Caloroga Shark Media. I love when a show comes together. I thought at one point I had nothing for today, and boy, did this come together. I’ve even got a story that’s got me all fired up for the second half. And Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News.
Let’s start with the headline I love this one. Comic rips nice guy Nateperghatzy for partying with fascists. It’s w come out Bell, and he is among the people not happy with Nate Berghatzy. Belle put out a substack post on Monday with the title it is so easy not to do this. It comes with a suggested list of rules to follow for those who are quote confused when they are judged for their own actions.
Bell writes, the rules are so simple, people seem to forget them so often, so I’ve decided to write them out. The easiest way to not be photographed with fascists is not to go to places where fascists coagulate. If you do go to out to a place where fascists are coagulating, then you better have a good reason, like a John Brown and Glorious Bastard’s good reason. Bell writes, no one cares on much you wanted to see the fights at the White House. The White House is currently registered as the home of a fascist.
Again, send your letters to w comeout. Bell. The only reason Donald Trump loves the UFC is because UFC CEO Dana White runs the UFC just like Trump wants to run the country like a dictatorship. Bell continues, Stop being surprised when people who think you are a nice person are totally mummed out when you reveal yourself to be team fascism. You were smarter than that.
If not, then go back to the top and reread this list again. Bell continues, Look, I get it. I’ve been in some pictures with people I regret. The difference is I regret being in those pictures. He then shared a photo with Joe Rogan from twenty fourteen.
Speaking of Rogan, Rogan tell the story from backstage at the UFC event. Rogan was a little stressed there could be some terror at the event. Quoting Rogan, I said to Trump, I go, I hope we don’t die in a terrorist attack, and he goes, we gotta go somehow, Rogan said, I go, what the f do Carlos Mencia his attorneys demanded his immediate release from bail. They fired an emergency motion. You may recall Carlo Simancia was arrested at his home.
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hotchman had announced a twelve count felony tax emission against Carlos Mencia and branded him quote one of California’s biggest tax scoff laws. In a motion file to set bail, the defense accused the prosecutors of turning a financial dispute into a publicity stunt designers showcase the district Attorney’s new unit. The motion was obtained by the California Post that’s the West Coast spinoff of the New York Post, and apparently it reads that no one argues against the obligation to pay taxes, but the raid at his home with multiple law enforcement agents screaming search warrant with a bullhorn and drawing guns was an absurd show of force for the alleged offenses that do not involve weapons, drugs, or violence. They also said that Mencia’s incarceration was inflicting severe financial Harmy had to cancel a few comedy shows that may have cost him as much as forty thousand dollars in lost income. They argued that Carlos Mencia is not a flight risk.
They submitted character letters from longtime friends, one of which is Nicole Nicky Rosensen, who worked with Carlos Mencia on the comedy Central Mind of Mencia. Rosenson wrote, it is important to me that Carlos’s character is not reduced to a singular thing. He’s a loving father and a loyal, kind friend. Roywood Junior will be in Pittsburgh this weekend at the Dve Comedy Festival. He’s hoping to catch the first four innings of the Saturday four o’clock Pirates game before his eight o’clock comedy show.
He said, the plans to catch a few innings even if Skeens isn’t pitching. My debate in Pittsburgh is always rested versus recreation. There’s so much fun stuff to do there. Talked about his time at the Daily Show. It was a good time.
I didn’t get the pleasure of getting to work under John Stewart, so I can’t speak to whatever the workflow is over there now, but just to be able to be part of building some degree of awareness of what’s happening in the world and try to inform people. I think you take that a little seriously. Michael Jay announced a new stand up special he posted on Instagram. He told his followers He’ll be promoting a stand up special in like two months. But I don’t really do a lot of press.
So what are the platforms that people f with now? Late Nier says. Then came a process of elimination, with Chay writing Rogan’s finish right, Shannon Sharp probably just gonna ask me about other people the train one, I already did hot ones. What’s the new hot platform pairaphrasing there. This would be Michael Cha’s first special since twenty twenty one’s Michael Cha Shamed the Devil, which, if I remember correctly, was Okay, okay, this is the one that’s got me a little fired up.
Johnny Max’s gonna get a little political here. Send your letters to Johnny Mac. In an interview with The Financial Times, former Disney CEO Bob Iger commented about when they took Jimmy Kimmel off the air after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Was that move politically motivated? Iiger says that was not the case.
We thought it was in bad taste. Johnny Mac says, sure, Jan okay, let me set up the table for you. I’m going to replay what Kimmel actually said, but let me set up the table for you. Let me remind everybody on September tenth, Charlie Kirk was murdered. On September eleventh, The New York Daily News quotes Elon Musk, who you may recall, was working on something called douge.
Elon Musk tweeted, the left is the party of murder. ABC News September fourteenth reported on Republican Senator Lindsey Graham appearing on Meet the Press. They quote Graham is saying he saw Kirk’s murder as quote, an effort by the radical left to dehumanize the Mega movement. Now, in this new piece, Bob Iger says, of Jimmy Kimmel, we just wanted him to acknowledge that it was an ill timed and probably inappropriate comment. Let’s listen to what Jimmy Kimmel actually said, and remember the two quotes that I just read to you.
And here is a longer clip from Jimmy Kimmel that puts the line in context. We hit some new lows over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and do everything they can to score political points from and in between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the President is taking this back. Indulge it down a lot of your friend Charlie Kirk mans Sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir, I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.
They’ve just started construction of the new borrel for the White House. Send your letters to Johnny Mac David Letterman fans, we are excited. Worldwide Pants is teaming up with NBC Universal and whatever mrzigo is to expand distribution of more than six thousand episodes of Letterman on YouTube, Facebook and other platforms. Whoever Merzigo is. They are going to optimize Letterman’s archive of late night shows, starting with The greats Late Night with David Letterman and The Okay, The Late show with David Letterman, How do we get the morning shows?
Somebody’s gotta have the morning shows. Put the morning shows out. Walter Kim is Worldwide Pants executive producer for Digital and Walter Kim said, David Letterman’s unparalleled run in late night across four decades from his shows on NBC and CBS, contained six thousand hours of some of the most memorable television content in pop culture history. Johnny Mac will say most of that from the Late night years, Walter Kim said, As we continue to expand our distribution from these iconic moments on YouTube and Facebook, partnering with Mrzigo will enable us to better reach fans and new viewers across every platform and device, etc. Et cetera, et cetera.
Meanwhile, remember Stephen Colbert had a show Do you miss it? You don’t be honest, You don’t be honest, Just be honest. I know we all like Stephen Colbert, but be honest, you be honest. May Recalla was canceled. Well, the writing team is trying to get an Emmy now CBS isn’t gonna help them, apparently, so they posted a homemade four year consideration video.
In it it says CBS is not doing an Emmy’s campaign for US so for strictly financial reasons. The Colbert Late Show writers made our own four year consideration video. Late Nighter points out that CBS has aired fyc ads in New York in LA supporting the show in general. Plus, CBS took out a fear consideration ad for The Late Show on the Hollywood Reporter site, with a link going of a page that listed all the writers. Colbert’s team has been nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series nearly every year of its run, says Late Nighter, but has not won.
Can I interest you in French Saturday Night Live? Canal Plus is readying now this again from Late Nighter Lay Saturday Night Live. Franseis, we don’t even translate the Saturday Night Live part like their actual title is like John mangling French Lay Saturday Night Live, Francie. Really, it is an official adaptation of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Late Nighter reports the project is expected to launch as a single special rather than a full episode order.
Francis tried this before. The previous attempt ended after one night that was in twenty seventeen. They even did a French language version of More Cowbell. Really hold On, somebody is gonna pause the recording and find that. Chat something.
Who’s that films. And from Deadline, Jermaine Clement says they might not be more Flight of the con Chords. He says, we haven’t been talking about making the TV show, but we just did some live shows for the first time in eight years at the Greek Theater. It was really fun. I loved it.
The idea of doing a film hangs around still, but we’re getting old now and that is your comedy news for today. It is June. So you’re gonna share the show. You’re gonna be like, hey, did you guys know there was French Cowbell and you’re gonna share the show with somebody. I don’t know how it works.
You tell me, because if you don’t do it, I’m going to play Amy Schumer singing and none of us want that. See tomorrow.
