Early Screening of HTTYD2
If you’re in the greater Los Angeles area in June, you’ll have a chance to see the DreamWorks animated feature film How To Train Your Dragon 2, featuring the voice of Craig Ferguson, a few days earlier than most. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be screened as part of the L.A. Film Festival on June 9th, two days before the festival formally begins and four days before the film opens worldwide on June 13th.
Late-Night Changes
Conan O’Brien has re-signed with TBS to continue his late-night show Conan through 2018, reports The Wrap, solidifying the comedian’s place as the face of the cable network. Meanwhile, comedian Larry Wilmore of The Daily Show has been tapped to take over Stephen Colbert‘s 11:30pm Comedy Central timeslot, when Colbert departs at the end of the year in preparation to become the new host of The Late Show on CBS. As The New York Times explains, the show will be title The Minority Report and have a new format.
Lynn-Sanity
Craig’s talented sister Lynn Ferguson is hosting a fundraising event for LA’s Rouge Machine Theatre, a group that promotes the work of aspiring playrights and staging contemporary shows. Meanwhile, the public radio program The Moth will feature one of Lynn’s own spoken-word performances recorded last September. If you have not heard it, we urge you to listen. Lynn’s skill as a storyteller is on full display; stark and stunning.
The Internets
In this monologue from 2005, Craig talks about “the Internets.”
