The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News on The Daily Beast, Sean McCarthy asks why are male comedians so scared to talk about Louis C.K. Sean wrote a nice opinion piece about that. Some of the paragraphs, Sean writes. Actor Michael Ian Black, who received plenty of pushback online in twenty eighteen when he asked what the parameters might be for Ck or anyone else to make a professional comeback, suggested to filmmakers of Sorry Not Sorry, the Louis K documentary that perhaps people are reluctant to come forward and participate in discussions about c K or me too, because everyone has skeletons in their closet. Sean writes, is that what’s happening here are men in comedy staying silent because they’re worried about what we might find out about them.
Were they submitting to some sort of snitches? Get Stitches bro Code. The New York Times profiled Shane Gillis, Shane is red hot right now, and they write getting fired, paid off. It made Shane Gillis a martyr to some, and he was savvy enough to embrace those fans without tediously obsessing over cancel culture. He said he understood the criticism of his comments, offered a halfhearted apology, then doubled down on lumbering through the China shop of cultural sensitivities.
A comic who tells the crowd he has no female friends isn’t looking to appeal to everyone. Gillis often holds a microphone with two hands, more like a singer than a stand up. His attitude is less telling you the truth about the world and stumbling through the mess of his thought process. His appearance telegraphs rumbled, ordinary guy, not polished entertainer, and he speaks to crowds as if he were messing around with friends. Few comics do more with the word dude and beautiful dogs.
He describes himself as a bit of a history buff, which he calls a sign of early onset Republican. If you’re a white dude in your twenties and thirties and can’t stop reading about World War Two, it’s coming, brother. He compares that to the pull of a person turning into a werewolf. Shane was also recently on Andrew Schultz’s Flagrant podcast and was asked about a recent photo of him and Joe Rogan rolling around. Shane said, I tried to fight Rogan last week.
Whoops. He ripped my shoulder off and I was hammered. So I was like, you can’t tap me, dude, So I kept effing with him. He tapped me like eight times, James, Dude, he kept going. Joe Parra has a new special coming out based on his recent year and a half long tour of places like the Upper Midwest, of the Lower Midwest, Buffalo, Scotland, and Phoenix.
It’s called Joe Parra Slow and Steady. He’s independently financing, producing, and releasing it himself. Let’s let Joe Parra tell you about it. I’m gonna have to clip this down a little bit because it’s quite long. Hello, comedian Joe Perron, and I got something exciting for you.
Stop the winning low Tho Poppers. It’s better. I think it came out real nice. If you want to watch, hopefully laugh a bit and say that was dang good way to spend fifty six minutes at forty one seconds. It’ll be on my YouTube and website Friday, October six, and I hope he’ll consider watching Joe Parra Slow and Steady filmed at the Opera House in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
It’ll be on his YouTube channel October six at eight eastern. While back, BUCkies came up and I remember mentioning that I was unfamiliar with BUCkies, and quite a few audience members wrote into me to be like, oh, you’re totally missing out on BUCkies. While comedian Tim Hawkins has now written a song about Bucky’s whiskey, Riff writes, if you haven’t had a chance to grace a Bucky’s mid road trip, my thoughts are going out to you. While the gas station is mildly overwhelming, at some points, you can’t deny it’s a must stop if you pass the sign for one on the interstate, Bucky says everything you’d ever need, food, drinks, snacks, fresh baked goods, brisket, home to core, apparrel, booze, and so much more. If you told me that BUCkies began to sell fishing rods, I’d believe you.
Let’s listen to what Tim Hawkins has to say. I’ll clip this down a little bit as well. The files also be a nugget, Try a little fuck jerky, adda pulled pork, say it was just because getting lead. The Bowl of Anna, Hoodie pol the Wife pass down, Fried Pat Tapy Hadda die Yes. The Rosy Pek has shoot Bull the Dog, positive encouragement painted on a log, a lentchreprehanda pudding, the Callie Chicken wrap, people of the Journey, a Bucky beavera cab.
What’s up? Fantastic? Uh this next story? Please don’t do this. This came up.
I thought this was dead. This came up years ago, but it’s back. Eddie Murphy is in talks to star as Inspector Clusseaux and a new Ping Panther reboot. There’s just so much wrong there. I won’t even get into it.
But in this version of the Ping Panther, it’ll be a live action CGI hybrid that follows the actual Ping Panther, you know, the panther that’s pink and it’s a cartoon, the actual Ping Panther being broken out of an animated prison by his live action crew for a heist.
And then I guess Eddie Murphy’s Inspector Clusseau would chase just don’t, do…
The San Francisco Gate said that Seth Meyers closed out twenty twenty three’s dream Force conference in San Francisco. Let me tell you about this. I’m wondering how much Seth got paid for this, because he apparently did custom material a forty minutes set at the Moscone West conference Hall. I’ve been in the Mosconi four. They used to have Wonder Cohn, a comicon type event in that building.
That is a big convention center type place. Seth poked funded vaccine holdouts and wedding tropes, plus waxed about parenthood, New York City and his relationship with sports. All right, that sounds like standard material. But he said, what a crazy room this is. This is like a five year old had a birthday party and said they wanted the theme to be forest, And then he corrected himself, said a five year old billionaire.
Myers went on to pick apart corporate language. He made fun of the recurrent use of the words roadmaps and trailblazers in the conference program. You are achieving, you are amplifying, you are accelerating. Architect I saw architect used as a verb. I don’t even think architects used architect as a verb.
If you were to party and you said, what do you do? And someone said, I architect. You would think, no, you don’t. We’re gonna empower, We’re gonna experience, We’re gonna explore. How do we know we’re gonna explore the roadmaps?
This is some event. Kristen Bell introduced Sheng Wang, who guess opened for Seth Myers. What is this event? Seth said he had no fffing idea what Salesforce does, and the crowd roared. All I know is that I’m walking around a carted pond at what is likely the beginning of a pagan ritual and will end with you setting me on fire while you join hands and dance around me in a circle.
Jim Gaffigan was on Bill Moore’s podcast I’m Still picking Away at that. They were discussing relationships in general, and Jim started talking about Prince Harry and Megan Markol. You know them. We talk about them every day on the podcast Palace Intrigue. I’m the writer for that show.
If you want to follow the Royals, Palace Intrigue wherever you give your shows. Jim said, like, if Prince Harry and Megan Marco got divorced right now, people would probably vilify her and feel sorry for him, but we don’t know what’s going on. Bill said, I heard they’re on the rocks when you think that marriage is under a lot of pressure right now because they’re kind of effed up in their whole thing. You know, they kind of went way too hard on we’re victims, and they assess the mood of their generation in America correctly and that we’re lovers of victimhood. But America did finally find a way to say, you know what, we love victims, but you two just had a little too much of it.
Universal Music Group Nashville has a new comedy label, Capitol Comedy Nashville. The first release Nate Brigatsi’s Hello World Audio album now available, means that will be eligible for an Emmy. A suit at UMG said, We’ve been forever link going back to the early days of the Grand Old Opera and classic country shows like Keyhaw, where comedians shared billings with musical acts and helped us laugh at ourselves. I feel there’s no better time to relink our comedy history together with the start of our new label, Capitol Comedy Nashville. I’m all in favor of comedy audio releases on gossip Corner.
Will Pete Davidson wind up with Britney Spears. A source tells reader Online Now that Pete split from Chase Sweet wonders he’d like to make sweet music with Britney. It might not be a pipe dream, after all, she posted one of his goofy Instagram videos last year and admitted it made her laugh. An insider tells The Enquirer Pizza hopeless, romantic and loves having a woman on his arm, but he’s recently sought treatment again for his mental health issues, and Brittany’s navigating her own messy break up. Pal’s worrying neither of them is in the right head space to start a new relationship, and are convinced they’re hooking up would be a recipe for disaster.
From the San Francisco Standard. More than four dozen comedians spent Sunday at Golden Gate Parks Robin Williams Meadow. It was the forty second annual Comedy Day. Sacramento. Comic Johnny Taylor said, you know, I gotta say it’s an honor to perform in the most ideal conditions for stand up comedy outside in broad daylight with kids around, nothing quite like it.
Comedian Karen Braswell said, I can’t wait to walk around and check out the food trucks. I’m just gonna hope there’s a San Francisco micro climate going on over there, and the fish is nice and cold. Connor Lonsdale said, I love Oakland because you see stuff there that you don’t really see anywhere else. The other day, I saw a citybus run a red light. It wasn’t like he missed the yellow or there was like a terrorist making of keep it above fifty miles an hour.
He stopped at the light and he was like, screw this, I’m going I ran it too. I followed him. He didn’t stop at a single stop sign or bus stop. He did stop at the liquor store. And that’s your comedy news for today.
If you like the show, tell a friend about it. Huh. Meet you back here tomorrow. Thanks,
