The Shark Deck. Hey, I’m Jenny back with your Daily Comedy News. The topic Trump, Stephen Colbert said, what if he goes to jail, he could end up the head of a violent white supremacist gang, but in prison. This time, Colbert tagged it with the head of the arrangement. Foreign President Trump flew from Florida to New York and landed at LaGuardia Airport.
Yeah, he was smart. Nothing helps easy into prison like spending time at LaGuardia. Jimmy fallon same topic, Trump flew from Florida to New York, then he was arrested. He’s basically doing a reverse spring Break roy Wood Junior. I finally got a chance to host the daily show Ticket Guys long enough the upside with Trump’s DNA Now the NYPD can probably solve a bunch of cold cases from the eighties.
It’s a robust day again here at Daily Comedy News. So much news. I’ve kicked a bunch of stories to tomorrow. Tomorrow’s podcast is already really good, including information about a new Bombcat Goldthwaite album. But how can I not lead with Jim Gaffigan, John Mulaney and Mike Berbiglia doing a concert together.
Yeah, it’s not bad when Mike berbig is the third biggest act on a show. Gaffigan, Malany, and ber Biggs will team up for a benefit show at the Georgetown Scholars Program. This will happen May first at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Nick Carole will appear virtually. Jackie Novak will also perform, not virtually.
Jim Gaffigan says, really looking forward to the show. Insanely talented lineup for the great cause of the first generation college students. Yeah, that’s fantastic. On YouTube today the Big Jay Okerson Special. By the way, there have been over one hundred and fifty comedy specials already this year.
I’m going to get into that on the weekend. Whitney Cummings tweeted tweeted, what is twisted? Why don’t you edit that out, John, because I want you to hear that I said the word twisted. Whitney Cummings tweeted the roast of Burt Kreisher now streaming for free. It only fans TV slash Burt dot roast.
That’s not actually the url, it’s o f dot TV slash b e rt dash roast, don’t act like you didn’t have a bookmarked. Whitney says it’s bad crazy if I say so myself. Fave joke a question mark so streaming for free now, I haven’t seen it yet. I think it was ten dollars over the weekend. If it’s already free, it promptly didn’t do that well and she wants to get people to watch the next one would be my guest.
I’m not sure it wasn’t always free. Really not sure. I had ten dollars in my head for some reason. Who knows. Anyway, I’ve yet to see any reviews of it, so I don’t think that was widely watched other than the Reddit stuff I told you about yesterday.
Winning Cummings spoke to Yahoo and said, remember the last couple of years, it turned in like comedians had to be on moral high ground all of a sudden. It’s like we went from idolizing Richard Pryor, who on stage went into hitting his wife and doing crack, and now we’re like, this comedian didn’t post a black square at the right time. It should be canceled. It’s like, wait a second, hold on, So I think comedians right now We’re having so much pressure put on us to be perfect, and I think we just kind of want our mind. Everyone like we’re kind of scumbags.
Don’t put us on pedestals. We’re just here for entertainment. Why only fans? Whitney said, I went on there and it’s like teachers making money for school supplies and women wearing a bikini to pay for their mom’s surgery. And I’m like, that is so sad, and I’m like, that is awesome.
You know. I see girls on Instagram doing way more degrading things for free, and I’m hearing about these success stories and I’m like, oh hey, I’m totally in. Whitney added, there’s really no network at the moment where comedians feel like they can go for it and take risks, even on Netflix. That’s sort of the place we were all going.
And then with what happened with Chappelle, even though they didn’t necessari…
Seems like she didn’t like the Comedy Central roasts, so she put in some rules. She said, So I was like, what if we did the roast where no one ever got hurt? It never felt mean, I’m going to make all these changes that when I was writing the Roast, things that I wish would have happened, Like when someone is being insulted or roasted, I made a split screen so you could see them when the joke is hitting, so you could see that they didn’t get their feelings hurt. There’ll be no jokes about comedians being pedophiles or rapists if they’re not, because that’s not funny. I just made sure everyone was protected and nothing was going to feel cringey and sadistic.
I think it was Bob the drag Queen who went Whitney’s drag name would be Botox horse Face. Dan Levy gets up and says, here we are taking unprovoked shots at a talented woman. I feel like Alec Baldwin. That’s a great joke, coming said, we’re just long over to to go. Oh my god, the painful thing that happened.
All we can do is laugh and the things you’re not allowed to say.
And then you hear it, You kind of laugh, you scream, you look around, holy mo…
It’s a form of healing. Tony Rock, brother of Chris Rock, said that Will Smith did not call Chris Rock A few days after the famous incidents. Will Smith had said that he did. Tony Rock says that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.
I think like two nights later I reached out to Chris and he didn’t want to talk. That wasn’t true. Will Smith cast Tony Rock in the two thousand and five or Man at Comedy Hitch. Tony said he’s surprised that Will Smith never reached out to him either. He doesn’t owe me anything.
I just thought we were better than that. My phone number has never changed. I just thought i’d get a phone call one day, like, hey, let’s just you and I talk. It hasn’t happened. It’s I guess it’s not gonna happen just for laughs.
And Netflix have signed a three year comedy deal for three French stand up comedy specials. That’s neat. Netflix also did a deal with May Martin. I guess May’s special did pretty well for them. May has received a limited series order for it.
Tall Pines, a mystery thriller in which May Martin will star and show run. Tall Pines is set in a bucolic yet sinister town that sounds original that explores the inciduous underbelly of the troubled teen industry and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next. I feel like what I do here? Once’t you buy me a coffee? Oh?
No, it’s Wednesday? Why don’t you buy me a beer? Yeah, it’s brewery night trivia. Actually it’s the last trivia night because in the summer we’ve become a volleyball team, so this is our last appearance at trivia. So that’s a good night.

The headline murder Mystery Too? Is Adam sandler crap comedy at its worst? Subheadline in all caps? Where are the laughs? Are people finally coming around at Johnny Max way of thinking?
The Daily Beast writes Sandler’s Netflix comedy output had a bad reputation even before this dreadful, jokeless sequel hit the streamer. Still, who would have thought the movie could really be this bad? Me Anyway? Murder Mystery too. They follow up that, as with so many Saidler efforts, feels like a ritzy vacation for its stars masquerading as a legitimate movie.
Written once again by James Vanderbilt, it dispenses about as many good jokes as its predecessor, which is to say none. I love this review. Sailor was wise in twenty fourteen to hitch his wagon and Netflix, considering that his increasingly slapdash happy medicine productions are far more appealing as living room distractions than as night out entertainments. Nonetheless, the fact that he’s soon reteeming with the Safty brothers that’s welcome news because of their prior collaboration Uncut Gems, which, as you know, no sarcasm, is the greatest the Adam Sandler films, legitimately great movie. Adam, please do more of that, please.
But the Beast writes it’s great that he’s working with the Safties because it means the star will temporary be prevented from making more drek like this. I can’t get enough of it. Drew Carey annoyed some people at the big famous satellite radio company. Well not the bosses, the listeners. Drew apparently hosts something called Friday Night freak Out, except last Friday, he used an artificially generated version of his voice to handle most of his DJ work, reading a script written by chat Gept.
At first, I was thinking, did Drew get really lazy and get caught? But apparently it was a bit. I heard the clip, and the clip clearly admits that it’s an AI reading an AI script, so he didn’t try to pull one over on everybody. Drew Carey said, I violated a rule from Radio one oh one. The reason FM stations and treasured radio stations still make moneys because people like the personality of the DJs.
You don’t have to be like a big boss radio guy and be phony. You can just talk. That’s what the listeners like Carry said. He got the message don’t do it again from sports Kedia. American comedian Randy Rainbow one over the internet after he released a parody song aimed at Donald Trump’s indictment.
Rainbow has uploaded a four minute video which begins with a fake interview between Trump and Randy Rainbow for a fake news channel. The video then cuts to a song put to the melody of Boogie Woogie Beautiful Boy of Company B some of the lyrics and I won’t even attempt he was a sleazy showbiz phony born in NYC who somehow won the White House over Hillary. I’m sure Randy Rainbow did it much better. I’m not even to attempt. The song also jokes about Trump looking like a butternut squash.
Let’s take a look at the Emailburne International Comedy Festival.
And now today’s problem with the website.
I started to load it on Chrome because that worked better yesterday, and I clicked on Thursday and it loaded the Wednesday schedule. So I went back to Safari and I clicked on Thursday and it loaded the Wednesday schedule. So I clicked on Friday, and it is now telling me that this is Thursday’s schedule. And I’m looking at the long version of the UURL and I’ve manually tweaked it so in the URL it is saying six April, So I think this is Thursday night’s lineup. But you’re either in Melbourne or you weren’t going anyway, and it’s just fun to talk about these comedy shows.
Let’s see what’s going on tonight. It’s Alice Fraser’s twist. The Edinburgh Guide calls it breathtakingly funny, relatable, meaningful and hilarious. Let’s take a listen. Hello.
I want to take a brief moment to pay homage to all of the real victims of the pandemic, which were the people who had just had their lips done and botox, had to hide their beautiful mouths behind a mask while struggling to express anything. Any parents in the audience, Yes, anyone given birth. It’s an incredible thing. You made a person inside yourself, out of yourself. Who’s going to be sad when you die or at the very least ambivalent.
Come on, that’s an amazing thing. If you if you’ve got the boobs and you’re doing the boob thing, then you get to be food again. Incredible. You’re not giving this enough credit, like when Jesus does it’s a big deal. And Christy Weebeck’s show is called a bit of fun, not much of a description.
It says, take a break from the doom scrolling, drag yourself away from Netflix and join your investie for a bit of fun. The Age called it a perfect choice. Let’s listen. Hello. I was in a supermarket recently and a small child yelled out at me, Hey, you look like a man, and I said, can you please such to my boss?
So it’s reflected in my pay Just boom, just just got him. I don’t even have a boss, you know, like in your face. In all four you’ll find the tea, coffee and some sas about the gender pay gap. I was in an uber recently in the driver said to me, I thought your name was Kirsty and I said it is and I thought this is going to be good and he said, ah, yeah, you’re right. I was just I thought Kirsty was a girl’s name, and there was not enough time to explained that gender is a social construct.
So I said it is a girl’s name and he said that sucks. Bro. And that is your comedy news for today. Father show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. See tomorrow.
