Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s all wish Mosha Casher some good luck. He’s been diagnosed with tonsil cancer. He revealed this on Instagram on Father’s Day.
He said, three months ago, I found a bump on my tonsil. It was cancer, which did not rule so hard. On Friday, he underwent a procedure in La Mosha. Kasher joke that a Jewish surgery robot at Cedar SINAI yanked my jaw open for five years and cut it out, and then slit my throat and I sected my neck, leaving me with a hardcore neck scar which will make people reluctant to street fight me. He said his tongue was clamped and yanked out of his mouth.
It’s so swollen and bruised. I sound like I am Sam. Referring to Sean Pennon’s character, Kasher wrote, this has been the most terrifying and consciousness consuming experience of my life. My life has been terror, meditation, tears, and medical planning. Oh and twelve hours days on set pitching jokes.
I truly cannot believe I managed to work an entire movie while dealing with this, but Judd Apatite presumably could not have been more kind, supportive, and nurturing friend, all while being on the verge of a five hour energy overdose from this terrifying habit. Casher said, I’m in pain, but the good news is the cancer I have has an incredibly high curate in the ninety five percent zone. He’s waiting to hear if he needs radiation, but regardless, I will be okay and back to being a cool dude asap. He joked that the good news is that he was diagnosed with the type of cancer you get from sex. He encouraged his followers to get checked and to vaccinate their kids, writing HPV positive tonsil cancer as an epidemic in men under fifty five.
He and his wife, Natasha Lazeiro recorded in an episode of their Endless Honeymoon podcast. Right before the surgery. Casher said, thanks to Natasha and all my wonderful friends who have been so supportive. I woke up on that operating table so flooded with emotions and gratitude for my life and the gift of consciousness. I can’t wait to get back to work, but for now, I breathe, I walk, I eat, I survive.
I live.
Also feel terrible for Sebastian Maniscalco, who The Wall Street Journal tell…
This sounds very serious. I wonder if Sebastian made a stupid face for the camera. While talking to the Wall Street Journal, they were curious what his morning routine is like when he’s not on the road. Sebastian said, like a lot of people, I look at social media for how to be a productive individual. I was setting my alarm for four thirty in the morning to work out and get everything out of the way.
Then I said to myself, why the hell am I getting up when I really don’t have to. I push my workout still later, and now I get up when my body tells me too. Usually around six thirty. I generally have two cups of coffee. Then the whole family gets in the car and goes to school.
I have two kids, seven and nine. That’s twenty two minute drive. Is great because they’re strapped in they can’t move, you can talk to them. I do a steam for twenty minutes, then jump in the cold plunge. My dad is like I’ve never done any of this, and I’m living to lady and I go, yeah, but you look like a grustacean.
So that was when the Wall Street Journal asked Sebastian Maniscalco, have you injured yourself telling jokes? Again? If you missed the lead story, Mosha Kasher has tonsil cancer and Sebastian Maniscalco has twice injured himself telling jokes. That’s right, he tells The Wall Street Journal. In Detroit around twenty seventeen, as I was leaving the stage, I kind of lean back and popped my calf.
I had to limp off and then be in a wheelchair the next day at the airport. Then a year and a half ago, I snapped the other calf doing a joke at the Winn in Las Vegas. This was mid set, and I mentioned it to the crowd because I had to be stationary. It’s not like I’m playing football, But when you’re jumping and leaping and doing this, that and the other on stage, then going to the next city and sleeping in a different bed, it all wears and tears on your body. Boy, being a comedian is just so hard.
You gotta feel bad for Sebastian Maniscalco, and of course mush Casher. Now somebody who actually plays football is Travis Kelcey, and TMZ tells us Travis kelce gave off bachelor party vibes in San Diego. On Sunday night, Travis and his posse went to see Dave Chappelle perform, and then TMZ captured the Kelcey and crew leaving on their very own part party bus. On the party bus was Jason Kelcey with other quote eight other athletic looking dudes. It is unclear to me if Dave Chappelle did any transgender jokes and if Travis Kelcey laughed at them.
I will investigate and let you know. TMZ also reports on Saturday night, a massive fireworks display pomped off outside the Ocean House near Taylor Swift’s estate in Rhode Island. Rumors are they will get married July third. The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor honoring Bill Maher. That’s right, I said Bill Maher, And you’re like, John, did you say Bill Maher?
The script is wrong? No, it’s Bill Maher. The Mark Twain Prize for American Humors, honoring Bill Maher and it will air on Netflix on July twenty first. Now, you may recall last year they honored Conan O’Brien and a whole bunch of people, including dramatic actor Adam Sandler, were there and was great, Well, here’s who’s going to be this one. Well, there’s an update on who’s coming for Bill Maher.
The event itself takes place June twenty eighth at the newly unrenamed Kennedy Center. Guests will include Louis C. K not So Canceled, Whitney Cummings, Woody Harrelson, Hariana Huffington, Jay Leno, John Mellencamp, and Stephen A. Smith. The greats of comedy will be there.
Yes. Roma Darvi is the VP of Public Relations at the newly unrenamed Kennedy Center. Roma said, We’re delighted to once again partner with Netflix to bring the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the nation’s most prestigious comedy honor, to audiences everywhere. Comedy fans will have a front row seat to an evening of comedic candor not to be missed. Ricky Gervas is out and about hawking his new animated comedy series Allie Katz, created, directed and co produced by Ricky Gervais.
Alli Katz has a roster being described as the Avengers of British comedy. Ricky himself plays Guss, a fat, lazy, rude and opinionated creature with things. Diane Morgan, who some podcasters have a crush on, plays Olive. David Earl plays Puke, Tom Basden as Aunts, Carry Godlman as Lara, Aaron Brook is fing and Joe Harley is kitting. So again people are calling Tom Basden it, Carrie Godlman, Andrew Brook and Joe Harley the Avengers of British comedy.
Not sure how I feel about that. I feel like last one Laughing UK had better casts regardless. The series features a bold two D animation style. There is a trailer. I’ll play a bit of it before it starts to get a little too naughty for this program?
Hi going? How are we? Hungry? Tired? Full of hate and fury?
Were cats? So am I? And I’m none of those things? Sorry I should have said we’re cats with balls blocks? You heard of them?
Clever? What’s the plan for the day? Try to find the kids home? I get distracted, immediately kill something. What’s the biggest thing we could take down if we work together?
Don’t fuck it? Yes, bags wagon, fack you. Ellie Kats will be on Netflix this August. The series follows the trials and tribulations of a group of feral British cats who see companionship while ruminating about the struggles of everyday life.
Speaking of LUK, Alan Carr shared that he had one last unused weapon to break…
Alan Carr said he was sad they cut out one of Sam Campbell’s maneuvers, which was by hiding a stretching man toy in Alan Carr’s drink that was edited out. Carr said he would put it everywhere he put the cup and I looked down, I’d say this little man. They’re idiots for cutting that. It was so funny and nearly caught me out. Campbell then said, I probably definitely shouldn’t say this, but you know what I heard.
They had doppelgangers of every person in the show waiting a Carr, who was one of the first comedians eliminated, confirmed it and said they did. I was sitting in there with Jimmy Carr and you and David Mitchell were going on and on. I know people think it’s produced, but we’re there to like nearly midnight. Weren’t wait, none of you were cracking.
And then they said, how can we do it?
Then they were like, we’ve got doppelgangers. Jimmy was going show, we bring out the doppelgangers. Every one of us had a doppelganger on hand just to come in. So I wonder what yours would have looked like, and I wonder what mine would have looked like. Boy, that’s really interesting.
I would have loved to have seen that. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention I got some nice comments over the weekend for the Saturday Longer Deep Dive episodes, so thank you for that. Appreciate that. And I was sitting out poolside on Sunday evening. I wrote a couple more of those and might actually record one right after this.
Remember that show outside tonight. This is YouTube’s big a play for a late night talk show. I told you that it had six thousand views. I checked back on Monday around noon. It now has twelve thousand views.
Deadline was speaking to Jay Leno. They said, your take on Late Night has gotten you spanked more than a few times, Jay Leno, as well as calling you a hypocrite almost a decade ago over your Monica Lewinsky jokes in the nineteen nineties and your calls for civility. John Oliver in particular, has taken you to the woodshed over your criticism of Late Night getting two partisan. It’s ironic because, let’s be honest, Jay Leno, you’re a Palo ex presidents, but you’ve been pretty political over the years with your singers too. Leno said, well, with John Oliver.
I did interview last year with the head of the Reagan Library about the humor of Ronald Reagan. Talked about having dinner with him a couple times and blah blah blah, the White House and stuff, and you know, just telling funny stories. One of the questions the interview asked me was like, how do you think you and Johnny handled politics? Well, we tried to make fun of both sides equally. You know, you humiliate degrade everybody equally, that’s it.
I mentioned the pressures of life and people coosing up to one side more than the other, and I said, I don’t think anybody wants to hear a lecture, Why go for just half an audience. He wanted me to say that Republicans laugh at each other more than Democrats, and I’m not sure I agreed anyway. This is all while Colbert is still out a job at CBS. Two weeks later, Colbert gets fired and the interview comes out soon after. I picked up the paper and they have a picture of me making an angry face and saying Lee Knight hosts are doing it wrong.
I didn’t say that, but John Oliver goes, hey, Jay Leno, fu F you for saying that about Colbert. But I never said that. That’s why I tend not to take any of it too seriously. I never mentioned another guy or being better or worse or anything. I think they all do a good job.
Funny is funny all the rest. It’s just the time we live in. That’s all deadline on the flip of that yet, Joe Biden on Jay Leno’s garage this week. You seem to like Biden, what kind of reaction you respect from the GOP and Mega Leno said, they all right, and I’ll never watch your program again. Yeah, I got it.
But here’s the thing. First of all, it’s free on YouTube. I don’t really care if you watch or not. You know, but there’ll be all these people. You know, they’ll go Biden’s a cryp blah blah that I just had his point of view on Trump.
It wasn’t the whole gamut whatever. It’s just us driving around. I don’t really worry about it. Like I said, we used to brag about the fact that Johnny and I would try to make fun of both size equally. Looks like that doesn’t work anymore.
The audience is all over the place. I think the most important thing is to remember funny is funny, Jimmy Kimmel making a strategic mistake and taking the entire summer off. We now know some of the ghosts hosts that include Coleman Domingo, Ike Barnholtz, returning hosts Anthony Anderson, Tiffany Hattish and Jelly Roll.
And now we’ve heard that Rosie O’Donnell will sit in Jimmy fallon.
Opportunity is yours, and that is your comedy news for today. Don’t forget to share the show. You could be like, hey, you gotta hear what this guy Jay Leno said, here, let me send you this episode, and you text it to your friend and then I don’t know, they listen to it. And that’s how this works. We’re sharing the show in June.
Otherwise, I play Amy Schumer singing and don’t think I won’t see it tomorrow
