Caloroga Shark Media. I haven’t used the late bot in a while, but it has gotten much better. Hello Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News from late Bot. Have you heard Donald Trump is launching his own line if Sneakers. They’re designed to get over any obstacle, unless that obstacle is releasing your tax returns.
That is a solid joke. AI. The sneakers are said to me incredibly durable. They claim to withstand impeachment processes, subpoenas, and even the occasional capitol riot. The sneakers are designed for those who love to run, run for office, run away from tax auditors, or run towards Twitter.
Congratulations to Adam Sandler, winner of the Icon Award at the People’s Choice Awards. I’m gonna play a clip for you. I had to cut it down a couple of reasons. One, it took Adam a long time to get to the stage. The person you hear speaking with him is Jennifer Aniston, and I’ve shared this clip in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.
As this goes on and on and on and on and on and on, Aniston is basically making the face that I would were I hosting the People’s Choice Awards. She’s just like, what is happening? It’s hilarious. Sandler’s not hilarious. Addison’s face is hilarious.
The audience rolls with it. So I’m gonna play a clip here and then I’ll cut it off and I’ll tell you why, Aniston, I love you so much, and she and I know you don’t love doing stuff like this, and you’re coming You’re okay. Thanks, I do too. You were fantastic. Sorry for coming up early.
I got nervous too. This is this is going to be a little humiliating. So what happened was all right. I know you should prepare a speech for a big night like this. I had one prepared on Force.
So when my agent called me and said I won the People’s Choice Icon Award, I was driving. I had him on speakerphone and I was also eating frosted flakes, and I didn’t hear I think I misheard him. I thought he said, I congratulations, Adam, you won the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive. So anyways, I wrote a speech for that, and I don’t have one prepared for the Icon thing, but I’m gonna do the speech I wrote, and because they said I got to talk a few minutes, So let’s get to it. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Adam Sandler, and I am the sexiest man alive.
Can I get a hell? Here? To the People Magazines Academy members of Hotnessing Sexual Attractiveness, I would like to say thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country to horneus this year and was by far the most talked about person individualm by couples or thruffles during fantasy role playing slappy time. Can I get another hell? Yea, I am trying to be gracious People Magazine, but I have to admit three words keep popping into my head right now about freaking time.
So Sailor then goes for another four minutes explaining what he’s going to do in the bedroom with Missus Sandler and it aired on TV. But it’s a little too naughty for this podcast. Plus enough Ready I couldn’t make it to the end of the clip. It was just diminishing returns. He went for like six minutes.
What are you doing, Adam Sandler, Icon of the Year, and be honest with me, did you find that funny. I know he does the dumb voice. I know Hollywood’s gonna go along with it unless you’re Joe Koy having your career murdered by Taylor Swift. But boy, that’s just not funny. I’m sorry, it’s not funny.

I haven’t seen anything online.
Meanwhile, in the UK at the BAFTAs, Nick Mohammad you know him from Ted Lasso.
He was explaining to the audience what would happen if there’s an emergency. The order of evacuation would be starting with me, then in order of importance, the Baptist trophies, followed by winners, nominees, publicists, everyone else, then the influencers. That joke landed well, and then he went, oh and the Royals, and then the cameras got to Prince William who found the joke funny because it is funny. And if you want to follow with the Royals lot being going on lately Harry and Megan out of a good always fun follow the podcast Palace Intrigue, where you get your shows. Sam Morrill mixing it up, taking a shot at Steven A.
Smith and I’m all for it, boy, that’d be a great war to have. Sam has called out Steven on his Twitter feed. Dan LeBatard asked Sam about this, and Sam said, Stephen a is a curse to the franchise. Stop rooting for us. I don’t want you on our side.
Anytime he calls a game we lose, go away. How could ESPN get any worse? Dude? Replace him with Richard Jefferson or JJ Reddick or someone who knows what they’re talking about. He apparently also doesn’t like Kenny Smith.
On TNT, Sam said TNTA, I love those guys, but they won’t give the Nicks props. I know what Kenny Smith is against New York, being a New York guy, but get over, dude. We’re here. No one wants us in the playoffs. We just got to get healthy cool.
Hopefully that starts a war. DL Hughley said, I would never go on Club Shaysha. That’s Shannon Sharp’s podcast, probably best known for Kat Williams scorching the entire earth. Delle was caught walking out of a building by reporters or Papa Rozzi and said, no, I haven’t spoken to Monique. Would he take anything back that he said about Monique?
And he said not one thing. She said what she said. I said what I said. We’re grown people. We don’t have to be in the same space.
But I think the idea that people need to reconcile when they’re obviously never going to see things out of eye is a bit of a fallacy. Fun Jenny Slate as a special on Amazon Prime. It’ll be out on the twenty third, which I think is Friday, right in nineteen twenty Yep, Friday. I went to pull a clip. It takes her too long to set up the joke to get to laugh, So you know, I don’t like doing those long clips on this podcast.
She spoke to The New Yorker. The New Yorker interview is kind of not the best interview ever. Right, let me leave it at that. But it opened with Jenny apologizing for her cold, and she said, I’m embarrassed about the fluid situation. I found that after COVID, the sound of fluid in the nose is a turnof for many people, which totally makes sense.
So I’m calling out that. I know that I’m gross. Grub Street falling around Mosha Casher. Grub Street will do this. They’ll ask somebody to log what they eat for a week.
I could do that, but it’d be bored. Here’s what I do donut Shane. Usually a coffee roll, smoothie, Place smoothie. Sometimes I get a buffalo wrap, and a lot of times I don’t eat dinner. But if there’s a bag of M and m’s, I’ve been known to grab a handful as I walk by.
I gotta start running again, Mosha Casher. It’s told grub Street for change of pace. I went to eat lunch at the moynihan Food Hall at Penn Station. I go with pizza. But I’m not sure if you know this, but New York is said to have the third best pizza in America after Cleveland, and of course my hometown sunny Los Angeles.
The Napple hit the West. I buy two slices at Sauce. The crust is so thin it’s reminiscent of the bread of affliction of my people. I fuld both slices like a real New York guy. That way, no one knows I’m a tourist.
While a Poundstone told the Day that she has regular ping pong parties in the backyard of her house in Santa Monica. My daughter and I added up one time how many times I’ve done them. It’s now over seventy. She cajoles the fifty attendees to compete in a ping pong tournament, and she says, because of inflation, I’ve uped the prices to one hundred dollars instead of fifty. I have a fantastic antique scoreboard from a flea market.
She says she will often done a blank name tag when I get nervous. I can’t remember names. The blank name tag is a great conversation starter, and it’s embarrassing to ask somebody who’s been to my party seventy times what their name is. Axeost had asked Josh Connoman or people from around the country shock that you grew up in the Boston suburbs, but you don’t act to talk like Bill Burr. Josh said, people almost always assume I’m from the midwestern Canada until I start talking about the Celtics.
People associate the Boston area with a very Walbergian mickismo, and they tend not to give as much notice to other folks have come here with different vibes. What does he like to eat? In Stone said, I’ve gotten a little out of the loop, but I will say the Stones was very accommodating of my recent Stoneham High School reunion, and I always trying to make time for runn At and as Takaia when I’m back in town. Al dot com is in Alabama asked Dusty Sleigh, Dusty Sligh’s your real name correct? Dusty said, it’s my real name.
I mean, some could argue that my name is a little different on my government paperwork, but I’ve always been called Dusty Sleigh by my parents and everyone, I think. He told Neil Brennan his name is Dustin. Out dot Com said with a name like that, it seems like you’re predestined to be a wrestler. Dusty said, well, I grew up watching wrestling, or wrestling as I called it. I don’t know when I started calling it wrestling and people stopped calling it wrestling, yet it happened at some point in my life.
I grew up watching that. You see all these pro wrestling promos and all those guys are talking to me, that’s cool stuff. I grew up listening to country music. I love country, and that’s where I got a lot of inspiration from. Merle Haggard is very famous for doing Workingman’s songs.
He addressed how being sober has shaped his comedy, said, it was just real clarity. It’s some real self control discipline. I mean that was the thing for me. With drinking. I never had control.
I was still doing comedy. I was still funny. In fact, I want to composition in Charleston. As a drinker. But the moment I stopped drinking, I started being able to write jokes better and faster, and I could remember them better, and just my daily walk was better in general, because as a drinker, I’m always kind of pursuing that next beer.
But when you eliminate that, then your pursuit of other things. You need to find other things to bring you fulfillment. And I didn’t lose as many friends. Nate Bergatsi’s out on tour. What can we expect to hear?
Nate said, I talk about what I would have been doing if stand up didn’t work out, stuff about my wife and my parents getting older every time. I’m older than I was when I did the last special. Yes, that is how time works, Nate. So I talk about where I’m at at my life and stuff that I’m going through. It’s fun to grow with your audience, What would you have done if you didn’t do stand up?
I was a water meter reader. I read water meters. I would have been working for that company. Probably hopefully by now I would have moved out of water meter reading and higher up, But I don’t know. Got a pressure release.
Orange Theory fitness and comedian Hannah Berner have announced Hannah’s next breakout comedy event. It is called wtf is OTF. On February twenty eighth, Hannah Burner will take the stage for a roast of the fitness industry and the many cliches and fads that come along with it. The event will take place in New York City. It’ll also livestream on TikTok.
Hanna Burner said, this wtf is OTF comedy event is gonna be epic. Expect laughs, roasts, and maybe a little sweat. I know first an what it’s like to be in a bit of a fitness limbo, and all the fads swirling around at the start of the year don’t help. What Orange Theory helped me to realize is that sweating it out doesn’t have to be too serious, and this partnership proves that while answering all of our Biggest Fitness wtfs. I’m actually planning on hitting the exercise bike right after I finished this recording.
I’ll do the edits later, hoping to do a forty five minute on Apple Fitness Plus. From Deadline Bossom, Yusef claims he lost a role in James Gunn’s Superman Legacy movie due to his public support of Palestine. During a Piers Morgan segment. Deadline says Usef taped an audition pre actor strike for the role of Rueman Harjatti, but by the time gun turned in his final version, the role was cut. That was before Yusef was on Peers Morgan.
James Gunn went on Twitter and said this is accurate, meaning that the character was cut from Superman like I say. Before the Peers Morgan interview last week, Yusef told Salon I was cast in the movie Superman. Then they told me we changed the script after this Peers Morgan interview. I want to assume good faith. I want to know, I want to believe it’s true.
I was a little bitter and I wanted to go okay, screw DC, screwed Warner Brothers. But then I understand the emotional burden that those people have. I mean, those people have a connection with Israel. I understand. Maybe the people who were in charge took that decision, looked at me and didn’t want to have me.
And maybe I understand. If I’m an Arab Muslim, I was the head of Warner Brothers, I wouldn’t want a pro Zionist or a pro Israel to be in my movie. If he attacked people, I understand. This is the thing we need to dissect. When I attack Israel, I attack its policy.
I’m not attacking Jewish people. A source close to the situation tells Deadline this is probably a case of he said, he said, who knows.
