Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Theovonn had Donald Trump on. They started talking about cocaine. They were discussing opioids when Trump asked the Vonn, who was in recovery from cocaine but not opioid addiction, how he’d gotten addicted to drugs himself.
Vaughn said, I would just do cocaine. Trump laughed and remark, that’s down dirty, right. He also asked if von still takes cocaine or if it became too much to handle. THEO said, some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it too. I don’t know where we were even getting it from in this country, but yeah, it started to making me feel like I was a mechanic or something.
Trump was curious, So the thing you go back to then is alcohol for the most part, THEO said, yeah, but what I probably want is cocaine. But I know if I have a drink that’ll get me. It’ll be like, all right, if I had a drink, then I could do this. Trump asked, is cocaine a stronger up? Vaughn said, cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie.
You know what I’m saying, You’ll be out on your own porch. Trump jumped in and said, and that it’s a good feeling, and THEO Vaughn said, no, it’s horrible. Trump. So it’s not even good during what would normally be the good time. In other words, so why would you do it?
You think you’re controlling it? And Vaughn said yeah, and then you’re go kart racing with hookers and stuff. It gets bad. During the interview, Trump attributed his own a version of alcohol to some advice he’d gotten from his brother decades ago. I had a great brother who taught me a lesson, don’t drink.
Trump’s older brother, Fred, died in nineteen eighty one at age forty two from a heart attack that his family said stem from alcoholism. Trump told THEO that Fred was a great guy. He was a handsome, very handsome guy. Admired so much about him. He had so much going a the look, he had unbelievable personality.
Somewhere along the line, it happened all of a sudden. You know, it’s not unique, it’s a very common story, unfortunately.
And then the family would see it and start to notice it it didn’t get better.
I would say that if I did drink, I could conceivably be the type of person on an alley they would have like you, like I have a problem. He was wise in a sense. Think of it. He got this problem and it was very important for him to convey to me to not have the problem. And I couldn’t have been successful if I had that problem.
He had a great talent for flying. He was a pilot, but ultimately had to give that up because the alcohol. He had to give that up, which was a hard thing for him to do, but he had to give that up. Excited did you take the week off like I did to watch Adam Sandler special Tomorrow? It’s out on Netflix.
Can’t wait? Sandler told Vulture before we did the show, I did a set at the Hayworth in LA with no monitors, no nothing. I just went up there with a guitar and did it. All the jokes are nice when they’re just jokes. Josh Safti, who directed it, said, we had to sell that the monitors didn’t work, so we built a venue where that would make sense.
We wanted to make it look like it had been there for sixty years. At a real vibe. John Tuturo said it was like hanging out his friend’s basement and laughing at his funniest friends. Adam Sandler’s Love You a Little over seventy minutes. Oh that’s awesome, and it had to be cut down for more than three hours of footage from six shows performed at this purposely ramshackle spot where the mayhem could come at any moment.
That means not only were we getting seventy minutes of hilarious Adam Sandler comedy, there’s like two plus hours of unreleased footage. Maybe we can get a Blu ray with some extras, and maybe they could make three more spec out of this. Boy, the world’s gonna get all this Adam Sandler outtakes. Imagine how exciting the stuff that didn’t make the special, How great that stuff must be. I can’t wait.
Jimmy Carr, whose comedy I Enjoy a Lot, is set to host a UK version of Last One Laughing for Prime Video. In the Last One Laughing, Jimmy Carr will challenge ten of the UK’s top comedians to make each other laugh, with the last one to laugh crown the winner. The press release says famous for his dark humor one liners. In That Laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges ten of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up themselves.
There have been twenty international versions of this, including France, Germany and Italy. Rebel Wilson hosts the Australian version. I think from memory, didn’t Trevor Noah do a version of this too? Carr said, I’m thrilled to be making Last One Laughing UK with Prime Video. It’s short to deliver and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun with your neighbors.
Usually when I make a TV show with ten brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have al what a good laugh, But not in this series. The Last One Laughing wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first. A Lot of Glazer has a new comedy special coming to Hulu.
This one called Human Magic. It was taped at the Elgin in Winter Garden Theater Center in Toronto. In May, Hulu stepping it up. So now we have specials. They’re going to do one a month.
So we have Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burrroywood Junior, and now a lot of Glazer. That’s exciting. More bad news from Christina Pee. She explained on her podcast that she did have the surgery to remove the cancer, but and I’ll quote her here, she needs to get a quote pair of fakers because additional surgeries are needed. She said, they didn’t, unfortunately get everything.
After we did the first surgery. They went through the materially took out and there’s still some laughs. So mom is gonna have to go back and get chop chops, both taitas. But then I’ll get some real nice fakers. She joked about how she’ll wind up having four sets of breasts in her lifetime, the originals these then reduced, then attempt track they’re gonna put in like temporary ones.
I won’t be flat, and then the final result, which I’m super stoked for. After this, I should be right his reign. I feel positive about it. It only took me what nine days to come back after my surgery. Shane Gillis was on a Knicks podcast and said, yeah, the Knicks suck.
Dude. It’s all good though, you guys want a serious It’s felt so good of the Garden back the mecca of basketball at a zero Bleepin’ rings. Nick four Josh Hart took to social media to respond to Shane Gillis, saying, man, I like Shane Gillis, now I gotta hate him. Vulcher had somebody at Ellen’s last show. They wrote the mood was lively outside Minneapolis’s Orpheum Theater ahead of the comedian’s final tour stop.
A pair of religious protesters interrupted the pre show buzz with some biblical stuff. One woman near the box office yelled, you don’t know crap. Had a man in a T shirt which read repent or perish. Opener. Tom Ryles till the audience tonight, you are all part of history.
This is the last time Ellen will ever be on stage performing comedy again, and we’re tabing in for in Netflix. Tom Ryles, a former Ellen show employee, didn’t tell jokes. He spent the time apparently ushering the audience into a zone of Ellen, writes Vulture. Tom Morales told charming anecdotes about his boss, including one about her lobbying him to name his daughter Ellen. The audience was apparently raucus.
One observational bid about how restaurant menus should feature a large print option for old people or in the kind of applause usually reserved for closers. Ellen joked about how she closed her show with be kind of one Another and said, had I ended my show by saying, go f yourself, people would have been pleasantly surprised. Egyptian American comedian and TV host bossum Usef has deactivated his Twitter account citing safety concerns. Yousef said anti Semitism was an accusation that used to freeze the blood in people’s veins. I see many people now realizing how the sphere tactic is used to shut down conversations and scare people.
It’s been overused and abused in order to intimidate people. He later clarified in an Instagram post that he was not banned. He wrote, no, my Twitter account wasn’t taken down by X, and I don’t wish to falsely victimize myself using this. When safety issues concerning my loved ones are alleviated, I might consent coming back. I wish to deal with this away from the media.
I’ll still be posting my content on TikTok, Insta and Facebook. Punky Johnson talked to Entertainment Weekly about leaving Saturday Night Live and said it’s a big decision. I feel like with me and SNL was a neutral thing. By February of last season, I was like, nope, I’m done this season. Before that, I questioned it, and I talked to my team like, I really don’t know if I belong at this job, so maybe I should step away.
I told them super super late, right after I found i’d get to go back, and they’re like, Punky, you need a plan. You can’t just quit your job. I never grew up in sketch. I never went to a sketch school. I didn’t really feel like I fit like it was in my zone.
That show’s for a different type of person. I’m crazy, mo r out of the box. I’m all over the place. That show is a structure. She said about Lauren Michaels, and the tone here is lovingly.
I think I drove him crazy to the point where he just started ignoring me. He’s just like, get out of my face, I’d mess with him. My relationship with the show is still strong, and we just mutually understood that it wasn’t my zone. Saturday Night Live, Season fifty September twenty eighth in That is your comedy news for today.
