Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie goes toe to-toe with Bobby Newport in their big televised debate. Ann, Tom, and Chris work in the media spin room, while Ron goes the extra mile to save a party for Leslie’s donors.
Our Take
Leslie finally getting her shot on the debate stage makes for a fun, fast hour, and the celebrity cameos as moderators mostly land without feeling gimmicky. The spin room stuff with Ann and Chris gives everyone something good to do. Paul Rudd’s Bobby Newport remains the dumbest charm weapon this show has, and the ending twist is earned. Well worth your time.
