A Busy Week
Craig Ferguson has a busy week ahead, taping at least three more episodes of the Late Late Show to fill out a week of all-new shows.  Then Craig hits the road, flying to New York for some talk show appearances before heading on to Canada.  Here’s a look at his schedule:

• Monday:  Tape two shows at CBS Television City, Los Angeles 3/4:30pm
• Tuesday: Tape one show at CBS Television City, Los Angeles 3pm
• Wednesday:  Guest on Late Night with David Letterman – New York City CBS 11:35pm ET/PT
• Friday:  Guest on The Today Show – New York City NBC 7-11am (most likely 8am hour)
• Friday:  Guest on Live with Regis and Kelly – New York City Syndicated
                 (check local listings for time and channel “in your region”)
• Friday:  Live stand up comedy show – Massey Hall, Toronto 7:00pm
• Saturday:  Host at Just For Laughs Comedy Festival – Salle Wilfrid Pelletier Montreal 7/10pm
• Sunday:  Live stand up comedy show – Wilbur Theatre, Boston 6:00pm

Most of the Late Late Show crew will start their summer break after the taping in Los Angeles on Tuesday; Craig’s break starts after the Boston performance on Sunday.  Luckily for fans, we get one more week of all-new shows after that, August 1st-5th with the episodes taped in Paris!  Then it’ll be a couple of weeks of encore presentations before new shows resume on August 22nd.

Josh on Geoff
The voice of Geoff Peterson, Josh Robert Thompson was answering fan questions on Twitter Sunday, hinting that he and/or Geoff may pop up in future stand up shows with Craig and coming up with a great superhero name:

RT @nhdrumline11 Any chance we’ll ever see Geoff go on a stand-up tour? // Possible. You may even see ME.

RT @NCcoastgrl If Geoff could be a superhero, what would be his name be? // The Bone Ranger.

Craig in Hammond
The RSA’s @bgrhubarb has posted a collection of pictures she took during Craig’s recent stand up performance at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN.  We still have seen no photos and heard no stories from Atlantic City and would enjoy seeing them.  Let us know if you were there.  And if you’re planning to be in Toronto, Montreal or Boston, don’t be shy!  Share your experiences with the RSA by using our Contact form.


New Who Preview
The website dailyblam.com has two preview clips for the upcoming second half of the sixth series of Doctor Who.

This Week’s Guests

Karen Gillan

It’s another week of all-new episodes of the Late Late Show beginning Monday, when Craig welcomes back legendary comedian Don Rickles and fashion designer Tim Gunn (Tim Gunn).   Tuesday, actor William H. Macy and Doctor Who actress Karen Gillan are on the show.  Wednesday, Craig chats with actress Mary McCormack, and golf analyst David Feherty.   Actress/Producer Lisa Kudrow and Author Ben Mezrich are on show Thursday.  And on Friday, watch for the eleventh Doctor Who, actor Matt Smith and comedian Ted Alexandro.

Spelling Note
After spelling Geoff Peterson‘s name with an ‘E’ (PetersEn) on the credits since he first arrived in April of 2010, the show now lists him in the credits spelled with an ‘O’ (PetersOn).  Thanks to @bgrhubarb for screen-capturing the change.  In our efforts to stay accurate and consistent with the show, we have been using the ‘E’ spelling but will switch to the ‘O’ spelling as of today.  The ‘O’ spelling has been used on Geoff’s Wikipedia page, Twitter account and other locations for some time, so we’re happy to see they’ve settled on a consistent spelling.
