He tell the story on his podcast and said, we thought it was just really cartoony and funny. Conan was worried about being compared to Letterman and you know year one there, Yeah, that was it took a minted.
Conan said, we had a meeting in this office at thirty Rock, and we’d told Rick Ludwin, who was the NBC Late Night chief. We told Rick we wanted to meet with him, and we were worried about being compared to Letterman, and we said we were thinking of changing the name Late Night. And Rick said, NBC owns that name. It’s popular franchise. We wouldn’t get rid of it unless there’s a spectacular new one.
And we said we wanted to call it ninety Night with Conan O’Brien. O’Brien said Ludwyn was a very proper executive and a wonderful guy, but he was tearing flush at the idea and said it’s going to remain Late Night. With Conan O’Brien. Conan said they weren’t under much supervision when they put the show together. If someone told me they picked a guy who was twenty nine, it was no ex experience.
And they picked a producer and Jeff Ross, who’s done some work with kids in the hall and much of his works been in music. There’s no way they’re not all over them. But we were in New York and most of the people were in La Jeff Ross said, I spent most of my time faking it and making it look like I knew what was going on until I figured it out. Screen Rants has hope for this upcoming Adam Sandler film called You Are So Not Invited to My bat Mitzvah that’s out on the twenty fifth. I’m less enthusiastic.
If you’re a long time listener, you know I openly I roll most Adam Sandler movies. I’m sure Sandler doesn’t care. He’s made a lot of money, He’s very successful, a lot of people like him. In my humble opinion, there are only a few good Adam Sandler movies. The masterpiece being Uncut Gems.
The second best one is probably Hustle and the ones with Drew Barrymore are pretty good. Other than that, Adam Sandler films are garbage and I have low expectations for you are so not invited to my bot mitzvah. But screen Rant writes, while audiences are used to seeing Sandler putting on goofy, indistinct accents and acting over the top, that you were so not invited to my botts us. He’s Adam Sandler playing an average dad. Sandler leans into a two by being sarcastic to his daughters, telling dad jokes, and simply being irritated when he’s distracted from the TV.
Here, let’s listen. Just named Julie ba would make the party perfect. You can have a ball pit that’s kids and at my period for seven weeks. That’s a long period, sweetheart. Green Rant says.
Some shots in the trailer hints at a more meditative and heartfelt performance as his daughter goes to him for relationship advice. Even more interestingly, Sandler takes a back seat in the movie, and he seems more like a supporting actor than the lead. The lead is fourteen year old Sonny Sandler. Her dad is Adam Sandler. Sonny is fourteen, so I will just move on.
Las Vegas Weekly was pulling their readers about their choice for various things that included a top gentleman’s establishment. I didn’t read that part. I read the part about best stand up show? So who did they pick? Johnny mac?
Well, they write in an era where stand up comedies booming bigger than ever before. No one’s been holding down the Vegas stay longer than Scott Thompson. You’re like, who’s Scott Thompson? I will tell you karrot Top. That’s who Scott Thompson is.

Tonight at the National Comedy Center, Lewis Black will celebrate political satirist Mark Russell with a reception and dedication. Russell’s friends and fans are invited to the event. It’s open to the public from five to seven if you happen to be near Jamestown, New York.
The dedication and brief remarks take place at six o’clock tonight. During the event, the National Comedy Center will have materials and artifacts from Russell’s career on display, and will add one of his musical parodies as a permanent component of its Lyrical Laughter Exhibit. National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson said, Mark Russell transformed the landscape of political humored America and in doing so, influenced a generation of comedic artists. His musical sat sires well for decades by those inside outside of Washington, made him comedy’s greatest lyricist. His comedy legacy is unique and incomparable Lewis Black’s at Mark Russell was an extraordinary talented satirist with a unique comic voice.
He had a rapier wit, which are words I rarely used to describe a comedian. Hopefully people will now realize how important he was in the pantheon of comedy. Marlon Yans said that films like two thousand four’s White Chicks need to be made today because social media has made people lose their enjoyment of life and comedy. Wayans was catching some grief because he made a sarcastic comment the reference the Jason Alden song. Try that in a small town.
If you’re not familiar with that song, I don’t want to get into that on this podcast, Just google Try that in a small town. You could read the editorials yourself. Marlon was on Jalen Roses podcast and said, I think social media messed up socializing and we’ve got to get back to laughing and finding reasons to laugh and stop being said, damn sensitive. All we’re doing is filling our airwaves, filling our kids with fear and hate, and there’s no laugh and love. The only thing that’s going to bring us together is humor.
What got Way in some grief was an Instagram post where he mocked the viral Alabama riverboat brawl, and he wrote, how about we not try that in a small town. Let’s all just be love, not war. Some people thought he was endorsing the song’s message, Way and said, I actually thought the song was divisive and promoted the kind of mentality that fuels racism, bigotry, and some violence. Let’s stop doing stupid songs like that which negativity towards black people. That stuff ain’t cool.
Wayne said. Most of the people on social media with these negative opinions aren’t even real people. They’re boughts from other countries. They’re trying to strip us. So the very thing that makes our country special, the freedom of speech.
We’re so stupid that we allow this to happen. Sooner or later, they’re going to take away the first amendment. We’re all gonna have to think alike. People are gonna get canceled. You can’t think like this.
What kind of society do we live in? From Billy Penn dot com, comedian Jinny Yang is trying to stop the Philadelphia seventy six years from getting a new arena. Billy Penn rights the white and red posters declaring no arena and Chinatown I fit right in amid the didly lit graffiti, arts sculptures and midi murals adorning the staircase down to the underground arts subterranean space in Kala Hill, where comedian actress Jinny Yang was preparing to perform. Between jokes about being engaged inter racial relationships and growing up as a tomboy daughter of immigrants, Yang swallowed a tasty cake in one Go Regional reference, Trust me it makes sense. She talked about how Philly is so special to her and how trips on the regional rail and a Phillies Chinatown me alive and helped her feel at home while she was away from her family in California.
Then she lit into seventy six Devcorps and it’s proposed to build a new home for the Sixers on the side of the Fashion District mall and recently vacated Greyhound bus terminal. Yank said, these billionaire a holes want to establish a sports arena right up against historic Philadelphia Chinatown. Did you know this? The crowd booed. I don’t want to be very clear who I think the villains are.
I don’t think the villains are the seventy sixers. I don’t think the villains are sports fans in Philly. What I don’t like is the fact that very rich billionaires have decided that they’re going to take advantage of the importance and the real estate that Philadelphia Chinatown is on and extract it’s profit off the back of the little guy. That’s not okay. Don’t f with Philadelphia Chinatown.
Now I’m not from Philadelphia, but what I go down to Philadelphia, one of the things I always say is I like how all the sports arenas are in the one area. If you’ve never been there, the baseball stadium, the football stadium, and the basketball slash hockey arena. They’re all in one spot, and they share parking lots, and it’s very efficient, and you can get right on and off the highway and the subway goes right there. So I’m not sure why the Sixers are moving. I also don’t know where Philadelphia Chinatown is.
Should I get out a map? I should? Right? Why not? Okay, Now I see where this is.
This is over by Franklin Square. It’s kind of by six seventy six. It’s kind of by ninety five. It’s kind of sort or near the subway. But I don’t know.
Why don’t we leave the stadiums where they are? I admit I’m very under educated in all this, but as a tourist, I don’t know. I like what the stadiums are. Later, inter comedy said Yang incorporated six Ers owner David Blitzer and Josh Harris into a top ten list titled Eat the Rich. The segment suggested what kind of food different billionaires might be.
Yang said, between the three of them, their companies have been accused by human rights organizations of taking away affordable housing. I would want to eat them on a dish of delicious stir fry kung pound billionaires. Oh, and I had other things, but that’s a good way to get out because that made me laugh. Let’s get out there and I’ll see you tomorrow. Of fall the show for free on Apple podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows.
