When the funniest guy in the room meets the funniest guy in the room.

Very few people can properly interview Russel while keeping up with his antics. Shows how good Craig is.

Trying to keep up with these two is like being on an express train whose destination is an anxiety attack

I love how Craig just lobbed him that resurrection joke and he had no doubts that Russell would hit it. It's so great when two comedians just feed and build each other's bits so easily. Classic interviews. I wish they would put Craig back on late night.

Criag is so underrated . Only host to not get destroyed by brand .

"Sorry, I'm showing off" "It's your job" I love that Craig is so encouraging

"We are out of time" "NO! Times continues to exist!" hahahaha

Jesus. This guy can keep up with Russel Brand, Ricky Jervais and then make them try to keep up with him. He was so good.

2 of the fastest minds in showbiz. Love them both. They should do more interviews and just improvise.

This really shows how quickly Craig can adapt.

Craig is the only one who could keep up with Russell. It's like watching an insane comedy ping pong match 😂🤣

Who’d have predicted that Russel would become one of those most insightful commentators on complex global affairs and politics.

How to end a Russell Brand interview.. Craig :”Do you want to throw a Frisbee at the Horse?”

After 15 minutes I was so thoroughly exhausted I needed a nap.

You can tell that Russell truly enjoys the appearances he's made with Craig Ferguson! I've seen other interviews with other people and he's not as jovial or as easy-going as he is with Craig. I think they have a mutual respect for each other as comedians and it shows!

Its genuinely odd that these two have such opposite styles yet their combined energy is incredible.

That resurrection bit was gold

Craig is the only one I’ve ever seen that can keep up with Russell. I enjoyed this so much 😂

I love these two together. I also noticed how, when Russell Brand walks on stage and hugs Craig, he closes his eyes and his face goes all calm and gentle. Thought it was actually quite human and lovely, to be honest. Made me like Brand a bit more.

I am on a Russell Brand interviews marathon. This guy is a genius. I love his chemistry with Craig Ferguson and Conan O'Brien, my two favourite talk show hosts.

Two brilliant people on the same wave-length.. I can't believe this was not scripted and done so well.

I love how in the first 3 minutes they already go crazy. Sets the tone for the whole 40 minutes

I think Craig Ferguson's talent is to allow other people to shine. Russell Brand is able to not be overpowering here and it actually plays well for him. He has a child like glee That doesn't come off as disingenuous. Ferguson does a really good job of allowing him to play that up yet still keeping a rein on and controlling the interview. Russell Brand is a heck of a challenge for any host yet Craig Ferguson seems genuinely happy to have him on. A great interview to be sure! Well done to both of them!

Russell made an excellent observation....Craig IS "Rat Pack" Cool. Very few people are, but Craig IS. Thats hard to pull off in the modern world.

Russel has never been happier in his life

How great of a comedian he is. Did you notice how spontaneous they became a comic duo and Russel worked instantly with Craig not controlling and not being the underdog. Perfectly balanced duo work. That Russel is a different level of performing and it is not the first time I see him adapt and work with the situation this great

Craig is absolutely amazing. I never watched his stuff and have been binging the last two days. Honestly the way he plays to his guest and makes even the most uncomfortable chats feel natural is so great.

The true death of late night talk shows ended when Craig left CBS. One in a billion.

Jack Sparrow and Quagmire merge to form this gentleman.

This is epic. When one great comic icon meets another, it's pure gold dust. Craig and Russell put on a show on the show. Their conversation went from one thing to another and it was funnier than the previous anecdote.

Craig is so good at interviewing. He can seemingly think of new questions endlessly.

Surprisingly Russel Brand can amuse himself while making us laugh... he's a special breed of God's creature.

I never noticed before, but Craig genuinely makes Brand crack up in the second segment

his observation about Craig's rat pack masculinity is spot on!

And now…Russell has almost five million subscribers on his podcast. He used to be outrageous but was always quick witted and bright. He is just channeling it in a better way now.

Imagine Robin Williams, Russell Brand and Craig Ferguson on the same stage.

Only Craig could chorale and encourage the whirlwind that is Russel Brand.

I've never seen Russell Brand tell a joke that doesn't land

Like two best mates hangin' out together. They're both brilliant.

Finally found a Host can handle Russel so well.. Cheers to Craig

That first clip was just hilarious!!! Brand is an extraordinary character!! Crazy, funny and highly intelligent to boot.

This pairing is a damn riot! I love it. They’re hilarious.

The two of them have got to be childhood best friends. They play off each other as though they know each other that way. Just so funny!!

It's so amazing to see interviews with Russell before he got off the drugs and then after married and now seeing him talk about his children and all the while not losing his wit at all but compounding his intelligence tenfold!!!!

Some interviewers had been destroyed by russel, craig was not one of them

This is what we get from two extremely charismatic humans. Pure genius 👏

These two are sparking off each other. True natural inventive comedy

I don't think I've ever seen Russell Brand this comfortable in an interview. He's like a kid on Christmas. That's how Craig Ferguson makes everyone feel comfortable being themselves. That's how both girls and guys love him :')

UK humour is the greatest.

Thank you for the post. Ferguson and Brand could have been a show on its own. Two amazing men. But this just further reinforce Craig's high level of intelligence, the ability to have conversations and various levels, his adaptability and great comedic sense..

These two are extremely intelligent and quite hilarious together

I watch this video every few months because it's so damn good. These two are kindred spirits. Both extremely smart, well-read, quick-witted, and all-around funny. These are a few of the best interviews I've seen from Craig on the ol' show.

They do such a good job playing off each other - so funny!

I would love to see Russell Brand and Jeff Goldblum in the same room talking to each other.

It's so crazy seeing 2008 Russell Brand compared to watching him on his UKposts channel today. It's like two completely different people.

Amazing performance, real life comedians, full of life and energy, nothing scripted... Best ever, you can't touch this..

Real life jack sparrow

Wow! Finally someone can keep up with Russel. Love them both. Can't stop laughing.

This needs to be watched in ten minutes segments! Lol I'm exhausted!!! Love love love Russell

These two are everything i ever imagined when two smart very funny witty people are enjoying each others company

Stumbled across this by accident, Russel definitely has his own brand of scary, he is way too fast for most that’s for sure! 😂 loved this❣️

"I should be surely adorned!" Love it!!!! Russell and Craig are brilliant together! ❤

Who needs drugs and alcohol to have fun with those two on the room. These guys are hysterical!!! They naturally feed off of each other.

I have seen these two together so many times & I never tire of them. They're priceless!!!!

I had to set the playback speed to 0.75

New year just happened like a minute ago, from 2019 to 2020 and here I am, good times

I have watched this interview so many times and it’s more funny each time. I love them. They should do a show together

Russel is funny as hell & Craig is keeping up with all his antics, it’s brilliantly funny... I was literally laughing out loud....love it, thank you so much. I needed that laugh.

They are amazingly funny and entertaining together, loved the Freud - Jung discussion with the mention of Walt Whitman (not to mention Walt Disney, lol)

I like how the years go on u see them get more chemistry and the friendship growing

Pretty cool that Brand is not just mentioning Chomsky but citing the title of his book "Manufacturing Consent" in improvised country song.

I love to see how Russell looses his breath between bits they perform…. Craig is crazy but awesome in feeding on other comedians energy especially with robin Williams

Why am I just watching this now? They´re both so awesome!

absolutely amazing that they can both be funny, brilliant yet still tame simultaneously. What a country.

That was thoroughly enjoyable. And the level of intelligence from these two just wow.

Craig and Russell could be a comedy team they're awesome together

I wasn't very drawn to Rusell at all, but he's hilarious and witty as hell, and that's really something to say when he's sitting next to a wit legend like Craig!

They genuinely adore and respect each other, which is rare for both of them. Genius meets genius.

You would think this was completely scripted it’s that brilliant. The chemistry is unmatched

Wow, I generally find Russell Brand irritating, but these two together are on fire. Such fast witted jousting, and funny to boot. Bravo. Command performance.

I binge watch these appearances of RB with CF...so funny, so quick, & intellectually challenging! CF is the only chat show host (at least in the US) that can hold his own (wit, humor, & quick w/intelligence..with no panic reaction) & retain control of the show against the 100 mph winds of a hurricane that is..Russell Brand!! Jolly Good Show!!

Didn't take them 4 minutes to go completely mental. Gotta love Russell (and many have).

Watching this makes me miss Craig even more.

It’s like watching an intense tennis match on a moving train! Delightfully exhausting 😂!

Brilliant from start to finish. Two hugely witty and entertaining guys. Russell Brand is very underrated.

these 2 are comedy gold

That was incredibly to watch. Two spirit souls of comedy blasting at a hundred miles an hour. Would like to see them together now February 2022. Russel is much older an calmer ☺️❤️

People shit on him, but, I love Rusell Brand. He's actually an incredibly intelligent guy, under all the silliness LOL

The Jayleno Fly you are one of the natural cures of depression! Thank you for what you do and for making us laugh.

20:00, Scotland is our Canada. 21:59, England is our Mexico.

"Those products aren't necessary." lol

Imagine if he had voiced Geoff for a day. The madness it would have been!

Russell Brand is actually brilliant.

Omg their ad lib chemistry humor is INSANE!! From the first appearance!!! There unique minds just flow together. I’d pay a tidy sum to see these two do a comedy special. Been a long time since we’ve had a great comedy duo. These two could be the Cheech and Chong of coke addict alcoholics in recovery 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Impossible to fit any more charisma on a stage. Those two are some of the funniest in the business.

Pure spontaneous wit. Comic genius. Telepathic. That dance scene at the end . . . the only healthy-looking people there were Craig and Geoff.

34:30 he profiles Craig and I think he is on point. He has that tendency when being interviewed.

Two amazingly bright bulbs.

One of my favourite interviews love the banter between Russell and Craig ❤

There's an undeniable comedic chemistry between these 2.
