Golden ticket winner who Tony said won his ticket about a year earlier, back for a long-awaited return. Turkish, came to the United States fifteen years ago; very dry delivery, with material on immigration, his first job's sexual-harassment training, and American foreign policy, closed with a deliberately almost-copyright-infringing nod to a famous New York song. Interview covered two people he cares about being in prison, one in the US and one a comedian jailed in Turkey for criticizing the government and its president's son, why he does not put subtitles on his clips, and Turkey's rule allowing men to avoid mandatory military service by proving they are gay. Paints t-shirts on the side and earned a Redban sound effect for a food-pun callback.

Returning golden ticket winner from a couple of months earlier, third ever appearance; originally from Turkey, 33. Set was about loving fat girls and dating a woman whose previous boyfriend killed himself. Interview covered his rental car getting vandalized in Houston, the $17.84 he saved on insurance that left him with a $3,000 deductible, and doing 16 shows in seven days while losing about a thousand dollars. Ari Shaffir riffed that a Turkey biopic should be called 'Between Sadness and Blood.'

Golden ticket winner cashing in for the first time with a brand new minute. From Turkey, 33 years old, a US citizen, and about three weeks into his post-golden-ticket run. Interview covered Turkish reaction to his success and the long wait on fellow regular Ari Matti's immigration paperwork.

New name in the bucket and the night's golden ticket winner, announced at about 1:06:18. From Turkey, 33 years old, nine years in comedy with seven of those in the United States, six months in Austin after years in Orange County and Los Angeles. Works part time for a luxury car brand; long bit about how Turkish men avoid mandatory military service.
