Craig Praise<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nThe RSA’s @RaniVermonty<\/strong> noticed some blog posts written a few years ago by an anchor at the ABC television station in Albany, NY about Craig. In the first post<\/a>, she talks about enjoying an episode of the show, followed by a second post<\/a> about Thanksgiving that included a clip from the show. In the third post<\/a>, she talks about getting a nice note, shirt and mug from Craig. Finally, a few months later, she added a fourth post<\/a> mentioning Craig, this time to congratulate him on winning a Peabody Award for his interview of Archbishop Desmond Tutu<\/strong>. We’re always glad to see when people notice how good the show can be. Also, @RaniVermonty let us know about a live performance Craig did in 2008 that was missing from the list on our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page. If you know of a missing show, please let us know!\r\n\r\nTARDIS Towel<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>The RSA’s @sumdude<\/strong> noticed a tweet that included a picture of a TARDIS beach towel. The towel is sold by the folks at ThinkGeek.com<\/a>, who have all sorts of Doctor Who gear and other geeky stuff. When we checked most recently, the beach towel is out of stock. Hopefully, you won’t have to turn back time to get one and they’ll be re-supplied sometime soon.\r\n\r\nSuccess for McKidd<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nOne of the voices in the Disney\/Pixar film Brave<\/em>, Kevin McKidd<\/strong>, tells Scotland’s Daily Record<\/a> newspaper about how he faced some lean years as an actor after his breakthrough role in the seminal Scottish film Trainspotting<\/em>.\r\n\r\nSquirrel Wars<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn a classic monologue, Craig takes on the squirrels:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: Fergufool<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nTonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Thursday on the Late Late Show, enjoy the April 19th show with actress Kelly Preston<\/strong> and author Joel Stein<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 And on Friday, watch for an encore presentation of the March 19th episode with author Anne Rice<\/strong> and comedian Geoff Tate<\/strong><\/em>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
