March 06, 2025 Meghan Markle, Marco Rubio and Ben Meiselas
Sam Bee jokes she’s the “Chief Content Officer of Lauren Boebert’s spray tan” before diving into Trump’s speech, which Coles calls “magnificent television” but warns he’s entering his “Castro phase” of seven-hour speeches. Bee slams Republicans as “half too dumb to pound sand,” while Coles dubs Usha Vance a “mini clapper.” They torch Meghan Markle’s Netflix show—“It’s an Instagram feed, not a show”—and question sprinkling flowers on donuts. Ben Meiselas of MeidasTouch—who recently surpassed Joe Rogan on the Apple podcast charts—calls Marco Rubio a “defeated man,” adding, “He was the rising star… now he’s slouching for Zelensky.”

February 27, 2025 Michael Wolff: MAGA Meltdown and Melania’s Game
Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell All or Nothing, rips open the turmoil behind Trump’s campaign: “They hate each other.” His staff is locked in a ruthless survival game, “all leaking.” Trump was “terrified of dying on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane,” and Melania “doesn’t live with him.” Instead, “she’s cashing in.” He berates his lawyers, “Have you heard of Perry Mason?” Wolff calls his latest strategy “bigger provocations” and predicts Elon Musk will last “six months, tops.” Joanna Coles rocked sneakers at the SAG Awards while celebs endured “Ozempic-fueled starvation.” People president Leah Wyar says Hollywood’s hottest skincare trend is “salmon sperm injections—yes, really.”

February 20, 2025 Jim Acosta Challenges Trump to a Sit-Down
Jim Acosta (dubbed “major sleazebag” by Trump) is letting loose since leaving CNN, warning, “What we’re seeing is perhaps even more disturbing than the last Trump presidency.” He slams Trump’s pardoning of January 6 rioters as “an act of aggression against democracy” and mocks his alliance with Musk: “Trump hands him the presidency—Musk vacuums up private data, lays off thousands.” Samantha Bee and Joanna Coles debate polyester cheetahs, doomsday prepping (“Tuna is a superpower”), and Bezos’ $40 million payout for Melania’s doc. Ben Sherwood shares plane crash survival tips: “Sit within five rows of an exit, wear lace-up shoes—every second counts.”

February 13, 2025 Sam Bee Hits Back at Lorne; Jan Teases Office Return
Melora Hardin (The Office’s Jan Levinson) called surviving the LA fires “surreal,” recalling how her home was spared while friends lost everything. “This is the time you want to meet a neighbor who has a gun,” she said. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast’s David Gardner covered Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation as National Intelligence Director and Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center. “Are we replacing ballet with military marching bands?” he joked. Trump wins The Super Bowl. Hardin reacted to John Krasinski’s Sexiest Man Alive title—“Sure!“—and teased, “Maybe I’d pop in,” for The Office reboot.

February 06, 2025 Amy Klobuchar, Blake Lively and Aroused Democrats
Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee kick off The Daily Beast Podcast in a state of Chuck Schumer-level “arousal”—over Trump turning Gaza into a “beachfront resort” and Elon Musk’s “Lost Boys” running the government like “a DJ at Ultra Music Festival.” Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar slams Trump’s agenda as a “constitutional horror show” and jokes she’s organizing senators “like a trip to The Container Store.” People President Leah Wyar unpacks the $400M Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively legal drama, while Bee likens It Ends With Us to “being suffocated by his face.” And Coles receives the ultimate gift—her very own Lauren Sánchez poster.
