SmartLess

SmartLess drops to #7 as its celeb-interview formula shows wear, averaging 1.1 million listeners per episode—down 15% from 2025 highs. While host Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett still generate viral moments, the show lags behind #5 Up First in weekly engagement by 22%. The banter feels less fresh next to harder news rivals, and its 60-minute episodes are 45% longer than the typical top-10 show's, risking listener fatigue. Nonetheless, star power secures it a loyal niche.
