The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Fallon was joking about the spy balloon. He said, yeah, they were treking all our communications, including phone calls and text messages. The balloon was like, based on what we’ve gathered, we should invest in eggplants.
That’s really funny. Think about it. Fallon.
Meanwhile, AC and Seeds all their customers relax.
They can’t spy on you if you can’t get a signal. You know what I’m saying. Pretty good super Bowl? Huh did you see the ad for the roast of mister Peanut? Well, I went and watched the entire roast of Mister Peanut and I shared it in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group.
Can I tell you it’s eleven minutes long. It’s pretty funny. I actually have added it to my Top Funny Things of twenty twenty three list, and as I’ll tell you later on the pod and a Mark Marin’s new special, it’s pretty good. Nice job Jeff Ross and the team. Some YouTube commenters disagree with Johnny Mack.
One wrote, get waiting to laugh and then didn’t we have some world class comedians basic on themselves for g rated jokes. Another set a studio with thirty bad actors hysterically laughing at unfunny non jokes. Take it from a children’s book. I thought it was pretty good. There’s one joke in there that takes a shot at Jeff Ross that genuinely made me laugh.
Now, who’s on the roast of mister Peanut? Jeff Ross, Natasha Lajero, Otsko, Akatska who crushes trust me, Frank Castello, Yamanikasano’s David Lucas and Sarah Tiana. She was not good, but she’s last. They put this thing in the proper order. Jeff Ross comes up in the strong, Natasha strong, Otsko is strong, and then it starts to peter off a little bit.
But you’re roasting at Peanut. But I’ll tell you they captured the pacing. The laugh track that they added in worked. It’s paste right. The animation looks pretty good.
The Roast of Mister Peanut will make the End of the Year list. It’ll probably be the last thing on the list, but it made it. And did you notice Pete Davidson’s Super Bowl ad? No, not the one about the fridge, the one for Transformers, Rise of the Beasts. Yeah, Pete plays a transformer named Mirage who was a silver blue portion of nine sixty four with a very laid back Pete Davidson kind of attitude.
I bet he gets all the cars. Moon Tower. That’s a comedy Festival April twelfth through the twenty third. They have announced even more people coming to the show. The new headliners include Leslie Jones, Jenny Slate, Sam b Megan Statler, Patty Harrison, and Sarah Sherman.
Additional acts Jay Farrell, Randy Felt Face, He’s Fantastic, Matt Rife, Mikey Winfield, Mark Small, Judy Gold, Ashley Gavin Tonebell, Lisa Ann Walter, Dane Baptiste, Shalouis Sharp. I’m looking at the updated cover arts for the Moon Tower Comedy Festival. So in the Big Print Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Ben Schwartz and friends. Chelsea Lynn Google tells me. Chelsea Lynn is an American YouTuber, actress, and stand up comedian who began her internet career on the video sharing platform Vine as her character trailer trash Tammy.
She’s in the Big Prince.
Meanwhile, not in the Big Print.
This is smaller print, the likes of Brian Poissain and Joe List and Dana Goulden, the Sclar Brothers and a bunch of others. Anyway, there’s a lot of people on this poster and it’s a really fantastic festival. It’s getting bigger and bigger. It’s starting to feel a little bigger than Montreal. And I don’t say that lightly.
There’s a lot of people at this thing anyway, the Moon Tower Comedy Festival, and it is part of Just for Laughs with the same people to do Montreal. April twelfth through the twenty third. There was a kerfluffle at Sarah Silverman’s show the other night. This from TMZ. Sarah Silverman’s show in New Jersey got ugly before it even started.
An elderly black man was kicked out of the venue for protesting an infamous skit Sarah did more than fifteen years ago in blackface. The demonstrator is seventy one year old Michael B. Jackson. He bought a front row ticket to Sarah’s show on February four that the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City. He showed up in blackface.
He said his intent was a peaceful protest, but it created a big stir. According to Jackson, about twenty minutes into Sarah’s opener, Rory Albany’s Roy decided to address him. He claims that Rory incited the crowd, insulted and bullied him, and as security It’s Awesome out of the show, despite him saying he didn’t want to be part of the routine and sitting silently. Another source who was at the show claims that Jackson was heckling and was given a warning. Then a bunch of guards told Jackson a move into a balcony seat and he refused to move, and he pulled out his phone to record the interaction.
The video cuts out things that allegedly got physical. Jackson claims he ended up in the hospital after being attacked by several security guards, who he says forcibly removed him from his seat, carried him into a back hallway, dropped him down face down on the floor, and handcuffed him. A rep for the casino told TMZ Jackson only requested medical attention for anxiety after being evicted from the show, walking to his hotel room and coming back down the lobby. The casino says Jackson presented himself as offensive, and they have the right to remove or relocate anyone from the property and any time, the statement added. Ocean prides itself with both a diverse workplace and customer base.
According to Michael B. Jackson says to MZ, Sarah Silverman was behind it all. He said she had the security goons at the Ocean Resort casino and ac attacked me and rough me up. Bottom line for Jackson, Sarah Silverman feels it’s okay for her to wear black face, but no one else. TMZ ads.
Fans that were there say Sarah addressed the incident when she got on stage, explaining that he was protesting a skit from two thousand and seven and lin the audience now, she’d never do something like that today. We’re also told that if Jackson was still in the crowd, she would have apologized to him for the skit. Larry the Cable Guy upsets some people. He made a joke about Marjorie Taylor Green. He got some backlash on Twitter.
Cable Guy tweeted four photographs of Green heckling President Joe Biden. Larry tweeted, this pick reminds me of every comedian’s ex girlfriend coming the other show and sitting in the back six days after the breakup. That’s a funny joke. Some commenters thought Larry was attacking Green. Larry clarified he didn’t vote for Biden and it was not a political joke.
He added a fuller response via Twitter, This wasn’t a political joke. Unbelievable, lightening up. Some of you shesh. It was about a comedian get heckled by his ex at the club. She had all the gestures.
Some of you definitely don’t follow me, or you’d think twice on your dumb comments. Some more information about that Faulty Towers reboot. This one’s gonna be set on an elite Caribbean island, according to John Clees. He said, Basil Faulty will now be running a small bijou hotel which welcomes very rich guests. Much more fun and much more different if it’s say a Caribbean island or something like that, with a small bijou hotel with a few very rich people coming to stay.
If you put it in the Caribbean, it becomes very multi racial. People in the hotel business come from everywhere, so he can bring lots of different people together. The characteristic of Fawlty Towers was the pressure cooker atmosphere created in the hotel. In the reboot, Basil Faulty will be running the establishment hotel with the daughter he’s just discovered he had that daughter, played by his real life daughter Camilla, who’s also writing the show with him. I have tweeted at John Clees and tried to ask the universe.
I’m still not clear. Is this a complete reboot like the first one didn’t happen in this universe? Or has Basil Faulty sold the original hot Tell and now he lives in the Caribbean with this daughter. I don’t know if we’re in the same continuity or if this is a redo. Hopefully John Cleese himself will get back to me, I tagged him on the tweets.
GB News host Dan Wooden showed Klees a headline from The Guardian describing the reboot as quote an anti woke nightmare. John said, they obviously know better than I do what’s going to be in it. Maybe they should write an episode for me that they would find acceptable. Might not be very funny, but I’m sure it would really please some of their readers. The idea that it’s going to be all about wokery hadn’t particularly occurred to me.
They’re assuming, with no evidence at all, that they know what the show is going to be like and condemning it for that. Klice is also working on a new discussion show for gb News, which will tackle subjects that get people upset. Klie said, there’s a huge argument about wolkery, and some of its stems from a very good idea, which is, let’s try to be kind of people. But I believe it’s become far too dominated by people who are frightened of offending people. I think you have to allow offense.
Let me jump in there. I saw an article that I love. The basis of the article is actually about star Trek Picard, but this is from Engadget, and I think it’s summed up like what’s kind of broken with everything? Right now? This isn’t really about comedy.
If you want to skip ahead two minutes, Dana Cooper writes fring Gadget, it’s twenty thirty four and Warner Brothers decides it needs to ring more cash out of friends. Unfortunately, the hot shot creator of the Age decided they want to go in a different direction this time. This needs to be a dark and gritty misery core grief orgy that better reflects are more rough and tumble times. In the sequel, Rachel’s famous for her wellness TikTok that often makes allusions to reclaiming the US as a white ethno state. Joey lost an arm while filming a movie and is now in prison after failed heist to pay off his life ruining medical debt.
Monica’s got a crippling adderall addiction and slips away most nights to murder the neighborhood, cats and dogs. Everything’s shot in an ultra gloomy vision and there’s no laugh track, jokes or studio audience, just unrelenting misery. The revival is dense with the references to the Friends backstory as well as the broader Friends universe. Remember that Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe’s twins sister Ursulan man about you, right? If not, you better get yourself to Wikipedia.
Study up. I mean it won’t be relevant to the plot, but it’s something you remember, So clapcop clap. I think that’s totally nails it, Like all these things that keep coming back, but not coming back the way we like them. I digress. Jim Jefferies has a new special out today.
It’s about Stone Kolalaz, his dad’s vasectomy, choosing between his hair and a sex drive, and more. Jim Jeffrey’s High End Dry with an end in the middle there on Netflix today. It’s an hour and eight minutes. Lavell Crawford, He’s going to have a special on Showtime February twenty fourth. If you don’t know who that is, did you watch Breaking Bad?
He plays he will Lavelle is very funny. This one is filmed at the Joy Theater in New Orleans. Lavell Crawford delves into the issues of getting older without the shame and with all the sarcasm, from experiencing his first bid day to paying h OA fees. Lavell Crawford brings playfulness to life’s per carrious situations that arises where you become more domesticated. In season’s February twenty fourth on Showtime.
All right, let’s head on over to gossip Corner. I know you’re wondering. Is Dion Warwick dating Pete Davidson. Deon. Warwick has provided an update on her relationship status with Pete Davidson after jokingly tweeted she was interested in Pete Davidson.
Several months ago. She was walking the red carpet at the Music Cares Persons of the Year event. Somebody asked the eighty two year old Warwick did she ever get a date with Pete Davidson News twenty nine. She said, no. Tigna Sorrow is making fun of herself after screwing up on celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Jimmy Fallon had her on and started making fun of her. She was trying to solve a puzzle that read crashing my blank x blank r C I s new word b I blank blank No. I know it’s hard to follow that. I’ll read it to you the way it reads with the blanks. Crashing my ex ersis by okay, Crashing my ex ersis by Tig solved the puzzle and said crashing my exorcist bill.
That was not correct. The correct answer crashing my exercise bike, which is actually not a thing. Wheel of Fortune gets annoying like that, She asked Bat, say Jack, can we edit my guess out? Jack said no. Then Tig dug in and said that is the answer I’m not going to be humiliated on national TV and say Jack said, too late for that.
Fallon asked Tig what was going through her head, and she said, first of all, I was thinking that I never imagine I’d be in a Wheel of Fortune. Second of all, I was thinking I don’t imagine I’ll be very good at this. And third I was like, well, I’m correct. I wasn’t nervous. You know I was wrong.

I’ve a large ice coffee with caramel and milk, and I will drink it. I’ll even shout you out on the show Buy mea Coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News, Mark Marin Million, Mark Marin Stories. This week on his own podcast, he said, I’m just saying that anti woke comics are hacks, and it’s an angle that’s really a big unseid thing, is that anti woke is the new hack. You’ve got like minded people who fill these rooms because they don’t know how to sess funny unless it’s bullying, unless it’s in bad taste, there’s no nuance to it.
A lot of people who are not innately that funny become comics, and they become good comics if they can figure it out. But this is an excuse to ride the momentum of an audience that’s been built on these premises for a bunch of freethinkers. They all make the same thing, and it’s like three things that they poke at and it’s hackneyed. They are the hacks and they are the group thing victims. It’s really kind of profound.
I do believe there are lines now in terms of comedy, and they do function somewhat on political lines. Many of these comics do not see themselves as right wing people. They see themselves as libertarian, but they’re so easily appropriated by right wing thought. There’s these weird tribal lines being drawn, and the old school kind of progressive nature of sensitivity but also taking shots at everybody is sort of falling the wayside of people going fu, I’m entitled to do this because of this and that, or free speech and anti censorship. So that ideological piece is affront and it’s enabling a lot of really uninspired, untalented people to perform.
It’s possible. Mark Marin did not enjoy Rosanne’s new special that showed up on Fox Nation yesterday. The Daily Mail has some of the jokes spoilers coming up. Rosanne said, these people they have no concept of reality. They’ve been living in a bubble forever, asking questions which have nothing to do with the real world.
What’s my gender? Mom? What’s my gender? Your gender is get a job, that’s your gender. Bar then pauses for the crowd to cheer, and then continues, what are they thinking?
Ask what is a woman? They don’t know that the one they’re asking you all the time. What is a woman? I’ll tell you what a woman is. A woman is me.
That’s what a woman is. Okay. A woman is someone who cleans up everybody else’s stuff. That’s what a woman is. A woman is somebody who’s boobs hang down or knees with a pro laps uterus from giving births of five ungrateful, little privileged bastards that have never had to work for anything their whole damn life.
My pronouns are kiss, my rs ah, the old my pronouns are. You might be right there, Mark Marin. So before the Super Bowl I had an hour and I decided to watch Mark Marin’s new special. I actually wanted to watch it Saturday night at like nine something, but they didn’t post it to ten o’clock. I was like, come on, man.
So I didn’t watch it Saturday, but I did watch it on Sunday and it’s not funny. I was entertained. I like Marin a lot. I like the guy, but this reminded me of a monologue from his podcast, A compelling monologue. I listened to the whole thing, but it wasn’t a funny monologue.
I have left this off my list of top funny things on twenty twenty three, So, out of the Roast of Mister Peanut and Mark Marin’s new special, which one should you watch? The Roast of Mister Peanut? Grand Lenahan is making his stand up debut tonight. Gran is the writer of Father Ted, which is a fantastic sitcom, and also the creator of The It Crowd, also a fantastic sitcom. Graham was banned from Twitter in twenty twenty for repeated violations of the site’s rules on hateful conduct.
He was recently reinstated. When he was reinstated, he decided to tweet there’s no such thing as non binary, There’s no such thing as CIS people, and retweet at a post saying that not only does transgenderism force homosexuality on straight people, it also forces heterosexuality on gay people. Well, he’s doing comedy tonight, he told the British Comedy Guide. I just wanted to try out a quick ten minutes without publicity or expectations, but I forgot to send out the memo when it was publicized. I have no real plans beyond seeing how it goes.
