Caloroga Shark Media. Hy There, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. The President of the United States has threatened to sue quote unquote talentless Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah for quote unquote plenty dollar signs. Apparently the President of the United States did not like one of the jokes. The President took time out of his very very busy schedule running the country to post on Truth’s social the Grammy Awards are the worst, virtually unwatchable.
CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. Next year, the Grammys will air on ABC. The President reacted after this joke from Trevor Noah. That is a Grammy that every artist wants, almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense. I mean, because Epstein’s Island is gone.
He needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton. So, oh, I told you it’s my last year. What are you gonna do about it? Oh? The President had more to say.
The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said incorrectly about me that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. Wrong. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false, intfamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the fake news media. I don’t even know what to say to that one.
Never been accused of being there, The President continued, Noah a total loser. Better get his fact straight and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless dope of an MC and sue him for a plenty dollars sign Ask Little George Slapadopolis and others how that all worked out.
Also ask CBS get ready, Noah, I’m gonna have some fun with you.
Someone else who did not enjoy Trevor Noah is Nicki Minaj. You may recall this joke. We got John Letgend in. The house, Oh man, Every single person John Legend, Finnis Phineas Nicki. Minaj is not here.
She is not here, Um. She is. She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues. Actually Nikki, I have the biggest ass. I haven’t.
Everybody’s saying it, Nicki. I know they say it to you, but it’s me. Wop wop wop. Look at it. Look at it, baby.
Nicki minaj on X posted Trevor refuses to come out of the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend dot dot dot allegedly. In another post, she wrote, as they do their ritual tonight, God Almighty will reveal themselves to them. The ritual will backfire on them. God will not be mocked. Blessed is the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Every tongue that rises up against me in judgment shall be condemned and put to shame. Watch You may know Nicki Minaje from such songs as Super Freaky Girl. In the Hollywood reporter Daniel Feinberg, who’s one of my favorites, wrote, Nobody’s going to come away from the Grammy’s telecap remembering any of Noah’s monologue speech because there was no monologue speech. There were barely any jokes. It was really just Trevor Noah running around the floor gushing about the talent.
In a very small portion of the audience. Really, Noah got to like three tables, enough time to shake a few famous people’s hands and say are you kidding me? Seemingly a few dozen times. It was an enthusiastic chummy thoroughly vapid. But if the point was for absolutely nobody in the audience to feel even slightly offended or amused, he achieved that goal.
Yeah, you gotta be careful because one time Joe Coy hosted the Golden Globes and told this horrible, mean joke about Taylor Swift. Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. Yeah, I mean, so, Trevor’s smart to play it safe. You don’t want to make a Taylor Swift level joke and have the Ice Queen make a face and basically wreck your career.
You don’t want that to happen, Daniel Finberg writes. And the truth, of course, is that for many viewers, Trevor delivered exactly what they craved, a hollow, cheery escape from everything happening on the news, an insulated celebration of super officiality that was then punctured by the awards and the recipients. Finberg writes, sure, I want things to be political if you don’t bully for you, But in lieu of political, I would have settled for funny or purposeful or not bothering waste ten minutes just starting the show. This was none of these. It was just enthusiastic.
Daniel then goes on to speak about how the artists were not as blanned as trivor specifically Bad Bunny. I’ll call out because Bad Bunny is the Super Bowl halftime show this upcoming weekend, and I suspect he will be in the news. Bad Bunny, during his speech, said ice out. We’re not savages, We’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.
Got some more politics for you later, or we’ll do that in the second half. I do try to keep it light. Ricky Gervais waited in during the awards, as he has done in the past. Ricky shared an excerpt from his infamous twenty twenty Golden Globes monologue in which he told the actors of the room not to turn their acceptance speeches into political calls to action. This time, Jervas used a crying emoji and wrote, they’re still not listening.
You may recall in twenty twenty. He said, if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a political platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Nate Berghatzy went on Bill Mahers show.
Bill Maher said, you and I we could not be more different. You met your wife at an Applebee’s. Nate Pergatzy was curious and asked Bill Moore, when was the last time you were at an Applebee’s. Morris said never. I don’t think it existed when I was poor and now I’m effing rich.
Pete Davidson debuted is not at all a podcast? The Pete Davidson Show on Netflix. Did you watch it? I don’t think too many people did. I was checking all weekend to see if it made the top ten.
It did not. Bert Kreischer’s Thing is in the top ten, but Pete did not. I lasted about two seconds with it. It was not for me. Pete Davidson sat down with MGK.
They discussed the importance of bidazz. Yes, I don’t know what you were watching all weekend. Maybe the Grammys, but you could have been watching Pete Davidson and MGK discussing bidezs. Pete Davidson refuses to use the bidet he has on the Japanese toilet in his home because quote, I’m afraid I’ll love it, and I don’t be able to, you know, go anywhere else because I can’t shoot water up my place. Let you shoot water up.
They got a little more serious. Pete said, I think we both thought we were going to die pretty young. I’m equally impressed by both of us and been able to keep it going, which it’s now past that point where it’s like, yeah, we’ve had troubles while sober, and you’re like, yeah, it’s fine. MGK said their bipolar has synced up. Every time I’m having a manic episode, you’re good.
Every time you’re having one, I’m good. It goes back and forth. Pete said, thank god, because we’d be dead for sure. Then they shared some stories about various drugs and I’m just not interested in any of that. Cant Williams will have a special on Netflix.
It’s his fourth. It will premiere February tenth, one week from today. It is called The Last Report. In it, Kat Williams delivers his take on conspiracies, celebrities, and the world at large. I went to pull the trailer for you, but he’s Kat Williams and I like to keep this podcast clean, so it didn’t work.
But I’ll tell you he joked about buying a farm and he bought all the animals that were delicious, like cows, pigs, and chickens, and that he hasn’t killed a single animal yet. I’ll save the joke part for a week from today when Kat Williams new specials out on Netflix. Don’t forget to vote for Comedy Survivor. Ron White voted out week four. A pretty shocking result there.
We’ll see who goes out this week. So what do you do? You go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. You’ll find a cartoon image of me and Ron White in that thread. Vote someone off the island.
Just make a crystal clear vote. I’m voting off. So and so. It’s been a lot of fun and the group is having fun. Alliances are starting to form.
I think that’s good. If you’re at the comedy store in La tonight, really good. Lineup. They had a Jim Norton to a lineup that was already David Spade, Andrews Santino, Whitney Cummings plus more. That’s pretty good.
Gossip Connor spoons in the street, Gossip Conna, Bobby, Bobby, Gossip Conna were with Johnny magg It’s as. A tree and welcome to Gossip Corner. Now, this first one is completely unconfirmed, but I’ve seen a lot of chatter about this as the story goes, assuming when this even happened. Sadie Sandler, the daughter of Adam Sandler, was in a Chanelle store in Beverly Hills. As the story goes, one of the workers supposedly, perhaps maybe judged Sadie Sandler for her casual outfit while Sadie Sandler was perhaps possibly maybe looking at a classic flat bag, which goes for twenty eight six hundred dollars.
There is a widely shared TikTok video in which Sadie Sandler supposedly enters the Chanelle boutique. She stressed in an oversized hoodie, basketball shorts and trainers boy. She is her father’s daughter. As the story goes, a sales associate dismissed her interest and suggested the item was intended only for serious buyers. If the story is true, in this version, Adam Sandler himself shows up question the staff about judging customers by appearance, and then buys something himself.
It’s unclear what Adam Sandler has bought. If this story is true, The story is being reposted across multiple social plotfs. There are no photographs, surveillance footage, or eyewitness accounts from inside the store so far. The TikTok video also does not specify an exact date or time of the encounter. Did it even happen?
Who knows? Fun story sure.
Also on gossip Corner, Radar Online says Amy Schumer is being bothered by onl…
If even this gets mocked, it shows you can’t win no matter what she does. Bill Board put out the top touring comedians for December. John Mulaney leads the pack six point one million dollars fifty one thousand tickets sold over fifteen shows. Must be nice your top five. Number five.
Dave Chappelle grows two and a half million, sold eighteen thousand, three hundred tickets. Fourth, Jimmy Carr grows two point six million and sold forty one thousand tickets In third place, Matt Rife grows four to four and so old fifty nine thousand, six hundred tickets. Nate Brigetzi, who’s off in number one he was number two, grows to four point nine million, sold one hundred and seventeen thousand, and again John Mulaney fifteen shows, six point one million dollars fifty one one hundred tickets. Page six says that Tim Dillon hopes to film his next special on skid Row. A source says that’s what he wants to do.
I think he just thinks it’s a funny thing to do. On his podcast, he joked, LA should think of skid Row as an asset. Let’s be proud of it. Let’s say we are the top homeless destination in the world. I take friends now when they visit to skid Row, and I’m proud of it.
I’m like, there’s ten thousand people here right now. Jokes aside. I listened to the newest episode of Tim Dillon’s podcast. He was pretty serious for the entire episode. I think I can tell when he’s joking and not joking, and I think he was serious this week.
I did pull a clip. Here’s Tim Dillon. They’re censoring your post on TikTok. Anyone who’s not criticizing this, anyone who’s not calling this out, I cannot trust that. I don’t know why they’re not calling it out.
I don’t know if there’s a fine ancial benefit to them not calling it out, or if they feel that one side’s already one and they want to be on that side. I don’t know if they are fearful of something or other. But if you’re not calling this out, if you don’t think this is wrong, if you make a living speaking, if you’re a comedian, podcaster, journalist, whatever you are, doesn’t really matter. If you are a YouTuber, if you’re a social media personality, if you make a living using your fat mouth, and you don’t think this is a problem, You don’t think getting a group of billionaires that are ideologically aligned to go buy an app and then start censoring the content on the app. It was a problem when it was being done during COVID, and it’s a problem when it’s being done now.
And if you don’t care about that, and if you think that’s not going to affect you for whatever reason, I can’t trust you, and I can’t listen to what you say. You don’t have any credibility. And we started with politics, will end with politics. I wonder if we’re losing the country. The FCC chairman says fake news won’t qualify for the equal time rule exemption.
In case you missed it, two weeks ago, the FCC’s Media Bureau issued new guidance on the Equal Time rule, which requires that broadcasters who feature qualified political candidates on the airwaves provide time to rivals if requested. News had been exempted from the rule, and in recent decades it was assumed the rule also applied to daytime and late night talk shows like Say Jimmy, Kimme Alive, or Colbert. However, new FCC guidance has signaled to those talk shows that they should no longer believe they would be exempt. At the FCC meeting a Commissioner. Carr said that a determination on whether a show is exempt would come down to a number of factors, including whether there was a partisan motivation in featuring a political candidate as a guest.
He said that congressional lawmakers were worried that TV programmers would brought take advantage of trying to claim they were bona fide news when they weren’t. But if you’re fake news, you’re not going to qualify for the bonafide news exemption. Back in two thousand and six, the FCC determined that the Tonight Show with Jay Leno was exempt from the equal time rule. Carr said that assumption in light of the ruling was that every single late night, every single daytime show must be bonafide news, and he says that assumption is not right. So we’ll see how that affects bookings as we head into the midterm elections.
You know, sometimes the late night talk show is just a late night talk show, and that is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
