Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see that the judge find Trump nine thousand dollars? Stephen Colbert said, Now, nine thousand dollars may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, but what about Trump? Kimmel says, Trump spends nine thousand dollars at the Wendy’s drive through Colbert.
The judge lamented that it was the most he could legally find him, warning if Trump keeps violating the gag order, jail may be a necessary punishment. Colbert said, I don’t know if it’s necessary for Trump, but I need it. Kimmel Malania was like, don’t let the judge tell you what to do, and then Joe Coy chimed in with this one, which doesn’t even make sense. Yeah, fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear John Mulaney is the guest on My Next Guest needs no introduction with David Letterman.
David Letterman asked John Mulaney, who’s funnier than John Mulaney. Malini said this, I knew who the funniest person was. The funniest two or three people were funnier, is it? Certainly? The mean, do you consider anybody in that group to be as good as you or better than you?
Is there somebody you think? Yeah? Really? Oh yeah, yeah, like who is better than you? I mean, well, first off, you know, when I was a writer, I was writing for Bill Hayter and Fred Armison.
Oh well, no more questions? Yeah, you know, so that was like there was no point where I ever looked at selling. I wrote for them and thought I could do this better. What will be the when you think to yourself, I’ve done enough one and a half hour specials. I’m done now touring?
Will that happen? We moved it, we had direct films. What will you do? There’s lots of other things I want to do, But you say it like it’s a crisis right now, things are going on. Letterman asked Malini if he thought of John Belushi during his recovery.
Melini said, not actively, but after that big intervention and everything blew up. I was in my room and rehab and I talked to Lauren Michael’s on the phone for like an hour one day earlier. In the call, we’re talking and he goes, I knew John Belushi for seven years. I’ve been talking about him for forty eight years. He goes there’s the shrapnel that happens when someone goes down like that.
You know, John didn’t want to die. He didn’t plan to just because it’s a story, just because it’s set in stone like history. People don’t want to die from this. John Malini will host John Malani Presents Everybody’s Live in La first episode two nights, nine to thirty pm Eastern. Additional episodes next week Monday, May sixth through the tenth.
The PR team says there will be more guests as well, but we’re tired of listing them. We’ve given you enough information already. That’s hilarious. Some of the guests announced Weezer, Los Lobos, Saint Vincent, flee Beck, Bill Haytern, Apergatsey, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, John Stewart, Gabe Iglesias, May Martin, Patton oswaldt Sarah Silverman, Anna Gatsby, Stavros Halkias, lu Andel, Ronny Chieng, Tom Sagora and alf Vira also on the show. And I’m not making this up.
Oh j Simpson, Prosecutor Marsha Clark. Hey, you know what’s out today Unfrosted. I know I never talk about Jerry Seinfeld on this podcast. I’ve barely mentioned Jerry Seinfeld this week, and I’ve barely mentioned Unfrosted. He has done a lot of press for this thing.
Jerry talked about what movies they stole from. Yeah, Oppenheimer. I think it’s a fun game if anyone wants to play how many movies we stole from? Obviously The Godfather the right stuff. At one point I was gonna say, I’ll bury you under the ground.
He lie from there will be blood, and we weren’t even gonna explain it. The character’s name wasn’t Eli Jerry. Do you like pop tarts or is it just for the joke? I did love pop tarts. I had one yesterday.
We’re doing a social media piece with Jimmy found and Meghan Trainor. He took a bite and I went, this is fantastic. What I like about is the man made quality of it. I love great objects to fit in your hand in a nice way. A pack of cigarettes is one of the greatest things you could put in your hand.
Just feels great. Dice feel great. I like a nice spoon. I like things the Boston. Harold spoke to Bourbon entrepreneur Jim gaffigin also about the Pop Tarts movie, not about Bourbon.
Jim said, I’d been in communication with Jerry during the lockdown and he had been telling me that he was working on this project. I definitely wanted to be involved, but also being friends, I was not a friend begging to be in the movie. I was hoping you would ask, and I was thrilled when he wrote this part for me. ScreenRant talked to both Jerry and Jim. They got right to it.
Jerry looks like he asked all your friends in Hollywood who said no? And Jerry said, I don’t think anybody says no. There are some people weren’t available who I try. It’s hard to get to people because everybody’s so busy. Anyway, that’s good.
It’s really busy these days, so it’s hard to get people. Jim Gaffigan and said, scheduling is not a foregone conclusion. As we learned this week, Jerry did not ask Pop Tarts for permission. Pop Tarts is leaning in on the joke now. Olly Morton is the general manager of Portable Wholesome Snacks at Kelenova.
Kelenova also makes cheese It and Pringles in case you’re curious, Ally says, Jerry’s probably our biggest fan. There’s a piece here as a brand owner about stepping into that with trust. Our goal is to help fans engage with the film and really importantly enjoy a pop tart in hand while they’re watching the film. People were worried about Conan and O’Brien. Remember he was on hot ones.
At one point he was rubbing hot sauce into his skin. Conan said, I had a bunch of friends who saw my name all over Twitter, and the first assumption is he’s dead. I did if people say, oh my god, I thought finally. Conant said he was left with incredibly runny eyes and a mouth that really hurt. He also experienced burning on his skin.
Conan said, you wash your hands right afterward. But some of the sauce got underneath my wedding ring. I took it off and I was like, ooh, there’s acid underneath it. Conan says he doesn’t usually eat spicy food, but if I think I find something funny, I’ll do it and deal with it later. Angela Kinsey felt certain jokes about her Christian faith in the office were wrong, and spoke up about them.
She was on Rain Wilson’s podcast. She cited one episode in the third season in which the character of Angela was given a line she felt was super judgy against Oscar, a gay character on the show. She talked to You producer and show runner Greg Daniels about it. Angela in real life said, yeah, actually, there were one or two times in which there’d be a joke written for her that I thought was just really stereotypical. Maybe one note.
I’d like to think of her as a full, well rounded person. I do remember I went up to Greg and I was like, I can’t. I was just like, I don’t feel good about it. I don’t feel good about that. I don’t feel it’s what Jesus represented to me.
And he was like, okay, and he heard me, and he took the joke out. The episode was gay witch hunt and it already had so many of that type of joke, and he was like, Okay, let’s do Sydney first today. As we’ve been long this week, I’m gonna save the clips for next week, so I’ll read you some shows that don’t have clips, and unlike Milburn, most of the shows don’t have clips, so make mind chum of a little easier. Laura Coleman’s show is called Soft Animal. The description the poet Mary Oliver said, you should let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
The soft animal of my body wants to go through the McDonald’s drive through on a line bike. Somebody named Tom Cashman said, one of my favorite new comics rohann Arneil show is called Top of the Food Chain, an hour of conversational jokes and stories from a man that’s worked every job known to mankind. The jokes have been run up and down the East Coast of Australia. The only crowd not to enjoy them has been middle aged people from Cronula Local Humor. And that’s okay because Rohan doesn’t like them either.
Somebody named Becky Lucas said, I’m so jealous of how funny Rohan is, but I pushed down that feeling and I wish him well. Go see his show. And that’s the only review. We are deep diving on Sydney today, all right over to Netflix. Seven thirty Bill Burr eight o’clock, John Stewart and Friends.
Ten o’clock, Chris Rock’s Table Reads seven o’clock, Ronnie Chan seven thirty, Ali Wong, Well, John, why are you jumping all over the time, because that’s the way the website’s laid out. Seven o’clock, Tom Poppa, Mark Norman at seven and nine forty five, Catherine Cohen at seven, o Gilligan nine forty five. That’s stelling at seven, Dusty Sleigh at seven, that’s where we’re going. John Marco at seven. We’ll say Slowan nine forty five and a bunch of things I did not read to you.
Okay, we’re doing Dusty Sleigh at seven, and then we need a late show. Kind of don’t have any interest in Chris Rock’s table read. I’m sure it’d be funny, but like sitting there, I don’t know it’ll feel like to me Hollywood insiders making each other laugh. And that’s just I don’t want to do that late show. Mark Norman or Moe Gilligan.
Your choice. Norman is pretty strong. I haven’t seen him in a bit. Let’s do Dusty Slay and Mark Norman. That’s a good night of comedy.
The Guardian spoke to Nish Kumar, who said it would be very cool if I were named the next James Bond. Not sure why that was brought up in the article, but it was a relevant question. Who is your comedy hero? Nisch said, I grew up idolizing a lot of stand ups Chris Rock Marie at Bamford Bridget Christie at university. Instead of doing my degree, there was a three month period where I did an intensive Richard Pryor study.
Through illegal downloading, I got all of his comedy albums and I would listen to each in chronological order, and then build up to live in concert. I would say the intense focus I devoted to Prior’s comedy came really at the expense of my degree. Best heckel There’s no such thing as a good heckle. No hecklers have brought anything useful to a gig. Occasionally, somebody will say something involuntarily and apologize for it, and the thing they say will always be one hundred times funnier than anybody who deliberately and consciously heckels.
It’s one of the greatest myths about comedy that heckling helps us all of current audience behavior. He says things have settled back down recently. I think there was that initial wave of coming back after the pandemic, and people were quite not able to regulate how drunk they were. There’s a period where we all needed to readjust it being back out in public, which makes sense given we went through a collective trauma. You know, sometimes you’d think back to like remember that, like we didn’t leave the house for a year.
That happened. Daniel Van Kirk’s new album, Rose Gold, is out today. Rose Gold is a midwesterns man’s wish that we could all stop finding ways to disagree, start high fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments about the assumptions we make about a shaved head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldn’t be treated kindly, and teaches us all how to have a fight while putting some goodness into this world. Oh and I wanted to tell you about this one.
Not really comedy, but it’s got a good laugh at the end. All right, So there’s been this Internet thing where people have been trying to find this song. Have you seen this thing? Back in twenty twenty one, a user named Carl ninety two posted a seventeen second snippet of an eighty style music track at least forty eight thousand people in a I read a dedicated to the hunt for the full song. The song is being referred to as everyone knows that people look for physical and digital archives.
Couldn’t find the song, couldn’t find the artist. Conspiracy theories claimed the song was either AI generated or some sort of viral marketing stunt. Rolling Stone got involved, The Guardian got involved. Nobody could figure out the song. Eventually, the sleuths have figured out the title of the song is Ulterior Motives, and now they have found the song.
Where’s the song from? It’s from nineteen eighty six’s movie Angels of Passion. The description of Angels of Passion Two angels were sent back to Earth to provide some sexual satisfaction to the mortal humans. It’s that kind of movie. That’s where the song is from.
