- Robot Skeleton Army News

Grant Imahara sent a tweet to Craig this morning, asking for a nickname for the robot skeleton sidekick: @craigferguson robo skelly sidekick, “Geoff Peterson” too formal. Been calling him “FergBot” do u like this nickname? Other ideas?

Craig responded with some suggestions: @grantimahara Im kinda thinking he needs a formal name for the show but maybe his close friends call him P-Funk or Skelldiddy

Grant came back with this: @CraigyFerg It’s just that he’s… resisting being called Geoff. Perhaps an adjustment of the Emoticon chip?

RSA members are already chiming in with possible names for Craig’s sidekick. Do you have any ideas? Join the discussion on Twitter!

Some of the good ones:

And finally, a name for the cat at the end of the show: “@CraigyFerg New name for Â¿QuÃ© aprendimos en el programa SeÃ±or Craig?? pussy cat …….. #AwkwardPaws!!” /via @NiffyNaffyNoo

Update: The robot skeleton sidekick name debate seems to be officially over. In Thursday’s cold open, Craig told his followers to get their own robot skeleton if they want to name something. Fair enough, fearless leader. Geoff Petersen it is.
