Best Talk Show Host Poll
Craig has made it through to the final round of the “Best Talk Show Host” category of National Lampoon‘s Twitter Awards contest.  To help Craig take home the victory, vote for him on their page (if you can ignore the cheesy trumpet fanfare).  Winners will be announced on September 20th.

A Vote for Warrior
Craig’s assistant, Rebecca Tucker tweeted a movie recommendation:

My pick for best movie of the year? Warrior. Go see it.

Enough Time To Tweet
Craig’s sister Lynn Ferguson and her husband Mark Tweddle had a little fun on Twitter Tuesday, after Lynn made an observation about the local houseflies:

[stextbox id=”custom”]Lynn: Man, houseflys here in LA have entitlement issues. Try and swat them and they’re like, ” f@*k you” Mark: Took 4 yr old to office so @lynnfergy could get some work done, but she just swats flies & tweets about it! 😉 #imintrouble Lynn: @latweddle seems like you’re not so overworked yourself #potcallingkettle[/stextbox]

Hugh Laurie’s Album
The Wall Street Journal talks with LLS favorite Hugh Laurie about his album which went on sale in the US today, and being on the road as a musician.  Thanks to the RSA’s @HMSFox for the link.

Brian Williams Sounds Like Regis
In case you missed David Letterman’s interview with NBC News anchor Brian Williams, do yourself a favor, wake the kids, call in the family and watch this clip.  Brian tells a great story about Regis Philbin (complete with a pretty solid impression of Regis), recalling a night when the two of them flew on a small private plane to attend an awards ceremony.  And in case Brian’s Regis impression doesn’t hold up, Canada’s Metro News found four others (including Geoff Peterson) to consider.

Tonight’s Guests
Despite some outlets claiming tonight’s show is a re-run, it is in fact an all-new episode featuring actress/producer Lisa Kudrow and journalist Richard Engel.  On Wednesday, Craig chats with actor James Marsden and Chef Wolfgang Puck.
