The Shark Deck. President Biden announced he’s running for reelection. Hig I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Kimmel said Biden’s face could be on money while he’s still in office. Falon Biden’s campaign slogan is finished the job, Finished the job.
Americans said they’d be happy if he could just finish a story fallon again. According to polls, most Democrats don’t want Biden to run again. Then Biden said, hey, none of you wanted Avatar too either, But look how that turned out. Seth Myers. Can you imagine if it’s Biden versus Trump again?
That’s like going into a diner and the only things on the menu were two day old egg salad and Donald Trump. I guess I’ll take my chances with the egg salad. James Cordon wrapped up last night as I recorded on Thursday, almost no Articles. Strangest thing I’ve ever seen. John Mulaney was on with Jimmy Kimmel, who was getting more pressed than James Gordon.
Mullaney told the story about spending time at Jimmy Kimmel’s house in twenty twenty one, which lasted quote a few weeks, and then another few weeks. Kimmel said it was like his family had adopted a son. Wellaney said, I was treated so well. I never saw you. I never did, but I’d wake up and there’d be a basket with bagels.
There’s a nice restaurant, quality espresso machine. Not bad if you’re thinking of having no phone. It’s real good over there at Jimmy Kimmel’s from al dot com. That’s ALA’s in Alabama, not my friend Al’s website. Fortune Feemster went to a BUCkies.
This came up a few months ago on the podcast BUCkies came up with a story and I’d know what it was, and a bunch of listeners educated me, and I’m now fascinated by it. It was Fortune Feamster’s first time there. She shared a clip on Instagram and said, oh my god, beaver nuggets. I don’t know what this is, but sign me up. She checked out all the highlights of the BUCkies, cheap gas, nice restrooms, kitschi merchandise, hot food, and hot sauce.
She walked by a wall of dried meat and said, anybody wants some jerky? I mean, good, Lord, that’s a lot of Jerky, also catching her eye a swimsuit featuring a pattern of Bucky’s beavers over leper spots. She said, all right, I found my new one piece bathing suit right here. Come on, should I get it? Vulture did a lank piece with roy Wood Junior.
The overarching topic is why is it Roywood Junior? The exos of the Daily Show, and a sub topic of Roy Wood is hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner tomorrow night. I’ll talk about that on Saturday’s episode. Bulchar quotes Mike Berbiglia, who said, a bunch of my comic friends, when they found out Trevor Noah was leaving the Daily Show, said and they’re going to give it to roy right Wood said, they’re dating around. The perception is always that the talent is auditioning for the show, but I feel like the show is also auditioning for the talent.
I’m focusing on the stuff I can trust in control because we’re in a weird flux place. It’s giving me a little bit of time to Delvina the things that excite me. I’m getting the vibe from reading a few Roywood Junior articles that he’s kind of frustrated with the Daily Show people. He can’t say it out loud, obviously, because then they might say, all right, then we won’t give you the show. But it’s kind of weird that they didn’t give him the show, to the point where if they actually give him the show now it’s going to feel second choicy or like we couldn’t find anyone else.
The guest host thing is weird to me. I forget who’s hosting this week. I had to look her up. I’m like, I don’t even know who that is, but I’m old Roy. What Junior says, if the job does go to someone else, it might be time to move on.
He says, if they’re not choosing me as host, I have to assume that I’m not going to be part of the show in any other capacity. Yeah, if you don’t get the show, you gotta move on. He is focused on a stand up and he said, I know the next three hours that I want to build. The invisions one called The Man of Many Fathers. That would be about the people that filled their father role in his life after his father’s death at age eighty would was just sixteen.
Another hour would be about him and his father, and the third about Roy and his son Fulter tells a nice anecdote Roy’s hanging out with the comedy seller and a writer from Guttfeld asked Roy what they could do better over at Gutfeld. Roy would suggestion the Fox News personalities who guessed on the show won’t let Greg carry the comedy. I haven’t seen enough Gutfeld to weigh in on that opinion. I forget Guttfeld exists now. I write this podcast at least a minimum four days a week, usually five.
I usually do the seven episod it’s in five days, and I never see any stories about Gutfield. I get that it’s doing okay in the ratings. Fox News publicist, you don’t need to email me, but I never see any stories about it. This like zero buzz. Roy spoke about his days as a touring comedian.
He said, I remember being on the road and worrying about money and food. You can’t focus on the jokes. I need my audience to be ready for me. So what can I do to make sure that when you work with me, you’re only thinking about the jokes? If money in a plane ticket do that cool?
I’d rather pay more for my opener than I have the club book, somebody who’s going to slow my show down. I’m more concerned with somebody thinking I’m an a hole professionally speaking, at least than I am with bombing, because if you’re funny and nice enough, you’ll get opportunities. Tomorrow’s White House Correspondence dinner is quote the quickest and clearest way for people to understand exactly who I am and what I believe. It’s White People show time at the Apollo, and he says he expects half the room to not know who he is, and the other half will probably think I’m Keenan Thomson. A fair amount of Pete Davidson press going around.
Bupkiss is out next week, I believe, and then Pete’s hosting Saturday Night Live, so I’ll probably have Pete Davidson stories almost every day for next ten days. I guess here’s today’s Pete Davidson told Good Housekeeping. When I was younger, I bought the uncensored M and M Show CD, which of course I wasn’t allowed to have, so I kept it in a Rod Stewart jewel case. My mom noticed and for years should play Rod Stewarts of something we could bond Over. Congratulations to Stewart Field, winner of twenty twenty three’s Mastermind over in the UK heat shows the BBC sitcom Extras as his specialist subject Ricky Gervais joked, it’s not the winning, it’s the taking part.
Although if you don’t win technically you’re a loser. Field said Mastermind was the only thing he’d ever wanted to win. I have the questions, he answered, correctly, remember extras, Ricky Gervais, No, not the office, the other one. Yeah, all right, ready, I went over five here. Question number one, scenes from one episode the first series had to be filmed a month before production was due to begin in order to accommodate the availability of which guest star.
The answer Samuel L. Jackson. Question number two, what’s the name of the club which Andy visits on the recommendation of Barryoff Eastanders, who says it’s where the cast of the soap used to go to avoid the public. The answer Castro’s I could have sat here for ten years and I got that. Three.
A newspaper photograph shows Andy and his new friend Jonathan Ross having fun at Ross’s house, which, according to Andy, is in which English seaside town swanage number four. When a new neighbor named Kathy moves into Andy’s apartment block, he tells her he lives on the second floor at what number twenty one? And your final question if you want to be the mastermind. When Andy is befriended by a fellow extra played by Steve Spears, he’s decidedly underwhelmed to me invited round on a Sunday afternoon and watch a DVD of what film? That film?
Vera drake? Oh for five? Here? How do you do? On gossip Corner?
Eugene Levy was spotted in syrac Use at Postabilities. Saw that name. Oh, some of the listeners give me a hard time when I start looking at menus. But I wasn’t going to do it, but now I’m like, hm, Postibilities. Let’s see with possibility cells, we can order take out.
Let’s order take out super the day today Southwest Potato for your starters. You can get various salads or oh, here’s a thie beef side, rice noodles, shaved steak, onion, sweetbelt pepper, cilantro. I would totally get that if I were at Postibilities nine bucks. Get some subs at traditional meatball sub at Chicken Farm. Obviously, Postibilities has pasta you think and for dessert a Mexican chocolate pistachio caramel maroni four fifty.
But enough about the menu, tell us about Eugene Levy. Okay. Night manager Jez Zimmer was seating a party of three at Postibilities and Syracuse. The group was masked and Zimmer heard one woman addressed the man as Eugene. Took Zimmer a minute and then he realized, with the hair in the eyebrows, how could you not?
They just walked in here. The party told Zimmer they were passing through Syracuse for the night. Why I’m gonna get letters from Sereuse. But like, Syracuse isn’t a place you like passed through it like nine pm. Maybe in the middle of the day if you’re from bigger city to bigger city and you stop there, or maybe you’re visiting Syracuse, But like, I don’t think it’s a place you pass through at night.
You can yell at me if you’re from Syracuse. All right, what do they ordered? Johnny mac Levy ordered a steak, and Zimmer said the group finished with a cookie and coffee. They said it was fantastic. No complaints man between the Bucky’s people and the Syracuse people.
I am gonna hear it. If you want to complain, why don’t you complain on the Daily Comedy News podcast group. You’ll find that on Facebook. Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. There was some activity on the page.
Becky wrote, Dear Johnny Mack, I just got home from Bobcat Goldweight’s record release party at Lincoln Lodge in Chicago was tremendous. Thanks for the heads up. He was joined by a bunch of other comics, most notably Jay McBride, who’s fantastic. Tim Kazarinski remember him from SNL thirty forty forty years ago. At this point, Tom Kenny, and a surprize hit of the night, Eugene Mermid.
Becky adds Bob’s Burgers Traversey aside, Eugene Merman was silly and absurd, just wonderful. She shared a pick. You’ll find that Daily Comedy News podcast group on Facebook. It’s a very nice picture and I’m waiting to hear back from Becky if she asked Eugene Merman about the Bob’s Burgers conspiracy. If you are a new listener, I’ll ask you two questions.
First question, have you ever actually seen Bob’s Burgers? The answers no, And more importantly, have you ever met anyone, anyone at all who has seen bombs Burgers? No. I understand they promoted on Fox. I understand this, Merch, I get it.
I get all that. But have you ever actually seen the show on Fox? You haven’t remember. I asked you guys to rank Chris Rock, Luis Ka, and Dave Chappelle. David wrote, Chris Rock funny, Dave Chappelle yup, yup, yeap, Luis c K awkward, Bubba said, all hilarious, although c K lax impulse control, Chappelle needs a better filter.
And Rock blundered his way back in the nineties with his bid about the N word versus black people, but realized it was mistake, acknowledged it, and moved on. I’ve been talking about the show Jury Duty, which reminds me I have to watch the end of it. Maybe I’ll do that. No, I’m not home tonight. I’ve got family stuff right Maybe Sunday after Melani I’ll finish up Jury Duty.
Richard wrote, Andrew Weinberger is on episode four ninety of probably science and shares a lot of insight into the show Jury Duty. If anyone’s interested, I’m going to download that right now before I forget done. Thank you Richard. When I do that during the show, I really am downloading the show now. There’s probably about a four minute hole which I have edited away, but yeah, I grabbed my phone.
I did it and answered a text from my son as well. The trailer for Hannah Gadsby’s upcoming special has come out. I tried to pull the audio, but there were too many swears and a lot of music. And if you had the music and on the YouTube version of the podcast, then they’re like, heys cam Randy music at retained das. I’m like, I’m not going to bother with this.
I really liked her special. Douglas, the one Nanette is the one. Everybody was claiming that Hannah Gasby reinvented comedy. People lost their mind over Nenette. I thought Douglas was better.
The trailer for this one called something Special. Not doing it for me yet, but I will watch it. I’m curious, but I wasn’t feeling the trailer. The press release says, in the smart and feel Good set, the comedian talks about a wedding. There’s more than one traumatic encounter with a bunny and much more.
You’ll find Hannah Gaspy May ninth on Netflix. I have three words for you, Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Being a fan of said show, they’re actually developing this sequel. Warner Brothers made the announcement during CinemaCon.
They showed a variety of logos featuring upcoming projects. One of those was that word too. I’m not saying a third time. You know what happens if you say it a third time. I’m not doing it.
You say it three times. Michael Keaton and Tim Burton are reportedly in talks to return. Jenna Ortega also in talks to star in the film. I saw the live musical version as opposed to the pre recording musical version. I saw the Broadway musical version.
I was so good, really enjoyed it. They’ve been trying to get a sequel going since the nineties. There was one pitched called title character goes Hawaiian. I’m not saying it. The idea of the original child character goes Hawaiian came around as early as nineteen ninety.
The Deets family had moved to Hawaii to develop a vccasion resort. As one does, they’re almost like the howls in the Gilligan’s Island sequels. As construction begins, it’s quickly found that the resort is being planned atop an ancient burial ground, much like in the Brady Bunch enter the title character who would accidentally awake native spirits and cause Bayham. Why didn’t it get made because Warner Brothers wanted a sequel to Batman, and they pulled Tim Burton and Michael Keaton to go make that. By nineteen ninety seven, they were saying Whenona Ryder was too old for the role, the only way they could make it would be to totally recast it.
In twenty thirteen, Winona Ryder told The Daily Beast, I’m kind of sworn a secrecy, but it sounds like I might be happening. It’s twenty seven years later, and I have to say I love Lydia did so much. She was such a huge part of me. I’d be really interested in seeing what she’s doing. Twenty seven years later, in twenty sixteen, supposedly a script was finished.
The next year, they hired somebody to rewrite the script. In twenty nineteen, Warner Brothers said the sequel had been shelved. I love unplanned tangents. I had no intention of talking about that particular movie. I’m not saying it.
You’re not tricking me, all right, don’t bump this story to tomorrow. Now we’re now, We’re getting long here from the Sydney Comedy Festival. This via Shortal. Comedian Ruben Kay has been forced to pull out of the Sydney Comedy Festival because of threatened protests from offended Christians. Kay appeared last month on a primetime TV show called The Project and made a joke about Jesus.
He was speaking about the comments he receives from people and said, I think it’s hilarious when someone messages me and says you have to accept Jesus’s love. You’re burning hell Because I love Jesus. I love any man who can get nailed for three days straight and come back for more. That joke caused outrage in some quarters. A member of a group called Christian Lives Matters said, we have all had enough in this show last night crossed the line with the mocking of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Everyone needs to stand united and we need to put a stop to all of this. So Ruben Kay has pulled out of the festival. Let’s see who’s playing there on Saturday. I like the name of this show, Five Mistakes That Changed History. It’s a picture of Napoleon sitting on a horse.
The horse has sunglasses on. Napoleon’s holding a mixed dring Ken is wearing heart shaped sunglasses. We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of history. Fresh from sold out runs at Adelaide and Sydney Fringe. In this historical storytelling comedy show, historian and comedian Paul Coulter tells the funny and tragic stories of five people and how their mistakes changed the world.
Love It. Bert Kreisher wasn’t expecting to see Bert Kreisher. Imagine we go all the way to Sydney and we just see Bert Kreisher. Here’s a show called Nick and Tom real estate Agents. I’m not reading all of them, and some of the names.
There are some names you’ve seen the other nights joined Sydney Premier character actors Nick Harriet and Tom Waddle on a hilarious and thought provoking journey through the cutthroat world of real estate. This one act tragic comedy as a sale’s oldest time struggling estate agent meets pizza Boy. Pizza boy accidentally sells a house with three million dollars. Real estate agents secretly recruits pizza Boy to boost sales at his father’s firm. Sounds like a good time.
That’s the end of the news, proper. I’ve got a couple of things I want to talk about. I was laughing, so I post the podcast, obviously to all the audio players, but I also put a version of it up on YouTube, and the YouTube quote unquote views. There’s no video, it’s just the audio and a wave for him. They’re all over the place.
I posted a YouTube short about Scott Ackerman that got a few thousand views. If I post Dave Chappelle anything thousands of views, and the episode about Carol Burnett’s ninetieth birthday on YouTube that got eight views eight eight eight eight, I feel bad. Come on. Luckily, the audio version got more than that, but the YouTube version got eight. Scott Ackerman got thousands.
Jerry Springer passed away on Thursday. This has nothing to do with comedy and obviously not funny. But I met Jerry I probably thirty years ago now when I was producing the morning show at w o R in New York, and I always remember Jerry was like super cool in person. I don’t know that he had any other sort of reputation on there being super cool, but when I met him, I love the guy.
And then at Christmas time, a package showed up, a big, heavy pat package and…
It was a styrofoam cooler pack with dry ice and he had sent a deep dish pizza. And I had never been in the Midwest at that point, so I had this thing and I brought home my mom baked it for me. Oh it’s delicious. We still talk about that pizza. So rest in peace, Jerry Springer.
Earlier in the week, I was in Chicago and I recorded an episode of my travel podcast, which is called Travel Is Back. That one came out really well. I was at the Field Museum and the Field Museum has trivia, and I had my daughter with me and we started playing some of the trivia and it just came out and I hear the Letterman influence on me. Jenny Mack, do you just compare yourself to Letterman. No, but I hear the Letterman influence in what I’m doing.
So a very fun episode of Travel Is Back. Even if you don’t want to go to Chicago, or you don’t care about travel, and you don’t care about the museum, just the trivia parts were a lot of fun.
