The scandal occurred near Taberski's hometown, and he's able to bring a local charm to his color commentary and interviews, keeping what could be a dour show relatively light.
2. THE LONELY ISLAND & SETH MEYERS PODCAST
Celebrities' recaps of their own shows tend to be self-indulgent and not especially analytical. This is an exception. Seth Meyers teases insightful and hilarious stories out of his former Saturday Night Live co-workers Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer, about the process of writing joke songs about, say, the kind of presents not normally wrapped in boxes. The podcast lands at an existential moment for SNL on the eve of its 50th anniversary. Some 20 years ago, the Lonely Island dragged SNL into the YouTube era. Perhaps there are lessons to be gleaned from this throwback show about the future of comedy.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Wesley Morris tackles the career of iconic musician Stevie Wonder with a little help from guests Barack and Michelle Obama.

Morris is able to succinctly divine meaning from Wonder's art in this joyful celebration of an icon.

WHEN DONALD TRUMP TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE AS President in January 2017, his first foreign policy priority was to get tough on China. The Trump 2.0 Administration will continue that work. But when he strides back into the Oval Office in January 2025, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.
