KILL TONY #770 - TOM SEGURA + SHERYL UNDERWOOD
"Yes, I did all the racist jokes. I don't know if you did all of them. Yeah, I made all the Cheryl jokes, all the Cheryl— I was just playing. I love Cheryl, but I've been watching you since I was a kid, baby."
Comedian David Lucas revealed during his Kill Tony appearance that he wrote the racist jokes for the Kevin Hart Netflix roast. Lucas, who appeared on stage and performed new material, also claimed credit for writing jokes targeting Cheryl Underwood, demonstrating his role as a behind-the-scenes writer for major comedy productions.

About this episode

Host Tony Hinchcliffe welcomed comedy heavyweights Tom Segura and Cheryl Underwood as guest panelists for this episode of Kill Tony, recorded live at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas. The episode marked a significant moment for Underwood, who had just been signed to a Netflix one-hour special deal immediately following her performance at the Kevin Hart roast. The show featured the standard format of pulling aspiring comedians from a bucket for 60-second sets followed by interviews. Regular performer Dedrick Flynn opened with strong material about buying his first couch and the struggles of living alone, setting a high bar. The bucket pulls ranged wildly in quality, from Princess Rubber Ducky, a blind comedian with type 1 diabetes who performed religious material, to Stephen Glenn, a former child actor who appeared in clown attire and performed a controversial gay parody of the Cheers theme song that couldn't be aired due to copyright issues. Glenn's chaotic energy and revelation that he was a child actor on Kenneth Copeland Ministries and had an uncredited role on Walker, Texas Ranger made for one of the most memorable interviews. Other standouts included G-Pow, an overweight comedian dating a 50-year-old woman who earned a booking on the Secret Show, and Ronnie Fryer, a single father whose child's mother is currently in prison for armed robbery. Golden ticket winner Sir Winston Pickles delivered his signature dark humor in full costume and makeup. The episode closed with regular Pat O'Neill performing aggressively dark abortion material that drew praise from all panelists. Throughout the night, Underwood and Hinchcliffe discussed Black cultural superstitions, while Segura promoted his Netflix special "Bad Thoughts" and teased upcoming controversial material.
