Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I think Jim Gaffigan actually won the Grammy’s Ny for Gietzi. He’s got a super Bowl commercial, and of course Inny Schumer wants us to talk about her. Let’s start with the Grammys.
You may have heard there was a rather big basketball trade over the weekend that led to this joke. During the break. I don’t know how to say this. Trevor Noah was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. So I know this is a shock, but I am now your host.
Really great stuff from Jim. I’ll circle back to Jim in a second line of the night. I’m going to give to the John Westlang from Threads who wrote congratulations to FX as the bear for their Grammy win for Best Comedy Album. Best Comedy Album actually went to Dave Chappelle. I’m really impressed three in a row.
First of all, you have to put out three albums three years in a row to even win, so that speaks to the quality of the work that Dave’s been putting out. I haven’t seen the reaction pieces yet, I guarantee either coming about Dave and punching down and on the transgender topic again. I have no doubt those are coming later in the week, but for now, he’s the Tom Brady of comedy. Three straight Grammys for Best Comedy Album. Nobody’s gonna do that anytime soon.
Nikki Glaser was on the red carpet. She says she is not signed to host the Golden Globes. I will take Nicki herself over the reporting, and I’ve been a part of that reporting in the past, but let’s hear it straight from Nikki Glaser. You know what, it felt so good because the goal going in was you know, I made like a mission statement before I began preparing, I was like, Okay, what I want to do is I want to be funny, but I want when I watch a ward show, I just want to feel like I’m in good hands. I want to watch someone go.
I want her to watch. I wanted to leave that Award show and have people go. I want her to host more things that was comfortable to watch. I wasn’t nervous for her, and that’s what it came away with. All the reviews were like, she looked like she was in the pocket.
She we like her to host more things. I was like, oh yeah, cheat my goal. I just wanted people to have a fun time and not feel like I was going after anyone, but like having some fun, like I thought, I really. I worked hard to hit that tone, and I felt I succeeded. I keep seeing headlines that are like, She’s got a deal to do three more.
I haven’t heard about this yet, but I think I think it would be I think I like them as much as they like me, and I would like to keep this relationship going because I had a blast doing it. It was hard work, but it was the best job I’ve ever had. I’m ready to come back and host the Golden Globes again. It was truly the most fun night I’ve had in so long. And I didn’t have a Christmas because of it, but I don’t need a Christmas.
Nikki also talked about Taylor Swift. I forget that I hosted the Golden Globes. I’m just here as like, am I allowed to be here? I’m a comedian. You feel like, if you’re not a musician, you’ve kind of feel like what am I doing?
Even though I was nominated for a Grammy this year, I still feel a little bit like out of my element, like a snuck in. I’m just trying to fit in. But yes, I feel good. Okay. Want to ask you how much did you really spend on those Taylor Swift shows?
I mean, I’m gonna say probably what, cause I would fly my friends in, I would put them up, I’d pay for their tickets, I’d buy them merch So I would say seventy to one hundred, like it was a lot. But I again, I just want to remind people. I don’t have kids, I don’t have a house. I don’t have a nice car. I don’t buy handbags.
I wear a Lulu Umon fanny pack. Like I spend my money on experiences, and that’s the number one thing to me. Does Taylor know this? Does she acknowledge your like fandom? No, but I think she’s probably a little bit like Yike’s lady, you know, like I know, come on, I mean, I’m sure she’s she loves her fans, so I’m sure she’s like that’s cool, But I don’t.
I’m not waiting for anything from her, like I truly am. Like I come at it from like I just am a fan. I like watching her perform I’m not trying to angle for any like. I wonder if she’ll give me a letter or something, you know, right, I just I like, I like to sit back and watch her shine. Taylor did not make any jokes about Joe Koy, which is a shame.
Back to gaff again, Jim was on the Red carpet and this is pretty painfully unfunny. It never gets old. But I like to thank a time Grammy loser. Yeah, you know, no, I am so thrilled to be nominated, but I uh, it’s yeah, it’s weird. I don’t have an expectation of winning.
But that’s also you know, that’s the better vibe to carry into the event. I’m so excited to be here, and I’m dressed like a Batman villain, so that’s all you need to do. Your category step too with your friends. Oh absolutely, and people are having incredible years and there’s legends, so it’s it’s it’s really just cool to be included. Well, for the record, villains usually do dress better than the hero, so that’s right.
That yes, so maybe maybe since I’m dressed like a villain, maybe I’ll win, you know, I like that, I’ll steal it be weird. It’ll be another thing to get used to winning, because I’ve never really I mean, i’ve won, you know what I mean at being nominated. We’re going to change the telepromver so fast in the event that you win. If I win. Yeah, now I’ll do it where I won.
I can’t believe I won. What does this mean to you? It was so great and I feel like, you know, I’m just so humbled by all of it.
And now we’ll do it where I have to split it with someone.
Okay, where we splitting it with Nikki Trevor. I think it’s Nicky all right here, We’re gonna do it where. I’m like, I’m so happy for Nicky Nikki one. And you know, I’m so happy also for Trevor for winning because he you know, he’s been part of the Grammys, and I think he was great tonight. I’m so happy for Ricky, you know what I mean.
It’s like, it’s good that he’s being acknowledged. And I’m and I’m thrilled for Dave because finally he’s he’s winning something. I mean, he hasn’t ever lost, but I’m so happy that Dave Chappelle, a legend, is here to take every single award from every comedian. Aprigetzi will start in a super Bowl ad for door Dash. Now what’s interesting is usually they released the Super Bowl commercials early.
They didn’t release the commercial, they released a teaser for the commerce. So let’s listen when. We say five dollars on that takeout order, five dollars saved on my. Six hours and savings all crucial order. That to consider Corofesion starters.
Equals that’s a fifteen that I trimmed a little bit. The ad during the super Bowl will be a thirty. Nate told Variety, I used DoorDash regularly. I used it two nights ago. I’m only not using it right now because I’m in a hotel, and then I’ll be back at it.
DoorDash approached him after hearing Nate joke about DoorDash during his most recent SNL appearance. Of producing commercials, Nate says, it’s like, you know, making a mini movie. There’s not a live audience or anything, but it was all still enjoyable. I’m in trouble if I ever go to something that’s not going to be fun. He had hoped to keep his super Bowl project quiet.
He debated whether or not he should tell his parents. He did. He’s now excited for more people to see him, he said, not a lot of people. It’s gonna be a big, big surprise that it’s happening, and I can’t wait to see what people think. John Stewart lost a bet and he had to go to the next game.
At Madison Square Garden. Decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, John was booed by the Nicks. Faithful John had a bet against Nick star Jalen Brunson. They had bet on the Eagles Giants game and the Giants lost. John had to pay up in a Saquon Barkley Jersey.
Saquon used to play for the Giants, now plays for the Eagles. Jalen came over to compliment John’s fit.
Also at the Knixt game, Amy Schumer, who wants us to talk about her.
She’s got a movie coming out Wednesday, and boy, Amy, for the amount of press you’ve been doing, for the amount of stories’s been sharing, this movie better be good. Because if it’s not good and you’ve used your entire arsenal promoting it, I don’t know where that leaves you. You know, During halftime at the Knicks Lakers game, the Knick City Dancers invited Amy to the court. The cheerleading squad called out Amy, who pretended to be shocked at the gesture and then flawlessly executed a dance to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. She was recreating an iconic scene from her film train Wreck, which came out ten years ago.
The coordinated number featured Amy Schumer front and center. The dance ended with a group pos Amy blue kisses to the crowd. The crowd included Lebron James of the Lakers, who was also in train Wreck. She also was given the title Rookie of the Year. In a feature on the Nick City Dancers Instagram, Olivia Munn went on Amy’s instat and wrote, this is iconic.
Chelsea Handler added yes, Katie Couric, who was at MA, she wrote, so glad I was there to witness this go Amy. Amy has revealed that she called Kim Kardashian to get permission for a joke that’s in the new movie. Amy was on a satellite radio program and said, I want to make the show where I’m reading a kid instead of a bedtime story at Tabloid. I pitched Kim a couple jokes. I asked if she would mind.
She didn’t mind. How cool is she? Spoilers in case you’re excited about Amy’s upcoming movie. There once was a family of beautiful princesses called the Kardashians, and they lived in a palace that their dad bought them by defending a murderer. According to Amy, Kim had no issue with the joke about her father, Robert Kardashian.
Amy said, She’s like, yeah, I do the one about my dad defending a murderer. She was that chill. She’s such a good sport kind of pregnant. Out tomorrow. Are you excited?
Yeah? So you need something to watch tonight. Good news Hulu has acquired the rights to Stavros Haukias’s Let’s Start a Cult. That was the Indie Dirk comedy co written and executive produced and storing Stavros. It is out on Hulu now.
Pete Davidson has revealed how many tattoos out of his two hundred he will keep. Pete told Jimmy Fallon, maybe like two or three. Pete told Felon that he probably had like two hundred tattoos, most of which are almost gone. Now I’ve been burning them off. They burn off the layer of your skin.
Then it has to heal for six to eight weeks. You can’t get in the sunlight, and then you’ve got to do it like twelve more times. Fallon was curious why he had gotten so many tattoos. Pete said, I don’t know. Everybody was getting tattoos like five years ago.
Remember that Fox Business reported on Matt Rife digging the Rhode Island suburbs. Raife said, there were three things on my checklist. I wanted to get what I was actually paying for. There was a massive place that was probably the same price as a two bedroom with no yard in La I needed to have some kind of comedy scene, and Providence has the comedy connection out there. Great Club Boston’s forty five minutes away, an amazing comedy scene and convenient for travel.
Providence is like my Burdbank Airport in Boston is like my lax. How did he find Rhode Island? You know what I mean? He said, I was performing on Vehican Son five shows something like that. Mohegan Sun is a casino in Connecticut.
If you’re not familiar with Mohican Sun. Thus northeasterns or mohegan Sun was an hour away and we were on I don’t know Zillo and I was like, oh, I’ll peep this real quick, and we went and checked it out, and I was like, this costs like one show at mohegan Son. Awesome. Fox Business reports Rife’s comedy tour grossed more than most of the biggest names in comedy last year, topping everybody but Nate. Nate’s tour reportedly had a net gross of eighty two point two million dollars last year, selling over one million tickets.
According to Billboard, rif’s two hundred and fifty six shows sold seven hundred and thirty three thousand or so tickets, grossing fifty seven and a half million dollars. Always good to hear from the listeners. I heard from andres who reacted to my commentary over the weekend where I explained I’m a slider. In case you missed it, at some point, I’m from a different universe. At some point I made the jump from where I’m from to this universe where you guys spell the names of certain celebrities differently.
Where I’m from. The guy from Flight of the Concords is named Jermaine Clement with an R Andres roade, Hey, man, I heard what you said about Jermaine. I’m not sure if it was specifically spelled with a J or could have been a G, but definitely had an R. On Flight of the Concords. Thank you.
Andres is currently where I’m from. A new book called Fight Inside the Wildless Battle for the White House claims that Elon Musk and Dana White convinced Joe Rogan not to interview Kamala Harris. The book claims Harris’s team wanted to do Rogan and was willing to accommodate Rogan. Rogan’s team had insisted on doing the interview at Rogan’s studio. The only time Rogan has traveled for a guest was in twenty nineteen to speak with whistleblower Edward Snowden.
According to the book, given Rogan’s demands, the Harris team rearranged her schedule to do a campaign event in Texas. As the story goes, Harris’s deputy campaign manager told Rogan, we could do Friday, the twenty fifth. One of Rogan’s reps said, which we had known about the sooner because he has the twenty fifth, blocked out as a personal day campaign person. What about Saturday morning? Rogan’s team only if it’s before eight thirty am, campaign manager, the Vice president of the United States is offering to come to your effing show, and you keep putting up more hoops.
The Harris team continue to try and make it work. Then Rogan was like, nah, never mind. On October twenty fifth, the day that Rogan had the personal day, Trump was in Austin. Who appear on Rogan’s podcast. I guess that makes sense that you can’t tell the Harris campaign that Trump is coming the day that you want to do it, So that all makes sense to me.
Fun story regardless of that, is your comedy news for today. If you are finding the program on the new YouTube, a twenty four to seven stream, what I’ve done is I’ve created just an audio channel that plays, say, like the last two weeks of this program on a loop. If you’re finding this program this way, there’s no video. I know you figure that out by now, but like people get mad and they’re like, oh, oh, there’s no video Because there’s no video. It’s an audio podcast that I stuck up on YouTube.
But I appreciate you sampling the show, and it does come out in audio form seven days a week at three oh five am Eastern Time. If you want to follow in a podcast app. See you tomorrow,
