Some people think, perhaps, possibly maybe John Cena appearing naked on the oscars was some sort of hazing ritual.
You may recall Kat Williams in recent interviews kind of hinted that people wearing dresses is a hazing ritual in Hollywood, and some people think John Cena being naked is part of the all right, you want to be in the Hollywood club, We’re gonna humiliate you. I think it was the fiftieth anniversary of the original Streaker, and John Cena’s got a really cut body and he likes doing outrageous humor, and he went, sure, I’ll do it. I didn’t like the bit at all, but I don’t think this is a conspiracy here, and I like conspiracies. Shannon Sharp, host of Club Shay Sheha, was speaking with Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson, the former NFL player, and he revealed he made more money on the Cat Williams interview than he made in any year he played in the NFL. Think about that, Shannon said.
Everybody was talking about how much money I made doing the Cat Williams interview. I just got the check. So if you think I made five hundred thousand three exit, if you think I made a million three exit, if you think I made two million, three exit, I made more money on Cat Williams alone than I made in any year that I played in the NFL. So I was curious, and I’m on sport track dot com. In two thousand, Shannon made five million dollars according to this website.

On Monday night, Justin Timberlake opened up Jimmy Kimmel’s show, saying he was guest host Kim Will then emerged and started listing off his favorite moments from the Academy Awards. Kim Will started talking about the John Cena bit and said, getting this on the air, of all the times I’ve hosted the Oscars, of the Emmys or anything, no comedy bit has ever received more scrutiny than this. There were meetings and site meetings, emails and texts and phone calls and people sweating. Somebody was crying. Then once they realized we weren’t going to take no for an answer, there was an intense discussion about the envelope.
Then Kimmell showed the envelope that the suits wanted Seena to use, which was the size of a shoebox. Ultimately they went with a smaller envelope. Kimill said, I’d say congratulations John, scene of the commotion you caused. Very rarely does an idea literally push the envelope, and this one did. He also discussed the Donald Trump moment towards the end of the show, played that the other day for you.
Kim Will said, it kind of tells you all you need to know about Donald Trump. He wrote this because he was upset. I didn’t mention him on the show. No one mentioned him on the show. He wasn’t getting any attention.
He couldn’t stand it, and so then the adderall mcflurry kicked in and he went right on. I wasn’t planning to mention him at all. We were backstage, the show was almost over, and one of the other I just was like, hey, look at this, and a quote Alpacino. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. I had to read it.
Jerry Seinfeld spoke with Empire magazine about the upcoming movie Pop Tarts. Jerry said, do you remember the scene and the right stuff where Jeff Goldbloom and Harry Shearer are running down the hall and they burst into the dark and boardroom and they go it’s called Sputnick. That’s what this movie is. We steal from everyone we could think of because we love movies. The other big influence mad Men, Jerry said, I’m obsessed with that show.
That mixed with the dumbness of the serial world, you know, stuffy executives discussing tarts and flakes and frosting, just struck me as a fun world to be in. I always wanted to be an adult. When I was a kid, I wanted to look like adults looked in the sixties. But by the time I got to be an adult and they didn’t look like that anymore. So this was a chance to go back and do that look.
Bow and Yang was on with Seth Myers. They discussed the Great Sketch where Bowen made out with Sidney Sweeney. Yang told Seth, I got to tell you guys something, you know, like when you have a head injury and you can’t see colors quite right. I feel like I got hit in the head by these two women, and I’m still straight. The other woman is Gina Gersha, who appears in the sketch.
Bowen said, I think I understand why Austin Butler talked like Elvis for a while after the movie, so I think for a couple more weeks, I’m still straight. Ladies, get in there. Cheech and Chong surprise appearance at Sea Boys, Heart and Soul. This happened during South By Variety tells us Sea Boys Art and Soul is an off the Beaten Path Austin nightclub, and they hosted a brief reunion by Cheech and Chong. An audience member yelled out, holy s.
Chong picked up an acoustic guitar. Cheech cringed as it became clear the instrument was out of tune. Chong, who’s now eighty five, wore a varsity sports jacket bedicked with marijuana leaf motifs and a Team four twenty on the back. He swapped out the bad guitar for an electric that was ready. Cheach joke, Oh he’s going electric.
Chong hit some more notes. Cheech introduced what he described as a song of my people. The lyrics as recapped by Variety. I won’t attempt to sing them. I barely want to even do them with some sort of pattern.
But Mexican Americans. Every time I pause, here is where there’s a new line. So the lyrics are. Mexican Americans don’t like to just get in the gang fights. They like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie.
Two. Mexican Americans love education, and so they go to night school and take Spanish and get a b Mexican Americans don’t like to get up early, but they have to, so they do it real slow. Chong then picked up the song, says Variety, using a derogatory term for Mexicans that underscored the hollowness of racial and ethnic bigotry. Last night, they were going to have the world premiere of Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie, which traces the pair’s career in partnership that began in the nineteen seventies. Mosha Kasher has a new book.
This the follow up to Casher in the Rye Love It. This one called Subculture Vulture, a memoir in six scenes. He spoke to W P R And said he once thought his stand up career was the peak of a narcissist art form. Then he joked, then I found memoir that’s even more delvin to what I’ve been thinking about. Over the course of three hundred pages, the new book is focused on six subcultures that he says forged him.
The six are alcoholics, anonymous, Hasidic, Judaism, deafness and sign language is the child of deaf parents, stand up comedy, raves and burning Man was almost like a drug chase of trying to find outsiders that were like me that would make me feel a little bit less different on the world. So I think that’s some of the connective tissues. Something happened when I joined these worlds. They made me fall in love so hard I wanted to own them. I didn’t want to be a member of the rebellion.
I wanted to be a Jedi Knight. From baller alert dot com, which normally would be a home for comedy news, but I’ve used that jokerlready. Mike Apps has made a shocking revelation about his long awaited Richard Pryor biopic Buckle your Pants for this one. He was on the All the Smoke podcast. According to Abs, it was Richard Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, who put a stop to the biopick back in twenty fourteen.
When all right, I’ll quote him here, I was gonna play Richard Pryor man and then his wife. I didn’t screw his wife, his ex wife. She got mad, I’ve said when he refused her advances. Jennifer allegedly told the actor, you are not gonna play Richard. You didn’t spank this cleaning it up, booty.
I’m not sure that’s a true anecdote. Lawyers will have to ask Mike Apps. The Detroit News got up with Bill Burr, who’s playing a big arenas Burr said, they’re pretty nerve wracking because you’ve got to sell a bunch of tickets. But the shows are always great, and I’m always amazed how they figured out the sound at these bigger venues where you can take the audience on the same sort of ride you can at a comedy club, where you can bring them down and you can get them going up. I’ve been doing these arenas for a couple of years and I’m used to it, but I’m not gonna lie to you.
You definitely have imposter syndrome when you first get in there, like why these people come to see me? So the fact that people are showing up, you know, is amazing and I don’t take the responsibility of that lightly. You can’t be doing shows and just be on cruise control. You got to make sure everybody gets their money’s worth. So that’s my big thing every night, which is funny because people say, make sure you’re taking it in.
This is stand up comedy. You can’t take it in. And if I start sitting back looking at the joke, my timing is off and I immediately start bombing. I can reflect on it afterwards. Does that count.
Kyle Mooney has got a new movie Why two K. This premiered at South By. Y two K follows two high schoolers who crash in New Year’s Eve party on the last night of nineteen ninety nine when they realize the projected computer apocalypse is actually happening. Mooney had the idea for Y two K a few years back. He said on New Year’s Day twenty nineteen, after night of celebrating with Evan and her friends, I texted Evan there should be a movie about two kids going to a party in Hysuk and it goes bad.
Evan Winter said, I woke up very hung over to this text. Mooney said, congratulations. One of the scenes takes place in a porta potty. We are told the stuff that you might think of stuff is not stuff. It’s hot chocolate mixed with glycerd and it smelled amazing.
