When the Mythbusters<\/em> Grant Imahara<\/strong> challenged Craig Ferguson<\/strong> to find him a bunch of new Twitter followers, he promised if he reached his goal, he’d build Craig a robot. After putting out a call to his robot skeleton army of Twitter followers, Craig boosted Grant’s follower numbers past his goal in only a couple of days. National Public Radio<\/a> interviewed Grant about building Geoff for his debut in April of 2010.\r\n\r\nNerdist at Night<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"05<\/a>The @Nerdist Chris Hardwick<\/strong>‘s new late-night show called @midnight<\/em> is doing well on Comedy Central, reports the trade publication Variety<\/a>. In the early going, the show is outdrawing Conan<\/em> and Chelsea Lately<\/em> in sought-after young demographics. The show airs weeknights after The Colbert Report<\/em>.
