'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast

Latest Episodes:

British Bah Humbug! with Jameela Jamil | 2 Nov 17, 2025

Show notes

The Grinch has a bone to pick with Christmas trees. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like chopping down a living thing and evicting a few perfectly tasty forest critters. Then, fellow holiday-hater, Jameela Jamil drops by and shares her own tradition, celebrating Hanksgiving, a day devoted entirely to the films of Tom Hanks. Could this be love? Maybe. Could it be indigestion? Also maybe. Meanwhile, Grinch-A-Palooza planning is running wild with a budget that’s burning faster than fruitcake.

Let It Bro! with The Jonas Brothers | 1 Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

The Grinch is back for Season 3, louder, greener, and more self-absorbed than ever. Then, the Jonas Brothers crash the cave with a little holiday harmony and a lot of sibling chaos. RUDE! But, Grinch makes the best of it and finds out what we all want to know: which one’s the real bad boy? Later, Grinch unveils his biggest scheme yet, and let’s just say a certain holiday has some serious new competition.

Introducing: 'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast Season 3 Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

Grinch is back and jollier than NEVER! Whoville’s sassiest late-night talk show host returns for season 3 with more sharp-tongued monologues about everything nipping at his nose this holiday season, his signature brand of merry mischief, and a fete of festive banter, determined to charm a sleigh-full of A-list guests into admitting that Christmas might just be ho-ho-horribly overrated.

This season, Grinch unveils his boldest scam yet: "Grinch-a-palooza," an over-the-top extravaganza timed to outshine Whoville’s beloved tree lighting ceremony. But when his trusted producer Cindy Lou-Who sides with the town’s holiday tradition instead of helping him plan the perfect palooza, the ultimate festive face-off begins. Grinch vs. Cindy—whose Christmas Eve bash will reign supreme? The battle for holiday supremacy is officially ON.

Holiday Hot Takes! with Hollywood Hottie John Stamos | 10 Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

Christmas is almost here (ugh)… which means it’s almost OVER! (Yay!) The weather outside is frightful, but you’ll warm right up with a fresh batch of the Grinch’s scalding-hot Holiday hot takes [2:22]! Then, the only A-Lister with better hair than the Grinch, the legendary John Stamos makes it a full house atop Mt. Crumpit [6:40]. And finally, just in time for Christmas Eve, it’s the thrilling conclusion of the missing letters mystery [21:20]. The culprit has been nabbed, but if the mail never made it to Santa, how will he deliver Whoville’s presents? It’s up to the Grinch to save Christmas! Talk about a redemption arc!

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Big Guy | 9 Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

Case closed, job well done! Wait… there’s still a problem. Cindy receives a call from none other than Santa Claus himself. He’s glad the culprit was nabbed, but he still never received those letters! And now there’s no time to re-mail them — he’s already sleighing around the world! Cindy has an idea of how Grinch can still deliver the messages on time… if he’s willing to get in the holiday spirit.

Secret Santa Stinks! with Fortune Feimster | 9 Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Grinch is over Secret Santa gift exchanges [2:54] — the only gift he wants is NO CHRISTMAS! Then, some very good luck: Fortune Feimster is here [6:40]! There’s a lot of talk of wienerschnitzel, but she didn’t bring a single hot dog for Max. Rude! She leaves just before the Whoville police show up, ready to arrest Grinch for a crime he didn’t commit [16:17]. Ugh, why are the holidays always so stressful?!

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Confession | 8 Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

Cindy’s up at the North Pole with no idea that Grinch and Max are getting run out of town by wild gingerbread soldiers. That is, until she sees them flee! She grabs ahold of Max in time to discover that he made a secret recording… that just might prove to the world that Postmaster Glee is the true villain of this year’s Christmas caper!

Playin’ Smooth, Smooth Jazz! with Nick Kroll | 8 Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

Grinch is disturbed to learn that not all of his listeners spend the season in freezing cold weather [2:52], but hey, not everyone is blessed enough to live on a snowflake. (That’s where Whoville is located, try to keep up with the lore!) Then, Nick Kroll from the new Christmas blockbuster, Red One [7:52] drops by for a heart to heart about the holidays. Once he’s gone, the missing letters mystery sends Grinch, Max and Cindy Lou to the most horrible place of all: The North Pole [18:06]!

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Prisoner | 7 Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

With the cuckoo clock riddle partially-solved, Cindy and Max sneak out for a trip to the Whoville Penitentiary. Yes, Whoville has a prison! Can T-Bone, a criminal elf cast out of Santa’s workshop, give Cindy and Max any more clues… or is this a dead end in the investigation?

Dunkin’ On Christmas Cards! with DeAndre Jordan | 7 Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

He did it last year and he’s doing it again: Prank calls are back, baby [3:55]! Not that we’re giving a thumbs-up to prank calls — it’s only cool when Grinch does it - and even then they usually blow up in his furry green face! Speaking of cool, Grinch conducts a slam dunk interview with NBA All-Star DeAndre Jordan [6:56]! Then, a pivotal turn in the case of the missing letters to Santa [20:35]. Let’s just say if there’s one source we can always trust… it’s Max’s nose.
