The curtain has closed on another unforgettable season of Temple Smash, Temple University’s one and only televised variety show—produced for students, by students. Taped live in Studio 1 of Annenberg Hall at Klein College, the show continues to be a vibrant showcase for student talent across sketch comedy, music, filmmaking, and performance.

In the Spring 2025 season finale, hosts Caris and Gabby took the stage with their signature chaotic charm, guiding the audience through a night full of laughter, absurdity, and creative brilliance. With a live studio audience feeding the energy, the episode delivers non-stop entertainment and caps off the season in true Smash fashion.

The night features in-show guests Pillbook, who brought a fresh, electrifying sound that had the whole studio buzzing. And, of course, the heart of the show—the sketches—did not disappoint.

This episode included original skits titled:

  1. “Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes”
  2. “Slay Grocery Store”
  3. “The Sentence”
  4. “Fake Librarian”
  5. “Makin’ It Rain”
  6. “Cera Le Vie”
  7. “P.O.O.P.”
  8. “In Memoriam”
  9. “Birdie”
  10. “Pluto: Smaller Than Ever”
  11. “Girl, You’re Crazy”
  12. “Propelled with Passion”
  13. “Gen Z Soap Opera”

Each sketch brings its own flavor, showing off the bold, witty, and off-the-wall ideas Temple students are known for. Whether it was satire, surrealism, or just plain silly, Temple Smash proves once again why it remains a cornerstone of campus creativity.
