Kevin Spacey has revived his House of Cards character, Frank Underwood, to help Tim Dillon promote his new Netflix comedy special.
In a promo for Dillon’s I’m Your Mother stand-up special, Spacey revived his dead character.
“You podcasters think you’ve inherited the kingdom,” Spacey as Underwood tells Dillon in the promo video.
Dillon replies, “Frank Underwood? I thought you were dead.”
“I’m as dead as John McCain,” Spacey adds.
“He is dead,” Dillon says.
“Excuse my ignorance, I meant Herman Cain,” Spacey says.
Spacey, as Underwood, then tries to blackmail Dillon using his DoorDash orders as leverage, with the comedian saying, “These photos you gave me. I’ve posted them all. I’m on the internet. We don’t have blackmail. We have content.”
“There is no limit to your duplicity, to your pandering, to your shameless and desperate desire to cling to relevance,” Spacey says. “You are… You are my kind of bastard. You have my endorsement, Mr. Dillon.”
Spacey asks where Dillon’s comedy special is on, and when the comedian tells him it’s Netflix, Space adds, “You foul, lonesome, evil little cockroach. But I love it.”
Spacey was fired from House of Cards shortly after Season 6 of the political drama following sexual misconduct allegations made against him by Star Trek Discovery actor Anthony Rapp. The actor was ordered to pay $1M to the show’s producers.
In 2022, Spacey was found not liable in the sexual misconduct lawsuit brought by Rapp, and in 2023, he was found not guilty of sex crimes in a UK trial.
Dillon’s comedy special, I’m Your Mother, is now streaming on Netflix.
