Craig Tweets Craig Ferguson took a long Twitter break a couple of months ago but lately has been tweeting more frequently. A couple of weeks ago, he spotted a familiar face:

Today I’m wearing my glasses that make me look a little like @gregproops. I driving on Fairfax & I SEE HIM !

He followed up with a tweet directly to the comedian:

Hey @GregProops there was guy on Fairfax today outside the post office who looked really like you. You should litigate. #doppelgänger

Craig later added:

I think the guy I saw outside the post office today actually was @GregProops. #thestarstheyrejustlikeus #theygotothepostoffice

And Proops eventually did see Craig’s tweets and responded:

@CraigyFerg I think the guy I saw outside the post office today actually was @GregProops. It was me and yes I bought stamps.

Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for spotting the reply. We mentioned last week that actress Betty White let it slip in a newspaper interview that Craig will be appearing on her TV Land sitcom Hot in Cleveland. Craig confirmed the guest gig with a tweet and a photo:

Doing a little extra work here this week. I’m still in love with Betty White. pic.twitter.com/SnRPiSz0ge

Last weekend, Craig retweeted a funny photo from a fan and joked about it:

RT @Richpo64 @CraigyFerg pic.twitter.com/Chz74OqHXq How odd. This is what I was thinking.

He also acknowledged the comedy award he’ll receive in June in Canada:

Craig also drew attention to the recent Los Angeles Times article about his boss:

A lovely article about my dear friend and mentor http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-75350681/ …

More Than Tweets When Craig isn’t tweeting, he’s quietly helping out with some of his favorite charitable causes. Last week, he visited the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. A Twitter user named @CullenDoug thanked him for being there:

@CraigyFerg Thanks for visiting CHLA today. You put smiles on my family’s faces #latelateshow
