Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. On today’s show, Ricky Gervais showed off his new mansion on Instagram. There’s an unusually harsh criticism of Whitney Cummings I found on crack dot com my own opinion. Jay Leno is driving a fire engine around LA, but he’s doing it for good and South Africans are coming to the defense of Trevor Noah.
New theme music by the DCN band Let’s Start. If you’re in Pittsburgh this weekend, Jim Jefferies wants you to go see him. He is preparing for his next tour and says, it just so happens that I’m gonna be recording a special in a couple months time. The best time to see a tour is just before the special, because all the jokes are ready to go and they’re all polished and good. The worst time to see a show is just after someone’s recorded as special and they’ve run out of material, so it might be a bit long.
To be honest with you, I have lots of jokes I need to filter out before I actually record the special. Ricky Gervay showed off his fourteen and a half million pound home, nine bedrooms, a spa in its own gym sounds nice, but then again, you invent the office. Ricky was on Insta on Sunday. In his usual style, he showed off a lavish hallway complete with a marble staircase, large windows, on a laundry basket. He captured the picture I call this place laundry basket on a bench in the hall.
Many social media users were distracted by the extremely polished floors. Many wondered how long they would take to clean. Others pointed out the risk of injury slipping on marble. One social media user said, shout out to the floor sweeping staff, do you clean your own floors? Genuine question.
Another said, must be weird living in a private hospital. Riggie’s’ing sure if this will be his forever home, He had previously posted on Twitter. I thought the last house was the one I was going to die in, but I didn’t die, and I wanted a tennis court, so we had to move to a bigger house with a bigger garden just so we could get a tennis court. And I thought, this is amazing, this is perfect. It it’s not even finish yet, but I love it.
But the other day Jane said, we can’t live here when we’re eighty, so that’s like a ticking clock. She said, there’s all these stairs, so I’m going to be moving again when I’m from New Zimbabwe dot com you’re home for comedy news. South Africans are defending Trevor Noah after his ex Jordan Taylor called him a nobody. Jordan showed up on the Netflix reality TV series Selling the City. In episode two of Selling the City, Jordan revealed they had met on Twitter.
Jordan said at the time he was a nobody. No one knew who he was. They dated from twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen. Trevor hosted The Daily Show starting in twenty fifteen. Jordan said, I was the funnier one in the relationship.
Trevor borrowed me for material all the time, but he would also steal my material one hundred percent. Jordan said Trevor was her first high profile client after facilitating his ten million dollar New York apartment purchase. The South Africans are not happy with this. One person said, look at the real nobody trying to be somebody. Another said, we’re still waiting for you to crack a joke.
Another said, oh please, he was already known as Trevor Noah, while she is known as Trevor’s X. That should tell you who’s who, and then more pointed out, yeah, he bought a ten million dollar home he was on the Daily Show. I know for me. I knew who Trevor was before he got The Daily Show by for sure, having seen him at several comedy festivals, and I left series in twenty fourteen, so I knew him. Taylor told Page six that she had given Trevor a heads up about our comments, saying he’s one of the more private people when it comes to the celebrity sphere.
I did give him a little heads up, but that relationship was six years ago, so it’s not recent or am I emotionally dealing with it. Jimmy Kimmel on his program, talked about the fires, saying it’s been a very scary, very stressful, very strange week in LA where we work, where we live, where kids go to school. Jimmy was in near tears, saying many of us had to leave our homes in a hurry. Some of our coworkers lost their homes it’s been terrible. Everyone who lives in this city knows someone most of us, multiple people, family, friends, colleagues, neighbors where houses have burned down, And the truth is we don’t even know if it’s over.
We had one hundred mile an hour winds fueling this nightmare, and as of tonight, winds are back. I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s been a sickening, shocking, awful experience. But it’s also been in a lot of ways and beautiful experience because once again we see our fellow men and women coming together’ty chain other people who lost their own homes or out volunteering in parking lots for others who lost theirs. One of those people, Jay Leno. I’ll get to him in a second, but first John Stewart defended La Mayor Bass, saying I’m not saying she’s churchill.
Yes, improvements could be made in leadership and management, design and materials and married ways. But sometimes fire f’s a tornado and makes a mockery of human infrastructure and our ability to dictate the terms of our existence on this planet. But the one thing it shouldn’t dictate is the cruelty that we would show to those in pain, because we don’t think they consistently vote right. Jay Leno was going about his business. I saw a couple small stories about Jay volunteering.
One at the Reedley Firefighters Association. They were at a base camp. Jay Leno came by and served some food. Then as Jay was out and about, he happened to run into Anderson Cooper. Jay’s driving around in a nineteen forty one American Lafranz firetruck.
Leonard tild I understand they’re all getting box lunches. We figured, let’s get some hot food. It’s unbelievable. It’s ten thousand buildings. If you drove all day, you couldn’t see ten thousand buildings.
You get on that hill and you look from and there’s nothing. Looks like heroshiamor just some horrible thing. It’s an entire city wiped out, Pacific Palisades. It doesn’t exist and probably won’t exist for the next five six years. I don’t know how you rebuild this.
It’s one hundred and sixty billion dollars. There’s no insurance company in the world that has that much money. The problems will be insurmountable, but We’ll get through it. We always do. On crack dot com, In my opinion, an unusually harsh article, the headline Whitney Cummings continues to demonstrate what happens when a comedy career slows down.
Keegan Kelly is the author. Keegan writes, the last few days of cummings feed is everything you can expect from a washed up comedian rebranding as a conservative conspiracy theorist. She’s dumping on Los Angeles and California despite the fact that she lives there. She’s using a natural disaster to basically demonize the homeless instead of even considering how climate change could have exasperated the extreme weather conditions. And she’s complaining about DEEI hires and woke lesbian firefighters by calling out women by name whom she believes shouldn’t be working their current life saving jobs.
Cummings just needs to pluck some shady supplement and throw it an insane an immigrant take on these tunnels to perfect her Joe Rogan, please have me back on your show publicity stunt. It goes without saying that none of cummings claims about homeless people starting the fires by pouring gasoline into the sewer system, or woke lesbians slowing the work of the first responders of any basis and reported facts. But truth is never the point When a medium talent who recently slid off all mainstream platforms starts trying to steer online discourse over current events, Krack pointed out some of these social media posts. One supporter said, taken ote from Thompsigre and Joe Rogan and moved to Texas Baby, and another said, Damn, you’re falling into the enus of the internet. I thought you were a smart one.
And yeah, the comedy news is not much fun today From Sky News, whose line is it anyway? UK version star Tony Slattery has passed away at age sixty five of a heart attack. In recent years, Tony had spoken candidly about suffering mental health problems, but was making a comeback with a new podcast and a comedy tour. A statement made on behalf of his partners said is with great sadness we must announce actor and comedian Tony Slattery, aged sixty five, has passed away Tuesday morning, following a heart attack on Sunday evening and from the Metro Times in the States. Jonathan Nokielski, a local comedian known by his stage name as Jada Jaden, unexpectedly died.
Jaded Jayden was forty three named best local comedian in the Metro Times Best of Detroit twenty twenty four reader poll. Comedian Dominic Man of Scalchi posted on Facebook he might not have been everybody’s cup of tea, but because of him, a lot of talented people were given a starting chance in an art form that’s difficult to get started in. He’ll always be the reason I got my start, and I’ll never be able to thank him enough. Local comedian Brandon Kyle Mullins added, he first reached out to me over social media when he saw me struggling with hout people were perceiving me and how I was presenting myself. He didn’t know me.
I had never seen me perform, but he reached out to give me kind and inspiring words that I’ll always appreciate. I could tell he was passionate about being genuine yourself as an individual and longing for the acceptance of a shared laugh. That’s your comedy news for today. See tomorrow
