The Shark Deck Mappy Father’s Day, or as Mets announcer Ralph Kiner once famously said, to all your father’s out there, Happy birthday. I am Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jim Gaffigan was on Drew Barrymore’s show like a month ago and told some dad jokes, and your favorite Daily Comedy News podcast host was like, let me save these Forefathers Day or right. Jim Gaffigan said, did you hear the rumor about butter Well, I’m not going to spread it. Jim said, I love dad jokes because the reason dad’s do dad jokes is to make the children unhappy.
The fact that they’re so bad that they annoyed child that brings joy to an older man. Amen Amy Schumer was commenting on al Pachito becoming a father ALA’s eighty three. Amy was also commenting on Robert de Niro seventy nine becoming a new father. Amy said, everyone’s like congrats. If it was Jane Fonda, people would call the police.
It’s weird. It doesn’t make me comfortable. Kevin Hart is opening a new Heart’s House. Remember Kevin is in the Fast Business. Hardhouse features plants forward food including sandwiches, salads, nuggets, fries, tots, and milkshakes.
New location on the campus of USC. If you ever been on the campus, They’ve got like a nice little call it a downtown the area. I recorded to buy me a coffee there about a year ago. Kenny had bought me a coffee and telt me to go to the Green Logo coffee chain. There’s one in this little campus area.
Anyway, They’re opening up a hardhouse thirteen hundred ten square feet, four interior seats at a standing bar. The official personally says the highlight of this location is the sprawling twenty three hundred square foot beautifully lit and landscaped outdoor seating area with forty patio seats featuring a beautiful water fountain. I saw the renderings. Looks beautiful. George Lopez credits the Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls for his success.
George said, on my first sitcom, it took a lot to figure out the angles for the direction of the show. We wanted to wrap it around my real life. I love the Chicago Bulls. At that time, and their coach Phil Jackson had built their five player strategy called the triangle, and I said, we’re going to do the triangle in comedy. The show was broken down and in me and my mom and my wife, then my work, my mom and my buddy, then the kids.
I worked all that in because I said, we’re gonna do this in triangles. It worked for Phil Jackson with the Bulls and Lakers, and it works for me. The Daily Bee spoke to Julia. Louis Dreyfuss the Best said Elane’s not in the pilot of Seinfeld, but you come in that second episode. What was it like to enter the world is the only female character on the show.
Julia said, well, I never really approached it from the perspective of my gender per se. I wanted to play ball with everybody. I’m not gonna lie. In the beginning, I didn’t have a lot to do in certain episodes, and I’d go to Larry and Jerry multiple times say hey, guys, write me more. I need to be in the show more.
And that’s what I kept doing and they did. The best points out in the Seinfeld episodes where Jerry is working on the sitcom Jerry, they joked that they don’t know how to write for a woman. Julie said, yeah, but you see, they didn’t write for me as a woman. They just wrote for me for this character as supposed to this gender, which I think it’s instructive in a lot of ways from a writing point of view. They asked if they thought Elane evolved, and Julia said, I think she evolved.
I think she got angrier. I mean, you have to wonder why these four characters would always hang out together. They’re constantly bickering, They’re constantly getting into trouble in one way or another and losing money. Apparently, there was an unfilmed script about Alan buying a gun. The network rejected the idea, which led to Larry Charles leaving the show.
They asked what Julia remembered about it, and she said, I remember it didn’t get a lot of laughs. And believe me, I love Larry Charles. Don’t misunderstand that script felt a little dark. It was out of people’s comfort zones, and that’s saying something on that show. As for their finale, I will say, from a purely emotional point of view, it was really a delight to sit there in the courtroom and watch one guest actor after another parade through I mean, it was like we were watching the show.
So that was really fun that aspect of it. But I understood why people were disappointed. First of all expectations ridiculous. But I also understood because we didn’t do too much in it. Once we had been arrested and in court, it was just us sitting there watching one person after another person parade through.
And if you missed it, I think it was last Sunday, definitely last weekend. I brought up as a topic that I saw on the internet. Question for you, is the character of Alan supposed to be hot? We’re not talking about Julie. We’re talking about the character of Alene.
If you missed that episode, go back in the feed. You’ll find that about a week ago. If you have Fox Nation, you could check out Rob Schneider’s new special Woke Up in America, featuring Schneider’s signature comedic take on a variety of topics, including culture wars, living in a woke world, and navigating the nuanced times of identity politics. He’ll also tackle the controversy surrounding the word woman and UFOs, plus making a movie with former President Donald Trump and his own vasectomy saga. Rob Schneider woke up in America today.
Jack Whitehall did a show over in the UK, and apparently people didn’t like it. I Knews called it outdated laddie banter about campness and anal This is safe stuff from a comedian who knows how to please as loyal fans, but not the rest of us. The show promises an exploration of his new found maturity. He’s in a long term relationship, he bought a dog, it is now expecting his first child. His days of drinking, drugs and one night stands are over.
He tells us this show feels like a pivotal moment for me, but real depth never truly emerge.
Meanwhile, The Guardian gave it two stars and said the stand up promises more…
Okay, kind of the same review. Right. While he gets decent comedy out of his girlfriend’s inquisitive TV habits, his engagement with this stuff remains superficial and isolated. Moments only he tries to give us something more about a social anxiety or how we should be celebrating representation. Whenever we see it is the boy finally becoming a man.
Maybe so, but on this evidence he won’t put aside childish things without a struggle. Oh not good. And from Far Out Magazine they have uncovered the Sandler Verse. The Sandler Verse theory points to running gags and returning characters who seem to crop up time and time again throughout Adam Sandler movies. YouTuber Sean Cone has a detailed video explaining some of the examples, like Rob Schneider’s you Can do It, Jeer from The Water Boy appearing again in Little Nikki than Sandler himself says the line in two thousand ones, and the animal the Caddy from Happy Gilmore also appears in Jack and Jill.
The appearance of pro golfer Chubbs Peterson shows up in Little Nikki in two thousand. Some characters have shown up time and time again, including Officer Jack Pugh, Eric Lamonsof, and ten Second Tom. When Adam Sandler was asked if he had like a multiverse team up movie like a Marvel thing, Sandler said, I’d like that. I’d like to get mentally ready for that. That’ll probably happen, and maybe another thirty five years we’re gonna get to that and that he’s your comedy news for today, Happy Father’s Day.
