Lovett or Leave It is a weekly podcast hosted by speechwriter and screenwriter Jon Lovett. It is produced by Lee Eisenberg and distributed by Crooked Media. The theme song is by the band Sure Sure. Lovett has described the show as a way to talk about politics in plain language and has called the discussion "very loose".
Lovett or Leave It is a live panel show, hosted by Jon Lovett, and with guests from journalism, comedy and politics. Topics in the news from the previous week are discussed by the panel, with a focus on US politics and the administration of President Donald Trump.
The show sometimes opens with an interview with a guest, often a Democratic politician, who doesn't join the panel discussion. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, former Mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa and actor Rainn Wilson have all been interviewed.
Panel guests have included comedians Sarah Silverman, Brett Gelman, Ira Madison III and Paul Scheer, screenwriter Wil Wheaton and journalists Lauren Duca and Katie Nolan.
The show is usually held in Los Angeles, California but has been held in Washington, D.C. and Aspen, Colorado.
