You’ve heard me say “mamaluke” for years. Today I’m finally handing out the official “Mamaluke of the Year” awards.

​

We run through 20 contenders—from Hollywood to politics to sports—and then I give you my top 3, plus a couple of honorable mentions that absolutely earned their spot. Some of you are going to agree, some of you are going to be furious… either way, it’s going to be fun.

​

I also share a bit about my 50‑year anniversary “remade” bottle and why your circumstances don’t define you—your decisions do. Drop your own Mamaluke of the Year in the comments.
