Caloroga Shark Media a lots of cover. Jimmy kimmelaid, it’s John Mlaney crushed it. We’ll talk about the oscars in a second, but there are other news stories as well. Miami Dolphin star Tyreek Hill ended up in a heated exchange with a woman at a Kevin Hart comedy show. Hill had been accused of sitting in the woman’s seat.

TMZ reported that Hill was at Kevin Hart’s show at the Roxy in Atlanta. The woman grabbed him after Hill sat down. The report says it seems the woman was the more aggressive party. TMZ also reported that she pushed a member of Tyreek Hill’s team before security intervened. Com County PD told TMZ after reviewing the video, they determined the woman was the primary aggressor.

He decided to leave rather than let things go too far. Always a good decision.

Speaking of Kevin Hart, on Wednesday Nights, the masked singer Kevin Hart stu…

The p could not contain themselves as Kevin Hart, whose voice was unmistakable underneath the boxy costume, bumbled his way through the song through a voice changer. Kevin Hart said, I’ve done a lot, but what am I doing right now? This might be my most novel experience yet. When the reveal came a Robin Thick had guessed it was Kevin Hart. Thick hugged Kevin Nick.

Cannon complained that Kevin Hart was breaking the rules. Kennon said, this is stupid. That was the worst performance ever in the history of the show. How about that, Kevin Hart said, on purpose? Nick, I performed bad on purpose.

Cannon shot back, you embarrass yourself. That was stupid. No, I don’t look stupid. I look put together, Nick. There’s nothing stupid about me.

You know who looks stupid? You in that stupid jacket. Good buzz On Saturday Night Live, did you see Scarlett Johansson portray Senator Katie Britt doing the rebuttal to the State of the Union. Very very good. Jimmy Carr in trouble.

The New York Post went with the headline comedian Jimmy Carr’s vile joke at deaf audience member causes outrage. This isn’t comedy, all right, So Jimmy Carr is there performing in Kent. Carly is at the show. Carly says Jimmy Carr picked her out of the front row because she was wearing a beret. Asking why she was wearing it, Carly says, I used my right hand to lift my beret, exposing my hearing aid.

I hope he was at least a decent guy and would move on knowing I was deaf. It didn’t work. It had the opposite effect, as I was like a sitting deaf duck. Now I don’t think she understands what happens at a Jimmy Carr show. She said she was using a transcribing app on her phone read what Carr was saying during the set.

Carr then addressed her again and asked if she was going to call for backup from the French Resistance. That’s a good joke. Then he was talking about how you can say anything about deaf people because they can’t hear you. I was shocked. This isn’t comedy.

How did you wind up in the front row of a Jimmy Carr show. This is exactly what he does. I like Jimmy car a lot. Don’t read anything in the day. I’m on team Jimmy Carr.

Here that punchline about it because they can’t hear you. That’s Jimmy’s act. Carly said, comedy is an amazing tool for progressive change. Yet Jimmy decided to use this platform to put down those who have a tough life. There’s a joke and then there’s absolutely insulting.

It’s vile to the deaf community. It’s just not acceptable. He doesn’t need to do that. He’s rich enough. Okay.

Meanwhile, another story before we get to the Oscars, comedian at Nima Yumini has apparently backtracked about that whole Matt Rife thing. Remember the lawyers got involved, told you about that yesterday. In a new video clip you Meani said, while back, I did a parody video on my page and then threw Twitter under the bus, saying Twitter posted his parody video without context and passed off his jokes truth. Emani said, I don’t know Matt Rife, I’ve never met him, but my silly joke should not discredit him. I really do wish him success, and my content is entirely satire.

Sounds like the lawyers told you what to say. My content is exclusively for entertainment, no hitting agendas, so please everyone, stop hating based on rumors, lies, gossip, jokes. Matt Rife didn’t have me do this, But I want to give an explanation that was wrong. The Matt Rife conspiracy is just not true. I think we all knew that Cant Williams ran the forty yard dash.

Yeah, a lot of news, right, I want to get to the oscars. But all these stories came, and Cant Williams ran the forty yard dash at the Sports Academy in Texas. He ran it in four point nine seven seconds at fifty two years old. By comparison, Dak Prescott, who’s the quarterback of the Cowboys at age twenty two, ran the forty and four point seven nine. Again, four point ninety seven and four point seventy nine, not all that different.

All right, on to the OSCARS. I was driving back from Boston and we were playing YouTube TV through my car speakers, so I wasn’t at all watching Jimmy Kimmel, but I was listening, and my daughter was with me. She was watching, and our takeaway was sounded to us like Jimmy was struggling that the crowd wasn’t with him. Suddenly, Joe Coy’s not so bad at this, know what I’m saying. Yeah, Jimmy never found a rhythm.

The Daily Mail recapped. They said Kimmell, returning for the fourth time, left the eight listers grinning and cringing in equal measure as he took to the stage. They talked about the awkward thing when Kimmel said, Robert Downey Junior one of the highest points of his career, but Robert has been Then Downy pointed to his face, leading Kimmel to add, was that two on the note was a drug motion that you made? But look at him? Me so handsome sotalities when every war there is to win?

Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket? Or you just have a very rectangular body part? That joke fell flat. Later in the show, Kimmel appeared to catch the ire of Emma Stone as he made fun of Poor Things, joking about the explicit sex scenes in that film, saying that they showed the only parts of Poor Things that they were allowed to show on TV. Yeah, so, like I said, suddenly, Joe Coy’s not so bad at this.

She get a bad room. I think Kimmel’s a great host. I started the night thinking, Jimmy Kimmel should host the Oscars for the rest of time. But he didn’t nail it last night, and you know who did, John Mulaney. John Mulaney got up, I’m sourcing this next piece of audio from two different things because I don’t want to miss the first joke.

So the yadaile was a little shaky for five to ten seconds, and then I’ll go to the better audio. But here’s mullany crushing would that sound? We wouldn’t have been able to hear such classic lines as You’re gonna need a bigger boat. I’ll have what she’s having. And he was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died.

Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams when we hear if you build it, he will come.


And then Costner does it.

He builds a baseball field. Well, I guess he doesn’t build it. He mows down corn, and then there is a field, and then he’s like, I’m gonna watch Ghost play baseball. And the bank is like, you want to pay your mortgage and he’s like, nah, I’m gonna watch Ghost play baseball. And Danny finds James Earl Jones, who wrote The Boat Rocker, which I thought was a real book deep into my twenties, and he’s like, people will come ray.

He’s the only one with a financial plan. But what’s weird is Timothy Bussfield pushes little Gabby Hoffman off the bleachers and she falls down and she’s unconscious. Den Bert Lancaster’s Moonlight Graham and he comes up and he pats around the back a couple times, and he’s like hot dogs stuck in the throat, and then he can’t go back in the game because I guess there’s a rule in ghost baseball that if you leave the field at any point to become an elderly ghost and do the Heimlich maneuver, you can’t return to the field. I love the Dreams That should win Best Picture. Should John Mulaney, who’s the Oscars next year.

I’ll bet a dollar that he does. He hosted some sort of secondary of tertiary awards. I don’t know if the SAG Awards or what he did, but he did something recently. I wouldn’t be shocked after two years of Kimmel and Kimmel being a little off his game last night if they tried out Mullaney next year. I think Millenie would be a good choice.

And I do really like Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy saved his best for last the show. Early on, as my daughter and I drove home, they had given away one award in the first half hour. We were like, this thing’s gonna sail long. And by the end they were a couple of minutes short and Jimmy had to kill time, and boy, this was his best two minutes. Let’s listen.

I was just you know, this doing this show is not about me, and I appreciate you having me is really about you and Emma and all these great actors and actresses and filmmakers. But I was totally have like an extra minute, and I’m really proud of something. I was wondering if I could share it with you. I just got a review. And has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?

His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not. Never can be get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George slop Monopolis. He would make everybody on stage, look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Blah blah blah, make America great again. Okay, now see if you can guess which former president just close said that on Shusan anyone?

No, Well, thank you, President Trump, Thank you for watching. I’m surprised you’re still isn’t it past your jail time?


Speaking of movies, you know, I was having just a great day prepping the show…

Guess who it is? Can you? Can? You guess already? You can hear it in my voice.

Now you might be thinking, I don’t know. It might be somebody like Robert Downey Junior. He’s Iron Man, He’s an Oppenheimer. You know somebody like that. Nope, Nope, nope.

The highest paid actor according to Forbes, Adam Sandler, Forbes tells us. Since signing his first two hundred and fifty million dollar four picture deal with Netflix in twenty fourteen, Sandler has started eight movies for Netflix. I have to produced several more through his Happy Madison production company. In the first six months of twenty twenty three alone, Netflix subscribers spent more than five hundred million hours watching Sandler movies five hundred million hours. According late, Netflix has rewarded the prolific funny man with not only one of the most luca of contracts in the entertainment industry, but one with enormous creative freedom.

Sandler’s three movies in twenty twenty three included Murder Mystery two, Okay You’re So Not Invited to My Bot, mitzvahs s Daring his Wife and Daughters, and the animated movie Leo, I Forgot That Happened. Combined with his forty four stand up comedy shows, Sandler earned an estimated seventy three million dollars last year. The rest of the Listen Kasher, Curious, Margo Robbie second at fifty nine million, Tom Cruz I’ve Heard of Him forty five millions for Ryan Gosling, tied with Matt Damon. They made forty three million. Jennifer Andison Now she’s in the Morning show on Apple TV and Adam Sandler movies.

Maybe I should just start sucking up to Adam Sandler instead of sitting here in the basement trash of the Guy seven. Leo DiCaprio forty one million. Jason Statham also forty one, Ben Affleck thirty eight and Denzel Washington twenty four million dollars. South By Southwest Today four o’clock Doug Benson tapes his podcast seven o’clock. The Super Good Show is stand up comedy.

Napoleon Emili has been on a lot of shows. South By Nathan McIntosh, Luisa Omi Lan, Brian Simpson at seven thirty Sunset stand Up Let’s See Jordaane Fisher, Stuart Goldsmith, Ear and Jackson Beth Stelling. Eight o’clock Only Murderers in the Building, Great Title Chris Fleming, Lynnkpletz, Pete Lee Dulce, Sloan Jubuki Young White the Show I Would Drag You To. At nine o’clock AI, Johnny Cash and his AI friends hooton Nanny while a great picture of Matt Besser, a dressed up best Johnny Cash looks pretty good. The programming description, which I’ll remind you is generated by participants and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of south By Southwest reads.

Johnny Cash and his celebrity friends are brought back to life in this unique musical performance of artificial intelligences. Johnny Cash once had a hit covering Trent Resner, So who will he cover now that he’s back from the dead. AI, Johnny Cash and many other AI celebrities living or dead will perform as you never thought possible. James Adomie and Matt Besser are your credited performers. I would absolutely be all over that.

A lot of times comedy festivals don’t have anything on a Monday ten o’clock Comedy Crossroads. The showcases all about raw humor and diverse voices. Orlando Laba, Christina Catherine Martinez, Iita Rodriguez, Jesus Trejo, Dustin Ebarra. That’s a good lineup and Stamptown once again at eleven o’clock. What’s throwing me here is it says the Creek in the Cave, which I know moved from Queens to Austin.

That’s just weird to me that a comy club moves, you know, baseball franchise. Tim Allen is getting another sitcom on ABC, at least a pilot. This one is called Shifting Gears. Tim Allen plays Matt, the stubborn widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When mattis strange daughter and her teenage kids, move into the house, the real restoration begins.

Boy, what an original premise. Somebody’s going to be the old dad and the daughter moves back in with the kids. Never seen a sitcom like that. I can’t wait. And a little crossover with Pallace Intrigue, which is the podcast about the British royal family.

Where is Kate Middleton? Huh huh huh. Well, Comedian Fern Brady is up against Prince Harry for a major book award. Fern Brady’s book is Strong female Character. Harry’s is called Spare.

You may have heard of that one. Spare was the best selling book of twenty twenty three. The winners of the British Book Awards known as the Nibbies. I like that because of the Golden Nibshad Trophy. We’ll be announced on May thirteenth.

And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. And I’ll meet you here tomorrow. I’ll see you
