What A Horror Show!
Fans are still basking in the glow of Monday night’s Late Late Show Halloween special, featuring music from the Rocky Horror Show.  Craig Ferguson knows how to throw a party and took the chance to bring a part of this paste back to life.  He appeared in a London stage production of the show in 1991.  The opening musical number and Rocky-themed musical segment at the end of the show drew raves from many outlets, including The Huffington Post,  ology.com, CityBeat.com, and Entertainment Weekly.  Responding to a fan’s compliment that he does well on talk shows, Neil Gaiman replied:

@autojim I don’t know if I enjoy chat shows,but I love talking to @CraigyFerg.

Behind The Scenes
A friend of Neil Gaiman, longtime television and comic book writer Mark Evanier, blogged about his experience of seeing the show taped on Monday. Thanks to the RSA’s @colleen_byrne for the link!



Tinky Winky?
As for Craig, he has moved on to other thoughts, such as the wardrobe mishaps of the Teletubbies:

I’ve seen teletubbies so many times with my kids that I’ve noticed Tinky Winky has cameltoe. I thought he was a dude. #maybeitsmooseknuckle

Nerdist On Paper
The @Nerdist Chris Hardwick’s new book is out today and is available online.  He tweeted:

Holy tits! My book is out today. Weird. It’s out there. In the world. It’s like I smeared my brain on paper. But less chunky. #NerdistWay

Kimmel Gets Correspondents Gig
Jimmy Kimmel will be the latest late night host to be the headline act at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC in April of 2012.  As the Washington Post reports,  Craig was featured at the 2008 dinner.


Tonight’s Guests
Tuesday on the Late Late Show, the lone guest on the list is comedian Dennis Miller. On Wednesday, Craig talks with actor Ted Danson and actress Bitsie Tulloch.




Guest Update

The show managed to sneak in another guest for mid-November, adding the Craig’s long-lost little brother (it’s a joke but we’re looking forward to the wild dance they usually do when he walks on stage) Ewan McGregor, who had been booked earlier this year but had to be rescheduled.
