Caloroga Shark Media. Man, there’s so much going on. I could seriously pre tape next week and tating next week off. I’ve been bouncing so many stories. I am Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News.

Netflix just dominating everything. And if you listen, last week, I was doing a lot of stories about Jerry Seinfeld. I appreciate someone who’s self aware. Listen to this clip. I’ve trimmed it down a little bit for pacing and to get to the good stuff.

But here, enjoy this, guys. Oftentimes when an actor is promoting a new movie, let’s say a Netflix movie, they have to do a lot of press, sometimes too much press. Here to comment is a man who did too much press. Oh my god, I gotta stop. Yeah, you’ve you’ve kind of been everywhere.

I mean, I’ve seen you. You’ve been. I even saw you on Rich eisen I wasn’t on Rich Eyson, No, you were. I saw it. I like Rich Eyeson.

I find him accessible. Yeah. Yeah, it’s a sports show. I know I know that now so well for the viewers, how does someone know that they’re doing excessive press? Well, that’s the thing you don’t know.

I mean until someone who cares about you, shows you a video package and you see yourself with people with these names Hoda Morocca, Chanel Vlad And I know I can’t undo all the press I’ve done, but I want to help other people. If you’re struggling with press, you’re not alone. I’m talking to you, Ryan Gosling. When I started doing press ron Frost that I was like, you funny, good looking. Now look at me.

Do you think this is how I wanted to spend my twenty sixth birthday. Nice job, Jerry. So yesterday I published a bonus episode. In the bonus episode, I discussed at length the roast of Tom Brady, What an amazing event. I also discussed Kat Williams, and I gave you short shrift to Bin.

I realized after I published it. When I read the substack version of the podcast, I’m like, oh, I probably should have actually talked about Mulaney on this podcast, So let me do that right now. Friday night, I watched John Mulaney Everybody’s Live in LA and for the first ten to fifteen minutes I thought eighties letterman had come back to me. And I’m talking about the very very early Lucy Goosey brown set, not the blue set, the brown set David Letterman, when you’d get a lot of Chris Elliot and a lot of Larry Budd Melman. John came out, he looks great with the longer hair, did a nice monologue, did the equivalent of a desk piece about the neighborhoods of Los Angeles, although he was technically standing.

And then Jerry Seinfeld comes out, and I’m watching this and I’m like, give this guy a late night show right now. This is amazing again, Lucy Goosey. They did a field bit where they had a guy up in the hill somewhere waiting for coyotes. The bit kind of went nowhere and fell flat in that very funny early eighties Letterman way of we’re just throwing stuff to see what happens. Conan kind of had that vibe on his Late show, and I’m loving it.

Right I’m thinking, sign Milleniu up. So Jerry comes out and he’s paired up with a coyote expert. This is Friday Night Show, not Last Night with John Stewart, which is weird and quirky. Now the coyote guy who’s sitting there with Jerry Seinfeld and John Mulaney held his own and was entertaining. Jerry’s doing the what the hell is this show kind of vibe and it’s just fun.

And now the mistakes started to happen. Somebody decided it was a good idea to take a live call. Now. I have worked in audio radio, podcasting, satellite broadcasting since nineteen ninety two, professionally since nineteen eighty seven, including college. I will tell you this, civilians cannot tell a story.

If you’re doing say, political talker radio, which I’ve done, you coach the caller to get right to their point, and I’m telling you, after the first sentence it’s diminishing returns and hang up on the caller and get the ball back to your host. So Netflix’s producer decided, okay, we’ve got John Mulaney and Jerry Seinfeld, let’s take a call from a civilian. And this nice woman starts telling her coyote story, but she doesn’t know how to tell a story, and Jerry’s trying to save it, and it goes on and on and on, and I’m like, you have Jerry Seinfeld sitting there, what are you doing. They finally hang up with her and they don’t have commercials. It’s Netflix, so they throw it to a prepackaged thing where I don’t even remember who.

It was, a bunch of comedians going house hunting. The packaged bit was so bad that I went upstairs and started talking to my wife. That’s not a rip at my wife. I was just like, not in Eddie, hurry to get back to the TV. By the time I came back downstairs, Seinfeld was gone, and I’m like, you had Jerry Seinfeld and you wasted it on a caller, and now Jerry’s gone.

What are you doing? That said? I think there’s a lot of potential in Milaney as a late night host. And by late night, I mean yeah, ten pm on Netflix, maybe even a little earlier for US East Coast people like to go to bed Hi. I think that would be fantastic.

I’m not sure we need five nights a week. That’s a lot of content to consume here in the mid twenties. But if you gave me Mulanie, I don’t know, Monday to Thursday, Tuesday to Thursday, three times a week, keep it short, maybe do a tight forty five minutes, I think it could be really good. My other note to John Mulaney and the producers. Teach this to my college students.

I teach this professionally as a broadcasting executive. Johnny Carson had it right. When you have a good guest, shut up and let your guest be funny. The anecdotal example is Johnny would have on, say Burt Reynolds. Burt Reynolds would tell a great story.

Johnny would sit there and laugh, and the next day at work everybody would say, did you see Carson. So John Mulaney, you’re very funny yourself, But when Jerry Seinfeld sitting there, just shut up, stay out of the way, and definitely don’t take calls anyway. Mullanie a lot of potential, A lot of potential hasan minaj at the Netflix Festival said We’ve all failed at our lives. But if you ever failed so bad that you bring back John Stewart is a great joke. He said, I saved a dying institution.

You’re welcome. John himself performed at the Netflix is a Juket Festival. This from the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. John played the Greek Theater Friday Night, six thousand seats outdoors. Ricky Valez opened and Ricky Set.

He talked about having a Jewish wife, a friend who has four dads, which is one dad away from an Ocean’s eleven movie, being a nineties kid, Dodgeball and Joe Biden. Next up Josh Johnson from The Daily Show. He commented on the surroundings. The Greek Theater has a really good view, and he said not every show’s like this, and he talked about staying in a hotel with friends, companies pretending to be your friend, and deconstructing KFC. Mike Birbiglia.

Next up is set per the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. Consisted of imagining his daughter as a fifteen year old, his daughter doing ballet, and his marriage. Sarah Silverman then kept her set pretty tight. She said she’s in the process of starting over after releasing a special last year that is a pretty good special if you haven’t seen it. She admitted she was working out material that her topics included what it’s like to be on tour, a fly sketch she wrote for Phil Hartman on SNL and targeted ads.

Musical act Gary Clark Junior came up and did four songs that makes me go huh why with the eight hundred pound. Grella said it was a fun way to break up the comedy and a special treat to see him play a mini concert. Okay, we Les came back out and introduced John Stewart instead. Jimmy Kimmel walked out. He did about a minute and joked about what it’s like to visit John Stewart’s home.

Kim Old joked, what is Netflix getting out of the festival? This is six thousand people not home watching Netflix. That’s a good joke. John Stewart came out, his hair whiter than when he left The Daily Show, and he said, this is what I look like now. He joked about how aging is a humbling process, how he tore his rotator cuff, and how he to use his reading glasses to entertain himself.

He also talked about the presidential candidates, a dehydrated Mitch McConnell, and voters flipping from Obama to Trump, which reminds me to plug the Ballot podcast. We’re putting that out five days a week, sometimes seven days a week, depending on what the candidates do. That’s been a lot of fun lately. Ballot wherever he shows BA double lot, We’ve realized people don’t know how to spell ballot. Even on the back end, we spelled it with two te’s.

Stewart talked about anti Semitism issues, what the anti woke will get to that in a second, and a bit about buying an AR fifteen to test gun restrictions. Eight hundred pound Gorilla said an evening of comedy that cannot be missed. As for the anti wokeness, John questioned, what are you losing? You can’t say anything anymore? What do you want to say?

Shut the f up? And by the way, people who talk about anti woker the biggest efing wises you’ll ever find. I’m just so tired of it, the woke stuff. You lose nothing. I’m a comedian.

I’ve lost two words in thirty five years. Honestly, are you that unimaginative that you can’t figure it out? I don’t Liberals say, don’t say Joe Biden is old. Don’t say what people see with their own eyes. You could say it, he can’t hear us.

I know you know how efing old he is. I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so effing old when you watch him on television. You’re nervous, aren’t you. I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president. Wanda Sykes returned to the Dolby Theater for the first time since two thousand and two, and she joked, I bet you don’t remember I was here that night.

That night in question the oscars. You may have heard about this Will Smith incidents. Yes, the eight hundred pound Gorilla was at that show too. They’ve got good credentials and more free time than I have. I would have loved to have hit this thing.

Her opener Keith Robinson. Keith has had two strokes. He is aided by a cane, and he talked about how his life has changed and even had fun with the crowd. Wanda Sykes came out, talked about the Oscars. She talked about turning sixty married life for time management, the writer strike, the importance of voting, and why she stopped drinking so much.

Gorilla writes, if you’ve only seen Sykes in her specials and haven’t seen her live yet, we definitely recommend it next time she’s in a city near you. There’s a certain energy in the room that can’t be replicated, even in the best stand up special from The Daily Beast. Ted Cruz not happy with Tom Sigora. Ted Cruz was on Megan McCain’s podcast. They discussed a bit in Tom Sigora’s special Sledgehammer where Sigoura says Ted Cruise is his neighbor and that Ted Cruise once asked him about the origin of the word mf R.

It’s complete fiction. It’s utterly made up. I’ve never met the guy. I’ve sadly watched it on Twitter. It’s twisted and deranged, and it’s complete fiction, which of course means every lefty believes it’s true because it’s horrible about me, and he just made it up and got some laps from lefties who hate me.

Remember the man who rushed the stage during Dave Chappelle’s performance at the Netflix Festival two years ago. That man has fired a lawsuit that alleges security officers and members of Chappelle’s entourage beat him, ruthlessly, dislocated his shoulder, and spat on him for CBS News. The man in question identifies as bisexual and was offended by Dave Chappelle’s jokes relating to the LGBTQ community. He was arrested after the attack and held on charges of mister meter counts a battery and possession of a weapon with intent to assault after police discovered he had a replica handgun containing a knife in his possession. The lawsuit claims the Hollywood Bowl and the security company had hired had a duty to exercise reasonable care.

It is unclear how much he’s suing for. Let’s see what’s happening at the Netflix Festival today, nine am. The Two Bears five K, seven point thirty Seth Rogan Smokes The Bowl seven thirty. Conan O’Brien needs a Friend, Ali Wong at seven. That one just added.

Hannah Gatsby and close personal acquaintance is at seven. The Gods of Comedy with David Letterman at seven thirty. Not sure who are the Gods of comedy, but I’m intrigued. I’m a big Letterman fan. As you’ve probably picked up sold Out Asian Nation with Nigel Ang and that’s at seven.

Most shows aren’t listed as sold out, so it’s interesting that that one is. What’s this seven and nine? Low Key Comedy show? Low Key Comedy at the Troubadour Adam Ray, Francisco ramos Ian Edwards also surprise guest. That’s low key comedy.

Kind of enjoying low key comedy because I just recorded the bonus episode and we’re like fifteen seventeen minutes into this one, and my voices shot, can I stay at this cadence instead? I’m usual, Hey, I’m Johnny Mac. Can I just stay here? Seven o’clock, Sam Campbell, two shows, Joe Kim Boosters seven and nine forty five, Donnell Rawlings at seven boy this is some festival. They are just crushing it.

I got to turn a pack on, don’t I. Yeah, I’m starting to just drown here. Seven thirty Sophie Bottle and a bunch of other shows I didn’t tell you about. Let’s see what’s at Sydney. I will pull clips today because I want to go have a soda.

Any Boyle show is called any Are You? Oh? Okay? Love it? The Sydney Arts Guide four star is easily reminded of Flea Bag with an elegant dash of Annie Hall.

All right, that sounds good. That’s all I can tell you about that show. There’s no clips, no other reviews. Billy Williams You’re So Brave Billy Williams says comedy is hard. Don’t believe it.

Then come to You’re So Brave Billy Williams and watch her trying new jokes for the first time as well as old jokes, as well as she tells you why she is so brave. Apparently she is a New Yorker. Come for the comedy, stay for the drinks, and eventually be asked to leave because look, it’s three am. Love it. There seems to be a really strong scene of women comedians south of the equator.

We got to get this up here. I’ve been accused in the past of only talking about men comedians. Here in the Northern hemisphere, especially in North America, the male comedians are dominating the scene. That’s why I talk about them. Please note, because I am sensitive about this, go back and listen to the last month of shows and listen to the names that I’ve brought up.

What a great scene down there. We really need to get that up here. And my voice is shot, I’m gonna stop talking. That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it too. If you would like these episodes ad free. Become a paid subscriber to Caloroga Shark Media Plus, open up the Apple Podcast app, and I’ll put it right in front of you. For ninety nine month, you’ll get this and the other shows on the network add free. As I’ve been mentioning, I can’t preload it for three o’clock.

But I have a meeting on the calendar to talk about that to fix that. But in the meantime, I can’t post the ad free version of this until I get up in the morning. And on Monday, I had to drive my kid to school and I didn’t get it up till about seven fifty five in the morning. With the bonus episode I put out right away because I was already out of bed. But again I have to publish it on the main feed, wait for it to clear Apple Podcast customs, and then when I see it and go, oh, here’s the ad free version.

Very convoluted. All right, I’m gonna stop talking. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media phonus episode about the roast of Tom Brady and all the great stuff from Netflix over the weekend. The regular episode from Monday is earlier in this feed. I’m just talking as I think here, so this will be a little more free form than usual. But Wow, I mean in the Roast of Tom Brady, what keeps going through my head was the super Bowl of comedy. If they ever did that again and made the comedian list a little bit stronger.

You add a Chappelle or a Melaney to that day asn’t wow. But boy, great job Netflix. Oh my goodness, what an amazing special three hours roasting Tom Brady. I kept notes. I shared the notes as we went along in the Facebook group.

I’ve got a notepad here. Where do we start? Kevin Hart Man crushed it now. On previous podcasts, I have said that I don’t find Kevin Hart all that funny. Sunday Night, Kevin Hart you were awesomely funny.

He’s slate as far as I’m concerned. Let him host all of these for now. On Wow, Kevin opened by saying they were already roast the greatest quarterback of all time, and then said, wait, Joe Montana is here some good lines from Kevin. I’ve never seen Englewood so white. It’s so bleeping white in here.

It looks like a Bruce Springsteen concert. Just let out. Kevin joked about why they were doing it in the Forum and not the Crypto dot com arena. Kevin said, the reason we didn’t go there is we didn’t want to remind Tom’s fans of how much money he owes them. He f those people fing good, didn’t he?

But the joke I kept misquoting to my wife. That really stuck with me. Kevin Hart with an absolute sleigh, and some people were like, Tom Brady might regret doing this. Kevin said, single life is what you deserve because you had no choice. Jesse Elle said, you retire, We’re done.

Let me tell you something. When you got a chance to go eight and nine and all all the costumes, your wife and kids, you gotta do what you gotta do. You know what that’s called, Tom, That’s called real stuff f them kids. Wow. All right, So Kevin crushes passes over to Jeff Ross.

Ross walks out in an O J Simpson jersey that said, roast Jay Simpson at number thirty two. Jeff Ross a pro at this the roast master right, so he crushes, So we’re two for two in hilarious. Next up was Drew Bledsoe. Drew Bledsoe the quarterback of the Patriots before Tom Brady. He was really good.

I assume Jeff Ross and the writers wrote Drew’s material, but he executed it really well. And as the night went on and we had other non comedians performing, it really showed what a good performer Drew Bledsoe was. Nicky Glazer got up and I wrote the note that the first few minutes it sounded like she was executing someone else’s material. They just sounded to my ear like Jeff Ross jokes. But then Nicky got in the groove and got some of the best reactions of the night.

One of hers lays, Seriously, Tom, you’re the best to ever play. For too long, you were tired, you came back, then you’re retired again. I get it. It’s hard to walk away from something that’s not yourgnant girlfriend. She tagged that with Hey, to be fair, he didn’t know she was pregnant.

He just thought she was getting fat. Wow. Next up Randy Moss wide receiver. That was the first lull of the night. Okay, we understand.

Kim Kardashian got up, She was booed, she added nothing. She sounded like she was executing Jeff Ross jokes. That makes sense. Bert Krascher and Tom Segura got up together and had really uncomfortable energy. They were doing that side to side rock that you’ll see high schoolers do when they’re on a stage in front of their classmates.

Sagora landed some jokes. Bert Kraser ate it, as they say in the business. I don’t know what was going on there. Sam Jay was all right. I actually wrote time to get the ball back to Kevin Hart.

There started to be a lull there. Will Ferrell came out as Ron Burgundy. As I wrote on Facebook, Will Ferrell has been coasting on reputation for over a decade now. Will was not funny to the point that I wrote in my notes, Bill Belichick was funnier than Will Ferrell, Bill Strong material, whoever wrote it, he just wasn’t that good at delivering it, but still funnier than Will Ferrell doing the thing. Will.

I don’t know then, what a nice spotlight for Tony Hinecliff. If you don’t know Tony and kill Tony. You’re going to Now this probably really elevated that whole thing he crushed. They did a bit of kill Tony called kill Tommy. They pulled a name out of the hat.

There was one name in the hat. It was Dana White from the UFC. Dana was pretty tight. Tony facing backlash over a joke about Kim Kardashian and brother New York Post. As the post points out, Hingecliff, known for insul comedy, was discussing the Will Ferrell movie Anchorman and it’s famous whales vagina line.

The controversial joke from Tony Hinchcliff wales vagina, which reminds me Kim Kardashian’s here. She’s had a lot of black men celebrating her end zone Kim word of advice, closer legs. Then he got a little too naughty for this podcast. One social media user wrote, slutsha women in front of a crowd of people and making women the butt of a joke for absolutely no reason is so disrespectful And what’s the punchline? Misogyny?

It’s a roast, That’s what a roast is. Then grunk got up. He had some okay material. I wrote, working too fast, but he’s not a comic. Andrew Schultz, then Krush showing what a pro can do.

Very fun, great pacing. Robert Kraft spoke, didn’t really make too many jokes. Ben Affleck awful, he was really boring. I actually facebook posted give Affleck the light. The light being the thing they do in the back of a comedy club telling a comedian it’s time to wrap it up after Affleck set, Jeff Ross jokes this is the only time I wish Netflix had commercials.

People were making fun of ben afflex bad plastic surgery. One person tweeted Ben Affleck’s face looks insane. Another person wrote, ben Affleck couldn’t afford good plastic surgery. No wonder he seems so angry that’s permanent. His set did not go overwhell some comments on social ben Affleck going on an unhinged rant about fans on social media at the Tom Brady Rose was not on my bait card.

Another fan compared it to a car crash. A third said, next time, get somebody else to do it. Don’t ever invite Ben Affleck again. I doubt we’ll have Ben Affleck at the roasta of Donald Trump or whatever the next thing is. Peyton Manning got up, had some good material.

He worked his material too quickly. Same note I’ve said before, he’s not a comedian, so I get it.

And then Tom Brady himself got up.

Brady had the delivery of a high school valedictorian, but the material was pretty good. He shot back at everyone. Peyton Manning, thank you so much for coming out to LA to do this. I know you sometimes live in Denver and sometimes you live in Louisiana, but you’ll always live in my shadow. That was pretty good.

On Kevin Hard. I’ve heard some people talk about me having bad knees. My knees are so messed up, Kevin, because I spent so many hours on the floor begging Netflix to get CHAPPELLEO. Ho’s this good rip on Kim, Thank you so much for being here. I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight, not because of this, but because their kids are home with their dad.

That a Kanye West joke. In case you didn’t follow Tom making big NFL news that I’m sure is going to be analyzed, he said, remember to flight Gate, the NFL spent twenty million dollars and found it was more probable than not that I was generally aware that someone may have deflated my footballs. You could have just given me the twenty million dollars and I would have just told you I often did it. But then Tom Brady made this horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. Here.

Let’s listen, Kansas City. You say your stadium is the loudest. It helps when all your fans are fourteen year old girls. Oh man, that is so mean. I feel bad for Taylor.

Everybody always making jokes about her all the time, and they’re so vicious. Tom tag that with a joke about the chiefs eras terrible for fifty years, good for five. I’m skimming my notes here to see what I missed. A good one from Tom Sigora and Bert Krasier. I forget which one of them said this joke, but the line was the only difference between Tom Brady and Hitler is that Hitler stuck with his wife until the end.

Ouch. That’s great. Oh, here’s the Dana White joke from Andrew Schultz. That’s who it was from. That’s why Dana White is here so you can learn how to screw a Brazilian out of half their purse.

Before the event, Tom Brady said, it’s like a football game. You run over with a game plan, then you gone and see how the stratguy goes and you’re just in the fly. This is what a locker room’s been like for me all these years, so it’s not like I’m used to people not making fun of me. There was a weird moment that’s gonna be talked about a lot. Jeff Ross had made a reference to Patriots owner Robert Kraft getting a massage.

Brady walked up to Ross and said in his ear, don’t say that stuff again. It was caught on the microphone and it was awkward. I’m sure someone will dive into that, and I’m sure the spin will be that Tom was kidding. Yeah, huh. Some people thought we were gonna have a Will Smith moment.

That would have been amazing, because that moment was I don’t know, fifteen minutes in at a special That would have been great to see a Will Smith moment, and then two and a half hours of awkwardness. Good joke by Tom Brady about Peyton Manning when I heard there was a slow white Bronco heading down the four or five to come here tonight. I thought we might actually see a real football legend. Kevin Art said, I love he’s embracing the things that some people thinks he runs away from. It’s a celebration of great and we’re doing it in a fun way.

Right, let’s take the break, we’ll come back, We’ll taw Kat Williams, Seinfeld and Mulaney. I was all jazzed to watch Kat Williams, and I finally got to watch it Sunday around six thirty. So it was a nice appetizer for the Tom Brady. It was okay, back to the whole special verse hour thing. I felt Kat Williams felt special.

It was live, a big, good looking theater. The set, the physical set looked great. It looked like an event. I don’t know what I was looking for from Cat. Maybe I just wanted him to just tear everybody down.

He didn’t really do that. I found it really compelling. I was definitely entertained. He is an entertainer. I’m not sure how funny the special was.

And as I watched it, I noticed Kat will set up jokes for a full forty five seconds and get an ok punchline. It’s more style than laughs, but I do enjoy watching him. I did add it to my best of twenty twenty four list, which right now number one. Roast of Tom Brady to a Tel three, Triumph, four Days, Cross, five, Dusty Sleigh, six Canines, seven to Meet You more Than eight, Jimmy Carr nine, Kat Williams ten, Hannah Gatsby’s gender agenda. For the top tier, I’d probably draw the line after David Cross.

All Right, Tom Brady, Attel, Triumph, and David Cross are your top tier right now. I’ve said this three four times already this year, that it’s gonna be hard to top X. I thought Cross was great, and then Triumph was better, and then Detail showed you how it’s done. But that roast of Tom Brady three hours, and I’ve talked about how I’m a comedy snob and I don’t laugh at stuff. I was chuckling out loud most of the night.

Will be really tough to beat anyway. Kat Williams, it was fine. I took notes to see what else I wrote. I do want to point out I watched the edited version, not the live version. I’m not sure if that mattered.

He started heading for trans material and I was like, really, can we just not do that? That’s really it, Kat Williams. It was fine, watchable, you’ll enjoy it. I watched the Pop Tarts movie Unfrosted. I loved it.

Actually, I need to add that to the list. That was really good as well, really enjoyable. I’m not sure. I don’t. I’ll think about where I’m gonna add it, but I’m gonna just leave myself a note to at it while I have my best of list open.

I like a movie that knows what it is, and that movie knows what it is. It’s silly, turn your brain off. Nothing there is real. It’s just a lot of fun. There’s some amazing cameos.

There’s one cameo in particular with two people who are known to work together, and I don’t want to spoil it. You may have seen it on the interwebs and I was like, this is great. Jerry’s fine in it. Jim Gaffigan looked like he was five minutes from dying. So I mentioned over the weekend he’s apparently taking ozempic equivalent and I can see why.

I don’t know if they padded him up. He looks terrible in the movie. My wife randomly blurted out that Amy Schumer’s unlikable. You could send her notes. There’s something about Amy Man I don’t know.

She’s fine in it. Jerry doing Jerry things. I loved Hugh Grant in it. I felt he was chewing the scenery. It reminded me of Ricardo Montleban and Star Trek to the Wrath of Kahn.

Just a great performance, having fun over the top. Unfrot I recommend I know on the normal episode that it went out earlier. Today I read a bunch of terrible reviews. I disagree with all of them. I think Unfrosted nailed it.

In Towner reminds me of Weird the Al Yankovic story. Just a fun rop one hour thirty six, which by the way, is the perfect length for any movie.

---

And then the other thing I watched was John Mulaney Friday Night.

I’ll be curious to see what they do tonight. I actually wrote a substack about it. The substack is free. The link is in the notes, and if you want to read what I wrote, just you know, just open that up. You can subscribe for free, or you can just hit no thanks and read the one.

But basically it was misproduced. We’re long here already and this is a bonus episode, so I’ll let you read my thoughts. But the short version is, you had Jerry Seinfeld sitting there and they decided to take a phone call. I am some sort of radio audio expert. Civilians cannot tell a story.

So you’ve got Jerry there and you’re turning your show over to a random woman who called in to tell a story she thinks is funny. Jerry Seinfeld is sitting there with what are you doing? Misproduced? Then they threw it to a pre recorded piece that was terrible, and then when it came back from that, Seinfeld was gone. I’m like, yeah, had Jerry Seinfeld sitting there?

That said, I saw sparks of mulaney, especially in the first ten minutes. That reminded me of early eighties Letterman, when the set was still brown, not even the blue set, the really early days where you’d get a lot of Chris Elliot, you’d get a lot of Larry bud Melman. There’s something there. I hope somebody at Netflix read my substack and took my notes. I’ll be very curious to see what mulaney does now.

I don’t know if I could step to eleven again. I got in from Cleveland at one forty am on Sunday. Congratulations, Deacon. Mike and my dog had me up at seven point thirty and then up Sunday night past eleven o’clock. I wanted to do this episode Sunday night.

I just did have another ninety minutes send me to bang this out. But yeah, mullaney, there’s something there. I’d be really curious to see what he does. My point, I’ve lost my train of thought. Point is, I don’t know if I could say up to eleven o’clock again tonight, So I might have to watch that on one day delay, or maybe I’ll let a bunch of them gather and catch up on that.

But again, if you have Jerry Seinfeld next to you, just use him. Tonight’s guest main guest is John Stewart. The second guest is Gabe Iglesias. As I run on the substack, Johnny Carson would shut up and let his guests be funny. That’s all you have to do.

Hey, here’s John Stewart. Johnny, you’re watching the Trump Stormy Daniels trial and then stop talking. That’s all you gotta do, all right.

Caloroga Shark Media a very very robust Monday. Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. A good joke by Jimmy Kimmel who said Marjorie Taylor Green is acting like such a child that Matt gets asked her out on a date. By the way, if he wants some political comedy, check out the Ballot podcast. So I’m up two minds here.

One, this really is a robust show with a lot of great stuff. On the other hand, honestly kind of frustrated. I wrote and recorded this on Friday because I was going to Cleveland on Saturday and just needed to get in front of things. So I will talk about Kat Williams, and I will talk about Tom Brady, and I will talk about the Pop Tarts movie. I’ll do all that tomorrow because as I record this, haven’t seen him yet.

That kind of sucks. By the way, the big difference between Cleveland and the Golden Globes Cleveland has fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Heading into the weekend, Jeff Ross thought that Tom Brady was going to have the strongest say. During the roast of Tom Brady, Ross said, I watched him running some material. He’s ruthless.

He wants to win his own roast. I caught him in the last super Bowl he won, like three years ago. On Super Bowl Sunday, I saw him looking at my Instagram stories. I’m posting roasty jokes about the Super Bowl and I happened to see Tom brady verified account and he’s playing in the super Bowl three hours and I’m like, this is what this guy’s doing right before the Super Bowl.

And then he won, and I said, man, I think he’d be a great person a roast.

We can invite Julian Edelman, he can explain the jokes to Gronk. It could be a fun night out. Brady was like, LFG, let’s go. Then he agreed to do it. He signed the contract.

Then to get out of it, he unretired for two years. To his credit, he’s stuck with it and he’s brave. Man. The thing I love about Tom Brady is he’s a student of the roast and it was his dream to get roasted. Cat Williams big profile in The New York Times.

I shared it in the Facebook group on Friday Daily Comedy News podcast group The New York Times says with a mister Rogers level of thoughtfulness. Kat said, I thought I had worked out a way of breaking the Internet, and I felt pretty confident, so I kind of wrote it like a one man movie, with the intention of the outcome and the trails off there the time. Says few people are better at weaving narratives that seem too incredible to be true than Kat Williams, like when Cat describes how he taught himself to fall asleep exactly fifty nine seconds where’s caat Williams himself puts it, The benefit of Cat Williams Live is that you don’t know in any way what he’s gonna say. I try to write the seven to ten most bleeping things that I think, and I try to make that into the comedy show. And our long special comprises ten to twelve standalone pieces, which usually leaves Cat looking at a bit or two.

As he’s writing. For this set, he paired down what started as a ninety minute set. On the road, Cat watches footage of the previous night For the first thirty so dates, Cat says, my job is to let this guy know, Hey, you’re looking old out there. You’re gonna work this stage. He says, most off and he’s not refining the words, but the delivery a bigger gesture and a different tilt of the head.

By the way, if you’re in Cincinnati April twenty seventh, you missed it is now Cat Williams Day. Yeah, Cincinnati proclaimed Cat Williams Day due to notable career and performances at established venues such as the Improv. Amy Schumer was honored at the Variety Power of Women. She teld the yucky story about on a recent project, the cruise production assistant had been sexually harassed by an actor on set. Amy says she told the appropriate people and did what she needed to do to feel safe and to heal.

I called her to apologize and thank her for speaking up for the women who would come after her that she had saved. This isn’t perfect. This is progress, and many of you here today your work will help guide these women. So when the time comes, they’ll say, oh, I’m so sorry, not on my watch, mfor Here’s a clip from Amy. Some women may say, some people may say that women are good leaders.

I know, I’m serious. Some people they think we’re good at communicating and maybe we should be running more things. It’s crazy and we carry the wisdom of so many brilliant women before us. We know from Bell Hooks that learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. From Glory as steinem we know that we are linked, not ranked, from Paula gettings that one of our core principles should be making women equal to women.

Somebody else who spoke at this was named Sasha Seinfeld Seinfeld. That name is familiar a. Sasha Seinfeld is a staff reuter on Life and Beth. Oh and she’s the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld. That’s weird because Jerry sometimes puts Amy in movies.

Oh okay, welcome to Hollywood, everybody. That’s all it works. Sasha spoke about Amy Schumer here. Let’s listen. Amy, a smart person unafraid of seeming dumb, was my entry point into womanhood.

What she lacks in propriety she makes up for in HUTSBA. Until Amy, no one had ever told me to be courageous, be saucy, confront people, say your wildest, most truthful inner thoughts, take that last trip before someone else does. She is exactly the kind of woman I want to be. In another clip, I don’t audio of Sasha Seinfeld is telling a story about Amy Schumer at the memorial dinner for Jimmy Buffett. I didn’t know Jimmy Buffett and Amy Schumer were tight.

We welcome to Holly what everyone? When Jane Buffett entered the room of grieving guests, Amy took one of her boobs out, walked right up to Jane and gave her a big hug. It cut right through the darkness and made everyone smile. Sasha Seinfeld said. Amy said to daughter Delaney Buffett, I could see them being friends.

As I believe both these Seinfelds and Buffetts have homes in the Hamptons. Maybe Amy does too. According to Sasha, Amy joked, if it makes you feel any better, I wish my dad was dead. Sasha Seinfeld, writer on Amy Schumer, projects her dad is Jerry Seinfeld. Have you heard of him.

He’s got a new movie called Unfrosted. He’s not gonna like the reviews. Here’s a roundup. The Chicago Sun Times declared Unfrosted one of the decades worst movies. If there was such a thing called the IMDb Witness Protection program where you could get your name taken off the credits of a particular product.

This would be that project. Wow. I’m quite surprised because the trailer looked fun. As I record this on for IDA, I have at CD yet playing on watching it with my wife at seven pm. It’s on the family calendar.

That said, a lot of Netflix movies are terrible. Netflix. I feel like in the last fourm Ons has gotten a lot better, but a lot of Netflix movies have been pretty terrible. The Daily Globe and Mail called it one big steaming pile dot dot dot, a distressingly laughrey affair, like a long lost Lorne Michael’s produced SNL feature from the nineties. Jokes so hacky that Kenny Bonia wouldn’t touch them, and the pacings so slow it rivals Elane’s experience during the English patient Yikes.

The Daily Beast called the movie as bad as you’d expect, superior to Seinfeld’s B movie. It’s content to be child, content to be childishly silly rather than legitimately weird. There’s nothing particularly awful about it, but there’s also very little that’s a memorable. That’s kind of what I’m expecting, Collider wrote, considering we’re in a world where Barbie can make one point four billion dollars. It’s a shame Unfrosted doesn’t try harder again.

Even a film like Weird The Wonderful Weird Al Movie managed to make its jokes and cameo’s work as part of a larger story, whereas Unfrosted always puts the story on the back burner. The San Francisco Chronicles says Seinfeld’s over the top throw and everything but the kitchen sink approach mixed for an uneven film, with some gags inspired, others grown inducing. The Guardian was kinder, saying it’s all It’s not exactly a masterpiece, but amiable and funny in a way that’s much harder to achieve than it looks. The Washington Post gave it two and a half stars and said Unfrosted maybe the platonic ideal of the Netflix movie ephemeral, edible, enjoyable, forgettable. Jerry kicked off The Netflix Is a Joke at Comedy Festival last week.

He did the show with Jim Gaffigan, Nate Pergatziy, and Sebastian Maniscalco. Jerry called it, according to Hollywood Reporter, one of the best nights I’ve had in my entire life. Wow, Jerry said, I’m here with the greatest comedians we could get that were available tonight. How’s itnonamous at a gig. We’ve never been on a stage together in our lives.

This is our first time. Sebastian Maniscalco said, I’m not used to working with other people, some kind of put out of place and trying to figure out where I belong in this group. Seinfeld said, I used to work with three other very funny people. I got used to that. Seinfeld teld the audience.

The group had to figure out who was gonna go in what order. They drew numbers out of a hat. Manuscalco got one, Bergatzi two, Gaffigan three, Seinfeld four. That’s a hell of a coincidence. Gee, you think you think that was the order of Sebastian Nate?

Jim Seinfeld, Yeah, what did you think? Gaffigan said, I’ve been praying for third. Sebastian introduced Manuscalco was saying, he’s one of my favorite comedians. Come on, that’s the perfect that’s how you would sequence it. What are you gonna have Jerry go first?

And Sebastian clothes get out of here? That’s the worry. Bourbon entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan commented on accusations he’s on Ozimpic after a recent weight loss. He denied it. He said he’s on a similar medication, Munjaro.

I had to look that punch line up. That is a type two diabetes treatment to lower A one C. Jim said, I’m not playing Major League baseball. I’m just a fat guy trying not to die, trying and enjoy being thin because I know I’m gonna be fat again. This is not sustainable.

This is the drug to close out the night. Jerry did jokes about marriage, golfing, and AI and said, I like a I I like it. It can’t write this. I looked at stuff terrible. It can’t write comedy.

It’s not dumb enough. You need a certain amount of dumb for this, and you can’t teach that. That’s a gift. Oh, I accept the challenge. Here.

Let’s see, let’s go to chat. Shept wright Seinfeld style jokes about what should we go with? Chairs? Maybe Jerry’s right, here’s the best one to check him up with Chairs are like the ultimate interrogators. You sit down, Suddenly they’re asking questions why you’re sitting like that, You’re really gonna eat another slice of pizza?

Not awful? You drop that in the middle of a set and have a proper comedian tell it. Those two might have worked. I bet Jerry would have got a laugh with that pizza line. More Netflix, they announced seven new comedy specials.

They are from Michelle Buteau, Ali Wong, Bert Kreischer, Dion Cole, Fortune Fimester, Gabriel Iglesias and and Joe Coy. I don’t know if you guys know Joe Coy. Uh Filipino comedian balld. He hosted the Golden Globes. He got in a bit of trouble last year.

He told a joke about Taylor Swift that didn’t go over so well. Here, let me play the club to remind you a big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. True brutal. If everything went according to plan, col and Wong have already recorded their new specials at the festival.

Gabbes will be the ones I told you about recently, recording at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, June twelfth to fourteenth. Michelle Butttill will film her second special for Netflix at Radio City this summer. Joe Coy I’ll do it again. He was saved at the King’s Theater in Brooklyn, New York last November. No word on Fortune Feamsters taping.

The eight hundred Pound Gorilla said, Hasan Minhaj hosted one of the most impressive drop in shows they’ve ever seen at Netflix. Is a joke festival, all right, I mean that’s kind of a subset there. Seipha sounds worn up the crowd with some music. Then Hassan came out and did a quick five minutes about having Ashley Biden at one of his shows and which is it was? Hunter.

He also did material about Zillo the first drop in Tim Dlon, The Gorilla says Dylan may be a big draw, but he did have his work cutout for him when he came to this particular crowd. There are two types of comedians, ones who care deeply about winning over an audience and those who genuinely don’t care. I know which Tim is. He is the latter. His set range from a zimpic to not knowing how to fix them.

Middle least to TikTok. He did end up showing his impressive crowd work chops with a few people in the crowd. The Gorilla writes, if Dylan is the comedian that seemingly doesn’t care about winning over crowd, Bert Krascher is at the opposite end of that spectrum. Came out, took off his shirt, talked about losing weight, talked about how Hassan is his daughter’s favorite comedian, phone staff with his wife, and then visiting the Anne Frank House. Liked Tim Dylan Burke Kreischer couldn’t help but address this is not his usual audience.

Next up ZENEB Johnson with a short set that’s a tough draw. Following those two, then Nikki Glaser, who did a large chunk on depression, why she wants to stay alive and aging, and then Miss Pat Wow, What a random show. Miss Patt talked about being bored by being married and getting older. She played off the energy in the room, making it clear she wasn’t there to be heckled. She got particularly friendly with a white guy in their front row named Brad.

And then Ronny Chieng What a weird show. Chang talked about loving America and his MAGA friend. He then segued into talking about canceling, saying canceling is what it used to be. Called out Hassan and Minaj directly. Minhaj started heckling him before rising out of the crowd and joining Ronnie on stage for a heated fifteen minutes of back and forth.

They started talking about the infamous New York article where Minhaj made up some things. Minhaj achuced Ronny Chieng of leaking the story. Hassan said, who the f fact checks stand up comedy? Only Ronny Chieng would set me up. Sounds like an awesome show.

That first half was so long. I had no joke. I took a lunch break. My sugar’s crashed during that first half. I had a chopped spicier Sonoma salad.

Chopped is my favorite. It is so good. Those salads are like sixteen dollars. This one was delicious. I might have to start buying me a salad.

Dot com slash Dayly Comedy News, but that’s not a thing yet. Where who are we seriously? I just took it was yeah, half an hour. I’ll see the Sydney Comedy Festival. I’ll do it quick because we were so long today.

Oh good for me. There’s only one show on Tuesday, THECD Comedy Festival show Ocase, all right, keep moving, John Netflix before I forget Tomorrow nine am is The Two Bears five K. Tonight at seventy Sinbad tribute show. David Glecias has Late Night at the Hollywood Palladium. That’s ten thirty, Bverbiglia at seven, The Gods of Comedy with David Letterman at seven thirty.

Unclear who the guest is. He’s also doing that show the next two nights. Earthquake at seven, Joe Kim Booster two shows seven and nine forty five Done out Rawlings at seven Well Stuffed Up Now from the Spicyy Spicy or Cinema Salad, Tony Rock at seven thirty, A lot of shows from Monday, and a bunch of others I did not tell you about. The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival announced that Shane Gillis will headline August twenty fourth. Some yucky news.

British comedian Dane Baptiste allegedly posted an anti Semitic death threat about a female comic. Prominent members of the British comedy community rounded on Baptiste as he was accused of publishing a now deleted Instagram post in which he told an unidentified female comedian per Deadline, that he would sit in prison while your family sit at the cemetery. No no, no, no, not cool, dude. Per Deadline, the UK’s Community Security Trust is a charity that examines incidences of anti Jewish hate. They’ve been notified about Baptist’s message, which began a quick note to the Zionist comedian stalking my family’s page.

Baptiste wrote, I want you to sit down with your husband and kids and imagine what they’re lives. I didn’t want to repeat this because North London is a quick trip in a think tank. Will have to be an actual tank to keep you safe from me, dude. Awful awful, awful. Ask about and comedians will tell you.

I will be your literal doorstep. Your agent will keep you safe. The act is dumb, but don’t be a dumb woman, yikes. Deadline writes they do not know the identity of the comedian Baptiste was allegedly threatening. The post has been deleted, but it’s making the rounds on Twitter.

Ricky Gervaise reposted a post that highlighted Baptiste publicly threatening to kill a Jewish woman. Another comic, Marcus Briggstoke wrote, the threatened by Dean Baptiste against a woman on ig wasn’t vague and cannot be justified. It was targeted and dangerous, driven in my opinion, by anti Semitism and misogyny. I refuse to look the other way and stay silent while only Jewish friends speak up. I see a Instagram post one day ago, so it’s Friday one, eighteen pm Eastern from me Instagram’s hyming.

This is from one day ago on what I believe to be Dean’s account, and it has a check mark in the reason past. I received a number of threatening and abusive messages from accounts accusing me of anti Semitism for having propouse and in views of a new family, and my partner made me aware that some of the same people were monitoring her Instagram account and a massive error of judgment. I posted an excessive and impulsive response, hoping to suade anybody monitoring my family. I made a point to say Zionist and not Jewish, but I appreciate how disturbing threatening, and in Cindiara that language is. I would categorically state that I have no ill intention towards the Jewish community and never have.

I have a loving family of which I’m massively protective of, irected poorly and emotionally to a perceive threat with no considered thought to the consequences, and I apologize profusely for my actions to the Jewish community, my colleagues, and my fans. That is an Instagram post that’s all white text on a black background, no image. A Dean apparently had been dropped by his agencies as I record this on Friday.

Meanwhile, in Madison, Wisconstant A theater canceled show featuring Michael …

He was scheduled to play at Comedy on State on Thursday. I feel like we’ve heard about them before. Chappelle on the back of my mind Something Something. The Avenue sent out an email to ticket holders Wednesday night saying the show was canceled due to safety concerns from escalating protests and a quote contentious nature of the dialogue unquote surrounding the conflict in Gaza. Apparently, the statement reads in light of the current environment downtown marked by a reculating protests and a contentious nature of the dialogues around in current affairs, We’ve made a difficult decision to cancel the Thursday show with Michael rapperport the safety and well being of our audience, members, staff and community or our top priorities.

We believe this decision is in the best interest of all involved. Rapp Report went on Twitter and called these situation in Madison quotes very very very bleeped up.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Shonny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I didn’t get to see Kat Williams. I’ll talk about it tomorrow. I went to Cleveland for Deacon Mike.

Congratulations. Deacon Mike. Couldn’t blow off Deacon Mike’s big day. So you know, I had to pick Deacon Mike or Kat Williams. It was tough.

I mean I flipped the coin. It was first was two out of three, and then uh, three out of five, and then they did five out of seven. I was like, all right, God’s trying to tell you to be there for Deacon Mike. So I’ll watch Kat later. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Also tonight the roast of Tom Brady. I’ll talk about that one on Tuesday. I mean, you know these things are late at night. I got a pre record this podcast and go to bed. Do you guys have no idea what my sleep schedules?

Like my dog is sixteen and a half man, and I’m sleeping with her in the basement because she has to get up a couple of times, like having a new born. So I go to bed at nine thirty and I’m up at two in the morning and five in the morning, I’m exhausted, Barstool said. People don’t talk enough about how corny Seinfeld was, and I think they mean the show, not Jerry. Although, uh, do you know where I’m going to google? The word shows it out all right?

Moving on watching google that one. People kind of free pass that one. It’s really it’s not a little weird. It’s weird. We free passed the one.

I don’t know why, Barstool writes, when I look back at the show now, it almost feels like a whole showcase to showcase for Jerry Seinfeld to establish himself as a man who quotes Poul’s bitches, and Barstool wrote, Jerry’s words, not mine. There are a total of sixty six women in the graphic that they made, but according to sources in the show, Seinfeld the character dated seventy three women in the one hundred eighty episodes that averages a new woman every two point four to seven episodes. Barstool wrights he accumulated a roster of ninety styles smoke shows that would make Leo DiCaprio tip his cap a murderer’s row of beautiful women, and one stray Jennifer Kooli. They write, sorry, Jennifer, that was an unnecessary low blow. You’re very attractive in your own right.

I love doing White Lotus. The list is full of heavyheaders, but to name a few, Terry Hatcher, Christine Taylor, Kristin Davis, Kathleen mcclennan, who walked around naked in Jerry’s apartment. Don’t forget that he ended up repulsed by her because he didn’t like the way her naked body looked when opening a jar. And of course Julie Louis Dreyfus. They wrote it’s like they cast the show with Julia as Elane.

Then Jerry said, hey, let’s make sure we put in the script that he used to bang her. Courtney Cox, dead Spin Rights and a big old creepy shout outgoest whoever wrote the episode where George Costanza was caught redhanded looking at the cleavage of his boss’s high school daughter, the daughter played by Denise Richards. Barstool Rights people throw around the phrase they can never make that episode today, but I do believe a main character steering daggers at a fifteen year old side character’s cleavage and playing it off as a clumsy goof would not fly on modern day cable. Oh see, I deliberately don’t preread these things. I like terry act not to go too found down the rabbit hole of creepy Seinfeld things.

But I can’t possibly write this blog without mentioning the fact that, at the ripe age of thirty eight years old, real life Jerry Seinfeld began dating a Shoshanna Lonstein, a seventeen year old high school student. I understand it was a different time, but come on, Jerry, it was not a different time. It was not I lived through that time. At the time, we were like huh or still adds great show though. All right, while I’m causing trouble, I was doing some prep for the show and I found this wonderful clip from twenty eighteen.

This is Jim Gaffigan on the CBS Sunday Mornings. I assume doing his weekly commentary, and here Jim talks about anybody and everybody making their own alcohol with stupid names. I hate those people. I like beer. This may not surprise you by looking at me.

I am an overweight American male in my early forties. Now it’s seems every city, town and Hamlet I visit has its own beer made by locals, specialty beers, micro beers, craft beers, made by community artisans, and I can tell you without exception, they’re all bad. I’m not exaggerating. No, I don’t care how cute the beer name is that has to do with local folklore. I don’t care how beautiful the hand drawn label is of the cactus wrestling penguin.

Neil Brennan spoke to Forbes, and he was curious to this interview entitle me to four more free articles for us this month. Forbes is like, do you read publications like Forbes? I don’t know if you’ve looked it up, but top comedians make as much as the top athletes. Kevin Hart told me he’s going to be a billionaire. Neil said, does he have the dating his calendar?

Like on April six? Come to mind, I’m a billionaire party. They asked a real question, Neil, would it alienate comedy on it is if they realized how much money some performers were making. Neil said, it’s a weird thing. There’s a lot of big earners, so I don’t think people really associated with comedy.

But it really doesn’t matter how much money you have, you can still bomb and the audience is aware that. I also think charisma can make them forget. Neil wants your drink of choice. He says, it’s embarrassing I drink Corona. What’s wrong with Corona?

I love Corona? Neil, You’re a beach person, Neil says, I am kind of a beach person. Like on your birthday, you get a birthday cake and you do good and you go to the beach. I’m fair skinned and I have a skin cancer joke and my new Netflix special. But I don’t know what to do there.

I just read, I guess, Neil, do you enjoy traveling? Neil said, I do like traveling. I like walking around big cities, putting my bag down, putting on shoes and then walking for ten miles. Tokyo was a great walking city, Singapore, London, Paris. Now I’m just naming cities.

Let’s take a look at the Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival four Pan Pacific, The Greatest Roast of All Time, Tom Brady Low Tickets Warning seven Pacific, The Allei Wong Residency, Patton Oswalt also at seven. Heather McMahon also at seven, Felippia Sparza. You know, you guys can spread this out. You don’t have to have ten shows all at once, say Melissa via Signor at seven, Sidney Washington at seven. There’s a lot of shows, all right.

Then there’s some later shows to drop in with Janelle James at eight point thirty, Sarah Jordan Jensen at nine. I don’t like how this is laid out. It’s kind of all over the place. Jeneido Unaka and friends in all right, let’s see. Well, obviously we would somehow get into the roast of Tom Brady.

That’s the big shiny event.

And then I would say seven o’clock Patton just taking another look, Yeah, Pat…

I’ve played him on the Live One Show a few times. Let’s do that for the late show.

---

Meanwhile, Sydney is quiet tomorrow, nothing going on, So I don’t have any cl…

Want you to get your money’s worth here. Let me do one more story. Nick Offerman spoke to The Washington Post. Nick Offerman played the president in that recent Civil War movie. Washpoe wrote to his friends, it’s not a surprise so that Nick is playing the president.

In fact, for twelve years now, Conan O’Brien claims that he’s been trying to get Nick Offerman to play Theodore Roosevelt. Conan said, I think more than any actor Atlive today, and I’m not making a joke, you could play two are better than anybody. Amy Poehler says Nick shouldn’t limit himself. I think Nick has the talent and the hair to play any president he chooses. This summer, Nick Offerman will be heading to Budapest to play.

This sounds like a joke, but this is real. He’s going to play Chester A. Arthur in the Netflix series Death by Lightning, about the eighteen eighty one assassination of President James Gorefield. This from the guys who used to run Game of Thrones. One more, The Harvard Crimson wrote women are funny female comedians that you should watch.

They have a list, They wrote, Taylor Tomlinson. Taylor Thominson is the id girl of the stand up scene. Ali Wong, probably best known for her Emmy Award winning performance on Beef. Third, Tig Nataro four, Margaret Choe five, Joanne Megnally, He didn’t see that coming, right. Joanne is popular not just for her stand up but for her podcast.

My Therapist Ghosted Me six, Tiffany Hattish and that’s it. That’s the entire list. No, I don’t know, Bett Stelling, Appaucci, Leanne Morgan. No, all right, that’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. John. You never talk about Jerry Seinfeld. I know, right, it’s so much press.

Jerry was asked about his debate with Mark Marin. Narren believes in bearing his soul on stage. Jerry leaves in fidelity to the joke. Jerry said, my attitude, I think was more talking to comedians. I think comedians, if they want to survive throughout their life doing this, they have to pay close attention to the laughs.

There’s no less value in what Maren’s doing, but I would worry about how long it would last in your life. Maren’s done, Okay, But yeah, that’s a good point. We’re both right, just different. Jerry himself wants to do stand up to the very end of life. The only hard part of my life is the other things.

People do ask me about slung down and I go. The work part of my life is not stand up, it’s all the other things. Stand Up is an incredible, pure experience. Surfing is the great regret of my life that I never got good at. I did it for two weeks one time, many years ago, feeling that energy, that natural life force, energy under you and around you.

I never get tired of that. Will Jerry do another standup special? Nope. I’d love to think of something else if I ever want to do it, which I don’t right now, like comedians and cars getting coffee. The subtext of that is I’m really sick of talk shows on TV.

That’s why I did that. That was my anti talk show. So I’d want to do an anti stand up special if I did one. I envy sometimes these little Italian artisans who don’t really care if anybody knows who they are what they do, and stand up could be like that. Stand up in a way is a kind of private, lonely world.

I’m going to Daton on Friday. No one’s gonna know what happened there. I’m very attracted to that. I’m more attracted to that than Hey, everybody, I made a movie. He then compares that feeling to Seinfeld.

When it started, we thought this would be a really fun, little batique thing that’ll just get our people, this kind of quirky, offbeat thing, and that would be cool. What a became was never on our radar. Then suddenly you’re a big wave surfer. I think it was tougher on Larry David than for me, because you feel the pressure. I never minded the pressure.

Tom Papa used to open for Jerry Seinfeld. He spoke to the Columbus Underground and Tom said, I think the thing I’m most proud of is I’ve been able to stay high, positive and talk about the things that weren’t cynical and be more hopeful. But also I would be really good. You can be naive, hackey and goofy and serve that hopeful kind of thing, but I wanted to be the standard I hold other comedians too, and still not cave into being dirty, cynical and dark. Tom talked about getting into comedy and says there are virtually no gatekeepers now.

Like when I started, you had to get on The Tonight’s Show or Letterman and then ultimately HBO, and that was a very small group of people that got to do that. Now you can do whatever you want. You can have your own podcast, but stuff up on social media, you can speak directly to the audience. I think it’s been great that all these people were able to just kind of create your fan base and go out there and door and do your thing. Variety spoke to Tony Hingecliff about the Wonderful Kill Tony Podcast and we’re curious of his nuggets of inspiration for potential performers.

Tony said, it’s a very dark, lonely road. It’s the opposite of TikTok, where your content is immediately seen by a ton of people. You must be able to present it in a room and change your timing not to be taken lightly. Someone going from TikTok and expecting to be a natural stand up comedian is equivalent in my mind of someone being a good papa shot basketball player making as many any as you can in thirty seconds to being in the NBA. How many people from TikTok or Instagram reels are even making it as a stand up comedian.

People get Matt Rife confused and blocked in with those people. But my take on Matt Rife as I knew him eleven years ago opening for Ralphie May, he was a little star. I bust all my comedians friends chops when they bring him up and speak negatively about him in the green room. He did the work and he started young. He’s built for it.

Tony, do you feel your move from LA to Austin has hindered any opportunities, Tony said, it has hindered nothing. On the contrary, it’s free to know we’re focused on our stand up comedy and podcasts instead of being focused on LA or New York City cliches like auditions, pitch meetings, voiceover gigs, writing jobs, and other distractions that at best leave you with a boss, a lack of creative control, and probably wanting more money. By having our priorities be our own podcasts and doing live shows regularly, we get better at those two things. Regularly can all relate to one another and do each other’s show. So from both the projects we care about.

Boy, what great advice from Tony there. It might just be I’m at a stage in my own career where I don’t want a boss. I like doing this podcast every day. Is it the biggest podcast in the world. No, to some people think it sucks.

Probably do I care? No? Would I like to make a million dollars off it? Of course? I like money.

You like money. We all like money. I’d love to be doing this show from I don’t know Paris right now, but I’m in my basement. But creatively, boy, I’m having a ball doing this at our little podcast network project. This is great, Tony said.

Our favorite comedian’s from LA and New are coming to us. Now we only go there and we have to do big shows. People can have a career from anywhere now. Tony says, comedians should utilize anything that happens with them from more material. Real comedy fans seed through it.

They want the line, they know the line, they love the line. I push it to the limits. I did p Diddy jokes last weekend. I told Nickelodeon jokes at Baltimore Bridge reference. People say, but what if somebody’s family on the bridge sees that.

Look, it’s a different little island we’ve created. It existed in Texas, obviously a staple of free speech. But while LA and New York have virtual signaled their way into what’s right and wrong, we go forward here. The CBC spoke to Matt Hart and Ali Hassan about kill Tony. Matt explains, if you’ve never checked out killto only two hundred three hundred people put their names in a hat at a huge comedy club called The mother Ship.

That’s Rogan’s place in Austin, which is quickly becoming what Seattle was for grunge, but for comedy. If you get your name pulled, you’ve given one minute uninterrupted on stage performed stand up. Alie said of sixty seconds, it’s very, very challenging. Sometimes if you have a weird look and you can lean inside immediately, that’s a great gift. The CBC pointed out Mike ber Bigley for examples, a storyteller who takes an hour to unfold his act, not the kind of act you’d see big cover, Story and variety.

Amy Schumer can’t escape backlash, and she’s okay with that. Ready rights, Amy Schumer was in the zone. This was in March, when she was filming on the Street Brooklyn for her upcoming movie Kind of Pregnant. In one take, Schumer emerged from a subway station while answering a phone call and was interrupted by a stranger shouting in her from the sidewalk. If you Amy Schumer, you’re a Zionist, you love genocide?

Amy said, it didn’t even raise my heart rate. I didn’t cry nothing. She says of her tendency to sound off, I can’t help it. A lot of people can help it, but I’ve never been able to. But I also want to be helpful, do you know what I mean?

She weighed in on the Middle East, saying the focus is so razor sharp on Jewish people but not on Hammas. It’s very strange. I’d recommend people read a book. It’s called Israel, A Simple Guide to the most misunderstood country on Earth. As for Kind of Pregnant, Amy says, I’m striving it for to be one of the ten funniest movies of my lifetime.

I thought she was going to say her career her lifetime. Wow, I think it’s gonna be as funny as train Wreck. While she was being interviewed, a woman walked up to the table and said to Amy Schumer while the interviewer happened to be there, thank you for everything you’re doing for Israel. I follow you on social media. I used to live in Israel, and thank you.

We support you. Amy said, that moment you just saw maybe ten times a day that happens to me. The article goes on to talk about the early parts of Amy’s career. She noticed that male comedians did not get as much hate as she did. She said, people get really mad at women.

They save a special kind of vitriol for us. It’s not new. I think it’s because they fear women. That’s my guess. She’s hoping Life in Beth will get a third season from Hulu.

She says it has not been renewed yet and that life keeps going. I’m not worried about running out of stuff to say. Tonight, ten pm. Unless you’re driving back from Cleveland, get in front of your TV. You can watch Netflix.

Cat Williams Live. Oh man, I want to say, I can’t wait, but I’m gonna have to wait. I’ll watch that one on Sunday seven point thirty. John Mulaney in concert, All Time Specific eight o’clock Shane Gillis, Low tickets Warning, ten pm Chris Rock’s table reads, low tickets Warning. Joining comedy icon Chris Rock as he hosted table read of When Harry Met Sally.

That’s a Good Time. Seven o’clock Daniel Tosh, three o’clock, Leanne Morgan. I hate the way this thing is laid out, so you hear me jumping back and forth on the various times, A lot of good stuff. Tonight, seven o’clock Comil onn Jianny Pete Holmes at seven, Eliza Selessenger at seven Roywood Junior at seven and nine forty five, Natalie Palamedes at nine forty five, Howie Mandel and Arsenio Hall two show, seven thirty, ten thirty, and a whole bunch of shows I didn’t read to you, all right, if you and I were there, would go see three o’clock Leanne Morgan five o’clock because we wouldn’t be in Cleveland, would be at the Netflix is a tr comedy festival in LA. Would have to hit Cat Williams.

Wait, five o’clock Pacific? Is eight o’clock? Have I been saying ten? At some point they said this is ten? Let me clean this up here.

So the original press release says May fourth, seven pm Pacific, which is ten Eastern, which is why I’ve been saying that. But on the festival website itself it says five o’clock Pacific. Maybe it’s not actually live. I don’t know. Sit in front of Netflix for four hours tonight and see what happens.

I don’t know what to tell you. At this I think I figured it out. I think there are openers and Cat goes on at ten, all right, so we would go see Leeann Morgan, then Cat Williams don’t know if I want to see Mallani. Let’s not do Malani. Let’s do Pete Holmes.

This is really good. Let’s do Pete Holmes.

And then let’s do Natalie Palamedes.

How about that? And let me do Sydney real quick. I’ll do Sidney a little more thorough and next week between the Seinfeld and this Netflix festival to just so much to talk about. But should you find yourself in Sydney on Senko Tomayo. Brody Snook’s show is called Villain.

I like this title here. Let’s see every night Rody Snook dreams of committing murder what Her doctor thinks she needs medication. Her best friend thinks she needs uh I thing that goes you know what I’m saying, Yes you do. Her accountant thinks she needs a real job. Brody reckons it’s time to start playing the villain.

The Age gave it four stars and says a masterful writer and outrageous form. Elliott Stewart’s show is called Elliot Stewart sucks. It’s talking to people a crowd work show will drop the g there I hear the Queen’s come out sometimes no reviews of that one. Okay, let’s do one more. Emma zammitz show is called good Grief.

We all know the grief has five stages. Denial, like, yeah, I’ll be able to watch Kat Williams. I’m not in Cleveland. Anger, Ah, stupid Mike making me go to Cleveland bargaining. Maybe if I leave early, I can be home and catch Kat Williams.

Mike will be too mad. Depression, I can’t believe I miss Kat Williams for this thing. Finally, acceptance. I guess I was good, that I was a good friend. I can always watch Kat Williams on Sunday.

Hey, list of stages. It’s not comedian and mother emma’zem it’s scratching her head as to where Lasagna drops fit in. Sounds like a good show, or maybe I just amuse myself in the middle of that. Rob Schneider has told Catholic media outlet Church Pop, Church Pop your home for comedy news that Rob is working on a script for a feature film about the Shroud of touring. What you think I was gonna say?

Yeah, Schneider told Church Pop. Hopefully this movie about the Shroud will happen, because I think it’s about faith. I think we need that and to bring more people to it. And it’s not necessarily to preach to them, but just to show to them the actual sacrifice and to talk about what the core of Christianity is loving others. And that is your comedy news for today.

If you enjoy the program, you can follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, wherever you get your shows. If you’re like I hate these commercials, when I’ll open up Apple podcasts, hit subscriptions four ninety nine a month, you’ve got the show commercial free. Once I wake up, explain that show goes live with the commercials three o five Eastern. Show goes live without the commercials when I wake up and publish it. Wish I could automate it.

Talk to the back end company today. They’re working on it. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see that the judge find Trump nine thousand dollars? Stephen Colbert said, Now, nine thousand dollars may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, but what about Trump? Kimmel says, Trump spends nine thousand dollars at the Wendy’s drive through Colbert.

The judge lamented that it was the most he could legally find him, warning if Trump keeps violating the gag order, jail may be a necessary punishment. Colbert said, I don’t know if it’s necessary for Trump, but I need it. Kimmel Malania was like, don’t let the judge tell you what to do, and then Joe Coy chimed in with this one, which doesn’t even make sense. Yeah, fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear John Mulaney is the guest on My Next Guest needs no introduction with David Letterman.

David Letterman asked John Mulaney, who’s funnier than John Mulaney. Malini said this, I knew who the funniest person was. The funniest two or three people were funnier, is it? Certainly? The mean, do you consider anybody in that group to be as good as you or better than you?

Is there somebody you think? Yeah? Really? Oh yeah, yeah, like who is better than you? I mean, well, first off, you know, when I was a writer, I was writing for Bill Hayter and Fred Armison.

Oh well, no more questions? Yeah, you know, so that was like there was no point where I ever looked at selling. I wrote for them and thought I could do this better. What will be the when you think to yourself, I’ve done enough one and a half hour specials. I’m done now touring?

Will that happen? We moved it, we had direct films. What will you do? There’s lots of other things I want to do, But you say it like it’s a crisis right now, things are going on. Letterman asked Malini if he thought of John Belushi during his recovery.

Melini said, not actively, but after that big intervention and everything blew up. I was in my room and rehab and I talked to Lauren Michael’s on the phone for like an hour one day earlier. In the call, we’re talking and he goes, I knew John Belushi for seven years. I’ve been talking about him for forty eight years. He goes there’s the shrapnel that happens when someone goes down like that.

You know, John didn’t want to die. He didn’t plan to just because it’s a story, just because it’s set in stone like history. People don’t want to die from this. John Malini will host John Malani Presents Everybody’s Live in La first episode two nights, nine to thirty pm Eastern. Additional episodes next week Monday, May sixth through the tenth.

The PR team says there will be more guests as well, but we’re tired of listing them. We’ve given you enough information already. That’s hilarious. Some of the guests announced Weezer, Los Lobos, Saint Vincent, flee Beck, Bill Haytern, Apergatsey, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, John Stewart, Gabe Iglesias, May Martin, Patton oswaldt Sarah Silverman, Anna Gatsby, Stavros Halkias, lu Andel, Ronny Chieng, Tom Sagora and alf Vira also on the show. And I’m not making this up.

Oh j Simpson, Prosecutor Marsha Clark. Hey, you know what’s out today Unfrosted. I know I never talk about Jerry Seinfeld on this podcast. I’ve barely mentioned Jerry Seinfeld this week, and I’ve barely mentioned Unfrosted. He has done a lot of press for this thing.

Jerry talked about what movies they stole from. Yeah, Oppenheimer. I think it’s a fun game if anyone wants to play how many movies we stole from? Obviously The Godfather the right stuff. At one point I was gonna say, I’ll bury you under the ground.

He lie from there will be blood, and we weren’t even gonna explain it. The character’s name wasn’t Eli Jerry. Do you like pop tarts or is it just for the joke? I did love pop tarts. I had one yesterday.

We’re doing a social media piece with Jimmy found and Meghan Trainor. He took a bite and I went, this is fantastic. What I like about is the man made quality of it. I love great objects to fit in your hand in a nice way. A pack of cigarettes is one of the greatest things you could put in your hand.

Just feels great. Dice feel great. I like a nice spoon. I like things the Boston. Harold spoke to Bourbon entrepreneur Jim gaffigin also about the Pop Tarts movie, not about Bourbon.

Jim said, I’d been in communication with Jerry during the lockdown and he had been telling me that he was working on this project. I definitely wanted to be involved, but also being friends, I was not a friend begging to be in the movie. I was hoping you would ask, and I was thrilled when he wrote this part for me. ScreenRant talked to both Jerry and Jim. They got right to it.

Jerry looks like he asked all your friends in Hollywood who said no? And Jerry said, I don’t think anybody says no. There are some people weren’t available who I try. It’s hard to get to people because everybody’s so busy. Anyway, that’s good.

It’s really busy these days, so it’s hard to get people. Jim Gaffigan and said, scheduling is not a foregone conclusion. As we learned this week, Jerry did not ask Pop Tarts for permission. Pop Tarts is leaning in on the joke now. Olly Morton is the general manager of Portable Wholesome Snacks at Kelenova.

Kelenova also makes cheese It and Pringles in case you’re curious, Ally says, Jerry’s probably our biggest fan. There’s a piece here as a brand owner about stepping into that with trust. Our goal is to help fans engage with the film and really importantly enjoy a pop tart in hand while they’re watching the film. People were worried about Conan and O’Brien. Remember he was on hot ones.

At one point he was rubbing hot sauce into his skin. Conan said, I had a bunch of friends who saw my name all over Twitter, and the first assumption is he’s dead. I did if people say, oh my god, I thought finally. Conant said he was left with incredibly runny eyes and a mouth that really hurt. He also experienced burning on his skin.

Conan said, you wash your hands right afterward. But some of the sauce got underneath my wedding ring. I took it off and I was like, ooh, there’s acid underneath it. Conan says he doesn’t usually eat spicy food, but if I think I find something funny, I’ll do it and deal with it later. Angela Kinsey felt certain jokes about her Christian faith in the office were wrong, and spoke up about them.

She was on Rain Wilson’s podcast. She cited one episode in the third season in which the character of Angela was given a line she felt was super judgy against Oscar, a gay character on the show. She talked to You producer and show runner Greg Daniels about it. Angela in real life said, yeah, actually, there were one or two times in which there’d be a joke written for her that I thought was just really stereotypical. Maybe one note.

I’d like to think of her as a full, well rounded person. I do remember I went up to Greg and I was like, I can’t. I was just like, I don’t feel good about it. I don’t feel good about that. I don’t feel it’s what Jesus represented to me.

And he was like, okay, and he heard me, and he took the joke out. The episode was gay witch hunt and it already had so many of that type of joke, and he was like, Okay, let’s do Sydney first today. As we’ve been long this week, I’m gonna save the clips for next week, so I’ll read you some shows that don’t have clips, and unlike Milburn, most of the shows don’t have clips, so make mind chum of a little easier. Laura Coleman’s show is called Soft Animal. The description the poet Mary Oliver said, you should let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

The soft animal of my body wants to go through the McDonald’s drive through on a line bike. Somebody named Tom Cashman said, one of my favorite new comics rohann Arneil show is called Top of the Food Chain, an hour of conversational jokes and stories from a man that’s worked every job known to mankind. The jokes have been run up and down the East Coast of Australia. The only crowd not to enjoy them has been middle aged people from Cronula Local Humor. And that’s okay because Rohan doesn’t like them either.

Somebody named Becky Lucas said, I’m so jealous of how funny Rohan is, but I pushed down that feeling and I wish him well. Go see his show. And that’s the only review. We are deep diving on Sydney today, all right over to Netflix. Seven thirty Bill Burr eight o’clock, John Stewart and Friends.

Ten o’clock, Chris Rock’s Table Reads seven o’clock, Ronnie Chan seven thirty, Ali Wong, Well, John, why are you jumping all over the time, because that’s the way the website’s laid out. Seven o’clock, Tom Poppa, Mark Norman at seven and nine forty five, Catherine Cohen at seven, o Gilligan nine forty five. That’s stelling at seven, Dusty Sleigh at seven, that’s where we’re going. John Marco at seven. We’ll say Slowan nine forty five and a bunch of things I did not read to you.

Okay, we’re doing Dusty Sleigh at seven, and then we need a late show. Kind of don’t have any interest in Chris Rock’s table read. I’m sure it’d be funny, but like sitting there, I don’t know it’ll feel like to me Hollywood insiders making each other laugh. And that’s just I don’t want to do that late show. Mark Norman or Moe Gilligan.

Your choice. Norman is pretty strong. I haven’t seen him in a bit. Let’s do Dusty Slay and Mark Norman. That’s a good night of comedy.

The Guardian spoke to Nish Kumar, who said it would be very cool if I were named the next James Bond. Not sure why that was brought up in the article, but it was a relevant question. Who is your comedy hero? Nisch said, I grew up idolizing a lot of stand ups Chris Rock Marie at Bamford Bridget Christie at university. Instead of doing my degree, there was a three month period where I did an intensive Richard Pryor study.

Through illegal downloading, I got all of his comedy albums and I would listen to each in chronological order, and then build up to live in concert. I would say the intense focus I devoted to Prior’s comedy came really at the expense of my degree. Best heckel There’s no such thing as a good heckle. No hecklers have brought anything useful to a gig. Occasionally, somebody will say something involuntarily and apologize for it, and the thing they say will always be one hundred times funnier than anybody who deliberately and consciously heckels.

It’s one of the greatest myths about comedy that heckling helps us all of current audience behavior. He says things have settled back down recently. I think there was that initial wave of coming back after the pandemic, and people were quite not able to regulate how drunk they were. There’s a period where we all needed to readjust it being back out in public, which makes sense given we went through a collective trauma. You know, sometimes you’d think back to like remember that, like we didn’t leave the house for a year.

That happened. Daniel Van Kirk’s new album, Rose Gold, is out today. Rose Gold is a midwesterns man’s wish that we could all stop finding ways to disagree, start high fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments about the assumptions we make about a shaved head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldn’t be treated kindly, and teaches us all how to have a fight while putting some goodness into this world. Oh and I wanted to tell you about this one.

Not really comedy, but it’s got a good laugh at the end. All right, So there’s been this Internet thing where people have been trying to find this song. Have you seen this thing? Back in twenty twenty one, a user named Carl ninety two posted a seventeen second snippet of an eighty style music track at least forty eight thousand people in a I read a dedicated to the hunt for the full song. The song is being referred to as everyone knows that people look for physical and digital archives.

Couldn’t find the song, couldn’t find the artist. Conspiracy theories claimed the song was either AI generated or some sort of viral marketing stunt. Rolling Stone got involved, The Guardian got involved. Nobody could figure out the song. Eventually, the sleuths have figured out the title of the song is Ulterior Motives, and now they have found the song.

Where’s the song from? It’s from nineteen eighty six’s movie Angels of Passion. The description of Angels of Passion Two angels were sent back to Earth to provide some sexual satisfaction to the mortal humans. It’s that kind of movie. That’s where the song is from.

That is your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you want to get rid of those pesky commercials, go on Apple podcast Subscribe to Caloroga Shark Media Plus. You’ll get everything on the network four ninety nine a month.

Caloroga Shark Media. A lot going on, especially for two story week, which is Netflix and Seinfeld. But Late Night had a bunch of good jokes about the former president both being cold and falling asleep. Stephen Colbert said, so, either he’s falling asleep again, or he’s doing that little kid thing where he thinks if he can’t see you, no one can see him. Kimmel.

Eric Trump attended his dad’s porn star hush money trial, which in the Trump family is as close as he gets to playing catch in the yard. Colbert, so he paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars so his wife wouldn’t find out he didn’t have an affair. Milania, This is gonna be hard for you to hear, but you’re not the only woman I’m not having sex with. Fallon Trump was so cold he came this close to hugging Eric for warm. Fallon again commented on Trump calling the room an ice box.

Even Biden’s like, it’s called a freezer, you old man. If you want to keep up with all that stuff, listen to the Ballots podcast. We’re having a lot of fun putting that one together. Jerry Seinfeld had the Red carpet for Unfrosted. That’s the pop Tarts movie that’s out on Netflix tomorrow.

Jerry reunited with Michael Richards. You know Michael. He was Kreamer on the sitcom Seinfeld. You may have heard of that sitcom. This was their first appearance together since April twentieth, twenty sixteen.

Michael Richards has kept a pretty low profile after that whole thing at the Laugh Factory in November of two thousand and six. I at one point in the script was going to recap that incident for you, and I’m like, I don’t want to even dance with that devil. Look it up. Look up, Michael Richards, Laugh Factory. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re wondering what Jerry wore.

Well, Jerry wore a black dress shirt and black tie under a gun metal jacket. He also wore gun metal pants and shiny black dress shoes. He also had a black watch. What did Gramer wear? He’s not Kramer, He’s Michael Richards, but picture Creamer.

It’s more fun. Michael Richards wore a white and light gray Paisley dress shirt under a dark gray suit coat, matching pants and black shoes with some lightly hinted glasses.

Also on the Red Carpet, Seinfeldt’s family, wife Jessica, the three kids kids…

Now, Jerry was asked a hack question, what kind of pop tart do you like? Jerry not sugar. Cinnamon’s the only one I eat since the beginning. I don’t like other flavors, and I really don’t like the chocolate. He ones are the ones that are s’mores I hate.

I don’t like when they overdo it.

---

Also on the Red Carpet, Jay Leno and his wife Mavis.

You may recall that Mavis was diagnosed with dementia. Jay now has conservatorship. Jay said, thought it’d come to something fun for change. Everything is so controversial. Just come to a fun, silly movie.

It’s great. I think people have a great time. We hang out every day. We have a great time. Forty four years so we’re doing good.

Jay Leno is now seventy four. He, like Jerry, didn’t do anything special because he’s not a big birthday guy. Mavis said, neither of us are. We just have each other.

---

Also at the Red Carpet, Melissa McCarthy, Bill Burr and bourbon entrepreneur …

I didn’t get to this yesterday because we were getting long. Here’s a really fun clip. Jerry and the Pop Tart people got together during this clip. I don’t want to spoil it, you know what, Let me just let it roll, mister Seinfield, and I’m Kelmen P. Gasworth, the president of Pop Tarts.

I just read a whole movie about pop Tarts. Did you know? Well, isn’t that something? Do you think maybe that’s why you’re here? It’s me.

It’s my understanding that you neither sought nor received permission to use our product in your movie. Is that? What Tarty is asking is are you familiar with the concept of trademark infringement? That sounds complicated. Actually it’s quite simple.

You see, mister Seinfield, you took something of ours, Now we’re going to take something of yours. Show him Tarty, Swoopy Jackie Chas the Soup Nazi my characters. They’re my characters now, mister Seinfield, tell me, how does it feel when people steal your ideas and then do whatever they want with them, I mean, like friends. Well, I gotta get going. I got a show.

Tonight. No, you don’t. You’re not a comedian anymore. I am. Why is Frankenstein wearing a sport jacket.

It’s not a wine tasting. We’re terrorizing villagers. I mentioned yesterday, Jerry did an interview on In Depth with Graham Benziger. Some people notice Jerry’s hand is trembling during that video. I haven’t seen any follow up on that.

During the conversation, he discussed his marriage and said I was a very successful comedian. As a comedian, you think I don’t need anyone. That’s what a comedian thinks. This is not a good partner. Someone who doesn’t think they need anyone isn’t a good partner.

That’s why most comedians either fail at marriage or don’t even try. It’s really not for us. I wanted to see if I could do something I’m not really cut out for. He enjoys his children, saying you just want to watch them live, and the entertainment value of watching them try to live is the kids are very entertaining because they’re very primitive humans. You may have seen some press this week about Jerry’s about edgy comedy.

Jerry said, we did an episode of Seinfeld where Cramer decides to start a business of having homeless people pull rickshaws because, as he says, they’re outside anyway, You think I could get that episode on the air today, we would write a whole different joke with Kramer and the rickshaw. Today, we wouldn’t do that joke. We’d come up with another joke. I agree that joke would not get on NBC these days now. Rob McIlhenny kind of did a backhanded Instagram post or something suggesting that on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, they do that thing all the time.

That is true, But an NBC sitcom rickshaw joke wouldn’t happen these days. I agree with Jerry. If Larry David was thirty five, he couldn’t get away with watermelon stuff and Palestinian chicken. And HBO knows that’s what people come here for, but they’re not smart enough to figure out, how do we do this now? Do we take the heat or just not be funny?

And what they decided to be as well, we’re not going to do comedies anymore. There were no sitcoms picked up on the fall season on all four networks, not one. No new sitcoms. Vanity Fair talked about one of Jerry’s jokes, a pop tart joke that shows up in the special twenty three Hours to Kill. Jerry said he spent ten years testing the joke or finding it, making sure every beat hit just right before he committed it to film.

Over the years, Jerry would joke about making the pops Arts movie. Another co writer, Andy Robbins, suggested making the money like the right Stuff, except set in the serial world. That idea tickled Jerry, so they all started writing it. The cast Jim Gaffick and Amy Schumer. She’s actually doing press.

We’ll get to Amy, and got more about Amy on Saturday. Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, John Hamm, Sarah Cooper, who you know I’ve been the biggest fan of in the clips, looks pretty good in this. James Morriston, Peter Dinklage, Bill Burr, Dan Levy, Christian Slater, Sebastian Maniscalco, Cedric d Entertainer and Moore. I’m Cherry called out all the favors. But yeah, if Jerry As should have been a movie, you’re gonna go.

Yeah. I bet directors get mad at Jerry. Jerry said directing is nothing when you have an idea as a writer, you know how you want it to be. But most writers are not good at talking to people navigating a layered social situation. But as a comedian, I’m able to do that.

It’s just a way to streamline, just a writer making a movie. It’s all director is for me. Minor minor, minor or spoiler. I’ll give you three seconds here, oh babbel, but I’m not going to ruin the pop Tars movie for you. In the movie, Jerry’s character appears on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in a scene set in nineteen sixty three.

Jerry said, that was too fun because we made it the New York Tonight Show where Jimmy Fallon is now. We got Kyle Dunagan to do the Carson impression and then we did the CGI face replacement thing. It’s pretty flawless. The hardest part was getting the hair right, the set and his exact duplicate of his old set which we took from old video, and obviously the face is his face. Yeah, it’s really funny to go on The Tonight Show in nineteen sixty three for me.

Obviously, it was a dream come true that is a lot of fun looking forward to seeing that scene. That’s when I was first watching comedians and falling in love with them. Did Jerry write the film with certain actors in mind? The only person we knew was Jim Gaffigan was gonna play Edsel Kellogg, mostly because I thought he looked so perfect. He’s such a food guy, such a funny guy.

Because it was my friend, I knew he’d say yes. So we just knew we had him, but we didn’t know what anybody else. Now this is making me think Tom Poppo, who’s friend with Jerry, he needs to open for Jerry. Tom Papa’s like everyday look is like straight out of nineteen sixty three, Like he looks like he could have been in an episode of The Phil Silver Show. Is Papa not in this because he’s got the look more than Gafficking Another long podcast today, Amy Schumer doing press.

I’m guessing Jerry Beckon. Amy has clarified her stance on the ongoing Israel Hamas war after receiving backlash for her social media posts. Amy said, I don’t agree with anything that Netanya Who’s doing, and neither do the Israelis. I know, of course, what’s going on in Gaza’s sickening, horrifying and unthinkable. And I don’t think it’s okay to hate anyone because they were born Jewish.

It’s gotten to this place where you can’t speak up for other Jews without people feeling like it’s a slight to the conditions in Gaza. On Gossip Corner, John Stewart was at the next game. He did not have fun tyrese. Maxi scored forty six points against the Knicks seventy six Ers one twelve, Nicks one oh six. There was a screenshot of John Stewart’s reaction at the end of regulation time the game went to overtime, Maxie strained at thirty five foot three pointer to side the game at ninety seven with nine seconds on the clock.

Stuart was clearly unhappy, and his reaction showcase did. He went on Twitter and wrote, respect to Maxie, but damn, I’m clearly getting too old for this stuff. So I don’t want to confuse you guys, but I’m confused. I believe cant Williams Live Saturday night, ten pm Eastern. However, as I’ve been going through the Netflix schedule, I see the concert is at five Pacific, which is ACE Eastern.

But as I thought about it more, I guess there are openers and Cat himself will come on at ten o’clock. Maybe that makes sense. I already pre taped Saturday, so if you hear me getting confused on Saturday about that, I think the show’s actually on at ten, but just to be sure, you might want to tune in Netflix a little early. Sunday is the Roast of Tom Brady. We found out a few more people are going to be on the roast.

I’m a little worried about this event. I’m not seeing too many comedian names. Bill Belichick will be on the roast. Okay, that’s a lot of fun. Randy Moss, Julian Edelman, Drew Bledsoe, and Ron Gornkowski all famous comedians if you follow the comedy NFL, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck is probable, and Kevin Hart.

Where are the comedians? Is this thing a bomb? The comedians not want of roast Tom Brady? I’m a little worried here. What’s going on?

More from that Vulture profile of Robbie Prau, who runs the Netflix Festival in Netflix Comedy, they asked, were you surprised how well Matt Rife special did last year. Robbie said, I can’t speak to the specifics of each individual deal in that way, but if you look at the profile Matt Rife, there are very few comedians that are young. He’s coming to this marketplace and is speaking to an audience that most other comedians aren’t speaking to. It’s very cool to watch the next generation of comedians kind of pop up right in front of our eyes. Two other examples Andrew Schultz and Shane Gillis.

We did a special Chane last year. It took a flyer on it and he’s going to sell out the Crypto Arena, the Forum and the Greek follow up question, is the festival designed to spotlight newer acts? Robbie said, We’ve had a steady stream of multi comic specials. I’m in my office right now and I’m looking at the first multi coomic special that we did in twenty seventeen, which is called The stand Ups. There were six comedians, but the first person was Nate Pergatzy.

The same night we were filming a Fortune Fimester special. She was one of the six people on the stand Ups. The next person was Dean Cole. Then we had Nicky Glazer, who’s gonna be on the roast of Tom Brady. Oh look, well we just learned, as well as Beth Stelling, who we just launched a special with about six months ago.

We see somebody film something, we look at it and say, hey, we have a real opportunity for this person to explode on Netflix with us. A few years ago, we did a show called The Comedy Lineup. One of the stars of that show was Michelle Butteu. Another star was Taylor Tomlinson. He was asked about Chappelle, Robbie said, I respect the fact that certainly some folks won’t respond to certain things, But the end of the day, we want to give people options.

Part of that is, some people’s favorite thing to do on a Saturday night might be to watch a Dave Chappelle special. For some people might be Taylor Thompson or May Martin or Sarah Silverman, John Mlaney or Chris Rock And we don’t want to block those choices for our members. We want to give them the option. Our members have the ability of clicking on something, they have ability to shut off something. A lot more to that, I’ll get into that more next week.

Let’s see who’s at Netflix two nights on Thursday, All Time Specific seven thirty, Jerry, Jim, Nate and Sebastian want of Psikes at eight, Ralph Barbosa seven and nine forty five, Dian Cole six thirty and nine thirty, Joe List at seven, Gary Owhen at seven thirty, John Marco Cireesi at seven, Steph Toleve at eight, Master Brownis seven thirty nine forty five, and some other shows. I didn’t read to you, all right, I know what I’m gonna make you do tonight. You’re gonna follow me, and I’m gonna make you go see John Marco Cesi and then we’re gonna go see Moz. That is a good night over at the Sydney Comedy Festival. I won’t do clips today as we’re getting a little long, and I’ll save them for next week when there’s less going on.

Andrew Maxwell’s show is called Live in Sydney. He’s been a very busy boy. He’s grown a beard, made more people on loads of Telly, supported Jim Jefferies in front of around one hundred thousand people on his European tour, and he’s even started a podcast. The Daily Mirror said, if you can only see one stand up backed see Maxwell. That’s how I praise five stars.

Australia’s Funniest Lawyers are at the Comedy Store. Australia’s Funniest Lawyers features a lineup of criminal prosecutors, barristers, government regulators and corporate solicitors who are also funny. Four comedians who will each perform twelve to fifteen minutes of material. Daniel Town’s show is called Let’s Go the way the young Us do that whole Let’s Go thing. The description new show big Comedy Times with one of the best stand ups the Australian scene has birthed.

GQ said, pound for pound one of the best Australian stand ups going around. Oh I forgot to tell you yesterday Jim Gaffigan mocked Governor Christy nom You know the puppy killing governor that one. Jim said, I just hope Christy Nome’s doing okay. Are the people in the country that are like, you know what, she should have shot two dogs. There’s a way to wrap a podcast with a good laugh.

John. If you join the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you’d like this thing without the ads, wait to light get up in the morning, and you’ll get the commercial free version probably before eight am Eastern.

Become a subscriber on Apple Podcasts. I had a phone call with the back end people. We’re trying to figure that out, so we we’ll just automatically be commercial three at three h five am Eastern, but not yet. I don’t want to overpromise to you, but like, if you live in say Central Time, and your name is Becky, you’re not up in the morning, you can wait an hour. It’ll be there when you get up.

That’s a great day.

Caloroga Shark Media. Yeah, I’m gonna talk Jerry Seinfelt some good stuff with Jerry today, but we’ll do that in like five minutes. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News as expected late night, when all in on Christy Noom killing her puppy. That’s not funny, but the jokes are. Stephen Colbert said in her new book, Noam admitted to killing her dog.

Now, I know that sounds terrible, but it’s a much worse. No twist there. That’s it. That’s the whole joke. But I think it’s really good.

More from Colbert. She thought that telling the story would make her look cool. What’s going on? Does she think kats can vote when you’re trying to win over voters? I’m not sure that being the bad guy in a John Wick movie is the best way to go.

Golbert again, Governor n him. If you don’t like untrainable animals that wolf down chicken, I’ve got bad news for you about your party’s nominee. That’s a great one. So then she shot the goat in the pit. And I don’t want to get into semantics here, but if there’s two dead animals, in there.

It’s no longer a gravel pit. It’s a dead animal pit featuring gravel. Colbert on fire here again. By the way, the actual title of her book where she tells the story is No Going Back, which is better than her first draft, Old Yeller two, he had it coming and all dogs go to gravel pit. Ah, I’m a dog lover.

There’s This story is so sad, but the jokes are good. Jimmy Fallon added, but who among us hasn’t seen a dog running through the fields? Not a care in the world. In thought he deserved to die. Kimmel said, just a recap for those who were horrified that she shot a puppy and a goat, she’d like you to know she also shoots horses.

Not one person on her staff raised their hand and said, uh, Governor, you think maybe it’s not a great idea to share that story about shooting a whole pettings you at your house.

Meanwhile, good comedy coming out of President Trump’s trial.

By the way, check out the Ballot podcast five ten minutes a day making fun of all things politics. Ballot Bault, Jimmy Fallon joked, former President Trump has been complaining during his hush money trial, that the courtroom is too cold, and Stormy Daniels was like, your honor, I’ve heard that excuse before. Seth Meyers said, Trump’s broken nine out of the ten commandments, and he came pretty close to getting Mike Penns killed on January sixth. That would have been ten out of ten. The Netflix Comedy Festival starts today.

In my opinion, and now that there’s not just for last Montreal, this is the biggest one of the year. A twelve day festival, more than five hundred shows spread out across nearly three dozen la venues. Performers include Chris Rox, Sarah Silverman, Cat Williams, John Maliney, Ali Wang, Matt Riiche, Fortune Fiemster, and a bunch of younger stars. This time, three of the shows are live. There’s the Cat Williams concert on Saturday night that has me debating should I blow off this event in Cleveland and stay home in cant Williams I probably should, right, I mean a host a Daily Comedy News podcast and Cat Williams is going to make a lot of news.

I mean I should be home watch that thing. Why would I go to Cleveland? That’d be crazy? Sunday Night the Roast of Tom Brady, and there’s the six night sketch slash variety series called John Mulaney Presents Everybody’s In LA, where John Mulaney is expected to interact with dozens of the biggest names performing at the festival. Robbie Prau, who runs the thing for Netflix, said there’s some trade offs doing the specials live.

He says the presentation might not be as polished, or there could be technical snaff who’s which throw off a performers pacing, And given that most viewing takes place down the road on demand, the argument against live is maybe you hurt the long tail of the project when it’s not edited and polished, but we’re trying to replicate the feeling of sitting in the room. Robbie also says, yeah, that’s a great promotional tool with the whole live aspect, unless you’re in Cleveland and you can’t watch Kat Williams live. The first live event is John Mulaney on May third. Robbie says, it’s called Everybody’s in LA because everyone’s here for the festival, so we thought it made a lot of sense to mlleniy kick off the festival. For people in la you can’t miss that the festival’s happening.

We’re in so many venues and there’s so much publicity for it in LA. As For details, they’re being vague. Robbie says the episodes will be somewhere between forty and sixty minutes something like that. It’s really about exploring La in the week where the funniest people are here. Mulaney has a mastered treasure trove for the biggest comedy stars in the world.

There’s sketches, there’s in studio moments. I’m gonna leave it to Malanie to define a show a little bit more. Some of us in the Facebook group we’re wondering how much of this would actually show up on Netflix. Guys, we’re going to be disappointed. Robbie says, I think we’ve pretty much announced at this point everything that we’re taping.

We’re taping Ali Wang, Dean Cole, we’re tapping another program of up and comers that we’ll be putting on YouTube. But I think it’s pretty similar to last time. I mean, fundamentally, this is about celebrating comedy. That’s our north star here, all right. So for those of us who are hoping we were going to get a ton of comedy specials.

It sounds like we’re not. They asked Robbie about just for laughs. That’s where I know Robbie from. He says, I think just for last we’ll be back. It’s such an important festival and so unbelievably important for emerging comedians.

I don’t really correlate what we’re doing here. This is what happened there. I think events like this are very important. There was just a great festival in Austin, and there’s the Edinburgh Festival, Fringe and some other very important festivals around the world. We just hope that they all stay healthy.

I think we’re kind of blown away that this thing has grown so quickly in a short period of time. They asked him about the reset in payments, and he said, we’ve licensed some things. It’s generally pretty similar to when I started. When we started doing these things ten years ago, it was a moment when stand up comedy was really valued at Netflix, but the marketplace outside of here was really quiet. I was going to twenty twenty four.

I think we’re seeing so many signals from the marketplace that there’s a lot more interested in stand up comedy, and I’m not just talking about the other networks. I’m talking about comedians flourishing on TikTok or YouTube or their own podcasts. There’s an ecosystem for stand up that didn’t exist ten years ago, and it’s a much bigger business now than it’s ever been twenty years ago. When I started, there was maybe one act that could do an arena every two years. It was like a Dice or maybe Blue Collar or King’s of Comedy.

If you look at this festival, I think there are fifteen shows at the level in just twelve days. I agree with them there are a lot of people that can fill big buildings. That was not true. Yeah, all right, I’ll do more of that article tomorrow because I’ve got other things I want to get to today. The La Times profile the twenty five shows.

They definitely plan to check out one of them tonight at the Hollywood Bowl Nate Bergatzye, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jerry Seinfeld and Bourban entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan. That is a pretty strong show where Sebastian’s a bit of an outlier there to me stylistically. They’re also excited to see at the Vermont Hollywood Tonight, Ralph Barbosa La Times Right. It’s few comics are hitting Netflix as hard as Ralph Barbosa, with four shows, including two with the Vermont Hollywood to be taped for an upcoming special. They’re excited about Ali Wang, Steph Tolev at the Comedy Store.

On the second, the minute, Steph Tolev takes center stage at the Comedy Store, possibly in a jumpsuit, and no one will be safe, Bill Byrd at the Hollywood Bowl. And the third we know all about Bill Kat Williams on the fourth, you know that’s live on Netflix. I’m looking forward to. Oh, I have to go to Cleveland. I’m just giving my friend in Cleveland a hard time.

I’m going to be there. Relax. You think I’m gonna blow you off and stay home and watch Cat Williams and record a podcast in the basement. Does that sound like something I would do? Roywood Juniors at the Blasco on the fourth, the roast of Tom Brady.

Still no word on who’s actually on this thing, and it’s getting kind of close here. That’s weird to me. I’m like, are they gonna just show off and have superstars or people avoiding this one for some reason, I don’t know. The l eight Times is excited about Princess at the Hollywood Palladium May fifth, what’s that? And they write, if you like funny and you love Prince, you have to check out Princess.

You can sing and dance along with the comedy stylings of Maya Rudolph. Yeah No, No thanks. A Sindbad tribute show with the YouTube Theater on the sixth Dean Cole Deal, Huglee Byron Alan, Mark Curry and others on that one. Gods of Comedy with David Letterman May sixth to the eighth at the Montlebond Theater. Seth Rogan smokes the Bowl at the Hollywood Bowl.

May seventh, Snooped Little Dicky, Ronny Chieng, Janelle James, Rommi yousef. That’s a good show, Seth Rogan has said, and you can smoke wheed inside. They won’t kick you out. I am a clean liver, but that sounds like a lot of fun. May seventh, the United Theater, Hannah Gatsby and close personal acquaintances, some of whom they’ve never met.

Unclear who’s on that one. See Christina pe at the Masonic Lodge on the eighth, Matt Rife at the Hollywood Bowl on the eighth, Tom Sigore at the Kia Forum on the ninth, Jessnik on the tenth, Krasier on the eleventh. Jack Junior, they’re excited about Jack Asidorian aka Jack Junior comes from a comedy family, growing up watching stand up at his parents comedy club, the Haha North Hollywood. Punchlines are in his blood. He jokes about his upbringing a mix of Mexican and Armenian heritage.

Not familiar with Jack Junior, They’re excited about Nate Jackson at the Palace on May eleventh. Though plenty of comics view crowd work is part of the job, Nate Jackson has made it the springboard of a career. If you like being made into a huge human, s’more, go ahead and make sure you’re somewhere in his line of village. No, what’s line of village? That’s one of those I bespoke, obviously, line of vision.

Could I edit that? I could? Did? I know? Why not?

It’s funnier line of village. I guess I should just do the Who’s playing at Netflix tonight? Thing? While we’re this deep into the weeds, low tickets warning for Seinfeld, Gaff Again, Bergatsy and Sebastian, and then two shows at the Vermont in Hollywood, both called introducing a curated lineup of nine exciting fresh voices. They are Ashama Franklin, Dylan Carlino, Mondal Serini, We’re Sekira, Alec Flynn, c Lorelis Mora, kel creepe Renee Vodka, Ryan good Case.

I am unfamiliar with all of those. Ralph Barbosa is your host. If we were in Hollywood tonight, we would have to go to the Seinfeld, Gaff Again, et cetera show at the Bowl at seven, and then we could try and make the introducing show at ninth thirty to see the up and comers that one says taping, so that should be on Netflix eventually getting along here, Conan, You’re getting bumped to tomorrow’s podcast, and I’m kind of jerried out. Should we take a break from Jerry? There is a thing I wanted to share.

Some people noticed that Jerry’s hand was shaking during an interview with Graham Beninger. Some people online are wondering does Jerry have Parkinson’s disease. One fan wrote on social media. Has Jerry been diagnosed with anything? It seems to be shaking a lot.

Another person said Jerry is showing signs of Parkins’s some tremmors. I have watched a few interviews with Jerry this week. I did not notice anything. Let’s hope Jerry’s doing okay at the Sydney Comedy Fest. Of all, Alex reynolds show is called Scrum No clip, but there’s a picture of him in what appears to be a soccer jersey, perhaps Rugby.

Delivered with a commitment to character that is intense, shocking and laugh out loud funny. You cannot miss Scrum the age as Alex Reynolds is stand out in the world, building characterizations, facial expressions and physical comedy, getting the largest laugh in any sketch. The advertiser said, relatable and likable. Alex Hamilton’s show is called sword Bloke. It’s been two years since he was released from prison after selling psychedelic drugs for over a decade.

He thought if he stopped breaking the law, he’d instantly become a better person. He didn’t s Word Bloke is the follow up to his smash hit debut show jokes about the time I went to prison. One of the rising stars of Australian comedy. He’s a member of the viral YouTube channel Yeah Mad TV. You’ll find him at the Factory Theater trying to move a little faster here today.

I don’t want this podcast to be half an hour. Paullie Shore says he was up all night crying after Richard Simmons publicly disapproved of his biopic Pauli Shore Wants to play Richard Simmons. On April fourth, Richard Simmons went on Twitter and said he did not approve of Pauli Shore’s biopick. Simmons stated that he himself was in talks to create his own film. The next day, Pauli Shure responded to the post with a heartbroken message on Instagram.

He said he requested a meeting with Richard Simmons and told them Richard, You’ll love the movie. He insists he’s the best person to play Richard Simmons. He says, everybody already thinks I’m you. We’re the same, beautiful inside and out. Hell yeah.

Pauly Shure did point out that many other biopics haven’t done without the subject of the film A Green to be part of it. Some of the names he included were Elvis, Presley, Stephen Hawking, Steve Jobs, and Moore. The greats, Presley, Hawking, Steve Jobs. Simmons sure admitted that some of those movies were good while others were bad. He says his will be Amaze Balls and that’s your comedy news for today.

If you would like these episodes commercial free, two things you gotta do. One, you go to Apple Podcasts and you sign up for CALLI Rouga Shark Plus four ninety nine a month. You’ll get this ad free and all the other shows on the network ad free. The other thing you have to do is you have to wait for me to get out of bed, because I’ve been explaining I can’t preschedule the commercial free version because reasons, ask Apple, so I have to get a but in the morning, do it manually. Now, if you were listening yesterday, you had this thing before seven am because my dogs kept waking me up, so it was up and I’m like, all right, I’ll upload the show, all right, see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jerry Seinfeld making a lot of buzz with this clip from the New Yorker Radio Hour. Let’s listen, nothing really affects comedy. People always need it.

They need it so badly, and they don’t get it. It used to be you would go home at the end of the day. Most people would go, oh, Cheers is on, Oh Mash is on, Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on. All the Family’s on. You just expected there’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.

Well guess what where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands committees groups. Here’s our thought about this joke. Well, that’s the end of your comedy.

They move the gates, like in the schime Yea culture. The gates are moving. Your job is to be agile and clever enough that wherever they put the gates, I’m gonna make the gate. I agree with Jerry there. The Independent does not agree with Jerry nor me.

Under the headline, Jerry Seinfeld is wrong about the extreme left ruining comedy. Adam White writes, and this is a week opener because it’s so hack I read it for batim. What’s the deal with wokeness? Jerry Seinfeld probably whispers to himself while reclining in his bathtub of money. Over the course of his forty plus years in show business, the billionaire, observational comedian and actor has embodied a number of different guys.

Is the stand up the sitcom star, the maker of b movie, and now he’s embraced another persona the kind of truthfully must be resisted by all the latent life scold. Somebody’s not a fan of Jerry, Apparently. If you feel like you’ve heard Seinfeld say this already, you’re probably just confusing him with one of the other Yester Year comics who’ve mounted impassion condemnations of cancel culture. John Clees, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy co Ricky Tervay’s and French and Saunders have all insisted they can’t say anything more, usually from the stages of their Netflix specials their GP News chat shows. Yes, it’s the super unsuccessful Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Carr, and Ricky Tervais.

Nobody likes them. Seinfeld’s claims are particularly annoying, though. If it feels like there’s been a dearth of new comedy on TV lately, it’s probably to do with our modern day viewing habits, which favor comforting nostalgia over new ideas. I’m kind of already sic of Jerry Seinfeld stories. If you are too, It’s going to be a long week.

The pops Hearts movie Unfrosted opens on Friday. It co stars bourbon entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan. Amy Schumer is in this as well. We haven’t seen Amy do any press yet. Let me take one more look, I think I look this morning.

Nothing from Amy yet, Jim, I’ve seen a little. I pushed that to Friday, but it’s gonna be a long week. From that New Yorker interview, Jerry says Chris Rock is the smartest person maybe I’ve ever met. I was with Chris a couple weeks ago. He was talking about a young comic who’s asking the comedian about what he did that day, and the guy said, nothing, but I’m going to do a set tonight and Chris explain to him, you make money during the day, you collected at night.

During the day is where the money is made. Jerry says, Comedians don’t generally think they have to do more than perform on stage every night. They don’t think there’s more to it than that. But there’s quite a bit more to it. If you have a really solid work ethic and have some sense of writing, you can move into different fields more easily.

They asked Jerry what working means for him. He said, if anyone cares, here’s what I did. I’ve been reading a lot of Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations book, which I’m sure you probably read when you were fourteen. And the funny thing about that book is he talks a lot about the fallacy of even thinking of leaving a legacy, thinking your life is important, thinking anything’s important, the ego and fallacy of at the vanity of it. And his book, of course, disproves it all because he wrote this thing for himself and it lived on centuries beyond his life, affecting other people.

So he defeats his own argument in the quality of the book. I’ve adopted the Marcus Aurelius philosophy, which is that everything I’ve done means nothing. I don’t think for a second that’ll ever mean anything to anyone ten days after I’m dead. As for the Pop Tarts movie, how did it come together? Jerry said on Zoom we have a meeting and the four of us, four comedy writers who love each other’s sense of humor.

I do a twenty minute warm up of just anything of nonsense. What’d you do last night? What j eat? What you watch? You can start laughing and having fun.

That’s how comedy is done. You can’t have anybody in the room who doesn’t have the scene Breen disaffection. There’s a lot of really vile profinity complaining about absolutely everything and anything, and then you go, okay, where were we working on that scene yesterday? What was that scene? Where were gonna go from here?

And then you start to write. But you’re in this mood now, and that’s how you write comedy. If somebody else walks in the room, you have to stop and go what do you want? Yeah? I know, dinner’s fine, six fine?

Okay? Jerry? Did you love pop Tarts growing up? Ah? Yeah?

How about now? Still? Yeah? I love them? I needed for breakfast they did after a bad show on Wednesday night?

Do you fall up there, Jerry? When have you ever had a bad show? A lot of times? I mean to me, bad shows. I’m gonna do four new pieces tonight, three of them tank.

It’s a frustrating night. The show’s still good. But I was trying to do You’re always trying to forge ahead. Did Kelloggs know they were going to do this? No?

No, We only called them three weeks ago to tell them. By the way, we found a lawyer in the valley. We asked you, I write us a letter saying this is okay to do that we can show to Netflix follow up, so there’s no fee paid to kellogg or no pervision given or taken. Jerry said, no, you think Kelloggs would make a movie where people lose their lives trying to invent to pastry.

Meanwhile, Jerry was on in Depth with Graham Benzinger and Fox recap this.

Jerry said he wrestles with a darkening mood. Jerry says, sometimes I just don’t feel good, and the best way to get out of it for me is work. Work is the best antidote. That’s why I work so much. Because for some reason, you feel like you’re not wasting time.

I realized this tendency to get depressed. I’d never want to have that if I would lose the creative gift that came with it. It’s part of an overactive brain. I wouldn’t call it real depression. I don’t know the word for it.

The mood darkens. I get a darkening mood, and I want to get out of it more. Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius says, your only focus should be on getting better what you’re doing. Focus on what you’re doing, get better what you’re doing.

Everything else is a complete waste of time. So I have this movie coming out. I’m so excited to read the worst reviews unfrosted out Friday. I put out another sub stack yesterday, this one titled one star reviews. The Substack is free.

Link in the show notes the nature of the substack platform. They might ask you to pay for it. Don’t pay for it, just click the free subscription. I’m not charging for that at all. Unless you gotten exttion a million dollars.

Then if you want to tip, make fine or just you know, buy me two hundred thousand iced coffees. But if you do that, please send over a refrigerator, because I’ll have to put them somewhere. We’ve got subscriptions up and running. Four ninety nine gets you all the shows on the platform commercial free, as I’ve explained a few times, and I’ll stop doing this soon. I can’t publish the commercial free version until the commercial leaden version is out there on Apple Podcasts.

This show goes out of three h five am Eastern. When I got up in the morning, I flip open the laptop and I upload the commercial free version. On Monday, it was up at seven fifty am. All right, So if you’re up between like three and eight am, I don’t have a solution yet. I wish I did.

I’m trying to figure this out, but I can’t. After like eight am, you should be able to get the newest episode commercial free, and the archives will be commercial free. Russell Brand announced that he was getting baptized this Sunday. I’m taking the plunge. I’m getting baptized.

Like it says in Galatians, you can live as an enlightened and awakened person. Chelsea Handler wants to support the WNBA her plan to boost TV viewership. She’s going to go topless at court side. We’ll see if she actually does this. She was on Twitter where she shared her plan and said how to keep the Caitlin Clark effect going?

You know, Chelsea Handler used to date Joe Coy. That’s it. That’s just my complete thought. I don’t know what you thought was gonna happen there. She used to date Joekoi from the Sydney Comedy Festival.

Ben Hunter’s show is I will refund your ticket in ten years, I promise. I’m going to have to interrupt a few times here, right, So the first joke here, he’s holding up a drawing of coins. He has like impressions. I’ve been working on some impressions. Is okay if I show you some of them.

This is an impression of some coins. This is an impression of my credit card. Okay, another drawing. This is an impression of my nipple. This is an impression of my other nipple.

That time the second nipple is larger and same idea for the rest of the bid. Here. This is an impression of my mom. It’s nice. This is an impression of my dad.

Come to the tip with me. Thanks guys. This is an impression of the other side of the coins from before. I just flipped the mofa kind of fun, pretty visual. Sydney’s not like Melbourne.

There are a lot fewer clips for me to share. I’ve really had a dive on all these Steen rascopolos. His show is called Friendly Stranger. I like the description friendly Stranger. I thought Stein brought the show to Sydney last year.

Yeah, but it was sold out. You couldn’t get a ticket. And so he’s back again with an updated and even better version. A stranger is a new friend you haven’t met yet. It could be a dog on the street, a curist, baby, or a performer who warmly invites you on stage.

So this is another visual clip. Again, this is what’s available, but this is really funny. I’ve shared it in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. The gimmick here is he brings people up and has them stand in picture frames, so the people from the audience are the artwork and they have to act out the narration that you’re about to hear. Very funny but as visual.

In the clip, you’re about to hear the narration is about a father and a son, but it’s actually a father and a daughter, and Steen made sure that they’re on the wrong side to make the narration funnier. Hello, and welcome to the Museum of Pretense Art. The first artwork you see is a painting by Australian artist Gareth Tinney entitled Fisherman and his Son. Oh. You see an old fisherman casting his rod with his right hand whilst lovingly swinging his left arm around his son’s neck.

The sun is holding fish and smiling. It’s a very, very exaggerated smile. Some art experts believe if you look at the painting from left to right, oh, it can actually be interpreted as a hostage situation. Wow. Again.

It’s in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. Give it a listen and that is your company news for today. If you’d like the show ad free, push that subscription button on Apple Podcast. I explained that earlier. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Happy birthday. Jerry Seinfeld is seventy today. We’ll get to that. It was the White House Correspondent’s dinner.

Jerry was not there. Colin Jost was your host. Let’s listen to some of his monologue. His delivery was quite deliberate, so I have edited this for pacing. I didn’t know you were going to show up photos with me from high school.

Yes, yeah, it’s not really fair. You can’t do it for President Biden because the technology wasn’t invented when he was in high school. It’s not really fair. Good evening, everyone. I’m Colin Jost, and I’ll be delivering the Republican response.

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t have a lot of time. I need to get back to New York because i’m jur number five on a big trial. Trump’s lawyer took one look at me and he’s like, he’s gotta be on our side. Thank you Kelly for that very kind introduction.

Mister President, doctor Biden, Vice President Harris Doug Doug. As you can tell from all the comments about my wife, I’m also used to being the second gentleman, and I am honored to be here hosting what is, according to swing state polls, the final White House Correspondence dinner. I hope that tonight will be a night to remember for most of us. I was excited to be up here on stage with President Biden to night, mostly to see if I could figure out where Obama was pulling the strings from. I have to admit it’s not easy following President Biden.

I mean, it’s not always easy following what he’s saying. Like Jost, also mark the age of both candidates. This is a good one. I’m not saying both candidates are old, but you know, Jimmy Carter’s out there thinking I could maybe win this thing. That’s great, Jost again, can we acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the United States an event that doesn’t begin with a bailiff saying all rise, that’s awesome.

Trump ignored the dinner for the most part on social media. After one am, he jumped on truth social and wrote, the White House Correspondence dinner was really bad. Colin Joe’s bombed and Cricket Joe was an absolute disaster. Doesn’t get much worse than this, Oh, it does get much worse. Than this.

Let’s listen to Matt Friend. Matt’s been in the news lately. His Trump is okay, but I can think of at least three people who do a better Trump. They are Shane Gillis, James Adomian, and James Austin Johnson, all much better. I’m gonna let Friend go a little bit here.

Tough for him, to be sure, but the material is not great. I’ll let this roll until he gets to the joke that’s being picked up on the news. I’ve also scoped this down for pacing and just pain. I mean, this set is so rough. Jim Gaffigan is like, can I come in and save this by hawking subourbon?

All right, so third day in a row. I’m gonna tell you you might want to hit thirty seconds skip twice. Matt Friend bombed. Let’s listen. I will tell you it is really a tremendous opportunity to be at the most failed dinner anybody’s ever seen.

Great to see you, losers. A lot of people say that, Hello everybody, why is it so quiet? What’s happening? It’s quieter than sleepy Joe? Hello Joe, how are you great?

To see you? We’re going to debate, right, that’s what they’re saying. There’s a lot of stars here. There’s a lot of great people. There’s Scarlett Johannesburg.

Scarlett is here from Black Widow. I love the blacks, I really love the blacks. It’s true. You have a lot of people that could potentially be a vice president. You have Lara Trump, who’s a lot better than Rona McDonald.

Who does it? Love Rona McDonald? Right, I’m loving it. You like a happy meal, right, you like that, Bob. I will tell you this.

You’re so tight, it’s so uptight. Right, This dinner is sadder than Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured President’s Department. Right, you look at him, the white tuxio. It doesn’t like me too much. Right, But I will tell you the Chinese apps are being banned.

It’s horrible. We have to post our David Pecker’s on Snapchat. Now, that’s what they’re saying. Let’s face it, folks, I’m on fire right now, like the guy outside the courthouse. Right, not soon enough, not soon enough.

But I will tell you I am killing this dinner harder than Christy Nome kills the puppies.

Moving on place, the President himself did some stand up.

Here’s Joe the twenty twenty four elections in full, sweet and yes, age is an issue. I’m a grown man running against a six year old. Joe had more. He said, I’ve had a great stretch since the State of the Union, but Donald does that a few rough days lately. You might call it stormy weather.

I see what you did there, Joe. You know who else was there, Joe Koy. Yeah, it was weird. It was all of a sudden, Joe KOI got up there and he told this just horrible, mean joke about Skyrol Swift. It didn’t make any sense at all in the middle of the White House correspondents dinner.

But here’s Joe. We have fewer camera shots at Taylor Swift. Jerry Sidfeld is seventy today. Happy birthday, Jerry. That makes me feel a million years old.

But I’m like a one hundred thousand years old now, so I guess it makes sense. Jerry, when he was on the Today Show recently, was asked about his birthday and he said, I don’t really have any interest in it now. What it is, boy, I could really live a lot less stuff things people activities. I’m not doing nothing anymore. In case you missed it, Jerry’s out promoting pop Tarts movie Unfrosted.

I finally learned the title of it. He’s directing it or he did direct it directing. Yeah, somebody’s got to tell these people what to do. They asked him, do you want to do it? Or should we get someone else to do it?

And he said, I’ll tell them. Big article in Variety titled stand up comedian Tony hingecliff on defending Matt Rife, the Killed Tony Podcast and never apologizing after using a racial slur back in twenty twenty one, Hinchcliffe tells Variety, when you step into a dark, dingy comedy club, what do you want to see? Think about it like a strip club. Do you want to see girls in a dress? Or do you want to see nasty things?

You want ping pong balls flying at your head? Thanks for that image from the Variety profile. Moving to La in two thousand and seven, Hinchcliffe made a name for himself a clubs for insulting both the audience and other comics and being willing to broach any topic. He began opening for comics like Joe Rogan and Jeff Ross. In twenty thirteen, he launched the wonderful podcast Kill Tony.

If you’ve never checked out Kill Tony, I like listening to it. There’s a video version as well. I kind of like listening to it. It’s the theater of the Mind of It. With co host Brian Redman.

The podcast is fame for its bucket of destiny, giving aspiring and season comedians a shot at performing a stand up set for sixty seconds. Receiving feedback from the judges. It is a wonderful podcast. In May twenty twenty one, Hingecliff got into a little kerfluffle right. He says, a racial slur heroled that fellow comedian in Asian American Pang Dang during a gig in Austin catapulted him into a world win of backlash.

The incident, caught on video and put on social media, resulted in Hinchcliffe being dropped by his agency. Tony says number one rule is never apologize. He’s leaned into it even more. In October twenty twenty three, he went on a podcast called Triggernometry and made some light comedic accusations, calling Dang a Chinese spy, further describing the incident as an orchestrated attack by the Chinese media. Dang has responded saying I thought most spuys gathered classified information related to science, technology, or government affairs.

Why would any country said a spy to be a stand up comedian? What kind of intelligence would I get from doing comedy? Asked him about Netflix is a joke. The big festival that starts this week, Tony said, I’m looking forward to being the Netflix outlier. We surprise the industry when we put our tickets on sale for the YouTube theater and they sold out in a couple hours.

Comedians are watching comedians do comedy on Kill Tony, I’m using a pro wrestling model. Anything can happen, and it’s ridiculously exciting. You could watch someone’s entire life change in front of your eyes. Everybody that we pull out of that bucket has a chance. Yeah.

It is a fantastic podcast. Even me reading this to you today is encouraging me to catch up on it. I’m so so way behind them on podcast so a lot of times I’ll listen to pods as I’m drifting off to sleep, and I noticed it this week. I’m listening to things like three minutes at a time. I’ve been enjoying Joe Rogan talking to the guy that’s trying to convince us that the moon landing wasn’t real.

As I’ve explained before, I like listening to Rogan as I drift off because if there’s no yelling, there’s no shouting, it’s calm and concurrently to that, I can believe in the moon landing. Variety reports that Bow and Yang will start in a remake of The Wedding banquety nineteen ninety three rom com Ellen Degenerous has complained that she’s been kicked out of show business for being mean. This part of her comedy tour. Ellen is a pretty good stand up for at least was thirty years ago, so she’s back. Ellen said, I became this one dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced up steps.

Do you know how hard it is to dance up steps? What a mean person dance up steps? Had I ended my show by saying, go f yourself, people would have been presently surprised. She reminds people she’s been kicked out of entertainment before, when she came out as gay in the nineties and joked, eventually it kicked me out for a third time because I mean old and gay. Ellen says, I hated the way that the show ended.

I love that show so much, and I just hated that the last time people would see me is in that way. Ellen’s last stand Dot Dot Dot Up Tour will eventually be a Netflix special. That’s cool, She’ll tape that in the fall. Netflix is building excitement for Beverly Hills Cop four, which is what we’re all gonna call it, even if they call it Beverly Hills Cop Colon axel F. There’s a new promo.

It features NFL quarterback Jared Golf sharing insights he gained from the character axel Fully. That sounds so lame. Actually, I tried to pull the clip. It actually was so lame. You would kind of hope Jim Gaffigan would show up and start hawking bourbon.

In Beverly Hills Cop four aka Beverly Hills Cop Colon axel F, Eddie Murphy is axel Fully, who returns to California after a long hiatus when his daughter fases a threat. Fully is pulled back into the world of crime solving. Returning to Beverly Hills to investigate the mysterious death of a close friend. The Sydney Comedy Festival A little light early in the week. Tonight It’s the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase, a secret lineup promising to bring the very finest comics from Australia and beyond, boasting both household names and the next gen of comedy superstars.

Let me tell you about Taylor Swift. No, no, not her, Taylor Jswift. This from people. This Taylor Swift first learned of the singer when he was fifteen. He said, at first, I thought it was no big deal.

She’s a singer with a hit song or two. This won’t impact me. But I was wrong. As time continued, I started to find it frustrating. I was just a kid trying to live my life and now is sharing a name with a big singer.

Additionally, I just moved back to Ohio with my dad, so as the new kid at school with the name Taylor Swift. To top it off, I had ad Justin Bieber haircut, eyed glasses, and I was on the debate team. It was not a fun time. He contemplated going by TJ in abbreviation of his first middle name. But this Taylor Swift eventually realized I was given this name for a reason, and I’m gonna grow and become whom I meant to become with it.

Now, what’s weird is Joe Coy made a joke about Taylor J. Swift’s I don’t know why he did this. It’s so random that Joe Coy would make fun of some dude in Ohio. And it’s a little bit mean. Let’s listen, big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL.

On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Some of you are laughing right now, and some of you wanna throw pies in my direction. It’s fun. Come on, it’s a fun joke, Taylor J. Swift says.

When I do interviews with the press, I asked them to please quote me as Taylor J. Swift, so no one confuses me with the pop singer. Don’t worry about it. We can tell the difference that way. No one wonders why Taylor Swift is speaking on congressional modernization and oversight.

I also include the JA on my business cards or when applying to jobs to avoid confusion. Again here at Starbucks, we didn’t think Taylor Swift was applying to be a barista jay. For example, this past weekend, I booked a reservation for two under the name Taylor Swift. I could tel a. Hosts seemed a bit disappointed when I showed up like normal.

They joked about how it was in the real tailor Swift. So I just laughed and said, I hear it all the time, but I just shake it off. Taylor J. Swift is actually funnier than Jim gaffickan hawking bourbon. We don’t do that here at Father Time.
