Craig Rules Comic-Con It’s been a busy few days for Craig Ferguson, who appeared with Josh Robert Thompson on a panel at Nerd HQ in Sand Diego on Thursday, as well as hosting a Dreamworks Animation panel. He then went on to moderate two panels on Friday, including The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones, much to the delight of the Comic-Con crowds. We saw quite a few tweets suggesting that Craig moderate every panel at the convention. And as if his week wasn’t quite complete, he also appeared at this summer’s incarnation of w00tstock, to introduce fellow geek Adam Savage from the Mythbusters. Craig’s astronomer friend Phil Plait was there as well, and got a photo of the three of them backstage. w00tstock is a nerd festival in its own right, and has been held in several different cities, including San Diego in 2013 and 2014. It’s worth noting that the proceeds from Craig and Josh’s panel on Thursday were for a good cause. They raised $6,000 for Operation Smile. Of course, the Comic-Con panels Craig moderated were not all about him. The panels themselves got plenty of coverage (containing some spoilers), including Examiner.com‘s report on the Game of Thrones panel, and Variety.com‘s piece on The Big Bang Theory panel. Most of the stories we’ve seen had nice things to say about Craig. And in a fun story from Hypable.com, we hear about Craig jokingly making fun of Aquaman, and regretting it a moment later. It’s a good thing he’s played Aquaman so often on the show. Post-Larry Interview Buzz The media were buzzing with reaction after Craig appeared on Larry King’s internet talk show on Thursday, in which he talked about his departure from The Late Late Show and some of his future plans. Mediaite.com and CapitalNewYork.com were among those doing stories about the interview. Good Morning Heartache In case you missed it on Thursday’s show, Gloria Estafan gave an outstanding performance of a great standard. Video courtesy: Gloria Estefan Official Fan TV
