Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenny mack who with your Daily Comedy News should be a good one on Netflix. Today, it’s Andrew schultz new special. It’s called Life, his second for Netflix. This one filmed at New York’s Beacon Theater.
We’re told it’s his most personal yet. Andrew offers a look at the hilarious and humbling journey of trying to start a family, breaking down the chaos of IVF like only he can, says the presser from pumping out samples, you know what he means to dodging emotional landmines. It’s raw, real, and will make you grateful. Your swimmers probably work. It’s gonna be a good month on Netflix.
They also announced Bert Kreischer’s special Lucky. There’s a trailer for that. I’ve made some slight edits for language. Let’s listen. All right, So hands, did you know Julius Caesar was a real person?
Okay, I didn’t know that one. We’re in a big tour and they’re talking about Julius Caesar and Cleopatro of fake names. I have my daughter, George, I go yo, you see a real person, and she looks at me. This Tart. That’s a great question for the group.
Dad for Kreischer Lucky on Netflix, March eighteenth, Falling up on the Oscars. By the way, I dropped a bonus episode yesterday Mike Chisholm and I from the Letterman Podcast. That’s not a proper way to phrase it, you know what I meant. Mike from the Letterman Podcast, and I discussed Conan O’Brien for about forty five minutes, So that’s in the feed. Chris Rock showed up at the after party.
He hadn’t shown up at one of the Oscar after parties since the infamous event. Chris Rock now sixty years old. Wow wow, wow wow Wow. You just picture him as a young comedian on SNL, don’t you wow? Sixty Manedy Ferre tells us Chris Rock looked polished in a black tuxedo paired with a white shirt and smart black shoes.
He was spotted talking to David Spade, Mick Jagger, and Timothy Shalla. May not bad being David Spade being the fourth most famous person in that group. Kase you’re curious, Wilson not at the party. Chris was asked would you ever host the Oscars? Again his answer, you never know.
This is what I would say. The most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive, and not just people. You have to forgive yourself sometimes, so hey, you never know. I live in forgiveness. True love starts at forgiveness.
Nikki Glaser was at the after party. We’re told she was in a sheer black lace gown and matching black heels on the red carpet. She confessed wasn’t easy to make the look work. She told Entertainment Tonight it was a different size a couple hours ago because I got fitted for it a month ago and I’ve been eating too much skinny pop. So interesting choice by south By Southwest to announce their comedy lineup in a very busy weekend with Shane Gillis hosting Saturday Night Live and the Oscars kind of taking all the oxygen out of the rooms.
Let me catch up on this one. They’ve announced the full comedy festival lineup for south By Southwest twenty twenty five. Comedy shows are from March seventh through the tenth.

The Storied Club, with its iconic brick wall, returns with Melissavia Signor another club favorites for an evening at the Hollywood Improv. Gotham Comedy Club out of New York City will host Gotham Comedy Club Presents, featuring Brian Simpson and some others. Don’t Tell Comedy is doing their first ever roster of Don’t Tell Comedy All Stars.
Now. Is that a secret show or are you telling us where it is? Because that’s not what Don’t Tell Comedy is. That would be Told Comedy. The Allegian Theater, the center of LA’s Bursioning Clown movement, brings their flavor of experimental, outrageous performances to the Comedy Festival.
Alesia Knight’s eight c X is a variety show featuring upon an Intrilla, Natalie Palamedes and other special talents. Well you got a great one too. They’re off the top of the roster I would definitely go see that. Skank Fest going a little mainstream here, teaming up with south By for the festival mashup showcase Southwest skank Fest.

Joe Rosa will host The Street Meet, a comedic celebration of food trucks, grease pits and sandwich shops. Love it Joe. We’ll talk about food with creators of some of the country’s greatest common cuisine and a comic or two, which reminds me, I’m hungry. I’m recording this much later than I usually do because I recorded with Mike Chisholm for The Letterman podcast earlier, and I’m running about two hours late, and I gotta go have a sandwich myself. Oh, and Robert Smigel’s down there.
That means another week of me trying to book Robert Smigel on the show and no one getting back to me. Okay, at least he’s like outdoing stuff and not just ignoring me. I can understand if you’re not checking your email while you’re writing the oscars and hanging out at South By Eye, get it. Just want to promote the benefit, that’s all. Not looking to ask you about uh Conan or tryumph for Dana Carvey.
I mean, I’d love to, but it’s not why I’m looking at you on all right.
Also happening this week the Knockouts Women Comedy Festival that actually ki…
Because the first I heard about it was when I put the show together on Monday. And I’ll remind you I put this show together every single day. Now, maybe I’m terrible at it, but you know I do google the words comedy and comedian and go ten pages deep on both searches, and this never came up. So maybe it’s the publicist not me. Ponchi today and I’m in a good mood.
The Knockouts Comedy Festival, which I think is really cool and I would love to talk about it, has kicked off and runs through Saturday with over fifty shows, a dozens of venues in and around at New York City. Comedians include Phoebe Robinson, Lisa Treeger, Emma Willman, Gina Brillan, as well as plenty of local favorites. The Knockouts Women Comedy Festival was born out of a desire to celebrate and amplify the voices of women in comedy and is actively inclusive to those marginalized and underrepresented in the industry, including trans, non binary, and gender fluid comedians of all backgrounds. The co creators put out a statement that said, we believe it’s essential to create spaces where women can sh showcase their talents, share their perspectives, and support one another in a traditionally male dominated field. By hosting the festival during Women’s History Month, we honor the achievements of women throughout history while also highlighting the contributions of contemporary female comedians.
We missed the opening night. They had Knockouts of the week, two stand up comedy shows featuring ten up and comers. Sounds like a really good festival. A nice job on that, Yeah, send me press release. I’ll talk about you in case you missed it.
Because I changed the schedule instead of putting on episode at three oh five am Monday. I actually put it out Sunday night during the Oscars because I figured it’s done and it’s close enough to three in the morning, let me just hit publish on this. But in it, I gave a great review to Shane Gillis’s SNL. So that’s the Sunday Night episode in the feed. That should be the episode before the Mike Chisholm episode.
In case you’re catching up anyway, Bowen Yang is shutting down those rumors that he was responsible for Shane Gillis being fired from SNL. There was a recent Instagram post promoting the show. Someone named Michelle called Shane a bigger man to come host f being unfairly ditched, and alleged that Boone Yang, whom she referred to as a whiny queen, had bitched him off the show. This Michelle person wrote, SNL fired him as a hater. He’s not.
He’s very kind and a smart humor and stands up to bullying. Bow and Yang heard about the comment and replied and noted that Bowen wrote the sketch you were a background actor in. It appears the commenter did appear in a twenty nineteen sketch, Isn’t This fun? That sketch was called Fashion Coward. That sketch features host Emma Stone, Kate McKinnon, and Adye Bryant.
This sketch acts as a fake commercial for a clothing store that sells bland clothing for women. Bowen, Yang, Shane Gillis, and Chloe Feynman were the newly added cast members in twenty eighteen. Shane was dropped after he came under fire last year. Bowen told Variety, I think he and I have done enough things in our careers now to really not have that be the definitive beginning or the thing that casts a Paul over everything else that we do going forward and from Late night er Any excited for Mulaney’s late night show, latenighter dot Com reports the ticket requests are opened through a website one Iota, so the number one, Iota, number one, Iota so one, and then Iota. The recordings are eight consecutive wednesdays starting March twelfth.
Wow, that’s like next week in April thirtieth. That’s right, the show is out next week. I have that in the back of my mind. I have that in the calendar. Absolutely, it’s next week.
The tapings list a five thirty pm audience load in time, with the show scheduled to go live on Netflix at ten eastern seven West. Conan is getting nothing but good reviews. I haven’t seen anything negative about Conan at all, The Independent wrote, for the first time in years, the Oscars seemed to actually enjoy themselves. Sunday ceremony was a celebratory affair and necessary lick of positivity for a city that had weathered destructive wildfires in recent weeks. A brilliant turn by O’Brien and a raft of genuinely very good winners made this the best Oscars in recent history.
My personal favorite in recent history was Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. That was pretty good for the download numbers. I’m mad every time somebody doesn’t get smacked. Sorry, I’m just telling you. I got a podcast to do here and did a good job.
Doesn’t move the numbers. The Atlantic Road. Conan O’Brien understood the assignment. The Oscars host was silly and serious by turns, and delightfully in control of the evening. Yep, well said as soon as Conan O’Brien strode onto the Oscar stage, Sunday night.
He looked like he belonged there. He was self deprecating, telling the crowd to sit down before he continued, even though no one was standing. I’m still mad at Hulu. Did you catch this? So there we are.
Some of us are watching Hulu joining the Oscars, and right in the middle of Best Actress nominees, the screen goes off and we get a thing saying the telecast has concluded, and it never came back on. I don’t know Hulu. When I watch the Oscars, I kind of want to see Best Actress and Best Picture. It’s sort of a big deal. You guys screwed the pooch on that one bad job out of you.
That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. If you’re within your shot of Robert Smigel, yell out hey watching you the Daily Comedies podcast, he wants to promote your charity event. That’d be a cool thing to do.
And if you’re a Hulu publicist, I understand why you’re mad at me right now, because I’m kind of mad at you guys. Do see tomorrow
