1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.960
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnnie Mack with your daily comedy news from

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:19.559
Hip Hop DX. Dave Chappelle auctioned
off fifty cents. What hip Hop DX

3
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.000
rites? Fifty cent may have a
reputation as one of the most feared men

4
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.519
in the ramp game, but that
has and stop Dave Chappelle from using him

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.960
as fuel from his comedy AMMO.
They were at Reggie Jackson's Mister October Foundation

6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:37.159
over the weekend and Chappelle jokingly auctioned
off mister sent. Chappelle apparently compared the

7
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.960
location, which was a Florida golf
club. No, not that one,

8
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.359
a different one, to a scene
from the Jordan Peele film get Out,

9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.079
before joking to the largely white crowd
that fifty was for sale. I've seen

10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.039
the clip myself. This really happened, Chappelle said, mister Jackson has transcended

11
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.600
the odds of the black community and
came all the way out here to the

12
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.399
get Out resort. Surprise Fellas,
the auction begins right now. How much

13
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.759
do you want for this big buck? Fifty apparently thought it was funny and

14
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.959
a scene cracking up in the video. If you want to check it out

15
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.719
for yourself. If you google it, it'll come up. Bob Odenkirk is

16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.200
related to King Charles, who knew
Bob Odenkirk didn't. He was on PBS's

17
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.079
Finding Your Roots. On Finding your
Roots, host Henry Lewis Gates helped celebrities

18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.280
learn about their family history, Odenkirk
learned that he and King Charles are eleventh

19
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.560
cousins. I'm pretty sure you and
I are eleventh cousins. Oden Kirk said,

20
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.680
that is crazy. Apparently, Bob
Odenkirk's father's fifth grade grandfather was born

21
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.799
out of Woodlock to Maria Katharia Bain
and the Duke of Plum. Oden Kirk

22
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.560
said, I'm an American. I'm
not a monarchist. I don't believe in

23
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.159
ah that you know. I feel
it's a little twisted. I understand why

24
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.959
society built itself around monarchs and leaders
and they passed them down through generations.

25
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.840
I understand that goes through every society, every civilization. But I think that

26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.000
we've gotten a better place with democracy
and we should just keep going down that

27
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.959
road. Bob, you should just
call Prince hang out with him. Meanwhile,

28
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.640
on that same show, Eliza Selessenger
finds out that her great grandmother Esther,

29
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.560
had a brother, Lipa. The
brother was a textile dealer who was

30
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.599
still in Poland when the Nazis showed
up in September of nineteen thirty nine.

31
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Host Gates confirms that Slessinger's family didn't
discuss Leipa's story and asks her to relate

32
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.000
Ester's feelings towards her brother. Eliza
said, I can't beginning to imagine this.

33
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.599
I don't think I want to.
He then shows her some pictures from

34
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.240
the ghetto and asks her how seeing
those images and learning that personal connection made

35
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.479
her feel. Eliza said, when
you look at pictures from history atrocities committed

36
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.080
against your own people in particular,
there's always that poll. But I never

37
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.400
thought I had any actual connection because
I didn't know any of that history.

38
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.039
All right, Johnny Mack, this
is a lot of fun. How are

39
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.000
you gonna pull this one out?
Let me turn things over to David Letterman.

40
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.879
Taylor Swift. I don't think in
the history of show business, in

41
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.000
the history of popular culture, we've
ever witnessed anything like this tremendous. She

42
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.240
fills stadiums around the world and puts
on a three hour s Oh no,

43
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.319
we live in a world now where
all we hear is nonsense and ugliness,

44
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.159
and the nonsense can't be more nonsensical, and the ugliness, God hopes it

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.000
can't get any uglier. But that's
all we hear. That's all we hear.

46
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.639
So now here's Taylor Swift, who
is a glowing bright light of goodness

47
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.960
in the world. And she starts
dating Kelsey Grammar and people, no,

48
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.039
that's not true. What yes,
yeah, an interesting parent and people go

49
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.639
crazy. And the Kelsey Grammar people
say, oh, no, no,

50
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.400
no, don't bother us. We're
all caught up in football. We don't

51
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.759
want Taylor in football. And the
Taylor Swift people, the swifties, are

52
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.879
saying, oh, we don't want
a footballer in here with Kelsey Grammar.

53
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.319
And I'm saying, huh, Travis
Kelsey, right, Travis Kelcey, and

54
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639
I say to both camps, this
is such a lovely thing. Shut up.

55
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.000
It's good for the footballers, it's
good for Taylor Swift, and it's

56
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.000
something positive they've been happy for the
world. And also politically, Taylor Swift

57
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.879
is a huge force and I think
just wants to see people do the right

58
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.919
thing, So God bless Taylor Swift
and Kelsey Grammar. That's all I have

59
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.399
to The Danes are annoyed with Chris
Rock from games Radar You're Home for comedy

60
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:23.240
news. Comedian Chris Rock has signed
on to direct the English language remake of

61
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.839
Another Round. Fans of the Danish
original are not happy about it. The

62
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.439
original centers on four teachers as they
try to maintain a constant level of intoxication

63
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.160
throughout the working week, having stumbled
on a theory that it makes people more

64
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.959
creative and successful. One Danish fan
tweeted American producers need to learn to keep

65
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.560
their hands of themselves. Another said, great original stories. I'm very happy

66
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.199
for Dusty Sligh. It seems that
people watched that Netflix special and they're now

67
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.920
on team Johnny mach going, Yeah, Dusty Slay is really funny. Been

68
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.319
telling you that for a while now. Dusty's special is still the only thing

69
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.079
on the best of two only twenty
four list. That's it. The entire

70
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.560
list is Dusty Sleigh. It's almost
February. Dusty told al as An Alabama

71
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.360
dot com it's an honor to even
be on Netflix, but to be on

72
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.160
there to know that people are actually
watching it. It's like getting recognized by

73
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.160
the industry but also by people in
general, and that's great. Dusty,

74
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.279
described as a longed hair trekker hat
sporting Opa Liga native, says, the

75
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.240
mayor reached out and wants to meet
me. I gotta tell you to get

76
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.920
a little hometown recognition. Feels good. They have some bio here. Since

77
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.759
going full time as a stand up
in twenty ten, leaving his job at

78
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.000
a pesticide company, sometimes Dusty would
drive two hundred and fifty miles to play

79
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.759
a gig for two hundred and fifty
bucks. On the road, he'd often

80
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.360
eat tuna straight from the can.
He stayed at dodgy motels where he feared

81
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.000
for his life. That's on Funny
John Off the Road. He lived in

82
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.079
a Nashville attic apartment with no insulation, freezing during the winter and in the

83
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.560
summer sweating like hell, I didn't
know Dusty stayed any upstairs room in my

84
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.040
house. No, he doesn't actually
my house. He's talking about the Nasville

85
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.040
apartment. But you knew that already. There were plenty of unglamorous things.

86
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.399
You're working for years for basically no
money, just hoping this turns into something

87
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:10.240
one day. Yeah, I'm just
gonna remind Dusty I'm podcasting for the basement.

88
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.600
I feel you. I don't think
my wife and kids would enjoy it

89
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.639
if I were still making that kind
of money. But for me at the

90
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.560
time, I was like, this
is what I want to be doing.

91
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.800
I'm traveling in the country with my
car with three hundred and seventeen thousand miles

92
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.879
when I traded it in, zipping
all over and leaking oil, and I

93
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.040
loved it. Dusty, where did
you watch your specials premiere? He said?

94
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.480
I was supposed to go to New
York, but we had the snowstorm

95
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.439
of the century in Nashville. My
flight got canceled, so I went home.

96
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.959
My neighbor was having a watch party
with some of the other neighbors that

97
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.560
took my kids and my wife.
We all went to the neighbor's house and

98
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.560
they put the special on. It
felt like I was watching a comedian that

99
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.399
I'm just very familiar with, and
it's fun. Gilda's Laugh Fest is Back

100
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.480
Baby March sixth to the tenth in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. This year's lineup

101
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.319
Tammy Pascatelli, Josh Johnson, Piffed, the Magic Dragon and Dimitri Martin.

102
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.120
That's pretty good. Tom Poppa also
pretty good. We'll be headlining the Gilda's

103
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.079
Club Annual Red Door Gala March fourteenth. Other events, it's the Clean Comedy

104
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.920
Showcase, LaughFest, Trivia Night of
Stars, and The Dirty Show. Gilda's

105
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.759
Club is a nonprofit that provides free
emotional healthcare to children, adults, families

106
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.759
and friends on any kind of cancer
journey, or those grieving the death of

107
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.079
someone in their life due to any
cause. The club is named after the

108
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:21.120
iconic comedian and Detroit native Gilda Redner. Johnny Mack has just realized he wanted

109
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.120
to take the break there, But
you have to take the break with something

110
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.639
upbeat, So let me pull up
a story. Kate McKinnon is going to

111
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.079
be in a Super Bowl commercial.
It's for a famous mayonnaise company that can

112
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.360
afford to buy advertising. She co
stars with a cat known as Mayo Cat.

113
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.199
The ad is to make viewers aware
of food waste and how the company's

114
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.279
famous mayonnaise can help reduce the food
waste. Kate even spoke to Variety about

115
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.959
this and said, I grew up
on a house that was very environmentally minded

116
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000
and we never threw anything out,
something that's very deep in my heart.

117
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.759
The suit from the Mayo company says, viewers want to be entertained. This

118
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.000
is sort of a moment to entertain
them. We take a very serious subjet

119
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.240
like reducing food waste, and communicate
it in a comedic way that is still

120
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.839
relevant. All right. What happens
well in the spot, Kate McKinnon gets

121
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:13.199
kitchen advice from Mayokat, who advises
her to use Mayow Get It to make

122
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.000
leftover food taste great. That's terrible
soon and this is where it becomes fun.

123
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.439
The cat becomes famous enough to date
Pete Davidson. Apparently Kate checked in

124
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.360
with Pete to make sure that that
joke would be okay, and it is.

125
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:30.319
Meanwhile, on Gossip Corner, Madeline
Kleine showed her support for Pete Davidson's

126
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.120
comedy by showing up at his gig
in Philadelphia. Yahoo tells us Klein was

127
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.840
photographed leaving with Pete Davidson on Sunday
after he performed at Helium. She kept

128
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.519
a low profile and a beige winder
coat with a matching Tommy Hill figure baseball

129
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.320
cap while Pete Davidson sported a black
hoodie under a brown jacket and a dark

130
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.519
green Bloomfield New Jersey cap. Hmm. I totally screwed up the order today.

131
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.759
I could just edit this stuff,
but I like to let you guys

132
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.600
know what's going on. Let's see
what's happening at Sketch Fests. Seven.

133
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.720
Brett Gilman's inappropriation canceled. Hmm.
I wonder why, uh again, I'm

134
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.720
speculating here. I have googled Brett
Gilman and maybe perhaps some of his opinions

135
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.480
on current events are scaring people.
Maybe maybe not pure speculation there. He

136
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.679
could just have a cold. I
don't actually know anyway, canceled. Don't

137
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.679
head to that. So your other
choices at seven thirty are Killing my Lobster

138
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.679
with Cam Wiley. Killing my Lobster
has been SF's premier sketch group comedy since

139
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.240
nineteen ninety seven. Or at seven
thirty we could hit Comedy Rodeo with Hayden

140
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.840
Crystal one, two, three,
four, five, six comedians are so

141
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.080
there, and at eight o'clock the
Red Room Orchestra plays the music of Twin

142
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.519
Peaks. That's it, let's go
to Killing my Lobster. We can't even

143
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.679
hit the Anchor Brewery because it closed. Anchor was such a good beer,

144
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.360
and hypothetically, we did Little Italy
last night. I guess we'll do little

145
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.279
literally again. Mike from Cleveland chimed
in. He said, you probably heard

146
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.440
this already, but Joe Gatto is
from Impractical Jokers. Well, Mike and

147
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.080
Cleveland tell Joe Gatto to put that
on his Wikipedia. So if you ask

148
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.799
a thousand people who Joe Gatto is, nine hundred and ninety nine are going

149
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.440
to go. I have no idea, but Mike and Cleveland's going to go.

150
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.879
That's the dude from a Practical Jokers. Well done, Mike. The

151
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.279
only Times enjoyed Kate Berlance show they
wrote a would be method actor. Kate

152
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.639
enters into a hall of mirrors,
in which overwrought versions of her life are

153
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.840
conjured in funhouse style. She remakes
her biography as though it were as held

154
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.360
by Charles Dickens, full of villainous
ogres and scrapes with melodramatic disasters. For

155
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.559
Lance, a gifted physical comic who
whipsaws between over the top grandeur and abject

156
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.360
awkwardness, introduces her situations with a
wink, and even the winks are delivered

157
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.639
in quotation works. Somebody had the
thesaurus out or ran this through her website,

158
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.600
because there's some pretty five dollars words
in this description here. Anyway,

159
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.399
it seems like a good show.
A lot of people are talking about that.

160
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.879
Glenn Close says that if Christopher Reeve
were still around, Robin Williams would

161
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.120
still be alive. I saw that
headline in People, and I was like,

162
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.480
hmm, yeah. Glenn explained their
friendship. Their connection is the stuff

163
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.519
of legend and not only endured,
but became a life giving force of stating

164
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.480
them both on Friday evenings, Chris
would literally swoop in piloting his own plane,

165
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.960
scoop Robin up, and away they
would fly for the weekend. On

166
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.600
Sunday, late afternoon, Chris would
swoop back in and deliver Robin back.

167
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.000
I have to say a little worse
for wear. They were living the kind

168
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.799
of fast and crazy life that our
business can hand to you if you become

169
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.960
a wildly famous phenomenon, particularly overnight. The Hollywood Reporter has fifty reasons we

170
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.159
love Hollywood. One of them is
your comedy. Headliner is our open mic.

171
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.039
They write in between tours. The
biggest names in comedy drop it to

172
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.559
their home clubs in LA to workout
material and stay sharp. Adam Sandler,

173
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.480
John Mlaney, Nik Krol, Sarah
Silverman, and Judd Apatow regularly hit Largo,

174
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.200
while Mark Maron and Margaret Show were
Comedy Store regular. Sebastian Manascalco and

175
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.480
Kamil nan Gianni perform at the Hollywood
Improv Deane Cook and Craig Robinson do sets

176
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.679
of The Laugh Factory, and Ramy
Yusef and Tignazaro. I've had recent shows

177
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.679
A Dynasty Typewriter. That's nice.
I think we could say the same thing

178
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.360
about New York City. But whatever, Riba McIntyre, good news for my

179
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.519
mom is getting a new sitcom,
or at least a pilot anyway and as

180
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.279
yet untitled multi caam project. Riba
inherits her father's restaurant and is less than

181
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.320
thrilled to discover that she's a new
business partner and the half sister that she

182
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.120
never knew she had. What's weird
to me is this is for NBC.

183
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.240
Doesn't that sound like a CBS sitcom? My mom doesn't know how to switch

184
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.840
from Channel two to Channel four.
She's never gonna see this thing. Put

185
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.039
this on CBS word Belongs and that's
your comedy news for today. If you

186
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.480
enjoy the program, tell a friend
about it. They might like it too.

187
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.120
You could support the show at buy
Me a Coffee dot com slash daily

188
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.159
Comedy News. I didn't forget about
that Sandler thing. I got to actually

189
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.360
write it. I'm hoping to do
it Saturday. We'll see how my week

190
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.120
goes. And if you're hip to
podcasting two point zero, you can use

191
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.399
the Fountain app throw some SATs my
way if you have no idea what I'm

192
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.320
talking about. Sort of explaining the
show notes see tomorrow
