Craig on Sesame Street

The season premiere of Sesame Street is coming up on Monday, September 26th and among the new guests to pay a visit to public broadcasting’s most favorite avenue will be Craig Ferguson. We’re not sure on exactly which date(s) Craig will appear or whether he taped a single segment or more. We do know that the producers of the show, the Children’s Television Workshop have posted a clip with Craig.  Thanks to the RSA’s @bbrom00 for the heads up.

If you want to be surprised when it airs for the first time on television, don’t click on the arrow below. If you do, enjoy Craig spending some time with Elmo and some chickens:

New Tweetmail Jingle
Craig and company have produced several fun tweetmail jingles, including examples with western, hair band and Euro-pop themes.  And now a new one is ready to be released, as Craig tweeted Monday:

Holy crackers! Just saw the new Beatles themed tweetmail jingle. Almost competent! We’re on our way #secondpeabodyforsure. #assmode

Craig Trading Card
Geek-A-Week trading card artist Len Peralta tells us that the Craig Ferguson card could be released sometime this week and that he will keep us posted.  Once it’s available, we’ll link to it here.  He added that he would love to be able to present Craig’s card to him on the show.

Duran Duran Coming to LLS
One of the biggest bands of the 80’s is still going strong.  Duran Duran tweeted Monday that they’ll soon make an appearance on the Late Late Show.  A date has not been announced but we’ll keep you posted.  Thanks to the RSA’s @RamonaLeigh for spotting the band’s tweet:

@duranduran just finished soundcheck for “Leave A Light On” on Late Late Show (Craig Ferguson). Air date – TBA!

Coquette Productions Is Optimistic
In a story on Monday’s USA Today, Courtney Cox was interviewed along with her estranged husband, David Arquette about his upcoming run on Dancing With The Stars.  In the article, Cox mentioned that the production company she and Arquette still own and run together is hoping CBS picks up their new game show (to be called either Celebrity Name Game or Identity Crisis, depending upon whom you ask), with Craig as the host.  The network taped a pair of pilot episodes of the show earlier this summer but there is no word on if or when those shows might air.  Observers say the network might order some episodes as a mid-season replacement but it has not appeared on any schedules so far.

Tonight’s Guests
Monday on the Late Late Show, Craig talks with political commentator Keith Olbermann and actress Kelly Macdonald. Olbermann tweeted:

Delightful time as always with my friend @CraigyFerg and we took this to send to you “on the Tweety” http://twitpic.com/6nlk9h

Tuesday, watch for actor Harry Connick Jr. and actress Kathryn Hahn.

Upcoming Guests

New guests have been added to the list for future dates, including comedian Nick Griffin, Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, Lily Tomlin and Duran Duran.  As always, you can see the latest listings on our Guests page.
