Caloroga Shark Media. Hey Mandam, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Congratulations to Jerry Seinfeld. He has been added to forbes annual Billionaire Roundup. The twenty twenty five World Billionaires list features more than three thousand billionaires.
Two hundred and eighty eight of them, including Bruce Springsteen and Jerry Seinfeld, are new. Jerry’s net worth is valued at one point one billion dollars by Forbes, making him the two eight hundred and twenty eighth richest person in the world as of April third. Do you read Marvel comics? Some people think that the Rhino is living in the New York apartment that used to be the residents of the sitcom character Jerry Seinfeld. There are some scenes in the New Amazing Spider Man Number one.
One of them is reminiscent of Tom’s restaurant on the corner there, although it’s called something else in the comic, And then we see the rhinos apartment, which boy sure looks a lot like Jerry’s place with the couch and the kitchen. Spoilers for Spider Man Number one, you weren’t going to read it. The Rhino seems to be out of his mind. Peter Parker tracks down the Rhino in his East Harlem apartment for clues as to what is going on. I’m recording a little earlier than usual today.
I have not yet seen any reviews of Tim Dillon’s new special, which is odd. Did they not share screeners with anyone? I don’t know? On Netflix tonight, John Mulaney has David Letterman, Hannibal Urus, LeAnn Morgan, Nicky Glazer, and Randy Newman. As I have said in the past, if you spotted me David Letterman, Hannibal Buris, Nicky Glazer, had Randy Newman do a song and Lean Morgan’s there too, all I would have to do is be like, so, Dave, what’s going on?
And shut up?
And then Dave will say something and the nick he will jump in, and then an ho…
If this mullanie show is not good tonight, the Malleni Netflix experiment is never going to work. Not gonna have a better lineup than Letterman, Hannibal, Lean Morgan, Nikki Glaser, Randy Newman.
Speaking of Letterman, I’m sure Mike from the Letterman Podcast is saving up …
Remember the time Letterman wore the Velcrow suit? That was on February twenty eighth, nineteen eighty four’s Late Night with David Letterman. Dave wore a suit made out of velcrow, jumped on a trampoline and landed on a wall. It is now part of an auction called channel Surfing, a broadcast to binge auction. The wonderful website Late nighter dot com has a lot of information about this.
The auction is selling over five hundred pieces of TV memorabilia. Late Nighter tells us designed by Letterman’s longtime costume designer, Susan Humm. The auctioneer says the one of a kind suit was acquired from Letterman at the request of Johnny Carson. The item’s listing tells us the Velcrow still works. Bidding starts at five thousand dollars Mike Chisseomost of The Letterman Podcast, although it’s expected to fetch anywhere from twenty thousand to thirty thousand dollars.
Some other stuff. Mike from The Letterman Bob Cast might want to bid on a skyscraper from the Late Night with David Letterman backdrop, a child sized Halloween costume of a McDonald’s grilled chicken. Cards from various desk bits. Maybe you can get one of those mic and wardrobe worn by Paul Shaffer. And when you think about it, who doesn’t want to wear Paul Shaffer’s clothes.
There’s also some Carson stuff, including studio lights, desk props, a set piece from the bandstand audience seats. Some SNL stuff include crew garments, including a jacket owned by Joe Piscopo, and if you want to pick up chicks, you’re gonna want to get that jacket, one of dan Ackroyd’s conehead prosthetics. That’s fun, one of the Killer b antennas worn by John Belushi. Channel Surfing a broadcast to Binge Auction May seven through eighth, more details on the Late Night or website. Fox News was listening to Theovan’s podcast and they noticed that Theovon is behind these tariffs.
Fox News writes comedio theovaugh Worn that not giving Trump’s tariffs a try could be a wrap for America’s economy, a quote theo as saying, on this comedy tour, we’ve probably been to the top two hundred cities size wise in America, maybe even more than that, and a lot of them there’s nothing there. It’s empty downtown, and so you start to be like, nothing’s gonna change, There’s nothing coming that’s gonna make that different. Michael Costa was on the Last Laugh podcast and explained, if I just say Trump is stupid, the audience is gonna clap. That’s not good comedy, that’s not unique. We’re not pointing out apocracy.
We’re not building an argument. So we have to be aware of that. And it could feel good as a comedian if you get the audience to clap or laugh, but that doesn’t mean you’re doing a good job at comedy. And there’s a part of me that wonders if we’re making jokes while the Titanic sinks while Hitler is invading Poland. There’s also part of me that can very optimistically appreciate that the Constitution is two hundred and seventy years old.
This is not the first egomaniac we’ve had as president. It doesn’t always feel like they’re working, but there are checks and balances. That’s the space we’re trying to live in. Send your letters to both Michael Costa and Theo Vaughn. Greg Gutfeld is going to host a game show.
Sure, that’s a great idea. It’s called What Did I Miss? A new game show that will quiz four uninformed contestants on the events of Trump’s term so far. According to Fox News, the contestants have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York with no contact to the outside world since January twentieth. They had no phones, no internet, no TV, no social media, so these people just sat there reading books.
The contestants were released on April thirteenth on What Did I Miss? The contestants will have to identify real and fake headlines presented by Greg Guttfeld for grand prize of fifty thousand dollars fifty thousand dollars to sit in a room and read books for three months, I guess. The limited series is three episodes, Gutfeld said in a statement. For these four contestants learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, They’re gonna have to get through me first, Lucky them. The show is going to tape in front of a live studio audience and will drop on Fox Nation May twelfth through the fourteenth, Looking forward to that one.
Huh. Ricky Gervaise is a vodka brand. Dutch Born has launched the Spirits of Comedy stand up competition in the UK. The Spirit of Comedy aims to unearth and promote new talent to a global audience. There will be multiple regional rounds across the UK, the grand finale scheduled for October first in London.
Ricky Gervais said, as well as trying to make Dutchborn a billion dollar global brand, we thought we might as well try to find Britain’s second greatest comic. I liked that quote. That’s a good quote. The first rounds are in May and July and twenty UK towns and cities. A second round August.
In September, highlights of the show will be broadcast on the dutch Born YouTube channel. If you want to apply, submit a short clip on the brand’s website. The winner will receive five thousand pounds that’s around sixty six hundred US dollars and will be invited to open for Ricky at London’s Ovo Arena, Wembley on November fifteenth. Every guest attending a Spirit of Comedy event will be greeted with a complimentary Dutch born cocktail. Sean Patten’s got a special out.
It’s on the eight hundred pound Gorilla YouTube channel. In number one, Seawan shares his experience with obsessive compulsive disorder, a mayhem filled to childhood, and the complex enduring connections with his family. Now, I’m not sure if this special is new new or new to the Gorilla because Sean Patten has an album called Number one that was released on September twelfth, twenty twenty three. But anyway, it’s not like we’re all quoting that one left and right, so it might as well be new. Verdaz not happy with Air India.
He alleged that he got a broken table, broken leg rest and a seat stuck in a reclined position despite paying fifty thousand local currencies for the seat. I’m gonna have to have Google help me with this one. Let’s see, fifty thousand Indian rupees are right now as I record five hundred and eighty three dollars okay, so Verdaz paid five hundred and eighty three dollars for his flight and he’s upset it Air India. Daz posted on Twitter that his wife what a fractured foot, didn’t get a wheelchair even after pre booking the service. Air India says, hey, the crew offer to assist the guest, including d planing by using the ambul lift assigned to the aircraft.
They say the delay, not denial, in providing wheelchair assistance, was due to unusually high demand for wheelchairs and staff at the time. We empathize with the guests, especially giving the mobility concerned involved, and recognize that this experience fell short of expectations. Das post a Dear Air India, please reclaim your wheelchair. I’m a lifetime loyalist. I believe you’ve got the nicest cabin crew in the sky.
This post pains me to write. Broken table, broken leg rest, her seat is stuck, recline won’t strengthen fully. We’re told the flight is newly refurbished. Two hours late, we get off in Delhi and we’re told it’s a step ladder again. Wheelchair and meet and greet services at airports pre booked.
I asked the air hostesses at the front of the plane assist my wife while I carry four bags. Silence and a clueless look at each other. We step off the plane at the top of the ladder. I ask an Air India male ground staff member to help us, looks at me, shrugs and ignores me.
Meanwhile, Joe Coy thanked the flight crew of an LA bound flight that made an…
The flight from the Philippines to LA was forced to make an emergency landing in Japan. It is not exactly clear why the plane was diverted. However, video taken by passengers shows smoke in the cabin. That would be a good hint. Joe Coy posted a video on his Instagram thanking the crew, saying the flight attendants were amazing, thank you for remaining comm in a situation that could have went south fast.
Three hundred and fifty five passengers were on board, nobody was injured. You may recall Joe Cooy once hosted The Golden Cloves where he made this joke about Taylor Swift. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer cambra shots of Taylor.
Swift, so this surprised me. Maybe I’m just dumb and misunderstood everything. I was expecting three Kiltny’s on Netflix in a row, but no, they’re apparently spread out. Kill Tony was just on YouTube on Monday night, not on Netflix, so I don’t know what’s going on there. The Free Press had a good take on the Netflix episode, saying the lesson of Netflix’s first Kill Tony and I can’t bring myself to watch another.
One of these says O the Free Press was that just because you have a popular podcast where you could be rambling, weird and sometimes very funny, it doesn’t mean you’ll translate well to a different medium. I’m gonna give that same note to John m’laney show. Hours long podcasts have built in slack the listeners with you for the ride, especially on Netflix, does not. Every frame needs to make a case to the viewer not to click away. I’ll jump in here.
As I said, I think they put a ten minute barrier. Tony came out and introduced the band. The first comic was flat. At minute eleven, Shane Gillis’s Trump comes out. That should have been the first thing that the casual Kill Tony sampler had been exposed to.
I don’t think the casuals got to minute eleven free press rights. The audience expects polish, and it’s unclear, though becoming clearer, whether the comedians who found themselves in the mainstream are up to the challenge of shining up. I’ve been mentioning I’m obsessed with Last One Laughing UK on Amazon. There’s only like six episodes, so I’m watching one a night, but I am loving it and it got me thinking, and I share this in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Feel encouraged to join us and join the conversation.
I wondered what Last One Laughing US might look like. My mind keeps going to Bert Kreischer. I could picture Bert Kreischer in that room, and if Bert’s there, I could see Sigura there. Another person I thought would play well in that room is Sarah Silverman, because she does like to work dirty, and some of the stuff from Lou Sanders in the UK version made me imagine Sarah coming up and whispering something very naughty in someone’s ear and getting a laugh. I started to think about who would be a good host for this.
My mind went to Conan O’Brien would be fantastic. However, you know, at some point there’s a budget, right, so if you put Conan on top, the show is really expensive to begin with. So I don’t know if this is really stick at all, but you know, you could probably get Sigren Kracher to do it for laugh Sarah seems like should be game. Aaron in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group wrote, I think Sarah Sherman would kill She’s right, Sarah Sherman would be perfect for that show. Aaron also suggested Mark Marin, and I could see Mark Maron in the Richard ayoad A tough nut to crack roll.
Another name thrown out there, Tracy Morgan. I think Tracy would be really good in the room, and you could probably get Tracy anyway. Last one laughing us. Somebody make this, will you. I gotta tell you I’m really happy with today’s show, because I’ll be honest, at one point I thought I had nothing, and this is coming out really well.
Let’s head over to Moontower. Many shows tonight, Morgan Jay is your headliner at the Paramount Theater at seven. Morgan has a special on Hulu coming up on Friday. There’s actually too many shows for me to tell you about one that caught my eye.
Also at seven o’clock at Antuon’s New York’s Finest Friend of the show, John …
That’s a nice lineup. Maria Bamford’s at the Thompson Theater also at seven, Todd Barry at the State Theater, also at seven. Interestingly, at seven point fifteen, a show called Cheers Queers also has Ian Finance on the lineup, So apparently he’s going to run from one show to the other. I’m not sure the distance between those two venues. The Moontower All Stars at the Cap City Company Club Main Room at eight o’clock features two former guests of this show, Matthew Bissarajar, Gianmarco Soresi and Ashima Franklin, who’s never been on the show.
A show at eight point thirty is called s word is Golden, so crap’s golden. What’s catching my eye here is that the cover art for the show looks like if you told chat gpt to make a cartoon of a very old Mark Maron with gray hair. And the person in question, who’s a cartoon who’s definitely not Mark Maron with here has a podcast microphone, so that’s interesting. Lisa triggers at the Creek in the Cave at nine point fifteen, and like ten other shows that didn’t tell you about, tomorrow is just as busy. And that’s your comedy news for today.
If you enjoy the show, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. If you’re on YouTube, like subscribe, thumbs up, alarm bell, all that YouTube stuff that you YouTube people do, do it all right, See you tomorrow,
