Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’m gonna go slow here because I don’t want to be accused of something that’s not true. So let me ask you a question before I get to story number one. Who do you think the Comedian of the Year is?
Right? Who do you think the Comedian of the Year is? Think about that. I want to tell you something else and then we’ll do the story. I got to figure out when I’m taping my Best Specials of the Year list, I definitely want to wait to the other side of Jamie Fox.
Then next Tuesday, Ronny Chieng has the Netflix special and I really liked Ronnie’s previous work. But on the other hand, candidly, Johnny Max look at it, pre tape a couple things for Christmas week, you know what I’m saying. So I don’t want to wait too long. You know, I can’t record it on December thirty first at eleven pm, so I’m definitely not going to include Michelle Buttoe’s Near’s Eve show and I probably will record this before Nateperghatzy comes out on the twenty fourth, and before the Jeff Ross end of the Year roast thing on the twenty seventh, so you know at some point I’m cutting it off early. Anyway, maybe I’ll get on the other side of Fox and recorded.
Okay, I’ve babbled enough, So did you think about it? Who do you think the Comedian of the Year is? Consequence of Sound picked Nikki Glaser. Not an absurd pick, but I don’t think it’s the right pick. Consequence says this year alone, the All Star Comedian dropped the gutbusting and wonderfully Morbid and Grammy and Emmy nominated stand up special Someday You’ll Die.
Did anybody care about that one? I haven’t met anyone who’s cared about that one. I’m not saying she’s bad because she crushed at the Roast of tom Brady. She won the night at the Roast of tom Brady, which is why she had a great year. But that same week, like three four days later, maybe a week later, Someday You’ll Die came out on Max and came and went.
I don’t think anyone cared. Nikki also hosted the reality series Lovers and Liars. She’s been on Thursday Night Football with late Hits, which is either invisible or terrible. Most people haven’t encountered it. I watch Thursday Night Football.
I’ve yet to actually see her do it, but I’ve seen the clips, and the clips were terrible. We got to make this quick so we can get back to what the fans are really here for, more wicked commercials. It is great to be. Here in Philadelphia, a city that feels the way batteries taste. It’s the city where Rocky ran up the most famous steps of the Museum of Art but never went inside to learn anything.
Tonight we had a face off between Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s older brothers old team and the Commanders. The Commanders a name everyone loves and a logo that offends no one except, of course, graphic designers. In a few weeks she will host the Golden Globe Awards, which are in twenty twenty five. So that doesn’t really help you be Comedian of the Year. And of course she talked a lot about Taylor Swift.
She told Consequence of Sound, I was just having a conversation with somebody about being successful, and like, how did you get to this place? And I’m like, I just agree to things I didn’t think I could do and then I couldn’t back out of them. That’s funny. I attributed to having this burst of confidence for yourself months so you go, oh yeah, I can do that, and then you deeply regret it the entire time until you do. It happens almost every time where I have this massive panic that I’m going to be the worst ever and I’m certain of it.
There’s no telling me, Nikki. This happens every time. No, this time is different. This is really bad. Wait, I just put something together.
She’s a big Taylor Swift fan. Will she make a joke about Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes Because you remember one time Joe Coy made a joke about Taylor Swift. Do I need to play it for you? No, you probably remember it. Will she joke about Taylor Swift?
Will Taylor Swift give her the ice look of death and ruin her career? That would be terrible. Maybe Nikki Glaser shouldn’t host the Golden Globes. Don’t make a joke about Taylor Swift. Taylor doesn’t like those jokes.
Nikki Glaser tells Consequences of sound the way to be the best comedian that I want to be is to be the most authentic and the most unfiltered. I’d say that I’m even more true to myself and the things I think got stage because no one’s there to tell me Nikki stop. So okay, go ahead send your notes in Johnny mack Hate’s women Comedian’s been there, done that, heard it. When I ask you who the comedian of the year is, who do you think of? Did you think of?
Nikki Glaser? Okay, it’s not an absurd choice, not at all. It is not an absurd choice. I don’t think it’s the right choice. Here are some people I wrote down and I didn’t really think about this long.
This is like who popped in a mind? Because the comedian year should be somebody that pops in the mine, right. I could make a case for Joe Rogan. There’s an entire political party saying Joe Rogan won the election for the guy that won, so that alone, Joe Rogan top Podcast, Joe Rogan had a good year, Joe Rogan had a special Joe Rogan had a good year. I’m not picking Joe Rogan.
I could make a case for Tony Hinchcliff. Some people thought Tony Hinchcliff had cost Trump the entire election. Didn’t turn out to be true. Kill. Tony is a force in comedy.
I know a lot of people are hating on it lately. I like the show. Tony Hinchcliff also crushed at the Tom Brady Roast and apparently Tony Hinchcliff wrote a lot of the jokes for some other people that were on that roast. I could make a case Tony Hinchcliff is the comedian of the Year. Not picking him John m’laney in the mix, not picking him.
Jim Gaffigan and had a pretty good year. I didn’t like a special. He had his whiskey. He was on Saturday Night Live. Everybody talked about Jim took a step up in and I don’t know class isn’t right because he’s been at the top of the comedy game.
But more people than ever know who Jim Gaffigan is. Jim had a great year. You can make a case for Jim gaffigin Comedian of the Year My pick. Nate Bergatzy hosted Saturday Night Live for a second time, has a special coming out on the twenty fourth as a TV special with Lorne Michaels. He announced a book that’s twenty twenty five.
He announced a movie that’s twenty twenty five. To word, everybody likes him. Podcaster ny Bergazzy w’d be my pick. Today, Minnie Kayling and Marsh Chestnut will present the nominees for the eighty second Annual Golden Globes, which will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, who may or may not tell a joke about Taylor Swift. That’s really interesting.
Meanwhile, the Critics’ Choice Awards will air on e Sunday, January twelfth, with host Chelsea Handler. That’s a good choice for a host. The comedy nominees are Best Comedy Series Abbott, Elementary English Teacher Hacks. Nobody wants this, only murders in the building. Is somebody somewhere?
Saint Dennis, Medical, what we do in the shadows? I don’t feel like reading. The Best Actor in Best Aschrist Today, Outstanding Talk Series, Hot Ones, Daily Show, Graham Norton, Mulaney, Kelly Clarkson, Colbert, Best Comedy Special Okay, I’ll play along. Nominees are Ali Wong, Single Lady, Nope, Jim Gaffigan, The Skinny Definitely Nope. Kevin James, irregardless, definitely Nope.
Nikki Glaser Someday You’ll die. Best of the four? Okay, you’re paying attention, Johnny macfeel’s fair. That’s the best of the four. I’ve mentioned Rachel Bloom’s death.
Let me do my special on Netflix. Didn’t see it? Romy yousef more feelings. I think I disliked the direction on that. Can I tell you those are terrible nominees.
None of those six are on my end of the year list. You want me to pick from those six? Nikki Glaser, Someday You’ll die. Delete that email you sent me two minutes ago. Huh hah, huh, John You’re so sensitive.
I know I get mad when people accuse me of that. I have two daughters, guys. Conan O’Brien looked back on his interaction with Robin Williams. Conan told Eric Einol, I was lucky enough to have some great interactions with Robin Williams before he passed away. One of the most memorable examples to me is when I went through my whole time and I showed a buckle.
Finally the show’s done. I don’t fall have a career anymore. What am I gonna do next. I’m lying on the floor in the living room in my house. My phone rings.
Pick it up. It’s Robin Williams. I don’t even know how I got my phone number. Williams asked, how you holding up, Chief, and he said, you’re gonna be fine. You’re gonna be great.
Then Williams, who’s in a bicycling and you Conan liked to bike, sold him to go down to a bike shop in Santa Monica where Robin had a cruiser setup for him. Robin said, just sat on down there right around you’ll feel better. And I went down. It was a Colnago, which is a very nice bike, and he said, I told him to paint in these crazy Irish colors they get down there, and I mean it’s the ugliest. It was just greens and shamrocks and everything.
And he was like, you’re gonna like that bike, Chief, don’t worry about it. I think them many times. I just couldn’t believe he was thinking about me.
Meanwhile, on Conan’s podcast back in September, he welcomed Catherina, who’s…
During that conversation, Conan asked if he could be a guest vocalist in her metal band Cringe Blizzard. Conan has shared on social media that he did indeed go to Austria and sing with Cringe Blizzard. People speculate he was in Austria to film more episodes of Conan O’Brien must go. If you’re looking at your calendar for twenty twenty five and be like, I have absolutely nothing to do. I have no idea how I would possibly pass the time, Like, I just have absolutely no friends, nothing to watch on TV, no video games, no movies.
I want to see what am I gonna do? Well? Good news, Greg Guttfeld is touring his tour starts. Boy, that was a shot. Gutfeld’s tour starts March fifteenth.
Looks like he’s doing two shows a month on one weekend. I would look at it. So it’s like April twenty six, twenty seven, May seventeen, so in eighteenth they’ll wrap up. October fifth and Sugarland, Texas. Kevin Hart, he’s never afraid to work.
He’s got yet another gig. Are you flying Cutter Airways? Cutter Qatar? Some of you pronounced quitar. Those guys they’ve got an airline and the in flight video is going to be Kevin Hart.
How annoying is that going to be? Those videos are annoying enough. Imagine Kevin Hart doing Kevin Hart things. Kevin Hart said, buckle up. This safety video is onlike anything you’ve seen on board a luxury airliner before.
I’ve loved partnering with Qatar Airways to produce a video that passengers will not only pay attention to, but remember for a long time coming, or at least until their next flight. Good news. The film will be available in January, and I believe only January. Jenny Mack, you’ve been sassy since you got your voice back. I know I’m a little I’m a little sassy lately.
Yes, I admitted. Eli Times caught up with Bella Bajaria. Bella is the chief content. Bella is the chief Did you hear my voice crack? There?
I was gonna make an edit because you heard me do the pickup. I’m leaving it. I was like Peter Breedy there for a second. Chief content officer for Netflix, Bella said, audiences can feel and are pretty tuned when something does feel like it’s authentic. Our strategy has always been about we love comedy.
Our members love comedy, and we also know that they have lots of different tastes. It’s also to make sure that we have comedy in lots of different formats. We’re not just narrow like those hilarious guys. And so that’s why it ranges from series to film, the live to stand up all over the world. Jason kels he’s getting ready for his big, exciting January late night show on ESPN at one in the morning.
Keith Cossro is the vice president and head of Content in NFL Films, and Keith spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about Kelsey’s show. According to Kossro, Kelsey said, I want to have a live band with horns. It’s got to have a horn section. Kelsey was recently on Kimmel and said, I love late night shows. I’ve always loved them.
I remember it sleepovers watching Conan O’Brien with my friends. They call it Late Night with Jason Kelsey will originate from Philadelphia at Kelsey’s request. Ross Katsover is another senior executive NFL Films. It says, comedy is hard sports and comedy is hard. Us doing essentially a live studio show is something very new and exciting.
But Jason is just a force of nature, and we’re so excited to be in business with him. They call it Late Night with Jason Kelcey Friday, January third on ESPN, and I think, understanding how clocks work, I think by Friday, January third, they actually mean one am Saturday, January fourth. But I’ll fact check that and get back to you. I was making a fact checking a friend of the show, Jason Zinniman from The New York Times. He hit me up on threads responding to one of my comments, he said, let me find it.
I had threaded. We don’t have a date for Burr, Zinnman wrote me back March twenty twenty five. I don’t know why I thought Burr was the December one. What is the December one, Johnny Mac, I don’t know. The Hulu publicists don’t want you to know either.
That’s how you wind up on the pirate ship with Captain Hook watching it over at his place. You know. I don’t know why I’m puccy. I guess I’m feel better all right. See tomorrow
