Theo Von’s viral Trump interview brings comedian’s Polish aristocratic background back to light

THEO VON'S TRUMP INTERVIEW BRINGS COMEDIAN'S POLISH ARISTOCRATIC BACKGROUND BACK TO LIGHT

Stand-up comedian Theo Von interviewed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, and the conversation produced several breakout moments.

In it, Von told Trump about how cocaine turns you into “a damn owl, homie,” and said he knew the economy was good under Trump because his cousin bought a boat.

But two days later, Von, a popular Southern comedian who got his start on MTV’s Road Rules, is going viral again as people discover his alleged ties … to the Polish aristocracy.

“Comedian @TheoVon’s real name is Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski III and he is from a Polish aristocratic family,” @QuantumDom posted, linking to a photo of Von’s Wikipedia page and highlighting an entry about the Kurnatowski family

According to that page, the family has been highly active in Polish politics since the 16th Century. Other people noted the ties, too. “theo von is polish aristocracy bro what the hell,” wrote one.
