Craig himself commented on the article in a tweet this afternoon: I hope reports I’m being replaced by an Australian are false. CBS would never allow a foreigner to do the show. Or would they? Oh no!<\/span><\/span><\/span> And LLS assistant producer Andrea Wayland tweeted to RSA member bgrhubarb: That’s just it! They are RUMORS. False. We’re here…I’ve seen him with my own eyes. Pass it on!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> That seems to be the definitive answer.

Update:<\/span> Craig continued to humorously tweet about the rumor:
<\/span><\/span><\/span>
I<\/span>“m not taking a six week vacation. There is no guest host. . Cocaine is not addictive. #sometimestheinternetcontainsuntruths<\/a>.

<\/span><\/span><\/span>@michaelianblack<\/a> People will love your hilarious kangeroo stories. Good to see an Aussie boy doing so well. #michaelianblackisntaustralian<\/a>.

<\/span><\/span>I just heard that Australian hunk @michaelianblack<\/a> is taking over from Nicole Kidman in General Hospital. #batshitinternetgarbage<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/span>

Thanks to @<\/span>michaelianblack<\/a> for filling in for the last 6 weeks. Many commented on how Scottish his Australian accent sounded.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/blockquote><\/span>Meanwhile, Michael Ian Black had fun with the rumor as well: <\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
Will be on “Late, Late Show” tonight. If I kill Craig Ferguson, I become host right?

<\/span><\/span><\/span>I just read that @craigyferg<\/a> is taking a six week vacation and I am the guest host!!! AWESOME!!!

<\/span><\/span>For those of you wondering if I am secretly Australian, the answer is yes, and I will be announcing it during my guest-hosting gig on LLS.

<\/span><\/span>Also, for those (@craigyferg<\/a>) wondering how you spell “kangaroo,” in Australia we spell it “kangeroo.” Pronounced: “barbie.”

<\/span><\/span>My first guests when I host “LLS” sans @craigyferg<\/a> – a wombat and a dingo and Mel Gibson. The wombat and dingo will eat Mel Gibson.

<\/span><\/span>For those wondering if I am really guest-hosting for @craigyferg<\/a> for six weeks, would I be on his show tonight if it WASN’T true?
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/blockquote>The one part of that exchange that is true is the Michael Ian Black will be a guest on tonight’s LLS (see full guest list below). Craig is also promising to give us a look at injuries to his left arm, suffered in a fall from an amusement park slide last week: Full story of the Vermont Alpine Slide Incident on the show tonight. I will show boo boo…. And also where I got hurt.<\/span>

Randy Kagan sent along some photos from inside Craig’s private plane: <\/span><\/span><\/span>I put the G in G4. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/bg1ctgj<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span>Rebeca chatting with one of the pilots. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/6byclj<\/a> <\/span><\/span>Jeff Kickin it in the movie room. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/jwx07j<\/a> <\/span><\/span>Our Queerless leader. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/5cn38nj<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/span>

Our friend and poet LateLateLass is moving from Clarihews to limericks, drawing on one of Craig’s quirks:
<\/span>
There once was a laddie named Craig,
Who wouldn’t eat chicken with egg.
He caused such a stir,
The mad restauranteur
Said, “Go find a hobo and beg!”
<\/span><\/blockquote>\"\"<\/a>Tonight on the Late Late Show, Craig talks with Big Brother<\/span> host Julie Chen, actor\/comedian Michael Ian Black and brings us the music of country star Dierks Bentley.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
