Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there on Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. Now today is going to seem like I wanted to just pretape an episode and I didn’t. This is just actually the plan in the news. We’ll get to it in a second.
There are four stories involving comedians and food, and they just paired up nicely. Now I’m the first conceit. It just sounds like the kind of stuff I normally hit on the weekend. But nope, that’s what’s actually going on. And I also wanted to take a look at the Netflix as a Joke Festival lineup after they announced the roast of Kevin Hard.
I was like, let me just click on the line up and see what’s going on. And I’m quite impressed by it. So I just thought we’d take a moment here just look at some of the things that they are promoting. Now I’m a little frustrated for all the clowning I do about the Hulu publicist. Netflix is just impossible to crack.
I even had my publicist try and find someone to talk to about this. Festival, and I can’t get through to anyone. I reached out directly to Robbie Prau, who I know a little bit from just for lass Montreal. Haven’t heard from Robbie yet. Now I did that over LinkedIn.
He doesn’t need a gig, so maybe he’s not on LinkedIn. But I just I can’t crack this one at all. So I’m just on the website here and this thing is mighty impressive. So when you go to Netflix is a jokefest dot com. They’ve got an a twelve slide box at the top.
We already talked about the roast of Kevin Hart hosted by Shane Gillis. Now we haven’t heard a lineup on that yet as I record this, but how could that not be amazing? That’s Sunday, May tenth, the Fly on the Wall podcast with Carve and Spade. They’re doing May sixth with guest Chris Rock. That’s sure to make news.

Also out today on HBO.
Julio Torrea’s Color Theories that will be on HBO proper at eight East and West. You’ll be able to stream it on HBO Max No Knicks game tonight. Might actually watch these things. Julio Torrea’s Color Theories offers a guide to understanding the world through his playful interpretation of colors. Taking the stage in New York City as an expert on the inherent traits of particular colors, Torres explores the nuances of rule based navy blue to the rage of Red through observations from his life and culture at large.
I thought the material looked pretty good. The trailer as they played it the other day. Somebody, I think, perhaps possibly maybe added some laugh tracks, But I did think the underlying material was pretty good, all right. Some weight loss stories. Jim Gaffigan was on the Glass Half Full podcast.
He was asked if he’s still taking g LP one. Gaffagain at previous said he was on Monjuro. Jim Gaffigan said, I am it’s weird. It’s just something in the background of my life at this point where I’ll definitely take it because I’m still paranoid that I’m gonna feel nauseous. I’m not using it with the expectation of losing more weight.
It’s just I don’t trust my own behavior. Jim Gaffigan said it’s working for him because it cuts off his cravings for any food. He said, that’s where it really works well for me, because I would jokingly say that it made me. It didn’t remove me. It just made me consume like a human as opposed to a dog.
In the morning, would wake up and take our kids to school, and there’d be like four triscuit boxes we meaning mostly mean at his wife. I’d plow through three of them. No one does that, right, So for me, it’s like I hope the miracle drug that people think it is, because if it could suppress compulsive behavior, that would be great. But for me, it makes me behave like a human being, which is amazing. People will come up to me and accused me of being on an appetite suppressant.
They’re like, you’re on Ozepic, admitting you’re an ozempic and I’m like, no, I’m on a different one. I’m on Majuro, which is better, right because it sounds like an Italian restaurant. It’s always good, you know, like the health benefit, I’ll live longer, blah blah blah. But I love it because I feel better, and you know, some of it is I did have the appetite suppressant, so it’s not like I can’t even take pride in it. I was brave enough to stick a needle in the stomach, if you know what I mean.
It’s great, It’s beneficial. Gabe Iglesias said it was scary when he came off Ozempic. He was on Shannon Sharp’s Club Schayeshe podcast, which Dylan in the Facebook group Daily Coming to this podcast group points out might get the best comedian guests of anybody. Gabe said, I got on ozepic for five months. He didn’t say what brand ozepic works.
So zempic is scary. How good it works because it does curb your appetite to a place where you like, do I even need food? I got off the ozepic and I immediately gained back twenty pounds like that. It’s scary how quickly you regain the weight. Gabe says, that is heaviest.
He was four hundred and forty pounds and told Shannon, I really want to lose weight. It’s a serious thing. Shann had said, what if you lose too much weight? Your nickname is Fluffy. Gabe said he had a conversation about that with a radio host, big Boy.
Big Boy lost a lot of weight. Gabe said, hey, man, how did things change for you once you lost all that weight? You weren’t big Boy anymore? And Big Boy said, now, I wasn’t Big Boy anymore, but I was alive and that’s the most important thing. Fluffy says, So if I lose one hundred or whatever the amount of weight is, yeah, it might not be fluffy, but man, I’m gonna be alive, and I think my fans and people would rather see me alive and able to function rather than be the big guy.
Diane Morgan you know her as Kunk. She’s currently on Last One Laughing on Amazon, which you should want. She has embraced a vegan lifestyle and said that has changed her perception of cheese. She used to love cheese and now says cheese smells like socks. Diane Morgan said she was never a big milk drinker anyway, preferring oat milk, and continued, I couldn’t find a decent vegan cheese that I liked.
It all tasted like glue sticks, so I just went cold turkey on it. Then after four weeks, my brain just went out. I don’t like cheese anymore. It’s so I’s like socks, and now I don’t crave it at all. I just love animals, and I do a lot of work for animal charities, and consequently you see videos of the way animals are treated.
A lot of factory farming is horrific. And I was already vegetarian, but when I saw all that and how they’re treated, I just thought, I can’t do this anymore. She credits extra vegetables in the absence of dairy for a noticeable improvement in her complexion. She says, if you’re not eating meat or cheese, you really got to make friends with the vegetable. And I’ll tell you what, My skin’s gotten much better since I went vegan.
It’s definitely clearer. She has some recipes, one cracker involves baking sweet potatoes with grated extra firm tofu, chipotle and paprika. You topped that with a dressing of blended vegan yogurt, sliced tlepanios and lime. She also likes roasted butter beans with olive salt and broccoli finish with a finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. She says they come out like roast potatoes, golden and fluffy, and it’s so easy, healthy and delicious.
Meanwhile, Star trek Ruder Tignataro says she’s been vegan for going on ten years. She was on Laura Clary’s Idiot podcast. Laura said, it’s exciting you don’t meet a lot of vegans. I feel like people hate vegans. They hate me, Laura, because I like carrots.
It’s so strange. Star trek Runer Tignatura said, it’s a funny thing that you talk to eat your vegetables and then when you do, you’re a freak. Comedy stock Mark thank you, Bert Reynolds. Every week on the Comedy stock Marker, we look to find value in comedians. We buy low and we sell high.
And this week’s weird I only have one recommendation for us all. I don’t like to force the segment, but I looked at this and I’m not feeling strong about anything, but I think we might want to cash out on Mark Norman. Those specials come and gone, and he got in trouble twice this week. Maybe I’m a little paranoid, but I feel like we got our value out of Mark Norman and maybe we ought to sell our Mark Norman right now and just kind of lay low. I might be wrong there, but that’s my only recommendation this week.
Sell Mark Norman. That’s your comedy stock market boy. I have so many leftovers. It took a long time to go through that Netflix stuff. Let’s skip Melbourne for a day, just because I talk comedy vessels for so long.
In the front half Margaret Show, She’ll be at the Englert Theater tonight. You can expect her to be political, she says, that’s just who I am. How can I not touch on what’s happening today? What we’re living with is like science fiction. We’re living in this dystopian era, but with no flying cars or jetpacks.
Were at war. It’s very turbula with this administration. I would love it if Kamala would run again. I’d love it if Gavin Newsom would run. He has some of that zombie blood.
He’s fearal and angry. We need someone who has that. She also gets personal during the show. She says, I’m talking a lot about my life. I’m talking about my ever changing body and how it relates to the news of the day.
I talk but getting older and feeling different. I’m going through metopause. You understand who you are as a person. It’s a good realization. I’m excited to talk about it.
Oh and let’s clear this one out. Joe Coy. You remember him one time he hosted the Golden Globes untild a horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. Do you know the joke? You don’t know?
You play it for you? Do you? He’s selling his place. It’s a Las Vegas mansion. It’s on the market for eleven point twenty five million dollars.
I don’t have that kind of coin. My son’s trying to get me to buy one of these NBA expansion teams. Joekoy’s home has a tree trunk shaped staircase, a brutalist style exterior, and an infinity pool. Jokoy bought the place in twenty twenty three. Built in twenty eleven, the can’t delivered home is made of concrete, with geometric wired mesh covering the top part of the house, giving it a distinct look that’s well known in the area.
The main level is a bright, open planned space that includes a living room, dining aeran kitchen. From there, a spiral staircase with a tree trunk like enclosure leads down to the lower level, which is designed to be darker and moodier. The lower level has a full bar, a sitting area, and a wine cellar and tasting room with an expose stone wall. The lower level leads out to one of the homes courtyards with seating, a water feature in an outdoor shower. A different staircase connects the main level to the upstairs four bedrooms, including a large primary suite where the bedroom and bathrooms share an open space.
A guesthouse adds two more bedrooms, plus a lounge with a bar. There’s also a rooftop deck with a fire feature, a bar, and views overlooking the golf course and surrounding desert and mountains. Joe Cooy’s place if you want to buy it eleven point two five million dollars. Maybe you can get a good mortgage rate. And that is your comedy news for today.
Normal episodes this week, and I’ve got plenty Sea tomorrow
