Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I’m Shoanny mag with your Daily Comedy News man. There’s a lot going on. I was gonna lead off with Shane Gillis, and then a bunch of stories jumped on top. How about this headline for The New York Post.
Adult film star Lisa Ann dragged out of Matt Rife comedy show and handcuffs. They quote her as saying, I did nothing wrong. All right, what’s the deal here? Podcast host and former adult film actress Lisa Ann. Lisa Ann and I have at least one thing in common.
Went to see comedian Matt Rife. I’ve never seen Matt Rife, so it’s not that perform at Radio City Music Hall and ended the night in handcuffs. Oh no, she tweeted, because it’s Twitter, and we tweet on Twitter. I don’t know about that letter that Elon Musk uses. She tweeted.
So I was dragged out of the Matt Rice Show tonight in handcuffs, stating I was using my phone. I had not used my phone. I was just enjoying the show. Forty five minutes in handcuffs, sent to an ambulance and released.
Meanwhile, I missed the show I was so looking forward to.
She accompanied her post with a video of herself being escorted out by NYPD officers. Where she get the video? Was she using her phone shouting I did nothing wrong, I didn’t touch my phone. I wanted to see Matt Rife because he’s a friend of mine, and I go to jail. In her comment, she added, putting a period between each word, as I’ll phrase it, this is not a bits real life.
I was arrested tonight at Matt Rife show at Radio City Music Hall. Hashtag WTF. So she’s either confused or just wanted to shout out Mark Marin there, bad joke, John, keep going. The post points out although Anne said she was going to jail in her follow up tweet, she claims she was released after forty five minutes. A source from the venue tells the Post that Lisa Ann was allegedly recording the show, which is prohibited.
When she was asked to stop and refused, the NYPD got involved. Must have been a quiet crime night in New York City. Hey, we need two officers to respond to porn stars recording Matt Riffe’s show at Radio Music Hall. Nothing else happening in New York that they need to deal with that. Same source tells the Post she was not removed for the phone.
She was removed because she was disruptive. She was being very disorderly. How disorderly could you be at a Matt Rife concert? Some people speculated because of her past career. I’m not going there.
No idea wasn’t there. I can’t imagine that. It’s not like Lauren Bobert was at the show. All right, that was funny. The source says.
She started getting loud. The police were there, and she started kicking them. See that doesn’t add up to me, because I’m pretty sure if you kick a police officer, somebody’s gonna start throwing around the word assault. Right. I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think I could just kick a police officer and get let go forty five minutes later.
Case you’re wondering who this is, Lisa Ann is best known for playing a parody version of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a certain genre of film and now you’re like, oh, I know who that is? Yes, you do? You naughty boy? Talk about unfair poor Joe Coy. You may recall a few weeks ago that Taylor Swift appeared to murder Joe Cooy’s career.
Bring it, Swifties. Listen to this headline from Yahoo. The Internet is praising Trevor Noah for his respectful but funny jokes about Taylor Swift at the Grammys. Now, let me remind you what Joe Koy actually said that cost Taylor Swift to apparently murder his career. Joe Coy’s terrible, mean, horrible joke.
How could he possibly say this about Taylor? Joe Cooy’s joke was the big difference between the Golden Globes in the NFL. At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Oh man, that is so mean. How could you do that?
Why can’t you be respectful but funny like Trevor Noah? What is going on? So? Here a third in my rundown. I want to tell you about a comedian who released a trailer for a comedian special And I almost moved this here, but I’m overthinking it.
The comedian is Taylor Thomlinson, and my hesitation is too many people are writing the really lame Taylor Thomlinson is the Taylor swift of because you know their first name is Taylor. But if this were a Deane Cook story, it would sit here. So Taylor Thomason, you get the third spot. She has released a trailer her specials called Have It All. It’ll be on Netflix February thirteenth.
I’m gonna play the trailer, but I gotta tell you, as I listened to it, there’s some unnatural crowd work here. I’ll give them some rope because it’s a trailer, so it’s obviously remixed and mixed. But if the crowd is laughing this hard on the actual special, I’m gonna be a little suspicious. Well, let’s listen. To be honest, my career is going very well right now.
This is the last night of the biggest tour I’ve ever done. I’m filming my third Netflix special tonight. And recently someone was using my name and photos on a dating app. It was me. I was doing it.
If someone has their soulmate, you don’t want them to have their dream job too. If someone has their dream jobs, they don’t get to be in love. On top of that, if someone has their dream job and their soulmate, minimum their parents better be divorced. I prefer they were an orphan. Kilert.
Tomlinson’s Have It All Netflix February thirteenth was filmed at Capital One Hall in Tyson’s Virginia. It’s her third special for Netflix in four years. Looking forward to that, but I’m more looking forward to this. My favorite thing last year was Kunk on Earth. Well, Philhemina, Kunk, as played by Diane Morgan, is coming back, Baby.
The BBC tells us it’s Kunk’s most ambitious quest to date, venturing right up to the universe and everything to find the definitive answer to the ultimate question, the meaning of life. What’s the point of it all? Is a question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. But as we cling to our dying planet, working around the clock while we’re slowly being replaced by machines, now more than ever, people are desperately looking to make sense of their lives before someone invents a computer that makes sense of it for them. It’s a one off extended special for BBC two an I player at a layer in the States on Netflix, Kunk’s Quest for Meaning Kunk.
We’ll tackle some of the most complex It’s just fun to say, Kunk will tackle some of the most complex concepts to ever have been discovered, including quantum physics, existentialism, nihilism, hedonism, and at least four other isms, as well as exploring subjects from the Big Bang to biology, morals to mediation and art to artificial intelligence. Good job making fun of the copywriting rule of three. There she’ll also examine the lives that works of some of the history’s foremost thinkers and groundbreaking creatives, from Epicurus to Dostoyevsky, from Sarto to van Go, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs and kitchens that say Live, Laugh, Love. It’s a journey that will take Philimina further afield than ever before. This is a great copy.
She visits sites of significance across Europe, as well as traveling internationally for the first time to America, subject of visa approval fingers crossed. Along the way, she’ll be meeting leading experts and academics and not lighting them leave until she’s gotten to the bottom of such questions as what is life, what’s the point of life? And why are we bothering to find out? And when’s lunch? Philamina Kunk says, to be honest, I thought we could cover the Meeting of Life in a thirty minute episode, but the producer said we might need a bit longer, and that I could probably go to America if we did a special.
Very excited to be going to America for free. This is so well written. Charlie Booker says, what’s sort of quote you want for your press release? I haven’t got time to think about this on late for zoom. Oh, for God’s sake, Okay, this print something bland like.
I’m thrilled Philamina’s returning to our screens to help us uncover the meeting of life. That’ll do now, go away, leave me alone. Oh my goodness, this is wonderful. Making fun of other press releases. John Petrie, BBC, Director of Comedy Commissioning, there’s a title, how do you Get that job?
Says Kunk has become a global phenomenon, so it’s fitting that she’s traveling further than before to ask some of the brightest people on Earth some serious questions. Hopefully she was clever enough to remember to renew her passport. Diane Morgan and Charlie Bricker are the dream team, and I’m so glad they’ve teamed up for more Kunk on the BBC. All right, Shane Gillis, he’s going to host Saturday Night Live. I touched upon this yesterday and as I said yesterday, Hey, Lauren, did the material get less offensive by just getting five years older?
Was it offensive or it’s not? How is it now not offensive? I know how things go the other way that maybe we used a word in two thousand and five that we don’t use anymore. I know how that works. It’s stuff going the other way.
Now we’re like, oh, I know you said pejorative back in twenty nineteen and it was a no go now, but now nobody gives it Wood It’s okay if you said those things. What’s going on here? And I think Hollywood in Toto has nailed it their headline. SNL needs Shane Gillis more than he needs NBC’s show Rising Star, formally snubbed by Far Left series, will host February twenty fourth episode. Hollywood and Toto reminds us Shane had sold cruel jokes featuring racial stereotypes in the past.
Material the show’s production team didn’t learn about until Social Justice Warriors unearthed it. Since then I’m editorializing here. Dave Chappelle has hosted SNL what twice? Maybe three times? At least twice total, writes this could have been a death blow to Gillis, at the time a modestly known comedian podcaster.
Imagine coming that close to the gig of a lifetime on let me see it slipped from your fingers. The show’s more laughing stock than a comedy institution. In its forty nine season, last year, the show’s called Open used the tone deaf testimony of three Ivy League residents to mock not their moral rot but the GOP congresswoman who exposed it. The show has lost its edge and sense of adventure, its predictable and planned. I got Stephen Colbert monologue, all right, you know it’s terrible.
I just opened up Google. Remember that Lauren Bobert crack I made earlier, so before I said it, I wanted to fact check it. Now that I’ve opened Google again, my search is for Lauren Bobert and the thing she did. My wife comes out, She’s gonna be like, what are you doing. I’m working on the podcast, honey, Oh my goodness.
The least search history all I wanted to do was remind myself where I pulled this next story from the answer Vanity Fair, who writes Saturday Night Live caters to the right. With Nicky Haley appearance, she and Gillis return, Eve Baty writes SNL continued its long standing tradition of giving problematic people a platform with two questionable judgment calls this weekend. First, it gave Nicki Haley the chance to seem fun, I guess, she writes in a cold open that saw the actual anti trans pro gun black friend have her rib a Donald Trumpet personator in the sketch show’s cold open. Let’s not act like Donald Trump didn’t host the show. Then it announced the next host would be Shane Gillis, a comedian.
It was higher than fired from the show’s cast in twenty nineteen. Blah blah blah. They do remember Trump hosted it, right, Haley isn’t the first candidate SNL, as ample vined via comedy. Trump was hosted the show twice. Others who have hosted at Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader, Rudy Giuliani and Americus Mayor John McCain, Bernie Sanders, and a bunch of other presidential candidates.
Out of all those, former cast members most frequently called Trump’s stint out as its most regrettable, with Tarren Killiams saying in twenty seventeen that Trump’s twenty fifteen hosting spin normalized him and makes it okay for him to be part of the conversation. It’s also time perhaps that has paved the way for Shane Gillis to return to the SNL stage. Cracked Rites, Why Lorne Michaels can’t quit Shane Gillis, As Gillis’s stand up star continued to rise. Lorne Michaels found ways to stay in touch. This last year he hired Shane appear in the Pete Davidson bio sitcom Bupkis.
A statement issued from the Michaels camp a few years ago damn Gillis for language those offensive, hurtful and unacceptable. Apparently that’s worth a two year probation before getting a work release gig on another Michael’s show. Now Gillis is getting the ultimate your back gift. He’s hosting the show, et cetera, et cetera. Crack nails it here.
The easy answer is it’s attention stupid. The two top trending subjects on my Twitter feed this morning were Lorne Michaels and Sheen Gillis. You know how hard it is for a fifty year old television show. I want to slip in angry Jerry Seinfeld. I was watching out Kerb and Jerry was on and doing angry Jerry Seinfeld.
You’re a hardness for a fifty year old TV show to be the most talking about subjects social media the wake of the Tarot swift super Bowl. I guess it’s not that hard at all. Invite radioactive comedians to the show and sit back and watch the fireworks. Maybe Luis c k will turn up for the Good Nights on the Gillis episode. That would be amazing.
Don’t act like you won’t watch Michael’s is cut from the same. I want to have it both ways, cloth ripping conservative lawmakers in one week’s cold open, inviting conservative candidate Haley to crack jokes on another day. So what are we complaining about now that the show’s balanced? I don’t get it OutKick, writes Shane Gillis to host SNL, proving whoop comedy doesn’t work. You know, between this Shane Thing and Joe Rogan being really popular.
Maybe people just like to laugh. Maybe we like to laugh at all kinds of things. I find Schapelle funny. I wish you wouldn’t talk about some subjects. I disagree with him on other subjects, but he’s funny.
Shane Gillis is funny, Mark Maron is funny. Out Kick Rights now after destroying itself to peace the woke mob, butt Light who Yeah, they’re doing a deal with Shane Gillis for a commercial is actually listening with consumers and giving them what they want. Maybe, just maybe SNL is doing the same inside hook with what I’d think is a bad take their headline, it might be time for Lorne Michaels to retire Before we even read this, do you really think Lorne Michaels is going to retire in year forty nine? You think he’s not gonna do the fiftieth anniversary? Really, maybe it’s time to admit it’s impossible to stay in a job for five decades without becoming out of touch.
His cast members rattle off jokes about Joe Biden, Donald Trump being too old to run for president every night, but Michael’s himself is pushing eighty true, but you know, kind of a difference between I mean, picking the wrong musical guest and pushing the nuclear button. Just saying the Hally cameo proves that michaelss learned nothing since he deservedly caught heat for having Donald trumpos the show in twenty fifteen. The Trump Show bombed hard, and it represented a crossing of the rubicon of sorts. SNL has a long history of having politicians on, but since twenty fifteen or so, we’ve been living through some of the most divisive times, et cetera, et cetera. Beyond the fact that Chane Gillis represents a certain type of lazy, unfunny comedian who fancies himself edgy see I disagree.
Watch his Netflix special If you watch his body lineage, he knows they’re just jokes and he’s having a good time and he does a great Trump having him host shows an unfathoma lack of respect for Bow and Yang, the show’s most talented and arguably most power popular current cast member. Fair point there. Yang is Chinese American and gay, and you’re really gonna make him share a stage with a guy who thinks it’s funny to mock Chinese accents and casually drops slurs like two slurs. I’m not gonna repeat them. If we set aside the obvious HR concerns, what other job is there when someone could be fired for being racist and homophobic and then brought back to work alongside the very people his eight speech was targeting.
Welcome to show business? Are you kidding me? What happens if somebody’s doing drugs backstage at SNL? We’ll have to let them go? Come on?
Why is Dave Chappelle seemingly roaming the halls of Studio eight h for no reason? Why is Lauren Michael’s betting over backwards to accommodate problematic old guys and problematic not so old guys who’re clinging to an incredibly stale, outdated idea of what comedy should be when he’s got an incredibly talented, younger generation of comics at his fingertips. Let me jump in the last two seasons have been terrible. Dave Chappelle’s really popular, Shane Gillis is really popular. Lauren’s running a business.
He’s not running a comedy charity. People like this stuff. He’s trying to make a popular show. He wants the fiftieth anniversary special to be the biggest thing ever. He’s playing the hits.
If you want to do some niche comedy thing, there are plenty of black box theaters that’ll have you. But SNL NBC’s in the business of selling commercials, and they’re in the business of selling commercials to bud Light. Oh boy, long in the first here, Johnny Mack, I didn’t even get to Dave Chappelle. I guess I’ll get to that rant tomorrow. But I’ll tell you what I wrote Chappelle, of all his work, that one, all right, I got the machete out.
Let’s see gossip corner? Can wait? Kevin Hard can wait? Is Bill Martin can wait? While we’re talking about people who have been canceled and uncanceled as he is and sorry?
He has launched his directorial debut nearly two years after what was supposed to be his directorial debut was scrapped. Admits a report of co star Bill Murray’s inappropriate behavior. Forgot about that has He’s and sorry? Who this article doesn’t bring anything up about? Should I google?
Is he’sn sorry? Canceled twenty nineteen Vox has a headline as he’sn Sorry addresses sexual misconduct allegation. Their subheader, as he’sin Sorry has addressed his sexual misconduct allegation, but he hasn’t publicly apologized. In pr has a headline the fine line between a bad date and sexual assault. I’ll leave that there.
Not getting into that today. Has he’sn sorry? Who’s uncanceled till the hollow? Reporter Keiki Palmer, who’s joined the casts the light to work with. I’m so happy she’s part of her cast, and even more excited to provide a quote for this press release announcing her casting.
Kunk did it Better. Pete Davison is testing out new material in Tarrytown tonight, performing a never before seen set. He’ll be a Terrytown music call eighty one bucks to see Pete Davison tryout new material. Not a good use of your bunny, I mean even Pete’s best material at eighty one dollars, I don’t know. You want to see Pete trying stuff out?
Not sure that’s a great idea. Phones are not allowed, all right, So if you’re a former porn star, don’t go whipping out your phone or leave it I’m having fun today. You get the rest of the joke. Kim McVicker has a new special hour. This is not a special.
This is an hour on Prime Video and Apple TV. It’s out today. Kim McVicker’s third stand up Thingy bos bits about the perils of men trying to stick their stuff in your backside on the dance floor, and her dreams of playing a corpse on ends. Wrap it up, John, You’re definitely gonna make somebody mad today and you’re just gonna get in trouble. Go home.
Well, I’m already home. I’m in the basement. Not your comedy news for today. If you enjoy this, share it with somebody. They might like it too, or they might go, who’s that jerk face?
I hate that guy? I get it. See tomorrow.
