The Shark Deck. Hey Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Quick joke from Mark Norman, who said the book of Henry Ford’s life, Now that’s an autobiography. Chelsea Handler hosted the Critics Choice Awards. She said, the cast of The Bear is here.
Awesome show. They showed us how grueling and absolutely miserable working in the restaurant industry can be. And they didn’t even have to wait on James Gordon. It’s not good. None of these are good.
She joked about badass Viola Davis training for her critically acclaimed to film The Woman King her joke. As part of Viola’s training in the film, she was given a DNA test to determine the best workout regiment for her genetic makeup or right Good premise, which also coincidentally revealed that she’s Nick Cannon’s daughter. That was pretty good. Actually, when I first read it, I didn’t like it. Now I’m like, all right, that joke’s pretty good.
And the movie tsar Kate Blanchett portrayed iconic lesbian whose career is affected by her toxic behavior, and she didn’t even have to host her own daytime talk show. All right, Dummer became the third highest viewed show on Netflix, with a combined watch time of one billion hours, which apparently is the same amount of time we’re going to have to listen to Prince Harry talk about his frostbitten penis. You know what I warmed up to those? I apologized, Chelsea. Those were good jokes.
And don’t forget if you want to talk about Prince Harry’s penis palace intrigue. Wherever you get your shows, that’s a podcast about the royal family. I’m the writer. Check it out. This next one.
I kind of get it, and I’m kind of like you guys are dreaming here. CNN boss Chris Licht is contemplating adding some sort of like comedy type show to CNN from nine to eleven pm every week night. This from Radar Online. One insider said they’re looking for their version of John Oliver. Okay, again, not the worst idea.
Two hours a night is a lot, and here’s their wish list. John Stewart, Bill Maher, Trevor Noah and Arsenio Hall. All Right, first off, let’s cross off Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah did not give up the Daily Show to do two hours a night on CNN. No chance, Arsenio.
I could see that happening, because what else is our Senio doing John Stewart? Is John Stewart going to host the news for two hours on CNN every night? And what happens when you know something horrible happens and John Stewart’s on the air, is you’re going to have to suddenly be the anchor guiding us through the horrible storm, plane crash, terrible thing. I don’t know hard division Bill Maher, I could actually see Bill Moore doing it, although same issue of what happens when the bad stuff happens? Do you like have Anderson Cooper just hang around eleven o’clock every night in case he needs to throw him on the air?
To Bill Maher might make sense because he already works for Warner Brothers Discovery, the parent company of CNN. Billmore has the show on HBO. I could see that happening. But again, does Bill Moore want to work ten hours a week plus the prep? You know, you don’t just show up at eight fifty nine and sit down.
Joe Rogan says it is time to forgive Will Smith. He said, thinking about the situation, I’m like, that guy has to be forgiven, Like he clearly has deep remorse for what he’s done, and he’s also clearly living in a world where he was given nothing but adulation and praise for most of his life, and then all of a sudden he has this one, in many people’s eyes, unforgivable moment where he does something just so stupid. He’s a human being. You just got to forgive him, you know. And I think the person who has to forgive him if he wants to is Chris Rock.
Sam Murel compted it on Dave’s Chappelle and said, you know, the guy who attacked Dave Rappelle. That was awful. But when people were talking about Dave being silence, I’m like, I feel like Netflix is one week away from live streaming him taking a dump. I think it’s much to do about nothing. What are we talking about here, He’s not being silenced.
He’s performing an arena’s it’s the narrative of the shock jocks us. Oh, they’re coming for us. I’m like, why don’t you show them where you live? You’re not canceled. Mike Epps was down to Jackson, Mississippi, trying to bring attention to the water problems down there.
Before entertaining a crowd in a weekend comedy show, Mike Apps handed out water to Jacksonians and said, it’s no laughing matter, and the rest of the country don’t understand how bad it is to come here and see how resilient these people are here in Jackson. Jackson’s always been a great city in America, and I think as a country, in a government, we need to support them. Philadelphia Weekly had somebody at one of Mike Epps shows, presumably the one in Philadelphia, not Jackson. They write, Though Epps is now drug free quote save for weed unquote, his cocaine days are regarded with fondness and fearlessness. Not only did he joke about being coked up while filming movies like All about the Benjamin’s his joke there look at my eyes, he poked fun at the women in his life during his cocaine habit, and post cocaine you could tell I was on the powder by the look of the woman I was with at the time.
There was a lot of reminiscing and recollection within the body of Mike epps long set, and much of it tied to similarly misogynistic, but funny and certainly self deprecating elements of his nineteen nineties and earlies two thousands past. Women approach him differently now than they did in his comedic youth. The children he has with self damed baby mom as approach aps differently too. One more day until the snow Jam Comedy Festival January nineteenth through the twenty first in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Let’s take a look at some of the comedians who will be performing.
Shiloh Blake is out of Minneapolis. She was a finalist in the twenty twenty two Funniest Person With a Day Job House of Comedy. Billy Joe Gillespie is an out and proud marine veteran, bringing high end and a unique perspective to the stage. For eleven years, her hilarity has kept the crowds laughing at the adventures of farm life, the challenges of military service, and veteran life as a woman. Christian Williams handed in this bio On a cold night December nineteen ninety four, a little round mound of chocolate was born by the name Christian Williams.
Christian then slowly grew into an average sized chocolate man who’s also an improv and stand up comedian. His humor can be described as lighthearted and silly. I love it Coldy Ulrich during comic from Denver. Cody hosts the wipe athetical podcast Nice So that kicks off tomorrow the snow Jam Comedy Festival Shoe Fall, South Dakota. Looking forward to this one got a nice note on the Daily Comedy News subreddit.
Tall Wrongdoer forty two ninety nine wrote, thanks Johnny Mack, and I was like, oh, I’ll click on this. The tall Wrongdoer writes, I’m your age and like stand up specials an awful lot. But when I watched the classics from Ourage generation, I often get the side eye from my kiddos. Times change comedy changes all good. I’ll jump in here.
Yeah, why don’t you put on Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and play his opening bit? You know the one that’s titled on the album A word that starts with F. Play that one that one has an age So well, times change comedy changes all good at your recommendation. I watched Cheng Wang and otsko Akosco with them and both were hits. So thanks for helping me find comics the Bridge the generation gap and made us all laugh.
That’s awesome. Thanks Tall Wrongdo. I really appreciated that. Note there anybody in Manchester if you’re in Manchester wanting your head on over to Bert Kreisher’s show tonight. By the way, fantastic Bert Kreischer article in The Guardian.
I’m saving that for the weekend so I can record the weekend in advance, but I did share it on the subredits Daily Comedy News and on the Daily Comedy News podcast group. You’ll find that on Facebook if you want to read that, or just you know, google Bert Kreisher and the Guardian article will pop up anyway. He’s in Manchester in the UK. Tonight Chortle Rights the US Party. Ging comedian and podcaster Bert Kreisher, known for performing shirtless on stage, begins a short run of UK dates at his new Tops Off World tour at the Apollo The stand Up.
Is also known for hosting the Go Big Show featuring large scale entertainment such as monster Trucks on America’s TBS network. I’ll tell you as the host of Daily Communus, he’s not known for that. It might be something on his resume. It might be something he does, it might be something you even watch, but he is not known for that. Night Court It’s back.
Did you watch it? I didn’t really watch the first one, so I’m not going to watch the reboot. But the Hollywood Reporter did, and they wrote, over its nine season one hundred ninety three episode run, you know, you see a number like one hundred ninety three episodes, and now we’re living in the twenty twenties where seasons are like eight episodes long. The idea of a show having one hundred ninety three two hundred episodes is insane. But over its nine season, one hundred ninety three episode run, NBC’s Night Court the original had many things going for at the Manhattan courtroom setting presented an array of cases that let the show shift from the outlandish to the topical, the ridiculous to the borderline sincere.
One thing it didn’t have going for it was consistency. The broad humor could veer in a hackiness, the attempts at candor could strain to mawkishness. Shifts within the sporting castment that the writers were constantly trying, not always successfully, to taylor new parts to new actors, knowing they could always beat behind John Laraquett and punchlines and Harry Anderson in screen time. The inconsistency was especially pronounced. I’ve experienced Night Court.
If so many viewers did, primarily in syndication, one episode would lead you to think this is one of the best shows of its era, and the X would be pure drivel. All right, what about the new one? The Holli reporter says. The new one swings back and forth between somewhat promising and thoroughly embalmed. It’s part of the joke that Abby, Abby’s the judge now, and what a coincidence.
She’s the daughter of Harry Anderson’s character. What a coincidence. She’s taking up residence in a facility that hasn’t been renovated in decades, which lets her occupy what is basically her father’s old office and preside over what is basically her father’s old courtroom, producing all sorts of visual references to the original series for a fittingly nostalgic blandness. The writers have generally picked new cases which would fit in with the old, like the woman who insists she’s a werewolf, but more frequently. The cases here are used to make character driven points, like various times Abbet’s hambur early worries she might be too soft or sentimental, only to be reminded that sentiment is her family’s core judicial superpower.
All right, let’s finish up on gossip corner. Olivia Munn and John Mulaney. They have a son, Malcolm. They treated Malcolm to his first trip to a local Asian market. We learned this from Olivia Mun’s Instagram.
She shared a video decaption first trip to the Asian market. The Daily Mail writes the X Men Apocalypse star forty two years old, stepped out with her boys, looking fabulous in skin spe blue jeans at a red sweater. The pant’s had a freed high water style that help show off her black heeled boots. At one point, young Malcolm mun mulaney turned and pointed to the various fish and shellfish that had already been packed and put on ice. How cute.
