It’s All In The Game In an extended interview with Examiner.com, Craig Ferguson talks about the game show influences that help him approach his new gig as host of Celebrity Name Game. Et Tu, Jimmy? Since NBC is broadcasting the Super Bowl from Arizona in 2015, they’ve invited Jimmy Fallon to do a special Sunday night version of The Tonight Show live from Phoenix following the game. Remind you of anyone? (Craig has hosted two post-Super Bowl specials: In 2007 in Miami and in New Orleans in 2013, which were the two most-watched episodes of the show.) Hero Time The Magnolia Pictures animated feature film The Hero of Color City, featuring the voice talents of Craig Ferguson, opens in limited release across the country on Friday, and will be available on demand and via iTunes right away. Early reviews say it makes fine family fare. Even The Village Voice was pleased. Brain Freeze Sheryl Crow and Darren Criss explain how the pressure of Celebrity Name Game can cause a brain freeze.

If there is any breaking Craig Ferguson news, including any more stand up dates that pop up, we’ll be sure to pass them along. Then we’ll be back on Monday October 13th, as the show gears up for the big November ratings period. Thank you as always for visiting the site, and we’ll see you soon!
