The Shark Deck. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Last week the presidents had a little press conference about the balloons, and he also had his annual physical. Jimmy Kimmel said, if any other eighty year old came out of a medical exam talking about aliens, he’d put him in a home. Kimmel added, while checking the president’s prostate, they did find more classified documents.
The Hollywood Reporter did a lengthy fluff job about Bert Kreisher. Is this going to be the year of Bert Kreischer? That’s not the Hollowed Reporter asking, that’s Johnny Mack asking, because he does have the Machine movie coming and I think it’s going to do really well. And this was a really fluffy piece in the Hollywood Reporter. I’ve shared it in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.
It’s a good read, but it’s a little fluffy. The Hollowed Reporter writes, less than a minute into Bert Kreisher’s latest special, this one’s coming out in March. He rips his shirt off. The move is met with thunderous applause. So you get the sense that that’s response wherever Kreisher goes, After all, the married dad of two is and performing bear chested for as long as he can remember.
It’s not so much a gimmicky, says, as it’s the way he feels most at ease. Bert says, it’s my comfort zone, all right. The new special Razzle Dazzle March fourteenth, it’s his fifth special. What’s so special about it? By the way, time out, I’m guilty of this as well.
We have to stop calling everything a special. We have to start using the word hour. Just because you filmed yourself and threw it up on YouTube, it’s not a special, okay, everybody now, To be fair to Burt, this one’s probably a special. Board asked him what’s special about it? Bert said, I wanted to give my girls a bit of a voice.
I don’t know if I totally accomplished it, but that’s what I wanted to do. I’d started writing the material in January twenty twenty, and then they grew up so much during the pandemic. At first, I couldn’t figure out why I was running into a roadblock with the Hour. But what had happened was by the time I recorded it, one daughter was in college. The other was driving.
They had matured so much. I felt like I needed ways to show that and to show the fact that they bully me now. They asked Bert, since the family features prominently in the hour, what are the conversations like before it goes out on stage? Effing awkward? One daughter has become hype.
Were aware of making sure she’s represented the way she wants to be represented. I made that kid famous by accident. I didn’t think it through, and she definitely had final edit of the special and the jokes. I said, let me tell him, if you don’t like him, we’ll take them out of the special in the end, if I’m not mistaken. She only took out one, and with that one she went, that’s a secret.
But she always had the ability to say that to me. I mean, some of the funniest things she’s ever said about her growing up. She was cool enough to let me talk about like her period, but there were other parts of her growing up she wasn’t comfortable, and she’d say to me that doesn’t go on stage. I remember one time saying, I’ll give you a thousand dollars. That’s the funniest thing anyone’s ever said in the effing world.
I mean, there was a joke in the special that I pulled out and I offered her ten thousand dollars for I was like, I’ll give you ten grand, it’s so funny, baby, and she goes nan, I don’t like it. On The Joe Rogan Experience, he shredded fired CNN anchor Brian Stelter, labeling Stelter a prostitute. This from the New York Post, Oh My you see Brian stelter ost Uday panel was titled the Clear and Present Danger of Disinformation. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan commented on some of the people on the panel, saying, he’s with evil lizard people that are trying to control the world. That’s his bosses.
They want everybody to eat bugs and he will own nothing and be happy. That’s the effing people he’s working for now. Because he’s basically a prostitute, he’s probably very excited just to be working again in any way, shape or form, you know. And he’s not a guy that’s really supposed to be in front of a camera, right, He’s supposed to be a journalist, but he’s not even good at that. So what he’s doing now is holding water for the evil leaders of the world who want to institute hates meach policies nationwide and you know, centralized digital currency.
Yeah. Joe Statler was asked for a comment, He told The New York Post, Joe Rogan got it all wrong again. The World Economic Form did not hire me to work at Davos. I was there on my own dime to write about the conference. If he wants to tell his listeners the truth, he can call me.
I was thinking about you guys as I drove to the National Donuts chain this morning. I just want a cop to. I do a lot of Joe Rogan stories. And here’s why. And I’ve talked about this before.
If I put Joe Rogan in the title, it boost the downloads, and we boost the downs. You move up the charts, and when you move up the charts, you get more downloads. So every now and then, and it’s it’s like riding waves. So like the show will spike and then there’s a little bit of a trail. Then it’ll a spike and there’s a little bit of a trail, and over time the spikes move up and the show grows.
And that’s what happens. But you do have to throw on the spikes, so say there are days like I don’t know right now, or throw Joe Rogan’s name in the episode title Guilty is Charged, people type in Joe Rogan they discover the podcast high new listeners. Hey, Johnny Mack, you never talk about Mark Marin. I know, right, but this one’s a little different. Marin was talking to Variety about perhaps being in the Avatar movie.
Have you seen Avatar The Way of Water? In the movie, Jermaine Clement, which time out Mandela effect. I’m convinced where I’m from, this guy’s name was Jermaine with an R in there somewhere until this year when I apparently jumped from parallel worlds and his name has become Jermaine. But where I’m from, he was Jermaine Clements when he was on Flight of the Concords. My cousin tells me, I’m crazy and it’s always been humane, But no, no, no, this is not my earth anyway.
Jamaine Clement plays doctor Ian Garvin, a marine biologist working for the villainous Resources Development Administration. That role could have gone to Mark Marin. On his podcast, Mark Marin said The idea was ridiculous. Why they f would I want that job. There’s the assumption that we’re going to do for Avatar movies.
Dude, I don’t even remember the first one. I don’t know what this all means of the world. James Cameron built the city down there at his Long Beach studio. There’s people doing acrobatics down there, people flying. It’s like circud to sleigh down there.
During his visit, Mark Marin had to lock up his phone. He couldn’t take photos of the screenplay. Marin said, all of a sudden, you’re in this zone with people Cameron has there just to read parts and fly and be on dollies. I’m on camera. I think I got a picture of a boat or whatever the f it is.
I’m in the middle of this thing and I’m totally untethered and I have no sense of character. I have no idea what’s happening other than there were several unidentified actors and acrobats all around me. Thank god I didn’t get the part. I don’t like being away from home. My agent was like, you’re probably gonna go to New Zealand for four years or whatever the f it was.
Some ridiculous amount of time. I was like, it’s not happening. Then Cameron sent me a box of cigars because he didn’t cast me. That’s nice. At this age, I have no problem saying now, how much was Jamaine even in it?
Like I would have had to go to New Zealand for a year and people would have been like, were you even in it? But Jamaine lives in New Zealand, he was family. There was a no brainer. That’s pretty funny. Jtaid dot Org was paying attention to Sarah Silverman, who guest hosted The Daily Show last week.
In a bit, Sarah took to the streets of Manhattan in search of Jewish allies, where she called the segments pro Semitism. Sarah was in front of the Union Square Green Market, saying there’s been a rise in anti Semitism. I’m hitting the streets looking for a little pro Semitism. Let’s hope it doesn’t end in a hate crime. She began asking New Yorkers what they like about Jews.
One woman said they make bangin Christmas albums. Another man said, what’s there not to love about Jews? The food, the culture of the celebrations. She then met some tourists from Belgium and asked them if they’ve done any Jewy things during New York. They’re confused, and she says a bagel and they go of course.
Sarah said, Jews, have you ever been vaccinated for polio? They said, yes, Jews. She then asked one of the Belgian dudes, what would you do to protect me? And he said, I would light the manure with you Saturday Night Live. We’ll be back on Saturday.
When did you think it was gonna air? Woody Harrelson will become a five time host. I guess that means we’ll see the other five time hosts in cameos, right, so Steve Martin and Tom Hanks and whoever else it is. Jack White is your musical guest. Then on March fourth, the Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey is your host.
SNLS been slumping all season. Is that a good idea? I don’t think so. The week after March eleventh, the star of Wednesday is Janet Ortega. She will make her hosting debut.
It’s a Monday, so the just for last Vancouver Comedy Festivals Little Light Tonight. We could do JFL originals at seven o’clock and again at nine thirty they are recording some albums there. I guess you want to just see Vancouver tonight. Maybe we won’t hit the comedy festival and we’ll just have a couple beers, movie grips with dinner, have an easy night. Yeah, let’s do that.
Josh Johnson’s new special came out on Peacock last Friday. I’ve not seen it. Peacock, I think is the one streaming service I don’t have. I gotta draw the line somewhere. It’s not even about the money, it’s about the time, folks.
That special is called Josh Johnson up Here Killing Myself. The set is loosely based around real life situations Johnson was sharing with his therapist. The interstitials take place in a therapist office, then cut directly to the stand up Josh Johnson, who is really funny. You should pay attention to him, said, if you feel out of place in the world, you feel like it might only be you having those feelings. Being able to say those things to anyone is a life changing thing for a lot of people.
But even talking to somebody professionally that could be a placeholder. Therapy is playing a role but you should be talking to people. It’s not replacement for community. I think there are six stages of grief. They talk about five stages.
I think when you can truly laugh about something, that’s the most definite stage of being over something. Josh Johnson’s up here killing myself is on Peacock. Kelsey Grammer is bringing back Frasier. He wouldn’t confirm or deny that the bar you know, Cheers will appear in the new series. He said, there’s a mention of a certain bar, but I added, but I had heard had a kind of gone belly up.
Someone recently told me they were there, so I guess it may still be happening. So people were like, wait, on the show his Cheers closed. That’s weird. But people think what Kelsey meant was so there’s Cheers the Bull and Finch Pub over by Boston Common. That’s the bar you see on the exterior shots and the original Cheers.
Then in Faniel Hall they had made a replica that looked like the Cheers in your mind from the TV show. So the Bull and Finch slash Cheers that inside doesn’t look like the TV set at all. The one at Faniel Hall looked like the TV set, but the one at Faniel Hall closed recently, so maybe that’s what Kelsey meant. He tells us later in his life, Frasier Crean is a little more mature. He’s got a little more wisdom about him.
But he’s a little bit silly and takes certain things more seriously than most people do. That’s his character. It’s been really fun to play him again. It’s always sunny in Phillip if you start. Kaitlyn Olsen will star in a remake of the French series Hip On Hip, We follow Morgan Blade by Caitlin Olsen, who’s a single mom with three kids and an exceptional mind who helps solve an unsolvable crime when she re ranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department.
When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order.
