Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Max with your Daily Comedy News. Conan O’Brien returns to Late Nights, not just the concept of the Late Night, but the actual NBC Late Night with Seth Myers. It is his first time as a guest on the Seth Myers incarnation. He made a cameo appearance early in Jimmy Fallon’s run That’s tonight at twelve thirty seven am.
If you want to stay up late, I am sure someone will share social media clips in your favorite podcast. Here, we’ll recap it for you. Got some information for the Just for Laughs in Montreal, Rebirth Festival JFL has announced the programming lineup for off JFL, the festival’s unique edgy sibling that has been a launch pad for the next generation of artists. This year’s off JFL features Russell Howard, Jen Marco Ciresi, a Kay, Trevor Wilson, Emil Wakeem Nish Kumar, Robbie Hoffman, Ivan Decker and some others. This is some real good names there.
I got to drop the website into English. I can sort of quote unquote read French, but not in a way where I can quote unquote read it and explain it to you as I’m doing the podcast here live ish. So this is not the main festival, but let’s see what we got here. July seventeenth, the Sketch Show, Friday the eighteenth, the Montreal Show, a couple of midnight surprises in there. Sunday Night improv.
I’ve been deck around Wednesday the twenty third, that’s in the middle of the festival, proper cave. Treva Wilson that same night, Nish Kumar that same night, and I think that’s the night of New Faces. Boy, that’s a pack night. Maybe I’ll go up there that day. So decided I finally found a contact for the new press people.
I need to reach out to them. Jay Jorden on Thursday the twenty fourth, in front of the show Marco SOIRESI on Saturday at ten o’clock. Good to see the festival back and starting to come together. Now, that’s good. Waiting for the big announcements and the new faces and all that.
Agunwotum is the latest to flirt with the idea of leaving SNL Goldderby dot com, which suddenly is reporting a lot of comedy stuff that’s hitting my google anyway. Ego was at an Emmy’s FYC event and said, I want to create something that feels like it’s mine. I want to showcase some of my other talents now that I’ve done so much on the show. But I love the show, so there’s no telling what happens there or doesn’t bo When Yang said, this is kind of what everyone’s negotiating. It’s a nice sort of collective check in for everybody.
I don’t think any of us is really at the foresight and what life would be like afterwards, and now that we’re on the other side of it, I think we’re all kind of assessing mighty. Gardner said, I think I’m looking for open doors. I found that sometimes the easiest things that come to me are the most fulfilling ones, so that’s what I’m looking for. Interesting. I think we’re going to say massive cast turnover, but time will tell.
My former coworker Jamie Fox, got emotional while accepting the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards on Monday night. Jamie struggled to hold back tears during his speech. He thanked God for giving him a second chance following his health emergency. Jamie said, I don’t want to make this whole speech about that. You can’t go through something like that and not testify.
I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there. I gotta be honest. When I saw the in Memoriam, I was like, man, that could have been me. Kevin Hart was the host of the BET Awards. He had some really strong material here, which obviously he told better than I will recount to you.
But Kevin said, I’m shutting down the idea of after parties. No after parties tonight, none take your asses home after this. That’s why I did this on a Monday. People gotta go to work tomorrow. No after parties.
That’s where stuff gets slippery at those after parties. We’re learning a lot about people, aren’t we. We’re learning a lot. Take your asses home, and people assumed that was a commentary on the dedde Combs trial. One of Kevin Hart’s other rules for the night was he wanted to keep things classy and he would only refer to attendees by their government names, no nicknames, no rap names.
He gave a shout out to Dwayne Michael Carter Junior aka Lowayne Calvin Cortizor brought us Junior, that Snoop Dogg and Gloria Hallelujah Woods. Kevin Hart said a lot of people expected to see a big church in the back selling fish plates. Nope, that’s Glorilla. Kevin also joked that he’d gotten the audience self driving Waymo cars to take the audience home. The event took place in Los Angeles.
Taylor Thomlinson addressed these situation in LA on her soon to be over a late night show and said late night shows aren’t funny anymore. We’re just the news now. I don’t know. I just have a hard time talking about any of the stuff because I don’t think it’s funny. I can’t imagine being somebody whose mom or dad, or brother or sister got abducted by ice and you turn on TV and it’s just some dumb B word and a ponytail saying Trump’s just being silly.
I don’t know how to make it funny. It’s not funny. She then joked, how are the day laborers at home depot possibly hurting Americans? Have you gone a home depot? Literally?
All they do is offer to help. Stephen Colbert said there’s been some pelting of police and ice agents with rocks and garbage. For example, people began throwing objects at law enforcement and protests that started when demonstrators took over the one oh one, although locals were quick to point out they should have taken over the four O five to the five and saved at least ten minutes on the road to fascism. That is a wonderfully, wonderfully crafted joke. Good j job.
Stephen Colbert’s left Stephen Colbert writers seth Meyer said, Also, if you’re against property damage and protesters flying un American flags, you guys would have hated January sixth, Hey, did we know Jim Jeffries has a new show on Fox? I host this thing every day. I feel like I would have mentioned it. Maybe I raced it from my brain, but apparently he had a show on Fox last night called The Snake. The Snake features fifteen contestants leveraging their unique skills and relying on their powers of persuasion.
Throughout the game, a snake is chosen to juggle the fate of their fellow competitors, all trying to compete for the grand prize of one hundred thousand dollars, which is, you know, kind of a lot of money, but not a lot of money. The feds are gonna take their cut. You’re gonna go home with maybe sixty grand. How much is Fox getting for one commercial on this show. Yeah, sounds like a lot until you look at the math.
Jeffrey said, there is no backstabbing you in this game. People are stabbing you in your front. What makes this show different from other shows is once you win the challenge, you get to become the Snake. You get a Snake Medallion, the most coveted character in the game, and then we have a saving ceremony, not an elimination ceremony, where the Snake decides either going to save first, then that person decides to save another person, and that person decides to save another person until we get down to the final two players, and then the Snake decides who gets to live and who goes home. Patton Oswalt is joined the cast of Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
He plays a vulcan in season three. That’s terrible casting, like really really terrible. Love Patton Oswalt, but there’s nothing about Patton Oswalt that is vulcan. He doesn’t look like a Vulcan. He doesn’t act like a Vulcan.
Even if he’s a world thespian, He’s still going to look like Patton Oswalt and Hobbit makeup. This is a terrible, terrible idea and I’m a big tricky and it gets worse Star Trek fans. During the brief interaction, Spock tells Patton Oswalt’s character to give him five. Oswalt’s character gives Spock a high five. Then Spock says, now go down low and lowers his hand.
Before Oswalt’s character can make contact with Spock’s hand, Spock pulls his hand away. Uh, I almost dropped a JFC there. I’m a big treky. The current regime at Star Trek is just awful. Patton Hoswald Star Trek character says, why would you do that?
Spock says, because you are too slow? Oh my god, what are you people doing? Just leave Star Trek dye in piece. Some fellow nerds said they hope Patton Oswalt gets more Vulcan episodes. He would have to appear in three episodes to pass Sarah Silverman, who appeared in two episodes of Star Trek and of course, Dignataro was in several seasons of The Horrible, Horrible, Horrible Star Trek Discovery.
You don’t want to start me on that topic. If you ever meet me in person and you say Star Trek to me, you’re gonna regret it. Caleb hearing And is getting an HBO special. It’ll tape in Chicago. Little debut this fault, you know.
