They’ll be taping Craig’s newest comedy special, which will be released later this year. As we’ve reported, Friday and Saturday’s 7pm shows will go on as scheduled, while Thursday’s show has been moved to Saturday night at 10pm, to make it easier for recording. Meanwhile, a planned performance in Philadelphia has been moved to September 19. Craig will wrap up his latest east coast swing in Morristown, New Jersey on Sunday before the tour moves to warmer climes, including Nashville next week. You can see the full tour listings on our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page.\r\n\r\nBecause Craig Ferguson<\/strong> will need to be in Los Angeles to shoot the pilot episode for The King of 7B<\/em>, a number of planned stand up comedy shows in March have been canceled or postponed.
