The show was put on temporary hiatus in March 2013 for the papal conclave. Before and during the conclave, Rulli hosted a special show titled Holy Smokes: The Road to the Papacy from Vatican City with Father Dave Dwyer, fellow Catholic Channel host. Father Rob Keighron also hosted the Papal Election Show from New York City, recapping each day's conclave news alongside Tom Leopold (also a Catholic Channel host).
