Craig To Appear on Nerdist TV Show Earlier this week, the @Nerdist Chris Hardwick taped a pilot episode of a new panel talk show for BBC America, based on his popular podcasts.  Among the guests for his first-ever show was the one and only Craig Ferguson.  We have not seen a specific date when the show will air but we’ll keep an eye out for it and let you know.  Until then, there are some behind-the-scenes photos from the show including a couple with Craig. The Scots on Brave The UK’s Daily Record talks about the making of the Disney/Pixar animated film Brave and how its makers strove to weave Scotland’s Highlands seamlessly into the story.  The Scotsman.com has a story about the film’s composer.  Craig voices the character of Lord Macintosh in the film, due out in July of 2012. Coverage of Craig and Neil The websites ComicsAllicance.com and SFX.co.uk caught Craig’s interview with author Neil Gaiman.  Even Craig’s occasional guest Phil Plait (@badastronomer) chimed in:

Nice job on @CraigyFerg’s show, @NeilHimself! But Craig, I need to lecture you about the Coriolis force for an hour or two though.

Shades of Oz Geoff Petersen tweeted on Thursday:

Pay no attention to that @joshrthompson behind the curtain. I am my own robot. Okay, gay robot. Okay, gay robot skeleton.

Is that a beaded curtain, Geoff?  Meanwhile, Craig has surpassed three quarters of a million followers on Twitter.  That means he is among the top six hundred users on Twitter in terms of followers and the RSA continues to grow by the day!
