Caloroga Shark Media a very very robust Monday. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. A good joke by Jimmy Kimmel who said Marjorie Taylor Green is acting like such a child that Matt gets asked her out on a date. By the way, if he wants some political comedy, check out the Ballot podcast. So I’m up two minds here.
One, this really is a robust show with a lot of great stuff. On the other hand, honestly kind of frustrated. I wrote and recorded this on Friday because I was going to Cleveland on Saturday and just needed to get in front of things. So I will talk about Kat Williams, and I will talk about Tom Brady, and I will talk about the Pop Tarts movie. I’ll do all that tomorrow because as I record this, haven’t seen him yet.
That kind of sucks. By the way, the big difference between Cleveland and the Golden Globes Cleveland has fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Heading into the weekend, Jeff Ross thought that Tom Brady was going to have the strongest say. During the roast of Tom Brady, Ross said, I watched him running some material. He’s ruthless.
He wants to win his own roast. I caught him in the last super Bowl he won, like three years ago. On Super Bowl Sunday, I saw him looking at my Instagram stories. I’m posting roasty jokes about the Super Bowl and I happened to see Tom brady verified account and he’s playing in the super Bowl three hours and I’m like, this is what this guy’s doing right before the Super Bowl.
And then he won, and I said, man, I think he’d be a great person a roast.
We can invite Julian Edelman, he can explain the jokes to Gronk. It could be a fun night out. Brady was like, LFG, let’s go. Then he agreed to do it. He signed the contract.
Then to get out of it, he unretired for two years. To his credit, he’s stuck with it and he’s brave. Man. The thing I love about Tom Brady is he’s a student of the roast and it was his dream to get roasted. Cat Williams big profile in The New York Times.
I shared it in the Facebook group on Friday Daily Comedy News podcast group The New York Times says with a mister Rogers level of thoughtfulness. Kat said, I thought I had worked out a way of breaking the Internet, and I felt pretty confident, so I kind of wrote it like a one man movie, with the intention of the outcome and the trails off there the time. Says few people are better at weaving narratives that seem too incredible to be true than Kat Williams, like when Cat describes how he taught himself to fall asleep exactly fifty nine seconds where’s caat Williams himself puts it, The benefit of Cat Williams Live is that you don’t know in any way what he’s gonna say. I try to write the seven to ten most bleeping things that I think, and I try to make that into the comedy show. And our long special comprises ten to twelve standalone pieces, which usually leaves Cat looking at a bit or two.
As he’s writing. For this set, he paired down what started as a ninety minute set. On the road, Cat watches footage of the previous night For the first thirty so dates, Cat says, my job is to let this guy know, Hey, you’re looking old out there. You’re gonna work this stage. He says, most off and he’s not refining the words, but the delivery a bigger gesture and a different tilt of the head.
By the way, if you’re in Cincinnati April twenty seventh, you missed it is now Cat Williams Day. Yeah, Cincinnati proclaimed Cat Williams Day due to notable career and performances at established venues such as the Improv. Amy Schumer was honored at the Variety Power of Women. She teld the yucky story about on a recent project, the cruise production assistant had been sexually harassed by an actor on set. Amy says she told the appropriate people and did what she needed to do to feel safe and to heal.
I called her to apologize and thank her for speaking up for the women who would come after her that she had saved. This isn’t perfect. This is progress, and many of you here today your work will help guide these women. So when the time comes, they’ll say, oh, I’m so sorry, not on my watch, mfor Here’s a clip from Amy. Some women may say, some people may say that women are good leaders.
I know, I’m serious. Some people they think we’re good at communicating and maybe we should be running more things. It’s crazy and we carry the wisdom of so many brilliant women before us. We know from Bell Hooks that learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. From Glory as steinem we know that we are linked, not ranked, from Paula gettings that one of our core principles should be making women equal to women.
Somebody else who spoke at this was named Sasha Seinfeld Seinfeld. That name is familiar a. Sasha Seinfeld is a staff reuter on Life and Beth. Oh and she’s the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld. That’s weird because Jerry sometimes puts Amy in movies.
Oh okay, welcome to Hollywood, everybody. That’s all it works. Sasha spoke about Amy Schumer here. Let’s listen. Amy, a smart person unafraid of seeming dumb, was my entry point into womanhood.
What she lacks in propriety she makes up for in HUTSBA. Until Amy, no one had ever told me to be courageous, be saucy, confront people, say your wildest, most truthful inner thoughts, take that last trip before someone else does. She is exactly the kind of woman I want to be. In another clip, I don’t audio of Sasha Seinfeld is telling a story about Amy Schumer at the memorial dinner for Jimmy Buffett. I didn’t know Jimmy Buffett and Amy Schumer were tight.
We welcome to Holly what everyone? When Jane Buffett entered the room of grieving guests, Amy took one of her boobs out, walked right up to Jane and gave her a big hug. It cut right through the darkness and made everyone smile. Sasha Seinfeld said. Amy said to daughter Delaney Buffett, I could see them being friends.
As I believe both these Seinfelds and Buffetts have homes in the Hamptons. Maybe Amy does too. According to Sasha, Amy joked, if it makes you feel any better, I wish my dad was dead. Sasha Seinfeld, writer on Amy Schumer, projects her dad is Jerry Seinfeld. Have you heard of him.
He’s got a new movie called Unfrosted. He’s not gonna like the reviews. Here’s a roundup. The Chicago Sun Times declared Unfrosted one of the decades worst movies. If there was such a thing called the IMDb Witness Protection program where you could get your name taken off the credits of a particular product.
This would be that project. Wow. I’m quite surprised because the trailer looked fun. As I record this on for IDA, I have at CD yet playing on watching it with my wife at seven pm. It’s on the family calendar.
That said, a lot of Netflix movies are terrible. Netflix. I feel like in the last fourm Ons has gotten a lot better, but a lot of Netflix movies have been pretty terrible. The Daily Globe and Mail called it one big steaming pile dot dot dot, a distressingly laughrey affair, like a long lost Lorne Michael’s produced SNL feature from the nineties. Jokes so hacky that Kenny Bonia wouldn’t touch them, and the pacings so slow it rivals Elane’s experience during the English patient Yikes.
The Daily Beast called the movie as bad as you’d expect, superior to Seinfeld’s B movie. It’s content to be child, content to be childishly silly rather than legitimately weird. There’s nothing particularly awful about it, but there’s also very little that’s a memorable. That’s kind of what I’m expecting, Collider wrote, considering we’re in a world where Barbie can make one point four billion dollars. It’s a shame Unfrosted doesn’t try harder again.
Even a film like Weird The Wonderful Weird Al Movie managed to make its jokes and cameo’s work as part of a larger story, whereas Unfrosted always puts the story on the back burner. The San Francisco Chronicles says Seinfeld’s over the top throw and everything but the kitchen sink approach mixed for an uneven film, with some gags inspired, others grown inducing. The Guardian was kinder, saying it’s all It’s not exactly a masterpiece, but amiable and funny in a way that’s much harder to achieve than it looks. The Washington Post gave it two and a half stars and said Unfrosted maybe the platonic ideal of the Netflix movie ephemeral, edible, enjoyable, forgettable. Jerry kicked off The Netflix Is a Joke at Comedy Festival last week.
He did the show with Jim Gaffigan, Nate Pergatziy, and Sebastian Maniscalco. Jerry called it, according to Hollywood Reporter, one of the best nights I’ve had in my entire life. Wow, Jerry said, I’m here with the greatest comedians we could get that were available tonight. How’s itnonamous at a gig. We’ve never been on a stage together in our lives.
This is our first time. Sebastian Maniscalco said, I’m not used to working with other people, some kind of put out of place and trying to figure out where I belong in this group. Seinfeld said, I used to work with three other very funny people. I got used to that. Seinfeld teld the audience.
The group had to figure out who was gonna go in what order. They drew numbers out of a hat. Manuscalco got one, Bergatzi two, Gaffigan three, Seinfeld four. That’s a hell of a coincidence. Gee, you think you think that was the order of Sebastian Nate?
Jim Seinfeld, Yeah, what did you think? Gaffigan said, I’ve been praying for third. Sebastian introduced Manuscalco was saying, he’s one of my favorite comedians. Come on, that’s the perfect that’s how you would sequence it. What are you gonna have Jerry go first?
And Sebastian clothes get out of here? That’s the worry. Bourbon entrepreneur Jim Gaffigan commented on accusations he’s on Ozimpic after a recent weight loss. He denied it. He said he’s on a similar medication, Munjaro.
I had to look that punch line up. That is a type two diabetes treatment to lower A one C. Jim said, I’m not playing Major League baseball. I’m just a fat guy trying not to die, trying and enjoy being thin because I know I’m gonna be fat again. This is not sustainable.
This is the drug to close out the night. Jerry did jokes about marriage, golfing, and AI and said, I like a I I like it. It can’t write this. I looked at stuff terrible. It can’t write comedy.
It’s not dumb enough. You need a certain amount of dumb for this, and you can’t teach that. That’s a gift. Oh, I accept the challenge. Here.
Let’s see, let’s go to chat. Shept wright Seinfeld style jokes about what should we go with? Chairs? Maybe Jerry’s right, here’s the best one to check him up with Chairs are like the ultimate interrogators. You sit down, Suddenly they’re asking questions why you’re sitting like that, You’re really gonna eat another slice of pizza?
Not awful? You drop that in the middle of a set and have a proper comedian tell it. Those two might have worked. I bet Jerry would have got a laugh with that pizza line. More Netflix, they announced seven new comedy specials.
They are from Michelle Buteau, Ali Wong, Bert Kreischer, Dion Cole, Fortune Fimester, Gabriel Iglesias and and Joe Coy. I don’t know if you guys know Joe Coy. Uh Filipino comedian balld. He hosted the Golden Globes. He got in a bit of trouble last year.
He told a joke about Taylor Swift that didn’t go over so well. Here, let me play the club to remind you a big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. True brutal. If everything went according to plan, col and Wong have already recorded their new specials at the festival.
Gabbes will be the ones I told you about recently, recording at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, June twelfth to fourteenth. Michelle Butttill will film her second special for Netflix at Radio City this summer. Joe Coy I’ll do it again. He was saved at the King’s Theater in Brooklyn, New York last November. No word on Fortune Feamsters taping.
The eight hundred Pound Gorilla said, Hasan Minhaj hosted one of the most impressive drop in shows they’ve ever seen at Netflix. Is a joke festival, all right, I mean that’s kind of a subset there. Seipha sounds worn up the crowd with some music. Then Hassan came out and did a quick five minutes about having Ashley Biden at one of his shows and which is it was? Hunter.
He also did material about Zillo the first drop in Tim Dlon, The Gorilla says Dylan may be a big draw, but he did have his work cutout for him when he came to this particular crowd. There are two types of comedians, ones who care deeply about winning over an audience and those who genuinely don’t care. I know which Tim is. He is the latter. His set range from a zimpic to not knowing how to fix them.
Middle least to TikTok. He did end up showing his impressive crowd work chops with a few people in the crowd. The Gorilla writes, if Dylan is the comedian that seemingly doesn’t care about winning over crowd, Bert Krascher is at the opposite end of that spectrum. Came out, took off his shirt, talked about losing weight, talked about how Hassan is his daughter’s favorite comedian, phone staff with his wife, and then visiting the Anne Frank House. Liked Tim Dylan Burke Kreischer couldn’t help but address this is not his usual audience.
Next up ZENEB Johnson with a short set that’s a tough draw. Following those two, then Nikki Glaser, who did a large chunk on depression, why she wants to stay alive and aging, and then Miss Pat Wow, What a random show. Miss Patt talked about being bored by being married and getting older. She played off the energy in the room, making it clear she wasn’t there to be heckled. She got particularly friendly with a white guy in their front row named Brad.
And then Ronny Chieng What a weird show. Chang talked about loving America and his MAGA friend. He then segued into talking about canceling, saying canceling is what it used to be. Called out Hassan and Minaj directly. Minhaj started heckling him before rising out of the crowd and joining Ronnie on stage for a heated fifteen minutes of back and forth.
They started talking about the infamous New York article where Minhaj made up some things. Minhaj achuced Ronny Chieng of leaking the story. Hassan said, who the f fact checks stand up comedy? Only Ronny Chieng would set me up. Sounds like an awesome show.
That first half was so long. I had no joke. I took a lunch break. My sugar’s crashed during that first half. I had a chopped spicier Sonoma salad.
Chopped is my favorite. It is so good. Those salads are like sixteen dollars. This one was delicious. I might have to start buying me a salad.
Dot com slash Dayly Comedy News, but that’s not a thing yet. Where who are we seriously? I just took it was yeah, half an hour. I’ll see the Sydney Comedy Festival. I’ll do it quick because we were so long today.
Oh good for me. There’s only one show on Tuesday, THECD Comedy Festival show Ocase, all right, keep moving, John Netflix before I forget Tomorrow nine am is The Two Bears five K.

Earthquake at seven, Joe Kim Booster two shows seven and nine forty five Done out Rawlings at seven Well Stuffed Up Now from the Spicyy Spicy or Cinema Salad, Tony Rock at seven thirty, A lot of shows from Monday, and a bunch of others I did not tell you about. The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival announced that Shane Gillis will headline August twenty fourth. Some yucky news.
British comedian Dane Baptiste allegedly posted an anti Semitic death threat about a female comic. Prominent members of the British comedy community rounded on Baptiste as he was accused of publishing a now deleted Instagram post in which he told an unidentified female comedian per Deadline, that he would sit in prison while your family sit at the cemetery. No no, no, no, not cool, dude. Per Deadline, the UK’s Community Security Trust is a charity that examines incidences of anti Jewish hate. They’ve been notified about Baptist’s message, which began a quick note to the Zionist comedian stalking my family’s page.
Baptiste wrote, I want you to sit down with your husband and kids and imagine what they’re lives. I didn’t want to repeat this because North London is a quick trip in a think tank. Will have to be an actual tank to keep you safe from me, dude. Awful awful, awful. Ask about and comedians will tell you.
I will be your literal doorstep. Your agent will keep you safe. The act is dumb, but don’t be a dumb woman, yikes. Deadline writes they do not know the identity of the comedian Baptiste was allegedly threatening. The post has been deleted, but it’s making the rounds on Twitter.
Ricky Gervaise reposted a post that highlighted Baptiste publicly threatening to kill a Jewish woman. Another comic, Marcus Briggstoke wrote, the threatened by Dean Baptiste against a woman on ig wasn’t vague and cannot be justified. It was targeted and dangerous, driven in my opinion, by anti Semitism and misogyny. I refuse to look the other way and stay silent while only Jewish friends speak up. I see a Instagram post one day ago, so it’s Friday one, eighteen pm Eastern from me Instagram’s hyming.
This is from one day ago on what I believe to be Dean’s account, and it has a check mark in the reason past. I received a number of threatening and abusive messages from accounts accusing me of anti Semitism for having propouse and in views of a new family, and my partner made me aware that some of the same people were monitoring her Instagram account and a massive error of judgment. I posted an excessive and impulsive response, hoping to suade anybody monitoring my family. I made a point to say Zionist and not Jewish, but I appreciate how disturbing threatening, and in Cindiara that language is. I would categorically state that I have no ill intention towards the Jewish community and never have.
I have a loving family of which I’m massively protective of, irected poorly and emotionally to a perceive threat with no considered thought to the consequences, and I apologize profusely for my actions to the Jewish community, my colleagues, and my fans. That is an Instagram post that’s all white text on a black background, no image. A Dean apparently had been dropped by his agencies as I record this on Friday.
Meanwhile, in Madison, Wisconstant A theater canceled show featuring Michael …
He was scheduled to play at Comedy on State on Thursday. I feel like we’ve heard about them before. Chappelle on the back of my mind Something Something. The Avenue sent out an email to ticket holders Wednesday night saying the show was canceled due to safety concerns from escalating protests and a quote contentious nature of the dialogue unquote surrounding the conflict in Gaza. Apparently, the statement reads in light of the current environment downtown marked by a reculating protests and a contentious nature of the dialogues around in current affairs, We’ve made a difficult decision to cancel the Thursday show with Michael rapperport the safety and well being of our audience, members, staff and community or our top priorities.
We believe this decision is in the best interest of all involved. Rapp Report went on Twitter and called these situation in Madison quotes very very very bleeped up. Apparently, Comedy on State is less than a mile away from a student encampment that was set up to protest Israel’s response to the attacks by Hamas and Gaza. John Stewart not on tonight because he was out at the Netflix as a Joke festival in La So Jordan Klepper will do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, but John Stewart will do Thursday.
