Caloroga Shark Media. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. So I really am trying not to turn this into a political podcast at all. The reality is all the news continues to be political. I actually deep dove today to try and find some other things.
Didn’t find much, but I did find this one from the National Enquirer, remember them. They spoke with an insider from the Seinfeld camp. The insider says Jerry turned his annoyances into a gold mine with his comedy performances and TV show, but the complaining used to be a secret weapon, and now it just gets on people’s nerves. This is one of the most successful people in the history of show business financially and artistically, but he’s almost allergic to counting his blessings. It’s not a good look for a man at retirement age with more money than he could spend in ten lifetimes.
I mentioned in the Facebook group recently Daily Comedy News podcast group. I teach a college class. None of my students had any idea who Hary Seinfeld is and weren’t familiar with the sitcom Seinfeld. Then I teached you college is that? At the other class, I told them about the first class and the second class was like, that’s insane.
They all knew Jerry was, so who knows. The insider says he’s very upset about the Israel situation and his twenty twenty four Netflix movie Unfrosted was a struggle to get made and then terribly received. I thought it was pretty good. The thing that could snap Jerry out of his rut would be a fun new project or challenge that he could really sink his teeth into, like the way his old friend Larry David is launching a new TV show with Baraka Michelle Obama’s production company. The problem is, Jerry’s not really on the hunt for anything like that right now.
As far as he’s concerned, He’s done at all, and people still don’t appreciate him enough. Interesting. Theovaughn went to see the Vanderbilt Commodorees take on the LSU Tigers. While he was there, he ran into the folks from OutKick the Show and they asked him about baseball. Theovaughn had this to say, Shia Tani, like, will we ever see another?
We’re not going to get as many shows anymore because of the tariffs to take down the tariffs and get us more slight edits there for language, all right, I tried as long as I could. Joe Rogan on his podcast said that he disagrees with President Trump’s approach to talking about his adversaries. Rogan commented when at Charlie Kirk’s memorial, the President said I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them, Rogan said, I don’t agree with any of that. He’s a nuts.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is trying really really hard to get Joe Rogan to book…
He keeps poking at Rogan on social media. Rogan said if he interviewed Newsom, he would cook himself. In response to that, Gavin Newsoen tweeted a chicken emoji alongside the words buck buck at Joe Rogan. Last week, Newsom’s press office went on social media in the President Trump all caps style and wrote, Joe Rogan is a snack sized podcaster who can’t stop talking about me. Obsessed crush, no thank you, but he’s too scared to have me on.
Brian Callen was at Camp Pendleton on Saturday. It was the celebration of the US Marine Corps. There is a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Brian Callen warmed up for Vice President J. D.
Vance. Callen praised President Trump for bringing peace to the Mideast for the first time since Moses had a parting of the ways with Pharaoh. Unfortunately, there was some news on Sunday that the peace might not be lasting. Johnny Mack is pro peace. Kat Williams got an honorary doctorate from Miles College.
President Bobby Knight said, it’s not every day that people get an honorary doctorate. It’s because of you and what you’ve done, and we just want to show you how much we appreciate you and recognize you for all the work you’ve done. Kat accepted his doctorate in Human Letters and said, in a very short period of time, no one could deserve this more than me. It was going to take a mighty fine institution to recognize that I serve a god that insists that my cup runneth over and those smiles that I sell for a living, those have Miles right in the middle of it. So you get it.
It was Miles College. Yeah, I had to go back and check. I had forgotten already too. Kat Williams is building a studio in the local area. He recently told GQ, it’s not just fair to put all that pressure on Tyler Perry.
He can only do so much. Did you watch Saturday Night Live? People on the internet were not happy about it. The episode generated several topics. Let’s start with this one, since everything is political now.
During the news, Colin Jost told a joke. The setup involved the US sending more than forty billion dollars to Argentina to help bail out their economy. Joe said, if history’s any guide, a lot of Trump officials will end up fleeing to Argentina. People in the audience didn’t seem to get the joke. In case you are not familiar, many Nazi war criminals fled to Argentina after World War Two.
The joke got barely any laughter. Joe said, hey, one clap. People on social media were not amused. One person tweeted Colin Jose needs to be fired effective immediately for his sickening comments last night. Another said Colin Jost is a sellout hack and doesn’t deserve to be married to Scarlet Johanson.
Wow, we’re not only canceling him, We’re going to get him divorced. Bowen Yang was not on the live show, although he appeared I believe in some recorded things. He was in Los Angeles to receive the Vantage Award. The show opened with a Domingo sketch. A lot of people were surprised they didn’t do something political.
Others were surprised at how unfunny the sketch was. Johnny Mack will continue to say, Marcelo Hernandez does one thing well, and he does one thing repeatedly. Then during the news Marcello showed up again and did a totally different character, the movie guy who’s not like Domingo at all. It’s a totally different character, just awful. One person on Threads, who user named three x one minus one wrote, convinced that Lauren is in the Epstein Files, and Marcelo knows, and Lorn knows he knows.
It’s the only thing that explains the weekly recurring Domingo nightmare. Sierra Cascadia wrote, if SNL were an NFL team right now, it’d be the Jets shows off for a couple weeks. Miles Taylor will host on November one. Musical guest Brandy Carlysle November eighth, Nicky Glazer is the host. Her agent’s getting it done.
She will have a Hulu special in twenty twenty six because she supports fascism. Did she not break up with them after the Jimmy Kimmel thing. You’re not supposed to do business with Hulu or Disney? Remember musical guest Somber November fifteenth, Clint Powell is your host. Olivia Dean musical guest.
I also saw some comments about James Austin Johnson’s Trump continuing to not hit the mark. I’ve been commenting that since last year it is drifting. People are pointing out that James is still doing the twenty sixteen Trump and not the current slightly older Trump that you might want to do. But what do I know. I don’t do impressions.
I do half assed impressions, and as a listener, you know how good those are. Jamarcos Arazi talked to Current Affairs dot org about crowd work and said, you never know a lot of times it goes sideways. The person’s trying to be funny and it messes up, or they lie or someone interrupts, So you’re only seeing the times that it works. Sometimes people write he never misses and I’m like, well, well, I don’t caption the misses. I don’t send those to my editor and say let’s get these up on YouTube asap.
It’s always a risk, there was some days I’m feeling riskier than others. In other days I’m like, whether the audience is too far away or it’s too dark ago, it’s not going to work. And the other times the story just falls in your lap. And even though I’ve never served, I equated to what that must feel like. You’re on a flow, you’re on a balance beam, and you’re like, I can’t believe I’m still up here.
I’m still walking, and you decide when do I need to jump off. Every once in a while, when you’re up there, you’re like, oh my god, I’ve been up here for twelve minutes. It’s cool, it’s exciting. It makes me feel alive. Some people are curious about South Park, so all of a sudden last week South Park was like, yeah, season twenty seven’s over.
This is season twenty eight, and people are like huh. Some wondered is this some way to fulfill some sort of contractual obligation? That was my guess. Others thought maybe the talent of season twenty seven was going to do more with the Charlie Kirk stuff that appeared earlier in the season, and then they were like, eh, we shouldn’t do that. But a representative for the show said season twenty seven was never meant to be ten episodes.
The showrunners planned all along for seasons twenty seven and twenty eight to be five episodes each. Comedy Central told The Hollywood Reporter. No announcement was made regarding how many episodes would be in season twenty seven. Anyway, season twenty seven is five episodes long. Then they took a three week break, and now the season twenty eight premiere.
Meanwhile, some people are upset with the Simpsons. They’ve sort of reset the timeline again, and now Homer and Marge are millennials. The season thirty two episode Do Pizza Bot stream of Electric Guitars featured a flashback of Homer as a nineteen nineties routine. The season thirty seven premiere had Lisa cashing in on nineties nostalgia by wearing the old clothes of Marche, who was a nineties kid. Show Runner Matt Sillman told Entertainment Weekly, the options are we don’t do flashback shows ever, and we don’t mention the past ever, which creatively handcuffs us.
Or we’re playful and silly, which is the DNA of the show, and we have fun with whatever generation the show’s airing in. If the show only took place in the present with a kind of vague nineteen seventies high school homer and backstory, it seems increasingly impossible. That would be much worse for telling good stories. Simpson’s scholar The Real Gyms, pointed out that the show had already been subtly changing the characters’ birth years throughout the classic era. Then in the middle run and there’s a million seasons here, so I don’t know, throw a dart and say, like season seventeen or so, the show avoided flashback episodes.
Then in two thousand and eight an episode called That Nineties Show, which had a whole new backstory for Homewer and Marge. Selman argues, part of telling stories is people are remembering things from their youth, their childhood. Everyone’s childhood is directly responsible for how they behave as an adult. You can’t ignore childhood if you’re going to be a storyteller. So We’re not ignoring childhood.
It would have been interesting as an experiment to just lock into the seventies and have them be like, well, Lisa, when I was a kid the seventies and just have it all be about the seventies, even though we live in the post apocalyptic future now. Someone says, I would also like to point out that no way we’re saying that the beloved other flashbacks didn’t happen. We’re not saying that it’s just a silly little show. Everything happened with the same level of historical veracity. I’m not worried about messi with the timeline.
I feel like story and characters should come first, and the cinematic universe rules of a show that has none should come in a distant second. Sound like it’d be a good show Inner for modern Star Trek. Gossip Connor Whispers in the Street. Gossip conn probably about Pete Gossip conn Away, the rumors meeting with Johnny Mackett’s always a tree. I’ll be singing that all day and today.
Gossip Corner is about Pete Davidson, who recently performed at the Odd Comedy Festival, and Pete Davidson’s father was killed on nine to eleven. Pete surprise is pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt with a private jet date to go see Paul McCartney in concert. On Friday. Elsie posts that on Instagram, Pete is taking me on a surprise date. Pete Davidson sat across from her on the private plane.
So if you’re like, hey, why would you play the Reo Odd Comedy Festival, because then you have money to take a private plane to go see Paul McCartney. They took the plane to Minnesota to attend Paul McCartney’s show at us Bank Stadium. Now it’d be fair to Pete Davidson. McCartney does not have any current tour daate scheduled anywhere near Staten Island. I know this because I would go see Paul McCartney and I just checked on the website.
He would said that was like a really special little bucket list moment for me. Paul is pretty much the one person I’ve always wanted to meet. Do I have the sweetest, most thoughtful boyfriend or what?
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian was on a podcast and talked about her romance with …
She recalled how her ex husband Kanye West taunted Pete during a music video in twenty twenty two. Kim said, that made me feel really sad. That really wasn’t fair for him. The NBA is back tonight. Now.
I had noticed this and I can’t forgetting to mention it, and I finally remember to put it in the notes. NBC is going to air basketball games at eleven PM. Now, why that’s interesting is because, well, you can’t play basketball in thirty five minutes, which means the Tonight show either gets preempted or delayed. And I checked the schedule this week. The Tonight Show is scheduled for one am, so they’re going to produce new episodes, which guests on the West coast will still air at eleven thirty, but on the East Coast, the Tonight Show is going to be airing at one am on Tuesdays.
I haven’t seen this reported anywhere, but that’s interesting, isn’t it? And that probably won’t be good for Jimmy’s ratings. Jimmy was in Scotland and some Scottish soldiers hosted him for a special dinner. Jimmy had been touring the grounds of Balmoral Castle. I know about that place from writing the Palace Intrigue podcast, which cross promotion.
I don’t know if you heard the whole Prince Andrew thing. It’s actually let me get the littles out of us. It’s really, really horrible. Earlier today I sent Mark Francis, who’s the host of Pallace intric I wrote the scripts and I sent it to him and I was like, dude, this is nothing but horrible and my stomach is going to turn. I don’t even want to talk about it on this show.
Just horrible, horrible, horrible. Anyway, Pallace Intrigue, where you get your shows. Jimmy Fallon was at Balmoral. One of the soldiers recognized him and invited him to the barracks. He was greeted with kilts and bagpipes by soldiers from fifth Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Jimmy signed the visitors Book. I had Victoria Barracks in the village. He then saw a small ceremonial guard of soldiers rehearsing for the King’s departure. Major Thomas Blair said what started as a chance meeting near Bellmoral turned into a brilliant evening It’s not every day you get to meet a Hollywood A lister, and we were delighted to welcome him to Scotland in true Scott’s style. That made me ponder for a second.
Is Jimmy Fallon an a lister? I guess he is. He does host the Tonight Show, but is like Seth Myers an A lister? I don’t know if Seth Myers is an A lister. Mel Hall will premiere his debut special what Are We Doing Today on the eight hundred pound Gerrilla YouTube channel.
Filmed in San Diego, Mel Hall delivers his take on the chaos of millennial parenthood and the wild ride of raising kids in a world where gen Z is judging your every move, from choosing the right words to parent with to surviving Costco on a Saturday. He finds humor in the everyday madness. Yeah. I’ve got a college age child and I regularly get canceled just for speaking the way someone my age does. I come in peace.
I get canceled all the time here in my house, No Hall said, this special represents not just where I am today, but the fifteen plus years of shows that got me here. The great outdoors Comedy Festival announced to some of the lineup for next year. Matt Rife will headline six weekends at Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Calorie, Spokane and Vancouver. Nikki Glaser will headline in Halifax.
Also on that show, Fortune Fimes, Stern, Steph Tolev more lineup reveals to c…
And that is your comedy news on a Tuesday. Hope you have an awesome day and I’ll see you here tomorrow
