DC Special
After playing to a sold-out crowd at the Chicago Theater on Thursday evening, Craig Ferguson will present two shows on Friday evening at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC. Josh Robert Thompson returns as Craig’s opening act. Both performances will be recorded, and the best of both will be edited together to become Craig’s new stand up comedy special. If the past is any indication, the special will debut somewhere on cable television early in 2013, then after 90 days become available on Netflix, then be released as a DVD later in the year. As details of those dates are decided, we’ll pass them along to you.

Fun in Chicago
Craig & company enjoyed their time in Chicago on Thursday. The president of Craig’s production company, Rebecca Tucker, tweeted a pair of photos. The first arrived in the morning:
