I kind of loved this. \/\/ Sorry everyone I’m a tweety buffoon. Here’s the link again to that thing I kind of loved.\u00c2\u00a0 http:\/\/www.openculture.com\/2011\/07\/impressionist_does_shakespeare_in_celebrity_voices.html<\/a><\/p>\r\nIn case the link didn’t work for you, we have it below.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a video of actor\/comedian\/impressionist Jim Meskimen<\/strong>. He is known from big screen roles in There Will Be Blood<\/em>, Frost\/Nixon<\/em> and Magnolia<\/em> but is also a noted stand up comedian. Here, he does 25 impressions (including a pretty decent Craig Ferguson) while reading Clarence\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s monologue from Richard III<\/em>:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: jimmeskimen<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nSchedule Change with Doctor Who Actor<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nAlthough it has not popped up on the network’s schedule yet, LLS Producer Michael Naidus<\/strong> sent out an early tweet:\r\n

Notable scheduling change for all my fellow Dr. Who fans — Matt Smith will now be appearing with Craig on Friday, July 29.<\/p>\r\nWe’ll watch for the schedule update to see if any other guests are\u00c2\u00a0 shifted around to make room and post the updates on our Guests<\/a> page.\u00c2\u00a0 Note<\/strong>:\u00c2\u00a0 To our knowledge, the taping date of July 25 for Matt Smith<\/strong> remains the same.\u00c2\u00a0 The show is taping extra episodes on Monday and Tuesday the 25th and 26th, before Craig hits the road for stand up comedy<\/a> appearances in Canada and in Boston next weekend.\r\n\r\nIn response to a viewer question about whether he could wear a costume, Naidus also said:\r\n

Please talk to 1Iota regarding proper dress at our tapings. In general, costumes are not permitted at tapings on our lot.<\/p>\r\nFrom what we’ve been told, safety and security are the main reasons for the rule, so if you plan to attend a taping of the show at CBS Television City, remember the policy and dress in your day-to-day clothing.\r\n\r\nEddie Rocks LA<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Eddie Izzard<\/strong> performed Wednesday evening at the Hollywood Bowl; the first solo stand up comedian ever to perform on that stage.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig was there, along with his assistant Rebecca Tucker<\/strong> who tweeted:\r\n
