Callaroga, Shark Media. Be there, Trainy mat with the daily comedy views. Let’s start out in Los Angeles. Some comedy clubs had to close as the fires spread. The Comedy Store announced they would be closed, saying we prioritize the safety of our staff, performers and audience.
We’re working on rescheduling the shows for the dates and will provide an update soon. The Laugh Factory similarly closed, announcing on Instagram these shows had been canceled. All ticket holders will be refunded. On the TV side, Jimmy Kimmel Live has shut down production on his Tuesday monologue, which was taped at four thirty pm Pacific time, and Jimmy said he had no power at his house and joked that he might have to sleep over at Gillermo’s. Jimmy did get a joke in saying the wind is especially scary here in LA because of all the boatos.
We’re not used to seeing things move at all.
Also shut down.
The price is right. I’ll mention that because comedian Drew Carey HOSTSED and CBS’s After Midnight. The late night shows did discuss it, they treaded lightly. Seth Meyer said before Kick Things off. We just want to send our love to everybody in the LA area in California right now who are dealing with wildfires.
These scenes we’re seeing on television are obviously harrowing, and there are no real words so they can share other than we’re thinking about you and hoping for your safety. Jimmy Fallon said, I just want to say that a heart’s got to everyone in Los Angeles right now dealing with the massive wildfires out there. You just see the footage on TV. It’s surreal. We have so many friends who’ve been affected.
We just hope that everybody stay safe, including all the firefighters and everyone else trying to contain it. Stay safe. We love you, La. Stephen Gobert said, we know that people love Los Angeles are resourceful and kind, and they’re doing everything they can do to help one another. We want to send our love and concern to all the residents of Los Angeles who are facing what is being described as the most destructive fire in the city’s history.
Joe River’s daughter Melissa, shared that she had just a few minutes to save a couple items from her house, which was destroyed by the fire. She told CNN, I kind of had a mental checklist. I made sure that we got passports, birth certificates, medication, clothing. I was just out shopping for clothes. It started to hit me.
We literally just had what we had on our backs. I grab whatever was there in my personal situation. That’s it. That’s the end of everything that belonged to my family and the history of it. To be one hundred percent honest, I grabbed my mom’s Emmy, a photo of my dad and a drawing that my mother had done of me and my son.
Melissa shared that the Emmy is Jones’ Daytime Emmy Statute, which she won on behalf of the Joan Rivers Show in nineteen ninety for outstanding Talk slash Service. Show host Jean Smart’s start of Hacks has called on the networks to skip awards season. In her statement, Jean Smart said, with all due respect during Hollywood season of celebration, I hope any of the network’s televising the upcoming awards will seriously consider not televising them and donating the revenue they would have garnered to the victims of the fires and the firefighters. She labeled her post with the word attention in all caps at the start a nod at all. Convinced that that is something the networks are going to do.
The Awards shows will happen, in my opinion, shifting gears. Jim gaff again was on The Kelly Clarkson Show and asked Kelly, what is going on with the feet you see? He noticed that Kelly Clarkson was barefoot at the beginning of their interview. Kelly explained, I feel more grounded when I sing if I’m barefoot. Jim then speculated on why she might not have shoes on and did a high pitched voice, saying, I feel more grounded when I sing if I’m barefoot.
I can feel the ground. Nikki Glaser tells The Wall Street Journal she regrets her twenty eighteen season of Dancing with the Stars. She was the first contestant eliminated. Glazer said that was truly a low point in my life. I never thought I’d be in first place, but I thought it might last longer than the blind woman on the show.
Roywood Junior has a special coming out on January seventeenth. There is a trailer and I’m going to go first here. I think this material is hacky. I think the material is weak, and to my ears it sounds if perhaps possibly maybe conceivably the laughter is added in which you know happens in trailers. But this whole piece here not good.
