‘Name Game’ Third Season Starts Monday
The third season of Craig Ferguson‘s popular game show Celebrity Name Game begins its third season on Monday, September 19. Sometimes paired with Family Feud and sometimes standing on its own with back-to-back episodes each day, the show has done well. It draws more than a million viewers, and continues to be one of the best-performing game shows on television. Celebrity Name Game is syndicated to most television markets around the country. Check your local listings for the time and channel “in your region.”

Craig on the Interwebs
Craig is making a couple of appearances via the Googly-web Face-tube this week. The first is as a guest on the Turned Out a Punk podcast, available on iTunes and Audioboom. And the second will be an appearance on Chelsea Handler‘s talk show on Netflix, scheduled for Friday, September 16.

More Stand Up Dates
Craig has added more stand up dates, including Milwaukee at the Riverside Theater on November 4, and a charity event in Grand Rapids, Michigan the following night, November 5. The Grand Rapids event is a fundraiser for the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, which provides inpatient care for children and adults who have experienced a brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, or other injury or illness requiring physical rehabilitation. Thanks to our ever-watchful band of hobos, we often hear about new tour dates before they appear elsewhere. You can find these and Craig’s other appearances on our Live Comedy Tour page. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for the Milwaukee tip and the RSA’s @pinkbirdie48840 for the heads up about Grand Rapids.

Top of the Mark
Comedian Mark Forward, who has frequently opened for Craig on the New Deal Tour, has been touring his solo show across Canada this summer. He recently appeared at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, where Paste Magazine named him one of this year’s ten best acts. He’ll be in Kitchener, Ontario this Saturday, September 17th.

Craig Welcomes The Damned
One of the advantages of having your own television show is the ability to invite artists that you really like to perform. As Craig himself explains in this clip, one of the bands made him a fan of punk rock was The Damned, so he had them appear on the show. And when he did, he had them play the song that introduced him to punk. Thanks to the RSA’s @chandlersdame for finding it!
