Excitement Builds
Excitement is building for the launch of Celebrity Name Game hosted by Craig Ferguson. Craig appeared on the Today Show on Wednesday morning, talking with Kathie Lee and Hoda about the new show. He’s on Bravo’s Watch What Happens: Live at 11pm ET Wednesday night, and he’ll be on ABC’s The Chew on Friday, which airs at 11am or noon in many cities. Check your local listings.
Vintage Craig
While prowling the interwebs for Craig-related items, the RSA’s @cozyhobo found a radio interview from 2006. Craig talks with the morning show crew at WPLJ in New York about The Late Late Show and life in Hollywood. Craig’s portion starts about four and half minutes into the clip.

Note To Our Email Subscribers
Our email subscribers have not received their daily emails for the past couple of days. The reason for this is a big change happening across the internet on how email providers authenticate email. Just because someone sends you an email with an email address on the “from” line, doesn’t mean it actually came from there. To help combat that problem and fight spam, many providers now require an authentication process. Essentially, if your email server gets an email it thinks is from us, it checks back with our server to make sure it really did come from us, using a complex encryption key and a separate file with authentication rules. If the rules and the key match, the email arrives safely in your inbox. If they don’t match, it gets returned to us as an error. A couple of major providers made a change earlier this week that suddenly stopped all of our emails, so we’ve been working to fix it. We have now updated our servers to use the encryption keys and authentication rules that comply with the latest guidance from the people who run the internet (kinda like Craig’s “people in charge of show business”), which we hope will allow the emails to flow freely again. If it doesn’t work in the next day or two, we’ll consult our vendors to see if there is anything else we can do. The good news for you is that you don’t need to change anything on your end. If we’ve done everything correctly, emails should be back up and running. We appreciate your patience as we figure out how it works.
Craig Ferguson‘s Celebrity Name Game launched across the U.S. and Canada on Monday, with a single episode in some markets and two back-to-back shows in others. In New York City, the show is on WPIX-TV at 7:30 in the evening. The station interviewed Craig to ask him about the new show, as did WGN-TV in Chicago, which carries the show at 10pm each weeknight.
