Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, Late Night Back, and Steven Colbert came out of the box firing it some good ones. One. Because of the electoral college, the election could come down in just seven states. Yeah, it’s going to come down to Michigan, Wisconsin, Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance Colbert again.
One reporter describes the seven state race as the equivalent of a knife fight in a phone booth. See a knife fight in a phone booth is notoriously difficult because it involves close quarters and finding a phone booth Colbert. One. More, Harris is particularly popular with women, while Trump is ahead among men, leading some to call this the boys versus Girls election. And remember many Trump voters are not vaccinated against cooties.
Great stuff there. This next joke, I don’t know how this made it to air. Really, Jimmy Fallon writers, this is what you got. Jimmy Fallon talking about Joey Chestnut eating eighty three hot dogs in a contest. Fallon went with us on the show.
I can’t believe it. Three hot dogs in ten minutes. That’s basically me at every wedding when they pass out pigs in a blanket. Ha ha ha. Thanks Uncle Jimmy.
I’m sure he told it better. Seth Myers with a good one. Did you see the Russian spy Harness well passed away? Seth said, even crazier. It died after falling out an eight story window.
Are you ready for some football? It’s Chiefs Ravens tonight, It’s Chiefs. I know that for sure. Yes, it is the Ravens. The Kansas City Chiefs, World’s largest tailgate will return.
Rob Rigel will co host the event. Rigel a well known Chiefs fan. Good guy. I’ve worked with him more than once. The tailgate games lineup includes the Sauce Relay, the two Minute Drill, Coaches Cheeseburger Challenge, and the Chiefs Cup.
Give us some details, Johnny mack okay, I will. The Sauce Relay is a relay race in which participants will traverse an obstacle course while carrying containers of barbecue sauce. At the finish line, competitors will pour the remaining sauce into a bucket, and the team with the heaviest bucket when the timer runs out wins. That’s fun. The two Minute Drill is a passing challenge where participants where homes with blacked out visors and they have to attempt to complete as many passes into cardboard cutouts as possible in two minutes.
The coaches at Cheeseburger Challenge, you can’t use your hands. You have to assemble a cheeseburger using your partner’s hands from behind them. The competitor who’s using their hands will be blindfolded. The competitor in front has to guide their partner. You know, that just seems like an excuse to have a pretty lady be your partner, and you’d be like, Oh, I’ll wear the blindfold.
Yeah, I know what’s going on there. Fellas, Been there, done that. Chiefs Cup a variation on the traditional Flip cup competition where the cups get progressively larger throughout the game. Before you can begin flipping your cup, you have to dump a cup full of confetti on your head. The first team to flip all its cups wins.
Okay, there’s more. There’s BBQ and a Ask Me Anything style interview segment with Chiefs players answering questions over a rack of Kansas City ribs with no napkins in sight. Chiefs Trivia. We can figure out what that is. Chiefs Cup Challenge players try their hand at Chiefs Cup to see who could register through the fastest time.
Adam Sandlor is a major Swifty, we learned, and he was on Travis Kelsey’s podcast. You might know. Travis Kelsey plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and dates Taylor Swift. See how this all came together. There very nice Well’s lot of John You’re welcome.
Sandler and the Kelsey brus started talking about Taylor Swift. Adam Sandler said, by the way, what a girl. What a girl? Travis said, you know it, best performer out here. Sandler said, she means so much to our house.
The kids were little and we were listening to Taylor Swift. It was one of the first times that he listened to every song on the record. When I was a kid, the Beatles, you did that with maybe Elton John every tune. They know every word. I love listening to her in the car.
I love what she has to say, every message, every melody, the production. What she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life. Sandler said, someone asked me who I get nervous around. I said, I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because I don’t want to blow it from my kids and say something stupid. He then said, to Travis, you being together the photo of when you first started dating.
My family was like, yes, look how good they are together. He’s a gentleman, and she’s having so much fun with him. At anytime Taylor’s laughing with you. My whole family is high fiving. Mi.
San Antonio caught up with Joe Coy. All right, Scott Beckett, fan of the show, not a fan of a particular bit. I’ve already mentioned Taylor Swift, and I mentioned Joe Coy. You know where this is head and buddy, right, I mean you could just it pause now because it’s inevitable today. My san Antonio article says that earlier this year, audiences were unkind to Joe Coy after he fell short as host of the Golden Globes.
Wow, sounds like it was pretty rough. What could have possibly happened? Well, Joe made a joke about Taylor Swift and it didn’t go so well. Let’s listen. A big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL on the Golden Gloves, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor Swift.
Joe Coy didn’t let it bother him. He says, you can only get inspired when you hang around inspirational people. Negative stuff always brings you down. My San Antonio asked Joe Coy, when you think of San Antonio, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Joe Coy said, to be stupid if I didn’t say the Alamo.
Right. One of the coolest things I did in San Antonio was with my son. I had no idea you guys did live re enactments. He was about seventeenth the time and told my son, let’s go next thing we knew. We heard gunshots.
It was a lot of fun. Joe Cooy, how would you describe your year overall? I’ve loved everything about it, the upside, the downs, but everything puts everything in perspective. You can’t enjoy your wins unless you go through things. So I love where we’re at now.
The Life from Brooklyn special is amazing. Now we’re preparing for a second special for Netflix. Oh. They asked him about the Golden Globes again. He said, I just enjoyed the position I was in with my family and my fans, and seeing all the big wigs that come, like Kevin Hart and Seth and Whoopee and Jamie Fox.
It was an amazing time to have your peers with you. He talked about it being a difficult gig. Yeah, I mean I could go on forever, but it was so last second. Kim will get six months to do the oscars and I got about ten days. Would you do it again?
Everything’s worth a shot, but it’s never been a lifelong goal of mine. Host an awards show, I think stand up has always been my dream and I’m living my dream, so everything else would just be a bonus. Joekoi talked about being a zaddy. My san Antonio was like, you have to have some kind of swagger, a sex piel. No, Joe said, I think that’s on the eye of the beholder.
My san Antonio said the most famous zaddies right now were Jeff Goldblum and Pedropus Gal you were at their level of zattiness. Joe Coy said, hell yeah, I vote me in the same level.
And then for some reason they asked him who should play jd Vance and Tim Wall…
You guys were crushing it. You shouldn’t have tagged with this question. Joe Coy said, you know, it sucks that we don’t have the Phil Hartman’s and the Dana Carvey’s anymore. That’s my generation. I don’t know who can pull it off, but it’s always funny when they do it.
SNL always rips those people apart. They’re gonna crush it. I think it’d be funny if Will Ferrell came in and did something. Hasan Minhaj is just getting another special for Netflix. This one will be out October twenty second.
It is called Off with His Head in Hasan Minhaj, Off with his Head. Hasan Minhaj is back in full force. We see him tackling politics, misguided self improvement, and the challenges of life with young kids and aging parents. Donald Trump taking shots at Joe Rogan. Trump was on Lex Friedman’s podcast, which is just a bizarre podcast.
It’s super popular, but it’s just weird that it even exists. Lex Friedman asked Donald Trump, what’s the beef with Joe Rogan brought up a truth social post where Trump wrote, I wonder how loudly Joe Rogan gets booed the next time he enters a UFC ring. Trump had written that right after Rogan had announced that RFK made sense to him. That was before r FK pull out of the race and decided with Trump. Friedman has said, well, he said some nice things about RFK, Junior, you said some not some nice things about Joe.
I think that was a bit unfair. Trump said, I don’t think there’s any intention, And I’ve always liked him, but I don’t know him. I think he’s good at what he does, but I don’t know about doing his podcast. I mean, I guess i’d do it. You would do it in a heartbeat.
Are you kidding me? Get out of here. You do it in two seconds. I mean, I guess I do it. But I haven’t been asked, and I’m not asking him.
I’m not asking anybody. Rogan has said that he’s turned down several requests from Trump’s camp to have Trump on. Rogan told Lex Friedman, I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have on my show more than once. I’ve said no.
Every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him. Trump went on to say Rogan is sort of a liberal guy. I guess from what I understand I liked did he likes?
Kennedy’s a kind of guy. Don’t forget. If you would like this program without commercials, you can go to Calaroga dot com slash plus.

I watched Phil Wang special Tuesday night as planned. My daughter joined me. We both liked it a lot. I love the venue, the Shakespeare Globe Theater, so nice, small wooden room lit by candlelight. As Phil pointed out, I did comment in the Facebook group, which is daily Common News podcast group.
Especially in the first ten minutes or so. My spidery sense was tingling for perhaps, maybe possibly wouldn’t surprise me if somebody had added some crowd laughter there. There were a couple shots where I heard what in my mind was registering as a waveform of just that HAA. A bunch of jokes had a similar laugh of similar length, and then you saw it, particularly on Phil’s left shoulder. Some audience members they weren’t laughing.
And then conversely, there were a couple of times where there were things that potentially were a laugh line, and somehow the audience all knew at once not to laugh at that particular laugh line. So keep an eye out for that. In the first ten minutes that said, it’s a really good set. I was able to disengage my brain from analyzing waveforms. The materials really set, So Phil Wang, I like that a lot that will make the end of the Year list.
Also out this week. I haven’t seen it yet. Jennie Hogan’s Regression. That one’s on Amazon and some other places. Genny Hogan used to be a data scientist, but she up and left her job in San Francisco to move back with her parents in New York.
She talks about addiction, turning thirty and Los Angeles. Congratulations to Will Ferrell. He will receive the seventeenth annual Kirk Douglass Award for Excellence in Film. Big Fancy Black Tie Dinner in Santa Barbara’s Ritz Carlton at least tells us no actor in the twenty first century has been associated with more hit comedy films than Ferrel. Among those in which she starred two thousand and three is Old School An Elf two thousand and fours, Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy, thousand and six, Talladega Nits, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, two thousand and eight, Step Brothers, twenty ten’s The Other Guys, twenty fourteen’s Get Hard and the Lego Movie, and the list goes on.
That is a pretty good run there, Michael Douglas said, comedy’s the hardest and you make it look easy. Will congratulations, Dad, loved you From the Boston Globe. Sam Jay will be at the Wilber Theater on Saturday. Sam is just enjoying her tour, not worrying about industry pressures. Sam is just enjoying her tour and not worrying about the industry right now.
I’m just kind of having fun with comedy again. I kind of like not being in this development of an hour mode because it’s a different part of your brain that has to work to do that. I’m just having fun doing stand up and connecting with audiences again and just playing with ideas as they come. If you go see her at the Wilberg, There’s gonna be some political jokes in there, because that’s part of my repertoire. There’s gonna be some oservation in there, but because that’s what I do.
But to say it’s gonna be this or that, I don’t really know what’s gonna be. Stylistically, Jay says she doesn’t set the table and just starts talking. I was always like, I was over here, this kind of thing happened to me, and I still approach comedy in that way. So I’ve never felt a name to explain myself. The more I’m up there and the more I learn, the more I know about myself.
So with that the comfortability comes. Apparently everybody wants a late night show all of a sudden, Hey guys, no one has any money. No one’s getting a show. No one has any budget at all. Everyone is cost cutting.
You’re not getting a show. The kid Miro has scheduled two test shows for what he’s calling a work in progress talk show. They’ll film the first one tomorrow at the Comedy Seller, another on Tuesday, September seventeenth. The Comedy Seller’s website says this is a late night talk show style show and not a traditional comedy seller show. This is a test show and taping Jesus and Marrow at a show on Showtime twenty nineteen through twenty twenty two.
They seem to no longer get along all right, We’ll see what happens with that. Jermaine Foller will star opposite Tracy Morgan in Paramount Plus’s Crutch. Tracy Morgan plays Francois Frank Krutchfield, who goes by Crutch, a brash yet beloved Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down with his highbrow son now played by Jermaine Fowler and free spirited daughter moved back to the family home. Fowler’s character is named Jake, an ivy league educated lawyer who forget goes a high paying position at a swanky white shoe law firm to provide low cost legal aid in Harlem. Yellowjackets has added Joel McHale for a guest role in its upcoming third season.
Details on Joel Mchal’s character are being kept quiet for now. Maybe the in between ers will come back. Have you ever watched this show? It’s fantastic one of my favorite shows. British show about I guess they were high schoolers, typical horny teens kind of comedy, but it was really good.
Star Joe Thomas as that he and his co stars would consider reuniting for a third movie. He told the Always Be Comedy podcast that the idea had been discussed in various forms. We’re all still around, we’re all still in each other’s lives, we all still like each other, and it was something that came up. I think we would want to do it. I think it works with the right idea.
It would be challenged in doing another series just because of the timeline. Yeah, I don’t know how they would be still in high school. It’d be forty but the film, there’s all sorts of options. Thomas said a bachelor party could be a good vehicle. Las Vegas would be an interesting venue for the boys to reunite.
He said, there’s something about the adult world and how much more complicated it is than the world of adolescence. A film can be a special occasion. A film is about a disruption in normality, whereas the sitcom is about what normality is like. A film is a story with an ending, whereas the sitcom is more like going down to the public friend, who’s funny and it’s just open ended. The in between Ers ran as a TV series on Channel four in the UK back in twenty eleven.
The original movie grossed eighty eight point nine million dollars worldwide. The twenty fourteen sequel made sixty three point nine million dollars. Aaron Weber will tape his special two nights tomorrow and Saturday at the Lab at Zany’s in Nashville with the help of Nate Berganzy’s Nateland Entertainment. Nate is becoming a mogul from the Press. Harold christ de Gooth is a comedian based in Portland, Maine.
He’ll be at the Portland Main Comedy Festival, king off tonight and going through the weekend. He says, my perfect day in Maine begins at six am, when I get out of bed and walk to the back of the porch to catch a glimpse of the sunrise over the Eastern Promenade. I’d behold the breathtaking scenery and say to myself, Wow, I can’t believe I get to live here. Then immediately I go back to bed and sleep another five hours. I’m not a morning person.
Once the clock strikes eleven. I get out of bed for real this time and climb up Monjoy Hill to double grate for an iced latze whole milk. I’m viciously lactose intolerant, but that’s how I start my day because pressure makes diamonds. After breakfast, I drive to Higgins Beach. It has a special place in my heart.
I taught myself out to surf at Higgins. Anyone can learn by the way. You don’t need to hire someone to teach you. Surfing is a lot like stand up comedy. You just have to do it, keep doing it, and except they’re gonna suck at it for a little bit, well for a little while, really long time, actually years and years.
Surfing is easier than stand up comedy. But you get the analogy, right. Does he end his perfect day? He closes down the open mic and makes his way over to Empire Comedy Club to do a spot. He orders some chili Chris renoodles and some General So’s bow buns for dinner from the Empire Chinese Kitchen, and I have a killer set because this is my perfect day, and a boy can dream.
And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program. I have a friend about it. They might like it too. Appreciate all your new listeners for sticking around.
Love you, See you tomorrow.
