Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Shoenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I got to see where I am with the political comedy right now. Obviously it is an intense time. However, I think comedy is best when it’s reflecting on society.
So I’ll probably just do what I’ve been doing, which is following where the news takes me, and the news today takes me to the Daily Show. They were supposed to broadcast from Milwaukee, and then after the attempted assassination on Saturday night, they changed their plans. John Stewart was expected to host a live show following the convention’s conclusion on Thursday. On Sunday, the Daily Show put out a statement saying, our apologies for the inconvenience, but due to logistical issues and the evolving situation of Milwaukee, we need to reschedule our events on the ground in Wisconsin and we’ll look to make those up in the coming weeks. They’re never going to make those up.
Stop lying about that The Daily Show was supposed to record from Uline Hall. Hope. I pronounced that right at the Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee. Not sure what made them make this decision. I could speculate security concerns, but I found that very curious.
But I’m kind of surprised that they made that move.
Also, Bill Moore canceled his Sunday night show in Milwaukee.
He posted on acts it’s not gonna happen. I can tell you first, they said it’s gonna be impossible to get to the theater because downtown Milwaukee is going to be closed off for security reasons. Mars said he wanted to go to Milwaukee anyway, and maybe things will change. I hate to cancel shows. I was really looking forward to it.
Would do anything to be there, but I just can’t fight this. Another possible reason is that his plane broke and he was in Minneapolis and tried to get a commercial flight, but that was not possible. So I don’t know what’s going on there either. Shifting gears, Ari Shafir was on with Tucker Carlson. I don’t even know where Tucker Carlson has a show right now YouTube Twitter.
Who knows the topic Joe Rogan and Ari Shafer said, I mean he’s the best, the amount of support he has. Ari said, all Joe looks for a guest is whether they are funny or not. He’s just like, I’m the name, I’m Joe Rogan, So I want to put this guy on or that guy on, And if this guy’s funny, I want to push him to a big platform instead of like, what’s going to help me book my show. It’s interesting how he’ll be. Just the casual talking of the outlawness of stand up has helped all of us, whether or not you’ve been on a show or not.
He’s made stand up more popular. So now it’s all just succeeding on a crazy level. You know. I thought this was interesting. Back on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Neil Brennan spoke to Joe about Netflix specials.
I had missed this. I just haven’t gotten around to that episode yet. Oh by the way, top of mine, Tom s Goora had on John Stewart probably a month ago. But it’s a pretty good listen if you want to check that out on two beers, one cup? Is that called that one?
Anyway? The gist of the problem with a Netflix special, and I hadn’t thought about this before very interesting. In a live event, comedians are able to build up to the jokes instead of shortening the jokes and reaching the climax faster. The point being in a live event, the audience doesn’t want off. On Netflix, you can hit click Today’s Will Ferrell’s birthday.
Happy Birthday, John Will Ferrell. Decider caught up with Sam Morrell and they were curious, what’s the deal with comedians starting their own liquor brands? And I love this? Sam said, well, who else is there? There’s not many of this.
Bert Kreischer and Tom Sigora avaka Mark Norman and I have whiskey.
And then who else is there?
And Decider said, Jim Gaffigan just came out with his own bourbon. If you listen, you know I’m a big fan of Jim’s bourbon, and so SA have said, he copied us. You got to talk to Jim about that. Like, I love Kreischer and Tom because they were like, we don’t want to step on their toes. We’ll go clear spirits Gaffigan it didn’t seem to care.
It started as some limited edition thing, and now I think he’s going all in and we’re like, all right, he sent me a bottle. I’m not promoting it. If it was clear, I’d promote it. Sam, Why did you and Mark Norman do your deal with Padiga? Cat?
Sam said, Mark and I are old drinking buddies. That’s why we started a drinking podcast that is called We Might Be Drunk when we were young comics. That was the premise of the show, was that drink at the end of the night where we never get to see your friend, because that’s what happens at first. You get to hang out and drink all the time when you’re an open micro. But then we start hitting the road and that would turn into like one or two nights, and all that cashing up is caught up in one night, and every time we’d be like, all right, we should go one more drink, and then that one more drink turns into like six more and we be like, uh, it’s gonna be a rough Tuesday.
Because a comedy seller would just stay open, had to be blackout curtains and you’re like, I don’t know what time it is and you leave at six am. So we ended up doing a drinking podcast, and we talked about all these celebrities who have their own liquor and like it was cool to have your own liquor, and Mark’s like, too bad. We can’t do that. Wait, why can’t we do that? We have listeners who run distilleries.
I bet you have a good listenership of drinking people, service industry people, distillery people, And sure enough we got hit up by so many people and it went from there. If you want to do something, there are ways to do it. You might have to do a little bit more of the work and it might be annoying. But I’ll tell you sometimes you go with the bigger people and they don’t know how to do. They do it yourself type stuff, and they could use a little more of that.
You know, when things are all buttoned up in corporate sometimes there’s forty people on an email and nothing gets done. Oh my goodness, boy, I’ll tell you, having worked at some big broadcast companies, I’ve worked at a mom and pop and now I’ve got my two man shop here in the basement. Two man shop is the easiest. Mom and pop is the second easiest. The big corporation.
You have forty people on an email, nothing gets done. I hear you, Sam, And when it’s just you, we have to make sure it gets done. So you know, there’s benefits to do it yourself, but also to a point, it could be stressful both ways. Nikki Glaser was on the Jimmy Kimmel Liss Show last week Come outnn Gianni was the guest host. Nicki started talking about going to see Taylor Swift and said, I was on a break from tour and I was seeing Taylor Swift.
That’s what I do with my free time. I was following Taylor around Europe. Europe just happened to be there when she was there. When I have weekends off from my own tour, I fly to go see her. She compared herself to a divorced dad doing his best to see his daughter.
Nicki says she’s been to seventeen shows in fifteen months and has never taken a bathroom break in any of the concerts, and average at Taylor shows around three and a half hours. Nicki said, for me, it’s either that or cocaine, and luckily I can afford both. Ricky Gervais is working on an animation about cats untitled show We’ll see Ricky Reunite with seven Stars of Afterlife. Ricky said, we started it and it’s going to take a long time because it’s animation. It won’t be finished until later this year.
I don’t think there’s anything like it. I did animation because I thought I’m getting old now and filming is a hard slog. I thought animation, that’s easy. It’s not. I’ve been a fool.
So this morning I was at the National Donuts chain getting my coffee and Evil Billing Vall sitting there in the corner, and I almost said hi to him, and then a couple of things. I’m like, One, I don’t actually know Evil Billingvall. And two, perhaps even more importantly, he doesn’t know that he’s Evil Billing Fall. He’s in his life. He’s just a guy at Dunkin Donuts.
And this guy comes in with a baseball hat every morning around seven am. So I have to remember I don’t know the bad, but Evil bill Ingvall was there this morning. Did you check out the artist A Killer’s Canvas. That’s the new podcast from the Caloroga Shark Media Network about a serial killer. You definitely want to check that one out.
Also, all this political stuff if you like it with some snark, pay attention to ballot. That show’s been in a real nice groove since the debate, the whole Iden stuff last week. You know now we’ve got the Republican National Convention. The stuff over the weekend clearly not funny, but Ballot did find a way to make a joke about it, and that joke was and I was involved in the writing on it. So we were trying to figure out out how do you cover this and be a smart ass but not be a douchebag about it?
And we found that the Asbury Park Press went with the headline this was real stars of the Jersey Shore react to Trump shooting and we’re like, oh, okay. So the joke that came out of that was when the situation gets serious. The situation gets serious, Ballot, wherever you get your podcasts? Oh, I want to talk about the audio chain too. I mentioned last week I got a new MacBook because the keyboard on the old MacBook broke.
Specifically the letters C, D and E. All of those appeared in my last name. See also appears in commands such as control C for copy. So it was getting really hard to make any shows. How about a new MacBook?
And I haven’t totally got the audio chain back to match what I used to have. I had a step. There’s a program called aphonic that it would used to level the audio as the last step, and the auphonic program doesn’t run on these new M three chips that Apple has, so I have to figure out a way for that. So if the audio has been like a little different, that’s what’s going on there. Let’s hit gossip corner.
Pete Davidson spotted in Yellow Springs, Ohio. You know who’s often spotted in Yellow Springs, Ohio? Dave Chappelle. Well, somebody on Facebook captured them both in the same photo. We see Pete Davison walking next to Chappelle with a large smile on his face, both of them wearing all black outfits with white shoes.
Mariah said she saw the comedians walking across the street from Peach’s grill, and said she and her husband briefly exchanged pleasantries with the two while driving by. Wait, it’s one thing to like walk down the street and be like, oh, hey Dave, hey Pete, Hey, how you doing great. It’s another thing to kind of what slow down, roll down the window, hey dad, And then they nod back and they go hey, and they go back to the corners. I don’t know what happened, and I don’t know. I’m speculating I’m making things up, but the story does say briefly exchange pleasantries with the two while driving by.
Chris Getten is getting a podcast. This one’s called Idionically Speaking with Chris Getten, a weekly comedy and variety podcast. It’ll launch July twenty fourth and feature guest chatting with Chris and his co hosts Andy and Joseph, and then participating in an improv comedy scenario. The podcasting executive and me noticed that the story says they signed Chris Cattan to a multi year contract. I don’t know what to read into multi Let’s assume it’s at least two multi year to me suggests three, but let’s say it’s two.
That’s aggressive, guys. Some of the guests on Idionically Speaking will include Fred Armison, Dana Carvey, Rachel Dratch, Tim Meadows, Bobby moynihan, Chris Parnell, and Cecily Strong. So it sounds like this is playing on the same corner that the Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast is playing on. Chris Catten said, Andy, Joe and I are incredibly excited to launch the show with such a joy to interview old friends reconnect and chat about our journeys from our days on SNL to our lives today, and we can’t wait for fans to hear the hilarious new sketches we’re cooking up with these comedy legends each week.
