of the Jimmy Kimmel story, a lot of people are

7
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.960
concerned about free speech and government overreached, and again I'll

a New York City firefighter. I don't know if you

28
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.120

there in a ninth. Sebastian Maniscalco is there on the ninth.

43
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.759
So you can see what a big comedy festival this

44
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.199
is coming to Riodd And by the way, did I

45
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.479
promote I'm talking about the old Jimmy Kimmel free speech

46
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.719
government depression thing. I'm doing that as bonus episodes. I

47
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.000
forget if I mentioned that at the top. Anyway, I

48
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.479
just wanted to let you know what was happening in

49
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.479
comedy festivals this week and where all your favorite comedians

50
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.919
are heading. Now, I had that in the notes already

51
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.360
because I like to let you know what's happening in

52
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.919
comedy festivals. But I saw Jason Zinnemann, friend of the show,

53
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.280
wrote in The New York Times. Starting next week, many

54
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.879
of the most popular American stand up stars he mentioned Chappelle,

55
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.400
Bill Burn, Kevin Harnt in parentheses, will perform at a

56
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.479
huge new festival in riodd hosted by a government not

57
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.479
exactly known for its openness to dissent. The optics were

58
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.879
never great, but the timing is now especially awkward. The

59
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.120
Hollywood Reporter had an article about the most trusted people

60
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.520
in media. Some of it was focused on newscasters, but

61
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.319
in terms of late night host, Jimmy Fallon is the

62
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.039
host who gets most often labeled as the least political

63
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.439
of the broadcast. Late Nighters has the highest trust, while

64
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.599
John Stewart his trust rating is down a little bit.

65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.719
Greg Gottfeld saw his credibility rise with Americans since the

66
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.000
last time the survey was taken in twenty twenty four.

67
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.520
Stephen Colbert's trust numbers are down seven points. And I

68
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.159
think this survey was taken before Jimmy Kimmel was removed

69
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.120
from the airwaves. But at the time of the survey,

70
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.520
forty eight percent of respondents in the Hollywood Porter Morning

71
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.479
Consult poll described Jimmy Kimmel as having quote a very

72
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.719
liberal or quote somewhat liberal lean, which was higher than

73
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.319
all his other late night contemporaries. Stand Up four Heroes

74
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.000
is coming back as part of the New York Comedy Festival.

75
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.360
It's its nineteenth year. It'll be November tenth at the

76
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.000
David Geffenhall and Lincoln Center. Nice lineup including Mike Birbiglia,

77
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.719
Alex Edelman, and Jim Gaffigan. Maybe he'll try and sell

78
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.199
you some bourbon, Tom Poppa, John Stewart and Moore. Stand

79
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.120
Up for Heroes has raised one hundred and thirteen million

80
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.560
dollars to day to help all veterans and military families

81
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.240
have successful futures. I did get to watch John Marcos

82
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.720
Siresi's new special on YouTube. It is fanastic, like really good.

83
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.720
As I was watching it, I was thinking, Wow, the

84
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.240
number of jokes per second is just incredible. And then

85
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.040
I remember Dane Cook had a laughs per metric thing

86
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.319
that he used to do, and I was like, oh,

87
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.639
that isn't cool. So I'm gonna quote Bob Hope theory,

88
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.279
which was tell a joke like every six seconds, and

89
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.519
some of them might land. I mean, John Marco is

90
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.399
just joke after joke after joke, and so many of

91
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.079
them land strongly. The special is really good. I also

92
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.720
appreciate and other reviews have pointed out his physicality, and

93
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.959
at first I was like, Oh, his physicalities helped selling

94
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.279
those jokes. That's interesting. And then I took my eyes

95
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.360
off the screen. I'm like, Nope, the physicality is just

96
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.759
part of the entertainment. But the material is solid, solid, solid,

97
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.439
Plus you get the physicality on top a really strong special.

98
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.720
Jermark will tell the Post this was a real amalgamation

99
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.319
of chunks from my first year, bigger stories that have

100
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.120
been fine tuned over the years, and bits from the

101
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.720
last six months. Some people are more familiar with my

102
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.040
crowd work, and I think they'll be pleasantly surprised that

103
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.199
this is more of a joke special. Basically, the idea was,

104
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.439
if he didn't know me, this is your intro to

105
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.360
my taste, who I am, how I feel, and a

106
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.199
good preview of what you're gonna get if you ever

107
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.959
see me live. Some of it got cut, he told

108
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.079
the Post, Yeah, it was originally eighty minutes. We cut

109
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.399
a lot. We cut a joke that I've been doing

110
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.040
since my first year that I worried I'd put out

111
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.079
too much. It's about my father. He's Italian. We kiss

112
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.000
each other goodbye. One day, my room had asked, do

113
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.600
you kiss each other in public? And I said, yeah,

114
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.319
it'd be weird if I only kissed him in private.

115
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.279
That's a great joke. My girlfriend, who's also my manager,

116
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.879
is my guiding light into terms of telling me, I

117
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.480
think that's been done in a way that it would

118
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.480
feel like an audience member might think I've already heard

119
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.279
that part, so I left it out. You know. As

120
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.680
I was watching the special, I was like, wait, I've

121
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.079
heard this chunk. Where do I know this chunk from?

122
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.439
And I was just confused, And then I realized, Oh,

123
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.439
he had done a little bit of this material back

124
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.879
in July up at Montreal, and I was like, oh, okay, okay,

125
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.120
that's where I know that from. John Marcos says, I'm

126
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.439
retiring all the material from this special. So right now

127
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.560
I'm talking about AI and the ways it feels like

128
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.279
AI and robotics have moved past helping human beings. I

129
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.399
was just trying to see if I could get him on.

130
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.560
I was talking with this publicist. We're very friendly. I'm

131
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.600
very friendly with that camp. But John Marco's running around,

132
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.120
so this isn't like one of those like, oh I

133
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.399
can't get to you know whatever comedian. I can't get

134
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:23.959
to Mark Marron. I would love to get to Mark Marin.

135
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.199
I just can't. But I was thinking when I was

136
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.519
watching it, I'm like, wow, John Marco here is just

137
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.399
torching all his material. I was wondering what he had left.

138
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.839
So it's good to hear that answer. John Marcus said,

139
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.720
I try to paint my dad in a more positive

140
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.759
light because I found out he's been on Ashley Madison

141
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:39.680
and a number of dating apps. Or woman reached out

142
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.480
to me and she decided to not date my father

143
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.759
partially because of my jokes. So I had to try

144
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.600
and readjust that. So I get a new step Bob.

145
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.720
I will do more of that tomorrow. I'm recording this

146
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.480
one on Sunday. I normally don't record on Sunday because

147
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.279
everyone's home and oh my god, right now, both dogs

148
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.560
are going at it. I've gone up twice and been like,

149
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.959
can you be quiet now? To be fair, this isn't

150
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.120
really a podcast studio. It's the basement and my family's

151
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.120
allowed to live here. But it's really hard to focus today,

152
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.160
So I'll save the John Marco stuff people as this

153
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.439
thing with Michael Chay, and I'm having trouble understanding the

154
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.199
story because the way they wrote it. Their opening paragraph

155
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.480
is quoting Michael Chay in a new documentary in Whose Name,

156
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.199
and the quote is Michael Chay asking Kanye West, I'm

157
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.240
the black comedian that made a joke about Cosby. That's

158
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:28.959
fed up? Why do you do that to me? It

159
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.560
was backstage at SNL and Kanye West apparently said, you

160
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.560
can't always have every time you have black subject matter

161
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.079
like Bill Cosby, that you have to have a black

162
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.560
comedian talking about him. He motions to Michael Chay and said,

163
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.879
you know what I mean. Kanye claimed he was bullied

164
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.639
backstage for his Make America Great Again hat and was

165
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.040
told don't go out there with that hat on. They

166
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.000
bullied me backstage. They bullied me, and then they say,

167
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.439
I'm in a sunken place. You want to see that

168
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.240
sunken place. I'm going to put my Superman cap on.

169
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.519
The documentary then cuts to Cha approaching West backstage, and

170
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.959
then Chay says to West, good with me, for real?

171
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.199
That was eft up? So I don't really understand what's

172
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.720
going on there. I guess i'd have to watch it.

173
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.480
On Friday. I shared that thing with Guy Brainam on

174
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.120
the airplane while TMZ says, guy says he's going to

175
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.120
bring the man to court. TMZ happened to be at

176
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.160
the airport when Guy Braindam got off a plane. The

177
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.120
photographer asked Guy Branham about it. TMZ says, guys show

178
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.079
them a bruise from the alleged elbow swing and said

179
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.519
he's going to file a police report and a lawsuit,

180
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.000
telling the man you can't hit somebody because you think

181
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.800
they're fat. Guy says Delta Airlines has called him back

182
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.919
to talk about what happened. TMC says guy travels a

183
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.639
lot for work and has some Delta status himself. I

184
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.279
want to know how he went up in a middle seat.

185
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.360
I mean, it's not that hard to not get in

186
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.240
a middle seat, especially if you're willing to spend a

187
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.200
little money. I don't know. Hey, here's a shocker. Johnny

188
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.240
Mack remembered to do the Toronto Comedy Festival today. I

189
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.639
almost forgot I'd started to go into the Steve Harvey story,

190
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.240
which is the next thing in my script, and then

191
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.320
I was like, oh, why don't you actually do Toronto

192
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.200
for one? So you have to get Johnny macbot out

193
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.679
for the third day to row. Let's see what's happening

194
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.559
in Toronto today. David Lynch's Seinfeld at eight o'clock. What

195
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.759
is this? This sounds amazing. Now I have to actually

196
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.399
google this. Since the new people took over at JFL,

197
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.200
the websites aren't as good. Just saying, all right, here's

198
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.480
a review from July. David Lynch's Seinfeld was at the

199
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:24.559
Toronto Fringe and Porton and Pearl reviewed it. They wrote,

200
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.240
imagine an episode of Seinfeld. Now imagine that there's a

201
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.240
frequently tall faceless man called the Tall Man watching Jerry

202
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.840
Do stand up from the audience. That's how David Lynch's

203
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.600
Seinfeld begins, an entirely original episode of Seinfeld with a

204
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.320
lynche and twist. All right, that sounds like a lot

205
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.919
of fun at eight o'clock, Matt writes Matre Day right

206
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.679
Live nine thirty, another David Lynch Seinfeld also at nine

207
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.440
thirty Wheel of Comedy, and then at midnight Madness at

208
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.080
eleven thirty. So I'd say pretty quiet night, as mondays,

209
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.840
tend to be at festivals. If we were up there,

210
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.320
I'd say, well, let's definitely do Seinfeld at eight, and

211
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.960
then I don't know. We left comedy at nine thirty,

212
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.240
Grab a couple of beers, go to bed. Steve Harvey

213
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.559
explained why he has quitch stand up comedy, said it's

214
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.639
too hard to do right now. He's got that nice

215
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.960
family feud gig and apparently that's what Arizon ABC at

216
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.240
eleven thirty at night, so he might be pumping out

217
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.159
a lot of more episodes soon. Steve said, I left

218
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.799
stand up because I had so many shows. I had

219
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.759
built such a catalog of work. I was making money.

220
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.000
I had to let something go, and if a tour

221
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.919
on the weekends, I wouldn't even have a family. So

222
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.039
I let stand up go because I saw the change coming.

223
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.480
You got to react to participate. So my participation was

224
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.240
to get it away from it because the cancel culture

225
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.600
started becoming everywhere. Comedy is too hard to do right now,

226
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.799
and all you got to do is look at the

227
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.960
way cancel culture works. I believe he had said this

228
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.159
before Kimmel Gates did it do this one over the weekend.

229
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.840
I've recorded so many things I can't remember. Steve Morton

230
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.960
had to cancel the shows over the weekend. He has COVID.

231
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.879
He went on social said, dear Virginia Beach and Richmond

232
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.159
sad laugh come down with COVID. I can't possibly do

233
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.159
the shows. He deserves some morning and I must cancel

234
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.360
tonight and tomorrow. But we were churned under better circumstances.

235
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.879
Steve Morton is eighty years old, and I don't think

236
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.960
that people of Peoria are too happy with Liz Mealy

237
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.279
As she released a video on Facebook and YouTube, Liz

238
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.240
says she enjoys traveling, and then said she visited Peoria

239
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.320
once and that was enough. We don't need to do

240
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.279
that again. If you're like, hey, Liz, what's in Peoria? Nothing?

241
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.639
There's nothing. They had one coffee shop. It was open

242
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.679
thirty five minutes and I never woke up in time.

243
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.519
They didn't have Uber. Everybody has a guy with a truck.

244
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.320
How do you not have Uber? I was losing my mind.

245
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.080
I'm freaking out. I feels so isolated. I caught my

246
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.159
little sister. She's like described Peoria and I was like,

247
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.320
all right, opening scene of Wally, I'm the robot. Trash

248
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.240
is everywhere, no one's around. Back in November, Shane gillis

249
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.679
Head coincidentally said, I was in Peoria, new number one

250
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.519
on the power rankings of blanking town in the entire country. Peoria,

251
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.759
Illinois was That was hell, dude, Just me and the

252
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.120
bums were the only ones outside walking around minus four

253
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.519
and Peoria sucks. That was hell. And that is your

254
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.679
comedy news on a Monday. I'm pretty sure there'll be

255
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.039
a Kimmel bonus episode, so I'll see it a few

256
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.480
hours and then back Tuesday with the normal episode to

257
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:01.000
have a good one.
