Thanks for posting this - I watched his early stand up in Glasgow fifteen years ago. Thought he was hilarious then too.

[TVsCraigFerguson]

you're quite welcome

Wow! You saw his stand up 15 years ago?! That must have been just before he moved to the US.

[luckysgreat]

thank you so much for this video!

he's a great person and wonderful host. love the craig!

[TVsCraigFerguson]

Indeed!

You're quite welcome

[superbedst]

I have the deepest respect for Craig Ferguson.

eisner is a douche bag, craig is the best ever!

[FandPrulethesky]

My favourite thing to watch is chat-shows. Kimmel/Fallon/Letterman/Conan good

But for me Craig is King. Not only is he funny as hell but he's a really good interviewer. He always treats the guests like old friends.

But it's more than that. When Craig speaks you feel like he's speaking to you. Obviously he's not but he has this great way of balancing humour along with intelligence and vulnerability. That is why for me he's not just a great host but a great man.

Man, Craig is either 1. Losing his Scottish Accent or 2. Hiding it when he does his show.

[TheBrainFlow]

I just started watching this:

Ok, first: What a dick! He said Craig can do whatever he wants because no one watches it with a straight face! *shakes fist*

Second: When Craig said " I don't know if I want to do this for another 5 years" I immediately looked at the date of the interview! :D Aw... his accent... <3

OH MY GOD, did this guy just said he thought Craig did his "father" monologue as a stunt to gain compassion??????? How Craig didn't walk out on that... I would. He has such class.

If by going to 11:30, Craig has to change how he handles the show, he doesn't need to go to 11:30.

Michael Eisner is right, Craig has gotten better every night overtime since he began hosting The Late Late Show 5 years ago. His monologue is funny and so are his guest. He made The Late Late Show very cool. I did not feel that way about Kilborn. Ferguson is a great comic and his voice IS unique. His role models are Mr. Letterman and Mr. Regis as he has said. Craig is a great talk show host and I look forward to seeing what is next for him.

@darkdaysabound could not agree more

[darkdaysabound]

I actually am really enjoying this interview and find the interviewer to be quite concise and respectful. It is obvious that he is dubious over craigs attitude towards the letterman spot but I suppose as part of the industry he would be very focused on celebrities career advancement.

[lmihay]

Craig is the man.

@Marela9 me2. eisner obviously doesn't get craig's draw.
