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

Tragically, Lovett entered a catatonic state this week after watching Wicked 24 times in a 72 hour period. Luckily, that gave us the perfect opportunity to welcome Keep It’s Louis Virtel as our substitute host! This week, the Oscar goes to Bruce Vilanch for juiciest behind-the-scenes gossip. Raven Symoné spells out her life in television, and it’s worth way more than seven points. And Louis and the gang pick out the gay gift for the gifted gay in all of our lives.

But His Mom's Emails feat. Louis Virtel

Trump launches a fragrance and lays out a 100 day agenda (and they both stink!). The internet loses what's left of its mind over a murder. Bashar al-Assad takes a holiday in Moscow, and we hold space for the space being held by the stars of Wicked.

What a Weekday: Caught at McDonald's

Lovett or Leave It has officially loved and left another perfect year in America. This week, Margaret Cho and Fortune Feimster look back on the moments that red, white and blew our minds in 2024. Luenell brings enough hot, fresh takes to feed us all ’til 2025. Lovett and his guests shake their fists at the holidays, and nine gay little reindeer pull us along for one last Joyride before New Year’s.

What a Weekday: If You're In Line To Be President, Stay In Line

Before you snuggle up in front of a roaring fire with your loved ones and watch Conclave as is the new tradition, enjoy this end-of-year gift from the Lovett or Leave It team. That’s right, Kendra, Halle, Lazarus, Chris, Kennedy, and Lovett all hand-wrapped this best-of episode, full of Hollywood tales, existential ennui, gay musings, and the right amount of oversharing, just for you. So go ahead, pour yourself a mug of hot cocoa, Google “Stanley Tucci IMDB,” and take a listen to Jane Fonda, Kathleen Turner, Matt Rogers, Rachel Bloom, Busy Philipps, Ts Madison, Thomas Lennon, and Rob Reiner. And if you see the Ghost of Christmas Past… tell him Simon Rex says hello.

Lovett or Leave It: For Good

And we’re back for our first show of 2025, earnest, eagle-eyed, and already exhausted. This week, Los Angeles battles wildfires, while conservatives battle lesbian firefighters. Ron Perlman brings a bit of Hellboy to the city of angels, while Langston Kerman explores what’s so cool in SoCal. Our audience tells us their top tales of Tinseltown, and Lovett remains vigilant against the coyotes of Griffith Park.

DEI Didn’t Start The Fire

WELL here we go again. Trump's pardons, Melania's hat, Elon's gesture, our hell. Comedian Guy Branum and the Scam Goddess herself Laci Mosley stop by to distract us with sweet, sweet television and rate the biggest scams (so far) of the second Trump administration. Plus Oscar nominations, sexually charged honey, and the comfort foods getting us through it all. One week down.

Hail to the $Chief

Here we are, one thousand years into Trump’s second term, with a brand new Lovett or Leave It! This week, Bernie refuses to baby RFK Jr. and the federal funding freeze sends everyone into a meltdown.

And at long last Lovett sees Emilia Perez and reveals the truth about this film and the French writ large. Week two down.

Lovett or Leavitt

This week, Elon Musk is the ghost in the machine, that ghost being Slimer. The Treasury and USAID go down, Democrats stand up, and Mitch McConnell tumbles every which way but loose. Jason Isaacs stops by to share his decades of villain experience. Andy Richter and Paula Poundstone turn over a big rock and recoil at the week in news, and Lovett and his guests hand-select their teeniest, tiniest, pettiest complaints to share with you.

Who Let the DOGE Out?

This week, Donald Trump squares off against the judicial system, Democrats circle the wagons, and Elon Musk drags his hexagonal ass into the Oval Office. Thomas Lennon runs rings around this week in news. Harvey Guillén and Lovett get caught in a platonic love triangle with ChatGPT, and we come full circle with the forbidden delights of the Can’t Wheel.

DOGE and Penny Show

The worst people believe their worldview has been validated, while the best people are uncertain, scared, and angry. But we have to stay focused on the menace, including the threat to officials Trump may target for revenge—and the immigrants whose cheap and willing labor helped build our economy. Tim Miller joins Lovett for a special crosspost with the The Bulwark Podcast.
