The march towards the holidays continues, and though there are plenty of high-profile movies, television and concert events to promote, the talk show circuit is winding down, with this week being the last full week of guests before many of the shows go on hiatus for the last few weeks of the year. There are plenty of stars making the rounds this week, though there is no shortage of repeat guests. For example, after appearing on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last week, Snoop Dogg will be a guest on "The Colbert Report" on Monday (December 14), on "The View" on Tuesday (December 15) and on "Last Call with Carson Daly" on Friday (December 18). (Luckily, there's no such thing as too much Snoop.)
Elsewhere in the late night world, Kris Allen will perform on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday (December 16). Over on NBC, Jay Leno welcomes Nick Lachey on Tuesday (December 15), John Mayer on Wednesday and Mary J. Blige on Thursday. (Meanwhile, Friday night's episode of "The Jay Leno Show" features Glenn Beck and Kate Gosselin, a combination that may tear a gigantic hole in the universe.) "The Tonight Show" has a performance from Adam Lambert on Monday and another from Robin Thicke on Thursday.
But the big highlight of the week might just be Tuesday night's episode of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson." The host is celebrating his 1,000th show, and he's doing it with Kristen Bell, Maria Bello, Jason Scwhartzman and Jason Segal (accompanied by his Dracula puppet). If you can keep your eyes open long enough, it should make for a pretty unhinged hour of comedy.
