Caloroga Shark Media. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News, A daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. A sentence which the algorithm really likes. Because we don’t say it, the numbers go back down. If you missed yesterday’s episode, or if you balled and you’re like, I don’t care about Kermit the frog with this episode sucks.
The last story in yesterday’s episode is so much fun. Make sure you go back and at least listen to that one. Today will be a little more serious in a second, as we get into Andrew Schultz. But let’s start with this story. You may have seen it.
This hit the mainstream press. From the SmartLess podcast, Will Arnett revealed that a quote very famous comedian that Arnett describes as an fing rank a hole was kicked off SmartLess. Arnette said, we cut him off after ten minutes and said thanks so much and ditched him. He joked, you’ll be blown away by who it is because you’ll be like, how did you get Bill Cosby? It’s not Bill Cosby.
People are speculating on who it is and the timing of it. The internet is speculating that the answer would be Chevy Chase, that Chevy would have been recently promoting his documentary, and Chevy does have a reputation. Again, I don’t know Ornette didn’t say, but the internet seems to think Chevy Chase. That’s not a bad guess. Andrew Schultz seems to have some evolving opinions on the President of the United States.
Got a few articles discussing mister Schultz evolving opinions on the President of the United States. But let’s hear from Andrew Schultz himself. He was a guest on Charlemagne’s podcast. There is some salty language in this clip. Not not too bad, but some salty words that I normally don’t use on the podcast, but in this case, I’m gonna let them go.
If you don’t like salty language, you’ve been warned, but I’m pretty confident you can handle it. Here’s Andrew Schultz talking to Charlemagne. Look, I know I had Trump on the podcast, you know, and I’m away explaining that, but let me let me just clarify, because I think it is important to say, like, I know how I had him on the podcast, and like, so I when I’m talking out about this. I’m not doing it to like, you know, get people to be like, oh, you’s a good guy or whatever like that, or trying to get anybody on my side. I understand that this is a horrific event that happened.
I objectively want to talk about it. I’m not trying to like win anybody over in this. You understand, you know, it just me right and wrong right, wrong. And there’s a difference between like respecting and honoring the Constitution, the backbone of our country, and then completely shredding it. And this is completely shredding it.
And now they’re realizing that people have noticed it, and now they’re. Trying to backtrack it. But by the way, he’s been wiping his ass with the constitution. Sure, and I’ve been on a record a million times saying, like whenever when he said we should terminate the Constitution to overthrow the results of an election, she liked, that got to be disqualifying if you run O for president. So here’s a for example.
So it’s like, I know that there are people sounding the alarms about this. When I saw these last few weeks in minnesot I didn’t think this was possible. Happen in United States in America. I’m being one hundred percent here to white people, no, to anybody, but you’ve seen it happen to black people. Yes, yes, to white people no, no, no, it is no.
I don’t I mean, I didn’t know that this was possible to happen in the United States of America when I’m specifically talking about with this situation here and like not only this one, but also what we’ve seen ICE doing, like entering homes without warrants, like arresting people. It is unconstitutional. And they’ve done this weird thing where like they have like a federally administrative warrant, which is some bullshit. It doesn’t even allow you to actually have access into a home. Yeah, they’re trying to find ways around the system.
And what that says to me, when you’re willing to shred the constitution to preserve your it’s not only your power, but your ideas of what should happen is incredibly Unamerican. The Daily cos rights mega broadcaster Andrew Schultz seems to have reached an epiphany. He’s realized that Trump is a liar, that ICE are a pack of unconstitutional goons who have tried to break into people’s homes and viciously shoot down American citizens in the streets. Well, they execute their First and Second Amendment rights. Shockingly, he doesn’t like it.
The Daily Cos rights this conversion presents us with several questions. How do weeds Democrats react to this? Option one? Do we openly embrace it and welcome to the land of the sane and rational? The coz gets into some previous examples of things mister Trump has said, and they asked the question why didn’t Andrew and other magas realize that he meant that stuff back then?
Option number two? Do we continue to flog Andrew Schultz for his previous Trump support? Option three? Do we demand that Andrew Schultz grovel, genuflect and apologize for his past transgressions? The Cos writes they were willing to sell out their fellow Americans to gain a larger piece of the pie for themselves.
Do we need them to explain that themselves and admit they were wrong? Because if they don’t, won’t they likely to follow the same circus trick again? Option four? Do we ignore Andrew Schultz? The COZ writes, does it even matter what we think of him?
Does he really need a warm embrace and a wet kiss from the already existing anti Trump crowd. If he’s insincere, he’ll soon jump on the next bandwagon. There’s nothing we can do to stop him. If he means what he’s saying, he’s going to still feel that way whether we embrace him or not. He’s a grown man.
He can make up his own mind. And it’s nice that he finally broke in our direction, But we weren’t the ones who finally convinced him to do that. And option five is do we use Andrew Schultz writes the codes their premise? On the other hand, could Schultz as an influencer be a potential gateway to leading other magas out of the wilderness, regardless of how we feel and react to him. Could he be a pied piper directing many others away from the evils of mega madness?
Should we encourage this because many more megas are more likely listen to him questioning and leaving the cult rather than listen to us. I know this is heavy. I’ll remind you I did ten minutes on Kermit the Frog yesterday. Andrew Schultz, on his own podcast, was discussing the Epstein list. Schultz said, if you bring up another fing pedophile about deporting and you’re not releasing the Epstein list, just shut the f up, all of you.
Yeah, I don’t want to hear anything else about Oh hey, we got to deport the pedophiles. They’re right here, there’s a list of them, and you’re not exposing it. Corract writes we shouldn’t punish Andrew Schultz for turning on Trump, but that doesn’t mean he gets a pass for his part in Trump’s resurgence. Their premise, schultz way too recent epiphany naturally has the Internet ragging on him and reminding him of his throated an endorsement of Trump during the last general election. But does the anti Trump fashion of the comedy community really want one of the most successful and influential podcasters in the country running back to the other side.
Kathy Griffin called out Joe Rogan for platforming right wing people and pushing conspiracy theories. I’ll remind you I did ten minutes on Kermit the Frog yesterday. Okay, just go back here. Listen. Kathy was in Your Dreams with Owen Feel Apparently that’s a podcast and Kathy Griffin recounted an interaction with a critic on the street.
The critic on the street tried to convince me of all Joe’s conspiracy theories and all of his weird supplements and his popping veins. I knew Joe back in the day when he had hair and was a comic, and I liked him and he was nice, and now he’s turned into this really powerful very much, but he doesn’t say it right wing guy who platforms right wing people, and bros really believe him. The straight bros. They’re not getting vaccinated because of doctor Joe Rogan. All right, John, make this fun, okay, switching gears completely.
Heidi Gardner explained she was fired from Saturday Night Live. She was on Mike Birbigley’s podcast. Birbiggley was riffing with Heidi Gardner and said the thing would crush me is if I worked on something and then someone was like, you can’t do it. Gardner agreed that getting sketches cut was hard and said I ended up getting cut. I feel like more than anyone in the world when I was doing it.
After a while, you get to a point where you’re like, well, I’m comfortable here I’m good, I’m comfortable, like I get just have fun. But no matter what, you’re always stressed. It’s high stakes and you care so much. It was always like the worst thing that could happen, or the worst thing that could happen was not getting to do your thing that week, And it was just there were so many worst things that could happen. At least one of the worst things would always happen.
Now people are looking at Heidi’s quote where she said, quote, I mean comma, I ended up getting cut. Now, as I read that, I’m taking that to mean her sketches were cut. However, The New York Post had reported that Gardner’s contract was terminated. Dana Carvey had previously said that he’d heard Gardner was not asked to return for The New York Post had quoted an anonymous insider who said Heidi’s contract was not renewed. Quote, it’s time for a new cast, which reminds me the internet has decided, and I agree.
Ashley Padia is the new star Saturday Night Live and she’s not even main cast yet, but she will be. She’s the breakout star. Snl UK has a premiere date this from Late Night Er SNL UK will premiere Saturday, March twenty, first airing on Sky streaming on Now you’ll find me in international waters if you know what I mean. I want to check this out. Season one is just six episodes.
The cast has been revealed. I don’t recognize any of these names, but I’m sure they’re wonderful. SNL UK lead producer James Longman, who used to work for Cordon and said the UK is absolutely packed with incredible comedy talent right now. In this cast represents the freshest voices we have. They’re bold, exciting and of course incredibly funny.
Same format as SNL USA live study, audience opening monologue, sketches, live music, and some version of weekend Update this weekend on this very program. Tomorrow super Bowl preview a lot of comedians doing funny commercials. At least I hope they’re funny. We’ll talk about the tomorrow and then Sunday I have an interview with comedian Ismo. He’ll be at the Vancouver just for a Laughs Comedy festival.
He’s really cool. Talk to him for about half an hour. I SMO. If you’ve got a minute, google Ismo Conan. He’s got a bit about the word ass, which is brilliant.
And then he’s got a full Netflix special up from eight hundred Pound Gerilla that I watched that last Sunday, very very funny. He’s Ismo, and I think you’ll come out of Sunday show going Hey, I like that guy. It is Friday. It is time to hit the comedy stock market. Take it away, Burt Reynolds comedy stock market.
We will keep it simple this week. Two recommendations for you. We’re gonna buy some Dave Chappelle. I feel like Dave Chappelle. He’s back, not just from the Rion Comedy Festival, No, he’s totally back.
He’s going to do that show in Minnesota. He’s paling around with John Stewart. These are times when we need someone who is good with the words. And I think the time is right for Dave Chappelle to come out of hiding. Let’s buy some Dave Chappelle stock before he hits Minnesota.
And the other person we’re gonna buy stock in is Ismo. I just told you why. He’s great. So Dave Chappelle and Ismo are our comedy stock market picks for this week. We’re not gonna sell anybody, will keep it positive from page six.
Industry insiders say they keep seeing Adam Sandler on the Fox Lot. That’s where they film the mask singer. Is Adam Sandler going on the mask singer? They don’t think so. It is believed that Adam Sandler has moved his Happy Medison offices from the Pacific Palisades to the Fox Lot.
Sandlor’s company had been in Palisades Village, which is one of the rare stretches of land that escaped last year’s fires. Sources say Adam Sandler did not want to subject his staff to the toxic fumes in the area.
Also, and this is a real thing.
There’s nowhere to get lunch and I’m not saying that Flippandtly, a source close to Adam Sandler says, you live seven minutes from the Fox Lot, and he asked his employees is this closer for you? He would have gotten a free deal over at Netflix, but he wanted to make sure his employees are closer to home and having an easier ride. Adam Sailor is a good guy, a family man. I love the way he dresses. Right now, I’m wearing sweatpants, a yellow hoodie and a Knick’s hat.
So I’m sure Adam Sandler and I could be friends. We only disagree on one thing, and that one thing is he is terrible at comedy, but he’s a great dramatic actor and a solid guy. Ben Bankis, that’s the guy that made the jokes about the fatal shootings in Minnesota. He’s joked about both of them. Do you want to go see his comedy?
He’s up in Rochester tonight. He’ll be at the Carlson Right off Blossom Road. Two shows tonight, seven and nine, two shows tomorrow, seven and nine. Thirty bucks. I’ll get you in.
And Bill Cosby in the news. This is the story is about a week old, but I just saw it. Bill Cosby’s longtime representative, Andrew Wyatt, is speaking out after Bill Cosby allegedly confessed to refilling his colude prescription in hopes of using them on women. Wyatt told Us Magazine, I’m hurt and disappointed. He was like a father to me.
Broke my heart when I saw this today. The saw this as referring to a TMZ report on January twenty eighth. That report from TMC says that Cosby admitted under oath that he had a recreational prescription for queludes and refilled it seven times with the intent of drugging women to have intercourse with them. Andrew Wyatt said, I was the only one who visited him in prison. I was the one who walked him out of prison, not his attorney.
I truly believed in his innocence. I believed in what he was telling me. Someday I will tell you some Bill Cosby stories. You’re gonna have to wait for mister Cosby to pass away for me to tell them to you. But I have Bill Cosby stories for you, and someday I will share them.
That is your comedy news for today. All right, Tomorrow super Bowl preview, and Sunday Ismo drops by. You have an awesome weekend.
