It’s been a week packed with travel for Craig as he’s been zigzagging across this great nation shooting segments for his freshly-announced CNN show, American On Purpose. But in addition, he’s also been performing stand-up in between, in a nutshell it’s a lot of commercial travel for Craig. But that doesn’t mean you won’ get your spark of Joy this week. Craig wouldn’t leave you like that.

This week Craig reveals the reason he’s been on the road so much for the last few months. That’s because news this week broke that his new CNN TV show, American on Purpose will be premiering shortly on the network. It’s based on the NY Times Bestselling book of the same name that Craig wrote a few years back when he first became a citizen of the United States. It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States and the goal of the show is to celebrate the United States. Being proud of our great country while at the same time not taking a jingoistic approach about it. Working with the folks at CNN that worked with the late, great Anthony Bourdain.

It’s an arctic theme this week. And totally by accident as Craig recalls a story about an Arctic expedition that ends with frozen body parts, wild animals, bears (both grizzly and polar), and some bity sharks. But it does eventually lead to the question, are Koalas real bears?

Coming at you live from London as Craig is on location for the week before returning stateside. But the jetsetting has left Craig jetlagged but rather than being unproductive he decided to give us an impromptu book club. So he went online and ordered 4 books that he has to recommend to us. But there’s a catch, he’s yet to read the books. So he’s flying purely on titles and descriptions for us. Buckle up.

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all? But first some light housekeeping and a quick addressing of a unintentionally controversial take about bagpipes from last week's episode and possibly following it up with another unpopular opinion about more music. Heck, even Emily In Paris is unsafe.
