It’s been getting some media coverage, in places like Yahoo’s TV column<\/a>, which highlighted some of the images being used promote the show, and the website WhatChaReading.com<\/a>, which hopes the show is here to stay.\r\n\r\nOne of the executive producers of Join Or Die<\/em> is Phil Cottone<\/strong>, who some longtime Craig fans may remember as one of Craig’s early tour managers. Phil says he remembers several times when, while riding the tour bus and watching DVDs, something would spark a thought and Craig would tell a story related to American history that he had come across. He told us Late Late Show<\/em> fans should watch the show’s credits, where they’ll see familiar names like Joseph Bolter<\/strong> (one half of Secretariat) and Bob Oschack<\/strong> among the writers. And he added that the History Channel is excited about the show, and has proven it not only by promoting it, but by placing it on the schedule on Thursday nights right after Vikings<\/em>, one of the network’s biggest hit shows.\r\n\r\nWhere To See and Hear Craig<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"Craig<\/a>\r\n\r\nCraig will be promoting the premiere of Join Or Die<\/em> in many places the next couple of weeks.
