Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Hunni Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Kanye West apparently re entering the world of film. This from Jimmy Kimmel, specifically the world of pornographic film. Jimmy says, that’s the kind of business genius he is.
You know what, the Internet could use some porn. Ronny Chieng and I are aligned. He was talking about the Biden administration’s new rules, which require cash refunds for air travelers subjected to everything from canceled flights to non working WiFi. Ronnie said, this is the greatest thing the government has ever done in history. Thank you, Joe Biden.
Thank you for making my life better. Now, just bring back Roe v Wades. I don’t have to sit next to a crying baby on the Red Eye. Just did that two weeks ago, so that touched a nerve there with me. There was another kerf fluffle on after midnight.
The guest Gillian Jacobs. You know her from community. She greeted the crowd, explaining how to pronounce her name. She said, yes, I’m Gillian Jacobs. That’s hard g soft j.
But the vibe is just right. Okay, I’ll read that to you again in a second after I tell you to set up here. So, something weird happened with the close captions. I saw the clip, so Gillian says, yes, I’m Gillian Jacobs, that’s hard G soft J. But the vibe is just right.
But the caption’s added the phrase, I’ll have to read it again just so I could do it in context. The caption version said, yes, I’m Gillian Jacobs, that’s hard G soft J. But the vibe is just right. I’m masturbating. What okay?
Colin Joe So the White House correspondent Dinner tonight, eight o’clock c SPAN. He’s saying, oh, on Saturday night, to watch this thing. I will recap it for you on Monday. I did see a list of who is invited on the different press pools. Some interesting notes.
ABC News correspondent Rosario Dawson. CBS has invited Sidiqua, Martin Green, and Wilson Cruz. They’re from that horrible Star Trek Discovery. John Hamm and his wife are going for CBS News. How does this work?
CNN Rachel Brosnahan Deadline invited Kerry Russell. NBC invited Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Colin Joe says your host. Tonight, he did an interview with NBC and talked about when he does the joke swaps with Michael Jay. Joe said, it’s kind of crazy. There’s not a lot of live TV in the world anymore.
So the idea that you’re on live TV and you have to say something that you don’t know what it is, that’s pretty crazy and it’s usually not gentle. I’m someone who can really be in my head a lot of times, and it definitely gets you out of your head. I really like that. Joe just also wanted to clear up that he’s not planning on leaving Saturday Night Live. He said, I don’t have a real timeline.
I mean I started a potentially psychologically brace for the concept of leaving, which I really hadn’t done. I don’t know. Certainly, quarantine makes you appreciate having any job, and I very much appreciate having friends you get to work with and enjoy seeing. He says he’s in no rush to leave. Colin, Your fairy is a disaster.
You got a steady gig, go talk to Keenan sit at that desk for another twenty years. Steady work is a good thing. Jerry Seinfeld turns seventy on Monday, so that makes me think they’ll problem probably be like a big time celebrity birthday party, right, and it’s going to be Jerry in his pals so to be Jim gaff again. Amy Schumer is going to be at that thing, right. Yeah.
A lot of Jerry press coming up the next week. That Poptearts movie is out on Friday. I’ve already got stories squirreled away. So if you like Jerry Seinfeld, you’re gonna like this podcast. G Q said, Jerry, you’ve talked about how stand up is about power, standing on stage alone, demanding the people listen and have a physical reaction.
How did the power of being a director compare? See a little trick there. I didn’t think we were going there with that question, Jerry said. Being a director feels like running a ranch in the West. It’s kind of a mess.
You’ve got horses and cattle and chickens and broken fences and filth. You’ve got a lot of people and a lot of physical things. Stand up is a pure experience. That’s why I’m so addicted to it. The only other thing in life that I truly idolize is surfing.
I watch a lot of Instagram surfing videos, and when somebody catches a great wave and they’re just sliding down, it just hypnotizes me. That’s how it feels when you’re having a good set, like you’ve caught this gigantic energy and are just sliding down it. There’s nothing pure in making a movie flow. It’s highly complex and messy. We’re all wondering, does Jerry Seinfeld surf?
No? I tried. I did it for about a week twenty years ago. You have to dedicate yourself to these great things. I don’t believe in being good at a lot of things, or even more than one, but I love to watch it.
I think if I get a chance to be a human again, I would do just that. You wake up in the morning and you paddle out, you make whatever little money in each five That seems like the greatest life to me. They asked Jerry about the Midwestern vibe in the upcoming pop Tarts movie What’s an Unfrosted? I can’t remember that. I just keep calling it pop Tarts.
They asked him, what was the Midwest like to you? Jerry said, hilarious, John Updike had of the greatest line, new Yorkers think anyone who doesn’t live in New York is in some sense kidding. That was me. It felt like, let me go to this place and show them what we’re like, and they’ll pay to see that. And I still feel like that’s what I do.
Let me show you what a New York is like. I think you’ll find it interesting. Good follow up here about Seinfeld, GQ said, that’s what I think of as the Seinfeld paradox. It’s so specifically New York and so specifically Jewish, and yet there’s a station where I live in New Orleans that, as far as I could tell, only play. Seinfeld twenty four to seven said, let me solve the mystery for you.
It’s Jason Alexander, Julia, Louis Dreyfus, and Michael Richards. Those three people transform this very small, idiosyncratic thing which should have always been small a niche. They made this unrelatable material accessible. There’s no other way it would have happened. Follow up.
Didn’t you feel like you were part of it? Jerry said, I was part of it, but I wasn’t on their level. I did what I could to help. All Right, So I want to cover this, but I also don’t want to lose the audience. Jim Gaffigan on The Today Show, Hawking is Bourbon.
I’ve spoken about this quite loudly. We have to do an intervention for Jim Gaffigan. So as a journalist, I’m not a journalist. As a journalist, I need to cover this, but I don’t want to lose the audience. So here’s what I want you to do.
I want you to take out your phone and hit thirty seconds skip twice so you don’t have to sit through this clip. Okay, you’ve been warned. Don’t delete the podcast and be like this podcast sucks. I’m telling you. I know that the next minute sucks, but I have to as a journalist.
I’m not a journalist. I have to play this clip for you so you can experience. Jim Gaffigan on The Today Show. All Right, last warning skip skip all right, this is on you. You’re still here if you’re hearing my voice or now you didn’t hit thirty seconds skip.
I tried to warn you. Father time Bourbon. Father time. Well, you know, since it is bring your child to work, I thought that I would bring in my baby. I don’t know if they have.
If we have it out here, we go, yes, this is, this is it’s it’s I think it’s a beautiful bottle. And it’s called father Time. And so oh, I said father time. It’s father time. It’s father time.
So it’s not the guy with the beard. It’s about this time that a father, like the tagline a father, it’s called a father’s joy is earned because being a father is thankless. And by the way, I do believe that the mom is the heroine. Anyway, I’m going to sign this because each bottle is signed, and I’m going to charge you guys for this bottle. Anyway, Oh my good, this chim I just feel the coolness just oozing out of you.
Every time you listen, you talk about the bourbon. That’s only half the clip. I will play another minute of that clip tomorrow. David Spain and Dana Carvey have some thoughts about the upcoming Chris Farley biopic. Spade said, I’m a little ambivalent about it.
I don’t know. I heard some whispers about this for a long time. I’ve run into this guy Paul Apparently that’s actor Paul Walter Hauser, who’s going to star as Chris Farley. He’s a nice guy. I think he’s wanted me to do this for a while.
Carvey said, in all seriousness, I wish How’s are the best. But he says it’s hard to portray someone like Farley. It’s one off and charisma. It’s very hard to get used to it in a film. Even the last Elvis movie Austin Butler did incredible, but you never reach Elvis.
It’s impossible what it was the best. I’ve seen the same thing with Will Smith when he played Muhammad Ali. He was absolutely fantastic, But the whole time you’re going, but you can’t do Muhammad Ali. Spade said, I wish him well. Like you said, it’s hard to capture the highs and lows and the greatness and just the pure likability and the innocence and everything that was great about Chris Farley.
Carvey says, Chris had so many sub rhythms. There’s a meal to be had there. Matt Friend, you might know his impressions of Donald Trump, which is okay, Howard Stern which is really good, and I have not heard his Mitch McConnell. He’s getting a podcast on Bill Maher’s network. It’s called Friend in High Places.
Friend aims to be the intersection of mar Graham Norton, Jimmy Fallon, and Sean Evans of Hot Ones. He tells Variety, there will be politics, but it’s gonna be lighter. There’ll be a variety showcase element to it, where I might do a topical sketch or comment on something in the news. I misspoke, it didn’t edit. I said tropical sketch.
I don’t know what a tropical sketch is, but I’d watch it. But at the same time, I’m going to be having longer conversations with actors and athletes and politicians. Blah blah blah. Let’s see what’s happening in Sydney. Lara recoats A show is called Little Tiny Wet Show Baptism, a surreal, partially interactive, dark like Silly Dark, not Edgeloord, dark and moving comedy show about what it’s like to live, what it means to care for somebody for you always leave them.
Comedian Ashley Freeze has released an album co written with Ai. The album is called Monkey. Paul Cowboy actually said, once I started playing with the tool and seeing what it could do. I think the album was inevitable. Ashley wrote the lyrics to all the songs, which are in the style of country music.
He says, I’ve never particularly been into country music, but it’s clear that this is a good genre for comedy songs. Let’s listen. The following tracks are written by and all persons depicted are entirely fictional. And while the lyrics tried a mimics songs and singers quite ut comic. The whole thing’s just a party trick out electronic and Jack Whitehall is continuing to go at it with Prince William.
I told you I think yesterday Prince William did a knock knock joke and said it was like Jack Whitehall material. Whitehall released an Instagram video of Prince William telling the joke. I’m going to share the audio. Whitehall doesn’t speak during the a video, but he is making faces at the camera and at the end he takes notes. But here is Prince William.
I am here with the character talking about mailing my health and I’ve been asked to produce a dad joke, so I’m kind of trying to channel Jack Whitehall as the best of it. Jokes are pretty Badlike, that’s fine. I think what I’ll do is, I’m going to say a joke that has Shotlet’s favorite joke at the moment that she keeps telling me. I’ll do that instead, but you’re going to have to interact me. It’s not a joke I can tell straight away, not a lot interrupting caroten.
