Caloroga Shark Media. Did we not do a roast of Tom Brady last year? Do people really not understand what the roast is? Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. I thought today it was going to be all about Date Berghezzi and the Breadwinner, but Kevin Hart and people had other ideas.
Kevin Hart went on the Breakfast Club and spoke with the Charlottmage, the God and Crewe have a few clips from Kevin Hart himself. Here he is discussing the joke about George Floyd. Yeah, the Joyce flore joke. It wasn’t a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience. But our audience that’s watching the roast.
If you’re watching the roast, you get why they’re doing it. You get why the racial humor is is on the table. Like it’s not. I wasn’t shocked, Like that’s what they do. Go and look at the Tom Brady one, like that’s what they do.
It’s it happens every year when they do a roast. It’s not new. This isn’t a new it’s not a new agenda. It’s not a new approach to comedy. Do you feel like Tony Hinchcliffe went too far when he made that joke about George Woff.
It’s Tony Hinchcliffe, Like, I don’t like I don’t expect less, I don’t expect more. I feel I feel like you’re saying going too far as the point I don’t know if it was, yes, I mean, that’s why you’re there. Kevin’s response did not go so well on social media. When person said things can be zero percent your fault and one hundred percent your responsibility. Another said wow, yeah, Kevin, you lost me with this one.
You could have been honest and said, yes, he went too far with that joke. Kevin said, Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set or one of the best sets. Pete Davidson had a great set too. But that but not even just that joke. I don’t like when people joke about violent tragic death.
I like Pete sitting and I was like, you have to say, I mean Pete, Pete went. Pete had a great set too. Pete had a Charlie Kurk joking Like would I tell those jokes? No? But do I get why they’re being told?
Yes, Like I’m not looking at Pete crazy I’m not looking at Tony like that’s what. I know what you’re going to do. I know your style of comedy. Kevin said, whatever the dialogue is, my rebuttal is simplicity. Remove me from it.
I didn’t say it. If you’re upset that the night went on, that’s a different conversation. It’s nothing I could do. It’s a production. Tony Hinchcliff discussed the roast unkilled Sony, so I’m edit’s here for language.
Evan Hart was something else. Huh, it’s the first time I’ve been called a Nazi multiple times in just a few hours. I guess that’s what la writers’ rooms, all these a lot of mentally ill liberals out there that somehow, with all these blacks and Jews and Mexicans around me, I guess I’m a Nazi somehow. I guess the guy that pulls names out of a bucket, giving everybody an opportunity is a Nazi. Isn’t that something?
And I got called a Nazi, gay, a racist, and over again. I’m none of those three things. A little fun fact, but they are what they are, fat ugly black Jewish. Everything I said was real about them, just a reminder. And Tony doesn’t seem none too pleased with Chelsea Handler.
There’s news articles because the news isn’t real. Nothing is real that say that I got lit up by Chelsea Handler, which is very, very funny because that’s not what happened at all. You can’t believe anything you see or read on the news anymore. You have to actually watch the thing for yourself. She was a bit of a coup, I’ll tell you that.
She just kept she just kept coming at me over she said, I went took the Saudi Arabia money. She was like wrong about things. The writers just didn’t do her any justice. But then and then the teleprompter. The fun fact the teleprompter h only went down during my set, and and it gave me a lot of opportunity to remind Chelsea Handler what she looks like and where her life.
Is Hollywood inside her established comedian Nikki Glaser, whose career was made by the Tom Brady Roost Wade in and Uh, you can hear the coolness sucking out of the room for Nicky Glazer, establishment comedian. I loved watching it. I love anything that’s like watching a live comedy event. It’s so the stakes are so high. It’s I was glad to be watching it not doing it, because it’s just like it’s nerve wrecking and it’s like it really sends your nervous system through a lot of trauma to do one of.
Those just got a little PTSD watching. Honestly, I was like so nervous for everyone. But I honestly had a great time. And you know, there was some stuff that I didn’t love, and there was other stuff that I thought was great. You know, like people have so many opinions about it, and I’m going to keep my opinions to myself and just keep talking about them in my group chats with by other comedian friends about who what we think about it, And I’m not gonna make a public okay.
But tell me who’s on that group chat, what other comedian. Just like the funniest people I know in town. And you know, oh, just I’ve talked to every comedian about it. Everyone’s talking about and that’s the good thing, you know, like Netflix did a good job of making something that is And the thing about like I don’t believe that jokes can’t be made that are racist jokes, ironically racist jokes, though the problem is not that it’s racist. Is that it’s like sometimes you got to find a way.
If you really want to do a joke, you got to find a way to make it make sense. You can’t just like say it and out of nowhere just be like this, you know. I think that’s the thing that I feel like. I think that’s what people are having a problem with. Is not like the nature of the jokes, because I do love roast for how anything can be said in all all bets are off and but you but that’s not so easy.
You have to make it palatable. Matt Rife was at the ACM Awards on the red carpet. He was asked, did you watch the Kevin Hart roast. Matt Raife said, I didn’t get a chance to the entire thing, but I mean my feed is obviously filled with clips from it, and I think everybody on there crushed it. Dude.
It was brutal, but as a roast should be. The interviewer was like, but so some people have complained about parts of it. Matt cut them off and said, shut up, then don’t watch it. It’s a roast. Everybody there is gonna be made fun of.
It’s supposed to push the boundaries of all forms of comedy. For a roast, it’s supposed to be mean spirited, but you don’t actually mean it. Everyone there loves each other. Now our other topic today, Nate Bergazzi’s The Breadwinner is out. You’re probably listening to this while online.
Outside the theater. There’s probably lines around the block. People can’t get enough of it. Variety has their review, their headline The Breadwinter Review. Nate Berghazzi bumbles through a domestic comedy that thinks incompetent dads are still funny.
Spoilers The film’s second echoes a little like this. Nate trips on the stairs while doing laundry. Nate burns the toast during breakfast. Nate crashes the car while distracted during school drop off. An array of familiar comedy phases clog up the film’s periphery, including Colin jostas Connor, the town seemingly only others stay at home, Dad and Cameil Nanciani Jesus Peyton, a competing Toyota salesman.
Both funk essentially is extrastential fluff. Jose leans on his punchable persona as Connor, while non Jehanny’s running joke hangs on Peyton’s muscle bound physique. The big problem with The Breadwinner isn’t its sense of humor, but it’s confused message. The film begins with the division of labor that, however much it resembles a mid century sitcom, appears to work well for both Nate and Katie. So why during Nate’s inevitable third act moral of the story speech, does he insist that his month at home has been the best of his life.
Meanwhile, I’ve been sitting on this one until today. The Wall Street Journal wrote about the theme park. Now, before we even get into this, I pulled some clips here. Here’s what people on the internet are saying about the theme park idea. At Captain Kathleen wrote, does anybody beside Nate actually want this?
That’s how I feel about this drink. Jena Aide said, I was okay with it until he named it after himself. Sorry, no, Jennifer Sturger wrote, plays roller coaster Tycoon once dot dot dot Chris Ramirez Ford takes some real narcissism to build your own nameland, to chronicling your life. Let’s see what the Journal learned lear from Nate Brighetzi about this, the journal tells us. To help make Nateland happen, The comedian convince his neighbor to be a chief executive.
Felix Vertigius was a partner at consulting firm KPMG before Nate poached him. They hired a lobbyist and started wooing wealthy and powerful people around Nashville for support. They contracted with Storyland Studios, a California firm filmed by a lums of Disney Universal Studios in Legoland to design the park. Nate’s team picked a site in the Nashville metro, secured most of the land through an investor, but declined to make the location public before negotiations are complete. Tax incentives have been identified for the project, which has state and local support.
According to authorities involved, they’ll start raising capital this summer.
All right, here’s the still evolving design.
Are you ready for this? You’re not. Visitors would enter through a nineteen nineties style mall. You heard me, I didn’t misspeak. The area, based on Nate’s local lore, would include coasters and a donkey dive ride inspired by one of his jokes.
The New York section Ooh tell me more. Would have street performers, live shows, and a ride through a simulated Times Square with the New Year’s eve Ball drop something I can tell you, actual New Yorkers hate all of those. You’re taking the worst of New York City and making a theme land about it. Okay. The third section would have stunt performances and interactive shows.
Nate wants to taper down from his arena tours and hopes Nate Land will switch up the transaction with audiences coming to him mistake, Nate says. The win for me will be when people go to Nateland and maybe don’t even know who Nate is. Good luck, sir. Mandy Moore is the co star of what is this The Breadwinner? Yes, it’s called The Breadwinner, She said.
I love this sort of celebration of moms and mom kind of being an entrepreneur and getting this incredibly unique opportunity in its own way. It’s like dad kind of switching roles and recognizing how much mom really does contribute to the house and keeping the ship righted. So I loved all of that. I don’t have that exact same experience in my life. I feel like my husband’s like a really good partner and a great dad and could pivot and figure out things in a way that I don’t worry about the kids or anything like that.
Heate said. The movie is go back to the classic family comedy movies that we all love. I think there’s a lack of entertainment that has made for entire families. There are so few movies where everyone of all ages can have a good laugh, so I decided to create one myself. This is a movie with characters everyone can relate to, and it gives families and friends a great reason to go to a theater for an excellent night out.
That’s not gonna happen. Man. People will watch this on streaming because he is popular and it’s mindless stuff you could throw on. You know, hey, wife, what should we watch to night?
All right, let’s watch this fine.
It’s one of those things no one will love but no one will hate. Nate gets that party says, you want us to have that ted Lasso effect where it’s a feel good story you can go back and watch again. We’re never gonna watch this movie twice, and that’s not happening. We’re gonna watch it once on streaming. Four months from now, Nate, the thing I think will help me with movies is now that I’ve traveled all over the country, I’ve done these jokes everywhere.
I’ve got a really good feeling to be like, hey, I think this will work. Because I’ve done a version of this everywhere, I kind of know what I feel like the country wants. You start realizing everybody’s a family, everybody goes through somewhat of the same things. He discussed the difference between acting and stand up comedy. Let’s stand up.
I very much prepare what I’m going to say and how I’m gonna say it, but you’re doing it live and doing SNL is the same aspects of doing a movie. I love the structure of being like you got to be here at this time, and this time you have someone telling you where to go. I really enjoyed that is untitled twenty nineteen TV pilot was not picked up. Nate said it was very frustrating. Steve Martin would always say, you gotta be undeniable that let me go down this path and be a stand up comedian.
I think what happened with the TV show is I talk about my family so much in my comedy was probably hard to recreate that. I don’t know if that show could have been as funny as what I talk about. I was frustrated during those eight years. But now, in hindsight, maybe they did have a point. Box office theory thinks this movie will make about sixteen million dollars this weekend high projection twenty three million.
Comedy stock Markets. Thank you, Burt Reynolds. Every week on the Comedy stock Marker, we take a look at the comedians. We try to find some value. Much like when you make money on stocks, we try and buy and sell high.
I don’t feel too strongly about anything this week. I’m wondering if we should sell Nate. Is this thing gonna work? I mean, part of me is scared that, like, people are gonna go out and see this thing, But I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem cool at all.
But maybe I’m a cool elitist to New Yorker sitting at a basement in New Jersey. I don’t know. Let’s sell Nate Pergatzy. We gotta be bold here. We’ll sell Nate Progatzy.
Let’s buy some Tony Hinchcliff. I think to use Nate’s word tony Hinchcliff is undeniable. I understand why some people don’t get it or choose to hate on Tony. But Tony’s just doing his kill Tony thing. He gets up on the roast, he kills.
He’s got a money making operation. It sells along just fine. Why not buy some Tony Hinchcliff and then two sells? All relates to the roast. Chelsea Handler is having just the worst two weeks.
Chelsea stopped talking the idea that a joke is worse than rape. I mean, listen to yourself, it’s a joke. It might be the worst joke ever told. It might be the most horrible thing ever said by anybody, but it was still a joke worse than rape. Sell Chelsea Handler, and let’s sell Nikki Glaser.
I just feel like all the cool is coming off Nikki Glaser. I think we all get who Nikki Glaser wants to be Amy Schumer, and she’s just going to keep going down that road. And I think she’s gonna shed some of the people who liked her in the past that I’m not sure Nicky’s gotta to pick up new people to replace those that she sheds. All right, So We’re gonna sell Nate buy, Tony sell, Chelsea sell NICKI. That is your comedy stock market for today.
I’m doing this one live. I haven’t looked at this at all at all. This was an email I got the other day. JFL Montreal sent out some more stuff. Let’s see Ashley Gavin’s gonna be a clipsode on the twenty fourth.
We have official dates for New Faces of Comedy Stand Up July twenty second and twenty third. That yep, as usual. That’s a Wednesday and Thursday. So if you’re looking for me, I’ll probably be in Montreal on the Wednesday night, if not. Both New Faces of Comedy characters on the twenty third.
Oh, this is interesting. New Faces of Comedy Stand Up Encore on the twenty fourth and twenty fifth. Maybe I go to that and then I can hang around for the free Weird Al show. That might be an interesting way to do things. We’ve also announce shows from Matty Kelly, Mark Watson, Janine Harooney and some local Montreal folks.
I’m looking forward to that. Just back off the London. I’m still dusting myself off, so I needs to plan my life a little bit. W Comal Bell has another podcast. This one is called Who’s with Me, inspired by his substack of the same name, Come Out.
