The comedy world was buzzing when rumors spread about Kill Tony possibly moving to Netflix. Fans feared the popular live podcast would vanish from YouTube, similar to what happened when Netflix acquired Norm Macdonald Has a Show. With Kill Tony holding the title of the number-one live podcast and Netflix pushing live comedy content, it wasn’t too far-fetched to think it might go exclusive.
After the Tom Brady roast episode, some speculated the show would stream live on Netflix every Monday. However, that idea quickly seemed unrealistic, especially considering how risky it would be to let random bucket-pull comedians go straight to millions of live viewers.
Now, it’s official—Kill Tony has landed a three-episode deal with Netflix. These episodes will be exclusive specials, but the regular weekly format will remain on YouTube. Tony Hinchcliffe reassured fans there’s no need to worry about losing the familiar format they love.
The Netflix deal shows mainstream interest in the show, but the heart of Kill Tony—raw, unfiltered live comedy—will stay intact. Fans can still catch new episodes on YouTube every Monday while looking forward to seeing the special Netflix content in the future.
