The Shark Deck. Friends, it’s a great time to be alive. Hi, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News Jenny Mack. Why is it a great time to be alive? Well, great question, here’s the answer.
Friday we get a new Adam Sandler movie. Isn’t that exciting? Yes? Now, as you know, there are only four good Adam Sandler movies. They are uncut Gems, Hustle, and the two with Drew Barrymore.
But luckily for everyone, Murder Mystery two is out on Netflix on Friday. Now. Jennifer Anniston wants to next level this thing. She plays Sadler’s wife and Murder Mystery and Murder Mystery too. But she recognizes that it’s Drew Barrymore that can make Adam Sandler films good, so she suggests the three of them do a film together.
Can you imagine? Anniston said, we thought it’d be funny because it was a Twitter thing a couple of years ago, and they’re always sort of comparing us. Yes, I’ll do that right now. Is Drew Barrymore in the movie, Yes, then it’s good. Is Drew Barrymore not in the Adam Sandler movie, It’s likely not good, unless it’s of course hustle or uncut gems.
Anyway, Annison said, they’re always sort of comparing us, who’s the better movie wife or movie love barrymore So, we just thought we’d do a little bit on that. Mark Twain Prize winner Adam Sandler said, Jennifer is going to write it. There’s no competition, just two great ladies that would be amazing doing a movie all together. She says Aniston made playing a married couple comfortable. She doesn’t miss she’s funny, We lock in together, we do love each other, and calls Anniston one of the funniest people I know.
Some of the other funny people that Adam Sandler knows her Rob Schneider and Kevin James and Maya Rudolph. Yeah. Bonnie McFarlane has a scripted series based on her memoir You’re Better Than Me. The project is inspired by McFarland’s times on high school or in Cold Lake, Alberta in the mid nineteen eighties. She was served as the creator and writer for the half hour series, which takes place on a farm two hundred ninety four kilometers outside the nearest pizza delivery zone.
There a sixteen year old Bonnie flexes her smart mouth, hangs out whether her bff bovine, and recognizes that she’s not the easiest person in the world to get along with, neither she nor her cow or part of the in crowd. Bonnie is desperate to escape her farm and see the world. There’s just one thing stopping her herself and a bunch of other stuff. She says, the project is a testament to the first person that believed in it. If not for Anthony Bourdaine, I would not have been forced to write about my past.
What a joy it’s been working with the amazing team at Cineplex, revisiting the most embarrassing period of my life. Very interesting. Sam Murel talked to Yahoo about being interviewed on David Letterman’s that that’s my time, and he said, somebody I’ve always looked up to. There are a few people that can do what he’s done in history. He’s an icon.
I feel fortunate to be able to be interviewed by him at this time in his career. It’s cool that he’s really uninteresting and that curious. A lot of interviewers aren’t like that. It was surreal to beyond Dave Letterman Show with him asking me about my rooftop parties. Sam says, it’s good to start coming to young because you’re too young to know how hard it is.
It’s different when you take your act beyond friends. It takes a minute. You have to learn how to be funny to strangers. But they’re advantages to doing it new York. You don’t know what you’re up against with other comedians.
You hope other comedians will give you the benefit of the doubt to get better, and it did get better. There’s a bluntness. New Yorkers have an energy that New York has have. New Yorkers are always ticked off. And I love this next part.
I was watching The Taking of Pelham one, two three. I assume he means the original recently, and I think I love that movie so much because everybody’s in a bad mood, all the blue collar workers, the mayor, everyone’s ticked off, and there’s something really innited about that feeling. But he also says, I love Boston. It’s a beautiful city. There are a lot of similarities between York and Boston.
The people in Boston are funny people. They’re funny. There’s a cynicism to Boston people. I really like they could be mean and warm at the same time. Mark Marrin made some headlines on music websites because he referenced the band Tool last week and said their music has to be planted, young dude.
If it wasn’t planted in my weird, angry adolescent head, that’s where it happens. But I missed all that, So there I was like in my forties listening to Tool. But they were comedy fans. They were Bill Hicks fans. There’s a painting of Hicks and one of their records.
But apparently he doesn’t like Tool because he got into them too late. Bill Maherr went in on the Hollywood Napo babies. These are the children of famous people that somehow get gigs in Hollywood. Oh there are a lot of them, Moore said, doesn’t make them bad people who are untalented. But let’s also admit they weren’t the only ones who could have done it.
So enjoy the good life, Nippos. Just don’t say you didn’t have a big advantage. This is show business, getting your foot in the doors eighty percent of it, he said. Yeah, there are difficult roles but since children, Vin Diesel, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Steven Seagal and even Bill Mark can act, it’s not nuclear physics. He says sports is different.
In sports, there are no Nepple babies. Leila Lee did and knock out twenty one opponents by smacking them with a birth certificate. Dana Dute said intermittent fasting is here to stay. It’s making me lose friends at a fast clip. I can’t stand the out food windows they give themselves.
Say Dan, let’s meet for lunch at three forty eight pm. I’m going to order on the drive over so the food is ready when we get there. Because I haven’t eaten since six thirty six pm last night. I have twelve minutes deep breakfast, lunch, of dinner. They show up all jintary from fifteen cups of uncut black coffee.
Could see it now. Don’t make any consent with me. Is I dislocate my jaw so I can shove a stack of pancakes or Ribby and twelfth Canolian and my gullet. If three minutes to talk to me before I go into a deep sleep for fourteen hours so my body can digest the ten thousand calories. I just savage, this is the key to living a longer life.
Who was a live like that? The trailer for My Name Is Monique is the special appear on Netflix April fourth. Some of the things in her trailer and I’m going to have to really really paraphrase and clean this up here. Use your own imagination, and what isn’t your imagination? I’ll leave that between you and your dirty brain friends.
And my name is Monique. We’ll get a greater understanding of her as a person. Okay, a story about being put in a straight jacket. Okay, the advice you received from her grandmother about hm hm doing things. Yeah, I’m making you wait, I’m drawing this out doing things with a mouth.
Oh, you dirty brain, Look look at what you’re thinking. Well, you’re right. That is the topic, her disdain for beliefs and a clear definition of what it means to be a white white person. She says, this is going to be some special If you like what I do here.

By early, I mean the afternoon before the official release, although if I’m working in advance, sometimes you’ll wake up like you’ll wake up yesterday and of today’s episode. I had a pretape today. I was having a little routine medical procedure yesterday. So either A, I’m fine and I’ll see tomorrow or B this is the last episode ever.
Tune in tomorrow to find out. From comedy dot co dot UK, Alfie Brown has apologized for a historic stand up routine in which he used racist language. Video of the routine from twenty fifteen, in which he says the N word has been circulating on social media, so he readdressed this and the two in eclip. Brown reflects upon the origin and use of the N word, the creation of racial slurs, in the nature of offense. In a statement on Twitter, he wrote, I agree with all the criticism of the video being circulated and apologized unreservedly for the abhorrent racial language I used.
It was recorded in twenty fifteen and years ago I realized my mistake made every attempt to remove it, not because I was scared of it being found, but because it was wrong and hurtful. I was ignorant. It was a young comedian’s arrogant to be transgressive, as the routine’s intention was to be anti racist, but it was stupid. I regret it, and have regretted it for a long time. It became clear to me that using the language wasn’t ever justified, even trying to undermine it.
I’ve never suffered racism, and now years later, this material is causing pain to the people who have I apologize deeply for it. Comedian Nabil Abdul Rashid appeared alongside Brown at the Forge Comedy Festival last week and tweeted, not gonna lie, It’s very fortunate for you that you weren’t doing this material when we gig together on Saturday. WTF. I genuinely am sick and tired of these guys thinking, because they can dress this stuff up in foe intellectualism, it’s okay to say this stuff. He knows very well he couldn’t do this in front of an audience when even a handful of black people orasions were present.
Brown had addressed the bit before saying I wanted to do a bit about modern slavery, and slavery is more offensive than the word. The fact that he were shocked by the use of the word. Everybody should be more shocked and more shocked by modern slavery, the myriad ways in which modern slavery takes place, but the fact that we all react to a word, and I have no about the individual pain that it caused. But I essentially, in terms of modern slavery, I just chose to offend people with the words too highlight the horror of something I felt was more important than just a reactional language. This week on the CW, it’s The Great American Joke Off.
They’ll say Sloane is your host. The panelists include Ed Gamble, Tom Allen, Milton Jones, Glenmore, and Rees Jeames on The Great American Joke Off, comics trade wise, cracks and one liners in a series of fast paced rounds. Some American comics in The Great American Joke Off include Mosha Kasher and Natasha La Jerro, Joe List and Mark Norman. That’s pretty good. Producers say the teams are tested on their skill and everything from crafting joke setups, creating punchlines and providing photo captions to performing solo spots, dropping risk ay innuendos, and ranting about life’s petty irritations.
All right, don’t I have to check that one out? Shmikadoon is coming back for season two. Season one often parody the golden age of musical theater. Season two is heading forward in time, and they wind up parodying things like Chicago, Sweeney Todd Cabaret, Sweet Charity, and Hair that Should be Fun. Your stars Cecily Strong and Mac Packer Keegan Michael Key.
The Milburne Comedy Festival continues. Steve Hill is bringing The Sexy Environmentalist to the festival. The Sexy Environmentalist is a high octane mix of environmentalism and sexiness. Will that makes sense at a last ditch effort to unite humanity and save the planet with a thing that’s kept humans in existence. Sex times running out.
But according to Steve, the green movement has its tactics all wrong. We’re not going to change the world by making people feel guilty about their life choices. Instead, we need to make it sexy now. Normally, at this point I would take a look at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and suggests some shows that we might see if we were there. But I’ve tried loading the Thursday’s schedule five times and no matter how many times that load it, it pops up one day’s schedule.
I even went in and manually changed the URL to put the right date, and it still took me to the wrong date. So I don’t know who’s playing tonight. So let’s not go. That’s your comedies for today. Follow the show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows.
