Speaker 1: Theovon has been everywhere this week, making headlines with an
Speaker 1: exclusive long form interview with Donald Trump on his hit
Speaker 1: podcast This past Weekend, which dropped Tuesday and immediately became
Speaker 1: a trending topic on x and Instagram. The episode was
Speaker 1: filmed the Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, and offered a
Speaker 1: candid exchange rarely seen. Trump poked about Theo's past struggles
Speaker 1: with addiction, specifically cocaine and alcohol, and the two traded
Speaker 1: blunt stories about family substance abuse and recovery. THEO, ever unfiltered,
Speaker 1: described his own youth and the owl like effects of cocaine,
Speaker 1: sparking meme ready sound bites and massive commentary across social feeds.
Speaker 1: Major outlets like USA Today and AOL highlighted Theo's role
Speaker 1: as an unusually frank and compassionate interviewer, not just a comic,
Speaker 1: but a voice resonating with both celebrity A listers and
Speaker 1: polarizing political figures simultaneously. Ticket sales are red hot for
Speaker 1: Theo's twenty twenty five return of the Rat Tour, with
Speaker 1: back to back Beacon Theater shows in New York on
Speaker 1: September twenty seven. Theaters are reporting near sellouts well in advance,
Speaker 1: with resale prices spiking and his team pushing registration reminders
Speaker 1: all week. The buzz around these shows is fueled by
Speaker 1: his recent surge and popularity. The Hollywood Reporter notes that
Speaker 1: this past weekend has now anchored itself in the podcast
Speaker 1: top ten, marking a shift as conversational, comic driven formats
Speaker 1: dominate the streaming charts. On the business side, theo Von's
Speaker 1: merchandising game is ascendant, with new apparel drops promoted on
Speaker 1: his podcasts and socials, and he continues his lucrative sponsorship
Speaker 1: partnerships with brands like Acorns, Shopify, Celsius, and draft Gings.
Speaker 1: His integration of these sponsors into his comedic style has
Speaker 1: become a model for other creators, and industry insiders are
Speaker 1: touting his marketing instincts. Social media is ablaze with clips
Speaker 1: from both his Trump interview and recent tour promos, plus
Speaker 1: collaborations with his long list of previous guests ranging from
Speaker 1: celebrities to journalists. Speculation swirls still unconfirmed about a possible
Speaker 1: distribution deal for a forthcoming comedy special, as fans point
Speaker 1: to cryptic posts from those connected to Netflix, but no
Speaker 1: official statement has been released. Longer term, perhaps most significant
Speaker 1: is Theo's moving to film, with The Hollywood Reporter announcing
Speaker 1: he will star alongside David Spade in the buddy comedy
Speaker 1: bus Boys, which begins filming in early twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: This marks his most prominent scripted project yet and could
Speaker 1: be a defining next step if it lands with audiences.
Speaker 1: All eyes are on THEO, a comic at the center
Speaker 1: of podcasting, touring viral moments, and now potentially Hollywood itself.
