New ‘Name Game’ Tapings
Craig Ferguson will be spending the next couple of months in Hollywood, recording dozens and dozens of new episodes of Celebrity Name Game. If you live in or are planning to visit the greater Los Angeles area in the next several weeks, you can get free tickets to see the show. Our friends at On Camera Audiences have posted links to order tickets on their website. So far, they’ve listed 12 shows, to be taped at 10:30am and 2:30pm PT March 13-18 and more are expected to be added soon.
Book of the Month
Craig has been named Guest Judge in the month of March for the Book of the Month Club, and the book he’s recommending is The Moor’s Account by Laila Lalami, a Moroccan-American novelist and professor of creative writing at the University of California, Riverside. As you may remember, Craig told us last month he has optioned the novel and is hoping to make it into a multi-part television series. You can see lots of videos and comments from Craig on the club’s website. Lalami, who appeared as a guest on The Late Late Show in Craig’s last year on the show, will soon appear as a guest on Join Or Die on the History Channel.
Craig’s Tribeca Short List
In our most recent post, we told about you about how Craig was asked to recommend some films for a new online movie service called Tribeca Shortlist, and that the first movie on his list was Groundhog Day. The RSA’s @chandlersdame and @bgrhubarb have dug into it further and say two more films have made the list: The Fisher King starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges, and NEDS, a film about a young man’s life on the streets of Glasgow. The website Uproxx.com did a story featuring clips of Craig talking about films and acting. It’s well worth a look.
