Caloroga Shark Media, Hidley Home. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Tim Heideker is campaigning to play jd Vance on SNL. During his Office Hours podcast this week, Heidecker acknowledged the support of his fans as he called it a huge outcry, a huge movement to get me to play jd Vance perhaps on SNL. He grabbed a suit in some eyeliner to complete the look.
He then auditioned for the role, saying in a not trying too hard Jdvans oppression, saying a lot of crap happened immediately, a lot of crap that has happened on the road’s kind of fed up. In other words, people were kind of rude to me online. I noticed Heidecker got real time notes from his guest, former Mad TV cast member Will Sasso. He then pulled out a bottle of diet Mountain dew and took some swigs. I’d tried to pull the clip here, but it wasn’t just going to work for audio podcast.
Tim Dillon weighed in on the election on his podcast. Tim said, so this frozen of bonnable snowman Tim Walls, and I would respect him if he said we burned down Minneapolis and if we lose, will burn down America. I’d respect that. If he went out and said, you’re damn right, we had riots and January sixth is gonna look like a kid’s birthday party compared to what we’ll do. Will burn it all down.
So they get funnel Cake Dad. Funnel Cake Dad is the folks a history teacher with no money that the Democratic Party thinks that this guy should be president because he’s completely broke. He’s like a character of Jed Bartlett from the West Wing. He lives in the Land of ten Thousand Lakes, and the Democratic Party likes because he’s kind of keeping it all together up there. He called on the National Guard in twenty twenty, but he waited a day.
He let everybody get it out of their system before he called in the National Guard. A lot of these riots, you know, things that he and his wife expressed some level, and they kind of enjoyed these things. Tom Papa has a new Netflix special coming out in October twenty ninth. Filmed at the Warner Theater in Washington, Great Theater, this one was called Home Free. It’s Papa’s third special.
I am a big fan of Tom Papa’s comedy. It speaks to me, especially when he does like dad stuff and husband stuff. Really like it. I can’t remember which Net special it was. I think it’s Your Doing Great from twenty twenty.
There was a lot of clapter in it. It was really awkward. I remember commenting about that on the podcast, that Tom would do these big things and not get any laughs. He’d get claps, but clapter is awful, So hopefully this one has some laughs. In Home Free, Tom Papa holds nothing back as his kids are finally out of the house and it’s just him, his wife, and a bunch of animals ready to return to their glory days.
Tom has seen a lot over the years, from close calls with a Pachinko ball to late Night seven eleven runs, and he’s sharing all his thoughts as he parties onto the next stage of life. Paulie Shore was commenting on when he first saw Robin Williams performing stand up at the Comedy Store in la which was owned by Paulie’s mother, Mitzi Shure. Paulie Shore tells people the guy was special. His improv skills mixed in with the stand up was just another level. It’d literally go on stage and just grab someone’s drink and someone else’s jokes and then do ten minutes on it.
When Robin was going off, everyone gathered in the back to watch. My mom’s office for the comedy Store was at the house, and Robin used to come over to pick up his twenty five dollars check or wherever was. I remember he was in the middle of filming Mork and Mindy and he’d still be in his outfit. We’d just mess around. He was the same guy on stage off stage, just very playful and cool.
Encountered Robin once and oh, I’m brain locking on it. What’s the uh? I know I could look this up and you’re all talking to your phone, But I recorded this yesterday. What was the big comedy fundraiser they used to do on HBO that Why don’t you just look it up, John, because that’s not fun? That thing?
I was at one of those comic relief That’s what it is. Stop screaming your phone. You’re like a crazy person in the car. I saw the comma Robin Williams, you know, not doing that, just just behaving the way most people do when they’re not being Robin Williams on stage. Nice guy Pauli Shore says of his mother, Midsei, she was like a dead mother of these comics.
She’d take them in. Most of them were jobless, semi homeless and didn’t have any money. And if my mom saw that should always make sure they had a place to stay. Robin wasn’t anything like that. He had his own thing already coming in from San Francisco.
This was the late seventies when she was sort of developing him, and his famous skyrocketed soon after. You know what was gonna happen to him. When you saw him, you could tell he was destined to do movies. After he was famous. It always come up to me and give me a hug, ask me how my mom and brothers were doing.
He still fits knew everybody’s hearts. That’s why it wasn’t a normal situation when he died. It was so emotional. He connected with so many people. Look at films like Good Morning Vietnam or all his films.
He always put his heart into it. That came through with who he was as a person as well. Hey, Johnny Mack, how come nobody ever writes any articles about how much Nicki Lazer likes Taylor Swift, I know, right, like somebody. Oh wait, the Hollywood Reporter wrote such an article. I know.
I’ve been commenting a lot lately about publicists earning their money. I’m saving four I think tomorrow there’s yet another Nikki Glaser story about how she’s the queen of comedy. Now tap the brakes. So Nikki Glaser’s publicist, Yeah, you deserve a raise too. A lot of that going around lately.
In the latest episode of the Nikki Glaser publicity Tour, she was asked about a video of her dad and said he’s finally a swiftye. Nicki has not heard from Taylor Swift and says, honestly, I don’t even expect it. Well, not for lack of trying. I don’t think about it. I’m so purely a swifty with no agenda to be in her life.
Forget any status or being in a certain tent. I never want to monetize my love for her, or ever think that she thinks I’m trying to get a headline by talking about her. Oh okay, yeah right, yeah, I’ll just do an article on the Hollywood Reporter about it. You know, I’m not trying to get more downloads by openly calling Joe Rogan a coward and challenging him to a fight in the octagon. I’m not doing that for more downloads.
I’m doing that for my love of Mma. Nicky says. It’s a tool. I’m sure she’s where people are using even though they have nothing to do with her. They sound off about her, and suddenly they’re in an article What Interesting Inside by Nicky Glazer In an article about Nicky glazerking Taylor Swift and the Hollywood Reporter, Boy, Yeah, I hate to think people are Dave dropping Taylor Swift.
That’d be terrible. Nicky says there was part of her that felt embarrassed, wondering if other comedians would make fun of her. Her concern was that people would say she’s doing this to get Taylor’s attention, or she’s doing this for some other reason than just genuinely loving something. She admits she was partially embarrassed to love something so much. I really do want to talk about Taylor Swift as much as my friends want to talk about their kids.
She says she considered putting Taylor Swift content behind a paywall in order to weed out those looking to make fun of her and other fans. She decided against it, saying I didn’t want to make money off it. There was an idea to donate any money from the Taylor Swift paywall stuff to a cause Taylor Swift was passionate about, which a lapine here would get leaked by a publish to the Hollywood Reporter, and we would be reading an article saying Nikki Glaser raised x dollars it donated to Taylor Swift’s charity, and then there’d be a picture of Nikki Glaser and Taylor Shift and the Holly Reporter. Who we getting everybody. I don’t read the comments.
I just send a video to somebody who posts for me because I don’t want to see if I’m being made fun of. Oh You’re not being made fun of at all. Trust me. It’s my biggest fear. But I just love Taylor Swift and I can’t hide it.
Glazer believes swifties will understand her hesitance in not wanting to look insincere. They know that it’s just an unbridled love that doesn’t really make any sense, makes total sense. I may be a swiftye before I’m a comedian. That’s how strongly it resonates in my bones. I really don’t know what I’m gonna do with my life when Era’s War is over.
I really think I’ll end up flying to different cities to go see Taylor Swift sing a long nights because it’s something that I won’t say I’m addicted to, but it’s a joy. I just want to chase joy. I’m gonna catch groof for that Nikki Glaser bit I just did before you get mad at me, go back and listen to that. And every time I say Nikki Glaser, pretend I’m saying George Lopez. And every time I say Taylor Swift, pretend I’m saying George Lopez.
Tacos. That’s all I’m doing there. Hey, we’ve got a new show. It’s called five Minutes of Gratitude. What’s that?
It’s five minutes of gratitude, Little mindfulness for you, five minutes number five, five minutes of gratitude wherever you get your shows. I’m mad I wasn’t at this concert. You think Nikki Glaser likes Taylor Swift? Well, how about this one? Zach Bryan at his Philadelphia show Awesome to begin with, had Bruce Springsteen, the Lumineers, and Shane Gillis.
Why wasn’t I there? This happened last Wednesday at the second night of his two show stint in Philadelphia. One of the Lumineers came out and sang alongside Brian for Spotless. Then Bruce Springsteen came out and they did Atlantic City and they did a song from the new The Great American Bar Scene album, which is a fantastic album. Talk about that in a second called Sandpaper.
My son turned me on to Zach Bryan and he really likes the new album. And I listened to it and I liked it too. And I keep telling my son, you don’t realize it. You like Springsteen, and he thinks he likes Zack Bryan. And I’m like, there’s a lot of Springsteen vibes on that album.
So it’s music we can share together. Isn’t that nice? Uh? Kind of a good album? Check it out from Zach Bryan.
Everybody came back out to sing revival and they were joined by Shane Gillis from Gossip Corner. Did you watch Matt Rich’s crowd Work special? Well, he maybe perhaps possibly has bought a home in Rhode Island, about twenty minutes from the conjuring house. Back in April, nrII Now reported that in LLC had purchased West Wind Estate in a three million dollar plus transaction, So Matt Rife is doing okay for himself. The property features a private driveway stretching a third of a mile, a twenty four stall horseborn twenty one grass paddocks leased by the prosill Riding Academy, hay and machinery barnes, an indoor and outdoor writing arena, a pool, a poolhouse, and a helicopter pad.
