Geoff Peterson
Geoff Peterson is an animatronic human skeleton that served as the sidekick on the late-night talk show ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson''. He is voiced and operated by Josh Robert Thompson and first appeared on ''The Late Late Show'' on April 5, 2010. Often referred to as a "robot skeleton", Peterson is a radio-controlled animatronic robot puppet designed and built by Grant Imahara of ''MythBusters''.〔 He has glowing blue eyes, a metal mohawk (which is sometimes covered by a Santa Claus hat in December) and wears an oversized suit with his name scrawled on a contestant's name tag from ''The Price Is Right'' on his jacket, as well as Mardi Gras beads and a Super Bowl XLVII press pass around his neck. He serves as a co-host of sorts and Ferguson refers to him as "my gay robot pal." He is most visible during the first half of the show (the cold openings, monologues, and Tweets and Emails segments) and the final segment, "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?".
==Creation==
The idea came from Craig Ferguson's repeated complaints that his show suffered due to its lack of a house band or sidekick〔〔 and his expressed desire to have his own "Robot Skeleton Army". Robot Skeleton Army is Ferguson's name for his Twitter followers, a reference to the cybernetic creatures from the ''Terminator'' franchise.〔〔 ''MythBusters'' Grant Imahara volunteered to create the robot if Ferguson could get him 100,000 Twitter followers, which he achieved within 24 hours.〔〔 On the idea and development of Geoff:
According to Imahara, he worked on it weekends and in his spare time, creating a "plastic skeleton with aluminum bones and torso" that "shares a lot with R2-D2 and the Energizer Bunny" (both of which Imahara had previously worked on).〔 Ferguson was directly involved and "very into the design of it"; he and the show's writers "think they may want to send Geoff out into the world, interview people — things like that."〔 Imahara says the name "Geoff Peterson" was chosen by Ferguson:
Initially, the robot was able to say seven pre-recorded phrases, triggered by buttons under Craig's desk. This was later upgraded to wireless control by one of the show's writers offstage using an iPad.〔 Peterson was upgraded again in July 2010, allowing him to shake his head, keep his mouth open, and move his right hand up and down. Ferguson noted that this is because his "wise ass" chip was activated.〔 On September 2, 2013 new upgrades were debuted as the right arm now has an elbow and the previously motionless left arm now has full movement as well, although his left hand fell off during that night's episode. He can also now turn his eye lights off and on to simulate closing and opening his eyes.
