Caloroga Shark Media. Hi, O, Adam Sandler had a great birthday. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Adam Sandler kicked off his comedy tour and brought out Vanilla Ice. Vanilla Ice came out and did Ice Ice Baby.

There’s footage. I shared it in the Facebook group. Please feel encouraged to join us in the group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group. The clip is a wonderful mix of fun and train wreck.

Also at the show Kevin James, who makes Adam Sandler look like George Curlin.

Sandler and Vanilla Ice also played some pickup basketball with the USF Bulls. Coach Honson posted on social media shout out to Sandlor and Ice for stopping by the m Uma Center to run some pickup with the Bulls. Big time vibes Only in Tampa Bay’s home for hoopsne Pragazzi hosting the Emmys on Sunday a lot of Nate press out there. He did a long interview with cbsdy Morning. Nate discussed the days back when he would play for free at small clubs and said, I would never trade it, I would never go back.

You just didn’t know better. There’s nothing better than when you don’t know that there’s better. He had moved to New York and then in twenty fourteen he moved back to Nashville, and he said, you know what, I always thought it was the first thing I didn’t do. That was for me. I wanted my daughter to grow up in a normal situation, as normal as it can be, and was like, all right, let’s move back.

I’m gonna move back. I just didn’t tell anybody could fill out from CBS. We worried there was gonna be an impression like, well he moved back to Nashville, he’s given up comedy. Nate said, that’s why I didn’t tell anybody, because they’d think I would quit, and I was so scared of that, so I didn’t say anything. Filming has wrapped on The bread Winner.

Nate says his characters a bumbling dad, not too dissimilar from his real life personality. He explains, we eased into it. I ain’t crying in this movie. I can tell you that in the movie have three daughters, and you know I have one daughter. He started talking about the theme park.

I’ve shared my opinions on that in the past, but Nate said, I’m not gonna be able to go to every city in America for the rest of my life. So I want to build a place where you can come and if you and your wife and kids are eleven and they want to go run off on their own for second, I want that to have. I’m doing this tour, I plan on doing one more tour after that. I need to go do movies and I need to build that world up and learn how to do all that stuff. So I’m going to dive into that aspect of it.

I can see myself being and making movies for like another fifteen years from allowed to I mean, it might all fall apart. Nate likes playing golf. It’s kind of like stand up. You’re kind of out there on your own golf. You’re so much thinking about what you’re doing out there.

I realized I can’t turn my brain off. I just need to direct it to something else. He hosts the Emmy’s on Sunday. Right before that, he’s doing back to back arena shows in Denver and says, I kind of know how to operate in this chaos, and if you pulled me out and gave me a month off. I think I’d be lost.

Right now, Let’s keep going. We’re in a good groove. You kind of don’t want to stop the groove. Yeah, keep touring, keep doing stand up. I’m telling you I’m going to be on in this podcast in like ten years, still from the basement while you have your millions, But I will be in the basement going.

Remember that time naprighets he thought he was gonna open a theme park. I’m one hundred percent eventually going to do that story. Paton Oswald has a sub stack, and I thought this was really interesting. He’s got an upcoming show at the Horseshoe Casino, and he writes, the venue holds twenty six hundred and twelve people, and as this moment, I’ve sold wait for it, two hundred and two tickets, two hundred and two in a room that size. But Paton writes, but now comes my conundrum, I kind of want that to be the size of the audience.

Yeah, he doesn’t want this show to sell more tickets. He explains, two hundred and two people in a room that seats two thousand plus is strangely appealing to me. There’s a real cinematic honesty is zeroing in on two hundred people in a vast, mostly empty venue. If the Horseshoe holds at a low audience count, I know that show will be something unique, unlike the shows I’ll do in Milwaukee and Flint. It’ll become this event that I and those two hundred people will probably think about and missed all life’s other work and entertainment that melts in this huge gray slurry of memory.

That one will pop, good or bad.

---

And now I’m obsessed with it.

It hasn’t even happened, and I can’t stop envisioning it in my mind. It’s a bleak, hopeful, early seventies movie about perseverance and grace in the autumn landscape near Leading, Michigan. It’s the kind of Netflix special Terrence Malick would have filmed. If you’re one of the two hundred and two people who are holding tickets of the show, I truly can’t wait to see you. We’re gonna make sad existential magic that night.

That’s awesome. Everybody’s mad at Bill Moore. Nothing new there, he weighed in on the Late Night Stuff. It is Bill Moore’s opinion that Colbert Stewart Oliver and Kimmel very predictably parent whatever MSNB was saying, I’m not knocking them. The audience and of course half the country was like, well, this is just insulting to me.

Leno never did that. Leno just played it down the middle. He was like, I’ll make fun of everybody and in a different sort of way what I’m doing. I just don’t stop criticizing just because you’re on the left part. If you do something stupid, I’m gonna call you out, no matter who you are.

Bill Maher also talked about a famous politician and said, a crazy person doesn’t live in the White House. A person who plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is efed up. It’s just not as effed up as I thought it was. I wonder if Bill Moohr has any thoughts about any recent drawings. Anyway, Moving on, in New York City, there was a Stephen Colbert lookalike contest.

It was sponsored by Political Action Committee move On. It was both in and of ursary celebration. It was the there was weird semantics. Colbert’s camp was calling it the tenth anniversary of the Late Show, which I guess is technically accurate because David Letterman hosted Late Show with David Letterman no tch at the beginning there, and then Colbert renamed the thing, So I guess it was the tenth anniversary of the Late Show, But what you really meant it was the tenth anniversary of Colbert hosting the thing? Does it matter now?

Some of my brain thinks, anyway, you look alike. Contest was both an anniversary celebration and a protest of what they call this suspicious timing of the show’s cancelation. Justin Krebs is the leader of Special Projects and Move On, and he said when Stephen Colbert called out the BS of CBS’s capitulation to Trump, our members around the country were excited, relieved, and inspired because since the beginning of his administration, we’ve been looking for entities that won’t capitulate to Trump, and then days later the show gets canceled. Whatever CBS says, there’s too much of a connection there. Late Nighter tells us a bunch of would be Colbert’s turned up chasing their dream of a free slice of pizza and a two hundred fifty dollars a gift card.

The judges stressed that the contest was less about looks than essence and vibe. The grand prize went to Nancy, who’s pitched that Colbert run for president in twenty twenty eight. Something Johnny Mack has floated on this exact program, went over the judges and secured herd the trophy and the gift card. After the contest, the crowd marched the two blocks of the Ed Sullivan Theater. They started chanting, We’re calling BS on CBS love It, a banner called CBS the capitulation broadcast station.

The day ended with cupcakes and a birthday cake in honor of Colbert’s tenth anniversary as host of The Late Show.

---

Speaking of Colbert, he’ll be one of the presenters at the Emmys this week.

That should definitely be interesting television. Johnny Max gonna have to work late Sunday night. I can’t hand in one of those pre tape Mondays where I blow off the Emmys and Nate hosting it and Colbert is showing up and Colbert may be winning an Emmy. So Johnny Max will be watching both the Emmys and Sunday night football on the split screen and then doing some recording probably around ten thirty PM, which does mean anytime I record that late, usually when it’s like Dmmy’s or the Oscars or something like that. So on a normal day, I record kind of midday and schedule the podcast for three am, but when it’s like already eleven PM, and then I just put it out, so you might get an episode very late Sunday night, but it’ll be there in the feed Monday morning regardless.

Anyway, some of the presenters Stephen Colbert, Sidney Sweeney, she’s been in the news. Let’s see who else will we find interesting for this program? Tina Fay, Leanne Morgan, and for some reason, Jeff Probs for Survivor. Okay, dmmy Sunday, eight pm, East five West. Earthquake is going to tape a second special for Netflix.

This will be out September thirtieth. It is titled Joke Telling Business, described as a no holds bar hour of unfiltered comedy that cements him as one of the sharpest and most relatable voices in stand up. We also learn Earthquake is developing a scripted comic that he’s producing with Bill Burr. Very Interesting Do not So canceled Disease and Sorry in the news again. Entertainment Weekly caught up with him.

You may recall back in twenty eighteen, there was a sexual misconduct allegation about Disease and Sorry. That’s not what we’re talking about today. You may also recall he’s about to play the re Odd Comedy Festival, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. Do not so canceled. Disease and Sorry told Entertainment Weekly he’s eager to spend time together with the Parks and rec cast.

As long as he gets a decent enough check, he’d be down for a reboot. He doesn’t even need to see a script, he said. I’d love to spend time with anybody from Parks, even if the show was terrible and we just got a decent enough check. We got to spend time together. You know, I have a certain Dennis Leary song stuck in my head.

Be right back this Sunday. Not just the Emmy is. There is a fundraiser for Saint Jude Children’s Hospital. It’s the Comedian’s Cross Up Cancer Fundraiser. Comedians Sammy Anzer and Mike Hawkburns have partnered with the Basketball Social House to present comedians cross up cancer fundraiser.

They will raise money for Saint Jude’s Sunday, September fourteenth at the Basketball Social House in Centennial, Colorado. Watch stand up comics with no skills hit the court for chaos, laughs and charity. You should see. If Sandler’s in town, you’ll come. Because technically this press release does not say watch stand up comics with no basketball skills.

It says watch stand up comics with no skills. And Adam Sandlor is a comic with no skill. Well, he’s a good dramatic actor, but comedy he’s just terrible. And I think he is actually decent at basketball. I digress.

Watch stand up comics with no basketball skills hit the court for chaos, laughs and charity, complete with live roast, commentary, high jinks, prizes, and a halftime dance. Last year’s event raised one thousand dollars for the Saint Jude Children’s Hospital. There’d be a bunch of comedians there. This sounds really cool. Go to event bright and search for stand up guys and that’ll take you there.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Leanne Morgan is getting a second season of her TV show. She put out a statement. We’re coming back for a second season, and I’m so grateful to all the writers’ producers, Netflix, Warner Brothers, our amazing cast, and especially for all the fans of the show. Y’all did this for us.

We can’t wait to be back. I yelled upstairs to my wife. I’m like, hey, Leanne Morgan’s show, they brought it back. She said it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good, and I’d rather watch her clips.

Interesting take from missus Daily Comedy News there. But I’ll tell you Missus DCN knows her TV and I say that because of this next story. She will often take the dog to the dog park and she one day said to me, you know this would be a good show. Well, apparently the Australian ABC overheard her conversation. They have started filming in Melbourne for a six part comedy series called wait for it, dog Park.

Yeah. In Dog Park, we meet Roland, who’s grappling with a midlife crisis. He encounters the ever optimistic Samantha and her quirky, life loving circle of dog park regulars. As Roland reluctantly returns to the park, he slowly discovers his need for a community, so it sounds like community. But dog Park, I’ll watch.

Dog Park is a heartwarming tale of love, loyalty, and playful canine antics celebrating kindness for the joy of it. I’m already wondering are Roland and Sam gonna get together? I bet they do. Tim Robinson getting another show for eachbo. It is a comedy called The Cheer Company.

In The Cheer Company, we follow William Roland Trosper, a man who’s embarrassing workplace accident results in him unraveling a massive conspiracy. This will start airing Sunday, October twelfth at ten pm. New episodes every Sunday until November thirtieth, out on Netflix. Jordan Jensen’s new special Take Me with You. Honestly, this one caught me a little bit by surprise.

I even looked at the Netflix New Releases, didn’t see it on there.

---

And then I am prepping the show and I see the La Times telling me this thing …

And they caught up with Jordan Jensen, who teld the Times, I can’t see the numbers of the tanks, I won’t know. I like that. She talked about touring as a young comedian and explain, do you do an open mic and someone says you could be on a show, and suddenly you think you’re hot stuff, And every step of the way you think you’re doing really well. So you’re driving around being like I’m on tour and making weird tour posters and you’re not even looking for people who are on a different level. You’re just trying to do the most you could do at your level.

So for me, it was the same as it is now. I’m on tour every weekend, and I’ll come home and hit the open mics and get my material and go off again. Even though I was losing money on the road, I felt like it was a touring comic. Good question here from the LA Times. As a New York comic, what’s your perception of the LA comedy scene right now?

I’m very curious of this answer. Jordan Jensen says, the LA scene has less of a fire under its butt, but it is the same amount of good comics, or roughly the same amount because of the population difference. But the difference between doing comedy in LA and doing comedy in New York is if you don’t write a new joke in New York every week everybody knows, whereas in LA they can chill more, they have a dog, they have a hike, and there’s more to life than comedy. But New York you have ten people living with you and you have to take a train every day, and you’re so comedy focused because you’re trying to climb out of that life and into the comedy place of LA. So they’re just as good.

But New York comedy is way more prolific. But in LA they’re just as funny. Like Josh Johnson, I don’t think that guy’s coming out of LA because we’re trying to get to where the LA people are. They’re comfortable and have a nice house and they’re gonna be okay. But in New York, we’ve committed our lives to being miserable, so we keep producing.

She talked about getting a note from Netflix. Netflix was like, all that stuff that’s effed up about your family, put that way sooner in the special. And I ended up not doing that because the way I would do my regular set is to try and ease them into that, because when you’re sitting there as a watcher listening to all the stuff about my dad, you need to be loose. Netflix was like, just put it up top because it’s your story, and I decided I’m just going to go how I normally do it because I get that it’s my story. But I can imagine turning that stuff off so fast once you hear some of that stuff.

So it’s just like, no, So I’m trying to get you to understand me and then letting it rip the first half hours of my story. But it isn’t just about being raised by lesbian moms and having the dead dad. I just had a gamble and not do the whole closer first thing first and do a ramp up instead. It’s interesting. We’ve heard some pretty big name comedians specifically Burt Kreischer comes to mind, who have realized in the age of Netflix, they have to move their closer all the way to the front because people have TV add as I call it, and I can’t really focus for an hour.

So we’ll see if this works for Jordan Jensen. At some point, I’m going to watch comedy specials again. I still don’t get to Jim Jefferies, and looking at to Friday, we’ve got cable Guy in Santino, so I’ll have one of those nights where I watch stuff. But you know, we’ve got college football Saturday, Sunday Night Football, and EMS Monday Night football, Thursday Night football, and my Netflix cues is backing up here. Did you watch the The Lazarus Project.

You gotta watch The Lazarus Project anyway. That is your comedy news for today. See tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Are we really going to do this? Daily Beast? Their headlined the addition of MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliff’s protege is likely to disrupt the show’s SNL’s status quo and already recalls the Shane Gillis debacle.

So we’re calling Camp Patterson MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliff’s protege. Okay, noted, We’ll get to SNL in a bit. Want to talk more about the not so canceled disease. I’m sorry. Azaz out there on the apology tour promoting a new movie, has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding Bill Murray.

You may recall back in twenty twenty two, there was an alleged incident on the set of the Aziz and Surrey movie Being Mortal. A report publisher at the time claimed that Bill Murray straddled a woman on a prop bed and kissed her on the mouth through mass worn on set for COVID safety protocols. In an interview with The New York Times, Bill Murray had said he felt barbecued by the experience, despite saying he had tried to make peace with the affected parties, Murray said, I don’t go too many days or weeks without thinking what happened. I don’t know what prompted me to do it. It’s something I’d done to someone else before, and I thought it was funny, and every time it happened, it was funny.

I was wearing a mask. I gave her a kiss. She was wearing a mask, was I. I touched her and she wasn’t a stranger. Murray added that he ate lunch with the person on various days of the week as he’s and Sorry in promoting his movie, has chimed in saying Bill couldn’t believe it happened.

I think this movie meant a lot to him. You know what, people are starting to notice the Riodd Comedy Festival. I’m hearing some conversations about this and other podcasts, and some people are the media are noticing that some comedians are playing the Reodd Comedy Festival. The confirmed lineup includes write this down. This is a lot of big names.

You’ve heard of These people who are going to play the Reodd Comedy Festival. They include Andrew Santino, Andrew Schultz, The not so canceled as he’son Sorry, Bill Burr, Bobby Lee, Jessica Curson, Jim Jeffries, Jimmy Carr, Joe Coy, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson remember that name for a second, Russell Peters, Sebastian Maniscalco, Sam Sagora, Whitney Cummings, Zarna garg Now. Some critics of these comedians find it interesting that they’re playing Saudi Arabia, for example, say Jessica Kerson, who’s gay, or Pete Davidson, whose father was killed on nine to eleven. Tim Heidecker choked, Bill Cosby and Woody Allen will also make rare public appearances at the Rion Comedy Festival. The festival is September twenty sixth through October ninth.

Humorism dot x y z has an article called Here’s how comedians are rationalizing taking paycheck from Saudi Arabia. Jim Jeffrey spoke to Theovan about it. Jim said, now people have been going, how dare you go after there? After they killed a reporter that was the big one. There’s been a reporter who they killed.

You don’t think our government bleeping bump people. I think Jeffrey Epstein was effing bumped off, you know what I mean. Theovan said, I’m sure that every place we’ve damaged a lot of places. Jeffries, one reporter was killed by the government. Unfortunate, but not a hill that I’m gonna die on.

And I don’t know the end announce of their government. So they got in a live golf right, all the golfers go to Saudi Arabia for king’s ransom amount of money, and everyone’s like, how dare they have to how they treat their people and all this stuff, And then people are like, all right, then we’ve got Christiano Ronaldo, soccer player goes over and plays there, and it is being paid an extra hundred two hundred grand every time he kicks a goal as a bonus fifty grand for an assist. Tim Dillon, who’s gay, said, if my tax dollars in the country that I go to are being sent to another country to starve children, for anyone to then say you should fuse a gig in Saudi Arabia on moral ground is bleeping insane. It’s insane. Christa Stefano, talking to Stavros Halkias, said I didn’t want to do it either.

I was contemplating. I was like, maybe not, and then Jasmine was like, well, we’re getting married. We got in the house. Who knows, we’ll probably sell it again. I was like, I can’t do it, and then she was like, you’re gonna take that bleeping money.

Short ol now reporting on this their headline comics take the Saudi coin. Alma Julliy, who’s playing the festival, tweeted, I’m at the Riad Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia October first. Naturally a little nervous, as the Saudis remove any image with nudity in your possession before coming to the country. Word is Louis C.K.’s at the airport right now having his retin as removed. Tim Dillon again on his podcast, here’s the point, Okay, I’m doing this because they’re paying me a large sum of money.

Do I have issue with some of their politics towards women, towards the gaze, towards the freedom of speech. Well, of course I do. But I believe in my own financial well being and always have, by the way, and I think you better start believing in that. Plenty to talk about here, we’ll continue to talk about it gonna be a lot of aprighezzi this week. He’s hosting the Emmys on Sunday.

I’ve seen at least three major pieces about him. Let’s start with the one on the Telegraph. They write, nobody has a bad word to say about Nate. This is by design. The comedian has become one of the hottest properties in the stand up by studiously avoiding the divisive, rage inducing topics that most other contemporary comedians find themselves drawn toward, like moths to a trans joke, I see what you did their telegraph.

He avoids profanity as carefully as he avoids controversy, carefully expelling even the hint of vulgarity from his family friendly sets. When his first announceing host SNL, the news was greeting with more than a few raised eyebrows. In fact, it’s unlikely he would have even landed the gig if it hadn’t betten for the then ongoing actors strike. When he took the stage, he opened his monologue by saying, look, I’m as shocked as you are that I’m here. At that time, Burghets he was considered a mid tier stand up comedian so boy, he’s really popped.

Huh. He’s planning for the Emmys. He told Stephen Colbert back in June. I guess I’ll just do what I do. I’m very self deprecating.

I’ll try to bring it inward. I know it’s a tough thing when everybody’s up for all these awards, but I want everyone have a good time. I’ll try to make it lively and fun, and I’ll make fun of me. There were some Creative Emmys over the weekend. Congratulations to Brian Kranston, who one Outstanding Guest Star Actor in a Comedy Series for his work in the studio.

Let’s talk a little SNL. There was a kerfluffle his Colin jos leaving is he’s staying? On Friday night, Colin Jost was on the stage, did some Q and a someone asked if he was returning. Joe said, I don’t know. Probably That started some speculation over the weekend.

Then wife Scarlett Johansen said nope, he’s coming back to work.

And now Deadline is reporting that the cast exodus is over.

Deadline reporting the cast will be eighteen people, which is a lot. They are Michael Jay, mikey Day Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Feineman, Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing really well? End of sentence, James Austin Johnson, Colin jost Egnwodem, Sarah Sherman, Keenan Thompson, who knows a good gig when you have one? And Bowen Yang. Feutured players Ashley Padilla, Jane Wickline and Ben Marshall, Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Colhayne, Cam Patterson, who what are we calling him again?

Maga, comedian Tony Hinchcliffs Protege, Camp Patterson and Veronica Slowakowska The rounds out your cast in case you’re worried about the police don’t destroys. The police don’t destroys said Nope, We are still together. A fan video clip making the rounds on social media show the police don’t destroy as making fun over the cast shake up at SNL. Ben Marshall asked anything going on this week? John Higgins said anything in the news.

Higgins said it’s PDD Forever. Baby Deadline believes the Troop will remain together, but focus its efforts on developing other projects and will no longer make videos for Saturday Night Live. Took a shot at Mark Maren because Mark Maren’s been taking a shot at Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience. Joe asked him, Heidecker, have you ever known people that have outdoor kats and they’re very irrational, Mark Maron? That’s not me adding the Marin tag there, That was Joe.

Those people probably have toxo, which is why they’re behaving weird. Did you watch football all weekend like I did? Boy, my picks. I couldn’t have done worse. The only thing actually, I could have done worse.

Friend of the show, Scott invited me to the football pool. I’m in fifty sixth place out of fifty nine. You want to know who’s in fifty ninth, Yeah, Scott. So I was gonna say I couldn’t have done worse, but apparently I could have done slightly worse. At least I’m ahead of him.

Boy, if he finished like third and I was in fifty six, that would have been embarrassing. The only thing I got right was hating on the Jets. Kevin Hart went to see at Tennessee Football. He was shown on the scoreboard as the volunteers warned a pregame. Why you’re wondering, Well, hendricks Heart is a senior in high school.

He’s a short sprinter. His event is the two hundred meter dash, and he’s being recruited by Tennessee. One more football story then we’ll take the break. The first story after the break is horrible, horrible, horrible. If you were listening with children of this podcast for some reason, please hit stop on the podcast.

Okay, because you don’t want to go there, Hit stop anyway. One more fun story. Did you watch the Chargers and the Chiefs. You know Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis there, He got slapped in the face by one of the defenders on the Chargers seeing the Chiefs scored a touchdown. Part of that play was Travis making a block on a Chargers tier tart.

The Chargers tackle seemed to take exception with how hard Travis was pushing him. He stared at Kelsey before striking him across the helmet with an open palm. The Swifties were not happy with this. One of them said you should have got a checked and suspended. Another said, you’ve officially made children who previously looked up to you hate you.

How pathetic that you can’t control your anger. How did mister chart respond to this? He went on social media and posted a Dave skit in which Chappelle is dressed as Rick James and slaps Charlie Murphy. In the sketch, Chappelle’s Rick James asked Charlie Murphy what did the five fingers say to the face, and then he smacks him. Okay again, warning hit stop if you’re with kids.

This is terrible. Many news reports saying comedian John Reap was arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. Reap apparently was indicted on ten counts of sexual exploitation. The Hickory, North Carolina Police Department had opened an investigation into Reap in April. After reviewing the hbd’s case, a grand jury indicted Reap on Tuesday.

Howard Stern returned to the satellite airwaves on Monday and Boy Howard nineteen eighty five Howard Would Hate You. The show started with Andy Cohen behind the microphone and said the channel going forward would be known as Andy one under. Andy Cohen said, I know we’re expecting a big announcement from Howard and this is not how things are meant to go supposed to be a cleaner hand off. I’m kind of winging it. He said.

It was a surreal morning here and I can’t possibly fill his void, and he was confident Howard Stern would land on another platform soon. Well, what do you know, that was a prank? Howard Stern showed up and thanked Andy Cohen for agreeing to do the stunt. Howard, that’s so lame, like unbelievably lame, Hugh Well. Howard then addressed all the rumors and said he’d been thinking of retiring, but said he couldn’t walk away now given reports that the show was canceled.

One of the positive things about the fake news, according to Stern, is that he heard from other companies were interested in picking up the show. Stern said, I’m very happy it’s serious. Here’s the truth. Serious XM and my team have been talking about how we go forward in the future. They’ve approached me, They’ve sat down with me like they normally do, and they’re fantastic.

Johnny Mack continues to tell you this is going to get dragged out until the Thursday before Christmas vacation, at which point they will announce Howard Stern is coming back for a two year Victory Lap farewell tour. Write It Down. Greg daniel talked about the Paper with the La Times. I haven’t seen it yet.

---

Now here’s the issue.

My wife has decided that’s a show. We’re going to work together. You know what that means. That means for like months and months, I’m like, HETI wanted to watch the paper and she’s not gonna be free, And on the nights where she is free, I’m gonna be watching football. Many months from now, we’ll watch the Paper and she’s gonna watch it for about seven minutes and be like, yeah, I like this.

You can watch by yourself. Why I can’t just watch by myself tonight? I don’t know? Are you married? I am?

Anyway. Greg Daniels said, I’ve always felt like the show was cut to be the introduction to the show itself, and then he explains that the jokes are being set up for later seasons. He said, at first, I thought the payceout model would be good for that, because that’s how The Office was on NBC. But NBC pointed out to me that the majority of Office fans watched on streaming where they could binge the whole thing, and that’s why they’re binging it. Okay, I haven’t seen it yet.

Greg Daniels, Why Toledo. Greg said that was really about the alliteration of the Toledo truth Tailler. There’s something about the Cleveland Plain Dealer that I think is a super interesting title. The name of it. I always thought it’s been very intriguing.

It kind of reminds you of the independence of these big Midwestern newspapers, which is different from now. Toledo also has a certain officey Scranton thing to it. There was a time when we were looking at where the other locations Donder Mifflin as offices, and the list is very funny. It’s like Yunkers and Nashua, New Hampshire. It’s all these words that are just kind of fun to roll off your tongue.

And the Washington Post profile the Russian comedy scene, one unnamed comedian said, now you can choke about the family, the subway, and I don’t know what else, but no hint of politics. People are more tense when they hear jokes about politics because there’s a feeling while I get in trouble if I react to it. Huh. I wonder what that’s like that would never happen in the United States. Another comedian said, I wouldn’t want to go to jail for a joke.

At the same point, you start thinking, why the hell should I go to jail for a joke? Then you start to wonder what’s going on in general? Why can’t I go out and say what I personally don’t like, which I think is strange, stupid, and so on. Now you should think twenty times about how your joke would be perceived and where this joke is worth the effort. Again, I’m speaking of Russia here and not another country in which you might live.

So far, that’s your Daily Comedy News, with some commentary there at the end. And before we go, A happy birthday to the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler. Born on this day in nineteen sixty six. Adam Sandler fifty nine years old. You have a good birthday, buddy, See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. If you missed Sunday’s episode, it was pretty robust and lengthy for a weekend episode, a lot of news in there. Go back and listen. I’m excited about today because I like strife.

I like when everybody’s fighting with everybody, and we’ve got a bunch of stories today. Let’s start with Dana Corvey, who’s pretty sure it wasn’t Heidi Gardner’s decision to leave Saturday Night Live. Oh that’s a headline. Dana was on his Fly on the Wall podcast with David Spade and said, from what I know as of this recording, it was not her idea to leave. He gave himself a wiggle room and said he could be wrong.

Spade said that would be a little shocking because she’s really one of the core ones you know from that show and she does a great job. Carvey, you never know, and it’s a hard thing. But I was really really surprised. Carvey then recalled speaking to Devin Walker about his three years Quoting Carvey, Devin had told me that when you don’t get on the show a lot, then when you get out there and you have a moment, you’re not relaxed because it’s like, if you don’t score here, you go back in line. So it can be emotionally violent depending on where you are in the show, or it could be a magic ride.

Carvey said what got his attention the most was the breaking up of the you Please don’t destroy guys, especially given the John Higgins, whose son of longtime SNL producer Steve Higgins. That John Higgins is leaving the show altogether. Carvey said, So that really surprised me, and on a human level, I was surprised that they kept some of them. Spade said, so the one guy has to say I’m gonna take this, I’m gonna be a cast member. It’s effing awkward for sure.

Devin Walker has clarified some of his comments. Remember he said it was a toxic atmosphere. He has spoken some more and said, I understand it’s show business and it’s cutthroat, but people of lives and people deserve to know the status of their job at a reasonable juncture. There’s a measure of humanity that the show could benefit from. What ends up had happening over the summer is Oftentimes people left hanging with big life decisions, people trying to start families or buy homes, and there’s no word from the show about whether they have the job.

The show won’t tell them all summer, and then we’ll ultimately end up firing them when there’s been months of them trying to work their situation out. He then clarified that was a nice situation, but I’ve known of situations to where that’s happened. If there’s one thing I hope for the future of the show, it’s that a sprinkle of humanity could be added into it. Most people are told they’re coming back to work in a week. He says his decision was a mutual decision and recognizes that devoting yourself to the time commitment of the show’s just part of it.

You’re expected to get in line. But again, on the measure of transparracy and clarity around people’s employment, we’re human beings. We’ve got to put food on the table. Some of us support other people in our lives. We’re not making millions of dollars on the show.

It’s not like we’re good And definitely, once we leave, did you sell your SNL stock? Did you hear comedy stock Market on Friday, sell your SNL stock all right? D not so canceled asase I’m Sorry has spoken out. You may recall back in twenty eighteen, an anonymous accuser recounted a date with a Z’s and Sorry that left her feeling violated. After an initial statement detailing his surprise and concern at the allegations, Aziz addressed the incident in twenty nineteen while touring the country with stand up material eventually filmed for a Netflix special.

Then there was more backlash as az’sin Sorry was criticized for acknowledging the claims without offering a public apology. He has addressed it again. Why now, Because he’s promoting a movie. That’s why. Let’s all be honest.

He’s bringing this up to get you to talk about his new film. He has told The Hollywood Reporter there was an apology, but it wasn’t for public consumption. The poll quote, I mean, I apologize to the person personally right when it happened. Aziz denied pulling back from the spotlight after the accusation. He said it wasn’t really a break per se.

I did that tour and I wanted to address it in the special because people were curious about how I felt about the whole experience, so I felt like I had to talk about it in the special. As he said, I took her words to heart and respond privately after taking time to process what she had said. I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue. There’s times I felt scared, There’s times I felt humiliated, There’s times I felt embarrassed, and ultimately I just felt terrible that this person felt this way.

And after a year or so, I just hope it was a step forward. It moved things forward from me and made me think about that a lot. I hope I’ve become a better person. I always think about a conversation I had with one of my friends where I was like, you know what, man, that whole thing made me think about every date I’ve ever been on, and I thought, wow, well that’s pretty incredible. It made not just me, but other people more thoughtful, and that’s a good thing.

Now, if you’re not hip to all this, by the way, if kids are listening, stop listening, stop the podcast. Okay, everybody else, just adult to now. Babe, dot net and it’s still up on the internet. I’m looking at it right now. This is a piece by Katie Way in twenty eighteen.

The headline I went on a date with AZ’s I’m sorry it turned into the worst night of my life.

And then if you want to read this piece, it gets into the details of their da…

But check out the piece from Babe dot net and then reconcile that with some of the poll quotes I just read from Disease. I’m Sorry. Good Fortune arrives in theaters October seventeenth. Caleb Hearon is getting an HBO special. Interesting to me.

It’ll debut on Friday, September nineteenth at nine easterns so it’s not one of those Saturday ten PM deals. For some reason, Caleb Hearon gets Friday September nineteenth at nine o’clock. He did put out a trailer, It’s too naughty for this show. Filmed in Chicago. Caleb Hearn, model comedian, showcases here on his ability to unpack life’s most absurd contradictions with his signature charm and razor sharp wit.

That’s a generic description of almost every comedy special. Guys, can you work a little harder at that sentence? Anyway? The trailer is funny. I liked it.

It’s just a little too naughty and let’s see I’ve got a long gut field of let’s do that tomorrow. Let me tell you about the worst in the world, Jay Leno. This guy Michael Boublay told a story about Jay Leno. He said, I used to open up for Jay when I was a kid, before I ever got signed, because he’s like the hardest working man, And I would say to him, can you give me some advice? Now, what do you think?

Jay Leno said? Jay Leno said, Yeah, take the time to travel, go to people’s backyards and play for them. You’ll belong to them. You’ll be tangible to them. They’ll see that when you tell them you appreciate them, you really do, because you took the time to show up.

Boy, that Jay Leno, he’s just the worst. David Byrne, you know, the guy that was the singer in Talking Heads. He was out promoting his new album and went up telling Jimmy Fallon that he tried stand up comedy. Fred Armison had come by to see David Broadway show American Utopia and saw that David Byrne could get a laugh and encourage David Byrne to try stand up. Burne said, really, it’s the scariest thing in the world.

I don’t have to tell you, Jimmy Fallon, but I have to tell these people. You don’t have a band. It’s just you. And if it goes badly, it goes badly. You can’t turn around and say, hey, my bass player.

Fed up, David Byrne said. Fred Armison asked him to make an unannounced appearance in LA and said, sure, Can I do it as a slide show? Fred said, yeah, sure, we’ll set that up. Brince said, all I had to do was show the picture and kind of say what it was. I have no idea if it went well or not.

And are you in the market for a lake house? You might want to buy Daniel Tosh’s Lake Tahoe waterfront compound. It’s for sale. It’ll run you eleven point nine million dollars, but maybe you can negotiate that down a little. Who knows it has ninety three feet of Lake Tahoe shoreline, a boke shed turned cabin.

It’s surrounded by pine trees. The description tells us when you drive through the gate and into the estate, instantly feel like you stepped away from all the chaos, but you’re so close to everything. Restaurants, hiking, trails, cycling. There are multiple homes. The property’s newer ford bedroom upper home, fancy that takes in lake views and they’re nice pictures I saw the listing.

Steam showers are part of every bathroom, and there’s also a dry sauna downstairs. A large family room, pooled table, large TV, sona surrounds it, shuffle board, a bar, and of course an industrial ice cream maker. Did I tell you I met Daniel Toosh once? Back? It’s serious A million years ago, you know how, Like a lot of times, Ibody be like, Oh, Larry the cable guy, that guy’s awesome, Keeg and Michael Key, that dude’s awesome.

Have you ever heard me tell you a story about Daniel Tosh along those lines? I haven’t right. You figure the rest out. Not a warm and fuzzy man, the realtor says, when not cozying up inside the residence. The family’s on the lake, wakesurfing using the banana tube.

We’re taking the boat to Tahoe City and other restaurants on the lake. Yeah. I mean, if you’re gonna buy a twelve million dollar lakehouse, you probably should get a boat. And that is your comedy news today. Maybe tomorrow I’ll tell you a story about Daniel Tosh being warm and fuzzy.

But you know, I might forget. You know, sometimes I forget to put a story in. See tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. NFL Sunday Going Niners looking forward to the Jets getting destroyed as expected. People are just wigged that Cam Patterson, the guy from kill Tony and among other things, but best known for Kill Tony, is joining Saturday Night Live. Syracuse dot Com went digging and they found new SNL cast member has strong feelings about Upstate New York and the poll quote that place is terrible.

Upstate New York is actually very, very beautiful. Anyway, back in January, Cam Patterson was on Kill Tony. The Syracuse folks pulled a clip in the cliff Patterson says, I’m gonna look into the camera when I say this f Rochester, New York. Tony Hinchcliff, who’s from Youngstown, Ohio, said, I fully endorse cam statements about anywhere in Upstate New York. It’s incredible for anyone to stay there after being born, and he’s there.

Patterson chimed in and said, yeah, that place is terrible. Tony Hinchcliff said, people in Upstate New York settled down with the first person they said, like you, they get pregnant and then become stuck there forever in eternal hell, while literally the rest of America laughs at you. Patterson cut in again and said, f Rochester a garbage place. F all two hundred something thousand now. During a stand up show last December, apparently Patterson made some comments about the food in Rochester.

He showed a photo of the garbage plate. We’ve talked about that in the past. The garbage plate typically includes a base of home fries or macaroni salad, top with meat like hamburgers or hot dogs, and finished with a spicy meat and fused hot sauce, mustard, and onions. Patterson called the meal pig slop. I’m saying, if you want to come over today and watch football, I have rid zone.

If you bring home fries, top with meat type with spicy sauce, mustard and onions, I’ll bring the beer. While I’m already home. I already have the beer. You bring a garbage plate. There is a lot of strife going on over at SNL.

I’ve got you stories I’m saving from Monday. Why John, Because Monday shows are slightly more listened to than Sunday shows. So I’ll make those the lead on tomorrows. Over in the UK, they’re getting their own version of Saturday Night Live, and they’re going to be able to say some swear words. The Sky Television network explains that in the UK, swearing after nine pm is allowed.

My recommendation, don’t swear. I mean the occasional swear word for effect works. But you know, don’t turn this into Saturday afing Night Live. You know who doesn’t swears that. Nate forgets it and he’s doing Okay, did you buy stock in Nate?

Because he’s hosting the Emmy. He’s a week from today. I hope you bought up. He also announced a tour. See we’re already making money on our bet.

The Big Dumb Eyes Tour in twenty twenty six, sixty two Arena stops stretching through next August. The tour begins January fifteenth in Eugene, Oregon, where most tours begin. I’m not going to read you sixty five dates. He’s probably close enough to you. Like for me, I could wait until set Saturday August eighth and go to Newark and see him there.

That’s the third last show. Who wraps up August fifteenth in Toronto little Howard Stern news at the end of last week. The boss is there over at Sirius XM must see the scuttle butt and probably just knowing how people think over there, they probably were a little nervous about the stock and need it to protect it. The CEO over there, nice woman named Jennifer, said it certainly has to make sense, meaning a Stern deal, But we feel pretty good that we’ve done this before and we’ll see where it goes. I think he’s been quarter o a platform for over twenty years.

Some confident we’ll get to the right place. A different boss over there was asked how serious XM determines whether or not they should do with deal. He said they look at hours, listen to add revenue, social media and publicity. As I have been saying, Howard will renew. I think they’ll drag this out and capitalize on all the free publicity they’re getting.

This boss even said publicity is basically in kind free marketing. So they’ll drag out the story and in December it’ll be like, what do you know, Howard’s staying? What a shock? Good piece and slate under the headline. Mark Marin thinks he’s Comedy’s Jay Robert Oppenheimer, is he right?

Luke Winkie writes, you can find the formula Maren established all those years ago pretty much everywhere in the industry. The Joe Rogan Experience, which debuted mere months after w TF, shares the exact same DNA long form, meandering, sometimes surprisingly personal chats with miscellaneous stand ups and gadflies. This also goes for this past weekend with theo Vaughn ponent O’Brien. You can even hear its influence on the Ezra Klein Show, Luke continues. For a few years there, the world of comedy was remade in Maren’s image.

Comedians spield their guts both in his studio and on stage, and comedy clubs increasingly began to resemble group therapy clinics. As the WTF brand grew, Maren moved away from the Rinky Dinks stand up anks that originally attracted me to the show. He remained a sharp interviewer, but the star power of the guests slowly grew brighter and more distant from his own world. Over time, WTF lost its status as this sacred place for embittered stand ups to try to deduce the meeting of their careers. I think this piece is on point.

Instead, it just became an other big ticket interview podcast, competing with a wide array of imitators. Luke writes, tuning into the podcast every week didn’t feel quite as crucial as it once did. I belonged to a demographic of people that is capable of caring massively about the life and times of alt comedy lifer Brian Posain. The show, in its original conception was exclusively concerned with those nerdy fixations. But how can you find time for him between Jeremy Allen White, Alexander Scoresgarden and Risque Hargatea, all of who appeared on WTF this summer.

And I’ll add personally, I didn’t download those episodes. I’m with the writer here. I’ve got a bunch of Marens in my phone. Let me call it Maren. I’ll tell you how I’m doing this.

So not downloaded Spike Lee, Regina King, Ben Stiller, downloaded Tim Heidecker, Bow and Yang. I’ve listened to those already, Sarah Sherman, I listened to quest Leven Aquafina, didn’t listen to I’m with Luke I would be much more excited if the next guest was Brian Posain talking about comedy for an hour. So the conclusion to this thing piece is and I agree, maybe Maren has timed his exit from WTF perfectly. I did put years on that Kyle Mooney Beck Bennett podcast and the guest was Mark Maren. As a professional podcasting expert, despite me broadcasting in the basement, I do have some thoughts for the guys.

Beck and Kyle. You gotta pen write this down. Your audio is terrible now as a podcasting expert, I’m going to guess the reason your audio is terrible is because you’re really making a YouTube video and putting it out as a podcast. The audio is so bad that, despite me being on a very much Marin kick right now, I couldn’t even stick around for Maren. I just like, this is unlistenable.

It sounds like it’s underwater. They got to get their act together over there. Let’s see how it’s doing on the charts. It’s actually Thursday as I record this. I’m pretty honest, I record the weekends in advance.

What is this thing called again? What’s our podcast? The name of this thing is even terrible is that what it’s called? Yeah, what’s our podcast with Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. The name’s Terrible.

It’s up to number one sixteen overall, up eleven spots and now number fourteen in the comedy subcategory. So it’s possible. Johnny Mack has no idea what he’s talking about, but personally I couldn’t listen at all. Who are their dream guests? They were asked.

Beck Bennett said, not necessarily my dream guest, but I think it would be really fun to have Lorne Michaels on. You think, especially right now, you think here, here’s my dream guest list, Taylor Swift, Lauren Michaels. I guess this week I would take President Trump and RFK Junior. Beck Bennett was asked, do you think would go along with it? I don’t know.

I think it’s below his standards. Kyle Money thinks Paul McCartney would be interesting. You think one of the biggest stars of all time, like not even musicians, just stars period. Do you think a guy who is in the Beatles would be interesting? Good guess?

Ambitions for the podcast be Bennett, I’d like to get it to a point where Rible’s tour and do some live shows, whether that’s a guest or doing mini versions where we take suggestions from the audience to try to do a couple. It would be fun to use this as a platform to perform live and get in front of an audience. So I don’t do stand up, but he miss getting in of an audience. This, my friends, is a cash grab podcast if I’ve ever seen one, And they’re doing okay so far. Kyle Mooney said, I love the idea of doing live shows and letting audience members potentially pitch podcast ideas for us, that would be a terrible live show.

Tell you, guys, it’s fun for us that it’s ever changing and we don’t know what the rules are yet. We’re sort of making them up as we go along. Good luck. Paul Rodriguez has been charged in connection with his arrest last month at a Burbank restaurant. This from the Burbank City Attorney’s Office.

Rodriguez faces misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of a controlled substance. Paul’s been in the news quite a few times this year, none of them good Fred Armison talked to the Observer about playing Uncle Fester in Wednesday. He was asked if it’s intimidating to take on such a well established character. Fred said, it’s nothing but awesome. I enjoy looking at pictures of the nineties film or sixties TV show going that’s us, We’re the Festers.

It’s like putting on a uniform. You have to honor previous iterations while also making the character your own. Who does he past his version on Jackie Coogan in the original Adams Family series. The things he did with his face, sort of smiling even though there was no reason a smile. It reminded me of Danny DeVito and one flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

He’s in this mental institution, but he’s smiling the whole time. I thought that was kind of cool. All right, how do you look like Uncle Fester? Armison said, I shaved my head for a start. It’s a better way to go than bald caps.

I shave my face thoroughly too than put prosthetic covers over my eyebrows. Looking totally hairless makes my forehead kind of hulking. They paint Dirk circles under my eyes and give me a gray corpse like pallor what I always forget is my hands. They shaved them too, then put dirt under my fingernails as a little finishing to tail. Wow, that’s fun.

Seth Myers was happy he finally got on Trump’s radar. Kamil Nanjianni was the guest non Johnny read some of Trump’s rants out loud and said, what I love is that he called Colbert untalented, he called Kimmel even less talented than Colbert, and he called Fellon insecure. And for you, Seth Myers, he can buy it all three Bill Angvall, so all the stars Rebut and to think about golf is he’s playing with his wife, and it’s fun when you both suck, but when one of you starts getting better than the other, it’s not so much fun. So I’m trying to catch up with missus Angvall. Now that I’m going back on the road, I’ll have to cut back a little on golfing.

And did you watch the paper? I haven’t gotten to it yet. We’re in the middle of five days of football if you’re also into college football, so I don’t know when I’ll get to the paper. Maybe I’ll pick in an episode here and there. I am curious about it, but I have low expectations.

Now the reviews are interesting. Now stay with me here. Pay a little attention from the Seattle Times, which is a newspaper. Their headline Office spinoff and insult to comedy and journalism. You’re paying attention here, right, yes, okay, they wrote The Paper is the sort of show where the moments it pauses for when you’re meant to laugh just become agonizing pieces where you awkwardly wait for the next bit.

In the ten episodes of the first season, there are few memorable lines to speak of, and even fewer actual scenarios that even elicit a chuckle yikes. Where The Office was largely sharply written and earned its more absurd moments, the Paper never has some of that spark. All the force modern jokes about everything from catfishing to clickbait fall completely flat, and there’s no Jim Helper to cut away to the New York Times, which is also a newspaper. Right, They said, I have good news and I have bad news. The team from the Office has a new comedy of decline, but it still needs to figure out what the story is.

They say it starts funny and competent, but the template is a problem. The show feels too much like a Madlib’s version of the characters and dynamics from the Office and similar shows without a firm identity of its own. Rolling Stone, which is not a newspaper, that’s a magazine, but they say the paper is a methodonneed version of The Office. Alan Seppenwall says, the new boss on this show Ned and Ned’s worst moments are probably a bit closer to Andy Bernard in the post Michael Office seasons, when Andy himself became a watered down Michael. That’s not good at all.

I hated when Andy was in charge because it was like they had old scripts that just crossed off where it said Michael and scribbled in Andy. And that was when Andy was good. Then when they started writing Andy Andy scripts, it got even worse. Sepenwall says, what’s odd is the morning before the show came out, Peacock ordered a second season, the kind of deal that was surely worked out long in advance, and announced the day before the mirror. To goose the hype cycle, he proposes that shows Daniels and the other creators knew they had a long runway.

That said, Peacock has struggled mightily to launch successful comedies, even from the producers of Office Serah sitcoms. Some examples of fel the Peacock sitcoms include Girls Five Eva and Brother Ford Falls. Daniel Feinberg, who used to do a podcast with the aforementioned Alan Sepenwall. I think he got to the crux of the reviews. He said by treating the paper business as antiquated and doomed, the office probably offended some people in that industry.

Then I’m going to conjecture that’s what’s happening here with people in newspapers. They don’t like a show about newspapers dying, and they probably have the same kind of problems I would have if I watched a show about podcasts or where I’d be like, that’s not how it works in real life. Anyway, that’s your company news on a Sunday, Go niners, see you to morrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Joe Cooy he’s working on his sixth Netflix special and he’s going to get a vinyl version of it from Netflix. That’ll probably be one of those where they make like twelve copies, sell them in the cool record store in Portland and then pretend it’s an album and submitted for a Grammy. Joe Coy sa, Eddie loves vinyl, his son loves vinyl, and Joe Cooy collected Eddie Murphy albums when he was a kid.

Now, come on, you didn’t collect Eddie Murphy albums? There were what two? That’s not a Collection’s I bought to Eddie Murphy albums? Anyway, Joe Coy said, this one could be a lot of fun. I’m a lot older and my son’s a lot older.

Now he’s on the road with me now, so there’s that to talk about it. It’s a new chapter. If you watch all my specials, it’s literally like watching the story of my son and myself growing up. I’ll go way back and it’s like a flash before my eyes, these little flashback moments where it takes me back to raising my son and I get well, well, little sentimental. I wonder if he’s sentimental about that time he hosted the Golden Globes.

I don’t know if you remember this. He told this horrible, just awful, like j LENO mean level of joke about Taylor Swift, who then justifiably gave him the stare. You think Taylor Swift is going to just smile at an innocent joke. No, She’s gonna try and crush your career. Here.

Let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Sebastian Man of Skalgo likes comparing stand up to music. He says, I feel like there’s a music element to stand up in the sense that it has a rhythm, pacing in cadence, whether you go higher with your voice or go lower to bring the audience in. That’s very smart dispassion with my act.

There’s also a physicality that’s infused into the material. I’m not just standing there behying a microphone telling jokes. That movement I compare to dance. It’s almost like you’re dancing to your words. Sebastian wants you to leave his show talking about what you saw, not just the performance, but the production value of it.

He explains, you’re charging a high ten price. You don’t want to have somebody walk in and see performing on the stage at the arena gave you. I designed the stage for the ID Ain’t Right Tour as a triangle because when I was out and the round, I felt like I was walking in circles. With the triangle, I have three points to go to.

Also very smart, I like to get involved with the nuts and bolts of the produc…

The lighting, The steps to the stage light up when I stepped on them. I came out on a vespa. I did a pre show video that correlated to the vespa. I was in a vespa on the screen and the next thing you know, I come on stage on a vespa. They’re gonna leave hopefully talking about how much they laughed and not about how beautiful the lighting rig was.

But it enhances the experience. Kathy Griffin has apologized for teasing Anna Nicole Smith. In a YouTube video, Kathy Griffin recounted her relationship with Smith back in the day. Griffin rarely joked about Smith and impersonated Smith by slurring her words. Kathy did this in various tours and including some televised Bravo specials.

Kathy Smith one of the greatest beauties of any generation, but noted she was also very troubled as her career went on. She was very addicted to drugs. She overdosed, That’s how she passed away. It’s no secret I knew her from putting her in my act. I really loved her.

So let me just talk about her because I was quite vicious to her in my act because she was always efed up. Griffin said, she is a real genuine affection for Anna and didn’t know one minute to the next if she was gonna hate me or not based on what I was saying in my act. Let me to say again apologies for everything I ever said in the nineties and two thousands. But once again, unless you live through the nineties and two thousands, you don’t know what a vicious time it was. Comedically vicious it was, I guess it was.

So I was vicious to Anna, and I also witnessed a lot of tough times with her because when she was messed up, she could be nasty, she could be rough. I know in her heart she was so abused by the business. Well, while we’re talking about people that were just horribly mean and vicious in the nineties and two thousands, we’ve got to talk about arguably the worst person who ever lived, Jay Leno. The nerve of this guy. He went on the Big Three podcast and started talking about electric vehicles.

The nerve of this guy. He said, it’s a bit like music. For years, rap wasn’t recognized the same way rock and roll wasn’t recognized. I know rock and roll guys that hate rap, and I know rap guys that hate rock and roll. But I think I feel like music.

It’s the same thing with automobiles. I get it. I like all types of cars. This guy in these opinions liking all types of cars. J Letto is the worst, he says.

People get mad at me. They say, you’ve got another ev on your show. I’m not watching j Leto’s garage anymore. Jay says, well, okay, don’t watch, but next week we’ll have a gas car. We’ll have something you might like.

You can’t do the same thing every week. The nerve of this guy. Unbelievable. This guy, Jay says to me, I think the EV with the savior of classic cars because classic cars do use more gas than they pollute, but as their percentage gets smaller and smaller, if everyone is driving an EV, it’s not so much pressure to get gas cars off the road. I consider it a good thing.

This guy’s unbelievable.

---

Let’s talk about somebody nice and not like crazy.

J Leno weird now talk to the La Times and he said, I think that the craftsmanship is one of the reasons that the humor works so well. And I think the best parody is material that emulates the original source as closely as possible. It helps the joke if you’re sucked into thinking you’re listening to a particular pop song and then think, wait a minute, these aren’t the lyrics I’m used to. I’ve got one of the best bands of the world, and they do every genre flawlessly, and that’s what helps make the whole actwork. The core band has been together for over forty years, and we’re kind of telepathic and the way we communicate now, so we’re a lot better than we were back in the day.

Bill Engvall, back on the Road, admitted to being a little rusty, and a friend said, well, it’s like riding a bike. Bill says, yeah, but you got to remember, if it’s the front break of the back break, you picked the wrong one. You’re going over the handlebars. Bill talked about the success of the Blue Collar Tour and explains it was one of those perfect storm things. We appealed to this faction of people all over the country, good old Americans, from plumbers to doctors to authors.

We were clean, which was a big deal for a lot of people. Late Bergetzi’s sure to learn that. Lesson Jeff Ross, why did you take your show to Broadway? Jeff said, And this is smart. If you don’t surprise your audience at this stage of the game, I think you kind of fade away.

I’ve seen this happen to funny people. They go, this works. Let me keep doing this because it pays the bills. I always kept my overhead down. Part of that is not having a kid’s and wife.

I lived the life of a bachelor. Then I can do what I want creatively. It gives me some freedom. I’m not responsible for anyone but myself and my dogs. I go, let me take a creative swing here instead of going on the road and touring like a regular stand up act.

I can invest in something that’s more creative filling at this point, especially after a near death experience. Jeff talked about changing his surname from lift Schultz to Ross. Why, Jeff Ross explains, was early in my career, as coming out of the open mic scene, I got booked on Star search Ed McMahon was hosting. He kept introducing me saying, this week’s challenger Jeff Lipschitz, and then the next episode was Jeff Lipshot. He couldn’t get it right.

I was flying home. I thought maybe my name is too complicated. I didn’t have confidence, and when they screwed it up and screwed up my performance, I spent the first twenty five years of my life correcting people, every teacher, of her employer, every date. How do you spell it? How do you say it?

So I went with my middle name Ross, named after my great grandma Rose. Jeff was asked if he felt like he was losing his family identity. This is very interesting. His answer, no, it was a little weird. But my grandfather was a band leader and he went from Lift Schultz to Larsen many decades before.

He was gone already, so I didn’t get to talk to him about it. But I’d gone to film school, I studied advertising design. I was like, I don’t think lift Scheltz is going to work as a calling card as a marquee. Nowadays people in more open to that kind of stuff, but at the time, I’ve been teased about my name as a kid so much that I was like, why am I giving people this? Let me make it simple.

Vered Oz is gearing up for a residency at New York City’s Lincoln Center. Wow. His new show, Hey Stranger, will be part of their comedy series. Veeer says, It’s never happened before for someone where I came from, and it’s quite a prestigious room. So I’m worried about writing the show, he told Variety.

Really, all I’m thinking about is the jokes. I remember day one of the trial shows. They were like, yeah, it’s funny, and usually that’s all comedian needs to hear is yeah it’s funny. But is it West End? Is it Broadway?

And there’s a journey from funny to there, and I’m trying to make that journey. Can I write a show that truly takes Indian comedy to anybody in the world, like really, really anyone in the world. People you’ve never met before and are never going to meet again, have nothing to lose and can tell you the truth in a way that people you know can’t anymore. And I’ve had this strange life that’s been deeply impacted by strangers. I’ve seen more of the world than anybody I’ve ever met.

So the show really is a stranger comes to down and wherever you were from in the world, you could come and see the Stranger. I think that’s the show. Hey, Stranger, Lincoln Center, October twenty ninth through the ninth, and that’s your comedy news on It’s the summer Saturday. The forecast was pretty good. Hopefully I’m at the beach right now as you’re listening to this.

Tomorrow football can’t wait rooting against the Jets, finding out if my forty nine ers or any good or not. I have no idea. You know that guy Scott that listens to the show. He messed up. He invited me to his football pool.

He thinks I’m some goofy guy recording a podcast in the basement. He has no idea what he’s in for as I take his money in the weekly football pool. Keep you updated on that. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, Happy Friday. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I’m trying to bring back the late night joke segment on Friday, but the jokes just haven’t been there. The only joke I really felt like sharing was from Fallon, who said President Trump, after not being seen in public for several days, appeared in the Oval Office, which means it’s six more weeks of dictatorship.

Your letters to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel will be coming to Brooklyn. He’ll record at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House September twenty nine through October third. One of the guests will be Stephen Colbert, who has just kicked off the final season of The Late Show. Oh that reminds me. Listen to last week’s Letterman podcast.

Not the one that came out today. I have no idea. Maybe today’s is awesome. Didn’t listen to it yet, but the one that came out last Friday, Mark Malkoff drop by. They start to talking Carson.

At some point Mitch Hedberg came up, really good. Listen to that one from Deadline the headline, there were signs that Please Don’t Destroy was coming to an end on SNL. Oh No Deadline says the trio radically reduced the amount of videos they produced for the show last year. Well, it was also the fiftieth anniversary, and there was a lot of big celebrities across twenty one episodes. In season forty nine, they had done ten.

In season forty eight, they had done eleven in their first year. They got seven on and also Ben Marshall will be one of the full time cast members of SNL fifty one. From GQ, the headline, J Kelly should finally met Adam Sandler the Oscar he deserves. I agree. I haven’t seen the movie, but just on principle, Adam Sandler doing a dramatic role and not a stupid comedy, Let’s give him the Oscar just for that.

GQ wrights, We’ve always known that Adam Sandler has the range. It’s the thrilling to see when the Sandman breaks his pattern, and with Jay Kelly he delivers one of his most subdued performances. It also happens to be one of his greatest. Adam Sandler plays Ron, the longtime manager to Jay Kelly, who’s played by George Clooney. The character j Kelly is a charismatic magnet, attracting attention everywhere he moves.

He’s lonely but never alone, surrounded by a team that circles him like subservient vultures. GQ tells us the beauty of Sandler’s performance is that you can see Ron’s joy and optimism drain from him. Initially, Ron is bubbly with optimism, calling Jay by the nickname Puppy, and never letting a stress show through a smile. Then some spoilers. I don’t want to ruin an Adam Sandler dramatic movie for you.

But then some spoilers and we see Adam show some range there, and they write, if Adam Sandler wins an Oscar in the Year of Happy Gilmore two, that will make the victory even sweeter. I’m rooting for you, Adam Sandler. Dramatic actor Weird Al explains to the La Times why he hasn’t released a parody song in more than a decade. He says, because there’s no longer a monoculture where it’s more obvious what the hits are. Al had recently done some smaller tours where he’s playing things that weren’t hits, as such things are in the Yanka verse.

I just made that term up. I like it right. Yeah, sounds a little dirty, but it’s not weird. Al said, the smaller tours cleanse it ballad for me, and we’re fun for my band and the hardcore fans. But now we’re back to playing the big tent, we’re ramping up the silliness.

The articleicle even gets into what weird Al calls inception, like there’s somebody named Steve Goodie who parodied the weird Al original hardware Store and did a parody of that. Now hardware Store is not a parody, it’s a weird Al original, but the parody by Steve Goodie is called Dumbledore. And Steve Goody even has a one man show called Al the Weird Tribute. If you go see Al, at one point every show they cover a classic song and do a straight version of it. Some examples include Paul Simons you can call me Al, all right, that’s a little on the nose, George Harrison’s What Is Life?

And even Helen Ready’s I Am Woman. Al says it’s a rotating slot almost every night is something different. The fans get into it, although when he talks to them about it, he sometimes finds their reactions baffling. People sometimes say, oh, you guys can really play, You can really do real music, and Al says, what do you think we’ve been doing just because the words are funny, It’s not real music. Newsweek asked Mark Marin if how he perhaps for a special has changed over the years, specifically because he’s more high profile than he wasn’t at another point and he gets more tension.

Does that affect the crafting and the material? Maren said, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the name of profile, because I never really registered that as a lot or being enough. It’s really more about me as a person. What if I learned what matters, what doesn’t matter? As I get older, what do I really give a hoot about?

And as a comic, what can I do? What risk can I take? And I think over time, me talking about myself probably kind of played spinning and more neurotic. But as I get deeper into myself, I think that last special from Bleak to Dark offered me an opportunity tragically to try and wrap my brain around grief and death and loss in a funny way. And I think working those muscles or figuring out how to do that and has it really opened up a whole other area for me to take comedic risks, which I think we see with the trauma bit in this one, and then revisiting grief at the end.

But I think my neurotic problems are my problems of behavior at least have solutions now so I can move through them differently and make them more relatable, because I used to assume when that every when I was younger was angry and bitter like me, but they weren’t. Josh Blue has a new memoir. He said not everything made the final cut. He wrote some chapters centered on his experiences with marriage and fatherhood. Josh says that can come later in a different book.

This one feels like it should be more about me and my path he has called something to stare at. Josh says, I put the book up on my website. I thought to get a couple of orders, but I had five hundred already. I’m just overwhelmed with the fact that this many people have ordered the book without any reviews because they just want to support me, and I know it’s going to be a good story because they love my stand up and they love my spirit and personality. What would he like to do in the future, Josh says, I think porn would be fun.

Now. I’ve always wanted my own TV show, I want my own sitcom. I feel like the world is ready for a disabled lead, and I feel like I’m the guy to do it. If you have an idea of what you want to do, when you put it in the world, it happens. Obviously, you have to put the work in.

But so many times people are afraid to even take the first step of dreaming. I think sometimes people have an idea of what a disability is and what this book will be, and it’s not woe is Me or inspirational. It’s not who I am. I’m just telling my story. It’s a unique story, and I feel like there’s more to come.

It’s not done. I worked with him, you know, and like all my stories now, they are million years ago. But I worked with him back in the day, and he was a very cool guy. You know who else was cool back in the day. Well, he’s still cool.

But I used to work with him a lot back in the day Bill Engvall, who has unretired. He’s at Treasure Island Casino tonight. Is it a comeback Bill Engvall, it’s all the Star Tribune. Yes, I’m back out. Nindsight, I should have just taken a break.

I got burned out, but I missed that juice you get from an audience. You also create a lifestyle that’s got to be fed. Nobody’s coming to me anymore saying we’ll take care of your bills. My celebrity recognition factors way down. Used to be.

I can walk in a restaurant and that say we’ve got a table for you. We’re going to take care of your dinner. I’m not gonna lie. That’s fun. When did he know retirement was a mistake within six months.

At first, I was bound to determine to make it work. Then I caught myself watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and that’s when I knew it was time to get back on the road. Comedy stock Market, It is Friday where we make our comedy stock picks. We’re gonna buy some. Nate Brigatzi today.

John Higgins posted on Instagram, and my dog was not interested at all on what Higgins had to say because she just left the room. But Higgins said, I can’t believe how lucky it was to be part of the show. It was my dream and I got to live it, and to do it with my two best friends and my dad was an unbelievable experience. Thank you to everyone who made my time there so special, made this decision that much harder. But for now, I’m excited to pursue acting opportunities that I’ll announce soon, But today I’m just grateful for everything we got to do.

It is unclear if Please Don’t Destroyer will continue to perform together when they’re not on Saturday Night Live. They are currently on tour and of dates scheduled over the next two weeks. If you listen to yesterday’s podcast, I shared my creative concerns about the Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney podcast. The first guest is Mark Maren and then I noticed the second guest is Fran Gillespie. Yeah, I don’t know either exactly.

That’s what I’m worried about. Did they drop a third episode yet? I don’t think so. Let me check they did drop a third episode. The guest on the newest episode is Tim Baltz.

Tim Baltz is an American comedian, actor, and writer. He appeared as a citizen journalist on the Comedy Central series The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, also in The Righteous Gemstones. Okay, that’s guest three. Guest two the famous Fran Gillespie. I know you’re throwing your phone against the wall right now, going How does he not know who Fran Gillespie is?

Well, obviously, she’s a writer and performer originally from Chicago, and her credits include SNL, Big Mouth, Killing It and John Mulaney presents Everybody’s in La Writer on SNL. Okay, Well and Mark Barrett. Those are your guests, says the guy recording podcasts in his basement. It’s the other charting today. I also can’t remember what this thing is called.

This has a bad title. What is this thing called? Again? What’s our podcast? Question Mark with Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney down seventeen spots today, it is the one hundred and twenty seventh biggest podcast on Apple Podcast Charts, and it is number seventeen in the comedy category.

Again, not too bad at all. Good news for Scrubs. Corla is coming back. Judy Reyis will appear as a special recurring guest star as Corla. Scrubs has a series order.

Zach Braf, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalk All back as j D. Turk and Elliott New Scrubs will follow j D and Turk, who scrubbed together for the first time in a long time. Medicine has changed in terms of change, but their bromance as stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way. Again, I’m curious what they’ll do for a set.

Will they use the sets from scrub Season nine? When it was the different hospital because the other hospital doesn’t exist anymore. Or they could recreate the old sets and just pretend season nine didn’t happen. We’ll see The Paper, which debuts tonight. Binge.

Did you watch all ten episodes yet? Why not? The Internet’s gonna spoil them for you. Why didn’t you get up at three in the morning and watch ten episodes of a sitcoms before the av club tells you, Hey, here’s what happens, Here’s why that character dies in episode eight. I made that up.

Johnny Max’s from the twentieth century. Johnny Mack doesn’t like the binge. You get no water cooler when you do the binge. Anyway, The Paper has been renewed for a second season. All ten episodes out today.

I’ll be watching football minor ish a spoiler for the show. It won’t ruin it for you. But in case you’re curious, how did the in show documentarians wind up in Toledo? We learned that dunder Mifflin was bought by an Ohio based company called Innervate. Innervate sells products made up out of paper, and because of that they came to own newspaper The Truth Teller.

Innervate also sells toilet tissue. Anyway, I’ll watch and I will tell you tomorrow on Comedy stock Marker. Remember last week we loaded up on the paper stock. I will tell you tomorrow. Are we gonna buy more?

Are we gonna sell? That’s tomorrow’s episode. Fred Armizan was asked by The Observer, Hey, Fred Ormison, what did you make of Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled by CBS. Fred said, it’s very sad. All I know is that Stephen Colbert is beloved and brilliant.

He’ll do something else great. And I don’t worry about the future of satire on TV because comedy always wins. That’s the magic of it.

Speaking of Late Night, the worst person who ever lived possibly Jay Leno.

Yeah that guy, listen to this. Thirteen years ago, Taylor Swift credited Jay Leno, of all people, with offering her some of the most memorable relationship advice of her life. Yeah, if you go back and you read. A twenty twelve episode of Cosmopolitan Magazine, Taylor Swift, then twenty three years old, took the Cosmo Quiz. She was asked, what’s the best relationship advice you ever got?

Taylor Swift said, jay Leno told me it’s easy. Just marry your conscience. Marry the one who makes you want to be a better person. Boy, jay Leno is just He’s the worst. Big day for Ohio.

Not only the paper, but the Columbus Comedy Festival is back. One hundred plus comedians, four days of events. Artists include I Won’t Read Them All, Jeremiah Watkins, Second City, Sam Tallent, James Doomian, Chad the Bird, and many many more. Some of the shows Female af an all woman lineup of stand up comedians from New York City, LA and Columbus Live Wreck is locals doing their best ten minute sets. Those are published on YouTube and social media afterwards, and also in Columbus, Ohio The Chicago Showcase hosted by Chad the Bird.

In the UK, Josh Jones kicks off a toury he’ll be touring the UK and Ireland. His new show is called I Haven’t Won the Lottery, So here’s another tour show. Josh says, I’ve done award shows for plumbers, and I’ve gigged in a barn for farmers. I’ve had times when older straight blokes looked disappointed that a camp. Gay has just walked on stage and then by the end they’re crying laughing.

Also in the UK, Graham linehim you may know him as the writer of Father Ted, a great series. If you’ve never seen it, seek that out on the internet. I don’t know where you can watch it these days. Let me open up just watch maybe I can tell you. Do you know about Just watch?

Just watch is great. It’ll tell you where things are streaming or not. Father Ted not streaming right now? That stinks anyway. Graham also created the id Crowd.

He said he was intercepted by five armed officers after flying into the UK from Arizona and told he was under arrest on substack. Graham said he was taken to a cell and question over some posts he published on Twitter back in April. The post related to him challenging a quote trans identified male unquote in a quote female only space unquote. He was released on bail. The Metropolitan Police did not identify him, a spokesperson said.

On Monday one September, at one pm, officers arrested a man at Hethrow Airport after he arrived on an inbound American Airlines flight. The man in his fifties was arrested on suspicion of inciting violence. This is in relations to posts on x SO, my fellow Americans enjoy your free speech. Yikes, and did you see this? One?

Comedian Drewski has upset some people. He did a NASCAR skit. Drewski showed up at the Southern five hundred NASCAR race in whiteface and played a character dubbed white drew Ski. The character has what appears to be full body makeup really well done, a mullet and a beard, dressed in overalls and a cowboy hat. Some fans said the skit is harmless and hilarious.

Others say it was a satire of a specific subculture. Others said it was punching up at a stereotype. Others yet condemned the use of whiteface as insensitive and hypocritical, drawing parallels to the historical use of black face. Those people argue that, regardless of intent, the act of whiteface promotes harmful stereotypes. I watched a clip.

I was not offended. I also didn’t find it particularly funny. In a similar vein forty something years ago, Eddie Murphy did a sketch where he dressed up as a white guy and went to the bank and had some laughs about how they didn’t have to check his credit or whatever the joke was. I found that very funny, but also I was thirteen. I think it’s still funny.

Haven’t watched it in a minute, so for what it’s worth, I’m not offended by Drewski’s sketch. I am impressed by his makeup. And that is your comedy news for today. See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Mark Maren continues to be super interesting on his podcast On Monday, he had Tim Highdecker on I coincidentally had listened to it on Monday, enjoyed it very much, and the media is picking up on the discussion of Joe Rogan’s podcast. Tim Hideker told Mark Maron there’s something annoying about his show Rogan that you can’t put your finger on. A few years back, he did a wonderful parody of Rogan’s show.

I actually just downloaded it again to re listen to it. Let me find it for you. It’s episode one eighty four of Tim Hideker’s Office Hours Live. If you’ve never heard it, check it out. It’s unbelievable.

It’s so on point, and Hideker said we put our finger on it, you know, and said, this is what’s annoying about it. It wasn’t even political. It’s just like how boring it is and how going in circles you end up going. Arren said that Rogan and friends spend the show skirting around an issue that you don’t understand with information that you don’t understand. Either, Maren continued, the authoritarian hardware, to say, administration and the fascist cultural apparatus through the Christians.

They’re making policy built on the back of this anti woke thing. All these comics who were like it was really about language and their own victimization that they saw, which wasn’t real. They’re tethered to political policies. They’re really killing people and damaging lives and infringing on the freedom of people and the rights. I’m working on my half, asked Maren a little bit.

I know I don’t have it at all, not that I have any of the half ass impressions, but Maren seems to speak in five word chunks, and the last word of a downbeat he tends to stretch out. For example, I’ll just do that last phrase again, the freedom of people and their rights anyway, Mark Maron said, Joe’s kind of changing as too now. But the thing is he did what he did. How convenient. Howard Stern wants us to talk about him, so we will.

He was supposed to come back from vacation on Tuesday and tell everybody what was going on, and he didn’t show up for work. Who knows now, To be fair, I’m recording this at nine in the morning on Tuesday. I never record at nine in the morning, but I had to take care of some stuff on Tuesday afternoons. I recorded way early in the day, So who knows. Howard may have said something later in the day or as I’m recording this.

I don’t know what the President announced or not. At two pm. You might be like John, you’re not talking about the thing. That’s why. Anyway, Howard was supposed to be back on Tuesday morning.

They had even ran promos during the summer promising the big reveal today. Well, Howard didn’t come. Howard’s social media accounts posted on early Tuesday that Howard Stern will now speak Monday, September eighth, encouraging listeners to stay tuned. I could all kinds of speculate here, but I suspect the news cycle will change quickly, So I’m just going to tell you that’s what happened. The Daily Mail caught up with former Stern intern Steve Grillo, who had predicted for the announcement that didn’t happen yesterday.

Comes September second. I think it’s just going to be everybody tuning in and then I think they’re going to get disappointed and tuned right back out, unless he decides to put on a leather jacket and a pair of black jeans and then come back and was like I’m back baby, which I highly doubt he’s going to do because it’s two for and in between. All of a sudden, he’s going to come back and be that awesome rock star that everybody listened to every day. Instead, Grillo calls the promo’s lame and says it’s such a sad, pathetic version of what happened to this man. I think if old Howard Stern could go and jump in the time machine, he would punch him right in the face.

Now I don’t know about the violence part of that, but I have said that in the past that nineteen eighty five Howard Stern would destroy twenty twenty five Howard Stern and hate everything that old man Howard Stern became, Grillo told the Daily Mail. Now he’s trying to develop an audience again through this entire awful hoax campaign of did he get fired? Did he not get fired? He’s going to come on announce that there’s five more years of creative BS that is going to be able to do. But that’s already been in place.

His contract is up. I guess probably January from my reliable source. That’s been part of his contract since day one or the last time. They’reknew to his contract that when he came to this point, he had an option of five years of freedom to do what he wants and still have his name on the door. It’s serious interesting.

My prediction continues to be a end of December announcement of a two year farewell tour. We’ll see some more SNL rumors. And again, I recorded early in the day, so by the time you’re hearing this, maybe there’s been eighteen more cast departures. Who knows well you do, or maybe you don’t. Maybe that’s why you listen to me.

I don’t like recording this early, but I had to. TMZ reporting SNL is looking at Cam Patterson, who you may know as a regular on Kill Tony. Cam Patterson possible new cast member. Boy, there’s a whole bunch of comedy snobs on comedy threads that already hate SNL and hate Kill Tony. If we combine those two things, those people are going to lose their minds.

TMZ points out. Cam Patterson has nearly six hundred thousand followers on Instagram. He’s part of the recent Netflix version of Killed Tony and was okay.

Speaking of SNL, beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney have a new podcast.

They’re out there trying to make some noise. Vulture caught up with them and Beck Benn said, we shared addressing room for seven years, in an office for eight years, so just hanging out in the office and doing bits and making each other laugh was a very creative, natural process, and we missed that now as a podcast executive, I see some red flags here. Kyle Mooney said. I think we were psyched about the premise that we don’t know what we’re doing and we’re going to explore how to become better podcasters. Beck Bennett said, were talssing around ideas and we didn’t really have anything.

We were like, we could start a podcast, but why would we be starting a podcast. Kyle had the idea where we start a podcast trying to figure out what our podcast was, and I guess would come on and give us an idea. Okay, major red flag. You know what this is telling me? This to me is screaming that they don’t have much going on, and they saw that Carve and Spade have an SNL podcast.

They are like twenty years younger. So we’ll do our own version of that. And podcasting is easy and we’ll make a ton of money and we’ll book our friends. And anytime hosts come in and be like, I don’t know what we want to do, that never works out, never well. Tray asked what podcast you listen to?

Kyle said, I listened to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Prints. Beck Bennett said I listened to SmartLess, Hollywood Handbook, dough Boys, WTF, Las Culturistas, and Office Hours Vulture. In your second episode, Mark Marin said he had a hard time telling when you are or aren’t doing a bit Kyle. It’s something we’ve encountered pretty consistently with every guest. No one has heard the podcast, and nobody knows what to expect when they come in the room, Kyle.

We pitched the podcast to a handful of places, and Headgum was incredibly receptive in an awesome way. One of the cool things about the concept of developing it with them is we don’t know the best way to present all these things, So there was a development process of how do we break this down. What portion of the show is a podcast within a podcast with guest pitches? What portion is the interview? Do you want to do an interview?

How much of it has just beckon me? So there’s this constant conservation of what this thing is, and they were really essential in the process of making it an actual podcast that seemingly is ready to be consumed. Yikes. Well, to be fair, they’re off to a good start. What’s Our Podcast with Beck Bennett Kyle Mooney is number one ten on the All Podcast charts and number fourteen on Comedy overall.

That’s pretty good. Bill Burra said he plans to attend the ninetieth edition of The Bowl when Alabama visits Auburn on November twenty ninth. Burst said, I’ve picked out the college football game that I’m going to go to this year. I got the green light from my wife because this was the hard one. It’s Auburn, Alabama and Auburn.

It’s a Saturday after Thanksgiving. Oh but it’s gonna be a good game, just for laughs. Announced their dates for twenty twenty six. I’m not sure in the past they’ve announced it this early. Now it was always really consistent in the last two weeks of July, but kind of nice to see it.

So as they’ve announced it, the festival will be held in both Quebec City and Montreal simultaneously from July fifteenth through the twenty sixth in Montreal and Quebec City July twenty second to August second. That’s interesting. Just guessing more of the French stuff will be in Quebec City would be my guest there. John Mulaney’s got a book club, remember that. Yeah, he in the middle of the holiday weekend dropped on threads.

I saw it. Weird time to make an announcement, but anyway, this month’s pick, according to John Mlanieu’s pan by Michael klune Alani said, this book is wild as a panic attack. Veteran reading this novel was a funny, surreal b so totally familiar experience. Panic has a spiritual experience. Panic has a gift from the gods.

I had never read anything by Cloon before, and I intend to dive into it all now. Some reviews describe the setting of this book as a dreary suburb, but Libertyville, Illinois is a fascinating place home to several of my cousins, as well as Tom Morello. All right, that’s John Mulaney’s a pick. Add John Clees to the list of people that when I mention them on the show, I’m never like John Klee said, it was a beautiful day and I pet a puppy and isn’t everything great in the world. He’s always fighting.

Klees is mad at the BBC and said, if you put a script in now it has to go through a bleeping committee. You have no idea what they’re doing. There’s been nothing funny since the office. It’s sad, and it’s because the people in charge of no idea how to make comedy happen. The whole process has been replaced by a bureaucratic process which does not begin to work.

He said of British comedy, we used to be really good at it and now we’re not, and that’s very sad. There weren’t committees when we started. Comedy now has to be clean. You must not play for lass. So I’m going to write a book about writing comedy and make people are aware how difficult it is.

The people organizing comedy have never been very good, but at the moment of particularly the BBC. They are clueless. I don’t think it’s a lack of talent except among the executive classes. Those classes have no idea what they’re doing. Cleaes is working on a sequel to the twenty sixteen adaptation of Faulty Towers.

Faulty Towers, Too, will be inspired by three episodes from the TV version, which include The Psychiatrist, where Basil Faulty accidentally groups a hotel guests appressed while reaching for a light switch, and also from the Kipper and the Corpse, where the hotel staff tried to hide a dead body. No word on what happened with the TV sequel of Faulty Towers. I haven’t heard anything about that.

Now, let’s check in on the worst person who ever lived, Jay Leno.

Listen to the nerve of this guy. He was trying to get the California Assembly Appropriations Committee to prove something called Leno’s Law. Leno’s Law would have given classic car owners like Jay Leno a pass from smog requirements. However, on Friday into the holiday weekend, the Assembly Appropriations Committee blot ba Field Republican Senator Shannon Grove Senate Bill seven point two from advancing for a full vote. Jay Leno, the nerve of that guy, had testified the support of the measure in Sacramento earlier in the year.

Assembly Member Buffy Wicks did not a great name. Buffy, I’m sorry it did not provide a reason for killing the bill. During Friday’s hearing, which quickly announced the fate of two hundred and sixty other bills that have been placed on the committee so called suspense file, Buffy Wicks was asked by reporters, why did you kill Jay Leno’s law? Buffy Wicks told the reporters, I’ll have to go back and look. I can’t remember what what what do you mean?

You can’t remember now? When Jay Leno testified the nerve of this guy, he said, with a modern cards, plug and get your money, boom, get out. It’s very quick to get a smock check with a modern car. It’s not impossible in an older car, but it’s tricky, takes time, and often causes charges four or five six times more than a regular car. Leno said, classic car owners struggled to even find a shop with the equipment needed to test them.

The nerve of that guy, that’s your comedy News for two. I actually wrote a substack mcktpod dot substack dot com link in the show notes about how I’ve become obsessed with jay Leto. I will tell you right now. I’ve got a jay Leto story in the scripts. I think all the way through Sunday already, I am obsessed with possibly the worst person who ever lived?

Is he you tomorrow?

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, it’s the worst day of the year. Johnny Mack hates today. It is the Tuesday after Labor Day. Summer’s over, no more beach, no more sunshine.

And back when I had a real job, this was always the day where the bosses were like, Okay, now that summer’s over, let’s do our fall initiatives and get And it was like, dude, I just want to think about the beach. Hi. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Hey. I’ve been telling you all summer long.

Adam Sandler a great dramatic actor, terrible comedic actor. You guys ignored me and you watched Happy Gilmour, and I keep telling you, no, no, no no. His best films are Uncut Gems and The Spaceman One and The Basketball One. We want dramatic actor Adam Sandler, and the buzz on his performance in this upcoming George Clooney film Jay Kelly is tremendous. In J Kelly, Adam Sandler plays against type as a serious, straight shooting manager to movie star J Kelly, played by George Clooney, who I’m often confused for, Like what if George Clooney wasn’t as good looking and had a lot of donuts for breakfast.

That be the comparison there, But uh Anyway, Adam Sandlor spoke to Variety and said, being in this movie and not just trying to find jokes and laugh moments, that’s what’s amazing. What’s amazing to me is that Adam Sandler has been trying to find jokes and laugh moments in his other movies because he has failed terribly at that. Sandlor says, all our characters give you a moment to laugh and feel pain. As an actor, when you re a script like this, you say, holy s I can’t believe I’m getting this gift. Director Noah Bomback said Adam does have such grace and loyalty and generosity and hard around the people he works with in his family.

He really does find a way to involve everyone. It’s the opposite of Jay Kelly. He’s found a way to navigate this whole thing and do it successfully. Sandlor said, I’ve always tried to bring the family when we go to film a movie, and it can’t happen every time. But FaceTime is nice too.

I’ve seen the cast list of your films, Adam, don’t act like the family’s not with you. They’re in the darn things, Sli. I’ve always appreciated my manager, my agent, my publicists. I know how hard they work and how difficult it is to hear my ups and downs and to back me up. Even when I could get loud at times.

I was excited to play a man who was devoted. I admire everyone who does that. Hey, you want to feel old? Matt Rife caught up with Billboard and now. Matt Riffe’s current tour poster is an homage to Billy Idol.

That’s great. I mean, who doesn’t like Billy Idol. The Rebel Yell album is fantastic. White Wedding is always a banger, as the kids say at weddings. Well, how did Matt Riffe get into Billy Idol?

His grandfather introduced him. So that’s not my kids getting into Billy Idol, that’s Matt Rife’s grandfather or I said, yeah, my grandpa put me on a classic rock as far back as I can remember. It’s still my favorite genre of music. But my last tours have been inspired by classic musicians. I did the doors for my problematic tour poster and this one I did Billy Idol and I actually dyed my hair blonde for it.

I’ve never done anything like that before. Funny how the world works out. I actually got to work with Billy Idol on the promo he did for his current tour. I had him sign my arm and I went straight to the tattoo shop. So now I have Billy Idol tattooed on my arm.

That’s a bad decision, matt Riyfe, What are you thinking? Rafe said, Billy Idol is the nicest, coolest guy. How he speaks, what he speaks about, the stories he had to tell. I’d love to play him in a biopic someday, you know what, not the worst casting. I would go see that.

What are we gonna call it? You have to call it Rebel Yell, right, and any other title would be dumb. I have called up on Google Billy Idol’s songs. I probably could do this for memory, but it’s easier this way, all right, I vote we call the movie Rebel Yell. Other candidates would be dancing with myself not awful, hot in the city, worse but not as good catch my fall don’t need a gun to be a Lover, Eyes without a Face, White Wedding Stand in the Shadows, that’s you know, that’s kind of too clever for school.

That’s a great song on the Rebel Yell album from nineteen eighty three. If you haven’t been paying attention to Billy. First of all, there’s some full concerts of him on YouTube. He did one at the Hoover Dam. He said, sounds great, and he put out a few songs in the last couple of years.

I have my phone, let me tell you what they’re called. From his twenty twenty five album Dream Into It. There’s a song called Still Dancing that I liked a lot. And in twenty two we put out an EP called The Cage that was fantastic. The song Running from the Ghost is pretty good, and the song Rebel Like You peak Billy Idol, I mean fantastic.

Billy Otto went I Know what you want? Here you go love it. We’ll stick with bill Board. Four second into the holiday weekend, they put out the July box Score Report Who’s got the biggest tours? We’ll focus on the comedians here.

Who do you think was the biggest touring comedian for July twenty twenty five wrong. The answer is weird Al Yankovic eight million dollars over one hundred and forty thousand tickets sold. Yeah, I remember he played the Garden That surpassed the monthly gross and attendance of the previous three leaders. All did twenty shows. That’s a lot in thirty one days.

It was the most shows that anyone played across all genres that month. People that were close were Kesha, who did nineteen fish and Tyler the Creator did seventeen each. At the Garden, weird Ow brought in more than one million dollars from a sold out crowd of twelve four hundred and sixty one. Weird Out beat Out Nate Brigetzi Wow Nate did six shows in July and grossed only five point one million dollars on sixty four thousand, seven hundred tickets. Number three Peter Kay did four shows three point four million.

Number four Future Billy id On Matt Rife two shows two point six million, twenty five thousand, four undred tickets. Two point six million on two shows is not bad money if you can get it. And Number five The Dude Perfect Guys. They did four shows gross two point four million, thirty seven thousand, seven hundred tickets. Pat Oswald, who appeared in possibly perhaps maybe the worst episode of Star Trek Exchange New Worlds that ever existed.

He played Doug the Vulcan. Did you hear me throw a brick through my television? No? I didn’t actually destroy my television, but I wanted to. Patton Oswalt needs to stick to game shows.

He was the phone a Friend Lifeline on who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Jimmy Kimmel, your host, Cal Penn phone to friend Patton Oswalt. He described Patton Oswalt as both hilarious and incredibly intelligent, and also terrible at Star Trek. I will point out Cal Penn probably should have mentioned that kim Ol called Patton Oswalt one of the smartest guys I know, but terrible at Star Trek. Patton Oswalt shouted out the answer Shakespeare, as though that was the answer to an unspecified question.

Penn fired off the question with the remaining answers, and even though there were only two options to choose from, Patton Oswalt seemed uncertain of his choice. The question had to do with the commonly no name of Gua Shah a wellness technique practiced in China for centuries. The fifty to fifty lifeline was already gone. The two remaining answers, do you know the answer? Is it nerve numbing or skin scraping?

I will tell you after the break. When we last left, there were two answers on the Who Wants to be a Millionaire board. Your friend Patton Oswalt is on the phone. He’s going to tell you if Gwa Shaw is nerve numbing or skin scraping. Patton Oswalt, terrible at Star Trek, says the answer is nerve numbing.

Do you want to go with him? Kal Penn did? Turns out wrong, The answer is skin scraping. So Patton Oswalt is terrible at Who Wants to be a Millionaire? And of course Star Trek a lot of game show news.

Jimmy Fallon not afraid to work. He’s like the Kevin Hard of Late Night. He’s got yet another gig right last week he’s doing some sort of ad agency thing. He’s going to do some Sunday night Tonight shows. Well.

Password has been renewed for season three on NBC. In case you’ve never seen Password, with a series of one clues teams race to guess the secret password for a chance to win cash prizes. Here you want to play password with me? Here, I’ll feed you word ready, unfunny, that’s right, the password is saidler. See, you would have won a lot of money if you and I were on password with Jimmy Fallon.

The Guardian asked Eric Idol, which comedian living or did do you admire the most. Eric Idol said Peter Cook, Billy Connolly, Robin Williams, Eddie Zard Erica, who’s probably a fan of the podcast Palace Intrigue, where we talk about the royal family every day. He talked about the royal family with The Guardian and he said, I feel really sorry for the royals. Sometimes they’re very nice and human and other times they’ve become monsters, because if you’re called sir at five, you’re putting trouble into people. King Charles was very funny.

He was at Cambridge, he did comedy and he loves Spike Milligan and would always come to Billy Connolly’s shows. But it’s not a society I’d be happy to live in. The thing I like about America is it created itself. It’s the only place that wrote a script for itself, but it needs a rewrite to bring it up to date. The Second Amendment says at sixteen, you’re allowed a major weapon of war.

I really think they’re serious about wanting to get rid of liberals and lefties. They’re very crazy. Send your letters to Eric Idol new topic, looking back on your career from Python to spam a lot. Do you think satshire can still achieve in today’s world the power it had during the Python days? Eric Idel said, Python’s not satsire, it’s the opposite SATs Our ends it’s dead.

You don’t watch early episodes of Snell and think, oh, gerald Ford fell downstairs. Python was always generic comedy and it survives longer. Great point. That’s your comedy news for today. If you would like the program without commercial interruptions, open up Apple Podcasts.

There’s a banner there it says uninterrupted listening. You click that and for five bucks a month you’ll get this show and five good news stories, which I also host Palace Intrigue. In case you’re like Eric Idle and you want to hear stuff about the royal family. Taylor Swift today, you can imagine what that’s about. Five daily trivia questions really catching on.

That one works particularly well. Commercial free you got to admit. So you click that banner it says uninterrupted listening, and you get a thirty day free trial, and then here’s what happens. Then on day thirty one, Apple sent you note they’re like, hey, you were billed four ninety nine. You’re like what, and you’re like, ah, Johnny Mack tricked me with his thirty day free trial.

But then you realize, oh, it was just seventeen cents a day. I’ve got seventeen cents, and then we’re all happy. The seventeen cents comes in. Apple takes their thirty percent, so there’s like twelve cents left. My business partner Mark, he takes six cents and I get like six cents and you don’t have any commercials.

I mean, it’s a good deal. I want to drept the listening Apple podcasts here tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media Happy Nikki Glaser Day. I’ll get to that. Hello, I’m Johnnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. If you’re in Saint Louis, if you’re at the Cardinals game, if you’re at Bush Stadium, today is Nikki Glaser Day. She’s being honored with her very own bobblehead.

Nikki Glaser told Saint Louis on the air. I was kind of embarrassed at first. There’s gonna be a bobblehead and kids are going to be confused, like who is this lady. With the purchase of a theme ticket, fans well receiving Nikki Glaser bobblehead today at Bush Stadium. Nicki said this was something that was offered to me from the Cardinals as a our hometown girl.

We love you, and I’m just trying to accept it and not fight it. She’s from Saint Louis, loves Saint Louis and says, when I’m on both of the coasts, it’s like constantly comparing yourself and everyone’s just chasing their status. That is true, Nicky Glazer. Here, it just feels a little bit more relaxed than I get back to what’s important, having a good time and going out to to eat. Living here is just wanting to focus on my family while they’re still around and healthy and want to hang out with me.

It’s also just being in a town where what podcast you have, what spots you’re doing that night, what parties are going to, what red carpet’s you’re attending, doesn’t matter. That’s not here and that’s not what people value here, and it just recalibrates me. Nicki says, if she spends too much time on the coast will start to question herself. Being in Saint Louis allows her to let go of all that. It’s not because no one cares about nice things here.

They do. It’s just that it comes to my nervous system being here. If you go see Nikki Glaser live, she says, whatever you know people in the room, whether it’s somebod you might run into at the grocery store, your mom’s best friend, or your dad’s tennis partners, whatever it is, there’s an added pressure of, oh, there’s a lot riding on this. My dad has to go to tennis next week and have conversations with these people, and I don’t want to embarrass him. I just want everyone have a good time.

You know, when I’m performing in Baltimore, I leave the next day. And if they didn’t like it, okay, I don’t really have to face them, but here I have to. Boylatenighter dot Com took a terrible time to take a week off last week. Heidi Gardner has exited Saturday Night Live. She was on for eight seasons.

Seems like Lauren wasn’t kidding about the cast shake up. I continue to be of the opinion that getting out after SNL fifty was the time, including for you, Lauren. You should have gotten out as well. It’s all gonna be downhill from here. Heidi Garner is the fourth cast member to leave the show, following Devin Walker, Emil Wakeem and Michael Longfellow and between me recording this on Friday and enjoying the holiday weekend on the beach.

Who knows how many people have left us and L by the time you’re hearing this. On Thursday, a Twitter user had tagged Walker and Longfellow in a post. The fan said, wish you nothing but the best. Walker jumped in and said, y’all acting like we died. Lol.

We just getting different jobs. Walker had posted on Instagram earlier in the week, just to be clear, this is good news. It was just time for me to do something different. Please don’t be hitting me with all the I’m so sorry. We’re not on that at all.

Sometimes mom and dad just don’t see things eye to eye. Interesting. Michael Longfellow had posted on Instagram that he wouldn’t be returning for his fourth season. He wrote, wish I was, but so it goes. It was the best three years of my life so far.

So it sounds like he was pushed. Emo Wachem said being informed he wouldn’t return was a gut punch of a call the get But I’m so grateful for my time there, So obviously he was pushed on Friday, or maybe they posted it this Thursday night. Late Nighter had a rumor and they wrote, take this for what it is right now. A rumor, and Johnny Mack will say take this for what it is right now on Friday, as he records before a holiday weekend. A rumor.

But they’re hearing that one member of Please Don’t Destroy might be moved into the main cast. As for the other two members of Please Don’t Destroy. The rumor says one will stay on the show’s writing staff and the other will leave the show. Interesting, the speculation is that Ben Marshall will get the cast promotion. Now that’s interesting because the other two were Neippo babies, and I saw somebody on thread’s comment about the number of Nepo babies working on SNL.

Martin Hurley’s father is former SNL writer Tim Hurley. John Higgins father is SNL prit er writer and Jimmy Fallon sidekick Steve Higgins. A lot of ties to Lauren there. So the speculation is Ben Marshall, we’ll get the cast promotion. Adding fuels of that speculation, The Police Don’t Destroys are currently touring the US.

However, last week Ben Marshall missed several of the shows. His spot was filled by Emily Wilson, who happens to be married to John Higgins. Marshall rejoined the group later in the week. Very interesting, I shared in the Facebook group and we’ll get to it later in the week. Adam Sandler, the buzz on this J Kelly movie tremendous for Sailor’s performance, some people even saying Oscar, but I’ll save that for later in the week, but Sailor was at the Venice Film Festival.

GQ said, Sailor showed up and exactly what you think it’d wear. A freaky polo shirt completely covered in cheetahs, big baggy Nike basketball shorts, and a pair of bright pink under armor Curry elevens. However, I also saw photos of Adam Sandler in a classic tuckceedo. Yeah, like dressed properly. Oh, I’m often confused for George Clooney dress wise, I am often confused for Adam Sandler.

But right now, let’s say I’ve got a new balance thin fleece it’s a little cool, my nice black sweatpants and some Neon colored what brand of these? These are Hocus Hocus sneakers and of course my sun faded Villanova hat. So if we had a rank dressers Clooney, Johnny mac Sandler, I do clean up nice though, everyone who knows me when I do dress parplate, people go, you clean up nice? So why don’t you clean up nice? Because I record a podcast in the basement.

Speaking of Sandler, I’d saved this for the holidays. We all know he’s terrible at comedy movies. But what about sandwiches. Allrecipes dot Com wrote about Adam Sandler’s World’s Greatest sandwich, and they say it’s the only one you’ll need this tomato season. You see in the two thousand and four horrible movie Spanglish, Adam Sandler played a chef in the movie.

He makes an epic restaurant worthy sandwich toasted bread layered with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, cheese, and a fried egg. It was simple, but perfect, and it looked delicious. Allrecipes dot Com says, for now, I’d like to begin by letting you know that this sandwich wouldn’t have earned world’s best status without the man behind the creation, Chef Thomas Keller of French laundry fame. He was on set during filming to help Adam Sandler create the simple, yet artfully crafted sandwich. All Recipees tells us if you want to make the World’s Greatest sandwich at home, good news you can.

All of the ingredients are readily available at your local grocery store. We learned the sandwich begins with toasted bread. It should be country style or another hearty bread that could be thickly sliced. Once toasted. One slice gets topped with mayonnaise, then tomato slices and a sprinkling of salt.

This is followed by a layer of crispy bacon. So far this sounds great, which is top with a fried egg cooked in butter, of course, and a layer of butter leaf lettuce. The other slice of toasted bread is top with cheese and broiled until melted it’s a lot of work, and then added as the final perfect layer. The Guardian caught up with eric Idol. They said, I love your songs and I sing them frequently, including the now unacceptable eye like Chinese, which increasingly just sounds like pragmatic foreign policy.

How did it feel in the early days of Python being the only one who wasn’t in a writing team. The other teams were Chapman, Clee’s and Jones Palin. Eric Idle said, I don’t like being part of a writing team because I don’t like talking before lunch. I wake up at five point thirty and love discovering what’s in your mind. You don’t judge it, you just find it, write it and create it and then do a lot of rewriting.

What was hard was the other Pythons had two votes to one. This is interesting about the Beatles. When I first met George Harrison, we bonded immediately and talked all night, and I realized we played the same roles in our groups. There were these two heavy, powerful blocks, and we were in the middle. We didn’t have as much power, but we learned a lot from it.

Eric said, I’m still a friend of Ringos, and Paul’s always very nice and friendly, but we’re not close. Late Night TV maybe not so Dead NBC will air four special Sunday night editions of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Those will follow Sunday night football and local newscast. Stay tuned after your local news for a brand new episode of The Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon the first, September twenty first, following Chiefs Giants Chiefs, Taylor Swift all that that’s a good lead in.
