Tickets for Craig&#8217;s October 19th show in Winnipeg sold out in less than an hour, reports the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/arts-and-life\/entertainment\/arts\/ferguson-sells-out-in-under-an-hour-211664651.html\" target=\"_blank\">Winnipeg Free Press<\/a>. And the October 22nd show in Edmonton is sold out as well. There&#8217;s no word on whether a second show might be added in either city but we&#8217;ll keep an eye out for it and let you know. Craig&#8217;s show in Calgary is nearly sold out, and tickets are selling well at every other Canadian tour stop.

The game show ran for just a single series of five episodes in the spring of 1994.\r\n\r\nCraig&#8217;s reaction centered on his haircut in the photo:\r\n<p class=\"notea\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a class=\"twitter-atreply pretty-link\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prodnose\">@<b>prodnose<\/b><\/a>: You were also hilarious on Bygones with <a class=\"twitter-atreply pretty-link\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrumpyOldRick\">@<b>GrumpyOldRick<\/b><\/a> <a class=\"twitter-timeline-link\" dir=\"ltr\" title=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/im5OG7F.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/LMmbQ2A5FM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-expanded-url=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/im5OG7F.jpg\"><span class=\"invisible\">http:\/\/<\/span><span class=\"js-display-url\">i.imgur.com\/im5OG7F.jpg<\/span><span class=\"tco-ellipsis\"><span class=\"invisible\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Oh Lordy!
