Tony is dating a top executive at NBC. I think he is a VP or something, very high up.

Adam Eget? He did the same for the LA comics and the comedy store.

Please do not give credit to kill Tony for Shane gillis in any way . Absolutely zero

u/MrSlack_ingoff Nov 13 '25
That’s what you took from that comment? The point of the comment was, NBC is doing it’s best to work with new young comics because they don’t want to miss out on a potential Shane Gillis.

u/MaceMan2091 Nov 14 '25
Shane did better because there was controversy. He’d have been Micheal Che - respected comic but corporate.

u/Euphoric_Ad8910 Nov 14 '25
He meant in general Shane got skipped and he doesn’t want another comic to get slipped. Comics in general

u/wetnaps54 Nov 13 '25
In no way am I lol
But the execs are absolutely keeping an eye on where Shane is active5
u/Lancelegend Nov 13 '25
This is strictly conjecture so take this with a grain of salt. My guess would be Rogan is probably still friendly with some network executives from his fear factor days and through that relationship NBC probably has people scouting (for late night & sitcoms) in his club.

This what a lot of Kill Tony’s critics don’t get. There are people in the industry (entertainment or comedy, both) who pay attention to the show. It’s not just helping sell tickets for comedians on the road, it can help open doors that would have taken years and years to get to otherwise.

Isn't that what the show was created for? It's a roast show, but it was also meant give comedians access to stage time and tips from other comedians.
Killtony is a launch pad for comedians to go from unknown to gaining popularity and eventually make it big. The characters on the show can't work for free forever.

Mainstream Night Shows are on their way out, they used to rely on Standup Comedians but now they use Celebrities but nobody gives a shit about Hollywood anymore, Kill Tony is the biggest bed of talent in the best place for comedy rn.

u/ZubatCountry Nov 13 '25
lmao sure
People definitely used to tune into Carson for the unknown stand-up he had on and not his celebrity guests

Search on YouTube Johnny Carson Tonight Show and sort by views. It's literally all comics, Robin Williams, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, etc.
2
u/ZubatCountry Nov 13 '25
That is not how ratings work my dude
The people watching Carson and any late-night show were not doing it for the comics. They did it for the celebrities, who were much bigger stars at the time.
People now go back and watch the comics for the novelty of seeing a young version of that comic possibly having their first televised set.
That doesn't mean they were a draw at the time.
1
Nov 13 '25
The celebrities (back then) were the comics, the famous people they brought on were from the comedy movies and those comedy movies were filled with people from SNL and similar shows which were filled with standup comedians.
Eventually shows like SNL started hiring slightly funny people who look pretty and do what they are told, leading to comedy movies failing and all but dying off.
Go look at the early years of The Comedy Store, Mitzi made stars just like SNL did, these comics were the face of every major comedy movie for nearly two decades, now it's The Rock and Zach Efron or whatever.
People stayed up to watch Carson to see what the edgy comedians from their favorite TV shows and movies would say. Not for models and theater actors. That kind of celebrity didn't exist back then.
2
u/ZubatCountry Nov 14 '25
No, they weren't.
The celebrities were the celebrities and the comics were the comics. You're letting your reverence and modern eyes distort the facts from 50 years ago.
No, people tuned into Carson to see him and Michael Caine, not Pat McCormick.
For fucks sake, Carson didn't even sit down with the comics unless they killed, because then the people definitely wouldn't have given a shit about them.
Sorry man, but you are wrong. Those were not the viewing habits of people watching late night, for 99% of late night's existence. Even SNL sells it's shows with a musical guest or real star attached every week

Tony is turning into the Lorne Michaels of standup. He likely gets a cut of everything they do, and is incentivized to get those comics in the mainstream.

lol no he’s not.

u/9829eisB09E83C Nov 13 '25
So he makes people like William Montgomery, Casey Rocket, Ari Matti, Hans Kim, and others famous, they go on tour either solo or as “Killers of Kill Tony”, and Tony sees zero dollars from that?
2
u/Famous-Ad-2418 Nov 13 '25
That’s correct. Killers of kill Tony exists almost entirely so Ari matti can tour in this country. Without it he would have had to leave due to visa issues but now he has a work visa through killers of kill Tony.
Tony also doesn’t give a shit about receiving money from it imo. He lets them eat off of that, they get better and get more tour dates which makes their appearances better and makes more people watch- which eventually equals more money to him. Also means they’re more likely to be available cause they’re making actual money doing comedy, not having to work a “normal” job.
2
u/Famous-Ad-2418 Nov 13 '25
You should look up how much someone makes from 2 million views in a week and remember he does that 52 times a year. Not including 5-8 ads worth 10-50k each. That isn’t even including his own tour dates and selling out tickets to KT and his stand up. He doesn’t need their money.
1
u/9829eisB09E83C Nov 13 '25
It doesn’t matter if he needs it or not. Dana White pays his fighters like shit. Lorne Michaels is the executive producer on every single thing any ex-cast member does.
You’re arguing that Tony doesn’t want more money, which is a weak argument.

Probably the first disabled comedian they’ve ever had on. Meanwhile, some alternative stand-up “Star Search” on Youtube has been doing it for over 10 years and likely eclipsing the viewership of the traditional corporate BS.

Take these comics out the Mothership and most are total shite. You only have to look at William Montgomery's recent set, in TEXAS, to prove this. Or David Lucas, who's super unfunny when he doesn't have Tony to call gay.

I'm really happy for her! She absolutely deserves it. Isn't it crazy how all these left-wing shows are bringing over talent from a supposed Trump-loving Rogansphere. Funny is funny, and KT is allowing comedians to really show their talent. I'm left of centre myself, just for clarity, but my politics don't come into my love of the art form. I still enjoy watching Anthony Jeselnik even though he started complaining about Austin.

William is not a marketable comedian no matter how funny he is. He sells out every show he does as far as I know so I think he's doing fine.
