What a Mickey Mouse operation.
During Wednesday night’s ESPYs show on ABC, Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez slipped a dirty joke about DJ Khaled’s sex life right by Disney’s standards and practices team with ease.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome three guys who simply refuse to go down: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson and DJ Khaled,” Hernandez said while laughing at his own joke.

What’s so funny? If you go back to 2018, Khaled made Internet headlines as sleuths started digging into what is believed to be a 2014 appearance on The Breakfast Club where the DJ had some rather interesting things to say about his personal life.
“If you holding it down for your woman, I feel like the woman should praise and the man should praise the Queen,” Khaled explained. “But, you know, my way of praising is called, ‘How was dinner? You like the house you living in? You like all them clothes you getting? I’m taking care of your family, I’m taking care of my family.'”

When pressed on whether he “goes down” on his then-girlfriend, Nicole Tuck, Khaled immediately said that’s not his thing. “Nah, never. Nah, I can’t do that. Hell nah…I can’t do that. I don’t do that,” Khaled fired back, while noting he’d have a problem if a woman created a similar rule.

When he was pressed over his rules for thee, not for me, stance, the DJ didn’t budge. “It’s different rules for men. You gotta understand, we the King,” he added. Tuck and Khaled now have two sons.

While it wasn’t a moment like 1998 when Norm MacDonald joked about having “inappropriate relations” with ESPN interns backstage at the ESPYs, Hernandez getting an oral sex joke past Disney in 2026 is still impressive considering the network’s history of cutting to dead air over sex jokes.
During a 2017 show, Dan Le Batard was censored while speculating that Rob Gronkowski’s could end via a sex act. “It’s OK for Gronk to reference the number between 68 and 70, but not me? The hell is this, Disney? Somebody explain this to me. Because that’s the way he’s going to die!” Le Batard said at the time.
