Craig Takes Twitter Break
Craig tweeted on Thursday that he plans to take a break from Twitter for a while:

I’m taking a tweety break for a few weeks. You kids behave yourselves & no wild parties while I’m away. And don’t stay up too late.

Fans Talk About Studio 58
Now that Craig Ferguson and the Late Late Show have wrapped up tapings in Studio 58 at CBS Television City, fans of the show have been talking about their experiences. Longtime fan and frequent LLS audience member @sarieswick wrote a blog post about her experience:

[stextbox id=”custom”]Tonight’s taping of The Late Late Show was really enjoyable but of course it would be.

The show will air on Thursday and the guests are Ariel Tweeto and Emile Hersche.

I won’t go into details because I don’t want to spoil you but here are some keywords;

psychology, bears, tattoos, sex, and exercise. 🙂

They actually had some technical difficulties so we were waiting downstairs for an extra 30 minutes. To pass the time Chris and Ryan of 1iota had a contest. They had two groups of people come up to answer Craig questions. The prize? Harry Potter Scene It. xD They asked the questions but people in the audience could raise their hand and be called upon if they knew it. I had my hand waving like a fool for a lot of it. They called on me twice for two questions;

What was Craig punk nickname? Adam Eternal

What is the name of one of the bands Craig was in? Exposure

😀
Chunky remembered me and do did Dukes and Chris. So did Jeff actually.

The taping itself went on like normal. I thought Chris Hardwick was the guest, it said so on the ticket…but he’s on Friday night’s show. Ah well.

I saw Josh before the show. I was waiting upstairs to go into the studio and he walked by with food. I said hi and he said hi. Hi again, Josh! 😀

ALSO!?

I got myself a ticket for the second test taping for the new studio! I wanted to go to the first but I’m going to be in Oregon to see Weird Al. It’s August 23rd and Chris from 1iota is going to be hosting it. It’s just a test taping, to make sure everyting works. I requested a ticket and got in; priority. 🙂

The first taping with Craig is August 27th, or that’s what they told me. I’m going to be in town that day so i’m going to try and get myself a ticket for that too.

Yay Craig![/stextbox]

[stextbox id=”custom”]My daughter and I were at the 3:00 taping today, Wed, 7/25. Although it wasn’t the “last” show in there, it was for us. We love the intimacy of studio 58 and the energy in there today was electrical! Craig seemed very light hearted and Geoff was “spot on” with the Scottish Guilt comment. We look forward to experiencing the new studio, but hope that feeling of intimacy will be maintained. Craig certainly deserves a lot more room![/stextbox]

The RSA’s @monroemk told us:

[stextbox id=”custom”]I was in the Studio for the final show. I have spent 5 yrs there as a “Show Enhancer” & have some great memories. The mood was more relaxed as usual but still got the “work” done. This show will air August 8th & be prepared for a cool ending…I will not give it away. Had some time to chat with Craig & he was so nice. He knows how long I have been coming to the show & was sweet enough to take time for me. He did joke & say, “If ya see anything you want on the way out, just grab it.” Ha Ha I was so glad to be there today, everyone who works there are always great. Thanks Craig for a fun 5 years for me. Look forward to the new “Home”[/stextbox]

And the RSA’s @mark_ca said:

[stextbox id=”custom”]Don’t want to spoil too much about the final show in Studio 58, but it was fantastic! We were told it will air on August 8th.[/stextbox]

Tonight’s Guests
Thursday on the Late Late Show, Craig chats with actor Emile Hirsch and reality TV personality Ariel Tweto.  Friday, the official CBS schedule lists the lone guest as actor Vince Vaughn.  Earlier versions of the schedule included singer Joss Stone who is still listed on the show’s website, so if you’re a fan, you may want to set your DVR just in case.

Guest Update

It looks like one of the first guests in the new studio will be one of Craig’s favorites, actress Kristen Bell. She is scheduled for a taping on August 27th, which is now expected to be the debut date for Studio 56. Also added to the schedule for August 28th is Larry King. You can see the latest listings on our Guests page.
