Caloroga Shark Media. I’m actually sweating. Hi. I’m Johnny Mackpool’s side with your Daily Comedy News. A little warmer out here today.
I gotta finish recording this one’s I could jump in the pool catching up on Late Night they were talking about you know that guy was sentenced last week. Probably heard about that, Jimmy found said. The big question now is whether Trump will get jail time or house arrest. If he’s sentenced to jail, Millenia will be inside the courtroom chanting four more years. Found again.
Trump will be sentenced on July eleventh, As lawyers told him, you should get your affairs at order, and Trump was like, that’s what got me in trouble in the first place. You almost need a rimshot there, don’t you. Seth Meyer said, that’s right. Former President Trump was found guilty last week on thirty four counts of falsifying business records and faces up to four years in jail on a five thousand dollars fine. And I think I speak for all of us when I say you can wave the fine.
Send your letters to seth Meyer’s underst Here report on comedy. Sticking with Late Night, The Wonderful website. Late Night of reports that news that John Stewart was returning to the Daily Show was a close secret, but Trevor no one knew about it. Trevor posted on his YouTube channel that he was one of the few and trusted with John Stewart’s secret. Trevor posted a clip from a stand up show he did back in January.
During the Q and A segment of Trevor’s show, he was asked how early he knew about John. He said, that’s the greatest thing ever. You kidding me? You know that moment where you don’t know that a Marvel hero is gonna jump into another movie. That’s what it sort of feels like.
Trevor said. When he heard the news, I literally message him. I was like, you son of a bee. He figured it out. But since Trevor knew before everybody else, he said, there’s nothing worse than having a secret.
That’s cool, but you can’t say anything. I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I just came for tour. I just wanted some of the walk up bars and the next thing, I’m managing the Oopa Loopus. Marlon Wayan’s new special, Little Good Grief is out on Amazon.
He has a big chunk about Magic Johnson. He tells the La Times, I’m just using magic as an example of life sometimes dealing with bad cards. But it’s not about the cards you get, it’s how you play the magic. Johnson got delta bad hand with this disease HIV, yet he still finds a way to live his best life. This whole special is really about finding that glory within your pain.
Marlond doing a lot of press, also spoke to people. He’s not down with the whole Cat Williams controversy stuff. He says, I think comedy is a gentleman’s game. It’s comedy. I don’t like all the disharmony.
I think for comedy and black comedy, it’s important for people to see love, respect and laughter. Not everybody has that experience, but that’s the experience I come from. I’m not going to sit there and talk bad. Even if I have a problem with somebody, I’ll probably call them up and have a sit down. If there is a beef with Dave or Cat or somebody, I’ll be the first to get on the phone with Dave and call Cat’s people.
Me and Rick Grant like, yo, let’s set a beating to see our heroes fight. I don’t think that’s why we’re here. We’re here to be examples, not just in the industry, but with our behavior. We’re here to be examples for those coming up behind us. The LA Times had several comedy articles all in a bunch this week.
One of them a profile of Taylor Tomlinson, who said, when I was twenty, I thought it was going to be married. By age thirty, I would maybe getting ready to have kids. I thought if I could tour theaters in my thirties, that’d be incredible. The fact I was able to do that in my mid twenties. Now I don’t even know if I want to get married to have kids.
It’s so strange to feel so differently about everything, but it is comforting to look at where you are and how it’s not why you envision and go oh, but I like this too. As for hosting After Midnight, I was looking for reasons not to do it, but then she found out they would only need her Monday through Wednesday, which allowed her to tour on the weekends. As for her role as host, and this is very smart, she says, My goal is for me not to be the funniest person up there. If I’m funny, that’s a bonus. But my job is to make my guests as funny as possible time out.
You’ll hear me and Mark Malkoff talk about that in Saturday’s episode, as well as set them up as I can and make it a great experience for them. I was really surprised that I want to do this job, but I was feeling some loneliness not on the road. On the road, I had my tour manager, my best friend opening for me. I had what I felt was a team. But then I’d come home in La and feel like I was floating to the point where I was like, should I not live in La.
The Light Times once again spoke to JB Smooth. He talked about auditioning for Curb. JB says, I didn’t even know that the process was to improv in front of Larry David with Larry, but I do have this thing where I love to go in the room as the character. I like to drive the car, meaning that I like to control the room. Coming from the stand up world, it’s kind of what we do.
We step on stage, we control the room. We have the microphone. We’re the loudest person. So I took that and I said, I’m going in as this character. You see how I walk in the room.
You see my mannerisms right away. If I can make you laugh without saying a word, I got you. La Times asked how much of you makes it into the characters you play JB. He said, when I put my wardrobe on, I immediately become this dude, and literally I feel like he’s not me. We have the same cadence maybe here and there, but we’re two different people.
The funny thing is, sometimes on my way home from the set, my wife would call me to see how my day was, and she’d say, what did Leon say today? And I’m literally telling her what he did today. But the writers in the room, they know your cadence, they know your delivery, they know things you don’t know about yourself. They see your little quirks, and they end up being part of your character. That reminds me.
I was so happy with my half assed triumphathy insult comic dog impression yesterday. I sent it to Deacon mic in Cleveland, and then he was sending me back voicemails of him doing Triumph. Start doing Triumph impressions. It’s very addicting. We were trading them for like half an hour.
And believe me, I looked for stories today about either Smigel or Triumph just for an excuse to do the impression. Couldn’t find one. As I walk around my house babbling to myself, I have found I can’t do a half assed Triumph at all unless I have a proper Triumph script. I can’t just ad lib Triumph, whereas Deacon Mike comparently can ad lib Triumph. So maybe I’ll let him host the show one day.
Natasha Lazeiro spoke to skateboarding dot com, your home for skateboarding news, which you think I was gonna say. She was on Tony Hawk’s podcast, and she said, you know what I like about skateboarding? Actually, Natasha, I don’t tell us. It’s the only sport that’s associated with cool subcultures in my opinion, I mean football, soccer. Give me a break.

Joe’s podcast app. I don’t know why you used Joe’s podcast app, But you can use it. I’ve been pretty happy with this outdoor audio. I don’t know if you can hear the lawnmower landscapers to my right. The mic really hasn’t been picking that stuff up, which is fine, right, because then I can really sit outside and you guys won’t be like, what does he even do?
But I figure it’s a summer and it’s a comedy podcast, and I am influenced by eighties Letterman, and I’d like to think eighties Dave would appreciate me sitting next to the pool recording this thing while the landscapers go, why not? All right? This one from the Daily Mail. I’m gonna have to clean it up quite a bit. Hi.
Mai Caravaca is a Spanish comedian who was in the middle of performing a set in Madrid on Monday night. Jimei was suddenly interrupted by an enraged father who walked on stage and hit him in the head. Why. The attacker was heard saying those pedophiles comments about my son, say them on my facy piece of trash. Now, all right, what is this all about?
Apparently, mister Caravaca the day before on social media, had made a comment on the attacker’s son. The attacker had boasted a photo of himself and his young son on Twitter. The caption said pride and joy. Caravaca then posted something which I will quite clean up. No one will be able to avoid the possibility of your son being gay, and that when eighty’s older, he will become sick of doing favors and for whatever reason.
Caravaca commented on the skin pigmentation of the people you would perform the favors on? Did I say on four? I think we all know what I’m talking about? Now leave it in. The father said, what were you saying?
Huh that my son was going to eat? You know something? You know? Move on, he’s three months old, trash. Now what say to my face?
Say to my face right now? Oh this is good. I hope you can hear the leaf blowers. This is fun. Eighties Dave would love it.
An unidentified man interfered. The father said, I’m sorry, I’m just a father who’s defending his child. He’s made sexualizing comments about my three month old son. I don’t know why the comedian would post that. That’s just a weird move to begin with.
It’s not even funny. The father then points to Caravak and says that has its consequences. He called Caravaca clown and then smacked him in the face again and walked off stage. Police called to the scene made no arrests, as the comedian chose not to file a complaint against the father, awkwardly switching topics. Eugene Merman, who you know supposedly stars in Boburger’s You know my deal with that?
Yeah right. He’s announced a tour It’s called an Evening of Whimsy and Mild Grievances. This kicks off September sixth in Seattle. I’m shouting over the landscape as he probably can’t even hear now. I love it.
Portland in September, and then taking all of October off. Presumably he’ll plug in some dates there Madison, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and Chicago on November sixth, seventh, and eighth. Michael Keaton is trying to trick me into saying beetlejuice three times. It’s not going to work. But he was talking about that character in that movie, you know, the one, and he said there had been so much merchandising of it, I had to drop back to where it started.
I had to go was my unusual imagination even thinking about it when I was developing in the first place. As opposed to seeing a coffee mug or a golf club cover. That was weird. To be honest with you, being very frank, it was off putting to look at it and go, I don’t want to look at all these things. F that what was the thing that started this?
On Gossip Corner, Joe Cooy turned fifty three. He celebrated his birthday by making a last minute announcement for meet and greet swag and a round of drinks at the popular Filipino American drink and dessert chain Cafe eighty six. You’ll find Cafe eighty six in Artisia, California. Joe Coy said, come say ay, come say a happy birthday, and I brought a whole bunch of birch I’m just gonna give away for free. It’s about the community, y’all, Filipino supporting other Filipinos.
You know what I’m saying. That’s what it’s all about. So this is on me. This is how we’re gonna hang out, guys on my birthday. About two hundred people showed up.
Joe KOI hung out for a few hours. He then shared, I spent this whole day with my family. Thank you Cafe eighty six. We did it, and everybody that came out, Stay blessed, stay warm, and stay around your family. I love you, guys.
Cheers. Joe Coy is on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Michelle Buttoo is taping her special at Radio City tonight. One of the listeners told me on the side, a listener, you know who you are. The listener is dming me so I don’t like to reveal people.
Perhaps this person wants to stay private, but thank you for the note. The listener told me that Michelle is the first female comedian record a special at Radio City. That surprised me. It’s twenty twenty four. Radio City Music Hall is not new.
You would have thought somebody did it by now, but I guess not. Pace Magazine watched Dan Lacanta’s new special for the Boys, which was filmed in front of an auditorium of fifteen year old male students at Locata’s alma mater, I’m Harrison Central High School in Buffalo. Pace says Licata performs as a heightened, blustering version of himself. His persona coming across like a stoner friend of AJ sopranos who never quite grew up, sprinkled with malapropisms and his unofficial cat trees. You know I had to do it to him.
Lakata’s Hours, made up of one off stories that are all hyperbole and unbridled vulgarity for the Boys, is streaming for free on YouTube. Right I’m going in the pool. That’s your comedy news for today. If you like this thing, ad free, explain that already didn’t I and the promos probably gonna run next anyway. Just listen to that.
They’ll tell you what to do see tomorrow
