The Los Angeles Times<\/a> and many other outlets are reporting the news, which includes the detail that Colbert has signed a five-year agreement. Further details will continue to appear in the coming weeks and months, as the network settles on a direction for the show. There was no immediate word on whether Craig Ferguson<\/strong> will remain at The Late Late Show<\/em> after his current contract expires later this year. We’ll continue to watch for developments.\r\n\r\nHost Swap<\/strong><\/span>\"Drew<\/a>\r\nCraig Ferguson<\/strong> and Drew Carey<\/strong> had fun on April 1st, pulling their widely-advertised April Fools Day prank by swapping shows for the day. The two appeared on the CBS daytime show The Talk<\/a> to explain the idea behind the switch. One fan who had a chance to attend the taping of The Price Is Right<\/em> with Craig hosting, wrote an excellent story about it on Tumblr<\/a>.\r\n\r\nCorky Reappears<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"Corky<\/a>The RSA’s @HoboRobot<\/strong> found some creative uses for old tennis balls, and remembered a low-budget puppet from The Late Late Show<\/em>:\r\n

Randy has been working on a series of projects<\/a>, including a web series on environmental issues. His latest show trailer gives you a taste of his humor:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: Randy Kagan<\/span>\r\n
