Callaroga, Shark Media, Matthew Valentine’s Day. Hi, I’m Jenny Mack with a very very busy Daily Comedy News. Trevor Noah and Spotify have a little thing. Remember at the Grammys, Trevor made a joke about the music industry and royalties and took a shot at Spotify, and I thought it was kind of curious that he did that. Well, Semaphore writes, six months after they did a deal, the relationship has already soured.
Noah’s team has discussed renegotiating. We’re altering his contract with Spotify, possibly having Trevor opting out of his minimum guarantee that’s the amount he’s paid to produce a certain number of podcasts. The issue Trevor wanted to bring on newsy figures as guests. Spotify prefer celebrity interviews. A spokesperson for Spotify push back against Semafore, saying we’re happy with the show.
We have no news or any changes to share. I’ve been doing this a long long time. This story wouldn’t get out there. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Something’s up and I was looking at it.
Trevor’s podcast Yesterday was down to number two forty seven overall. Let’s se where it is right now as I record on Tuesday morning. Holy cow, it is out of the top ranking on of all podcasts. Oooo. On February eleventh at one o’clock on the Apple Charts United States of America all podcasts, it was number two forty seven.
Right now at around eleven o’clock on Tuesday morning, it is not ranking at all. Now. Generally what happens is when you release a new episode, it spikes the charts a little bit. That’s part of the reason I release every day. Let’s see Trevor January twenty fifth, Forever first and five days ago, so he’s scheduled to put it on the fifteenth.
So if you look at the release cycle, we’re towards the end here. But being out of the top charts that is, it’s embarrassing. I’ll use the word embarrassing, very shocking for Trevor. Noah. Now, as I looked at it, I have been listening to some episodes but not others.
I particularly loved of the Kevin Hard episode. But last week they titled the episode Trevorn Friends Batts at the Grammys. Trevor, Ben Winston and Friends discussed the Grammys, and I just was like, Eh, I don’t know. I don’t care about the friends. I just want to hear Trevor.
John Stewart has indeed returned as host of the Daily Show. Let’s listen. My name is Jon Stuart. Now where was I. I’m excited to be back.
I’m very excited spending see you guys. Why am I back? You may be asking yourselves it’s a very reasonable question. Uh, I have committed a lot of crimes. From what I understand, talk show hosts or granted immunity, so it does doesn’t make a lot of sense, but take it up with the founders.
Later in the show, he anchored a bit that had the correspondence Ronny Chieng, DOESI Lydich, Michael Costa and d’lse Sloan reporting from a diner. Jordan Klepper did a desk bit Jordan is hosting the rest of the Week this week in John’s list of topics that they might talk about, when he said, maybe we’ll talk about China, maybe we’ll talk about AI. That apparently a shot at Apple. Those were two of the subjects that The New York Times has created friction over at the Problem. On Monday, John Stewart was on CBS Mornings and said, I very much wanted to have some kind of place to unload thoughts as we get into this election season, and I thought it was going to do it over at they call it Apple TV Plus and said they felt that they didn’t want me to say things that might get me in trouble.
I just thought, who better to comment on this election than someone who truly understands two aging men past their prime. NPR reviewed the show and saying John Stewart’s daily show, Red Turn, is so smooth, it’s like he never left Colbert had on John Oliver. Oliver is making the rounds. I don’t know what he’s promoting. I guess the new season of last Week.
Tonight, he made some cracks about Lionel Messi, which I’ll share with you because A they’re funny in B it allows me to promote our podcast, The Messy Effect. On The Messy Effect, we follow Liono Messi, but like not so much the soccer part the rest of it the showbiz anyway, Here’s John Oliver. Messi was in a commercial. Yeah, that was for non American citizens seeing Messi though is oh wow, this really wow, this is a big deal. Messi’s pretending he likes a drink for you.
Does he know how it is? And I enjoy the drinks? What was it for? I can’t remember the ultra Oh he doesn’t drink Michelot. There’s no way Lionel Messi drinks Michelope ultra.
I know we all saw him on the beach. We all saw take a swing at something. There is no way. I wish Mickey was here because I’d have him involved in this as well. Lionel Messi does not drink Michelope ultra fact.
It truly is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Adam Sandler will have a new comedy special. It’s directed by Josh Saftie, who directed Uncut Gems. No dat or details on that, but I mean a new Adam Sandler special. Can’t wait.
By the way, I wrote the script for Saturday’s upcoming episode where I only say nice things about Adam Sandler movies. I’m planning on doing that on Saturday. I wrote the script. I just have to voice it. Now.
Come fights Shannon Sharp, who his podcast has become the hotbed of comedians fighting with comedians. This is a lot of fun and this got covered by USA Today. Shannon Sharp may be looking for comedian Mike Epps. On Sunday’s episode of The Nightcap podcast, Sharp pointed to the camera and said to Epps that Apps had lied when he said Shannon Sharp reached out to him to appear on the Club Chase Shay podcast. Sharp said, now when I see you, I’m going to see if you’re really about that say my name again.
I got something for your expletive. USA Today says. During a recent stand up performance, Mike Apps joked that he’d been approached by Sharp to come on Club Schay Sheha and indicated that Sharp is gay and appeared ready to sexually assault comedian Kat Williams. During a January interview, what the quote Apps is saying? Shannon Sharp called me trying to do an interview.
No, Medea, I ain’t doing no interview. So you can sit across from me and look at my testicles when I’m sitting down. I thought he was going to attack cat. The show was called Shay Shay. The guy’s telling you put a wig on.
Tell me if that isn’t Medea’s sister, Sharp said, say a little chokes, get you a little laugh off, have fun, but just don’t lie say something when I didn’t. I’m to tell you what somebody told me one time. What his jokes to you is death to someone else. Apparently, in a now deleted post, Apps wrote, so many people talk crazy about you, but now you want to fight me. I dmd you to get on the show because you brought my name up when you were sitting there with Cat and you were trying to get him and talk crazy about me, but he didn’t.
You did look like Medea sitting there. You was looking zesty. I’m not saying you gay. You need to take those tight shirts off with the muscles. In a Twitter post on Monday, Sharp said he and EPP’s planned to meet up and discuss this at this weekend’s NBA All Star Weekend in Indianapolis.
Shannon tweeted Unk and Mike Apps have decided to have a man and man conversation in India at NBA All Star Weekend to discuss our differences. We both realized this situation could have been should have been handled differently. I apologize to family, friends, loved ones, and my fans. When he was recently on with Shannon Sharp. She has now joined Cat Williams tour see I Love all this fighting.
On Instagram, Monique says, I want to tell you about my twin brother, Cat Williams. Baby. Guess what could be joining my brother My twin brother Cat Williams on the Dark Matter tour. From News one, comedian David Lucas won’t apologize for tasteless jokes about George Floyd’s police murder, they report. During a performance at the Funny Bone in Manchester, Connecticut, David Lucas angered some audience members when he made an insensitive remark about the twenty twenty murder of George Floyd.
Before making the joke, Lucas had heckled a black audience member who shouted that he was a vulgar thing. During his routine. The two traded insults back and forth before the Floyd A related joke. I’m not going to repeat the joke. News One says.
Later on in a video, several black audience members could be seen walking out of the venue, visibly disgusted by Lucas’s joke. According to the report, instead of apologizing, Lucas made another offensive joke, noting how he was just warming up with his joke about Floyd. On Instagram, David Lucas has been seen promoting a few upcoming shows and a comedy special. He captioned a photo of himself holding a fish. The caption read getting canceled Ain’t that bad?
Meanwhile, I told you yesterday about Paul Curry. This from The Express to remind you. Paul Curry came under fire for reportedly screaming and a member of the audience who did not join a standing ovation when Curry pulled out a Palestinian flag. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they might investigate. Soho theater bosses have apologized.
Curry has now posted a pro Palestine poster on his Instagram with the caption I will not quietly nor politely sit and make house with the depravity of this killing machine. And here’s the unexpected twist. Express Right. Since news of the alleged incident the Soho Theater emerged, audience members at a previous show in Australia claimed Curry verbally abused that evicted them after they refused to drink an unknown liquid. The allegations say Curry claimed to try to force the audience to drink from a glass, which he said contained soy milk.
Found an article here from twenty sixteen in Adelaide Now Daniel Purvis and his female friend, who asked not to be identified, said Curry had tried to force a number of people to drink from a glass. Purvoset he tried to force the glass on my mouth, trying to get it through my hands. I found that to be quite shocking. Then he pored what was left over my head because I refused. I don’t know would drink from the glass.
This same article quotes Cassandra Toombs, operator of the venue, who said that she’d been told that Purvis and the friend had been disrupting the show. Tomb said they turned their chairs upside down, they were just killing the whole show, and Paul asked them to leave. That’s the version I heard. As for the current incident, the Soho Theater told the Express, We’re so sorry and saddened by an incident that took place at a venue, et cetera. We take this very seriously and are looking into detail of what happened as thoroughly, as sensitively and as quickly as we can.
