Summary
On this exciting change of pace for The Charlie Kirk Show in terms of our usual lineup of guests, Charlie sits down with the legendary eponymous founder of Papa John's—one of America's most successful pizza chains. He and Charlie go through John's rise from poverty to corporate dominance and then his eventual ousting at the hands of people he describes as corporate vultures. An early casualty of Corporate 'Cancel Culture,' Papa John gives a behind-the-scenes peek at the boardroom coup that shook up the culinary world before hinting at the possibility of a Papa John Comeback that may very well be in the works.
