Caloroga Shark Media. Buckle up again. Wow, Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. There’s like four things that could be the lead story. Let’s start with Joe Koy again.
Now. Yesterday I took the position that was kind of counter to the narrative, and I said, Joe Coy’s material wasn’t that bad, and maybe Taylor Swift could have laughed a little. That seems to be an opinion gathering some popularity. Megan Kelly to Joe Coy’s defense. Megan and I don’t often agree, but Meghan said, one of the jokes getting a lot of attention is Joe Cooy made a joke about Taylor Swift, which was fine.
I actually thought he was spot on with the commentary. She did not appreciate it. Can’t she just show like she’s a good sport. I think she made the wrong move. Joe Coy’s a little down on himself.
He was on Good Morning America and said the Taylor one was a little flat. It was a weird joke. I guess no, it wasn’t. Joe. Everybody says it every football game.
It was not a bad joke. Stick to your guns. That joke was fine. Taylor could have smiled at it. The Taylor Swift one was a little flat.
It was a weird joke, I guess, but it was more in the NFL. I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the globes didn’t have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn’t come out that way. Yes it did.
It just Taylor iced you. Megan Kelly said, by the way, she’s not in charge with the number of times the NFL chooses to put her on cam. That’s not her fault. It’s annoying and if she were smart, she should laugh like she was in on the joke. I’ve told the audience, I’m still listening to barbistro Izan’s memoir.
It’s a thousand pages and I have a life to live. But one of the things they revisit the book is The Way We Were, which, of course, you know we’ve all seen Robert Redford. I went back and I watched it, and i’d forgotten the scene in the opening part of the movie where she’s like this activist on campus and she’s port of communism, and it makes some crude joke behind her and she gets angry, and later Redford says to her, you should have laughed, and she said it wasn’t funny, and he says that it’s funny is not the only reason to laugh at something. Joe Coy and Good Morning America said I had fun. You know.
It was a moment. I always remember, it’s a tough room as a hard job. I’m not gonna lie. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt poor guy. I hit a moment where I was like, ah, hosting is a tough gig.
Yes, I’m a stand up comic, but that hosting position, it’s a different style. I kind of went in and did the writer’s thing. We had ten days to write. This monologue was a crash course. I feel bad, but I gotta still say I loved what I did.
Kevin Hart, who’s doing ton of press this week because he’s got this thing on Netflix on Friday, Kevin Hart came to the defense of Joe Coy and said, I think Joe Coy is an amazing comedian, always has been. It’s a tough room, and without the knowledge and understanding of how to navigate a room, you can have some moments, some bumps. Joe Coy is a talented, funny, effing guy and forever will be. People want to highlight the world bad, but Joe will be good and always has been. The Daily Mail asked Kevin Hart if he would ever consider hosting a big awards show again.
Rate wasn’t he going to host? Was it the Emmys or whatever? And that didn’t happen because they went back and looked at his material? What was that story? Ah?
Yes, he was going to host the Oscars. From Variety December sixth, twenty eighteen, Just forty eight hours after agreeing to host the Academy Awards, Kevin Hart unceremoniously step down. The turn of events followed outcry over previous anti gay tweets and comments Kevin Hart made during Stand Up for Teens nearly ten years ago. At that time, Kevin posted on Instagram, my team calls me, oh my god, Kevin. Everyone’s upset by tweets he did years ago.
Guys, I’m nearly forty years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past. Do you I’m the wrong guy man here? In twenty twenty four, Kevin tells the Mail, I’m at a point in my career where there’s no value in it for me.
But I do think that it provides an amazing amount of visibility and a platform of exposure. But it’s something that’s not the easiest. Good analysis here, Kevin Hart suggests Joe Coy was an outsider to many of those in the room, saying the success of the host stems from the relationships he has with the A listers in the audience. Kevin says, when you’re in the business and you have relationships with the people in the room, it’s an easier room. I’m not sure Chris Rock would currently agree with that.
Kevin said, when you’re a little culd to the room, maybe a little more difficult and there’s a little more hesitancy to be comfortable from an audience standpoint. Good always been. I love Joe. We can’t wait to see what else Joe does. He’s made it this far.
Michael Jay weighed in on Instagram. Chase said, for one, it’s very difficult to make movie stars laugh They’re way too self conscious to have a good time too. They don’t even want to laugh. They’re too busy thinking about their careers, their speeches, and their cause. They think they want to be made fun of, but they actually don’t.
They actually just want their trophy and a nice photo. Imagine right before Game seven of the NBA Finals, he had to go in the locker room and make Lebron laugh. Woopy Goldberg came to Joe Coy’s defense, saying, if you’ve not been in these rooms before and you’re sort of thrust out there, it’s hit or miss. I love Joe Coy. It makes me just crazy because he’s funny.
I don’t know whether it was the room, but I do know that he’s as good as it gets when it comes to stand up. Steve Martin came to the defense of Joe Cooy on threads Steve Martin, what are we doing? Threads three? Did? I don’t know what we do in threads posted, tweeted, threaded threaded.
I tip my hat to anybody who steps out on stage host a live awards show. It’s a very difficult job, and not for the squeamish. I know because I’m still throwing up for the last time I did it twenty ten. So congratulations to Joe Coy, who took on the toughest gigas sho business hit missed was Light on his Feet and now his twenty minutes of new material for a stand up. More on Joe Koy at the end of the podcast Today, Jimmy Kimmel got into it again with Aaron Rodgers on Kimmel’s show on Monday Night.
He referred to the quarterback as Karen Rodgers. I kind of like that. That’s fun. You may recall. On January tewod on the Paton McAfee show, Aaron Rodgers said, there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, were really hoping that doesn’t come out meeting the Epstein list.
Kimmel said, either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that. He just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lives about being vaccinated. He’s particularly upset, I think because I made fun of the fact that he floated this wacko idea that the UFO sidings that were in the news in February were being reported to distract us from the Epstein list. Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being.
He generally thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everybody else. The idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him. We learned during COVID. Somehow he knows more about science than scientists. A guy who went to community college that got in a cal on a football scholarship and didn’t graduate, someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology.
He put on a magic helmet and the g made him a genius. Aaron got two a’s on his report card. They were both in the word Aaron. Okay, can you imagine this hamster brain man thinking he knows what the government is up to because he’s a quarterback, doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts. Kim Will thinks Rogers is too arrogant to know how arrogant he is, but he would accept an apology, but I bet he won’t.
If he does, you know what I’ll do. I’ll accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that. Kim will Will ended his monologue by showing a picture that involved former President Trump and said, by the way, if you’re looking for someone who actually was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein who called him a terrific guy and bragged about his affinity for younger women, I have very good news for you. Epstein hunters more from Kimmel.
We say a lot of things in the show. We don’t make up lies. In fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to sift through the facts and reputable sources before I make a joke. And that’s an important distinction, a joke about someone, even when that’s someone is Donald Trump, even a person who lies from the minit he wakes up until the minite smearing orange makeup on his MyPillow at night, even he deserves that consideration, and we give it to him because the truth still matters. When I do get something wrong, which happens on rare ocasions, you know what I do.
I apologize for it, which is what Aaron Rodgers should do, which is what a decent person would do. But I bet he won’t. One more joke from Kim. Well, they let him host Jeopardy for two weeks, now he knows everything. Well, it was Tuesday, so Aaron Rodgers went back on the Pat McAfee show.
Rogers started off by reminding of the listeners viewers that their little beef goes back to COVID times when Jimmy Kimmel and made jokes about my immunization. Aaron said he didn’t like Oh Kim Will mentioned unvaccinated people don’t deserve treatment, or that if they’re at a hospital, they shouldn’t get a hospital bed. Rogers also took a swipe but doctor Faucie, calling him one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation during COVID times. Aaron Rodgers said, in my opinion, Jimmy Kimbill rip me about the VACS, and it turns out to be an l on many occasions because the VACS was not safe and effective like we were told it was in the beginning. There are a lot of injuries that we’ve seen related to the vaccine.
Aaron Rodgers said. Many people interpreted his words as alluding to Kimmel being associated with Epstein, reading the quote here quote A lot of people, and I’m quoting myself, A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping the list doesn’t come out. End quote. Rogers said, I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, which again hasn’t come out yet, this was just a deposition. Aaron continued and said, I totally understand how serious allegations of pedophilia would be, so for him to be upset about that, I get it.
I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot, and he made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of all that with absolutely zero evidence. That’s ridiculous. Rogers accused the media of trying to get him canceled, saying, if you look at all the different people have been censored, especially during COVID, the canceling that went on on the censorship, using the government to try and censor people. If that happened, if doesn’t work, they go to name calling. I still haven’t popped a bottle because there hasn’t been any list that comes up.
I’m glad Jimmy’s not on the list, I really am. I don’t think he’s the P word. I think it’s impressive that a man went to Arizona State and has ten joke writers can read it off the prompter. Geez oh, come on, guys. My education at JUCO and my three semesters at CAL that I’m very proud of has worked out for me, and I’m glad to see it’s worked out for him as well.
I wish I’m the best. I don’t give a hoot what he says about me, as long as he understands what I actually said and that I’m not accusing him of being on a list. I’m all from moving forward. Pat McAfee later brought up that after rogers comments, many people took to social media to call Jimmy Kimmel all sorts of things and Rogers said and that sucks. I condemn that one hundred percent.
That’s ridiculous, Like any type of name calling, I’m not calling them one and neither should use. So it’s not backing me up or making me feel good. If you’re doing that, let me make that crystal clear. I don’t take any effing joy out of anyone doing that, don’t do that in my name, don’t do that at all. Those are serious accusations meant for people who are on that list.
We are long here in the first half, but there’s so much to tell you about. Remember the whole Cat Williams thing. Well, Kat’s going out on tour and guess who’s coming on tour with him. Kevin Hart’s ex wife, Yes, Tory Heart announced she’s going on to with Kat. Tory and Kevin divorced in twenty eleven.
That’s fun. D Ray Davis is calling for a battle of the comedians after cat Gate. He says, comedy’s different because the beefing go to the streets. It ain’t leaking over. I think it’s a light sparing.
I think they should take it to the stage, all of them. I’m willing to participate. I love it. We can all do five minutes back to back, brand new freestyle. We come up with the rules like boxing, no preaching, Let’s go to specifics, let’s go to joke, let’s get to writing.
I love it. Comedy world needed this energy. The world needed to see it’s not just jokes, it’s jokes and smokes. De Ray Davis also weighed in on the allegation that Centric the entertainer stole Kat Williams. Bit Davis said, I saw the premise, but I didn’t see the similarities.
I’m not trying to catch smoke with Cat either. The Man with Nine Lives ed Lover has agreed with Kat Williams claims that Steve Harvey hated on Bernie macbridors death. Ed Lover said, the stuff that Kat Williams said about Steve Harvey calling to try and get Bernie’s role on Ocean’s eleven, that kind of stuff Bernie told me out of his own mouth. I believe Bernie Mack when he said Steve Harvey hated on him. Kat Williams at a key Harvey of watching fellow comedian Mark Curry do his whole Hanging with Mister Cooper sitcom and then stealing everything Mark Curry had.
Kat Williams said, Now Steve got a sitcom where he’s the principal and he’s wearing a suit, and then he gets this high top fade making all black men think he’s got the best lineup in the business, and it’s a man unit.
And then you ask him why you’re not a movie star, and he says I didn’t want t…
There are thirty thousand new scripts in Hollywood every year, and not one of them masks for a country bumpkin black dude that can’t talk good and look like mister potato Head. There ain’t none. You have to have range. Oh, this is so much fun. I didn’t even tell you about Pete Davidson yet, but I need a drink of water.
Hang on. Pete Davidson will star in two new commercials for Tatinos during NFL playoff season. Pete Davidson spoke about Toatino’s and said, I’ve been honing my skills and becoming a grill master, but I’m always a fan of making spaghetti. I know some people don’t like leftovers, what I actually enjoy finishing my leftovers. In his ants for Tatinos, Pete Davison hopes to inspire fans to ditch pizza in favor of pizza rolls.
For the upcoming Super Bowl, Pete says, Oh, invite my friends over watch the game. I’ve been doing that for the past few years. In addition to Tatino’s, which of course he serves, He says he also in addition to the Tatinos serves chips, salsa, and other dips, plus wings and candy. Pete tells people, I’ve always been a huge fan of Tatinos. The bite sized pizza rolls will make the perfect and acts for Game Day, which I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid.
So when the brand approached me about this campaign, I had to say Yes, I get to eat all the Tatino’s pizza rolls my heart desires. While on Settin, who gets to say that Pete’s News Special is out on Netflix. I have not watched it yet. At the time of this recording, Pete Davidson Turbo Fonzarelli spoilers Rolling Stone says it’s far and away his most confident, assured, and hilarious one yett oh, that’s good, following rapid fire jokes about everything from a Make a Wish scenario gone awry and navigating his stalker to a confusing childhood crush on Titanic era Leonardo Dicamprio. Early on in the special, Pete talks about attending Aretha Franklin’s funeral while high on Kennemine.
He jokes if she was there, she’d probably be like, Hey, who are you and what the eff are you’re doing at my funeral? I won’t spoil the punchline there. I’m reading it. It’s pretty good. Pete talks about dating Ariana Grande and says he’d never been prouder than when he thought Bill Clinton was ogling her.
Wow. Dennis Leary is going to co star. No Good Deed, a half hour dark comedy eight episodes, follows three very different families trying to buy the same house. I’ve talked about this in the past. Ray Romano is in this.
Sabby Jacobsen, Poppy Loo. She’s on What Is the Terrible Thing? On Apple TV with Rob mcalaney called the video game one whatever, It’s not good that one. Tina Fey is going to start a series on Netflix. This an adaptation of the nineteen eighty one movie The Four Seasons.
The original followed three couples. You take vacations together each season, and the changes in the group dynamic when one of the couple splits up and the man brings a much younger woman on subsequent trips. Are you a fan of our flag? Means death? When you’re not gonna like this, It’s over after two seasons, canceled by Max HBO Max HBO Max Max Max.
That was the pirate show rees starby started and it was okay, And back to Joe Coy. Good analysis by Viv Grosskopp in The Guardian. Viv writes after the event, it’s pointless trying to content that the material was actually not that bad, which it wasn’t. I agree where the Coy’s delivery had its moments of charm and professionalism, which it did. I agree, because comedy elludes analysis, justification or explanation.
It’s either funny in the moment or it’s not. There’s no arguing with Tumbleweed, or it’s deadly. Celebrity equivalent Taylor Swift on camera taking the tiniest of dainty SIPs of her drink. A lot of comedies about contexts and establishing who you are in relation to the audience. So in some ways Joe Coy’s stint is more impressive than recent Golden Globes bookings because his work would not have been especially familiar to a lot of the audience in the room or at home.
Yes, I saw a lot of people saying they had never heard of him before. That’s why high status performers like Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Kimbler, Chris Rock have a natural buy in. When they walk on stage. There’s a ready made expectation of where they will take things. That’s really good analysis, viv.
So you can work with that and you can subvert it. Gervaise has often played these hosting gigs almost with the express intention of explicitly eliciting gasp of horror or intakes of breath rather than cozy laughs. And it works because you know he intended it, and that is your comedy needs for today. My voice is shod. That was a lot.
If you enjoy the show, tell a friend about it. I’m gonna go have some water or a coffee or something. See tomorrow.
