  • Don Lemon 17.09.2026 1t 11min
    “I’m not afraid of Donald Trump’s punk ass at all... he's a coward.” Don Lemon pulls back the curtain on his explosive CNN exit—what happened behind the scenes, why he stopped watching the network while he was still working there, and how his husband still carries grudges for him. Lemon also opens up about being arrested at an anti-ICE protest, why he believes he was made an example of because he’s “Don Lemon” and his arrest would make news, and the emotional release that followed. Now, with his own business and The Don Lemon Show, he says he feels liberated—and more connected to his audience than ever. You can watch “The Don Lemon Show” LIVE every week day at 10AM and 5PM ET on YouTube, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, TikTok, and listen wherever you get your podcasts. See Don live with D.L.

  • Steve Levitan 10.09.2026 1t 19min
    Steve Levitan knows he may never make another "Modern Family" - and he’s okay with that. The writer, producer, director, and creator reflects on the once-in-a-lifetime magic of making 250 episodes of "Modern Family" over 11 years, why he considers himself lucky to have experienced it, and what motivates him now that the pressure to prove himself has faded. Steve also shares with Dan how he started off by writing an episode of "The Wonder Years" in 13 hours, then immediately lied to an agent about having a "Cheers" script, before years later getting so deep into Garry Shandling’s head working on "The Larry Sanders Show" that he caught himself asking his friend, “You hate me, don’t you?” Ah, show business… ain’t nothing like it.

    Andrew Whitworth knows a thing or two about surviving football. The former NFL tackle and Thursday Night Football analyst tells Dan how Nick Saban convinced him he was a tackle, why his pregame routine consisted of sitting in his underwear playing FreeCell, and why he still loves his former teammate and “Fitz & Whit” co-host Ryan Fitzpatrick after he sprinted away from a brawl.

  • The Best of SBS: Miami Dolphins Head Coach Jeff Hafley 06.08.2026 1t 7min
    "We're gonna do everything we can to make you happy." With the 2026-2027 NFL season upon us, Jeff Hafley, the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins, knows the expectations are high for him to lead a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in a quarter of a century. Coach Hafley traces his rise from being a kid fixated on football (he asked for a mini whiteboard for Christmas!) to his college coaching career beginning by sleeping under his desk in the stadium at the University of Pittsburgh and surviving on peanut butter to becoming an NFL head coach. Coach Hafley makes it clear to Dan Le Batard and the many broken Dolphins' fans like him: he was made for the job and is someone who promises to outwork everyone and has the history of missed weddings, strained relationships, and years of choosing the job over everything else to prove it. He also explains why he walked away from being head coach at Boston College to return to the NFL (“I didn’t like who I was becoming") and why he chose Miami over other teams.

  • Beth Stelling 11.06.2026 1t 8min
    “To start stand-up you have to be a little dumb, a little self-centered, and arrogant enough to think, ‘Everybody’s gotta hear what I have to say.’” Beth Stelling has turned anxiety, insecurity, and chaos into some of the sharpest comedy around. But before the Netflix specials and sold-out crowds, she was surviving on bagels, drink tickets, and pure stubbornness. Beth joins Dan to talk about growing up in Ohio, navigating a childhood shaped by instability, and why stand-up appealed to her need for control. She also opens up about sexism in comedy, the moments she nearly quit, and gives one of the most honest explanations of comedy you'll ever hear.

  • Brook & Robin Lopez 04.06.2026 1t 16min
    Brook and Robin Lopez are known as the powerhouse twins of the NBA... but they'd prefer to be thought of more as the real life Chip 'n' Dale (you know, if they were seven feet tall).As lovable and wild as they are competitive, Brook and Robin get into how they became inseparable - from an upbringing that included them being literally leashed together as kids, their brothers making them duke it out, and what it was like playing each other as they were coming up as teammates and NBA rivals. The brothers also reveal the origins of their lifelong passion for animation, what the perks of being NBA stars are for them (like attending a dream come true table read of "The Simpsons"), and how much of their lives off the court revolves around their shared love of Disney - including Brook meeting his now wife at Disney World's Animal Kingdom and buying homes at Magic Kingdom on both coasts.

  • Tony Hawk 21.05.2026 1t 9min
    A legend, point blank period. Tony Hawk brought skateboarding to the mainstream, defined the sport, and made it accessible to thousands of kids through his charity work. And, not to mention, he stars in one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). Tony takes Dan through his upbringing, from being a hyperactive kid who just needed to get his energy out, to becoming one of the best skateboarders alive when he was only a teenager. He also explains what it was like when skating fell out of vogue in the 90s and he fell on tough times… and then boomed back into popularity a few years later. Dan also gets a rundown of all Tony’s injuries over his entire career - including the worst one, a broken pelvis. They also talk about aging and finding joy in a body that doesn’t work quite the way it used to.

    For decades, Ari Shaffir has brought the best stories in comedy to light. Coming from a deeply religious upbringing, Ari’s wild and raunchy path in comedy seems about as far away from seminary as anyone can get. Ari speaks to Dan about his time in the industry and the liberation that comedy provided him after leaving his orthodox Jewish upbringing. Ari talks about what inspired him to bring the best voices in comedy together, to tell their real stories that they couldn’t tell anywhere else. He also details his process making his stand-up special “Jew,” traveling the world honing his material (and realizing that, even after years of religious study, he got some details about the Torah wrong). And, of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Ari Shaffir if he and Dan didn’t take a little dive into the world of psychedelics. Ari’s special, “Jew,” is available now on Netflix and watch his hilarious live storytelling show, “The End”, from YMH Studios.
