Every Saturday, former Obama speechwriter and self-described "comedian" Jon Lovett is joined live on stage by a killer lineup of comics, journalists, politician...
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.

What a Weekday: Mike Johnson's Rumspringa
Trump adds more haunted dolls to his cabinet of curiosities. Elon Musk is taking the government he purchased out for a joy ride. Matt Gaetz inspires us to ask the important questions like, “Where’s Nestor?” DNC members are pointing so many fingers, they’re going to put an eye out.
