MS NOW is expanding its partnership with Crooked Media, bringing political comedy show Lovett or Leave It to its Saturday lineup beginning September 12.
The limited series will air in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections, on Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET following Crooked on MS NOW. That weekly compilation show, featuring segments from Crooked Media’s audio portfolio including Pod Save America, Pod Save the World and Runaway Country, launched in February.
Lovett or Leave It, hosted by former Obama speechwriter and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett, is a mix of political commentary, jokes and in-depth conversations. Launched in 2017, it tapes twice-weekly in front of a live audience in Hollywood and has toured across the country with sold-out shows in San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Radio City Music Hall.
The show has generated over 200 million listens and views on YouTube and podcast platforms. Recent guests include Jane Fonda, Josh Johnson, Lisa Rinna, Kara Swisher, Minnie Driver, Al Franken, Nick Offerman, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho, John Leguizamo, Emmy Rossum and John Stamos.
Crooked on MS NOW has expanded the network’s reach. MS Now said half of the program’s viewers are new to MS NOW on Saturday nights and nearly two-thirds of viewers under age 55 are also new to the network.
