Tour Wraps Up For The Year
The fall leg Craig Ferguson‘s Hobo Fabulous Tour has wrapped up for 2018. Craig played to big crowds in Atlantic City, near Washington and just outside Philadelphia over the weekend to complete a run of 50 shows that began in September. We are told that more appearances are being planned for the spring, and we will update our Live Comedy Tour page as soon as those are announced.

CBS Sells Television City
CBS has sold CBS Television City, where Craig’s Late Late Show was produced throughout his ten-year run, reports the trade publication Variety. The iconic eight-studio complex at 7800 Beverly Boulevard in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles opened in 1952. It has hosted such important and popular programs as the $10,000 Pyramid, All In The Family, The Burns and Allen Show, The Carol Burnett Show, Hollywood Squares, The Lawrence Welk Show, The Merv Griffin Show, Playhouse 90, The Smothers Brothers Show, Tic Tac Dough, Welcome Back Kotter and many more.

During Craig’s run, the show was based first in Studio 58 and later in the larger Studio 56, both of which had been rehearsal halls in the original building, on the upper level (Craig called it “the basement.”)

The new owners are a group called Hackman Capital, which also owns the historic Culver Studios in Culver City. Under the terms of the agreement, the facility will continue to host shows like American Idol, The Young And The Restless, The Bold And The Beautiful, Dancing With The Stars, the Price Is Right and James Corden‘s current version of The Late Late Show for at least the next five years. CBS still owns CBS Studio Center, the former Republic Studios (also known as CBS Radford) in nearby Studio City, which has 18 sound stages and is the location for many current sitcoms, dramas and game shows for CBS and other networks. It also houses the network’s west coast offices and local television affiliate stations.
