My
first
memory
of
comedian
and
podcaster
Theo
Von
came
from
his
stint
on
MTV’s
Road
Rules,
which
folks
of
a
certain
age
will
remember
as
“The
Real
World
but
in
a
Winnebago.”
For
everyone
else,
it’s
the
show
that
used
to
produce
contestants
for
The
Challenge
before
they
started
populating
that
show
with
failed
Love
Island
participants.
In
one
episode
where
Theo
doggedly
grilled
castmates
over
whether
or
not
they
hooked
up,
the
gone-but-not-forgotten
genius
website
Television
Without
Pity
titled
their
summary
“The
Redneck
Inquisition.”
Von
has
known
how
to
lean
on
his
Louisiana
roots
to
get
deceptively
good
“I’m
just
a
simple
country
lawyer”
results
for
years.
In
the
most
recent
episode
of
his
popular
This
Past
Weekend
podcast,
Von
and
fellow
comedian
Bobby
Lee
were
discussing
Bobby
lookalikes
—
“Kim
Jung
Un
and
I
come
from
the
same
body
type”
—
when
Lee
raised
Trump
campaign
spokesperson
Steven
Cheung
and
asked
the
producer
to
look
up
“I
think
he’s
an
attorney…
for
Trump.”
Which
the
producer
confirmed,
EXCEPT
he
found
this
by
searching
for
Steven
CHUNG
and
not
CHEUNG,
pulling
up
the
feed
of
Above
the
Law
resident
tax
law
columnist
Chung.
Cheung,
by
the
way,
is
not
an
attorney.
Obviously,
Above
the
Law
does
not
have
a
Trump
campaign
spokesperson
as
a
columnist…
anymore.
