Ongoing tensions between Alix Earle and Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, stemming from Earle’s 2025 exit from the Unwell Network and the quiet cancellation of her Hot Mess podcast, have cooled any prospects for a timely return appearance. Public spats, social media jabs, and Earle’s repeated deflection of feud questions on outlets like the Today show through mid-2026 have reinforced trader skepticism that the pair will reconcile quickly enough for a booking by year-end. While Earle guested on the show in 2023 during their initial partnership, the current industry narrative of strained ties and network fallout keeps the implied probability of “No” at 66 percent, with any surprise announcement serving as the clearest swing factor before December 31.
