Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Chohnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Honestly, Monday was a little light coming off the Super Bowl. You know a lot of people were at the game and then not really doing any business. On Monday, a couple things were announced, including Amy Puller announced a podcast.
I didn’t see anything from Kevin Hart. I’m surprised. I guess he was celebrating the Eagles victory. Tom Brady did take a shot at Kevin during the broadcast. During the blowout part, somebody mentioned Kevin Hart, and Brady said, Kevin Hart’s here.
How do the cameras find Kevin Hart? Making fun of Kevin Hart’s height. You may recall that Kevin Hart went after Tom Brady at the roast of Tom Brady. Kevin Burkhardt responded, well, depends on the day. I guess Brady then probably realized people were like, why is he going after Kevin Hart and said, Kevin, I love you.
You took somebody shots at me and Mayham coming right back at you. It was a little awkward. Nicky Glazer was there. I didn’t see any news about Nicky, but I saw mention that she was out and about I think Jim Gaffikin was there. Did I see Jim or was that just in a commercial?
But I thought I saw Jim there. Shane Gillis was hanging out with Zach Bryan, the musician, all weekend. They met Donald Trump. There’s a photo of that. No details about the meeting.
Zach and Shane did a surprise pop up concert Saturday night. They did a surprise show at the Saturn Bar in New Orleans. Zack announced the show on social media. A crowd immediately formed. No details on Shane set Zach Bryan, in case you’re curious, played his hits.
He also revealed on Instagram he’d dropped a song called Dear Miss if the Eagles won the Super Bowl. On social media, he had written if the Birds win the Bowl, dear misses out the next day see all in Nola, Shane Gillis and me might do a pop up and get rowdy somewhere. I love you guys. Let me see if that song came out. I’m on my phone here.
As of twelve sixteen pm on Monday, he has not released the song on Apple Music anyway. Pete Davidson was there hanging out with Miles Teller. He showed up wearing a gray long sleeved t shirt with Eagles writing on the front. Pete rolled up his sleeves and showed his nearly tattooless arms. Page six shared Boy That’s hard to say, a story about Pete Davidson’s commercial.
Apparently, he arrived at the set of the commercial early, shook hands and was a total pro. He had the crew cracking up the whole times as the insider, the relationship with Pete and Gordon Ramsey was great from the start, but warmed up even more once we started shooting and Pete cracks and jokes. It seemed like Pete was gaging how playfully could get with Gordon. In a statement, Pete Davidson said making a Super Bowl spot with Gordon Ramsey was awesome. We had a great time on set, joking about Aliens, which inspired my final line.
We riffed a lot, and I was trying to get Gordon to break with something outrageous. I think we pulled it off. Adam Sandler was at the Super Bowl. He made a prediction that the Jets would appear in Super Bowl sixty. Good luck with that one.
Out on Netflix today Philippia Sparza’s Raging Fool. In Raging Fool, Felipe explores the trials and tribulations of navigating complicated family dynamics, marriage, culture, divides, infidelity, and more. It’s his second special for Netflix. As I mentioned the top, Amy Pohler announced a podcast. I guess she wants to ride the wave of the SNL press so that we’re gonna hear this week.
I’m ready tired of SNL. We barely started a lot of Lorne Michael’s articles today that just didn’t interest me enough to share on the pod. This one is called Good Hang with Amy Poehler. It’ll be out in March. Some of the mainstream media seems to forgotten that Amy Poehler had a podcast called Same Worth, Doctor Sheila.
I guess they’re positioning this one is the first one that Amy Poehler is doing. As Amy Pohlar, who knows the Monterey County now, was curious why Whitney Cummings is touring so much. She said, I love debunking what I believe is the myth that we’re also divided. You get in a room with two thousand people that don’t know each other and we’re all laughing about the same stuff. We’re all seeing reality the same.
She talked about becoming a mother in twenty twenty three. I’m just excited as sort of catch up to all the women who are like, yeah, we had kids at thirty. Weirdo, that’s funny. Whitney continued. I think the value of making somebody laugh when I started was more superficial.
Now we’ve entered the time, we’re making people laugh as harder to do, which is a good thing. I think pressure on comics adds to the bar being higher quality. That’s positive evolution. I think as comics we represent the in between, we represent the no loyalty to anyone. We’re gonna make fun of both sides.
We’re gonna defend the indefensible, even if it’s just a thought exercise for mind everybody that we don’t all have to think the same way. Jake Tapper asked Amber Ruffin about hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner. Jake asked Amber if she’s gonna walk the line, and she says, I think I gotta do it the same way I always do it, by just telling me the truth about how I feel. It’s okay to say what’s making us feel sad at the moment. And I think when you do that and people feel the same way as you, they think that it’s fun and funny and it’s good to hear, and it’s kind of where I operate from.
Tapper asked Amber if she wants Trump to show up. She replied, no, No one wants that. I mean, sure, it’s something to do. Look, I can’t imagine he would. He should, he’s missing out one of the cool things about being president of the United States.
But I don’t know that anyone’s looking forward to being in the same room as him. I don’t know. Half the room’s Republicans. They seem to like Trump. Tapper brought up the theory that Trump decided to run when he was mocked by President Obama and Seth Myers in twenty eleven.
Tapper said, it’s the Trump origin story. Does that give you any pause when it comes to choosing your targets this year? Amber said, yeah, I’m a writer on Late Night. Seth Myers is a friend of mine. He got us into this mess.
It’s his fault. When you’re looking for somebody to blame, blame my boss. But no, he did what he had to do. It can’t be your job to rasp people.
And then this man comes along and it’s like, I’m going to be president.
You have to laugh, And I mean, ultimately, joke’s on us, right. I’ve been meaning to mention this. I thought it was odd that there were no Chappelle think pieces after Dave winning the Grammy. In previous years, it would be all kinds of things about cancel culture, Dave and punching down and all that. I guess everybody has said it already and there’s nothing new to say about it, but I was surprised there were.
I didn’t see a single article about that. I mentioned yesterday. Slate has an article titled whatever happened to Amy Schumer? I’m not here to beat up on Amy. The paragraph I think is worth sharing is the one where they wrote.
In the years between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen, while Amy Schumer was storing in and co writing the Comedy Central Sketch Show, she seemed like an exciting new presence on the comedy landscape, with her blunt honesty about the nearing universal female body shame induced by Hollywood’s brutal beauty standards, or her keen ear for the way women talk to each other when no men are present. For a few years there, Schumer was everywhere, hosting award shows, getting coffee and cars with Jerry Seinfeld and winning an Emmy and a Peabody for inside Amy Schumer. Now let me jump in there. I’ll mention two comedians that I feel like they need to tap the brakes. Jim Gaffigan needs to tap the breaks.
Just disappear for a couple months. Jim. The other one, Nicky Glazer, not so much as Jim. But as I read that Amy sentence, let me back up again. Schumer was everywhere hosting award show, getting coffee and cars with Jerry, winning an Emmy and a Peabody.
I think Nicky is a little too visible right now. Maybe disappear for a month or two. Anyway. The Slate piece wraps up with Netflix is kind of pregnant, misunderstands what once made the comedian so appealing. Nouveau caught up with Rachel Feinstein and asked her about her comedy origin story.
She said, a lot of comedy clubs do these things called bringer shows, and it’s a way that they can make money to get people on the seats, so she put me on that and that did get me seen by a few other real professional comics. At one of my first Bringer shows, Jeff Ross came and saw me, and the family that I nannied for came. I did a lot of stories about their kids, because that’s what my life was at that point. I bombed less. I was not drunk, but I was still not good and still aimlessly rambling.
But there was something in it that Jeff Ross saw me that he felt confident enough to recommend me for an audition at a real comedy club. That’s cool. So that really helped me and get me my first paid spot, which I remember was such an insane feeling. Towards the end of my run at Sirius XM, we actually had Rachel co hosting the morning show and she was really good at it, and I thought that show had a lot of potential, but the bosses were like, we already overbarning show. It’s called Howard Stern.
Well, you know what happens. Time goes by and suddenly Howard Stern’s seventy and you probably wish you had, you know, grown a show, guys. Rachel would have been good, but she seems fine without hosting a radio show. Oh, speaking of that, as catching up on Tom Poppa’s podcasts, I meant to you know, I’ll do it here. I know this makes no sense to you, So my script is over now.
But also, you know, today’s a little light, but we want to finish recording here. I’ll leave you with Gaffigan and Popa doing some inside baseball stuff that I thought was pretty interesting. So I’ll pull that now, and that’s what we’ll go out with. I also listen to Papa with a Tell In Papa with Paul Riser. They were all good.
The first half of gaff again on Papa’s podcast is really strong if you’re into like this sort of stuff that we cover here. Then once they started about food and whiskey, it fell off a cliff a bit. But let me pull that stuff. So here’s what I’m babbling about. Do you ever look crazy signs where like, oh this is where it Stan comes in.
Yeah, this is the boom is over? I did today? Really, what was it? This is a delight. It looks like we’re drinking.
Come. I thought that’s what it is. That’s what know I had today because I was on Instagram when I got to the Hotelacker and just as Avie were and I saw three really established good comics, all with their videos of Hey, everybody, my torches came out. We got a whole bunch of dates and they’re all going up and then night and it seems like right now everybody’s got the same game plan and they’re all going to the same places, and they’re all seeming I don’t know, but seeming to have to push a little bit more. Yes before post pandemic, the immediacy after the pars pandemicere, you’re like, I got get out the house now.
People like I’ve been out of the house. Yeah, yeah, some stand up I’ve seen them, you know, and yeah something do you think it’s that? Do you think that? But there’s the other part where you talk to people and they’re like, no, this is bands aren’t going out and selling anymore. It’s comedians.
And the blessing is your fans who know and love you are coming to see you have your good tribe, and that’s very different from ABFC comedian Like there’s not a lot of crossover. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it They might like to see you here tomorrow
