Caloroga Shark Media. Right there. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, the daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry, which is a sentence the ALGORITHMP barely love, so I’ll keep saying it. It was a three day weekend and apparently everybody took yesterday off and there wasn’t all that much comedy news. So as I was putting the show together, I’m like, I need one more thing, and boy, George Lopez has hooked it up.
Now. Longtime listeners remember, kind of as the pandemic was starting to ramp down, George Lopez had George Lopez tacos and I made a lot of fun of that and got through a lot of slow news days with that. So George Lopez has hooked it up once again. The headline George Lopez launches innovative stovetop, grill and smoker that fans love. I promised you yesterday.
Yesterday was very political. I said today I would try and make today fun, and I will try and make today fun. I do have one thing I need to do at the end, but do that very last From Parade Magazine, comedian George Lopez surprises fans with the invention of his own stovetop barbecue, grill and smoker, showcasing its unique design and functionality on Instagram. Parade tells us if you’ve been wondering what George Lopez has been up to, you might be surprised to learn the world famous stand up comedian has been cooking up something special behind the scenes. There’s a video.
Should we listen, Let’s listen. Well don’t know this, but I am Ben and my own grill. This is the cast iron and when you churn on, when you put this over it, and then the holes line up to the trot there and you’re done cooking. It all collects, nothing goes in the fire, so in a sense, you would be barbecuing inside your chicken ribs, whatever you want to do. We did some strips one time.
We want to paves on this too. Bacon, sausage, steaks, hot dogs. Easy to clean and the more you use it, the more it looks beat down and the better of fruit tastes. So we’re gonna be cooking on this one and the first person I guess, Hulder, I’ll stop doing it. But until then, kitchen is open.
So you guys, yes, leave me a note, gave me a message, and tell me what you want me to cook, and I’ll make it happen on this scroll right here. And Parade Magazine didn’t shill for George Lopez at all. This is an honest to goodness review. And I know that because they wrote honestly. Parade writes, honestly, this thing is beyond cool.
That’s right. It’s not just cool, it’s beyond cool, says Parade Magazine. Designed to sit like a stovetop griddle, George Lopez’s four piece stovetop and barbecue grill slash smoker has a speckled enamel on steel base with an integrated grease truff that fits perfectly over two burners on any standard range about the height and shape of a large rectangular baking dish. The bass cradles a cast iron grill insert, keeping it raised above the burners and creating a chamber of heat underneath. Now on the video he posted, there’s some chiron.
It says, should I start my own cooking show? And to that, George Lopez, I say, oh, please, do really really please do. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, so she posted herself a bright red bikini on Instagram. There we see comedian Amy Schumer wearing a red bikini looking out at the clear blue water. She pauses for a few seconds before she takes a leap into the clear blue water.
She also shared some photos of herself spending some time with friends and joked, my new team is expensive, but worth it. She explains, laughing hard with your friends is so essential. Don’t forget good for your body, close your eyes and breathe, move around, jump in water whenever you have the chance, and get your face out of your screen and in front of other people. Nate Bergazzi was the Grand Marshal at the daytone of five hundred. He caught up with the Charlotte Observer.
We learned that Nate slept over at the track before the race. He said, yeah, I woke up in the racetrack. Admatur of us come down. It was just easy. You want experience, said the best way you can and your grand marshals, so you can ask for a couple of things.
I was like, can you please put me in the middle of the track. So, yeah, we woke up there. You open the door and you’re kind of in it. Nate said, I was thinking all those people that sleep out there. I’m sure a lot of them have long nights, and then you wake up to a car going two hundred miles an hour.
Nate was asked if he had any opinion on NASCAR coming back to the Nashville Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds last hosted a Cup race in nineteen eighty four. Nate said, there were roller coasters over there. What maybe nervous about roller coasters at the Fairgrounds. I remember riding as a kid that always be working on them, even when you were riding the roller coaster, Like, why these guys working on the roller coaster as it’s going anyway.
Yeah, the speedway’s beautiful where it’s at. It’s very accessible. It’s a real big track. Obviously the Fairgrounds would be nice to have it in Nashville proper. The soccer stadium’s over there, so I don’t know, it’d be nice if you could switch it up.
It’s a smaller track at different race. They asked Nate about the power he had as his grand marshall. He said, I’m trying to learn how much power do I have? Just keep pushing the limit. NASCAR centric sketches you know it’s hard.
Talladegga Knights killed it. That’s what makes it the hardest. The stuff they did that movie where we’re like, yeah they did, it’s unbelievable. You’re always looking yours trying to find material, trying to find something to do. I’ll definitely have my eyes open and see if I see anything.
If I do, I need material. I’ve always need a material. Bird Kreischer was also down there for the weekend. He was joined by NASCAR driver Natalie Decker. They took a picture together.
In it, we see Natalie Decker and Berg Kreischer smiling with their mouths open and pointing to the sky. Decker got in a mention of her sponsor and wrote, from your nose to your tills and everything in between, there’s a sponsor name for that. Sponsor can pay me. Adam Sandler once performed music on the streets of New York City after he was fired from three jobs. Sandler last week won that award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
Sandler said music is the best that’s always been there for me. When I went to NYU, I said, I kind of want to stay in New York this summer between freshman and sophomore year, and I was doing stand up and my dad said, you got to get a job. So I got three different jobs. I got fired, fired from two restaurants, in a pharmacy. They were all like, you’re not good working.
So I told my dad I keep getting fired. He was like, you got to make money. Button, So I said, yeah, I think maybe i’ll sing on the subway. So I used to sing on the subways. So wait, so like back in the day, wait, I got do some Mathew, how old is Sandler?
Sandler’s fifty nine is three years older than me. So when he was in college, I was in high school and I commuted via subway to high school. You mean to tell me When I was trying to just like get to school and there was some idiot singing in the subway. I hate those guys because they’re in the way. This is New York City move So the idiot singing the subway could have been Adam Sandlor.
Oh, now it all makes sense. I probably have some subconscious hatred of this man, going back to like me wearing a blazer and tie in nineteen eighty seven, just trying to get to school and there’s this idiot singing stupid songs in the subway. Sailor explained, you take your guitar case, opened it. This was before the assigned places. I used to randomly just go to different spots and play guitar.
Get out of the way. Now it all makes sense. Jessica Curson said she can look at an audience, pick people out, and spin it into material right on the spot. In her current set, she says, I do crowd work in the beginning because everybody wants to see that. Then I talk about my family as well in observations and do some characters.
When I started stand up comedy, I served as the host of many shows. I got a lot more stage time that way, and when you host, you talk to the crowd a lot. I always felt comfortable communicating like that. I don’t call it crowd work. I call it crowd conversations because I’m really talking to them.
It’s not forced at all. I could tell when people want me to tease them or bust on them. Most of my theater shows, the entire front sells out before the other parts of the theater. People want to be upfront and talk to me. But if I feel someone doesn’t want to talk, I’ll never pressure them.
Mike Epps is opening a boxing gym in Indianapolis. It’s the Right Jab at Boxing Gym on Sutherland Avenue near thirty eighth Street. Mike Apps said, there’s no way I could gain the success that I have and not bring it back to Indianapolis and share it. A lot of entertainers, a lot of people move out of their hometowns and go to big cities. Do you work?
But no place like bringing it back to your hometown where you grew up. Just for last Vancouver continues tonight. It’s a little bit slow. Let’s see Red Richardson is at the Review stage at seven, Catherine Blandford at that same venue at nine, a couple of local shows involving Canadian comedians. It’ll pick up more, some big names later in the week.
On Netflix Today, Some More as a new comedy special film at the Gordon Theater in Detroit. It’s Some More second for Netflix. In Chandelier Fly, she shares her takes on untimely death, celebrity scandals, and cell phone companies learning to mind their business. The Simpsons had their eight hundred episode. Show Runner Matt Selman said the show will never have a series finale.
They did a fake finale in season thirty six. Selman explains that was my way of saying, we’re never going to do a series finale. He hopes the last episode will just be a regular episode that is the family in it. Salmon says, if The Simpsons one Day does come to an end, it would just be a regular episode that is the family in it. Probably a little easter egg here and there, but no, I’m going to miss this place.
The show isn’t supposed to change. The characters reset every week. It’s like groundhog Day, but they don’t know it and they don’t die that much. And our one political thing today, the President of the United States commented on Bill Maher. The President took five hundred words on truth Social to call mister Marr a highly overrated lightweight.
It is believed that the President of the United States was inspired by Bill Mahr’s February thirteenth episode of Real Time. On It, Bill Maher mockingly read a February ninth Truth Social post from the President of the United States, in which the President of the United States discussed a potential trade deal between Canada and China, claiming that China would terminate all ice hockey being played in Canada and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup. Mar was confused and asked the question why would China destroy hockey? On a February fourteenth post on truth Social the President of the United States said he was not being serious when he made a statement about hockey. The President went on to say it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House, the jerk in question being a Bill Maher.
The President wrote, sometimes in life you waste time tvOS. Bill Maher asked me to have dinner with him through one of his friends, also a friend of mine. I agreed. He came into the famed Oval office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had zero all caps confidence in himself and assuthe his nerves immediately within seconds asked for a vokatnic.
He said to me, I’ve never felt like this before. I’m actually scared. In one respect, it was somewhat endearing anyway. We had a great dinner, was quick, easy, and it seemed to be a nice guy. And for his first show after our dinner.
He was very respectful of our meeting. But with everything I’ve done in bringing our country back from oblivion all Caps, why shouldn’t he be in any event, It was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House, and last night, after explaining what a disaster all Caps Canadian leaders are to deal with, how Canada has ripped off the United States for years on trade all Caps, but not anymore, I jokingly said in a truth that the first thing China will do is terminate all ice hockey being played in Canada and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup. Trump wrote that mar went on and on about the hockey statement, like what kind of person would say such a foolish thing as this, as though aways being serious when I said it. Fortunately, his television ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various fake news statements about me. He’s no different than Kim ol Follon or Colbert, but I must admit slightly more talented.
Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated lightweight All Caps and Republicans should stop using him to show how the left is coming off or our way, our base the greatest of all time. Laughs at your weakness. When you do it, that sounds like the way Klingons would speak. We laugh at your weakness. Mar asked me if you could come back to the White House again with his friend.
Also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t. Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time making America great again than wasting it on him. Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement syndrome TDS exclamation point, and there’s nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease. Thank you for your attention to this minor matter. President DJT.
CNN interviewed Bill Maherr. They posted the interview on Saturday. Mar was asked if Trump texts him. Mar said yes, yelling at me. This was a few hours after the Truth social post.
Ma argues that Trump is very different in person, and then everyone who’s ever met him says the same thing. Not true. Comedy needs for today. Thank you, George Lopez, See you guys tomorrow.
