This seems off topic, but this is why I always thought Craig Ferguson was above David Letterman. Craig might poke fun at his guest, but he was never out to humiliate them. He wanted his guest as much as his audience to feel comfortable and laugh. Often to the point that he broke rules of a talk show. He blatantly invites awkward pauses, he routinely passes over the main topic, he talked to everyone like a Normal person.

I would give anything to have Craig back on late night television ❤🙏

It's really amazing watching how this guy breaks the social barrier down on people and gets them to open up. He navigates through random conversation incredibly.

Tom Cruise is happy to no longer be the shortest actor in Hollywood.

Craig has this great ability to read people, particularly in that first interview where he senses Ellen is more shy & reserved & adjusts his interview style accordingly, there's no double-entendres or flirting & he doesn't even bite when she herself drops an innuendo at 8:43.

The awkward pause comes naturally to Ellen Page.

I saw Craig's stand up show in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in about 2015. So he's been here for at least a night now.

I really enjoy CF’s interview style. He’s not there to check boxes with his guests. It’s like a natural flow of conversation, it’s real not forced. It’s very rare to see this today.

This guy is a genius, the interviews are so awkward but still so funny.

the way she acts when talking about her dogs... so cute. hadn't seen that side of her before.

"Accept yourself" Craig must be proud!! (I mean it in the good way)

Love it, they get on so well together, surprisingly compatible senses of timing and humor.

Ellen didn't quite know what to make of Craig at first, but warmed up to him quickly. His charm is unorthodox but infectious, as is hers.

craig was so genuine, thats what sets him above the rest. You can tell he actually gets excited to hear shit when people say stuff.

I love her! I remember seeing Juno in theaters. Craig can interview anyone he is so flexible it's great. I wish he was doing more these days.

i honestly didnt expect to watch the full thing in one sitting, but here i am. the asparagus story thing was 10/10

As a proud Canadian, watching her grow from Trina on trailer park boys to this great actress, is quite something.she is really talented. I love her.

She's lovely. Kind of anxious and shy. Seems to overthink, but Craig drew her out with the dogs topic.

Are you in therapy? "I dont want to get into that" Think we all know why that is...

Well, here we are.

Thanks for the compilation. Very entertaining.

She still looks like a child at the age of 30. It's amazing.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" "No." 😂😁🤣❤👍

Wow! Craig Ferguson is a master interviewer! He started with a young woman too intimidated to take her hand away from her mouth and ended up with a terrific playmate. Wow. He's good!

this guy is a god i have never seen such a talk show

30:55 "...So, Ellen Page, you say you eat kittens?" that part of the interview....he knew for sure

I never watched this show, even though I LOVED Mr. Wick. Thank you for posting these clips. I absolutely ❤ Mr. Ferguson.

Craig definitely didn't do the cookie cutter thing when it came to late night hosts. I never watched him on the air, but catching some of these clips with my favorite stars the show seemed to be a great time.

Big fan of hers since Hard Candy. At one point I started watching all her movies and in my opinion she's one of the best actors of her generation.

lol, i've been watching these visits over and over, too. i'm still fascinated by the unusual atmosphere, compared to craig's other, regular visits. sometimes it's quite unsettling to watch, as she's not acting, she's just being herself, a rather shy and protective persona, quite troubled by still being closeted at this time

Nova Scotia is one of my favorite places and I have been there several times. I love Halifax, but not in the winter.

I'm glad she made it out of Leo's Subconscious

I believe she is one of the coolest guests I've ever seen on any talk show. And yet, yes, one can tell she's anything but confident. That anxiety certainly is there. And makes her adorable. Craig reads people and won't hurt anyone on purpose. He knows about anxiety I think.

19:20 Lama's are awesome they're like... sexy sheep.

Craig is the most skilled talkshow host i've ever seen. He's able to talk to guests on live tv, while keeping it lighthearted, hilarious, and above all (which everyone else fails at!) not forced AT ALL. It's pretty amazing.

Craig Ferguson is like my brain when I wake up in the morning. When he's gabbling about nothing and everything at the same time 😂😅

"do you want some candy" i allmost died there xD

@The JayLeno Fly - I love your posts - just found you tonight by random - loving what ya do. Thanks so much! Cheers and hugs to ya!

Everything Craig does is delicious, classy, smart & funny. I love the respect he pays to his guests! He doesn't talk down. Never humiliates them, never goes where it might be embarrassing-I would have blurted out-why are your hands orange? An amazing talent to be able make your guests feel safe & amused & amusing. I'd so love it Netflix or someone would create a show for him. @The JayLeno Fly I FREAKING LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!

She's quite great. I think her coming out or not shouldn't be any issue at all here. Let her love whomever she wants. And anyone. Don't mention it. She is wonderful.

James Cordon is so boring compared to this guy! People could just have a chat with Craig whereas James still keeps his cards 😕

I love the contradiction between the tittle of the video and the content of it lol 😂

It's just amazing how craig carries these interviews. Because for the first 6 minutes there is just nothing coming from her. Every other interviewer would've fallen apart and it would've become awkward. Not the good kind of awkward. But craig just safely carries the conversation through it all. I wish i could do that.

31:02 "So, Ellen Page, you're saying you eat kittens" You're onto something

10:12 - fell in love instantly, right there.

I know she is a he now and I am very happy for him - but he was so beautiful as a female and I had a huge Ellen Page crush - not hating just saying and wish nothing but happiness for him

You can see the tightrope she's walking to both protect her brand as an actor while enjoying a conversation and being as honest as she can despite it, I don't envy that life.

was AWESOME in "Inception". It's like you wanted to protect her LOL

@17:30-17:42 Craig: "I don't know how you're going to fit into the LA scene, to be honest. They're into surfing and Botox here, and that's not your scene at all." Ellen(adorably deadpan)"You'd be surprised."

34:20 that reaction though

It's telling how comfortable and relaxed she is around Craig as opposed to practically any other talk show host (late night or otherwise).

I love this channel. I really miss the Craig Ferguson show.

Best late night host ever. Very witty and a great conversationalist

She..

XD Her wearing that hat in interview #2 was her coming out before she even said anything. She is awesome, and I love how she is basically bros with Craig :-)

10:23 that look she gave him....

first of all she dont have a D so she is not a man .. that is a fact like 1+1=2 therefore she is a woman and choose to be seen as man however she isn't a man that is completely crazy for people to think or agree with this just to be known for open minded .. shit this is more crazy. she destroyed her career, she destroyed her self, she destroyed her life. no one will hire her, however the fake support she had in the beginning, she will never see it again when she looking for a job. she will ended working in some office job or being an employee in a production company that is it. i don't know why she has done all of that, if she a lesbian actress, okay fine, there are lesbian actress still work and appear in movies and tv shows. she lost so much and will never come over this one.

Why does it say "Elliot" Page, but the video was uploaded 6 years ago?

I forgot that we have a famous Nova Scotian actress. Now we need a famous Cape Breton actor/actress.

39:06 there's a little Jay Leno fly!

Little Ms. Lahey all grown up :) Seems like just yesterday she was trading in her bike to buy Ricky a new shirt and pepperoni.

Lovely Canadian.watched many of her movies ?T.V shows.❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

10:05 That's a camera women laugh right there! Also this whole scene is genious.

i freaking love Ellen Page, shes our precious Canadian actress. So talented and great actress~

Love the retcon😆

I see you had the title updated.

Spamaragus she is just a real person I want to hug her

I love Ellen Page and she was perfect with Craig.

SHE was so cute and beautiful!

1 of my all time crushes... 💔

I really like her performance in that movie "Hard Candy".

Why do I think that Ellen Page would have been a better choice than James Corden

Gonna have to update this one.....

Why would you change the title... This is not Elliot Page...

I saw her in Trailer Park Boys way back, there was just something different and good about her.

I know she's a lesbian but in her first appearance on the show she seemed like she wanted to kiss Craig in the end

I laughed so much when Page called her character a "sexual predator" 24:10 Great delivery on that joke.

She is Ellen Page at this moment not Elliot

My word but he's adorable. He would make a lovely drinking buddy

Seen a lot of her, never actually heard her speak.. Very interesting accent!

To sum it all up, striking, gorgeous, charming, glamorous, captivating, elegant, and pulchritudinous. Fantastic actor.

"Do you have a boyfriend." ... ... ... "...No." This interview really shows its age.

The movie "Super" was and is very underrated. Rainn Wilson has done some interesting work since The Office but it has not been appreciated by the public at large. Ellen's role in Super was a lot of fun until, you know, the thing.

Ellen spontaneously snaps into weeping in her fourth appearance. Don't you love it?

Very sweet of you/good to correct this.

You misspelled Ellen

That is Ellen Page. SHE is from Nova Scotia.

lol "that's what she said." - Ellen Page, 2010

The funniest episodes of this show I've seen so far, I think.

I miss this show so much!

At least there Craig, I got friends that LIVE in Moose Knuckle, Western Canada!

Ive always imagined Last of Us being a movie, with Ellen Page as Ellie. She'd be perfect!

32:22 onwards encapsulates the entire premise of Craig's show perfectly

That's Victor! Hello Victor!!!

We’re *all* just here

craig reminds me of gru when he does the hands thing 7:16

I don’t see why people attack her, she did great

He's quite cute for a guy.

She sounds like a chipmunk, lol

I have gone through a C. Ferguson watching binge, and have come to the conclusion so far that Ellen Page's interview is one of the BEST! She is so intelligent, raw, quick, genuine, unintentionally and intentionally comedic. There is a great conversational chemistry and flow between the two that is very entertaining! As with many of the other interviews many come across as fake, try hard, unprofessional, and they appear they need to drink or flirt in order to be some what entertaining - which in my opinion comes off as cheap and can be cringy to watch! I like creative spontaneous unrehearsed humour. The flirting on this show is too over done in most cases with the other interviews, it looks kind of tacky, too repetitive and predictable = boring! I even think this guy ALONE would be even better to listen to as pure stand up comedian...loads better minus the Hollywood fake chitty chat! 👌✌
