Appearances
- #7802:22:04Golden TicketMay 7, 2026
Introduced as the greatest golden ticket winner in the show's history. Deadpan, halting set of premises rather than polished jokes - hot-boxing his garage, sawing a woman in half with modern medicine, and going back in time to circumcise and convert baby Hitler rather than kill him. In the interview he said his car had been towed in LA after he misread a parking sign, and pitched two movie ideas: a man who turns his cat into a woman ('What's New Pussycat?') and Air Bud as President of the United States. Tony joked he was on ketamine.

Leadoff performer; Tony introduced him as his favorite leadoff hitter in the show's history and a golden ticket winner who keeps winning again and again. Now based in South Florida, and the panel dubbed his new look 'Trap Marty'. Brought a backpack of gift t-shirts for Tony, Redban and Michael Gonzales, all in huge sizes (one later re-gifted on stage as a 3XL prize); jokes centered on substitute teaching special-ed and a banana/condom sex-ed bit. Running interview jokes about how much he was sweating (Tony noted the stage was 76.6 degrees) and about having been doxxed as living on the 30th floor; he also landed impressions of RFK and of Tony.
- #7721:44:56Golden TicketMar 28, 2026
Introduced as one of the greatest golden ticket winners in show history, with more opening spots and more all-time spots than any other golden ticket winner. Jokes about being too squeamish to be a surgeon, distrusting doctors, and overhearing hotel sex. Brought a homemade invention: crushed soda cans duct-taped to old sneakers as DIY tap shoes, which he demonstrated. Also did the crowd-demanded 10 jumping jacks, and riffed with Tim Butterly about Tim's thousand batting average from one college at-bat.
- #7686:14Golden TicketApr 27, 2026
Introduced by Tony as one of the greatest golden ticket winners in show history, who debuts more new minutes than any other golden ticket winner. Did a brand new minute on human trafficking, wearing his sister's dress, and school dances. In the interview he showed off the dog whistle hanging around his neck, his new 'unique instrument' after discovering everyone else plays harmonica; he is legally blind and his adopted old dog is deaf, which Tony called a hell of a squad.
- #7638:04Golden TicketMar 23, 2026
Opened the show; Tony introduced him as maybe the greatest golden ticket winner of all time and called him the automatic party starter. Interview centered on traveling by air with his sedated Shih Tzu mix, which soiled its carrier mid-flight on Delta.
- #7601:43:56Golden TicketMar 2, 2026
Existing golden ticket winner brought back and introduced as perhaps the best in the show's history; he did not win a ticket in this episode. Did a new minute on medication, smoking weed through a squash and second cousins. In the interview he pulled a children's voice-changer megaphone out of his backpack and cycled through robot, ghost, alien and monster settings.
