Grindr’s Award-Winning Podcast, Who’s the A**hole? Is Back for a Fifth Round

Hosted by Katya Zamolodchikova, Season 5 Welcomes Matt Rogers, Mary Beth Barone, Jaboukie, Evan Mulrooney, George Civeris, and Alaska

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five seasons in and Grindr (NYSE: GRND) still has stories to tell. Grindr Presents: Who’s The Asshole?, the Shorty Award-winning, sex-positive podcast hosted by drag legend Katya Zamolodchikova, returns September 17 with a stacked new lineup of comedians, creators, and certified gay icons ready to pass judgment on the Grindr community’s juiciest tales of hookups, heartbreak, questionable behavior, and everything in between. This season, nothing is off limits as Katya and her guests weigh in on hookup etiquette, relationship red flags, bedroom mishaps, and the questionable decisions that blur the line between bad judgment and asshole behavior, turning the community’s most unhinged submissions into the kind of conversations you probably shouldn’t have in polite company.

Each week, Katya and a new guest dive into real, user-submitted stories from the Grindr community to answer one deceptively simple question: Who’s the asshole? Expect unsolicited opinions, unfiltered advice, hot takes, and the kind of moral dilemmas only the Grindr community could deliver.

After Season 3 took home the 2026 Shorty Award for Best Branded Podcast, Grindr Presents: Who’s The Asshole? returns for Season 5 with its biggest lineup yet: Matt Rogers, Mary Beth Barone, Jaboukie Young-White, Evan Mulrooney, George Civeris, and Alaska.

“The Grindr community keeps giving us more stories, more chaos, and more reasons to keep asking: who’s the asshole?” says Tristan Pineiro, Chief Marketing Officer at Grindr. “The magic of this show has always been that our community is willing to say the things most people won’t, and clearly, they’re not running out of material. Katya turns those stories into hilarious, revealing conversations about how we date, hook up, connect, and occasionally behave terribly. At this point, we’d be assholes not to keep going.”

Season five features:

• Matt Rogers - September 17: Co-hosts Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang, a podcast TIME named one of the 100 best of all time, while also writing, acting, singing, and moonlighting as the self-appointed Pop Prince of Christmas, with a Capitol Records album to prove it.
• Mary Beth Barone - September 24: Stars on and writes for Overcompensating, co-hosts the podcast Ride with Benito Skinner, and just dropped her Netflix debut special Galaxy Brain, going after J.K. Rowling, Mark Zuckerberg, and whiny male comedians alike.
• Jaboukie Young-White - October 1: Currently gearing up for a brand new comedy tour after turning being extremely online into a career that’s taken him from Twitter to The Daily Show to voicing a Disney character, without ever fully retiring the chaos.
• Evan Mulrooney - October 8: Self-proclaimed “Working Man’s Henry Cavill” who traded a Big Ten football scholarship for Chicago’s comedy scene, and now splits his time between TV, comedy, and Instagram, with a brief stint as an honorary, gold-Speedo-clad Pit Crew member on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
• George Civeris - October 15: Named one of Vulture's comedians you should and will know, he co-hosts StraightioLab with Sam Taggart and recently released his debut comedy special, A Sense of Urgency, after a previous life as a researcher at Columbia’s Tow Center and editor of Gawker.
• Alaska - October 22: RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2 winner, recording artist with four studio albums, co-host of the hit podcast Race Chaser with Willam, and now leading the national tour of Oh, Mary! as Mary Todd Lincoln – a role she's called her actual dream come true.

“I’m back to probe deeply into your juiciest stories of lust, betrayal, and questionable judgment,” says Katya. “This season’s lineup is stacked, and I’m thrilled to once again help determine who, exactly, is the asshole. It’s important work, and someone has to do it.”
