Craig and Josh PanelPetco Park
UPDATE: In addition to hosting a pair of panels at Comic-Con next week, Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson will be appearing on a panel of their own. While many of the Comic-Con events take place at the convention center, this panel will be at what’s being called “Nerd HQ” at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres baseball team. For the past few years, a group called the Nerd Machine has hosted a free festival during the same week as Comic-Con. Last year, they drew more than 30,000 people and had panels, television guests, gaming demonstrations and more. Craig and Josh will be appearing at 1:30pm PT on Thursday, July 24th, just one day before Craig hosts the Game of Thrones and Big Bang Theory panels at Comic-Con on Friday. All proceeds from NerdHQ events go to Operation Smile. Tickets go on sale Sunday at noon PT. You can find the link for tickets and other details on our Live Comedy Tour page.

CNG Gets Chicago Timeslot
CNG Blue slThe new game show Celebrity Name Game hosted by Craig debuts on September 22nd on television stations across the country. Because it is a syndicated show rather than one produced for a specific network, it will appear on many different affiliated and independent stations. You’ll have to check your local listings to find the time and channel “in your region.” One city that knows when it will get to see Craig is Chicago, where it was announced this week that the show will air weeknights at 10pm CT on WGN-TV, followed by a half-hour of Friends. As an independent station, WGN is also available on many cable systems across the country, so even if CNG isn’t available on a nearby local station, you might still get to see it and get a dose of Craigy goodness in the late evening.
