00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.640
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.640
and boy, things are not going my way way? Do
4
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.359
you hear the leadoff story on Monday's episode? It involves
5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.280
David Letterman and boy who this one hurt today? I'm
6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.000
swimming upstream against this whole Jim Gaffigan bourbon thing. The
7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.039
last time I checked his bourbon set on YouTube had
8
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.679
over one point five million views. It's probably a two
9
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.479
or three million by the time you're hearing this, And uh, boy,
10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.799
I lasted five and a half minutes, and I'm like,
11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.159
I think Jim Gaffigan is just getting by in reputation.
12
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.240
But people are clicking on this thing. It's got, you know,
13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.600
a million and a half plus views, so it's obviously successful.
14
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.119
And the legend of Jim Gaffick and continues. And okay, everybody,
15
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.200
he was on the Today Show and spoke about his
16
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.439
bourbon obsession father time.
17
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:02.479
It's very important. I'm out there support fathers the liquid
18
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.040
that every father needs because I believe fathers are underappreciated.
19
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:06.560
I do.
20
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.879
What is it about bourbon?
21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.040
Bourbon is It's probably the most important invention of Jesus's
22
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.560
and it is. There's something I love about bourbon, all
23
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.159
the elements. I love the bourbon community. I love how
24
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.879
it be a community. There's you know, Alan I we've
25
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.480
bonded over this. It allows men to get together, and
26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.519
men need that. Men are kind of socially inept and
27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.239
they need.
28
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.920
Some bourbon that brings men together.
29
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.400
I mean, I think some of it is it's alcohol.
30
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.920
I'll tell you well, you should watch is Kevin Hort
31
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.879
special on Netflix that is the second best special of
32
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.439
the year, behind only Mark Marin Special and to end
33
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.560
just funny. You should watch it. I did have it
34
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.439
in my nose for the holiday weekend, and there has
35
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.760
been a lot of news. I did want to talk
36
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.400
about the Eddie Murphy documentary a little bit, just about
37
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.560
the idea of the return of Eddie Murphy to end up.
38
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.120
And I can't see a scenario where it goes well
39
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.879
because younger people will be like, what's the big deal
40
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.080
about this guy? Us? Old people like me. His delirious
41
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.520
in particular delirious and raw, but Delirious in particular is
42
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.560
built up so much in our minds. And I could
43
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.960
probably do half of Delirious off the top of my
44
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.719
head right now. If I had to that, my brain
45
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.039
would be looking for, like so much of an endorphin
46
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.159
hit that as soon as I saw Eddie Murphy doing
47
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.919
stand up, I don't think he could possibly live up
48
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.919
to what my mind would need it to be. If
49
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.840
he does his old style act, you know the taglines
50
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.000
to the setup, mister Murphy, you have aids. If he
51
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.879
does that, he gets canceled. If he doesn't do that, well,
52
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.199
Eddie Murphy's woke and he's gone soft. I don't think
53
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.680
he can win. There's such a thin line there. I
54
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.879
don't think he should return to his stand up comedy
55
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.960
at this point. It's been way too long. Eddie Murphy
56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.960
will receive the AFI Life Achievement Award, America's highest honor
57
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.800
for a career in film. This announced by the American
58
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.560
Film Institute's Board of Trustees. Murphy will be honored at
59
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.560
a gala on April eighteenth. That should make for some
60
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:11.840
good content two weeks after turning sixty five, which seems impossible.
61
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.120
Kathleen Kennedy, you know her from Star Wars, She said.
62
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.240
Eddie Murphy is an American iconic, a trailblazing force in
63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.919
the arts of film, television, and stand up comedy. His
64
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.319
versatility knows no bounds cross five decades, is enduring impact
65
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.800
on our culture as inspired artists and audience is alike,
66
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.240
and AFI is brought to honor him with the fifty
67
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.479
first AFI Lifetime Achievement Award. Previous winners I won't read
68
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.439
all fifty, but some big names here, john Ford, Jimmy Cagney,
69
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.879
Orson Wells, Betty Davis, Henry Fonda, Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire,
70
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.680
Frank Capra. In more modern times and by modern n I
71
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.879
mean nineteen ninety four, Jack Nicholson, Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Scorsese,
72
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.879
Robert Wise, who, of course directed Star Trek, the motion picture,
73
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.240
which December seventh is the anniversary. Are you going to
74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.439
watch the film on December seventh like you do every year?
75
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.719
Like I do? Yes, of course you are. You're not crazy.
76
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.759
Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, to Nero, Meryl Streep, George Lucas, Connery, Paccino, Clooney,
77
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.000
Denzel and last year Francis Ford Coppla A nice company
78
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.319
for Eddie Murphy The New York Times, and Christina Sikova wrote,
79
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.519
Adam Sandler is the light we need yes, Adam Sandler. Uh, oh,
80
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.079
what's this gonna be? Christina says, when I bought tickets
81
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.319
for my dad and I to see Adam Sandler live
82
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.639
at the United Senate of Chicago, I worried it was
83
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.160
a gamble. My dad's a saidlor guy, but not a
84
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.319
live events guy. You may think of mister Sandler most
85
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.480
readily as that goof who sang the Honkkah song, or
86
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.800
the one who played in during Manchild characters like Happy
87
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.759
Gilmore Billy Madison even in middle age. After a successful
88
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.199
forty year career, Sandler inexplicably got the Mark Twain Prize
89
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.800
for American Humor. How's that possible? That's the thing that happened.
90
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.480
I've got a bulletin board up here in the studio
91
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.839
where it says Amy Schumer hosted the Oscars once. I'm
92
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.639
gonna write below that Adam Sandler won the Mark Twain
93
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.879
Prize for Humor. Both those facts seem impossible to me.
94
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:57.879
I'm just gonna stare at them as I record the podcast.
95
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.040
Christina writes. The Sandman appears now kind of a schlob icon,
96
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.920
known for wearing Bloomer sweats, basketball sneakers and a scruffy
97
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.800
beard he once described as black and gray cornflakes stuck
98
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.439
to his face. Christina writes, at his best, he's slantedly,
99
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.560
chrimming and delightfully fabulous. Yes, he leans into elude pose occasionally,
100
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.879
but dirty jokes had never been a whole story with him,
101
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.319
and that's why I believe he's such a salve at
102
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.680
his core. It's so clear that he has heart. Christina writs,
103
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.519
before we found our seats, my dad asked if there
104
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.560
was much profanity in mister Sandler's stand up. Yeah, I'd said,
105
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.000
but not much sex. After mister Sandler reeled off one
106
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.040
of his cruder jokes near the beginning of the show,
107
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.680
I cringed. Then in my peripheral vision, I saw my
108
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.680
dad belly laughing. As I scanned the enormous crowd, No
109
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.240
one among us seemed uncomfortable. In fact, what I saw
110
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.360
was relief. Maybe they were relieved that the show was
111
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.839
almost over. Who knows. I'd have to check. By the way,
112
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.439
big announcement on this podcast tomorrow. If you've been in
113
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.160
the Facebook group, you know what it is. But big, big, big, huge,
114
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.600
tremendous announcement tomorrow. Colin jo Justin Michael Chay were on
115
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.160
the Manning Cast on Monday Night Football as the San
116
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.600
Francisco forty nine ers crushed the Carolina Panthers as they
117
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.759
always do. Peyton Manning asked each of them to name
118
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.759
their dream pick for a future SNL host. Michael Jay
119
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.959
said Denzel Washington. I think Denzel, of all the great
120
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.720
movies he's done, we so rarely got to see him
121
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.560
just be funny and silly. I would love to see
122
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.560
Denzel hosted fun fact, when I graduated Fordham University, our
123
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.360
celebrity speaker was some random actor that nobody cared about,
124
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.560
this guy Denzel Washington, and we all like, we didn't
125
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.000
play on our phones. We didn't have phones yet, but
126
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.920
we all kind of zoned out. Oops. Colin Jost went
127
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.600
with Tiger Woods Huge. I would love it. That's a
128
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.439
terrible pick, Colin Jost. Jost added, I'd also love if
129
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.240
Michael Jordan ever came back now that he's doing some
130
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.120
broadcast stuff for the NBA, and that would be such
131
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.920
a cool one For his third pick. Joe said Steph Curry.
132
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.600
I think Steph's never done it. Maybe it's the right
133
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.000
timing for him to do it. It's the hardest with
134
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.439
the NBA because I always have to be the first
135
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.839
show of the year. They can't do it. You can't
136
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.399
say President Trump isn't getting things done. Now. He and
137
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.480
I don't agree on all the issues, and we'll talk
138
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.439
about one of those issues tomorrow on which we do agree,
139
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.040
But you can't say the man doesn't get things done.
140
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.199
I told you the other day he wanted them to
141
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.720
make Rush Hour four. Well, Paramount Pictures has agreed they're
142
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.279
gonna work on Rush Hour four. Both Deadline and Variety
143
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.800
reporting Paramount Pictures will distribute the Brett Radner directed sequel
144
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.160
on behalf of Warner Brothers. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker
145
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.560
expected to return for Rush Hour four. By the way,
146
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.759
pay no attention that Paramount is trying to buy Warner
147
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.199
Brothers and they need the government to approve it. Pay
148
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.120
no attention to any of that. The President just wants
149
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.319
to see Rush Hour four, and the guys at Paramount
150
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.480
are like, that's a great idea, sir. If the President
151
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.360
wants to impress me, let's do something about Star Trek
152
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.639
and Paton Oswald helping to ruin it. Okay, and of
153
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.000
course make twelve thirty great again. We'll get into that tomorrow.
154
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.240
Jay Leno says ticket sales for his stand up shows
155
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.639
went up almost thirty percent when he made this one change,
156
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.759
says the clickbait headline. Jay was on The Today Show
157
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.519
and said, I'd take politics out of it. I noticed
158
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.319
ticket sales are up twenty thirty per cent, just because
159
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.600
nobody wants to be lectured. When you're on a TV
160
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.279
and you can play directly in your audience and there's
161
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.360
a laugh track. When you go to Indiana or Kentucky
162
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:00.879
or any of the place the country, you're always gonna
163
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.399
have a third of the people don't agree with you politically,
164
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.920
So why even go there. I don't know, Jay, Maybe
165
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.279
you believe in something. I don't know. I'm not a
166
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.160
stand up comedian. I'm a guy in a basement doing
167
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.480
a podcast. Hoda asked Jay Leno if the current political
168
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.160
landscape made comedy more of a challenge. Jay Leno said,
169
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.480
I don't think it's sending tricker. We always said tough times.
170
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.319
Stuff that used to be the lost now against the law,
171
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.720
and that's great. Ultimately, it's a bit like a donkey.
172
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.160
Sometimes you got him in the head with a two
173
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.439
by four to get its attention, but eventually it'll listen.
174
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.120
The folks at Billboard recommended some comedy specials for you too,
175
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.279
stream if you've got some time left on this weekend.
176
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.159
A lot of football again today, I mean so much
177
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.879
football this weekend. In in olden times, Thanksgiving weekend would be
178
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.600
like when I would catch up on movies, or my
179
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.399
family would binge like The Fast and the Furious movies.
180
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.799
Now there's just like constant football. There's no time to
181
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.559
watch anything but football. They really liked Michelle Wolfe's The
182
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.960
Well and add While Frankie Kenyunias, Damn That's Crazy isn't
183
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.240
exactly his debut special, it might as well be, since
184
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.159
twenty twenty one's HBO half hour Super Homies had its
185
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.200
flow broken up by sketches. They liked. Adam Palace is
186
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.240
an intimate evening with Adam Palley the idea behind the
187
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.759
scenes for an evening of cover songs strung together with
188
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.240
stories and jokes, Except most of the songs don't clear licensing,
189
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.840
and the stories may or may not be true. You'll
190
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.279
find that on HBO. Frankie Conunius on Hulu again. You
191
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.960
you have to decide is Frankie Conunius Worth supporting fascism.
192
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.320
Maybe he'll eventually release a special on DVD and you
193
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.879
can watch it that way. Leslie Jones Life Part Two
194
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.360
is on Peacock. Michelle Wolf's The Well is on Netflix.
195
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:33.039
The New York Times profiled Verer DAEs. They caught him boxing.
196
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.200
Ver Das said, this is the most terrifying thing I've
197
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.720
ever done. He clarified, working out in front of The
198
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.879
New York Times. Mister Dawes explained, it's nice to be
199
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.399
out of breath at a little bruised. It's good prep
200
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.320
for adversity. The Time says each line follows more or
201
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.679
less the same format and example. I come from in
202
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.120
India that has the largest working population under thirty on
203
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.120
the planet, but still listens to seventy five year old
204
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.159
leaders with one hundred and fifty year old ideas. Another example,
205
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.720
I come from in India, where we take pride in
206
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.720
being vegetarians and yet run over the farmers who grow vegetables.
207
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.679
They then quoted the joke that got him in some trouble.
208
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.679
I'm not going to quote it here because it's just
209
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.320
not what I do. But they point out that Vieri
210
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.279
didn't think much of posting the joke at the time.
211
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.240
He posted the video on YouTube and then headed to
212
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.720
New York with his wife to attend the International Emmy Awards.
213
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.960
By the time he got back to Mumbai, there was
214
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.159
a chance he could be arrested. Vier explains, my v's like, yeah,
215
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.159
we'll see what happens. So she's on standby, and then
216
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.799
I have the conversation with my wife, you know, like
217
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.759
if I get arrested, this is where all the money is.
218
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.799
Just have this much leftover for legal fees. Here's all
219
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.480
my cards, use everything, all the logins. Yikes, He says.
220
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.600
India has embraced me. I have a massive audience. They
221
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.279
just don't own news channels. You know what I mean.
222
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.799
That is your comedy news for today on a holiday Sunday,
223
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.320
enjoy the football games and December tomorrow. Wow, see you
224
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:45.519
