  1. You know when you have a song stuck in your head and the only way you can get it out is to play it? Well, Jonathan has a similar feeling: he can’t shake the idea that he needs to sing a song. Like, literally, any song, preferably one with pleasing harmony. And he’s reaching out to the Grammy Award-winning artist Meghan Trainor for guidance. Meghan joins Jonathan to discuss singing and songwriting fundamentals, her musical influences, and her new holiday album A Very Trainor Christmas.


  2. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart feels extremely blessed about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

    Kevin sits down with Conan to talk about the importance of taking care of the body, molding an environment for future success stories, and walking in fear at the highest levels of success. Later, Conan doubles down on one of his most hilarious jokes.


  3. We’re gutted to tell you that Matt’s beloved dog Faye passed this week. Matt reflects on Faye’s perfect contributions to the show over the years and shares how much he appreciates everyone’s condolences. To help alleviate the grief, the brilliant Rumaan Alan is here (in a previously recorded session) to discuss remote learning with his kids, navigating working from home, Boston Adventure by Jean Stafford, Lot by Bryan Washington, Her Body and Other Parties: Stories [amazon.com] by Carmen Maria Machado [amazon.com], the Freedom app and other ways to stay off your phone, imposters running rampant, ballet Instagram, Rumaan’s novel Leave The World Behind and the Netflix adaptation in the works, meeting his husband on a blind date, their adoption process and the community that surrounded them, how he’s navigating the news right now, and what will childhood look like for kids who have never known the closet.


  4. Guest co-host Matt Rogers joins Erin this week to talk what’s in store for the Trumps, getting paid to play with dogs, and the upcoming elections that everyone needs to be paying attention to. Then, they into some ‘tudes about the surprising number of LGBTQ+ voters who went for Trump, Representative-elect Cori Bush being called Breonna Taylor by her GOP colleagues, and an unseemly new statue ‘honoring’ feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft.


  5. This week on Getting Curious, we’re getting the down low on what’s up in the sky with Professor Kristen Rasmussen, an Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University and an expert on clouds. She and Jonathan break down cloud types, extreme weather, and the lasting impact that the 1996 movie Twister had on both of their lives—and one of their careers.


  6. Actor, comedian, and playwright John Leguizamo feels great about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

     

    John and Conan sit down to talk about attempting to master every performative craft, how sharing a room with a sibling makes one a better communicator, and digging into untold history with John’s one-man show Latin History for Morons and his new film Critical Thinking. Later, Conan ponders his frightening visage as he and his team Review the Reviewers.

  9. Bryan and Erin breathe a huge sigh of relief as we eek past the electoral finish line on this week’s ATTITUDES! In light of Georgia turning blue, Erin takes another look at what happened during Stacey Abrams’ campaign for governor and how she’s been making up the difference since. Then, Bryan talks about Biden’s inclusion of transgender people in his victory speech and the great stuff in store from his administration in regards to supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
