Day Two in Paris
Monday’s “Le Late Late Show avec Craig Ferguson” featured a whirlwind tour of the city including an inside look at the Eiffel Tower and a bus ride with Jacques “Arthur” Essebag.  Tuesday’s show promises more in-depth interviews with people we say on the first night, including actress Kristen Bell and French actor Jean Reno, plus an appearance from comedian Eddie Izzard. LLS Producer Michael Naidus tweeted:

Tonight from Paris: Craig tours Montmartre with Eddie Izzard, Michael Caine sings in the rain, and the greatest Belgian magician ever.

Part of Monday’s whirlwind tour was courtesy of Secretariat.  The RSA’s @003lili was there when some of the Secretariat segments were being taped and used her camera to captured Craig dancing and walking along with our favorite horse:

Meanwhile, the RSA’s @MissGraoully sent us some new images from the day, behind the scenes at the bookstore and with Secretariat.

Kudos for Craig
Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker was impressed with Monday’s “Le Late Late Show”.  And the Boston Herald chuckled at Craig’s mid-show book signing at the Wilbur Theatre on Sunday.  In case you missed Monday’s complete interview of Craig on The Talk, we included it in our most recent post.

DVR Alert: Due to Presidential coverage during the day today, the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless is being shifted to early morning in some markets around the country for tonight only. From what we’ve heard, it will be airing after the Late Late Show but this could vary “in your region”.

Josh Says Thanks
The voice of Geoff Peterson, Josh Robert Thompson thanked Craig for saying nice things about him on Monday’s episode of The Talk on CBS:

Thanks @craigyferg for the nice mention on today’s episode of “The Talk.” Yes, Virginia, I AM @GeofftheRobot. #RSA

The Opening Song
For those curious about the opening song used on Monday’s show, it was performed by the briefly popular Belgian singer Plastic Bertrand, whose real name is Rodger Jouret. The RSA’s @dorindaletitbe did some research on him and both @S_e_g_o and @SexyCraigFerg sent us links to videos. Perhaps most interesting is that when translated, the lyrics are nonsense.  But it’s still a catchy tune; one that may have stuck in the head of a then 16 year-old Scot named Craig Ferguson.

Gaga Goes After Gunn
After Tim Gunn (Tim Gunn) criticized her meat dress on Friday’s show, Lady Gaga shot back during her appearance on ABC’s The View on Monday, disparaging Gunn’s comments about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s trademark pantsuits.




Lots of Doctors
The BBC America Anglophenia blog talks about Matt Smith‘s desire to have an episode of Doctor Who featuring several previous doctors together on the screen.  The article also mentions Smith and Karen Gillan‘s appearances on the Late Late Show.

Tonight’s Show
Tuesday, on “Le Late Late Show” in Paris, Craig talks with actress Kristen Bell, comedian Eddie Izzard and French actor Jean Reno.  CBS tweeted:
