00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.480
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.960
daily comedy news, daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.879
and the comedy industry. That's exactly the kind of phrase
4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.440
someone trying to train the Spotify transcription algorithm would say. Now,
5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.719
despite how I wrapped yesterday's episode, there actually is news today.
6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.359
I woke up and I was like, oh, there's plenty
7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.600
to talk about. We'll start on a down note to
8
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.640
the Rob Reiner situation, which I've been trying to only
9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.560
talk about through the lens of comedy. This is a
10
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.200
story that is comedy adjacent and attention once again on
11
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.159
Conan O'Brien's holiday party, page six and some of the
12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.719
British tabloids reporting that one of the A listers in
13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.200
attendance at Rob Reiner's memorial service on Monday left people
14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.280
in tears. They revealed the final words that Rob allegedly
15
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.359
spoke at the party. According to The Daily Mail, all
16
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.079
Reiner said, I'm petrified of Nick. I can't believe I'm
17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:04.799
going to say this, but I'm afraid of my son.
18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.439
I think my own son can hurt me. It is
19
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.280
unclear what celebrity said that Multiple reports say Nick was
20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.040
acting erratically with guests at the party. One insider told
21
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.640
people Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy and kept
22
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.640
asking people if they were famous. Another source told US
23
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.159
Weekly that Nick behaved creepily at the party, switching gears.
24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.120
You live by the press, you die by the press,
25
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.640
Amy Schumer, and anytime I talk about Amy, I'm like
26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.439
she likes us to look at her, and now everyone's
27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.359
looking at you, Amy from the list. Many people believe
28
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.319
there were signs that Amy Schumer's marriage was headed for
29
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.359
divorce all along, but that isn't making it any easier
30
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.120
on her soon to be ex Chris Fisher. A source
31
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.120
told The Daily Mail, Chris is lost right now, but
32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.040
is comforted by the fact that Amy will always be
33
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.959
in his life because of their six year old son, Jean.
34
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.159
He said that it's come to this. Being her friend
35
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.280
and co parenting is great, but being in love and
36
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.840
with her in marriage was better. Of course, everyone eventually
37
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.079
moves on from heartache, and Chris will too, but it's
38
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.799
going to take him some time and Amy is such
39
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.200
an important part of his life. If a source told
40
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.920
Page six, Schumer expects that they'll co parent full time
41
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.079
together and that Fisher will see Gene almost as much
42
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.680
as he does now, if not more. They're still largely
43
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.919
under the same roof for the kid's sake. According to
44
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.560
the source, it's important for Amy Schumer that Fisher's still
45
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.319
there for Gene and even hopes that all three of
46
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.199
them could travel together if she goes on tour. But
47
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.759
the insider says she just never wants to be romantically
48
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.840
involved with him again, So so weird. Another insider in
49
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.960
The Daily Mail said they didn't try to fix their marriage.
50
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.120
They didn't put focus on their relationship. It was all
51
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.800
about themselves and their kid, but never about them and
52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.680
never about trying to get back to where they first
53
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.400
found love. Now it's too late. Congratulations to Pete Davidson
54
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.439
and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. They welcomed a baby girl, Scottie
55
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.400
Rose Hewitt. Davidson was born on December twelfth. Hewitt shared
56
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.240
several images of the family on social media, the caption
57
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.360
or perfect Angel Girl arrived twelve twelve, twenty twenty five,
58
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.080
My best work yet and I'm absolutely overflowing with love
59
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.400
and gratitude and disbelief. It is believed that scott Rose
60
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.120
Hewett Davidson is named after Pete Davidson's father, Scott Davidson.
61
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.520
Scott Davidson was a New York City firefighter killed on
62
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919
September eleventh, two thousand and one. His son, Pete Davidson.
63
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.719
Earlier this year played the Rion Comedy Festival. So there
64
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.599
you are. It's Friday afternoon. You've recorded the entire weekend
65
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.639
plus Monday. You're gonna go play some video games. And
66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.520
you pick up your phone and you see Bowen Yang
67
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:25.639
is leaving SNL immediately. Tonight is his last episode. Yang
68
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.240
joined SNL as a writer in twenty eighteen. He joined
69
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.199
the cast as a featured player the next year, became
70
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.479
part of the main group for season forty seven. He
71
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.719
was a part after tonight's episode, the episode being hosted
72
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.360
by his Wicked At co star Ariana Grande. Bowen has
73
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.879
some other things on the works, Tangles, a story about
74
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.319
Alzheimer's My Mother and Me. He has a voice acting
75
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.560
role in a new Cat and a Hat, and of course,
76
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.360
hosts the popular Lost culturista's podcast, The Holiday. Porter says
77
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.759
it's unusual for a cast member to exit mid season,
78
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.240
but not without precedent. Cecily Strong did it, so did
79
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.479
Molly Shannon, Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, and Janine Garoffalo. So
80
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.199
much for not having any news. On a Saturday, Tom
81
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.919
Cruise unveiled the first teaser for a comedy Digger, will
82
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.319
be in theaters in October. Little is known about the movie.
83
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.000
We see Tom Cruise dancing with a shovel in his
84
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.400
hands and standing on top of a fence on what
85
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.120
appears to be an ocean side boardwalk. On Instagram. Tom
86
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.079
Cruise captioned it in Digger, We Trust Digger, a comedy
87
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.399
of catastrophic proportions, only in theaters October twenty twenty six.
88
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.040
Warner Brothers on Twitter wrote that Cruz plays a man
89
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.519
named Digger Rockwell in the movie. Earlier this year, the
90
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.959
director till the Hollywood Reporter It's scary and funny and beautiful.
91
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.680
Nate Brigetzi has a movie coming out, The bread Winner,
92
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.759
that'll be out March thirteenth. I shared the trailer in
93
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.920
the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.
94
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.040
As I wrote in my post, yikes, maybe Adam Saylor
95
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.720
is good at comedy movies because Nate Brigetzy isn't. This
96
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.639
trailer looks really bad, Dylan commented, maybe he wants to
97
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.399
get his Jack and Jill out of the way early.
98
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.360
I did start to pull the audio, and it's not
99
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.240
worth your time. Nate and Mandy Moore leave the film
100
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.839
as a married cup whose lives get turned outside down
101
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.720
after super Mom Katie lands a once in a lifetime
102
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.480
deal following an appearance on Shark Tank. The catch it
103
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.040
requires her to set out on an extended business trip
104
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.279
and leave her husband in charge. That's right, the wacky
105
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.920
husband who doesn't know how to cook, or do laundry
106
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.879
or even locks himself out of the house. Shuckle, what
107
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.199
is this? Nineteen eighty two, Nate Pergetzi assumes the role
108
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.160
of a stay at home dad for the very first
109
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.639
time the official log line. With three young daughters and
110
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.920
little experience handling their day to day needs, Nate finds
111
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.160
out quickly that running the household is the toughest gig
112
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.800
he's ever had. I guess, Sandler said no, I guess.
113
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.959
Kevin James said no. Don't forget. Nate's gonna open a
114
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.079
theme park, so you'll go on the Breadwinner roller coaster
115
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.079
in about ten years. In the trailer, we see the
116
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.360
Nate's character a former car salesman, tripping over laundry struggling
117
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.439
to cook eggs. He locks the family out of the
118
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.439
house and he gets lost on the way to school
119
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.439
drop off. Oh man, they worked really hard on that script,
120
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.360
and Nate character says, she makes it look so easy,
121
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.040
but it's so hard. Wow. Wow, we're in Jack and
122
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.920
Jill territory. I guess I have an early pick for
123
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.839
next week's comedy stock Market. Jimmy Kimmel did his final
124
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.040
show of twenty twenty five on Thursday. He said, this
125
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.800
has been a strange year. It's been a hard year.
126
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.959
We've had some lows, We've had some highs. For me,
127
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.959
maybe more than any year of my life. On behalf
128
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.360
of all of us at the show, I just want
129
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.920
to say that we appreciate your support, your enthusiasm, and
130
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.240
not just for watching this year. You literally pulled us
131
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.360
out of a hole, and we cannot thank you enough.
132
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.920
See that's not true. None of us literally pulled the
133
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.800
Jimmy Kimmel Show out of a hole. It was a
134
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.680
figurative hole. Otherwise, I guess Jimmy Kimmel, the staff would
135
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.199
have been, you know, we would have been at ground
136
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.720
level and somebody would have used a shovel and dug something,
137
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.519
and we would have been looking down at Jimmy Kimmel,
138
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:49.959
who would have been looking up at us and going,
139
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.279
help me. I am stuck in a hole, and then
140
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.519
we literally could have helped him out of a hole,
141
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.079
regardless of semantics. Jimmy Kimmel thanks us and says, I
142
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.279
know there are a lot of harder jobs, but this
143
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.759
is not an easy job to do. And sometimes it
144
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.759
feels like we're spinning our wheels. You see so many
145
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.600
awful and destructive acts, all this damage we inflict on
146
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.800
ourselves on purpose, and it can make you feel crazy
147
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.480
trying to wrap your head around these things that are
148
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.680
so clearly wrong. Not a bad show. Considering what I
149
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.879
went to bed last night, I thought I had nothing
150
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.360
for today. I'm in a good mood. My daughter, who knows,
151
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.480
she's back from college, and she stopped off at the
152
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.240
new coffee house in town and she got me a
153
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.480
pistachio cold brew. It is delicious, and I was like,
154
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.199
how much was that? And she's like six fifty and
155
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.399
I went, oh my, So even if I nag you
156
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.399
guys to go to buy me coffee dot Com slash
157
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.199
Daily Comedy News and throw money in the tip jar.
158
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.040
They suggested amount is five bucks. That won't even cover
159
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.720
one of these pistachio ice brews, but it is delicious.
160
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.040
I need your help crowdsourcing for Tuesday's episode. One of
161
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.600
the segments will be Comedy Festive Us. Much like the
162
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.639
Seinfeld episode. I will take part in the airing of
163
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.560
the grievances. Please remind me what I'm forgetting to be
164
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.199
grieved about. I've got riad comedy Festival on there. Don't
165
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.040
worry Daily Comedy News podcast Facebook group. Please feel encouraged
166
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.000
to join the group. You'll get asked a couple questions
167
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.120
about Bob's Burgers, what about what you Seek? The what
168
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.560
you Seek one trips up a lot of the robots
169
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.000
no porn bots in the Daily Comedy News podcast group.
170
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.240
In The New York Times friend of the show, Jason
171
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.279
Zinnemann asked what does the potential sale of Warner Brothers
172
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.439
Discovery mean for stand up comedy. Jason points out HBO
173
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.120
has one of the great comedy legacies in pop culture,
174
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.800
helping launch the modern stand up special half a century
175
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.639
ago with an evening with Robert Klein. Jason adds to
176
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.600
be sure, the landscape is more crowded today and the
177
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.080
HBO special does not dominate the field as it once did,
178
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.559
but it has carved out a niche as an alternative
179
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.440
to the megastore aesthetic of Netflix, providing a home for artier,
180
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.120
more high concept work by comedians like Gerard Carmichael or
181
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.440
Hannah Einbinder. He points out the Sarah Sherman and Adam
182
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.679
Halley specials as things that could be lost if things
183
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.759
get netflixed a little. I've talked about on this program,
184
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.879
and I've talked about it with Jason, that the whole
185
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.960
HBO Max Max, HBO HBO Max Max, HBO Max Max
186
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.039
HBO confusion. They've really goofed up the brand US. Old
187
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.480
people used to understand, Oh, it's HBO, it's Saturday night,
188
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.279
it's ten pm. There's a comedy special. This is major.
189
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.320
An example of that this year was Mark Marin was
190
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.879
Saturday Night at ten pm. Then some things are Max
191
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.559
shows and some things are Max specials. So top of mine,
192
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.120
Sarah Sherman's recent thing came out on a Friday. Is
193
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.600
that a quote unquote HBO special or is that an
194
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.559
HBO Max special? And is an HBO Max special somehow
195
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.279
lesser or to only old people who study the media
196
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.639
like me care about such things. Probably the latter, But
197
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.639
there really is something to be said for brand. When
198
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.240
you put Game of Thrones next to Doctor Pimple Popper,
199
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.759
you goof up your brand. Right now, Apple TV Plus
200
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.200
is being seen as prestige. Maybe you don't like all
201
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.039
the shows, but they're getting by on goodwill because oh,
202
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.720
all right, app the Apple shows are pretty good. I
203
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.399
should check this out the way HBO Sunday Night used
204
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.519
to be with everything they put in that nine to
205
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.039
eleven PM block, and they've kind of messed up the
206
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.480
brand a little bit. What a Netflix owned HBO would
207
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.480
mean for comedy who knows, But no matter what it is,
208
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.480
it'll probably be better than Hularius. And that is your
209
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:14.240
comedy news for today Tomorrow, Daily Comedy News Unwrapped. Johnny Mack,
210
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.840
did you need to come up with an idea to
211
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.360
burn off a weekend show a couple of days before? Chriss?
212
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.600
How dare you? How dare you suggest that? See you
213
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.000
tomorrow
