Craig is Back! After taping a week of episodes of the Late Late Show in Scotland (to be broadcast May 14-18) and some well-deserved time off, Craig Ferguson returns to Los Angeles for all-new episodes of the Late Late Show beginning Monday, April 2nd.  While Craig has been taking a break from the show, he has also been taking a break from Twitter but fear not, needy tweeters.  He will most likely be back on the tweety box sometime soon. Craig Ticket Contest If you live in live in the Medford, Oregon area, you could win tickets to see Craig at the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater on April 26th.  YOU MUST live in the area where the local CBS television station KTVL broadcasts to be eligible.  Check out the full contest rules for more details.   For three days, April 23-26, they will put up a special telephone number during their morning newscast, and the 10th caller each day will will a pair of tickets.  If you are the 10th caller, you will need to come to the television station, show a photo ID and sign a form to certify that you live in the station’s coverage area to receive the tickets.  Good luck!  If you don’t live nearby, you can also buy tickets for this or any upcoming show.  See our Live Comedy Tour page for dates, times, locations and ticket links. Pantomime Cows While searching the web for information about pantomime horses like Secretariat, the RSA @hoborobot found an interesting article about the history of pantomime cows. There is a long history of four-legged creatures on stage.

Personalized Plates The RSA’s @pibbles8 found a license plate that is chuckle-worthy. New Brave Ad While we were away, a new ad for the Disney/Pixar animated feature film Brave was released: Video courtesy: Disney/Pixar This Week’s Guests Tune in for a week of all-new episodes of the Late Late Show, beginning Monday with TV host Julie Chen and basketball player Pau Gasol.  Tuesday, watch for actor Ted Danson, actress Hannah Simone.  Craig’s guest on Wednesday is actor Jeffrey Tambor.  Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan and actress Jennifer Coolidge are in the studio on Thursday.  And on Friday, Craig welcomes actress Laura Linney. Please note: Monday’s episode of the Late Late Show may be delayed in the Eastern and Central time zones due to CBS coverage of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. If coverage of the game and any post-game festivities extend beyond 11pm ET/10pm CT, the evening’s remaining programming, including your local news, Late Night with David Letterman and the Late Late Show will “slide” later. We’ll keep you posted on Twitter if the show’s starting time is delayed. The show’s start time in the Mountain and Pacific time zones should be unaffected.
