00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.039
Today, the newly unrenamed John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for
3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.480
the Performing Arts will present the twenty seventh Mark Twain
4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.640
Prize for American Humor to Bill Maher. That's right, I said,
5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.160
Bill Maher. You didn't misunderstand me. Bill Maher is winning
6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.000
the Mark Twain Prize. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your
7
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.440
Daily Comedy News. The prize is named to honor one
8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.679
of the world's greatest humorists, that being Mark Twain. It
9
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.719
will be awarded at a Galla performance today with some
10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.320
of the biggest names in comedy, including Louis C. K.
11
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.799
Whitney Cummings, Jay Leno, and others including John Mellencam stephen A. Smith.
12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.719
The program will eventually air on Netflix. It's not on
13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.479
Netflix today, the official website tells us. For more than
14
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.119
twenty five years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of
15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.719
where funny political talk can go on American television, first
16
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.439
on Politically Incorrect and for more than twenty years on
17
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.000
HBO's Real Time. In twenty twenty five, Mediaite named Bill
18
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.400
the fourteenth most influential person in media fourteen. They wrote
19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.159
in the Age of Independent minded content creators. Mark can
20
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.680
easily be recognized as a pioneer and one of the
21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.040
only independents who continues to thrive. Now, I'm putting a
22
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.680
little spin on my read here. That said, I find
23
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.760
that I do listen to his podcast. He gets good
24
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.959
guests and there are good conversations. I do feel like
25
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.719
we're stepping down a class here. Let me just say it.
26
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.000
Let me tell you who has won the Mark Twain
27
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.719
Prize for American Humor in the past. All right, nineteen
28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.040
eighty eight. The first winner Richard Pryor. Now, if you
29
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.040
listen to the Daily Comedy News podcast, I assume I
30
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.519
don't have to tell you who Richard Pryor was. We'll
31
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.719
do the winners in order. Jonathan Winters, Carl Reiner. All right,
32
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.959
so they kind of went back. Then Whoopy Goldberg in
33
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.280
two thousand and one. Interesting choice, Then Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin,
34
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.439
Lorne Michaels in two thousand and four, Steve Martin, Neil Simon. Interesting,
35
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.920
then Billy Crystal. It's not until two thousand and eight
36
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.959
that we give it to George Carlin. Now, the award
37
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.159
is not designed to be given posthumously, but Carlin died
38
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.639
between the announcement and the ceremony. Why did you wait
39
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.000
till two thousand and eight to even get around to
40
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.360
George Carlin? Then in two thousand and nine Bill Cosby.
41
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.400
Wikipedia says those who honored Bill Cosby included Jerry Seinfeld,
42
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.360
Chris Rock Sinbad, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Stephen Wright, Willie Nelson,
43
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.680
Carl Reiner, Dick Gregory, Rita Marino, and Felicia Reshad. Cosby's
44
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.840
award was rescinded in twenty eighteen. How to be fair
45
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.560
to those who honored Bill Cosby in two thousand and nine,
46
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.000
Sometime between twenty nine and twenty eighteen, I worked with
47
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.719
Bill Cosby several times, and he was the public persona
48
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.560
Bill Cosby that you all knew and loved. So I
49
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.400
don't think it's absurd that any of those people there
50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.680
were to honor Bill Cosby who knew. But as I've
51
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.639
said before, one day Bill Cosby will pass away and
52
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.439
I will tell you a story. In twenty ten, Tina Fey,
53
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.919
then Will Ferrell, Ellen DeGeneres, Carol Burnett. We put in
54
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.000
Ellen before Carol Burnett, really Jay Leno in twenty fourteen,
55
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.120
So that just had me check. Johnny Carson passed away
56
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.080
in two thousand and five, and again the award is
57
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.759
not given out posthumously, all right, Eddie Murphy in twenty fifteen,
58
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.759
Then Bill Murray, David Letterman in twenty seventeen, Julia Louis Dreyfus,
59
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.520
the MVP of the Seinfeld series by the way, if
60
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.520
you rewatch it, twenty eighteen, Dave Chappelle in twenty nineteen.
61
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.080
Then there was COVID and stuff. We come back in
62
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.280
twenty twenty two with John Stewart. And this is weird
63
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.319
because is this guy comedian Adam Sandler. I only know
64
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.199
him from being a great dramatic actor and things like
65
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.719
uncut gems, the one about basketball. Does he do comedy? Huh?
66
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.800
Honoring Dadam Sandler? Where Dana Carvey, Luis Guzman, Tim Hurlahy,
67
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.280
Rob Schneider and Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, John Appatol, Drew Barrymore,
68
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.199
Steve asmy Conan, Chris Rock, Pete Davidson, and David Spade.
69
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.680
Then in twenty twenty four Hart, last year Conan O'Brien
70
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.199
and this year Bill Maher. So again we're coming off
71
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.400
a run of let Me go back to all right,
72
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.280
let me dump on Ellen. We're coming off a run
73
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.319
starting in twenty thirteen, in order, Carol Burnett, Jay Leno,
74
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.519
Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, David Letterman, Julia, Louis Drives, Dave Chappelle,
75
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.879
John Stewart, Adam Sailor, Kevin Hart, Conan O'Brien, and now
76
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.879
Bill Maher. The Mark Twain Prize recognizes individuals who have
77
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.120
had an impact on American society and weighs similar to
78
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.839
Mark Twain. Then there were some bios. Louis c K

in theaters nationwide twenty twenty two. Then they tell us
85
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.920
about his book. They overlooked some things in Louis c
86
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.279
K's buyout, but we got into that yesterday. You can
87
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.279
go back and listen to yesterday's episode. Another bio is
88
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.680
about Jay Leno, the acclaimed television late night show host,
89
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.680
admired stand up comedian, best selling children's book author. Really.
90
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.920
I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure his books sell great,
91
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.120
but like you know, Jay, Like, like if you didn't
92
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.519
know who Jay Leno was, and I was like, you know,
93
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.000
Jay Leno Tonight Show, and you looked at me like
94
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:19.959
you didn't know who I meant, and I'd be like,
95
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.160
the best selling children's book author. You'd be like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
96
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.160
Jay Leno, I know him. Much in demand corporate speaker,
97
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.519
television and movie voiceover artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic,
98
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.519
and a philanthropist. Jay Leno is widely characterized as no,
99
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.800
I know what phrases in your head, because I've put
100
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.040
it in your head wrong. He's widely characterized as the
101
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.240
hardest working man in show business. Well, that James Brown's
102
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.240
thing might make that up. Yeah, I googled the phrase
103
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.639
the hardest working man in show business and James Brown
104
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.879
came up. But James Brown is dead, so maybe Jay
105
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.399
Leno is now the hardest working man in show business.
106
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.600
I don't know. The bio continues Leno's domination of late
107
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.920
night tell vision to span two decades as host as
108
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.160

his base and numerous charity and corporate events. Does voiceovers
112
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.360
for animated series does he? IT'STEI on IMDb, Jay Leno,
113
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.759
are you a new listener? Shows a little relaxed day.
114
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.319
I didn't set out to do a relax show, but
115
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.959
seems we're being a little casual today. Let's see. Jay
116
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.639
Leno has one hundred and fifteen actor credits. We won't

read them all. Oh yes, And Mickey and the Roadster Racers,

an acclaimed eco car and his eco friendly green garage.
134
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.639
All right, I didn't intend to get as casual as
135
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.279
we did, so I'll do this live. I could edit
136
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.040
this out, but this isn't fun. Let me see what
137
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.240

Joe Coy will host a multi episode comedy showcase series
140
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.040
titled Martin Lawrence Presents Pass of the Mic. That's right,
141
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.000
Martin Lawrence Presents Past the Mic, hosted by Joe Coy,
142
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.639
will be filmed in front of a live audience August
143
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.199
twenty ninth and thirtieth at the Legends Theater at Root
144
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.199
sixty six Sino Hotel in Albuquerque. Past the Mic has
145
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.480
designed a spotlight up and coming talent in the stand
146
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.319
up comedy Martin Lawrence said, Passed the Mic is about
147
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.920
creating opportunities for the next generation of comedians and giving
148
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.720
them a platform to be seen. Wait until Martin finds
149
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.879
out Kevin Harch just did. This comedy has always been
150
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.560
about discovering new voices, and I'm excited to help shine
151
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.839
a light on talented performers who deserve that opportunity. No
152
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.240
quote from Joe Coy, but you may remember if you know, like,
153
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.000
who's Jokoy again? He's the guy one time he hosted
154
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.600
the Golden Globes and told this horrible, horrible, mean joke
155
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.519
about Taylor Swift.
156
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.840
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
157
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.120
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.
158
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.240
On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots.
159
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.240
Of Taylor Swift. What a vicious comedian, I mean, just
160
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.240
what a horrible, mean joke. Okay from the LA Times.
161
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.879
How to have the best Sunday in LA According to
162
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:55.679
star trek Ruiner paton Oswalt. Paton Oswalt has shared his
163
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.799
ideal Sunday in Los Angeles. He says seven am and
164
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.639
a quiet breakfast at home. We learn I try to
165
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.600
be an early riser. Today I got up at eight thirty,
166
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.200
but a great day for me is getting up at
167
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.799
seven because I have that hour of quiet. I have
168
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.360
my breakfast, sip some tea, do some reading, and then
169
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.159
start my day. Anyone who says they consistently wake up
170
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.799
at seven am for the most part, they're probably lying.
171
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.600
Got news for your Patton. I'm up nine am morning
172
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.759
coffee with a side of people watching My perfect Sunday
173
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.759
starts at the studio City farmers Market. You do this
174
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.039
kind of roaming breakfast. I thought you had breakfast at seven,
175
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.120
so this is like second breakfast where they do the
176
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.759
Farmer's market. There's an amazing Tamali stand that does these
177
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.519
chicken and green chili tomales. You get one of those.
178
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.200
Then you go over to Jones on third and you
179
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.840
get yourself a really strong cup of coffee because Jones
180
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.240
is right there part of the Farmer's Market, right, so
181
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.679
he's had seven am breakfast where he had some tea,
182
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.879
and now at nine am you get second breakfast, which
183
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.799
includes Tamallay's and coffee. Okay, at ten am you destroy
184
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.600
Star Trek. You put on a dug the Vulcan costume,
185
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.480
and you pretend that you care at all all about
186
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.440
the series and it wasn't just a paycheck for you.
187
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.320
And you take the paycheck and you crap all over
188
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.159
sixty years of canon because what's it to you. Then
189
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.039
at eleven am you get into a book. You go
190
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.480
to the Last bookstore, not meaning the final bookstore, it
191
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.559
meaning a bookstore that is titled Capital L Capital B
192
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.039
Last Bookstore. I always drop by there and spend too
193
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.399
much money on a book. All right, So again, breakfast,
194
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.360
second breakfast, Ruined Star Trek, hand on over and over
195
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.320
to the bookstore. Then at one o'clock catch a matinee
196
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.039
and a macha. One of my favorite things is to
197
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.440
see a movie in the afternoon. I don't really eat
198
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.120
lunch these days. Well you had two breakfasts, dude. But
199
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.320
across the street from a theater he likes is a
200
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.600
place called Horror Vibes Coffee. It's based to around horror movies.
201
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.399
It's really popular. All these goth kids going there and
202
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.080
they make really good matchas. So I'll go in there.
203
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.679
I'll get a macha and take that into the movie theater.
204
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.519
And see a flick. The movie theater also makes good
205
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.759
chicken nuggets, and they make a delicious bagel dog. All right,
206
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.399
so again breakfast, second break You skip lunch, but you
207
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.279
have chicken nuggets and a bagel dog during the movie.
208
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.960
At four o'clock, you head back to the bookstore. This
209
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.679
all from the La Times. Pat Oswold said, when I'm
210
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.600
done at the movies, I'll take whatever book I've gotten
211
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.720
and go back down to the last bookstore and just
212
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.080
sit and read. Or if you really want to go
213
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.480
in a goblin mode reading, you go to the Iliad bookshop.
214
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.080
They encourage you to go in there, sit and read.
215
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.480
There are store cats everywhere that are hanging around the store.
216
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.159
Kiddies are very friendly. So all right, so you have breakfast,
217
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.120
second breakfast, a movie where you're on like your third coffee.
218
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.679
You have some chicken nuggets, a bagel dog. Then you
219
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.960
go to the bookstore and you read a book that
220
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.120
you bought at a different bookstore. I'm sure they love you.
221
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.399
Deliad has these big, over stuffed couches and chairs with
222
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.120
blown springs. You're encouraged to sit on a lounge and
223
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.080
read the book you bought at the other bookstore. They
224
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.360
have no problem with you doing that. A big thing
225
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.000
for me now is having two to three uninterrupted hours
226
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.360
just reading, no phone, nothing, don't go anywhere, don't do anything. Now,
227
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.840
this is fantastic. The La Times has an editor's note
228
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:05.240
and they wrote, editors, not the iliod is closed Sundays. Wow, Patten, amazing,
229
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.159
Thank you La Times editor. Then at six o'clock you
230
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.039
sit down for some sushi, because yeah, you gotta be starving.
231
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.440
You haven't had anything since like one o'clock when you
232
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.879
had chicken nuggets and a bagel dog after two breakfasts.
233
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.879
Patton enjoys sushi simochy. I can't rave enough about this place.
234
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.519
They have a black cod sushi and the black cod
235
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.639
is slightly seared. It's not cold, it's not totally cooked.
236
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.399
There's something about cold rice. And then this slightly seared,
237
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.000
slightly burned black cod. The flavor is so perfect. I
238
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.960
love it. Then at eight o'clock you take an outdoor
239
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.279
stroll and return to your book. Patton Oswald explains there's
240
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.720
nothing wrong with double dipping. You don't have to read
241
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.559
just once during the day. You can go back and forth.
242
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.440
That is a perfect Sunday in La for Batton Oswald.
243
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.799
I would then suggest you put on the television series
