Oh Canada!
Starting this fall, the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson can be seen every weeknight at 12:35am on Global TV in Canada. An exact start date was not mentioned in the reports we’ve seen but September would be a safe bet. Global made the announcement at its annual meeting with advertisers, which was reported by tmcnet.com, cnw.ca (a Canadian news wire service) and The Hollywood Reporter.  Craig is already on the Eleven network in Australia… now we need to get him on in the UK!

Booking A Guest the Twitter Way
Craig opened a dialog on Twitter Tuesday with British comedian and writer Charlie Higson.  We’re not sure what the initial bet is about but here’s the back and forth:
[stextbox id=”custom”]@monstroso Hey Charlie. Am I wrong or do you owe me a fiver?

@CraigyFerg you can whistle for it pal.

@monstroso Wheee. I’ll let you off with it if you come on my show in America and plug your books.

@CraigyFerg I am booking the flights now…. actually I was planning to come out to NY in July. Is that where you’re based now?

@monstroso. nah LA. But it’s pretty close.[/stextbox]Higson added a tweet he later deleted that basically said, hey if you’re serious, let’s make it happen.  So perhaps on a future Late Late Show, we can find out what the bet was all about.

After that exchange, another actor named Jonathan Kydd chimed in:

@CraigyFerg Hello Craig. I see you is now de man. We did the Ferguson Theory 17 years ago! Halp!

We haven’t seen a response from Craig but it’s certainly proof of how Twitter can connect people.

Seattle Pictures
Voice actor Bob Ball (@BobBallVO and BobBallVO.com) was at Craig’s stand up comedy show in Seattle on Sunday and took several pictures:

Thanks, Bob for sharing them with Craig’s robot skeleton army!

 

 

 

No More Daleks?
A story in Britain’s Sun newspaper stirred up some Doctor Who fans, when it was reported that the doctor will not longer be facing his longtime enemies, the daleks.  The show’s top writer, Steven Moffat tweeted a clarification that he only meant that the daleks won’t be featured this season… not that they are gone forever:

Daleks: I was talking about THIS series. Stand down.

Tonight’s Guests
Tuesday on the Late Late Show, Craig chats with actor Ray Romano and author/TV host Dr. Lisa Masterson.  On Wednesday, Craig talks with soccer player David Beckham and actress Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Australian comedienne and actress Rebel Wilson has been added to Friday’s guest lineup and shows for the upcoming hiatus are starting to get scheduled. Take a look at our Guests page for the latest.
