Caloroga Shark Media outbit Outlaugh Outlast. This is Comedy Survivor. Welcome to episode one of Comedy Survivor. I’m Johnny Mack. You’ve seen the logo, you’ve heard the promos.
Now it is time to vote. Here’s how this works. There are sixteen comedians on Comedy Island. This week, one gets voted off by you. A reminder, this is not about who’s the funniest, It’s about who survives the vote.
How the voting works. You vote for one comedian that you want to eliminate. That’s it. You write their name down. If you want to say why you’re voting them off, that’s fine.
You’re voting someone off the island. One vote per person. Voting will run every week from Monday through Thursday. That way I can produce these episodes on Friday. Then every Monday at noon Eastern you’ll get a new episode of Comedy Survivor telling you who was voted off the island and who remains.
And then we’ll do this again and we’ll find out who is the Comedy Survivor. If there is a tie, I will use chat GPT to break the tie or reminder the contestants on Comedy Survivor are Adam Sandler, Jay Leno, Joe Coy, Jim Gaffigan, Mickey Glazer, Seth Myers, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, John Mulaney, Osco at Coska, Sebastian Maniscalco, Tignets, Harrow, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, Ron White, and Bert Kreischer. It is now time to vote. You go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group and you write down a name. Now, remember we’re not debating who’s the funniest.
We’re trying to figure out who people feel strongly enough to protect them and make them the Comedy Survivor. I worked with chi chat chpt to analyze everyone’s game. Let’s take a look. Adam Sandler enters with goodwill, multi generation appeal, cultural nostalgia, a reputation for loyalty. His challenge will be whether or not voters think he’s funny.
Next up, Jay Leno. Leno’s case is longevity and discipline. His risk some people think he’s the worst person who ever lived. We’ll see how long Jay Leno lasts on Comedy Island. Joe Cooy one time, he hosted the Golden Globes but I don’t have time for that right now.
Will the Swifties jump in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group and vote off Joe Cooy because he one time he told that horrible mean joke. We will find out Jim Gaffigan. Jim could go deep yere one of the safest early contestants according to AI, clean, prolific and widely respected. Almost no one actively dislikes him. I like how chat gpt wrote almost no one h who do you mean?
Could be a major advantage for Jim Gaffkin in the early rounds. Nicky Glazer, she’s hosting the Golden Globes pretty soon, so she’ll probably go a few weeks here. I don’t think she has any chance of being voted off unless somehow the Golden Globes go sideways, which it’s been known to do. Seth Myers is on the Island, respected by many, apparently has a show at twelve thirty. Will President Trump jump in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group and vote Seth Myers off?
I mean, that would not be the most shocking thing the President has ever done, so it’s possible. Kevin Hart likes to work. His risk is backlash. Will people be like enough with Kevin Hart already? We’ll find out Amy Schumer.
She likes us to talk about her. We should keep her on the island. We could talk about her for four months here. Or are people looking for Amy Schumer to go away? Or some people like Amy stay the hell off the internet?
There are people like that. Maybe they want Amy Schumer out of this. John Mulaney who doesn’t love John Mulaney? Could he take this whole thing? Hmm, OT’s go at ktska.
Now. I don’t think anyone’s gonna go out of their way to vote dots go off this week, right. I think she’s going to go deep and just kind of hang around until we get to the nitty gritty and there’s like three or four names left and we’re like, hey, she’s still here. Sebastian manascalgo the Ai wrote, some voters see performance over writing. Will people like the performance or will people like the writing?
Time will tell? Tig Nasaro. Her risk is niche a peel quiet. Comedians sometimes struggle in popularity votes despite admiration, Soara Silverman. Her strength is longevity and influence across eras of comedy.
Her danger is that She’s been part of multiple cycles, and not all voters state with her through each comedy cycle. Hmm, good analysis there, AI. Leslie Jones brings visibility, energy, and cultural presence. Her vulnerability, says the AI, is that her recent identity is more ensemble and acting based than stand up focus. Ron White.
Ron’s advantage is consistency in a very loyal fan base. His risk is the demo what if you guys are younger? I think Ron White’s going to go deep in this thing and Bert Krascher his fans are loud and active. His risk is backlash from voters. Voting is open in the Daily Comedy News podcast group, one vote per person.
Why don’t you go vote. I’m gonna take a break here and I’m going to tell you the AI’s Week one analytics who they think is likely to be voted off and why very interesting be right back Comedy Survivor. The AI said their analysis is based on how the Facebook group actually behaves, So this is on you, guys. They say the group tends to be emotional and fast, and that overexposure and unfamiliarity are punished early. So here’s who the AI thinks is the highest risk.
This week. Again, I’m not sure I agree here, because you have to actively vote someone off, so you’re gonna have to go to a Facebook group and be like I want this person off, So that takes some effort there. Now, the AI thinks otsco at Cotska might go. They say, from an analytics standpoint, this is the most vulnerable position. But see, I disagree.
I don’t think anyone’s gonna write her name down. I think she’s gonna be here twelve weeks from now. Leslie Jones, I could see people voting Leslie Jones off, just going, Oh, this sounds like fun. I’m gonna jump in. Let’s say, out of these sixteen Leslie Jones, eh, yeah, who cares?
And Amy Schumer, I could see people getting rid of Amy Schumer. Amy tends to be polarizing. I’m going to observe that the AI, not John. The AI picked three women. Don’t know what that means, but that’s what the AI said.
They have for medium risk, Bert Kraser, Joe Coy and Seth Myers. For Seth, they write not disliked but not protected instinctively could be collateral if the vote spreads out. AI puts in the lower risk tier that these people are very unlikely to get voted out this week Sandler, Gaffig and Mulaney, Sebastian, Ron White, Leno, Sarah Tig, Kevin, and Nicky. I think that makes sense. I don’t think it’ll be any of those the AI says most likely to go this week ots go at Cotska, which I totally disagree with.
It won’t be her. I won’t tell you who I think it will because I don’t want to put my thumb on the scale, But it won’t be her. Campaigning is allowed, Arguing is expected, Explaining your vote is optional, and remember not voting doesn’t help your candidate, because we’re voting people off. And that is Week one of Comedy Survivor. Heads to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group looking forward to this and we’ll be back in the morning with a normal episode.
