Caloroga Shark Media. Thank you Mark Maren for killing off what is traditionally a slow newsweek. Helloo, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Mark Maron went on Pod Save America and he took some shots at Bill Maher. Maren said, I can’t do it.
I always had a problem with his tone, like I feel with Bill, and there’s this, and it happens with some other boomers. There’s this desperate chasing irrelevance that changes somebody’s mind in terms of how they approach what they do, and it also kind of makes the whole undertaking feel desperate outside of his ideas, primarily I think wokeness. I don’t know, it’s just not for me. Maren said. Moore has good joke writers who know how to write for his tone.
I can’t see past the desperation of what he’s willing to do to stay in the conversation on Real Time on Friday, Bill Mooher was concerned about the militarization of US cities. Bill Maher said of the President, He’s creating an army in the nation’s capital. I just think the presence now of this army in Washington is going to have its toll taken when the next election comes around. Jim Jefferies was on THEO Vaughan’s podcast and as accused the Australian government of a cover up involving the death of Jim’s nephew during a defense training exercise in July of twenty twenty three. Lieutenant Max Nugent and three fellow soldiers died when a helicopter crashed into the water.
Jeffrey said, within a manner of a couple of weeks after the crash, Australia decommissioned the helicopters, took them apart and buried them in the desert. Ukraine said we’ll take them in. The Australians but no, no, no, no, don’t worry about that. There was an inquiry. Jim said.
The test pilots stood up and said the helmets they were wearing were defective and would end in industrial manslaughter. It’s like watching a few good men like talking about the military and the government trying to cover its ass. Other countries didn’t go out on patrol that day. They said the weather was too bad, the soldiers were too tired. One of the soldiers said they were so tired they couldn’t fly the aircraft, and then my nephew stepped in.
Commonwealth prosecutors had said charges wouldn’t be laid against the Defense Department over the deaths. The ruling that the Defense Force couldn’t be prosecuted came just five days before a two year statute of limitations to fill a civil suit was due to expire. Jeffrey said, who was fivefing days to get a lawyer? They dragged it out on purpose. This was a war game.
There were things that weren’t followed. There’s literally helicopters that have been buried. If you want to find an Australian taipan effing helicopter, you need a treasure map. An aviation safety investigation found human error to blame. That investigation said the cause of the crash was spatial disorientation, described as when a pilot is unaware of their actual orientation and relation to the Earth’s surface and the surrounding environment.
Jeffrey said of his nephew, we were proud of him. When Australia goes to war, that’s the first bloke we sent in. We sent in the planes and the helicopters. That’s the first bit of assistance. Jim also said Australia doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the few Allied nations that has stood by the US for many years.
Jeffrey said it’s like Trump slapping tariffs on Australia. I’m a bit like, what the efre you’re doing there? Man, We’re one of you guys. We buy three times more stuff from you than you buy from us. The big example they gave was, you guys buy twenty six billion dollars worth of Australian beef and we buy no from you.
And it’s like, why would we What do you really buy from us? You buy sheepskin, red wine, beef and gold. It’s not like we’re manufacturing happy meal toys in Australian factories and like those jobs could go to Americans. You can hear Jim Jeffries on THEO Vaughan’s podcast. Matt Rife has commented on this whole Sydney Sweeney thing.
You may recall Sidney Sweeney appeared in an ad for Jean’s. Rife said, I keeps seeing people mad at Sidney Sweeney for nothing. He dragged out the nothing in his tweet. She’s learning that the internet is full of absolute garbage losers who will twist anything you say into a misinterpretation. People are awful.
You know who’s awful is the worst person who ever lived, That guy Jay Leno. Boy, people hate that guy. He was on Mark Summer’s Unwraps and explained, I got the tonight show because there was another manager that handled everybody that guest hosted. I think it was Bernie Brilstein. I think he had David Brenner and all the guys gar shaling everybody.
And he calls me and he says, we’re gonna go in as a team because each of us was guest hosting. We’re gonna get twenty five thousand dollars a night to host. Jay he opted not to take part in it. Jay recalled the stewart. I said, you know, Bernie, I’m doing it for five hundred twelve dollars a night, which a scale.
I mean, I appreciate it, but I’m happy doing it for five twelve. Leto explained his logic. I knew Johnny on the show, and at the end of the month, he’d say, what did we spend on guest host? Two hundred and eighty grand? And when Leno hosted twenty five hundred.
Why don’t we go with Leno? They’re all getting the same ratings. I mean, it seemed like common sense to me. Jay first guest hosted in nineteen eighty six. A year later was named a permanent guest host, So I guess his gambit worked.
Jay took over for Corson in nineteen ninety two, which feels like yesterday to me. Jay said he enjoyed guest hosting for Carson. I enjoyed doing it. Any job I would do for free. I don’t argue about money.
The sad reality is the worst comedian in America makes more than the best teacher. Don’t worry about it. If you’re any good, you’ll do okay. Boy. That Jay Leno was something.
He was up in Elmira on Friday night and he was playing at the Clemens Center. And listen to the listen to the gall on this guy. This is what he said about the Clement Center. It’s fun. It’s a great old theater.
I love these nineteen twenty five old vaudevilleaus’s. So many of them got torn down, but so many are preserved like this one. It’s really terrific. It’s really fun. It makes it kind of interesting and adds a subtle antiquity to it.
Boy, the nerve of that guy. Gossip Connor whispers in the street, Gossip Conn, probably about Pete. Gossip Conn. Where are the rumors meeting with? Johnny Mackett’s always a tree?
Gossip Connor whisp business tree. Gossip Corn Probably gossip Cone with room with me? Johnny Maczol’s a tree. Yes, Gossip Corner is indeed about Pete. Pete apparently having trouble selling his condo.
According to s I Live, the condo, purchased by Pete Davidson in twenty twenty one, originally for one point two million dollars, was last on the market for one point zero seven million. According to The US Sun, The US Sun or the folks that were starting the Howard Stern rumors recently, the condo fifteen and ninety two square feet. Pete was selling it because he wanted to move to Brooklyn. A source with ties to Pete Davidson tells The Sun he’s blown through a ton of money and it isn’t coming like it used to. Pete has spent a lot of money on this place, renovating it over the years and making it perfect, and it’s been a big dream.
We’re told Pete has the condo he bought his mother, a place he also rents a Brooklyn Brownstone, owns a house in upstate New York.

He’s it’s not very much like Dwight, although there’s some mannerisms. Because I played them for over two hundred episodes over nine years.
But one thing that’s great, and maybe notice this, is that Dwight has a little bit of a jerky face, and rain is a little bit of a jerky face. Having played Dwight allows me to be a jerky face to people and people laugh. I can be kind of an a hole and people are like, isn’t that charming? So it’s one of the benefits of playing like Dwight. Rain Will says.
I talk to Jenna Fisher, who plays Pam. She can’t tell any really edgy jokes because people are like, Pam would never say that, So Jenna has to kind of keep her dark, raunchy sits of humor and check because people really recoil from deadline amid monster viewership Gilmore Too, that’s on you people. I did everything I could to stop that, and you guys just blew the stop sign and didn’t care and watched that thing. Happy Gilmore Too had Netflix’s biggest US opening weekend ever. Well now, because if people like you, Adam Sandler’s Happy Medicine Productions are making even more movies.
They’re developing the novel Dad Cam. In the novel Dad Camp, we follow John a devoted father. Hey, I could play that who finds his once cloned spond with his daughter Avery unraveling as she enters her preteen years. I wouldn’t be good at that. Desperate to reconnect before she starts middle school, he signs them up for a week long father daughter retreat at a Rundown summer camp, where he’s forced to confront both his fears of losing her and the evolving nature of their relationship.
Here’s my prediction. Adam Sandler will play John and whichever Sandler daughter is the younger one will play the aged up version of the daughter that’s a preteen in the novel. That’s my prediction there, But that would probably be more dramatics. Maybe we would get good Adam Sandler, who knows. In other development news, also from Deadline, Paramount has acquired The Island, described as an R rated comedy based on an idea from Trevor Noah.
The Island tells the story of two polar opposites, one a successful alpha businesswoman and the other a hopelessly dedicated male high school teacher. They’re the sole survivors of a play crash on a deserted island, and after rely on each other to stay alive. Sources say Trevor Noah was inspired by COVID for this idea.
