Tonight from Paris: New city, new language, new opening, new theme song, new bus, and the most delightful book shop owner in the world.<\/p>\r\n[stextbox id=”custom”]In case you missed in over the weekend, CBS sent out a preview video for Craig’s week of shows in Paris. It contains a few spoilers about locations and guests, as well as a couple of “insider” video clips. If you’d rather wait until next week to be surprised, do not click the arrow.\r\nFor those outside the US, the clip should now work for you!<\/strong>\r\nSPOILER ALERT!<\/strong><\/span>\r\n[stb id=”custom” caption=”Paris Preview Video”]\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: CBS<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n[\/stb]\r\nSpoilers End Here<\/span>\r\n[\/stextbox]\r\n\r\nCraig Charms Boston<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nCraig Ferguson<\/strong> has made Boston a regular stand for his live comedy tour and he returned Sunday night to charm a sellout crowd at the Wilbur Theatre, along with his opening act, Boston comedian Dan Bulger<\/strong>. The show wraps up a fantastically busy week for the Late Late Show host, who is now on a well-deserved summer break for the next three weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig tweeted from the theater before the show:\r\n

I made that hole.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>And Craig added:\r\n

He totally made himself at home on Friday with a very Canadian-themed show, and he even made an encore appearance when his standing ovation kept going after the house lights were turned on. It ended on a perfect note with someone calling out “We love you, Craig!” and he answered “I love you, too!” We hope we’ll continue to be blessed and that he’ll come back to Toronto often in the years to come. He’s a great talent and a great person.\r\n[\/stextbox]\r\n\r\nMontreal Digs Craig<\/strong><\/span>\r\n[pullquote] “Ferguson was on fire and could have likely done 90 minutes of stand-up all on his own.”\r\n–Montreal Gazette<\/em> [\/pullquote]Check out the outstanding review of Craig’s performance at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Sunday’s Montreal Gazette<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It looks like they’re learning what the robot skeleton army has known for a long time!\u00c2\u00a0 And on laughspin.com<\/a>, the editors of Punchline Magazine were blown away by Saturday’s lineup.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb<\/strong> for the latter link.\r\n\r\nCraig on The Talk<\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe appearance was pre-recorded late last week but we’ll get to see it Monday as Craig returns to mix things up with the ladies of the CBS daytime chat-fest The Talk<\/em>.
