Was just it was so much fun to do.
Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily comedy. And it was pretty busy for a Friday, especially it was a slow wee Pete Davison making international news. Even though this happened in the States, I saw this in the Independence a British tabloid. Pete Davison fans defend comedian for walking off stage in Omaha after relentless heckling. One fan said, just absolutely absurd.
You’re ruining it for the whole show. Pete was performing at Steelhouse in Omaha’s part of the prehab tour. Audience members refused to quiet down and continue to shout things like Ariana Grande. One Reddit fan said, good on Bete for disciplining the petulant audience that showed up like an attention seeking three year old demanding their presence. Noticed while the adults talk wasn’t the time, They wrote, truly disappointing a Pete Davidson fan using words like petulant okay.
Another one wrote, one of the crappier things I personally heard was when Pete mentioned he had one more joke to deliver before setting us off. At this point, some lady near my seats yelled, oh, you’ve got a joke. On YouTube, fan Caitlin asked where the f did decorum go at events because he shouldn’t have to walk off stage, because you guys don’t understand that. Because you see crowd work on TikTok, you think every comedia needs to be heckled to the point that they leave stage with one joke left. It’s absurd.
You’re ruining it for the whole show. That’s rotten. There’s a topic, has CrowdWork ruined comedy. I’m scheduled to do an interview with Dan Bublitz, a friend of the show. I’m going to ask him that question.
Matt Riife called off some shows in Bloomington on Wednesday night, citing a medical emergency. WTHR reports. Rife was scheduled to perform at the IU Auditorium, but on social media shortly after seven point thirty, Rife wrote, Indiana, I’m so bleeping sorry, but due to a last minute medical emergency, I have to reschedule our shows tonight again. I’ll come back to that. I’ve been doing forty plus shows a month for a year and a half and never had to do something like this.
I’m so so sorry. I hope you understand, and I love you so much. The show that was canceled this week was originally scheduled for February fourteenth. Raife announced that schedule change two days before the show, It’s WHR reports. Despite Rife’s wording of rescheduling, the May twenty ninth show, seems to be canceled, per a release from the I Auditorium.
We’ll keep an eye on that one. Dave Chappelle last night was doing another one of those pop up shows in Africa. He was set to perform in Kigali, a quote reliable source told The New Times. I hope they don’t have unreliable sources. But the reliable source told The New Times that Dave Chappelle was going to perform at high end restaurant Coozo, Kigallie.
The show was going for two hundred thousand local currencies whatever r WF is, making it the most expensive concert to attend in the history of Rwanda. Sarah Silverman has said that she has changed her comedy because of Donald Trump. She’s on David Ducovny’s Fail Better podcast. As Sarah said, it wasn’t a conscious like, Hey, that stuff doesn’t work, so I’m going to go a different way. I think I just very naturally started changing.
She said. In her two thousand and five Jesus’s Magic special, she was totally doing a character, and that character carried on in my Comedy Central show, The Sarah Silverman Program. Character is just an arrogant, ignorant You know, and so having Trump win, not that to carry through all the way up until Trump was elected, but especially when Trump was elected, and how the world changed in that way, that character was no longer really amusing to me because he embodies that completely. It wasn’t like, Wow, the audience isn’t laughing at my racist jokes anymore. Comedies are, you know.
And just like a painting on a wall in the museum, if you go and see it every single day, it changes because your life changes, your experience has change, and the world around as completely changes, and so what you’re seeing is going to be inferred with a whole new set of perspective. And you know, I learned this pretty early on that comedy really dies on the second guessing of your audience, and that you have to stay with what is funny to you. In some ways, much of our older comedy doesn’t hold up anymore because it comes from white privilege. One of those things in question is Sarah infamously did Blackface. She discussed watching the recent We Are the World documentary that featured Prince winning an American Music Award for Best Black Artist.
Sarah said, I was stunned that that was an award and stunned that. I’m sure I watched it in nineteen eighty four and thought nothing of it, and if anything, I thought it was inclusive. Of course, that’s absurd. Just goes to show that as much as we think we’ve progressed and as woke as we are in this current moment, we’re gonna go back and look at oh god, we had Best Actress and Best Actor awards, you know whatever. We see things in a whole new way that we don’t see right now.
Recent Jerry Seinfelder interviewed the one from this week Still getting Buzz. Variety picked up on Jerry Nutt caring that you didn’t like the Pop Tarts movie. He said, the only thing I want to read the absolute worst reviews the movie received, because there’s nothing funnier to me than people complaining that they didn’t laugh. Today, I’ve got my good half haff Jerry Seinfeld didn’t have it the other day. They want to laugh.
I related it. I get it. It’s funny that you hated it because he wanted to laugh and you didn’t laugh. It’s funny. It doesn’t matter what you think of me.
Why would I think I’m gonna make something that I everyone to like, what sense does that make you have to be insane? Anything like that? Jay Leno spoke to Fox. Jay Leno says comedy hasn’t changed. We talked about jay Leno in my interview with Mark Melcoff.
I can’t wait to share it with you. It’s so good. Sign up for the premium feed. You can hear it now. Comedy hasn’t changed.
It’s exactly the same thing. It doesn’t change. Things come in and out. If I showed you a Rudolph Valentino movie from the twenties, you wouldn’t think it was sexy. You think, oh my god.
But if I showed you Buster Keaton falling off a building, it would be just as funny now as it was then. So comedy doesn’t really change a whole lot. He was asked about the roast of Tom Brady again, if it’s really funny, all bets are off See. The trouble is only when it’s inappropriate, not funny, Then people go, oh, now I’m offended. I’m offended because a it’s not funny, because it’s inappropriate.
Then they’ll go, it’s inappropriate, but it’s really funny, he said. Nikki Glaser killed me. She was really funny. A lot of people might say it’s inappropriate, but if it’s really funny makes it okay. I’m not a big roast person.
It’s not something I do. But it’s just a different kind of comedy and it’s fine. It’s good. From the Late Night Our website, James Austin Johnson dressed up as Bob Dylan the other day to mark Bob Dylan’s eighty third birthday. Johnson brought his impression of Bob Dylan to Washington Square Park.
James said he made up a theme time at Radio Hour That’s Bob’s old radio show for Bob Dylan’s birthday at Washington Square Park. In the clip, Johnson as Dylan wax his poetic on things like baseball games, suntan lotion, and carnivals on Gossip Corner. A rising comedy star native to the Mechanicsburg area was spotted back in hometown at an iconic racing track. Okay Local twenty one news. Who was it?
It was Shane Gillis. Shane was seen on Facebook at Williams Grove along with the cast of his new Netflix series Tires. Today is day four of me trying to watch tires. But every single time I go to watch Tires, my entire family’s on Netflix and I just watch Hacks, and I like Hacks when I’m trying to watch tires. These kids are young adults and teenagers go out and drink beer in the park.
Stop watching Netflix. That’s for dad’s. John Mulaney joked that he busted someone watching John Mulaney on a flight. Lani shared on Instagram a fellow passenger sitting in front of Millaniy on a flight. The fellow passenger was watching Everybody’s in la Lay tagged it busted.
I feel good on the microphone today, probably because I just did an hour with Mark Melcoff. Did I mention that the interview is fantastic? I loved that interview so much, and not because of me, because of Mark. I just did the Carson thing of ask a question, should shut up and marked old great stories. Can’t wait to share that with you.
To be in the main feed Saturday, June eighth is my plan right now. Eddie Pepatone is taping a special tonight in Chicago. He’ll be a Lincoln Hall. He told CBS two that it’s been nerve wracking. I get so neurotic.
This is going to be part of my legacy. People are going to see what I do with the world really falling apart. It’s just kind of like me just talking about how I’m falling apart. I have a line in the special somewhere where I say, I don’t know if the fact that three corporations own everything and the ruling classes destroying us that’s fed me up, or it’s the fact that I’m really lazy and I don’t like myself. He picked Chicago because I love Chicago.
I love Chicago audiences. Chicago is a great comedy town. Great every time I’ve performed in Chicago, I leave the show going they’re really good comedy audiences. Of the new special, he says, I realize this special is an introspection about myself. In the battle I have toward being a free soul, I’ve realized the ugliness in me helps people with the stuff they’re going through.
Plus, as a comedian, I feel like the only way to get better is to stay honest with yourself and have the courage to put yourself out there. He warns. Topics are heavy. There are definitely people who are not ready for it, but adds anything dark you have to make palatable by showing your own humanity, how you’re scared, not above it all. Lincoln Hall Tonight seven fifteen Early Show, nine to forty five Late Show.
Jimmy O Yang is in a new quote high octane short film for Toyota, promoting the brand’s all new twenty twenty four land Cruiser. That’s right any three minute film The Land Cruiser Get Back Challenge. Jimmy o’yang and some other folks are blindfolded and dropped on a remote snowy embarkment. Their task to find their way back to civilization, navigating a series of challenges while relying on nothing but a twenty twenty four land Cruiser. I gotta tell you though, way cooler than Jim Gaffigan selling Bourbon Way Cooler Alts.
Comedy fan fave and TikTok star Laura Murley is releasing her debut comedy special. It’s called Belly slapin Fun that’ll be out Thursday, July eighteenth. Laura follows in the large footsteps of Mitch Hedberg and Maria Bamford, specializing in set up, punch line jokes, and one liner is told in a trademarked deadpan that just keeps getting funnier, and that to me sounds right up my alley. Ali Clayton’s new album is out today. It is called Country Queer.
