Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnnie Mack with today’s Daily Comedy News. Josh Pick shot back at Amy Schumer’s recent criticism of Joe Coy’s Golden Globes monologue. Right, you got this, Joe Coy was so mean to Taylor Swift, and then Amy didn’t like that, and then Josh Peck commented. Josh was on the Good Guys podcast and said, I took issue with Amy Schumer, who recently was on the Deer Media podcast.
She was asked about Joe Cooy. I feel defensive of comedians. It’s a brotherhood, it’s a sisterhood. And she was basically critical of Joe Cooy. She was throwing him under the bus, which was crappy because she’s a comedian.
It’s like, we all know he had a tough night. Why continue to go after him. A month later, Peck noted he isn’t a comedian himself, but his comedian friend Jannis Pappus shared his thoughts. Yanna said, the jokes are fine. He just wasn’t confident because it was such an intimidating room and they weren’t giving him love.
He was undeserving of all the backlash. You may call that Taylor Swift basically murdered Joe Cooy’s career after Joe told this horribly mean joke. I’m afraid to even share with you. It’s so vicious. But let’s listen.
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear, Oh man, that is just so mean. I don’t know how Joe Koy could have possibly said such a mean thing about Taylor Swift.
Schumer at one point had been on the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast. I hadn’t seen any pick up about this interview, but apparently she said if the audience doesn’t laugh, then it’s a problem. The thing with Joe he threw his writers under the bus, and that was not a good look. Now pay attention to this next part is this sop? Do people do this?
I’ve been around enough comedians and I don’t know that this is done. Amy apparently said, if I’m gonna say a joke about anyone, I’m going to clear it, like I cleared my jokes to Leah Ardo DiCaprio. I cleared it with these people because I don’t want to make that mistake. Really, hey, Leo, are you okay with these Really? That’s really interesting to me.
Now. Amy runs in a particular circle of the elite, and I guess she likes staying in that circle. Amy added that it does not feel good when the whole internet is mad at you and clarified that she does not wish that on anyone. Peck’s co host Ben said, if you’re bombing, you don’t need to tell us that you’re bombing. Because your writers suck.
He threw them under the bus. You know what, it was a live show. The guy riffed a joke. I really, it’s not that bad. Kid over yourselves writers.
Meanwhile, Amy Schumer hilariously crashes two wedding photoshoots in New York. You know, when you’re out there and you’re doing your wedding shoot and you’re paying this photographer, and you know you want to make sure everything is perfect for your big day. You definitely want Amy Schumer coming in and crashing her photos so she gets to do Instagram posts. That’s what you’re looking for. I know I was when I got married.
Amy sheared these on her Instagram story. She’s dressed in workout gear as she posed next to two different couples in wedding attire. Kind of curious that she ran into two different people. The first couple were posing in front of the Manhattan Skyline and holding flowers, and they smiled for the camera as Amy Schumer stood next to them in a pair of sunglasses. She captured the pick no days off.
The second couple, sitting in front of some greenery in a park, were also joined by Amy as she took a seat at the end of the bench. Amy has done this before. Back in twenty seventeen, that couple told E News at the time that Amy got out of her car and asked for a pick with us. She congratulate us, she can let us take some photos by her car. After we had finished taking photos, she offered us a lift to our reception as we were hailing a cab.
Last April, Schumer interrupted another wedding photo shoot. They wrote, it’s got to be great luck when Amy Schumer crashes her wedding. She just walked right up to us and asked to be in some photos. Now, let me ask you how often do you run into photo shoots? I’m from New York City.
I grew up in Queen’s I worked in Manhattan for decades. I’ve spent the last ten years more or less in the suburbs. So, you know, maybe wedding photography has exploded since COVID. I don’t know. But what is going on here?
Amy? Are you just randomly constantly running into wedding shoots? Are you going to the places where people often do wedding shoots on purpose? Is this some sort of stunt? Johnny Max suspicious radar is going Eh?
What is going on here? Kyle Kenane was on Late Night with Seth Myers. Kyle explains where he got the name for his new special, Dirt Nap with Seth, and the whole vibe was weird. The whole clip is on the internet if you want to watch it. It’s eight minutes long.
But it just seems like, I don’t know, we’re ten years into this does Late Night with Seth Meyers matter. The vibe is just weird, low energy here, let’s listen to Kyle. Dirt Napp is a unique title for a stand up special. Yeah, and it’s also the name of your Yeah Yeah all right, pee, little dirty, she’s up there in heaven now. It was.
It was a straight cat that was living in the yard of this house we moved into. And you know, you can’t really name a stray cat, so it went through some miiterations. At first we were calling it Helen. We thought it was blind and deaf, so my girlfriend named it dat so you’re not mad at me, you’re mad at her.
And then I was calling a dirt napp on account of you know, was just sleeping …
And how many is so it seemed like you maybe didn’t get a lot of good years with dirt app. We got three great years up time, three great years. We found it was a sixteen year old cat. From it, it was a sixteen year old straight cat that we’re like, all right, we’re gonna give this thing the best sunset we can give it. Well, that’s fantastic.
You did that. Yeah, yeah, you want to see the special now you can pay ten dollars to see it on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla website. It’ll be on YouTube on April second to at eight pm Eastern. Paste Magazine spent the ten Bucks or got a review copy, and they say Dirt Nap draws offbeat parallels between vegan caesadillas and religion, calls bs on Vin Diesel’s post mission sex drive in the Fast and Furious movies, and applies improv rules to phone calls with his mother. They liked it a lot.
Rommi Yusef will have a special called More Feelings. This will be on HBO Max Max Max, HBO HBO Max. I think this is on proper HBO whatever that means these days. There is a trailer. Let’s listen.
I’m done apologizing. I’m done saying that we’re peaceful. For twenty years, we’ve had to prove to people that we’re safe. Right, every time you turn on CNN, there’s like some Arab dude talking about how Islam means peace. You know that guy, but he’s always shouting it.
He’s always like, we come in peace. They’re like, bro, that’s the slogan for aliens. The official description tells us Siami rucep will offer his unique reflections on our divided world, expected perils of charitable giving, and more and hit on top of it, including the twenty twenty four presidential election, the importance of prayer, and a childhood book report that changed the course of his life. I sat down and I watched Hannah Gatsby’s Gender Agenda. I had to actively look for it.
I thought Netflix would put it in front of me, and apparently Netflix has profiled Johnny Mack and thought Johnny Mack would have no interest in this. No, no, no, I really like Douglas. Nennette I think is overrated. Something could both be good and overrated. Nenette is good, but people treated that like it was the second coming of comedy.
It’s fine, but tap the brakes people. I actually think Douglas is funnier than Nnette. Okay, so it’s good, but it’s overrated, you know what I mean. So, as I started this thing, I was loving it. The first twenty minutes or so Hannah as host, I thought they crushed it.
Then just Tom came out and absolutely crushed that first fifteen minutes of Gender Agenda is amazing, and then it started to be diminishing. Return by no means bad, but maybe it was just the high of the first fifteen that it just couldn’t sustain. I actually paused it, so I didn’t bail on it. I intend to go back, but it’s getting a little tired. I’m like, I want to give this more of a shot, but the front half of that really good.
I’m not sure if it makes the list or not. I need to actually finish it, but I recommend you seek out on Netflix. Hannah Gatsby, Gender Agenda, Hanna, it’s old people. I asked myself, what’s something positive that I could do to leverage my platform, the little bit of power I have to try and humanize the presence of gender queer and trans comedians on the Netflix platform. It felt really important to help gender queer performers find their feet, and me being a slightly divisive figure means they’ll be a little bit of fuss made and hopefully it’ll draw attention.
Joel McHale commented on the community movie Ashtag six Seasons in a movie. He shared something details. He said, we go to the center of the Earth. It’s like the movie The Core. That’s different than what Donald Glover said, who said it’s a college reunion.
Joel was obviously joking, but he does believe the community movie will shoot this year. He’ll be shocked if it doesn’t, but I really do think it’s happening this year and probably next week. It’s basically working around Donald’s schedule. He called his Animal Control cast one of the funniest groups of people I’ve been around, in contrast to the Community team, who he joked with just a bunch of hacks. Ken Jung will be on Animal Control this season as a dog whisperer.
Joel said he too, is a hacked and can’t act or tell jokes. He’s not funny, not successful, and I’ve carried him for years. Everyone thinks I’m joking, but it’s true. Joel then got serious again and said Ken’s episodes were coming in too long because he did so much funny stuff. He was really too effing funny and it ticked me off.
Indy Wire has the trailer for that Steve Martin documentary that’s coming out. I’ve mentioned this before. It’s in two parts. The first part is about Steve’s stand up, which is the part that me The second part is about his acting career and the banjo stuff, and like, I don’t care about that stuff, but the first part I’m really interested in. Here, let’s listen to a piece of the trailer, and if you bought my album and you came down here expecting me to do a lot of her teams from the record, and I didn’t.
Well, this guy was getting people so happy. I always thought, this just does not happen, and it did. He’s the most idolized comedian ever. He reinvented stand up. It was a cultural phenomenon.
My name is Steve Martin. Steve Martin. What he was doing was unique. It was chancey. I always thought of him as the door out of the sixties.
You could be silly again. All comedy was political, and I felt that it was time to change that. Steve Martin has just taken the big leap onto the big screen. I was launched into the stratosphere titled Steve, It’s a documentary in two pieces. The then portion chronicles Steve Martin’s early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionized stand up before walking away at thirty five.
The now section focuses on the present day with Steve Martin and the golden years of his career, et cetera, et cetera. Martin had previously told Indy Wire when I finished stand up comedy in nineteen eighty, I never wanted to see a live audience again. I did movies for ten or twenty years and only occasionally would be found in front of a live audience for you know, award shows or chatty events or something like that.
And now it’s the only place I want to be, meaning touring with Martin Short.
I like having the audience there. They’re predisposed to like you because they bought a ticket and predisposed to listen and not judge you every two seconds. He sounds like John Clees there. Steve premiere’s March twenty ninth on Apple TV plus people stunned about, just for laughs, Montreal being canceled. I was getting texts from former co workers and industry friends and we all had the same reaction of like, wow, I can’t believe that happened.
This. CBC spoke to comedian Mike Critch. They were curious that is something like this happened because it looks like a big success. Mike said that show business, though everything is fake and show business, but I don’t think people realize how big that organization is. You know, it’s the festival, it’s all the spin offs, it’s a TV show based on that.
It’s a million different things and festivals all around the world. So maybe it’s a case of getting bigger than they can handle, but also coming out of a pandemic, show business has had a hard time as anyone, if not harder. There’s one thing you need for comedy show, and that’s audiences. I’m wondering, as are some of the Toronto media, what’s going to happen with the Toronto Festival. I assume that too will be canceled this year, which thinks.
Got some album news for you today. About a year ago, Andrew Santino put out a Netflix special called Cheeseburger that is now out in audio form. Minneapolis based comedian Eliehino is releasing her debut comedy album on April fifth. It’s called Soft Bones, a compilation of stories about being an ADHD mom, a weird wife, and a regular human woman. They were kind enough to send over a clip.
Let’s listen. So I’m a massage therapist, but I’m also a gemini, so yeah, I don’t like to do stuff just normal. So I’m a massage therapist for a hospice. Yeah, thank you, Yes, i am I’m an angel. Thank you.
And for those of you who don’t know what hospice is, it’s pretty funny stuff. It’s comfort care for the terminally ill. And I’m actually an independent contractor, so I don’t have like a four oh one K or anything. But I am going to heaven. Just kidding, that’s not real.
We’re just going back to space. That’s Elie Heinos Soft Bones. April fifth. Liz Meely will have a new stand up special called Murder Sheets Tuesday, April second, free on YouTube nine Eastern Film Live at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn, and Liz hit the stage with a rapid fire storytelling style to tell tales of dating, murder, rules, about edibles, international touring, dead cats, and more. It’s Lizmeili Murder Sheets.
April second. Kevin Casey White has released her on eight hundred Pound Gorilla That’s out now harang as a masterful exercise and audience interaction. Kevin’s crowd work is the centerpiece and he uses it positively, trying to draw the audience together rather than picking on the crowd. Camail nan Jianni, part of a press release, a snack food company has a new campaign called It’s Basically Cheating. The campaign features Academy Award an Emmy nominated writer, actor, and comedian Kamail non Jianni in an unexpected and satirical series of spots where he cheats at weightlifting, kayaking, and ice skating.
He even goes as far as to hire a construction crew to build himself an epic forty foot tall sand castle. His sharp wit and playful delivery punctuate the core campaign theme that eating Quest products are so good that it feels like cheating. Stuart Heflin is a suit at Quest, and he said a Quest we aim to revolutionize snacking by flipping the macros of all the foods you love upside down so they’re big on protein, low on sugar, and huge on in flavor. No, this is not a commercial. I’m just reading the press release to you, Stuart, the suit says.
The campaign leans into the idea that we all need a good cheat or life hack to make our personal quests a little easier and a lot more fun. Partnering with great comedic talent like Camal does that just to injict cheeky entertainment and cultural relevance into our brand vision. The Connecticut Post asked Joe Parra, this is a weird exchange. Joe, can we ask you about your tomato obsession for a second. It’s all over your Instagram.
Joe said, sure. The post said I saw one theory on line saying you’re a big Buffalo Bill’s fan, and Bill’s fans allegedly hate Tom Brady. Tom Brady doesn’t like tomatoes. Is there something along those lines of football and superstitions and stuff like that? Joe said, couple of things.
I will say that Bill’s fans don’t allegedly hate Tom Brady. They do hate Tom Brady, and rightfully so. You see your man spinning out right now. He’s doing cryptocurrency commercials getting the fat sucked out of his face. We knew it all along.
Secondly, that has nothing to do with the tomatoes. One of the interesting things about doing comedy and seeing some of the stuff, the theories that people have online is it just makes you realize how much people like to mix up on the internet with no basis. And that’s your comedy news for today. All right, that was fun. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.
Trying to grow this thing, appreciate your help in doing that. If you enjoy the show, you gonna buy me coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I gotta get back on the iced coffees and lay off the smoothies. The bellies getting a little round, I gotta cut that out. Maybe don’t buy me a coffee.
No, buy me a coffee. I’ll just stop siphoning the funds off to smoothie Land. See you tomorrow.
