Crooked Media

Former Obama speechwriter, comedian and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett takes the stage for a new season of the hit show that dared guests from Danny DeVito to Amy Klobuchar to ask “What is this?” and “Where am I?”

Each week, Jon breaks down the biggest and dumbest stories in politics to help you keep up with and laugh at the news. And this season, stay tuned for big guests and surprising conversations you won’t find anywhere else.

New episodes every Saturday morning on your podcast feed and on YouTube. And if you’re in LA, come to a taping. You’ll be amazed by what we cut from the live show.

Lovett or Leave It

In our premiere episode, Lovett goes under the knife with Dr. Terry Dubrow, an icon of reality TV who has lived his life as a surgeon, husband, and father in front of the cameras on shows like Botched, The Swan and of course the Real Housewives of Orange County. You can see why Terry is considered one of the best dads and spouses in the Bravo Universe. And in this surprisingly open conversation, he also goes off on what he dreads most about filming Real Housewives, the ways housewives manufacture controversy to cling to fame, the risks of being a parent on television, and why he keeps coming back for more. Oh, and Lovett also asks him, “What kind of plastic surgery should I get?” because of course he did.

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.

Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with Dr. Terry Dubrow)

Today, the Lovett or Leave It team is off. But we’re excited to share an episode with you from one of my favorite YouTube series from the hosts of Hysteria called This F*cking Guy.

On this episode of "This F*cking Guy," Host Erin Ryan, and Crooked Media's Julia Claire dive deep into Stephen Miller's xenophobic past and obviously present. From his racist beginnings as a student, to helping implement the Muslim Ban as Trump's Senior Advisor, to his continued obsession with illegal immigrants in Trump’s second administration, this is truly one of our most depraved guys yet.

If you enjoy this episode, you can subscribe for video versions of This F*cking Guy on Hysteria's YouTube channel or by searching This F*cking Guy on YouTube or Spotify. You can also subscribe to Hysteria wherever you get your podcasts to hear audio versions of the show, now twice a month!

This F*cking Guy | Stephen Miller: Everything You Didn't Know About His Sh*tty Past

Donald Trump sics the Justice Department on his enemies, the UN sics its escalators on Donald Trump, and, somewhere in Florida, Lovett’s mom tries to remember if she took Tylenol. California Congressman Eric Swalwell stops by to discuss the potential shutdown, Prop 50, and liberal cringe’s greatest hits. Bassem Youssef and Paul Scheer join us to break down our bad reality and even worse movies. Then we give the wheel a 360 to look back on our own 180s, before spinning out into the night.

Escalating Tensions

Pretty nice First Amendment you've got there. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it. Trump’s FCC comes for Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney rolls out the red carpet. Michaela Watkins and Colton Dunn set their brains to “rot” to talk Hunting Wives, James Gandolfini, political acceptance speeches, and how drunk our Drunk Histories really got. Colton loses his shoes, but we all win, with a rousing game of Was I In This?, and we give our aging faves their flowers now, before they're pushing up daisies.

Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Gutfeld

Tensions rise in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing, as Trump and his allies blame the left before a suspect is in custody. Minnesota Rep. Leigh Finke stops to talk about trans freedom as the right tries to pin all of society's ills on trans people. The very funny Alex English, Punkie Johnson and River Butcher drop the gavel on your gayest little questions, and we end our week with a spin of the Rant Wheel, and boy, we’ve got plenty!

Political Violence Bad

This week, Trump dodges the crypt and rakes in the crypto. Congress comes down with a bad case of RFK Jr., and the Epstein survivors have Jeffrey’s old pals in a cold sweat. A die-hard Latino MAGA voter (Oscar Nuñez) stops by to explain why, despite all evidence, sí Trump puede. Oscar and Alex Borstein go on the record to guess all the news that’s fit to print. And then we crack open the Egg of Truth and have ourselves one shell of a time.

Congress Falls into an RFK-Hole

Trump puts the “dick” in dictator, Pete Hegseth takes D.C. to the gun show, and RFK Jr. weighs in on America’s mitochondria. CDC? How about he sees deez nuts?! Martha Plimpton takes Lovett to Task over her IMDB, while Siri Dahl and Jamie Loftus search through America’s freakiest porn terms. Lovett finally learns what sex is, and we finally send our most hated wedding trends back down the aisle where they belong.

Night at the MAGAseum

Donald Trump calls up the National Guard to avenge Big Balls, Pam Bondi furtively Googles “how to lead police department,” and D.C. residents finally feel safe on the cobblestone streets of Georgetown. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stops by to call bullshit on the Trump administration.

O Say Can You UFC

This week, the White House hosts its first annual Epstein Cover-Up Dinner, Trump feels the Labor pains, and Texas Democrats leave the Lone Star State even more lonely. Jeopardy’s Ken Jennings and Amy Schneider stop by to answer our questions and question our answers, while Tim Heidecker and Vanessa Gonzalez hallucinate an LLM (Large Laugh Model). And we leave the stage sizzling with our Hot Takes about Texas, Jeopardy, and the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Illinois Hold 'Em

It’s a heaping helping of tossed salad, scrambled eggs, and civil fraud here in Seattle. We give her 24 hours, Rep. Pramila Jayapal gives us the world. Lovett doesn’t really get Seattle, so the audience uses Fraiser to help explain its appeal. Madeleine Smithberg talks Letterman, Stewart, Carson and French Onion Dip. And we do rapid fire rants, high notes, and a check in with the Batman to Seattle’s Gotham: The Green Jacket Lady.

 

Thank you, Moore Theatre!
