The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. A lot of quick hits today, and you can never go wrong with talking about Dave Chappelle. Dave will do another round of Cornfield to Comedy shows July sixth through the eighth in Yellow Springs. Tickets already on sale, probably sold out by the time you’re hearing this.
The shows were approved by the Miami Township Board of Zoning Appeals in early May. The permit application detailed that shows would be limited to one thousand ticket holders and would take place between June first and October eighth. We’ll see if he had some more shows, and we’ll see who else shows up. In the past, some celebrity guests included Chris Rock and David Letterman. John Stewart show up once, so yeah, we’ll see who shows up there.
Kevin Hart spoke to brandt dot Com. They ask Kevin, hey, you work with a lot of brands. Brands today are scared to death of the controversy of comedy when you hit the edges now with the current world we’re living in, does it affect the way you do comedy now? Kevin Hart said, we have to be aware of the times, because do not respect the times and not respect change is just ignorant. I mean times change because it’s necessary and it’s needed.
So the climate and temperature today is well deserved and we need to welcome it, just accordingly, be respectful. I’m a universal effing comedian. I’ve traveled the world telling jokes. There’s not a country or state that I haven’t been to to do comedy. Is that true, Kevin Hart?
Can you show me some clips from your appearance in I Won’t even go to North Korea? Show me when you’d played Moscow? All right, Kevin said, I want to make that very clear. I’ve made people laugh by being myself. I don’t force a narrative.
I don’t create a persona. No, Okay. What brands need the most is relatability. Without relatability, without humor, you have no product. The smartest people in the world listen.
The dumbest people in the world talk a lot. George Lopez apparently working on a Christmas comedy movie being filmed in Wrong Jackson, Mississippi. Where else would you film a Christmas comedy movie starring George Lopez. They’re filming down at bell Haven University. It is called How the Gringo Stole Christmas.
Emily Wilson is a producer and says, George Lopez plays a proud Mexican amer and gardner with a landscaping business, and his daughter brings home kind of a hippie white dude, and hilarity ensues. Lopez talked about filming in Jackson, Mississippi. Nothing really kind of gets done in Hollywood anymore, So to come here double your money because of the tax incentives. I think it’s good for the economy here, and it’s good for people like me who you know, really wouldn’t get to see the beauty of Jackson, Mississippi. Matt Rife made a hilarious comparison between himself and the viral meme kid who took over social media a few years ago.
Fans of Matt Rife have been sharing a picture of him side by side with meme Kid, highlighting their resemblance. Rife points out he’s not actually the meme Kid. The Kings of Late Night are touring. They’re playing Pittsburgh on September first. I’m not sure if this is part of a bigger tour or a one off.
They’re playing the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh Friday, September. First, who are the Kings of Late Night? Well, I will tell you Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, and Craig Ferguson. Those are three really solid comedians. It’s a weird bill.
And what order do you put them in? Jay Leno or Senio Hall, Craig Ferguson. So you have to deal with both ego and flow. Here’s my take. So jay Leno has got to be the headliner there, So I’m guessing Arsenio comes out and does short bursts, Craig comes out and does a middle, longer chunk, and then jay Leno closes.
That’s how I do it. But Jay Leno or Senio, Craig Ferguson, what order would you put them in? The National Comedy Center in Jamestown is open to a new exhibit honoring the recently closed New York City comedy club Carolines on Broadway. The exhibit features artifacts from the club, featuring the state backdrop, showroom curtains and signage, entry doors, and bar fly stools. Hey, I love Carolines.
They were always good to me. Did some business with them back at Series sex Am. I mean I was never there and be like, wow, look at that stage backdrop, or these stools are awesome. So you know, if you’re going to the Comedy Center anyway, you can check it out. I’m not sure I would make that seven hour drive from New York City to see bar stools used to me on Broadway.
Jay Farroh has announced he’s taping a new special, this one in Chicago’s ware Park neighborhood at the Heath Main Stage. He’ll record two performances Saturday, August twenty sixth. No word on what the distribution. There will be moamare as a new podcast called Joking Not Joking. He and his co host are joined by guests like Rami Yusef, and they asked the big questions the modern world makes you forget.
Are we living in a simulation? What is money? What is life after death? They get real when it gets uncomfortable and funny when it gets serious. Fortune Feamsters spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about when she got engaged to her girlfriend Jack Smith, to try to get the hotel involved to allow staff to convertly decorate their room.
Feamster took Smith to an upmarket restaurant when they got back to the cabin, there were mounds of wilted rose pedals, seemingly arranged with a leafblower. Electric candles flickered feebly, while a roaring fire melted the chocolate off the strawberries and brought the champagne to a simmer. Fortune was like, this didn’t work out. Just threw open her arms and said you want to She got a yes. She laughed, said I paid all this money for an ocean view, but there was so much fogg and rain you couldn’t even see in front of your hand.
It was like throwing money into a fire pit. But luckily Jackson did say yes. May Martin spoke to the l eight times. May is used to being modified, they say, and that’s evolved as I have evolved. Your career started at age thirteen, and they say it was teenage comedian, female comedian, lesbian comedian, bisexual comedian and now non binary comedian.
Rob Schneider in the news he had that special on Fox Nation. Well now he is backing Robert F. Kennedy Junior in RFK Junior’s bid to be the Democratic nominee. I’l cahol time out Here Look Comedy and politics are going to intersect, and in this specific case, if a comedian is clearly endorsing candidate, it’s in the news. I will talk about it.
You can decide for yourself if you would like to vote for mister Kennedy or a different candidate. Time back in, Schneider appeared alongside Kennedy in a smiling photo that Schneider posted on Twitter on Sunday. He wrote, inspiring, hopeful, ragis and most importantly, like his father, compassionate. He called it an honor to support Kennedy. You may want to check out RFK Junior’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which got a lot of attention.
Just for last Montreal is just under a month away. I have had to make the decision that I can’t go this year for personal reasons, and I got to be in nine places at once, and I just I can’t do it, and it’s killing me. I still might change my mind about it and go as a civilian, but I turned it down credentials this year. It’s killing me. Here are some of the panels July twenty seventh, the cast of Killing It.
That is a show on Peacock, which is why you’re probably like, what’s killing it? That panel features Craig Robinson, you know Craig from the Office. Another panel on Wednesday, the twenty sixth, this one about This Fool. That show was on Hulu and stars Chris Astrad and Frankie Kenyonius. He probably came along that when I sampled it a little bit and just wasn’t grabbed me told you about this one.
I think over the weekend, the new sketch troupe the Desserts, they’re getting a panel. This is the one executive produced by Bruce mcclough from Kids in the Hall and New Topic Bad News. If you like Jury Duty, you’re not getting not actual journey duty. Nobody likes that the TV show Jury Duty. Did you watch it?
Pretty funny? It’s on free v which go on your Amazon Prime thing and they’ll put it in front of you. Definitely worth watching, but no season two. The co creator says, I think we have to put that to bed. We kind of caught lightning at a bottle and I don’t know how we could ever top it, So I think we just have to do something else entirely.
But as far as Jury Duty is an institution, I don’t think we can. And that is your comedy news for today.
