Caloroga Shark Media should Stephen Colbert run for president. I’ve suggested that before High I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy, and he was a daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry, which is a phrase you would say, and it might take your Spotify numbers from eleven percent to fourteen percent. But I don’t have time for that right now. Stephen Colbert was at slat’s political gamb Fest. He was asked if he would run for president in twenty twenty eight.
Colbert replied absolutely. I should not run for president, and I understand why you want me to. I have to discuss with my faith leader and my family to see if once in my service on the Late Show ens in May, I could be of some greater service to this nation that I love so much. But it sounds like he’s not gonna run, which is a shame. I think he would be a good candidate.
Here’s why. He speaks well, he can debate well, and he looks nice. Those are three important things. And he seems calm. We could use a little calm right now.
On crack dot Com, Keegan Kelley writes Dave Chappelle and the Saudi Royal Family deserve each other. In response to some of mister Chappelle’s jokes keating, Kelly writes, in Saudi Arabia, trans people can be beaten in prison, tortured, and murdered for their identities. Homosexuality is illegal in the country, as his gender reassignment surgery addressing in ways that don’t reflect one’s assigned sex at birth. Critics of the Riad Comedy Festival know that in order to secure his no doubt exorbitant appearance fee at the Read Comedy Festival, Chappelle had assign a censorship contract guaranteeing that he would not joke about Saudi Arabian culture, religion, or politics, and he would not utter a single word about the Saudi Royal family. But ultimately Chappelle doesn’t care about any of that because none of it prohibits him from performing comedy his way.
Plus, as an obscenely wealthy and decorated artist who considers criticism of his comedy to be a civil rights issue, Chappelle clearly empathizes with the Saudi Royal family’s draconian treatment of dissent. Kelly suggests Dave Chappelle should switch to a Saudi Arabian streaming service for his next nine figure distribution deal. Johnny mcdin’ realize his voice is a little thin today until he got behind the microphone. Shane Gillis is set to make his BKFC debut in twenty twenty six. Now you’re like Johnny Mack, what’s BKFC.
Is that like a Chicken place in Brooklyn? No, BKFC is bear knuckle Boxing. Shane Gillis is attending Knucklemania six and we’ll walk out heavyweight Patrick Brady at the event on February seventh in Philadelphia. Shane Gillis gave in after Brady posted a series of comedic videos requesting Shane Gillis join his corner to convince Shane Gillis to walk him out. Brady posted multiple videos of himself taking body shots from other professional fighters until Shane gave in.
Gillis commented, I’m in after watching one of the videos of Brady getting punched in the stomach. Amy Schumer in the news again. Various reports, including one of the Daily Mail, quoting all sorts of insiders. One insider alleges that Amy Schumer realized she couldn’t have it all at once. It was challenging juggling her marriage with the pressures of show business.
Her career slowed down after becoming a mom, and she didn’t prioritize her professional goals with the same zeal she once did. The Insider says that Amy’s confidence skyrocketed with her weight loss, and she ultimately chose to focus on her career. The Blast said Schumer not only obtained a toned physique, but gained a more chiseled face. The Blast spoke to some beauty experts. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Doctor Kahn offered his professional opinion.
According to doctor Kahn, he agrees that Amy is using filters to achieve her flawless appearance. He believes she either got botox or is editing her instagrams. Ricky Gervais was on the jack Mates Happy Hour podcast and doesn’t think he’ll do another TV show. Dervease said, I don’t know. I’m really loving stand up at the moment when I first started, I thought on myself as a writer, director and actor, and stuff had written and directed, and you do the odd film project.
And then I tried stand up and I did stand up tours between series. In the last few years, maybe the last six seven, eight years, it switched around. I feel that stand up is my job. I feel that I’ve always got to be doing stand up. And I finished a project, I think of doing something else that it’ll take three years.
Ali Katz will be I think three or four years after Afterlife ended. But I’ve just finished the tour and I’ve put a new material Nights in January. So once I finished that, I put that on Netflix and I’m starting again. I feel now that I’m a touring Netflix stand up and I wonder what I’ll do in the daytime. Ricky talked about getting older, saying, if I do three gigs in a row now at my age, I wake up and I think, was I run over last night?
I got to do another gig tonight. It gets sort of harder. And I don’t know if there’s an adrenaline dump that I don’t notice at the time, or it might just be that I’m sixty four. When I was a kid, the thought of being sixty four was do you live that long? I know it’s different now.
I mean, I should be retiring anyway soon, and I don’t think about retiring, but I just think it takes a little bit more.
Also, it’s for the ten thousand pounds for the chickens.
I think I don’t need to do it. I don’t need to have ten thousand dollars to have a chicken. So something’s got to be amazing for me to do it. Ricky has donated two and a half million pounds to animal charities from the proceeds of the Mortality World Tour. Ricky announced on Twitter to celebrate my Mortality Tour, my Netflix special, my Golden Globes nomination, and the Spirit of Christmas, donating two point four to three million two animals.
These are the lovely charities have chosen Merry Christmas critters. The list includes the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals, the International Animal Rescue, the Celia Hemmond Animal Trust, and Animals Asia. They’ll all receive one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Now Zad, which provides animal welfare services in Afghanistan and Ukraine, will be given one hundred and thirty two thousand pounds, and there were seventeen other charities which will all receive one hundred thousand pounds Rickysrvased Mortality is on Netflix December thirtieth Tomorrow. On this program, we’ve got a couple list articles for you.
Then on Sunday and Monday, I will take a look at remember that list of the top comedians of the twenty first century. I have some thoughts. Those will be Sunday and Monday’s episodes, and then on Tuesday we’ll jump back in with a normal episode. If you’re listening on Spotify, follow Daily Comedy News so it shows up in your feet every morning. I hear that’s the kind of thing that’ll jump your Spotify numbers from eleven to fourteen percent in a hurry.
Oh, we don’t have time for that right now, because it is time before the comedy stock market hit it. Burt Reynolds Comedy stock Market. Yes, it is the final comedy stock market of twenty twenty five. And a reminder, this is not saying somebody’s good or bad. It is finding the value so we can make some money on our comedy stocks.
My cell recommendation, let’s sell Bowen Yang. I know everybody’s fawning over Bowen Yang and bon Voyage and he’s great and all that, and that’s when you sell, you get out now. As I said earlier in the week, I’m not sure what Bowen Yang’s future is. My comparison is Kate McKinnon. Yeah, he’s great on SNL, but are you going to see a bone Yang movie?
Do you want a Boon Yang sitcom? I’m not sure you do. Let’s sell. Kamil nan Gianni was this special funny sure, but he’s not gonna stick with this. He wants to be an actor.
Everything about him tells he wants to be an actor. So, yeah, he popped into the comedy stage for a day and he’s he’s gone again. So he’s overvalued. Let’s sell. And remember this is all about value.
Also overvalued right now is Jimmy Kimmel. Sure, everybody loves Jimmy Kimmel right now, but remember this is about value. Let’s get out on Jimmy Kimmel. Let’s buy some Stephen Colbert because he said he wasn’t gonna run for president, but he didn’t totally say no way I would run for president. And maybe he was just floating as an idea.
So let’s scoop up a little Colbert because he had never know what happens and let’s sell some Dave Chappelle. I’ve never seen a special flame out like that. That went from like, oh my god, Dave spell is a special to two days later nobody was even talking about it. Was it good? Sure?
But Chappelle might be overvalued these days. So we’re gonna sell Bow and Yang. We’re gonna sell come out on Geohnny. We’re gonna sell some Kimmel, but I can see us buying back in. We’re gonna buy Colbert, and we’re gonna sell Dave Chappelle.
I feel bad that that’s kind of a negative comedy stock market, but we’re here to make money off these things, and that’s where the value is. James Cameron not too happy with Amy Poehler. Back in twenty three ten, Amy Poehler was hosting the Golden Globeskathern Bigelow was the Best Director nominee thanks to Zero Dark thirty. Amy Poehler joked, when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron. Cameron is not happy with that, he told The New York Times.
Amy Poehler’s remark was an ignorant dig at an event that’s supposed to be a celebration of cinema and filmmakers. I’m bretty, thick skinned and happy to be the butt of a good natured joke. But that went too far. The fact that people found it funny shows exactly what they think of me, even though they have no idea who I am or how I work. Now, look note Tinniggy Glazer, who’s hosting the Golden Globes this year.
You have to be very, very careful because you know, some people say they’re willing to be the butt of a good natured joke, and then some people will just stoneface you and practically wreck your career, like, for example, one time Joe Coy told it is a horrible, just awful joke about Taylor Swift. Here, let’s listen, a big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor Swift. Vin Spacey is back, baby. You may recall Kevin Spacey was the star of House of Cards.
Now if you put on Netflix, they act like Kevin Spacey’s not even in any of the episodes. There’s always somebody else on the title card Kevin Spacey never heard of them Well. Kevin Spacey is now staring in the Italian comedy series Mini Market for Italy’s state broadcaster RAI. We’re told it’s a low budget show at which the two time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey plays Kevin Spacey, the imaginary mentor of a young man who works at a Rome convenience store and dreams of becoming a TV star like Kevin Spacey. In a promo, Kevin Spacey sings Randy Newman’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me and Frank Sinatras I’ve Got you under my Skin.
I know you want to watch this. What’s Mini Market about? Well? Kevin Spacey plays Manilo’s artistic conscience and unpredictable mentor. Their relationship is grounded in bickering, misunderstandings and mutual teasing.
The show captures both the experience of a man who’s been on the world’s most important movie in TV sets and recklessness of someone who does not realize that they have an Oscar winner by their side. Mini Market is ten episodes. It’s out today on the RII Play streaming service, and bad news for the paper you know the office sort of spin off. Well, they’ve been airing it on NBC and apparently isn’t doing too well because NBC originally was going to run it through January twenty six and now they’re like, yeah, we’re just gonna run three episodes on January third, which is a Saturday, which screams they want out of the paper business. I believe it was renewed for Peacock, but apparently not doing well on over the air television.
And that is your comedy news for today. Again. Tomorrow, I’ve got some lists for you, and then Monday and Tuesday I’ll take a look at the top comedians of the twenty first century so far. See you there,
