"I've lost 350 pounds. Well, guess what? You lost it, Red Band found it. Yeah, I also lost the last 50 pounds with the help of Wegovy."
Stand-up comedian Stephanie Ann disclosed she has lost 350 pounds over a 13-year weight loss journey, beginning with gastric sleeve surgery and recently using the GLP-1 drug Wegovy for the final 50 pounds. She made her Kill Tony debut during a visit from Detroit.

About this episode

Tony Hinchcliffe hosted a high-energy Kill Tony episode at the Comedy Mothership in Austin with a rare triple-guest panel: veteran comics Ari Shaffir and Luis J. Gomez, joined by breakout talent Peyton Ruddy in his first-ever appearance. The night featured over a dozen amateur and professional comedians pulled from a bucket, including standout performances from regular Dedrick Flynn and golden ticket winner Orhun Tamor. The episode delivered shocking revelations, including comedian Royal Oaks disclosing he served time for a life-without-parole drug trafficking conviction that was later overturned due to police corruption, and that he was involved in a viral assault on a heckler with a microphone. Other notable moments included Stephanie Ann's 350-pound weight loss journey, Surgeon's immigration story via the diversity lottery fleeing Nepal's civil war, and a failed Mexican drum-off competition. The panel's chemistry was electric, with Peyton Ruddy earning immediate praise and invitations to Skank Fest and Tony's secret show. The episode also featured Wee Man promoting the new Jackass film and closed with a killer set from rising regular Pat O'Neill, whose dark, tight joke-writing drew comparisons to the night's best. Hinchcliffe maintained control throughout, balancing roast-heavy interviews with genuine curiosity about each comic's background.
