Promo details
'We don't have blackmail. We have content'
In the promo, Spacey, as Underwood, is quick to blackmail Dillon with his DoorDash orders.
Humored, Dillon responds, "These photos you gave me. I've posted them all. I'm on the internet. We don't have blackmail. We have content."
Spacey then delivers a scathing remark, "There is no limit to your duplicity, to your pandering, to your shameless and desperate desire to cling to relevance," before admitting Dillon's grit and endorsing his special.

This marks Spacey's promotional appearance after he was dismissed from House of Cards following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Despite the controversy, Spacey's portrayal of Underwood remains memorable.

Controversy
What led to Spacey's exit from 'House of Cards'?
Spacey was fired from House of Cards during the production of the sixth season, following allegations of sexual misconduct by Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp.
After his firing, Spacey was ordered to pay $1 million to the show's producers.
He was found not liable in the sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by Rapp in 2022. The next year, he was found not guilty of sex crimes in a UK trial.
Dillon's comedy special, I'm Your Mother, is currently streaming on Netflix.
