way funnier either way

[winterstellar]

Old joke, neither of them thought of it themselves

[tastysandwhich]

Not an original joke

[christinedeal]

383 people are jealous that they aren't a part of the Robot Skeleton Army.

[Supermassively]

@christinedeal No. Shut the fuck up.

[christinedeal]

@Supermassively You're one of those people.

It's cool though, no hard feelings. Everyone has different tastes.

[Supermassively]

@christinedeal You mean one of those people who have a real sense of humor, and who don't think it's funny, witty, or creative to spam the same retarded fucking "THIS NUMBER OF PPL ARE SILLY CUZ DEY DISLIKE DIS VIDEO" bullshit on every fucking video on this entire website? If so, then yes... I am one of those people. Try some originality.

[christinedeal]

@Supermassively don't bother getting in such a huff. I figured you were just a pissy Conan fan. I did it one time on one video, not that anybody has to validate anything they do on YouTube.

[AtomicBl453]

Criag says it differently and doesn't have a weird looking hairdo and weird laugh..

[BigTrollShaman]

no disrespect to the conan fans but I just think Craig just sounds more natural and has more "swagger" than most TV show hosts. 

[Supermassively]

@BigTrollShaman So true. Craig is so genuine and hilarious. None of the others can compare.

[NEWENGLANDER3278]

@thi711 is Conan O'brien's wife or that person has mental issues.

[goodtobeborn]

conan is really creapy!!

[alexrogers411]

They should of just left Conan where he was. It made no sense to move him.

[ceerivera]

I want to see Craig say the same so-called "joke"

[YeLlPr]

Neither Craig nor Conan came up with the joke, if you insist on blaming someone pin it on their writers.

[kbp5520]

even if he did say the same joke as another late night host, the writers would be to blame. conan isnt a stand up comedian hes a talk show host

[Volcanic9]

you're supposed to provide an example 

[dan11009]

every host in the world uses this joke ive seen richard hammond from top gear use it

[DeaderNBetter]

holy crap i still dont get it

[Dreamerx47]

this is the oldest joke in the universe

[LaNdOfScReW]

conan has ben doin dat joke way b4 craig got on d air...

[hempartist420]

this doesn't really show up on my "give a fuck" meter

[hempartist420]

this does really show up on my "give a fuck" meter

[danbrown4life]

lets not rip on jay, craig, fallon, kimmel, daly, or letterman! They're just talk show hosts! not politicians :P

[FtRapture]

Conan has been doing that joke before Craig was even on the air, so it would have to be the other way around.

[tastysandwhich]

Yeah... that's not an original joke I'd associate to either of them

[kagomeshuko]

You know, they aren't TAPED at the same time. They are taped in the afternoons. They then run them at late night.

[srbrand04]

I love Conan but Craig is my favorite....

[MarquisWho]

I'm 26 I've been watching conan since I was in the 5th grade and he's been telling that joke since then.

[Sigfrid711]

Craig has more natural talent that all these other guys combined.

[adronias]

I don't get it. How is this even remotely in the ball park of funny? If this is his material no wonder he gets shitty ratings.

[LavaHotMan]

@adronias This is 13 SECONDS of his act, he told one warm up joke that he ALWAYS tells. This is in no way a large enough sampling to say he's unfunny.

[SupportAlexJones]

JAY LENO SUCKS

TEAM COCO FTW!!!

[LoveThatGinger4evers]

actually if you did you fucking research, you'd realized that craig calls himself the "scottish conan" because he jacks hella shit from him. ie. talking to the producer, making fun of th budget, making fun of the fake window, making fun of his crappy rating, etc. so don't even try to act like craig is very original, cause he's not

[qqqqqaaaaasssss]

@LoveThatGinger4evers who cares if craig isn't very original? he's still a 1000 times funnier than Conan.

[iloveravenrock]

@qqqqqaaaaasssss not original? What other talk show host does puppets?

[lemonarcade]

These Late Night talk shows have writers that are always making fun of stuff in the news because it is topical and they know that everyone will know what they are talking about. South Park satires this perfectly when EVERY late night show tells their Fish Sticks/Dicks joke

[adtrthebest16]

yeah, conan's been saying that from before craig ferguson came on, good try though.

[PremaritalSex1]

Conan had been saying things like that before craig was even mr. wick.. This is dumb and the poster should be dragged behind a truck-eh.

[poops1]

fuck taking a college class, the dude needs to stop eating glue

[zipple41]

Conan's been doing that joke for years, way before Ferguson ever even had a late night show.

[TobagoGas]

Lol are you serious? That's one of Conan's newer episodes and he's been saying that for years. Hilarious.

[cardinals2224]

Craig Ferguson is way better and way more funny than Conan and Fallon. You never know what he is going to do because he doesn't use a traditional script like the other late night shows

[lolecule]

@cardinals2224 You have to be intelligent, clever, quick, and just plain funny for that to actually work. No script doesn't equal funny...Craig is just painful to watch. It's dull human that takes no intelligence or grasp of irony to process.

[maddhattertime]

I think of all the talk show hosts' monologues, Craig's is the only one I find genuinely funny. As for the rest of his show...

[rob11rod]

@maddhattertime Couldn't agree more. That's because Craig's been doing standups since he was still in Glasgow

[wasdwasdedsf]

@lolecule

lol

[Coastergeekperson04]

Neither does Conan. His cue cards are essentially just keywords; he actually has to tell the joke himself.

[Coastergeekperson04]

That statement supported Conan, smart ones.

[geetarzan69]

Haha you people are WHACKED!

[lincolnweather]

Hay Conan is a stealler thats way I dont wach him.

[Skwalihd]

@lincolnweather Go back to school and learn how to spell before you make any comments please. Conan is and will always be the best.

[lincolnweather]

Hay bich i'm in school i'm in 7th grade and I don't know how to spell a lot of words. PS fuck your Mom.

[Skwalihd]

@lincolnweather Even a 7th grader would know how to spell those words. You must be a redneck too.

[lincolnweather]

O what are you a teacher are teachers don't know the differnce between left and right there so stuped.

[A2Z83]

Why do people put down either of the geniuses of late night? you got TWO good things and you took it for granted.

[superfrek89]

he's been using that since 92.

fuck ferguson

[jc1033]

@superfrek89 Despite the fact that he's been on since '93!

[werby12]

coco didnt steal that... i dont even think that was a joke and ive watched craig ferginsoin or however u say hes name... well he steals jokes from anyone he can...

[xkelvin]

he's been using that before Craig was even on TV.

[Fatmanmi]

Craig Ferguson FTW! >:P

[EricAquaholic27]

Who the fuck watchs Craig Ferguson anyways?

[Witherwings7]

Bite your tongue!

[shinnman1796]

go CO CO

[Faygo069]

lol I'm sure Conan thought the joke was super hilarious and had to use it himself. It really isn't much of a joke for someone to want to steal and use it himself.

[nagzul]

is it a joke? its just a funny statement.

People say "its hot in here" does that mean they stole the statement from each other?

[lightlord99]

craig faguson can lick my grundle cheese.

[h3rbsman]

craig sucks balls

[allenangels]

@h3rbsman no wonder chaig was destroying conan in the rating even though he was on a hour later...

[joshaf26]

i love both these guys, so i don't think conan stole anything

[sweetdreams540]

Conan made that joke before Craig even got a TV show, so FAIL.

[mykotron]

conan made it up

[agilio333]

Conan has been telling that joke for awhile since 98'

[minicrumpit]

@thi711 The title's referring to the "unless it's a rerun" bit. Craig uses that a ridiculous lot (which somehow makes it that much more amusing). Not really stealing; I think every Late Night gent has used that one on more than one occasion.

[thi711]

What the fuck is this video about again? I didn't see ANYWHERE that Conan stole a joke from lameass Ferguson. Get your fucking facts right dumbass.

[modechick101]

team craig and team conan ..i love both !!! :P

[InFaHazel]

I love these posts that have no meaning and the person just makes something up from nothing..

[aurias01]

IM PRETTY SURE CONAN INVENTED THAT JOKE ALONG WITH " we have a great show tonight unlike the other nights when i was just lying"

[yrureadingthisname]

Conan has been saying this for years.

lol good internet detective work you deserve a break... seriously take a break.

[birdsofbalt]

hhahahaha...this is something stewie from family guy would say

[flashfan2]

its one of conan's runing jokes hes been makeing that one since before 2005

[aurias01]

AWESOME

[DarkSwarm]

I want Jay Leno to leave the network and give Conan O'Brien what he rightfully deserves... but I wouldn't wish death on anyone. I'm not immature like that.

[thi711]

I absolutely agree with you. Jay Leno is such a fucking fake piece of shit. It makes me cringe where time I hear his fake laughs... DIE JAY LENO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FearOfTheFlesh]

@thi711 easy there

[ohwello]

@thi711 you want him to die? jesus dude, so do i.

[italkart24racer]

@thi711 Shut up. You know who's even more fake? Conan. There are facts to along with this.

[Longshore89]

@italkart24racer You're an idiot.

[italkart24racer]

@Longshore89 No I think you are for being a fan of him.

[tetrisclock]

I'll never understand why people prefer that ginger prick Conan over Leno. I guess some people are just born retarded.

[DifangDuana]

@tetrisclock

Maybe that is because they are not an old and wrinkly retard like you.

[jamesmanortiz]

@tetrisclock if you 're saying what you're saying, then you must have been born retarded.

[tetrisclock]

Conan O'Brien isn't funny. I've seen his show, and there's nothing funny about it. I'm sick and tired of you and all the other little Conan O'Brien fanboys worshiping him.

Letterman, Kimmel, Leno, Fallon. Every single one of them is leagues funnier than Conan.

[BlueLightSpecial90]

@tetrisclock Fallon is so horrible, at everything.

[tetrisclock]

I've seen his show once or twice and didn't think it was too bad.

[HelloImPsycho]

@tetrisclock You missed Ferguson!

[tetrisclock]

And I'm kicking myself for missing him! He's my favorite and always will be.

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

@tetrisclock well i love Conan, Leno's a drag, Fallons awesome! kimmel tries too hard and ferguson is amazing

[NightmareSnake]

@tetrisclock Jey Leno has never been funny.

[tetrisclock]

Every time I watch him, I laugh.

What I don't laugh at is Conan's aloof, smug, awkward "humor".

[NightmareSnake]

@tetrisclock You have that backwards, Leno is so smug and he tries too hard to get people to laugh at jokes that are so unfunny it's sad. Every time I watch him I wonder why he even tries anymore. Conan, however, is genuinely funny, fun to watch, amusing, and a really nice guy.

I swear it's guys like Leno that make me wish Johnny Carson were still alive.

[tetrisclock]

Jesus H. Christ. What subliminal messaging has Conan wrought upon you?

Conan is nothing more than Carrot Top with a hair cut and an Ivy League mentality without the intelligence.

I don't think Leno tries hard at all to get laughs. If that was the case I wouldn't think he was funny, but I do.

And what the hell do you know about Carson? You weren't alive when he was on the air, nor are you a product of that era, so don't pretend like your some 60 year old reminiscing about the good 'ol days.

[NightmareSnake]

@tetrisclock Why are we even arguing about this? Jay Leno is mediocre. The Situation at the Donald Trump roast was funnier than Jay Leno. And I've seen Johnny Carson, and he is something that will probably never be matched by talk-show hosts of this era. Get a brain.

[tetrisclock]

Sorry, but stating something like, "Jay Leno is mediocre" doesn't make it true. That's your opinion, and I think you're fanboy love of Conan has you left you delusional, especially if you think The Situation is funny.

[NightmareSnake]

@tetrisclock Th Situation isn't funny. He sucks. Hardcore. But he's still better than Leno. And I have no "Fanboy love" of Conan. I didn't even start watching him until his current show.

[tetrisclock]

No, I think you must be in love with Conan to be bashing Leno so hard. The only people that hate Leno as much as you do are the ones that are obsessed with Conan.

[NightmareSnake]

@tetrisclock ...and the only people who pretend to know more about me than I do are stalkers. Are you a stalker? You seem like one.

[mmasny]

@tetrisclock I don't think Leno is funny. If that were the case, I wouldn't think he tried hard to be, but I do.

[Supermassively]

@thi711 They're all fake and boring aside from Craig.

[ramruth]

Hmmm... Imo, it's not a joke, it's more of a comment. And in that way, it's not anyone's to steal, because anyone could say it.

That being said, Craig Ferguson delivers the line with a bit more panache, and pushes the "joke" element of it a bit better.

[ThwartedVillainy]

Conan and Craig are both true artists and class acts. They both have an intellectual nonsense style that is hard to find on TV these days. I love what theyve done with their shows. Unfortunately, Jay Leno has proved that an unfunny, greedy douche bag can win if he has the right friends in high places.

Fuck Jay Leno.

[aurias01]

TOTALLY AGREE

[DesQueJteVois]

I love Craig, I've always liked him better because of his improv style of comedy. and he DOES use this joke almost every night..... and I know that late night talk show hosts all watch each other, so he had to have seen it, but it's honestly a common enough thing to say. "stole" would definitely not be the right word. It was probably said first by Craig, but it's not trademarked by him by any means.

[Ependeon]

Conan has said that for years. Probably well before Ferguson had his show.

[krazydude34]

CONAN FOR LIFE!

[TheJosephPrice]

I dont see how he "Stole" that joke.

[n8thaninja]

You people actually watch Criag Fergision?wow.. stop that stop giveing him rateings..

[mykotron]

Conan is way better, no question

[dhruv494]

CRAIG FTW!

[krazydude34]

i love conan hes my hero.

where does it show him stealing a joke??

[dhruv494]

@krazydude34 the joke is practically on every ferguson episode

[wasdwasdedsf]

uhh

[stringdance3000]

CONAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[homeroribas]

I prefer Conan,his the best

[GilliamFan]

Craig all the way.

[DesQueJteVois]

they're funnier on different levels but I do prefer Craig.

I like the way he improvs, and just goes off into his own world and completely forgets what he's talking about. I like his segments better too

[anspaughnato]

i find craig annoying

[999ballzout]

conan and craig are too different to say whos funnier, for me in depends on what mood im in

[mineohno]

@999ballzout No, conan is funnier on every level.

[SuperSaiyanNaruto]

craig > Conan. Why? Because Conan doesn't make most of the material, his writers do. Craig Improvs it all. He's a fucking god.

Conan was brilliant back in Late Night, even if he didn't make all the stuff then. But now it seems he had to tone it down for 11:30, and Andy Richter is the most annoying piece of unfunny shit ever. Max was awesome.

[mineohno]

@SuperSaiyanNaruto I don't know why people are thumbing up this guys comment. Conan is the real God here.

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

That joke has probably been around as long as videotape, maybe as long as kinescope films!

So, they both stole it!

[Bloodshotbuddah]

How does conan steal a joke from craig when they are both on at the same time?......just saying

[shanurr]

Different days dumb-ass.

[squeege421]

Where does it say different days douche-bag?

[justkatil]

Oh come on! Conan as well as Craig have both been using that joke for forever now. And so has probably all the rest of the talk show hosts for that matter. Anyhoots, they both rock!

[terriblydecent]

whoever posted this video is a fucking moron..

[paganizonda89]

Craig is much better than Conan

[justinsgil185]

If you actualy think that you are a moron

[DudeHuge]

If ur a faggot he's better

[HisRoyalDudeliness]

Conan is infinitely better.

[kiwanukaz]

I dont think he stole it neccisarily, but craigs rerun jokes are way more entertaining.

Welcome to the *covers mouth* TODAYS DATE show! unless of course its a rerun in which case the real date will be edited in

[elliottbradshaw]

in your region

[SaSlaya]

i don't know if that joke was really stolen or if its just one of those things anybody would say in that situation. i wouldn't be worrying about joke stealing when we all know conan was the first to tell the audiences to stop applauding because it sounds fake and now craig's been doing it too. either way i switched from conan to craig a while ago and now i get to see both without conflict so who cares about any of this?

[FreakyCreeper]

That's not really a joke, it's a witty offhand comment. It probably just popped into his head right before he said it. I guarantee you Conan doesn't watch Craig Ferguson's program and has no clue that Mr. Ferguson has ever said that. On top of that, even if i was a joke, Conan doesn't write the jokes for his monologue and neither does Craig Ferguson.

[SaSlaya]

Craig's monologues come off the top of his head so no one is writing them for him. sure, they have meetings about topics for discussion but when they roll tape he justs wings it.

[FreakyCreeper]

I see, that's pretty awesome. I didn't know that. Craig Ferguson is cool and so is Conan, either way, I still don't think Conan purposely stole this line from Craig Ferguson.

[dhruv494]

nobody writes craigs monologues. Its improvised/ad-libbed. He's just told on a few things to talk about, and he just says it. He said so on Larry King Live.

[FreakyCreeper]

yeah if somebody already told me that, read the other comments

[dhruv494]

yur just sad that you got owned

[FreakyCreeper]

haha yeah these comments are really affecting me...i've been so distraught since you REinformed me that Craig adlibs his stuff.

No really, read the comment below my first one, someone already told me that lol

This random internet run-in is a prime example of the ignorance of this world. He obviously didn't read the comment made by SaSlaya. People are so insecure they can't even admit when they are wrong about the most irrelevent thing in the world. It's kind of funny and kind of sad...

[dhruv494]

i did read it...i just said it in a more proving and factual way then he did. stop being so passive agressive. yur not insulting anybody

[Chiabride]

Conan so did this joke poorly. It's not even funny when he did it.

[xmeleahx]

Geez, get a life! Everyone uses the rerun joke!

[jechucri]

Both Conan and Craig are really funny guys. I agree. This is lame.

[Malacki]

Despite the arguement over the alleged theft, I think we can all agree that Craig Ferguson is better anyway. Think about what Craig has to work with: no band, no licensed music, bad lighting, and no HD (up until recently, anyway)

[sweety3995]

lame

[flashfan2]

conans made those jokes since before andy left

[Iluveryanstiles]

geez i didnt even c how he stole it..im like the biggest craig freak in the world..or in my house...lol. wow he made a "rerun" joke ..cuz im pretty sure anyone can say that and its not really like a big joke..if conan started using puppets i would be like fuck he stole from craig. but its not something that major. and anyone who disagrees with me or is mad about somethin im saying go ahead and tell me cuz i dont give a fuck and this is my opinion. :)

[s7ightly4ltered]

im sorry who has the tonigh show oh yeah CONAN O'FUCKING BRIEN
