Watching this makes me wish I could've had an opportunity to sit and talk to Desmond Tutu. May he rest in power.

Impressive when a funny person gets calm and shows his/her intelligence in other form. Bravo, Craig!

(Apologies if this is not right written, english is not my first language)i love how Craig always thinks less of himself, but every time that he talks to someone more "intelligent" than him, he dont even try to be at the same level of intelligence, he is always at the same level. he was always right when he used to said "i'm not a talk show host" because he was not, he was better than that.

My favourite part of this interview is at 21:50. The silence as they wait for Father Tutu to finish his story is staggering. Completely enthralled by this man. We are so lucky to have him. EDIT: Father Tutu passed away in December 2021. We are so lucky to have had him.

Sad to say, this is my first time listening to him. I am also one of those people as you described the audience, silent waiting on every word . The way he described how in a way to deal with evil , and how the woman who was in icu for months after that grenade, is actually making me look at my own self . I came here via watching Craig’s interview with Morgan Freeman , like 7 interviews of them, and Craig and Morgan talking about Nelson and how Craig interviewed Father Tutu. I’m glad I came here for this. Just over halfway and loving this.

I watch this video again and again time after time! When everything around is nuts (worldwide that happens more and more often) - this talk gives hope!!! Thanks to both of those beautiful people!!!

What a fantastic human being, and a great guest. The Archbishop has such a wonderful sense of humor. Craig said in a speech that Archbishop Desmond Tutu was the guest that made the biggest impact on his show. He also stated he believes the show got better after his appearance. I am so happy you've shared this wonderful episode.

You all know Craig got a Peabody for this episode. But do you know that this man was also the Ultimate Flirtmaster? He's that good.

A Nobel prize-winning bishop with a deliciously evil cackle, and a talkshow host who can quote Thomas Aquinas. And he LISTENED! In a way I don't think I've ever heard any talkshow host listen before, with the possible exception of Michael Parkinson. And they hardly mentioned religion once. They didn't need to. It was humanity.

Tutu is like Yoda, starts out jokey and then hammers down the wisdom and truth

I cannot imagine other late night talk show hosts responding the way he did. Desmond Tutu was the once in a lifetime guest. Thanks TJLF for this.

Thank you for uploading this. Remarkable and uplifting, I am not ashamed to say that Craig's interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu did bring a tear to my eye, in a good way! Plus the remarkable Jody Williams who is absolutely spot on regarding sexism and attitudes towards women who are just as capable, if not more so, than men in the fight against injustice in the world. Craig Ferguson has proved once again his ability to get the best out of his guests. Thanks again!

This interview had me discover Desmond Tutu and I am thankful for that endlessly. Also Craig was just so good at this. Thank you so so much for posting this interview. You helped me find an amazing man. Bless you. ❤❤❤

Amazing interviews ! Very inspiring!

Great interview! Well done both!.

Craig...what a blessing to have had the conversation with Archbishop Tutu.

Craig you are a great interviewer.you can say whatever, but ( perhaps due to your Scottish background) you trascend goodness.

TJLF, thank you for the Jody Williams spot, too. It was good to see someone who had done as much as she did and got the recognition for it, having such a good sense of humor with Craig. I did learn one very important thing with that interview. If I was a vampire and I walked up to a woman that had kangaroo testicles hanging around her neck, I would definitely run the other way. Thanks for another great upload. =D

I love Tutu's description of Mandela, it's something I've always aspired to do in my life. Be kind.

My goodness what an infectious laugh

I can see exactly why Craig was changed by Tutu- amazing interview.

When this episode aired on CBS, I wasn't in the mood for "serious talk" so, I skipped it entirely. I have since been considering searching for it on KZread. I didn't search, but it was suggested to me today. I sort of remember some of the first few words, so I must have watched a little bit (I'm listening as I type this comment). I do intend to actually watch and listen to the entire interview this time. Thank you, KZread for suggesting it.

That outro: even when he's not in the room, he gets a laugh.

Makes him stand out more. This is not a criticism of American comedy, merely an observation.

The interview with Desmond Tutu made me remember my time in the military. All those horror stories he tells are just the norm in so many places throughout the world. People would always throw the negative politic BS questions at me about so-n-so's agenda, we're only there for oil (never saw a single oil well), etc. Let me tell you, when people cry uncontrollably, because they're so happy to be safe now. "You can't imagine what it was like before you came....". Things like that. I tell you, that's something you can never explain to sensationalists, and spin doctors. I never fought for our freedom; I fought so that others could have the same, or at least a slice of the types of freedoms we have.

As a Canadian I am alternately entirely proud and deeply ashamed of things my country has done in its history, but I can't quantify the actual good or bad brought about by those actions. I don't think anyone can truly say exactly what impact individual actions had on our history, the best we can do is learn from both the good and bad decisions made so none of that bullshit gets repeated ever again. All that said, I didn't specifically know the detail you spoke of and it is certainly reassuring that not every white dude in that time period was a total scumbag.

Remaining with the topic at hand - we were good at colonizing - or commanding groups of people throughout the world to fulfill our sordid vision of empirical domination, and in doing so we enslaved countless. So kindly refrain Mr Whitehead with your laughable revisionism. It's wildly inaccurate. Our legacy in this regard is sadly a tattered old bed sheet. Churchill sure gets a lot of credit for a blood thirsty old tyrant. And an incorrigible recalcitrant somewhat functioning alcoholic.
