In a surprising and humorous twist, Kevin Spacey has resurrected his House of Cards character, Frank Underwood, to promote Tim Dillon’s Netflix stand-up special, I’m Your Mother. The promo video features Spacey in full character, exchanging witty banter with Dillon.

The promo begins with Spacey’s Underwood addressing Dillon, saying, “You podcasters think you’ve inherited the kingdom.” Dillon responds, “Frank Underwood? I thought you were dead.” Spacey, deadpan as ever, retorts, “I’m as dead as John McCain.” After a mix-up in names, Underwood attempts to blackmail Dillon using his DoorDash orders, but Dillon flips the script, saying, “We don’t have blackmail. We have content.” The exchange ends with Underwood’s endorsement of Dillon, with Spacey’s character praising Dillon’s audacity: “You have my endorsement, Mr. Dillon.”
