The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Trevor Noah hosted the Grammy Awards last night. I like Trevor Noah a lot, but Ouch, that was not good Trevor. The word hack even went through my mind.
Trevor praise Beyonce well deserved and asked what was more culturally significant, the renaissance or Beyonce’s renaissance. I think that same joke appears on Kunk on Earth on Netflix. We’ll talk about that later. You should be watching that. Trevor also referenced the spy balloon and said, my job is to be your eyes, your ears.
I’ll be floating around this Sam Radio. Think of me like a Chinese spy balloon. I thought I was gonna have a lot more to say about Trevor Noah, but I don’t. Not good man. You know what was good?
Saturday Night Live and they opened with a segment about the spy balloon, and great job out of them because that story was only, let’s say, dude, like seven hours old by the time SNL air and they crushed it. In the opener, Bowen Yang dressing up as the spy balloon. Very very funny. It’s also a fantastic game show sketch about movies. If you haven’t seen it, I shared it on the Facebook group page Daily Coming News podcast group Spoilers.
The big joke there is nobody can name any movies or movie stars from the last five years. I watched it and I was like Wow. Shared it with my wife, who was like, wow, really good and let’s stop off at gossip Corner. Pete Davidson, he’s bald now. Over the weekend, he showed up at a Knicks game with John Stewart and Hasan Minhaj.
Interesting company there. Pete was wearing a sturdy gray shacket according to Yahoo, what’s a shack at shirt jacket? I guess, and shielding his eyes with black Aviator sunglasses. Then he attended a screening of m Night Shamalan’s latest thriller, Knock at the Cabin. He was wearing a New York or Nowhere baseball cap, but under the baseball cap he has shaved his head.
Pete was also at the Pro Bowl. Busy weekend for Pete Davidson. Detroit Lyons wide receiver I’m Honray Saint Brown, apparently a fan of Pete Davidson. Saint Brown showed Pete Davidson his number one fan tattoo. It’s unclear if the tattoo real or not, but Pete said, oh, dude, that’s so dope.
Thank you man, that’s amazing. I hope it comes off. ABC caught up with Colin Quinn. Hey, Colin Quinn, many comedians revere you. Do you ever give them advice?
Colin said, I couldn’t give advice. They know better than me what they need to do. They’re the ones that are cutting up clips and throw them out. I’d be like, hey, try to get on Letterman and they’re like, what, he doesn’t have a show anymore, or hey, try to get a sitcom. The only advice I could ever give is if you’re not writing new stuff a lot, you’re gonna stagnate.
It’s almost like the opposite of musicians. Musicians, with a few exceptions, the first couple albums are their best, and then they just can’t really capture the magic. But stand up, you can’t rest. Nobody’s gonna say play your hits, you know, very rarely, so you have to keep writing. The more you do it, it gets easier to know what direction to focus.
On when you’re writing, but you have to keep working at the same pace your whole career. There’s no coasting and stand up all right, Colin has well culture affected your company? Colin Quinn said, there’s so many subjects that people will not laugh at. So if you even identify, not just make a stereotype, if you identify anyone’s ethnicity, the room tightens up a subtle areas, some good, most bad. In my opinion that it affects it’s not all of comedy, but it’s definitely had a big effect.
You know. One more, Hey, Colin, your friends with Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer. What’s it like when you go out to dinner? Colin said, nobody’s really fighting for tension, but everybody’s being funny the whole time. I mean, it’s our thing, you know what I mean.
So what we do it’s hard to really say what it looks like, but we did a few weeks ago. It was just hilarious, and Amy’s baby son was their gene. It’s like a throwaway line. It’s not big and gregorious laughs. It’s more like a series of sarcastic or snotty remarks to each other.
NBR had on Brian Post Sin Yeah, he was talking about his work on Mister Show. He said it opened up a lot of doors for his career. He said, I owe everything to those two dudes. It really got me out there, adding that the right people who know comedy saw the show and his work. That’s how I got on Big Bang Theory, and that’s how I got on Just Shoot Me, and that’s how I got all these other shows.
It’s because the writers were fans of Mister Show and knew what I could do. He was asked if he could meet anyone in the world that he’s never met before, and he said, forget that, he wants to meet Rush again. He said, if I could be in a room with Rush again and actually meet Alex and Getty and just talk to them like human beings and not as a screaming fan. I had a moment with them and I got to take a picture with them, but I botched it so hard. I called Getty search twice.
In the same sentence, he also told a story about twenty years ago when he and Patton Oswalt met Don Rickles. They were there to offer advice to Don Rickles. I did not misspeak. They’re not getting advice from Don Rickles. They were giving advice too Don Rickles, who was about to do a college tour.
Ryan said’s ridiculous, like how could we have anything to give to him advice wise? But we still took the meeting. Pat and I were both like, this sounds so dumb, but let’s go and meet the man. You know. It was one of the greatest hour and a halves in my life.
He made fun of the way we were dressed. He told Pat and I, Hey, if you kids come on the house, why didn’t you dress up? All right? My wife will think give the gardeners like you kids, but where’s the rake? And we were just losing it.
The Guardian interviewed Tignataro tick seems like she’s no fun. I’ve heard her on podcasts and she gets kind of frosty. And look at these short answers. Here again from the Guardian, here’s the question who’d you look up to? When started out?
First answer? All right, a really answer, tig and he opened my comedy scene. I was coming up in I Love my friends, Maria Bamford, Zach Golfin, I guess, Chris Fairbanks, Martha Kelly and a million others. The professional comedians I was into prior to starting stand up would have been Richard Pryor, Stephen Wright, Paula Poundstone, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Ellen DeGeneres, and Joan Rivers. Great answer, but here we got, Guardian.
Can you recall a gig so bad it’s now funny? Tig the first two years of my career, Guardian. Do you have any pre show rituals? Tig. I like to not think much about the show.
I go about my day or evening like I would any other just show up and walk on stage. Guardian, best heckle. Tig can’t say I’ve ever been impressed by a heckle, nor if I ever been really put off by one either. Guardian, you recently have said you’re bad. It’s staying note opportunities.
You’re becoming better at it, Tig. I always think I will. Then I’m here saying yes to this interview. Guardian. What are you excited for now?
Tig? Spending some more time at home, hoping to learn to garden and golf and mostly go on our summer family vacation. Guardian. Eddie bugbears from the world of comedy, Tig, the world of comedy is such a microcosm of the entire world these days, it’s just so divided. I think the negativity starts to really get me down.
I try to gravitate more towards nice or sillier people in vibes that’s coming across in this transcript. I’ll tell you that best advice you’ve ever been given, Tig. Tig said, there’s two. The best gift you can give anyone is a well lived life of your own, and no one thing will make or break you. Worst advice you’ve ever been given, she said, go to business school.
W Kamal Bell is having none of this. Bill Cosby on tour business, he said, it’s clear to me there are people around Bill Cosby who feel the need to keep his name in the press. He’s eighty five years old. I don’t know a lot of eighty five year old comedians on tour, especially with his history. I know that my name’s forever going to be tied of Bill Cosby because of this project, and I’m proud of the work I’ve put into it, and I stand by it.
But I won’t be buying tickets if he goes on tour from the Crimson You’re home for comedy news and a newspaper from Harvard. Karen, she classes seventeen fancy. She’s a comedic big Dog, or at least that’s what a co workers call her. How’d she get the name? She said, Oh, I give myself the nickname.
They had written my phone number down incorrectly on a contact sheet at work, so when I went to correct it, I asked him to ease also write my name as Karen big Dog che So she now works on late night with Seth Myers, and her co workers call her big Dog. Great nickname. She describes herself as a bit of a square, and she has a daily to do list that consists solely of making chocolate chip pancakes, finishing a book, and doing a puzzle. But the name has stuck. Her default zoom user name is now big Dog.
She her hers. She says, Seth Myers is a man with a demeanor that she compares to the friendly neighborhood dad who coaches the local soccer team. It’s great, Genuinely, I’m a big Seth Myers fan outside of work, but I don’t need to say that. We don’t need his ego to explode. And from Yahoo one woman on TikTok had enough of bad dates.
She drafted up a ghosting exit survey to send to somebody who rudely ghosted her, comedian Stephanie Dagastino. She’s at steph dag on TikTok. She said, So, I recently got ghosted by guy who I didn’t even like. So it’s devastating. I emailed him this ghosting exit survey to fill out.
All right, hear the questions ready. Question number one, please provide a one to two cents. It’s example of why you did it. For example, you were intimidated by my beauty, You hate yourself, You’re broken, I’m too good for you. I’m going to play along here.
So I’d been married for twenty five years the last time I ghosted somebody who was probably thirty years ago. Why did I ghost her? I was just dating someone else that I was clicking with better. Question number two, please circle if I am more cute, hot, sexy, or pretty? Can and must circle all four.
I’m gonna stop answering case my wife downloads the podcast. Question number three, please explain why you did not write in smart for the last question. You misogynists love it From there She digs even deeper, asking the mysterious Ghoster to provide the names, emails, and phone numbers of at least two of their exes, as well as their birth mother. She even asked for his Social Security number. Last, but not least, Agostino gives the guy the option of choosing one form of compensation or relieve her of all her emotional distress.
