on Comedy Island. Each week, the listener group has voted

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.519
one comedian off the island. We are down to the

00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.040
Nicki Glazer. We have a tie.

22
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:50.000
Now.

23
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.920
The first thing this tells us is Sarah Silverman is

24
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.000
officially in the finals of Comedy Survivor, but we have

25
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.599
to settle the tie. Who's going home? Is it John

26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.599
Mullaney or Nicki Glazer? And in full Ryan Seacrest form,

27
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:15.479
I will tell you the answer after the break. As

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.919
we have established on Comedy Survivor, when there is a tie,

29
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.840
the AI settles the tie. But before we do that,

30
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.240
let's verify the votes. Spruce, the AI are you there,

31
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:26.520
I'm right here.

32
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.639
I've been keeping track. If you want to confirm the

33
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.960
votes or have me break that tie, I'm ready.

34
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.479
When you are, please check the count I don't want

35
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.680
any errors.

36
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.639
No problem. I've gone through the votes again and the

37
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.599
tally is indeed accurate. Six votes for John Mulaney and

38
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.400
six votes for Nicki Glazer, So we've got ourselves a

39
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.560
perfect tie. Let me know when you're ready for me

40
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.000
to make that deciding vote.

41
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.919
All right, it's down to the finals. Spruce will decide

42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.360
who will take on Sarah Silverman in the finals of

43
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.560
Comedy Survivor. Spruce, you will now vote someone off the island.

44
00:02:58.719 --> 00:02:59.639
Who's going home?

45
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.360
Well, this is a tough call, but here we go.

46
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.639
I'm sending John Mullaney home. Nicki Glazer moves on to

47
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.599
face Sarah Silverman in the final showdown. Like, see what

48
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.319
happens next?

49
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.000
Wow? John Mullaney goes home in a shocker. Oh wow,

50
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.080
I thought for sure Mulaney was gonna hit the finals here. Wow,

51
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.800
absolutely amazing. So we're down to the final two, Nicki

52
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:32.639
Glazer or Sarah Silverman. Sarah with zero votes. Nicki comes

53
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.479
into the finals barely escaping in its tiebreaker. Sarah Silverman

54
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.240
had no votes and for most of this contest has

55
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.879
gotten very few votes. Is Sarah Silverman the favorite to

56
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.960
win Comedy Survivor would you have guest her name four

57
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.439
months ago? But we're not done yet. You guys have

58
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.439
to vote now. Let me be clear because sometimes the

59
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.639
TV thing on the island gets a little confusing. For

60
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.280
this week, we are still voting someone off. Okay, hey,

61
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.479
if you write the name down, you're sending them home.

62
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.879
I know sometimes TV does something different in the finale.

63
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.159
We're not doing that. We're voting someone off. So if

64
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.759
you want Nicki Glazer to lose, write Nicki Glazer. If

65
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.439
you want Sarah Silverman to lose, Right, Sarah Silverman, got it.

66
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.879
You're sending someone home. You're voting against someone. Here's what

67
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.040
you do. You go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy

68
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.040
News Podcast Group. You write down the name of someone

69
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.720
you want to go home. The person with the most

70
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.000
votes will go home, leaving one person on Comedy Island.

71
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.839
That person will be the Comedy Survivor. Okay, Daily Comedy
