Taylor Swift's Knicks Game Spectacle, Jen Aniston's Dwindling Romance, & Al Roker's Venom for Billy Bush

About this episode

Maureen Callahan and Billy Bush discuss celebrity culture, including Taylor Swift's appearance at a Knicks game and Jen Aniston's relationship status.

Maureen Callahan is joined by "Hot Mics" host Billy Bush for a full cultural offender breakdown. They begin with Taylor Swift showing up in the front row at the Knicks game with a posse of sycophants, and Gwyneth Paltrow getting backlash for a new Ad campaign. They also discuss why Jen Aniston could be pumping the brakes on her butterfly-enthusiast BF Jim Curtis and what her friends might be saying about him behind the scenes. Billy then launches into a no-holds-barred disclosure on the true character of one "friendly" weatherman and offers his hot takes on Diddy's depravities. Maureen then turns to Troublemaker feedback that includes a petition against Blake Lively, more praise for the Michael Hutchence letter, additional thoughts on Jason Sudeikis, and more.
