He annihilated her. Shane getting his golden ticket was awesome.

It was driving me crazy trying to think of who he reminded me of when it hit me...

I am on the stripper's interview right now. Solid episode so far. I'd never heard of Gary Owen before, but he's been great.

They finally posted some exclusive content for KT+ subscribers. It was a 30 minute Q&A where Tony, sitting in a chair at his penthouse (I assume), pulls submitted member questions out of a bucket and answers them. It was better than I had thought it would be, and he didn't seem to just be going through the motions but instead gave some thoughtful answers. Hope we get more of this stuff.

Ivan killed. Pat O killed. Golden ticket guy was dialed in. Brian Simpson a top-tier panelist. Some people try and get high af and go on but nobody better than Simpson. Always like to see him on. One of the best episodes of the year.

The old pimp guy was a lot funnier than the golden ticket winner. So was Ivan. I think the golden ticket guy was more of an actual comedian and the other two guys were just naturally funny people being themselves. Still following this trend lately of golden ticket winners being good, not great

Gary is cool. Navy vet, was an MP in the service. Was married to a black chick, got divorced, just had twins with another black chick. Tours a lot, great crowd work. I get his videos on my X feed, they're usually pretty good.

I just finished up the episode this morning. Great episode, even Redban got some good one liners in. The gay guy wasn’t funny but the panel roasting him made it great. They also went hard on the stripper which was entertaining.

I thought the Shane guy was pretty good. His set was ok, not golden ticket worthy. He should have just been given another spot to do a minute. But his life story and him now getting this opportunity is really inspiring.

Hard to tell if he somehow caught lightning in a bottle with that one genius set. Interview seemed pretty solid.

However, will admit for the first 15-seconds of him setting that up was thinking this dude is a goner then the whole joke came together at the end and put a bow on it. Nobody saw it coming.

Yep. He was good enough for me to look up whatever venue it is where he performs in Pensacola. I have an upcoming weekend there and was hoping I could catch one of his full sets.

Even if it doesn’t work out, he should still be coming to Houston soon. I just missed out on Pat O’Neil in Houston. Dragged my feet but then all his shows sold out. I’ll catch him next time.

This behind the scenes show they doing is great content. Been entertaining so far. Said the footage is for a documentary, but what they got here seems like it's own show. Reminds me of Insomniac with Dave Attell in a sense that it's cameras following people doing their job and riffing in the background. Also shows what it takes to put on the show like every week. No narrator. It's chronological footage of the days events before and after the show. The cameraman will interview somebody on the spot.

Yakov Smirnoff

This dude had a show in Branson, MO when I was there 35 years ago. Can't believe he's still alive.

He’s still doing shows in Branson. Owns his own theatre there.

Another good episode. Very international. Haitian golden ticket winner, dude born in Russia, unexpressive Norwegian guy…

Fun interviews.

Yakov seemed uncomfortable and unsure of how best to contribute. But Ari had probably his best appearance as a guest.

Yakov is 75. He looks like he’s in his 50s or early 60s.

I thought the same thing. But when he speaks he sounds 75.

The happy guy from California on the other hand… that guy is one of the oldest looking 58 year olds I’ve ever seen. Seems like he’s salvaging his life in the best way he can . I’m going to have to look for him on 6th street next time I’m there and give him a fist bump.
