Agreed. Miss the authenticity.

💯

100% spot on. He reached through the TV screen, brought you in, and was always his truest self. His mix of integrity, transparency and respect for his audience is missed these days. I think Conan O'Brien came next closest towards reaching his benchmark.

You're not wrong

It was honestly criminal that he didn't get Dave's desk.

Sohaib who is it then?

Tom Snyder, Johnny Carson and Craig Ferguson were on a whole different level compared to everyone else.

Not just that YOU'VE ever seen. Simply EVER. Carson was great, but Craig took late night to a whole other level. His bizarre and joyous humour was unmatched as was his humanity. No other host has been the complete package like Craig.

Letterman was no fake either. I miss them both and I can't believe we are stuck with Jimmy Fallon.

Me as well. He was great!

I knew that's where he was going with it. Still didn't change the impact of how he said it.

That part at 8:21 rips me up --- Craig realizes his Mum and Pops are gone

8:10 That last bit was like a punch in the face with sadness. Craig has lifted me up with laughter so much in my life, and it absolutely killed me to see a moment where he was the one hurting. Love you Craig!

That was really hard to watch but to his credit he handled it masterfully. Said what he needed to say and carried on.

I know. I saw this when it aired. I don't know why I watched it again. That moment is so heart-wrenching, and now I'm crying.

he is greatfull. Lovely man!

I lost my father many years ago and just lost my Mother a few months ago. Its a very difficult thing knowing that you’re are indeed alone.

Rodney Lacy, I am so so sorry for you! I am Brazilian, and I see many people of my age - I'm 26 right now, fighting with their parents and stop talking to them because of politicians. Literally NOT TALKING TO THEM. And I look at my folks and I see how special they are. I have Borderline disorder and problems with alcohol because of it, and my parents never left. Parents are indeed the most important thing in life. But it's the cyrcle of life, I hope you have a family, and one day you will pass out, like me, and we will be the olds here.. that's how nature is... I'm sorry.

That hurt to watch. So real, so sad. When my mom died, it was hard, when my dad died a few years later, it was worse, because they were both gone, the end of a huge part of my life. Now my brother is gone as well, only my sister and I are left. Now that my wife and I are the parents, our grown sons are the center of our life, and we cherish our phone calls and visits with them. We are hoping to have grandkids soon. Love your wife, love your husband, love your children, your parents, your brothers and sisters. You won't have them forever.

I know it's been 7 years since your comment but seeing this for the first time, you voiced my feelings like I wanted to as well.

@Kim Smith it's been one day since your comment and I was fine too until the very end.

@@apex11177 Its been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.

@@erikralph It has been a week since your comment I was also fine till the end.

@@vincevdijk7430 it's been two hours since your comment and I as well was fine until the end 😢

Only child here that also happens to be adopted. My grandparents just passed and I can’t imagine losing my parents. I feel for you man. So sorry for your loss.

I lost both my parents at the age 19 within 6 months of each other. It was so hard. It's been 10 years now and it's still so hard. I've gotten married and had a kid and it kills me to know my child will never know her grandparents on either my side or her dad's side of the family. I come to KZfaq for laughs most days

@@bamamama-ws7kp I lost my mother when I was already a grown man, 25 yo. I am now 47. It does not get easier, but you find strength in those who love you, and those who share your path.

How is your father doing?

I am so sorry for your loss, and everyone in this thread’s losses. May they all rest in peace

It was also 6 years ago. If you watch his early shows it was much stronger back then.

Vyselink wow! you totally missed lukes pint didn't you?

skaface32 No. I was adding the fact that it was also 6 years ago, and accents tend to get lost over time. It was a supplementation of what he said, not a refutation.

Vyselink Also, he mentioned he had just got back from the funeral in Scotland... So he probably was back into the accent.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan shut the fuck up

I love him too, he is unic

@@jessica5497 he had his balls cut off?

Jessica unique

Hey Patty. It's been 3 years since you've embarked on your Craig binge ...so, are you a fan or no?

You know the tagline "It's not TV, it's HBO" ? Well, replace HBO with Craig.

Oscar A. Hep! Be nice now!But I see your point. I enjoy O'Brien. But Ferguson is somethin' else.

I love Conan, I just feel he's not as genuine and weird as he could be.

Oscar A. You're so right! Conan holds himself back. It shows.

Ferguson is definitely one of the best talk show hosts ever. he's certainly my favorite.

Oscar A. Craig is/was/always will be the most human of any host in any format ever. He talked to us like he was really in a little room with us personally, He was/is/always will be a mate. I'd drink with that man any day of the week.

Look up the eulogy he did for his dad. It's beautiful

Craig is the greatest late night show host, hands down. I can't stand the fake laughter of Fallon and Corden, and the rest have become too political. Thankfully we still have these YT clips to enjoy, but I really miss him.

I love Craig as well, but he most definitely had segments containing script. You can’t produce a show as you go along at random lol

Definitely Craig is no cry baby like Kimmel but he wants to carry this grief with dignity...

@@jojomakes he did have a few but his interviews with guest were not scripted at all

Mine passed in February, it never gets easier. All my love to you, my brother.

He's not from Skye though

Not the point david 😂

But he‘s right. Thats like when some American is sad saying: „Oh he‘s deep in Kansas“

The world needs more genuine people like him. There's not nearly enough

You were doing well until the superfluous God babble.

Matthew Singh-Dosanjh - That was entirely unnecessary. It's bad apples like you who give decent atheists a bad reputation.

Great Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one of a kind guide for learniing amazing eulogy speeches without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.

Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learniing amazing eulogy speeches minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam at very last got excellent results with it.

Wow. Never afraid to be a real person. This is almost life philosophy for me. Craig's content, years after airing spawns magic.

+justwarren He's all over TV. Join or Die on the history channel and Celebrity Name Game which, surprisingly lets him use his wicked wit. Got an Emmy for hosting and deserved it.

Same ninjas got in my room, too.

UNEXCEPTABBLLEEEEEEEEEE

Craig is the GOAT.

I agree...there's usually a lot of vulgarity and tasteless jokes in show-business, and by all means Craig resorts to such techniques on many occasions (let's be honest, this is what the world appeals to, it's what catches on)...but what sets him apart from every other talk-show host and maybe even comedians is his authenticity. Not once have I seen him appear fake or attempt something that's not in his nature. He's always true to himself and true to others, which is what probably gave him the confidence to perform this outstanding eulogy. This is not only about his relationship with his mother, this is about every mother-son or parent-child relationship, and I believe most of us found familiarity in his speech. Kudos to you, Craig!

realitateatm If you haven't you should watch his monologue on not making Britney Spears jokes. It was amazing.

Yeah he was a horrible son😂😂😂 ok bro

So very true 100% He is missed by many of us :(

What did you expect...?

@@zachjohnson637 Not the feels... Obviously.

I loved him from the very beginning, A Scotsman staring closely into the TV camera saying "Its a great day for America everybody! And being one of the funniest, warmest and most quick witted Talk Show hosts in American TV History

I quit watching all late night 3yrs ago, it's all so lame

Same here buddy, it would be an honor to meet this man

We're only human. I felt his pain when he couldn't keep it together towards the end. I cried in other words. I don't know the man but it's sad when someone loses their parents.

I can identify,like so many other's..but at the end there,i just started sobbing.I lost my Mother November of 2013..

Juice Springsteen So true. He was he best late nite host. Always funny, always genuine.
