Mothers Day Greetings
Craig Ferguson sent out a Mothers Day tweet on Sunday:

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers and Happy Birthday to all Don Rickles although there is of course only one.

That’s true. “Mr. Warmth” Don Rickles turned 85 on Sunday. You can read more about him on Wikipedia or check him out in action on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Writer Mandi Bierly at Entertainment Weekly mentions Craig in her Mothers Day article.

SNL Gets Craig
Craig got a mention in Saturday Night Live over the weekend. Thanks to the RSA’s @NancyInTampa for spotting it. The mention of Craig comes at about 4:10 into the sketch (right near the end).

Bend it Like ‘Becca
Craig’s assistant Rebecca Tucker was enjoying herself at a Galaxy game:

Seeing david beckham mere feet from me at galaxy game makes me wish I had become a soccer fan much sooner

Cake for Craig
The RSA’s @SunnyAnnie84 has started up an idea for the RSA to give Craig some cake for his birthday… or rather, virtual cake through the internet.  Take a look at her page for instructions on how you can participate!

We Like Craig Just The Way He Is
