Caloroga Shark Media her Bullside. I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. The bull’s very green today. Do you think it might have been vandals. I’ll have to look into that.
Matt Rife in trouble. I don’t know what to do with this one, okay. Matt and his collaborator Elton, were on Instagram promoting an event at Haunted Warren Museum. That’s a paranormal spot that the pair had purchased last year. It is best known for housing the demon doll.
Anna Belle, a parent normal investigator, responded to the post by commenting on the Salem witch trials, which, for reasons unknown, told Matt Rife to rip into the quote lifeless douchebag by saying, please remove yourself from this earth. The paranormal investigator responded on Facebook saying, now I’m going to move forward with all this nonsense, garbage what Matt said, and Elton control your mittor Matt or get Matt therapy. I don’t ever want to see Matt bully a person with all autism again, Do I make myself clear? Not okay to say with a person with autism, I have autism. A source close to matt Riife told TMZ that matt Rife is quote relentlessly bullied in the comment section of his post with vile remarks.
TMZ understands that matt Rife responds to the trolls and then the troll deletes the original comment. The source says there’s context missing from matt Rife’s exchange with the Paranormal Investigator since the original comments are deleted. TMZ wants us to know that Matt and Elton charged people up to one hundred and sixty six dollars for admission to the Haunted Warren Museum and that has ticked off a lot of people in the paranormal community. Bill Maher also in trouble for a comment about Ariana Grande’s wait on Friday’s HBO Bill Maher Show. During his opening monologue, Bill Moore said, I hope the aliens are here.
I do. I hope they’re here, and they’re watching us, and they’re going to save us. And by the way, the Trump administration this week, just a few days ago, maybe yesterday, unleashed a new trove of UFO files. Interesting things in there, triangular craft, weird lights over an army base, a stick like figure with large eyes. Oh, that was just an Ariana Grande video.
The audience apparently laughed at that joke. More tagged it with please we kid, Maybe that joke will make it or eat something that one didn’t go over as well, And now people are met at Bill Maher. Don’t forget to watch Days of Our Lives Today. John Oliver in character arrives at the office of Salem may Or Paulina Price, suggesting that whatever brings him to town, it runs straight through city hall. John Oliver will be on today, tomorrow, and the fourteenth.
This is different than his three episode stint on General Hospital last month. I should probably hop in the car and drive about five miles down to Madison, New Jersey to see if I can run into Adam Sandler. He’s been spotted in Madison filming Grown Ups Three Grown Ups Three will start. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Christy You Need Money, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Maya Rudolph and others also joining famous actress Jackie Sandler, Shaquille O’Neal, Colin Quinn, Tim Meadows, Cherio, Terry Ellen Cleighorn, and Nick Swartzen.
Also include Julie Bowen does she need Bunny?
Shea sitcom for ten years? Dion Cole, famous actress, Sadie Sandler, different famous actress Sonny Sandler, and about Tan More names a lot of people in this movie. The official log line tells us, now that their kids are all grown up, the gang is finally free to go on the Ultimate Adventure. Apparently they were filming this at the Madison Hotel, A very nice place, been there. The hotel’s front desk declined to confirm anything when reached by North Jersey dot Com, but both Rod’s Restaurants and the Red Dog Tavern were closed for a few days.
Hmm.
Meanwhile, just up the road, Madison, New Jersey, closed Green Village Road e…
From The La Times. Anthony Jessinik, who’s only forty seven, imagines that his comedy career is winding down. He said, I’d love to take a crackety the short stories of writing a novel. J Justinick says, you see a guy like Jim Carrey, the last thing he wants to do is make anyone laugh anymore. He wants to be taken seriously.
He believes his stage persona has spared him from that. Jesslinick says, people are afraid of me. Fans who approach me are careful because my stage persona is borderline psychopath. I don’t feel that needs to take it seriously. I think I am taken seriously.
The Only Times tells us Justinick’s comic sensibility explores cruelty, shock, transgressions, and anti heroes, and it’s what continues to draw Anthony to literature. Jessinick said, I love bank robbers. I love the idea of the villain winning. That is revolutionary to me. You’re raised on TV and things have to be wrapped up in half an hour and the morall has to hold.
I love that books don’t have to play by those rules. The folks at the Santa Barbara Independent went to see Trevor Noah. We’re Till Trevor Noah had a nice mix of semi local specific topics like driving from LA to Santa Barbara, the joke they are told better by Trevor, all these random churns. It’s just me and a thousand other ways friends trying to shave a minute off our time. Trevor doesn’t like the beach.
She said, you rinse the sand off your feet in the water, and then you walk back on the beach in the sand. We learned from Trevor Noah why men love sports so much. It’s the one place where we feel things without being judged by ourselves. We get to cry, we get to be sad, we get to be disappointed, and we get to blame it on the team. We bring everything we’ve experienced that week, and we put it all on the team.
All those Knicks fans, they weren’t burning the streets because of the Knicks. That was everything they’ve experienced in their life for the last fifty years. Finally they had an excuse to express it. Apparently, Trevor did some impressions of Obama, George Bush, presumably w and Donald Trump. The reporter said Trevor’s bit about what it would be like if Trump trained AI was so funny that they had tears.
The punchline there as recapped by a reporter and told better by Trevor Noah than Johnny Mac. Who better to treat a system that constantly spews bs than an AI? You think they give you problems? Now at least your AI will apologize to you. You give it one week with Trump training, and you’ll be like, what is the capital of Nicaragua And it’ll be like Paris, and you’re like that’s wrong, and the AI will be like, no, it’s not.
A lot of people are saying that. A lot of people are saying it. A lot of people are saying that Paris is at Nicaragua. That is funny. He also told the joke about something that will get me in trouble with people who wear sunglasses.
So I’ll refer you to the Santa Barbara Independent to read that. One watched a couple of things on the TV ted Lasso season four episode one Boy. That was rough, and, as I shared in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast, I need some reality in my sitcom and like the idea that Ted Lasso’s not a super successful Premier League coach. He finished second with like a you know, not really good team he’d be working, he’d at least be on TV. Just I don’t want to spoil it, but like the whole setup for season four, I’m just not buying it.
I asked put on Ricky Gervay’s Alley Cats, and then I texted my friend and dared them to get to three minutes in. Oh my goodness, that is terrible. John Clees, who knows more about comedy than I do, disagrees with Johnny Mac. He posted on Twitter the Ricky Gervay’s Cats animation is quite wonderful. Gerve’s responded said, thanks so much, John Clease.
That means quite a lot from the creator of the greatest British suitcom of all time. Lad Who am I to argue with the great John Clees. Tammy Pascatelli has a special out today Comedy Dynamics, filmed at the Triad Theater. Tammy Pascatetlli takes on family, marriage, aging, pop culture, and the absurdities of everyday life. Tammy says the specials will throwback to the kind of comedy I grew up watching, in the kind I still love today.
I’m so proud of how it turned out, happy to be working with Comedy Dynamics. Blah blah blah. Comedian and culinary content creator Corey b will tape his debut comedy special at the Piper Repertory Theater in Mesa, Arizona, on October seventeenth as part of the Out of the Kitchen tour, Corey said, this is a chance for my fans who haven’t been to a show yet to see a whole new side of me. Out of the kitchen and onto the stage. Amanda Knox is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The New York Times says before the show, she was pacing the stage for about fifteen minutes. She’d been trying out her jokes prior to her one hour fringe debut as a stand up comic. In her act, Knox roam the stage where toys and clothes were scattered, telling stories and occasionally dialoguing with the recorded voice of her daughter, who’s five years old. Knox was trying to find the humor in her own story. You may recall, Amanda Knox was wrongly held in prison in Italy for years for the two thousand and seven murder of her roommate.
We covered that yesterday. The Times tells us, then Amanda told her joke about her daughter’s favorite game, It’s called Mama Goes to Italy. In the game, her daughter grabs the bars of a jungle gym at their local playground screams, let me out, Let me out. An online petition against the performance got forty thousand signatures. It went on anyway.
The Daily Mail published an article on its website with the headline is there anything Foxy Noxy won’t do for attention or money? Median Jennif Friedman quoted in This Times article who said her level of bravery doing this is just beyond comprehension. Knox said, there’s a defined streak in me that’s like, you know what, I didn’t hurt anybody. I’m not at fault for what happened. The show is being marketed as a woman quote approaching forty, juggling motherhood and finally getting around to being furious about the whole wrongful imprisonment thing, especially when half the world is telling her to get over it, while the other half still thinks she’s guilty.
Tony Lancaster is the director of the Fringe Society. He told BBC Radio Scotland. We’re not afraid of controversy. The decision as to whether or not the show goes ahead lies with herself and it lies with the venue. As sympathetic as we already the individual cases the crop up and absolutely is apparent I could relate to the pain that they describe, but that can’t be a criteria, can’t be one of the lenses we look through the show’s venue, the Gilded Balloon, Teviot said in a statement the Edinburgh Festal Fringe as an open access festival.
As a Fringe venue, we provide a platform for a whole range of voices, in line with the Fringe’s long standing commitment to freedom of expression within the confines of the law. And I’m sure our audiences can make informed choices and maybe Johnny Max not wrong about everything. Jimmy Fallon won the week with his big as audience since twenty twenty four thanks to latenighter dot com who has this wonderful information now. To be fair, Jimmy Kimmel Live minus Jimmy Kimmel was with Jimmy Kimmel. I think in repeats anyway.
So new episodes of Jimmy Fallon moved into first place in both total viewers and adults eighteen to forty nine. Fallin averaged one point five to four to one million total viewers week of July twenty sixth, up nine percent from the previous week. Fallon also won the eighteen to forty nine one hundred and eighty four thousand viewers. Jimmy Kimmel Live, which aired five guest host repeats. Okay, there’s the answer there, fell to one point zero six four million in the demo, just one hundred and forty one thousand.
The Late Show Stephen Colbert had zero viewers because that’s no longer on CBS’s Comics Unleashed, that’s airing repeats itself. Wow, that got seven hundred and ninety two thousand total viewers. Still finished third at twelve thirty CBS is funny, you should ask four hundred and forty nine thousand total viewers, fifty two thousand adults, eighteen of forty nine, fifty two thousand. That’s like podcast bad. I mean, like that’s bad for a podcast.
Over at NBC Late Night with Seth Myers, it was their last week of original episodes before a seven week HI it is Make twelve thirty great again. Myers averaged nine hundred and forty three thousand viewers, up two percent and in the eighteen of forty nine is one hundred and twenty thousand adults. And that is your comedy news Pool Side Green, very green Pool. We’re gonna have to investigate how this got green. Some people are saying there were vandals.
Other people saying it rained a lot last week and you didn’t put in enough chlorine. We’ll get to the truth and we’ll see you tomorrow
