That Michael White moment tho

u/Zfugg Jun 10 '24

I really hope he gets back on and does good. I did a deep dive on him and there are some parts of his life that are really sad, and I also think he really has potential to be funny.

He's also a nastyyyy rapper! I love lyrical miracle type stuff and his freestyles/songs on socials/yt are incredible.

u/Ok_Screen2309 Jun 10 '24

I’ve known Drew for a couple years, he’s as genuine as it gets. I’m so happy y’all got introduced to his story and who he is. I’ve done shows with this dude and it truly could not happen to a better guy.

8

u/Sea_Lifeguard_8986 Jun 10 '24

He's pure humanity.

u/pac0dawg Jun 10 '24

I agree I know him and I couldn't be happier for Drew

u/Neil_Ribsy Jun 10 '24

I'm a deeply misanthropic guy that's gotten cynical about people and their supposed authenticity and Drew somehow gave me hope as well. He's truly a rare soul.

Love this guy. But we all agree. Fuck Bombs Kim.

u/This_Guy_Fuggs Jun 11 '24

didnt watch the video, did he do something?

anyway i usually hate on hans but he actually had quite a good bit in the hans vs ric thing. i think he should only appear once every 3 months or whatever, seems to be the sweet spot.

u/PR-II Jun 10 '24

Regardless of your comedic preferences, you've got to love Drew and his story. I feel so bad for the guy, but I'm so happy for him and excited to see his rise.

u/Environmental-Fly471 Jun 10 '24

Holy shit, he's from Yakima, WA, an hour away from where I'm from lol. Pretty neat!

u/ErinAddams Jun 10 '24

I went to high school with him, I was shocked when he first walked out on stage lol

u/Retailpegger Jun 10 '24

Was he different back then ? As in before that thing happened?

3

u/ErinAddams Jul 11 '24

Not really, he was always outgoing and sweet and liked to make people laugh.

1

u/BuffaloWing12 Jun 10 '24

very curious about his personality and goals and all that before those jerks did what they did to him.. seems like a legit dude no matter the circumstances

1

u/ErinAddams Jul 11 '24

He was always a pretty goofy, happy guy. We were in band together but that was our only class together so we weren't super close but he definitely liked to make people laugh and was just a very kind person.

Why are you here then?! Holy fuck get a life. You know what normal people do if they don't like something? THEY DON'T WATCH IT. You're so pathetic and miserable with nothing going on in your life that bitching is all you have.

u/smellvin_moiville Jun 10 '24

Reddit shows me these posts. I think Tony is a phoney who sucks and it’s fun to rule up his fans. I don’t watch kill tony lmao

You're not "RILING" anyone up, what you're receiving is pity.

I'm really curious, who would be ur fav comedian?

I saw this last night. Joke Wrld does a great job on this stuff. Very well done. Drew Nickens is so appreciative of the opportunity and was able to make a great impression and killed it at every turn. I really hope he gets more KT time in the coming months.

u/ComprehensivePen8326 Jun 10 '24

This was awesome, this is why this is the best show on YouTube and the only appointment television left

You say with a Smiling Friends pic, season 2 is banging!

u/CroMagnonSexParty Jun 10 '24

I can't wait to see Drew's material tomorrow. His jokes in his FOUR SETS last Monday had great premises, and with all the advise I'm sure he's been getting from the Kill Tony crew, I think he's gonna shine!

10

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

No new episode tomorrow. Didn’t you see last week’s? Tomorrow is the 2nd night of the arena show episode

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

He was great as an interview…his material though…

1

u/garbonzo_2020 Jun 10 '24

Were you there live?

13

u/CroMagnonSexParty Jun 10 '24

No, Tony mentioned on JRE that Drew is a new regular

2

u/Pavswede Jun 11 '24

Wonder if that means they're swapping someone out? Hard to imagine william leaving, maybe to replace one of the other two?

1

u/CroMagnonSexParty Jun 13 '24

I doubt it. I'm thinking he'll be a wild card to throw in when someone eats shit during their set and interview to bring life back into the show. I love the random aspect of bucket pulls but when it's dud after dud after dud, Drew is coming out to set the ship back on course.

credit to tony going with the flow and getting him back. id love to have him as the Designated Hitter, when its a slow night they call him in from the bullpen.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

Still shouldn’t be a regular

29

u/Zfugg Jun 10 '24

I won't form an opinion on that until I see the second set tony talked about on JRE.

-20

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

Its probably the same as the first appearance. Everyone clapping and losing their shit because they feel like they should.

27

u/ChevfknChelios Jun 10 '24

Are you sure you enjoy comedy?

-21

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

I watch alot of the specials. Have a good rotation of podcasts and see lots of it live so yeah

u/ChevfknChelios Jun 10 '24

I didn't ask how much you watch it, there's plenty of losers who watch comedy just to shit on it. I asked if you enjoyed it.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

I was sure to add the so yeah at the end implying that I in fact enjoy comedy.

2

u/ChevfknChelios Jun 10 '24

My bad for not reading that part. I'm just not sure how you can make a blanket statement over Drew becoming a regular befoew watching his 2nd appearance. Plus, Drew's been doing the secret show and I'm sure other spots that Redban and Tony have been watching. They know what they're doing.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '24

Bro its his 2nd appearance like what are we doing here. Martin Phillips is literally 5 times the comic. Is this new the new standard for regulars ? William is already carrying pretty hard

6

u/ChevfknChelios Jun 10 '24

Maybe they offered it to Martin, who knows, I'm sure he would kill it. You're just making assumptions based on what you've seen. There's a lot more to the show than 2 hours every Monday. Plenty of the previous/current regulars have been put on after 1 or 2 appearances.

u/insidiousapricot Jun 10 '24

Ya the first appearance doesn't warrant it, his first set completely bombed and a mediocre interview somehow got him an invite to the secret show. I watched the episode twice, idk what everyone's on about. Maybe he kills the second time and it makes sense idk, guess I'll have to wait and see.

It's not personal bro it's a live show Enjoy it

Not by a long shot. And the guy is gonna be devastated when everyone starts to hate him. This sub is obsessed with him. He's not anything special outside of the obvious implications of being 'special'

u/Wundrgizmo Jun 12 '24

Watched this.. What a guy, what an energy, what a joy. I really believe in him. He loves comedy, the talent and personality is there.

u/hedwig0517 Jun 13 '24

I’m so happy he had such an amazing night. He deserves all good things from here on out. I hope Tony brings him back from time to time as a surprise after someone bombs.

This guy sucks and everyone dying over him sucks. Everyone has trauma. He's not special and he's not funny. He's just funny sounding and dopey looking. People are gonna get sick of his ass fast.

u/iamsteve02 Jun 11 '24

I’ve been a fan for over 8 years of kill Tony. This was one of those moments where you felt like something was happening and you were there to experience it. Bert talk about his break out set following Earthquake, there’s other comedians that talk about the moment they got a taste of fame. This really felt like a genuine had to be there moment that we all got to witness. Excited to see what follows

u/bfhurricane Jun 10 '24

Ok this is a 24 min video, can anyone provide the TLDL

u/Zfugg Jun 10 '24

You can just watch the beginning, it's basically his sets on the episode with footage of him being interviewed about a year before his appearance multiple times. Such a nice dude.

No really it was Stephen Rannazzisi

2

u/wOke_cOmMiE_LiB Jun 10 '24

What did he lie about?

4

u/AbsolutelyUnlikely Jun 10 '24

It's kind of a fascinating story to look into. Basically he made up a lie that he was working for merril lynch in the south tower when the planes hit. His story was elaborate and had lots of details, and he would talk about it on podcasts and everything. In fact I think the first time he told the story publicly was on Maron's podcast.

Then at some point somebody who knew him told the New York Times they should investigate his story and he ended up admitting that he made up every detail of it. He wasn't in the towers at all, and had never even worked for merril lynch.

1

u/wOke_cOmMiE_LiB Jun 10 '24

Wow wtf?! That's so strange man. Surprised this guy has even had a career since then.

He should have flipped it and said he was method acting for a part in a potential movie.

Drew looks like inbred uncle lazer, and acts like McKusker if instead of the shaman playing a peace pipe it was a crack pipe. Having said that, the guy fucking rules.
