Photos from Radio City
Craig Ferguson played to a huge, enthusiastic crowd at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Saturday night. Josh Robert Thompson opened the evening with a 20-minute set including many of his impressions. As he departed, a video clip of Geoff Peterson introduced Craig, who arrived with the “RoBotQuettes,” a leather-clad version of Radio City’s famous Rockettes, complete with a high-kicking dance number. The crowd was loud and appreciative throughout the evening, greeting and leaving Craig and Company with thunderous applause. In the audience were many robot skeletons, hobos and other Craig fans from around the world, some of whom shared their photos of the evening with us:

Fan Stories from New York
The RSA’s @queenvanna put together her story and a great collection of pictures on her blog. Check it out!
The RSA’s Janet saw the show and said:
[stextbox id=”custom”]I had a great time at Radio City Music Hall tonight. I bought my tickets last December, the 10 month wait did not disappoint. It was indeed a great day for America — or New York City at least. Josh Robert Thompson was a great opener, leading us through “Here come the players, they’re so fine,” then doing a very funny set of impressions. Live Craig is a lot less “creepy” playing to a less intimate audience than a television camera. He was very funny and We didn’t have to guess what was bleeped out — at home viewers pretty much guess correctly anyway. I won’t go into details so as not to spoil the fun of audiences at future shows, but rest assured, you’ll love it.[/stextbox]
And the RSA’s Joe tells us:
[stextbox id=”custom”]Great show at Radio City tonight. Josh had a great opening set. Loved his Aahnold and Bob DiNiro impersonations! Craig killed with his baby’s stories and his alcoholic bits were dead on. I’m sober 24 years myself after drinking 19 years and missed my home group’s meeting to catch Craig’s show. But listening to Craig was like a really funny share at a meeting and I smiled on the Metro North ride home to Yonkers. Thanks for that![/stextbox]

The Connecticut Post interviewed our fearless leader about working on the Late Late Show and his stand up comedy act. The Lewisboro Daily Voice also briefly previews the show in Ridgefield.
No Kicks on the Carpet
Last month when Craig attended the CBS fall season launch party, he was asked about his planned show for Radio City Music Hall. Thanks to the RSA’s @joannapowers2 for the link!
