Craig Ferguson takes 'The Late Late Show' to Paris
"The Late Late Show" is going abroad: Craig Ferguson and Co. will tape a week's worth of shows in Paris later this month.Ferguson made the announcement on Monday's show, joking that "This is the first time in the history of this show that we've been allowed outside.
"Historically, when Americans don't know what to do next, they go to Paris. Benjamin Franklin is like 'What am I going to do now? I'll go to Paris!'"
The show -- which for the week will be renamed "Le Late Late Show Avec Craig Ferguson" -- will tape in Paris from June 13-17. Kristen Bell will join Ferguson and his robot sidekick Geoff on the trip; the rest of the lineup will be announced later. They're scheduled to air on CBS the week of Aug. 1.
Ferguson's announcement is below. We just wonder how he's going to start the show when he's in France: "It's a great day for France," maybe? "It's a great day to be an American in Paris"? We'll find out in a couple months.

Kristen Bell, awesome! She's got amazing chemistry with Craig--this'll be a blast.
He will say, "It's a great day to be an American in Paris."
And then songs from An American in Paris will play and he and Geoff and Kristen Bell will dance.
Okay, that's what happens in my head, we'll see what actually goes on.
Craig is going to the set of Ce Soir Avec Arthur.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get tickets for the shows in Paris? This may be the only occasion that I have to see Geoff! (Btw Ce soir avec Arthur is so bad compared to the late late show)
Kristen Bell is not exactly what you would call a "wit." Even Craig Ferguson is sharper than her and he is not so talented himself. The only fantards dumber than Kristen Bell fantards are maybe Sarah Michelle Gellar fantards, but at least SMG had potential before she became a monkey skeleton.
what is craig fergerson doing in Paris with Kristen Bell. Where,s his wife. It would be a cold day in hell before I let my husband go off to Paris with anyone but me. Is their trouble in paradise.
