00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.480
Kalaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.720
On Today Show, Conan O'Brien's gonna win the Mark Twain Prize.

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.880
Jamie Fox took a shot at somebody, was it? Cant Williams,

4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.440
Bill Burr's got a big profile and variety and Roywood

5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.120
Junior specials out on Hulu Today. Not that their publicist

6
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.800
wants me to know about it. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack

7
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.679
with Today's Daily Comedy News. Conan O'Brien will be the

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.839
next recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.280
He'll be honored at the annual gala March twenty third

10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.600
at the John F. Kennedy Senator for the Performing Arts

11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.840
in Washington, d C. Netflix will stream the events sometime

12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.000
later in the year, so expect a lot of Conan

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.520
press coming up because he's also hosting the Oscars on

14
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.159
March second. Conan becomes the twenty sixth person to receive

15
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.119
the award. Others include Carl Reiner, wi Be Goldberg, Tina

16
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.079
fe Eddie Murphy, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and I believe

17
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.439
Bill Cosby oops at his fact check that he did.

18
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.719
The Kennedy Center rescinded the honor in twenty eighteen. I've

19
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.840
got some Bill Cosby stories to tell, and I will

20
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.680
tell them, but not today. Perhaps after his death I

21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.879
will share them digress. Conan said, I'm honored to be

22
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.239
the first winner of the Mark Twain Prize, recognized not

23
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.760
for humor but for my work as a riverboat pilot.

24
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.680
Deborah Rutterer is the president of the Kennedy Center and

25
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.079
said from Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons, where he

26
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.840
was a writer, including the unbelievably funny monorail episode, Oh

27
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.719
that's a trigger for me. I'm going to be singing

28
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:37.879
monorail all day now. Conan is a master of invention

29
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.040
and reinvention, consistently pushing the envelope in search of new

30
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.239
comedic heights. I look forward to honoring his immense legacy

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.959
and enduring impact with an uproarious evening in the Concert

32
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.560
Hall on March twenty third. The Holly Reporter has a

33
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.519
nice bio of Conan. He began his career on HBO's

34
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.799
Not Necessarily the News. Remember that show, fellow oldies I

35
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.879
used to watch that. He was a writer on SNL

36
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.439
and The Simpsons took over for Letterman in ninety three,

37
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.519
hosted this Night Show for seven minutes in two thousand

38
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.000
and nine, kind of hit out on TBS No offense

39
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.680
for eleven years on TBS, No offense, but kind of

40
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.199
hit out. I think if we ranked everything Cony did,

41
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.960
the TBSC years probably had the least impact. And then

42
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.159
he started a podcast which has done okay, that one

43
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.520
called Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Dave Chappelle hosts Saturday

44
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.319
Night Live. This week. They put out an interesting promo.

45
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.280
Dave Chappelle appears in it but never speaks. Towards the

46
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.680
end of the promo we see Chappelle on a stool,

47
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.599
but I will play the audio for you with this

48
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.240
Morgan Freeman esque or perhaps actually Morgan Freeman voiceover. Who knows,

49
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:35.919
but let's listen.

50
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:44.840
Studio AH, New York City's Helloed Comedy Ground, a fifty

51
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.000
year tradition we left of that Saturday Night Live, all

52
00:02:49.280 --> 00:03:00.000
great past of these halls. Also Stephen Chagall and This Saturday.

53
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.199
So some background there on the Steven Sagal shot. Former

54
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.759
SNL writer Al Franken in twenty twenty two called Sigal

55
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.400
an effing moron whose big sketch idea involved him. I

56
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.719
don't even want to voice this doing something very very

57
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.240
sexually violent to cast member Victoria Jackson again in a

58
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.280
sketch Franken recalled, asking him, so he want us to

59
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.479
do the ugliest sketch that's ever been on television. Lauren

60
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.240
michael Is the ones called Sagal the biggest jerk who's

61
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.120
ever been on the show. Wow. Jamie Fox is out

62
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.599
with Cameron Diaz. They're promoting Back in Action. They were

63
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.599
on Complex's Goat Talk. Jamie was asked what is his

64
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.879
goat curse word? And I'm really gonna have to let

65
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.680
you use your imagination here. Jamie said, B word made

66
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.599
an N word. Okay, I don't even want to tell

67
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.800
you what it rhymes with. You'll figure it out. You're smart.

68
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.439
Now Here, he took a shot at someone folks on

69
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.280
the interwebs suspect he's talking about Kat Williams. Fox said,

70
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.199
be Made for Me is actually scientific because when I

71
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.520
see the guy that I'm talking about, he's usually small.

72
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.479
He's one hundred and twenty eight pounds. Camer Diez was curious,

73
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.039
asking how many men do you know who were one

74
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.120
hundred and twenty eight pounds. Jamie said a lot of comedians.

75
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.560
I'll leave it at that. A lot of little MF

76
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.240
comedians be made an n F at here man tiny

77
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.720
it's tiny mfer. So the theory is he could mean

78
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.360
Kevin Hart, but I don't recall Kevin and Jamie and

79
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.639
talking about each other ever, or Kat Williams, who definitely

80
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.240
has talked about Jamie. Steve Harvey, who is not one

81
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.000
hundred and twenty eight pounds, has also previously referred to

82
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.519
Kat Williams as a heater. We'll keep an eye on

83
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.000
this little beef. Johnny Mack likes comedy beefs. That's good

84
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.439
for the show. Bill Burr did a lengthy interview with Variety.

85
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.480
I'm seeing a lot of pushback to Burr's appearance on

86
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.959
Kimmel the other night, people suggesting that Burr is tone

87
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.560
def or sucking up to Gavin Newsom or something. I

88
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.639
don't know, but going up a level. I'm seeing more

89
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.319
and more chatter from longtime Bill Burr fans who feel

90
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.720
like Bill has I don't know what to describe it,

91
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.240
gone soft, gone Hollywood, lost his way. The vibe being

92
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.720
they prefer the old Bill Burr, not the current incarnation

93
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:18.079
who seems to be I don't know, more restrained. I'm

94
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.399
not sure I'm feeling that, but I definitely have caught

95
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.279
that vibe on several podcasts that I listen to. I'll

96
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.759
pick up this article for the next few days and

97
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.199
tomorrow on this program Larry the Cable Guys my guest.

98
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.519
So I'll do a little of this today, a little Sunday,

99
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.920
and it might even carry in it a Monday. It's

100
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.680
pretty long. You'll find it Variety, and I've shared it

101
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.759
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Please

102
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.160
feel encouraged to join us there and join in on

103
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.000
the conversation Hurtzeld Variety. I'm feeling pretty lucky. Bill had

104
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.040
evacuated his house due to the La fires, as covered

105
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.199
on Kimmel Kills Me. It's just a lot of bots.

106
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.439
I think it's trees in his behavior to politicize everything

107
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.360
and keep it working people at each other's throats. It's

108
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:53.839
all like it for one group of people. It's not

109
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.199
working people. This is not meant to be any sort

110
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.360
of Bill Burr impression. I'm just separating it from my

111
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.399
normal reading voice. I go back to any arc my

112
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.720
comic friends tell me how soft La is. I'm like

113
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.240
oh you New York has come out here and you

114
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:05.959
leave with the tail between your legs because you can't

115
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.839
hack it. It's funny in LA is considered the soft place,

116
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.319
but then when they see our weather, they start quoting revelations.

117
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.000
I'm a New Yorker who has spent time in LA.

118
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.040
I've never lived in LA. But I have no idea

119
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.439
what Burr is talking about there about New York is

120
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.160
going out there and then not being able to hack

121
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.519
Los Angeles. No idea whatsoever. But again, I'm not a

122
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.759
comedian and I've never lived in Los Angeles. Burr's out

123
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.399
promoting his hilarious special Drop Dead Years. It'll be out

124
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.319
March fourteenth. Now, if you want to make a case

125
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.040
for Burr has gone establishment, the Hulu stand up comedy

126
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.160
series is pretty mainstream. Jim gaff again, Sembastian I think

127
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.839
is part of that lineup, and Roy Wood Junior, Who's

128
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.160
got one out today. Roy's is called Lonely Flowers. In

129
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.399
Lonely Flowers, Roywood Junior riffs on how isolation has sense,

130
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.600
society spiraling ins who a culture of guns, protests, root employees,

131
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.839
self checkout lanes, and sex parties. Roy told NPR when

132
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.639
I It'd be Easy's Comic View in two thousand and

133
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.319
four had gotten turned down three years in a row,

134
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.959
and I got so angry with them. I watched every

135
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.279
episode and I cataloged every topic that was breached by

136
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.360
comedians for the previous year's entire season. How many jokes

137
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.240
about being ugly, here's sex jokes, here's race jokes, president

138
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.879
famous people, and cataloged at all And this told myself

139
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.000
that entire year, I won't make a joke about any

140
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.560
of those things. So now, at a minimum, i'm original.

141
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.959
I like that approach. That's pretty good. Roy talked about

142
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.560
leaving the Daily Show. It goes back to the Doug

143
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.879
Herzog quote that I posted the day that I left

144
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.879
for I said, you don't own these jobs. You rent them,

145
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.839
and sooner or later your numbers up. So it doesn't

146
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.480
matter if I stayed at The Daily Show sooner or

147
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.879
later and exits inevitable. It's which uncertainty will you choose

148
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.399
stay at this job. I'm not sure who's going to

149
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.639
get hired as host. With the uncertainty of not having

150
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.560
a job and trying to create another job and maybe

151
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.480
to be a better job, choose he told a story

152
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.800
about his dad being a founding investor in Soul Train.

153
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.120
Roy said, my dad was the first black announcer at

154
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.319
pretty much most stations. He worked out in the fifties

155
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.800
and sixties doing news for the most part. And so

156
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.720
we got with some people up in Chicago and decided

157
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.920
to create the National Black Network. And the National bl

158
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.199
Black Network was a series of syndicated news stories and

159
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.399
articles and programs that would be sent out to black

160
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.120
radio stations across the country. My dad gets pulled over

161
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.279
by a cop and the cop is a really deep voice.

162
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.639
He's in the middle of getting a ticket. My dad goes, yeah, man,

163
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.360
you have a nice voice. You should be on the radio.

164
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.160
You should be out here doing this. And my dad

165
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.279
gave the cop his card. That cop Don Cornelius, Officer

166
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.399
Don Cornelius of the Chicago PD. He'd only been a

167
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.680
cop for a year. He quit. He started working at

168
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.600
a radio station as reporter, got an inch for the

169
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.199
media and came up with an idea for a show,

170
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.959
Soul Trained. He goes up to my father goes, hey, man,

171
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.159
I'm taking up money if you want to be an

172
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.879
investor in the show. Roy says, my pops gave Don

173
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.799
Cornelius some of the money to shoot the pilot for

174
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.840
Soul Trained. My dad gave maybe, like, let's say it's

175
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.080
a thousand dollars, which is a good jillion billion dollars

176
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.799
in nineteen eighty six. And once the show started, my

177
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.720
dad goes, hey, don I need that money, man, and

178
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.639
Don goes, instead of giving your money back, why don't

179
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.960
keep you on as a producer. You can be an

180
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.799
executive producer for the rest of your life, to which

181
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.519
my dad said, nobody wants to watch black people dance.

182
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.080
Give me my money. Don paid him back. My father

183
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.679
took the money, signed away his rights to any claims

184
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.039
of the Soul Train empire. And that was that. Wow.

185
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.759
A lot more here from Roy Wood, But I'll push

186
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.879
that into the weekend as well, because that's an awesome story.

187
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.879
You and always go out on top, all right. Johnny

188
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.120
Mac feels bad. You know, I'm on here and I'm like, hey, guys,

189
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.600
buy me a coffee. Come on, buy me a coffee.

190
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.720
Will you buy me a coffee? And then poor Avon

191
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.879
goes and buys me not one, but two coffees, And

192
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.039
do I thank her on the show?

193
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:26.399
No?

194
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.840
You think I thank her on the show. I didn't.

195
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.919
I'm sorry, Ivon. I appreciate you. Thank you for buying

196
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.080
me two coffees by going to buy me a coffee

197
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.480
dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Now to be fair

198
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.279
when you do buy me a coffee. I got a

199
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.320
note in my inbox and Avon shot me note. She's like, hey,

200
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:44.720
you know, did you get the coffee? Is what's going on?

201
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.320
Like friendly, not like being excuse me, me being trick or anything.

202
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.159
She just want to make sure that you know some

203
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.320
scammer she does want, like Nigerian scammers getting the coffee

204
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.279
she intended for me. So I looked and this had

205
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.440
happened while I was in Antarctica, so I missed the email.

206
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.039
So Evon thank you and I apologize. But anyway, you

207
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.480
can go to buy me coffee dot com slash Daily

208
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.519
Common News. Look at this, I almost have like forty

209
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.159
percent of this one left today. I will take your money.

210
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.080
I will drive to the National Dome chain where I've

211
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.039
already pre ordered because I'm not gonna talk to anybody.

212
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.480
It's twenty twenty five. I've got apps and reward points

213
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.759
and stuff, and I have a ready clicked large iced coffee,

214
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.960
caramel milk. I go in and I get it, and

215
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.879
I get back in and then I pat my dog.

216
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.879
My dog's been coming for ride. And I don't want

217
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.440
letters from people to be like you look your dog

218
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.159
on the corder. It's twenty seconds, dude, Relax, dog likes

219
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.000
coming in the morning. Bill Hayter spoke to K'SLA about

220
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.639
the La fires. Oh, I better reset here and get

221
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.919
the cause. I just laughed a little, But this story's

222
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.759
not funny and all. Bill Hater's home was destroyed in

223
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.080
the fires, he told KTLA. People keep saying unreal. It

224
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.720
doesn't seem real. I'm sorry. I'm in shock. Just gone

225
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.399
everything Alphabet streets, which is to me, kind of the

226
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.120
heart of the Palisades. This beautiful, beautiful area is gone.

227
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.080
The whole thing is gone. I got a video showing

228
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.480
the fire and rush back, but by the time I

229
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.039
got back it was gridlock traffic. I'm glad I got

230
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.120
my family out during this city evacuation. Men's Health was

231
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.919
concerned about Jay Leno's car collection. Jay's been out and

232
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.000
about volunteering. Men's Health happily reports Jay's car collection appears

233
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.639
to be safe. Most of his vehicles are stored in

234
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.360
an empty aircraft hangar at Hollywood Birdbank Airport. Interesting. How

235
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.960
much does that cost a rent? And I didn't know this.

236
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.720
Jay's got another estate in Newport, Rhode Island that he

237
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.399
bought in twenty seventeen for thirteen and a half million dollars.

238
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.440
Jay hanging out in Rhode Island. Interesting? And if Fox

239
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.720
News apparently doesn't get the Tim Dillon podcast, they reported

240
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.279
on what Tim Dillon said about the fires on Monday's episode.

241
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.919
I listen to that episode was very funny. If you

242
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.240
listen to Tim Dillon, He's not serious about anything. He's

243
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.919
just riffing jokes. But Fox posted this as if it

244
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.279
was news. Ridiculous. David Spade has offered five thousand dollars

245
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.200
to anyone who successfully catches and reports arseness in La Spade.

246
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.720
I appreciate it, but five thousand dollars in David Spade

247
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.200
money is like buying me a coffee. Could we up

248
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.759
that prize a little, dude? I mean, Daily Comedy News

249
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.480
can almost afford a five thousand dollars prize. But anyway,

250
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:06.960
his heart's in the right place. He says, I'm out

251
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.559
in California and people are saying there's guys lighting fires

252
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.919
out there making this stuff worse. So if you can

253
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.120
find someone lighting a fire, and you catch somebody and

254
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.759
you get the cops to bust them and throw them

255
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.440
in jail, I'll give you five thousand dollars. So keep

256
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.679
your eyes peeled, do what you can do out there.

257
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.080
As I went to record the show today, I see

258
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.759
Bob Yucker has passed away, age ninety. Let me see

259
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.519
if I can do a quick bio on the fly.

260
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.639
On Thursday morning, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that Bob had

261
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.240
passed away aged ninety, calling it one of the most

262
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.879
difficult days in Milwaukee Brewers' history. Yucker's family said he

263
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.200
had battled small cell lung cancer since early twenty twenty three.

264
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.159
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Bob Yucker was a beloved

265
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.559
member of the baseball community. On the comedy side, Uker

266
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.519
got his big break opening for Don Rickles in an

267
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.000
Atlanta nightclub in nineteen sixty nine. That got him on

268
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.480
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He did The Carson

269
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.240
Tonight Show more than one hundred times. Carson dubbed Bob

270
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:04.360
Buker mister baseball people. My age definitely remember Bob Buker

271
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.120
from the Miller Lite commercials. Those were fantastic. Bob starred

272
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.039
in the ABC sitcom Mister Belvedere that ran six years

273
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.480
and one hundred and twenty two episodes. He played the

274
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.080
head of the family and a sports writer and a

275
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.240
home that brings it a butler. The butler struggles to

276
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.600
adapt to an American household. Bob also played an announcer

277
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.960
in the movies Major League and Major League two. He

278
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.159
played Harry Doyle and you may remember the famous quote,

279
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.279
just a bit outside. Bob Buker was ninety and that

280
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.240
is your comedy news for today. Larry the Cable Guy.

281
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.519
Tomorrow see then,
