On Thursday, CBS finally took the lid off the news and made it official: Craig Ferguson<\/strong> is bringing the Late Late Show to Scotland.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>Wearing his now famous Tom Ford black suit, this time with a bright blue necktie, Craig has been making his way around Glasgow and the nearby town where he grew up, Cumbernauld.\u00c2\u00a0 With a camera crew, Craig is visiting the sights, meeting school children and taping interviews with guests.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>The Cumbernauld News<\/a> and the Scottish Sun<\/a> both report that Craig taped a segment at his old high school along with guest Michael Clarke Duncan<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>We’ve also been told that they taped a segment at Glasgow’s Tron Theater on Thursday, where Craig performed as a stand up comedian in the 1980’s. And Celebrity-Gossip.net<\/a> reports that Mila Kunis<\/strong> will be a guest as well.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>The plan is to record a week of shows, similar to what they did in Paris last summer.\u00c2\u00a0 The episodes are scheduled to be broadcast the week of May 14-18, which is in the midst of the May television ratings period. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153With the statute of limitations finally expiring, it seemed like a great time to go back,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Craig joked in a news release from CBS.\u00c2\u00a0 So far, the show has been keeping the taping locations and guests under wraps but as we hear more details, we’ll pass them along.\r\n\r\nWe Want Your Stories<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>If you are in Scotland and have seen Craig out and about, we would welcome your stories and photos to share with Craig fans around the world.\u00c2\u00a0 Just as we posted many photos and anecdotes from Paris last summer, we’d be delighted to do so again.\u00c2\u00a0 Tweeting a direct message<\/a> to us is the easiest way to pass along what you see and hear, or use our Contact Us<\/a> form for more detailed information.\u00c2\u00a0 Links to your blogs are also welcome.\u00c2\u00a0 And remember, if you do see Craig and the crew working, keep a respectful distance away.\r\n\r\nMedia Coverage<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nOnce CBS sent out a news release to announce that the Late Late Show was taping episodes in Scotland, news outlets jumped on the story, including USA Today<\/a>, E! Online<\/a>, Newsday<\/a>, RBR.com<\/a> and more.\r\n\r\nRegis in Cleveland<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nThe Huffington Post<\/a> caught Regis Philbin<\/strong>‘s appearance on Wednesday’s show, when he talked about being an upcoming guest star on Betty White<\/strong>‘s TVLand sitcom Hot In Cleveland<\/em>.\r\n\r\nBilly Connolly’s Drawings<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nBilly Connolly is not only a talented stand up comedian, writer and actor, but a visual artist as well. Connolly’s pen-and-ink drawings are gaining critical acclaim as well. The UK’s Guardian newspaper<\/a> has some samples of his work, prints of which are being sold by a gallery.\r\n
We’ll Always Have Paris<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn the spirit of a good road trip, here is a look back at the promotional video put together by CBS for Craig’s week of shows in Paris last summer:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: CBS<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nTonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nThursday on the Late Late Show, enjoy an encore presentation of the November 10th, 2011 show with actress Molly Shannon<\/strong> and actor Michael K. Williams<\/strong>. On Friday, watch for a rebroadcast of the November 14th, 2011 show featuring actress Poppy Montgomery<\/strong> and author Charlie Higson<\/strong><\/em>. Due to CBS coverage of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the show will likely be delayed by approximately one hour in the eastern and central time zones on both Thursday and Friday.\r\n\r\nGuest Update<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>

The guest listings have been updated through March 29th, including encore shows with Pierce Brosnan<\/strong>, Laura Lippman<\/strong>, Lisa Kudrow<\/strong> and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWeird Al\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Yankovic<\/strong>. You can see the most up-to-date listings on our Guests<\/a> page.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

At long last, The Late Late Show goes to Scotland, Craig & Company tape a week of shows for May, early word on guests, your stories, media coverage, Regis gets hot in Cleveland, Billy Connolly showcases a new talent, we’ll always have Paris, plus a guest update.<\/p>\n
