00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack and I missed you.
2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.880
I'm back from Dublin and I'm back live, back in
3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.440
the mix. I had actually pre taped today to give
4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:24.039
myself a break coming back off the trip. But I
5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:25.719
want to catch up with you guys. There's so much
6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.440
going on and I miss you and I do like
7
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.359
doing the show. So today I'll take a minute here
8
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.240
and kind of catch up on stuff I missed during
9
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.119
the week. It was keeping an eye on stuff. It
10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.880
was like, oh, it was pretty busy. Tonight. Tonight, Conan
11
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.439
O'Brien receives the Mark Twain Prize for Comedy. You talk
12
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.719
about that in a second. I have not yet seen
13
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.920
Bert Kreischer's special. I did watch Bill Burr right before
14
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.799
I hopped on the plane, not feeling it Bill. So
15
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.119
I was thinking about this. I haven't really liked any
16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.719
how many specials this year, and I was thinking about it,
17
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.479
and I'm like, all right, you just like cranky and
18
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.520
I'm not cranky. I think what's going on is that
19
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.959
everybody who's released so far this year is on like
20
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.799
their fifth or sixth special, So like, all right, yeah, Bill,
21
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.799
I know what you do and Gaba Glaciers. Yeah, I
22
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.920
know what you do, et cetera. And I think it's
23
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.079
that that comedy needs some new voices out there. I
24
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.040
think the big streamers are putting the same people in
25
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.599
front of us over and over and over again. You
26
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.879
know that's the algorithm, right, You put up a special
27
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.920
and people watch it. And I haven't seen Burt. Maybe
28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:26.560
it's the best special year. I haven't seen it yet.
29
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.120
But you put up Bill Burr and people watch it.
30
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.120
You put up whoever I'm not here to bash, and
31
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.959
you have people watch it. And I just think maybe
32
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.120
it's the comedy snob in me, or maybe doing this
33
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.079
every day or the fatigue, but I just feel like
34
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.159
we need some new here. I'm also getting the vibe
35
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.480
that the buzz on The Laney Show is pretty bad.
36
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.000
I haven't seen episode two yet, but I'm not seeing
37
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.280
glowing reviews that this is the greatest thing ever. That's
38
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.840
kind of surprising to me. So we'll get into all that,
39
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.359
but let's start with Conan O'Brien. He receives the Mark
40
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.959
Twain Prize for Comedy tonight. They're keeping under wraps who
41
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.439
the lineup is, so that should be pretty interesting. I'll
42
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.400
catch up on the on Tuesday's program. You know, I
43
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.599
don't have tickets, so I can't even stay up late
44
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.280
Sunday and tell you what happened. I'll have to have
45
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.560
others tell us what happened. I'll tell you about that
46
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.680
on Tuesday Show. This is the first major ceremony asked
47
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.159
at the Kennedy Center since Trump took control. The media
48
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.919
is curious whether or not anyone will take shots at
49
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.159
Trump at the event. We'll keep an eye on that.
50
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.400
That should be pretty interesting. Kapy McGarr, who co founded
51
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.879
the Twain Prize, calls it one of the cornerstones of
52
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.879
the Kennedy Center. Peter Marx from The Washington Post calls
53
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.199
it the Nobel Prize for comedy. Wow. The Mark Twain
54
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.759
Prize started nineteen ninety eight. Year winners Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters,
55
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.199
Carl Reiner. Whoopy Goldberg was the fourth in Wow. That's
56
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.560
just of all the people you could honor, Whoopy Goldberg fourth.
57
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.159
That seems way too early. No offense, Whoop bey, but
58
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.360
way too early. Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Lauren Michaels, Steve Martin,
59
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.039
Neil Simon, Billy Crystal, George Carlin not until two thousand
60
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.960
and eight, and it was posthumous two thousand and nine.
61
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:02.199
Bill Cosby rescinded in twenty eighteen, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell Ellen,
62
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.199
Carol Burnett, Jay leno, Eddie Murphy in twenty fifteen, Bill Murray,
63
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.439
David Letterman, Julia, Louis Dreyfuss, Dave Chappelle in twenty nineteen,
64
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.319
John Stewart in twenty twenty two. I guess we had
65
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.159
a COVID gap in there, Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart, and
66
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.520
now Conan O'Brien. Conan was not their first choice. Apparently
67
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.199
they wanted to award it to Catherine O'Hara, who originally accepted.
68
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.840
O'Hara then declined the awards. Some speculated that was because
69
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.400
of the presidential election results. Her manager, Mark Gerviritz told
70
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.000
The Washington Post it was nothing more than a scheduling issue.
71
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.240
She had to decline way before all the crazy Trump
72
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.680
stuff happened. They scrambled and then picked Conan just two
73
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.520
months before the ceremony and much later than usual. My
74
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.000
spidey sense is tingling. I hope everything is okay in
75
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.080
the O'Hara family. But if this thing is scheduled months out,
76
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:50.919
Like if you came to me today and said, hey,
77
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.719
you're gonna win the Comedy Podcast Award it's in August,
78
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.759
Like okay, I'll block out the date and I'm definitely
79
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.479
not gonna go. Yeah, and then be like, oh no,
80
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.680
I want to go on vacation week. I would just
81
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.960
move my vacation. I don't know. Maybe some of the
82
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.919
families getting married, or grandma's not feeling well. I get it.
83
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.680
There has been a lot of Conan press. He will
84
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.639
return to host the Academy Awards next year. That is good.
85
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.439
He also revealed an opening that got cut, saying the
86
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.759
Academy refused to let him put clothes on an oscar
87
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.240
to lay it down horizontally. On his podcast, Conan said
88
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.879
the Academy refused to let them put clothes on an oscar.
89
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.360
The bit would have been, we're fighting about things couples
90
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.480
fight about. At one point, I thought, wouldn't it be great
91
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.079
if it's just on the couch. Let's lay it on
92
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.720
a really big couch and I'll be vacuuming and say,
93
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.079
can you at least lift your feet or could at
94
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.319
least get up and help load the dishwasher. I want
95
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.639
to do it, and they said no, no, no, that
96
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.399
can't happen. One of the people from the academy came
97
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.079
forward and said, Oscar can never be horizontal, and that
98
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.240
blew my mind, like wow, this is like the thigh
99
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.160
bone of Saint Peter. This is a religious icon. Conan
100
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.639
wanted to put an apron on the statue to depict
101
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.439
it as a housewife serving Conan O'Brien some leftovers. The
102
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.519
academy said, no clothing on Oscar. Oscar is always naked.
103
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.439
There was also a plan for an opening to the Oscars.
104
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.639
The bit would have been Conan's gonna goof on all
105
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.399
the movies. It starts with Me and Wicked and I'm
106
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.360
all green, finishing defying gravity or one of those songs,
107
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.480
and I finish it, and then you cut to the
108
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.600
next thing, which is gladiatdord claning, clang with swords, and
109
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.319
you see that I'm a gladiator, but then you notice
110
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.279
I'm still green. And then you go to conclave and
111
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.959
you see people voting with their ballots and one of
112
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.560
the hands is still green. Conan said the whole thing
113
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.560
was that the dye wouldn't come off and we had
114
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.160
to shoot it in one day. Conan was also at
115
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.439
south By Southwest talking video games with Blizzard Entertainment. Conan
116
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.399
was interested how entertainment companies now treat video games seriously.
117
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.199
Conan said, what I found fascinating to me is that
118
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.920
when I started in show business a long time ago,
119
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.040
I was trying to get as many people as possible
120
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.680
in a superficial way. Now it's about me trying to
121
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.639
get to fifty million people with people who are really
122
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.800
paying attention to what I'm doing. It's less horizontal and vertical.
123
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.240
Conan talked about visiting South Korea. They're screaming kids, and
124
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:47.920
it was because we found out later on a lot
125
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.759
of it was through the gaming videos. You think, more
126
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.800
than ever, we need this connectivity. There's a way that
127
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.759
people connect through video games. There's something that's special and unique.
128
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:56.920
He added, I want to be in the next Diablo.
129
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.079
I want to be a demon or necromancer. My wife
130
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.160
when we met, thought I was a necromancer. If I'm
131
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.240
in Diablo, people get to decide if I live or die.
132
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.800
Very quickly, the boss of Blizzards said, we'll get the
133
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.759
writers on this all right. Vulture had a big piece
134
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.560
backstage with John Mullaney, and apparently Netflix agreed with me
135
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.519
that the guest list for week one was a little light.
136
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319
Malaney talked about the mix of weird guests and said,
137
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.560
I can protect myself by acting like we just think
138
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.439
it's weird, and that way you can't criticize it in
139
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.000
the same way whether something's good or people like. It
140
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.439
is so ephemeral, they could possibly predict it with data
141
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.680
that have more hits. I don't mean Netflix, I mean everybody.
142
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.839
In the profile, we learned that Mullani is contemplating a
143
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.399
stage version of his twenty nineteen documentary Now episode original
144
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.959
cast album co Op. Can you hear the dog barking?
145
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.399
I gotta keep recording today, dog, I got stuff to do.
146
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.480
It just got back from Dublin. You should know that
147
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.240
Millenne's going to tour again in August. He says he
148
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.639
enjoys doing everybody's live, but we're not looking to stay
149
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.680
on for thirty years. Mulani starts talking to the writers
150
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.319
in this profile and said, we just had the funniest
151
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.560
call with Netflix. Apparently, when Netflix learned the premier's guests
152
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.480
would include Fred Armison and Joan Baiez, they were worried
153
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.120
that the show hadn't booked talent that would make the
154
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.519
premiere buzzy and exciting. Mulaney describes an unnamed executive saying,
155
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.000
this is not the show we sold. It was great
156
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.279
to see someone kind of apoplectic, like, oh, honey, do
157
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:12.480
you know what you bought? And then they go, we
158
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.600
don't even understand what this rundown means. I'm like, yeah,
159
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.279
you think you'll feel better when I explain telescope murder.
160
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.600
If I walk you through that it's a body double parody.
161
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.800
We feel better about the spend. Writer Langston Kerman asked
162
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.160
what name would actually be big enough. M'laney said, no,
163
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.680
one knows. He has a hard time imagining a potential
164
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.759
view who has no interest in a millenniy show then
165
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.240
changes their mind after they hear like someone's got Tom
166
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.439
Hardy to be a guest. Watch you a book, Taylor Swift,
167
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.680
and watch what happens. That's the thing about the show.
168
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.839
It's not like, oh, this is awesome. It's great, but
169
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.160
it's not good. The Week two guess where Nick Krol,
170
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.600
Ben Stiller and Quinta Brunson, Like I said, I haven't
171
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.319
watched it Yet Splinter wrote to a review saying they
172
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.439
think the show is more of a nice to have
173
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.680
than I gotta have for John Mulaney at this point
174
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.839
in his career, They write, Mullaney has intentionally or not
175
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.000
given us a bit of unique counterprogramming and an indirect
176
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.759
mind slash heart slash soulsaver. They then discuss a famous
177
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.360
political figure who takes up a lot of media attention
178
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.519
and then tag Mullaney might spare your sanity with one
179
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.560
hour of meandering conversation about ghost helicopters and aquatic luxury living.
180
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.720
For that reason, it's hitting in the right way at
181
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.240
the right time. Right, I have to catch up on
182
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.680
that one story that I really wish I had been
183
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.759
around for on Gossip Corner, Tracy Morgan throwing up at
184
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.600
the Knicks game. How much fun as we get back
185
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.040
into live shows here, you know what I mean? Here?
186
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.240
On Daily Comedy News, TMZ Sports has learned that Tracy
187
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.639
Morgan is planning to go to another Knicks game as
188
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.320
soon as he can. Is he busy? I mean, the
189
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.000
next play like three times a week doesn't seem that hard.
190
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.679
In case you missed it, In case you were out
191
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.240
drinking in Dublin every Night. Tracy Morgan was hospitalized on
192
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.799
Monday after a bad bout with food poisoning caused him
193
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.360
to throw up all over the MSG floor during a
194
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.399
Knicks game against the Miami Heat. The Garden has made
195
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.879
it clear they'll welcome him back with open arms whenever
196
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.600
he's ready. Fifty Cent gave him the business and posted
197
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.759
a graphic photo and commented, Damn Tracy, wtf going on?
198
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.000
Bro too much Branson koonyak lol. Tracy, in a statement
199
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.919
on Instagram said, thank you for all your concern. I'm
200
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.200
doing okay now and doctor say it was food poisoning.
201
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.360
Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me.
202
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:18.799
And I need to shout out the crew that had
203
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.399
to clean that up. Appreciate you more importantly, the Knicks
204
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.720
are now one to oh when I throw up on
205
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.240
the court, so maybe I'll have to break it out
206
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.799
again in the playoffs. Nicks one sixteen Miami ninety five.
207
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.799
Bill Burr was on the View on Thursday. Can you
208
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.600
think of anything less cool for Bill Burr to do?
209
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.639
Why is Bill Burr going on the view? Our view
210
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.159
viewer is going to be like, Oh, I really like
211
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.120
this Bill Burr personally, He says, what is that booking?
212
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.519
Why did you do that? Bill? I'm trying to do synergy.
213
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.919
No Hulu, Yeah, Hulu is Disney is ABC. That's what
214
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.960
that's about. Okay. In the industry, we call that a
215
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.879
car wash tour where you go on everything owned by
216
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.399
your corporate overlord. So that's what that is. That's Hulu
217
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.000
ABC making him do the View. It's just a stupid
218
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.120
booking for Bill that it's just dumb. He doesn't belong there,
219
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.360
seems missus. Bill Burr agrees with me. He told the
220
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.120
cast of the View, my wife's freaking out that's coming
221
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.639
on the show. She's like, who the hell booked you
222
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.200
on that show? You say all this dumb stuff about women,
223
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.120
don't go on that show. Joy bay Are asked Bill Burr,
224
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.440
is there anybody getting your eye up these days? More
225
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.159
than usual? But replied, the nerds. The nerds are on
226
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.039
the politicians, all these tech nerds that want to build
227
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.879
robots because they don't know how to talk to hot women.
228
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.559
They're gonna take over the world. They're literally gonna replace us.
229
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.080
We're like Beta right now, and they're coming out with
230
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.240
the VCR, and I think Elon's got the rockets going
231
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.200
because they realize it's other art's out there and they're
232
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.399
gonna trash this one, so they don't have any concern
233
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.120
for it, and they're gonna move on that next the Earth,
234
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.759
and you know everybody's gonna be standing down here with
235
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.919
their blue and red ties going, wait a minute, I
236
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.679
was on your side, and they're just ready to leave.
237
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.120
Sounds like Bill was trying out a new chunk on
238
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.759
Troy Bahar. Bill was also on The Tonight Show telling
239
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.559
Jimmy Fallon billionaires are not happy having a billion dollars.
240
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.399
Why does Elon musk dressed like he just got out
241
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.440
of a hot topic. I'm so sick of that guy
242
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.360
trying to rewrite his origin story like he was Matthew McConaughey.
243
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:02.240
Pulling into the High School Times profile Bert Krascher as
