The little birds tell us that crews from HGTV spent many grueling hours in the home weaving studio of Christopher Granger yesterday, getting just the right shots for his debut on the network's new fall show, "That's Clever!" (It's a revamped version of the current "Crafters Coast-to-Coast," and I dare say my opinion is they should stick with that name. In my experience, when you have to say what the thing is right in the name, e.g. "It's Fashion!" or the Renault "LeCar," generally you're trying hard to overcompensate...)

Anyhoo, Christopher is, in fact, clever and crafty and opinionated and America will love him when he introduces them to the joys of weaving. And perhaps bee-keeping? He's a man of many interests.

UPDATE: here's the star's own take on the day, complete with spicy beekeeper-man photos...
