Who's Headlining Anyway? Presented by The Comedy Zone

All three hosts are officially back in the studio! This week, Jason Allen King joins Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams to break down viral moments, local comedy scene drama, and the deepest theological questions the internet has to offer. The guys kick off the episode trying to hold Jonathan to his promise of taking his shoes off on camera for a very specific listener. From there, they dive into...

We are back inside the home studio with Jason Allen King and Jordan Centry (and completely missing Jonathan Williams, who is currently surviving a budget-conscious, post-parade trip to New York City). We’re keeping it entirely authentic to the green room vibe—refusing to be purely reactionary, but absolutely ready to pull back the curtain on our favorite icons making major corporate compromises. ...

Who’s Headlining Anyway presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy) broke in and did the podcast without Jason Allen King. So, this might not be the best episode to listen to. Tune in next week when Jason is back. Also, court is pending. Jordan saw someone on the way to the recording hitting the pipe and then saw people playing frisbee. Charlotte...

Welcome to the first episode of the newly rebranded Who’s Headlining Anyway? Podcast (formerly Zoning Out). We’re leaning into the chaos tonight with high-energy roasts of the Drake triple-album drop, the "Alpha Male" podcasting grift, and some deep (but hilarious) cuts into the state of comedy today.  Episode Timestamps: • [00:11] – The Rebrand: Why we changed from Zoning Out to Who’s Headlining...

The Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King. Jordan couldn't be here because he thinks he's better than Jason and Jonathan. Jason explains the funniest thing he does and even Jonathan agrees, which is saying something. They discuss clever, poignant sayings in the world and in the entertainment industry. Is...

In this episode, Jordan & Jonathan are matching and lean into affirmations. They discuss The Boys and satire. The conversation quickly moves to the curious case of 4/20 and the number of historical events that have taken place on that date. What is the origin of four twenty? Most importantly the building of the Data Center in East Charlotte has been put on hold due to public outcry proving again t...

In this episode, the collective is back together. It's been a minute. They get into the value (or lack of) of good video when trying to get booked and what they/some actually use. The importance of finding your audience/your crowd. The guys dig into Coachella. They all commit to being a fan of Justin Bieber but also find his performance with a laptop, at best, curious. Cancel culture pops up again...

In this episode, Jason and Jonathon discuss the "selfish" absence of Jordan and their most recent performance at the Cain Center for the Arts. The economy of living off of standup is a puzzle that they have to figure out. Jason speaks about his trip to a few cities in Spain and Jonathan's lack of travel experience. After playfully roasting the fire department, Jonathan praises his experience at Th...

In this episode, we get into the newest (and dumbest) YouTube feature: the Hype button… which quickly turns into a full-on roast of NFTs, fake value, and why anyone who “knows a lot” about NFTs might actually be the problem. Then we somehow end up debating advocacy vs. self-interest, whether it “counts” to fight for a cause you’re personally impacted by (spoiler: we argue both sides), and how the...

Zoning Out Podcast (Presented by The Comedy Zone) is back — and this one starts with coffee instead of rum & coke, then immediately spirals into Valentine’s Day chaos, venue horror stories, and the worst dates of all time. Jordan breaks down how his Valentine’s Day brunch show got canceled because the venue “forgot” to reserve the space (with tickets already moving), and the crew debates the unwri...

This week it’s the least annoying episode in a long time because it’s just Jordan Centry + Jason Allen King (Jonathan is… “on the lamb” ). We recap the Super Bowl (the game was mid, let’s be real) but the halftime show was the main event: Bad Bunny delivered the first all-Spanish Super Bowl performance with huge production, cultural references, and a message of unity — and of course it sent certai...

Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King kick it off with friendly fit-check chaos (including an Ozempic roast that gets out of hand), then dive into two wild weeks of “what is happening in the world?” energy: unexpected snow/ice stories, teen party memories, and a very questionable “files” conversation tha...

This one goes everywhere. We kick things off on MLK Day talking legacy, performative “holiday energy,” and why certain political commentators always find a way to make everything worse. From there, we get into comments about MLK, the internet’s selective outrage machine, and why it feels like corporations (and the NFL) do PR calculus instead of having a conscience. Then we spiral (in the best way)...

The gang’s back together — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King — with rum, coke (a lot of coke), and big 2026 energy. We open with an important announcement: Three’s Comedy Tour hits the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC on March 10. If you’re in Charlotte, Huntersville, Mooresville, or anywhere nearby, grab tickets now at cainarts.org.  Then we get into awards season ch...

Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026! Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate...

The boys are back for a Hawaii-style year-end recap episode of Zoning Out — recorded not in paradise, but in Jason’s living room. We dive deep into Spotify Wrapped shame, emotional running breakthroughs, and ask: Do New Year’s goals even matter?   In This Episode: • The team shares their #1 most-played songs of 2025 ( Casey Musgraves, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead – oh my) • Jordan turns Kendrick lyri...

The Zoning Out crew dives into everything from Christian university commercials to headlining in small towns vs. chasing dreams in NYC, plus a heated debate about whether the Three Little Pigs survived (spoiler: Jason was right).   In This Episode: Jordan grills Jason for skipping family Christmas to work a cruise ship gig • Is Grand Canyon University even near the Grand Canyon? • The wild world o...

In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, the guys dive headfirst into the theory that Oprah Winfrey may have popularized fatphobia — and back it up with receipts. From the infamous "Fat War" between Raleigh & Durham to Oprah’s decades-long Weight Watchers partnership, we unpack how one of America’s most beloved figures may have shaped toxic body norms.   Also in this episode:  Should billionaires...

This week on Zoning Out, we open with laughs and life updates — from Instagram milestones to failed juggling goals. We also explore the massive AWS outage that briefly broke the internet and debate whether the world needs an “offline holiday.” Later, we get personal about sacrifices for stand-up comedy, missing once-in-a-lifetime concerts for club gigs, and drawing the line between passion and ove...
