Summary

Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity makeup artist Tim MacKay for their final takedown of "The Morning Show" where Maureen doubles down on the bad writing, dangling plots, and Jennifer Aniston’s efforts to make her character believable. She also takes shots at Aniston's new beau Jim Curtis, exposing his creepy self-help videos and dollar store wisdom Maureen then moves on to SJP's lame attempt to prove she actually does read books during her commute to nowhere on a NYC subway. Later in the show, Maureen welcomes psychotherapist and author of the NYT bestseller "Are You Mad At Me?" Meg Josephson to discuss how best to navigate difficult family dynamics during the holidays.
