Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. And apparently Nikki Glaser has imposter syndrome. She says, I think, who did I trick? How lucky am I have gotten to this place?
She said this at Netflix’s Night of Too Many Stars. Nicky was on a bill that included Steve Crell, Tiffany Hattis, Jimmy Kimmel, John Mulaney, Ally Wong, dramatic actor Adam Sandler, and Comedy Survivor winner Sarah Silverman. Nicky said to feel like I’m on the same lineup as them. It’s just too much to take in. I don’t think about it too much.
I just think, who did I trick? How lucky am I ever gotten to this place? Tonight? She called the Night of Too Many Stars a moment you always dreamed about if you ever made it to this level of the people you get to hang out with. I’m just gonna be kind of a wallflower and observing more than inserting myself into anything.
Bad news for Jimmy Fallon. One of his shows was canceled. No now that one. The other one he was doing, a show called on Brand, which followed Jimmy Fallon as he started a marketing agency and filled it with the most creative, clever, and competitive go getters he could find. The series did not perform well in the ratings.
The time slot was all over the place and the fall It was Tuesdays at ten, sometimes it was Friday at eight. Sometimes there was an NBA game in both those timeslots. In each episode of On Brand, contestants worked with a major brand in need of a big idea for a massive, high priority campaign. The sales deportmat liked the idea. Jimmy Fallon had told a panel, it’s so beyond product placement.
We’re giving you forty minutes as opposed to a thirty second spot. I’m talking about your brand for a whole hour. Well that didn’t work, but better news for Jimmy Fallon. NBC announced a series order for Wordle, a game show based on the popular New York Times game puzzle. Jimmy Fallon will be the executive producer.
Today’s Show host Savannah Guthrie will host the show. Jimmy said, I feel very honored to be working with Savannah Guthrie on the show. Savanna has that rare combination of intelligence, charm and warmth that makes everybody feel instantly welcome, and she obviously knows how to host a show. In a really hacky statement, when I emphasize words there in camps here, it was a nod to wordle having five letter words. Jimmy said, I am super proud and happy, and I think we developed a solid gamer for prime time.
Yikes. Jimmy Kimmel will host Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. It will return for a fifth season Wednesday, July twenty second, at eight o’clock. I’ll be at volleyball. It’s Celebrity a Millionaire.
I hate the celebrity versions. I get it, but like I hate the celebrity versions. We’ll see if Jimmy winds up taking the summer off, or if he takes my advice and stays hosting. Jimmy Kimmel live himself to capture some of the soon to be displaced Colbert audience. So we’re going to talk about that this week.
Yahoo wants to see jelly Roll at the Netflix as a Joke Comedy festival. Jelly Roll asked the crowd to put the phones down. Why he wanted to tell some dirty jokes without videos. Ending up online the next day, or worse, getting him canceled. The person from Yahoo was there said, when I put my own phone down and looked around, I didn’t see a single one in the air.
I personally haven’t seen any jelly Roll clips, not that I looked, we are told. While making his stand up debut, jelly Roll seemed a little unsure, a little wired, his hands visibly trembling as he gripped his notes. He joked, I think the last time I was this nervous, I was in front of the parole board. He joked about his weight loss journey and how that has changed his approach to intimacy, saying for a long time he really only had one move, which was Ley in prey. This joke’s pretty good.
You know how hard it is to write a country song and rhyme the word ozempic. I’m from a competitive family. My mother was fat, my father was fat, and my brother was fat, and I made it a point to be the fattest. Yeah, who says it wasn’t perfectly polished, and that was part of the appeal. Jelly Roll never pretended to be anything other than exactly what it was In that moment, The first timer figuring out on the fly.
He told the audience, I wanted an opportunity to show people that I don’t take myself as serious as the music would assume. If we take anything from tonight, it’s don’t take anything too serious. The headliner was Andrew Schultz, who were told brought his signature rapid fire energy. Jeff Ross and Tony Hinchcliff were also there, perhaps rehearsing for the roost.
Also on this show, very edgy show, Big Jay Okerson, Adam Ray, and Josh Adam M…
Jelly Roll returned to the stage to sing Friends in Low Places.
Speaking of Andrew Schultz, he had made this announcement.
Akash Singh has left the Flagrant two podcast. I’ll let Andrew tell you about that. We got to address the elephant in the room. No pun intended, as I’m sure you guys where a boy are cash? She really went through it earlier this year, showed amazing resilience.
He’s made the decision to focus all of his energy on stand up. He is going to be stepping away from the pod. Johnny, you never mentioned Kevin Hart. Well, there’s a trailer for the new movie seventy two Hours, which stars Kevin Hart and Marcello Hernandez, who does one thing well.
Also in this Thing, Cam Patterson, who perhaps made his last SML appearance l…
Seventy two Hours centers on Kevin Hart as a forty year old executive. How old is Kevin Harr playing forty Kevin Hardy’s forty six? Okay, see, I would have guess Kevin Horant was in his fifties already, so I’m not sure I buy him as a forty year old executive who wants to give his career boost. He hopes to accomplish that by joining a group of twenty somethings at a wild bachelor party weekend in Miami, and of course, one of the co stars it’s more solo her Nanez. I think we know how this is gonna go.
There’s a trailer. I want to pull it for you. It just doesn’t work for the podcast, Ben Marshall told The Hollywood Reporter was my first time being an actor for hire, But I’m also interested in doing something a bit more grounded. A rom com would be cool. Hannah Berner will have a special.
It’s on Hulu. Sorry, Hannah. Hannah Burner is none of my Business June fifth, She says, I’m so proud of the special. I can’t wait for people to see it. It feels like you’ve been painting something for a long time.
I don’t know why I’m using paint as an example, but the masterpiece is finally dotted and I’m ready to show it to the world. In Hannah Burner None of My Business, Hannah Burner gets more vulnerable than ever, delving into her unorthodox career path, uncertainty around her future, dating secrets, and more. She told VERI what’s crazy about stand up is after my first special, which I love so much, you then start from scratch. It feels like you won the Super Bowl and then you have to learn how to play football again. When the tour was done, I booked a ton of clubs where I just went on stage with a notebook and basically read off my premises, so everyone knew I was working on material, and I literally was like, is this funny?
For my sophomore special. I’m so proud of it. Because you’re better at writing, you’re better performing and it was a slow process of just trying out new jokes, and once I felt like I had the hour, I was like, we’re ready for theaters. I did sixty five shows before I shot this special, so the material is tried and true and practice and refined. This took about two and a half years to get it to where it is, so it’s been a long run.
And as you get nervous before shows, Anna Burner said, my friends make fun of me because it could be the biggest venue of the smallest venue. I’m always the same. You have to be funny, and if you take yourself too seriously, it’s so hard to just turn that on once you’re on stage. My green room is very relaxed. Me and my openers are just laughing, joking.
I’m online shopping, I’m scrolling through TikTok, I’m on the phone with my husband. It’s very chill. And that’s a lot of me being tired and then knowing when I got on stage the audience is can inject my veins with energy and awake again. It’s a lot of plain sleep perform. When it comes to filming, I do get nervous because on stage is this live beautiful experience.
We’re just in the moment. With filming, it’s there forever. There’s so many logistics and so many moving pieces. I had the pleasure of working with Carol Burnett one time. I have this little list I’ve been making as I remember these random things of celebrities that I’ve met, I have to add Carol’s name to it.
Carol’s old people. She taught herself slapstick comedy. Carrol, who is ninety three, said, I taught myself. I just learned that you don’t stiffen up when you’re gonna fall down. I remember when I first got on the Gary Moore Show.
We did a sketch that’s from nineteen fifty nine to nineteen sixty two. Wow, we did a sketch where I had to jump out of a window. I said sure, because I wanted the job. I landed on a mattress and stupidly said thanks. I just thought I was gonna go splat.
She remembered Jerry Lewis asking her, are you sure you know what you’re doing? Because Lewis did the same kind of pratfalls. She said she was able to embrace physical comedy because of the way she grew up, I used to fly kites and roller skate up the sidewalks. We would climb the Hollywood Sign with the neighborhood kids. The boards were rickety and you’d get splinters, but at the top you could lean over and just look in Hollywood.
I feel like I’ve lived a charm life with so many coincidences that have happened. I am thrilled as just as I reflect. I’m lucky that I got to work with Carol Burnett for an hour one time. The Toronto Guardian does this wonderful series where they talk to local comedians. They spoke with Toronto comedian Tyler Morrison, best known for his sharp tongued, darkly funny, and unapologetically blue collar style.
He says his style is a mix of dark and blue collar comedy, so maybe he has invented dark blue collar comedy. Run with that, buddy. His influences include Eddie Murphy, Andrew Dice, Clay Rodney, Daserfield, Tom Green, Adam Sandler, Norm MacDonald and David Letterman. None of that’s blue collar comedy? Where’s the Foxworthy?
Who’s your favorite comedian growing up? Chris Rock, who’s your favorite comedian now? Doug Stanhope. I’m not sure this is blue collar comedy in the fox Worthy sense of things. Maybe we should use like working man comedy or something.
Tyler Morrison says, Doug Stanhope has a large volume of consistently funny Top Tier for two is one of the best to ever do at Stanhope is fantastic. Louis c. K, David tel and Mike Wilmot are pretty hard to top. And I always enjoy stand up from comics in my own generation, like America’s foremost political journalist Andrew Schultz, Shane Gillis, and Adrian Appalucchi. What is your pre show ritual, Tyler Morrison?
He said, workout during the day, have a mid afternoon meal, and try not to drink more than four beers before the show. He needs to take Johnny Max’s advice, which is two beers not eight always. And that is your comedy news for today. We’ve got a big week coming up. It’s the end of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, or the end of the late show period.
I assume we’ll see more Stephen Colbert. You know what I meant? All right, see tomorrow
