Lovett or Leave It

Before you snuggle up in front of a roaring fire with your loved ones and watch Conclave as is the new tradition, enjoy this end-of-year gift from the Lovett or Leave It team. That’s right, Kendra, Halle, Lazarus, Chris, Kennedy, and Lovett all hand-wrapped this best-of episode, full of Hollywood tales, existential ennui, gay musings, and the right amount of oversharing, just for you. So go ahead, pour yourself a mug of hot cocoa, Google “Stanley Tucci IMDB,” and take a listen to Jane Fonda, Kathleen Turner, Matt Rogers, Rachel Bloom, Busy Philipps, Ts Madison, Thomas Lennon, and Rob Reiner.

Lovett or Leave It has officially loved and left another perfect year in America. This week, Margaret Cho and Fortune Feimster look back on the moments that red, white and blew our minds in 2024. Luenell brings enough hot, fresh takes to feed us all ’til 2025. Lovett and his guests shake their fists at the holidays, and nine gay little reindeer pull us along for one last Joyride before New Year’s.

Trump launches a fragrance and lays out a 100 day agenda (and they both stink!). The internet loses what's left of its mind over a murder. Bashar al-Assad takes a holiday in Moscow, and we hold space for the space being held by the stars of Wicked.   For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here [https://youtu.be/VbeR0JTnDuo].

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.  Tour dates & cities: crooked.com/events [https://crooked.com/events/]   For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here [https://youtu.be/MUgJROqFLjc].
