Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny mag If you’re a new listener and this is the first time you’ve ever heard this podcast, pick a different episode because here’s why this is a very special episode. Normally I talk about comedy headlines and what happened in like the last twenty four hours. But today because Liz m went to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News and accepted the challenge that I’ve had up there for a while. And if people spent enough money on buying me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News, I would do an entire episode saying nice things about Adam Sandler movie.

So Liz took the challenge, bought me five large iced coffees, and wrote, can’t wait to hear an entire episode of you saying nice things about Adam Sandler movies. So that’s what today is. Again. If this is your first time listening, listen to you. Yesterday’s episode or Thursday was pretty good.

I don’t know if Fridays was good. See I recorded this one on Wednesday, so I don’t know if yesterday was good or not. Anyway, I’m gonna say nice things about it. Adam Sandlor movies. I’m not going to do it sarcastically.

I’m not going to do it with loaded backdoor comments. I’m going to do this straight. Are you ready? Back in twenty nineteen, Adam Sandler told Yahoo that he doesn’t read reviews. He says, I don’t sit and read them.

Some people criticize Adam Sandlor movies, and Adam says it’s been going on so long that doesn’t really bother me anymore. When I was young and I read my first couple of reviews and how hard they came at me and hated my stuff, it was shell shocking because I was young and excited. Then I got hit with how terrible my stuff was. But I guess I just believed differently, so I kept doing my thing along the way. Adam’s had some pretty successful movies, including Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer.

He’s got the upcoming film Space Man, and Vanity Fairs spoke to Adam. Baseman will show up on Netflix on March first. It stars Adam Sandler’s Jacob, a check astronaut on a solo mission to the edge of the Solar System. It co stars Paul Dano as a large, multi legan alien who infiltrates Jacob ship and needles him with questions the astronauts would rather not hear. Sandler says, don’t expect Rob Schneider to show up.

This is a drama, somber meditation on loneliness, avoidance, and regret. Sandlor tells Vanity Fair the trailer lets you know what the vibe of the movie’s gonna be. I don’t think it’s gonna throw anybody off. Netfilix is presenting it in a way that you know what’s to be expected, and it’s not a comedy, he says. He might get ticked off, like, hey, I was hoping for some funny Sandman stuff here.

But if you know from the outset, then you can go into it thinking like, all right, let’s see what this is. Sandler says, everyone’s gonna have their own reaction. His own reaction to the first screening was almost like a concert movie, like the feel of how it takes you away. But I have no idea what other people are gonna feel. He spent some time dangling from wires to simulate zero gravity, acting alone, often separated even from the crew who were out of sight operating cameras on sixty foot cranes.

Sandler says, I was talking to a tennis ball a lot, but it was a great atmosphere to go to places and try to feel the real thing. A lot of the movie was shot on sound stages in Long Island. I used to live right near those sound stages, which allowed them to go home most days. But then the production moved to the Czech Republic for the flashback sequences, and he said that helped him channel the loneliness. When we were shooting in the Czech Republic.

It’s a different time zone, everybody’s off. You’re not living the same life you do when you’re home, so I yearned for that. If it’s way long, I started losing it. I called my wife and tell her what Cino was about to do with discuss things to get me to these certain places, and man, it was deep and too many days when Elf my trailer going oh this is not going to be an easy scene. I was walking to the set going all right, here we go, man, let’s feel it.

Sadlor says it’s our nature that we keep burning up all that stuff in our quest to fulfilled needs that we have within ourselves and goes wow, you better quote that one. From the Alabama Take website, they point out Adam Sandlor isn’t just good, he’s one of the best to ever do it. Back in two thousand and two, we got Sandlor’s first serious, dramatic head turning role in the strange but wonderful rom com masterpiece Punched Drunk Love. Then in twenty seventeen, the brilliant funny Drameda The Myrowitz Stories, and of course my favorite Adam Sandler movie, The wonderfully fantastic Uncut Gems. Alabama Take rates Adam Sandlor is a good actor when he wants to be.

Here’s the thing. There isn’t another actor in the history of motion pictures that’s been more unfairly scrutinized, more severely underappreciated, and more blatantly disrespected than Adam Saidlor. Case in point, look at the list of Best Living America actors Adam Sailor one hundred and seventh. Sailor’s made some of the greatest and most influential American comedies ever. Thanks to cable TV and streaming services rights the Alabama Take, where these movies are constantly featured and easily accessible.

They’re as popular now as they’ve ever been. Happy Gilmour is the best golf movie of all time. It’s better than Caddy Shack. The Wedding Singer is a beloved romantic comedy even today. Sailor’s biggest box office success of the nineties, Big Daddy, is the culmination of the Sandman’s growth both as a writer and actor.

But the best movie from that time, and the one where Sandler’s comedic genius is on full display, is none other than The water Boy. The boint Is Sandlor is criminally underrated because folks have failed to see the genius at work. Clydeer and I agree that Drew Barrymore is awesome in Adam sandler movies, and they point out his performances lead to one consistent factor, his impeccable chemistry and compatibility with Drew Barrymore. They’ve co starred in three films, The Wedding Singer, Fifty First States, and Blended. Each came out in a different decade, and they each feature Adam Sandlor at his very best.

The pinnacle of Sandler’s performances are a product of his own comedic skills, but are elevated to new heights because of Barrymore’s own wit, cheer and heart. Whenever they’re in the same scenes, Sandler and Barrymore are always messing with each other, or they’re messing with everyone around them. They tease and poke at each other in every film like a pair of best friends. In The Wedding Singer, there’s a scene where a wedding photographer mistakes them as a couple. They’re not a couple yet.

In that scene, instead of being embarrassed, they jump into this weird, absurd improv scene where they pretend to be siblings. The look of shock in the photographer’s face is as extreme as the laughs that people experience seeing it because the pair are being utterly mischievous and rascally. In Fifty First Dates, Barrymore is able to match Saidlor’s humor again, even though she’s essentially playing a character who doesn’t even have the memory of their past to build on and in Blended, before their first kiss, she takes a moment to tease Adam sandlor A’s payback for something he did earlier in the movie, Sandler says, no matter what’s going on, I’m always pulling for Drew and she’s the same way. Whenever I’m doing something, I know she’s pulling for me.

All right, let’s rank the best Adam Sailor movies.

Number one Uncut Gems with his debts amounting and angry collectors closing in a fast talking New York City jeweler risks everything in hope of staying afloat and alive. I know Adam was hoping to get some Academy Award action for that one, was disappointed when he didn’t. Number two. I’m gonna go with Hustle. Fun basketball movie, plenty of famous cameos.

The plot knows what it is, the movie moves along. It’s fun. It’s not quite Uncut Gems, but Hustle is pretty good. At number three, fifty First Dates Drew Barrymore two thousand and four. Just talked about that if you haven’t seen it in a while.

Fifty First States follows Henry Roth, a marine biologist and a womanizer who uses his deception to bed tourists on the island. But when he meets local girl Lucy, he begins to fall in love. The only problem she’s got amnesia, and her memory resets after every day. At number four, we have The Wedding Singer, which tells the story of Robbie, a small town wedding singer who, after being left at the altar, becomes disillusioned with love, but he begins to bond with his best friend Julia again Drew Barrymore and for me at number five, the remake of The law Youngest Yard. I guess I like sports movies and I like Sandler a little more dramatic.

This is the remake of the nineteen seventy four Burt Reynolds movie The Longest Yard, about a jailed pro football player who recruits convicts for a one off grudge match against the guards. That’s my personal top five. It’d be curious what yours are. You can join us in the Facebook group Daily Comedy’s podcast group. Do have to point out some other great Adam Sandler movies, Happy Gilmore, where he’s a hot headed hockey player with a powerful slap shot.

However his temper and lack of skating skills hold him back. Then he finds out he’s good at golf. Then there’s The water Boy with a fantastic Henry Winkler scene, a nice happy ending. How could you not like that? Billy Madison, probably the most quotable of Adam Sandler’s films.

Chris Farley Steve as Shemi nor McDonald in that one.

---

And then, of course Jack and Jill.

Adam Sandler, pulling a double roll, plays Jack and he plays Jill. Jack and Jill are twins separated by a continent and a chasm of luck, achievement, and social status. When Jill arrives from the Bronx to spend Thanksgiving at a brother’s gorgeous la homes and provokes a steady barrage of rage and disgust. And that it’s your comedy news for today. Thank you, Liz for going to buy me a coffee.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News to Valentine’s Day jokes. I know it’s the sixteenth, but these from late night they were pretty good. Seth Meyers said, today was Valentine’s Day, so no, and I’m getting tonight eight hours of sleep. Love it.

Jimmy Fallon said, that’s right, it’s Valentine’s Day and if you forgot, don’t worry. This is a good chance President Biden did too. Ouch. Let’s start on gossip corner. Matt Rife recently played Radio City.

Remember the show and Lisa Ann, the actress, got thrown out? I told you about that story. Yeah. Apparently, Pete Davidson was scheduled to be the surprise warm up act on the first night. Pete had agreed to do the gig, but according to Radio City insiders, Pete backed out two hours before showtime.

Rife’s team had to scramble to find a backup. They wound up going with John Campanelli, who has toured with Rife. Sounds stressful, but it’s New York City. I mean that hard to find a comedian who knows. Shane Gillis host Saturday Night Live tomorrow.

Johnny Mac is curious there’s been no press. I thought there’d be a bunch of articles. There were early in a week with people complaining about Shane, but usually NBC or release a teaser or something, and I thought people would react to that. So far, nothing very interesting. I’m sure we’ll have some reactions after the fact.

I got this fancy email from the Netflix is a Joke Festival. I was looking for some proper copy, but there is none, so I’ll just have to skim this email here. Netflix is a Joke Fest just added at one o plus artists and one hundred and eighty plus shows at LA’s most iconic comedy clubs. Let’s open up the email and see what we got. So this is gonna be all over the place schedule wise, right, Howie Mandel in our Senio Hall at the Comedy Store in May fourth, that’s not bad, Master Brownie at the Improv on the second, Eric Griffin and Friends at the Laugh Factory May ninth, Brian Simpson at the Comedy Store on the seventh, Namesh Patel May fourth at the Improv.

Also shows by Dulce, Sloan, Steph Tolev, Pink Fox, Janato Unaka, who’s really fantastic, Eliza Trigger, Jannis Poppus. So the people I mentioned got pictures. Now I’m in a section that says and so many more, which is interesting because I think some of these names are bigger. Some of these names include Jay Farrows at the Improv on May eighth, Big Jay Okerson at the Comedy Store on the tenth, and then some lesser known people.

And then the email ends, send some copy?

Will you Netflix? If you’re in Tilleride tonight? The Tillride Comedy Festival continues Tonight is in evening of stand up and improv, hosted by Nick Krohle.

Also appearing on the show are Jason Menzukis and Paul Sheer, along with a bu…

If you are in Duluth, the Duluth Comedy Festival is back today after a five year hiatus. Drew Lynch opens tonight. Maria Bamford Tomorrow Night with Jackie Kash. Bamford discussed writing and said, within the myth of Sisypus, I am the rock. If you’re in charge of pushing me up that hill, there’s no momentum.

I’m gonna roll right back down again. Asked what’s making her laugh these days, she said her husband YouTube and open mics. I saw an older man doing a rhyming act five minutes. Not only was it misogynist, really anti woman, but also body positive. So if you ever border lonely, treat yourself.

Drew Lynch tonight at eight Maria and Jackie on Saturday. And Marie’s also doing a book signing at two to four pm on Sunday at the Zenith Bookstore on Central Avenue. You know the one funny stuff from Maria Bamford who said, I’m not a drinking person’s comic. I’m not always a good time. Please YouTube me before buying a ticket.

It’s really harm reduction. Some people into Luth have suggested that they name a street after Maria Bamford. There are some streets there named after Bob Dylan. Dylan spent time in Duluth and his youth, but never wrote about the town, so they want to rename those with Maria Bamford’s name. She was asked what would be on Maria Bamford Street, and she said, it’s got to be a dead end, right, a sinkhole.

Maybe it’s just a sidewalk outside of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Al dot Com is in Alabama. Dot Com asked Dusty Slay about his perspective as a Southern comedian. Dusty, who I Love, said, yeah, I mean I’m Southern, right. It’s like I live in the South.

I’ve always lived in the South, and I really like it. I don’t know that you can necessarily be proud of just being born in a geographical area, but if you can, yeah, I’m proud of it. I feel like the South is a special place. We’ve got a lot of food traditions and things. I don’t know.

I just love being in the South. But it’s not my whole being, you know. My accent. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. It definitely faded a lot over the years.

I wish i’d talked like Matthew McConaughey, but I don’t, and I’m not gonna fake it. I’ve traveled all over the country now. There are a lot of great places in this country, and even places growing up that I thought i’d never like. I go there and I’m like, wow, this is a wonderful place. California these days can be the butt of a lot of jokes, but you go to California and it’s like, oh, it’s awesome out here.

Why did he pick Knoxville as the location for his recent special, He said, if I’m given an opportunity to film, I usually end up having to go to New York in LA I love going all the cities, but I never get to do anything in the South film wise. This time was my choice. I want to do something in the South, and I really like Knoxville, but they don’t have a comedy club, so I thought, I never get to go there and do comedy. That’s perfect. My jokes will be fresh to them.

Then the Biju Theater in Knoxville came up as an option. It’s a really nice theater and friends of mine comics have done the Bshu and they spoke highly of it. We sold out two shows, so I got to do two shows back to back and they were great. Like we didn’t have to go out and do things where we say, all right, we need you to get a laugh here so we can capture some laughter. We didn’t have to do any of that.

You never know. I could do a joke one hundred times, get a huge laugh, and then the day I’m recording, Suddenly he doesn’t get a laugh. But this audience was on board all the way. The shows were amazing. Hannibal Burr spoke to The Sun Times about his music career.

He said music happened before comedy, but not in a way when I was doing it much. I was around it though. When I got into comedy early on, I was having positive experiences and was easy to keep doing it. I think a lot of it was partially identity too. You know, I’m a comedian, but I appreciate now that with music, I’m able to go into it at a high level.

I know that if nobody else books me, I’m gonna book me. As for comedy, he says, the business is in a huge place right now. There’s a lot more people doing arenas, a lot more people doing big theaters and multiple nights. Really because of podcasting and YouTube. It still a huge deal if someone plays Madison Square Gardener United Center, but there’s more people doing it than there used to be.

What is it like about Chicago? He says, I hit a pot belly a lot. You ever have pot belly? It’s pretty good. He says, for real, this is not me trying to get sponsored.

I’m trying to tell you the pot Belly Perks app. Every two purchases, they’re giving me something free. He opened up his app as proof says, I got three hundred and fifty five points. All right, tomorrow on this very program. It is the episode where I say nice things about Adam Sandler movies.

It’s recorded, it’s in the can. So unless sometime today, you know, Dave Chappelle and I don’t know, John Mulaney get into a fistfight and Kat Williams makes fun of it, unless something like that breaks out, that will be tomorrow’s episode. And I played it straight, no sarcasm, no loaded comments, didn’t put a lilt in my voice. It’s a straight up episode me saying nice things about Adam Sandler movies. That’s tomorrow.

Sunday will be normal. Are you watching louder Milk on Netflix. My buddy Mike in Cleveland mentioned that he was watching it, and I was looking for something to watch the other night. I was like, all right, I’ll check this out, and boy, it’s really good. Who knew?

I guess everybody but me knew, But then again maybe not. You see, louder Milk had been around. Previously, it used to run on the AT and T Audience Network. What yeah, that’s why you’ve never seen it. But Netflix picked it up and they put it in front of Mike, and Mike’s telling everybody about it.

And now Loudermilk Season one was in the Netflix Top ten most view shows in the US for four weeks the week’s ending January fourteenth, twenty one, twenty eight, and February four with a peak rank of number four during the week of January fifteenth. Deadlines Ratings Guru said this is just another example of the power of Netflix when it comes to boosting the profile of shows. I’ll jump in yeah, like the Suits is back right, yeah, it says. This one’s a bit of a different ballgame than some of the HBO series we’ve seen light up on Netflix since the AT and T Audience Network had a much smaller footprint. Much smaller is an understatement.

I think this podcast has a bigger audience than the AT and T Audience Network had. However, it’s becoming really clear that Netflix can do for a series what basically no other streamer can. Loudermilk first aired in twenty seventeen on the afore mentioned Audience Network for ten episodes, then the next year another ten. Then the show received the season three order in twenty eighteen, which was filmed, and then the AT and T Audience Network shut down before it aired. In April of twenty twenty one, Season three of Loudermilk aired on Amazon Prime, which none of us watched.

Well, now there’s talk of making a season four. Isn’t that amazing? There is a proposed plot here for season four, but I’m going to resist the temptation to read it to you because it might ruin your enjoyment of the show. But check out Loudermilk. It is a lot of fun.

Earlier in the week, I told you that Gavin and Stacey was coming back for a Christmas thing. E Well, Ruth Jones, who stars in the show and co writes it with James Corden, said that’s just a rumor. She told Ireland’s Arte Radio one. I don’t know what to say. All I could say is if there was something to say on that front, James and I would happily announce it.

With some random journalists who decided to write this, I’m lost for words. It’s hilarious. I just have to smile. She made fun of the next notion. Apparently there’s a bidding war going on between the BBC and Netflix, and I love it because it says a source says, Who’s this source?

Amy Schumer’s Life and Beth is back today. I was driving in New York City the other day by the Lincoln Tunnel entrance on the Manhattan side. There was a big billboard promoting this Amy’s been making the rounds. I skimmed the articles and I didn’t find anything interesting enough to share with you, so I’ll just tell you that the show is back today. She was on Jimmy Fallon and some people thought she looked different.

I’m not here to be Caddy, but you might want to google that. And that is your comedy news for today again. Adam Sandler Tomorrow can’t wait, can’t you? Yeah? If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it too, and I’ll see you here tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Big ratings for John Stewart returning to The Daily Show Monday night, the show drew nine hundred and thirty thousand viewers. That’s the most for the Daily Show since March twenty eight, twenty eighteen. Midway through Trevor Noah’s run, there was some simulcast on other Paramount owned channels that brought the total number to one point eight five million viewers.

Some comparison numbers. During Trevor Noah’s final ten weeks of host, he was averaging four hundred and sixteen thousand. Prior to the writer strike last May, the guest hosts were averaging three hundred and sixty nine thousand. When the Daily Show came back on October with no host, the average was under three hundred thousand. Ouch.

How else do we compare that nine hundred and thirty thousand slash one point eight five million viewers? Well, let’s see, NCIS had seven point three two million viewers on Monday night. The Bachelor had three point four nine million. John Stewart, capitalizing on the momentum, announced a small tour March first in Poughkeepsie, New York, on the fifteenth, York, Pennsylvania, March twenty ninth, Princeton, April ten, Stanford, Connecticut, and April twenty seventh in Wilmington. I was thinking some more about Trevor Noah versus Spotify and how Trevor had fallen out of the charts.

So here’s why that could be a problem. Let me walk you through how the sales works really quickly. Podcasts are sold on a CPM model, which means how much money do I have to give you to reach one thousand listeners? So I’ll keep the math simple. Usually a CPM number is around twenty dollars, So if a podcast has one thousand listeners, you’ll charge twenty dollars for an ad.

Rates may vary, but that’s simple math there, right. So if you have ten thousand downloads, you’re going to get two hundred dollars per commercial, et cetera. So Trevor launched really well, and I bet they were quite enthusiastic about the sales. And if he’s fallen out of the top two fifty, that means the numbers have likely gone down and you wind up in what I call make Good Hell. So what I mean by that is you’ve told the advertiser, Hey, we’re going to reach a thousand people, and then you don’t actually reach a thousand people.

You reach eight hundred people, and then the advertiser is said and you’re like, don’t worry, we’ll make it up to you, and you can make it up to them. But the problem is when you make it up to them, you’re tying up your commercial inventory to make up what you didn’t deliver in the first place. So you either have to add more and more commercials or you have to run a make good a freebie to make your advertiser happy because you missed the projection. Anyway, make Good Hell can get ugly really quickly. I’ll be curious to see what’s going on with Trevor No and Spotify.

All speculation on my part, but I do have some expertise on the subject. It’speaking of a podcasts. I noticed Weird al Is on Craig Ferguson’s podcast. I’d fallen out of listening to Craig, but I’m a big weird al fan, so I will check that out. Didn’t get to it yet.

I watched Taylor thomasin special on Netflix. It’s nice enough. It makes my end of the year list. The end of the year list right now is number one, Dusty Sleigh, number two, Taylor Thomason, nothing else is on it. Three didn’t make the list.

Pete Davidson, Jackie Novak, and Kevin James. I suspect by the end of the year, Taylor Thomlinson will be more in the like twenty one to twenty two range. It’s not going to be the second best special of the year. In no way. It’s fine.

I do have a note for Taylor. You don’t need the F bomb. She will drop an F bomb and it’s not really punching up a joke. It’s just I guess the way she speaks, and it was actually a little joring. She should drop that habit.

She doesn’t need it at all. I did find pretty deep in the special. Her constant hyper delivery was starting to wear on me. The specials probably fifteen minutes too long. But it’s nice enough.

Again. It made the list. Rolling Stone profile Taylor. She told them it’s the first time in her life she’s at an actual job. I have a badge.

I’ve never gone into a studio a lot with a badge. I’ve just been like, Hi, it’s me. Last name is Tomlinson, and they’re like, we don’t have you in the system. She also has a writer’s room, which feels like a luxury. She says, it’s so funny to me when everyone’s like, you’re so good at reading prompters, and I’m like, great, people wrote me great jokes that you just have to deliver.

I’ve been writing my own hour and a half of material I have to do from memory, Like this is awesome, what a sweet gig. Interesting take here by Taylor. She doesn’t want to hype this only woman in Late night thing, She said, I mean Chelsea Handler was very popular, Like what are you talking about? Sam be went on for seven seasons. I don’t get how everyone’s like, oh, it hasn’t gone well.

I don’t think that’s true. I struggle with the right balance of being like it’s very cool and also being like, let’s not make this a thing. Could she see her getting a bigger show in the future, say in eleven thirty, She said, I have no idea. I truly haven’t thought about that at all until you said it. Rolling Stone mentioned the other day Eric idle seems unhappy with John clees Clae was asked by a fan on Twitter, because we call it Twitter, not the other thing, Elon, and the fan tweeted, because that’s what you do, paraphrasing, Hey, John, I see the pythons are all fighting.

What’s going on? John wrote back, We always loathed and despised each other, but it’s only recently that the truth has begun to emerge. So I dug deeper because you never know. With John, I’m like, is he serious? Is he joking?

Apparently he was joking. That wasn’t that clear, but he did clean it up and he said, I just saw the Press Association release. They got it totally. My remark about loathing and despising each other one refer to all the members of the group two was a joke. I would have expected the Press Association staff to have one and understanding of irony to the sense of humor.

Kevin Hart is joining the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival. He’ll do Spokane Stadiums Sunday, August twenty fifth. A suit with the festival says having a comedian at the level of Kevin Hart choosing the Great Outdoor Comedy Festival Spokane stage to perform for his fans. I hate these press releases in the region after so many years, it’s really exciting with the already announced Tom Sigora Comes Together tour now Kevin Hart, in addition to what we’re working on for Saturday, really puts Spokane in a league of their own for comedy lineups. Bad news for Sarah Silverman.

By the way, before I get in to that, I just recorded a couple episodes of Five Good News Stories. That’s the podcast. It’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I’m the host and I just tell you either good news stories or stories that’ll make you smile. I just recorded a bunch so much fun five Good New Stories.

Number five Good New Stories. Wherever you get your show’s Bad news for Sarah Silverman. A federal judge has dismissed most of a lawsuit brought by Sarah and others against Open AI over the use of compyriting books to train its generative artificial intelligent chatbot. The district judges the authors failed to cite any particular output that is substantially similar or similar at all to their books. A bunch of new comedy specials coming out Kyle kaneen his hours called Dirt Napp.

It’ll be out on March fourth. Let’s listen. Last week I did a show in Montana and we spent Labor Day in Yellowstone National Park, and it was something like I’m sitting there watch it’s beautiful and watching old faithful go up look at this landmark, and I just shoulder to shoulder with people like let’s go Brandon T shirts and like don’t tread on me, hats and everything. Just people that hate big government and either hate socialism even more unironically enjoying a national park. I love Kyle.

A couple of years back, I had his special pretty high up. The list was that twenty two No. It was last year Kyle Kanane Shocks and Struts I had at number five and twenty twenty three. The top five were Gary Goman, Tod Berry, Shane Gillis, Tom Sigour, and Kyle Kanane. I’ve been thinking a lot about Shane.

I might watch that special again if I get a minute. Ivan Decker has a new special out on eight hundred pound Gorilla Media. It’s called Popcorn, a culmination and celebration of everything that has happened in Decker’s License is last special on Netflix, including stealing a baby from Whole Foods and attempting to raise at his own. He says, popcorn gives you a rush of serotonin and dopamine that’s better than any drugs, and that is why he titled the special. Rory Scovell, also on eight hundred Pound Gorilla, has a special called Religion, Sex, and a few things in between.

That one’s going to be out on Max, and I was pretty surprised. Rory Scovell is a good comedian all but I was like, Max, Wow, so how do you explain this. Conan O’Brien is behind This doesn’t mean Rory’s bad. I’m just like, oh, now it makes sense. Conan is vouching for Rory.

He was a good comic. There’s a recorded last November at the Gooddale Theater in Minneapolis. In the hour, we see Schoolville offering observations on disparate subjects such as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting an eight year old, and much more. Seventy minutes set. That’s fifteen minutes too long.

I wanted to play some clips for you, but too naughty, can’t do it. But here’s a trailer. I really liked Hannah Gatsby. It’s a multi comic special featuring gender queer comics from around the globe. It’s called Gender Agenda.

It’ll be March fifth on Netflix. The trailer is great. I’ve scoped it down a little bit here for both pacing and language, but I’m looking forward to this like. I like this trailer a lot. The last time Netflix brought this many trans people together was for a protest.

So my name is Jess Tom, I’m trans. Can you tell don’t answer that that was a task you’re passing? Am I Back when I was in school, kids you used to call me a butt pirate and I was kind of cute. I’m not. I’m really, although I will admit I do personally prefer Booty Bandit or bum Burglar.

But we can’t all be great writers. Now, can’t you enjoy what I do here? You can go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. You can throw some money in the tip jar. I will take your money.

I will go to the National Donuts chain and I will buy a large iced coffee with caramel and milk. Now, Liz did that recently and took me up on the challenge.

Buy Me a Coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Madison Square Garden and the Garden of Dreams Foundation announced the return of Garden of Laughs, an all star comedy benefit that has raised more than six million dollars in the past.

Would nobody else text you back anyway? Chris said, it’s a Longside Knicks fan. I’ve always known about Garden of Dreams and how Garden of Laughs enables the Foundation to do its incredible work.

It could be more honored to be part of such an amazing lineup for a great cost. That sounds like something Chris would say, doesn’t it. Shrippa said, I’m so excited the Garden of Laughs is back. I’ve seen firsthand the monumental impact that the Garden of Dreams has on the young people and families it serves, and I’m honored to host an event that enables the Foundation to make an immediate an enormous impact on the community. Of Laughs was previously held in twenty thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, and nineteen.

All four previous events were sold out from Low Kick MMA, your home for comedy news, Howie Mandel was interviewing Dana White, you know, the UFC boss. According to the recap, now I’m telling you, I went to go pull the clip, and it pulled up a YouTube clip of an hour of a Howie Mandel podcast. Guess how many commercial breaks were in an hour of a Howie Mandel podcast. Fifteen? And I’m like, I’m not hunting through fifteen non skippable commercial breaks to find this clip.

Fifteen commercial breaks in an hour, even if they’re one second long. That’s annoying. What are you doing anyway? Low Kick MMA, your home for Comedy News, says that Howie was just complimenting Dana left and right, and then when it was Dana’s turn to talk, he said, thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate it.

I’m sof and tired of doing podcasts. I’m literally done with them. I’m not doing anymore. Then he left. I don’t know what that’s about, and I’m losing my voice.

I gotta save my voice for the Sailor episode. I need to record it today for schedule, so I gotta wrap up. I can do the Sandler episode that’s going out Saturday. And that’s your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it to see tomorrow.

Callaroga, Shark Media, Matthew Valentine’s Day. Hi, I’m Jenny Mack with a very very busy Daily Comedy News. Trevor Noah and Spotify have a little thing. Remember at the Grammys, Trevor made a joke about the music industry and royalties and took a shot at Spotify, and I thought it was kind of curious that he did that. Well, Semaphore writes, six months after they did a deal, the relationship has already soured.

Noah’s team has discussed renegotiating. We’re altering his contract with Spotify, possibly having Trevor opting out of his minimum guarantee that’s the amount he’s paid to produce a certain number of podcasts. The issue Trevor wanted to bring on newsy figures as guests. Spotify prefer celebrity interviews. A spokesperson for Spotify push back against Semafore, saying we’re happy with the show.

We have no news or any changes to share. I’ve been doing this a long long time. This story wouldn’t get out there. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Something’s up and I was looking at it.

Trevor’s podcast Yesterday was down to number two forty seven overall. Let’s se where it is right now as I record on Tuesday morning. Holy cow, it is out of the top ranking on of all podcasts. Oooo. On February eleventh at one o’clock on the Apple Charts United States of America all podcasts, it was number two forty seven.

Right now at around eleven o’clock on Tuesday morning, it is not ranking at all. Now. Generally what happens is when you release a new episode, it spikes the charts a little bit. That’s part of the reason I release every day. Let’s see Trevor January twenty fifth, Forever first and five days ago, so he’s scheduled to put it on the fifteenth.

So if you look at the release cycle, we’re towards the end here. But being out of the top charts that is, it’s embarrassing. I’ll use the word embarrassing, very shocking for Trevor. Noah. Now, as I looked at it, I have been listening to some episodes but not others.

I particularly loved of the Kevin Hard episode. But last week they titled the episode Trevorn Friends Batts at the Grammys. Trevor, Ben Winston and Friends discussed the Grammys, and I just was like, Eh, I don’t know. I don’t care about the friends. I just want to hear Trevor.

John Stewart has indeed returned as host of the Daily Show. Let’s listen. My name is Jon Stuart. Now where was I. I’m excited to be back.

I’m very excited spending see you guys. Why am I back? You may be asking yourselves it’s a very reasonable question. Uh, I have committed a lot of crimes. From what I understand, talk show hosts or granted immunity, so it does doesn’t make a lot of sense, but take it up with the founders.

Later in the show, he anchored a bit that had the correspondence Ronny Chieng, DOESI Lydich, Michael Costa and d’lse Sloan reporting from a diner. Jordan Klepper did a desk bit Jordan is hosting the rest of the Week this week in John’s list of topics that they might talk about, when he said, maybe we’ll talk about China, maybe we’ll talk about AI. That apparently a shot at Apple. Those were two of the subjects that The New York Times has created friction over at the Problem. On Monday, John Stewart was on CBS Mornings and said, I very much wanted to have some kind of place to unload thoughts as we get into this election season, and I thought it was going to do it over at they call it Apple TV Plus and said they felt that they didn’t want me to say things that might get me in trouble.

I just thought, who better to comment on this election than someone who truly understands two aging men past their prime. NPR reviewed the show and saying John Stewart’s daily show, Red Turn, is so smooth, it’s like he never left Colbert had on John Oliver. Oliver is making the rounds. I don’t know what he’s promoting. I guess the new season of last Week.

Tonight, he made some cracks about Lionel Messi, which I’ll share with you because A they’re funny in B it allows me to promote our podcast, The Messy Effect. On The Messy Effect, we follow Liono Messi, but like not so much the soccer part the rest of it the showbiz anyway, Here’s John Oliver. Messi was in a commercial. Yeah, that was for non American citizens seeing Messi though is oh wow, this really wow, this is a big deal. Messi’s pretending he likes a drink for you.

Does he know how it is? And I enjoy the drinks? What was it for? I can’t remember the ultra Oh he doesn’t drink Michelot. There’s no way Lionel Messi drinks Michelope ultra.

I know we all saw him on the beach. We all saw take a swing at something. There is no way. I wish Mickey was here because I’d have him involved in this as well. Lionel Messi does not drink Michelope ultra fact.

It truly is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Adam Sandler will have a new comedy special. It’s directed by Josh Saftie, who directed Uncut Gems. No dat or details on that, but I mean a new Adam Sandler special. Can’t wait.

By the way, I wrote the script for Saturday’s upcoming episode where I only say nice things about Adam Sandler movies. I’m planning on doing that on Saturday. I wrote the script. I just have to voice it. Now.

Come fights Shannon Sharp, who his podcast has become the hotbed of comedians fighting with comedians. This is a lot of fun and this got covered by USA Today. Shannon Sharp may be looking for comedian Mike Epps. On Sunday’s episode of The Nightcap podcast, Sharp pointed to the camera and said to Epps that Apps had lied when he said Shannon Sharp reached out to him to appear on the Club Chase Shay podcast. Sharp said, now when I see you, I’m going to see if you’re really about that say my name again.

I got something for your expletive. USA Today says. During a recent stand up performance, Mike Apps joked that he’d been approached by Sharp to come on Club Schay Sheha and indicated that Sharp is gay and appeared ready to sexually assault comedian Kat Williams. During a January interview, what the quote Apps is saying? Shannon Sharp called me trying to do an interview.

No, Medea, I ain’t doing no interview. So you can sit across from me and look at my testicles when I’m sitting down. I thought he was going to attack cat. The show was called Shay Shay. The guy’s telling you put a wig on.

Tell me if that isn’t Medea’s sister, Sharp said, say a little chokes, get you a little laugh off, have fun, but just don’t lie say something when I didn’t. I’m to tell you what somebody told me one time. What his jokes to you is death to someone else. Apparently, in a now deleted post, Apps wrote, so many people talk crazy about you, but now you want to fight me. I dmd you to get on the show because you brought my name up when you were sitting there with Cat and you were trying to get him and talk crazy about me, but he didn’t.

You did look like Medea sitting there. You was looking zesty. I’m not saying you gay. You need to take those tight shirts off with the muscles. In a Twitter post on Monday, Sharp said he and EPP’s planned to meet up and discuss this at this weekend’s NBA All Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

Shannon tweeted Unk and Mike Apps have decided to have a man and man conversation in India at NBA All Star Weekend to discuss our differences. We both realized this situation could have been should have been handled differently. I apologize to family, friends, loved ones, and my fans. When he was recently on with Shannon Sharp. She has now joined Cat Williams tour see I Love all this fighting.

On Instagram, Monique says, I want to tell you about my twin brother, Cat Williams. Baby. Guess what could be joining my brother My twin brother Cat Williams on the Dark Matter tour. From News one, comedian David Lucas won’t apologize for tasteless jokes about George Floyd’s police murder, they report. During a performance at the Funny Bone in Manchester, Connecticut, David Lucas angered some audience members when he made an insensitive remark about the twenty twenty murder of George Floyd.

Before making the joke, Lucas had heckled a black audience member who shouted that he was a vulgar thing. During his routine. The two traded insults back and forth before the Floyd A related joke. I’m not going to repeat the joke. News One says.

Later on in a video, several black audience members could be seen walking out of the venue, visibly disgusted by Lucas’s joke. According to the report, instead of apologizing, Lucas made another offensive joke, noting how he was just warming up with his joke about Floyd. On Instagram, David Lucas has been seen promoting a few upcoming shows and a comedy special. He captioned a photo of himself holding a fish. The caption read getting canceled Ain’t that bad?

Meanwhile, I told you yesterday about Paul Curry. This from The Express to remind you. Paul Curry came under fire for reportedly screaming and a member of the audience who did not join a standing ovation when Curry pulled out a Palestinian flag. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they might investigate. Soho theater bosses have apologized.

Curry has now posted a pro Palestine poster on his Instagram with the caption I will not quietly nor politely sit and make house with the depravity of this killing machine. And here’s the unexpected twist. Express Right. Since news of the alleged incident the Soho Theater emerged, audience members at a previous show in Australia claimed Curry verbally abused that evicted them after they refused to drink an unknown liquid. The allegations say Curry claimed to try to force the audience to drink from a glass, which he said contained soy milk.

Found an article here from twenty sixteen in Adelaide Now Daniel Purvis and his female friend, who asked not to be identified, said Curry had tried to force a number of people to drink from a glass. Purvoset he tried to force the glass on my mouth, trying to get it through my hands. I found that to be quite shocking. Then he pored what was left over my head because I refused. I don’t know would drink from the glass.

This same article quotes Cassandra Toombs, operator of the venue, who said that she’d been told that Purvis and the friend had been disrupting the show. Tomb said they turned their chairs upside down, they were just killing the whole show, and Paul asked them to leave. That’s the version I heard. As for the current incident, the Soho Theater told the Express, We’re so sorry and saddened by an incident that took place at a venue, et cetera. We take this very seriously and are looking into detail of what happened as thoroughly, as sensitively and as quickly as we can.

Congratulations to keV Mudd, who has crowned the UK pun Champion of twenty twenty four at the Lester Comedy Festival.

Caloroga Shark Media. Well, the Chiefs beat my niners high. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. After the Super Bowl, Stephen Colbert was live and he made this terrible, horrible joke. He said, finally something good happened for Taylor Swift.

Wow, if Joe Coy said that, he’d be canceled. She’s going to be so mad. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift. Colbert also joked, have fun, Taylor, but please make sure you have a designated driver for your private jet.

John Stewart was the guest. Now The Daily Show returned last night, and as I put the show together on Monday, I was like, oh, yeah, February twelve, The Daily Show with John Stewart is back. Despite them doing Super Bowl ads, which I saw with John Stewart, it it didn’t register in my brain at all that that was last night and there wasn’t really a lot of buzz heading into Monday night on that. If I’m Comedy Central played the big card. Now I gotta be a little worried I’ll recap tomorrow.

Whatever Stuart was talking about last night. Anyway, the appearance on Colbert was pretty uneventful. On The Daily Show podcast, John Stewart said, if you want to be present in this world, you have to be present in this conversation. You have to be as relentless and tenacious as the counter narrative that’s being formed. So much of the information that we see now is weaponized, and he keeps taking exponential leaps.

It’s not just the election, it’s AI. It’s the way we’ve militarized our conflicts. I keep going. John John Stewart is now sixty one years old. He hosted The Daily Show from nineteen ninety nine to twenty fifteen.

The La Times wrote the world has changed, of course, around late night shows, and they point out that Tonight Show turns seventy this year. Until the adoption of the VCR, late night television was available only at night. I remember when I got my first VCR. I was so excited. I didn’t have to stay up to one thirty in the morning to watch Letterman.

It was awesome. Late night TV was for people who were happy to forego sleep, or couldn’t sleep, or had nowhere they had to be in the morning. You might not be ready for bed. After Johnny Carson finished, he’d come in from a club or a movie or whatever and turn on the set and there’d be Tom Snyder talking to Orson Wells or Chris Elliot living under the bleachers on Late Night with Letterman. The later the start time, the less the financial risk, and the more freedom to play.

Craig Ferguson’s still celebrated throughout the cards. Late Late Show was constitutionally at twelve thirty AM. Show would have worked at eleven thirty. And the people remember Taylor Thomlinson as a twelve thirty show. She showed up in a few Super Bowl ads.

I mean she made a Taylor joke. I guess it’s just I don’t know. I’m not ripping Taylor. I just think everybody going see her name is Taylor and she’s plowing. It’s lame.

Her new Netflix special is out today. It’s called Have It All, filmed at the Capitol One Hall Theater in Tyson’s, Virginia. I guess that in the Daily Show will be my TV action. Tonight, Colin Jost is going to host The White House Correspondents dinner, great choice. He will be great at that.

The White House Correspondence Association President Kelly O’Donnell said, Colin Jost knows how to make Saturday Night’s funny. His sharp insids perfectly meet this remarkable time of divided politics and a presidential campaign careening towards a rematch. The two most recent hosts were Roy Wood Junior and Trevor Noah. You know, Jost would be a good daily show host. He’s got the writing chops.

You know, Hey, Comedy Central, write that one down, right, because after Lauren does the fifty, that’s going to be the time to walk away from messing out. Write that one down, Colin, you write that one down too. That’s a good gig for you. It’s in New York. You don’t have to move.

Jost is forty one. He could do it for ten years. That’s the move, Colin Jost. Why didn’t we think of that earlier? Colin Joss sticks around till Lauren’s fiftieth, So that’s that’ll be June of twenty five, and then host the Daily Show.

They just have to muddle through for another year and a half.

Speaking of Saturday Night Live, you know who’s hosting this week Shane Gillis.

We’re gonna be talking about that all week. America Magazine gets it their headline, comedian Shane Gillis doesn’t make a good first impression, but it’s worth sticking around. Great stuff by America Magazine. They have watched Shane and they get what he’s doing, and they write, Shane Gillis does not make a good first impression. He looks and sounds like every online scolds, worst nightmare and out of shape white millennial mail, casually throwing around offensive words, and most people have not outside of a middle school playground since nineteen eighty seven.

And yet there’s something more there. While it might be difficult to stick around for, that’s something more than shang Gilis has to say. I would advise you to do so. They right. It could be said that Gillis is not for everyone, but in a sense, he actually is.

Like all great comedians, Shane Gillis is something important to say, the problem is that you don’t immediately realize he has something substantive to say because you’re also squirming so much. Gillis’s comedy is a hybrid of cringe humor and bro culture. However, both wind up being subordinated to the fiercely intelligent observational skills that ultimately steer his comedic course is on stage. Persona embodies the millennial bro. This is a broad categorization for young white males, usually distinguished by their enjoyment of domestic beer and say bud light and televised sports, being carelessly misogynistic and lacking intellectual curiosity.

Watching Gillis’s stand up back, it appears this VI’s from another time, and by that I mean it’s as though he was transported from the nineteen eighties to the present day somehow bypassing the advent and subsequent entrenchment of language within mainstream cultural discourse. But if you’re only paying attention to the cosmetics of the act, the bostering, and the rhetoric, you will miss the incredibly intelligent man and is incredibly astute commentary on contemporary society. Watching a Gillis show requires some work. He doesn’t add anything to you, continually makes you evaluate exactly what he’s doing up there in question whether or not you should be laughing. Should be a fun week.

TMZ caught up with Joe Ann You. Joanne is the executive director of the Asian American Foundation. She tells TMZ that Shane gillis hosting SNL’s bad timing, considering the Asian community has been devastated by a wave of hate that started during the COVID nineteen pandemic, but adds, if Shane’s serious about making amends, he should cut a check to the organization’s Hope against Hate campaign and join their food tours for a real Asian cuisine experience. She’s planning to watch, but not for Shane, but for what she calls the Bow and Yang Variety Hour at the Super Bowl. Shane was invited up by Zach Bryan.

Whiskey Riff writes, the one and only Shane Gillis bumbled his way on stage and somehow looked like he was having a blast and was completely uncomfortable at the same time, but that didn’t stop him from grabbing the mic. Fun What do you think this one’s about? Matt Riich’s show in Memphis has been postponed due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict. His show for Friday has been moved to June twelfth. Does that mean he got a better paying gig?

What’s going on there? Master Brownie’s got a new album. It’s called The Birds and the Bees. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to catch up on Mark Maron’s wonderful interview with John Oliver. I loved the way John made fun of Mark here.

I had to rip out a lot of f bombs here. But this is a lot of fun. It’s all this sort of they want to be worked up. It’s all this general grievances, just this broad grievance ideology. And this guy seems mad.

You’re completely about grievance. They’ll be a hype pipe of grievance. No, you’ll the shining angry city on a hill. I think that I am a completely objective narrator American comedy A little quiet off the super Bowl Shortle has three things that I want to talk about today. The first, Eric Idol saying he has no money on social media.

Eric, who’s eighty, said, I don’t know why people always assume we’re loaded. Python is a disaster. Spamalot made money twenty years ago. I have to work for my living. Not easy at this age.

All right, maybe he didn’t make money on the TV show. You should have made some money on those movies. No, and spamalat you should have made some money. I guess not. Eric says, I think the series problem or the Spotify’s on the youtubes copyright ain’t worth jack stuff anymore.

We own everything we ever made in Python, and I never dreamed at this age the income streams would tail off so disastrously. But I guess if you put a Gilliam child in as your manager, you shouldn’t be surprised. One Gillium is bad enough. Two can take out any company. Ouch.

I guess we won’t be seeing a Python reunion anytime soon. One fan suggested a comeback, Idol said no thanks, I’m doing no more Python. I gave already ungrateful bastards. Wow. Another suggested a Netflix documentary, and he said, f Netflix and f documentaries wow.

Idle pointed out he hasn’t seen John Clees for said years. One fan said that makes me sad. Idle responded, why makes me happy? I still love and I’m proud of what we did as Python. It was a very unique group.

Can’t be very unique, Eric, I think of us as an ex Liverpool team. We played together well way back in the day, but it was never very supportive of people’s feelings and emotions, not brothers colleagues. Apparently the Gilliam child is Holly Gilliam, who took over the Python brand in twenty fourteen and co produced that year’s reunion show. I worked with the guys. Was it their fortieth anniversary?

We did a pop up station for I don’t know if we had merged yet Serious or Series XM, but that makes sense. Sixty nine and forties two thousand and nine, Yeah, all right, for Serius XM. That’s probably when that was give or take. So in the past, John Clees was the voice of God in Spam a lot on the show toward the UK in twenty eleven. Then Idle said I fired John Clees, surgically removed him.

It wasn’t me, and he’s had millions of dollars from me. He charges people of fortune fusing his voice. He’s always been in financial crisis. In response to that, Cleise wrote, I see Yoko Idols been moaning again about the royalties he had to pay the other Pythons for spam a loot. Apparently he paid me millions actual rough figures.

Last time we checked, Yoko Idol thirteen million dollars Michael Palin one point one million, the others just under a million each, So back to the beginning, Eric wyould assume you’re loaded? Is if you got thirteen million dollars from spam A lot. Yeah. Lily Idol is Eric’s daughter, and she jumped on Twitter and said, I’m so proud of my dad for finally starting to share the truth. He’s always set up to bullies and narcissists and absolutely deserves reassurance and validation for doing so.

Also from chort Ole, the Wonderful Richard Ayoada will narrate the animated version of Bill Bryson’s popular science book A Short History of Nearly Everything That’s Fun. This next one not fun. Comedian Paul Curry has been accused of inciting anti Semitic chants against audience members during his comedy show at London Soho Theater. Apparently, Curry took out a Palestinian flag during his show. At the end of the show, the comic, according to Turtle Quote, orchestrated his own standing of ation.

At the end, Curry spotted one man or remain in a seat and asked him why didn’t stand? Didn’t you enjoy my show? The man is believed to be Israeli and said, enjoyed your show until you brought out the Palestinian flag. According to Short, let it provoke Curry to order him out of the theater. Audience members are saying and escalated into a screaming match, with Curry shouting leaf my effing show, now, get out now, adding to the intrigue.

Soho Theater is built on the Dean Street site where the West End Great Synagogue used to stand, and it still displays a miss rock, the plaque traditionally placed on the east wall of Jewish building, commemorating that history. Tina Fey was on Bowen Yang’s podcast and told Bowen authenticity is dangerous and expensive. Fay warn bow and bow and Yang giving his real opinions about movies on this podcast. I regret to inform you that you’re too famous. Now, sir, you have a problem with Saltburn.

Keep it to yourself, because what are you going to do when Emerald Fennel calls you about our next project. We play Kerry Mulligan’s coworker in the bridal section of Herod’s and then act three it takes a sexually violent turn and you have to pretend to be surprised by that turn. You hang out with Arianna and SpongeBob. Now that’s your life, and that is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Man, what a game, huh? And that halftime show wow? And that thing Taylor did And now I tape this in advance. I watched the super Bowl yesterday.

We’ll talk about the super Bowl tomorrow. Hello. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. This is the week where Shane Gillis will host Saturday Night Live, and it is being well discussed even in the UK. The Independent, under the headline SNL hosts Shane Gillis maybe offensive, but he isn’t the devil.

They’re right. After his initial firing by SNL, Shane Gillis was championed by many on the American right as a victim of cancel culture. Some have gone further imposing political beliefs onto Gillis, such as support of Donald Trump that he’s never personally espoused. In twenty nineteen, Gillis clarified he had not voted for Trump, and he says, as soon as they decide you’re a bad guy, you’re just all right now or something. The Independent Rights watch Gillis a show, and you can’t deny his materials.

Liable to a fen. He doesn’t shy away from certain slurs and mixed crash jokes about sensetive topics. But in the world of comedy this is hardly disqualifying from Bill Bird or Frankie Boyle. There are plenty of precedents, liberal or left wing or centrist comedians who are more than willing to throw around our offensive words or ideas for the sake of a laugh at a provoke a reaction. Louis c.

K the now disgraced to stand up whose creative influence is unmissible in Gillis’s style, was one’s a dept at this taking an objectional or distasteful thought and carrying on stage too. It’s natural extreme. You may recall a pre canceled Louis c. K as being compared to George Carlin the independent rights. To some extent, The question comes down to intent, to whether or not the comedy is hateful or simply problematic.

Look, for instance, at Gillis’s routine about down syndrome. There are things in there to object to it. Generalizations, patronizations, all done with gleeful awareness of the taboo, but within the same material they’re also affectionate and seemingly well intentioned. To observational jokes about a family member with down syndrome. To brand it outright hate speech would take a black and white, deeply unpragmatic view of the world.

Comedy can be hardful without being hateful, and some jokes are more harmful than others. Expect some sparks to fly during the opening monologue, but this is more likely to be a bearing of a hatchet than a resumption of grievances. At the end of the day. Shane Gillis has always seemed less interested in his scoring political points than it’s simply going for the laugh at whatever cost. Megan Kelly and I’m just gonna go first.

This is really stupid. She took a shot at Shane Gillis and other celebrities because they bend the need of bud Light. He went from doing slurs that the left finds upsetting to issuing one out of his mouth the right finds upsetting, which is bud Light. Really, really, really, I mean just really, you’re mad that Shane Gillis is selling bud Light. I’ll tell you right now, if bud Light wants to sponsor the show for ten years, write the check.

Megan said, I’m actually not sure what he’s doing either, because not only is he going on SNL but he’s partnering with bud Light, which is basically a slur in Republican circles on I’ll insult my friend Mike and Cleveland. Hey, Mike, I bet you drink bud Light. Who oh, maybe I can get canceled. I bet Taylor Swift drinks bud Light. Bring it swifty, so it’s called Daily Comedy News.

Megan Kelly said, well, you cope buy bud Light because Shane Gillis got paid a bunch of money to go speak for them. Does that help your life? Oh? My, find something to talk about, Megan, Actually, don’t keep doing this because this is great content for me. Media in Toto asked, is the left trying to recancel Shane Gillis on SNL?

Right? So, Shane, the right hates you because bud Light, and now the left hates you too. Everyone hates Shane Gillis. He has no fans whatsoever. I don’t know why he’s hosting SNL because both the left and the right hate him.

I guess centrists loves Shane Gillis. Medium Toto Rights take NBC News the far left outlet publish an essay entitled with Shane Gillis return snl Asians ass when they’ll stop being the punchline? It covered that, I think last Friday Toto Rights. Is there anything new here? Of course not.

Does Gillis make it a habit of specifically targeting Asian people, of course not. Does he spend endless hours in front of a podcast Mike squeezing funny observations from every source possible? Of course? Do those Asian riffs represent his best work? Of course not nothing.

He threw some shade and wrote, Howard Stern has said far, far worse than his days, and he’s never been canceled. Well, the media has been complicent in the establishment Howard myth of the last ten years. Howard is now. Howard has laid groundwork that his obituary would be that he was the great interviewer. And I haven’t enjoyed late period Howard, loved early period Howard.

And there are things that I listened to or I watched on his TV show that have been just washed from the internet. But this idea that Howard Stern’s career was he interviewed people. Come on, no, no, no, no, wa’tch you google Howard Stern blackface website them, writes Shane Gillis hosting Saturday Night Live as a slap in the face to queer viewers, even as the show court’s LGBTQ plus fans. It platforms comics like Gillis and Dave Chappelle. They’re write in the comedy world.

It was a banner week for queer phobia, not that it’s ever gone out of style. Al Dave Chappelle, who treats anti transmockery like a holy crusade, won his fifth Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in six years.

Meanwhile, Shane Gillis wrote America’s hard right word pivot straight into a…

I’ll chime in, except we just learned that the right hates him because he promotes bud Light them rights. If Gillis’s name means less than zero to you, congratulations on your blissful life, you offline legend went for a run, Humble Bragg, I’m so out of shape, Oh my goodness. You can go from marathon ready ish to completely out of shape in let’s say it’s just in three months, Oh my goodness. On the run. I listened to Mark Maren’s fantastic interview with John Oliver.

So much fun and it went so quickly. I thought it was interesting. At the beginning in the monologue segment, Maren is self aware. I had brought up recently that sometimes Maren and younger comedians kind of don’t connect. Maybe Maren listens to me, because he said sometimes I could be a little pokey and a little mild chap busting going on, some slight bullying occasionally.

In the interview, John Oliver talked about not getting the Daily Show, and I’m going to play the actual clip or comment dafter here’s John. I didn’t state the Daily Show because John was still there and no, but even if you were set up to be the next guy, did that factor into your decision not to follow up on that the next guy for to host their show to Daily Show to the Daily Show? They didn’t. I think it was clear when we would do because my contract expired at the end of the year that I hosted for John over that summer, and I think it became clear at the end of that they didn’t really care about me, oh really, And because I think our idea for me to stay this is our ideas being just John and I was that I would do the summers from now on and then so he could take he could take the summers off, which he wanted a break. I think they could have had him for longer if they’d allowed that, but they were not interested in that at all.

So then it becomes clear, Oh, then you really don’t care, right, which is fine, but it is now painfully obvious. So I should probably go somewhere okay, And then yeah, talking to various commercial outlets, there was just an innate instinct of I don’t I could do this. I don’t think it’ll go great. Yeah, there might be a way that I can find myself to doing the things that I used to love let theman doing when he’s just criticizing his parent company. But that was but I don’t have the let no, I just like I always love that instinct with him, but I had no standing with hers to do that.

So a much easier move that the luxury move to me, was to go to HBO, where there is no corporate commercial pressure from advertisers, so you truly can say what you want, right. So they didn’t want John Oliver. That’s a swing and a miss. I always wondered did Stuart not tell anyone that he was leaving soon, because wouldn’t you want to hold on to John Oliver? But this kind of clears up that Oliver didn’t feel like they wanted him.

They did a good job that summer, and apparently HBO agrees. Tom Poppa hosted the poll Star Awards didn’t even know these were going on. Taylor Swift won major Tour of the Year, and that is an understatement well deserved. And if you want to keep up on Taylor Swift, follow the podcast Taylor Swift Today. I’m sure they’re talking about whatever happened at the Super Bowl.

Taylor was not in attendance because she was playing to Kyo, but Dave Chappelle stop by he won Comedy Tour of the Year. Dave said, I used to take this stuff for granted, but this last tour was hard as if. I want to thank everyone at Live Nation, everyone on that team, everyone at Netflix. That was a real special tour. It was a hard one, but man, this stuff is great.

The New York Times went to see Amy Poehler and Tina Fay. They’re doing some stand up. Apparently Tina Fey asked, are there any dads in the crowd who had either Tina or Amy As Hall passes two decades ago, Many hands shut up. The Times writes, if the phrase mom jeans makes you instantly crack up, you’ll love this show. So this is really emotionally confusing to me, because I think they’re targeting people who are exactly my age, and I’d like to think I’m slightly cooler than this.

I’m so confused. Faye is all sharp edges and slashing wit, her deadpan unshakeable, keeping the audience and her partner at a distance. Amy Poehler is more vulnerable, even a bit fragile. Discussing kids, trauma raging, She jokes, my memories like a cat, it will not come when called. She of course told it better, because that is obviously a hilarious joke.

Some Times writes, the show itself is to throw everything at the wall, mess of visually in different collection of parts, some that probably would have been cutter owned by a ruthless director. Ouch. There were sex jokes and mom jokes. Jokes A written the day of the show about President Biden making an appearance on the Upper West Side that joke again and I don’t know who told it, and obviously told much better than this. The traffic has in this bad since the opening scene of Fame.

Yeah, there’s an okay Donald Trump joke that receives a big response and a strong OCD punch line that doesn’t. There were jokes that only New Yorkers were get. I’m not sure who told this one. I took the four train and I didn’t even have a doctor’s appointment. Yeah, New Yorkers would get that joke.

That’s not a bad New York joke. Tina Fay said, this really feels just like S and L, except they were in bed by ten and I don’t have to go to a weird Tuesday night dinner with Warren Michaels and Rudy Giuliani. That’s funny. Donnel Rawlings will have a new special produced by Chappelle’s Home Team Production Banner. This was recorded last fall at the New York Comedy Festival at the hard Rock.

It is titled Chappelle’s Home Team Donnell Rawlings A New Day. The log line reads, It’s a new day and Donnell Rawlings is feeling good, dressed in a blue suit, red sox, and lotion ankles, easier to discuss, toxic relationships, traveling New Zealand, aging, co parting, and much more. Chappelle told Variety, I’ve been doing this long time. Comedians like Donnell are not only friends but have inspired my own career. Anyone in the comedy community who knows these names and knows their time to shine is long overdue.

I’m proud to be part of this moment A new day Netflix, February twenty seventh. Fox is hot on Animal Control. That’s the Joel McHale sitcom that you probably watched two episodes of and forgot it existed. It’s back for its second season on March sixth. They’ve already renewed it for a third season.

Animal Control had Fox’s most stream debut in network history and the most streamed comedy episode ever in the network’s history. Does that include the Simpson Nice lineup at the Comedy Seller at the Rio tonight for still in Town after the Super Bowl Candle Awards, Sophie Buttle, who was Great, Marshall Warfield, Josh Adam Myers, and Mark Cohen seven to nine thirty at the Comedy Cellar. And that is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow,

Caloroga Shark Media. Joe Niners. I’m Johnny mag with your Daily Comedy News. If you missed yesterday, I did the super Bowl preview in the Saturday episode, you’ll find that in the feed. Today’s more of a normal episode, Jimmy Fallon, and he might get canceled by Taylor Swift.

Imagine if Joe Coy said this joke? Hey, did you know that Trump’s legal team has been prepping for months?

Also, they’re making an album called The Tortured Lawyer’s Department.

Taylor’s not going to like that, vicious? How dare you make fun of Taylor? By the way, for all things Taylor Swift, listen to the Taylor Swift Today podcast. I’m sure they’ll be pretty interesting tomorrow. Stephen Colbert said, Trump’s lawyers have pointed out that the Fourteenth Amendment says people have engaged in an insurrection cannot hold office.

It doesn’t say they can’t run for office. But the point of running for office is to hold office. Unless you’re Nikki Haley, We’re not sure what her point is. Jimmy Fallon said, did you know that the recent hearing was led by Chief Justice John Roberts Also he’s the only chief that’s not worried about the forty nine ers. Yesked, all right, keep it fair, Johnny Macker.

I’ve been a lot of talk about President Biden’s memory lately. Jimmy found said, it’s pretty embarrassing for Biden, but on the bright side, you’ll forget about it. Five minutes later, as predicted, the Joe Rogan Podcast went straight to number one now that it’s back available everywhere, Joe Rogan tweeted, because that’s what we do on Twitter, nobody calls that Exelon podcast is now officially back on Apple. We should be back on YouTube with full episodes of the coming weeks. Shout out to Spotify for absolutely being the coolest and smartest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of being in partnership with.

I’m very excited the podcast will now have a much broader distribution. Curby Your Enthusiasm is on tonight after the Super Bowl. You’ll probably watch the Big Game, won’t you. The Holler Reporter caught up with executive producer Jeff Schaeffer. Is this the final season?

He says, even though every season has been the final season, it’s the final season. Although I don’t think Larry’s done with having spirited discourses with troublemakers on the West Side of Los Angeles, so you never know. But he adds, when you watch the end, it’ll make sense that this is the end. Larry David said, people think I’m lying. I’m not a liar.

Okay, yeah, fifteen years ago I said it was the last season. That’s what I say when I don’t think I’m coming back with another one. But this is it. Schaeffer said they almost killed Larry off Curb in the season eleven finale, but then changed their minds so they could return for this season twelve. Shaefer says, we didn’t start writing the season with the intent that was going to be the last one.

It wasn’t like, all right, what’s our final season going to be? We were just writing a story. As the story evolved, it made sense that this was the series finale, But it came from an evolution of story, not from any master planet. This was going to be the last season, but there are unexpected benefits. Now Larry has time to pursue his passion projects like making erotic dioram as of Old Testament scenes, breeding Doberman’s and refurbishing turn to the century popcorn makers to their previous glory.

You can finally do what he wants. The Holly reporter said, did you just come up with that on the spot? Jeff said two with him. Yeah, Jeff says. Finalees are always a tricky thing because it’s a breakup.

You’ve had this relationship for twenty years with some people, and a twenty year relationship with your fans, and all of a sudden you’re leaving them. A finale always weird energy to it. I think what I’ve learned is the best finales are really funny episodes of the show, not this other thing that’s not the show. So that was something we kept in our heads. Someone who’s not a fan of Larry David will Wheaton.

Will Wheaton did not appreciate the Elmo thing. We’ll post that on Facebook. What a stupid, self centered tone deaf a hole. And I don’t want to make fun of this next sentiment. No, Will sheared All the time.

When I was growing up, my dad would grab me by the shoulders and shake me while he screamed in my face. He was always out of control, always at a furious rage, and always terrifying. I’m a fifty one year old man, and my heart is pounding right now. We’re calling how I felt when I was a little boy who loved Grover the way today’s kids love Elmo. You couldn’t stand that a puppet brought people together in a meaningful way that you can’t You couldn’t stand that your appearance on national television and promote your wildly successful series was delayed for a few seconds while the adults talked about mental health and crappy idiot Larry David couldn’t leave it alone for some reason.

He had to indirectly tell everyone who opened their hearts to a muppet that they were stupid and they thought it was a good joke to physically attack and choke this character who was beloved by children and adults alike. You know what that tells impressional young people about sharing their feelings. You know who was watching the Today Show with their parents, kids who also watched Sesame Street. Elmo was an avatar for children all over the world. Children who are too small to understand Elmo is a puppet will know that a man attacks someone they love for no reason that will frighten and confuse them.

Elmo and the Muppets teach and model to children all over the world. A kindness and empathy aren’t weak or stupid or any of things people like Larry David or my dad thinks they are. Larry David strikes me as a person who mocks and belittle’s people who are vulnerable and sensitive and enjoys being cruel because he feels untouchable. Maybe I’m wrong. That’s who I see whenever I can’t find the remote and he’s on my television.

Seems like there’s a lot going on there. Dakota Johnson, who’s the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Mmm, she’s in The Office series finale and told Seth Myers that was honestly the worst time of my life. Boy, life is hard. Imagine that being on the Office finale. They were like, do you want to be in the series finale?

And I was like, of course, thinking I show up for like half a day. I was there for two weeks and I’m barely in the fings show. Oh man, Imagine being on the set of the Office for two weeks and that was the worst time of your life. Life is hard. I feel so bad, Dakota, this nextport’s kind of interesting.

I wonder what’s going on here. I hadn’t heard this before. She said, there were weird dynamics that have been going on for the last ten years. Some people didn’t speak to each other. That’s interesting, and I’m coming in like so excited to be here.

No one wanted to talk to me. No one gave an f I was like in the background of all these scenes faxing things. That does sound like the hardest part of anyone’s life. Imagine being on the set of the Office and like having to pretend to fax things. Life is horrid.

Brian Cranston was on the Office Ladies podcast. He asked them, let’s say there’s not a reboot series, but what if there was a movie something to see where we could see where these people are? We wondered at the end, where did they go? What became of them? Jenni Fisher said she’d sign up as long as Greg Daniels is involved, because then I would trust it, you know, as long as Greg is right again and he’s in charge of it, I would say yes.

Angela Kinsey said I would do it for my kids because I would think that it’s fun. I’ll chime in. You’ll both do it. It’s a payday. Don’t act like you’re not gonna do it.

Hey, Angela, do you want to be in the office. No, I don’t want to be in the office. I’m working so much I’m not interested. Get out of here. The movie is probably a better idea than a reboot series, because if you do a reboot series, how does it work?

Is Pam in it? If Pam is in it, well, where’s Jim? I thought they moved to Texas? Didn’t they move to Texas? Are they still together?

Did Texas not work out? Are Pam and Jim still married? But Pam went back to sales at dunder Mifflin And Jim, is you know, doing something else? Because Krazinsky’s not going to do it? And are we going to bring in like the season nine characters, I forget their names PLoP And if there was fake Jim and fake d White, are they going to do it?

Like? I just think it’s a mess. I don’t think you can bring this show back. Did Kevin quit the bar and go back to dunder Mifflin, Like, how does this even work? But don’t act like you’re not gonna do it.

You’re gonna do it. Come on. Tina Fey was on bow and Yang and Matt Rogers podcast Las Culturistas. She was shocked to learn that some Saturday Night Live staffers bring their dogs to work. Bow and Yang told Tina, you’d like to be a pet parent, but doesn’t have enough time due to the demanding production schedule at SNL.

Because no one brings their dogs to SNL, Yang said, oh, people bring their dogs to SNL. Fay, what, Bowen, there’s a couple of people, But it’s fine, Tina. They stay in the dressing room, Bowen. They stay in the dressing room where sometimes they’ll bring them out. It’s okay, Yang tells Fay.

It’s the change in the workplace culture. It’s a different world now. Maybe Shane Gillis will bring his dog. Weird one from the Daily Mail they tell us Robin Williams was a regular visitor to Billy Connolly’s house, and Billy, who’s eighty one, told the Mail I had a stuffed Scottish wildcat at the fireplace in my house to frighten the person who sat down by the fire. Robin Williams would lift the cat and he would become the cat.

He was talking in a Scottish accent and being a wildcat, really getting in a character. Somebody would come in, like the guy who had the stretch of the river that he rents out to fishermen. The guy goes, what’s that? And Robin became the wildcat and made the noise that cats make. The guy nearly crabbed himself.

It was an unbelievable moment in life, watching a genius become a wild animal. It was wonderful. So I’m not following. There’s a stuff cat. You walk in, you go, what’s that?

Oh, yeah, it’s a cat, and then Robin Williams picks it up and starts acting like a cat. And that’s scary, is it? Because you don’t recognize Robin Williams and you just think this is crazy. Man, I don’t know what’s going on there. ABC wrote about the decline of Late Night.

I thought this was stunning. During the twenty fourteen to fifteen season, the Daily Show, Fallon, Kimmel and Letterman combined for an average ten point five million viewers. The same four shows Colbert are now in place of Letterman, and I’ll add the Daily Show as Rudderless have four point eight million viewers again from ten to five to four eight in nine years. WOW ABC says the shows took in eight hundred and fifty nine million dollars in ad revenue in twenty fifteen through November twenty twenty three. The tally for that year was two hundred and fifty nine million.

I doubt they had a six hundred million dollar December. John Stewart had more than one point three million viewers In his last season. Trevor Noah was down to you want to guess how many guests he low wrong? Three hundred and seventy two thousand, one point three million to three seventy two in twenty twenty two. WOW.

During Stewart’s last full year in twenty fourteen, the daily show earned an estimated one hundred and twenty nine million dollars in advertising revenue. Last year, the rudderless show with no real host was down to nineteen million dollars through November. I doubt they made one hundred and ten million in December. WOW and Unture Comedy news for Today, Go Niners See Tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News super Bowl preview edition at the NFL Honors Awards, Mack Packer Keegan Michael Key was your host, and boy, I hope he doesn’t get canceled for making these vicious Taylor Swift jokes. Will we keep cutting to an influential blonde superstar? M you bet we will? Roger Dedell, Yeah, right, though, imagine if Joe Coy said that Taylor would be so mad.

Here’s some more. Of course, we’re going to talk about Travis and Taylor. I think I think they’re Yes, yes, give it up with Travis and Taylor. Okay, Yes, I think they’re both great and I’m happy for them. Uh but you know, Travis Kelcey isn’t the first NFL player to have a relationship with a pop star.

There’s Russ and Sierra. Yeah, there was Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson and of course Peyton Manning and Brad Paisley. So I can’t forget those guys. My understanding is that Taylor Swift is in Tokyo right now. The only people farther from the Super Bowl are the Carolina Panthers.

I’m sorry, it’s now there. There has never been a season like this, everybody. I mean, who’d have thought we’d see a year when Taylor Swift went to more playoff games than Bill Belichick. Bert Krascher was on Jason and Travis Kelsey’s famous podcast New Heights, and Bert said their podcast is better than my podcast. They’re not supposed to be broadcasters.

They’re supposed to be meatheads. They’re cleaning up over there is Bert Krascher is supposed to be a broadcaster, arguably even a meathead. Bert was asked about Jason Kelcey appearing shirtless at games. Bert Kreischer himself has been known to be shirtless. Bert was asked what he would do if he went to a game in Buffalo, and he said, I’m wearing a Gabe Davis jersey and I’m going through a table.

Fire on it. I’m going through a table. He even added he’d do a shirtless too, presumably going through the table. You can’t wear a jersey and be shirtless at the same time. I mean, I guess you could wear the jersey as a hat.

Get back to a chun. Bert was asked about Taylor Swift and said the relationship with Travis is good for the United States of America. Taylor is everything that a bondies this country. She’s ours. I love Taylor Swift man.

I’ve got two little girls, and Taylor Swift was on play NonStop. KC dot Com caught up with Travis Kelsey himself what might he do after football, and he said, I’m comedy all the way. I don’t know if I’m anything else. I like to have a run time and make people laugh. I’ll dabble into everything just to see if I have fun doing it.

Earlier this month, he says he has no reason to stop playing football. I know there are definitely Hollywood talks out there, but I’ve been focused on football throughout the season, so I’ll probably have some of the meetings when it’s all said and done. She knows. Dot Com recapped the various Super Bowl ads. I’ll focus on the comedy ones here.

David Schwimmer is in one with Victoria Beckham, Nick Offerman, and Aubrey Plaza, Will Schilfer Mountain Dew. Tina Fey is out there for booking dot Com. She says, with so many choices on booking dot com, there are so many Tina Phays I could be so I hired Body Doubles to help me out. One of the Tina Phays is co star Gene Kurkowski, another Glenn close H. Jason Sidakis is in a commercial with Lionel Messi.

By the way, to follow everything about Linel Messi, follow the Messy Effect podcast where you get your shows. They’re shilling for Ultra Michelobe. We see Messi dribbling a ball with others on a beach while Sadekas just watches and he says, I’m gonna get out there. A second later, after seeing how good Messi is with the ball, he goes, naw, I’m not gonna get out there. Rob Riggle chiefs fan.

He’s shilling for Miller Light and says Miller Light isn’t running a big game ad this year, They’re running one thousand literally, so while most big game ads give you giant explosions in talking animals, Miller Lites big game ads give you what you really want, great tasting, less filling beer. Eric Andre has got a spot. You’ve probably seen this one already. He is shilling for Drumsticks ice cream and he takes on the TSA who says I’m going to need to confiscate one of these. Kate McKinnon references Pete Davidson in her ad.

She’s shilling for a Mayo. She’s with Mayo Cat. The cat becomes an overnight sensation. Mayo walks the red carpet with none other than Pete Davidson before Kate McKinnon reads if They’re Split on the cover of a magazine and says he lasted longer than most. Ken Jung is doing an ad for Popeyes.

Ken stars as a man who cryogenically froze himself fifty two years ago, waiting for the best ever wing to be created. They’re promoting their new wing offerings including honey barbecue, roasted garlic, parmechan signature, hot Ghost Pepper, and sweet and Spicy. Ken said he ate all of them. He told today, I happily ate the chicken that you see me eat. When you’re filming anything of high quality, you do it over and over again, and I happily ate the chicken.

It was not a problem. I could say that very very confidently. Ken ads Coincidentally, there was supposed to be a dood old dog in the campaign, so I asked if I could use my own Golden Doodle mocha, and they said yes. My wife and I had so much fun just spending time with our dog. You know, this is her debut.

Popeyes really captured my sense of humor in my own brand of comedy, and I think that I totally captured what they were trying to do with this campaign. It was definitely a really amazing and authentic collaboration. Not too long ago, I was a doctor. Then he tells this tale. It was not uncommon for me to go to Popeyes after a long shift being on call, let’s say a thirty six hour shift.

When I was in medical residency. There was a Popeyes on my way home. When I came back a couple of years ago to do commencement it Tulane. My only request was to have a Popeye spicy chicken sandwich. It was one of those things in my life that was very full circle for me.

I might actually believe that I did radio row with Jeff Foxworthy at the Super Bowl and I asked Jeff if he could get anything, And I remember our exchange. He goes, is there is subway nearby? There was, what do you want, Jeff? I whatever, sandwich. He wanted, I don’t remember, Jeff, you can have two sandwiches.

Fox Worthy is awesome. As for that Kate McKinnon’s bought, Pete Davidson told ET online he doesn’t mind being the butt of the joke. Pete says, I love Kate. We have a lot of fun together, so getting the chance to work with her again was awesome. As for how he feels about his love life being public, Pete said, I’m actually a very private person.

I’m usually at home watching movies on VHS. They asked Pete Davidson about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. He said both are incredibly smart, kind and talented. I’m not sure they’re looking for any advice from me. Pete is actually supporting the Hellman’s Super Bowl ad, which is make Taste, not Waste.

They’re encouraging people not to waste usable food. This is one of my pet Pee’s isn’t the right thing, but I see so much food waste out there at restaurants, candidly at the nursing home where my mom has been. Just food comes and it goes and nobody eats it. Pete said, I think it’s a really important issue. In our country that needs to be addressed.

During this part, I learned that the Big Game is the second most wasteful food day in the US, which is crazy to me. How can you have all this perfectly good food and just throw it out. I’m a big leftovers guy, and using Alman’s commediently is the perfect way to repurpose my leftovers, which I have a lot of since I’m often on the go. But yeah, so much food goes to waste. Man, it’s a shame.

Martin Lawrence is doing a Super Bowl commercial. He has teamed up with Shannon Sharp, who’s been in the comedy news a lot lately. This is for Oikos, whatever that is. I guess that’s why they’re advertising. In the commercial, the two come together for a game of golf, which quickly becomes a display of strength.

Martin Lawrence says, Shannon’s very quiet and if you talked up between takes so communicate with you and everything. But when it’s time to shoot, he’s very focused and he goes into his work. That’s the good thing about Shannon, because I’m a lot like that as well. I don’t talk too much before I start my acting or whatever. I’m doing.

But he’s a lot of fun and has a lot of knowledge. Eric Andre in that ad I mentioned earlier for drum sticks, he says he still has imposter syndrome. As for his fame, I’m still surprised by it. My brain doesn’t make sense, and I have imposter syndrome, so I never feel like I belong anywhere. I’m like, can I have these sunships?

Is that okay? Can I take these home? Is he nervous about his Super Bowl lad He said, I’m nervous every day. I hyperventilate my way through life. It’s a crushing, oppressive anxiety in my brain that I carry around with me twenty four to seven.

It’s a cage. My mind is in a cage, and I’m the only prisoner in solitary confinement. Anyway, eat a drumstick. Carrot Top was making the radio Row rounds. I did Radio Row maybe four times.

Oh what a nightmare. I hated it. Not today, but I’ve told in the past. I’ll tell it again. I had a couple adventures with Jamie Fox that were just nightmares, having little to do with Jamie, not too much anyway, but oh my goodness, anyway, Scott Thompson, you know him as Carrot Top.

The New York Times asked him about the effect of the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Carrotop’s been a headliner at the Luxer for eighteen years. Good gig man, Carrottop said, I think this is the biggest event we’ve ever had. How big Carrot Top was wearing a baseball cap with a sticker that said need tickets. Yep, even carrat Top can’t get tickets for the game, he told The Times.

Everyone says you’re carrot Top, you own this town, but I really can’t get one, all right. Non super Bowl topic, Matthew Brisord is taping his special today at the Little Field in Brooklyn. Matthew is fantastic big fan. He describes as a disgraced financial analyst forced into stand up comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and a Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics.

He always manages to bring up and is fully aware of how douchey he looks. He’s a good looking guy. He’s got a joke about he looks like the uh frat douchebag in like every eighties college sex movie. It’s a great joke that I just ruined. Not your comedy needs for today.

I’ll be here tomorrow, but regardless, enjoy the big game. See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see that Nikki Helly lost to Nevada to nobody? Late Night talked about her. We’re also talking about it on our political podcast that’s called Ballot.

Ellly got thirty percent of the vote, which was less than none of these candidates. Steve Colbert said, Nicki Haley’s campaign messages nobody’s better than me, and Nevada agreed. She also lost to Nevada candidates. Not feeling it today and gonna be a no from me, dog kibble. You know how they say you’re second and none.

She finished second and none. I like the idea that people took the time to wait in line a vote for the candidates and picked none of these candidates. It’s like going to Wendy’s and yelling nothing for me, thanks. Seth Meyer’s even worse. She actually came in third behind none of these candidates.

And no, seriously, not you, Nikki. My that’s fun? All right? Hey, Johnny Mack, what’s a special and what’s an hour? Well, I’ll tell you what’s a special.

Cat Williams Live on Netflix. I cannot wait for this May fifth, ten pm Eastern, Cat Williams will performed live at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. The special is unnamed, but I mean, come on going after that last interview where he trashed everybody, including you, listener, cannot wait for that May fifth Netflix Cat Williams Live Awesome. A weird one came out on Wednesday night sometime after six pm Eastern. Fortnite was like, yeah, Trevor ne Noah is producing a new comedy special in Fortnite and it’s on now now.

There have been mixed reports about this. In the end, Trevor’s not actually in this thing, he’s quote unquote producing it. That’s often industry code for hey, can we attach your name to something and give you money so we get more pressed for it and you don’t actually do anything. For example, watch Star Trek Discovery and count how many producers there are? Twenty one by my count.

Anyway, Trevor Noah is producing a new stand up comedy special Fortnite. Joke Night has launched. If you need the island code, it’s a six two nine eight two nine sixty five two four. I hope you had a pen in your hand. If not, that fifteen second rewind button comes in handy, or just go to the epic pic section of the discovery page.

It features performances from Matthew Brissard, Who’s Great Preacher Lawson, Scott Sase, and Marsha Belski a suit Who’s not Trevor Noah said. Each comedian delivers a motion captured performance delivered in a Fortnite outfit against the backdrop of a digitally rendered comedy club. Trevor Noah, in a statement supposedly said, with joke Night Royale, we’re blending two things my mom never wanted me to get into, comedy and gaming. I’m excited to step into this uncharted territory, breaking down traditional barriers and offering a fresh, dynamic way for fans to experience comedy. I think the idea is actually cool, but I’m old.

I’ll check in with my son to see what he thinks of all this. Fortnite has already done performances from the likes of Travis, Scott and M and M. Comedy’s an expansion of that. I like it. The av Club points out.

While the trailer announces the show and it drops Trevor Noah’s name, it doesn’t feature Trevor Noah. It doesn’t feature Trevor Noah’s voice, nor does it feature a Fortnite approximation of Trevor no Noah. So I got my wish. The Joe Rogan podcast is back available over the wall. You don’t have to use the Spotify app.

I was using pocketcasts and I enjoyed some Joe Rogan with Aaron Rodgers and men I shared in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Well maybe a year or two ago, Tim Heidecker did a parody of the Joe Rogan podcast where he and his crew were talking conspiracies. That’s what this Aaron Rodgers interview talked about. They were just running through the conspiracies COVID, RFK, Epstein Island, UFOs and just switching topics like three conspiracies a minute. I’m not exaggerating.

Listen to it. They’ll be in the middle of a UFO conversation and suddenly we’re on Epstein Island and then back to COVID. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t think there was a single question about football. Aaron Rodgers mentioned a couple times what he does for a living.

I think the word super Bowl was set once, but it is not a football interview. And I’m sure the Jets are thrilled that Aaron Rodgers is on the Joe Rogan Experience available wherever you get your podcasts. Mark Marin has John Oliver on I haven’t gotten a listen to that. I’m excited NBC got in on the Shane Gillis controversy. They write with Shane Gillis’s return SNL, Asians ask when they’ll stop being the punchline.

They quote one Asian American comedian is saying there’s an idea that Asians will take it and have to just be obedient and have a smile on our face. Dylan Adler in La based Asian American comedians quoted as saying there’s a feeling of it being swept under the rug anti Asian jokes being viewed as benign or not having real life effects and consequences on people when it’s not the case. I meant to tell you yesterday I saw the clip of Shane Gillis making jokes about Chinatown and I wanted to share it, but there’s just so many F bombs in it. It just I’d have to just machety it and it just wouldn’t translate at all. Now my take, I’m gonna be consistent here.

I think Shane is dropping into a character to illustrate how absurd the character is. It’s almost like Archie Bunker. So how do you do Archie Bunker without actually saying horrible things? At some point comedy’s comedy. I got a joke about something everybody.

NBC loaded their article Gillis, who’s been embraced by right wing viewers for his anti wo comedy. He was fired from SNL. We’ve recapped that. Just Tom, an Asian American stand up comedian and actor, said, from twenty eighteen ish to right now, casting has become more diverse, but because the image change, it allowed people like straight white men to believe that now they’re the alternative voice. They’re the little guy who’s punching up against the diverse powers that be.

Dylan Adler says, what comedy’s supposed to do is surprise you. When I hear that that isn’t surprising, it’s not interesting, it’s not nuanced. That it does feel lazy to me. For your point here, there’s so many talented, incredible Asian comedians and actors they haven’t had on the show yet. I can’t believe they haven’t had Margaret Show host the show or someone like Michelle Yo.

Michelle Yeo would be a good choice Marker show. Why would Margaret Show host SNL in twenty twenty four? Anyway, we’ll be talking about that one for another week and SNL in the news During a Taylor Swift Super Bowl week club Shayshay continues to make major comedy news. Monique is on the latest episode, and Men’s Journal recapt it and says Monique has not forgotten a twenty eighteen GQ interview in which Tiffany Hattish made comments about Monique when Monique accused Netflix of racial and gender bias after she was paid less for a stand up special compared to other comedians such as Dave Chappelle and Amy Schumer. Let me jump in there.

Yeah, you’re paid less than Dave Chappelle. I mean, at some point, please be realistic. Chris Rock’s gonna get paid better than Todd Barry. Let’s just be realistic. What are you talking about.

Tiffany Haddish at that time said my business run different than her business. I don’t live her life I don’t have that husband of hers. I’m looking at how Netflix open up so many opportunities for black females in comedy when my people are dying. That’s when you’re gonna catch me protesting. I’m not going to protest because somebody got offered, not the amount of money they want to get offered.

If you don’t like what they’re offering, you just no longer do business with them. That seems reasonable to me, based on what I just said. Monique question why black women continue to throw each under of the bus on the podcast, She said, well, I don’t do business like Monique do business, and I’m glad I don’t have that husband of hers. Monique responded to that and said, Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine, you might not have two DUIs. If you had a husband like mine, you may not be caught up in what looks like you could have been grooming a child.

A Men’s journal reminds us. The latter comment references a controversial comedy skit Tiffany appeared in alongside Aery Spears in twenty twenty two, titled Through a Pedophile’s Eyes. It led to a lawsuit. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, Hadish apologize for the skit. Comeil nan Gianni opened up about the mental stress created by being in The Eternals.

He was on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast and said, the reviews were bad, and I was too aware of it. I was reading every review and checking too much. It was really really hard because Marvel thought that movie was going to be really, really well reviewed, so they lifted the embargo early and put it in some fancy movie festivals, and they sent us on a big global tour to promote the movie right as the embargo lifted. I think there was some weird soup in the atmosphere for why that movie got slammed so much, and I think not much of it has to do with the actual quality of the movie. Was really hard, and that’s what I thought was unfair to me and unfair to my wife Emily, and I can’t approach my work this way.

They wore some stuff has to change, so I started counseling. I still talked to my therapist about that. Emily says, I do have trauma from it. We actually just got dinner with somebody else from that movie and we’re like, that was tough, wasn’t it. And He’s like, yeah, that was really tough, and I think we all went through something similar.

At the GRIE Awards, Kevin Hart recognized Eddie Murphy as one of the greatest comedians of all time. He said, the idea of performing in big venues came from watching you, from watching you on that lens of what the hell the stage is attached to a laugh and in a demand where this rockstar like idea was attached to comedy because of the work you did. You made it look good, you made it look cool and my time I wanted that, and you opened the doors for me to do a version of that. He also praised pioneering comedians, including Steve Harvey for his contributions in the original Kings of Comedy, Cedric d entertainer Bernie Mack and Diel. Kevin said The Kings of Comedy was such a dope thing for comedy.

We started to expand the lens of how comedy should be perceived. I swear to you, I’m thankful and humbled for what you guys have allowed me to do. The baton gets passed, then I don’t take it for granted. Jeff Die is recording his special Two Nights and Tomorrow with the Electric Gene in Nashville. You may know Jeff from the NBC show Better Late Than Never, where he follows Henry Winkler, William Shanner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman as Jeff Greats for them the adventure of a lifetime.

Shanner’s been a space hashtag six seasons and a movie. Donald Glover tells The Holly Reporter Dan Harmon told me what he wanted, and I was like, this sounds great. This is the community movie he’s talking about here. It’s a college reunion. But Abed is like this big director now and basically this is his magnum opus.

I’m like, this sounds effing tight. And I was very sad to see my friend Mojo Nixon passed away at age sixty six. You may know Mojo. He had a minor and novelty hit back in the eighties called Elvis Is Everywhere. A statement announcing the news on his Facebook page and this is so Mojo wrote, Mojo has left the building.

Mojo Nixon real named Neil Kirby McMillan Junior. I didn’t know that died after suffering a cardiac event during an Outlaw Country cruise in which he was a performed. The Facebook post reads, how you live is how You should die. Mojo Nixon was full tilt, wide open rock hard root hog corner on two wheels plus on fire, passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners, and a good breakfast with bandmates and friends. A cardiac events on the Outlaw Country cruise is about right, and that’s just how we did it.

Mojo has left the building since Elvis is everywhere we know. He was waiting for him in the alley out back. Hen’n help us all. Mojo was a good guy, larger than life, fun, always in a good mood. I just loved being around him.

I worked with him on blue Collar Radio a little bit. He hosted some NASCAR stuff for us. But you know, super awesome guy. Mojo Nixon was sixty six. See tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Idly how I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Got a couple of Trump jokes for you. I tried to keep it fair. I’ll explain why.

After the Trump jokes, the topic Trump not getting immunity, Jimmy Kimmel said it was a devastating moment for Trump, especially when Malania started clapping. I love it. Seth said, all right, it doesn’t have immunity, but after all these trials, he must have built up some antibodies. Trump’s campaign said he respectfully disagrees with the ruling. Although if Trump knew to respectfully disagree with the loss, he wouldn’t be on trial in the first place.

So I wanted to keep it fair. I’m like, all right, keep it fair, Johnny Mack. Do some Joe Biden jokes. There were none available, so I asked chat Chept four to write some. One is okay?

Have you heard about President Biden’s latest workout routeat. It’s called running for Office. It involves a lot of backtracking, sidestepping, and the occasional spread to the left. He says it’s great for building core support. That one’s all right, I asked it for six.

The rest were bad. It’s a bad one. The White House staff installed a new game on Biden’s phone and keep them sharp. It’s not Candy Crush. It’s fine, Mike Glasses.

I mean it’s bad. I could see Fallon doing it. Then I asked it to do a Prince Harry joke. I’ve been very busy over at the Palace Entry podcast. Don’t know if you heard King Charles’s cancer.

We’ve been doing bonus episodes that had been quite busy over there, and this one’s pretty good. From the late bot, I heard King Charles only spend thirty minutes with Prince Harry. In royal terms, that’s just enough time to decide which tea not to drink. Earl Gray, Nope, time’s up. I like that one, all right, bow and Yang man.

He deleted his Instagram posts interesting. You may recall that Bowen had shared a photo to Instagram of a note that Lauren Michaels had left for Nicky Haley. That note read, Ambassador Haley, Welcome to Studio eight h from Lauren plus everyone at SNL. Yang captioned his post everyone smiley face emoji. He later deleted the post, but social media has been decoding Bowen’s subtle protests of Louren Michael’s recent bookings over the past few weeks.

You may remember Dave Chappelle showed up at the group farewell at the end of an episode recently and Bowen stood as far away bos well from Dave and the next week Shane Gillis is back well discussed on the podcast All Week. You can listen to the last two three episodes about that. Anyway, Bowen Yang’s Instagram no longer contains any mention of SNL at all. He apparently has taken off every scrap of SNL from his social media presence. Some are wondering if he’s going to leave the show.

So I think Bowen probably is the best cast member on the current show. That said, the last two seasons with Bowen as the best cast member have been pretty terrible. Bowen, you don’t want to get into a whistling match with Lorne in year forty nine. Lauren is going to be coronated for year fifty. It’s going to be a big deal and Lauren is going to stand there with the likes of Will Ferrell and Tina Fey and Kristen Wig and Adam Sandler and whoever else you want to add to the list.

It is not the time to take Loauren my On. You’re going to lose. So what would a post SNL career look like for Bowenie? And he’s got the podcast podcast or nice on doing one right now. I guess he’d get some streaming service movies.

I’m not sure it’s big enough to do with theatrical comedy. So I don’t know. Man. As I prepped the show today, the mainstream media has caught on to the Shane Gillis thing. I’m not going to get into that today.

I had plenty to say the last two three days, and I want to keep the podcast fresh rather than just rehash that. Bert Krescher and Tom Sigora have put out a press release this next segment. Everything I’m going to share with you is directly from the press release. And if you listen every day, you know I like eye rolling press releases because they could be so corny. So here’s what the press release is about.

Entertainment powerhouses Bert Kreischer and Tom Sigoor are set to disrupt the spirits industry with the launch of their premium Vadka Porosos not for their friendship and unfiltered humor. The duo is teaming up with Drip MFG, a leading venture studio special in celebrity consumer packaged goods parenthese CpG brands to bring this exciting venture to life. All right, so far not horrific or also translated from Spanish because of Tom Sigora’s provan background in Spanish speaking, deep cuts meaning for the Bears, as a play on their top comedy podcasts, Two Bears, one Cave. This vodka is Buy the Bears Burton Tom for the Bears, their audience. Created with the utmost dedication of quality, this gluten free vodka stands out by using only premium ingredients including non gmo wheat and a patent did finishing process from a Persado craft technology that sets us apart in a crowded market.

The result is a smooth, unparalleled sip promised to elevate the drinking experience for enthusiasts and navsis alike, a top shelf taste, but at a reasonable mid market retail price. It’s time to get into the quotes. Tom Sigora allegedly said, I couldn’t be more excited about launching this brand with my best friend Bert. We’ve always approached everything we do with a mix of passion and humor, and this no different. Crafting a premium vodka and sharing it with everybody is a dream come true.

Get ready to taste the laughs and the quality. It’s going to be a wild ride. Kraser added, Supposely, this is an idea Tom and I have thrown around for so long, and we’ve really taken our time to do this the right way. It’s not just something for us, it’s for our fans who’ve been along this ride with us for years. They know how to work hard, but they also know how to play hard.

I’ve always been a voka guy, so it is such a no brainer for us to do something that flipped a celebrity liquor on its head. Bring a little comedy to the bar scene. How does that bar work? What is the comedy coming to the bar scene? So Mike and Cleveland and I are at the bar.

We walk up, I look at Mike and I go porosos. He goes yeah. I look at the bar, turn and I go two, Where’s the comedy? Then there was some fun boilerplate explaining who Bert Krascher and Tom Segura are Berg. Kreischer’s career has evolved from being Rolling Stones nineteen ninety seven number one partier in the nation to one of the top grossing stand up comics in the business, and most recently, star of a major motion picture.

According to four Kreyser has been hailed as quote one of the best storytellers of his generation, seamlessly and sincerely sharing anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while preventing that there’s a way to take his party boy antics into middle age. You know what, that’s actually pretty good. I won’t make fun of that. They kind of nailed that. Then a full paragraph recounting his Netflix specials, and another paragraph telling us about the fully loaded tour and the sea crews and all that.

In addition to being named quote one of the US top stand ups over the past decade by The Guardian, Kraysier is a world renowned top podcaster, hosting Burt Cast with over five hundred episodes and two Bears One Cave with Tom Sagora, which consistently charts in the top ten comedy podcast worldwide. Bert also created, hosts and produces the YouTube cooking show Something’s Burning, which has gathered over eighteen point two million views, and then they humble brag about his social media. Is bert a world renowned top podcaster. I’m gonna go to charitable again. Let’s say maybe he is, maybe he’s not.

Let’s look see here unchartable, you can do the charts. I’m going to do an Apple podcast, and let’s pick a country, Belgium, how about Belgium? Down here to comedy. The top Apple podcast in Belgium in the comedy category, number one Alex Agnew and Andres Becker is Welcome to the AA. Number two, of course is Muslin Am Half twee Scrolling scrolling, scrolling Theovan at number forty in Belgium.

And let’s see Kate Burlant and Jack Lenovac at eighty three, Andrew Schultz at ninety one. And I’m down to one hundred, which is flying the wallaty At Carvey and David Spade. So he may or may not be a world renowned podcaster. What about you, Juddie Mack and your dumb basement. Hey, I’ll let you know right now.

This is the number six podcast in the Denmark stand up subcategory, and in Denmark the number one hundred and sixty three comedy podcast overall.

This is the number fifteen State and Up podcast in Greece, number eight in Kuwait, the number five stand up podcast a number one twenty eight overall in the comedy category, Number seven stand up podcast in Botswana, number six in Yemen, number seven in Uganda. So I’m going to declare myself internationally renowned as well. Actor comedian writer Tom Sagora is one of the biggest names in the comedy business.

He recently toured over three undred city He’s humble brag about his tour. Segora can be seen in the STX film Countdown opposite Elizabeth Lale, Instant Family opposite Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, Opening Act and Flinch. He can we wanted something New. Every day when he isn’t performing on stage recording a podcast, he’s watching college football or waiting for college football to come back. Mosha Kasher was on the Last Laugh podcast.

You may or may not know that Mosha is married to Natasha Lazeiro, who recently took her top off during a set. He says he’s been so focused on his book release that he barely noticed the fact that Natasha broke the Internet. He says, I’m mostly here for her moral support. No one asked me how I feel about it. I’m furious.

I feel betrayed. Those were mine, and I’m very upset.

And now, to be honest with you, I’m very proud.

I thought it was really punk rock and really cool. Nothing matters when you really think about it. So if you could do something interesting in the world, I’m all for it. And they’re good. I’m proud to be the roommate of those breasts.

He talked about how he got into stand up. His high school friend Chelsea Peretti, Yes that one took him to his first real stand up show during a visit to New York when he’s still in college. On the bill that night, Patrese, O’Neil and Sarah Silverman, he said, I listen to Patrice and Sarah do stand up, and I wasn’t offended or appalled, but it was definitely shocked that you could do that. He remembers Patrese making fun of Michael J. Fox.

Mosha says, and I’m sitting there going you can’t do that. You can’t make fun of Michael G. Fox being sick. It’s so wrong and everyone’s laughing. Was this real configuration of what you can do or what I could do with my writing?

You can just be funny for the sake of itself. Kevin Hart is all excited that the World Cup is coming to the United States. The final is going to be in New Jersey, not too far from where I live. Kevin was on Fox promoting whatever he was promoting on a particular day, and he talked about his long history with soccer, dating back to childhood. He explained how his own kids have gotten him back into the sport, so he teased the idea of getting a full back tattoo in honor of the World Cup.

He said, my love for the game started when I was younger. I think now being a soccer dad, you know, having kids that love the sport and to fall the sport, it’s given me a different level of passion. Well via gold dot Com, Greg Buralter says the US men’s national team have sent Kevin Hard a tattoo that says USA all day. Let’s see if Kevin actually does it. I want to shout out the members who went to buy me a coffee.

Dot com slash a Daily Comedy News. They’ve set up recurring donations. Hi Tommy, Hi Andrea, Gary Shannon, Mike Kenny, Kenny, I just shot your note on the side by the way, much appreciated. So this next one is from the University of Indie Reflector. So it’s a college student.

I don’t want to go totally off here, but the headline Joe Coy’s comedy at the Golden Globes was a joke from the article. According to the Golden Globes award website, Joe Coy was to host the ceremony because he would bring three things his unique charm, energy, and unpredictable humor. Of those things, he was definitely unpredictable. But I must have missed the port where we were supposed to be genuinely humorous. Maybe I should cut him some slack.

It’s unrealistic to expect for perfection, after all, we’re all human. But I think taking accountability is what ultimately redeems someone. Thank goodness, Coy did that not, So what’s the issue here? Oh? Joe Coy was vicious about Taylor Swift.

Should I play what he said? All? Right? I’m going to parental discretion is advice here. This clip about Taylor Swift is just so vicious.

Okay, you ready for this, So let’s listen to what Joe Coy he said about Taylor Swift. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL on the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Oh my goodness, that is so mean to joke about football game showing Taylor Swift in the skybox. That is just terrible.

How could you do that? Joe Coy article says that the most Coy claimed his Taylor Swift joke didn’t land the way he wanted. He relied on playing the victim and having a tough crowd for a majority of response to criticism, the writer says, I’m so incredibly happy that he can hide behind a veil and call his pathetic attempt at comedy and experience he will not forget because I will not forget it either. Should we listen to the joke again? Let’s listen.

Big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL on the Golden Gloves we have fewer ciber shots of Taylor Swift. Oh man, Joe, dude, that is vicious. How can you say such a thing about Taylor Swift that she’s at a football game and they show her? Oh my god, Joe, Relax boy. I hope Lauren doesn’t ask Joe Coy to host SNL Boon and Yang won’t want any part of this.

The writer says, I generally hope he realizes how problematic his comments were, and then he didn’t have to say anything that was written for him. People did not laugh, they did not find it funny, and the only joke in that room had the title of host. The first Macau International Comedy Festival will be held from March eleventh through the eight I’m not sure who’s playing. Hey Macaw guys, if you want me to go, I’ll go. From the Figure Lakes Daily, You’re home for comedy news.

Andrew Dice Clay reportedly joining Eddie Murphy’s heist comedy The Pick Up, this one for Amazon Prime Video. Beat Davidson also in this as well as Keky Palmer. It’s funny how names all of a sudden pop up on this podcast. Billboard interviewed Dice and here I’ll read it too. Dice performed his final show at Madison Square Garden in two thousand inc to deal with Serious XM in two thousand and five, and stayed busy for the next twenty years.

Blah blah blah blah blah. I’m going to push back hard on ink to deal with serious XM in two thousand and five. A couple of reasons. One, there was no such thing as serious XM in two thousand and five. There was serious satellite radio, and there was XM radio.

And in two thousand and five, I definitely was running comedy at Sirius. I did not recall a deal with Dice. Howard wasn’t there yet. Howard didn’t get there to two thousand and six, So the Howard channels didn’t do it, and I didn’t do it. And I feel like I would remember Dice having some sort of thing.

Maybe the Big Boss did a deal with Dice, but it never materialized into a show. I guess that’s possible. Separately, maybe Dice did a deal with XM. I wasn’t running XM comedy in two thousand and five. I believe Sonny Fox was in two thousand and five, so I don’t know.

I googled Dice XM two thousand and five, didn’t see anything relevant. I googled Dice Serious two thousand and five. I don’t see anything relevant. So, mister Clay, I’d love to know more about your show or whatever the deal was. Maybe the deal wasn’t for a show.

Maybe the deal was, I don’t know, maybe we’re gonna sell radios. I’d like to know more about it. I’ve been feisty this week and I’m gonna get out on that. And here’s why I told you the other day about the sixteen year old border colligue. Sometimes they have accidents, and an accident apparently happened, and the smell is so bad I need to get out of my studio and get some air.

So that’s it. Thank you for listening. Let’s see to where owh
