1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.599
daily comedy news. Nicki Glazer was your SNL host. I'll

3
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.239
do a recap of that tomorrow. Prior to her appearance,

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.879
she went on Late Night with Seth Myers. I guess

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.480
she figured passing out flyers that the car wash would

6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.920
reach just about as many people. But you know you

7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.280
might get wet, so you might as well go on

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.399
Seth Meyers show. She told Seth and the sixteen people

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.679
that watch that show for the monologue, it's like rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,

10
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.320
running around town at different clubs. That's the one I

11
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.840
can have control over, Seth Meyers said. And they're so

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.759
happy that you're coming and you have your own monologue.

13
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:41.880
It's the hardest thing to write for a host. So

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:43.560
when you have somebody who's like, I know my voice

15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:44.840
and I'm really good at it, and here I am,

16
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.079
I'm gonna crush, they're thrilled. Glazier's Jad told her, don't

17
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.600
read the cue cards. Nicki said, he doesn't understand. You

18
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.560
kind of have to. John Mulaney tell Travel in Leisure.

19
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.799
I've always admired that Chicago's happiest at five on a Friday.

20
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.640
It's like we did enough days that we can build

21
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.920
up to this moment to do it again. He was

22
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.200
kind of half out promoting years his partnership with the

23
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.959
non alcoholic beer. Mulaney says, it feels like what you

24
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.519
have at a cooler in Michigan in July that isn't fancy,

25
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.560
but he's a great pilsner. I'm so happy there's something

26
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.640
in the non alcoholic world that you can drink a

27
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.000
bunch of crumble up and throw all right, I get it.

28
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.000
I play trivia on Wednesday nights at the brewery, and

29
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.760
I honestly there are times that like I'm just drinking

30
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.000
socially that I wish they had another option. If they

31
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.359
sold me a non alcoholic beer, they could actually sell

32
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.719
me water with food coloring in it, and I would

33
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.159
order it and pay the seven bucks. I just want

34
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.239
to hang and sometimes I don't want to come home

35
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.879
and feel like U. I remember, Johnny Mack does tell

36
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.680
you two beers, not eight, But Johnny Mack also tells

37
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.120
you two beers plus a cheese steak and some fries.

38
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.439
That's when you come home feeling like ugh. John m'laney's

39
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.680
advice to first time visitors of Los Angeles don't give up.

40
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.239
It can't possibly make sense at first. I would get

41
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.239
a map of Los Angeles, not to get lost, but

42
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.680
just to have a sense of it, or else you

43
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.200
will be constantly wondering if you're leaving LA. When you're not.

44
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.760
He explains, LA is left landmarks and more neighborhoods. There's

45
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.200
never going to be a Times Square or Washington Square Park.

46
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.840
Just drive around listening to the Chinatown soundtrack. There's a

47
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.560
reason it's a quintessential LA movie. It really sinks up.

48
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.919
As for New York City, John says I can't imagine

49
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.800
visiting New York and not liking it. His tip is

50
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.080
to take the subway. He says, I'm not saying it's nice,

51
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.039
but you don't want to sit in Manhattan traffic. That

52
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.280
is true, He explained. New York is like spending a

53
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.680
week with a great, fascinating, exciting person and then he

54
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.280
moved in with that person and they punch you in

55
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.439
the stomach right away. Suddenly the steps that you jumped

56
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.080
up so effortlessly or higher, and it feels unfriendlier, but

57
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.719
then it clicks. Landey says, I did all of New York,

58
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.639
from the grimiest to the Ritzias, Like I went to

59
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.479
a black tie party in the Rainbow Room for the

60
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.000
SNL fortieth, and I bought drugs on the worst riverside

61
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.479
spots in Williamsburg, up and down. It's great for all

62
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.560
of it. At the New Yorker Conference, David Remnick asked

63
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.120
John Stewart about being on Joe Rogan. You did Joe

64
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.240
Rogan a couple of times. John said, yes, Well, what

65
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.360
do you think of that experience? John Stewart Duett said,

66
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.240
I enjoyed being on Rogan. I think he's an interesting interviewer.

67
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.080
You know, there are right wing weaponized commentators who's sole

68
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.639
purposes to pnipulate things to the benefit of the Steve

69
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.639
Bannon project or Project twenty twenty five. Rogan's not that guy.

70
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.319
Rogan is a curious comic who fell in this thing

71
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.879
that got enormous. His opinions all over the political spectrum,

72
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.840
but his tendencies that for the people on the left

73
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.639
do not fit the esthetic. Stewart said, go on the

74
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.360
show like it's not acceptable. Just say well I don't

75
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.039
like what he does, then do it better. Beat them

76
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.280
at their own game. We have to be relentless, tenacious.

77
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.759
It's not enough to complain to the guy as a

78
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.560
platform and say, don't platform that guy. There's no one

79
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.560
in the world right now that isn't platformed. Stephen Colbert

80
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.159
talked about his old Colbert Rapport character and said, we

81
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.360
like the idea that the character didn't know he was

82
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.960
on a comedy channel because he took himself very seriously

83
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.639
and he really was changing the course of human history

84
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.360
with the tractor beam of his own justice. As for

85
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.360
the Late Show coming to an end, GQ asked if

86
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.360
Colbert has wrapped his head around that. He said, not

87
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.639
at all. No. I mean I've accepted it. I've wrapped

88
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.080
my head around that, But in terms of how I

89
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.000
feel about it, no, I don't know. Because the shows

90
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.240
go on, I don't necessarily know how I'll feel about

91
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.199
it until I'm not doing it anymore, because it's all consuming. Listen,

92
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.080
every show's got ended some time, and I've been on

93
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.680
a bunch of shows that have been I did sometimes

94
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.240
by our lights and sometimes by the decisions of other people,

95
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.039
and that's the nature of show business. You can't worry

96
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.199
about that. You got to be a big boy about that,

97
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.639
but I think we were the first number one show

98
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.960
to ever get canceled. I called a friend of mine

99
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.280
who's also in Late Night Interesting. I was trying to

100
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.960
work out my feelings and I said, you got any

101
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.600
thoughts on this? And he goes, no, no one's ever

102
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.199
gonna have thoughts on this. No one's ever been the

103
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.759
number one show for nine years in a row and

104
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.800
then been canceled. When I signed my twenty twelve contract

105
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.439
for The Cobert Report, I went to my assistant and

106
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.279
I said, Hey, what's our last show of twenty fourteen.

107
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.079
She goes, it looks like December eighteenth, and I said, oh,

108
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.360
good to know. And I started writing that last show myself. Basically,

109
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.079
the entirety of that last show was something that I

110
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.720
thought of really in the next month, and then I

111
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.240
thought I was going to leave that and go I've

112
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.439
been an actor of my entire career. I had a

113
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.399
whole show that I'd planned out what I was going

114
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.680
to do, and it was actually going to involve that

115
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.319
old character in a new job, and he'd be like

116
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.879
a central figure, but he wouldn't be the only character

117
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.800
in it, and I might still do it someday but

118
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.879
that was my plan, and then taking over for Letterman

119
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.920
fell in my lap. But I had a plan how

120
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.399
to end it. I knew the songs we were going

121
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:55.920
to sing, I knew the jokes we were going to do.

122
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.600
I knew how I wanted to shot everything. This is

123
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.319
not my choice, so I don't know how we're gonna land

124
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.680
this plane. But people have asked me, well, what do

125
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.360
you think you're gonna do next? And the cleanest and

126
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.240
really fullest answer I can give you not that I

127
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.079
don't have thoughts, but the honest answer is I just

128
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.800
want to land this plane gracefully in a way that

129
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.839
I find satisfying given how much effort we've put into

130
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.839
it for the last ten years. I appreciate the people

131
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.040
at far Out Magazine because they understand the great actor

132
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.199
Adam Sandler. Far Out wrote when I first watched Uncut Gems,

133
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.480
which as listeners to this program know, is the best

134
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.399
Adam Sandler movie by a mile, I left the theater

135
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.920
with more questions than answers. Why did I feel so dizzy?

136
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.279
What's the strongest sedative I can buy? And was that

137
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.920
really Adam Sandler? I just watched As I watched the

138
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.519
mirrored shot of Sandler's character lying on the floor with

139
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.680
a gunshot wound in his head. I waited, for baited

140
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.160
breath for either David Spade or Kevin James to bust

141
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.600
in that shot and pull the rug from under the

142
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.639
whole thing. To say, the whole film was one elaborate ruse,

143
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.240
a satsire of high browse cinema that would swiftly be

144
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.639
undercut by an ending that involved those three members of

145
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.839
the Sandler alumni. But that never happened, and the film concluded.

146
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.439
I left the cinema like many others that year, both

147
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.079
baffled and encouraged by this return to drama. For Sandler,

148
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.680
this was a renaissance that eclipsed McConaughey's from just under

149
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.199
a decade earlier, simply for how awful were the run

150
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.800
of films that Sandler released before Uncut Gems, My Boy,

151
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.000
Grown Ups, Blended, Jack and Jill all came out in

152
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.439
the chapter before Uncut Jims. While the latter film Jack

153
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.160
and Jill represented the true bottom of the barrel. Amen, brother,

154
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.680
you've heard me talk about that. I forbade my children

155
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.480
from renting it and told them I would rather light

156
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.439
the five dollars on fire. Far Out said to us

157
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.360
it hinted towards a state of career complacency from Sandler

158
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.560
that the today's of his own scrappy ideas being developed

159
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.600
on a shoestring budget were long gone and instead replaced

160
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.600
by half baked comitta crap served on a silver platter

161
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.040
of big studio distribution. Sandler was fully aware of that. However,

162
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.879
he knew the movies he was creating in the Spell

163
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.000
of Mediocrity were there to serve one purpose, and one

164
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.600
purpose only finance. And this is the point of the

165
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.040
article Sandler's take on what the worst Sandler movie is.

166
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.160
To Sandler admit that it's Jack and Jill know. He

167
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.240
thinks it's the remake of The Longest, which on paper

168
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.920
should have worked, but the Burt Reynolds version is much better.

169
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.120
Sandler said, they were doing it and it was cool,

170
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.600
and I was like, if they're doing it as well,

171
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.720
be in it. Compared to the first one, not even close.

172
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.759
It ended up doing all right, paid for some things

173
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.040
in our house. It made no sense on NBC proper today.

174
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.240
It's the paper, you know, the office spin off of sorts.

175
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.560
I got through like six or seven of them. Fight

176
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.680
your way through the first one or two. Then it

177
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.160
gets better. It's at no point funny, but it's nice

178
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.360
company while you just the TV's on and you're playing

179
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.000
on your phone. It's that kind of show. I don't

180
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.079
know if I've laughed at all. But the characters an't

181
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.800
nice enough. The main two were nice enough. I don't

182
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.319
know about the ensemble. Part of the ensemble is Alex Edelman,

183
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.879
who told Variety why he was attracted to it. He said,

184
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.600
seemed really fun. He used the word fun a lot

185
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.920
because it's an important value in entertainment. It seems silly,

186
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.519
but it's a good metric for whether a show was

187
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.399
all right. He was asked to audition for the series,

188
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.480
then labeled untitled Greg Daniels and Michael Corman Project. He

189
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.120
received dummy sides of fake scenes that never showed up

190
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.480
in the show. It explains the paper in the Office

191
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.560
or totally different shows. His take is our shows in

192
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.600
a little more parks and wreck than The Office, in

193
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.399
my opinion. Angela from the Original Office spoke with grub

194
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.399
Street and she said her call time for the nine

195
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.560
years film in the Office was five thirty am. Was

196
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.160
barely daylight when I'd arrive for hair and makeup, some

197
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.120
of the casts would bring their own breakfast into the

198
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.199
hair and makeup room and eat while they were quote

199
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.160
in the works, which means holding your food in your

200
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:22.920
lap and trying to sneak in a bite of eggs

201
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.199
while you're getting your hair curled or your eye makeup done.

202
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.120
Angela said, I would inevitably spill something on myself, so

203
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.680
my first real meal would be hot snack. To this day,

204
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.159
I still dream about hot snack every day. At exactly

205
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.799
ten thirty, our assistant director would announce hot snack. You

206
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.200
never knew what was gonna be, but it's always a feast. Ramen, dumplings, tacos,

207
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.480
hot dogs, chili, fried rice, shrimp, skewers, you name it.

208
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.080
I once had the nickname snacks Kinzie. She says, I'm

209
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.639
a big believer in packing snacks. Today in my back

210
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.639
back I have a mixed berry granola bar, fruit wraps,

211
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.879
a cheese and salami snack tray from the airport's store,

212
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.120
and a ziplock of peanuts. The Moontower Comedy Festival has

213
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.320
announced their lineup now. The festival is not till April

214
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.200
eighth through the nineteenth. Pretty impressive lineup and it's at

215
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.000
least right there with this New York Comedy Festival, if

216
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.639
not bigger names. They announced the first seventy five performers.

217
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.679
A press release tells us there'll be stand up sets,

218
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:21.279
unhinged podcast recordings, musical comedy, and sketch badness. There's a

219
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.799
club series you purchase the Badge, and then there's four

220
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.039
days of shows with more than one hundred comics within

221
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.480
walking distance downtown that you can see. So far announced.

222
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.559
Do you want me to read seventy five names? I

223
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.519
don't think I want to. Let's see names that you

224
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.320
would recognize. How about I'll do that? An evening with

225
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:42.639
Albert Brooks, Beth Stelling, Brad Williams, Cristella Alonso, Doug Benson,

226
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.559
Emo Wakeem, Ivan Decker, The Sclar Brothers, Jay Jorden, Jeremiah Watkins,

227
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.279
John Goblet, con Boy, his name's all over the place.

228
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.039
John Rudnitsky, he was on SNL for a year and

229
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.879
I saw him a new faces. He was great up there.

230
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:02.799
Kathy Griffin, Leslie Jones, Mark Marin, Matt Bronger, Nish Kumar,

231
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.600
viwerd Oz and others. Okay, so you get a Bestie

232
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.720
Badge promo that offers twenty five dollars off each badge

233
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.480
and a group of two or more already too complicated.

234
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.360
The big show tonight at the New York Comedy Festival

235
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.679
is Stand Up for Heroes. John Stewart, Mike Berbiglia, Jim

236
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.759
mcgaffigan and Moore. It's the nineteenth edition of Stand Up

237
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.120
for Heroes. It raises awareness and funding for the Bob

238
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.360
woodra Foundation, whose mission is to ensure that our nation's veterans,

239
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.679
service members, and their families have stable and successful futures

240
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.679
and interesting back to back at the Grammarcy Theater, Mark

241
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.919
Norman is there with Matt Ruby's Stick or Treat. Comedians

242
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.000
dress up and impersonate other comics that are alive, performing

243
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.480
stand up sets completely in character. That's fun. I remember

244
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.519
twenty years ago Jim Brewer hosting Comedy Covers nights and

245
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.360
people getting up and doing Mitch Hebburg. Now. What's interesting

246
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.480
about the scheduling to me is Mark Norman is one

247
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.039
half of Tuesdays with Stories, and right after Mark Norman show,

248
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.159
also at the Grammacy Theater, Joe Lift the other host

249
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.320
of Tuesdays with Stories his show is Joe List and Friends.

250
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.840
Probably a safe bet that Mark Norman hangs around, considering

251
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.960
he's already in the building. Let me see who else

252
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.639
is playing there. My goal before I wrap up this

253
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.200
show thirty years from now is that somebody will create

254
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.279
a comedy festival website where it's easy to see who's

255
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.799
playing on a particular day. Someone will eventually crack that code.

256
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.960
Scientists are working on it as I speak and scroll

257
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.799
this minuscule little toolbar to get to the Monday shows.

258
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.000
Tod Glass again, is he playing every night? I don't know, John,

259
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.879
you're the one hosting the show. Now, this is an

260
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.039
interesting one in here, Nickstown. It's Paul's Best Podcast with

261
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.080
Nick's legend John Starks at the Gotham Comedy Club at

262
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.159
seven o'clock. Okay, at Union Hall at seven thirty, the

263
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.360
interestingly titled Peton Dix Horny, A night of comedy, smut

264
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.639
and crushes, Interesting, and a bunch of smaller shows throughout

265
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.519
the day. Jimmy Kimmel and crew decided to help people

266
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.320
out who were suffering with the snap benefit cuts. Kim

267
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.639
Will and the show have opened a food donation center

268
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.240
in la with the title The Jimmy Kimmel Live, Big

269
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.399
Beautiful Food Bank. The press release, Kimmel Show said, cutting

270
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.159
snap benefits creates uncertainty for American children, seniors, and families.

271
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.519
To support our community members in need, We're starting a

272
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.480
donation center in our Hollywood back lot. Donations taken two

273
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.840
Kimmel's Big Beautiful Food Bank go to two different area nonprofits,

274
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.159
the LA Regional Food Bank and Saint Joseph Center. They're

275
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:29.200
asking for low sodium soups, chili stews, low sugar cereals, tuna, chicken, salmon,

276
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.759
protein bars, pasta, and rice. They could also use personal

277
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.799
care items like wipes, diapers, deodorant, soap, oral hygiene and

278
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.960
feminine products. Food Bank's open from nine to five sixty

279
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.600
nine oh one Hawthorn Avenue, LA. A nice job by

280
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759
Charlie Brenz. He showed up at a holiday food drive

281
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:51.360
event in Milwaukee that was supporting Feeding America. Eastern Wisconsin.

282
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.159
Students from Brookfield Central and Wisconsin Hills Middle School filled

283
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.159
hundreds of boxes inside a warehouse, joined by Charlie Morenz.

284
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.080
He's known for his standup comedy that makes fun of

285
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.000
things in Wisconsin. Charlie said, reach a little deeper into

286
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.960
the pocket. You know, sometimes like the paper falls at

287
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.200
the bottom, actually the change falls at the bottom, So

288
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.559
don't go straight to the bottom. Float up a little

289
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.000
bit to like where the big bills are. Baron said,

290
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.559
it's Thanksgiving. It feels good to give. They've done studies

291
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.080
on it feels good to give. I'm not sure who

292
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.799
did the studies. I'm not sure they're real studies, but

293
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.679
we're gonna go with it feels good to give. Some

294
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.840
just give. And that's your comedy news for today. I'll

295
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.519
see you tomorrow.
