Jack Black says Tenacious D will return after Trump joke controversy

Black put comedy rock duo ‘on hold’ after Kyle Gass joked about assassination attempt

Jack Black said the band will be back 'when it feels right'.

Jack Black has said Tenacious D, his comedy rock duo with longtime friend Kyle Gass, will continue following controversy caused by a joke Gass made about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

“I love Tenacious D … We had to take a break, but I love the D. Everybody takes a break sometimes,” Black said at the Los Angeles premiere for his new action film Borderlands this week. “We’ll be back.” Black had previously said “all future creative plans [for Tenacious D] are on hold” amid backlash to Gass’s joke.
