Caloroga Shark Media. I mentioned yesterday I’m trying to get into a celebrity beef with Taylor Swift, Pat McAfee or Kat Williams, or perhaps all three. I just asked the chat cheetpt to write a joke about all three of them. It’s pretty good, and Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. The joke, Taylor Swift, Pat McAfee, and Kat Williams walk into a bar.

Taylor says she’ll sink for their drinks. Bad offers to commentate the performance, and Kat says he’ll add some punchlines. The bartender looks at them and says that’s nice, But who’s paying the tab? And Taylor says, don’t worry. We’ll just shake it off.

You can icce me all you want, Taylor, just make sure you get the podcast name right. Some good jokes from Late Nights the topic former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial. The judge had initially denied Trump’s request to speak during the closing arguments. Stephen Colbert said, but as twenty seven women can tell you, Trump doesn’t take no for an answer. Ouch.

Another one from Fallon, Yeah, the judge let Trump speak on the condition that he sticked to the law in facts, two things that people on trial for fraud are famously great at. The LA Times caught up with Joe Koy. They found him in his office in the Studio City, and they mentioned that his space has a top of the line recording studio and mini stage set with his logo on it. It’s a space designed to help JOKOI prep his material as well as develop new comics. He hopes to make it a space where you can give back to the community.

Joekoi said, I want people that are coming up struggling right now to be able to go to a venue that’s sick. I used to do coffee houses, and I just remember how I would ate going there because it’s like trying to tell the punchline and this mother effort is grinding coffee grounds during my punchline or washing dishes. I don’t know, what are you gonna do. You’re gonna go to Joekoy’s office and work out material. Don’t you need an audience?

I don’t know. I’m not a comedian. Joe Koy was talking about the Golden Globes and said we were still riding it up until they said, we’re live absolute cold reads. Never got a chance to work out anything. And this is not an excuse.

I’m just trying to paint the picture because I don’t think people understand in any situation, how is that geared towards winning. If you were to write that situation down on a piece of paper and go, do you want to do this? I guarantee everyone would be like no. I’m happy I did because I accept that challenge. I’ll host the Golden Globes.

I won’t even prep I’ll just show up and read the cue cards and you guys can make fun of me. Let me know, call me. The La Times asked Joe Cooy what grade would you give your performance? Joe said, I think I did well given the circumstances. I don’t want to give myself a rating because that’s subjective.

You can give me whatever rating you want. I’m going to give myself an A plus. I thought you just said you don’t want to give yourself a rating. I’m going to give myself an A plus, just based on the courage to do it. Courage is a little strong there, my friend.

I’m going to hit it over the head a million times. Whoever you could think in your head that could have done it. I’m telling you right now, they said no, and I didn’t. I looked at it in a different light. The history of the show’s eighty one years.

That’s eighty one hosts, and some repeated I’m the first Asian to ever solo host. It’s twenty twenty four. I’m the first out of eighty one years. Sandra Oh was the first co host, but I was the first solo host. Imagine if someone said yes before me, would still be at the eighty second Golden Globes.

I still no Asian as a solo host. So if I didn’t say yes, there still would have never been. La Times said there was a sense that you threw the writers under the bus. Joe said, I love my writers. I love all three of them, and I shouted them out and I told them there was a moment right there where I’m just grasping I love them and I can’t stop talking about them.

In every interview. They busted their behinds. Man, there’s a lot of greats that make rookie moves. That was a rookie move. Those writers are dope, and that was not my intention at all.

They were amazing they had my back and I need to make sure I fix that, and I will. I always will. It’s so crazy because the day before we’re all sitting right here is the first time we all met in person. Wait, the first time he met the writers was the day before. Nah, one time.

That’s all we had. It was the most insane thing, and all we did was just sit and go over it. And you know, there’s suggestions. I went up on my stage here at my office and just verbally ran through it. But it was running through our group.

Of course we’re gonna laugh at it. Yeah, that’s what I was saying before, about you’re gonna go to Joe Coy’s office and work out your material. How’s that gonna work? It’s honest feedback for us. But I didn’t get to run it on stage anywhere I your office play might be flowed, Joe Cooy, listen to yourself.

I didn’t get anywhere where I could just sneak these things in. That’s what it’s all about. It’s working things out. So given the circumstances, that’s what I had to go through, and that’s fine. Next question, during your monologue, what was the joke you thought would land and it didn’t.

Joe Coy said, I didn’t understand the Taylor Swift tiff, mind you, that one was just getting rewritten fifty million times. Never ran through it all the way till we had to walk out. It’s just weird. Where do you place it? And we kept hairing it and cutting it down.

But the whole intention of that joke was to make fun of the NFL. It’s like, the cool thing about the Golden Globes is we don’t need to do cutaways for ratings. Actually, if you had cut away to the football games, I was watching the football game that night, that might have helped. What hurts the most is me just supporting Tailor. I support her, I love her work.

I got nieces that I bought tickets for. There’s no ill intent in that joke. The joke’s about the NFL and how they keep using cutaways to her. I agree with Jokoy there. You’ve heard me talk about that all week, and it’s an obvious reason why I’m not saying anything that no one’s saying.

And it’s obvious what the joke was. It’s about the NFL. It’s like, out of everything that’s happened, this is the one you choose to go after. I didn’t understand why, because it was fun. When I walked out, Robert Danier was dying and I’m looking at him.

His wife was smacking’s back and smiling and laughing, and he was laughing. And when I did the whole thing about him being eighty, he loved it, and that was fun. I was like, this guy’s so much fun.

And then I did the Taylor Swift joke, and I’m like, what just happened?

Yes, That’s why I titled an episode earlier this week something along the lines of did Taylor Swift just murder Joe Koy’s career? Joe Coy continued, then, just the reaction of the Barbie choke, the things that are being said, It’s like, man, I don’t understand who I am as a person. You know what I mean, because if you’ve ever seen me, you’ll see just how much I praise and shine light on women, from my ex wife to my mom. That is true for every interview I’ve ever seen with the guy. My whole goal is to try and change that type of narrative, just to that look of being part of a divorce family.

I’m telling a joke what happened to society when we can’t even joke with each other anymore? I bought that movie. I supported the movie. Yes, that’s the story that the doll needed. And I’m glad because now there’s people that look like my mom that can support that.

Boy. He sounds damaged. Some other comedians were discussing Joe Coy. Laurie Kilmartin tweeted, this is a terrible job. This audience sucks.

They’re famous, nervous, and humorless. In ten days is generally not enough time to write about five hundred jokes, which is how many you need to find fifteen suitable jokes. Comedian Eliza Skinner told The Rap she’s right, if not lowballing it a little. It’s a wildly specific crowd, huge celebrities that are braced to be roasted on camera. You could see it on their faces.

They’re like, oh what now as soon as they’re on camera. Comedian Lee Cohen went on TikTok and did her version of what the monologue would have been. According to Lee Cohen, she would have went with Taylor Swift is here tonight, which means the property value this building just increased by ten trillion. Dollars. I think we all need to leave within the next five minutes or will legally be declared squatters.

All right, I took up the challenge and had the chat chept write a joke, and I think this one’s pretty good for the Pro Bowl. I heard the NFL is considering implementing a Taylor Swift Challenge, where teams compete to see who can get the most camera time from Taylor during a game. I also like this one. We were gonna invite Tom Brady the Golden Globes just to mess with Taylor, and then I asked it to go a little snirkier. This is probably too mean for the room, but not bad.

I heard track us Kelsey isn’t tuning into the Golden Globes. He’s afraid to see if Taylor Swift would finally win an award for Best Breakup Song inspired by an NFL player, Kevin Hart commented on the awards. He spoke to Sky News He’s not doing it. Told you about this yesterday, but he spoke a little more and said, whatever little hope you had, I want to destroy it right now. Those gigs aren’t good gigs for comics.

It’s no shots of the oscars, no shots of the globes or anything else. Those just aren’t comedy friendly environments anymore. I think they got it right one year where it was just like a bunch of personalities acting as the host. And that’s a nice thing. It’s a collaborative thing, different people getting to be responsible for aque, Act two, Act three.

But you know, the days of it being a room for comic, those days are done. Shout out to those who have cracked the code and done it right early on. You know, the Chris Rocks of the world, the Billy Crystal’s of the world, the girls we’ve had like Tina Fey, Amy Polar, Ricky Travas. I didn’t misread that. The girls we’ve had like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ricky Terva’s okay.

There’s a lot of people that understand that if you’re not an industry comic, meaning a comic that has the relationships of all and these rooms are very cold, so me doing it is of course, I had an advantage because I know the room and for me, I’m familiar with so many, But for others it’s not the same. It’s not the gig it was of old it’s too much pressure on the idea of a comic and what jokes and not jokes? So it’s tough. Collider reviewed Lift. That’s Kevin’s new Netflix movie.

I was planning on watching it on Friday night. Their headline’s pretty harsh. Hey, Kevin Hart’s pretty funny, right, wouldn’t it be great if we made a movie where he wasn’t ouch? They wrote. Kevin Hart is funny.

Even if you don’t particularly like him, you have to admit that, at the very least, he is sharp comedic timing, which is of course essential for anyone telling jokes. So why would the new Netflix action comedy movie Lift make him the only serious character and delegate the comic relief role that everyone but him. On the off chance that this was a great or at least unexpected idea, it would need a tremendous amount of work to make sense. This is far from the case here who I watched Pete Davidson special at least about ten minutes of it. It’s not good.

That’s my review. It’s not good. That’s all you need to know. As I watched it, I it sounds to me like somebody added some laughter. I programs comedy radio at Serious XM and had the radio on twelve hours a day, five days a week for a decade.

And I know what the rhythms of a comedy crowd sounded like, and this just sounded like the audience was laughing a heck of a lot. Pete.

Also, it’s in black and white.

Why Happy Days turns fifty on Monday, And there’s something called the Catchy Comedy Network, and they wanted your attention when it worked on me. They’re featuring eighty six back to back episodes. Their marathon starts at eleven am today and continues until six am on Monday. Then you can watch Happy Days every day at two thirty Eastern on whatever catchy comedy network is. Lavernon Shirley airs at two o’clock, so it’s a nice little hour of retro TV there.

Aprigancy’s in Cincinnati tonight. City Beat asked Nate’s what kind of stuff he grew up on with comedy whyse and Nate said, yeah, Saturday Night Live was big, especially in my high school years with Adam Sandler, David Spade and Chris Forourley and then Will Ferrell. So yes, and I’ll definitely stand Up, Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Sinbad, the ones that were clean I could listen to. I wasn’t able to watch Eddie Murphy special, so I just end up watching the clean things. Would do some Bob Newhart, Andy Griffith, a lot of stuff like that.

They were curious did he have any mentors coming up and stand up, and Nate said, there’s been many. Jimmy Fallons saw me at a comedy club in New York, and so our relationship kind of began there and it’s continued for ten years now with going on a show. I talked to Seinfeld now too, so it’s nice to get to talk to some of those guys that has done this stuff before me and just learn just to hear some stories and learn from it. Nate, do you have any interest in becoming an actor? Nate said, I’d like to.

Trying to figure out a few things now and kind of seeing where it goes. This tour has been a very big tour, so it’s just finding time to be able to do something like that. I definitely do. I definitely want to create some stuff outside of just pure straight stand up. They’ll do stand up forever.

Being able to create this stuff. We’ll kind of live on. That’s the plan. I’d like to try and shoot some stuff in Nashville so I could be home and Nashville’s exploding. They asked if he has any news he wants to drop, and Nate said, yeah, I’m doing Forrest Gump too.

That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, you can go to buy me a coffee. Dot com slash daily company news. I’m going to take your money and now I’m gonna drive right past the donuts chain. They be getting my order wrong.

I’m going to the smoothie Place, still looking for a clever name for the smoothie place, and I’m going to get a peanut butter. What is it? I don’t know what they called it, but it’s peanut butter and chocolate in the end, delicious. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media another busy one. I am Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Just before is about to record the People’s Choice Awards put out their nominees. I’ll get to that towards the end of the first half. Here.

Bill Burr announced the annual Patrise O’Neill Benefit Concert. It’s the eleventh annual a night of stand up comedy to honor the memory of Patrise O’Neil. This year’s performers Bill Burr, Michael Jay, Tim Dillon, Who’s Great, Marcelo Hernandez, Bonnie McFarland, Sean Patton, Robert Powell, the Third, Cipha Sounds, and Rich v Oz. They’re really going out of their way to let you know. The event will be a phone free experience.

Use of cell phone, smart watches, smart accessories, cameras or recording devices will not be permitted inside the theater. The website says, on November twenty ninth, twenty eleven, one of the greatest stand up comics of all time passed away. If you never saw him live, the genius of Patrise O’Neil is not something that can be described. He was beyond a comics comic and this next sentence makes me laugh. They write, for anyone who ever met him, I’ll raise my hand, saw him perform, or was on the receiving end of his signature trash talking, I’ll raise my hand.

We’re simply past him on the street. It was an experience you would never forget. I agree, as I’ve said on the podcast before, I like his comedy. I did not enjoy the time I spent with the man. He just would never turn it off.

He could walk in and be hello, and he would come right at you. It was like, dude, I’m just trying to work. Kevin Hart’s got a new film out today on Netflix. It is called Lift. The stories centers on the realistically named Cyrus Whittaker played by Kevin Hurt.

Cyrus Whittaker is the leader of an international heightst team who gets enlisted to steal five hundred million dollars in gold from a mid air passenger plane before the fortune ends up in the wrong hands. That sounds like fun. That could be a good thing, right, Kevin Hart told Entertainment tonight. For this movie, it’s a stunt filled role, and he thinks he was in the best shape of his life. I was probably at four percent body fat through the course of this movie.

I wonder if he texted that to Harry Ford. It’s like, yo, hair, I’m at four percent body fat. And you know Harrison Ford’s on that group chat I told you about yesterday with Tom Cruise and the Rock. Yeah, they’re all looking at this, and Kevin probably texted them said I was probably at four percent for fat, body fat. Come on, Kevin, I’m not buying that story at all, the body fat.

Sure you were in shape the group text, No way. The director is the same person who did The Fates of the Furious. So that’s fast eight. That’s the one where the Rock drarex a submarine that makes me less hopeful. Plus, Netflix is not known for their quality.

Quantity, yes, quality, not so sure when it comes to the movies. We’ll see Kevin Hart watch it. What else you do? And that’s football this weekend though, all right, And in a surprise appearance, the fourteenth Annual Governor’s Awards whipped out John Mulaney. No one seemed to know this was coming, and suddenly John Mulaney was hosting this thing.

All the various entertainment websites gave mullany good reviews and said maybe it was an audition for hosting the Oscars. You might want to ask Joe Coy if that’s a good idea. There’s a clip. It’s a little long and a little slow, little longer than usually do with the clips. But I think if you just hear John checking and jiving, I think it backs up how tough these rooms are.

Just like I said with Joe Koy, the material John’s doing here is better than what he’s getting back. Let’s listen, ladies and gentlemen, find your tables. We have to be out of here by ten pm. There is a corporate event for some personal injury attorneys coming in. They will be using the same decorations.

Please find your seats, everybody, Let’s all sit down. If you don’t sit down, I’m gonna bring Terrence Howard up here and he’ll explain his new geometry and it’s not fun. Everyone sit down. Let’s do this. Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

It is an honor and a favor to be here. This is a strategic obligation. It is a pleasure to stand here on this temporary stage. For those of you that don’t recognize me from the Tuesday night AA meeting in the Palisades. Name is John Mulaney.

If you don’t know, thank you. That’s very nice. If you don’t know who I am, that’s totally fine. I’m like Lewis Farakahn. I mean a lot to a very small group of people.

You know, It’s such an honor for me to be hosting this. Growing up as a boy, I would always watch the non televised Governor’s Awards, even though they only started fourteen years ago. My family we’d gather in front of the turned off TV. It was the only time I ever saw my dad smile, and I think, someday that’s gonna be me. John’s here has grown out a little bit, little longer.

He looks pretty good. Kelly Carlin has reacted to the George Corlin AI. The media is just running with AI. George Corlin release a special A couple of things. Let’s not just accept that AI George Carlan is a thing that puts out specials.

Also, let’s not use the word special for everything, including a thing that is a computer generator voice speaking, which I meant to bring this up yesterday. The computer generated voices are really good. I have my own voice trained on this podcast, and occasionally if I misspeak, like let’s say, instead of I don’t know, Kevin Hart, I said Billy Hart. I have a program where I can open up a text document and replace where it says Billy Hart and type in Kevin Hart and it’ll generate in more or less my voice Kevin Hart. I use it probably three four times a week on a word here and there, and you probably don’t notice.

The more words I use it for, it starts to fall apart, and my voice will get flatter as it goes along. But for one word, two words, it’s pretty good. And that’s the consumer version. So I can only imagine what the pros have Isaigress. Kelly Carlin posted on Twitter because we’re calling it Twitter, elon, do whatever you want Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, she tweeted, because that’s what we do on Twitter.

My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. These AI generated products or clever attempts to trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again, Let’s let the artist work speak for itself. That we can’t let what has fallen into it. Stay there.

Here’s an idea. How about we give some actual, living human comedians to listen to. But if you want to listen to the genuine George Carlin, he has fourteen specials that you can find anywhere. She followed that up on Thursday with another tweet, again, thank you all, except for the few who want to tell me that I’m a greedy b word, for your understanding and support with this AIBS. I need to regulate my nervous system a bit after all of this, so I’ll be back tomorrow to say hi and get back to posting other stuff.

Kelly’s a really solid individual. She’s not doing a money grab here. I’ve spent a lot of time with her. She just wants to keep George’s legacy out there and if you dive in the feed. Oh, sometime in the summer of twenty twenty two, I did a lengthy interview with Kelly if you want to check that out.

Joe Coy is still making news and I’m starting hashtag. Johnny Mac was right Joy behar joining team. Johnny Mac Joy said when Joe Coy made a joke about Taylor Swift, that was a mistake. Because no one laughed and Taylor took a sip I noticed in the moment, which indicated she was not happy with that.

Meanwhile, she needs think it over it.

Also, it’s like, come on, it’s just a joke about how many times we see you on award shows. That’s not what the joke was about. The joke was about how many times we see her in football games. It wasn’t that funny. But you need to play along with the comedian.

Joey Beyhoer feels only a select few or capable of handling award show. She says, Ricky Gervais is the only one. Maybe Steve Martin could do it because he’s part of the community. But if you’re going to have a stand up comedian, they have to be outside the big people, the adults. We have to be the ones who will take no prisoners and say what everyone else is thinking.

They don’t care if you don’t laugh. Ricky Gervais does not give a flying you know what if they don’t laugh and they don’t approve. At one point, I think even blamed his writer, as Johnny Carson never did that when his joke’s bombed. He never said thanks writers. He’s a full responsibility when they got a laugh, and he took it when they bombed, I’ll chime in.

Johnny was also good at getting a laugh at bombing. He would just mug for the camera. He was great at that, all right. The People’s Choice Awards the nominees for the Comedy Act And I’m wondering did the People’s Choice Awards put any effort into this at all or did they just look at who was nominated for a Grammy. The nominees for the Comedy Act People’s Choice Awards are John Mulaney, Baby Jay, Amy Schumer, Emergency Contact, Marlon Wayne’s God Loves Me?

Is this list sound familiar? Wanda Sykes, I’m an Entertainer, Trevor Noah, Off the Record, Kevin Hart, Reality Check, Chris Rock, Selective Outrage, Sarah Silverman’s Someone You Love Real quick. I pulled up the Grammy nominations. It is Rock, Silverman, Trevor, Wanda Chappelle. Of course the answer should be Gary Goleman.

But out of this crew, well, it’s civilians who are gonna vote. They’re gonna pick Chris Rock. There’s a category called the Host of the Year. It’s Gordon Ramsey Jimmy Fallon, but not for the Tonight Show. It’s for That’s My Jam, Nick Cannon, Steve Harvey, for Celebrity Family Feud and Terry Crews.

There’s also the Nighttime Talk Show of the Year. The nominees are Heart to Heart. Is that a nighttime talk show? It’s not. It’s a show on Peacock.

But that’s not a late night talk show. That’s something else. But whatever, Jimmy Kimmelive, John Oliver Seth Daily Show, that’d be weird, right, it doesn’t have it a host Stephen Colbert Fallon and watch what happens with Andy Cohen. It’s the civilians who are voting. They’re gonna pick Candy Cohen.

Aaron Rodgers. You may recall you some thoughts about Jimmy Kimmel. Well, he will not be returning to the Pat McAfee show for the remainder of the NFL season. And I’m reading this quote from Pat, Pat, did you throw Aaron Rodgers under the bus? I’ll get into a fight with I’m taking on the Swifties, Pat McAfee and Kevin Hart.

I’ll take you all on at once. And Kat Williams. Kat Williams you’re not funny. I’ll take on all four of them at once. I want some downloads.

Pat McAfee said, I’m pumped. Actually, Kat Williams is hilarious. I just want to get into a celebrity beef. Take some shots at me. Cat, you’re pretty funny.

Pat McAfee said, I’m pumped that he Aaron Rodgers is no longer to be every single Wednesday of my life. There’s gonna be a lot of people that are happy with that, myself included, to be honest, the way it ended, it got real loud. I’m happy that he’s not gonna be in my mentions go going forward, which is great news. I’m not sure Pat understands how much attention he got on the way up from having Aaron Rodgers on his show. Am I defending Aaron’s comments about Jimmy Kimmel?

No, but I think Pat was pretty quick to throw somebody who helped him out a lot under the bus. There we’ll see fake Johnny Mac here with an update. Aaron wound up on Pat’s show on Thursday, after all, so who knows? Now? Back to real Johnny Mac.

Gail King asked Charles Barkley about rogers Gate, Charles said, I would have punched him in the face. That’s not funny. Johnny Mac and Daily Company News. We do not advocate violence. I think when you’re in the limelight, people get to say things about you that goes with the territory.

But when you start comparing people saying you’re hanging out with, you know the kind of stuff. Aaron suggested, that’s dangerous.

Moving on, Kelsey Grammer wants Shelley Long to return as Diane on the Fraser…

You know that is not the worst idea I’ve ever heard. The worst idea I’ve ever heard is an Adam Saylor movie with an alien in it. But this is not that, Kelsey said. The ket to Frasier for me was that he loved her with his whole heart. He loved with all his being, and that actually defined who he is.

He’s been that way ever since. He just goes in wholeheartedly with everything, and that’s what makes him funny. Shelley made two appearances on the original Fraser as part of Dream Sequences, and an appearance in The Flesh in a season three episode of the show where Diane comes back. You know what put her on the show. Let those two get back together.

Why not. That’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the show, go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. But I got a new thing for you. Two things, donut Shane.

They’ve been screwing up the orders left and right. I’m getting a little frustrated. Plus I’m on a kick. Can you even hear this? Smoothies?

I don’t like to give out free plugs. What can I refer to these guys as it’s a smoothie chain that I gotta come up with a bit for this anyway, the smoothie place, No, not the big one. This is a different one and they sell wraps. Hit me up in the Facebook group. Let me know what I should call this one, but I’d have to tell you what it is.

I’ll post a picture of me with it and then you comment on that. Okay, so you go buy me a coffee dot com slash daily Company News and I’ll take your money. I’ll buy one of these anyway. See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I am Johnnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Much quieter than yesterday. Yesterday, guys, there was like five days worth the news and it had to be all crammed into one episode. Could you’ve spread it out a little bit?

Kevin Hart is making the rounds. He’s got this Netflix movie coming out tomorrow. This is a good job of feeding the media because you know they’re going to write about this. He said that he’s on a secret group chat with the likes of Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, Harrison Ford, Jet Lee, Jackie Chan all the biggest guys. I was with the all the Biggest guys till we got to Jet Lee, Jackie chand But anyway, Hart says, it’s real secret chat.

I shouldn’t be talking to you about this chat. I could get in a lot of trouble from the other action guys, other action guys, the Rock, Tom Cruise. Kevin Hart, Yeah, no, Kevin Hart said, when you’re an action guy, you know, like Daween Johnson and Tom Cruise, you have to have action stories. So our chat is all about ping ponging action stories and just making sure that everyone’s in sync. You know that’s what it’s about.

Yeah, this is a real thing. It’s like the rock is home and he gets a text boop, oh it says Kevin Hart. Hey, what do you guys think about a motorcycle chase through downtown Paris? Like what are these guys talking about? And Tom Cruise is like, oh, I better answer this.

I don’t think so. And Jackie Chan is on this for some reason. Do you really think Harrison Ford is participating in this chat? Harrison Ford barely wants to be in the movies that he’s actually in. I call hogwash.

Kevin Hart? Can I start a feud with Kevin Hart? That’d be great? Another Kevin Hart news He hopes that Kat Williams tour with Kevin’s ex wife goes well, ting Hi road there. He also alluded to the fact that a lot of the stuff that Cat Williams is saying is entertainment.

There’s an AI George Carlin. I will play a clip for you. This is by comedy group Dudezy. They begin the AI full George Carland special. I listened to like ninety seconds of it.

I don’t have time for this kind of thing. These special begins in a voice that’s not supposedly George Carlin. Hello, my name is Dooozy. I just want to let you know very clearly that what you’re about to hear is not George Carlin. It’s my impersonation of George Carlin that I developed in the exact same way that a human impressionist would.

I listened to all George Carlin’s material and did my best to imitate his voice, cadence, and attitude, as well as the subject matter I think would have interested him today. So think of it like Andy Kaufman impersonating Elvis, or like Will Ferrell impersonating George W. Bush cracked rights. As for the comedy itself, that jokes are blurred copies by a printer low on tooner, smudged, faded, and best thrown in the trash. I think I own that printer.

The black doesn’t work anymore, no matter how many incartridges I spend sixty dollars on. Anyway, Let’s listen up until the point that AI George Carlin starts using naughty words, thank you, thank you. I like to start off with a heartfelt apology. I’m sorry it took me so long to come out with new material. But I do have a pretty good excuse.

I was dead, so technically it wasn’t my fault. If you want to blame somebody, you’re gonna have to blame God, which we all know is not gonna happen. People are always thanking God for the good stuff in their lives. You meet your soulmate. God brought us together.

Your soulmate dumps you. God is bringing me someone else. That first joke isn’t bad, the one about Carlyn being dead. In fact, the special, if we can call it that, The AI creation is titled George Carlin, I’m glad I’m dead. You may recall Dutcy previously did AI Tom Brady, and then Tom Brady, who’s alive, shut that down in he passed.

George’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, a friend of mine, expressed that she’s not a fan of chat GPT, churning out jokes in the style of her father. Kelly’s quoted as saying, I wish you were here to rip AI a new butthole. My dad chose his word so very carefully to express his innovative and brilliant mind. He dedicated his life to it. Now we have this crap from the Howard.

Reporter Michael Rappaport slams Hollywood not speaking out about October seventh hostages at Golden Globes quotes, not one person said one thing. Rap report said, I’m embarrassed, and not one person said one thing unless I’m mistaken. At the Golden Globes the other night about the one hundred and thirty three hostages that were kidnapped in broad daylight from Israel on October seventh. All that billion dollar Barbie feminism and all these young conscious actors and actresses, there’s the hostages that the exact same age as them, and not one actor, not one director, not one producer, not one comedian. Nobody said anything before the Golden Globes, after the Golden Globes, or during the Golden Globes.

I’m not naming names because nobody said anything. Rapport’s also in the news via Portlandmercury dot com. He’s scheduled to play Helium Comedy Club for five shows January twelfth through the fourteenth. The Portland Mercury says local comedians, business owners and activists put out a call to action, telling comedy fans to demand Helium’s management cancel the shows the reason. Since the October seventh attacks on Israel by Hamas, rap Report has said disturbing things in his videos, supporting and even calling for Israel’s continued violence in Gaza.

Portland Mercury writes before for the October seventh attacks, Michael rapp Report’s videos range from multipart rambling commentary about Taylor Swift’s Daaling life to rants about former President Donald Trump, delivered in a tone very similar to Trump’s own rhetorics. Since October seventh, rapp Reports videos have been almost exclusively about Israel, Hamas and Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Reys Hendrick has a local comedy blog Laughs PDX, and on December twenty eighth, Road given recent commentary for mister rapperport about the ongoing violence in Gaza. We do not support the platform being provided for him. Well, it’s not our place to police the scene or individual clubs.

We find it necessary to voice our stance in solidary with the Palestinian people. Activists within Portland’s comedy community circulated call to action flyers on social media. Rapp Report responded to that, calling it the best live show promotion ever. Did you know the Emmys are on Monday. The Primetime Emmy’s January fifteenth.

Your host this year Anthony Anderson a comedic actor of sorts. I remember first knowing him as a comedian and then he played Antoine Mitchell on the Shield and was scary. He did a great job on that. What a versatile performer. The Hollywood Reporter profiled Anthony Anderson under the headline, I didn’t get this far by playing it safe.

Further reporter, he plans to honor Norman Lear and that that friends and performers from the stage. One of his jokes, does Jason Sedekas need another fing Emmy? As for hosting, I think my team may have given them resounding yes before they even brought the offer to me. The contacted my team like, do you think Anthony would be interested in host? Yes?

Do you guys need to talk to him first? No, he’s interested. He’s gonna do it. We’ll call him later. I think that’s how the conversation went.

Hollyod Porter said, what’s the appeal? Many others have suggested it’s a pretty thankless job. You can ask Joe Coy. Anderson said, well, since I’m oh for eleven in the win loss category, of the Emmy, as I figured, why not host the award that I covered the most, and he’s missing from my shelf. So that’s why.

Hollard reporter asked, as you sit here now, are any targets becoming clear? Anderson said, oh yeah, that’s what being a host of one of these shows is about. Taking jabs at your friends, taking jabs at other actors and television shows. I’ll also be self deprecating. That’s what makes it fun for the people who are sitting at home watching this and we’re thinking the same thing.

So yeah, I’ll poke fund at people that are sitting in the audience, but it’ll be nothing personal Taylor Swift. It’ll be all light humor to keep the show moving along and a smile on everyone’s face, you know, unless you crack a harmless joke and somebody ices you by drinking champagne. Bring it Swiftiest. I want to get into a Twitter war with the Swifties and Kevin Hurt. That’ll get me some downloads.

I could take the heat. Bring it good. Question by the Hollywood Reporter. What’s the worst case scenario for you getting called out for playing it too safe or potentially crossing a line and upsetting people. I’ll throw in there and you know, somebody gets up and slaps you in the face.

Anderson said, I’ve been known to be a habitual line cross or I didn’t get this for in my career and achieve what I’ve achieved by playing it safe. We’re gonna push the envelope and have fun, but we’re gonna do it in a very respectful way. You’ll have to tune in to see. He’s gonna keep the show tight, he says. We’re toying with the fact that we might not have playoff music for the speeches to go too long.

What we will have is my mother. She’ll be the playoff music, and every now and again you may see here peek out from behind the curtain and tap her. Watch like, come on, baby, I gotta be out of here. By eleven, I got a date a the Bengal Hall. Let’s go wrap it up.

I’m reaching out to all my friends who hosted the show. I’ve already spoken to Keenan Thomson and Jimmy Kimmel. They’ve said things like, just be true to myself and be humorous. Make sure that I’m in the writing room, make sure that the writers capture my voice, make sure that I’m available in case there’s something that happens live and in the moment, sounds like it to be a lot of fun. That’s Monday.

I noticed on my phone this morning Jim Brewer is the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. I haven’t listened to it yet. Oh before I forget, I haven’t watched Pete Davidson yet either. I was in TV mode the other night and I forgot it existed. I wound up watching season two of Reacher.

I’m trying to get all my Amazon shows in before they had commercials at the end of the month. I just can’t with the commercials. Man. I think streaming has tricked us because we ust to have DVRs and could skip the commercials, and now on streaming we can’t skip the commercials. We have to give them extra money.

We were long played there for four years, but now I see what they did well played anyway. The Rogan fans didn’t like Jim Brewer’s appearance. According to essentially sports dot Com, some of the comments on social media port Joe imagine looking up to and being influenced by Jim Brewer’s seventh grade class clown level stand up. Another said Brewer was the star of SNL when I was in seventh grade, and he sucked essentially, Sports wrote and I haven’t heard this yet, but said. Some fans were concerned about Jim Brewer, guessing that something was wrong with the actor and comedian.

On the other hand, one fan urged viewers to skip the episode’s featuring guests who they don’t find interesting. One said Brewer literally sounds insane. I feel bad at this point. Another just ignored the bad guests and listen when a good guest is on. Another, this was so bad I had to turn it off.

I’m thinking now, I used to know Jim really well, but I don’t think I’ve spoken to him. It might be ten years now. I left Serious in twenty fourteen, right around now. We might have spoken once after, but I haven’t ran into Jim in a long time. Hope he’s doing well.

Jim co starred in Half Bag with Dave Chappelle, Nice Segue, Johnny Mac Well. Dave Chappelle’s The Dreamer was number two on the English language TV charts from January first to seventh. During that window, it managed ten point two million views. It’s the special second week on the Netflix charts after it jumped to number five with just one day of viewing under its belt. The top spot on the English TV charts went to Fool Me Once, that had eight episodes all dropped at once thirty seven point one million viewers.

Nico Lang in The Daily Beast writes, at the end of The Dreamer, my husband turned to me, exasperated and side, what is he even getting out of this twenty million dollars? I responded, matter of factly, but I knew what he meant. My partner’s concern was not financial gain, but rewards of the spiritual kind. After a string of comedy specialist mocking trans people, Chappelle drank from the well once more and a listless routine star for fresh ideas or even remotely interesting ones. As a man who once represented comedy’s aavant garde, who suggested bold new directions for where the art form could go, my husband was curious to know does Dave Chappelle feel fulfilled by any of this?

Is this how he thought he’d use his enormous potential. One of the most depressing aspects of Chappelle’s recent downward spiral is the sense that he’s capable of more is the Dreamer sits comfortably within the top ten of Netflix’s daily charts. Chappelle was proving once more that there was no real need to be quiet. He’ll continue to benefit from saying his feelings as plainly as he desires, and whatever stage he desires. Greta Gerwig commented on Joe Coy’s Barbie joke.

He may remember that he compared Barbie to Oppenheimer, saying that Oppenheimer is based on a seven hundred and twenty one page Pulitzer Prize winning book about the Manhattan Project, and Barbie is a plastic doll with big boobies. Greta said, well, he’s not wrong. She’s the first doll that was mass produced with breasts, so it was right on because it is about a plastic doll. Barbie buy her very construction, has no character, no story. She’s there to be projected upon.

And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. If you want to support the show, go to buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News.

Throw some money in the tip jar, I’ll take your money. I’ll go to the National Donuts chain. I well use my app. Actually I don’t talk to humans anymore. And I’ll have pre ordered a large iced coffee with caramel and milk, and I will go there and get it and drink it and then tell you about it.

And if you understand value for value and podcasting two point zero, and you know what I’m talking about here, and you want to throw some SATs in my way, use the Fountain app. You’ll find me on there at Johnny Mac. See you tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Buckle up again. Wow, Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. There’s like four things that could be the lead story. Let’s start with Joe Koy again.

Now. Yesterday I took the position that was kind of counter to the narrative, and I said, Joe Coy’s material wasn’t that bad, and maybe Taylor Swift could have laughed a little. That seems to be an opinion gathering some popularity. Megan Kelly to Joe Coy’s defense. Megan and I don’t often agree, but Meghan said, one of the jokes getting a lot of attention is Joe Cooy made a joke about Taylor Swift, which was fine.

I actually thought he was spot on with the commentary. She did not appreciate it. Can’t she just show like she’s a good sport. I think she made the wrong move. Joe Coy’s a little down on himself.

He was on Good Morning America and said the Taylor one was a little flat. It was a weird joke. I guess no, it wasn’t. Joe. Everybody says it every football game.

It was not a bad joke. Stick to your guns. That joke was fine. Taylor could have smiled at it. The Taylor Swift one was a little flat.

It was a weird joke, I guess, but it was more in the NFL. I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the globes didn’t have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn’t come out that way. Yes it did.

It just Taylor iced you. Megan Kelly said, by the way, she’s not in charge with the number of times the NFL chooses to put her on cam. That’s not her fault. It’s annoying and if she were smart, she should laugh like she was in on the joke. I’ve told the audience, I’m still listening to barbistro Izan’s memoir.

It’s a thousand pages and I have a life to live. But one of the things they revisit the book is The Way We Were, which, of course, you know we’ve all seen Robert Redford. I went back and I watched it, and i’d forgotten the scene in the opening part of the movie where she’s like this activist on campus and she’s port of communism, and it makes some crude joke behind her and she gets angry, and later Redford says to her, you should have laughed, and she said it wasn’t funny, and he says that it’s funny is not the only reason to laugh at something. Joe Coy and Good Morning America said I had fun. You know.

It was a moment. I always remember, it’s a tough room as a hard job. I’m not gonna lie. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt poor guy. I hit a moment where I was like, ah, hosting is a tough gig.

Yes, I’m a stand up comic, but that hosting position, it’s a different style. I kind of went in and did the writer’s thing. We had ten days to write. This monologue was a crash course. I feel bad, but I gotta still say I loved what I did.

Kevin Hart, who’s doing ton of press this week because he’s got this thing on Netflix on Friday, Kevin Hart came to the defense of Joe Coy and said, I think Joe Coy is an amazing comedian, always has been. It’s a tough room, and without the knowledge and understanding of how to navigate a room, you can have some moments, some bumps. Joe Coy is a talented, funny, effing guy and forever will be. People want to highlight the world bad, but Joe will be good and always has been. The Daily Mail asked Kevin Hart if he would ever consider hosting a big awards show again.

Rate wasn’t he going to host? Was it the Emmys or whatever? And that didn’t happen because they went back and looked at his material? What was that story? Ah?

Yes, he was going to host the Oscars. From Variety December sixth, twenty eighteen, Just forty eight hours after agreeing to host the Academy Awards, Kevin Hart unceremoniously step down. The turn of events followed outcry over previous anti gay tweets and comments Kevin Hart made during Stand Up for Teens nearly ten years ago. At that time, Kevin posted on Instagram, my team calls me, oh my god, Kevin. Everyone’s upset by tweets he did years ago.

Guys, I’m nearly forty years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past. Do you I’m the wrong guy man here? In twenty twenty four, Kevin tells the Mail, I’m at a point in my career where there’s no value in it for me.

But I do think that it provides an amazing amount of visibility and a platform of exposure. But it’s something that’s not the easiest. Good analysis here, Kevin Hart suggests Joe Coy was an outsider to many of those in the room, saying the success of the host stems from the relationships he has with the A listers in the audience. Kevin says, when you’re in the business and you have relationships with the people in the room, it’s an easier room. I’m not sure Chris Rock would currently agree with that.

Kevin said, when you’re a little culd to the room, maybe a little more difficult and there’s a little more hesitancy to be comfortable from an audience standpoint. Good always been. I love Joe. We can’t wait to see what else Joe does. He’s made it this far.

Michael Jay weighed in on Instagram. Chase said, for one, it’s very difficult to make movie stars laugh They’re way too self conscious to have a good time too. They don’t even want to laugh. They’re too busy thinking about their careers, their speeches, and their cause. They think they want to be made fun of, but they actually don’t.

They actually just want their trophy and a nice photo. Imagine right before Game seven of the NBA Finals, he had to go in the locker room and make Lebron laugh. Woopy Goldberg came to Joe Coy’s defense, saying, if you’ve not been in these rooms before and you’re sort of thrust out there, it’s hit or miss. I love Joe Coy. It makes me just crazy because he’s funny.

I don’t know whether it was the room, but I do know that he’s as good as it gets when it comes to stand up. Steve Martin came to the defense of Joe Cooy on threads Steve Martin, what are we doing? Threads three? Did? I don’t know what we do in threads posted, tweeted, threaded threaded.

I tip my hat to anybody who steps out on stage host a live awards show. It’s a very difficult job, and not for the squeamish. I know because I’m still throwing up for the last time I did it twenty ten. So congratulations to Joe Coy, who took on the toughest gigas sho business hit missed was Light on his Feet and now his twenty minutes of new material for a stand up. More on Joe Koy at the end of the podcast Today, Jimmy Kimmel got into it again with Aaron Rodgers on Kimmel’s show on Monday Night.

He referred to the quarterback as Karen Rodgers. I kind of like that. That’s fun. You may recall. On January tewod on the Paton McAfee show, Aaron Rodgers said, there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, were really hoping that doesn’t come out meeting the Epstein list.

Kimmel said, either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that. He just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lives about being vaccinated. He’s particularly upset, I think because I made fun of the fact that he floated this wacko idea that the UFO sidings that were in the news in February were being reported to distract us from the Epstein list. Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being.

He generally thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everybody else. The idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him. We learned during COVID. Somehow he knows more about science than scientists. A guy who went to community college that got in a cal on a football scholarship and didn’t graduate, someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology.

He put on a magic helmet and the g made him a genius. Aaron got two a’s on his report card. They were both in the word Aaron. Okay, can you imagine this hamster brain man thinking he knows what the government is up to because he’s a quarterback, doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts. Kim Will thinks Rogers is too arrogant to know how arrogant he is, but he would accept an apology, but I bet he won’t.

If he does, you know what I’ll do. I’ll accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that. Kim will Will ended his monologue by showing a picture that involved former President Trump and said, by the way, if you’re looking for someone who actually was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein who called him a terrific guy and bragged about his affinity for younger women, I have very good news for you. Epstein hunters more from Kimmel.

We say a lot of things in the show. We don’t make up lies. In fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to sift through the facts and reputable sources before I make a joke. And that’s an important distinction, a joke about someone, even when that’s someone is Donald Trump, even a person who lies from the minit he wakes up until the minite smearing orange makeup on his MyPillow at night, even he deserves that consideration, and we give it to him because the truth still matters. When I do get something wrong, which happens on rare ocasions, you know what I do.

I apologize for it, which is what Aaron Rodgers should do, which is what a decent person would do. But I bet he won’t. One more joke from Kim. Well, they let him host Jeopardy for two weeks, now he knows everything. Well, it was Tuesday, so Aaron Rodgers went back on the Pat McAfee show.

Rogers started off by reminding of the listeners viewers that their little beef goes back to COVID times when Jimmy Kimmel and made jokes about my immunization. Aaron said he didn’t like Oh Kim Will mentioned unvaccinated people don’t deserve treatment, or that if they’re at a hospital, they shouldn’t get a hospital bed. Rogers also took a swipe but doctor Faucie, calling him one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation during COVID times. Aaron Rodgers said, in my opinion, Jimmy Kimbill rip me about the VACS, and it turns out to be an l on many occasions because the VACS was not safe and effective like we were told it was in the beginning. There are a lot of injuries that we’ve seen related to the vaccine.

Aaron Rodgers said. Many people interpreted his words as alluding to Kimmel being associated with Epstein, reading the quote here quote A lot of people, and I’m quoting myself, A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping the list doesn’t come out. End quote. Rogers said, I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, which again hasn’t come out yet, this was just a deposition. Aaron continued and said, I totally understand how serious allegations of pedophilia would be, so for him to be upset about that, I get it.

I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot, and he made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of all that with absolutely zero evidence. That’s ridiculous. Rogers accused the media of trying to get him canceled, saying, if you look at all the different people have been censored, especially during COVID, the canceling that went on on the censorship, using the government to try and censor people. If that happened, if doesn’t work, they go to name calling. I still haven’t popped a bottle because there hasn’t been any list that comes up.

I’m glad Jimmy’s not on the list, I really am. I don’t think he’s the P word. I think it’s impressive that a man went to Arizona State and has ten joke writers can read it off the prompter. Geez oh, come on, guys. My education at JUCO and my three semesters at CAL that I’m very proud of has worked out for me, and I’m glad to see it’s worked out for him as well.

I wish I’m the best. I don’t give a hoot what he says about me, as long as he understands what I actually said and that I’m not accusing him of being on a list. I’m all from moving forward. Pat McAfee later brought up that after rogers comments, many people took to social media to call Jimmy Kimmel all sorts of things and Rogers said and that sucks. I condemn that one hundred percent.

That’s ridiculous, Like any type of name calling, I’m not calling them one and neither should use. So it’s not backing me up or making me feel good. If you’re doing that, let me make that crystal clear. I don’t take any effing joy out of anyone doing that, don’t do that in my name, don’t do that at all. Those are serious accusations meant for people who are on that list.

We are long here in the first half, but there’s so much to tell you about. Remember the whole Cat Williams thing. Well, Kat’s going out on tour and guess who’s coming on tour with him. Kevin Hart’s ex wife, Yes, Tory Heart announced she’s going on to with Kat. Tory and Kevin divorced in twenty eleven.

That’s fun. D Ray Davis is calling for a battle of the comedians after cat Gate. He says, comedy’s different because the beefing go to the streets. It ain’t leaking over. I think it’s a light sparing.

I think they should take it to the stage, all of them. I’m willing to participate. I love it. We can all do five minutes back to back, brand new freestyle. We come up with the rules like boxing, no preaching, Let’s go to specifics, let’s go to joke, let’s get to writing.

I love it. Comedy world needed this energy. The world needed to see it’s not just jokes, it’s jokes and smokes. De Ray Davis also weighed in on the allegation that Centric the entertainer stole Kat Williams. Bit Davis said, I saw the premise, but I didn’t see the similarities.

I’m not trying to catch smoke with Cat either. The Man with Nine Lives ed Lover has agreed with Kat Williams claims that Steve Harvey hated on Bernie macbridors death. Ed Lover said, the stuff that Kat Williams said about Steve Harvey calling to try and get Bernie’s role on Ocean’s eleven, that kind of stuff Bernie told me out of his own mouth. I believe Bernie Mack when he said Steve Harvey hated on him. Kat Williams at a key Harvey of watching fellow comedian Mark Curry do his whole Hanging with Mister Cooper sitcom and then stealing everything Mark Curry had.

Kat Williams said, Now Steve got a sitcom where he’s the principal and he’s wearing a suit, and then he gets this high top fade making all black men think he’s got the best lineup in the business, and it’s a man unit.

And then you ask him why you’re not a movie star, and he says I didn’t want t…

There are thirty thousand new scripts in Hollywood every year, and not one of them masks for a country bumpkin black dude that can’t talk good and look like mister potato Head. There ain’t none. You have to have range. Oh, this is so much fun. I didn’t even tell you about Pete Davidson yet, but I need a drink of water.

Hang on. Pete Davidson will star in two new commercials for Tatinos during NFL playoff season. Pete Davidson spoke about Toatino’s and said, I’ve been honing my skills and becoming a grill master, but I’m always a fan of making spaghetti. I know some people don’t like leftovers, what I actually enjoy finishing my leftovers. In his ants for Tatinos, Pete Davison hopes to inspire fans to ditch pizza in favor of pizza rolls.

For the upcoming Super Bowl, Pete says, Oh, invite my friends over watch the game. I’ve been doing that for the past few years. In addition to Tatino’s, which of course he serves, He says he also in addition to the Tatinos serves chips, salsa, and other dips, plus wings and candy. Pete tells people, I’ve always been a huge fan of Tatinos. The bite sized pizza rolls will make the perfect and acts for Game Day, which I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid.

So when the brand approached me about this campaign, I had to say Yes, I get to eat all the Tatino’s pizza rolls my heart desires. While on Settin, who gets to say that Pete’s News Special is out on Netflix. I have not watched it yet. At the time of this recording, Pete Davidson Turbo Fonzarelli spoilers Rolling Stone says it’s far and away his most confident, assured, and hilarious one yett oh, that’s good, following rapid fire jokes about everything from a Make a Wish scenario gone awry and navigating his stalker to a confusing childhood crush on Titanic era Leonardo Dicamprio. Early on in the special, Pete talks about attending Aretha Franklin’s funeral while high on Kennemine.

He jokes if she was there, she’d probably be like, Hey, who are you and what the eff are you’re doing at my funeral? I won’t spoil the punchline there. I’m reading it. It’s pretty good. Pete talks about dating Ariana Grande and says he’d never been prouder than when he thought Bill Clinton was ogling her.

Wow. Dennis Leary is going to co star. No Good Deed, a half hour dark comedy eight episodes, follows three very different families trying to buy the same house. I’ve talked about this in the past. Ray Romano is in this.

Sabby Jacobsen, Poppy Loo. She’s on What Is the Terrible Thing? On Apple TV with Rob mcalaney called the video game one whatever, It’s not good that one. Tina Fey is going to start a series on Netflix. This an adaptation of the nineteen eighty one movie The Four Seasons.

The original followed three couples. You take vacations together each season, and the changes in the group dynamic when one of the couple splits up and the man brings a much younger woman on subsequent trips. Are you a fan of our flag? Means death? When you’re not gonna like this, It’s over after two seasons, canceled by Max HBO Max HBO Max Max Max.

That was the pirate show rees starby started and it was okay, And back to Joe Coy. Good analysis by Viv Grosskopp in The Guardian. Viv writes after the event, it’s pointless trying to content that the material was actually not that bad, which it wasn’t. I agree where the Coy’s delivery had its moments of charm and professionalism, which it did. I agree, because comedy elludes analysis, justification or explanation.

It’s either funny in the moment or it’s not. There’s no arguing with Tumbleweed, or it’s deadly. Celebrity equivalent Taylor Swift on camera taking the tiniest of dainty SIPs of her drink. A lot of comedies about contexts and establishing who you are in relation to the audience. So in some ways Joe Coy’s stint is more impressive than recent Golden Globes bookings because his work would not have been especially familiar to a lot of the audience in the room or at home.

Yes, I saw a lot of people saying they had never heard of him before. That’s why high status performers like Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Kimbler, Chris Rock have a natural buy in. When they walk on stage. There’s a ready made expectation of where they will take things. That’s really good analysis, viv.

So you can work with that and you can subvert it. Gervaise has often played these hosting gigs almost with the express intention of explicitly eliciting gasp of horror or intakes of breath rather than cozy laughs. And it works because you know he intended it, and that is your comedy needs for today. My voice is shod. That was a lot.

If you enjoy the show, tell a friend about it. I’m gonna go have some water or a coffee or something. See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. I kind of feel bad for Joe Coy. Hi, I’m Johnny Meg with your Daily Comedy News. Joe Coy’s performance at the Golden Globes is just getting destroyed, and I’m wondering, did Taylor Swift murder Joe Coy’s career? Listen to this joke.

I don’t think this joke is that bad. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear it was just where to go to.

Taylor stared him down and drank champagne. That became an internet meme and I’m wondering if Taylor smiles at that joke or even laughs, then the room probably smiles and laughs and we’re fine. I think Joe’s material wasn’t that bad, and I think the room was brutal, and I’ll share some evidence of that as we go. The media coverage not kind. Rolling Stones headline Golden Globe’s host Joe Cooy booed during monologue, blames his writers.

They remind us that some of the people who turned down the gig, Chris Rock, Ally Wong and Will Arnette, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes as a trio. The joke that got some booze was, and I’m sure JOKOI told it better than I will, But the joke Oppenheimer and Barbie you’re competing for a cinematic box office achievement. Oppenheimer’s based on a seven hundred and twenty four page Pulitzer Prize winning book about the Manhattan Project, and Barbie’s based on a plastic doll with big boobies. He followed up with this one that just did not go over well at all. The key moment in Barbie is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breast cell you light and flat feet ah or what casting directors call character actor.

Some I wrote, some other people wrote Robert de Niro’s here, Yo, I got the gig ten days ago. You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up? You got You’re kidding me right slow down. I wrote somebodys, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.

Look. Slate went with the headline the Golden Globes were a mess and not in the fun tipsy way. Joke after joke fell flatten so many that Joe Coy was forced acknowledge that he was bombing in the middle of his opening monologue. Reporter Nicole Spurling said she’d never seen an audience rebel against an EMC so quickly. Joe Coy said.

The lesson he took away from Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon was that white people stole everything, not like ninety seven percent. You guys stole one hundred percent of everything. You took the land, you took the oil, and took the premise of the movie. That got a mixed response from the crowd. Joe said, what that was your premise?

That’s hilarious. I don’t care. It’s just the room is really white. Joe didn’t get one laugh, and it was at the expense of Harry and Megan. It turns out Harry and Megan Markle were still getting paid millions of dollars for doing absolutely nothing.

And that’s just by Netflix. Same topic, different joke. How great was it Melda Staunton in the crowd? Wasn’t she amazing? Her portrayal the Queen was so good that Prince Harry called her and asked her for money.

That’s a solid joke. By the way, you can follow all about the royal family and if you like making fun of Harry and Megan, Allis Intrigue is the podcast for you where if you get your shows. I’ll circle back to the Golden Globes real quick. But Glenn Howardton, he plays Dennis on It’s Always Sonny. He says Prince Harry is cool and very down to earth.

They apparently hung out at a soccer game and Glenn tells people he’s cool man, a very nice, very down to earth, normal dude in a lot of ways. I mean he’s not a normal dude, but he presents as a normal dude. Okay, back to the Golden Globes. Reactions on social media brutal. Somebody tweeted as a filipido American, this Jokoy monologue is like watching a car crash.

He looks like he’s about to have an aneurysm. Some of the other jokes that didn’t fly Again, Joe Koy probably told him better than I did. But a quartering to the reviews, maybe not. I loved Oppenheimer, just needed another hour. My New Year’s resolution in twenty twenty four is to finish Oppenheimer by twenty twenty five.

I love Oppenheimer, especially the first season. Robert de Niro, your last performance is your greatest performance. How’d you get her pregnant at eighty? I’m not sure about this one. Kevin Costner’s here, He’s never here.

He’s on a mountain with a cow. This next one’s pretty bad. The color purple is what happens to your butt when you take ozipic. So I’m wondering, is Joe Koy now post peak and is he destined to have Russell Peters’s great career? Russell Peters sells out everywhere he plays, and I’m talking basketball arenas.

He’s internationally huge and yet ignored by the mainstream US press. Is that Joe Coy’s destiny? Now he’ll play Filipino American audiences and have quite a nightless life. But this was your shot and it didn’t work. Somebody who had a much better night and is now being talked about on social media.

Anyway, Hey, let this guy host the Golden Globes. Jim Gaffigan. Jim got up and said, this is the first time stand up comedians have been acknowledged at a major award show for eighty years, good looking people through a party, and now you’ve finally decided to invite the talented people. But the joke that got all the attention is this one golden globes. I mean, I I can’t even believe I’m in the entertainment industry.

I can’t, you know, it’s so unlikely. I’m from a small town in Indiana. I’m not a pedophile. George Lopez and gab Iglesias got up, they did whatever this is that. You know, the cereal is not very good, but you can hear how tough the room was.

Or two guys who have been in this industry for a long long time, so we know when someone’s got that special it factor, you know, like us, Yeah, yeah, you know. And we’ve been asked to make sure that all the nominees in this category also have that it factor, starting with Bill Hayter. Yeah he’s got it. Yeah, Jason Siegel, he’s got it. Jason said Deacas they got it.

Yeah, now the Jays got it and got it. Yeah. Jeremy Allen White, Yeah yeah he’s got it. Yeah, he’s definitely got it. He got Steve Martin Martin short, they got it.

Yeah, Pedro Pasqual, Pedro Pascual, Yeah, he got it, he got he got good parking too, got they invented it. So now you know what. Let’s check and see who wins. Some of the winners for Comedy Anyway, Best Television Series Musical or Comedy nominees Abbed Elementary Barry The Bear, Jury Duty Only Murders, Ted Lasso the winner of The Bear, and Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on Television the nominees Ricky Gervais, Trevor Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes. The winner Ricky Gervas for Armageddon.

Ricky tweeted, thank you so much for all your lovely comments and kind words about my Golden Globe win. Best fans in the world. I’m playing at two hundred Seedter tonight in King’s Cross doing new material The Glamour. Have a great day.

In other news, Pete Davidson has a new special ad on Netflix today.

It’s called Turbo Fonzarelli. I’m seeing zero press about this, which is suspicious. Now. Pete had recently canceled a week of shows. I’m guessing he’s been unavailable to do press.

I’ve also been trying to figure out did he actually perform at Foxwood’s the other night, And I haven’t seen that he hasn’t, which makes me think he did. But nobody who attended the show was tweeted about it. There’s nothing about it, so I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I figure it out. Remember Aaron Rodgers shot at Jimmy Kimmel from last week.

Aaron plans to discuss it today on the Paton McAfee’s show. He was asked by reporters if he any regrets, and he said, I’ve got to talk about it on the show. Tune in a comedian that I’ve been digging a lot and playing him on the Weekly Comedy Thing, which is my show I host on the Live one app is Djdammers in the Winnipeg at Free Press spoke to DJ. He’s willing to joke about almost anything, although it took him a while to feel at ease poking fun at his hearing loss. DJ was diagnosed with severe to profound hearing loss at age four.

He said, I didn’t necessarily want to talk about my hearing aids right away and stand up, but I didn’t want it to be a gimmick or a crutch. But then once you feel confident in your ability, as you go all right. I don’t find a way to make this funny. It’s a big part of who I am, so I learned pretty early on. There was a lot of humor in it, and a lot of people would relate to it.

I like to believe I learned to make it relatable for people who don’t even have hearing loss. He’s got a new show out today on the CBC. It’s called One More Time, a half hour comedy. He plays Dja, hard of hearing, manager of a secondhand sporting good store, and like any good sitcom, he works aside a ragtag team of eccentric employees. In the pilot, DJ’s hearing aids malfunction after he loses a dunk tank competition, and he proceeds to give customers bad advice based on his poor lipbreeding skills.

That’s fun. In another episode, he gets jealous of another character for being deafer than him. DJ says, it’s like, oh man, this person’s stealing my deaf thunder. I think we cleverly played with the hearing loss in the show. I think not taking it too seriously is actually what makes it.

I don’t want to say powerful, but palatable, somewhere between powerful and palatable. I’ve never seen somebody with hearing aids in such a prominent role on TV, so I’m hoping that some ten year old kid watching TV sees me with hearing aids and feel some sort of positive way about that. From chort old, Andrew Bird has been named the Comics Comic of twenty twenty three over there in the UK, Andrew Bird a longtime opener for Russell Howard. He won the vote from his peers. Andrew Bird said, I can’t even pretend to act casual about this.

I am so chuffed, thank you for voting for me. Usually i’m worried that the other comedians are slagging me off, so for a good time to say that they think I’m good. That’s going to get me through at least the next six to eight rough gigs. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Kevin Hart fired back at Kat Williams Friday night on NBA Unplugged, Kevin riffed another fun fact about the Knicks. I don’t know if you guys know this, but Kat Williams bought the Knicks, and it’s rumored he took the Knicks back return them without a receipt. He’s the first person ever do that.

He bought them for fifteen days and return them. I’m sure how funny that is, and I’m sure he told it better, but okay. In a nine minute video posted to social media, Ice Cube has responded to Kat Williams. Cat had been talking about a scene in the movie Friday After Next. The scene features Cat’s character Money Mike cornered in a bathroom by Terry Crew’s character.

Cube said, it’s been over twenty years since the movie came out and people have different perspectives. I would never shoot a rape scene in a movie, especially Friday, where you can actually see this happening on camera. That ain’t my style. The plier joke was always in the script. We would never ever show that.

That’s not my style. If you look at any of my movies. So that was never a discusson and ice Cube added there was a discrepancy in how he and Williams remembered how it went down. Quoting ice Cube, at that point in everybody’s career, we’ll listen to a certain extent, but we’re not going to change the movie for it for any actor. You know, we do what we feel, and if it was a rep scene, it would have been in the movie.

There’s no reason not to shoot it. But that’s not my style. Another claim by Kat Williams was that the role of money Mike was written for Cat. Ice Cube said the role was written, but he enhanced it, which is why Kat was so dope. In the movie.

Money Mike had a small role, about as big as the Santa Claus role, but when we started the filming, he was giving such magic that we kept expanding the role and giving him more to do because he was on point. As for compensation, if any actor is mad about what they got paid, then look at what you were doing. Look at where your career was at the time and where it is now. And I believe Friday has something to do with that. I put a lot of people in movies, but they ain’t never put me in a movie.

You can take that for what it’s worth. I gave these guys a lot of opportunities, and I still act, So I’m waiting for a call. I ain’t got a producer write anything. Ice Cube ended the video with saying he has love for all the comedians he has worked with. Tiffany Hattish hit back at Kat Williams.

Cat had told Shannon Sharp they think they can rewrite history. Guy Tory did a beautiful special about the Comedy Store in Fat Tuesday, where he said Steve Harvey and Centric, the entertainer Kevin Hart, and Tiffany hatishall came through there all lies. Tiffany performed live on Thursday until that audience, I’ve been doing so much stuff. I was on That’s So Raven, I was on White people TV shows, Black People TV shows. She then ran off her resume as a comedian and actor.

I’ve been telling jokes since nineteen ninety six. I’m not mad. I just wish you would get his facts right about me. Dang. I guess I’ll send him a reminder text.

But we sure that’s Kat Williams. He looks a lot like Charleston White. Charleston White is a fifty three year old YouTuber and comedian who I was unfamiliar with until five minutes ago. And the joke’s not funny. Lavelle Crawford waged in and said, I think Kat he’s just gonna talk.

He’s one of those cats man. He ain’t afraid of nobody. He says what’s on his mind, and he probably had some confrontations. You got to remember, the more the money go up in your life, the more the spike comes out of other people. And if you all on the same scene.

See the one thing about black entertainers, we think it’s only one bag. We don’t even understand. And that’s all these beefs come up when talked about his experiences, and some of it might be far fetched. It might be that some of it’s comedy. You know, he’s a comedian, you’d be thinking everything he says it’s beef.

And some of the stuff he’s probably got beef with. He knows these people. Median is that he named. When you chime in on stuff just makes it more valid. You know, if it ain’t true, you know, all the money you got and all the blessings you got why you’re going on Instagram saying Oh, that ain’t true, that ain’t true.

You’re making yourself look guilty. TMZ caught my attention with the headline trick Daddy to Kat Williams, mention me come a Ricky Smiley again and facal meat fist. The Miami rap legend hopped on Instagram to defend his friend Ricky Smiley. I watched the video trick Daddy’s in a car. I noticed there’s a beeping sound that I usually associate with someone driving a car without a seatbelt on, but I’m not sure.

I don’t want to share the video as I want everyone to get along, so you can check out trick Daddy’s Instagram. Charles Barkley referenced Kat Williams on Inside the NBA he was getting into it with Shack. They were arguing about the qualities of an NBA championship team. Shack tried to bring Kenny Smith on his side of the debate, and Barkley said, Kenny can agree with you, dumbass. Shaq said, dumbass got four, meaning four NBA championships to Barkley’s nun how many you got?

Barkley shot back riding on Kobe’s and Dwayne Wade’s coattails. Don’t maybe call Kat Williams on your ass?

And then he said, Okay, Kat, go get a fun, fun fun other news.

I will deal with the Golden Globes tomorrow. On Saturday night, Pete Davidson was scheduled to perform at fox Woods. I’m recording this on Sunday, and as I prepped the show, I don’t see any indication that Pete Davidson did not perform at fox Woods. So hopefully everything’s on track with Pete. Let you know a random thought that I keep forgetting to share.

Hey, remember that Kevin Hart Chris Rock special on Netflix that kind of came and went and had no buzz right other than the initial press of the day or two. I don’t think that made any impact at all other than with Kat Williams. Congratulations to Weird Al. Weird the Al Yankovic Story won the award for Outstanding TV Movie at the twenty twenty three Creative Arts Emmys. Weird beat out Fire Island, Prey, Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, and Focus Pocus II.

Weird Al is now halfway to having egot status. That’s an Emmy Grammy. Oscar and Tony al said it only took me forty years, and another forty years I’ll be there. Are you familiar with the film The Day the Clown Cried? Jerry Lewis stars as a clown in a concentration camp performing for children.

It was never released. Well, it may screen in public for the first time. The Day the Clown Cried was shot in nineteen seventy two, never released. I’ve seen clips here and there, and a recreation. It is definitely bizarre.

Several years before Jerry died in twenty seventeen, a copy was given to the Library of Congress in the United States, with an agreement it could not be screened in any capacity until twenty twenty four. The film tells the story of a German circus clown who’s imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp for mocking Adolf Hitler and then is forced to lure children to their deaths as punishment, Starring Jerry Lewis as clown Helmut dork do r K. Lewis showed it to some friends and colleagues in private over the years. Harry Shearer back in nineteen ninety two told Spy magazine that he watched the rough cut and branded it a perfect object. In twenty thirteen, footage of Jerry Lewis showed up on YouTube in which Jerry says it was bad.

It was bad because I lost the magic. No one will ever see it because I’m embarrassed at the poor work and in awkward segues. The Washington Post wrote about TikTok comedians Nimish Patel’s been getting a lot of press lately, and he asked his audience, who’s here because of TikTok and tells The Washington Post, the first thing I noticed was the diversity. It was eye opening thing that this platform for all the evils I’m sure lurk behind the scenes. It’s made comedy a lot more accessible to people who would never go to a comedy show otherwise.

Wendy Curtis owns Comedy Works in Denver and is quoted as saying we absolutely see audiences who haven’t been here before. When a comics agent inquires about booking her club, her staff will first check the comics following on social media as an indicator whether or not they can sell out the club. Curtis like social media clips because anywhere they send or use the clip, there’s my name in the bad that’s my brand and logo. They also talked about Sam Morrell, who try to get people in twenty eighteen to watch his special on Comedy Central. Sam said it was like speaking another language because some people don’t consume entertainment like that.

It wasn’t until Comedy Central posted a clip from a special on Instagram that he gained new followers, so he started doing the same. He posted his third special on YouTube as quote an Active Desperation, and then clips from his club performances on Instagram. Sam says, when you’re building an audience, you have to make it as easy as possible for people to find you. But Warren’s about feeding the algorithm. If you base your comedy around the algorithm, you’re doomed.

You have to do what you think is good for comedy, not think about the sharing. Mark Maren has put his house on sale, you know, the one where he records the podcast. According to b n N Mark’s Highland Park, Spanish bungalows on the market for seven hundred and forty nine thousand dollars. That doesn’t seem like a lot of money. I thought Mark would have a more expensive place.

He’s got a famous apartment. Therapy dot com tells us the comfortable, mid century to core clad stucco home, built in nineteen twenty seven, features a refreshingly normal byelebrity standards, if perfectly appointed nine hundred and thirty two square feet, full of vintage character and sure that listing gave the address which I won’t share, and had a link, but the listing was gone last time I checked. Hm who knows? For once? Let me remember to tell you about the Weekly Comedy Thing.

That’s the show I host on the Live one app. The app is free, The show was free. Let’s say Who’s on today? You can hear stand up comedy from Jim Gaffigan, Joekoy, Chris Rock, Kat Williams, DJ Dimmers, Who’s Fantastic, Pete Davidson, Gary Goleman, w Camal Bell, Dusty Slag, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Leanne Morgan.

The show’s free. The app is free. Check it out.

Also, I want to promote the podcast I do called five Good News Stories.

We’re doing that one Monday Wednesday. And Friday in twenty twenty four, five stories, all them happy stories, smile stories. And on today’s podcast talking about the man who jumped into the quarium at the pro Bash shop in Alabama. Did you see this clip over the weekend? Yeah, a lot of Shrinkett jokes about that, but I won’t make the shrinking jokes on that show.

I keep that with even clear know that I keep this one.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. The Golden Globes are on CBS tonight. Joe Coy’s your host, Talk about Joe in a second. The nominees for Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on Television are Amy Schumer for Emergency Contact, Chris Rock for selective Outrage, Ricky Gervais or mcgeddon, Sarah Silverman, someone you Love, Trevor Noah’s Where was I?

Wanda Sykes. I’m an entertainer. I have no idea who they’ll pick out of that. I think I’d pick Trevor, but I don’t know. They’re all fine.

Well, Amy special is not good. From the Hollywood Reporter, Jimmy Kimmel has five months to prepare for the Oscars. When it came to the Golden Globes this year, Joe Coy had less than two weeks. He said, I haven’t slept and I’ve never watched this many movies and TV shows in my life. Over the holidays, he was busy binging everything from Oppenheimer to Maestro.

Interesting frustration came out here, they write, Joe Coy has been selling out arenas well a stand up comedy, but heead of his twenty twenty two Netflix specially. He told The Hollywood Reporter that the industry been slow to recognized his success, quoting him from twenty twenty two, or what is it that you’re not seeing? These numbers are as clear as day. I’m gonna list that a lot of people aren’t comics who were selling out arenas. It’s like Elton, John Billy Joel, Joe Koy and Coldplay, Like what are you guys seeing?

And it heard? It hurt a lot, and yeah, I was offensive that I still had to convince a lot of people that what I’m saying is relevant and funny. So Coy said he had less than two and a half weeks to prepare because it took a day for the contract to go through, and then the writers those had to come through, so we’re looking at like nine days. This has definitely been a crash course on how to embassy a major event. He’s super excited.

I’ve been smiling year to ears since the day I found out that I got it. It’s surreal and I’m enjoying every single moment. It just means so much, and not only to me. I’ve got a lot of weight in my shoulders that have got to carry. I got my family, I got my culture, I got the Asian community.

I got the halfers out there, the half white, half Asian, half black, half Asian, half Latino, half Asian. There’s a lot of halfers out there that need some representation. And I fill that void. And I know that because when I was a kid, all I did was watch award shows and watch TV, and the one thing you always thought out was to be inspired by somebody who looked like you, or somebody who said something that kind of sounded like you. And I know that’s what this moment is for me.

You know that there’s gonna be a kid going Okay, it’s possible. Cool. He did that, so all right, I can do it too, And to me, that’s everything. That’s all I want. How will he differentiate this award show from you know, other award shows?

Joe Coy said, this is the fun one. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a fan of every single award show. It’s just in our blood. As far as Filipinos are concerned, We’re addicted to award shows.

We’re addicted to talent shows. Growing up, as a kid, would watch award shows, says family would bet on who’s gonna win what category, and out of all the award shows, this is the one that everybody enjoys watching. By the way, I’m a fan of everyone who’s hosted this show. I’d be lying off, I said differently, And in no way am I replacing anybody some of the recent hosts. You may recall last year Drug Carmichael, I no, no, no, how could that was Ricky Gervais, who was awesome, Tina Fane, Amy Poehler.

They’re always solid, Joe says. The bosses said, be you. We like what you do and on stage, so let’s try and bring that to the globes. Will there be any roasting? Oh, I’m still gonna do what I do.

I want to do it in a celebratory way and i want to have a good time. But I’m still gonna make fun of a lot of people. Joe also got advice from Chris Rock. Did Chris give him any advice, say somebody to come out of the audience and try and slap him? Joe said no.

But out of everything he said to me, this one stuck out the most. He goes, screw the wardrobe, screw the costume change. Watch the show, Watch the entire show. You don’t know what’s gonna happen. That way, you’re ready.

If someone says something wrong, You’re not gonna walk out on stage and act like you saw it. You saw it, you can react to it, be prepared. The Intero Bang is a comedy website. They kind of lean into the New York City cigarettes smoking, scorched earth kind of comedy, and they did some end of the year comedy listener polls. It’s been a pretty slow news week, as you could tell.

I just did five minutes on Joe Koy Other than Kat Williams, Kat, can you scorch some more earth? That would be awesome, That would really help me out. So let’s take a look at what the Intero Bang had their album of the Year Best Comedy Album, Bob the Drag, Queens, Woke Man in Address interesting pick by the listeners there if you want a sense of their taste. The previous winners from twenty twenty two and back to twenty fourteen. Jen Kirkman, James Matturns, the check Spot talk about James much around here, Bonnie McFarlane, Rich Voz, Adam Ferrara, Joe DeRosa, Rich Voz again, Jmore and Big Jay Oakerson.

So that’ll give you a sense of that website’s reader’s sensibilities. Their best comedy Special of the year. Not despite everything I just said, this makes no sense to me, because this one I’m about to tell you has nothing to do with anything, you know what. I’m gonna wait a second and tell you who they named best comedy Special because it makes no sense based upon everything else we’re profiling here. Okay, Starting in twenty fourteen, Jim Jeffries, then Jim Norton, then Barry Krimmin’s Whatever Frightens You, Judah Friedlander, Gad Almela’s American Dream, in twenty eighteen Weird One.

Then follow the pattern here, Mark normand Shane Gillis, Christa Stefano. So you got kind of the vibe, right, Well, what’s the best comedy special of the year according to their readers this year? Kathleen Madigan’s Hunting Bigfoot? What must have been a writing campaign and they’re a stand up. Comedian of the Year this year went to Brit Kraser.

Previous winners Christtephanie Ownateperghatzy, Colin Quinn, she and Gillisburg, chrischer dju To Freelander, Jim Jeffreys, Natepergatzy and Bill Burr A. John dor did an interview with the Guardian and Dude, when somebody’s trying to give you press, just be gracious about it. I’m gonna read this entire transcript here, and John, you just sound like a jerky face. The Toronto Guardian asks, how would you describe your comedy style? I would use words.

Who are some of your influences? Buffy Saint Marie from Mighty Massachusetts. Who’s your favorite comedian growing up? David Letterman? You know you can elaborate.

Dude, you could say something about these people. Who’s your favorite comedian right now? Matt Rife, you could say something about it. What’s your pre show ritual? Threecams of Miller Lytton try to arrive on time?

Thanks John.

Speaking of Matt Rife, Vogue recently profiled him.

They were curious how he’s handling internet trolls. Rife said something I need to work on. I’m so immature. I have such hard time not replying back. We live in a world where everyone has such a false sense of security and confidence hiding behind a computer screen.

I have a huge problem with people not having to pay some kind of physical consequence. And obviously, because you’re on a computer screen, can’t slap the crap out of you, but I can at least check you. Sometimes I can roast you right back. Can’t let them get away with it. Trives me absolutely insane.

They were curious if people in his life are worried about ending up in his act now. Matt Raive said, I don’t talk too much about stuff close to home. I’ve always been that way. Like sometimes I’m so close to things I don’t find them funny at all. Like when I talk about my upbringing, where I’m from, all that kind of stuff, people are so fascinated and it’s not funny to me at all.

They asked him about his biggest fear. He said, the joke answer is spiders. I hate spiders. Spiders and heights. I’m not good with either one of them.

Deep answer, job security. That probably gives me the most anxiety. Bit what’s happening right now, It’s like, yeah, obviously it’s incredible. I’m trying to soak it all in and enjoy it. But this is a fickle business.

Yes, Matt, I think you have learned that fun tidbit from the recent Cliff nester Off book Outrageous, A History of Showbiz in the Culture Wars, contestants on Family Feud during Richard Dawson’s tenure had to undergo herpi’s tests on set. Currently back in the day, the game show implemented a policy stating that both male and female contestants had to undergo a mouth test with a magnifying glass from the medical staff. During one contestants experience, a production assistant announced, Okay, everybody, a line up for your herpes tests, and that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.

You can support the show and buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News, or go to the Fountain app. There are some SATs in my way. See you tomorrow,

Caloroga Shark Media. Kevin Hart has responded to Cat Williams high, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. If you missed Friday’s episode, I highly suggest to go back and listen to what Kat Williams had to say about everybody. Kevin Hart took to Twitter and wrote, gotta get that anger up bout your champ. It’s honestly sad.

In the meantime, please enjoy my movie trailer from an X film Lift, which will be dropping on Netflix in eight days. On The Ricky Smiley Morning Show on Thursday, Ricky told his radio audience that he was originally meant to be Money Mike, but in hindsight thinks Kat Williams was the better choice. He said, I had no reason to lie about that. They added that whole pimp twist to that character, which was actually a better decision and made it funnier. There’s no way in hell I could have executed that role like that, and I’m glad they made that decision.

Personally, I like to pimp roll better, but the Santa Claus role was just perfect for me. He added. We want to wish Cat Williams nothing but the best Kat had taken a shot at Joe Rogan, saying, Joe don’t want me there meeting Joe’s podcast, Joe got six comedians that ain’t ever been funny that he wants to push out. I wonder who those six comedians are. I could do some research.

He’s got some regulars on there. But Joe tweeted, I love Kat. He’s one of my favorite comics and I’d love to have him on. We talk about him all the time. If he’s down, I’ll make it happen.

That would be amazing. Please do that, Kat Williams. Ludacris responded to Kat Williams on Instagram. He released a freestyle and I wanted to share it with you, and some of the language is not language that I’m comfortable sharing. Some of the language I’m not comfortable reading.

And plus me reading a freestyle is going to be all kinds of corny. So let’s not do that. Johnny Mac just go to Ludacris’s Instagram. Will Yeah.

Meanwhile, having nothing to do with the appearance on Shannon Sharp’s podcas…

I watched this clip I wanted to share it with you, but again, lots of naughty language. I’m not comfortable sharing. But Cat talked about Jamie Fox’s recent mystery illness. Kat asked the audience, you know who got a lot of money. The audience says who, Cat responds Jamie Fox.

Kat then talks about the lack of details surrounding Jamie’s recent illness and insinuates that the Illuminati is probably behind it all and suggests that Jamie Fox bought himself a membership with its money. Kat william says he wouldn’t mind being a member of the Illuminati. He would like to know the secret to McDonald’s French rise.

In other news on the av Club website, Matt Schmikowitz writes Dave Chappelle’…

I was curious about Matt. Matt’s bio says that Matt is a staff writer and a little stinker in residence. Those are the words on the website. Former senior edisone know your Meme. He has appeared on Indy Wire, Vulture, and in Your Worst Nightmares.

All Right, Matt writes Netflix gave the gift of hate this holiday season with The Dreamer. There’s nothing thought provoking or incisive about The Dreamer, despite Dave’s best efforts to work in some half baked line as who we did there about how he’s a dreamer and how his audience is filled with dreamers too. Doesn’t make much sense, But it wouldn’t matter if he made perfect sense, because whatever groundbreaking idea Chappelle thinks he’s reaching with this turred is lost in this distracting obsession with trans people and his supposed cancelation. The prim ry feature of The Dreamer is Chappelle’s impish smile. It’s the same Anaia Staker smirk that Grace is the poster of Half Baked.

It’s long been how he can connect with his audience and let them in on the joke, but now he does it to let them know that he’s daring to say something he shouldn’t be. The self described turf lands one transphobic, homophobic, enablest joke after another, frequently returning to his most tired callbacks, and as Ricky Gervais did the week before, he’s ran out of d minus trans material and has moved on to people’s disabilities. But bluntly, what the f is this guy trying to tell us? Why should we listen? Is this even the kind of already wants to create every three years?

Is this even art? It’s more than every three years. It’s been one special a year again. I suspect that he must have owed Netflix something because this special just seemed undercooked. I won’t use half baked.

And it came out in New Year’s Eve. It was like, hey, Dave, you owe us one more and he went okay. But pure speculation by me. Back to the av club piece, writer Seth Simons recently suggested that we stop calling Chappella comedian at all, since his primary profession these days is an anti transactivist. Taylor el Mundsen’s new version of At Midnight, which is called After Midnight, kicks off Tuesday, January sixteenth at twelve thirty seven am.

After Midnight is based on the premise of At Midnight, that program run on Comedy Central between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. That should create some more material for the podcast, as that type of show tens that have a lot of comedians on also coming back soon no date yet, but Max, HBO, Max whatever we’re calling it. They’ve announced that season three of Hacks is happening this spring. If you haven’t watched Hacks yet, you should. It stars Gene Smart as Debra Vance who’s not quite Joan Rivers, and Hannah Einmender as Ava Daniels, who are writing together.

It’s a very fun show. There’s a new podcast comming out. It’s the history of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Susie s Men and Jeff Garland will host this recap show. They’ll tackle every episode, do out in January.

They hadn’t given a date on that, but maybe it’s out now. It’s January enough. Curb is back the first weekend in February, so there’s the timing there. You can’t imagine anyone doing a better job than James Andrew Miller did on his Origins podcast. He’s got a whole series there about Curb Your Enthusiasm, So James Andrew Miller’s Origins.

I slightly worked on that project. I don’t know how much work Jim put into it. So I would recommend you check out James Andrew Miller’s Origins podcast, Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, and we’ll see if this new one is any good. Fox News has given Saturday Night over to Jimmy Fala. He’ll take over as the permanent host of Fox News Saturday Night beginning January thirteenth.

That program promises a lighter take on the news of the week. The press release tells us Jimmy will add comedic commentary on cultural, political, and lifestyle topics that people across the world are buzzing about. Jimmy says, Fox News Saturday Night is a show for everyone who realizes that our country doesn’t need more Republicans or more Democrats. It needs more comedy, good sentiment there and that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, you can go to buy me a coffee.

Caloroga Shark Media. Oh man, thank you, Kat Williams. Get out your popcorn. Everybody. Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News.

Cat Williams must have known that yesterday was a slow news. Dane boy did he hook it up from the Hollywood Reporter And I’ve got audio for you. Wait you hear the audio. Just wait. You’re not gonna believe any of this.

Cat Williams went after a lot of people, but the Hollywood Reporter are focused on Cat going after Cedric the entertainer. That’s the least of it. Hollywood Reporter for allegedly stealing one of his jokes. Cat Williams was on the Club Shay Shay podcast. That’s Shannon Sharp’s podcast.

You know, I’ll read the article in a minute. Let me, let’s just tee this up. I can’t wait.

All right, here’s now.

I don’t want to hang myself, so I’m just gonna let Cat Williams speak for himself. In the first clip, cant Williams discusses Kevin Hart stays in the clubs and fifteen years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold out Kevin Hart show. There being a line for him ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club. He already had his deals when he got here. Have we heard of a comedian that came to LA and in his first year in LA he had his own sitcom on network Television and had his own movie called Soul Plane that he was leading.

No, we’ve never heard of that before that person or since that person. What do you think a plant is? Maybe people don’t understand the definitions of these words. He just did his documentary with Chris Rock where he shows you that his whole upbringing in comedy was on the East Coast. So how simultaneously was he here in Los Angeles doing the same thing.

It didn’t happen. It didn’t happen. And I hate to seem like a petty individual for picking apart lies, but just see slow leg on Keapling until you say we don’t believe you. Okay.

---

Now here’s Kat Williams discussing some sort of program.

I’ve listened to several clips that I’m gathering here that Kat believes there’s some sort of I don’t know. You enter in something in the Hollywood Illuminati, hook you up and you make millions of dollars or something. Kat explains, if you sign up for the program, you get a light skin, weird face wife that never do an interview. Listen, in twenty years, won’t do an interview. Nobody’s ever talked to her, and she’s never been interviewed anywhere.

And now understand, I’m not talking about one person. When I just told you applies to seven people. How they all end up with that, that’s part of what you get. Kat also discussed celebrities selling their souls. Let’s listen, that’s why you know what the number one job of somebody that saw their soul in Hollywood is is to act like it didn’t happen.

They all do the same job. Why do you think Gary Owen can’t cross over and he already white and been in comedy for twenty five years. If what I say ain’t the case, it’s a cabal, it’s a consortium. They rock with who they rock with, and they don’t with who they don’t. But I’m not scared of being the competition anymore than you were when you lined up across from a superior team.

Yeah, on paper, they’re a better team. They have all the assets and resources that we don’t but let us get on the line, boy boy, and see if that factors in. I guarantee you it won’t. Wow. Kat talked about Chris Chucker.

Now during this clip, he’s mugging for the cameraon’s a big smile on his face as he tells the story. Chris Tucker didn’t want to be the poster child for smoking weed. He don’t smoke weed like that. He and the church. Michael Jackson’s best friend Christmas.

Michael Jacks call him Christmas. You ever met a man? Yeah, you a little nickname like that? Me? Neither.

And one more here’s Kent Williams discussing ludacrous. There was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing and it had to be one or the other of us, and decisions had to be made. So it was both of us. We were equal. One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn’t do the sideburned thing no more with the points.

And the next person they said was going to get two hundred million dollars because they were gonna pay him ten million a movie to do twenty movies. And that’s how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be ludicrous and the other person turned out to be Kat Williams. Now one person ended up with a light skinned, ugly faced wife. That’s never done it.

Remember I told you that if I say that it applied, I sell him. Pier is part of when they give you all. Right. Back to the reporter who picked on After all that they went with the Cat Williams has gone after Cedric the entertainer, for allegedly stealing one of his jokes. I think that’s the least of it.

Hollywood reporter Kat said he thought I was just a no name comedian and that he could take this joke and nobody would know. The issue was that I’d already done this particular joke on be ET’s Comicview twice. I had done so well on Comic View that they made it part of the commercial. This is not just a random joke. This is my very best joke, and it’s my last joke, and it’s my closing joke.

Nineteen ninety eight. I’m doing this joke. It’s on Comicview. Ceder comes to the comedy story, watches me in the audience, He comes backstage. He tells me what a great job I did, and how much he loves the joke.

Two years later, he’s doing that as his last joke on the Original Kings of Comedy, and he’s doing it verbatim. He just changed my car into a spaceship. Cedric was on that same podcast in November twenty twenty two, and at that time said, I’ve seen this guy Cat Williams thirty times like dog, if you literally were that upset about it, Like why didn’t you say nothing like that? Don’t even make sense? This some internet stuff.

That’s all I could say. So you know, when I responded to him, he didn’t respond back to me, and I left it at that. Kat had responded to that, saying, why are you downplaying me like that? Why would I give you a pass if you were just gonna lie. He went on to say that Cedric specials are so bad they’re not available on Netflix.

It has been pointed out that at least one of Cedric’s especials at that time was on Netflix. In twenty twenty one, Cedric and I the accusations on Instagram, saying, look, I have no idea what this brother’s talking about. That joke is over thirty years old. Close to thirty something years old. I did Kings of Comedy in nineteen ninety nine, probably been doing that joke six seven years before that.

I don’t even know if Kat was doing comedy then. So you know, again, he’s a telliged brother. I have no idea what he’s talking about. I’ve never seen Kat do a space shuttle joke. That might be something he believes is true.

I’ve written a lot of jokes, and I’ve had a lot of comedians steal my jokes as well, So I understand if you feel slighted by that. But that’s my joke. That’s my joke. Dog Kunt Williams has claim that Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Ricky Smiley work in a group to shut Kent and others out of the industry, saying they aren’t three random guys, they’re co entwined and they share seats. Elsewhere in the episode, Kat takes shots of Steve Harvey, saying this is like Steve Harvey telling people he used to be homeless.

That’s my story, that’s not his story. Steve Harvey was never homeless twenty five years ago. He’s making three thousand dollars a show in cash and doing five shows a week. They just tell the stories. Who cares that they wrote a plot card for you to do family feud on like you’re successful, because we’re surprised you could talk for a living, and it’s entertaining that you say some funny country things but not a writer and I shared a lengthy, like sixteen minute clip in the Facebook group which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.

The official description. The legendary Kat Williams, hailed by many is the greatest comedian alive, joined Shannon Sharp at Club Chay Schaef for an explosively candid conversation. Renowned as one of America’s most exceptional entertainers, Kat fearlessly takes shots at fellow comedians like Ricky Smiley, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Kevin Hart. He opens up about his turbulent life, revealing his homelessness experience after moving out of thirteen, and shares the financial challenges he faced and kickstarting his comedy career. John Marcos Siresi tweeted, I feel like more careers are going to be impacted by Kat Williams list than Jeffrey Epstein’s all Right More controversy new topic.

Pat McAfee apologizes over Aaron Rodgers Epstein claim about Jimmy Kimmel. McAfee said, some things obviously people got very ticked off about, especially when they’re that serious allegation, So we apologize for being part of it. I can’t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Sounds like somebody at ESPN gott in bands here if he asked me, what do I know? McAfee said after the Rose Bowl game he and his team were rolling on two hours of sleep going into Tuesday show and added that the free wheeling nature of the show is his hallmark.

Quoting McAfee, there could be some things that were certainly probably I mean, we’re gonna have to hear from Aaron on that meant to be a S word talk joke that can then become something that’s obviously a very serious allegation, and that leads to a massive overnight story, one in which I put the baby down to sleep, I haven’t seen her in a while, and to pick up my phone and oh boy. We obviously don’t like to be associated with anything negative. Ever, would like our show to be an uplifting one. I happy one a fun one, but it’s because we talk crap and try to make light of everything. Some things, obviously people get very ticked off about, especially when they’re serious allegations.

We apologize for being part of it. I can’t wait to youar what Aaron says about it. Hopefully those two will just be able to settle this, you know, not work wise, but be able to chit chat and move along. I can understand why Jimmy got incredibly upset. I definitely completely understand that, especially with his position.

But also I think Aaron is like, hey, this guy has said some stuff about me in his monologue and he’s just trying to crap talk. I don’t think he meant anything else, but he’s gonna have to clarify for that fun, fun, fun new topic. Netflix released a trailer for Pete Davidson Special, which is out next week. Interestingly to me, there are no joke clips in the trailer, which is uncommon. Netflix trailers almost always have jokes in them, although the recent Dave Chappelle one also didn’t have any jokes.

So we’ll see a different trailers for Dusty Slay’s upcoming special on the sixteenth. I think Dusty’s gonna have a huge year. This guy’s great, and hopefully this will propel him. I’ll play clips from that in a second. The Spokesman Review had a nice profile of Dusty.

I like this description. The clever comic with a soothing baritone looks the part with his trigger hat and data glasses that could have been borrowed from fellow comic Judah Friedlander. I never noticed that before, and now I won’t be able to unsee it. Dusty said, Jeff Foxworthy’s the best. I can’t tell you how much I admire him.

I’ve always been a big fan. We couldn’t stop telling Foxworthy’s redneck jokes on our trailer. I believe the Jeff fox Worthy’s first two albums, You Might Be Redneck If and Game’s Rednecks Play are two of the best comedy albums of all time. Jeff fox arew Worthy was a big inspiration. So is Billing Vall, who was part of Foxworthy’s blue collar comedy group.

Chris Rock, who was always on HBO back then that during the nineties, was an inspiration, and so is Ellen DeGeneres. Dusty’s at the Spokane Comedy Club tonight and tomorrow. At one point, he had developed a live action sitcom for ABC inspired Bury’s Family that was not picked up. He also had a script for an animated series for Hulu that was never produced. But Dusty says, the great thing about stand up is that I don’t have to depend on anybody else.

There’s no one preventing me from delivering my material. Maybe one day I’ll have a TV show, but I’m not going to wait around for that since I’ll be out there doing stand up. Dusty Slay working Man on Netflix, January sixteenth. Let’s listen. I’ve got a lot of jobs.

I was the sauce guy. Wocome my way up to dishwasher, and I came in one day and the dishwasher had not shown up, you know, so I was gonna be making sauce and washing dishes. So I was like, well, let me go ahead and go on break.

---

And then I never came back because I don’t do two jobs.

You know what I mean, You’re gonna be short handed. You’re gonna be real short handed because I’m jumping off this sink and shit. Great stuff. I like him a lot. I hope you do too.

All right, here’s a Terrible Idea, a sequel to the movie Twins. Arnold Schwarzenegger has shared a photo on Instagram posing with Danny DeVito’s seventy nine. Arnold is seventy six. My brother was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway, and I need that he and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute. One of the best players I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart.

I can’t wait to work together again the movie I supposedly called Triplets. It’s been delayed several times. At one point Eddie Murphy would have played the third brother. Eddie peers to no longer be part of the project. Tracy Morgan reportedly set to take on the new port.

That is an awful idea. Fellas all right, some more details about that Tom Sigory, Berg Krascher five K I talked about yesterday. It is the five K by May Challenge. The goal is to run it in under twenty six minutes. Any minute that Tom sigor and Bert Krascher go above the twenty six minute five K runtime challenge, they will each donate one thousand dollars to a charity of their choice.

Bert’s planning on throwing a big party after the five K. All right, so Bert is fifty one, So Goore is only forty four. Wow, I would have guessed he was a little older.

---

Also, Bert, I didn’t think Bert was that old.

So at some point you’re gonna age out of that shirt off thing, right, Like you’re not gonna be seventy years old on stage doing the shirt off thing, are you? And again, I don’t mean a hate. I like both of their comedy a lot. All right, under twenty six minutes. I don’t know what kind of shape Tom Sigor is in or not, but at forty four, if he puts his mind to it, he should be able to do that at fifty one.

Bert Kraser under twenty six minutes as in twenty five fifty nine. I know at fifty four I would not be able to get there, but I’m slow. I could lose some weight, but even ten years ago I couldn’t get it down to twenty seven. I do have a friend who was seven years younger than me and my running buddy, and he’d be able to do it. But I’m gonna bet Sigura no and Bert no.

We’ll see if I’m wrong so far. Michelle Wolfe, Tim Dillon, Stavarrels Halkias and Mark normandor in tentative yes is are from Shane Gillis and Louis c. K. So that should be a lot of fun. And that is your comedy news for today.

Thank you, Kat Williams. If you enjoy the program, you like, support it, go to buy me at coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News through a couple bucks in the tip chow, I’ll go to the National don’t Chaine, I’ll get a largeazed coffee, et cetera. And if you’re hip two Podcasting two point zero and Value for Value, you can listen to this program on the Mountain appened. There are some sets my way. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. God bless you. Aaron Rodgers. Hi, I’m choii magg with your Daily Comedy News. It’s a slow news week, but Aaron Rodgers has hooked it up.

Aaron was on the Pat McAfee show. The subject turned to the Jeffrey Epstein List. If you know what I’m talking about, people who may have visited the island, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Aaron said, there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping the list doesn’t come out. I’ll sell you what if that list comes out, I’ll definitely be popping some sort of bottle.

That did not go over well with Jimmy Kimmel and I love a good celebrity fight. Jimmy Kimmel went on Twitter and by the way, elon stop with the other name. Every single reference to your platform says formally Twitter. We’re all calling a Twitter. You gotta stop.

You gotta come back to the pack with that one. Anyway. Jimmy Kimmel went on Twitter and wrote, dear ahole. He used the formal term for a hole and spelled it with a as in Aaron, dear a hole. For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, Nor will you find my name on any list other than the clearly phony nonsense that soft brain wackles like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality.

Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. On the Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Kimmel played the clip and added it might be time to revisit the concussion protocol Aarin. He also referred to Aaron Rodgers as a tinfoil hatter from TMZ. Madison Cawthorne says he loved getting roasted in Dave Chappelle’s special.

By the way, I’ve been on the reddit’s and all over the internet. I am not alone in my review of Dave Chappelle’s Not Good special. It seems everyone agrees with me. There’s like a jokes in the whole thing. Wow, what a misstep by Dave on that one.

I wonder why he released it and it came out near Z Eve. I wonder if contractually maybe he owed Netflix something I don’t know. Cawthorne tells the TMZ that Dave Chappelle is his favorite comedian and he went to one of dave shows in Tampa. Madison says Dave was floored to see him in the audience. Dave invited him backstage after the show, introducing Madison to Chappelle’s family and giving him some drinks.

In the credits of Dave Special, there’s even footage of Madison laughing in the audience and the two posts together for a photo after the set. Wow. Ricky Gervaise tweeted a screenshot of himself and Dave Chappelle’s special logos as number one and two on Netflix and said they should host the Oscars together. Yes, that would be amazing. Please make that happen.

This year’s host is Jimmy Kimmel. Boy, if that could happen in twenty twenty five, you’ll watch. Craig Robinson, he played Daryl in the Office. He’s up for a reboot. Yeah, no kidding, steady work is a good thing.

Craig. By the way, if the Office wants to cast me as you know John who sits in the back and has like one line, I’m up for it. Robinson was asked by the EV Club if you heard anything about a potential reboot, and he joked he only hears about it. While doing interviews, Craig said, I heard there was something going on. It hasn’t been mentioned to me.

If it does, I’d love to reprise Darrel at some point, But right now, I don’t know. I don’t know how you make that show happen. I mean, I guess there’s a version where Dwight is the boss and there’s some new people there, and people like I don’t know, Phyllis still work there for some reason. And what do you do with Pam? But didn’t Jim and Pam move away?

Right? So how do you work Pam back into the show? You can’t unless you want to do something awful to the characters. Are you going to really tune in for the Dwighton Oscar Show? I mean, even Kevin’s a bartender.

How does this work? I don’t know, but I’d watch. I guess I would watch, but it’s probably best left alone. Creator Greg Daniels said in November that no spin off of reboot talks are happying officially. He’d rather make a sister show instead of recasting the characters.

If you’re in Australia. The Office is getting a female led remake. Felicity Ward will play the manager of packaging company Finley Krtik. If you’re on Hulu, there’s an Indian version that I’ve been checking out. That’s not bad at all.

It is a slow newsweek. Mark Norman was profiled sword of kind of by The New York Post. I don’t know what the point of this article was other than the link to buy some tickets to Mark Norman show, and maybe the Post gets a commissioned I don’t know. Mark Noman’s own The New York Post. In an exclusive interview, all right, relax, he’s not exactly Tom Cruise there, Norman said, I got a hot new hour.

We’re cooking Baby. Last night. I did six sets some such a horror for stage time. When I was in Baltimore. I did the twenty five hundred seat Lyric Theater and I had a good set, and then my buddy goes, I know this bar show about thirty minutes away, and we did it.

Then The Post writes to Norman, it’s not just about getting up and telling jokes, though he knows how much of an effort audiences make to go out and see live comedy and wants to deliver an amazing experience in return. Is it a slow newsweek? Johnny Mac? You asked the New York Post? Huh, Norman said, you gotta get people a show.

They got a babysitter, they’ve been on a college shirt, and they’re trying to get laid, So you gotta ring a baby. Plus, I got a hot chunk on culture appropriation. That’s really cooking to me. If I can get laughs on an icy topic, that’s what comedy is all about. That’s the entire article, John, Is it a slow news week?

Why? I wanted to tell you that Tom sigor is playing Hong Kong on the eighth. No, that’s not an interesting Sigora said. I’ve always wanted to go back to Hong Kong. The city feels alive.

It feels like a city that never sleeps, and part of it is intoxicating. The food was outrageously good. We went to a restaurant and had a three hour dim sum feast. When I’m most looking forward to no offense. It’s not performing a show there, it’s going there to eat and just hang out.

By the way, I was too lazy to pull the audio on this week’s Two Bears, One Cave Sigora and ber Krascher. They started talking about organizing a five k Krayser is talking about running a seven minute mile, and Segora goes, you know, do you mean seven to fifty nine or do you mean seven? And Kryscher is saying seven Chraysier is fifty one. I don’t see that happening. I will be mighty impressed, per Kraser, if you hand in even one seven minute mile.

Dude, Johnny Mac, can you run a seven minute mile? No, Johnny Mac can’t. Ten years ago when I did my first marathon, I was doing the Ruckers Half Marathon and I finished the first half of it in like fifty nine minutes and change. You can do the math there. That’s nearly ten minute miles.

And that was a decade ago when I was more fit, and I wasn’t that fit then, And I don’t know. Burt Kreischer, sure, seven minute mile, Good luck anyway. Sigora talked about his wife, Christina p who’s also comedian, said she’s a way better joke writer than I am. She writes structurally better things, and I’m more of a storyteller. We don’t compete against each other.

I know it’s with some comedy couples that have tension in the relationships because they’re competing. That just isn’t very healthy. No matter what the couple does for a living, Well, how does it work out? If Tom Sigore is in Hong Kong, Tom says, somebody’s always home. We’re lucky that we have the same agent, so he knows if he’s booking me this week that he’s not going to book Christina.

But if Tom’s home the next week, he can book Christina. She doesn’t like touring as aggressively as I do sometimes, so it always works out. Johnny Mac, do you have a file labeled leftovers? Why? Yes, I do.

Why do you ask because John Marco SIREESSI you talk to the pit news about crowd work, and John Marco, who’s fantastic comeding, keep an eye on him. He says, First of all, I feel very often I just don’t post the failures. I think it’s like when you do crowd work, you’re performing with someone else. Usually they’re not a performer’s You kind of have to adapt to what they’re giving you. If they answer something weird.

You got to follow them on that track. If they go off on a tangent that isn’t regularly funny, you have to find a way to curve it back to the unique thing. It’s a dance, but it all depends on the audience member. The greatest skill is learning when to bail, learning when to go. There’s nothing happening here.

We’re sticking with it until something funny emerges, which every once in a while you wait a while and then boom. It was all worth it. But it’s tough, and I do a fair amount of it, and I don’t consider myself an expert at it. I think it’s a really challenging skill to always make it good. Good question here from the Pit News their question, I discovered you through social media clips.

Platforms like Insta and TikTok have become powerful outlets for stand up comedians. How have they changed what it means to be an up and coming comic? I like this question. John Marco feeld it well, he said, I ultimately think it changes things for the worst, and the sense that when I perform, it’s no longer just for the people in the room. Crowd work is a perfect example there’s times when I probably could have ended a crowd work interaction sooner, but my mind, I’m going, ah, I’ve been trying to get longer videos for youtubes, so I’m gonna keep pushing it, keep exploring.

Now, I don’t think I’d ever sacrifice a show for the clip, but it’s in my head. There’s a thing that is thinking of the outside camera, and it’s cool in the sense where I can capture the moment, capture topical joke, can share it beyond the audience in the room. On the other hand, you could say that because of social media and having to release more material, that I mix up my act more than I would have otherwise, so you get more fresher perspectives. But ultimately, I think most comedians would admit it hurts the art form where it makes it harder to do well because you have to be functioning on two cylinders. May Martin talked to they Cultured magazine on dating.

This also from the leftover folder. But I saw a news item this week about May Martin dating. May is in a relationship with Parvati from Survivor Remember Porvadi? Will They’re dating? Culture asked May is there one day you’ve been on where we’re like from top to bottom.

This was utter chaos. May said, I went to an Airbnb and big bear with someone I was dating in the middle of winter, snow everywhere. We get in the hot tub and the door locked behind us. We’re in the mountains, there was ice on the road. We had our phones and called the airbnb host and they said we can get you in about an hour.

We huddled in the hot tub and the freezing cold until the chlorine bleached my black bathing suit orange. The guy finally came, but he forgot his key. He ended up taking off the edges. She broke up with me a week later. I don’t think this because of that, but definitely and help.

If you need something to watch, go on the eight hundred Bound Garillas YouTube channel at seven o’clock Central time today and Tommy O’Regan’s Suspicially Nonchalant will make its premiere.

There are some money on the tipgr I’ll thank you on the Earn on the air says, I’m a radio guide. There’s no on the air, John, it’s a podcast. I’ll thank you on the downloaded file on your mobile device, and I’ll take your money and I’ll get a large iced coffee with caramel and milk. I really want to go back to the butter per can, but I have noticed the butter per can increases the likelihood of kidney stones. And believe me, you don’t want kidney stones.

TMI, y yes, TMI. Another thing you can do, if you know what podcasting two point zero and value for value is, you can use the Fountain app. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can google those terms, or you can look in the show notes. Anyway, hopefully Aaron Rodgers shoots back at Jimmy Kimmel and we can have an all out war, or Chappelle does something crazy, or we’ll see if Pete Davidson actually does a show on the sixth.
