Caloroga Shark Media. Hidy Ho, I’m shunning back with your Daily Comedy News. You guys know I love a good fight. This from Ghana Webb. You’re home for comedy news.
Nigerian comedian parent Mouth has alleged that comedian Funny Face has breached a contract between them by failing to perform at his event after receiving payment. I love that their names are a parrot Mouth and funny Face. According to Parrotmouth, funny Face was booked to perform at a show in Nigerian was paid half his performance fee before the event, but then funny Face demanded full payment before we would perform. Parentmouth said Funny Face failed to show up at the event and hasn’t reached out to refund the earlier half payment. He also said funny Face hasn’t returned any calls we paid half the money.
We had to call him more than fifty times. He didn’t pick up the call. I didn’t even call him for a refund or write to him for anything because I believe that whatever you do, we’ll catch up with you. Uh oh arch Barker. Remember he asked a breastfeeding woman and the baby to leave his show the other day, Orge Parker says, I have nothing against babies.
Number one, the breastfeeding thing non issue. It should be an admissible and I hadn’t no id issues breastfeeding or not. Because I was on a lit stage. All I could see was a woman, likely holding a baby. The breastfeeding was never part of it.
If it were the father, I would have acted the exact same way. It had nothing to do with the baby. Making noise was purely an audio issue, had nothing to do with her being a mom. I have nothing against moms. Forbes asked Neil Brennan.
Hey, Neil Brennan, you asked AI to generate some opening lines for you new special. What are your hopes, dreams and fears about AI and comedy. I’d like to be able to load all my material into an AI and of things generated passively for me so I can use them, But I don’t think you’ll be able to replicate it completely. Human beings like human beings. I’m hoping it’ll be incredible for medicine, science, automation, But in terms of AI as a comedian, you’re gonna root for the person.
I don’t think you would have seen anyhow or made for me in conjunction with a robot. Well, I took that challenge. I threw some Neil Brennan into the AI, and here’s what it came up with. Again, Neil Brennan would tell it better and write it better, but AI. Neil Brennan, as translated by Johnny Mack is you know you’re getting old when your biggest life goal is keeping up with your cops.
Meanwhile, kids, these days are all about crypto and TikTok fame. I’m just trying to avoid needing a hip replacement before the next Marvel movie comes out. I’m not sure that sounds like Neil Brennan. It sounds like really really poor Man’s Bill Burr to me. You know, if the Tuesday Night Middler at the Chuckle Hut did that joke.
It’s not the worst joke. I mean, by itself, it’s pretty bad, but in the middle of a set, you know it would work. One of those like you know, loud guys. Here’s another one in the same style. I don’t think it sounds like Neil Brennan.
You know. I finally read the self help book everybody’s raving about. Turns out the key to happiness is being yourself great, So I’m doing it wrong this all time. Next one a little hack, but again Tuesday Middler at the chuckle Hut, and I say laughter is the best medicine. Clearly those people have never tried xanax.
Nothing suites the dread like pharmaceutical grade mood all duration. And this next one also doesn’t seund like Neil Brennan, it sounds I’m more head burgee In or Dmitri Martin. It’s actually a pretty good joke. I used to think I was indecisive, but now I’m not so sure. That’s actually a solid joke.
I’m adding that to my joke book. When Dan Boobletz Junior forces me to open for him some night, I’m gonna whip that one out. I am not a comedian, can you tell? All? Right?
Back to Neil Brennan, and then some more fun here. So Forbes said, do you think AI can be a tool? Neil said, if it can take what I’ve made and have an AI for material for me, Yeah. I think Drake should be able to load in all his vocals, then if he likes something, he can redo it. That’s fair usage artistically, but as someone who’s written jokes for other people.
I can get into the psychology of another person. I’ve written material for Dave Chappelle. What it took for me able to do that, I don’t think it’d be easy for a computer to do. So I asked the computer to write some Dave Chappelle jokes and stay with me here. I’m doing a bit.
Don’t cancel me. So it wrote some jokes. This is ninety eight percent Dave Chappelle and two percent Johnny Mack, turning it into a Dave Chappelle style joke. Do you know where I’m going here? Don’t care?
Answer me? Okay? The AI mostly wrote you know, I’ve been thinking about this whole participation trophy thing. People always complain about how kids these days get rewarded for showing up. Let’s be real, isn’t that what we all want?
I’d love to get a trophy every time I managed to get out of bed and face another day in this crazy world. Imagine if we got participation trophies for all the mundane stuff we do. Congratulations, I’m paying your taxes on time, Greek job, or remember to change the toilet paper roll. Congratulations on being trans see and now Dave. He smokes a cigarette, he mugs for the camera and he does that thing like he’s gonna fall over, and he makes the face and he laughs at you.
That’s a Dave Chappelle joke.
Speaking of Dave Spelle jokes, now, I’m trying to illustrate here.
You know, there is a way, and hopefully I just did it to make a trans joke. That’s not a trans joke. It’s just that’s really a joke about Dave Chappelle. Another joke that I recently made in the car. I was driving through Pennsylvania on I eighty and it was a truck and the truck had its brand on the side of the truck, and he said, blank America, Blank America, and it’s on a truck.
And as I passed the truck, I just looked at my daughter and out of nowhere I go. Even the trucks are trans. Now, that’s funny. I don’t mean that in hate. It’s just funny.
It’s a truck. Don’t cancel me. I’m just having fun. In the basement. The av Club listed the twenty five best Saturday Night Live cast members of this century.
Now behind the scenes here this is actually take two of the podcast. I recorded half the podcast and I noticed the mic levels were just wrong and it wasn’t worth fixing the audio, so I just did it again. So I kind of know where this is going this time, so you’re not going to get quite the reaction I did the first time. But it is the twenty five best SNL cast members of the century. And as I sat here, I was like, Okay, who’s going to be on this?
Tina and Amy Bowen should be on it. Kate McKinnon will be pretty high.
And then I dove in and I started reading it.
So twenty five is Bowen Yang, twenty four is Fallon, who you know wasn’t that good on SNL. Twenty three is Vanessa Bayer And at that point I commented, on take one of this podcast, apparently this is just a list of twenty five people someone can name that we’re on sna because ya Vanessa Bear. Okay, I guess this isn’t exactly Belucian Acroyd, is it? Twenty two? Parnell twenty one, Bobby moynihan, I mean, come on, twenty Anna Gasteire nineteen, Seth Meyers.
Other than sitting at the desk was he that good. Jason Sidakis at eighteen eighty, Bryan at seventeen, Molly Shannon, Tracy Morgan. And here’s where I draw the line. I draw it between fifteen and fourteen, because fourteen is Cecily Strong, who I think is criminally underrated, so talented. Thirteen Darryl Hammond in ninety five to two thousand and nine, Rachel Dratch at twelve forty at eleven, Macpacker Awaars number ten.
I skipped a number ten, number ten, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg at nine. He’s in the macpack he should be much higher at Tina Fey, Keenan at seven, Maya Rudolph at six, Polar, Kate McKinnon, Kristin Wig Great Pick at three. This next one threw me because this guy was on from ninety five to two. I think of him as a nineties act, but I guess he was on this century. Will Ferrell, I mean, yeah, but I don’t know, Like I said, nineties guy number one, Bill Hater, I mean, as I look at this list, you know I could give it to Keenan just for long chevity.
I’d pull Kate Way up. I’d actually pull Bowen Yang up. I’d pull Samberg up, so starting at the top, throwing out Will Ferrell just for reasons discussed hater, Kristin Wig, Kate Pohlar My, Rudolph Keenan, Tina fe Samberg, Fred Ormissen. Yeah, probably Kristin Kate. I’d put Tina out of amy.
That’d probably be my list. Steve Carell will start opposite Tina Fey in the upcoming Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons, based on the nineteen eighty one film of the same name that one starred Alan Alden Carol Burnett. In the Four Seasons, three married couples stake vacations together each season, but things are thrown for a loop when one of the husbands leaves his wife and begins bringing a younger woman with him. Oh, let’s check in at the Sydney Comedy Festival. Yes, I actually pulled clips in advance.
Got my act together this week? Huh? Well except for the whole thing where he did half this podcast on the Michael were Atro shitdo it other than that? I have my acts together this week. Chloe Pet’s fresh from her smash he had Edinburgh Fringe and soho theater sessions.
She makes her Sydney debut. She has termed audiences with her polite take on big issues, and now she’s cashing in on those points and plans and being really rude. It’s no more mister nice Chloe. Let’s listen. I’ve always been very masculine.
I was what you would call a child geezer. You probably seen children gezers knocking her ound, Just the sort of kid that looks like they can handle themselves at a wedding, right, Cousin Brian ain’t getting tuning with the particular fingers. They got it covered right the first time. The first time I realized I was a child geezer is when I went to ballet class when I was about seven and I walked in first mistake, did think it was a contact spot. I walked in and there are all these lovely girls in there too, to sort of politely jumping up for a jetie.
I look like I was going up for a corner, just stomping around the room like I was ross kempon parents. Common to go, Sorry was her regards through the ballet class. We’re told to expect routines on wedding dance floors, the footy and calling you all a bunch of Virgins as she reinvents herself as a tougher and more brutal comedian. Supposedly, Chortle said, the show is structured controlled, keeps the laughter rolling right to the end. Metro Uk said, has the audiences and stitches for stars all right.
Next up, let’s listen to Chris Ryan. The world and everyone in it has reduced Chris Ryan and eye rolls and saying, how are we expected to take anything seriously when everything is so half arsed? What if the only thing that sparks your joys another’s misfortune? Chris Ryan show is called good. Oh, let’s listen.
I’m listening to a meditation out that tells me to do the next thing I’m going to do in my life with quality, as if the most important person in the world is watching. And look, that’s a lot of pressure. Some things are aided by imagining Ryan Gosling’s watching, not everything, and at this point I love imagining him, just going why do you keep bringing me to your weird comedy show? I didn’t want to be here? And as for what you made me watch this afternoon, I can’t unseae that Amazon MGM Studios has ordered a pilot for it.
Dinks sounds dirty, right, but no? In improvisational style multiicam comedy starring June, Diane Raphael, and Paul Sheer In Dinks, Josh and Charlie played by June and Paul, are a couple who, in absence of marriage or kids, decide to literally build a life together by renovating their nightmare of a dream house. Okay, wrestling fans, the Ultimate Champion wrestler Coldy Rhodes will make a cameo in The Naked Gun. I don’t know why we’re rebooting The Naked Gun, and if you’re going to reboot it, why you’re rebooting it with Liam Neeson as your star. He’s already seventy one.
I don’t know if you know any police officers. Many of them choose to do their twenty twenty five thirty years and retire. You don’t see too many seventy one year old cups. I get it’s a parody. I get it.
I don’t know. I like Liam Neeson, but weird casting here. This is like when Steve Martin was the Ping Panther and I wanted to throw pies at the wall. That was just what are you doing an Insider till the Daily Mail, Cody Rhadse and maybe having a huge feud with the Rock in the WWE ring right now, but it looks like the battle lookstend to Hollywood. Is he’s going to star in the new Naked Gun film?
Is it star or Cameo? I suspect it’s Cameo. And that is your comedy news for today. Now, we’re working on bringing back the subscriptions on Apple Podcasts. You can get the show commercial free.
