Craig at ComicCon Craig Ferguson had the best job at the 2013 San Diego ComicCon, as host of the Doctor Who cast and creators panel on Sunday. Chosen for being one of the show’s most visible and unabashed fans, Craig had fun with the crowd and moderated the interaction with the capacity crowd. He even played the video of his famous Doctor Who musical opening from the Late Late Show as a bonus. BBC America, which airs Doctor Who in the U.S., kept a running tally of great quotes from the eleventh doctor, Matt Smith at an earlier panel Friday at the convention. The website has complete coverage of Doctor Who-related events at ComicCon. There were at least two liveblogs of the event if you’d like to read along, one from the Huffington Post and the other from Hypable.com. ScreenCrush.com has a summary and so far, Zimbio.com seems to have the definitive photo collection. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb, @MissGraoully, @NancyInTampa and more for scouring the Googly-web and the Face-tubes to find these gems.
ComicCon Tweets Leading up to the panel discussion on Sunday, Craig was tweeting from San Diego:

When you stand next to Spider-Man at a urinal and he passes gas loudly it’s kinda depressing #sdcc #yesilookedathiswiener #spidery

He followed that with a Star Wars/Highlander reference:

Saw a storm trooper in a kilt. Only one. Apparently there can be only one. #SDCC2013

And of course, he showed off his convention name tag:

I think “professional” is a bit of a reach. #sdcc. Thanks @BBCAmerica #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/cK8rttK7Y5

Meanwhile, at least a couple of fans were able to get photos with Craig:

SDCC Star Photos All this week, Entertainment Weekly has been posting portraits of some of the stars attending ComicCon, including Matt Smith with his new short haircut and the doctor’s current companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman. At least one YouTube user has been posting videos of the major panels throughout ComicCon this year, but we have not yet seen the Doctor Who panel discussion online. If it is posted, we’ll include it here. However, no matter what we post, the clip will NOT contain the video preview of the series’ 50th anniversary episode. Series Executive Producer Steven Moffat asked that none of preview be released outside of room, and we’ll honor that request. Tackling Relationships In a monologue from 2005, Craig tackles the issue of relationships. Video courtesy: ParnoidFellow
