Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Joenni Mack with your Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. I’ve kind of given up on Rooster. I liked the first episode, Episode two was not as good, and then the third episode last week made me give up on the show. My wife agrees with me.
Robbie Hoffman now on the show, she says she botched every interaction she had with Steve Carell. Robbie explained, I botched it every time he said hi to him because it’s impossible not to be starstruck with him, and he’s such a classy man. I have my brother going to jask about the office? Did you ask? And it’s like, I can’t really just be asking about the office.
But finally I asked about the office. I literally had to say, Hey, my brother loved you in the office. I’m sad that I don’t like it because I like Corell, I like Bill Lawrence, I love McGinley. Just didn’t work for me. Nate Pergetzi famously a clean comedian.
He said he didn’t always surround himself with a clean comedian. He said, it’s kind of like school, you just find your group that you’re kind of going to be with. Really, my group, I was the closest to with the dirtiest comedians, Big Jay Okerson, Louis J. Gomez, Dan Soder was the dirtiest. I’d open for them, he explains, though my mind didn’t go the root of writing that kind of way, and I never wanted to make someone feel bad in the crowd.
He recalled one time he made a joke about prostitutes getting murdered by a serial killer in New York. He said, it worked very much on a young comic. It works very much in those rooms.
And then I didn’t put it up on YouTube, but it got put up on YouTube.
A prostitute saw it and was upset. Nate said, look, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it was going to go up. I won’t do that joke again. Jim Gaffigan will be the keynote speaker at the NACDS Foundation.
They’re holding their twenty eighth Annual Foundation Dinner August fifteenth at the Omniboston Hotel at the Seaport. The event gathers industry leaders to support the foundation’s mission of advancing public health and promoting healthier communities. Kevin Nealan was in the headlines kind of bragging that he never broke character on SNL. He said, I knew much time the writer’s putting all those scripts. You don’t want to be the one who throws it off.
Michael’s doesn’t like when the cast breaks. Even if the audience laughs, it doesn’t work for the sketch. If you want to example that, watch the famous more cow Bell sketch TIV follons kind of losing in the background. Chiechin’ Chong’s Last Movie will be added to Paramount Plus on April twentieth, four to twenty. If you’re in the know, Cheiach and Chong’s Last Movie follows two of comedy’s best buds on a long, laugh fill drive to a place called the Joint.
Along the way, they reflect on their lifelong friendship from childhood to the heights of their careers in the sixties through the eighties, and beyond their breakup, and exploring how their counterculture stoner humor evolved in a brand that stands strong over fifty years later, with the catalog of movies, pack concerts, platinum selling records, and even a mobile game. Interspersed is archival footage, moments from the do, on screen and on stage, animations, interviews and more. I got to remember, I’ve been talking about how I’ve been reflecting on people I’ve met over the years. I met these guys. I’m going to add them to my little note here that I’m making, just as I randomly remember that I’ve met people.
I’m just putting them in a notepad on my MacBook. I don’t know what I’m doing with this, but I just like to keep lists. The Eastern Chronicle caught up with Alid the topic how to have the best day ever in Houston. I’ve never been to Houston, so I can’t comment on this. Seven thirty in the morning, he runs a few miles, at least three miles at Tom Bass Park.
If we’re not doing the full six and a half miles, that’s a good solid run. At eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls and meetings to start the day. Now, what happens between seven? So if he runs six and a half miles at a reasonable clip, and he starts at seven point thirty, he would be done by nine o’clock almost definitely sooner than that, I guess he goes home and showers. Then eleven fifteen he starts taking phone calls and meetings to start the day.
At one o’clock, he visits the reggae bodega. At four o’clock, you go to the grocery store. At six, he hugs his daughter after school. At eight thirty, he goes to see his mom. He walks the dog.
Mom lives down the street. All right, that works out. At nine to thirty, he eats dinner with his wife and kids. He hopes his wife is making enchiladas. If she’s making enchiladas, I’m all in.
My wife is great enchiladas. We have a late day, and at midnight he passes out on the couch for a little while watching sports. So if I’m getting this right, you get up and you run, you have some menchaladas, and you pass out on the couch watching sports. We’re more alike than I realized. What do you say?
We hit Bill Burr’s Facebook page and see what’s going on. Oh, here’s a post. Bill is posted live at south By Southwest is available now on YouTube. Okay, let’s see what people are saying in the comments about Bill Burr. Jonathan wrote, Billy Blood money is all gas, no brakes.
Keith roat my jokes are paid for with blood money. Dave says bonesaw, Bill has some observations. Paru said bagdad Bill is on fire. Eric said it’s Billy Burka. Gabriel got right to it and said go back to Saudi Arabia, you ef ing sellout.
Now, that’s not Gabriel Iglacias. It’s a different Gabriel. Jared posted Bill, I was very disappointed at the North Korea show. Can you please respond to my refund email? Bill Burr did not help his career going to Riodd.
A lot of comedians went nothing happened, but Bill Burr, for some reason of everybody, seems to have taken on the most damage of that. Donal Rawlings became emotional while reflecting on the loss of Charlie Murphy. Donnelle was on the Wei in Miami podcast. He was asked about Charlie Murphy passing away in twenty seventeen. Donnelle said it was very difficult because it was like the big brother that I never had.
He also shared an anecdote, the only time I ever saw Charlie show any emotion other than being a super hard tough guys. When he was losing his wife, he cried on the phone with me. I’ve never seen him emotional, vulnerable or anything. It was weird. Charlie’s wife, Tisha Taylor Murphy, passed away of cervical cancer in December two thousand and nine.
From The Times Union, a Saratoga Springs hatshop interaction became a standout moment and Chris Fleming’s HBO special, turning former clerk Randy Jackson into an unexpected character. Jackson until The Times Union Chris Fleming was unfortunately correct. I’m definitely sort of an old lady trapped in a young man’s body. The jazz age, flapper of it all has never left me. On the day Chris Flemmings special premiered, Jackson woke up to a message from a high school classmate.
The mess told Jackson that Chris Fleming had dedicated a length excitement of his new special to an interaction he had with the hat salesman. Jackson said, it was so funny. Jackson reached out to Chris Flemming over Instagram to let him know he love the biddy said I found him, and I said, I’m the ancient hat boy, I’m the Ancient Demon. Charlie Burns will perform at the twenty twenty six Lumberjack World Championships. Athletes from around the globe will compete in twenty one events that test strength, agility, balance and precision.
Spectators can expect thrilling competitions including log rolling, boom running, shopping, sawing, ax throwing, and speed climbing shoecasing the elite skills of professional timber sports athletes. The New York Times under the headline at dinners over jokes with comedians Epstein, Yeah, that Epstein honed his networking. They dove into the file and apparently Jeffrey Epstein sought relationships with comedians. The New York Times reports in twenty fourteen, Jeffrey Epstein wanted a bunch of comedians to join him for dinner at an Italian restaurant on the Upper east Side. Chris Rock was high in his list.
David Brynner was it, probably then a yes, then ultimately in no. He was under the weather. Lewis Black was not to be invited. Apparently Jeffrey Epstein had not found Lewis Black funny when he had come over a year earlier, Chris Rock said no because he had plans with his daughter. Bobby Slayton emailed Jeffrey Epstein ahead of the dinner and said, now the pressure’s on me to carry all the funny unless Woody decides to chip in.
The Woody believed to be Woody Allen, The New York Times reminds us none of the comedians have been accused of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and nothing an email suggests that meeting women was part of the rationale for the gatherings. The New York Times further reminds us Epstein was an earnest fan of comedy who attended shows in Manhattan, Palm Beach and Montreal. Jackie the joke Man Martling is quoted here as saying, Jeffrey Epstein told Jackie over a meal, anybody that’s really smart loves jokes because they’re little problems and the way they work themselves out. Further reporting from The Times. After one dinner in twenty five fifteen, Jeffrey Epstein emailed Nick Depolo, writing, thanks for coming last night.
If okay with you, I will contact you on my return to New York. Topoulo wrote back, give me a little time to process that last part. As you know, you’re a bit of a controversial guy. I mean no offense by that at all, l ol. The Time says to Polo did not reply to request for comment, Neither did Rock Allen, Lewis Black, or Jackie Martling.
Times further says Lewis Black, Slayton, and Jackie have said in interviews that they never saw Epstein hanging out with underage girls. Layton told a Daily Beast reporter he felt obliged to visit and let’s not wrap up on that story. Let me get a little silly here. I’m worried about Tim Meadows. Why worried about Tim Meadows?
Johnny mack Well. Tim Meadows says his funniest friend is Adam Sandler. Why why there’s nothing funny about the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler. How do you find him funny? Tim Meadows?
Who? Again, I’ve never met Tim Meadows. What I’m worried about you now? Tim Meadows said it. I know a lot of very funny people, but Sadler, I think for me is the funniest because I’ve known him so long.
We have a really good friend. We have bits that we do with each other from thirty years ago. Then you create new bits whenever you hang out with them. He loves to laugh and he loves to do bits. I think he’s one of the funniest people I know, just in terms of talking and hanging out.
We can be ourselves with each other, all right, So maybe he’s like really funny in person. That just doesn’t translate to anything on say Saturday Night Live or movies. All right, that makes sense. I’m less worried about tim Meadows now. I wait, I should have kept reading.
I’m worried about tim Meadows again, he said. I always say there’s very few people from SNL I would drive across the country with. But David Spade is probably in my top three or four people that I could do that with. To each their own. And that is your comedy news for today.
I’ll see tomorrow.
