Idol filmed a video to announce the tour in which he is plagued by lyrics from his songs. Comedian Matt Rife says, “It’s a nice day for a white mocha,” “More more more” and quotes other Idol songs.
Jett appeared as Idol’s therapist and bandmate Steve Stevens appears at a dinner with Idol. He named the tour “It’s a Nice Day To… Tour Again” after his “White Wedding” lyric, also spoofed in the mocha line.
Idol received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023. Jett toured with Alanis Morissette last year.
