Nashville On Sale
The Robot Skeleton Army was on the march in Nashville Thursday, as tickets went on sale for Craig Ferguson‘s January 23rd stand up comedy performance at the Polk Theater. So intense was the interest, we’re told by the RSA’s @GlitteryGirrll that within the first 30 minutes tickets were available, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center website was briefly overwhelmed with requests. Go skellies! Nashville likes Craig and Craig likes Nashville, so it should be another great show.

Backstage Tweet
A member of the audience tweeted before Wednesday’s taping and got a surprise reply from the man himself:

“@Brant_Gerald: At a taping of the @CraigyFerg show!!!”. Me too !!!

Craig also found the latest trailer for Ghost Rider 2:

Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
On Wednesday’s show, Craig and Kenneth Branagh got into a discussion of psychology, anatomy and architecture.  The part of the interview The Huffington Post enjoyed most was Craig calling out Kenneth for the whereabouts of his hand.  Meanwhile, Branagh picked up a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in My Week With Marilyn, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination.
