Caloroga Shark Media. Oh my god, Golden Globes, you’re killing me. Lady. Give out the stand up comedy war till ten twenty pm. I am Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.
We actually have some pretty big stories about Bowen Yang and John Muliney and David Letterman. We’ll do that after the break. But the Golden Globes a nice job Nicky Glazer. The crowd there clearly likes her. She’s both one of them but enough of an outsider that she can still land jokes.
And I thought she just did a great job on the monologue. It was a buy the numbers monologue, and what I mean it was just a very old school you take your time, and you go and George Clooney’s here, and camera switches to George Clooney, and you tell a George Clooney joke and you have some fun with that and you go and it’s great to see so and so. And she did that, and she had the timing down and the jokes were well tested, really really good. She opened up with a pretty fantastic joke about a listers. I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room tonight.
It’s insane. There’s so many A listers, And by A listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted. But yes, and the Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to the Justice Department. But the joke that everybody’s talking about is this one. I won’t even spoil it.
Here’s Nikki Glaser. And the award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News America’s newest place to see BS News. Now, something was going on on the internet last night because normally with these things, I can grab like a lot of clips on the fly, and I don’t know if the Golden Globes police were shutting them down. Clips were a little hard to come by last night.
So I don’t have a lot of Nikki’s monologue for you. At one point she made a joke to George Clooney about having trouble with her an espresso machine. You may recall George did an Espresso DS at some point and George laughed at it. And again I keep coming back to Joe Johan Taylor Swift and was like, all you had to do, Taylor was smile at the joke, which is what Looney did.
And now everyone’s having a good time and we move around.
We’re also some good jokes about Leo DiCaprio. Now, Nicki had said that she wasn’t going to make Leo jokes, but she did. Let’s listen. You’ve worked with every great director, You’ve won three Golden Globes, an Oscar and the most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned thirty. I mean, it’s just insane.
Liam. I’m sorry I made that joke. It’s cheap, you know what. I tried not to. But like, we don’t know anything else about you, man, Like there’s nothing else like open up serious.
I look, I searched. The most in depth interview you’ve ever given was in Teenbeat magazine in nineteen ninety one. Is your favorite? Is your favorite food still pasta? Pasta and more pasta?
Look it up, that’s real. Leo did smile at them again, Taylor Swift, just smile at the camera and don’t kill the room. As I was prepping the show was interesting. I was sourcing everywhere the British tabloids were writing and this is not true. I was watching the TV.
The British tabloids said that the CBS news joke and the A list joke got mixed reactions in the room. I don’t think so at all. I think the British coverage of the Golden Globes is a little loaded there. I think the room really liked Nikki. During her monologue, she did a joke about Michael B.
Jordan. I don’t have the clip, but she made a good joke about Jordan playing two brothers in the movie and then said, am I allowed to say that?
And then she said playing twins and then tagged it with I can’t believe we go…
When I saw that, I was like Nicky b Jerkin because that was awesome. That got Michael B. Jordan’s mother can on camera making a face. On to the awards, Adam Sandler robbed, I’m so upset at this Best Supporting Male Actor in a Motion Picture went to stellin Scarsguard, not Adam Sandler for his wonnerful performance in Jake Kelly. Now listen to Hollywood industry.
We need to reward Adam Sandler if he’s going to be good in things like Jake Kelly and uncut gems. We need to reward him or he’s just going to make Jack and Jill two. Okay, please give Adam Sandler an award Oscars. Are you listening? This is very important.
Gene Smart wins Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. It’s her third win out of four nominations for Hacks. Seth Rogan won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series Musical, Comedy or Hollywood celebrating themselves. No surprise, Hollywood loves the studio, so of course they’re going to give it to Seth Rogan. As the telecast moved on, if you watched it, there were announcers, so not just Nicki hosting, but in and out of the commercials or when the winners were walking up, they were announcers.
So one comment on the internet, Kevin Fraser and Mark Malkin are not snappy or funny enough to be additive, and they’re also too awkward and bland to feel like a meaningful way to get more information across to the view where they have no point of view. What’s the purpose of them? I think that review nailed it. Kevin Fraser was okay. Mark Malcolm was awful.
As they headed into the Best Podcast Award, there was a bit about podcasts, the crux of the joke being the podcast of a lot of commercials, and my friend Mark texted me he thought it was funny. I thought the bit was completely flat. We see Nikki Glaser in her car listening to podcasts and Mark Maren makes an appearance. Shocking. Actually, I can’t believe they got Maren to do that.
And Maren like knocks on the window or something and tries to sell her something like a podcast ad. I can’t believe they got Maren to do that. The people in the room, the Hollywood elite us with the thirty thousand dollars gift bags, listen to Saturday Show if you missed that. They didn’t seem to like that podcast was an award. Like when they gave out the nominees, it was half clapping.
Probably people went to the bathroom. The winner, Amy Poehler for Best Podcast. No, I thought this was fun. Around nine thirty three PM, I texted Mark and I wrote, the show’s dragging. If I’m producing this, I’m grabbing the Best Stand Up envelope and I’m running Kevin Hart and presenting that award next to get Kevin up there to give some energy to the show.
Well, they didn’t quite take my note. But at nine thirty eight pm Eastern, the next presenter was indeed Kevin Hart, and I was excited. I’m like, oh, Kevin Hart, but he didn’t really bring any energy to the stage. But finally, finally, at ten twenty pm, Wanna Sykes came up to give the award to Best Stand Up. The nominees were Bill Mahers, Is anyone else seeing this?
Brett Goldstein’s The Second Best Night of Your Life? Kevin Hart’s Acting, My Age, Kamil nan Gianni’s Night Thoughts, Sarah Silverman’s post Mortem, and Ricky Gervai’s Mortality. Now, Wanna gets up and she kind of annoyed me. She made a comment that people would be ticked that a black queer woman was doing the job of two mediocre white guys. Who’s saying that?
Wanda like, who’s actually saying that? Who is actually sitting home going you know? Uh JC and throws their mote across the room. I can’t believe Wanda Sykes is presenting an award who’s actually doing that? Wanda Sykes like, I did not appreciate that comment at all.
Then, as she read the nominee, thanked Ricky Gervas for not being there, because if Ricky were to win, she would get to accept on his behalf and then she would have Ricky, thank God, and the trance community, which was kind of funny. And the winner is Ricky Gervais, which was totally anti climactic because he wasn’t in the room. So all I was at ten twenty pm, I’ll share on tomorrow’s show what Ricky Gervas had to say. We’ll take the break here and then we’ll come back. We’ll talk about Letterman and Mulaney and oh and the whole Bowen Yang thing.
This was the whole thing over the weekend, all right, be right back. Coming up at noon Eastern today, Comedy Survivor Week one results and we’ll start off week two. As of neon Eastern. You’ll be able to vote in the Facebook group. You’ll find a cartoon of me eliminating the torch of the person who has been eliminated.
I mean, of course you go the Facebook group before that and just count the vote yourself, but that’s not fun. So the reveal is at noon today in this very feed. Okay, there was a big thing over the weekend. People basically canceled Bowen Yang. I went out for like two hours on Friday afternoon, and I came back and I saw Bowen Yang had been canceled.
I’m like, what even happened? And I’m still not entirely sure. So as I’m reading this news article, the Lost Culturist’s podcast host had discussed various politicians. Matt Rogers ripped into Gavin Newsom, saying that Newsom needed to get vocal surgery if he wanted to run for president. And I think it was Rogers who said he was turned off anytime a politician is making it too obviously about themselves.
That led to a conversation about Representative Jasmine Crockett, who is running for Senate in Texas. The Lost Caltesa’s host apparently urged their listeners not to donate to kroc Us senate campaign. Rogers said, quote and don’t waste your money, sending to Jasmine Crockett, do not do it. Don’t do it. You’re gonna waste your money.
Bow and Yang apparently agreed, saying money was quote hard enough to come by. Rogers then pivoted the conversation back to Newsom and that it just blew up the internet. The gist of the criticism was that they were putting down a black woman in an already hostile political environment. This got heated enough that the Boy’s backpedaled. Matt Rogers posted, transparency and candor matter to me, especially on the podcast.
I’m a very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections. But my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful exclamation point. I really do promise. I have great respect and admiration for Representative Crockett, and I regret that my words suggested otherwise.
Bo and Yang said that he himself should not have waited on this and promised that he would use his platform more responsibly moving forward. Now. Once they apologize, then the conversation online. People seem to be mad now that the show’s called Lost Culture Teresa’s because neither host is Hispanic. And so I looked at this up Lost culturesas has been around since May of twenty sixteen.
You had time. If you were mad about the name, you had time to bring it up before this weekend. It’s just called lost culturesas come on people. David Letterman went on that barbar gaines thing he does sometimes when he feels like saying something but doesn’t feel like producing is something proper. He had some thoughts about the President of the United States.
Let’s talk a little bit about Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, I love Jimmy Kimmel too. Here’s the thing what people don’t understand is Jimmy Kimmel single handedly brought the people at Disney and all of those other network television owners to their knees. Jimmy Kimmel single handedly. Made them critics a critic show, made them seem and appeared to be the fools they are, and continues to call attention to the plight.
And also Seth Myers, he’s very good, and I’m telling you we’re running out of places where you hear these voices. And Stephen Colbert in that franchise audios, and let me just say one thing. If we had a president who was a Republican I’m sorry, who was a Democrat. Let’s just say, if we had a president who was a Democrat and behave the way this Republican president is behaving, Jimmy would be attacking the Democrat president just as much as he attacks, So it’s not like it’s all politically driven. It’s driven by the behavior of the person in the office.
David Letterman was also not kind about CBS. By the way, what about those idiots at CBS. The CBS News is a record bill just gone CBS News for decades, going back in the world World War two. Before World War Two, they would be ed Murrow would be broadcasting the Blintz of London from the rooftop of buildings in London than for CBS Radio. And it was that mentality that drove the integrity of CBS News that has been trampled on, pissed on, and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.
And I’m at a point now where it really is hurting my feelings because I’m sick and tired of people saying, oh wait to those midterms kids. We’re far downstream of the midterms having any effect on this. And I’ll tell you if it weren’t ten thirty seven PM on a Sunday night. And by the way, Johnny Mack had to do an airport run at six thirty am on Sunday. I would probably have a lot more to say about David Hdman, but I’m getting a little tired, so let’s add for home here.
John Mulaney postponed his shows in Minneapolis over the weekend. This is another thing that when I’m awake, I should probably discuss properly. On Tuesday show, John Malani canceled his shows in Minneapolis over the weekend as protests continued across the city condemning the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole good by an Ice agent road on Instagram. What’s happened in your city is heartbreaking. I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief because it feels unfeared of the audience.
I’m sorry anyone who is disappointed. I know a fun stand up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn’t sit right with me to put anyone at risk. Tickets for the shows will be honored at the rescheduled dates April tenth through the twelfth. Again, when I’m a little more awake, I’ll deal with that properly. Out today on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla, Hannah Gatsby’s woof is available to watch it.
And that is your comedy news. Sorry, Comedy Survivor coming up at newon Eastern and normal episode Tuesday morning. I see you then,
