Coldplay with Josh Terry

from Tonight's Musical Guest, Today Hosted by Tonight's Musical Guest, Today

Maybe you love to hate 'em. Maybe they're a guilty pleasure. Or maybe like most humans on earth you casually enjoy 'em. Either way, It's COLDPLAY week! Joining the show is music critic and writer of the Chicago-based culture blog No Expectations Josh Terry! The guys and Josh take a cue from Chris Martin and lean into sincerity as they discuss why Coldplay became arguably the most popular band of the 21st century. Early clips from Letterman and Kimmel show the band in their rawest and most palatable form. The show returns to the Super Bowl again, with better results than last episode. And Alex's take on a 2019 SNL performance rattles Jon to his core. Want to watch along with us? Check out the links below for the performances discussed this week!
