  • Smigel is a comedic genius!

    Just started listening and I binged every episode back-to-back like an addict. What a brilliant setup to create a writer’s room setting with nonstop riffs, bits, jokes, and inanity.

    This show is like an everlasting itch, and I cannot get enough.

    If you’re not listening, it’s ok, comedy is legal again.

  • Lackluster comedy

    First episode, first guest, and the first joke is about being coastal elites and losing right-wing listeners? That’s the level of comedy I would expect from a high school edgelord at this point, not the cast of SNL. YIKES.

Ellie Kemper and Michael Koman
Q: Megann, how long have you been married and what brought you to couples therapy in the first place?
