Bowen Yang on Dave Chappelle PLUS the richest comedians in the world

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.359
Callaroga Shark Media. I am Jenny
Mack with your daily comedy news. A

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.519
slow news day. To be honest, let's put our feet up. We'll

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.519
take it a little slower today and
going to be a little more conversational than

4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.000
usual. Jimmy Fallon had a good
joke. He said, I'm not sure

5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.920
Biden's border plan is going to work. Forget the border, we can't even

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.199
secure the deodor and at Walgreens.
Vulture profiled bow and Yang and Keenan Thompson.

7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.439
Since they are comedians, the topic
of course cancel culture. Bowen says,

8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.520
everybody's highly personal about what they find
funny, so it's everyone's value systems

9
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.119
meeting at the same time. That
makes it completely ripe for conflict. Vultra

10
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.479
says. He then stops and reconsiders
his choice of words, not conflict.

11
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.479
I always boil it down to a
healthy discussion about what's going on in the

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.280
world. Bowen addressed the accusation that
he distanced himself from Dave Chappelle. You

13
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.600
may recall that Chappelle showed up in
episode ten of this season. Some viewers

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.079
noticed that Yang was standing on the
opposite side of the stage from Dave and

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.200
had his arms crossed. Yang said, I stand where I always stand on

16
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:06.799
good Night, So it was not
a physical distance that anyone is creating.

17
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.359
It had to do with so many
things that were completely internal. Ultra dug

18
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.359
in asking if he was unhappy with
Chappell's appearance, Boone said, it was

19
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.400
about other people's response in the show. I was just confused. That was

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.519
it. People were confused because Chappelle
wasn't part of the episode. That episode

21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.920
was hosted by Takota Johnson. The
following week, episode eleven, Republican presidential

22
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.040
candidate Nikki Haley appeared. Then episode
twelve was Shane Gillis. All right,

23
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.879
it's a little run of controversy.
Thompson laughs and says controversy. Yang chimes

24
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.799
in, I'm gonna give Lord Michael
some credit to that meta narrative. There's

25
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.840
a story around the show now,
and it's his show. He gets to

26
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.319
do whatever he wants. How did
they feel about Shane Gillis being brought back?

27
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.840
Yang says he's used to their names
being mentioned together since they joined the

28
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.640
same year. Ultra points out Gillis
never actually appeared. He was fired before

29
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.560
the premiere. Anytime our names are
in the same sentence, at least in

30
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.560
a journalistic way. It always feels
a deally turious. What does that word

31
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.760
even mean? And I definitely didn't
say it right. Apparently it means causing

32
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.200
harm or damage. It feels like
one person's trying to undo the other.

33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.560
I was just really curious about what
the show would be like and if it

34
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.240
would were an opportunity to really move
past it. He and I have done

35
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.759
enough things in our careers now to
really not have that be the definitive beginning

36
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.800
or the thing that casts up all
over everything else that we do going forward.

37
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.039
Thompson praise the writers, saying the
show is doing an incredible job,

38
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.159
in my opinion, just allowing for
the times to dictate what's appropriate, what's

39
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.680
funny, and what's not. It
feels like the New York Dinner Table.

40
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.360
He's honored to be the longest running
cast member and jokes until I get into

41
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.840
a group of black people and they're
like, we don't watch SNL. I'm

42
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.639
like, you know, I'm representing
for y'all. But when says that's what

43
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.400
I run into too, with queer
people and with Asian people, Oh,

44
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.599
we don't watch this one Developing probably
has developed by the time you're hearing this.

45
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.719
A Quebec judge has approved the sale
of Just for Last assets to Comedy

46
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.039
High. I talked about this the
other day, but it looks like the

47
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.520
festival will come back. Comedy h
will not acquire the company in its entirety,

48
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.479
but it will take possession of the
Just for Last festival, zoo Fest,

49
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.120
Comedy Pro and the Gags brands,
plus the audio visual catalogs. So

50
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.719
when you take all those things out, I'm not sure what Just for Laughs

51
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.840
is without the festival and the audio
visual catalog and the stuff. I don't

52
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.800
know. The Comedy Ha CEO said, I remember the times I used to

53
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.479
come to Just for Laughs. So
today it's a great day for us.

54
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.800
It's the first day of a new
era for Comedy Ha. Or maybe it's

55
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.800
pronounced comida ha. There's an ee
there come d I capital ha exclamation point

56
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.719
commiita ha. Who knows, Yeah, I think it's comiita Ha. Comiita

57
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.319
Ha says they intend to redefine its
development plans and order to support growth in

58
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.800
all sectors of activity, including festival's
production of live shows, TV promotion,

59
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.960
tour promotion, distribution and monetization of
content. Comida Ha has a festival in

60
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.199
Quebec City that'll have its twenty fifth
edition from August first to the twenty fourth.

61
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.879
Maybe I'll go to that. I've
been to Quebec city yet, and

62
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.280
I'm not clear here. I've read
two articles. It's a little unclear.

63
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.520
I think they're doing a festival this
year. The Comitaja Salute in Montreal festival

64
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.879
will take place July eighteen to the
twenty eighth at the usual places they're in

65
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.759
downtown Montreal. The CEO says next
year we should be back to as it

66
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.240
used to be. So I wonder
if they're doing a mini festival here.

67
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.240
I'll let you know when I find
out. All right, if you listen

68
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.479
every day, I have kind of
two halves of the show. Usually in

69
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.879
the front half I do all the
big names. In the second half I

70
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.480
do more esoteric stuff. There's nothing
to load the front block today. I

71
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.600
have plenty for the second half.
So this is where I mentioned I would

72
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.399
get a little more conversational. I
got a note from a listener who DM

73
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.759
me. So when listeners dm me, I don't use their name, so,

74
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.560
but thank you listener who was curious
about how I feel about Joe Koy,

75
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.480
and it reminded me not everybody listens
every day. Do I not like

76
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.120
Joe Koy? Do I not find
him funny? So let me clear this

77
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.519
up. I like Joe Cooy.
I think Joe Coy is funny. I

78
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.680
haven't seen the New Specialty. I've
been watching Star Trek this week. I

79
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.439
have had conversations with Joe Koy,
nice guy. As for the bit,

80
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.639
A lot of my influences are from
eighties Letterman, and I like beating a

81
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.959
joke to death. As I've explained
a few people lately, the Joekoy bit

82
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.879
where I head into a new story, say Joe Koy, and then I

83
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.439
do something like, you know one
time he did this horrible thing, and

84
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.680
then I played the club I'm not
gonna do it today. That is me

85
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.560
beating the dead horse. I have
beaten the dead horse. It has gone

86
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.560
from it was funny to not funny
at all to John will please stop,

87
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.839
And for some of us it has
come back up to being funny again because

88
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.480
I've beaten the horse so badly.
But along the way you get new listeners

89
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:27.040
who might not realize that I'm just
goofing my real take is it's a harmless

90
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.839
joke and Taylor Swift should have just
smiled or something, and nobody would be

91
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.079
talking about it, especially one idiot
beating a joke to death. What six

92
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.000
seven months later, So I do
like Joe Coy, I haven't seen a

93
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.759
new special. Fit Fugitive saw it
and they wrote, do you know the

94
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.120
famous meme where something is supposed to
be funny, but when you're watching it,

95
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:46.959
it's a whole other story. Most
of the time I was watching Joe

96
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.800
Koy Live from Brooklyn, and that's
how I was feeling. And that's quite

97
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:55.360
ironic considering the opening ten minutes of
Jokoy's Netflix special literally ask you to laugh

98
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.800
out loud. Coy explicitly talks about
people who he terms energy vampires. These

99
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.839
are the people with whom you hang
out with and then end up feeling miserable.

100
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.800
He jokes about people who aren't quite
laughing even while watching a comedy special.

101
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.639
Then Joe goes full boomer and starts
talking about the effects of social media.

102
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.399
According to Joe Coy, your social
media friends are not your real friends.

103
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.839
You should get out more and put
effort into real world friendships. I

104
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.560
don't think that's ridiculous at all.
But this writer writes, I obviously can't

105
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.639
agree, because all the genuine friends
I have are actually the ones I made

106
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.199
on social media, and hell,
the same goes for relationship as well.

107
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.079
Yet you might argue that's my personal
thing. Why should I bring it up

108
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.319
when a comedian is blatantly generalizing and
it's quite stupid, to be honest,

109
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.519
especially the bit where Coy seeks to
out how he used to get scared when

110
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.800
talking to a girl and just talking
to her compared to how people just slide

111
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.000
to dms these days. La da
da da da. So I'm guessing here

112
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.800
the special touch to nerve with the
writer, who then adds, at this

113
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.120
point, I should clarify myself.
I'm not out here to launch a skating

114
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.279
attack on the comedian. I'm just
doing my job here, which is honestly

115
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.439
telling you how I felt after watching
Live from Brooklyn. Now, if you

116
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.519
ask me, I've seen worse stand
up sets compared to this. Joe Coy

117
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.199
might be unfunny for the most part, but he's certainly not boring. There's

118
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.800
a review, all right, I'll
have to actually watch this thing. Now

119
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.319
here's one that would normally be weekend
filler. But let me use it.

120
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.279
Here a slide show from MSN dot
com. John, Are you recording your

121
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.199
podcast in two thousand and two?
I know right, this one is the

122
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.839
richest comedians in the world. There
are twenty one slides. I haven't looked

123
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.759
at it. Let's see number nineteen. Terry Fader. You know the famous

124
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.279
of ventriloquist and impressionist. He's had
a residency in Las Vegas for quite some

125
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.319
time. Okay, and add slideshow
Cotini the next slide, Oh, MSN,

126
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.000
what are we doing here? Nineteen
Stefan Rob. It's a tie for

127
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.800
nineteen. I didn't mess up there. I was curious about why Terry Fader

128
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.319
was number nineteen. Okay, now
I'm interested. Who's this? Once known

129
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.040
as the most powerful man in German
television, Stefan Rob hosted the comedy based

130
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:51.040
talk shows Evasion and TV Total.
He's also contributed to the Eurovision Song Contest

131
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.360
as a performance songwriter and producer.
In twenty fifteen, he retired from television,

132
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.839
who focused primarily on production. Networth
on hundred sixty million dollars. Interesting

133
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.959
eighteen and I didn't even recognize this
person. A picture came up and I'm

134
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.160
like, who is this another German
comedian? No, it's Drew Carrey.

135
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.720
Drew Carey no longer looks like Drew
Carrey. Networth under at sixty five million.

136
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.680
Seventeen Bill Murray. You know that
is? Slideshow continues after this ad.

137
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.279
A tie at fourteen Steve Harvey side
with Ray Romano, side with Conan

138
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.920
Another AD thirteen, Dan Ackroyd twelve, Seth McFarlane. A tie for number

139
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.560
ten Larry David four hundred million,
side with David Letterman. Another AD number

140
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.480
nine Adam Sandler worth four hundred and
forty million dollars. Actually, I meant

141
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.679
to bring this up as well.
As much as I'm joking about Jokoy,

142
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.759
I'm not joking about Adam Sandler.
His movies are terrible. Anything I ever

143
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.840
say about Adam Sandler, do I
stylize it to be halfway entertaining? Sure?

144
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.080
Do I dislike Adam sandler movies?
Absolutely? A tie at number seven

145
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.960
Kevin Hart and Jay Leno number six, Ellen number four another tie. Come

146
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.320
on with the ties here, guys. Trey Parker, HM, who do

147
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.120
you think Trey Parker from South Park's
gonna be tide? Let me guess nope

148
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.200
by slad joke at that next slide, MSN, Come on, bro,

149
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.639
this is ridiculous. Matt Greening part
of the TI see not who was expecting

150
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.960
there? Matt Greening from The Simpsons. Number three is Matt Stone and they

151
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.399
have addressed this, they write co
creator Matt Stone is reportedly worth one hundred

152
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.639
million dollars more than series covisionary Trape
Parker why. Stone is known for his

153
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:31.000
savvy real estate investments. Interesting number
two Byron Allen. Yeah you may remember

154
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.600
him if you're old like me.
He was on a show called Real People

155
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.159
a zillion years ago. He has
done a lot of investing. He owns

156
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.000
TV networks. That dude is super
successful and number one Jerry Seinfeld. If

00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.240
Pretty cool, right? Yes?
I mentioned the other day that Stand Up

163
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.159
New York was moving or had moved
out of the Upper west Side and that

164
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.519
it had been a cool location because
comedians could just jump in there a little

165
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.080
out of the way as much as
out of the way Upper West Side could

166
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.720
be. Well. Apparently the folks
at the New York Comedy Club have listened

167
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.000
to me. They're buying the location
two thirty six West seventy eighth Street near

168
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.600
Broadway. New York Comedy Club is
taking over, revamping and rebranding the existing

169
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.600
stand up New York Comedy Club,
so folks like Jerry and Amy Schumer will

170
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.279
have somewhere to duck into on the
down low. Kevin James is going to

171
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.879
play bad boy golfer John Daily in
an upcoming limited series Why I don't know

172
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.960
either. Heidi Gardner spoke to the
La Times about auditioning for SNL. She

173
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.440
said, you get five minutes,
and they said, don't go over.

174
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.240
So I did twelve characters in five
minutes. I just tried to wham bam

175
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.000
them. Then I heard they wanted
me to come back with this time I

176
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.000
it'd be a whole new set,
and I was like, but those are

177
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.159
the twelve those are the ones I
had. I was just performing at the

178
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.000
Groundlings and so many shows and failing
a lot so for that second edition,

179
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.159
and I was like, well that's
sketch. Didn't work at the groundings,

180
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.639
but I think people like this one
little part of a character. I could

181
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.240
do that for fifteen seconds. So
I always say in my second audition,

182
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.000
I did my bench players, and
they got me the job. Tim Minchin,

183
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.000
who is fantastic, is touring the
States the first time since twenty eleven.

184
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.200
It's unclear how serious or not this
is. It is titled an Unfunny

185
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.639
Evening with Tim Minchin and his piano. The subtitle does add, however,

186
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:28.080
the promoter can't guarantee the artist will
not inadvertently amuse So is he playing serious

187
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.039
songs from his album Apart Together,
is he playing stuff from Matilda and grownhog

188
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.960
Day? Or is he playing the
funny songs? Anyway, super talented guy,

189
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.039
I'm sure he'lle plays something funny.
You should go. Tim Minchin,

190
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.480
as statement said, it's been over
a decades since I played solo in the

191
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.519
States. I'm so excited to be
back at nothing compares to us audiences.

192
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.720
It's a pre sale that starts today, Tim fan is your code. The

193
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.279
tour kicks off August third in Vancouver, which is not in the United States

194
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.440
US Premier Portland, Oregon. On

195
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.879

196
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.720
C. And it wraps up in
New York City. And that is your

197
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.960
comedy news for to day. Tomorrow
my wonderful hour long interview with Mark Malcoff,

198
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.919
we talk about Late Night. I
hope you really enjoy it. I

199
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.399
know I've been hyping it up.
It's pretty good. That's tomorrow in a

200
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.080
normal episode on Sunday. See you
