Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Kevin Hart fired back at Kat Williams Friday night on NBA Unplugged, Kevin riffed another fun fact about the Knicks. I don’t know if you guys know this, but Kat Williams bought the Knicks, and it’s rumored he took the Knicks back return them without a receipt. He’s the first person ever do that.
He bought them for fifteen days and return them. I’m sure how funny that is, and I’m sure he told it better, but okay. In a nine minute video posted to social media, Ice Cube has responded to Kat Williams. Cat had been talking about a scene in the movie Friday After Next. The scene features Cat’s character Money Mike cornered in a bathroom by Terry Crew’s character.
Cube said, it’s been over twenty years since the movie came out and people have different perspectives. I would never shoot a rape scene in a movie, especially Friday, where you can actually see this happening on camera. That ain’t my style. The plier joke was always in the script. We would never ever show that.
That’s not my style. If you look at any of my movies. So that was never a discusson and ice Cube added there was a discrepancy in how he and Williams remembered how it went down. Quoting ice Cube, at that point in everybody’s career, we’ll listen to a certain extent, but we’re not going to change the movie for it for any actor. You know, we do what we feel, and if it was a rep scene, it would have been in the movie.
There’s no reason not to shoot it. But that’s not my style. Another claim by Kat Williams was that the role of money Mike was written for Cat. Ice Cube said the role was written, but he enhanced it, which is why Kat was so dope. In the movie.
Money Mike had a small role, about as big as the Santa Claus role, but when we started the filming, he was giving such magic that we kept expanding the role and giving him more to do because he was on point. As for compensation, if any actor is mad about what they got paid, then look at what you were doing. Look at where your career was at the time and where it is now. And I believe Friday has something to do with that. I put a lot of people in movies, but they ain’t never put me in a movie.
You can take that for what it’s worth. I gave these guys a lot of opportunities, and I still act, So I’m waiting for a call. I ain’t got a producer write anything. Ice Cube ended the video with saying he has love for all the comedians he has worked with. Tiffany Hattish hit back at Kat Williams.
Cat had told Shannon Sharp they think they can rewrite history. Guy Tory did a beautiful special about the Comedy Store in Fat Tuesday, where he said Steve Harvey and Centric, the entertainer Kevin Hart, and Tiffany hatishall came through there all lies. Tiffany performed live on Thursday until that audience, I’ve been doing so much stuff. I was on That’s So Raven, I was on White people TV shows, Black People TV shows. She then ran off her resume as a comedian and actor.
I’ve been telling jokes since nineteen ninety six. I’m not mad. I just wish you would get his facts right about me. Dang. I guess I’ll send him a reminder text.
But we sure that’s Kat Williams. He looks a lot like Charleston White. Charleston White is a fifty three year old YouTuber and comedian who I was unfamiliar with until five minutes ago. And the joke’s not funny. Lavelle Crawford waged in and said, I think Kat he’s just gonna talk.
He’s one of those cats man. He ain’t afraid of nobody. He says what’s on his mind, and he probably had some confrontations. You got to remember, the more the money go up in your life, the more the spike comes out of other people. And if you all on the same scene.
See the one thing about black entertainers, we think it’s only one bag. We don’t even understand. And that’s all these beefs come up when talked about his experiences, and some of it might be far fetched. It might be that some of it’s comedy. You know, he’s a comedian, you’d be thinking everything he says it’s beef.
And some of the stuff he’s probably got beef with. He knows these people. Median is that he named. When you chime in on stuff just makes it more valid. You know, if it ain’t true, you know, all the money you got and all the blessings you got why you’re going on Instagram saying Oh, that ain’t true, that ain’t true.
You’re making yourself look guilty. TMZ caught my attention with the headline trick Daddy to Kat Williams, mention me come a Ricky Smiley again and facal meat fist. The Miami rap legend hopped on Instagram to defend his friend Ricky Smiley. I watched the video trick Daddy’s in a car. I noticed there’s a beeping sound that I usually associate with someone driving a car without a seatbelt on, but I’m not sure.
I don’t want to share the video as I want everyone to get along, so you can check out trick Daddy’s Instagram. Charles Barkley referenced Kat Williams on Inside the NBA he was getting into it with Shack. They were arguing about the qualities of an NBA championship team. Shack tried to bring Kenny Smith on his side of the debate, and Barkley said, Kenny can agree with you, dumbass. Shaq said, dumbass got four, meaning four NBA championships to Barkley’s nun how many you got?
Barkley shot back riding on Kobe’s and Dwayne Wade’s coattails. Don’t maybe call Kat Williams on your ass?
And then he said, Okay, Kat, go get a fun, fun fun other news.
I will deal with the Golden Globes tomorrow. On Saturday night, Pete Davidson was scheduled to perform at fox Woods. I’m recording this on Sunday, and as I prepped the show, I don’t see any indication that Pete Davidson did not perform at fox Woods. So hopefully everything’s on track with Pete. Let you know a random thought that I keep forgetting to share.
Hey, remember that Kevin Hart Chris Rock special on Netflix that kind of came and went and had no buzz right other than the initial press of the day or two. I don’t think that made any impact at all other than with Kat Williams. Congratulations to Weird Al. Weird the Al Yankovic Story won the award for Outstanding TV Movie at the twenty twenty three Creative Arts Emmys. Weird beat out Fire Island, Prey, Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, and Focus Pocus II.
Weird Al is now halfway to having egot status. That’s an Emmy Grammy. Oscar and Tony al said it only took me forty years, and another forty years I’ll be there. Are you familiar with the film The Day the Clown Cried? Jerry Lewis stars as a clown in a concentration camp performing for children.
It was never released. Well, it may screen in public for the first time. The Day the Clown Cried was shot in nineteen seventy two, never released. I’ve seen clips here and there, and a recreation. It is definitely bizarre.
Several years before Jerry died in twenty seventeen, a copy was given to the Library of Congress in the United States, with an agreement it could not be screened in any capacity until twenty twenty four. The film tells the story of a German circus clown who’s imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp for mocking Adolf Hitler and then is forced to lure children to their deaths as punishment, Starring Jerry Lewis as clown Helmut dork do r K. Lewis showed it to some friends and colleagues in private over the years. Harry Shearer back in nineteen ninety two told Spy magazine that he watched the rough cut and branded it a perfect object. In twenty thirteen, footage of Jerry Lewis showed up on YouTube in which Jerry says it was bad.
It was bad because I lost the magic. No one will ever see it because I’m embarrassed at the poor work and in awkward segues. The Washington Post wrote about TikTok comedians Nimish Patel’s been getting a lot of press lately, and he asked his audience, who’s here because of TikTok and tells The Washington Post, the first thing I noticed was the diversity. It was eye opening thing that this platform for all the evils I’m sure lurk behind the scenes. It’s made comedy a lot more accessible to people who would never go to a comedy show otherwise.
Wendy Curtis owns Comedy Works in Denver and is quoted as saying we absolutely see audiences who haven’t been here before. When a comics agent inquires about booking her club, her staff will first check the comics following on social media as an indicator whether or not they can sell out the club. Curtis like social media clips because anywhere they send or use the clip, there’s my name in the bad that’s my brand and logo. They also talked about Sam Morrell, who try to get people in twenty eighteen to watch his special on Comedy Central. Sam said it was like speaking another language because some people don’t consume entertainment like that.
It wasn’t until Comedy Central posted a clip from a special on Instagram that he gained new followers, so he started doing the same. He posted his third special on YouTube as quote an Active Desperation, and then clips from his club performances on Instagram. Sam says, when you’re building an audience, you have to make it as easy as possible for people to find you. But Warren’s about feeding the algorithm. If you base your comedy around the algorithm, you’re doomed.
You have to do what you think is good for comedy, not think about the sharing. Mark Maren has put his house on sale, you know, the one where he records the podcast. According to b n N Mark’s Highland Park, Spanish bungalows on the market for seven hundred and forty nine thousand dollars. That doesn’t seem like a lot of money. I thought Mark would have a more expensive place.
He’s got a famous apartment. Therapy dot com tells us the comfortable, mid century to core clad stucco home, built in nineteen twenty seven, features a refreshingly normal byelebrity standards, if perfectly appointed nine hundred and thirty two square feet, full of vintage character and sure that listing gave the address which I won’t share, and had a link, but the listing was gone last time I checked.
