Last night, Craig Ferguson finally unveiled his new robot sidekick, Geoff Peterson, a smartly dressed skeleton constructed by Mythbusters guru Grant Imahara.

The Late Late Show celebrated Geoff's debut with a musical cold open and then a sit-down with one of the show's favorite guests, Kristen Bell, who tested Geoff's tolerance with a story about her own dietary intolerance. Those moments, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while reviewing your Easter Egg Roll performance, after the jump.
