My Favorite Lyrics is hosted by Saturday Night Live star and stand-up comedian Devon Walker.
Every week, Devon invites people he thinks are cool to talk about the music that shaped them and the lyrics they can’t get out of their heads. Iconic, idiotic, or accidentally profound, no bar is safe.

This week, Walker is joined by friend and fellow stand-up comedian Nicole Byer as they discuss a variety of topics including their love for music and personal comedic journeys.
This just in: songs have meaning. Podcasting pro and comic Nicole Byer graces the show this week to walk Devon through some wild Celine Dion lyrics, reveal her favorite era of Michael Jackson, and to make the claim that they don’t make McDonald’s Happy Meal toys like they used to.
