Craig in Vegas
We’ve received word that Craig may be scheduling some live appearances in Las Vegas last this year. As soon as we get confirmation of dates, we will include them on our Live Comedy Tour page.

Scotland Shows
The folks at CBS opened the publicity floodgates on Monday afternoon, posting a news release that details five upcoming episodes of the Late Late Show in Scotland. As we’ve been reporting here since getting word of the tapings earlier this spring, Craig Ferguson will give us a tour of his native country May 14th-18th. After taking some heat recently for criticizing his hometown, Craig said, “This whole trip to Scotland, I can’t tell you how lovely it is. How great the people are, how beautiful the towns are. I’m shocked… my memory is completely wrong!”

Among the guests during the week will be Mila Kunis, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rashida Jones, David Sedaris, Ariel Tweto and Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond. Also on the schedule are local Glasgow rock band The Imagineers, who will perform one of their own songs as well as their rendition of the Late Late Show theme song.

Craig will visit Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cumbernauld and the historic city of Arbroath. He will show us Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Calton Hill, Glamis Castle and Kelvingrove Art Gallery, as well as his childhood home and high school.

Among the media covering the CBS announcement of the shows are BroadwayWorld.com, the Sacramento Bee, Yahoo and the Chicago Sun-Times.

CBS also released some photos from the week, featuring Craig and some of his guests:
