Lovett learns a lesson or two when his guests take the reins in this week’s very special Best-Of episode. Do steamrollers have reins? Well, they do now! Abby McEnany commandeers the anchor’s seat while presenting Gay News. Jake McDorman picks up Lovett and charges into virgin territory. Paula Poundstone’s Lesley Stahl puts Lovett in the hot seat. Luenell riles up the Swifties, and Ms. Pat challenges our audience to answer two truths and a lie, all while Lovett holds on for dear life.All of these segments were recorded before the WGA and SAG strikes were a twinkle in David Zaslav’s craven eye.
