The network is shooting two pilot episodes of Celebrity Name Game<\/em> on Friday in Studio City, CA.\u00c2\u00a0 You can get tickets here<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 From what we’ve heard, CBS agreed to shoot the pilot episodes but has not made a commitment to order more episodes or even to air the show.\u00c2\u00a0 It is not listed among CBS’s fall shows.\u00c2\u00a0 If they do pick it up, it will likely be a mid-season replacement starting after Christmas, perhaps replacing a low performing show from the fall schedule.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll be watching to see if the show will make it to the air and let you know when you can see it. Thanks to the RSA’s @cozohobo<\/strong> for the heads up about the tickets.\u00c2\u00a0 If any roboskellies go, please let us know and tell us what it’s like!\r\n\r\nEmmy Nominations Announced<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nNominations for the 2011 Prime Time Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning.\u00c2\u00a0 The Late Late Show received no nominations this year, although The Late Show with David Letterman<\/em> did pick up a nomination for “Outstanding Directing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Series”, which was the only nod for Worldwide Pants and CBS in the late night arena. Nominees in the big category of “Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series” were the The Colbert Report<\/em>, Conan<\/em>, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart<\/em>, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon<\/em>, Real Time With Bill Maher<\/em> and Saturday Night Live<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Conan O’Brien<\/strong> and Jimmy Fallon<\/strong> also each got nominations for “Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Series” and “Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media”. And who knows what Craig will say about this: Conan also picked up a nomination for “Outstanding Lighting Design\/Lighting Direction For A Variety, Music, Or Comedy Series”. Since Craig’s debut with the Late Late Show in 2005, he has been nominated for one Emmy in the now defunct category of “Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program”. Singer Barry Manilow<\/strong> won the award that year for his special, Barry Manilow: Music and Passion<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 The show’s most prominent award was the George Foster Peabody Award, for Craig’s 2009 interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 Zap2It.com<\/a> lists the Late Late Show among its list of “snubbed” shows in this year’s Emmys.\r\n\r\nTonight Show Buzz<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Craig’s appearance on The Tonight Show<\/em> with Jay Leno<\/strong> garnered some attention, especially about his lapdance for Rose Byrne<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 New York Magazine<\/a> reported on the show, along with other outlets including Hollywood.com<\/a> and Examiner.com<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLast Minute Press for Pooh<\/strong><\/span>\r\nWith Disney’s Winnie The Pooh<\/em> opening nationwide on Friday, there are literally hundreds of reviews and cast interviews out there. The RSA’s @cozyhobo<\/strong> found this one from MSN Entertainment<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAmong the many interviews of Craig for the launch of Winnie The Pooh<\/em>, the one from Shoes.tv was one of the funniest. The RSA’s @Colleen_Byrne<\/strong> sent us the link. Knowing his audience, Craig talked more about his wife’s shoes than Pooh.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: shoes.tv<\/span>\r\n
