Kill Tony brought me here.

Mr Van Kirk was a legendary guest and brought me here too.

[@rhysera]

[@jwalters15216]

[@CarMechaNick]

Here from Kill Tony 😅

[@kris4real20]

We're here! Great job on Kill Tony. 🤠

[@TheDdog04]

Here from Kill Tony. I thought he was a great guest on the show, made me laugh alot so I had to come check out his special. It was a great show!! I give it 5 stars!

[@emmapreston1027]

Also here from Kill Tony!!! He had me laughing so hard!

[@AkaDeano]

Came after finishing the Kill Tony episode, great guest spot! Excited for this special now!

[@Dan-Rather]

If he used any of this, as a minute of his own on Kill Tony, he would have gotten a small joke book. ❤

[@gb747gb]

Down to the iron Patriot army 😡👎

[@vejay369]

If it were abortion, racial stereotypes, pedo related then he would have gotten a big one

[@rooskadoodle5952]

more people need to know this man. keeping me smiling and laughing the whole time

[@greenman9123]

Wow you have horrible taste, you hear me boy?

[@alexmshirley]

Love seeing a Pen Pal absolutely crush a special like this. Silliness, sincerity, and a healthy sprinkling of vulgarity. Well done, DVK!

[@BoraMustafa]

Really inspiring to see a comedian with morals. Keep it up!

[@SteezLikeButta]

Immediately came here after watching you on Kill Tony. You’re hilarious brother!

[@IHACKER316]

Came here from Kill Tony , I LOVE how you went oldschool and gave the Comics advice , you are a great guy. And I stayed for the comedy , awesome special

[@JustBreeHLC]

Felt!!!! I absolutely adored that too! Such an incredible guest and stand up guy all around! ✨🔥

[@JustBreeHLC]

10/10 loved this from start to finish!!! Thank you! Needed this! 😂🫶🏼✨🤩

[@clevermissfox]

Nightpants Nation representing! DVK is the savior of comedy! Had sicklers back (literally) last year , saved Normand’s ass after his electric car ran out of juice, and tons of other stories we will never know. What an awesome dude through and through. Great special.

[@Axemang]

Came here from Kill Tony cause you were hilarious. You gained a new fan!

[@mannequinskywalker]

That Boston parking bit is too real!! 😂

[@junkgyre5301]

thanks for the laughs after a hard day

[@randysklar382]

Love this special so much. DVK is at his absolute best here, a great story teller with incredible insights into the midwestern mind. He’s smart comedy about dumb things and people that everyone can enjoy!!

[@travelsahead]

How is this smart? It's basic and not funny. He won't have a future in comedy.

[@jasontownsend8055]

5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 FTCF. Great special keep up the Good work!!!!!

[@chadb38]

Gary is on the grill!!

[@caseybskinner]

“She calls me peg because it’s ok to like things” 😂😂😂😂

[@tjecky818]

How have I never heard of this guy!? He was fantastic! Loved this!

[@briandossanto10ds]

Last time he was on kill Tony he walked out afraid of being cancelled. Not my kind of comic

[@joaquin395]

Not being a dork but I’ve never heard of this guy- but after kill Tony I watched the whole special and this hour is good!

[@AdventureRich]

Great set! Looking forward to more 🙌🏼

[@THExNIGHTMANxCOMETH]

Nicest guest I’ve ever seen on KT. Way cool guy helping out newer comics!! Super sincere, so I had to come check this out and glad I did!! Another great comic I get to watch!

[@nannerz1994]

Dvk is excellent. Found him on dumb people town. He bought me two wines cuz I was the only one to sit in the front row at his show. Met him after he was such a sweetheart, Saw him a couple more times. He really captures the Midwest well. Congrats on this special! He nailed it

[@wdtcctr100]

Love the Boston section. As someone from Massachusetts who actively avoids the city, it was great hearing accuracy about it!

[@JD-dh7bk]

Excellent 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pocketstring9277]

a special in my hometown LFG!

[@CorySee]

Here from Kill Tony, and absolutely love it!

[@fullercorp]

So so great!! Both expertly funny and laced with compassion for the world. Which it doesn't deserve from him or Rosemary.

[@Aesgor]

KT performance was great. brought me here and happy I stayed

[@ConfusedBreakfast]

Can't wait to watch this!!

[@uresosweet]

Do it. Worth the houer plus (I misspelled hour).

[@paulthomson5199]

BOOOOORRRRRING

[@lawofassumptiongoddess]

"Just keep loving" thats my main take away from this genius special! Im glad i found this outstanding comedian! Keep up this amazing work

[@bobanonymous6814]

Laugh track on point

[@sweettea7779]

Too much confidence for whoever you are.

[@grimreaper3330]

Too little confidence for whoever you are

[@GA-xc9ub]

Looks great, color corrected and everything!

[@amiebarnett9374]

So good! I got a teaser at the Netflix is a Joke event he hosted, so glad I got to see the whole set! His delivery is so natural it's strangely calming to watch.

[@jtrush]

Killer set, Dan. Been with you from first DLM (Mark) then through years of DPT & PP, and it's great to see you so much in your own element as the guy who we "know" from those pods, but also flexing your writing and storytelling in your own personal way. Thanks for making this available on youtube! (I'm in Japan, where some specials are hard to access.)

[@Anderson99999]

For longer than I’d like to admit you had me thinking Doug benson knew Mark Wahlberg really well

[@steveille1428]

I was in middle school when "Cruisin" the janky dive bar on hwy 12 got bought and became "cruisin with a chubby" which was shortened very quickly after opening.

[@zacharysymons7389]

BOOOOOORIN

[@IDAHOJAKE]

My mom and step dad which had a sail boat. Loved Jimmy Buffett he had a sail boat all the boat people thought they were pirates. They would go to key west to see Jimmy Buffett. Everything you’re saying is stating to put pieces of the puzzle together. Makes sense now

[@sweetpeaproductions3493]

[@cjsanders5034]

Haha I literally just came from watching that and saw this. Good shit good shit 😂😂

[@Cshawjr]

Literally only reason I came here is to write that

[@xxCD7xx]

The feel good story at the end is special

[@MikeP2055]

The woman in the front row at 52:47 who hides her face during the part when Jerry opened up the random person's car door . . . she rules.

[@robertstangler9739]

Here from KT. Wonderful representation of WI, it was spot on. Great set.

[@cinnamonbeardstud]

Dan you're my favorite guy from old sklarbro country!

[@onceuponadisneyblog6513]

[@lucasthompson1650]

Kickass set, dude. I am yet another person who got here from Kill Tony... but I already knew who you were ;) I hope Rose loves the special!

[@jocelynmstanton]

You’re talking about the dells, I’m from door county. And the state park has a bay named after my relatives from Norway.

[@fibsniper786]

Yo you were great on KT - never heard of ya, but i'm a LISTENIN' BOY!!!! :-)

[@bradysticker]

I live in Conroe, TX and I can sadly confirm everything he says about Margaritaville is true

[@jerjersr]

.Absolutely agree with marcyb@8170…… plus: What???? #1: The best story teller in a long time #2: Please incorporate Jerry into your next comedy special. He’s a character to hold on to.

[@matthewvickaryous7888]

This world could more Grandma Rosemary lifestyle. Love this special!

[@sethie_shots]

Surprisingly a great KT guest. Better than the Segura/Rogan episode
