Scotland Episodes Media Buzz
Leading up to Monday night’s first episode of the Late Late Show in Scotland, Craig Ferguson was interviewed by dozens of publications about the shows.  We’ve saved three of the best for last:  The New York Times where Craig talks about the differences between the shows he did last year in Paris and this year’s Scotland episodes, New York Magazine where Craig reflects on some of the things he learned returning to his homeland for the shows, and the Onion’s AV Club where the writer, Will Harris, does a great job asking a wide range of questions and getting some fantastic answers from Craig, not only about the Scotland shows but much more.  Enjoy!

Please Note:  Significant SPOILERS inside the gray box! For a detailed guide to the week’s shows, television critic David Bianculli gives us a rundown in his column for the website TV Worth Watching.  Plus some tweets and photos released today give us a peek at what’s ahead.
