The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News late Night on Strength, So Late Bot says, Sick of a Miles a great day to remember the bravery of the Mexican soldiers who defeated the French army in eighteen sixty two. Or you know, drink tequila and pretend you’re a Mexican wrestler. Your choice. I could see Jimmy Kimmel telling that exact joke.
It’s also a day to break out half ass Mitch Hedburg impression hit the bass guys on sick at a Mile, I’d like to celebrate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French by eating tacos. It’s a lot easier than trying to pronounce a poet Black correctly. Sick of a Mile is the only day of the year where I’m allowed to put tequila in my coffee without being judged. It’s like a fiesta and a mug, all right, that’s ridiculous. I like to think a sig at a miles a day with a guacamoli flows like water, and the margharitas flow like margharitas.
Thank you, AI, half as Mitch Hedberg, John Mulaney wishes he would have been asked to host The Daily Show five years after he was. Millaney said, it was shortly after the SNL fortieth anniversary, so that’s nine years ago. I guess I had a sitcom on Fox. Oh yeah, I remember that existed. Nobody watched that thing that bombed hard.
Milaney said that aired all thirteen episodes, but it was canceled. It didn’t do good numbers, but at least critics were viled it, so it was a fun time. John Stewart was leaving The Daily Show and Kent Alterman, president of Comedy Central, asked Millany if he wanted to take on the hosting role. Mullaney said, I was extremely flattered. I sensed they would be big shoes to fill.
I think I was also gun shy from putting myself out there after the Fox run, and I sensed all eyes would be on whoever came after mister Stewart. It wasn’t the right thing at the moment, but I remember saying to Kent, I wish it was five years from now, and he went, yeah, but it’s not well, John Mulaney, how about now. He’d be a great fit. John, You could you know, you wouldn’t have to travel. You can make a lot of money.
You could kind of stay home. It’s right in New York City where you used to live. Anyway, where does he live now with Olivia? Or are they buy Coastal? I can’t remember what their deal is, but John Mulaney Daily Show they can’t afford him.
Jim Gaffigan spoke to The New York Times. He said, in a strange way, gardening is similar to writing stand up and acting. Yeah, yes, he says, in that every day you know what the task is, but the outcome can be different. So you might know that you’ll be able to grow some cucumbers, but what do you do to facilitate growing cucumbers or help it be different? Every day you have some control, but not all control.
The trial and error of gardening and the meditative time you spend doing it is really coming and it reminds me of writing stand up and building a character for a movie. Bowen Yang is disappointed that SNL was canceled this week. He said, we had a few good shows left. I think we all came back rested and ready to work on Monday. Beat Davidson was very excited a host, even though we knew there was a big astres gone the week and there was a looming possibility it might not happen.
I think we’re all ready to give it her all for the next three weeks before the season ended. Oh yeah, the season is three way all right, So SNL’s done for the year. It’s not coming back. They’re talking to the strike might go all the way to November. So I hope you enjoy late bot behind the scenes here.
I’ve been using chat GPT for that and it doesn’t always come up with good ones. I was trying to get it to do some Kentucky Derby jokes for tomorrow, and it just it was spitting out garbage. So maybe we do need writers.
Speaking of Pete Davidson’s CNN’s headline, I don’t want to even bother with …
She spoke to The Daily Beast and they asked about the appeal of Pete Davidson. She said he has a magnetic personality. The kid is as alive as a person as I’ve ever seen. I imagine he must sleep, though I’ve personally never seen it. He just has an energy that’s contagious.
He had an excitement about making the show that was sweet. And he’s adorable, and he’s self deprecating and humble. He has a lot of very attractive qualities and it pulls people in. I mean, he’s got all kinds of people to be on this thing. Apparently, the first scene of bubb Kiss is quite naughty.
I don’t want to describe it to you because I read it and I was like ick. They asked Edie Falco about Pete’s BTE reputation, which again recently Pete shared average. But as for the energy that comes with the average, Edie said, Indeed, when I started doing the show, I started hearing more of this stuff. I started wondering, like, maybe I should find out what all this stuff means. I have my sources.
I found out she didn’t come it. Hey, great news. Remember that Will Ferrell golf comedy that’s coming out. Guess who’s gonna be in it. They’re talking to Adam Sandler.
Adam Sandler would reprise his Happy Gilmore role. Oh Goody. One way to support the show has become a premium subscriber on Apple podcast. So you open up that purple podcast appen. They’ll look at like a banner ad in front of you and be like, hey, premium subscription, huh, And then you click on that, and then what they’ll do is it’s five bucks a month.
In the first month’s free, so you could try it out see if you like it. If you don’t like it, it goes away. Then you’ll get the episodes commercial free, and you get them early, usually around four pm Eastern, the day before the show is officially released. And I mentioning this on Friday, because on Friday you wake up and you already have the weekend episodes. Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers are hooking up their staff.
Employees of both their shows will continue to be paid for at least three weeks of the hiatus, two weeks funded by NBC in an extra week funded by Fallon and Myers themselves. Healthcare coverage has been extended until September. If you were a teenager in the nineteen eighties, especially if you were a boy teenager, remember faces of Death. So if you don’t know what this was. It was a like greeny VHS that like your friend’s cousin’s older brother had a copy of and you made a dub of it and you passed it around, and it was supposedly footage of real people really dying.
It was one of the great eighties vhs is, along with Porkys for obvious reasons, and an underrated one the movie version of mash there’s a scene with hot lips where if you freeze framed it just right and you were thirteen, you could convince yourself you were looking at a naked lady. Too much information Sean Faces of Death coming back in the new version. A content moderator whatever that is, stumbles across a group that’s recreating the murders from the general Faces of Death, but this time the question is are the murders real or fake? Jermaine Faller is part of the cast. That’s why I’m talking about it to see he’s a comedian.
It’s Daily Comedy News, by the way, Daily Comedy News number one in Zimbabwe. I shared the screen grab in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group Zimbabwean’s no where to get their comedy news. If you’re listening in Zimbabwe today, say hi, will you you know that reboot of the Santa Claus. They needed somebody to play the Easter Bunny in season two. Who did they ask?
Tracy Morgan? Of course, Duster Nickerson spoke with The Athletic. He started stand up when he was twenty seventy. Said, I’ve been married for nine years, I had two kids. Who was the first time they did stand up?
It was not only a late age start, it was a late life start to be that old and established as an adult and start something as ridiculous as stand up. He thought he wanted to be a sports writer. Then he was a youth bast He moved to San Diego. He’s working at a rec center and he thought, I always wanted to try stand up. So he headed down to the Mad House for an open mic.
Did three minutes to one story, got two laughs, and he said, I finally found the thing. I spent the next two hours asking other comedians how it all works. Friend of the show, Dan Booblitz Junior told me about the Chief Comedy Festival and train tour. It’s today and tomorrow the headline train hoop your way to Trinidad for an epic weekend of comedy Mayhem and Southern Colorado. All right, what’s the deal here?

Jennifer Wong must be doing well at the Sydney Comedy Festival. She’s playing there on Saturday. She’s added another show in Daily Said, a quick flowing hour of self deprecating, hilariously absurd situational stand up. Let’s listen. Hello, I’m Jennifer Wong.
My new stand up comedy show is called Jennifer Wong has no peripheral vision. It’s because I have a genetic eye disease called rittenitist pigmentosa, which is Latin for please don’t drive. Some people don’t see race, some people don’t see color. I didn’t see edges. When I’m at a restaurant, I only order entrees and mains.
