Cheryl Hines’ New Low, Jack Schlossberg's Clown Campaign, and 'The Morning Show’ Hate-Watch
Maureen Callahan goes all in on Cheryl Hines’ new memoir and its obvious omission of several details regarding RFK Jr.’s affair.

She points to his disturbing behavior, showing how unstable he is and notes that his own mother, Caroline Kennedy, also thinks his bid for office is a terrible idea. Duh! Maureen also delivers the latest update on the party appearance heard around the globe and the deeper reason for Meghan and Harry’s photos getting scrubbed from the Kardashians’ social media pages.

Gayle King's Departure Denial, SJP's Pipe Dream, and Kristen Bell's Troubling Marriage
Maureen Callahan called it - Gayle King's days at CBS are numbered. The astronaut seemed to be the only person who was unaware of CBS's decision and claims that the network is happy with her work. On this episode of The Nerve at Night, Maureen takes shots at Gayle's denial, her sycophantic relationship with Oprah and her childish Instagram posts. Maureen also puts SJP on blast for her nonsensical interview responses at The New Yorker Festival and rips into Amy Griffin for flaunting her social life online.
