As we reported back in March<\/a>, the show focuses on an up-and-coming producer named Jake (played by Kyle Howard<\/strong>) trying to deal with the crazy host of a TV game show named Toby (played by Craig). Production will continue through April 22, and then it becomes a waiting game to see if NBC will want to move forward with the show. Crunch Time<\/em> is one of 14 comedy pilots getting a look from NBC this year, so there is a lot of competition for what may amount to two or three available time slots. We’ll keep an eye on the show’s progress and keep you up to date.\r\n\r\nMark Forward on ‘Join’<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"05<\/a>Canadian comedian Mark Forward<\/strong>, who has appeared on The Late Late Show<\/em> and opened for Craig on many tour stops in 2015, was a guest on Join Or Die<\/em> last week, along with public relations expert Howard Bragman<\/strong> and comedian Jay Leno<\/strong>. This week’s episode asks viewers to vote on history’s greatest man-made structure. The guests will be actor Adam Goldberg<\/strong>, comedian Noel Wells<\/strong> and TV host Ty Pennington<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nIf It’s Not Scottish…\"Scot-View\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe RSA’s @bgrhubarb<\/strong> was exploring the interwebs the other day and found a fun piece on Buzzfeed<\/a>, purporting to demonstrate what Americans think Scotland is like compared to what it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually like. While it’s probably not quite like that, we got a chuckle out of it.\r\n\r\nEpic Contestant<\/strong><\/span>\r\nCelebrity Name Game<\/em> is back to showing fresh, new Season 2 episodes from now through May, and Craig will be taping more episodes for Season 3 next week. Here’s we get a look at one of the show’s most legendary contestants, and how celebrity guest Melissa Peterman<\/strong> dealt with him.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: Celebrity Name Game<\/span>\r\n
