Caloroga Shark Media. Yeah, I’m gonna talk Jerry Seinfelt some good stuff with Jerry today, but we’ll do that in like five minutes. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News as expected late night, when all in on Christy Noom killing her puppy. That’s not funny, but the jokes are. Stephen Colbert said in her new book, Noam admitted to killing her dog.
Now, I know that sounds terrible, but it’s a much worse. No twist there. That’s it. That’s the whole joke. But I think it’s really good.
More from Colbert. She thought that telling the story would make her look cool. What’s going on? Does she think kats can vote when you’re trying to win over voters? I’m not sure that being the bad guy in a John Wick movie is the best way to go.
Golbert again, Governor n him. If you don’t like untrainable animals that wolf down chicken, I’ve got bad news for you about your party’s nominee. That’s a great one. So then she shot the goat in the pit. And I don’t want to get into semantics here, but if there’s two dead animals, in there.
It’s no longer a gravel pit. It’s a dead animal pit featuring gravel. Colbert on fire here again. By the way, the actual title of her book where she tells the story is No Going Back, which is better than her first draft, Old Yeller two, he had it coming and all dogs go to gravel pit. Ah, I’m a dog lover.
There’s This story is so sad, but the jokes are good. Jimmy Fallon added, but who among us hasn’t seen a dog running through the fields? Not a care in the world. In thought he deserved to die. Kimmel said, just a recap for those who were horrified that she shot a puppy and a goat, she’d like you to know she also shoots horses.
Not one person on her staff raised their hand and said, uh, Governor, you think maybe it’s not a great idea to share that story about shooting a whole pettings you at your house.
Meanwhile, good comedy coming out of President Trump’s trial.
By the way, check out the Ballot podcast five ten minutes a day making fun of all things politics. Ballot Bault, Jimmy Fallon joked, former President Trump has been complaining during his hush money trial, that the courtroom is too cold, and Stormy Daniels was like, your honor, I’ve heard that excuse before. Seth Meyers said, Trump’s broken nine out of the ten commandments, and he came pretty close to getting Mike Penns killed on January sixth. That would have been ten out of ten. The Netflix Comedy Festival starts today.
In my opinion, and now that there’s not just for last Montreal, this is the biggest one of the year. A twelve day festival, more than five hundred shows spread out across nearly three dozen la venues. Performers include Chris Rox, Sarah Silverman, Cat Williams, John Maliney, Ali Wang, Matt Riiche, Fortune Fiemster, and a bunch of younger stars. This time, three of the shows are live. There’s the Cat Williams concert on Saturday night that has me debating should I blow off this event in Cleveland and stay home in cant Williams I probably should, right, I mean a host a Daily Comedy News podcast and Cat Williams is going to make a lot of news.
I mean I should be home watch that thing. Why would I go to Cleveland? That’d be crazy? Sunday Night the Roast of Tom Brady, and there’s the six night sketch slash variety series called John Mulaney Presents Everybody’s In LA, where John Mulaney is expected to interact with dozens of the biggest names performing at the festival. Robbie Prau, who runs the thing for Netflix, said there’s some trade offs doing the specials live.
He says the presentation might not be as polished, or there could be technical snaff who’s which throw off a performers pacing, And given that most viewing takes place down the road on demand, the argument against live is maybe you hurt the long tail of the project when it’s not edited and polished, but we’re trying to replicate the feeling of sitting in the room. Robbie also says, yeah, that’s a great promotional tool with the whole live aspect, unless you’re in Cleveland and you can’t watch Kat Williams live. The first live event is John Mulaney on May third. Robbie says, it’s called Everybody’s in LA because everyone’s here for the festival, so we thought it made a lot of sense to mlleniy kick off the festival. For people in la you can’t miss that the festival’s happening.
We’re in so many venues and there’s so much publicity for it in LA. As For details, they’re being vague. Robbie says the episodes will be somewhere between forty and sixty minutes something like that. It’s really about exploring La in the week where the funniest people are here. Mulaney has a mastered treasure trove for the biggest comedy stars in the world.
There’s sketches, there’s in studio moments. I’m gonna leave it to Malanie to define a show a little bit more. Some of us in the Facebook group we’re wondering how much of this would actually show up on Netflix. Guys, we’re going to be disappointed. Robbie says, I think we’ve pretty much announced at this point everything that we’re taping.
We’re taping Ali Wang, Dean Cole, we’re tapping another program of up and comers that we’ll be putting on YouTube. But I think it’s pretty similar to last time. I mean, fundamentally, this is about celebrating comedy. That’s our north star here, all right. So for those of us who are hoping we were going to get a ton of comedy specials.
It sounds like we’re not. They asked Robbie about just for laughs. That’s where I know Robbie from. He says, I think just for last we’ll be back. It’s such an important festival and so unbelievably important for emerging comedians.
I don’t really correlate what we’re doing here. This is what happened there. I think events like this are very important. There was just a great festival in Austin, and there’s the Edinburgh Festival, Fringe and some other very important festivals around the world. We just hope that they all stay healthy.
I think we’re kind of blown away that this thing has grown so quickly in a short period of time. They asked him about the reset in payments, and he said, we’ve licensed some things. It’s generally pretty similar to when I started. When we started doing these things ten years ago, it was a moment when stand up comedy was really valued at Netflix, but the marketplace outside of here was really quiet. I was going to twenty twenty four.
I think we’re seeing so many signals from the marketplace that there’s a lot more interested in stand up comedy, and I’m not just talking about the other networks. I’m talking about comedians flourishing on TikTok or YouTube or their own podcasts. There’s an ecosystem for stand up that didn’t exist ten years ago, and it’s a much bigger business now than it’s ever been twenty years ago. When I started, there was maybe one act that could do an arena every two years. It was like a Dice or maybe Blue Collar or King’s of Comedy.
If you look at this festival, I think there are fifteen shows at the level in just twelve days. I agree with them there are a lot of people that can fill big buildings. That was not true. Yeah, all right, I’ll do more of that article tomorrow because I’ve got other things I want to get to today. The La Times profile the twenty five shows.
They definitely plan to check out one of them tonight at the Hollywood Bowl Nate Bergatzye, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jerry Seinfeld and Bourban entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan. That is a pretty strong show where Sebastian’s a bit of an outlier there to me stylistically. They’re also excited to see at the Vermont Hollywood Tonight, Ralph Barbosa La Times Right. It’s few comics are hitting Netflix as hard as Ralph Barbosa, with four shows, including two with the Vermont Hollywood to be taped for an upcoming special. They’re excited about Ali Wang, Steph Tolev at the Comedy Store.
On the second, the minute, Steph Tolev takes center stage at the Comedy Store, possibly in a jumpsuit, and no one will be safe, Bill Byrd at the Hollywood Bowl. And the third we know all about Bill Kat Williams on the fourth, you know that’s live on Netflix. I’m looking forward to. Oh, I have to go to Cleveland. I’m just giving my friend in Cleveland a hard time.
I’m going to be there. Relax. You think I’m gonna blow you off and stay home and watch Cat Williams and record a podcast in the basement. Does that sound like something I would do? Roywood Juniors at the Blasco on the fourth, the roast of Tom Brady.
Still no word on who’s actually on this thing, and it’s getting kind of close here. That’s weird to me. I’m like, are they gonna just show off and have superstars or people avoiding this one for some reason, I don’t know. The l eight Times is excited about Princess at the Hollywood Palladium May fifth, what’s that? And they write, if you like funny and you love Prince, you have to check out Princess.
You can sing and dance along with the comedy stylings of Maya Rudolph. Yeah No, No thanks. A Sindbad tribute show with the YouTube Theater on the sixth Dean Cole Deal, Huglee Byron Alan, Mark Curry and others on that one. Gods of Comedy with David Letterman May sixth to the eighth at the Montlebond Theater. Seth Rogan smokes the Bowl at the Hollywood Bowl.
May seventh, Snooped Little Dicky, Ronny Chieng, Janelle James, Rommi yousef. That’s a good show, Seth Rogan has said, and you can smoke wheed inside. They won’t kick you out. I am a clean liver, but that sounds like a lot of fun. May seventh, the United Theater, Hannah Gatsby and close personal acquaintances, some of whom they’ve never met.
Unclear who’s on that one. See Christina pe at the Masonic Lodge on the eighth, Matt Rife at the Hollywood Bowl on the eighth, Tom Sigore at the Kia Forum on the ninth, Jessnik on the tenth, Krasier on the eleventh. Jack Junior, they’re excited about Jack Asidorian aka Jack Junior comes from a comedy family, growing up watching stand up at his parents comedy club, the Haha North Hollywood. Punchlines are in his blood. He jokes about his upbringing a mix of Mexican and Armenian heritage.
Not familiar with Jack Junior, They’re excited about Nate Jackson at the Palace on May eleventh. Though plenty of comics view crowd work is part of the job, Nate Jackson has made it the springboard of a career. If you like being made into a huge human, s’more, go ahead and make sure you’re somewhere in his line of village. No, what’s line of village? That’s one of those I bespoke, obviously, line of vision.
Could I edit that? I could? Did? I know? Why not?
It’s funnier line of village. I guess I should just do the Who’s playing at Netflix tonight? Thing? While we’re this deep into the weeds, low tickets warning for Seinfeld, Gaff Again, Bergatsy and Sebastian, and then two shows at the Vermont in Hollywood, both called introducing a curated lineup of nine exciting fresh voices. They are Ashama Franklin, Dylan Carlino, Mondal Serini, We’re Sekira, Alec Flynn, c Lorelis Mora, kel creepe Renee Vodka, Ryan good Case.
I am unfamiliar with all of those. Ralph Barbosa is your host. If we were in Hollywood tonight, we would have to go to the Seinfeld, Gaff Again, et cetera show at the Bowl at seven, and then we could try and make the introducing show at ninth thirty to see the up and comers that one says taping, so that should be on Netflix eventually getting along here, Conan, You’re getting bumped to tomorrow’s podcast, and I’m kind of jerried out. Should we take a break from Jerry? There is a thing I wanted to share.
Some people noticed that Jerry’s hand was shaking during an interview with Graham Beninger. Some people online are wondering does Jerry have Parkinson’s disease. One fan wrote on social media. Has Jerry been diagnosed with anything? It seems to be shaking a lot.
Another person said Jerry is showing signs of Parkins’s some tremmors. I have watched a few interviews with Jerry this week. I did not notice anything. Let’s hope Jerry’s doing okay at the Sydney Comedy Fest. Of all, Alex reynolds show is called Scrum No clip, but there’s a picture of him in what appears to be a soccer jersey, perhaps Rugby.
Delivered with a commitment to character that is intense, shocking and laugh out loud funny. You cannot miss Scrum the age as Alex Reynolds is stand out in the world, building characterizations, facial expressions and physical comedy, getting the largest laugh in any sketch. The advertiser said, relatable and likable. Alex Hamilton’s show is called sword Bloke. It’s been two years since he was released from prison after selling psychedelic drugs for over a decade.
He thought if he stopped breaking the law, he’d instantly become a better person. He didn’t s Word Bloke is the follow up to his smash hit debut show jokes about the time I went to prison. One of the rising stars of Australian comedy. He’s a member of the viral YouTube channel Yeah Mad TV. You’ll find him at the Factory Theater trying to move a little faster here today.
I don’t want this podcast to be half an hour. Paullie Shore says he was up all night crying after Richard Simmons publicly disapproved of his biopic Pauli Shore Wants to play Richard Simmons. On April fourth, Richard Simmons went on Twitter and said he did not approve of Pauli Shore’s biopick. Simmons stated that he himself was in talks to create his own film. The next day, Pauli Shure responded to the post with a heartbroken message on Instagram.
He said he requested a meeting with Richard Simmons and told them Richard, You’ll love the movie. He insists he’s the best person to play Richard Simmons. He says, everybody already thinks I’m you. We’re the same, beautiful inside and out. Hell yeah.
Pauly Shure did point out that many other biopics haven’t done without the subject of the film A Green to be part of it. Some of the names he included were Elvis, Presley, Stephen Hawking, Steve Jobs, and Moore. The greats, Presley, Hawking, Steve Jobs. Simmons sure admitted that some of those movies were good while others were bad. He says his will be Amaze Balls and that’s your comedy news for today.
