In the Nerve's final show before Christmas, Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity reporter Rob Shuter to discuss the biggest celeb gossip of 2025, including J.Lo and Ben Affleck's ping pong relationship, Meghan Markle making no plans to see her father over the holidays, Harry’s attempts to make money through speaking engagements, the explosive Diddy trial and his behavior behind bars, and the grim details unfolding in the double murder of Rob and Michele Reiner. Maureen also takes a swipe at Michelle Obama's recent comments about "letting go" and Timothée Chalamet showing how uninformed he really is during one of his international media stops. Later in the show, Maureen is joined by Nancy Grace, host of Fox One’s “Crime Stories,” to break down latest updates on the biggest crime stories of 2025, including Bryan Kohberger trying to make friends with serial killers behind bars and Diddy planning his post-release comeback. She also dives into Brittany Spears' troubling behavior, reckless driving, and disturbing social media posts. Then Maureen pivots to reflect for a moment on The Nerve's past year..

Maureen Callahan is joined by Jillian Michaels, host of “Keeping It Real,” to rip apart a New York Times article pushing GLP-1 drugs for pets, exposing big pharma’s total lack of boundaries and calling out celebrities like Ariana Grande, Jessica Simpson, and Meghan Trainor for using the drugs despite never being obese. They also slam Oprah for her body positivity messaging while also promoting the use of GLP1s. Maureen also addresses the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, and reflects on his legendary filmmaking career while skewering the attention seekers who insert themselves into the news coverage in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy. Then Maureen stages an intervention for Producer Marlaina in an effort to break her Bill Maher fixation, pointing to his long record of misogyny while Marlaina counters her argument with evidence that support her unwavering admiration.
