Season 2’s expanded lineup
The three newly announced pairings continue a second season that opened with Jeff Goldblum as host and CMAT as musical guest. “Stath Lets Flats” star Jamie Demetriou hosted the following week with Royal Blood, before “Chicken Shop Date” host Amelia Dimoldenberg took the reins with Rachel Chinouriri.
