Caloroga Shark Media. I’m going to cancel myself today. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Voices. Back Tony Hinchcliff. Remember him, He single handedly cost Donald Trump the election by telling a joke.
He has released a thirty seven minute set on Twitter. I’ve shared it in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. At the thirty four minute mark, he shares a joke that he decided not to tell at the rally. Let’s listen. Well, there’s these hurricanes that have been happening in Florida and it’s just terrible, you know.
So what I think we should do is, I think we should take all the good tax paying Americans when a hurricane is coming into their zone. He put them on flights, fly him somewhere safe like Springfield, Ohio. Take the migrants from Springfield, Ohio, and fly them into the path of the hurricane. Yeah. From what I’ve heard, it’s raining cats and dogs there.
So that’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a little something to wash it all down. I find the joke funny because I understand how jokes work. No one is actually eating cats or dogs. It doesn’t actually rain cats and dogs, and we’re not actually gonna put people on planes. It’s a joke.
That’s how jokes work, and that one’s funny. Larry David has reprised his role as George Steinberner. You may recall he played George Steinberner in several episodes of Seinfeld. Well, he’s now playing Steinberner in a commercial for Fanatics. Those are the guys that have basically ruined all the uniforms in Major League sports in my humble opinion.
Those guys they also own tops cards now, and they are promoting a set that includes a card that never was. It’s a nineteen eighty one Bowman card featuring NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, who was drafted by the Yankees. The spot’s called It’s gotta be Elway. We hear George Steinberner demanding at his executive’s draft John Elway, let’s listen to part of it, all right, mister stein Brainner. For our next pick, the team wants to go with Tony Gwynn, the basketball player.
I don’t think so, it’s gotta be Lway. I want him out in right field with that Canada and armed. Well, Sir Elway, is a great choice, but we prefer Tony Gwynn. He projects to be even better than Keith Hernandez Keith Ornandez. I don’t like that big mustache.
Well, we could really use his hitting at the top of our lineup. Nope, that’s alway. The sky’s the limit for that guy. I can see it all. The kid’s lining up for his baseball card, his name in lights at Yankee Stadium, his name on the side of a car dealership.
I’ve always told you about the importance of a good name. Well, Gwynn is a great name, sir. I mean Wrenn is actually in his name. Comascio mental ruth. It’s gotta be oh way, Oh, make the pick fantastic, sir.
No more time to chut. It’s Kyle’s old time. I didn’t find that one that funny. Sorry, love you, Larry Love signed not a funny commercial. The spot also features Stephen A.
Smith and John Elway as themselves. The Minnesota Star Tribune went to go see Russell Peters his tours called Relax. It’s not that serious. Good title. Russell Peters a seventy minute set.
The Star Trip says, when riffing with an audience, member with Malaysian roots. Russell Peters not only knew the country uses ringts as currency, but what it’s worth an American dollars. He asked a Native American couple bolt sporting long hair how much shampoo they go through at home? And he engaged with folks from Borneo, Guyana and Pakistan as if he were hosting a United Nations tea parties as the Star Tribune. But they add some of the materials sounded dangerously close to cheap insults, like when he explained how he landed his Filipino wife with a coupon and how he wants to launch an Indian dating app called Connect the Dots.
He joked with a Somali in the crowd, saying I’m the captain now. But they right. But Peters has been doing this long enough to avoid stepping over the line. His disarming smile and good natured delivery let him get away with jokes that might otherwise lead to a bar fight. He says, I don’t look at you like an ade I look at us like friends hanging out.
Isn’t that nice? Maybe comedy could be comedy again now, The Star Tribune points out opening act Adam Hunter practically dared the audience to gasp after one shocker. An audience member reminded Hunter that he was in Minnesota, but we’re told Hunter didn’t seem to care. On Gossip Corner, the US Sun stirring it up about Pete Davidson. They have two sources, one negative, one positive.
Source Number one said when buff Gus was set for season two and Pete suddenly backed out of it, people were furious with him. His team keeps trying to get him to go on social media, so he went on, but then he got back off. The guy’s really hard to work with. But then insider number two said, he gets movie and TV offers every week, but they’re not necessarily in lined with things he’s looking to do. He’s actually continuously getting offers, but he’s figuring out exactly what he wants.
He’s looking at some things for the spring, which hopefully will be announced in January. Is things going in the right direction, and he’s considering a bunch of different projects which will likely be confirmed sometime in the new year. An insider, perhaps a third insider, says Pete has a therapist in Florida who works on processing traumatic memories and dealing with pettsd Pete travels to see the therapist on a regular basis for treatment. But Pete is currently clean and in a good headspace. So a phrase I increasingly use his iage is many things can be true at once.
One I could see and I talked about this recently, where people don’t want to sign Pete Davidson up for a deal because they’re not sure that he’ll actually show up for work. Put that aside. Two, we can be kind and supportive of Pete Davidson and hope that he finds a good path. Put that aside. And point number three.
You know, everybody who works with the guy seems to love the guy. So he’s clearly not a jerky face. He’s clearly somebody who’s loved and he’s openly going through some struggles, and I personally hope he finds that good path. Oh, I forgot to share. I saw a funny thread.
I hope it didn’t scroll down. Is it still here? I’m just scrolling through people commenting on that horrible shooting of the CEO. Somebody commenting on Jimmy Fallon’s beverage in Take Rats. I lost it.
I wanted to credit the person. I’ll have to do it from memory. Somebody threaded that they opened up their Santa tracking app a little too early and they see Santa just walked into an adult bookstore in Saskatchewan. Good joke. I’m sorry I can’t credit you.
I am the Carlos Mencia of Comedy podcast John Marcos SERRESI a friend of the show. He tweeted, this is getting confusing. Can we just all go back to Twitter and call it Twitter? I can’t have X and blue sky and it’s too much. John Marco was on Twitter, sorry X, where one tweets After much overthinking, I’ve decided to record my first comedy special if you disregard the last one of February fourteenth and fifteenth at the Allegiant Theater.
That’s kind of cool. Netflix is in early development on a comedy feature starring John Cena and Eric Andre. Untitled film follows a famous real estate agent whose carefully curated world is upended when his eccentric little brother unexpectedly reappears. Bill Maher cut the crap here. He’s saying, you might quit HBO’s show Real Time because he’s crapping his pants over having to talk about very hostile Donald Trump on Bill Maher’s podcast guest Gene Fonda.
I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I called him a conman before anybody did. He’s a mafia boss. I was the one who said he wasn’t going to concede the election. I’ve done it.
I’ve seen this thing play out. All right, you walk away from that HBO show. Let me know when you do. By the way, just in case he’s right, I want to point out, like here at Daily Comedy News, we completely support the administration. Don’t cancel us.
The Vermont Comedy Festival is back baby tonight through the eighth. You’ll find it at Bridgewater’s Woolen Mill Comedy Club, which sounds like a nice place. Your headliner is Tim Meadows. The Vermont Comedy Festival is the brainchild of Matt and Colleen to comics who love Vermont as much as they love performing. Colleen Doyle says, a lot of what we do with the Vermont Comedy Festivals try to be ambassadors for the area where we do the festivals, not the largest metropolis in Vermont, which of course is you know that one.
It’s Burlington. I guess I don’t know Gotham City. I don’t know, but I say that I’m silly today, but I say it’s the most quintessential part of Vermont. If you’re in the Woodstock Killington area for a couple of days, people feel like they really they had Vermont experience. I had a terrific Vermont experience.
Was back in April for the total eclipse. I drove up to Burlington. The local tourism people hooked me up with some parking. I hang out overlooking the lake there, watch the sun get blotted out. Walked around Burlington downtown, old town.
I don’t know what you call it, but it’s very nice. I had a good time. Been trying to tell my wife we should go up there for a weekend. Really like the Burlington. The festival opens today with a one minute comedy battle that includes all performers, allowing audience members to see a snippet of everyone as performance times for longest sets do overlap.
Uh oh, it’s the kill tonyism of comedy. If festivals start doing one minute battles, the established comedians are gonna get so mad at this. Can you imagine telling Tim Meadows, hey, I need you to do a minute You could picture Tim Meadow’s face right, He’s made the face and a million S and L sketches. Oh my goodness. I’m supportive here, but comedians aren’t gonna like that, all right.
Tonight eight o’clock One Minute Stand Up Battle ten o’clock is the festival kickoff dance party, presented by Plymouth Cheese. I’ll give them a plug Tomorrow the main stage show and the late show and the late late show at eight ten and midnight, and a bunch of shows over the weekend. Let me go to the website real quick and see who’s at this thing. You know. I’m on the website and there’s a picture of Tim minnows and they don’t have outfront who else is performing.
I guess I could click through, but I was like, can’t be bothered, BUTU stuff on the website, guys. And it got really cold in the northeast. This would have been awesome, say November fifteenth, but right now a little cold up there. I feel like I’m bashing it. I support you, guys, I appreciate you doing this, but you know, I got a little personality sometimes.
