The Shark Deck. I’m Chenny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. I thought i’d do something a little different this morning. I woke up check the email. Aaron had gone to buy meat coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News and hit the ten dollar donation, So let’s go get a nice coffee.
In the meantime, I watched Jim Jeffrey’s new special on What’s that one on? See I’m not in front of the laptop, I have to use my actual brain Netflix. It’s on Netflix. It’s called High End Dry. Liked it a lot.
I’m going to spoil the content in a second, but let me babble on about the title. I thought I was going crazy because I had made a point that the name of the special was high end Dry with an end in the middle, and then I hit play on it and it’s high ampersand dry, and I’m like, am I crazy? But I did some googling and I went back to the trailer and it used to be called high End Dry. I also noticed, as I was putting together the show on Tuesday that there were no articles about the new special. I thought about a little bit in retrospect for the spoilers I’ll tell you about in another few seconds.
Here, I was thinking, how that’s a little odd because usually there’s a bunch of articles on Vulture or the Comics Comic where people have gotten screeners at these things. And I’m wondering if Netflix did not put screeners out because and here come the spoilers. Jim does a lengthy section, a very funny section, but a lengthy section about the LGBTQ community. He follows a similar path that Chappelle did two specials ago, where he breaks the community up into the individual letters and starts analyzing the individual letters. Get some good belly laughs out of that.
Jim even addresses whether or not it will be controversial and makes the joke that he likes press. I’m curious to see if this will start a firestorm or not. And this makes me wonder did Netflix deliberately not send out screeners because you know, it’s Netflix and that topic and they’ve been in hot water about that topic before. Is that going to happen again? We’ll see regardless.
Jim Jeffery’s high end dry on ampersand in the middle, very very funny special. It’s not better than Nate Burgatzy special, but it’s definitely going to make the end of the year list, so I recommend that you checked it out. So from memory, the list right now is number one, Nate Burgatzy, number two, Jim Jefferies number three, the Roast of Mister Peanut not qualifying for the End of the Year list, Mark Marin Nor Andrew Santino. Netflix also put under me a special by somebody named doctor Ken Leong. I think it was Ken.
This one was filmed in Singapore, seemed to be targeted at the Malaysian community, a lot of local references, so I wasn’t really feeling it. I’m not saying it’s bad. I was just like, all right, I don’t understand the local humor here, so I bailed on that pretty quickly. All right, I’ve now reached the National Donuts chain again. Aaron, who support of the show, she went to buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News and she hit the ten dollar donation.
So I’m going to use half of that donation right now and get myself a large ice coffee with caramel and milk, and here we go. Have a good day. Alrighty, Aaron, I got my ice coffee here.
Also picked up some stuff from my mom.
Gonna jump back in the car and let me hand you off to future me, who’s back in the studio on a proper microphone. Thanks eron, So that’s buying meat coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I’m seeing a lot of good reactions to the Jim Jeffrey Special, although Vulture pointed out that Jim’s joke about balding spoilers wasn’t the most original thing in the special. Jim jokes take a tablet every day to keep my hair looking this effing crappy. But I can’t take it every day anymore because if I take it every day, my penis doesn’t work.
So I have a couple of options in life. Either I have hair, or I can’t have sex with people anymore, or I’m bald and no one wants to have sex with me. I clean that up, obviously, but Vulture says comedians have been making a version of that joke for years. In twenty twenty one, Dry Bar Comedy put out a thirty one minute compilation about the subject titled Losing Hair Isn’t Fair. Some examples.
Ornie Adams in two thousand and six, he joked, you lose your erections. That’s what I need my hair for. What a great solution. Sorry about my penis, honey, but did you see my hair? Twenty thirteen, Master Browny, what’s the point a full head of hair?
But nothing’s working down there? Pete Davidson twenty sixteen. He says, I have all my hair and girls still want to get with me. But I’m infinite, so I could care less. Mark Normand at twenty seventeen I got paranoid.
I was losing my hair. I started taking prophetia, could not get a direction. This girl I was dating at the time was like, hey, gotta get off those pills. I’d rather you have an direction than hair, which is nice to hear, but only makes sense when you’re dating somebody that doesn’t work in the beginning, Like if I was a ball guy that hit on her at a bar, Hey, can I buy you a drink? She’s like I’m good.
I’m like, ah, I have a boner. Charles Gould in twenty nineteen, in his joke he speaking with a therapist. I could take a pill, but what’s the point of having hair if he can’t get a boner? Boy? Everybody has done this joke.
Huh is there a side effect that would stop you from taking it? What if you lost a two? Matthew Brossard twenty two two. He joked about the side effects, saying, that’s like if adderall made you dyslexic. Nice job, drybar, Nice job of Vulture.
Dave Chappelle put out a new episode of The Midnight Miracle that’s his podcast. Dave said, I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. There’s two things I think about, what does that feel like? And of course the greatest cultural impact? Right.
He then applied his logic to awards, saying Michael Jackson swept for Thriller. He won every Grammy he was up for, except for one, which was Best Song. What beat Thriller for Best Song? Anybody? Does anybody know every breath you’d take by the police take it easy, my boy?
Is what difference does it make? The best song is a completely subjective metric. He discussed Kevin Hart and said he’s very impressed with Kevin Hart as a comedian. He’s like, actually incredibly good at it. But Kevin from early on had a very specific notion about who and what he wanted to be, and it was big.
You know, he plays stadiums. Everything in his mind is big. It was a choice him being big, was a skilled shot, was a hole in one. I want this, he said, exactly what he had to say the way he had to say it to be exactly what he wants to be. One of his co host said, everything is not for sale.
Everybody pays a price. Chapelle said, that’s why I quit Chappelle’s show. If I finished the show one of the circumstances at that time, I don’t think I would have ever been the same. He said he grew uncomfortable with the socially irresponsible sketches he was doing at the time something inside of me that I needed. I would have had to let go of it for that, and I couldn’t let go of it to keep going.
Very interesting there, Ella Magazine in the headline, Remember Roseanne Barr, not for her Fox special, but for who she once was. Interesting. Take let’s take a closer look, Elle mag writes. Early viewers of the special, I have not seen it, have said the thing is like fingernails on a blackboard. But Roseanne sold Fox News the stand up stage is a great place to discuss cancel culture itself and how horrible it is.
It was made in response to being fired. LGBTQ Nation says, Roseanne Barr’s fresh comedy routine is addressed a Fox’s target demographic, old people whose kids don’t talk to them anymore. Clips of the seventy year old jokes Wow, She’s seventy released online so far have also drawn ire, whether it’s for digs about gender or just generally sounding out of such with jokes that land with a thud. But La mag points out Roseanne broke ground with her portrayal of money’s major role in the American family. Talking about her sitcom.
In towns that sit between the working class in the middle class, most of the men labored in the local plants, the women, mostly mothers, stayed home work part time, found a side hustle like running a daycare out of their house. This was basically the background of Roseanne. Her various part time jobs, combined with her husband Dan’s ins and outs with financial insecurity. Money was always a necessary through line and one that hadn’t been shown realistically on TV before either. They add since it aired.
Roseanne has been sighted several times over the decades since its bizarre ninth and final season as having been far ahead of its time in terms of the inclusion of everyday folks who happened to be gay or bisexual. Sandra Bernhard’s Nancy, a regular character on the show, came out in season five, and Barr’s character at one point shares an on screen kiss with Nancy’s girlfriend, played by guest star Meryl Hemingway. Later depicted the wedding of Rosanne’s boss, Martin Maule’s Leon to his boyfriend Scott. Back in twenty ten, Joshua Kirpet wrote in Vulture, Rosanne did more for the ways homosexuals are portrayed on television than any single gay character a couple has done in the years following. In twenty twenty three, Fox Nation may have been willing to give her a chance, but there may not be more to see hear of her late period still pro maga comedy stick.
Yet no one’s ready to get the hook and pull her off stage either, as long as it’s profitable for that, We’ll have to wait and see.
Speaking of Fox News, some comedians are upset at Tucker Carlson.
He has a new documentary called The Death of Comedy. Overreact Much Tucker. In the trailer, Tucker Carlson says, comedy’s the hallmark of a free society. The one thing that people currently in power can’t stand is being made fun of. Is that comedy it is now, Come on, man, give me a break with that.
The trailer features quotes from a number of comedians, including Jimmy Doer, Adam Carolla, and Louis c. K. A clip of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is also included. Nimish Patel is featured in the trailer. He said, this is non sens comedy is thriving.
There was a reason I didn’t due Sucker Carlson back in twenty eighteen. No one hears a martyr for comedy. Everybody featured in the trailers selling out theaters and making money. Myself included stop this fake victim bs from my San Antonio. George Lopez has privately apologized to Ralph Barbosa till the other day about this one.
This version of the article cleans it up a little and just says, you know. On the podcast, George said he didn’t know who Barbosa was it didn’t understand how he’s blowing up. The actual quote was, nobody knows who that mother effer is while you’re saying his name. The Only Times reported that a representative for Barbosa confirmed that Lopez called Ralph personally and they spoke about what happened. Barbosa’s manager said, George apologized and acknowledged the hard work that Ralph has been putting in on the road.
It was a very amical conversation that Ralph appreciated. Apparently there’s an anecdote going around how comedian Eric Estrada blew off George Lopez when Lopez was seventeen years old. Lopez said Estrada refused to shake his hand, and from that moment, Lopez publicly said he would never treat someone like that at the start of their career. After seeing the comments from Lopez, Borbosa went on Instagram and rope It’s all good, baby. The future is now old Man quick Kid from Gossip Corner.
Eric Andre and Emily Radikowski they went Instagram official on Valentine’s Day? How did they do it? There’s a photo eric Andre is laid out fully newte on a couch. He’s hold on a glass of wine. There’s a hard emoji block in the good parts.
He did not tag Radikowski in the post. However, she can be seen in the mirror only wearing a bra. He post is captioned Happy Valentine’s Day. Did you see South Park? Oh my goodness, I gotta see my face right now.

I did, and I probably could edit the podcast, but I’m leaving it in. You know.
One of the tricks of editing is you don’t want to make the show too perfect, right, You got to leave some stumbles in and a couple of mistakes, and like, yeah, I could have cleaned it up, but I’m trying to have a relationship with you and let you see that.

Today. San Antonio based stand up comedian and comedia A Go Go Kill founder at Larry Garza has passed away at age forty one. All Larry ever wanted to do with his life was make people laugh. He did that until the very end.
He passed away Tuesday after a nearly seven year battle with cancer. He was forty one. Leaves behind his wife and two children, seventeen and two. Well. Larry was first diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer in twenty sixteen.
He didn’t want to let the disease stop him from doing what he loved. A month after doctors removed his right kidney, in less than two weeks after the removed a portion of his lung, he went on stage to a packed house and told the audience and it might sound cliche, but I didn’t want it to beat me. I didn’t want to go dark. This is how every true comedian copes with the bad stuff. We joke about it, make a joke about it, so it’s not heavy.
It’s a true example of he’s in comedy to lighten the load and let everyone know we’re okay. Nothing’s going to take our sense of humor away. He was asked what he wanted his comedy legacy to be, and he said he wanted to be remembered as that hilarious San Antonio. Comic life’s an ass kicker for everybody.
