This loss of muscle tissue is particularly concerning for older users who may struggle to regain it. The drug has become a cultural phenomenon in Hollywood, with celebrities like Chelsea Handler discussing its effects and the resulting "Ozempic face" caused by rapid facial fat loss.

The diabetes drug Ozempic has gained massive popularity on TikTok for off-label weight loss, leading to a side effect known as "Ozempic face."

A viral advertisement featuring celebrities like Chelsea Handler and Mark Ruffalo appearing to be naked is critiqued for its attempt to explain "naked ballots" in Pennsylvania.

Comedian Chelsea Handler discussed her post-2016 election trauma and subsequent therapy on Bill Maher's program.

The panel concludes that the stakes are higher with Donald Trump, yet Clinton's past remains a crucial part of the cultural shift.
