Stand Up Show Added
Craig has added a stand up comedy show at the National Grove of Anaheim (near the Angels stadium) in Anaheim, California on Thursday, July 24 at 8pm. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, July 1 at 3pm ET/Noon PT. You can see complete details and links on our Live Comedy Tour page.

We are told that a couple of shows looked like they might be added for Denver, but that they were taken down from the venue’s website almost as quickly as they appeared. If those dates are added back again, we’ll let you know.

Great Guests Ahead
As we head into the month of July, it’s another television ratings “sweeps” period, so Craig Ferguson and The Late Late Show are planning a great group of guests after the holiday break, including Carl Reiner, Kelsey Grammar, Sloane Crosley, Margaret Cho, Nicole Richie, Elijah Wood, Julia Ormond, Octavia Spencer and more. Be sure to check out the complete listings on our Guests page.

Craig on the Road
There was no taping of the LLS on Wednesday this week, because Craig was in Las Vegas to promote his new game show Celebrity Name Game, which debuts this fall. Attending the ProMax conference, which is a gathering of promotion managers from local television stations across the country, Craig talked about the show and how he hopes it will appeal to a wide audience. One attendee, @Jeffrey_Funk from a television station in New Orleans, got a great picture of our fearless leader. Thanks to the RSA’s @Colleen_Byrne for the heads up!

Have You Been?
The RSA’s @MaxCap60 sent this tweet to Craig and Josh Robert Thompson recently, asking a question about a long-running joke on the show:

Taping Break

With the U.S. Independence Day holiday ahead, the LLS is taking a couple of weeks off from taping new episodes. We’ll be getting a visit from the re-run fairy June 30 – July 4, followed by some new, pre-taped episodes July 7-11. During the week of encore presentations, we’ll take a break and return on July 7 as new, fresh-frozen shows resume. Thank you as always for your support and we’ll see you on the 7th!
