Johnny Mac delivers a sequel to his Oscars recap, focusing on Conan O’Brien’s hosting: Variety quotes Disney TV exec Rob Mills calling Conan “host for life,” details producers’ notes on bits (Leonardo DiCaprio’s meme moment was not pre-briefed; Matt Berry announced from London), and mentions an end sketch parodying Best Picture winner “One Battle After Another” with no alternate endings. He contrasts tabloid criticism (Daily Mail, Radar Online) with praise from The Times and Nikki Glaser, and notes Ricky Gervais tweeted “F that” about hosting. He recounts Oscars snack boxes and Conan’s note, reports fake anti-Trump/anti-Elon posters from “Everyone Hates Elon,” and a White House tweet attacking Jimmy Kimmel after a joke implying Trump. He shares Conan’s Ireland immigration story, plugs Mark Normand’s Netflix special, and covers stories on Bert Kreischer, David Nihill, and Maggie Winters.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.519
daily comedy news at daily briefing on stand up comedy,

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.480
comedians and the comedy industry. A sentence I forgot to

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.600
say when I recorded the Oscar Show Sunday Night. Today

5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.160
is a sequel to Monday's Oscars recap, same kind of note.

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:28.120
I'm gonna slow down a little bit and just take

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.760
my time with the stories. Part of it is I'm

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:33.600
a little bit tired. It took me a long time

9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.000
to put together this show and also Palace Intrigue, the

10
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.920
Royal Family show that I work on, and plus Sunday Night.

11
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.159
I never really dialed down because I was keeping notes

12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.600
on the Oscars. Then recorded the show and with all

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.799
the clips in there, it took me over an hour

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.960
on the edit and I was laughing at one point

15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.159
the file was finally ready to be uploaded after post

16
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.799
processing and all the stuff I do that I won't

17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.880
bore you with. There was sixteen seconds left and I

18
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.880
think it was a three point Nicks game, and they

19
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.600
were announcing Best Film at the Academy Awards. I'm like,

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.120
why does all this have to happen at once? So

21
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.680
I uploaded the file watch best Picture, and then got

22
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.079
to enjoy the last six point two seconds of the

23
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.159
next game and the next one Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

24
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.920
So there's a lot of news. I've already got a

25
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.879
full show for tomorrow. Some stuff we're not going to

26
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.640
get to today. The New York Times wrote an article

27
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.799
about comedians and the Epstein Files. Do I have your

28
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.040
attention yet? Yeah, let's see. The Daily Show seems to

29
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.400
be a beef with Saturday Night Live. That's fun. I

30
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.040
don't have time today to get into Sebastian Maniscalco and

31
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.319
Marcelo Hernandez. I don't have time to get into the

32
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.280
SNL Sucker Carlson impression. We'll do that tomorrow. I don't

33
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.879
have time to tell you that Tina Fey is going

34
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.439
to host SNL UK this weekend. I don't have time

35
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.480
to tell you Bert Krascher got a season two of

36
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.719
Free Birt because we got to talk about the Oscars

37
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.560
and Conan O'Brien. I thought Conan was fantastic, and the

38
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.359
Internet seems to disagree at points. We'll get into that

39
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.920
as well real quick. If you can't get enough Conan,

40
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.319
Bill Carter interviewed Conan on Late Night Er and I

41
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.719
love that podcast because you got serious Conan. So it

42
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.000
was a real discussion, which was great. And then I

43
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.959
was in a Conan mood and I tried to check

44
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.759
out Conan on The Kelsey Brothers. Look, I know that

45
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.120
show does well, but as I tell my college students,

46
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.759
if you want to have a successful podcast, date Taylor Swift.

47
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.120
Jason Kelsey has media skills. Travis Kelsey is awful at

48
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.360
this and write this down. When he does retire from football,

49
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.960
he will get a TV job and he's going to

50
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.319
be terrible at it. I couldn't even listen to the

51
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.719
Conan interview. He's one of those people that can't get

52
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.639
through an fing sentence without you know F and Curson

53
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.360
you know F and it's just, dude, what are you doing?

54
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.840
Learn how to broadcast? And again, millionaire dating a billionaire.

55
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.879
I'm a dude in a basement. I'm a loser. He's

56
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.960
got Super Bowl rings, I get it, but he's not

57
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.879
good at broadcasting. On to the Oscars, Variety had a

58
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.919
really nice piece they caught up with the producers. One

59
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.680
of the questions is is Conan coming back now? They

60
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.280
didn't say that specifically, but Walt Disney Television's Rob Mills,

61
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.680
who's the executive vice president, told Variety on Monday morning,

62
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.479
Conan is host for life. Yes, he hasn't even accepted yet.

63
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.520
He's just being told. We're assuming that was not a

64
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.199
comedy bit. We're going to treat it as if that

65
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.800
was fact. Conan had joked during the telecast he would

66
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400
continue to host the show until went to YouTube, and

67
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.400
mister Beast takes over was one of the versions of

68
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.840
that joke. Mills said, sometimes these jobs are like fantasy camp,

69
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.120
and it'd be working with Conan is always incredible. I

70
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.039
remember those, and he's referring to the big produced open here.

71
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.080
I remember those when he had special occasions or when

72
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.879
he hosted things like the Emmy's. He'd make these films

73
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.960
and they were great. When it was the tenth anniversary

74
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:28.439
of Late Night, he did one of those where he

75
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.439
ran into the streets of New York and literally everyone's

76
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.280
following him. Was sort of similar to this bit. He's

77
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.280
always done these films that are great and not also

78
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.319
sort of reminded me of what Billy Crystal used to do,

79
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.520
so it was great. It felt distinctly Conan but also

80
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.240
distinctly Oscar. I think that's fair. Next question, did Leonardo

81
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.960
DiCaprio know that he was going to be asked to

82
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.439
be a meme? The answer not at all, So forgive

83
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.199
him for being a little confused on a first on

84
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.360
how to react, but then he still figured out how

85
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.800
to react. How did it work with Matt Barry as

86
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.800
announcer live from London? Why wasn't he in Los Angeles?

87
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.039
Good question? We are told, yes, Matt Barry was in London,

88
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.280
and the technology is now point where there wasn't a delay. Well,

89
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.000
that's impossible. There's still the speed of light. I don't

90
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.759
care what tech you have, there's still the speed of light.

91
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.639
I just asked chat GPT what's the delay on broadcast

92
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.639
from LA to London? The AI says for a live

93
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.199
broadcast signal from Los Angeles to London, delay depends on

94
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.399
the path satellite broadcast is about two hundred and eighty

95
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.399
milliseconds one way, or roughly point five point six seconds

96
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.319
round trip. Why the signal goes up to a geostationary

97
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.040
satellite then back to Earth. If you use fiber transmission,

98
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.079
that cuts the delay to one hundred and twenty milliseconds,

99
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.839
but then encoding and decoding ads time. So a typical

100
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.800
modern IP broadcast delay is point three to one point

101
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.800
five seconds total delay. Now, if that doesn't sound like

102
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.160
a lot, get into my field and try interviewing someone

103
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.079
who's in London while you're in Los Angeles. So you

104
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.680
will notice the delay because it's like talking to somebody

105
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.680
on the moon. You ask a question, there's that slight pause,

106
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.519
they answer, and what happens that you wind up talking

107
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.279
to over each other. So you have to be very

108
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.600
disciplined to not go too fast and make sure the

109
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.519
other person has spoken. And most things like that are

110
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.639
best done not live, so that you can trim all

111
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.680
the things. Tell you we're gonna go slow and get

112
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.800
into the weeds today. Did you stay before the very

113
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.680
end after they said goodbye? There was another sketch spoilers

114
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.040
for the movie One Battle after another. If you haven't

115
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.560
seen it, hold your ears for a second. But the

116
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.240
parody to the final scene from that movie, maybe I'll

117
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.120
just leave it there. Whatever happens at the end of

118
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.279
the movie conan parody that I won't tell you specifically

119
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.360
what happens, so I didn't ruin the movie not spoilers.

120
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.319
But VERI was curious, since One Battle had just won

121
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.920
Best Picture, did Conan film sketches for all of the

122
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.639
films in case something else won Best Picture? We are

123
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.360
told no, there were no alt end of show sketches.

124
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.879
The One Battle parody whatever ran even if Sinners had won. Okay,

125
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.439
but what about the other eight films? Are you saying

126
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.199
the others didn't have a chance? What are you saying there?

127
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.560
And then they asked Mills again, is Conan truly the

128
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.839
host for life? Mills said, as firm as whatever. You

129
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.120
can look up whatever the firm thing is, it's solid

130
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.720
as oak. I hope Conan comes back. Anybody who's been

131
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.480
with a nearshot of me in the last twenty four

132
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:06.959
to thirty six hours by the time you're hearing this.

133
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.680
I believe in having a professional host. I though Kimel

134
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.199
did a good job. I think Trevor Nooda does a

135
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.000
good job. Always give me a pro who can keep

136
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.959
the trains running. That's the gig. If you could be

137
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.680
funny on top of that, even better, keep Conan great.

138
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.560
If ConA gets the flu let camel, do it great.

139
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.160
As I alluded to at the top, some people didn't

140
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.160
like the Oscars with Conan O'Brien the Daily Mail again

141
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.279
UK tabloid, and they tend to be a little caddy.

142
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.879
They wrote, it was supposed to be Hollywood's biggest night,

143
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.639
but between painful monologues from most Conan O'Brien, to boring

144
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.399
results and one distasteful joke about the Holocaust, viewers were

145
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.160
left thoroughly unimpressed by this year's Oscars. Now, as I

146
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.160
read that paragraph, I'm like, what was the Holocaust joke?

147
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.680
And the Daily Mail let's Johnny mcnow come on on,

148
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.879
Gianni spark fury by joking about Schindler's List being renamed

149
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.319
Schindler's Posted and a failed gag about movies being too long?

150
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.399
Is there really outrage about that joke? Really? Oh? Ryan

151
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.120
struggled to rouse the room with awkward jokes about pedal

152
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.560
files and the many awards largely felt at predictable winners.

153
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.560
Then they got into they do this a lot in

154
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.240
the British tabloids. Some social media posts. One person wrote,

155
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.519
the Oscar is a sort of a flop. I DK

156
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.079
conan flop, awkward jokes from presenters, ugly ass stage. Yeah,

157
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.439
I said it only saving this night is a sinner's

158
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.519
best picture. I'm not playing well. Got bad news for you, sir,

159
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.439
or madam. Radar Online headline was rotten humor. Conan O'Brien

160
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.360
slammed over painful twenty twenty six Oscars opening monologue as

161
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.560
host faces several awkward moments of silence. Yep, that's true.

162
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.160
It's a tough room. We've talked about that before this

163
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.680
year's Oscars, after last year's Oscars, before last year's Oscars.

164
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.439
Every year. It's a tough room. We all know that

165
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.560
Conan knew that. Litsten to any interview last week except

166
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.040
the one with the Kelsey Brothers where Travis Kelsey can't

167
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.800
go through one sentence without using an F bomb twice.

168
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.040
Radar Rights. After opening the show with a well received

169
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.759
dig at Timothy Shallimy and the recent backlash over his

170
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.920
controversial comments about ballet and opera, O'Brien seemed to quickly

171
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.600
lose the crowd with an ill received gag linking nominated

172
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.879
movies Hamnett and Pogonia to off brand lunch meat. Had

173
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.279
a little bogonia around tense. Not sitting too well, the

174
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.800
host said, to a muttered reaction. Reading the crowd. O'Brien

175
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:21.040
disappointedly added on the ride home, you'll appreciate it. Later,

176
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.199
he joked that F one received four nominations. F one

177
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.720
did so well that they're making a sequel. Caps lock.

178
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.959
Another muted response, so, O'Brien, confess some of these I

179
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.879
do for myself. Relax, everybody, It was good if you'd

180
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.480
like to hear these jokes. I pulled most of these.

181
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.399
If you didn't listen to Monday's episode, they're all in

182
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.559
the first six minutes or so of Monday's podcast. Radar

183
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.080
Online also pulled online reactions. One person wrote, these Conan

184
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.159
jokes are so bad. Another complained not having a lot

185
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.879
of fun right now. One person lamented, I can't stand

186
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.799
this Conan O'Brien anymore. Rotten humore. Let me count the

187
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.679
o's there in humor one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten,

188
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.320
oh's in humor. A fourth person blasted Conan O'Brien's absolutely

189
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.159
feeble monologue. Several awkward moments of silence from the audience

190
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.200
after the jokes. The Irish star happy Saint Patrick's Day.

191
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.840
They seem to be a little gossipy. They talked about

192
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.279
Conan on the Red carpet, They said, ConA looked dapper

193
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.600
in a classic black seat while he took pictures alongside

194
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.200
his wife, who stunned in a sleeveless dress. The late

195
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.799
night host appeared to oblige photographers and stand for photos,

196
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.720
but quickly was ready to wrap it up amid all

197
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.080
the snaps. When photographers kept calling his name, Conan appeared

198
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.320
to get more antsy after his red carpet pictures came

199
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.200
to close. He reportedly said go away before saying all done,

200
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.840
seeming to be fed up with posing. According to lip

201
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.440
reader n Jay Hickling, I'm not familiar with lip reader

202
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.600
n Jay Hickling, but i have been following comedy for many,

203
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.159
many years. I've never heard any such behavior out of

204
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.440
Conan O'Brien. I've heard things about people. I've never heard

205
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.759
a negative word about Conan O'Brien. I've never heard anyone

206
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.600
no love working with Conan O'Brien for Conan O'Brien, with

207
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.080
Conan O'Brien, So that would surprise me, although if it

208
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.639
did happen, to be fair to ConA O'Brien, he did

209
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.639
kind of have to go inside to host the Oscars,

210
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.279
and you might want to get your head into that space.

211
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.399
This article as well goes to social media. By the way,

212
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.519
sidebar I talked about this, maybe it was on Saturday

213
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.000
Show about how sometimes you just sit down and do

214
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.080
a show and you find a through line. I didn't

215
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.000
set out to do the reads the way that I'm

216
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.000
doing them today, and you kind of stumble into something

217
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.320
that's working and you go with it. That's the beauty

218
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.919
of doing this every day. Sidebar over. Fans on Twitter

219
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.559
were quick to react to Conan's interaction with those photographers.

220
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.519
One wrote, ConA being the most confused man in Hollywood

221
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.200
while simultaneously being the most talented person in every room

222
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.840
he wants into is my favorite gender hashtag oscars. Someone

223
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.840
else wrote, Conan O'Brien looks sharp tonight out of his classic,

224
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:53.440
stylish and totally red carpet. Ready, I just checked the clock.

225
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.320
We have a lot more to do, so this is

226
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.320
going to be break at number one, and before we

227
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.480
do that, if you like the program without commercial diruption,

228
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.399
one thing you can do take out the Apple podcast

229
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.080
app click that batter. It says uninterrupted listening, and then

230
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.879
for five bucks a month, you don't have to deal

231
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.600
with this The L eight Times writes all heil Conan O'Brien,

232
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.039
who could host the Oscars forever, and we wouldn't mind.

233
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.519
They write the question this year, as it is every year,

234
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:19.639
is how this Oscar's night was different from any other

235
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.240
Oscars night. With Conan O'Brien returning his host, the ceremony

236
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.639
was much in the spirit of twenty twenty five, except

237
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.360
this was all at all livelier, funnier show. Not perfect,

238
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.440
of course, as the only program to ever occupy three

239
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.639
hours of television without flagging was Sabato Chagante, But gag wise,

240
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.759
the Oscar Broadcast is fundamentally a comedy with speeches. It's

241
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.080
hit to missus. Ratio was good or better than your

242
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.919
average SNL episode. I think everything about that paragraph is perfect,

243
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.879
and they write and they nailed this too. Conan O'Brien,

244
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.360
whose persona is equal parts madness, sincerity, self love and

245
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.679
self hate, would seem to be a perfect host for

246
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.360
broadcast that needs to take things seriously, but not so

247
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.200
seriously that it alienates anyone who doesn't belong to the

248
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.320
community at cele It's a show that exists both in

249
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.600
the world of Hollywood and the world outside the industry. Well,

250
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.799
well said Nicki Glazer gave the show a review, and

251
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.080
my initial reaction to that was, who asked you? Well?

252
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.440
The answer to who asked Nicki Glazer's e news? But

253
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.240
all right, suddenly we care what Nicki Glazer thinks about

254
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.639
Conan O'Brien hosting the Oscars relaxed Golden Globes host Should

255
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.279
we ask Joe Koy what he thought of Kimmel? Nicki

256
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.480
Glazer was on the Gray carpet at the Vanity Fair

257
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.600
Oscars party aka Hollywood has accepted her. She's now an insider.

258
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.759
This all sounds like I'm shading Nikki. I'm not. I'm

259
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.799
just analyzing the news here. Nicki gave Conan O'Brien an

260
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.720
a plus. She said he killed it last year. I

261
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.279
knew he was gonna kill it again this year. I

262
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.039
got a chance to see his monologue about a week

263
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.320
ago and he got off stage, and I really meant

264
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.679
it when I was like, that's a plus. Changed nothing.

265
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.320
But she did say Coonan did tweak some stuff. She explains,

266
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.960
things come out of the news cycle and they don't

267
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.399
work anymore, so you have to keep updating it. Wait,

268
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.320
two Golden Globes that we're treating her like she's Billy Crystal. Now, Oh,

269
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.759
I'm gonna I'm gonna throw up. He Knews relaxed with this.

270
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.279
The stand up star also compared Conan's work to her

271
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.159
own hosting experience, noting that while the Golden Globes feels

272
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.519
more like a comedy club, Oscar Night is a different

273
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.600
room for comedy than any other. She explains at the

274
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.559
Academy Awards as a comedian, that's a tough room because

275
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.840
they're far away. It's very stuffy. They haven't been drinking,

276
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.759
they haven't been eating. They're hungry, and they're tired, and

277
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.879
they're sober. So it's a hard room to kill in.

278
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.759
Nicky felt. Conan rose to the occasion, adding with that

279
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.360
a play I was like, God, he killed it. Thank you,

280
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.840
Thank you, Nicki Glazer. Ricky Gervase was asked would he

281
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.240
like to host the Oscars. Well, he can't because it's

282
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.399
Conan's job for life. Ricky went on Twitter and responded

283
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.799
to a fan account named the Ricky Gervay's Clips. Fan

284
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.519
account The Ricky Gervay's Clips posted repost if you wish

285
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:53.440
Ricky Gervaise was hosting the Oscars tonight, Jervase himself quote responded, writing,

286
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:58.000
if that you may recall Ricky Gervay's host of the

287
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.960
Golden Globes in twenty ten, twenty eleven to twenty two,

288
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.360
twenty sixteen, and twenty twenty. If you were at the

289
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.440
Oscars you found snack boxes under your seats? Yeah? Hey,

290
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.000
did you catch that? That yeah thing? That is a

291
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.159
total lift from Conan O'Brien that I subconsciously did. I'm

292
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.000
not sure it's subconscious. I might just do it, but

293
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.559
I was listening to the edit and I caught myself

294
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.200
do it. So what Conan will do is he'll say

295
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.440
something like the sky is blue, yeah, scientists say. And

296
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.720
as I was watching the Oscar Sunday night, I saw

297
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.919
him do it. I pulled a clip where Conan does it.

298
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.360
So in a second, I'm gonna play Conan doing it,

299
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.240
and then I'll go back to where we were before.

300
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.080
I jumped in here. But just I heard the yeah move,

301
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:35.759
and I just thought i'd jump in and comment on it.

302
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.519
I was in a movie this year, Yeah, I was

303
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.799
in a movie. If you were at the Oscars you

304
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.879
found snack boxes under your seats? Yeah, Conan O'Brien wrote

305
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.200
a note that was found in your box, which also

306
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.679
included a sketch of Conan O'Brien. The note read, and

307
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.559
I hope you enjoy this Conan O'Brien moderately happy meal

308
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.960
these snacks. It may not look like much, but in

309
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.120
any movie theater that run you eighty five dollars. Good

310
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.919
luck tonight, have fun and remember that loud, enthusiastic laughters

311
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.600
good for your health in my ego. The notes were

312
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.159
addressed to dear nominee Slash plus one slash seat filler

313
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.000
in the box, a bag of popcorn, a bottle of water,

314
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.200
and either Mike and Ikes or Junior Mints. If guests

315
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.159
were hungry, they could go to the lobby to grab

316
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.279
some trail mix, and guests could also snack on dehydrated

317
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.720
vegetables during the ceremony. Apparently, snack boxes have been a

318
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.159
tradition for several years. In twenty twenty four, Jimmy Kimmel

319
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:29.279
provided soft Philly style pretzels. Last year, Conan provided Swedish fish,

320
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.679
a pretzel and water. Hours before the Oscars took place,

321
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.200
some movie posters showed up in Los Angeles. These movie

322
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.759
posters were fake, and they mocked President Trump. Activist group

323
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.600
Everyone Hates Elon posted images across the city. Some of

324
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.519
them spoofed the movie one Battle after another as a template.

325
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.759
The acting credits at the fake movie poster were attributed

326
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.799
to President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of Defense. I'm

327
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.440
not saying Secretary of War because that's not officially the title.

328
00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.200
Despite what the White House says, Secretary of Defense Pete

329
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.840
Hegseth and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Nett Yahoo a

330
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.679
fake quote from Jeffrey Epstein reads a great distraction with

331
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.759
the words from the directors of the Gaza Genocide. On

332
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.840
the fake poster, where you would normally see Leonardo DiCaprio,

333
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.799
the pranksters replaced Leo's face with Trump, scenes of war,

334
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.679
an explosion of fire and smoke, and a war torn city.

335
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.200
A spokesperson for Everyone Hates Elon said, after promising no

336
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:26.840
foreign wars, it turns out Donald Trump wants one battle

337
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.879
after another. The group added spoiler, you already know who

338
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.919
dies in this film, and it's not just the bad guys,

339
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.320
it's American service people and schoolgirls in Iran. The White

340
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.720
House was not happy with Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel was presenting

341
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.159
the award for Best Documentary Feature. At one point he

342
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.440
said the following line. He didn't say who was referring to,

343
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.600
but what Jimmy said was, oh man, he's going to

344
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.320
be mad. His wife wasn't nominated for this. It is

345
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.039
assumed that he would be Donald Trump and his wife

346
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.600
would be Milania, who had a documentary that was not

347
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.960
nominated for Best Documentary Feature. White House Communications director Stephen

348
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.519
Chung fire off a tweet. He shared a clip of

349
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.720
Kimmel's joke and called Jimmy Kimmel a classless hack who

350
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.920
was self projecting his depression and sadness onto others. I'm

351
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.319
not sure I agree with that assessment. The White House

352
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.559
Communications director had more to say about Jimmy kim Well,

353
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.039
writing he lives a pathetic existence where nobody, not even

354
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.599
his family, enjoys his miserable company. The only people giving

355
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.799
him any attention are Hollywood elites, and then all caps

356
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.279
bye bye. At the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel spoke to Variety

357
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.359
and said he was exhausted by having a comment on

358
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.759
the President on a show each night. Kimmell said, we

359
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.680
live in a ridiculous country. We always lived in a

360
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.400
ridiculous country, but it was always ridiculous in a fun

361
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.319
mister T kind of way. Meeting the guy from the

362
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.960
A team in Rocky three, Kimmell said, now we've got

363
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.440
a different mister T. Ver Dawes was on Instagram, he

364
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.079
answered a not asked question why does an India do

365
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.200
a Gervais or even a Conan style hosting of a

366
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.599
major film awards? Well as someone who wrote the script

367
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.079
from many Indian awards for five years, Here's why. The

368
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.200
point of having comedian host en roast the Oscars or

369
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.559
Film Awards is that for night a jester would humanize

370
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.640
the most beautiful chosen people in the world since they

371
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.000
were being celebrated already. That's what any joke is a

372
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.559
punch up here, meaning India story goes won't take a

373
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:14.880
joke from anyone not at their level. Ironically, the big

374
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.839
of the star who hosts the trigger it's gonna be

375
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.200
because like three people are at that level. So a

376
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.519
huge star hosting works for the people in the room,

377
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.680
just not always funny for the people watching, simply because

378
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.119
the power balance is off. Since it is Saint Patrick's day,

379
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.680
I do want to get this story in. We'll clear

380
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.039
this out. Conan was on Kimmel last week and shared

381
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.640
how a recent trip to Ireland and the story of

382
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.200
his great grandfather gave him a new perspective on immigration.

383
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.680
One year ago today, I was in Dublin at the

384
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.839
Saint Patrick's Day Parade. It was fantastic. They are much

385
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:46.599
better at the Saint Patrick's Day Parade than the New

386
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.680
York City one. Love it from New York, but it's

387
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.799
just cops and firemen and bagpipes and more cops and

388
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.160
more firemen and more cops and more bagpipes. The one

389
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.119
in Dublin is more like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It

390
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.599
was tons of fun with like really cool floats. I

391
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.119
digress and the show's long enough. Freddy today, John, get

392
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.119
to it, okay. Coda O'Brian said, I went back to

393
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.759
Ireland and I saw a great genealogist who said, I

394
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.160
found where your great grandfather's home was. No home is gone,

395
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.920
but he found the little spot where he lived near

396
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.640
the Gallbali Mountains. He said, I'll go there and I'll

397
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.200
show it to you, and I said, we'll do it

398
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.720
on camera. Conan said, I was expecting have these jokes

399
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.440
loaded up, we had props and funny things we were

400
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.720
going to do. But I got there and I didn't

401
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.559
expect this because I'm not someone who wears my emotions

402
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.640
on my sleeve. But I got emotional. It was very powerful.

403
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.880
There was this very small plot of land. He was

404
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.279
a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money,

405
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.960
and he needed to move on because it wasn't working,

406
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.119
probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain, so he left

407
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.880
and went to America and here I am a couple

408
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.559
generations later. What's amazing to me is when you have

409
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.279
that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy

410
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:43.839
for people who have immigrated to another country. Takes an

411
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.680
entire lifetime to go to a country where often people

412
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.640
don't speak the language. They have to spend their entire

413
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.400
lives just getting things started for the next generation. It's

414
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.559
a whole lifetime that you're feeding into the process. I

415
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.440
was just thinking about this guy whom I'll never meet,

416
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.400
who had to do that. I think he was overcome

417
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.759
by the fact that there's a lot of sadness, and

418
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:02.079
that's story, and a lot of these stories people leave

419
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.720
not because they think, Hey, I just want to go

420
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.680
a fun in America. They leave because they have to.

421
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.160
We're coming up. Mark Norman has a special out today.

422
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.039
We are long enough today. Boy, some other time, I'll

423
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.960
tell you about when I went up to Belfast. It

424
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839
was really, really emotionally moving, and the Conin story just

425
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.920
reminded me that also on my mind. Michael B. Jordan

426
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.319
going to In and Out Burger after the Oscars ball

427
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.359
or move love it. In and Out is fantastic. I

428
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.960
got a nice note on the side from one of

429
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.319
the listeners, and this note really really means a lot

430
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.839
to me. The gist of the note was this person

431
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.559
listens to the program every morning and finds it a

432
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.720
nice distraction from the news, maybe not that story I

433
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.160
did about the fake billboards, but finds it a nice

434
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.519
distraction from the news, and thanked me for doing the

435
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.200
show every day. And look, guys, this show is nothing.

436
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.079
This is just a lunatic rambling in the basement about

437
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.519
Adam Sandler unless you guys actually listen to it. So

438
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.160
I really truly appreciate that you listen, and I love

439
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.079
getting notes from that. I'm not asking everyone to write

440
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.000
a note, but I do those notes mean a lot

441
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.640
to me? And I think the big takeaway for me

442
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.920
is what I'm going for is nice enough guy, mildly amusing,

443
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.559
easy on the ears. That's all the shows really designed

444
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:16.000
to be, you know, ten, twelve, fifteen, or today thirty minutes,

445
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:18.119
you know, help kill the morning commute or however your

446
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.720
reason today, And again I appreciate it. I also forgot

447
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.319
to pull. I got a nice note apparently I mispronounced

448
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.200
the way you're supposed to say the name of a

449
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.440
fish in the Steve Harvey story from over the weekend.

450
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:31.240
Got a nice note on Facebook about that. I'll try

451
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.400
and remember to put that in tomorrow. But I'm not

452
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.960
being a jerk. It was a nice note. It was

453
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.720
well phrased. Was like, hey, man, just want to let

454
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.640
you know, and I was like, okay again, kid from

455
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.279
Queen's I don't know too much. Mark Norman has a

456
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.759
special out today. There was a point where this was

457
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:48.319
the lead story today's script. But here we are like

458
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.400
a half hour in titled none Too Please. It's on Netflix.

459
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.559
Filmed at the Boulder Theater in Boulder, Colorado. Mark Norman

460
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.759
turns married life, fatherhood not button topics. It's too rapid

461
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.039
fire punch lines and this witty free for all or

462
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.599
nothing is off limits. Mark said, actually got caught going

463
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.440
a strip club recently by my wife, but on how

464
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.400
she caught me, I only talked about it on four podcasts.

465
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.480
That's in the trailer. I'm excited for this one. Mark

466
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:16.119
spit around for a bit. Now not a household name.

467
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.000
Good looking guy hangs out with the comedians who can

468
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.880
accelerate his career. Joe Rogan, boy, you know everything is

469
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.680
timing and maybe this one on Netflix will just really

470
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:31.319
really pop. Mentioned yesterday about Bert Krasier's tour bus fire.

471
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.279
The subreddit dedicated to the podcast Your Mom's House had

472
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:39.400
some fun with it. These comments are amazing. One person wrote,

473
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:41.720
now Bert has a second story to tell that is

474
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.160
just amazing. Drop the MIC's or nothing's going to top

475
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.119
that other people tried. One wrote, hopefully this tragedy doesn't

476
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.240
make them become an alcoholic for the last twenty years.

477
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.319
Another said you have to question if Bert did this

478
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:54.160
on purpose to make a headline. That's how much of

479
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.119
an attention where he is. I do find it interesting

480
00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.880
that the fire happened and then a couple hours later

481
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.279
Netflix announced he got a season two of Free Bird.

482
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.480
I'm not saying those things are related. Mark Norman with

483
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:07.359
a really good line. Yes, the same Mark Norman with

484
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.079
the special out Today, Mark Norman wrote something can stop

485
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:13.160
the machine creat line. Tim Dillon chimed in. He wrote,

486
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.400
of the wreckage looks like a photo of downtown Austin. Boy,

487
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.079
I've got stories I can't even bump today. It's Saint

488
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.640
Patrick's day. If I don't do this one now, when

489
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.640
are you gonna do it? From The La Times, irishman

490
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.799
David Nil feared public speaking before he found stand up.

491
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:30.000
Now he won't stop talking. David's special Cultural Appreciation is

492
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.200
two and a half million views on YouTube, but he

493
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.680
said I wouldn't even call mine comedy specials. I don't

494
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:36.200
know how to do performance, but I don't know how

495
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.440
to talk. Growing up in Ireland, he struggled to learn

496
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.440
he is dyslexia. I said, I came in the lowest

497
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.359
five percent tile in the whole country of Ireland for

498
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.039
spelling and I didn't even spell my name right on

499
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.359
the test. His father offered to buy him a Super

500
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.480
Nintendo for certain math scores. David didn't get those scores.

501
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.880
Dad bought it for him anyway, and then David sold it.

502
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:57.079
Bought myself a motorcycle even though I was fifteen and

503
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.799
not legally old enough to drive. As an ireland your

504
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:03.039
nature is just a default of funny stories, he says.

505
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.240
American stand ups about taking a topic and make it

506
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.759
funny for five minutes. Irish comedians say this thing happened

507
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:10.160
to me, and I think that's funny. Let me just

508
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.039
repeat it, he says. He prefers telling stories to just

509
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:16.119
a few people. That's interesting and I love this too.

510
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.920
He says, with comedy, the best part for me is

511
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.960
that before show, I eat half a chocolate bar and

512
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.079
I leave the other half in the hotel room. After

513
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.480
the show, I get to finish it. That's true happiness.

514
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.960
I also can't bump this story about Maggie Winters. She's

515
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.920
got a special out today on YouTube. It's called Margarite.

516
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.759
It includes Maggie Winter's performing stand up from her bedroom,

517
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.000
as well as other videos and bits. She explained, I

518
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:39.880
did improv for about five years, and at the time

519
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:41.440
of my life, I was scared of stand up. I

520
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:43.119
never actually thought I would do it, so I'm shocked

521
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.480
that I'm here today. The theme of the special. It

522
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.480
started as a joke but is fully The theme is Live, Laugh, Love.

523
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.079
I talk about my life, I talk about my laugh

524
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.839
and I talk about my love. The show is in

525
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.039
three sections. One of the jokes is about all Irish

526
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.359
Americans landed here, so now it's people who have the

527
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:00.960
Irish flag tattoo but have never set foot in Ireland.

528
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.400
And that is a very long daily comedy use today.

529
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.799
Did you see why we didn't get into Sebastian Menascalgo

530
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.119
and Marcelo Hernandez and snl UK and the New York

531
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.160
Times writing about comedy and the Epstein Files. We had

532
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.720
a lot to do tomorrow, but that's enough for now.

533
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:17.559
Appreciate you see tomorrow.
