Caloroga Shark Media. Settle up your horse, because I’m putting together a posse. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. A sentence the algorithm loves. But I don’t have time for that because I am ticked off.
Mike Birbiglia has a podcast. His guest is John Mulaney. Listen to this crap. I’ve edited this for pacing, but listen to this. What do you think when people like rip off your voice in your style?
Dude, I’ve heard they do, but I don’t. I can’t think of anyone that does. We know who did? I don’t. Actually, you want to write it down?
I write the first letter. Oh I’m not that familiar with that person. Okay, but I I’ll check it out. I just watched it the other day. I was like, come on, interesting, Okay, what are we doing?
That’s cool though, I guess, of course it’s cool. Okay, how’d you feel about people that ripped you off? Well, there’s two or three. Do you like it? That’s fine?
Yeah, it’s fine, all right, John Mulaney and Mike Brobiglia who are we accusing of stealing John Mulaney’s act. Now they didn’t name names, but one comedian thinks it’s him. Let’s go to Friend of the Show and twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year John Marco SERAISI. This clip has some salty language, and I’ve trimmed it a lot for pacing. But let’s let John Marco way in on this.
There is something that we need to talk about. I don’t I don’t want to name names, so I’m gonna I’m gonna write it down on a piece of paper and and uh, let’s so there’s a person I want to talk about. Oh, how about a big ass p to quote my fa favorite comedian John Mulaney. I when I when I first started a stand up, like when I really like made that decision, I saw micro Biglia did a show at the Bellhouse and it was this. It was so cool because it was him working out new material like he he hosted it and then he had comments going between who were doing like the Real Killer, like just set and then he came out and was working on new material.
In fact, I would say that was very much inspiration for my my silver lining show. So I’m stealing from you too, buddy. I I wish I could go back in time to that Bellhouse show and just whisper in my ear one day one of those comedians on stage is going to talk shit about you to another one of those comedians on stage on a podcast. So so I I was on a plane. Great, that’s a great place to get news that hurts your feelings on a play.
Just perfect. And I think it was two weeks ago, maybe Pete Holmes I went on on Working it Out for Bigli’s podcast, Working it Out I believe that’s what it’s called, which I’m subscribed to. Yeah, And and people said, hey, Jamarca got a shout out I’m working it Out and you go, oh cool, cool cool, and Pete Holmes was talking about just good JFL sets and and and mentioned Shane Gillis and and me, and it was very nice.
And then I went on the Patreon just to make sure all the episode, the new epi…
It’s someday. Once once every cast member of SNL has made an appearance. I’m so excited. And and it was it was basically they were talking about shit talking and Bigliy was like, well, people, how do you feel when people rip you off or copy you? And and he said, he said, oh, there’s one person, and he said, you know, write it down.
And so he took out a piece of paper and wrote a name of someone who’s who he says, ripping off uh milleniey and showed him.
And now let me just let me just say, because someone planted it in my ear, li…
If who else could it be? Who else is ripping off John Mulaney more than me? John Marco ripping off John Mulaney, as the kids say, GTFO with that. The only time I ever put in a Lane and Tron Marco together in my brain was when John Marco was on this show and slipped into a Millenie impression when he was deliberately doing mulleni Yes, he was doing Mullenie, but day to day I don’t hear it at all. Mike Provilian John Mlaney again, GTFO with that noise Speaking of John Mulaney, he was part of the Best Thing Ever Creative Platforms campaign during the Super Bowl.
Apparently this came and went. I didn’t catch win of it until I was putting the show together. John Mulaney was providing commentary on Super Bowl commercials in real time and shared on social media. Here’s John Mulaney commenting on the Polar Bear commercial. Kraft Mac and Cheese is better than commercials with Polar Bears.
We’re ready to enjoy in ten minutes. Those Polar Bears show up eight hours before rolling to get into hair and makeup. Then they have their squads, all the people that hang around them. You have to get a trailer for them, and not a half trip. You’ve got to get a full banger.
Then they’re going to go over the contract midway through the shooting bill. I didn’t agree to scarf read of sunglasses. It’s a nightmare. It’s why I left the Bins, Craft Back and Cheese. Best thing ever?
Wait, was that, John Marcos Sarasi, No, it wasn’t. You know how I know because it wasn’t funny. Get out of here for Biggs and Malini. Get out of here with that. Michael Chay, He and Colin Jost were in a commercial.
People are upset at them that they were promoting sports gambling. Michael Chay on Instagram posted, look, I got a mortgage, which I get. I also have heating bills. You guys can hate on the commercials all you want, but I got I Have you seen my heating bill? This I’m not doing a bit, Holy cow, and February is gonna be worse.
I can’t take the cold anymore. Man, It’s gonna end at heart. I’m Jimmy Buffett. All right, while we’re on our horses, while we’ve got a posse together, let’s keep riding and head on over to NBC headquarters. I saw this on the Facebook group of the Letterman podcast NBC’s turning one hundred.
They did this video montage of all the great things that ever happened on NBC. You know, things like Marcelo Hernandez, he’s in the video. Things like heroes, Yeah, heroes out of one hundred years of NBC. You’re picking heroes that made the video. You know who did not make the video?
David Letterman, are you kidding me? You put Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing one thing, well but one thing only in this video, and you don’t put David Letterman GTFO. As the kids say. On Netflix today, Kat Williams as a new special. It’s his fourth for the streamer.
It’s titled The Last Report. In The Last Report, Kat Williams delivers bold takes on conspiracy celebrities in the world at large. Looking forward to that one. Jim Gaffigan’s got a new gig. He will be in a movie called New England Toys.
New England Toys is a mysterious period thriller that has already started filming in Buffalo, New York. It is unclear what year or decade of the film takes place in.
Speaking of Jim Gaffigan, the folks over at Breaking Bourbon dot Com reviewed…
Now, I was like, what’s SRP? That brought me to SRP whiskey dot com. I’m sorry if the rest of you are like John, everyone knows what this is uh, for the one person who doesn’t. SRP Whiskey is a base platform where visitors to the site can review retail pricing for most whiskeys on the market. All right, so Gaffigan charging two hundred and thirty bucks for this thing?
Yeah. Breaking Bourbon tells us Nose Orange, Zest, Summer Fruits, peacht medicinal undertone, the palette, stewed fruits, kettle corn, raspberry jam, brown sugar, baking spices on the back end, the finish raspberry, honey, orange, rined, dried apricot, and lingering spice, which I almost misread as linger a spice, which would be differently interesting. Breaking Bourbon tells us for their fourth release in the series, Father Time, Precious Batch, Bourbon, Empty Nester Strength, fourth and long great title Jim is a solid release from a celebrity brand that is just getting started. Gaff again is planning five releases in this series. Wait and or up to number forty.
Think he’ll stop. I don’t think he’ll stop, with each release representing one of his five children, though they are not personally identified with each release, As Gaffkin states, while I was thrilled to know a new child was on the way, a fear of uncertainty overtook me like a football team facing fourth and long. Parenting is hard, raising three kids is exponentially harder, but much like going forward on fourth down, when you make it, there’s a feeling of invincibility. The same principles that inspire the previous versions of father Time have also guided the creation of our new release, Fourth and Long. The endeavor is still just me and stew tasting barrels and putting together a smooth and delicious bourbon.
Each bottle is personally signed by me, which was a pain in the ass, but totally worth it. Much like Fatherhood. Maybe that explains the two hundred and thirty dollars breaking bourbon tells it’s it’s refreshing to see his bourbon brand from a celebrity who not only enjoys the spirit, but is actively involved with its creation at the ground level. Based on this, I’m excited to see what Father Burban does next. The sample use for this review is provided to us at no cost courtesy its respective company.
We thank them for a longest review with no strings attached. This next story is sad. I’m going to drop a bomb in you to just be prepared, and then the story after it. I have a very fun story. Okay, so but this is about to get really sad.
Just you’ve been warned I should not do this story. This story is not fun at all. It’s not funny at all. It’s not even comedy. But it’s core to who I am.
As I tell people who know me, there’s just like a handful of things you have to know about me that explain everything about me. One of them which I’ll share with you right now. Again, nothing funny here. This is about to get really sad. Actually, when I was a young boy, like four years old, my first dog did not live very long and that has affected me my entire life.
So I am bothered by this story from the puppy Bowl. To just see this story from the puppy bowl, this is heartbreaking and I can’t shake it, and I have to talk about it to get it out of my system. One of the puppies was Teagan. Teagan I was born with neurological issues and a severely curved spine and almost died from pneumonia shortly after arriving at Connecticut Animal Sanctuary. Perfect Imperfections Rescue, And here’s all these clips and they’re on social media and you see this dog and like, you can’t look away.
And I kept looking and I was like, oh God, bless you dog. So I wake up on Monday, all right, this is I’m going to drop a bomb on you. Hit stop. I’m about to drop a bomb. I learned from the New York Post.
Tigan the puppy died three months ago before the Puppy Bowl or Tigan, whose life was hard enough anyway, became severely ill with pneumonia. The sanctuary said in a Facebook post it will be bittersweet to see her on TV. So I see this on Monday morning and I’m like, yikes. I realized this is supposedly a comedy podcast. So I don’t know what to do.
There’s a sanctuary called Perfect Imperfections Rescue. I’ll probably make a donation, and I donate to several several animal charities. Again, I was unfamiliar with any of this until like four pm on Sunday, but I have it open here and I see you can make some donations, and I’m actually going to do that. So some good comes out of Teakan’s short time on this planet. Okay, now, how do you get out of that.
John, Let me tell you about Adam Sandler. Remember last week I told you a story and as the story goes, Adam Sandler’s daughter was there trying to buy a handbag and the people were mean and all that. Well, Adam Sandler has commented on this. Adam Sandler was at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and he went out of his way to say, by the way, there’s something on the internet talking about that dumb thing. I’ve been hearing about this thing, and I saw it and it’s just insane.
It’s just this made up, weird thing that people ask me about and I’m just like, I’ve never heard of this in my life. That story was one hundred percent insane and made up, and not a word of it is true. Sandler said he was sent the TikTok video by a friend who asked him what happened. Sandler said that video’s nonsense, but other videos of him getting in and out burger late at night were true. Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, so to talk about her, we shall.
She was on Instagram posted some more pictures. In one of the captions, she addressed her increased social media presence and admitted that it’s due to her feelings wrong and beautiful. Finally, the success of her health and weight loss journey. Amy Schumer wrote, picks of Yourself when you’re finally feeling strong and beautiful or not a cry for help. They’re a celebration of life and health.
Love to the single moms out there. Verdaz commenting on Twitter about Bad Bunny, I thought Bad Bunny was fantastic? Did the people who were upset about Bad Bunny were crazy to begin with? Now? Do I normally drive around listening to Bad Bunny’s music.
I don’t, But in terms of a halftime show, I thought it was fantastic and I was highly entertained. Verr DAEs posted, It’s kind of weird to complain about not knowing the words to a Bad Bunny song and saying it’s soun American when most of you don’t know the words to the Second Amendment either. Ouch. Remember the comedy club from like two weeks ago, maybe it was at this point there was a comedian who had said jerky things about the two people in Minnesota who were murdered. Well, Camp Barrs Laugh Camp Comedy Club has announced the benefit show featuring local comics aimed at covering losses for the staff who didn’t make any money because of the six canceled shows.
Club owner Bill Collins tells Bring Me the News that tonight’s benefit aims to cover lost wages and tips for staff, which includes bartender’s tech and box office crew. An The extra will go towards helping the club recover from potential legal fees and approximately eighteen thousand dollars that the comedian’s management company CAA says the club needs to pay for the canceled shows. Club owner Collins says comedians quickly reached out with offers to perform the benefit show. The lineup for tonight, which promises a few surprises I’ll come back to that includes Kadisha Cooper, Pierre Douglas, Maggie Farris, Ben Katzner, Rick Logan, Pearl Rose, sent Thel Regis, Karen, Tommy Ryman, and James Stanley. Now, I was hoping one of the surprises would be Dave Chappelle, but Dave’s not scheduled to be in town until the sixteenth.
The Moontower Comedy Festival announced more people to the lineup. Newcomers to the schedule include Meg Statler, Sarah Sherman, Lucy Dorling, Jennifrieman, and Murray Hill Moontower ten plus venues in downtown Austin from April seventh through the nineteenth.

They don’t do solo shows.
I don’t think I’ve never heard of one of the Sclars doing a show. And we’re going alphabetical by first name, so I’m assuming we’re going to get to Randy Scalark, Jay Jorden, Katherine Blandford, remember that name, She’s fantastic. In fact, we have Mike from the Letterman Podcast on assignment at the JFL Vancouver Comedy Festival. Go see Katherine Leslie Jones, who could be in Comedy Survivor Trouble. Oh I didn’t tell about Comedy Survivor Jay Leno voted off.
