The Hollywood trade paper Variety reports on the new Disney-Pixar film Winnie the Pooh and has kind words for Craig.  [pullquote]Craig Ferguson’s turn as the plummy, loquacious Owl reps the starriest addition to an expert voice cast…  –Variety[/pullquote] The Hollywood Reporter offers another early review.  The film debuts in France on April 13th, the UK and Germany on April 14th and the US July 15th.

TVSquad.com liked Jeffrey Tambor‘s “dirty” conversation with Craig on Thursday night.

Host of E!’s The Soup and frequent Late Late Show guest Joel McHale will perform at the Chicago Theater on June 17th.

Friday on the Late Late Show, Craig welcomes actor Paul Giamatti and actress Casey Wilson.  The full guest listings have been updated through April 15.

Note:  A few skellies have expressed disappointment that the Late Late Show was not among this year’s winners of the George Foster Peabody Award.  You should know that the Peabody is a very prestigious award focused primarily on journalism and is extremely difficult to win once, let alone twice.  For most, it is a once in a lifetime honor, so we can be very proud of Craig, Executive Producer Peter Lassally, Producer Michael Naidus, Director Brian McAloon, Segment Producer Lisa Ammerman and everyone at the Late Late Show for their impressive win in 2010.
