Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. So other stuff goes on in late night. Sometimes an episode of late night television is just an episode of late night television. The Late night guys had fun with the President’s adventures on the escalator the other day at the un Did you see that the president stepped on an escalator and it immediately stopped?
And some people are saying there’s a big conspiracy. Jordan Klepper said, are we going all in on the president being a victim of escalator sabotage because the deep state wants him to get his steps in? That’s a great joke, Jimmy Kimmel said, So to recap. Trump will not release the Epstein files, but we will be doing a thorough investigation into who stopped his escalator. Jimmy Fallon said, the White House is now looking into who would have a grudge against Trump, and so far they’ve narrowed it down to one hundred and eighty nine countries.
It could rip fallon, but sometimes the stuff’s really good fallon again. I mean, the whole thing was a headache for Trump, but even worse, he couldn’t take any tail and all done. Jimmy Fallon for the win.
Speaking of Jimmy Fallon for the win, guess who was going to be on The Tonigh…
Very exciting late night heating up. That will do quite the number. It’s been a busy week. I didn’t get to tell you about Louis C.K. Appearing on THEO Vaughn’s podcast, THEO Vaughn, apparently not the best interviewer in the world.
Theovaughn said, you had, like, you know, this is when things had gotten kind of crazy in your career with accusations and all types of stuff and accurate accusations. Yeah, they’re accurate, he admitted it. Even Louis C.K. Laughed at that question and said, accurate accusations. You may recall in twenty seventeen, Louis C.K.
Admitted multiple sexual miscontact allocations against him were true. C K admitted he had done some self happiness in front of women. Many of the women were in a disadvantage power situation with c K, who admitted at the time, the power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. C K Teltiolevonne he felt free when it came to light.
I haven’t been able to listen to Theo’s podcast yet, it’s been super busy with the Kimmel stuff. Luis c K explained, when life’s that up for you, when it gets torn up, it’s relief. That’s why I felt free, because I try to manage these problems I hadn’t sighed me for so many years. You’re trying to piece together that broken mirror and cutting your fingers. That’s beautiful, it’s true.
And when lifet up for you, when it gets torn up, it’s relief. That’s why I felt free, you know, because I try to manage these problems I had in sided me for so many years, and I try to feel like I was a normal person. I thought of as a good person. But I was doing stuff in the background of my life that I was ashamed of. I was hurting other people and trying to tell myself I wasn’t.
You know those things on the edge, like using another person but you got their permission first. You’re still using another person. You’re not being with them, you’re using them. That took me a long time to learn about that stuff. But you’re doing that stuff and creating more and more problems.
They just keep getting bigger and bigger.
And then the worst thing is if you’re having a good life that’s successful, b…
I think some of the early versions of talking on stage really honestly, we’re me trying to get out and say I’m corrupt. I want everyone to know it, right, I’m a corrupt file all that like, you can’t manage it. And so when you’re in front of the world and that’s going on side of you, it’s like, hell, I look at that as like God’s hands or whatever you want to call it. That was just like a good caring thing that said, dude, you need to stop. You need out of all this.
Cek explains how sharing his story in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous has helped other peoples seek. Said, when I go into meeting in person, there’s a guy who’s really hurting, his life’s fed up, and I approach him and he’s not sure about being in the program and he goes, oh, I ruined my life, and I go, do you know who I am? And he goes yeah, and I go, I’m doing pretty good, buddy. The fact that my wreckage could be a mountain for folks to lean on take a little load off, that’s a beautiful gift. So that’s a must listen, right.
That’s on this past weekend with Theo Vaughn. And if you want to go see Louis C.K. He’ll be performing at the re Odd Comedy Festival alongside many of your other favorite comedians. Bill Burr opened up the Reodd Comedy Festival last night. Dave Bell’s going to be there, a lot of people going to be there.
The Telegraph wrote about the Rio To Comedy Festival, and they wrote much about the festival will be surreal. Many of the comics have made a virtue of saying the unsayable. Jimmy Carr has described himself as a free speech absolutist, while Dave Chappelle once said comedians have responsibility to speak recklessly. The Telegraph says even the setting is odd. It takes place in Riodd’s Boulevard City Entertainment District, a soulless ersatz version of New York with a Times Square inspired piazza given the creative name of Square.
The Telegraph points out, despite their public boasting of being willing to say the unsayable, the highest profile comics on the Bill appear uncharacteristically reluctant to publicize the fact that they’re taking the Saudi money. Let me go to Bill Burr dot com. I’m actually recording this prior to Bill’s appearance. I’m on Bill Burr dot com. Let’s see.
We’ve got a nice picture of Bill Burr playing looks like Fenway, Yes, definitely Fenway Park. Here we’ve got a little embedded version of his podcast. Let’s see on the bottom here tour dates. Let me click on the tour day. Well, to be fair to Bill Burr, he’s got two dates listed.
One of them is the Reod Comedy Festival. So Bill Burr’s not hiding it, just trying to be fair here, The Telegraph says, neither Jimmy Carr nor Jack Whitehall have mentioned that they’re going to be in the Middle East on their touring websites or social media accounts. Let me go to see Jimmy Carr’s website. I’m a big fan of Jimmy Carr. Jimmy Carr official website.
So there’s a pull down menu for Laughs Funny Tour, and it has four things I could click on. Australia and New Zealand. Well, Riodd’s not there, Usa, Riodd’s not there, UK and Ireland Riodd’s not there, and Europe Riodd’s not there. Which of these would he have his date in? I guess Europe would be the closest.
Let me click on that. Jimmy’s got some dates in June of twenty twenty six listed, So yeah, I mean maybe Jimmy thinks it’s a little far and his fans won’t be able to make it all the way to Reodd. Who knows. Here’s a session called deep Dive, some sort of blog. This is the car Tail Carr hyphen tail telling you everything about Jimmy Carr.
Let’s see the posts here at the Fackham Hall release date, Penguin Obsession, William Florida, Michael Malice twenty twenty five when Heckle’s backfire. Nope, I’m not seeing it anyway. I digress. The telegraphs say some comics on the B list and below have been more forthcoming. Pete Davidson told Theovon this week.
Oh I missed this. I’m learning this as you’re learning this. Pete Davidson told Theovon this week he had been getting a little bit of flack for performing in Riod just because my father died. On nine to eleven, Pete explained, I get the routing and I see the number meaning the fee, and I go, I’ll go all right. If Pete’s okay with it, I’m okay with it.
Shane Gillis said he turned down a significant fee. Shane’s logic is you don’t nine to eleven your friends, Jim Jeffries telling Theovon last month. Now people have been going, oh, how dare you go over there? After they killed a reporter that was the big one. There’s been a reporter who they killed.
You don’t think our governments bump people? Oh? I think Jeffrey Epstein was bumped off. The Telegraph says although the comics have been willing to talk about going to Saudi, have been coy about whether their material will be vetted. There are signs that the Saudi regime does not want and it’s paid for comics to dive too far into controversial topics, Tim Dillon being disinvited being a possible example of that.
A Middle East expert spoke to the Times of London and I said, I don’t think the Saudis will explicitly tell the comedians what not to joke about, but they would assume they have the sense not to make fun of God or the monarch or say something very sexually explicit. The expert says, at worst, I think he can accuse some of the comedians of hypocrisy. They criticized for their freedom of speech. Beat kurtailed in their eyes while taking money from regime. The Curtail’s freedom of speech for both its population and those visiting.
Dustin rolls for Pajeeba rights. When Shing Gillis takes the high road over Bill Burr dot dot dot, Dustin says, I’m not sure why I direct most of my iy are at Bill Burr, who opened the festival on Friday night, over the other comedians attending the Riad Comedy Festival, which includes Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Jeff Ross, Bobby Lee, Chris Tucker, Tom Segura, Jessica Kurson, Hannibal Burr’s as heasin’ sorry, Pete Davidson and Whitney Cummings and some others skipping ahead. I think that is choosing to accept a huge page to help whitewash the Saudi royal family feels more antithetical to Bill Burr’s ethos. Here’s a guy who regularly blasts the hypocrisy of both sides of the political spectrum, but apparently doesn’t hesitate to take money from a country responsible for egregious human rights violations. For a festival that starts this weekend, there’s been surprisingly little coverage, which is probably you know, these comedians prefer it final night of JFL Toronto, just for laughs Toronto, the Toronto Comedy Festival.
So after tonight, if we want to see our favorite comedians, we might have to go to Riod, but tonight we can just go to Toronto. Even Finance is at seven o’clock. Fabruzzio Capano also at seven. That show is in Spanish, Maria Bamford in English at the Bluma Appel Theater at seven. Pat Thornton is at the Comedy Bar Cabaret at eight thirty, and I see his headshot.
He’s wearing headphones, not even AirPods, but actual headphones. Genius Sheer at nine o’clock. You remember she was in the news recently. The Standard, a British newspaper, had published on sixteen September. They wrote, Genius Shears said that the conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University quote got what he had advocated for because he opposed gun controls.
Genius Shears show tonight is sold out. Most of the shows I’ve spoken about, I’ve only seen one or two full on sold outs, But Genius Sheer at the Bluer Comedy Bar tonight at nine pm is sold out.
And then at ten o’clock Pat Thornton, whose headshot shows him still wearing …
And that is the Toronto Comedy Festival. Adam Pally will debut his first ever comedy special in Intimate Evening with Adam Pally HBO nine o’clock Friday, October seventeenth. Right, I’m learning here, So the Friday night HBO slot seems where the Caleb hearings and the Adam Pally’s go and is not the prestige traditional Saturday ten PM slot that say a mark Marin would get. So we’ll see if this is a kin to a YouTube special, which is how I felt about Caleb’s or what this is anyway. And the special, which is said to be equal parts stand up documentary and rock concert Adam Pally plays with the Truth and his guitar and a one time only performance.
Pally said the specials made out of a deep desire to make something anything at all, and he couldn’t be prouder of it, and grateful to HBO for giving me an incredible platform to make people laugh, play music, and tell some Bubba meeisters. And the show is super serious in the first half, So let’s do something goofy.
Speaking of goofyreltor dot com it took a look at Adam Sandler and they say A…
Says the guy recording a podcast in his basement. Realtor dot Com must have typed Adam Sandlor into the AI, which spit out a biography of sorts. We learn of at least some of Sandler’s holdings in two thousand and one. Adam Sandler bought a three point one million dollar, three thousand square foot home in Malibu, built in nineteen forty seven. Both three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an enclosed that fits up to one hundred guests.
That’s a big deck one hundred guests. There are also twenty five foot glass walls that offer panoramic views of the ocean. So if I were Adam Sailor, I’d be making a happy Gilmore three. But in twenty twenty two, the Sailors bought another Pacific Baalisades home, this one for four point eight million dollars. Realtor dot com tells us that one three bedrooms, two bathrooms, It’s on a cul de sac.
It’s a ranch with wood shingles, blue shutters, and crown molding. Sounds nice, But I’d hang out with the Malibu place, wouldn’t you. Yeah? Anyway, that’s your comedy news on a Saturday, and sure your weekend back in the morning or you never know when a bonus episode breaks out, But I don’t have any plans to do one. You never know, see you tomorrow, I guess.
