Here's something fabulous from the Midnight Snack archive! Michelle catches up with show-stopping drag queen and actor, the hilarious and electric SHANGELA! These two talk about how they’re skeletal opposites, various run-ins with the iconique Jennifer Hudson, Shangela's incredible tenure at TGI Friday’s, and most importantly... going on a date with PATTI LABELLE as your third wheel. Plus, Michelle and her sidekick Dan sound off about terrible hotels, AirBNB squabbles and an advice column that answers the question "Is it weird to ask my friends for their body parts?" Will Michelle really do anything for a part? Hmm.
Lots to catch up on this week, so fasten your seatbelts! Michelle regales Dan with a Netherlandian odyssey that begins and ends with the pursuit of the perfect gown and meeting a gaggle of Dutch celebs (she thinks). Listen as they dissect an article on the proper etiquette of booing in a theater. Then we are joined by the endlessly talented comedy and podcast icon, Bowen Yang. Michelle picks Bowen’s brain on laughing too loud in restaurants, the fast-paced world of SNL, and why 94% (exactly) of podcasters don’t actually deserve podcasts. You can see Bowen Yang’s acclaimed film Fire Island on Hulu as well as listen to his essential podcast Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers.
For the first time, Michelle and Dan record the pod actually AT Midnight and, shocker, she's tired! This jam-packed episode has something for everyone: Poisoned lentils, slow motion, Beyonce, and travel tips for two of the hottest travel destinations *squints* Antwerp and... Toronto. Then without further ado, the man, the legend JOHN LITHGOW graces us with his class and presence, where he finally admits to what behavior he hates in restaurants, a shocking subway confrontation involving a single BUTTON, and his exciting new drama The Old Man starring himself and Jeff Bridges streaming now on Hulu.
Energy levels are HIGH beginning to end, as Michelle and Dan try to help one anonymous woman face the world's worst enemy: The passive-aggressive fat-shaming friend. Listen as Mich drains a venti iced Americano and see if you can hear the black swan feathers popping out of her back because that sh*t makes her crazy. The fun only heightens as the brilliant Desus & Mero of late-night Showtime fame hop on to unpack gunt control, airport run-ins, New York's best toilets, vaginal poems (you're not ready) and, most shockingly, Desus' love of LOEHMANNS (!) among 1,000 other topics. Season 4 of Desus & Mero airs Thursday nights on Showtime.
Hallo from Holland! Nothing like a jet-lagged episode to ring in summer. Michelle travels to the land of friendly giants to feel human again and Dan snaps out of his resting bitch face to help a friend in need. Meanwhile, the hottest film of the summer has landed to celebrate Pride Month - Fire Island - and we're joined by the film's writer and star Joel Kim Booster, who is rightfully begging for your positive anonymous internet love. They chat gym stank, trainers, Subway stank, dull weddings, mother mayo and what it takes to make the streaming sensation of the summer. Watch Fire Island on Hulu now!
Do you ever just dance in the rain? What about walk for 2 miles while cars routinely splash you? Michelle channels her inner Drew B while also figuring out what exactly is #MomTok, Top Gun, The Staircase, and Dan models his DICK Tracy watch for the local co-op. Then it’s writer, comedian & kindred spirit LaKendra Tookes who breaks down jean crotch, turning BLEEP and wait should we do a live-stream from Ross D for L? We promise this ep covers bases you didn’t even know existed.
Does hypnotism work? This is a question that is barely addressed on this week’s episode as Michelle and Dan delve into this topic and the mystery of a lost and fairly embarrassing Amazon package. Then we are blessed to welcome comedian Jake Cornell who fills our emotional pint glasses with stories of Brighton, the great Disney debate, and our own personal obesity epidemic. Listen to Going Out with Jake Cornell on your podcast player now!
Get your sanitizing wipes out because Michelle is headed back to NYC to face off against The Big City, where she's called a bitch, possibly robbed, and on National TV in 36 hours. Meanwhile, Dan questions a certain "news" article from one husband to his beloved wife. Then we are blessed with the presence of Rose Matafeo, comedian, and brilliant creator/star of "Starstuck," season 2 of which is out now. Rose and Mich have too much in common, but mainly terrible British game shows, upside down dating stories and her turn on Taskmaster. One thing is for sure... they are both very BRAVE for leaving the house. Listen, Laugh, Love.
It's a WEEK of CHICNESS as Michelle cracks open the cursed board game known as MIAMI and finds a massive iguana causing Melrose Place style drama by the pool. And for the first time in history, Dan is also embroiled in some drama... at the GYM.But when iconic American fashion designer, author, creative director and performer Isaac Mizrahi joinsthe show, the drama is all out the windowasthey talk over creative projects during the pandemic,the love hate pull of a Jewishfamily, finding your tribe and everlasting fashion items and brands.He's an icon!!

In this week's very special Midnight Snack, Michelle regales us all with a blow by blow account of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC, at the HILTON no less (not to brag). It's the SiriusXM/Earwolf crossover event of the season! She chats about manis, pedis, Robert Gowney Jr., red carpet snubs & red carpet heroes, and brushes with Pete and an incredibly hungry Kim Kardashian. Joined by her SXM team Abby, Steve and her date for the night Tim, you'll almostfeel like the Gayle King or Queen of Nerd Prom. Enjoy every second.
