First LA, Then the Road
It will be a busy week for Craig Ferguson, who begins his week in Los Angeles taping a pair of episodes of the Late Late Show on Monday and Tuesday before heading out on the road. He’ll be at the Chicago Theater on Thursday night and then heads to Washington, DC on Friday to record his new stand up comedy special. As he has done in the past, he’ll perform two shows before the cameras on Friday. The better of the two will become the foundation for the special, but if various parts of the other show have a bit that sounds more sharp or gets a bigger laugh, he’ll have the ability to edit in segments of the other as needed. By taping both shows, they’ll also have more raw material for shots of Craig at different angles and views of the crowd. Josh Robert Thompson will again open for Craig and get the crowds rolling. Craig & Company then get a break through the Thanksgiving holiday and return to LA for new episodes of the Late Late Show on November 26th.
