Caloroga Shark Media. Hello again, It’s Tuesday afternoon. I’m Johnny Mack, and there’s just enough Daily Comedy News for me to throw in a mini episode here. Earlier today was the Normal episode, which was the eleven most Powerful Comedians of twenty twenty three. Tomorrow morning the top eleven comedy specials of the year.
But let me tell you a couple of things that are going on. John Clees is in a little bit of a controversy. He compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler in a tweet. Clees wrote that there were five ways in which Hitler was preferable to Trump. His reasoning, one he fought for his country.
Two he never used to teleprompter. Three he was nice to dog’s four he wrote his own books. Five he never played golf. Six he wasn’t a big fat slob, So that’s actually six, not five. Then he continued listing five ways that Trump is preferable to Hitler, writing one doesn’t practice genocide, two he has nicer hair, and then left the other three spaces empty.
Got very upset, and Clees then wrote it was a very bad joke, especially on Boxing Day. He then reposted a number of messages supporting a joke, including one saying they both have a silly walk. One person tweeted at John and said the original tweet was not funny and not true either. Clees replied, some people think it was funny and not true. Someone else suggested that Clees’s best comedy as were behind him.
John said at the age of eighty four, I should hope so. Clees wrapped it up by saying some people thought it was very funny, but they have a sense of context. Easily solved, just don’t follow me anymore. Yahoo had a little more detail about Pete Davidson canceling a bunch of shows. Pete had been working on a movie called Riff Raff.
Apparently, there was a paparazzi photographer whose attempts to take some pictures allegedly sent Pete Davidson off the deep end. According to in Touch magazine, initial efforts to dissuade the photographer were ignored, which is said to have angered Pete Davidson to the point where he attempted to engage in a personal confrontation. The incident allegedly made Pete Davidson so angry that after multiple staffer stepped up in an attempt to calm him down, Pete allegedly stormed off and then allegedly trashed his personal trailer. A source said Pizez a good guy. Everybody likes him.
He’s obviously going through something right now and people are worried about him. He has canceled upcoming shows in Chattanooga, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Milwaukee. The next show that is still on the docket is January sixth at Foxwoods in Connecticut. Tiffany Hattish was on stage on Christmas and apparently made some jokes about her recent arrest. She joked, I’m sorry, but you ain’t live until you got to rest in Beverly Hills.
Okay, it’s beautiful over there. I mean in quite a few jails, just like the rest of y’all. If you’re gonna do something, I say, get arrested over there, because that jail is nice. It’s so clean. But the food I ain’t eat.
I was fasting. I already ate four times. I was serving food all day at Thanksgivings. I didn’t have nothing to eat, but they did offer me juices and stuff. I was like, oh, this is so nice.
And then my cycle had started in while there, I’m bleeding on the jail. But they are the best Maxi pads. I’ve never seen a pad so big and went from the top of my belly button to the top of my behind. And I was wearing a thong too, so it looked like I had a pillow and a rope. I said, let me get one more of those paths and use it as a pillow.
It was comfortable, was nice. They gave me one of those fleace blankets they get in first grade or something to take a nap on, and I did that. I took a nap. Was beautiful, wonderful experience and sad news. Tom Smothers, half of the famous Smothers brothers, passed away on Tuesday at age eighty six.
His death was announced on Wednesday by the family and National Comedy Center. His brother Dick’s Mothers, who’s eighty four, said in a statement, Tom was not only the loving older brother that everybody would want in their life. I’m forever grateful that I’ve spent a lifetime together with him on and off stage for over sixty years. Our relationship was like a good marriage. The longer we were together, the more we loved and respected one another.
We were truly blessed. In nineteen sixty nine, CBS canceled the Smothers Brother’s Comedy Hour. That was CBS reacting to the Smothers Brothers making fun of the powerful in the country and boosting critics of the Vietnam War. In twenty nineteen, there was an event to celebrate the fifty year anniversary of the firing Tom. Some mothers told the AP at that time, it’s really an honor to be honored in this way.
We’re both alive and not having someone speak for us, we can mumble our own way through Tom’s Smothers was eighty six years old, all right back in the morning with the top eleven comedy specials of the year. See you then,
