The Shark deck shunning Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Hey remember that whole thing with Pete Davidson and the ferry And Pete suggested that they were stoned when they bought the ferry, and I pointed out, that’s not how it works. It’s not like you’re in the East Village and you’re walking down the street and somebody goes, hey, you want to buy a ferry, and you whip out two hundred thousand dollars cash and suddenly you own a ferry because you’re stoned. That’s not how it works. Well, Colin Jost has cleaned this up on Instagram.
Colin wrote, is it worse that I was actually stone called sober when we bought the ferry. Joe suggests that the ferry could be up and running by twenty twenty five, adding we’re excited to prove the non believers wrong. You’re gonna be begging to get on this ferry in two years. And Mark my words told you yesterday about Joscelyn Chia, the Malaysians are trying to sick interpoll on her. She said her joke had been taken out of context when consumed on social media.
I’ve performed this routine hundreds of times and even did a shorter version of it in Singapore. It always cracks the audience up. I wouldn’t have used it again if it didn’t work. She pointed out that roasting or grilling the audience is part of the comedy club culture in New York. That’s not necessarily the case in Asian countries, where routines are more subdued.
Gia points out that American comics in the past have you sensitive topics, including September eleventh, as fodder for their jokes. I could think of one Gilbert Godfrey joke, she said. Americans can appreciate humor that is horsher, edgier, and more in your face, as compared to in Asia, where the stand up comedy scene is still in its early days. You won’t find a lot of edgy comedy in Asia, she told the BBC. I just wish I could have seen the face of the Interpol officer who received this request.
Honestly, if Interropoll does do something about this request and things escalate, can you imagine how famous it’s gonna make me.
Meanwhile, from says dot Com, Singaporean stand up comedian Kumar has apologi…
Kumar, described as a popular comedian, actor, a TV host, released a video on his socials saying I would like to sincerely apologize on behalf of Joscelyn Sheia’s stand up comedy show. I really don’t think people should use stand up comedy as a tool to vent out your anger and hatred. Please learn from this. For Malaysia, we need you for fun, food and leisure and for some of us work. Jocelyn Shea, if you’re watching this, I really think you should seek help because you really have some issues.
Thank you. Maybe all aspiring comedians needs to go to Adam Carol and Jay Leno’s new Comedy Fantasy Camp. They’ve partnered with the producers of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp to offer Comedy Fantasy Camp, a four day event Hollywood this October. Attendees of all levels, from beginners to advance. We’ll learn techniques, tips and lessons on all different types and aspects of comedy.
The camp is primarily geared towards adults, but is open to all ages. Who’s going to be there, Jay Leno, Adam Carolla, Alonso Bowden, Brad Williams, some writers from Friends, King of Queens, the Goldbergs, a showrunner from one of Tim Allen’s shows, and maybe they shouldn’t invite the chat GPT. Over the four days, attendees will develop their own stand up routines and perform them on stage, as well as participate in mentoring sessions. There’ll be a live comedy show at the Hollywood Improv featuring all the campers who can pitch their own ideas to a panel of experience producers and writers, providing a real world industry experience. Jay Leno said, I look forward to working with this year’s class of Comedy Fantasy Camp attendees in Los Angeles this coming October.
It will be a gas and now let me leave a pregnant pause because I have to totally change my tone of voice and lose this slightly amused lilt reed that I usually use from The New York Times. Nine women have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault in the Nevada lawsuit on Wednesday that comes less than two months after Nevada changed its statue of limitations for civil cases. The women said in the lawsuit that the assaults took place in Nevada between nineteen seventy nine and nineteen ninety two, some in Cosby’s hotel suite in Las Vegas. They said that Cosby had drugged or attempted to drug each of them before the assaults. Cosby’s spokesperson Andrew Wyatt’s told Variety in a statement, it’s interesting that these look back widows are formulating only in those states where many of mister Cosby’s alleged accusers reside.
It makes all Americans asked the question, who’s funding these alleged accusers and who’s funding these lawmakers. More than sixty women have publicly accused Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct, so it’s a trivia. And they asked a question about Bob’s Burgers, which was amusing to me. It was asking who voices Bob Belcher, And you know I could have argued and said, well, nobody voices Bob Belcher, because there’s no such thing as Bob’s Burgers. Again, for new listeners, I understand that you’ve seen the artwork.
I understand that Joe Buck would read promos for it, but have you ever actually seen Bob’s Burgers? The answers no, have you ever met anyone who’s seen Bob’s Burgers? The answers also no, But I digress. So in theory, who voices Bob Belcher? And I had no idea, And my buddy Glenn was there and he added, and it doesn’t exist exactly, So we got that one wrong.
We hade a nice night at trivia. I’m heading somewhere with this. We were missing the fourth guy on our team. He couldn’t come. Now, he’s usually in charge of the food.
We usually we get pizza or sandwiches or something, but we didn’t have anything, and I didn’t have dinner, and I might have had an extra beverage last night. So when I woke up this morning, you know when you’ve had a couple of non coffee beverages and you need to take the edge off a little bit. So I hit the National Donuts chain. Not only did I get a large iced coffee with caramon milk, I got myself not one, two doughnuts, and then I went for a run. So it’s kind of a net zero.
But you know, sometimes you need to mop up the beverages. And this is my way of getting into buy me a Coffee dot Com slash Daily Comedy News. If you’d like to support the show and you’re like, wow, warts Johnny Mac, He’s probably a little hungry and you know, maybe as a slight headache and could use some caffeine and some sugar, and you’d like to help me out, especially after losing Trivia because of a Bob’s Burger’s question, buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I tease this next story yesterday. It’s gonna be a lot of me reading.
As I went into it, I thought it was heading somewhere, and by the end of it, I just had an ikey feeling, So buck at your seat belts. Distractify I had the headline why do people hate Amy Schumer? Or Netflix special Emergency Contact is the controversial feminist comedian’s fifth standom special. So it got into some of the reasons somewhere might dislike Amy Schumer, and then I got to this quote other people hate Amy because her her self admitted sexual assaults unquote, and I was like, wait, what. Distractify referred to the twenty fourteen Gloria Awards and they write In her speech about confidence, she shared how she was really into a guy named Matt.
In college. He was the only man who paid her any attention, which made her feel validated and sexy despite not feeling attractive compared to the other women at her college. When he drunk dialed her at eight am, she immediately took the opportunity to show up at his dorm room and have sex with him. I wanted to learn more about this and go to a website that maybe I’m more familiar with. That took me to Vulture.
This from Vulture, May second, twenty fourteen, when they say, read Amy Schumer’s powerful speech about confidence. Okay, they have the transcript there and let me skim it from Amy’s speech. I was getting no male attention, and I’m embarrassed to say it was killing me. But one guy paid me some attention. Matt.
Matt was six feet tall. He was five years older than me. What an older boy attention to me? I must be Okay. I made him laugh in our bile lab, and I could tell a couple of times that we had a vibe.
He was a super senior, which is a sexy way of saying should have graduated but needed an extra year. Again, I’m skimming here. When I would see him on campus. My heart would race and I would smile as he passed. I’d look in the mirror and see all the blood rise to my face.
I’d spend time analyzing the interaction. I’m planning my outfit for the next time I saw him. I wanted him to call. He never called, but then finally he called. It was eight am.
My dorm room phone rang, Amy, what’s up. It’s Matt, come over. Holy, Yes, this is it. I thought he woke up thinking about me. He realized we were meant to start a life together.
Skipping ahead, the door opens. It’s Matt, but not really. He’s there, but not really. His face is kind of distorted, and his eyes seem like he can’t focus on me. He’s actually trying to see me from the side, like a shark.
Hey. He yells too loud and gives me a hug. He’s effing wasted. I’m not the first person he thought of that morning. I’m the last person he called that night.
I wonder how many girls didn’t answer before he got to fat freshman me and I in his phone is Schumer, probably, But I was here and I wanted to be held in touch and felt desired despite everything I wanted to be with him. I imagine into s on campus together, holding hands, proving, look, I’m lovable, this cool other guy likes me. She gips ahead has some very colorful details of what they did in the bed. She eventually says, on his fourth thrust, he gave up and fell asleep on my breast. His head was heavy and his breath was so sour.
I had to turn my head so my eyes didn’t water. So you’ll find that complete speech on Vulture. Separate from what we just talked about, I do want to share that I am aware. Back in twenty eighteen, and you can find this on People. Amy opened up about being sexually assaulted.
Quoting Amy and People, I lost my virginity while I was asleep. So my stand up I used to talk about I called it gray area rape, which is my way of bringing this up in my stand up, trying to make people laugh while they learned. When we hear about rape when we’re children, it’s about a guy popping out from a bush and this villain. They don’t say, it’s probably going to be a guy who you know very well. In my stand up, I would say, if she’s asleep, that’s a no back to distractify, they wrote.
Even still, allegations of joke stealing have run rampant aside in Me’s controversial career. That’s what first led many women to also dislike Amy. Several of those allegations, however, or about Amy’s sketch show, which has a team of writers. In addition, many jokes come from similar premises, so there are often similarities between the jokes and concepts and comedy, which makes joke theft challenging to prove. Regardless of all the reason to hate Amy, there’s still enough love for her to wander at a new Netflix special not your comedy News for Today,
