Callaroga, Shark Media, No Mac with your Daily Comedy News, No Surprise, and a good call by everybody. Maya Rudolph will return to Saturday Night Live. She will play Kamala Harris. Deadline has learned that pre production on season three of Rudolph’s Apple TV Plus comedy series Loot. Season three really was scheduled to begin filming on August twenty six.
That’s been paused. The cast and crew have been told that production has been pushed for scheduling reasons. Now it happens to work out that Loot is produced by Universal Television, which also produces Saturday Night Live. Anyway, good call there, seth Meyers will have a debut comedy special with HBO, So this one is being branded in HBO special. I’ve talked about in the past how that whole HBO Max thing.
They’ve really screwed up the brand. Some of the comedy specials have been Max specials. I think Hannah Einbinders was a Max special. Overall. From talking to you guys in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, our general sense all of us together is that the HBO specials here in twenty twenty four have not been that strong, Seth Meyers said, Critics say it’s the special my kids will be talking about in therapy twenty years from now.
He recently filmed it in front of a live audience. I’d hope so at Chicago’s vic Theater, great venue. No date yet other than this fall. Nina Rosenstein is a suit at HBO Programming and said, as longtime fans, we’re so happy to partner with Seth on his first HBO special. He’s such a charismatic storyteller, and we’ve always loved the way he reaches people on such a personal level.
This special is endlessly relatable and so much fun to watch. Pete Davidson has checked into a wellness facility for his mental health. A source tells people that mental health has always been a priority for Pete Davidson, who has been open about his sobriety journey on tour, as well as his history dealing with borderline personality disorder and severe post traumatic stress. To now, interesting to me, what you’re hearing now is actually a replacement segment. I had recorded this whole thing.
I had seen a few more beat Davidson shows canceled, and I started going through all his bookings, and I was seeing schedule conflicts, schedule conflicts, schedule conflicts. I’m not trying to make light of the situation, but as I pointed out the other day, schedule conflicts tends to be code for something else. Beat Davidson, I hope you’re doing okay. I’m also hoping Christina p is doing okay. She was on her podcast with Tom Sigora until the audience.
I have very very early stage breast cancer. It’s totally treatable. The prognosis is very good. I will not die. This is not my last summer on Earth.
It’s highly treatable. I’m gonna be fine. I don’t want it to become my identity. I don’t want to have to do the Instagram post of me in a hospital gown with thumbs up and then get your monograms, ladies. Christina did note that treating the cancer was going to mean going at it very aggressively.
However, because hosting her podcast brings her so much joy, she’s planning on continuing to do it as long as she can. You may recall few months ago she suddenly took a leave from her podcast. She warned her fans not to send her messages about beating cancer, explaining that there’s nothing worse than people sending slogans or platitudes when something bad happens. She urged her fans to send me something creative. Did you see the whole thing with Donald Trump and his comments about Kamala Harris the other day?
I’ll leave that to the Ballad podcast. We quite thoroughly covered it there well. Roywood Junior started a viral hashtag hashtag when I Turned Black. Roy said, we now know Kamala’s brave story. When did the rest of you turn black?
ESPN’s Ellie Duncan wrote, once I was at a party, and before I knew it, I was taken over by the spirit of dance, struck not by Cupid’s aro, but rather his shuffle. Then I knew I’m a black twitter us A Librina commented hashtag when it Turned Black. I remember in the eighties when mother returned from her black job, took us to the store and uttered, when we get in here, you don’t want nothing, you don’t need nothing, don’t ask for nothing. Roy would explain his decision to start the hashtag, saying, all in all, I believe this isn’t a lot that’s about Kamala’s ability to win voters more than it’s about Trump losing voters. Biden handed or a baton, and Kamala must run like the wind because it doesn’t seem like anything will trip up Trump, not even honest questions from great NABJ journalists who gave pushback when they could.
By the way, you know what’s tomorrow Joe Rogan Live Special on Netflix. I had prepped most of the weekend and the word Rogan didn’t even come up.
And then I was playing on Twitter and there was a Netflix ad for it.
Only an ad is the buzz? Why is there no buzz on Live Joe Rogan? But that’s Saturday night at ten o’clock. Are you watching the Olympics? I have some questions.
Is there any buzz at all on Leslie Jones’ Olympic coverage? I googled Olympics comedian and her name came up, and I was like, oh, yeah, that was supposed to be a thing. I see nothing. Is there any buzz on Kevin Hart and Keenan Thompson doing their Peacock Olympics recap show? The same Google search showed up a couple things, but they were all on the NBC websites.
Is that making any cultural impact at all? I don’t think so. It’s all do the other day. In case you missed it, I’ll repeat because it’s fun. Rob Schneider had tweeted, I’m sorry to say to all Caps, the world’s greatest athletes, Caps, I wish you all the best Caps, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan.
I hope these caps just the word these Olympics get the same amount of viewers as c SPAN. Mister Schneider did not enjoy some of the things in the opening ceremonies. Well, some folks on the internet went digging. One Twitter user wrote, Rob Schneider has an entire movie where he cross dresses. Another wrote, didn’t he do a whole movie in drag where he’s pretending to be a teenage girl.
That movie in question is The Hot Chick, where Rob Schneider’s character SWAP’s bodies with Rachel McAdams character. Online content creator Mike dro shared photos of Rob Schneider dressed in drag during late night TV appearances and for movie roles. Droe posted a screenshot of Schneider’s character in Little Nicky and wrote Rob Schneider stressed up as a woman for TV and movies, played a man of swap places with a movie, and appeared in a comedy movie about the son of Satan. Newsweek contacted Schneider’s representatives by email for a comment. No comment yet.
Staying at the Olympics, surfer dot com you’re home for comedy, news caught up with Colin Jost. He’s doing the surfing coverage there for NBC. Colin said, Yeah, it’s my first time at TODI, being here after seeing it for so long in videos, to actually be here watching it. The power of it is crazy. Is this your first time in a major surf contest, first time being at one live?
Yeah, I really went from zero to one hundred. Colin went your surfing history. Jost said, I was a really big swimmer growing up. I was a competitive swimmer, but I didn’t know anybody whose surf. Then in my early twenties, one of my best friends at SNL grew up in Huntington Beach.
He started taking me out surfing, and I started going out to Montalk. Eventually I got a place out there, or i’d go to Puerto Rico or just go surf whenever we had weeks off from SNL.
And now I’ve probably been surfing almost twenty years.
I was curious that Timeline does check out that Colin Jose has been a writer at SNL since two thousand and five. Yeah, almost twenty years, Joe says. But I’m a pretty cautious surfer. I mostly longboard in Montauk, so being here, I’ve been out surfing a few times. I was lucky to go out with John John Florence and CHRISA.
Moore at Bad Pass. The surfers are like, oh, yeah, we know what you’re talking about there, Johnny McK no idea. It sounds cool, Joe says, It’s so much fun to go out and surf a faster reef break than I’m used to. Last night was the kickoff of the laugh Out Loveland Comedy Festival. Friend of the show, Dan Boubletz Junior, is one of the powers behind this thing.
It is the second year comedy festival, featuring over twenty five comedians from across the country. Dan said last year, the response in the sport received was overwhelming. We were unsure how the new festival would be received, but every show sold out and we had to turn people away. That was a good problem to have in our first year. We hope to have the same problem this year.

And comedy magician Piff the Magic Dragon has cloned his assistant, mister Piffles.
Mister Piffles is a dog. Piff spent sixty thousand dollars cloning his Chihuahua sidekick to allow the original mister Piffles to retire. Piff said, mister Piffles has earned the right to a royal retirement. And for the past ten years, I’ve been looking for replacement. I searched rescue shelters for and wide for chihuahua able to live up to the legacy.
I needed a dog who could do card tricks, read minds, and would stand being shot out of a cannon nightly. After a decade of fruit was searching, I gave up and googled Barbi streisand for the very reasonable price of an OUTI Q seven. I now have the dog of my dreams again. Biff says, in a groundbreaking and possibly barely legal move, you can get your own cloned mister Piffles for just one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Piff is calling his tour the it costs sixty thousand dollars to clone my dog, and now I need to make the money back tour before I get letter a dot from shelters.
Every dog I’ve had since nineteen eighty one shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter. I did have a dog when I was four. I don’t know where my parents got that one, and both my parents are gone, so I can’t even find out. But my dogs now shelter dogs. And that is your comedy news for today.
