This is the moment when an incredible funny show became the best tv show ever

Though Craig liked the robot idea of course, there was no guarantee JRT would actually be a live speaking sidekick. After a tentative, not always successful week of nightly interactions (including a bit making Geoff the "guest"), this segment put the question to rest, and the "tweetmail" segment became consistently the funniest thing on TV. Changed everything. Legend!

History was made with this show. 'I gotta place there... you should come over!' Ingeniously funny.

One of the single best moments in television history

I love rewatching this knowing this was what sealed the deal and made the live Geoff Peterson a permanent thing on the LLS ❤

I remember watching this episode that night and laughing for half an hour because Craig lost it on the tweet-mail segment. And it's been saved on my DVR ever since. Damn, I miss Craig's show. Thanks for posting!

This was the best talk show in the world AFAIK, and Craig Ferguson the best talk show host; no one else could have made it so well and entertaining.

"It's like having Tony Shaloub back on..." I'M DYING! That was awesome!

Alexander Zhivkov - but this episode was Tony’s last appearance, even though Craig’s show was on for another 4 years. And previously he had been on every 1-2 years. Why do YOU think he never came back? 🤔

This is what got Josh his permanent slot doing Geoff live.

I thought he cemented that role while the show was somewhere else, on the proverbial road. At least that's what I remember reading. They had to have him do it live (goddammit!) because they weren't in a studio or something. I'd also like to take this opportunity to say they should have called the robot character Josh Robot Thompson. Ya see what I did there!?

For the better part of a year leading up to this, after the character was first created, Josh would do a number of prerecorded phrases triggered off an IPad by head writer Bob Oschack in studio tapings, but did several "field segments" such as movie premiers where he'd operate and voice Geoff live interacting with people, leading up to a segment they taped in Vegas one weekend with Craig where the two "riffed" for the first time. It went so well Josh asked Craig if he could do it in studio, to which Craig enthusiastically approved, something they both felt for a while was the next evolution of the character, but which the writers and producers would discourage when prompted. They did it for the first time the following week, 4/14/2011 was the date, you can find it on here, Kristen Bell was the guest (once again), and they continued doing it sporadically on and off leading to this show a month later that cemented the role, as you said.

11:40 is where legends were made

Craig had me ROLLING in this episode!!!

*This episode was one of the Classics of these two Geniuses :D*

Thanks so much for uploading these!

Ohhhh this is THAT episode 😂❤️

It’s important to also watch the show before this. Where Julie Andrew’s talks about having a place in the Alps and said she goes there at least once a year and they Craig should stop by some time.

After the historic Geoff / Craig "I got a place there" banther, the passive/agressive Tony Shaloub interview with an awesome ending. Now thats what I call good TV.

Two very extreme chats. Sloane is just a lovely guest.

Not sure how they'd do now, but I would absolutely love to see Josh and Craig (and Secretariat) go at it again

I'm annoyed that you ask me about finances. Oh my wife went shopping in Morocco. She bought me this shirt.

that "How dare you"... Oh, man :D :D

Sloane was such a breath of fresh air after that awkward "conversation" with Tony. I know some people see it disrespectful to ask about money but I'm sure Craig didn't mean anything by it. When Tony said what he did about not being back for a long time, I'm thinking, "Because obviously you're a bloody drag." 😂

Adorable Tony Shalhoub 😍

The quality matching on Kim Jung Il's face to "his" body seems awfully good compared with the other shops they've done

"Again, family programming." Ohhh MYYYY

an amazing show; and Sloane Crosley it's like.. wow man, yeah...!.

best shit ever. cbs should've kept craig.

@@josephd9590 That's really unfair; I don't think Tony takes insult-comedy very well, and he likely couldn't tell that Craig wasn't being serious, and his feelings were getting hurt. I think he's more reserved and gentle as opposed to a 'douche', and needs a bit more tlc in a interaction :/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that Josh at 38:18 ? He is to the right of the woman clapping and his face is partially obscured. He's there for only a couple of seconds.

@@rudyredcat425 From what I can tell I would disagree, he honestly just seems like he isn't completely at home with the environment he's in. He doesn't seem to enjoy being playfully insulted, he's probably a more sensitive type, and I don't think banter is really his thing; I believe he realizes as well that the show is more relaxed and so he wants to be able to fit into that vibe and just talk about stuff, but he doesn't bounce off Craig too successfully. I think he's a shier type who doesn't blossom well on a show such as this, he's more of a subtle comedy kind of guy
