00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga Shock Media. You know, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.359
daily comedy news, A daily briefing on stand up comedy,
3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.199
comedians and the comedy industry. A sentence the algorithm loves
4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.559
Dave Chappelle might possibly perhaps bring back Chappelle show. We'll
5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.160
talk about that. Chappelle did an interview in Ohio the
6
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.640
other day and he said, sometimes people attach things to
7
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.640
your voice that don't necessarily have anything to do with you.
8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.119
Your responsibility is to be true to yourself and your work.
9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.320
The media used to talk crap about jokes that I did.
10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.039
None of that stuff's weighed my audience, So I feel
11
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.320
like I need to be true to something. Dave was
12
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.320
asked about walking away from Chappelle's show many years ago,
13
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.479
and would it ever come back. Dave said, if you
14
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.079
asked me that question a year ago, I would have
15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.799
told you absolutely not. But in the last few weeks
16
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.439
I'm considering it. Wow, that's massive. Can you imagine You
17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.000
may recall it's way back in two thousand and five,
18
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.000
Chappelle walked away from a deal with Comedy Central to
19
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.560
continue the show. That deal reportedly worth fifty million dollars.
20
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.680
Chappelle did not to comment on what a Chappelle's Show
21
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.239
revival would look like, or how that would come to be,
22
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.280
or if it's even real, but at least he's thinking
23
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.400
about it. Looking back, Dave said, one of the worst
24
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.840
things that can happen no comedian is becoming successful before
25
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.400
they get good, because you missed the port where you
26
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.599
get to explore and make mistakes. Dave also said, yesn't
27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.239
think about Legacy Machell, though Chris Rock and he had
28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.760
a conversation about it. Dave said, I'll be like, they're
29
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.719
gonna write books about us, and those guys will laugh,
30
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.280
but they might they might not. I'm lucky guy in
31
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.000
that respect. I don't know if I'm doing it on purpose,
32
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.760
but I dreamt of being a famous comedian and took
33
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.040
me forty years, but I did it. This is better
34
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.719
than I dreamt of. Boy, that would be massive news
35
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.359
if that comes back. Rommi Usef's a special ad on
36
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.799
HBO Tonight's nine Eastern Rommi Yusef. In the Love filmed
37
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.159
at the hide Out in Chicago, romy Yousef engages with
38
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.200
the audience as he approaches a vast spectrum of personal topics,
39
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.480
ranging from his marriage to Ai religion, being a dog parent.
40
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.760
He's even got some riad jokes that we heard in
41
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.480
the trailer. Looking forward to that one. I like him
42
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.879
a lot. I like the show Rommy a lot. Did
43
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.680
you watch Trevor Noah's especial yet? I will get to
44
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.199
that this weekend. Filmed at the Warner Theater in Washington,
45
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.759
d C. Trevor joked about the state of the world,
46
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.560
US politics, and social media, including the time that Donald
47
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.759
Trump threatened to sue Trevor Noah over an Epstein joke
48
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.280
at the Grammys. Trevor Noah said, it it's different when
49
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.800
you're in the crosshairs. I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty crazy,
50
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.879
Trevor said. While hosting The Daily Show for seven years,
51
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.000
he assumed at some point the President would come after him,
52
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.360
and he didn't. Trevor says, then I left the Daily
53
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.120
Show and I relaxed like an idiot horror movie. The
54
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.960
joke that upset the President of the United States was
55
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.800
told in February. Trevor Noah joked that the Song of
56
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.120
the Year award is a Grammy that every artist wants
57
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.039
almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense
58
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.120
because Epstein's island is gone. He needs a new one
59
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.520
to hang out with Bill Clinton. Trevor said he was
60
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.879
flying back to Boston. His phone was off. Then he
61
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.000
turned his phone back on, and he said, Honestly, I
62
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.599
thought the thing was malfunctioning because it started vibe before
63
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.560
the icons popped up. Every app was going crazy. I
64
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.599
messaged WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, even Uber Eatz was like, yo,
65
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.120
you got some hot stuff coming in. I went to
66
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.879
my messages and everyone I've ever known of my life
67
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.879
had texted me, everyone from kindergarten teachers onwards. Trevor pushed
68
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.719
back on Trump was saying the host Trevor Nea, whoever
69
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.719
he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel
70
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.639
at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Trevor said, you can't
71
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.400
say the host Trevor No, or whoever he may be,
72
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.680
because that's exactly who I may be. I understand he
73
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.240
was trying to dismiss me, but you said my full
74
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.319
name and my job title on the night. You can't
75
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.639
be dismissive and be vague and specific at the same time.
76
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.199
It's not how it works. Whoever he may be, I'd
77
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.479
be nobody else. There's no may in this equation. This
78
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.199
is exactly who I be. We will circle back to
79
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.080
politics in a few minutes. Alicid caught up with online
80
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.960
Athens and The Banner. Harold said, when they look at
81
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.680
his stand up, it doesn't feel like a routine or
82
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.280
an act. Were you always a fan of stand up
83
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.960
or did your style develop naturally? Alisidik said, I watched
84
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.960
a lot of comedy growing up, like Carol Burnett, he
85
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.560
Haw and mash Is he a lot older than I
86
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.400
thought he was? Does he? It was like shows I watched,
87
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.879
He's fifty two. Wow, I had no idea anyway you
88
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:07.960
watch Carol Burnett, he Han mash He said the timing
89
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.400
of those shows was funny to me. As far as albums, financially,
90
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:11.759
we didn't have a ton, but my dad had a
91
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.159
couple done Rickles, stuff like that. But my storytelling really
92
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.040
comes from my family. In my house, if someone was
93
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.959
explaining something, it was always let me tell you a story.
94
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.560
You can understand. Stories made things resonate, and if you
95
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.959
had a story behind what you were saying, it's stuck.
96
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.439
The Comedy Means Business podcast had on Pete Holmes. I
97
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.600
thought this was interesting. Pete said, I look at comedy
98
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.480
like a cactus. At this point in my career. I
99
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.639
try to water it just as little as possible. I'm
100
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.519
really trying to dial it in. How can I have
101
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.199
as much as a normal life and be with my
102
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.240
wife and daughter as much as I can, but still
103
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.879
do comedy. I understand that that sounds like a man
104
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.519
who's hit his forties. Absolutely. Pete home said, I've noticed,
105
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.720
on one hand, if I don't perform enough, I get irritable.
106
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.240
So there is not enough. And I love my wife
107
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.040
so much. We'll be at dinner and I'll be incapable
108
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.639
of tuning the people out there are next to us.
109
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.160
I'm neurotic. I'm like this effing guy, and she's like, Pete,
110
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.879
you need to do a set. Pete says the current
111
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.240
days are a wonderful time for comedy, but he does
112
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.759
have nostalgia for the old ways. He explains, I like
113
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.079
the old way because it felt really special. That's the
114
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.800
underreported benefit of gatekeepers like I remember when they were like,
115
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.800
you can do a comedy Central Presents. When I'm in
116
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.519
New York, I'll sometimes be on the corner and I'll
117
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.199
be like, oh my god, this is where it happened.
118
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.160
You don't get that feeling. Posting a TikTok clip. Late
119
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.199
Night er Erge talked about how comedians don't like Byron
120
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.800
Allen's Comics Unleashed. Doug Stanhope once said, I can't imagine
121
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.639
a more cruel or soul crushing insults a comedian. Then
122
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.079
you killed it on Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed. The whole
123
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.560
thing with that show is that episodes can air years
124
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.839
after they're taped thanks to a strict avoidance of topical material.
125
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.279
Comic Chris Gerzbeck tells Late Nighter it's one of those
126
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.160
shows that every comedian knows about because a lot of
127
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.360
comic beers go on it, But it's also understood it's
128
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.800
kind of lame. No respect to Byron Allen. The guy
129
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.079
has made it its life mission to prop up other comedians,
130
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.600
but the whole format just seems ridiculously forced. Roy Wood
131
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.319
Junior complain in twenty twenty three that his episode from
132
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.399
two thousand and eight was still in rotation. He said,
133
00:05:58.439 --> 00:05:59.959
no one is letting people know that all these up
134
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.439
so are at least fifteen years old. No longer true,
135
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.480
I will point out, Roy joked folks gonna think we're
136
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.240
dressing like this now. Early in the week, the President
137
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.639
of the United States posted on social media that Pope
138
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.680
Leo is week on crime and terrible for foreign policy.
139
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.600
The President had some other thoughts about the Pope. You
140
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.399
can read his social media page. Stephen Colbert chimed in, saying,
141
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.920
Pope Leo's week on crime. Yeah, man, he's the Pope.
142
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.920
He visits people in jail. That would be cool, though,
143
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.000
if the Pope did fight crime, then we could watch
144
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.399
murder Sheep. Pope love it. John Stewart said, I'm really
145
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.279
starting to sour on this president. What's going through Trump's mind?
146
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.759
What did the Pope say? He wants what dialogue? Peace?
147
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.360
He wants to choose the noblest aspirations of mankind to
148
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.879
show humanity at its greatest articulation. F that loser. This
149
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.879
guy's a loser. F that guy who died and made him. Oh,
150
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.480
I'm sorry, that's who died. I read joke by John
151
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.879
Colbert again. According to one Italian religious historian, not even
152
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.920
Hitler or Mussolini attacked the pope said directly in publicly.
153
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.480
It's never great when someone says you should really be
154
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.120
more discreet and respectful, you know, like Hitler, John Stewart again.
155
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.120
And look, President Trump, I know the Vatican has been
156
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.000
critical of your policies, but you got to remember, at
157
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:06.920
the end of the day, you and the Catholic Church
158
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.560
both historically care deeply about the same thing, covering up
159
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.720
sex scandals. I am excited. Next week on Thursday, it
160
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.720
is the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft. We have five teams.
161
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.319
Each team will draft a lineup of five comedians. The
162
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.800
teams are Team Analytics. They're focused on global appeal and
163
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.839
ticket sales. Team Purist they're just about stand up credibility.
164
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.240
You know. The Snobs. Team Chaos is kind of the opposite.
165
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.160
They're all about going viral. There's Team Industry. Those are
166
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.439
the suits, no passion at all, They're just building a show.
167
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.040
And then there's Team Alternative for the all to comedy fans.
168
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.040
It is the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft coming on Thursday.
169
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.839
Before we get to that, on Monday, we will have
170
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.600
the results of Comedy Survivor. Voting is now closed. We
171
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.519
had a whole thing last week where people were looking
172
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.480
at the count and being like, I got different numbers,
173
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.959
and I'm like I don't know, man. I think the
174
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.000
result is crystal clear this week, but it's down to
175
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.839
Sarah Silverman and Nikki Glazer. Monday at noon we will
176
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:15.000
find out who one comedy survivor. Today is Friday, and
177
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.959
I have found the theme music. It is time for
178
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:29.160
Comedy stock Market. Comedy stock Markets. Thank you, Bert Reynold.
179
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:30.639
It's good to have you back. In case you missed
180
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.679
it last week. I couldn't find the theme music, but
181
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.200
it's back all right, Comedy stock Market. Here's what we
182
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.799
do every Friday. I take a look at the comedians
183
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.840
and we try and find value. As I explain most weeks,
184
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.720
this is not about who's good who's bad. It's where
185
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.039
the value is. Like when you buy stocks and you
186
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.120
sell high and you buy low. That's what we're doing here.
187
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.080
Let's buy some Dave Chappelle. I mean, if there's even
188
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.720
a chance of Chappelle's show returning, we're gonna want to
189
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.600
scoop up some Chappelle. So let's do that before everybody
190
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.559
else notices by Dave spell. Let's also buy Dianne Morgan.
191
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.919
Now a lot of you might be like, who's that again?
192
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.679
That's kunk? Have you watched the Kunk stuff on Netflix.
193
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.000
It is hilarious. She's playing the Netflix Is at Joe
194
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.519
Comedy Festival coming up. I love Diane Morgan. Let's buy
195
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.840
some Diane. Also, let's buy some Flight of the Concords.
196
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.679
I mean, if tickets are going for six hundred and
197
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.240
ten dollars, they are sneakily more popular than I even
198
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.720
realize that they will also be playing the Netflix As
199
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.000
at Joe Comedy Festival, and they're saying they're not gonna tour,
200
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.159
but I think the buzz is so strong that the
201
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.480
allure of six hundred and ten dollars tickets is gonna
202
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.399
be too great, and the Concords will tour. And I've
203
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.639
got one sell for you this week. I've been thinking
204
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.960
about it for like ten days now. We gotta sell
205
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.039
Nicki Glazer. I know she's got the special and there's
206
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.519
gonna be a lot of press, but the press has
207
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.840
been bad. I just feel like the mainstream media is like, yeah,
208
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.039
Nicki Glazer, she's cool, she's cool, and the more Niki
209
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.799
speaks it doesn't help her, cause I feel like we're
210
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.240
past peak Nicki Glazer right now now. Although she could
211
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.559
win Comedy Survivor, but that aside, I feel like it's
212
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.039
time to sell Nicki Glazer. So those are your recommendations. Well,
213
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.679
buy Chappelle, buy Diane Morgan, buy the Concords, and we
214
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.360
will sell Nikki Glazer. That's your comedy stock market for
215
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.279
this week. Adam Sandler was at the premiere of the
216
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.679
new Netflix comedy Roommates. And what do you know? The
217
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:23.320
new Netflix comedy movie Roommates stars Sadie Sandler. That's right,
218
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.960
She's not an apple baby. She is one of Hollywood's
219
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.399
greatest actresses. And of course she has a leading role
220
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.519
in a Netflix coming of age flick. Sadie Sandler plays
221
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.399
an incoming college freshman who struggles to adjust to a
222
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.879
new life and new friendships in her first semester at school,
223
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.120
and how could she not be great in it? Adam
224
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.799
Sandler showed up dressed like me. He was wearing a
225
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.600
Nike zip up sweater, baye trousers, and colorful sneakers. Let's
226
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.240
see how to compare some Well, actually, no, not today.
227
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.440
I'm actually wearing a gray top in some gray sweats
228
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.320
and some gray shoes, so I'm not all colorful like usual,
229
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.120
and I do have on which hat is this? I
230
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.639
think this is my Detroit Tiger's cap that my daughter
231
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.279
got me when she visited Detroit. I digress. Now. Interestingly enough,
232
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.879
Sadie Saandlor got the leading role in the movie, which
233
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.200
is produced by Happy Madison. Now, if you're not familiar
234
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.960
with Happy Madison, that coincidentally is Adam Sandler's production company.
235
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.480
And this sayares on Netflix. Kevin Art never afraid to work,
236
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.799
he will be part of Jumanji three. He was joined
237
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.159
by Dueyenne the Rock Johnson and Jack Black. They were
238
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.080
at CinemaCon Vegas. We learned the title of the film
239
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.600
is Jumanji Open World. Kevin Hart said, we're pumped about
240
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.879
being back for another Jumanji. Dwayne the Rock Johnson tried
241
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.519
to thank some of the executives in the audience. Kevin
242
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.039
Hart jumped in and said, you don't have to know
243
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.120
these people, such Hollywood bs. That's hilarious. The Moontower Comedy
