He is apparently too decent a person to be a good late show host

5 stars for a Scotsman talking about drinking, minus one for killing my schadenfreude. Bastard!

It gets really quiet towards the end. Well played.

This man is a class act. We need more Scottish TV hosts in the US.

Well that was well said. Maybe it's time to find a tv some nights.
|

Late night talk show hosts aren't supposed to be compassionate and classy. What gives, Craig?
|
Old_Zircon
Wow. Are things starting to slowly, slowly change?

This should make you feel bad for laughing at Britney Spears jokes.
|

Speechless.
|

The only thing that bothers me is the audience missing the point and laughing at non-jokes early on.
|
Cleaner82 But he wasn't taken aback, he rolled with it. He knows people are expecting jokes.
|
Cleaner82 In fact that was one of the great things about this, he never got preachy. It was never, "How DARE you people--", it was always about his own behavior. Way to be, says I.

Wow. That's a class act.

Decency; that's refreshing.

Please let this man be on American television for as long as he wants. We need all the class we can get.

+5 for drunk vicar
And all the smart, important stuff he said.

I have a lot of respect for this guy now. I was never really into him before. Pretty brave monologue for network.
|

After he got this job, people began wondering why Craig deserved his own show. This is why.
|
|
IrishWhiskey Are you Craig Ferguson? Because its not our own back we're patting. Complimenting another person's wit and compassion is not the same as self-promotion.
|

This is what the comedy of the future looks like folks. We, are fucking, doomed.
People don't even know the difference between a joke and a dead-serious statement.
This is what Howard Beale looks like eighty years from now.

Long Gone Daddy
SCotsmen are all decent folk.

This may be a little late, but I just got around to signing in to this part of the site, and...yeah, incredible. Brung a tear to me eye, it did.
|
keinsignal
just, wow.
|
JimL2
This really is very good. I can't believe I waited a year to watch it.
|
Long Gone Daddy
The thing that strikes me about Ferguson isn't his decency - that's well and good, but outshined by his incredible ability to speak extemporaneously in a charming and fluid manner EVERY. NIGHT. He ad libs these monologues - there aren't any cue cards. He just kind of plans out what he wants to say.
|
Lauritz Melchior
It's so refreshing to see people simply being human beings.
|

Five-starred late, but it can never be said enough - this monologue is brilliant.
|
mobius
This man has balls, and a big heart. Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.

I wish I could say I wanted more talking heads to be this honest and genuine, but I imagine most talking heads are honestly, genuinely pricks. Not this guy though, this guy RULES. Million stars on top of the five I gave it earlier.
|
Thersites1960
What's remarkable about this is that the whole show doesn't grind to a halt.
|
joelkazoo
Said what needed to be said, and did so eloquently (or as eloquently as a frickin' Scot can!)
|

i love this man.
|
Lies, lies, LIES!
How the fuck have I not favorited this yet?
|

I have never found Craig Ferguson funny before, but not only was this entire speech really moving he actually managed to slip in a good joke or two. Maybe this could be his niche: the Fundamentally Decent Talk Show, with Occasional Humor.

I recently listened to the audiobook version of Craig's book "American on Purpose," narrated by himself. Its just as classy and well spoken, with humor in the right spots, as this for 7 hours, highly recommended
