Caloroga Shark Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Kimmel not happy with the results of the Emmys. He tweeted, the results of the Emmys were totally unfair in the category of Late Nit Show to exclamation points, sad rigged polls, say I won by a lot. He tagged John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers on it.
I think I did when I was half asleep the other night. Get all the winners in except the winner of Outstanding Comedy Series. The nominees Abbott, Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Murders, Palm, Royal, Reservation, Dogs, what we do in the Shadows, And obviously because the Bear, which is not a comedy at won like almost every award, surely the Bear must be the Outstanding Comedy Series, right, No hacks, So let me get this right. Everybody in The Bear, which is not a comedy series, was fantastic and won Best Comedian, m E’s, Best medic Actors and all that, but overall the series is not the best. How does that work?
Loraine Newman was not happy with The Bear. She said, every time I think about the Bear being in the Comedy category for the Emmys. I can feel an ulcer developing. I agree with you. I’m also going to point out many things can be true at the same time.
Lorraine Newman’s daughter is named Hannah Einbinder, who stars in Hacks. Yeah, Hanna is one of those low key NEPO babies. You know, if she were Hannah Newman, you might be like, hey, I wonder if her mother is a famous Hollywood actress. You know, use somebody else’s name and nobody notices. Doesn’t mean you’re not tented.
I’m just saying it’s a little easier to get a better agent, and if you have a better agent, you know what’s actually going on. And there’s also a little bit of like a you know, hey, fellow radio executive friend, would mind, you know, giving my kid an internship. That kind of stuff happens. Doesn’t mean you’re not good at it. But let’s be real, a lot of Neppo babies out there right now in Hollywood.
Wow, no luck for Larry David and curb your enthusiasm. Curb if it is indeed over, and it looks like it is has ended its run as the show with the most outstanding Comedy Series nominations eleven without a win. Kerb was nominated for four Emmys this year, including Outstanding Comedy Series Loss Outstanding Lead Actor for Larry David a Loss in the End. Kerb went twelve seasons a total of fifty five Emmy nominations. They won two Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series in twenty twelve and for Directing way back in two thousand and three.
Maya Rudolph seth Meyer’s Kristen wig and Bow and Yang were the presenters for the Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. Before they gave the award to Alex Edeman, they gave the business to dear friend and mentor, Lauren Michaels, who’s been nominated for and lost the Emmy eighty five times. He’s never won. Kristen Wiggs said, Lauren, look at me. You do a value.
You are worthy, you or not, and have never been a loser, even though you lost a lot. Maya Rudolph said, each and every one of those eighty five times you lost, you were rob bow and Yang said, Lauren, it gets better. Just because SNL didn’t work doesn’t mean your next idea won’t keep dreaming. I like how he said Lauren, because anytime I run a transcript on this podcast, anytime I say Lauren, it comes up as Lauren. It often also transcribes my own name as Chenny max eh e n n Y Mac.
John Stewart won the twenty third Emmy win of his career. So was he part of this Emmy? I feel like this was the year he wasn’t on. I’m confused anyway. He’s reconsidering his future with The Daily Show and said, my feeling is this election will never end, so why would I leave?
How could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until this election. So we’re all on ground to some sort of calcified nubs. We’re looking forward to being awful. Now.
This article here says the Daily Show’s name best talk Series for the second year in a row after Trevor Noah’s final season. Last night’s award marked Stuart’s first Emmy win in over decade. But wasn’t there a full year of no John Stuart? I’m confused anyway. Stewart gave the acceptance speech, so I guess he did win.
He said, to have the opportunity to work with this incredibly talented group once a week. It really made my mondays, adding that Ronny Chieng, Michael Costa, Jordan Klepper, and Dozzi Leidek kick ass. Michael Ian Black part of Have I Got News for You on CNN. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. I’ll watch that on the DVR maybe tonight.
Black posted a note of gratitude to his sub stack a few hours before filming the first episode, thinking about the fact that it’s been literal years since I had a steady TV gig and the fact that I was ready to give up entirely when this thing fell into my lap. Most of us are just trying to figure out something about ourselves in our world. Maybe that sounds high falutin, but isn’t that the nature of all art To cast our line into the wide waters of the world and see what we catch. Isn’t that the crux of being a human? He then joked how the show we’ll probably be canceled in six to eight weeks.
Yeah, I’d love to have for the same kind of culture cachet that John Stewart did during the Bush years on The Daily Show. That’s sort of did you hear what John Stewart said, if we get at some of that, I’d be thrilled. I’m not an activist. We’ll never be an activist because I don’t have those kinds of organizational skills. I don’t have the kind of footwear where I’m going to be out here marching around holding up placards and shouting this is what democracy looks like.
It’s just not me. But I do think I can make contributions the way I make contributions, which is by saying dumpsty on Twitter or now on CNN. Colin Joe spoke about the ferry he bought with Pete David Seddon and said is absolutely the dumbest and least thought it through purchase I’ve ever made in my life. The way I justified it is for the amount of money we’re putting it in a buying it on just a basic square footage level. If he found the right place for it to be, you were essentially buying a building on its side that’s sixty five thousand square feets around New York.
That’s a very good price per square foot. Despite two years of renovations, it still looks like a Staten Island ferry. Joe said it’s possible the ferry could still end up being functional as a boat. It would just require a staff to run it. That he was not sure that’s something he wants to worry about.
He joked, I’m sure our insurance company would love it. Maybe they’d love it because it would get them out of the contract because it requires a lot of people to move it. At this point, the ferry has to be Doctor two. The engines aren’t operable, but Joe said it could be operable within weeks if they wanted it to be. He said he had soft floated the idea past his wife, Scarlett Johansson.
She was just like, wait, so you own this boat now. She obviously sees the value in it, but I also think she’s like, it’s interesting because now it’s becoming a defining thing for you guys and an interesting thing for you guys. So you should take it seriously and figure out the best version of it, because for better or worse, it’s gonna reflect on you. Joe said, we don’t care because we’re comedians. Deon Cole’s got a Netflix special tonight or today.
I don’t know what time do they post these things. They probably post them at midnight. It’s probably up now. I want you to watch it now. This one is called Okay Mister Dion Cole recalls the telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, dating deal breakers, and more.
This was filmed back in May as part of the Netflix As a Joke Festival. Jessica Kerson is getting a special on Hulu. By the way, I saw that Hulu is branding their comedy things huluius as in hilarious hilarious, as I posted on threads where I’m at Daily Comedy News. Did no comedians say to the Hulu executives, Dude, that is really hacky? Or is the money that good?
Anyway, Jessica Kerson is getting a special. The premier date is being kept under wraps as if it’s like some big secret. That to me means they’re planning on signing some other people and they don’t where they’re gonna slot Jessica yet. Like, for example, if they sign I don’t know, Dave Schappelle and Joe Rogan, maybe they’ll move Jessica’s date. That’s what that means.
In a statement, Jessica Curson said, I’m honored to be part of the Disney family and that Hulu has chosen a feature MYNX special as part of their comedy initiative. People always ask me, is it hard to be a female comedian? I always say, I don’t know. You should ask them. Hularious kicks off in November with Jim Gaffigan.
They’ve also signed up Bill Burr, Roywood Junior, Alana Glazer otsco At Coonska. They are not messing around. Kathy Griffin believes for President Trump would quote pick comedians off one by one if elected to another term. She fears a list of personal targets, including comedians. She said, He’s gonna pick us off one by one like bowling pins.
And I’m not kidding, and I’m not being paranoid. You’re being paranoid. Verd Oz will host the International Emmys, which apparently is a thing. Who knew they take place November twenty fifth. Where would you host the International Ms?
Please? New York City. I mean, I guess New York City is part of the world. I just thought that get a little more international. Who knows Viewers says, I’m so happy to be hosting the International Emmys.
It’s a massive, prestigious night to uphold makers from across the world that I believe is making the best content I know firsthand. It could be life changing. And The Holly Reporter wrote an article about Late Night and they spotlighted some numbers. Five years ago, the Late Show finished first in total viewers with three point eight one million, Jimmy Fallon had two point four to four and Kimmel two point zero four million. In twenty twenty three, slash twenty four, Late Show was down to two point six million.
Again, that first number was three point eight that’s a decline of about thirty two percent from twenty eighteen. Kim Will moved into second with one point eight two million viewers, still down eleven percent. He also had a Monday night football lead in once a week. Fallon down the third one point four three million, losing forty one percent of its audience. Wow.
At twelve thirty, seth with nine hundred and eighty three thousand viewers was down by about four hundred and seventy thousand viewers. That’s thirty two percent. Feels more like half. I guess it’s not. Somebody’s better at math than I am.
After Midnight is averaging about seven hundred and thirty thousand viewers. Over its first five months, Bryan Stettler reported in LA magazine that James Corden’s show was losing fifteen to twenty million dollars per year. Yeah, that’s why you don’t replace that. Yikes. And that’s your Daily Comedy News for today.
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. And if you would like this thing without commercials, check the link of the show notes. So I’ll tell you how you can do that, and I’ll see you tomorrow
