“It’s My Podcast And I’ll Burn Money If I want To” Following his “ I’m Back For More Cash” when he wasn’t spending money on Nigel nor son. I doubt Cillaza gets paid. Look Cillaza YouTube numbers and at least he has 87 on average of friends and family.

I understand the constant deluge of negative comments regarding Cilizza, he absolutely can eat it. What I have more trouble with is the listeners who find it necessary to berate Nigel, personally I think he adds quite a lot to the show. He might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one. As far as being “literally illiterate”, that seems highly unlikely, considering that his job description includes looking things up on the web, and reading ads such as Bethesda Bagels. As a side note, using the term literally illiterate, is literally redundant, as illiterate by definition means unable to read or write, and literally means actually, so who is the illiterate one? Hint, it’s not Nigel

Love the show, can we get Wilbon a professional microphone. Not sure what he’s talking into but it always sounds like he’s sitting on it

Jerzyxplorer Hey. Great I know you don’t do tennis that much. Mary Carillo killed it. She highlights the funny and doesnt take herself too seriously. Good point about switching from clay to grass which makes the casual fan understand the impact of scheduling. Keep it up. Dr Grandpa

Michael is on vacation. I’d ask - a vacation from what? I think one must work - not bloviate about things Cillizza finds amusing. Stay away please!

Tony and company talk about it all. Always a great listen when in the car driving or needing something to listen to pass the time. Never a dull pod with all the great guests and topics. Never stop Tony K!

Constant parade of liberal guests from the DC swamp

Favorite pod ever

Tufts beat Dickinson College from Carlisle PA, not Dennison

I love this podcast. If you like sports, you NEED to listen to the Tony Kornheiser Show. I often heard my dad listening to the pod, and I gave it a shot. I fell in love with it. It is notable that you should listen to (or watch) PTI every day at 5:30 on ESPN. There is almost always 2 guests on the show and it always closes with the mailbag, my favorite segment. If you listen for a long time, you will pick up on some inside jokes. My literal only complaint is that Chris Ciliza takes away from the show when he is on.

If you need to know why this show is a national treasure, listen to “12 Million” from April or May 2023.

Tony…listening to you say, “I thought to myself” is hilarious. My advice: lose the “self.” Think works.

Long time listener. It’s an easy podcast to listen to and I like Tony’s guests, aside from Carville and Ma doing their weekly pick in the NFL season…nobody cares. I do miss the pre-pandemic setup though. People like Gary, Liz, Anne, etc. were regularly on the show and now they’re once in a blue moon. And for someone who always complains about phone connections and audio, Wilbon’s audio for years has sounded awful—scratchy and distorted. Get a new phone!

I love the podcast. Every episode is great listening. I’ve watched PTI for 15 years but I have one gripe. When the 4th guy is on, Chris maybe? it’s too much. He talks over everyone, dude’s gotta go.

I always read through the transcript first that Apple provides to see if the episode is worth listening to. You quickly find out if the interviews will be informative or whether Tony is once again telling stories or reading emails that appeal only to his cultish fans, akin to a secret club that kids form. Too often these days it’s in-house chat that usually ends up with Tony patting himself on the back despite a veneer of seemingly self-deprecation. Frankly, the only conversations now worth the time are those about his dog.

I immediately put The Tony Kornheiser Show in my podcast cue, when I learned of it. I then waited months before actually listening. Kicking myself!!! I laughed out loud more than once. We get droplets on PTI but it RAINS Kornheiser humor on the podcast.

I’ve listened to Tony for years. I love the interviews, not your typical sports show.

Guys, it’s time to part ways with PK Suban. He is simply a bad person and it is cringe-inducing to try to make it though the show, knowing who he is and what he believes about minorities, gays and basically freedom.

Listener since the ESPN980 days and PTI watcher since it was a reasoned conversation (not shouting match) between two acclaimed sports journalists. As the podcast skewed into politics just before and at the “undisclosed location,” I stuck with the show because I trusted Tony and team as reasonable people with views different to my own. It was a good bias test that many of us were unwilling to entertain in a polarizing society. I was proud to be on the the people that the show’s vaunted “connective tissue” tied together, despite our different views. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to tidbits about life in the DMV, as related to many of the customer service related stories that Tony and his son would share. Unfortunately, Tony’s guests have returned to passive-aggressive, racial grievance insinuations - and the show is no longer for me. I’m tired of people with different physical characteristics aiming to add rancor and perpetuate division. Mr. Wilbon’s comments during the Feb 10, 2025 show, insinuating that Texans dissatisfied with an NBA trade as well as others that didn’t enjoy Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show were racists was my last straw. I appreciate that Mr. Kornheiser and Mr. Wilbon have a long personal and professional friendship, and applaud them for it in an age of ephemera. Unfortunately, the show just isn’t for me anymore. I will miss them. A sad la cheeserie to the rest of you looking for the exits.

Stinks.

I get Tony’s comfort in doing the show the same BUT every show is just the exact same and has gotten dull. Episode 1 or Episode 3,900 sounds exactly the same. Same segments. Same guests and the monkey bit has gotten old really fast

Been listening to Tony for decades and really love the show. If I had one request it would be to have the guests volume be at the same level as Tony’s. Usually the guests are much lower which means I either I have trouble hearing them clearly or I turn it up and Tony sounds like he’s screaming

How could this show get less than 5 stars? Why all the nasty comments? Life is not that serious mane it’s so sweet to live with peace than to speak that evil. Listener for 9 years from the south age 36

Best review of the College Football games.

Left turn, jog right, right turn, left turn, left turn, left turn, right turn. I’ve also got the Vikes by two.

Tony is incredibly bright and offers expert opinions on matters of sports. But that’s just the beginning! His comments about life, traffic, food, etc. are incredibly funny. His guests impart insights to help me enjoy spots at a deeper level. The show pulls in musicians and bands playing original tunes, show’s Tony’s deep appreciation of music. The best part of the show is the mail bag. The emails are thoughtful, well written and FUNNY! Keep up the great work.

Translates into Zoo in English. Great international podcast!

This show stinks…and I love it. Thanks TK

Chris Cillizza takes away 2.5 stars, Chuck Todd takes away .5 stars from what’d otherwise be a 5/5 for me. I wish Chris Cillizza was a healthcare insurance CEO.

If you can't possibly get enough info on Georgetown Bball or utility bill issues in the DMV, this show is most definitely for you!!! This show STINKS!!! (Love you all) *UPDATE* - Chuck and Roxie #318

Is the unadulterated pretentiousness of these guys for real? Does Michael converse in a pedagogical, constructivist modus operandi with his family over breakfast? Is it just a bit? Does east coast elitism actually exist? Are these gentlemen really better than me? Are these guys really even smart? These are just some of the questions you will be asking yourself once you become a regular listener of this podcast. I dig it though. But please…way to much of that goblin, James Carville.

Sports podcasting does not get better than this. The TK pod is king!

Tony loves Trump. Michael is the worst. Nigel is an insufferable yes man.

Long time listener. Stopped listening during the first Trump administration. Tony can’t help himself. He simply loves Trump. For four years, he normalized the obscene, and outrageous. I came back to the show after Trump #1. Don’t know if I can do another four years of this. It’s a shame. I absolutely love this show, but Tony’s love for Trump is absolutely nauseating. Unfortunately, nobody on the show is able or willing to push back. Tony do us all a favor, and stay away from the Trump talk.

Loved the show for nearly 20 years and have now unsubscribed. Hope it was worth replacing the smart, interesting and funny cast with your smug, uninteresting and humorless son. Every now and then I come back here to read reviews, glad to see so many people hate what Tony has allowed his son to do to the show.

What is this? HSN for your trumpers?

They have the formula for rallying up a world community listening audience. Keep stanking it up!!!

Best podcast on the radio! Great host, best most insightful interviews and incredible music to come back from the breaks. Thank you Mr. Tony!

I have heard Tony say to leave a review on Apple near the end of every single episode yet I have never done it. Well today’s the day. I can’t say enough about this podcast. It’s the best. What’s the list of best podcast? This one, that’s the list. I especially like it when Greg Garcia is on. I mean, all the guest are great, but Greg is my favorite by a mile. So funny. So smart. And, not for nothing, pretty easy on the eyes. Anyway, if you’re looking for a good podcast, don’t listen to this one because it’s GREAT! Greg Garcia

Been listening to Tony for 20+ years. It’s wormed my way into my life. So entertaining, oddly sometimes. When he decides to hang it up I’ll have a small but very enjoyable and constant piece of my life missing. Le cheeserie to all! Thanks gang.

Enjoy the father & son stories about Tony & Michael’s life together. Reminds me of how much I miss my dad. Living vicariously through them makes my heart warm with love. Throughly enjoy the many guests and how Tony can ask a straight forward question. Honored to be a “Little.”

“Where did Maury go? The title should be, Where did Tony go?

Came for the sports talk, stayed for the boiled egg recipes

He’s a great guest! More!

I don’t like milk.

Come on Bezos, peel off a few million for the pod, load up Wondery with new “podcast synergies” and let guys enjoy their bagels in class and ease. Throw in access to all the streaming services so, I don’t know, the guy who discusses sports, can watch the sports he might want to talk about on the show!

My favorite shows are when he starts wandering off-topic, usually in the beginning about how many times it took him to get out of the sand at Columbia golf course, or walking his dog or other old man problems like calling customer service instead of handling it online. Thank you for letting me be part of your family. oh yes, I almost forgot. I discovered 15 years ago ahead a knack for sports betting. I never knew I had it. I use so Jeff Ma, and other guests to improve my wagering and pocketbook.

Tony’s incessant whining makes this stupid show work.

This show is great
