Episode: The Back Story of Michael's CNN Festivus Commentary, Larry David v. Bill Maher
Description: Saturday Morning was quite a morning amidst the funeral of Pope Francis. Michael offers a play-by-play of how his show still went on-air on CNN, where he offered a commentary completely unrelated to what was happening in the news that morning, on "Festivus" and the spat between Bill Maher and Larry David, the former having recently met with President Trump, and the latter comparing it to sharing a meal with a modern day Hitler. Here, Michael gives you the full back story on what happened. Original air date 28 April 2025.
