Caloroga Shark Media be on the lookout for fake Shane Gillis. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News out of Watertown, New York. The police are saying that a man named Ian was driving on Clinton Street when Ian had an exchange with a man on a scooter. Please say. Ian shouted at the man and called him fat.

The man responded by making an obscene gesture. Ian allegedly pointed a pistol at the man and said do we have a problem and drove off, while the scooter operator called police and described the corps and the driver. He told dispatchers that the suspect looked like Shane Gillis. Apparently that description was enough, police found Ian. The pistol turned out to be a BB gun.

Shane Gillis was not involved. John Mulaney’s PR People getting it done from Deadline exclusive last fall, John Mulaney called his shot he’d become the first comedian a headline Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, blah blah blah, and now he’s become the first to sell out the forty thousand plus seed Ballpark. Here’s where the PR people really got it done. Listen to the company they’re putting. Mullany and Mulaney, a proud Chicago native, joins a shortlist of the world’s most prominent artists who have made the stage their own, which includes the likes of Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and Pearl jam Melanie will be at Wrigley Saturday, July eleventh.

In his statement, Mullaney told Deadline, I’m honored to stand on the same field where I saw Mark Grace rip cigarettes during games and yell all my jokes. That sound you here is all the cool being sucked out of Nikki Glaser. There’s no cool left. NICKI wanted to be famous, is famous, and now it’s the cash in. Nikki Glaser is joining the cast of Steps.

Nikki Glaser will play Priscilla, a villainous schemer who will stop at nothing to control everyone around her. Hmm, that’s it. I’m just saying. This is a reimagining of Cinderella. Bette Midler plays the fairy godmother in this thing.

Nikki Glaser, in the announcement, said it was a cathartic joy to voice the character of Priscilla, the jealous, try hard, want to be princess. Let’s just stop there. I’m not even gonna con Let’s just stop there. Okay, you’re thinking it. I didn’t say anything.

I just told you what. Nikki Glaser said. She’s playing Priscilla, the jealous, tryhard, want to be princess who’s fueled by deep seated insecurities of unlovability and inadequacy. Let’s just take another break and you know, take the podcast in today. We’ll go slow today.

Want me to read the whole quote again. Nicki said, the role wasn’t quite a stretch for me because those are all the characteristics that I do not at all relate to as a woman who has spent two decades clowing my way through show business. Here’s the synopsis. Think you know Cinderella’s evil stepsisters think again. Sick of living in Cinderella’s shadow, Lilith played by Ali Wong, steals the fairy Godmother’s magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margo, breaking the Cinderella stories we know it and dooming the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla, played by Nikki Glaser, a villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne.

Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella to fight biker trolls, outrun evil Henchman, and escape the Screaming Woods on an epic quest to save the kingdom, but most importantly their relationship. I would say, let’s send this straight to the streamers, but this is from Netflix’s animation studios. That reminds me today’s garbage day. I gotta put the garbage out. Could we get Austin Powers four?

Mike Myers was on Trevor Noah’s World Cup watch party. Trevor asked if we will see Austin Powers four. Myers replied yes, that was it. No more information. Myers has been mentioning Austin Powers for since twenty eighteen, when he told Entertainment Tonight he wanted to make the movie from Doctor Evil’s perspective.

Myers at the time said, so it would be Doctor Evil one Austin Powers four. Mike Myers is also appearing as Doctor Evil in a commercial these days now. I was curious about this Trevor Noah’s World Cup WI party because I remember I had told you about it months ago, and I actually looked up last week when the World Cup started, Hey is he even doing this? And there’s no press on it. There’s still not any press on it other than this Austin Powers thing.

So I actually went on YouTube. Apparently it’s Trevor Noah and people sitting around couches and they’re watching the game. You don’t see the game or hear the game, but it’s kind of like you’re in Trevor Noah’s living room. I guess, so, I guess you put it on while watching the game. If that’s the thing you want to do, go nuts.

James Corden is hosting a show after Soccer on Fox. It has a different title, but I’m not going to use it. Late Night Er writes, James Gordon’s return to late night did not exactly arrive with World Cup sized ratings, but it wasn’t a face plan either. Late Night it tells us. According to Nielsen Live plus same day data, Thursday’s premiere of FIFA World Cup on Fox After Hours with James Cordon aka Show on After Soccer averaged four hundred and eighteen thousand total viewers and one hundred and ten thousand adults eighteen to forty nine.

Boy Just Run Byron ellen Man you think CBS is dumb, maybe they’re not. Late Nighter compared Midnight to one a m ABC’s hours split between Kimmel and Nightline, NBC split between Fallon and the inexplicable Late Night with Seth Myers, and CBS between Byron Allen Garbage. Late Nighter says on that basis, Fox trailed ABC, who had one point five sixty four million viewers, NBC nine hundred and thirty thousand, and Byron Allen Garbage five hundred and thirty three thousand. However, in the eighteen to forty nine demo show after Soccer, one hundred and ten thousand adults, CBS said sixty four thousand, NBC one hundred and nineteen thousand. ABC led the hour three hundred and twenty thousand adults eighteen to forty nine.

Mark Maren spoke to gold Derby. Maren said people got very used to hearing me talking to them directly. Twice a week. I’m getting dms on social media, with some of them saying ope you’re enjoying retirement. I’m not retired and just having a life allow me to have a life.

I’m situated in my life in a way I haven’t been able to in a long time, which means I have a lot more time to worry about stuff and wonder if I’m doing enough. But I’m trying to ease up on that. I don’t need to be operating in that space all the time. But I’m doing a lot of comedy work and trying to put together movie that I wanted to director early next year, which is coming along. But I also have time to try and do stuff around the house, spend time with friends, go do things.

There’s a lot of stuff I didn’t used to do because I was so consumed by work, but I do still fun work to do. Does Mark Maron miss the direct connection to his audience, Yeah, sometimes thinks what would happen? I’d be talking about the podcast to stream a conscious away and I’d think, oh, maybe I should work that into a bit. So I’ve lost that outlet, a kind of improvisation in terms of developing material. There’s also discipline to do in the show twice a week, and I would send out a weekly update and forced myself to play music at the end of each episode.

Lately, I found I’ve had to put myself in a position where I make sure the I’m doing all that stuff creatively. But the other side is what I want to do to stand up now, especially in longer sets, is there’s an urgency to it there wasn’t there before, and I like the audience doesn’t know everything already because of the podcast. Currently, Eric Andre had a tough night on WWE RAW. We’re told Andre was ringside during a Bloodline segment featuring Roman Reens and Jacob Fattu. Apparently Roman Rains formerly welcomed Fatu into the Bloodline.

As the group made their way back up the ramp, eric Andre reached out and touched Fatu’s ceremonial something. Fatu reacted, pulling Eric Andre over the barricade and into the ring. Oh no, Luckily, Roman Rains climbed into the ring and called him off. But then after a pause, Roman Rains changed his mind and allowed Fatuo to continue. Fatsu then hit Eric Andre with a splash from the top rope.

We’ll let you know if Eric Andre is okay. Yesterday in New York City there was a New York Knicks parade for kids outside the Children’s Museum of Manhattan. You know who hosted it, Amy Schumer. Why, I don’t know we’re told she is a kid champion. Amy Schumer was joined by Jessica Seinfeld.

Meanwhile, the real parade is today, the Ticker Tay Parade in New York City. This morning, Jimmy Fallon had some thoughts. Everyone’s getting ready for the big victory parade this Thursday for the world champion New York. It could be the largest parade in New York City history, with over one million people expected to attend. And it’s New York, so they’re all roommates.

We’ll get this. The city is distributing two five hundred pounds of shredded paper to office buildings along the route for workers to toss out their windows right now. The santation departments like, why do we even bother cleaning up from Saturday? This is a design. It’s a big deal.

I even had a Zoom meeting scheduled and I canceled it because I want to watch the parade. I missed a good Jimmy Fallon joke the other night when he had the Nixon He said, of course it’s the Knicks, so they won’t really show up until the second half. Are you paying attention to what’s going on in DC with the reflecting pool. It’s a little green. Jimmy Kimmel said he wanted a painted American flag blue.

Not even a week later, it’s already completely green. It’s a Mexican flag green. Experts are saying that when Trump had it paid it dark blue, he made the problem worse because the darker color retains more heat, and analogy thrives in warmer water. You know, he’d promise he’d trained the swamp. Instead he spent fourteen million of our dollars building a new one.
