The controversial remark was delivered at a Tenacious D show in Sydney, Australia.
Kyle Gass — Jack Black's partner in their band Tenacious D — offered a pointed "wish" from a concert stage over the weekend after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump: "Don't miss Trump next time."
During the band's concert in Sydney, Australia, video shows Black singing "Happy Birthday" to Gass onstage as a birthday cake is presented to him. Black then tell Gass to "make a wish."
Reaction to Gass' 'don't miss Trump next time' statement seemed decidedly negative under one video posted to X.
With that, Black's bandmate waits a few seconds and says, "Don’t miss Trump next time," before blowing out the candles. Black replies, "Thank you!"
It sounds as though the audience's reaction on one clip was mostly laughter and applause. Indeed, Yahoo News said one crowd member remarked, “You could hear a couple of ‘oohhs’ — like 'too soon' sort of vibes — but the vast majority was laughter." The outlet said numerous fans praised Gass’ comment while others criticized the "bad joke."
Reaction to Gass' "don't miss Trump next time" statement seemed decidedly negative under one video posted to X:
Black as of Monday afternoon has not mentioned Gass' comment on X. The X account for Tenacious D also has not mentioned it as of Monday afternoon.
AllMusic describes Tenacious D as a Los Angeles-based "comic rock duo formed by actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass."
