00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Caalaroka Shark Media. Hey my voice is back. Hello Johnnie

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.519
Mack with your daily comedy news. Now I'm supposed to

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.759
lead off with like whatever the biggest name is. That's

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.640
how this is supposed to work. But I'm gonna indulge

5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.879
myself here because I'm really excited. Netflix has announced a

6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.519
January second premiere for Kunk on Life. I don't know

7
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.960
if you watched Kunk on Earth. It was my favorite

8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.640
thing last year. British comedian Diane Morgan is returning to

9
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.399
Netflix in January with Kunk on Life, a new one

10
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.560
off special I wish we were getting like ata Those

11
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.479
centered on her comedic documentarian character Filimina Kunk. The Specialties

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.280
Kunk returned with her most ambitious quest to date, venturing

13
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.159
right up to the universe and everything to examine life itself.

14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.159
The tagline what's the point of it all? Is a

15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.719
question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time.

16
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.000
But as we cling to our dying planet, working around

17
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.679
the clock while we're slowly being replaced by machines, Now

18
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.600
that's funny. Now, more than ever, people are desperately looking

19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.719
to make sense of their lives before or someone invents

20
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.280
a computer that makes sense of it for them. Seriously,

21
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.680
if you haven't watched Kunk on Life, it's on Netflix.

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.079
It is hilarious and there's a recurring bit that just

23
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.400
gets funnier and funnier and funnier. I loved Kunk on Earth.

24
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.799
Conk on Life, we'll see Fillamina tackle some of the

25
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.959
most complex concepts to ever been discovered, including quantum physics, existentialism, nihilism, hedonism,

26
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.040
and at least four other isms. I just learned there's

27
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.000
something called Kunk on Shakespeare. I will have to find

28
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.560
that on YouTube somewhere. There's also Kunk on Britain or

29
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.280
something like that that's on YouTube that I've watched. Anyway,

30
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.439
I'm a big fan and I'm excited to see that

31
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.079
Kunk is coming back. SNL has announced two more hosts.

32
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.640
Now this week you get Paul Meskel from Gladiator two.

33
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.599
We already knew that December fourteenth, Chris Rock will host

34
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.840
for the fourth time. December twenty first, Martin Short not

35
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.920
bad there. Nate Berghatsey announced a world tour which was

36
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.239
just horrific. If you were trying to put together a

37
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.680
comedy podcast today, were you to use Google and type

38
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.159
in the word comedy or comedian. You were bombed by

39
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.920
every headline being Nate Pergetzi to play the whatever arena.

40
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.319
It was very hard to get rid of all the

41
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.039
Nate stuff today and find things to talk about. Geez,

42
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.879
Nate's pretty busy. He's got his Lorne Michael's produced a

43
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.039
CBS Christmas special on December nineteenth. Your friend Nate Bergetzy's

44
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.240
coming out on Netflix December twenty fourth. Did we know

45
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.879
that date there? I feel like that's news to me. Huh. Interesting.

46
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.560
He's also working on a film called The Breadwinner, and

47
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.080
he's got that book coming out next year. The tour

48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.240
is sixty six dates, including stops in North America, Europe,

49
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.400
in the Middle East. The tour opens in Oslo. Now

50
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.360
I'm gonna check here. I've got a little document here.

51
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.759
If I knew this, I would have placed it in

52
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.560
the December twenty fourth folder. No, I don't have it there.

53
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.039
Interesting is that news? I guess this has been out

54
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.039
there from October ninth, right. I'm forgetful sometimes anyway, your

55
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.120
friend Nate Bergetzi Christmas Eve. I got news for you, Nate,

56
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.520
that's not making the end of the year top whatever

57
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.560
specials of the year, because Jenny Max's pre taping that one.

58
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.800
At least I'm waiting to like December twentieth or so.

59
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.840
A lot of these lists come out like December first.

60
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.960
It's like, hey, guys, we're skipping a whole month here. Anyway,

61
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.479
I digress. Joe Rogan, he's making a lot of headlines lately.

62
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.479
He weighed in on this old Jamie Fox conspiracy thing.

63
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.680
Did Jamie Fox accuse Diddy of poisoning Jamie causing Jamie's

64
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.879
health scare? Jamie apparently says this in his Netflix special,

65
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.800
which is out next week. People at the taping think

66
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.039
Jamie was joking. Joe Rogan on his podcast said, Jamie

67
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.080
Fox just recently said, p did he poison him and

68
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.800
that's why he got that stroke? And Rogan back pedaled,

69
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.120
it's possible. It's totally possible, but it's also possible he

70
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.039
was explaining why he went to the hospital and hasn't

71
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.680
talked about it since. We won't know until we see

72
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.360
the actual Jamie Fox Netflix special. That's right, Joe Rogan. Now,

73
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.919
the rumors come from somebody on the internet named Big Homie.

74
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.199
Big Hoomy said, I know Comb's poisoned Jamie Fox, and

75
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.639
Jamie Fox reported him to the FBI because of it.

76
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.639
Jamie Fox reported this man to the FBI because of this.

77
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.560
Another source, videographer Choke No Joke, also made a similar claim.

78
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.120
During an interview on Comedy Hype, Choke No Joke said,

79
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.120
y'all can determine was he joking or not when you

80
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.199
see the show, because to me, I'm a new comedian, right,

81
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.039
I know when somebody's setting up a punchline and I

82
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.520
know when you're serious. My personal take, I would assume

83
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.439
mister Fox was joking. I mean, if you were going

84
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.839
to accuse Diddy of such things, would a comedy special

85
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.399
be the place where you would do this? Would you

86
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.519
not like come out and say it. So I think

87
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.759
everybody is getting a little carried away here, but we'll

88
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.240
find out. Next Tuesday, we got an update on Pete

89
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.480
Davidson and Colin Joe's ferry. TMZ revealed that the ferry

90
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.439
was used as a set for a horror flick called Screamboat.

91
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.959
According to their report, production reportedly involved so much fake

92
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.720
blood that producers needed to hire a special cleaning crew

93
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.639
to get the ferry back to normal. Now it's interesting

94
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.439
to me, and no coincidence that we're getting ferry updates,

95
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.079
because what do you know, Colin Jos has a new

96
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839
show out today. Wow, that's weird. Suddenly we hear about

97
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.480
the ferry and we're getting Colin Joe's press and what

98
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.079
do you know, He's got a new show out today.

99
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.079
He is the host of pop Culture Jeopardy out today

100
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.879
on Prime Video. The Ringer caught up with Colin Jost.

101
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.160
They asked, Colin, hey, you had your own game show

102
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.519
and the works before pop Culture Jeopardy, right, I didn't

103
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.439
know that. That's interesting. Joe said, yeah, Chay and I

104
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.360
are develpming a game show with Michael Davies. And that's

105
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.680
how I met him, not knowing at all his involvement

106
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.000
and millionaire and not knowing he was doing Jeopardy. Those

107
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.920
were my reference points. I wanted a game that had

108
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.199
great trivia and was a serious trivia game. I don't

109
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.920
ever want to do a game show that failed gimmicky

110
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.920
or two game based like physical games or anything. I

111
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.480
wanted to have an intellectual component because that's what I

112
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.000
loved about watching Jeopardy. You hear my voice falling apart now, right,

113
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.240
I'm trying, guys. I watch a bunch of old episodes

114
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.680
from different eras and just got a sense of the

115
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.000
flow of it. What I realized even before coming in

116
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.920
there is the game itself is really the star of

117
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.959
the show. It's constructed so well. You just want to

118
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.360
get out of the way. You don't interrupt gameplay too much,

119
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.600
and you want to get right into the game as

120
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.439
quickly as possible. And if you watch any regular episode

121
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.160
of Jeopardy through the years, that's what the host do

122
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.680
really well. The ringer asked if his sn L training

123
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.759
helped it all. He said, one thing they told me

124
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.560
is how they've had guest hosts that they've had some

125
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.560
that are just not good at cold reading. You're reading

126
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.879
sixty one clues in a game, and then suddenly you

127
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.800
have a lot of cold reading that you're just doing.

128
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.720
You see everything in advance, but you still never know

129
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.639
what order it's going to pop up in. So weirdly,

130
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.000
a thing that prepared me very well was the joke

131
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.079
swap that we do at SNL, because I'm also cold

132
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.879
reading that and it's live. I weirdly had confidence from

133
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.360
being forced to do that by Michael Jade gave me confidence.

134
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.160
If you don't want to read a clue, I was

135
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.240
at least not going to be in racial Jeopardy. You

136
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.160
talked about a quirk to the show. I found this interesting,

137
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.199
saying an answer to a question is the Pixie song

138
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.879
where is my Mind? If the answer itself is a question,

139
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.759
then you don't have to say what is where is

140
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.839
my mind? Interesting As a new host, you're so trained

141
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.920
by the Jeopardy rhythm, you want to say, no, what

142
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.040
is where is my mind? And that's not technically necessary.

143
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.920
I had no idea. He also says they wrote all

144
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.120
the clues not knowing who the host was going to be,

145
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.920
so it was weird. There were times when it was funny.

146
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.800
There'd be things about my colleagues and my friends that

147
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.639
came up and they'd be totally benign, which was just

148
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.240
funny to see them. Or clues about my wife, Scarlet Johansen.

149
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.839
At some point you're almost like, I think they shouldn't

150
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.959
have some clue involving my wife in every episode. It

151
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.480
was completely by chance. It turns out she's in a

152
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.639
lot of movies. Let me take a sip in my

153
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.480
ice coffee here to keep the voice going. One way

154
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.079
to sports show is you're gonna buy me a coffee.

155
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.160
Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. There a couple bucks

156
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.560
in the tip chaar. I will go to the National

157
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.079
Domes chain and get a large ice coffee. I'm back

158
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.040
on the butterper can, even though I know it causes

159
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.959
Gidney's dones, but I've been a little carameled out lately. Also,

160
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.199
it's trivia night, so I'll be at the brewery. I

161
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.040
can take your money and buy Glen half a beer.

162
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.160
I had a skip trivia last week because I wasn't

163
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.240
feeling well. I'm looking forward to returning there tonight. We've

164
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.439
been on a little stretch of finishing in second place.

165
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.920
Got to keep that going. We're never actually gonna win.

166
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.519
There's this one team that, let's see, how do I

167
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.759
put this? Jamie Fox joked in his special that they cheat.

168
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.519
There's no way this one team knows the answers every week.

169
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.079
There's just no way. So yeah, if you watch Jamie

170
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.680
Fox's special next week, he talks about this one team

171
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.519
that's a trivia every week and how they cheat. But

172
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.399
you know, I think he's kidding. Moving on, Jimmy Fallon

173
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.439
has a new special out today. It is Jimmy Fallon's

174
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.720
Holiday seasoning Spectacular on the show Let's See We Got JB. Smooth,

175
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.680
The Jonas Brothers, Timberlake Ll and Weird. Now it's on

176
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.959
NBC at ten o'clock. It'll be on Peacock tomorrow. Real

177
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.439
New Yorkers hate the Christmas tree lighting because it's a

178
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.600
traffic nightmare. On Gossip Corner, page six tells us, Tiffany

179
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.720
Hattish commemorated the one year anniversary for Duy by joking

180
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.800
about it. She was the Laugh Factory. She told the crowd,

181
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.439
I'm so happy to see all of y'all. I'm not

182
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.399
in jail tonight and I will not be tomorrow, I

183
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.240
promise you. But I mean, if you're gonna go to jail,

184
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.399
Beverly Hills is the place to be. There's nothing like

185
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.679
the Beverly Hills Police Station. It's nice. Okay. You may

186
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.080
recall last Thanksgiving, Tiffany performed the Laugh Factory just hours

187
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.279
before being arrested for the Duy. DUI is no joke,

188
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.000
but I do understand how comedy works. And it's a

189
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.159
year later and making a joke about it, I understand it.

190
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.080
Many things can be true at once. First, don't drive

191
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.399
under the influence. And two, when bad things happen in

192
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.519
your life, you can make com you can make jokes

193
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.279
about them. I get it. Late Night reacted to the

194
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.200
partning of Hunter Biden, John Stewart said, and I think

195
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.440
John Nail did here. Biden's an eighty two old man.

196
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.799
He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life

197
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.399
visiting his son in prison. Stewart continued, hypocrisy isn't illegal,

198
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.000
nor is it particularly unusual in politics. It's not like

199
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.600
he's ever gonna run again, so why not take airy kid?

200
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.159
Even if he said you weren't going to I respect it.

201
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.840
I don't have a problem with it. The problem is

202
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.799
the rest of the Democrats made Biden's pledge not pardon

203
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.720
Hunter the foundation of their defense of America. Jimmy Kimmel said,

204
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.600
Biden did say he wasn't going to pardon a Hunter,

205
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.320
but to be fair, there's a very good chance he

206
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.519
doesn't remember saying that. Kimill again, Now, I'm not a

207
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.039
presidential historian, but I believe this is the first time

208
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.279
a US president has pardoned both his son and a

209
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.200
turkey in the same week. Jimmy Fallon said Democrats are divided.

210
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.159
Some of them are upset while others are. Hunter Biden

211
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.000
and Jimmy Carr got involved with a controversy. He posted

212
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.320
I'm in Macedonia, the homeland of Alexander the Great, who,

213
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.360
fun fact, has the same middle name as Winnie the Pooh.

214
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.360
Think about it. That post led to heated comments. Gor

215
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.440
did not engage with them. Then when Carr got to Serbia,

216
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.399
he posted the same joke. It is unclear if he

217
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.759
wanted to and the controversy or he was trying to

218
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.840
address historical and accuracies. And that is your comedy news
