Caloroga Shark Media. God bless you. Aaron Rodgers. Hi, I’m choii magg with your Daily Comedy News. It’s a slow news week, but Aaron Rodgers has hooked it up.
Aaron was on the Pat McAfee show. The subject turned to the Jeffrey Epstein List. If you know what I’m talking about, people who may have visited the island, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Aaron said, there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping the list doesn’t come out. I’ll sell you what if that list comes out, I’ll definitely be popping some sort of bottle.
That did not go over well with Jimmy Kimmel and I love a good celebrity fight. Jimmy Kimmel went on Twitter and by the way, elon stop with the other name. Every single reference to your platform says formally Twitter. We’re all calling a Twitter. You gotta stop.
You gotta come back to the pack with that one. Anyway. Jimmy Kimmel went on Twitter and wrote, dear ahole. He used the formal term for a hole and spelled it with a as in Aaron, dear a hole. For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, Nor will you find my name on any list other than the clearly phony nonsense that soft brain wackles like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality.
Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. On the Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Kimmel played the clip and added it might be time to revisit the concussion protocol Aarin. He also referred to Aaron Rodgers as a tinfoil hatter from TMZ. Madison Cawthorne says he loved getting roasted in Dave Chappelle’s special.
By the way, I’ve been on the reddit’s and all over the internet. I am not alone in my review of Dave Chappelle’s Not Good special. It seems everyone agrees with me. There’s like a jokes in the whole thing. Wow, what a misstep by Dave on that one.
I wonder why he released it and it came out near Z Eve. I wonder if contractually maybe he owed Netflix something I don’t know. Cawthorne tells the TMZ that Dave Chappelle is his favorite comedian and he went to one of dave shows in Tampa. Madison says Dave was floored to see him in the audience. Dave invited him backstage after the show, introducing Madison to Chappelle’s family and giving him some drinks.
In the credits of Dave Special, there’s even footage of Madison laughing in the audience and the two posts together for a photo after the set. Wow. Ricky Gervaise tweeted a screenshot of himself and Dave Chappelle’s special logos as number one and two on Netflix and said they should host the Oscars together. Yes, that would be amazing. Please make that happen.
This year’s host is Jimmy Kimmel. Boy, if that could happen in twenty twenty five, you’ll watch. Craig Robinson, he played Daryl in the Office. He’s up for a reboot. Yeah, no kidding, steady work is a good thing.
Craig. By the way, if the Office wants to cast me as you know John who sits in the back and has like one line, I’m up for it. Robinson was asked by the EV Club if you heard anything about a potential reboot, and he joked he only hears about it. While doing interviews, Craig said, I heard there was something going on. It hasn’t been mentioned to me.
If it does, I’d love to reprise Darrel at some point, But right now, I don’t know. I don’t know how you make that show happen. I mean, I guess there’s a version where Dwight is the boss and there’s some new people there, and people like I don’t know, Phyllis still work there for some reason. And what do you do with Pam? But didn’t Jim and Pam move away?
Right? So how do you work Pam back into the show? You can’t unless you want to do something awful to the characters. Are you going to really tune in for the Dwighton Oscar Show? I mean, even Kevin’s a bartender.
How does this work? I don’t know, but I’d watch. I guess I would watch, but it’s probably best left alone. Creator Greg Daniels said in November that no spin off of reboot talks are happying officially. He’d rather make a sister show instead of recasting the characters.
If you’re in Australia. The Office is getting a female led remake. Felicity Ward will play the manager of packaging company Finley Krtik. If you’re on Hulu, there’s an Indian version that I’ve been checking out. That’s not bad at all.
It is a slow newsweek. Mark Norman was profiled sword of kind of by The New York Post. I don’t know what the point of this article was other than the link to buy some tickets to Mark Norman show, and maybe the Post gets a commissioned I don’t know. Mark Noman’s own The New York Post. In an exclusive interview, all right, relax, he’s not exactly Tom Cruise there, Norman said, I got a hot new hour.
We’re cooking Baby. Last night. I did six sets some such a horror for stage time. When I was in Baltimore. I did the twenty five hundred seat Lyric Theater and I had a good set, and then my buddy goes, I know this bar show about thirty minutes away, and we did it.
Then The Post writes to Norman, it’s not just about getting up and telling jokes, though he knows how much of an effort audiences make to go out and see live comedy and wants to deliver an amazing experience in return. Is it a slow newsweek? Johnny Mack? You asked the New York Post? Huh, Norman said, you gotta get people a show.
They got a babysitter, they’ve been on a college shirt, and they’re trying to get laid, So you gotta ring a baby. Plus, I got a hot chunk on culture appropriation. That’s really cooking to me. If I can get laughs on an icy topic, that’s what comedy is all about. That’s the entire article, John, Is it a slow news week?
Why? I wanted to tell you that Tom sigor is playing Hong Kong on the eighth. No, that’s not an interesting Sigora said. I’ve always wanted to go back to Hong Kong. The city feels alive.
It feels like a city that never sleeps, and part of it is intoxicating. The food was outrageously good. We went to a restaurant and had a three hour dim sum feast. When I’m most looking forward to no offense. It’s not performing a show there, it’s going there to eat and just hang out.
By the way, I was too lazy to pull the audio on this week’s Two Bears, One Cave Sigora and ber Krascher. They started talking about organizing a five k Krayser is talking about running a seven minute mile, and Segora goes, you know, do you mean seven to fifty nine or do you mean seven? And Kryscher is saying seven Chraysier is fifty one. I don’t see that happening. I will be mighty impressed, per Kraser, if you hand in even one seven minute mile.
Dude, Johnny Mack, can you run a seven minute mile? No, Johnny Mack can’t. Ten years ago when I did my first marathon, I was doing the Ruckers Half Marathon and I finished the first half of it in like fifty nine minutes and change. You can do the math there. That’s nearly ten minute miles.
And that was a decade ago when I was more fit, and I wasn’t that fit then, And I don’t know. Burt Kreischer, sure, seven minute mile, Good luck anyway. Sigora talked about his wife, Christina p who’s also comedian, said she’s a way better joke writer than I am. She writes structurally better things, and I’m more of a storyteller. We don’t compete against each other.
I know it’s with some comedy couples that have tension in the relationships because they’re competing. That just isn’t very healthy. No matter what the couple does for a living, Well, how does it work out? If Tom Sigore is in Hong Kong, Tom says, somebody’s always home. We’re lucky that we have the same agent, so he knows if he’s booking me this week that he’s not going to book Christina.
But if Tom’s home the next week, he can book Christina. She doesn’t like touring as aggressively as I do sometimes, so it always works out. Johnny Mack, do you have a file labeled leftovers? Why? Yes, I do.
Why do you ask because John Marco SIREESSI you talk to the pit news about crowd work, and John Marco, who’s fantastic comeding, keep an eye on him. He says, First of all, I feel very often I just don’t post the failures. I think it’s like when you do crowd work, you’re performing with someone else. Usually they’re not a performer’s You kind of have to adapt to what they’re giving you. If they answer something weird.
You got to follow them on that track. If they go off on a tangent that isn’t regularly funny, you have to find a way to curve it back to the unique thing. It’s a dance, but it all depends on the audience member. The greatest skill is learning when to bail, learning when to go. There’s nothing happening here.
We’re sticking with it until something funny emerges, which every once in a while you wait a while and then boom. It was all worth it. But it’s tough, and I do a fair amount of it, and I don’t consider myself an expert at it. I think it’s a really challenging skill to always make it good. Good question here from the Pit News their question, I discovered you through social media clips.
Platforms like Insta and TikTok have become powerful outlets for stand up comedians. How have they changed what it means to be an up and coming comic? I like this question. John Marco feeld it well, he said, I ultimately think it changes things for the worst, and the sense that when I perform, it’s no longer just for the people in the room. Crowd work is a perfect example there’s times when I probably could have ended a crowd work interaction sooner, but my mind, I’m going, ah, I’ve been trying to get longer videos for youtubes, so I’m gonna keep pushing it, keep exploring.
Now, I don’t think I’d ever sacrifice a show for the clip, but it’s in my head. There’s a thing that is thinking of the outside camera, and it’s cool in the sense where I can capture the moment, capture topical joke, can share it beyond the audience in the room. On the other hand, you could say that because of social media and having to release more material, that I mix up my act more than I would have otherwise, so you get more fresher perspectives. But ultimately, I think most comedians would admit it hurts the art form where it makes it harder to do well because you have to be functioning on two cylinders. May Martin talked to they Cultured magazine on dating.
This also from the leftover folder. But I saw a news item this week about May Martin dating. May is in a relationship with Parvati from Survivor Remember Porvadi? Will They’re dating? Culture asked May is there one day you’ve been on where we’re like from top to bottom.
This was utter chaos. May said, I went to an Airbnb and big bear with someone I was dating in the middle of winter, snow everywhere. We get in the hot tub and the door locked behind us. We’re in the mountains, there was ice on the road. We had our phones and called the airbnb host and they said we can get you in about an hour.
We huddled in the hot tub and the freezing cold until the chlorine bleached my black bathing suit orange. The guy finally came, but he forgot his key. He ended up taking off the edges. She broke up with me a week later. I don’t think this because of that, but definitely and help.
If you need something to watch, go on the eight hundred Bound Garillas YouTube channel at seven o’clock Central time today and Tommy O’Regan’s Suspicially Nonchalant will make its premiere. And that is your pretty light comedy news for today. If you enjoy the show, A couple of things you can do. You could go to buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News.
There are some money on the tipgr I’ll thank you on the Earn on the air says, I’m a radio guide. There’s no on the air, John, it’s a podcast. I’ll thank you on the downloaded file on your mobile device, and I’ll take your money and I’ll get a large iced coffee with caramel and milk. I really want to go back to the butter per can, but I have noticed the butter per can increases the likelihood of kidney stones. And believe me, you don’t want kidney stones.
TMI, y yes, TMI. Another thing you can do, if you know what podcasting two point zero and value for value is, you can use the Fountain app. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can google those terms, or you can look in the show notes. Anyway, hopefully Aaron Rodgers shoots back at Jimmy Kimmel and we can have an all out war, or Chappelle does something crazy, or we’ll see if Pete Davidson actually does a show on the sixth. But yeah, Slow News Day, thank you for listening.
To see you tomorrow.
