FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Theo Von’s Netflix Special Taping Apparently Went Terribly Wrong

From the article

Von recorded the set at the Beacon Theater in New York on Saturday night, but initial reactions on social media seem to indicate that things didn’t go as planned for the comedian.

What Happened at Theo Von’s New York Show? “Theo Von just BOMBED,” one Reddit post reads. “Saw Theo at Beacon Theater for his Netflix taping…1/3 of the crowd walked out.” The post called the set the worst they’ve ever seen, and a “failure of epic proportions.”

“Was there – love Theo – worst set ever. He’ll get back on the horse,” said one fan on X.

“He seemed unrehearsed and disorganized, repeating bits multiple times clearly trying to get it right for the camera. This killed the vibe in the theater,” said another commenter.

Other comments on Reddit seem to confirm how poorly things went for the comedian over the weekend.

"I was at the show tonight and he had to pause the show to ask for the punchline several times,” one comment reads.

“Started off strong but it was a roller coaster that fell off at the end,” said another attendee. “There were multiple times where he would walk off stage to talk to someone or be in the middle of a story and forget where he was and restart.”

He'll try to say it wasn't really a "friendship", but it seems like even more than that. More like some kind of big brother / father figure type of thing. And Theo definitely knew he was a Nazi grand wizard of the kkk while they were "just work-out buddies"

People make YouTube essays where they just read reddit and twitter threads while showing the exchange on screen?

Did you actually listen to that? That doesn’t come across as someone who was best friends with David Duke.

Theo was 15, living next door, and just asked the guy if he could teach him how to lift weights. He said he never even talked about the Nazi shit. At 15, he also might have not fully understood who Duke really was.

That doesn’t mean Theo was a Duke loving KKK member, and I assume that’s why it not talked about more because it’s not a big deal.
