Reggie Watts: Festivals Remove Comedian, ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ Drops Theme Song
Comedy Bang! Bang! has quietly removed its Reggie Watts -created theme song as upcoming music festivals have removed Watts' name from their lineups following Rolling Stone' s report on the comedian-musician's "reckless" behavior in the wake of his ex-girlfriend's death .
Fans of the popular comedy podcast were greeted with a generic British woman's voice stating the episode number today instead of Watts' improvisational beatboxing riff that served as the show's intro since 2011.
The show did not acknowledge the replacement, nor has it directly commented on the recent accusations against Watts, a longtime friend of the show who starred in the TV version of the podcast from 2012 to 2016. (A representative for Comedy Bang! Bang! and its host, Scott Aukerman, did not immediately reply to Rolling Stone' s request for comment.)
