Big Show in the Big Easy
Craig Ferguson & Company spent the week new New Orleans, taping segments for Sunday night’s Super Bowl special, which will air after your late local news on February 3rd. While in the city, Craig tweeted up a storm:

In New Orleans getting ready for the Super Bowl special. Got my home comforts #snakecup pic.twitter.com/MHaRJFPx // pic.twitter.com/jBENygO0

The president of Craig’s production company, Rebecca Tucker got an extra gift while in New Orleans.

glad @craigyferg has giant scottish head – i swooped in with my normal size head & took his new too-tight hat #hopefullynoheadcooties

Once the taping was wrapped up on Wednesday night, the Late Late Show crew stayed in town for a while to absorb the atmosphere of Mardi Gras and the pre-Super Bowl festivities. Craig was enjoying his stay so much, he decided to get another tattoo (or possibly two, since he believes an odd number of tattoos is best).

He even tweeted a comment from the tattoo artist:

“I have no idea who y’are but y’all seem too cool to be on TV” Ed – Tattoo artist @Eltnola New Orleans. #bestcomplimentever

The tattoo shop tweeted about the visit:

And Rebecca Tucker tweeted at the end of the evening:

Thanks Electric Ladyland Tattoo! pic.twitter.com/H2v9t1ZQ

Later, Craig set the scene as he relaxed in the hotel lobby, listening to music.
