Caloroga Shark Media. Let’s get right to it. Larry David attacked Elmo. Hi, I’m Shooney Mack and all that. The voices you’re going to hear are the hosts of the Today Show, Larry David, Elmo and a character that apparently is Elmo’s father named Louis.
Louis is the one that says I’m going to sue him for assault. Let’s listen, all right, let’s go over to Alpha check of the weather. Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. Don’t you before ask permission? Ask permission before you touch people?
Larry talk about all right, you’ve gone too far this time that somebody have to do it. Anybody really surprised He’s gonna sue y’all for the teaser. I’m gonna suit him for that’s right, Louie. Oh alright, let’s shut show you what’s happening. Weatherwise.
Didn’t see that coming. If you watch the video, they cut back and forth. Apparently Larry was on the set next to the couch waiting to do his one on one, and he came over and threw a fake punch at Elmo. He deliberately missed. He clearly wasn’t trying to actually hit Elmo.
The Today Show host didn’t know how to react a few times, the cuts of al Broker standing in front of the weather map out didn’t know what to do, and the whole thing is insane, lots of fun.
Speaking of Larry David, he will be at the Paley Fest.
It is the annual television festival hosted by the Paley Center of Media. Mentioned this yesterday, but there’s some other cool things this year’s line up. April twelfth of The Morning Show, The Apple Thing, April thirteenth, Loki the fourteenth, Young Sheldon also on the fourteenth, Avatar, The Last Airbender on the fifteenth, Late Night with Seth Myers, eighteenth is Kurb and April nineteenth, Family Guy’s twenty fifth anniversary celebration. The New York Post apparently has decided to start covering comedy in a way different than what they did in the past. That they send somebody to Mark Norman show at the Beacon, and I believe this is the first time we’ve heard Mark Norman address the silly stunt.
Last week at New York Comedy Club, when the crowd was evacuated, Mark Norman said, I went viral for I don’t know thirteen hours, some bullsh and then he trailed off, says the Post. Eventually Britney Spears took a crap at a hotel lobby and it was all good. Now, what I think is new for the Post is they covered Mark Norman’s opening acts. Matt Ruby went up first. They quote one of his jokes, joking about lack of success with long term relationships.
Apparently Matt’s joke told much better than I. Well, the first six months are easy. Just feels like you’re on drugs right, like you’re on molly. After living together for years. It feels like you took molly and you’re stuck on the subway.
You’re like, how is this ecstasy? And oh my god, I feel trapped. Please let me out, all right? Next up, Phil Hanley talked about dating. He proposed the idea that a relationship is probably near over once you make a pros and cons list.
He said, I did that with my ex. I was like, pro, she’s by con polar. That’s a good joke. The Post writes people were already near choking on laughter by the time Mark Norman rat on the stage. The forty year old New Yorker’s notoriously nasally voice was enough to set the crowd into a rapture of enthusiasm.
Does Mark Norman have a notoriously nasally voice? I know he’s got a very noticeable delivery style, but I never thought about nasally voice from Mark Norman. I opened for Seinfeld here a couple of years ago. Now I’m headlining and he’s in the tunnels. He joked about Joe Biden worried about World War three.
Don’t be The president has military experience. He served in the Civil War. He then joked about environmental activist Greta Tuneberg, making an OnlyFans joke. It said, Dori, she’s twenty one years old. She’s of age.
It’s fine, man, I thought she was nine. The Post says what makes Mark Norman special is that he has cleverly evaded most cancible offenses while towing the line of decency. Sure are some things teeter on the offensive, but the reality is that Mark Norman is just as likely to dunk on one group of people as the other, and the net effect being that it’s near impossible to loathe him for political incorrectness. Yes, that is comedy in The New York Post says he’s just making jokes after all. Amen.
Then the Post adds with this weird tag to the article. They wrote, eager to find out what he thinks about Caitlyn Jenner, Governor Abbott, Nikki Haley, Leah Thomas, Gypsy Rose. No, not really, and then they wrote, well, you’ll have to buy tickets to his next show to find out. Thanks. New York Post.
Comedy writer Tremor Noah is hosting the Grammys on Sunday. He was on with Gail King on CBS. It seems now if you host an award show, they have to ask you about Joe Coy. Boy, Joe, I’m so sorry, dude, Taylor murdered you. All she had to do was smile.
Did you see Taylor ice the CBS cameras. I think I shared that in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. When Taylor’s at the game on Sunday, the Fox camera switched to her and she just stared with that face she makes, and then finally mouthed what looked like please leave me alone or something like that. She murdered Jokoy. If she had smiled, everybody goes, oh, Joe Coy was okay, but now he’s the worst Awards show host ever.
I guess David Letterman feels like he’s off the hook. Anyway. They asked Trevor Noah about Joe Coy and he said, here’s the thing about Awards shows. Everybody loves the joke when it’s not about them, and your goal and your hope is to tell a joke about the person that they also think is funny. Say, for example, coverage of football games tends to show you on camera.
You could smile. It’s not about you, it’s just a joke. Smile. Bring it Swifties, Daily Comedy News, get it right. So it’s difficult, and I think every comedian understands this.
I think what makes the Grammys particularly nerve wracking for me is like these are superstars. Yeah, these are like I don’t want to get on the wrong side of Taylor Swift fans, see I kinda do. That’s Johnny Mac saying that, not Trevor Noah. So you’re trying to walk this fine line of being, you know, the comedian, but then also still being nice about the night. Joe Rogan still don’t accepted my challenge to fight in the ring Chicken.
Trevor says, there’s no guarantee every joke will strike gold. I never take it for granted. I’m never not nervous. Think of this a moment. Everybody’s there.
You have an idea of what you like to do. You never practiced this with them. Some people are having a good night, some people are not having a good night. You don’t know how it’ll go. And as the night progresses, the mood changes, and how does that mood affect the comedy.
You don’t know. Gail King asked Trevor, Noah, who are you rooting for? Trevor said, you know what I’m gonna say, I’m rooting for me. I think me has done a very good job with the Special Grammy Sunday Night, CBS eight Eastern. Roywood Junior was on the Audi Cornish Pod via CNN Really interesting interview.
Roy said, the best political comedy comes with steaks, and you can only hit those stakes if there’s a relationship. It’s no different than the correspondence dinner. The viewer has to know the host and see the host repeatedly and get a relationship and get a rhythm and then understand where you’re coming from. I’ll jump in, so yeah, John Stewart and the story and then you can do more daring stuff. You know, if you’re gonna use the news team, that’s gonna be great for the show in an election year because everybody knows them, everybody’s familiar with them, and you know, with guest hosts, it’s like it’s literally a different quarterback every week, and they may have a different comedic flavor and it’s great to play around with.
That’s some, but if comedy and new satsire flows through their host, you want a familiar face or as many familiar face as there are as possible. I think that is well said. I think they got to stop with the guest hosts. I’m glad John is back. I’m sorry John’s only doing one day a week.
They should pick somebody for the other four or three, right, it’s not on Friday other three. While he was like, you were frustrated by the process, you exited right, skipping ahead, Roy says it wasn’t frustration as much, it was fear. It was more fear like for my own career, like I don’t know what you’re gonna do. I don’t know how you’re gonna make moves, So let me start thinking about what’s next now while I still have a little bit of time and the strike was about to end. I was afraid of being a man without a country.
I was afraid of them hiring a new host that doesn’t want me. I’m afraid of not being in the plans. If you don’t know what the plans are and you’re looking at doing things, I have to hedge. Okay, let me take the time now before January and before February to start looking at other things and exploring other things and then creatively. I just didn’t think there was a way to do that and honor the position of correspondent appropriately and do the job right.
Am I in the mixed to host? I don’t know. I’ve always said if they call me and want me to come back as a host, that would be a conversation. I’d consider that. But in the meantime, we’re talking about the job of correspondent escaping head.
So now imagine you’re at a job and you’re not sure what the plan is for you to host or not or to continue as a correspondent next year, depending on what the do creative iteration is of the show. Let me jump in, Roy, love you man. Comedy Central’s kind of made it clear you’re not gonna host the show. I mean, I don’t know what they have to do to let you know you were not the choice. You were there.
If they wanted you, they would have picked you. Roy said, you know that your alternative is scripted film and TV, right, or are creating your own nonscripted show. Well, the best opportunity to create your own nonscripted show is at the end of a strike, after you killed at a correspondent’s dinner. So that’s option one. Option two is to try and do something scripted, to make films, which they’re making less of.
They’re not going to be throwing money at bench of TV shows there. You don’t make pilots the way they used to. You’re not even gonna have a cast a bunch of people anymore. This is really interesting, Like eight or nine people in a show a year ago, Bob Hart’s Abashola had I think seven series regulars. They cut the show to two series regulars and then made everybody else recurring For people that don’t know the difference, Like a series regular that’s someone in every single episode recurring as somebody who comes in like Newman and Seinfeld, who’s in like three or four episodes a year, and you don’t see them all the time, but they’re in the world.
You’re making less television than television you are making, you’re making for cheaper than that.
All right, let’s try out that new segment I came up with yesterday, Seafood C…
I love it. This happened last August on Seafood Corner. Pete Davidson showed up with Bud’s Chicken and Seafood on the Dixie Highway in West Palm According to The Palm Beach Post, Pete Davidson ordered the chicken finger dinner and ate inside the restaurant. That’s Seafood Corner for you. World famous comedian Joey Gatso in the news again.
A remind you. If you ask one thousand people who’s Joey Gatto, nine hundred and ninety nine of them will go, I have no idea, and Mike and Cleveland will be like, dude, that’s the guy from Impractical Jokers. Well, apparently Mike in Cleveland works for AB six Philadelphia because they went with the headline comedian joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers performed at the met, but that’s not the exciting headline. The exciting headline is that met in Philadelphia helps consumers who couldn’t attend comedy show due to snow emergency. Yes, it is a world famous comedian Joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers controversy.
ABC six tells us the Action News Troubleshooters fielded nearly a dozen complaints from consumers demanding refunds for a Philadelphia comedy show that took place during a snow emergency, and they remind us comedian Joe Gatto is best known for staring in the television series and Practical Jokers, but fans also love his stand up. As a Christmas gift from their children, Nick and his wife received tickets for the show, but a heavy snowfall that day forced the area of snow emergency and closed schools and offices. Nick says the snow started to accumulate, the mayor issued a stern warning for drivers to stay off the roads. Nick is a rule follower, he said, especially being a new mayor, I wanted to be able to abide by her rules. That’s very kind of you, Nick.
So from one forty four pm in the afternoon that day until three pm, I continued to contact ticketmaster. He says he called the ticket master about five times to ask about a cancelation and a refund. He explained for the concern of driving for Bucks County down to the Met in the city. He says he also tried calling the Met. Many fans took to social media begging famous comedian Joey Gatto to cancel the concert.
Nick said, we have not been refunded the tickets or the money that my daughter in law and my son put out for the tickets themselves period and it’s a little over two hundred dollars. The Troubleshooters reached out too. World famous comedian Joey Gatto, known for hosting and Practical Jokers Live Nation and The Met. The met Philly tells ABC six we had a great show with the Met Philly with the vast majority of fans at attendants. We are proactively reaching out to fans who were unable to attend to offer tickets for them to come to a future show.
Nick says he’s very excited to choose a new show and ABC six leaves us with this wisdom for the future. Experts advise people to get insurance when buying tickets because you never know what might happen. I should get out there, but I’ve got a lot to tell you about today. Donald Glover has confirmed there is a script for a community. He said, I was told that the script was done.
I haven’t ready yet, but I was told it was done, So it’s really just a scheduling thing. I’m in. I’m all in. There’s a movie coming out. It’s a sequel to a movie about a ghost.
Wiring saying the title John because I don’t want to summon this particular spirit. But the title of the sequel to the original film. According to the instagram for the movie, the new title is Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. So you’re not tricking me into saying that a third time.
I don’t want that. Collider says. Chris Hardwick has a new gig. I’m a little confused by this one. Chris Wall host up for auction giving viewers previews of historic at Disney memorabilia before it’s auctioned off.
Okay, that’s fine. The series will air on the CW app so it’s not even on the CW. It’s on the cw app. What’s the viewership on the cw app less than this podcast? Possibly so for the four of you, I have five listeners for the four of you on the cw app.
Chris Hardwick will host Up for Auction February eighth. I’m sure he’s paid better than I am. Eight episodes on the cw app taking viewers to the Disney storage rooms to feast their eyes on iconic Disney history. By the way, right now, I’m having a good time hosting this again. I’m panicked that the audio sucked like it did yesterday.
Yesterday I felt like I had my good fastball and then that audio being rotten killed me. And I feel like I have my fastball again today. I hope this audio’s fine. Stupid zoom. The image is shared by Collider include shots of notable Disney memorabilia, including a vintage Dumbo ride car and an old timey Disney mapp.
Other items include a nineteen fifties Peter Pan ride vehicle, a nineteen seventies Haunted Mansion stretching portrait, and an animatronic from the It’s a Small World attraction. Holy O, how I got six stories left? We’re not doing six more sketch Fest. What you guys got first today? Oh my goodness, I forgot it’s a Friday.
There’s like nine billion shows. All right, we might be here for an hour. Gary Meself a soda, seven o’clock, The Ground Links, Improvised Shakespeare. That’s a different show. Facial Recognition comedy.
What’s this? Nationally touring stand up show featuring female identifying performers of Manasa, which is Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian descent. The show was created as a response to tokenism and underrepresentation and entertainment. That’s my kind of show. I like seeing different shows.
Also at seven Fake Ted Talks, Adam Savage, Amy Schneider, Guy Brainham, Jonathan Colton, Matt Bronger, and some others. That could be good. The Crossword Show with Zach Sher, when Mosha Casher’s on that one, Mario Toby with Paul F. Tompkins. That’s a lot of picks for seven will come back, nine thirty Asian af and there are there’s so many comedians I can’t count out loud.
It looks like fifteen, sixteen or seventeen comedians. I’m gonna make it go to that nine forty five Hot Sets with Sam Clark and Veronica kwai Kowski, Fake Ted Talks, and Riotopia with Paula Tompkins. All right, early show, let’s do facial recognition comedy, and then at nine point thirty, let’s do Asian af Right. So tonight we’re gonna see like twenty five comedians, none of whom we’ve seen before. And that’s my approach to a comedy festival.
If you’re in New Jersey, Ramy Yusef is taping his new special tonight, White Eagle Hall and Jersey City. This will eventually wind up on HBO Max Max Max, HBO Max Max, HBO, HBO Max, and then is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. You can follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you get your shows found in app.
