The show will start at just after 12:44am ET\/11:44pm CT Wednesday night and may be late on Thursday night as well. We’ll keep you updated.\r\n\r\nGuest Update: <\/strong>Comedian Nick Griffin<\/strong> has been added to Wednesday’s show.\r\n\r\nThe Nerdist is Fit to Print<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nThe @Nerdist Chris Hardwick<\/strong> was recently profiled in the New York Times<\/a>. Thanks to the RSA’s Gus<\/strong> for the link to that story, as well as an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune<\/a> about frequent LLS guest, country singer Toby Keith<\/strong>.\r\n
\r\nCanberra Tweets<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nAustralia’s ABC Radio reports on a plan<\/a> to invite Australians to enjoy a free weekend in the capital city of Canberra, on the condition that they use social media to talk about their experiences. What could go wrong?\r\n\r\nSkeletons Rising<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nWhile we were away, several members of the RSA sent us an article from Discovery.com talking about a skeleton army rising from a bog<\/a> in Denmark. Perhaps it’s beginning!\r\n
\r\n
Geoff’s Beginnings<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nCraig’s robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson<\/strong> was designed by the Mythbusters<\/em>‘ own robotics expert Grant Imahara<\/strong>. Geoff has become pretty sophisticated with wireless controls and the voice talents of Josh Robert Thompson<\/strong>. But in the early days, Geoff’s voice was provided by Craig, with a few stock phrases. Grant demonstrates in this video clip from 2010:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: GrantImahara<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nWarp Speed, Mr. Imahara<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\nSpeaking of Grant Imahara, he is getting the chance to play the role of Ensign Sulu in a new internet-based re-imagining of the original Star Trek series. The online newspaper rafu.com<\/a>, which covers Japanese news in the Los Angeles area, explains.\r\n
\r\nTonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nWednesday on the Late Late Show, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan<\/strong> returns to the show, Craig chats with actress Fiona Gubelmann<\/strong> and we’ll see comedian Nick Griffin<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 On Thursday, Craig welcomes back actress Lisa Kudrow<\/strong> and a last-minute addition, comedian Marc Maron<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nGuest Update<\/strong><\/span>\r\n

The guest list has been updated through September 7th, including a Labor Day rebroadcast of Tuesday’s show with Larry King<\/strong> and Michelle Buteau<\/strong>, plus Angela Kinsey<\/strong>, David Simon<\/strong>, The Heavy<\/strong>, Jeff Goldblum<\/strong> and Lauren Miller<\/strong>. Ben Stein<\/strong> has been added to the list of future guests and Canadian comedian Gerry Dee<\/strong> tweeted that he’ll be on the show sometime soon.
