  • So fun and so fab 🌟💅

    Justin and his cohost pack a refreshing punch--like the crisp sip of a much needed Diet Coke in the afternoon. This show has laughs and topical great takes, but because of their longstanding backgrounds in Hollywood, they offer unsuspecting nuggets of insight into the media machine as well as gay and black culture, which I find particularly interesting as a yt, straight woman. If you like Jeff Lewis, this is just as funny without the messy drama.
