Caloroga Shark Media, the show must go on. Hi, I’m Johnnie Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Did you see RFK Junior is considering a vice presidential candidate and it might be Jesse Ventura, or it might be in New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Even coldpart joke. Now, that’s a risky move to pick Aaron Rodgers, because if we’ve learned one thing, when he starts running, he’s gonna snap his achilles.
Jimmy Kimmel, these are not running mates. These are the people of the mass. Singer calls. When Rob Schneider says no, Jimmy Fallon said, RFK Junior was like, do you want to give it a shot? And Rogers said no, but I’ll give it a horse to warmer love it.
Kevin Costner was asked to react to John Mulaney’s wonderful recap of the Field of Dreams. Costner retweeted mullane’s bit and wrote, not a bad summary, John Mulaney can rest easy. TMZ reporting that sources with direct knowledge who’ve already read Anna Marie Tyler’s memoir and it used to being married to Joe on Malany. The sources tell TMZ that Mulanie is never mentioned in the book, either directly or indirectly. TMZ says, not only are we told that he isn’t named in the book, but there’s no alluding to him or their marriage.
In other words, m’lini makes no cameos in this whatsoever. Literally nothing that’s interesting. Will Dave Chappelle be at SummerSlam? Well, if Logan Paul has anything to say about it, Dave Chappelle will be at SummerSlam coming to Cleveland. If you’re in Cleveland on August third, there’s a rumor going around of people who could possibly be at SummerSlam.
Dave Chappelle was one of those names. Sea scoops dot com You’re home for Comedy News says a lot of people either sleep on Cleveland or they use the city as a punchline, one that has long lost its topical punch. The truth is that a lot of big names have come out of the city, and Logan Paul wants his Cleveland connection to turn out for SummerSlam. He’s hoping Machine Gun Kelly will come, the Kelsey Brothers, and also Dave Chappelle. He says, I want to bring my brother Jake Paul.
I want MGK to be there. I want the Kelsey Brothers to be there. I want to be one of the biggest events Cleveland has ever seen. And hopefully I can get an opponent who I could bring the house down with. Oh, Dave Chappelle will absolutely be there.
The Wall Street Journal recently profiled Kevin Hart and said Heart develops his routines orally he forms observations and anecdotes from his conversations with a bunch of his friends. They are dubbed the Plastic Cup Boys with a Z. Members of the Plastic Cup Boys are the only comedians who opened for Heart on tour. The Journal rights moments after showing Providence, Kevin Hart is reflecting, saying, that was a tight fifty nine minutes. I’m going to get it to an hour straight.
I’m going to move three to four things where I want to hear the laughter be as loud as it is in other places. I should be able to feel the laughter from the top to the bottom. Snaps his fingers and says, it’s fun. It’s fun. People look up.
It’s been an hour, but it didn’t feel like it in the act. He’s a finding now he wants to eye the backstretch of his forties and beyond, he says, including my transition as a father, my hope for family growth and gain, and the idea of old age. Heart’s been touring this under the placeholder brand new material. There’s talk of an official tour later this year, but he says instead of play arenas, he might do many residencies. Instead of sixteen thousand people a night, he’d played roughly the same number during a half dozen shows over a weekend in a more intimate theater.
That would be cool. Rolling Stone profiled Rommy. Yusef will be hearing a lot about Rommy in the upcoming weeks, with his special coming out soon, they write. As he is on stage, Usef is soft spoken, upbeaten, empathetic in person, always looking for the good and people in situations. Mark Curry invited Yusef to open for him on tour, and even though the Access of Evil and other Arab comics like Moa Mayer had been out there for a few years, Romy entered a stand up world that seemed confused by his existence.
He said, there was this thing on a baseline level of wait, do Muslims laugh? Do they condone comedy. That’s so when the gutter some of it was. He addressed nine to eleven and said, I don’t even know that I fully realized how it affected my psychology. Being eleven twelve around that period, it took me a really long time to say, oh, wait to cope.
I tried to downplay it, but affected every single thing my parents did, every decision they made. A lot changed afterward. They tried to hide some of it from us, but then you kind of start to realize, oh, you lost a lot of your friends, you lost some work opportunities, our entire social circle shrunk. He tried turning the anti Muslim sentiment to his professional advantage, auditioning early in his career for the kind of terrorist roles that have become ubiquitous over the previous decade. He didn’t get them.
They would go, oh, you’re not scary enough. If there’s one regret he has about the Hulu show, it’s that he named it and the character after himself, inspiring people to confuse him with the guy he’s playing. He was worried about how his parents would respond to the show. He refused to tell them anything about it because I wanted to give them plausible deniability. No fourth season has been ordered yet, but he says he’s talked to Hulu about the idea of taking a long break then returning to jupict Rami Hassan in a new stage of his life.
It’s definitely not over, he insists, Well, this is interesting. Johnny Knoxville new film, it’s called Sweet Dreams, out on April twelfth. In it, Bobby Lee, Moa Mahern, Theo Vaughn. The official synopsis of Sweet Dreams forced in a rehabit Sweet Dreams recovery Center, Mars played by Johnny Knoxville, struggles to confront the wreckage of his life, but when their house goes up for auction, he reluctantly agrees to coach their misfits softball team of Recovering Attic to win a cash prize and prove that everyone, despite their past, can hit a home run. Neil Young announced he’s back on Spotify or remember he quit Spotify when they did a deal with that Joe Rogan Fellow.
Yeah, well now that Rogan’s everywhere, what’s Neil Young to do? Neil said, I can’t just leave Apple on Amazon like it did Spotify because my music would have a very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all. Joe Rogan said, by the way, Neil Young came back to Spotify, Congratulations Neil, great to know you’ve got some ethics. Bill Murray commented who should play him in the SNL movie? Now?
The SNL movie takes place in nineteen seventy five, and Bill said, I’m plus this movie will really be about the original seven cast members, noting he didn’t join it until nineteen seventy seven. Bill said, I get to be on the sidelines. I think my name gets mentioned, which is good. He suggested some people. First up, he says, I like Keenan Thompson.
Now I’ll weigh in here. I’m not sure Keenan Thompson really captures the essence of Bill Murray. His next suggestion, Bill Hayter, I could see that working, although you know how old’s Bill Murray in nineteen seventy seven. Bill Murray was born in nineteen fifty. That’s nice and easy.
So he’s twenty seven. Bill Hayter is forty five, so probably not best choice to play Bill Murray. His other suggestions Kristin Wig, I think she’s wrong for the part or Amy Poehler. Yeah, Amy Polar would nail it. Bossum.
Yusef spoke to India today, you’re home for comedy news. He said, traffic in New Delhi is Cairo multiplied by one thousand. He recalled his first visit to India, where he snuck out at three in the morning to see the sites. He wanted to see the Taj Mahal. His organizers wouldn’t let him go out because they were worried with the traffic.
He wouldn’t get back in time, so he snuck out. In twenty fourteen, Yusef snuck out of Egypt, not because of traffic, but because jokes he had made against the Egyptian government. He’s a heart surgeon turned comedian. I find him fascinating. I didn’t know he’s a heart surgeon.
Anyway of the story. I just told you. He said, I sneaked out of Egypt. You think the Taj Palace can contain me. BAFTA has announced that Phil Way, comedian that I Like a lot, will host the twentieth BAFTA Games Awards, the world’s most prestigious annual celebration of excellence and creative achievement in games.
That’s April eleventh. Comedy Central all of a sudden last Wednesday announced out of the blue. I don’t know why they didn’t promote this, but they announced that starting Wednesday, March thirteenth. I get that it’s four days ago. I explained yesterday, Wednesday, March thirteenth, at won thirty pm they would feature thirteen hilarious new comics with short and sweet sets.

Those are out already. I don’t know why they didn’t pre tease it. Nate Brigatsy on his podcast, I have not heard this yet, but I saw a recap of it. He talked about Jimmy Fallon appearing at his shows was that last weekend, and said after Jimmy Fallon arrived on campus, Fallon essentially he disappeared into the crowd of college students.
He was followed by Nate’s tour manager, Travis to make sure that Fallen wasn’t completely alone. Apparently, Fallon went up at a frat party. It’s also an anecdote saying that Jimmy Fallon could not open to a door to a bus bathroom in the middle of the night. That’s your comedy needs for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.
They might like it too. I’ll see you tomorrow.
