Conan O'Brien and The Late Show writers have already weighed in on the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. His competition, Craig Ferguson, takes a different angle, checking in with special correspondent Tim Meadows, who we're glad is getting work. Highlights include racial tension, European immigration, venereal disease gags and the murder of innocents. Does the Late Late Show have that laughter piped in or does everyone else think Craig's accent is as funny as I do?

Craig Ferguson is one of the funniest men alive. I stay up to watch his monologues.
This is hilarious. I loved Tim Meadows on SNL.
Pure winnery.
wow that was fucking awesome
LOL ... that was great ... best one so far!
Good stuff, Ferguson is definetaly underrated.
Craig Ferguson is awesome and underrated, the audience can laugh a bit too often though.
Craig Ferguson wants teenagers to get crabs
I liked the conan one better
I keep hearing 'Turd' every time I hear Ferguson...
His accent is wondrous!
What's wrong with crabs...
I mean shooting people? =D
Not bad, i liked the conan video better though.
Tim Meadows is hilarious! I don't know why he didn't amount to much after SNL. This is easily one of the best video game comedy sketches ever!!
now, bloody thumbs i get.... but what the hell was he doing to rub the rest of his fingers raw?... on one hand... ew
Sleazy Eurotrash dirtbag who moves to America! LOL That part cracked me up well good :D
This is better (funnier) than any of the crap you see on most European television, talking Germany and UK here.
Tim Meadows for President!
Never really heard of Turd Ferguson before,but the skit was funny!
@.endejas.: @GyrFal: Yes. Yes he is.
Personally, I think CBS is holding him back.
I love Craig Ferguson and Conan O'Brien! Don't care much for Jon Stewart, though. These guys crack me up!
good times. wow, it just hit me. i havent been watchin late night shows for awhile now! i miss'em all...
That was really funny actually.
That was actually funny. I never really like Craig Fergusons stint as a talk show host. I always thought he should have stuck to Drew Carey, as well as Drew Carey sticking to Drew Carey. Tim Meadows probably found his gig in late night talk shows. The Ladies Man was pretty funny, but I was none to fond of his act on SNL, but that's besides the point, but that's besides the point. GTA 4 has given late night talk shows something to talk about other than other celebs and the news, then again GTA is always in the news. Wait, now I'm confused. Nice skit, Craig, nice...
That was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Definitely want to watch more of this guy.
@Candlejack: America does make it slightly easier for shows like these. In the UK at least there's not the massive media controversy over every GTA release like they get in America, the daily mail goes a it mental about it but that's about it everyone else reports it once and forgets about it.
Craig Ferguson, meh. Tim Medows, Hilarious! He is also awesome in Walk Hard.
@PowdrdMilkMan:
"You never once paid for drugs, Dewey. Not ONCE!"
I rather enjoyed that. Thanks for the laughs.
Mmmm that wasn't my bad of tea.
That was actually pretty bad.
"...does everyone else think Craig's accent is as funny as I do?"
That's a Weegie (Glasgow) accent! I love Scottish accents.
That was a funny bit too.
I'll tell you one thing: they've got better gun-fire-syncing sound effects than The Soup.
cheap jokes!
So there are no Giant Enemy Crabs in GTAIV?
Is it just me or is that slimline case not an actual copy of GTA IV?
That was fucking great. Better than the Conan one for damn sure.
"Midnight on a weekday? I'm usually prettyyyy... drunk. Yeah, I likes to drink."
Best part. These guys are both great, but Tim Meadows is just plain hilarious.
Ha! That's the full power of competition between late night shows.
@RaptorShadow:
Perhaps they didn't want to give preference to either the PS3 or 360 version? Might be what a review copy looks like though
Do they have an open bar for the audience...? Gee-zus, I don't even laugh that hard when I'm drunk or high. (OK, maybe I do and I just don't remember.)
@Candlejack: French TV have actually some good good stuff, but its in french...
Way funnier than the Conan O'brian skit. 'Craig Ferguson wants teenagers to get crabs.' LOL
@Candlejack:
This is better (funnier) than any of the crap you see on most European television, talking Germany and UK here.
s'funny, I was watching through that clip thinking to myself "I can only assume this guy moved to the US 'cause he couldn't cut it on UK television with that cheap slapstick humour". ;-)
(Not that there isn't a lot of worse stuff on UK TV; there most certainly is. But the best is far, far better than this.)
Ferguson needs to get back on the sauce.
Hahaha that was so funny!
Grand Theft Audio..yes. "This sort of talk is just a right wing propoganda" *Pulls out 38. snub ~ POP* Good stuff right there.
Cragin wasn't that funny and the accent doesn't make me giggle cos I hear it everyday and i won't get any work done if i did.
but that reporter was funny, he was on a roll.
:3
That was actually really well writen. Funny as hell.
I like how the game cover was platform agnostic, LOL. Someone was careful when the made the video. :D
Conan O' Brien hosts Late Night, not The Late Show.
@Bichatse: Really? What would you consider the best then? When I think UK TV, horrible images of Jeremy Kyle or Katie & Peter Unleashed flash in the back of my mind. Horrible.
It's Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
LATE NIGHT.
Pff, I can't even get credit for posting this here and tracking down the video.
You're welcome, ya cheeky monkeys.
Totally LOLLED.
great to see a comedy that isn't afraid of using politically incorrect humor...keep it up :D
