In past years, fans would have to add his name as a write-in candidate. Voting will continue for the next few weeks. The top five vote-getters will be named finalists and a second round of voting will be held from mid-November to mid-December. The winner will be announced during the People’s Choice awards ceremony on January 8th, live on CBS. To vote for Craig, visit the talk show host<\/a> page. Please note: You may encounter difficulty while voting due to website slowdowns. The People’s Choice website has been down off and on for much of the first day, probably overwhelmed with Justin Bieber<\/strong> fans making sure he wins in his categories. To help Craig get nominated, be sure to vote early and vote often (you can vote as many times as you like).\r\n\r\nSecret Identity\"Phil<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nWe’re not sure why Craig’s assistant and road manager Phil Cottone<\/strong> is dressing up like this backstage, but it’s probably something funny:\r\n\r\n
