Synopsis

The endlessly unpredictable (and unemployed) RJ City returns to talk hosting All Elite Comedy with Colt Cabana (Live in Chicago on 12/26/25), why the show thrives on performers you don’t think will necessarily work (Marina Shafir and Roderick Strong in Chicago), and how the AEW Match Game routinely descends into chaos. RJ breaks down the decision to end Hey! (EW) after 165 episodes, how it quietly became an AEW rite of passage, and why he knew it was time to stop before repeating himself. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about guests who thought they were getting a serious interview, unexpected moments that turned into wrestling memes, and why resistance often makes comedy even better. Plus, RJ opens up about the influence of Pee-wee Herman, his friendship with Paul Reubens, what full commitment to a character really costs, and how that philosophy shaped his career — with a wild David Arquette story, an AEW Family Feud memory, and plenty of laughs along the way.
