The Shark Deck. I’m Chenny Mack with you Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Kimmel had a great question. If Trump goes to prison, does the Secret Service go with him? Like do they have to be in?
Do they have to serve? It sounds like the premise for a Mark Wahlberg Kevin Hart movie Right Jail to the Chief, Love It. James Gordon said, tell you what, I bet Trump’s ready to fund the police. Now Cordon again, Milani is at Marlago, Like, please don’t put him under house arrest. Please don’t put him under house arrest.
Anything, but how’s arrest? Dave Chappelle, it’s all the story. On his podcast, he said the story took place when Twitter first started. Chappelle tried to sign up for Twitter, but he found out the name Dave Chappelle was already in use. He thought that was odden, checked out who was using his name.
Turned out to be somebody pretending to be him, who he calls fake Dave Chappelle, Fake Dave Chappelle at pictures and everything. At first, Dave was like, I need to put a stop to the page. Then he started reading the guy’s tweets and thought they were hilarious and figured, hey, I’ll get a good comedy reputation without having to pay this guy. Chapelle became so intrigued with Fake Chappelle that he would get coffee every morning and check Twitter just to see what Fake Dave was up to. Then Fake Dave Chappelle went rogue and started attacking celebrities and friends of Real Dave.
One of the celebrities that he attacked was Kat Williams. Fake Dave Chappelle and Kat Williams started going at it on Twitter. The problem for Real Dave was that Kat Williams was saying things to the fake Dave that we’re actually hurting Real Dave’s feelings. But wait, there’s more. The guest on the podcast, Cat Williams, Kat told Chappelle he never had a Twitter accounts.
Turns out, Fake Dave Chappelle and Fake Cat Williams we’re having a war. Real Dave and Real Cat find that very funny. So do I. I apparently missed back in October a really good interview by A Good One podcast with Sam Morrell, and I found this exchange really interesting as I went back and looked at it, A Good One asked Sam, hey, you filmed seven shows for your Netflix special same time tomorrow, but the running time is only forty five minutes. Sam said, the Netflix deal I got wasn’t incredible, so I’m like, why am I giving them a full hour for material?
I look at his at a teaser for the road. I cut a lot of stuff, so it’s kind of like I can self release that stuff. It’s like bonus crowd work. I could start the new hour with some of that material. I’ve also put out three specials in the last three years.
I’m tired. Follow up question, do you care about the sanctity of an hour as an idea? Sam said, I think it’s a backwards idea. They have all this data showing that people’s zone out after like minute fifteen, So why am I giving a full hour? I think it was Ari Shaffier who told me the Comedy Central demanded he gave them over an hour, So he gave them like an hour nine minutes, and the special aired forty two minutes long, and he’s thinking, did I just waste twenty seven minutes?
This is crazy. I don’t think they realize how hard it is to write jokes that you please with and also promote gigs all the time. Tim Hidecker is going on tour. It’ll be the two Tim’s Tour, where he does his serious musical stuff with his very good band, plus a set of comedy featuring his quote no More BS Persona. This kicks off in Monterey, California, July twenty eighth, heads back to the East co including Webster Hall in New York on August ninth, and then finishes up in Oklahoma City.
The one in Oklahoma. On August twenty fourth, the charges against Justin Royland were dropped. That’s the Rick and Morty co creator charges involving an ex girlfriend would dismiss to quote due to a lack of sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, said a spokesman for the Orange County District Attorney. Royland tweeted the word justice and set him. Still deeply shaken by the horrible lies reported about me, he wants to move forward.
His statement, I’ve always known these claims were false. Most of all, I’m disappointed that so many people were quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered X trying to bypass due process and have me canceled. The into statement, saying he plans to move forward and focus both on my creative projects and restoring my good name. They’re making a biopic of Cheech and Chong. That sounds cool.
The Hollywood Reporter has some nice boiler plate here. Cheech and Chong came to prominence in the seventies and eighties, becoming You can’t come to prominence in the seventies and eighties. You come to prominence and then you’re prominent. Come on becoming synonymous with stone culture by riffing on and lifting up the counterculture of the time, from hippies to of course, cannabis. Their combined output included successful stand up shows, comedy albums, and low budget feature films, including Up in Smoke, Cheech and Chong’s next movie, and Nice Dreams.
In a joint statement, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong said jointly, and I don’t know how. I’d never understand how joint statements work. Are they like the borg? Do they just say this at the same time together? On three one two three, We are excited to show the world how two dudes from completely different backgrounds got together, change comedy and made cannabis mainstream.
Are you in Idaho, home of Ryan Hamilton. Well, gone on over to the Tree four to Comedy Festival. Eight o’clock tonight at the Boise Center East. It’s early show featuring one two three four six seven comedians. Shane Taurus will be the most famous on that list.
Meanwhile, at eight fifteen over at mad Sweedebrew Hall, one two three, four five six comedians, Matt Besser being the most famous there ten fifteen at the Boise Center one two three fo five six seven different comedians, And at ten thirty at matt Sweed six different comedians. Again, all right, plenty of comedy tonight, John, you always do that. What should we go see? We saw Matt Besser recently in our hypothetical travel so let’s go see the Shane to Horror show early. And since I won’t want to walk anywhere, since we’re already at the Boise Center, we’ll see the late show at the Boise Center this weekend.
For the first time in a long time, I have some weekend filler, which I’ll tell you about in a second. So I’ve already recorded and didn’t include what should we do on Saturday? So let’s just do this now. Five thirty Improv for Humans with Matt Besser podcast taping. All right, another reason not to see Matt Besser tonight eight o’clock.
Boyse Center has an early show. There’s also a late show and guess what, Matt Sweed also has an early show and a late show. But the headliner in town which shows at eight and ten thirty the Egyptian theater tig Nataro. Let’s try and see Matt Besser early at five thirty and then we’ll go see tig Nataro. How’s that sound.
HBO is bringing back A Black Lady Sketch Show for season four. All the main players will be back. A Black Lady’s Sketch Show returns April fourteenth. Remember a Broken Lizard? Yeah, they haven’t had a movie in a while, it’s been five years.
Well, they’ve dropped. The trailer for Quasi Quasi is a send up of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. A hapless hunchback yearns for love but finds himself in the middle of a murderous feud between the Pope and the King of France, when each orders the hunchback to kill the other. That’ll be on Hulu on April twenty eight, which is probably not accidentally four twenty and Johnny mag Ye ed said, you were going to get back to that thing from Vulture where they had the chat gept write some jokes in the style of comedians, and you never did. What’s with that?
I know? Anyway, Vulture had the chat cheept write some jokes in the style of Maria Bamford. I don’t even do a half, asked Maria Bamford. So I’ll just read this straight the chat gebt, as Maria wrote. And I’m not sure how to feel about getting older.
On the one hand, a more experienced than wiser. On the other hand, I can’t remember anything. I went to the grocery store the other day and forgot why I was there, so I just walked up and down the aisles until I found something that looked familiar. That’s how I ended up with a cart full of butternut squash and cat food. It’s like my brain is slowly turning into a random number generator, you know.
I kind of like that. Let’s see what Maria said. She said, I thought it was interesting that this says in the style of me, because it isn’t personal my stuff. It’s about mental health and personal experiences. And the way the chatbot did it was very observational and crowd pleasing, nothing that anybody would be uncomfortable with.
It felt more like a very popular club comic act, which can be great. One more from the chat GPT. As Maria Vanford wrote, you know what’s the worst thing about getting older? You can’t do anything without making weird noises. You stand up, you’ve grown, you sit down and grown you bend over your wheeze.
I feel like I’m auditioning for a sound effects library. And don’t even get me started on how long it takes me to get out of bed in the morning. It’s like watching a sloth trying to pull vault. Maria locked into the line I did too. She said, it’s like watching a sloth try to pull vault is a legitimate, excellent punchline.
It’s taking a low energy animal and then having them do something spectacular. If you read comedy books, they say the way to make something funny so to amp it up to the nth degree and say something unexpected. So in that way, it’s done a great job. All right, this weekend, So what do I have for you? On Saturday.
You remember a couple of weeks back, I said I wanted to revisit the fifty greatest and up comedians of all time, as listed by Rolling Stone back in like twenty sixteen or so. I revisited it. So that’s tomorrow’s episode. I just felt like doing that. And last week I had so much that I had recorded the whole weekend and still had stuff left over.
So I planned out my editorial counter and I said, I will play that card on Saturday, March twenty fourth. On Sunday, it’s Adam Sailor Day because, as you know, Adam Sandler won the Mark Twain Prize for Humor and CNN is going to telecast it, and The Washington posted an article about Adam Sandler. So I decided to take a look at that. So that’s this weekend, and you can follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. And I’ll see you tomorrow.
So you’re at McDonald’s and you get your bag and you open your bag. You want to grab a couple of fries or something, and there’s five thousand dollars in it. Yeah, this happened at one guy Hi, I’m Johnny Mac, host of Five Good News Stories. He gave the money back. Don’t worry.
If you want to start your day with a smile. Twice a week, I’ve got five good news stories for you. For example, there’s an airline for dogs. Or what about the woman in her eighties who just released her debut album. How about the dude who found one hundred and fifty corn on the cobs under his floorboards?
Is corn on the cobs even the way you say that? Who cares? And yes, that was a pony at the supermarket? Five good News Stories, the number five good news Stories. Five good News Stories, the number five Good news Stories.
