Caloroga Shark Media Bloom, Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Shane Gillis will host Saturday Night Live tomorrow. There’s still really no press about him, which is surprising, but NBC finally put out a teaser for the episode. In it, we see Shane Gillis working out his monologue on a stage with almost no one in the audience. Let’s listen.

Robbie pra you know him as the VP of Stand Up in Comedy Formats at NETFLX. I worked with him back when he was at Just for Laughs. Good guy. He’s done a great job with Netflix and Variety tells us.

Best Podcast of the Year, Tomorrow’s Deely Comedy News, the one I Haven’t even recorded yet, Best Podcast of the Year, What Are We Doing? And Variety’s backing this up with. Leguizamo’s storied career in comedy also includes all Right, I’ll give you a second, watch your rattle off. John Leguizamo’s famous comedy films, Give you another second?

Pamela Adlon gets the Comedy Director Award for Babes, which also premieres at South Pye Point, taking John we got it the first six times. Adlin’s notable credits include serving as the writer, director, executive producer, and star of the award winning FX comedy series Better Things.

Hold On. I just got a text this is real from my daughter. She’s at the National Donuts chain and she texted, me, how do I see past orders? The lady is arguing with me that I didn’t order a donut. I have to pull up my app.

I don’t even have my phone with me now, she wrote, nevermind leave it in. I’m writing back, okay, recording. I’ll go down on the National Donuts chain and tell them we spend twenty five thirty dollars a day there between me, my daughter and when I get my mom’s stuff, So don’t accuse us of trying to steal a donut. Where were we? Pamela Adlin will be honored with the Comedy Director Award for her work on Babes.

Her notable credits include serving as the writer, director, executive producer, and star of the award winning FX comedy series Better Things. Remember Better Things? Of course you do, just case out. I’ll google it so we can all remember together what Better Things is was Better Things the story of Sam Fox, a single mother and working actor with no filter, trying to raise her three daughters. This ran from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two without me noticing it while hosting a daily podcast.

Willie Sing will receive the inaugural Comedy Crossover Award. I’m gonna not even read the paragraph. I’m gonna guess She’s going to receive the Comedy Crossover Award for Something premiering at south By Let’s see for her evolution as a storyteller from YouTube creator, a TV host, and now to actor culminating in her comedy film Doing It, premiering at south By Southwest. To come on with this, I’m not reading any more of that. That is just nonsense.

Last weekend, Joe Coy set a new record after his two shows at the La Forum. Joe Coy is now the only comedian to hold the title for most headlining shows by a comedian with six shows at the Kia, all of which were completely sold out, which is shocking because he recently made horrible, horrible fun of Taylor Swift. Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift Boy. That is harsh.

I don’t know how anyone would go see this person after he was so mean to Taylor. Joe Koi went on Instagram to share the massive accomplishment with his newly awarded plaque. He captured it first comedian to sell out the Forum six times. I’m living the dream. I Love you, La.

Adam Sandler is filming his special at the Nocturn Theater in Glendale. He’s doing several shows from the twenty seven through the first so we’re gonna edit those together and hope we can get a funny performance out of it. Good luck. Yeah, Caddie John is back. I did the nice episode.

I drank your coffees. I’m back to my real opinions. Adam Sandlor not funny. Let me look this up. He’s not really doing four shows to get a special.

They usually do two, which I understand because you need pickups and whatnot or something that’s go great. But four is a lot. Let me say wow. Two shows on Tuesday, two on Wednesday, two on Thursday, and one on Friday. I mean, part of that might just be you can sell a ton of tickets and he’s already there.

But also between the five shows out can get a good performance. This next item is just shocking, and I’m sorry to upset everybody, But according to a Variety, I know this is going to shock a lot of you, so you might just want to take a seat for second. As you know, Adam Sandler has a movie coming out called Spaceman. Apparently it’s not good. Sorry, I know, I just ruined your weekend, I know, right, Like Adam Sandler and a cgi alien?

How can that not be great? Variety writes Adam Sandler, we can all agree, is a serious actor. Time’s a great one is comic DNA will often threat its way to performance, has but not always an uncut gems. He had a frantic agro desperation worthy of a scor Sesi crime film. That’s right in Hustle, the crowd pleasing Netflix sports drama, and, as I recently said, the second best Adam Sadlor film.

He played a pro basketball scout with a minshe mouthonis that carry the audience right along. So when you sit down and watch Space Man, in which Sandler plays a morosely bearded and I’m tired looking Czechoslovakian astronaut who’s six months into a solo mission to the far side of the Solar System, you give Adam Sandler the benefit of the doubt. Of course you do. If any actor has the resources to hold down the center of a movie like this one, rides variety, it’s probably Adam Sandler. Of course, who else would you possibly cast in such a dramatic role, But variety says, Spaceman It’s my duty to report is a glum and meandering science fiction fairy tale of a movie.

It premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, and you could see why it was programmed there. It’s got an austereur dystopian vibe that allows it to pass for an art film. Sailor certainly does what he can with the role, but the director doesn’t know how to carry the audience along. See it’s the director’s fault. Spaceman gets lost in space and mostly just sits there limply because everything that happens is too soft.

Right to the spoiler whoh spoiler article. I won’t ruin it for you. I know you want to watch this. You know you go to a theater this weekend, or just wait, it’ll be on Netflix next Friday. Sorry to ruin your weekend like that.

Let me cheer you up and tell you. Nicki Minaj wants to add Kat Williams to her Pink Friday to World tour. She tells us she’s looking to bring the funniest managed show business on the road with her this spring. Nicky says, I know that he’s the busiest managed show business. I know that he’s rich.

I know that he’s the funniest man of show business. Can y’all hit up Kat Williams and ask him what would be his price to be part of the Pink Friday to Gag City tour. Williams has yet to respond to Minaj’s inquiry, which reminds me neither Joe Rogan or Conan have gotten back to me about my challenge to fight either of them, or perhaps even both of them at the same time. At UFC three hundred, they are wuss’s Kevin Hart has not murdered anyone. That was trending.

Apparently someone else, also named Kevin Hart has been arrested in charge with murder, and this is not funny. But the person who is murdered is named Jackie Robinson, so I’m sure there’s going to be all sorts of weird google going on. But the famous comedian Kevin Hart has not murdered anyone. A bunch of things out today. Bernie Max posthumous album Tapes from m King is out on Kevin Hart’s record Lay Adam Burke has a new comedy album called Weaponized Empathy, Chris Martin has a new album called Above Ground Comedian, and Jenny Slate’s Seasoned Professionals on Amazon Prime today.

The mainstream media has just done a lot of fawning over Jenny Slayton several articles, and I’ve wanted to share them with you, But as much as I quote from articles, there’s very little interesting in these articles. I don’t know what is going on. I just read them and I’m like, hey, that happen. Here’s one from the Hollywood Reporter who asks Jenny slat seems like there’s an expectation for stand ups to deliver specials at a fairly regular pace these days. Do you feel pressured?

Jenny tells the Hollywood Reporter, Thank god, I don’t. The pressure that I feel arrived from me around fourth grade, and continues on, I’m forty one, and that’s just will they like me. It’s not really up to me, is it. I try my best and hope the audience understands that I want to be with them. This shows what I have to offer.

It’s my weird dowry. One of the best things about filming a special is this feeling that comes after It’s like, who I want to take that exam for a while. It would be a sad day for me to say I’ll never do stand up again. Doesn’t feel realistic. But I’m increasingly interested in other ways that I could be funny, on stage that don’t involve the tight rope of stand up.

It’s really weird to be afraid of the audience because it’s not about the audience. It’s about my wobbly grass on my own sense of power, whether I can drive this vehicle that is me onto that stage. Chris Martin’s album Not That One, points out the press release, Above Garround Comedian is out today on Blonde Medicine. In Above Ground Comedian Chris Martin, Not That One tells tales of how his parents informed Chris’s foray into parenthood, his shortcomings of veganism, surviving marriage, cultural assimilation as a Brits living in LA and of course, his dog’s butt love It. Adam Burke’s album Weaponize Empathy on a Special Thing at Records.

He has takes on health issues, the real meanings of Generation X, and an Irish Hello originally from Ireland by way of Australian England. Long Story, tells the press release. Adam’s been performing comedy in Chicago and there at the US for seventeen years. From Gossip Corner, Tim Dillon has listed his house for five million dollars, apparently, according to the rob Report, previously owned by Silicon Valley actor Thomas Middleditch. Tim paid four to six for it.

Now he want’s a little under five million for it. Originally built in the early seventies, these Spanish style premises have been renovated throughout the years. It includes three bedrooms, two baths. There’s a guest cottage with a steam showered to equipp bath and an attached to car garage tucked away in a cliff top barcel of lands spanning just over a third of an acre high above Mulholland Drive. The main house is introduced via decator of arches spanning the entire front of the terra cotta roof and stucco structure.

The Robberport tells us. Probably best known for the Tim Dillon Show, which has massed one million weekly listeners, the thirty nine year old New York native also maintains a nine hundred thousand dollars house in Austin and a two point six million dollar house in Southampton. Tim Dillon’s pod is doing okay. Al Magriical and Jay Larson have a new podcast. This one is called The dust Up.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Donnell Rawlings is defending his beef with Corey holcom Dona was on TMZ Live, where he explain that the beef was because he wanted to shield himself from Corey’s allegations that anybody in comedy who’s done three movies or more has had to do a favor for somebody in the business. Donelle points out that Corey himself has done four movies, perhaps doing a favor, perhaps not, I don’t know. Donale points out that Corey’s literally guilty of his own joke.

He’s also mad that Corey took shots at Dave Chappelle. You know, I was listening to yesterday’s podcast in the cars. I was on my way to the National Donuts Chain. I do that most mornings to QC the show see if I blew any edits or made a horrible mistake of some kind. And I was listening to Corey say that out of five Dave Chappelle specials, two of them are funny.

That’s kind of act. Donelle says he doesn’t understand the need for comics to create controversy by taking shots at others, something that’s been happening quite a lot lately in epic fashion. Well, here’s why in show business, you fight up, you never fight down. Kat Williams through Kerosene on everything, and now everyone’s talking about him. That’s what’s going on here.

When’s the last time you heard me mention Corey Holcomb on this podcast before this week? Never two years ago? I don’t know. I can’t remember it. So, yeah, that’s what’s going on here.

Everybody’s throwing heat, which reminds me that coward Joe Rogan still has not accepted my challenge to him. I guess he’s some sort of wooss. I will fight you in the ring, Joe, you tell me where UFC three hundred I’m in? What are you afraid of? Joe Rogan?

See, that’s what everybody else is doing. Maybe I shouldn’t take on Rogan. Could I fight Conan O’Brien. I mean, he’s a lot taller than me, so he’s got reach. But I feel like I could take Conan O’Brien.

Conan, what are you afraid of? Your woos? Let’s go UFC three hundred. Me and Conan O’Brien in the Octagon, bring it? Are you scared?

Awkward segue time? Ossia. Last week out, Lucas made a George Floyd related joke attempt. Apparently there’s a video out there of David Lucas claiming I’ve spoken with members of George Floyd’s family as well as close friend Stephen Jackson. Lucas apologized for the pain they may have felt, but did not apologize for the joke.

Lucas was on the Willie d Live Show and said, I’m an advocate for free speech right. The Great Patrise O’Neil said that a funny joke and a bad joke come from the same place. So that was my attempt at comedy. It was to get shock value. I’m a troll.

You heckle me, now I heckle you. I don’t apologize for doing the joke. Who are we as the gatekeepers to say when a joke goes too far? Well, you’re the comedians. You guys get to say what a joke goes too far.

I joke about beating on white women, I joke about killing white women. I joke about gay people. This sounds like a great set, David. I joke about the transsexual community. So the moment I apologize for George Floyd joke, and now I gota apologize for every other joke.

Move on, John, So, who in this situation is the gatekeeper to tell me you went too far or you didn’t go far enough? Is it because I’m not famous? If Dave Chappelle had told that joke? What would have happened? If Dave Chappelle told that joke?

There would have been five million articles about it, followed by five million opinion pieces and me putting Dave Chappelle’s name in the episode title of several episodes of this podcast. That’s what would have happened. There’s still wait, let me check one more time, because I did the show prep a few hours ago. I believe there’s still no Shane Gillis press. And this is not because I’m an idiot and don’t know when the episode is airing.

Its airing this week. If I throw Shane Gillis into Google here on Wednesday afternoon, we see the article I talked about yesterday. Why did Shane Gillis keep promoting the Holocaust deniers? Up rocks has one called SNL host Shane Gillis had Holocaust deniers on his podcast, and the third one is Shane Gillis coming to Rockford in June. Is SNL trying to sneak this episode in I don’t know what’s going on here?

Are you happy Shane Gillis is hosting? Did no one else want to host it? I mean somebody would have hosted it. No, why’d you pick Shane? If you’re not going to promote it?

They are promoted The upcoming hosts. Sydney Sweeney will host on March second, Casey Musgraves as your musical guest, then Josh Brolin and Ariana Grande on March ninth. Maybe tomorrow we’ll see some Shane Gillis press. Very interesting. Adam Sandler out there promoting Spaceman.

The movie was making its debut at the Berlin Film Festival last night. I wonder if anybody was excited about it. Doing some of the weightless scenes, Sandler says, the wires were tough because my body’s not the most flexible body. The wires hurt me. They dug into me.

The stunt man who would wire me up every day would say that hurts, and they didn’t believe me. But we did it as a team. The director would say you don’t look like you’re floating. What are you doing? And I’d say, well, what should we do?

And then they’d wire you hot up and he’d be like, more like this. Spaceman in select theaters, February twenty third, Netflix, March First. You could probably wait the eight days. No, yes, oh no, it’s February. It’s not even eight days.

Seven days. I counted on my fingers. Sandler was asked if you’d do more dramatic roles. He said, yes, I love doing the Spaceman. It was an amazing process.

Now you know me, I’m muh much prefer dramatic Adam Sandler. His two best films are, of course, Uncut Gems and Hustle. Much prefer that to Adam Sandler’s attempt at comedy. I actually think he’s pretty good as a dramatic actor. So more of that now, this one with a CGI alien.

As much as I like science fiction, I don’t know, but I’m gonna watch a set of Curiosity so I have something to talk about the podcast as well. Day the Week’s More first, Oh a Friday, Great Mike Gaps has a new special out on Netflix. Jason Zinneman, who does great work in The New York Times said Mike Gaps may be the only stand up comic alive who’s upset that Kat Williams didn’t insult him. A non spoiler of Vibe review, as I call it, Zinneman writes, on stage, Mike Gaps convincingly plays the rascal who was trimmed his way out of trouble. Sometimes his chrism is a crutch his writing concoast, especially early in this hour, when he seems to be his most generic, doing pandering or familiar jokes about prison rape, fat girls, and code switching.

His most surprising moments are not punchlines, but when he says something that could, in different hands come off as serious, like when he mentions he’s been pretending to dislike white people for forty years. There’s also a moodier side of him that you get peaks of in his stand up, but that probably deserves fuller expression. Like Dave Chappelle, Mike Epps makes a habit of scampering across the stage after a punchline and hitting the microphone, but there’s something sweetly innocent about his version, often accompanied by a wide smile. Zenmann points out he’s a fantastic mimic. Epps has long been compared to Richard Pryor, who imbued his finest work with a startling human vulnerability the swagger.

There was only a setup to the joke, something many of his successors missed. That’s great by Jason, but not Epps. You can hear the influence most overtly in a joke about how cocaine affects your sex life when he gives a voice to a body part speaking of Richard Pryor Micah. Epps beat out several other comics, including Marlon Wayans, for the title role in a Richard Pryor biopick that was gonna happen around twenty sixteen. Never did, but Epps did play Richard Pryor in HBO’s Winning Time.

Here’s that clip. There are many people speaking here. The one that sounds like Richard Pryor is Mike Epps. And if you don’t think anyone sounds like Richard Pryor, then the impressions not that good apparently, but I think it is here. You go, Hey, black man, black man, black man, man, man man, oh man.

You’ve been living like a sink these days. But if you want to celebrate after the game parties at my place in the heels. Come on up, man, we got it all man, we got white bitch. Calder Zinneman floats a theory that why the movie didn’t happen. He says after that winning time clip, Richard Pryor’s widow tweeted out her disapproval.

Hmm. Jimmy Kimmel seems annoy that he was sued by George Santos. He asked, did anybody else get sued by George Santos this weekend? I’m currently embroiled in what might be the most preposterous lossit of all time. Kimmel said, we did a nice thing.

We supported him by ordering his cameo videos. Ricky Gervais shared some extremely sad news. The very funny and very lovely you and McIntosh are known too many as Big Keith from the Office has passed away. An absolute original rip McIntosh was fifty years old, roughly sort of kind than not really the Kevin analog on the original British Office. I’ve got a bunch of clips here that I just didn’t get to it.

It was so much controversy yesterday. Yesterday was a fun nampisode. Not that today’s bad but yesterday. I love the fights. Here’s Michael Blaxon on Vlad TV talking about Taylor Swift.

Watch out, Michael, She’s not gonna like this. Taylor Swift was giving him that energy. I mean, it’s always great to have your woman there. You know, it hypes you up. Bet.

I mean it had been great before Taylor. Let’s be honest, Taylor didn’t know nothing about football. No till she started digging this guy. She knew because you watch her earlier in the season, she’ll be cheering at the wrong time. She’s like, yeah, Teller is halftime.

See now you have no clue what’s going on? Do you? Yeah, she just did just cheer her man. She’s I’m so happy for her because you could tell for the first time she’s in love. Weird Al was on with Craig Ferguson.

Al started talking about and he sounds really way too guilty here about some language he used in songs early in his career. Al. We know you come in peace, we know you don’t mean anything, and I really think you’re overthinking this. But here’s Weird Al with Craig Ferguson. I’ve been releasing records, you know, since the late seventies, so some of the you know, I obviously tried not to be offensive or do anything that I thought that would come back to haunt me later.

But there’s there’s some languages, some words that I used in the eighties and nineties which you know are now considered slurs or offensive. So you know, in fact, there’s one song that I did on this last tour which had had an offensive word in it, and I sang the word, and then the whole band stops and I have to explain, like I wrote this on the nineties, I didn’t mean any offense by it. Language is a fluid thing. But you know, you can you give me I don’t I’m not going to ask you to say the word, but can you let me give me a clue to what the word is or what it pertains to. I’ll say it because I say it is hermaphrodite.

Is that a slur? Well it is apparently, you know I thought it was a medical Well that’s exactly that’s exactly how I explained it. And you know in my apology that you know, when I wrote it in the nineties, I thought, okay, this is a technical medical term. And this is you know, the person in my hypothetical story happens to be one, right, And apparently that word is considered a slurw nowadays, which obviously, no, I’ll be honest, it’s not a word I use often, no id No, I know. Yeah, And you know, I can see the why you would use it, because it’s clearly writes with stuff.

And you know, because language changes, I mean, even the word lame, uh, you know, which is in common usage. And you know, I haven’t stopped saying that, but I mean the point has been made like, oh, that’s an ablest term, Like okay, I can see that, but still it’s it’s such a common and and there’s there’s another word that I used and I won’t say this word, but it’s a word that both Beyonce and Lizo got in trouble for. It rhymes with plastic, do you know what I mean? And begins with an sp oh gosh, yeah, right, okay, so uh and you know, in North America that’s just considered like a goofy, you know, yes, kind of good person. But in other parts of the world it’s considered a horrible slur.

Well, you know, what’s interesting is that the words the word you’re talking about, When I was a kid growing up, it was used to in medical terms to describe or like you. If someone was going to a school for people that suffered from disabilities or had disabilities, they would be called that yeah, and they would be on the sign in the school. Yeah. And it’s not that I have any objection to language change, and it does change, but I think for I feel like there is a great deal of legitimacy in the changing of the language. But I also feel there’s a lot of people out there on the balls of their feet, just waiting to be offended when there’s no genuine harm meant by yeah.

Dusty Slay was on Neil Brennan’s Blocks podcast, told this story about an earlier part of his career. He was a pesticide salesman. I like this a lot, started doing comedy as a and then I won a competition in Charleston. I made a thousand bucks.

And then the next year, in between that one and the next competition, I quit …

And then by the next year I won the competition like by way more votes, and it’s like so I was like, oh, I maybe I got something here, so I start trying to figure out how to make money doing comedy. But I don’t know if it was so much ambition as it was I hate the other job that I have, and if I can make money doing this, I mean I always said, I don’t need to be famous. If I can make a living doing this, then that’s better than what I was doing. Yep. I was really trying to do it for a minute, you know, but I was also drinking a lot.

So what you had to do you’d have to drive to the Low store and then go inside and you had to call in on the Low’s phone to you know, to a system. That way they knew you checked into that store. You couldn’t do it from yourself on That was like the way to get yourself fired instantly if you call it in from your cell phone. Okay, but I would be so I have that part wrong. But you did have call in, but I would be hungover.

So I would go show up, call in on the Low’s phone, and then go back out to my car and sit and smoke cigarettes and listen to the radio for an hour and then go back in and Dusty here talking to Neil Brennan on blocks about acting nervous on stage. This was pretty interesting because I’d picked up on that myself when I watched the special I’ve done the Tonight Show. I just did my fourth appearance on The Tonight Show, and it’s like the first time, I think they thought they had made a mistake booking me because I was so nervous. But this last time I did it, I wasn’t nervous at all. I was like, all right, I’ve done this, let’s do it.

I’m happy to be here now. On the other hand, I did the Seller to prepare for the for the Tonight Show, and I still I’m still nervous there because it just seems like the coolest place. The first time I did the Comedy Store, and the only time I did the Comedy Store, I was in the main room and I tripped down that little step going out. I was the first one, no host, no warm up. I got five minutes and I trip coming off that step.

Wonderful, but I still was able to recover and had a great set. Yeah, it was awesome, great, But it’s like, I don’t know, I found a way to use the nerves. It’s like, if I am nervous the only thing that anyone can notice is that my voice. If you know me really well, you can tell in my voice I’m a little nervous. Yeah.

But other than that, all the moves are still the same. I may touch my glasses a bit more. John Stewart good for business Man Monday Night. This week got one point three million viewers. That’s up from nine hundred and thirty thousand and week one.

That’s gonna make him, I think, the most watched late night television show. I told you, guys, put this on CBS proper. You didn’t listen to me. Put it on CBS Proper. Don’t wait.

Start doing it now and back up the Brinks truck and see if you can get John to do more. What’s gonna happen to the Daily Show when John’s gone after November? Like this is gonna be fun all summer, and then election is gonna happen and John’s gonna react to it, and then it’s gonna be January of twenty twenty five and they’re gonna go, hey, look, everybody, here’s Jordan Klepper. This might actually kill the Daily Show like they were lucky. Trevor was able to follow John, who’s gonna be able to follow John the second time if the numbers are up this much.

Episode one, aside from the nine hundred thirty right away, it hit three million viewers with the live plus three day numbers including simulcass On other Paramount networks. The one point three million is the most watched daily show since twenty fifteen. You know who was the host then, John Stewart Monday Night Show beat every episode of Trevor Noah’s Run and I like Trevor Noah, but back up the truck. Here you go, John, Daisy Leidik is your host this week. The four day Slow Comedy Festival kicks off tonight and it’s fourteenth year in sam Luis OBISPO founder and director Eric Schantz tells Ksby that he started it fourteen years ago after seeing a similar format done in Edinburgh or year one.

We had stages on milk rates with tabletops that we used folding tables on to actually have a well built stage, actual sound system, spotlights. It’s an amazing transformation. Twenty two shows across ten venues. Information at Slocomedyfestival dot Comslow Comedy Festival dot com. I skim the names.

I don’t think there’s anyone that, unless you’re really into this, that you would recognize. So I won’t do the lineups every night, but it sounds like a cool festival. From the Department of don’t make this, Please don’t Paramount Pictures working on a spinoff to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The spinoff takes place kind of during Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It centers on the two valets who borrow the Ferrari belonging to Cameron.

Remember that scene. Yeah, this is called Sam and Victor’s Day Off. Hollywood is of ideas. Man, if you’ve got HBO Max Max Max Max, HBO Max Max, HBO Max, Rory Scovell’s got a new special today. I’ve mentioned this before.

It’s like, how did Rory Scovell, who’s fine, How did Rory Scovell pull an HBO Max special. Well, Conan O’Brien is producing it under his team Coco Banner. That’s how. Doesn’t mean the guy’s not funny, doesn’t mean the guy’s not cool, just means Conan O’Brien’s producing it. So that’s part of Conan’s deal.

That’s how he gets it. In the New Hour, Rory Scovell offers observations on disparate subjects such as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting an eight year old, and much more. Seventy minutes set, which is probably fifteen minutes too long, says the guy who hasn’t seen yet Rory Scovell. Religion, sex, and a few things in between on your Max today, and that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

They might like it too. You can share it on social media, or you could like the Facebook group and we can go viral that way. Always trying to grow the show here. Appreciate your help with that. So new members in the Facebook group, welcome to the group.

Everyone’s encouraged to join us. If you do, try and join before you post the first time, you get a quick time out. We had some porn bots over the summer, so I had to put in a rule. But I usually approve things pretty quickly. I can usually tell if you’re a porn bot or not.

Caloroga Shark Media. Oh man, let’s get right Wait, where’s the crowd? Crowd? Where are you? Oh?

There they are. What happened there? That was weird? Anyway, get your popcorn out and let’s get right to this today. I want you guys to pay attention.

Originally when I did the script, John Stewart was the top story. There’s so much fighting today. Wait do you hear how long it takes me to get to Stewart. Let’s start with Corey Holcombe. Corey Holcombe was on the fifty one to fifty show.

I want to let his words speak for themselves, but I did have to make some edits here. He said a lot of things you would bleep, but you’ll get the gist. Dave should will be bombing. I’m just keeping it real though I have watched whenever they say, SKay, everybody guess what special guess Dave Chappelle, I’ll be like, oh damn, it’s gonna be hot garbage for at least a howl hour, maybe two. I’m just keeping it real.

But he needs to understand you throwing your weight around too much. Man standing up there smoking with them irregular shirts on bombing all the time. Dave Chappelle is absolutely great in movies. Great. I didn’t say good, I said great, not a professor.

Them scenes where he was in the movies with Martin when Dave Schappelle is in the movie man Dave Chapelle killed. We was talking about it before we came on. The Chappelle Show was so good and entertaining. The Chappelle’s Show. They were selling it in the barber shops.

It’s a TV show. They was selling the TV show in the barber shops. Give Dave Chappelle his flowers, but stand up up. This man has so much power because what he’s done in movies and TV that he can go in any comedy club. They’re gonna put him up because he’s Dave Schappelle.

And I promise you this man is about to do a say no to comedy speech for as long as he up there. It’s just nobody has the courage to say nothing because it’s Dave Chapelle. But Dave Schappelle be bombing. Now. I’ve watched Dave Chappelle’s specials.

Out of every five specials, two of them are good, all right, according to TMZ. Donelle Rawlings was up on stage at the laugh Factory, Corey Holcomb was supposed to follow him, started heckling him. Donell told Holcomb that he was a provocateur who was only trying to incite people. There’s a bit of an argument, you can hear. They get back and forth into it.

Corey questions don El’s street cred. Donelle is not happy that Corey employed. Is that if you have made three movies in Hollywood, you had to do a favor. You know what I mean for someone in the business. Anyway, Let’s listen to the clip best we can, all right, listen, listen.

Just be fair legendary. No, no, no, no, no, Let’s be fair. Let’s be fair real. You say you keep it a hundred. You know how I get that?

I ripped you? Rip once? I ripped you. You had any ever see me, Bob, anybody and you have anybody that don’t know me. I didn’t take no, say no.

You trying to say I’m a bum. I ain’t. No boy. The way you know what you’re doing now, you’re a provocateur. You know how to incite people.

People look at you nothing us at tomorrow, I’ll put you out. I’m guess what that’s that and guess what. You can say what you want to say. You can say what you want to say. You calling me a mouth comic, it’s totally off.

More fighting. Eddie Griffin has called Shannon Sharp’s podcast club shay Sheha. He’s referred to it as this is Eddie saying this, not Johnny Mac. Eddie called it club gay gay. He has been joking about Shannon Sharp’s sexuality.

I’m going to have to quite paraphrase here. There are some in words I’ll substitute in the word fellow, and I will not attempt to match Eddie’s speech pattern. So I’ll do this as Johnny Mac. But the transcript more or less reads and club shay sheha, Yeah, shay shay gay gay. I don’t give an f that that fella is gay.

That fella sitting there with tight pants on, with his stuff all up in Kat’s face. You can tell by how that fella drinks that he is gay. He kept saying, Now, now, Kat, those are favor lips, fella. I have cleaned that up that mfer had favor on them lips. Don’t know fella drink like that.

I hope that makes sense to you. I cannot do it in its original form at all. Shannon Sheriff said, there he isn’t the same joke. But at some point it’s going to get old and people are gonna get tired of y’all saying Shannon’s gay and Shannon this. You’re gonna have to get back to telling jokes.

Distractify looked into a rumor that Bert Kerscher was arrested. He was not. They write news of Bert’s jail time was trending for a moment. Let’s break down what really happened. I didn’t even see this trending, but okay.

In an episode of Two Bears, One Cave, Tom Sigoura revealed that Bert was quote doing a little bit of time during the recording. Tom didn’t share any details about why Bert would have been arrested, but he extended words of support to Bert, saying, hopefully his legal matters resolve themselves. I know he has the best attorneys you can hire. He’s also got a lot of health trouble, so they’re taking care of him in the medical ward of the jail. Tom did that dead pan and apparently fooled some people On TikTok.

One person commented, I can’t wait to hear Bert’s stand up that comes from this experience. Another fan wrote, Burt’s probably so confused why everyone thinks he’s in jail? That’s fun. The Daily Beast went with the headline why does Shane Gillis keep promoting these Holocaust deniers? Here we go, Johnny Max’s been waiting for Shane Gillis controversy.

This autist started up. The Daily Beast writes, when SNL introduces host Shane Gillis, the comedian who was hired and quickly fired from the cast in twenty nineteen over his history of racist, homophobic, and transphobic comments on February twenty fourth, some viewers will inevitably find their way back to his podcast. Those who keep listening will eventually meet Bill McCusker, the brother of Gillis’s co host Matt and Andrew Pacella, their longtime friend. Those two have appeared nearly twenty times on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, currently Patreon’s top rank podcast with the more than eighty thousand paid subscribers. Boy, let’s do the math on that hold on.

I’m on graftreyon who show Matt and Shane having eighty two thousand to five hundred and fifty two paid members. The estimated earnings per month are somewhere between two hundred and thirteen thousand and five hundred and seventy eight thousand per month. Let’s just say each of the eighty two thousand members are paying one dollar. That’d be eighty two grand a month. I’m gonna go to their Patreon.

Boy, don’t get mad at me when I run a triple commercial in the midroll. Guys, Okay, there are grandfathered poors for a dollar a month that has sold out. The professional class is five dollars a month, where you can join the Divine Order of the Dogs for ten dollars a month. So if we do lazy math, eighty thousand times five’s four hundred grand times twelve. Not a bad living.

However, back to Bill McCusker and Andrew Possella, they are Sandy Hook truthers. Johnny Mac has no tolerance for that whatsoever. I am not gonna pull any punches. The are no tolerance for Sandy hook truthers. According to the Daily Beast, those two are Sandy Hook truthers, arguing in two separate episodes of Matt and Chain’s secret podcast that the slaughter never happened.

Disgusting. They are nine to eleven truthers who believe, Perposella, that the Israelis knew about the attacks in advance and may have orchestrated them to take over our meetium, destroy our country cheese. They believe in pizzagate, writes The Daily Beast, some more yucky things I don’t want to share. In one episode, McCusker, the brother apparently asked, do I want Hillary Clinton to be eating effing children with her lover because she’s a lesbian. No, but it’s where it brought us.

Wow, I had no idea, According to The Daily Beast. In a different episode, Pacella, speaking of the Honocaust, says, prove to me that it happened. Show me historians. Why are they lying, dude? Why are all these so called survivors making up stories?

It was a hallucination. How about the actual footage of the showers? Bro yikes? Wow. Quoting from The Daily Beast, here, Passella keeps going questioning whether we were the bad guys in World War two?

Quote? Why do they keep making movies? We’re like, oh, dude, we save Private Ryan skipping at a few paragraphs. Boy, John, this is a fun podcast today. Shane Gillis jumps in and says, Okay, see, this is what I’m worried about, the genuine anti semitism.

The Daily Beast writes. He tells the Due I have a problem, and he believes Pasella is behind it. Selah says, I’m not behind it. We just collectively one day were like, le’s figure out if this absolutely happened. Gillis responds, stop, stop, stop, I’m doing the audio on this.

There’s no pauses, there’s no takebacks. The BET says the duo’s Holocaust denile did not dissuade Gillis from welcoming him back to the podcast many more times. Yikes, that’s all ikey, isn’t it. Yeah? Sorry it took you there, guys, but boy, that really said.

Some context for Shane Gillis hosting SNL this week. Let’s do a quick palette cleanser here. Here’s Joe Coy being really really mean to Taylor Swift. The big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift.

Oh, Joe Coy, that is so vicious. All right, check your watch? How far into this are we? When I finally got to John Stewart was back on The Daily Show Monday. He spent most of this show responding to the blown back he got for hosting the show the previous week.

John said the response of the first show last Monday was universally glowing. Okay, maybe not universal, and he showed some screenshots of critical tweets. John said, everything on Twitter gets a backlash. I’ve seen Twitter tell Laborty to go f themselves. I just think it’s better to deal head on with what’s an apparent issue to people.

I mean, we’re just talking here. It was one show. It was twenty minutes. I did twenty minutes and one show. But I guess, as the famous saying goes, democracy dies a discussion.

But look, I’ve sinned against you. I’m sorry. It was never my intention to say out loud with what I saw with my own eyes.

And then Breen John was good for the ratings, not only his night, but for the…

Jordan Klepper hosted last Week for February thirteenth through the fifteenth. Klepper got four hundred and sixty one thousand same day viewers. That’s the highest mark in more than two and a half years. That includes the tail end of the Trevor Noah run and the year of nobody hosting the show. That four sixty one compares to John getting nine to seventy on Monday.

That drags the average up to five hundred and eighty eight. So, for example, if you combine my audience with John Stewart’s audience, we’re also averaging around five eighty eight. The highest RATEUS of the random year of guest host was Al Franken. Yeah, you didn’t think I was going to say that. He got four hundred and forty thousand klepper and I would have got four to twenty five.

No other guest host averaged better than four hundred thousand. Trevor Noah’s final ten weeks drew about four hundred and twelve thousand per night. DOESI Leidich as your host this week through Thursday. John Oliver is back and in the past they used to show most of the show on YouTube. There was a while where I didn’t have HBO and I would watch.

Basically they would post everything but the opening desk bit. They would post the long story, but an HBO spokesperson has confirmed to nine to five Google that HBO Max is now delaying when last week Tonight is available on YouTube. The spokesperson says the hope is those fans choose to watch the entire show on Max, you now won’t get the videos until Thursday. John Oliver himself hopes they changed their mind unquote interesting change because they’ve been doing it the other way for ten years. The big news out of this week’s show, John Oliver has offered to pay a Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a million dollars a year if he resigns from the Supreme Court.

I tried to pull the clip, but it John took about five minutes to finish off the joke, but you get the ji. John says, that’s the offer. A million dollars a year Clarence and a brand new condo on wheels. He had shown a picture of a pretty fancy truck. All you have to do is sign the contract and get the f off the Supreme Court.

A lot of f’s today, John. The clock starts now thirty days, Clarence. Let’s do this. The Guardian points out that Supreme Court justices. Make it two hundred and ninety eight five hundred dollars.

All right, Mitch Hedberg fans. I had the most amazing moment. I was at Habitburger with my daughter. She asked what kind of soda do they want? And I said doctor pepper and she said they don’t have doctor pepper.

So I looked and there was mister Pibb. Now, if you’re a Hedberg fan, you know where I’m going there. This made me laugh so much that I sent a note to Lynn Shawcroft, who is missus Mitch Hedberg, just to tell her that this happened to me in real life. So my daughter goes, I don’t know what mister pib is and I just said, didn’t get his degree. You either get the story I just told or you’re like, what the f is Johnny Mac talking about it?

But if you got it, it was wonderful because I got to use the line erin from Australia. I want to buy me a coffee dot com. She shot me a note, and boy, Aaron is correct, she writes, I always feel like the pronunciation police, So I’m buying you a coffee this time to say Lisa Lisa trigger pronounced Lisa smiley face eboji.

---

Also, Survival of the Thickest got picked up for second season FYI.

In case you’re not familiar with Survival of the Thickest, this is John talking not erin say comedy drama TV series CRO created by Michelle Buteau based on a memoir the same name. The series star is Michelle Buttow as a plus sized woman attempting to rebuild her life after a breakup. So Eron and I exchanged notes on the side. I appreciate it. Every time I say anyone’s name on this podcast, I’m terrified I’m gonna get it wrong.

Like I’ll look at John Oliver and I’m like, is it Oliver? How do you say? I do this on every single name. I’m sure I get seven wrong a week, especially with newer comedians that maybe I haven’t seen in person, but specifically Lisa and I almost did it again. I have it in my brain to make sure I checked pronunciation on that, because I used to say Liza, then I said Lisa, and then when it came up recently, I looked at it and went, oh, yeah, don’t mess this one up, and I of course did so.

Aarin you keep those notes coming. You’re like Lieutenant saffag and Star Trek two. When I’m like, there’s no such regulation, you give me a sexy vulcan eyebrown and go, oh, yes there is Lisa trigger aerin thank you for the note. Kirsty Ally’s really cute Star Trek two. I mean, let’s just be real, all right.

One more wacky one from TMZ. Larsa Pippen, former NBA star Scotty Pippen’s ex wife. You may recall Scotty Pippen was on the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan. I hopefully you don’t have to explain to Michael Jordan. Is Larsa Pippens, Scotty’s ex wife and Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael.

They’re in a relationship, and TMZ says that that relationship was put in the crosshairs during a stand up routine over the weekend, comedian Greg Wilson with the sleigh this is great. Larsa Pippen is here with Marcus Jordan looks at Larsa and says, you’re a legend. You’re the only person that’s ever managed to f up both Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan at the same time. You’re basically the greatest New York nick of all time. You should be in their ring of honor.

TMC says, I’ve got some laughs, but the vibe was a bit awkward. And that is a feisty, floaded edition of Daily Comedy News. There was so much today. I bumped two controversies to tomorrow. I can tell you already.

Tomorrow is gonna be a lot of fun. So if you join the program, tell a friend about it or share it on social media. And if I got any of the names wrong, if you’re like, it’s not Larsa, it’s Lar’s. Whatever I did wrong today, you can tell me about it. You don’t even have to go to buy me a coffee.

Dot COM’s last Daily Comedy News, you can just shoot me an email. My email is in the show notes and it’s John at theshark deck dot com. And I’m always, always, always, always happy to interact with listeners. Love hearing from you, guys. Thank you for listening, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. I haven’t used the late bot in a while, but it has gotten much better. Hello Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News from late Bot. Have you heard Donald Trump is launching his own line if Sneakers. They’re designed to get over any obstacle, unless that obstacle is releasing your tax returns.

That is a solid joke. AI. The sneakers are said to me incredibly durable. They claim to withstand impeachment processes, subpoenas, and even the occasional capitol riot. The sneakers are designed for those who love to run, run for office, run away from tax auditors, or run towards Twitter.

Congratulations to Adam Sandler, winner of the Icon Award at the People’s Choice Awards. I’m gonna play a clip for you. I had to cut it down a couple of reasons. One, it took Adam a long time to get to the stage. The person you hear speaking with him is Jennifer Aniston, and I’ve shared this clip in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.

As this goes on and on and on and on and on and on, Aniston is basically making the face that I would were I hosting the People’s Choice Awards. She’s just like, what is happening? It’s hilarious. Sandler’s not hilarious. Addison’s face is hilarious.

The audience rolls with it. So I’m gonna play a clip here and then I’ll cut it off and I’ll tell you why, Aniston, I love you so much, and she and I know you don’t love doing stuff like this, and you’re coming You’re okay. Thanks, I do too. You were fantastic. Sorry for coming up early.

I got nervous too. This is this is going to be a little humiliating. So what happened was all right. I know you should prepare a speech for a big night like this. I had one prepared on Force.

So when my agent called me and said I won the People’s Choice Icon Award, I was driving. I had him on speakerphone and I was also eating frosted flakes, and I didn’t hear I think I misheard him. I thought he said, I congratulations, Adam, you won the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive. So anyways, I wrote a speech for that, and I don’t have one prepared for the Icon thing, but I’m gonna do the speech I wrote, and because they said I got to talk a few minutes, So let’s get to it. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Adam Sandler, and I am the sexiest man alive.

Can I get a hell? Here? To the People Magazines Academy members of Hotnessing Sexual Attractiveness, I would like to say thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country to horneus this year and was by far the most talked about person individualm by couples or thruffles during fantasy role playing slappy time. Can I get another hell? Yea, I am trying to be gracious People Magazine, but I have to admit three words keep popping into my head right now about freaking time.

So Sailor then goes for another four minutes explaining what he’s going to do in the bedroom with Missus Sandler and it aired on TV. But it’s a little too naughty for this podcast. Plus enough Ready I couldn’t make it to the end of the clip. It was just diminishing returns. He went for like six minutes.

What are you doing, Adam Sandler, Icon of the Year, and be honest with me, did you find that funny. I know he does the dumb voice. I know Hollywood’s gonna go along with it unless you’re Joe Koy having your career murdered by Taylor Swift. But boy, that’s just not funny. I’m sorry, it’s not funny.

The People’s Choice Awards the Comedy Movie of the Year nominees were eighty for Brady Anyone but you? Are you there? God, it’s meet Margaret. That happened to Asteroid City, Cocaine Bear who that should have won? No Hard Feelings in Wanka the winner, Barbie of Course Comedy Movie Star of the Year.

The nominees Adam Sandler for you are so not invited to my bot mitzvah that happened? Remember that? Glenn Powell for anyone but You, Margot Robbie for Barbie, Ryan Gosling for Barbie, Scarlett Johanson Asteroid City, Sidney Sweeney anyone but you, Timothy Chellamy for Walka the winner, Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings Comedy Show of the Year. The nominees Abbott Elementary just like that. Never have I ever snl ted Lasso the Bear, Young Sheldon the winner only Murders in the Building, Comedy TV Star of the Year, Ali Wong for Beef Bow and Yang snl, Hannah Waanningham for Ted Lasso, Jason sedeikas Ted Lasso, Quinta bruntson Abbot, Selena Gomez Only Murder, Steve Martin only Murders The winner, Jeremy Allen White The Bear Comedy TV Star of the Year.

Did you watch the Bear? I love the Bear? We’re going to say that was Jeremy Allen White was the Comedic Performance of the Year, What Are We Doing? Nighttime Talk Show of the Year Kevin Hart’s Heart to Heart is currently a thing? Has anyone actually seen that?

Jimmy Kimmel, Oliver Seth Daily Show with No Host, Elly’s Show, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and the winner The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Not gonna give that to Oliver Okay. Host of the Year went to a bunch of things, but Jimmy Fallon won for That’s My Gem and the Comedy Act of the Year.

I don’t think Chris Rock was there to accept the award.

I haven’t seen anything online.

Meanwhile, in the UK at the BAFTAs, Nick Mohammad you know him from Ted Lasso.

He was explaining to the audience what would happen if there’s an emergency. The order of evacuation would be starting with me, then in order of importance, the Baptist trophies, followed by winners, nominees, publicists, everyone else, then the influencers. That joke landed well, and then he went, oh and the Royals, and then the cameras got to Prince William who found the joke funny because it is funny. And if you want to follow with the Royals lot being going on lately Harry and Megan out of a good always fun follow the podcast Palace Intrigue, where you get your shows. Sam Morrill mixing it up, taking a shot at Steven A.

Smith and I’m all for it, boy, that’d be a great war to have. Sam has called out Steven on his Twitter feed. Dan LeBatard asked Sam about this, and Sam said, Stephen a is a curse to the franchise. Stop rooting for us. I don’t want you on our side.

Anytime he calls a game we lose, go away. How could ESPN get any worse? Dude? Replace him with Richard Jefferson or JJ Reddick or someone who knows what they’re talking about. He apparently also doesn’t like Kenny Smith.

On TNT, Sam said TNTA, I love those guys, but they won’t give the Nicks props. I know what Kenny Smith is against New York, being a New York guy, but get over, dude. We’re here. No one wants us in the playoffs. We just got to get healthy cool.

Hopefully that starts a war. DL Hughley said, I would never go on Club Shaysha. That’s Shannon Sharp’s podcast, probably best known for Kat Williams scorching the entire earth. Delle was caught walking out of a building by reporters or Papa Rozzi and said, no, I haven’t spoken to Monique. Would he take anything back that he said about Monique?

And he said not one thing. She said what she said. I said what I said. We’re grown people. We don’t have to be in the same space.

But I think the idea that people need to reconcile when they’re obviously never going to see things out of eye is a bit of a fallacy. Fun Jenny Slate as a special on Amazon Prime. It’ll be out on the twenty third, which I think is Friday, right in nineteen twenty Yep, Friday. I went to pull a clip. It takes her too long to set up the joke to get to laugh, So you know, I don’t like doing those long clips on this podcast.

She spoke to The New Yorker. The New Yorker interview is kind of not the best interview ever. Right, let me leave it at that. But it opened with Jenny apologizing for her cold, and she said, I’m embarrassed about the fluid situation. I found that after COVID, the sound of fluid in the nose is a turnof for many people, which totally makes sense.

So I’m calling out that. I know that I’m gross. Grub Street falling around Mosha Casher. Grub Street will do this. They’ll ask somebody to log what they eat for a week.

I could do that, but it’d be bored. Here’s what I do donut Shane. Usually a coffee roll, smoothie, Place smoothie. Sometimes I get a buffalo wrap, and a lot of times I don’t eat dinner. But if there’s a bag of M and m’s, I’ve been known to grab a handful as I walk by.

I gotta start running again, Mosha Casher. It’s told grub Street for change of pace. I went to eat lunch at the moynihan Food Hall at Penn Station. I go with pizza. But I’m not sure if you know this, but New York is said to have the third best pizza in America after Cleveland, and of course my hometown sunny Los Angeles.

The Napple hit the West. I buy two slices at Sauce. The crust is so thin it’s reminiscent of the bread of affliction of my people. I fuld both slices like a real New York guy. That way, no one knows I’m a tourist.

While a Poundstone told the Day that she has regular ping pong parties in the backyard of her house in Santa Monica. My daughter and I added up one time how many times I’ve done them. It’s now over seventy. She cajoles the fifty attendees to compete in a ping pong tournament, and she says, because of inflation, I’ve uped the prices to one hundred dollars instead of fifty. I have a fantastic antique scoreboard from a flea market.

She says she will often done a blank name tag when I get nervous. I can’t remember names. The blank name tag is a great conversation starter, and it’s embarrassing to ask somebody who’s been to my party seventy times what their name is. Axeost had asked Josh Connoman or people from around the country shock that you grew up in the Boston suburbs, but you don’t act to talk like Bill Burr. Josh said, people almost always assume I’m from the midwestern Canada until I start talking about the Celtics.

People associate the Boston area with a very Walbergian mickismo, and they tend not to give as much notice to other folks have come here with different vibes. What does he like to eat? In Stone said, I’ve gotten a little out of the loop, but I will say the Stones was very accommodating of my recent Stoneham High School reunion, and I always trying to make time for runn At and as Takaia when I’m back in town. Al dot com is in Alabama asked Dusty Sleigh, Dusty Sligh’s your real name correct? Dusty said, it’s my real name.

I mean, some could argue that my name is a little different on my government paperwork, but I’ve always been called Dusty Sleigh by my parents and everyone, I think. He told Neil Brennan his name is Dustin. Out dot Com said with a name like that, it seems like you’re predestined to be a wrestler. Dusty said, well, I grew up watching wrestling, or wrestling as I called it. I don’t know when I started calling it wrestling and people stopped calling it wrestling, yet it happened at some point in my life.

I grew up watching that. You see all these pro wrestling promos and all those guys are talking to me, that’s cool stuff. I grew up listening to country music. I love country, and that’s where I got a lot of inspiration from. Merle Haggard is very famous for doing Workingman’s songs.

He addressed how being sober has shaped his comedy, said, it was just real clarity. It’s some real self control discipline. I mean that was the thing for me. With drinking. I never had control.

I was still doing comedy. I was still funny. In fact, I want to composition in Charleston. As a drinker. But the moment I stopped drinking, I started being able to write jokes better and faster, and I could remember them better, and just my daily walk was better in general, because as a drinker, I’m always kind of pursuing that next beer.

But when you eliminate that, then your pursuit of other things. You need to find other things to bring you fulfillment. And I didn’t lose as many friends. Nate Bergatsi’s out on tour. What can we expect to hear?

Nate said, I talk about what I would have been doing if stand up didn’t work out, stuff about my wife and my parents getting older every time. I’m older than I was when I did the last special. Yes, that is how time works, Nate. So I talk about where I’m at at my life and stuff that I’m going through. It’s fun to grow with your audience, What would you have done if you didn’t do stand up?

I was a water meter reader. I read water meters. I would have been working for that company. Probably hopefully by now I would have moved out of water meter reading and higher up, But I don’t know. Got a pressure release.

Orange Theory fitness and comedian Hannah Berner have announced Hannah’s next breakout comedy event. It is called wtf is OTF. On February twenty eighth, Hannah Burner will take the stage for a roast of the fitness industry and the many cliches and fads that come along with it. The event will take place in New York City. It’ll also livestream on TikTok.

Hanna Burner said, this wtf is OTF comedy event is gonna be epic. Expect laughs, roasts, and maybe a little sweat. I know first an what it’s like to be in a bit of a fitness limbo, and all the fads swirling around at the start of the year don’t help. What Orange Theory helped me to realize is that sweating it out doesn’t have to be too serious, and this partnership proves that while answering all of our Biggest Fitness wtfs. I’m actually planning on hitting the exercise bike right after I finished this recording.

I’ll do the edits later, hoping to do a forty five minute on Apple Fitness Plus. From Deadline Bossom, Yusef claims he lost a role in James Gunn’s Superman Legacy movie due to his public support of Palestine. During a Piers Morgan segment. Deadline says Usef taped an audition pre actor strike for the role of Rueman Harjatti, but by the time gun turned in his final version, the role was cut. That was before Yusef was on Peers Morgan.

James Gunn went on Twitter and said this is accurate, meaning that the character was cut from Superman like I say. Before the Peers Morgan interview last week, Yusef told Salon I was cast in the movie Superman. Then they told me we changed the script after this Peers Morgan interview. I want to assume good faith. I want to know, I want to believe it’s true.

I was a little bitter and I wanted to go okay, screw DC, screwed Warner Brothers. But then I understand the emotional burden that those people have. I mean, those people have a connection with Israel. I understand. Maybe the people who were in charge took that decision, looked at me and didn’t want to have me.

And maybe I understand. If I’m an Arab Muslim, I was the head of Warner Brothers, I wouldn’t want a pro Zionist or a pro Israel to be in my movie. If he attacked people, I understand. This is the thing we need to dissect. When I attack Israel, I attack its policy.

I’m not attacking Jewish people. A source close to the situation tells Deadline this is probably a case of he said, he said, who knows. If you want a new special to watch today, this one on OTT You can rent this one. It is Mary Basmajian’s funny Armenian girl. Mary’s living that old USA Network motto characters welcome, specifically the outspoken Bartouche.

Her take on the quintessential Armenian aunt. Bartousche is a large part of how Mary grew her online following. So we’ll naturally make an appearance on the special alongside more conventional stand up about online dating and Bonnie image. And that is your comedy news for today. Check out five Good News Stories.

I’m having a lot of fun hosting that one. Number five Good News Stories. That one comes out Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Today’s Tuesday. But it doesn’t mean the other episodes aren’t there. It’s not like you can only listen on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

And if you enjoy this program, tell a friend about it or share it with them or something like that, and I’ll see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. I’m in a good mood. It just recorded a couple episodes of Five Good News Stories is the other podcast? I host five stories, all of the good number five Good News Stories, and it just put me in a great mood. It was just a fantastic story about a dinosaur.

Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see Trump had multiple court appearances? Stephen Colbert said, it’s like any other political story. It’s all a horse race. But this horse race, one of the horses is old.

The other horse is old, has a hoof and mouth to seize and keeps quoting Horse Hitler. Fallon has said it’s never good when you’re summoned a court and you’re like, I can’t I have court Colbert, the only way to follow all the action was to have multiple TVs. That’s why I watched all the proceedings at a Buffalo Wild Wings Jimmy Kimmel. Between the one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to Stormy Daniels and the one hundred and fifty thousand of Karen McDowall, no one in history has ever paid this much for thirty five combined second of six. I’m an idiot.

I thought Shane Gillis was hosting SNL two days ago. Apparently they took two weeks off in a row. Usually they do three on one off Shane is this week. Well, that explains why there wasn’t any press. Johnny Mac, you dope.

But the good news for me is that means this week there will be pressing controversy, and I love controversy. So let’s all argue about Shane Gillis all week. Good for the downloads. George Santos has sued Jimmy Kimmel. Santos had received requests from individuals and businesses to his cameo.

Unbeknownst to Santos, Jimmy Kimmel submitted at least fourteen requests that used phony names and narratives. According to the complaint, the videos were played in a segment called will Santos Say It? In one of the clips, Santos offers congratulations to the purported winner of a beef eating contest, calling the feet of consuming six pounds of loose ground beef in under thirty minutes amazing and impressive. An attorney for Santos said, frankly Kimmel’s fake requests were funny, but what he did was clear violation of copyright law. Santos is seeking seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in damages for the five videos.

He also asks for other damages to be determined at trial. We’ll keep an eye on this one. I forget where I saw this one. I don’t know if I Twitter, ad or Facebook or something for it, but a comedy show for Robert F. Kennedy Junior’s campaign.

This from their website directly joined Tim Dillon, Bobby Lee, and Rob Schneider for an Unforgettable Night of Laughter with Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Cheryl Hines this week Wednesday at the Million Dollar Theater in Downtown LA. The copy tells us this is sure to be a hilarious knight that you won’t want to miss. The stunning and hysterical Cheryl Hines will mc the night, which will include the comic genius of Tim Dillon, Rob Schneider, Trey Stewart, Mike Binder, Erica Rhodes, Bobby Lee, D’s the Nava, Adam Carolla, and other surprise guests. If you want to go one hundred and fifty dollars get to the comedy show, one thousand dollars to get to the comedy show with preferred seating in the after party, fifteen hundred dollars for the comedy show with seating in the first few rows, and the after party.

They tell us the after party will be the place to be. Mingle with the candidate, Cheryl Hines, the comics and special guests enjoy a cool vibe, scrumptious bites, cocktails and more. Very interesting. Ellen DeGeneres coming back to stand up comedy. She did a surprise set in Los Angeles and said you’ll see it soon enough.

She jumped on the stage at Largo as part of Beth Stelling’s Beth and Pal’s show.

Also in that lineup, listen to the Pals Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Adie B…

I’m not familiar with Anthenya. This is all very contrived. Degenerus created some buzz. She shared on Instagram a video that happened to be shot where she jumped out of a car with wife Portia de Rossi. In the clip, the couple hops out of a car and Allan throws up her hands and yells, here we are.

We’re told some audience members even leaped from their seats. Yeah, they didn’t just like stand up quickly, they leaped from their seats. Interesting anyway, Ellen was a good stand up, so I’m happy to have her back. I’m catching up on my podcasts. I’m actually recording this on Sunday.

Usually I do the Monday show on Friday afternoon. I was listening to Craig Ferguson and weird Al this morning. I also want to finish off listening to Dusty Sleigh on Blocks, and I saw Neil Brannan’s Blox podcast. I mean, I got to get There’s a whole bunch of stuff there. He also had weird Al.

It’s a couple of Jimmy Carr episodes I want to check out. So I just need to sit down and play video games, listen to podcasts. I tried doing that on Saturday, and guess what got me. The sleepy chair. Do you know about the sleepy chair?

So this is this chair and if I sit in it, I will fall asleep one hundred percent of the time, one hundred percent every single time I fall asleep in the chair. And I know this is going to happen, but yesterday’s chair nap wasn’t the usual twenty minutes. It was two hours, so not much podcasting got listened to. I’ll see what happens today after I do some podcasting work. Anyway, shut up.

John Craig Ferguson had weird al on and I actually pulled two of the clips. I like this story he tells about here. I’ll just let him tell what would spoil it. The schools had also fame. I didn’t know either if I was talking to Vetnicole Brown about it.

Here’s this will annoy you as much as annoyed me. Vetnicole Brown went to the same school as our senior Holl. And their school has a Hall of Fame. And they have a hole, which, you know, like the gym, like the gymnasium is a hole, and they named the hall. Now remember our senior Hall went to this this.

I’m with you, Vet Nicole Brown hole. I’m like you, oh my god. And here’s another really funny anecdote from the Drew Carrey Show that I liked. I had my laser surgery, so I wasn’t doing the glasses and the mustache anymore, and the producers insisted that I have the glasses and the mustache otherwise, how are they gonna you know? They did the same with Drew Drew on that show.

He got lasix and he lost like forty pounds and they used to make wear a FATS really seasons. I was like, he’s coming in, Like I got on and put the glasses on, so they knew it was Drew carry but he had lost the way. I don’t feel so bad now. I also didn’t have to wear a FATS. I wasn’t English either.

I had to plan to be English. He was a mess. It’s a mess, you gotta do it. Yeah. I had the pleasure of working with Craig Ferguson.

He came up too serious to do something for Radio Classics. I’ll tell you in person that dude is handsome, good looking guy, very funny, very personable. We started doing something and he was really into the Radio Classics. He was so into it that he came back at the next day and did some improv stuff with one of our hosts that we turned into a special for the Radio Classics. He was just awesome to work with, really enjoyed.

Craig and I’ve shared before every time I think of weird Al. We were going to do weird Al Radio. My host Mark actually went out to I guess, Los Angeles and recorded with weird Al at weird Al’s house. Weird Alt recorded all these raps and we’re going to do a weekend station of weird Al Radio to promote Al’s album.

---

And then the record company and the bosses were in some sort of disagreement …

It’s a shame that special never happened. And I don’t think any of us that were involved with that still work there, so I bet it’s long gone and lost to history. What a shame. Hey, Roy Wood Junior, you got to let it go. Man, they’re not giving you the daily show.

I don’t know how clear they can make that to you. I’m sorry you’re not getting it. Roy was on Mike Bury Bigley as Working It Out podcast Verbigly a joke that Roy planted the Hassan Minha story in The New Yorker. Roy said, that’s literally while everything fell apart, and laughed. As far as I was told Hassan was going to be the guy, would said his an initial reaction was okay, cool, So I’ll hang on here for the rest of the year.

We’ll see what Hassan wants to do, what his vision is, whether I fit in that. I’m still trying to sell my own Sitcom’m trying to write movies. There’s other stuff I want to do. But let’s see. The New York article comes out and there’s a buzz that there’s a shift in Comedy Central whether or not Hassan’s still going to be the guy, which eventually turned into he’s not going to be the guy.

I have not seen Life in Beth and I’m unlikely to watch it, but apparently Jimmy Buffett has a cameo on it, and I’m a big Jimmy fan. Amy said she listened to Jimmy Buffett’s music growing up. She said it just made me feel like everything was going to be okay. She was friends with Jimmy Interesting Juamer says, one time we were hanging out and I said, you know, we’re shooting in New Orleans. Oh my god, imagine if you were on the show Jimmy said I would do it.

Amy says I thought he’s just saying that, but he didn’t waiver. In the episode, Jimmy picks up an acoustic guitar and Kacky Schortz and sings, I will play for Gumbo from his album Beach House on the Moon. That is a good tune. Beth drops some money in his guitar case for his performance. A title card at the end of the episode reads and loving memory of Jimmy Buffett, who got his start busking on the streets of New Orleans.

Michael Sarah said a crowd formed across the street while they were shooting, and says, I don’t even think they knew it was Jimmy Buffett. Apparently folks like the Adam Saylor episode. On Saturday, Friend of the Show, Scott Beckett went to buy me a coffee dot com slash a Daily Comedy News me not one, not two, not three, not four, but five large iced coffees with caramel and milk. That’ll get me to like Wednesday afternoon to be going twice a day. Scott wrote, listen to the Sailor episode Wow Amazing.

I was unaware of the nuance of his particular. Ouvra more more more, with exclamation points after each more, Scott Man, you want me to say nice things about Adam Sandlor movies for another full episode. I’d rather go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Scott Beckett buy you five coffees than do that. But I’ll do this one for you. Johann or no.

Johan Rank is the director of the upcoming Adam Sandler Spaceman movie. He spoke to the Hollywood reporter, Johann said, Uh, it’s Johann. I could do that whole thing over, but you got I like to leave in the mistakes. I just I feel like it makes a connection. Do I clean up the show and edit out the stumbles.

Yeah, But when I do major stupid things like this, I like to leave it at just see you and I can connect, Johann Rank tells a Hollid reporter. When I look at this film now, and I look at Adam Sandler’s performance, it’s phenomenal. He was hanging there on wires, and he’s no spring chicken anymore. And he’s not a gymnast or a bodybuilder no way. And he’s hanging in midair acting against a tennis ball with me around the corner reading lines.

Then you look at the film and see the profound curiosity in his eyes, the bafflement, all these subtle details, all is acting against a tennis ball. I’d come home every day after the shoot feeling tremendously frustrated because I only had one half the movie. It took months and months as we created the creature, did the voice, everything. Through it all, what kept on baffling me was this tremendous strength in Adam Sailor’s performance. I love Adam.

He’s the best human being on the planet. He’s a tremendous actor, formidable and amazing. This film would not exist in any shape or form without him. Spaceman will be on Netflix March first. It is getting a eliminated theatrical release.

That way it qualifies for awards, a guess, So like I’m in New Jersey. There is a screening Thursday the twenty second at the Nighthawk Cinema Prospect Park in Brooklyn at seven fifteen to ten. If you can’t wait to say this thing, that’s the nearest one to me. So you know, Limited believes that way of quality. But it’s really a Netflix film.

And Scott, that’s probably the best I’m gonna be able to do anytime soon. But I didn’t say anything, Caddy there. I don’t think great. Okay, thank you for the coffee. I will I roll this next one.

I want to cancel this one before we even make it. It’s a caveman comedy called rock Bottom, and it stars the voices of Rob Schneider and Gabriel Iglesias. There’s No Way That’s good. Rock Bottom follows the story of Gung Go, an over confident air to the chieftain’s throne. After his banishment, he finds himself leading a motley cruve outcast to reclaim his rightful place and guide his tribe toward a prosperous future, learning lessons about unity, resilience, and the true meaning of strength along the way.

There’s no way this is good, a suit says, rock Bottom will be an exhilarating ride into a prehistoric world. This film isn’t just about laughs. It’s about challenging our perceptions of individuality, self worth, and what is the glue that makes a community thrive? Mmm Natural Comedy News for Today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it, or share it.

On social media, or I don’t know, tick your ear, but it’s in their ears while it’s already playing. No, you probably can’t do that, right, You can’t touch people, don’t do that. Play it loudly near them on your own speaker. All these are terrible ideas, John, Just shut up, all right, See tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Chilly Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Pretty robust for a Sunday. I did the saidlor thing yesterday, so that bumps some of the stuff to today. I mentioned the end of Friday’s episode.

Some people thought Amy Schumer looked different. She has now addressed it on Instagram. Amy Schumer said, you’re right, it is puffy or than normal right now meeting her face. I have entremetriosis, an autoimmune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now, but I’m okay.

Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face. I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance, as all women do for almost twenty years. She goes on to say she doesn’t think she or any woman should have to explain their appearance, but that she wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in like every other woman slash person. Some days I feel confident and good as hell, and others I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong and beauty and so proud of this TV show I created, wrote, start in and directed.

Maybe, just maybe we can focus on that for a little while. While she was making one of the appearances, this one on Jimmy Fallon, she said, it’s hard to go on the tour right now because who are we competing with? Who’s been filling up our feeds? Beyonce and Taylor Swift. She said she loves both of them and has seen them both in concert and jokes, I can’t compete with this.

Why can’t I have backup dancers? The Podcast Academy has announced one hundred and ninety two nominees across twenty seven categories, as well as a Governor’s Award and an Impact Award. As podcasting gets out of control, what are we even doing? Folks? These ceremonies will be March twenty six that the J W.

Marriott La Live, Los Angeles. The nominees for Best Comedy Podcast are Bad Dates, Conan O’Brien needs a friend, How did this get made? Let’s make a rom com Love it or leave it? The Big Flop and wait, wait, don’t tell me. For whatever it’s worth, if you go to Apple Podcasts, the comedy shows are Joe Rogan, John Stewart, call Her Daddy, Smortless Conan, Theo Vaughn, The Toast Giggly Squad with Hannah Berner, The Commercial Break and Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast with Shane Gillis, Andrews Santino and Bobby Lee at number eleven, Bert and De Sigora at twelve.

So obviously the podcast Awards have their pulse on what people are actually listening to. You know, what people are actually listening to. They’re listening to Neil Brennan’s Blocks at least Richard is, because he’s shot me a note in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group that was one hell of a segue, Johnny Man, you did that kind of nicolator, right, Richard knows I dig at Dusty Sleigh. So I ran it through my little transcription machine. I haven’t finished listening to it.

So what I do is when one of these comes up, I run it through the transcription, and then as I listened to it, I kind of keep notes of like, oh, yeah, thirty six minutes, you want to get the part where they said blah blah blah blah blah. But since I haven’t actually listened to it, just reading the transcript. I don’t know what to look for, but the part I listened to you explain that way too long, John, I know, I know they were discussing at Dusty’s catchphrase we’re having a good time, and how it works best when Dusty is bombing. He said, that’s where it came from. I was doing a show at a pizza place in New York City.

I want to know more about that. Why is there a comedy show at a pizza place in New York City? And to find pizza place, I’m from New York City. If you tell me pizza place, I’m picturing a a store front that has the shape of a shoe box, but you know, bigger, and I don’t know why you would have comedy there. You know, there’s probably on the wall of the ovens, there’s probably two tables, and on the other wall there’s four tables.

And they were made of that porcelain wipe down stuff you can get the pizza grease off. This Dusty Sleigh performing on a crate in the back corner. Like, what’s going on there? Anyway? He said, I was doing a show at a pizza place.

We used to use the term pizza parlor. Do people still say pizza parlor? Pizza place in New York City? And I was just not doing well, and I kept saying, we’re having a good time. And the more I said it, the more the people got into the show.

I just can’t get over there. I’m googling Dusty Slay Pizza, New York, and I want to see what comes up. Nothing came up. What if I google comedy pizza, New York? What comes up?

Nothing? All right? One more try Pizza Rhea Comedy show, New York. Well, there was something called comedy Night at Da Vinci Pizza back in September of twenty three? Could it have been?

There? Are we on a major tangent? Get back to the show? John, Okay, I was hearing a show at a pizza place of New York City. I was just doing it well.

And when I kept saying we’re having a good time where I said, the more people got of the show. Neil Brannan said. An old man named Dave Chappelle one said to me, you can tell how funny someone is by how they bomb and Dusty slid. I think that’s right. I never thought of that, but yeah, that’s right.

And I find if you move around awkwardly to such your glasses enough, your hat, your face, your nose. People will be like, this guy’s weird. But I’m into what he’s doing. I’m glad they brought that up because when I was watching Dusty’s special, currently the number one special of twenty twenty four, I noticed he was very twitchy. Dusty said, I watched videos of myself.

I think, oh, man, stop waving so much. But when I’m up there, it feels fun. I’m into it. Tag Nataro, we’ll have a special out on Amazon on Prime Video. March twenty sixth, they released a trailer.

I did my usual thing where I go to pull the audio and it took Tig. In the clip, they picked over a minute to get to the punchline, and I’m like, that’s just going to drag the podcast to a halt. So you can find it somewhere. It’s called Hello Again. You’ll find the clip on the interwebs.

We are told that Tig Nataro’s Hello Again is packed with delightfully awkward misunderstandings, health scares made hilarious, and family moments with her wife and children that are simultaneously side splitting and heartwarming. Nataro finds humor in situations ranging from the every day to the bizarre, A crafting comedy out of hallucinatory text messages, a botch meeting with a Hollywood heavyweight, and a late night encounter with a mustached fireman who has her questioning everything. M Tignazoro, Hello again, March twenty sixth on your Amazon Prime Video. John Mulaney two waited to all fans in Portland and Bangor. I’m sorry that Pete Davidson and I could not find a day to make those shows work.

But I’ll be through main soon. I hope to see then. If you haven’t already, please go to your point of purchase to receive a full refund. Thanks y’all. Bill Maher is on tour.

He’s calling his tour the WTF Tour, which I just find odd because when I see the letters WTF and I’m in a comedy mood, I think of Mark Maren. Why did you call your tour that? You have to know? Mark Maren calls his thing WTF. What a weird choice by Bill Mooh.

Bill recently revealed he has a two hour interview with Kanye West, but it will likely never be released. Bill said he found Kanye’s political views too quote problematic to share on the podcast. Bill didn’t specify what Kanye talked about, but he did refer to the rapper as a charming anti Semite. Hey, Kathy Griffin, what can we expect from your show? She tells the Cans in Okay.

First of all, my shows are highly improvisational. For example, when I got cancer, I was like, first of all, I don’t even smoke, but they’re started to come some comedy out of cancer. First of all, I thought, if you got cancer, everybody treat you really well and you can behave badly. So for example, I’ll use the cancer card like a beast. If I can’t get a reservation, no boo, I’ll call them and say it’s Kathy, my cancer’s back, which isn’t true.

But I’m not above playing the cancer card for a good table at a restaurant like that. And she addressed Dave Chappelle and said, I feel like for a comic, continue to punch up. I love Dave Chappelle. I think it’s genius. Why the f is he talking about trans people for the third fing special in a row.

I think Dave is a genius, But I also think it’s transphobic. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. You’re a black man punching down at a community that has the highest murder suicide rate in the world, so I kind of feel like you shouldn’t. That’s a simple rule for not getting canceled. Enjoy what I do here.

You can go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I will take your money and I will drive past the donuts chain. I’m on a smoothie kick. I’ll go into the smoothie place. They have this beach blast as it called.

I know, it’s like a raspberry thing with some dark chocolate. I tend against that, and that is a full four hundred fewer calories than the peanut butter chocolate one that I like. But Johnny Max, stop marathon training and the pans they’re coming back. You know what I’m saying, Why are you going to a smoothie place at all? It’s better than donuts.

Find me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. A Minnesota comedian is overcoming a disability and making a name for himself on the stand up circuit. That’s from Fox nine. He’s Sam Bondus. He says, when we mishear people, we have our go to phrases.

Because I’m deaf, I have two. The first one is that’s funny. Yeah. My poor mom, her hearing’s gone. She’ll ask me about my friends.

She’ll be like, how’s Mike in Cleveland? And if I say, oh, yeah, Mike and a frog rented a helicopter. They went to Hawaii and when skiing, she’ll go oh. Sam felt comfortable on stage at a young age. He tells a story where he was at a camp for the deaf and heart of hearing.

I made a whole bunch of my deaf peers laugh off one joke and I was like, Wow, that feels great. I want to do more of that. He does some crowd work. For example, he asked somebody in the audience what’s your name, and then respond to us if he can’t hear the answer. One challenge of performing sometimes his hearing aids give out.

He has to reboot them during a show. He helps to turn stand up into a career. He says, a lot of comedians want like a Netflix special All now, that’d be great, but I just want to do step one right now, make money off this. Sounds like a cool guy. And that is your comedy news for today.

Hey, if you like this show, why don’t you check out the other show I host. It’s called Five Good News Stories. Number five Good News Stories that comes out three times a week Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I tell you five stories that are either good news or just so silly that you have to laugh at them.

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 Mac 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. If you made enough of donation, I would do an entire episode about Adams Sailor movies, and I would only say good things. That will be Saturday’s episode on this very here podcast feed. I’m about to record it.

So unless there’s some mysterious curveball in my life in the next five or so minutes, I’m going to record it. That’ll be Saturday. Thank you Liz for the donation. 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.

This year’s show hosted by Steve Sharippa. I know Steve pretty well. Good guy. I’ve got some Shrippa stories. I’m always fun to work with.

Steve Shripper a really good guy. Say’s your hosts the comedians Bill Burr, Michael Jay Christas, Stefano, Jim Gaffigan, Heather McMahon, Sam Morrell, and John Stewart. This will be at Madison Square Garden March twenty seventh. Tickets go on sale Friday at ten am. All net proceeds go to the Garden of Dreams Foundation.

I did think it interesting that I named those comedians right, includes Burr and Gaffigan and Sam Morrell and John Stewart. And the person that got the quote from was Christa Stefano. 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.

Caloroga 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.
