Caloroga Shark Media. Good one today. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Four or five stories, any one of which could have been the lead today. Let’s start with John Mulaney.
GQ did a major profile of John Ada is fantastic. I have shared it in the Facebook group which is Daily Comedy News podcast group. You might want to drop your browser into reader mode. Nudge, nudge, wink wink, say no more. Several sections of the article discuss Mullanie’s appearance, his suit wearing, and what goes into that.
One thing that spoke to me was they kept bringing back Mullanie’s appearance, how he turned to suits, etc. And I like this section. They’re right. Take away the suit, the haircut and all the other affects of a former altar boy, and perhaps more people would have noticed that Mullanie’s act was as drug soaked as a nineteen seventy Stone record. The very first track of his first comedy album was titled Blocking Out and Making Money.
Surely there was kind of a willful blindness at work. Mulaney says, I very much tried to tell everyone, GQ writes, But wasn’t he also trying to hide his darker tendencies. Didn’t he make a habit of telling us exactly how harmless he was, just in case our first impressions weren’t convincing enough. From the Comeback Kid album I’m So Open and Vulnerable, I look like a doll that you point out molestation on. On the New and Toown album, I look like I was just sitting in a room in a cheer eating saltines for like twenty eight years, Melini says, what I said is I look harmless.
Jim Gaffigan was at Stand Up for Heroes on Monday Night. The Hollywood Reporter asked him about his time on Saturday Night Live, which I don’t know, if you know it’s turning fifteen, we’re going to talk about it every day. Gaffigan said it wasn’t the expectation that May and I were going to continue on the entire time. He said he had to cancel some tour dates to make the weekly appearances work. He had also mentioned that on the David Spade podcast talk about in a second, it was such a cool thing.
So I don’t necessarily feel bad. I feel more gratitude that I had the opportunity to like swim in that pool with all those talented people. You can’t consider modern American comedy and not include SNL in the discourse. And it’s such a unique show the way it’s produced. So there’s something really fun but also ad inspiring about it.
As I mentioned, gaffigin is on the David Spade Dana Carvey podcast. If you find that episode seriously, he’s not on to like forty five minutes in. I know that show is super popular, and boy they’re making some money based on the amount of commercials I heard, but I don’t know that show’s a little misproduced. They get awesome guests because of who the hosts are, but in terms of what they handed every week gets misproduced. When you finally get to the Gaffigan part, Gaffigan said, Dana, were you secretly hoping like I was, like, oh, hopefully Tim Wallas would do something like to get some news.
I don’t want him to humiliate himself. He’ll, you know, be in some sketches, but they’re competing for attention, and I think at a different time him even playing Fortnite with AOC that would be newsworthy. But we live in such chaotic times. Chloe Feinneman making some news. She dropped a TikTok on Monday where she identified Elon Musk as the man who made her cry when Elon hosted SNL back in twenty twenty one.
The Hollywood Reporter saw the TikTok before Finneman deleted it. According to the reports, Fineman said, you know what, I’m gonna come out and say it long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry, and he’s the host that made someone cry. If you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude, guess what you made I Chloe Feyneman burst into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch. I was so excited. I came in.
I asked you if you had any questions, and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, it’s not funny. According to Fineman, Musk went through her script line by line and told her he didn’t laugh once. The sketch in question was the Icelandic talk show parody the ULI show that did actually air. Fyneman said, I actually had a really good time and I thought you were really funny in it, But you know, have a little manners here, sir. I suspect that might bubble up a little more in the next day or so.
Another thing that could have been a big story. Tony Hinchcliff clips now circulating of his kill Tony set. This is a little lengthy, but I will let it play, as we’ve all wanted to hear what Tony Hinchcliff thought about his very controversial set. If you don’t want to hear Tony hit skip, I don’t know five times because this is probably a minute and a half two minutes here, but I’ll let it run. I have clipped out two F bombs.
Other than that, here are the words of Tony Hinchcliff. Ladies and gentlemen. Last night, I gave a speech. I don’t know if you’ve heard about this. It was a speech about free speech, believe it or not, and I’m currently under attack.
I’m the news. I don’t know if you guys know this, but on my speech on free speech, I referenced Puerto Rico, which currently has a landfill problem in which all of their landfills are filled to the brim. I guess I’m the only person that knew about this. Unfortunately, and with that said, I just want to say that I’ve been I love Puerto Ricans. They’re very smart people.
They’re smart, they’re streets smart, and they’re smart enough to know when they’re being used as political fodder. And right now that is happening. And I apologize to absolutely nobody, not to the Puerto Ricans, not to the whites, not to the blacks, not to the Palestinians, not to the Jews, and not to my own mother, who I made fun of during the set. Nobody clipped that no headlines about me making fun of my own mother. Perhaps that venue at that time wasn’t the best place to do this set at.
But in any matter, to the mainstream media and to everybody trying to slander me online, that’s what I do. I go hard and that’s never going to change. Adrian Appaluci quietly dropped a Netflix special yesterday, directed by Louis c. K He’s not Canceled and produced by Ari Shafir. The Dark Queen is on Netflix.
Apple Ucci takes aim at our public figures, awkward tribute tattoos, virtual signaling, and more. Joe Mandy, fresh off winning an Emmy for writing on Hacks, is getting his own comedy special on Hulu. This is separate from the Huilarious thing. I haven’t dug deep here, but I know they did a deal with Comedy Dynamics, so I’m guessing it’s one of those. So this isn’t one of the big twelve eleven of which have been announced.
This is extra Hulu comedy. Hulu publicist, get back to me, man, I’m trying reached out to a bunch of you on LinkedIn. What did I do wrong? I’m nice. Joe Mandy special is called Chili.
It’ll be out December thirteenth on Hulu. Joe has another special called a Joe Mandy’s Award winning Comedy Special that was on Netflix in twenty seventeen. Rob Schneider is apparently frustrated by Arizona election results Timeline. Rob Schneider tweeted on November fourth, Dear Assistant County Manager Zach Sira, as a resident of the great state of Arizona, and more importantly, a United States citizen, now we go in caps here. Waiting days for the results of the election in Maricopa County is unacceptable.
He then switched back and forth between regular capitalization and caps. I will emphasize the caps parts with my voice. We are not some banana republic. We are the United States of America. I will do everything in my power to have election officials this next election cycle that can count all ballots by the end of the same day of voting.
And here’s the news item. Even if I have to run and become governor myself, oh please run for governor of Arizona. I have a podcast to do every day. I have two podcasts to do every day, the other one being the ballot podcast. Rob Schneider, Please, yes, you should run.
I agree. This is totally unacceptable. It’s going on in Arizona. And Rob Schneider for governor is the solution.
Meanwhile, a Samberg told a story about Amy Adams refusing to do a sketch mac…
Andy Samberg says, I’m not going to go in a great deal about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams that it was very dirty. It was basically like we were both really old and we were having a picnic old people couple and one of us get stung by a scorpion. Then I’m dying or something, and the one lamentum my deathbed is that we didn’t explore things more sexually in our life, and it’s this huge anthem about that. Samberg continues and says, Amy was like, that’s really funny. I can’t do that.
Little girls are so obsessed with enchanted right now. They’ll find this and it’ll be scoring for them. I just can’t mix that right now. They instead got Amy Adams on Hero Song, which is a digital short about a superhero who beats the hell out of a criminal. Samberg says, within five minutes, a mother and a little girl walked up, and the look on the little girl’s face upon seeing Amy Adams, I was like, Oh, she was so right, and it was very instructive for me.
It’s not something I even thought about in our line of work, you know what I mean, Like, she actually has an obligation and a responsibility to those kids, and she took it really seriously, and I remember being really impressed by that. I know you guys were like, hey, what should we get Johnny Mack for Christmas? Well, Adam Sandler’s Love You is now out on CD. Who this the audio version of that most recent special, which, hey, let me be fair, I actually liked. I’m openly not a fan of most Adam Sandler projects, although you know, lately last half decade, I’ve kind of liked four out of five.
I’m warming up to the Sandman, although most of his work is garbage, well discussed on this podcast. Go back. If you’re on an app, to type the word Sandler into your search engine and several episodes will come up. So I won’t go there today anyway. Adam Sandler, love you out on CD.
Oh, I don’t have a CD player. Let’s see what’s happening at the New York Comedy Festival. I won’t read all the shows. I’ll just do the names, you know. One of the shows, Still Screaming, celebrating the career and comedy of Gilbert Godfreed.
This at the venue at hard Rock at seven o’clock. The New York Comedy Festival says, join us for an unforgettable night of love and laughter as we honor the comedic genius of Gilbert Godfrey to the release of his long awaited vinyl album Still Screaming. The one of a kind event will feature never before seen outtakes from the award winning documentary Gilbert, followed by an entertaining panel discussion with moderator Frank Santo Padre. You know him as the co host of Gilbert’s Awesome Podcast, Guest Dana Godfried and filmmaker Neil Berkeley.
Also appearing David Tell, Susie Sman, and Judy Gold, Richard Kind and more.
Also a Q and A Session, a funny titled show at the Bellhouse at seven point thirty. Don’t stop. I’m about to jazz comedians perform their sets with live piano accompaniment, and a bunch of other shows with people who aren’t as famous as Gilbert Godfried. I’m looking at to tomorrow. Starts to get a little more famous starting tomorrow, as I continue to say, love the festival, great job.
New York City’s too big. It just doesn’t resonate. I prep the show every day and I’m typing New York Comedy Festival into Google and nothing comes up. It’s the City’s too big. Susie as he is Are, spoke to The Statesman about her current tour, the Remix Tour.
She’s taking some of her most popular routines and remixing them by finding angles. Gizard says, I do try to entertain myself so I keep it fresh and bubbly and moving things around. I hope audience members can go away with the idea that their mind was rested from everyday troubles and maybe they’ve learned a bit of history, a bit of this, a bit of that, and a bit of weird stuff about Henry the eighth. And that’s your comedy news for today. Don’t forget.
