1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:20.600
Callaroga, Shark Media.
2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:17.719
Outbit Outlaugh Outlast. This is Comedy Survivor and I'm Johnny Mac.
3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.519
This is Comedy Survivor where six weeks ago, sixteen comedians
4
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.920
were stranded on Comedy Island. Each week, the listeners vote
5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:27.640
off one comedian. What they do is they go to
6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.879
the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News Podcast group,
7
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.159
and they write down a name. Whoever gets the most
8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.880
votes is voted off Comedy Island. Still in the game.
9
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.479
Jim Gaffigan, Nikki Glazer, Seth Myers, Kevin Hart, John Mulaney,
10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:48.039
Otsko At Kotzka, Sebastian Manascalco Tig Nataro, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones,
11
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.399
and Bert Kreischer. It's time to see who goes home.
12
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.759
I'll tell you the votes. Michelle votes for Sarah Silverman.
13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.000
I believe that is Sarah's first vote in the game.
14
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.079
Matt votes for Kevin Hart. I believe that's Kevin Hart's
15
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:10.480
first vote in the game. Interesting start here. Mike votes
16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:19.799
for Seth Myers. Scott votes for tig Nataro, Aaron votes
17
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.680
for Seth Myers. That's two votes for Seth Myers. Yvon
18
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.760
votes for Osco At Cotska. Rob votes for OSCO at Cootska.
19
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.400
That's two votes for OTSCO at Cootka, two votes for
20
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:38.200
Seth Myers. Dylan votes for OTSCO at Cotska, three votes
21
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:43.799
for OTSCO at Cootska. Richard votes for Seth Myers, three
22
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:50.640
votes for Seth, three votes for Otsco, Cheryl votes for
23
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.959
Sebastian Maniscalco, Andrea votes for Sebastian Maniscalco. That's three votes
24
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.599
for Otsco, three votes for Seth, and two votes for Sebastian.
25
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.959
And our final vote comes from Andy, who votes for
26
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.840
Kevin Hart. Once again for the second week in a row,
27
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.280
we have a tie. Under the rules of Comedy Survivor, Spruce,
28
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.879
the AI will cast the deciding vote. Spruce, are you there,
29
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:27.599
I'm right here.
30
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.439
No need to worry. I'm ready whenever you need me.
31
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:30.879
What's on your mind? Next?
32
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.560
Can you check my work make sure the votes are accurate.
33
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.439
I already reviewed the votes from the text you share,
34
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.479
and the final tally came out to a tie between
35
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.280
Seth Myers and Asuquo Costco with three votes each.
36
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.199
Under the rules of Comedy Survivor, you get to cast
37
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.879
the deciding vote and would like your reason why please.
38
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.319
Well, since I'm in the hot seat, I pick based
39
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.039
on who stirred the most passionate debate. Both Seth and
40
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.360
Onsugo got strong reactions. Since comedy subjective, I lean forward,
41
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.879
keeping the one who sparked that I finally watched them.
42
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.960
Tsuko stays. Seth goes. Now that's a twist.
43
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.000
Wow, make twelve thirty great again. Seth Myers has been eliminated.
44
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.439
We'll take the break, we'll come back, and we'll analyze
45
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.000
this week's vote. Wow. Another fun week here on Comedy Island.
46
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.639
Seth meyers elimination is a big vote, not a random one.
47
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.000
It was not a pylon from a one voting block.
48
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.520
It was a coalition. Mike started the ball rolling with
49
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.280
a clean direct vote that framed Seth Myers as the
50
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.919
natural follow up to Jay Leno. Aaron reinforced it with
51
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.919
an argument about making Late Night great again. Aaron, the
52
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.879
President of the United States and I are all aligned
53
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.560
on that one. Somehow. The AI tells us what matters
54
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.000
is that the anti Seth vote was unified while the
55
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.919
rest of the field was fragmented. Otsgo had momentum early,
56
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.960
then it's stalled. Kevin Hart has a little heat, but
57
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.199
its casual heat, not organized heat, and Sebastian's two late
58
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.680
votes are protest votes, not a movement, and the AI
59
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.599
points out people openly said we can get Seth later
60
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.000
and then didn't. That means that once the name becomes acceptable,
61
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.680
it becomes inevitable. According to the AI, upcoming possible targets
62
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.240
include Kevin Hart, Sebastian, and of course Osco at Kotska
63
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.960
little momentum. She barely survived this week, but Leslie Jones
64
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.439
barely survived last week, and there wasn't a single vote
65
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.920
for her this week, So who knows what will happen
66
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.279
on Comedy Survivor. So here's what you're going to do.
67
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.439
You're going to go to the Facebook group which is
68
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.759
Daily Comedy News podcast group. There you will find a
69
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.680
cartoon image of me and Seth Myers. In that Facebook thread,
70
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.600
you will vote. Make it super clear, I'm voting off
71
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.720
so and So. The last thing I need for this
72
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.439
thing is a controversy. It's bad enough with the ties.
73
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.959
Seth Myers has been eliminated, joining Amy Schumer, Adam Sandler,
74
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.480
Joe Cooy, Ron White, and Jay Leno. Back at the
75
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.040
Comedy Island Resort, and Spa Hotel still in the game.
76
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.720
Still on the island. Jim Gaffigan. I don't think he's
77
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.079
got a vote yet. Nikki Glazer quietly sailing along. Kevin
78
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.879
Hart now on the radar, John Mulaney, Sebastian Manascalco, Tig Natar,
79
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.759
Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, Bird Kreischer, and Otsco at Cosca.
80
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.839
Still on Comedy Island. A right comment one name. You
81
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.759
are voting someone off the island. One vote per person.
82
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.040
Voting ends end of day Thursday. Who will go next?
83
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.639
