Calorokashark Media. Kind of busy into a holiday weekend. I’m kind of stunned, to be honest, I I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Three specials announced on Thursday. First up, my friend Larry the Cable Guy.
He’s gonna have It’s a gift on Amazon Prime Video Friday, September twelfth, and the hour long special filmed in Clearwater, Florida, Cable Guy takes on everything from family life and aging to the everyday absurdities of modern living. I’m excited about this one. There’s a short trailer and it’s pretty strong. Let’s listen my show. By the Ways, Pet thirteen.
Uh, pretty good for thirteen minutes. But if you’re offended at some of the good news is I got a money back guarantee, so I guarantee it. He ain’t gonna get your money back, all right, That’s how it’s gonna be. Larry’s a good dude. I know some people just like to hate on It’s an act.
He’s just having fun with the character. Please can we just laugh at stuff?
Also coming out on that same day on Hulu.
Despite the hilarious publicist trying to hide this from Me My Spy Network has found out Andrew Santino will have a special called White Noise. They did share a trailer. I went to pull the audio and I’m not going to play it for two reasons. One the punchline for the first joke is dirty, and two there’s a joke about guns in there, and coming off the school shooting this week, I just didn’t want to play it. In the forty five second trailer, Santino jokes about taking his dad to a Monday night football game and his dad drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
There’s a punchline that’s a little naughty. I did a version of this with me trying to clean it up, and I just totally ruined the joke. So just wait till the twelfth and watch Andrew Santino yourself rather than butcher his material. White Noise on Ulu also announced Leanne Morgan Unspeakable Things Netflix November fourth. Apparently they like Leanne Morgan just had her sitcom and come out on Netflix in late July.
No details yet on what Unspeakable Things is about. From WRG District Attorney Matthew Barton has shared some details on the shooting death of comedian Reggie Carroll. District Attorney Barton said police were called to the house on Burton Lane around six point thirty last Wednesday. First responders performed life saving measures on Carrol, who was taking in the hospital. The suspect was at the scene.
We learned both the victim and suspect were roommates in the house. Both had worked on tour with Kat Williams. The DA said Kat Williams did not own the house. It is owned by a rental company. The DEA said this was an incident between two roommates that knew each other.
One of them is from California and one of them is from Maryland. This is not an indication that there’s a problem in the community. This is not indicative of a violent crime issue in our city. And he made clear there was no indication Cat Williams was there or had any knowledge or involvement. This next story just caught me seriously.
I had finished recording the episode, and the term in the industry is you bounce the files, so that you take the raw recording and then you bounce it to edit it. I was at the bounce stage and I checked my email and this just in as I speak to you. Michael Longfellow is leaving Saturday Night Live, so I guess he’s not taking over the news desk. Entertainment Weekly has learned Longfellow, who’s been with SNL for three years, will not be back. That’s fascinating because he was rumored to be getting the desk.
Who even knows what’s happening. But I’m glad I caught that before the holiday, because I already have Saturday and Sunday recorded. I haven’t done Monday yet, so I would have gotten this in on Monday. Anyway, if you work at Late Later dot com and you thought you were taking this week off, how did that go for you? I teased this yesterday.
Joe Coy went to see Ozzy Osbourne’s last show. He said, we were backstage, bro. It was incredible. Turns out a lot of people in the Osbourne camp are huge fans of Joe Koy. Coy, his son, his manager, and Missus Koy were given three rooms backstage to just chill out in.
Coy said it was rock and roll heaven with members of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Alison Chains and others just hanging out. He stayed for the entire event. He showed up at eleven am and stayed until the early hours of the morning. Joe said, I know what it’s like about selling out arenas. I’ve been there before, but this was a different night.
These musicians all have their own egos, but that night they were all there to see their God for them. It was like, this is the reason we do this, this is the reason why we’re here. That was the attitude backstage. Nobody was plause, nobody was being cool. I looked to my right and there’s Metallica right there watching.
I saw Kelly Osbourne being proposed to, which was so crazy. It was an amazing moment, and that’s what my son took home from it. You couldn’t have scripted it better. You couldn’t have scripted this better. That’s the way I think any artist, or anyone in entertainment would love to go out.
But I’ve said it before when someone asks I’m not going to retire, I love to die on stage, man. I love it so much. I don’t see myself ever going. If I can get up, I want to be on stage, mister beast. Catching grief from fans of comedian Caleb Heron, You see Rolling Stone put out a list of the twenty five most influential creators of twenty twenty five.
Mister Beast finished seventh, Caleb Hearn ranked sixth. Mister Beast tweeted, according to this list, guy of a million followers is more influential than me. What did I do to tick off the Rolling Stones? Well, that didn’t go over well on the social media’s one Twitter user at Diabolical Spuds posted to his thirty thousand followers, mister Beast, I cannot respond directly because you blocked me, but I wanted you to know that Caleb is a comedian who makes many laugh at you or some sort of Willy Wonka marionette being puppeted by the algorithm. Mister Beast has now backpedaled.
He tweeted, not gonna lie after this. I watched some of here on stuff and it’s actually good. I deleted the tweet and I don’t want the smoke from the shooters. Spare me, please. Paullie Sure posted on Instagram and revealed he had a tumor removed from his Pancreas Polly explained, about three months ago, I went in for a preventative scan in Los Angeles where they scan your body from head to toe.
They checked for tumors, cancer, aneurysms, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, you name it. Being my fifties, I thought it was the right thing to do. A week later they called me with the results. They noticed something in my abdominal area was a tumor inside my pancreas luckily was noncancerous. It might have been there for fifteen or twenty years.
Doctor said, get it out. PAULI said, mentally, it really messed with me. Knowing there was a tumor inside me could grow, burst, turn into something worse. You just don’t know. I’ve always been on top of my health, going to the gym, using saunas, massages, having my tea check, doing blood work, colonoscopes, chiropractor, et cetera.
But I’ve never done a full body scan. I had no symptoms. This was me just following my instincts. Mac packer Keegan Michael Key has some travel tips in case you’re traveling this holiday weekend. Keegan told people, if you think you’re overpacking, you’re not.
You’re gonna feel so good when you’re in the hotel and go oh, I forgot the h wait a minute, No, I didn’t. It’s in the second bag. Everybody says you only need one bag, but the second bag full of miscellaneous stuff, you always end up needing something from it. He has one simple rule. Always bring extra socks, an extra underwear.
There’s going to be a day where you’re like, oh, I didn’t know where we’re going on that hike. Then you come to the hotel all sweaty and think, I’m so glad I packed that extra underwear. I totally disagree with this. I went to Australia with a carry on pack light. If you know what you’re doing your stuff, you’re underwearing your socks and your shoes.
You roll your t shirts. Hey, you know what, if you’re cold, you buy a sweatshirt when you’re there. That’s all. You’re not gonna go through all your socks. You’ll be okay.
Keegan says, pack the night before. Yeah, no kidding. This is something I’ve changed about myself. I used to try to get more sleep and pack in the morning, but now we do everything at night. Literally, the last thing we do is take out the garbage and zip up the bags.
Variety caught up with Oscar Nuniaz you know him as Oscar Martinez from the Office and now from the spin off, The Paper, which is out in less than a week. We learned that a year ago, Oscar and Nuniez went to lunch with Greg Daniels, the guy that developed the American version of the Office. Daniels told him, I’m working on a new show. How wold you feel about coming back his Oscar Nunia said, I’m game, of course. Eventually, Daniel took Nuniaz to meet the writers.
Nunya’s remembers thinking, oh no, this is really happening. On Thursday, Peacock will drop for some reason. All ten episodes of The Paper, It follows the staff of a struggling local newspaper in Ohio and an eager new editor in chief hoping to breathe life into a medium. I saw a scene last night. I want to like this thing, and I’m sure I’m gonna watch this thing.
I saw a scene they released on Threads and I didn’t make it to the end of the scene. I don’t know if I’m just a cranky pants or whatever. Spoilers for the first episode, Oscar, the character is dismayed to find the same documentary crew that stalked him in Scranton, prowling around his new workplace. In the first episode, he tells a camera man, you can’t use my voice by likeness my face nothing. A title card says, yes we can.
There’s no end date on the release. Oscar signed in two thousand and five. That’s funny comedy stock markets all right. Originally I was gonna suggest that we sell will short sell our stock in the paper, but I’ve changed my mind because as I’m thinking about it, you know what’s gonna happen. They’re gonna drop ten episodes all at once, which means it’s going to do better in the way they compute streaming metrics, because it’ll run up a lot of minutes.
But I think this thing is gonna out. So let’s buy the paper, but plan on selling it pretty quickly. I have no confidence in this show. Let’s make a quick buck on the paper. Let’s sell stock in Kat Williams.
I know Kat Williams had nothing to do with the story from the first half, but his name’s in the news, and not in a good way. He didn’t do anything wrong, but people get emotional about such things. Let’s sell our Cat Williams stock. Let’s buy Larry the Cable Guy. I believe in Cable Guy.
I know the Cable Guy, and I’m hoping we’ll get a Larry renaissance here and people be like, Oh, yeah, cable Guy’s really funny because he is. Let’s also buy some Andrew Santino stock. The casuals will be like, oh, that guy’s good. And I love Andrew Santino’s stand up. I think he’s really good.
I think he’s very charismatic. I think the camera likes him. So let’s load up on some Andrew Santino and one more for you. We bought some Jonathan Kite stock last week. Let’s buy some more Jonathan Kite stock.
Because this impression of Anthony Bourdain in the latest episode, Jonathan kitees Anthony boardin visit. It’s the Cracker Barrel. Let’s listen. Cracker Barrel a house divided not by Johnny rab and Yankee Candle, but rather heritage and home goods, where the front porch is the front line, and the only thing bipartisan is breakfast served all day. And at the heart of the backlash, a Sanitize rebrand with a new logo that looks like it was designed during a free trial of Canva.
The last time America was this upset over cracker barrels was Sidney Sweeney’s American Eagle Jeans campaign. Look how long we are into a holiday weekend? This is amazing? Are you in Philadelphia? It’s the Eoadrian Improv Festival.

Festival organizing Committee chairman and comedian Kim John, who said, Quak Bayum and Chang Ho, those guys used to perform pretty much as unknowns, but after gaining popularity through YouTube as a platform and building a bit of fandom for their team, they started doing live shows and they were incredibly popular, with tickets selling out in about five minutes.
That’s right, people cannot get enough of Quakbaym and Chang Ho. It’s the Busan International Comedy Festival kicking off tonight and from the South China Morning Post, You’re home for comedy news. American comedian Sammy Obeid has accused Singaporean authorities of trying to censor his stand up show after his performance scheduled for Sunday was canceled. Officials say the permit was rejected because the application was too late. Sammy’s material often criticizes Israel’s actions in Gaza.
He claimed in a social media post that Singapore’s infocom Media Development Authority, or the IMDA as most people would refer to it, as asked for multiple edits to a script before approving an arts entertainment license. The agency denied requesting any changes and said the application was submitted too close to the show to be processed. Obiide, who is Lebanese Palestinian American, set on social media that putting on a stand up comedy show in Singapore was quote extremely difficult and that he submit a script for approval was happy to follow the process for his more than one thousand fans in the city state in Singapore says the SCMP an Arts Entertainment License is required for public performances including feeder dance, art exhibitions, literary readings and stand up comedy. O. Biid said he was well aware of script was unlikely to get approval and he was willing to tone down the material.
In his social media post, Sammy said, so I aired on the side of caution and submitted a heavily censored script that only referenced to Palestine a few times and mentioned Israel once during a math joke. I thought this was very generous considering reality, and to be honest, didn’t feel great about it. Why are you bothering? You have one thousand fans in Singapore. Are they all going to the show?
Or ten percent of your fans going? So one hundred people were gonna go to the show. Why do you even bother why are you even trying to do a show in Singapore. That’s your comedy news for today, little opinion there at the end, normal shows all weekend and on Monday as well. I’ve got plenty, which is awesome.
I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend. You know, Johnny Mac likes this summer Labor Day weekend. I start to freak out my local town. They do a thing on Memorial Day, July fourth and Labor Day. And at the Memorial Day one, I’m like, huh so much summer left.
The July fourth one, I start to freak out because I’m just that’s how I am. The Labor Day one, I’m like, oh, Summer’s over see tomorrow
