Caloroga Shark Media. It’s god buried, sweeted. Southwest Airlines is going to offer signed seats. What’s next? Colin Quinn offering good jokes hashtag Mike drop hashtag best one yet.
Colin Quinn responded, finally hitting your sweet spot airline jokes and Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. A little kerfluffel movie Web covered this story. Now they opened with renowned stand up comic Godfrey. Let’s just stop there. Renowned.
Let’s get the lawyers in here. What’s a legal definition of renowned? Renowned adjective known or talked about by many people famous? Hmm I guess I digress movie web rights renowned stand up commeding Godfrey. He took to his Instagram page to address the return of Robert Downey Junior to Marvel.
Did you see this Robert Downey Junior. Oh man, he’s going to be doctor Doom. He’s not being iron Man, He’s being doctor Doom. Godfrey calls out the fact that Downey as a criminal record and says that white actors are afforded more chances for redemption within the industry. Godfrey feels that Jonathan Majors is quote getting a raw deal and questions why he can’t be forgiven in the same way that Downey Junior was forgiven.
You may know that Jonathan Majors was going to play Kang, and Kang was going to be the whole lynchpin of whatever phase we’re up to in the Marvel universe, and then there was some legal stuff we’ll get into, and they’ve moved to a different plan Godfrey. He says he doesn’t want to make it about race, but on more than one occasion points out the differences in how white actors are treated in this position when compared to black actors. Movie Web wrote, Downey Junior’s past is no secret. The actor struggled for years with drug addiction. He was arrested on more than one occasion for drug and gun possession.
After a stint on Ally McBee all, he was fired from the show in two thousand and one following additional drug chargers. He was ordered to stay in a drug treatment program. Following the arrest, Downey says that was the wake up call he needed and has been sober since two thousand and three. Movie webrights Jonathan Major’s issues arose when he was arrested in twenty twenty three after allegedly physically assaulting his girlfriend. Following his rest, Majors was dropped from several projects and endorsements, and when he was ultimately found guilty of assaulting harassment, he was dropped from the MCU.
Jonathan Majors was asked by TMZ if he was hurt by the new direction Marvel was taken. He said, yeah, heartbreak, and of course I love Kang. Doctor Doom is wicked, though I think it’s fair that mister Downey is being and has been greeted with patience and curiosity and love, and he’s being allowed to work and be creative at that level. I didn’t really get that, and PR caught up with Nikki Glaser, who said, my only motivation for what I write and what I say on stage is to make people laugh, but also be honest and say to the thing that I’m frustrated more people aren’t saying. I found stand up as a rebellion all those kinds of awkward, silent moments.
Sex is a recurring theme throughout her stand up. She attributes that to the fears she felt about sex when she was younger, quoting NICKI that I was going to be bad at it, that I was going to get made fun of, that I was going to do it all wrong. She hopes her comedy feels an information void that young women face. The place is where we find out about sex. Either sex had class or porn, and there’s nothing in between, and neither of those are really realistic representations of sex.
As for the roast, I don’t know why anybody signs up to be roasted. In terms of Tom Brady, because he said yes to it. It’s kind of like, unless you tell me things are off limits, I’m gonna go there. I have license, I have your consent. I can’t believe the places my mind will go to.
I really do have to do kind of a cleanse after I write for a roast, because my mind is in such a bad place where I’m just constantly thinking the worst thing about someone, looking at pictures of them, thinking what is something I can think about that’s gonna haunt them for the rest of their life because I’m going to reveal to everyone. It’s a disgusting place to write from, but that’s the job time out. I kinda get that when I was at Serious and we were in the comedy environment all day, my brain would just like riff jokes or riff banter with the gang, and then I’d come home and my brain would still be in that mode, and my wife would look at me, like, why you’re being such a jerk, And it was just because I was likeff riff riff. So I kind of see where your mind gets in a particular phase and you can’t snap out of it. Nicky Glazer tells the story.
It was Sybil Shepherd at the roast of Bruce Willis. She said, I saw Nicki before the show. I walked into the bathroom and I saw her from behind and I go, oh, my god, look at this model.
And then she turned around and I go, oh, she’s a comedian.
Nicki says, that really really stung, because I have so many insecurities about my face and it’s not good enough. And that’s why I’m a comedian is because I wish I could be pretty. It’s like that one hurt, and then the laughter that follows is the kicker as well, where you go, oh, that might be true. You just put on a happy face and then you don’t think about it until the car ride home, where you’re like despondently looking out the window, and everyone around you was like, that was so amazing tonight, and you’re like, but like the thing that Tony Hinchcliffe said, do you think that comes from a real place. I’ve cried out, I think at two of the three roast after parties because my feeling’s getting hurt.
And then after the roast of Bruce Willis, I got a ton of stuff injected in my face and laser stuff done to fix what Sybil saw as for her own comedy. I think that what I intend is just to say what’s honest and what’s funny to me, and it’s always interesting to hear how people perceive or take my comedy. Tasteless is totally fine, but it’s a word that no one aspires to be. But I can’t refute it. I don’t love people getting offended.
I think sometimes because of the nature of what I talk about, people think that I enjoy if people leave a show and are scoffing at things or growing at things. All I want is people to like me, really, and it’s a weird approach to achieve that. I’ve worked in many aspects, but it’s been a roundabout kind of way of getting there. But really it’s the underlining motivation that’s like just like me, which I think is most comedians. So I got an invitation from Deacon Mike.
You guys have heard me talk about my friend Deacon Mike from time to time, and it’s like, hey man, why don’t you come out to Cleveland. It’s the Church street Fair? And I had it right back, Mike, Dude, I’m not doing that, and he’s like why not? And I’m like, Joe Rogan Live on Netflix tonight. I already miss Kat Williams.
How many times do you expect me to drive out to Cleveland for one of your events? I like a street fair, sausage and peppers are good, but I’m not driving seven hours, dude. Joe Rogan Burn the Boats live on Netflix tonight. Is there any buzz about it? No?
None at all.
All right, let’s check in on the festivals.
It’s laugh out Loveland. When we last checked in, Dan Bublets Junior had scheduled a whole bunch of shows at places that would serve me beverages. I see we’re just trying to do there. So tonight, No, it’s not even tonight, it’s one pm. Dan, come on, man, laugh out.
Loveland presents Interrogation, True Crime Stories with Corey David. That’s at Black and Blues Music and Bruise. All right, Dan’s got me having some bruise at one PM. The next show’s at four. Dude, you’re killing me.
Laugh out. Loveland presents VIPs only, And if I go to Loveland, I better be a VIP. Dan. I’m just saying, stand up comedy showcase featuring Shanee Ross. So we’ve got Shaney plus Dan himself performing at this one and five other comedians.
This at the mead Kreeger Metery, not Meterri. I didn’t swallow the tea there, like from Queen’s Metai with a d ooh. I’m googling the mead Kreeker Metery serves Northern Colorado’s best old Norse mead. You know, guys, you could probably go a little wider than Northern Colorado’s best Norse mead. Maybe Southern Colorado is a great place, but like I’ll guarantee from here, you’ve got New Jersey’s best old Norse mead.
Let’s click on about our meat as we totally digress. On a Saturday, traditional oak barrel aged and infused. Our traditional meat is our flexship product we pride ourselves on. It’s one of a kind, smooth and balanced flavor, perfect for every day and every occasion. Say you’re at a comedy festival and you’ve already been drinking for three hours, and now you’re at this one.
You’re gonna sit through seven comedians, and whoever you’re with it goes, Hey, you want to drink. You’re gonna say, yeah, their meat starts with quality ingredients. They only choose the finest honey sourced in beautiful Colorado food menu, meat and cheese plate, nice and basic. I would do that in salami, cheeses, crackers, veggies, and fruit. Some wrench dip done.
And then you’re gonna go, hey, you want to get chips, and I’m gonna go quarantitea chip serves with medium salsa. Sure, let’s get it.
And then the waitress is gonna go, you want dessert, And I’m gonna be like, w…
And she’s gonna say Bevca’s ginger cookies And I’m gonna what’s that? She’ll say, the best ginger cookies, soft, not too sweet, and delicious, and I’m gonna go m no, I’m okay. So that’s the four o’clock show. Then it’s six point fifteen. So if seven comedians at four o’clock, we’re gonna go straight to the next show, This one at sky Bear Brewing, or mind you, we’ve been drinking since one o’clock.
It’s the laugh Out Loveland Comedy Showcase featuring Rosalie Rosalie plus one two, three, four five six more comedians. Another show at eight thirty, This one at Verboten Brewing. Another comedy showcase featuring Georgia Comstock and one, two, three, four five six more comedians. All right, that’s at eight thirty. So now it’s gonna be on eleven.
And I’ve been drinking since one. Boy, if you see me in the back there half asleep, it’s not because you’re not funny.
Also, today the Lucy Olball Comedy Festival continues.
Driney was nice enough to invite me up there. I couldn’t go this weekend. My daughter isn’t a musical all weekend, so I want to go to her shows. As much as I would have liked to see Nate Bergatzy and possibly could have even met at Nate Bergatsey, I’ve never met Nate. He’s playing at eight o’clock tonight and he’s in an arena, so you don’t have to drink for seven hours to see Nate.
Billboard just did a big profile of Nate. Two said, the world is serious. There’s plenty of people in information. You can go to whatever you want to go get. You don’t need me to add to that.
What I believe I need to do is be entertainment you can go to as an entire family. He says. Some of his favorite moments and when he looks out into the audience and sees multiple generations sitting together. I love when I can see a family sitting there, and if I start talking about my age, I can see the whole family, look at the dead or look at the mom. And when I talk about my parents, see them look at the grandparents.
I love the connection. They’re like, that’s you or that’s me. That’s the best part. In the La Times profile, the Groundling Theater in La it’s their fiftieth anniversary, Time Flies. I was out there for their thirtieth anniversary and a particular story that night, I was out with my boss until I don’t know one in the morning Pacific time, and I woke up the next morning we were on the West coast and found out that Sirius had hired Howard Stern.
It’s twenty years ago now, the fiftieth anniversary. Originally founded in nineteen seventy four by Gary Austen as an improv workshop, the Groundlings has continued. In the words of Bob Odenkirk, they’re inspired silliness for five decades. Bob is an alumni of Second City, and he says, I was mad at the Groundlings for breaking the rules, but also for being so effing funny. There’s something to be said for two different schools.
In the end, my heart’s a little bit more with the Groundlings and the freedom to be silly funny. I love silliness, especially now. And Johnny Mack has blown out his voice. Can you hear it? And so that’s your comedy news for today.
See you tomorrow.
