A Busy Time for Craig

Craig Ferguson has five all new shows this week. The volcano is buzzing about his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno coming up on Wednesday.Â Craig’s newest film, Winnie The Pooh opens on Friday in a theater near you.Â Craig still has four appearances on stage this month and continues to work on screenplays in his spare time.Â And don’t forget, we’re just three weeks away from the Paris episodes on the Late Late Show.Â At all sounds like a typical summer for our fearless leader.

New Openers

Michael Palascak

Joe Matarese

With Randy Kagan busy working on his new web-based show, Craig tapped two comedians to be his opening acts over the weekend. In Atlantic City on Friday night, Joe Matarese warmed up the capacity crowd. And in Hammond, Indiana on Saturday, Michael Palascak started off the show. Both Joe and Michael have appeared on national television and radio and both were getting lots of compliments from roboskellies on Twitter this weekend. Welcome to Joe and Michael!Â Randy is expected back for Craig’s shows in Toronto and Boson later in July.

Craig in a Podcast Along with doing stand up, comedian Joe Matarese does a podcast and had Craig as his guest on Friday evening, recorded immediately after the show.Â PLEASE NOTE:Â Joe talks with a friend of his for about a half hour before he gets to Craig but it is worth the wait! Your Stories and Pictures If you have pictures from either the Atlantic City or Hammond shows, or want to share your story with the rest of the RSA, please let us know!Â We’re happy to post your contributions here on the website. The In My Pants Game

The lovely Stephen Fry took a spin at the In My Pants game on Twitter, using movie titles while he was waiting in the Los Angeles airport for his flight back to London on Sunday. Lots of roboskellies played along.

Josh Having Fun

The voice of Geoff Petersen, Josh Robert Thompson posted a fun video Sunday:

He added this on Sunday evening:

I grew up an only child who played w puppets in his basement. Now I’m a gay robot on @CraigyFerg. Old habits die hard.
