Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’ve been saying this all week. There’s so much going on this week, I keep bumping stuff, but this has got to be my lead today. Jerry Seinfeld apologizes for saying Howard Stern lacks comedy chops and has been outflanked by comedians with podcasts.
Let’s go slow here because I want to unpack this one. There’s a lot more to this than the headliners are writing. Jerry was on the David Spade and Dana Corvey podcast. He was discussing the popularity of podcasts with Dana and David Seinfeld, astitute comedians. Howard Stern vetted, this is right, Jerry continues, but we’re better than him.
Now, Howard’s interesting. That was a great interviewer, But comedy chops. I mean, can we speak candidly? Spade said sure, Carvey said no. They both laughed.
Carvey said, well, he’s got Robin, and Robin is a big part of how he’s funny. Yeah, they’re all great, but let’s face it, he’s been out flanked by some very in yourselves. I mean, absolutely, this show comedy podcast, this is the best one on the air, because you guys play nice together. It’s smooth. You’re not jumping on each other, which is annoying to listen to.
All Right, Jerry has cleaned this up. He told TMZ. He meant to say he must feel surrounded, but I said out flanked, which sounded terrible and insulting. Of course, no, these little shows are any threats to his giant show. Anyway, I was bad, and I’m sorry, Howie.
I still love you. Please forgive me. Ohkay. I have met Howard Stern once in my life. Howard paid me the compliment of my career.
To understand. I am fifty four years old, grew up in New York City. I was already listening to WNBC in nineteen eighty two when Howard Stern came along. I was already listen to the station. And this funny guy started doing afternoons, and he started talking a lot more between records.
On my way to high school, listening every morning, I would get up, hit record on a cassette, go take a shower, and then when I came back, I would have that cassette because when the seven train went underground, I couldn’t hear Howard’s radio show, so I’d go back to the part I missed major major Howard fan here, do you hear the butt coming? I was at Sirious when we hired Howard Stern. The day before we had Howard Stern. If I told somebody where I worked, I’d go, I work it Sirious, and then go, I don’t have Cyrus. I have XM.
Every time somebody would call it cyrus. The day we hired Howard, nobody ever said cyrus to me again. Howard made serious. Howard paid me the comblement of my career. Met him once and he found out that I was running the rowd Dog Comedy channel, and he said, the station sounds great.
That meant so much to me. That’s two thousand and six. Somewhere in the last eighteen years, Howard became everything he hated. I wish I had a time machine and I would go back to the days of Howard Stern ripping into John de Bella, the quote unquote zoo keeper from Philadelphia making fun of Deblla for being bald. I’m sure Howard’s hair is naturally as dark as it is making fun of Bella’s marital situation.
You know, Howard, You’re living in the Hamptons with your second wife and your hair’s a little too dark. You became everything you hated. At some point, Howard somehow disappeared a lot of his career, and here in this third act he wants to be remembered as the great interviewer. And Jerry even kissed the ring here. But Howard became everything he hated.
It’s hard for me to watch. I have not enjoyed the third act of Howard’s career.
Also here back in the day, because I was listening, Howard Stern used to kill…
Let me google here so I get my facts right. People magazine reported that Jerry Seinfeld met so Shanna Lonstein, then a seventeen year old and a senior at a private school back in nineteen ninety three. In a nineteen ninety three Playboy interview, Jerry said he didn’t know old she was when they met. I met this girl, so Shanna. She’s a very sweet girl and she’s very pretty.
I didn’t know old she was. I knew she wasn’t forty. Took at a basketball game and that was the whole thing. Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on The Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern asked Jerry back in the day, so you sit in Central Park and have a candy boar on a string and pull it when the girls come.
Jerry defended his action, saying, I didn’t realize she was so young. The only girl everyone else was was that young. I wasn’t dating her. We just watch your restaurant. That was it.
Jerry tells people, I’m not an idiot. Shoshanna is a person, not an age. She’s extremely right, she’s funny, shirt very alert. We just get along. You can hear the click.
So here we are in twenty twenty four. Jerry maybe accidentally takes a shot at Howard personally. I think perhaps possibly that. I imagine Jerry doesn’t want Howard to get rabbid. That’s what I think is going on.
Here. We’re seven minutes and I’m still on the first story. You may recall I was talking about Jerry Seinfeld being on with Dana Carvey and David Spade. They were talking about comedy podcaster or He said, who knows a marget? Who knew people wanted to get to know us?
Who gets the credit to figure that out? Jerry apparently criticized comedians who get personal on their podcast. It’s saying, mega’s laugh. How understand do you think you are? You know that interesting?
Okay, you know you know what? You’re funny? You were that? This is my line. You know me, you know me now?
But you know I draw that line. If you’re not that funny, We’re not that interested in you. All right, there’s a new version of the Office. I’m gonna comment on that as well. Yeah, I had my caffeine this morning in the Office.
Spin Off is the word I’m seeing, and I’m gonna comment on that. The documentary crew that immortalized dunder Miflin Scranton Branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters. Apparently Dominal Gleeson you know him from Star Wars movies. My brain’s not working, Redhead Guy in the sequels, the bad guy General Hawks is a General Hawks. Him and Sabrina and PATCHA Tory will lead the cast.
Production will begin in July. Now is this spin off? I mean? Okay, there’s a documentary crew filming people. So is Modern Family a spin off?
Then is Parks and rec Season one at least a spin off? You know? Are they gonna do something lame like when Oscar Nuniaz moved to the Midwest to volunteer at a newspaper. Are they going to do that? Don’t do that.
This thing will be on Peacock. I think that might be a strategic mistake. If this were on NBC, everyone’s gonna watch it. It’s on Peacock. I know they want to get subscriptions.
I don’t know, is like sort of the Office interesting enough to get anyone to get Peacock? Not sure. David Beckham was on Kimmel and he said he reached out to Tom Brady after the roast. David explains, I know Tom quite well, and I must admit I did fire my message just to check that he was okay. Tom Brady’s okay.
Beckham found the roast very funny. Travis Kelcey has flowed the idea of a roast of Travis Kelsey. He was talking about it on his Big Famous New Heights podcast. Travis suggested who we would want to have roast him, he said, Andrew Santino Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, and Jeff Ross. Well, sure, yeah, all great comedians, and after this week you probably want Tony Hinchcliff and Nikki Glaser too.
Why not ask for any Murphinus Prime while we’re at it. Now, what’s interesting to me Kelsey called Chappelle an all time great, called Santino one of my favorite comedians of all time, and said he would effing deliver. Now what’s interesting to me is he didn’t invite Joe Coy. Now, now hear me out here, Travis Kelcey is dating Taylor Swift. Joe Coy probably a pretty good roaster.
Maybe Travis is afraid that Joe Coy would go after Taylor Swift. Now, you’re like Johnny Mack. Joe Cooy seems like the nicest guy in the world. Why would he go after Taylor Swift? Well, you gotta be careful with Joe Koy.
Now, one time he hosted the Golden Globes. That couldn’t even do it a straight face. Oh, leave it in now. One time he hosted the Golden Globes and this was just unbelievable. He went after Taylor Swift.
Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Natasha Lazio, known for her candid and straight shooting comedic style, made her the ideal choice for period. Undermaker thinks latest ad campaign, That’s a Right, Natasha went on a twelve hour road trip through southern California. It’s a showcase leakproof protection.
She’s asked, what’s the craziest thing you ever did while on your period? Nasasha said, well, I had to take my kids at water park and I leaked into the wave pool. I just blamed it on someone else. I’m all hung up on this John Mulaney show. I so many so I feel bad even talking about it because quite obviously I record the podcast the day before you hear it, and because Mlanie Show’s on late I’m kind of like two three days behind, so as you’re listening.
The most recent episode I’ve seen is Tuesdays, which was not good. I bailed after fifteen minutes. I’ll talk about that in a second. Late Night Are writes The Chris Gathered Show walked so everybody’s in LA could run when social media user said John Mulaney recreated the Chris Gathered show, but with a higher budget from Late Nighter. The two shows do share much of the same DNA like mullaney, show Gathered featured old school viewer call centered around of chosen topics.
Other similarities the lineup of comedian guests and their embrace of absurd sidekicks. Gethard said, I’m greatly enjoying the new show Mlanie’s doing on Netflix. Kayatic and funny and interactive and unpredictable and good. I like live TV and phone calls and seeing celebrities slightly uncomfortable. I just like it.
Another Twitter user said that endorsement is like shaking Sinatra’s hand on the casino floor. So the Tuesday Night episode, I did like the weirdness that it was just for no reason, sunglasses night, and they’re all wearing sunglasses. That’s something eighties Letterman would have done. But I’m watching it and the main guest is Napergatsy and they have this helicopter pilot on and m’laney just has this really long conversation with the helicopter pilot and Nate’s sitting there doing nothing, and I’m like I’m bored, so I bailed fifteen minutes into it. Apparently during that episode, I missed this phone call.
I’ll explain it all the back end, but let’s listen. This will give you a good feel for what this show is. One of the voices you’re gonna hear in the middle here, you’ll recognize it.
And now I pointed out as Patton as so again you have Nate and Patton and you’…
What are you doing anyway? Let’s listen, Bob, you’re on Everybody’s in LA with nine people. What do you have to say about helicopters? Hi? There, I’m uh.
I’m just calling because I get you know, I tend to get annoyed. I live out in Malibu and they make a lot of noise. They spook my horses. They spook your what horses? They spook my horses?
I got horses. You have horses in Malibu? No offense. I thought, he said it spooked his horse like that. That threw me for a second.
That might also be happening. That could also be happening, Bob. How many horses do you have in Malibu? I might have thirteen fourteen horses. Probably not sure, Bob, you’re Sere’s precious angel.
There’s the slow train. This idiot win, I got a I got one named Joey. And what’s your last name? About? Is Bob wearing sunglasses?
Bob? What’s your full name? I was sunglasses? Bob Dylan, I’m a recording god’s for Columbia. Oh you’re letting us know you’re a recording artist for Columbia.
Bob Dylan. Malibu resident so Malany revealed during the closing credits Bob Dylan was actually James Austin Johnson from Saturday Night Live. Johnson posted a video of his end of the call to Instagram. He wrote, calling in too, everybody’s in la is Bob Dylan when I’m supposed to be writing stuff. I still continue to really like this as an idea.
Now, I’m an old man who goes to bed at ten ten thirty Monday through Thursday or Sunday through Thursday. If this thing were at eight o’clock Eastern, I’d probably watch it every night. With it being on ten. I feel like, as I explained earlier, I’m like three days behind by the time I talk to you about it, not that the show’s topical at all, But I don’t want you to be like John. It’s Friday.
Why are we talking about Tuesday night’s show? And I’m still thinking about the other night yet John Stewart and Gabriel Iglesias, and you know it’s too much. You don’t need both. Just book John Stewart in a different night, book Gabriel of Blasis. I know they’re trying to show off for the six days, but if this thing goes long term, it needs better producing.
I’m making a lot of friends today on Today’s podcast. So so far, Netflix producer is gonna be mad at me. Howard’s den is gonna be mad at me. Howard, if you want to do an hour on me, go ahead. And Jerry Seinfeld is probably gonna be mad at me as well.
I’m recording a podcast in my basement. John Mulaney is dating Olivia Munn On John Mulaney Show Tonight, Hannah Gatsby Flea and a music performance by Beck. Netflix Festival Tonight’s Roast Battle seven o’clock, a Decade of Destruction Birthday tournament with special guest judges Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser. That’s interesting. Who’s on this one National Roast Battle League’s best competitive roasters enter the outdoor stage at the Hollywood Palladium to go Mike to Mike to determine who’s the funniest.
Only one will survive the brutal disses and bloodthirsty crowd. All right, that’s pretty good. Eight thirty The drop in, hosted by Jim Jeffrey. Seven thirty Kevin Hart. Eight o’clock, Killed Sony?
Why did you put kill Tony kind at this end? Kilt? He’s at the Kia Form, which means they’re gonna show off with who shows out? All right? Sorry, Rose Battle show kill Tony at the Kia Forum.
You gotta do that show. I mean that is just gonna be amazing. Brett Goldstein at seven. Ali Wong just added again there’s either a huge demand whor we’re now five tries out of two trying to get a special taped Spidy sense is tingling. Sheng Wang nine forty five Low tickets warning.
Hannah Berner at seven Low tickets, Anthony J. Justinik nine forty five. Ryan Hamilton remember him? I love him. Seven o’clock You’re gonna lose out to kill Tony.
Sorry, Rachel Feinstein at nine forty five. This is such a great festival. Oh, I mean it’s too much. Chris Fleming at nine forty five. Now I’m getting low, as I tell you every day, as I start to scroll down, it gets less interesting.
Eight o’clock sold out, Big Jay Okerson, ten thirty sold out. Ari Shafeerz renamed Storytelling Show meaning totally not. This is not happening, This is not this is not how happening, which is owned I believe by Comedy Central. This is a different thing hosted by Ardishafir. I’d like that.
Okay, let’s pop into Sydney quickly. As previously mentioned, I’ll do a lot more Sydney next week when things calm down. This one looks fun just at it. It’s called all right Hey Show Dancing Queen. As a self proclaimed social media veteran, it’s about time all right Hey released his memoir.
The only problem is no reputable publishing agency is offered to print it. Thankfully, he’s publishing in his own way. Live on stage looks fun.

It’s at one point thirty in the afternoon. Website nothing ever happens in Brisbane calls it a celebration of creativity and playfulness for both young and old. Oh my goodness, I just check the timer again. All right, this is when I start with shaddying topics. Let’s say you can wait.
Let me tell you about this one. I’ve been trying to get to this one all week. Tracy Morgan visited a ho little recently greeted cancer patients. Tracy visited the Florina Cancer Center on Staten Island. He told the patients God is great, God as good.
