the choices there. Can I hand it in a blank ballot.

32
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.760

38
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.159
we love Carol Burnett. Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series,

39
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.760
John Bernhal for non comedy series The Bear. I mean

40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.000
you mentioned giving John Bernthal a Comedy Emmy for what

41
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.680
he did in The Bear, Matthew Broderick for Murders, Ryan

42
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.960
Gosling SNL, Christopher Lloyd Hacks, Bob Odenkirk in The Bear.

43
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.039
I have no strong feelings there either. Let's give it

44
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.240
a Christopher Lloyd. Why not?

45
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:14.759
Oh?

46
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.159
And also Will Poulter for The Bear. Sorry, I put

47
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.759
a break in my little list there where a Breake

48
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.280
didn't go. But The Bear not a comedy series. Sorry.

49
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.919
Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, Olivia Coleman The Bear,

50
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.439
Jimmie Lee The Bear, Caitlyn Olsen for Hacks, Divine Joy

51
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.280
Randolph for Murders my Rudolph, and Kristin Wigg both for

52
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.240
SNL appearances. Let's give it to Kaitlyn Olsen because they'll

53
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.919
probably never reward her for It's always Sonny and I

54
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.120
have in fact checked that maybe she's won ten Emmys

55
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.439
for Sonny. I don't know, but let's give it a

56
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.680
Kaitlyn Olsen best talk series, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmellive

57
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.680
Seth and Colebert. I would give it to Kimmel. Roy

58
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.319
Wood Juniors CNN show Have I Got News for You?

59
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.960
Makes its debut tonight. I'm rooting for your Roy, but

60
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.719
boy tough time slot again. The way the show works,

61
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.080
two teams of comedians, new makers, actors, and media personalities

62
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.879
use news clips and headlines to drum up jokes and gags,

63
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.599
all improv style through a round of different segments. Amber

64
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.039
Ruffin hosts one team, Michael ian Black the other. Roy

65
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.680
Wood Junior says the desires to get newsmakers, even polarizing ones,

66
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.080
to take part. Roy says, in America, we're not always

67
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.639
the biggest fans of the bad person being given the microphone.

68
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.680
But above all, this is about laughing and what have

69
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.680
we got to say? And if we can get those

70
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.360
two things to connect every week, then I think we'll

71
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:26.680
have a product that's going to be on the air

72
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.560
for a very long time. Roy, this thing's going to

73
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.879
be on the air for ten weeks. It is not again,

74
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.960
I'm not saying it's not good. I'm saying they scheduled

75
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.080
it on Saturday night. Ten weeks. Write it down, sorry. Buddy.

76
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.479
Roy says this was the type of scenario I was

77
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.280
hoping for when he didn't get the Daily Show. If

78
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.120
there was a good opportunity for me, I believed it

79
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.919
would happen in an election year, not after. And that's

80
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.800
what's gonna happen with the show. Ten weeks takes you

81
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.639
just too about the election. I'm telling you, sorry, Buddy.

82
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.319
Michael Ian Black says the show's format offers a late

83
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.280
night vibe with fast paced topical humor, even though it's

84
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.639
airing in prime time on set Saturday night. He highlights

85
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.159
how the panelists don't know the topics beforehand, which means

86
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.520
they have to react on the spot. His first reaction

87
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.039
to the show being on CNN, he said bizarre. He

88
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.039
was intrigued by CNN's desire to branch out. He says,

89
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.280
we want people from all walks of life as long

90
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.240
as we can make fun of them. Colin jos and

91
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.519
Michael Jay did their live special on Peacock Thursday evening. Boy,

92
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.199
did you feel the buzz? The earth practically shook from

93
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.399
everybody talking about this thing. Man, Wow, Peacock, what an

94
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.040
impact this thing made. John, you're sarcastic today. Joe said,

95
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.079
tonight's gonna be like group sex. If it goes well,

96
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.720
then we can do it again every couple months with

97
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.800
our friends. And if it goes really bad, it's a disaster.

98
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.360
We'll never talk about it again. And either way we're

99
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.000
gonna film it. Good joke. We're on Peacock. You guys

100
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.199
know Peacock, right. You know Peacock from the phrase I

101
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.319
can't believe the NFL made as a download Peacock. Michael

102
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.839
Jay said, what the f is wrong with you? Man?

103
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.040
The checks didn't clear. This is the experience that we

104
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.680
have to when we go to drop to places. We

105
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.480
want to give that to the country. Does Peacock play

106
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.879
all over the country? Jost? We wanted it to be

107
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.800
the second funniest line I've event this week after the debate.

108
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.959
Nothing sounds more presidential than screaming they're eating the cats

109
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.959
and the dogs. I think that was Thomas Jefferson. The Special,

110
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.519
which you know everybody watched. Everybody's buzzing about it. Oh peacock, man,

111
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.000
give it up. The Special saw a previously unannounced lineup

112
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.680
of comics take the stage one by one. They included

113
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:22.079
Alex English, a Eita Rodriguez, Amina Amani, and Carlos Miller.

114
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.120
Good closer Mike Birbigley, who grabbed the mic and forced

115
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.360
Jost into a Q and A for Biglia said I

116
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.399
recently texted Colin and asked him to be on my

117
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.120
podcast working it out? Do you remember what you wrote back? Pause? Nothing?

118
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.480
Salvolcano made an appearance, so did Sarah Sherman, who said

119
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.360
about Joe's this place is close to my apartment. Looks

120
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.319
like you didn't respect the restraining order. Stephen Colbert with

121
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.959
a good joke, and to see an ND poll taking

122
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.759
immediately after the debate, sixty three percent said Harris won.

123
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.160
Thirty seven percent said Trump one, which of course means

124
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.240
that thirty seven percent of Americans don't own TVs. Jimmy Fallon,

125
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.839
following his rough debate, Trump's inner circles now doing damage control.

126
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.040
I'm sorry you work for Donald Trump? What are you

127
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.279
not doing damage control? Hank Azaria took to Twitter as

128
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.240
Chief Wigham, Let's listen.

129
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.399
Spring Fair Police Chief clans Wigham speaking, I'm gonna have

130
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:12.199
you people are eating dogs? What do I mean a

131
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:19.800
hot dog. Oh cats, mister Katz is eating hot dog. Nah.

132
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.439
People are eating dogs and cats. People are eating dogs

133
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.439
and cats in Springfan? Are they good?

134
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.160
Some sag After members, including romy Yousef, are among the

135
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.959
hundreds of union members calling on their organization's leadership to

136
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.959
keep people from being blacklisted for their views on Palestine.

137
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.240
Friend of the Show Scott Beckett sent me an article

138
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.600
from the Wall Street Journal. Norm Dwormann, who owns the

139
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.839
Comedy Seller, says, I curate laughter. Nothing should be off limits,

140
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.959
but there's obviously a very very very high degree of

141
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.439
difficulty for certain matters. The topic at a hand here.

142
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.439
Gaza Noom says, the Israel Palestine war, maybe more than

143
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.480
any issue in my lifetime, has been really something that

144
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.600
people have not found a way to really joke about

145
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.800
and totally get away with. In June, he had to

146
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.199
refund a large party check because a comedian made an

147
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.680
offhand joke about the war. Nothing anybody would think was offensive,

148
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.839
but people are so sensitive on the subject they complained

149
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.800
and I gave them their money back. He says. Most

150
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.720
comedians are staying away from it. The few that have

151
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.920
tried are not really succeeding. One comedian who is an

152
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.360
exception to that. Andrew Schultz. No Onman said, I saw

153
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.560
him in Masson Square Garden do cemetery about kaza and

154
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.720
he was destroying. He was fantastic, but of course that

155
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.319
was his crowd. His audience is very diverse who enjoy

156
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.319
politically and correct humor, so they weren't offended. An example

157
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.759
of one of his jokes, which of course Andrew Schultz

158
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.839
would tell better than me. I saw people protesting the

159
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.839
Israel Palestine war was wild. All these white Australians out there,

160
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.319
shout and give them back their land. Noeman told a

161
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.800
story about comedy being therapeutic. He was speaking with Nick Apollo.

162
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.319
Noem tells Nick, I don't if my father's going to

163
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.480
make it much longer. Nick Nick said, oh no, who

164
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.879
gets the lexus? Noa said, my father's dying and he's

165
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.600
joking about who's going to get the car, and everybody

166
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.439
starts laughing. In a situation where everybody unders and each other,

167
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.800
nobody suspects the worst about where somebody's coming from, then

168
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.319
you talk about anything and be okay. The best comedians,

169
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.399
like all the great composers, will break rules. Dave Chappelle's

170
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.720
name came up, and what's gonna be in Dave Chapelle's obituary.

171
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.680
Johnny Max says one host of The Chappelle Show two

172
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.120
controversial comedian trans something something, Well, they talked about that,

173
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.160
and Torman says the transhumor controversy doesn't seem en have

174
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.759
to to Dave Chappelle's career in any way whatsoever. When

175
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.040
he comes down and performs at the Seller, nobody complaints,

176
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.000
and why would they. There's a wonderful culture at a

177
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.839
comedy club where you can talk about anything. And I

178
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.240
don't mean on stage. I'm actually talking among the comedians,

179
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.639
and that's why many of them say, I don't want

180
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.240
to hang out with anybody but comedians. Joda Rosa is

181
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.799
taping a special tonight at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

182
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.320
The Columbus Underground caught up with Mike Camplan. They were

183
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.080
talking about the Edinburgh Fringe. Mike said Edinburgh was like

184
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.600
putting the show through boot camp, like really working out

185
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.039
in one place the whole time, but there were a

186
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.759
variety of completely different audiences. There'd be some Americans, but

187
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.919
it usually be majority non American, often English speaking, but

188
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.320
not always English as a first language audience members over there,

189
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.000
they don't have the same TV show references. Necessarily, they

190
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.679
get American TV and movies, and our culture pervades the worlds.

191
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.799
I had one joke about family feud, but in Britain

192
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.120
it's called family Fortune, and they don't have Jeopardye. The

193
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.559
only people wh knew what I was saying about had

194
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.919
seen the movie White Men Can't Jump. It's a different

195
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.039
part of the world. But additionally, there are thousands of

196
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.759
shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest. I think I went

197
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.279
to about sixty shows that weren't mine, and I did

198
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.080
my show every night, plus a few other spots around

199
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.039
town here and there. Those sixty included other comedians, storytellers,

200
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.279
dance magic, a couple of amazing clown performers. The clown

201
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.879
seed in Edinburgh and Europe is massively large, something that

202
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.080
certainly doesn't exist in our culture in the same way.

203
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.960
It's a beautiful art form that's different from stand up

204
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.519
and from communists. Dot read your home for communist news

205
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.200
see what I did there? They wrote about the Fringe

206
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.559
under the headline no laughing matter, Thoughts from a Communist comedian.

207
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.399
The communist comedian rights the commodification of comedy shifts its

208
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.720
purpose from generating laughter through providing a unique perspective on life,

209
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.399
to generating profit. It becomes diluted by the need to

210
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.120
appeal to mass audiences. As promoters, mainstream comedians are pressured

211
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.240
to conform to market friendly content, avoiding material which may

212
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.639
alienate promoters. In Britain, the comedy scene has become increasingly commercialized,

213
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.360
with a focus on corporate sponsorships and high profile TV deals.

214
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.480
It offers a sanitized version of comedy, one that avoids

215
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.120
critiquing any element of CAPITALI society too Sharply, after all,

216
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.879
the only comedians are willing to echo the opinion of

217
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.600
the British establishment have any chance of making it. The

218
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.600
contemporary comedy scene is also a majority of gig economy

219
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.639
performers work under conditions of harsh financial instability and job instability,

220
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.559
particularly for working class comedians at the start of the career,

221
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.559
as most comedians will go at least six months before

222
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.039
receiving even five pounds per performance. This makes the industry

223
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.720
inaccessible for working class acts who don't have a cushion

224
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.000
of money to fall back on. Sadly, the Edinburgh fringe festival,

225
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.399
despite being celebrated for its diversity, continues to starkily reveal

226
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.799
these economic disparities, participation costs including accommodation, venue, higher fringe registration,

227
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.799
and promotional materials racking up into the thousands. Furthermore, the

228
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.559
many times offered to new or non mainstream acts tend

229
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.960
to be either in the middle of the day or

230
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.080
middle of the night. You know, I'm not sure I

231
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.159
disagree with the communist comedian. On the other hand, we

232
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.879
do live in a capitalist society and in all formats

233
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.720
play the hits. So if I can put I don't know,

234
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:18.240
Nate Bergatzi at eight o'clock and some obscure comedian doing

235
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.080
something a little avant garde. Yeah, that's not getting the

236
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279
eight o'clock room. I don't have a solution for you.

237
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.440
I'm not going to advocate that we turn this into

238
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.639
the communist comedy society, but I do think Communist comedian

239
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.519
did make some points. And that's your comedy news for

240
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.120
today tomorrow, part two of vulturest Comedians You should and

241
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200
Must Know or whatever it's called. I can't even remember.

242
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.559
See that
