Geoff’s Beginnings
Back in March of 2010, robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson was only an idea. When the Mythbusters Grant Imahara challenged Craig Ferguson to find him a bunch of new Twitter followers, he promised if he reached his goal, he’d build Craig a robot. After putting out a call to his robot skeleton army of Twitter followers, Craig boosted Grant’s follower numbers past his goal in only a couple of days. National Public Radio interviewed Grant about building Geoff for his debut in April of 2010.
