Kennedy Center will present the 27th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Bill Maher at a gala featuring comedians including Louis C.K., Whitney Cummings, and Jay Leno, plus John Mellencamp and Stephen A.

He riffs on bios for Louis C.K. and Jay Leno, including checking Leno’s voice-acting credits. He also covers Jo Koy hosting the filmed showcase series “Martin Lawrence Presents: Pass the Mic” in Albuquerque, and summarizes an LA Times piece on Patton Oswalt’s ideal Sunday routine.

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.919
Callaroga Shark Media.

2
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

79
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.839

80
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.600

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.120

83
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.160
and appeared in the feature film Fourth of July, released

84
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.319
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

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

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

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

244
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.480
Star Trek, not Next Generation, not Voyager, not Deep Space nine,

245
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.559
not Strange Worlds, the one just called Star Trek, and

246
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.279
you watch Leonard Nimoy show you how to play a Vulcan,

247
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.919
not dub the vulcan, spok the vulcan. And that is

248
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.720
a pretty casual episode of Daily Company News on a Sunday.

249
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.440
All right, June's almost over, So if you're going to

250
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.480
share the show, this would be the one to share.

251
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.960
Be like, Hey, this guy goes on this weird Star

252
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.440
Trek rant in the middle of talking about Patton Oswalt,

253
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.279
and I have no idea what he means. That would

254
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.600
be the episode you want to share, So do that

255
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.519
right now, your phone's in your hand, hit share and

256
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.200
just type what I just told you to do. You

257
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.039
can follow a show on Spotify. Comments are on, so

258
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.039
if you want to write WTF, you could do that.

259
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.840
It'll help the algorithm and comments are on in the

260
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.000
Facebook group. Congratulations Bill Moore, See tomorrow.
