The Shark Deck. I’m Jenny mac with your Daily Comedy News. I love this first one. Karen Morgan talked about some of the differences between Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and boomers in her latest stand up, but some people from gen Z get kind of sicks off at her. Morgan said, gen Z doesn’t how to write a check, they don’t know how to address an envelope, they don’t how to read cursive, they don’t how to read a paper map.
They can’t get anywhere unless there’s a GPS app on their phone. All I’m saying is, if gen Z takes over the world, it’s gonna be pretty easy to get it back, all right. Not the most clever material, not the most scathing material, but people did not react well. Content creator maxim Batty posted a response to morgan set that was viewed over ten million times. Maxim Batty said, bank transfers and emails are both faster than offline versions, and we’re trying to save the turtles by less paper waste.
Why are you people laughing. You’re a mother, You’re supposed to teach us these things. It’s your fault we don’t know it, and you’re laughing. At us all righty. Some gen Zers defended themselves in the comments.
One said probably asked her kids to set up her phone? Who seeing who? Another another comments could she even open a pdf? Or? How about this one?
Bro? Can she take a screenshot? Who? You gen Zers? And you’re hecklers?
Wow? Ouch? Here’s one more? Okay, change the TV from HDMI? Want to HDMI too?
Whoo yo, gen Z, relax, these are vicious. Gen Z’s not gonna do well. In Roast battle Man, a TikToker named Nicole made her own video saying boomers don’t know how to draft an email, or pay their bill online or save a pdf. That’s a lot of bold talk coming from somebody who probably still lists typing as a skill on their resume. Hey, we’re on LinkedIn.
We don’t have resumes. Creator Shamar Alien asked, well, do you know a hunt for your own food or churn butter? Why are you so scared to move on with the times? Are you still making your own food on an open fire outside because you refuse to use a stove? Is it too modern for you?
Who needs to know how to balance a checkbook? Boyen Morgan’s going to tick everybody off. She says of the silent generation, those born between nineteen twenty and forty, they’re scared of the microwave. She took a shot at the boomers, saying they perfected smoking and that everybody’s mad at millennials for avocado toast. Her summary, here’s all you need to know about gen X.
We don’t care. Oh that’s fun. I mentioned recently that I love The Wrath of Khan. Well, a new podcast I’m excited about, except for maybe one point. The Novelizers.
It’s a new podcast series that tests comedy writers to write chapters in a novelization of a movie. Season one takes on Star Trek to the Wrath of Khan. Well, that’s pretty cool. That’s in your wheehouse, John, Why are you not that excited about it? Andy Richter, who sit and I mean going back to honestly, was it N two when the Late Night shuffles happened and Andy Richter was Conan’s sidekick and Conan kind of took off after Andy left, and then Conan the Night Show and brought Andy Beck and that didn’t work out, and I don’t know.
Richter says The Novelizers is by far the best popular film turned into a novel, and then turned it into an audio play podcast that I’ve ever hosted. The Wrath of Khan is a perfect subject for the first season of the Novelizers because it is well loved, indelibly imprinted on our collective consciousness, and also deeply silly and ripe for comedy. Each episode includes two chapters from the movie, with each adapting a key scene, each one written by a different writer. Each chapter has a different narrator. The first is narrated by Christina Chung, who plays a descendant of Connunian sing on Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
Don’t start me on that one. I could do two hours on my Star Trek podcast that I haven’t created yet. Why that was a terrible idea. The character is fantastic, except the character is Khan’s niece for some reason. Look, I already went into the Die tribe.
You don’t care. The second chapter from the first episode narrated by h John Benjamin us known for something called Bob’s Burgers. Yeah, all right, so this is part of the Bob’s Burgers conspiracy. John, what are you talking about? Two questions for you, dear listener.
First, have you ever actually seen Bob’s Burgers. You haven’t. Second, have you ever met anyone who’s seen bobs Burgers? You haven’t. I know there’s merch, I know there’s promos.
I know you hear Joe Buck talking about it during football games, But have you ever actually watched Bob’s Burgers? No? John Benjamin Off is part of the hoax and h John Benjamin also the star of the really terrible Star Trek short Trek The Trouble with Edward Again. I might have to start a Star Trek podcast and just go off in this stuff. You don’t care.
Other narrators Felicia Day, Wayne Brady, and Patton Oswalt. That’s pretty cool. Each episode features fake behind the scenes interviews by Kevin Carter, including ones with the Slug Consultant and William Shatner’s Body Double Season one ten episodes. I think two episodes were already available when I grabbed it on my app. Hey, if you’re missing late night well SETH Meyers and John Oliver will tour together.
They’ll play New York City’s Beacon Feeder on August seventeenth. John Oliver’s TV show has been off the air since April thirtieth, seth Meyers his last at a new episode on May first, starting to see a lot of press for John Earle’s upcoming special that’ll be out on Max they former HBO Max. On June seventeenth, The Cut did a pretty lengthy profile with John Early and saying John is best known from Search Party, which brought him enough stability to buy a house, but not to become a household name, and a bunch of near misses. A Hulu series which he worked on for years, which came to nothing. A John and Cap Berlant web series five five five was a weird, wonderful cult hits but only available on Vimeo.
Now Here, he comes with the full force of HBO behind him, an amplified queer voice. Amplified Early said, I’ve been in the shower and found myself defending the special that hasn’t come out. I’ve completely fabricated tweets of fake people who don’t exist, who have problems with certain elements in my special. I’ve been in a constant dialogue with them. The Cut rights the imaginary critics will find plenty to debate.
The special now, more than ever, leads into a vicious anthropology of millennial Moore’s Early is at his best, a comedian of manners whose particular bugbears are cliche, one being I don’t know how to do my taxes, but I do know how to be a badass. Time and again, Early interrupts himself to break in a song accompanied by a bandoned pair of backup singers. Early lunches and it covers including tweets, Oops, Britney Spears, Overprotected, and the Dolly parton Linda Ronstadt Emmy Lou Harris. After the gold Rush, Early says, this is the first time I kind of funny let myself just be a cabaret artist, which is secretly what I’ve always wanted to do. On some level, I do think the sum total of it is the closest to my actual personality, which is part of why I was so terrified to do this now more than ever.

And as I was trying to fill out some podcasts, as it’s been a little slow coming out of a Memorial Day, I was typing various comedian names into Google and I went to Sam Kinnison and I found this story from twenty thirteen or a ten year old story. And as you know, nothing ever happened of the Sam Kinnison movie starring Josh Gad.
What Yes? This from Deadline back in twenty thirteen. Deadline has learned in twenty thirteen that Larry Charles, the filmmaker behind movies such as Borat, has been hired to director the Sam Kinison feature Josh Gadd from the Book of Mormon. He was going to play Sam Kinison Yeah Yeah, based on the book by Bill Kinnison, Sam’s brother. The film was going to be titled Kinnison and would begin in the early eighties as Sam broke away from the family business of pentecolist still preaching, moved to Hollywood where he could start his career in stand up.
The success ended up getting to him and he fell deep into the world of drugs and alcohol. He was able to clean up his acts, but his potential field career was cut short in nineteen ninety two when his car was struck head on by a drunk driver. Producer David Permit said in the statement ten years ago, there was nothing conventional about Sam Kinison. Neither will be the cinematic interpretation of his life. Larry chur Else is the perfect director to bring Rich Wilkie’s incredible script to screen, and Josh Gad’s tremendous ability to morph into a role will bring great depth to Kinnison’s larger than life PERSONA.
Wonder whatever happened to that movie? Can we bring that back? And that’s your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. If you’re on YouTube, smash that like button.
