This Week's Pulse

Tony Hinchcliffe became the center of a firestorm following his performance at The Roast of Kevin Hart on May 10, where his jokes targeting George Floyd drew intense backlash. On The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy noted, "Tony Hinchcliffe. It seems like he has a history of doing racist jokes, correct?" Jess Hilarious added that the family of the deceased was "baffled and disgusted by Tony."

The criticism was not limited to the content of his set, as Chelsea Handler used her own roast time to dismantle him. On Pivot, Kara Swisher celebrated the exchange, stating, "Tony is what happens when women don't have safe access to abortion care," and argued that Tony Hinchcliffe looked "so uncomfortable."

Conversely, the hosts of Flagrant defended his comedic performance. Mark Gagnon insisted that "all the comics did great. Tony killed," while AlexxMedia praised his sharp delivery, specifically his line about Chelsea Handler "aging like a vegetable in Lizzo's fridge."

Despite the mounting public pressure regarding the George Floyd controversy, Tony Hinchcliffe continues to project business as usual on his own platform, Kill Tony. The comedian remains focused on his high-energy live production, ignoring the calls for contrition that currently dominate the broader cultural discourse.
