In 2020 Klonick launched In Lieu of Fun, a daily hour-long live-streaming show co-hosted with Benjamin Wittes. The show was created as an alternative viewing experience to the presidential briefings on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Klonick and Wittes also added Scott J. Shapiro and Genevieve DellaFera as co-hosts.
