  • Meghan Markle, Marco Rubio and Ben Meiselas

    Meghan Markle, Marco Rubio and Ben Meiselas
    Mar 6 2025
    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.”

  • Michael Wolff: MAGA Meltdown and Melania’s Game

    Michael Wolff: MAGA Meltdown and Melania’s Game
    Feb 27 2025
    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.”

  • Jim Acosta Challenges Trump to a Sit-Down

    Jim Acosta Challenges Trump to a Sit-Down
    Feb 20 2025
    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.”
