Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. Which is a phrase you would say if you were training the Spotify algorithm and have successfully gone from eleven percent to fifteen percent of downloads from Spotify. But we don’t have time for that right now, because comedian Rosie Jones has told Ricky Gervase and Jimmy Carr to shut the f up? All right, Oh, what do you know?
Rosie Jones has a new show. It’s called out of Order. It’s on the UK Comedy Central, and she was up promoting it. Funny how that works. Rosie said, it’s your Ricky Gervase’s Jimmy carrs.
It’s just your privileged CIS white straight men who open their newspaper and go, oh, people are talking about trans people. I can know a bit about that without experiencing it. All to those boys that say, with respect, shut the f up. And she actually said the F word. I assume she’s annoyed at Ricky because of his comedy specials.
For Jimmy Carr. The speculation is that on October tenth, Jimmy Carr praised transphobic father Ted creator Graham Lenihan, saying that he admired Graham’s bravery. Jones offered some advice. Rosie says, before you tell a joke, you need to analyze it, and that comes down to three things. First, who are you?
Do you have a lived experience or experience close to you. Second, who is your joke about? What is your intention? Is it positive or negative? Are you punching up or punching down?
And third, why are you telling the joke? Are you asking a question to open up a conversation and make people think differently, or are you saying it simply to be controversial? See, I think she’s leaving something out. One thing that could be funny is repetition. For example, I’m not trying to make a point at all when I point out that one time Joe Coy told this horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift.
Here, let’s listen on. The Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I’m not punching up or down. Maybe I’m punching up a Taylor there, but it’s just funny. The Critics’ Choice Awards are a thing, and Chelsea Handler was your host.
She mocked Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, by the way, over the weekend, I watched that one battle after another movie. Kind of fun. Chelsea mocked Leo for spending New Year’s Eve aboard a quote half billion dollars super yacht with one of the richest men in the world. Chelsea joked, Leo almost didn’t make it tonight because he was trapped on a boat in Saint Bart’s.
It was just like the Titanic, but worse because Jeff Bezos was there. DiCaprio was shown laughing at the jokes, which is something you could do. You know, somebody’s hosting an award show and somebody makes a joke. You could just laugh at the joke. Tailor It’s okay, reminds me, I forgot to google Nikki Glaser as part of the show prep.
Here. Here here’s how the show works. I go to Google and I type in Nikki Glaser, and I type in this news tab and I find this story. On the fly. Nikki Glaser reveals which joke she’s avoiding while hosting the twenty twenty six Golden globes and exclusive from people.
Okay, I’m doing this on the fly. Nicki says, there’s lots of joke about this year, and the star power in the room is going to be bigger than ever. I mean, it’s bigger than last year. I kind of have to keep wrapping my head around the kind of people that are going to be in the room. I mean, Leo’s Vappen is going to be there.
So excited to see that. There’s going to be some big, big gaters in the room. And there’s podcast this year, which is also going to be a hilarious thing to joke about. Nicky says, Leo is at the top of her list of what to avoid. I don’t think I’m gonna go with the Leo jokes he for twenty five times.
I think we’ve heard all that and that’s been done enough. My goal is always to not do what’s expected, only to try to challenge myself to not say things that people are gonna expect and try something else. She said. Hosting twenty twenty five was, without a doubt, the most fun I’ve ever had in my career. I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from the White Lotus, who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian plate’s instructor with a shadowy past golden globes.
This Sunday at eight pm Eastern, which means Johnny Mack has to work late on a Sunday night life is rough. I’ll have to watch football with a laptop out and pull clips on the fly, and then during halftime record the first four minutes of the Daily Comedy News podcast for Monday, and then add in what I had already pre taped. Who Podcasting is a tough business, my friends. Anyway, Nikki, whatever you do, don’t make a horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. I digress.
We were talking about the Critics Choice Awards. Remember that Chelsea Handler was hosting it. Remember that like three minutes ago. Yeah, Lets focus on the comedy parts. Best Comedy, The Naked Gun, Best Comedy Series, Hollywood loves to pat themselves on the back, the incredibly Overrated the Studio.
Best Actor in an incredibly overrated comedy series, Seth Rogan, Best Actress Comedy Series, Gene Smart Hacks good Pick, Best Supporting Actor in an Incredibly Overrated Comedy Series, Mike Barenholts for the Studio Best Supporting Actress Comedy Series, Janelle James for ABBD Elementary Best Animated Series, South Park Best Talk Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Best Variety Series, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Best Comedy Special, SNL fifty The Anniversary Special. As for Jimmy Kimmel, he had this to say. I want to thank our President, Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom we would be going home empty handed tonight. So thank you, mister President, for all the many ridiculous things you do each and every day. It’s been a banner couple of weeks.
We can’t get way to get back on the air tomorrow night to talk about them. Thank you everyone. Two of the presenters, Sebastian Maniscalco, teamed up with Marcelo Hernandez quote putting on a comedy clinic unquote are you kidding me? Listen to me, You’re very seriously here for a second. We have a drug problem in America and people are taking crack and then they’re reviewing things.
This is the thing. I know. This is shocking, and hopefully the President of the United States will focus on the crack problem, which is just increasingly affecting the comedy review community. Now I have a clip for you in terms of star power, name power. There was a universe where I would have let off with the Sebastian Maniscalco or Solo Hernandez clip.
However, it’s so bad I knew that I would lose listeners. So I had to bury it here seven minutes into the podcast because if I put this at the top, any casual listener who came by would be like, this podcast is awful. Now we all know the podcast is awful, but it’s not this all here. Let’s listen. Hello, Hello, everyone, This is very exciting, right.
The fashion on the red carpet was on another level tonight. A lot of fashion tonight. A lot of fashion, a lot of filler. Matter of fact, we just got word backstage Los Angeles is completely out of filler. And I’m like, don’t change your face.
I like your face. You got a good face. Why would you do that? You know myself. It’s a beautiful evening to.
Be here with everybody. Great actors here tonight, fantastic all right, A. Few of you have won, a lot of you have lost, and everybody’s got a winning speech, but nobody’s got a ready to lose face. All right now, Marcello, do you have a ready to lose face? Yeah?
I think if I was nominated and I lost, I would think I would probably do something like I don’t even care about this. I don’t care. About I mean, that’s brutal. Some people are smoking cracking going on social media. One person said, I love them together.
Please make this a regular thing? Off that clip? What do you love there? Another, possibly perhaps maybe smoking crack jumping on TikTok, wrote, they need to host the Oscars. You want Sebastian Manuscalco and Marcelo Hernandez to host the Oscars?
Are you kidding me? What happened to Conan O’Brien. Was he hit by a meteor? Was Jimmy Kimmel deported? Is Nikki Glaser unavailable?
Is Joe Quoy not around? Marcelo Hernandez the what are you insane? Marcelo does have a comedy special coming out this week. It’ll be on Netflix tomorrow. Usually Netflix puts out specials on Tuesday.
I don’t know why they waited to Wednesday on this one. Maybe they wanted everybody to settle back into work so they could do the press. I’m not sure, but twenty four years from now we’ll be able to see if Marcelo Hernanez could do anything other than Domingo and variants on Domingo and possibly sort of doing Sebastian Menscalko impressions. Marcelo was on the Red Carpet. He was asked about Saturday Night Live.
He said, I’m having front. Bro. It’s a crazy job and you get to meet so many crazy people and I love it. As for Bowen Yang’s departure, I look at it like sports. You know, there’s a guy that put up numbers.
He had a distinct voice and everybody loves them, and it’s for a reason. He’s a hard worker. I saw him behind the scenes grinding every week. That’s a guy to learn fro him, for sure. Bowen Yang has yet another gig.
He and Matt Rodgers will host a fifteen episode Winter Games edition of Las Culturistas as part of NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage. WWE plans to maintain its relationship with Tony h Cliff. According to fight Full Select your Home for Comedy News. This despite the cancelation of the Summer Slam late night show that was scheduled last year. You may recall Tony Hinchcliff was set to host the late night show during Summer Slam weekend August second.
However, the event was canceled about a week before it was supposed to take place. He did host the controversial roast of WrestleMania in April, which I don’t think they aired right. Sources within the WWE say they plan to collaborate with Tony Hinchcliff again at some point, although the specifics of the collaboration are currently unknown. Hannah Burner will get a hilarious special in twenty twenty six. No title or synopsis yet, but I’m sure the Hulu publosist will get that information out there.
Hula’s really really good about promoting their specials, so I’m sure I’ll have something in my inbox any second. Twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year John Marcos SIRESI Should I just start calling him that and see if I’m right? Should I just do that? Like all year, like wired to wire? Just always say the full phrase?
Twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year John Marco Sirezi should I do it well. The twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year, John Marcos AIRESI is heading to Tokyo. Oh No, I forgot how time zones work. He’s in Jokyo. He’s probably actually performed by the time you hear this because of the way time zone works.
Timeout dot Com asked twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year John Marcos AIRESI, what can people expect from this tour, and the Comedian of the Year said everything from Thief of Joy’s retired, so it’s gonna be some material that have been fine tuning for the last couple of years. Eighty percent of the show will be really polished material, but there’s gonna be some CrowdWork as some new topical stuff too. Since I’m traveling to a continent I’ve never been to. That’s why I’m going to Tokyo for two weeks before the show, so I’ll have time to soak on the culture and take in new jokes. John Marco’s hoping to film a special this year.
If you’re in Tokyo, He’s at the British pub Good Havens on January seventh. The Comedian of the Year till Timeout dot com, I know a couple comedians have been in Japan, and from what I’ve been told, I’m sure it’s gonna be a different experience in terms of the way audiences respond or how they do CrowdWork. I watch the subtitle versions of other countries local stand up, and I know in some ways that stand up is new there. I think the key to good crowd work is to have legitimate curiosity. I think I’m going to really have that when I’m talking to locals there, and it usually creates fun comedic moments.
He talked about scaling up, explaining touring internationally is not easy. When I went to Europe for the first time, it was like, can we do this? How are ticket sales going to be? I think what’s different now is that he built a company and I finally have an infrastructure. So I could have waited a little longer.
But I think you grow so much as an artist experiencing a different culture and seeing how you jokes play out, and I want to have an international reach. That’s why the tour is ambitious. Comedy Survivor Week one is underway. Join us in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. Find the Little Cartoon of comedy survivor.
In that thread, give the name of the person who want to vote off. I don’t want to steer the conversation, but last time I looked to Amy Schumer, Jay Leno and Joe Koy had received some votes. Voting continues until end of day Thursday. Here’s a new movie. It’s called Doctor Jekyl and Mister Shark.
Yes, an indie horror comedy. The story centers on Doctor Jekyl, a broken and isolated man shattered by the loss of his wife, verments with an untested drug called shark open I love this already. You see, Sharkopene is an untested drug that warps his body into a bloodthirsty man shark. Now driven by madness and love from beyond the grave, Jekyl prowls the streets, says Marcelo Hernandez as funny and hunts anyone who threatens his twisted relationship with his long dead bride. Doctor Jekyl and Mister Shark out January twenty if looking forward to that.
Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, and she went on Instagram and shared a collection of makeup free photos taken before and during a recent getaway and included many images of Amy Schumer modeling bikinis and other swimwear from a particular brand. Schumer captured the post my mom took these photos of me while I was packing for a trip. In the last photo, I’m on the trip. This year is about self care and self love. Let’s all appreciate our health, our families, our friends and have the best year of our lives, moving forward with no regrets, just love and The Toronto Guardian wrote about comedian Blair Williams.
Blair’s influenced by folks like Don Rickles, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor. Blair going a little old school his style Blend’s personal stories with resilience. Larry uses a wheelchair and says I like to challenge perceptions using humor to disarm and educate the audience while keeping things light and funny. My comedy influences go way back to when I was a kid watching Rickles, Carson, Pryor Carl and Tim Conway, Robin Williams, Red Skelton and Eddie Murphy. In my teenage years, I gravitated towards Mike Myers, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler.
I like this guy like a second ago. Now I have fine inspiration of the styles of Bill Burr. You know Bill Burr played the Comedy Festival, And if you remember that Joey Diaz, who some people say is the worst person on the planet. Yeah, I’ve heard people say that if you ever run it to Joey Diaz in real life, he’s the biggest a hole you’ll ever meet and just a horrible, horrible person. I’ve heard people say that about Joey Diaz.
I digressed Shane Gillis, Tony Hinchcliff Mark Norman, and Adam Ray Blair. Williams says, I also have to give a big shout out to Josh Blue and Jared Nathan, who continue to shape my comedy journey today. Rickles had sharp wit, Curlin’s boundary pushing insights, and Robin Williams’s incredible energy and improvisation all had a huge impact on me. I’ve gravitated towards Josh Blue for years because I believe his philosophy of using self deprecation leads to strength. As for Jared Nathan, I discovered him while stuck in bed with COVID during the pandemic.
I came across his appearance on Kill Tony and was immediately stuck by how much fun he was having on stage. It reignited my passion for comedy and I started writing again right away. They asked him his favorite bit bit of a spoiler here. My favorite bit has to be the one where I talk about how I got hurt and what that caused. I use a mix of misdirection and shock with a dark punch line at the end.
What I love most about is the versatility. I’ve got multiple endings for the same setup, so I can keep the audience on their toes and surprise them every time. It’s rewarding because it always gets a big laugh, and I love watching people’s reactions when they realize where the joke is headed. All right, Blair Williams, Where do you find new comedy these days? Blair says, I wait every Monday to watch Kill Tony.
It’s a blast watching new comics get their shot and seeing what they bring to the table. Beyond that podcast, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, and Shane podcasts are a great way to find new voices and get to know comics on a personal level. And that is your comedy news for today. All right, go to the Facebook group vote for Comedy survivor you’re voting someone off the island. The group is a Daily Comedy News podcast group.
See Tomorrow.
