Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:30:56 GMT

It’s been nearly a decade since he signed off from CBS’ “The Late Late Show” in 2014, but Craig Ferguson still loves making us laugh.The former late-night comedian brings his “Fancy Rascal” standup comedy tour to the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia this Saturday night.“I actually named it after my Jack Russell dog,” Ferguson told WTOP. “What you have to do when you’re choosing the name for a tour is choose something that’s not going to annoy anybody, and I think ‘Fancy Rascal,’ I can’t imagine anyone being annoyed at that for some reason, but maybe, we’ll find out. … That being said, I don’t want to elevate anyone’s expectations: the dog will not be on stage!”Just because he’s called into our D.C. radio station, don’t expect him to make any political jokes.“I made a decision about six years ago that I would no longer do any politics on...

The driest place in North America has sprung to life with lakes and flowers after Hurricane Hilary

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:30:56 GMT

(CNN) — California’s Death Valley is the hottest place in the world and the driest place in North America.

The torrent of water washed away trails and much of everything else in...
