Although he had said he would tweet about when and where audiences could see him in action, Craig has not tweeted since Sunday afternoon in Russia and the rest of his team seems to be maintaining radio silence as well. We are still assuming that because of the short time frame and the cost of keeping a video crew on call, there must be at least some taping going on… perhaps of opening segments, comedy sketches and maybe even some interviews… but there have been no calls for audiences as yet.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve heard a few hints about possible guests, including the one Craig mentioned on the show last week, French actor Jean Reno<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 There is also British comedian and writer Charlie Higson<\/strong>, who recently exchanged tweets with Craig about getting booked on the show and who tweeted on Tuesday:\r\n

Popped over to Paris for lunch. Very civilised. Slightly pissed.<\/p>\r\nCould that lunch have included an interview with his old friend and writing partner Craig Ferguson?\u00c2\u00a0 We may have to wait until August to know for sure.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally, the RSA’s @ericphilippona<\/strong> tells us the French comedian Olivier Giraud<\/strong> has said on his Facebook page that he will be a guest later this week.\u00c2\u00a0 As always, if you see Craig or hear about what’s happening in Paris, please tweet us and we’ll pass it along!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Bonsoir!\r\n

ooo<\/p>\r\nCity of Lights Welcomes Craig<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Craig Ferguson<\/strong> is in Paris to tape a week of episodes of the Late Late Show, renamed appropriately, Le Late Late Show avec Craig Ferguson<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 We still have not seen a list of guests, apart from those Craig has mentioned so far:\u00c2\u00a0 French actor Jean Reno<\/strong> and Craig’s two sidekicks for the trip, Kristen Bell<\/strong> and Geoff Petersen<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig is expected to tweet the location of\u00c2\u00a0 tapings and ask a “flash mob” of fans to join him and create an instant audience.\u00c2\u00a0 As of late Monday evening, we have seen no tweets from Craig… so it is possible that there were no audience-related segments taped on Monday.\u00c2\u00a0 There are sure to be some comedy segments and other elements where an audience is not required, so the crew may well be working under the radar.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll continue to watch for any news of tapings and locations.\u00c2\u00a0 In the meantime, things seem to be going well.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig’s assistant Rebecca Tucker<\/strong> tweeted:\r\n

Friends in France are treating us very, very well. I think I could get used to this.<\/p>\r\nCraig on Arthur’s Show<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nOne of the possible reasons we haven’t heard of any LLS tapings so far is that Craig was busy Monday afternoon in Paris, appearing as a guest on Jaques “Arthur” Essbag<\/strong>‘s talk show. One of our readers posted a picture from the set in our comments section and there are more pictures here<\/a> and here<\/a>. We’re hoping to hear more from them about their experience.\u00c2\u00a0 Arthur’s show is off the air for the summer but is due to resume in September, so the segment will be held until then.\u00c2\u00a0 Because Arthur’s people have been diligent in keeping his show off of YouTube, it may be difficult for skellies outside of France to see the show but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.\r\n\r\nFrench Media Coverage<\/strong><\/span>\r\nCraig’s appearance on Arthur’s show was not widely known but French websites have been talking about Craig’s visit to Paris since January.\u00c2\u00a0 On the site Premiere.fr<\/strong>, in the original<\/a> article and the awful Google translation<\/a>, they talk about how Craig will be in the city this week and that it would create another opportunity to meet with Arthur<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 And on PurePeople.com<\/strong>, the original<\/a> article and even worse Google translation<\/a> talks about how Arthur is a big sports fan and that he would get along with Craig.\u00c2\u00a0 Our thanks to the RSA’s @Regan_Henry<\/strong> for helping us better understand those articles.\u00c2\u00a0 We appreciate our Francophone skellies for giving us a hand this week!\r\n\r\nCountry Music Fans<\/strong><\/span>\r\nCraig was among the notables congratulating the Country Music Association on the 40th anniversary of its festival.\u00c2\u00a0 AngryCountry.com<\/a> reports that Craig gave a pre-recorded message on the festival’s opening night last Thursday.\r\n\r\nJoel McHale in Chicago<\/strong><\/span>\r\nFrequent Late Late Show guest, television host and comedian Joel McHale<\/strong> will be performing in Chicago on Friday at the Chicago Theatre. Tickets<\/a> are still available for the 7:30pm show.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>Tonight’s Guests<\/strong><\/span>\r\nWhile Craig and Company are working in France, the re-run fairy is keeping the home fires buring on CBS.\u00c2\u00a0 Monday on the Late Late Show, we’ll see an encore of the April 14th episode featuring actress Kristen Bell<\/strong> and country singer Jason Aldean<\/strong> <\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 On Tuesday, it’s the April 18th show with actress Tina Fey<\/strong> and music by Everest<\/strong> <\/em>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Update: No Craig sightings so far today, Paris welcomes Craig, CF with Arthur, some French media coverage, country music fans enjoy Craig, Joel McHale comes to Chicago Friday, plus tonight’s guests from LA.<\/p>\n
