Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with with your Daily Comedy News at daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry. Yes, that is a sentence you say when trying to train these Spotify transcription algorithm. Burt Kreischer will host a New Year’s Eve Live, Nashville’s Big Bash on CBS New Year’s Eve, which is coming up quickly. Bert will co star with country music star Hardy.
Social media star Halle Bailey will correspond from New York City and count down the East Coast at midnight Eastern. Then it’ll be up to Burton Hardy to keep the party going through midnight Central doing the music Note Drop, which is Nashville’s version of the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop from the Bisentennial Stage. Burt Kreischer said, you hear people say I’m honored and privileged to be working with a certain group of people, But in this case, I’m blown away that I’m allowed to work with these people. This lineup is insane. You lineup includes people like Dirk s Bentley Brooks and Dunn rass Flats, Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and a special appearance by Dusty Slay.
All Right. Bert said, this event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun to be working with my buddy Hardy. Feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. Don’t say that out loud. Your agent will kill you.
I can’t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on. I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier. Bert’s often collaborator Tom Sigora, will have a Netflix special on Christmas Eve. Tom Sigora Teacher has released a trailer.
I’ve made a few edits here, so some of the edits are in the trailer. They actually chopped the jokes down. I have taken out a few snippets here and there where Sigura used a naughty word, but I think I’m keeping the integrity of the joke here, and this is my intention. Here is an edited version of Tom Sigora’s Teacher trailer. I got to fly with the Blue Angels and I met one of the pilots.
This dude looked like he was designed in a lab. I think about this guy every day, Okay, so I walk up to him I go, hey, I’m Tom, and he goes, I’m whatever you say, daddy. But we went up for forty five minutes. We flew vertically, we did barrel rolls. It was the most thrilling forty five minutes of my entire life.
But when I got back, I realized that we are the only country on Earth where when you see a fleet of fighter jets approaching, you know something cool is going to happen. We send them to the Daytona five hundred. But if you’re in the Hindu Kush province of Afghanistan and you see seven f twenty twos, you’re not like, oh, yeah, today’s the race. And recently I told you Tom Sagor was getting into the bakery business, and on his Instagram he told us about it. As you may know, I love croissants, and so I tapped my absolute favorite baker in the world to open a place here in Austin, Texas.
We have a Papa. It’s at the fair Grounds in downtown Austin. Has all kinds of food options, but I want you to see what we got here, playing raisin, blueberry ricotta, hair ricotta. Of course, the famous fun Fresh bake focaca with onions, tomatoes, olive base one. We have pizza with prejudo, and of course you can get a coffee and espresso, savory sweet, whatever you want.
We have it here at Chicho Bamba, which means a little fat ass in Italian, so you can practice your Italian. Come get full, check us out. We’re at the fair grounds and we are open right now. I’ll see you there.
And then yesterday his plan was to drop by the bakery and he shared even more…
I will be going for lunch. Yeah, come on, buy have pizza, have a sandwich, banina with homemade focaca, all different types of sandwiches. Or you’re an adult and no we can tell you what to eat for lunch. Have a pastry, have a blueberry pastry for lunch, or have a chocolate croissant. Why not the best the whole damn world.
So why don’t you have one there, a cup of coffee, whatever you want? Out today on Hulu Kamail on Jihanni’s Night Thoughts. Some people say it’s the best special of the year. I wish I could give you an opinion on it, but no one at Hulu will get back to be one way or another. They don’t even say you’re stupid.
No one listen to your podcast, which would be a fine answer. But I go through the front door, the back door, the email door, the LinkedIn door. Nothing. So is it good? I don’t know.
I’m gonna watch it the knickt Tonight, Vulture had it as the best special Year, which, based on the trailer, sounds like maybe somebody had some crack. I’m not accusing anyone at Vulture of being on crack. I’m saying it sounds like someone may have had some crack. But again, I haven’t seen it. Wish I could tell you less facetiously I was.
I was thinking about it too. I think kameil Angianni has goofed up as comedic persona because he always did that beta thing in his old comedy album is called Beta Mail, and he always did that delivery.
And then he came out as the you know, the buff guy in whatever that Marvel mo…
Is that what it’s called. I want to say it the Incredibles. It’s not The Incredibles, the Eternal you know, the one where he buffed up and he kind of got away from the beta persona. But then in his comedy act, he drops back into the beta persona, which I understand and I’ve explained Larry the cable guy does an affected voice, and Bastian does an affected voice. I’m doing an affected voice right now.
If you listen to the episodes I dropped this week about Rob Reiner, you may have noticed I deliberately used a different, more serious delivery as opposed to this sing song thing I do for Daily Comedy News. But when I watched Camille Now doing comedy, I’m like, Eh, but aren’t you the eternals guy. It’s very confusing. Survivor of fifty is coming out now. I missed the early days of Survivor, specifically the first two seasons.
In the first season spoilers you had twenty five years, they would actually eat rats, and then in season two they were like not eating enough and the guy fell face first into the fire.
And then after that anytime a Survivor now it’s like, oh, Jeff’s here with so…
But those early days were fantastic. Anyway, Survivor fifty is coming out. My friend Pat was like, do you want to be in the Survivor pool again? I used to be in the Survivor pool. I’m like, all right, for Survivor fifty, I’ll be in the pool and Jimmy Fallon will have something to do with Survivor fifty.
Back in February, Jimmy Fallon had Jeff Probes on The Tonight Show to tease a season that was quote putting things in the hands of fans. Fallon surveyed the audience most people wanted Jeff to appear as a contestant in season fifty. Propes to ask the audience if I would appear on Survivan sub fashion should Jimmy host? Of course, the Tonight Show audience liked that idea. Jeff struck out his hand and they shook any agreement.
Fallon said, I don’t know what it means and my Survivor what happened? Well, in the new trailer, one of the contestants says something along the lines of perhaps Jimmy Fallon is deciding my fate here, So who even knows? Jeff Probes has previously revealed it was Jimmy Fallon who first pitched the idea of season thirty one Survivor Second Chance, and in season thirty nine, Jimmy Fallon came up with the idea to bring back two former contestants as coaches. So who knows, maybe Jeff briefly enters the contest and Jimmy Fallon hosts for a couple minutes. Anyway, I’ll be watching Survivor season fifty.
And don’t forget Comedy Survivor, A legally distinct parody comes to Daily Comedy News January fifth. We’ll be playing that in the Facebook group. Feel encouraged to join us Daily Come News podcast group, and I will do Comedy Survivor, probably as bonus episodes on Monday, starting on January fifth. More Amy Schumer gossip. Hey Amy, you live in the press.
You get roasted by the press. From Jezebel, they noticed that Amy Schumer has deleted her nonchalant Instagram, you know the one where she was like blah blah blah, we’re getting divorced. That one. She’s taking it down. Hm hm.
On Tuesday night, Amy posted a sketch from inside Amy Schumer. The sketches goofing on Hallmark movies, where a big city career girls coming home and falling in love with the hometown guy. Jezebel adds all her famous friends celebrated her divorce announcements. Maybe somebody sent her a note from Jezebel on Monday, in which Nora biet Timmins wrote, I disagree with Schumer’s famous friends. I think this is one of the most annoying breakup announcements since consciously uncoupling.
But whatever, Jezebell continues that. Page six reported this week that the former couple’s main priority is cope parenting their six year old son Jean. Amy wants Chris to stick around for Gene if she contemplates another comedy tour at any point in the future. She wants Chris to be the one looking after Gene and ideally be willing to travel with her. She just never wants to be romantically involved with him again.
Don’t know what’s going on there. It’s all kinds of curious. The Hollow Reporter. I spoke to Robbie Hoffman about Cancel culture. I was talking to one of the trivia guys about Robbie Hoffman just the other night.
By the way, my team finished third, got some plastic sunglasses, had a good time.
Also, try the Christmas stout.
Very tasty, Robbie Hoffan told The Hollywood Reporter. First of all, anyone could do anything. I hate when comedians say you’re not allowed to talk about nothing. Hey, you’re allowed to talk about whatever you want, so can anybody else. You could talk about what you want, but somebody might have a response to that.
The subject at hand is an AIDS joke in Robbie Hoffman’s new special. Robbie said, I think AIDS became funny again, would it became chronic? The Holocaust? During the Holocaust is not funny. AIDS in the eighties is not funny.
AIDS and now was Zoopsie, You know what I mean. The education is out there. It’s like smoking at this point. And by the way, I still like a cigarette. The Holler reporter said they were surprised to see a warning in the special that it contained smoking when it’s just a throwaway moment of you tossing a cigarette or something.
Robbie said, yeah, I think it was my vape. I can’t believe there’s a warning. But you also got a rough cat, so I don’t know what warnings they slept on it. I hope they remove all that. It’s for kids, guys, it’s for the whole family.
The Holly reporter talked about her profile going up when she did hacks, Robbie said, not, it’s a name drop. Sarah Silverman said I was a telephone star or something like that. I asked her what it meant, and she said it was something like when all the agents are talking about you, they’re picking up the phone. So it’s been that kind of experience. I’ve been slow and steady wins the race.
I’m thrilled to be here. People are like, you have an Netflix special? Can you believe it? And I kind of can. I thought there was something here.
We also learned that Robbie Hoffman is on Steve Carell’s new show. She said, the whole time I’m on set, my brother’s going did you tell him about the Office? What would I tell him about the office? He knows about the office? He’s the guy.
And by the way, I did by the end of it, I said, hey, my brother and I we thought you did a great job on the Office. If you’re listening on Spotify, follow up Daily Comedy News so it shows up in your feet every morning. That’s the kind of thing you would say if you were trying to goose the algorithm. But it is Friday, it is time for comedy. Stock Market hit It, Burt Reynolds Comedy stock Marketine.
I don’t want to force this segment. I don’t have a lot for you this week, so I don’t want to just like make a long list because I invented this segment and I have to do something. And as I point out every week, this is not a statement of somebody’s good or bad. It’s where their value is right now. If we were making money off all this, where’s the value?
I think we should keep accumulating Robbie Hoffman Stock. I mean, if you’re talking to a trivia guy about it, then you know Robbie Hoffman is in the mainstream now, so let’s accumulate some more Robbie Hoffman Stock. And I kept thinking about yesterday’s gossip story about Amy Schumer and Nikki Glaser, and let me put it to you this way, whose career do you like more right now? If you had a bet on the future, you’re taking Amy Schumer’s future right now or Nikki Glaser’s future. And I think that’s pretty clear you’re taking Nicky Glazer right So let’s sell Amy buy Nicki.
Also out of today’s news, Tom Sigora, that’s special. That’ll probably do well. The trailer is pretty good. Tom Sigora had a good year. Let’s buy a little Tom Sigora.
And here’s one. And you don’t even know why yet because you didn’t hear the next story. But I have the script and you don’t. Let’s buy some Pete Corey, Ellie Corey. Elly’s been opening for Sebastian Maniscalco.
That has had to have upped his visibility. That means he’s around the right agents. And I’ve known Pete for twenty years. He was the co host on Jim Brewer’s show, The Gator. He hates being called that, but it was the best nickname ever.
Why because he has big teeth and he’s gonna bite you, meaning if you’re in a room with him, he’s gonna slam you with a good joke and just kill you like an alligator would. So Pete Corelly the Gator. Let’s buy some Gator, buy some Sgora, buy some Robbie Hoffin will sell Amy Schumer, will buy some Nicky Glazer. She’s hosting The Go and Globes, which one time was hosted by Joe Coy. But I don’t have time for that today.
That’s your comedy stock Market on this Friday.
Speaking of Pete Corielly, he will be one of the headliners at the twenty twe…
Say I tell you I had information you didn’t have, because I have the scripts the Aspen Laugh Festival March eleventh through the fifteenth at the Wheeler Opera House. I’ve seen comedy shows in that very building, very good. I want to tell you I saw Mulaney there a zillion years ago. Maybe I’m making that up, because if you’ve listened to it, you always hear me say, Okay, we’ll grab dinner at a couple of beers and then go to the show. So who even knows who I saw?
I can’t tell you I saw Dave Chappelle at one of the Aspen Comedy Festivals back when it was just for laughs Aspen or whatever they called it back in the day. I digress. This year’s Aspen Laugh Festival, Pete Corielly, Angela Johnson, rays Ali Sadik, Josh Johnson, Eliza Slessinger, and Daniel Tosh. That’s a pretty good lineup. And when I saw Sasha’s name, I’m like, have I even mentioned Tosh once?
In twenty twenty five. Where’s he been? Maybe he took a year off, but I don’t recall talking about him, you know, maybe once or twice, but not a lot. Where’s Daniel Toshpin met him once? Not the most warm and fuzzy guy.
I’ll put it there. Mike Harrington is the Wheeler Opera House executive director, and he says, this is just the first announcement of programming for the twenty six festival. In January, we’ll be announcing more performers. Very interesting, Okay, nice job by Nashville comedian John Christ. They stopped by the Academy Sports Store and they purchased nearly every bike in the store.
They loaded them up and brought them over to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Why for the Last Minute Toy Store, which is hosted by the Sheriff’s office. Chris said, We’ve been so blessed by this community and the people of Nashville. I wonder what we could do to make sure every kid in Nashville has the opportunity to get a bike. So we loaded up the trucks and we came down here to the Academy Sports Place and we said, give us all your bikes, as many bikes as you’ve got. The Last Minute Toy Store is open today and tomorrow from ten to four.
You can find out more about those folks at Last Minute Toy Store dot com. And that is your comedy news for today. I just bounced to Jimmy Carr story because I’m like, I gotta save some stuff tomorrow in this program. I don’t know, do you. I’m hoping there’s some news that I could do, otherwise I’ll dust off.
I’ve got a couple of lists that I haven’t gotten to, so I’m not really sure what’s happening tomorrow. Perhaps a leftover Jimmy Corr story, who knows. I mean, we’re within a week of Christmas. I’m surprised that the news has been this strong, but as always, I will have episodes Saturday and Sunday. I’ve got a Zinnamon article that I’ve been sitting on to get to, So come back tomorrow and find out what I handed in as the homework.
See you then,
