00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.439
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.400
daily comedy news. David Cross posted on social media and

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.920
on his website a rather long piece titled my thoughts

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.079
on the Riodd Comedy Festival. David Cross writes, I've been

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:23.879
asked for my opinion on the re Odd Comedy Festival,

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.719
and rather than answer the same question twenty three times,

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.760
I'll just put this out there. Oh and I should

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.800
preface this with the fact that I was not offered

9
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:31.519
the gig, but it should go without saying that there's

10
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.880
not enough money for me to help these depraved, awful

11
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.479
people put a fun face on their crimes against humanity.

12
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.320
Here goes, what do you think? I think? I am

13
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.000
disgusted and deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing. The

14
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.079
people I admire with unarguable talent would condone this totalitarium

15
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.320
fiefdom for what a fourthouse, a boat more sneakers. We

16
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.119
can never again take seriously anything these comedians complain about,

17
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.320
unless it's complaining that we don't support enough torture and

18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.600
mass executions of journalists and LGBQT piece activists here in

19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.520
the States, or that we don't terrorize enough Americans by

20
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.000
flying plane and our buildings. I mean, that's it. You

21
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.719
have a funny bit about how you don't like Yankee

22
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.159
candles or airport lounges. Okay, great, but you're cool with

23
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.760
murder and or the publicating of women who were raped

24
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.920
and by having the audacity to be raped, we're guilty

25
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.239
of engaging in adultery. Got any bits on that. These

26
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.519
are some of my heroes and he put heroes in

27
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.560
all caps. David Cross continues, Now, look, some of you

28
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.319
folks don't stand for anything, so you don't have any

29
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.400
credibility to lose. But my god, Dave and Louis and

30
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.280
Bill and Jim clearly that you guys don't give a

31
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.159
shit about what the rest of us think. But how

32
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.879
can any of us take any of you seriously? Ever? Again?

33
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.159
All you're bitching about cancel culture and freedom of speech

34
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.040
and all that shit done, You don't get to talk

35
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.480
about it ever again. By now we've all seen the

36
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.359
contract you had to sign. You're performing for literally the

37
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.400
most oppressive regime on earth. They have slaves, for f's sake,

38
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.439
slaves and all caps. I don't understand how being rich

39
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.359
can make someone such a whore poor people desperate to

40
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.799
improve or their famili's lives. Sure, still not acceptable, but

41
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.120
I can understand the desperation of put food on the table.

42
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.159
But this, I mean, it's not like this is I'm

43
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.560
commercial for a wireless service or betting app. This is

44
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.319
truly the definition of blood money. You might as well

45
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.960
do commercials for Lockheed Martin or Zyklon B. Holy shit,

46
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.199
I remember the backlash I got for appearing in Alvin

47
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.120
and the Chipmunks. He would have thought I'd taken money

48
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.439
from a bunch of people responsible for funding al Qaeda.

49
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.879
Unless you open your sets with this is dedicated to

50
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.159
all the widows and widowers and kids orphaned by this bloodthirsty,

51
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.360
oppressive regime, especially from the zany Shenanigans on nine to eleven.

52
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.919
Never forget mfr's all right, so it's great to be here.

53
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.960
I'm gonna be killing it tonight, but in the good way.

54
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.479
Straight up, no nbs. Then your hypocrisy will never not

55
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.319
be noted. Signed David. David adds a PS for anyone

56

67
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.840
Comedy Festival with his critically acclaimed show Nama Stay. Known

68
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.680
for his whipsmore takes on culture, politics and identity, Omen

69
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.159
has long been a staple on the international comedy circuit.

70
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.400
Conan O'Brien was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

71
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.639
He reminded Stephen of some advice he had given. Conan said,

72
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.120
just as I was leaving my late night show, it

73
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.719
took you and all the other late night hosts, how

74
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.919
remember this. I took you to a wonderful sizzler restaurant.

75
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.439
We all had our trays and I told you, guys,

76
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.319
take care of Late Night. If you take care of

77
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.400
Late Night, we'll take care of you. I said, don't

78
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.479
do anything to ruffle any feathers. Remember I said that.

79
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.960
And I said, whatever you do, don't speak truth to power.

80
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.000
I said, Cowardice is the way. Conan said in the

81
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.280
twenty eight years of hosting Late Night, he never read

82
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.719
the news. I had a masturbating bear and a plastic dog.

83
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.680
I didn't even know who was president. Conan then got serious,

84
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.879
telling Stephen Colbert, I have, of course adore you. I

85
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.599
love you. I know he's a person and also as

86
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.520
a comedic force. And I, like a lot of people,

87
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.560
am very sad that this chapter's ending. But I also

88
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.479
want to say that you're gonna do amazing things. You're

89
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.000
gonna have a lot of fun. And the connection you

90
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.000
have and this isn't just you, it's mister Kimmel and

91
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.719
Fallon all these guys. It's very special. The connection you

92
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.680
have with the audience you're taking with you. No one

93
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.879
else owns that that's yours for the rest of your life.

94
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.920
Conan actually sat behind the desk at one point, which

95
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.600
is kind of a cool photo. Jimmy Kimmel was doing

96
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.959
his show in Brooklyn, last night, Kimmel and Colbert were

97
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.160
going to go on each other's shows. We'll talk about

98
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.079
that tomorrow because I want to like relax with the

99
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.399
bonus episodes. Kimmel's monologue made front of Trump, including Trump's

100
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.560
decision to release the Earhart files. Kimmell said, the President's

101
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.120
been hard at work coming up with all sorts of

102
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.480
nonsense to distract us from the Epstein files. Unless her

103
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.120
final flight was to Epstein's island, no one cares. At

104
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:49.920
least they made it to the ease in the files.

105
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.199
That's progress. Taylor Swift, she'll be on Fallon on is

106
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.079
it Monday? Yes, Monday. She'll also be on Seth Myers

107
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.399
on Wednesday. Why sorry, did I say that out loud?

108
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.040
Taylor will be the solo guest on Seth Myers. I

109
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.800
guess Taylor wants to reach like nine hundred thousand people.

110
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.160
Does Taylor have some weird alliance with NBC? Speaking of

111
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.360
late night, Latenighter dot Com has a wonderful oral history

112
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.000
of David Letterman's top ten list. A little too busy

113
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.240
this week to get to that. I'll get to that

114
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.319
at some point. I haven't even gotten to the Vulture interview.

115
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.000
With David Letterman that came out before Kimmelgate. I've been

116
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.680
sitting on that. I've had it in the script several

117
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.240
days in a row, and I keep bumping it because

118
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.720
there's so much going on. For example, THEO Vonn's performance

119
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.120
the other night, people are worried about THEO Vaughn. Vanity

120
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.279
Fair had someone at that show, and they say THEO

121
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.720
seemed jittery after briefly taking the stage once he had

122
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.839
been on the set and started over, only to pick

123
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.519
a member of the audience to be kicked out and

124
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.199
start over again. Vanity Fair rights wasn't clear from their seat,

125
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.439
nor from the heated discussion that played out afterwards in

126
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.399
the THEO Reddit form why that happened. A representative for

127
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.240
Theovon didn't return her quest for comments, says a Vanity

128
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.800
Fair from the stage, THEO said a lot of white

129
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.800
people in here, Vanity Fair tells us as THEO settled in,

130
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.160
he did chunks on racism his childhood. One of the

131
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.319
jokes I'm sure told much better than I will. But

132
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.600
reading the text here, we didn't have any Jews growing up,

133
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.639
couldn't afford a jew, Vanity Fair said, for all the

134
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.240
hours of podcasting and stand up, Vaughn has maintained an elusiveness.

135
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.399
It was difficult to imagine him processing on stage the

136
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.639
influence and soft power he's acquired. Instead, as he approached

137
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.120
the end of his set, he returned to a now

138
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.959
familiar mode of troubled vulnerability. Vaughn said, sometimes the only

139
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.959
way I can feel is in front of other people.

140
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.680
Mark Maren had jud abbatow on Monday Show. I actually

141
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.199
blew it off because I was like, I got enough

142
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:35.759
in my phone. I'm never going to get to that one.

143
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.800
But apparently Maren did a clip show of sorts and

144
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.680
looked back on previous episodes. We I'm going to go

145
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.839
back and listen to this. Apparently they got into Maren's

146
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.879
relationship with Louis c K. You may recall Louis c

147
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.279
K admitted to sexual misconduct back in twenty seventeen or so,

148
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.439
let's not get into that today. Maren recalled on the

149
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.879
podcast that c K felt betrayed because Maren described the

150
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.560
behavior as boundary shattering and TRAUMAIZ, insisting there was no

151
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.160
way to justify it. Ck didn't take kindly to being

152
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.639
called out by Maren. Maren said on Monday's podcast, c

153
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:10.759
K reached out to see if c K cout him

154
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.000
on the show and explain himself. Maren agreed in theory,

155
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.959
but told c K he had no interest in revisiting

156
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.439
his own condemnation. C K saw no point in appearing

157
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.600
without addressing that and then declined to come on. Maren

158
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.879
noted when he's run in to Ck on the comedy scene,

159
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.680
CK's been cordial, but doesn't sound like there's anything warm there.

160
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.240
Jimmy Carr, He's going to be appearing at the READD

161
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.319
Comedy Festival. He also will have a new show on

162
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.079
Comedy Central UK with the title Am I the A Hole?

163
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.800
That'll be out on Monday, October twenty seventh at nine pm,

164
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.959
based on the reddits of the same name. A panel show.

165
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.199
Jimmy and two other judges look at some questionable characters

166
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.120
and there are questionable choices. I have an idea for

167
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.720
an episode, Jimmy, if you want to hear it, shoot

168
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.560
me a I'll tell you on the side what we

169
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.959
could look at people do make questionable choices. I think

170
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.920
this is a great idea for a show. Each episode

171
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.519
sees the three judges delve into a series of jaw

172
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.000
dropping admissions, shocking family fallouts, and moments of pure social chaos.

173
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.480
As they asked the all important question is this person

174
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.519
really an a hole? With sharp wit and zero toalents

175
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.519
for nonsense, the panel debates the gray areas of human behavior,

176
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.639
sometimes relatable, sometimes ridiculous, and ultimately deliver the verdict, and

177
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.879
it's Jimmy Carr who casts the deciding vote, are they

178
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.200
an a hole? The series starts October twenty seventh on

179
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.440
Comedy Central UK, the next day on Paramount Plus. And

180
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.759
if you'd like to see Jimmy Carr live, he'll be

181
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.399
at the ri On Comedy Festival. He's co headlining with

182
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.799
Louis c K October sixth at the ANB Arena. For

183
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.240
some reason, everybody except you and me, I didn't announce one,

184
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.759
but everybody else announced a comedy special. Sarah Sherman will

185
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.279
have her debut comedy special at HBO. I'm hoping this

186
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.480
is an HBO special and not one of those HBO

187
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.480
Max specials they run on Friday night, and I'm hoping

188
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.720
this is a proper Saturday night one, but they haven't

189
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.200
given a date yet. It is called Sarah Squirm Live

190
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:11.159
Plus in the flesh. We're sold. Sarah Sherman as Sarah Squirm,

191
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.159
rips off the strait jacket. Unleash is a festering hour

192
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.519
of bodily fluids, open wound confessionals, and jokes that will

193
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.919
leave skid marks on your soul. There's a description. Sarah

194
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.200
Sherman cautions us word to the wise, don't watch while eating.

195
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.000
Nina Rosenstein, who's the EVP of HBO Programming but not

196
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.919
good at giving fun quotes, said, Sarah's first special is

197
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.200
so distinctly her own. She's hysterically funny, wildly creative, and

198
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.600
has a kind of fearless audacity that makes this special

199
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.960
truly unforgettable. Thank you for the safe quote, Nina Rosenstein,

200
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.720
VP of HBO Programming for late Night and Specials, appreciate you.

201
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.720

performed at the Edinburgh Fringe. Mike Kaplan offers advice to

210
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.240
traditional marriage, polyamory, quantum physics, psychedelics, music, god and more.

211
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.240
Kaplan says, of Reeny, I'm a better person because of her.

212
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.200
I'm a better comedian because of her. We created this

213
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.840
show about our relationship together on artistic collaboration, about our

214
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.440
own romantic collaboration. Leslie Jones will have a comedy special,

222
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.559
that guy, Jay Leno. You know this guy, he'll weigh

223
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.600
in on late night comedy like he has any idea

224
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.080
what he's talking about. Well, listen to this Jay Leno's garage,

225
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.799
Jay Leno got behind the wheel of a nineteen ninety

226
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.120
Mercedes Benz one ninety e EVO two. Jay called it

227
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.639
one of the primo cars of the nineteen nineties. Yeah,

228
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.639
back when he was on late night television, he said

229
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.519
this was the BMW killer. He apparently wanted to drive

230
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
one for more than thirty years. Jay Leno said, this

231
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.279
is a car that has eluded me since the day

232
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.840
came out. After admit I was a bit of a snob.

233
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.519
I bet you were, Jay Leno. He was looking down

234
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.559
on the car. It's four cylinder engine, but then he

235
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.720
started reading about it and suddenly he was interested. And

236
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.559
he said by the time I got interested, they were gone. Well,

237
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.639
only five hundred of them were made, and Jay couldn't

238
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.120
get his hands Now. Jay Leno saying, the more I

239
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.080
drive this, the more I like this. It's actually a

240
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.320
lot of fun. Surprised he didn't weigh on late night

241
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.960
television while I was driving his car. Guy's the worst.

242
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.399
Pete Davison, who's going to be at the Riodd Comedy

243
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.480
Festival on Friday. He was on Shark Tank. He was

244
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.600
there as a celebrity investor backing sock brand Double Soul.

245
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.759
So you know, when you're drinking your Jim Gaffigan bourbon

246
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.440
and with a some Tom Pop of bread, maybe you're

247
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.679
having a ben still or soda, put on some Pete

248
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.559
Davison socks. I mean, these comedians are just unbelievably cool.

249
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.759
Pete Davison his father was killed at nine to eleven.

250
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.799
He'll be at the Riodd Comedy Festival on Friday and said,

251
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.320
I get sent a lot of crap, and I usually

252
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.120
give it to my cousins. I got sent double Soul

253
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.240
socks a couple of years ago and I had to

254
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.519
meet the team, and I wanted to be involved immediately.

255
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.840
Pete invested one million dollars for a ten percent ownership

256
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.320
stake and signed on as the brand's creative director in

257
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.000
twenty twenty four. The brand markets itself on three pillars

258
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.159
self expression, comfort and sustainability. And that is your comedy

259
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.840
news for today. We'll see what happens in the next

260
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.919
twenty four hours and we'll meet back here tomorrow.
