Paul McCartney Crashes Comedian's Set After Both 'Got High' Backstage
McCartney is still getting high with a little help from his friends.
Paul McCartney crashed Black-ish star Deon Cole’s stand-up set at the Hollywood Improv on Sept. 17 after both reportedly “got high” backstage.
"I got high with my friend tonight, and we had a good time,” Cole told the crowd before telling them to “please give it up for my friend, Paul McCartney." As the surprised audience applauded the legendary musician’s arrival, McCartney leaned in and whispered a few words in Cole’s ear.
"I had to smoke, and that's why this is happening," Cole told the crowd. “See, you never know,” the comedian said of the show’s unpredictable roster. "And y'all motherf---ers did not give no love to me at all tonight,” he joked.
Far from a passive audience member, McCartney came armed with notes. “I’ve just enjoyed seeing you work through this material,” he told Cole. “And you’re right, some of it bombed,” he joked as the audience laughed. “But you got the gems in there, man, that’s great,” he added.
McCartney then offered some consolation, explaining even he had weathered disastrous performances. “In the beginning, when [The Beatles] started out, guys used to throw pennies at us,” he said. “Took a while to know what we were doing.”
