Many thanks to everyone for their kind words in the comment section and in many tweets over the past 24 hours.  There are plenty of critics out there, saying good, bad or indifferent things about Craig, most of which don’t really matter a whole lot.  But in the context in which yesterday’s post was presented, we felt strongly that it deserved a response.  We’ve had no reaction from Gary Susman.  There will be more positive and negative reviews in the future but in the end, Craig’s performance will speak for itself.  Keep in mind that TVSquad posts a few Craig-related stories a week, almost all positive.  Back in 2008, TVSquad’s Allison Waldman called Craig one of the five TV stars who have exceeded expectations.

Britain’s Sun newspaper is still laughing at Billy Connolly‘s inventive approach to the buffet.

The food goes thru me and people say, “hey, is that pork in your…” // “…Or are you happy to see me?”
