Hour 2: The Oscars ratings.
This year’s Oscars were notably less political than in recent years, and the ratings reflect a renewed audience interest, pulling in 15 million viewers. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel’s contract is reportedly up in six months, raising questions about his future on late-night TV duties. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle expressed outrage over the number of people found to have had Jeffrey Epstein’s phone number. On Capitol Hill, Democrats in Congress are polling at their lowest approval ratings on record. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews streaming host Bill O' Reilly. Bill is in Washington, D.C., for today’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. O’Reilly notes that without access to the same intelligence reports as President Trump, assessing the timeline of the Iran conflict remains difficult. He also weighs in on the geopolitical implications of a potential Cuba takeover, suggesting it could cost Trump a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize. He also hints at a possible high-profile interview related to Iran that could be in the works. Finally, he predicts that if the Cuban regime falls, there is a strong likelihood that many Cuban exiles, particularly those settled in Florida, will return to the island.

FULL SHOW: More info on the Ayatollah's son; Oscars recap.
According to multiple sources, the war in Iran is expected to last at least another three weeks. Allegations have surfaced that the ayatollah’s son may be gay - a significant detail given that being LGBTQ+ in Iran is criminally prohibited - and some suggest this could shed further light on the personalities and motivations of both the ayatollah and his son. On a lighter note, Conan O’Brien received widespread praise for his performance hosting last night’s Oscars, marking his second consecutive year leading the ceremony. Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael discusses media credibility in today’s landscape, specifically, what audiences can and cannot trust from major news outlets. The guys also touch on recent antisemitic attacks, including synagogue shootings in Minnesota and Georgia, and how those events are testing the standards and skills of modern journalism. Jewish leaders would like to meet with Mayor Mamdani to discuss their concerns, but the Mayor looked like he shrugged it off. When Stephen Colbert wraps up his final show, sources indicate there will be no formal send-off. Additionally, Access Hollywood has officially been cancelled by NBCUniversal. Mark also breaks down a newly identified category of emails found within the Epstein files. Could Iran be under a different regime within a matter of months? Mark weighs in. Mark interviews author Mark Malkoff. Both Marks make the case that Johnny Carson was the greatest Oscars host of all time. The conversation explores Carson’s personal struggles, including his well-documented battle with alcohol, and how he managed to maintain his professionalism and signature charm throughout his tenure on The Tonight Show. Malkoff also addresses whether Carson ever had a notable falling-out with anyone during his storied career.
