Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. If you’re a relatively new listener. I don’t skip days. I do pre tape sometimes, but I don’t skip any days.
So there will be episodes all seven days this week and every week. Let’s start with a controversy always fun. Did you see Corey Holcomb called out Dave Chappelle for bombing. Here’s a long clip. It’s pretty lengthy, but I think the best way for you to experience this is to hear Corey himself.
I have made a few edits for language, but here’s Corey Holcom. Ah what whenever they say SKay, everybody guess what special guess Dave Chappelle. I’ll be like, oh damn, it’s gonna be hot. God, It’s for at least a howl hour, maybe two. I’m just keeping it real.
But he needs to understand you throwing your way around to much man, standing up there smoking with them irregular shirts. On bombing. All the time. Dave Chappelle is absolutely great in movies. Great.
I didn’t say good, I said great, not a professor them scenes where he was in the movies with Martin the. Chappelle’s show was so good and entertaining. The Chappelle’s Show, they were selling it in the barber shops. It’s a TV show. They was selling the TV show in the barber shops.
Give Dave Chappelle his flowers, but stand up, God day. This man has so much power because of what he’s done in movies and TV that he can go in any comedy club. They’re going to put him up because he’s Dave Schappelle. And I promise you, this man is about to do a say no to comedy speech for as long as he up there. It’s just nobody has the courage to say nothing because it’s Dave Chapelle.
But Dave Chappelle be bombing. Now. I’ve watched Dave Chappelle specials. Out of every five specials, two of them are good. Well that’s fun.
You know. I’ve seen Dave many times, and I think it depends on what Dave is doing. Sometimes you get thoughtful rambling Dave, who tends to be philosophical, and get some good jokes in there. Perhaps he’s just working out material when he’s doing that. And the other times you get Chappelle on point, using his best Fastball and he crushes, So, I mean, does Dave bomb Not every show is awesome?
So Corey is saying it in a particular way to make a point. It is not a ridiculous US. No should though. Here’s the one that would be coming to a bargain bin at your local Walmart. Do they still have those?
I guess it’ll just go somewhere on streaming. David Spade and Theo Vaughn are going to star in bus Boys, a buddy comedy that they co wrote and have self financed. Set in a border town in Arizona. The film follows David and Theo, two friends that think becoming waiters will solve all their problems. They’re wrong, and theel’s got a big following.
But this sounds like the kind of straight to DVD thing they used to make that doesn’t happen anymore. David Spate said, we’re looking forward to gracing everyone with this comedy that no one asked for. His word’s not mine. Bill Burr is also making a movie. Sources tell Deadline that Skydance Sports has closed a development deal with Bill Burr to write, direct, produce, and star in a film that will be called Born Losers.
This will be the first film project for Bill Burr’s company that I told you about. Uh, I don’t know. I taped a bunch of these recently. I don’t know. Did I say that on Sunday’s episode Saturday I care remember?
Anyway, recently Bill Burr had a new company called North Hill. This is the first project for North Hill. What is born Losers about? It’s a secret. Nice lineup at the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival in Vancouver next September in Stanley Park, which I’ve been to Vancouver and I’ve been to.
Stanley Park is a fantastic park. John Mulaney will headline Saturday Night. Boy. You know, I could make a case for me going to Vancouver. Here’s who else is doing the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival.
Brit Kreischer, Whitney Cummings, Berbiglia, Nick Kroll, Fred Ormison. You know it wouldn’t be nuts for a guy who hosts a daily comedy podcast. Do you find himself in Vancouver attending that thing? Hmm? I love Vancouver too.
Hmmm, I’m gonna think about that one. E W caught up with Guy Breinham, who looked back on his worst Hollywood Boss. He said he probably shouldn’t be telling this story, and then did Let’s see if we could figure out who he’s talking about here. Brenham said, So, he’s an actor whom I’d co starred with in a movie, and he also created a noteworthy prank show. Hm, who could he mean?
Now? Some people on the internet point out that Guy Braina worked with Aston Kutcher on the twenty eleven movie No Strings Attached, and then the year after that was a producer on twelve episodes of Punk, which was created by Kutcher. Hmm, Well, whoever he’s talking about? He says, he’s an actor who I had co starred with in a movie, and he also created a noteworthy prank show. But I just lost the best job I’d ever had in the industry, and I was desperate for money, and a friend of a friend recommended me to write for his prank show.
Hmm. And the guy who created it already kind of didn’t like me, but he was scared of me, and I value that he was one of the dumbest human beings that I’ve ever experienced. Guy said he boss had an idea for quote an amazing prank. The plan was to have a chalk artist draw a big chasm on the ground. Guy joke said, the boss probably didn’t know the word chasm.
How the prank would have worked, people would go indoors and pretend they felt an earthquake and then walk outside where the target of the prank would see the chalk Brainham said, and lass on them. And there’s nothing harder than having to not laugh in your boss’s face. Understanding if you laugh on their face, you won’t be able to pay your rent. But they’re saying the stupidest things imaginable. Olli reporter spoke to Veer to us about Losing It, his second stand up special for Netflix.
They were curious what he thinks of the representation of Indians and Western TV. Veer said, I’d love to see us more flawed, and I’d love to see us making horrible choices. I’d love to see us getting violent, and I’d love to see us dying more. I’d love to see us killing more, and I’d love to see us having more sex. I’d love to see us challenge the model minority perspective, the doctor, the diligent student, the it professional.
There are one point four billion of us who are flawed and making horrible choices and doing drugs and hooking up and having sex and falling in love. You don’t get to see a lot of that love. That answer, that’s a great answer. They were curious why has an Indian content broken out internationally in a way that say South Korean content has. Vier says, well, we’re busy.
We released six films a weekend. We have our own stuff going on, you know, so with all due respect, we’ll get to the global explosion when we have time. Right now, we’re making great movies for massive audience, and we’re very, very busy. They asked him about his infamous two India’s routine for your said, I think the hard lesson is maybe don’t use an open mic at the Kennedy Center to test out new material. But I think if you’re fortunate enough to have the kind of audience that I have globally the numbers that I have, you’re on a train ride, and one stop on the train ride is a massive public ass whooping.
Whether you’re quite or reckless, the train’s going to stop at that station at least once in your career. But the train keeps going. There are many happy stops on the way as well. I love this interview form. E W and A Gasteire recalled a story in which Will Ferrell violated Diddy’s close set protocols when Diddy rehearsed his musical performance for a nineteen ninety eight episode of Saturday Night Live and it’s old Las Culturistas.

Anybody’s still here? Are you still here? So? I have a story I was gonna tell you, but I gotta finish Anna’s story. You may recall seventeen minutes ago, before I started reading a list, Anna said, the closing the set for rehearsal was rare, and you could tell the five a holes.
In the six years that I was there, they’d be like, so what hoes the building? Everybody’s stay in your dressing rooms, which is applicable if you’re a presidential candidate. But apart from that, it’s my house, Didy. He demanded a totally close set. Anyway.
During the Thursday rehearsal, Will Ferrell was dressed as an SNL crew contributor named Ron as part of the opening bit, and decided to violate Diddy’s set protocols as a gag. Anna said they were like, wouldn’t it be funny if Ron just went in? And he did. He went on down the stairs and he wrched right in. I have the video from the control room where Sean Combs is wrapping and behind him Ron’s walking around looking really disoriented in character.
Oh, I got one more for you, and I can’t bump it because it’s tonight From Boston dot Com. They write a rabbi, two Jewish comedians at a TikTok personality walking a bar. No, it’s not the setup for a joke. It is a joke because we could all use the smile right now. It’s a comedy game show called That’s So jew Its.
She’ll be at Laugh Boston Tonight, hosted by Ethan Levine the description imagine Jeopardy just for Jews. Contestants compete during five rounds of sketches, triviaan music, with categories such as poorly described Jewish holidays and jew or not a Jew. One of those questions, for example, is the British Royal family Jewish. Ethan says, the other thing Jewish about them is that they hate their daughter in law. That sounds like a really fun show.
All right, that’s your comedy news for today. I know no one’s here. I know everybody punched out in the middle of that list. Hey, I don’t know. I wanted to know.
I needed to know who the jerk fasis were, and I think we have sussed them out. But I’m getting a note from the lawyers here. Pure parody. I was just kidding. I was just joking around.
See you tomorrow.
