Live at Largo
For those who are fans of seeing our fearless leader Craig Ferguson perform live and person, here’s your next opportunity: Craig will be taking his SiriusXM radio show to Largo in West Hollywood on Thursday, May 25th. Largo hosts musical acts and comedians, and has been the site for podcasts in the past. Tickets are general admission, and seats will be assigned before the show on a first-come, first-served basis. The show says more details will be announced soon, including guests. We’ll update you as we hear more.

Guests Ahoy
Upcoming guests on the show include Melissa Rivers, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kristin Chenoweth, Egyptologist Kara Cooney (at left), Shirley Manson, Kunal Nayyar, and Craig’s dentist Dr. Laurence Rifkin, plus on Thursday, April 20th, they promise a “surprise” guest. We’re guessing it’s a surprise because no one has been booked yet, but shhh! It’s the magic of radio.

Animal Instinct
Craig will be taking part in a charity event on May 6th, on behalf if the Voice For The Animals Foundation, reports Broadway World. Also at the event, to be held at UCLA’s Royce Hall, will be Lily Tomlin, Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael. Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.

It’s the 80s
Sometimes, you have to take a step back in time. On Celebrity Name Game, that time is the 1980s.

A CF Town Hall
Craig Ferguson will host a special “Town Hall” edition of his SiriusXM radio show on Friday, April 7th. Recorded last week in New York, the show will air at 8pm ET/5pm PT, immediately following the regular show on the SiriusXM Comedy Greats, Channel 94. Craig’s guests will be Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, who will talk about their Netflix show Grace and Frankie, and the possibility of a 9 to 5 reunion of sorts on the show, including their film co-star Dolly Parton. Here’s a quick preview of their conversation.

Making The Rounds
Craig took advantage of being in New York for a couple of weeks, not only doing his own radio show but appearing on a bunch of other shows. After a one-day turn a couple of weeks ago, he appeared four more days on the Today Show with Kathie Lee Gifford last week, some of which you can see here. He popped up on Seth Meyer‘s Late Night show about how he’s enjoying being on the radio. He talked with fellow SiriusXM broadcaster Howard Stern about his run on The Late Late Show and more. And he spent some time with Rachel Ray, in a taped episode that appeared on Monday of this week.

Back in LA
Craig is back in Los Angeles this week, and he has an impressive list of guests coming up on the show, including Josh Robert Thompson, Jay Chandrasekhar, Katey Sagal, Kevin Pollak, Tom Bergeron, Melissa Rivers, Wendie Malick and Kristin Chenoweth.

LLS In London
The Late Late Show on CBS will be taping some episodes in London soon. TV Guide reports host James Corden will be recording three shows there soon, to be broadcast June 6-8 on CBS in the US and June 7-9 on Sky1 in the UK.

Dancing It Out
When a contest gets the right answer on Celebrity Name Game, Craig doesn’t hesitate to do a little dance.

Keeping Today On Its Toes
Back by popular demand, Craig Ferguson is co-hosting an hour of the NBC’s Today show with Kathie Lee Gifford this week, while Hoda Kotb is on maternity leave. Craig appeared one morning last week, and despite making producers nervous enough to use a five-second delay, was invited back for four more days this week; Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. He’s in York hosting his SiriusXM radio show on the road. This week’s guests include Ted Alexandro, Arite Lange and Mike Massimino. The radio show returns to Los Angeles next week. Craig also performed at a corporate event while in New York. We did not post it on the website since no tickets were available to general public.

HTTYD3 Update
The premiere date for the animated feature film How To Train Your Dragon 3, featuring the voice of Craig Ferguson, has been moved to March 1st, 2019, reports the website Counsel and Heal. Star Jay Baruchel says the third installment of the series will be “strongest story” yet.

Did You Say Emmy?
Although Craig’s game show Celebrity Name Game will end its run this spring, Craig has been nominated for a third time for an Emmy Award as best game show host. He has won the award twice before. The show has also been nominated as best game show for the first time. The ceremony, which is not televised but will stream live on the Emmys website, will take place on April 30th at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Explain That!
On Celebrity Name Game, Craig pokes some fun at French Canadians, and cannot explain Celine Dion.

Enjoying New York
Craig Ferguson and company have picked up the SiriusXM radio show and moved across the country for a couple of weeks. Instead of originating from Craig’s garden shed in Los Angeles, you can hear Craig’s golden tones from New York City. Taking advantage of the east coast swing, Craig’s guests will include Seth Meyers, Meredith Vieira, Bravo’s Andy Cohen, Sway, Joy Behar, journalist David Itzkoff, Scarlett Johansson, Lewis Black, Ted Alexandro, Artie Lange and astronaut Mike Massimino.

Both Host And Guest
Craig will also be appearing as a guest on some shows since he’s out east. He was on NBC’s Today Show on Tuesday morning during the Kathie Lee and Hoda hour. He’ll also be on ABC’s The Chew on Thursday (check local listings for the time “in your region”), and on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday, March 27th. Thanks to the RSA’s @colleen_byrne and @bgrhubarb, the first of several skellies to let us know.

Corden Considers UK Show
James Corden, current host of The Late Late Show, is reportedly considering launching a UK version of the late night talk show. The BBC says Corden mentioned the possibility during an interview with Radio Times magazine. Corden already hosts one UK show, the periodic sports-based panel show A League of Their Own, which records several episodes in rapid succession when Corden has some free time to travel home. He has also recorded a special version of Carpool Karaoke for the UK’s version of Red Nose Day.

Video of the Day
When it comes to Celebrity Name Game, it’s hard to be the celebrity combination of Sara Rue and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Guests Galore
Craig Ferguson‘s new SiriusXM radio show is moving into its second week and the great guests just keep on coming. After having Hugh Laurie on the show last week, it’s only appropriate to have Stephen Fry on this week. Also on the docket are Ben Schwartz, Angela Kinsey, “Weird Al” Yankovic and Carrie Keagan. Next week, listen for actor Judd Hirsch, actor/comedian Jermaine Fowler, Bob Saget, Joe Walsh, author Jackson Galaxy and Late Late Show favorite Kristen Bell.

Radio Show Up And Running
Craig Ferguson‘s new SiriusXM radio show is now up and running. The show debuted on Monday on the Comedy Greats Channel (channel 94), and can be heard weekdays from 6-8pm ET / 3-5pm PT. Fans will also get to see a behind-the-scenes look before each show, starting at around 5:30pm ET / 2:30pm PT, when they’ll live stream from the studio on Facebook Live. We got a sample on Friday. Sarah Paulson and Josh Robert Thompson appeared on Monday, with Elijah Wood and Louie Anderson on Tuesday. Still ahead are Yvette Nicole Brown on Wednesday, Lauren Graham on Thursday and Hugh Laurie on Friday. Next week’s guests include Stephen Fry, Ben Schwartz, Angela Kinsey, “Weird Al” Yankovic and Carrie Keagan. The website SplitSider.com did a story about the show ahead of the launch.

Hollywood in Cumbernauld
Since there’s currently a bit of Cumbernauld (the town where Craig grew up in Scotland) in Hollywood, it’s only appropriate that there’s a bit of Hollywood in Cumbernauld. The city is sometimes criticized in the UK for its grim architecture, some of which was built during the post-World War II “new towns” movement and features large concrete residential buildings. But as a recent article in the Daily Record newspaper points out, the city is becoming a hotspot for Hollywood special effects. The Wardpark Studios, most recently used to do green screen and CGI work for the television series Outlander, will now host the cast and crew of the upcoming Avengers movie Infinity War. Thanks to the RSA’s @NancyInTampa for spotting the article.

Now That Was Easy
Sometimes for practice, it helps to have an easy round of Celebrity Name Game to get used to the pressure of the clock. It doesn’t get much easier than this:
