Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Jotty Mash with your barely comedy news. I don’t know what’s a bick of this first one. Paramount Pictures has acquired a pitch inspired by the classic game mash. The mash game starts off with a player writing out the letter’s mash to predict whether you will live in a mansion, apartment, shack, or house.
Categories then picked on what you want in your future a spouse, kids, cars, pets, et cetera. Options are crossed off or circled under each category using a magic number, yielding your final resolution. Anyway. Paramount has acquired a pitch inspired by Mash from Nikki Glaser, who will star, in, produce, and co write the film. In Nikki Glaser’s untitled Mash product, a woman’s childhood mash game magically becomes reality and she discovers that perfect life isn’t the one she imagined.
Okay, boy, Nikki Glaser, your agents are getting it done like Capital G. Capital D keep riding this wave of Nikki Glaser. Brett Goldstein spoke to Variety. He said, editing his specials hard, it really does matter where you cut the shot. It affects the rhythm of the joke, and you’re so long in the edit you get so obsessive, a detailed that by the end you’re like, I don’t even know anymore.
Is this funny? I hope it’s funny, whereas live, you know it’s a yes or no. He taped two shows for the special. Stress point early in the first show, when the crowd didn’t let out a big cheer at the beginning, he said, in a way, it was good because it made me go, you have to nail this because they’re not going to be easy. So the first show, I was really locked in.
In the later show, they were much more up for it. There was much more energy, It was much more loose. I improvised a lot and I played around more. It was sillier. He thought the second show would wind up being the special, but then I went back in and watched the first show, and I was like, the first show’s better for TV because you’re not there.
You the audience at home, are not there. So me, me messing around, being loosey goosey’s less fun because you weren’t there. He shot it in New Jersey, but he wanted to shoot it at Minneapolis, but it was February and I was told if we shot it there that the equipment would freeze was so cold, we might not make it. He’s working on a follow up and says, I’ve got many months to figure it out, but it’s a good one. I think I came up with a thing that I think, structurally is very satisfying.
Talked about this a little bit on Friday. Jeff Ross is coming to Broadway with Take a Banana for the Ride eight weeks August fifth through September twenty ninth. The show is described as a hilarious and cathartic comedic experience about life and human resilience. The show, Take a Banana for the Ride, is named after Jeff’s grandfather’s practical travel advice. Ross explains, and ever since my aunt Best took me to see Jackie Mason on Broadway when I was young, I’ve daydreamed about performing my own classy and uncensored one man show.
I’m honored and excited by the opportunity to share my origin story of how I became the Roastmaster General. This new show is designed to be a cathartic experience shared with others. I encourage you to bring friends that you care about, people that might be going through tough times. I’ll shake them out of it with an evening of uncensored jokes, uplifting stories, songs, and even some live roasting or the Braevest volunteers. Colin Joe spoke to Variety about putting together SNL fifty.
He said, I found it much more stressful because you didn’t want to let people down who are legends. There was so much more lead time, but just like the regular show, I’d say ninety percent of it got written in the week leading up to it, so it was stressful for six months for everybody. He was nervous to write for Eddie Murphy, who’s very cool, and Seth Myers was in the room and added the word taciturn. Joe said, yes, so someone’s not talking. You read all of your worst fears into that person.
So when I first presented him with a sketch, she was like, I think it’s funny I was waiting for, but I’m not going to do it. That is stressful. Seth has been doing all kinds of press and I don’t know why. I don’t know what he’s pushing, but he’s been everywhere lately. He spoke to Variety.
Seth said, unless some major sea change happens, I don’t think there’s going to be a whole new wave of network hosts on the way. There’s always been nobody understands this business in this format better than Jimmy Kimmel, so when he talks about it, I tend to share his opinion. It does bum me out that the other people won’t have exactly this opportunity, But then again, when you think about podcasts, they have just a big as reaches we ever had. If you’re a great lover of the institution of late night talk shows, there’s probably some sadness in your future. But if you love funny people, telling funny jokes and talking to people in interesting ways, that’s always going to be available.
Set’s contract is up in twenty twenty eight, but says the network knows I’d like to do it as long as they’ll have me. Las Vegas Weekly caught up with Tiffany Hattish. They were curious about her hanging out backstage with Tim mcgrawn an Instagram video in which she raved about his cologne. Tiffany said he did smell good and he looks great for his age. I wan’ts Tim McGraw.
Tim mcrow’s going to be younger than me. I’m gonna feel ancient. I shouldn’t do this search. Tim McGraw is fifty eight. Oh yeah, he’s old.
I’m only fifty five. He did smell good. He looks great for his age. But I was like, dang, my brother’s lighter than you. Are you sure you’re not black?
He was telling me about being on the ranch and all that, being a cowboy. He used to ride bulls and new rodeos when he was a teenager. Tiffany said, I am a mechanical bull rider type at a bar, then I give a little extra something to the operator and not tossing me around like a crazy person. I’ve ever seen me in a competition for bull riding. Double check to make sure I did cheat.
She is working on a show for Peacock called Tiffany Hattish goes off and explains, it’s me and my real friends and we’re going to Africa. When I was a kid, I always used to tell them I’m going to take you to Africa. I’m very big on If I say it, that’s what it’s gonna be and it might take me thirty years, but we’re gonna do it. So we did it. It was a spiritual experience for us, a journey that I think every girlfriend group should take.
No, I’m not gonna lie to you. I thought I was gonna be on some hoe stuff. I thought I was gonna be hooking up with some African king. But then I realized I’m not the hoe I thought I was. Do you have some strong moral compass that It really showed me that who I associate with really does affect how I move.

How long special filmed in San Francisco. Mike Veckione will get a special on Nate Bergatzy’s YouTube channel, Nateland. This one’s called Low Income White. It’ll be out June twenty seventh. That’s this week in Low income White Mike unloads of Barrage, a fast paced, observational humor that hits on everything from aging and generational divides to the absurdity of modern life.
Got a quick clip for you, Well, let’s listen. I got all kinds of friends now, single, married, divorced. I got one friend he got married, divorced, remarried the same woman. I talked to him a few days ago. He said, I’m depressed.
I’m like, why are you depressed? He said, I’m having marital problems. Like, dude, you’re not having marital problems. You have a learning disability. Chris Porter talked to w RF and said he’s enjoyed touring, but sometimes envy’s people he grew up with who stayed local.
He says, there’s something peaceful about that life, like an episode of Leave It to Beaver. Everything you ever knew right there. But I’m also glad I left saw the world did some crazy stuff. Still, I miss when things felt massive, when being back stage at a concert was a big deal. It’s like when your friend is a Zach Brown fan and you’re like, oh, yeah, I just played guitar with them at Kid Rock’s house.
Chelsea Handler was talking about the origins of her book deal, she says, I got this book deal when I was dating Joe coy You know, you may remember Joe Coyo was at the Golden Globes one time, but I’m not going to get into that story today. And it was a very public relationship. My editor was like, oh my god, Chelsea Handler’s in love and publicly in love. You have to write a book about falling in love. And I was like, no problem.
I didn’t know this. Chelsea and Joe coy were first introduced by John Lovetz I guess, I mean, why not? Chelsea said. The end of that relationship changed the trajectory of writing her book. Or editor asked if she would consider writing a book about breaking up, and Chelsea was like, nah, my vibe is happy and optimistic.
I thought, okay, I’m not going to just do a book. Because I have a book deal. I can give the book deal back. So I reflected and I traveled. I thought, do I have anything to say?
And I did think about how people perceived me and how I feel and where I am in my life and where I want it to be. I think the book, which is called I’ll Have What she’s having about reflection. I don’t think we’ve all given ourselves enough credit for where we’ve come from and what we’ve accomplished. We go so fast through life that you kind of forget. And here’s a conspiracy theory that even I don’t believe in.
People are claiming that the upcoming film tron Ares is copying ideas from Adam Sandler. Stay with me, Why would you copy an idea from Adam Sandler unless the idea was have Drew Barrymore in your film. That would be the only idea for Adam Sandler I would ever copy. Right. So, tron Ares is a sequel to Tron Legacy, which is a sequel to say it with me, Tron.
Now, in this new movie, Tron’s digital world spills over into the real world, right, So it’s like video game stuff coming to the real world. People are saying that is a similar idea to Adam Sandler’s twenty fifteen movie Pixels, which I guess it is, but it’s kind of not at all. Do you really think somebody said, hey, Disney, you know we got this whole Tron franchise, you know we ought to make a third movie. Hey, great idea John, What do you got? What if we ripped off one of Adam Sandler’s worst movies?
What do you mean one of Adam Sandler’s worst movies? They’re all terrible. No, I know, they’re all terrible except on cut Gems and the one about basketball and the Space one. Those ones are okay and the two with Drew Barrymore. But the rest are all garbage.
We know that. But why would we rip off Pixels? I mean, if we were going to rip off an Adam Sandler movie, why that one? You know you’re right, that’s your comedy needs for today. See you tomorrow
