This would’ve worked better if it was clear that the guy either left voluntarily or got yanked aside, possibly with a vaudeville hook. But the spiraling motion line suggests that he did the most random multi-backflip.
IF the joke WAS that he doesn’t need to give him an introduction, it would have been clearer TO ME if he then just walked away after saying that. That being said, Rubes is about the funniest single panel out there. I feel like I must be punished for trying to correct a genius.

This must be an inside joke. Not all things are funny once they leave the cartoonists head. This is one of those times.

no introduction for a man who needs no introduction…… simple

The guest is a telekineticist. He’s making the microphone float in mid air with his mind! Amazing!

Not funny as is. Maybe “a man who needs no introduction, so I’m not giving him one.”

Maybe the hook got him.

Imagine if they would have turned the podium over to him.
