The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News that the SPS. The other night, Chief star Travis Kelsey was up there with Heidi Gartner, you know her from Saturday Night Live, and Gardner made the following joke, I got kicked out of Chris Paul’s birthday party because I wasn’t invited. Camera cuts to Chris Paul. He has no idea what she’s talking about. That was a little weird.
Last week, a clip from the nineteen ninety eight SPS circulated on Twitter. The clip featured the Heisman Trophy winner that year, Charles Woodson. Nor McDonald gave the monologue and he said, there’s Charles Woodson. How about that he became the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy. Congratulations Charles.
That’s something no one ever can take away from you, unless you kill your wife and waiter. The New York Times had profiled Matt Rife. Matt talked about a recent career highlight that was performing in Yellow Springs, Ohio, with Dave Chappelle and said, we just smoked and talked for like four hours, and he gave me thirty years worth of advice. Chappelle emphasized the important staying true to yourself and not adhere to industry your network standards. Even today, fighting cancel culture with every show he does.
I’d just admire him for that so much. Jim Gaffigan put out a YouTube short joking about the origins of Mount Rushmore. He said, last spring break, we went to Mount Rushmore. That’s the most applause. Mount Rushmore’s gun And I feel sorry for Mount Rushmore.
People used to go there on their honeymoon. Now I bring up Mount Rushmore and people look at me like I’m talking about a TV show that was canceled ten years ago. Is it’s still going on? Yeah, it’s a mountain. It’s still going on.
You know what. It’s beautiful. Jim continued, And the Black Hills of South Dakota are sacred to the Lakota Indians, and out of respect, our government car four white guys in one of the mountains. Another gift you guys. These guys were all about freedom, especially the two guys that own sleeves.
Gabriel Iglesias has canceled his show at SRP Park in Augusta that was scheduled for August sixteenth. The reason given scheduling conflict. That’s always interesting to me. John Marco Serezi. I’ll have an interview with him on the podcast this week.
He’s up at JFL, which kicks off tomorrow. Jamarco said, I was always at theater kid. I went to college from musical theater. I do a lot of clubs in New York. That’s kind of where I grew up as a comic.
And you’re at these stages that are a couple of bricks thrown together and you’re elevated half an inch off the stage. And being at JFL and being at these big, massive theaters, Suddenly all these dance classes that I took in, all the thousands of dollars that amounted to nothing in my acting career, suddenly, oh, I finally for him to move. When I got on the stage at JFL, I thought, oh, this is where I can shine. This is where I can’t be too much. And I plan to really test that theory this year.
He’ll be on the for the Culture Show, and given his heritage listed as Jewish Italian, bad Feeling asked him who he’s representing. Trenmarco said, I’ve yet to hear from JFL on which side. They want me to talk up more, but I’ll do whatever they want. I probably have more Jewish materially because right now it’s a contentious time. I was in Houston and I said I’m Jewish.
Someone in the audience went yuck, wow. But the joke’s on him because that’s Hebrew for a great job. I think that’s probably the side that’s going to come out the most. Trenmarco talked about incorporating more crowd work into his sets, and he said, I think originally I leaned and because you know, it’s a very weird time to be a comedian. You have to have constant output because you don’t necessarily want to put out all your material.
And I think I saw one or two shows where I saw an audience member whisper a punchline to their friend, and I said, all right, that’s it. No more posting my current material online. I’m just leaving in the crowd work. And it was hard at first because the reason I became a stand up comedian was because in conversations I like to be the only one talking. But I found it just keeps me in the moment, you know, I get bored doing the same joke every time when you’re talking to some when you feel alive, because it could go south.
You know, I might say to someone, oh, your parents are divorced, and they’ll go my dad killed my mom. Then I have to think, how do I make this funny? How do I stay on the edge. And that keeps you feeling alive, that keeps you feeling scared in a good way. So I really do enjoy mixing it in when I feel like I’m ready to take the risk just for laughs announced a bunch of new shows.

On the third and the fourth, Harrison Ford was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast and gave Conan the Business a little bit. They were playfully arguing about Harrison Ford’s ancestry, which led Conan to consult some info he had jotted down prior to the interview. Conan said, I refer to you to this piece of paper right here says born and raised in Chicago to an Irish German father. Harrison leaned over to take a look at Conan’s notes and then interrupted Conan and Harrison pointed out the notes included a reminder that Ford played Han Solo in Indiana Jones. Harrison said, well, if that’s the quality of your research, and I imagine it is, because right there it says Harrison Ford, and you had to write Han Solo.
You can’t remember that. Conan said, no, I can’t. I can’t remember Han Solo. I wrote it down because I heard you were in some of the Star Wars films, and this was news to me because I’ve seen those films and I don’t exactly think that you pop. I’m sorry, I mean, I remember Chewbacca, I remember the bad guy with the black helmet, and then there’s some people.
Harrison then said, how come you’re still not on TV? Conan shot back. He came on my show many times on the late night show, and over the years, people would say, who’s one of your favorite guests, and I would say Harrison Ford because he’s so funny. You’re so hilariously funny, and you toss me around like a rag doll on those shows, and there’s some of my favorite segments of all time. You are hilarious man, and I always love being around you.
