Was Zac Townsend on Kill Tony? What happened on his Kill Tony set?

Yes, Zac Townsend was a bucket pull on Kill Tony #754, recorded January 26, 2026, and released February 2, 2026, with Bert Kreischer and Rick Ingraham as guests, per the show’s episode page. In his minute he said he was 35 and compared guns to kids: both are dangerous, and people keep offering to let him hold them, per a transcript of the episode. In the interview he said he lives in Nashville, is originally from Connecticut, started comedy in Tampa, has done stand-up for eight years and makes his living from stand-up and sketch comedy, and that he was opening for Kreischer at the Moody Theater that Thursday. From the panel came “I think you’re hysterical. I think you’re so talented.” He also mentioned that his group had made a sketch about Kill Tony; Paid Vacation’s Kill Tony: The Video Game has about 216,000 views, and he was told they should make the video game too. Before he left the stage he was invited back for the next time the show plays Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. A clip of the set, “Funniest Guns & Kids Comparison”, circulates on fan channels.

The notes do not list bucket pulls, so we cannot rule out a later set, but #754 is the only Kill Tony appearance we could confirm.
