Craig Plans Canada Shows
UPDATE: Craig Ferguson is planning a fall tour and the first date has just been announced. Craig will appear at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary, Alberta on October 21st. When Craig plays Monday night dates, it usually means it’ll be part of a week-long swing through the region, so we’ll be watching for more announcements in the coming weeks. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 14th. You can learn more and find links to tickets on our Live Comedy Tour page. Just added, two shows at the Kelowna Community Theatre in Kelowna, BC. Details can be found on the Live Comedy Tour page.

Josh Talks Comedy

Josh Robert Thompson appeared Monday on comedian Paul C. Morrissey’s podcast, and had a chance to talk not only about Geoff Peterson, but his stand up comedy, voice acting and his plans for the future.


Tyler Too
When Steven Tyler appeared on Monday’s Late Late Show, he not only talked about his voice acting role in the animated film Epic, as reported by AntiMusic.com, he also shared some “wild” Aerosmith tour photos from his recent visit to Asia.

Here Come the Playaaaas
Craig Ferguson fan @isaortruiz drew up a tribute to Craig and Geoff based on their “Here come the playaaaas” song.

Is Craig a Cat?
Although Craig has three dogs and has often said he’s more of a dog person than a cat person, he has also made several comments about cats that have convinced the RSA’s @bgrhubarb that Craig may favor cats… or even be one. Check out the evidence she has collected.


Cooking with Cat
When chef Cat Cora last appeared on the Late Late Show, Craig got a little crazy with the olive oil.

Twelfth Doctor Wishes
Craig Ferguson was one of the first to suggest a replacement for Matt Smith, who will depart Doctor Who after this year’s Christmas special. Craig tweeted:

If anyone was asking me – and they’re not – I’d propose young master Rupert Grint for the next doctor. #gryffindorfuckyeah

Meanwhile, Craig has added a new avatar. It’s a bit of surprise to see a picture of a cat from an avowed dog person, but the Scottish headwear adds a certain flair to his feline persona.


And Tyler Too
Steven Tyler will be on Monday’s Late Late Show. The last time he visited Craig, the two got real talking about lives as creative artists, and playing the mouth organ.

And Then There Were Twelve
News broke Saturday out of the UK in the Telegraph and other outlets that actor Matt Smith will end his run in the British science fiction show Doctor Who at the end of 2013. Smith has portrayed doctor for the past four years. There’s no immediate word on a successor, but the audition line will be long for the successful show that has been delighting fans with eleven different actors in the title role in the past fifty years. Longtime fan Craig Ferguson, keeps a model of a TARDIS on his desk and used a full-sized version to transport himself to Scotland for a week of shows last year.

Craig and Bond Villain Joan

The Los Angeles Times took note of Craig’s opening segment of the Late Late Show on Thursday, in which he played James Bond and featured audience member Joan in the role of a Bond villain.

Between the Bridge Audiobook
Craig Ferguson‘s successful novel Between the Bridge and the River was originally released in hardcover and later in paperback, but was not made available as an audiobook. Soon, we could have the chance to hear the author himself reading his debut tome. Craig tweeted:

A few years ago I wrote a novel called “Between the Bridge & the River.” Should I record it as an audiobook? #thinkingaboutit

One of the first to reply on Twitter was author Jackie Collins:

@CraigyFerg YES!!!!!!

Craig quickly replied:

@jackiejcollins Hah. I can’t refuse you anything Jackie. Okay I’m on it. I’ll keep you posted. #doubleentendreintended

We’ll keep you posted as well. Want to hear a sample? The RSA’s @bgrhubarb reminded us an appearance Craig made on National Public Radio’s Fresh Air when the book was first released.

Meanwhile, Craig tweeted a photo from a recent fundraiser where he and comedian Bob Saget appeared in Los Angeles:

Cracker Jack!
Earlier this week, Craig had some fun with the audience by having them repeat “cracker jack” every time he said it. He was remembering the audience of a long-running British children’s television show, the introduction to which might be familiar to him:
