Lovett or Leave It

This week, Donald Trump wings it as our lame duck president, before going hog wild on the press. Marjorie Taylor Green quits MAGA cold turkey, and Congress finally sinks its teeth into the the Epstein files. Hayley Kiyoko, Timothy Simons, and Pat Regan bite off more than they can chew ahead of Thanksgiving dinner, as Lovett helps our audience members spice things up, and we all get our cake and eat it too with a spin of the Gratitude Wheel.

Sedition: Impossible

Survivor hall-of-famer John Cochran revisits his legendary rise from tribe traitor to king of the island. He gets into the bullying antics of his first go at the crown, the mixed bag of superfans joining the game, and how the Survivor arena isn’t that too far off from the political one. He and Lovett also bond over their compulsion to self-deprecate, which seems to have worked out pretty well for them both so far.

Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with John Cochran)

The government shutdown is over, but the typo-ridden unraveling of Donald Trump’s Epstein coverup has only just begun! The iconic Henry Winkler stops by to celebrate turning 80 with a relaxing round of 80 Questions. The hilarious Mo Amer joins to help us rank Hollywood’s knockoff Jews and bootleg Arabs. And before we go, we rise up to bitch and moan in a brave act of resistance.

But Epstein's Emails

Dorinda Medley recounts her days during the wild west of Bravo, before housewives considered social media, glam squads, and consequences. And she talks about how reality TV helped her become the star of her own life, how years as an Upper East Side political spouse readied her for the high-heeled combat of Real Housewives, and how in both worlds the worst thing anyone can be is boring. She and Lovett also commiserate about being eliminated first from their respective competition shows, although Dorinda’s ouster from The Traitors was far less justified.

Democrats Rocked By Good News

This week, Trump’s got us all in a Catch-22nd Amendment, Reagan battles tariffs from beyond the grave, and Mike Johnson does what he does best: shut down. Steph Tolev and Daniel Webb drop the gavel on ChatGPT erotica and Lily Allen’s revenge album, and join Lovett to dig up the most ghoulish dating stories ever told. And we end the show like Bruce Springsteen would have wanted: by making sure our biopics cut the mustard.

Acclaimed and nearly interchangeable actors Michael Shannon and Allison Tolman grace us with stories about Nuremberg and fake blood gone wrong.

Sauvignon Blanc Nationalist

Parvati Shallow on femininity and flirtation as reality TV weapons, and how the "Black Widow" moniker cast a shadow on her real-life relationships. Parvati talks about how her strange childhood informed her decision to compete on Survivor, how reality TV has evolved, and how she has evolved with it. She's been a contestant on The Traitors, Deal or No Deal Island, and five seasons of Survivor, and being seen as a vixen-coded "villain" has given her a singular look into the expectations for women on screen and off. A fascinating conversation with one of the greats. And for an even deeper look into Parvati’s story, check out her book, “Nice Girls Don't Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power.”

Forever Young Republicans

Olivia Plath joins to talk about leaving Welcome to Plathville and leaving behind the fundamentalist Christian community in which she was raised. She shares what it’s like to leave a marriage that began on television when she was very young, why as a teen she felt she needed a gun to protect against a Hillary Clinton victory, and why she decided to talk more about the anger and abusive aspects of her relationship that did not end up on TLC. Olivia has been on a journey, much of it for the world to see, and it’s given her a fascinating perspective on reality TV, on what happens to kids when their parents seek fame, and what it’s been like to grow up in one world and then choose to live in another.

In this special limited series, Lovett sits down with reality icons who helped lead a hostile takeover not just of television, but of our culture. In intimate and revealing conversations, Lovett and his guests explore the ways these shows blur the line between authenticity and performance, the compromises of putting your life on television, the reality-TV-ification of our politics, and the secrets that don't make it on screen. What have reality stars learned about themselves, about television, and about America? And what happens to a society when the only thing worse than being hated is being boring? These are the questions we are trying to answer - either here, or at the reunion.
