Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. We have heard from Tom Sagora about his divorce from Christina p. He did this on his podcast. I did clip this down a little bit.

The co host was Ryan Sickler, who kind of stepped on Tom when Tom was getting like serious and emotional, so I tried to take that part out. But let’s hear from Tom. So Goora, all right, we are back, and this is my first podcast here in a while. I know that a lot of people obviously heard the news and saw last week’s episode where Christina hosted it, and I don’t feel a need to like say a lot to people, but it bothered me that a lot of people were like, oh, I can’t believe you would make her go address this alone or like do this on her own, you know, which which couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is that, like we have been recording separate episodes for a long time now, because everything that people know is is not new to us.

It’s you know, it’s been many many months, so this is not like brand new to us. It was many months and we record separately. So her episode was first after our return, so she addressed it first. It was never like, hey, you go handle this, you know, it was just kind of the timing of how that worked, and we both decided to record separately. That’s just what we’re doing.

It’s been horrible. It’s a horrible experience, so I just wanted to let people know it’s privately. It’s horrible. It’s a long experience. It’s emotionally a roller coaster.

Your emotions change often many times in a day. If anyone’s ever been through it or knows anyone, it’s like, it’s not you don’t feel the same all the time, and it’s really tough on you, like personally, it’s really tough going having it be public is it’s awful, you know. I can only tell you that it’s awful. Tom went on to say that the pair are non combative and they talk every day. Tom said, our focus, as you would imagine, it’s just on our children.

We’re just trying to provide the best life we can for them, and we’re trying to take care of them. I’m going to be focused on what I do and, like I said, taking care of the kids. Christina and I will continue to do that. We talk to each other. We’re fine with how things are moving along.

As disappointing as it is, it is what it is in that regard. David Letterman coming back for a seventh season of My Next Guest needs no introduction, now, Dave, I’m not sure about the premise of your show. Sure we all know who Matt Damon, Julia Robertson, Jimmy Kimmel are a pretty good guest list there, especially the Kimmel episode that should be all kinds of interesting. And the fourth guest of season seven of My Next Guest needs no introduction. I think alex Honold needs an introduction.

I was like who. I figured it was an influencer or someone I had to google. Alexander J. Honald is an American rock climber best known for his free solo assense of big wall climbing routes. So, if you’re throwing your phone across the room right now, going, how does Johnny McNatt know who that is?

Sorry, dude, Dave’s friend of me. The worst person who ever lived. Jay Leno is involved with Leno’s Law two point zero Send It Bill thirteen ninety two would extend smog exemptions to cars manufactured between nineteen seventy six, which is the current code off year, and nineteen eighty six. Jay Lenil said, for most people, this is a second, third, or even fourth car that was their grandfathers or their dads, and they’re trying to keep it exactly as it was. They’re not making the car more dangerous.

Under current law, cars over thirty five years old may also be exempt from specific portions of the smog test as long as they’re legally classified and ensured as collector motor vehicles. Under Leno’s Law two point zero, you would qualify if he did one of these the car was at least thirty five years old, insured as a collector motor vehicle, and driven less than a thousand miles a year, two a historic vehicle, or three a special interest vehicle. The law would also grant full smog exemptions to vehicles manufactured before nineteen eighty one that fit the definition of a collector motor vehicle. Jay said, there’s not even enough of these old cars around even make a difference, and as time goes on, more and more of these cars go off the road. You’re making criminals out of people wouldn’t do anything but just hold on another car a little too long and take care of it, which I think environmentally is actually better than buying a new car.

Jay Leno was also on the Awards Chatter podcast and said if he were still hosting that tonight show, he’d probably skipped Trump entirely. That’s interesting, Jay explained. The trouble is the fun thing about doing politics is he exaggerated, that’s the big laugh with Trump, alright, be sleeping with a stripper Stormy Daniels. Where do I go with that? I mean, what do you take?

That’s the reality of it. Jay also said when you don’t like someone starting to make fun of them, with George Bush, I could always go, you know, I don’t think President Bush quite understands, and people would smile, and you know they’re gonna give him a little jab. Times have changed now people are invested in this. It’s very tricky. People.

They go, it must be great. Don’t you wish you were doing it now? No, because I’m not a Trump fan. I don’t like him. I know if I’m gonna say stuff, it’s gonna be meaner than it is funny, you know.

Send your letters to Jay Leno. Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan experience, which is a freeze, you might say, for the AIS to pick up. Joe Rogan waded in on the president switching planes. Did you see that story last week where the President apparently hid in a catering truck. Well, Joe Rogan weighed in on that, and I have made edits for both pacing and language.

So if they flew him out because they were worried they were gonna try to take down Air Force one, and they took the press, the press dies so sad. Oh my god, you just get more pressed. That’s wild. If that’s true, that is so wild that he didn’t even tell them, Hey guys, uh, we’re not really gonna get on this plane. No one’s getting on this plane.

You guys, get out of here, go take American Airlines home. No, He’s like, hop one, Yeah, it’s air Force one. Guys. My gift to you take air Force by enjoy it. There’s food up there, sandwiches on there.

Enjoy yourself. John Lovetz was on the Tonight Show, currently hosted by Jimmy Fallon. He was there to promote Don’t Say good Luck, which John Lovett is in, and of course stars famous Hollywood actress Sonny Sandler. The movie coincidentally produced by Adam Sandler. John Lovettz asked Adam Sandler why he’s always been cast as perverts?

He made the list and wedding singer was a sleez bag, little nicky. I’m a peeping tom grown ups too. I’m a janitor that takes over Jim class with women and then gets them to do all these you know, sexual exercises. And I said, Adam, while you always casting me as a pervert? Adam Sandler apparently said, yeah, I think it’s funny.

Lovet’s praised mister Sandler, saying he’s the best and he’s just nice to you the rest of your life. What if you bash his movies every time you mention him on your podcast? What is your relationship with Adam Sandler? Then? Just a question.

Amazon Prime is bringing Last One Laughing back for a Halloween special that’ll go up October thirtieth. It is called Last One Laughing Halloween. Jimmy Carr returns as host. Let’s see who’s in this one? Tom Allen, Daisy May Cooper, Jack d Phil Wang who had like a lot louse Sanders who had like a lot Rhys Sheersmith and Harriet Dyer.

This time you get kicked out if you laugh or scream since it’s a Halloween special. Jimmy Carr has got a new book coming out is called On Jokes or Why Everything you Know about comedy is wrong The Hidden Mechanics are Funny. It’s pretty long title. It’ll be out in October. The book by Amanda Baker, Abby Grant and Jimmy car wll offer a fully unified theory on making jokes funny.

Jimmy Carr explains more about the book in this clip. Comedy has a simple guiding principle is it funny? Because the question is so simple it makes people think, well, you’ve either got it or you haven’t. I should be good at this straight away. The truth is, anyone can be funny, but until now, no one’s put together a universal theory on how to do it well.

Until now. Director Amanda Baker, comedy writer Abby Grant, and me Jimmy k We’ve written a book. It’s called On Jokes and Who reveals the hidden and genuinely new mechanics of how to make people laugh. If you think I’m funny, you should read this book. If you think I’m not funny and You’re funny.

You should definitely read this book. Comedy is the best tool I know for looking critically out the world. Good comedy stretches the boundaries of what people can talk about. It pushes the edges of the norm and changes the conversation. It fosters free speech and free thinking, not just in the people doing it, but also in the people watching it.

Master the skill and comedy can be magic on jokes. It’s available to pre order now. If that’s not enough comedy books for you, how but one from Wayne Fetterman. He’s got a new version of the History of stand up from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle, now expanded and updated four twenty twenty six, one hundred and eighty pages, tracing the arc of American stand up from pre Vaudeville monologists like Mark Twain an Artemis Ward to the streaming era. It is a standard text in comedy courses at Yale, USC and Emerson College.

Wow. The new chapter adds stand Ups Chaotic twenty twenty one to twenty twenty six Boom, when a single crowd work clip could launch a career, When a top comedian could gross eighty two million dollars in a year. I assume that Sjuir Morgan. And when a festival in Riyadh split the comedy world over money and speech. Wayne Fetterman said stand up is primarily a generational art form, most of it ages like fine milk.

Yet one constant links all these performers across time, a human being standing on a stage alone, trying to spark laughter. Jason Zinnemann, comedy critic of The New York Times, called the previous edition backs so much In such a slim book, smart and deeply research should be required reading for comedy types. Star trek run Or Patton Oswalt said, absolutely riveting chronicle of stand up’s history. This book has it all. A sad note.

Lucy Davis, she played Dawn on The Office UK. She has announced she’s diagnosed with stage four breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body and metastasized into her bones. She explained on social media, specifically to my spine right hip in my ribs. The cancer is incurable, too late for chemo. As of now, I’m trying to live out whatever it might be left of my life, been as fun as a way as I possibly can as some of you know, the pain can be really something else.

Standing and walking for too long of a time can be hard, and I need to use wheelchairs sometimes. She focused on the positive. She’s being comforted by her dog, Greasy. Greasy passed away in twenty twenty four. Lucy Davis said, I’m not scared of whatever comes next.

I’m at peace with it. I’ll see my gracy sooner than expected. And for me, leaving my physical body just means going home. Any and all grieving is for my family. It’s far harder for them than for me.

Lucy Davis is fifty three years old. I wish you well, Lucy. Tiffany Hattish has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor alcohol related to driving charge stemming from her twenty twenty two arrest in Georgia. She was sentenced to twelve months of probation and has to complete a substance abuse e valuation. She will not face additional jail time after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor alcohol related driving charge.

Mary Beth Barone’s Galaxy Brain is coming out as an album August nineteenth on all streaming platforms. It is the same audio of the Netflix special. Jared Freed will get another comedy special for Netflix, this one called The Family Plan. In it, Jared Freed keeps his issues quote in the Family, joking about everything from vacationing with his parents to a Karen video that hits close to home. That’ll be out on September first.

SNL UK has a date for its second series, Saturday Night Live, September twelfth. The show’s entire cast will return twelve episodes, up from eight in the first year. The season once again will be split into two halves. First half runs out October twenty fourth, then the other half in twenty twenty seven. Interestingly enough, the September twenty sixth installment airs the same night that Saturday Night Live USA premieres its fifty second season BBC’s Celebrity Traders.

By the way, BBC Traders is much better than the American version like Night and Day. So for the second season of BBC Celebrity Traders, Rob Beckett will be on. You may know him from last one laughing he is a very funny person. Other comedians on this season Rare Meshwagon, Nathan Joe Last and Joanne McNally. That should be good comedian Charlie Barns is trying to fight the data centers.

There was an event at the or Doc Brewing Company. Charlie said, I’m basically like a big dumb billboard, like a clown saying come here and pointing to the experts. There really is just an off balance of information out there right now, and it’s just trying to even the playing field. It’s good that people are coming together on this, whatever side they’re even in on it, just to be in the same room together and connecting. That’s a huge thing that we started to lose to.

Had a little levity hopefully helps because people are understandably angry, frustrated, and just broken down by this. You’d like more information, check out the Northern Michigan Alliance for Responsible Development. North Jersey dot Com caught out with Ben Bankis. Ben said, you have to put out a lot of content. You have to be willing to burn it and have faith that you come up with something else.

A joke about FIFA, for example, stay in his act for two weeks while soccer dominated the news, I got a few million views and now short shelf life. Ben said, if it’s something that’s happening right away, like the wildfires, that I did a joke about to post it. If not, I’m not going to keep that for a year and a half, then post it. He says, he doesn’t force the process. It’s funny or not.

There has to be something funny about it right away, or it just wouldn’t do it at all. How does he tell if the show was working. I want have fun because then everybody else has fun. That is your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media Tyler. I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News from Netflix dot com. Actually, from What’s on Netflix dot Com. Netflix comedy series Late for twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven and beyond, What’s returning and What’s New. A comprehensive guide to every returning hit and upcoming comedy series heading to Netflix.

Thought would take a look at this. I’m looking at this for the first time returning Netflix comedy series. I’m not going to read everything here, just the ones that interest us. Free Birch will be back Funny af with Kevin Hart Leanne season two in August in twenty twenty seven. Eight hundred Percent cast Vanessa Bear, Nick Kroll, Diane Lane, Jason Mazukas, Sam Richardson, Tiffany Booon, and Lisa Gilroy.

We’re told, if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at influencers pushing the perfect five am morning routine, this upcoming workplace comedy Staler made for you A hundred percent follows a group of friends employed with the Thought Leader Industrial Kompleat, while their self help books, podcasts, and curated wellness lifestyles are designed to help the rest of us live perfectly away from the screens and microphones. Their actual lives are complete and utter disaster. Single camera ensemble comedy that looks like it could be. Okay, we have another adult animated comedy, this one called Dad’s House. Set in small town suburban Australia.

Dad’s House follows Sean, who’s thirteen and spends every second weekend with his laid back but incredibly well meaning Dad. Ian not excited about that. One more animated comedy, this one called Dang expected later this year. This half hour animated comedy follows a brother and sister duo living their best, messy lives in New York City. However, their kaoto a fun comes to a screeching haul when their absolute worst nightmare comes true.

Their highly successful, high achieving older sister shows up out of the blue and actually wants to hang out with them. No thanks, more cartoons, What is going on? This one is called Deale’s a brand new, supernatural workplace comedy that follows the bizarre, eclectic staff of a local big box store whose roster includes a so vaant salesman, a gentle gladiator, a quiet virtuoso, a summiter of the divine, and naturally, the poor soul will actually hire them. No thanks, I’m scrolling down here. I’m not reading everything, but apparently Stavros Algias is in Living the Dream.

Another animated series, Geez, What Is going On? This one centers on London best friend’s desen ray, two guys who are deeply convinced they should have made a big by now Scooby Doo origins Oh no no no, no, no, no no no don’t no no no no. Mystery Inc. Is heading back to live action for Netflix, but this time with a fresh, slightly darker modern twist. Just Don’t, Just Don’t.

Set during their final summer at camp, this eight episode, half hour reimagining follows old friend Shaggy and Daphne as they stumble into a haunting mystery involving a lost Great Dane puppy who may have just witnessed a supernatural murder. People are gonna watch that too. Oh my daughter will like this one. Untitled Hannah Burner and Page Disorbo comedy series’ set New York City, the single camera relationship comedy will star Hannah Burner in page two. Sorbo is fictionalized versions of themselves.

The series follows the two ultimate Wrider dies as they navigate city life, help each other, share their emotional baggage, and emerges the people they’ve always wanted to be. That reminds me so. My daughter’s in her mid twenties, and she obviously knows I host the podcast. She went out her way to tell me how much she like Mary Beth Baron’s special, and I’m like, yeah, that totally tracks. It’s not for me, it’s for you.

And since it’s for her, woman in her mid twenties, she liked it. I forgot to tell you that all week now, Netflix, is it really close to the vest with the stand up specials on Wikipedia? Here we are expecting Kelsey Cooks Happy Hour on August eighteenth and stamp Town on August twenty fifth. Nothing else actually on the schedule. They’ve announced in development untitled Bert Krascher Special, Gabe Leanne Morgan Magga, comedian Nateperghatzy, and Nimesh Patel.

No dates or any information on any of those. Earlier in the week, Rory Scolvel’s special came out. He got the big fancy interview with the Hollywood Reporter. That means his agent’s got it done and it means someone in high only what has decided it is Rory Scovell’s turn, which is why we bought Rory Scovell stock in the Comedy stock Market on Friday. We are told by the Hollood reporter the Mary, Dad and Sissy’s never come up with new material as swiftly and easily as he did in this special.

Rory says, it just kind of came together. He said, there was one brief period in the process where we watched the special, and of course I hated it, but that was before the edit. In the end, he’s proud of what he was able to pull off because it’s tighter and in his estimation punch here that is prior work. Rory says, it’s insane that it took me twenty years to learn how to edit, but better late than never. I am trying to avoid spoilers for the special.

Yeah, I’ll just stop talking there some I’m skipping some stuff. I don’t want to ruin it for you. I’ve read a few articles that have ruined it for me, so we’ll skip parts about the content. The Holid reporter asked Rory Scovell about the era of stand up where now Rory said, I think political identity is such a thing now in what we do, and I don’t know, it’s kind of like everybody’s got to pick a side to play to. I don’t necessarily love that people would go, oh, this is a liberal comic, or this guy, well it’s liberally so these will be his opinions or his takes.

I’d rather be me going, well, no, these are my takes, and whatever category they fall into is what they fall into. But I don’t want anyone to think I’m intentionally playing the left. It’s almost impossible for me to intentionally play to the right. It’s just not my soul to do it. But it isn’t like I sit here going I think the left is great, there’s nothing wrong with it.

I’d rather be like red and blue or all under a spell. So with this hour, it feels like I tiptoed in that a little bit to figure out how to do it in a bigger way in the future. There’s some political stuff in the special, Rory says. I know there’s gonna be a lot of people who turn it off, and there’ll be a lot of people that give me crap about it. But it’s like, well, if you can’t indle that you have no curiosity about what led me to that, I’m probably not your flavor anyway.

Minor spoiler. In the special, Rory jokes it’s good to be in a blue state, Washington, even if red states are more fun. Hother reporter guests, that’s a joke rooted in some truth. Rory said, I should maybe rephrase what I said. It’s not like I want to go in and be contentious.

What it meant is I didn’t want people to think, oh, you do it in a blue state because that feels safe. I do the same show wherever I am, and my expectation is that they should laugh at it because I think it’s really funny. But other people who do get offended or hate the show because of the politics, because they can’t look pass certain topics and opinions. And that’s why I addressed it in the show. I say, you’re gonna act like liberals, and I can’t tell jokes because that’s who we all say can’t take a joke.

I could tell you what it feels like when parts of the room don’t like it, and I tend to look in that direction a little more just to see maybe my energy needs to play to them, but what does it look like. Well, some people would get up and leave, which I get. I did the show in Wilmington, North Carolina, at a comedy club before I really started the tour, and I got ackled. I said something about Trump, and this guy goes, you really think Biden was better for us? And the whole audience goes, yes, he just got to watch this.

One guy be like, wait, everyone really does think that, and then the table got up and left on their own accord. Afterwards, someone was like, yeah, it was a convicted jan sixer at that table for real. I was like, that’s just proof that anyone will come to a show. They don’t need research. They’m gonna be like, Oh, what’s the comedy flavor?

It’s so baffling to me. Another minor spoiler, Rory jokes in the special comics we have to go red to make a little green, which is clearly a reference to the manosphere, says the Holly Reporter. Rory said, I don’t know if I have a relationship to it, and I think it was like, oh, there’s a lot of comics. I didn’t know we’re so politically on the rightabouts up until the atmosphere shifted, and I think that’s why it seems like a lot of them shifted towards that, because there was money to be had in it. Whether that’s true or not, I couldn’t tell you.

But if it is true, there’s just no integrity in that. I think I’d rather not gain some sort of massive audience and not make millions of dollars and retain my integrity, mainly because the rather my kids see that version of me a lot more Rory Skolhl stuff. I think we’ll save all that for at least tomorrow. The Mike Apps Festival is back for a third year. Hosted by Mike Abbs, the three day festival promises to bring live music, comedy, health and wellness to Indianapolis August twenty through the thirtieth.

Epp said in a statement, Indianapolis has supported me throughout my entire career. This festival is my opportunity to give back to the city that made me. It’s about bringing people together through comedy, music, culture, and community while creating opportunities that can make a lasting difference. Baranka Slowkowska, you know her from SNL and Shane Gillis Tires. She is going to start in Stephanie Bride to Be.

In Stephanie Bride to Be, Stephanie played by Slowakowska, is at her proposal party, which becomes a slow motion melt down while she waits for her boyfriend to arrive and pop the question. As Stephanie scrambles to keep the night for falling apart, she must gettend with her flighty parents played by Amy Sedaris and Michael Imperioli, which when I first read that, I was like, Wow, Michael Imperioli is playing a dad, And then I realized, oh, I’m a dad. Like, I don’t know why I feel like Michael Imperioli is too old to play a dad. I’m a dad. I have children in their mid twenties.

How was Imperioli now he’s sixty. Michael Imperioli is sixty. Do you feel old now because I just told you Michael Imperioli is sixty? Goes fast, people, Boy, it is really hot in the basement today. I gotta get a fan in here.

It’s a summer Sunday. Let’s do one more and go outside or something here will do this. When a stand up comedian says he’s confident he has a second world record. He’s trying to be verified for running the fastest half marathon while dressed as a microphone. Tan Hudson ran thirteen point one miles.

He already holds the record for fastest marathon by a man dressed as a microphone, but for the half he did it in one hour forty eight minutes. Not bad, he joked. I actually had the world record for fastest marathon dressed as a microphone, and I had to take that record off someone as well. I saw the half marathon on the calendar, I thought, eh, let’s do that to be a great one to try and get the world record, to be really crazy, not to take the double and get the fastest half marathon. The costume was made by a fellow comedian for him.

The run was documented by a friend who rang alongside him. Hudson said, sometimes someone will be running next to you for like twenty seconds trying to get my attention. I’d be like, oh, Hi, what do you want? He admits, my legs are always a bit sore after race like that, but I’m kind of used to it. It’s I can’t complain.

That is your comedy News on a summer Sunday. I’ll see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, I’m Johnny Mac and on Saturdays this summer, I’ve been doing comedy deep dives. Today we’ll take a look at Ralphie May, who was a friend of mine. Two days before he died, Ralphie May won Casino Comedian of the Year at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. He was performing a residency at Harris.

Ralphie was also sick. He was battling pneumonia. He had to cancel a few shows. He went to the ceremony anyway, accepted the award and posted about it on social media with the hashtag no apologies, which was close enough to a personal philosophy for Ralphie May that it functions as his epitaph. Two days later, October sixth, twenty seventeen, he was found dead in his Las Vegas home at forty five years old.

The way Ralphie May died, having just been honored for a career built in casinos and clubs rather than on streaming formers or podcast empires at age forty five is a summary of a career that didn’t get the recognition it deserved when it was happening, and it has gotten even less since had Ralphie been around now with streaming and podcasts, the guy was amazing. Ralphie doesn’t come up in the rotation of names when people talk about the great comedians of his era, and I’m going to talk about those folks for the next few weeks. Let’s start at the beginning. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, raised in Clarksville, Arkansas, and by age sixteen, had been in a car accident serious enough to put him in a coma for ten days and leave him with multiple broken bones. At age seventeen, he won a radio contest that gave him a chance to open for Sam Kennison.

Opening for Sam Kennison at seventeen, Perhaps if you’re younger, you don’t understand the power of Sam Kennison. Sam was one of the most combustible and important comedians of that era, a former preacher who turned his entire religious background into fuel for one of the most ferocious stand up styles anybody had ever seen. And No, Jesus was never married. Guy never had a wife. No one I was never married because no wife would buy this story.

In one hundred years, the disciples will, the believers will, No wife would buy this story. Good luck, good luck with this story. First of all, he leaves on Friday afternoon with twelve other guys. He’s gone. He’s gone for three days, no message, no way to get in touch with her.

He comes home Monday afternoon looking like he has a slapped It seems like he’s partied out. Man, Missus Jesus just waiting. Well, I’m glad you can find your way home, Sada. Where’s your twelve friends? Won’t get a job?

How are the Yeah Disciples? My hash? They’re loser. The first time you saw Sam Kinnison, you were absolutely like Wow. Sam was playing in big rooms and generating controversy.

The comedy world was paying attention, and a seventeen year old kid from Arkansas opened up for him. That time, Sam was the hottest comic in the country. I mean it was like def Leppard coming to town. It was huge, and so I entered the contest. I won the contest.

On the way over, Sam was like, hey, kid, are you nervous. I’m like, no, I’m not nervous. Kid. There’s going to be thirty five hundred people there to night, and nobody paid to see you. That kid, Ralphie made did well enough that Sam referred him to Sam’s home club, the Comedy Workshop in Houston.

But the Comedy Workshop a close by the time Ralphie could get there, so Ralphie wounded up at the Comedy Showcase of Houston club that catered primarily to black audiences. It was at the Comedy Showcase where Ralphie May learned how to perform.

And now that you have that nugget, if you’ve seen Ralphie’s performances, you…

It was a white kid from Arkansas playing a black room, developing timing and crowd work skills in a context that’s more demanding and more direct than most of the rooms where white comedians of his generation were cutting their teeth. He talked about what that did for him. He said, you can’t hide in that room. The crowd tells you immediately and honestly whether something’s working, and the standard for being genuinely funny rather than technically competent was higher and less forgiving. Then in two thousand and three, Last Comic Standing, that’s probably where most people first encountered Ralphie May.

If you don’t remember that show, I hated it. It was NBC’s attempt to do for stand up comedy what American Idol had done for singing, a competition format with a live audience, real comedians, weekly eliminations, the whole thing. I’ll progress for a second. Why I hated it is there were people doing well on that show because they had a good twenty seconds. They had a good minute.

That’s different than having five or eight or an hour. And I was programming the comedy channels that’s serious, and people would walk down the hole and be like, Hey, how come you never play so and so? And I’d be like, because so and so has twenty seconds of material. I was not a fan. Ladies and gentlemen, how about a big round of applause from Houston, Texas for mister Ralphie May.

Hey, what’s up. My name is Rolfey May. I’m from Houston, Texas. I now live in a place called the Hood. I like living in the Hood.

And my resolution this here, because I’m living in the Hood, is it was not to lose weight, because at this point, screw it, you know what. I mean said, this is more than a diet coke fixed. You know what I’m saying. Kids? My thinging this year was to.

Be correct, not politically correct anymore, Okay, because I’m tired of it. You got to think about what group, and it’s too much. It changes all the time. I just want to be correct, Like I don’t say African American, okay, because I don’t say European American for white people. I say black folks, right, what you’re right?

Right? Plus I live in the hood. I ain’t never met black people. Hear any y’all been to Africa, That’s what I thought, Morgan Dame, yacht or someplace. Y’all being like Compton Americans, right, Inglewood swap me to American Vietnamese New Salon American.

Ralphie was an audience favorite. He was funny every week. He was likable. Note had more than twenty seconds. But who won?

Dad Fan? You remember Dad Fan? Right? Okay, come down here. I want to pack joke for you.

We’ll got to do it right now here we’ll go. I’m just gonna speak English. I’m just later her parents. Hey, don’t want to do that. My mom’s like, fang, that’s not funny.

Do you want to make fun of us? You want to find it? You wanna make fun of ancient time? Do you want to be a smock Iley? Do you want the smock check?

And a PA’s a beil. Like mom, chill out? I know to you, I know, chill that fang. Don’t tell me what to Q. I do want to want to che I till now because I want.

To chew I kill you. See this is what I’m saying about that show. Remember dad Fan? Have you heard of dad Fan? In twenty years?

No? Dad Fan? Vietnamese American comedian from San Diego, who’s fine. He has said in interviews since that he was as surprised as anyone that he one. The audience vote didn’t go to Ralphie.

Ralphie thought his weight was a factor that audiences at the voting stage made a calculation about who they wanted to be the face of the show, and the fat guy from Arkansas lost that calculation. Is that right? Is it wrong? Who knows? But Ralphie finished second.

So a random memory of Ralphie that I have was I was watching the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon which I’m actually gonna do a deep dive on that as well. And my father loved that thing, and I remember putting it on late at night Millanite, and on comes Ralphie May, and I can’t believe the clip is actually online. I’m gonna play somewhat for you now. I want you to pay attention here. So this is not a Ralphie May crowd, right, this is whoever’s at the telethon late at night and outwalks this comedian.

So it’s not his people. And if you listen here, you’ll listen to him. This struggles a bit of a word. But like the crowd’s not like hooting and hollering. They’re not really reacting early on here he’s not really getting laughs.

But listen to the laughs as he just fights through it. I can’t believe this clip exists. And here’s Ralphie May on the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to laugh. We welcome Ralphie May.

Thank you for having me, and thank you for almost applauding till I got my big ass to the microphone. Appreciate that. Thank you, Thank you everyone watching at home the vampires on the East Coast, thank you for watching the telethon instead of the girls going wild Info Marshall one handed. Appreciate that trying to make the wad a better place. You know what I’m saying.

I’ve had a great week here in Vegas. I had a great time at the South Point Casino. It’s hilarious here. It’s I’m from the South, so for me, the amount of mullets that are here are tremendous. There are a lot.

Oh my gosh. I set up at Dearstown, not in front of the South Point Cassina away for him to come in. I haunt the mullet Ida, I’ll call him. I’m like Mala Mala, Mala, Mala, Mala Mala Nascar, Nascar, Nascar. I sprinkle little crystal math on the ground.

They’ll come right to you. They really well. If you work with them and build up a trust, they’ll take the tobacco right out of your hand. It’s awesome. They are tremendous.

Now about slipping into a bit of a naughty joke there on Labor Day, that’s great. His debut album Just Correct in two thousand and five went platinum. That doesn’t happen. It happened for Richard Pryor and Steve Martin a handful of others, and it happened for Ralphie May in two thousand and five, then Comedy Central specials Griffa a Nation in two thousand and six, Prime Cut in two thousand and seven, Austentatious in two thousand and eight, too Big to Ignore in twenty twelve. Four full hours for Comedy Central in six years.

There were also two Netflix specials, Unruly in twenty fifteen and Imperfectly Yours in twenty sixteen. It was named one of Variety’s ten Comics to Watch in two thousand and eight. We do have to talk about Raffie’s weight, because that is part of the story. At one point he weighed as much as eight hundred pounds. He talked about his body on stage constantly and brilliantly.

The self deprecation was genuine rather than performed. Some think the comedy industry, at its gatekeeping levels makes esthetic judgments about who gets to be taken seriously, who gets the premium booking, who gets talked about at festivals and industry events as the future of comedy. Ralphie may, by any objective measure of audience size and the quality of his output, belonging to those conversations, but never really broke through. His crowd work was extraordinary probably the best of his generation at the specific skill of taking what was going on in the room and turning it into comedy in real time. But crowd work back in those days didn’t make the highlight reels.

I’m telling you, I saw this guy perform live more than once, and every time I saw him, he killed. He was amazing. The casino years are the most misunderstood part of his career. Ralphie May, for roughly the last decade of his life, built his career around casino residencies and theaters markets that the prestige comedy circuit doesn’t prioritize. The casino circuit done right is one of the most demanding and lucrative ways to build a sustainable stand up career.

You’re performing for large rooms multiple nights a week, you’re developing material at a big pace, and you’re reaching an audience that’s not the usual comedy club crowd, which means you’re actually doing harder work in front of rooms than aren’t. Automatically in your corner, you know, somebody goes, hey, here’s two tickets to go see the comedian. They’re not necessarily going to see Ralphie May. They’re seeing a comedian who happens to be Ralphie May and Ralphie was good at it. I knew Ralphie personally.

At one point we were doing some radio shows on Serious and I hung out with him in La I’ve told the story on the main podcast a few times, but I will tell it again here today. I know at some point I was hooking up with them. Maybe you picked me up at the hotel. I don’t really remember. I do remember that we were driving around in his car and we were eventually going to go to the radio studio, and he asked if I minded if we got some food while he got his car detailed, and we did exactly that.

We went and got his car detailed, and then we got Mexican food somewhere, and just like an awesome guy, cool guy to hang out with. I always enjoyed my time with him.


And then every year at Christmas time, he would send me a bottle of dom and a…

I would have played his stuff on the air whether he sent me something or not, but I was appreciated that he appreciated that his stuff was being played, and it was genuine It wasn’t some sort of hey, let me butter up this guy so he plays my stuff for Ralphie. Was not like that at all. It was a genuine thanks after I parted ways with Sirius, just as an example of the kind of guy he was. Now I’ve talked about this before as well. In show business there are people who are you know, your actual friends.

I’ve called out Larry the cable guy many times on this show. He’ll come on here. He doesn’t need to do this show. He’s doing it because we’ve been friends for twenty something years. So when I left Sirious and I started working at Slacker, we wanted to do some stuff with comedians being guest DJs, and I called Ralphie and asked him to do it, and he said sure.

They went over to the studio in Nashville and did it again, just favor for a guy he knew that was definitely a situation where that was gonna help me a lot more than it helped him. But sure, no problem, John, happy to do it for you. That’s what kind of guy Ralphie was. I think of him often and I do miss him. He was a really really good comedian and a really really good guy.

Ralphie may back tomorrow with a normal episode.

Here’s an update on the vandalized pool. As you can say, there’s still some green in there, but we’re getting better and now vandals have added leaves, so I don’t know what is going on that. Johnny macau is that the same shirt is yesterday’s video. It is my friend, because I’m doing pool work and got up in the morning and just started to clean the pool, and I don’t want to wreck another shirt. You make one Chlorian mistake.

Forget it all right, let’s chick in for poolside. What’s happening on Friday? A couple good listens check out for sure. Joe Riven had on Mark Norman, Shan Gillis and Or Shafir. That is a good listen.

We’ll talk about that in a second. And Stavros Halkias is on the Popcast and that is really good. The Daily Beast does not like Nypergatzy. They’re giving him a hard time. If you’re not hip to the joke.

They keep referring to him as Maga comedian Napergazzy because he would do UFC fight on the White House lawn. I mean, guys, stop giving him trouble. The Daily Beasts headline today Mega Friendly comedian Shane Gillis may have been willing to attend Trump’s UFC birthday cage fight at the White House, but he drew the line being photographed inside his VIP room unlike he forgets. Gilius told Rogan, let’s start bringing that up. They asked me to go in the VIP room and I said, no way.

I’ll play clips of that on my audio podcast on Tuesday, as I’ve recorded a little bit ahead summer weekend guys, but Robin’s definitely worth a listen. Uh Starvros on the podcast, and they’re doing a great job getting the clips out there and they are stirring it up. One of the clips is about other podcasters getting political. Stavros said, some of the other comedians have the dumbest opinions on earths. I’ll play that on Tuesday as well.

And he also has tooked about how a list comics just want to be seen as successful as possible. They want to play in arena for a rena sink. They want to be the kind of guy like they want to be on a private jet. That sucks. I want adversity because nobody gets funnier on a private jet.

The real danger for comedians isn’t getting older, it’s getting rich and losing touch. One more thing this is worth your listen. Seek out on Instagram Jonathan Kite. He does these impressions of Anthony Bourdain that are wild and Kite as Boordain just went to Pizza Hut, which is a lot of fun. Mike Burbigley has canceled a bunch of shows he’s been touring with John Mulaney.

Burbiggs went on social media and said, I wanted to let you know the dream project of mine came together this September, which is great, like really really great. I can’t wait to tell you more. I think you love it, but I can’t tell you yet. That said, I’m no longer to be able to perform some dates on the John Mullini Mister Whatever tour coming up in September. Netflix is adding SCTV Second City Television.

I think that’d be good. I haven’t seen that show in years and Netflix putting it under everyone’s nose. I think we’ll see an SETV resurgence. Good call there. Late Nighter revealed that Jimmy Fallon won the Late Night A Wards again.

This was a week when Fallon was new and Jimmy Kimmel’s show was showing repeats of Jimmy Kimmel Live hosted by guest hosts, so it’s not really a true comparison, but I continue with my opinion that Kimmel should have worked the summer and not taken the summer off, and he’s opening the door for fan to challenge him as the new king of Late Night. And on tomorrow’s audio podcast, a deep dive about Ralphie May, who was a friend of mine and a really great dude. Got to spend some time with Ralphie. He did me some favors when I was no lover at Sirius and didn’t forget his friends. And he was a friend and I miss him and I think of him a lot.

So tomorrow on Daily Comedy News audio podcast, a deep dive on Ralphie May. I’m going to go fall asleep in the sun. See if

Caloroga Shark Media. I kind of showed today we’ve got STRIFEI I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser fires agent Uta quote without warning, jumps to rival w me that from page six, Yeah, apparently Nicky fired her agents without warning and that members of her team didn’t know this was happening. Nikki Glaser had been with UTA since twenty eighteen. A source told page six crazy considering what Uta built for her the last five years.

You may recall Nicky was, you know, just another comic with a relatively successful podcast. Then she went on the roast of Tom Brady, got the Golden Globes gig, and now is establishment Nikki Glaser. While at Uta, Nikki Glaser became the first woman to ever host the Golden Globes solo. She will return to host the show in twenty twenty seven. A second insider noted, no nobody can figure it out.

A third source pointed out Uta turned her from a respected comedian into a mainstream cultural force. Tap the brakes on mainstream cultural force. She is a good comedian all, but mainstream cultural force. Relaxed with that, Nikki Glaser assigned with WMM in all areas including comedy, motion pictures, television, books, literary media, brand partnerships, podcasting, music and more interesting about the music there. Shane Gillis has teamed up with bud Light and Peyton Manning and there are new commercials.

I went to pull the audio, but they’re kind of visual jokes. Peyton Manning. The stars in arm Chair a predicament every NFL fan has found themselves in at least once you know the drill. You’re comfortable in your favorite reclining chair, but you need to get up to grab a beer. Problem is you don’t want to lose your seat.

When I used to hang out with the fellas and we would watch football for fourteen hours. We were younger. Then we had a rule. If you said you were coming back, you got to keep your seat. But if you’ve got to say the phrase I’m coming back, your friends could be like, oh, I thought you left for the day and steal your chair.

It was a lot of fun because people would forget you would lose your spot and yeah, you forgot to say you were coming back. Anyway, in this ad, Peyton Manning won’t give up his chair. He flexes his muscles and carries the reclining chair with him to get his beer. There’s another ad I saw where Shane kind of cuts Bayton off at the bar. Peyton is waiting for the bartender’s attention and Shane walks in front of him and asks for a bud Light.

Todd Allen is the senior vice president of Marketing for bud Light and said, with two hilarious new commercials featuring shaneon Peyton and are iconic team cans, giving fans a chance to upgrade their experience all season. We’re making good fun to fan out and celebrating the great lengths fans go to as they do anything for their team, and a bud Light on a game day. Peyton Manning said, and I’m setting this up because you’re gonna hear what Shane said. Bayton Manning said, this bud Light campaign truly cashures what it means to go great lengths for your team and showcases how fun it is to fan out during the NFL season. He got the statement there, I had similar language.

Partnering with bud Light is my favorite NFL kickoff tradition? Is it really you want Super Bowls? Dude? And bringing Shane into the action this year made this one even funnier. I can’t wait for kickoff.

Shane gillis is quote, I enjoyed shooting the s Budlight commercial with Peyton, and that’s why we love Shane Gillis. THEO. Vaughn went back to Vanderbilt to give a speech. He did the same thing during the twenty twenty five season. Vanderbilt tight ends coach Brandon Flaherty said when he spoke last year, it was a little bit more of him being a comedian.

This was a little bit more like a legitimate message to Vanderbilt football, and it wasn’t getting last and stuff. It was more like, I really appreciate everything he said. No players or staff have revealed exactly what theovon said, but the coach said he crushed the speech and that theovon understands what the program is about. THEO was at two of Vanderbilt’s fall camp practices through the first five days of camp, and it was a fixture around the scene in the twenty twenty five season. Last year, Vaughn said, I feel like I just showed up when they were winning.

Oh, it’s pretty fascinating me. I’m an underdog man. I’ve been an underdog my whole life. That’s the only thing I love from Radar Online, which tends to be gossipy. And I know that because I write the Palace Intrigue podcast about the royal family every day and Radar Online tends to have a lot of gossip and a lot of unnamed sources.

But this one made me chuckle. Apparently Adam Sandler and Ryan Reynolds are locked in Hollywood’s hottest rivalry, and Taylor Swift plays a major role. There’s some clickbait for you, Radar says. A source close to Sandler called rumors of a feud a lie and deny it that the two Hollywood stars even know each other. However, an insider said, Adam and Ryan aren friends.

They’re competitors and that’s not going to change anytime soon. It really comes down to their origins show business. Adam was not an overnight success. He grinded it out in obscurity as a young man first and stand Up then in the early nineties on Saturday Night Live. He’s always written his own material, and now he draws on the friends he made on his way up.

Like Jennifer Aniston and Chris Rock It’s the populatest films for Netflix and the Big Screen tells us. On the other hand, Reynolds got his start as a child actor in a Canadian TV series that aired in the US on Nickelodeon. Sor says, Ryan really never had to cut his teeth the way Adam did to get on American TV, and when it comes to US films, Ryan takes a more mercenary approach. He turned Deadpool movies into global hits precisely because he doesn’t rely on people that he’s known since he was in his twenties. If Ryan sees dollar signs, he’ll put someone in his movie, Raider tells us, amping up the rivalry even more.

Sandler has emerged as a major player in Taylor Swift’s social circle. A Sor says, Adam is all about loyalty and long term connections, and he’s well on his way to fortune. That kind of relationship with Travis and Taylor that has to drive Ryan Reynolds absolutely nuts. The Sandler family was at the red carpet premiere of Netflix’s Don’t Say Good Luck, which happens to star Sonny Sandler and happens to be produced by Adam Sandler and wife Jackie Sandler. What a weird coincidence, and this movie’s airing on Netflix.

Imagine that weird. Told the Sandler is all dressed the way he would on a red carpet. Adam wore a bright blue polo shirt covered in flamingos, electric blue track pants and sneakers. Sonny Sandler, who’s seventeen, got booked on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Now, Jimmy Fallon might know Adam Sandler from Saturday Night Live, that’s possible, but what a great guest for Jimmy Fallon to get Sonny Sandler.

On the Tonight Show, Sonny shared details about impersonating her dad alongside older sister Sadie, who’s also an actress in some movies. Sonny Sandler said, when me and my sister were younger, we dressed up in his clothes before that was popular and cool, the big shirts, the shorts, We held die cokes and yelled about the air conditioning being off, and then we jumped in the pool with our socks on because Adam wears his socks in the pool because he can’t bend to take them off on land Fallon was asked for confirmation that Adam Sandler wears socks in the pools and if Adam takes them off once in the water. Sonny confirmed that Adam Sandler does take his socks off once in the pool and says yes, and then he’ll drain them and you play catch with them. Now, at the time this recording, my pool is still somewhat great. We have not yet found the vandals who made the pool turn green, as pools sometimes do due to vandals.

It has nothing to do with how much chlorine I put in it last week during the rain vandalism. I’m telling you we’re going to cash these people. I digress. Remember Chelsea Handler commented about Joe Rogan making eighty two million dollars for the Joe Rogan Experience Joe Rogan on the August fifth episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. John, why do you keep saying Joe Rogan Experience.

Here’s why AIS read the transcripts for these things now. And I don’t know if you’ve tried to look anything up on Google. Everything goes to AI first, So I’m trying to rank anyway. Joe Rogan, host of The Joe Rogan Experience said on The Joe Rogan Experience about Chelsea Handler, that’s funny, she’s rich. That’s crazy, that’s what she said.

I make too much? Is there a certain number I should make? Late Night Er tells us Conan O’Brien has a new band. No, not like a new band on a TV show. Conan host Conan O’Brien is in a band.

The band is called the vagodas Conan O’Brien on vocals and guitar. It’s a five piece and apparently they did a set Monday night and played a mix of rock and rockabilly songs, including Elvis Costello’s Radio Radio. The Vagoda’s name is a tribute to Abe Vagoda, who if you’re old, you know who that is. If you’re young, I don’t know. I don’t know how you would know him.

You’ve probably never seen Barney Miller, and you probably haven’t even seen Godfather movies. Maybe you know Abe Vagoda from appearing on the Conan O’Brien television shows. One bit was a vagodal eclipse with a vagoda passing in front of the camera, like, you know, like an eclipse. You know how an eclipse works. Conan recalled that the show could come up with something ridiculous hours before taping, call a vagoda, and he would happily come over and do it.

Michelle wolf is inviting audiences into the creative process with Page two Stage three, that showed up on Punch Up Live earlier in the week, alongside her new eighteen minute special Irish Courage. The behind the scenes Docky series examines the comedian’s trial and error process of building, testing and refining new material. Page to Stage’s third installment follows Michelle wolf She spends two weeks traveling through the Irish countryside, writing with a trustee Purple Pin. Wolfe says, my favorite part of stand up is new jokes. Every joke is a little problem that needs solved.

Some of this happens on stage, and a lot happens off stage. That’s the part audiences almost never get to see. Page to Stage lets people in on the feil jokes, the rewrites, the random moments that somehow become bits. I wanted to challenge myself by seeing how many minutes I could write and turn it into actual bits in fourteen days. I loved making this.

I’m excited people can experience both the journey and where it ended up with Irish Courage. Fans can purchase page to Stage three on Punch Up Live for five bucks. An edited, censored version of Irish Courage will be released on YouTube. The uncensored version will remain available on Punch Up Live exclusively tomorrow on this program. This Saturday, Deep Dive will be about my friend Ralphie May, an actual friend of mine.

I’m not like we weren’t like best friends, but like hung out with the guy. Rarely heard from the guy. Guy, did me favors good, solid guy Ralphie May. Deep Dive and on Sunday a normal episode. I could assure you it as a normal episode because I just bounced a bunch of stories from the first half here, because we’re getting a little long, but it is Friday and it is time for the Comedy stock Market.

Comedy stock Market, Thank you, Bert Reynolds, Voice of the Comedy stock Markets. Every week we look at comedians as if they were stocks, and we try and sell high and buy low, maybe not always by low. And the third example here, all right, who are buying this week? Johnny Mac, Let’s buy some Starvos Ouvius. You know he’s getting commercials with the NFL.

He’s in the boord Ain movie. I know you guys know who he is. But I feel like the general populace is going to start to turn into this guy, and he’s got a special coming out. So we’ll buy some starvars Halkias. Let’s buy some Rory Scobell.

Why John Well, Had I not bumped all the Rory Skobel stories from the first half of this podcast today, I would have told you how awesome Rory Scovell is. But now you’re gonna have to tune in Sunday here all that stuff, and we’re gonna buy some Shane Gillis, which is kind of like buying Applestock. But I could tell you there was a time when I was at Sirius and Applestock was forty eight dollars and that’s like a million splits ago, and I was like, forty eight, it’s not gonna go up from there. I remember when it was twenty three A true story. When I first started working at Serious, I had gotten an iPod because I knew I was gonna be commuting to the city and I wanted to have a cool device.

Like that, and I thought it was amazing, and I wanted to buy Apple stock, but you can only buy one hundred shares, and I had been out of work for six months. I didn’t have twenty three hundred dollars to mess around with applestock, so I didn’t buy it, but I always kept an eye on that.

And then I remember when the video pods came out.

It was at forty eight, and it was like forty eight, it used to be twenty three. It’ll never go up, but it keeps going up and up and up, much like Shane Gillis. So we’re gonna buy Stavros Halkias, buy Rory Scovell. I’ll tell you why. On Sunday, We’re gonna buy Shane Gillis, even though he’s already high.

But the man is crushing it. No sells this week, Johnny Mac, you’re in a good mood. Yes. Congratulations to Bill Bellamy. He’ll be presented with the Icon Award at the twenty twenty six What’s Funny Comedy Festival.

I like Bellamy a lot. I saw him live million years ago in Aspin, I think, and he just was great. I’ve always enjoyed him the What’s Funny Comedy Festivals co founded by Knowledge Beckham and Lil Rel Howiy with the mission of spotlight black and brown comedians and make Chicago the next great home of comedy discovery? Was Chicago not guys? Guys, guys, I get what you’re trying to do here, but let’s not act like, oh, Chicago has a comedy scene.

Why didn’t anyone mention this? Basically, everyone who’s huge right now, Mulaney Nate came out of Chicago. What are you talking about again? Good job, but let’s not act like Chicago was some sort of comedy secret. You know.

I hear Austin has a comedy scene too, Yeah, in Los Angeles and New York and London. The festival’s third edition will be held September nineteenth through the twenty sixth venues throughout Chicago. More than fifty comedians from twenty cities will perform in showcases. Now all on If they’re from twenty cities, how does that make Chicago the home of comedy discovery? It means like I have to go to Chicago to be discovered.

Is that what you’re saying here? I’m so confused, but I’m happy for Bill Bellamy, who will receive the Icon Award during the inaugural What’s Funny Today Show Chicago Comedy Legend ceremonies, say that twice I got it on the first try. I kind of stumbled, but I didn’t do a retake there. That’s on September twenty first. Bellamy will be honored alongside fifteen Chicago comedians whose careers helped shape the cities comedy legacy.

I’ll have to find a list of these people. On Deadline. Matt Ruby had some comedy wisdom. It includes and I like these the wisest paths who stand up success. Now start a beef with someone in the rogan sphere and hope one of those YouTube gossip mongers clips it up.

That’s not bad advice. More, we underestimate how much they killed Tony phenomenon. It’s just about geography. People in Baton, Rouge, El Paso and Tulsa want exposure too, and they certainly ain’t getting in from any local platforms. Slash NYC, slash LA, slash industry sue.

Yeah, he’s right. Matt Ruby writs. One thing stand up comedy teaches you is how terrible drunk people are at whispering and say farewell to the notion of big closers. Online, twice as many people will see your first joke as opposed to your last joke. We’re now in the age of big openers followed by diminishing returns.

Maybe that’s why comedy specials I get bored after fifteen minutes most time. You know, you probably nailed that there, Matt Ruby. And it’s very hot in the basement today, so that’s going to be a wrap. You got a full show. I mean, check your watch.

It’s not like I had it in a seven minute episode. This was pretty robust. Tomorrow a deep dive on Ralphie May Sunday, normal episode with a bunch of stuff I bumped it from today. Catch you then,

You know, it’s funny and doing the show sometimes there’s like nothing and that I do one more Google, I find three more things. So I got to the end of the prep today and I typed in Nikki Glaser, Jay Leno and Rogan and I went like three for three. But let’s start with Nikki Glaser. We are at the lake this afternoon. We are not poolside.

Page six dove in on Nikki Glaser firing Uta and going with WME. Apparently you know who’s behind this, The Kardashians. That’s right. Nikki appears with Kim Kardashian in the upcoming Netflix film The Fifth Wheel, so you know it’s going to be good. In The Fifth Wheel, produced by Kim Kardashian, we follow a group of high school besties who attempt to reconnect during a weekend haunt to Las Vegas.

Page six reports Kardashian is ripped by WMA and Niki was enamored with Kim. Nikki has previously said of Kim Kardashian and Nikki is a star hugger. Let’s just be honest about it. She’s a star hugger. Nicki said she was always someone I was like, I think I’d like to get to know her.

She just gives great advice. She gave me some like insane life advice that literally changed my life. It was just a really hard decision I was making, and she just had a respect upon it that no one else could have offered me besides her. It helped me have the strength to do something I was scared to do. She’s a really good friend.

You know. You wrap these movies and you kind of go in separate directions, But me and the cast, we’re all still chatting all the time and keeping up with each other anyway. Now, Nicki glazers with w ME. David Letterman coming back for another season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction Season seven. The guests Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Kimmel, and alex Honold.

I had to look up the last guy. Alexander j Honold is an American rock climber best known for his free solo A Sense of Big Wall Climbing. Roots. Can’t say that that guest list excites me. But I haven’t been into this incarnation of Letterman at all, I guess for purposes of this program.

The Jimmy Kimmel episode will be quite notable, so we’ll afford to that. John Lovetz was on with felon the topic Adam Sandler and I’m in Sandler mode today. If I got my Champion T shirt and my Matt’s hat, we could be friends. Adam Lovettz asked Adam Sandler why Sandler always cast John Lovevitz as a pervert. Apparently Sandler’s answer is, I think it’s funny.

Love It’s said of Sandler, he’s the best. You’re nice to him once, and he’s just nice to you for the rest of your life. Maybe I should be nice to the guy. The guy’s a great, great dramatic actor. J Kelly’s awesome on cut Gems is awesome, Space Movie’s awesome.

The comedies that so good. So Jay Leno I googled him and I was like, oh, look, they’re working on Leno’s Law two point zero. Senate Bill thirteen ninety two would extend smog exemptions to cars manufactured between nineteen seventy six and nineteen eighty six. Leno said, for most people, this is a second, third, or even fourth par that was their grandfathers or their dads, and they’re trying to keep it exactly as it was. They’re not making the car more dangerous.

Under current laws, cars over thirty five years old may also be exempt from specific portions of the SMAG test as long as they’re legally classified and insured as collector motor vehicles. Leto’s Law two point zero would changed the law. You’d have to fulfill one of three categories. One a car at least thirty five years old, insured as a collector motorco vehicle and driven less than one one thousand miles a year. Two a historic vehicle, or three a specific interest vehicle.

Leno was also on the Awards Chatter podcast talking about not doing politics in his act. He said, the trouble is the fun thing about politics is he exaggerated, that’s the make laugh with Trump? All right, you sleeping on the strip or Stormy Daniels. Where do I go with that? I mean, where do you take it?

That’s the reality of it. Jay Leno added, when you don’t like someone, it’s harder to make fun of them. Send your letters to Jay Leno. I saw this on Threads. I like this a lot.

You know how, like everything on Netflix gets like one season that’s okay, and then if it comes back at all. The second season sucks and things get canceled. Guy named at Luke of Miami on threads posted Apple TV has maybe figured out the secret that no other streaming services figured out. The one factor it sets them apart from the rest really good content and not treating customers like garbage. Yeah, they pretty much threw a bunch of money, really competent directors and insanely thorough vetted screenplay, and so they am mastered a frankly and same list of banger programming.

And then they get Maggie It. Even if basically nobody watched the show, they would renew it and give the show runner a chance to tell her full story. This is genius on several levels. One, the audience gets to see the full story play out. Two, the directors and screenwriters working with Apple TV.

No, they have much greater support to tell their stories. And three actors are signed with Apple TV. No, they won’t be something dropped on a dime tank. Of all the non flip shows that you started that just like either don’t come back or come back like so long hey in the future, that you’re like, I don’t care anymore. And that happens a lot so a good note there from Luke Miami and that’s it from the Lake back in the morning with a normal audio episode see then

Caloroga Shark Media, Trumpulzaide. I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Shane Gillis was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. We learned that Shane’s mother did not go to the big show at the Football Stadium, and Shane told Jimmy, oh my mom didn’t go to the show. She was on vacation.

She texted me to be like, my heart’s with you. Good luck. I love you. I was like, you’re in Croatia, You’re having fun. ESPN has hired Stavros Howgis to be the star of a new Football’s On campaign.

Standing in front of a huge screen with multiple mini video boxes of ESPN programming, Stavros says, this, there is so much NFL on ESPN right now, it’s disgusting. I love it. Monday night Football’s on, the pregame and postgame are on, and then like four more shows about those shows every week. I don’t speak Roman, but I’m pretty sure Super Bowl sixty one is on NFL network is now on the app. If they had any more football, might doctor have some words?

Now? We’re good sick. Football is on. This is your life now Ricky Gervais was on This Morning in the UK last week. Co host Josie Gibson asked Ricky Gervas how he stays grounded despite his success in being absolutely loaded.

He said, am I grunted? I don’t know. I think it’s because I made it when I was forty. If you make it when you’re eighteen, it changes you. I was already fat and I hated the world, and you got the same friends as his family as well.

I don’t think I could be anything other than this. Sebastian Manaskago admitted that scheduling a round of golf in August in Las Vegas might have been a mistake. Basian said, everybody’s been telling me it’s hotter than the sun over there. I don’t know if I should maybe cancel the golf because doing eighteen through one hundred and twenty five degrees, I might not make the show. The topic of Sebastian’s hair came up again.

We learned he used to have a mullet. He said, I played soccer, and back in the eighties, if you’re playing soccer, for some reason, he had long hair. He even attempted to have his mullet permed, but his hair was thin to hold anything beyond a wave. Amy Schumer has her first kid’s book out. Isn’t This exciting?

The author and comedian tells people, I love doing things that scare me. If it scares me, I’m doing it. And this scared me. If something makes me nervous, it’s like an opportunity. Let’s try and get better at it.

This is my first attempt at a children’s book, and I hope to get better. It is called a Joke of her Own. It’s all about a little girl who wants to write her very own book and take ownership over when people laugh at her. And that’s inspired by Amy Schumer’s own childhood, as well as a message she tries to impart to her son, Jean, who’s now seven. Amy Schumer said, when my son was younger, we would be laughing because he did something so cute and he’d feel laughed at.

I remember I did my first play when I was five, and whenever I’d come on stage, the audience would just start laughing. And it’s because I was like this little girl with her pigtails. They would laugh and I would get really down after performances. Finally, the director said to me, what’s going on. I just said, hurts my feelings when they laugh at me, and she said, no, it’s a good thing.

When you make people laugh. It means he made them happy and they love you. So I try to teach you my son the same lesson The message in the children’s book A joke of her own is about the importance of hard work when you want to get better at something, and the value of comedy, especially for kids. Oh there’s more. Amy kept talking.

She said, I think kids also get frustrated a lot when they aren’t grated something right away, and you just have to teach them over and over again that it’s about practicing and really working hard. It’s really a love letter to my son, of course, and to all the little class clowns out there, you know, because I remember getting in trouble a lot for making people laugh, and I helped to encourage more teachers, more parents to laughter be part of raising their children and looked at as a positive thing when a kid shows an affinity for comedy. My favorite part of the days, right before he goes to sleep and we read books. We’ve done it since he was born. Just this nightly really cozy thing, and I keep worrying it’s going to go away, but he loves it and depends on it just as much as I do.

And she keeps going and going, and I can’t even a joke of her own. Will be on shelves March ninth. It’s available now for pre order. Count Williams caught up with Afrotech. He said, my journey’s been independent from the beginning.

There wasn’t a blueprint for a comedian paying for his own special, licensing itself, and then repeating the process over and over again without relying on endorsement, sponsors or traditional system. And I built it ourselves together. Honestly. I made a decision a long time ago that I would keep touring for as long as people kept showing up. Twenty four tours later, we’ve played more than four undred cities, well the ninety one percent sell out rate, performing exclusively in arenas.

What’s even more remarkable is that we do it without the traditional promotional machine. You don’t see me constantly posting asking people to buy tickets or doing radio interviews in every city to fill seats. The audience comes because we’ve built a relationship over decades, over the course of those twenty four tours, we’ve sold between two and four million tickets each time. That kind of loyalty is something I don’t take for granted. It comes with an obligation.

My promise has always been that if people keep coming, I’ll keep giving them a brand new wire of comedy every time they see me. Fourteen comedy specials later, that’s still the commitment. My job is to continue the conversation we started back in nineteen ninety five. As long as people want to be part of the conversation, I’ll keep showing up. Leslie Jones weighed in on the New York Nicks.

She was asked about this notion that Jalen Brunson is the greatest Knicks player of all time. Leslie Jones vehemently disagreed, quoting Leslie, Oh, y’all kids, y’all just love to do BS. I mean that’s just such effort. Come on, okay, we can’t be together if you got that BS on you. He’s not the best.

No, it’s a very popular stance. Host Speedy Mormon said, it’s a very popular stance. A lot of people feel that way. Leslie acknowledged Jalen Brunson’s greatness, especially in the NBA finals, but said, listen, he brought them a championship. And I’m telling you that boy’s good.

I would say he’s one of the best knicks. One of the best knicks, but the best. Nick y’all doing too much Kathy Griffin, And anytime she’s mentioned on the show, it’s always, you know, something really positive. Kathy Griffin had a nice day. Kathy Griffin went to the park and said hi to people and got along with everybody, you know.

And then occasionally a Kathy Griffin’s story will have some sort of strife and angst in it. Well, Poor Kathy says her former friend completely ignored her after her Donald Trump photo shoot. You may recall back in twenty seventeen, there was a little kerfluffle. Kathy Griffin did something I don’t even want to repeat it here again. I don’t want visits from the guys with the sunglasses.

You know what I’m talking about. You remember the story. I just want to talk about comedy anyway. Kathy Griffin said she unexpectedly crossed pass with U Fighters frontman Dave Grohl while traveling through JFK Airport, and she believes Dave Grohl deliberately avoided acknowledging Kathy Griffin. According to Griffin, she spotted Dave Groll while browsing in a newsstand, but chose not to approach him immediately because she had become accustomed to people in the entertainment industry distancing themselves from her following the backlash over her controversial photo shoot.

Kathy said, then Dave acted like he didn’t know me. Maybe he didn’t see me because I’m so hard to miss it a newsstand. Then I thought maybe I should go up to him. I thought, no, if he’s being like this because of the Trump head picture scandal, it’s just going to be awkward. That’s why I say.

My former friend still an A plus musician, but it has some issues as being the only nice student in rock and roll. Maybe okay, Dave, you know you saw me. He and I used to be kind of friendly. During an interview on Australian television in August of twenty seventeen, Kathy Griffin said, stop acting like a little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing. In November of that same year, she apparently said I take that apology back by the way, I take it back.

Big Time City based comedian, filmmaker, and actor Edie Motica’s debut comedy special I’m Just Like You and It Sucks Now has release date September seventeenth, eight pm on YouTube. We are Told through unfiltered storytelling, Edie Motica discusses her longing for human connection and all the way she’s contorted herself in search of it, whether it be talking to stains on our aunt’s carpet, making out with a pair of brothers on a cruise in two thousand and seven, are talking to a stranger about his late girlfriend who died in a car accident. Edie will stop an nothing to feel and spread love to the world around her. Edy guides the audience through her life as an angry, poor kid, a sexually deventeen, all the way to where she is now, a poor yet slightly famous, sexually deviant adults with a passion for human connection. Edie Mootica said, we’re all insane, complex perverts, which means none of us are And isn’t that beautiful?

Worn and raised in New York, from Nyak to Bay Ridge to Ridgewood. She’s best known for her role in Jury Duty Season one, The Good Season I Couldn’t make it their season two. She’s also one of Ulture’s comedians you should and will know. The Toronto Guardian has a regular feature about comedians we should know them, Mysterian the mind Reader. On his driver’s license, it says Christopher Justin Doyle, But Mysterion the mind Reader blends off the cuff tongue in cheek comedy with impossible psychological feats.

Mysterion says, I lighten my show by not taking it too seriously and allow a lot of audience play to create a fun environment and welcoming the atmosphere while still performing some impossible psychological feats. His influence is the amazing Cresken Doug Henning and as for characters, I’m a huge fan of classic wrestling, with some of the bombastic ones heavily influencing my nuances and even look over the years. Favorite comedian growing up, Red Fox is the goat. Favorite comedian now Jimmy Carr and Jim Jeffries are a high I also enjoy the comedy of Canadian improv genius Ken Hall. Ken Hall of the Two Man no show.

I don’t know Ken Hall. We’ll have to look up Ken Hall one of these days. Favorite place he’s played Mysterion said, the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, is the world’s most prestigious venue for magicians, and having had the opportunity to work there over one hundred shows was my dream come true. There’s been a lot of random press about Star Treker and or Pat Oswalds. He told Forbes his approach to comedy specials, It’s been kind of a steady thing ever since my first special, which is I’m always doing stand up.

I’m always thinking of how the next hour is gonna gel. He did this interview right before his special drop that said he was in that weird period before the special drops, where I’ve got a lot of new stuff, but there are things I can still do from the special because no one had seen it yet. You’re kind of saying goodbye to a lot of the stuff you’re dependent on. No one’s going to kill But then you remember there were these other hours they’ve written. It’s like going through life, you keep going to meet new people.

Comedy is the thing that I do, so I think of a special album is okay now we’re checking in a year down the road. Here’s what’s happening. See in another year and a half or so, and then we’ll check it again. I’m always doing it, but you don’t need to see the whole process of me going up on stage Tuesday at the Laugh Factor. You’re a Sunday at Largo working out new stuff with a piece of paper to see if this works.

They’re like editions of magazines. Here’s how I’m feeling it this year, at this time, at this age. And that is your comedy news for today. I’ll see tomorrow.

Checking in Poolside. Now. It’s super loud out here today. There’s no as Kate is. There’s somebody over that way.

They got a dumpster or something that The truck noise has been crazy. There’s dogs and there’s a smell. I think something died in the woods. Roy Skoles new special is fantastic. There was one point I laughed out loud for a full minute with a bit of a head fague joke.

That really got me. I like that one a lot. I’m looking at my top nine for the year so far. Still Chris Fleming number one, that from HBO Live at the Palace. I don’t see how anything’s going to top that.

That is just that specials on another level. But right now I have Rory Skoleflett number two, second best special of the year. You’ll find out on Netflix. I highly recommend you watch it, and I highly recommend you don’t read vultures spoiler laden review of it before you watch it. The other one I have in that top tier right now is Royan Hamilton that was on Netflix in June.

That one’s called Then It hit me. I like that with a lot. Then we’ll gap down a little bit. Trevor Noah’s Special Netflix and April Joy is pretty good. Kat Williams again Netflix, Netflix having a good year here that came out in February.

That was pretty good. Beat Holmes on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla back from February, well good. I have that at six. Derek Stroops Nostalgic is good. Romy Yusef said, Love and Jackie Kashan’s after Cation.

You’ll find on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla. Everything else I kind of have on a lower tier, and from time to time I’ll do that on the full audio podcast. I’m doing this one on the fly. I haven’t actually read this, but Tom Sagora has weighed in on his divorce from Christina p Let’s see what Segora said here. On the Wednesday episode of Your Mom’s House, Sigora said, this is my first podcast here in a while.

I know a lot of people obviously heard the news and saw last week’s episode when Christina hosted it. I don’t feel the need to say to a lot of people, but it bothered me that a lot of people were like, Oh, I can’t believe you’d make her go address this alone or do this on her own, which couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is we’ve been recording separate episodes for a long time now because everything that people now know is not new to this. It’s been many, many months, so this is not brand new to us. We both decided to record separately, and it’s just what we’re doing.

It’s a horrible experience. I just want to let people no, it’s private. It’s horrible. It’s a long experience. It’s mostly a roller coaster.

All right, I’ll pull the audio from then we’ll do that on the long form audio podcast at some point. The other thing I had this is totally random. I was on Reddit and I saw somebody talk about this is for the old people on the Brady Bunch. Remember Peter Brady did pork chops and apple sauce. Remember when he was doing that?

What was that? And the big question, who’s that an impression of? So I went down a Reddit and ai rabbit hole and I’d be curious, who you think pork chops and apple sauce is. The default answer is Humphrey Bogart. And when I looked at that, I was like, Humphrey Bogart, how’s that?

Humfrey Bogart? Other possibilities. Jimmy Cagney w C. Fields, a friend of mine, suggested Don Adams from Get Smart. But I don’t know what that is, or why that was funny, or why Peter Brady was doing that.

If you have an answer, please let me know. And that’s it from Poolside Today. Check out the long form audio podcast wherever you get your shows, and I’ll see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Pool side once again. We have the entire winter to sit in a basement. We got to be outside the pool, still green, still looking into the vandal situation there.

Shane Gillis was on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and I have a premise for you. Jimmy Fallon very talented, I stick up from a lot, but he’s just not a good interviewer. I have some proof here he is asking San Gillis about the concert in Philadelphia where Sheen Gillis sold seventy six thousand tickets plus. And here’s Jimmy Fallon doing something bigly resembling an interview. Last month, though you broke the Guinness World Record for most tickets sold for a comedy show by the solo comedian.

Over seventy six thousand tickets were sold. Talk to me, Uh, yeah, it was crazy. Did you did you ever think that that was possible? To you have any idea that you could fill that? How did you even gamble to think that you could?

No? I didn’t. I don’t think anyone should do that again. No, no, no, no, no, I know it. It was a great experience.

No, it was cool. Uh no, I sold. Uh. I did a show in Philly like two years before and it sold pretty well.

And then I was at an Eagles game and the guys that work worked the stadium we…

And then they kept pushing it and it was funny because they were like, we’re gonna have to move it around the World Cup. I’m gonna bump like going on. But it was a crazy show, right, it was crazy. Did you bring out uh? Did you bring us any special guests?

Yeah? It was Uh. Meek Mill came out first and saying Dreams the Nightmare, of which I was I was cool. Uh. We had Ban Margera introduced them.

That was awesome. Great. Kelsey was up there, then my buddy’s Matt and Big Jay, and then I brought out Chappelle and then uh, yeah, come on, that’s all you come on. My favorite was there was a surprise musical guest at the end, and I know the entire stadium thought it was going to be Zach Bryan and it was a very I don’t know if you can tell, it was a very white audience. It’s about seventy seven thousand white people.

Yes, that’s a different record. It’s a different record. Congratulations. And it ended up being I brought out three six Mafia, which, yeah, that’s an audience. I thought it was very funny.

Thank you, rutes. Conan O’Brien must go, Season three, August twenty First, there is a triller. I have scoped this down for pacing. In many places. I’ve seen many things.

This is the best travel show. The other celebrities, they look like a wax figure. Not me, though, Right do you think I should do maybe a little. Something, a little on beforehead? Tell me when I get to the right amount.

Right there, you met the white person in and it’s I’m not just a white person. I’m the whitest person. Let’s stop right here. Don’t make it worse. You’re talking to the wrong guy, because I love to make it worse.

The cops are mad at John Oliver. Oliver took a swing at a Southern California police department on HBO, and the rialto police department blasted John Oliver after he criticized the agency’s use of privately owned security cameras, accusing John Oliver of painting a misleading picture of how the technology is actually used. The department said John Oliver segment did not accurately reflect how the Rialto Police Department utilizes this technology or the safeguards the Governor’s use. During these segments, apparently Oliver had claimed that the police effectively pressured new businesses into giving police access to their cameras and exchange for permits, joking the business owners will have to decide whether opening an Neil salon is worth being a narc on passers by Captain lamontc Worker, a department spokesperson, said, no business has ever been denied permission to open because it chose not to participate in the program. There’s a hole back and forth there.

I’ll let them fight it out, but I like this joke from John Oliver, who said, and if you worked at the Chick fil A, just know that on one Tuesday afternoon, Rialto had five of your interior characters open for two hours straight, which feels a little weird to me. Oliver also joked that getting secretly watched in your swimsuit is not supposed to be one of the perks that’s staying at a day’s end. The Hollywood Reporter profile that Jimmy Kimmel and they right to say Jimmy Kimmel had an eventful year is to utter even more of an understatement than Regis Filbin had a bronx accent. I worked with Regis Philbin. I never questioned his accent at all.

Maybe because I have a queen’s accent and I’m from New York City. I never thought Regis had a bronx accent. Did he? I’m not sure that’s accurate. We digress.

DHR said it was an intense TV season for you. What we remember most? Kimmel said, no question. What I remember most is the reactions who are unschedulification, which went so far beyond what I could have expected. I’ll never forget the sport from friends, strangers, and even of those who generally make me throw up.

I will tell you here that was such a huge story. I use AI to analyze the stats on the show to help me tweak the contents a little bit. You know, I want the show to grow. I like when people listen to the show. I try and talk about things that people care about, and that whole Kimmel thing actually did bigger numbers than the whole Colbert gate and every day the AI is like, what were you talking about?

Then? Why do you do more of that? I’m like, what do you want me to do? Should I call the President and ask him to take Kimmel Show away? I could do that.

I could also ask him what to do about this green pool I have here? And apparently kim Will agreed to this to promote Millionaire, because then the conversation went to millionaire. What’s the hardest thing about hosting millionaire? Kimmel said, pronunciation, even the word pronunciation is hard to pronounce. A celebrity he’d like to land on the show.

The Obamas would be a fun team.


Also, Hall and Oates.

Hall and Oates don’t get along anymore. One of them sold the publishing rights and the others mad at them. They don’t get along. THHR. We’d be putting up another billboard for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to win the Late Night Emmy, Kimmel said, we’re hoping this time they’d get one for us.

THHR. Does John Oliver need to be stopping now that he’s back in your category? Jimmy said, John Oliver deserves every war that gets awarded Star trek Runer Patton Oswalt is a fan of HBO’s at the Pit. Patton was in US Weekly’s twenty five Things You Don’t Know About Me feature. Patten said, Season one of the Pit was the last thing I binge.

The whole show was amazing, but episode twelve. Then he spoiled Episode twelve that was a masterclass acting, writing, directing all of it. Had to watch that episode twice. We also learned that the star trek Runer is a night owl who really wants to be a morning person. Growing up, he idolized Charles Schultz, you know the guy that drew Snoopy, Vincent Brice, and the six million Dollar Man.

His first car was a nineteen eighty five Nissan CenTra, which he called a death box with a tape player. His go to karaoke song is not three Times by Tony Orlando and Dawn. Patten says, I love banging the MIC’s stand on the ground or in the Knock Knocknock part A great drunk belter. Celebrity crush growing up was either Joy Harmon from Village of the Giants or Josie from Josie and the Pussycats. Leslie Jones has revealed the SNL host who was effing up so badring rehearsals.

The entire cast thought it would be one of the worst shows ever. So who was it? It was Woody Harrelson, who was not good, but once the camera started rolling, Leslie said the man became a whole different person. Jones was on a recent episode of First We Feasts Slice Joint and said when wood he came at the time, I think he was smoking weed and he was not good in rehearsal. He was effing up so bad.

We were like, this is gonna be one of the worst shows ever. Once the camera started rolling, that man became a whole different person. We were quick changing. We’re like, Woody, you’re killing it. He was like, did you guys think I was going to do bad or something?

And we were like, yes, em Murpher, you are efving up. Yes, Johnny Macluk’s a good comedian. Beefle. Jeff Dye said he caught fellow stand up performer Laura Kitlinger scrolling an insult across jeff DiY’s Tesla windshield after the two performed on the same comedy show That’s Not Cool. Don’t do that?

Die? Says the moment was caught on his cars built in security cameras. Di went on Gutfeld and posted images from a video he said was captured by his Tesla security cameras, and said he had never met Laura before the sho show and that she’d seemed friendly enough beforehand, though that you didn’t speak and she left before he went on. He said he assumed she hadn’t realized who car was when she wrote douche in the fog on the windshield, calling it strange behavior for a sixty year old adult. I wonder in his theory whose car he thinks she thought it was that she would write douche in the fog on the windshield.

Well, it turns out Laura confirmed writing the word and posted her own account of the exchange, along with screenshots of messages she said she later sent mister Dye. She said she’d been bothered watching him criticize a comic who had just performed, and argued the reaction to her post should be embarrassing to tough guy misogynists. She apologized and called her decision impulsive, saying she should have raised her concerns with mister Dye directly rather than writing it on his car. DIY pushed back on Twitter, denying that he was crying out and insisting he was simply holding her accountable. His management later gave Fox News Digital statement asserting that his car wasn’t otherwise vandalized.

Peacock has dropped a first look at its upcoming arc cheological comedy called Dig Dig. Stars Amy Poehler as a lease, a member of a dedicated group of archaeologists and less dedicated college students who spend their summer working at a dig site in Greece. All ten episodes will debut Monday, November twenty third. On Peacock, we’re told their discovery of a rare artifact sends them on the adventure of a lifetime. I can’t wait.

The Baltimore banner is mad at Eric Andre. Currently on a round table, eric Andre said I’m never going to Baltimore again. Made that city burn to the ground for what they do to me. He did not explain what it is that Baltimore does to him. John Cena, on the round table jumped to Baltimore’s defense and said, don’t do that.

That’s the birthplace of National Bohemian Beer. It says from the land of pleasant living on the can. Don’t do that to Baltimore now. The Baltimore Banner points out, while National Bohemian famously got its start in Baltimore in the late eighteen hundreds, the now Paps Brewing Company owned beer is no longer brewed in Baltimore. Sena kept going, he said, Brooks and Frank Robinson, come on.

He then named to Hall of famers calaribicin Junior and Jim Palmer. But it remains unclear why Eric Andre does not like Baltimore other than experiencing quote a trauma there. But he did not elaborate. That is your comedy needs for today see tomorrow

I thought I’d do another one of these casual pool side things, just check on some stuff happening on Tuesday afternoon. I’m fascinated by this. Nikki Glaser has fired Uta without warning, unquote on Monday. Members of her team didn’t know this was happening. So this is interesting, right, So Nicky’s kind of sailing along and then does the roost of Tom Brady and then she’s a superstar and the Golden Globes and what’s going on here and Insider toil page six.

Nobody can figure it out. Uta had turned her from a respected comedian into a mainstream cultural force. Okay, tap the brakes on mainstream cultural force. Good comedian, people like her, but mainstream cultural force. Relax, Relax, relax by Blazer assigned with WME in all areas including comedy, motion pictures, television, books and literary media, brand partnerships, podcasting, music, and more.

We are reminded other A list comedians are wrapped by the NC, including Amy Schumer, Chris r Tina Fey, and Adam Sandler.

Speaking of Sandler this from Radar Online.

They tend to be pretty gossipy. Sandler and Ryan Reynolds are motkin Hollywood’s hottest rivalry. Oh really okay? His source close to Sailor called rovers of at feud to lie and said, the two power players barely even know each other. I deal with Radar online a lot on the Palace Intrigued podcast where we talk about the royal family, and they tend to gossip a lot and tend to have a lot of unnamed sources.

Look today, I’ve got on my peaks and professors. This is a haiking group in California. Let’s say we are told Sandler wore a bright blue polo shirt covered in flamingos, electric blue track pants and sneakers. And I think I saw somewhere else that the sneakers are red. Joe Rogan chime back at Chelsea Handler.

Make whatever you can make?


And now today on Netflix, Rory Skolell’s new special, seeing a lot of good bu…
