Caloroga Shark Media, hindly. Oh, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. The oscar still kind of dominating. Jimmy Kimmel brought snacks, says The Hollywood Reporter. He brought snack boxes that include Shabby Pretzel and Mustard, Mike and Ikes water and a note from Kimmel that said to keep the karma flowing, they’d be providing a donation to Saint Joseph’s Center.
This is the second time that Kimmel has brought that brand of pretzels. He’s currently a big fan. Daniel Feinberg, my favorite entertainment critic and The Hollywood Reporter, wrote, Kimmel is a guy you can trust to do a monologue, and then he’ll hold together the disparate components and fill dead air and generally keep the mood light. He’s a juggler and no matter what Razzie Winner Trump might say, a good award show host. I agree again.
I didn’t think Jimmy had his best fastball on Sunday Night, but I do think he’s a good host. Feinberg seems to agree and wrote that doesn’t mean that Jimmy was always in top form. If I had it title the opening monologue, it would be embracing the hackiness. You had jokes about de Niro’s age and the length of Killers of the Flower Moon. Sorry Jimmy, but if it was bad enough for Joe Coy, you probably needed to go a different way.
Again, I think Jimmy’s monologue was the redemption tour for Joe Coy. Suddenly this isn’t so easy, everybody. I wish Taylor Swift had been there to ice Jimmy Kimmel. Imagine if he said something mean like this, A big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer caliber shots of Taylor Swift.
Who Taylor would have murdered Jimmy Kimmel Finberg growth there was a riff on Robert Downey Junior’s troubled pass that seemed to go on forever, as if Kimmell were trying to say, look, after tonight, he’s going to be Oscar winner, Robert Downey Junior, So we need to get this out of our system, except most people already had. Sometimes Kimmel had a sharper blade, like when he referred to the summer of solidarity among the industry unions, before adding, well, not the directors. You guys folded immediately. That was a solid joke if you didn’t watch. Al Pacino presented the best picture and apparently he doesn’t know how to do it.
As never seen an oscar show. Pacino failed to read the nominees out loud. Pacino just opened the envelope and told the audience quote, and my eyes see Oppenheimer. Backstage, Kelly rip and Mark kN Swellos were doing their thing, and Rippa said, how about al Pacino? Cutting like twelve minutes, twenty minutes, twenty five minutes.
Kinswello said we were back here going like no. Kimble joked, I guess Al’s never watched an award show before. It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go down to the and the oscar goes to But no. And that came after Kim Will had already killed Time played that clip yesterday where Kim Will got in a cut punch to Trump. Kim Will told the story saying, they go, you got a little bit of time, and I go, I’m reading that Trump tweet and they were like, no, no, No, don’t read that.
I’m like, yes, I am. Apparently am a Stone didn’t appreciate Kimmel’s joke that poor Things is only about sex. She was seeing mouthing hmm, naughty word that starts with p R and rhymes with lick. He didn’t really clean that up, John, I know. Thank you hather sending that over.
Good joke by tweeter Rob Dan Bleiker, who wrote is Oppenheimer’s Lash Godzilla minus one the first time a movie and it’s sequel Both one oscars in the same year. Good observation there.
In other news, Spinal Tap coming back.
This is sequel Tap That’s a Bad Name is now in production. They’re filming in New Orleans. Rob Render directs, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer all back. Reiner will also return as the documentarian. Marty de Berge, Questlove and Tricia Yearwood have now joined the cast already announced Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Garth Brooks.
In a statement, Reiner said, I recently spoke to Marty de Bergey, who said he was more than happy to take a sabbatical from his position as a visiting Professor’s assistant at the Edwoods School of Cinematic Arts to once again document Spinal Tap to ensure their plays in the pantheon of rock and roll. The plotz He’s our favorite band, reuniting following a fifteen year hiatus for one final concert. I hope this is good. My spidey sense is saying that this is going to be a mess, but I really really hope I’m wrong. Christina, He shared a video on social media telling us where my Mom’s at.
Her podcast will be going on a short hiatus so the main mommy can focus on being a mommy. We’ve got lots of exciting new content to share with you here at Studio Jeans. There’ll be a few WMMA episodes released, so keep an eye out. Hmm. That to me sounds like candidly and speculating this podcast isn’t making money, it’s not worth my time.
So I went to look at the charts as a website called Chartable, and that podcast Where my Mom’s At right now out of the comedy charts. So I suspect and I might get in a lot of trouble for this. It might come out tomorrow that Christina is taking care of a personal issue or who knows, maybe she’s getting a Brazilian butt lift like Kate Middleton. I don’t know why she stopped doing the podcast, but I speculate this is why are we doing this. We’re not really making money on this, just to guess.
By the way, the Kate Middleton stuff is amazing. Listen to the bonus episode of Palace Intrigue we dropped on Monday. That’ll catch you up on if you missed it. They put out a f pho over the weekend of Kate and then people realize it was photoshop. So now the hole where is Kate Middleton conspiracy is full blown, lots of fun Palace Intrigue rere figure shows.
Rami Yusef is everywhere. Suddenly he’s got that special coming out on HBO Max Max, HBO Max. He will host Saturday Night Live March thirtieth with musical guest Travis Scott’s nice line up there, but he’s really you know, sometimes these comedians going to overdrive and start saying some stuff. I’ve got a story for later in the week where he’s name dropping Taylor Swift. I’m like, I get what you’re doing, romy so expect me to have lots of feisty romy quotes in the upcoming weeks.

Rawlings told The Daily Beast how we found out that Dave Chappelle walked away from that Comedy Central fifty million dollar deal. I found out, like everybody else, through the news, the behind the scenes stuff. David Neil kept it away from us. Neil is Neil Brennan. We weren’t focused on that.
We were just so happy Charlie Murphy went from being Eddie Murphy’s brother to Charlie Murphy. I went from being Ashley Larry I’m rich biatch. We were going back into production for the show. Me and Charlie were a little upset because that meant we had to come off the road for three months and we weren’t going to make that much money. I didn’t really make too much money on the show, and I’m not saying that’s a bitch or anything.
I never bitched about the money I was making on the show because I knew the money I was making on the show was nothing compared to the money was gonna make from doing the show. I would have done that show for free. A regret when we did Chappelle’s show the Lost Episodes, we hadn’t talked to Dave or anything, and Comedy Central had an archive a video they wanted to do something with. I didn’t know Dave’s frame of mind or anything, and when me and Charlie were looking at it, we were like, this might be our last opportunity to do this, and not knowing the politics involved it, and not knowing Dave’s feelings about it, we decided to do it as closure, not trying to get a career, not saying we were trying to be the New Chappelle Show. It was almost like a funeral for that show.
But as time passed, Dave told me he felt uncomfortable about that. So I do regret it. And I said, Dave, if you would have picked up the phone and let us know where you were, all you had to do was say is I’m not infing with Comedy Central, so don’t f with them. But he didn’t say anything. It’s the last night of comedy at south By Southwest at five o’clock local time.
