Smoke on the Water. #<\/s>replacesongtitlewithothersongtitle<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>stupidtwitterhashtags<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 \/\/\u00c2\u00a0 Old MacDonald had a Farm #<\/s>replacesongtitlewithothersongtitle<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>stupidtwitterhashtags<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>babytoymusicinmyhouse<\/strong><\/a> #<\/s>eieio<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nAnd in the midst of the flurry of responses, Craig added a deep and ponderable thought about Leap Day:\r\n

This day last year it wasn’t.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Meanwhile, one of Wednesday’s guests, astronomer Phil Plait<\/strong>, tweeted that he would be on the show:\r\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153@<\/s>BadAstronomer<\/strong><\/a>: Tonight I’ll be on @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a>! And that’s not code. #<\/s>ItsAGreatLeapDayForAmericaEverybody<\/strong><\/a> http:\/\/is.gd\/LQ32Na<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\r\nCraig saw the shortened link to Phil’s blog post and joked:\r\n

#<\/s>iscode<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Later, Wednesday’s other guest, actor Thomas Lennon<\/strong> tweeted:\r\n

Me and @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> try to start a fire using only our butt cheeks on to tonight’s Late Late Show.<\/p>\r\nTo which Craig responded:\r\n

friction burns but(t)worth it<\/p>\r\nAnd Phil Plait added:\r\n

@<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> Deny it all you want big guy, but between the @<\/s>thomaslennon<\/strong><\/a> butt rubbing & our conversation, it *ain’t* code.<\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Craig wasn’t the only late night host playing hashtag games on Wednesday.\u00c2\u00a0 NBC’s Jimmy Fallon<\/strong> got one started and offered an example:\r\n

Hashtag game! Tweet out some funny, weird, or crazy story about your coworker and tag with #<\/s>mycoworkeriscrazy<\/strong><\/a>. Could be on our show!\u00c2\u00a0 \/\/\u00c2\u00a0 He walked into my office, aimed a marshmallow gun at my face, unloaded, then left. #<\/s>mycoworkeriscrazy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nSo Craig decided to give it a try:\r\n

@<\/s>jimmyfallon<\/strong><\/a> – He is a gay robot skeleton. #<\/s>mycoworkeriscrazy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\nWorking Ahead<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Craig and company have been busily taping extra segments of the show to store for later, perhaps to have a few all-news shows up their sleeve during Craig’s west coast comedy tour in April.\u00c2\u00a0 Among the guests being saved for a future date is comedian Geoff Tate<\/strong>, who tweeted:\r\n

I guess it can be told now. I’m taping the @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> show today. This is my dressing room. http:\/\/pic.twitter.com\/nE9zIRHg<\/a><\/p>\r\nSpeaking of the west coast tour, tickets for Craig’s show in Lancaster, CA go on sale at 3pm ET\/12pm PT on Thursday.
