Craig Live

Craig Ferguson will be performing live at the Venetian in Las Vegas, September 13th, 14th and 15th. So far, the casino resort has not put any tickets for the show on sale, but we’re keeping our eyes open for any developments. As soon as an on-sale date has been announced, we’ll pass it on. In the meantime, you can see Craig live and in person at shows around the eastern US this fall. Tickets for those shows are on sale now, just by clicking the links on our Live Comedy Tour page.

Python Olympics
With the Olympics opening in London on Friday, the Wall Street Journal considered how the Games might be if they had a Monty Python theme.  Surely there would be a “silly walks” event.

Minnie Driver
Actress Minnie Driver, who has been playing a recurring character on producer Lisa Kudrow‘s show Web Therapy, is on the LLS Tuesday night.  She tweeted:

Hey Americanites, I’m on @craigyferg tonight. He is a v. old friend so will probably just be talking about my Mum and traffic.

Colin Mochrie
Also appearing on Tuesday’s show is Scottish-born Canadian comedian Colin Mochrie, best known to American audiences from the improvisational show Whose Line Is It Anyway? hosted by Drew Carey and featuring regular performers Ryan Styles, Wayne Brady, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, Chip Estin and many more.  Mochrie has been tweeting over the past few days:

LA [Monday] for Adam Carolla Podcast and then Craig Ferguson on Tuesday. Listen, watch and learn why I never get asked to do talk shows // On @CraigyFerg [tonight]. Well, on his show. Since the restraining order, can’t lay on him anymore, // Trust us With Your Life ABC 9-10?…check. Craig Ferguson show CBS? …check. Black and red squares?…checkerboard

We think Colin and Craig will make an entertaining pair on the show.

The Best of Colin
Among our favorite roles for Colin on Whose Line is when he plays the role of a newscaster and comes up with fantastic puns for the top story. Here are two of his best:
