We’ll keep you posted if and when further details are announced.\u00c2\u00a0 If any of our Euroskelly friends in the greater Scotland area get wind of any developments, please let us know!\r\n\r\nHigh Praise, Indeed<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nSpeaking at the winter TV press tour in Los Angeles this week, actor and The Price Is Right<\/em> host Drew Carey<\/strong> compared his friend Craig Ferguson to the late great Johnny Carson<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 That remark got picked up by the Washington Post<\/a>, the Salt Lake Tribune<\/a> and other media outlets.\u00c2\u00a0 We couldn’t imagine a better compliment to a talk show host and we couldn’t agree more. Thanks to the RSA’s @Miss Graoully<\/strong>, Bruce<\/strong> and many others for the links.\r\n\r\nGopher It<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nThe Huffington Post reports on Tom Selleck<\/strong>‘s appearance on the Late Late Show, talking about his Caddyshack<\/em>-style experience with a gopher.\r\n
\r\n
Soon to be a Guest<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nAfter Craig’s Twitter appeal to British actor Leslie Phillips<\/strong>, it didn’t take long to get a response in the affirmative.\u00c2\u00a0 Phillips tweeted back (thanks to the RSA’s @HMSFox<\/strong> for spotting it):\r\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153@<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a>: Do come to LA & be on my show…Darling Craig. I spoke to my pal Tony Hopkins and am coming over soon & would love to X<\/p>\r\nGrant In Town<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>The man who built Geoff Peterson<\/strong>, the Mythbusters<\/em> own Grant Imahara<\/strong> is in Los Angeles, spending a little time with his creation:\r\n

Flying to LA to do routine maintenance on @<\/s>GeoffTheRobot<\/strong><\/a>. Turn your head and cough, Geoff.<\/p>\r\nHe later added:\r\n

Just lubricated @<\/s>GeoffTheRobot<\/strong><\/a>‘s ball joints. They were showing excessive wear. #<\/s>notmakingthisup<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nYes Dance<\/strong><\/span>\r\nWhen we heard the news that Craig might take the show to Scotland, this is how we reacted:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: RoQu3tO<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nTonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nFriday on the Late Late Show, Craig sits down with actor Michael Clarke Duncan<\/strong> and actress Laura Prepon<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nGuest Update<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>

The first guest ever to appear as Craig’s guest on the Late Late Show returns soon.\u00c2\u00a0 David Duchovny<\/strong> has been added to the future guest list.\u00c2\u00a0 You can see all of latest updates on our Guests<\/a> page.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Could the LLS come to Scotland? High praise from Drew, Leslie Phillips says he’d like to be on the show, Grant in LA to work on Geoff, a little dance, plus a guest update.<\/p>\n
