Smartest and Best

I am such a huge fan of this show. The writing, production and execution is so pitch perfect and it is a pocket of joy in the Stupid Apocalypse in which we find ourselves. As a personal note, let me just say I think we all would understand if Jon needed to go back to therapy instead of doing What a Weekday in light, again, of the Stupid Apocalypse in which we find ourselves. No midweek episode is worth your health, Mr. Lovett!

Love it!

I am so grateful to the episode you did with Tim Miller and feeling safe to be emotional about what this election loss means to you. It's how half of a country is feeling and nobody knows how to anchor themselves and move forward. It really resonated to know that you feel the same way and you felt comfortable bearing a little bit of your soul to the rest of us that are also grieving. Keep up the good work. Your intellect, experience and ability to succinctly put things into perspective is needed now more than ever.

He’s the Best

The smartest and funniest, topped off with a heart of gold.

Best visuals of any podcast.

I imagine the visuals are better than any other podcast. No other podcast even mentions their visuals. That’s how you know Lovett has the best.

Funny, intelligent, and informative

Entertaining and informative show. I’m not sure if it will comfort me or make me more crazy during the upcoming administration…..but I’ll love it, Lovett, and not leave it….
Leftism will destroy us

Leftist nonsense

The show post trump election was a pity party where the hosts and audience was about to cry over the election results. Weak people with weak opinions, shame on Chris Hansen for suggesting this trash.
Ryan (but the good kinda)

First time long time

Been listening for a while now, along with other crooked media pods. This is my first podcast review (kinda hard to even find how to do it) ANYWAY, this pod is rad. You could hardly tell Jon was a writer on the third season of Newsroom because this podcast is so funny and well written. Sorry Lovett, just tryna give you guff - did I mention this podcast is kinda hilarious! I only wish there was more Emily’s Garden Show content. 10/10 would pod again.

11/9 show was really needed. Thanks Lovett and team.

Just was wonderful to hear people ask questions and express frustrations and leaving it out there for people to come together.
ccarthey

Oh thank god.

My very favorite podcast, but I always found the High Note portion insufferable and cut off the show a few mins short. Three cheers for a new ending segment!!! 🎊🍾👯

Weekend Update but the host lived in WeHo once

If you want to stay informed, but you also want to enjoy it, Lovett or Leave It is a sharp take on a political podcast for people who hate politics but are too smart to ignore their importance, and funnier. Each episode is like if Survivor voted the host off first because he couldn’t tell the difference between an immunity idol and a coconut, then sent him home with a microphone, a dream, and maybe a small chip in the shoulder of his knit sweater polo. Missing an episode is as disappointing as missing 3 dinners.

Perfect Show 11/2

Lovett and crew were killing it today— the perfect show before the election. A great mix of poignancy and hilarity— thank you!

Love It!

The more often I listen the better it gets. I’ve been listening to Lovett or Leave It for about4 years and it just gets better every time. These are people who have the same anxiety we all have plus they’re funny .

Bill Nye is the BEST GUEST EVER

Love this show so much - but the Lovett and Nye rapport this week was next level!! Bring him back often, Lovett!! Great show - everyone was fantastic.
Daddy-Pops

Thank you!

This is one of the best podcasts around. So good!

Not a nice person

Love Crooked- but Lovett is their weakest link. Makes comment sometimes that show what an outrageous elitist he is. Plus sometimes slightly homophonic comments- that’s not okay

Insufferable as always.

For Andy’s best friend

Long time listener. My favorite crooked podcast. Realized I never left a review. Figured after his Survivor appearance he could use the extra kudos
soulrockerTLee

Kudos to Jon

…for even going on Survivor!! You were wrongfully voted out by a bunch of dimwits! This was the first and only time I have ever watched the show. You would have been the only reason to continue watching. You definitely pulled your own weight! THEIR loss! Be proud!

Funny reports on the news

Love the pod, have been listening for years. Appreciate their work for voter’s rights and non-profits. I can’t believe Jane Fonda roasted John so hard. Hilarious episode, what a guest!

So smart. So funny.

Week after week Lovett and his team deliver high- risk comedy without a net. Crazy, creative guest list. Never miss it.

This capitulation to the right is sickening. If Kamala wants our votes she needs to change her policy. Not the other way around.

Funny

I love What a Weekday please keep it going!
fatman1329

Great! But post more please

I’ll give you a five-star review because this is an excellent podcast. But just know I’m upset there wasn’t a new show this week 😑

Bad joke

Making a joke about a woman dying at a Disney restaurant from gross negligence on behalf of a giant corporation, and the punch line is to belittle the woman and her husband? Where is the humanity.

Allison Reese for SNL!

This is hilarious. Was so sad I couldn’t make it to the Chicago live show in my hometown. Allison Reese as Harris is fantastic. Get this woman on SNL.
MakeMineMarvel86

Wow, sorry I’m late to the game!

First episode this morning recapping the DNC… woke my kids up laughing. Thank you for making the political mess digestible
Raincloud06

Keep Crooked Progressive!

Fun, uncensored, hilarious topical comedy. Lovett’s monologue is by far the best part of the show. Sad to see Crooked union busting though. #friendoftheunion

More dad vibes content 🤣

Thank you for the pod

Due to David’s decision to partner publicly with “Alt facts”, AND Crooked is now engaged in union-busting?!? Wow. I was die-hard w/swag, sharing, etc CROOKED LOST ITS WAY

YES, UNION!

Come on, guys. Accept better wages and conditions for your staff. Don’t let me down. Member, IATSE, Local One

This has long been my favorite podcast and I’ve seen them live maybe 10 times. I want the people who are responsible for bringing this incredible content to have a fair contract with equitable, transparent pay; consistent benefits; deeper inclusivity and more! #KeepCrookedProgressive
kay.r.bean

Love y’all & pls give your team a fair contract 😘

I listen to this show p much every week; it makes me laugh & occasionally learn a new thing. But I’m a #FriendOfTheUnion so I’d love it even more if Jon, Jon, Tommy & Co would #KeepCrookedProgressive by offering a fair contract to the ultra-talented team members who make this great content happen!
openwindows

Union proud!

Solidarity with Crooked Union fighting for a fair contract. I enjoy this show, i can’t listen the same way knowing Crooked management is union busting.

#friendoftheunion

I have listened to this show over the years. I’ve attended live shows. I recommend it to others. (I had to explain poppers to my mom and that was awkward). But I will unsubscribe if crooked doesn’t return to negotiations and recognize their employees union.

#friendoftheunion

Truly love this show. It’s so funny and wacky and informative. You can tell how hard the staff works to make the show special twice a week every week.
Ryano Martinicus

Love It, don’t leave it (unplayed)…

The show continues to expand on the issues and humor that’s on the fringe of even Crooked Media. Jokes always abide the guests (and the guests keep coming as much as the jokes keep rolling). #KeepCrookedProgressive #FriendOfTheUnion

Love the show, hoping the crooked team will support their worker’s rights. #FRIENDOFTHEUNION
