Wow, he looked really nervous. But I think it was a great interview.
I like his perspective on why Canadians are friendlier.
Still, there seemed to be times when he wasn't sure what to say to Ferguson. Doesn't matter, he can say it all with just a look. The man's talented that way.
I'm glad I stayed up to watch it.

Yeah, i took little catnaps between my Thursday night regular TV-watching and Craig...i haven't stayed up that late in a long time (made me feel old...but that's another story) and then i ended up falling asleep in the commercial JUST BEFORE Nathan came on and if it wasn't for the little schoolgirl screaming from the audience, i would have missed the whole interview! i woke up just as our Cap'n was talking about Universal picking up the movie...so...a replay anywhere online would be fantastic in a big way...anyone?
otherwise, he looked good, i felt he and craig played off each other well and aside from being WAY too short of an interview, i loved it. and, i did laugh when craig welcomed back the Browncoats, only to admit he didn't know what it meant. :)

AUGH!!!! I missed it!! For some reason, I had it in my head that yesterday was the 9th. On top of that, I was SOOO tired (for no real reason) that I was fighting sleep at 10pm. I finally gave in and went to bed at 11 -- thinking I'd be able to tape the show tonight!
RATS!!!
If anyone finds it on YouTube or hosts it somewhere, please let us know!

My recap of the taping-
Honestly there's not much to report. I took my mom and sister. It was mom's first time seeing Nathan aside from outside the Serenity Premiere. She did not attend the premiere.
We arrived late, though still in time to make it in. I saw many Browncoats I knew from other Shindigs, lots of hugs but I wanted to dedicate time to Mom and sis.
The button lady was there and she gave the warm up guy, Chucky B, a button and a 30 second Browncoat Firefly Nathan recap. It was very nicely done. Still of course weirded out Chucky B but nicely done nonetheless and he asked for the 30 second recap. She made a great effort to blend in and represent Browncoats well.
Once inside I was in the center but in the last row. The studio sits 113 people so it is small and the back is not that bad. There was a lot of energy in the studio and Craig commented on it. He said the audiences earlier in the week weren't so lively. Craig was really excited about us. At this time he did not know we were Browncoats. The first guest was Roseanne Barr. We all cheered for her. She was great she looked good and happy. She was a great guest. We all laughed a lot. Mom had a blast.
Nathan was after Roseanne. Craig introduced him with the clip from Waitress. Then out came Nathan and we all went wild. We cheered our Captain as the Beattle fans cheered. Others have made the same comparison of our response to Cappy. Nathan was used to us so he took it all in stride. Craig however was very surprised. He had no idea until then that we were fans of Nathan. The interview went well and the clip is on You Tube-here's the link:
The only part that was edited out was after the hot guys comment and Craig's that would rule you out. Nathan tried ot save it by saying he thinks its best to surround yourself with ugly friends or people who are dumber than you. Nathan made it really funny, but it got cut.
There are no autographs or time with the guests afterwards. So Nathan waves and he is off. Then Craig walks back to his desk and says to us, "You aren't here to see me." Either he's more talented an actor than I realize or he was truly disappointed to learn we were not actually there for him but for Nathan. I mean who's Nathan he has no idea he just met him. Chucky B gave Craig his Browncoat Button and that's how he knew who we were. Then when he came back from commercial he gives the shout out- My Frisky Browncoats.
I think Nathan did great and we were great, respectful audience members. I just wish Craig's feelings weren't hurt. The Button Lady had some buttons for Craig as well. They were of friends of his. At first Craig said I am not a button person. Then he realized she made an effort and brought something for him so he accepted the buttons and looked at each one. Craig is a great person and I am sure if he gave Firefly a real chance he would be a Browncoat himself.
I had to leave shortly afterward. So I was unable to hang with anyone but I was flying high. Nathan was great I was incredibly proud of him I have seen many folks look horrible as they interview and Nathan was completely on. I wish he could have been a little more articulate about Waitress since he has lots to say but time was limited.
I've seen Waitress and it is a great movie. Nathan is funny and Keri Russell is wonderful in this role. Adrienne Shelly did a great job.
Its a must have DVD.

Rosie,
As always, Thank You so much for sharing your experience.
What I can't understand....is why Craig didn't know anything about Firefly & Browncoats. I mean, doesn't he have a staff who helps him with all of this background info?
On the BBC radio interview, sounded like the interview did her homework ahead of time. Just wondering.....
I do hope Craig's feelings weren't hurt. He was recently on a huge book tour promoting his new book.

Rosie, thank you for that excellent report.
Do you think Ferguson really had his feelings
hurt? If so, we need to send a batch of cards
(not just e-mails!!!) thanking him for booking
our Big Damn Hero at long, long last. There
is a bit of gratitude to be expressed here, and
I am happy to help.
