Caloroga Shark Media. I’m grouchy today. You ever just wake up grouchy for no reason? Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News, Mike, Grouchiness is not your problem. John Stewart and Pete Davidson will mark the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven with a charity show at Madison Square Garden.

It is called NYC Still Rising after twenty five years Colon, a nine to eleven charities comedy benefit. It will be on September tenth. Headliners include John Stewart, Pete Davidson, Dave Chappelle, The Not So Canceled Disease, I’m Sorry, Bill Burr, just back from the Riyadh Comedy Festival, Ronny Chieng, Nikki Glaser, Josh Johnson, and quote many more yet to be announced performers. Five years ago, they did NYC Still Rising after twenty years, a comedy celebration at that show. Chappelle, Burr, Ronny Chieng, Amy Schumer, Mulaney, Fallon, Wanta Sykes, Colin, jos Michael Chake, calling Quin, David Tel, j Farrell, and thoms A Gora.

Pete Davidson’s father was killed on nine to eleven, FDNY firefighter Scott Davidson died responding to the World Trade Center attack. Last year, Pete Davison played the Rio Odd Comedy Festival. John Mulaney made a major announcement he was on the Today Show. Let’s let John tell you about it. Instead of doing one show in New York City or even three shows in New York City for my tour, I’m going to do a very special run nine different iconic New York City venues in nine Thank you very.

Much, all right, more to tales. Mullany takes Manhattan. The venues will range from the intimate to the massive. The stretch begins at the Comedy Seller and works its way up the dates. Write this down.

You got a pen, you could just hit rewind, you know, January seventh at the Comedy Seller, than the Blue Note on the eighth, Joe’s Pub on the ninth, Bowery Ballroom on the tenth, the Music Box Theater on Broadway on January eleventh, than the Beacon Theater January twelfth, Bernegie Hall, the thirteenth, Radio City, the fourteenth, Madison Square Garden the fifteenth. That is great news. If you host a daily podcast about comedy and you find January’s to be slow. Stavros Alkias will have a new special on Netflix September eighth. It is called Uncle Stove, taped recently at the Lyric in Baltimore, Maryland.

You may recall Stavros was going to tape this back in April, but had to push it back. He was recovering from a broken arm. No details on the story yet other than you can watch it September eighth on your Netflix. Comedy Dynamics has a deal with Jeff Dunham to distribute his new stand up special, which is titled Jeff Dunham’s two hundred and fiftieth Red, White, and Blue Birthday Special. That a celebration of America’s two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

Ways you can celebrate America’s Birthday, of course, included going to a UFC fight at the White House like Maga, comedian Aperghazzy, or putting out a comedy special shot entirely on iPhones. Jeff Dunham special sees him celebrate America alongside puppet Bells, Walter Peanut, Akamed, and Bubba Jay. Are we just calling the character Akmed? Now? Have we dropped the the terrorist part of the character.

I gotta do some research on that. Hold on, all right, chat Gibt tells me. Jef Dunham still introduces the character as Akhimed the dead terrorist. However, I’m told in specific countries because of local censorship or cultural sensitivities. For example, in Malaysia, Jef Dunham has performed the character as Jacques Meherd, the dead French terrorists.

That’s all sorts of interesting. The special is currently available on YouTube. It have become available for streaming on Prime, Apple, DirecTV and elsewhe are starting October sixth. Dunham told Deadline as July fourth got closer and closer and the material kept growing and getting funnier, I thought, we have to shoot a special. With the help of six iPhones and some of the best geeks I know.

We did it and folks are loving it. Gaybe Iglesias is getting another Netflix special, his tenth. He’ll film it in San Antonio. On Instagram, Fluffy showed off his new Chihuahua puppy Bronco, before saying I have a new comedy special that I’m going to be recording August twentieth, and I wanted to let you know the city I’m doing it in. It should come as no surprise.

We’re supposed to do it there the first time. San Antonio. San Antonio has been waiting five years for Gabe had to cancel some tour dates back in twenty twenty one after he caught COVID. Jimmy Fallon is being accused of being a hack. When I was going through social media, I saw Late Night Er posted Jimmy Fallon may have just earned a spot on Late Night or his year end best jokes list.

I will play the joke for you in a second. But then others suggested it’s not that original. Here’s Jimmy Fallon’s joke. Oh get this. I saw that a man in the UK just broke a world record by swallowing fifteen fish sticks in one minute.

Oh gross, how did you even find him? What a pervert? Jeez, that’s disgusting. As a family show, I thought, ugh, sticks, fish sticks? Okay, you get the joke there, you get the wordplay.

However, a bro Bible points out that that wordplay is at least seventeen years old. It showed up in a season thirteen episode of South Park titled fish Sticks that episode co written by Bill Hayter, I’m going to deliberately slam the words together. In that episode, Cartman and Jimmy are writing a joke that becomes a viral sensation. Jimmy asks Cartman if he has any snacks. Jimmy says there might be fish sticks in the freezer.

The dialogue Jimmy, do you like fish sticks? Cartman? Yeah? Do you like putting fish sticks in your mouth? Yeah?

Jimmy then asks, what are you a gay fish bro? Bible says fish sticks isn’t any old episode of South Park. It’s widely considered to be one of the top five or ten best in the history of the series. Ricky Gervais is all excited about Ali Katz, his animated series about cats, coming to Netflix in August. It features a group of feral felines.

Derve says recording the show is his dream job and did’d like to keep working on it for the rest of his life. He voices Gus, the cat in the show. He told The Daily Mirror, It’s the first thing I’ve ever created that I’d like to go on forever. I could see myself just making the show till I die. The cats won’t age, and it doesn’t matter how fat and old and bald I get.

Someone could just put me in a chair with a microphone, surrounded by the rest of the cast. Then off we go. Won’t really matter when sanility kicks in, as I’m usually talking bs anyway, it’s the dream job, hey, Ricky, By then your AI clone will be pretty good. We don’t even need you. Ricky assumes people will complain about the show, and he said it would take a very special kind of person to complain about what a fictional cartoon cat thought of something, but it will happen.

Please don’t be offended by anything these characters say or do. They can’t help it. They’re cats. Ricky says he’s always been obsessed with cats, and the show was inspired by his own pet, Pickles. Ricky said, I’ve never understood cruelty to animals.

I think most people have empathy toward animals, but it has to be nurtured and encouraged. I was born into it. My family loved animals and grew up on a household with dogs and cats. Cats are the only animals to domesticate themselves. They just wandered into humanity one day and said feed me that happened about ten thousand years ago in Egypt, where they were worshiped as gods.

As everyone knows, they’ve never forgotten this. I’ve been obsessed with cats my entire life. They’re cool, funny, cuddly, violent, and indifferent. Offen all on the same minute Alley Cats, Netflix, August seven. Fans of the Opie and Anthony radio show may find this one interesting.

You may recall after Anthony had some career troubles. I can’t get into that, I teach a radio college class and we do two straight weeks on Opie and Anthony and how Anthony blew up his career for a while.

And then you may recall Jim Norton did a show with Opie, OPI and Jim show.

Well, now Jim Norton is teaming up with Anthony. Here’s Jim Norton to tell you about it. Hi, I’m Jim Norton. Oh, I’m Anthony Coomia, and we’re. Doing a show together.

I guess the Anthony and Jim thing on the background kind of tells them that. That’s what it says. If you look at the monitor, which I’m trying not to do. It’s very difficult, isn’t it. It’s so difficult.

But I had to have you on the left because first of all, it’s the only time I’ll ever see that, and second of all, because on Ona you were alway. Opie was always across. You were always on the left, And it’s just I’m used to talking to you like. That, is true? Yes, Yes, that we had our little side of the desk.

Ope was behind the board. Yeah. We were making funny yeah, making jokes and getting in trouble. We would have done this a year, like, as soon as I was done with Sirius and I was allowed to, we would have started this. Yeah, but you know, you lived in the South and I’m in New York, and it just became logistically difficult.

But we’re gonna we’re gonna do an episode every other week on YouTube, and we are going to have in the weeks in between, we’re gonna have Patreon episodes. Yeah, which is sometimes we love guests, sometimes it’ll be just me and you. Okay, So according to Norton, episode one will be on the YouTube channel. It’s Tuesday, August fourth, and then there’s some Patreon stuff and I don’t know, just put it on a podcast feed and I’ll listen to it. Dude, don’t make it hard.

I want to congratulate the agents of Rick Glassman. Now you’re like, who exactly Rick Glasman somehow got a fluff piece in the Hollywood Reporter. So great job, agents, publicist, everybody getting this done. We are told Rick Glassman has built a strong following with his podcast to Take Your Shoes Off, where these upcomics he’s interviewing celebrity guests as almost the perfect first date. Have you heard of this thing?

Do you host a podcast in your basement and google comedy and comedian every single day of your life and this has never hit your radar? Apparently there’s three hundred and sixty eight episodes of this in the most recent one has one hundred and nine one thousand views. That’s Late Night with Seth Byer’s Territory Buddy. Anyway, Glassman tells The Hollywood Reporter, somehow there’s flirting involved, and flirting doesn’t have to have romantic interest. Flirting to me is similar to reports.

Hey, you nudge a little, you push a little, and you let them do the same. Glassman says, I love when people come on for a second time on the podcast, especially if they want to get high for the occasion, don’t do your podcast high. Glassman explains, I had a good time with you the first time. Let’s see what it’s like when we’re extra silly again. Congratulations to the agents and the ensemble who somehow got that piece for it did.
