Caloroga Shark Media. Arian A Corande hosts Saturday Night Live Tonight. I say that with the emphasis on the tea, otherwise of my native accent. It’s just Satnite Live musical guest Stevie Nicks. I don’t know if you know this SNL turning fifty.
We’re gona talk about ever day the next eight months. Yallar reporter asked Michael Chase, if you see on your phone that Lord Michaels is calling, what’s your reaction. I’d freak out, I know I would. Chase said something’s wrong. I’m always like, uh, oh, who did it?
And how are we gonna fix it? Or it’s something like, oh, we’re hosting the Emmys. But I have a great relationship with Lord. I think everybody’s relationship with him boils down to the fact that he’s one of the few people who you truly respect their opinion about show business because he’s seen it all. Same question as Colin Jost, Joe says, it depends on what time it is and what section of the year it is.
Jay says, if it’s three AM, and it says FaceTime video Boss has been drinking, that’s funny. Joe says no, he’s a night owl and he has different relationships because of it. He’s up to three four am every night, so he’s certain people he knows they’re always up then two, and they have communication between the hours of two and four and not in an out drinking way, just a regular new conversation. But it’s three am. Do you guys stay up all night?
Chase says, yup. Choset said, I had a long run, but I can’t anymore. I think he’s learned that I’m not gonna respond until nine am, and then he’s gonna see it at eleven AM when he wakes up. This is fun. I like this interview.
A lot interesting come in here from Lorne Michaels. Six or seven years ago. Somebody high up with the network who never asked me sn no questions out of respect, said update with Jose and Chay. Do you think that’s working? And Lauren’s answer says, I said no, not yet, and he said, oh, you know, I’m like, of course, I know.
But there’s a chemistry there and we’ve had a lot of good combinations, but these two just brought out the best of each other. Like who else could make jokes about Colin and Scarlett and the joke swap. Whatever hostility he thought was lurking below the surface, it’s all visible in the joke swap. But it’s meant to be funny, and it’s truly funny. I just like to chake and take these positions which kind of fly in the face of the values of most of the audience, and he’s funny and they laugh and they like him.
Wow, that is interesting. Are there ground rules for the joke swap? Jay says, I don’t know if there’s a line. I think anything can work given the circumstance.
And also nothing can work given the circumstance.
Jay gives great answers. He is so insightful with these things, insightful and funny at the same time. I love his answers. Jay said, My thing with joke Swap, which is the most stand up thing we do at SNLS, that the audience just has to believe that I’m trying to embarrass Colin and that this really bothers him and vice versa. And if that comes across, then they’re not thinking about the content of the jokes.
So it’s not oh, that’s a racist joke. It’s more, oh, I can’t believe he’s gonna make him say that out loud, Holly Reporter, why do you think you’ve both ultimately stayed at the show? Chay my mortgage? Now, we love it. We love the show.
It’s a weird thing because you get moments where you love it so much and drives you’re crazy and you want to be as far away from it as possible. Joe says, It’s like when you play golf. A lot of times, it’s very frustrating, and there are times you certainly consider quitting, but then you hit a good shot and you’re like, Wow, I love this game. I should do this all the time. That’s the way it is with SNL.
When everything comes together and all the costumes look great and the timing’s perfect and the crowd’s good, You’re just like, this is the best job in the world, this next door r Let me just be honest with you. I’m recording this on Wednesday to accommodate my schedule. Bert Kreischer posted on Facebook his Bert aid show was supposed to be in Tampa tonight. Now I’m in the past. You know what the situation in Tampa is right now, So if I’m a little tone deaf.
I just want to be clear. I recorded this already three days ago. But here we’ll let Bert explain Tampa. This is the least important information you’ll hear all week. But obviously my show October twelfth at Ruthhickert Hall has been pushed was for the relief for Hurricane Helen, and now we will do it November fifteenth, and apparently it’ll be for both hurricanes.
If you’re in Tampa, stay safe, evacuate if you can. And if you grew up with me, send me a text. Because my parents are staying in Tampa for the hurricane. They’re not leaving. We try to get them to leave, so I may need you to check up on them.
God bless, stay safe. I will see you soon. I stumbled across this article. I don’t know how much I’m going to get out of it. This is one of those things.
I’m just diving in the pool. I make it thirty seconds zero. We might go another eight minutes, but the first two things. Let me tell you what it is. This is from Thehrdtimes dot net.
The premise every character from Lost ranked by how they’d be as a guest on the Joe Rogan experience, so that’s fun. I was like, oh, I’ll do this. They’ll be like ten. No, there’s eighty and number eighty is Michael, and I’m not gonna read all eighty. I’m just gonna read the ones that make me laugh.
Seventy nine is Charlie and the premise from The Hard Times is it turns out that Joe Rogan hates the band Drive Shaft, and we know Charlie is always seeking approval, so the episode would be incredibly hard to listen to because Charlie would relapse on air. Seventy eight is Alana Verdansky. Hard Times has a good writer. They wrote Rogan would forget who she is, just like the rest of us. Is quite frankly, it’s astonishing we took the time to add her to this list.
I have no idea who she is, and I love Lost. I’m going to look it up. Is this Saturday filler? John? Did you tape this like two weeks ago?
Maybe? Alana is introduced in the sixth episode of the fifth season of Loss as an officer boarding a Jira Airways flight three sixteen with Sayid in her custody. Okay, yeah, I guess that’s someone seventy seven, Nikki and Paulo seventy six, David Shepherd. That’s Jack’s son that doesn’t really exist. Seventy five is Shannon seventy four, Bernard seventy three, Detective Mars seventy two, Vincent the Dog seventy one Frogert Ten minutes in Joe Rogan would casually hint that lifting weights might help Frogert get laid more seventy Sarah Wagner, who Rogan would spend the whole episode asking but seriously, why do you leave Jack, while Sarah just rolls her eyes and mothers something about daddy issues.
Sixty nine Kate’s Dad sixty eight Liam Pace. Rogan would kick off the episode with her drive Shaft is finally gonna have a reunion, only for Liam to explain, now, man, you’re thinking of oasis. That’s pretty good. Sixty seven is Phil He’s one of the Dormer crew. Sixty six is Bram.
Bram would rant about Jacob saving the world, and Joe would randomly ask, but if you tried Lion’s main coffee, Brian would shake his head, muttering, you’re on the wrong side. Joe. Sixty five is Nadia sixty four is Boone, Remember Boone? Sixty three is Aldo. He was played by Rob Mcalenny.
Rogan would be excited to drop it’s always Sonny in Philadelphia references, assuming Aldo knows about it because of the actor’s connection. Aldo, completely oblivious, would just blink and ask, what’s always Sonny, leaving Rogan awkwardly butchering the dentist system. Okay, apparently I am going to get eight minutes out of this. Sixty two is Carmen Carman would spend the whole episode trying to feed Joe, insisting he needs more home cooked meals. Joe would try to steer the conversation back to Hurley’s lottery win, but Carmen’s too busy telling embarrassing stories about Hurley.
Sixty one is doctor Pierre Chang. That’s the guy from the Dharma videos. Sixty Carl Martin. He’s a character that got tortured by the others. Fifty nine is Danny Pickett.
Pickett would go on unhinged rant about how grilling was the only thing keeping him from losing it on the island. You think I tortured people for fun, Joe. Now it’s just stressed from never getting the damn grill hot enough. Fifty eight George Minkowski. This is one of the actors that was on Succession.
The entire episode would be Rogan asking did you watch Succession? Over and over while George tries to explain he’s not actually in the show. Van Matthew abinon, same joke, but have you seen the wire? Fifty six Cindy Chandler, She’s one of the flight attendants. Rogan would ask to do the others get tsa pre check?
Or what fifty five is Lenin? Joe would peg Lennon as the kind of guy who could handle some potent edibles. Big mistake. Lenin would get way too high, turning the conversation into a paranoid miss rambling about dormous secrets and human sacrifice. Fifty four is Son.
Son would ignore all of Joe’s questions about survival in island life, instead launching into a passionate rant about the superiority of Korean’s skincare. Fifty three is Rose. After Rose reveals are cancer returned after leaving the island, Rogan would suggest micro dosing shrooms, grounding, and of course, buying a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Roseanont politely clearly unimpressed.
All right, we have fifty two more to go, so this will come back someday as we…
But let’s move on. Stephen Rogers is taping his special today. I was checking out his comedy. He’s got some Mark Norman in it. Stephen Rogers is a Syracuse race comedian based in New York City who’s been making others laugh for most of his life.
He’s teaming with Nate Bergatsey’s Nate Land Entertainment to produce the new special, taping tonight at the Comedy Fort in Fort Collins, Colorado. Steven’s clever, rapid fire material, full of observations about his life and the world around him, has led to him appearing on The Late Show with Colbert Cordon and Dryboor Comedy. WPR was curious about Eugene Merman’s comedy festival. What’s the deal with that? Eugene said, I did a weekly show in Brooklyn with my friend Julie Smith Klem.
There was also an event that made me joke with her and Mike Berri Bigley at the time that I was going to do a Eugene Merman comedy festival and how I wouldn’t do that because I was not a known comic. It was particularly Lucris to suggests, but I thought we should do it because it would be silly. He was really fun. So at some point we decided to do a second one, and then that grew in doing a decade at these very silly shows. Veronica Slowakowska is one of vulturous comedians.
You should and will know what comedian’s career trajectory would you like to follow? She said, maybe Adam Sandler a terrible chow actually a great choice. I mean, Adam’s rich, he doesn’t care. Do you want the money? Do you want people to go?
Well, that was a good body of work. Take the money, doing a bit of everything and doing it with your friends and family seems awesome to me. You know, she is right. And Donald Glover’s the funny shows, the serious ones, the music, very cool wor Showever, I was booked on a magic show like where magicians do magic and I’m the comedy act in between. So I thought, okay, easy, breezy, everyone needs a laugh.
Turns out these magicians were so amazing, was mind blowing and be funny. What was my turn to do some alt comedy, following amazing magicians who were hilarious, charming, and also hot. I hate it, so now I do magic in every one of my sets. Her joke writing process. When an idea comes, no matter where I am or what I’m doing, I write it down.
You think you’ll remember it, but you won’t.
Also having stuff planned but still being able to riff and play it.
There’s a sweet spot between being prepared and following your gut best comedy device, worst comedy advice. Best the audience is as smart as you, so what would you want to see? Worst the audience is a baby and you have to teach it everything. And that is your comedy news for today. If you like this program without commercials, there’s a link in the show notes to tell you how that works.
