This week Craig’s TV watching habits opened the floodgates to a bigger question. There’s a new CNN docu-series about the tragic death of JFK Jr. called “American Prince” and while watching it, Craig somehow got the notion in his head that at some point in history and of all the tragic deaths surrounding The Kennedy family one of them happened to be eaten by a shark. The JFK Jr. story has been on Craig’s mind himself, not just because the show he’s watching but he too has a pilot’s license and is an avid fan of aviation. Have a question for Craig?

Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why?

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.

Coming at you live from London as Craig is on location for the week before returning stateside.

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.
