Caloroga Shark Media. Jimmy Fallon said, I can’t wait for March Madness. I can’t wait to see who wins and how it’s connected to a conspiracy about Taylor Swift. Uh watch out, Jimmy. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.
We are back to normal now. Thank you so much for the notes. I got a lot of notes on the side, and case you missed it, my mother passed away last week. Thank you. On Late Night, Jimmy Kimmel started talking about my favorite topic, Kate Gate.
What’s going on with Kate Middleton? As you probably know, I’m the writer on the podcast Palace Intrigue and boy, the numbers are just off the chain. About Kate Gate, Jimmy kimbl said, shows you how different it is in the UK. Kate goes missing for a few weeks, the whole country goes berserk.
Meanwhile, we haven’t seen Melenia since twenty twenty one.
John Oliver on his show said a certain someone’s Adobe free trial expired in a pretty public manner. Manity Fair is wondering if John Oliver is teasing a deep dive into the CAD’s Middleton controversy. Oliver was on What What Happens Live. Andy Cohen asked, what’s going on in Ky Middleton? Oliver said, I was out.
I thought let’s just ignore this. We’ve moved on until the photoshop thing. It feels like you’re almost handling it badly in an impressive way. At this point, Oliver joked, there’s a non zero chance she died eighteen months ago. They might be weekend at burning.
This situation non zero. I’m not saying it happened. I’m saying it’s non zero until proved otherwise, until you see her with a copy of the day’s newspaper. Back in twenty eighteen, he talked about Megan Markle and said, I don’t think you have to have seen the pilot episode of The Crown and get a basic sense that she might be marrying into a family that could cause some emotional complications. I mean, they’re an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo job.
That’s what she’s marrying into. So I hope she likes it. It’s gonna be weird for her. He was very prescient.
Meanwhile, the UK comedians having some fun.
Joe Lycett was one of the comedians at an event at Royal Albert Hall. Before he set he’d jumped down in the audience to experience their view. He noted he had never been to the Royal Albert Hall. Trivia question how many holes does it take to phill it? Think about that one?
John Lennon has your answer. He got his assistance from security, get back on stage and choked, I feel like a royal and then said where is she? Which got a big laugh. He added wrong place to say that, I imagine. Later in the night, comedian Paul Chaldry he joked about his confusion at people who edit their images on dating apps and later have to explain why they don’t look the same in real life, and he joked, who edited your pictures?
Kate Middleton? So much fun, palace intrigue. Wherever you get your shows. There’s a great new website called latenight or dot com. They cover late night.
It’s in the name. You could have figured that out without me telling you. Therefore, Desi Leidick has described Stephen Colbert wrote an email a long time ago. The email was to Rob Wriggle, and it’s been passed down from one generation of Daily Show correspondence to another. She said, Rob passed it along to Al Madrigal, Al passed along to Jordan Klepper, who passed it along to this generation.
What’s in the email? Desi said, they’re really good pointers, like know the three things that you really want to get from the interview subject and don’t leave until you get them. But she pointed out it’s not that easy. Colbert had the advantage of being brilliant at everything he does. Dmitri Martin will have a special all of a sudden next week.
Yeah wait, that’s not next week, John, That’s slightly more than a week from now. April second is when Dmitri Deconstructed comes out. There is a trailer. I’ll just play a snippet because he said a couple naughty words. But notice on this trailer the bass music very reminiscent of one of Mitch Hedberg’s albums that has the base on it.
I think it’s Strategic Grow Locations that has the base on it, and this really reminds me of that. Plus, Dimitri’s delivery is already in the Hedbergean Ballpark, so very interesting choice here, and can’t be accidental. Someone must have pointed that out right. Yes, let’s listen. My friend asked me if I ever went swimming with dolphins.
I said, yeah, definitely. I mean, what distance are we talking about from the dolphins? I’m pretty sure I swam with all of it the last time I was in the ocean. Apparently, Butttel has a special company in Netflix as well. I don’t think I’ve seen a proper announcement of that, but March twenty sixth on Netflix.
We’ll keep an eye out for that. Maybe a little announcement at some point. Kyle Knain is on the Last Laugh podcast. Some good advice from Kyle. He says, as a comedian, you get really locked into your surroundings.
Everybody from New York has jokes about the subway, Everybody from LA has jokes about auditions, and you sometimes forget there’s a whole country between those two cities. When I would visit my mother in the facility every day, she’d be like, did you see the person was pushing for the subway? And I’m like, no, I live in New Jersey. I don’t watch New York news, I don’t read the New York Post. I have no idea what you talk about?
Did you see the ooh creepy? You know what just happened? After I did that little not quite impression of my mom, I got a notification audio device has been disconnected from your computer. My mic crept out right, then weird, Hi mom, Kyle said, what’s really important to me is work life balance. The whole hustle culture like you have to sacrifice your entire existence for success.
I don’t subscribe to that idea of success. Your life is yours, It doesn’t belong to an industry. He said. The first peak of his career was around twenty ten. Maybe there’s another one coming, I don’t know.
That was when Comedy Central asked him to come in and record a few promos. He became the voice of Comedy Central. That was around the time we created Comedy Central Radio and Kyle did the liners for that radio station, which I created. Kyle said the network never gave him a contract, but just kept bringing him back week after week and year after year. Kyle said, right away, my expectations were set.
You have it, but you’re not gonna have it forever, but you have it for now, so be grateful. Before Kyle the job belonged to Pengulette, and he said, I don’t want to be stealing anybody’s job, but I think he’s probably doing all right. I think he’s got to mansion in Vegas or something. Kyle was the voice for about a decade, and then he started hearing from comedian friends that Comedy Central was booking auditions to replace him. He jokes, I lost it.
How I got it? Good thing. I wasn’t spending the money because I knew it wasn’t going to be forever. They also asked him about why Comedy Central has fallen by the wayside. Is the phrasing and he said, if I had answers like that, I wouldn’t be talking to you from a basement in Portland.
Again. Hopefully you can hear in my voice today. I’m in even in my jokes about the microphone that I am feeling. Okay, thank you so much. I got so many notes from listeners.
Again, thank you. Becky went to buy me a coffee dot com. Now I’m not here to shill for coffee. I just want to thank Becky. She did go there and bought me five coffees.
I won’t do the full you RL today because it’s not about trying to get a coffee out of you. I just want to thank Becky for doing that, and she also sent me a note thank you very much, Becky.
Speaking of the National Donuts chain, when I was there this morning, I was w…
Now, if you’re a relatively new listener, Evil billing Vall is a guy that kind of looks like Bill Angvall, except he as a goateee, you know, like the mister spock Er evil abed thing if you have a go tee, or the evil version of the real version. Now, I know this joke makes no sense because actual bill Ingvall often has a go tee. But this character is Evil bill Ingvall nailed the door for me, and dude, he’s super nice. He was like super friendly. He’s like, hey, man, I have a great day.
So not so Evil bill Ingvall. But his character is Evil Billing That’s who he is. David tell Is on Mark Marin’s podcast this week. I did not get to listen to it yet for reasons well discussed. John Oliver on SmartLess also haven’t gotten to it yet.
At some point I’ll listen to those and I’ll pull some clips. Apparently, Oliver told these SmartLess guys he’s not interested in acting again, saying I haven’t done a lot of acting, and I think when I have done it, I’m not sure I would call it acting. And I remember Jonathan Banks, legitimate actor, came up to me before Seen and said, I just wanted to talk about what our characters are doing before this, and I had to tell him, Oh, Jonathan, I’m just going to say these words in the funniest possible way. Banks said, you know when actors act opposite a tennis ball, I’ll be that ball for you. John Clees is on Bill Maher’s podcast.
I haven’t listened to it yet for reasons well discussed. He said he has used a medium to communicate with the Lates Graham Chapman. Apparently Clees hired a psychic to quote explore his consciousness, but found himself communicating with Chapman. Clees claims the medium referred to facts that she couldn’t possibly have known. She said, who’s Graham?
And I said he’s probably Graham Chapman. She says he’s going on about a pipe. I said, but yes, he always smoked a pipe. Then she said he’s rolling up his trouser leg and I said, oh, that’s a sketch we did about the Freemasons. Bill Maher was like, maybe she saw the sketch and Clee said, no, it’s only been aired once or twice.
The sketch first aired in nineteen seventy and it’s been viewed two million times on YouTube. On Cleesa’s next visit, the psychic said Graham was waving a monkey with a strapeytail. Now you may not know there is a lemur named Clees’s wooly lemur named after him. I’ve told that story in the past. But Clee said, there’s no way she would have known that.
John. Maybe she listens to Daily Comedy News. She said, why is he showing this to me? He says, it’s named after you, and I said, no, it means that that species of lemur is named after me. There’s no way she would have known that except for the two million views and even me mentioning it.
Mill Maher said, are you sure it wasn’t in the twenty five Things you Don’t Know about Me and US magazine, because that’s the kind of thing you might get there. That sounds fun. I will have to listen to that. A DC Sketch Fest starts tonight, Executive producer Isaiah Heaton told WTOP when they first started this thing, we’d been traveling around the country going to sketch fests all over and we wanted to bring one here to Washington. We’ve been growing a lot the last couple of years.
There’s so many new teams, so it felt like the right time to bring the community together to showcase the talent and invite our friends from all over the country to come participate. One hundred performers from twenty two comedy troops from all over the US and Canada. Apparently there’s some regionality. Heaton says. The Seattle teams tend to be very silly and wacky, whereas the New York teams are very sharp, so you’re getting a mixed flavor palette of styles of comedy that kicks off tonight.
Boy, I’ve got ten more stories since a get too. That’s what happens when you pre taped four episodes in a row. Don’t worry, the weekend’s coming. I’ll get to the ball. Let’s see, let’s do gossip Corner and then we’ll get out of here.
On gossip Corner, Kevin Hart was spotted at Jeff Ruby’s steakhouse. No word on what he ate or not. I thought he was like mister Vegan now hmm. Trevor Noah looking for a new place in New York City. Apparently he was spotted checking out a three bedroom, three and a half bath unit asking seven point four million dollars in building on Tenth Street.
Design details include oversized arch windows, barrel vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, and views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and Hudson Yards. Bill Maher has broken up with Talent Agency CAA after not being invited to the co chairman’s Oscars party. And as if the recent week wasn’t terrible enough, Adam Sandler movies are going to be released in Imax. Oh my goodness, what are you people doing to me? Luckily it’s not a terrible Adam Sandler movie.
It’s the good one, uncut Gems in Imax May twenty second. If for some reason you want to do that, that’s a thing that exists, and that’s your comedy news for today. I’m glad to be back. Thank you At i’le see tomorrow
