As if a nightly, nationally televised talk\/variety show isn’t enough, since taking over the Late Late Show in 2005, he has completed a novel and an autobiography, hosted several awards shows, been nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy, won a Peabody Award, performs at corporate events, does countless interviews for national and local television stations, entertainment shows, radio stations, magazines and newspapers, performs stand up comedy shows at venues around the country, is about to produce his second comedy special, is an executive producer for a new sitcom being considered by CBS, started his own production company, works for charitable causes, was the featured speaker at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, has hosted the Independence Day celebration in Boston four times, became an American citizen, got married and is having a second child.\u00c2\u00a0 And surely there are many more things he is doing behind the scenes without fanfare.\u00c2\u00a0 The talent, energy and dedidation to do it all gives us all something to admire and to which we can aspire.\r\n\r\nCraig’s opening act, writer\/comedian\/tour photographer Randy Kagan<\/strong> sent a great tweet out to the RSA:\u00c2\u00a0 Fame Adjacent Tour 2010 has come to an end. Thx to all RSA and civilians for your kindness. Stay tuned for entire new show in 2011.<\/em> We’re all looking forward to it!\r\n\r\nScottish newspaper The Herald<\/a> notes Craig’s Grammy nomination, along with that of Susan Boyle<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nLLS producer Michael Naidus<\/strong> visited Canada over the weekend and watched some hockey:\u00c2\u00a0 Today’s lesson: when in Montreal, you are a Candiens fan. Go Habs Go!<\/em>\r\n\r\nLLS assistant producer Andrea Wayland<\/strong> enjoyed the movie theater on Sunday evening:\u00c2\u00a0 Geeking out about TRON: Legacy tonight.<\/em>\r\n\r\nGeoff Petersen<\/strong> has tonight’s weather report and some reassurance:\u00c2\u00a0 Rain coming to LA. @CraigyFerg<\/a> studio leaks but bones don’t rust.<\/em>\r\n\r\n
