From The Panhandle To The Left Coast
Craig Ferguson helped the Florida State Seminoles celebrate their homecoming with his stand up comedy show on Friday night, before heading south to Fort Myers for his Saturday night appearance at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall.  We’re told that several robot skeletons made the trip to Tallahassee and we’re hoping to hear their stories and maybe even see some pictures from the show.  Are you going to the show in Fort Myers or in Hollywood, Florida this weekend?  Let us know and share your stories with the rest of the Robot Skeleton Army!

Craig on the Tweety
Craig was tweeting backstage before and after the show in Tallahassee on Friday night, first sending out a photo of his hotel room:

http://twitpic.com/7fwgla My shagadellic hotel room in Tallahassee FLA. I might have to move here.

He then re-tweeted some comments from fans and added his own spin:
[stextbox id=”custom”]“@amyentendu: Sitting next to old drunk people with @ktgmoney to see @craigyferg :3” Sorry. I think it might be relatives of mine.

“@Edgar_Allan_Coe: @craigyferg to take the stage soon! My pants are literally itching in anticipation. I think” mine too. I hope.

“@chickey93: waiting to see @CraigyFerg. I’m the farthest away from the stage I can be :(” run down front & say ur with the old drunk peeps[/stextbox]
One fan, @starting_out, tweeted:

@CraigyFerg is tweeting backstage while I’m tweeting about him being backstage. OMG. That shit cray, Ferguson.

And Craig added:

Put feathers in my hair to try & be Seminole-y for FSU powwow but I just looked like an old lady who had recently been attacked by a pigeon.

He even sent a picture of the crowd, taken from the stage:

Robin and Comedy
AOL’s TV Reply enjoyed Craig’s conversation with Robin Williams about the dangers of offending with comedy.

Anime With A French Twist
The RSA’s sharp-eyed @shomangaka spotted a Toyota commercial for Japanese television which features none other than Craig’s French actor friend Jean Reno in the role of a popular children’s manga character Doraemon.  Watch for him to pop out of a drawer at the end of the ad:

Thanks to AnimeNewsNetwork.com for posting the clip and an in-depth description of the ads and the campaign.

Tonight’s Guests
Friday on the Late Late Show, Craig chats with actor/comedian Don Rickles and actress Beth Behrs, while Geoff Peterson is voiced by LLS announcer Shadoe Stevens. LLS Producer Michael Naidus tweeted:

Check out @DonRickles with Craig tonight as several lucky audience members find out the “benefits” of front-row seats!

After Craig wraps up his Florida road trip, he and the team at CBS Television City have the week off for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Thanks to the magic of television (and the wisdom of pre-recorded segments) we’ll get to enjoy three all-new episodes of the Late Late Show Monday through Wednesday.  That will be followed by a pair of visits from the re-run fairy on Thursday and Friday before new episodes resume on Monday, November 28th.

Guest Update

The guest list has been updated through December 2nd with the addition of country singer Justin Moore and the band NEEDTOBREATHE.  Actor Parker Young has been added to the future tapings list and we’ve learned that Geoff will be voiced by a guest for three more episodes next week.  Thomas Lennon will operate the bony sidekick for all three shows.  See the most up-to-date information on our Guests page any time.
