Adlin’s notable credits include serving as the writer, director, executive producer, and star of the award winning FX comedy series Better Things.
Hold On. I just got a text this is real from my daughter. She’s at the National Donuts chain and she texted, me, how do I see past orders? The lady is arguing with me that I didn’t order a donut. I have to pull up my app.
I don’t even have my phone with me now, she wrote, nevermind leave it in. I’m writing back, okay, recording. I’ll go down on the National Donuts chain and tell them we spend twenty five thirty dollars a day there between me, my daughter and when I get my mom’s stuff, So don’t accuse us of trying to steal a donut. Where were we? Pamela Adlin will be honored with the Comedy Director Award for her work on Babes.
Her notable credits include serving as the writer, director, executive producer, and star of the award winning FX comedy series Better Things. Remember Better Things? Of course you do, just case out. I’ll google it so we can all remember together what Better Things is was Better Things the story of Sam Fox, a single mother and working actor with no filter, trying to raise her three daughters. This ran from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two without me noticing it while hosting a daily podcast.
Willie Sing will receive the inaugural Comedy Crossover Award. I’m gonna not even read the paragraph. I’m gonna guess She’s going to receive the Comedy Crossover Award for Something premiering at south By Let’s see for her evolution as a storyteller from YouTube creator, a TV host, and now to actor culminating in her comedy film Doing It, premiering at south By Southwest. To come on with this, I’m not reading any more of that. That is just nonsense.
Last weekend, Joe Coy set a new record after his two shows at the La Forum. Joe Coy is now the only comedian to hold the title for most headlining shows by a comedian with six shows at the Kia, all of which were completely sold out, which is shocking because he recently made horrible, horrible fun of Taylor Swift. Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift Boy. That is harsh.
I don’t know how anyone would go see this person after he was so mean to Taylor. Joe Koi went on Instagram to share the massive accomplishment with his newly awarded plaque. He captured it first comedian to sell out the Forum six times. I’m living the dream. I Love you, La.
Adam Sandler is filming his special at the Nocturn Theater in Glendale. He’s doing several shows from the twenty seven through the first so we’re gonna edit those together and hope we can get a funny performance out of it. Good luck. Yeah, Caddie John is back. I did the nice episode.
I drank your coffees. I’m back to my real opinions. Adam Sandlor not funny. Let me look this up. He’s not really doing four shows to get a special.
They usually do two, which I understand because you need pickups and whatnot or something that’s go great. But four is a lot. Let me say wow. Two shows on Tuesday, two on Wednesday, two on Thursday, and one on Friday. I mean, part of that might just be you can sell a ton of tickets and he’s already there.
But also between the five shows out can get a good performance. This next item is just shocking, and I’m sorry to upset everybody, But according to a Variety, I know this is going to shock a lot of you, so you might just want to take a seat for second. As you know, Adam Sandler has a movie coming out called Spaceman. Apparently it’s not good. Sorry, I know, I just ruined your weekend, I know, right, Like Adam Sandler and a cgi alien?
How can that not be great? Variety writes Adam Sandler, we can all agree, is a serious actor. Time’s a great one is comic DNA will often threat its way to performance, has but not always an uncut gems. He had a frantic agro desperation worthy of a scor Sesi crime film. That’s right in Hustle, the crowd pleasing Netflix sports drama, and, as I recently said, the second best Adam Sadlor film.
He played a pro basketball scout with a minshe mouthonis that carry the audience right along. So when you sit down and watch Space Man, in which Sandler plays a morosely bearded and I’m tired looking Czechoslovakian astronaut who’s six months into a solo mission to the far side of the Solar System, you give Adam Sandler the benefit of the doubt. Of course you do. If any actor has the resources to hold down the center of a movie like this one, rides variety, it’s probably Adam Sandler. Of course, who else would you possibly cast in such a dramatic role, But variety says, Spaceman It’s my duty to report is a glum and meandering science fiction fairy tale of a movie.
It premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, and you could see why it was programmed there. It’s got an austereur dystopian vibe that allows it to pass for an art film. Sailor certainly does what he can with the role, but the director doesn’t know how to carry the audience along. See it’s the director’s fault. Spaceman gets lost in space and mostly just sits there limply because everything that happens is too soft.
Right to the spoiler whoh spoiler article. I won’t ruin it for you. I know you want to watch this. You know you go to a theater this weekend, or just wait, it’ll be on Netflix next Friday. Sorry to ruin your weekend like that.
Let me cheer you up and tell you. Nicki Minaj wants to add Kat Williams to her Pink Friday to World tour. She tells us she’s looking to bring the funniest managed show business on the road with her this spring. Nicky says, I know that he’s the busiest managed show business. I know that he’s rich.
I know that he’s the funniest man of show business. Can y’all hit up Kat Williams and ask him what would be his price to be part of the Pink Friday to Gag City tour. Williams has yet to respond to Minaj’s inquiry, which reminds me neither Joe Rogan or Conan have gotten back to me about my challenge to fight either of them, or perhaps even both of them at the same time. At UFC three hundred, they are wuss’s Kevin Hart has not murdered anyone. That was trending.
Apparently someone else, also named Kevin Hart has been arrested in charge with murder, and this is not funny. But the person who is murdered is named Jackie Robinson, so I’m sure there’s going to be all sorts of weird google going on. But the famous comedian Kevin Hart has not murdered anyone. A bunch of things out today. Bernie Max posthumous album Tapes from m King is out on Kevin Hart’s record Lay Adam Burke has a new comedy album called Weaponized Empathy, Chris Martin has a new album called Above Ground Comedian, and Jenny Slate’s Seasoned Professionals on Amazon Prime today.
The mainstream media has just done a lot of fawning over Jenny Slayton several articles, and I’ve wanted to share them with you, But as much as I quote from articles, there’s very little interesting in these articles. I don’t know what is going on. I just read them and I’m like, hey, that happen. Here’s one from the Hollywood Reporter who asks Jenny slat seems like there’s an expectation for stand ups to deliver specials at a fairly regular pace these days. Do you feel pressured?
Jenny tells the Hollywood Reporter, Thank god, I don’t. The pressure that I feel arrived from me around fourth grade, and continues on, I’m forty one, and that’s just will they like me. It’s not really up to me, is it. I try my best and hope the audience understands that I want to be with them. This shows what I have to offer.
It’s my weird dowry. One of the best things about filming a special is this feeling that comes after It’s like, who I want to take that exam for a while. It would be a sad day for me to say I’ll never do stand up again. Doesn’t feel realistic. But I’m increasingly interested in other ways that I could be funny, on stage that don’t involve the tight rope of stand up.
It’s really weird to be afraid of the audience because it’s not about the audience. It’s about my wobbly grass on my own sense of power, whether I can drive this vehicle that is me onto that stage. Chris Martin’s album Not That One, points out the press release, Above Garround Comedian is out today on Blonde Medicine. In Above Ground Comedian Chris Martin, Not That One tells tales of how his parents informed Chris’s foray into parenthood, his shortcomings of veganism, surviving marriage, cultural assimilation as a Brits living in LA and of course, his dog’s butt love It.
