Bing Hitler Record Time is running out on an Ebay auction for a rare copy of Craig Ferguson‘s record from his days performing as Bing Hitler. The record contains “The Sheep Song” and “Scotland Och Aye.” Our thanks to @SariesWick for spotting the auction and letting us know. Will a lucky roboskelly win the bid? News for Robot Fans A pair of stories are making news for robotics fans this week. First, Ralph McQuarrie, who helped design the Star Wars characters Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO, died Saturday at the age of 82, as reported on MSNBC.com. Thanks to the RSA’s @doxieone1 for the heads up.  And on the other side of the country, the AFP news agency is reporting that robotics experts at the Pentagon have designed a robot “cheetah” that can run at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour. Thanks to the RSA’s @spiny_starfish for the link! An Interesting Family Name The RSA’s @RaniVermonty noticed a film released in 2011 called The Great Ghost Rescue, which features a family of ghost characters known as the Craggyfords. Sounds a lot like “CraigyFerg” doesn’t it? Who Streams The RSA’s @LoveAllThingsUK sent us a tip that Series 6 of Doctor Who is now available for streaming on NetFlix. Now is your chance to get caught up on the latest season with the eleventh doctor, Matt Smith, before the start of the new series later this year.
Brave Trailer and Poster – Japan The newest trailer for the Disney/Pixar animated feature film Brave has been released, along with a new poster. These are for Japan, and emphasize the mystery of the film more than the humor showcased in the American trailer. Best of all, it shows portions of scenes we have not seen before, complete with English subtitles. Thanks to the RSA’s @MissGraoully and many more skellies for giving us the heads-up. Video courtesy: Disney/Pixar Tonight’s Guests Tuesday on the Late Late Show, Craig talks with actor and host of E!’s The Soup, Joel McHale and in a last-minute schedule change, comedian Dan Boulger‘s appearance has been moved up to Tuesday night.  On Wednesday, watch for actress Susan Sarandon and comedian Rondell Sheridan.

Guest Update

The list of confirmed guests for the Late Late Show has been updated through March 20th, including changes with Dan Boulger and Rondell Sheridan as noted above. It also includes the addition of comedian Geoff Tate. You can find the most current listings on our Guests page.

CORRECTION: In an earlier version of our most recent post, we mistakenly included a clip of actor/impressionist James Adomian during one of his many appearances on the Late Late Show, portraying George W. Bush. Mr. Adomian is alive and well and the clip was not of impressionist Steve Bridges, who passed away earlier this week. We have replaced the clip with one of Mr. Bridges performing on the Tonight Show. We apologize to Mr. Adomian and regret the error. We strive for accuracy at all times and appreciate every comment, suggestion and correction request from our readers.
