The Ads Amare Killing Me
Love the pod, but why are they promoting a documented child abuser’s film? Brad Pitt is a bad man and his children have said so much.

The Nov. 7th pod gave me goosebumps! Chef’s kiss, ten out of ten!

Oh man
I feel so bad giving this 3/5 because I enjoyed this show for nearly ten years and saw it live twice. But I’m about to unsubscribe and thought I should give my feedback as to why. The show has become so self-referential. It feels like so many jokes are old jokes about Lovetts self-esteem or LA inside baseball. And the regrets segment is so cringey and not relatable or funny. It seems like going to twice a week has been rough for the shows creativity. Thanks for many many good years but I can no longer!

Helium House Lady Has to Go
The lady they had on that is going to fly a house is so irresponsible I couldn’t stand it. We’re in a helium shortage. I couldn’t stand her and needed her to not be taken so seriously. Worst then Lovett’s one episode on Survivor. Please get decent guests.

Listen every week
Love the monologue. Kinda wish the guests/interviews were also political. Would be a good venue for politicians and pundits to let their hair down and show a silly side

Iconic
Jon is an icon, full stop. His knowledge and delivery is incredibly impressive, his comedic talent is unmatched for what is technically a political platform. He has inspirational guests that are important to counter culture and main stream equally. Also an oasis for Lgbtqia+ community and allies that care about the state of this country. Important.

Platforming Rich and Privileged Housewives
I used to love this show, but I cannot stand how they give space to rich out of touch people like that housewife couple. Lovett never pushes back on the bad takes these guests have, he’s just in awe of celebrities. Unsubscribed.

Enough with the fat jokes
Stop with the fat jokes. They aren’t funny and they alienate your listeners. And having a skinny person add to the fat shaming doesn’t make it funny either. You’re better than this.

Won’t Ever Leave It
We all need this! If we don’t laugh and stick together, we will drift into despair.
Love it. So quirky. So silly. Great guests.
And, it encourages us to get involved. Get your friends and family registered to vote. Find new voters! Find joy in helping.
Thanks to Crooked for all you do!
BTW, put those data centers in the middle of nowhere! On unusable land. Away from people and animals - how about the desert!

Third Thoughts
This is my favorite podcast and I apologize for the parasocial vibes. I just have an observation. I was SO psyched for Josh Johnson on here because I love him so much but that was awkward bad. Maybe he was too star struck and that’s not a judgement. Lovett has a weird but undeniable chemistry with Paula Poundstone. Best episode in a long while. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I guess my point is, you can’t manufacture an authentic vibe and we prob need more PP.

★★★★★ — I have no notes, only feelings
I came for a podcast and left with a personality. Lovett or Leave It is what happens when a guy who used to write speeches for a president decides that’s not enough chaos for one lifetime and gets a live audience instead.
The panel is funny, the games are stupid in the best possible way, and the whole thing moves fast enough that you’ll miss your exit and not even be mad about it.
Weekly, free, and consistently the highlight of whatever mundane task I’m doing while listening. Highly recommend. Ten out of ten Statues of Liberty, pie-covered or otherwise.

Great show
Entertaining.

All women guests always? Yes pls
Liza and Lauren in one episode? An embarrassment of riches. Brilliant and hilarious queens. Thank you and please consider this the gold standard.

definitely showed Donald a video made by a robot featuring a soda bottle of vaccines and he genuinely thinks its real

What’s this edgy streak?
20 minutes laughing at someone’s death, (yea I hated him too but grow up) now making literal jokes about the president ejaculating in a victim on Epsteins island? Enough with the edgy jokes, you’re so much funnier than this. You sounds like Tony hingecliff or whatever his name is.

Lovett!
John Stamos on Jon Lovett is a match made in heaven! The unexpected summer delight we all need. Then Jodie Turner-Smith showed up! Top tier Lovett with humor, intelligence, and esthetic authenticity - and facts! Facts! June 2026 not so bad after all. Thanks so much!

Love
Like John Stamos, I am fascinated with John Lovett and all he does.

Please, no more “second thoughts”
I’ve loved this podcast for years, I look forward to it on Saturday morning and am thrilled that it’s back to twice a week. But please, get rid of the second thoughts section and bring back the rant wheel or create something new. Reflections is self aggrandizing, clearly weird for the guests, and not interesting. Please reconsider making this a regular segment.
ALHackney
Love it
So glad you moved to 2x week. Love the show. Don’t understand the real housewives or Bravo stuff, maybe you’re getting paid for it, I just fast forward. Miss the rant wheel.

Unfollowing
I’ve been listening since the beginning. I volunteered for several campaigns thanks to the vote save America organization. I even was a paid subscriber for a long time. The CA 2026 governor primary campaign was the dealbreaker for me. They are not taking a decisive stance. Even if they have a preference for a candidate, they haven’t been able to articulate their reasons and making them match their “progressive” claims. It’s sad that they will claim that Billionaires take advantage of our system, but they are ok with one of them running our state. Specially, since there is a well qualified and proofed candidate.

Twice a week!!
Play the live theme song sometimes. “Straight shooter…An American Hero!”🎶 Love this show so much. Smart and funny.

Comedy, Still, Somehow
I rely on Lovett and crew every week to rake some muck and spin the rant wheel and risk some joke. Snarky and loving and, yep, patriotic.
Bring back Saturday!!!!
Please bring back some Washington/Clown nose merch. Thank you!

I keep hearing about it…
I was disappointed. It’s not really funny.

Great show, terrible audio
Love the show but the audio is horrible in the new studio

“My work here is done.” Said Hillary knocking sand off her kitten heels.
86-47 has come back up and it reminded me of an episode I laughed extra hard at… so many laughs, all so very dark and wrong, but why I love this show

BEST SHOW EVER
Lovett, you’re so funny and I love your political and Jewish jokes. as a Jewish liberal myself you make me laugh all the time and your news is so accurate!

I left it.
Used to like this show, but I’m tired of the deranged guests and it’s just not as funny as it used to be.

My favorite pod
I love Lovett or Leave It and think Lovett is one of the funniest people ever.
Trixy Kicks
Please
Been a day 1 listener and still love the show but the Second Thoughts segment is painful, self-indulgent and just isn’t working. Please go back to the drawing board.

Just saying
Minimizing stalking isn’t cute
plodding and podding
Fart jokes are cool, but fascism is upon us.
Jon Lovett had an incredible megaphone here…. But he mostly uses it to audition for late night with milk-toast political comedy instead of taking on the emerging police state in any meaningful way.
I hope for his sake he earns the role as “controlled opposition” that he is auditioning for. But this moment calls for a person who can stand on both feet and speak truth to power.

Pioneer seed corn? I didn’t think you guys could top Smithfield as a sponsor…
Please Oh please do a much better job of not seeming like urban disconnected entitled lefty elites. We love your show, we look to you for insight to our political world. Take just a moment and be selective of the corporations that you’re choosing to take money from and share their twisted message on your platform.

Lovett!!!
I start every Saturday with Lovett or Leave It!! It’s hilarious and informative!! I’m a huge fan of the entire Crooked Media Universe!💙💪🏾🇺🇸Quick comment on the 2/14/26 episode re: whether to say ‘I love you’ first. Here is where I’ve landed…if you’re in love, say it as soon as you feel it (but don’t be a psycho). If you’re feeling of love is in anyway connected to whether or not the other person responds in kind, you might not actually be in love yet…you might just be in limerence. Good luck out there everyone!!

Lovett, please stop
Please spare us from ‘real’ housewives. What a horrible woman. Can you please get better guests? It couldn’t be that difficult.

Bravo series
This has been an interesting series and enjoyable but still disheartening. Still exemplifies in this day how cameras and public eye being everywhere has created a whole group of pseudo-sociopaths who think fame and celebrity legitimizes everything. Democracy being solely led by the mantra ‘be anything but boring’ is ultimately just as destructive as $$$ in politics. Its destroyed truth, authenticity, truth, and integrity allowing the shameless nature Trump and cronies revel in. As the Republican Party is finding out, using that reality show ethos is a melting marshmallow.
