Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Charlemagne the God presumably has the same writers Jesus Merrow had on The Daily Show last week, but Charlemagne getting much better jokes. The topic is Ron DeSantis wearing some sort of lifts in his boots. Charlemagne said, we need a short president anyway.
People always talk about Napoleon complex is Well, that guy ruled the entire continent. Abraham Lincoln was tall and he got shot in the head. So you tell me who’s more successful. Charlemagne again. At least now I know why DeSantis is in that huge fight with Disney.
It’s not because of wopness. It’s because you got to be this tall to ride the magic teacups. That’s good, Kimmel. One of the most important qualities we consider when considering a leader is that person’s height. That’s why I’ve been pushing for a president Kareem for many, many years.
But Jimmy Kimmel for the win. It does seem that Ron de Santis may be wearing heels. I’ll tell you what, throwing a tube of lipstick and suddenly it’s illegal to teach kids in Florida schools about their own governor. I noticed Sammurial tweeted I met MSG Theater this Saturday in NYC. Not a lot of tickets left.
New Hour of Jokes see you there, And I went, huh, somebody is probably panicking about ticket sales. I mean, not a lot of tickets left. What does that mean? So I clicked on it and I shared it indie Facebook group which is Daily Comedy News podcast group. Please join us and I’ll remind you this is the MSG Theater.
This is not the basketball arena. Plenty of seats available in the upper deck. Not sure what’s going on there because Sam is a fantastic comic.
Also not really selling a lot of tickets.
Surprisingly. Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan, Right, you think that would be a good bill. But in that same Facebook post on the Daily Comedy News podcast group, I shared their ticket sales and yeah, you can get in for fifty bucks in the upper deck pretty easily. I got suspicious about all this when I saw gaff Again and Seinfeld doing press together. They were asked the favorite part of each other’s comedy.
Jerry said, not only do I have material that we like, to talk about. But we talk about where we work and how we work and out it feels comedians are a very gabby bunch. That’s how we got another profession. All we want to do is talk when you have an approach and take the craft seriously. Those are the best comedians and that’s Jim.
Jim said, There’s so many things that Jerry has done that are impressive, but I’m most impressed with his work. Ethic comedy, more than anything in the entertainment industry, is ever changing. It’s very rare for someone to be performing at such a high caliber of quality through different decades. Jerry said, I’m speechless. Jim said, I’m reading this off the press release.
Here’s the big question. You’re performing two nights at the Chase Center. You gotta fill twenty thousand seats a night. Give us your best sales pitch For those on the fence, Jerry said, I would continue to consider it, give it a lot of thought. Don’t be impulsive.
That’s what I would advise. If you’re thinking about it, keep thinking. On gossip Corner, The Sun noticed that Seinfeld star Michael Richards was spotted at a rare public outing with his family seventeen years after the incident at the comedy club where Michael Richards fell from Greece, Michael and his family stopped by a local park and in and out Burger. No word on what they ordered. An eyewitnessed notice the family picked up their in a Porsche an eight in and out Burger in their car.
Kataku has been paying attention to Nothing Forever. Remember the Ai Seinfeld thing. It’s been running NonStop since last December. Apparently it almost broke last week, and they’ve now made some tweaks. Nothing Forever originally focused on Larry Feinberg and some side characters that were reminiscent of the Seinfeld sitcom, rendered in PlayStation one style graphics.
The apartment they walked around kind of resembled the Seinfeld apartment, and Larry Feinberg would even perform a stand up set sometimes. Then the AI generated Larry did a transphobic joke because it’s a comedian, I guess, and you have to I don’t know. That led to a temporary ban from Twitch. Fourteen days later, the series resumed, but had a new cast of characters. Larry Feinberg was gone.
In his place, Blogger Leo Borges that still kind of looks like Jerry. The stand up bits are gone and replaced with soliloquies of Leo’s thoughts, as he posed to his blog borges boredom Board. In October, a Twitter user posted that the show’s characters don’t even say anything anymore, just stand still in complete silence. That poster fought up on another tweet about a strange orange man that stocks the apartment, disappearing and reappearing at random. On October thirtieth, media reporter Jason Koebler shared a video of two characters, Leo and Nick Sterling, walking into each other in front of a close refrigerator on a loop for five days.
In the past, the show discussed eating fruit or cooking eggs frivolous stuff. Now the characters go on long tangents about the nature of existence, if a refrigerator has consciousness, how they’re trapped in a simulation, and of course aliens too bad. The original idea was kind of fun. Comedy Dynamics is producing a new comedy special from Paul Riser. He’ll tape it at the Newman Center in Denver on November seventeenth.
Paul is also returning as Detective Jeffrey Friedman in Netflix’s Beverly Hills cop Axel Foley. We could see Paul Riser back on stage. I’ve talked to him a few times. Good guy Brad Garrett shares with Deadline that he’s not happy that his name was being used to promote a comedy show starring the Real Housewives of New Jersey personality Joe Gorga. Deadline rights it turns out everything was a scam and no show is taking place.
A representative for Gorga tells Deadline it was coming from a fake Brad Garrett, Joe’s attorney was scammed, even had signed contracts in place. Gorga’s reps said that Gorga is disappointed and he was looking forward to performing in Vegas. Garrett was on Instagram and wrote, alert, this is not an actual show at my club and people are being scammed to buy tickets via a fake link. So Joey Gorga and someone else named Jack in it looks like WTF. No one knows who you folks are in the comedy world.
Now are you working at my club? Remove these ads immediately, geez and catch New Jersey has nothing to do with this as well. Let’s see if we can decipher what’s happening at the three one to two Comedy Festival in Chicago today. As I’ve mentioned most episodes recently, the three one two Comedy Festival. They might be good at comedy festivals, they’re terrible at calendar technology.
You can only search by alphabetical order. So today, being November two, I have to scroll through and see if I see the words November and two next to each other. Here’s the one at the VIC Theater, Dusty Slay. Dusty is amazing. If you have not checked out Dusty’s bit about it’s five o’clock somewhere, stop listening to this podcast to go find it on the internet.
It’s fantastic. Hannibal Burrs at the Chicago Theater also a good show. All right, I’m gonna click and see. Could we make it both? Why do you have to click?
Johnny Mack, aren’t the times on the page that’s sorted by alphabetical order? Of course? Not? All right? Dusty sleighs at seven scroll down, click.
This is really terrible this website. You’ve heard me do this festival thing before. Hannibal is at seven point thirty. Ooh, that’s a tough choice there. I would go see Dusty Sleigh right now over Hannibal, and I don’t say that lightly.
Chad Daniels at the Chicago Improv Roast Battle Chicago at Zany’s, and a couple of minor things not bad, but go see Dusty Sleigh if you’re in town. I noticed THEO Vaughn’s podcast is in the top twenty on the over all charts. THEO quietly becoming a comedy powerhouse. I was listening to an episode of his recently with a Politician. It is not a politician that I support, but I found the interview very compelling and very easy on the airs.
Theovonn’s podcast is pretty good. Heads up if you’re and Spokene and you’ve got tickets to see Colin Jose tonight, the show has been canceled and rescheduled for June twentieth. According to the Fox Theater, all previously purchased tickets for the Thursday performance will be honored at the new date. No reason given why a quick Google search for Colin Jose doesn’t turn up any news Dale Hugh Lee. You remember Matthew Berry’s generosity of spirit.
This from the New York post. They were co stars on Studio sixty on the Sunset Strip, which is a pretty good show. You should check out. That show deserved a lot better. It was kind of like what if the West Wing were Saturday Night Live.
Thirty Rock came out at the same time and kind of stole this show’s thunder. But I liked that show a lot. I believe it’s streaming on I want to say, Paramount Plus, why don’t you just tell them John look it up. No, it’s not streaming anywhere right now. I looked this up the other day and it was you can rent or purchase it on Amazon.
That’s a shame that that’s not streaming hugely said. I was on the road when Perry died, and I instantly flashed back to Studio sixty, and he tells a story from way back. It was a very late Friday night. My son had turned eighteen, so I was going to take him out and we were going to hang out all night. But we were running over in the shooting schedule and we got behind and Matthew let me leave.
It did something I would never do. He switched the order of things so I could leave early and be with my son. I didn’t ask him, but he found out about it and he did it, and he had to shoot scenes at like two and three in the morning. So when I heard he died, I flashed back to that moment. I forgot all week to talk about south Park joining the pander Verse.
Have you watched this yet? I have to add this on the top things of the year. Note it’s not a stand up special. Let me pull out my list here. Hmm.
This could be number one, which right now is Todd Barry and the number two stand up special is Shane Gillis. But between those, I have Kunk on Earth, which really gave me the giggles. I’m going to put pander Verse right below Kunk on Earth? Are you hearing me? Of all the specials that came out this year, I like into the pander Verse, South Park episode better than everything but Todd Berry Hi praise, The Hollywood Reporter explains in the forty seven minute special Joining the panda Verse, we’ll find it on Paramount Plus.
Cartman begins to fear that he’s being replaced by a diverse woman. The episode comments heavily on some of the creative decisions made by lucasfilm star Wars Marvel. The story shifts to a meeting of Disney executives where CEO Bob Iger is irate. An executive tells Bob Iger, we don’t understand it, sir. We keep making the same movie over and over and pandering to everyone, and suddenly it’s not working.
Iiger replies, then we’ve got to pander harder. Gina Carano, who starred on The Mandalorian and then got pushed out of that show after she made some controversial online statements, she chimed in and said, this is the part where Kathleen Kennedy, who runs Lucasfilm, demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode. She’ll have YouTube disabled the thumbs down option because of the ratio she’ll receive. Then she’ll have her publicist Gooules, make sure a variety and the Hollywood Reporter r on hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families, smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucasfilm. She’ll activate her online mob to beat that the South Park creators are racist bigot transphobes and demand that the South Park creators publicly apologize by using only words she approves of.
And finally she’ll demand that they subject themselves to a re education course of forty five people in the LGBTQ community. Zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt over a little boop of a South Park episode. Wow. Anyway, into the panda verse. If you have not enjoyed all the recent Star Wars and some of the more recent Marvel movies and you’re wondering what’s going on, watch into the panderverse.
It is very entertaining. John Glazer has an album out today. It’s called Soothing Meditations for the Solitary Dog, the ideal companion for those unfortunate yet unavoidable times that dog owners must leave their beloved pets at home all alone. The album has been designed to help soften those unsettling times. Checking in at a Grammy submission required minimum thirty minutes of peaceful tranquility.
John Glazer’s Smoothing Meditations for the Solitary Dogs the perfect remedy for any dog owner that cares about the mental well being of their Sweet Precious Angel. There’s an album release and party in Brooklyn tonight. Eugene Mermann, Joe Firestone and some others planning on going. It’s at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn. Sounds fun.
And if you’re at Cornell tonight, it’s the Climate Change Comedy Hour. Environmental historian Aaron sachs we use a combination of gallows humor, history and silly videos to show how we can shift our attitude about climate change. Sax says, climate activists known for spouting doomagloom have almost never tried to use humor in their messaging. At this point, it’s probably too late, but we could always try to prevent the oil companies from having the last laugh. Cornell the Lewis Auditorium in Goldwyn Smith Hall, you know the building five point fifteen.
The event is free, the public’s invited. And I think we’re almost at the end of the list of the Vulture twenty five comedians. You should know there might be one or two left out of alphabetic order where I bumped it and moved it to the end of the list, But we’re up to Sophie Zucker. So these are the comedians whose last names begin with at least zu. There shouldn’t be too many, you know, unless there’s like Steve’s a Ziva coming up.
Sophie says, I’ve learned that I like to treat the audience like I’m already kind of annoyed with them my on stage persona, which is just an exaggerated version of myself. It took me a long time to figure out, and I think this sort of antagonistic presence was one of the final pieces. Having the point of view of you guys should already know what I’m talking about. If you don’t, you’re dumb. Sophie says, I’m bored of ironic comedy.
I’m bored of comedy that’s supposed to be funny because it sounds like bad comedy. Don’t make fun of telling a joke. Tell a joke. I know it’s harder, but I think you can do it. And that is your comedy news for today.
