Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News from Hip Hop DX. Dave Chappelle auctioned off fifty cents. What hip Hop DX rites? Fifty cent may have a reputation as one of the most feared men in the ramp game, but that has and stop Dave Chappelle from using him as fuel from his comedy AMMO.
They were at Reggie Jackson’s Mister October Foundation over the weekend and Chappelle jokingly auctioned off mister sent. Chappelle apparently compared the location, which was a Florida golf club. No, not that one, a different one, to a scene from the Jordan Peele film get Out, before joking to the largely white crowd that fifty was for sale. I’ve seen the clip myself. This really happened, Chappelle said, mister Jackson has transcended the odds of the black community and came all the way out here to the get Out resort.
Surprise Fellas, the auction begins right now. How much do you want for this big buck? Fifty apparently thought it was funny and a scene cracking up in the video. If you want to check it out for yourself. If you google it, it’ll come up.
Bob Odenkirk is related to King Charles, who knew Bob Odenkirk didn’t. He was on PBS’s Finding Your Roots. On Finding your Roots, host Henry Lewis Gates helped celebrities learn about their family history, Odenkirk learned that he and King Charles are eleventh cousins. I’m pretty sure you and I are eleventh cousins. Oden Kirk said, that is crazy.
Apparently, Bob Odenkirk’s father’s fifth grade grandfather was born out of Woodlock to Maria Katharia Bain and the Duke of Plum. Oden Kirk said, I’m an American. I’m not a monarchist. I don’t believe in ah that you know. I feel it’s a little twisted.
I understand why society built itself around monarchs and leaders and they passed them down through generations. I understand that goes through every society, every civilization. But I think that we’ve gotten a better place with democracy and we should just keep going down that road. Bob, you should just call Prince hang out with him.
Meanwhile, on that same show, Eliza Selessenger finds out that her great gran…
The brother was a textile dealer who was still in Poland when the Nazis showed up in September of nineteen thirty nine. Host Gates confirms that Slessinger’s family didn’t discuss Leipa’s story and asks her to relate Ester’s feelings towards her brother. Eliza said, I can’t beginning to imagine this. I don’t think I want to. He then shows her some pictures from the ghetto and asks her how seeing those images and learning that personal connection made her feel.
Eliza said, when you look at pictures from history atrocities committed against your own people in particular, there’s always that poll. But I never thought I had any actual connection because I didn’t know any of that history. All right, Johnny Mack, this is a lot of fun. How are you gonna pull this one out? Let me turn things over to David Letterman.
Taylor Swift. I don’t think in the history of show business, in the history of popular culture, we’ve ever witnessed anything like this tremendous. She fills stadiums around the world and puts on a three hour s Oh no, we live in a world now where all we hear is nonsense and ugliness, and the nonsense can’t be more nonsensical, and the ugliness, God hopes it can’t get any uglier. But that’s all we hear. That’s all we hear.
So now here’s Taylor Swift, who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the world. And she starts dating Kelsey Grammar and people, no, that’s not true. What yes, yeah, an interesting parent and people go crazy. And the Kelsey Grammar people say, oh, no, no, no, don’t bother us. We’re all caught up in football.
We don’t want Taylor in football. And the Taylor Swift people, the swifties, are saying, oh, we don’t want a footballer in here with Kelsey Grammar. And I’m saying, huh, Travis Kelsey, right, Travis Kelcey, and I say to both camps, this is such a lovely thing. Shut up. It’s good for the footballers, it’s good for Taylor Swift, and it’s something positive they’ve been happy for the world.
And also politically, Taylor Swift is a huge force and I think just wants to see people do the right thing, So God bless Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammar. That’s all I have to The Danes are annoyed with Chris Rock from games Radar You’re Home for comedy news. Comedian Chris Rock has signed on to direct the English language remake of Another Round. Fans of the Danish original are not happy about it. The original centers on four teachers as they try to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the working week, having stumbled on a theory that it makes people more creative and successful.
One Danish fan tweeted American producers need to learn to keep their hands of themselves. Another said, great original stories. I’m very happy for Dusty Sligh. It seems that people watched that Netflix special and they’re now on team Johnny mach going, Yeah, Dusty Slay is really funny. Been telling you that for a while now.
Dusty’s special is still the only thing on the best of two only twenty four list. That’s it. The entire list is Dusty Sleigh. It’s almost February. Dusty told al as An Alabama dot com it’s an honor to even be on Netflix, but to be on there to know that people are actually watching it.
It’s like getting recognized by the industry but also by people in general, and that’s great. Dusty, described as a longed hair trekker hat sporting Opa Liga native, says, the mayor reached out and wants to meet me. I gotta tell you to get a little hometown recognition. Feels good. They have some bio here.
Since going full time as a stand up in twenty ten, leaving his job at a pesticide company, sometimes Dusty would drive two hundred and fifty miles to play a gig for two hundred and fifty bucks. On the road, he’d often eat tuna straight from the can. He stayed at dodgy motels where he feared for his life. That’s on Funny John Off the Road. He lived in a Nashville attic apartment with no insulation, freezing during the winter and in the summer sweating like hell, I didn’t know Dusty stayed any upstairs room in my house.
No, he doesn’t actually my house. He’s talking about the Nasville apartment. But you knew that already. There were plenty of unglamorous things. You’re working for years for basically no money, just hoping this turns into something one day.
Yeah, I’m just gonna remind Dusty I’m podcasting for the basement. I feel you. I don’t think my wife and kids would enjoy it if I were still making that kind of money. But for me at the time, I was like, this is what I want to be doing. I’m traveling in the country with my car with three hundred and seventeen thousand miles when I traded it in, zipping all over and leaking oil, and I loved it.
Dusty, where did you watch your specials premiere? He said? I was supposed to go to New York, but we had the snowstorm of the century in Nashville. My flight got canceled, so I went home. My neighbor was having a watch party with some of the other neighbors that took my kids and my wife.
We all went to the neighbor’s house and they put the special on. It felt like I was watching a comedian that I’m just very familiar with, and it’s fun. Gilda’s Laugh Fest is Back Baby March sixth to the tenth in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This year’s lineup Tammy Pascatelli, Josh Johnson, Piffed, the Magic Dragon and Dimitri Martin. That’s pretty good.
Tom Poppa also pretty good. We’ll be headlining the Gilda’s Club Annual Red Door Gala March fourteenth. Other events, it’s the Clean Comedy Showcase, LaughFest, Trivia Night of Stars, and The Dirty Show. Gilda’s Club is a nonprofit that provides free emotional healthcare to children, adults, families and friends on any kind of cancer journey, or those grieving the death of someone in their life due to any cause. The club is named after the iconic comedian and Detroit native Gilda Redner.
Johnny Mack has just realized he wanted to take the break there, But you have to take the break with something upbeat, So let me pull up a story. Kate McKinnon is going to be in a Super Bowl commercial. It’s for a famous mayonnaise company that can afford to buy advertising. She co stars with a cat known as Mayo Cat. The ad is to make viewers aware of food waste and how the company’s famous mayonnaise can help reduce the food waste.
Kate even spoke to Variety about this and said, I grew up on a house that was very environmentally minded and we never threw anything out, something that’s very deep in my heart. The suit from the Mayo company says, viewers want to be entertained. This is sort of a moment to entertain them. We take a very serious subjet like reducing food waste, and communicate it in a comedic way that is still relevant. All right.
What happens well in the spot, Kate McKinnon gets kitchen advice from Mayokat, who advises her to use Mayow Get It to make leftover food taste great. That’s terrible soon and this is where it becomes fun. The cat becomes famous enough to date Pete Davidson. Apparently Kate checked in with Pete to make sure that that joke would be okay, and it is.
Meanwhile, on Gossip Corner, Madeline Kleine showed her support for Pete Davi…
Yahoo tells us Klein was photographed leaving with Pete Davidson on Sunday after he performed at Helium. She kept a low profile and a beige winder coat with a matching Tommy Hill figure baseball cap while Pete Davidson sported a black hoodie under a brown jacket and a dark green Bloomfield New Jersey cap. Hmm. I totally screwed up the order today. I could just edit this stuff, but I like to let you guys know what’s going on.
Let’s see what’s happening at Sketch Fests. Seven. Brett Gilman’s inappropriation canceled. Hmm. I wonder why, uh again, I’m speculating here.
I have googled Brett Gilman and maybe perhaps some of his opinions on current events are scaring people. Maybe maybe not pure speculation there. He could just have a cold. I don’t actually know anyway, canceled. Don’t head to that.
So your other choices at seven thirty are Killing my Lobster with Cam Wiley. Killing my Lobster has been SF’s premier sketch group comedy since nineteen ninety seven. Or at seven thirty we could hit Comedy Rodeo with Hayden Crystal one, two, three, four, five, six comedians are so there, and at eight o’clock the Red Room Orchestra plays the music of Twin Peaks. That’s it, let’s go to Killing my Lobster. We can’t even hit the Anchor Brewery because it closed.
Anchor was such a good beer, and hypothetically, we did Little Italy last night. I guess we’ll do little literally again. Mike from Cleveland chimed in. He said, you probably heard this already, but Joe Gatto is from Impractical Jokers. Well, Mike and Cleveland tell Joe Gatto to put that on his Wikipedia.
So if you ask a thousand people who Joe Gatto is, nine hundred and ninety nine are going to go. I have no idea, but Mike and Cleveland’s going to go. That’s the dude from a Practical Jokers. Well done, Mike. The only Times enjoyed Kate Berlance show they wrote a would be method actor.
Kate enters into a hall of mirrors, in which overwrought versions of her life are conjured in funhouse style. She remakes her biography as though it were as held by Charles Dickens, full of villainous ogres and scrapes with melodramatic disasters. For Lance, a gifted physical comic who whipsaws between over the top grandeur and abject awkwardness, introduces her situations with a wink, and even the winks are delivered in quotation works. Somebody had the thesaurus out or ran this through her website, because there’s some pretty five dollars words in this description here. Anyway, it seems like a good show.
A lot of people are talking about that. Glenn Close says that if Christopher Reeve were still around, Robin Williams would still be alive. I saw that headline in People, and I was like, hmm, yeah. Glenn explained their friendship. Their connection is the stuff of legend and not only endured, but became a life giving force of stating them both on Friday evenings, Chris would literally swoop in piloting his own plane, scoop Robin up, and away they would fly for the weekend.
On Sunday, late afternoon, Chris would swoop back in and deliver Robin back. I have to say a little worse for wear. They were living the kind of fast and crazy life that our business can hand to you if you become a wildly famous phenomenon, particularly overnight. The Hollywood Reporter has fifty reasons we love Hollywood. One of them is your comedy.
Headliner is our open mic. They write in between tours. The biggest names in comedy drop it to their home clubs in LA to workout material and stay sharp. Adam Sandler, John Mlaney, Nik Krol, Sarah Silverman, and Judd Apatow regularly hit Largo, while Mark Maron and Margaret Show were Comedy Store regular. Sebastian Manascalco and Kamil nan Gianni perform at the Hollywood Improv Deane Cook and Craig Robinson do sets of The Laugh Factory, and Ramy Yusef and Tignazaro.
I’ve had recent shows A Dynasty Typewriter. That’s nice. I think we could say the same thing about New York City. But whatever, Riba McIntyre, good news for my mom is getting a new sitcom, or at least a pilot anyway and as yet untitled multi caam project. Riba inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she’s a new business partner and the half sister that she never knew she had.
What’s weird to me is this is for NBC. Doesn’t that sound like a CBS sitcom? My mom doesn’t know how to switch from Channel two to Channel four. She’s never gonna see this thing. Put this on CBS word Belongs and that’s your comedy news for today.
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. You could support the show at buy Me a Coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I didn’t forget about that Sandler thing. I got to actually write it.
I’m hoping to do it Saturday. We’ll see how my week goes. And if you’re hip to podcasting two point zero, you can use the Fountain app throw some SATs my way if you have no idea what I’m talking about. Sort of explaining the show notes see tomorrow
