Caloroga Shark Media. Another I’m Channing Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Dave Chappelle dropped by fifty Cents Charity Festival late last week. It was the Humor and Harmony Weekend in Shreveport, Louisiana, four days organized by fifty Cent to raise money for underserved youth communities. DC said, man, I flew all the way to Shreveport because any time makes history, I don’t want to miss it, and this is history.
This mf for Curtis Jackson has been the American nightmare and the American dream in the same life and brought it all here to Shreveport. Curtis Jackson aka fifty Cent and his charity organization, the g Unity Foundation, put together the event, which also included Andrew Schultz, Bill Bellamy, and Kat Williams. Joe Rogan has picked a candidate for president. It is RFK Junior. On his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan said, he’s the only one that makes sense to me.
He doesn’t attack people, He attacks actions and ideas. But he’s much more reasonable and intelligent. I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer and he cleaned up the East River. He’s a legitimate guy. I don’t know if Rogan was paying attention to the news last week, the whole thing with RFK Junior bringing a dead bear to Central Park, and plus there was the whole brainworms thing.
I mean, vote for who you want. Rogan called Kennedy a straight shooter in contrast to the spin produced by the Democrats and Republicans. Rogan said, that’s politics. They do it on the left, they do it on the right. They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives.
It almost sounds like he’s writing a song. And the only one who’s not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Kennedy posted a clip of Rogan’s endorsement, saying, from one legitimate guy to another, thank you Joe Rogan for always putting substance first. Well Trump got a word of this and posted on truth Social It’ll be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets booed the next time he enters the UFC ring Mega twenty twenty four.
Then, after a couple hours of Rogan fans being like, wait, what, Joe backpedaled, I’ll say it. I’ve been challenging Joe Rogan to a fight in the ring for maybe a year now, and he’s a coward. He hasn’t accepted it. Joe, I’m gonna kick your ass. I’ll let Joe Rogan beat up for some publicity.
You know how much that’ll advance this podcast. Come on, Joe, what are you afraid of? Anyway? Joe Rogan pose on a Twitter For the record, this isn’t an endorsement back pedal much. This is me saying I like RFK Junior as a person.
You ever have your ex girlfriend say that to you, Like, Hey, I just like you as a friend. Well, Joe Rogan just likes RFK as a friend. This is me saying that I like RFK as a person and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence. I think we could use more of that in the world. RFK thanked Joe Rogan for his comments.
All Right, Big Kilt Sony Show Saturday Night. I guess we should start with this one. Shane Gillis was at the event and did his Donald Trump impression. This is a great clip, little longer than I usually do, and I’ve clipped it in a few places because Shane Gillis Trump said some naughty things and we don’t want to do that on this podcast. It’s crazy what’s going on at us, Tony.
I’d love for you to stop talking about Bustin for one second. I think you tell me as New York is probably the best. And I will say this. The reason I’m saying this is we don’t have absolute cowards like little Joe Rogan telling us what to do up here. Little Joe he came in, he said he wants to endorse RFK Junior.
Can you believe this? Joe Rogan is an absolute joke and if I ever saw him, I would whoop his pitch ass. What a coward. Joe Rogan, complete coward and it’s frankly, he’s an embarrassment to this country. He used to be such a possible.
And at that point actual Joe Rogan showed up and then Shane Gillis Triump said this, this man is Joe Rogan. What a true Adria great man. I would never say anything negative about this norm order guy. What a guy. Everybody that brees this is one of the best guys we talk about.
We say Austin, Austin Texas is great. Joe Rogan is great. Frankly, Joe Rogan is the best, and everyone knows it. And I love r MK. Who doesn’t love Rumka is a great givin.
Also appearing at kil Tony New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers has played eight more minutes for the Jets than I have. Rogers chuck some footballs into the crowd.
Also appearing at this show not just Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis and Aaron Rod…
I’ve heard people say they met Joey Diaz and he was a terrible, terrible, terrible human being, like the worst person who could ever possibly meet. Some people are not fans of Joey, and I only have terrible things to say about him. Out on Netflix today Matt Riffe’s crowd Work special. It is called Lucid Netflix in the log line says We’re all in this together. That’s the premise behind Matt rife special.
Well, he’ll get up and close and personal with this audience for a full hour of crowd work, Rife mocks people who say his stand up style is just easy and leaves the audience with one question, is it really on your Netflix today? Matt Rife Lucid. It was the tenth anniversary of the passing of Robin Williams. I remember that day clearly for two reasons. One, it was the first major thing that happened after I had left Cerrus XM Comedy.
And it is my tendency when something like a Robin Williams passes, you’ll be like, oh, let’s do a tribute show, let’s do stuff. But I was sitting home with no job, so I did nothing. The other thing that happened on that day was a different news story that people have forgotten. I teach this to my college students. Do you remember and you can look this up?
When NASCAR driver Tony Stewart killed a guy? Yeah, here’s it. In corn driver Gus eleven twenty fourteen, Stuart Hitting tragically killed Kevin Ward Junior on August ninth, when the latter climbed out of his car and onto the track. But no one remembers it because, oh my god, Robin Williams died. Tony Stewart was in the news for like ten minutes, and then the passing of Robin Williams totally wiped that out of the news cycle.
Robin Williams daughter Zelda went on Twitter to debunk a viral photo of Robin Williams alleging he owned a pet monkey. Zelda wrote, Dad didn’t own a pet monkey. No one should. Zelda clarified the monkey in the photo is the monkey from Night at the Museum, and the monkey lives at an animal rescue center. She referred to the original post as some probably ai written bs, and she encouraged us to ignore the creepy robots trying to farm your clicks and do something nice for yourself instead.
I sure as hell will Jimmy fallon the Olympics. People were not digging it at all. I was watching the closing ceremonies with my wife and there were two commentators and one of them was saying a bunch of not funny stuff, and my wife was like, oh, and I said, that’s Jimmy, and she’s like, that’s Jimmy Fallon. That’s Jimmy Fallon. One disapproving fan on Twitter wrote, NBC, get Jimmy Fallon out of there.
No, this is ruining every good feeling I had about the Olympics. Another fan wrote, imagine carrying out your country’s flag and a roaring arena at the Olympics and you have Check’s notes Jimmy Fallon yapping in your ear. Another wrote NBC, what the hell just let them walk the Olympics closing ceremony. What is this Jimmy Fallon? Leave them alone?
Please? If I was a flag bearer representing my country at the Olympics and they’re forcing me to talk to Jimmy Fallon instead of enjoying the moment, I would say the C word on live national television During an interaction with athletes, Jimmy Fallon asked Olympic champion Katie Ladecki if she planned to swim home. I did broadcast the Jimmy I think twice. A’d serious youn. He was a guest on Brewer Show and he was a really good guy.
I have another Jimmy Fallon story for a different day. We’re getting a little long here ready. Very busy for a summer Tuesday. Tuesdays in general are usually light, but today’s pretty busy. Did you watch last week tonight?
John Oliver made fun of Donald Trump trying to stick Kamala Harris with the nickname Camabla. Trump’s campaign spokesman Stephen Cheng decided to whip out a Ven diagram to explain the connection between Comma and Blah. John Oliver couldn’t resist pointing out that the diagram not only failed to explain anything, it’s not how Vin diagrams work. Oliver took out a Vin diagram that had one circle labeled John Oliver and another labeled Big Bird, with the overlap being Squawk’s educational lessons on television. Then he went for another one, a diagram with Jenna Ortega in one circle and Peppi Lapeu and the other with the overlap being can’t say where they were on nine to eleven.
Anna Marie Taylor used to be married to John Mulaney. She has a new book out, and she said, if you’re looking for Malaney gossip, you’re going to be disappointed. Taylor said, I have no desire to cater to the one single thing that people might know about me. I think a lot of this has to do with the age of social media, but people feel like they know someone from fairly small amounts of information. That phenomenon kind of scares me.
She said. She was initially frustrated by the assumption that the book would focus on her divorce from Malaney, but she wanted to write about something more universal, which is the ways in which men underestimate and sideline women. To focus on her divorce from Malaney would have been a crutch that I don’t need. Boy, the publicists have been really getting it done lately. Marcelo Hernandez, you know him from SNL.
His publicist deserves a raise because he got quite the wax job from Yahoo. I mean, let’s not even talk about the story. Let’s look at the pictures styling by Alex Badilla. There’s also a senior market editor, a fashion market editor, a fashion assistant, a set designer grooming. So this is a no joke article to get the word out there about Marcelo Hernandez, who, after he booked SNL, bumped into Bill Murray at a party.
Hernandez told Bill about the first time they met, and says Bill was like, okay, yeah, yeah man, and laughs because clearly Bill Murray didn’t remember. He was so nice. Though Hernandez emulates some comedians, he would like to be like Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart, Bernie Mack. He says, I want to be as successful as those guys, but I’m going to be the Hispanic version. As SNL gets ready for a lot of politics, at least early in the season, he says, I just try to stay happy and positive.
I don’t like the drama of it all. He was asked about Dave Chappelle, who appeared on the stage of SNL last year. Hernandez is open for Chappelle a few times. He’s also spent time with Dave’s family and says, I have no problem with somebody that has a problem with Chappelle. I love everybody.
I love Dave, and I love anybody that’s mad at Dave. There’s a new episode of Inside Late Night with Mark Malcoffee was my guest about a month ago, maybe a little more at this point, and it seems like a lot of you were digging an the Inside Late Night podcast. Well you know who was back, Robert Smigel. They started talking about Tunsis the driving Cat. Remember that In SNL sketch, Steve Martin and Victoria Jackson are a couple that discover their cat can drive.
Smigel said, I have to admit I was obsessed with Tunsis. I was obsessed with particularly the opening credits where they used a live cat and they had two arms operating the steering wheel. I mean, I’d never seen that done before. I was so amused by I would literally run up to seventeen where the offices were, and videotape the pre tape. The cat’s just sitting around and he has no idea.
He’s in a comedy bit. And to me, that’s the funniest thing in the whole world. Right, I’m trying to be better about promoting Five Good News Stories. That’s the other podcast I host. I tell you five stories.
They’re all good news. You get it five Good News Stories number five Good New Stories. Wherever you get your shows. New episodes Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Check you it out.
Five Good News Stories from Wbure. Palestinian American comedian Atheria Cube has not changed your material since the start of the war in Gaza. Her family fled the West Bank after surviving a bombing in two thousand. They arrived in Alabama in the summer of two thousand and one, right before nine to eleven Ukube says, my goal is just to express my personal experience growing up in Palestine and in Alabama as a Muslim woman. You don’t have to be Palestinian or Arab or Muslim to relate to the things that I talk about.
Wbur was curious why she doesn’t talk on stage about her family having been bombed, and she says, it’s a deep sea to trauma. That it’s so to make funny when it’s something that I constantly have a visceral reaction about, like fireworks are loud noises, door slamming, It’s not funny. As I’m saying it now, I’m like, it’s not funny. So it’s hard to make that into something. When I have any and process this thing living in my body, I’m being retriggered.
Every time I open Instagram, I’m seeing those terrified faces. I’m seeing the shaking. I’m seeing the physical reactions that I experienced and still experience even when I hear a noise. It’s hard. As for her comedy, I mean, yeah, being on stage is more empowering and allows me to talk about things through the lens of humor versus here’s my trauma dump.
I just want people to remove any kind of preconceptions that they have about Arabs or Muslim women. You know, not everyone is conservative, and even if you are where you’re practicing, it doesn’t mean that you’re this or that we’re a monolith. Kelsey Cook told cracked my plan out of high school. I was going to be a high school math teacher. I got halfway through college with the math major was really hating it.
I switched to a broadcast production degree, which is essentially video editing. I had to take a public speaking class as a requirement, and I kept turning my assignments into comedy routines. My professor pulled me aside after class and said, you kind of remind me of Kristen, and I could see that you’re enjoying this so much more than most students do. You might want to pursue something with it. I wasn’t a class clown type.
The guy who won class clown in my school was the kid lighting his farts on fire my first time on stage, and I think we have to put the word stage in air quotes. It was my university’s monthly open mic, and the cafeteria it was truly the worst place to start comedy. Because you’re interrupting people’s dinner. You’re having lines of students walk in front of you as you’re trying to tell jokes in a microphone. For the first time, it was a lot.
You’re performing to the sound of clanking silverware. But I brought some friends and they were laughing. Some other people were laughing. You need to feel some sort of connection. You get hooked pretty quickly, and that’s your comedy needs for today.
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like the program too, know what I’m saying. Oh, by the way, you know you can support the show. You got to buy me coffee dot com slash daily compan News. I went to the donuts chain the other morning.
There it was pouring. Nobody there at like six forty five in the morning, empty parking lot, no one in the store. Very suspicious. Tamor
