Caloroga Shark Media either. I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. During the pandemic, I was really doing a lot of stuff related to the late night monologues, and I’ve gotten away from that over the last couple of years. But last Friday I did it and I kind of liked how it felt. So maybe on Fridays we’ll just take a look at what some of the jokes from during the week were.
Fallon had most of the good ones, and that’s a combination of Fallon having good jokes and some other shows being off. But Fallon said, it’s crazy to me at the president launch an attack on Iran, his own parade and a cell phone in the same week. Found again. Thankfully, as of now, this ceasfire has held. It’s about as stable as an Ikea cabinet with a screws missing, but so far, so good.
The strike on Iran was called Operation Midnight Hammer. It was named after Trump’s favorite Stormy Daniels movie. Seth Meyers said JD. Vance defended Trump’s decision to launch air strikes against Ironnie and nuclear sites and that we do not want war with Iran. We actually want peace, and I don’t know, man, I think what you might actually want is a dictionary.
And then Colbert got on Trump saying make Iran a great again. Your whole damn thing is America first. You can’t just hand other countries your slogan. That’s like if McDonald’s had an ad campaign that said, I’m loving it it being burger king good stuff there. Yesterday was a little busy, so I bounced this.
Plus there’s a strategy to how I put the show together, and I like to have a headliner in the title of the episode to get a couple drive by downloads, so I siphoned off. Tom Sagora Headlines is working on his first feature film. It’s called LT Gray, an R rated comedy. This announcement is just a week after Netflix ordered season two of Bad Thoughts. Lt Gray follows Jeff played by Tom Sagora, and his friends as they head down to Mexico, only to discover the hard way that Jeff is a dead ringer for the infamous cartel leader LT Gray, who’s gone missing after being captured by rivals and then rescued by Alti Gra’s forces.
Jeff has to pretend to be their ruthless leader till he can find his friends and a way home. So it’s Dave but cartel. I’ll watch, Skory said. From the moment I read this script, I knew I had to play the part. As a fellow business owner, I’ve always found it inspiring how productive and efficient cartel leaders can be.
The whole team is so excited to make a rig comedy, and I’m so thrilled to be part of it. Already sounds hilarious. I mentioned yesterday about the industry just deciding, Hey, we are pushing Nate Bergatzy. Okay, everybody get on board. Nate’s the greatest thing since slice bread.
You all understand that. Well, Deadline had the headline Nate Pergatsy’s next act, ushering in a new era of family friendly comedy through Nateland Entertainment. Now, when I saw that, I was like, we did this article already, Right, we did this like two three weeks ago. Is this the same article? Then?
Why is this being recycled? No, it’s not the same article. It’s a different arraticle with the same narrative they’ve been pushing for a few weeks. Now. Congratulations team Nate Pergatzi.
You guys are getting it done. America is getting the message. We understand Nate’s great, we get it. We get it. In this version of the narrative, we hear from Robbie Pra, who runs Netflix Comedy.
We’re told even back in two thousand and six, when Robbie was programming the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, he saw the makings of a star, the right combination of work, ethic and undeniable talent. But what he also possessed, says Pra, which made him a complete anomaly in comedy is his ability to stand in front of any kind of crowd, in any venue of any size and kill. Really, no one else can do that. You’re telling me Chris Rock can’t kill in any venue, any size. You tell me Chris Rock can’t do that, pro said.
What makes Nate resonate so widely is it’s easy to see yourself in him. Pra says. My wife stares at me during his sets, feeling like he’s a heat seeking missile talking about our life in marriage, and millions of people around the world feel the same way. I like Nate, but this narratives out of control now. Jason Hayman, a partner and film packaging agent, at Uta, who has worked with Nate for around five years.
You’re getting it done. Jason cap Tip to you says, Nate knows his brand an audience inside and out and doesn’t stray from it. When it comes to Nate, shouldn’t expect the heavy political or profane, but rather a single minded focus on putting smiles on people’s faces. Jeff Foxworthy much and working with this team, Hayman explains Burgets. He gives very strict guidelines as to what’s a fit for Nate Land and what isn’t, defining him protecting his brand with a singularity of vision.
Dusty Sligh says, personally, I think there was a time when everything was kind of clean, and then Edgy became more prominent. I think you’re allowed to say anything you want on so many platforms than when somebody actually dials it in, pulls back a little bit, but is also able to be very funny. That’s a unique thing, by the way, Jim Gaffigan, anybody I haven’t even played the Seinfeld card. I mean, come on, Nate’s good, Nate’s at the top, but tap the brakes with this because what happens is you fly like too close to the sun and people get sick of it and they turn on you. Just lay low, dude, Just lay low.
We’ll get another round of this when the Emmys come out in September. Nate is hosting it.
Speaking of Dusty Sleigh, who I really dig, he has a deal with Netflix to deb…
It’ll be out on Netflix July twenty ninth. Filmed in Chattanooga, Dusty Slagh shares personal stories on everything from milking to elevator etiquette. Sleigh says this special is as hottest July in Alabama. I do think it’s my best work yet, and I’m very excited for the people to see it. We’re having a good time, which is his catchphrase, and you know he’s his best work yet.
As if somebody’s gonna say, you know, I’m putting out this special, it’s probably my third best special. You know that other one was really good, but this one’s okay. You should watch it. Come on, you could tell Johnny Max not in the mood for any hogwash today, no nonsense today, all right. Steph Tolov talked to the La Times.
She is a good example of one of those quote unquote overnight successes that’s been around for two plus decades. She says, I’ve been doing this for twenty three years. It’s been a long journey. It’s nice to have these landmarks or events that I can look back on and be like, oh my god, I’m very proud. It’s been slow and steady.
Some people have bypassed and gotten big online and whatever. But I look back and I’m so happy that this is how my career developed, because I’m ready now. If I got this when I was like twenty, i’d be bad. I’m sure if you saw me on the thing Bill Bursaw, you’d be like, who’s this? Because you know the hell I was.
And then you went back and you could see, oh, this has three thousand videos and they have all these albums. It’s not like I came out of nowhere and have nothing to back up what I do. So her current I want to say origin story, but that’s not fair to somebody twenty three years in. Her current fame story is Bill Burr saw a clip of her and reached out. Steph says, at first it didn’t feel real when Burr DMed me, I thought it was a joke.
Account I was like, Okay, some fake Bill Burr count is saying I’m hilarious. Then after beating him, It’s funny when you meet your idols and they’re so down to earth and chill, You’re like, okay, it’s just a normal guy who finds me funny. So I think when you meet someone and realize how chill they are, that makes it way cooler. Not nerve wracking, but it was very refreshing that if someone that you look up to that is that funny, so well respected, and also find you funny. Because you guys don’t see.
They hate a lot of sea online, especially female comedians. All we get is trolled. This morning, I deleted like ten comments saying I’m ugly and of a big nose. I’m like, yeah, I know. People tell me like I don’t know.
I’m like, oh, it’s not small. The wnbas Indiana Fever are having fever Fest. Fever Fest will pack four musical acts and four comedians into a three hour show. I’ll focus on the comedians. They are Cedric the Entertainer, Leslie Jones, former last Comic Standing competitor, Aita Rodriguez Like, what’s frying my brain is?
When did that show air and I’m looking it up. Last Comic Standing aired from twenty three to twenty ten and again in twenty fourteen and fifteen. So at best, that’s like a ten year old reference. Okay, whatever she’s playing and Dion Cole will serve as host of Feverfest. Feverfest is produced in conjunction with Heartbeat, which is Kevin Hart’s company.
Heartbeat was named in February as an official culture curator for Pacers Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of The Pacers and the Fever By the way, Oh, Tyrese Haliburton, Man, I know, I’m like five days later on this. Oh, I felt so bad for him again. You heard the commercials. I was all I was, you know, a Knicks frontrunner. I was on the Knicks bandwagon, you know, rooted against Aliberton for a week, but he earned my respect and then I just felt so bad for that guy.
I hope you feel better soon. Anyway, if you’re not going to fever Fest and you’re like that’s not for me, and you’re looking for the opposite of fever Fest, I think this is as opposite as I can get for you. Borsch belt Fest will be in the Catskills. July twenty sixth and twenty seventh, Josh Gondleman will headline Borsch belt Fest, who will be more than thirty additional performers. Robert Klein will be honored on the Saturday night with a Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Josh Gonelman.
Andrew Jacobs is the board president of the Borsch Belt Museum, which aims to preserve the history of the twentieth century Jewish vacation land that drew top entertainers, political leaders, and civil rights activists. Andrew said, We’re thrilled to welcome Josh Gonoman, Robert Klein, and our entire lineup to Borsch belt Fest twenty twenty five. Colin jo just has another gig. He’s teamed up with Blue Moon. He is Blue Moon’s first ever celebrity partner.
There are two new ads co created by Colin Jost. Hm hmm, hey, Colin, you will into this? Yeh sure? Can we just punch up this line? Yeah?
Okay, great, I’ll do it, sure how much? In one of those commercials co created by Colin Jost, Colin Jost hesitates to eat the beer’s signature orange garnish until he’s gilted into it by a young Orange and a young Orange’s proud father. The father says it’s an honor to be chosen for a blue moon. In the second commercial, co created by Colin Jost, Colin Jost is on set filming a blue Moon commercial, only to realize he’s not the star. The beer is Colin Joe shut up on Staten Island Tuesday night, he appeared at three local bars to serve blue moons.
He posted on Instagram, it’s extremely hot, so I’m buying anyone who’s on Staten Island around of blue Moon tonight come by for one free blue moon. I’m not that rich. Let’s hit gossip corner. Cheech Marin visited the J bar M Barbecue. No good news for Cheach and his group.
This happened on Monday. No normally the jbar M is closed on Monday, but the owner, John Toomey, was there to greet Cheach and the rest of his group. We are told jbar M serve Cheach and friends the sumptuous Cowpuncher barbecue board that’s loaded with more than ten pounds of ribbies, pulled pork, turkey, brisket, pork ribs, chicken sausage and Hlapino sausage, as well as French fries and side dishes. Wow, it’s meant to serve ten to fifteen people and runs four hundred and twenty five bucks. But there are smaller versions.
You can get the Ranch Hand, which serves six to eight and is only two twenty five or the Little Pony that’ll serve two to four people for one hundred and twenty five dollars. And I am hungry now, but I’m not gonna pick out. I got myself an extra salad wrap the other day that’s been in the fridge, and like, I gotta eat it today or throw it out. So no barbecue for me today. Staying on gossip corner, you’re there at the Jelly Roll concert.
You’re having a good time. You’re like, man, this concert’s great. There’s only one thing that would make this concert better. I wish Kevin James would show up. Well, you got your wish.
If you were at the Buckeye County Superfest in Ohio enjoying Jilly Roll, out came Kevin James, who’s sixty years old now. Kevin helped perform the song need a Favor. Kevin was dressed just like jelly Roll, Kevin danced around the stage for the duration of the song, where black pants, a black T shirt with a black vest over it, and a backwards black baseball camp the way you could tell them apart jelly Roll has tattoos and is funny. I should just get out there, see you
