Caloroga Shark Media. There’s so much going on. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’m recording Friday and Saturday back to back. I just finished the Friday episode.

I’m looking at the raw number and it’s twenty two minutes before I edit out all my stumbles, but add back in the clips and the commercials and all that, and trying to keep this thing tight. But it’s just been so busy. Nikki Glaser had a great week thanks to the roast of Tom Brady. She happened to be the guest on the Last Laugh podcast who said to Nikki, your new special Sunday You’ll Die as the darkest premise that you’ve put out there so far. Does that reflect your state of mind right now?

NICKI shared, I struggle with self esteem and depression. It’s not easy. It’s bad for me. I’m sickly going through really intense self doubt and imposter syndrome and immense depression and just defeat. And it seems to get worse the more successful I get.

And it’s something that I’m constantly trying to figure out and find a cure for because I can’t really keep going like this, things will be going good and I’ll be cofid and feel like, you know what, I don’t need more and this is enough when I’m talented and I didn’t trick anyone, and then that’s gone by the next day. Neither feeling lasts forever. I’m so glad the feeling of depression doesn’t ever last. But that’s kind of what gets me through it, knowing that it will lift at some point. But the good times don’t last ever either.

Some serious stuff here, she says, So I think somewhere in the past couple of years and he said, okay, you could start talking about the thing you were scared to talk about or ever reveal, which is, despite all your success, despite how great things are going in your life, you still think about dying a lot, and you wish to die a lot of times. Oh no, I hope she’s okay. There’s some freedom of just saying that stuff out loud. I feel like I have some control over it when I talk about it so much, and if I can laugh about it, I can own it a little bit more and control it more. And that’s a comedy podcast.

I’m me just jumping in here right now. If you were thinking about suicide, or you’re worried about a friend or a loved one. If you need emotional support, there is the nine to eight eight Life nine network just in your phone down nine eight eight. Last Laugh asked Nikki if she finds herself censoring herself on stage. She said yes and no.

I mean I don’t. I really like to hurt people’s feelings. So if I said the R word and there was someone in the audience who had suffered because of that word or felt called out or alienated by it, I’d feel really horrible. When you first start tackling a subject like that and you’re figuring out the wording still and making it palatable, that’s where you have people getting offended and worrying about getting canceled. But I know I’m not a hateful person, and I don’t like making people feel bad about themselves are sad, and so if I ever do get canceled, I think I’ll be able to forgive myself.

This sounds really good. I’m going to download this for my listening over the weekend. This is the Last Laugh podcast. NICKI how about turning forty? She says, I’m really okay about it.

I kind of do this thing where I always say I’m the next age. So I’ve been saying I’m forty all year so I could prepare for it. When it does that it’s not that big a deal. It’s going to be a struggle. But for now, I feel like forty is young.

I know it’s ahead. I’m really scared about sixty. I’m fine with forty. I had a conversation in my kitchen this morning. My daughter joked about us being forty four, and I said, forty four sounds really great right now.

Nicki says I’ve let go of wanting to look twenty at ay more. I really feel that way, but I also feel very stunted emotionally. I’m not married, i’s still rent, I don’t know a place, I don’t have kids. I don’t feel forty in many ways, but I think it’s cool. Whenever you turn the next decade, you’re the youngest of that decade.

So I’m like the oldest thirty year old right now. The New York Times earlier the week wrote a piece about Jerry Seinfeld that I just didn’t have room for. I thought it was really interesting. The Times wrote the comedian, long beloved for his a political riffs has been wrestling with what it means to be Jewish amid the Israel Hamas war. Not everyone is pleased since the attacks of October seventh.

Seinfeld seventy. That looks so weird to see a seventy next to Jerry, because in your mind, he’s always I don’t know how old he was on the show thirty years ago. It was forty. I think the character is late thirties, right, He’s forever frozen at that age in my mind. Seinfeld seventy has emerged as a strikingly public voice against anti Semitism and in support of Jews in Israel in the United States, edging warily sort of more forward facing advocacy role than he ever seemed to seek across his decades of fame.

I’ll jump in here. I’ve always felt, if you have a platform and you believe in something strongly use it. Otherwise what are we all doing here on our time on the planet? The times rights. As some American cities and college campuses simmer with conflict over the Middle East crisis in Israel’s military response, Seinfeld has faced a measure of public scorn that he’s rarely courted as a breakfast obsess comedian, intensified by the more vocal advocacy of his wife, Jessica, a cookbook author.

Missus Seinfeld attracted attention she promoted on Instagram and said she had helped bankroll a counter protest at UCLA. The shifts in Seinfeld’s public bearing after October seventh have been modest, if still perceptible. He remains far less outspoken on the subject than other celebrities and comedians such as Amy Schumer, but for figure long held up like few others in entertainment as a generational narrator of the American Jewish experience. Even a cautious exploration of his identity has been notable. Jerry told GQ, I don’t preach about it.

I have my personal feelings about it that discussed privately. It’s not part of what I can do comedically, but my feelings are very strong. You could do it comedically. That would be a major statement. If Jerry went out on tour and we somehow got aggressively political, Jerry Seinfeld, that would get noticed, my friend.

Would people get mad at you? Sure, some people will get mad at you, But we have so much time on this planet, and if you have a platform, you should use it, and you don’t need any more money. Why don’t you go all in? Jerry? And I say that, I know my voice cracked there and made it sound sarcastic.

I’m serious, Jerry, go all in. Jerry says, it’s not part of what I can do comedically, but my feelings are very strong. You could do it. Another thing I couldn’t get to this week an oracle from Bloomberg. Lucas Shaw writes a stand up comedy has tripled in size over the last decade.

Burt Kraisher, Taylor Thomason, and Chelsea Handler discussed the boom and stand up. Lucas writes, I went to see John Stewart perform in front of a packed crowd at the Greek Theater. A day later, more than seventeen thousand people crowded into the Hollywood Bowl to watch John Mulaney. Stand up comedy grosses have nearly tripled over the last decade, climbing to where than nine hundred million dollars last year, according to pollstar. Bert Kreischer grossed about thirty three million dollars on tour between October twenty two and twenty three.

Second only to Kevin Hart. Bert Kreischer recently said I have a shortlisted person I should think at my funeral, and Netflix is at the top. Robbie Pra, who runs Netflix Comedy, said stand up was very undervalued. Competitors complained that Netflix was being a rational spending more than the specials were worth. Netflix released fifty or more specials in twenty seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen.

Taylor Thomlinson had a choice between a fifteen minute set for Netflix is the Comedy Lineup and a thirty minute special for Comedy Central. She picked Netflix. Taylor says it became clear that Netflix was the best and fastest way to find your people and build up that fan base. Before that, yet of a sitcom was so hard to get and then have it be successful. Some of the biggest names touring right now, including Andrew Schultz at the Ovaughn, building an audience using YouTube or podcasts.

Bert Kreischer’s first brush with fame came when he uploaded a clip from Especially Made for Showtime on a social media The machine went viral. It was only after that Netflix he gave him a special. Vulture interviewed Robbie Pra Robbie says, something we’re seeing more and more is the cultivation of fantoms by individual artists. So that happens sometimes outside of Netflix. Your neighbor may not know who this person is, but they’re selling out the readA in your town that night.

We just had this discussion in the Facebook group. I think it was Dylan who was pointing out Andrew Schultz sold out the garden a few times. And I said, very very respectfully, walk down the street and ask one hundred people who Andrew Schultz is. You might go zero for one hundred that said he’s selling out the garden. He’s super popular.

So Robbie pra is saying the same thing here. Robbie says, I think the big change, and we’re part of this fly wheel, is how people speak directly to audiences. Oftentimes, now they’re coming to Netflix with diehard fans that are excited to get to watch their favorite person, which otherwise could be very expensive night out. We think it’s a pretty good proposition that you get to see the person on Netflix. One more Quickie article comedy podcast led by the Joe Rogan Experience game to add market share in twenty twenty three.

This one was from Variety. Podcast ad revenue in the US after seven years of double digit hit a slow down in twenty twenty three, however, comedy podcast led by Joe Rogan, gained market share overtaking sports is the biggest content genre by spending. Comedy represented seventeen percent of US podcast AD revenue, up from fourteen percent in twenty twenty two. I just bumped seven stories. That’s how busy it is this week.

So that’ll be busy next week too, so I have at least seven leftovers. Remember the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor that they gave to Kevin Hart, Well, it’s on TV. If you want to see Kevin Hart honored by Little Dickie, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea Handler, the Plastic Cup Boys, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, you might want to watch this thing. It used to air on PBS, I thinks span I don’t even remember, but now it’s on Netflix, which means it’s going to be a lot more visible. That’s today.

Let’s take a look at the festivals. I’ll do Sidney casually, as I’ve been saying. I’ll get more into that next week. Once Netflix Clears Cam James show is called Mixtape. This is a show about music, love and the summer in two thousand and nine, that I worked as a singing Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator at a suburban dinner theater restaurant.

He wants us to press play and turn the volume up loud. There appears to be a clip here. It wasn’t planning on playing a clip, but a right, if you really want me to, let’s listen. I have no idea what’s about to happen. Here’s what happened.

An error occurred. Please try again later playback id J I R HG dash TSST zero learn more. That getting worked out better for me? All right, Netflix Comedy Festival. We’re almost done here.

Saturday night should be a big night right outside joke at the Hollywood Palladium. All this outside one o’clock Adam Raised, Doctor Phil two fifteen, middle aged Dad jam Band three thirty, Mortgage A four forty five, Regie Watts five point thirty. That ninety show hosted by Kevin Smith. Seven pm. Roast Battle.

That’s the thing I told you about yesterday Judges Jeff Ross and Tony Hinchcliff eight thirty the drop In, hosted by Tim Dillon. Maybe we just hang outside the Hollywood Palladium and see that’s seven and eight thirty shows. Those are great, but then we’d miss Trevor Noah at the Hollywood Bowl at seven thirty, Brut Krasier at the Forum at eight, Chelsea Handler, Fortune Fimester, Mattel Laine, Sam Jay, Vanessa Gonzalez all on One show at seven late night at the Hollywood Palladium, Nikki Glaser at ten thirty, Brett Goldstein at seven two more. Alley Wongs added, she’s either super popular or we’re having trouble recording as special. I’ll guess she’s just super popular at this point for some reason.

The Purple Reen fortieth anniversary screening, Why is that part of the comedy festival? Tom Barry at four pm at Dynasty Typewriter, and a whole bunch of other things. As usual. As I scroll down, it gets more obscure.

All right, let’s make a day of it.

Let’s get up early. Well, let me rephrase that. Let’s go see Todd Burry at four o’clock. Hopefully you’re normally up by three thirty when I want to meet you, so we’ll go see Todd Barry at four. I don’t know, maybe just hang outside and watch the roast battle judge Jeff Ross and Tony Hinchcliff and then stick around for Tim Dillon and then uh maybe do ten thirty Nikki Glaser.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’ve been saying this all week. There’s so much going on this week, I keep bumping stuff, but this has got to be my lead today. Jerry Seinfeld apologizes for saying Howard Stern lacks comedy chops and has been outflanked by comedians with podcasts.

Let’s go slow here because I want to unpack this one. There’s a lot more to this than the headliners are writing. Jerry was on the David Spade and Dana Corvey podcast. He was discussing the popularity of podcasts with Dana and David Seinfeld, astitute comedians. Howard Stern vetted, this is right, Jerry continues, but we’re better than him.

Now, Howard’s interesting. That was a great interviewer, But comedy chops. I mean, can we speak candidly? Spade said sure, Carvey said no. They both laughed.

Carvey said, well, he’s got Robin, and Robin is a big part of how he’s funny. Yeah, they’re all great, but let’s face it, he’s been out flanked by some very in yourselves. I mean, absolutely, this show comedy podcast, this is the best one on the air, because you guys play nice together. It’s smooth. You’re not jumping on each other, which is annoying to listen to.

All Right, Jerry has cleaned this up. He told TMZ. He meant to say he must feel surrounded, but I said out flanked, which sounded terrible and insulting. Of course, no, these little shows are any threats to his giant show. Anyway, I was bad, and I’m sorry, Howie.

I still love you. Please forgive me. Ohkay. I have met Howard Stern once in my life. Howard paid me the compliment of my career.

To understand. I am fifty four years old, grew up in New York City. I was already listening to WNBC in nineteen eighty two when Howard Stern came along. I was already listen to the station. And this funny guy started doing afternoons, and he started talking a lot more between records.

On my way to high school, listening every morning, I would get up, hit record on a cassette, go take a shower, and then when I came back, I would have that cassette because when the seven train went underground, I couldn’t hear Howard’s radio show, so I’d go back to the part I missed major major Howard fan here, do you hear the butt coming? I was at Sirious when we hired Howard Stern. The day before we had Howard Stern. If I told somebody where I worked, I’d go, I work it Sirious, and then go, I don’t have Cyrus. I have XM.

Every time somebody would call it cyrus. The day we hired Howard, nobody ever said cyrus to me again. Howard made serious. Howard paid me the comblement of my career. Met him once and he found out that I was running the rowd Dog Comedy channel, and he said, the station sounds great.

That meant so much to me. That’s two thousand and six. Somewhere in the last eighteen years, Howard became everything he hated. I wish I had a time machine and I would go back to the days of Howard Stern ripping into John de Bella, the quote unquote zoo keeper from Philadelphia making fun of Deblla for being bald. I’m sure Howard’s hair is naturally as dark as it is making fun of Bella’s marital situation.

You know, Howard, You’re living in the Hamptons with your second wife and your hair’s a little too dark. You became everything you hated. At some point, Howard somehow disappeared a lot of his career, and here in this third act he wants to be remembered as the great interviewer. And Jerry even kissed the ring here. But Howard became everything he hated.

It’s hard for me to watch. I have not enjoyed the third act of Howard’s career.

Also here back in the day, because I was listening, Howard Stern used to kill…

Let me google here so I get my facts right. People magazine reported that Jerry Seinfeld met so Shanna Lonstein, then a seventeen year old and a senior at a private school back in nineteen ninety three. In a nineteen ninety three Playboy interview, Jerry said he didn’t know old she was when they met. I met this girl, so Shanna. She’s a very sweet girl and she’s very pretty.

I didn’t know old she was. I knew she wasn’t forty. Took at a basketball game and that was the whole thing. Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on The Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern asked Jerry back in the day, so you sit in Central Park and have a candy boar on a string and pull it when the girls come.

Jerry defended his action, saying, I didn’t realize she was so young. The only girl everyone else was was that young. I wasn’t dating her. We just watch your restaurant. That was it.

Jerry tells people, I’m not an idiot. Shoshanna is a person, not an age. She’s extremely right, she’s funny, shirt very alert. We just get along. You can hear the click.

So here we are in twenty twenty four. Jerry maybe accidentally takes a shot at Howard personally. I think perhaps possibly that. I imagine Jerry doesn’t want Howard to get rabbid. That’s what I think is going on.

Here. We’re seven minutes and I’m still on the first story. You may recall I was talking about Jerry Seinfeld being on with Dana Carvey and David Spade. They were talking about comedy podcaster or He said, who knows a marget? Who knew people wanted to get to know us?

Who gets the credit to figure that out? Jerry apparently criticized comedians who get personal on their podcast. It’s saying, mega’s laugh. How understand do you think you are? You know that interesting?

Okay, you know you know what? You’re funny? You were that? This is my line. You know me, you know me now?

But you know I draw that line. If you’re not that funny, We’re not that interested in you. All right, there’s a new version of the Office. I’m gonna comment on that as well. Yeah, I had my caffeine this morning in the Office.

Spin Off is the word I’m seeing, and I’m gonna comment on that. The documentary crew that immortalized dunder Miflin Scranton Branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters. Apparently Dominal Gleeson you know him from Star Wars movies. My brain’s not working, Redhead Guy in the sequels, the bad guy General Hawks is a General Hawks. Him and Sabrina and PATCHA Tory will lead the cast.

Production will begin in July. Now is this spin off? I mean? Okay, there’s a documentary crew filming people. So is Modern Family a spin off?

Then is Parks and rec Season one at least a spin off? You know? Are they gonna do something lame like when Oscar Nuniaz moved to the Midwest to volunteer at a newspaper. Are they going to do that? Don’t do that.

This thing will be on Peacock. I think that might be a strategic mistake. If this were on NBC, everyone’s gonna watch it. It’s on Peacock. I know they want to get subscriptions.

I don’t know, is like sort of the Office interesting enough to get anyone to get Peacock? Not sure. David Beckham was on Kimmel and he said he reached out to Tom Brady after the roast. David explains, I know Tom quite well, and I must admit I did fire my message just to check that he was okay. Tom Brady’s okay.

Beckham found the roast very funny. Travis Kelcey has flowed the idea of a roast of Travis Kelsey. He was talking about it on his Big Famous New Heights podcast. Travis suggested who we would want to have roast him, he said, Andrew Santino Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, and Jeff Ross. Well, sure, yeah, all great comedians, and after this week you probably want Tony Hinchcliff and Nikki Glaser too.

Why not ask for any Murphinus Prime while we’re at it. Now, what’s interesting to me Kelsey called Chappelle an all time great, called Santino one of my favorite comedians of all time, and said he would effing deliver. Now what’s interesting to me is he didn’t invite Joe Coy. Now, now hear me out here, Travis Kelcey is dating Taylor Swift. Joe Coy probably a pretty good roaster.

Maybe Travis is afraid that Joe Coy would go after Taylor Swift. Now, you’re like Johnny Mack. Joe Cooy seems like the nicest guy in the world. Why would he go after Taylor Swift? Well, you gotta be careful with Joe Koy.

Now, one time he hosted the Golden Globes. That couldn’t even do it a straight face. Oh, leave it in now. One time he hosted the Golden Globes and this was just unbelievable. He went after Taylor Swift.

Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Natasha Lazio, known for her candid and straight shooting comedic style, made her the ideal choice for period. Undermaker thinks latest ad campaign, That’s a Right, Natasha went on a twelve hour road trip through southern California. It’s a showcase leakproof protection.

She’s asked, what’s the craziest thing you ever did while on your period? Nasasha said, well, I had to take my kids at water park and I leaked into the wave pool. I just blamed it on someone else. I’m all hung up on this John Mulaney show. I so many so I feel bad even talking about it because quite obviously I record the podcast the day before you hear it, and because Mlanie Show’s on late I’m kind of like two three days behind, so as you’re listening.

The most recent episode I’ve seen is Tuesdays, which was not good. I bailed after fifteen minutes. I’ll talk about that in a second. Late Night Are writes The Chris Gathered Show walked so everybody’s in LA could run when social media user said John Mulaney recreated the Chris Gathered show, but with a higher budget from Late Nighter. The two shows do share much of the same DNA like mullaney, show Gathered featured old school viewer call centered around of chosen topics.

Other similarities the lineup of comedian guests and their embrace of absurd sidekicks. Gethard said, I’m greatly enjoying the new show Mlanie’s doing on Netflix. Kayatic and funny and interactive and unpredictable and good. I like live TV and phone calls and seeing celebrities slightly uncomfortable. I just like it.

Another Twitter user said that endorsement is like shaking Sinatra’s hand on the casino floor. So the Tuesday Night episode, I did like the weirdness that it was just for no reason, sunglasses night, and they’re all wearing sunglasses. That’s something eighties Letterman would have done. But I’m watching it and the main guest is Napergatsy and they have this helicopter pilot on and m’laney just has this really long conversation with the helicopter pilot and Nate’s sitting there doing nothing, and I’m like I’m bored, so I bailed fifteen minutes into it. Apparently during that episode, I missed this phone call.

I’ll explain it all the back end, but let’s listen. This will give you a good feel for what this show is. One of the voices you’re gonna hear in the middle here, you’ll recognize it.

---

And now I pointed out as Patton as so again you have Nate and Patton and you’…

What are you doing anyway? Let’s listen, Bob, you’re on Everybody’s in LA with nine people. What do you have to say about helicopters? Hi? There, I’m uh.

I’m just calling because I get you know, I tend to get annoyed. I live out in Malibu and they make a lot of noise. They spook my horses. They spook your what horses? They spook my horses?

I got horses. You have horses in Malibu? No offense. I thought, he said it spooked his horse like that. That threw me for a second.

That might also be happening. That could also be happening, Bob. How many horses do you have in Malibu? I might have thirteen fourteen horses. Probably not sure, Bob, you’re Sere’s precious angel.

There’s the slow train. This idiot win, I got a I got one named Joey. And what’s your last name? About? Is Bob wearing sunglasses?

Bob? What’s your full name? I was sunglasses? Bob Dylan, I’m a recording god’s for Columbia. Oh you’re letting us know you’re a recording artist for Columbia.

Bob Dylan. Malibu resident so Malany revealed during the closing credits Bob Dylan was actually James Austin Johnson from Saturday Night Live. Johnson posted a video of his end of the call to Instagram. He wrote, calling in too, everybody’s in la is Bob Dylan when I’m supposed to be writing stuff. I still continue to really like this as an idea.

Now, I’m an old man who goes to bed at ten ten thirty Monday through Thursday or Sunday through Thursday. If this thing were at eight o’clock Eastern, I’d probably watch it every night. With it being on ten. I feel like, as I explained earlier, I’m like three days behind by the time I talk to you about it, not that the show’s topical at all, But I don’t want you to be like John. It’s Friday.

Why are we talking about Tuesday night’s show? And I’m still thinking about the other night yet John Stewart and Gabriel Iglesias, and you know it’s too much. You don’t need both. Just book John Stewart in a different night, book Gabriel of Blasis. I know they’re trying to show off for the six days, but if this thing goes long term, it needs better producing.

I’m making a lot of friends today on Today’s podcast. So so far, Netflix producer is gonna be mad at me. Howard’s den is gonna be mad at me. Howard, if you want to do an hour on me, go ahead. And Jerry Seinfeld is probably gonna be mad at me as well.

I’m recording a podcast in my basement. John Mulaney is dating Olivia Munn On John Mulaney Show Tonight, Hannah Gatsby Flea and a music performance by Beck. Netflix Festival Tonight’s Roast Battle seven o’clock, a Decade of Destruction Birthday tournament with special guest judges Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser. That’s interesting. Who’s on this one National Roast Battle League’s best competitive roasters enter the outdoor stage at the Hollywood Palladium to go Mike to Mike to determine who’s the funniest.

Only one will survive the brutal disses and bloodthirsty crowd. All right, that’s pretty good. Eight thirty The drop in, hosted by Jim Jeffrey. Seven thirty Kevin Hart. Eight o’clock, Killed Sony?

Why did you put kill Tony kind at this end? Kilt? He’s at the Kia Form, which means they’re gonna show off with who shows out? All right? Sorry, Rose Battle show kill Tony at the Kia Forum.

You gotta do that show. I mean that is just gonna be amazing. Brett Goldstein at seven. Ali Wong just added again there’s either a huge demand whor we’re now five tries out of two trying to get a special taped Spidy sense is tingling. Sheng Wang nine forty five Low tickets warning.

Hannah Berner at seven Low tickets, Anthony J. Justinik nine forty five. Ryan Hamilton remember him? I love him. Seven o’clock You’re gonna lose out to kill Tony.

Sorry, Rachel Feinstein at nine forty five. This is such a great festival. Oh, I mean it’s too much. Chris Fleming at nine forty five. Now I’m getting low, as I tell you every day, as I start to scroll down, it gets less interesting.

Eight o’clock sold out, Big Jay Okerson, ten thirty sold out. Ari Shafeerz renamed Storytelling Show meaning totally not. This is not happening, This is not this is not how happening, which is owned I believe by Comedy Central. This is a different thing hosted by Ardishafir. I’d like that.

Okay, let’s pop into Sydney quickly. As previously mentioned, I’ll do a lot more Sydney next week when things calm down. This one looks fun just at it. It’s called all right Hey Show Dancing Queen. As a self proclaimed social media veteran, it’s about time all right Hey released his memoir.

The only problem is no reputable publishing agency is offered to print it. Thankfully, he’s publishing in his own way. Live on stage looks fun.

Also on Saturday or Teaste, Mister Bean meets the Mona Lisa in this high ener…

It’s at one point thirty in the afternoon. Website nothing ever happens in Brisbane calls it a celebration of creativity and playfulness for both young and old. Oh my goodness, I just check the timer again. All right, this is when I start with shaddying topics. Let’s say you can wait.

Let me tell you about this one. I’ve been trying to get to this one all week. Tracy Morgan visited a ho little recently greeted cancer patients. Tracy visited the Florina Cancer Center on Staten Island. He told the patients God is great, God as good.

God is everywhere. Tracy popped in and out of several adult and pediatric rooms in the infusion center. Were about thirty patients we’re receiving treatment. Right, you’re not expecting Tracy were gonna come by. I guess that brightened up your day.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your daily comedy whose late night had some fun with Stormy Daniels testifying the Donald Trump trial. We’re covering that over on the Ballot podcast. Stephen Colbert said it was a historic day because Stormy Daniels did what she does best, and that’s spank Donald Trump. Jordan Klepper hosting The Daily Show, come on, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash acting like you’re too good for this, Like you’ve never seen Genitalia before.

You’re very prudish for people whose names sound like porn names. Seth Myers. Stormy Daniels testified that she spanked Trump with a rolled up magazine that had his face on the cover. And I think it’s weird that the hotel even had a copy of Bankruptcy aficionado Stephen Colbert. Trump explained that he and Milania have separate bedrooms.

Yes, we’re having trouble falling asleep in the same bed because she snores and I bang porn stars. Seth Myers Stormy Daniels setting a phone call after the section. When Cannon with Trump in two thousand and six, he would always call her honey. Bunch, honey bunch, and you guys think Biden is too old. New topic of Chinese zoo had some dogs that they painted, were passing them off as pandas Colbert said, well, there’s a simple explanation.

The dogs are in a Christi Nome protection program. That is great, all right, we got some beefs going on. This first one from Atlanta Blackstar. I’ve read this a couple times and I’m trying to make sense of it. Honestly, it’s not the best written oracle I’ve ever read.

I’ve read it three times and I’m like, all right, let me get to the gist here. I will try here. The point being people accusing Kat Williams of ducking out of a party when Kevin Hart showed up. But let’s see if we could figure out the details from this article. The event was the weekend brunch at the Netflix is a Joke Festival.

By the way, that is not an easy thing to say, Netflix is a joke festival. We got to rename this thing, Robbie pro I mean I stumbled over that four times. Nathi ed at this time, apparently at the brunch, Dave Chappelle, Tiffany Hattish Kevin Hart, Marshall, Warfield, Mike Appsolute Rel Dion Cole, they took a picture. Hattish told the Breakfast Club that the brunch started around noon and that she saw Kat Williams. She said, we was outside, okay, so we wasn’t in the same room.

Everybody was there and Kat was there, and he was looking very interesting, very shiny, and it was super cool. We Apparently Kat was dressed differently than me. He’s wearing a hoodie in a baseball cap. He was talking to everybody, moving around the room and stuff. As soon as Kevin got there, nobody could find Kat.

I don’t know where Kat went, but he did perform live. She claims they took a group picture with all the comedians. Kat’s not in that photo because Kat left right as Kevin pulled up.

Meanwhile, Monique, who opened for Kat, took some shots at Oprah Winfrey.

I will have to quite paraphrase here, Monique said, F you Oprah Winfrey, F you Tyler Perry. She then questioned the nature of Winfrey’s friendship with Gail King, suggesting perhaps there’s more too there friendship, and said, I’m too mfing old to be scared of this Bee I’m too old to be intimidated by this bee. I’m too old to the mfing truth. Cat Williams did better in the ratings than the roast of Tom Brady. Kind of surprising, No, I find that very surprising.

So is this bad for Cat? Because there were super hype on Cat. You know, I was stressing, should I blow off Deacon Mike and not go to Cleveland and stay home in Kat Williams. That would have been a mistake. Deac and Meg had an awesome party and Kat Williams Special was all right.

Everybody was waiting for Kat Williams take shots, and he didn’t really take shots at anybody anyway. Cat Williams won the ratings war. Streaming ratings are a little wonky, but we have learned that Cat Williams earned four million views, a metric determined by total viewing time divided by running time. That’s double what Tom Brady got for two million. But this is where it gets walky.

The roast had more total viewing time at six point two million hours to just four point one million hours for Cat Special. But Brady’s thing is three times as long, right, so I watched for three hours, So they get credit. For three out of me, whereas I also watched cat for one, so they get one out of me. Makes sense? It barely makes sense, right, Yeah.

John Mulaney presents Everybody’s In La also made the Netflix Top ten. They did not break out the viewers on that one, so who knows, Baby Raindier remains number one. That’s really fantastic if you haven’t seen that. Jerry Seinfeld’s pop tarts movie Unfrosted topped the list with seven point one million views for its opening weekend. Kuwaiti Romcom Honeymoonish number one fourteen million views.

Really okay? Netflix has made an edit to the roast of Tom Brady. What did they take out? No, not the Robert Kraft joke. They took out the booze of Kim Kardashian.

That’s lame. We all know what happened. Leave it in. Nikki Glaser, having quite the moment, she went on The Howard Stern Show, apparently thinking it’s nineteen eighty eight, and told Howard Stern that she had cut some jokes out of the roast. One of the cut jokes, Tom, I love your work that you’ve done on your face.

Seriously, slow down, what is happening with your cheeks. You look like a ken doll that was microwaved. You love deflating things, so stop. Did I imagine that that joke happened? What that joke happened?

I’m going crazy. I just took a pause and skimmed, Nicki set and I didn’t find that joke. Somebody did that joke. I’m not crazy. Help me out in the Facebook group.

Somebody did that joke, Nicki said. She also cut a joke about CTE. The joke read, it’s really cool. All the proceeds are going to CTE research in the NFL’s coordinated effort to cover it up. She did make an NFL cover up joke.

I just played it back during the pause there. People don’t know, but it costs millions to murder those doctors that know the truth. These guys really effing damage their bodies and brains all for the sake of men hugging each other in a Buffalo wild wings. Nicki is on the Last Laugh podcast that was recorded before the roast, and she told the Last Laugh, I’m educating myself about football. I just learned about football from Taylor Swift.

Now I’m doing all this research on Tom Brady, and I’m learning to love it and learning to really respect him. So I have a great angle I fear, but it’s terrifying. I haven’t done a ros since pre COVID. I thought it was behind me. I thought, if they ever come asking again, I’m gonna say no, because the last time I did one, I was thirty four and if you called me old, it didn’t really work.

But now I’m thirty nine and this is old. They can make those jokes now or make fun of my looks, and it’s not like I’ve gotten any more secure in my looks. It’s painful to do a roast, so I’m kind of worried about that. But I’m in the state of mind now ahead of it, where I’m just focused on writing and I’m not even thinking about the jokes that could have been written about me. And that’s always rough when you sit there and hear about how ugly I am or how unfunny I am.

The last laugh said, well, you’re definitely more famous now than you were at last rose, maybe you won’t get those jokes. NICKI said, yeah, that was don’t bother me because I’m pretty aware of my level. I don’t care if people say I’m not famous. I don’t really care about being famous. I mean, yes, of course I care because it means more money, which means more security, which means I won’t die any apocalypse, which is my biggest fear.

But I don’t care. Please come at me for all that, I’d love it. She talked about limits put on it and quoting Niki here, Dude, they kind of said, don’t go after the kids, and I was like, why would I go after as kids? You really have a license say anything, because if they’re there and they sign up for it, you can go after them now. Jokes about Gazelle.

I don’t want to frame Gazelle in a poor light. I don’t ever want to frame his kids out on the days they haven’t sign up for it, But anyone else I will not pull punches, but I will say I have a lot more heart going to this one than I have in the past. I don’t want to be mean like that. It has to be really good to be mean. Jim Gaffigan, Jenny Slaate, and Tig Nazaro talked parenthood and the best and worst things about being a comedian today.

Boy, doesn’t that sound exciting? Don’t you wish you were at the Prime Experience in Los Angeles. Nice move there, Prime Experience in Los Angeles, having your own comedy event in the middle of the Netflix Festival in Los Angeles. I see what you’re doing there, Jim, you’ve clearly chosen sides. Okay, Robbie pro is gonna remember that.

Jenny Slat says, there’s much to love about working as a stand up comic today. We have the opportunity to be really thoughtful about saying something deeply important about our own personal development, about the world at large, about current events, about censorship and art, and about what the current vernacular in art is. Jenny says, cancel culture is frightening. It’s scary to be a personal with the microphone, but it’s also great privilege of your performer, and you feel that you’re talented. If you pair that talent with thoughtfulness, I think it’s a great opportunity to feel fully expressed.

Tick Natara was asked about the best and worst of being a modern day stand up and Tick said, there’s so much going on and so much opportunity. Could feel a little oversaturated, but I don’t know. I don’t have any complaints I started doing stand up solely because I’m obsessed with it, and so from open mic days to now, it’s really neat to get on stage and want to just share these stories and experiences. Amazon. I’m gonna remind you guys cross Town.

John Maliney sitting there with Jerry Seinfeld. He’s not talking to Jerry Seinfeld, but he’s sitting there with him. What is this event? Why did you do this event? This is a bad look.

Jim Gaffigan joked he started in comedy when there were wooden microphones. Yuck, yuck. Jim said he tends not to call his kids out by naming his act for the sake of their privacy, but he observed at the same time, kids would rather hear you talk about them and stand up than if you posted a picture of them. If you post a picture, that’s crossing a line, but if you make a reference to them being misanthropic, they’re like, yeah, that’s great. When asked what’s next for him, Jim Gaffigan joked, I’m gonna be Donald Trump’s running mates.

Can I tell you I have been talking about how there’s so much going on last week and this week that I could pre tape all of next week. Take a week off. I’m not kidding. The raw version of today’s podcast was twenty minutes. It gets shorter after clean up all the stumbles and stuff, but it’s twenty minutes and I hit save and I’m like, oh, you forgot to do the festivals.

And that’s after I bumped three stories. There’s just so much anyway. Festivals Tonight, Cryptocamerina seven thirty Andrew Scheldtz Sing Gillison special guests. You gotta do that right eight o’clock, Tom Sigora come together. This is reminding me.

I forgot to look up what happened at their five k. Apparently the big news at the Two Bears five k from the other day is that jelly Roll finished it. He spoke to Entertainment tonight. He said, I couldn’t walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January. So the fact that we got three point whatever it was, it’s three point one.

Jelly Roll got it down. I felt really good about it. Yeah, I understand, man. When I first started running, I couldn’t do a five k, and I’ve now run two marathons. Oh, here’s a funny picture of Grasier with his shirt off in a metal This looks pretty funny.

Oh and I digressed more as I threw Burke Kreischer into Google to see if I could find something about the five K. But I see this headline. Burt Krascher and Tom Szagre react to Gazelle bunch In being upset over the Tom Brady roast jokes. A source told Entertainment Tonight, Jazelle was upset and hurt by some of the jokes about her, her relationships with her boyfriend and her marriage to Tom. Her main concern has always her children and her family, and she wants to protect them.

She found some of the jokes to be distasteful and disrespectful. Sigura said, oh, that’s awesome. That means everyone did their chop. Krayser jokingly said he had heard from Bunchin’s camp and said, I don’t speak Portuguese. I don’t care what you say.

That’s funny. Grayscher said, to be fair, Giselle got half that check anyway. Netflix Comedy Festival. You see why these podcasts, I’m telling you, Pumping Story is left and right, all right? Cheltz and Shane at seven thirty Sigora at eight, Country Wayne at seven, Ali Wang again taping another show, this one I think was planned.

I’m wondering if they’re having trouble getting a special Shang Wang nine forty five, Love Him, Somebody Feed Phil at seven, Nick Offerman at Friends at seven, Jared Freed at seven. Dean Cook is out there. I didn’t know that. Dane Cook at seven. Jessica Curson has sold out at seven, and I’ve seen very few sold outs on this grid.

Curson again at nine forty five, Spinal tap the original fortieth anniversary screening at four. Felippia Sparzo sold that at nine forty five, Jeff Ross at seven, Josh Wolf at seven. He’s really good, but you’re up against that show at the Crypto Arena, Eric Griffin and Friends, and like the other days, as if I scroll down four enough, it gets uninteresting. All right, if you and I were there, We’re going to Crypto Arena. We’re seeing Schultz Shane and whoever shows up late show will do Shang Wang as that sound.

We are so long today, I’m not gonna hunt for clips at Sydney, but I’ll just tell you about a show that we haven’t talked about yet have we’ve done Connor Burns from Scotland. This shows called Verdigo, a punchline pack sixty minutes featuring submarines, relationships and the inevitable family drama. The Scotsman gave it five stars, saying he’s a great comedy tale. He’s fearless and wonderful, hilarious. Of the list four stars, but perhaps at four brilliant.

GAG’s coming you at a terrifying rate. She your fearlessness, he’ll go far. We’ve got plenty left in this festival. There’s just been so much gone with Netflix domining, so a lot more sitting next week? All right, Tonight on John Mullany’s Late Night Thing, the guest David Letterman, Bill Hayter, Cedric the Entertainer, and music performance by Los Lobos.

Okay, John MLINI write this down because I watched the Monday night show. You were not taking my notes. Stop taking phone calls. The phone calls are terrible. Get rid of the robot.

The robot’s not working. Here’s what you do. My first guest tonight is David Letterman.

---

And then stop talking and let David Letterman be funny.

Then when Bill Hayter comes out, go hey, Bill Hayter, how are you doing?

---

And then stop talking, same notes Cedric and then lost Lobos.

Don’t take a phone call in the middle of Los Lobos. I did enjoy Monday Night, Mulaney. They’re not taking my notes, says the guy in the basement of the guy dating Olivia Munn. LA Magazine ads folks out at the Netflix Festival. They were at Bill Burr on they write as for Burr.

After openers Nate Craig and Dean del Ray, he took the stage to spew his well honed stick about the sad state of the world. He was his usual curmudgeonly self, riffing on family life, white privilege, and male depression. His takes on middle aged dues at Guitar Center was spot on. We had a surprise guest, John Lovettz, trading barbs back and forth NonStop. These two old pros improvised put downs with love that were just the ticket, not the best.

Review Patton Oswalt at the United Theaterre on May fifth. LA mag says fans rain praise on opening acts Orlando Lava, who clowned that he lost America’s got talent to shadow puppets and Benny Feldman, who noted that his turette syndrome was like the abstract art of disabilities, joking that audience to say I could do that. Patton referred to himself as the cartoon rat guy and joke he’d rather beat the roast of Tom Brady happening at the same time across town. Patton lit up the room with stories about cat demons, the Planter’s Nutmobile, and an ill fated trip to Hobby Lobby, then joked that he should have opened the show Rising from dry ice smoke like zz Tap. Gab Iglesias was at the Palladium on May six.

The show apparently was unruly. Heckler is in more than a couple loaded ladies had to be admonished for yelling out indiscernible nonsense and interrupting comics during the show. Elie mag says, we won’t call out which comics got dragged or whether they deserved it, but let’s just say that anyone can have a bad night, and the female guests on the bill experience what we’re guessing is a rite of passage when facing a room full of drunk strangers who really only care about the headliner who that sounds like it sucks. Bigger names like Deon Cole and Matt Rife fared much better that We found Rife set and particularly his sex and trans material not only mean spirited but painfully unfunny. I think we figured out Matt Rife, right, We figured it out.

Yeah, the crowd disagreed, and the controversial comic got a load of laughs. George Lopez got a third season for his sitcom Lopez Versus Lopez. A comedian Ethan Levine is trying to earn the Guinness title for most ceremonial first pitches thrown. He’s out there this week throwing some first pitches. This week he’s working the Chicago area, but not the actual White Sox, doing some minor league teams.

And Levin told The New York at Jewish Week, I was just doom scrolling one night, and I thought of it and checked to see if there was a record. He figured a small town mayor somewhere must have set a lifetime record for first pitches, but he didn’t find anything. Guinness was like, I don’t know forty. He’s hoping to throw fifty. He says, A million cold emails and cold calls later.

I’m sitting outside of Dunkin Donuts Park, which is home of the Hartford Yard Goats. That’s your comedy news for today.

Caloroga Shark Media. That Johnny Mack laughing because I know what story number six is. Today with your Daily Comedy News Late Night had a couple of good ones. Jimmy found said a man who caused an emergency landing out of flight from London to New Jersey because he allegedly got drunk and started yelling, was finding just twenty thousand dollars. The most surprising thing he was from London and not New Jersey.

Seth Meyer is getting political, he said, please, you think Trump is scared of jail. The place is full of mobsters and white supremacists. He’ll walk into jail like Norm walks into cheers. That joke is epic. I’m writing for the Ballot podcast, which we’re having a lot of fun doing, and Stormy Daniels testified yesterday, so I got to put on my writing hat and head over to ballot Land.

But first Jeff Ross going into spin mode like we all expected. He said, no, Tom Brady’s not mad about the Robert craft joke at all. Why would you think that Ross was on the Rich Eisend show and he said, come on, no way, Brady was having fun. Robert Crafts is like a father figured him. He was just showing his love for Robber Kraft, and Robber Kraft loved it.

We had a great talk afterward. He was so happy. I gave him a shout out and a salute. It was beautiful. Sounds like everyone had a happy ending.

Gross said he loves the roast. Brady is a student of the roast. I kept him in the dark on a lot of the surprises, and he didn’t hear anyone’s jokes. He abided by the rules of the roast, which is basically anything goes and surprise me. I gotta give the guy credit.

He really did it all right. David Letterman doing the Gods of comedy. The first god of comedy is a comedian. I like a lot, but gods of comedy Nate Bergatzy, No, Dave No, maybe you, but not Nate Pergatzy. We all like Nate Pergatzy, but gods of comedy in Apergatsy No, Letterman said, I’ve not met this man said a nudge up against a guy who’s just as good as it gets.

As a thrill for me. In the world of comedy, some perhaps are as good, and no one is better. Ninety minutes Letterman talked to Natepergatsey about Tennessee his journey is a comic, including the time when bookers for The Late Show with David Letterman rejected Nate’s audition tape in twenty twelve. Nate told Letterman, I was told it was too mundane, and I don’t know what the word meant. So I looked it up and put it in my head and I was like, oh, I don’t think that’s good.

Letterman apologized to Nate before playing a clip of Nate on Conan where you performed the same joke he’d submitted to Letterman. Nate talked about his early days as a comedians, saying, you’re just constantly getting told no. So it’s frustrating because everything’s switching and you don’t want to miss out on the things you grew up seeing. But finally I submitted it to Conan and they said, yeah, all we do is mundane. That’s funny.

Letterman said, you mentioned earlier you couldn’t work dirty, had to work clean? Who said that? Who told you that? Nate said, I just never wanted to be dirty in front of my parents. I never we’ve heard that before.

Okay, I don’t write material for kids. But my favorite viewers I see in the crowd are a lot of grandmothers because I don’t think they really have anything they can go watch, and noone wants to go watch anything with them. Jeff Foxworthy said the same thing to me twenty years ago at my special. There was a twelve year old girl sitting in the front row, and then it’s awesome to see a lot of grandparents. I liked that they can all come together because it’s the only stuff that it was allowed to go to as well.

I think if you can make movies like Home Alone and things that everyone can enjoy and everyone can go to, I don’t think that’s happening now. So that’s where I wanted to go. Tiffany Haddish has the back pedals out. This from The Hollywood Reporter. The other night at the Netflix is Joe Comedy Festival, Tiffany captured on video sharing her thoughts on the campus protests.

I will have to paraphrase here, Tiffany said, I don’t give a f about that stuff. I never went to college. Why would I care about college? There’s not genocide at the college. I give an f about what’s going on on the other side of the world.

But why would I give an f about the college? This the stuff I’m talking about. Stupid mffers at the college ain’t never worked a gosh darn day in your life. Do you remember nine to eleven B word? What the F did we do?

America? We went the f over there and we f’t there behind up? Didn’t we? I paraphrased there in case you couldn’t tell. Tiffany spoke to TMZ and said, Yeah, I think they’re gonna protest for one place.

They should protest for all the places that are having genocide happening. How many black people got to dive before we got to protest. If you want to protest, protest. But if you really want to be effective, mcchee, go up to the legislation office, call up you sen it, or call your council, go to Congress, go to the people who make change. Would be way more effective.

I actually feel really bad for the students whose graduation have been canceled. These are the same kids that lost their freshman year. Yeah, complicated issue we’re not going to solve. On Daily Comedy News, Sam Morrell was at the Knicks game some seventy six Ers fans are not happy with these shots Sam directs at their stars. Sam posted the infamous picture of Harvey Weinstein pushing a walker he captured it Joel Embiid when things are heading south.

When Sixers fan heckled Sam back with a picture of Joaquin Phoenix’s character Arthur Fleck bombing in an open mic in The Joker, and they served it on a platter because you know what. In the movie The Joker, there’s a comic who kills before the Joker gets on. You know who that comic is. Yeah, if you figured out how this story is gonna go, that’s right, it’s Sam Morrill. You even hear the MC in The Joker go one more time for Sam Morrell, and then the Joker gets up and bombs Sam apparently, i explained on KFC Radio Barstool.

At one point, the scene was filmed in the closed comedy club Danger Fields. The only instruction he was given was to make sure the jokes would work. In the eighties. Sam decided to tell a different joke for each of the dozens of takes so that the laughter would sound genuine every one of them. That’s smart.

Chris Red was jealous of his performance because Sam got to perform an entire set in front of movie stars, while Red had to repeat at nauseum one more time for Samurel. This is funny too. They said that Sam’s a slambag at the Sixers fan is on par with the Toronto Blue Jays Twitter account response to someone asking for a source on a trade report, the Blue Jays responded, literally us. The Blue Jays, Seth Myers and John Oliver are extending their monthly residency at the Beacon Theater through the end of the year. You know who else announced the tour Joe Koy, Yes, story number six.

It’s the Joe Koy Just being Cooi tour. This kicks off September twenty first, and his statement, Joe Coy said, I never take for granted that I get to live out my dream on the stage every week, and this new tour is something special that I can’t wait to share with everyone. Tickets go on sale today at noon. Pre sale code is comedy, all caps, possibly comedy with a period at the end of it. All caps, then general audience on Friday.

Joe Coy, perhaps best known for hosting the Golden Globes. He was the MC. This year, and he made a very, very, just a terrible joke about Taylor Swift. I kind of don’t want to repeat it, but here, just let me play it for you. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.

The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear it was just where to go to. Here Scott Beckett throwing his coffee at his car windshield right now, Hi, Scott, love you. The Telegraph things in Netflix is testing out at late night type show with this John Mulaney fellow.

I’m seeing a lot of articles about the John Mulaney Late Night Show at the time, but this recording I have only seen the Friday Night Show. Maybe tonight All Watch one or two was very sleepy Monday night, still recovering from Deacon Mike’s big shindig. They know how to party in Cleveland anyway, Seeing a lot of people saying the same thing I said about Friday Night Show, which was it was a mess, and you had Jerry Seinfeld right there the Telegraph ask ken John Mulaney returned to who he was absolutely not, so we’re to next. There’s chatter he might be in line to host the next Oscars. He would be great, But just let Jimmy Kimmel do it.

Don’t mess with it. Just let Jimmy Kimmeill do it. Let Jimmy Kimmell do it for ten years. It’s fine. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken.

You see what happens when you try and fix it. Leave it alone. Tom Blaney could host say the Golden Globes, but you know, don’t make a joke about Taylor Swift due by the way you see Tom Brady, it’s like a shot at Taylor Swift. It’s totally uncalled for here. Listen, Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest.

It helps when all your fans are fourteen year old girls. Mullaney at forty one, some of that squeaky man boy energy is finally dissipating. He’s filled out at such He’s wearing his hair longer, shagger and has stubble more grated. I saw some websites saying m’laney look like in a nineties haircut. I think he looks good, but what do I know.

I’m wearing the same clothes room yesterday recording a podcast in my basement. Telegraph says it may take a long time to reset his career. I completely disagree. He’s already reset his career. He did the specialists out of the way.

Nobody cares. Nobody cares about the drugs, nobody cares what happened with the ex wife. People are happy for him and Olivia mun and the baby would Malcolm. Everybody’s happy. It’s all good tonight on John Mulaney’s la thing.

Sarah Silverman, Tom Sigora, Ronny Chieng, Weezer.

All right, here’s some notes for me, ladies and gentlemen.

Sarah Silverman, Hey, Sarah, what’s going on? Shut up? My next guest? The very funny Tom Segura, Hey Tom, what’s going on? Shut up?

My next guest? You know him from The Daily Show? The very hilarious Ronny Chieng, Ronnie, what’s going on? Did you watch the Trump trial? Then?

Shut up, ladies and gentlemen. Weezer, and don’t take a phone call in the middle of Weezer. I’m gonna miss this Netflix comedy fest when it’s over. Right tonight again the website just with a really weird layouts, so I jump all over on the Times seven point thirty met rife. Eight o’clock shing us Mike EPs at seven Dodgers Comedy Night, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and presented by all Star Dodgers Catcher, Will Smith, Super Curious featuring Dusty Slay, Felipiasparza, Heather McMahon, Justin Wilman, Tom Poppa.

It’s pretty good, but might have to pick Shane over that. We’ll see what the rest of the list is. Seven o’clock just added the Alli Wong Residency. She was taping a special. Let me tell you what’s going on there.

They don’t like what they got at the taping. She was taping a special over the weekend. Just added, means we don’t have a special on tape yet, do one more? That’s what’s going on there. Jimmy Carr at seven Gods of Comedy with Letterman seven thirty.

Are they telling you, Susan, No, they won’t tell us who’s on. I don’t really like Letterman the interviewer anyway. I’d rather see Dave throwing stuff of a five story tower, honestly. Eight o’clock just added an all Star Tribute to the Comedy Union. Low tickets warning for Christina Pe at seven, Plenty of tickets available at nine five apparently Lavelle Crawford nine to forty five, he’s really good.

Let’s see what else we’ve got here. I’ve noticed as you scrolled down it gets a little less interesting. Ali CDC at seven, Jay Farrell seven thirty Made in Brazil just added, not to be confused with Made in Canada at seven. There’s just too many shows, all right. If you and I were in Los Angeles, Shane gillis early and you want to do Lavelle Crawford late, you want to do Christina Pee late.

Meanwhile, at Sydney, I put some work into this for reels, trying to pull clips. Most of these artists do not have clips. I discovered the Sydney Festival Facebook page and I was like, ooh, there’s clips. And one of the clips just was not funny, the other was a little too dirty.

---

And then I found one clip for tomorrow’s list at Sydney, but we had played th…

Today. Let me tell you about one or two of the shows. Oliver Coleman’s show is called goof Coleman comes on stage and gets straight into it. He’s on fire tonight. Something has obviously gone terribly wrong.

People from the audience outed him to stop, drop and roll, but he’s acting like this happens every night. The man’s professional. He’s got jokes to tell. Winner Best Comedy Weekly Award, Adelaide Fringe twenty twenty two. The Advertiser says, a five stars comic genius catapults to the point of sheer chaos.

We played him before in Melbourne. He’s the guy that we told you about. He does a joke about stand up comedy being basically a high school auditorium performance. Stephen k Amos, Wow, I haven’t heard his name and forever. He’s fantastic.

No clip though, Oh no, there is a clip. I missed this earlier. Here, let’s listen. I’ve got to say what a pleasure it is to come back. It’s been a weird couple of years.

In fact, I to come back on this trip, I had to do a four and a half month’s paperwork to get permission exemption to fly into this country. The dare arrived, You guys, change the rules. I arrived Immigration. The guy was like anything to declare, I gave him my file, this figurement. We don’t need that anymore and even just go on then go on, go in.

So thank god I brought those three hundred cigarettes from Dubai. Tried to salvage that one. He went a long way for a joke with a funny punch line, but it ended with a hard C word and we don’t do that here. Our Daily Comedy News Devin Walker, James Austin Johnson and Andrew de Simukee sevennounced a nine city comedy tour. It is called the Summer Jobs Tour.

Caloroga Shark Media. Man, there’s so much going on. I could seriously pre tape next week and tating next week off. I’ve been bouncing so many stories. I am Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.

Netflix just dominating everything. And if you listen, last week, I was doing a lot of stories about Jerry Seinfeld. I appreciate someone who’s self aware. Listen to this clip. I’ve trimmed it down a little bit for pacing and to get to the good stuff.

But here, enjoy this, guys. Oftentimes when an actor is promoting a new movie, let’s say a Netflix movie, they have to do a lot of press, sometimes too much press. Here to comment is a man who did too much press. Oh my god, I gotta stop. Yeah, you’ve you’ve kind of been everywhere.

I mean, I’ve seen you. You’ve been. I even saw you on Rich eisen I wasn’t on Rich Eyson, No, you were. I saw it. I like Rich Eyeson.

I find him accessible. Yeah. Yeah, it’s a sports show. I know I know that now so well for the viewers, how does someone know that they’re doing excessive press? Well, that’s the thing you don’t know.

I mean until someone who cares about you, shows you a video package and you see yourself with people with these names Hoda Morocca, Chanel Vlad And I know I can’t undo all the press I’ve done, but I want to help other people. If you’re struggling with press, you’re not alone. I’m talking to you, Ryan Gosling. When I started doing press ron Frost that I was like, you funny, good looking. Now look at me.

Do you think this is how I wanted to spend my twenty sixth birthday. Nice job, Jerry. So yesterday I published a bonus episode. In the bonus episode, I discussed at length the roast of Tom Brady, What an amazing event. I also discussed Kat Williams, and I gave you short shrift to Bin.

I realized after I published it. When I read the substack version of the podcast, I’m like, oh, I probably should have actually talked about Mulaney on this podcast, So let me do that right now. Friday night, I watched John Mulaney Everybody’s Live in LA and for the first ten to fifteen minutes I thought eighties letterman had come back to me. And I’m talking about the very very early Lucy Goosey brown set, not the blue set, the brown set David Letterman, when you’d get a lot of Chris Elliot and a lot of Larry Budd Melman. John came out, he looks great with the longer hair, did a nice monologue, did the equivalent of a desk piece about the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, although he was technically standing.

And then Jerry Seinfeld comes out, and I’m watching this and I’m like, give this guy a late night show right now. This is amazing again, Lucy Goosey. They did a field bit where they had a guy up in the hill somewhere waiting for coyotes. The bit kind of went nowhere and fell flat in that very funny early eighties Letterman way of we’re just throwing stuff to see what happens. Conan kind of had that vibe on his Late show, and I’m loving it.

Right I’m thinking, sign Milleniu up. So Jerry comes out and he’s paired up with a coyote expert. This is Friday Night Show, not Last Night with John Stewart, which is weird and quirky. Now the coyote guy who’s sitting there with Jerry Seinfeld and John Mulaney held his own and was entertaining. Jerry’s doing the what the hell is this show kind of vibe and it’s just fun.

And now the mistakes started to happen. Somebody decided it was a good idea to take a live call. Now. I have worked in audio radio, podcasting, satellite broadcasting since nineteen ninety two, professionally since nineteen eighty seven, including college. I will tell you this, civilians cannot tell a story.

If you’re doing say, political talker radio, which I’ve done, you coach the caller to get right to their point, and I’m telling you, after the first sentence it’s diminishing returns and hang up on the caller and get the ball back to your host. So Netflix’s producer decided, okay, we’ve got John Mulaney and Jerry Seinfeld, let’s take a call from a civilian. And this nice woman starts telling her coyote story, but she doesn’t know how to tell a story, and Jerry’s trying to save it, and it goes on and on and on, and I’m like, you have Jerry Seinfeld sitting there, what are you doing. They finally hang up with her and they don’t have commercials. It’s Netflix, so they throw it to a prepackaged thing where I don’t even remember who.

It was, a bunch of comedians going house hunting. The packaged bit was so bad that I went upstairs and started talking to my wife. That’s not a rip at my wife. I was just like, not in Eddie, hurry to get back to the TV. By the time I came back downstairs, Seinfeld was gone, and I’m like, you had Jerry Seinfeld and you wasted it on a caller, and now Jerry’s gone.

What are you doing? That said? I think there’s a lot of potential in Milaney as a late night host. And by late night, I mean yeah, ten pm on Netflix, maybe even a little earlier for US East Coast people like to go to bed Hi. I think that would be fantastic.

I’m not sure we need five nights a week. That’s a lot of content to consume here in the mid twenties. But if you gave me Mulanie, I don’t know, Monday to Thursday, Tuesday to Thursday, three times a week, keep it short, maybe do a tight forty five minutes, I think it could be really good. My other note to John Mulaney and the producers. Teach this to my college students.

I teach this professionally as a broadcasting executive. Johnny Carson had it right. When you have a good guest, shut up and let your guest be funny. The anecdotal example is Johnny would have on, say Burt Reynolds. Burt Reynolds would tell a great story.

Johnny would sit there and laugh, and the next day at work everybody would say, did you see Carson. So John Mulaney, you’re very funny yourself, But when Jerry Seinfeld sitting there, just shut up, stay out of the way, and definitely don’t take calls anyway. Mullanie a lot of potential, A lot of potential hasan minaj at the Netflix Festival said We’ve all failed at our lives. But if you ever failed so bad that you bring back John Stewart is a great joke. He said, I saved a dying institution.

You’re welcome. John himself performed at the Netflix is a Juket Festival. This from the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. John played the Greek Theater Friday Night, six thousand seats outdoors. Ricky Valez opened and Ricky Set.

He talked about having a Jewish wife, a friend who has four dads, which is one dad away from an Ocean’s eleven movie, being a nineties kid, Dodgeball and Joe Biden. Next up Josh Johnson from The Daily Show. He commented on the surroundings. The Greek Theater has a really good view, and he said not every show’s like this, and he talked about staying in a hotel with friends, companies pretending to be your friend, and deconstructing KFC. Mike Birbiglia.

Next up is set per the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. Consisted of imagining his daughter as a fifteen year old, his daughter doing ballet, and his marriage. Sarah Silverman then kept her set pretty tight. She said she’s in the process of starting over after releasing a special last year that is a pretty good special if you haven’t seen it. She admitted she was working out material that her topics included what it’s like to be on tour, a fly sketch she wrote for Phil Hartman on SNL and targeted ads.

Musical act Gary Clark Junior came up and did four songs that makes me go huh why with the eight hundred pound. Grella said it was a fun way to break up the comedy and a special treat to see him play a mini concert. Okay, we Les came back out and introduced John Stewart instead. Jimmy Kimmel walked out. He did about a minute and joked about what it’s like to visit John Stewart’s home.

Kim Old joked, what is Netflix getting out of the festival? This is six thousand people not home watching Netflix. That’s a good joke. John Stewart came out, his hair whiter than when he left The Daily Show, and he said, this is what I look like now. He joked about how aging is a humbling process, how he tore his rotator cuff, and how he to use his reading glasses to entertain himself.

He also talked about the presidential candidates, a dehydrated Mitch McConnell, and voters flipping from Obama to Trump, which reminds me to plug the Ballot podcast. We’re putting that out five days a week, sometimes seven days a week, depending on what the candidates do. That’s been a lot of fun lately. Ballot wherever he shows BA double lot, We’ve realized people don’t know how to spell ballot. Even on the back end, we spelled it with two te’s.

Stewart talked about anti Semitism issues, what the anti woke will get to that in a second, and a bit about buying an AR fifteen to test gun restrictions. Eight hundred pound Gorilla said an evening of comedy that cannot be missed. As for the anti wokeness, John questioned, what are you losing? You can’t say anything anymore? What do you want to say?

Shut the f up? And by the way, people who talk about anti woker the biggest efing wises you’ll ever find. I’m just so tired of it, the woke stuff. You lose nothing. I’m a comedian.

I’ve lost two words in thirty five years. Honestly, are you that unimaginative that you can’t figure it out? I don’t Liberals say, don’t say Joe Biden is old. Don’t say what people see with their own eyes. You could say it, he can’t hear us.

I know you know how efing old he is. I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so effing old when you watch him on television. You’re nervous, aren’t you. I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president. Wanda Sykes returned to the Dolby Theater for the first time since two thousand and two, and she joked, I bet you don’t remember I was here that night.

That night in question the oscars. You may have heard about this Will Smith incidents. Yes, the eight hundred pound Gorilla was at that show too. They’ve got good credentials and more free time than I have. I would have loved to have hit this thing.

Her opener Keith Robinson. Keith has had two strokes. He is aided by a cane, and he talked about how his life has changed and even had fun with the crowd. Wanda Sykes came out, talked about the Oscars. She talked about turning sixty married life for time management, the writer strike, the importance of voting, and why she stopped drinking so much.

Gorilla writes, if you’ve only seen Sykes in her specials and haven’t seen her live yet, we definitely recommend it next time she’s in a city near you. There’s a certain energy in the room that can’t be replicated, even in the best stand up special from The Daily Beast. Ted Cruz not happy with Tom Sigora. Ted Cruz was on Megan McCain’s podcast. They discussed a bit in Tom Sigora’s special Sledgehammer where Sigoura says Ted Cruise is his neighbor and that Ted Cruise once asked him about the origin of the word mf R.

It’s complete fiction. It’s utterly made up. I’ve never met the guy. I’ve sadly watched it on Twitter. It’s twisted and deranged, and it’s complete fiction, which of course means every lefty believes it’s true because it’s horrible about me, and he just made it up and got some laps from lefties who hate me.

Remember the man who rushed the stage during Dave Chappelle’s performance at the Netflix Festival two years ago. That man has fired a lawsuit that alleges security officers and members of Chappelle’s entourage beat him, ruthlessly, dislocated his shoulder, and spat on him for CBS News. The man in question identifies as bisexual and was offended by Dave Chappelle’s jokes relating to the LGBTQ community. He was arrested after the attack and held on charges of mister meter counts a battery and possession of a weapon with intent to assault after police discovered he had a replica handgun containing a knife in his possession. The lawsuit claims the Hollywood Bowl and the security company had hired had a duty to exercise reasonable care.

It is unclear how much he’s suing for. Let’s see what’s happening at the Netflix Festival today, nine am. The Two Bears five K, seven point thirty Seth Rogan Smokes The Bowl seven thirty. Conan O’Brien needs a Friend, Ali Wong at seven. That one just added.

Hannah Gatsby and close personal acquaintance is at seven. The Gods of Comedy with David Letterman at seven thirty. Not sure who are the Gods of comedy, but I’m intrigued. I’m a big Letterman fan. As you’ve probably picked up sold Out Asian Nation with Nigel Ang and that’s at seven.

Most shows aren’t listed as sold out, so it’s interesting that that one is. What’s this seven and nine? Low Key Comedy show? Low Key Comedy at the Troubadour Adam Ray, Francisco ramos Ian Edwards also surprise guest. That’s low key comedy.

Kind of enjoying low key comedy because I just recorded the bonus episode and we’re like fifteen seventeen minutes into this one, and my voices shot, can I stay at this cadence instead? I’m usual, Hey, I’m Johnny Mack. Can I just stay here? Seven o’clock, Sam Campbell, two shows, Joe Kim Boosters seven and nine forty five, Donnell Rawlings at seven boy this is some festival. They are just crushing it.

I got to turn a pack on, don’t I. Yeah, I’m starting to just drown here. Seven thirty Sophie Bottle and a bunch of other shows I didn’t tell you about. Let’s see what’s at Sydney. I will pull clips today because I want to go have a soda.

Any Boyle show is called any Are You? Oh? Okay? Love it? The Sydney Arts Guide four star is easily reminded of Flea Bag with an elegant dash of Annie Hall.

All right, that sounds good. That’s all I can tell you about that show. There’s no clips, no other reviews. Billy Williams You’re So Brave Billy Williams says comedy is hard. Don’t believe it.

Then come to You’re So Brave Billy Williams and watch her trying new jokes for the first time as well as old jokes, as well as she tells you why she is so brave. Apparently she is a New Yorker. Come for the comedy, stay for the drinks, and eventually be asked to leave because look, it’s three am. Love it. There seems to be a really strong scene of women comedians south of the equator.

We got to get this up here. I’ve been accused in the past of only talking about men comedians. Here in the Northern hemisphere, especially in North America, the male comedians are dominating the scene. That’s why I talk about them. Please note, because I am sensitive about this, go back and listen to the last month of shows and listen to the names that I’ve brought up.

What a great scene down there. We really need to get that up here. And my voice is shot, I’m gonna stop talking. That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it too. If you would like these episodes ad free. Become a paid subscriber to Caloroga Shark Media Plus, open up the Apple Podcast app, and I’ll put it right in front of you. For ninety nine month, you’ll get this and the other shows on the network add free. As I’ve been mentioning, I can’t preload it for three o’clock.

But I have a meeting on the calendar to talk about that to fix that. But in the meantime, I can’t post the ad free version of this until I get up in the morning. And on Monday, I had to drive my kid to school and I didn’t get it up till about seven fifty five in the morning. With the bonus episode I put out right away because I was already out of bed. But again I have to publish it on the main feed, wait for it to clear Apple Podcast customs, and then when I see it and go, oh, here’s the ad free version.

Very convoluted. All right, I’m gonna stop talking. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media phonus episode about the roast of Tom Brady and all the great stuff from Netflix over the weekend. The regular episode from Monday is earlier in this feed. I’m just talking as I think here, so this will be a little more free form than usual. But Wow, I mean in the Roast of Tom Brady, what keeps going through my head was the super Bowl of comedy. If they ever did that again and made the comedian list a little bit stronger.

You add a Chappelle or a Melaney to that day asn’t wow. But boy, great job Netflix. Oh my goodness, what an amazing special three hours roasting Tom Brady. I kept notes. I shared the notes as we went along in the Facebook group.

I’ve got a notepad here. Where do we start? Kevin Hart Man crushed it now. On previous podcasts, I have said that I don’t find Kevin Hart all that funny. Sunday Night, Kevin Hart you were awesomely funny.

He’s slate as far as I’m concerned. Let him host all of these for now. On Wow, Kevin opened by saying they were already roast the greatest quarterback of all time, and then said, wait, Joe Montana is here some good lines from Kevin. I’ve never seen Englewood so white. It’s so bleeping white in here.

It looks like a Bruce Springsteen concert. Just let out. Kevin joked about why they were doing it in the Forum and not the Crypto dot com arena. Kevin said, the reason we didn’t go there is we didn’t want to remind Tom’s fans of how much money he owes them. He f those people fing good, didn’t he?

But the joke I kept misquoting to my wife. That really stuck with me. Kevin Hart with an absolute sleigh, and some people were like, Tom Brady might regret doing this. Kevin said, single life is what you deserve because you had no choice. Jesse Elle said, you retire, We’re done.

Let me tell you something. When you got a chance to go eight and nine and all all the costumes, your wife and kids, you gotta do what you gotta do. You know what that’s called, Tom, That’s called real stuff f them kids. Wow. All right, So Kevin crushes passes over to Jeff Ross.

Ross walks out in an O J Simpson jersey that said, roast Jay Simpson at number thirty two. Jeff Ross a pro at this the roast master right, so he crushes, So we’re two for two in hilarious. Next up was Drew Bledsoe. Drew Bledsoe the quarterback of the Patriots before Tom Brady. He was really good.

I assume Jeff Ross and the writers wrote Drew’s material, but he executed it really well. And as the night went on and we had other non comedians performing, it really showed what a good performer Drew Bledsoe was. Nicky Glazer got up and I wrote the note that the first few minutes it sounded like she was executing someone else’s material. They just sounded to my ear like Jeff Ross jokes. But then Nicky got in the groove and got some of the best reactions of the night.

One of hers lays, Seriously, Tom, you’re the best to ever play. For too long, you were tired, you came back, then you’re retired again. I get it. It’s hard to walk away from something that’s not yourgnant girlfriend. She tagged that with Hey, to be fair, he didn’t know she was pregnant.

He just thought she was getting fat. Wow. Next up Randy Moss wide receiver. That was the first lull of the night. Okay, we understand.

Kim Kardashian got up, She was booed, she added nothing. She sounded like she was executing Jeff Ross jokes. That makes sense. Bert Krascher and Tom Segura got up together and had really uncomfortable energy. They were doing that side to side rock that you’ll see high schoolers do when they’re on a stage in front of their classmates.

Sagora landed some jokes. Bert Kraser ate it, as they say in the business. I don’t know what was going on there. Sam Jay was all right. I actually wrote time to get the ball back to Kevin Hart.

There started to be a lull there. Will Ferrell came out as Ron Burgundy. As I wrote on Facebook, Will Ferrell has been coasting on reputation for over a decade now. Will was not funny to the point that I wrote in my notes, Bill Belichick was funnier than Will Ferrell, Bill Strong material, whoever wrote it, he just wasn’t that good at delivering it, but still funnier than Will Ferrell doing the thing. Will.

I don’t know then, what a nice spotlight for Tony Hinecliff. If you don’t know Tony and kill Tony. You’re going to Now this probably really elevated that whole thing he crushed. They did a bit of kill Tony called kill Tommy. They pulled a name out of the hat.

There was one name in the hat. It was Dana White from the UFC. Dana was pretty tight. Tony facing backlash over a joke about Kim Kardashian and brother New York Post. As the post points out, Hingecliff, known for insul comedy, was discussing the Will Ferrell movie Anchorman and it’s famous whales vagina line.

The controversial joke from Tony Hinchcliff wales vagina, which reminds me Kim Kardashian’s here. She’s had a lot of black men celebrating her end zone Kim word of advice, closer legs. Then he got a little too naughty for this podcast. One social media user wrote, slutsha women in front of a crowd of people and making women the butt of a joke for absolutely no reason is so disrespectful And what’s the punchline? Misogyny?

It’s a roast, That’s what a roast is. Then grunk got up. He had some okay material. I wrote, working too fast, but he’s not a comic. Andrew Schultz, then Krush showing what a pro can do.

Very fun, great pacing. Robert Kraft spoke, didn’t really make too many jokes. Ben Affleck awful, he was really boring. I actually facebook posted give Affleck the light. The light being the thing they do in the back of a comedy club telling a comedian it’s time to wrap it up after Affleck set, Jeff Ross jokes this is the only time I wish Netflix had commercials.

People were making fun of ben afflex bad plastic surgery. One person tweeted Ben Affleck’s face looks insane. Another person wrote, ben Affleck couldn’t afford good plastic surgery. No wonder he seems so angry that’s permanent. His set did not go overwhell some comments on social ben Affleck going on an unhinged rant about fans on social media at the Tom Brady Rose was not on my bait card.

Another fan compared it to a car crash. A third said, next time, get somebody else to do it. Don’t ever invite Ben Affleck again. I doubt we’ll have Ben Affleck at the roasta of Donald Trump or whatever the next thing is. Peyton Manning got up, had some good material.

He worked his material too quickly. Same note I’ve said before, he’s not a comedian, so I get it.

And then Tom Brady himself got up.

Brady had the delivery of a high school valedictorian, but the material was pretty good. He shot back at everyone. Peyton Manning, thank you so much for coming out to LA to do this. I know you sometimes live in Denver and sometimes you live in Louisiana, but you’ll always live in my shadow. That was pretty good.

On Kevin Hard. I’ve heard some people talk about me having bad knees. My knees are so messed up, Kevin, because I spent so many hours on the floor begging Netflix to get CHAPPELLEO. Ho’s this good rip on Kim, Thank you so much for being here. I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight, not because of this, but because their kids are home with their dad.

That a Kanye West joke. In case you didn’t follow Tom making big NFL news that I’m sure is going to be analyzed, he said, remember to flight Gate, the NFL spent twenty million dollars and found it was more probable than not that I was generally aware that someone may have deflated my footballs. You could have just given me the twenty million dollars and I would have just told you I often did it. But then Tom Brady made this horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. Here.

Let’s listen, Kansas City. You say your stadium is the loudest. It helps when all your fans are fourteen year old girls. Oh man, that is so mean. I feel bad for Taylor.

Everybody always making jokes about her all the time, and they’re so vicious. Tom tag that with a joke about the chiefs eras terrible for fifty years, good for five. I’m skimming my notes here to see what I missed. A good one from Tom Sigora and Bert Krasier. I forget which one of them said this joke, but the line was the only difference between Tom Brady and Hitler is that Hitler stuck with his wife until the end.

Ouch. That’s great. Oh, here’s the Dana White joke from Andrew Schultz. That’s who it was from. That’s why Dana White is here so you can learn how to screw a Brazilian out of half their purse.

Before the event, Tom Brady said, it’s like a football game. You run over with a game plan, then you gone and see how the stratguy goes and you’re just in the fly. This is what a locker room’s been like for me all these years, so it’s not like I’m used to people not making fun of me. There was a weird moment that’s gonna be talked about a lot. Jeff Ross had made a reference to Patriots owner Robert Kraft getting a massage.

Brady walked up to Ross and said in his ear, don’t say that stuff again. It was caught on the microphone and it was awkward. I’m sure someone will dive into that, and I’m sure the spin will be that Tom was kidding. Yeah, huh. Some people thought we were gonna have a Will Smith moment.

That would have been amazing, because that moment was I don’t know, fifteen minutes in at a special That would have been great to see a Will Smith moment, and then two and a half hours of awkwardness. Good joke by Tom Brady about Peyton Manning when I heard there was a slow white Bronco heading down the four or five to come here tonight. I thought we might actually see a real football legend. Kevin Art said, I love he’s embracing the things that some people thinks he runs away from. It’s a celebration of great and we’re doing it in a fun way.

Right, let’s take the break, we’ll come back, We’ll taw Kat Williams, Seinfeld and Mulaney. I was all jazzed to watch Kat Williams, and I finally got to watch it Sunday around six thirty. So it was a nice appetizer for the Tom Brady. It was okay, back to the whole special verse hour thing. I felt Kat Williams felt special.

It was live, a big, good looking theater. The set, the physical set looked great. It looked like an event. I don’t know what I was looking for from Cat. Maybe I just wanted him to just tear everybody down.

He didn’t really do that. I found it really compelling. I was definitely entertained. He is an entertainer. I’m not sure how funny the special was.

And as I watched it, I noticed Kat will set up jokes for a full forty five seconds and get an ok punchline. It’s more style than laughs, but I do enjoy watching him. I did add it to my best of twenty twenty four list, which right now number one. Roast of Tom Brady to a Tel three, Triumph, four Days, Cross, five, Dusty Sleigh, six Canines, seven to Meet You more Than eight, Jimmy Carr nine, Kat Williams ten, Hannah Gatsby’s gender agenda. For the top tier, I’d probably draw the line after David Cross.

All Right, Tom Brady, Attel, Triumph, and David Cross are your top tier right now. I’ve said this three four times already this year, that it’s gonna be hard to top X. I thought Cross was great, and then Triumph was better, and then Detail showed you how it’s done. But that roast of Tom Brady three hours, and I’ve talked about how I’m a comedy snob and I don’t laugh at stuff. I was chuckling out loud most of the night.

Will be really tough to beat anyway. Kat Williams, it was fine. I took notes to see what else I wrote. I do want to point out I watched the edited version, not the live version. I’m not sure if that mattered.

He started heading for trans material and I was like, really, can we just not do that? That’s really it, Kat Williams. It was fine, watchable, you’ll enjoy it. I watched the Pop Tarts movie Unfrosted. I loved it.

Actually, I need to add that to the list. That was really good as well, really enjoyable. I’m not sure. I don’t. I’ll think about where I’m gonna add it, but I’m gonna just leave myself a note to at it while I have my best of list open.

I like a movie that knows what it is, and that movie knows what it is. It’s silly, turn your brain off. Nothing there is real. It’s just a lot of fun. There’s some amazing cameos.

There’s one cameo in particular with two people who are known to work together, and I don’t want to spoil it. You may have seen it on the interwebs and I was like, this is great. Jerry’s fine in it. Jim Gaffigan looked like he was five minutes from dying. So I mentioned over the weekend he’s apparently taking ozempic equivalent and I can see why.

I don’t know if they padded him up. He looks terrible in the movie. My wife randomly blurted out that Amy Schumer’s unlikable. You could send her notes. There’s something about Amy Man I don’t know.

She’s fine in it. Jerry doing Jerry things. I loved Hugh Grant in it. I felt he was chewing the scenery. It reminded me of Ricardo Montleban and Star Trek to the Wrath of Kahn.

Just a great performance, having fun over the top. Unfrot I recommend I know on the normal episode that it went out earlier. Today I read a bunch of terrible reviews. I disagree with all of them. I think Unfrosted nailed it.

In Towner reminds me of Weird the Al Yankovic story. Just a fun rop one hour thirty six, which by the way, is the perfect length for any movie.

---

And then the other thing I watched was John Mulaney Friday Night.

I’ll be curious to see what they do tonight. I actually wrote a substack about it. The substack is free. The link is in the notes, and if you want to read what I wrote, just you know, just open that up. You can subscribe for free, or you can just hit no thanks and read the one.

But basically it was misproduced. We’re long here already and this is a bonus episode, so I’ll let you read my thoughts. But the short version is, you had Jerry Seinfeld sitting there and they decided to take a phone call. I am some sort of radio audio expert. Civilians cannot tell a story.

So you’ve got Jerry there and you’re turning your show over to a random woman who called in to tell a story she thinks is funny. Jerry Seinfeld is sitting there with what are you doing? Misproduced? Then they threw it to a pre recorded piece that was terrible, and then when it came back from that, Seinfeld was gone. I’m like, yeah, had Jerry Seinfeld sitting there?

That said, I saw sparks of mulaney, especially in the first ten minutes. That reminded me of early eighties Letterman, when the set was still brown, not even the blue set, the really early days where you’d get a lot of Chris Elliot, you’d get a lot of Larry bud Melman. There’s something there. I hope somebody at Netflix read my substack and took my notes. I’ll be very curious to see what mulaney does now.

I don’t know if I could step to eleven again. I got in from Cleveland at one forty am on Sunday. Congratulations, Deacon. Mike and my dog had me up at seven point thirty and then up Sunday night past eleven o’clock. I wanted to do this episode Sunday night.

I just did have another ninety minutes send me to bang this out. But yeah, mullaney, there’s something there. I’d be really curious to see what he does. My point, I’ve lost my train of thought. Point is, I don’t know if I could say up to eleven o’clock again tonight, So I might have to watch that on one day delay, or maybe I’ll let a bunch of them gather and catch up on that.

But again, if you have Jerry Seinfeld next to you, just use him. Tonight’s guest main guest is John Stewart. The second guest is Gabe Iglesias. As I run on the substack, Johnny Carson would shut up and let his guests be funny. That’s all you have to do.

Hey, here’s John Stewart. Johnny, you’re watching the Trump Stormy Daniels trial and then stop talking. That’s all you gotta do, all right. Normal episode from Monday is earlier in the feed Back Tomorrow substack link in the notes. If you’re just discovering this podcast today, I do this seven days a week.

Check it out. I’ve already blown out my voice and i still have to record Tuesday’s podcast. Not good, all right, see you in the morning.

Caloroga Shark Media a very very robust Monday. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. A good joke by Jimmy Kimmel who said Marjorie Taylor Green is acting like such a child that Matt gets asked her out on a date. By the way, if he wants some political comedy, check out the Ballot podcast. So I’m up two minds here.

One, this really is a robust show with a lot of great stuff. On the other hand, honestly kind of frustrated. I wrote and recorded this on Friday because I was going to Cleveland on Saturday and just needed to get in front of things. So I will talk about Kat Williams, and I will talk about Tom Brady, and I will talk about the Pop Tarts movie. I’ll do all that tomorrow because as I record this, haven’t seen him yet.

That kind of sucks. By the way, the big difference between Cleveland and the Golden Globes Cleveland has fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Heading into the weekend, Jeff Ross thought that Tom Brady was going to have the strongest say. During the roast of Tom Brady, Ross said, I watched him running some material. He’s ruthless.

He wants to win his own roast. I caught him in the last super Bowl he won, like three years ago. On Super Bowl Sunday, I saw him looking at my Instagram stories. I’m posting roasty jokes about the Super Bowl and I happened to see Tom brady verified account and he’s playing in the super Bowl three hours and I’m like, this is what this guy’s doing right before the Super Bowl.

And then he won, and I said, man, I think he’d be a great person a roast.

We can invite Julian Edelman, he can explain the jokes to Gronk. It could be a fun night out. Brady was like, LFG, let’s go. Then he agreed to do it. He signed the contract.

Then to get out of it, he unretired for two years. To his credit, he’s stuck with it and he’s brave. Man. The thing I love about Tom Brady is he’s a student of the roast and it was his dream to get roasted. Cat Williams big profile in The New York Times.

I shared it in the Facebook group on Friday Daily Comedy News podcast group The New York Times says with a mister Rogers level of thoughtfulness. Kat said, I thought I had worked out a way of breaking the Internet, and I felt pretty confident, so I kind of wrote it like a one man movie, with the intention of the outcome and the trails off there the time. Says few people are better at weaving narratives that seem too incredible to be true than Kat Williams, like when Cat describes how he taught himself to fall asleep exactly fifty nine seconds where’s caat Williams himself puts it, The benefit of Cat Williams Live is that you don’t know in any way what he’s gonna say. I try to write the seven to ten most bleeping things that I think, and I try to make that into the comedy show. And our long special comprises ten to twelve standalone pieces, which usually leaves Cat looking at a bit or two.

As he’s writing. For this set, he paired down what started as a ninety minute set. On the road, Cat watches footage of the previous night For the first thirty so dates, Cat says, my job is to let this guy know, Hey, you’re looking old out there. You’re gonna work this stage. He says, most off and he’s not refining the words, but the delivery a bigger gesture and a different tilt of the head.

By the way, if you’re in Cincinnati April twenty seventh, you missed it is now Cat Williams Day. Yeah, Cincinnati proclaimed Cat Williams Day due to notable career and performances at established venues such as the Improv. Amy Schumer was honored at the Variety Power of Women. She teld the yucky story about on a recent project, the cruise production assistant had been sexually harassed by an actor on set. Amy says she told the appropriate people and did what she needed to do to feel safe and to heal.

I called her to apologize and thank her for speaking up for the women who would come after her that she had saved. This isn’t perfect. This is progress, and many of you here today your work will help guide these women. So when the time comes, they’ll say, oh, I’m so sorry, not on my watch, mfor Here’s a clip from Amy. Some women may say, some people may say that women are good leaders.

I know, I’m serious. Some people they think we’re good at communicating and maybe we should be running more things. It’s crazy and we carry the wisdom of so many brilliant women before us. We know from Bell Hooks that learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. From Glory as steinem we know that we are linked, not ranked, from Paula gettings that one of our core principles should be making women equal to women.

Somebody else who spoke at this was named Sasha Seinfeld Seinfeld. That name is familiar a. Sasha Seinfeld is a staff reuter on Life and Beth. Oh and she’s the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld. That’s weird because Jerry sometimes puts Amy in movies.

Oh okay, welcome to Hollywood, everybody. That’s all it works. Sasha spoke about Amy Schumer here. Let’s listen. Amy, a smart person unafraid of seeming dumb, was my entry point into womanhood.

What she lacks in propriety she makes up for in HUTSBA. Until Amy, no one had ever told me to be courageous, be saucy, confront people, say your wildest, most truthful inner thoughts, take that last trip before someone else does. She is exactly the kind of woman I want to be. In another clip, I don’t audio of Sasha Seinfeld is telling a story about Amy Schumer at the memorial dinner for Jimmy Buffett. I didn’t know Jimmy Buffett and Amy Schumer were tight.

We welcome to Holly what everyone? When Jane Buffett entered the room of grieving guests, Amy took one of her boobs out, walked right up to Jane and gave her a big hug. It cut right through the darkness and made everyone smile. Sasha Seinfeld said. Amy said to daughter Delaney Buffett, I could see them being friends.

As I believe both these Seinfelds and Buffetts have homes in the Hamptons. Maybe Amy does too. According to Sasha, Amy joked, if it makes you feel any better, I wish my dad was dead. Sasha Seinfeld, writer on Amy Schumer, projects her dad is Jerry Seinfeld. Have you heard of him.

He’s got a new movie called Unfrosted. He’s not gonna like the reviews. Here’s a roundup. The Chicago Sun Times declared Unfrosted one of the decades worst movies. If there was such a thing called the IMDb Witness Protection program where you could get your name taken off the credits of a particular product.

This would be that project. Wow. I’m quite surprised because the trailer looked fun. As I record this on for IDA, I have at CD yet playing on watching it with my wife at seven pm. It’s on the family calendar.

That said, a lot of Netflix movies are terrible. Netflix. I feel like in the last fourm Ons has gotten a lot better, but a lot of Netflix movies have been pretty terrible. The Daily Globe and Mail called it one big steaming pile dot dot dot, a distressingly laughrey affair, like a long lost Lorne Michael’s produced SNL feature from the nineties. Jokes so hacky that Kenny Bonia wouldn’t touch them, and the pacings so slow it rivals Elane’s experience during the English patient Yikes.

The Daily Beast called the movie as bad as you’d expect, superior to Seinfeld’s B movie. It’s content to be child, content to be childishly silly rather than legitimately weird. There’s nothing particularly awful about it, but there’s also very little that’s a memorable. That’s kind of what I’m expecting, Collider wrote, considering we’re in a world where Barbie can make one point four billion dollars. It’s a shame Unfrosted doesn’t try harder again.

Even a film like Weird The Wonderful Weird Al Movie managed to make its jokes and cameo’s work as part of a larger story, whereas Unfrosted always puts the story on the back burner. The San Francisco Chronicles says Seinfeld’s over the top throw and everything but the kitchen sink approach mixed for an uneven film, with some gags inspired, others grown inducing. The Guardian was kinder, saying it’s all It’s not exactly a masterpiece, but amiable and funny in a way that’s much harder to achieve than it looks. The Washington Post gave it two and a half stars and said Unfrosted maybe the platonic ideal of the Netflix movie ephemeral, edible, enjoyable, forgettable. Jerry kicked off The Netflix Is a Joke at Comedy Festival last week.

He did the show with Jim Gaffigan, Nate Pergatziy, and Sebastian Maniscalco. Jerry called it, according to Hollywood Reporter, one of the best nights I’ve had in my entire life. Wow, Jerry said, I’m here with the greatest comedians we could get that were available tonight. How’s itnonamous at a gig. We’ve never been on a stage together in our lives.

This is our first time. Sebastian Maniscalco said, I’m not used to working with other people, some kind of put out of place and trying to figure out where I belong in this group. Seinfeld said, I used to work with three other very funny people. I got used to that. Seinfeld teld the audience.

The group had to figure out who was gonna go in what order. They drew numbers out of a hat. Manuscalco got one, Bergatzi two, Gaffigan three, Seinfeld four. That’s a hell of a coincidence. Gee, you think you think that was the order of Sebastian Nate?

Jim Seinfeld, Yeah, what did you think? Gaffigan said, I’ve been praying for third. Sebastian introduced Manuscalco was saying, he’s one of my favorite comedians. Come on, that’s the perfect that’s how you would sequence it. What are you gonna have Jerry go first?

And Sebastian clothes get out of here? That’s the worry. Bourbon entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan commented on accusations he’s on Ozimpic after a recent weight loss. He denied it. He said he’s on a similar medication, Munjaro.

I had to look that punch line up. That is a type two diabetes treatment to lower A one C. Jim said, I’m not playing Major League baseball. I’m just a fat guy trying not to die, trying and enjoy being thin because I know I’m gonna be fat again. This is not sustainable.

This is the drug to close out the night. Jerry did jokes about marriage, golfing, and AI and said, I like a I I like it. It can’t write this. I looked at stuff terrible. It can’t write comedy.

It’s not dumb enough. You need a certain amount of dumb for this, and you can’t teach that. That’s a gift. Oh, I accept the challenge. Here.

Let’s see, let’s go to chat. Shept wright Seinfeld style jokes about what should we go with? Chairs? Maybe Jerry’s right, here’s the best one to check him up with Chairs are like the ultimate interrogators. You sit down, Suddenly they’re asking questions why you’re sitting like that, You’re really gonna eat another slice of pizza?

Not awful? You drop that in the middle of a set and have a proper comedian tell it. Those two might have worked. I bet Jerry would have got a laugh with that pizza line. More Netflix, they announced seven new comedy specials.

They are from Michelle Buteau, Ali Wong, Bert Kreischer, Dion Cole, Fortune Fimester, Gabriel Iglesias and and Joe Coy. I don’t know if you guys know Joe Coy. Uh Filipino comedian balld. He hosted the Golden Globes. He got in a bit of trouble last year.

He told a joke about Taylor Swift that didn’t go over so well. Here, let me play the club to remind you a big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. True brutal. If everything went according to plan, col and Wong have already recorded their new specials at the festival.

Gabbes will be the ones I told you about recently, recording at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, June twelfth to fourteenth. Michelle Butttill will film her second special for Netflix at Radio City this summer. Joe Coy I’ll do it again. He was saved at the King’s Theater in Brooklyn, New York last November. No word on Fortune Feamsters taping.

The eight hundred Pound Gorilla said, Hasan Minhaj hosted one of the most impressive drop in shows they’ve ever seen at Netflix. Is a joke festival, all right, I mean that’s kind of a subset there. Seipha sounds worn up the crowd with some music. Then Hassan came out and did a quick five minutes about having Ashley Biden at one of his shows and which is it was? Hunter.

He also did material about Zillo the first drop in Tim Dlon, The Gorilla says Dylan may be a big draw, but he did have his work cutout for him when he came to this particular crowd. There are two types of comedians, ones who care deeply about winning over an audience and those who genuinely don’t care. I know which Tim is. He is the latter. His set range from a zimpic to not knowing how to fix them.

Middle least to TikTok. He did end up showing his impressive crowd work chops with a few people in the crowd. The Gorilla writes, if Dylan is the comedian that seemingly doesn’t care about winning over crowd, Bert Krascher is at the opposite end of that spectrum. Came out, took off his shirt, talked about losing weight, talked about how Hassan is his daughter’s favorite comedian, phone staff with his wife, and then visiting the Anne Frank House. Liked Tim Dylan Burke Kreischer couldn’t help but address this is not his usual audience.

Next up ZENEB Johnson with a short set that’s a tough draw. Following those two, then Nikki Glaser, who did a large chunk on depression, why she wants to stay alive and aging, and then Miss Pat Wow, What a random show. Miss Patt talked about being bored by being married and getting older. She played off the energy in the room, making it clear she wasn’t there to be heckled. She got particularly friendly with a white guy in their front row named Brad.

And then Ronny Chieng What a weird show. Chang talked about loving America and his MAGA friend. He then segued into talking about canceling, saying canceling is what it used to be. Called out Hassan and Minaj directly. Minhaj started heckling him before rising out of the crowd and joining Ronnie on stage for a heated fifteen minutes of back and forth.

They started talking about the infamous New York article where Minhaj made up some things. Minhaj achuced Ronny Chieng of leaking the story. Hassan said, who the f fact checks stand up comedy? Only Ronny Chieng would set me up. Sounds like an awesome show.

That first half was so long. I had no joke. I took a lunch break. My sugar’s crashed during that first half. I had a chopped spicier Sonoma salad.

Chopped is my favorite. It is so good. Those salads are like sixteen dollars. This one was delicious. I might have to start buying me a salad.

Dot com slash Dayly Comedy News, but that’s not a thing yet. Where who are we seriously? I just took it was yeah, half an hour. I’ll see the Sydney Comedy Festival. I’ll do it quick because we were so long today.

Oh good for me. There’s only one show on Tuesday, THECD Comedy Festival show Ocase, all right, keep moving, John Netflix before I forget Tomorrow nine am is The Two Bears five K. Tonight at seventy Sinbad tribute show. David Glecias has Late Night at the Hollywood Palladium. That’s ten thirty, Bverbiglia at seven, The Gods of Comedy with David Letterman at seven thirty.

Unclear who the guest is. He’s also doing that show the next two nights. Earthquake at seven, Joe Kim Booster two shows seven and nine forty five Done out Rawlings at seven Well Stuffed Up Now from the Spicyy Spicy or Cinema Salad, Tony Rock at seven thirty, A lot of shows from Monday, and a bunch of others I did not tell you about. The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival announced that Shane Gillis will headline August twenty fourth. Some yucky news.

British comedian Dane Baptiste allegedly posted an anti Semitic death threat about a female comic. Prominent members of the British comedy community rounded on Baptiste as he was accused of publishing a now deleted Instagram post in which he told an unidentified female comedian per Deadline, that he would sit in prison while your family sit at the cemetery. No no, no, no, not cool, dude. Per Deadline, the UK’s Community Security Trust is a charity that examines incidences of anti Jewish hate. They’ve been notified about Baptist’s message, which began a quick note to the Zionist comedian stalking my family’s page.

Baptiste wrote, I want you to sit down with your husband and kids and imagine what they’re lives. I didn’t want to repeat this because North London is a quick trip in a think tank. Will have to be an actual tank to keep you safe from me, dude. Awful awful, awful. Ask about and comedians will tell you.

I will be your literal doorstep. Your agent will keep you safe. The act is dumb, but don’t be a dumb woman, yikes. Deadline writes they do not know the identity of the comedian Baptiste was allegedly threatening. The post has been deleted, but it’s making the rounds on Twitter.

Ricky Gervaise reposted a post that highlighted Baptiste publicly threatening to kill a Jewish woman. Another comic, Marcus Briggstoke wrote, the threatened by Dean Baptiste against a woman on ig wasn’t vague and cannot be justified. It was targeted and dangerous, driven in my opinion, by anti Semitism and misogyny. I refuse to look the other way and stay silent while only Jewish friends speak up. I see a Instagram post one day ago, so it’s Friday one, eighteen pm Eastern from me Instagram’s hyming.

This is from one day ago on what I believe to be Dean’s account, and it has a check mark in the reason past. I received a number of threatening and abusive messages from accounts accusing me of anti Semitism for having propouse and in views of a new family, and my partner made me aware that some of the same people were monitoring her Instagram account and a massive error of judgment. I posted an excessive and impulsive response, hoping to suade anybody monitoring my family. I made a point to say Zionist and not Jewish, but I appreciate how disturbing threatening, and in Cindiara that language is. I would categorically state that I have no ill intention towards the Jewish community and never have.

I have a loving family of which I’m massively protective of, irected poorly and emotionally to a perceive threat with no considered thought to the consequences, and I apologize profusely for my actions to the Jewish community, my colleagues, and my fans. That is an Instagram post that’s all white text on a black background, no image. A Dean apparently had been dropped by his agencies as I record this on Friday.

Meanwhile, in Madison, Wisconstant A theater canceled show featuring Michael …

He was scheduled to play at Comedy on State on Thursday. I feel like we’ve heard about them before. Chappelle on the back of my mind Something Something. The Avenue sent out an email to ticket holders Wednesday night saying the show was canceled due to safety concerns from escalating protests and a quote contentious nature of the dialogue unquote surrounding the conflict in Gaza. Apparently, the statement reads in light of the current environment downtown marked by a reculating protests and a contentious nature of the dialogues around in current affairs, We’ve made a difficult decision to cancel the Thursday show with Michael rapperport the safety and well being of our audience, members, staff and community or our top priorities.

We believe this decision is in the best interest of all involved. Rapp Report went on Twitter and called these situation in Madison quotes very very very bleeped up.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Shonny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I didn’t get to see Kat Williams. I’ll talk about it tomorrow. I went to Cleveland for Deacon Mike.

Congratulations. Deacon Mike. Couldn’t blow off Deacon Mike’s big day. So you know, I had to pick Deacon Mike or Kat Williams. It was tough.

I mean I flipped the coin. It was first was two out of three, and then uh, three out of five, and then they did five out of seven. I was like, all right, God’s trying to tell you to be there for Deacon Mike. So I’ll watch Kat later. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Also tonight the roast of Tom Brady. I’ll talk about that one on Tuesday. I mean, you know these things are late at night. I got a pre record this podcast and go to bed. Do you guys have no idea what my sleep schedules?

Like my dog is sixteen and a half man, and I’m sleeping with her in the basement because she has to get up a couple of times, like having a new born. So I go to bed at nine thirty and I’m up at two in the morning and five in the morning, I’m exhausted, Barstool said. People don’t talk enough about how corny Seinfeld was, and I think they mean the show, not Jerry. Although, uh, do you know where I’m going to google? The word shows it out all right?

Moving on watching google that one. People kind of free pass that one. It’s really it’s not a little weird. It’s weird. We free passed the one.

I don’t know why, Barstool writes, when I look back at the show now, it almost feels like a whole showcase to showcase for Jerry Seinfeld to establish himself as a man who quotes Poul’s bitches, and Barstool wrote, Jerry’s words, not mine. There are a total of sixty six women in the graphic that they made, but according to sources in the show, Seinfeld the character dated seventy three women in the one hundred eighty episodes that averages a new woman every two point four to seven episodes. Barstool wrights he accumulated a roster of ninety styles smoke shows that would make Leo DiCaprio tip his cap a murderer’s row of beautiful women, and one stray Jennifer Kooli. They write, sorry, Jennifer, that was an unnecessary low blow. You’re very attractive in your own right.

I love doing White Lotus. The list is full of heavyheaders, but to name a few, Terry Hatcher, Christine Taylor, Kristin Davis, Kathleen mcclennan, who walked around naked in Jerry’s apartment. Don’t forget that he ended up repulsed by her because he didn’t like the way her naked body looked when opening a jar. And of course Julie Louis Dreyfus. They wrote it’s like they cast the show with Julia as Elane.

Then Jerry said, hey, let’s make sure we put in the script that he used to bang her. Courtney Cox, dead Spin Rights and a big old creepy shout outgoest whoever wrote the episode where George Costanza was caught redhanded looking at the cleavage of his boss’s high school daughter, the daughter played by Denise Richards. Barstool Rights people throw around the phrase they can never make that episode today, but I do believe a main character steering daggers at a fifteen year old side character’s cleavage and playing it off as a clumsy goof would not fly on modern day cable. Oh see, I deliberately don’t preread these things. I like terry act not to go too found down the rabbit hole of creepy Seinfeld things.

But I can’t possibly write this blog without mentioning the fact that, at the ripe age of thirty eight years old, real life Jerry Seinfeld began dating a Shoshanna Lonstein, a seventeen year old high school student. I understand it was a different time, but come on, Jerry, it was not a different time. It was not I lived through that time. At the time, we were like huh or still adds great show though. All right, while I’m causing trouble, I was doing some prep for the show and I found this wonderful clip from twenty eighteen.

This is Jim Gaffigan on the CBS Sunday Mornings. I assume doing his weekly commentary, and here Jim talks about anybody and everybody making their own alcohol with stupid names. I hate those people. I like beer. This may not surprise you by looking at me.

I am an overweight American male in my early forties. Now it’s seems every city, town and Hamlet I visit has its own beer made by locals, specialty beers, micro beers, craft beers, made by community artisans, and I can tell you without exception, they’re all bad. I’m not exaggerating. No, I don’t care how cute the beer name is that has to do with local folklore. I don’t care how beautiful the hand drawn label is of the cactus wrestling penguin.

Neil Brennan spoke to Forbes, and he was curious to this interview entitle me to four more free articles for us this month. Forbes is like, do you read publications like Forbes? I don’t know if you’ve looked it up, but top comedians make as much as the top athletes. Kevin Hart told me he’s going to be a billionaire. Neil said, does he have the dating his calendar?

Like on April six? Come to mind, I’m a billionaire party. They asked a real question, Neil, would it alienate comedy on it is if they realized how much money some performers were making. Neil said, it’s a weird thing. There’s a lot of big earners, so I don’t think people really associated with comedy.

But it really doesn’t matter how much money you have, you can still bomb and the audience is aware that. I also think charisma can make them forget. Neil wants your drink of choice. He says, it’s embarrassing I drink Corona. What’s wrong with Corona?

I love Corona? Neil, You’re a beach person, Neil says, I am kind of a beach person. Like on your birthday, you get a birthday cake and you do good and you go to the beach. I’m fair skinned and I have a skin cancer joke and my new Netflix special. But I don’t know what to do there.

I just read, I guess, Neil, do you enjoy traveling? Neil said, I do like traveling. I like walking around big cities, putting my bag down, putting on shoes and then walking for ten miles. Tokyo was a great walking city, Singapore, London, Paris. Now I’m just naming cities.

Let’s take a look at the Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival four Pan Pacific, The Greatest Roast of All Time, Tom Brady Low Tickets Warning seven Pacific, The Allei Wong Residency, Patton Oswalt also at seven. Heather McMahon also at seven, Felippia Sparza. You know, you guys can spread this out. You don’t have to have ten shows all at once, say Melissa via Signor at seven, Sidney Washington at seven. There’s a lot of shows, all right.

Then there’s some later shows to drop in with Janelle James at eight point thirty, Sarah Jordan Jensen at nine. I don’t like how this is laid out. It’s kind of all over the place. Jeneido Unaka and friends in all right, let’s see. Well, obviously we would somehow get into the roast of Tom Brady.

That’s the big shiny event.

And then I would say seven o’clock Patton just taking another look, Yeah, Pat…

I’ve played him on the Live One Show a few times. Let’s do that for the late show.

Meanwhile, Sydney is quiet tomorrow, nothing going on, So I don’t have any cl…

Want you to get your money’s worth here. Let me do one more story. Nick Offerman spoke to The Washington Post. Nick Offerman played the president in that recent Civil War movie. Washpoe wrote to his friends, it’s not a surprise so that Nick is playing the president.

In fact, for twelve years now, Conan O’Brien claims that he’s been trying to get Nick Offerman to play Theodore Roosevelt. Conan said, I think more than any actor Atlive today, and I’m not making a joke, you could play two are better than anybody. Amy Poehler says Nick shouldn’t limit himself. I think Nick has the talent and the hair to play any president he chooses. This summer, Nick Offerman will be heading to Budapest to play.

This sounds like a joke, but this is real. He’s going to play Chester A. Arthur in the Netflix series Death by Lightning, about the eighteen eighty one assassination of President James Gorefield. This from the guys who used to run Game of Thrones. One more, The Harvard Crimson wrote women are funny female comedians that you should watch.

They have a list, They wrote, Taylor Tomlinson. Taylor Thominson is the id girl of the stand up scene. Ali Wong, probably best known for her Emmy Award winning performance on Beef. Third, Tig Nataro four, Margaret Choe five, Joanne Megnally, He didn’t see that coming, right. Joanne is popular not just for her stand up but for her podcast.

My Therapist Ghosted Me six, Tiffany Hattish and that’s it. That’s the entire list. No, I don’t know, Bett Stelling, Appaucci, Leanne Morgan. No, all right, that’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. John. You never talk about Jerry Seinfeld. I know, right, it’s so much press.

Jerry was asked about his debate with Mark Marin. Narren believes in bearing his soul on stage. Jerry leaves in fidelity to the joke. Jerry said, my attitude, I think was more talking to comedians. I think comedians, if they want to survive throughout their life doing this, they have to pay close attention to the laughs.

There’s no less value in what Maren’s doing, but I would worry about how long it would last in your life. Maren’s done, Okay, But yeah, that’s a good point. We’re both right, just different. Jerry himself wants to do stand up to the very end of life. The only hard part of my life is the other things.

People do ask me about slung down and I go. The work part of my life is not stand up, it’s all the other things. Stand Up is an incredible, pure experience. Surfing is the great regret of my life that I never got good at. I did it for two weeks one time, many years ago, feeling that energy, that natural life force, energy under you and around you.

I never get tired of that. Will Jerry do another standup special? Nope. I’d love to think of something else if I ever want to do it, which I don’t right now, like comedians and cars getting coffee. The subtext of that is I’m really sick of talk shows on TV.

That’s why I did that. That was my anti talk show. So I’d want to do an anti stand up special if I did one. I envy sometimes these little Italian artisans who don’t really care if anybody knows who they are what they do, and stand up could be like that. Stand up in a way is a kind of private, lonely world.

I’m going to Daton on Friday. No one’s gonna know what happened there. I’m very attracted to that. I’m more attracted to that than Hey, everybody, I made a movie. He then compares that feeling to Seinfeld.

When it started, we thought this would be a really fun, little batique thing that’ll just get our people, this kind of quirky, offbeat thing, and that would be cool. What a became was never on our radar. Then suddenly you’re a big wave surfer. I think it was tougher on Larry David than for me, because you feel the pressure. I never minded the pressure.

Tom Papa used to open for Jerry Seinfeld. He spoke to the Columbus Underground and Tom said, I think the thing I’m most proud of is I’ve been able to stay high, positive and talk about the things that weren’t cynical and be more hopeful. But also I would be really good. You can be naive, hackey and goofy and serve that hopeful kind of thing, but I wanted to be the standard I hold other comedians too, and still not cave into being dirty, cynical and dark. Tom talked about getting into comedy and says there are virtually no gatekeepers now.

Like when I started, you had to get on The Tonight’s Show or Letterman and then ultimately HBO, and that was a very small group of people that got to do that. Now you can do whatever you want. You can have your own podcast, but stuff up on social media, you can speak directly to the audience. I think it’s been great that all these people were able to just kind of create your fan base and go out there and door and do your thing. Variety spoke to Tony Hingecliff about the Wonderful Kill Tony Podcast and we’re curious of his nuggets of inspiration for potential performers.

Tony said, it’s a very dark, lonely road. It’s the opposite of TikTok, where your content is immediately seen by a ton of people. You must be able to present it in a room and change your timing not to be taken lightly. Someone going from TikTok and expecting to be a natural stand up comedian is equivalent in my mind of someone being a good papa shot basketball player making as many any as you can in thirty seconds to being in the NBA. How many people from TikTok or Instagram reels are even making it as a stand up comedian.

People get Matt Rife confused and blocked in with those people. But my take on Matt Rife as I knew him eleven years ago opening for Ralphie May, he was a little star. I bust all my comedians friends chops when they bring him up and speak negatively about him in the green room. He did the work and he started young. He’s built for it.

Tony, do you feel your move from LA to Austin has hindered any opportunities, Tony said, it has hindered nothing. On the contrary, it’s free to know we’re focused on our stand up comedy and podcasts instead of being focused on LA or New York City cliches like auditions, pitch meetings, voiceover gigs, writing jobs, and other distractions that at best leave you with a boss, a lack of creative control, and probably wanting more money. By having our priorities be our own podcasts and doing live shows regularly, we get better at those two things. Regularly can all relate to one another and do each other’s show. So from both the projects we care about.

Boy, what great advice from Tony there. It might just be I’m at a stage in my own career where I don’t want a boss. I like doing this podcast every day. Is it the biggest podcast in the world. No, to some people think it sucks.

Probably do I care? No? Would I like to make a million dollars off it? Of course? I like money.

You like money. We all like money. I’d love to be doing this show from I don’t know Paris right now, but I’m in my basement. But creatively, boy, I’m having a ball doing this at our little podcast network project. This is great, Tony said.

Our favorite comedian’s from LA and New are coming to us. Now we only go there and we have to do big shows. People can have a career from anywhere now. Tony says, comedians should utilize anything that happens with them from more material. Real comedy fans seed through it.

They want the line, they know the line, they love the line. I push it to the limits. I did p Diddy jokes last weekend. I told Nickelodeon jokes at Baltimore Bridge reference. People say, but what if somebody’s family on the bridge sees that.

Look, it’s a different little island we’ve created. It existed in Texas, obviously a staple of free speech. But while LA and New York have virtual signaled their way into what’s right and wrong, we go forward here. The CBC spoke to Matt Hart and Ali Hassan about kill Tony. Matt explains, if you’ve never checked out killto only two hundred three hundred people put their names in a hat at a huge comedy club called The mother Ship.

That’s Rogan’s place in Austin, which is quickly becoming what Seattle was for grunge, but for comedy. If you get your name pulled, you’ve given one minute uninterrupted on stage performed stand up. Alie said of sixty seconds, it’s very, very challenging. Sometimes if you have a weird look and you can lean inside immediately, that’s a great gift. The CBC pointed out Mike ber Bigley for examples, a storyteller who takes an hour to unfold his act, not the kind of act you’d see big cover, Story and variety.

Amy Schumer can’t escape backlash, and she’s okay with that. Ready rights, Amy Schumer was in the zone. This was in March, when she was filming on the Street Brooklyn for her upcoming movie Kind of Pregnant. In one take, Schumer emerged from a subway station while answering a phone call and was interrupted by a stranger shouting in her from the sidewalk. If you Amy Schumer, you’re a Zionist, you love genocide?

Amy said, it didn’t even raise my heart rate. I didn’t cry nothing. She says of her tendency to sound off, I can’t help it. A lot of people can help it, but I’ve never been able to. But I also want to be helpful, do you know what I mean?

She weighed in on the Middle East, saying the focus is so razor sharp on Jewish people but not on Hammas. It’s very strange. I’d recommend people read a book. It’s called Israel, A Simple Guide to the most misunderstood country on Earth. As for Kind of Pregnant, Amy says, I’m striving it for to be one of the ten funniest movies of my lifetime.

I thought she was going to say her career her lifetime. Wow, I think it’s gonna be as funny as train Wreck. While she was being interviewed, a woman walked up to the table and said to Amy Schumer while the interviewer happened to be there, thank you for everything you’re doing for Israel. I follow you on social media. I used to live in Israel, and thank you.

We support you. Amy said, that moment you just saw maybe ten times a day that happens to me. The article goes on to talk about the early parts of Amy’s career. She noticed that male comedians did not get as much hate as she did. She said, people get really mad at women.

They save a special kind of vitriol for us. It’s not new. I think it’s because they fear women. That’s my guess. She’s hoping Life in Beth will get a third season from Hulu.

She says it has not been renewed yet and that life keeps going. I’m not worried about running out of stuff to say. Tonight, ten pm. Unless you’re driving back from Cleveland, get in front of your TV. You can watch Netflix.

Cat Williams Live. Oh man, I want to say, I can’t wait, but I’m gonna have to wait. I’ll watch that one on Sunday seven point thirty.

Would have to hit Cat Williams.

Wait, five o’clock Pacific? Is eight o’clock? Have I been saying ten? At some point they said this is ten? Let me clean this up here.

So the original press release says May fourth, seven pm Pacific, which is ten Eastern, which is why I’ve been saying that. But on the festival website itself it says five o’clock Pacific. Maybe it’s not actually live. I don’t know. Sit in front of Netflix for four hours tonight and see what happens.

I don’t know what to tell you. At this I think I figured it out. I think there are openers and Cat goes on at ten, all right, so we would go see Leeann Morgan, then Cat Williams don’t know if I want to see Mallani. Let’s not do Malani. Let’s do Pete Holmes.

This is really good. Let’s do Pete Holmes.

Her best friend thinks she needs uh I thing that goes you know what I’m saying, Yes you do. Her accountant thinks she needs a real job. Brody reckons it’s time to start playing the villain.

Rob Schneider has told Catholic media outlet Church Pop, Church Pop your home for comedy news that Rob is working on a script for a feature film about the Shroud of touring. What you think I was gonna say?

Yeah, Schneider told Church Pop. Hopefully this movie about the Shroud will happen, because I think it’s about faith. I think we need that and to bring more people to it.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see that the judge find Trump nine thousand dollars? Stephen Colbert said, Now, nine thousand dollars may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, but what about Trump? Kimmel says, Trump spends nine thousand dollars at the Wendy’s drive through Colbert.

The judge lamented that it was the most he could legally find him, warning if Trump keeps violating the gag order, jail may be a necessary punishment. Colbert said, I don’t know if it’s necessary for Trump, but I need it. Kimmel Malania was like, don’t let the judge tell you what to do, and then Joe Coy chimed in with this one, which doesn’t even make sense. Yeah, fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear John Mulaney is the guest on My Next Guest needs no introduction with David Letterman.

David Letterman asked John Mulaney, who’s funnier than John Mulaney. Malini said this, I knew who the funniest person was. The funniest two or three people were funnier, is it? Certainly? The mean, do you consider anybody in that group to be as good as you or better than you?

Is there somebody you think? Yeah? Really? Oh yeah, yeah, like who is better than you? I mean, well, first off, you know, when I was a writer, I was writing for Bill Hayter and Fred Armison.

Oh well, no more questions? Yeah, you know, so that was like there was no point where I ever looked at selling. I wrote for them and thought I could do this better. What will be the when you think to yourself, I’ve done enough one and a half hour specials. I’m done now touring?

Will that happen? We moved it, we had direct films. What will you do? There’s lots of other things I want to do, But you say it like it’s a crisis right now, things are going on. Letterman asked Malini if he thought of John Belushi during his recovery.

Melini said, not actively, but after that big intervention and everything blew up. I was in my room and rehab and I talked to Lauren Michael’s on the phone for like an hour one day earlier. In the call, we’re talking and he goes, I knew John Belushi for seven years. I’ve been talking about him for forty eight years. He goes there’s the shrapnel that happens when someone goes down like that.

You know, John didn’t want to die. He didn’t plan to just because it’s a story, just because it’s set in stone like history. People don’t want to die from this. John Malini will host John Malani Presents Everybody’s Live in La first episode two nights, nine to thirty pm Eastern. Additional episodes next week Monday, May sixth through the tenth.

The PR team says there will be more guests as well, but we’re tired of listing them. We’ve given you enough information already. That’s hilarious. Some of the guests announced Weezer, Los Lobos, Saint Vincent, flee Beck, Bill Haytern, Apergatsey, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, John Stewart, Gabe Iglesias, May Martin, Patton oswaldt Sarah Silverman, Anna Gatsby, Stavros Halkias, lu Andel, Ronny Chieng, Tom Sagora and alf Vira also on the show. And I’m not making this up.

Oh j Simpson, Prosecutor Marsha Clark. Hey, you know what’s out today Unfrosted. I know I never talk about Jerry Seinfeld on this podcast. I’ve barely mentioned Jerry Seinfeld this week, and I’ve barely mentioned Unfrosted. He has done a lot of press for this thing.

Jerry talked about what movies they stole from. Yeah, Oppenheimer. I think it’s a fun game if anyone wants to play how many movies we stole from? Obviously The Godfather the right stuff. At one point I was gonna say, I’ll bury you under the ground.

He lie from there will be blood, and we weren’t even gonna explain it. The character’s name wasn’t Eli Jerry. Do you like pop tarts or is it just for the joke? I did love pop tarts. I had one yesterday.

We’re doing a social media piece with Jimmy found and Meghan Trainor. He took a bite and I went, this is fantastic. What I like about is the man made quality of it. I love great objects to fit in your hand in a nice way. A pack of cigarettes is one of the greatest things you could put in your hand.

Just feels great. Dice feel great. I like a nice spoon. I like things the Boston. Harold spoke to Bourbon entrepreneur Jim gaffigin also about the Pop Tarts movie, not about Bourbon.

Jim said, I’d been in communication with Jerry during the lockdown and he had been telling me that he was working on this project. I definitely wanted to be involved, but also being friends, I was not a friend begging to be in the movie. I was hoping you would ask, and I was thrilled when he wrote this part for me. ScreenRant talked to both Jerry and Jim. They got right to it.

Jerry looks like he asked all your friends in Hollywood who said no? And Jerry said, I don’t think anybody says no. There are some people weren’t available who I try. It’s hard to get to people because everybody’s so busy. Anyway, that’s good.

It’s really busy these days, so it’s hard to get people. Jim Gaffigan and said, scheduling is not a foregone conclusion. As we learned this week, Jerry did not ask Pop Tarts for permission. Pop Tarts is leaning in on the joke now. Olly Morton is the general manager of Portable Wholesome Snacks at Kelenova.

Kelenova also makes cheese It and Pringles in case you’re curious, Ally says, Jerry’s probably our biggest fan. There’s a piece here as a brand owner about stepping into that with trust. Our goal is to help fans engage with the film and really importantly enjoy a pop tart in hand while they’re watching the film. People were worried about Conan and O’Brien. Remember he was on hot ones.

At one point he was rubbing hot sauce into his skin. Conan said, I had a bunch of friends who saw my name all over Twitter, and the first assumption is he’s dead. I did if people say, oh my god, I thought finally. Conant said he was left with incredibly runny eyes and a mouth that really hurt. He also experienced burning on his skin.

Conan said, you wash your hands right afterward. But some of the sauce got underneath my wedding ring. I took it off and I was like, ooh, there’s acid underneath it. Conan says he doesn’t usually eat spicy food, but if I think I find something funny, I’ll do it and deal with it later. Angela Kinsey felt certain jokes about her Christian faith in the office were wrong, and spoke up about them.

She was on Rain Wilson’s podcast. She cited one episode in the third season in which the character of Angela was given a line she felt was super judgy against Oscar, a gay character on the show. She talked to You producer and show runner Greg Daniels about it. Angela in real life said, yeah, actually, there were one or two times in which there’d be a joke written for her that I thought was just really stereotypical. Maybe one note.

I’d like to think of her as a full, well rounded person. I do remember I went up to Greg and I was like, I can’t. I was just like, I don’t feel good about it. I don’t feel good about that. I don’t feel it’s what Jesus represented to me.

And he was like, okay, and he heard me, and he took the joke out. The episode was gay witch hunt and it already had so many of that type of joke, and he was like, Okay, let’s do Sydney first today. As we’ve been long this week, I’m gonna save the clips for next week, so I’ll read you some shows that don’t have clips, and unlike Milburn, most of the shows don’t have clips, so make mind chum of a little easier. Laura Coleman’s show is called Soft Animal. The description the poet Mary Oliver said, you should let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

The soft animal of my body wants to go through the McDonald’s drive through on a line bike. Somebody named Tom Cashman said, one of my favorite new comics rohann Arneil show is called Top of the Food Chain, an hour of conversational jokes and stories from a man that’s worked every job known to mankind. The jokes have been run up and down the East Coast of Australia. The only crowd not to enjoy them has been middle aged people from Cronula Local Humor. And that’s okay because Rohan doesn’t like them either.

Somebody named Becky Lucas said, I’m so jealous of how funny Rohan is, but I pushed down that feeling and I wish him well. Go see his show. And that’s the only review. We are deep diving on Sydney today, all right over to Netflix. Seven thirty Bill Burr eight o’clock, John Stewart and Friends.

Ten o’clock, Chris Rock’s Table Reads seven o’clock, Ronnie Chan seven thirty, Ali Wong, Well, John, why are you jumping all over the time, because that’s the way the website’s laid out. Seven o’clock, Tom Poppa, Mark Norman at seven and nine forty five, Catherine Cohen at seven, o Gilligan nine forty five. That’s stelling at seven, Dusty Sleigh at seven, that’s where we’re going. John Marco at seven. We’ll say Slowan nine forty five and a bunch of things I did not read to you.

Okay, we’re doing Dusty Sleigh at seven, and then we need a late show. Kind of don’t have any interest in Chris Rock’s table read. I’m sure it’d be funny, but like sitting there, I don’t know it’ll feel like to me Hollywood insiders making each other laugh. And that’s just I don’t want to do that late show. Mark Norman or Moe Gilligan.

Your choice. Norman is pretty strong. I haven’t seen him in a bit. Let’s do Dusty Slay and Mark Norman. That’s a good night of comedy.

The Guardian spoke to Nish Kumar, who said it would be very cool if I were named the next James Bond. Not sure why that was brought up in the article, but it was a relevant question. Who is your comedy hero? Nisch said, I grew up idolizing a lot of stand ups Chris Rock Marie at Bamford Bridget Christie at university. Instead of doing my degree, there was a three month period where I did an intensive Richard Pryor study.

Through illegal downloading, I got all of his comedy albums and I would listen to each in chronological order, and then build up to live in concert. I would say the intense focus I devoted to Prior’s comedy came really at the expense of my degree. Best heckel There’s no such thing as a good heckle. No hecklers have brought anything useful to a gig. Occasionally, somebody will say something involuntarily and apologize for it, and the thing they say will always be one hundred times funnier than anybody who deliberately and consciously heckels.

It’s one of the greatest myths about comedy that heckling helps us all of current audience behavior. He says things have settled back down recently. I think there was that initial wave of coming back after the pandemic, and people were quite not able to regulate how drunk they were. There’s a period where we all needed to readjust it being back out in public, which makes sense given we went through a collective trauma. You know, sometimes you’d think back to like remember that, like we didn’t leave the house for a year.

That happened. Daniel Van Kirk’s new album, Rose Gold, is out today. Rose Gold is a midwesterns man’s wish that we could all stop finding ways to disagree, start high fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments about the assumptions we make about a shaved head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldn’t be treated kindly, and teaches us all how to have a fight while putting some goodness into this world. Oh and I wanted to tell you about this one.

Not really comedy, but it’s got a good laugh at the end. All right, So there’s been this Internet thing where people have been trying to find this song. Have you seen this thing? Back in twenty twenty one, a user named Carl ninety two posted a seventeen second snippet of an eighty style music track at least forty eight thousand people in a I read a dedicated to the hunt for the full song. The song is being referred to as everyone knows that people look for physical and digital archives.

Couldn’t find the song, couldn’t find the artist. Conspiracy theories claimed the song was either AI generated or some sort of viral marketing stunt. Rolling Stone got involved, The Guardian got involved. Nobody could figure out the song. Eventually, the sleuths have figured out the title of the song is Ulterior Motives, and now they have found the song.

Where’s the song from? It’s from nineteen eighty six’s movie Angels of Passion. The description of Angels of Passion Two angels were sent back to Earth to provide some sexual satisfaction to the mortal humans. It’s that kind of movie. That’s where the song is from.
