What I love about these chronological compilations is that you can see the guests slowly fall in love with the show in real time. they all start confused and end up craig's best friend
i was literally going to comment that same observation cause its what i loved most about this compilation was how each time Morgan comes on hes clearly more comfortable and more in love with craig more than the time before which is why i came to the comments to check if anyone said it first lol
@@bcjammer Kristen Bell as well. I was pretty indifferent to her until I watched her 4-hour compilation. It literally made me fall in love with her. Now I hate Dax Sheperd.
50:35 Morgan is already fully in love with the show, it's so great to see that. Morgan rightfully remarked to Craig that "nobody else does it". Aside from the opening monologue and guest introductions, Craig ran the show without prompter lingo, without cue cards, and without notes in front of him telling him what he's supposed to talk about, and nobody else does that in late night TV. If you watched Colbert, Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, Meyers, Leno, Kilborn - they ALL did/do that. He sometimes briefly touches on talking points but otherwise just has real conversations with people, and it was an amazing run. I miss this show so much, and Craig still remains criminally underrated and underappreciated.
Totally agree. Loved that show...would often stay up late to watch even tho I knew I'd be tired at work the next day. I was so disappointed -- not to mention perplexed -- when it was cancelled. I think someone made a huge mistake. Craig stood out among all late night hosts. How he ran his show was unique, creative and genuinely funny.... and Craig seemed to do it with such ease. ☹️
@@sessary yeah I wouldn't have wished a longer run on him. But he was brilliant and he and Conan are the best of the best to me (Seth Myers if he doesn't wear a suit is tolerable, the rest are suits and so on the string of the execs)
The few times I ever see Craig get uncomfortable and awkwardly quiet (besides the awkward pause), is when people genuinely compliment him for his talent. He gets so uncomfortable he looks like he wants to try to deflect the conversation to a different direction. Craig is definitely a humble guy.
I think Craig always tries to bring a light, funny touch to everything throughout the show. When someone compliments him, there's not much he can say to create a joke out of it. I think he acts like that because simply saying thank you is not funny enough. He also knows that boasting on his own show has absolutely no meaning. Accepting compliments surely is not funny and it's the opposite of his usual self-deprecating humor. I'm not saying he's not humble. But, there's not much more he could do in that situation apart from trying to deflect the conversation, humorously-wise. That's how I interpret his reaction.
32:35 The fact the Morgan completely rendered Craig speechless with his compliments really speaks volumes to me about how Craig must've been. Such a down to earth guy, no ego attached whatsoever. Good god i miss this man
I see Morgan Freeman in a new light. I never knew he had such a sense of humor. He seems like his real-self when he's with Craig, who brings out the best in every guest.

These two are absolutely hilarious and adorable together 😊🙏A brilliant and intelligent actor and a brilliant and intelligent comedian...what wonderful entertainment 🙏❤
I miss this show so much. Love Craig Morgan and loved the spontaneity of this show. Craig made you feel like you were all sitting around in your living room, having drinks and goofy conversations--priceless. NO ONE does it as well as he did...crazy and over the top...but LOVED it!
that’s why I loved craig…all his interviews were like that. he’d make some jokes sure but really most of his questions weren’t joking. he’d ask a serious question, wait for a response then make a joke but then reel it back to serious. he was so amazing at interviewing!!!
When Morgan realizes he could say "fuck", that's when he knew this was a different show. The very next time he came, he already had a different way of presenting himself and slowly he starts to understand this genius art form only Craig does, free flow conversation with improv comedy snucked in every few minutes with anyone. You can be a millionaire A-list celeb or a random guest who couldn't get a seat for The Price Is Right, it's the same treatment from Craig. Halfway through this video, Morgan and Craig definitely became friends and I'd say maybe he even watched the show and truly understood it's concept, Craig's silly unique humor and knows why he has to do it again and again until it's no more. And that's why, Morgan Freeman, who is one of the best actors ever kept coming back. He could have easily said no to his agents but he didn't. That made him more likeable for me. Yes it's not hard coz its Morgan fuckin Freeman but anyone who does this show more than 5 times is cool to me. 10 times, you're a fan of this show and I honestly think Morgan is. Balls and careful Icarus.
Totally! I’m just watching through this now and I definitely see what you mean when Morgan felt right and comfy with the show. After that he just eased into it and really seemed to enjoy hanging out. No one on contemporary American late night tv cultivated ongoing rapport with folks the way Craig did. Most every guest spot felt like just an episode in a continuing friendship.
@@brendasears8668 the Jimmys only work to cater to the narcissistic tendencies of celebrities, research and forethought in going to their managers and regurgitating the same boring stories they cook up to promote this “image” into people’s heads. It all boils down to more acting. Craig throws them off by actually talking to the person, not the image. RDJr’s appearance is another good example of this. I think some celebrities would be uncomfortable with the format of the show, the less down-to-earth and more jaded they are. Morgan Freeman is the exact opposite of this kind of celebrity, that being obvious by the amount of appearances he’s made, and how much he enjoys talking about the things that are REALLY going on in his life. Craig’s interviews are the best PR one could ask for, by humanizing what the population tends to view as an object. I will die on this hill. We lost the best talk show/interview show on television and I’m really sad about it.
@@RomTheVacuumedSpider I think one of the big dividers sometimes is "British vs American" talk shows where British are generally more unscripted and loose, versus American ones are a lot more rigid and filled with segments and games (non-jimmys who are guilty of this: Leno, Conan, Ellen, Arsenio). It makes sense that Craig's show is so loose then. A couple of American talk show hosts that i think did really good with interviews were probably Jon Stewart and Dick Cavett, but those are probably the only two I could think of off the top of my head.
I only just discovered Craig Ferguson a few weeks ago, but I am a huge fan. Morgan Freeman is one hundred percent correct that nobody else just sits down and hold the conversation like Craig. Thank you for posting these I watch them everyday.
It's always so cool to me when I see how everyone just genuinely likes Craig. A monster talent like Morgan Freeman still falls in love with Craig enough to do the show 10 times and always seems genuinely delighted to talk to him.
Craig's comment at 1:24:05 after their conversation is 100% why he's such a treasure. Not just the awareness of the conversation, but the awareness of the conversation's impact on the advertisers, and then making a joke about it. This dude was way too quick for America.
Really ... really loved this. You could see the progression of their friendship with each appearance, and how much MF embraced the uniqueness of his personality and the show. Laughed a lot ... Thanks again JLF
absolutely heart-warming to see the progress. You could tell after the first appearance that they really hit it off, but the warmth just increased tremendously every time.
@@nogglebeak And ... 4 years later ... I STILL watch Craig's vids made by JLF. (he's the best at Craig, everyone else just copies). And now that Conan is gone ... where's the friggin good Late Nite shows? ...
Craig is/was such a great interviewer, yes he can act weird and goofy with the right guests but with Morgan Freeman he really is a good interviewer through the serious important topics.
@@thisismagacountry1318Senor Corden was such a vessel for advertisment. Craig talked to ppl like they had a brain and intelligence. We r lucky that all this is still available online for years to come.
The synergy between these two (and Craig and many of his guests) is just so amazing. This is why late night TV SUX! I sadly never watched him when he was on, but if it wasn't for The Jayleno Fly, I would have NEVER found this gem of a person!
"Do you go sailing on your own" "Yeah" "Really" "Yeah i'm one of these idiots, i like, ya know i.....ya know " "Did you ever make friends with a little volleyball"
this is gonna sound pretentious as fuck, but i can't help but love how craig treated conversation as the art that it is, no matter who was the guest, every single word would matter and be interesting
Morgan Freeman is in the dictionary, next to the photo of Extremely Cool. The man is flat out Cool. He is one of the few people in this world who is enjoyable to see and listen to. I get such a kick out of Josh's dead on impression of Morgan Freeman and then watching Morgan's reaction is priceless. Watching Craig yank his chains is priceless and Morgan just flowed into it as each appearance progressed.
This is such a series of intelligent, yet entertaining conversations between Morgan Freeman and Craig Ferguson. It somehow shows how CF has evolved as a talk show host. I enjoyed each "episode". Thanks for making and posting this video (and others like it), The JayLeno Fly. Carry on. Godspeed.
@@TheJayLenoFly I met MF in 2003 at Flighr School Hawaii. I was there working on my private pilot's license and he was logging an IFR flight with an instructor. He had a town car waiting for him un the parking lot the while flight. He is exactly as he us here. Jovial. Funny, and the center of each conversation un the room. We shared a flight instructor, who shared that he was the best student he had. I truly dig this dude
"You are an extremely talented man" - WORD OF GOD. Thankyou for preserving this very special underrated series.I really miss this show... Feel like the world would be better with more Craig..jus sayin
That little child like personality that Morgan Freeman pulls out is just adorable. It allows him to be a good sport and undercut Craig's question also at 12:30 ish.
Morgan Freeman isn't only a great actor he is a awesome human being,and not to mention who the hell else could just read a cereal box and make it seem interesting and amazing.
No need for that. You made a hasty judgement of the man or confused him with someone else or whatever. Nothing wrong with that. We all do that from time to time. And you fucking admitted to being wrong. In a youtube comment section! Kudos for that, sir.
Craig has the same kind of raport with guests as Johnny Carson did, in that he gets them to be themselves without them realizing it, they open up and have a good relaxing conversation.
Craig was underpaid, overworked, not supported by CBS, yet he brilliantly deconstructed the late night format. When you see Colbert walk off camera for a moment or "play" with the camera, that's Craig's influence. But there is no one, no one like Craig who did it faster, smarter, funnier or more genuine. So glad he's here for others to discover. Sorely missed. Deeply grateful.
That was an awesome segment. Morgan Freeman and Craig worked really well together, p,aging off each other very well. Morgan Freeman is an icon! One of, if not THE best and most talented actors ever. Would love to meet this man, what an inspiration
The series with Morgan Freeman is my new favorite. He is fascinating and his thoughts intriguing. Their discussions were entertaining and thought provoking. They made me laugh and left my mind buzzing and wanting to know more. Thank you!
Morgan Freeman is one of the greatest man and actor there is! He has such charisma that very, VERY few has, in that level maybe no one else. I love all his movies he is that good. Can't go wrong, he makes good job every time you can count on that. Mad respect to this man!
Thank you, The JayLenoFly! Your uploads of Craig's shows, and how you have curated, cared for and showcased them, is much appreciated! Once again, genuine THANKS!
Craig is the only Late Night host to really, really understand his guests. His humor is just spot on. When at 11:35, he asks, "Were you scared? Were you crying?...... Were you crying???", and he then pats Morgan Freeman on his shoulder to comfort him, I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!!! Nobody could honestly do that without having some trepidation and Craig is as comfortable as can be. It's these moments he has with guests that make him so enduring.
The real key to good conversations/long term friendship in showbusines, with Craig or in life in general for that matter, I think is mutual respect and even admiration. 31:47
Today again, I thought I'd take an afternoon siesta listening to God's voice but Craiggy makes it so interesting, I'm up awake giggling away. So, today again I reiterate 'best talk show ever'.
Craig was such a genuine natural talent. Funny to his bones! I dont miss any talk show hosts when they've stopped, but i really do miss Craig!! What i think helped him the most was being all-kinda messed up , in the 80's & trying to pick up girls in the bars , lol. A very quick-witted guy! You'd almost HAVE to be ! Many of us miss ya Craig! ...hope to see you soon
Ive been trying to find the episode morgan was wearing that tie out and commented he wanted to do what Craig did. And went further saying he was winging it thru and thru. That was the first time i really respected Craig's talent.
Craig is so real and witty, his none script segments make it all so worth watching, he's so entertaining just by being his ol Scottish/American self, there is no talk show host like him.
Craig Ferguson is absolutely charming and extremely quick. My favorite quality that he brought to his show is the authenticity of himself, and his true qualities. His gift to the world is that he genuinely disarmed his guests, and brought out their real personality. I have a better grasp of Morgan Freeman solely because of this show.
What I love about these chronological compilations is that you can see the guests slowly fall in love with the show in real time. they all start confused and end up craig's best friend
oh yeah, mila kunis compilation is great too!!

How they enter the stage differently and more open each time tells a lot.
@@bcjammer Kristen Bell as well. I was pretty indifferent to her until I watched her 4-hour compilation. It literally made me fall in love with her. Now I hate Dax Sheperd.

Expressed very well. Nobody comes close to Craig's innate talents. He does it all. And he does it very well. Incomparable. Thanks for your comments.
I agree with you but also say that absolutely loads of people appreciate Craig Ferguson, however he has the type of fame that is cool.
Totally agree. Loved that show...would often stay up late to watch even tho I knew I'd be tired at work the next day.

@@sessary Craig decided he wanted to move on so it was his choice. I believe he wanted to stop 2 years before but was persuaded to go on a bit longer.

This is the only talk show I've seen Morgan Freeman be comfortable and have a good rapport with the host. And his sense of humor is awesome too.
besides Graham Norton on BBC
I noticed that too. I've rarely seen Freeman comfortable with the questions asked.
@@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists He was not comfortable on Graham Norton.
@@FarmerFpv its crazy that he told you
You can tell he likes Craig
32:35 The fact the Morgan completely rendered Craig speechless with his compliments really speaks volumes to me about how Craig must've been. Such a down to earth guy, no ego attached whatsoever. Good god i miss this man
That's a crazy way to talk about someone who is alive and still working
Craig Ferguson by far is the most genuinely funniest late night talk show host ever.
Ever.
Watch it. That's Johnny Carson.
@@kingzucode rather Dick Cavett, regarding serious personal discussion and interaction.
Conan also
The 3 Cs of late night: Carson. Craig. Conan. In that order.
Craig is the type of guy that can get along with absolutely anyone, and bring out the best in people. I wish he'd stayed on the air much longer.
I'd be hard-pressed to think of another talk show where Morgan Freeman would be this comfortable... maybe Graham Norton
Maybe not. Morgan Freeman was very much comfortable with Craig compared to when guested on the GNS for the first time in Season 21.
Probably Parkinson
I see Morgan Freeman in a new light. I never knew he had such a sense of humor. He seems like his real-self when he's with Craig, who brings out the best in every guest.
he's usually a horrible guest, quiet doesnt want to participate. sought of never looks particularly enthused.
archilonshadowheart7 yea i can kinda see why though. They always want him to "perform", like some show dog all the time

Freeman and Ferguson, what a team. They have a pretty solid rapport and mutual sympathy. It's a joy to watch.

According to IMDB, more than any other late night show.
Morgan Freedman giving Craig that compliment was spot on. Very touching
When I listen to these two guys I regain faith in humanity. They are real good people. Would love to have them as friends.
"Do you go sailing on your own"
"Yeah"
"Really"
"Yeah i'm one of these idiots, i like, ya know i.....ya know "
"Did you ever make friends with a little volleyball"
That would be a great show if Craig and Morgan wander the earth solving crimes. I'd watch.
Yesssss please!!!
Plus teaching their ethics..two men who have morals and willing to stand for them
Pitch that to Netflix. I’d watch it.
THAT....wood be amazing!
They have such great chemistry together
I love watching Morgan Freeman, he looks so much like my late father... it brings me a bit of tears but I enjoy his talent so much 🥰
I feel like I'm watching a kinda private regular conversation and it's cool as hell.
That's what people do on discord
they scream and curse at csgo players
I feel u bro
It's pretty damn cool how you can see how the friendship develops as the shows progress in time. Great stuff!!!
Craig had so many guests that returned many times, but he's so personalbe, so no surprise.
this is gonna sound pretentious as fuck, but i can't help but love how craig treated conversation as the art that it is, no matter who was the guest, every single word would matter and be interesting

You're out of here, bucko, we're replacing you with the younger, more energetic Jimmy Fallon fly.
Why would that sound pretentious?
I agree
Yes. A deeper respect to what we experience every day. Definitely.
When you watch Craig talk to people you get a sense that he's a genuine person, that I think is where his charisma is from
Morgan so enjoyed the interaction with Geoff, he tapped him on the shoulder. Amazing. 37:57

@@TheJayLenoFly I met MF in 2003 at Flighr School Hawaii. I was there working on my private pilot's license and he was logging an IFR flight with an instructor. He had a town car waiting for him un the parking lot the while flight.
He is exactly as he us here. Jovial. Funny, and the center of each conversation un the room. We shared a flight instructor, who shared that he was the best student he had. I truly dig this dude
Every Craig interview sheds light and brings new hope for humanity.
"You are an extremely talented man" - WORD OF GOD.
Thankyou for preserving this very special underrated series.I really miss this show... Feel like the world would be better with more Craig..jus sayin
Morgan Freeman is having a great time. He's happy with Craig.
That little child like personality that Morgan Freeman pulls out is just adorable. It allows him to be a good sport and undercut Craig's question also at 12:30 ish.
Truly heartwarming to see their genuine connection blossom over the years.
Two brothers from another mother!!!!
brooo i don't know how you do this ...but thank you ... and god bless you
Comments like this definitely helps achieve all of this. Thanks man! God bless!

Ur drunk arnt you :-)
Mr. Freeman is one of my all time favorite actors. His voice is superb.
I can watch and listen to Morgan Freeman talk for hours ! Amazing person!
Pro Tip: go to 1:25:09 for Geoff's impression of Morgan Freeman.
Its fun to see Morgan getting more and more comfterble to friends later shows hes completly in tone with Craig
Morgan Freeman isn't only a great actor he is a awesome human being,and not to mention who the hell else could just read a cereal box and make it seem interesting and amazing.
I've gotta get this off my chest... Morgan Freeman is my spirit animal. Thank you for putting this together, JayLeno Fly!
Thats one heck of a spirit animal If I may say so. My pleasure, please enjoy!
Craig Ferguson is my spirit animal …
2022, and it's still the best late night show we were ever graced with....
Yes! Was hoping Morgan Freeman would pop up here. Well, that's my next 2 hours sorted.
Grow up.
People like Ace1 NEVER grow up.
I was wrong about Mr. Freeman. I'm removing my comment.
No need for that. You made a hasty judgement of the man or confused him with someone else or whatever. Nothing wrong with that. We all do that from time to time. And you fucking admitted to being wrong. In a youtube comment section! Kudos for that, sir.

Craig has the same kind of raport with guests as Johnny Carson did, in that he gets them to be themselves without them realizing it, they open up and have a good relaxing conversation.
Craig was underpaid, overworked, not supported by CBS, yet he brilliantly deconstructed the late night format. When you see Colbert walk off camera for a moment or "play" with the camera, that's Craig's influence. But there is no one, no one like Craig who did it faster, smarter, funnier or more genuine. So glad he's here for others to discover. Sorely missed. Deeply grateful.
That was an awesome segment. Morgan Freeman and Craig worked really well together, p,aging off each other very well.
Morgan Freeman is an icon! One of, if not THE best and most talented actors ever. Would love to meet this man, what an inspiration
The series with Morgan Freeman is my new favorite. He is fascinating and his thoughts intriguing. Their discussions were entertaining and thought provoking. They made me laugh and left my mind buzzing and wanting to know more. Thank you!
Morgan Freeman is one of the greatest man and actor there is! He has such charisma that very, VERY few has, in that level maybe no one else. I love all his movies he is that good. Can't go wrong, he makes good job every time you can count on that. Mad respect to this man!
Thank you, The JayLenoFly! Your uploads of Craig's shows, and how you have curated, cared for and showcased them, is much appreciated! Once again, genuine THANKS!
Love Morgan and Craig together. Just two boys havin a good time.
I love how reoccurring guest get more and more comfortable with each visit.
"I left school at 16 to pursue......other interests." "Who? Do you remember her name?"
that's an awesome response
Best vocal impression of Morgan Freeman in the business, by far :-)
Craig is the only Late Night host to really, really understand his guests. His humor is just spot on. When at 11:35, he asks, "Were you scared? Were you crying?...... Were you crying???", and he then pats Morgan Freeman on his shoulder to comfort him, I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING!!! Nobody could honestly do that without having some trepidation and Craig is as comfortable as can be. It's these moments he has with guests that make him so enduring.
Morgan does seem like a really down to Earth person which is rare considering the success he's had. Tells a lot about him.
Good job finding all 10!
I'm happy about that too:D Thank you!
Jay, awesome job mate. Will you be making a compilation of funny things with the audience/hobos in the near future?) That would be interesting)
That will have to wait till the summer (june) im sad to say. But ill consider it for sure.
The JayLeno Fly. love the sound and quality of all your videos thanks
Thanks man! some of the old videos have different peak volumes and it can be bothersome. But the new ones are better.
You know it's gonna be amazing when in the cold open you are already sold to his genius sense of humor. Amazing guy!
Dear Fly: sometimes at the end of a hard day, especially, I remember your uploads and can't thank you (or Craig) enough. 🙂🙂🙂
Grew up watching Morgan Freeman, the only actor that I love everything about him. Mad respect.
The real key to good conversations/long term friendship in showbusines, with Craig or in life in general for that matter, I think is mutual respect and even admiration. 31:47
this show really is the best,,, the celebrities can actually be normal and no need to pretend , not fake but genuine
I don't think I ever missed a night watching Craig made my night so pleasant and this has been so great getting to see these great shows again.
Today again, I thought I'd take an afternoon siesta listening to God's voice but Craiggy makes it so interesting, I'm up awake giggling away. So, today again I reiterate 'best talk show ever'.
Morgan is a Blues fan too. He owns half of Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale MS. A good place to hear some Blues.
Thank you The JayLeno Fly, this is without doubt my most watched channel. I have lost many hours watching your fantastic work! **SUBBED**
Very happy you like my channel bro! Thank you very much! :D Glad you subbed!
Craig was such a genuine natural talent. Funny to his bones! I dont miss any talk show hosts when they've stopped, but i really do miss Craig!! What i think helped him the most was being all-kinda messed up , in the 80's & trying to pick up girls in the bars , lol. A very quick-witted guy! You'd almost HAVE to be ! Many of us miss ya Craig! ...hope to see you soon
28:05 Morgan Freeman pulls out the Southern Baptist Televangelist from his repertoire. Epic.
Ive been trying to find the episode morgan was wearing that tie out and commented he wanted to do what Craig did. And went further saying he was winging it thru and thru. That was the first time i really respected Craig's talent.
Thanx jayleno fly for this
diddududodat2u happy I helped 😊
This guy is one of my favourite actors, he is awesome.
Craig is so real and witty, his none script segments make it all so worth watching, he's so entertaining just by being his ol Scottish/American self, there is no talk show host like him.
I keep comming back one or twice a year to run through craigs shows! Stellar conversation in this one in perticular 😁
Craig Ferguson is absolutely charming and extremely quick. My favorite quality that he brought to his show is the authenticity of himself, and his true qualities.
His gift to the world is that he genuinely disarmed his guests, and brought out their real personality.
I have a better grasp of Morgan Freeman solely because of this show.
This is my third time coming back to this compiltion and watching it from start to the end.
