Comedian Tries Out Herschel Walker's Speech About Vampires At Comedy Club—And It Slays

'The Daily Show' correspondent Roy Wood Jr. used the Georgia Senate candidate's rambling speech verbatim at a recent comedy show.

Daily Show correspondent Roy Jr. had a crowd at a comedy club bursting with laughter after he reused an utterly strange speech Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker gave in which Walker considered the merits of vampires and werewolves as part of his act.

Walker made headlines this week after he rehashed the plot of a film he referred to as “Fright Night, Freak Night, or some type of night" and told his supporters which horrific creature from folklore he would rather be.


Walker said:

“I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: a werewolf can kill a vampire."
"Did you know that? I never knew that."
“So, I don’t want to be a vampire any more. I want to be a werewolf.”

The film Walker referred to was indeed 1985's Fright Night, a supernatural horror film starring William Ragsdale and Chris Sarandon about a teenager who discovers that his next door neighbor is a vampire. A sequel followed in 1988 and a remake that came out in 2011 starred Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell.

You can hear what Walker said in the video below.

Walker's speech clearly inspired Wood, who said that he’d “pay $25 and two drink minimum” to watch an hour of Walker’s material at a comedy club.

So Wood did just that—only he was the one performing the material.

He uploaded a video of himself reciting Walker's speech verbatim and receiving applause from an enthusiastic crowd and quipped that Walker "has a future in comedy."

And people loved every minute of it.


Walker is known for making head-scratching remarks and has made headlines numerous times for absurdities he's uttered on the campaign trail.

Earlier this month, Walker was widely mocked after he claimed that his resumé beats former Democratic President Barack Obama's "any time of the day." His remarks were skewered by people who noted that he is a former pro football player with no political experience and Obama is the ex-President of the United States as well as a celebrated author and speaker.

The "vampires vs. werewolves" comment Walker made isn't even the first oddball remark he''s made this week.

Walker was just criticized after he claimed the future of the auto industry is rooted in "gas-guzzling cars" that have "good emissions," remarks that contradict the realities of climate change and brought to mind incoherent remarks he made over the summer about air pollution migrating to China.

Sylvester Stallone's Wife Ripped For Her Bizarre Comments About Trans Kids In Hollywood

Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, sat down with Stephen Miller's wife, Katie, for an appearance on an episode of the conservative, right-wing The Katie Miller Podcast.

Flavin, who married Stallone in 1997, gave her unqualified opinion about why some celebrities have transgender children. Despite having no experience or training in psychology or medicine, the former model—who began her relationship with Stallone when she was 19 and the action star was in his 40s—opined that celebrity parents’ children are transgender because of a lack of “structure” in their lives.

The couple are Puerto Ricans—born U.S. citizens—but that wasn't enough for the unidentified woman, who told them they should "go back there" and insisted they were Mexican while continuing to push back even after a restaurant employee moved to kick her out.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged For Laughably Juvenile Text Reply To Journalist's Question

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized after she shared a text exchange she'd had with Huffington Post reporter S.V. Dáte in which she gave a laughably juvenile response to his question about who chose Budapest for President Donald Trump's now-canceled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced last week that he and Putin planned to meet in Budapest within two weeks to discuss the war in Ukraine. A preparatory meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had been scheduled for this week, but the White House said the two instead spoke by phone and that an in-person meeting was no longer “necessary.”

Sean Hannity Asked George Santos If He'll Pay Back Money He Stole—And His Answer Says It All

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos didn't surprise a soul after he gave Fox News personality Sean Hannity a waffling answer when asked if he'll still pay back the hundreds of thousands of dollars he stole from victims of his financial schemes.

Santos' short-lived political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief. He received a seven-year sentence for crimes that the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York argued “made a mockery” of the electoral process.
