The Shark Deck, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News with the writer strike, We’re not gonna have late night jokes for a while, and I kind of like having them at the top of the show. So Luckily there’s chat cheept Now and the Late Bot. So when you hear me talking about late Bot and the upcoming shows, that’s what I’m talking about. Late Bots, says Tucker Carlson’s text are like a train wreck. You don’t want to look, but you can’t help yourself, unless, of course, you’re a Fox News viewer.
Tucker Carlson’s text were so offensive they even made Fox News executives blush. I guess they’re not used to seeing anything that’s not white and conservative. I hope Tucker Crosson’s text have taught us all a valuable lesson. Never trust a man who wears a boat’s eye. Tucker Carlson’s texts have been called juicy and explosive, which is exactly what you expect from a guy wears a boat tie in twenty twenty three.
Those aren’t terrible. They’re not great, but they’re not terrible, and I think the writers are justified in being a little worried about the Bot because remember, and people keep explaining this about AI. This is as bad as AI is going to get right. AI is only going to get better. So imagine Late Bought a year from now, when it’s really tuned up.
One more from Late Bot. Kevin Costner is getting a divorce. I guess he finally found out that Field of Dreams was a warning. If you build it, they will come, and if they come, they’ll leave. Saturday Night Live will not produce any episodes for a while.
Again the reason the strike. That means the episode with Pete Davidson has been canceled. They’ll be in reruns till further notice. We’ll talk about Pete Davidson the second half of the show. Jay Leno showed up to pick it outside the Walt Disney studios in Burbank, and he began handing out donuts.
Jay was warmly met by union members with cries of thank you and we love you. Jay. John Mulaney has canceled his FYC events which were to promote Baby j Mullaney ready w GA strike rules which forbid promotional events. The WGA’s f a Q says you should let the company know you were prohibited from making these promotional appearances about your work until the strike concludes. For the same reason, John Stewart canceled an FYC event for second season of the Problem with John Stewart.
According to Deadline, Stewart was scheduled for a conversation about the show next week, but there is one late night show still in production. Gutfeld he didn’t cancel, the Daily Beast, says an anonymous source told The Daily Beast it’s part of a larger anti union trend at the network. Gutfeld has quote some writers, but there quotes all non union like everyone else who works there. Are interesting. I watched three comedy specials.
Let me tell you about them. I watched Lewis Black’s Tragically I need you. It’s fine. I just didn’t care. It’s Lewis Black doing Lewis Black.
Lewis Black doing Lewis Black is fine. I’ll remind you. I’m an admitted comedy snob. If you’re a new listener, I run serious XM comedy for ten years, So what did I do there? Among other things, I had a radio on my desk playing stand up comedy for ten straight years, all day, every day.
So my brain is really numb to a lot of this. So Lewis Black special, It’s fine. I just didn’t care. Thirteen minutes and I’m like, all right, what else? I was really excited to watch Greg Warren.
I told you about Greg Warren and the peanut butter jokes on yesterday’s podcast. I was so excited for it, and I think, now, I don’t know this personal opinion. In my opinion, it sounded like they added a laugh track. Was one of those comedy specials where every single sentence he said had a laugh and an unrealistic laugh, and it didn’t sound like a normal human being laugh. Greg Warren, You’re on my suspect list really didn’t sound natural, and that turned me off to it.
I was like, get me out of here. Then I felt bad. I was like, oh, I had this big plan. Let me tell the listeners about comedy specialism.
And then I remembered I hadn’t watched Big Jay Oakerson’s special also on You…
I was never all the way into it, but I was entertained. I was kind of second screening Big Jay and I was playing on my phone on Twitter and check an email, and you know you have a phone. You know what you do with John. Why are you explaining what people do on a phone? You know what you do on a phone.
I was doing that. But Big Jay Special was nice company in the background. As any snob, I really appreciate the crowd work. It shows that he’s naturally funny and doing a lot of material in the moments. Yeah, and he’d go back to stuff he clearly had in his back pocket.
But the crowd work was wonderful and it reminded me of how much John Mulaney’s special. It just felt like a performance with a capital P some solid laughs in there. I wrote down in my notes chunk food. You know sometimes you just want a twinkie or half a box of Oreos? Who would do that?
So? Big Jay it’s the half a box of Oreos of comedy specials. Is it amazing? No? Well, it makes the end of the year list.
That’s a good question. The other two I mentioned or not? Let me look at my list here so far number one Kyle Canade two, Nate three, Jay McBride four, Jim Jeffreys five, Harry six Chris Rock. Is Big Jay’s Special better than Chris Rock? No?
Is it better than the roast of mister Peanut. No, but should it be on the list, I’m gonna say yeah, let’s add it right now. You’re hearing this live typing and being at Ja Okerson now at number eight Live list updated POI are you glad to be download the podcast today? Isn’t that exciting? When I have not seen yet?
And I love this guy so can’t wait for this one. Jimmy O Yang his specials called Guess how much You’ll find that on Amazon? And guess how much? Jimmy O Yang gives props to the old Asian lady in Chinatown has been wearing a mask since nineteen ninety five. She’s not random, She’s a trailblazer, he says.
Everyone followed her fashion lead. She’s the Kendall Jinner of Chinatown. Let’s listen to the trailer. It’s never been a better time to be Asian. I mean, come on, we got BTS now even white people know BTS now, that’s progress.
I’m moved to this like boyfriend stuff right. My girl asked me, she was like, what’s your love language? I’m like what. I was raised by Asian parents. Their love language is verbal.
Appears Jimmy O Yang guess how much looking forward to that. It’s out now on Amazon. Brett Goldstein’s Wonderful podcast Films to be Buried with Switching Networks, joining Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network, upcoming guest Ted Lasso, co star Hannah Wattingham, Chappelle’s show writer and comedian A Neil Brennan, and a bunch of others. So that’s cool. If you’ve never heard the podcast, Brett Goldstein brings on guests to discuss the films that have most impacted their lives, based on the premise that they recently died.
Meanwhile, in podcast land, Dana Carvey and Kevin Neilan. Back in the nineties they were going to do a Hans and Franz movie that would have co starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. The movie fell through, however, the scripts survived and will now be a podcast called The Lost Hans and Franz Movie featuring Dana Carvey, Kevin Neil, and Conan O’Brien and Robert Smigel, who co wrote the original script. That one will be out May seventeenth. That should be fun.
Hey, if you want Bobcat Goldway to sign your police Academy poster. He has a surprise for you till the laugh button. I’ll let you in on a secret if you give me a police Academy thing to sign. I haven’t spelled my name correctly in years on a police Academy thing. I’m running behind today in my real life, been a very busy day, So by Meacoffee dot Com, Slush Daiey comedy news.
You know the rap. There. Beat Davidson’s Bubkiss is out and the reviews are not good, and Pete Davidson is very likable and the media enjoys rooting for Pete Davidson, and Pete Davidson usually gets very favorable press. So if they’re writing Bupkiss isn’t that good, that tells me that it’s not good. Haven’t seen it yet, but the av Club did and they said each installment feels like the pilot for a different and frankly inferior show.
Yikes. The first episode chases shock value, while the second plays like a melancholy flashback on an f extramity. Then there’s the one with Charlie Day, which is the most sitcomedy of the gang.
And then there’s the one that’s supposed to be like the Fasten the Furies, bu…
Yikes. In a series highlight, Pete Davidson sits down with John Mulaney, who’s playing John Mulaney TV’s John Mulaney says, your life is fascinating. I don’t know what it’s like to live it, but boy, we do have fun watching it. It’s a good time. Davy Club says, bupkiss is not necessarily a good time, and a lot of it isn’t good period.
Yikes. Hey, hope my former co worker Jamie FOXX is doing okay. They remember he’s been in the hospital. He’s still in the hospital, and TMZ said it was serious enough that family members who were out of town came to the hospital. One source told TMZ he’s communicating now and that’s good news.
His upcoming film, Back in Action, resumed production with Doubles playing the role of Jamie fox Jamie was scheduled to host a game show called Beat Shazam that’s now going to move forward with a replacement host. Again, I hope he’s doing well, but if they’re moving on a replacement host, that tells you something. Friday, The Sydney Comedy Festival. It’s May fifth aka Sinco to Mile. Are they celebrating now?
Dave Thornton has added another show to his chatter, so he must be doing well and good news for me. There’s a clip. Let’s listen, guys. You know, and he found out about this recently. Did you know that there’s fully grown adults out there and they don’t drink coffee?
Did you know they exist? Yeah, there’s always one, isn’t there? Looking at your smile and gun, I just get up with motivation. But there’s more of a public service announcement than anything for people out there who don’t drink coffee. I just want to let you know in the morning, when it’s early, when the rest of us normal people are getting a coffee.
And I say this with all sincerity, I mean this with love. Get out of the way, just because I found myself in a situation pretty early in the morning. I was in the cafe. I’m behind one guy and he just said this with all the confidence in the world. He just said it’s to the guy behind the counter.
He just said he can make Can I just get a takeaway hot chocolate? What are you doing? We need to get a coffee. You need to go to the supermarket and get some Coco pops. That’s not an adult’s order.
You know, I need Choky and me Tom Tom Yo. I’m yah, he’s Deve Thornton. Right. That was fun. I could critique the piecing a little bit.
Let’s get to it. And I had to get rid of a couple of words that started with F. But that was fun enough. Now you know what starts Friday in New Zealand, the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. Some of you were like John, A month of Melbourne, now Sydney, now New Zealand.
We don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere where you stop Australian Beast. Japanese comedian Takashi Wakasugi will be forming his show it’s called Welcome to Japan, And I have a question Austaria. I went to supermarket to get egg right, and there was no free round jag. It’s solded out. The only Kjaggs was there.
Right. The question is can I buy that KJK in the situation I tried to get but that makes me worry. Maybe someone see me and then might think, oh this Asian guys through buying kJ get out it’s not good before the Asian community, right, So I got it. I got it, but I coup up my kJ by other products. Then people cannot see my kJ I caged KJK.
The New Zealand Herald has some good questions for him. First question, what are your strongest memories from the first overseas trip you ever took? Takashi said, I don’t know why people don’t have to dress up in planes, don’t wear skinny jeans when you have a long flight. Worst trip you have ever been on the Gold’s Coast of Australia. The beach was beautiful and I had a super tough comedy gig drunk ausee bogan audiences.
Yes, I love the word bogan when it shows up. Any tips for packing for an overseas strip, always remember to bring a gift.
