Sambora Sings As originally envisioned by Craig Ferguson, rocker Richie Sambora would be performing on the show all week, naked and playing the harp. As it turns out, Craig won’t get everything he wanted but he will get Sambora as the show’s house band for the week of December 3rd through the 7th. Sambora and some friends will play in and out of commercial breaks on the show, as well as perform full songs from his upcoming album. The Late Late Show is the only late-night talk show without a house band, and while it’s likely to stay that way, this should be a fun week. MacFarlane Makes Moves Upcoming Late Late Show guest Seth MacFarlane is a busy guy.  The New York Daily News reports that he will be a guest voice on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons, Entertainment Weekly reports he is setting up a contest that could bring a student to the Oscars (which he will host), and oh yes, he’s solidifying plans to make a Family Guy movie. Kerr Kicks Upcoming guest Miranda Kerr is a Victoria’s Secret model and wife of actor Orlando Bloom. We’re wondering if Craig will be able to contain himself, knowing those two facts. As People Magazine explains, Miranda worked hard to be runway ready for Tuesday’s VS fashion show on CBS.
Hollywood Abbreviations Craig talks about the secret of abbreviating the names of Hollywood stars, to prove that you’re a celebrity insider. Video courtesy: u27v This Week’s Guests Enjoy a week of all-new episodes of the Late Late Show, featuring Richie Sambora as the show’s house band all week. The official guest list, which we anticipate will be expanded, includes  actor/producer Seth MacFarlane and model Miranda Kerr on Monday. On Tuesday, Craig chats with actress Reba McEntire. Wednesday’s listing includes only Sambora but more guests are tentatively scheduled for taping. On Thursday, watch for actor/comedian Denis Leary. And on Friday, Craig welcomes actress Julie Delpy. As more names are added to the list, we’ll update them here and on our Guests page.
