New Puppy
Craig recently got a new dog, and shared a photo with his Twitter followers, the Robot Skeleton Army. He even changed his avatar to include the new pet.

This youngster is the newest member of my family. His name is Spike and he can kick your ass.

Lip-Sync Battle
The promotion has begun for the new season of Lip-Sync Battle, which will feature Craig this year. The RSA’s @chandlersdame spotted a new video, which includes Craig with the rest of this season’s stars, performing a Michael Jackson classic. The show debuts Wednesday, October 12th on the Spike cable network.

Wool Worth in the North Atlantic
The folks at Google Street View haven’t made it to the remote Faroe Islands, halfway between Scotland and Iceland in the North Atlantic. The islands are a self-governing part of Denmark. And as Scottish television network STV reports, local residents have outfitted sheep with cameras to follow the roads and create a record of images. They call it (we’re not making this up) Sheep View 360. Now that’s a shear-ly delightful solution.

A Friend-ly Game
On Celebrity Name Game, they’ll often play a warm-up game or two behind the scenes with the celebrity guests to get them used to the format. And although she has played before, Lisa Kudrow was delighted to play a bonus round with the show’s Executive Producer Courtney Cox. Maybe the topic was a little bit easy for the duo:

‘Name Game’ Is Back
Craig Ferguson‘s Celebrity Name Game is back in full swing, with the launch of season three this week. With more than 300 episodes under his belt, Craig knows exactly what he’s doing:

Phone Glove
Back in his first comedy special, A Wee Bit O’ Revolution, Craig talked about a possible new invention called the “phone glove,” which would be a wearable mobile phone, with a speaker in the thumb and a microphone in the pinky finger so you could talk on the phone just by doing the familiar “holding the phone” gesture. As it turns out, Craig should have patented the idea when he had the chance. The RSA’s @Superwholock96 recently tweeted about the product:

It finally happened…….. @CraigyFerg #AWeeBitORevolution

Yes, they’re for real. Made by a company called Hi-Fun, they use Bluetooth to connect to the phone in your pocket.

Praise for Corden
Now rolling through his second year as host of The Late Late Show, James Corden has enjoyed some solid successes, not only on television but online, where some of his most popular sketches draw millions of views… in fact, a billion overall views since his debut. Over the summer, Corden has been interviewed by dozens of publications, including the Daily Beast and an in-depth piece in Rolling Stone.

Craig Goes Southern
The legend of Honey Boo Boo and her sometimes indecipherable accent lives on with Craig on Celebrity Name Game.

‘Name Game’ Third Season Starts Monday
The third season of Craig Ferguson‘s popular game show Celebrity Name Game begins its third season on Monday, September 19. Sometimes paired with Family Feud and sometimes standing on its own with back-to-back episodes each day, the show has done well. It draws more than a million viewers, and continues to be one of the best-performing game shows on television. Celebrity Name Game is syndicated to most television markets around the country. Check your local listings for the time and channel “in your region.”

Craig on the Interwebs
Craig is making a couple of appearances via the Googly-web Face-tube this week. The first is as a guest on the Turned Out a Punk podcast, available on iTunes and Audioboom. And the second will be an appearance on Chelsea Handler‘s talk show on Netflix, scheduled for Friday, September 16.

More Stand Up Dates
Craig has added more stand up dates, including Milwaukee at the Riverside Theater on November 4, and a charity event in Grand Rapids, Michigan the following night, November 5. The Grand Rapids event is a fundraiser for the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, which provides inpatient care for children and adults who have experienced a brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, or other injury or illness requiring physical rehabilitation. Thanks to our ever-watchful band of hobos, we often hear about new tour dates before they appear elsewhere. You can find these and Craig’s other appearances on our Live Comedy Tour page. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for the Milwaukee tip and the RSA’s @pinkbirdie48840 for the heads up about Grand Rapids.

Top of the Mark
Comedian Mark Forward, who has frequently opened for Craig on the New Deal Tour, has been touring his solo show across Canada this summer. He recently appeared at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, where Paste Magazine named him one of this year’s ten best acts. He’ll be in Kitchener, Ontario this Saturday, September 17th.

Craig Welcomes The Damned
One of the advantages of having your own television show is the ability to invite artists that you really like to perform. As Craig himself explains in this clip, one of the bands made him a fan of punk rock was The Damned, so he had them appear on the show. And when he did, he had them play the song that introduced him to punk. Thanks to the RSA’s @chandlersdame for finding it!

Chicago, Pittsburgh Added
Craig Ferguson‘s New Deal Tour will be covering a lot of ground in a short time this fall. Already scheduled to appear in the Northwest with stops in Tacoma, Snoqualmie and Reno, last week Craig added Kansas City to the list to visit the middle of the country. And this week, new stops have been added in Chicago and Munhall, Pennsylvania just outside Pittsburgh. Craig has appeared in both venues before and always draws a big crowd. Based on a recent tweet, our fearless leader may be aiming even further east in 2017. He hinted that he might tour outside the United States. We’ll keep you posted, and include all of the venues, dates, times and links to tickets on our Live Comedy Tour page.

Cutting Tracks
Craig isn’t just getting ready for a new round of his stand up comedy tour. He was also one of several celebrity voices to lend his voice to a tongue-in-cheek dance single by alternative rock artist Amanda Palmer and Brendan Maclean called On The Door. Also contributing to the song were Ben Folds, Patton Oswalt, Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman and many more. It’s pretty catchy. Take a listen.

Michael and Bill
When Bill Nye The Science Guy debuts his new show Bill Nye Saves the World on Netflix, the executive producer behind the project will be none other than Michael Naidus, producer of The Late Late Show during Craig’s run. The show will use scientific know-how to dispel myths and anti-scientific claims. Comedian Mike Drucker is the show’s head comedy writer and astronomer Phil Plait is head science writer. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for connecting the dots!

On Gower?
Sometimes, Craig just tells it like it is, and explains the truth behind Tarzan. Celebrity Name Game starts its third season on September 19. Check your local listings for the time and channel “in your region.”

The most recent addition to the tour calendar is the Folly Theater in Kansas City, Missouri on Thursday, November 3rd. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 2nd at 10am. You can see the most up-to-date listings of Craig’s upcoming appearances on our Live Comedy Tour page. The RSA’s @Colleen_Byrne was the first to spot the listing!

Baby Picture Time
Prepare to go, “Awww.” Craig’s longtime hair stylist Tuyen Tran recently had a baby, and now that Craig is back in the U.S., he had his first chance to meet ten week-old Elizabeth Tuyen Huynh. Thanks to the RSA’s @ApocalypticScns for spotting it!

Ferguson Vs. Leno
In a late-night war years in the making, Craig Ferguson will finally get to take on Jay Leno. Not with dueling shows of course, but in a lip-sync battle! The competition show, which is a spin-off from Jimmy Fallon‘s lip-sync battle segments on The Tonight Show, airs on the Spike cable network. We have not yet heard a date when the show will air, but if you live in or will be around the great Los Angeles area on September 17th, you can go to the taping. Tickets are available here. Secret insider tip: For those of you who pride yourself on being part of the “audience machine,” they’re paying audience members 50 bucks. Thanks to longtime RSA member @mark_ca for the heads up!

Red Nose Sketch
Speaking of Jay Leno, for those of you who missed Craig’s appearance as host of the U.S. version of Red Nose Day back in May, you may not have seen the opening segment from the show featuring Craig and Jay. Thanks to the RSA’s @Chandlersdame for reminding us about the video.

New Tour Dates
Craig Ferguson tweeted Monday that he’ll be hitting the road again this fall, for stand up comedy performances around the country. As we reported last time, Reno is already on the list for October and the Pantages Theater in Tacoma, Washington was added for the same week. Tickets for both shows are on sale now. Craig also mentioned Chicago in his tweet. We’ll pass along the venue, date and time as soon as it’s confirmed. We keep track of all of Craig’s appearances on our Live Comedy Tour page, so be sure to check back for the latest links and details.

Dana’s Doing Well
Actress Dana DeLorenzo, known to Late Late Show fans as the semi-regular character Beth the “network executive” who hung around the studio being annoyed and charmed by Craig in equal measure, is now best known for her role in Ash vs Evil Dead on the Starz network. Recently, she was interviewed by Nick D on WGN Radio in Chicago, where she talked about her current show and her work with Craig and Company. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for spotting it!

Second LLS Spinoff
Earlier this summer, Apple TV announced it would air a spinoff series based on the Late Late Show’s popular Carpool Karaoke segments, produced by but not starring LLS host James Corden. Now, a second segment from the show is being spun off into its own series. As The Hollywood Reporter explains, the cable network TBS has ordered a new show based on Drop The Mic, which will feature celebrities facing off against each other in a rap battle, with the audience choosing a winner. A host has not yet been announced.

Lost In The 50s
Just how old is Craig, anyway? A contestant ventures a guess on Celebrity Name Game.
