TV’s Craig Ferguson from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson made a Twitter account.  Then he decided to call all of his followers his “robot skeleton army.”  Then Grant Imahara from MythBusters send Ferguson a tweet ultimatum: if Ferguson could somehow get Imahara to exceed 100,000 followers, he would help him create an actual robot skeleton sidekick for the late night show.  Since Ferguson had a massive  “robot skeleton army” it did not take long for them to help Imahara gain over 120,000 followers.  Also, Ferguson happens to be a huge Mythbusters fan so he was psyched for all this to happen.  Watch the video above to learn about Geoff Peterson, robot skeleton sidekick.

How will Geoff Peterson interact on the show?  Says Imahara: “In auto-mode setting, Craig can sit at his desk with a black box and hit any of seven red buttons for these pre-recorded responses.  In manual mode, there’s radio-control movement.  [Geoff can be put] “on a stand… and by remote-control, Craig can move [the robot’s] head, jaw, and arm.”  “[Ferguson’s] very into the design of it.  They have big plans for Geoff Peterson. Craig and the writers think they may want to send Geoff out into the world, interview people — things like that.”

You can see the recently unveiled Geoff Peterson in action on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  It airs weeknights at 12:37PM on CBS.
