Craig taped an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday afternoon. We’ll include video of that appearance in our next post.
Craig at the Paley Center
On Thursday evening, Craig appeared at New York’s Paley Center for Media. The evening began with a video montage of highlights from the Late Late Show, followed by a question and answer session moderated by reporter Dave Itzkoff of the New York Times. So far, they have not posted video of the event but if they do, we’ll add it here. Thanks to the RSA’s @joyabella for the photos from the event!
Skellies and the CityRobot skeletons from around the world are already gathering in New York, some coming early enough to see Craig at the Paley Center and many more expected on Saturday to see Craig at Radio City Music Hall. Are you there? We’d be thrilled to hear your story and see your pictures, like the one the RSA’s @003lili sent us of several hobos together for a group picture. Please send us stories or photos using our Contact Us page or by tweeting us a link to a picture, your blog or website. We’ll share it here with the rest of the RSA!
And now, we’ve added a flickr photo group where you can post your Craig-related photos. The group is open to the public, so anyone attending any of Craig’s appearances can post photos you’d like to share with the group.
Craig at the Super BowlCraig has been mentioning it on the show for weeks, but CBS waited until today to officially announce that there will be a special Late Late Show following the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3rd. After the post-game festivities, local CBS stations will get 30 minutes for their late local newscast, then Craig will host the Late Late Show in New Orleans. We’ll have details about the show, guests and more as the date draws closer.
Michael in NYC
Also in New York this week is LLS Producer Michael Naidus, who went to the Yankees game on Wednesday night. The moment was captured by none other than Keith Olbermann, who tweeted:
