00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.480
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.199
Arian A Corande hosts Saturday Night Live Tonight. I say

3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.800
that with the emphasis on the tea, otherwise of my

4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.480
native accent. It's just Satnite Live musical guest Stevie Nicks.

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.160
I don't know if you know this SNL turning fifty.

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:23.800
We're gona talk about ever day the next eight months.

7
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.440
Yallar reporter asked Michael Chase, if you see on your

8
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.039
phone that Lord Michaels is calling, what's your reaction. I'd

9
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.119
freak out, I know I would. Chase said something's wrong.

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.600
I'm always like, uh, oh, who did it? And how

11
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.000
are we gonna fix it? Or it's something like, oh,

12
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.840
we're hosting the Emmys. But I have a great relationship

13
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.560
with Lord. I think everybody's relationship with him boils down

14
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.880
to the fact that he's one of the few people

15
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.359
who you truly respect their opinion about show business because

16
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.560
he's seen it all. Same question as Colin Jost, Joe says,

17
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.560
it depends on what time it is and what section

18
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.799
of the year it is. Jay says, if it's three AM,

19
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.920
and it says FaceTime video Boss has been drinking, that's funny.

20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.960
Joe says no, he's a night owl and he has

21
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.560
different relationships because of it. He's up to three four

22
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.359
am every night, so he's certain people he knows they're

23
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.840
always up then two, and they have communication between the

24
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.920
hours of two and four and not in an out

25
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.879
drinking way, just a regular new conversation. But it's three am.

26
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.120
Do you guys stay up all night? Chase says, yup.

27
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.560
Choset said, I had a long run, but I can't anymore.

28
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.439
I think he's learned that I'm not gonna respond until

29
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.079
nine am, and then he's gonna see it at eleven

30
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.120
AM when he wakes up. This is fun. I like

31
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.519
this interview. A lot interesting come in here from Lorne Michaels.

32
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.280
Six or seven years ago. Somebody high up with the

33
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.680
network who never asked me sn no questions out of respect,

34
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.400
said update with Jose and Chay. Do you think that's working?

35
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.879
And Lauren's answer says, I said no, not yet, and

36
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.959
he said, oh, you know, I'm like, of course, I know.

37
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.879
But there's a chemistry there and we've had a lot

38
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.560
of good combinations, but these two just brought out the

39
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.239
best of each other. Like who else could make jokes

40
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.400
about Colin and Scarlett and the joke swap. Whatever hostility

41
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.640
he thought was lurking below the surface, it's all visible

42
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.640
in the joke swap. But it's meant to be funny,

43
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.359
and it's truly funny. I just like to chake and

44
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.599
take these positions which kind of fly in the face

45
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.239
of the values of most of the audience, and he's

46
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.640
funny and they laugh and they like him. Wow, that

47
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.040
is interesting. Are there ground rules for the joke swap?

48
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:04.799
Jay says, I don't know if there's a line. I

49
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.280
think anything can work given the circumstance. And also nothing

50
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.439
can work given the circumstance. Jay gives great answers. He

51
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.199
is so insightful with these things, insightful and funny at

52
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.960
the same time. I love his answers. Jay said, My

53
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.159
thing with joke Swap, which is the most stand up

54
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:20.960
thing we do at SNLS, that the audience just has

55
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.439
to believe that I'm trying to embarrass Colin and that

56
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.520
this really bothers him and vice versa. And if that

57
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.639
comes across, then they're not thinking about the content of

58
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.439
the jokes. So it's not oh, that's a racist joke.

59
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.159
It's more, oh, I can't believe he's gonna make him

60
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.439
say that out loud, Holly Reporter, why do you think

61
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.639
you've both ultimately stayed at the show? Chay my mortgage? Now,

62
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.680
we love it. We love the show. It's a weird

63
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.120
thing because you get moments where you love it so

64
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.560
much and drives you're crazy and you want to be

65
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.840
as far away from it as possible. Joe says, It's

66
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.400
like when you play golf. A lot of times, it's

67
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.280
very frustrating, and there are times you certainly consider quitting,

68
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:49.719
but then you hit a good shot and you're like, Wow,

69
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.319
I love this game. I should do this all the time.

70
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.400
That's the way it is with SNL. When everything comes

71
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.400
together and all the costumes look great and the timing's

72
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.680
perfect and the crowd's good, You're just like, this is

73
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.080
the best job in the world, this next door r

74
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.479
Let me just be honest with you. I'm recording this

75
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.000
on Wednesday to accommodate my schedule. Bert Kreischer posted on

76
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.479
Facebook his Bert aid show was supposed to be in

77
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.159
Tampa tonight. Now I'm in the past. You know what

78
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.520
the situation in Tampa is right now, So if I'm

79
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.919
a little tone deaf. I just want to be clear.

80
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.680
I recorded this already three days ago. But here we'll

81
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.039
let Bert explain Tampa.

82
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.120
This is the least important information you'll hear all week.

83
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.199
But obviously my show October twelfth at Ruthhickert Hall has

84
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.879
been pushed was for the relief for Hurricane Helen, and

85
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.000
now we will do it November fifteenth, and apparently it'll

86
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.199
be for both hurricanes. If you're in Tampa, stay safe,

87
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.319
evacuate if you can. And if you grew up with me,

88
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.120
send me a text. Because my parents are staying in

89
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.599
Tampa for the hurricane. They're not leaving. We try to

90
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.439
get them to leave, so I may need you to

91
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.439
check up on them. God bless, stay safe. I will

92
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:50.039
see you soon.

93
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.439
I stumbled across this article. I don't know how much

94
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.639
I'm going to get out of it. This is one

95
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.159
of those things. I'm just diving in the pool. I

96
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.479
make it thirty seconds zero. We might go another eight minutes,

97
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.759
but the first two things. Let me tell you what

98
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.680
it is. This is from Thehrdtimes dot net. The premise

99
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.280
every character from Lost ranked by how they'd be as

100
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.520
a guest on the Joe Rogan experience, so that's fun.

101
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:14.879
I was like, oh, I'll do this. They'll be like ten. No,

102
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.600
there's eighty and number eighty is Michael, and I'm not

103
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.199
gonna read all eighty. I'm just gonna read the ones

104
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.800
that make me laugh. Seventy nine is Charlie and the

105
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.639
premise from The Hard Times is it turns out that

106
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.839
Joe Rogan hates the band Drive Shaft, and we know

107
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.000
Charlie is always seeking approval, so the episode would be

108
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.120
incredibly hard to listen to because Charlie would relapse on air.

109
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.079
Seventy eight is Alana Verdansky. Hard Times has a good writer.

110
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.360
They wrote Rogan would forget who she is, just like

111
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.680
the rest of us. Is quite frankly, it's astonishing we

112
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.680
took the time to add her to this list. I

113
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.800
have no idea who she is, and I love Lost.

114
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.800
I'm going to look it up. Is this Saturday filler? John?

115
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.639
Did you tape this like two weeks ago? Maybe? Alana

116
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.959
is introduced in the sixth episode of the fifth season

117
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.879
of Loss as an officer boarding a Jira Airways flight

118
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.199
three sixteen with Sayid in her custody. Okay, yeah, I

119
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.839
guess that's someone seventy seven, Nikki and Paulo seventy six,

120
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.040
David Shepherd. That's Jack's son that doesn't really exist. Seventy

121
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.680
five is Shannon seventy four, Bernard seventy three, Detective Mars

122
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.439
seventy two, Vincent the Dog seventy one Frogert Ten minutes

123
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.879
in Joe Rogan would casually hint that lifting weights might

124
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.759
help Frogert get laid more seventy Sarah Wagner, who Rogan

125
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.959
would spend the whole episode asking but seriously, why do

126
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.160
you leave Jack, while Sarah just rolls her eyes and

127
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.480
mothers something about daddy issues. Sixty nine Kate's Dad sixty

128
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.360
eight Liam Pace. Rogan would kick off the episode with

129
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.759
her drive Shaft is finally gonna have a reunion, only

130
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.480
for Liam to explain, now, man, you're thinking of oasis.

131
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.279
That's pretty good. Sixty seven is Phil He's one of

132
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.720
the Dormer crew. Sixty six is Bram. Bram would rant

133
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.040
about Jacob saving the world, and Joe would randomly ask,

134
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.600
but if you tried Lion's main coffee, Brian would shake

135
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.319
his head, muttering, you're on the wrong side. Joe. Sixty

136
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.079
five is Nadia sixty four is Boone, Remember Boone? Sixty

137
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.560
three is Aldo. He was played by Rob Mcalenny. Rogan

138
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.319
would be excited to drop it's always Sonny in Philadelphia references,

139
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.759
assuming Aldo knows about it because of the actor's connection. Aldo,

140
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.600
completely oblivious, would just blink and ask, what's always Sonny,

141
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.360
leaving Rogan awkwardly butchering the dentist system. Okay, apparently I

142
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.240
am going to get eight minutes out of this. Sixty

143
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.000
two is Carmen Carman would spend the whole episode trying

144
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.800
to feed Joe, insisting he needs more home cooked meals.

145
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.399
Joe would try to steer the conversation back to Hurley's

146
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.800
lottery win, but Carmen's too busy telling embarrassing stories about Hurley.

147
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.759
Sixty one is doctor Pierre Chang. That's the guy from

148
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.600
the Dharma videos. Sixty Carl Martin. He's a character that

149
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.240
got tortured by the others. Fifty nine is Danny Pickett.

150
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.480
Pickett would go on unhinged rant about how grilling was

151
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.480
the only thing keeping him from losing it on the island.

152
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.240
You think I tortured people for fun, Joe. Now it's

153
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.439
just stressed from never getting the damn grill hot enough.

154
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.240
Fifty eight George Minkowski. This is one of the actors

155
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.920
that was on Succession. The entire episode would be Rogan

156
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.279
asking did you watch Succession? Over and over while George

157
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.279
tries to explain he's not actually in the show. Van

158
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.759
Matthew abinon, same joke, but have you seen the wire?

159
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.199
Fifty six Cindy Chandler, She's one of the flight attendants.

160
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.360
Rogan would ask to do the others get tsa pre check?

161
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.240
Or what fifty five is Lenin? Joe would peg Lennon

162
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.439
as the kind of guy who could handle some potent edibles.

163
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.680
Big mistake. Lenin would get way too high, turning the

164
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.040
conversation into a paranoid miss rambling about dormous secrets and

165
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.920
human sacrifice. Fifty four is Son. Son would ignore all

166
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.720
of Joe's questions about survival in island life, instead launching

167
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.600
into a passionate rant about the superiority of Korean's skincare.

168
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.319
Fifty three is Rose. After Rose reveals are cancer returned

169
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.120
after leaving the island, Rogan would suggest micro dosing shrooms, grounding,

170
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.120
and of course, buying a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Roseanont politely

171
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.439
clearly unimpressed. All right, we have fifty two more to go,

172
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.839
so this will come back someday as weekend filler. But

173
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.920
let's move on. Stephen Rogers is taping his special today.

174
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.879
I was checking out his comedy. He's got some Mark

175
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.120
Norman in it. Stephen Rogers is a Syracuse race comedian

176
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.439
based in New York City who's been making others laugh

177
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.279
for most of his life. He's teaming with Nate Bergatsey's

178
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.199
Nate Land Entertainment to produce the new special, taping tonight

179
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.120
at the Comedy Fort in Fort Collins, Colorado. Steven's clever,

180
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.720
rapid fire material, full of observations about his life and

181
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.800
the world around him, has led to him appearing on

182
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.000
The Late Show with Colbert Cordon and Dryboor Comedy. WPR

183
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.000
was curious about Eugene Merman's comedy festival. What's the deal

184
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.199
with that? Eugene said, I did a weekly show in

185
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.160
Brooklyn with my friend Julie Smith Klem. There was also

186
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.720
an event that made me joke with her and Mike

187
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.279
Berri Bigley at the time that I was going to

188
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.039
do a Eugene Merman comedy festival and how I wouldn't

189
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.519
do that because I was not a known comic. It

190
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.080
was particularly Lucris to suggests, but I thought we should

191
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.120
do it because it would be silly. He was really fun.

192
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.240
So at some point we decided to do a second one,

193
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.039
and then that grew in doing a decade at these

194
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:49.320
very silly shows. Veronica Slowakowska is one of vulturous comedians.

195
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.799
You should and will know what comedian's career trajectory would

196
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.799
you like to follow? She said, maybe Adam Sandler a

197
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.080
terrible chow actually a great choice. I mean, Adam's rich,

198
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.440
he doesn't care. Do you want the money? Do you

199
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.879
want people to go? Well, that was a good body

200
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.240
of work. Take the money, doing a bit of everything

201
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.120
and doing it with your friends and family seems awesome

202
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.879
to me. You know, she is right. And Donald Glover's

203
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.279
the funny shows, the serious ones, the music, very cool

204
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.639
wor Showever, I was booked on a magic show like

205
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.480
where magicians do magic and I'm the comedy act in between.

206
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.480
So I thought, okay, easy, breezy, everyone needs a laugh.

207
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.799
Turns out these magicians were so amazing, was mind blowing

208
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.480
and be funny. What was my turn to do some

209
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.679
alt comedy, following amazing magicians who were hilarious, charming, and

210
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.799
also hot. I hate it, so now I do magic

211
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.200
in every one of my sets. Her joke writing process.

212
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.000
When an idea comes, no matter where I am or

213
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:38.879
what I'm doing, I write it down. You think you'll

214
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.440
remember it, but you won't. Also having stuff planned but

215
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.000
still being able to riff and play it. There's a

216
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.879
sweet spot between being prepared and following your gut best

217
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.320
comedy device, worst comedy advice. Best the audience is as

218
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.360
smart as you, so what would you want to see?

219
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.639
Worst the audience is a baby and you have to

220
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.840
teach it everything. And that is your comedy news for today.

221
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.000
If you like this program without commercials, there's a link

222
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.240
in the show notes to tell you how that works.

223
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.600
Short version five bucks a month See tomorrow.
