Load up the rap CD and hit the board room, it's Succession time! As we celebrate the end of the road for HBO's richest, backstabbin'est, swearin'est show, we invite co-pilot Anthony D'Almeida (Jimmy Kimmel Live!) to the cockpit to break down how we got here. From humble beginnings as a follow to Westworld, Succession has taken on countless lives of its own in social media fandom for its high stakes and satirical stab at nepotism, wealth, and corporate America. It's a dense

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. Hosts Geoff Kerbis Max
