00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:16.280
Caalaroga Shark Media. Sixteen comedians, one island, one survivor this

2
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.079
January on Daily Comedy News.

3
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.280
Outbit Outlaugh Outlast.

4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.079
This is Comedy Survivor. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack and welcome

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.920
to the Comedy Survivor selection show. Here's how this is

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.440
going to go. Today, I will give you these sixteen

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.200
names of the comedians we are putting on the legally

8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.119
distinct parody of famous TV show Legally Distinct Parody.

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.159
It's a joke, guys.

10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.240
Relax, Okay, We're putting sixteen comedians on an island. Every

11
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.439
week in the Facebook group, you're going to go to

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.000
the Facebook group. You're going to find the Comedy Survivor

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.479
drawing that I'll have the AI make and you're going

14
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.840
to vote someone off the island, one person off the

15
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.280
island every week. You're familiar with this concept. How this

16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.000
is going to work? Yes, we're going to do that.

17
00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:59.280
Now.

18
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
Remember it's not about who wins. It's about the journey.

19
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.560
It's about the jokes. It's about what we can set up.

20
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.680
So we're gonna have fun with this thing. That is

21
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.799
the idea. Last week in the Facebook group, which is

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.599
Daily Comedy News podcast group. I asked the listeners to

23
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.480
nominate some folks, and nominate they did. We wound up

24
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.280
with a group that is six women and ten men.

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.079
I had to go in a little bit and go, Okay,

26
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.400
here's all these nominations, who should we do? And I

27
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.239
didn't want it to be runaway white males, which it very,

28
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.439
very very easily could have been, so I tried to

29
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.680
keep it at least somewhat diverse. Interestingly, nobody nominated Dave Chappelle,

30
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.879
so he is not part of this. I only went

31
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.000
with names thrown out in the group, and there were

32
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.799
a couple of places where I had to use my

33
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.480
brain to do some tiebreakers. But here are your sixteen

34
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:59.079
comedy survivors. Are you ready? First up on the island,

35
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.879
if you need a drink, Jim Gaffigan will be there

36
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.920
to sell you some bourbon. He will be happy to

37
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.199
do it. Next up our second comedy survivor. She's hosting

38
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.120
the Golden Globe, so she'll be in the news. That

39
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.240
makes this more fun. That's kind of how I put

40
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.840
my thumb on the scale here. I want people who

41
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.439
are in the news that we can talk about. Nicki Glazer,

42
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.439
Welcome to the Island, our third Comedy Survivor. A nomination

43
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.719
for Mary who gets the bit she has nominated? Seth Myers, No, no,

44
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.800
no no, Seth Meyers, Are you crazy? Make twelve thirty

45
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.319
great again?

46
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:30.719
All right?

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.719
Seth Meyers on the Island, joining Nicki Glazer and Jim Gaffigan.

48
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.759
Next up, a man who's never afraid to take a

49
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.840
gig and if this thing were real, you know he'd

50
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:39.599
want to work on it.

51
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.759
Yes, it's Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart.

52
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.280
He announces a new project every day, might as well

53
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.759
announce this one. Kevin Hart. Welcome to Comedy Survivor. Our

54
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.080
next Comedy survivor is someone who always likes being talked about,

55
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.800
So talk about you we will. Amy Schumer, Welcome to

56
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.000
the Comedy Survivor Island. Next one up. A couple nominations.

57
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.800
Couldn't leave this guy off. One of the top in

58
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.199
the game right now. John Mulaney, Welcome to Comedy Survivor.

59
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.120
I like this nomination a lot. She's one of my favorites.

60
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.520
Maybe not the biggest comedian out there, but nice in

61
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.159
the mix. This could be a sleeper pick. This person

62
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.080
could go all the way ots Goo at Conska. Nice pick.

63
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.159
There next up again, you guys get it. Let's get

64
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:29.719
some materially out of this. Sebastian manescelgo, okay, sure. Our

65
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.639
next Comedy Survivor is could be another sleeper pick. Tig

66
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:41.280
Nataro good solid pick. There a few people nominated. This

67
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:46.479
next person quite surprising late in his career, still pretty popular,

68
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.639
and you'll probably find him over next to Jim Gaffigan

69
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:56.199
drinking the bourbon. It's Ron White, someone who the more

70
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.360
I look at her career she might actually be underrateds

71
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.879
are consistently great. She is Sarah Silverman. Welcome to Comedy Survivor.

72
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.400
Another from the nomination pool.

73
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:12.599
A bit of a.

74
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.759
Wild card pick here, what if it expected this name?

75
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.639
But when I saw it, I was like, oh, that's fun.

76
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.560
So let's see how far Leslie Jones gets in Comedy Survivor.

77
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.879
One more from the nomination group, Bert Kreischer makes it

78
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.079
onto Comedy Survivor. I was kind of a toss up

79
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.519
between Bert and Bill Burr, but since Bert has the

80
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.360
Netflix thing coming out, I figured he'd be in the

81
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.439
news a little bit more. Bill Burr would have been

82
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.360
a solid pick for this, and again we are not

83
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.240
picking best Comedian in the world or anything like that.

84
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.079
That's not what this is. This is just comedy survivor.

85
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.959
We're throwing out sixteen names. Let's see what happens. So

86
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.439
that's the last one from the nomination committee. And then

87
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.360
there were the initial picks that I threw out there

88
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:53.480
because this is a bit.

89
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.279
They are former host of the Golden Globes Joe Coy.

90
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.439
You remember he hosted the Golden Globes one time and

91
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.360
told this horrible joke about Taylor Swift.

92
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.959
You don't remember here, I'll play it for you.

93
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.240
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.

94
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.639
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.

95
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.399
On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of

96
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:15.199
Taylor Swift.

97
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.199
That's how that bit works.

98
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.839
Also, on the island, the worst person who ever lived,

99
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.720
he'll probably be first off. This guy is so horrible,

100
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.839
taking care of his ill wife and doing charity events

101
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.480
and occasionally commenting on Late night how dare you jay

102
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.720
leto Welcome to the Island. And of course no bit

103
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.759
would be complete without having a great dramatic actor on

104
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.720
the island. So we have fifteen comedians and one great

105
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.759
dramatic actor. Welcome to Comedy Survivor, Adam Sandler. Okay, how's

106
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.160
this gonna work. We'll wait until the holidays are gone.

107
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.240
First week in January. I will post this every week

108
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.399
on the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News Podcast group.

109
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.000
You guys will go in, you will vote someone off.

110
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.839
Whoever gets the most votes, they're out of the competition.

111
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.000
If we have a tie, I will just pick, and

112
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.879
I will pick. I'll tell you right now, based on

113
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.120
where I think the most humor can be. Do not

114
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.360
take this too seriously. This is a bit, This is fun.

115
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.079
This is just something for us to argue about the

116
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:12.920
Facebook group and have a little fun with the show.

117
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.600
So here are You're sixteen comedy survivors. They are Jim Gaffigan,

118
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:22.399
Nicki Glazer, Seth Myers, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, John Mulaney,

119
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.720
