Callaroga Shark Media. The reminder normal episodes all the way

2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.640
through and including Thanksgiving. I've got plenty Hey, awesome news,

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.920
Sarah Sherman. We've got a date for her upcoming special.

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.960
It will be on HBO. It is called Sarah Squirm

5
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.120
Live Plus in the Flesh. It will be on HBO Friday,

6
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.800
December twelfth at nine East and West. Now, that's interesting

7
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.600
to me that it's a Friday one. In the past,

8
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.000
the big specials went on Saturday and other specials went

9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.759
on Friday. Not sure why she doesn't get the Saturday spot.

10
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.640
Doesn't really matter. In Live Plus in the Flesh, Sarah

11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.640
Sherman rips off the straight jacket after four seasons counting

12
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.240
on snl unleashing a festering and hilarious hour of bodily fluids,

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.079
open wound confessionals and jokes that will leave scares on

14
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.880
your soul. There is a trailer, but I just can't

15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.719
play it. It's either a lot of music, a lot

16
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:01.000
of faces, or a lot of naughtiness. Ol Hammond reacted

17
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.840
to the President of the United States praising Darryl Hammond

18
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.560
on social media. Darryl Hammond told e W that was tough. No, no, no,

19
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.920
he wasn't upset that the President liked his impression. He

20
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.560
was saying it was tough. When Alec Baldwin took over

21
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.000
as Donald Trump on SNL, Daryl said he didn't like

22
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.959
the transition at the time. I know Lauren Michaels is

23
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.560
a tough guy, but he's not cruel. Darryl told the

24
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.840
EW that at the time he accepted Lauren's creative business

25
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.560
decision to end Daryl's run as Trump on the show.

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.480
Hammond explains, I don't think he would have done that

27
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.359
unless he felt like he had to. At the time,

28
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.560
social media was emerging, YouTube was happening. There was a

29
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.760
need to go viral every week. He made that creative decision.

30
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:37.959
Had it paid off? No, I didn't like it, but

31
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.799
it's the NFL man Saturday Night Live. For all this

32
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.280
frivolity and hilarity. It's not the March of Dimes. It's

33
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.599
a business. But every effort was made to explain things

34
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.879
to me that it wasn't done haphazardly or cruelly. Darryl

35
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.840
exited the show in twenty nineteen. He took over as

36
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.920
the announcer in twenty fourteen. There were times in the

37
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.959
past when you thought you were listening to Don Pardo

38
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.400
and it was actually Daryl Hammond doing an impression of Pardo.

39
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.319
I think Fallon did it a couple of times too,

40
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.040
as Don Parter. As Don Parter got older and sometimes

41
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.080
missed a show. I'm not sure if they've publicly admitted

42
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.360
to that, but that's the thing. Mike Chisholm from The

43
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.000
Letterman Show were one of you late night guys. Let

44
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.439
me know if I have my fax right on that, John,

45
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.039
why don't you google it? Because that's not fun? Michael

46
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.159
texts me, Hi, Mike anyway. E w asked Daryl Hammond

47
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.439
about a twenty eighteen social media message from Trump in

48
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.400
which the president called for Hammond to be reinstated as

49
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.439
the Trump Guy because he's funnier and far greater talent

50
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.000
than Alec Baldwin. Daryl said, I think if a president

51
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.280
tweets about you and suddenly Vladimir Putin knows your name,

52
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.560
you've stepped in history somewhere. My mouth was on the floor.

53
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.280
I couldn't believe that. The first thing I thought was

54
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.439
now the Kremlin's going, who's this guy looking me up?

55
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.280
That's a long way from the Little League fields I

56
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.240
grew up on. I graduated college with a two to one,

57
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.199
and there were five presidents calling me by my first

58
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.080
name when I was on SNL. Feel like it did

59
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.080
pretty good. Apparently Dick Cheney liked Daryl Hammond's impersonation so

60
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.560
much that he once invited Daryl Hammond to perform at

61
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.479
a Republican retreat as Bill Clinton. Hammond says Cheney had

62
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.560
a sense of humor. I still remember his pounding on

63
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.479
the table when I said this joke as Bill Clinton.

64
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.159
I hadn't done Clinton in a while, but the joke was. Boy,

65
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.000
that Dick Cheney, with his hard condition and that electronic pacemaker.

66
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.039
Every time he sneezes the garage door opens. I remember

67
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.800
him pounding on the table and I thought, wow, he's

68
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.719
generous with his time. Kathleen Madigan quietly dropped a special

69
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.599
last week Amazon Prime keeping these things quiet. If you

70
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.520
go on Prime Video, you'll find a special. It's called

71
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.080
The Family Thread, and it stars Kathleen Madigan. We're told

72
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.159
she's laid back, smart, unfiltered, and brutally funny. That's a

73
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.439
very good description of Kathleen. I know her in real life,

74
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.960
hung out, with her several times. Definitely laid back, definitely smart,

75
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.240
definitely unfiltered, definitely brutally funny as she takes on everything

76
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.960
from chaotic family text in Midwest quirks to aging parents,

77
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.479
savage cats, and the fine art of having zero pride.

78
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.759
The La Times, which has a great comedy section, caught

79
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.319
up with Kathleen. They thought the family threat is so

80
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.240
great because it really makes you think of yourself and

81
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.039
our own families, all while you're pretty much roasting yours.

82
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.960
Madigan said, thank you. I'm conscious of the fact that

83
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.800
trying to include everyone, but I could do hours on

84
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.000
my parents and just never stopped. It's endless, and anybody

85
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.639
forty and up is gonna end up dealing with some

86
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.240
version of just crazy old people. Once my sister goes,

87
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.080
I don't remember our great aunts and uncle's being as

88
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.800
crazy as mom and dad can be. And I was like,

89
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.520
because they died of whatever. The first thing was Dad

90
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.319
should have been dead two heart attacks ago. And then

91
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.319
we're in stroke land. My mom had lung cancer and

92
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.399
she's fine. It's good, we're buying them time, but how

93
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.319
much time are we buying and is their quality left?

94
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.160
It's like this will all my friends at this age too,

95
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.000
to mention here and there, stroked out over there. Even

96
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.439
for my younger siblings were forty nine because my parents

97
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.920
had them late. Of course, back then thirty seven was

98
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.319
late to have a kid, And now people are really

99
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.720
pushing it la times. Well, now if you're thirty five

100
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.839
and over, they call it a geriatric pregnancy. Mattigan said,

101
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.160
that's hilarious. I know a bunch of friends of mine

102
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.560
who got pregnant and they don't have to do that

103
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.920
special testing because they were over thirty eight. They didn't

104
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.560
care about that. With my mom, nobody cared what she

105
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.519
was smoking or drinking either. So there's that. My old

106
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.519
family's always been the type where everything's kind of a joke.

107
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.279
At the end of the day. Grandpa used to say,

108
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.199
one hundred years from now, will anyone know the difference?

109
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.120
Not a bad way, but in a light spirited way,

110
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.240
like this life is kind of nonsense, so have fun,

111
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:02.120
live it up. Chelsea Handler will host the Critics Choice Awards.

112
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.920
The awards will be announced Friday, December fifth, the award

113
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.920
show Sunday, January fourth. By the way, the Critics Choice

114
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.920
Awards has added four new categories this Year Best Variety Series,

115
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.279
Stunt Design, Casting, Ensemble and Sound. Chelsea Handler said, kicking

116
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.560
off the year with the Critics' Choice Awards feels right.

117
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.680
Nothing says new beginnings like a room full of critics

118
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.920
ready to tell you how you did last year. We'll

119
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.319
we've been to watch these things live on television on

120
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.680
E and USA from seven to ten pm on Sunday,

121
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.360
January fourth. You know she used to date Joe Coy.

122
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.839
Joe Coy, I don't know if you remember he hosted

123
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.199
the Golden Globes once until this horrible, horrible, mean joke

124
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.160
about Salor Swift. Here, let's listen the big difference between

125
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.319
the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes,

126
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.079
we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I love

127
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.120
that bit. It never gets old. Joe Coy, why are

128
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.519
you mentioning of John other than the fourth to bit? Well, no, no,

129
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.720
there's actual news. I'm not that horrible. Joe Coy is

130
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.759
taping a new special. He's recording at Friday, January sixteenth,

131
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.439
and the next day, which is did you figure it out?

132
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.040
That's right, Saturday, January seventeenth. He's taping at Stockton's Adventist

133
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.360
Health Arena. Organizers say it will be a Netflix special.

134
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.959
Get an early jump on my twenty twenty sixth list.

135
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.600
Patton Oswald was on the Last Laugh podcast. They asked, Patten,

136
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.720
do you think satsire like South Park or the late

137
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.319
night shows is effective in changing people's perceptions of the

138
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.480
Trump administration or people in power? Patton, who's getting as

139
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.079
serious as Harry Conobolo lately, he said, that's hard to say,

140
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.680
only because the only effective satsire right now is satire

141
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.560
that's as insane as the time we're living in. We

142
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.199
are living such hallucinatory times. In order to capture it,

143
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.959
you need to create something that feels less hallucinatory, and

144
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.800
thus it doesn't quite land on you the way it should,

145
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.800
because it's so crazy you can almost discount it a

146
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.279
little bit. Send your letters to Patton Oswald, who said,

147
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.120
you also have to remember when people say that Trump

148
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.639
followers and Maggot people are lost, they're not lost. This

149
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.439
is the only time in their lives they've ever felt

150
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.319
found and seen and understood, and people will hang on

151
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.240
to that until the bitter end. They will never ever

152
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.240
let go of that, even if you show them on

153
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:57.879
a chart, how this guy's robbing you. They're like, he

154
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.439
was nice to me, and no one has ever been

155
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.759
nice to me, no one's ever accepted my horribleness. I've

156
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.399
found people that are like me and I've never had

157
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.959
this and I'm never letting this go. They'll die with

158
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.879
him if they have to. That's why the Democrats drive

159
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.560
me up at wall with this whole reaching across the

160
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.439
aisle thing. Yes, he should try to reach across and

161
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.480
work with them, but you also need technowledge. There are

162
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.639
some people on both sides, and I think way more

163
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.879
on their side that are just permanently unreachable. And by

164
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.360
the way, that's another thing that makes this country great,

165
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.560
that you can have a chunk of people that are

166
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.959
unreachable and the country still functions. Sendor letters to Paton

167
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.040
Oswald pattn New Word Oswalt. Now, if you've been listening

168
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.639
to the show, you know that the President and I

169
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.519
are not aligned on all the issues. Some issues we

170
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.160
are aligned on. For example, make twelve thirty great Again?

171
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.079
Is the late night franchise in the best hands it's

172
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.040
ever been in? Absolutely not, And I think the President

173
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.079
is right to be addressing this that we should make

174
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.600
twelve thirty great again. Josh Johnson. Meanwhile, I do differ

175
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.480
with the President of the United States on this whole

176
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.079
Jimmy Kimmel thing. Again. I don't support fascism. I don't

177
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.279
want the fascists taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air. I

178
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.560
don't just say that green Hulu button that's bottom right

179
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.439
on my Roku remote, and I know where it's there

180
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.639
because I look at it every day, and I go,

181
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.000
I'm not pressing you. I'm gonna walk up three flights

182
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.319
of stairs and get the Scrubs DVDs. I'm not watching

183
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.279
fascist support of television Disney ABC taking Jimmy Kimmel off

184
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.000
the air. Anyway. The President was very upset with this

185
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.600
Jimmy Kimmel person and posted on Truth's Social Why does

186
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.600
ABC fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with no

187
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.879
talent and very poor television ratings, on the air. Why

188
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.639
do the TV syndicates put up with it? Also totally

189
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.839
biased coverage? Get the bomb off the air? Three exclamation points. Well,

190
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.759
mister President, appreciate you listening to Daily Comedy News. Your

191
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.360
initial question, why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel

192
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.159
on the air is the gist of your question. It's

193
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.559
not the news department that's keeping Jimmy Kimmel on the air.

194
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.600
He's actually part of the entertainment group. So the correct

195
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.679
question would be why does the ABC Entertainment Group keep

196
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.200
Jimmy Kimmel on the air. The answer is that the

197
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.799
show does pretty well, presumably make some money, and Jimmy's

198
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.600
the face of the network. The second part of the

199
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.879
President's question, why do the TV syndic kates put up

200
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.000
with it? Well, you see, mister President, to be part

201
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.639
of the network, you do have to carry almost all

202
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.240
of their programming. So if you wanted, say Monday Night

203
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.559
Football or Dancing with the Stars or whatever else is

204
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.879
on the ABC network. Again, I don't watch the thing.

205
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.679
I'm not going to support people that took Ji Mkimmel

206
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.440
off the air. So whatever it is they're showing, these

207
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.840
stations have to air these things or they'll be removed

208
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.120
from the network. So that is the answer to your question,

209
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.799
mister President. Appreciate you listening. As you know, there are

210
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.639
five good Adam Sandler movies, two of them co star

211
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.080
Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore has been pushing an idea where

212
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.320
she would co star with the great dramatic actor Adam

213
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.000
Sandler in a remake of the nineteen ninety two comedy

214
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.960
Death Becomes Her Now. If you don't recall that film,

215
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.600
Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are both in love with

216
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.440
Bruce Willis, so much so that they ingest a magic

217
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:49.080
elixir that promises eternal youth with disastrous effects. One would

218
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.879
assume Adam Sandler would play the Bruce Willis role, with

219
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.000
Drew Barrymore playing one of the women. This, of course,

220
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.919
is a terrible idea because it would force Adam Sandler

221
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.679
to try and be funny again. Sandler's gonna go in

222
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.919
a stick Sandlor, and we don't want to push him there.

223
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.799
We want to keep him as the great, serious dramatic

224
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.000
actor that he is, So that is a terrible idea.

225
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.559
Drew Barrymore. Sorry. Another idea is a reimagining of the

226
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.960
classic ABC sitcom Three's Company. You may recall. In Three's Company,

227
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.320
John Ritter plays a man who pretends to be gay

228
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.480
so he can share an apartment with two single women.

229
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.600
In this idea, Adam Sandler who would play the Jack

230
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.679
Tripper role as for the female roommates. They would be

231
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.759
played by Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston. Okay, putting aside

232
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.799
that this would be Adam Sandler doing shticky comedy. All

233
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.960
three actors name there are too old. We can't remake

234
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.840
Three's Company with everybody in their sixties. What are we doing?

235
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.360
That's the terrible idea. Who I think would have been

236
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.320
a great Jack Tripper ten to fifteen years ago is

237
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.480
Pete Holmes. I think he would have been perfect. He

238
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:53.720
looks the part, He's got the sensibility for the part.

239
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.879
I thought he would have been great. But I think

240
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.320
Three's Company and the original Man about the House are

241
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.159
things of their time, and I'm not sure how we

242
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.440
would bring that back today. So let's just not. Amazon's

243
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:10.279
MGM Studios has landed Compulsive Liar, which would star Emily

244
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.639
Gordon and Kamale Nanjianni. Details are being kept under wraps, however,

245
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.240
Deadline has figured out the project is based on the

246
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.919
Canadian comedy Mentur. In Mentur, we follow Simon, who's a

247
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.559
big liar. His family and colleagues organized an intervention which

248
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.720
turns into a confrontation, and Simon denies everything. The next

249
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.320
day he wakes up in a world where all his

250
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.519
lives have come true. I guess Adam Sandler was not

251
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.159
available for that one. Out today on the eight hundred

252
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.440
Pound Gorilla YouTube channel, Big Jay Okerson's Them They And

253
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.639
that's your comedy news for today. And I kicked five

254
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.679
stories so again, real episodes on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, all weekend.

255
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.360
I got plenty, not doing any of those top ten

256
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.840
sitcoms of All time kind of stuff. I got plenty

257
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.720
for you and tomorrow a normal episode. See you then,
