Craig Takes a Break
Craig Ferguson is off this week, spending a little time in his native Scotland before returning to the US next week for a another string of all-new episodes of the Late Late Show.  For LLS fans, Craig and company did leave two all-new shows in reserve, which we’ll see on Thursday and Friday.    Those who had a chance to see Craig live and in person over the weekend are still basking in the glow.  The RSA’s @colleen_byrne took lots of pictures like the one at right and a tweet from the RSA’s General @Malinky2Stoatir says it all:

An evening of Craigy in the flesh, meeting members of the wonderous #RSA & a lovely day w/ an awfully adorable geek… *sigh* #contentment

Praise for Craig
The Stamford version of AOL’s Patch reviews Craig’s Friday appearance on stage.  And a reviewer on Huffington Post writes about Craig’s DVD Does This Need To Be Said?

Talk Takes Tyler

The Examiner online news service reports that Aisha Tyler will be joining the CBS daytime show The Talk, and notes that her previous talk show experience includes an audition for the Late Late Show between the two Craigs.



Help For Vermont
Hard-hit by Hurricane Irene, Vermont is still in the process of recovering.  To help support the cause, author Neil Gaiman and singer Amanda Palmer (both of whom will be on Craig’s LLS Halloween show) are offering VIP tickets as part of a charity auction.  Neil tweeted:

Bid on LA, SF, Vancouver & Seattle VIP tickets to AN EVENING WITH @neilhimself AND @amandapalmer for VERMONT auction at [link]
Craig Interviewed by Arthur
Thanks to our Euroskelly pals, we’ve finally uncovered the interview portions of Craig’s appearance on Ce Soir Avec Arthur.  Up until this point, most of what had been posted were the comedy bits in between interviews along with the dance number.  This week, we’ll have the three major interview segments, starting tonight with Craig’s introduction and an explanation of his affection for France.
