He’s an adorable cheeky Dickensian scamp\/sex-god. Dare I wear my satin pants? <\/em>#notgaybutkinda<\/em> He later added:\u00c2\u00a0 Oh dear @rustyrockets<\/a> beat up my robot. And by “beat up my robot” I mean exactly that. #nosubtextwellmaybealittle<\/a>. #geoffisfine<\/a><\/em>\r\n\r\nUPDATE:<\/strong> Russel Brand tweeted about it, too:\u00c2\u00a0 Watch me tonight on @craigyferg<\/a><\/em>, I smash up a naughty robot. HUMANS FOREVER!<\/em> #takethatterminator<\/a>\/tron\/matrix<\/em> Even the Late Late Show’s publicist Katie Barker<\/strong> weighed in:\u00c2\u00a0 Tonight I feared for the life of a robot. C how #RussellBrand<\/a> feels about @GeoffTheRobot<\/a> on 2nite’s Late Late Show. @grantimahara<\/a> – he is ok <\/em>And Brand said more:\u00c2\u00a0 @craigyferg<\/a><\/em> your tin henchman Geoff was committing hate crimes against us Homo Sapiens. Some one should RAM his Googles.<\/em> We can’t wait to see what happened!\r\n\r\nThe RSA’s General @Malinky2Stoatir, @HMSFox, @bgrhubarb<\/strong> and others spotted that the EpixHD channel, which shot Craig’s stand up comedy special in Nashville in November, has a placeholder<\/a> web page up with the title “Does This Need To Be Said<\/em>“.\u00c2\u00a0 That line comes from Craig’s stand up routine and may become the title of the special.\u00c2\u00a0 We assume the show is being edited now but a release date has not been scheduled.\u00c2\u00a0 We have not heard if EpixHD will be broadcasting the special or if it will be licenced to a more commonly available cable channel like Comedy Central, which premiered Craig’s last special, A Wee Bit O’ Revolution<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 There is also no DVD release date scheduled yet but last time, the DVD was available just a day or two after the special first aired.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll continue to keep an eye on progress and let you know when release dates are announced.\r\n\r\nThe RSA’s @HMSFox sent us a link to another nice picture from Nashville, taken by a producer from EpixHD:\u00c2\u00a0 another pic from Nashville show for you: http:\/\/plixi.com\/p\/57983677<\/a> from @ derekscreens, one of Epix’ producers.<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe RSA’s @SariesWick<\/strong> noticed that Craig & Company will be taping two shows on December 10, 16 and 17 as they stockpile segments for future broadcasts… and that means they will need a bunch of email and twitter questions to read on the air.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’ve been dying to have Craig read your question, those might be good days to submit them and improve your chances.\r\n\r\nNew York Magainze<\/a> couldn’t resist talking about Carrie Fisher<\/strong>‘s unusual gift to Craig on Tuesday’s show.\r\n\r\nThe Washington Post<\/a> reports that White House Correspondent’s dinner will feature Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers<\/strong> in 2011.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig hosted the fete in 2008.\r\n\r\nJosh Robert Thompson<\/strong>, the voice of Geoff Petersen<\/strong>, sent an interesting tweet:\u00c2\u00a0 I play a 8 characters in the upcoming film series, “Lost Woods.” That’s a schizo world record! Check it out! http:\/\/vimeo.com\/17523686<\/a><\/em>\r\n\r\nToday marks the 30th anniversary of John Lennon<\/strong>‘s death in New York.\u00c2\u00a0 Imagine.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>Wednesday’s Late Late Show features actor Russel Brand<\/strong> and journalist Richard Wolffe<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 On Thursday, Craig chats with actress Lucy Liu<\/strong> and 1997 Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe RSA News is grateful for members of the Robot Skeleton Army who contribute links, pictures, stories and tips about the goings-on in the hollowed out volcano.\u00c2\u00a0 If you see news relating to Craig Ferguson, the Late Late Show or other things you think would be of interested to the RSA, don’t hesitate to tweet us, or send us a note using the “Contact Us” form here on the site.\u00c2\u00a0 Your efforts make this site better!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
