Caloroga Shark Media boy, ye will not stop raining where I live, He’ll know. I’m Johnny mac Crafton’s Eide once again with your Daily Comedy News The Tennessee and I checked out one of the Nateland shows at Zenie’s in Nashville. They do that on Monday nights. It’s say lineup curated by Nate Brigetzi. Nicole likes attending the shows.
She said there’s always a chance Nate will show up, which is a pretty good possibility. If he’s there on a Monday night, you get to see a short set from him, essentially for free, which is huge. Nate showed up on April twenty eighth and did twenty minutes. Nate told The Tennessee, and I want the next generation to have a chance to come up behind me. I always believed in myself.
I always believed I was going to get to a high level. But I remember going to TV show producers and wanted to pitch shows and you get told no. I felt frustration. Why didn’t you pick me? Before people had to do sitcoms to do arenas, I’ve gone this other way.
Now you can just become a stand up comedian. I want that to be the path for the next group that comes up. Comics coming up and don’t know what they can do, and I can help show them. Aaron Weber is one of the hosts of the Nateland podcasts. He said, Nate put me on his podcast before I really had any right to be there.
He produced and funded my debut comedy special, and as busy as he is these days, he’s always available for advice whenever I need it. Greg Warren, who’s been in comedy for thirty years, said his career took off with Nate’s help. Warren said, honestly, I remember thinking I may be finally getting better at this. I might be too old for anyone to care. Nate produced two of Warren’s specials, help Warren launch his own podcast as part of the network, and tap Warren to be an opening act on the road.
Warren said, I toured Europe with Nate. Yeah, his daughter took advantage of my fear of heights and terrorized me at the top of the Eiffel Tower. But I’m still grateful of everything he’s done for me. I’m enjoying my career more than I ever have, and Nate is a huge part of that. Steve Carell gave the commencement speech at Northwestern University’s graduation over the weekend, and then middle of it, Steve said it is time to follow me.
In the mid commencement address. At dance break, Carrel danced for a bit behind the podium, then jogged off stage to high five and celebrate with graduates. He came back to the mic and said that was as invigorating as it was disturbing. He had to catch his breath and said, wow, I’m out of shape. Got more serious and said, remember the little things like being kind and that you’re not alone.
Take care of one another, remember to laugh when you have the opportunity, and to cry when necessary. Turn new jealousy’s admiration and use it to fuel your ambition in a positive way. Comedian Dave Smith making the news. Smith is a frequent guest on Rogan and as a podcaster to himself. He had endorsed Donald Trump in twenty twenty four, and now in statements that are making the mainstream media, Dave Smith said of the President he should be impeached and removed.
He called his previous endorsement of Trump a bad calculation. Smith added all of his supporters should turn on him. It’s the absolute betrayal of everything he ran a campaign on and everything that he stood for. These comments are in response to Trump’s handling of Israel. Aron send your letters to Dave Smith.
Paton Oswalt will tape his new special, Black Coffee and Ice Water at the Audible Feeder July eleventh and twelfth. They’re going to do three show. It’ll be recorded live and later released as an Audible original, which is kind of interesting. It’s not one of the usual suspects there, and I don’t believe Audible does videos, So we’ll see what happens anyway, We’re told. In Black Coffee and Ice Water, Patton Oswalt wrestles with religion, wolves, parenting a teenager, and musical theater.
The press release says Paton mostly loses just for laughs. Montreal announced the outdoor shows. They include Puddle’s Pity Party, in which the seven foot Sad Clown, whose golden voice is comparable to rock legends like Tom Jones and Freddie Mercury, will appear. Adam Ray is Doctor Phil Live. That is a free outdoor show that’s a lot of fun.
Bonjour High, which is It’s really funny because that’s usually how I’ll walk into Starbucks and go bonjeour high, and then they hear I can’t speak French at all, they switch, which is pretty good, very good title there. It’s a bilingual performance blending French and English humor that sounds like a lot of fun. Not outdoor shows. Re starby the Legend Returns. Tickets on sale now.
Also for christ Stefano in a Varieties. Ten comics to watch We haven’t seen the list yet, but but tickets are on sale that shows at Club Soda thirty two bucks. We’ll get you in.

Pretty impressive list, but also how about all the ones that were on the list that we forgot about? You know that too, but it’s usually a pretty good list. Friend of the show, Mark Malkoff as a book coming out called Love Jenny Carson. Mark sent out an email that tells us the biography overwhelmingly contains new details about Johnny and a show never discussed on the Carson podcast. Mark currently hosts the podcast Inside Late Night, which is a good pod for you to check out anyway.
Love Jenny Carson sets the record straight on Johnny’s legacy and shines light on the many sides of his personality, incorporating interviews with over foreigner people in his sphere, including Carson’s staff, crew, guests, guest hosts, and friends, revealing never before told behind the scenes stories are the funniest and most beloved Carson moments of all time. The book is out October twenty first. The book also promises never before detailed reasons why Johnny stopped talking to Joan Rivers, why he banned guests like William Shatner and Orson Wells, the true origins of Cornack the Magnificent, which was not stolen from Steve Allen repoort Johnny played in getting Nixon elected president, the beloved comedian who the Carson writers dreaded, guest hosting interesting, I wonder that is, and many other behind the scenes stories should be a lot of fun. That one Chang Wang spoke to the Pitch Case C and he was talking about how he did not grow up watching late night TV, and Chang says, maybe I have more of a blank slate to a certain extent, I think I’m just a naturally observant, patient and sensitive person. That’s really helpful in this line of work.
Some comedians that say from a very young age wanted to do comedy. People who start too young maybe haven’t had a chance to developing themselves that they grow into a chricature of what they think a comedian is. I started hitting open mics in my early twenties. I think the best commuteans have a good sense of who they are and the unique person they are, and can lean on that and be brave enough to explore that. Pitch k C said they feel like people have been into comedians with specific voices and name checked to Connor O’Malley and Joe Para.
Chang. Do you feel like that’s been the case, he said, yeah, I think so. There’s so many more channels now, like literally, with cable, streaming and social there’s so many more ways to find an audience who can like what you do. It allows people to be themselves weirder. I feel like they have to follow mainstream forms of expression of comedy.
It used to be to make it big, you had to do a five minute set on Johnny Carson and then Mark Malkoff would write about you in his book and you get hundreds of millions of people seeing in one night. Now you can be big if you have one hundred thousand followers on Instagram or TikTok. It’s easier to find people who appreciate what you do. Jimmy O Yang spoke with the South China Morning Post. He was surprised how quickly his Hong Kong shows sold out.
Jimmy said, I really tried everything to get my tickets to my fans. Comedy is supposed to be for the people, and if it’s up to me, I do fifty shows if there’s availability and my schedule allows. Whenever I post something of me speaking Cantonese, I get a lot of love. But man, this is next level fanfare. And how fast the tickets sold, I feel like blackpink right now.
It’s crazy. Just makes me want to come back to Hong Kong more. There’s so many people that really support me. It’s very touching. And that is your comedy news for today.
And what’s been a relatively slow news week. We need like a good comedian fight or something. It’s been a little slow anyway.
