Twelfth Doctor Wishes Craig Ferguson was one of the first to suggest a replacement for Matt Smith, who will depart Doctor Who after this year’s Christmas special. Craig tweeted:
If anyone was asking me – and they’re not – I’d propose young master Rupert Grint for the next doctor. #gryffindorfuckyeah
Meanwhile, Craig has added a new avatar. It’s a bit of surprise to see a picture of a cat from an avowed dog person, but the Scottish headwear adds a certain flair to his feline persona.
And Tyler Too Steven Tyler will be on Monday’s Late Late Show. The last time he visited Craig, the two got real talking about lives as creative artists, and playing the mouth organ.
