Guess who’s stepping back into the spotlight? Kevin Spacey, slipping into his iconic Frank Underwood persona from House of Cards, has popped up in a surprising—and hilarious—promo for comedian Tim Dillon’s new Netflix special, I’m Your Mother.

The short video is a wild ride: Spacey’s Underwood tries to pull a classic blackmail move on Dillon, dangling the comedian’s DoorDash history and some shady photos over his head. But Dillon, with his razor-sharp wit, doesn’t miss a beat—he fires back that the photos are already plastered online, leaving Underwood’s scheme dead in the water.

It’s a brilliant clash of dark humor and quick banter, capped off with Spacey dropping the act just enough to grumble an endorsement, dubbing Dillon a “cockroach” before admitting he’s a fan of the comedian’s unfiltered vibe.

Dillon’s I’m Your Mother, now streaming on Netflix, is a full-on showcase of his take-no-prisoners comedy. If you’ve caught his podcast, The Tim Dillon Show, you know the deal—over a million weekly viewers tune in for his fearless, unapologetic takes. This special doubles down on that energy, and it’s already making waves.

Spacey’s cameo, though, is the real eyebrow-raiser here. After getting the boot from House of Cards in 2017 amid sexual misconduct allegations, he’s had a rough few years in the headlines. Legal battles followed: in 2022, he was cleared in a lawsuit from actor Anthony Rapp, and in 2023, a UK court acquitted him of sex crime charges. Seeing him revive Underwood—a role tied to his glory days—feels like a tentative toe-dip back into the public eye.

The promo’s picking up steam on social media, and it’s easy to see why. It’s an odd-couple pairing that works—Spacey’s dramatic chops bouncing off Dillon’s irreverent edge. If you’re into that mix of nostalgia and comedy with a bite, I’m Your Mother is ready to stream on Netflix now.
