The broadcast, now in just it’s second year in the US, topped last year’s total of 23 million dollars, and drew support from hundreds of celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic. The trade publication Variety<\/a> reported on the event, as did Digital Spy<\/a>, the Daily Mail<\/a> and many other outlets. Organizer Emma Freud wrote in the Telegraph<\/a> about the experience, and Broadcasting & Cable<\/a> talked about how viewers had nice things to say about Craig. You can see highlights of the show thanks to Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, and NBC posted the show<\/a> on its website.

Celebrity Name Game<\/em> will be running encore presentations through the summer with new episodes scheduled to begin in the fall. Meanwhile, new episodes of Join Or Die<\/em> are on hold for a few weeks as the History Channel airs its remake of the television series Roots<\/em>. They’ll be running the show in prime time and repeating each episode in other time periods, including Join Or Die<\/em>‘s regular Thursday 11pm time slot. There are still some new episodes to come, and as the RSA’s @bgrhubarb<\/strong> spotted in an article featuring an interview on Deadline.com<\/a> with the CEO of the channel’s parent company, History may be planning some episodes to coincide with the big political conventions this summer. Stay tuned.\r\n\r\nForward to Toronto\"05<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nComedian Mark Forward<\/strong>, who opened for many of Craig’s stand up shows on the Hot and Grumpy Tour<\/em> will be appearing at the Just For Laughs<\/a> comedy festival in Toronto, September 22nd through October 1st.\r\n\r\nGoing For The Win<\/strong><\/span>\r\nFeel like seeing an exciting win on Celebrity Name Game<\/em>?
