Paris Hilton Joins Ferguson in Five Distinct Primetime Comedy Spots on March 2

Jim Parsons Appears in Character as Sheldon from “The Big Bang Theory” in the Five Spots on March 9

Craig Ferguson (“The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”) will host CBS’s Monday Night with a series of primetime comedic spots on March 2 and 9. The interstitials will lead into “The Big Bang Theory,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Rules of Engagement” and “CSI: Miami.”

Paris Hilton joins Ferguson in a cameo role in the five distinct primetime comedy spots on March 2, the last of which teases her guest appearance on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” later that evening. Jim Parsons makes a special guest appearance as his character, Sheldon, from “The Big Bang Theory” in the five unique spots on March 9.

The spots are set in Ferguson’s shabby, but not chic, faux home, where Hilton and “Sheldon” join him, separately, for TV dinners and a night devoted to watching CBS’s five Monday night series.

“The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” is broadcast Monday through Friday, 12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT, following “Late Show with David Letterman.”

I wonder what type of food was in Paris’s TV dinner. and if she finished her plate.? I’d love to have an evening with Paris watching TV & getting cozy on the couch. MY Lucky Day!!!

I’ll watch this. But that this mean primetime show will appear at primetime and then a regular Late, Late Night with Craig Ferguson show will be shown from 12:30-1:30 AM? Hope Paris does well. This can be a breakthrough for her as a comedienne.

*Disappointed* Damn, I look through my listings both last night and tonight, just in case they had it on the day before due to midnight being a new day…. and it was on NEITHER DAY. Gaaahhh, Paris, come and kidnap me, force me to stay a sleep over at your house! *LOL* Well it would make me feel better!
