Joy, a Podcast. Hosted by Craig Ferguson

Since we last checked in Craig has traveled to the West Coast for some tour dates. As it appears to become a tradition, he sat down to answer some fan questions. From saying the wrong thing, passive aggressive A.I., white whales, or classic cars, Craig runs it all down for us.

From questions about paranormal experiences, tattoos, his late show, and maybe even a couple takes on pants. So grab a cup of coffee and settle down for another check in with Craig Ferguson.

Tim Sullivan and Craig have known each other for more than 30 years. That means they were both running wild doing stupid things. Then they both got older Tim worked in TV and movies (Alfresco, Sherlock Holmes, Flushed Away, Shrek 4) as Craig went to the US to star in TV and host a late night talk show. When the world shut down in 2020, Tim found a new passion, writing detective novels. Specifically a series of detective novels featuring the title character George Cross. The books, 8 in total, were first self-published but have since been picked up and published in various different languages. On October 21st his new book, The Dentist will be published by Grove Atlantic. You can order it here. Craig sits down with his old friend and reminisces of their time growing up, tell some incredible stories about their friendship and how Tim found a new secondary career later in life.

Craig is still on location overseas for work. But he's never been one to let you down, as he taped this episode of the Joy Podcast while having his morning coffee.
