Lovett or Leave It

Former Obama speechwriter, self-described 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, with 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.

Trump counterterrorism chief Joe Kent abandons ship, Tulsi Gabbard and Markwayne Mullin flounder in front of Congress, and Trump steers the nation straight into disaster. Meanwhile, Republicans are at each other’s throats and hitting below the belt. This week, Maria Bamford riffs on stand-up, mental health, and doing impressions of your dad you know he’ll hate. Utkarsh Ambudkar and Nico Santos give Lovett a taste of his own medicine, the medicine being spooky ghosts. And to close us out, we look back at it, with a juicy round of Second Thoughts.

MAGA’s Uncivil War

The excursion/war continues, and no one can explain why. This week, Paul Feig pours us a stiff one (or three) to talk erotic thrillers, political affairs, and Sydney Sweeney, while Monét X Change hits all the right notes chatting about Traitors, Drag Race, and Survivor. And before we end up under the table, we lay our cards on it, with a candid round of Second Thoughts.

Iran: Oops! All Ayatollahs

Kristi Noem gets the boot and Trump gets us into war with Iran. Then Nick Offerman handles wood like a pro, while Milana Vayntrub looks to the future through night-vision contact lenses, and Lovett has some Second Thoughts about revealing his actual, real, we’re not making this up, secret urinal design.

Noem Wrecker

This week, Trump leaves us in a state of disbelief, while the DOJ tries to paper over gaps in the Epstein files. Meanwhile, Kash Patel puts his FBI duties on ice, and the U.S. men’s hockey team finds itself on the rocks. Plus comedy legends George Wallace and Neal Brennan join to talk about what blocks us, and what doesn’t - from LA to Ibiza.

Skate of the Union

Lovett is in the air for this this Valentine’s Day special episode! Sarah Lazarus and Halle Kiefer join in the studio to take a look at a few absurd stories we missed, and to address your romantic and revealing queries from the Discord. Plus we work through our collective feelings about the Trump administration’s new coal industry mascot, Coalie. Let’s just say, Lovett’s a fan…

Happy Valentine's Bidet

Trump says we should smile more and talk less about the Epstein files, which is not going so well for him. In a barnburner of an episode, Lisa Rinna takes the Lovett or Leave It stage to take us behind the scenes of Traitors - and explain what happens when the inner Housewife is released. Then Rachel Bloom is back and we fall in love all over again. And we wrap it all up with a few second thoughts that are second to none.

The Kennedy Center Will Not Hold

Lovett brings the hot dish straight from Minnesota’s ICE protestors, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem freeze in place, and the Trump administration is caught off guard by the bravery of nice people. This week, Andy Richter and Vic Michaelis join Lovett for a few rounds of Interview Roulette, and lend some constrictive criticism to Kristi Noem, the Melania movie, and one very fat, damp coyote. And we end with some Second Thoughts for our number one guy.

Minnesota Breaks the ICE

This week, Trump plays chicken with Europe and lays a big ol’ goose egg, Minnesotans dish it out hot while ICE agents freeze, and JD Vance brings his trademark mid to the Midwest. Kevin Nealon tells it like it is, and then apologizes immediately after. Frankie Quiñones cracks us up with The Egg of Truth, and Lovett is second to none when it comes to having Second Thoughts.

Greenland New Deal

This week, Trump turns up the volume, and America shouts right back. ICE is no match for Minnesota nice. The Federal Reserve chair is forced to get less reserved, and Greenland gives America the red light. Robin Thede picks the ultimate rom-com bestie, while Michael Urie and Ted McGinley of Shrinking talk about acting with animals, babies, and Harrison Ford. And we end the show with Lovett and our three fabulous guests expressing a few very recent second thoughts.

Nobel Peace Prize, Gently Used

This week, JD Vance and Kristi Noem lie about a killing in Minneapolis. Donald Trump seizes Venezuela’s oil and Greenland’s attention. George Civeris and Andy Kindler stop by to evaluate upside food pyramids and dictator athleisure, while Jameela Jamil questions our answers about trad wives, TikTok and Heated Rivalry. And we end the show by resolving to get even more annoyed in 2026.

Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes

All aboard a brand-new episode of Lovett or Leave It, setting sail from Los Angeles’s beautiful Dynasty Typewriter theater. A vacationing tourist (Janet Varney) gives us the low down on a festively dystopian new cruise ship. Jared Goldstein helps us pack our bags with the most out-of-pocket celebrity endorsements. Tien Tran joins us for an early bird dinner on the gerontocracy deck, and Emily St. James reviews our on-board entertainment. We close out the show with the one thing you don’t really need on a ship: a wheel. Fortunately, this one is chock full of rants. See you at the sundae bar, if you have any room left!
