He then went on to moderate two panels on Friday, including The Big Bang Theory<\/em> and Game of Thrones<\/em>, much to the delight of the Comic-Con crowds. We saw quite a few tweets suggesting that Craig moderate every panel at the convention.\r\n\r\n\"Phil<\/a>And as if his week wasn’t quite complete, he also appeared at this summer’s incarnation of w00tstock<\/a>, to introduce fellow geek Adam Savage<\/strong> from the Mythbusters<\/em>. Craig’s astronomer friend Phil Plait<\/strong> was there as well, and got a photo of the three of them backstage. w00tstock<\/a> is a nerd festival in its own right, and has been held in several different cities, including San Diego in 2013 and 2014.\r\n\r\n\"CF<\/a>It’s worth noting that the proceeds from Craig and Josh’s panel on Thursday were for a good cause. They raised $6,000 for Operation Smile<\/a>. Of course, the Comic-Con panels Craig moderated were not all about him. The panels themselves got plenty of coverage (containing some spoilers<\/span>), including Examiner.com<\/a>‘s report on the Game of Thrones<\/em> panel, and Variety.com<\/a>‘s piece on The Big Bang Theory<\/em> panel. Most of the stories we’ve seen had nice things to say about Craig. And in a fun story from Hypable.com<\/a>, we hear about Craig jokingly making fun of Aquaman<\/strong>, and regretting it a moment later. It’s a good thing he’s played Aquaman so often on the show.\r\n\r\nPost-Larry Interview Buzz<\/strong><\/span>\"Larry<\/a>\r\nThe media were buzzing with reaction after Craig appeared on Larry King’s internet talk show on Thursday, in which he talked about his departure from The Late Late Show<\/em> and some of his future plans. Mediaite.com<\/a> and CapitalNewYork.com<\/a> were among those doing stories about the interview.\r\n\r\nGood Morning Heartache<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn case you missed it on Thursday’s show, Gloria Estafan<\/strong> gave an outstanding performance of a great standard.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: Gloria Estefan Official Fan TV<\/span>\r\n
