00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.080
Callaroga Shark Media should Stephen Colbert run for president. I've
2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.960
suggested that before High I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy,
3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.039
and he was a daily briefing on stand up comedy,
4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.519
comedians and the comedy industry, which is a phrase you
5
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.679
would say, and it might take your Spotify numbers from
6
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.519
eleven percent to fourteen percent. But I don't have time
7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.719
for that right now. Stephen Colbert was at slat's political
8
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.760
gamb Fest. He was asked if he would run for
9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.119
president in twenty twenty eight. Colbert replied absolutely. I should
10
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.240
not run for president, and I understand why you want
11
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.240
me to. I have to discuss with my faith leader
12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:39.960
and my family to see if once in my service
13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.719
on the Late Show ens in May, I could be
14
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.640
of some greater service to this nation that I love
15
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.280
so much. But it sounds like he's not gonna run,
16
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.840
which is a shame. I think he would be a
17
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.280
good candidate. Here's why. He speaks well, he can debate well,
18
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.679
and he looks nice. Those are three important things. And
19
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.119
he seems calm. We could use a little calm right now.
20
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.920
On crack dot Com, Keegan Kelley writes Dave Chappelle and
21
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.879
the Saudi Royal Family deserve each other. In response to
22
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.480
some of mister Chappelle's jokes keating, Kelly writes, in Saudi Arabia,
23
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.280
trans people can be beaten in prison, tortured, and murdered
24
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.280
for their identities. Homosexuality is illegal in the country, as
25
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.000
his gender reassignment surgery addressing in ways that don't reflect
26
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
one's assigned sex at birth. Critics of the Riad Comedy
27
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.680
Festival know that in order to secure his no doubt
28
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.159
exorbitant appearance fee at the Read Comedy Festival, Chappelle had
29
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.120
assign a censorship contract guaranteeing that he would not joke
30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.959
about Saudi Arabian culture, religion, or politics, and he would
31
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.079
not utter a single word about the Saudi Royal family.
32
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.760
But ultimately Chappelle doesn't care about any of that because
33
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.359
none of it prohibits him from performing comedy his way. Plus,
34
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.640
as an obscenely wealthy and decorated artist who considers criticism
35
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.359
of his comedy to be a civil rights issue, Chappelle
36
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.079
clearly empathizes with the Saudi Royal family's draconian treatment of dissent.
37
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.719
Kelly suggests Dave Chappelle should switch to a Saudi Arabian
38
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.400
streaming service for his next nine figure distribution deal. Johnny
39
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.680
mcdin' realize his voice is a little thin today until
40
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.120
he got behind the microphone. Shane Gillis is set to
41
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.439
make his BKFC debut in twenty twenty six. Now you're
42
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.759
like Johnny Mack, what's BKFC. Is that like a Chicken
43
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.479
place in Brooklyn? No, BKFC is bear knuckle Boxing. Shane
44
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.159
Gillis is attending Knucklemania six and we'll walk out heavyweight
45
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.840
Patrick Brady at the event on February seventh in Philadelphia.
46
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.840
Shane Gillis gave in after Brady posted a series of
47
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.280
comedic videos requesting Shane Gillis join his corner to convince
48
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.879
Shane Gillis to walk him out. Brady posted multiple videos
49
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.879
of himself taking body shots from other professional fighters until
50
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.639
Shane gave in. Gillis commented, I'm in after watching one
51
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.840
of the videos of Brady getting punched in the stomach.
52
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.759
Amy Schumer in the news again. Various reports, including one
53
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.360
of the Daily Mail, quoting all sorts of insiders. One
54
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.639
insider alleges that Amy Schumer realized she couldn't have it
55
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.319
all at once. It was challenging juggling her marriage with
56
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.639
the pressures of show business. Her career slowed down after
57
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.639
becoming a mom, and she didn't prioritize her professional goals
58
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.560
with the same zeal she once did. The Insider says
59
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.599
that Amy's confidence skyrocketed with her weight loss, and she
60
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.280
ultimately chose to focus on her career. The Blast said
61
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.479
Schumer not only obtained a toned physique, but gained a
62
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.639
more chiseled face. The Blast spoke to some beauty experts.
63
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.840
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Doctor Kahn offered his professional opinion.
64
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.360
According to doctor Kahn, he agrees that Amy is using
65
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.280
filters to achieve her flawless appearance. He believes she either
66
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.000
got botox or is editing her instagrams. Ricky Gervais was
67
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.800
on the jack Mates Happy Hour podcast and doesn't think
68
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.319
he'll do another TV show. Dervease said, I don't know.
69
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.120
I'm really loving stand up at the moment when I
70
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.080
first started, I thought on myself as a writer, director
71
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.759
and actor, and stuff had written and directed, and you
72
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.759
do the odd film project. And then I tried stand
73
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.199
up and I did stand up tours between series. In
74
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.280
the last few years, maybe the last six seven, eight years,
75
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.520
it switched around. I feel that stand up is my job.
76
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.719
I feel that I've always got to be doing stand up.
77
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.759
And I finished a project, I think of doing something
78
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.080
else that it'll take three years. Ali Katz will be
79
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.159
I think three or four years after Afterlife ended. But
80
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.080
I've just finished the tour and I've put a new
81
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.360
material Nights in January. So once I finished that, I
82
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.039
put that on Netflix and I'm starting again. I feel
83
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:13.960
now that I'm a touring Netflix stand up and I
84
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.600
wonder what I'll do in the daytime. Ricky talked about
85
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.399
getting older, saying, if I do three gigs in a
86
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.160
row now at my age, I wake up and I think,
87
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.319
was I run over last night? I got to do
88
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.240
another gig tonight. It gets sort of harder. And I
89
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.000
don't know if there's an adrenaline dump that I don't
90
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.439
notice at the time, or it might just be that
91
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.879
I'm sixty four. When I was a kid, the thought
92
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.720
of being sixty four was do you live that long?
93
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.480
I know it's different now. I mean, I should be
94
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.279
retiring anyway soon, and I don't think about retiring, but
95
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.680
I just think it takes a little bit more. Also,
96
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.240
it's for the ten thousand pounds for the chickens. I
97
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.759
think I don't need to do it. I don't need
98
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.680
to have ten thousand dollars to have a chicken. So
99
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.680
something's got to be amazing for me to do it.
100
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.360
Ricky has donated two and a half million pounds to
101
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.480
animal charities from the proceeds of the Mortality World Tour.
102
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.959
Ricky announced on Twitter to celebrate my Mortality Tour, my
103
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.879
Netflix special, my Golden Globes nomination, and the Spirit of Christmas,
104
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.319
donating two point four to three million two animals. These
105
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.839
are the lovely charities have chosen Merry Christmas critters. The
106
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.120
list includes the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, the International
107
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.079
Animal Rescue, the Celia Hemmond Animal Trust, and Animals Asia.
108
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.759
They'll all receive one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Now Zad,
109
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.199
which provides animal welfare services in Afghanistan and Ukraine, will
110
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.800
be given one hundred and thirty two thousand pounds, and
111
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.360
there were seventeen other charities which will all receive one
112
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:36.000
hundred thousand pounds Rickysrvased Mortality is on Netflix December thirtieth Tomorrow.
113
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.720
On this program, we've got a couple list articles for you.
114
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.680
Then on Sunday and Monday, I will take a look
115
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.759
at remember that list of the top comedians of the
116
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.160
twenty first century. I have some thoughts. Those will be
117
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.519
Sunday and Monday's episodes, and then on Tuesday we'll jump
118
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.279
back in with a normal episode. If you're listening on Spotify,
119
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.600
follow daily Comedy News so it shows up in your
120
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.519
feet every morning. I hear that's the kind of thing
121
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.399
that'll jump your Spotify numbers from eleven to fourteen percent
122
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:00.879
in a hurry. Oh, we don't have time for that
123
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.480
right now, because it is time before the comedy stock
124
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:15.079
market hit it. Burt Reynolds Comedy stock Market. Yes, it
125
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.920
is the final comedy stock market of twenty twenty five.
126
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.959
And a reminder, this is not saying somebody's good or bad.
127
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.360
It is finding the value so we can make some
128
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.920
money on our comedy stocks. My cell recommendation, let's sell
129
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.120
Bowen Yang. I know everybody's fawning over Bowen Yang and
130
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.759
bon Voyage and he's great and all that, and that's
131
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.240
when you sell, you get out now. As I said
132
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.879
earlier in the week, I'm not sure what Bowen Yang's
133
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.439
future is. My comparison is Kate McKinnon. Yeah, he's great
134
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.240
on SNL, but are you going to see a bone
135
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.519
Yang movie? Do you want a Boon Yang sitcom? I'm
136
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.079
not sure you do. Let's sell. Kamil nan Gianni was
137
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.240
this special funny sure, but he's not gonna stick with this.
138
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.480
He wants to be an actor. Everything about him tells
139
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.759
he wants to be an actor. So, yeah, he popped
140
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.120
into the comedy stage for a day and he's he's
141
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.279
gone again. So he's overvalued. Let's sell. And remember this
142
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:07.680
is all about value. Also overvalued right now is Jimmy Kimmel. Sure,
143
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.600
everybody loves Jimmy Kimmel right now, but remember this is
144
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.839
about value. Let's get out on Jimmy Kimmel. Let's buy
145
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.480
some Stephen Colbert because he said he wasn't gonna run
146
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.279
for president, but he didn't totally say no way I
147
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.079
would run for president. And maybe he was just floating
148
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.759
as an idea. So let's scoop up a little Colbert
149
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.920
because he had never know what happens and let's sell
150
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.600
some Dave Chappelle. I've never seen a special flame out
151
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.160
like that. That went from like, oh my god, Dave
152
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.040
spell is a special to two days later nobody was
153
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.240
even talking about it. Was it good? Sure? But Chappelle
154
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.720
might be overvalued these days. So we're gonna sell Bow
155
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.639
and Yang. We're gonna sell come out on Geohnny. We're
156
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.560
gonna sell some Kimmel, but I can see us buying
157
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.959
back in. We're gonna buy Colbert, and we're gonna sell
158
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.399
Dave Chappelle. I feel bad that that's kind of a
159
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.720
negative comedy stock market, but we're here to make money
160
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.240
off these things, and that's where the value is. James
161
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.759
Cameron not too happy with Amy Poehler. Back in twenty
162
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.399
three ten, Amy Poehler was hosting the Golden Globeskathern Bigelow
163
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.120
was the Best Director nominee thanks to Zero Dark thirty.
164
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.000
Amy Poehler joked, when it comes to torture, I trust
165
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.240
the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.
166
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.759
Cameron is not happy with that, he told The New
167
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.759
York Times. Amy Poehler's remark was an ignorant dig at
168
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.240
an event that's supposed to be a celebration of cinema
169
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.319
and filmmakers. I'm bretty, thick skinned and happy to be
170
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.360
the butt of a good natured joke. But that went
171
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.000
too far. The fact that people found it funny shows
172
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.079
exactly what they think of me, even though they have
173
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.360
no idea who I am or how I work. Now,
174
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.360
look note Tinniggy Glazer, who's hosting the Golden Globes this year.
175
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.840
You have to be very, very careful because you know,
176
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.519
some people say they're willing to be the butt of
177
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.679
a good natured joke, and then some people will just
178
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.759
stoneface you and practically wreck your career, like, for example,
179
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.399
one time Joe Coy told it is a horrible, just
180
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.399
awful joke about Taylor Swift. Here, let's listen, a big
181
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.559
difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the
182
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.000
Golden Globes, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor Swift.
183
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.200
Vin Spacey is back, baby. You may recall Kevin Spacey
184
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.080
was the star of House of Cards. Now if you
185
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.720
put on Netflix, they act like Kevin Spacey's not even
186
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.960
in any of the episodes. There's always somebody else on
187
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.039
the title card Kevin Spacey never heard of them Well.
188
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.120
Kevin Spacey is now staring in the Italian comedy series
189
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:21.080
Mini Market for Italy's state broadcaster RAI. We're told it's
190
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.879
a low budget show at which the two time Oscar
191
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:28.440
winner Kevin Spacey plays Kevin Spacey, the imaginary mentor of
192
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.720
a young man who works at a Rome convenience store
193
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.080
and dreams of becoming a TV star like Kevin Spacey.
194
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.879
In a promo, Kevin Spacey sings Randy Newman's You've Got
195
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.320
a Friend in Me and Frank Sinatras I've Got you
196
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.799
under my Skin. I know you want to watch this.
197
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:47.159
What's Mini Market about? Well? Kevin Spacey plays Manilo's artistic
198
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.960
conscience and unpredictable mentor. Their relationship is grounded in bickering,
199
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.360
misunderstandings and mutual teasing. The show captures both the experience
200
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.399
of a man who's been on the world's most important
201
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.440
movie in TV sets and recklessness of someone who does
202
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.919
not realize that they have an Oscar winner by their side.
203
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.399
Mini Market is ten episodes. It's out today on the
204
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.720
RII Play streaming service, and bad news for the paper
205
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.000
you know the office sort of spin off. Well, they've
206
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.279
been airing it on NBC and apparently isn't doing too
207
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.519
well because NBC originally was going to run it through
208
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.440
January twenty six and now they're like, yeah, we're just
209
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.000
gonna run three episodes on January third, which is a Saturday,
210
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.200
which screams they want out of the paper business. I
211
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.279
believe it was renewed for Peacock, but apparently not doing
212
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.320
well on over the air television. And that is your
213
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.559
comedy news for today. Again. Tomorrow, I've got some lists
214
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.320
for you, and then Monday and Tuesday I'll take a
215
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.320
look at the top comedians of the twenty first century
216
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.039
so far. See you there,
