SCHEDULE CHANGE:  Due to Election Day coverage on CBS, Tuesday’s Late Late Show episode will be an encore presentation of the October 7th show, with singer Toby Keith and comedian Louie Anderson.  Lewis Black, who had been scheduled for Tuesday will now appear on Wednesday, along with actress/singer Jayma Mays and the previously announced musician Dr. Dog.  Stephen Fry is no longer listed on the schedule this week but we’ll let you know when he returns.

Several robot skeletons have been asking when actor Matt Smith (of Dr. Who fame) and actor Ewan McGregor will appear on the show.  Their names have appeared and disappeared from some lists.  Here’s what we know:  Smith has been confirmed by LLS producer Michael Naidus for November 16th and McGregor is tentatively scheduled for November 12th.  Many of the other schedules floating around out there can be out of date.  We always try to have the latest guest information here, so when in doubt, please check with us first.  We list each week’s schedule on our Monday post (usually posted late Sunday evening) and update daily with any changes.

Craig appears live on stage in Los Angeles with Lewis Black on Tuesday night.  If  any RSA folks are in attendance, please let us know.  Craig’s stand up comedy show comes to San Diego on Friday and Riverside, CA on Saturday.

The folks over at TVSquad.com are talking about what might happen to the late night wars with the return of Conan O’Brien to the competitive landscape.

Las Vegas comedian Geechy Guy (Michael Cathers), who performs the Dirty Joke Show at Hooters Casino says he’s been invited to record a segment of the LLS on Wednesday, which has been reported in the “Strip Scribbles” blog and tweeted by the man himself:  Heading to L.A. to tape the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. #vegas @dirtyjokeshow We’ll let you know when his segment is scheduled.

Even Entertainment Weekly caught wind of this past weekend’s hashtag fest with #moviesinmypants and wonder aloud if we have Craig to thank for it.  From what we can tell, Craig didn’t tweet anything with the tag.

Geoff Petersen likes AMC’s show The Walking Dead:  @WalkingDead_AMC looks like a big hit. I wonder. Could they use — ahem — a certain extra? Or is that just type casting?

Supporters of preserving the historic Cumbernauld House in Craig and Lynn Ferguson’s hometown are getting more press, this time in The Evening Times, a national newspaper in Scotland.  You can follow them on Twitter @CumbernauldHous or on Facebook.  Which reminds us that RSA News is now on Facebook as well.  We hope you’ll “like” us and like us, too!  And remember, it’s your community, so you can post on the wall.

To repeat the schedule change noted above:  Tuesday’s Late Late Show will be a repeat of the October 7th show, with singer Toby Keith and comedian Louie Anderson.  Lewis Black, who had been scheduled for Tuesday will now appear on Wednesday, along with actress/singer Jayma Mays and the previously announced musician Dr. Dog.

Thursday’s schedule remains intact with Dick Van Dyke and Kerry Washington.  And as we posted earlier, Friday’s show will feature singer/actress Juliette Lewis and author/philosopher Cornel West.  No other schedule changes are expected this week.  Whew!
