Caloroga Shark Media. In there. I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Now this first story, please understand, I come in peace. I came to be supportive.

I was curious. Remember the future of late night is doing late night shows on YouTube. I was like, all right, I wonder how the premiere episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib did. I’m recording this sentence at one thirteen pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, June third. The premiere episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib, a YouTube channel with two point nine one million subscribers at this time as I record this sentence, has twenty one thousand views.

His guest was Kevin Smith. Separate from the twenty one thousand views video posted five days ago, they have posted a video titled Kevin Smith’s Best Advice Believe in Yourself First. That clip, posted fourteen hours or as before I spoke this sentence, has three hundred and eight views. Maybe a lot of people were watching the live stream and I don’t have access to that data. Again, I come in peace, but that’s not going to cut it.

Your headline from the Daily Beast, ready buckle up, everybody. Netflix doubles down on bigotry with Mega Comedians special. That’s right, the Streamers promoting Tony Hinchcliff’s late Ast special by celebrating his jokes about Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, and Asians. The Daily Beast rights Tony Hinchcliff is back to his usual stick quote unquote making fun of different ethnic groups with plenty of help from Netflix. They remindus.

The Donald Trump fan went mainstream following his appearance on the streamers Roast of Tom Brady in twenty twenty four, after which he gained fame for a different kind when he told racially insensitive jokes at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally later that year. Netflix rewarded the appearance with a major deal, offering the comedian four specials last March three for his show Killed Tony, and one for an hour of his own stand up. On Tuesday, the streamer released the teaser for that stand of special, titled Man of the People. Should we listen? We probably should listen.

We’ve made fun of Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, Asians. Thank you. I’d imagine if I were sitting where you are right now and I bought a ticket to a Tony Hinchcliff show. I’d probably thinking of myself, Tony, where are those juw jokes? Well, I’m averaging about four specials a year with Netflix right now, and I’m not in the mood to make jew jokes anymore.

Now. Right before the Netflix sounder, they are Tony winks at the camera. So that’s your trailer as a curiosity. As a comparison, This trailer as I record this sentence at one seventeen pm on Wednesday, was posted one day ago and has twenty thousand views, just slightly less than Ben Gleb’s hour and a half a late night show. And I support you, but that’s not going to cut it.

Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing really well, he is going to host the SPS on July fifteenth. The twenty twenty six SP’s are returning to New York after more than twenty five years, this year’s event being held at Lincoln Center. Marcelo Hernandez said, I started doing comedy ten years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, and I would take the train twelve hours to New York to sell comedy tickets on the street in Greenwich Village in Exchange for stage time. It’s an honor and frankly feels crazy to be hosting the SP’s this year in New York. I agree, it does feel crazy that Marcelo Hernandez is hosting the SPI’s.

I agree with you, Marcelo. Marcello said, I’m sure the energy is going to be great. It’s been a slow week for comedy, you can tell by Brooks making the three spot on Today’s podcast. He caught up with a Little Village magazine. But part of this particularly interested me.

Brooks has been opening for Seth Myers and John Oliver in their residency Anti Beacon Theater in New York City. How’s that going? Brooks said, they’re the best. I looked into the coolest gig, imaginable opening for two friends and comedians that I really look up to. I also head out on the road to open for each one of them individually.

So me and Seth have been road tripping around America lately. When I was on SNL, he was my boss, and now he’s just super great friend. Turns out he’s a great boss to have it. It’s ratt just to be on the road with a pal. They talked about the Chicago comedy scene back in the day.

There are other comics from Iowa back then, right kameil and on. Johnny moved there after he went to Grenelle. Brooks said, right after I got there, did an open mic at a place called Kiddy Moon. Kmale went up and I was like, what that scene was the best? Kyle Kanaan had just left.

Hannibal Burris was becoming the funniest guy who’s ever been alive. That’s when I was in the Chicago just doing the serious XM thing. But there was a Chicago comedy festival and we used to be out there relatively frequently, and that’s when Hannibal was owning the town. That’s when I was out there, Brooks said. There were so many guys who were perfect to look up to you, Guys six years older than you.

They were doing late night sets, which was so much more attainable than the full hour special. So when I saw them, I thought, this is possible. Now. What caught my eye they started talking about marathons. Humble Bragg.

I’ve ran the New York City Marathon twice, and I have ran three days in a row. I’m trying to run every day in June and so far. I ran on June one, two and three. I talked to Brooks about marathons. He’s got an endorsement with A six shoes, but Brooks says, I’m two and done with marathons.

I ran wondering COVID as a joke to prove that they weren’t hard and that people make too much out of them. Hey, I ended up really hurting my knee because they are hard. Oh that’s better, Yeah, now you get it. A six reached out to me about training appropriately running a marathon. After twelve weeks of that and then writing about it, I got really fast.

It was awesome, and halfway through the second marathon, I slammed a Mountain Dew to try and parlay it into a Mountain Dew sponsorship by saying, Mountain Dew’s good for you. Look how fast I am, and my body immediately stopped working right away. Everything just tightened, spasm. I’d lay on the ground for like half an hour. I ended up running that second marathon slower than the first.

Me too, but I put a decade between my two. So they’re curious, Brooks, why did you go with A six sneakers instead of Brooks shoes, Brooks would have been a natural fit. Brooks said, Hey, Asex reached out if Brooks had called me first, Sure, I am wearing Brooks sneakers right now. Those are the ones that I run in these days, but I run the second one. I’m actually wearing them my marathon sneakers right now.

These are my Rainbow Brooks shoes. They’re worn out, so these are now just my wear around the house of sneakers. Why are they rainbow, John, because I like to make my current training pair, like visually very different so that I don’t wear them as like everyday shoes. But John, he just said, you’re wearing them as every day shoes. Yes, but I know the rainbow ones are worn out, so every pair I get looks very different from the previous pair.

Michelle Obama said, Dave Chappelle is one of the smartest people on the planet, the funniest all get out. Once he became himself, he moved back to Ohio, bought a fo and he’s raised his family on this farm. One of the questions was why here, and he said, I wanted to have the financial freedom to be courageous. Mashable asked Josh Johnson about his hoodies. He said the hoodie started as a comfort thing, mostly vintage and thrifted fines Hans are now giving him more customized ones, to inspired ones, even cashmere versions.

He jokes he’s too scared to sweat in the gray hoodie has become part of his persona. He said. Even when people see me out in the street, they’re like, oh, you’re really wear that. That’s the good and bad part of doing a thing. If you generally like it, it just becomes how you look all the time.

Vittorio Angeloni told the CBC, John has said a slow news day. No, Vittorio didn’t say that. That’s you asking me that. Why why do you ask? Vittorio Angeloni told the CBC.

I don’t want anyone to enjoy the entire show. I have people come up to me after the show and say, oh, I really like the show apart from that one joke, and I think, yeah, you shouldn’t like all this. It should be the edges of your taste and where you feel comfortable. I want to push the audience. Ray Romano talked about naming his show Everybody Loves Raymond Raids Old People.

When the show was starting, I was a comedian, and all I did was self deprecating humor. My brother, who in real life is a New York City policeman, came home one day and saw that I got an award from some stand up comedy that I did, and he said, sarcastically, Raymond goes to work and they give him awards. I go to work and people spit on me. Everybody loves Raymond. Ray didn’t like the title, even though the CBS execs did.

Ray suggested some other titles, including that Raymond Guy, Raymond’s Tree awful, and his personal favorite was called Um Raymond. Jeff fox Worthy, who dropped a special on Fox Nation on Monday, said this may be his final special. He says he’s not done with stand up, but creating a special it takes a lot of effort. Jeff said, I’m not saying I would quit doing stand up. It’s just a lot of work to do a special and I’d rather hang out with my grandkids.

When you commit to doing a special, it’s a year. It takes a year of going in comedy clubs Wednesday night’s, Tuesday nights, you know, trying new things. Is this funny? Is it not funny? And nobody’s ever showed that.

That is part of the special The Jokes on Me, where he shows some behind the scenes looks at the repetitive creative process of putting a special together. Did his first stand up special in nineteen ninety with a you might be a redneck joke, and for this one he figured, let me dust it off. I thought, well, this might be the last special idea because it’s a lot of work. And I’m like, if I close the first one that way, why not sig a bowl around it and close the last one that way. Boy, this Nate Brighetzi movie didn’t do.

Uh, I don’t think it did for Nate what he thought was gonna do. Let’s look at the box office. I forgot to do that earlier in the week Nate Brigetzi Breadwinner box office. All right, we are on boxoffice report dot com. It is the weekend box office report for May twenty nine through the thirty first.

Oh my domestic weekend studio estimates for May twenty nine two May thirty first. Of course, I don’t think Nate is a big international draw, so we’ll just look at the domestic number one back rooms eighty one million, A number two Obsession twenty six point four. The Mandalorian got another twenty five million in fourth place, Michael with eleven million, and the Breadwinner seven point five million dollars. With that kind of box off, you’re going to be the guest host for Ben Gleeb on YouTube eight. Don’t do the theme park?

Are you listening to me? Theme park? Big mistake? Comedy tour? Not mistake?

Theme park mistake? Nate, you gotta listen. In Indian comedian revealed he was detained in Dubai for forty seven days before being deported to India, and an Instagram post yoursh Barjoaj said he had shared a quote harmless dumb reel. Bardoise revealed the reel was about how Google Maps allegedly malfunctioned in Dubai amid tensions link to the conflict in the Middle East. He explains, on March nineteenth, while I was at a gig in Dubai, I got a call from Dubai Police asking me to report to the Dubai Police HQ.

Immediately turns out they had an issue with a comedy reel I made about Google Maps malfunctioning in Dubai and do the current war in the region. It was a harmless, dumb reel, but the authorities didn’t find it funny. I was detained and arrested as a perceived national security threat, and I spent forty seven days in a ten center and in New York City, home of the New York Knicks. The New York Laughs Festival is back tonight through June seventh. Among the comedians slated to a peer Jeff Ross David tell, Dice, Mark Norman’s, Rachel Feinstein, Mm Willman, Paul Versey, Matt Brisard, Alex English, Steve ran His Easy, and Gerard Carmichael.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Behind the scenes here this is actually take two. I started to go down a rabbit hole. There is an article in the Daily Mail, the headline Kevin Harten crisis, staff goes scorched earth to expose secrets, Empire crimbles and sex scandal refuses to die.

And as I just started going through it, I’m like, I don’t even know what we’re talking about here. I don’t want to get in a lawsuit. I don’t want to have an opinion. But just as I did the story, I’m like, this doesn’t feel right for the show. But if the exciting headline gets your attention, I’ll let you read it for yourself.

In the Daily Mail, let’s talk about Jimmy Kimmel, who did an interview with Vulture that headline, Jimmy Kimmel would stop if he could. Trump wants him out late night, is dying and he’s tired. What does the end look like? The article walks through Kimmel’s career, including the early struggles of Jimmy Kimmel live some of the stuff that has not aged particularly well. Kimble says he is willing to apologize for things he believes crossed the line the quote, I don’t consider apology to be a defeat.

I think it’s the very basis of Catholicism. But we learned that Kimmel is passed the point where he can be persuaded to apologize or something he doesn’t think is wrong. Quoting Kimmel, one of the things we talked about when I first got suspended was that I can’t do the show if I’m going to be micromanaged. They got into the end of the Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel said, I feel a little bit defeated by it in a lot of ways. I feel like I’m looking at my own future.

If you look at the number of views me and my colleagues get online every day, and add in our linear television ratings, he says it’s silly to call the format less relevant. However, says we’re not just dying of natural causes, We’re being poisoned. He questioned the idea of the Late Show with Steven Colbert losing forty million dollars a year, pointing out that they had offered Colbert a five year contract and then two years later, we’re like, yeah, no, we don’t need this show anymore. Jimmy Kimmel said it mighty believed that over the course of those two years they suddenly started losing forty million dollars a year. Those are just made up numbers.

He adds, it’s not like when Johnny Carson or even Jay Leno were raking in the dot. But he’s been told by ABC that Jimmy Kimmelive is profitable. Last December, Disney extended Kimmel’s contract for one year, more than the typical three year renewal. Jimmy Kimmel said, everything is so tumultuous that seemed to make sense. It’s definitely not how it’s gone in the past.

The current contract expires May twenty twenty seven. Kimmell says it’s important to me to be responsible. I know I could go out in a blaze of glory and get a lot of applause for it, but it would be a very selfish thing to do. Kimmel is thinking about the end of the show. He told Vulture six years ago, I told him I thought I was done when Biden was president, but he wants to end on his own terms.

Kimmel’s producer Aaron Irwin said he’s been talking about leaving for a while. She’d like to see the show continue through the twenty twenty eight election, but I don’t know if Jimmy can do it for that long. He’s tired. Kimmel will take a break this summer. Johnny Mac has said, I think that’s a strategic mistake, and you should grab the Colbert diaspora.

But maybe Kimbill doesn’t care. If he’s thinking about ending the show, I don’t know I would have him on this summer. His break will start after the Knicks win the NBA Championship. Kimill’s break starts after the NBA Final on June nineteenth. Normally, renewal conversations would be underway by now, but as of late May, they haven’t begun.

Kimil said, I don’t know what ABC is going to want to do. It’s an unusual position to be in, but I do still have a year left on my contract and that’s what I agreed to do.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel won a Peabody Award and gave a speech Let’s listen to…

I’ve made some edits here for language and pacing. I’d say I. Felt pretty dumb a lot of times in my life, but I’ve never felt dumber than I do right now, being on stage with this group of people who expose the horrors of ice on prison abuse and protests against the Vietnam War teacher who took on Putin. I called our president fatty shack and blobbed the builder and Leiger Woods and the hungry, hungry hypocrite, our fondling father Malardo Cintandella, and no Stra dumbass, And somehow we. Got a peabody out of that move.

Making jokes about the president in America shouldn’t win you a prize. We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satirize our leaders, as is a right that many of us take for granted. It’s one that I took for granted for the first fifty seven years of my life until September of last year, when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I experienced something that surprised me even more. I watched as millions of people, even some from across the aisle objected.

They spoke up, they marched, they canceled, their subscriptions to Star Wars because they refused to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. They sent a message. You sent a message that we do care, and we will stand up, and that we will not stand by when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated and criminalized. Jo Rogan was talking with Harland Williams about the roost of Kevin Hart. Joe Rogan thinks some comedians.

I don’t know. I’ll let him explain it. I’m pretty sure he’s talking about Chelsea Handler here, But you tell me. I’ve made edits for both language and pacing. To defend Tony to everybody.

Yeah he’s a great guy. Yeah, he’s a great guy. Yea, yeah, he’s just like in that world. You have to understand the roast world. That is not the real world.

Kids, That is you’re going for blood. You know, like if you’re in a cage fight and you elbow someone in the face, it’s not because you’re a bad person. You have like that is your job. That’s the game we’re playing. These are the rules that we’re under.

And so when you see people complain about it, see I understand the general public that’s not aware of what roasts are because the reality of roasts are especially for like if you’re a twenty two year old kid, the last time they were roasts on television before the Tom Brady Bros. Was literally ten years ago. Yeah, like do you remember the Charlie Sheen Rose, the Donald Trump Rose, the Comedy Central roast. They saw them all the time, all the time. They were a long time ago.

Yeah, it’s a long time in the zeitgeys, right, So those things don’t exist to kids. To kids, comedy is joking about stuff. Comedy is Chris Rock, Comedy is Kevin Hart, Comedy is Luis c K. That’s what they think of comedy as they don’t under they don’t even understand the jokes like that this is roast. Jokes are mean.

They’ve always been mean. They could be cruel to personal, ruthless. Go back and watch all those old Comedy Central roles. They were brutal, they were brutal. Patrecea would just eviscerate the entire stadium those things.

The thing is, like, if you’re a person and you’re not accustomed to roast and you don’t get why those jokes are so mean. I get it. But comedians, comedians that are getting upset about these roast jokes, you know what this is. You know exactly what this. You’re a trader.

You’re just using this moment to try to boost yourself up, to try to like knock down what’s happening in these things. You could disagree with the content, you could say, I think they went too far with this. I don’t think, but this this pretending that these people are actual racists and Nazis just because they’re telling these jokes that are in a roast. I’m gonna be careful with this next one because I don’t want to visit from anybody wearing sunglasses. George Lopez made a joke about a very very famous person like picture, like a really famous person that’s in the news all the time.

And George Lopez made a joke about that person. A few minutes after the joke, he received a phone call telling him expect a visit from guys in sunglasses. You know I’m talking about those guys. Here is George Lopez talking to Shaquille O’Neil. I’ve made some edits because I don’t need to be visited by anybody.

I was with Cedric and his daughter at the chateau for a birthday, drinking some champagne. I leave, I get in the car. I turned my phone on Instagram had said this was probably like maybe four and a half years ago. Allegedly Iran had offered an eighty million dollar bounty, and I put in there, we’ll. Do it for half.

And I wasn’t. I wasn’t even home yet. I wasn’t even home, and my publicist school whenever round, my publicist calls, it’s just like, oh, I said, hello, where are you? I said, up in the car. But but but where were you?

Where have you been? And I told her man and uh, she said, it’s it’s big, like it’s big. And Fox had these people that you know, he should be arrested. Of course, yeah, so I had. I had it on Fox occasionally to see.

And then one day I get up in the morning, I walked by it. I stopped against my attention and said, George Lopez should expect a visit early next week. And uh, five minutes after that, my phone rang and I said, hey, George Lobe, you should expect the visit early next The same thing that was all the thing. They told me, and they came over. Attorney with me and they come to the house.

Ronny Chieng was at Harvard class day and unleashed on AI. He said, can I say fai fi fai? He didn’t say f he said the full word there. Chang said, it’s stupid. It’s so stupid.

If you tried using it, it’s always wrong. AI says that Harvard has a fifty six point nine billion dollar endowment and that the Harvard Graduate Students’ Union is on strike to try and get a liverable wage increase to twenty five dollars an hour. There’s no way that’s true. I mean, that’s ridiculous. How bad are these AI hallucinations?

Getting? The mission of your generation is to destroy AI, kill it. Ronny Chieng explains, the creating is the fun part. The best part in comedy writing is figuring out the puzzle pieces of a joke and getting the self regard from having accomplished a different thing. Why would I want AI to take it away from me?

On mattin Sheen’s Secret podcast, The Guys discussed communism. Here’s a clip I’ve made an edit for language. Watch the Little documentary on Mals dung. What’s he up to? He’s dead, but he killed a lot of people in the way out a lot.

It’s important to study communism, yeah, because you know the youngsters these days, they think it’s far out and fly. Yeah, it’s really weird. It’s not usually results in about fifty million people dying. Doesn’t work typically, Yeah, it’s no, it’s pretty I mean that’s you know again, I’ve been making the YouTube debates spear watching that and that’s a big one, Like how you uncomfortable calling yourself a communist if that many people died? And it’s like, well, it’s because it sounds nice, you know.

It’s like, no, we shared. It’s like it starts with the seizure of private property exactly. That’s crazy. Yeah, it is funny where it’s like built on It’s like it’s not really sharing. It built from the government taking everyone’s property.

Well, the government’s terrible. Yeah, I don’t trust them with anything, it’d be horrible. Why do people want to give them more power? New England Patriots fans not happy with Matt Rife. Why quarterback Drake May held a celebrity softball game on Sunday night.

Some of the participants comedian Matt Rife Patriot’s running back Ramandre Stevenson. On one play during the game, Matt Riife got a bad throat a first base after what looked like a routine ground out, so Riife went to second base. He got caught up in a rundown. Rife wound up aggressively sliding into second base and took out the legs of the Patriots running back. Can you imagine if you lost your running back because Matt Rife slid into second base.

Luckily, Stevenson appeared to be okay after the play. John Mulaney has shared the new entry in his book Club. He wrote on social media, it’s on threads. If I recall correctly, Hello from a wahwah somewhere outside Washington, DC. Mlanie reads this month is all about the Left and the Lucky by Willie Vlauton.

M’laney says, I’ve read this in a day, just in love with the characters. Very funny people in some cases, very tragic, very human. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorite movies, Joe by David Gordon Green. I’m really a sucker for any story of an older person taking a lost kid under their wing. This one is electric.

Buy it at your favorite bookstore.

Meanwhile, Tig Nataro has joined the cast of Beach Read.

Character details are under wraps, but in Beach Read, idealistic romance novelist January Andrews and cynical literary fiction writer Augustus Gus Everett played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, have at least one thing in common, a serious case of writer’s block. When they unexpectedly find themselves living next door to each other in a small Lake Michigan beach town for the summer, they strike an unlikely bet to swap genres, and the lines between fiction and romance begin to blur. Exciting. Huh all right, I don’t feel like playing the Gossip Corner song today, but we are on Gossip Corner. This was on Threads.

There is an account called Assistance versus Agents. Their description the next Generation of Entertainment. We can contact a team Warner Bailey at United Talent dot com and we are told there are jobs, news and interviews every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Now on Monday they posted ever wonder what some of the biggest comedians request on their writers? And I was like, I do so I don’t know is this one hundred percent accurate or is this totally made up?

We are on gossip corner here. Use this information at your discretion. But according to this post on threads dot com, Bill Burr’s writer asks for two Kind bars, two Cliff bars, two Quest chocolate brownie protein bars, two Quest chocolate chip protein cookies, two Deer packwater cases, six bottles of unsweetened iced tea can be pure Leaf or Golden Peak. Dave Chappelle’s writer apparently includes American Spirit cigarettes, two Blue too black. Kevin Hart He’s never in the news.

Apparently Kevin Hart needs parentheses, thirty six parentheses, twelve bottles of spring water, and then it says keep twelve bottles at room temperature. So I’m guessing thirty six total, but twelve of them room temperature and the other twenty four presumably cold. The alleged Kevin Hart writer also asks for simply brand fruit punch, half a gallon, simply brand lemonade, half a gallon simply brand watermelon, half a gallon, a Curriig coffee machine, some assorted k cups, two boxes of lit would iv any flavor, but no strawberry, so that’s not any flavor. It’s any flavor. Butt strawberry, a Canada dry ginger, ale x L dudewipes.

So Kevin Hart was very thirsty and now he needs some dude wipes. Are you familiar with dudewipes? If you go to dudewipes dot com, they will tell you we make flushable wipes, billions of them assembled right here in the USA. They’re tagline billions of butts wiped. That’s on Kevin Hart’s writer.

Where what else does he want? Pathwater, Essentia or Icelantic water, twelve bottles of those four diet Doctor Pepper twelve ounce or sixteen ounce. It’s not like Kevin Hart’s Picky Sea. Four smart energy drinks are sorted, and he’s also down with the unsweetened iced tea pure Leaf or Golden Peak. Gabriel Iglesias, his writer asks for cold brew coffee Stumptown preferred.

Joe Coy, he want host of the Golden Globes. It made a horrible, mean joke about Cheryl Swift. Wodn’t have time for that. Joe Coy is asking for six twenty ounce hydration water bottles. Essensia can be a substitute Alisa Dieke would like two Celsius Energy d Inks orange please, and six bottles of Mountain Valley Spring Waters not sparkling.

Hannibal Burrs would like kind bars two of those. And our last writer is from Tom Segura, who, according to assistants versus agents, would like four Liquid Death rest In Peach cans, four Stumptown Cold Brew coffees, glasser nitro can is fine, six Sierra Nevada pel els, six bottles of Harmless Harvest coconut water, four Fever Tree on Cater’s can’s blue label. I don’t even know what that is. Two RX bars Dealer’s choice, ten Go Marco macro bars, berry or lemon flavor preferred, and we’re told you can get those at Whole Foods. There are six sparkling waters, Popochico lime or grapefruit please.

Can you mention? Rob Anderson has his debut special. It’s out on YouTube today. It’s called Are You Afraid of the Nineties. We are told that Rob Anderson is known online as the King of Nostalgia and has built up a cult following through his celebrating and roasting of the most chaotic retro pop culture moments taped during a sold out show in Vancouver.

The special revisits the movies, television and pop culture moments that shaped the generation and Bill Cosby in the news. An LA County Superior Court judge has denied Bill Cosby’s request for a new trial after Drury recently found Bill Cosby was liable for nineteen million dollars in damages for a civil sex assault case. Judge Bradley S. Phillips ruled on Friday that Bill Cosby did not prove there was any irregularity in the court proceedings that would have presented Bill Cosby from getting a fair trial, and the damages awarded to his accuser were not excessive. In March, a woman was awarded nineteen point two five million dollars in damages after she sued Bill Cosby in twenty twenty three, alleging that Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted her in nineteen seventy two after escorting her to one of his shows.

Someday on this program, after the death of Bill Cosby, I’m going to tell you a story all this month. It’s June. We’re asking you we Who’s we? John? Who’s WII?

I? Don’t know me. I I Hey, I’m asking you to share the show. That’s what we’re doing this June. So if you like the show, you’re gonna go, Hey, buddy, there’s this podcaster.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Conan O’Brien is suing Harvard. I’ve got a clip for you, a little longer than I usually play for a clip, but it’s great. Here’s Conan.

Perhaps the biggest issue facing this institution is that the federal government of the United States is suing our university. Yeah. Many people think I’ve come today to defend Harvard. Well, sorry, those people are wrong. Not only am I not against these lawsuits, I’m here to announce that I’m joining them.

I too, am suing Harvard. I’m suing Harvard for the cast iron bunk bed that greeted me upon my arrival at How Were They sixteen my freshman year, a bed that has since been confiscated by the Hague as an instrument of divine c I’m suing Harvard for allowing me to sign up for a nine am class at the Science Center and a ten am class down at Soldiers Field. For God’s sakes, I was a child. I’m suing Harvard for my less than spectacular undergraduate sex life, for me having a three way man adding a second mirror to my dorm. I’m suing Harvard because once I had to listen to the Harvard Crocodillo’s do an eight minute rendition of split splash, I was taken a bath.

My god, each one took a solo and it was awful.

And finally, I’m suing Harvard because, and this is absolutely true, in the s…

You has served a meal called capt’n Ben’s fish spaghetti. To this day, I have no idea who capt’n Ben is or why someone would combine government issue cod with spaghetti. Harvard, I’ll see your ass in court. Yes, I’m confident that my claims will have more merit than those filed by the President of the United States. Yes, as you are aware, the current administration feels Harvard amidst too many foreign students, and who knows, they may have a point.

After all, what has any foreigner ever added to our American culture, with the possible exception of music, literature, art, cuisine, architecture, dance, scientific breakthroughs in the core of our moral codes and ethical blaze? Seriously serious, If foreigners hadn’t gummed up the works right now, it’d all be listening to delightful Calvinist reggae, eating savory Church of England ZD and dancing the forbidden and sexually charged the Lutheran LOMBARDA wow. And you can send your letters to Conan O’Brien now via Deadline. BBS is letting you know you could take all the shots you want at them over this Byron Allen thing. They’re good with it.

I see people on threads and they’re like, the ratings are down for Byron Allen. CBS is getting what they deserve. They know what they’re walking into. Byron Allen is fine with this. CBS is fine with this.

CBS wants you to know that Byron Allen, who is a billionaire and has had a lot of success in television, doing this sort of thing. Byron Allen is paying fifteen million dollars a year as a time buy, meaning that he’s leasing the eleven thirty hour from CBS and selling its ad inventory himself. So on the CBS end, even if this show gets zero viewers, they make fifteen million dollars a year, so they don’t care. You can hate all you want the first night of Comics Unleashed got eight hundred and seventy eight thousand total viewers, which honestly is not that far from comparing apples to slightly different apples here, but Seth Meyers show really doesn’t get a lot more than that. I’m comparing eleven thirty and twelve thirty, and maybe that eight seventy eight was some curiosity mixed in.

We’ll see where the Byron Allen number settles in. BBS said, We’re proud to partner with Byron Allen on a new business and programming model for Late Night that proactively addresses a network date part that was cost prohibitive to continue with this time by model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly forty million dollars annually to fifteen million dollars in profit, a fifty five million dollars swing. Some industry sources or curious how a CBS arrives at the negative forty million dollar number, doesn’t really matter. The Late Show is over. Star trek Ruinner Patton Oswalt spoke to Vice about his new special.

One of the topics was ai. Patton Oswalt said, stand up as an art form is a living, evolving snapshot of one person’s life and their reaction to an opinion of it, which is why I think a lot of younger people are kind of seeing the job security of it at all. A I might be able to craft technically funny jokes, but it will never have a point of view that comes from living a life of heartbreak, joy, accidents, massive f ups, and real growth. The new special is called t and Scotch. What’s with that patent?

He said? The titles of my specials and albums are never consciously connected to anything within the special, But later on I realized I was subconsciously expressing something I didn’t even realize was eating at me. And right now, the way we’re living, it’s either soothing tea or bracing scotch. Maybe I’m struggling with how I’ve willingly embraced living under those two extremes and fooled myself into thinking it’s somehow healthy vice ass, Patten, this seems to be the smallest venue you ever filmed a special. Aunt.

Is there a reason for that? Patton said, I did some shows at Comedy on stateon Madison, Wisconsin a few years ago, and I was blown away by how electric and just plane present the crowds were. By the time the weekend was over, I knew that’s where I was going to film my next special, small, raw, intimate. I still love the big streaming platforms, but a lot of them seem to send some pretty brilliant comedy specials down a digital black hole. This was a chance to own my product, control the distribution, make sure the right eyes got on it.

Roll with the new t in Scotch on YouTube. June ninth, Congratulations to Tom sigor who’s on a bit of a roll. Fox Creator Studios and Sigora’s YMH Studios are joining forces. It is a strategic MULTII project partnership to develop, finance, and produce a broad slate of original content. That slate includes a stand up comedy showcase spotlighting both established and emerging voices, a horror comedy animated series, and a live action comedy series set in an airport bar.

Sagora til Deadline. We’ve spent years building a business where we can create independently and stay directly connected to our audience. Fox Creator Studios understands that model and brings the infrastructure and reach to help us expand it in a meaningful way. Nate Bergantcy was hawking his new movie The Breadwinner on in the Ovaughn’s podcast. They started talking about clean comedy.

THEO said, you can get away with a lot more when you don’t curse. I think you could say a lot of things and talk about a lot of stuff. When people hear foul language, they either check out or label a comedian as dirty. Nate said, just be in control of it. When did he get into comedy.

Let me look this up two thousand and two, Nate, you could say stuff by two thousand and two. Relax, You couldn’t say whatever you wanted to say way back in two thousand and two. That’s not a bad thing. That means you have to be creative in a scenario and come out stuff in different angles. THEO Vaughn said, foul language is kind of how I operate a regular day.

Nate said he doesn’t consider von a quote dirty comic and told him to do whatever you want to do. I think Nate needs to hide out for a while. I think if we look back in this run that started with what did he host the Emmys like? He had all the heat coming off the Snlharents. But then the Emmys, the Game Show?

Did anyone care? The movie? Does anyone care? The theme park? Does anyone care?

I think he needs to just tap the brakes a little and just do a stand up tour. But what do I know. He’s making more money than anybody. And I’m sitting in the basement. Rob Schneider in the news, and there’s always when Rob Schneider is in the news, it’s about, you know, really positive things.

I don’t know what it is with Rob. He’s just one of those comedians that every time he appears, just like strife involved with the story. This time he was weighing in on Adam Carolla making the Hollywood Walk of Fame. How about you just say congratulations Adam Carolla, or don’t say anything now. Jimmy Kimmel was there at the ceremony.

Kimmel said, Adam and I, as you probably know, don’t agree much when it comes to politics. But I love him dearly. I’ve never worked with anyone funny or I’m proud of him. This is guy worked his way up from nothing to become literally a millionaire. And if you don’t believe it, you’ll hear him say at every single show.

Schneider, who was not at the ceremony, had to jump on Twitter and said, have a friend like Adam Carolla who’s able to set aside the most egregious whiny. He hates viewing leftists lying even about murder bs and still be a pel all at uh is believed to be about Jimmy Kimmel, Adam, congratulations on your well deserved star and your loyalty above ideology. Greg Proops has a new album. It is called Kidding but Still. It’s available via a Special Thing Records group.

Recorded at the Punchline in San Francisco on New Year’s Eve for the fifth year in a row, he did a spontaneous set of tales from the road, improvvel’s pointed political observations, and more. It is his tenth live comedy album. Jamel Johnson’s third album is available for pre order. It’ll be out on June twelfth. That’s called mid Range.

On mid Range, Johnson brings levity to serious topics like the racial biases of artificial intelligence, the way men encourage toxic masculinity, and the pros and cons of being a fat boyfriend. There are also some hyper specific references like phone game ads, basketball, ice hockey and living with an iPod Touch instead of a phone. The Guardian caught up with Nish Kumar now. They point out, while they were doing the interview, there was a big poster promoting prime videos last one Laughing UK and in the center of the frame is Jimmy Carr, The Guardian reminds us. In Kumore’s last stand up show, he recalled the time he confronted Jimmy Carr about Jimmy Carr’s decision to appear on Jordan Peterson’s podcast.

The Guardian tells us Kumore is initially as it into criticizes fellow comics, saying all I’m thinking right now is a single phrase. You should not be allowed to give interviews. But soon he was calling out Jimmy Carr, Bill Bird, Dave Chappelle and Jack Whitehall were playing a part in the quotes cultural washing of a repressive regime. All that about the Riod Comedy Festival, I imagine he found the participation of those who have complained about cancel culture egregious. Kumore said, I don’t want to hear about free speech from any of those sea words again.

He tells us he’s not living like a superstar. No one I know of his level of wealth where they have transcended the mechanism of day to day life. That’s a Jimmy Carr level of money. We found out that Kumar even turned down last one, laughing when his agent laid the offer. She told him the money was really good and that Jimmy Carr was hosting.

Nish said, I said to her, do honestly think I could say yes to this given the content of what I’m saying on stage right now. If I’m essentially accusing him of being part of the mechanism that’s wondering fascist, misogynist ideas in the mainstream discourse, I can’t then be like, oh, Jimmy, isn’t Bob Mortimer good? And that is your comedy news for today. You can follow a show on Spotify, and you could turn on notifications so you never miss an episode, And you can also use the comments section on Spotify to chime in on any of this if you’d like to. And there’s also the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group And I’ll see here tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. And there I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. We’re still talking about the roast of Kevin Hard. THEO Vaughn and Nperghetzi got into it on THEO Vaughan’s This past Weekend podcast. I’m not sure what the hell these two were talking about.

I’m not even sure THEO actually watched the roast. Based upon we’re about to hear, I have made some editing for pacing. As THEO goes on at some point about nothing. None of the roasters I don’t think had a problem with the jokes. Oh wait, except for Chelsea Handler.

Did I think Chelsea Hander came out and said that she has some problem with you some of Shane and Tony’s jokes? Maybe? Yeah, I don’t think with the roast. I think was Shane and Tony. Yeah, yeah, can’t pole it down?

Good call. She kind of said the Yeah, it was like, I know about all the jokes, mainly Shane and Tony. Do you feel like in that kind of instance, if people are signing up for something like that, it feels like it’s like fair game, unless it’s like vile. You know, maybe I. Think it’s got to all be fair games signing up for it.

I mean it’s like like, I know, you know, it’s like one of those like where are you gonna say? The line is, Uh, the Roast have just they’ve just I believe we’ve gotten to the spirit of the roast is kind of gone. You’re you’re not really having people on there that love each other, and so if there’s no love shown, then uh, it’s it’s it just gets mean and uh, you know. And but I mean not saying that they did they did what they were asked to do. I thought they a lot of them did a great job.

You know. I was very happy for Big Jay Everson killed it. Some of the feeling that you get with it, it’s like it’s intense, it’s funny, and some of it is like some of it is kind of like, yeah, what feeling do I really leave here within the end? Right? Like I leave with some temporary highs?

For sure? Oh that was crazy. That was creative. Even something that’s edgy and dark can be still be very creative. But yeah, some of it it’s like this, some of this really make me feel good or it does like, yeah, I think.

I thought Kevin Hart did great handling a lot of it too, because yeah, it was like he wasn’t you know, he you know, kept saying like this is what you signed up for, and yeought the messaging was good from him afterwards, like because I mean it was like such a tough crazy it’s crazy. Nate’s out promoting The Breadwinner. The reviews are not so good. From the Hollywood Reporter and Aperghetsi’s big screen vehicle is inoffensive to the point of total boredom. Hr roads.

This is all supposed to be riotously amusing, and perhaps could have been if we hadn’t seen it handled in so much funnier fashion and nearly every family sitcom ever created at such movies as Mister Mom. But even forgetting its predecessors, The Breadwinner is so lazy and laid back that it practically recedes into itself. This is a film that makes television shows like Father Knows Best and My Three Sons seem edgy Forgetsi’s resolutely deadpand comic person. It works well for a stand upback, but on screen he seems mostly on the verge of a coma. In a recurring gag, Nate blows an airhorn to get people’s attention.

It may be the only thing that will keep audience members awake. Wow. The av Club’s review was and Aprighetzi’s girl Dad comedy The Breadwinner is more painful than funny geez. Stephen A Smith has commented on the roast of Kevin Hart because during the Roast of Kevin Hart, Kevin Hart mentioned stephen A Smith. I have made lots of edits to this upcoming clip.

The original version that I pulled is six minutes long. Steven A speaks very deliberately, so I had to chop it down. We can’t do a six minute clip. But I just want to be clear. I don’t mean to take away from the point that mister Smith was making.

Hopefully my edit here is fair, but I have quite trimmed this down to hopefully get to the point mister Smith was trying to make. Kevin Hart made a pointed joke about his personal Mount Rushmore of racism lest the people he claims hate black people alongside Jane Shane Gillis, Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan. Kevin Hard included my name quote my Mount Rushmore of racism when it comes to hating black people is Shane Gillis, Kid Rock Hulk Hogan, Stephen A. Smith. Those are my four people when it comes to hating black people.

The joke came during a roast segment where Heart was targeting Shane Gillis, the event’s host, and then expanded to a broader critique of several public figures. Obviously, everybody knows me to be a sports commentator known for my outspoken opinions, and I’m considered an individual that’s been the subject of controversies over the years. Okay, you know I tried to. First of all, I got the least. I thought I had pretty damn good relationship with Kevin Hart.

It’s been on my show on many occasions. I’ve known her for years. I don’t know. I mean, it’s a roast, but you know, he’s getting crucified because a lot of people felt like too many jokes at this particular roaster was tasteless. My attitude is a roast is a roast, and people are there to be attacked.

He’s gotten attacked all of that other stuff. Anybody expecting me to go after Kevin Hart, you got the wrong man. I’ve always had a lot of love for him. I will continue to have a lot of love for him. I think he’s a good man and a great comedian who’s highly successful and a good dude.

And I’m just I was just taken aback by it, because obviously it’s the kind of narrative that a few have tried to give the impression that the many feel about me. Kevin Hart may have been telling the joke. It may have been the latest tasteless one. That he told. I have no issue with the joke if it was a joke, if it wasn’t the joke, if it wasn’t a joke, I still wouldn’t have an issue with it.

I have an issue with the fact that it came from him, somebody that I kind of know a little bit, that got a lot of love and respect for. I could respond more vitriolically, but I won’t, more incendiary. But I won’t because Kevin Hart has never, once in this lifetime, did anything to me that deserves that. Jeff Foxworthy has a new special out today on Fox Nation. This one called The Jokes On Me.

It was filmed at the Gasole Theater in du Luth, Georgia. In The Jokes On Me, Jeff Foxworthy jokes about family, aging and everyday moments The Jokes On Me also uses behind the scenes in documentary footage and shows how some of the material is developed for the stage. Jeff Foxworthy said, comedy has always been about finding the funny in everyday life, but people don’t always get to see the work in the process behind it. I’m grateful to Fox Nation for understanding the vision I had for the special and giving me the chance to share that journey with the audience. Jeff was a game show host at one point.

He might want to thank Howie Mandel because Howie Mandel took credit for everybody. Speaking to the CBC how we talked about back in the day, being asked if he would host A Deal or No Deal, Howie Mandel said, a game show would have been the nail in the coffin of my career. If your currency was irony in comedy, you don’t want to be a game show host. So I said no, and then they called me back an hour later and they said, come on, they can’t do it without you, and they’re going to put it in prime time five nights in one week, and I go even more of a nail in the coffin of my career. They persisted.

One of them met Howie Mandel in a deli. The game show rep even brought a cardboard cutout of Deal or No Deal and had how we play it right there in the Delhi how He says, I go home, I tell my wife, I tell her the story. She goes, so go do it. They’re offering your money. You think your career is crap anyway, so what the hell?

So he does it. Then I get a call from the guy who came out to the Daily saying, you’re not gonna believe it. In the first week, one hundred million people watch over the five nights, all those comics that you see now doing game shows. You’re welcome. Robert Lloyd, writing for The La Times, really likes Jane Wickline.

Lloyd writes, I know from online testimonials that I’m not the only person who loves Wickline, just as I know that there are those who do not like her at all, to put it mildly, who believe she has no place on Saturday Night Live. Who are those people? I’ve never met any of those people, And of course it’s more than possible you have no idea who I’m talking about, says Robert Lloyd. There’s the SNL Jane, best known for the song she urgently performs during Week and Update. But there’s also TikTok Jane, who began making one woman multiple character sketches in twenty twenty.

More so than many cast members who wear their pedigrees on her sleeve, she generates a feeling of well, well, what do we have here? With no easy immediate answer. The fact that she’s so polarizing is, in a way recommendation. She’s different. She’s a mystery.

Nearly all her TikTok skins, it’s Wickline plays all the parts, cutting back and forth, sometimes distinguishing the characters only by the tops they wear. The camera angle in the background. Wicklin doesn’t need me to defend her. She may not be a typical cast member. She doesn’t do impressions, for one thing, and I can’t imagine her in the sort of SNL film The comedy players have been graduating too, though David Lynch might have a part for her or Wes Anderson.

GQ wrote a ridiculous piece calling Marcelo Hernandez the boy Prince of comedy. GQ asked, Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing? One thing? Well, if he would turn Domingo into a movie character. Marcelo Hernandez says, maybe, who knows.

I’d be grateful, but ultimately, now it’s a strategic thing. I have to listen when it comes to movies because it’s not where I started. I have to listen and learn. That’s what I’m trying to do now. Study film the way I studied stand up.

Then try to get as knowledgeable and then do the work. Gossip Conna whispers in the street. Gossip con probably a bout pie gossip conn Aware. The rumors meet with Johnny macke it’s always a tree. I will wind up singing that half the afternoon.

I’m just it’s so catchy. There’s a website. It’s Rob Shooter. He’s a gossip calumnist. I go to his site sometimes when I’m prepping Pallace Intrigue, which is our sister podcast about the royal family.

He floated an interesting theory about what’s going on with Chelsea Handler and Tony Hinchcliff. According to Shooter. Sources say at the roast, Chelsea Handler appeared openly flirtatious around Tony Hinchcliff during rehearsals and backstage, clearly enjoying the edgy comics attention and energy. The problem Tony had zero romantic interest in her. An insider says Chelsea was absolutely giddy around Tony backstage, laughing extra hard, hovering around him, touching his arm.

Everyone noticed it immediately. Another insider said Tony wanted nothing romantic with Chelsea. He liked the attention, but it wasn’t interested in her in that way. A source claims Tony felt Chelsea came after him harder once she realized he wasn’t interested, and when Tony feels attacked, he goes scorched earth. This wasn’t just comics roasting each other.

There were real feelings involved. That’s all kinds of fun. The Toronto Guardians sometimes catches up with Toronto based comedians. I enjoy these. I like exposing all of us, myself included, to comedians that maybe are off our radar.

One of them is Toronto based comedian Alex Wood. We’re told to think of Nirvana if Kurt Cobain were a regional comic, workshopping jokes about marriage and McDonald’s all right, I’m interested, the Guardian says, drawing inspiration from everything from Charles dickens to Whoope cushions. Alex Wood’s comedy blends dry observation with chaotic sincerity. Alex Wood, who is your favorite comedian growing up? Nor McDonald?

A close second would be Sabrina the Teenage Witch? Favorite comedian now Josh Johnson and Dylan Gatt. Pre show ritual, I draw a pentagram on the floor and then I write out my set list in the blood of a trangit drifter that I’ve murdered no one will miss. After I make this fastian deal, I shave off all my body here and scream into a mirror. You can do this favorite place you’ve performed?

This answer is wonderful. Last week I performed in a bowling alley in Perth, Ontario, and it made me fall in love with the Art Forum all over again. After the show, there’s a drunk man from the audience who gave me some excellent jokes. I could do it my next skit. Alex Wood’s favorite part of Toronto is the hipster part of Toronto.

It’s called Toronto Canadian’s like you’re over pronouncing that. I’m supposed to swallow that second tea right like Toronto. I could do that if I focus Toronto, Toronto, Toronto, Toronto, Toronto, I’ll to check in with Canadian consultant Mike Chisholm from the Letterman podcast. But he’s out west, who knows how he pronounces everything?

And then is your comedy news for today.

You can follow the show on Spotify and you could turn on the notifications badge and then you’ll get a little notification that says, hey, there’s a new episode, and then you’ll want to listen to the new episode. You can also go on Spotify and comment on the show there. And for June, we’re doing this big exciting thing. Everybody ready, you gotta take part in this. Okay, you’re gonna tell somebody else about the show.

I assume you like the show, you know what, even if you don’t, even if you think the show sucks, tell somebody about it. Be like, I hate this show. This idiot talks about Adam Sandler. He’s got this dumb song about gossip that he thinks it’s catchy. If you hate it, share it with somebody, or if you like it, let somebody know about the show.

So either share it from your favorite app or just tell them about it. At the bar, I don’t know that’s what we’re doing. In June, we just decided. I came back from a podcast conference and this is one of the big ideas. We spent twenty five hundred dollars going to London.

This is the big idea. We’re gonna ask the listeners to share the show. So you’re gonna do this for me? Right, Yes, appreciate you. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Jenny Mack with You’re Daily cow Many News. Tom Sagora was the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. Oh, I keep forgetting to mention. I’ve been watching Bad Thoughts season two.

I really like that show. The writing is so crisp, with the production is pretty impressive too, Like, the show looks great, but the idea is that Tom Sagora has come up with for Bad Thoughts just fantastic. I really enjoyed the sketch Black to School anyway. Yeah. Sagora was on with Rogan the topic the perceived decline of Los Angeles.

Eli is it’s crazy. I’m so fascinated by the people because I you know, we both have a lot of friends. There a lot of people, and there’s this There’s two types now, the ones who acknowledge that this is different and then the delusional ones. Because people are I know a lot of people who are like, yeah, of course it’s different. You’re like, hey, you can see it.

You could see this as a different place than it was several years ago.

And then there’s people who are like, no, man, everything’s fine.

You’re like, you’re not in reality right now. Well, they probably had seven or eight boosters, so maybe they’re not thinking so straight. Established comedian Hollywood insider Nikki Glaser says she’s not invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding. No way, No, Blazer told Entertainment Tonight, of course, not me. No should be smart not to invite me.

Honestly, I look forward to the greeny helicopter pictures that I see of it eventually, but that’s all I should get.

Meanwhile, the Star tells us Nikki Glaser is networking like crazy hoping to …

A source sells Jen is very aware of Nicky’s publicly professed admiration of her, and she knows she has to pass the baton of being America’s rom com sweetheart to somebody. Oh please, who in Glazers camp plant it that quote? Yeah, Jennifer Aniston is passing the baton of being America’s rom com sweetheart to forty one year old Nikki Glee Stop. But Jen is also realistic about what it takes to forge a decades long career in the spotlight while keeping up a solid fan base who will follow you and your work anywhere. The Star reminds us Glazer got her big break at twenty twenty four at the roast of Tom Brady.

If you heard Friday Show, I shared some comments with Nikki Glaser, who I don’t think wants to be a roast comedian. The source says, if Nicki keeps pushing herself out of her comfort zone, She’s gonna have a cheerleader and a potential co star in Jen. With the balls in Nicky’s court right now, as she makes the first steps towards translating her comedy and award show fame Stop Award Show, fame, the Golden Globes twice stop It’s Joe Koy has hosted the Golden Globes once. Do I need to remind you that I have a clip? I can play the clip?

It is something bigger, like starring in major films, which is Nicki’s goal at the moment. No Way, No. In October, Variety announced Nikki Glaser will write and star in an edgy romantic comedy. The sore says, Jen is watching with great interest to see how Nicki handles this challenge and rolls with the punk. Nobody’s more aware than Jen that the road can get bumpy and if Nikki shows real resilience in staying power and she navigates a changing Hollywood, only then is she going to get Jen’s full endorsement and potential collaboration.

Who is putting this out of the universe? Oh my goodness, such nonsense. Star Trek R Winner Patton Oswalt was discussing Bill Maher sucking up to the President of the United States. Here’s Patent speaking with Dean Obadallah. The reason that Trump is turning on Bill Maher is because Bill tried to, I’m sure, with good intentions, tried to placate him, and you can’t do that with him by defying Trump.

This is gonna sound kind of weird. Colbert and Kimmel, Yeah, Trump hates them, but he hates them because they don’t love him. He wants them to love him, and then the minute they love him, he has zero respect for them because deep down he hates himself. So you just have to stick with your guns and just go, yeah, this guy sucks. You know, in the long run, it will it will pay out, And anyone, anyone who does business with Trump, you would just think basic greed would make you want to defy him, cause anyone that does business with him, you get destroyed.

Send your letters to Paton Oswald. Rick and Morty might become a movie. I still haven’t watched the last season. The first season after they changed the voice of Rick was kind of flat. Though it was a while.

You could have ingested that show into my veins. And I still haven’t watched all of last season yet, or any of last season yet. And I think there’s a new season about to come out, or might even be out now. I don’t know. I’m talking about making a movie version of this why lot details I’ve not been shared for the film that is in early development.

In twenty twenty three, series creator Dan Herman told The Hollywood Reporter, my philosophy would just be take a Rick and Morty adventure and spend a bunch of extra money on it and make it ninety minutes long, not to try to earn its future status by virtual of canonical dramatic tone shifts or anything like that, but rather just make it a super badass episode of Rick and Morty. Derek Stroop to WRIF why he lives in New York City despite being from Alabama, Yrk said, I mean it was truly just a business move. I mean, can you imagine if I said it was for quality flying. I mean, that wouldn’t make it any sense. Like I said, when you have this accent and life on stage, people try to put you in a box all the time.

They think he got pretty pins. So I lived in Denver for nine years and then I moved here to New York City just to show people that I’m not doing some pitchfork and overall type of comedy. I’m like Bill Burr, raised in the woods. He’s had to fight the perception of being a Southern comic. And you know, I am a Southern comic.

I’m a country dude. But that’s not my whole story. I’ve got the type of comedy that people from anywhere can enjoy. It’s not like I can get up there and do a bit about gardening squash and lose the crowd. You know, it’s pretty down the middle stuff for everybody.

He’s been a comedy mentor to Nate Berghatzy. Now Nate Burghatzy discussed his own comedy mentor. Nate said, I remember seeing Bill Burr when I first started. He was a little older than me, and I watched him get Letterman and all these check marks. I was starting comedy and he was seeing this guy and it was so funny, and then the world was figuring out how funny was Because Nate think being clean hindered his career.

He said, when it was starting to come up in two thousand and eight, everything was going that edgy or rude. I thought, if I was a comedian in the eighties or nineties, I probably would have had a quicker assent as I fit in with that era. Being clean out auditioned for an R rated comedy, think I’m not gonna feel comfortable doing this. That was hard, because you want to do those movies. I did struggle with it.

I was very tempted, but then I thought, let me stay in my lane and if anything comes, I’ve definitely got some lines. I wouldn’t cross cursing anything sexual in my standup. Even though it’s clean, it’s adult topics. I could ride this line. Rick Ferguson said he made a decision to build an entire show around comedy and personal stories rather than in politics.

He told the View, I’m sick of people that I agree with, never mind people I don’t agree with. I’m just like let’s take an hour and a half. I’ll go on stage. I’ll tell you a bunch of jokes, do some stuff, tell some stories. The end of it, all the stuff you’re angry about is still there.

You can have it back. I’m not taking it from you. Was a choice I made for myself, like could I do it? Could I fill a whole show with no politics? And it turns out I can’t.

Margaret Chow says, I hate Donald Trump. I hate how stupid he is. I hate how stupid. We made the most important job in the world, which is the presidency. We allow for this idiotic, incompetent, incoherent, incontinent narcissist to side every day whether we should live or die.

It’s a nightmare. We as a world are forced to be led by this monstrosity. It’s really funny to me.

---

Also, it’s really horrendous.

The greatest hope is that he’s impeached, removed, and then imprisoned. I do see a way of that happening. Send your letters to Margaret Show from The Toronto Guardian. Their Tragedy Plus Time, a series where they speak to local comedians. Today it’s David Seely David practices old school, authentic, unfiltered and honest comedy shaped by folks like at Red Fox, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle.

Could have left Eddie out of that. Eddie’s a Richard Pryor cover actor as great as he is. Favorite comedian growing up, Eddie Murphy. I get it. Then you get a little older and you watch Richard Pryor sets and you go, oh, I see what Eddie is doing.

Favorite comedian right now, Dave Chappelle, what do you like about Toronto? Toronto is at all from legal weed on every corner, at least five different kinds of pink eye, and a hockey team that’s been practicing social distancing with the Stanley Cup. Ali Sadik talked about crowd work. He is at not a slapstick and I do do crowd work, and you have to be able to follow storylines on I don’t. People can do it.

That’s how I know Game of Thrones is so big. People watch movies. If you’re coming to see a shows, be on time. That’s the biggest thing. The later we start, the shorter my show gets for you.

And I prefer to do anywhere from an hour to an hour thirty. Dean Cole told the La Times about crowd work. He said, if something happens while I’m doing my stuff, then fine, But I’m not going to create a crowd work environment. If it happens, it happens, but I’m not going to purposely create it. And I mean teach his own to do that.

And there’s some people. We are very funny at it, and there’s some people like what are you doing? And for a lot of audience members, I feel like they’re being tricked a lot of times because a lot of comedians they get up there and they’re doing a meet and greet. Hey, what’s your name? What do you do for a living?

How many kids you got? Do that at the meet and greet? Why are you standing up here for forty five minutes getting to know everybody? Four? Where are your jokes?

If people like it, you know, what do you do about it? But I’m old school with the craft. I like written comedy. I like storytelling. I like hearing something I’ve never heard before.

I don’t like sitting in the audience laughing at somebody’s name or what they do for a living, or who they’re with. My brain isn’t learning that way. I mean, people love it. It’s a younger audience that I think really love it. Even though older people love it, don’t get me wrong, but the majority, I think it’s a younger on Granted, there’s an audience for that.

You can give me a crowd work. Let’s hear about you. Who are you? What happened to you today? That’s what’s funny.

While of the great comics got sitcoms, why because you can listen to their jokes and see the show, and then they go create the show off what they were talking about. You can see this. So when you have a comic and they leave and you go, who was that person? You can’t remember the comics name, you know what I mean. I think it’s just let people know who you are, because that’s what makes you unique.

You can’t just go out and tell joke after joke after joke. Anybody could tell jokes, but it’s who’s telling the joke that makes it great. That that’s your comedy news for today.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. All right, Kevin Hart, what’s the deal with you and Kat Williams? Kevin Hart was on the Breakfast Club and dropped a lot of fbombs. So Johnny Mac has made some edits for language.

No, man, Cat have been we’ve we’ve reconciled. How long prior? No, probably like maybe eight months ago? What bought? Maybe?

How did that happen? Because everybody knows the infamous club station if you plus you’ve been taking a shot at you for years? Right? What happened? Kat and I had a conversation, conversation, a private conversation between me and Kat.

But the baseline was like, we’re older. This is years and years and years of there’s no reason why we shouldn’t like figure out a world of compromise where we can get along and we can give the fan base something different with us, something that’s unexpected, and figure out a way to work together, right, figure out a way to frame the comedy minds that we both have and put them at the table. Cat thought it was time to do it, as did I. Shook hands. Great conversation, great dialogue, The first thing that came up, of course, was the rose.

When the opportunity for the ross came up, reached out the cat. It’d be dope if you did it, Kat said. We just got in a good space. KeV. If I do it, I’m gonna do it.

I said, have ad it. Cat had ad it. And our conversations are private. Like. That’s another thing too, man.

I’m not big runningto the microphone and telling personal business the an adult, Go call the person, go call whatever, whomever. Have a conversation. After that conversation has had, that’s your all business. I think Kat’s business is ours. We are in a good spot, thankfully, finally, and it’s a good feeling when you can say like you’ve put the problems of old behind you right once again.

Forty six I mean fifty soon. That’s half your life, man. Josh Johnson talked with the Extra instead of his recent special. I think for this one, my overall concept and the way that all came together feels very different. It’s something that’s never happened before.

For the level of support that I have in the amount of time twenty six seconds that we have to come up with something really unique. I mean, I can’t say enough, like the straight up support has been very special, very thankful. What does it take to do, especially, says I mean, at first you have to have an hour’s worth of things to say that would help.

And then in this case, I worked on the concept with the director for the spec…

Like it’s kind of a miracle that it all came together. I feel very strongly that the future of the form is breaking free from a standard model, and I think we did that with this, and I look forward to doing it in the future. How does it come up jokes? I just don’t do anything else. I think it’s mostly just the things I find interesting were the things I think that other people might skip through the day, Like I’m fascinated by things that are mundane and pretty boring, which has been good for the most part.

It’s been good for that fodder because it’s all something we share and there’s sort of a universal aspect there and you can pull from it endlessly because we all engage with some of the stuff differently. For example, I don’t know when’s the last time you took the bus, but the bus now versus the bus before the war’s very different. Like initially when you were taking the bus before the war and Iran, you were just taking the bus, and now you’re taking the bus with people who know they have a car but can’t afford gas right now, so it’s a much angrier bus. Josh Johnson Symphony is on HBO. Max Marlon Wayne’s explain how he’s able to remain friends with Dave Chappelle while also supporting Marlin’s trans Son Kai Way instead of Chappelle.

Dave’s intention isn’t to punch down Wayne’s sold variety. I wouldn’t hang with Dave if he was full of eight I don’t hang with people like that. I know Dave’s heart, and his intention is not to punch down. Dave wants to freely tell his jokes, and if you’re gonna be anti comedy, then he’s going to keep attacking you, so you learn to have a sense of humor. He’s just standing there and defending his front line as a comedian.

As a comedian, I respect his journey, and as a friend, I respect his journey and for my child. I respect their journey, and as the father of my child, I could appropriate my feelings toward my friend and my feelings toward my child, and how we could put those two things together and I can explain both sides on between them, so I can explain both sides to each other. All my kids are gifts and our love is the wrapping paper. I’m not here for hate. Transphobia is a form of hate.

Homophobia is a form of hate. Racism is a form of hate. Although small hearted, simple minded people, there’s a hell for you. And if you think you’re going to bully my child, go somewhere else. It’s not gonna happen.

I won’t stand for it. Star Trek ruiner Patton Oswalts shared with Variety what Patton Oswalt watches with his daughter. He did not mention Star Trek, which he helped to ruin. Some of the things they watch includes stand up comedy. Star Trek grown her.

Patent Oswalt said there’s certain comedians like Mitch Hedberg and Ria Bamford. I’ll show her bits of online this summer. I’m going to watch the original Richard Pryor live in concert with her just to show how a true master the form a person staying with just a microphone can create words in your head. Patton said, I’m gonna take her to see weird Al this year. His daughter was friends with weird Al’s daughter, who has now graduated college, but they first got together when they were little.

That’s nice. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her. She of course, shared some photos of her boating vacation on Instagram. The photos were captioned travel. Amy shared twenty pictures showing Amy Schumer jet skiing, paddleboarding, and soaking up the sun on a yacht.

Amy Schumer wore a red sweatsuit and black life vest and is sharing her weight loss journey of over fifty pounds. Upworthy caught up with Pete Holmes. Some people thought Pete Holmes is a little edgier than he used to be. Up Worthy was like, so you feel like it’s not you’re making a choice to be edgier, You’re just doing you. Pete said, oh, yeah, that’s how material shows up too.

I always liking to it if you ever got an Amazon package on your doorstep and you don’t even remember what it is. That happens every day in my house. That’s how the material shows up. I’m not trying to be a flashy artist like, oh, I’m just the vessel. I’m just saying I’m living my life and certain things come up right down.

I perform them, people like them, and then you have about an hour and ten minutes of that and you have a show. As for clean comedy, the line has moved. Pete Holmes said, I think it’s very possible that someone does what’s considered clean comedy, meaning they’re not talking about their penis or sex or about drugs, and they’re not swearing, they’re not saying the seven words, right, and that comedy can be toxic, it can be ugly, it can be encouraging really backwards thinking and harmful ideologies. Right by the way, I’ll defend someone’s right to be able to do that. I’m just saying what I see sometimes, and I think it’s quite possible to talk about drugs and your penis and the existence of sex and say all the seven words and do a joke that’s really beautiful.

In fact, I think that’s part of the message. I’m not ashamed. I don’t choose my thoughts, I don’t choose my feelings. I’m here to report on them and laugh at them and thereby take away some of their power. Now, did I say F Yes, But if that’s your line in the sand, whether or not, a comic says, f that’s fine.

That was me for the first twenty eight years of my life. It’s not my line anymore. And I’m happy to say there are lots and lots of people that are nuanced, that are lovely, compassionate, generous, interesting, interested people that aren’t turned off by the full human experience. By the way, I love clean comedy too. It’s just like, I don’t think clean necessary.

That early means it’s going to be mean or ugly or somehow harmful. I don’t think ugly means you swear. Radar Online says Bill Cosby is so desperate for money. How desperate is he? Bill Cosby’s so desperate for money that to pay off a massive civil judgment granted to one of his victims, he has slashed the price on his New York City townhouse by more than seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to track buyers as quickly as possible.

A source tells Radar he’s desperate to raise money and clearly willing to do just about anything necessary to do. So, you should volunteer for a roast. Can you imagine, boy? That would be amazing? Sourza said, is once estimated four hundred million dollar fortune had shrunk to an estimated one hundred and twenty eight million dollars.

In March, at California court ordered Bill Cosby to pay fifty nine million dollars to a former waitress who a LA jury determined he’d attacked in nineteen seventy two. The townhouse originally went on the market for a price tag of six point nine to nine million dollars. It’s now at five point nine nine million dollars. Someday Bill Cosby will pass away and I will tell a story on this very program. The Toronto Guardian does a wonderful series called Tragedy plus Time when they talk to local comedians, one of them Shanil Patel.

We are told Shanil Blend’s sign Feldian observations with Larry David level of frustration, balancing clean, clever premises with the occasional unhinged detour. Mittel says, I mostly joke about my marriage and securities, frustrations and brownness. People tell me my delivery is smug and lethargic, but apparently not in a bad way. Favorite comedian growing up, Rowan Atkinson is mister Bean. You don’t see that answer a lot.

Favorite comedian right now Nate Berganzi Josh Johnson impresses me the most pre show ritual pacing while trying to remember my joke. Order. Favorite bit you’ve written, Bettel says, I’ve been working out a bit about learning French that I’m proud of because it’s clean. My other favorite new bit is one called Grandpa’s penis Mold, which is less clean. And that is your comedy news for today.

Caloroga Shark Media. Did we not do a roast of Tom Brady last year? Do people really not understand what the roast is? Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. I thought today it was going to be all about Date Berghezzi and the Breadwinner, but Kevin Hart and people had other ideas.

Kevin Hart went on the Breakfast Club and spoke with the Charlottmage, the God and Crewe have a few clips from Kevin Hart himself. Here he is discussing the joke about George Floyd. Yeah, the Joyce flore joke. It wasn’t a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience. But our audience that’s watching the roast.

If you’re watching the roast, you get why they’re doing it. You get why the racial humor is is on the table. Like it’s not. I wasn’t shocked, Like that’s what they do. Go and look at the Tom Brady one, like that’s what they do.

It’s it happens every year when they do a roast. It’s not new. This isn’t a new it’s not a new agenda. It’s not a new approach to comedy. Do you feel like Tony Hinchcliffe went too far when he made that joke about George Woff.

It’s Tony Hinchcliffe, Like, I don’t like I don’t expect less, I don’t expect more. I feel I feel like you’re saying going too far as the point I don’t know if it was, yes, I mean, that’s why you’re there. Kevin’s response did not go so well on social media. When person said things can be zero percent your fault and one hundred percent your responsibility. Another said wow, yeah, Kevin, you lost me with this one.

You could have been honest and said, yes, he went too far with that joke. Kevin said, Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set or one of the best sets. Pete Davidson had a great set too. But that but not even just that joke. I don’t like when people joke about violent tragic death.

I like Pete sitting and I was like, you have to say, I mean Pete, Pete went. Pete had a great set too. Pete had a Charlie Kurk joking Like would I tell those jokes? No? But do I get why they’re being told?

Yes, Like I’m not looking at Pete crazy I’m not looking at Tony like that’s what. I know what you’re going to do. I know your style of comedy. Kevin said, whatever the dialogue is, my rebuttal is simplicity. Remove me from it.

I didn’t say it. If you’re upset that the night went on, that’s a different conversation. It’s nothing I could do. It’s a production. Tony Hinchcliff discussed the roast unkilled Sony, so I’m edit’s here for language.

Evan Hart was something else. Huh, it’s the first time I’ve been called a Nazi multiple times in just a few hours. I guess that’s what la writers’ rooms, all these a lot of mentally ill liberals out there that somehow, with all these blacks and Jews and Mexicans around me, I guess I’m a Nazi somehow. I guess the guy that pulls names out of a bucket, giving everybody an opportunity is a Nazi. Isn’t that something?

And I got called a Nazi, gay, a racist, and over again. I’m none of those three things. A little fun fact, but they are what they are, fat ugly black Jewish. Everything I said was real about them, just a reminder. And Tony doesn’t seem none too pleased with Chelsea Handler.

There’s news articles because the news isn’t real. Nothing is real that say that I got lit up by Chelsea Handler, which is very, very funny because that’s not what happened at all. You can’t believe anything you see or read on the news anymore. You have to actually watch the thing for yourself. She was a bit of a coup, I’ll tell you that.

She just kept she just kept coming at me over she said, I went took the Saudi Arabia money. She was like wrong about things. The writers just didn’t do her any justice. But then and then the teleprompter. The fun fact the teleprompter h only went down during my set, and and it gave me a lot of opportunity to remind Chelsea Handler what she looks like and where her life.

Is Hollywood inside her established comedian Nikki Glaser, whose career was made by the Tom Brady Roost Wade in and Uh, you can hear the coolness sucking out of the room for Nicky Glazer, establishment comedian. I loved watching it. I love anything that’s like watching a live comedy event. It’s so the stakes are so high. It’s I was glad to be watching it not doing it, because it’s just like it’s nerve wrecking and it’s like it really sends your nervous system through a lot of trauma to do one of.

Those just got a little PTSD watching. Honestly, I was like so nervous for everyone. But I honestly had a great time. And you know, there was some stuff that I didn’t love, and there was other stuff that I thought was great. You know, like people have so many opinions about it, and I’m going to keep my opinions to myself and just keep talking about them in my group chats with by other comedian friends about who what we think about it, And I’m not gonna make a public okay.

But tell me who’s on that group chat, what other comedian. Just like the funniest people I know in town. And you know, oh, just I’ve talked to every comedian about it. Everyone’s talking about and that’s the good thing, you know, like Netflix did a good job of making something that is And the thing about like I don’t believe that jokes can’t be made that are racist jokes, ironically racist jokes, though the problem is not that it’s racist. Is that it’s like sometimes you got to find a way.

If you really want to do a joke, you got to find a way to make it make sense. You can’t just like say it and out of nowhere just be like this, you know. I think that’s the thing that I feel like. I think that’s what people are having a problem with. Is not like the nature of the jokes, because I do love roast for how anything can be said in all all bets are off and but you but that’s not so easy.

You have to make it palatable. Matt Rife was at the ACM Awards on the red carpet. He was asked, did you watch the Kevin Hart roast. Matt Raife said, I didn’t get a chance to the entire thing, but I mean my feed is obviously filled with clips from it, and I think everybody on there crushed it. Dude.

It was brutal, but as a roast should be. The interviewer was like, but so some people have complained about parts of it. Matt cut them off and said, shut up, then don’t watch it. It’s a roast. Everybody there is gonna be made fun of.

It’s supposed to push the boundaries of all forms of comedy. For a roast, it’s supposed to be mean spirited, but you don’t actually mean it. Everyone there loves each other. Now our other topic today, Nate Bergazzi’s The Breadwinner is out. You’re probably listening to this while online.

Outside the theater. There’s probably lines around the block. People can’t get enough of it. Variety has their review, their headline The Breadwinter Review. Nate Berghazzi bumbles through a domestic comedy that thinks incompetent dads are still funny.

Spoilers The film’s second echoes a little like this. Nate trips on the stairs while doing laundry. Nate burns the toast during breakfast. Nate crashes the car while distracted during school drop off. An array of familiar comedy phases clog up the film’s periphery, including Colin jostas Connor, the town seemingly only others stay at home, Dad and Cameil Nanciani Jesus Peyton, a competing Toyota salesman.

Both funk essentially is extrastential fluff. Jose leans on his punchable persona as Connor, while non Jehanny’s running joke hangs on Peyton’s muscle bound physique. The big problem with The Breadwinner isn’t its sense of humor, but it’s confused message. The film begins with the division of labor that, however much it resembles a mid century sitcom, appears to work well for both Nate and Katie. So why during Nate’s inevitable third act moral of the story speech, does he insist that his month at home has been the best of his life.

Meanwhile, I’ve been sitting on this one until today. The Wall Street Journal wrote about the theme park. Now, before we even get into this, I pulled some clips here. Here’s what people on the internet are saying about the theme park idea. At Captain Kathleen wrote, does anybody beside Nate actually want this?

That’s how I feel about this drink. Jena Aide said, I was okay with it until he named it after himself. Sorry, no, Jennifer Sturger wrote, plays roller coaster Tycoon once dot dot dot Chris Ramirez Ford takes some real narcissism to build your own nameland, to chronicling your life. Let’s see what the Journal learned lear from Nate Brighetzi about this, the journal tells us. To help make Nateland happen, The comedian convince his neighbor to be a chief executive.

Felix Vertigius was a partner at consulting firm KPMG before Nate poached him. They hired a lobbyist and started wooing wealthy and powerful people around Nashville for support. They contracted with Storyland Studios, a California firm filmed by a lums of Disney Universal Studios in Legoland to design the park. Nate’s team picked a site in the Nashville metro, secured most of the land through an investor, but declined to make the location public before negotiations are complete. Tax incentives have been identified for the project, which has state and local support.

According to authorities involved, they’ll start raising capital this summer.

All right, here’s the still evolving design.

Are you ready for this? You’re not. Visitors would enter through a nineteen nineties style mall. You heard me, I didn’t misspeak. The area, based on Nate’s local lore, would include coasters and a donkey dive ride inspired by one of his jokes.

The New York section Ooh tell me more. Would have street performers, live shows, and a ride through a simulated Times Square with the New Year’s eve Ball drop something I can tell you, actual New Yorkers hate all of those. You’re taking the worst of New York City and making a theme land about it. Okay. The third section would have stunt performances and interactive shows.

Nate wants to taper down from his arena tours and hopes Nate Land will switch up the transaction with audiences coming to him mistake, Nate says. The win for me will be when people go to Nateland and maybe don’t even know who Nate is. Good luck, sir. Mandy Moore is the co star of what is this The Breadwinner? Yes, it’s called The Breadwinner, She said.

I love this sort of celebration of moms and mom kind of being an entrepreneur and getting this incredibly unique opportunity in its own way. It’s like dad kind of switching roles and recognizing how much mom really does contribute to the house and keeping the ship righted. So I loved all of that. I don’t have that exact same experience in my life. I feel like my husband’s like a really good partner and a great dad and could pivot and figure out things in a way that I don’t worry about the kids or anything like that.

Heate said. The movie is go back to the classic family comedy movies that we all love. I think there’s a lack of entertainment that has made for entire families. There are so few movies where everyone of all ages can have a good laugh, so I decided to create one myself. This is a movie with characters everyone can relate to, and it gives families and friends a great reason to go to a theater for an excellent night out.

That’s not gonna happen. Man. People will watch this on streaming because he is popular and it’s mindless stuff you could throw on. You know, hey, wife, what should we watch to night?

---

All right, let’s watch this fine.

It’s one of those things no one will love but no one will hate. Nate gets that party says, you want us to have that ted Lasso effect where it’s a feel good story you can go back and watch again. We’re never gonna watch this movie twice, and that’s not happening. We’re gonna watch it once on streaming. Four months from now, Nate, the thing I think will help me with movies is now that I’ve traveled all over the country, I’ve done these jokes everywhere.

I’ve got a really good feeling to be like, hey, I think this will work. Because I’ve done a version of this everywhere, I kind of know what I feel like the country wants. You start realizing everybody’s a family, everybody goes through somewhat of the same things. He discussed the difference between acting and stand up comedy. Let’s stand up.

I very much prepare what I’m going to say and how I’m gonna say it, but you’re doing it live and doing SNL is the same aspects of doing a movie. I love the structure of being like you got to be here at this time, and this time you have someone telling you where to go. I really enjoyed that is untitled twenty nineteen TV pilot was not picked up. Nate said it was very frustrating. Steve Martin would always say, you gotta be undeniable that let me go down this path and be a stand up comedian.

I think what happened with the TV show is I talk about my family so much in my comedy was probably hard to recreate that. I don’t know if that show could have been as funny as what I talk about. I was frustrated during those eight years. But now, in hindsight, maybe they did have a point. Box office theory thinks this movie will make about sixteen million dollars this weekend high projection twenty three million.

Comedy stock Markets. Thank you, Burt Reynolds. Every week on the Comedy stock Marker, we take a look at the comedians. We try to find some value. Much like when you make money on stocks, we try and buy and sell high.

I don’t feel too strongly about anything this week. I’m wondering if we should sell Nate. Is this thing gonna work? I mean, part of me is scared that, like, people are gonna go out and see this thing, But I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem cool at all.

But maybe I’m a cool elitist to New Yorker sitting at a basement in New Jersey. I don’t know. Let’s sell Nate Pergatzy. We gotta be bold here. We’ll sell Nate Progatzy.

Let’s buy some Tony Hinchcliff. I think to use Nate’s word tony Hinchcliff is undeniable. I understand why some people don’t get it or choose to hate on Tony. But Tony’s just doing his kill Tony thing. He gets up on the roast, he kills.

He’s got a money making operation. It sells along just fine. Why not buy some Tony Hinchcliff and then two sells? All relates to the roast. Chelsea Handler is having just the worst two weeks.

Chelsea stopped talking the idea that a joke is worse than rape. I mean, listen to yourself, it’s a joke. It might be the worst joke ever told. It might be the most horrible thing ever said by anybody, but it was still a joke worse than rape. Sell Chelsea Handler, and let’s sell Nikki Glaser.

I just feel like all the cool is coming off Nikki Glaser. I think we all get who Nikki Glaser wants to be Amy Schumer, and she’s just going to keep going down that road. And I think she’s gonna shed some of the people who liked her in the past that I’m not sure Nicky’s gotta to pick up new people to replace those that she sheds. All right, So We’re gonna sell Nate buy, Tony sell, Chelsea sell NICKI. That is your comedy stock market for today.

I’m doing this one live. I haven’t looked at this at all at all. This was an email I got the other day. JFL Montreal sent out some more stuff. Let’s see Ashley Gavin’s gonna be a clipsode on the twenty fourth.

We have official dates for New Faces of Comedy Stand Up July twenty second and twenty third. That yep, as usual. That’s a Wednesday and Thursday. So if you’re looking for me, I’ll probably be in Montreal on the Wednesday night, if not. Both New Faces of Comedy characters on the twenty third.

Oh, this is interesting. New Faces of Comedy Stand Up Encore on the twenty fourth and twenty fifth. Maybe I go to that and then I can hang around for the free Weird Al show. That might be an interesting way to do things. We’ve also announce shows from Matty Kelly, Mark Watson, Janine Harooney and some local Montreal folks.

I’m looking forward to that. Just back off the London. I’m still dusting myself off, so I needs to plan my life a little bit. W Comal Bell has another podcast. This one is called Who’s with Me, inspired by his substack of the same name, Come Out.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News is tonight at the start of the new era of late night, It’s Goodnight with Ben Gleb making its YouTube premiere. I’m not sure this will have the same impact as say, a four day a week eleven thirty five network show, but who knows Goodnight with Ben glee will become the first late night type show launching on YouTube, made exclusively for YouTube, we are told Glebe’s weekly series is designed to evolve the traditional celebrity focus late nights base, offering chats with the usual suspects, while broadening in scope to include top thought leaders, creators, experts, entrepreneurs, wellness and financial experts, relationship coaches, AI futurists, and psychologists. Shows a tape of the night before as in Last Night, and we’ll debut on YouTube every Thursday at ten Eastern. Not sure why they pick that time.

There’s a live studio audience, a wall of screens showing the first global virtual studio audience. Bill Carter said. There will be a band, and each week we’ll also feature a post show after party episode where glebe dives deeper with his guests and additional curated invitees, often over drinks and candid conversation. All right, I come with an open mind. We’ll check that one out.

Pete Davidson and John Mulaney talked a little bit about how some people hosting Saturday Night Live aren’t that good during the Netflix as a Joke Festival, John Mulaney reflected on his time as a writer and he said, when I was twenty five, I’d tell Oscar winning host I’d right there monologue. I’d be like, yeah, I got to say all that, it’s got to go great, and then that tank eight times out of ten. Pete david said laughed and said he too would tell hosts they crushed it even when they didn’t. Lene said, they’ll have actor face. They sort of don’t get it because they’re just an actor and they’d be like, hey, was that good, and you’re like, no, do you have ears?

Pete said, it off and tell the hosts you’re really performing for the people at home. Lane added, play for the camera the audience. They’re just there to help you, but they’re not going to laugh a lot. Pete and I don’t always go their chores. They wait outside they try to win a lottery.

Half of them probably don’t even speak English. They do, they’re big fans of the show. They camp outside. Mlaney recalled an instance when a very big comedy star bombed, saying it was the comedy store’s own fault because it was very difficult writing the monologue. But when the famous comedy star checked in, when Mlaney, m’laney said, it’s bad acoustics, Melanie, that’s pointed out it’s famously one of the best Mike sound studios in the world that used to be the home to the NBC Symphony Orchestra.

Speaking of symphonies, Josh Johnson Symphony was I did this by accident. I just I didn’t plan this at all. These two stories is happen to be in this great back to back Josh Johnson Symphony his first ever HBO comedy special. He wanted it to be timeless, he told Emmy’s dot Com. No interesting that Emmys dot Com interviewed Josh Johnson.

HM keep an eye on that when the Emmy nominations come around. Josh told Emmys dot Com, I really want people to be able to look back and enjoy this thing I’ve done with HBO for years and years and years. That’s why I didn’t make any topical references. I’m just talking about things that feel particularly universal, at least to me. I haven’t gotten to it yet, as I’ve mentioned a couple times on the shows in London last week and now that they are Knicks games, and then four as a Horizon six came out and at James Bond video game, So you know, I haven’t really been in TV mood.

In Symphony, Josh comes out and he takes a moment to look at the audience. D Emmys were curious, what are you doing, Josh said, He’s trying to form a connection with them. It’s also taking a second to take stock of what’s happening. Let’s say you’re fully locked in. You could just run out there, start doing your first joke and be thinking about outlands, thinking about last per minute and everything, where you could take a quick second to stop and not just enjoy, but really respect the fact that these people are all here together for a reason.

I think it takes the moment of noticing to really make yourself present and fully respect everyone was there. Josh talked about his career. He’s been doing stand up since twenty twelve, but says I was pretty happy. We’re gking at the grocery store and doing stand up at night. In a sense, I couldn’t imagine doing what I’m doing now.

If you have a real love and curiosity for something, then you can’t help but give it a shot. When I moved to Chicago, I landed and almost immediately try to find an open mic pressure Billio’s in Chicago. That was the first open mic that I did. I had five minutes and I didn’t mention time well. I told two jokes in a story and then kind of finished.

I really want to respect the light. Because I was new, I didn’t want to make enemies or anything. Emmy’s was curious about the sets Josh puts out on YouTube every Tuesday. How do you handle that? Josh Johnson said, I’ve always written a lot, a lot, a lot a lot.

While some things can be very funny and topical, they’re just not gonna be relevant forever. To me, it makes the most sense to share those things so that those who couldn’t make it to the show get to enjoy it. It also helps build some community. There are people who tune into the live YouTube show every week and we chat in the chat and I’m very thankful to the people that made a ritual out of it. As for hosting the daily show, Josh has said in the past he compares a too boring of friend’s car.

You want to return it without any damage. Josh spoke more about that and said, I think it’s important to consistently feel that way. That’s not the way that anyone has made me feel. It’s the thing I do out of respect for what I get to do. I hope I don’t lose that feeling, not even for a little bit, because it’s what keeps me as intentional as possible.

Muscle and Fitness caught up with Tom Sigoura around the time of The Two Bears five K. Sigura said, what makes that event work is probably two middle aged fat guys not known for being fit decided to do this, and that inspired a lot of other people had never done it to try it. I wish we had started eight years earlier. Zagora admits that he takes the physical side of the event much differently than his partner Bert. Bert’s more of a winged guy.

I can’t do that, so I started getting my miles in months in advance. I kind of hate it, the running, but I slowly start to embrace it as it gets closer. I need to start up again. I’ve been really bad. It was also four degrees all winter, Sigora said.

I’ve made physical health a priority. It also makes me listen to my body in a way I never did before. I’m more into mobility and circuit training now more than ever. I don’t think about big lifts like when I was younger. It’s so mental.

We’re all capable of more, but you have to have the right mindset to prepare and go through with it. I wake up around six thirty seven and go to the gym most mornings to run a mile and have a workout that’s more circuit based lately, so I get cardio and resistance in. I take days off as I feel any of them. I don’t plan for them. That was the same way when I was running a lot.

Yeah, sometimes you just need that one day off and then you feel a lot better. Eating clean isn’t that hard, says s Agora. Sleep can be a real challenge with travel on the kids, but you can’t perform well in any physical activity if you don’t prioritize sleepe, don’t overthe g it, just get it done. It doesn’t have to look good for it to count. Do all the little min Dane stuff.

You think it’s a waste of time. It’s a difference between making a full recovery and having lingering issues on race day. I think we all want to beat each other. We’re also old enough to know we could hurt ourselves and after the race drinking poroso straight up then cold plunge. All right.

Bill Board put out the list of biggest comedy tours for April. Number five, Berg Kreischer twelve shows, twenty five nine hundred tickets, grows two point one million dollars. Not bad. Now. I don’t know what this one is.

It’s the We Them Ones Comedy Tour. They did three shows and gross two point three million. Apparently this tour is Mike Epps, Carlos Miller, DC, Young Fly, Chico Bean, Mojo Brooks, Tony Roberts, TK Kirkland, Just Nash, fab Munroe, Jski and Nev Green. They’ll be at the win Trest Arena in Chicago on Saturday. If you want to go, say how much tickets for this thing are?

Section two one row. J o’r on you ninety dollars eighty five cents. Number three. Peter Kay did five shows and gross to four million dollars. Matt Rie did ten shows and grossed at nine point one million.

And the King of the World and we’ll be talking about him a lot later this week because he’s got a movie coming out. Naprighatzy fifteen shows gross to eleven point two million dollars. Let me say that number again. He grossed eleven point two million dollars. That’s a gross.

It’s not net, but still eleven point two million dollars. Wow. From The Guardian, the Department of Homeland Security has circulated a be on the lookout alert to law enforcement nationwide. All right, who are they looking for? They’re looking for a comedian.

The subject of the alert is Ben Palmer, the national based standup comedian and prankster who has created a parody anti immigration tip website. I’ve shared some of his calls before. If you’re not hip to this, His revealing videos of calls with members of the public who thought they were reporting immigrants to US Immigration and Customs enforcement. You know them as ICE, have garnered millions of us on TikTok and YouTube. I made a website for reporting illegal immigrants, and sometimes people end up on the website thinking that it’s real.

And somebody wanted to report a man that they suspected to be an illegal immigrant that lives in their neighborhood. So I reached out to see if I could help. There is one person who comes and he’s non speaking, non English speaking, and he will come possibly, oh see, maybe maybe you’ll see him two weekends out of the month. And it’s not even for a complete weekend. It’s you’ll come Saturday like a thief in the night at ten, ten thirty, eleven thirty at night, and then leave Sunday and he’s gone.

Okay, it’s just very very suspicious while he is here. When he pulled into the driveway. Yeah, and the lights always on. They’re using electricity in the home, yes and yes, and that is definitely suspicious. Yes.

And they’re also using the the driveway right. And the light is always lit in the garage when he comes, light stays on. We cannot see the basement section from our kitchen window. We can only see that there’s a light lit, and that’s the garage window that we can see the light lit. Yeah, and so just not being able to not being able to see what the resident is doing inside their own home, that’s what raises the suspicions.

The bulletin was issued by the DHS Nashville Field Office in February, about a week before The Washington Post profiled Palmer after a kinderdgarten teacher reported one of her students’ parents to Palmer’s supposed tip page. And it looks like they have a child who was born in New York, which makes them an American citizen. Yeah, so we’re looking to deport the parents and leave the child. Right. Like I said, I don’t know if they’re here illegally.

I just think it’s odd. You know, it’s very odd. What did you say was odd? It’s just odd for them even me here. Like I’m a teacher at a school.

Schools. I know the whole law about schools. I mean, they seem like nice people or whatever. But I looked them up. In our files and I was like, oh, she.

Was born in Honduras and he’s born in Alzabad or so right there. It’s like, Okay, maybe I’m on the right path. You know, they drop off their kid every day. So their kid is their kid a student at your school? Yes?

Yeah, okay, so now you want to get his parents deported. Well, I’m just saying, if they’re taking up resources from our county not into illegal people being here. Then the be on the Lookout was shared by the Illinois State Police to a distribution list of state and local law enforcement agencies. The alert on Palmer was obtained by the nonprofit Injustice Watch. It’s not immediately clear how many other law enforcement departments around the US may have shared the federal alert to be on the lookout for Ben Palmer.

At the bottom of the Bee on the Lookout alert, the dh acknowledges that the comedian does not pose a danger. At this time. There appears to be no direct threat to life or infrastructure. A DHS spokesperson said there is no investigation into this individual. This document is an internal memo shared for awareness purposes only, adding that law enforcement and civilians should be aware of potential websites and individuals impersonating federal law enforcement.

Palmer said he found out about this from Injustice Watch. He called it a badge of honor to be honest. For me, it’s the best of both worlds. I don’t get arrested, but I still get to say that the Department of Homeland Security created a document about me, which is in my line of work. I was looking at these things more like certificates, badges of honor.

The government wastes a lot of time and SAX dollars for sure, but when you have your own little section on that, I kind of feel honored. HBO Max has confirmed the premier date of a new six episode Australian led comedy series called Make That Movie. I love the two people in this They are Sam Campbell and Aaron Chen. I recently played some clips from Aaron on this program and Sam Campbell you may know from Luk. Created by Sam Campbell, Make That Movie follows a chaotic, high concept premise.

A self assured filmmaker travels across the country searching for everyday people with ideas for future films, before attempting to bring those ideas to life in just three days. Sam Campbell starts as the fast talking director. Aaron chen plays Sebastian, an intimacy coordinator. They’re all fab I think that’ll be good. A partner Naturla talked to Joy sauce.

They were curious if she needs the audience’s approval. Apart I said, even if it feels like a one way conversation, it ends up being a dialogue. Some audiences may be more or less receptive. Whatever you’re bringing to them is fully in your control, and you can adjust your material based on what lands or whatd feedback you get. The best part of stand up comedy is you don’t have to fit someone’s version of how you need to show up.

You can show as much or as little of yourself as you’d like. Personally, I approach comedy from the inside out perspective versus outside. In her recent hour on Dropout called hopeful, Potato was informed by the break I took from stand up at a time spent writing my book, as well as the pandemic. Now I’m in my forty, he said, it’s a time when women start experiencing mental, emotional and physical shifts. It’s a reckoning with yourself and a second adolescence.

If you’re at a place where half your life is done and you’re lucky half lies ahead, what do you want to do with that time? And I will I ask myself that question every day, sometimes to take a four hour train ride to Scotland. Culture had caught up with BJ Novak, you know him as Ryan from the office. They did some rapid fire BJ. What’s something people get wrong about you?

He said? I have no idea what they think about me, and whatever it is, they might well be right. If anyone’s wrong about me, it’s probably me. I’m too close to it. When’s the last time you laughed hysterically, Bj Novak?

He said, The fact I can’t remember tells me I need to change my life, and for that I generally thank you. Cultured magazine questionnaire will keeps you up at night? Bj? The coffee I drag at three pm? And who do you call the most?

He said? Call my parents every Friday. Everyone else I text. And that is your comedy news for today. Follow the show on Spotify and click on that notifications badge so you don’t ever miss an episode.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey here, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Back in the basement. Back to normal episodes and no more pre tapes. Let’s catch up Stephen Colbert.

The night after his show ended, he returned to television. Did you see this? He showed up on public access television he hosted only in Monroe, a community access program in Monroe, Michigan. Here’s Stephen Colbert. Hello, Also welcome, It’s time for another edition of on LIA Monroe.

I’m your guest host Stephen Colbert. Long asime viewers of OLYA Monroe may remember that back in July of twenty fifteen, I filled in for the usual hosts Michelle Bauman and Kailanie Ray Rafco Wilson. Still not sure how many people that is since I was last here in Monroe, Michigan, and I spent eleven years as the primary host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, which came to an end last night. It’s been excruciating twenty three hours without being on TV. So I am grateful to be able to be here on Monroe Community Media before they also get acquired by Paramount.

Truly a joy to be back in Monroe, Michigan. I had such a great experience the last time I was here to take a micha gander, that I just had to come back Michigan. Plus, legally speaking, Monroe is the only place in the world where you can make the show only in Monroe. It’s just like how champagne must be made in France’s Champagne region, or Milwaukee’s best must be made in Milwaukee by drinking an actual beer and then peeing it into a can. Are they sponsors?

Only in Monroe? Covers the happenings of Monroe, a town of about twenty thousand people roughly forty miles southwest of Detroit. The show’s regular hosts Michelle and Kai where his first guests, Jack White, who grew up and Detroit, served as the musical director, playing songs on a boombox. Stephen called Byron Allen and got him on the phone. He made an appearance, and so did Eminem Eminem, also from Michigan.

Steve Bushemi made a cameo and what he called a public service announcement for a local restaurant, Buschemy’s pizza and subs no relation. Colbert Taste tested Monroe style chili dogs and made peanut butter, potato chip and barbecue sauce sandwiches with the actor Jeff Daniels, who lives in Michigan. This is pretty elaborate to have happened the night after the Late Show wrapped up. Now. Interestingly, Colbert has hosted Only in Monroe before, he hosted it in twenty fifteen, a few months before taking the Late Show over from David Letterman.

That time, he also interviewed the host of Only Monroe and had Eminem on the show, who he called a local Michigander who was making a name for himself in the competitive world of music. So how did CBS react. They put up takedown notices and boy, they just looked so petty and lame, and people made fun of them on the internet. I don’t think anybody at CBS cares about anything. It was also last week the last broadcast of CBS News Radio.

H boy, CBS, what have you done to your brand? So as soon as Only on Monroe showed up on YouTube social media, onlookers noticed that Paramount Skuidance, the parent company of CBS, and I will point out Star trek Ruiners, had issued takedown claim citing breach of copyright. CBS had to react to this. A spokesperson told Variety Stephen Colbert’s return to Monroe in the Only on Monroe episode was financed and produced by CBS Studios and was posted on Stephen Colbert’s YouTube channel in collaboration with Monroe Comedian Media and the Late Shows YouTube channels. As is our regular practice, we send copyright notices to unauthorized websites that post copyrighted content from CBS and our network slash studio talent, such as Stephen Colbert.

The network set had decided to waive further enforcement of what it called a standard industry practice. The series finale of The Law drew six point seven to four million viewers on Thursday night. That is up from the Q one average of two point six nine million viewers. When Colbert premiered in twenty fifteen, he had six point five to five million viewers that night. Times have changed, but as a comparison, the final episode of Late Show with David Letterman drew thirteen point seven to six million viewers.

In a Facebook group, a regular contributor Dylan asked he was curious what I thought of the finale, and I don’t think anything of it. It just had no impact on me. You know, it’s clearly a big thing, but like Colbert’s entire tenure on The Late Show, I didn’t watch it, didn’t hate it, wasn’t interested in it. And again you hear me host the show every day. I clearly like the idea of Late Night.

I’d probably seen fallon I don’t know twice Kimmel. I don’t think I’ve ever watched an episode of Kimmel. Maybe I’ve clearly seen clips and excerpts, but I don’t think of that actually ever put Kimmel on. So Colbert, I mean I watched the clips while I was in London. I had taped the whole thing on the DVR, and like, I don’t even feel motivated to watch the whole thing, Sorry everybody.

So yeah, and from what I’m seeing online, people were just kind of like, yeah, it was okay.

Speaking of London, the Times of London put out this headline why Maverick co…

I want to say, tap the brakes, but they may have a point. Their subhetter. As the Late Show host makes his eggsit a new crop of comics. It’s poised to replace him with a modern brand of humor fit for the Internet age. They recapped a recent Dylan episode.

I listened to a few episodes of Tim on the Plane. I think the show’s not quite as good as it was two years ago, but it’s still When Tim’s on, he’s on. I just find that he’s on less often. The Times rights for this episode. It was not a late night talk show monologue.

It went on for an hour, seemed to come straight off the top of his head, and was posted on social media rather than broadcast on TV. Donnie Zoldan, I know Donnie. I know him personally. He owns stand up in New York. He’s quoting this thing he said.

The Daily Show, they do their take. Bill Maher does his thing every week, John Oliver does his thing. Tim Dillon does it his own way. It’s quite different from anyone else. Jeffrey Cole as an upcoming book called Disruptors at the Gate colds all the times younger people aren’t watching late night TV.

They may see clips on YouTube. Cole said, we know the traditional format hasn’t worked on streaming yet. Chelsea Handler did a show similar to her talk show, it didn’t work. The article also name checks the Apple TV version of The John Stewart Show. Cole said, we’re going to see innovation, but it’s gonna have to be something different than just the band and the Johnny Carson studio.

Just having a band is probably three million dollars a year. The article also quotes Jimmy Kimmel from last year’s Bloomberg screen Time conference, where kim Will talked about YouTube and said YouTube pays nothing. YouTube gets to sell it and keeps half the money. It’s quite a deal for them. It really is.

Coming up later this week is good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube. Bill Carter said of Glebe show, it will have a band and we’ll have guests. It’ll be on YouTube. They’re saying, we think there’s life in the genre. They have an audience that’s growing enormously.

I think it’s of the viability of doing a show that is topical. Chelsea Handler not the most popular person these days. The headline Chelsea Handler faces backlash after criticizing racist jokes at Kevin Hart Roast mentioned this the other day while standing on a street corner in Scotland. By the way, shout out to Ryan. Ryan lives in Edinburgh and is a listener and when he heard me on a street corner, he reached out to me invited me out for a drink and I wish the show was live because I was already back in London by the time I got the email.

But Ryan, thank you was great connecting with you on the side, and if I make it up that way again next year, I will definitely reach out to you. I was in London for a podcast conference last week and I shot up to Scotland for the day on Friday. Most people like are you insane? And like, I, look, I’ve been to Australia and I’ve been to Antarctica. A four hour train ride with Wi Fi does not scare me.

Chelsea Handler had called out Shane Gillis and some others for their jokes at the Kevin Hart roast. Chelsea apparently completely unfamiliar with what as is. She was on Dion Cole’s podcast with the just terrible hackey name funny knowing You, get it, get it. See it’s you know, it’s funny knowing you and it’s comedy and it’s a Dion dude that is a terrible name. Let me read this sentence verbatim quote.

Handler called Gillis’s lynching joke, Kevin is so short you’d have to lynch him from a bonside tree. Worse than reap. That’s right, that joke is worse than reap, according to Chelsea Handler. Chelsea Handler told Dion Cole she’d received messages on social media about Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliff from their alleged former partners. That’s interesting.

Handler was asked what these is alleged former partner said, Andler said, just everything. We know that they’re racist, that they’re bigots, their sexist. Gillis had told The Hollywood Porter, this is a big moment for Chelsea. I’m glad she’s capitalizing. Good for her.

We’re all rooting for her anyway, Come see me. July seventeenth, at the Football Stateium in Philly, there was a New York Post opinion piece, and that columnist Kristin Fleming took a shot at Chelsea Handler a q Chelsea Handler of trying to become quote, the new white savior who speaks for all black people. Fleming’s theory is that Handler felt upstaged and wrote the abrasive abortion enthusiast has deputized herself the head of the joke police. How rich is that? Fleming then added that Chelsea’s shtick about being a liberated motherless, alcoholic, loose lady is getting old.

Comedian Steve Byrne weighed in. Steve burn said, I personally know Shane and Tony aren’t racist. In fact, I don’t think Chelsea’s racist. Sure, she’s got a long history of promise. Quie in Affinity for Day Drinking publicly stated she’s prescribed a healthy dose of antidepressants, rumored to be awful to work for or with, has a punch card to a plastic surgeon, accused of punching down in her comedy, never been married and had kids and lives alone in her fifties.

Had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein. But come on, gang, she’s not racist. Wow, And we are long this morning and especially during quiet week, But I’ve got more controversy for you. Robbie Hoffman hit with backlash over controversial comments about Celiac disease. Robbie Hoffman went on Alex Cooper’s podcast.

Cooper proposed a game in which she would give Robbie Hoffman a scenario, and Robbie Hoffman would decide whether it qualifies as great or deserving of jail. The topic went to people who are allergic to gluten. Robbie Hoffman apparently said, quote, is it real, Like I want to see the outbreak? I want to pick up a role. We’re having roles tonight, just a bag of rolls.

I don’t care if it’s the Hawaiian roll, whatever role. Okay, I don’t care if it’s a dinner roll. Butter it up and let’s see. Hoffman then explained she expects a person with Celia Act disease to have a reaction similar to Will Smith in the two thousand and five comedy Hitch. Hoffman said, if it’s not Will Smith blowing up in Hitch, I don’t know.

Alex Cooper agreed, saying it does seem kind of recent. No one was allergic gluten in our classes growing up. Hoffman said, it’s just I got to see everyone is suddenly celiac by the way they’re coming for us, And fine, I believe you. I’m also joking. That’s what I want to know with these people.

Is it an analogy or preference in case you don’t know. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system reacts to gluten, sometimes causing damage to the small and testin. I can tell you it is real. One person on social media wrote, really loved the part where Robbie Hoffman says the disease destroying my intestinal lining isn’t real. Gossip Conna whispers in the street, Gossip con probably repe gossip Conn where the rumors meet with Johnny Mac.

It’s always a tree. Gossip Connor Wlis Business tree, Gossip Cone, probably gossip cone where the rooms meeting with Johnny macsoll in the tree. Kevin Hart spotted in Las Vegas over a Memorial Day weekend. TMZ says Kevin and wife we’re living it up at the Omnia Day Club, Las Vegas. The couple was spotted leaving the wind before making their way over to Caesar’s Palace.

DJ Fisher had the place going nuts with booming party tracks, drinks flowing NonStop, and crowds packed shoulder to shoulder. TMZ says Kevin was super friendly with fans, chatting and happily interact with people who came up to him.

Caloroga Shark Media. No matter how many years they do the show, I will never learn the lesson of don’t eat a handful of M and m’s before jumping on the mic. The Peanuts close up your throat a little bit. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Boy, what an exciting week?

Are you ready for Friday? I don’t have to tell you what Friday is. That’s right, Nate Berghatsi’s The Breadwinner is out. Now. You might be saying, John, did Kevin James turn down this movie?

And I think that’s a reasonable question if you’ve seen the trailer in case you’re not familiar. In The Breadwinner, Nate Berghatzi stars as salesman Nate Wilcox. Mandy Moore plays Katie, who’s the ultimate mom. But you see when Katie’s household invention leads to a once in a lifetime deal on Shark Tank and takes Katie on a prolonged business trip, wacky dad Nate has to figure out how to keep the house from falling apart because you know what’s dead, So, yeah, we don’t know how to make dinner or do laundery or anything. Kids soon learn that while he may not do it like Mom, he can figure out how to do it his way.

Now, Nate’s got friends in high places, including the Hollywood Reporter, who we’re getting the message out that Nate wants to make The Breadwinner affordable for everyone to watch in the theater. That’s right. You’re not just gonna sit home and watch this on Netflix. You’re not just gonna wait, I don’t know six weeks till it’s out on digital. You’re gonna leave your house and go to the theater to go see The Breadwinner this Friday.

Now, while studios can’t dictate pricing, the Hollard Reporter tells US cinema operators have indicate they will treat The Breadwinner the same way they supported discounted pricing for showings of eighty for Brady. And we all know how well that did. How well did that do? Look it up? John Okay, will boxofficemojo dot com reports eighty for Brady Domestic made a thirty nine point four million, did another one million internationally.

Anyway, AMC Theaters has announced the Nates rates. They did this on Instagram. Cinema theaters, meanwhile, may discount prices buy as much as twenty five percent. Pricing and availability will vary. You know what, I’m gonna go on like fendango right now and see if I can book a ticket for this thing.

Hold on now. To be fair, I am doing this on May fourteenth. I don’t know if you knew it was a holiday weekend. Sometimes I record in advance. Okay, Friday, May twenty ninth, I’m going to go seat at my local AM theater.

There are shows at four and six forty five pm. Nothing later.

All right, let’s do the standard reserve seating close caption recliner seats…

Let’s say click, and it appears, if I’m looking at this map correctly, it appears they have sold two tickets in advance to the six forty five showing Friday for the Breadwinner. Now again, I recorded this like fifteen days ago, so it’s quite possible that it’s sold out by now. I’m gonna click on F six and F five. Oh no, no, no, no no. I was looking at a gap, but I’m going across.

I can buy one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight. It appears zero tickets have been sold. If you can buy seats F five and f six for eleven ninety three. We are told the prices and feeds include estimated at tax per ticket. But I’m not actually going to go see The Breadwinner.

Nate Pergatsi posted on Instagram. It said, hello, everybody, My movie The Breadwinner is coming out on May twenty ninth, and I’ve got something very exciting that i wanted to let you know. So the Nate rate is a special kind of lower ticket price because we want everyone to come out to this movie. And John has discovered some theaters have sold zero tickets. This movie is for your grandparents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, friends, sister, anybody, your dog, cats I think would love this movie specifically, anybody that wants to come out.

Nate did a screening for The Breadwinner in Nashville. Nate said, I used to come to this theater a lot. There’s an Applebee’s right next to here where I met my wife. We’re living in Nashville in this movie. This celebrates Nashville.

I grew up here. I think we get a joy when more people move here in a way that keeps the fabric of what made Nashville a city very exciting. The Breadwinner stroop credits in Aperghatsey with influencing his embrace of family friendly humor. Now interesting. I came home from volleyball the other night.

My wife was on her phone. She goes, do you know comedian Derek Stroop? And it wasn’t like do you know him? It was like do you know who that is? And I’m like, yeah, I thought it was interesting that Derek Stroop said nabrigazzy.

He took me under his wing just a couple of years ago. This guy’s out here selling out four shows in one weekend at an arena. It’s twenty thousand and eighty thousand tickets in a weekend. But because he’s completely clean, and he’s not edgy, and he’s not up there starting a revolution with a microphone in his hand, he doesn’t get the outside love. Clean comedy is the way to go by far.

I preach it to everybody that’ll listen. These young comics, I try to save them. I will tell a story I’ve told it before. When I first met Jeff Foxworthy. He sat in a room with me.

He explained his philosophy. He held his arms out I don’t know, like say shoulder length, and he said, I used to do comedy and curse, you know, like everybody else does.

And then I realized, if I work clean, I pick up the older people.

And he stretched out one arm and the younger people, and he stretched out his other arm and implied how much bigger his audience got. Derek Stroop said, nobody’s ever come up to me after a show and went, those jokes were really good, man, but if you would occur a little bit, you could have sent us over the top. Everybody goes thanks for being clean. It was a really fun show. That feels good to have a product that travels, and everybody’s excited to see now.

You know, if you listen to this show, you know I try and keep it clean. Sometimes with the clips, I have to let a naughty word or two through, and I kind of don’t like to do that, but sometimes this is just to keep the integrity of what was said. But myself, I try not to curse on the show, and you’ll hear me use words like stuff. I also teach my college students who are younger producers, putting yourself in that box is a better creative way to go. I always quote mister the Rock, Queen the Rock at Johnson, I will use a pseudo swear word here.

The Rock doesn’t call somebody an asshole. The Rock calls somebody a Drabbroni. Hey, that guy’s a jabbroni, And Jabbroni is just a much funnier word than just saying that other awful word that I just said. So I think that’s always a good thing to do. Jerry Seinfeld said, I don’t enjoy that many things, you know.

I like watching baseball games, and I like driving cars, and I like comedy, and that’s about it. He was speaking to Airman about his car addiction and why Jerry will never get an electric car. Jerry, how many cars do you have? I don’t know. I always say it’s an amount that if you looked at you would not say this makes sense.

Air Mil asked Jerry. I don’t know about you, but as I get older, I wonder who needs so many cars? Jerry said, Well, we could spend the whole segment discussing that word need, which is really difficult to define. It’s an interesting word in terms of a car collection. Only really crazy car guys.

We’ll talk about do I need one of these? And the other guy knows what they’re talking about. It’s interesting to me that there are quite a few cars that I’m totally emotionally attached to, and there’s quite a few that I’m not. I still like them and I like having them. But some of them you bond too, some of them you don’t.

Jerry says his car collection began around nineteen ninety one, when my TV series was picked up for its first very small order. Was that nineteen ninety one. I’m not gonna say that feels like five minutes ago to me, but uh yeah, that’s college Boy time flies, Jerry said. I think four episodes. Jerry, you know was four episodes?

Don’t say you think you know how many episodes? Come on, dude. That was when I first acquired some money I did not need. I bought annineteen fifty eight Porscha three fifty six speeds are out of Wichita. I didn’t really know anything about older Porsches, but I just thought, well, this car is a nice line.

So I also thought, I’m sure you could never drive a car like this on the street. It must be ridiculous, And I ended up using it as my daily driver in LA for years on end. Really sorry, I sold it. I believe there’s no car you’ve ever owned that you don’t regret selling that. If you could have every car back, assuming it was financially possible, you would do it.

You’d want every single one. This is a good interview because it’s, you know, different stuff. You don’t hear Jerry talk about this stuff. He said, I remember the very first time I became aware of the Yoshido Matsuda collection in Japan, two hundred cars. I saw this and went, this is one insane human being.

I got the book of his collection, and then I became that guy. I never really had any problems with addiction except this. Selling cars can be very exciting too. It’s pretty clear that cars coming and going seems to stimulate some receptor in the brain. For people that are genetically inclined, it’s powerful stuff.

As for electric cars, Jerry said, I’m not interested in electric cars at all. Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big stupid virtue signal. Look at me, I’m saving a planet. Yeah, what about the lithium, it’s all bs.

What about automated self driving cars? Dray said, I always tell my kids that their kids will say to them, you mean, when you grew up, they would let people just drive at any speed and steer the car themselves. Didn’t they just crash and kill themselves constantly. This is fun. Ken Jung is getting involved with Shark Week.

It’s K Pop Shark Heroes. You see. You take Shark Week and you drop K Pop Demon Hunters on top, and you get K Pop Shark Heroes. The special stars Ken Jung and the woman who is the singing voice of character Zoe Casehanot, a big K Pop Demon Hunters fan like me, I’m not at all I just learned as I’m telling you the sentence, Ken Jung voices Bobby, the agent manager of the K Pop Demon Hunters, who knew the official description for K Pop Shark Heroes is after a recent series of shark encounters off the Korean Peninsula. Actor and comedian Ken Jung, We’re just dropping the doctor part.

The guy went to medical school. I’m gonna revise your copy. Actor and comedian doctor Ken Jung is determined to reshape the perception of sharks across East Asia and around the globe by Zoe. Ken is on a mission to launch a bold, one of a kind public awareness campaign that educates, empowers, and shifts the narrative around these oceanic creatures using the power of K pop. I Love It Oh.

Like most press releases, there’s credits here. Jung is best known for playing Leslie Chow in all three The Hangover movies, as well as Ben Cheng in Community Hows six Seasons in a movie Coming Along Everybody by the Way. His other prominent credits include Knocked Up, Crazy, Rich Asians and The Mass Singer, on which he’s served as a judge since season one. In twenty nineteen, to entertain myself, the Golden Globes have updated the eligibility if you want to win a Golden Globe for stand up comedy performance on television. Here are the rules.

Are you ready? Rule number one, Performers are eligible for performances of traditional stand up comedy of at least thirty consecutive minutes aired other than roles in television series, limited series, anthology series, or motion pictures made for television. I’ll roughly translate that your special has to include thirty minutes of stand up okay. Rule number two. Television includes works released by broadcast, basic and premium cable streaming and pay preview cable.

To be eligible for a Golden Globes’ award, television programs must be released on a recognized media platform. Individual social media accounts do not qualify, all right, So translating there, it’s got to be on like real TV. You can’t just put it on like Johnnymack dot com and submit it. Okay, that’s fair enough. Number three.

Only programs first aired or made available for viewing on demand in the United States during the qualifying year are eligible. Interesting first aired, so like I don’t know, say you were Ricky Gervais and the BBC gave me a lot of money. It has to air in the US first to be eligible for a Golden Globe. That’s weird. I don’t really care.

I just find it weird. And that is your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.
