I just happened across Kristen Stewart's interview and was wondering if you knew of any other terribly awkward guests.
It was great to see Craig take the reigns and ride the awkward out.
I remember when Belinda Carlisle appeared on the show. It was like she didn't even want to be there.
shareSarah Shahi was on, and clearly under the influence of something. It was a difficult interview.
Same with Paula Abdul.
Kristin Scott Thomas, Kate Mara, all Paris Hilton appearances...
Debbie
Craig Ferguson, "I know it's lame...it's my job!"
Great segment with Kate Mara being flirty and all. Took a sip from his cup and spit it back in. He immediately then drink from the cup. It's on youtube.
Can we make this quick? I need to give a banana to Annie's Boobs.
I thought Kate Mara looked like she was having a good time, I didn't see anything awkward. Paris Hilton was boring, "yeah" was her damn answer to everything. Ellen Page is probably my least favorite, that I recall.
shareIt was interesting to see people on there for the first time. A couple are totally baffled by the fact that the first thing he does is tear up the talking points and then just talk about whatever he wants to talk about anyways. It is funny to see how people react to this differently. I think Ellen Page didn't understand what was going on.
Some are baffled while a great many love the fact that his show is basically a break because Ferguson will barely talk about whatever they are there to shill because he hates that. Some even play along giving a 3.5 second summary of their project and then start talking about something else.
(Harrison Ford was on once where they talked about the show for 2 seconds before they talked for 2 full segments and when he asked what he was working on just just said, we 'I thought we already covered that'.) More than any other show you actually get to see the guests enjoy themselves and see them actually genuinely laugh. It was even funnier watching him with Robin Williams. You got a sense that Williams was aware that Craig had self control issues too so he didn't go quite so far off the deep end (because nobody was going to hold them back) but they still made each other laugh hysterically most of the time.
Sarah Shahi was on, and clearly under the influence of something. It was a difficult interview.
There was an author who was simply a miserable person and he did not want to be there. It was a couple of yrs ago. Not John Irving, someone more miserable! But I am blanking out...anyone know who I'm talking about?

Gina Carano.
I got news for 'em. There's gonna be hell to pay. 'Cause I ain't Daddy's little boy no more.
Ellen Page and Kristen Stewart are the two I can think of for most boring interview.
Awkward, definitely Kate Mars. IT was funny, but man was she flirty.
How Can You Destroy Your Only Hope...
She's like a soft boiled egg.
shareThis one was cringeworthy by the host AND the guest.
Craig's introduction and interviews with....(quote) "My friend, Paris Hilton!!!!"
Kevin Smith seemed to be awkward in one of his interviews. It is not like him to be an awkward speaker. I believe Craig's unusual interview technique through him off quite a bit. He was clearly expecting the usual talk show interview. It was strongly disappointing.
