Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News’s got some more information about sen Gillis’s sixty second Super Bowl ad for bud Light. The campaign will introduce the big men of cul de Sacs. Some of the big men are Beton Manning, Post Malone, and Sheen Gillis. These are regular folks who enjoy grilling in the backyard and talking in the driveway.
The ad will air during the Super Bowl at pays tribute to those neighborhood parties that are happening across every backyard every culd de sac in America. A bud Light spokesperson says, we hope our fans can see themselves in this. I have a clip for you. I have to cut it short because the ad uses the Huey Lewis song Power of Love, and if I let that play through, I’m gonna get flagged by the people that flag things. So let me just play a little bit of Shane here at the top.
You wanna go fishing the one? I got a cole and ask me tomorrow. Pete Davidson will also be in a Super Bowl ad, this for something called hex Clad. In the ad Gordon Ramsey is tasked with having to prepare a meal for a newly discovered alien species at Area fifty one. The twist spoilers the alien is actually Pete Davidson playing himself.
Pete Davidson jokes all famous people are aliens. I see what the company says about the Pete cameo. We had a small list and Gordon was the one who was like, I want Pete Davidson. It wasn’t a hard sell. Pete was a gem.
And the two of them on the set, I mean the only time there was a second take is when they were cracking each other up. There was great chemistry. Amy Schumer wants us to talk about her. She’s got this movie. What is it, uh, something pregnant?
I could just look it up and make an edit here. What is called kind of Pregnant? I think it’s out on Wednesday. You can tell I’m excited about it. Amy went on Howard Stern because she thinks it’s nineteen eighty five and that’s a good way to promote things.
She said. According to Amy, her porn Teacher’s Sketch from the October tenth, twenty fifteen episode of Saturday Night Live is SNL’s most viewed video on YouTube. Amy said, can you believe that the most viewed SNL sketch of all time is me and Kyle Mooney the porn teacher. I want to bring it back for the fiftieth where I’m like a reeltar or something. I was shocked to hear that, and then you’re like, of course, everybody’s a pervert.
Howard asked who wrote the sketch. Amy said, oh, some pervert. You know, we just did it, thought nothing of it. It’s like one hundred something million. It has more than cow Bell.
You know, the most classic people really are perverts. A couple comments here, I’m not claiming I know everything. I have no idea what this sketch even is. I’m sure people are watching it on YouTube, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. And she’s comparing it to the cow Bell sketch, which I absolutely know and probably use the phrase more cow Bell four times a week.
So sure, maybe it’s got views. Plenty of things on YouTube of views, but this is not an iconic sketch. And Amy, if you think Lorne Michaels has time for you, a non SNL cast member at this big fiftieth anniversary thing where he’s got to squeeze in a lot of people and a lot of people that are more famous than you. Good luck. Reps for Saturday Night Live did not respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for clarification on which writer wrote the sketch.
Writers for season forty two included Chris Kelly, Sarah Schneider, Brian Tucker, and Ken Sublette. Other staff members at the time include Michael Ja, Colin Jost, Julio Taurus, and Sudie Green. According to Entertainment Weekly, more cal Bell has only twenty eight million views on YouTube, whereas porn Teacher has one hundred and six million. However, e W says these counts don’t reflect takedowns and re uploads by SNL. More cal Bell was only uploaded five years ago, despite being a twenty year old sketch.
In case you’re curious, second Place is a Black Jeopardy sketch from twenty sixteen featuring Ssher Zamaa, Leslie Jones, Keenan Thompson, and Tom Hanks. Amy also said she often gets a mistake in my fans for Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy and she doesn’t correct them. Amy says people come up to me and even though one hundred percent of the time they’re sure that I’m Melissa McCarthy or Rebel Wilson, I don’t correct them. I just go, Yeah, Bride’s may totally change my life. I should be so lucky.
Those are beautiful women. Oh, we’re gonna talk about Amy every single day. Jimmy Kimmel was at the fire Aid concert the other night. He took the stage late in the show and said, Hi, I’m Olivia Rodrigo. He then thanked the Benefits organizers and introduced Lady Gaga, who is the evening’s final performer.
Ronny Chieng was celebrating Lunar New Year. He told Forbes, the real tradition is centered around meeting up with your family. That’s the core. Everything else stems from that. You’re braving rush hour traffic to get back home.
Once you get there, you’re supposed to have a dinner. There’s gifts exchange and stuff you’re supposed to say, but that all comes from getting family together. Forbes was curious what sort of things one shouts out. Ronnie said, for context, I guess the most auspicious things Americans might say, would be happy New Year or Merry Christmas. For the lunar New Year, we consolidate all of our well wishes for the year.
And it’s connected to tossing the salad. That’s not a euphemism. There’s an actual salad that gets tossed. Okay, move on, good health, prosperity. There are Chinese idioms you’re supposed to shout out.
If somebody said they were doing a business deal, we would say, hope that you kill it. Tonni Mack. You sure about the salad toss? Ronny Chieng explained, we would always have roast pork and roast chicken, noodles, rice and vegetables and snacks, apple tarts. You’ll see mandarin oranges, sunflower seeds, and peanuts.
By the way, sometimes people ask me, like, what do you talk about on this podcast? This and their arranged in these very pretty containers and lots of red. You also have to give red packets with money. If you’re married, you have to do it. If you’re not married, you kind of don’t have to do it, which is nice.
It’s always the older people to give it to the younger people. Ronnie’s not sure how much money he got when he was younger, because in true Chinese fashion, anything we got, we gave it to my mother, so I don’t know how much I ever collected. Ronnie was there plugging some scotch, and thus the thinly disguised paid content asked Ronnie who he would like to have a scotch with. His answer, Bill Burr. He’s an executive producer of my latest comedy special Left to Hate It.
He’s the best, always very supportive and entertaining. TMZ had an update on the death of comedian Ken Flores, who passed away Wednesday at age twenty eight. Ken had been dealing with heart issues, according to the report, and been actively trying to get healthy before he died. TMZ reports Ken had been suffering from congestion of heart failure. TMZ further reports that Ken had been using oxygen and oxygen tanks were found at the residence.
One of Ken’s friends found him in his home after can’t experience cardiac arrest, called nine one one, performed CPR on him. Paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Sources tell TMZ no drugs are found, no foul play is suspected. Mark Marin is playing in Monterey tonight if you want to go, He’s at the Golden State Theater.
He caught up with Monterey County Now and said, I’m a conversationalist, not an interviewer. I never prepare a list of questions asked my guests. In fact, I don’t really do much prep at all. I just looked for a way to kind of zone in on some way that will result in an intimate conversation. I try to make an audio portrait of somebody.
As for podcasting, Mark said, I was there at the very beginning, that’s all. It was pretty good cosmic timing and help with podcasting on the map. None of us, myself included, anticipated this level of success. It was a complete surprise. Early on Robin Williams and some other big stars came on and were being open like never before.
It was and still is just about having intimate, candid conversations about artists and stars and the processes meant to emotionally and artistically. Maren credits Sam Kinnison with helping Mark solidify his approach. According to Mark, however wrong minded Sam was in some ways, in other ways, he helped me learn about performing comedy outside the standard envelope, doing something about his delivery. Way beyond all the screaming. He had like a preacher like intensity that I liked a lot.
He had a special kind of darkness. People’s ideas about stand up are too narrow. The only responsibility there is to get laughs. However, you can do it. I dare you to tell me I’m not still a stand up comedian.
