Craig’s Brave Character Some character art for the Disney/Pixar animated feature Brave has been released and we’re getting our first look at Craig‘s character, Lord MacIntosh! A look at four of the major characters is available on TheMarySue.com. Thanks to the RSA’s @HMSFox for the link.  Thanks also to Mary for the link to the film’s official site.   The trailer for Brave will be shown before screenings of Cars 2 beginning Friday around the country.  The film will be released a year from now… June 22, 2012. New Shows Return Monday After a two week hiatus and an extended visit from the re-run fairy, new episodes of the LLS will return to our screens Monday.  After a marathon week of work in Paris, Craig and company returned to Los Angeles for some well-deserved rest this week.  Now comes the challenge of sorting through hours of raw videotape to produce five full episodes of the show, including opening bits, monologues, comedy sketches, celebrity interviews and closing segments.  Along with some of the scenes and faces we’ve seen, there are bound to be some surprises along the way as well. The France episodes of the Late Late Show will air August 1st-5th on CBS, which gives the LLS team just five weeks to edit together those special shows, while still producing 25 regular shows the whole time, most falling within the the July ratings sweeps period.  Most of the team may get a bit of a break when those shows finally air but Craig will likely need to make the publicity rounds, promoting the shows on television, radio and in print.  Meanwhile, Craig also has a half dozen live comedy performances in July.  Sounds like a busy month. Kimmel Speaks The Hollywood Reporter interviews Jimmy Kimmel at length about late night television.  In the article he mentions that he has only met Craig and Conan O’Brien once and has never met Jimmy Fallon. Questions with Craig Just after Craig started at the Late Late Show in 2005, the New York Times Magazine had some questions for the new host.  And a little more than a year afterward, New York Magazine took its turn to quiz him. Cracking Up We just can’t see this clip enough. We’re watching it again right now. Video courtesy: Fergufool Tonight’s Guests Actress Julie Andrews and music by Little Big Town will be on Thursday’s rebroadcast of the May 18th show.  And on Friday, watch for the  June 9th show with actor Morgan Freeman and TV personality Carson Kressley.
