Tour Begins Thursday The latest leg of Craig Ferguson‘s Live Comedy Tour begins on Thursday in Tucson, Arizona. He’ll also perform in Chandler, AZ (near Phoenix) before heading on to California, where he’ll appear in Lancaster (near LA), San Diego, San Luis Obispo, and Napa. Next will be Oregon, with performances in Medford and Portland. And finally, he’ll appear at the sold-out Snoqualmie Casino Showroom just east of Seattle before retuning home to Los Angeles. Tickets remain on sale for most of the shows. We’ve also added Craig’s May 10th appearance at the Paley Center in Los Angeles on May 10th to our tour page, with a link to get tickets. Show 1500 On Friday, the Late Late Show reached a milestone, as Craig reached his 1500th show as permanent host. He had appeared on the show seven times as a guest host in 2004 before officially taking over on January 3rd, 2005. The RSA’s @bgrhubarb points out that it was also the anniversary of the snake mug (a gift from guest Mary McCormack) as well as the anniversary of the television debut of Cabbage, one of Craig’s dogs.
