00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.000
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie
Mack with your daily comedy news. Disability

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.839
charity Scope has been forced to moderate
its social media accounts after receiving hateful messages

3
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.879
in response to Ricky Gervais's comedy routine
Is from The Independent. The charity had

4
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.280
criticized a joke made by Ricky,
who used the term baldy while referring to

5
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.920
terminally ill children in his new special
Armageddon. Ricky jokes that the children supported

6
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.640
by the Macawish Foundation were fing our
words for not wishing to get better.

7
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.640
In a tweet, Scope said,
language like this has consequences. The stage

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.719
is real, Netflix is real.
The people this kind of language impacts are

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.320
real. Joking about this kind of
language trivializes it. It risks normalizing the

10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.920
abuse that many disabled people face on
a day to day basis. Two days

11
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.679
later, they had to turn off
replies on Twitter, clarifying that we aren't

12
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.600
here to dictate what anyone should or
should not find funny. They denied attempts

13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.239
to police comedy or speak on behalf
of all disabled people. They were asked

14
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.719
why they drew attention to Ricky's routine
comedians using the arsler and Bolden's others to

15
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.359
use it. We've seen this firsthand
this week with disabled people being abused directly

16
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.359
in their applies to our post.
Bill Berg got political on Jimmy Kimmel's show

17
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.040
and said, you want to see
a great case on narcissism. Liberals are

18
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.040
so effing stupid in the way they
handled Trump. Leave the narcissist neutral energy

19
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.280
neutral. You know what I think
he was. He was a one hit

20
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.879
wonder. He wrote the Twist and
that was it. He was on the

21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.040
casino circuit and then you idiot liberals
wrote the twist again when you indicted him,

22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.599
and now he's a martyr. He's
coming back. Jimmy, I can't

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.319
believe that these are honestly going to
be our two choices, because I really

24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.719
try with each thing to be like, figure out who I'm gonna you know,

25
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.040
there's got to be on somebody in
their forties, somebody that's going to

26
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.519
live with their decisions. Burr then
said, with any luck, they'll both

27
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.439
die of natural causes before the election, and maybe you can get somebody that

28
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.519
still has something to live for,
you know. Send your letters to Bill

29
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.879
Burr care of Jimmy Kimmel. Alive. This next story made me just go

30
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.599
Really from the Cut, despite the
fact that they look nothing alike, agreed,

31
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:07.799
people keep confusing comedians Bowen Yang and
Joel Kim Booster. Yeah, why,

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.039
The Cut says, It's pretty easy
to tell them apart if you have

33
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.680
at least one working eye, a
modicum of critical thinking skills, and didn't

34
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.000
sleep through your mandated DEI training in
twenty twenty. Last week, in an

35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.000
article, The Hollywood Reporter included a
tweet of Joel Kim Boosters as an example

36
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.120
of a notable celebrity speaking out against
Juliana Marghley's. However, they also refer

37
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.960
to Joel Kim Booster as a quote
Saturday Night Live comedian He's not That would

38
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.479
be Bowen Yang. Bowen Yang,
who is not Joel Kim Booster addressed it

39
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.879
on his podcast Las Culturistas. Bowen
said, Also, I don't think so,

40
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.719
honey. Hollywood Reporter for is still
confusing me and Joelkim Booster. In

41
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.759
an article about this whole Juliana Marghleiz
thing an article that's reporting on racism,

42
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.919
co host Matt Rodgers said, how
ironic is that? Made me so upset?

43
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.800
It's an article reporting on racism,
and then you do the racist bs

44
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.800
of SNL comedian Joel Kim Booster.
The first was in twenty nineteen, when

45
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.560
Hollywood Reporter shared a photo of Booster
alongside an article about Yang's hiring atn SNL.

46
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.280
Jeez. The cut points out what's
out about this situation. It's not

47
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.159
hard to tell Yang and Booster part
they don't look similar, their comedy styles

48
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.280
are different, and one of them
wears glasses. It's much easier to tell

49
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.080
them apart than say, Jimmy Fallon
and Jimmy Kimmel. Chevy Chase fell off

50
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.560
a stage and I think it was
real. TMC has the video footage.

51
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.400
I watched it. I don't think
Chevy was doing a bit. They wheeled

52
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.800
Chevy on stage for a Q and
a conversation after a screening of nineteen eighty

53
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.560
nine's National Lampoon's Christmasification. Chevy stands
up, walks towards the other side of

54
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.439
the stage to wave hello, and
then seems to stumble and fall off the

55
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.560
stage. Again. I don't think
it's a bit. He's helped back on

56
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.599
the stage by his wife as well
as the interviewer. Chevy said, wait,

57
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.439
my watch is talking to me.
It says, I see I've taking

58
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.639
a great fall. Then Chevy's wife
is seen tinkering with the watch and says,

59
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.840
otherwise they might send an ambulance.
Who knows. On Gossip Corner,

60
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:04.000
Adam Sandler spotted by Sanna Antonian's Adam
Sailor clad in green sweatpants emblazoned with lightning

61
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:09.120
bolts and a blue puffer jacket.
He makes me look like George Clooney.

62
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.800
San Antonio local Alex managed to get
a photo with Adam Sandler. In the

63
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.000
photo, Adam Sandler is seen enjoying
a cup of freshly brewed coffee from larder

64
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.839
while seated in their outdoor patio area. Jackie Novak is getting a Netflix special.

65
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.079
We are over using the word special, folks. This one directed by

66
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.160
Natasha Leone, who also executive produce
it. It's a half hour concert film,

67
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.040
half comedy show. It is quotes
both raunchy and poignant, and an

68
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.920
unexpectedly philosophical coming of age triumph that
pushes the boundaries of stand up. Jacqueline

69
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:44.279
Novak Get on Your Knees, Netflix, January twenty third. That's early in

70
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.959
the year. It could be number
one on my list of best stand up

71
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.480
in twenty twenty four, at least
for a moment. We'll see Culture That

72
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.079
spoke to Mae Martin about their dating
habits. May said, when I'm single,

73
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.120
I really enjoyed dating. I'll admit
I could be two activity based.

74
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.279
I'm a big fan of an escape
room and arcade things like that. When

75
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.680
it comes to first dates, I
feel like you know pretty quickly you don't

76
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.560
want to get in a situation where
you're going on a lot of third and

77
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.120
fourth dates where you wind up having
twenty mini breakups. Be honest when you

78
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.240
have a connection and pursue it.
If not, be really clear. In

79
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.600
my early thirties, I was living
in London and dating a couple. That

80
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.759
was my first experience with alternative relationship
structures. I loved how they navigated the

81
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.120
world. It was one of the
healthiest romantic experiences of my life. They

82
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.279
introduced me to Field feeld. I'm
unfamiliar with it. I'm looking my family

83
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.600
is going to be like what is
in your search history? John, Let's

84
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.519
see. Welcome to Field, the
modern dating app connecting like minded individuals for

85
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:41.600
fulfilling relationships. The Google machine tells
me it facilitates communication between people interested in

86
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.319
ethical non monogamy, polyamory, casual
sex, kink, swinging, and other

87
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.160
alternative relationship models. Wasn't familiar with
that one. Between that and watching Whitney

88
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.279
Cumming specials, my family is going
to be like, what are you doing

89
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.879
down there? Anyway, this couple
that May Martin was dating introduced them to

90
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.360
Field. Martin says, those apps, you know, they could sort of

91
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.720
pressing, but it seemed like it
had a sense of humor about itself.

92
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.639
There's more of a sense of fun
and play on Field than any of the

93
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.639
others. Are right, they got
their plugs in there. May about those

94
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.800
escape rooms, May said you have
to gauge your date's level of tolerance for

95
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.399
terror and history. And there's some
that are more puzzle based. I like

96
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.680
the ones with live actors. There's
one that I did on date. It

97
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.920
was very ill advised. My date
was nervous and said, there are no

98
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.319
actors in this right. I didn't
think there were, And I asked the

99
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.560
people who worked there. I was
like other actors, and they lied.

100
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.639
So there we were, and a
man came in with a chainsaw and this

101
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.879
poor person I was on the date
with was just traumatized, but in a

102
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.839
way we trauma bonded. It was
kind of a fun story. Well,

103
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.360
I'm stilling over that last news story
there. I'm no prude, but uh,

104
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.000
we were out there a little bit
there, Jenny Mick. Let's rain

105
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.920
it back in Ray Romano. He
runs a little bit more on my speed.

106
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.160
He's got a new Netflix eight episode
dark comedy series. I'm already in

107
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.399
Ray Romano comedy I'm in. It's
called No Good Deed. It follows three

108
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.639
very different families vying to buy the
same nineteen twenties Spanish style villa that they

109
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.480
think will solve all their problems.
But, as the sellers have already discovered,

110
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.800
some times, the home of your
dreams can be a total nightmare.

111
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.160
Ray Ramond plays Paul Morgan. He
doesn't look like a Paul Morgan. Change

112
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.160
that character's name. That's not good. Ramano will play Paul Morgan, Constantly

113
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.759
stressed and flat broke. Paul is
a contractor desperate to retire, pay off

114
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.399
his debts, and escape la.
He thinks selling his beautiful luss for these

115
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.879
home is the solution to all and
his wife Lydia's problems, but his past

116
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.959
mistakes will continue to haunt him hmm, dead to me on Netflix no date

117
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.240
yet. Eddie Hazard will play twenty
three characters in an adaptation of William Shakespeare's

118
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.279
Hamlet. This will be at the
Greenwich House Theater in New York City starting

119
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.920
January twenty fifth. Official opening night
you know Broadway and off Broadway works right

120
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.920
February eleventh, Susi Eddie Hazzard said
in a statement, I've always gravitated towards

121
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.319
playing complex and challenging characters, and
Hamlet is the ultimate. This is a

122
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.720
production for everyone at Timeless Drama with
an accidental hero. Izard will be portraying

123
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.040
men, women, ghosts, scholars, tyrants, courtiers, lovers, fools,

124
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.360
and poets. If you missed out
on Comedy Fantasy Camp, well good

125
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.240
news. Comedy Fantasy Camp Volume two
with Adam Curl and Jay Leno starting up

126
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.600
in February. February twenty ninth,
It's a leap year. It's in March

127
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.800
third. Jay said, I like
to talk to comics, and comics like

128
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.480
to help other comics. I have
more in common with comedians than some people

129
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.120
have known my whole life. Writing
jokes is the hardest thing in the world.

130
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.480
Where's a power. You need to
learn how to use them. The

131
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.480
class will be led by such stars
as John Lovetz, Trevor Wallace, Carolyn

132
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.240
Ray, and Moore yet to be
announced guests. The Rap took a look
