Caloroga Shark Media. Hello again, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News back quote unquote live. As we head towards Memorial Day weekend, and normally this week I would worry about it’s a little slow. It is not slow at all. Sarah Silverman has a special ad on Netflix today and did a ton of press which I’ll cover, And then on Saturday Gerard Carmichael, and then on Monday Mike Berbigley.
I have specials, so there will be plenty to talk about. Especially next week can be tough, but hopefully those two extra specials will get us through it. And I’ve already put a bunch of stuff away for Monday and Tuesday of next week, so I am hopeful. This week I can already tell you it is busy. I’ve worked on half the scripts.
Let’s jump in. As I mentioned, Sarah Silverman did a ton of press. She is the guest don at least two podcasts. She did Conan O’Brien’s podcast, which I listened to this morning. I didn’t last long.
They were just shucking jokes, perfectly entertaining, perfectly funny. Just do I have my phone on me? Hold on? Let me tell you how many things I have on my phone. So right now on my phone, I have one hundred and thirty podcasts downloaded, which is a low number for me.
I consume a lot of content. So Sarah Conan, it’s fine, you should listen to it, There’s just too much for me to consume. Mark Maron also had Sarah on that is a quote unquote real interview, and I thought very compelling. So if you’re only going to listen to one, pick the Marin one. Sarah had spoken to John Mulaney last week about her irregular sleep cycle, and she says, I love sleep, and I sleep like maybe two hours and then I get up a little, and then I sleep another two hours and then get up a little.
M’laney was curious if she has a routine before bed. Sarah said, I sure, do you want to hear it? Well, I wash my face and I use obviously many serums and oils and creams, and then I floss my teeth, and I’ll be honest, I do it in front of one of those big magnifying rivers. I want to see everything come out, and then forgive me, John, then I take a little pufferoo and then I brush my teeth. Molany was curious why I dental hygiene in marijuana are paired.
The Silverman said, because I floss, and then I don’t want to brush my teeth and then get high, because you know that’s not good for your breath, disgusting smoke. I can floss while high, but then I do it for about twenty minutes. She was on a radio show and talked about her relationship with Pam Anderson and told Andy Cohen, I will tell you something about Pam Anderson, who I think does not care for me, which I was surprised by. Sarah was at a big, fancy Hollywood galla that they have every year. She went as Sasha baron Cohen’s date.
Sarah explained, so I went, she was there, and of course he’s got that connection from Borat with her, and I had roasted her and I was on that show VIP. She looks at me and she goes, oh, yeah, he told horrible jokes about me on my roast, and then she turned around and left, and I was like, my heart is broken. The joke on the roast, which I will paraphrase, because we try and keep it clean here. You know what a lot of people say, oh, Pamela Anderson wouldn’t be anywhere without her breasts, and that’s not true. She’d be Paris Hilton.
Sarah went on a different radio show and said Conan O’Brien was the best thing for me. It was his first year on late night on my first don only year at SNL, and he put me on all the time, even after I was fired, all the time, and that was the start for me. And I wouldn’t have been able to be on Conan without SNL. And it was an incredible kind of boot camp experience. She explains being on SNL was so magical, so amazing, but there was also something about it where they just have this energy.
They puts you in your place where you feel like her piece of crap. The anxiety. It’s very hard to be zen and chill there. Andy Samberg did that whole piece about the anxiety of doing something for SNL. It was very honest.
I thought a lot of people connected to it that were there we all felt like losers for some reason. I was totally thrown for a loop when I was fired because it never occurred to me that was possible. But I think it’s definitely for the Best. Sarah did a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone, which I shared in the Facebook group Daily Comedy of his podcast group. She talked about not for the first time, being regretful about some of the racist stuff she did in her past.
Sarah explains, I felt like the temperature of the world around me at the time was like, we’re all liberal, so we can say the N word. We are racist, so we can say this derogatory stuff. I was playing a character that was ignorant, so I thought, okay, looking back, my intentions were always good, but they were effing ignorant. A Rolling Stone then skips ahead two and two one twenty two, Dave Chappelle did an SNL monologue riffing on anti Semitic social media posts by Kanye West in NBA star Kyrie Irving. On her podcast, Sarah described Chappelle’s monologue as hilarious and brilliant and winning and wildly anti Semitic.
Silverman played a clip from the monologue. The clip, Chappelle says, I know the Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world, but but you can’t blame them on Black Americans. You just can’t. Sarah chimes in and says he’s kind of like Jimmy Stewart’s stutters at the end to give a little folksy truth telling charm. But the idea that calling out massively influential zillionaire superstars for posting lies and promoting hatred of Jews is the Jews blaming their troubles on black Americans is effing insane.
Can’t believe I have to say this. Sarah Silverman new special on Netflix today Saturday Night Live. I thought the finale best episode of the season, which is great. Maybe there was one better. There weren’t a lot better, but it was really really strong all the way through the second musical act.
Then it kind of fell off a cliff, but really strong.
Also of note was Scarlett Johansson in every sketch, which is pretty impressi…
Maybe I think Scarlett was in all of them. She was fantastic. But what everybody’s talking about is who’s leaving a late nighter. Read the tea leaves. I think I agree with them here they wrote there were some signs that at least one high profile cast member tends to leave that cast member’s bow and Yang, who got as close to a goodbye sketch as anyone with Bowen still straight.
The Good Knights offered further hints that maybe Yang is in fact leaving in the Good Nights, which were cut off on the live broadcast. I watched the Hulu version on Sunday, which had the complete Good Nights, But yeah, they got off in the middle of The Good Knights. What are you doing NBC? Anyway? In The Good Nights you see a tearful bow and Yang and fellow cast member Sarah Sherman embracing for a full twenty seconds later, Yang and Eggo Nuotam share what looks to be a meaningful hug.
Late Night also points out the fact that Gardiner Dan Yang stood together at the top of Good Nights with their arms around each other. Could mean they’re just good friends, or maybe they’re leaving. I was watching the Tea Leaves as well. I couldn’t even find Michael Jay In The Good Nights. Jost came out and gave his wife, Scarlett Trahansen, some flowers and then walked off.
He didn’t seem emotional in the Good nights, although during Weekend Update I thought he was getting choked up at one point was working hard to keep his composure. We’ll see. And I know Bowen recently had given that quote that he wasn’t leaving, but his body language to me makes me think he’s leaving. We’ll see plenty to talk about all summer.
Speaking of Colin Jost, he will join the cast of The Breadwinner.
That’s the Nate Bergatzy movie. We’ll Forteke, Colin, and Kamil on Gianni are all in the Bread Winter. In the Bread Winter, Nate Berghatzy’s characters life is turned upside down when his super mom wife lands a deal on Shark Tank. Nate becomes a stay at home dad and quickly realizes he’s way in over his head. Hilarity in Who’s Marcelo Hernandez who does one thing really well?
Is going to be in a movie with Kevin Hart, who does one thing really well. The movie is called seventy two Hours. I’ll talk a little bit about that more tomorrow. Kevin Hart will play a forty something executive who hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of twenty somethings on a wild bachelor party weekend, an opportunity the Kevin Hart character seizes on after inadvertently getting added to a group text Mars Hernandez, who does one thing really well? We’ll play the groom’s best man?
An official Bachelor party captain. More snl Chevy Chase will be the subject of a new documentary from CNN Films. It’s called I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not. Chase is involved with it. CNN describes it as authorized, yet unfiltered.
Chase, in his own statement, said, I understand CNN’s going to release a documentary about me. I’m delighted and I hope I’m in it. I didn’t see any update on the Theo Vaughn alleged bar fight that I told you about yesterday, but New York Magazine wrote, is Theo von Trump’s new sidekick? Currently? Theovaughn made an appearance that ruffled some feathers.
The President and Theovaughn were at a US air base in Qatar last Thursday. You may recall Trump was on Theo’s podcast. He described the podcast appearance to the crowd of eight thousand troops and told them we had a good time. Trump then goofed on the four stars leading the military and the quote freaking losers who doubted Trump’s military strategy. The President added, we don’t care if you’re politically correct.
Theovaughn was the warm up act. He joked, where do you think the next nine to eleven should happen? Joked that there was no crime in Qatar because everyone is named Mohammed and everyone dresses in quote ku klux Sandman robes. THEO called the navy gay reports are The jokes drew some laughter and some groans from the people in the audience. Sent your letters to Theovaughan and the President.
As I mentioned, I always listened back to my own podcast to make sure I didn’t make a mistake. Sometimes I make a mistake and I have to go back and re upload it. I think I made one last week one day, Yeah, maybe Thursday or so. The opening music was a little low and I had to go back in. So I was listening back to myself, and it really registered with me that on the all time comedian list, having Amy Schumer on those lists at all, it’s just insane.
Maybe if we get one hundred down, sure, but like a top ten, top fifteen, to have Amy Schumer in an all time comedian list is insane. Now as I thought about it, more, she may have an all time sketch, her twelve Angry Men sketch. Sure, maybe if we make a list of the all time sketches, Amy might be pretty far up there with that one. So perhaps to that sketch. But as a comedian, I mean, what’s her signature bit, what’s her signature body of work?
It doesn’t exist. And if we’re going to do like all time sketch things are, we’re going to put Amy’s work ahead of say, I don’t know kids in the hall. No, not being anti Amy, but let’s just rank everybody properly. As I mentioned, you know, I had four episodes on tape, as they say in the business, so I didn’t get to share this one with you. But I had noticed on Thursday, all of a sudden, Kevin Hart canceled a bunch of shows, including one or Friday Night.
I’m speculating that maybe the movie popped up and that’s why he canceled the ones in the summer, but to cancel one for the next night is a little weird. Did a Google of Kevin Hart. Nothing came up. We’ll keep an eye on that one. On Gossip Corner, Ali Wong was spotted at the Chase Center for the Golden Skate Valkyrie’s first ever w NBA regular season opener.
On Friday night, Beth Stelling abruptly canceled her Saturday night shows at the Kennedy Center. That news also popped up on Thursday. Look, you know, Ubu, but like to cancel a show, I don’t know thirty six hours before. I’m assuming it is a political statement, but like, there was nothing new. You could have canceled your shows two months ago.
So I just show up for your fans. Like come, al Bell did show up for your fans.
Also, I know people who work at the Kennedy Center.
Canceling your show and taking away the revenue of the business of the Kennedy Center. That is not helpful. You’re actually a hurting the people who work there. So do the show, and while you have the microphone, say your piece. I don’t think canceling the show at the Kennedy Center is the right thing to do.
Best selling, but whatever, Aubu.
Also on gossip Corner, the Light Simes had reported a three day pause and ope…
But good news the barbecue place had reopened a Friday afternoon, Ac Barbecue. You’ll find AC Barbecue in the Westfield Century City Mall’s Dining Hall. They had their grand opening May seventh, but got shut down last Tuesday. The La County Department of Public Health said the barbecue had opened without approval or permit. But seems everything is cool now.
