Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Chilly Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Pretty robust for a Sunday. I did the saidlor thing yesterday, so that bumps some of the stuff to today. I mentioned the end of Friday’s episode.
Some people thought Amy Schumer looked different. She has now addressed it on Instagram. Amy Schumer said, you’re right, it is puffy or than normal right now meeting her face. I have entremetriosis, an autoimmune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now, but I’m okay.
Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face. I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance, as all women do for almost twenty years. She goes on to say she doesn’t think she or any woman should have to explain their appearance, but that she wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in like every other woman slash person. Some days I feel confident and good as hell, and others I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong and beauty and so proud of this TV show I created, wrote, start in and directed.
Maybe, just maybe we can focus on that for a little while. While she was making one of the appearances, this one on Jimmy Fallon, she said, it’s hard to go on the tour right now because who are we competing with? Who’s been filling up our feeds? Beyonce and Taylor Swift. She said she loves both of them and has seen them both in concert and jokes, I can’t compete with this.
Why can’t I have backup dancers? The Podcast Academy has announced one hundred and ninety two nominees across twenty seven categories, as well as a Governor’s Award and an Impact Award. As podcasting gets out of control, what are we even doing? Folks? These ceremonies will be March twenty six that the J W.
Marriott La Live, Los Angeles. The nominees for Best Comedy Podcast are Bad Dates, Conan O’Brien needs a friend, How did this get made? Let’s make a rom com Love it or leave it? The Big Flop and wait, wait, don’t tell me. For whatever it’s worth, if you go to Apple Podcasts, the comedy shows are Joe Rogan, John Stewart, call Her Daddy, Smortless Conan, Theo Vaughn, The Toast Giggly Squad with Hannah Berner, The Commercial Break and Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast with Shane Gillis, Andrews Santino and Bobby Lee at number eleven, Bert and De Sigora at twelve.
So obviously the podcast Awards have their pulse on what people are actually listening to. You know, what people are actually listening to. They’re listening to Neil Brennan’s Blocks at least Richard is, because he’s shot me a note in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group that was one hell of a segue, Johnny Man, you did that kind of nicolator, right, Richard knows I dig at Dusty Sleigh. So I ran it through my little transcription machine. I haven’t finished listening to it.
So what I do is when one of these comes up, I run it through the transcription, and then as I listened to it, I kind of keep notes of like, oh, yeah, thirty six minutes, you want to get the part where they said blah blah blah blah blah. But since I haven’t actually listened to it, just reading the transcript. I don’t know what to look for, but the part I listened to you explain that way too long, John, I know, I know they were discussing at Dusty’s catchphrase we’re having a good time, and how it works best when Dusty is bombing. He said, that’s where it came from. I was doing a show at a pizza place in New York City.
I want to know more about that. Why is there a comedy show at a pizza place in New York City? And to find pizza place, I’m from New York City. If you tell me pizza place, I’m picturing a a store front that has the shape of a shoe box, but you know, bigger, and I don’t know why you would have comedy there. You know, there’s probably on the wall of the ovens, there’s probably two tables, and on the other wall there’s four tables.
And they were made of that porcelain wipe down stuff you can get the pizza grease off. This Dusty Sleigh performing on a crate in the back corner. Like, what’s going on there? Anyway? He said, I was doing a show at a pizza place.
We used to use the term pizza parlor. Do people still say pizza parlor? Pizza place in New York City? And I was just not doing well, and I kept saying, we’re having a good time. And the more I said it, the more the people got into the show.
I just can’t get over there. I’m googling Dusty Slay Pizza, New York, and I want to see what comes up. Nothing came up. What if I google comedy pizza, New York? What comes up?
Nothing? All right? One more try Pizza Rhea Comedy show, New York. Well, there was something called comedy Night at Da Vinci Pizza back in September of twenty three? Could it have been?
There? Are we on a major tangent? Get back to the show? John, Okay, I was hearing a show at a pizza place of New York City. I was just doing it well.
And when I kept saying we’re having a good time where I said, the more people got of the show. Neil Brannan said. An old man named Dave Chappelle one said to me, you can tell how funny someone is by how they bomb and Dusty slid. I think that’s right. I never thought of that, but yeah, that’s right.
And I find if you move around awkwardly to such your glasses enough, your hat, your face, your nose. People will be like, this guy’s weird. But I’m into what he’s doing. I’m glad they brought that up because when I was watching Dusty’s special, currently the number one special of twenty twenty four, I noticed he was very twitchy. Dusty said, I watched videos of myself.
I think, oh, man, stop waving so much. But when I’m up there, it feels fun. I’m into it. Tag Nataro, we’ll have a special out on Amazon on Prime Video. March twenty sixth, they released a trailer.
I did my usual thing where I go to pull the audio and it took Tig. In the clip, they picked over a minute to get to the punchline, and I’m like, that’s just going to drag the podcast to a halt. So you can find it somewhere. It’s called Hello Again. You’ll find the clip on the interwebs.
We are told that Tig Nataro’s Hello Again is packed with delightfully awkward misunderstandings, health scares made hilarious, and family moments with her wife and children that are simultaneously side splitting and heartwarming. Nataro finds humor in situations ranging from the every day to the bizarre, A crafting comedy out of hallucinatory text messages, a botch meeting with a Hollywood heavyweight, and a late night encounter with a mustached fireman who has her questioning everything. M Tignazoro, Hello again, March twenty sixth on your Amazon Prime Video. John Mulaney two waited to all fans in Portland and Bangor. I’m sorry that Pete Davidson and I could not find a day to make those shows work.
But I’ll be through main soon. I hope to see then. If you haven’t already, please go to your point of purchase to receive a full refund. Thanks y’all. Bill Maher is on tour.
He’s calling his tour the WTF Tour, which I just find odd because when I see the letters WTF and I’m in a comedy mood, I think of Mark Maren. Why did you call your tour that? You have to know? Mark Maren calls his thing WTF. What a weird choice by Bill Mooh.
Bill recently revealed he has a two hour interview with Kanye West, but it will likely never be released. Bill said he found Kanye’s political views too quote problematic to share on the podcast. Bill didn’t specify what Kanye talked about, but he did refer to the rapper as a charming anti Semite. Hey, Kathy Griffin, what can we expect from your show? She tells the Cans in Okay.
First of all, my shows are highly improvisational. For example, when I got cancer, I was like, first of all, I don’t even smoke, but they’re started to come some comedy out of cancer. First of all, I thought, if you got cancer, everybody treat you really well and you can behave badly. So for example, I’ll use the cancer card like a beast. If I can’t get a reservation, no boo, I’ll call them and say it’s Kathy, my cancer’s back, which isn’t true.
But I’m not above playing the cancer card for a good table at a restaurant like that. And she addressed Dave Chappelle and said, I feel like for a comic, continue to punch up. I love Dave Chappelle. I think it’s genius. Why the f is he talking about trans people for the third fing special in a row.
I think Dave is a genius, But I also think it’s transphobic. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. You’re a black man punching down at a community that has the highest murder suicide rate in the world, so I kind of feel like you shouldn’t. That’s a simple rule for not getting canceled. Enjoy what I do here.
You can go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I will take your money and I will drive past the donuts chain. I’m on a smoothie kick. I’ll go into the smoothie place. They have this beach blast as it called.
I know, it’s like a raspberry thing with some dark chocolate. I tend against that, and that is a full four hundred fewer calories than the peanut butter chocolate one that I like. But Johnny Max, stop marathon training and the pans they’re coming back. You know what I’m saying, Why are you going to a smoothie place at all? It’s better than donuts.
Find me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. A Minnesota comedian is overcoming a disability and making a name for himself on the stand up circuit. That’s from Fox nine. He’s Sam Bondus. He says, when we mishear people, we have our go to phrases.
Because I’m deaf, I have two. The first one is that’s funny. Yeah. My poor mom, her hearing’s gone. She’ll ask me about my friends.
She’ll be like, how’s Mike in Cleveland? And if I say, oh, yeah, Mike and a frog rented a helicopter. They went to Hawaii and when skiing, she’ll go oh. Sam felt comfortable on stage at a young age. He tells a story where he was at a camp for the deaf and heart of hearing.
I made a whole bunch of my deaf peers laugh off one joke and I was like, Wow, that feels great. I want to do more of that. He does some crowd work. For example, he asked somebody in the audience what’s your name, and then respond to us if he can’t hear the answer. One challenge of performing sometimes his hearing aids give out.
He has to reboot them during a show. He helps to turn stand up into a career. He says, a lot of comedians want like a Netflix special All now, that’d be great, but I just want to do step one right now, make money off this. Sounds like a cool guy. And that is your comedy news for today.
