Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Disability charity Scope has been forced to moderate its social media accounts after receiving hateful messages in response to Ricky Gervais’s comedy routine Is from The Independent. The charity had criticized a joke made by Ricky, who used the term baldy while referring to terminally ill children in his new special Armageddon. Ricky jokes that the children supported by the Macawish Foundation were fing our words for not wishing to get better.
In a tweet, Scope said, language like this has consequences. The stage is real, Netflix is real. The people this kind of language impacts are real. Joking about this kind of language trivializes it. It risks normalizing the abuse that many disabled people face on a day to day basis.
Two days later, they had to turn off replies on Twitter, clarifying that we aren’t here to dictate what anyone should or should not find funny. They denied attempts to police comedy or speak on behalf of all disabled people. They were asked why they drew attention to Ricky’s routine comedians using the arsler and Bolden’s others to use it. We’ve seen this firsthand this week with disabled people being abused directly in their applies to our post. Bill Berg got political on Jimmy Kimmel’s show and said, you want to see a great case on narcissism.
Liberals are so effing stupid in the way they handled Trump. Leave the narcissist neutral energy neutral. You know what I think he was. He was a one hit wonder. He wrote the Twist and that was it.
He was on the casino circuit and then you idiot liberals wrote the twist again when you indicted him, and now he’s a martyr. He’s coming back. Jimmy, I can’t believe that these are honestly going to be our two choices, because I really try with each thing to be like, figure out who I’m gonna you know, there’s got to be on somebody in their forties, somebody that’s going to live with their decisions. Burr then said, with any luck, they’ll both die of natural causes before the election, and maybe you can get somebody that still has something to live for, you know. Send your letters to Bill Burr care of Jimmy Kimmel.
Alive. This next story made me just go Really from the Cut, despite the fact that they look nothing alike, agreed, people keep confusing comedians Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster. Yeah, why, The Cut says, It’s pretty easy to tell them apart if you have at least one working eye, a modicum of critical thinking skills, and didn’t sleep through your mandated DEI training in twenty twenty. Last week, in an article, The Hollywood Reporter included a tweet of Joel Kim Boosters as an example of a notable celebrity speaking out against Juliana Marghley’s. However, they also refer to Joel Kim Booster as a quote Saturday Night Live comedian He’s not That would be Bowen Yang.
Bowen Yang, who is not Joel Kim Booster addressed it on his podcast Las Culturistas. Bowen said, Also, I don’t think so, honey. Hollywood Reporter for is still confusing me and Joelkim Booster. In an article about this whole Juliana Marghleiz thing an article that’s reporting on racism, co host Matt Rodgers said, how ironic is that? Made me so upset?
It’s an article reporting on racism, and then you do the racist bs of SNL comedian Joel Kim Booster. The first was in twenty nineteen, when Hollywood Reporter shared a photo of Booster alongside an article about Yang’s hiring atn SNL. Jeez. The cut points out what’s out about this situation. It’s not hard to tell Yang and Booster part they don’t look similar, their comedy styles are different, and one of them wears glasses.
It’s much easier to tell them apart than say, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. Chevy Chase fell off a stage and I think it was real. TMC has the video footage. I watched it. I don’t think Chevy was doing a bit.
They wheeled Chevy on stage for a Q and a conversation after a screening of nineteen eighty nine’s National Lampoon’s Christmasification. Chevy stands up, walks towards the other side of the stage to wave hello, and then seems to stumble and fall off the stage. Again. I don’t think it’s a bit. He’s helped back on the stage by his wife as well as the interviewer.
Chevy said, wait, my watch is talking to me. It says, I see I’ve taking a great fall. Then Chevy’s wife is seen tinkering with the watch and says, otherwise they might send an ambulance. Who knows. On Gossip Corner, Adam Sandler spotted by Sanna Antonian’s Adam Sailor clad in green sweatpants emblazoned with lightning bolts and a blue puffer jacket.
He makes me look like George Clooney. San Antonio local Alex managed to get a photo with Adam Sandler. In the photo, Adam Sandler is seen enjoying a cup of freshly brewed coffee from larder while seated in their outdoor patio area. Jackie Novak is getting a Netflix special. We are over using the word special, folks.
This one directed by Natasha Leone, who also executive produce it. It’s a half hour concert film, half comedy show. It is quotes both raunchy and poignant, and an unexpectedly philosophical coming of age triumph that pushes the boundaries of stand up. Jacqueline Novak Get on Your Knees, Netflix, January twenty third. That’s early in the year.
It could be number one on my list of best stand up in twenty twenty four, at least for a moment. We’ll see Culture That spoke to Mae Martin about their dating habits. May said, when I’m single, I really enjoyed dating. I’ll admit I could be two activity based. I’m a big fan of an escape room and arcade things like that.
When it comes to first dates, I feel like you know pretty quickly you don’t want to get in a situation where you’re going on a lot of third and fourth dates where you wind up having twenty mini breakups. Be honest when you have a connection and pursue it. If not, be really clear. In my early thirties, I was living in London and dating a couple. That was my first experience with alternative relationship structures.
I loved how they navigated the world. It was one of the healthiest romantic experiences of my life. They introduced me to Field feeld. I’m unfamiliar with it. I’m looking my family is going to be like what is in your search history?
John, Let’s see. Welcome to Field, the modern dating app connecting like minded individuals for fulfilling relationships. The Google machine tells me it facilitates communication between people interested in ethical non monogamy, polyamory, casual sex, kink, swinging, and other alternative relationship models. Wasn’t familiar with that one. Between that and watching Whitney Cumming specials, my family is going to be like, what are you doing down there?
Anyway, this couple that May Martin was dating introduced them to Field. Martin says, those apps, you know, they could sort of pressing, but it seemed like it had a sense of humor about itself. There’s more of a sense of fun and play on Field than any of the others. Are right, they got their plugs in there. May about those escape rooms, May said you have to gauge your date’s level of tolerance for terror and history.
And there’s some that are more puzzle based. I like the ones with live actors. There’s one that I did on date. It was very ill advised. My date was nervous and said, there are no actors in this right.
I didn’t think there were, And I asked the people who worked there. I was like other actors, and they lied. So there we were, and a man came in with a chainsaw and this poor person I was on the date with was just traumatized, but in a way we trauma bonded. It was kind of a fun story. Well, I’m stilling over that last news story there.
I’m no prude, but uh, we were out there a little bit there, Jenny Mick. Let’s rain it back in Ray Romano. He runs a little bit more on my speed. He’s got a new Netflix eight episode dark comedy series. I’m already in Ray Romano comedy I’m in.
It’s called No Good Deed. It follows three very different families vying to buy the same nineteen twenties Spanish style villa that they think will solve all their problems. But, as the sellers have already discovered, some times, the home of your dreams can be a total nightmare. Ray Ramond plays Paul Morgan. He doesn’t look like a Paul Morgan.
Change that character’s name. That’s not good. Ramano will play Paul Morgan, Constantly stressed and flat broke. Paul is a contractor desperate to retire, pay off his debts, and escape la. He thinks selling his beautiful luss for these home is the solution to all and his wife Lydia’s problems, but his past mistakes will continue to haunt him hmm, dead to me on Netflix no date yet.
