Kyle Gass and Jack Black reconciled and plan to reunite following outrage over an onstage joke referencing the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The incident occurred during a July 2024 Sydney performance when Gass quipped Don't miss Trump next time after Black pretended to blow birthday candles. The pair cancelled their Australian tour and placed future creative plans on hold amid global media coverage and political backlash. Gass acknowledged the joke showed terrible judgment, apologized, and described feeling overwhelmed by the reaction, including abusive contact directed at his 95-year-old mother. Gass indicated the duo resolved their differences and intends to return.
