In the frenetic world of The Late Late Show<\/em> studio where interns in horse costumes roam free, makeup and hair stylists dance and guests appear on roller skates, how long could a ceramic mug last? After nearly five years of service, Craig Ferguson<\/strong>‘s mug from the Albuquerque Rattlesnake Museum, a gift from guest Mary McCormack<\/strong>, is no more, after being bumped from Geoff Peterson<\/strong>‘s podium on Wednesday night’s show by the robot skeleton’s remote-controlled, flailing left arm. As the RSA’s @bgrhubarb<\/strong> has researched<\/a>, there are stand-in mugs that have appeared from time to time on the show, so the snake mug tradition may continue. The original had naughty bits drawn on the bottom (covered by a “censored” sign) and a gold tooth after it was chipped. The newer models available in the CBS gift shop are slightly different and a bit smaller. Stay tuned for more from Craig about the future of snake cups on the show. In the episode when Mary brought the mug<\/a> for Craig, he ceremoniously destroyed his previous mug.\r\n\r\nLeno Departs\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nThursday night marks the final episode of The Tonight Show<\/em> to be hosted by Jay Leno<\/strong>. The Los Angeles Times<\/a> reports on his departure, the show’s return to New York and the comic’s future.\r\n\r\nThursday Night Football<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"NFL<\/a>\r\nCBS has been awarded a contract to carry eight Thursday night NFL football games in the fall, which could push The Late Late Show<\/em> even later on those nights, due to the unpredictable length of games. We’ll keep you posted on nights when the show could be delayed.\r\n
\r\nNot Tom Cruise<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn this opening segment from a few years ago, a dude in the audience who looks remarkably like Tom Cruise catches Craig’s attention. He’s just a bit too tall.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: craigfergusonmaniac<\/span>\r\n
