The two hosts chat on Twitter and have coordinated a stunt before back in the summer, waving to each other with (non Disney-specific for legal reasons) cartoon mouse hands. This time, it was Christmas presents and it seems like Jimmy got the better end of the deal.\r\n\r\nIn case you missed it, here are the segments from Late Night<\/em> (complete with fake Secretariat<\/strong> and a nice dance from Jimmy:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: NBC<\/span>\r\n<\/embed><\/object>\r\n\r\nAnd the Late Late Show:\r\nVideo courtesy: TVsCraigFerguson<\/span>\r\n<\/embed><\/object>\r\n\r\nThe gift exchange between the two hosts was covered by everyone from National Public Radio<\/a> and the Washington Post<\/a> to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0TVSquad.com<\/a>, movieline.com<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 Zap2It.com<\/a> and many more.\r\n\r\nCraig’s assistant, Rebecca Tucker<\/strong> tweeted about the kittens that Craig sent to Jimmy:\u00c2\u00a0 Jimmy’s xmas kitties were adopted from Bideawee in NYC. Make a donation and save other rescued animals http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/3879skg<\/a><\/em> Jimmy tweeted to Craig:\u00c2\u00a0 Did you get my Christmas gift? Does it fit? You will get special treatment from anyone who sees you wearing it. Try it! <\/em> And Craig replied:\u00c2\u00a0 I got it buddy.it’s awesome.Thanks. Wearing it now to a big showbiz meeting. Do you like the kittens? They have magic powers. <\/em> And Jimmy added in reply to a follower’s question:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Yes. They took off. But we got ’em. RT @ronaldferris<\/a> @jimmyfallon<\/a> Craig wore your sweater last night on his show. Did you catch the kittens?<\/em>\r\n\r\nRebecca is already taking advantage of the low man on the totem pole:\u00c2\u00a0 Sent bridger <\/strong>down to get me breakfast http:\/\/twitpic.com\/3gtbsg<\/a><\/em> But perhaps she only did that because she was tired.\u00c2\u00a0 Check our her friend’s tweet:\u00c2\u00a0 Exhausted after being chased by a coyote. That’s not a metaphor. A real coyote actually chased me, @rebtuck<\/a>, and our friend down a street.<\/em> Our only question, Rebecca:\u00c2\u00a0 Was the coyote wearing an ACME jet pack?\r\n\r\nCraig’s opening act for his stand up tour, Randy Kagan<\/strong> must be feeling the recession:\u00c2\u00a0 I am so non profit I’m changing my last name to .org<\/em> He also sent a Craig picture from this year’s tour:\u00c2\u00a0 Proving I’m an AVATARD by spelling it wrong in previous Tweet. Here’s a pic. of CF. http:\/\/yfrog.com\/h0sdnoj<\/a><\/em>\r\n\r\nAnd Geoff Petersen<\/strong> is getting in the holiday spirit:\u00c2\u00a0 Saturday fun starts a little early. #placestohangyourballs<\/a>. Ho ho ho myyy!<\/em>\r\n\r\nJosh Robert Thompson<\/strong>, the voice of Geoff Petersen, had fun with the Twitter hoax about Morgan Freeman<\/strong>:\u00c2\u00a0 Morgan Freeman isn’t dead, he’s just been reincarnated: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QH3LiiG8cGg<\/a> #CNN #MorganFreeman <\/em>If you missed it, a Twitter user created a hoax tweet, designed to look like a retweet from CNN claiming Freeman had died.\u00c2\u00a0 CNN immediately denied it had reported such news and the Twitter user was discovered a few hours later.\u00c2\u00a0 And yes, that is Josh narrating the new Yogi Bear<\/em> movie that opened nationwide Friday.\r\n\r\nFans of author\/philosopher Cornel West<\/strong> will appreciate his tweet:\u00c2\u00a0 Delighted that I will join dear bro @CraigyFerg<\/a> on his show again very soon. Watch our last chat on Faith\/Spirituality. http:\/\/ow.ly\/3r1tJ<\/a> <\/em>We’ll let you know when he is scheduled.\u00c2\u00a0 Meanwhile, actress\/Director Lena Dunham<\/strong> enjoyed her appearance on the show Thursday:\u00c2\u00a0 Did Craig Ferguson. Eff, that man is charming. Tune in tonite to hear me confess a dark hole in my cinematic knowledge #onlyifyouwanna<\/em>\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>It should be a wild and hilarious Late Late Show on Friday with actor\/comedian Billy Connolly<\/strong> and comedienne Maria Bamford<\/strong> joining Craig.\u00c2\u00a0 Maria tweeted:\u00c2\u00a0 Tnite on CBS at 1235am\/1135 central with Craig Ferguson for 4 min, 9 sec. Me & pals got free soda, chow and Town Car ride. I got lady-T.<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Late Late Show crew is off for the holiday break but thanks to the magic of television, we’ll get to see four all-new episodes next week.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll have a guest update on Monday here on the site.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
