Lineup
Set: High-energy set about being a single mother from Chicago who moved to California hoping to become a star. Rambling, stream-of-consciousness delivery covering her children, manifesting money, and general life chaos.
Interview: Chaotic interview where Miss Lips repeatedly ignored direct questions, went off on tangents about her GED, bank cards, manifesting, and engaged in increasingly inappropriate behavior on stage.

- Got on her knees during the interview in an increasingly inappropriate manner.
- Repeatedly failed to answer simple interview questions and went off on nonsensical tangents.
Set: British comedian visiting from Japan for four days, telling jokes about introducing toys to bedroom, shower routines, and efficient morning rituals. Deadpan delivery with absurdist humor.
Interview: Tony pushed Alex to become more American, revealed he's from near London, teaches English to four-year-olds in Japan, is 30 years old, and recently had a Japanese girlfriend.
- Tried Legos as bedroom toy for girlfriend; girlfriend was unimpressed with that approach.

- Tony invented a gesture to make Alex look less British/more American by adjusting his forehead and hair.
- Multiple panelists complained the interview was going nowhere and set the bar too low.
Set: Smart observational comedy about ethnic slurs, being ambiguously ethnic in California, and people yelling slurs at her on the street. Very edgy premise about getting audience to almost say the n-word.
Interview: Revealed she's been doing comedy only 2 months, got a master's degree in Pittsburgh, currently pursuing PhD in biomedical engineering, went to a college with a cannon, made pipe bombs in desert with nerdy scientists.
- Wikipedia's ethnic slurs are too cute; adds adjectives before n-word for other races.

- Revealed she made pipe bombs with nerdy scientists in the desert as undergrad tradition.
- Tony and panel were very impressed, Tony praised her work ethic and energy despite only 2 months in.
Set: Smart comedy about LinkedIn vs Instagram hotness ratings, researching competition as a hypothetical hooker, and awkward job interviews. Self-deprecating but confident delivery.
Interview: Discussion about improving the LinkedIn premise, tension with Pat Reagan about past comments, and coaching on making jokes more specific and grounded.
- She's an 8 on Instagram but a 10 on LinkedIn because there aren't hot girls on LinkedIn.
- Researched hooker competition on LinkedIn, found insurance companies instead of actual sex workers.
- Hypothetical interview where hooker lists jobs as hand jobs, blow jobs, etc.
- Pat Reagan made hostile comments suggesting future dating rejection; tension between them surfaced.
- Tony praised Vanessa's ability to be both self-deprecating and confident simultaneously.
Set: Comedy about trying to be cool joining youth group in 9th grade, Christian sleepaway camp backfiring, and Drake saying the n-word instead of kike as half-Jewish/half-Black artist.
Interview: Tony fact-checked Ali's Drake knowledge, revealed she got fired from movie theater for being on phone and monotone voice, and praised her consistent quality.
- Thought Christian youth camp would make her popular; only got baptized instead.
- Started listening to Drake because she's a white girl and that's how we form personalities.
- Drake is half-Jewish half-Black; wishes he'd say kike instead of n-word for inclusivity.
- Tony revealed Drake was in Degrassi, Ali's world-view shifted; she lost her n-word card.
- Ali refused to detail how she got fired from movie theater, said she'd covered it previously.
Set: Douchey Vegas guy jokes about dating strippers, never for more than 9 months because pregnant stripper won't support all three. Teen Mom reference confused crowd.
Interview: Tony called out the joke as terrible and unoriginal, questioned his timeline inconsistencies (4 vs 10 years in Vegas), and pushed back on his douchey persona.
- Vegas dating: never date strippers more than 9 months because pregnant stripper won't support all three.
