A raunchy joke by ESPYs host about DJ Khaled somehow flew right by the Disney censors
What a Mickey Mouse operation.
During Wednesday night’s ESPY show on ABC, Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez easily slipped in a salacious joke about DJ Khaled’s sex life that was up to Disney’s standards and enforcement team.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please salute the three men who refuse to come down: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson and DJ Khaled,” Hernandez said while laughing at his own joke.

What’s so funny? Back in 2018, Khaled made Internet headlines as detectives began investigating what was believed to be his 2014 appearance. Breakfast Club The DJ had some pretty interesting things to say about his personal life.
“If you keep it reserved for your woman, I think the woman should praise and the man should praise the Queen,” Khaled explained. “But you know, my way of complimenting is: ‘How was dinner? Did you like the house you live in? Did you like all the clothes you bought? I take care of your family, I take care of my family.'”

When asked if he had “fallen out” for his then-girlfriend Nicole Tuck, Khaled immediately replied that it wasn’t like him. “No, never. No, I can’t do this. Damn it… I can’t do this. I won’t do this.” Khaled responded and stated that if a woman created a similar rule, she would have problems.

When pressed about his rules for you, not me, DJ didn’t budge. “There are different rules for men. You must understand that we are Kings,” he added. Tuck and Khaled now have two sons.

While there’s no moment like 1998, when Norm MacDonald joked about having “inappropriate relationships” with ESPN interns backstage at the ESPYs, the fact that in 2026 Hernandez received a blowjob joke from Disney is still impressive considering the network’s history of cutting dead air over sex jokes.
During a show in 2017, Dan Le Batard was censored while speculating that Rob Gronkowski might end up in a sex act. “It’s okay for Gronk to point out the number between 68 and 70, but for me, right? What the hell is this, Disney? Someone explain this to me. Because that’s how he’s going to die!” Le Batard said at the time.
