The Shark Deck, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Trevor Noah tweets Threads versus Twitter. I’m on threads for the same reason I support King Kong. Sometimes you just need another monster to keep tweet Zilla in check. Hmm.
I watched a bunch of comedy specials. I know, right, Let’s start with Tom Sagora Sledgehammer best special of the year. His stage presence is great, the materials great, his pacing is great. A couple of laugh out louds love it. That’s number one.
I’ll redo the rankings in a second. Kevin Harts, what’s that one called reality check? I wasn’t feeling it. I think a lot of people will really enjoy it. I felt Kevin’s body language was selling the material, and it’s interesting.
I was listening to an interview with the Loudons of Bodin where he was talking about on one of his recent specials, he just wanted to get back to standing in front of a microphone and not selling the jokes with his body language. And I listened to the interview after I watched Kevin. When I watched Kevin, I think Friday Night, I was like, I don’t know what’s wrong here. I’m just it just felt off to me.
And then when I heard that interview, I was like, oh, okay, yeah, Kevin selli…
I just felt like the laughs outweighed the material. Like I said, a lot of people are going to like that special it’s on Peacock. I wasn’t feeling it. I did enjoy Nimesh Patel’s Lucky Lefty. That one’s on YouTube.
Was really digging that. It got a little long because it’s single topic about its testicular cancer. So after a while I just wanted to do something else, but that one’s really good. And Jimmy O Yang’s Special guess how much that’s on Amazon. I like that a lot.
Now this is personal taste. It is not the funniest special you’ve ever seen, but it was really good company, really easy on the ears. I just enjoyed watching, and I liked Jimmy a lot. I’d laughed out loud a few times, but I’m not going to tell you a pound for pound it’s the best special I’ve ever seen, but I really liked it. But Tom Segura is number one.
So here on the fly, let me update my comedy rankings for twenty twenty three. Let’s see the Sagoora takes over the one spot, knocking Kyle Kanine down to two. I’m typing into my document as I do this. Nate BERGATSI number three. Jay McBride was really good.
Jim Jeffries Horry is better than any of these that I talked about. Chris Rock special roast of mister Peanut. Okay, I’m going to put Jimmy O. Yang’s guess how much ahead of the roast of mister Peanut, which now falls to nine. Big Jay Okerson now at ten.
Nimesh is better than Sarah, so he’s now the eleven that makes Sarah fall to twelve. John Early falls to thirteen. Not adding to the list, Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart joined some big hitters, Amy Schumer, John Malaney, Lewis Black, Hannah Gasby, Mark Marin, Andrew Santino, Bert Kraisher, Greg Warren, and Kevin Hart not on my best of lists. Just one dude in the basement.
Your experience may vary. From the Independent comedian Scott Thompson, you know him as Carrot Top. He alleged that he was on board the American Airlines flight where a woman appeared to accuse a fellow traveler of being knots real, and Carrot Top says the incident may have been caused by a lost earbud. There’s a viral video a woman can be seen walking down the aisle of a full flight while screaming about her reasons for getting off the plane. She says, I’m telling you I’m getting the f off, and there’s a reason I’m getting the f off, and everyone can either believe it or not believe it.
I don’t give to you us what I’m telling you right now that mffort back there is not real. A spokesperson for American Airlines said American Airlines flight one thousand nine let service from Dallas Fort Worth two Orlando, returned to the gate due to a disruptive customer. The flight was met at the gate by local law enforcement and the customer was removed from the flights. Carrot Top posted the now viral video with the caption my flight, this is on my airplane. He then turned the camera towards himself and said this is why wall sitting here and effing Dallas now because she lost her earbud.
Karrots Hop did update us and said, hi everyone just want to let you know I’m made it home. I give my hats off to everyone at American Airlines for how they handled that situation with that nut job, but just lost her mind in front of the whole plane. Five hours later, we’re here in Orlando. He expressed his hope that the woman in question was having a relaxing evening behind bars in Dallas, Texas. Hope you enjoyed your little stunt.
THEO Vaughan’s podcast this past weekend had an episode removed from YouTube. That was the Rosanne bar episode that I told you about maybe a week ago. Roseanne had made some Holocaust jokes. YouTube said the comments violate its content policies. Quote this video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on hate speech.
Vaughan responded and said, my podcast with Rosanne was removed from another platform, so I wanted to be able to live somewhere, and he posted it on Twitter. It got more than seventy million views.
