Who's Headlining Anyway? Presented by The Comedy Zone

The guys are back on the yellow couch and coming in soft. Do you have a lunchtime TV show or movie? Recap has an answer. The guys rarely discuss the big orange man but when he invokes Nikki's butt, they have to comment. On a more serious note, it is cringy on so many levels. They cover several of them and Nikki's involvement. Misogyny again? The conversation turns to Ethan Klein and his ironic downfall. Karma. 

The second segment comes in hot with the boss. They discuss the ups and downs of the Bruce Springsteen album Born t...

The gang is back on the yellow couch with lots to discuss. Jonathan has started a new venture @girly.songs on Insta posting his own music, including covers of (you guessed it) girly songs. He's talented. Be sure to check it out. They get into travel and who speaks multiple languages. Have movies changed and become infested with propaganda? Eminem is featured on Kid Rock's new gospel album and there are so many questions. Fear mongering is becoming a problem. Like so much so the talk about Red Dawn, the original of course. 

The second segment heavily d...

The gang is back at it on the yellow couch and they have lots to discuss. They start with praise for Jason opening for Whitney Cummings at the Knight Theater this weekend. Big opportunity and the experience was outstanding. Whitney was very incredibly cool and more. She gave Jason some specific praise, which we also want to hear. Jordan also had a big show at The Comedy Club at Duckworth's. And Jonathan had a week of theater shows on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour. There were a lot of great moments and he was really tired a lot of...

The team is back on the yellow couch...and fired up! The Comedy Zone now is hosting shows on Mondays and Tuesdays for a variety of local comedy shows, including standup, improv, showcases, and new concepts. The first week was The Comedy Zone Allstars and it was exceptional. October 12th will host the Who's Headlining Anyway tour!

The conversation shifts to a poignant observation that comedians aren't coveting the comedy club roles as much as they did in the past. The influx of pop-up shows, brewery showcases, and established traveling shows have changed the comedy landscape. Whether...

The team is back on the yellow couch...kinda. Jason wasn't able to make the first segment because he works for a living. He made me write that here. Jordan and Jonathan has a little love fest about Rosalia, Kanye, and Ed Sheeran. Well, they drag Ed Sheeran pretty hard and because he is struggling right now on account of poor decision making and (checks notes) cowardice. I mean, his band (no superstars, mind you) quit because of his failure in this situation. They give Macklemore a lot of credit for his consistent support of Palestine, even though his...

The gang is back together on the yellow couch, with a furry special guest Donut, and they did not hold back this week. Jordan has returned unharmed from Australia and yet another marathon. What a beast. He describes the challenges of the experience like the fact that it's running more than 26 miles. He describes the differences between the US and Australia and it's not what you think. What is your irrational fears? Don't say sharks because that's not irrational. Be careful swimming with stingrays. Jordan took surfing lessons with sharks. 

There is an update on the bachelor p...

The guys are back in the living room on the yellow couch! And with a special guest! They are joined by the extremely talented, brilliant, and delightful, Hillary Staple @hkstaple. She is an improvisor, sketch writer/performer, playwright, avid reader, and dog mom. Jordan is alive (we think) in Australia running a marathon, which is a wild statement. They lean into the difference between safety between men and women in the world and in comedy. 

Soon they talk about the question of the week. How often do YOU wash your hands after using the restroom because so m...

The guys are back in the living room on the yellow couch! They jump right into some BIG news. A deal was made that when the Who's Headlining Anyway? YouTube page earned 100 subscribers, Jonathan would again remove his shoes exposing his black socked feet. He did not disappoint. Go check it out. 

Questions of the week. 1. How often do you participate in Instagram Polls in Stories? Yes or no?2. Do you sit with your back to the Door? Are you crazy, no. Why are you asking? Yes. Depends on the situation.

The guys dig into that...

The guys are recommitted to publishing an episode every week. You deserve consistency. The first segment is full. Thanks to the very cool and funny Matt Hammy. Also, there aren't any conspiracy theories. The sock-gate is real. Polls! We have some fun questions and polls that we would love to get your thoughts on. Send us a DM or comment on YouTube and we WILL comment on your answer. Let's get into it! Do YOU moisturize? What are some of the ins and outs of it? Do you take into consideration the heat and/or humidity?  The guys revisit th...

The guys are back in the living with a very special guest! Jason Allen King, Jordan Centry, and Jonathan Williams have the infinitely talented Skylar Schock on the podcast. You know her as the Co-Founder/Co-Host of the Group Chat Girlies, a live comedy and talk show literally sweeping the nation. She is also a seasoned actor, producer, writer, and standup comedian. This episode starts with some old favorite conversations about Lot Lizards and feminism with a much needed woman's perspective. There is some new information on the sock-ga. You know I mean saga about socks. They won't be sh...

Back in the living room! Jason Allen King, Jordan Centry, and Jonathan Williams are keeping things spicy this week. Jordan had a bachelor party weekend in Asheville and things got interesting. The conversation dips into hickeys, debauchery, secrets, bad decisions, compromise, relationship challenges, infidelity, and more. Jordan plays his hand perfectly. How do you get rid of a hickey? Makeup? The guys move the conversation into how one comes clean on making mistakes in relationships if at all. 

There are car companies with control over your car if you miss payments. Well, maybe. They revisit GTA not p...

The guys are back in the living room! Jason Allen King, Jordan Centry, and Jonathan Williams cover some ground. If they were a boy band, they are not, but if they were Jonathan would definitely not be Harry Styles. The #socks are coming off again but after the break. They discuss and appreciate their new followers.
Jordan spent the week in NYC for a couple shows and three sold out Jay-Z shows at Yankee Stadium. They discuss the insane VIP experience, merch, and Jay-Z's history. Go to concerts. The second segment gets sockless and get in the weeds w...

All three hosts are officially back in the living room! This week, Jason Allen King, Jordan Centry, and Jonathan Williams get back into the swing of things. First, they embrace some specific fans and Jonathan removes his shoes displaying a fine pair of black socks. There's more to the story than you think. And in the second segment the guys are joined by special guest standup comedian, improvisor, co-founder/co-star of Group Chat Girlies, juggler, and philanthropist, Carol Tyner! Don't miss the fiery conversation. 

Follow the Crew: • Jonathan Williams: @mrwilliamscomedy • Jordan Century: @jordancentry • Jason Allen King: @jasonallenking  •  Carol Tyner...

All three hosts are officially back in the studio! This week, Jason Allen King joins Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams to break down viral moments, local comedy scene drama, and the deepest theological questions the internet has to offer. The guys kick off the episode trying to hold Jonathan to his promise of taking his shoes off on camera for a very specific listener. From there, they dive into a recent article published by The Charlotte Observer highlighting five prominent figures in the local Charlotte comedy scene. The guys discuss the inevitable fallout, addressing the "indie scene" comics who...

We are back inside the home studio with Jason Allen King and Jordan Centry (and completely missing Jonathan Williams, who is currently surviving a budget-conscious, post-parade trip to New York City).

We’re keeping it entirely authentic to the green room vibe—refusing to be purely reactionary, but absolutely ready to pull back the curtain on our favorite icons making major corporate compromises. 

Episode Timestamps: • [00:00:11] – The Key Code Robbery: Jordan is recording live from Jason's house and realizing they could have looted the place 15 times over by now. • [00:01:25] – The Target Boycott & Jay-Z's 30th Anniversary: Why Jay-Z's exclu...

Who’s Headlining Anyway presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy) broke in and did the podcast without Jason Allen King. So, this might not be the best episode to listen to. Tune in next week when Jason is back.

Also, court is pending. Jordan saw someone on the way to the recording hitting the pipe and then saw people playing frisbee.

Charlotte is multitudes but it is not New York. The guys discuss the New York Knicks. And Trump’s attendance. Could this loss be his fault on some l...

Who's Headlining Anyway? presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King discuss technological problems, being a foodie (that's code), drinking, professionalism, Democrats showing signs of life, UFC at the White House, Don't Tell Comedy, one of the best written jokes, ICE detention center hunger strike, Legion Brewing in Charlotte with a monumental gaff and a disastrous PR attempt to clean it up, and Jason working with a new sketch group performing in Davidson on Tuesday Night Live.

Welcome to the first episode of the newly rebranded Who’s Headlining Anyway? Podcast (formerly Zoning Out). We’re leaning into the chaos tonight with high-energy roasts of the Drake triple-album drop, the "Alpha Male" podcasting grift, and some deep (but hilarious) cuts into the state of comedy today.  Episode Timestamps: • [00:11] – The Rebrand: Why we changed from Zoning Out to Who’s Headlining Anyway? • [03:52] – The Beatles conspiracy and why "Segregation Humor" is a bad look. • [08:15] – Deep Dive: How did we actually find out the Earth was round? • [11:48] – Drake’s Iceman Drop: We break down the 43-track chaos and the Michael Jackson glove con...

The Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King. Jordan couldn't be here because he thinks he's better than Jason and Jonathan. Jason explains the funniest thing he does and even Jonathan agrees, which is saying something. They discuss clever, poignant sayings in the world and in the entertainment industry. Is saying rip inherently disrespectful. There is a new name for the next generation after GenZ. It's curious how the country likes to brand everything giving names to put things in a box, especially future generations. They break down...

In this episode, Jordan & Jonathan are matching and lean into affirmations. They discuss The Boys and satire.

The conversation quickly moves to the curious case of 4/20 and the number of historical events that have taken place on that date. What is the origin of four twenty?

Most importantly the building of the Data Center in East Charlotte has been put on hold due to public outcry proving again that strength in numbers and your voice matters. Data Centers are bad news for everyone and the environment.

Oh and they discussed funny things like...

In this episode, the collective is back together. It's been a minute.

They get into the value (or lack of) of good video when trying to get booked and what they/some actually use. The importance of finding your audience/your crowd.

The guys dig into Coachella. They all commit to being a fan of Justin Bieber but also find his performance with a laptop, at best, curious.

Cancel culture pops up again.

The guys have a beef with @AmyPoehler who blatantly and without remorse stole an idea of from this...

In this episode, Jason and Jonathon discuss the "selfish" absence of Jordan and their most recent performance at the Cain Center for the Arts. The economy of living off of standup is a puzzle that they have to figure out. Jason speaks about his trip to a few cities in Spain and Jonathan's lack of travel experience. After playfully roasting the fire department, Jonathan praises his experience at The Comedy Catch in Chattanooga, TN and the charming city. The guys soon dive into a discussion about movies, book adaptations, and storytelling. They claw through Jason's reoccurring anger at No...

In this episode, we get into the newest (and dumbest) YouTube feature: the Hype button… which quickly turns into a full-on roast of NFTs, fake value, and why anyone who “knows a lot” about NFTs might actually be the problem. Then we somehow end up debating advocacy vs. self-interest, whether it “counts” to fight for a cause you’re personally impacted by (spoiler: we argue both sides), and how the internet loves to weaponize “good intentions” like it’s a sport. And to close it out, we bring you a clip from our live Three’s Comedy Tour show at the Cain Center f...

Zoning Out Podcast (Presented by The Comedy Zone) is back — and this one starts with coffee instead of rum & coke, then immediately spirals into Valentine’s Day chaos, venue horror stories, and the worst dates of all time. Jordan breaks down how his Valentine’s Day brunch show got canceled because the venue “forgot” to reserve the space (with tickets already moving), and the crew debates the unwritten rules of Valentine’s Day: when to keep it chill, when to break up, and why Denny’s might be the most honest brand in America.

Then we get into a full-on...

This week it’s the least annoying episode in a long time because it’s just Jordan Centry + Jason Allen King (Jonathan is… “on the lamb” ).

We recap the Super Bowl (the game was mid, let’s be real) but the halftime show was the main event: Bad Bunny delivered the first all-Spanish Super Bowl performance with huge production, cultural references, and a message of unity — and of course it sent certain people into a meltdown.

We talk representation, why “woke” has become a meaningless complaint, and how you can’t celebrate “America” while acting like Puerto Rico isn’t pa...

Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King kick it off with friendly fit-check chaos (including an Ozempic roast that gets out of hand), then dive into two wild weeks of “what is happening in the world?” energy: unexpected snow/ice stories, teen party memories, and a very questionable “files” conversation that turns into jokes about rich people being way too bold in emails.

From there, the episode swerves into music + pop culture: Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy run, the Drake discourse, Kanye’s apology era (including where he chose...

This one goes everywhere. We kick things off on MLK Day talking legacy, performative “holiday energy,” and why certain political commentators always find a way to make everything worse.

From there, we get into comments about MLK, the internet’s selective outrage machine, and why it feels like corporations (and the NFL) do PR calculus instead of having a conscience.

Then we spiral (in the best way) into: the files, who would actually hurt to see on the list, whether the conspiracies are getting harder to dismiss, and why “when they start hiding it” is when every...

The gang’s back together — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King — with rum, coke (a lot of coke), and big 2026 energy.

We open with an important announcement: Three’s Comedy Tour hits the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC on March 10. If you’re in Charlotte, Huntersville, Mooresville, or anywhere nearby, grab tickets now at cainarts.org. 

Then we get into awards season chaos, including the indie horror film “Good Boy” — shot from a dog’s perspective — and the question nobody expected to debate: Can a dog be a great actor? (And does this open the...

Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026!

Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate of all… How did NOBODY important die?!

We also get into: • Why Season 4 might’ve been the peak • How the show shifted from creepy mystery to full superhero action • Vecna getting a little too much screen ti...

The boys are back for a Hawaii-style year-end recap episode of Zoning Out — recorded not in paradise, but in Jason’s living room.

We dive deep into Spotify Wrapped shame, emotional running breakthroughs, and ask: Do New Year’s goals even matter?  

In This Episode:

• The team shares their #1 most-played songs of 2025 ( Casey Musgraves, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead – oh my)

• Jordan turns Kendrick lyrics into a training mantra • Jonathan explains how spite and depression led to becoming a distance runner

• Jason admits to leveling up his life — by reading audiobooks

• A massive win...

The Zoning Out crew dives into everything from Christian university commercials to headlining in small towns vs. chasing dreams in NYC, plus a heated debate about whether the Three Little Pigs survived (spoiler: Jason was right).  

In This Episode: Jordan grills Jason for skipping family Christmas to work a cruise ship gig • Is Grand Canyon University even near the Grand Canyon? • The wild world of 55+ retirement communities (spoiler: they’re having sex) • Jason confesses his dream scandal if a publicist could cover it up • Jordan plans to blow up a Confederate flag • Jonathan wrestles with jealousy over bookings • The Big C...

This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams break in to Jason Allen King's house to record while he has more important things to do. 

In This Episode: The guys discuss Black Friday, Cyber Monday and starting Stranger Things in the middle.  

Plus: Job changes for better or worse. And we're back to Love's gas stations! Christmas might not be Christian? Fabulous. Pause. Maintaining a comedy career is always challenging. There are highs and lows. Laughing Skull Lounge in Atlanta is always great.

This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry, Jason Allen King, and Jonathan Williams dive into chaos with everything from fake YouTube apology videos to defending their ICE comments.  

In This Episode: YouTube apology culture and monetizing fake sincerity, ICE backlash from last week’s episode & responding to angry commenters. Is criticizing ICE a crime? (Spoiler: no.)

Ariana Grande’s appearance sparks debate – is it concern, body shaming or both?

Do old people still make out? A surprisingly deep dive into intimacy and aging.

Comedy Club drama: rowdy crowds, Champagne Rooms, and “Rachel”. <...

In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, Jonathan and Jason tackle the wildly aggressive and cruel ICE raids happening in Charlotte leaving no question where their loyalty lies - with their community and immigrants. Jordan was busy having dinner.

As of this post, Jonathan and Jason have not received any leftovers.

Also in this episode:

Jonathan has an unlikely crush.

Decades of trauma.

In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, the guys dive headfirst into the theory that Oprah Winfrey may have popularized fatphobia — and back it up with receipts.

From the infamous "Fat War" between Raleigh & Durham to Oprah’s decades-long Weight Watchers partnership, we unpack how one of America’s most beloved figures may have shaped toxic body norms.  

Also in this episode:  Should billionaires even exist?  Does taking Ozempic make Oprah the villain?  Remember when ODB made fantasy a classic (and chaos)?  Would you give up your favorite artist’s music if it meant they never did anything...

This week on Zoning Out, we open with laughs and life updates — from Instagram milestones to failed juggling goals. We also explore the massive AWS outage that briefly broke the internet and debate whether the world needs an “offline holiday.”

Later, we get personal about sacrifices for stand-up comedy, missing once-in-a-lifetime concerts for club gigs, and drawing the line between passion and overwork.

We close the episode reflecting on the passing of R&B icon D’Angelo, the legend behind Voodoo and Brown Sugar — and whether genius justifies being impossible to work with. 

 Plus:  The w...

In this episode of Zoning Out, Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King break down a wild week of headlines, hypocrisy, and hilarity—from fake posters and real politics to comedy drama and Maury hypotheticals.  

Topics We Cover: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show and the MAGA outrage over a Puerto Rican (and Christian) American artist Turning Point USA’s parody halftime show and why they’re unknowingly copying Black culture The viral Kid Rock & “Measles” halftime lineup hoax—and the people who actually believed it Breaking down Turning Point’s official genre poll (yes, they listed “Anyth...

This week’s Zoning Out is PACKED.

Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, Jason Allen King, and special guest Hillary Staple dive deep into pop culture chaos, ethical dilemmas, and comedy community drama—with plenty of laughs in between. Topics we cover: Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album — our honest review, spicy lyrics (“his love was the key…”), and why Taylor’s villain era might be her boldest yet.

The “Black Phase” theory — why pop stars like Miley and Ariana get less pushback, and how Taylor’s image shift is playing differently.

We’re back! Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King return with another chaotic, hilarious episode of Zoning Out presented by the Comedy Zone.

This week we cover: Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show — why MAGA fans are furious, why the NFL wants to go international, and why the name “Bad Bunny” still cracks us up.

AI Actress Tilly Norwood — should agents really be signing artificial performers? What does this mean for real actors, authenticity, and the future of comedy?
