Craig Ferguson: JKRowling/Stephanie Meyer Spoof

I think Craig Ferguson is so funny. I think this is the first time I've seen Meyer figure in a comedy sketch.

Ha!
New American citizen, Craig Ferguson, just referred to the new Speed Racer movie as "NASCAR Harry Potter."

I was interested to see what books are available to enthuse young Speed Racer fans.

Craig Ferguson's J.K. Rowling

JK Rowling's lawsuit against Steve Vander Ark and the planned print version of the Harry Potter Lexicon web site has been much in the news.

From Pantagraph.com:

RDR Books Publisher Roger Rapoport said the suit dismayed him but vowed that he wouldn't allow it to block plans to release the Lexicon next month. He described the book as a "critical reference work" and dismissed any notion that it could compete with any official encyclopedia written by Rowling.

Rapoport said Vander Ark was a middle school librarian who started the Web site in his spare time in 2000, then watched its popularity grow to the point where Rowling herself gave it a Fan Site Award in 2004.

"He cannot understand why she wouldn't be supportive now," Rapoport said.

This news item reminded me of one of Craig Ferguson's send ups of Rowling. He just makes me laugh.
