Craig Ferguson Hits the Road in New CNN Docuseries
The beloved Scottish-American funnyman is trading late-night laughs for a soul-searching road trip across the USA in his brand-new CNN series.
Craig Ferguson is back on your screen — and this time, he's swapping the talk show desk for the open road. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former Late Late Show host is fronting a new CNN Original series called American on Purpose, in which he travels coast to coast exploring the big ideas, messy contradictions, and enduring spirit that make the United States tick.
Ferguson, who famously became a U.S. citizen in 2008, brings a uniquely outsider-turned-insider perspective to the project. The Hollywood Reporter notes the series digs into the defining concepts at America's core — a timely premise that feels equal parts celebration and honest reckoning with the country's complex identity.
Wondering where to catch all the action? The series streams on CNN, with episodes available on Max for those who prefer binge-watching on their own schedule. Whether you're a longtime Ferguson fan or simply hungry for a fresh take on what America really means in 2024, this one looks like essential viewing. Consider this your sign to tune in.
