Callaroga, Shark Media, find me home. Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Ellen Degenerous’s news specialist out on Netflix today. I love this tweet from Michael Ian Black, who wrote, she’s saying she got kicked out of show business during her special on the top page streaming platform in the world. Well done.
Hey, you know who’s really good at keeping a secret? John Mulaney Say? John Mulaney had a massive drug problem. He wouldn’t let you know or say he was going to have a second child. He wouldn’t tell you about it.
But Olivia Munn went on Instagram and wrote May June Mulaney came into the world September fourteenth, twenty twenty four, the year of the Dragon. May spells her name me e I. Olivia Munn wrote, I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate, we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding.
I knew I had found a real life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for nine months and made our dreams come true. I’m so proud of my little plum my little Dragon, for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded. She added that May means plum in Chinese.
Mulanie shared the photo on his Instagram as well, but also added a video of baby May spitting up on Malany’s shirt. Has he burped her? Now? If you’re a regular listener to this program, you may have picked up I’m not the biggest fan of most Adams Sailor movies, although, to be fair to Adam Sandler, like three of the last five have been pretty good, so maybe he’s getting better, Which leads to the question should I be in an Adam Sandler movie? I saw this on backstage September twenty fourth in New Jersey, West Orange, New Jersey.
I could be there in half an hour. Exterior day shoot non SAG rate one hundred and seventy six dollars for ten hours. That’s sixteen dollars an hour. The background role is not covered by SAG After CBA, you must be able to present valid ID to fill out a Federal I nine form to be paid. Height, weight, and clothing sizes are used for costuming purposes only, unless needed for the casting of stand ins or photo doubles.
What’s crazy is the listing says Monday September twenty fourth. That’s not a thing this year, the next Monday September twenty fourth, probably for not another five years. I think they misspoke here, but it says September twenty fourth twice, so I think that’s today. Should I go? Should I be in an Adam Sandler movie?
Wouldn’t that be amazing? Do you like Saturday Night Live? Well, good, because we are going to talk about Saturday Night Live every single day for the next nine months. Let’s pick away at that Lorne Michael’s interview, he was talking about the Shane Gillis incident, as it’s now called Wow. Lauren said, we had a bad time when I added Shane to the cast in twenty nineteen.
He got beat up for things he’d done years earlier, and the overaction to it was so stunning, and the velocity of it was two hundred Asian companies were going to boycott the show. It became a scandal, and I go, no, no, he’s just starting and he’s really funny, and you don’t know how we’re gonna use him. Well, that’s interesting. Why did you fire him? Then?
Back then Shane apologized to anyone who’s actually offended by anything I said. He later called his own apology corny and took it back. You may recall Shane Gillis hosted SNL in February. Lord said, oh right, he’s really tilted. He would have been really good for us.
I dabbled with this yesterday. Who’s going to play Trump? I’m very sad to think that they might not have James Austin Johnson do Trump, especially if they bring Alec Baldwin back. They asked Lauren point blank, Well Johnson continue playing Trump. Where do you welcome Alec Baldwin back?
Lauren said, I think James will be there, but I don’t want to get into what I’m doing. Trump has morphed. James, who I think is brilliant, played Trumps the sort of diminish Trump, the guy at the back of the hardware store holding court, and that played because it felt relevant. We’re gonna have to reinvent it again, because well you saw the debate. One of the great parts of show business is that you can’t come back with the same show.
So all these characters have to be re examined and if it makes sense and feels relevant. You know you’re on the right track. You know I don’t agree, but Lord Michaels has been more successful than I have. Who am I to tell Lord Michaels that that’s a bad idea Fifty years in. Of course, we all overlook the five years Lauren didn’t do SNL forty five of fifty years in, Lauren deserves some credit here, younger people.
After the initial cast left, Lauren also laughed and was not the show order from like nineteen eighty through eighty four and then came back. Doesn’t mean it’s bad. I’m just telling you what happened. The first year without Lauren was a disaster at the show almost got canceled Bavy Club rights. Over the last five years alone, the show’s adjusted its take on Joe Biden at least five times, with Woody Harrison and Jim Carrey playing candidate Biden, Alex Moffitt, James Austin Johnson, and finally mikey Day playing him as president.
Lauren told The Hollywood Reporter, I think we have the people to play the candidates and it should be fun. SNL back Saturday, Chloe Feineman told Variety, I’m hoping that I can finally make my Milania Trump debut. She said she’s been sitting on her impression of Malania for about five years. The Gonzaga Bulletin went to go see THEO Vaughn. They had a review.
Let’s see what they said. Armed with a mullet Louisiana and accent and a somewhat unorthodox comedic style, THEO Vaughn took on the Spokane Arena on September twelfth. With the packed house, Vaughn managed to address today’s topics with his personal flare and humor. Von Sett matched the style all of his podcast. He clearly had topics that he thought about beforehand and wanted to touch on, Yet it seemed most of the show was off the dome.
The entire energy and success of the event was less owned to Vaughn’s practice and script, but more to his natural Chrisman understanding of his audience. Thus, the show had a conversational, casual tone to it. One man ended up being the victim of Vaughn’s crowd workabilities, with Von jokingly accusing him of being a pedophile. The man later revealed himself to be working as a teacher. That got a lot of laughs.
The Gonzaga Bulletin writes perhaps the most interesting aspect of Vaughn’s companies the underlying sense of satire in relation to the topics he seems to enjoy. While the audience hangs on every joke about gun ownership and down syndrome, they seem to miss the reference to Edgar Allen Poe’s short story The Tell Tale Heart. Vonn knows his audience, but it doesn’t seem that the audience knows Vaughn. Interesting. Kamala Harris is not going to the Al Smith dinner that’s being hosted by Jim Gaffigan.
Sorry, Jim. Kamala also appeared on Oprah’s Unite for America rally. On that she said, if somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot. Sorry.
Also on that phone call Chris Rock who knows.
And while we’re being political, the cast of Veepel reunite for a virtual table read in support of helping Dems win up and down the ballot and Wisconsin. This takes place on the twenty ninth at eight pm. Cast members from Veeple perform at table read of the show’s third season episode Create, hosted by Stephen Colbert, Crate is the season three episode where Julia’s character finds out the current president is stepping down, elevating her to the Oval Office. Julie told The Hollywood Reporter, we try to find an old episode where the president accused immigrants of eating dogs and cats back when we were making VEEP. That seemed insane and over the top.
Send your letters to Julia Louis Dreyfus. I’m just reporting here. Amy Poehler will get top honors at the Bring Change to Mind’s at twelfth Annual Revels and Revelation fundraiser. That is a mouthful. It’s an award given by Robin Williams children, Zach, Zelda and Cody.
The honor is presented to entertainers who spread laughter and awareness through acts of kindness, charity, and revelatory honesty that makes people feel heard, seen, unless alone, and through many ways, make the world a brighter, more open, and caring place. Amy Polar accept the war during an event held at a private residence in Woodside, California, on World of Mental Health Day, October tenth. Gavin Mattz is one of the comedians you should and will know, according to Vulture, which comedian’s career trajectory would you most like to follow? He said, sindbad Chelsea Preidi, Norm MacDonald, worst show, I love a bad show and a bomb. What a funny memory imprint to leave on lrandom people who just wanted to have a good time.
Three years ago, I headlined a show in DC. I was forced to deal with a group of drunk hecklers for thirty minutes until they were finally kicked out. As they were being kicked out, a lady from their group sneak attack me on stage, rip the mic cord, check the mic across the room. Then another person from their group ended up with the mic and started explaining their case to the crowd. Was chaos.
After its settled, they made me go back on stage and finish my set. I don’t know why I had to go back on stage. What’s the biggest financial hurdle you’ve encountered, Gavin? I would say that needs to have money and to keep pursuing a dream as a pretty tough financial hurdle. And stand up.
You’re constantly going out of pocket. Comedy clubs will play for your travel, but only the end of your weekend, so you’re out like six hundred dollars like two months in advance. Baying for travel upfront really lessens the incentive for me to want to go to Phoenix. All Right, you got an unpopular comedy opinion, Gavin said in a random interview I did in twenty one, I said that stand up comedian should be forced to retire at forty. I take it back.
Longevity in comedy is a miracle, and I look up to anyone who’s made a career out of it. Though I do believe you should cap out at four comedy specials. You know that’s probably pretty smart. Best comedy advice, worst comedy advice. Best, do not hold the mic in front of your mouth.
Good advice to save me at least two years of talking straight into the microphone. Worst advice. Don’t wear those pants on stage. Bad advice. Wear whatever you want.
And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. You know what I’m saying. Let’s grow the show.
Actually, the number has been doing really well. I appreciate you all. If you’d like this thing without commercials, there’s a link in the show notes that I’ll tell you how that works. Let me be better about promoting Five Good News Stories. That’s a program I also host Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
There are five stories and they’re all good news or smiles, a lot of Guinness records, a lot of ridiculous things, a lot of animal stories. It’s fun. Check it out. Five Good News Stories wherever you get your show. See you tomorrow
