Caloroga Shark Media. Happy tax Day. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News out on Netflix today. Tim Dillon special. This one called I’m Your Mother.
Described as a no holds bared on, apologetic ride through today’s chaos. Tim Dillon tackles everything from his odd loyalty to the British royal family to roosting the world’s absurdities and more with no filter. There is a trailer. Let’s listen. It’s so funny what we find about in America.
We’re gonna ban TikTok or we’re not. I don’t know. I don’t care how you feel about that. At a certain age, you gotta shut up. Like I’m thirty nine years old and I have friends that are still They’re like, they can’t ban TikTok.
I’m like you, Ralph, sit out, Sit this out. They can’t ban that child’s dancy. Yep, Ralph, this looks terrible. Please stop. Where am I gonna watch children?
Dash? All right? Hey enough? This one was filmed at the comedy Mothership Joe Rogan’s place in Austin, Texas. It seems like it has better audio than his previous Netflix special.
A Real Hero did that one. The mix on that was just not good. I am a big fan of Tim Dillon’s podcast. I’m not sure his stand up is as good as his podcast is, but the podcast is top notch funny. Every single week, Loreale put out a press release to discuss their new relationship with Nicky Glazer.
My headline here, tap the breaks. I’m gonna pull out some of the language. I get it’s a press release, but guys, relax with this, Okay. Nicky has had a great what is it six months now since the Golden Globes. Not even Nicky’s had a good year going back to the Tom Brady Roast and the Golden Globes.
Get it. She’s kind of the it comedian right now. But we gotta tap the brakes with some of this language. I will read to you from the press release. Nikki Glaser partnering with Loreal.
Their shared commitment to pushing boundaries and bringing innovative ideas to life provided a natural alignment for an authentic partnership between Loreal Professional, Airlight Pro and Nikki Glaser. All that’s fine, All right, here’shere, I’m gonna start to push back. The Queen of Comedy shared her thoughts on the partnership the Queen of Comedy? Are we really going to call Nikki Glaser the Queen of comedy? I don’t know who the Queen of comedy is.
Maybe nobody should have the title right now, but are we really going to call Nikki Glaser the Queen of comedy? So all right, relax with the Queen of Comedy, who shared her thoughts on the partnership’s seamless synergy, noting comedy is all about timing, and so is great hair. I’m always on the go, and Airlight Pro let’s me get that perfect look for on and off camera performances quickly.
Also, it just feels elite.
I mean, the tech is next level. The infrared light the dryer is actually helping to dry your hair fast without damage. And as someone who highlights my hair and always experiences breakage, this is so important to me. I’m picky about my tools because I often get myself ready before shows without a full glam team, And honestly, I was so blown away by the Airlight Pro’s power and precision. It’s lightweight, powerful, and really easy to use with all the custom settings.
Nikki, did you actually write that sentence? Yourself. Did you sit down with your laptop and type the sentence. It’s lightweight, powerful and really easy to use with all the custom settings. Or you know, perhaps a publicist helps you with this and you just signed off on it.
Nikki Glaser continues. It’s also quiet, so I can work on jokes and talk to my friends backstage while I’m styling. I’ve never had a dryer like this. I’m obsessed. Partnering with a brand that’s as forward thinking and dedicated to innovation as I am in my own material just felt right.
Airlight Pro is defining the future of hairstyling, and I’m thrilled to be part of it. The general manager of Loreal said, Nikki Glaser is a major voice in comedy today. That’s true, she said, the forefront of the industry, just as Weird at the forefront of beauty tech. It’s a perfect match. Nicki’s authentic voice resonates with a huge audience, and like us, she doesn’t follow trends.
She sets them. Now, the other word I wanted to didpick was in the headline of this press release, comedy Trailblazer. Nikki Glaser Now she might be the queen of comedy. Maybe she is, but trailblazer here, I’m wanting to complete the sentence. Nikki Glaser walked so Blank could run.
Can you complete that sentence? You can’t? Can you complete the sentence? Joe Rivers walked so Nikki Glaser could run. That’s a trailblazer.
Okay, relax, I get you want to sell hair dryers. Dave Chappelle will be part of Toronto’s Departure Festival and conference. Now why this particularly caught my eye is I saw a tweet from Bruce Hills. Now, who’s Bruce Hills. Bruce Hills is the executive producer of Departure Comedy who’s putting this thing on?
But Bruce Hills used to be the big wig at Just for Laughs Montreal before they had their financial challenges a couple years ago when Bruce departed. So it’s great. Bruce is a good guy and it’s good to see Bruce running comedy things again. So with Bruce Hills and Dave Chappelle at attached to this thing, we should pay attention to what’s going on in Toronto. Toronto’s Departure Festival comedy programming features rising Canadian talent with homegrown comedians including Jesseme, Rena, Ivan Decker, Sophie Buddle, as On Phil’s and Ali Hassan.
Comedy showcases focusing on emerging talent will take place at the Comedy bart locations throughout Toronto, featuring breakout and next gen comedians. Bruce said having Dave Chapelle take part and Departure is a real honor for me the festival and an amazing treat for our audiences. Starting off the inaugural Departure Comedy Festival with somebody of Dave’s caliber and influence is incredibly exciting. The Departure Festival plus conference May sixth through eleventh in Toronto and again back to Bruce Hills used to be a big week at the Just for Laughs. They not only did Just for last Montreal.
There was JFL Toronto, which was a great festival in itself. So Bruce knows the city very very interesting development there. Will keep an eye on that. Conan O’Brien must go. We’ll be back for a whopping three episode ode season May eighth.
Conan will travel to New Zealand, Austria and Spain. In these episodes, Bow and Yang would like someone else to play JD Vans on SNL. He suggests please reach out to Zach Galfanakis. Bowen says, I do my best with him, but every time I have to play him, I go to Lauren and say, you can do a buyback. You don’t have to stick with me.
Please reach out to Zach Galifanakis. Please reach out to Taran kill him. Yeah, said I worked with an accent coach. We had to find the middle between Appalachian but Ohio, Like, we really had to find the right voice. And I was like, I don’t want to screw this up.
I have such an uphill battle here. Everyone in America is going to be like the Asian guy’s playing that guy. I was like, I really got to nail this down. I’m just telling you guys, I’m doing my best. Okay.
It was a good snl over the weekend, but there was a kerf fluffel. Did you see the sketch The White potis very very fun. I’m not sure it was hilarious, but the idea and the production values on the White Potus just nailed it. Maybe laugh or laugh. It wasn’t awesome, but the idea of it was amazing.
Amy leu Wood you know her from the White Lotus television show. She called out Sarah Sherman’s mean and unfunny impression of her character. Part of the sketch made fun of Wood’s character Chelsea Sarah Sherman was wearing buck teeth. Amy said, while in honest mode, I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny XO. She wrote this on Instagram.
At least get the accent right. Seriously, I respect accuracy, even if it’s mean. So to conclude today’s rant, HBO kind and supportive and never wrong me So leave them alone. NBCSNL mean such a shame because I had a great time watching it a couple weeks ago. That’s what the show’s about.
But there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way. According to Amy, she’s had apologies from SNL. I don’t recall SNL apologizing to anyone before I threw the phrase SNL issues apology into Google, and I see headlines using the phrase SNL makes rare apology being used several places. Website Media eight says, in nineteen nine to a Wings World sketch, made a remark about then teenage Chelsea Clinton and her appearance Lauren Michaels and Mike Myers apologized. In twenty eighteen, Pete Davidson mocked veteran and then GOP congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch.
Crenshaw were’s an eye patch because of a combat injury. Pete Davidson offered a sincere on air apology, with Crenshaw himself present. This has nothing to do with comedy, but while I have the floor, don’t park in handicap spots, you jerk? What set you off? Johnny Mack six fifty something.
This morning, I’m at the Donut Chain parking lot, doing my thing, get my iced coffee, and there’s just a jerk sitting in the handicap spot, windows down, radio blaring, and look, man, there’s another spot two feet away. I know you think you’re just running in for a second, but as somebody who had to drive around an elderly ailing parent, don’t use the handicap spots because the people who need those spots need those spots. Okay, don’t be a jerk over it, get back to comedy. Sure, here’s the highest recommend I have of twenty twenty five so far. Watch last one Laughing UK it’s on Amazon Prime.
It is the funniest thing of the year. So you’ve heard me talk about this in the past, but I’ll remind you. So they take ten comedians and they lock them in a stylized room TV studio set, and if you laugh, you get kicked out. Jimmy Carr is your host. He’s the Jeff Proops of this thing.
If you crack a smile, he can give you a yellow card. If you get two yellow cards, it’s red, just like soccer. And if you go straight to laugh, he can give you red and you’re out. It’s fun to play along at home and see if you can watch the show without laughing. I have failed every single time.
In fact, during episode two there’s one comedian that I wasn’t enjoying that comedian’s presence, and as the comedian did something, I kept thinking to myself, can’t stand you can’t stand, you can’t stand, you can’t stand you And that person made me laugh out loud, and I got kicked off my own couch. I guess I’m a particularly enjoying Richard Ayoad, who’s great in everything, and Lou Sanders quickly becoming a very very favorite of mine. It took me a minute to get used to Jimmy Carr’s current look. He has admittedly had a lot of plastic surgery. He kind of looks like Jimmy Carr now.
I’d also like to buy him a sandwich. He’s very thin, and the camera adds weight to you, so I can only imagine how thin Jimmy is in real life right now. But Jimmy is one of my favorites. So this show I recommend. Last one Laughing UK I checked earlier this morning.
They have all the other international ones. Some might be a little too far afield for us with American humor sensitivities, but I think after I finished the UK one, I might check out the Ireland one that they did also South Africa, which if I recall correctly, was hosted by Trevor Noah, so that’s probably good. I recommend watch that, and you can also watch Tim Dillanson A Good Night of comedy. Huh yeah. Community fans know about six seasons in a movie.
What if I said to you seven seasons in a movie? Joel McHale flowed to this one. Joel said, I think there are some of us that would love to keep going, And I would be like, great, If you guys want to do episodes, let us know. I think that’ll probably depend on the success of a movie, but I think if there’s enough of a demand to do more, I don’t know what look like, but obviously the movie would have to inform a lot of that. I’m game, and I know a few others a game.
I’m not going to tell you whom, but I would definitely do more. They’re always like, oh, a limited series. I’d totally be up for that. Okay. If we look at the cast of Community, here’s who I would guess would do it.
Joel McHale obviously, yes, Danny Pody, I mean he’s doing the Dennis Lyrics sitcom. He’s going to do it. Alison Breen, she’s got a bit of a career, but she also tends to show up in a lot of random things. I think she would do it. Gillian Jacobs, I think she would do it.
Donald Glover now he left the show. Originally he seems to be the hardest one to get. But what’s Glover been up to lately? I will answer that in a second. Jim Rash is the dean, Yes, absolutely.
Ken Jung likes to work and often works with Michale, So I think he would do it event Nicole Brown. I know she had some family concerns and she had to walk away from the show for a bit, so unclear and if she would do it now. Glover was quite hot for a little bit. If we go backwards here in his IMDb, let’s see, he was the voice of Simba in the recent Mufasa Lion King. All right, that’s a legit gig.
He was a star of Mister and Missus Smith. But I think they’re going to swap the cast out for the next season of that. But that was a good hit for him. Atlanta ended in twenty twenty two. A month ago, he canceled a Childish Gambino tour after a hospitalization and said I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.
Huh. And back in twenty twenty four, he told The New York Times he was retiring the moniker a Childish Gambino, saying it was really just like, oh, it’s done. It’s not fulfilling, and I just felt like I didn’t need to build it in this way anymore. So who knows. I don’t really have an answer for you.
Maybe you can get Donald, maybe not, but if he’s not touring because of surgery. The other hand of paychecks a paycheck, is it less work to you play Troy then to perform a concert. I would guess maybe I’m wrong, don’t know. We’ll see if the movie ever comes out. On the other hand, At Moontower tonight, Brad Williams at the Paramount Theater.
It’s the only show tonight. It picks back up tomorrow with quite a few shows. Looks like sixteen twenty shows tomorrow, so we’ll talk about Moontower tomorrow. The Age saw a bunch of shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. One show is by artist, says Sez.
The name of SES’s show is keeps Me Young. The Age tells us, if you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, and believe me, that’s a hard sentence to say. You say say with me, dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, say that five times fast, good luck. But if you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedis se him getting better? Because I’ve said it ninety times, you didn’t hear half the edits make it, says the comic and skating toilet critic is armed with a guitar, a stack of personal and wonderful cringy anecdotes, and a willingness to plunder her life for laughs.
She joked to the audience, I’m forcefully outing a lot of people tonight, The Age says. Says reads the room well by acknowledging that stories about stuff you might do with your hands, bird crap on windows, and Jeremy from the football club may come across as a bit much. Four stars. Zoe coombs Mars show is called the splash Zone. This one did not get a great review, only three stars.
The Age tells us the show relies on audience distractions and cultural references. Some of the punchlines are predictably daggy, but the fans lap them up. Daggy must be some ozzy slang that I’m not familiar with. Google time. Daggy is an informal adjective in Australia and New Zealand, slang primarily used to describe somewhat or something that is unfashionable, unstylish, or out of date.
I like it, daggy, and let’s do one more. Amy Gledhill’s show is called make Me Look Fit on the poster. The review here were barely two minutes to Amy’s show and the audience is already swinging underwear in the air. That’s fun. However, not every yarn sticks the landing.
A three minute speel about how much toilet paper she accumulates fizzles hard, and some of her references are too British to translate to an Australian crowd. Three stars, and that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. If you’re on YouTube, like and subscribe and all that stuff the YouTubers do you YouTube people know what to do?
Do that hook a guy up? Will ya see you tomorrow?
