Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny mag and it’s halftime in my world of Eagles Bucks and there seems to be enough Emmy’s News that I can now hit record. If somebody gets up later tonight and slap someone, I’ll do a bonus episode. But pretty quiet from the host chair. Anthony Anderson seems to be doing a good job.
People seem to really dislike the bit where if you go too long, Anthony Anderson’s mom chases you off. That’ll come into play in a second. Congratulations to John Oliver. Some background. Both Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver came into the Emmy Awards on a winning streak.
Oliver’s show switched categories this year and knocked off SNL, which had been on a six year streak. This is a new category Scripted Variety Series. The category was created last year. There was a rule change that group last Week Tonight with shows like SNL and A Black Lady’s Sketch Show. The change move last Week Tonight out of the talk show category it had dominated.
And then I’ll also come to play in a second anyway, So John Oliver won, And I told you about the bit with Anthony Anderson’s mom, and I’ll let John Oliver take it from here. I am not leaving without getting played off by Anthony Anderson’s mom. So I’m gonna start reading off the names of the Liverpool football team in goal Alison Becker. Then you got Trent Alexander Arnold’s. Then you got Virgil Van Dyk obviously, oh she’s not here.
I can get through the whole team then, baby, I’d like to thank Jesus and my family thing. Okay, the category switch opened the door for the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. I mentioned yesterday I was rooting for Trevor to win because he hasn’t been in the chair in thirteen months. Good for you, Trevor. And I really like Trevor.
I’ll play a lot of his speech here. He’s just so charismatic, good jokes at the beginning and the end. He gets a little serious in the middle. I told you we would beat John Olive it if he wasn’t in our category. We did it.
We got rid of John Oliver. Yo really quick. I’m so glad everybody’s coming up here. Can I just say this story has been so long, It’s been so crazy it’s been so wonderful. I stopped by thanking the crazy Africans who followed me to this country.
David Kibuka, Joseph Opiel, thank you so much, David Meyer, my partner crime, and then the writers and the team, Roywood Junior from the very beginning, Jordan Kleppo, who’s flight got canceled, the showrunner of Jen Flans, this woman rode with me through the trenches. Thank you so much to the team, to everyone who gave us an opportunity, and honestly the person I always think because he’s just a crazy genius for think of it. Hey, John Stewart, where where are you are? My friend? Thank you for calling me up, thank you for asking me to come and join you on this crazy journey.
And thank you to everybody else in this category. Thank you to these people. We did it, baby, we did it. It was really good to see Roy Wood Junior on stage behind him. The award was presented by the crew from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Rob mclaney had cracked me up.
Around eight oh five or so, he tweeted a picture where you saw Rob at the Emmys holding a phone watching the Eagles game. And the caption was something along the lines of who scheduled the Emmys up against an Eagles playoff game.

Trevor Noah, Where was I Wanda Sykes, I’m an entertainer. Trevor should have won, but the winner was John Mulini’s Baby Jay. The host of the Critics’ Choice Awards was Chelsea Handler, the ex girlfriend of Joe Coy. She told a joke that got some laughs and said thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it.
Chelsea and Joe dated for one year between September twenty one and June of twenty two.
Meanwhile, Joe Coy himself was back on stage in Saint Louis.
He was greeted with a lot of applause, and he went, holyes right, this big hug that he gave me is all I need, swear to God effing whirlwind. Prior to his arrival on stage, the report says, the crowd had been warned, no heckling, you were interrupting the show for everyone. Just don’t do it. Heckler’s will be removed from the venue. Coy addressed the Golden globes and said, lots of marshmallows.
Man, They’re delicious, but they’re soft. I just came from a different time. I see the changes that are happening. I get it, But can we effing laugh at ourselves. One spectator, who apparently didn’t need the warning, yelled out fham on Netflix today Dusty Slay’s new special working Man.
I think Dusty is fantastic. I hope the special is as good as I hope, and I hope you check it out and enjoy it as well, Taylor Tominson’s and it’s not at Midnight After Midnight. The new title of that show After Midnight debuts tonight. Jason Zinneman, who writes for The New York Times, apparently followed her for ten months. He spoke to Dustin Nickerson, a friend of Taylor Tomlinson, and said, if you want to make yourself feel sad, compare your career to Taylor’s.
Watching her this past year has been watching someone become a celebrity. Hannah Einbender described Taylor as the voice of our generation and then and this is going to keep happening because of the first name and their relative ages, before calling her the Taylor Swift of comedy. It’s such a lazy thing to do. I get it, her name’s Taylor, but like really, she talks about universal experiences, relationships, love, but in a new way. She’s the most of off comic out there.
She’s for everyone. Mind Bender pause and said it’s hard to be for everyone. Nickerson said that Taylor’s the kind of person who wants to get invited to the party but won’t attend. When asked when she’s happiness, he molded over and said, when she’s making a connection with one person. I did watch Kevin Hart’s Lift.
I think the reviews were unfair about it not being funny. It’s not trying to be funny. It’s Kevin Hart basically saying I want to be Vin Diesel and make a fast movie. It’s a heist. There are definitely some aspects that seem a little convenient and unrealistic.
I mean, he’s got this super team that can I don’t want to spoil it, but they’ve got some magic gadgets that are just so impressive. But it was watchable. I told a couple of people to watch it. Not amazing, it’s fine. If they make heist too, I’ll watch it.
It’s you know. In Netflix movie Honeymooner’s actor Joyce Randolph, who played Tricksy, passed away over the weekend. Age ninety nine Natural Causes. Jeff Dunham has announced his eleventh special, this one called I’m With Cupid. It’ll be OUs February third, John, What do you think of the title?
It will be February, John, Really, what did you think of the title? Bushwhacking their way through the topics of love, relationships and all things Valentine’s in the special are Jeff Dunham and his beloved dummy Corportz, Walter Bubba, j Panuts, Jose Halipano and he suspiciously familiar new guy Achmedes, Greek god of keeler love. Here’s a clip you I’m Walter, damn it. How’s your first dake? Go clean?
Dues in the lac seat of the car, your car on the squad car. Jeffs Donham said, if you hate Valentine’s Day, you’re really going to hate this special. Watch it with someone you love or alone with someone you hate with a beer. This was filmed in Tampa. It is the third and a three special deal with Comedy Central.
I wonder if Comedy Central will keep pumping out specials or if this is just a relic from a previous regime. If you’re in a Jeff Done A mood, they’ll show all over the map at eleven o’clock on the nineteenth, then Unhinged in Hollywood on the twenty sixth at eleven, and Jeff Done on Me the People on February second at eleven. Not sure how comedy this is, but it’s amusing. There was an auction for the props from Succession. You may recall, there’s an episode where cousin Greg brings his girlfriend Bridget to a party.
She’s not really accepted. Tom says it’s because she brought a ludicrously capacious bag. Greg. It’s mantros, it’s gargantua, and you could take it camping. The bag inspired an Internet meme and now was auction off for eighteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars.
A costume warned by cousin Greg in the first season that of a goofy knockoff mascot for the Roy’s family theme parks went for seven eight hundred change. You could have also been on the dead Scorpion paperweight, fake Forbes and New York Magazine covers with Roy family members, and a framed ATN News poster. The most expensive item the pink index cards from Roman Roy’s eulogy of his father. Those won for twenty five thousand dollars. Really, Twitter is having some fun with Kat Williams.
One person wrote, Shannon Sharp and Ocho talking Cat Williams claim that he can run a sub four five forty sprint is the comedy sketch of the year. The length of a basketball court is less than thirty two yards. To prove Kat’s claim, R and B icon Lil Moe posted a video on her Instagram page showing Cat Williams run from one side of a basketball court to another at two am. One person wrote, while a basketball court is actually only thirty yards, he runs way faster than I thought. Evan Hart made a related comment, not about that video, but this is about Cat Williams.
He said, you don’t entertain the circus. You watch it when a lion comes out and rides the bike. You don’t think about it too hard. You just go, Okay, that’s crazy, the lion’s riding a bike, and then you go home and enjoy the rest of your day. Just for laughs.
And CBC have Russell Peters Irresponsible Ensemble, an eight episodes stand up series featuring Russell Peters alongside a fresh lineup of comics. Each week. You’ll find that on the CBC Tuesdays at ten thirty pm. In the UK, Radio four announced a bunch of new comedy shows, among them one of my favorites, Phil Wang. Phil and Susie Dent will challenge guests to help create the new Ultimate Dictionary on Unspeakable that’ll layer on February eighteenth, and Randy Feldface, who’s a puppet, has a new series about what we can do to speed up climate change and bring a sweet end to life on Earth as we know it.
That is funny. You can find Randy videos on YouTube if you hunt around. I say it like it’s hidden. Go to YouTube and type in Randy Fildface. It’s not like you have to go be Indiana Jones to find this thing.
It’s not hidden, but there’s a bunch of the videos up there. They are fun. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the show, buy me Coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I’m gonna go to the smooth Place.
We’re still looking for a nickname for the Smoothie Place, or is it just going to be the Smoothie Place at this point? Or if you’re hip to podcasting two point zero use the Fountain app. There are some SATs my way, and I’ll figure out what to do with cyber money. Actually, what I will do is I’ll support fellow creators with it. I’ll just take your SATs and I’ll share them with other shows.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s in the show notes. Anyway, See you tomorrow.
