Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. This first story is cracking me up right. Pay attention. Andrew Schultz has called out Anthony Jelinek.
Why well, Cracked dot com tells us Andrew Schultz calls out Anthony Jelinek for whining about comedy. Cracked writes Schultz as a theory about comedians. If you’re primarily known for your hot takes about comedy versus your actual comedy, you’re not doing it right. So what did Schultz do? He gave a hot take about comedy.
Schultz said, none of these mfers that talk about comedy are funny. If people know you for your opinions about comedy and not your jokes, you’re probably not funny. As simple as that, you talked about Anthony Jelinek, saying now, it’s like the only time you ever seen anything about Jelinek. He’s whining about comics, said Schultz, who was whining about comics While he said that a gosh sing The co host on that program said, I’ve never heard him say a positive thing about another comic that’s not himself. Schultz said, that’s the only thing he can get attention for.
It’s got to break his heart like he used to be a big comic. People would like his jokes singing, then took a shot at David Cross, saying, Hey, we got a lot of comedy fans in this room. What’s your favorite David Cross bit? Oh? There we go.
He’s a great actor, he’s hilarious, sketches, acting, great stand up. I can’t think of a single bit. Bert Kraser was at the eighteen inning Dodgers game the other night in the middle of it. This is from a video. It’s hilarious.
A guy from CNN was doing it hits from like the isles because I guess they didn’t have rights to the game, so they were in the stadium but not showing the game. And who walks by with a beer? Bert Kraser, Let’s listen. Hey, my god, Bert, this is why you show up to a baseball game. This is why you pay money to come to a baseball game.
We’re what fifteen innings in almost six hours, and they stopped shut But I got a cold. Who’s gonna win? Dodgers eventually gonna do this? Yeah, Dodgers, baby, Dorogers. This is America now.
Krazier was decked out in Dodgers’ gear, which interests me. He’s fifty two years old from Saint Petersburg, Florida, so I can understand if he didn’t grow up a race fan because there were no Rays, and I guess he had to adopt a team. Now, a lot of people in that area would have adopted the Yankees because they had spring training down that way. But whatever, I’m a forty nine Ers fan, didn’t grow up at San Francisco, just like Joe Montana, so I won’t hate Burg Crazier Dodgers fan. Jimmy Kimmel nearly canceled again.
Why was it canceled this time? Well, people were watching Monday Night Football and there’s Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Monday Night Football starts teasing a special announcement. People like, hm, is this gonna be something about Taylor Swift? What could this be?
Scott Van Pelt told the audience coming up next a special announcement about an upcoming Monday night football game. People were very excited, and the broadcast cuts to Jimmy Kimmel, who appeared on screen promoting that his show later that evening had guest Tim Allen. Oops, wow, boy, that’s exciting. Tim Allen had your book him. On social media, somebody wrote, loll ESPN forcing commercials with Jimmy Kimmel.
Another said I was just enjoying some MNF until they decided to roll out Jimmy Kimmel bye bye. But that actually wasn’t the announcement. The announcement was Monsters Funday Football and animated Monsters, Inc. Themed alternate broadcast of the December eighth Eagles versus Charters game. But by then people already met at Tim Allen and Kimmel.
One fan asked, Tim Allen, did you lose a bet? You’re one of my favorites, But I’ve never watched Kimble in my life, and I won’t start now. Staying on that same corner, the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon scored one of its biggest audiences of the year. That’s right, Jimmy did a Sunday night episode. It followed the Packers and the Steelers.
That was a good game. Fallon’s Tonight Show began at twelve thirty one am after the local news. Now, remember we tried to ask Conan O’Brien to start at twelve oh five, and the group thing at the time was like, no, no, no, If the Tonight Show starts after midnight, it’s not the Tonight Show anymore, which makes a lot of sense. Unless you know Jimmy foun does it, then it’s cool whatever. Twelve thirty one, one thirty in the morning after a basketball double airhead or whenever the Tonight Show airs it airs?
Who cares anymore? Anyway? Don’t any of you have jobs? Don’t any of you go to sleep? Even when I’m unemployed.
I like to go to bed on Sunday night kind of early to reset my week. Sunday Night, Tonight Show or sorry, Monday morning, Tonight Show. Let’s be accurate. Twelve thirty one am Monday morning at Tonight Show drew one point eight million total viewers. That is the Tonight Show’s third highest rated broadcast of the year.
In the eighteen to forty nine demo which I’ve graduated from you youngsters, there were five hundred and seventy three thousand of you, making it the second best performance of the year in the advertiser coveted demographics and me they don’t care about. The guests were Glenn Powell, a Rod and Florence on the Machine Now. Sunday’s post football episode was up sixty six percent among total viewers compared to you Know, A regular episode, and two hundred and forty seven percent among adults eighteen to forty nine. Jimmy Fallon is a survivor, right, Nate BRIGETSI. He’s on the list.
What’s the list? John? I’ve been talking about this in the Facebook group. Hollywood just decides here’s who we’re pushing right now, and we’re pushing them. Nate’s on the list.
Nikki Glaser’s been on the list for about a year. You’re about to see a lot of Rachel Sennott. Just you’re like, who’s that? Trust me, we’ll come back in six weeks and you’ll be like, oh my god, with the Rachel Sennat will you stop? And they seem to be pushing Stavros Haukias right now.
How this works, I don’t know. I’m not part of the Stonecutters. I don’t get invited to the secret meetings. I’m just telling you someone has decided these people are the ones we’re pushing. Nateerghatzy has another gig game show host which he will be terrible at write that down.
John said, Nate Berghetzi will be terrible at hosting a game show. Let me actually remind myself to put that in tomorrow’s Comedy stock Market. His skill set’s not going to be good at that. He’s too dry. How does the show work well?
The show is Nate Berghetzi as host, with three contestants battling to prove that there are anything but average. The winner takes home the average American salary of sixty seven nine and twenty dollars, which, if you win, is a lot of money, like, hey, here’s sixty seven grand, which is like forty after taxes. But in terms of we’re making a TV show, that is nothing. They’re filming us at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. You have to be twelve plus to a ten.
If you’re under eighteen, you have to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The Municipal Auditorium said. This family friendly show is full of laugh out loud moments as contestants try to guess how everyday Americans answered outrageous questions. Tickets are completely free, but space is limited or I will keep an eye on that one. Good article in Entertainment Weekly, who said, if you forgot that Wanda Sykes hosted the Oscars in twenty twenty two, well you wouldn’t be the only one you see on the twenty twenty two Oscars.
Remember that Wanda Sykes was one of the co hosts. And Amy Schumer, who at some point right this, Remember what I was just saying about, we decide someone’s it. Remember where they decided Amy Schumer was it, and now they’ve decided Amy Schumer was not it. Remember Amy Schumer hosted the Oscars. Let’s take a pregnant pause here so you could just think about that for you know, two three seconds.
I wanted you to sit and think Amy Schumer hosted the Oscars. Are you making the same face? I am, like, what, You’re crazy? There’s no way Amy Schumer hosted. Oh no, no, no, Amy Schumer hosted the Oscars.
I know that makes no sense, but this is a thing that factually happened. Now, on that same night, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, Which is why you think Chris Rock hosted the Oscars in twenty twenty two. He did not. For some reason, Amy Schumer was up there alongside Wanda Sykes, She was asked, did Will Smith ever apologize? She said he did.
He called I had COVID or a bad cold. I just texted to say hey, I got your message. Thank you. I can’t talk, but he did call. Want has said.
I mean, I love working with Rodrina Hall and Amy Schumer, but like you said, it got overshadowed. People talk to me about that night without even mentioning, oh, yeah, you hosted right, like I was in the audience or at home watching TV. But I was there. It was National first Responder’s Day and the first responders got together in New York City and they were joined by John Stuart. The ceremony celebrated first responders from across the country, including firefighters, EMS, Provider’s eleven dispatchers, law enforcement officers, and volunteers.
John Stewart said, it’s an honor to stand side by side with the very heroes who keep us safe every day. First Responders answer chaos with courage and compassion. If lending my voice helps amplify that, I’m in. I want to thank the First Responders Children’s Foundation for giving these heroes a stage worthy of the work they do, and I’m excited to recognize their achievements. Whatever you think of John Stuart, he just try to lead from the front.
I really appreciate this man and he tries to make the world a better place. You may not share his vision, but he clearly is trying. His heart is in the right place. He’s trying to make the world a better place. He’s done great stuff with the veterans, so high five out of mean.
There’s no backhanded compliment in there. I don’t want you to come away thinking like, oh, is John like shading John Stewart. Not at all. I’m shining the sun on John Stewart. Great job, John Stewart.
Stuart was making fun of the President of the United States on Monday Night’s Daily Show and said, our current president Donald Josephine Trump, I don’t think at the Jay’s four Josephine but whatever is currently on a tour of Asia where he will be meeting with allies such as the new Japanese Prime Minister and rivals such as Xi Jinping. It’s a crucial moment with huge ramifications for the current terraf regime in this country and for the peace and security of the entire region itself. He then cut to a clip of Trump dancing awkwardly fist pumping as Trump dance with Malaysian Nationals. John Stewart said, he loves the red carpet, he loves the hats. They’re playing the theme song in Hawaii five.
Oh, none of it made any sense, But he loves the pomp and he loves the circumstance, and that’s why he loves going overseas. I have this in my notes as random comment. So I was doing some show prep and I saw Tom Poppa’s tour is called Breaking Bread two, and it’s got like a grateful dead kind of vibe to the logo of it. But it’s the Breaking Bread tour. Casuals have any idea what tompap is talking about?
Like, if you’re a tompop a fan, you know that he likes to make bread and you know about his podcast. But if you’re just like somebody who likes comedy, do you have any idea? Even if you know who Tompop is, maybe you don’t follow his podcast. Like for the casuals, does anybody have any idea what you’re talking about when you call your tour breaking Brett? I don’t know.
It just seems a little weird to me. What do I know. I’m recording a podcast in the basement. So I remember there was that whole re Odd Comedy Festival, and there were a lot of free speech warriors who were like, no, it’s really, really, really important that we go perform at the Odd Comedy Festival to bring laughter to people. You know, guys like Bill Burr and Andrew Schultz, who was mentioned earlier in this podcast.
People like that went over there. Well, I am wondering if they’re going to attend the Tel Aviv Comedy Festival. It’ll take place at Zionist House December eleventh through the thirteenth. The festival feature homegrown comedians, a special Russian language stand up night, and the Harry Potter stand Up Show for the whole family. You know, this could use a headline or too.
Bill Burr, Andrew Schultz, is he’sin? Sorry, Jessica Curson, Mark Norman, Jimmy Carr want me to keep going, guys, because you guys are clearly aligned with the Deputy Mayor of the Tel Aviv Yaffo Municipality, chen Areli. The municipality is producing the festival, and chen said stand up isn’t just entertainment, it’s a cultural genre. The bodies, freedom of thought, artistic courage, and the ability to look in the eye without filters. Bill Burr, Andrew Schultz as he’s in, Sorry, Mark Norman, Jessica Curson, Tom Sigora.
Isn’t this what you guys are about? Dave Chappelle? This is your thing? Are you going? Chen tells us The Punch Festivals, what it’s called, is part of our wider effort to strengthen the city’s cultural infrastructure and open new spaces for independent, original and bold creation.
I look forward to seeing which of you join the Punch Festival aka the Tel Aviv Comedy Festival. Or maybe the bag isn’t big enough. Huh, that’s all honest, guys. Ajar Usman, a pioneer of Muslim stand up comedy dubbed America’s Funniest Muslim by CNN, is that to release his first solo stand up project that’s called The Islamic States of America. It’ll be on his YouTube channel eight Eastern Monday, November twenty fourth.
Usman is best known for touring with Dave Chappelle, who I believe is Muslim And I don’t know how funny Usman is, but isn’t Chappelle pretty funny? Wouldn’t Dave Chappelle be America’s funnies Muslim? If we were going to give out the title, but I digress. Ajar Usman has also worked with Rami Yusef and mo Amaher on their various TV shows in the Islamic States of America. He turns his wit to themes of faith, fatherhood, politics, and repentance, all while interrogating the contradictions of modern America through a distinctly global Muslim lens.
It was shot both in Zany, Chicago on a Hollywood sound stage. It’s an experimental, forty seven minute black and white comedy, blending live performance footage with scripted vignettes. Usman told Deadline the project’s been a long time coming. I performed a one man show just before Trump became president in twenty sixteen. The world has changed drastically since then, and so have I.
I finally feel ready to share the hilarious and sometimes uncomfortable truth. There’s going to be a mass conversion to Islam and the United States. Don’t take my ward for it. Ask cards against humanity, and that is your comedy. Use for today, See you tomorrow.
