@@MinisterMindset369 AYE OH!

"Marveling"

It still wasn't perfectly smooth tho :)

Well, it's a negative part of his life and interviewers try to bring it up just for the sake of views; prying into his life when it has nothing to do with a movie or what he's promoting. But you're right, with Craig there's no agenda and he's always respectful. He's had it much worse than RDJ but they have similar experiences so they feel comfortable making light of it. You definitely wont see too many interviews like this..

As Russell Brand once told Craig..."you've got a Rat Pack style masculinity. You're very at ease....women will find you very attractive and men will think you're a good guy."

Craig is unique in his usage of potentially uncomfortable or unwanted comments, in that he rarely resorts to them without first taking a hit himself, or only as a way to fire back at a guest who has said something that warrants punishment. In this example, the "other activities" were used after RDJ has quite judgmentally criticized a large group of people for enjoying a hobby (which today is a lot more mainstream and a lot less misunderstood). You can't get upset at a host for bringing it up and putting you on blast seconds after you put somebody else on blast. Craig is very clever. He is only ever cunningly adversarial to the guests when they open fire. Another example is RDJ making a joke about Craig most likely having not seen the movie they were talking about, and only seeing trailers or reading a summary. Craig plays along with it for a while, only to fire back at RDJ by bringing up a scene that RDJ was not personally involved with, making a joke about how RDJ most likely hasn't seen the movie they were discussing either, accusing him of having knowledge of only the scenes that he was part of. That was the moment RDJ realized that Craig isn't Jimmy Fallon. He smiles and laughs probably the most genuine laugh he has had on a late night show to date, because the interviewer got him back with his very own weapon. It took him a while to catch up to speed, and he even tried to assume control using the fact that Craig spent a bit too much time discussing the following female guest, which was a faux pas on his part, to which he admitted by staying silent for about 2 seconds, only to make a statement that even though he may have gotten off track and that's his fault, he isn't about to let RDJ walk all over him anyway, saying "She should be in that Sherlock Holmes movie too". And once again, RDJ gets staggered, because nobody does that to him. Nobody confronts him in interviews. Everybody either folds, or is openly adversarial towards him in order to bring in cheap views. Nobody just banters with him, much less is able to keep up with his charisma and wit. But Craig can, and Craig does.

Cause Craig had the same past so it comes from a place of similarity

Craig is the greatest talk show host of all time.

Yes that's the point

You see so many comments saying best talk show ever, Craig's uniqueness is the best and will be missed and so on and they always get to top comment... But I've never seen anyone articulate what makes the show so cathartically special, and you did it perfectly. Thank you :)

pure comedy and non political. The only show I watched the celebrity guests. In other shows like Conan, I'd only watch the monologue and the skits before the guests.

@@TayR0C gert

hahah xD you're the only one to point out the hell I'm dealing with every day. I swear, there would be many more compilations if I wasn't watching it while making it haha! Good one bro!

Hahah! probably a good thing! if you would be putting out more compilations, then I would'nt get anything done either! Appreciate the effort you're putting in tho:)

I see what you mean completely:D Enjoy bro!

lol i already do that as if

thank you for all the vids

never understood that joke

Same

A broad is a female, see dungeon

@@TechnoMonkeyFarm and the website means porn?

locked up abroad. locked up in a foreign country.

They are both recovering drug / alcoholics, both funny men so have common ground. RDJ probably feels pretty safe with Craig - he's not going to set him up like one or two journalist have done before.

Spartanm333 I believe your thoughts were insightful and nicely said. To piggy back on your thoughts: That may be why many of his guests and personalities did well with Craig, because they felt safe, with him, whether they laughed about things or shared something of themselves. That' speaks volumes about Craig Ferguson.

He seemed uncomfortable when he brought it up to start with but as soon as he said "I was too!" he seemed fine. Thats one of his things that you're not allowed to talk to him about, like Billy Bob and his music career.

you should watch RDJ's interviews with Zach Galifianakis when they were promoting Due Date. RDJ is very comfortable around Zach and they're both hilarious together

@Rabbit Hole I can see why you're unfamiliar with this thing called comedy

Dude, I see you everywhere. Love Zappa btw

It seemed that RDJ really appreciated how quick thinker Craig was.

It was a sad day when he ended the show, but he did go out on top, which is not often the case. The show was only getting better.

yeahh, I know that reference.

@@adityarathi8803 what is the reference pls ?

Robert (Iron Man) be annoyed by Kevin Costner (McFarland), Bruce Willis (Over the Hedge) and Caitlin Wachs (Air Bud 4).

Seriously, I just finished ANOTHER viewing of this video upload. The whole length. And I seriously feel like the two of them, as a traveling show, would sell out. It would leave everyone in stitches and mentally exhausted with the speed, but man. They would kill it. Felt a bit like how fast the John Mulaney & Nick Kroll "Oh Hello!" show was.

There was also at least one audible gasp from the audience.... I felt a little disheartened too, TBH.

He always seems a bit awkward, actually...

No. He's a little arrogant too, but that's okay.

@@stretch54 I’m not just saying this cause I’m a fan but I think it’s and act and some kind of defence mechanism

@@alicegw3913 I agree with you mostly. I’m not here to defend or attack him.

Watch an interview where RDJ isn't promoting a film and you'll find that he's not arrogant at all, actually very humble. Just knows how to put on a good show when he's doing promotion.

he already did. but it is not on youtube

Agreed. Thank you!:D

Ah yes, a classic video with Robert Downey Gunior.

Good catch.

@Miss reign and all RDJ interviews forbid discussing his drug days, so Craig not only got around that, he humanized RDJ and allowed it to be "past forgiven" while still showing respect.

@Miss reign He was joking.

Yep, I would’ve kicked his teeth in if he’d done that on my show, but Talentless Ferguson was too wrapped up in his own self adulation to catch it....

@@richardichard4237 You are actually braindead. It was a joke. How are you so tone-deaf.

I haven't heard of serendipitous since 10th grade. I remember the first time I heard it. Wow. Thanks for that.

Spot on! I also loved the late Bill Bixby.

Great observation I never caught the resemblance!

He doesn't do Iron Man, he *is* Iron Man.

Cut to 2019 and... well... yeah

@@jidgy8547 we don't talk about it

2020 he's not

@@commonlogic3646 like I said we don't talk about it

that would have been hilarious

I don't think he'd look at it like nonsense. It was a genuine, incredibly difficult personal struggle that he overcame. Not really something for you to minimize or judge.

@@XXgenderloveXY they weren't trying to minimize it. Stop it with your feigned outrage.

What was constantly censored?

Rosie Perez told Craig, "That's like I'm afraid of guns so shoot me, that's stupid."

LOL well obviously it only works on irrational fears

@@thebrazilianatlantis165 which shows her lack of understanding, haha. A better way to phrase it would’ve been: “That’s like going to a gun range because you’re afraid of guns.”
