The Shark Deck, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy who has a lot of quick hits Today, Kyle Canaan records his next special at the ACME Comedy Club in Minneapolis. Starts tonight. I’ll also record tomorrow and Saturday. Canaan has one of the best specials of the year Right now. I have him as the number three special of the year, behind number two Toms Agora and I Told Yesterday Todd Berry’s domestic short here hilarious and funniest by a mile weird one here from TMZ, Peta selling Pete Davidson Halloween costume inspired by unhinged voicemail the story.
A source close to Pete says it’s disgusting to capitalize on someone’s mental health and not to mention illegal use of his likeness. According to TMZ, PETA’s limited edition costume comes with a paper mask of Pete’s face and I should have adopted hoodie and a hat with a censored curse word plastered on it. All this refers to Pete Davidson’s profanity lays telephone rant after Pete called out Pete Davidson for buying a pet store puppy instead of one from a shelter. It also comes with a plush dog wearing a shelter’s dog rule bandana. The whole thing goes for ninety nine.
Ninety nine proceeds go toward spay and neuter surgeries to help combat the overpopulation of homeless dogs. According to PETA, over seventy million dogs and cats are homeless in the United States. Wow, that’s a crazy number, seventy million.
Meanwhile, another weird one involving Pete Davidson from m Live.
They write, despite ending a second show earlier in the week, Pete Davidson has canceled the second show that he just added the original story due to overwhelming demand. During in August twenty nine pre sale, Pete Davidson added a second Kalamazoo stop onto his tour, and it was for the same night as the first. The second show was added for ten o’clock. Pete was going to play at seven. The ten o’clock show has now been canceled.
Officials did not elaborate on why Pete canceled the second show, citing a scheduling conflict. I’m wondering how much overwhelming demand there actually was. Maybe they sold, you know, four tickets and we’re like, maybe not. Pete is still doing the seven o’clock Show on Saturday, October twenty first at the Kalamazoo State Theater. That is currently scheduled to be the final show of the Pete Davidson Live Tour.
Collider watched Shane Gillis’s new special on Netflix. It is going to take me a minute to get to it. Tonight. There’s football tomorrow night. There’s a new video game called Starfield.
I want to play this weekend. I’m a celebrating Langston Kerman’s fake birthday. It’s a little call back there for those of either pay attention. Sunday more football Monday, I teach, So it’s Tuesday before I get to watch this thing. But they liked it.
Deciders said, it’ll remind you of a kinder, softer Bill Burr, wanting to tease and test his audience, but always striving to maintain his likability whenever he makes jokes about race, such as his suggestion that white Americans stopped being cool when they first saw Jackie Robinson play for the Dodgers, or when Shane calls anything quoting from the article here a gay or restarted unquote He’s quick with a smile and an acknowledgment that he knows he’s transgressing. He has the self awareness to play both sides of the aisle. At one point, he mocks his love of history is a sign of early on set. Republican decider says, stream it and then wonders what SNL would have been like had they actually kept Shane Gillis. Remember he was announced to be on the cast and then somebody deep dived on the internet and then Lauren was like, nah, that all happen.
Shingills is doing okay. Jimmy Fallon did indeed do his thing with the Rolling Stones.
And now they taught us in radio school never assume people know things.
So I’m going to tell you who Mick Jagger is. Mick Jagger is the lead singer of a rock band called the Rolling Stones. You know who I’m talking about. You’ve heard of Mick Jagger. Yes, yes, Mick Jagger said, we got to make a record that we really love ourselves.
We’re pleased with it, and I hope you are all two. The new record has twelve tracks, two of them written by Charlie Watts, who passed away a while back. They released a single called Angry. Angry came with a video that stars actress at Sydney Sweeney, which brings us back to Jimmy Fallon, who asked Sidney Sweeney while crossed her mind when she got the call to star in the video. Sidney Sweeney said, oh gosh, I mean I freaked out and called my family and brought my mom.
Fallon and Jagger also shared an Instagram post we see them reading newspapers at the Old Ship Inn in Hackney, London. Eddie Murphy has a new movie. It’s called Candy Kane Lane that’ll come to Amazon Prime Video December first. Candy Kane Lane follows Eddie Murphius Chris, a man who’s determined to win his neighborhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. This sounds like an Adam Saidler type thing, doesn’t it.
After unintentionally striking a deal with an elf to improve his odds of winning, she cast a spell bringing to life the twelve Days of Christmas and chaos and sues for the old Town Christmas. Then worked to save Christmas for his family and community, and endeavor that entails battling magical creatures. Adam Sandler added Ja Pass on this one. This one also stars Ken Marino, Nick Offerman, and Chris read Vania Land caught up with Eliza’s Lessenger, who said Boston is one tough mffer of a city because it’s the East Coast that it’s cold. People are tough, but they’re warm and loving.
When fans give me Boston gifts and tell me Boston loves you in that familiar accent, I feel like I’m home, even if I never paid taxes there. It’s definitely not something I’d take for granted to be able to feel at home. And only a few cities across the country, and Boston is definitely one of them. If I were talking to my younger self, I would say try to enjoy cities more. I started doing stand up before uber was a thing, so taking a cab wasn’t always the easiest thing.
But when you can really get it’s a place, when you’re not too hungover or tired to explore a city, from farmers markets and upcoming suburbs to eating the food that’s from that city, it really makes you a better traveler for when you get a real feel for a place. The Wall Street Journal did an article about Spotify’s podcasting efforts. In that we learned that they’re paying Trevor Noah four million dollars. Now it’s unclear if that’s four million dollars a year or four million dollars for the next hundred years, but it’s four million dollars. The Journal calls it a deal that allows the company to collect revenue from the podcast to cover its investment.
After that, both sides share the take. That’s pretty standard. Maria Bamford’s book Sure I’ll Join Your Cult is out, and Maria is pretty open about sharing things, including how much she got paid by Gallery Brooks, which is an imprint of Simon and Schuster. She got fifty thousand dollars up front, another fifty thousand dollars once the book was published, so kitching that’s in the bank now, and then another fifty thousand if it gets a paperback edition. Maria spoke about her earlier career and said, I was at Nickelodeon for a year and I was voted employee of the Month the same month I got fired.
Being fired, I want a voice over role on Nickelodeon’s series Cat Dog. They gave me a severance of two months with pay, and after that I was able to move to a nicer neighborhood, get a dog, and begin earning more from stand up than from temping. But I’d still do anything for cash. I’ve answered phones for comedy development executives right after having pitch meetings with them. I worked eight hours at NBC four reception after doing the Tonight show the night before.
The weatherman walked by and said, you were on Leno last night and kept walking. The gradual change in being a full time performer took about as long as it took me to pay off my medical debt eight years. Bad news. If you’re enjoying How I Met Your Father, it is canceled. The Hulu series ended its second season in July.
We never found out how Hilary Duff’s character met your father if you never watched it. It’s set in the same version of New York as the original series. Some of the characters live in the apartment formerly occupied by Ted and Marshall in the original. By the way, Jason Seagull is fantastic in the Lakers show that I was talking about yesterday. That show is called Winning Time.
Jason Segull awesome. Adrian Brodie as pat Riley.
Also Awesome I Digress How I Met Your Father also featured guest appearances …
I’ve been on Gossip Corner in a while. The Hollywood Reporter says that Chris Rock was at Beyonce’s show on Monday night in La. Some other famous folks there, Adele Lizzo, Katie Perry, Kate Hudson, and Chloe Kardashian.
Meanwhile, Pete Davidson on Gossip Corner.
He apparently has broken up with Chase. Suite Wonders and Insider told people that Pete’s single again and he’s out and about doing really well. Over the weekend, Pete attended his friend’s wedding in Virginia. He was spotted in several photos. Pete was spotted wearing a dashing black and white suxedo while also dressing down in a white T shirt, black pants and matching shoes.
I have one of those links I haven’t clicked on yet. It’s from Jord Barker. It’s the twenty five greatest stand up comedians of all time. They say, presented in no particular order, Okay, I’m going to click on this. I’m very very afraid what they came up with.

I won’t do it again. Dick Gregory’s an interesting pick. Don Rickles, Okay, you know what you’re talking about. Bob Newhart, Red Fox. David Tell a Tell is really really good if you’ve ever seen him live and he’s just doing crowd work.
Stephen Right definitely influential. Mort’s Saul. Do you guys know? Mort is a legendary political comedian and satirist known for literally taking comedy right from the headlines, as they often had a newspaper with him on stage to mind material. Bill Cosby makes the list.
Very complicated history there with mister Cosby. But you know, until recently he was always at the very top of every list. Let’s move on. Jerry Seinfeld, sure, Mitch Hedberg, Steve Martin, m According to Jord Barker. Steve Marton claims that he did stand up for eighteen years and only four of them were a wild success.
I don’t know about putting Steve Martin on this list. I’d have to think about it some more. Joan Rivers, Yes, Dave Chappelle, yep, he’s been top of the game for decade now. Chris Rock for sure, Mom’s mably respect Lenny Bruce, who started modern stand up, Eddie Murphy, Wellfettie’s on here, Prior better be on here. George Carlin next, and yep, Richard Pryor now looking at their phrasing, the twenty five greatest stand up Comedians.
Bomb Hope was really good at stand up, so I would definitely have him on the list without looking. I’m trying to think if anyone jumps to mine that belongs on here. Kennison is a favorite of mine, but he was a shooting star, but then again was so It was Headberg, Jeff Foxworthy, Jay Leno was really good Okay, not the worst, less but Patriso, Neil Tignataro no.
