It’s just one of things, gonna be very silly. Odd dog. We had the most fantastic dog and she was at our wedding and she got us through a pandemic. She was with us for the two pregnancies and perfect choice of music. We ought to say goodbye to her.
And now this part of the audio is believed. He looked into the camera and said, f you it is. I feel like Sarah mccachlan right now. Sorry to hear about your puppy there, John Oliver, all right, that’s the Emmy. He’s a section of today’s podcast.
Let me throw it over to the A week version of me for the rest. It’s really I say this. Kevin Hart has less work to do. Remember he had the vegan restaurants. Harthouse suddenly closed all four of its la locations.
Last week, Hearththouse CEO Andy Hooper gave a statement to eatter La which read, the response of the product has been incredible, and we thank our committed team, our customers, and our community partners for helping make the change we all craved and for their unwavering support of Hearththouse. He didn’t mention why it closed, though an Instagram post from Hearthouse thank guest with a HEARTFELTZ goodbye for now as we start the next chapter. Now. What’s interesting is a few days earlier Hearthouse had started promoting T shirts with the slogan change You’ll Crave. The first location of Hearthouse opened just blocks away from the always busy in and out near lax I was there recently It is always busy.
I drive the mile and a half to the slightly less busy one, also sort of your LX. Then they opened a larger Hollywood flagship complete with a drive through, in May of twenty twenty three, and then two more locations. What could you get at Harthouse back in the day when it used to exist plant based burgers, chicken sandwiches and nuggets, kale salads, and sides like fries and tots The company also tried to reinvent the labor model with higher wages and healthcare for hourly workers. That’s cool, as well as a lifestyle spending account with access to things like Netflix subscriptions and access to an interest earning savings account to which the company contributed. Not bad.
That’s according to restaurant Business Now. It’s not just Harthouse. Shake Shack recently closed five LA locations. The Army’s on Sunset hung up its famous sign back in June. Fast casual chain Veggie Grill closed a bunch of locations in twenty twenty three.
It’s unclear if Kevin Hart will bring Harthouse back. In another iteration, don’t worry. Give me forty eight hours, I’ll be telling your story. Kevin Hart has a new gig. He just announced.
It’ll happen. Meyer Rudolph got a wax job from the Hollywood Reporter. That is a former coworker. Before you know, you have a car there and your friend goes, hey, let me whax your car for you. Nice thing to do.
Well, The Hollywood Reporter wrote one of those articles. Maya says it’s a huge compliment being part of the Kamala Harrison news cycle. But it’s also very bizarre because I woke up to an article saying I was confirmed a player and I hadn’t spoken anyone. This is so much bigger than me, and this is about something very important. I’m thrilled to be associated with it, and I’m also glad that I’ve played her and everyone’s cool with that.
She likes it. The secrets are her version of Kamala Mayas says when I see her, I see her having fun. And so the fictional Comala that we created tapped into her fun.
And then SNL producer Steve Higgins said to me that his wife called her a fun…
Now, that sounds like fun, so we went from there. That was the moment when you realize, oh no, I know how to do this. By the way, today’s episode of Ballot very very funny. Check out Ballot’s podcast Wherever you get your shows. Chelsea Handler, she used to date Joe Coy and Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes one time and told joke about Taylor Swift.
You may have heard about it. Relax, not doing a bit. Chelsea will tape her next special at the Well Month Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, November twenty third. Chelsea Handler is a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Really, okay, should we look?
We should look? Oh man, there’s a lot of people in this Is there a list? So I went to the New Jersey Hall of Fame website and they had, you know, two thousand and eight inductees, two thousand and nine inductees. And I don’t feel like clicking on ten trillion things, so I asked chat Chept who is in the New Jersey Hall of Fame? Now, this being AI, the information may not be accurate, but who cares.
It’s a comedy podcast, all right? In the Hall of Fame. Bruce Springsteen. I will believe that John bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Meryl Streep, Shaquille O’Neill is in the New Jersey Hall of Fame, Yogi Berra, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Tony Morrison Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author who I’m sure is fantastic. But when the first nine names were Springsteen, bon Jovi, Whitney, Houston, Sinatra, Meryl Streep, Shack, Yogi Einstein, and Thomas Edison, Tony Moon, you are tenth.
I’m sorry, Tony Morrison. Fans send your letters to Deacon Mike in Cleveland. He handles all my correspondence. Thanks Mike for fielding those. Kathy Griffin got half a wax job from the Hollywood Reporter.
As you start to read the article, like, oh, here’s another one of those, you know, fluffy articles that the Hollywood Reporter puts out, But as you dive into it, it took a sideways turn. Kathy seems to think there’s a large conspiracy against her getting a special. She tells the Holly Reporter, it does make me feel that in Hollywood, I’m still canceled. If I can’t make a deal for a special, people tell me the same thing happened to me and Gina Carano. Please don’t like in Kathy Griffin taking a protest photo to a Holocaust DENI are.
I didn’t whip out my penis like Louis C.K. I wasn’t canceled. I was investigated by the Department of Justice for something I don’t regret. She talks about taking a jet to her shows and jokes that she’s losing money on the tour because of the jet. I know it’s spoiled, but it’s worth it.
I get to sleep with my babies. Those are some dogs, and avoid the airport where a lot of Trumpers still feel the need to come up to me and tell me how horrible I am. The Holly reporter says. We talk in the SEV heading to the tarmac about the special. In her mood, tarket see the I told you there was a twist here.
Kathy says, there’s not going to be a special. Everyone’s passed. Her manager clarifies, well, no one’s actually passed. No buyer has ever attended the show in comedy specials, which is kind of like me saying that back in the nineties, Kim Delaney never turned me down for date. Factually true, Kim Delaney has never turned me down for date.
Boy. I left Kim Delaney on NYPD Blue. Did you pick that up there? I digress. The other reporter tells us Kathy holds the record for most televised stand up comedy specials by one artist, twenty one.
All right, everybody out there, name one Kathy Griffin special. Go right, there’s twenty one of them. Kathy says, I’m dying for special. There’s so many platforms out there, and Peacock can’t be off the table just because of Andy, right. I’m assuming she means Andy Cohen in that case.
Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Casty have made an official offer quote unquote to the real Conjuring House. This the house from the Conjuring film series. In a Twitter post, Castiy tagged the official page of the Conjuring House and revealed that he and Riife are quote ready and willing to buy it if you’re keen to sell. He added that the two are willing to pay all the money o to employees and compensate for loss of goods any date we’re ready to make it happen. Rife reposted an added this was an official offer.
He was asked, why do you want to buy this house, and they both replied joined to comment however that works as if now it’s just a wonderful thought slash offer to be able to give that location, it’s staff, and it’s customers the respect they all deserve. If you enjoy what I do here, one way to support the show is you can go to buy me a coffee. Dot com Slash Daily Comedy News, So I was there this morning six forty five am, and I don’t know why they had a street sweeper machine. You know the trucks with the brushes on the front. If you live at a city, definitely know what I’m talking about.
One of those was cleaning the parking lot. Maybe not six forty five at the place you go in to get I own it’s in coffee, you know, maybe do that at four in the afternoon. Parking lot’s a little busy at six forty five. Street sweeper. What do you guys doing?
Buy me a coffee. Dot com slash a Daily Comedy News the second annual because their Funny Comedy Festival is coming back to DC September twenty seventh through the twenty ninth. Comedians Leslie Jones and Dion Cole will headline this year’s festival. And that’s quite the understatement. Because I went on the website, I was like, Oh, this is a cool festival.
Let me talk more about it. Here’s a list of comedians performing, Leslie Jones and Dion Cole. I mean, there’s a showcase. Dion’s hosting a showcase with up and comers. But I think the word festival here is a bit of a stretch, Johnny Mack, you are sarcastic today.
Alex Moffatt looked back on his time at Saturday Night Live and talked about how he got the job of Donald Trump’s middle son. He said, when I was in the process of possibly getting hired by nison Al, a friend of mine called and said, you know, you kind of look like Eric Trump. You should work up an impression. I didn’t have one insign from my screen test, so I didn’t audition it. But once I was hired the first week, I went over to mikey Day and he was like, Yeah, this is great, let’s do something.
There was a photo in real life of Eric, John Junior, and Avanka Trump. Moffett told Vulture, we wrote an update that was loosely based on that picture of the three elder Trump kids that they put out that was like millennials for Trump. It was Avank in the front and then the two boys in the back just looking like, you know, American psychotype dudes, and Eric had a look on his face that I based most of the impression on. Vulture also spoke with Langston Kerman and they were curious about a recurring bit in his special where he talks about managing his mother in law’s dating profile, and they want to know how that works, Langston said. My wife and I would spend about a day to small talking with these gentlemen.
How are you what are you up to today? Would ask all the basic getting to know you stuff to see if they were capable of basic conversation, which is all you can ask from a sixty year old man on the internet. Hey, Langston, watch out there. I’m not that far from sixty anymore. Numbers are starting to get big.
I mean even Kim Delaney’s sixty two now. Then at some point when they seem even remotely capable, we would screenshot a conversation as well as their profile and send it along to the mother in law with their phone number and be like, called Joseph today at this time, as you’ve agreed to in this email, and then she would call and should report back on whether or not she enjoyed the conversation. And you bet your bottom dollar she never did. And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.
