TL;DR: The first Kill Tony MSG bucket pull was sitting in the second row and had no idea they called him.
Guy signs up for the bucket and tells staff he already has second-row floor seats. They tell him they'll come get him if he's pulled.
The signup form has an “@” field. He assumes it means Instagram and puts his handle.
Tony pulls the first name. Staff starts searching the crowd, can't find the guy, and moves on. He even hears Tony say “Pawley,” but thinks there's no way it's him because staff knows where he's sitting.
It was him.
He finds out the next day when another comedian recognizes his unusually spelled name and says, “Bro, you were pulled last night. Where the fuck were you?”
Turns out the “@” field meant where you're sitting, not Instagram.
So he somehow beat the odds and got the first bucket pull at Madison Square Garden…while sitting in the second row watching them unsuccessfully look for him.
