First guest: Juliette Lewis, lead singer of Juliette and the Licks. The band just finished up their big U.S. tour with a gig at the Troubador in L.A. They travel on a bus, which she says is greatly superior to a van. I understand that. Completely. After seeing some of the vans my favorite bands travel in, I can't imagine how the manage to stay sane and maintain the ability to walk upright. Talk about cramped!

Not much going on with Juliette and movies these days. She's been focused on the music and touring. Thankfully, she possesses enough talent to pull that off as well as she does acting.

Next guest: Brian Van Holt of Threshold. Try as you might, there wasn't much to draw out of him. He's pleasant enough, but essentially, he's just another actor and that's about it.

Musical guests: Juliette and the Licks performed at the end of the show. Talk about energetic! I'm sure that her shows are jam-packed full of frenetic movement. And that's a good thing.

Best line of the night? "Sometimes you're just not in the mood for a monkey."

Well, that's it for a quick wrap on this show.

Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,

Joanie

Bedtime should be fun and exciting. Craig Ferguson can make that happen. Check out The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS, Monday-Friday, 12:30 AM, Pacific, and see for yourself. If you can't stay up that late and/or refuse to record the show, you can always catch up on the monologues and skits on the LLS website.

About the author: Joan's fascination and adoration of Craig Ferguson is little more than silly fantasy, with a dash of lust, the likes of which are common amongst single 39 year-old women. She lives many miles safely south of Los Angeles and CBS Studios. You know, they say that fish and house guests begin to go bad after three days. I had fun with my friend here, but honestly? He's the kind of guy who's wound so tight that everyone around him ends up constipated. I miss him when he goes, but sometimes a week is more than I can take.
