Conan O’Brien Explains His Slicked-Back Hair After a Scalp Sunburn

Show Notes
Transcript

Conan O’Brien explains on his podcast that slicked-back “greasy” hair came from rubbing oil into a sunburned scalp after attending the outdoor Obama Museum opening, where others like Stephen Colbert and David Letterman got badly burned. The show also covers Seth Meyers mocking President Trump’s World Cup-related comments and joking about a “hex” at MetLife Stadium, and Jimmy Kimmel telling Variety his ratings improved after news of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ending, while inviting Colbert to guest host (he declined). Other items include Kimmel promoting Celebrity Millionaire with Colin Jost and Michael Che, Jost discussing pronouncing Scarlett Johansson, an AGT Howie Mandel impersonator getting buzzed off, comedian Bob Marley’s campfire accident, promotion of LiveOne’s Weekly Comedy Thing, and Just for Laughs Montreal highlights including Mae Martin recording a Netflix special and coverage of the Nasty Show and Culture Show.

Caloroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.080
Conan O'Brien addressed what's up with his hair? Hello from poolside.

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.440
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. It is

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.519
seventy one degrees, Sonny out. The humidity's fifty five to

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.879
do points like fifty three, one of the top ten

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.280
days you're going to get. So we are not sitting

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.480
in a basement today when we can do this outside

8
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.199
with this cadas, the birds, the pool, the dogs, and

9
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.560
the landscapers. You may recall people were wigged. Well that's

10
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.679
a bit of a pun. People were wigged that Conan

11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.320
O'Brien had slicked back hair. Conan addressed the situation. He

12
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.479
told a long version of the story on his podcast.

13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.960
I started to pull the audio from it, it would just

14
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.359
take too long to get to it, so let me

15
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.479
just tell you what he said. He was invited to

16
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.640
the opening of the Obama Museum. He realized the opening

17
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.880
would be held outside, He put some sunscreen on his

18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.159
face and went about his day. Conan explains, it's three

19
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.000
hours plus and when it's over, I'm so glad that

20
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:59.799
I put the sunblock on, and I'm feeling really good

21
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.000
about myself, like smart move. He goes over to talk

22
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.439
to some fellow guests who he called bright red, like

23
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.040
Stephen Colbert and David Letterman. He said those gentlemen looked

24
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.400
like they had been playing in a sandbox with plutonium. However,

25
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.640
Conan says, a day or two later after the event,

26
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.519
I feel like my skull is on fire. And then

27
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.920
two days after that, my scalp is really itchy, and

28
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:20.760
whenever I itch it, it looks like a snow globe, it

29
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.280
looks like confetti. White freckled Confetti's pouring off my head.

30
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.640
It's disgusting. He was confused, he thought he was going crazy.

31
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.280
Someone let him know he had a scalp sunburn. Conan said,

32
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.120
I'm not used to that because I've got so much hair,

33
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.439
but this sun just blasted right through my hair, roasted

34
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.200
my scalp, and someone said, to treat this, you have

35
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.760
to rub oil into it. So this morning I rubbed

36
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.799
oil into it, not thinking about the podcast when we

37
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.359
went on camera, and then I come in and I

38
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.280
look like I'm in Shanta Na. I'm a grease ball.

39
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.879
I'm so greasy. I'm Frankie Valley. We'll see if it

40
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.840
goes back to the pompadoor. We'll keep it at twelve thirty.

41
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.159
Make twelve thirty great against. Seth Myers has been bashing

42
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.640
the President of the United States. Now, the President and

43
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.959
I don't agree on all the issues, but one of

44
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.359
the issues we do agree on is making twelve thirty

45
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.920
great again. We need to get back to the days

46
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.719
of Letterman and Conan. And yet Seth Myers has a

47
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.080
show for some reason, and Seth was mocking the commander

48
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.039
in chief for staying on stage during the World Cup.

49
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.120
The New York Post has brought this to my attention.

50
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.919
Apparently Seth took issue with a truth social post from

51
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.639
the President of the United States in which the President

52
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.960
praised Andrew Giuliani, who is the White House's point person

53
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.639
for the tournament and coincidentally, the son of Rudy Giuliani.

54
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.199
That doesn't mean Andrew wasn't the perfect person to run

55
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.400
these things. He just happens to have a famous father. Anyway,

56
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.879
I digress. Trump thanked the younger Giuliani for elevating the

57
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.080
World Cup to a level that nobody thought was possible.

58
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.080
Seth Myers, who has a show at twelve thirty for

59
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.199
some reason, said all right, calm down. It was already

60
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.960
the biggest sporting event in the world. It's not like

61
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.800
he sold seven million pickleball tickets. Myers also made fun

62
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.960
of Trump's comments during a pregame interview before the World

63
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.400
Cup final. The President said Ronaldo has a much easier

64
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.000
life and that he'd like to trade places with the

65
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.759
soccer star for a month or so. Seth Meyer said,

66
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.319
or longer. You ever watched Ronaldo like run full speed

67
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:04.960
up and down a soccer pitch and you're like, this

68
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.919
guy doesn't worked as hard as President Trump. Seth Myers

69
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.759
also suggests that President Trump is a sports reaper because

70
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.919
when he attends games, the teams he's rooting for lose.

71
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.439
I do like this joke, though, Seth said, They're going

72
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.599
to have to sage MetLife Stadium to get the hecks out,

73
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.000
otherwise the Jets might have a bad season. Love It

74
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.280
Jimmy Kimmel's Old Variety. The ratings are very strong, which

75
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.879
we are very grateful to CEBs for their wisdom. We

76
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.319
were doing pretty well before that, but that really helped that.

77
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.800
Of course, is the ending of The Late Show with

78
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.719
Steven Colbert, which nobody talks about it anymore. Except Jimmy Kimmel.

79
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.360
Kimmel told Variety asked Colbert if it liked to guest

80
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.759
host the Kimmel Show. Colbert politely declined. Jimmy said, of course.

81
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.599
I asked him, and I think it feels premature, but

82
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.159
I told him anytime you want to host it, it

83
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.680
doesn't matter if it's the summer, I'll gladly step aside.

84
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.439
Jimmy Kimmel was out promoting celebrity Millionaire. I guess people

85
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.240
watch this stuff. I'd rather watch civilians than celebrities. Some

86
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.800
of the celebrities are Colin Jostin, Michael Shay. Kimmel said,

87
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.759
I don't really know those guys. I learned that Michael

88
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.000
is very decisive and Colin is not, and in a

89
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.759
battle of the decisive and indecisive, the indecisive always wins.

90
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.919
Colin was really weighing things out in general on Millionaire.

91
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.120
Whatever your first thought is is probably the right answer,

92
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.840
unless you really have no idea. But people have a

93
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.680
tendency to blurt out what they think is the answer,

94
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.920
and then they take a long time talking themselves out

95
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.759
of that correct answer, and usually they'll come back to

96
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.839
the correct answer, but sometimes they talk themselves out of it.

97
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.439
In an unrelated clip, Colin jos explained how to pronounce

98
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.600
his wife's name. I didn't know, we didn't know how

99
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.800
to pronounce it. But here's Colin Jost telling us the

100
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.360
proper way to say Scarlett Johansson.

101
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.360
How do you.

102
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:36.759
Pronounce your wife's last name?

103
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:43.199
Is it Joe Hanson or Yo Hanson? I don't know.

104
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.319
I've never met her in person yet, but so I

105
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.319
want to hear how she says it Johansson. I mean

106
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.600
I certainly say Johansson. I mean I don't say it

107
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.519
really ever, but.

108
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:55.480
Yo, Joe Hanson.

109
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:03.920
Why is the fridge empty? But it was originally she's Danish.

110
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.360
I think her family is kind of a mix, probably

111
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.959
kind of went back and forth a little bit between

112
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.839
Denmark and Sweden. So it was definitely it was Johannes

113
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:16.519
Johanssen probably originally, and I was probably Yost in Germany.

114
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.319
But now that's all along forgotten. So we all we

115
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.839
changed together, All ancestors coordinated, and so let's get them together.

116
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.399
Are you with Michael Chang? I didn't say you can

117
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.480
have a second question.

118
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.959
Did you see the Howie Mandel impersonator on America's got talent. Yeah.

119
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.639
A guy came out dressed as Howie Mandel. He called

120
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:43.360
himself Howard Michael Lando. Simon Cowell asked why. From the sidelines,

121
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.120
Terry Crews said this is disturbing. Before Howard Michael Lando

122
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.759
could do his act, meil Be reached across the judges

123
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.839
table and hit all four red buzzers. The audience protested

124
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.600
and pleaded with the panel to give a fake Howie

125
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:01.240
Mandel a chance for lunch today.

126
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.879
I couldn't decide if I wanted a pickle with my

127
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.519
sandwich or not. I was like dil or no dil.

128
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.079
He then did a second joke, which was if I

129
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.800
was on a farm, I'd be Cowie Mandel. Definitely time

130
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.959
to hit the buzzer and Melb said that was not good.

131
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.000
She asked the audience did anybody laugh? They went to

132
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.639
the vote. All the judges said no, fake Cowie Mandel

133
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.120
said that's fair. Good night. Bob Marley caught on fire

134
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.800
and first of all, this is comedian Bob Marley. I've

135
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.839
worked with Bob a little bit over the years. I

136
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.759
remember one time he was trying to set the record

137
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.959
for longest comedy set up. I can't remember if he

138
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.800
has the record now, or if Chappelle does, I could

139
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.279
look it up, and I'm too lazy. I think Marley

140
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.879
does because we broadcast the whole thing live on satellite

141
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.959
radio a million years ago. Anyway, he goes by comedian

142
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.439
Bob Marley, so you don't think he's the reggae guy.

143
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.519
And then in the computers we always had a label

144
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.639
at comedian Bob Marley. Otherwise his stuff was really difficult

145
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.759
to schedule because you'd want to schedule a comedy record.

146
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.920
He'd accidentally schedule. I shot the sheriff. You don't want

147
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.199
to do that. Comedian Bob Marley caught on fire. He

148
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.240
was forced to dive into the lake by his camp

149
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.560
when a sweatpants caught on fire. John, we all heard

150
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.839
your chuckle during the story. Do you think it's funny

151
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.839
that Bob Marley caught on fire? Apparently you do. We

152
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.079
heard the chuckle. Don't edit it out. You cowered. What happened?

153
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.800
Bob was making s'mores. He was cooking with Uncle Jimmy,

154
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.920
and one of Uncle Jimmy's s'mores got overcooked. Bob Marley

155
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.519
went to rescue his seventy nine year old uncle Jimmy's

156
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.279
s'more from the fire, and the blaze jumped from the

157
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.399
fire to the sweatpants. Uncle Jimmy said, Bobby, your leg's

158
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.519
on fire. Bob Marley said, I know, Jimmy. Oh see,

159
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.439
this is why I love recording outside. I'm deliberately doing

160
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.319
this for the randomness. Do you hear that? I don't

161
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.720
know if you can hear that, but again, I'm in

162
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.399
my backyard. No one's doing anything wrong. You're not supposed

163
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.040
to record your podcast Poolside, John, You're supposed to record

164
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.040
it in a basement like losers do. Anyway, the neighbor

165
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.639
is now having his generator serve, so that's why you

166
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.000
hear the generator noise. I'm leaving all this in. That

167
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.360
is the beauty of Poolside. This is why you work

168
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.920
for yourself. I could be trapped in an office in

169
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.199
New York City staring out the window, going it's seventy

170
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.839
one degrees out in sunny, and I'm trapped in this office.

171
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.639
So we're gonna put up with the generator guy. I digress.

172
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.319
Before all that happened, you may recall Bob Marley was

173
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.800
on fire. Uncle Jimmy said, Bobby, your leg's on fire.

174
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.879
Marley said, I know Jimmy Bob Marley jumps in the lake,

175
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.399
and he explains when I was in the water, I

176
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.079
took off my sweatpants and my shirt and put them

177
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.480
on the doc to dry, and then I got up

178
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.560
on the docks, standing there in my underwear. Then I

179
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.759
see a pontoon boat coming toward me with three one

180
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.680
hundred and ten year old ladies on it. One of

181
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.439
them asked me, Bob, are you standing there in your underwear?

182
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.840
And Marley said yes, I am. Okay, I actually put

183
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.600
a note in this week's show to remember to promote

184
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.480
the Weekly Comedy Thing. It was pointed out to me

185
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.879
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group that

186
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.840
I never remember to promote it. What is this weekly

187
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.039
Comedy Thing? John? Okay. There's an app it is called

188
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.879
Live One where you can listen to music and the

189
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.360
comedy stations. I program the comedy station so you can

190
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.039
listen to comedy. The app is free. All this is free.

191
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.840
You can just do this for free. And then on

192
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.919
Sundays I published a show called The Weekly Comedy Thing,

193
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.799
which kind of sort of overlaps with this show. Now

194
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.879
this is where I can do long form versions of

195
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.799
the stories, and on the weekly comedy thing, I'm more

196
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.039
of a jock, so I'm trying to keep the story

197
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.279
super tight. But over there I can actually play the

198
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.159
comedy clips. So if I tell you say, Mark Maren's

199
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:15.840
going to be at a film festival, I can play

200
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.279
Mark Maron after it. If you're into you discovering new comedians,

201
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.559
some of the newer comedians you'll hear this week on

202
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.639
the show Ali Hassan, Tom Staid, Kyle Gordon, and Whitmer.

203
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.720
Thomas also got some Bob Marley in there. You know

204
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.519
why the story I just told you, except on that show,

205
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.720
I tell the twenty second version of it. It is

206
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.480
the final day of Just for Laughs Montreal. It wasn't

207
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.480
much buzz this year. At five o'clock today May Martin

208
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.600
is recording a Netflix special and again at eight thirty,

209
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.200
we'll keep the best take. There only two other shows,

210
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.879
Raffy Bostos is at Club Soda at seven and Lucy

211
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.360
Dorling at seven. That's kind of it. I mean, I'm

212
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.639
glad the festival's back, but Netflix says stolen their corner,

213
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.440
as they say in Montreal, because zat they want to

214
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.720
hit the nasty show. During the comedian CP talked to

215
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.559
the gazette and said, this is a very smart comedy crowd.

216
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.200
As a comedian, that's one of the most important things

217
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.039
that your audience understands how to be an audience. It's funny.

218
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.000
Some people are intimidated by the French, but then you

219
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.399
come and they have a high ballot for comedy. Also,

220
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.639
they're not sensitive. They understand a lot of jokes derive

221
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.840
from inappropriate places and they love that. We are told

222
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.960
CPS cartoon like Cadence echos the early days of M

223
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.559
and M, with whom CP's uncle Trick Trick is a

224
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.200
frequent collaborator. The essence of Slimshady can be found throughout

225
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.960
his high energy, envelope pushing storytelling, which covered everything from

226
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.440
some dirty stuff I don't want to get into, and

227
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.039
some more dirty stuff I don't want to get into,

228
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.960
and then a third thing that's kind of dirty that

229
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.679
involved the wildfires and the words squirting. You figured out

230
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.200
it is the nasty show after all, John, what do

231
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.960
you think was gonna happen? Ontario's Rebecca Reid came in

232
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.600
and told some jokes about various private parts. Really good

233
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.000
punchline here, but I can't set it up for you.

234
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.759
Go to the Montreal Gazette to read it. Meanwhile, at

235
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.440
the Culture Show, Dave mer Hedge was your host. He

236
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.159
told Cult MTL it's such a dope festival to perform at.

237
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.000
He also called Montreal a savvy audience with good knowledge

238
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.480
of stand up, which allows comedians to be themselves. The

239
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.919
Culture Show formerly known as the Ethnic Show and then

240
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.360
was known as Just for the Culture. I didn't even

241
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.480
realize they had switched this name. Just for the Culture

242
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.200
was bad. The Culture Show is better. I still like

243
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.000
the Ethnic Show the best. Come on, we all know

244
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.360
what this is anyway. The concept is simple. Five comics

245
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.799
of different backgrounds come together for an evening of laughs.

246
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.440
Dave mar Hedge was your Lebanese comedian. Then we got

247
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:41.519
Wise Cal Tara, Canishtraki, high energy Keith Pedro and the

248
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.279
methodical and storytelling driven Alfred Roebliss. And that is your

249
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.240
comedy news on a summer Sunday. Pretty strong for a

250
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.399
summer Sunday. And I will see you tomorrow
