    Yes, I’m really the voice and operator of Geoff Peterson (and Sandra the Rhino 2.0, all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, the entire Shy Fellas band and more!). And this is REALLY my YT Channel!
    Pretty much every Geoff and Craig interaction was unscripted, and this moment is no exception. For several nights in a row Craig was busting Geoff's balls (pun intended) about not having lips to blow a harmonica. So during this segment, while puppeteering/voicing Geoff, I'm also flagging down our props guy, Eddie, to run and get a harmonica. When Craig hears the harmonica sound coming from Geoff's mouth, his look of surprise is genuine.
    Here are some of the other characters I played on the show: czcams.com/video/0Pr_aMAqlLg/video.html

    Many people think Geoff’s mouth movements were voice activated, but in reality I had to flip a switch every time to make the mouth move. Every. Single. Word. There were also separate controls for his right and left arms, head swivel and blinking eye lights.
    Someone asked recently if the harmonica was pre-recorded. No, that was a real harmonica. All the instruments I used were real. So I learned to move quickly between the remote control and whatever instrument was being used in the moment. All while making stuff up!
    “Were the phone calls pre-recorded?” Again, cannot emphasize this enough: it was all made up on the spot, in the moment. I never knew what voice I would do until the moment Craig said, “I wonder who might call now…” 📞
    While all of this is going on, I’m also using a second remote control to operate and voice Sandra the Rhino on occasion. Plus, I’m voicing all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, every member of the Shy Fellas band, and Secretariat’s inner voice. Whew! 💀 -JRT

Just the chemistry that made this work... which is so great because Craig is essentially talking to a piece of plastic and metal that's killing him with laughter.

      Fellow Clevelander here as well! I have watched this video on CZcams more than any other, and it never fails to make me laugh. My favorite part is at 3:03 when Geoff barely gets out, “we throw beads we go swimming“ the second time, and Craig loses it - he’s all the way over to the left laying on his desk laughing uncontrollably and trying not to. The whole thing reminds me of study hall in high school, And how we were constantly trying to not be heard when we were laughing so hard.

    This is something that's just perfect, from beat to beat. It was a risk - Craig doubtless wanted someone to bounce off of, but finding a comedian who can bounce that naturally is rare, and finding someone like Mr. Thompson who can ad-lib and match Craig's humor perfectly must've been like finding a big diamond in a Safeway parking lot. This show was the funniest thing on TV for about 4 or 5 years.

      I love Conan, but his show is so much more sterilized and "controlled" in comparison. I always watch his "Conan scraps" and his interactions with Andy is just awesome...they are much funnier off the air than when everything is scripted! Craig perfected that approach here...you KNOW this was unscripted.

      You are so correct! I haven't felt properly energized since the show ended. If it weren't for these clips I'd be a zombie.

      No truer words have been spoken especially for 2018. Sad to say we might go into WWIII soon with such a failure as our president right now. Or at least that's where I see the U.S. is going.

      John Gault It is the president who chooses who goes into his/her office if they are failing it is the presidents responsibility to correct them. As citizens of the United States of America we are here to criticize their work as the President and his/her office. But we should also work hard for a brighter future. Also have a good laugh.

    I'm convinced that every night majority of this show was done on the fly.

      yes indeed, that's why he rips up his interview cards when his guests appear. He prefers actual conversations and reactions...and of course improv.

      The later seasons were. The earlier ones obviously had some measure of planning.

      And that was what made it so magnificently and preposterously hilarious. What’s funnier than two intelligent, creative, and really funny people playing off each other’s ridiculous and random remarks and having as much fun doing that as we had watching them do it?

    Man, whenever I'm feeling a bit down I'll toss on some late late show and it always resets my mood. It's like comfort food to me, thanks for keeping these on the internet, you two were the best late night pair of all time.

    You and Craig got me through a lot of very, very hard days in the early 10s. Even the worst parts of life don’t seem quite so bad when you know you’re going to laugh yourself to sleep every night. ❤
