Craig Ferguson's new sidekick is here!

If you've been playing along at home, you'll know that I've been keeping you posted for some time now on the status of Craig Ferguson and his plans to add a robot skeleton sidekick (Geoff Peterson) to his show.

Geoff has arrived! And, what an insane start to the proceedings last night….

Great look for Geoff with the steel Mohawk, but the suit needs some work.

More fun with Geoff:

Kristen Bell was the first guest to hang with Craig and Geoff, and she did quite well, despite her protests that she’d make a better sidekick than Geoff.

Geoff currently has seven catch phrases that he can throw in to the conversation at any time; all are designed to praise Craig and/or laugh at his jokes – just like any other sidekick/second banana you’ve ever seen before.

Geoff’s creator, Grant Imahara from Mythbusters, was also along to talk about Geoff’s skills and journey to L.A. from the secret Mythbusters lab in San Francisco.

Geoff seemed to fit right in, by all accounts. And, speaking of accounts – Geoff even has his own Twitter account - YES, A ROBOT SKELETON HAS ITS OWN TWITTER ACCOUNT.

More insanity is sure to follow….and we’re all the better for it.
