Nominate Craig for a People’s Choice AwardThis year, you can vote to nominate Craig Ferguson for a People’s Choice Award! As some longtime robot skeletons may recall, last year a write-in campaign had to be mounted because neither Craig nor Jimmy Fallon were listed as possible nominees on the list. We were among many who were quite vocal in our displeasure to the People’s choice committee who had apparently decided not to include hosts whose shows started after midnight. But it appears they were listening, because this time the list of choices is longer and Craig is among them. Our best guess is that Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien are almost certain to be three of the five final nominees, which means Craig will have to best Fallon, Andy Cohen, Carson Daly, Chelsea Handler, David Letterman, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel to make the fourth or fifth open spot and move on to the final vote. It is worth noting that Fallon, Kimmel and Handler all have active fan bases, so we’ll have to work hard. Vote early and often on the People’s Choice Awards website.
