Caloroga Shark Media. Big news from Jerry Seinfeld after the Late Night jokes, Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your daily commedy News Late Night. Pretty good a set of jokes here the setup. Mike penns dropped out of the presidential race. Penn said, it’s become clear to me that this is not my time.
David Colbert said Pence’s time was sixteen ninety two, his place Salem, his job man who shoves woman into river to see if she’s a witch.
Also from Colbert, Penn said he prayed over the decision, not surprising, aft…
Colbert said, God responded with his own book, new phone. Who dis he got ghosted? He got ghosted by the Holy ghost. Charlemagne, the God is hosting the Daily Show this week now. Last week I kind of piled on Jesus nice, who was not good at it.
Charlemagne way better at it. Listen, Mike Penson, now that he is ending his campaign, that’s right. Mike Pints dropped out to spend more time in a step in bedroom from his wife, I won’t say, do they really ending your campaign and your campaign never got off the ground to begin with. It’s like turning down sex when you have a wrecked out just function like the choice was made for you already, My guy, all right? Would Charlotte made want that gig full time?
He’s off to a very good start. Switching topics, Former President Trump was in Sue City, Iowa, and mistakenly referred to it as South Dakota’s Sue Falls. Jimmy fallon. Joe Biden was like, somebody helped that world man. He’s confused and disoriented and fell.
And again it makes sense that Trump was confused. It was the first time in months he’s been in a room without a jury. Great set of jokes there, all right. Jerry Seinfeld, he’s on tour and at the end of his shows he does some Q and A. On Sunday night, he was in Detroit and he got asked again about the Seinfeld reunion.
Remember there was something about the finale and people were wondering what was going on. Jerry Seinfeld made this super clear. He said, a reunion of the Seinfeld Show. That subject has come up, and it is is it not happening? We can’t do it because we would ruin it.
We already ruined it, but we could ruin it even worse, Jerry joke. There’s been conversations about it, but I don’t think it would happen until all four careers are completely in the toilet. We’re working on that as we speak. Jerry was more excited to talk about his upcoming pop Tarts movie that will be on Netflix. Jerry said, I directed the movie.
I’m in the movie. It has fifteen other stand up comedians, all names that you know, all friends of mine. So we made the movie and it’s coming out at the beginning of next year. The movie takes place in Battle Creek, Michigan. It’s a place that I’ve never visited.
M Live was at one of the shows in Detroit. This from the Saturday Night Show and they say Jerry performed for just under an hour with an opener before him. There was no big introduction. Seinfeld just kind of waltzed on stage right after the opener finished, catching the audience off guard. It took a moment for people to realize, Hey, that’s Jerry.
We should be applauding right now. Jerry went into a funny bit about cell phones and how our lives are consumed by them, but he’s not very much interested in what’s going on on other people’s cell phones, no matter how good the content might be, or no matter how much they want to show him em live, says, Seinfeld still has it and then some. Nate Bergatzi shared more about how he approached hosting SNL. He crushed it. If you didn’t see the episode, find it on demand or find the individual sketches.
It was really strong this week. Nate said, I talked to John Mulaney pretty quickly after I found out, and he talked me through it all. When you come to the SNL studio, you wrap your head around more of what it is. But everybody was super nice. Nate said he talked to Jerry Seinfeld about it, Pete Davidson, Camel nan Gianni.
Nate said, there’s a lot of people reached out. They were very nice, telling me what to do and help me with the sketches and we look for the que cards all that stuff. Again, fantastic episode if he didn’t see it. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudro, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer put out a joint statement which reads, we are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew Perry. We were much more than just castmates.
We are a family. There’s so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss, and time we’ll say more as and when we’re able. For now, our thoughts and our lover with Mattie’s family, his friends, and everybody who loved him around the world world. Perry’s memoir Friends Lovers in the Big Terrible Thing hit number one on Amazon’s bestseller list following Matthew Perry’s death on Saturday. The book originally came out November first, twenty twenty two.
The trailer for Good Burger two is out and it looks pretty good. It looks self aware, it looks like we know what this is, just a roll with it. Good Burger Too will be out on Paramount Plus November twenty second. Give you something to do over Thanksgiving weekend. There we see Dexter and Ed reuniting as staff members at Goudburger as the pair attempt to help the struggling fast food establishment and its parent companies plans to grow the brand.
The guys learned that Megacorp is planning to expand Gudburger globally, but intends to fire the restaurant’s staff. Keenan Samson Warren’s Mega Corp wants to replace everybody with robots. We gotta do something. Hilarity ensues. Goodburger came out in nineteen ninety seven, was based on a sketch that first ran on the Nickelodeon series All That in nineteen ninety four.
Like I said, I watched the trailer and I was like, all right, it’s self aware. It’s not claiming to be Citizen Kane. And I don’t know. Maybe I just like Keenan Thompson a lot more than I like Adam Sandler. This is a dopey movie, but it looks fun.
Fear to Oz spoke to the Indian Express and his theory is the audience now makes comedians humble. Vieer said. Earlier comedians were like, here are my jokes. If you’re offended, I’m off to the next city. Now we have to be humble about the fact that the audience has a voice and we have to deal with them in the most humble manner.
I love this generation. They have destroyed stardom, and they value artistry. There’s nothing worse in the world than the silence of the audience. There’s no greater teacher than the audience. There’s no greater editor than the audience.
They’ll change the lines. Our revolution comes from the audience. Are you into celebrity golf tournaments? The third Annual Comedy Gives Back Celebrity Golf Classic in Valencia, California, November sixth. Confirmed to celebrity golfers include Ray Romano, Jim Jeffries, Andrew Santino, Matt Walsh, Jeff Gorland, Greg Fitzimmons, and the Sclar Brothers.
And those are just the comedians I told you about. It’s called the third Annual Comedy Gives Back Celebrity Golf Classic, November sixth. Let’s stop off on gossip Corner. Bob Saggett’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, was on Katie Kuork’s podcast, and this is kind of awkward. Katie Cork told Bob Saget’s widow, I had a date with him once.
As you know, I really liked him. I found him so cute and funny and amusing, and I did think we shared a pretty nice kiss in the foyer of my apartment, Kelly Rizzo said, he always thought you were lovely. He was a big fan. He adored you. Quirk joked, well, not enough to call me again, but that’s okay, because it all worked out.
He found the love of his life with you. In The Hollywood Reporter, a guest editorial by Eliza Slessinger quite lengthy. I’ll skim it here. Eliza Wright’s innocent Palestinians are enduring a pain and tragedy that I cannot fathom. They’ve been born into a deeply complex region in society, and it’s not right to treat their lives as expendable or as a solution of the problem.
I can’t say it’s right to treat them the way we, the Jews, have been treated over and over. I have to, as a Jewish person, empathize with that. I hope that others can extend the same empathy to us. I was on stage about a year ago and I mentioned Israel apropos of nothing political, and I heard people gasp. It was more a knee jerk reaction and hearing something scandalous, something we aren’t supposed to mention, like Voldemort.
Skipping ahead Eliza wrote, anti Semitism is very real and very tolerated. As a Jew, it can be nuanced and difficult to outwardly express yourself without having to compare, equivocate, and acknowledge how hard every other group has it, and in doing so, it invalidates our anger in the moment by distracting an audience from our initial rightful outrage. In order to simplify a complex issue, people often make it about color, about white versus brown. What makes it easier to rally against Jews Ignorantly, Jews are seen as quote whites unquote, or a monolith or a race, despite only thirty percent of Israeli Jews being white European Jews, people who don’t even know a Jewish person or think they don’t, will have audacious opinions on Israel or Jews in general, often using their support of Palestine to substantiate their baked in latent at times dislike of Jewish people, and their actions show it, especially in America. Skipping ahead, Eliza wrtes, it seems as if every group, especially in the last few years, has had their fifteen minutes to say, we see your bigotry and we are finally vehemently standing up for ourselves, but somehow Jews have been left off the age.
There’s a lot more to that. You’ll find that on the Hollywood Reporters website, and that brings us to awkward segue. There’s a new Looney Tunes movie coming out, this from the av Club, and they nailed it. They wrote, it’s got to be a little frustrating to be a major movie studio that also owns the Looney Tunes brand. There’s iconic characters, Bugs, Bunny, Daffy Duck.
Yet the only time the franchise has ever produced any kinds of major dividends in theaters in the modern era was by resorting to also shoving the biggest athlete on the planet into the mix. Well that’s not stopping Warner Brothers. They have confirmed that they’re working on the Day the Earth Blew Up, originally conceived as a streaming offering, but now it’s heading the theaters, so you know it’s high quality. No details on the plot yet. I assume Marvin Marshan will take place in the Day the Earth Blew Up, and he’s my favorite character, so that would be good.
Vulture watched Gavin Matt’s news special. You’ll find this on YouTube. They wrote one of the first jokes in Gavin Matt’s new YouTube stand up special Progression is about people who use the cliche all things consider. That’s pretty good to grab silver linings onto predicaments where none exist. Gavin Mattz points out, I feel like you’re not considering all things.
Sure you’re considering some things, but you’re not considering all things. You’d be crying right now. This is a dark special Rights Vulture, dense with jokes about the dying oceans, suicide, overpopulation, on the possibility that we could all have cancer right this second, and Matt’s offers no hope for deflating all that heaviness. Isn’t it nice that I put a looney tune story between everything in the back half here? What’s going on today?
Chod Well Trot’s take us fantasy about the life you would have if he could rid himself of all awareness, in one in which he trusts companies and their claims that they look out for a little guy, He says, I want to retweet my bank. I genuinely want to give my bank a retweet, like what you guys are doing on social media over at the bank. You’re killing it. Gavin Matt’s progression on YouTube this week. It’s out now.
Mike Apps has a new project. It is called Buying Back of the Block. You’ll find this on HGTV. Mike Apps is on a mission to beautify his Indiana hometown. This will hit HGTV this month.
The show will detail Epps and his wife Kira as they provide renovations and in interior design to the homes the comedians grew up around Vulture. Speaking to the twenty five comedians, you should know one of them is Zach Zucker. All right, what reality show would you be good at? Zack Sucker? He said, Survivor.
I haven’t done in a while, but as a kid, I was big into eating slugs and worms, so I’d have a huge competitive advantage. Everyone else is going to go hungry trying to get a fire started after a torrential downpour, and I’m just rolling around on the mud, putting dirt in my ears and slurping up my goopy little friends. Worst show ever. One of the first shows I ever did was called Zackzucker Real Life Human Basketball Guy Man. It was a two and a half hour improvised theater piece about a mad scientist who turns himself into a Wilson official NBA game ball.
It ruins his life, but he goes on to be the game winning dunk in Game seven of the nineteen seventy NBA Finals between the Nixon Lakers, and he gets some favors in the bathroom at Madison Square Garden. It was a one off I did at the Old Joke Beans having in La Joya. There were over one hundred people in the crowd, including my family, friends and my girlfriend at the time, who’s now a WNBA player herself. Funny enough, I like to think we all share a special bond because of that show, like the bewildered camaraderie between the onlookers of a devastating train crash. I don’t think the world was ready for it back in twenty fifteen, but basketball has been making a comeback in a big way, so it could be time for real life human basketball guy Man two, real life human hockey puck boy child at the three one two Comedy Festival that does not believe in sharing their shows on a calendar based format.
As I scrolled down, Jimmie wolf As at Zeni’s tonight. And that’s the only time I saw the words November and one next to each other. I do see a bunch of November twos.
