Enjoying Canada

Craig Ferguson is having a great time taking his stand up comedy on the road across Canada with Josh Robert Thompson warming up the crowds. After a pair of sold-out shows in Winnipeg, Craig tweeted:

The RSA’s Julie was at both shows in Winnipeg and sent us her story:

Just got back from both of the shows tonight in Winnipeg (yes, I went to both!). Josh Robert Thompson did a quick opening set featuring several of his great impressions, along with some great stand-up, then introduced Craig. He was high-energy throughout both shows, and touched on everything from twerking to colonoscopies! I won’t spoil it, but there are some very funny moments. He and Josh also had some fun audience interaction at the end, and answered my question: what would happen of Morgan freeman met Mick Jagger? The answer was awesome! I highly recommend going to one of the shows on this tour if you can – you won’t regret it!

Also sent via the tweety over the weekend, were a pair of photos featuring Josh on stage doing his act, and Josh together with Craig. All of these photos come from Craig’s assistant and road manager Phil Cottone. Thanks Phil! Carson Book Reviews are coming in for the new book about the life of the late Tonight Show host Johnny Carson. As reported in The Huffington Post, the book written by Carson’s longtime friend and lawyer Henry Bushkin gives us a look behind the scenes. Board Games In this monologue from 2006, Craig gives us his thoughts about board games, including a very long game of Monopoly. Video courtesy: FrankGerbertson
