UPDATE:  Craig and friends!
Late Tuesday evening, Craig Ferguson sent a picture with LLS regular Bradley Laise, Tory Belleci from the Mythbusters and the eleventh Doctor Who, actor Matt Smith. Looks like a pretty tough group!

My gang. We’re having jackets made. http://t.co/bIu8Sr2

He also emphasized this week’s guest schedule change:

Attention WHOvians. Matt Smith on the show Friday. Karen Gillan tomorrow. Tonight is @DonRickles. He’s awesome but not a Timelord #orishe?

And he changed his avatar to a Paris picture, leading up to next week’s special shows.

DVR Alert: The Late Late Show may be delayed “in your region” on Monday evening due to President Obama and Speaker Boehner’s speeches, particularly in the East and Central time zones.  From what we can tell, the prime time schedule has shifted 25 minutes later, which means your local news will start at about 11:25pm ET/10:25pm CT, David Letterman at Midnight ET/11pm CT and Craig at about 1:02am ET/12:02am CT.  The speeches came during local news time on the west coast, so Craig should remain on time there.  Mountain time zone stations may vary from market to market but most should stay on the regular schedule.

Excitement is Building
Craig & Company are working hard to wrap things up in Los Angeles before hitting the road for a week of television appearances and stand up comedy shows.  They have one more episode of the Late Late Show to tape on Tuesday afternoon before the crew goes on summer break and Craig heads for New York City.  The show’s video editors will have three more fresh episodes at the ready for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and are putting the finishing touches on the Paris episodes for next week.  In case you missed it, our most recent post has a rundown of Craig’s busy schedule for the week.

Boston Tickets
The Wilbur Theatre in Boston tweeted today that some good tickets are available for Craig’s Sunday show.  You can check them out using the link on our Live Comedy Tour page.

Remember last time @CraigyFerg was at The Wilbur? That was crazy. Well he’s back Sunday! Good tix just released

Classic Humor
It appears we can look forward to some good old-fashioned comedy in the style of television pioneer Milton Berle from Geoff Peterson this week, according to Josh Robert Thompson:

Uncle Miltie stole the jokes, I’m stealin’ ’em back. Watch yourself tonight, Rickles! #TLLS #balls http://twitpic.com/5vtqn2

Listening to American On Purpose
