Tapings Wrap Up
Tapings of episodes of the Late Late Show wrapped up for the year this week.  There are six more fresh episodes “in the can” to be broadcast during the week of December 19th-23rd and on Monday, January 2nd, giving Craig and company a nice two-week break for the holidays and a little extra time to get back home after New Year’s Day.  The re-run fairy will visit December 26th-30th.  As Craig mentioned on the show, he’ll be spending at least part of his holiday break in Scotland, including a New Year’s hogmanay celebration.

Sean Digs Betty
Sean Hayes and Craig had fun talking about Betty White and Oprah on Thursday’s show, as reported in the Huffington Post.

Images of Glasgow’s Post-Punk Scene
If you happen to be in Glasgow in the next few months, you’ll have a chance to see a exhibition of photographs from the late 1970s and early 1980s, focusing on the wild music scene of Scotland.  An article on thequietus.com explains that pictures of one of Craig’s bands Dreamboys are among the collection.

As Karen Gillan departs Doctor Who, fans including the folks at Yahoo UK are speculating about who the Doctor’s next companion might be.  Before you say, “Me!” (you too, ladies), check out their list of possible actresses to pair with Matt Smith.

Tonight’s Guests
Friday on the Late Late Show, Craig welcomes back actress Mindy Kaling and comedian Nick Griffin.  A previously scheduled guest, professional basketball player Pau Gasol has other things on his mind after the NBA voided a deal that would have sent the LA Lakers star to play for the Houston Rockets.  He may be rescheduled at a later date.
