Caloroga Shark Media. The reminder normal episodes all the way through and including Thanksgiving. I’ve got plenty Hey, awesome news, Sarah Sherman. We’ve got a date for her upcoming special. It will be on HBO.
It is called Sarah Squirm Live Plus in the Flesh. It will be on HBO Friday, December twelfth at nine East and West. Now, that’s interesting to me that it’s a Friday one. In the past, the big specials went on Saturday and other specials went on Friday. Not sure why she doesn’t get the Saturday spot.
Doesn’t really matter. In Live Plus in the Flesh, Sarah Sherman rips off the straight jacket after four seasons counting on snl unleashing a festering and hilarious hour of bodily fluids, open wound confessionals and jokes that will leave scares on your soul. There is a trailer, but I just can’t play it. It’s either a lot of music, a lot of faces, or a lot of naughtiness. Ol Hammond reacted to the President of the United States praising Darryl Hammond on social media.
Darryl Hammond told e W that was tough. No, no, no, he wasn’t upset that the President liked his impression. He was saying it was tough. When Alec Baldwin took over as Donald Trump on SNL, Daryl said he didn’t like the transition at the time. I know Lauren Michaels is a tough guy, but he’s not cruel.
Darryl told the EW that at the time he accepted Lauren’s creative business decision to end Daryl’s run as Trump on the show. Hammond explains, I don’t think he would have done that unless he felt like he had to. At the time, social media was emerging, YouTube was happening. There was a need to go viral every week. He made that creative decision.
Had it paid off? No, I didn’t like it, but it’s the NFL man Saturday Night Live. For all this frivolity and hilarity. It’s not the March of Dimes. It’s a business.
But every effort was made to explain things to me that it wasn’t done haphazardly or cruelly. Darryl exited the show in twenty nineteen. He took over as the announcer in twenty fourteen. There were times in the past when you thought you were listening to Don Pardo and it was actually Daryl Hammond doing an impression of Pardo. I think Fallon did it a couple of times too, as Don Parter.
As Don Parter got older and sometimes missed a show. I’m not sure if they’ve publicly admitted to that, but that’s the thing. Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Show were one of you late night guys. Let me know if I have my fax right on that, John, why don’t you google it? Because that’s not fun?
Michael texts me, Hi, Mike anyway. E w asked Daryl Hammond about a twenty eighteen social media message from Trump in which the president called for Hammond to be reinstated as the Trump Guy because he’s funnier and far greater talent than Alec Baldwin. Daryl said, I think if a president tweets about you and suddenly Vladimir Putin knows your name, you’ve stepped in history somewhere. My mouth was on the floor. I couldn’t believe that.
The first thing I thought was now the Kremlin’s going, who’s this guy looking me up? That’s a long way from the Little League fields I grew up on. I graduated college with a two to one, and there were five presidents calling me by my first name when I was on SNL. Feel like it did pretty good. Apparently Dick Cheney liked Daryl Hammond’s impersonation so much that he once invited Daryl Hammond to perform at a Republican retreat as Bill Clinton.
Hammond says Cheney had a sense of humor. I still remember his pounding on the table when I said this joke as Bill Clinton. I hadn’t done Clinton in a while, but the joke was. Boy, that Dick Cheney, with his hard condition and that electronic pacemaker. Every time he sneezes the garage door opens.
I remember him pounding on the table and I thought, wow, he’s generous with his time. Kathleen Madigan quietly dropped a special last week Amazon Prime keeping these things quiet. If you go on Prime Video, you’ll find a special. It’s called The Family Thread, and it stars Kathleen Madigan. We’re told she’s laid back, smart, unfiltered, and brutally funny.
That’s a very good description of Kathleen. I know her in real life, hung out, with her several times. Definitely laid back, definitely smart, definitely unfiltered, definitely brutally funny as she takes on everything from chaotic family text in Midwest quirks to aging parents, savage cats, and the fine art of having zero pride. The La Times, which has a great comedy section, caught up with Kathleen. They thought the family threat is so great because it really makes you think of yourself and our own families, all while you’re pretty much roasting yours.
Madigan said, thank you. I’m conscious of the fact that trying to include everyone, but I could do hours on my parents and just never stopped. It’s endless, and anybody forty and up is gonna end up dealing with some version of just crazy old people. Once my sister goes, I don’t remember our great aunts and uncle’s being as crazy as mom and dad can be. And I was like, because they died of whatever.
The first thing was Dad should have been dead two heart attacks ago.
And then we’re in stroke land.
My mom had lung cancer and she’s fine. It’s good, we’re buying them time, but how much time are we buying and is their quality left? It’s like this will all my friends at this age too, to mention here and there, stroked out over there. Even for my younger siblings were forty nine because my parents had them late. Of course, back then thirty seven was late to have a kid, And now people are really pushing it la times.
Well, now if you’re thirty five and over, they call it a geriatric pregnancy. Mattigan said, that’s hilarious. I know a bunch of friends of mine who got pregnant and they don’t have to do that special testing because they were over thirty eight. They didn’t care about that. With my mom, nobody cared what she was smoking or drinking either.
So there’s that. My old family’s always been the type where everything’s kind of a joke. At the end of the day. Grandpa used to say, one hundred years from now, will anyone know the difference? Not a bad way, but in a light spirited way, like this life is kind of nonsense, so have fun, live it up.
Chelsea Handler will host the Critics Choice Awards. The awards will be announced Friday, December fifth, the award show Sunday, January fourth. By the way, the Critics Choice Awards has added four new categories this Year Best Variety Series, Stunt Design, Casting, Ensemble and Sound. Chelsea Handler said, kicking off the year with the Critics’ Choice Awards feels right. Nothing says new beginnings like a room full of critics ready to tell you how you did last year.
We’ll we’ve been to watch these things live on television on E and USA from seven to ten pm on Sunday, January fourth. You know she used to date Joe Coy. Joe Coy, I don’t know if you remember he hosted the Golden Globes once until this horrible, horrible, mean joke about Salor Swift. Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.
I love that bit. It never gets old. Joe Coy, why are you mentioning of John other than the fourth to bit? Well, no, no, there’s actual news. I’m not that horrible.
Joe Coy is taping a new special. He’s recording at Friday, January sixteenth, and the next day, which is did you figure it out? That’s right, Saturday, January seventeenth. He’s taping at Stockton’s Adventist Health Arena. Organizers say it will be a Netflix special.
Get an early jump on my twenty twenty sixth list. Patton Oswalt was on the Last Laugh podcast. They asked, Patten, do you think satsire like South Park or the late night shows is effective in changing people’s perceptions of the Trump administration or people in power? Patton, who’s getting as serious as Harry Conobolo lately, he said, that’s hard to say, only because the only effective satsire right now is satire that’s as insane as the time we’re living in. We are living such hallucinatory times.
In order to capture it, you need to create something that feels less hallucinatory, and thus it doesn’t quite land on you the way it should, because it’s so crazy you can almost discount it a little bit. Send your letters to Patton Oswalt, who said, you also have to remember when people say that Trump followers and Maggot people are lost, they’re not lost. This is the only time in their lives they’ve ever felt found and seen and understood, and people will hang on to that until the bitter end. They will never ever let go of that, even if you show them on a chart, how this guy’s robbing you. They’re like, he was nice to me, and no one has ever been nice to me, no one’s ever accepted my horribleness.
I’ve found people that are like me and I’ve never had this and I’m never letting this go. They’ll die with him if they have to. That’s why the Democrats drive me up at wall with this whole reaching across the aisle thing. Yes, he should try to reach across and work with them, but you also need technowledge. There are some people on both sides, and I think way more on their side that are just permanently unreachable.
And by the way, that’s another thing that makes this country great, that you can have a chunk of people that are unreachable and the country still functions. Sendor letters to Paton Oswald pattn New Word Oswalt. Now, if you’ve been listening to the show, you know that the President and I are not aligned on all the issues. Some issues we are aligned on. For example, make twelve thirty great Again?
Is the late night franchise in the best hands it’s ever been in? Absolutely not, And I think the President is right to be addressing this that we should make twelve thirty great again. Josh Johnson.
Meanwhile, I do differ with the President of the United States on this whole …
Again. I don’t support fascism. I don’t want the fascists taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air. I don’t just say that green Hulu button that’s bottom right on my Roku remote, and I know where it’s there because I look at it every day, and I go, I’m not pressing you. I’m gonna walk up three flights of stairs and get the Scrubs DVDs.
I’m not watching fascist support of television Disney ABC taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Anyway. The President was very upset with this Jimmy Kimmel person and posted on Truth’s Social Why does ABC fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with no talent and very poor television ratings, on the air. Why do the TV syndicates put up with it?
Also totally biased coverage?
Get the bomb off the air? Three exclamation points. Well, mister President, appreciate you listening to Daily Comedy News. Your initial question, why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel on the air is the gist of your question. It’s not the news department that’s keeping Jimmy Kimmel on the air.
He’s actually part of the entertainment group. So the correct question would be why does the ABC Entertainment Group keep Jimmy Kimmel on the air. The answer is that the show does pretty well, presumably make some money, and Jimmy’s the face of the network. The second part of the President’s question, why do the TV syndic kates put up with it? Well, you see, mister President, to be part of the network, you do have to carry almost all of their programming.
So if you wanted, say Monday Night Football or Dancing with the Stars or whatever else is on the ABC network. Again, I don’t watch the thing. I’m not going to support people that took Ji Mkimmel off the air. So whatever it is they’re showing, these stations have to air these things or they’ll be removed from the network. So that is the answer to your question, mister President.
Appreciate you listening. As you know, there are five good Adam Sandler movies, two of them co star Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore has been pushing an idea where she would co star with the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler in a remake of the nineteen ninety two comedy Death Becomes Her Now. If you don’t recall that film, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are both in love with Bruce Willis, so much so that they ingest a magic elixir that promises eternal youth with disastrous effects. One would assume Adam Sandler would play the Bruce Willis role, with Drew Barrymore playing one of the women.
This, of course, is a terrible idea because it would force Adam Sandler to try and be funny again. Sandler’s gonna go in a stick Sandlor, and we don’t want to push him there. We want to keep him as the great, serious dramatic actor that he is, So that is a terrible idea. Drew Barrymore. Sorry.
Another idea is a reimagining of the classic ABC sitcom Three’s Company. You may recall. In Three’s Company, John Ritter plays a man who pretends to be gay so he can share an apartment with two single women. In this idea, Adam Sandler who would play the Jack Tripper role as for the female roommates. They would be played by Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston.
Okay, putting aside that this would be Adam Sandler doing shticky comedy. All three actors name there are too old. We can’t remake Three’s Company with everybody in their sixties. What are we doing? That’s the terrible idea.
Who I think would have been a great Jack Tripper ten to fifteen years ago is Pete Holmes. I think he would have been perfect. He looks the part, He’s got the sensibility for the part. I thought he would have been great. But I think Three’s Company and the original Man about the House are things of their time, and I’m not sure how we would bring that back today.
So let’s just not. Amazon’s MGM Studios has landed Compulsive Liar, which would star Emily Gordon and Kamale Nanjianni. Details are being kept under wraps, however, Deadline has figured out the project is based on the Canadian comedy Mentur. In Mentur, we follow Simon, who’s a big liar. His family and colleagues organized an intervention which turns into a confrontation, and Simon denies everything.
The next day he wakes up in a world where all his lives have come true. I guess Adam Sandler was not available for that one. Out today on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube channel, Big Jay Okerson’s Them They And that’s your comedy news for today. And I kicked five stories so again, real episodes on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, all weekend. I got plenty, not doing any of those top ten sitcoms of All time kind of stuff.
I got plenty for you and tomorrow a normal episode. See you then,
