Comedian Guy Montgomery is heading back on the road.
With the filming of the next season of ‘Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee’ “in the can”, Montgomery is now preparing for his upcoming tour: ‘50,000,000 Guy Fans Can't be Wrong’.
He told Tim Dower that he’s now getting the new show, the new jokes on the road to stress test them in front of smaller audiences.
“To make sure they’re funny when I perform in front of what will hopefully be bigger audiences.”
Montgomery said that his general rule of thumb when testing new material is that if he tries the same joke ten times and it continues to fall flat, it’s probably time to put it to bed.
“That is sort of one of the fascinating things about doing stand-up,” he told Dower.
“You could have a joke, you could perform the same joke, you know, in three different places and get three entirely different responses.”
“You kind of feel like you’re losing your mind.”
The name of his upcoming tour is a reference to Elvis’ ‘50 Million Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong,’ which Montgomery finds hilarious.
“It’s such a funny turn of phrase, like, any number of people can’t be wrong... it’s wrong immediately.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
