Right-wing comedian who called Puerto Rico 'garbage' at Trump rally lands Netflix special

The right-wing comedian who drew international outrage for his racist remarks at a campaign rally for President Donald Trump last year inked a new deal with Netflix, which ordered three of Tony Hinchcliffe’s “Kill Tony” stand-up specials, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Hinchcliffe has performed a stand-up special for the streaming platform in the past and has also played a part in its comedy roasts, including performing a set last year for a roast of Tom Brady, which took off online. But he is perhaps more widely known in political circles for his remarks at an October Trump rally at Madison Square Garden that Puerto Rico was an “island of garbage.”

While the Trump campaign spent the aftermath of the comment distancing itself from the comedian, the episode hasn't stopped his “Kill Tony” podcast from frequently topping the comedy charts, The Hollywood Reporter noted. The new deal expanding his relationship with Netflix will also include an improvised interview show, which he said was “both exciting and frightening.”

“It’s the most spontaneous and improvised show that is out there and the creative freedom given to us by Netflix to keep the show in its pure form is a comedian’s dream and we can’t wait to Netflix and Kill,” Hinchcliffe said in a statement obtained by the Hollywood Reporter.

The first comedy special is set to be filmed at The Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, and drop April 7 on Netflix.

“Myself and our entire crew of Austin comedians, peers, and upcomers are excited for the opportunity to share our chaotic, insane show with a whole new chunk of the globe,” Hinchcliffe continued in his statement. “It all started in a room at The Comedy Store with 12 audience members and barely anyone watching in 2013, after world tours and 700+ Monday releases on YouTube it seems the persistence has paid off and now to think that I can pull a name out of a bucket and that person will be performing standup and an improvised interview on the largest streaming service in the world is both exciting and frightening.”
