- CAA signed comedian Chris Distefano for representation, the New York comic who first gained notice as a standout on MTV's Guy Code and Girl Code talking-head series.
- Distefano became the first stand-up comedian to sell out both Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden on consecutive nights in 2023, the milestone the signing surfaces.
- Distefano released his latest special, It's Just Unfortunate, as the fourth installment of Hulu's stand-up Hularious series in February 2025.
- Distefano's prior specials include Speshy Weshy, released on Netflix in 2022, and Size 38 Waist on Comedy Central in 2019.
- Distefano continues to be represented by manager James Dixon and attorney Seth Horowitz, with CAA joining as agency representation only.
- Distefano co-hosts the podcasts History Hyenas with Yannis Pappas and Chrissy Chaos when not performing stand-up.
Why it matters: CAA has added a stand-up with a documented arena-level live draw in New York — consecutive Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden sellouts in 2023, a milestone the source calls first-of-its-kind — and an active streaming presence via Hulu's Hularious series, where his February 2025 special was the fourth installment. His existing manager and attorney remain in place, so this is a pure talent-agency addition riding recent Hulu momentum.
