Caloroga Shark Media. Jimmy Fallon said, I can’t wait for March Madness. I can’t wait to see who wins and how it’s connected to a conspiracy about Taylor Swift. Uh watch out, Jimmy. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.

We are back to normal now. Thank you so much for the notes. I got a lot of notes on the side, and case you missed it, my mother passed away last week. Thank you. On Late Night, Jimmy Kimmel started talking about my favorite topic, Kate Gate.

What’s going on with Kate Middleton? As you probably know, I’m the writer on the podcast Palace Intrigue and boy, the numbers are just off the chain. About Kate Gate, Jimmy kimbl said, shows you how different it is in the UK. Kate goes missing for a few weeks, the whole country goes berserk.

Meanwhile, we haven’t seen Melenia since twenty twenty one.

John Oliver on his show said a certain someone’s Adobe free trial expired in a pretty public manner. Manity Fair is wondering if John Oliver is teasing a deep dive into the CAD’s Middleton controversy. Oliver was on What What Happens Live. Andy Cohen asked, what’s going on in Ky Middleton? Oliver said, I was out.

I thought let’s just ignore this. We’ve moved on until the photoshop thing. It feels like you’re almost handling it badly in an impressive way. At this point, Oliver joked, there’s a non zero chance she died eighteen months ago. They might be weekend at burning.

This situation non zero. I’m not saying it happened. I’m saying it’s non zero until proved otherwise, until you see her with a copy of the day’s newspaper. Back in twenty eighteen, he talked about Megan Markle and said, I don’t think you have to have seen the pilot episode of The Crown and get a basic sense that she might be marrying into a family that could cause some emotional complications. I mean, they’re an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo job.

That’s what she’s marrying into. So I hope she likes it. It’s gonna be weird for her. He was very prescient.

Meanwhile, the UK comedians having some fun.

Joe Lycett was one of the comedians at an event at Royal Albert Hall. Before he set he’d jumped down in the audience to experience their view. He noted he had never been to the Royal Albert Hall. Trivia question how many holes does it take to phill it? Think about that one?

John Lennon has your answer. He got his assistance from security, get back on stage and choked, I feel like a royal and then said where is she? Which got a big laugh. He added wrong place to say that, I imagine. Later in the night, comedian Paul Chaldry he joked about his confusion at people who edit their images on dating apps and later have to explain why they don’t look the same in real life, and he joked, who edited your pictures?

Kate Middleton? So much fun, palace intrigue. Wherever you get your shows. There’s a great new website called latenight or dot com. They cover late night.

It’s in the name. You could have figured that out without me telling you. Therefore, Desi Leidick has described Stephen Colbert wrote an email a long time ago. The email was to Rob Wriggle, and it’s been passed down from one generation of Daily Show correspondence to another. She said, Rob passed it along to Al Madrigal, Al passed along to Jordan Klepper, who passed it along to this generation.

What’s in the email? Desi said, they’re really good pointers, like know the three things that you really want to get from the interview subject and don’t leave until you get them. But she pointed out it’s not that easy. Colbert had the advantage of being brilliant at everything he does. Dmitri Martin will have a special all of a sudden next week.

Yeah wait, that’s not next week, John, That’s slightly more than a week from now. April second is when Dmitri Deconstructed comes out. There is a trailer. I’ll just play a snippet because he said a couple naughty words. But notice on this trailer the bass music very reminiscent of one of Mitch Hedberg’s albums that has the base on it.

I think it’s Strategic Grow Locations that has the base on it, and this really reminds me of that. Plus, Dimitri’s delivery is already in the Hedbergean Ballpark, so very interesting choice here, and can’t be accidental. Someone must have pointed that out right. Yes, let’s listen. My friend asked me if I ever went swimming with dolphins.

I said, yeah, definitely. I mean, what distance are we talking about from the dolphins? I’m pretty sure I swam with all of it the last time I was in the ocean. Apparently, Butttel has a special company in Netflix as well. I don’t think I’ve seen a proper announcement of that, but March twenty sixth on Netflix.

We’ll keep an eye out for that. Maybe a little announcement at some point. Kyle Knain is on the Last Laugh podcast. Some good advice from Kyle. He says, as a comedian, you get really locked into your surroundings.

Everybody from New York has jokes about the subway, Everybody from LA has jokes about auditions, and you sometimes forget there’s a whole country between those two cities. When I would visit my mother in the facility every day, she’d be like, did you see the person was pushing for the subway? And I’m like, no, I live in New Jersey. I don’t watch New York news, I don’t read the New York Post. I have no idea what you talk about?

Did you see the ooh creepy? You know what just happened? After I did that little not quite impression of my mom, I got a notification audio device has been disconnected from your computer. My mic crept out right, then weird, Hi mom, Kyle said, what’s really important to me is work life balance. The whole hustle culture like you have to sacrifice your entire existence for success.

I don’t subscribe to that idea of success. Your life is yours, It doesn’t belong to an industry. He said. The first peak of his career was around twenty ten. Maybe there’s another one coming, I don’t know.

That was when Comedy Central asked him to come in and record a few promos. He became the voice of Comedy Central. That was around the time we created Comedy Central Radio and Kyle did the liners for that radio station, which I created. Kyle said the network never gave him a contract, but just kept bringing him back week after week and year after year. Kyle said, right away, my expectations were set.

You have it, but you’re not gonna have it forever, but you have it for now, so be grateful. Before Kyle the job belonged to Pengulette, and he said, I don’t want to be stealing anybody’s job, but I think he’s probably doing all right. I think he’s got to mansion in Vegas or something. Kyle was the voice for about a decade, and then he started hearing from comedian friends that Comedy Central was booking auditions to replace him. He jokes, I lost it.

How I got it? Good thing. I wasn’t spending the money because I knew it wasn’t going to be forever. They also asked him about why Comedy Central has fallen by the wayside. Is the phrasing and he said, if I had answers like that, I wouldn’t be talking to you from a basement in Portland.

Again. Hopefully you can hear in my voice today. I’m in even in my jokes about the microphone that I am feeling. Okay, thank you so much. I got so many notes from listeners.

Again, thank you. Becky went to buy me a coffee dot com. Now I’m not here to shill for coffee. I just want to thank Becky. She did go there and bought me five coffees.

I won’t do the full you RL today because it’s not about trying to get a coffee out of you. I just want to thank Becky for doing that, and she also sent me a note thank you very much, Becky.

Speaking of the National Donuts chain, when I was there this morning, I was w…

Now, if you’re a relatively new listener, Evil billing Vall is a guy that kind of looks like Bill Angvall, except he as a goateee, you know, like the mister spock Er evil abed thing if you have a go tee, or the evil version of the real version. Now, I know this joke makes no sense because actual bill Ingvall often has a go tee. But this character is Evil bill Ingvall nailed the door for me, and dude, he’s super nice. He was like super friendly. He’s like, hey, man, I have a great day.

So not so Evil bill Ingvall. But his character is Evil Billing That’s who he is. David tell Is on Mark Marin’s podcast this week. I did not get to listen to it yet for reasons well discussed. John Oliver on SmartLess also haven’t gotten to it yet.

At some point I’ll listen to those and I’ll pull some clips. Apparently, Oliver told these SmartLess guys he’s not interested in acting again, saying I haven’t done a lot of acting, and I think when I have done it, I’m not sure I would call it acting. And I remember Jonathan Banks, legitimate actor, came up to me before Seen and said, I just wanted to talk about what our characters are doing before this, and I had to tell him, Oh, Jonathan, I’m just going to say these words in the funniest possible way. Banks said, you know when actors act opposite a tennis ball, I’ll be that ball for you. John Clees is on Bill Maher’s podcast.

I haven’t listened to it yet for reasons well discussed. He said he has used a medium to communicate with the Lates Graham Chapman. Apparently Clees hired a psychic to quote explore his consciousness, but found himself communicating with Chapman. Clees claims the medium referred to facts that she couldn’t possibly have known. She said, who’s Graham?

And I said he’s probably Graham Chapman. She says he’s going on about a pipe. I said, but yes, he always smoked a pipe. Then she said he’s rolling up his trouser leg and I said, oh, that’s a sketch we did about the Freemasons. Bill Maher was like, maybe she saw the sketch and Clee said, no, it’s only been aired once or twice.

The sketch first aired in nineteen seventy and it’s been viewed two million times on YouTube. On Cleesa’s next visit, the psychic said Graham was waving a monkey with a strapeytail. Now you may not know there is a lemur named Clees’s wooly lemur named after him. I’ve told that story in the past. But Clee said, there’s no way she would have known that.

John. Maybe she listens to Daily Comedy News. She said, why is he showing this to me? He says, it’s named after you, and I said, no, it means that that species of lemur is named after me. There’s no way she would have known that except for the two million views and even me mentioning it.

Mill Maher said, are you sure it wasn’t in the twenty five Things you Don’t Know about Me and US magazine, because that’s the kind of thing you might get there. That sounds fun. I will have to listen to that. A DC Sketch Fest starts tonight, Executive producer Isaiah Heaton told WTOP when they first started this thing, we’d been traveling around the country going to sketch fests all over and we wanted to bring one here to Washington. We’ve been growing a lot the last couple of years.

There’s so many new teams, so it felt like the right time to bring the community together to showcase the talent and invite our friends from all over the country to come participate. One hundred performers from twenty two comedy troops from all over the US and Canada. Apparently there’s some regionality. Heaton says. The Seattle teams tend to be very silly and wacky, whereas the New York teams are very sharp, so you’re getting a mixed flavor palette of styles of comedy that kicks off tonight.

Boy, I’ve got ten more stories since a get too. That’s what happens when you pre taped four episodes in a row. Don’t worry, the weekend’s coming. I’ll get to the ball. Let’s see, let’s do gossip Corner and then we’ll get out of here.

On gossip Corner, Kevin Hart was spotted at Jeff Ruby’s steakhouse. No word on what he ate or not. I thought he was like mister Vegan now hmm. Trevor Noah looking for a new place in New York City. Apparently he was spotted checking out a three bedroom, three and a half bath unit asking seven point four million dollars in building on Tenth Street.

Design details include oversized arch windows, barrel vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, and views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and Hudson Yards. Bill Maher has broken up with Talent Agency CAA after not being invited to the co chairman’s Oscars party. And as if the recent week wasn’t terrible enough, Adam Sandler movies are going to be released in Imax. Oh my goodness, what are you people doing to me? Luckily it’s not a terrible Adam Sandler movie.

It’s the good one, uncut Gems in Imax May twenty second. If for some reason you want to do that, that’s a thing that exists, and that’s your comedy news for today. I’m glad to be back. Thank you At i’le see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Chunny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Nick Swartson took to Instagram and took the Denver Gazette to task. This happened last Friday, you may recall. Recently, Swartzen was removed from the stage twenty minutes into his set.

He was incoherent, according to eyewitnesses. Swartzen posted a screenshot of the Denver Gazette report and commented, been a minute to address this, so bleeping dumb that this is news with all that’s going on in the world, Love my fans. I’m sorry edibles, alcohol and altitude will happen.

Also, I’m not the first person to try that combo in Colorado.

All caps good Lord Jose have been great after and will be Love you. Comedians are humans like everyone. Heart emochi. That got some social media reactions. One user said, hey, Nick, I’m a huge fan.

One of the reasons this is such a big story is because he went on Theo’s podcast talking about how you almost died from alcohol. We love you and we want you to be healthy. That’s all. Another wrote, get out, brother, ain’t no shame someone else. The three worst hangovers in my life was at veil and I live in Denver.

Ten thousand feet is no joke, Man, totally understandable. David Letterman was on Inside the NBA last week. He presented a series of ideas on how the NBA could improve the game. Kenny Smith said, is this anything like a top ten list? Letterman said, why would you say that?

Would it be bad if it was. Some of the ideas include five and ten point lines, team mascot’s getting all foul shots on the fourth quarter. I kind of liked that one, and a proposal to redesign the court to include two extra baskets. Even brought a diagram. Ernie Johnson asked if Letterman did that free hand.

Dave said, that’s all computer stuff. Letterman was on for like fifteen minutes. Here’s like a minute or so of that conversation. Not particularly hilarious, but I love a Dave. I didn’t know this was studio Jay.

Yeah, yes, named after Ernie. No, it’s Jobson. No really, Jim Reeves, the late Jim Reeves was a great video guy for us. It’s name for him. That’s lovely.

So a guy who actually put in time in this building. Actually, yeah, it worked tirelessly and make the show look as good as it does on some And the other thing I’m thrilled about is I think I heard one of you invoke the phrase mofo, which you know around the house. I don’t get to use that much. You know, you worked with us on All Star Weekend. You and Reggie Miller.

Is Reggie Miller, What a sweet guy. It was a real thrill for me and the production crew that I worked with or worked with me or vice versa. They did all the work. They were tremendous, and everybody here. When I was at CBS, everybody was It was like a minimum security prison and nobody was guilty, and everybody wanted to go home.

Here everyone is happy and they’re free, and they say they leave the middle of the night. You guys will be here till the sun comes up, and everybody happy and laughing going on. Well. Thirty years ago, Bill Carter wrote The Late Shift book, a fantastic book, and the HBO movie The Late Shift is pretty good. At the time people made fun of, especially the Jay Leno impression.

I think that movie’s fantastic. Bill Carter also has a new website called Late Night Her, which I’ve been checking out a lot very good website anyway, Bill Carter said, when I was finishing the book thirty years ago, I initially concluded that Dave had won because he instantly commanded the biggest audiences, knocking Leno’s Tonight Show from the pinnacle of late night for the first sustained period in the show’s history. But then Jay regained superiority and seemingly vindicated NBC’s decision to coordinate him, except it never fully resolved. Letterman retained his elite position in the late night pantheon while Leno piled up ratings titles. They could never fully escape being linked together.

That is true. Looking this in the rearview mirror now, I feel like Letterman did make the pantheon, and I feel like Leno is one of those guys that made the Hall of Fame because he played a lot of years. But to be fair, hosting the Tonight Show, you’re not supposed to if you see young Jay Leno on Letterman particularly, he was edgy, and when you sit behind the Tonight Show desk, you gotta kind of be more vanilla. And maybe that’s why Jimmy Fallon is good at it and Conan struggled a little bit. Who knows.

Bill Carter has another book about the Second Transition, the one involving Conan O’Brien. Let me tell you what that one’s called. That one I liked a lot. I read it on the plane to Australia one time. That one’s called The War for Late Night when Lena went early and television went crazy.

Also very good. Deadline reports that Stephen Colbert will narrate Pope Francis’s six hour audiobook. That book is called Life My Story Through History that went out this week. The Pope has a new audiobook, Life My Story Throughout History. He guess who’s narrating it wrong, Stephen Colbert.

Maybe he did guess Stephen Colbert.

Speaking of notable Catholics, Jim gaff again has his weekly column on CBS Ne…

This week, Jim wrote, part of me can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I like bourbon. I don’t know if that means that I’m an old man or just an alcoholic enjoying hard liquors. New for me. I’ve always it’s been a beer guy in the past. When a friend would say, let’s get a Scotch and whiskey.

I think, well, I guess we could pretend like we’re in a Tennessee. Williams play James said, I decided to surprise my wife by buying a couple bottles of bourbon. Don’t tell me I’m not romantic. After the cashier wrapped up the last bottle and bubble wrapped like with some precious historical artifact, she casually mentioned, I don’t know if this is a big deal, but this bottle of bourbon cost eleven hundred dollars. Does it matter only if my children expect to go to college.

It should have been an easy answer. Nobody needs an eleven hundred dollars bottle of bourbon. Haven’t gotten to this one? Yeah? It’s Amazon Prime has Ricky Stinicky that follows the misadventures of three loyal, yet irresponsible friends.

They are played by Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and Andrew Santino. They are forced to bring their imaginary scapegoat friend Ricky Stanicky, to life. They do this by hiring rock Hard Rod, who is played by John Cena. Santino and Fowler did a bunch of press. They didn’t take any of it too seriously.

Rephrasing their comedians. They just gave joke answers to everything. Santino said on set, we meaning Faler, are good friends. We’re very different, and I think we have all these friends in real life that we love as people, but our lifestyles are extremely different. The way we’ve grown has been so different.

But at the cores that we love each other, we still love to have fun together. In real life, I would say we’re closer than we are in the film. We’re both comedians and actors and two handsome young black men, so we have a lot of that in common. I think Fowler said it’s true he’s pretty black. Now I’ve learned a lot from this dude, Like his knowledge about Rolex watches is pretty outstanding, no joke.

I’ve heard him talk about cars and watches in golf and I’m like, man, I just like listening you talk about it. The New York Yankees will give away a George Costanza babblehead. That’s on Seinfeld Night July fifth, May Martin is putting out an album, but they told Mark Marin, I’m doing earnest music. I’m putting out an album this year of the most mediocre emotional songs. The music is guitar based.

May said, I’m embarrassed by it, so I don’t know how I’m ever going to promote it. I might just put it out quietly. If a musician listens to it, I think they’ll be like, this is very mediocre. Tyberrell will lead the ABC comedy Forgive and Forget, you know Tie from Modern Family. Forgive and Forget revolves around Hank, the perennial life of the party you, after an unexpected diagnosis, reconnects with his responsible adult son Ben in hopes of making new memories together.

Mary Lynn Rice Cub You know her. She was Chloe on twenty four and she is a comedian. She has joined the Netflix, CBC and APTN comedy North of North. It has begun production in none of it Northern Canada. Part of this is Canadian governments will pay for Canadian content.

Not sure what the plot of that one is. Sean Kaine’s album came out last week. Didn’t get to tell you about it for reasons we discussed on Saturday. America’s Uncle Dad is available everywhere. Streaming audio is enjoyed.

Sean jokes about mass transit, yoga culture psychedelics, growing Up with an adorable lisp, and a takedown of Simon garfocal classic that they promise will forever change how you hear the song. Some of the tracks on Sean Kean’s Uncle Dad are Mom Goes Online, uh oh and Psyched Alexaid Karaoke Caitlyn Belufo. I was going to do an interview with Caitlyn and that got lost in the shuffle for reasons discussed on Saturday. Her new album is out as well, and she shared two clips well us, so let’s play the clips. Honestly, I didn’t think I had a drinking problem until I stopped drinking for one month and immediately lost fifteen pounds.

That’s twins, Yes, that is the weight of healthy twins. I dropped little little Morgan Rita right there. You know. My body was like, girl, we’ll give you abs. Just put down the sangria.

It’s not fruit, okay, all right. I thought the pandemic was going to be a party because I thought it was going to be me and my younger boyfriend getting hammered every night. That’s what I thought. But it turns out he’s not a big drinker. Yeah, I know, and I honestly should have known because I saw him take night quill from the cap, so I was like, we are different people.

I use a straw, who measures their medicine? What a door? Right? Get a personality. Spiked online dot com wrote about the sand demise of the Montreal Comedy Festival.

They said, Montreal is huge. Comedians used to scheduled careers and international holidays around it. It was crucially the North American industry trade fair for decades. It was the springboard between the club circuit and the five minute breakout spot on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, or whatever thin Democratic Party propaganda grule the punch drunk American people are currently accepting as their late nights will supposedly, by twenty twenty five, Montreal will re emerge in a scale down format after a financial restructuring, but it surely won’t be the same. I agree, a scale down versus Montreal is not the same.

That was such a good festival. So I was talking about it earlier today that I’m sad about it. I want to go up there. I guess I’ll just go up to Montreal for Montreal’s sake. Now, like Don Lonon writes, you may be asking yourself, why should I care.

I’d like to raise the possibility that it’s symptomatic of something much bigger, much widespread, and then it should indeed worry all of us. My suspicion is that this is one of many events, former behemoths of live entertainment that have returned post lockdown, but in zombie mode. Lazarus like, they walk out in the light, but something is awry. They have no soul, there’s something missing behind the eyes. Yes, live events are back technically speaking, and I’ve been back for a few years now, but something is still just very slightly off.

Something’s not quite right. They then talk about how movie going has changed and wrote, perhaps the comedy festival and the cinema, or just a couple of entertainment options whose time head come. That’s your comedy news for today. I’m going to get serious here, So if you are just came for the comedy, you’re dismissed. For everybody else.

I’m recording this on Sunday, and this section here, I’m on stake four, as I’ve stumbled several times already, Monday was my mom’s wake and Tuesday was the funeral. I got a lot of notes from listeners, and I’ve responded to them individually, so I’m not going to do a shout out or a laundry list of you know things. Thanks to so and so and so and so. Thank you so much for the individual notes. It meant a lot.

And there was just an edit there where I choked up. I really really appreciate the notes. Everybody all right, we should be back to normal tomorrow. Thank you again. We’ll see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Neil Brennan will have a new special on April ninth, Netflix. Neil is absolutely in ascendency. His podcast is really good.

Each special is better than the last. He’s gotten out of being like me having to qualify Neil Brennan. You know the guy from Chappelle Schell. He’s just Neil Brennan now, and probably by the end of the year we’ll be right at the top of the comedy game. Definitely in acendency, Neil told The Hollywood Reporter.

If you’re watching this special because you saw my other Netflix specials and I talked about having depression and you wanted to support a fellow traveler, I have some terrible news. I feel pretty great. He spends a healthy portion of crazy. Good is the name of a special joking about the perks of bad mental health. The Hollywood Reporter said, Before I got a chance to screen your new special, I found a thread on Reddit where people had seen it started weighing in.

Neil goes uh oh. Holly reporter said, Now I bring it up because I was struck by this one comment to who wrote his material was outstanding, probably the best I’ve ever seen him do. I’m really curious how it translates to a special, and I was fan base reacts because some people definitely see him as the mental health guy. That’s an idea you play with. Right at the top of the special, Neil said, and I’ll tell you why I did.

I did the show in DC last summer. I just came out and started talking, and a guy DM me after the show and said, I brought my girlfriend. It was my birthday. We’d bought tickets for the front row, and I just kept waiting for you to show up, and I knew it was going to happen something like that. I always want to do a bit about the kind of heckles I get, which are like, be sadder, So I put that at the beginning.

I’m like, if you want me to be sad, I’m sorry, I’m not sad. That sort of covered it, and weirdly it made the whole show better. It was a good note from the guy. I’ve been feeling pretty good for a couple of years, to the point where when I did blocks the previous special, I had to kind of tap into the old feeling. So this was a new feeling of optimism, or at least accepting that bad mental health can be good, or whatever we consider bad mental health has propelled most of civilization.

Of course, you could argue that isn’t My mental health got better, my comedy got better. So I’m saying one thing and maybe exhibiting another. But I wasn’t going to present to be sad when I wasn’t. And I’m not saying don’t go to therapy. I’m just saying, like, don’t want certain people to have a good work life balance.

I don’t want like the head of Homeland Security to take up photography or poetry. You know what I mean, do your job all the time, be obsessed with it. Neil says. The other big thing is this idea about who our cultural and civilizational leaders are now, and how it feels like comedians are because everybody else is completely failed. There’s obviously lying religion, corrupts religious organizations, corrupt political leaders, corrupt corporate leaders, corrupt civic leaders, media, everyone’s in somebody’s pocket, and it seems like comedians are the only ones incentivized to be honest.

But then there’s this weird thing because now we’re the moral leaders, and we’re like what I almost called the special What are the clowns think? Why is it up to Chappelle and Brogan and Ellen and Kevin Hart and Shane Gillis Andrew Schultz? Why are these people now moral leaders when that’s not the job. I understand how we got here, but I think it’s a silly expectation. This is really interesting.

Neil says, I’m in this weird place where I’m not famous enough to get substantially canceled, Like I’m not going to get a job and lose it the way Shane Gillis did, which again became his propulsion. It’s quote Bill Burr, what are they gonna do? Take away my podcast? Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas takes bribes. Why you’re worried about what Kevin said in his monolog or what Bill said or whatever?

Or junts do it’s not allowed to say that. Biden’s old? Do you not understand what comedy is? But whenever people talk about Dave or Joe being canceled, I just think they’re doing arenas. Shane just did the Chicago Theater five times.

It’s eighteen thousand tickets. The thing about being canceled is you’re basically just getting free promo Alabama dot Com. Al dot Com asked Marlon Wayans about his friendship with Tupac Shakur. Marlon said, Pac and I were very similar in that we were two poor kids that were lucky enough to go to performing arts high school. So there’s an ecotomy there because, yeah, you grew up in the hood, we also appreciate the arts, and you’re lucky enough to have this outlet and it kind of saves your life in a sense.

Everybody knew him as this gangster. I knew him as very intelligent philosopher, extremely well read, really great at poetry. Just one of those multi talented people, and he was funny. If you ever sat in a room with Pac, you laughed. Famous comedy series The Bear on FX.

You know, the hilarious The Bear. I like that show a lot, but I can’t believe they keep entering it in Best Comedy. The voters go, yeah, that’s a comedy. It’s not. It’s great, but it’s not a comedy.

Source is confirmed to The hollyd Reporter that The Bear has been renewed for a fourth season. They’re going to film seasons three and four back to back to accommodate everyone’s schedule. Netflix has revealed that Brian Simpson Live from the Mothership is out today, directed by Baron Vaughan and is filmed at Joe Rogan’s comedy Mothership. In the special, Brian Simpson covers everything from racism and gun violence to in vitro fertilization and masculinity. Brian was named a new face at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in twenty twenty one.

Has got bumped from last week for reasons, I explained. On Saturday, Jim Brewer was playing Northeast Pennsylvania. He was excited about. He said he’d been there a bunch. That’s how I remember the first time I played there.

It was with Ralphie May. This touches me because I know Jim are really well and I knew Ralphie pretty well. They asked Jim to look back on his career, which includes Saturday Night Live and Half Baked, and Jim said, I would say my favorite moments are the most fun times, not so much the monuments. Whenever I got a chance to do a thing with a rock star, like the lead singer of a CDC. Brian Johnson, go on stage at Madison Square Garden and sing a song with Billy Joel or tour with Metallica.

Those things are way more exciting to me than any TV or film or anything like that. They asked me to open up their shows, to basically set the mood and create an atmosphere, and do it however I wanted. It was the greatest thing. Ever, the fact that I got paid is almost silly. In a recent Instagram live video, Monique revealed that Cat Williams had been looking out for comedian a Vett Wilson before she passed away in twenty twelve, losing a battle with stage four cervical cancer and kidney disease.

Wuik said, I want to say this about our brother, Cat Williams. Throughout the years, ID always hear things like, all right, he won’t show up with the shows. He ain’t this, he ain’t that. That’s one of the purest cats in the game. A friend had started an online fundraiser for twenty five thousand dollars for the actress.

The website only reached fifty six percent of the twenty five Atlanta Blackstar reported the Cat donated twelve thousand dollars to the cause. Monique said, there was a woman named Vette Wilson who played Adella on The Parkers, and it was a man named Cat Williams who just stepped in and took care of that sister until she left this earth. Hey, remember that recent Willy Wonka disaster thing. While a new musical is coming out, Willy Fest, a musical parody, will take inspiration from the Scottish event that went awry. You may recall the event was billed as an immersive experience.

The organizers used AI generated photos to track customers, who, upon arriving, found themselves on a drab warehouse. Customers compared the event to a meth lab. Actor Paul Connell, who was among three actors hired to play Willy Wonka, said he had been sent to script that was fifteen pages of AI generated gibberish of me just monologuing mad things. The musical will be a b horror movie inspired by the event, The creator said. Imagine if Edwood and p.

T. Bornham got into environmental experiences fueled by a million dreams and zero dollars, it might turn out like this. While mostly nothing but wreckage and a disaster of this magnitude, we think it screams out musical. The Guardian has seen the new documentary Remembering Gene Wilder. They write, generations of viewers got to know Gene Wilder as Willy Wan Blanka, and the new documentary argues that’s the goodest place as any to start.

Were transported back to the fond memories of the candy Man’s immortal introduction. He hobbles out to meet his adoring public with cane in hand, staggers a bit, starts to stumble, then somerselts himself into a sprightly upright stance. Like so many of Gen Wilder’s finest moments, it was surprised to his scene partners, proving his nimble versatility as a performer. He could mind humor from tension, aggravation or anxiety, but his desire to keep the public on their toes always gave way to a welcoming friendliness in his art, as in his life. With his mother’s hard condition, he had to make her laugh instead of making her angry.

Wild they grew up another premise that comedy and pain were close cousins, evident in the development of screen persona constantly teetering on the brink of a breakdown. The director says he was good, as though, why is this happening to me? Guy? While there is dynamic with co star Clevon Little and Blazing Saddles pointed to his next partnership, that one with Richard Pryor. For Blazing Saddles, the executives at Warner’s had declared Richard uninsurable and insist that on a replacement.

Over the course of four films together, Wilder and Prior would forge a close bond, even though Prior struggled with addictions that often threw wrenches into the production process. Wilder’s final film with Prior was called Another You, was also his final film appearance. He did a short lived sitcom called Something Wilder and a two episode stint on Will and Grace I Don’t Remember Something Wilder. Something Wilder ran on NBC from October first, ninety four to June thirteenth of ninety five. A fifty something husband, Gene Bergmann played by Wilder, and his wife Annie, who’s in her thirties, are learning to cope with raising their four year old fraternal twin sons.

Eighteen episodes three never aired. Alice Cooper guest starred in the fourteenth episode, which was titled Hanging with Mister Cooper. Gene unexpectedly finds himself cast on a TV appearance promoting Cooper’s new hit single, Marlon Maples. She was married to somebody famous one point. Guest starred on the episode Love Native American Style.

I have no memory whatsoever of this, but it was nineteen ninety four and I was hanging out, the director says. When we talk to Alan Alda, he shared a story about worrying before one of the films he directed came out what the critics might say. He was commiserating with Gene, who told Alan Alda, what difference does it make if they pay the film? So? What big deal you made it?

It’s finished, it’s over. Be proud of it. Gan knew how to live life well, remembering Gene Wilder is in theaters now. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program and tell a friend about it, they might like it too.

See tomorrow

But it’s not in the comedy clubs.

I headlined Tracy Morgan.

Also stars Deal, Hugh Lee, Bruce, Bruce Nephew, Tommy, Lonnie Love, dj Envy, …

We are told fans can expect an unforgettable night of entertainment. Okay, cracked dusted this one off. I thought this was interesting. Early in Norm MacDonald’s stand up career. He had a routine about dogs that did really well on late night shows.

The joke, these dogs, they’re getting kind of expensive. He goes to a pet store where a high pressure salesman tries to sell him a five hundred dollars pit bull. So the guy goes, buy this dog. Here, there’s a pit bull. It would protect your valuables.

You know, I don’t have any valuables. If I bought a pit bull, that would be the most valuable thing I own. I’d have to buy something to protect it. I’d be out shopping for wolverines. My half assed norm is even more half assed than usual.

Listen a Saturday show and you’ll understand why. At one point, Norma told Tom Green Sam Kinnison came to Canada. He wasn’t famous or nothing. He took a liking to me and took me across the country. Was the greatest time I ever had.

I had a good act. Sam said, you’ve got good jokes, man. I know I should talk about dogs here. Really interested in dogs? Norm said, no, I don’t give a hood about dogs.

Kennison said, why don’t you talk about what you’re interested in? Norm said. From then on it became death. I don’t know what the average person thinks. I think you know it’s always on your mind.

I’ll ruminated about it for long periods of time for no purpose or no avail. It’s worthless except for generating jokes. He said, I did death material in my stand up special. Now that’s gone so I can move on. I really just think about stuff for stand up.

I got caught on one subject for a long period of time. Once I’ve exhausted the subject, I’m free now in my life not to think about death. Norm said, I’m very, very proud of stand up. I’m ashamed of almost everything else like this interview. The Aussies did not enjoy a comedy roast of John Klees.

Yahoo says despite heavy promotion by the local network on which it aired, the roast of John Clees was a ratings and critical failure. I got less than one third of the audience that reality series Married at First Sight got. Wow Viewers expressed their disappointment at the unfunny hour long show. One person on Twitter said, we have an enviable climate, but Australians do not do comedy well. The John Clees roast was a shocker.

Comedian Tom Gleeson joke. When I was growing up, I was a big fan of Monty Python. But then again, I was also a fan of Bill Cosby and Ralph Harris. So I’m just bracing myself for the allegations. When viewers said it’s important when you’re ro John Clees on National TV to actually roast the recipient, I asked chat GPT to roast John Clees.

They said John Colees’s comedy is so timeless, even as wrinkles of bunch lines. They say, behind every great man is a great woman. In John Cleese’s case, it’s probably his therapist. See those aren’t bad. The Guardian watched the film Sorry Not Sorry and wrote, the outrageousness of what Louis C.K.

Did is totally lost in the film. Caroline sue, I hope I’m saying your name right. Suh is a filmmaker and when of the stuff about Louis came out in twenty seventeen, Caroline said, my immediate reaction was, honestly, is it that bad? And my generation when we were coming up, we saw a lot of bad behavior and it was like, that’s just the way it is. Shortly afterwards, in a statement, Louis C.K.

Said at the time, I said to myself what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my stuff without asking first, which is also true. What I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your stuff isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me, and I wielded that power irresponsibly. Caroline analyzed her own initial reaction and began to see it as outdated, but she wanted explore it came from.

She teamed up with fellow filmmaker Karen Monas to create this documentary. Monas initially worried about giving Louis a platform, but said they centered on the women and realized how little most people knew about the backlash. This is interesting, writer Abbie Shackner The Guardian says essential to both the film and the original York Times story. After she was subjected to Louis C.K. Doing self stuff during a phone call, was criticized in a Netflix special by Dave Chappelle.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chappelle be Little’s her claim that CK’s behavior deterred her from pursuing a career in comedy, and says, B word, you don’t know how to hang up a phone. How the after you’re going to survive and show business if this is an actual obstacle to your dreams. So the question is always why did the women react like that? It’s never why did ck do what he did? Caroline says, the outrageousness of what Louis did is totally lost in the discussion.

Sorry not sorry. He’s on streaming platforms w comal Bell is doing a San Francisco residency after a five year break. The Chronicle spoke to him. He says, it’s been hombling because it doesn’t come back right away meeting the comedy. It’s twenty twenty four, and it’s the election.

If there’s a time for me specifically to be doing stand up comedy, it’s right now. He spends about an hour each week cycling through fresh strokes, riffing on everything from the Fulsome Street Fair to emoji’s and the upcoming election. He marks his notes scribbled on a stack of loose papers that he props up on a music stand next to him. Tick Totoro’s making the rounds she’s got a special coming out, and as she starts to do press again, I’m reminded the last time she did a press tour for a special she didn’t come across pretty well. Was it with Conan?

Somebody mispronounced her last name and she was kinda like, I don’t know, there was a better way to handle it. Really turned me off to her, to be honest. Anyway, she was on with Kelly and Mark Consuelos. Investigative reporter Kelly Rippo said, so you’re a mom to seven year old twin boys. Tig said, I thought you were going to say seven children, but yeah, they’ll be eight in June.

Ripper said, oh wow. I always think that having kids’ horme. Having two at the same time seems to be like baffling to me. Do your kids know you? Do they know what you do for a living?

Tick said, yeah, they know me. They don’t think I’m funny. I’m that person that’s like a hack in the house, but they know I do stand up and when they see me or anything I’m in on TV or streaming services, they refer to me as Tignazaro, So they’ll see me and say, oh, there’s tig Nazaro. There’s sting Nazaro. Did you scroll right past?

TJ Miller spoke to w RK or DJ has partnered with two family businesses for his lines of peanut butter and hot sauce. Did not see that coming. His new comedy album is titled Smooth Peanut Butter. Miller said he loves peanut butter so much and he wanted to make his own, but he needed to find the right partner. Back in twenty nineteen, he tweeted about the company be Happy Peanut Butter, saying it was the best he’s ever had.

They saw it and flaunted their newfound fan. Within two years, the small, family owned Indiana Peanut Butter Company partnered with TJ. Miller to produce his own line of custom peanut butters. But wait, there’s more. Years earlier, he had made his own line of hot sauces with the Skull Brothers, also a family owned company in Indiana.

He said, I had some other stuff. I liked it, and he asked me one time if I’d ever be interested in partnering with them, and I was like, Hell, yes, let’s do it. They had three different sauces. TJ said his favorite was the TJ’s Choice Chipotle Hot Sauce. You can find all his other sauces, including the one that the article says we cannot say.

Oh, I’m going to look on his personal website. TJ said, I’m glad I got to work with these families for these products.

---

All right, let’s go to TJ Miller.

Okay, I typed in Tjmiller dot com and I don’t see anything. But there’s a website called Tjmiller does not have a website dot com. There’s a storefront. Here’s some hot sauces. All right, we’re getting closer.

Here we have TJ’s Choice Chipotle Hot Sauce twenty bucks, Extreme Gangster Heat Hot Sauce twenty bucks, TJ’s Diet Hot Sauce twenty bucks, and autographed hot sauce is coming soon. Those will cost you thirty dollars if you want autographed hot sauce. And the one that we can’t say is called f Intense Ghost pepper type stuff.

Meanwhile, the peanut butter Toffee Crispy twenty dollars, Chocolate cherry t…

Come with an autograph for just thirty dollars. I don’t know if this is an official site or not, because it’s called the TJ. Miller does not have a website dot com and the Google slug is welcome to not TJ. Miller’s website, so who knows. People also ask did TJ Miller have brain surgery?

What? Wait? What? I clicked on it? TJ stated he became more philosophical and narrated his behaviors and was unable to sleep while filming Yogi Bear in New Zealand in twenty ten.

His brain surgery was successful. Wait what did I just stumble into? And why don’t I edit this so I don’t sound like an idiot Wikipedia. Miller described learning about an undiagnosed cerebral orteria venus malformation on his right frontal lobe on the Peede Holmes podcast You Made It Weird back in twenty eleven. He’s, Wow, that’s awkward, especially because that’s the end of the podcast.

I guess we’re ending very awkward today. See you tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media, the show must go on. Hi, I’m Johnnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see RFK Junior is considering a vice presidential candidate and it might be Jesse Ventura, or it might be in New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Even coldpart joke. Now, that’s a risky move to pick Aaron Rodgers, because if we’ve learned one thing, when he starts running, he’s gonna snap his achilles.

Jimmy Kimmel, these are not running mates. These are the people of the mass. Singer calls. When Rob Schneider says no, Jimmy Fallon said, RFK Junior was like, do you want to give it a shot? And Rogers said no, but I’ll give it a horse to warmer love it.

Kevin Costner was asked to react to John Mulaney’s wonderful recap of the Field of Dreams. Costner retweeted mullane’s bit and wrote, not a bad summary, John Mulaney can rest easy. TMZ reporting that sources with direct knowledge who’ve already read Anna Marie Tyler’s memoir and it used to being married to Joe on Malany. The sources tell TMZ that Mulanie is never mentioned in the book, either directly or indirectly. TMZ says, not only are we told that he isn’t named in the book, but there’s no alluding to him or their marriage.

In other words, m’lini makes no cameos in this whatsoever. Literally nothing that’s interesting. Will Dave Chappelle be at SummerSlam? Well, if Logan Paul has anything to say about it, Dave Chappelle will be at SummerSlam coming to Cleveland. If you’re in Cleveland on August third, there’s a rumor going around of people who could possibly be at SummerSlam.

Dave Chappelle was one of those names. Sea scoops dot com You’re home for Comedy News says a lot of people either sleep on Cleveland or they use the city as a punchline, one that has long lost its topical punch. The truth is that a lot of big names have come out of the city, and Logan Paul wants his Cleveland connection to turn out for SummerSlam. He’s hoping Machine Gun Kelly will come, the Kelsey Brothers, and also Dave Chappelle. He says, I want to bring my brother Jake Paul.

I want MGK to be there. I want the Kelsey Brothers to be there. I want to be one of the biggest events Cleveland has ever seen. And hopefully I can get an opponent who I could bring the house down with. Oh, Dave Chappelle will absolutely be there.

The Wall Street Journal recently profiled Kevin Hart and said Heart develops his routines orally he forms observations and anecdotes from his conversations with a bunch of his friends. They are dubbed the Plastic Cup Boys with a Z. Members of the Plastic Cup Boys are the only comedians who opened for Heart on tour. The Journal rights moments after showing Providence, Kevin Hart is reflecting, saying, that was a tight fifty nine minutes. I’m going to get it to an hour straight.

I’m going to move three to four things where I want to hear the laughter be as loud as it is in other places. I should be able to feel the laughter from the top to the bottom. Snaps his fingers and says, it’s fun. It’s fun. People look up.

It’s been an hour, but it didn’t feel like it in the act. He’s a finding now he wants to eye the backstretch of his forties and beyond, he says, including my transition as a father, my hope for family growth and gain, and the idea of old age. Heart’s been touring this under the placeholder brand new material. There’s talk of an official tour later this year, but he says instead of play arenas, he might do many residencies. Instead of sixteen thousand people a night, he’d played roughly the same number during a half dozen shows over a weekend in a more intimate theater.

That would be cool. Rolling Stone profiled Rommy. Yusef will be hearing a lot about Rommy in the upcoming weeks, with his special coming out soon, they write. As he is on stage, Usef is soft spoken, upbeaten, empathetic in person, always looking for the good and people in situations. Mark Curry invited Yusef to open for him on tour, and even though the Access of Evil and other Arab comics like Moa Mayer had been out there for a few years, Romy entered a stand up world that seemed confused by his existence.

He said, there was this thing on a baseline level of wait, do Muslims laugh? Do they condone comedy. That’s so when the gutter some of it was. He addressed nine to eleven and said, I don’t even know that I fully realized how it affected my psychology. Being eleven twelve around that period, it took me a really long time to say, oh, wait to cope.

I tried to downplay it, but affected every single thing my parents did, every decision they made. A lot changed afterward. They tried to hide some of it from us, but then you kind of start to realize, oh, you lost a lot of your friends, you lost some work opportunities, our entire social circle shrunk. He tried turning the anti Muslim sentiment to his professional advantage, auditioning early in his career for the kind of terrorist roles that have become ubiquitous over the previous decade. He didn’t get them.

They would go, oh, you’re not scary enough. If there’s one regret he has about the Hulu show, it’s that he named it and the character after himself, inspiring people to confuse him with the guy he’s playing. He was worried about how his parents would respond to the show. He refused to tell them anything about it because I wanted to give them plausible deniability. No fourth season has been ordered yet, but he says he’s talked to Hulu about the idea of taking a long break then returning to jupict Rami Hassan in a new stage of his life.

It’s definitely not over, he insists, Well, this is interesting. Johnny Knoxville new film, it’s called Sweet Dreams, out on April twelfth. In it, Bobby Lee, Moa Mahern, Theo Vaughn. The official synopsis of Sweet Dreams forced in a rehabit Sweet Dreams recovery Center, Mars played by Johnny Knoxville, struggles to confront the wreckage of his life, but when their house goes up for auction, he reluctantly agrees to coach their misfits softball team of Recovering Attic to win a cash prize and prove that everyone, despite their past, can hit a home run. Neil Young announced he’s back on Spotify or remember he quit Spotify when they did a deal with that Joe Rogan Fellow.

Yeah, well now that Rogan’s everywhere, what’s Neil Young to do? Neil said, I can’t just leave Apple on Amazon like it did Spotify because my music would have a very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all. Joe Rogan said, by the way, Neil Young came back to Spotify, Congratulations Neil, great to know you’ve got some ethics. Bill Murray commented who should play him in the SNL movie? Now?

The SNL movie takes place in nineteen seventy five, and Bill said, I’m plus this movie will really be about the original seven cast members, noting he didn’t join it until nineteen seventy seven. Bill said, I get to be on the sidelines. I think my name gets mentioned, which is good. He suggested some people. First up, he says, I like Keenan Thompson.

Now I’ll weigh in here. I’m not sure Keenan Thompson really captures the essence of Bill Murray. His next suggestion, Bill Hayter, I could see that working, although you know how old’s Bill Murray in nineteen seventy seven. Bill Murray was born in nineteen fifty. That’s nice and easy.

So he’s twenty seven. Bill Hayter is forty five, so probably not best choice to play Bill Murray. His other suggestions Kristin Wig, I think she’s wrong for the part or Amy Poehler. Yeah, Amy Polar would nail it. Bossum.

Yusef spoke to India today, you’re home for comedy news. He said, traffic in New Delhi is Cairo multiplied by one thousand. He recalled his first visit to India, where he snuck out at three in the morning to see the sites. He wanted to see the Taj Mahal. His organizers wouldn’t let him go out because they were worried with the traffic.

He wouldn’t get back in time, so he snuck out. In twenty fourteen, Yusef snuck out of Egypt, not because of traffic, but because jokes he had made against the Egyptian government. He’s a heart surgeon turned comedian. I find him fascinating. I didn’t know he’s a heart surgeon.

Anyway of the story. I just told you. He said, I sneaked out of Egypt. You think the Taj Palace can contain me. BAFTA has announced that Phil Way, comedian that I Like a lot, will host the twentieth BAFTA Games Awards, the world’s most prestigious annual celebration of excellence and creative achievement in games.

That’s April eleventh. Comedy Central all of a sudden last Wednesday announced out of the blue. I don’t know why they didn’t promote this, but they announced that starting Wednesday, March thirteenth. I get that it’s four days ago. I explained yesterday, Wednesday, March thirteenth, at won thirty pm they would feature thirteen hilarious new comics with short and sweet sets.

Season fifteen of the digital series includes Sydney Castillo, Gus Constant, Tellis Logan, Gutzelman, Morgan, Jay Andrea, Jin pap Johnson, Ryan Levine, Khaliam McNeil, Sean Patten, Lorena Russell, Amy Silverberg, Madison Sinclair, and Derek Stroop. Those are out already. I don’t know why they didn’t pre tease it. Nate Brigatsy on his podcast, I have not heard this yet, but I saw a recap of it. He talked about Jimmy Fallon appearing at his shows was that last weekend, and said after Jimmy Fallon arrived on campus, Fallon essentially he disappeared into the crowd of college students.

He was followed by Nate’s tour manager, Travis to make sure that Fallen wasn’t completely alone. Apparently, Fallon went up at a frat party. It’s also an anecdote saying that Jimmy Fallon could not open to a door to a bus bathroom in the middle of the night. That’s your comedy needs for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it too. I’ll see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. I don’t know how to do this. My mom passed away on Thursday, and at some point the podcast test to go on. I come from show business, and the show must go on. I also find it a therapeutic to try and keep my life normal as possible during troubling times with these, So that’s why you got the generic episode yesterday that had been sitting in the can for at least six months.

But that’s what that was for. Heading forward here, it’s Friday, around one eastern. I’m going to try and record a bunch of these for the next few days, so I’m sure you’ll understand if my rhythm is a little off, if the stories aren’t as timely as usual. I just spent the morning writing a few episodes, and I can tell my writing isn’t a short as usual, and I’m moving things around. I’m okay.

I feel like Rocky mid Round, not the twelve round Rocky. I feel like I took a punch to the face and got knocked down and got up and did the motion with the gloves of hey, come get me again. So I’m going to be all right here. I know you all downloaded a comedy podcast, and you’re getting this at the first two minutes. But again, I’m sure you can understand.

So what I’m going to try and do here is barrel through and see if I can summon up my normal, vaguely bimuse delivery. And a lot of times I find doing something like that will help me actually feel better. Just by pretending everything’s okay, then I’ll start to feel okay. So let me switch my delivery and just jump in the pool. Now you didn’t hear there was me staring at the screen for forty five seconds trying to find my fastball.

All right, let’s do this. Did you see TikTok might get banned of the United States? Seth Meyer said, Hey, if you guys are worried about the Chinese gathering information about Americans, wait to hear who makes the phone. It’s a good joke. Fallin.

Then Alexa was like, yeah, TikTok, that’s the one that’s spying on you. Bannett Desi Leideg hosted the Daily Show for most of the week. She was reacting to new teenagers calling their congressperson and said that’s how you know this issue is important, and forced gen Z to make their very first phone call, and you know, congressmen must have been ticked with teenagers blowing up their phones all day. I mean, well, Matt Gates didn’t mind ouch. Jimmy Carr will have a new special.

I’m excited. He is one of my favorites. Natural Born Killer premieres on Netflix April sixteenth. There is a clip in which Jimmy Carr offers his take on how to apologize for jokes. I didn’t pull that.

Let me see if I can find it. Well, here it is. You can’t go round apologizing for jokes. They’re jokes. So I’ve got a plan.

The next time I get canceled over a joke, the next time upset people with a joke, I’m gonna come out on the day of the cancelation. I’m gonna make a statement, a public statement. I’m gonna say I’ve rehearsed this, I’m gonna say I’m sorry, and the people that I’ve offended will say, you don’t really mean that apology, and I’ll say, so, you’re saying I could say something and not mean it. Now you gain it. Not bad.

But that’s Jimmy at about fifteen percent of what he can do. I am a big fan of his. I’m looking forward to that one Natural Born Killer Jimmy Corus fourth special for Netflix. The others are called his Dark Material, the best of Ultimate Gold, Greatest Hits, and Funny Business. Greg Gutfeld is going on tour.

I know, aren’t you excited me too? It’s the Gutfeld Live twenty twenty four tour, five dates including Las Vegas, The Other City’s, Durham of Fort Lauderdale, and Red Bank, New Jersey. Maybe I’ll have to pop on by. Special packages in some of the shows include premium seating and access to a pre show sound check. Really, I mean, if it were I don’t know, Pearl GM and you could go to the sound check.

That’s cool, Greg Gutfeld sound check going testing one two check check? Can you hear me? Has it sound good? Hey? You see President Biden did something dumb?

Yuck? Yuck? I mean, what is a comedy soundcheck? I’ll tell you I’ve been at a comedy soundcheck. I just did it for you.

Don’t spend money on that Fox News personality. Tom Shalou is built as a special guest at each of Guttfeld’s Summer twenty twenty four tour dates can’t Wait. ABC’s executive vice Presidents of Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment, Rob Mills. Here’s a title. He was singing Jimmy Kimmel’s praises.

He spoke to Variety and said he planned to beg Jimmy Kimmel to host the Oscars again next year and said if he wants to sign a lifetime contract, I would love that. Jimmy’s got this down, He’s got the playbook perfected. I think Jimmy is the right choice for that show. Now, did Mulaney crush Yes, But Blaney could host the Emmys. I want to see Joe Cooy get another shot at the Golden Globes.

You know, Joe Cooy. He said this really horrible, terrible joke about Taylor Swift. Dare I play it? I don’t want to offend Taylor, but here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer cameras shots of Taylor Swift.

So that’s my vote.

All right, Let’s have Mulaney do the Emmys, Kimmel does the Oscars.

Joe Cooyd as the Golden globes. Leave it alone. It’s all working missus. Jimmy Kimmel. Molly mckenary, who produced this year’s said I’d obviously be honored to do it, but I don’t know.

I feel like we’ve done a great job. We had four good ones, and maybe let someone else try it now. Hmm. He’ll do it also, he’ll extend his late night show. What else are you going to do all day?

Stephen Colbert is setting up a political fundraiser, described by some as being the most lucrative political fundraiser ever. Your guests at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall later this month will be Stephen Colbert, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. The security will be around the block and then some for that one. Tickets range from two hundred and fifty dollars, which is less than Sting is charging. I want to Sting.

I love the police, Stings going out with a trio. I was a little late hitting ticketmaster for reasons, I explained at the top of the show, and by the time I got it, tickets were two hundred and eighty nine dollars and I’m like Sting lovey but not paying that anyway, Biden, Obama, Kober or Clinton two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand dollars apiece.

---

Now for five hundred thousand dollars, I want access to the sound check.

Those contributing one hundred grand or more will have the opportunity to have their photo taken together with the three presidents. This is March twenty eighth at Radio City Music Hall. See if there are tickets on sale and stub Hub at being get in for fifteen dollars. You never know. Bill Maher will be on for at least two more seasons.

Here’s another one of those titles. HBO Programming, Late Night and Special chief Nina Rosenstein said for twenty two seasons. Accounting Bill Maher remains a uniquely powerful voice in politics and culture. Real time is the rare place where people can both disagree and find common ground, which is more vital than ever. We’re thrilled to continue working with Bill and his incredibly talented team for two more seasons.

Bill Maher said, two more years in the dream job of a lifetime on the network so many dream of being on. I think that’s what we call a no brainer. John Oliver has also been extended three seasons. He’ll be on through at least twenty twenty six. Saturday Night Live has announced two more guest hosts April sixth, Kristin Wig, April thirteenth, Ryan Gosling.

There’s a great new website called Late Nighter that covers late night and they say, as of Wednesday morning, Scarlett Johansson’s impression of Alabama Senator what’s her name? That woman, Hey, I’m running at half speed here today. Got me some slack, you know the senator she made fun of that that had been viewed five point four million times on YouTube. That makes it one of only four clips to break the five million views mark. The other is Protective Mom two.

Jimmy Fallon has confirmed that he’ll be one of the hosts of NBC’s coverage of the Paris Olympics closing ceremony on August eleventh. And a little Inside Baseball.

She said, I’m thankful to my friends and family for loving me through this. I’m so thankful to John m’lany for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect, for being there before I went into each surgery, and being there when I woke up, always placing frame photos of our little boy, Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes. M’lani tagged the comment and said, thank you for fighting so hard to be here for us, malcol and I adore you heart emoji now. Originally this was in Friday Script but there was no Friday episode for reasons already explained. But Joe Coy played Kansas City Thursday night, so this would have made more sense then.

The Shark Deck, Johnny Mack with Your Daily Comedy News. Thom Segura spoke with a Rolling Stone and they were like, hey, one of your first jobs was logging transcripts for reality shows. How bad was that? So Goura said, horrible. It’s such a mind numbing thing to do, and you would see would break people.

The logging of reality show is such an important part of the show because those moments and conversations are a lot of times very manufactured. No way you have to log everything that is said, so they could do Franken bites where they cut lines together and make them appear to be one sentence. Wow. I worked on My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss and Trading Spouses, and there was this thing that when Viral called God Warrior, and I remember hearing that from one of the edit bays, it exploded. It was very hard to stomach logging reality shows.

I really hated doing it. Golf dot Com spoke to George Lopez and asked him to complete the sentence and a headshead match between George Lopez and his good friend Lee Trevino. George Lopez would Lopez’s answer was remove the clubs from Lee’s golf bag and appropriate them as my own. To the loser, go the spoils, right. I take Louis Trevino’s stuff all the time.

He has a wood that says super mechs on it, and he saw me looking at it like it was a new car, and he said, I’ll get you one, baby, all right. George Lopez, what’s your go to golf joke? And he said, an old guy’s on the thirteen tea And on a nearby street, a funeral procession is going by, black limousine line of cars flowers the old thing, and the golfer takes off his hat and puts it over his heart, and the guys in his group are like, wow, that’s really respectful, and he goes, hey. We were married for fifty five years. Jay Farrell was asked to name his top comics.

He said Easy number one, Eddie Murphy number two, Robin Harris, number three, Bernie Meck four, Chris Rock, five, Dave Chappelle, A bad Ball of Them, Richard Pryor, The Rob Report. And spoke to Gabriel Iglesias about his Volkswagon collection. Gabe said, my first bus was a nineteen sixty eight Bay Window. I was seventeen years old and was my first car. You’re always attached to the memories of your first car, whatever it is.

That’s where it started. My brother was the one that got me into it. The engine was so simple. I remember my brother always saying, it’s just four bolts. It’s just four bolts.

I could take that out with a skateboard and a pair of plyers. His first time behind the wheel was terrifying. It was a nineteen sixty eight Volkswagon. The amount of play in the wheel, I tell people, was like sailing a boat. As for the buses, I started this collection ten years ago when I got the building and had the space for it.

I’d gotten my girlfriend at the time, her first car through Jay Leno’s guys. He’s got an incredible team over there. I then asked them if they could help me. Now, granted, I wish I could actually track down the car I had when I was seventeen, but they got me something to look just like it. They said, if you want anything else, let us know, and I said, if you guys come across anything else, cool, let me know.

We played that game for many years until this building was filled up. The collection grew so fast I did the bulk of the damage in the first five years. What’s his Holy Grail bus. I’d like to get my hands on a nineteen fifty Volkswagon bus, which is the first year they came out. There are a few people that have some, but I’m not willing to pay what they want.

I do have some cars and the works that aren’t necessarily buses. I have a Carmengia being worked on right now, a thing, a fastback, and a bug. There are about ten cars that are currently being restored. As for the collection, I don’t get to dry them all as much as i’d like to. I’m always working.

I’m on the road forty six weeks of the year. So what I do? You get to take them out? It’s pretty cool. Some fun facts from sports Kidia the headline she and Gillis’s high school and college football career.

All right, fun facts, You’re ready. Gillis played offensive tackle for Trinity High School in camp Hill, Pennsylvania. He got scholarship offers from institutions that wanted him to join their football programs. As the sports Kidia. Initially, he enrolled in the US Military Academy, but didn’t complete his first year before quitting.

His next stop was at Elon University, where he played college football, but not for long. Then he went to Westchester University, where he eventually graduated. Then he moved to Spain, where he taught English started performing comedy in twenty twelve. Nimesh Pateel told High Times, my first writing job was with the Oscars and Chris Rock, being in that writer’s room with about twenty people, and I was relatively new in comedy. He was intimidating, but I learned from that experience that there was no need to be timid.

You’re in the room for a reason, so to throw a bunch of stuff out and see what happens. I had a similar approach when I was at SNL as for how it impacted my writing on stage, that it’s a numbers game. Just keep throwing stuff out there, and even if I bombed in front of Chris Rock and other funny people, bombing in front of non comedians shouldn’t bother me as much. It’s about being comfortable with throwing things out there and experimenting. Working with Chris Rock, I remember we were working on a joke about acting being brave, and that was during the Oscars when there were no black nominees.

I pitched a joke about acting not being brave and instead said, drinking a glass of water in Flint, Michigan is brave. Considering the water crisis. Chris tweaked it to say drinking a glass of kool aid in Flint, Michigan, and it hit even harder. Came up to me afterward and emphasized the importance of speciicivity. The lesson stuck with me, and I tried to apply it to my writing whenever possible.

The more specific you can be with a reference that people still get, the better it’s going to be. That’s a great note. I don’t know if you know this. Chris Rock pretty good at comedy, Jeff fox Worthy said for my whole career because I’m not mean spirited. I just wrote with the idea of making people laugh because I always do Why do women do this and men do that?

When I started getting email from people, well I’m a woman and I don’t do that, and I’m man, I don’t do that, I was like, all right, I’ll change it to I do this and my wife does that. And it just got kind of the point where I was like, what are you doing when a comic has to edit yourself all the time. A comic supposed to be a truth tailer. We’re supposed to look at things we do in society and kind of hold it up to people and go, why do we say this or why do we do that? Just kind of reach a point where I’m not out to hurt anybody’s feelings, but I don’t care.

I’m just gonna try and be funny and not worry about it. Comedian John Ozele dresses his characters for his driver’s license. Recently, when he went to update his license, he decided that instead of combing his hair and wearing a nice shirt, he’d show up at the DMV dressed as an eighties punk rocker, something he is not. He said, my family has a tradition of being officially documented by the government as characters because the government doesn’t know we’re not those people. My dad started this tradition of the seventies.

He showed his brother his most recent ID picture, which shows a man with a bushy beard, long unkempt hair, and wild eyes that is not his normal look. JOHNA is unrecognizable and nearly every photo have been taking on a new looking persona in each one. In one, he has a chin strap in cornrows and has ranged his face in a menacing glare, and another he has spiked hair and a fum man chew mustache, and third he wears a mullet and a tank top.

Caloroga Shark Media. Rommy, you seff, I see what you’re doing. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Oscars the other night, Ron who was asked about Taylor Swift attending one of his stand up shows and what it was like if he got to meet her, and he said, I did. I got to hang out with Taylor a few times.

She’s incredibly kind, really funny. Easily could hang in comedy, you think, because I don’t agree? Do you need proof? Rommy here, listen to this joke. Big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL.

On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Taylor made a stoneface to that Taylor could not easily hang in comedy at all. The interviewers were surprised that Rommy thought that Taylor could hang in comedy, and he answered why timing. Music’s timing, and she’s just got that kind of timing. She’s got time to seemingly murder Joe Coyn’s career.

Tell you that much. Conan O’Brien’s TV show is actually going a premiere I know we’ve been talking about this for I think it’s eleven years. Conan’s been working on a show for Max Max HBO Max Max Thursday, April eighteenth, Conan O’Brien Must Go Well finally premiere last spring. Conan said, my friends around the globe never asked me to visit them, so I did. In Conan O’Brien Must Go, Conan O’Brien travels far and wide, setting himself down in Norway, Thailand, Argentina in Ireland to meet some of the people he had previously interviewed for his podcast.

He shared some footage showing him skiwering stale food in the kitchen of a Norwegian rapper, kissing a python at a market in Thailand, and presenting to a young woman in Argentina a Larry David lookalike. She has a crush on the actual Larry David. Will there be more episodes, he says, we have a backlog of fans we want to get to. We made these four, then we’ll see. I’ll translate.

HBO Max has no money, You’re not getting any more episodes of this. Conin Codin said, there are some hilarious people around the world that I’ve talked to I have a sense our country may sometimes be seen as not caring about the rest of the world. Sometimes we could be like, we just want to take care of America. Sometimes I like going where my status is low. People are free to make fun of me.

I can feel silly. I like to go other countries and be a little bit aware, a little bit uncomfortable with my surrounding, seeing what I can do and if I can make people laugh. He calls this comic diplomacy. Do you attend Duke University, Well, then you’re going to like the commencement speaker at the class of twenty twenty four. It will be Jerry Seinfeld.

Jerry and his wife currently serve as national chairs of Duke’s Parents Committee. Oh, Johnny mac knows how this works. Let me guess yep. They are parents to a current Duke student and a Duke alumna. Jerry’s children.

Always funny how that works out. Jerry will receive an honorary Doctor of Arts degree during the ceremony. Congratulations doctor Seinfeld. Start there on that title around. It worked out really well for Bill Cosby.

Mark Marion placed second at the nineteen eighty eight WBCN Comedy Riot in Boston. He recently told WGBH. When I came in second issue McGuinness and the Riot, that’s when I started working. So I spent a lot of four bit of traumatic time there, doing one nighters all over the New England area. You remember doing a nine hour drive to a gig in Maine where he opened for an X rated hypnotist.

What would that even be? Maren said, it was so developmental for me performing for every type of New England audience. Coming back to this part of the world always seems familiar, a little bit like returning to where the trauma happened. But I still love it. Alex Edelman will have a special on HBO Max Max HBO Max.

It is called just for Us and described as brisk, smart and belly laugh funny. No date yet other than April. Alex Edelman gave a quotage which was, you know, when I was in high school, I saw John Updike give a talk and he said, if you’re lucky, the work that you write might at some point find itself in conversation with the times in which you live, and well, call me mister lucky. There is a trailer I will share it with you. I have made several edits here for pacing.

My name is Alex Edlan. I’m a comedian and I’m gonna tell you a story. It’s a Tuesday night and I see this tweet and I sent it to my best friend in the world, and I wrote, David, do you want to come with me to this meeting of Nazis and queens? People are just pulling up chairs here. It’s like a semi circle, or like an anti semicircle.

So yes, as you heard in Just for Us, Edelman decides to go to a meeting of white nationalists and comes face to face with the people behind the keyboards. The Guardian wrote, Grod Carmichael is a superb stand up if only did stop checking his phone on stage show Jeremy chromp the g There the Queen’s came out checking his phone on stage. When Sarah Silverman took the stage at Hammersmith Apollo one night in two thousand and eight, she could have been more hip or more hyped. America’s most cutting edge comic came among us forty five measly minutes later, her reputation at least among short changed London comedy goers was in tatters. I will circle back to that.

Just put that in the back of your brain for a second. The Guardian says they were reminded of this at SOHO this week when Drod Carmichael made a rare UK appearance and went down like a dead shark. At least Carmichael’s gig didn’t end like Silverman’s with a crowd and open Revie. The Moon was more of amusement that one of the world’s most revered comics should self sabotage. The trick would stand up has always been to feign spontaneity, to appear to be coming up with stuff out of the blue.

He does not pull it off here. Yes, there are flashes of comic power the riff on Kanye is the only black man white people freely criticize, but mainly it’s just Carmichael scrolling on his phone, more interested in his reputation than his audience. He doesn’t stand for much of the gig, despite the fact that sitting on the stage renders him barely visible to most of the audience. The audience’s phones were impounded before the gig. Ironic, and given how little here is worth recording one woman heckled and said they made us put our phones in little bags, they should have made you do the same with yours.

So I was curious about the Sarah Silverman thing. I found an article in The Guardian from October two thousand and eight. The headline Sarah Silverman’s UK debut was no laughing matter. Back then, they wrote, Sarah Silverman ticks a lot of boxes for me. She’s subversive, consistently inventive, politically right on and sexy.

Not normally a big fan of the taboo busting comedy that’s her stock in trade. But since her turn on The Aristocrats, where she spun a crafty tail mixing up something horrible, I don’t eve want a voice here and the American light entertainment industry. I’ve been one of Silverman’s increasingly numerous British fans. That is until she, or perhaps for promoters, did everything possible to shake as many of us off as they could. Thirty five hundred tickets add a cool fifty pounds in two thousand and eight currency.

I’ll let somebody else do the math there. That’s what kind of evening’s entertainment does that get? You began with a weight of over an hour due to a technical fault. We got into the venue at eight o’clock. Half an hour later.

The show started kind of Matt Berry and rich Fulcher came on and engaged in three minutes of forced banter with the audience. Then they introduced the proper support act, Steve Ag, who wasn’t there. It’s not AG’s faulty was sick, but who decided not to bother booking a replacement. We got a blank and you’ll miss it video message from Ag, a trailer for Silverman’s new TV series, and then the headline act herself, all forty minutes of her factor in an encore consisting of five minutes of Q and A bastially improvised after it became clear that the slow handclapping crowd weren’t gonna leave otherwise. The evening ended with Silverman telling the audience to go home at nine to twenty five pm on your TV Tonight, Girls five EVA returns for season three, this time on Netflix that had previously been on Peacock.

I watched the first episode and I liked it a lot and was going to watch more, but it wasn’t available to me on whatever cheap tier of Peacock I pay for anyway. This will be on Netflix now. I suspect this will pop now that it’s on Netflix, as shows sometimes do when it goes to that platform. Some new albums to tell you about. Kaitlyn Pulufo’s new album, Dirty Bird, is available wherever comedy is streamed and sold.

On Dirty Bird, Kaitlyn Plufo addresses the struggles of growing up softball skinny, the benefits of dating are young and short, fiance, and the complexities of creepy feminism. Track six is called We Demand Kirth. Track thirteen has two words of the title, the second word raccoon. The first word rhymes with fizz. Wow.

I don’t want to make it look like a were a prude here. I’m not at all. I just try to keep the company clean. Heer and fizz raccoon but not quite makes me laugh. Richard Servante has a new album coming out, also on Blonde Medicines label, April twelfth.

This one’s called They’re Gonna Know, an exploration of this modern world we live in where trolls no longer live in caves but abound in in cell forms in the cloud. The Internet is out of hand, and Richard is not afraid to say it. In fact, Richard isn’t sure if he’s had a real life interaction in years, and it shows in this weirdly detached but somehow relatable style. The album also tells the story of I hope this isn’t true, Richard buying three hundred bitcoins when they were a dollar and spending them on magic mushrooms that would turn out to be a about seven million dollar trip. I hope that’s a joke.

There’s also a story about a girl on a dating app who refused to go three miles to see him at a bar, despite her profile saying that she loves to travel. That sounds very funny. The bio Richard Savarte is like John Wick if his dog never died, So pretty chill. Let’s see if he has any funny attract titles Drack seven, Jetgy Robots, Track eleven, Shut Up Linel Richie. You want to own Richard Pryor’s old house.

This is the one where he set himself on fire in nineteen eighty. It’s on the market. It’s known as Hacienda de la Suenos. It’s a gated wallt property currently owned by a former NFL player Richard Mendenhall. He has set the price at four point two three six million dollars, and that’s not a random number.

It’s an homage to his total rushing yards he had his career of forty two to thirty six. Bought the house in twenty seventeen for two and a half million. Men in Hall told Mansion Global your own for comedy, and he was I’m a fan of Richard Pryor. He’s iconic and I feel a special connection him because we’re both from Illinois. I’m from Skochie and he’s from Peoria.

He’s a man of such magnitude that when I saw the property, I thought what was good enough for him is good enough for me. Prior bought the house in the mid seventies. He sold it in eighty nine for nine hundred and forty thousand dollars. And The Toronto Guardian caught up with comedian Angelica Skanora. How would she describe her comedy style?

Said brashing in your face, lots of wild act outs and unique observations about mostly reliable things. Influence is Adrian apple Lucci because of her razor sharp joke writing and risk taking Kat Williams for his stage presence, and Ali Wong for being fierce, doing it all and making her own rules. That’s a great list for favorite comedian growing up. I started listening to Dane Cook in high school when he pull up on MySpace. I was drawn to him because he did such act outs, and that piqued my interest because I love physical comedy.

I remember lip syncing his albums in my bedroom and pretending I was on tour, which looking back, was very foreshadowing behavior. Favorite comedian right now Jessica Curson favorite pre show ritual. She says, I do bizarre at theater school warm up exercises, barking like a dog on all fours, tongue twisters, and jumping jacks to physically release the nerves, just to name a few. And that is your comedy news for today. If you like what I do here, buy me a coffee.

You can go to mind me coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I will take your money. I will go to the National Donuts chain and I will grab myself a large iced coffee with caramel and milk. You’ll find me there every morning in around seven fifty teen, give or take see you tomorrow,

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello. I’m Kate Middleton with today’s Daily Comedy News Weird One Today the stories that are all over the place, Let’s start with this one. Amy Schumer kept her uterus. Did I wake you up yet?

Yeah? Ammy Schumer kept her uterus as a souvenir after having it surgically removed. She was on the SmartLess podcast and sold the Gang. Jason asked me one time, like very rudely, because I actually had my uterus removed, and he was like, did you save it? And I was like, actually did save it?

I had it bronze, you know, because of how difficult my pregnancy was. I didn’t even think of this, but I get the chance to show this to you. Thank you Amy for sharing.

Let’s start with John Cena and has pointed out by ITR Wrestling dot Com, you’re home for comedy news. Some people think, perhaps, possibly maybe John Cena appearing naked on the oscars was some sort of hazing ritual.

You may recall Kat Williams in recent interviews kind of hinted that people wearing dresses is a hazing ritual in Hollywood, and some people think John Cena being naked is part of the all right, you want to be in the Hollywood club, We’re gonna humiliate you. I think it was the fiftieth anniversary of the original Streaker, and John Cena’s got a really cut body and he likes doing outrageous humor, and he went, sure, I’ll do it. I didn’t like the bit at all, but I don’t think this is a conspiracy here, and I like conspiracies. Shannon Sharp, host of Club Shay Sheha, was speaking with Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson, the former NFL player, and he revealed he made more money on the Cat Williams interview than he made in any year he played in the NFL. Think about that, Shannon said.

Everybody was talking about how much money I made doing the Cat Williams interview. I just got the check. So if you think I made five hundred thousand three exit, if you think I made a million three exit, if you think I made two million, three exit, I made more money on Cat Williams alone than I made in any year that I played in the NFL. So I was curious, and I’m on sport track dot com. In two thousand, Shannon made five million dollars according to this website.

Hey Kat, you want to come on my podcast? You coward? I bet you’re afraid to come on here. You don’t dare come on my podcast, Kat Williams. You wis Also, Joe Rogan has yet to accept my challenge to fight in the octagon.

Joe or you a woosey as well? I will fight Joe Rogan and Kat Williams two on one. Are you guys cowards? Bring it? I had missed this.

On Monday night, Justin Timberlake opened up Jimmy Kimmel’s show, saying he was guest host Kim Will then emerged and started listing off his favorite moments from the Academy Awards. Kim Will started talking about the John Cena bit and said, getting this on the air, of all the times I’ve hosted the Oscars, of the Emmys or anything, no comedy bit has ever received more scrutiny than this. There were meetings and site meetings, emails and texts and phone calls and people sweating. Somebody was crying. Then once they realized we weren’t going to take no for an answer, there was an intense discussion about the envelope.

Then Kimmell showed the envelope that the suits wanted Seena to use, which was the size of a shoebox. Ultimately they went with a smaller envelope. Kimill said, I’d say congratulations John, scene of the commotion you caused. Very rarely does an idea literally push the envelope, and this one did. He also discussed the Donald Trump moment towards the end of the show, played that the other day for you.

Kim Will said, it kind of tells you all you need to know about Donald Trump. He wrote this because he was upset. I didn’t mention him on the show. No one mentioned him on the show. He wasn’t getting any attention.

He couldn’t stand it, and so then the adderall mcflurry kicked in and he went right on. I wasn’t planning to mention him at all. We were backstage, the show was almost over, and one of the other I just was like, hey, look at this, and a quote Alpacino. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. I had to read it.

Jerry Seinfeld spoke with Empire magazine about the upcoming movie Pop Tarts. Jerry said, do you remember the scene and the right stuff where Jeff Goldbloom and Harry Shearer are running down the hall and they burst into the dark and boardroom and they go it’s called Sputnick. That’s what this movie is. We steal from everyone we could think of because we love movies. The other big influence mad Men, Jerry said, I’m obsessed with that show.

That mixed with the dumbness of the serial world, you know, stuffy executives discussing tarts and flakes and frosting, just struck me as a fun world to be in. I always wanted to be an adult. When I was a kid, I wanted to look like adults looked in the sixties. But by the time I got to be an adult and they didn’t look like that anymore. So this was a chance to go back and do that look.

Bow and Yang was on with Seth Myers. They discussed the Great Sketch where Bowen made out with Sidney Sweeney. Yang told Seth, I got to tell you guys something, you know, like when you have a head injury and you can’t see colors quite right. I feel like I got hit in the head by these two women, and I’m still straight. The other woman is Gina Gersha, who appears in the sketch.

Bowen said, I think I understand why Austin Butler talked like Elvis for a while after the movie, so I think for a couple more weeks, I’m still straight. Ladies, get in there. Cheech and Chong surprise appearance at Sea Boys, Heart and Soul. This happened during South By Variety tells us Sea Boys Art and Soul is an off the Beaten Path Austin nightclub, and they hosted a brief reunion by Cheech and Chong. An audience member yelled out, holy s.

Chong picked up an acoustic guitar. Cheech cringed as it became clear the instrument was out of tune. Chong, who’s now eighty five, wore a varsity sports jacket bedicked with marijuana leaf motifs and a Team four twenty on the back. He swapped out the bad guitar for an electric that was ready. Cheach joke, Oh he’s going electric.

Chong hit some more notes. Cheech introduced what he described as a song of my people. The lyrics as recapped by Variety. I won’t attempt to sing them. I barely want to even do them with some sort of pattern.

But Mexican Americans. Every time I pause, here is where there’s a new line. So the lyrics are. Mexican Americans don’t like to just get in the gang fights. They like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie.

Two. Mexican Americans love education, and so they go to night school and take Spanish and get a b Mexican Americans don’t like to get up early, but they have to, so they do it real slow. Chong then picked up the song, says Variety, using a derogatory term for Mexicans that underscored the hollowness of racial and ethnic bigotry. Last night, they were going to have the world premiere of Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie, which traces the pair’s career in partnership that began in the nineteen seventies. Mosha Kasher has a new book.

This the follow up to Casher in the Rye Love It. This one called Subculture Vulture, a memoir in six scenes. He spoke to W P R And said he once thought his stand up career was the peak of a narcissist art form. Then he joked, then I found memoir that’s even more delvin to what I’ve been thinking about. Over the course of three hundred pages, the new book is focused on six subcultures that he says forged him.

The six are alcoholics, anonymous, Hasidic, Judaism, deafness and sign language is the child of deaf parents, stand up comedy, raves and burning Man was almost like a drug chase of trying to find outsiders that were like me that would make me feel a little bit less different on the world. So I think that’s some of the connective tissues. Something happened when I joined these worlds. They made me fall in love so hard I wanted to own them. I didn’t want to be a member of the rebellion.

I wanted to be a Jedi Knight. From baller alert dot com, which normally would be a home for comedy news, but I’ve used that jokerlready. Mike Apps has made a shocking revelation about his long awaited Richard Pryor biopic Buckle your Pants for this one. He was on the All the Smoke podcast. According to Abs, it was Richard Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, who put a stop to the biopick back in twenty fourteen.

When all right, I’ll quote him here, I was gonna play Richard Pryor man and then his wife. I didn’t screw his wife, his ex wife. She got mad, I’ve said when he refused her advances. Jennifer allegedly told the actor, you are not gonna play Richard. You didn’t spank this cleaning it up, booty.

I’m not sure that’s a true anecdote. Lawyers will have to ask Mike Apps. The Detroit News got up with Bill Burr, who’s playing a big arenas Burr said, they’re pretty nerve wracking because you’ve got to sell a bunch of tickets. But the shows are always great, and I’m always amazed how they figured out the sound at these bigger venues where you can take the audience on the same sort of ride you can at a comedy club, where you can bring them down and you can get them going up. I’ve been doing these arenas for a couple of years and I’m used to it, but I’m not gonna lie to you.

You definitely have imposter syndrome when you first get in there, like why these people come to see me? So the fact that people are showing up, you know, is amazing and I don’t take the responsibility of that lightly. You can’t be doing shows and just be on cruise control. You got to make sure everybody gets their money’s worth. So that’s my big thing every night, which is funny because people say, make sure you’re taking it in.

This is stand up comedy. You can’t take it in. And if I start sitting back looking at the joke, my timing is off and I immediately start bombing. I can reflect on it afterwards. Does that count.

Kyle Mooney has got a new movie Why two K. This premiered at South By. Y two K follows two high schoolers who crash in New Year’s Eve party on the last night of nineteen ninety nine when they realize the projected computer apocalypse is actually happening. Mooney had the idea for Y two K a few years back. He said on New Year’s Day twenty nineteen, after night of celebrating with Evan and her friends, I texted Evan there should be a movie about two kids going to a party in Hysuk and it goes bad.

Evan Winter said, I woke up very hung over to this text. Mooney said, congratulations. One of the scenes takes place in a porta potty. We are told the stuff that you might think of stuff is not stuff. It’s hot chocolate mixed with glycerd and it smelled amazing.

It’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the show, you can buy me a coffee. You go to buy me a coffee dot com I’ll slash Daily Comedy News. You can become a member and have a recurring payment. You can join the two dollars club.

Some people do that, so it’s just two dollars a month. Winds up being twenty four bucks a year. You won’t even miss it. If a million people do that, I’ll get twenty four million dollars a year. Not too bad.

It’s not Shanna Sharp money, but you know it’s not bad anyway. With your five bucks, I’ll go to the National Donut chain. I’ll take out my app and I’ll be like uring large nice coffee caramel milk. I’ll order it. I’ll check to make sure it’s actually at the donuts chain in my town and not the one across town that’s happened a couple of mornings, and then I’ll walk in.

I won’t talk to anybody at all, and I’ll just walk in and grab the cup and get back in the car and come home. It’s an exciting life. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media, hindly. Oh, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. The oscar still kind of dominating. Jimmy Kimmel brought snacks, says The Hollywood Reporter. He brought snack boxes that include Shabby Pretzel and Mustard, Mike and Ikes water and a note from Kimmel that said to keep the karma flowing, they’d be providing a donation to Saint Joseph’s Center.

This is the second time that Kimmel has brought that brand of pretzels. He’s currently a big fan. Daniel Feinberg, my favorite entertainment critic and The Hollywood Reporter, wrote, Kimmel is a guy you can trust to do a monologue, and then he’ll hold together the disparate components and fill dead air and generally keep the mood light. He’s a juggler and no matter what Razzie Winner Trump might say, a good award show host. I agree again.

I didn’t think Jimmy had his best fastball on Sunday Night, but I do think he’s a good host. Feinberg seems to agree and wrote that doesn’t mean that Jimmy was always in top form. If I had it title the opening monologue, it would be embracing the hackiness. You had jokes about de Niro’s age and the length of Killers of the Flower Moon. Sorry Jimmy, but if it was bad enough for Joe Coy, you probably needed to go a different way.

Again, I think Jimmy’s monologue was the redemption tour for Joe Coy. Suddenly this isn’t so easy, everybody. I wish Taylor Swift had been there to ice Jimmy Kimmel. Imagine if he said something mean like this, A big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer caliber shots of Taylor Swift.

Who Taylor would have murdered Jimmy Kimmel Finberg growth there was a riff on Robert Downey Junior’s troubled pass that seemed to go on forever, as if Kimmell were trying to say, look, after tonight, he’s going to be Oscar winner, Robert Downey Junior, So we need to get this out of our system, except most people already had. Sometimes Kimmel had a sharper blade, like when he referred to the summer of solidarity among the industry unions, before adding, well, not the directors. You guys folded immediately. That was a solid joke if you didn’t watch. Al Pacino presented the best picture and apparently he doesn’t know how to do it.

As never seen an oscar show. Pacino failed to read the nominees out loud. Pacino just opened the envelope and told the audience quote, and my eyes see Oppenheimer. Backstage, Kelly rip and Mark kN Swellos were doing their thing, and Rippa said, how about al Pacino? Cutting like twelve minutes, twenty minutes, twenty five minutes.

Kinswello said we were back here going like no. Kimble joked, I guess Al’s never watched an award show before. It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go down to the and the oscar goes to But no. And that came after Kim Will had already killed Time played that clip yesterday where Kim Will got in a cut punch to Trump. Kim Will told the story saying, they go, you got a little bit of time, and I go, I’m reading that Trump tweet and they were like, no, no, No, don’t read that.

I’m like, yes, I am. Apparently am a Stone didn’t appreciate Kimmel’s joke that poor Things is only about sex. She was seeing mouthing hmm, naughty word that starts with p R and rhymes with lick. He didn’t really clean that up, John, I know. Thank you hather sending that over.

Good joke by tweeter Rob Dan Bleiker, who wrote is Oppenheimer’s Lash Godzilla minus one the first time a movie and it’s sequel Both one oscars in the same year. Good observation there.

In other news, Spinal Tap coming back.

This is sequel Tap That’s a Bad Name is now in production. They’re filming in New Orleans. Rob Render directs, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer all back. Reiner will also return as the documentarian. Marty de Berge, Questlove and Tricia Yearwood have now joined the cast already announced Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Garth Brooks.

In a statement, Reiner said, I recently spoke to Marty de Bergey, who said he was more than happy to take a sabbatical from his position as a visiting Professor’s assistant at the Edwoods School of Cinematic Arts to once again document Spinal Tap to ensure their plays in the pantheon of rock and roll. The plotz He’s our favorite band, reuniting following a fifteen year hiatus for one final concert. I hope this is good. My spidey sense is saying that this is going to be a mess, but I really really hope I’m wrong. Christina, He shared a video on social media telling us where my Mom’s at.

Her podcast will be going on a short hiatus so the main mommy can focus on being a mommy. We’ve got lots of exciting new content to share with you here at Studio Jeans. There’ll be a few WMMA episodes released, so keep an eye out. Hmm. That to me sounds like candidly and speculating this podcast isn’t making money, it’s not worth my time.

So I went to look at the charts as a website called Chartable, and that podcast Where my Mom’s At right now out of the comedy charts. So I suspect and I might get in a lot of trouble for this. It might come out tomorrow that Christina is taking care of a personal issue or who knows, maybe she’s getting a Brazilian butt lift like Kate Middleton. I don’t know why she stopped doing the podcast, but I speculate this is why are we doing this. We’re not really making money on this, just to guess.

By the way, the Kate Middleton stuff is amazing. Listen to the bonus episode of Palace Intrigue we dropped on Monday. That’ll catch you up on if you missed it. They put out a f pho over the weekend of Kate and then people realize it was photoshop. So now the hole where is Kate Middleton conspiracy is full blown, lots of fun Palace Intrigue rere figure shows.

Rami Yusef is everywhere. Suddenly he’s got that special coming out on HBO Max Max, HBO Max. He will host Saturday Night Live March thirtieth with musical guest Travis Scott’s nice line up there, but he’s really you know, sometimes these comedians going to overdrive and start saying some stuff. I’ve got a story for later in the week where he’s name dropping Taylor Swift. I’m like, I get what you’re doing, romy so expect me to have lots of feisty romy quotes in the upcoming weeks.

The eight hundred Pound Gorilla has announced the first annual Worldwide Comedy Month. All Right, what’s this? It’s a month of daily curated comedy releases, events and fan engagement opportunities. At a time when we need a chance to laugh together. The eight hundred Pound Gorilla Media Co.

Some of the things coming out April second.

Rawlings told The Daily Beast how we found out that Dave Chappelle walked away from that Comedy Central fifty million dollar deal. I found out, like everybody else, through the news, the behind the scenes stuff. David Neil kept it away from us. Neil is Neil Brennan. We weren’t focused on that.

We were just so happy Charlie Murphy went from being Eddie Murphy’s brother to Charlie Murphy. I went from being Ashley Larry I’m rich biatch. We were going back into production for the show. Me and Charlie were a little upset because that meant we had to come off the road for three months and we weren’t going to make that much money. I didn’t really make too much money on the show, and I’m not saying that’s a bitch or anything.

I never bitched about the money I was making on the show because I knew the money I was making on the show was nothing compared to the money was gonna make from doing the show. I would have done that show for free. A regret when we did Chappelle’s show the Lost Episodes, we hadn’t talked to Dave or anything, and Comedy Central had an archive a video they wanted to do something with. I didn’t know Dave’s frame of mind or anything, and when me and Charlie were looking at it, we were like, this might be our last opportunity to do this, and not knowing the politics involved it, and not knowing Dave’s feelings about it, we decided to do it as closure, not trying to get a career, not saying we were trying to be the New Chappelle Show. It was almost like a funeral for that show.

But as time passed, Dave told me he felt uncomfortable about that. So I do regret it. And I said, Dave, if you would have picked up the phone and let us know where you were, all you had to do was say is I’m not infing with Comedy Central, so don’t f with them. But he didn’t say anything. It’s the last night of comedy at south By Southwest at five o’clock local time.
