Kelly introduces Rob Finnerty by playing the viral Newsmax clip that put him on her radar: a pointed, comedic rant about news anchors who shapeshift into exaggerated Spanish accents when reading Hispanic names — including 'Kilmar Abrego Garcia' — but never do the same for Chinese, Japanese, or Irish names. Finnerty, who once did theater alongside hockey, deploys a spot-on Irish accent to prove the point and reveals his producer had to whisper in his ear not to demonstrate a Chinese accent live. Kelly heartily agrees, connecting the practice to the broader media pandering culture she had been discussing with Taibbi regarding Craig Melvin's trans-sports trigger warning. The two then continue into Kelly O'Donnell's NBC commentary framing the Supreme Court's transgender sports ruling as Trump 'boiling it down to bumper sticker language,' which both find deeply disingenuous.
Rob Finnerty went viral for calling out news anchors who suddenly shapeshift into exaggerated Spanish accents when reading Hispanic names on air — but not for Chinese, Irish, or any other ethnicity. His producer had to talk him out of doing a Chinese accent demonstration live on air. He makes a compelling case that it's pure, performative pandering.

Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
