Nominations End For People’s Choice
The nomination round for the People’s Choice Awards has wrapped up.  In every category, including Best Late Night Host, the votes cast over the past month will be counted and the top five finalists will be announced in early November.  If Craig is one of the five finalists, you will be able to cast your vote between November 8th and December 6th and the winner will be announced live on the CBS telecast, January 11th 2012.  We’ll keep you posted.  Meanwhile, frequent Late Late Show guest Kaley Cuoco has been tapped as the new host of the awards show.  As HitFix.com reports, she replaces longtime host Queen Latifah who had the gig since 2006.  And who hosted in 2005?  Why, none other than Craig Ferguson.  Kaley tweeted:

Thanks for all the #PeoplesChoice love! I’m very excited and will do my best to make you giggle. And not change the channel.

Owl Carefully Crafted
The RSA’s artistic @HoboRobot has come up with a fun version of Craig’s character of Owl from Winnie The Pooh.

Facades in Thackerville
The WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma has played host to Craig’s stand up comedy show and despite its location away from big cities along the Oklahoma/Texas border, attracts other big name acts as well.  A blogger for the Oklahoman newspaper talks about the casino’s efforts to draw big names and included Craig’s observations about the facility’s “world” themed appearance.

Tonight’s Guests
The Late Late show on Thursday and Friday will have all new shows (albeit taped earlier) even though Craig is on a break this week.  Thursday, Craig talks with actor Kunal Nayyar, who tweeted about his busy day:

Tonight watch me with the awesome Marc Steines on ET!Then a scary good episode of @BigBang_CBS!Finally-a footalicous time with @CraigyFerg!

And CBS added:

2Nite #BigBangTheory’s @kunalnayyar visits @CraigyFerg, plus Anthony Head stops by on #LateLateShow, 12:37am ET/PT

And on Friday, Craig’s guests are actress Olivia Munn, comedienne Judy Gold and 80’s band Duran Duran.  The RSA’s @T4booboo was in the audience the day the segment with Olivia Munn was taped and sent us this:
[stextbox id=”custom”]Be sure to remind everyone to pay careful attention to Craig’s greeting and welcome back chat when Olivia Munn “drops in” Oct 28th. The segment was filmed impromptu immediately after her segment from Sep 14th. I’d say smitten would be a good word for how Craig was behaving! As soon as they “ended” the segment, Michael approached the bench and they had a short secret chat. After the meeting Craig announced that they were going to film another segment for a later date since he liked her so much (which was obvious). So naturally their clothes (and her bright blue shoes) were the same, and how they kept from busting up laughing during the “Oh, it’s so good to see you again, it’s been a while …” interchange, I’m not sure! Although we had to wait an extra hour in the inside hallway before being seated, getting the Moulin Rouge Dancers, Danny DeVito, and two (not one, but TWO) Olivia Munn segments made it all worthwhile.[/stextbox]
