00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.960
Callaroga Shark Media. Ma'am Saturday Night Live, Man, I don't

2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.359
know what to say. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.719
daily comedy news. Maybe the correct move was Dave Chappelle's

4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.679
soul searching for seventeen minutes while telling the occasional joke

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.079
Bill Burr ate it. That monologue not funny at all.

6
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.000
I was on threads and I said, it's one of

7
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.440
those nights you can tell by eleven forty seven BM,

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.039
this episode ain't happening. Thread user MXM eighty wrote, I

9
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.000
wonder if Bill Burr could actually hear the sound of

10
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.039
everyone changing the channel simultaneously. And I was taken aback

11
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.640
by the opening bit. In case you missed it, the

12
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.280
joke was, hey, we never made fun of Trump, but

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.640
we always supported him all along, which is a great joke.

14
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.200
And I say that because we've been doing that joke

15
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.000
on the Ballot podcast for a full week. The episodes

16
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.159
are there, hit play on any of them. Are USNL

17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.799
writers Fans of the Ballot podcast leave us five star

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.159
reviews on Apple Podcasts. Then I imagine it's just a

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.640
case of parallel thinking. But Ballot is me and an

20
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.040
AI and you're an entire writer's room, and we're coming

21
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.920
up with the same bit. And I actually think my

22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.200
version was funnier. Wow, what a swing and a miss.

23
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.799
By Saturday Night Live, the opening began with cast members

24
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.239
solemnly discussing how Trump had won. They added how Trump

25
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.599
might seek vengeance against his opponents. Keena Thompson then says,

26
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.480
we had SNL would like to say to Donald Trump,

27
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.359
We've been with you all along, which is the exact

28
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.120
joke we've been doing on ballot all week. Go listen

29
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.760
to it. They're there, bohen Yang. We've never waived in

30
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.879
our support of you, even when others doubted you. Colin

31
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.599
Jos did score with I hate how the lamestrein media,

32
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.400
Michael Jay has to spin it to make you look foolish.

33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.719
Dana Corvey came out and did Elon Musk. Why is

34
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.760
Dana Carvey still there? I'll give you the okay, it's

35
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.760
the election. We're calling out the big guns. So why

36
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.879
is Danny Carvey there? Someone on the cast can do

37
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.879
Elon Musk? Why is Carvy there? You had your minute.

38
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.439
Let the current cast do the thing. Bill Burr's monologue, Ladies,

39
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.519
enough with the suits, it's not working good joke. Sometimes

40
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.040
you have to have respect for yourselves. You don't win

41
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.840
the office, like on Posse, you gotta hoar it up

42
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.959
a little. I'm not saying go full Hooters, but find

43
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.800
a happy medium between Applebee's and your dad didn't stick around.

44
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.599
I know ugly women feminists don't want to hear this message,

45
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.439
but just tease them a little bit. Make a farmer

46
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.680
feel like it's got a shot that got scattered. Applause.

47
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.120
And if you watched the band and a good Bellwether,

48
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.080
and there are articles about this. The nice lady who

49
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.560
plays guitar, who's pretty much center screen, she's slightly to

50
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.520
the right of center as you watch on your TV,

51
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.240
she was stonefaced. Somebody on thread said she had heard

52
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.280
the jokes already in rehearsal, and I wrote back, well,

53
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.319
they hear the jokes in rehearsal every week, and some

54
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.120
weeks they have big smiles. The band was stonefaced as

55
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.639
Bill Burr bombed. The Grammys have announced the nominees for

56
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.400
Best Comedy Album. Longtime listeners know this rant I will

57
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.240
do it quickly this year. My personal wish would be

58
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.400
for the Best Comedy Album to go to something that

59
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.400
is an album. You know what an album is, right,

60
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.199
An album is not a Netflix special. Netflix specials are great.

61
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.000
Netflix specials should win. I would like the Grammy to

62
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.960
support Audio rant Over. I've done it every year. Go

63
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.159
back and listen to last year. The nominees are Netflix Special,

64
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.639
Trevor Noah, Where was I? Netflix Special? Dave Chappelle, The Dreamer,

65
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.000
HBO Special, Nicky Glazer Someday You'll Die. I don't know

66
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.599
that one's nominated at all. That was not good Netflix Special,

67
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.599
Ricky Gervais Armageddon, and my personal choice for the Best

68
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.000
Comedy Album of the Year, Jim Gaffigan The Prisoner, which

69
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.120
is quote an old school album release featuring material all

70
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.879
new and never released and there's no video. It's an

71
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.439
album album. So I am big time in Jim Gaffigan's court.

72
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.840
Someone pointed out there are five nominees and two of

73
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.080
the five aka forty percent are comedians who are allegedly canceled. Well,

74
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.719
that's interesting. The Hollywood Reporter listened to Joe Rogan's episode

75
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.599
with Tim Dillon and picked up on Tim Dillon saying

76
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.479
that Joker iiO was the worst film ever made. Dylan's

77
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.879
been making that joke in his own podcast for several

78
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.639
weeks now. Tim Dilon appears in Joker Too as an

79
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.919
Arkham Asylum guard. Dylan told Rogan, I think what happened

80
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.800
after the first Joker. There's a lot of talk like, ooh,

81
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.639
this was loved by in cells, This was loved by

82
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.879
the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind

83
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.399
of message, male rage, nihilism, all these think pieces. And

84
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.079
then I think, what if we went the other way?

85
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.240
And now they have Jaki in Phoenix and Lady Gaga

86
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.720
tap dancing to a point where it's insane. From the

87
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.639
Press Herald, David Kross told the audience on Friday night

88
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.920
he was unsure about what was going to happen. Since

89
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.240
it was his first show after the election, he had

90
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.519
to reconfigure his set. He opened with some jokes about

91
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.279
Trump being a protector of women and closed with a

92
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.959
quote more somber reflection on the implications of a potential

93
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.480
nationwide abortion band. The Press Herald recaps, lest the mood

94
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.120
ever gets too bleak, self pitying or pessimistic, he took

95
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.279
left turns in a shocking, gross out imagery or just

96
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.560
plain wrong gags. Ironically, the kind of jokes the conservatives

97
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.040
say you can't do anymore. Other topics anecdotes such as

98
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.199
a vacation to Machu Picchu, an unexpectedly erotic massage at

99
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.480
a Chinese parlor, and the discarded household goods in a

100
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.680
free box on the sidewalk. With the disarming, matter of

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.399
fact voice of a high school guidance counselor David Cross,

102
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.319
stretch mondane observations into absurdist territory and reshaped surreal flights

103
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.160
of fantasy into everyday language. I like David Cross a lot.

104
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.000
CBS Chicago reported that protesters gathered outside the VIC Theater

105
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.680
in Lakeview Friday night as Michael Rappaport took the stage.

106
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.040
CBS reports advocates for the Palestinian Cause of called Michael

107
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.800
Rappaport a racist Zionist, pointing to jokes and comments he's

108
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.079
made on stage and social media. Rapaport told NBC Chicago,

109
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.040
I'm not accepting. I am not down with. I don't

110
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.360
prohibit nor will I step backward with regard to me

111
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.279
being canceled for being Jewish, or anyone else being canceled

112
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.519
for being Jewish or any other reason. The Guardian caught

113
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.560
up with some comedians the topic what do we do now?

114
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.319
The Trump one Chicago born, London based stand up Sarah

115
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.439
Barons and Trump is so ridiculous that he makes the

116
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:59.319
comic extrapolation harder. UK based stand up Jeanine Harouney says

117
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.600
it's a gift for com because people are feeling terrible

118
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.920
and they want to laugh. She has a show focused

119
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.839
on the distance between her left leaning self and her

120
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.199
Trump supporting father, and says, I wrote that show because

121
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.759
I love my dad and cannot reconcile his political beliefs

122
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.199
with how I feel about him personally. My father's also

123
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.560
an Arab son of immigrants, so I was really struggling

124
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.120
with that. I wanted it to feel healing and hopeful.

125
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.360
Lewis McLeod is the voice of Trump on Dead Bringers

126
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.519
and says it becomes its own protests, but it's done

127
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.519
with laughs. He perfected his Trump impression by listening to

128
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.399
recent Rogan interviews. Listening to him on Joe Rogan was

129
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.079
a gift or any mimic. It was uninterrupted. He wasn't arguing.

130
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.560
He's a little bit older, more reflective. There's this messianic tone.

131
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.279
There's something of a mad maniacal Robot about him. McLeod

132
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.759
says there's a danger of creating satirical impressions that are

133
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.199
too likable. That's the rub of satsire and mimicry. Haroney said,

134
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.680
not everyone who voted for Trump holds his worst beliefs.

135
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.600
I like comedy that unites people from different systems of

136
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.240
belief I hope people strive for that rather than continue

137
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.240
to feed into the divisive narrative that's driving Americans further apart.

138
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.399
I had my say on this on Saturday, and that's

139
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.800
how I feel. Let's make fun of both sides and

140
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.040
all sides. Let's see what's happening at the New York

141
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.519
Comedy Festival. A friend of the show, Jason Zinhim in

142
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.439
The New York Times, says we should go see Jay

143
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.319
Jorden at the Gramercy Theater. Jay is one of the

144
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.560
most reliable killers working the New York comedy circuit. When

145
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.319
he pops up on a bill, the audience tends to

146
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.800
light up and the other comics risk losing focus. I've

147
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.360
seen him steal shows with short sets. He's yet to

148
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.839
find his breakout project, but it seems like only a

149
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.439
matter of time. Mondays are often light at comedy festivals.

150
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.279
But there's a robust amount of shows tonight. I won't

151
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.079
read them all to you. Let's just skim through here.

152
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.639
Palatable gay robot is at the Asylum at seven o'clock.

153
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.439
Let's see what this is. Whatever it is, it short

154
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.240
does a load fast. Finally, here we go meet Huma

155
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.879
ViBe's latest device, Billy Bowtie Program. To be the perfect performer,

156
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.439
Billy must entertain the audience while remaining palatable. But when

157
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.360
his material grows rusty, Billy downloads a personal history that

158
