Back to LA Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson‘s live stand up comedy performances drew big crowds in Wisconsin and Michigan this weekend. They’re headed back to Los Angeles for more all-new episodes of the Late Late Show, with new tapings scheduled through at least March 21st. We have not heard any official word of when they’ll be back on the road, although Craig has frequently toured in March and April in past. We’ll have an update as soon as we hear of any additions to the schedule. Thanks to the RSA’s @NancyInTampa for an archive photo of Craig spending time on the tweety box while visiting Milwaukee in 2010. Cold Weather Much of the middle part of the country has received a heavy dose of snow and cold in recent days. It has even been cold in California, although not as cold as Scotland, as Lynn Ferguson explains in a recent blog post.

Cumbernauld’s Other Favorite Son The RSA’s @MissGrauolly spotted a story in the Cumbernauld News from Craig’s hometown in Scotland, which features the area’s other best-known resident, explorer David Livingstone. The article focuses on a new book about the famous adventurer but also mentions Craig’s roots in the town. February Birthdays Saturday, February 23rd is the birthday of filmmaker W. E. B. Du Bois, actress Majel Barrett, actress Patricia Richardson and singer James Blunt.
