Caloroga Shark Media. Oh my goodness, raise your hand. If you had to make your font not one but two sizes bigger to even read your notes today. Sheez hi. I’m Johnny mack with your Daily Comedy News.

Ricky Gervais is being accused of bullying by fellow comedian Robin Ince from when they toured together. Robin claims Ricky Gervay’s backstage jeers took a physical toll on his health when they toured together. Robin says, I look back now and I think it’s bullying. Really it is. I’m very good at tizing to things in which you go Actually, this is really weird, but people who knew me didn’t like the way that relationship worked.

I’m not saying it was a traumatic experience, but after two weeks I came out in red lumps that my doctor said was a stress rash. The fifty five year old was on the Starting Line podcast and said Jervas’s bullying was so bad that Mackenzie Crook, also from the office, stepped in and confronted Ricky about it. I gotta download this thing. Hang on, I’m for real, taking out my phone and grabbing it face id unlock code. No, I’m not telling you my code.

Were you crazy done? There seemed to be several podcasts with the title the starting line, this one the salmon covered cover. Art Ince announced his retirement in twenty fifteen, saying that he was starting to go mad with self doubt, insomnia, and orgret over not spending enough time with his family. He remained friends with Ricky Gervais until twenty twenty two, when he wrote a blog post criticizing Ricky for making jokes about transgender people in his Netflix special. At the time, he wrote, anti transpunch a lines seemed to have become highly profitable, and it ignores the dehumanizing effect of a swath of already martialized people.

I think Ricky believes it is him just being a naughty boy. I believe it makes him a pin up and role model for the alt right.

Meanwhile, Amazon has released the first trailer for the Australian version o…

The Office Australia will be available on Prime in two hundred and forty countries starting October eighth, except the United States. You might want to get a VPN. They released a clip which I’ll share with you in a second Hannah Howard is the boss, the managing director of Sydney based packaging company Finley Cretick, trying to win over her employees with her natural charisma, girl boss vibes and visionary leadership. Sounds familiar, right, Well, well it’s the office. What do you want?

Also trapped at Finley Cradicktor Hannah the receptionist productivity manager Lizzie, which is kind of the Dwight Gareth role. Sales rep Nick, he’s the guy that mugs for the camera and greta eight episode season. You want to listen, Let’s listen. I had to trim this a bit to make it work for the pod, so let’s listen. Big announcement.

Can I have a drum roll? Plase drum roll, Lloyd, that’s our drum roll. People ask me how can I become a great boss? And the answer is having a happy staff that love you. This is a proper hhon night, ma’am.

As of today, we are all back in the office full time. What that’s not good news? We lost one of our own last week, Ryan died. We were so close. He’s always in my heart.

I was he the tall third one? Yeah, no, he was the short and Smiley one. Yeah, that’s what I meant, what actual identity is. He doesn’t feel relevant, does it. He kind of reminds me of if David Brent from the UK office worked at the Scranton branch and then we made it all Australian.

I’m definitely gonna watch this thing visually. It looks like the US version for sure. Thanks to Von for putting this Dean Cook thing as I have at my notes in front of me. Deane Cook was supposed to perform at the RPM Theater in Vancouver last weekend, but the show was canceled based on some comments in Deane Cook’s most recent Instagram post. Shows and several locales have been canceled.

People are wondering why. Some folks who said they were to attend the Portland show said they didn’t learn the show would be canceled until they were standing in front of the doors. One redditor said, I’m sure all four people will be refunded. Someone alleging to be a theater worker said they had sold under three hundred tickets for a two thousand seat venue. I find that hard to believe.

I don’t I would imagine Dane could easily fill two thousand seats like you do. Just play the garden. I hope everything’s okay with Dane. Met him once, he was cool, got him some sunshine hips. True story.

The ticketmaster page gave no reason for the cancelation, neither did Live Nation. All Right. Out today on YouTube James Adomian’s Path of Most Resistance. I got a screener for this thing, oh like two months ago. It’s one of my favorites of the year.

Please watch James Adomian’s Path of Most Resistance on YouTube. You will like it.

Also out today, Ben Kushenbaum’s Best Picture.

That’s on YouTube starting at six pm Central Time. Ellen has her special coming out on Tuesday, and she has released a trailer for it. You’ve heard me tell you many of these jokes. Now you will hear Ellen tell them. And I have clipped this down for pacing.

You’ll never guess you jumped on stage with Dion Cole on Tuesday night. You can guess for ten million years. You’re never going to guess Paul McCartney what Dion was working on new material at the Hollywood Improv. He pulls Paul McCartney up on stage. He introduces Paul as his friend to the crowd.

He tells the crowd that he and Paul smoked a little weed before the performance. Those who I’ve seen the video go, yeah, that’s probably true. Deon tells the crowd, I had a smoke and that’s why this is happening, and all you mfers didn’t give any love to me tonight. Paul said, I’ve just been enjoying you working through this material, and you’re right, some of it bombed. Deon’s new special came out on Netflix on Tuesday.

It’s called Okay, mister, I haven’t gotten too yet. Oh what did I watch? I wanted to tell you, Oh, I watched them. Have I got news for you? The Roy Wood Junior thing.

It’s okay, it’s watchable. It’s not horrible. It’s not great. It’s not funny, but it’s not horrible. It’s not great, it’s not funny, it’s not horrible.

It’s not great, it’s not funny, it’s not horrible. That’s my review. Jimmy Fallon is putting out a holiday album later this year. Justin Timberlake was his guest on The Tonight Show, and they revealed the title and teaser of their new holiday song called You’ll be There. Jimmy described it as a silly song, noting it’s kind of about a bromance.

Justin. Timberlake said, I mean it’s us. Fallon added, Yeah, it’s like I was saying, Hey, you’ll be there. You’ll be there for me this Christmas. The currently untitled album is released November.

First, I got to find out who what label this is on. Maybe get Chimmy on the show. That’d be awesome, all right. From Gossip Corner, Nikki Glaser posted on Instagram. People were saying that her dress was a little see through.

So you know, I like to keep you guys abreast of what’s happening in the comedy scene. So I had to click on this post to do more research. I did see the photo, and I will tell you it is a very nice photo. CBS hasiled a new comedy campaign, adding a chuckle to the I logo and poking some fun and it’s Tiffany Heritage. Chief Marketing Officer Mike Benson said CBS is ready to break some Tiffany glass.

People will say that CBS is old and stagy, but actually, if you look at our programming, it’s really not. I just turned fifty five, so it’s the only TV station that I’m allowed to watch, and nobody else cares about anybody under fifty five, so I have CBS on all the time. Blue Blood Season thirty nine, Bring It, Mike Benson said, I think we’ve got a lot of work to do from a brand perspective, to show that we can have a lot of fun, that we’re willing to poke fun at ourselves as much as we want people to come in and laugh at the shows. We’ve got the tagline You’re laughing at CBS. We’ll focus on returning hits, Ghosts in the Neighborhood, as well as the new Young Sheldon spinoff of George and Mandy’s First Marriage, any comedy from Damon Wayne’s and Damon Wayns Junior called Papa’s House.

As part of this new brand, CBS is introducing a smiling version of its eye logo, which it has nicknamed chuckle Boy, And you thought hilarious was hack to be fair? Chuckle is a sli nod to Chuckles, the clown from the famous episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show that in itself a half century old reference. CBS, you’re not helping yourself why not call the logo I don’t know Chester a Arthur. Chester a Arthur was the twenty first President of the United States, serving from eighteen eighty one two eighteen eighty five. Oh, it gets worse, Benson said, CBS will start referring to the term sitcom as sit down comedy to differentiate it from stand up comedy.

She thanks Mike Benson, thank you for clarifying that, And Mike Benson said, there’s a lot of stand up comedy out there, but we’re looking at this not from the point of view of what comedians do, what value we’re providing our audience almost every day. Boy, this brand just sounds super hip. You know, it’s sit down comedy and half century old reference. Mike, you get it, You totally get it. You’re totally gonna make this brand younger.

Great job, I mean, CBS just trying to get young. They’re also promoting their new Kathy Bates version of Matt Locke. Yeah that screams Generation Alpha, put down your phones, kids, and NCIS prequel called NCIS Origins, and something called the Summit. Oh, Mike Benson, good luck to you all right, This next story sucks. Scottish comedian Genie Godly revealed she’d canceled her upcoming tour, which was called why is she Still here?

I mean ongoing treatment for terminal ovarian cancer. Godly is sixty three. She was going to tour this fall. Doctors have advised her to stop working quote for the foreseeable future. Statement from Jane’s team says that it was with huge sadness that we must announce the cancelation of Janie Godley’s Autumn twenty twenty four tour.

Janey’s been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years, and the treatment has kept the disease at bay, but sadly, in the last few weeks, the cancer’s returned and there have been a few added complications. Her doctors have now advised her that she must stop working for the foreseeable future. Previously, Godley had sold ITV’s Lorraine that it was Jimmy Carr who convinced her to continue her tour despite her diagnosis. Janey said, I decided to cancel the tour and then Jimmy Carr said, is your mouth not working? And I want yeah, my mouth works, and he said we’ll get back on tour.

The high planes a comedy festival kicks off tonight. I won’t read every performer, but some names you may know. Rory Scovell, Chris Estrada, Dina hasham Ian, Carmel Caitlin Cook, j McBride is fantastic, Josh Gondleman, Joan Oharray, Adam Clayton holland you know, I’m just skimming here. Mandal He’s one of the comics you should and must know or whatever Variety’s thing is called. It’s the eleventh annual High Planes Comedy Festival, running tonight through the twenty first at multiple venues on South Broadway.

The headlining shows are at the Paramount Theater. High Planes Comedy Festivals held each fall in Denver, Colorado, and I showed by Autism and Entertainment. They partnered with The Miracle Project and The Laugh Factory to host Let It Out, a stand up comedy show for neurodivergent fans that this happened last week. Let It Out featured comedians Will Hunter, Krueger Dunn, Josh Myrowitz, Lori kil Martin, Jeremiah Watkins, and Eric Griffin. Producer Mike Rotman told Variety he wanted to create a stand up program after realizing there were no comedy shows that his neurodivergent relatives would feel completely comfortable at.

Some of the tweaks for Let It Out reduce the volume of music, allowing patrons to wear headphones during the performance. They also had a private space in the back for guests to take a break at any point they wanted. During Walkin’s set, he took time to dive into trains after a suggestion from a fan in attendance, rather than just doing his prepared material. Walkin said, I definitely want to try to cater the crowd and what they’re excited about. I love trying to connect with as many people as possible, and there shouldn’t be an exception for people who are on the spectrum.

Eric Griffin said, the language of laughter is universal. We’re all different more ways than race, gender, sexual orientation. There’s a spectrum and that is your Daily Comedy News for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

If you would like the program without commercial advertising, there’s a link of the show notes. I’ll tell you how that works. And this podcast supports podcasting two point oh.

I have so many apps on my phone are the one I like? I could just edit this, but that’s not fun castematic. But the easiest way to load up a wallet is using true Fans. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t worry about it. Listen to Adam Curry’s podcasting two point oho.

He’ll explain it to you. Curry’s got a good podcast out every Friday, all right, see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. John Oliver talked about the Emmys playing him off, and he revealed he actually felt a slight relief when the orchestra began playing him off. Oliver said, I’m not well versed in sincerity as a British person and as a comedian, so I didn’t really want to get upset, and thankfully whoever was on the board said you can’t carry this off and walk me straight into a joke. I’m very, very grateful that they gave me the parachute so I could avoid my feelings once more.

Jesse Collins is one of the producers of the Emmys and told the rap I apologize to John and his family for playing the music. We turned it off at his request and turned it back on when he said he wanted to be played off. Colin said, we didn’t know that the dog had passed. Fellow producer Janney Rousson Clay said John always gives us a fun moment. When he was going on about his dog, which was very sweet.

We’re like, hey, you gotta wrap it up, and the music starts playing and he’s like, my dog is dead. And we were like, oh my god, just mortified.

Meanwhile, they asked the producers who came up with the idea of roasting Lor…

Colin said, I believe it was Seth Meyers’s idea. Roussean Klay said yeah. He wrote that the cast out a huge hand in that you might want to volunteer for jury duty. Why that way you could be on a jury with David Letterman. Maybe Letterman was up to be possible juror in a criminal trial.

Judge P. Kevin Castell interviewed Jurer sixteen with questions, just as he did with three dozen other potential jurors to determine who’d be on a panel of twelve jurors and four aldernates. Those jurors, including Dave, had already survived a general round of questioning in which individuals are dismissed for hardship reasons like medical issues or jobs from which they can’t be spared. The trials expected to last less than two weeks. The judge asked Dave, where do you live?

Letterman said Hartford. Then Letterman realized not the time to joke it said no, it’s a joke. The judge said, nice try. You figured you’d forego Queen’s. Dave revealed his true residence area, west Chester County.

We’re told there were then three dozen or so exchanges between the judge and the lawyers. The judge and lawyers learned Dave was born in Indianapolis, obtained a degree from Ball State University in Munsey, Indiana, and has a twenty year old son in college in Massachusetts. Dave was asked what he does for a living. He said he’s currently working for a company called Netflix. The judge asked, spouse or significant other.

Letterman said, I’ve had both currently, I just have the spouse. Dave’s bold there in front of the judge, cracking wise. Dave was asked now he gets his news? He said every morning. I used to pick up the paper off the front porch.

Now I turn on the computer and it’s an aggregation of new sources from all over the United States and around the world. He was asked what he likes to watch besides any Netflix programs. Dave said, I like sports. I’m happy football’s here. I’m happy it’s this time in the baseball season.

I like motorsports. I like pretty much what most Americans watch on TV. The judge asked him if he’s a fan of the Indianapolis Colts. Dave said, big Colts fan, oh and two, but still a fan, Dave. Have you ever been called as a juror?

Ave said, been called many times, just couldn’t make it happen. The judge said, you know, this may be the charm. Dave said, it would be a pleasure. In the end, Leutterman was ejected when a prosecutor exercised what is known as a strike, which allows lawyers on either side to release a certain number of jurors from the panel for any reason at all. It was the third of four strikes used by the prosecutors.

No reason was given. Nick Swarzen is out on the toilet head tour. Great name there the eight hundred pound Gorilla caught up with Nick Swartzon, who said, that’s right, toilet heead brace yourself. A lot of people ask me why the toilet heead name? And I think of it like this.

The country’s so divided, and my comedy brings people together. I don’t get political, I don’t get crazy. It’s really absurd and fun. I just realized to bring people together. We all have toilets, and we all have heads, and I think that will bond people together when they realize, you know what, we’re all in this together.

Toilethead Nick Wartson twenty twenty eight. Nick says, my show’s really loose. I have a set act, but it’s like I have fun up there. I started improvising before stand ups. I can roll with anything.

It was funny. In Austin. I just did Joe Rogan’s which was great, phenomenal. And I remember this guy, older guy like sixty. Hey watch it.

I just turned fifty five. I’m very sensitive about calling people sixty, very old people who were sixty, you’re quite young. And I remember this guy, older guy, like sixty, and he was so hammered. And I think the thing about Heckler’s that people have to realize is I don’t care. I rarely throw people out, but the people around that person.

That’s why you have to think about when you’re screaming and yelling, the person next to you paid money too. So this guy in Austin is so belligerent and this woman started screaming at him. So I had to stop the show and be like, hey, what’s going on here, and she’s like, this effing a hole won’t shut up. He yelled at her, and I was like, dude, you got chill out. Man.

Security came over and said you gotta go, So I started kicking him out, and he said get your hands off me, and they’re like, dude, you gotta go. Man, you’re being insane. So he kind of insulted a security guard and they kind of got him in a headlock. Great description.

---

And then my favorite part is the guy screamed, Nick, help me, and I’m like, d…

You pre self in that position. And the last thing he said as he was being dragged out, I love you. The New Yorker has a big giant profile of Bo and Yang, which you can read. Most of it not about comedy, more about Bowen’s life growing up. But I like this paragraph.

The New Yorker writes the season of SNL had many thorny moments. In January, Dave Schappelle blah blah blah leaped on stage as the cast was waving good night. Yang lurked on the far and of the set, looking surly. Yang said, I was just uncomfortable on other people’s behalf. It wasn’t a big protest.

The next month, Sheen Gillis showed up as host. Social media dissected Yang’s body language. The New Yorker writes he felt like a character in a culture war pageant. Bowen said, it’s taught me about my place on the show, being kind of strange and unique. I never expected to be a Nora Dunn being furious that Andrew dice Clay is in there.

The backstory there back in nineteen ninety, Nora Dunn, cast member on SNL, left the show after Andrew de diyce Clay hosted the show. Bowen said he’s learned to distinguish between the show and what people say about the show. Hey, nice lineup for comics for Kamala. Donnie Zoldan is a former We weren’t really coworkers where we had the podcast studios. He owned the building and the comedy club on the first floor and our studios were on the second floor, so we were Yeah, I guess we were co workers.

I don’t know. I would more describe him as friend anyway. I know the guy, and he’s been putting together this comics for Kamala thing. Whatever your politics. As we approach this from a comedic standpoint, you gotta admit this is a pretty impressive lineup.

This is Sunday in West Hollywood at California. Your lineup ready, Mark Marin, Kevin Neelan, Lori Kilmartin, Danny Zucker, Mastra Bronni, Dana Gould, Cristella Alonso and Tom Arnold. Showtime seven thirty, Doors open at six thirty. If Trump throws a big comedy event, I’ll be more than happy to tell you about it. Boy, you think I could get a coffee sponsor for this show?

I mentioned coffee enough. By the way, buy me a coffee dot com slash a Daily Comedy News Chloe Feynman is teaming up with a coffee brand. She has partnered with Ninja to promote Ninja Lux Cafe, Espresso, coldbrew and drip coffee maker Ninja what are we doing? Hit me up? Chloe Feinneman will appear in social media content for Ninja that puts a caffeinated twist on popular trends.

She gave a quote between late Chaotic Knights in the Writer’s Room in many different roles, having a three to one espresso, drip coffee and coldbrew machine with a drink for every vibe is a dream. Joe Gaddo’s a special came out last night on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube and channel. It is called Messing with People. Is there going to be a Scrubs reunion? Judy Reyis says, I haven’t heard a thing about except for what you’ve heard.

There’s been lots of talking and lots of excitement. I think Bill Lawrence is incredibly busy, but definitely wide open. Raya says, I’m not as in touch with the cast. I’m very close with one of the writers, Angela Nissel, as well as the hairdresser who actually does my hair. On High Potential, her new series, Rayes said, I feel very fortunate I forged incredible friendships with people that I’ve worked with from Scrubs on down.

I guess putting shows in the workplace setting creates a space where people could be more themselves. Late Night with Seth Myers has spun off a new podcast. This is a Closer Look back Election twenty twenty four kind of lame, though. We’ll revisit old installments of the Closer Look segment from Trump’s time in office and discuss what those events will tell us about another four years with Trump in the White House. It’ll be hosted by Sal Gentilly, the head writer and producer of the A Closer Look segment.

Sounds like somebody somewhere said, hey, we can make some more money on podcast. You guys got another idea, and they handed in the laziest idea. I can possibly think of old clips with a writer doing raps, not even Seth doing the raps. Little am guys. Anyway, if you want to check out A Closer Look back Election twenty twenty four, it’s available wherever you get your podcasts, although I suggest you listen to Ballot much more fun.

Lucy Beaumont’s says she believes gender equality and comedy has regressed. By quote fifteen years she had posted on Twitter and now deleted it, Where’s all your Women? Basically you can search every city for comedy this month, I reckon about ninety percent have either no woman or one woman on the bill. Some have one woman a month back to fifteen years ago. And don’t get me started on TV panel shows, it’s become okay again.

Let’s just call most of them what they really are, male banel shows. That book a woman. In male comedy clubs that tolerate women, the banter changes, the atmosphere becomes competitive, and women don’t grow or shine or get equal employment. She says, comedy is the biggest gossip sever so everybody knows, or if you don’t know the ones I know yet, you will soon. It attracts such interesting, passionate, raw edgy, wounded people, but it also attracts predatory men who are really messed up and sexually have been repressed for years, and they get a bit of fame and displayed his behaviors.

There have been times when I’ve just wanted to go on Twitter and let people know everything we talk about, but we’re not allowed to say. That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, a te a friend about it, they might like it too. If you would like the program without commercial interruptions, there’s a link in the show notes, so that’ll tell you how to do that. You have an awesome day.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Kimmel not happy with the results of the Emmys. He tweeted, the results of the Emmys were totally unfair in the category of Late Nit Show to exclamation points, sad rigged polls, say I won by a lot. He tagged John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers on it.

I think I did when I was half asleep the other night. Get all the winners in except the winner of Outstanding Comedy Series. The nominees Abbott, Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Murders, Palm, Royal, Reservation, Dogs, what we do in the Shadows, And obviously because the Bear, which is not a comedy at won like almost every award, surely the Bear must be the Outstanding Comedy Series, right, No hacks, So let me get this right. Everybody in The Bear, which is not a comedy series, was fantastic and won Best Comedian, m E’s, Best medic Actors and all that, but overall the series is not the best. How does that work?

Loraine Newman was not happy with The Bear. She said, every time I think about the Bear being in the Comedy category for the Emmys. I can feel an ulcer developing. I agree with you. I’m also going to point out many things can be true at the same time.

Lorraine Newman’s daughter is named Hannah Einbinder, who stars in Hacks. Yeah, Hanna is one of those low key NEPO babies. You know, if she were Hannah Newman, you might be like, hey, I wonder if her mother is a famous Hollywood actress. You know, use somebody else’s name and nobody notices. Doesn’t mean you’re not tented.

I’m just saying it’s a little easier to get a better agent, and if you have a better agent, you know what’s actually going on. And there’s also a little bit of like a you know, hey, fellow radio executive friend, would mind, you know, giving my kid an internship. That kind of stuff happens. Doesn’t mean you’re not good at it. But let’s be real, a lot of Neppo babies out there right now in Hollywood.

Wow, no luck for Larry David and curb your enthusiasm. Curb if it is indeed over, and it looks like it is has ended its run as the show with the most outstanding Comedy Series nominations eleven without a win. Kerb was nominated for four Emmys this year, including Outstanding Comedy Series Loss Outstanding Lead Actor for Larry David a Loss in the End. Kerb went twelve seasons a total of fifty five Emmy nominations. They won two Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series in twenty twelve and for Directing way back in two thousand and three.

Maya Rudolph seth Meyer’s Kristen wig and Bow and Yang were the presenters for the Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. Before they gave the award to Alex Edeman, they gave the business to dear friend and mentor, Lauren Michaels, who’s been nominated for and lost the Emmy eighty five times. He’s never won. Kristen Wiggs said, Lauren, look at me. You do a value.

You are worthy, you or not, and have never been a loser, even though you lost a lot. Maya Rudolph said, each and every one of those eighty five times you lost, you were rob bow and Yang said, Lauren, it gets better. Just because SNL didn’t work doesn’t mean your next idea won’t keep dreaming. I like how he said Lauren, because anytime I run a transcript on this podcast, anytime I say Lauren, it comes up as Lauren. It often also transcribes my own name as Chenny max eh e n n Y Mac.

John Stewart won the twenty third Emmy win of his career. So was he part of this Emmy? I feel like this was the year he wasn’t on. I’m confused anyway. He’s reconsidering his future with The Daily Show and said, my feeling is this election will never end, so why would I leave?

How could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until this election. So we’re all on ground to some sort of calcified nubs. We’re looking forward to being awful. Now.

This article here says the Daily Show’s name best talk Series for the second year in a row after Trevor Noah’s final season. Last night’s award marked Stuart’s first Emmy win in over decade. But wasn’t there a full year of no John Stuart? I’m confused anyway. Stewart gave the acceptance speech, so I guess he did win.

He said, to have the opportunity to work with this incredibly talented group once a week. It really made my mondays, adding that Ronny Chieng, Michael Costa, Jordan Klepper, and Dozzi Leidek kick ass. Michael Ian Black part of Have I Got News for You on CNN. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. I’ll watch that on the DVR maybe tonight.

Black posted a note of gratitude to his sub stack a few hours before filming the first episode, thinking about the fact that it’s been literal years since I had a steady TV gig and the fact that I was ready to give up entirely when this thing fell into my lap. Most of us are just trying to figure out something about ourselves in our world. Maybe that sounds high falutin, but isn’t that the nature of all art To cast our line into the wide waters of the world and see what we catch. Isn’t that the crux of being a human? He then joked how the show we’ll probably be canceled in six to eight weeks.

Yeah, I’d love to have for the same kind of culture cachet that John Stewart did during the Bush years on The Daily Show. That’s sort of did you hear what John Stewart said, if we get at some of that, I’d be thrilled. I’m not an activist. We’ll never be an activist because I don’t have those kinds of organizational skills. I don’t have the kind of footwear where I’m going to be out here marching around holding up placards and shouting this is what democracy looks like.

It’s just not me. But I do think I can make contributions the way I make contributions, which is by saying dumpsty on Twitter or now on CNN. Colin Joe spoke about the ferry he bought with Pete David Seddon and said is absolutely the dumbest and least thought it through purchase I’ve ever made in my life. The way I justified it is for the amount of money we’re putting it in a buying it on just a basic square footage level. If he found the right place for it to be, you were essentially buying a building on its side that’s sixty five thousand square feets around New York.

That’s a very good price per square foot. Despite two years of renovations, it still looks like a Staten Island ferry. Joe said it’s possible the ferry could still end up being functional as a boat. It would just require a staff to run it. That he was not sure that’s something he wants to worry about.

He joked, I’m sure our insurance company would love it. Maybe they’d love it because it would get them out of the contract because it requires a lot of people to move it. At this point, the ferry has to be Doctor two. The engines aren’t operable, but Joe said it could be operable within weeks if they wanted it to be. He said he had soft floated the idea past his wife, Scarlett Johansson.

She was just like, wait, so you own this boat now. She obviously sees the value in it, but I also think she’s like, it’s interesting because now it’s becoming a defining thing for you guys and an interesting thing for you guys. So you should take it seriously and figure out the best version of it, because for better or worse, it’s gonna reflect on you. Joe said, we don’t care because we’re comedians. Deon Cole’s got a Netflix special tonight or today.

I don’t know what time do they post these things. They probably post them at midnight. It’s probably up now. I want you to watch it now. This one is called Okay Mister Dion Cole recalls the telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, dating deal breakers, and more.

This was filmed back in May as part of the Netflix As a Joke Festival. Jessica Kerson is getting a special on Hulu. By the way, I saw that Hulu is branding their comedy things huluius as in hilarious hilarious, as I posted on threads where I’m at Daily Comedy News. Did no comedians say to the Hulu executives, Dude, that is really hacky? Or is the money that good?

Anyway, Jessica Kerson is getting a special. The premier date is being kept under wraps as if it’s like some big secret. That to me means they’re planning on signing some other people and they don’t where they’re gonna slot Jessica yet. Like, for example, if they sign I don’t know, Dave Schappelle and Joe Rogan, maybe they’ll move Jessica’s date. That’s what that means.

In a statement, Jessica Curson said, I’m honored to be part of the Disney family and that Hulu has chosen a feature MYNX special as part of their comedy initiative. People always ask me, is it hard to be a female comedian? I always say, I don’t know. You should ask them. Hularious kicks off in November with Jim Gaffigan.

They’ve also signed up Bill Burr, Roywood Junior, Alana Glazer otsco At Coonska. They are not messing around. Kathy Griffin believes for President Trump would quote pick comedians off one by one if elected to another term. She fears a list of personal targets, including comedians. She said, He’s gonna pick us off one by one like bowling pins.

And I’m not kidding, and I’m not being paranoid. You’re being paranoid. Verd Oz will host the International Emmys, which apparently is a thing. Who knew they take place November twenty fifth. Where would you host the International Ms?

Please? New York City. I mean, I guess New York City is part of the world. I just thought that get a little more international. Who knows Viewers says, I’m so happy to be hosting the International Emmys.

It’s a massive, prestigious night to uphold makers from across the world that I believe is making the best content I know firsthand. It could be life changing. And The Holly Reporter wrote an article about Late Night and they spotlighted some numbers. Five years ago, the Late Show finished first in total viewers with three point eight one million, Jimmy Fallon had two point four to four and Kimmel two point zero four million. In twenty twenty three, slash twenty four, Late Show was down to two point six million.

Again, that first number was three point eight that’s a decline of about thirty two percent from twenty eighteen. Kim Will moved into second with one point eight two million viewers, still down eleven percent. He also had a Monday night football lead in once a week. Fallon down the third one point four three million, losing forty one percent of its audience. Wow.

At twelve thirty, seth with nine hundred and eighty three thousand viewers was down by about four hundred and seventy thousand viewers. That’s thirty two percent. Feels more like half. I guess it’s not. Somebody’s better at math than I am.

After Midnight is averaging about seven hundred and thirty thousand viewers. Over its first five months, Bryan Stettler reported in LA magazine that James Corden’s show was losing fifteen to twenty million dollars per year. Yeah, that’s why you don’t replace that. Yikes. And that’s your Daily Comedy News for today.

If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. And if you would like this thing without commercials, check the link of the show notes. So I’ll tell you how you can do that, and I’ll see you tomorrow

The winner Alex Edelman for Just for Us from HBO Max Yeah all right, and the nominees for Best Descripted Variety Series were Saturday Night Live or Just some One Another pick Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. John Oliver won Congratulations and he started to tell a story. I’ll let John tell.

It’s just one of things, gonna be very silly. Odd dog. We had the most fantastic dog and she was at our wedding and she got us through a pandemic. She was with us for the two pregnancies and perfect choice of music. We ought to say goodbye to her.

And now this part of the audio is believed. He looked into the camera and said, f you it is. I feel like Sarah mccachlan right now. Sorry to hear about your puppy there, John Oliver, all right, that’s the Emmy. He’s a section of today’s podcast.

Let me throw it over to the A week version of me for the rest. It’s really I say this. Kevin Hart has less work to do. Remember he had the vegan restaurants. Harthouse suddenly closed all four of its la locations.

Last week, Hearththouse CEO Andy Hooper gave a statement to eatter La which read, the response of the product has been incredible, and we thank our committed team, our customers, and our community partners for helping make the change we all craved and for their unwavering support of Hearththouse. He didn’t mention why it closed, though an Instagram post from Hearthouse thank guest with a HEARTFELTZ goodbye for now as we start the next chapter. Now. What’s interesting is a few days earlier Hearthouse had started promoting T shirts with the slogan change You’ll Crave. The first location of Hearthouse opened just blocks away from the always busy in and out near lax I was there recently It is always busy.

I drive the mile and a half to the slightly less busy one, also sort of your LX. Then they opened a larger Hollywood flagship complete with a drive through, in May of twenty twenty three, and then two more locations. What could you get at Harthouse back in the day when it used to exist plant based burgers, chicken sandwiches and nuggets, kale salads, and sides like fries and tots The company also tried to reinvent the labor model with higher wages and healthcare for hourly workers. That’s cool, as well as a lifestyle spending account with access to things like Netflix subscriptions and access to an interest earning savings account to which the company contributed. Not bad.

That’s according to restaurant Business Now. It’s not just Harthouse. Shake Shack recently closed five LA locations. The Army’s on Sunset hung up its famous sign back in June. Fast casual chain Veggie Grill closed a bunch of locations in twenty twenty three.

It’s unclear if Kevin Hart will bring Harthouse back. In another iteration, don’t worry. Give me forty eight hours, I’ll be telling your story. Kevin Hart has a new gig. He just announced.

It’ll happen. Meyer Rudolph got a wax job from the Hollywood Reporter. That is a former coworker. Before you know, you have a car there and your friend goes, hey, let me whax your car for you. Nice thing to do.

Well, The Hollywood Reporter wrote one of those articles. Maya says it’s a huge compliment being part of the Kamala Harrison news cycle. But it’s also very bizarre because I woke up to an article saying I was confirmed a player and I hadn’t spoken anyone. This is so much bigger than me, and this is about something very important. I’m thrilled to be associated with it, and I’m also glad that I’ve played her and everyone’s cool with that.

She likes it. The secrets are her version of Kamala Mayas says when I see her, I see her having fun. And so the fictional Comala that we created tapped into her fun.

And then SNL producer Steve Higgins said to me that his wife called her a fun…

Now, that sounds like fun, so we went from there. That was the moment when you realize, oh no, I know how to do this. By the way, today’s episode of Ballot very very funny. Check out Ballot’s podcast Wherever you get your shows. Chelsea Handler, she used to date Joe Coy and Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes one time and told joke about Taylor Swift.

You may have heard about it. Relax, not doing a bit. Chelsea will tape her next special at the Well Month Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, November twenty third. Chelsea Handler is a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Really, okay, should we look?

We should look? Oh man, there’s a lot of people in this Is there a list? So I went to the New Jersey Hall of Fame website and they had, you know, two thousand and eight inductees, two thousand and nine inductees. And I don’t feel like clicking on ten trillion things, so I asked chat Chept who is in the New Jersey Hall of Fame? Now, this being AI, the information may not be accurate, but who cares.

It’s a comedy podcast, all right? In the Hall of Fame. Bruce Springsteen. I will believe that John bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Meryl Streep, Shaquille O’Neill is in the New Jersey Hall of Fame, Yogi Berra, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Tony Morrison Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author who I’m sure is fantastic. But when the first nine names were Springsteen, bon Jovi, Whitney, Houston, Sinatra, Meryl Streep, Shack, Yogi Einstein, and Thomas Edison, Tony Moon, you are tenth.

I’m sorry, Tony Morrison. Fans send your letters to Deacon Mike in Cleveland. He handles all my correspondence. Thanks Mike for fielding those. Kathy Griffin got half a wax job from the Hollywood Reporter.

As you start to read the article, like, oh, here’s another one of those, you know, fluffy articles that the Hollywood Reporter puts out, But as you dive into it, it took a sideways turn. Kathy seems to think there’s a large conspiracy against her getting a special. She tells the Holly Reporter, it does make me feel that in Hollywood, I’m still canceled. If I can’t make a deal for a special, people tell me the same thing happened to me and Gina Carano. Please don’t like in Kathy Griffin taking a protest photo to a Holocaust DENI are.

I didn’t whip out my penis like Louis C.K. I wasn’t canceled. I was investigated by the Department of Justice for something I don’t regret. She talks about taking a jet to her shows and jokes that she’s losing money on the tour because of the jet. I know it’s spoiled, but it’s worth it.

I get to sleep with my babies. Those are some dogs, and avoid the airport where a lot of Trumpers still feel the need to come up to me and tell me how horrible I am. The Holly reporter says. We talk in the SEV heading to the tarmac about the special. In her mood, tarket see the I told you there was a twist here.

Kathy says, there’s not going to be a special. Everyone’s passed. Her manager clarifies, well, no one’s actually passed. No buyer has ever attended the show in comedy specials, which is kind of like me saying that back in the nineties, Kim Delaney never turned me down for date. Factually true, Kim Delaney has never turned me down for date.

Boy. I left Kim Delaney on NYPD Blue. Did you pick that up there? I digress. The other reporter tells us Kathy holds the record for most televised stand up comedy specials by one artist, twenty one.

All right, everybody out there, name one Kathy Griffin special. Go right, there’s twenty one of them. Kathy says, I’m dying for special. There’s so many platforms out there, and Peacock can’t be off the table just because of Andy, right. I’m assuming she means Andy Cohen in that case.

Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Casty have made an official offer quote unquote to the real Conjuring House. This the house from the Conjuring film series. In a Twitter post, Castiy tagged the official page of the Conjuring House and revealed that he and Riife are quote ready and willing to buy it if you’re keen to sell. He added that the two are willing to pay all the money o to employees and compensate for loss of goods any date we’re ready to make it happen. Rife reposted an added this was an official offer.

He was asked, why do you want to buy this house, and they both replied joined to comment however that works as if now it’s just a wonderful thought slash offer to be able to give that location, it’s staff, and it’s customers the respect they all deserve. If you enjoy what I do here, one way to support the show is you can go to buy me a coffee. Dot com Slash Daily Comedy News, So I was there this morning six forty five am, and I don’t know why they had a street sweeper machine. You know the trucks with the brushes on the front. If you live at a city, definitely know what I’m talking about.

One of those was cleaning the parking lot. Maybe not six forty five at the place you go in to get I own it’s in coffee, you know, maybe do that at four in the afternoon. Parking lot’s a little busy at six forty five. Street sweeper. What do you guys doing?

Buy me a coffee. Dot com slash a Daily Comedy News the second annual because their Funny Comedy Festival is coming back to DC September twenty seventh through the twenty ninth. Comedians Leslie Jones and Dion Cole will headline this year’s festival. And that’s quite the understatement. Because I went on the website, I was like, Oh, this is a cool festival.

Let me talk more about it. Here’s a list of comedians performing, Leslie Jones and Dion Cole. I mean, there’s a showcase. Dion’s hosting a showcase with up and comers. But I think the word festival here is a bit of a stretch, Johnny Mack, you are sarcastic today.

Alex Moffatt looked back on his time at Saturday Night Live and talked about how he got the job of Donald Trump’s middle son. He said, when I was in the process of possibly getting hired by nison Al, a friend of mine called and said, you know, you kind of look like Eric Trump. You should work up an impression. I didn’t have one insign from my screen test, so I didn’t audition it. But once I was hired the first week, I went over to mikey Day and he was like, Yeah, this is great, let’s do something.

There was a photo in real life of Eric, John Junior, and Avanka Trump. Moffett told Vulture, we wrote an update that was loosely based on that picture of the three elder Trump kids that they put out that was like millennials for Trump. It was Avank in the front and then the two boys in the back just looking like, you know, American psychotype dudes, and Eric had a look on his face that I based most of the impression on. Vulture also spoke with Langston Kerman and they were curious about a recurring bit in his special where he talks about managing his mother in law’s dating profile, and they want to know how that works, Langston said. My wife and I would spend about a day to small talking with these gentlemen.

How are you what are you up to today? Would ask all the basic getting to know you stuff to see if they were capable of basic conversation, which is all you can ask from a sixty year old man on the internet. Hey, Langston, watch out there. I’m not that far from sixty anymore. Numbers are starting to get big.

I mean even Kim Delaney’s sixty two now. Then at some point when they seem even remotely capable, we would screenshot a conversation as well as their profile and send it along to the mother in law with their phone number and be like, called Joseph today at this time, as you’ve agreed to in this email, and then she would call and should report back on whether or not she enjoyed the conversation. And you bet your bottom dollar she never did. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They may like it too. If you would like the show without commercials, there’s a link in the show notes tell you how to do that. If you’re on an Apple podcast, there’s a banner that pops up. You can click on that four ninety nine a month. You’ve got this one and a bunch of other shows on the network ad free see tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media Helloom. Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Today, Another look at Vultures twenty twenty four comedians you should know and will know. I did part one last Sunday in the September eighth episode, so I’ll pick up where I left off last time. If you’re just diving in. Every year, Vulture puts out a list of comedians you should know, and they tended bad about I’ll roughly call it fifty percent on these, so it’s a pretty good list regardless.

It’s a good way to uncover some names that you might not know. I had shared the list in the Facebook group, oh, probably two weeks ago at this point Daily Comedy News podcast group, and some of the more active members in the group commented that they didn’t recognize most of the names. I got to say, I think I recognized when I first went through this, maybe six or seven or so. So this is a great job by a Vulture. Let’s start with youngb Mayor.

She’s got a memoir coming out called I’m Laughing because I’m Crying. She describes her appeal as that effect and I’m a failure in fing nuts and also constantly bring it up. Walt says she’s a whirling dervish of off the cough neuroses, our latable queen on TikTok, and a blunt and brash storyteller on the page. She’s a master at taking would be cliches, for example, a front facing comedy video on which she adopts a Korean accent to imitate a Korean uncle, for example, and elevating them into intergenerational character studies through sheer specificity. When Korean uncle takes long cigarette drags while staring at the distance, he’s not just getting a nicotine fix.

He’s remembering the IMF crisis. Then Wiltra has Dropouts Breakouts Vick Michaelis, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Raka Shankar. They were all streaming on something called Dropout, which spun out of college humor. Walter tells us Brendan Lee Mulligan, the most recognizable of the streamers stars, has become a phenomenon in the online tabletop gaming community thanks to the popularity of his show Dimension twenty, in which he plays tabletop role playing games with a rotating series of guest players as the show’s energetic coast and game master. He builds whimsical wars for participants to play in and breeds life into them with an array of silly voices.

Vic mchaelis known for their chaotic appearances on Game Changer, the premise of which changes every episode, hence its name. Vic serves as the host of Very Important People, a talk show in which Michaela’s interviews comedians who were transformed into characters by makeup artists. And Raka Shankar made the jump from being a sketchwriter and performed at college humor to utility player dropout. She’s competed on Game Changer, created the Chef’s Table parody Gods of Food, and hosted these shows a celebrity slumber party and erotic clubhouse. Kathy Peruso is part of the clown community in Los Angeles.

Clowning is a comedy subgenre and which performers commit to over the top character work marked by borish physicality and purposely exaggerated stupidity. Courtney Peruso got her start at The Groundlings, and then it felt creatively lost when she left that behind. The twenty twelve until La Clown. Natalie Palamedes, who’s amazing and listen to Natalie’s episode on JN marco Seres’s podcast, Very Very Funny Highly recommended. Natalie introduced Courtney to the art of clowning in twenty sixteen.

Brusso spends years developing clown shows, flushing out the character she plays in the worlds they inhabit to probe deeper questions. We are deep here? Is anybody still doing stand up? Chloe Radcliffe. Vultra says one of the lines Chloe Radcliffe often uses during a set that wasn’t a dig at comedians, It’s really hard for me to explain like a theater show as opposed to just telling you a couple one liners from a stand up Chloe Radcliffe.

One of the lines Chloe uses during sets is a fast jab design explain and then quickly dispense with the fact that she’s a birthmark on her face. Chloe says, for those that don’t know it’s a birthmark, that’s what it is. Doesn’t lower myself esteem enough for me to have sex with you. She says it in a different way someone might express that sentiment. Vulture says, it’s a natural way to do the Yes, I’m aware of what I look like joke that most comedians need to do in some form or another.

Radcliffe says her comedy style developed out of her nerdy high school and college career as a speech and debate competitor. She talks about the insecurities and miscommunications that drive her relationships, about her own flaws as a partner, and about how hard it is for straight women to have satisfying sex lives. In one set, she realizes a group of guys in the front rail were Swedish, and she goes into a digression about a Swedish guy she once dated who didn’t take his condom off for an hour and a half. She finds herself chanting in her mind reduce, reuse, recycle. Veronica Slowakowska is on TikTok.

She leaped frogs from one idea of the next. She’ll improvise a song about friends, or invented intense, too committed, fantastical excuse for why her roommate can’t use the bathroom after her. She has some comedy shorts in which she plays a version of herself with no sense of social awareness, a randomly incredible singing voice, and a deep and abiding crush on her roommate. Kyle, played by her podcast co host Kyle Chase. She elevates cringe comedy to high art.

Next up, fans of Daily Comedy News podcast Know This Guy, John Marco SIRESI check out the September seventh interview where I did just about an hour with John Marco. His TikTok has seven hundred thousand followers. Bulcher says he has posters, disease, and the best possible sense. He’s constant developing new material and he’s relentless about getting it out in the world. He’s got a joke about mister Beast and says it’s kind of pathetic filming strangers to build up your YouTube.

Following then his moment drops in a moment of self awareness. The crowd laughs because they get it. Next up on Vulture’s list of comedians you should Know Emil Jakim, Vulture writes some comedians to talk about politics with a sense of gravitas. The humor has an edge of anger. The point of the joke is to clarifying justice.

Emil Woakim’s comedy’s often political and is often about injustice, but his political focus has an unusually gleeful tone to it. A bro pleasure that often lends on a note of happiness or at least a sense of excitement that he’s gotten away with something fun. Vulture then shared a naughty joke about Greta Tuneberg. I don’t even know a way to clean up this particular joke, but like I said, I share the article in the Facebook group Daily Comedies podcast group. Eagle Wit is a trickster.

He creates tension in his jokes by slithering around the different, often contradictory sides of an argument, and he’s a gift for living in pockets of uncertainty. Being infuriated when one of his white friends called Bob Dylan the greatest lyricist of all time, and he says until he actually listened to a Dylan song posing to the audience, you ever lose an argument so hard he become a fan. He then reads some Bob Dylan lyrics to the audience and says, isn’t that beautiful?

And then says, yeah, that’s Jay z f Bob Dylan.

He has a joke about Kanye being president, to the joke being he’s the black president white America deserves. That sets up a story about a time a Heckler believed he was making that argument for real. He told the Heckler, it’s a joke. I’d never vote for Kanye West. He’s my favorite rapper.

I trust him with beats, not the button. I have a question for you, dear listener. You ever been recording her podcast and you’re just scrolling down a list of comedians and you go to the next one and you find out on the fly you had reached the end of the list without reading it. Has that ever happened to you? That happened to somebody recently and they didn’t know what else to do other than to say, that’s your comedy news for today, C Tomorrow.

Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, John Bernhal for non comedy series The Bear. I mean you mentioned giving John Bernthal a Comedy Emmy for what he did in The Bear, Matthew Broderick for Murders, Ryan Gosling SNL, Christopher Lloyd Hacks, Bob Odenkirk in The Bear. I have no strong feelings there either. Let’s give it a Christopher Lloyd. Why not?

Oh?

And also Will Poulter for The Bear.

Sorry, I put a break in my little list there where a Breake didn’t go. But The Bear not a comedy series. Sorry. Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, Olivia Coleman The Bear, Jimmie Lee The Bear, Caitlyn Olsen for Hacks, Divine Joy Randolph for Murders my Rudolph, and Kristin Wigg both for SNL appearances. Let’s give it to Kaitlyn Olsen because they’ll probably never reward her for It’s always Sonny and I have in fact checked that maybe she’s won ten Emmys for Sonny.

I don’t know, but let’s give it a Kaitlyn Olsen best talk series, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmellive Seth and Colebert. I would give it to Kimmel. Roy Wood Juniors CNN show Have I Got News for You? Makes its debut tonight. I’m rooting for your Roy, but boy tough time slot again.

The way the show works, two teams of comedians, new makers, actors, and media personalities use news clips and headlines to drum up jokes and gags, all improv style through a round of different segments. Amber Ruffin hosts one team, Michael ian Black the other. Roy Wood Junior says the desires to get newsmakers, even polarizing ones, to take part. Roy says, in America, we’re not always the biggest fans of the bad person being given the microphone. But above all, this is about laughing and what have we got to say?

And if we can get those two things to connect every week, then I think we’ll have a product that’s going to be on the air for a very long time. Roy, this thing’s going to be on the air for ten weeks. It is not again, I’m not saying it’s not good. I’m saying they scheduled it on Saturday night. Ten weeks.

Write it down, sorry. Buddy. Roy says this was the type of scenario I was hoping for when he didn’t get the Daily Show. If there was a good opportunity for me, I believed it would happen in an election year, not after. And that’s what’s gonna happen with the show.

Ten weeks takes you just too about the election. I’m telling you, sorry, Buddy. Michael Ian Black says the show’s format offers a late night vibe with fast paced topical humor, even though it’s airing in prime time on set Saturday night. He highlights how the panelists don’t know the topics beforehand, which means they have to react on the spot. His first reaction to the show being on CNN, he said bizarre.

He was intrigued by CNN’s desire to branch out. He says, we want people from all walks of life as long as we can make fun of them. Colin jos and Michael Jay did their live special on Peacock Thursday evening. Boy, did you feel the buzz? The earth practically shook from everybody talking about this thing.

Man, Wow, Peacock, what an impact this thing made. John, you’re sarcastic today. Joe said, tonight’s gonna be like group sex. If it goes well, then we can do it again every couple months with our friends. And if it goes really bad, it’s a disaster.

We’ll never talk about it again. And either way we’re gonna film it. Good joke. We’re on Peacock. You guys know Peacock, right.

You know Peacock from the phrase I can’t believe the NFL made as a download Peacock. Michael Jay said, what the f is wrong with you? Man? The checks didn’t clear. This is the experience that we have to when we go to drop to places.

We want to give that to the country. Does Peacock play all over the country? Jost? We wanted it to be the second funniest line I’ve event this week after the debate. Nothing sounds more presidential than screaming they’re eating the cats and the dogs.

I think that was Thomas Jefferson. The Special, which you know everybody watched. Everybody’s buzzing about it. Oh peacock, man, give it up. The Special saw a previously unannounced lineup of comics take the stage one by one.

They included Alex English, a Eita Rodriguez, Amina Amani, and Carlos Miller. Good closer Mike Birbigley, who grabbed the mic and forced Jost into a Q and A for Biglia said I recently texted Colin and asked him to be on my podcast working it out? Do you remember what you wrote back? Pause? Nothing?

Salvolcano made an appearance, so did Sarah Sherman, who said about Joe’s this place is close to my apartment. Looks like you didn’t respect the restraining order. Stephen Colbert with a good joke, and to see an ND poll taking immediately after the debate, sixty three percent said Harris won. Thirty seven percent said Trump one, which of course means that thirty seven percent of Americans don’t own TVs. Jimmy Fallon, following his rough debate, Trump’s inner circles now doing damage control.

I’m sorry you work for Donald Trump? What are you not doing damage control? Hank Azaria took to Twitter as Chief Wigham, Let’s listen. Spring Fair Police Chief clans Wigham speaking, I’m gonna have you people are eating dogs? What do I mean a hot dog.

Oh cats, mister Katz is eating hot dog. Nah. People are eating dogs and cats. People are eating dogs and cats in Springfan? Are they good?

Some sag After members, including romy Yousef, are among the hundreds of union members calling on their organization’s leadership to keep people from being blacklisted for their views on Palestine. Friend of the Show Scott Beckett sent me an article from the Wall Street Journal. Norm Dwormann, who owns the Comedy Seller, says, I curate laughter. Nothing should be off limits, but there’s obviously a very very very high degree of difficulty for certain matters. The topic at a hand here.

Gaza Noom says, the Israel Palestine war, maybe more than any issue in my lifetime, has been really something that people have not found a way to really joke about and totally get away with. In June, he had to refund a large party check because a comedian made an offhand joke about the war. Nothing anybody would think was offensive, but people are so sensitive on the subject they complained and I gave them their money back. He says. Most comedians are staying away from it.

The few that have tried are not really succeeding. One comedian who is an exception to that. Andrew Schultz. No Onman said, I saw him in Masson Square Garden do cemetery about kaza and he was destroying. He was fantastic, but of course that was his crowd.

His audience is very diverse who enjoy politically and correct humor, so they weren’t offended. An example of one of his jokes, which of course Andrew Schultz would tell better than me. I saw people protesting the Israel Palestine war was wild. All these white Australians out there, shout and give them back their land. Noeman told a story about comedy being therapeutic.

He was speaking with Nick Apollo. Noem tells Nick, I don’t if my father’s going to make it much longer. Nick Nick said, oh no, who gets the lexus? Noa said, my father’s dying and he’s joking about who’s going to get the car, and everybody starts laughing. In a situation where everybody unders and each other, nobody suspects the worst about where somebody’s coming from, then you talk about anything and be okay.

The best comedians, like all the great composers, will break rules. Dave Chappelle’s name came up, and what’s gonna be in Dave Chapelle’s obituary. Johnny Max says one host of The Chappelle Show two controversial comedian trans something something, Well, they talked about that, and Torman says the transhumor controversy doesn’t seem en have to to Dave Chappelle’s career in any way whatsoever. When he comes down and performs at the Seller, nobody complaints, and why would they. There’s a wonderful culture at a comedy club where you can talk about anything.

And I don’t mean on stage. I’m actually talking among the comedians, and that’s why many of them say, I don’t want to hang out with anybody but comedians. Joda Rosa is taping a special tonight at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The Columbus Underground caught up with Mike Camplan. They were talking about the Edinburgh Fringe.

Mike said Edinburgh was like putting the show through boot camp, like really working out in one place the whole time, but there were a variety of completely different audiences. There’d be some Americans, but it usually be majority non American, often English speaking, but not always English as a first language audience members over there, they don’t have the same TV show references. Necessarily, they get American TV and movies, and our culture pervades the worlds. I had one joke about family feud, but in Britain it’s called family Fortune, and they don’t have Jeopardye. The only people wh knew what I was saying about had seen the movie White Men Can’t Jump.

It’s a different part of the world. But additionally, there are thousands of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest. I think I went to about sixty shows that weren’t mine, and I did my show every night, plus a few other spots around town here and there. Those sixty included other comedians, storytellers, dance magic, a couple of amazing clown performers. The clown seed in Edinburgh and Europe is massively large, something that certainly doesn’t exist in our culture in the same way.

It’s a beautiful art form that’s different from stand up and from communists. Dot read your home for communist news see what I did there? They wrote about the Fringe under the headline no laughing matter, Thoughts from a Communist comedian. The communist comedian rights the commodification of comedy shifts its purpose from generating laughter through providing a unique perspective on life, to generating profit. It becomes diluted by the need to appeal to mass audiences.

As promoters, mainstream comedians are pressured to conform to market friendly content, avoiding material which may alienate promoters. In Britain, the comedy scene has become increasingly commercialized, with a focus on corporate sponsorships and high profile TV deals. It offers a sanitized version of comedy, one that avoids critiquing any element of CAPITALI society too Sharply, after all, the only comedians are willing to echo the opinion of the British establishment have any chance of making it. The contemporary comedy scene is also a majority of gig economy performers work under conditions of harsh financial instability and job instability, particularly for working class comedians at the start of the career, as most comedians will go at least six months before receiving even five pounds per performance. This makes the industry inaccessible for working class acts who don’t have a cushion of money to fall back on.

Sadly, the Edinburgh fringe festival, despite being celebrated for its diversity, continues to starkily reveal these economic disparities, participation costs including accommodation, venue, higher fringe registration, and promotional materials racking up into the thousands. Furthermore, the many times offered to new or non mainstream acts tend to be either in the middle of the day or middle of the night. You know, I’m not sure I disagree with the communist comedian. On the other hand, we do live in a capitalist society and in all formats play the hits. So if I can put I don’t know, Nate Bergatzi at eight o’clock and some obscure comedian doing something a little avant garde.

Yeah, that’s not getting the eight o’clock room. I don’t have a solution for you. I’m not going to advocate that we turn this into the communist comedy society, but I do think Communist comedian did make some points. And that’s your comedy news for today tomorrow, part two of vulturest Comedians You should and Must Know or whatever it’s called. I can’t even remember.

See that

Caloroga Shark Media. It appears to be Friday in the thirteenth, which is neither here nor there. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Tommy Tiernan was on Bill Burr’s podcast and explained the Irish people became natural comedians because we had no choice. That’s why we’re like that.

It’s not like we had to choose between being masters of the world and singers. We had no choice. We had no money. We’re good at talking. We love music and drinking and singing and crying and fighting amongst each other.

Bill Burr said, you get what life is about. Teternian explained, when you have no money, when you got nothing, what do you do? Burr said, over here, you got a gun and start robbing people. Tiernean said, in the old days, the Irish would concoct a drink made of rain and tears and old potatoes. There was nothing to do except drink it and see what happens.

And then somebody’d make a fiddle out of an old cat and it’d start making music. And that was our culture for eight hundred years. We were so downtrodden and our only refuge was the spoken word. Music and drink, and to this day, Irish people aren’t great at architecture or any of the obvious hallmarks of an empire.

Meanwhile, Kathleen Madigan, we’ll hit the road for the Day Drinking Tour.

We are reinforcing all the Irish stereotypes today. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack by the way, Irish American. It’ll be her thirty fifth year as a touring comic. It’s the Day Drinking Tour. It kicks off January seventeenth in Omaha, twenty nine dates.

Interesting note from ball Star here, Madigan has regularly performed at two hundred and fifty dates a year. Highlights from twenty twenty four submitted to ball Star include a seventy eight thousand dollars grouse against nineteen hundred and thirty nine tickets at Clow’s Memorial Hall on the campus of Indianapolis a Butler University More sixteenth. So if somebody wants to crunch the numbers there here, let me be lazy. Nineteen hundreds like two thousand and seventy eight thousand dollars is like eighty thousand, so forty dollars a ticket something like that eighty grand two hundred fifty days a year two hundred grand minus expenses. Are you w in the math right there?

So eighty thousand dollars two hundred and fifty times would be twenty million dollars minus expenses and I rounded up there. But sounds like Kathleen’s doing okay. Kathleen Madigan often tours with Lewis Black. He’s wrapping it up after thirty five years. He says, I want to get back to writing.

I do a rant cast. I want to do more of that live. He was doing one hundred and fifty shows a year, but says he will misperforming. Yeah, well, because it’s something really nice about showing up at a city where you know, maybe two people and a thousand show up really excited that you’re there. It really is something the energy you get from them.

The l eight Times writes, though Matt Riif’s dream has been too entertained at the highest level, Raife says he’s used to being a target for backlash, and it’s no coincidence that two of his favorite comedians are Dave Schabelle and Ricky Gervais, two of the most popular and criticized comedians. Raife says it’s lots of juggle. In the beginning, you mostly only hear the positive, and then a very select people go, oh, this person’s very well loved and respected, and I myself might lack that love and respect in my own personal life, so therefore I don’t want this person to have it. So then comes in influx of negativity. You then have to really appreciate the good because the bad’s gonna come with it.

Guaranteed, nobody is universally loved. I used to avidly respond back to people nobody could be meaner than me if I really want to be. But you can’t do that because it’s whether or not you feel like you’ve won that interaction or you had the better roast. What this stroller hater said doesn’t matter. You gave them exactly what they want, and all they want is intention.

Raif talked about his grandpa passed away in twenty twenty two and said he never got to see me have any of this. He’s the reason I have any of this. I’ve been so happy to be so distracted and keep busy and keep my mind off that kind of stuff. But through therapy and this book, which has been a massive form of therapy, It’s forced me to take time and reflect on all the things that got me to this point right now. His book is called Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me.

It will be out in December. Raife says, that’s a new anxiety, by the way, because that’s the hardest thing. How many viral sensations are there at a year thirty. Anybody can have a high year, a hot moment of their career. So many musicians, actors, comedians have them quite often hard parts maintaining Joe Rivers daughter Melissa has announced two upcoming shows.

On November seventh, eight list comedians will gather at the Apollo Theater in New York for a living tribute to Joe Rivers, benefiting God’s Love We Deliver. That’s part of the New York Comedy Festival.

Also between October twenty seventh November twenty fourth, fans can catch th…

The play will follow the life of the edgy comic from getting her start at a small Greenwich village nightclub to being a regular act on the Tonight show I Wonder Who’s playing Joan. Joan says of mom, she was shy She hated social situations, but she covered that up by being funny. What’s interesting is a lot of performers are very shy. One of her biggest fears was being in social situations outside of her friend group, because she was always concerned she was going to disappoint someone that they were expecting her to be Joan Rivers rather than Joan Rosenberg. Up until the day she died, she answered the phone Rosenberg residents.

Kathy Griffin spoke to EW dot com about her upcoming show and said, you don’t want to know what I’d do to sell tickets. I don’t want to use the term have sex with a donkey. Whatever it takes. My hustle game’s never been stronger. She will joke about her PTSD, which includes twelve hour panic attacks and NonStop vomiting and dry heaving.

Kathy says, I’m gonna make it funny. I make fun of my remedies. I have a whole team of people trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. She uses affirmation saying I’ll go look at Mirren say like you’re gonna be okay today, Kathy. It’s me.

Kathy’s talking to you. Kathy You’re gonna be okay. If anybody ever walked in there and’d have me committed on another fifty one to fifty psych hold I have to min after me making fun of celebrities being on fifty one to fifty psych holds. I’m a little bit excited that I’m now in the company of Brittany and Kanye. Six time Grammy nominated Catholic comedian Jim Gaffigan will host the twenty twenty four Al Smith Dinner on October seventeenth.

I love the phrasing. Six time Grammy nominated. I meane it Max. It sound like he’s oasis. I mean yeah, but no.

The Al Smith Dinner is an annual event organized by the Archdiocese of New York. You know who else is going to be there? Deacon Mike. Now, Deacon Mike’s not going? Are you going?

Deacon Mike? Maybe he is. He knows everybody these days. Well, who is going to be there? Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris both noted Catholics?

Why are they there? What is happening at this thing? Jim mcgaffigan posted a copy of an invitation on Twitter that Liz Trump and Harris Is the guests, Jim Hilarious as always, joked that he was unfamiliar with the names of the two candidates. In his caption, he said, I’m so honored to be m seeing this year’s Al Smith Memorial Dinner on October seventeenth. Too bad, I don’t recognize those two names.

In the middle of the invitation, anyone ever heard of them? Hilarious Jim Colin Jose to Michael Chay went by Howard Stern because apparently it’s nineteen eighty eight, and Howard asked them if they have a plan to leave SNL. Joe said, we definitely don’t have a game plan. We never had a game plan every year. It’s sort of like you just reveal you’re seeing if you still like it.

Stern was curious if they’ve had a discussion, you know, if you go, I go. Chase said, we’ve had that discussion at different times. Stern said, Michael seems like a guy whoever year wants to leave, but he sticks around. Chase said, yeah, but it’s not a matter if I want to leave because I want to leave. It’s like I want to leave because I always feel like I miss stand up and all this stuff.

It’s always that. Sterne asked Jay if you do the news by himself? If Joe departed and Chase said no, same question to Jost. Joe said no, Chase said, in a heart beat, he wood he’s lying through his teeth, and then Joe said, I’ll do three years. Joe Coy, who once hosted the Golden Globes, by the way, made a joke about Taylor Swift.

I don’t know if you had heard about it. New materials literally the job, he says, always, hands down, the surprise element is the best. It’s so important to not do what you did on TV if your audience is coming out because they sell you on Netflix. They pay all this money to see you live, and then I just do my Netflix special live. It’s like they’re not coming back.

What is this an unplugged version. It’s not like music. Music you can do that. You can write a hit song played for the rest of your life and people keep paying to hear it. It’s a different vibe.

Comedy can’t do that. The most important part is to punch. If you know the end of the book, why are you gonna watch the movie? Can’t kill doing an old bit for new material. He says, I have the most maduskull idea of where I want to go, but as far as when I’m on stage, I love to improvise.

I love to be in that moment. Sometimes the audience will create something off an idea for me and it turns into this thing. Unconsciously, it starts to write itself when it hits and lands the way I know it’s supposed to land, and I know it’s not just a joke for this particular group of people. And by the way, I mean locally, like they’ll only get it here in dallatreet Houston. I want them to be able to get the Omaha joke in Hawaii.

If I can hit that moment genuinely, then I’ll keep it. I do know vaguely where I want to go, but unconsciously it develops on its own. John Earley has an album out today, them dot Us I wrote a lot about John Early, and they say in previous iterations of his comedy, John Early felt like he had to decide between being confident or self deprecating, between singing songs and telling jokes, or between collaboration and going solo. With his latest special Now More than Ever, which is the basis of the comedy album of the same name, which comes out today. John early decided he could do all the above.

He says, to finally blend music in comedy was groundbreaking privately, because I was suddenly like, oh, there’s a motion and there’s musicality in my stand up. There’s a yearning aching quality to my stand up that I have only let out in the music. John Earle, what comedy albums inspired you? He said, I listened to all of Maria Bamford’s comedy albums quite a bit. My family used to listen to Andy Griffith’s comedy album.

In my twenties, I used to listen to Sandra Bernhard’s live album that was certainly influential. He was asked about his band The Lemon Square Is being part of the album. John really said it really started when I first started doing stand up. You do like little ten minute sets or ten minute open mics, and after I’d been doing it for a couple of years, I want to do a bigger solo show. But I want to offer something more than just stand up, which maybe belies that I don’t think my stand up is enough to offer.

I really wanted to put on a show, and it felt exciting to do. Sincere covers like he does serious music songs, I’ve never had the impulse to write songs or comedy songs. I wanted my live shows to feel a little more groovy. Do you feel the John Early on stage persona changes between telling jokes and singing, He said, I feel like it’s more fluid. At the time, I was making a special, something finally integrated.

For the ten years prior working with the band doing live shows, there was something disjointed about it. Then COVID happened. I didn’t really perform for a while. I forgot how much I loved doing it. When we came back for the special and started rehearsing, I realized the sincerity of the music was pulling the comedy in a more direct, generous direction.

It was nice. It all started to blend into something more unified. John Early now more than ever video version on Imax. The album of the same name out today from my Denim Records. A slash of thirty tigers, And that is your comedy news for today.

If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too, And I’ll see you here tomorrow,

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack, you with your Daily Comedy News. Mike Capell said, I think Trump should drop out and be replaced by Biden. Jimmy Kimmel said, usually when Donald Trump gets a spanking from a woman, it’s with a Forbes magazine. Kimmel added, Here’s what I’d like you to do right now.

I want you to imagine we’ve never heard of Donald Trump before, and the first time you’ve ever seen him was during the debate. What would you reaction be. You’d be shocked. The Republican Party would have to close their headquarters and turn it into a spirit Halloween store. Jimmy Fallon added, Harris was on the right, Trump was on the left, and Biden was at home wondering where do I know these guys from falling again?

Just like the previous debate, there was no audience. Yep, they were speaking to a totally silent, empty room. Whereas JD Vance calls that a rally. I’m honest with you guys, right, So sometimes I come down to prep the show and there’s it takes me like two hours to put together. There’s so much news, and it’s been like that for most of September.

Today, I got nothing. I’m being honest here. I don’t like today’s script. I really had to dumpster dive just to put the show together. The first two stories are real, the rest is extreme, a filler with me googling every comedian’s name I could possibly think of.

And even these first two stories really should be like at the back end of the first half, not the lead anyway. Will Ferrell says he’s no longer interested in performing in drag for laughs. He did an interview on the New York Times Interview podcast. He was joined by his friend and former SNL head writer Harper Steel. Steele came out as transgender thirty years into her friendship with Will Ferrell.

That’s the subject of a documentary Will and Harper out on Netflix, so you’ll see a lot of press from Will coming up. Will express regret over the Janet Reno Fantasies sketch from season twenty three of SNL, in that Will Ferrell dressed in drag. He said, that’s something I wouldn’t choose to do now. Steele at it that kind of bums me out. I understand the laugh is a drag laugh, and it’s hey it’s a guy of dress and that’s funny.

It’s absolutely not funny. It’s absolutely a way that we should be able to live in the world. However, with performers and actors, I do like a sense of play. Steele continued, It’s an interesting question to me. Do queer people like the birdcage?

Do they not? Robin Williams, at least as far as we know, was not a gay man, and yet he spent about half his comedy career doing a swishy gay guy on camera. Do people think that’s funny or is it hurtful. I’ve heard from gay men and think it was funny, and I’ve heard from gay men and think it was hurtful. I’m a purple haired woke but I wonder if sometimes we take away the joy of playing when we take away some of the range that performers, especially comedy performers, can do.

Will tell The Times there’s a fair amount of sketches from his SNL tenure where he laments the choice and then joked, I mean, in a way to cash, you’re kind of giving the assignment. So I’m gonna blame the writers or my new Steele was the head writer, and Steele says, yeah, he’s not coupable at all. Steele ads, I wrote Monica Lewinsky’s stuff I wasn’t proud of. I wrote some good Britney Spears stuff and some stuff that I’m not as proud of. I wrote some Clinton things I wasn’t proud of.

I’m just moving on, I have to. Will said he had zero knowledge about the trans community before Harper came out to him. Will said, I had met trans people, but I didn’t have anyone personally in my life, so this was all new territory to me, which is why I think this film is so exciting for us to put out in the world. It’s a chance for all of us on the CISC community to be able to ask questions and also just to listen and be there as a friend to discuss this journey. Will and Harper on Netflix September twenty seventh.

From Golf Digest year home for comedy News, Andrew Santino is part of a fancy schmancy text chain. Who’s on it? Charlie Day, Rob Mceleenniy, Michael Pania, and Scott Kahn. Why those guys, They’re all golfers at the same La Area club. Santino said, well, Mac joined somewhere else, so we don’t see him anymore.

He’s better than us, and then joked and said, now we still see him sometimes. A Santino plays to a three handicap and had a career best score of sixty nine despite not taking lessons. Santino says, I’ll play anytime I can. I’m an addict. It’s an addiction.

It’s disgusting, it’s sick, it’s twisted. Pete Davidson’s friends are worried about him going back into the limeline after his most recent stay in rehab, and insider tells Okay Magazine Pete checked into a psychiatric facility to focus on his sobriety following his split from Mantelin Kline. The source said Pete took the break up very hard for just a blank vana. He may have thought she was the one. They burned so brightly together, and it’s so much in common.

The insider opinion pet should move in with his mom and not look back. Life on the Hollywood Fast Line continues to chew him up and spin him out, and it’s not healthy for someone with Pete’s problems. The source noted. The Limelight’s not good for pet and he often felt used, especially by Kim Kardashian. According to the Insider, those are not people who care deeply for him and want to see him at his best.

Where’s Kim when all this stuff goes down? Nowhere? But what do you expect from Hollywood?

All right, let’s start dumpster diving, he’d put together in a complete podca…

Whitney Cummings shared on Instagram that she walked into a Texas BUCkies and met fuzzy mascot Bucky himself. In a post, she said, look there is I mean, it’s definitely like someone that’s tight on CASHO hast to wear this costume, but I’m still starstruck. This is like my Disneyland. Now. My san Antonio did some research here.

The photo said that she was in Austin, but there is no BUCkies in Austin. They suspect she may have been in Bastrop, the closest BUCkies to Austin. I googled other words Jim Brewer, and I found this from c L Tampa and the question do you prefer playing the bigger venues like the Stress Center or are you like smaller clubs. Jim picked the bigger arenas because they’re paying to see you and they’re not drunk wasted vikings. Quite frankly, I put up better shows because in the clubs I usually got to do like four or five shows in a weekend.

I’m conserving my energy, and by the third show, it’s not that I’m not into it, but I start getting pretty exhausted. So I was like, oh good, I could pick apart this article.

---

And then I saw the next question was, hey, Jim, you live in New Jersey and Ji…

And then I checked the interview was from twenty thirteen. Thanks Google. Not sure why that surfaced all of a sudden, but hey, we’re dumpster diving today and Local News eight spoke to Jeff Foxworthy, and Jeff told a story. People always say, where do you come up with that stuff? There’s no research going on.

It’s my family and friends. So I’ll tell you one real quick. I had last weekend. I’m in the pool with my three year old grandson. He swims over, he goes Grandpa.

I got a pepe and I said, well, let me tell you something, buddy, don’t tell anyone, buddy. Everybody beat in the pool. They don’t talk about it, they don’t admit it. But everybody peed in the pool. And he said really, And I said yeah, And you let go of my neck.

He swam to the side, climbed out of the pool, dropped his bathing suit, and standing on the side piece into the pool. And so I wrote a redneck joke. If you ever peed in the pool without being in the pool, you might be a redneck. Tim Mention says, I’m just lucky. For every one of me, there are in ninety nine people just as talented who didn’t find the right audience or the right expression of their talent.

And there’s a bunch of people who worked harder than me who haven’t got what I got. I think part of my luck is I’m not great at taking advice. I just didn’t really listen very much. Tim has quit Twitter and said before I got off Twitter, which I did many years ago, I looked back recently and I’m like, what the F did I think I was achieving just by putting my woody opinions into the world. It’s just another piece of anxiety.

He has a new book. It’s called You don’t have to dream. Advice for the incrementally ambitious. It’s a collection of three commencement speeches he’s made in the past. One of his speeches has five point three million views on YouTube.

Him said he had no idea was going to be recorded, let alone how well it would do. He says that’s a pretty good argument for not knowing too much. Mentionin says, I’m not a person who thinks much about the market. When I make a musical or show, I’m not thinking what do they want. I don’t get caught up and receive wisdom about what audiences will or will not take.

I go what would I be proud of? What would I love if I were the audience. My work isn’t very condescending. Sometimes it’s winky, sometimes it’s pretentious, and sometimes it might not be very good. But I don’t say, oh, little audience, I’ll spoon feed you what you want.

I care deeply about how people receive my work. I just don’t get caught up in the idea that I can second guess that if I put my heart and soul into something and really care about it and believe in it, then it usually works out all right. At which point someone says you’re talentless and then I crumble. But it doesn’t affect me next time because I’ve just done a how else to do it? I have no instinct and try to chase someone else’s definition.

It’s just not in my brain, all right. Tim Mention’s nine life lessons, one of them is you don’t have to have a dream encouraging people to be micro ambitious, he says it speaks to his worldview. I can only speak to what worked for me. It does relate to my lack of ability to go. I’m going to try and make an Oscar winning thing.

I know what wins. I’m going to reverse engineer some art based on my knowledge of what usually ends up getting an Oscar gross. How do you make good art backwards? It has to come from story and instinct, and I feel the same. You can’t make a good life backwards.

You can’t make a good career backwards. If you’re a tennis player, when you go I want to be a number one tennis player, there’s actually a really simple thing to do, which is get up at five o’clock every morning and play tennis. But most of life doesn’t work like that. If you want to be a star and say one day I’m going to be a Hollywood star. You’re just not going to be a Hollywood star.

It’s a crappy way to think about it, because you’re going to feel like you let yourself down. You should just think, I really want to be good at my school play, playing the Third Conquis Door or whatever, like I’m going to nail Third Conquis the Door. I think there’s a lot of mythology around the idea that what you should do is set your sights on the top of the mountain and not rest until you get there. But maybe there’s mountain passes that you would have missed. You don’t have to have a dream.

Advice for the incrementally ambitious. A book by Tim mentioned Peards said about the way he speaks, statistically, this is the sexiest accent in the world. At any given moment, more women are having sex with this accent than any other accent in the world. In your face, France, statistics don’t lie. Our accent wins.

Before the debate. The other night, I put on a here’ Shas special on Netflix. It just didn’t grab me at all. I usually like that type of show. I like British comedy a lot, but just not one thing was registering.

My brain didn’t last long. Remember, they’re making that follow up to the Office that really has nothing to do with the Office. They’ve added three cast members. They are Melvin Gregg, at Chelsea Frye and Ramona Young. They joined Dom Hall Gleeson and Sabrina im Packageatry in the ensemble.

The World is set in the quote same world as The Office and will also be a mockumentary. The show’s description reads, the documentary crew that immortalized under Mifflin’s granted 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. Creator Greg Daniel says the show’s not a reboot, and Steady compared it to the way The Mandalorian fits into the Star Wars universe. There are no confirmed dates for production or release. Will be on NBC, will it be on Peacock or we’re getting eight episodes, twenty four episodes?

Nobody knows nothing. That’s your comedy news for today, See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenni Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Nate Berghatzy will host a holiday special for CBS Put That in Your back Pocket. It’s produced by Lorne Michaels. The press release tells us the show will shine a spotlight on the heart and spirit of Nashville during the holiday season, including family fun and feel good moments that resonate with audiences of all ages.

Nate said, I’m extremely excited to be creating the special as I’ve long been a big fan of variety and we don’t see enough of it. I want to make a great show for families to gather around and watch together, and I couldn’t be in better hands than with this team. No title yet, no date yet other than December. My Hemming and Hawing don’t all Lorne Michaels projects go to NBC slash Peacock. This one going to CBS slash Paramount Plus in SNL’s fiftieth season.

That’s odd. Adam Sailor announced on Monday that Happy Gilmour two is in production. Exciting Netflix posted on Twitter. Happy Gilmore two is officially in production. Sandler went on Instagram and said, it ain’t over the way I see it.

We’ve only just begun. Adam Sandlor also dropped by the Manning cast during Monday Night Football when my San Francisco forty nine Ers completely manhandled the New York Jets Aaron Rodgers through a pass intended for wide receiver Garrett Wilson was tipped in the air and intercepted by forty nine Ers linebacker Demetrius Flanagan fowls. Adam Sandlor said, maybe you should get rid of me. I don’t want to be here. I’m going that was terrible.

This is a mistake. Jimmy Fallon was mid monologue and then suddenly said, wait, I can’t do that joke. That news is almost three months old. Then out walks Colin Jost and Michael Jay. Joe said, seems old to you, Jimmy, but we’ve been away all summer.

There’s so much news that we haven’t been able to joke about. So we were wondering would it be okay if we told some of those jokes from the summer right now? Fallon agreed, as if Fallon’s going to go no, I’m hosting the tonight show. I can’t believe you just walked on and thought we were going to do a surprise segment. That’s not how the show works.

Fallon said. In July, Donald Trump chose Ohio Senator eighty vance As as a running mate, to which Cha tagged, well, I guess he can’t dodge every bullet. Fallon said, I saw that Kendrick Lamar hosted a massive June Teeth concert in La Cha joked, which is weird because I thought it was Drake who liked the teenths. You either know what that means or not. Most of Colin Joe’s lines had the implication they were written by Chase to sabotage him.

Fallon said. This summer, Louisiana became the first date to mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom. Joe said, wow, every public school classroom. My only question is what’s public school? Fallon an Indiana court ruled that at Taco’s a sandwich, Jost a Taco’s a sandwich, that’s it.

Build the wall.

Speaking of Colin Jost, his ferry did get into use.

Tommy Hilfielger Welcome Guessing Board. The m V. John F. Kennedy, The decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. They did a little fashion show Sunday night.

Ali Wang was named one of Times one hundred most Influential People in both twenty twenty and twenty twenty three. Ricky Gervais is in a fight with his neighbors over plans to build a noisy tennis court. I don’t know if he’s planning to build a noisy tennis court, but that’s what the neighbors are saying.

Ricky wants to rip up his back garden and put down a new permeable sports surface for the occasional game of tennis. He also has plans to demolish a basketball court, waterwall, per goda and some retaining walls. Neighbors are complaining about noise and las privacy, and you know, the trees being tarn down in a designated conservation area. Neighbors fear the court could also be used for five a side football and lead to flooding. I don’t know.

Is Ricky Dravas having people over for some five on five soccer games. I struggle to imagine it, but what do I know. In a letter to the local council, one neighbor wrote, it will not only be the ball or balls being hit or bounced before serving that will be noisy. If practicing a machine firing balls over the net is even more noisy. The players will make noise when speaking or shouting to each other.

From time to time, there’ll be spectators watching shouting and cheering. There’s no fencing around the court, so they’ll be a danger of being hit by a ball boy. I don’t know who to side with here. Like if my neighbors were tearing down the woods and putting in a tennis court, I’d be like, all right, that’s a little bit much. But on the other hand, I don’t think i’d be worried.

Like I’m sitting by my pool and a tennis ball is gonna hit me. I’m not too worried about that.

Also, if the neighbors started having five on five soccer games in the yard, …

Ricky Gervais, planning agent, said, this new law is no enclosure or lighting, and it’s been designated to be visually an acoustically screened from the neighbors. Officials at Barnett’s Council will make a decision later this month. Today is a September eleventh. I am a New Yorker. I was in the city on that particular day, so it does not a day I can ignore.

Back in twenty twenty one, Vulture wrote about how comedians handled the environment after twenty twenty one. Very good article. If you want to go back and read it. They spoke to Bob Sagett at the time, who said, about two or three weeks right after nine eleven, I went to New York because I had a press tour for a TV show that was premiering October fifth. I think I went up at the comedy seller and talked about it a bit sarcastically and backhandedly, plugging a sitcom and how meaningless everything felt, especially show business, and yet I felt it was part of my job to make people laugh when I could, as soon as it felt like they wanted it and needed it.

I had not one joke about nine to eleven. When I did stand up, was to distract with my silly jokes, and if they were reverent, it was only in the way of talking about things that were unrelated to that event. In my PG nineteen style of comedy, There’ll never be anything for one about nine eleven. I’ve never done a joke about it. The mere mention of it does for me what it does for most people.

It makes us hurt as deeply as possible, for those I perished, and for all those who lost their loved ones. Patton Oswalt said, I was on stage less than a week later. Blaine Kapitch woke me up with the scariest phone call I’ve ever received. It was eight o’clock in the morning on the West Coast, and there’s Blaine’s voice in my ear. After I answered, saying turn on the TV.

Man, I asked what channel. He said, doesn’t matter, and then he hung up. The walk from my bedroom to the TV in the living room was eighteen nightmares and as many steps click on the TV, and I’m living in a different world. I was on stage at the Largo the next Monday, the seventeenth. I’d had six days to be variably hopeful and stupid, angry, paranoid, and then terrified.

So I hit the stage that Monday. I was the least president I’d ever been as a comedian, as a person. So was everyone else. No one didn’t talk about it on that show. I think Sarah Silverman and Kevin Sickia went up.

I can’t remember anyone else, and I can’t remember too much of what I said, except at one point out of nowhere, I just blurted, I keep seeing people say the hijackers are all religion and violence than they are, but we’re the bloated late SEVENTI Zeppelin and Emerson Lake and Palmer of Relige violence. Those guys are the ramones. They’ll carry their own amps while we’re arguing for bigger fog machines something like that. There’s a lot of fear and self righteousness, and I knew right as I was saying it that the comedy was gonna suck for a while. Monster Brownie said either the following Saturday, maybe two saturdays after, I’d been hired to do a private event at someone’s house in Irvine, California.

Irvine is pretty notoriously red steady, and they called this guy and I said, hey, I don’t know if it’s a good idea if I’d come to do my show. How can you be funny now? And with my background, I feel like I’m coming to the dragon’s layer. And the guy was like, Noah, you should come. People need to laugh and be good for everybody and listen if it makes you feel any better.

My wife’s actually Turkish, so she’s from that part of the world as well, and that helped me feel a little more. Okay, I flipped my act so it didn’t lead with me being Iranian. At one point I said, oh, by the way, I’m Iranian and then said something along the lines of like, yeah, I know, I’m disappointed too, meaning hey, I didn’t have any to do with it. I felt like I had a tiptoe of that portion of my act because of my fear of having some sort of retribution. The difficult part of the show was not that it was necessarily that there were a bunch of racists there standing at me.

Was the show being at a fancy home in Irvine outside by a pool, which is not the best for a comedy acoustics. I remember I bought an American flag and put it at the back of my car. I don’t know if it was out of fear of having somebody shoot me or if it was out of patriotism. I was probably aut of both. I was pulling into the parking lot of the comedy store and there was this comedian, Marilyn Martinez.

She was laughing at me in a funny way. She was like, oh my god, look at master Brownie. He’s got his flag. Just try and blend in. And I go, hell, yeah, Marylyn, I’m blending in.

I’m not your comedy needs for today.

Full Transcript

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Big presidential debates tonight. Stephen Colbert said, to figure out who gets which podium and which one goes first or last, they flipped a coin. Trump won the coin to us, Thank god, otherwise would have to listen to months of coin denial.

Jimmy Fallon said, ABC will later the Trump Harris debate, while Fox News will just reair the one with Biden. We’ll be covering that on the Ballots podcast wherever you get your shows.

Speaking of late night shows, NBC snuck this one in I think late Friday after…

We’ll only do four new nights. The show will be on five nights a week starting this week. Jimmy Fallon will have new shows Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Fridays will be a rerun. At first, I was like, oh my god, they’re cutting back late night, and then I remember growing up, Johnny Carson Monday Night was a guest host often Jay Leno, Gary Shanling.

Tuesday was a Carson rerun and then three new shows a week was only on four days a week. Kim Ol only does four new ones, Colbert only does four new ones. So calm down, Johnny Mack. Now NBC is spinning this. A factor in the move is Fallon’s consuning commitments outside the Tonight Show, which includes Tonight Mayor’s a new Haunted Maze Experience.

No no, no, no no. You just realized there’s no reason to put on a new show Friday night. Nobody’s watching, and your budget cutting stop late night. It reminds us. When Letterman moved to CBS, he expanded to five original episodes to match the Tonight Show that would have been the Jay Leno Tonight Show.

Later in his run, Letterman began taping his Friday shows on Mondays, doing two shows on that night. I feel you, Dave, I know somebody who’s about to record a podcast for this weekend. I understand, but original shows did air every weeknight. The Tonight Show’s gone through periods of adjustment. When Steve Allen originated the show, Who was a ninety minute national broadcast five days a week, and plus he did an additional fifteen minutes for New York’s NBC affiliate.

In nineteen eighty, Carson got it down to sixty minutes, four nights a week excluding Monday. NBC made a new show featuring a guest host. Later, three nights a week, Jay Leno brought it back to five. Conan hosted this night show for five minutes. He kept it at five.

Fallon has done five shows a week except during the summer since he took over in twenty fourteen. Jimmy Kimmel was at the Creative Orts Emmys and told reporters, as a group, we have a little text chain of all the late night talk show hosts. All of us sent our congratulations to Jimmy Fallon for getting Friday off. All right, big news. John Mulaney will star in a Broadway comedy about love and marriage.

This got the New York Times treatment. It is called All In Comedy About Love, a new play by Simon Rich and includes a celebrity cast taking on the roles of pirates, dogs, and other zany characters. Mulaney said his new Broadway play is a weird fantasy camp of things I always wanted to do with my very good friends. All In Comedy About Love is staged at Vignette about relationships, marriage and heartbreak. The production will run for ten weeks performance beginning December eleventh, and official opening nights has not yet been announced.

By the way, if you’re hoping John Mulaney’s to do a late night talk show anytime soon, I guess not. Mulaney, Richard Kine, and Fred Armison are set to be in the show through January twelfth. M’laney said, there’s something so exciting about doing something this funny around the holidays. Altogether, it’s an enormously gratifying thing. Hey, remember Colin Jose and Pete Davidson bought a Staten Island ferry.

Well. Page six says that it might be part of New York Fashion Week, which is almost over as I record this. I don’t think anything’s happened with this thing yet. But page six saw the Staten Island ferry being pulled out by tugboats. The rumors it will host a big time fashion show.

We’ll see. Jay Farrow, caught up with the Winnipeg at Free Press, talked about doing impressions. He said he started when he was six years old, trying to impress a playground crush by imitating Gilbert Godfrey. That’s how you pick up the chicks. You do a Gilbert impression that has never failed for me.

The chicks love that, he says, that’s how it actually happened. If there’s ever a biopic done, that scene will be prominent. I’ll be on top of the jungle gym and we’ll be sitting there talking to each other, and then it cuts to twenty years later and I’m on stage. I would have never thought that kid would have ended up on sn L. Being on SNL, you’re forced to become quick because you have to audition for your job every week, and then you have to have a different show every week.

So you always have to make sure that if your finger on the pulse, and you always have to stay sharp. But you’ll just fade. What does he want to do next? He wants to break into the DC universe. He says, I love the grittiness of the DCU.

It’s my dream job to be John Stewart. No, not that John Stewart, the John Stewart that is the Green Lantern in DC comics. Jay says, I know it’s going to happen, but even if it didn’t, and my life will be lived at a short period of time. I would still be happy about all the accomplishments, so fear in the legacy for another little kid who feels like it’s impossible to get out of his surroundings to accomplish things. The Texas Standard took to Sheng Wang, one of my favorites, and they were like, were U s.

Berkeley getting a business degree? What happened? Shang said, that’s correct. I was a young kid in college. I was definitely not exposed to stand up.

The part of the entertainment culture was not something I knew much about as a kid. We didn’t have cable TV or anything like that. We didn’t watch much. But basically I was in college, I was scared to commit to any kind of creative pursuits because it just didn’t seem like something was possible for a young Asian kid. And I ended up getting a business degree, but just for fun, I dabbled in some extracurriculars that involve some poetry or some photography in comedy, and I love doing all those and comedy somehow became the easier one to follow through On who are your idols?

He says, one of the biggest was Mitch Hedberg. All right, and he was about everyday stuff. But I’m also a big fan of many other comics like Dave Shechabelle and Bill Hicks, Patton Oswalt, and Maria Bamford, who’s just kind of like trying to figure things out at open mics. I mean, everybody starts to do comedy at open mics, but you keep doing it and you find your style in the areas that you feel most comfortable in. It’s all just kind of taking a look around.

You run yourself around your environment and noticing things and trying to capture magic in the every day, in the mundane. So I guess it’s just something I was naturally drawn to, just trying to create, trying to find a joke, and the easiest thing for me to do is just look around my life and look at my own personal experience. If you enjoy what I do here, one thing you can do is you can go to buy me a coffee. Dot com a slash Daily Comedy News. You get there are some money in the tip jar.

Jill’s No Fool And Jill said, when we first created the Dunklet, we knew we had something special on our hands, but including coffee, milk and unfamiliar concept the most was a challenge.
