00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.480
Calaroga Shock Media.

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:10.599
Be there.

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.080
I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news. Deane Cook

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.399
movie coming out the headline all over the place. Dane

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.480
Cook's brother Darryl stole millions from him, hid cash in

6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.719
spaghetti sauce, and disappeared. This was an exclusive from People,

7
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.719
which is everywhere. Now there's a trailer for the Dane

8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.760
Cook movie. Maybe we'll just play that. It's a little long,

9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.399
but I find it really compelling.

10
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:40.119
It's your owner. I could hurt important SPI canvolved with something.

11
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:41.359
What happened?

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.799
What have you died? A person that spent so much

13
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:53.240
time pretending to be something he wasn't. From the moment

14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.799
he left that bank, my brother disappeared.

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.280
He was like, I want to be a stand up comedian.

16
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.880
I was like, I want to be a stand up comedian.

17
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.599
These people are fearless. I want to be fearless. Darryl

18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.640
was a major factor. He became a corrections officer, enjoying

19
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.480
your time here on the beach. There very much that time.

20
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.719
It's almost times money.

21
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.480
Once he started going platinum, everything changed.

22
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.040
He was like a rock star.

23
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.760
Daryl and I looked at each other and said, we're

24
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.959
in for a hell of a ride. He would handle

25
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.159
every aspect of every penny that came in.

26
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.680
Initially withdrolls for twenty thousand dollars, hecame withdrolls of fifty

27
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.159
thousand dollars, wires of one hundred thousand dollars. I was

28
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.000
starting to feel something that I couldn't really identify with

29
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.480
was he hiding it in different places?

30
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.799
Stockpiling this money? Darryl was traveling across the country. My

31
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.519
pursuit would be to put his brother in jail.

32
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:59.879
Done swung the door open, and piles upon piles of cash.

33
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.719
I'm like, this is not normal.

34
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.560
The last time I had seen it, there wasn't nearly

35
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:05.719
as much money in there.

36
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.400
The police officers, they believe that you were communicating with

37
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.039
Daryl with coded messages. There were bricks of hundreds in

38
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.639
all the spaghetti sauce and.

39
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.599
The pasta sauce. Of course, where else would you put

40
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.439
the money? This is blowing my mind. Dude, Darrel's a

41
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.919
go getting was the point to just bury me alive?

42
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.159
He seemed to disassociate himself from the whole thing. There

43
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.960
was a good part of him somewhere that I grew

44
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.560
up with. I do believe that there's money out there.

45
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.319
I believe there's people that know more. Where is he?

46
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.240
What has he done? How does this end?

47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.840
Funny money? The Dane Cook Story will be available on

48
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.879
streaming September twenty ninth. People, writes. McCauley, who was Cook's

49
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.960
business manager from the nineties through two thousand and eight,

50
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.879
handled every penny of Cook's wealth, but paper trails showed

51
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.000
he was withdrawing huge amounts, up to one hundred grand

52
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.840
at a time, from his brother's account. Dane said he

53
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.120
began to feel something I couldn't identify. By the way,

54
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.159
are we learning here that Dane Cook's name isn't Dane

55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.039
Cook and it's Dane McCauley. John, you have Google? Why

56
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.240
don't you tell us you host the show? Okay? I

57
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.120
will okay? I googled is Dane Cook his real name?

58
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.680
And the Internet said yes. And then I was like, huh,

59
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.199
so why is his brother McCauley. So I asked chat GPT.

60
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.159
Now this is a lot of fun. I typed in,

61
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.919
is Dane Cook his real name? The AI said yes,

62
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.039
Dane Cook is his real name. His full name is

63
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.680
Dane Jeffrey Cook born March eighteenth nineteen seventy two in Cambridge, Massachusetts. So,

64
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.879
unlike a lot of comedians, Dane Cook isn't a stage name.

65
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.199
So I asked, so, then, why is his brother McCauley

66
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.080
And the CHAT said no, No, pay attention. The CHAT said,

67
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.360
because McCauley is his brother's first name, not his last name,

68
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.759
to which I went, huh. Dane's brother is Daryl McCauley,

69
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.240
full name Daryl McCauley Cook. He generally went professionally by

70
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.159
name as Daryl McCauley, using his middle name as his surname.

71
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.360
And that read my hogwash detector. The AI is that right?

72
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.039
And the AI said, no, you caught me. It actually says, no,

73
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.960
you caught me. My previous answer was wrong. I checked it. Well, well,

74
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.599
why didn't you just give me the right answer the

75
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:11.080
first time?

76
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:11.520
AI?

77
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.680
So the AI is now sourcing Boston Magazine. Take this

78
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.040
with a grain of salt. I don't doubt Boston Magazine,

79
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.959
but I do doubt this AI. Dean Cook is Dean

80
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.399
Jeffrey Cook. His older half brother is Daryl McCauley. Reliable

81
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.680
contemporary coverage says the AI consistently identifies him as Darryl McCauley,

82
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.279
not Daryl McCauley Cook. You see, they're half brothers. They

83
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.720
shared a mother, Donna Jane Ford, but McCauley had a

84
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.959
different father, presumably mister McCauley. But we digress because we

85
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.439
have to talk about the movie Funny Money The Deane

86
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:47.040
Cook Story, People tells us. McCauley, a former corrections officer,

87
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.120
was ultimately arrested in two thousand and eight and charged

88
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.519
with stealing twelve million dollars from Cook while acting as

89
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.199
his business manager. Just curious and I'm trying to stay

90
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.720
out of prison. I wonder how that went for a

91
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.399
former corrections officer. I don't think I I want to know.

92
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.920
McCauley pleaded guilty to larceny, embezzlement, and forgery and twenty

93
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.040
ten says People, and was sentenced to five to six

94
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.800
years in prison. He was also ordered to repay the

95
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.920
twelve million dollars to Cook. His wife, Erica, was sentenced

96
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.279
to two and a half years in connection to McCauley's crimes.

97
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.439
Funny Money The Dane Cook Story On VOD September twenty ninth,

98
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.519
Deadline apparently had some spies that the possible casting for

99
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.920
Saturday Night Live season fifty two. SNL season fifty two

100
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.160
had showcases across three cities. Deadline says those names are

101
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.240
beginning to come in. Trenton, Mason, Inside Out, Bella, Osage, Hope,

102
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.040
I got your name right. Deadline heard they generated buzz

103
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.079
at their showcases. They're said to be on the list.

104
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.759
Other names Deadline has heard include Claire Riffle, Grace Ryder,

105
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.920
Devin Bachrath, Olivia Puckett, Ismael Lufti, Rachel Coster, Russelli Daniels,

106
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.639
and Anna Fabrega. Reps from SNL did not return request

107
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.000
for comment to Deadline. All we know about season fifty

108
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.399
two at the time of this recording is that Chloe

109
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.360
Feineman will not be back. I will still be stunned

110
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.439
if Cam Patterson is part of the cast, Deadline tells us.

111
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.319
As his customary staffers hit three big markets, Los Angeles, Chicago,

112
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.759
and New York. There was the character's showcase in LA

113
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.959
on August sixth. Chicago's showcases were at the Annoyance Theater

114
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.439
in the Io Theater on August tenth and eleventh, and

115
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.839
on August seventeenth and eighteenth. There were showcases at New

116
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.079
York's UCB more standouts. Names that emerge from LA included

117
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.160
Trenton Mason, Cabba, Hughes, Chase Rosenberg, and April Rock. In Chicago,

118
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.399
Peyton Reddy, who was one of the twenty twenty six

119
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.639
Just for Laughs New Phases quote dominated in Chicago, Deadline

120
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.319
says everyone in New York was raving quote unquote about

121
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.160
Joey Welsh. Other New York talents that did well Alicia Edwards,

122
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:48.399
Amber Singletary, and saida Bello Osagi. Deadline points out that Hughes, Rock, Edwards, Singletary,

123
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.680
and Belo Osagi are all female performers of color. You

124
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.240
may recall the people have been observing a lack of

125
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.920
black female representation since Ego Nuotum departed after the twenty

126
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.839
twenty five season. Deadline and says next up in the

127
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.199
casting process are screen tests. Keep your posting on that.

128
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.759
Seth Myers, he's off for seven weeks and for some reason,

129
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.079
has launched a podcast. Yeah. Seth and Salgentille, who writes

130
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.000
the popular A Closer Look segment, have teamed up during

131
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.839
the hiatus to launch a video podcast called A Closer

132
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.240
Lookout of Office to tackle the stories they've missed while

133
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.720
they've been off. So my Caddy comments about Late Night

134
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.800
with Seth Meyers aside, that's pretty interesting, right that they

135
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.079
are trying to get this stuff out there. That suggests

136
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.160
Seth didn't want a seven week vacation. That makes me

137
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.879
think even more that this is a bit of a

138
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.839
budget thing. So this whole summer thing is interesting. Seth

139
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.720
was off from June eighteenth to July thirteenth, did two

140
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.759
weeks and then another seven week break. So that's what

141
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.839
nine ten eleven. That's like off eleven out of thirteen weeks.

142
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.720
That sounds like a budget cut. Seth Myers joked, we

143
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.839
had to cancel a family vacation. We were going to

144
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.480
take the kids to the Straight Offore Moves and then

145
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.120
the travel agent finally said, I just wouldn't risk it. Obviously,

146
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.399
you want to bring the kids when it's open, you know.

147
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.160
Fo Seth enjoys YouTube and it's super successful because then

148
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.079
we can move him off twelve thirty. He can just

149
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.639
be a YouTuber and then we can give twelve thirty

150
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.680
to Chris Fleming and make twelve thirty grade again. Jay

151
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.399
Leno used to have a late night show was called

152
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.959
The Tonight show with Jay Leno. He recently was presented

153
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.680
with the Vanguard Award at the twenty twenty six Burbank

154
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.800
International Film Festivals Gallas ceremony. The original plan called for

155
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.240
dinner followed by an hour long career retrospective with Jay Leno,

156
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.959
but they moved everything around. They put the stuff about

157
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.679
Jay Leno at the beginning of the night. Here's why.

158
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.960
Jay asked for them to change it so he could

159
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.679
leave so we could do a seven thirty set at Flappers.

160
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.919
That sounds like a bit but no. Jay Leto had

161
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.240
a seven thirty pm set at Flapper's Comedy Club in

162
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.440
downtown Burbank, so he asked the awards people, Hey, could

163
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.720
you move it around? So before the salad was served

164
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.720
at the Marriott, jay Leno recorded the podcast, accepted his

165
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.559
award and thank the crowd, and headed to Flappers. Oh

166
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.200
my god, that's fun. More Jay Leno news. Jay was

167
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.159
granted a conservator ship for the estate of his seventy

168
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.600
nine year old wife, Mavis. Jay, who had been granted

169
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.639
a conservator ship over the estate of wife Mavis in

170
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.200
twenty twenty four, is seeking to register said conservatorship in

171
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.720
New Hampshire, so he can sell community property real estate there.

172
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.320
As you may know, Mavis has advanced Alzheimer's disease that

173
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.879
sometimes leaves her unaware of her birth date or who

174
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.440
she's even married to. Court papers fought on August fifth

175
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.720
do not state what kind of real estate the couple

176
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.879
own in New Hampshire or what part of the state.

177
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.480
Jay was born in Massachusetts. He also owns real estate

178
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.120
in Rhode Island. Anyway, for all the bits about Jay

179
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.600
Leno being the worst guy who ever lived, seems like

180
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.879
a pretty good guy to me. Kathy Griffin. If you're

181
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.919
a longtime a listener to this program, you know anytime

182
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.639
Kathy Griffin gets mentioned, it's always something happy and good,

183
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.000
like Kathy Griffin was petting a Golden Retriever puppy, or

184
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.799
Kathy Griffin was smelling some flowers and said, what a

185
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.480
beautiful day. It's great to be alive. So it surprises

186
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:53.960
me that she's involved in a beef.

187
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:54.240
Right.

188
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.360
Kathy said she's really hurt that she wasn't invited to

189
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.480
appear on Rosie O'Donnell's week guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel's late

190
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.879
night show. Kathy, Kathy, listen to me even you self

191
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.440
described as a Dalist celebrity. You had a show with

192
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.320
d list in the title. Let's see who Rosie even

193
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.600
had on this from Interbridge dot com. Here's the lineup

194
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.399
for last week when Rosi o'donald guest hosted. Monday, Hannah Wadding,

195
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.360
m Ted Lasso, Sure and a guest ire The Linda

196
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:26.159
Linda's Bella Brown Tuesday, Gen Smart, Richard Gad Bella Brown again. Wednesday,

197
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.879
Charlie Day, Yeah, it's always Sunday it was out Janelle James,

198
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.600
Ashley McBride, Thursday, Nick Offerman and Megan Malaly. Friday was

199
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.399
a repeat. I mean, who do you want us to bump?

200
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.559
Kathy Griffin on her podcast which is called Talk Your

201
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.600
Head Off, Kathy Griffin said, I'm gonna be honest today.

202
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.279
I might cry. I'm asking for your pity. I love

203
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.480
a good pity cry. I'm gonna be open and honest

204
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.000
and hope you understand. And I'm trying to talk about

205
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.320
something bigger than TV talk shows. But you know, I

206
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.759
talk a lot about Hollywood and I give you the

207
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.159
inside scoop, et cetera. But this one's really personal. I'm

208
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.559
just gonna come out and say it are you ready.

209
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.519
It's embarrassing to say, but I have to tell you, guys,

210
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.759
because we're friends. My feelings are really hurt that I

211
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.440
was not invited to go on Rosie's Week with the

212
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.759
Jimmy Kimmels Show. Good pals. We're like sisters, and everyone

213
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.080
knows sisters fight. Sisters and brothers fight, best friends fight, relatives,

214
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.639
coworkers fight, and we're not even fighting. I don't think

215
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.039
I've ever had a fight with my best friend. I

216
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.519
can't recall one. If we had one, it's been a minute.

217
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.799
I'm sure he'd have me on his show. Cathy said,

218
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.279
I'm just being honest that when I found out that

219
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.159
Rosie was gonna take over for the full week from

220
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.039
my beloved Jimmy Kimmel, I love that, he said to

221
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.279
the camera, and I'm doing it as a special treat

222
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.600
to Donald Trump, and I thought, oh, fantastic. He's leaning

223
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.440
into it and his viewers are honestly leaning more to

224
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.799
the left. Kathy then brought up her infamous photo from

225
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.679
twenty seventeen. I don't need a visit from guys with sunglasses.

226
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.200
Just google Kathy Griffin photo. It'll come up. Kathy said, instead,

227
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.039
in my own community of Hollywood of stand up comedy

228
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:40.559
were you're supposed to be edgy, You're supposed to make

229
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.519
political statements as well as be funny. My opinion, that's

230
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.759
what the greats do, That's who the greats I admired did.

231
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.639
Did not go that way for me. Initially, Griffin said

232
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.919
o'donald had made comments that were not supportive of said photo.

233
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.600
On a recent podcast, The Upset Kathy Griffin, Kathy said,

234
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.080
I mean, think about it. You've got these two women

235
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.159
who shared this very unique thing in common, and well,

236
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.720
what happened to me was much more extreme than what

237
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.679
happened to Rosie. It's pretty unusual that you've got these

238
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.000
two women that have been so outspoken about Well, he

239
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:06.879
wasn't the president when she talked about him on the view,

240
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.759
but he was the president when I talked about him.

241
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.000
And as I have spoken about before, most of Hollywood

242
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.279
turned on me. Overnight. Rosie O'Donnell jumped on Kathy Griffin's Instagram,

243
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.360
posted the video and wrote, Kathy should have called me, honey,

244
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.000
I didn't choose the guests right out. Today on the

245
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.080
eight hundred Pound Gorilla Gorilla Comedy Plus channel Beloved English

246
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.320
actress and comedian Carry Goldman brings her critically acclaimed stand

247
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.559
up comedy special Bandwidth to a wider audience with Gorilla

248
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.759
Comedy Plus. Known for her regular appearances on TV shows

249
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.480
like Mack of the Week and task Master, He's also

250
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.919
on Allie Kats with Ricky Gervais. Carry Goldman is noted

251
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.240
as one of the most celebrated performers in the UK.

252
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.679
Carrie said, I had a total blast filming the special

253
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.080
and I'm excited to share my stand up with the

254
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:50.799
wider audience. I do hope you love it, or at

255
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.600
least they're sufficiently amused by it, but love would be preferable.

256
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.600
At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe it was the Cheese It

257
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:03.679
Cheesiest Joke Award, award celebrates cheesy jokes. I love it.

258
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.840
Following more than one hundred and thirty entries, English stand

259
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.759
up Phil Milton, Phil spells his first name fil Phil

260
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.679
Milton emerged victorious and won the prize of one thousand

261
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.840
British pounds with the following gag told much better by

262
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.279
Phil Milton then I'll tell it here, But the line

263
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.840
is my brother convinced me to go on halves on

264
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.879
a used funeral car. I can't believe I was so

265
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.759
easily coherst.

266
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:27.720
That is terrible.

267
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.200
It's cheesy. Phil Milton said of winning, it's a massive

268
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.519
treat as a relatively new comedian doing my first show

269
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.440
with the Fringe, having this award really helps get the

270
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.200
word out about me and my show. It's really important

271
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.960
to highlight individual jokes too. Sometimes a little one liner

272
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.240
can get overlood or dismissed as a dad joke. They

273
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.480
take a lot of effort and I'm really pleased Cheesse

274
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.879
it have done it. He won from a public vote.

275
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:53.120
There was a shortlist of five cheesy jokes. Other finalists

276
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.399
included this one from Martin Byrne told better by mister Burne.

277
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.159
Give him man of Fish, He'll lead for a day,

278
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.919
teach a man OFFICI and will probably start a pod

279
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.200
asked about fishing. We also had one from Carlin. No,

280
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.440
not George Carlin, Brucken, Tiazac Carlin. This Carlin said, I'm

281
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.159
looking for a new job. I walked past a mirror

282
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.879
shop the other day and thought, oh, I could see

283
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.200
myself working there. I like that one. I would have

284
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.559
voted for that one. Ruy frios Uk senior marketing manager

285
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.679
Cheese had said, We've always celebrated not taking life too

286
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.919
seriously and the inner cheesiness of everyone, so creating an

287
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.600
award dedicated to the cheesiest jokes at the fringe felt

288
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.519
like the perfect fit. The Trick comedy news for today

289
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.080
right back at three o'clock with a casual short video

290
