I don't specifically remember that episode of the late, great, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, but EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE of the people's princess was magical.

They played off each other so masterfully and both were just their honest selves.

She gave him a set of novelty dried kangaroo testicles on one visit that he regifted to a woman explorer with MS who was going to North Pole.

Craig was, and still is, the master of 1 on 1 interviews.

Conan comes close in his podcast, but doesn’t quite reach the same level

Most late shows the start of the interview meant bedtime.

For Craig, it was usually the highlight of the show.

Conan's podcast is fantastic in that regard. I never watched his show much for a variety of reasons, but I can't get enough of his podcast.

Craig's podcast is nearly the same level as his talk show, but it's really dependent upon the guest. Diedrich Bader was quite entertaining.

They kinda swapped roles on the podcast circuit 😀

Craig is going for deep conversations and Conan is completely off the hook.
