This is me, Craig Ferguson. I'm inviting you to come and see my brand new comedy hour.

Well, it's actually about an hour and a half and I don't have an opener because these guys cost money.

But what I'm saying is I'll be on stage for a while.

Anyway, come and see me live on the Pants on Fire tour in your region. Tickets are on sale now

and we'll be adding more as the tour continues throughout

2025 and beyond. For a full list of dates, go to the Craig Ferguson Show.com. See you on the road,

my dears. Hello everyone, welcome to the Joy Podcast. My name is Craig Ferguson and you are my guest today at the Joy Podcast.

As you can probably tell from my surroundings.

If you're watching this, of course, if you're listening to it, let me paint a word picture for you.

I am sitting in a room which has an American flag, Stars and Stripes, pillow on the

tasteful beige couch. I also have behind me a picture of the rock band, The Doors.

And on the ceiling, behind me, a sort of mock candelabra, a mock chandelier, a

chandelier, I guess, with mock candles, or mandals, as they are known as of this very moment in time.

With all of that information you've probably guessed by now and of course this thing here I'm about to show you this

a small rockery, a small Ersats rockery Garden, a little garden with some succulents, but pretend succulents.

I'm in the great city of Los Angeles, California. I'm in California. I have been here for

since Wednesday of last week.

So almost a week, I have been here, and I've been all over the state.

I've been to San Francisco.

I've been to Monterey.

I've been to San Diego, or San Diego, as sometimes it's called.

But I like to call it San Diego.
