Craig Ferguson, Geoff Petersen, Grant Imahara, Bradley the Leprechaun, Secretariat, Josh Robert Thompson, Rebecca Tucker, Michael Naidus and more from the Late Late Show crew are back in Los Angeles after a busy weekend in Las Vegas. It’s all in preparation for a special segment we’re told will be airing on the show Thursday, April 14th. While they were in Sin City, they ran into lots of great people including the prop comedian Carrot Top, comedian George Wallace, entertainer Donny Osmond and more. With all the effort, expense and coordination involved, we have to believe that the segment on Thursday’s show will be epic!
Craig updated his Twitter avatar to a picture standing in front of the Luxor in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper mentioned Craig in Sunday’s edition.
Josh enjoyed his time with the gang: [quotetweet 57209716106997761] [quotetweet 57223050864754688]

Dayna Roselli, a morning news anchor from the CBS television station in Las Vegas tweeted another and joked about Thursday’s upcoming segment. [quotetweet tweetid=56905334765256704]
Because the crew spent so much time and effort in Las Vegas, it is possible that we might see shorter segments or teases during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’s shows… or they may use all the time for editing and show everything at once on Thursday.
If you have spotted any more pictures, tweets or news about Craig and Company’s Las Vegas visit, please send us a tweet or a note using our contact form. We’d like to hear about it!

Craig’s Production Company Gets Film Rights to Novels
