00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.560
Callaroga Shark media. Uh oh, it's August twentieth. You know
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.199
what that is. That's the two minute warning on Johnny
3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.600
Mack's summer. I'm gonna panic and have to go to
4
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.039
the beach ninety five times in the next ten days
5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.079
to Labor Day. And Labor Day is a pesky Monday,
6
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.320
September first, So all of a sudden, it's gonna be like, hey,
7
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.679
back to school. Uh. Conan O'Brien, Oh Hi, I'm Johnny
8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.839
Maack with your daily coming. He was. Conan O'Brien says
9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.399
Late Night TV is going to disappear, but quote people
10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.240
like Stephen Colbert are too talented and too essential to
11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.159
go away. I put the spin on light there. I
12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.640
think he said it as a compliments, and I'm not
13
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.799
taking a dig at Kobert. I just noticed I put
14
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.759
some spin on the sentence that I didn't need to.
15
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.240
Conan talked about all this while being honored at the
16
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.119
TV Academy Hall of Fame ceremony. He was inducted as
17
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.640
one of the six new members into the Hall of Fame,
18
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.520
joining Ryan Murphy among others. Macpacker Henry Winkler. Speaking of
19
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.880
macpack I've been oding on Bash Brothers, the Andy Samberg
20
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.200
thing about Mark McGuire and jose canseco out. It came
21
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.120
out like five years ago, and I put it on
22
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.159
last week. It's on Netflix. I've been watching it about
23
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.480
once a day and playing the soundtrack endlessly. Just go
24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.959
check out Bash Brothers. It's amazing. Anyway, Mac Packer, Henry
25
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.840
Winkler's in the Hall of Fame. Now Conan's in the
26
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.159
Hall of Fame. Conan said, you know, people say that
27
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.920
television is dying, but I want to ask you, if
28
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.280
our industry was really in trouble, would we be gathered
29
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.519
right now for our greatest night in a downtown Los
30
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:33.599
Angeles Marriott on a weekend in August. No, Conan O'Brien joked,
31
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.400
things are changing fast. I don't claim to know the
32
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.840
future of our beloved medium, but I know this, Getting
33
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.959
the privileged to play around with an hour of television
34
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.799
has been the great joy of my professional career. We're
35
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.359
having this event now at a time where there's a
36
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.680
lot of fear about the future of television, and rightfully so.
37
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.840
The life we've all known for almost eighty years is
38
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.159
undergoing seismic change. But this might just be my nature.
39
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.480
I choose not to mourn what is lost, because I think,
40
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.480
in the most essential way, what we have is not
41
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.799
changing at all. Streaming changes the pipeline, but the connection,
42
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:01.799
that talent, the ideas that come in our homes. I
43
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.680
think that's as quotent as ever. We have proof here
44
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.680
tonight the elephant in the room CBS ending the Late
45
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.759
Show with Colbert Conan said, yes, late night television as
46
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.759
we have known it since around nineteen fifty is going
47
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.560
to disappear. But those voices aren't going anywhere. People like
48
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.879
Steven Colbert are too talented and too essential to go away.
49
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.800
It's not going to happen. He's not going anywhere. Steven
50
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.639
is going to evolve and shine brighter than ever in
51
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.360
a new format that he controls completely. I had an
52
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.120
idea that'll never happen. It was recently the anniversary of
53
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.479
the Larry Sanders show What If Colbert, And remember in
54
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.159
the past, Colbert played a character called Stephen Colbert. What
55
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.159
If Colbert went to HBO and did a new take
56
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.400
on the Larry Sanders Show. So it's about what happens
57
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.479
to quote unquote Stephen Colbert as he gets a quote
58
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.360
unquote late night show on streaming. That could be fun,
59
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.080
but that's not what he's going to do. That was
60
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.479
my idea. Jimmy Kimmel is calling a hogwash on this
61
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.840
insider report claiming that Colbert's Late Show was losing paramount
62
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.919
forty million dollars a year. Kimmel pointed as ever, said,
63
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.439
there's just not a snowballs chance in hell that's anywhere
64
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.759
near accurate. All Right, that's pretty clear he has more.
65
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.199
The idea that Steven Colbert's show is losing forty million
66
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.360
dollars a year's beyond nonsensical. These alleged insiders who supposedly
67
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.199
analyze the budgets of the shows. I don't know who
68
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.759
they are, but I do know they don't know what
69
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.199
they're talking about. I would imagine Jimmy Kimmel has pretty
70
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.400
good insight into the finances of a late night show.
71
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.159
Maybe the real estate New York versus LA is different.
72
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.080
Maybe Colbert's show has eighty five times as many staffers
73
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.280
who have even better benefits. You know, could be stuff
74
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.400
like that. But if Colbert is saying forty million dollars
75
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.479
a year is not realistic, he's gotta be in the ballpark. Right.
76
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.240
Kimmel explained AD revenue is only one way shows make money,
77
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.960
and that affiliate fees can also make a show profitable.
78
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.639
It's really surprising how little the media seems to know
79
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.319
about how the media works. Yeah, like, if you want
80
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.680
to be an ABC affiliate, you got to like sign
81
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.599
up and I guess pay some money to the ABC's
82
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.039
I recently saw some TV stations stopped being affiliates. Let
83
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.680
me see if I can find that story real quick. Yeah,
84
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.479
here's from the Hollowood Reporter in March. Disney said the
85
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.280
Thursday in March that WPLG, the South Florida TV station
86
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.680
owned by Berkshire Hathway for the last eleven years, would
87
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.439
be losing its ABC affiliation later this summer. That I
88
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.639
think has now happened more from Kimmel. Suddenly he's losing
89
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.399
forty million dollars a year. I'll tell you, in the
90
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.360
first ten years I did the show, they claim we
91
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.399
weren't making any money, and we had five times as
92
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.879
many viewers on ABC as we do now. Who knows
93
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.879
what's true. I have to say, if Joe Biden had
94
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.439
used his muscle to get Sean Hannity kicked off the air.
95
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.759
You may be surprised to learn that I would not
96
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.439
support that. In fact, I would support Sean Hannity in
97
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.720
that situation because I thought one of the founding principles
98
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.480
of this country was free speech. But people don't seem
99
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.480
to care about protecting it unless you agree with them.
100
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.240
Kim Well declared this. I don't know about this, Jimmy said.
101
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.079
More if people are watching late night television than ever before,
102
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.480
including during Carson's era, our monologues get between two and
103
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.600
five million views, sometimes more. Every night. Seth Meyers gets
104
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.399
two million on YouTube alone. We're not even talking about
105
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.680
Instagram or the other platforms. The show John Stewart on
106
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.600
a Monday night, we'll get five million views. Then you
107
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.399
add in the TV ratings. So the idea that late
108
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.199
night is dead is simply untrue. Yes, but the idea
109
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.839
that an eleven thirty show losing money is dead, that
110
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.160
is true. I mean, if you guys want to just
111
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.519
sit home and stream monologues, sure you'll get views. And
112
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.480
what's the monetization on a YouTube video versus network television. Jimmy,
113
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.040
I mean, I'd pro late night here, but I do
114
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.319
understand you have to be realistic about the money and
115
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.680
to say like, oh, people are watching Seth Meyers on YouTube. Yeah,
116
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.160
that's nice. Kimmel wants you to vote for Colbert instead
117
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.759
of Kimmel for the Emmys. He told Variety, it seems
118
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.360
like voting for Steven is the least we could do
119
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.639
at this point, and I think it'll be a nice
120
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.680
statement if he does win. Obviously, awards don't mean much,
121
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.079
but every once in a while they do, and in
122
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.959
this case that they get will No, it won't. The
123
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.680
headline will be Stephen Colbert wins Emmy, and then there'll
124
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.319
be articles like haha, CBS, your stupid faces, see what
125
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.720
you did. And the show is still canceled. It doesn't
126
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.279
matter at all. All that said, sure, let's give Stephen
127
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.879
Colbert an Emmy. Seems like a good guy. I've previously
128
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.920
said if I were the Democrats, I'd get on the
129
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.800
phone and call him. But the show's not coming back.
130
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.439
It's done. It is an X show, it is deceased.
131
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.399
It is no more Late Nighter. Reports Kobert will not
132
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.759
get a tenth anniversary special on CBS. That makes sense
133
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.000
to me. It's a dead show walking again. If you
134
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.560
do a tenth anniversary special, No one's gonna go, oh,
135
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.120
those guys at CBS are cool. They're just gonna say,
136
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.839
look at those idiots at CBS and now they're doing
137
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.360
a tenth anniversary special. What jerks they are? So yeah,
138
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.839
you're not getting a ten anniversary special. Sorry, all right,
139
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.279
Enough with the late night Friend of the Show, Jen
140
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.560
Marcos Soireesi. There was a podcasting expert quote unquote expert
141
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.319
who wrote a big article about how you're not supposed
142
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.759
to say friend of the show or friend of the pod.
143
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.319
Why not? Why not? John Marco's been on twice, seems
144
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.399
to like me. His publicist definitely likes maybe treat notes
145
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.560
all the time, So sure, Friend of the Show. John
146
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360
Marcos Soiressi is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of
147
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.199
his first full length comedy special, Fief of Joy, that'll
148
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.639
be on his YouTube channel September nineteenth. Thief of Joy
149
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.959
blenched on Marco's signature theatrical flare with deeply personal storytelling.
150
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.399
Drawing from his life as a theater kid turned to
151
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.000
theater major. He weaves together intimate anecdotes about his relationship, career,
152
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.759
and parents divorce, all delivered in the animated style the
153
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.279
New York Times called silkly feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation.
154
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.079
Was that you, Jason Zinneman who wrote that phrase? I'm
155
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.399
pretty sure if I google that exact phrase, that'll come
156
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.040
up right. Let's see who wrote that? Yes, that was
157
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.480
Friend of the Show. Oh, I said Friend of the
158
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.800
show again. I'm going to get a note from the
159
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.160
podcasting expert Jason Zinneman. December one, twenty twenty three, New
160
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.199
York Times. Yep says here comic who alternates between silkily
161
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:51.240
feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation. Love it. See I'm not
162
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.279
good enough for the New York Times. My review would
163
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.439
be like, Yeah, he was really funny. That's why I'm
164
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.759
podcasting in the basement. Friend of the Show third time,
165
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.319
Jason Zinneman. He's writing for the New York Times. People
166
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.519
who went to see Shane Gillis says Shane has a
167
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:08.319
new opening video montage. It features clips of the Philadelphia
168
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.920
Eagles defeating the Kansas City Chiefs. The montage includes a
169
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.480
hit to the face of Patrick Mahomes. Interestingly enough, the
170
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.319
Chiefs and Eagles played each other week two. A lot
171
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.040
of Pete Davison stuff lately, all coming from his interview
172
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.639
with Charlemagne. What's making headlines this week is Pete talking
173
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.639
about how I canceled buck Guss and I got in
174
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.079
trouble for it because I didn't I love that show.
175
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.559
I love doing buck Guss at a blast. Just got
176
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.399
to a point where I really got tired of my
177
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.639
whole career just being my personal life and living through
178
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.279
that is sort of traumatic. Not to be lame, but
179
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.320
it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time.
180
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.639
Pete said the show's direction changed when a new collaborator
181
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.600
stepped in. Pete says, this new person came in and
182
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.159
was like, I think Pete should be banging Martha Stewart
183
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.240
this season. I think Pete should have more mental issues.
184
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.759
And I was like, oh, but I wouldn't do that.
185
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.919
And then we're like, well, Pete the character would, and
186
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.080
I was like, I can't do this. I was like,
187
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.919
if I want any shot and being in real movies
188
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.960
being seen a certain way, I just can't play myself
189
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.320
all the time and be this sack A at NBC react,
190
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.559
they were not pleased. Have you seen me in any
191
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.960
NBC Universal projects? Since they were upset, I cost people jobs,
192
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.399
and I took care of the writer's room and anyone
193
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:13.960
who to get paid that needed to. I took care
194
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:15.960
of it, which also hurt. But it's funny you work
195
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.240
for company over a decade. Pretty sure. I brought in
196
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:19.759
a lot of money, worked hard on the show as
197
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.600
a good boy, like promoting it and whatnot. Made me realize. Yes,
198
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.080
everything I'm about to tell you that Pete said, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
199
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.720
It made me realize about the business. No one actually
200
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.639
cares about you. Studios, networks, they don't really care about you.
201
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.240
They want you to do the thing, which I get.
202
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.559
And that's all good. But there was a time when
203
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.039
it wasn't. Seems like the New York Comedy Festival took
204
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.200
my note. I mean, this was probably the plan already,
205
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.960
but the original lineup, I was like, that's it. Eh. Well,
206
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.279
the new headline twenty twenty five New York Comedy Festival
207
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.639
ads one hundred plus shows featuring Chris Gethard, Mitel Lane,
208
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.200
Hannibal Burrs, Erica Rhodes, John Goblecan and Moore. Now now
209
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.240
even that the one hundred plus show sounds cool, even
210
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.080
those five names Getherared Matteo Hannibal Erica OWDs, John Goblcan
211
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.039
those are not like you know, you know, I'm not
212
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.759
reading you. New York Comedy Festival ads Jim Gaffig and
213
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.600
Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Shane Gillis, and whoever else you
214
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.240
want to said like they're nice and they're leading with Gethard,
215
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.919
Who's nice. Highlights include Right Now with John GOBLECN on
216
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.240
November seventh, The Magicians of Magic November ninth and tenth.
217
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.519
These are the highlights of the New York Comedy Festival.
218
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:23.960
By the way, I didn't write the press release they
219
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.600

232
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.240
then who were putting third Hannibal burs Oh Strangers with

Candy with Stephen Colbert's on this one? Okay, so rephrasing
