Lineup
Set: Jennifer opened about coming out of both closets (bisexual and shoe closet), being a confused bisexual blonde German Jew, and dating mishaps in LA including a yeast infection joke and 5 AM booty call text.
Interview: Tony and panel discussed the dual closet joke setup, her age (34), dating preferences (more guys), and suggestions to refine the closet metaphor with more sexual innuendo.
- Recently came out of both closets - bisexual and one with too many shoes.
- Guy asked her out for cottage cheese; she replied might have yeast infection.
- Guy texted 5am booty call question mark - that's a wake-up call not booty call.
- Panel debated the closet setup - suggested she needed clearer sexual innuendo or double-door imagery.
Set: Scott joked about the South not marrying cousins, smoking for 16 years looking like a cigarette, and the difficulty of quitting while people pressure him about it.
Interview: Tony praised Scott for strong entrance but noted he looked at the clock and said he didn't know how much time he had, advising him to keep fighting to the bell. Discussed his age (30), appearance (looks like doctor), and Devo resemblance from his Twitter handle.
- Despite beliefs, not all Southerners marry cousins, some just fuck them.
- Smoking 16 years, could've done push-ups instead, looks like a cigarette.
- People pressure him about quitting smoking; he should be enabled not criticized.
- Scott looked at clock at 28-29 seconds and said 'I don't know how much time I have' - Tony coached him to keep fighting.
- Panel revealed Scott's father was in Devo, explaining the Twitter handle.
Set: Al delivered a rapid-fire monologue covering topics: Chinese government policy, Charlie Sheen/Bree Olson, fourth graders selling weed, and a joke about monkeys choosing porn over food.
Interview: Tony and panel discussed Al's asthma attack during set, newly diagnosed asthma (two weeks prior), adapting material when breathing issues arose, and his professional approach to maximizing his time.
- Fourth graders caught smoking and selling weed at school, asking for seconds at cafeteria.
- Scientists found monkeys choose monkey porn over food when given option.
- Al had an asthma attack mid-set, couldn't get first joke out, but adapted and finished strong.
- Panel praised him for adapting and not mentioning the issue until after, letting the joke work.
Skylar
Set: Skylar told a joke about grandma setting him up on a blind date at a psychiatrist's office where he got pills that made him forget, but he stopped mid-joke losing confidence.
Interview: Tony noted Skylar bailed on the joke and didn't finish, discussing his writing process (wrote joke today, forgot punchline), his work at strip club, performing 2x/week, and suggestions to work on one-liners first.
- Grandma set up blind date at psychiatrist office, got pills, mind cloudy 3 days.
- Skylar accidentally wrote a funny joke mid-set but panicked and stopped without finishing.
- Panel discussed his similar pattern of bailing on jokes and losing confidence mid-set.
Ori Amir
Set: Ori delivered a crowd-pleasing set about American exceptionalism, calling Americans number one compared to other countries' reactions to insults, with jokes about Pakistan, Israel, and France.
Interview: Panel discussed Ori's background (5 years in America, from Israel with German blood, studies neuroscience), his visa status, whether he'd marry an American woman to stay, favorite TV shows (The Wire, Futurama), and sports knowledge.
- Americans number one - react well to insults; other countries stone/jail you for it.
- In Pakistan they'd stone sister; Israel says no to criticism after Holocaust; France offended.
- Panel loved Ori's lovable on-stage presence, with Shawn calling him like the Campbell's Soup boy grown up.
- Discussion about matching Ori with Crazy Amber from earlier in show as 'world war 3'.
GT
Set: GT delivered crude sexual material about a recent hookup, describing a woman's small mouth relative to his penis size, scratching issues, and subsequent sexual activities.
Interview: Tony questioned GT's age of the woman (said 36 but looks 44, Colombian), discussed his background (Romanian, his initials), appearance comparisons (bald head, principal from Back to the Future), and music taste.
- Woman's mouth one size too small for his dick, she scratched him during sex.
- Woman squirted in his face, had a ring in her vagina.
- Panel praised GT's committed energy and delivery despite crude material.
- Tony compares GT to Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver based on tone.
Set: Sara critiqued fashion choices: sweatbands (indicate medical condition or meth use), vests (weird incomplete jackets), and water shoes (nonsensical). Also complained about parking lot behavior.
Interview: Tony praised Sara's set, discussed her choice to wear overalls while criticizing vests, her observation about sweatbands being douchey (early 80s cocaine reference), and her dropping out of University of Florida to pursue comedy.
- Sweatbands indicate medical condition, meth use, or you're a douchebag thinking it's cool.
- Vests are weird - keep your chest warm but arms mobile? Random condition scenario.
- Water shoes: planning to walk on water later bro with kayaking example.
- Panel noted Sara watched all her previous episodes before show to avoid repeats.
Set: Kim discussed Don Sterling racism scandal, critiquing racist friends using 'honky' and 'cracker' as white defenses, then pivoted to observational jokes about strangers and saved by the bell references.
Interview: Panel discussed Sterling's racist remarks, whether he used the N-word directly, comparisons to Elgin Baylor's accusations, and Kim's Puerto Rican background and use of the N-word casually.
- Racist friends on Facebook using honky/cracker as white defense - when did you hear black comic say this?
- When someone puts bad taste in your mouth that's what you get for letting stranger in.
- Panel noted Kim seemed high during set, got progressively better as set continued.
- Discussion about Sterling's remarks and his age, with speculation about Alzheimer's.
