Andrew Schulz in shorts? ESPYs with Marcello Hernandez. Blue Collar Comics on ‘Woke’ Culture. Tim Heidecker’s Fake Infowars
The ESPYs air tonight on ABC hosted by comedian Marcello Hernandez with performances by Slick Rick, Ghostface Killah, and De La Soul, and contrasts audience reactions to last year’s Shane Gillis. Larry the Cable Guy tells Us Weekly he ignores “woke” backlash, argues audiences can simply skip acts they dislike, and cites Gillis getting more popular after being fired from SNL; the host adds “Atire” season three hits Netflix August 13, 2026. Jeff Foxworthy tells Fox Digital Hollywood misunderstands much of America, credits the Blue Collar Tour’s appeal, and recalls programming SiriusXM’s Blue Collar channel. Tim Heidecker discusses his decade-long Alex Jones impersonation and a new Infowars continuity where Jones “popped like a balloon.” The episode includes a Louis C.K. story about giving Jerry Seinfeld a “cow says July 3rd” tag, criticizes Andrew Schulz, previews Just for Laughs Montreal lineup highlights, and notes a $27M Lion King defamation suit against a comedian was voluntarily dismissed. 00:16 ESPY Host Preview 00:52 Blue Collar Woke Talk 02:02 Foxworthy on Audiences 04:39 Heidecker Spoofs Alex Jones 08:17 Louis C.K.
