SmartLess recently expanded its catalog with back-to-back releases, featuring musician Sting on May 18 and media personality Kareem Rahma on May 11.
While the show remains a juggernaut, other creators are taking notice of its massive footprint. On Your Mom's House, host Tom Segura acknowledged the trio's dominance, noting, "Smartless, the, um, you know, it's a very popular podcast hosted by those, the three, Bateman-" while referencing the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the show's production schedule.
The reception to these latest guests highlights the show's pivot toward a broader cultural mix. By balancing legends like Sting with digital-native creators like Kareem Rahma, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes are betting that their chemistry can bridge the gap between legacy stardom and modern internet fame.
