Finally, a show where 'let's abolish Mondays' gets the congressional hearing it deserves.
81 minSeason 2 • Episode 9
LatestIt all comes down to this! In this double-length season finale, seven of season two’s most triumphant abolitionists return to abolish one last thing and chase the coveted Abolish World Champion title… and one more cartoonish sack of cash with a dollar sign on it. Abolitionists Alex Krokus, Macy Gilliam, Martin Urbano, Jason Siegel, Chine Ikoro, Ben Doyle, and Martin Herlihy tackle whistling in public, there not being a season pass to the Javits Center, the deal with airport food, fortune cookie fortunes that aren’t fortunes, unexpectedly bringing your boyfriend to the hang, Corvexa Biotech Holdings Ltd., and hangovers (and Jeffrey Epstein’s Associates) (but mostly hangovers). Rebutting one last time this season as part of The Political Establishment are Jamie Linn Watson, Josh Nasser, Brielle DeMirjian, and Andy Vega.
On Abolish Everything!, comedian-abolitionists roast a pet peeve they want banned from society, while a panel of improvisers dubbed “The Political Establishment” argue on behalf of the status quo. The audience chooses their champion each episode, each of whom will come back to compete in the season finale.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show parodies American political theater by treating trivial grievances with C-SPAN seriousness, satirizing how our actual debates have become pure performance.
Chandler Dean developed the format from his viral Twitter threads roasting mundane things; the PowerPoint presentation style was originally a constraint from pandemic-era Zoom shows.
