The Shark Deck. Hello, Jenny Mick with your Daily Comedy News. All right, the writer strike, he’s over. When will we get Late Night back? One late night insider told Variety, we want to come back a sap.
I think everybody’s leaning forward like they’re ready to go. I’d look for them to return on October two or October ninth. I think they’re going to be very motivated to get their crews working again. A different source said, we’ve been keeping the wheels somewhat in motion, so it’s sort of dusting off the studio and getting it back up again. It’s not exactly a light switch, but as long as you can get everybody back in, the network just has to pull repeats and start putting new broadcast shows back on.
It’s just about what goes into the shows, and that’s the bar you need a little lead time for is to figure out exactly what you’re coming back and doing. According to Insider, as some late night producers were already emailing staff about coming to work as soon as today. All Right, we’ll see what happens with that. The actor is still on strike. An interesting sidebar to this in Puck News, they claimed that Greg Daniels is looking to boot the Office.
This related to the end of the writer strike. They wrote, quote Greg Daniels is set to do a reboot of the Office, for instance, It is totally unclear. I looked at a half a dozen articles. Nobody knows what a reboot of the Office means. Does it mean it’s a completely different office and you just run the office format with a you know, crazy boss and a flirty couple on all that?
You know how the office works. You’ve seen this show, You’ve heard of it? Yes? Is it that? Are we going back to dunder Mifflin.
I’ll talk about that in a second. Is it a total reboot of the Office where what somebody else plays Michael Scott and we start over? I think that’s a terrible idea. As for an office continuation, you know, I don’t know. So what do you do?
Is Correll coming back? And even if Steve Carell said yeah, I’ll totally do it, well, how does that work? Michael’s decided to move back at his old job, and so Dwight gets demoted. Is John Krasinski going to do this show? Probably not?
So Are Jim and Pam still together? Does Pam still work there, but you know, she just talks about Jim, but he’s never around because he’s off being a sports age like. It’s not that easy to bring this show back. Sure, you can do this. There’s ways to write anything into it.
You know, Michael decides come back, Towight gets demoted Towy. It’s happier to be demoted. Jim’s just not around. You could make it work. I’m sure a lot of the secondary and tertiary characters would be happy to come back.
You could have some new people. I don’t know. But the other thing is I’ll watch, you’ll watch, so who knows. We’ll keep an eye on that one. Polly Sure would like to play Richard Simmons and a biopic.
Only Sure went on social media and said, I’ve noticed all the reactions to me playing Richard Simmons in a new biopic. I heard he’s living deep in Big Bear. We’ve been playing phone tag. Yes he still has a phone. I’m trying to make it happen for you, guys.
Be optimistic. In the meantime, hit up Hulu, Amazon, Disney, HBO and all the big producers. I definitely can morph into the guy. I’ll see you at the Academy Awards twenty twenty five. I’m not sure, Polly sure as Richard Simmons will wind up on Disney, but we’ll see.
From the Daily Mail, they covered Russell Brand and wrote in a rambling three minute clip that was posted to Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. Russell Brand thanked his fans for their support and for questioning reports that had been made. Russell went on to accuse the British government of demanding that big tech sensor is online content, and Russell took a swipe at the BBC for its Trust News initiative that tackles fake news. I agree it was a rambling clip. Let’s take a quick listen, Hollo, there you awakening wonders.
Obviously, it’s been an extraordinary and distressing week and I thank you very much for your support and for questioning the information that you’ve been presented with. By now, you’re probably aware that the British government have asked big tech platforms to censor out online content and that some online platforms have complied with that. YouTube CEO Neeil Mohan has defended the decision who strip Russell Brands YouTube channel of ads. Mohan said, if creators have off platform behavior, or there’s off platform news that could be damaging to the broader creator ecosystem, you can be suspended from our monetization program. Trevor Noah played New Delhi’s j l N Stadium and The Indian Express was there to cover it.
Let’s see what Trevor’s doing on his Indian tour. Trevor talked about visiting the taj Mahal on his first day, but the audience enjoyed Trevor’s jokes about the Delhi traffic, especially the Tuck Tuck vehicles on the road, who, according to Trevor, were the real rulers of Delhi roads. Every time Trevor said a Hindi word, the amuse spectators cheered for him. The rest of his set was about with the weather in New Delhi, Indian immigration, and international politics. Trevor was both shocked and amused to know that New Delhi has a wedding season and how dates are set keeping the store alignment and weather in mind.
He also said he’s considering an arranged marriage for himself. Jokes about China got a favorable response. He asked the audience if India was happy about British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s appointment. He got a loud yes. Trevor said, do you know how angry some people were in the UK?
I was like, this is the best day ever to talk about flipping the script, Trevor set was almost two hours long. Pretty impressive there. Gary Goldman doing a lot of press for his book. Vulture asked Gary if he was worried about him his mom suing him. Carry said, yeah, I felt bad about certain things.
There are certain people in my life who I changed their names if I said bad things, but that was because a lawyer would ask. At one point she said, now your uncle Norman the burglar, is he still alive? And I said no, and she said okay, good because there are certain people who they don’t want to sue. But then the lawyer said, do you think there’s any way your mother would sue you? And I thought, I hope not.
Also, she’s old enough for I feel we could delay the lawsuit for a while and wait her out. Variety asked Sam J if there was anything Sam was afraid to talk about in the new special. Sam said, I’m a little bit past it because people are always going to have something to say. That’s a fact. In this special I made a greater effort to show my work, to really walk you through the thought process, and to leave less holes than the joke.
I just tried to make sure the jokes were a whole. They asked Sam about covering such topics, and Sam said, it’s because what my favorite comedians did, Richard pryor Chris Rock want to psychs George Carlin. I don’t think all comedy has to have some political comment to it. Some stuff’s just fun and silly, and that’s awesome too. Salute Me or Shoot Me is on Max.
You know HBO Max. Stop calling it Max. Go back to HBO Max. Salute Me or Shoot Me is on Max. Now, I haven’t seen much buzz on it.
I forgot it was coming out, and I host this thing every day, but it was the weekend and stuff. I’m not sure Saturday night is the best night for releasing specialties. Used to be forty years ago, but times change. Congratulations to Dane Cook. He has married kelseyat Sailor.
They got married over the weekend in Hawaii. Taylor posted on Instagram first day as mister and missus. Cook couldn’t be more over the moon. Dane himself shared an image his best man took of Dane thirty minutes before the wedding. Dane wrote, last night was one for the ages.
I made more memories in one night than I have in a full year. The wedding even had a hashtag hashtag kiss the Cook. Adult Swim put out a trailer for season seven of Rick and Morty, and we get to hear the new voices of Rick and of Morty. The network is keeping the names of the new voice actor is confidential until the show season premiere. You may recall both Rick and Morty used to be voiced by Justin Royland.
He’s got some concerns he’s got to take care of and it kicked him off the show. An insider said, we want the show to speak for itself. We believe in the strength of the season and our new voices, and we want to preserve the viewing experience for fans. I pulled two short clips, and the first one of the first voice, he’ll here is Jerry, who’s talking, You’re Rick. In the second clip, it is new Morty and new Rick.
I’ll play them and I’ll tell you what I think. I was wondering if you could help me out with a bit of a rake situation. A rake situation, what do you say, Rick per Space, come upon something. Maybe I have a moral objection. Slick and Morty.
We’re back, baby. It’s not bad. The Rick is better than the Morty. The Rick is missing a little bit of the angst, little bit of the gravel, and the Morty’s okay. But again, this could have been far worse.
Remember some of the replacement bugs bunnies if some of the replacement kerbitt the frogs. So this is fine. Good job at Rick and Morty. Dan Horman, one of the creators of Rick and Morty, is also the creator of Krapopolis and Dan Feinberg with my favorite TV critic rights for The Holly Reporter, and I forgot Krypopoulos was coming out again. I host this thing every day.
I’m not sure they promoted it all that well. Dan Feinberg in The Hollywood Reporter rights Dan Harman’s brand of comedy sometimes cure Isle, sometimes every night, usually with both sensibilities engaged on a graphic on screen wrestling match. Isn’t for everybody, even the shows of is that I love most Community and Rick and Morty and the Sarah Silverman Program, The usual Stuff, Lose me here and there. Krypopolis a longjest dating Fox animated comedy notable for off screen trivia. It’s already been renewed through a third season.
It looks bland, and the stories it’s telling are bland, and most oddly of all, the thematic underpinnings of the series are bland. Krpopoulos is never boring, and I chuckled here and there. The weird thing to say is that Krpopolis is almost aware that it’s underwhelming. The first episode includes a bit about how a joke of a roast of sorts was not laugh out loud funny and it isn’t. That show’s already on Fox in case you missed it, and I did.

We talk about him every day on the Palace Intrigue podcast. That podcast is just about the Royal family and I’m the writer on it. Katherine Ryan was on her own podcast, which is called Telling Everyone everything. So there she is, and Prince Harry enters the room appearing quote right over at my left shoulder. First thing out of his mouth, Oh, you’re the one that tells jokes about be Katherine, Ryan said.
I was like, yeah, it was me, Sorry about that. Harry says, it’s okay. I like jokes. Catherine says, okay, Well none of them were at your expense. Harry says, no, they weren’t, so keep telling the jokes, Katherine says.
After that she sank into a pool of sweaty shame. She said, Harry was lovely meeting the other guests. His presence was so striking seeing him up close, Prince Harry in the flesh, he looks exactly but taller like the image of Prince Harry you have in your head. He’s an HD and the photos of him look like the real Hymn.
