Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. John Mulaney’s talk show is back. It’s now called Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney. It’ll premiere in March twelfth at ten pm Eastern.
It will air weekly for twelve consecutive weeks. Mlanie said, we will be live globally with no delay. Will never be relevant, will never be your source for news. We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us with data that we will ignore.
Now, I forgot to check what day of the week March twelfth is. It is a Wednesday, so this will be your Wednesday night watch. But Johnny Mack is not up at ten pm, so this will be my Thursday evening watch. I am up at ten pm, but I’m not up at eleven pm, and I’m not starting a show at ten pm. That’s how I roll.
Plus Wednesday’s Trivia Night. And you know, I might have had a beverage or two. Maybe I’m a little sleepy. It happens, you know. By the way, second place this week, we’re having a great twenty twenty five.
We’ve got two seconds and a first and an eleventh. But we don’t talk about that. We also have a Hey guys, it’s cold and I don’t feel like going to the brewery tonight. We had one of those I digress. Just like the previous show, Everybody’s in LA.
Everybody’s Live, We’ll tape in Los Angeles. But I guess they changed the name to free themselves up of the geographic anchor. Everybody’s in LA will feature a couch of eclectic guests live your phone calls. Oh guys, he didn’t take my note? Was that segment just doesn’t work?
Richard Kind and same Oh the food delivery robot. Malaney says this will be the one place where you could see Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting next to Nicky Glazer sitting next to a family therapist, with music by Mannekin Pussy, which thankfully is an actual band. So I don’t have to explain to my wife why were you in the basement looking up Mannequin Pussy. Well, you see, honey, they’re an American punk and indie rock band from Philadelphia, formed in twenty ten. You may know them from their twenty sixteen album Romantic.
So I don’t know what you think I’m doing down here. I’m recording a comedy podcast. Laney continued, that’s just a brief sampling of guests. We don’t know if we can lock in Manneck and Pussy, but we’re into with them. I love this next line.
He said, this is a really fun experiment. Not since Harry and Megan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan. Ah, that’ll make for a good episode of Palace Intrigue. That’s the podcast about the Royal family that I’m the writer on, and it’s one of those shows you get commercial free if you do the ad free thing that you know you hear the two people talking about Maline. He talked about the previous version of the show and said, you know, we had a hypnotist, we had an expert on coyotes in Los Angeles.
We had a palm tree expert, we had an earthquake expert. We covered most all natural disasters that take place in California except for one. We just weren’t ready. Apparently that remark did play well in the room. Maline said, it’s one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I really needed to do.
I never wanted a host a talk show, and they were getting out of the talk show game. It was the perfect moment to do this. So twelve weeks it’s apparently gotten a two season commitment. No idea when the second season will happen, but you know, twelve weeks, starting in March, you’ll watch, Speaking of Los Angeles, Tonight is the Comedy Gives Back fundraiser Love the top of this line up here, pat oswalt Zach Galifanakis, Bob Odin, Kirk, Bryan post Sayin, Doug Benson’s on this, Dana gould Is on this, and a bunch of others. The show benefits the Comedy Gives Back Firefund, which helps comedians affected by fires in Los Angeles.
Terrible news from Netflix. Adam Sandler is going to be in another movie now hopefully here. Let me tell you about the movie and they’ll tell you what the hopefully is. It’s a Noah Bomback movie titled JA Kelly. The movie J Kelly features people like George Clooney, Stacy Keach, Greta Gerwig, Laura Dern, Eve Houston, who’s Bono’s daughter, Napple Baby, Emily Mortimer, and Adam Sandler.
Now, whatever you think of Adam Sandler, terrible comedic actor, but he’s not a Naple baby, and he is a good dramatic actor. Maybe he’s doing a dramatic role in Jay Kelly. Maybe perhaps possibly Adam Sandler is taking my advice. Adam, you go. I hope this is dramatic.
Amy Schumer wants us to talk about her. I’m not kidding. I know I’ve been doing that all week. She wants us to talk about her, to the point I already have stuff for sad and Sunday and maybe Monday about how much Amy Schumer wants us to talk about her. She was on the Tonight Show.
She’s out promoting this movie kind of Pregnant that’s coming out, and she wants us to talk about her. In today’s installment of Amy Schumer wants us to talk about she talked about and encounter with Bradley Cooper who says to Amy, hey, I turned fifty this year, and he says to me, Amy Schumer, you fifty, And apparently that rubbed Amy Schumer the wrong way, as she had just turned forty three. She spoke with Jimmy Fallon about fans who say hurtful things to you by accident when they’re asking for pictures. They’d be like, Hi, sorry, I know you just worked out and I’m like, no, I didn’t. I had some ramen and had a kick so I’m sweating where They’re like, I know you’re not wearing makeup, but I’m like, I’m wearing a lot of makeup.
Back to Bradley Cooper, Amy said, I tried to like recover because whatever, I’m forty three, but you know, I’m like, I will be fifty, she told Fallon. She ultimately replied, yeah, no, I’m not Bradley. You know I’m not, but thank you for thinking of me. Schumer said the question got to her because we all want to be hot. This is how bad people want to be hot.
People literally run. She made fun of joggers and peloton writers, saying they’re riding a bike to nowhere to the Wicked soundtrack. Amy Schumer has a movie coming out in February. Bow and Yang and Matt Rodgers are putting out a book. It’s called The Rules of Culture, Volume one, described as a manifesto on culture and a Guinness World Records book for queer people and straight girls who get it.
The book will feature over one hundred insightful, hilarious and utterly immutable rules that govern culture in its current fragmented states. Yang and Rogers said in a statement, I apparently they have joined and become one entity. They have joined the Borg resistance is futile. In their joint statement, they said culture is a shattered mirror on the floor. This is our attempt at gluing every shart of it back together, as we will prove in this book.
Culturists for you, culturists for us, culturists for everyone. Never sure how a joint statement works, but okay, whatever. Hey, if you’re up in the Massachusetts Arie, you might want to look out for Matt Rife. He’s been showing up at local clubs. A week ago or so, he showed up at Fall Rivers Belmont Club.
Then in Tuesday he showed up at the Society Coffee Bar for Whale City Comedy’s latest pop up show. Ashley Thatcher is the founder and director of Whale City Comedy, and she said they went crazy. I never heard of fifty person crowd be that loud. That’s the best part of the show for me. Apparently Rife is trying to get as much stage time as possible, so that’s why he’s coming to the South Coast.
Whale City Comedy’s mission is to grow the local comedy scene beyond big cities like Providence in Boston. Wal City’s known for its lineup of pop up shows and an annual five day comedy festival. Thatcher said, I really love to highlight great local businesses across the South Coast, so we can pop up anywhere, from a batique in Westport to a coffee shop in Somerset, to a brewery to an art gallery. It brings exposure to these places while also creating a fun event. MOA.
Mayer’s show mo is back very good show if he didn’t see season one. The Guardian writes how Moe has found himself becoming one of the most prominent Palestinian voices in the world. When they interviewed him, it was right when the peace agreement came out, and most said, I just got a flurry of text messages about it as I came to my computer. It’s literally teed up and ready to go. Presumably look as a Palestinian man, we’re very suspicious of deals like this.
I’m very hopeful that it’s honest and real and sincere, and that it will lead to real positive change. I just have a lot of skepticism. Whatever people are willing to literally say, Cee’s fire, it’s over no more. That’s always a positive thing. The worry I have is just like it’s been going on for quite some time.
I’ve seen this so many times. I just really want for it to all truly end and for Palestinians to have a real future there. The BBC has apologized to staff members who felt they were unable to raise complaints or concerns about Russell Brand’s behavior when he worked for the BBC. The BBC has published the findings of an internal review into Russell’s conduct when he worked at BBC Radio between two thousand and six and two thousand and eight. There had been a series of accusations made against Russell Brand back in twenty twenty three.
One complaint related to Russell Brand urinating into a cup during a show on BBC Radio two. The BBC acknowledged that had been registered formally at the time, but admitted it was quote not dealt with effect actively. Another part of the report concerned in an allegation that Russell Brand had exposed himself to a woman in the bathroom of the BBC LA office. The investigation asserted that the incident was fairly common knowledge in the LA office and was often joked about. The report says what is clear is that many BBC staff and freelancers, especially in more junior roles, found Russell Brand demanding and difficult at work with and his behavior extreme, but all felt that there was no point in complaining as they believed they would not be listened to, and rightly or wrongly, that Russell Brand is a high profile presenter had the sport of station management.
A couple comments here for me, A don’t know what happened. B absolutely not being dismissive of the complaints. See personally worked with Russell Brand once for twenty minutes. In those twenty minutes, he was extremely professional and extremely charming. Again, I want to be clear, I’m not being dismissive of the complaints.
D having been showbiz adjacent for some time, a person who was at the point in their fame that Russell Brand wants around the time of those complaints, people get away with stuff welcome to show business and not saying it’s right. I’m just telling you it happens. For example, say you’re hosting Saturday Night Live, are you allot of smoke in the theater because some people apparently smoke while hosting Saturday Night Live. I’m on a website here and I just looked up the Smoke Free Air Act of two thousand and two, which protects the health of New York City workers against the harmful effects of secondhand smoke by making virtually all workplaces smoke free. So, for example, say your job is you work the cameras at a late night live comedy variety show that takes place on Saturday nights.
Say you work on one of those, The New York State Clear Indoor Act of two thousand and four impose state restrictions on smoking indoors. These acts impact the following businesses and establishments all office buildings okay, all private offices okay, All food service establishments, all bars, membership associations, all areas of theaters.
Also bank shopping, wall, sports arenas, public transportation.
So let me ask you. Say you’re hosting Saturday Night Live and you feel like smoking on live national television inside a theater in New York City. What happens to you? I don’t know. Perhaps a large fine was sent, Perhaps somebody spent ten days in jail, and it just didn’t get reported.
I don’t know what happens, but I’m telling you, for the most part, you’re sitting there going, hey, should I tell so and so that they can’t smoke here in a theater in New York City during our live variety show on Saturday night. My experience, being show business jacent is going to be yes, let it go. What are you gonna do? So let me be clear. I don’t know what happened with mister brand, could have happened, didn’t happen.
Don’t want to dismiss the people, but when I read in a complaint from BBC that staffers found no point in complaining that, I absolutely believe that staffers would find no point in complaining. Ken Flora is a comedian who helped create the Latin XL comedy show, has passed away at age twenty eight. D L eight Times reports that Ken’s body was discovered at his home at Tuesday afternoon around two p TMZ cites law enforcement sources saying it appears Flora suffered cardiac arrest and no foul play is suspected.
