Caloroga Shark Media. If you skip the weekend, please go back and listen to Saturday and Sunday. I pulled a bunch of clips on Saturday with Joe Rogan and Kat Williams. Sunday a bunch of clips from Jim Norton’s Fantastic interview on Neil Brennan’s Blocks podcast. Hello, I’m Johnny mackin.
This is Today’s Daily Comedy News. A couple of good jokes from Late Night. President Biden recently had his physical Jimmy Feln said, when asked about his mental state, the doctor said, the President’s in healthy physical condition. Golbert said, we also got a list of all the medications Joe Biden takes for allergies, blood pressure, and heartburn. They’re all pretty common eloquis crestwords.
I missed a allegra, pepsid and nexim. Thanks Joe. I believe that’s every one of our sponsors. Et Online talked to Taylor Thomlinson and asked her about this nonsense where people compare her to Taylor Swift. I get they’re both in their thirties and they’re both named Taylor, and I guess they look more like each other than either one of them looks like me, so like, I get that, but it’s kind of lazy guys.
Taylor says, I don’t know who’s doing that. There’s a couple of comments on Instagram. I’m not doing that. I would never compare myself to Taylor Swift. I’m garbage compared to her.
I think it’s mostly the name. Yes Et Online says like everyone’s favorite ANTSI hero Tomlinson’s act features a few digs at some of her ex’es. Though they aren’t famous, they aren’t excused for making their way in to one of her bits. She says, anyone who dates a comedian, it has to go in knowing that I dated comedians, and I went in knowing that. So this is if I were you, I would not date a comedian.
I mean, I know why comedians date each other because we both know the deal. But a person who’s not in this business might be very scary. It’d be like, oh, we were just kind of on the record all the time. Stand up is a solo sport. It’s an isolated thing in a lot of ways, and I love it.
I love being on tour. I have a good friend who Wiltmes for me, I love my tour manager. I’ve never really been in a situation where I have to create something new every day with a group of people that I really expect and admire. I’m a stand up first and foremost, and I love to tour. So when I took the first meeting with the TV producers, they were like, we know what you’re gonna say, only going to film Monday through Wednesday, which means you could tour on the weekends.
Once I knew that, I was like, oh, well, then I guess I should really think about it. The more meetings we had, the more people I met who were involved with the project, the more I wanted to do it. Her dream guest Conan O’Brien. I think Conan would be fun. It’s probably a big ask, but I would love if Conan did the show.
Conin’s going to do the show. He’s got a new show coming out himself. You’ll want to promote Conin’s one hundred percent to do that show. David Cross spoke to the Consequence of Sound and talked about the film work he does and the TV work he does and the stand up and he says it’s kind of in the middle I’ve done numerous kinds of indie films that don’t pay much at all, and I’ve done big budget films that pay a lot of money. And I do works on shows where you don’t get it’s out of money, but you get something.
And I have done my own shows which paying me more because I’m writing, directing and producing and sometimes acting and stand ups sort of in the middle there. He has a podcast and said, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have, Well, then why started. It’s called Sinces Working Overtime and features him in conversations with guests like Jason Bateman, Michael Sarah Mark, Maren Janine Garoffalo Amber Tamblin, Eugene Merman, and Steve oh Across that I’ve been asked for years to put something together and didn’t have any interest. Then I was like, all right, fine, but I really enjoyed it. It comes naturally to me.
They’re all these interesting, funny people. We’re friends. He came to the realization that, look, if you want to keep touring and you want to make money, then the podcast will help you with that. I don’t know. That doesn’t make me feel good.
You don’t sound like you want to do a podcast at all? Right, it just sounds like, oh, I have to do this. That’s not fun. David Cross he’s working on his next stand up special and says I’m in the very beginning stages of doing that again for the next tour that’ll probably start in the fall. Next year is the thirtieth anniversary of Mister Show.
We’ll see if they do a reunion. Across’s new special, worsd Statty in the World is on YouTube if you want to check that out. Adam Sailor believes Lorne Michaels isn’t quite ready to retire from Saturday Night Live. Sailor told Entertainment tonight, I don’t see that happening. I don’t know.
Maybe somebody said he might, but I talked to Lauren. I think he’s saying enough. He’s rocking, he loves it. Yeah, but Lorne Michaels is seventy nine years old. In November of this year, he’ll be eighty, so he’ll be eighty years old at the time of next year’s big fiftieth anniversary special.
Isn’t that the time to get out like they always say, get out on top? Why do season fifty one and now ice you’re retiring. Let the whole thing be a big farewell tour next year, culminating in the coronation at the fiftieth anniversary. You know you could stay on in like an emeritus role and say that you’re helping Tina Fey or Seth Myers, whoever takes over for Lorne. But like, I’m not saying he’s bad, I’m just saying you’re eighty.
Like this is exactly the time to get out, like Tom Brady and Tampa. He should have left after winning that Super Bowl, played one year too many.

He said he didn’t envision being a comedian. He said, I never had this larger ambition because I didn’t think it was feasible. It didn’t feel real.
When he was a teenager, he saw the Arab American Comedy Festival and Access of Evil Comedy Tour. I always have loved the name of that tour begin picking up steam. So by the time he had college, the idea of performing a taken route. He dropped out of school, landed a role on Sea Dad Run, which apparently was a Nicked Knight sitcom starring Scott Bayo Rolling Stone Ads four years before Scott Bayo became one of the highest profile Trump supporters in the entertainment industry. Interesting note there, Rolling Stone, the arabnews dot com You’re home for comedy news, spoke to Russell Peters.
He gave the advice identify your dream and actively chase it. It’s far more rewarding and have pursued your dream even if you fail than a passively wonder about it. He said in the early days, he would drive hours to perform, earning fifty dollars plus chicken wings a tank of gas in a soda. He said, if I stayed, I’d be an exact same financial position I would have been had I gone, so I wasn’t losing anything. And if I’d stay there, I’d be talking to people for free.
I’d just remember all the hard gigs, those were the fun ones. He has enjoyed his visits to the Kingdom. He admires the generosity of the Saudi people. He says, I remember at the hotel they said, how did you sleep? And I said, honestly, it was the best most comfortable bed I’ve ever felt in my life.
When I came back to my hotel room, they had packed up all the stuff that I complimented and shipped it to me in America. As for the venue, he said, the acoustics there are great because it’s built for that, and they put the sound dampeners in there. The same can’t be said for I just performed in Egypt. Will Forte is sad he got to see Coyote Versus Acme. He says, it’s incredible.
This movie has been parked by Warner Brothers on Twitter, because that’s what we call it. Elon wrote to the cast and crew of Coyote Versus Act Me, I know that a lot of you have not gotten a chance to see our movie, and sadly it’s looking like you never will. When I first heard that our movie was getting deleted, I hadn’t seen it yet. Yeah, some kind of right off thing, So I was thinking, when everybody else must have been thinking, that this thing must be a hunk of junk. But then I saw it and it’s incredible, super funny throughout, visually stunning, sweet, sincere, and emotionally resonant in a very earned way.
And as the credits rolled, I just sat there thinking how lucky it was to be part of something so special. I quickly turned a confusion and frustration this is the movie they’re not going to release. Look, when it comes to Hollywood business stuff, I don’t know stuff about stuff. Even when a movie tests well like ours, there’s no guarantee it’s going to be a hit. And at the end of the day, that people paid for the movie can obviously do whatever they want with it.
Doesn’t mean I have to like it or agree with it. It doesn’t mean that this movie is anything less than magnificent. You would be so proud of it. A movie that should be seen, but won’t, The Hollywood Reporter had reported as a reporter would do that. Warner Brothers shelved Coyote versus act Me for a text right off.
Fans complained, the studio offered to shop it around. Amazon offered in the forty to forty five million dollar range for the film, but Warners rejected it. The film also starred John Cena, Who’s got pretty good comedy Chops. Netflix has revealed that Brian Simpson Live from the Mothership will debut globally on the platform on March nineteenth. Directed by Baron Vaughan, this is the first special to ever been shot at Joe Rogan’s comedy Mothership.
