Caloroga Shark Media. No matter how many years they do the show, I will never learn the lesson of don’t eat a handful of M and m’s before jumping on the mic. The Peanuts close up your throat a little bit. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Boy, what an exciting week?

Are you ready for Friday? I don’t have to tell you what Friday is. That’s right, Nate Berghatsi’s The Breadwinner is out. Now. You might be saying, John, did Kevin James turn down this movie?

And I think that’s a reasonable question if you’ve seen the trailer in case you’re not familiar. In The Breadwinner, Nate Berghatzi stars as salesman Nate Wilcox. Mandy Moore plays Katie, who’s the ultimate mom. But you see when Katie’s household invention leads to a once in a lifetime deal on Shark Tank and takes Katie on a prolonged business trip, wacky dad Nate has to figure out how to keep the house from falling apart because you know what’s dead, So, yeah, we don’t know how to make dinner or do laundery or anything. Kids soon learn that while he may not do it like Mom, he can figure out how to do it his way.

Now, Nate’s got friends in high places, including the Hollywood Reporter, who we’re getting the message out that Nate wants to make The Breadwinner affordable for everyone to watch in the theater. That’s right. You’re not just gonna sit home and watch this on Netflix. You’re not just gonna wait, I don’t know six weeks till it’s out on digital. You’re gonna leave your house and go to the theater to go see The Breadwinner this Friday.

Now, while studios can’t dictate pricing, the Hollard Reporter tells US cinema operators have indicate they will treat The Breadwinner the same way they supported discounted pricing for showings of eighty for Brady. And we all know how well that did. How well did that do? Look it up? John Okay, will boxofficemojo dot com reports eighty for Brady Domestic made a thirty nine point four million, did another one million internationally.

Anyway, AMC Theaters has announced the Nates rates. They did this on Instagram. Cinema theaters, meanwhile, may discount prices buy as much as twenty five percent. Pricing and availability will vary. You know what, I’m gonna go on like fendango right now and see if I can book a ticket for this thing.

Hold on now. To be fair, I am doing this on May fourteenth. I don’t know if you knew it was a holiday weekend. Sometimes I record in advance. Okay, Friday, May twenty ninth, I’m going to go seat at my local AM theater.

There are shows at four and six forty five pm. Nothing later.

All right, let’s do the standard reserve seating close caption recliner seats…

Let’s say click, and it appears, if I’m looking at this map correctly, it appears they have sold two tickets in advance to the six forty five showing Friday for the Breadwinner. Now again, I recorded this like fifteen days ago, so it’s quite possible that it’s sold out by now. I’m gonna click on F six and F five. Oh no, no, no, no no. I was looking at a gap, but I’m going across.

I can buy one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight. It appears zero tickets have been sold. If you can buy seats F five and f six for eleven ninety three. We are told the prices and feeds include estimated at tax per ticket. But I’m not actually going to go see The Breadwinner.

Nate Pergatsi posted on Instagram. It said, hello, everybody, My movie The Breadwinner is coming out on May twenty ninth, and I’ve got something very exciting that i wanted to let you know. So the Nate rate is a special kind of lower ticket price because we want everyone to come out to this movie. And John has discovered some theaters have sold zero tickets. This movie is for your grandparents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, friends, sister, anybody, your dog, cats I think would love this movie specifically, anybody that wants to come out.

Nate did a screening for The Breadwinner in Nashville. Nate said, I used to come to this theater a lot. There’s an Applebee’s right next to here where I met my wife. We’re living in Nashville in this movie. This celebrates Nashville.

I grew up here. I think we get a joy when more people move here in a way that keeps the fabric of what made Nashville a city very exciting. The Breadwinner stroop credits in Aperghatsey with influencing his embrace of family friendly humor. Now interesting. I came home from volleyball the other night.

My wife was on her phone. She goes, do you know comedian Derek Stroop? And it wasn’t like do you know him? It was like do you know who that is? And I’m like, yeah, I thought it was interesting that Derek Stroop said nabrigazzy.

He took me under his wing just a couple of years ago. This guy’s out here selling out four shows in one weekend at an arena. It’s twenty thousand and eighty thousand tickets in a weekend. But because he’s completely clean, and he’s not edgy, and he’s not up there starting a revolution with a microphone in his hand, he doesn’t get the outside love. Clean comedy is the way to go by far.

I preach it to everybody that’ll listen. These young comics, I try to save them. I will tell a story I’ve told it before. When I first met Jeff Foxworthy. He sat in a room with me.

He explained his philosophy. He held his arms out I don’t know, like say shoulder length, and he said, I used to do comedy and curse, you know, like everybody else does.

And then I realized, if I work clean, I pick up the older people.

And he stretched out one arm and the younger people, and he stretched out his other arm and implied how much bigger his audience got. Derek Stroop said, nobody’s ever come up to me after a show and went, those jokes were really good, man, but if you would occur a little bit, you could have sent us over the top. Everybody goes thanks for being clean. It was a really fun show. That feels good to have a product that travels, and everybody’s excited to see now.

You know, if you listen to this show, you know I try and keep it clean. Sometimes with the clips, I have to let a naughty word or two through, and I kind of don’t like to do that, but sometimes this is just to keep the integrity of what was said. But myself, I try not to curse on the show, and you’ll hear me use words like stuff. I also teach my college students who are younger producers, putting yourself in that box is a better creative way to go. I always quote mister the Rock, Queen the Rock at Johnson, I will use a pseudo swear word here.

The Rock doesn’t call somebody an asshole. The Rock calls somebody a Drabbroni. Hey, that guy’s a jabbroni, And Jabbroni is just a much funnier word than just saying that other awful word that I just said. So I think that’s always a good thing to do. Jerry Seinfeld said, I don’t enjoy that many things, you know.

I like watching baseball games, and I like driving cars, and I like comedy, and that’s about it. He was speaking to Airman about his car addiction and why Jerry will never get an electric car. Jerry, how many cars do you have? I don’t know. I always say it’s an amount that if you looked at you would not say this makes sense.

Air Mil asked Jerry. I don’t know about you, but as I get older, I wonder who needs so many cars? Jerry said, Well, we could spend the whole segment discussing that word need, which is really difficult to define. It’s an interesting word in terms of a car collection. Only really crazy car guys.

We’ll talk about do I need one of these? And the other guy knows what they’re talking about. It’s interesting to me that there are quite a few cars that I’m totally emotionally attached to, and there’s quite a few that I’m not. I still like them and I like having them. But some of them you bond too, some of them you don’t.

Jerry says his car collection began around nineteen ninety one, when my TV series was picked up for its first very small order. Was that nineteen ninety one. I’m not gonna say that feels like five minutes ago to me, but uh yeah, that’s college Boy time flies, Jerry said. I think four episodes. Jerry, you know was four episodes?

Don’t say you think you know how many episodes? Come on, dude. That was when I first acquired some money I did not need. I bought annineteen fifty eight Porscha three fifty six speeds are out of Wichita. I didn’t really know anything about older Porsches, but I just thought, well, this car is a nice line.

So I also thought, I’m sure you could never drive a car like this on the street. It must be ridiculous, And I ended up using it as my daily driver in LA for years on end. Really sorry, I sold it. I believe there’s no car you’ve ever owned that you don’t regret selling that. If you could have every car back, assuming it was financially possible, you would do it.

You’d want every single one. This is a good interview because it’s, you know, different stuff. You don’t hear Jerry talk about this stuff. He said, I remember the very first time I became aware of the Yoshido Matsuda collection in Japan, two hundred cars. I saw this and went, this is one insane human being.

I got the book of his collection, and then I became that guy. I never really had any problems with addiction except this. Selling cars can be very exciting too. It’s pretty clear that cars coming and going seems to stimulate some receptor in the brain. For people that are genetically inclined, it’s powerful stuff.

As for electric cars, Jerry said, I’m not interested in electric cars at all. Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big stupid virtue signal. Look at me, I’m saving a planet. Yeah, what about the lithium, it’s all bs.

What about automated self driving cars? Dray said, I always tell my kids that their kids will say to them, you mean, when you grew up, they would let people just drive at any speed and steer the car themselves. Didn’t they just crash and kill themselves constantly. This is fun. Ken Jung is getting involved with Shark Week.

It’s K Pop Shark Heroes. You see. You take Shark Week and you drop K Pop Demon Hunters on top, and you get K Pop Shark Heroes. The special stars Ken Jung and the woman who is the singing voice of character Zoe Casehanot, a big K Pop Demon Hunters fan like me, I’m not at all I just learned as I’m telling you the sentence, Ken Jung voices Bobby, the agent manager of the K Pop Demon Hunters, who knew the official description for K Pop Shark Heroes is after a recent series of shark encounters off the Korean Peninsula. Actor and comedian Ken Jung, We’re just dropping the doctor part.

The guy went to medical school. I’m gonna revise your copy. Actor and comedian doctor Ken Jung is determined to reshape the perception of sharks across East Asia and around the globe by Zoe. Ken is on a mission to launch a bold, one of a kind public awareness campaign that educates, empowers, and shifts the narrative around these oceanic creatures using the power of K pop. I Love It Oh.

Like most press releases, there’s credits here. Jung is best known for playing Leslie Chow in all three The Hangover movies, as well as Ben Cheng in Community Hows six Seasons in a movie Coming Along Everybody by the Way. His other prominent credits include Knocked Up, Crazy, Rich Asians and The Mass Singer, on which he’s served as a judge since season one. In twenty nineteen, to entertain myself, the Golden Globes have updated the eligibility if you want to win a Golden Globe for stand up comedy performance on television. Here are the rules.

Are you ready? Rule number one, Performers are eligible for performances of traditional stand up comedy of at least thirty consecutive minutes aired other than roles in television series, limited series, anthology series, or motion pictures made for television. I’ll roughly translate that your special has to include thirty minutes of stand up okay. Rule number two. Television includes works released by broadcast, basic and premium cable streaming and pay preview cable.

To be eligible for a Golden Globes’ award, television programs must be released on a recognized media platform. Individual social media accounts do not qualify, all right, So translating there, it’s got to be on like real TV. You can’t just put it on like Johnnymack dot com and submit it. Okay, that’s fair enough. Number three.

Only programs first aired or made available for viewing on demand in the United States during the qualifying year are eligible. Interesting first aired, so like I don’t know, say you were Ricky Gervais and the BBC gave me a lot of money. It has to air in the US first to be eligible for a Golden Globe. That’s weird. I don’t really care.

I just find it weird. And that is your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.
