Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenni Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Nate Berghatzy will host a holiday special for CBS Put That in Your back Pocket. It’s produced by Lorne Michaels. The press release tells us the show will shine a spotlight on the heart and spirit of Nashville during the holiday season, including family fun and feel good moments that resonate with audiences of all ages.
Nate said, I’m extremely excited to be creating the special as I’ve long been a big fan of variety and we don’t see enough of it. I want to make a great show for families to gather around and watch together, and I couldn’t be in better hands than with this team. No title yet, no date yet other than December. My Hemming and Hawing don’t all Lorne Michaels projects go to NBC slash Peacock. This one going to CBS slash Paramount Plus in SNL’s fiftieth season.
That’s odd. Adam Sailor announced on Monday that Happy Gilmour two is in production. Exciting Netflix posted on Twitter. Happy Gilmore two is officially in production. Sandler went on Instagram and said, it ain’t over the way I see it.
We’ve only just begun. Adam Sandlor also dropped by the Manning cast during Monday Night Football when my San Francisco forty nine Ers completely manhandled the New York Jets Aaron Rodgers through a pass intended for wide receiver Garrett Wilson was tipped in the air and intercepted by forty nine Ers linebacker Demetrius Flanagan fowls. Adam Sandlor said, maybe you should get rid of me. I don’t want to be here. I’m going that was terrible.
This is a mistake. Jimmy Fallon was mid monologue and then suddenly said, wait, I can’t do that joke. That news is almost three months old. Then out walks Colin Jost and Michael Jay. Joe said, seems old to you, Jimmy, but we’ve been away all summer.
There’s so much news that we haven’t been able to joke about. So we were wondering would it be okay if we told some of those jokes from the summer right now? Fallon agreed, as if Fallon’s going to go no, I’m hosting the tonight show. I can’t believe you just walked on and thought we were going to do a surprise segment. That’s not how the show works.
Fallon said. In July, Donald Trump chose Ohio Senator eighty vance As as a running mate, to which Cha tagged, well, I guess he can’t dodge every bullet. Fallon said, I saw that Kendrick Lamar hosted a massive June Teeth concert in La Cha joked, which is weird because I thought it was Drake who liked the teenths. You either know what that means or not. Most of Colin Joe’s lines had the implication they were written by Chase to sabotage him.
Fallon said. This summer, Louisiana became the first date to mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom. Joe said, wow, every public school classroom. My only question is what’s public school? Fallon an Indiana court ruled that at Taco’s a sandwich, Jost a Taco’s a sandwich, that’s it.

It is called Single Lady. It’ll be out in October.
Filmed at the Wiltern Theater in la as part of the Netflix Festival, Alli opens up about post divorce life and the quest for love. I didn’t know this. Ali Wang was named one of Times one hundred most Influential People in both twenty twenty and twenty twenty three. Ricky Gervais is in a fight with his neighbors over plans to build a noisy tennis court. I don’t know if he’s planning to build a noisy tennis court, but that’s what the neighbors are saying.
Ricky wants to rip up his back garden and put down a new permeable sports surface for the occasional game of tennis. He also has plans to demolish a basketball court, waterwall, per goda and some retaining walls. Neighbors are complaining about noise and las privacy, and you know, the trees being tarn down in a designated conservation area. Neighbors fear the court could also be used for five a side football and lead to flooding. I don’t know.
Is Ricky Dravas having people over for some five on five soccer games. I struggle to imagine it, but what do I know. In a letter to the local council, one neighbor wrote, it will not only be the ball or balls being hit or bounced before serving that will be noisy. If practicing a machine firing balls over the net is even more noisy. The players will make noise when speaking or shouting to each other.
From time to time, there’ll be spectators watching shouting and cheering. There’s no fencing around the court, so they’ll be a danger of being hit by a ball boy. I don’t know who to side with here. Like if my neighbors were tearing down the woods and putting in a tennis court, I’d be like, all right, that’s a little bit much. But on the other hand, I don’t think i’d be worried.
Like I’m sitting by my pool and a tennis ball is gonna hit me. I’m not too worried about that.
Also, if the neighbors started having five on five soccer games in the yard, …
Ricky Gervais, planning agent, said, this new law is no enclosure or lighting, and it’s been designated to be visually an acoustically screened from the neighbors. Officials at Barnett’s Council will make a decision later this month. Today is a September eleventh. I am a New Yorker. I was in the city on that particular day, so it does not a day I can ignore.
Back in twenty twenty one, Vulture wrote about how comedians handled the environment after twenty twenty one. Very good article. If you want to go back and read it. They spoke to Bob Sagett at the time, who said, about two or three weeks right after nine eleven, I went to New York because I had a press tour for a TV show that was premiering October fifth. I think I went up at the comedy seller and talked about it a bit sarcastically and backhandedly, plugging a sitcom and how meaningless everything felt, especially show business, and yet I felt it was part of my job to make people laugh when I could, as soon as it felt like they wanted it and needed it.
I had not one joke about nine to eleven. When I did stand up, was to distract with my silly jokes, and if they were reverent, it was only in the way of talking about things that were unrelated to that event. In my PG nineteen style of comedy, There’ll never be anything for one about nine eleven. I’ve never done a joke about it. The mere mention of it does for me what it does for most people.
It makes us hurt as deeply as possible, for those I perished, and for all those who lost their loved ones. Patton Oswalt said, I was on stage less than a week later. Blaine Kapitch woke me up with the scariest phone call I’ve ever received. It was eight o’clock in the morning on the West Coast, and there’s Blaine’s voice in my ear. After I answered, saying turn on the TV.
Man, I asked what channel. He said, doesn’t matter, and then he hung up. The walk from my bedroom to the TV in the living room was eighteen nightmares and as many steps click on the TV, and I’m living in a different world. I was on stage at the Largo the next Monday, the seventeenth. I’d had six days to be variably hopeful and stupid, angry, paranoid, and then terrified.
So I hit the stage that Monday. I was the least president I’d ever been as a comedian, as a person. So was everyone else. No one didn’t talk about it on that show. I think Sarah Silverman and Kevin Sickia went up.
I can’t remember anyone else, and I can’t remember too much of what I said, except at one point out of nowhere, I just blurted, I keep seeing people say the hijackers are all religion and violence than they are, but we’re the bloated late SEVENTI Zeppelin and Emerson Lake and Palmer of Relige violence. Those guys are the ramones. They’ll carry their own amps while we’re arguing for bigger fog machines something like that. There’s a lot of fear and self righteousness, and I knew right as I was saying it that the comedy was gonna suck for a while. Monster Brownie said either the following Saturday, maybe two saturdays after, I’d been hired to do a private event at someone’s house in Irvine, California.
Irvine is pretty notoriously red steady, and they called this guy and I said, hey, I don’t know if it’s a good idea if I’d come to do my show. How can you be funny now? And with my background, I feel like I’m coming to the dragon’s layer. And the guy was like, Noah, you should come. People need to laugh and be good for everybody and listen if it makes you feel any better.
My wife’s actually Turkish, so she’s from that part of the world as well, and that helped me feel a little more. Okay, I flipped my act so it didn’t lead with me being Iranian. At one point I said, oh, by the way, I’m Iranian and then said something along the lines of like, yeah, I know, I’m disappointed too, meaning hey, I didn’t have any to do with it. I felt like I had a tiptoe of that portion of my act because of my fear of having some sort of retribution. The difficult part of the show was not that it was necessarily that there were a bunch of racists there standing at me.
Was the show being at a fancy home in Irvine outside by a pool, which is not the best for a comedy acoustics. I remember I bought an American flag and put it at the back of my car. I don’t know if it was out of fear of having somebody shoot me or if it was out of patriotism. I was probably aut of both. I was pulling into the parking lot of the comedy store and there was this comedian, Marilyn Martinez.
She was laughing at me in a funny way. She was like, oh my god, look at master Brownie. He’s got his flag. Just try and blend in. And I go, hell, yeah, Marylyn, I’m blending in.
I’m not your comedy needs for today.
