Well, for a creator, a single entry award is four hundred and seventy five dollars, So ponder that as I tell you all this. There are so many categories.

Very Exciting the Webby Awards. Let’s Stay on the Internet. YouTube is coming back to the TV Upfront’s week. Trevor Noah will MC the twenty twenty six brand Cast presentation for advertisers. That’s right, it’s YouTube’s brand Cast.
Upfront returning to Lincoln Center in New York City invitation only, sorry, folks, Wednesday, May thirteenth, starting at five thirty pm. I didn’t make Trivia Night last night because I wanted to stay and to watch the Moon launch and then to see what the President of the United States had to tell us. So no trivia for me. Now. I don’t know if I could keep up with these other trivia guys.
These are the champions of Seinfeld Trivia, and they were profiled by The Wall Street Journal. The journal piece leads off with this question. In season one of Seinfeld, Jerry secures this apartment dour with what he calls the most impenetrable lock on the market. What brand is it? No Idea?
That’s when I look at my team and I go no idea, and I go back to drinking my beer. Well, Mike is one of these trivia guys. It’s good at Seinfeld Trivia. He told the Journal. It was almost like I’ve been waiting for this question to pop up.
The answer, of course, the clapgo. D twenty nine, Mike and four of his friends are on a team called Venetian Blinds. How do they practice? One of the team members falls asleep two episodes, hoping details stick in his head. Another listens to the show’s audio while working out and showering.
At one point, the team won. A six foot aluminum poll, among other prizes, that was part of a festiv Us theme trivia contest last December. One of the guys on the team, Joe, said, I feel like by the time I’m eighty years old, I’m gonna be the guy with the Seinfeld room. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her. She was on Instagram.
She revealed a swimsuit selfie. Fans notice she appears slimmer than ever following a reported fifty pound weight loss. We’re told that while wearing oversized sunglasses and her hair pulled back into a casual bun, Amy Schumer kept the look effortless and unfiltered.
Meanwhile, Kathy Griffin is now a blonde.
Fans weren’t sure did she dye her hair as at a wig. One person commented, what the hell is happening here? Kathy confirmed she had actually bleached her hair. She said, Hi, you guys, it’s Kathy Griffin as a blonde. She then encouraged people to check out her Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin YouTube show, where she discusses her decision to go blonde.
The worst person who ever lived? Jay Leno back in the news. Remember there was this whole thing. Jay Leno has been battling against California’s emissions regulators. Well, Leno’s law has found its way back into the state Senate.
Right now, California draws a hardline at nineteen seventy five. Anything built before nineteen seventy five can potentially sidesteps and smock testing requirements, providing it’s not like an everyday car and it’s just for like parades and car shows and stuff like jay Lena would do. Under the proposed changes to the law, the collector vehicle threshold would shift to any car at least thirty five years old, with the cutoff creeping ford one model year at a time until twenty twenty two. That would eventually move the exemption all the way up until nineteen eighty six. Doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.
At the Melbourne Comedy Festival, there’s a lot of magic shows during the daytime, so if you’re free on Friday again with the Melbourne stuff, I have to work a day ahead because of the way time zones work. But if you’re free round twelve thirty, go see Barry Potter and the Magic of Wizardry. That’s right, I said. Barry Potter witness Feats of Sorcery in person as a grown up wizard delves into an untold story. Edmundton Journal gave it five stars and called it incredible Kiddo mag four stars presumably out of four, they said fun and surprise filled.
Got a couple actual clips for you today. Dave Thornton’s show was called More or less Ny Gouz. There’s been a lot of her in my family about getting a dog, and look, I get it. I grew up with a dog. It’s great.
And like you dog owners, I reckon you speak more complimentary about your dogs than most parents talk about their kids, Like seriously, you say stuff like, uh, it’s my fur baby, it’s my fur baby. I call my kids my flesh beets not as nice. And the only thing is we live in a built up area. I saw the dogs around us. They’re small, which is fine, but they’re the kind of dogs you know that humans have bred them to just be structurally unsound, Like near us there’s a pug.
Okay, I’m sorry. Pugs just shouldn’t exist like that. You know, historically they used to have snouts. They did, We’ve now bred them to be nostrils straight into skull. Like this poor thing, it struggles to breathe.
I feel so sorry for it. It jumps up on your lap and it’s like and the owner’s like, oh, I think Toby likes you. I’m just thinking, yeah, well, if he was a car to be on roadworthyst. And let’s do one more. I think there might be a naughty word in here.
I can’t remember from when I pulled it earlier. There might be a naughty word, So if you’re offended, punch out now. But otherwise I really like this clip from Nathan Chin. His share was called the Chinese Comedy Party. Look, just before I begin, I just want to quickly start off by also acknowledging the traditional owners of the land in which we gather here today, the wandery people of the Cooler Nation, and I pay my respects to their elders, pass and present, but also have to acknowledge the true owners of the land, the Central Equity Chinese property group.
Pay my rent to their developers, pass and present. Ah, gotta say both, now you know what I mean, just in case they’re listening, because you know, I’m actually quite proud to be an Asian Australian. But it’s annoying because when I tell people I’m Aussie, I get the same response that so many people have Colla Gate, and that’s a yeah, sure, but where you’re really from? Right? And I think that’s it’s a really stupid question to ask me, considering that in about ten years time, this is what the average Australian will look like.
Right, Some of you they aren’t laughing at that. Ah, that’s a joke about the Chinese taking over Australia. Well, you know, maybe you don’t think he’s a joke, in which case you really should appreciate the freedom to laugh where you still can. How a on a plane, it sounds like a lot of fun, And don’t forget Today is the last day of voting for this week’s round of Comedy Survivor Sebastian manascalgo in Massive trouble. If you want him out, join the crew.
