Comedian Talk Show Appearances: Week of Dec. 14

Pretty thin week, and it’ll get worse ’til the New Year. Not like we have time to watch much tv around the holidays anyway, right?

Also of note: Tuesday is Craig Ferguson’s 1000th show (already?!) and it’ll be a big extravaganza with the crocodile puppet hosting. If that’s not enough to make you want to watch, you haven’t been paying enough attention to Ferguson.
