* September 9th, 2013: ''"Series/ThePriceIsRight and my penis are very different of course! One's been around for over 50 years but Drew Carey made it bigger than ever....."'' Craig doesn't even ''finish'' that joke.
** Followed up by a pseudo-ImagineSpot where Craig shows what ''The Late Late Show'' would look like if ''Secretariat'' hosted. Secretariat simply comes out from the entrance and makes a mockery of Craig's mannerisms. [[http://youtu.be/Y9mflbO1vSA?t=6m21s Should be seen to be fully appreciated.]]
