Lovett or Leave It

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, Bronwyn Newport, is in it for the friendships! Bronwyn opens up about leaving the Mormon church, becoming an American citizen, and striking a balance between vulnerability and self-preservation on the show. She reflects on what she's learned about herself from being on TV and the power of conversations she's had with family members when the cameras are rolling. Lovett also checks in on how Bronwyn is feeling ahead of the upcoming RHOSLC reunion and who her closest friends are going into that almost certainly messy conversation.

Mike Johnson tries to skirt the ladies of the GOP, while Kash Patel can’t help but jacket.

Rachel Lindsay talks about what it's like to go from being a lawyer, to Bachelor contestant, to the first Black woman to be the Bachelorette. Can you actually find love on these shows? Can you ever trust that it's real? And what role to do fireball shots play in the process? Plus Rachel reflects on the moment she realized producers were preparing her to lead the franchise, even as they seemed to be worried about racial stereotypes in how she might be perceived by the audience. She talks about the perfect storm that led to Chris Harrison’s fateful interview on Extra which ultimately led to his ouster from the Bachelor world entirely. And Lovett does ask about the fantasy suites, but from a place of concern and confusion, mostly.

Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with Rachel Lindsay)

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. Robin Tran joins to give our angelic audience some hellish advice, then we bravely rise to double down on the worst things we love.
