00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.679
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.880
daily comedy news. Things starting to settle back into normal. Hey,
3
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.280
do you support fascism? Or did you cancel Disney Plus
4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:20.839
and Hulu like you were supposed to when they took
5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:22.879
Jimmy Kimmel off the air? You canceled, right, you don't
6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.199
have Hulu, Well, then you're not going to be able
7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.239
to see Sebastian Maniscalco's upcoming special. Now. Sebastian's career apparently
8
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.280
has not been too damaged by his choice to play
9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.560
the Riod Comedy Festival, because Hulu has announced that Sebastian
10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.119
Maniscalco's it Ain't Right Boy he works hard on those titles.
11
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.320
His new special is going to premiere Friday, November twenty
12
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.240
first on Hulu. The special takes its name from Maniscalco's
13
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.359
recent tour spanning twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five.
14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.920
He played places like Chicago and Riod, but this hour
15
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.320
was filmed at the United Center Arena in Chicago, and
16
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.280
we're told the commite goes all in on family chaos, aging,
17
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.719
killing journalists, and the little things that drive us all nuts.
18
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.640
Oh sorry, mister that family, chaos, aging, and the little
19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.519
things that drive us all nuts. I should edit that,
20
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.200
shouldn't I? Yeah, the humble brag here tells us a
21
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.200
Sebastian Menascalco ranked among the top twenty five global tours overall,
22
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.879
was named one of Billboard's top ten highest grossing comedy
23
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.239
tours of twenty twenty four, and was the only comedian
24
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.799
to appear in Pollstar's top twenty global concert tours of
25
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.959
twenty twenty five. So you can see his career terribly
26
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.120
damaged by appearing at the Riod Comedy Festival. Another comedian
27
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.359
who appeared at the Reod Comedy Festival is Bill Burr.
28
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.439
I just now saw that he did put out a
29
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.840
Monday podcast late on Monday. I just skimmed the transcript.
30
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.920
I don't think he talked about Riod at all. He
31
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.200
talked mostly about football, going to see the USC game,
32
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.359
and a little bit about New York City. But I
33
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.719
didn't see anything about the Reodd Comedy Festival, so I
34
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.719
think he's moved on from that. I'm sure his career
35
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.159
was terribly hurt. I did see, as as recording that
36
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.359
Amy Poehler's podcast The Guest Is azi'son' Sorry, which I
37
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.879
think last week a lot more people realized azi'son Sorry
38
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.519
he's a douchebag. I mean, I've been hinting at that
39
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.560
since I started this podcast, but I think last week
40
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.840
everybody went, oh, that guy's a douchebag. Well, Amy Polar
41
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.159
apparently doesn't feel that way. They were co stars on
42
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.759
Parks and rec of course, and she had him on
43
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.879
the podcast. I just did a search on Apple podcast transcripts.
44
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.039
I searched for the word re Odd. It does not
45
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.479
appear in the transcript. I search for the word Saudi.
46
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.280
It does not appear in the transcript. But I did
47
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.199
search for the word festival to make sure the search
48
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.759
function was working. And there is a mention of a
49
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.080
Z's at a film festival during the podcast, so it
50
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.639
appears Apple podcast transcript search is working, and they did
51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.919
not discuss Razi's going to the Riodd Comedy Festival. But
52
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.039
I haven't actually listened to Aidmy Poehler's episode, and the
53
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.199
chances of me listening to an hour of Amy Polar
54
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.319
with A Z's I'm sorry or zero, they're actually zero,
55
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.759
so you'll have to tell me. On Netflix announced that
56
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.919
there Eddie Murphy documentary called Being Eddie Well airon Netflix Wednesday,
57
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.240
November twelfth. The log line tells us it goes without saying,
58
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.919
that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen
59
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.240
comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at seventeen and
60
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.159
joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of
61
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.560
high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor,
62
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.599
and a donkey. Oh right. I was like, Eh, somebody
63
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.439
must have played a cop and a doctor, but a donkey.
64
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.400
You might have me there and dominated every facet of Hollywood.
65
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.919
He's touched fewer. Still have been an a less celebrity
66
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.080
for over four decades and never succumbed to its darker side.
67
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.319
I don't know about that latter part. You could google
68
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.039
Eddie Murphy and all sorts of things will come up.
69
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.800
Maybe just because I've been entertainment adjacent for three decades
70
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.719
that I know stuff. For example, I typed in a
71
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.280
phrase I will tell you what I typed in, but
72
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.520
surfaced a story from Yahoo from twenty seventeen when Eddie
73
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.840
Murphy was stopped by police with dot dot dot, And
74
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.960
you can do your own Google search for that phrase
75
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.240
and see what comes up. So let's not make it
76
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.520
sound like Eddie's been at church for forty years anyway.
77
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.919
Being Eddie explores the unusual combination of explosive chrisma, folks
78
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.960
to ambition, raw talent, and deep set circumscision that put
79
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.439
Murphy in a league of his own. Appearing in the
80
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.120
documentary or Senni O Hall, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, who
81
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.319
was just at the Reod Comedy Festival, Jamie Fox, Jerry Seinfeld,
82
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.719
Kevin Hart, Michael J. Pete Davidson, whose father was killed
83
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.639
a nine to eleven. Pete was recently at the Riod
84
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.319
Comedy Festival, and Tracy Morgan and a bunch of others.
85
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:18.519
John m'laney is going to direct Robbie Hoffman's debut Netflix special.
86
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.120
They first met when Robbie Hoffman guessed that on Everybody's
87
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.839
Live this will be filmed next week at the Masonic Lodge.
88
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.199
I was just in front of that building. Why didn't
89
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:29.759
you film that while I was there? I could have gone.
90
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.480
It will mark Hoffman's first comedy special in nearly seven
91
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.279
years and her debut for Netflix. Mlanie announced this on
92
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.879
stage during his tour he was in San Diego. Brought
93
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.800
Robbie Hoffman on stage and said she's one of my
94
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.360
absolute favorite comedians and friends alive. The next day on Instagram,
95
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.120
Malini confirmed it, writing I'm very excited to announce I'll
96
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.279
be directing Robbie Hoffman's new Netflix special. Malini told a
97
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.319
story about Hoffman's outdoor set on Sunday night, was interrupted
98
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.639
by her own car alarm. Gary Goleman until the Third
99
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.839
Coast Review was hard to build material for the first
100
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.480
twenty years. The main reason was how difficult it was
101
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.399
to get on stage from more than five or ten minutes.
102
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.279
Whenever I did, I didn't want to try something brand new,
103
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.199
so I'd add something that had already worked. Sometimes the
104
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.000
story's true parts had been explained, and then you had
105
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.600
to start hitting it from different angles to make the
106
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.759
joke longer. He explains how his Trader Joe's joke is
107
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.360
about a woman cutting me in line, but then it
108
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.199
becomes about imagining her life outside Trader Joe's. The story
109
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.160
itself was basic. There were some older women around me,
110
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.279
and I made an ass of myself. But it's interesting
111
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.360
how your compass can be. This story is different than
112
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.360
other comedians. I don't hear anyone else talking about abbreviating
113
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.600
the states. It's fun to tell that should be the compass.
114
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.720
No one else is doing it, and it's fun, then
115
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.360
you won't give up on it. It's like when you
116
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.040
think of a sentence and it's already on a website
117
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.720
or in a play. Thinking of something original that you
118
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.680
can't find online that no one else is doing. That's
119
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.680
a really good aim. It provides pride. You see dozens
120
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.319
of comedians doing versions of Patrise O'Neil or David Tell
121
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.160
or prior or Carlin. I forget who said it, but
122
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.079
imitation is like suicide. You're killing yourself in a sense.
123
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.360
But it comes back to not getting a lot of
124
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.480
stage time and needing to use it efficiently. That's where
125
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.439
my low self esteem being attached to how the joke
126
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.439
went actually helped. I was afraid a new joke would bomb,
127
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.639
so I didn't want to take the chance deal. Hughlee
128
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.560
spoke to The Daily News online about crowd work and said,
129
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.480
I used to be really famous for that. I love CrowdWork,
130
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.399
but after a while you want to show people you're
131
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.040
tapped in what's going on. I don't do it as
132
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:12.439
much as I used to the older you get, the
133
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.040
more you've been around, he rely on other things. He
134
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.079
explained why they never did a sequel to the original
135
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.519
Kings of Comedy. Some of the reasons include Bernie Mack
136
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.319
passing away in two thousand and eight and Steve Harvey
137
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.639
a hosting family feud and retiring from stand up. Deale said,
138
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.560
we didn't do a sequel. We let it rest. Nothing
139
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.399
approximates your first kiss. Nothing is quite as dynamic as
140
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.879
that one. Thinking of the chores, like flipping through your
141
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.319
wedding album. It's a fond memory, but not something top
142
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.720
of mind. I'm still very proud of what we did.
143
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.720
Then cool article on Vulture It is the twenty twenty
144
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.279
five TikTok survival guide for comics who want to get paid.
145
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.360
They shared some stats. The average video length on Matt
146
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.399
Rife's one hundred and ninety three tiktoks posted in twenty
147
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.319
twenty two to twenty twenty three. The average video length
148
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.920
of rice one hundred ninety three tiktoks was two minutes
149
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.000
twenty seconds, which is over double the supposed industry best
150
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.519
practice of quick hitting clips. That's interesting, right. The average
151
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.959
length of his ten most viewed TikTok's three nineteen, his
152
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.399
ten most liked three point thirty six, his ten most
153
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.879
shared four forty two. Emily Watson posted her entire special
154
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.560
fixed on TikTok, where it received three times as many
155
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.000
views as it did on YouTube. Viewers save the full
156
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.959
video returned to it, and she still carved out a
157
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.680
dozen additional videos to clip up and monetize separately. That guy,
158
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.800
Jay Leno, he's the worst. He was talking about why
159
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.160
he got a watch nerve of that guy. Yeah, he
160
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.360
was at Los Angeles' premier watch collectors gathering, the Neighborhood
161
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.279
Watch Club. Haha, very plenty title there Watch Officionados, and
162
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.399
Jay Leno was there. He was wearing a Buruguette Classique
163
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.319
sobscription twenty twenty five And I probably didn't even pronounce
164
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.399
that right, jay Leno snob. We're told that watch reduces
165
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.319
the timetelling process to a single blued steel hand set
166
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.279
against a white enamel background with bruge numerals. Wow, fancy schmancy.
167
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.279
It's a stunning tribute to both the company founder and
168
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.480
as well as the brand's two hundred and fiftieth anniversaries.
169
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.199
So if you want to walk around while you're popping
170
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.120
off thinking you know anything about hosting a late night
171
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.360
television show and you want to look sharp. Yeah, you
172
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.959
get one of these watches. That guy. Jay Leno said,
173
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.000
It's amazing that something designed two undred fifty years ago
174
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.839
still looks the same. It's basically the same watch. It
175
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.319
sounds like something he would say, right, especially because it's
176
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.759
a direct quote. Does sound like something he was You're
177
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.240
losing the bitch on Bridge was more of an artist
178
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.759
as well as a mechanical genius, said j Leno. Luckily
179
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.759
they asked him what draws you to a watch? Jay said,
180
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.000
I know when I see it, something stands out. I
181
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.240
like classical design using modern techniques. There's a lot of
182
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.440
science and a lot of technology, but it still looks classical.
183
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.360
I know I have to go home and wind my watch.
184
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.120
I enjoy that. It's the same with cars. They require
185
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.120
a certain amount of me and it's it's an emotional connection.
186
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.799
You either get it or you don't. Geleb Beard spoke
187
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.840
to The Hollywood Reporter about narrowing down what stories made
188
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.720
it into his special Caleb said, there's a lot of
189
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.840
things that got left on the cutting room floor. Every
190
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.240
part of it calls for a different thing, Like when
191
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.639
you're moving from something political, sometimes want to get a
192
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.080
little more political right after that, and sometimes you want
193
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.080
to veer into something that's a palate cleanser. You're thinking
194
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.440
of it in fifteen to thirty and sixty minute chunks.
195
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.600
You want to think of the holistic piece, but also
196
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.039
the experience from five minutes to five minutes. That's really
197
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.639
smart and really it's not just looking the whole body
198
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.399
at the first hour. It's like, Okay, every joke I've
199
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.559
ever told is technically on the table for this, except
200
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.639
maybe what I've done on Comedy Central, And you go, okay,
201
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.000
what fits? What makes a full compelling picture here? What
202
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.039
feels like a piece and not just some guy rambling,
203
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.919
although I think parts of it is just some guy rambling,
204
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.799
which I'm okay with. But part of making those selections
205
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.240
is just going, what is the piece asking for? What
206
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.799
does it need right here? See? This is really smart,
207
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.399
really well thought out. And I saw this one. I
208
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.519
thought the spin on this one was a little ridiculous.
209
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.480
Press release, I guess for Data Vault, they announced the
210
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.200
development of its joke token technology, designed to safeguard comedic
211
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.399
content and establish copyright protection for comedians. Okay, They showcased
212
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.240
this at a live event over the weekend. The system
213
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.759
uses blockchain and AI to me unique digital tokens for
214
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:06.519
original jokes, while recording audience laughter metrics as proof of authenticity.
215
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.399
So I guess you're up on stage and you're doing
216
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.600
your set and Robin Williams is there, but luckily you
217
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.240
recorded your set and the technology goes, oh, no, john
218
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.000
just did an original joke. Robin Williams can't steal it,
219
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:24.240
and we'll add blockchain and digital voodoo to it so
220
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.480
that when Robin Williams does my joke at the laugh Factory,
221
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.960
we can be like, hey, that's Johnny Max joke. Something
222
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.639
like that. The technology addresses copyright infringement issues common in
223
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.840
the comedy industry by creating immutable records of jokes and
224
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.240
enabling monetization through smart contracts. So they got professional comedian
225
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.320
Karen Fihn who were told Isa Beard on Netflix in
226
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.879
Comedy Central. Karen Fihann said, the technology gives me an
227
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.759
automated means by which I can make an immutable record
228
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.799
of the jokes I create. I love that she parodied
229
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.080
back the legalies of I could make an immutable record
230
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.679
of the jokes I create and the copyright protection to
231
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.960
which I'm entitled. Is that a real quote professional could
232
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.840
You didn't care and fee and sounds like somebody had
233
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.120
a decent words and said, hey, do you mind saying
234
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.879
you said this? But what do I know? I wasn't there,
235
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.360
And that if your Caddy Comedy News on a Wednesday,
236
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.120
AH see you tomorrow.
