The Shark Deck. Hello, I’m Johnny magg with a very busy Daily Comedy News. John Mulaney’s the guest on the Newest Conan O’Brien needs a friend. During the discussion, they started talking about how films are financed. John Mulaney admitted that movie financing is all he thinks about.
He said, you ever watch a movie and you notice there’s no extras. They didn’t have a dime, and you’re like, that’s Vancouver and there’s no extras. Conan jumped in and said they worked for Tim Morton’s Coffee and a pancake and there’s no extras. I had missed this one. A couple of weeks back, John Millaney has been working out new material.
He was out at Largo, apparently at the ten PM show a few tuesdays back. Mullaney made some references to his girlfriend Olivia, and spent a good portion of his set talking about the joys of fatherhood. He also teld a story about being sued by Comedy Central for one million dollars after failing to produce a third comedy special for the outlet. He had signed a three special deal for a mere five thousand dollars, and Millaney said, I don’t even think they paid me the whole amount. Tim Dillon is the guest on Joe Rogan.
That might be two episodes ago. By now, I have started listening to that. As you’ve heard me say before, Tim Dillon is fantastic. Someday, Tim Dillan’s gonna step on a landmine and I’m going to distance myself from Tim Dylan so fast it’s unbelievable. I will be saying Tim Dylan, he’s terrible, But until then, he’s quite funny.
He’s on Joe Rogan. Dave Chappelle sold out some shows last week in nineteen seconds. This from six fourteen now dot com. Bo Stinger owns the Old Town to East Club and said, I put the ticket linkin, pushed refresh, and all tickets were sold out in nineteen seconds. I don’t know how that’s even possible, or people just on that website going, you know, if Dave Chappelle ever plays here, I’m gonna, oh my god, click.
I don’t know. Maybe they announced like tickets will go out sailing, and I don’t know how that worked. Nineteen seconds is impressive. Stanger felt incredibly honored the Chappelle, one of his comedy heroes, was playing to the club. He said, he knew my name before even sold them.
Mister Chappelle said, thank you so much for this opportunity. He sells out Rita’s across the world, yet he’s here thanking me. You get really scared when you meet your heroes. But he was absolutely wonderful. Stanger was asked about various Chappelle controversies and said, at the end of the day, I have all the adoration for Chapelle.
Comedy can be uplifting to the soul. He’s a phenomenon. There’s a reason why there’s certain stances against Chappelle’s jokes and things that he’s spoken about, but the whole point if comedy is to turn tragedy into comedy. Any scrutiny or any sort of hatred towards Dave is completely misplaced. Chappelle operates on a sense of love, peace, graciousness.
It’s remarkable to see what he’s accomplished and be as reasonable as a human being can be. Variety reports that Andy Kaufman will be honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This will happen August twenty fourth, Andy Kaufman, I know you’re listening. Look, man, this whole hoax that you’re dead. You had a good run, you got almost fifty years out of it.
Show up at your star. That would just be like drop the mic. Oh my god, greatest hoax of all time because at some point you have to cash in because what if you actually die? So I think it is time. Looking forward to seeing Andy Kaufman appear at his own star in the Hollywood walk Off on August twenty fourth.
Netflix must really like this, Joe Koy fellow. He has signed a deal for two more stand up comedy specials. It’ll be a fifth and sixth for Netflix. So these must do really well. Joekoy sells out arenas.
The next one will tape at the King’s Theater in Brooklyn on November tenth and eleventh. Interesting arena there and should show up in twenty twenty four. Joe was currently on his Joecoy World Tour. Kevin Hart never afraid to have a gig. He’s got a new commercial.
He co stars with former NFL player Ryan Fitzpatrick. This is for online betting website. Online betting website tells us leveraging Heart’s brand of comedic belligerents and turning Fitzpatrick’s last name and if fitz Magic. The commercial both entertains audiences and it informs them about betting websites new promo offer. Jimmy Fallon showed up at the Jonas Brothers concert on Sunday and Fallon did a cover of Mister Brightside.
Let’s listen. You don’t Falon can sing. We’ve seen him do a lot of good clips on the Tonight Show. I’m not sure that was Jimmy’s best work. Zach Williams, son of Robin Williams, marked the ninth anniversary of Robin’s death with an Instagram message, Zach boasted Dad on the ninth anniversary.
If you’re passing, I’m remembering you for your most excellent fashion choices. These days are always hard, and I love remembering you for being so very very you. Love you so much. He captioned a photo of Robin Williams wearing a pair of shorts and a T shirt as he waved a racket at fans from a tennis court. Solar opposites his back that showed up on Hulu last night with the new Voice Collider said, it’s incredibly hard to talk about the new season of Solar Opposites without addressing the massive elephant in the room, which was the firing of co creator and Corvo’s voice actor Justin Royland.
I spent a lot of the weekend rewatching Rick and Morty, Collider reminds us. Instead of bringing in a sound alike, the de creative team behind Solar Opposites decided to go a different route. Dan Stevens is now the voice of Corvo and has like a British accent thing going The set up here minor spoilers, you’ll get over it. After Corvo was accidentally stabbed in the throat by a dart throne by Terry, Yemulac zaps Corvo with a voice restoration ray, which gives him his new, confident British accent. From there on out, the series acts as if nothing has changed for the new season.
It picks up after the season three finale. The Solar Opposites are trying to live a more human life. Terry and Corvo networking office job, Jesse’s hanging out with the school’s mean girls, and Yemulac like spending time smoking cigars with the Staff and the Teacher’s Lounge. Kill rock Stars has relaunched their comedy label with the release of Pap Johnson’s Timeless. Pap Johnson is an East Bay native who started out his comedy career winning Sony’s death at a funeral stand up competition.
It was the first time he had ever attempted stand up. Pap shares his uniquely hilarious perspective on life, death, the social grace’s morning, sex, relationships, political figures, pop culture, and more. He’s also willing to look in the bear and poke fun at his own insecurities. You can stream the album at POCP dot co slash Timeless so or you can watch the special on YouTube. Shorthold did not enjoy a show at Fringe.
They gave Bishops only two and a half stars. They write Chris Current and Noah Matthews check their privilege at the start of their debut show as Bishops, raising and attempting to quickly dispel questions of whether the Fringe needs another privately educated white boy sketched double act. The answer, of course, is known, but groups like cry Babies keep making formidable cases for themselves. Bishops currently fits the vibe to its sea, but they have a fair bit of work to do right shortal yikes. The sketches here do just enough to scrape by and provide a reasonable hour of entertainment for the young crowd.
But any fan with a couple of fridges under their belt, we’ll quickly start finding for the X that heavily inspire this show. Both performers are good at least they’re clearing the bar for sketch acting, but formula starts to emerge pretty early. Yikes. The Daily Mail says Netflix viewers hail masterpiece new comedy. All right, got our attention here.
The masterpiece new comedy is Australia’s answer to the Office. What’s this? You’ve seen it and it’s probably scrolled past on your Netflix. It’s Fisk Storry Kitty Flanagan, which describes itself as not another glamorous legal show. One social media user says Kitty Flannagan has created a masterpiece on par with Ricky Jervis is the Office.
Fisk is a fast paced sitcom about high end contracts lawyer Helen Tudor Fisk forced to take a job at a low grade suburban law firm after filled marriage and professional downfaller and I will check that out. You know what I accidentally stumbled into over the weekend? No, you don’t. How would you possibly know what I stumbled into over the weekend? What a weird setup, Johnny mac so.
I was on Hulu and I typed in su n n y. I was looking for a show about some people who want to born in Philadelphia and it put that up. But the second thing it showed me after I typed in sunny The Office parentheses Hindi version. Yeah, there’s two seasons of twelve episodes each two times twelve equals twenty four of the Office Hindi version. So what did I do?
I watched The Office Hindi version episode one, pretty much a remake of the Diversity Day episode, which, by the way, two points one Diversity Day is the best episode of the Office two. Apparently I haven’t confirmed this, they’ve taken Diversity Day out of the syndication. I don’t know if it’s still on the streamers, but if you watch The Office on you know, your local channel there, apparently they don’t show that episode anymore because somebody is going to be offended about something. Guys, that’s the entire point of the episode. That’s the episode that made the series.
Why are you not showing it? Nobody’s offended, everyone’s laughing anyway. The Hindi version of the Office remakes that episode. You do have to turn the captions on unless you speak Hindy. If you don’t, you’ll be like me and probably would be like, I don’t understand a word they’re saying.
I don’t speak Kindy. So I turned the captions on and had a good time. That Jim guy’s good, the Dwight guy’s good, That Michael Scott guy is good. It’s the American version more than it is the British version, at least after one episode. I’m going to go back to that.
So you’ll find the Office Hindi version on Hulu. It was Steve Martin’s birthday and the Hollywood reporter gave him a nice fluff job. A lot of people came out and said glowing things about Steve Morton. Lauren Michael said, talent is amazing and stunning when you first encounter it, but it has to get better and have a standard that it lives by. You don’t worry when Steve’s on something, He’s not going to be happy.
Until he cracks it, and even then he’s not going to trust it. Tina fades all the story. One time Steve Martin was visiting SNL and I’d seen him do Letterman the night before, and I said, you were so funny on Letterman last night. Steve Morton. Matter of fact, he says, well, you have to kill every time.
Tina says it was chilling to me, but it’s true. Comedy people can’t go on talk shows and blod are like actors. We’re supposed to deliver. Steve always delivers. Amy Schumer talked about Steve Morton’s book Born Standing Up.
Amy says, I don’t know a comic who hasn’t read that book. He’s in the comedy DNA of me and everyone I know. Holly Reporter says the decade since may have compressed his career arc down to a few cash phrases and indelible images for the general public, but Steve Morton’s iconoclastic sets forever minted Martin as a god to the comedy community. He shunned traditional jokes launched at as satirical rants, and, in one move that seems unfathomable mid today’s pressing safety concerns frequently encouraged large crowds to follow him to outside venues. Andy Kaufman did that well, but I guess maybe Steve did that first.
To be fair, Steve said, and I took the audience across the street to a jazz bar. All three hundred people came in and we went to someone else’s jazz guitar show. When the audience has got to be like a thousand, I couldn’t do it anymore. It was dangerous and they couldn’t hear me. If you need something to do tonight, John Novi Sad’s new special is on the eight hundred pound Guerrilla YouTube channel that is called Jokes.
