Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.480
Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. If
3
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.439
you skip the holiday weekend, I get it, but I'll
4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.519
tell you there were real episodes Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.839
No holiday filler, Plenty of fun news in there, some
6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.480
fun moments. Check that out in today at the halfway mark,
7
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.480
I'll have a major announcement. But before that, just a really,
8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.839
really shocking development in the make twelve thirty great Again movement.
9
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.039
If you're a regular listener, you know that the President
10
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.159
and I are not aligned on all the issues, but
11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.280
one of the issues we are aligned on is the
12
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.640
twelve thirty NBC franchise Late Night. We need to make
13
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.799
it great again. The President, like me, not impressed by
14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.240
what Seth Myers is handing in. The President on social
15
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.119
media posted, why does NBC waste its time and money
16
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.079
on a guy like this? Which is a good question.
17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.320
We need to get back to the good old days
18
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.399
of throwing things off a five story tower, or masturbating
19
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.039
bears or whatever Jimmy Fallon did while he hosted the
20
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.000
Thing Friends. This is very tough for me. David Letterman
21
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.200
has weighed in on the situation. Now you're probably like John, Yeah, Letterman.
22
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.159
I mean, he's got to know, like, what is Seth doing?
23
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.719
He should be throwing stuff off a tower. He should
24
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.920
be having Chris Elliott on doing fun bits. That's what
25
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.599
I would hope David Letterman would say. But friends, no,
26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.120
David Letterman on the wrong side of the make twelve
27
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.280
thirty Great Again movement.
28
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:24.159
Let's listen, the President of the United States now wants
29
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.439
to fire Seth Myers.
30
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.000
Hell yeah, and I thought this is just delightful me.
31
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.680
How do you think that's gonna go? So anyway, I've
32
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.239
never been more proud of Seth Myers. That's our old show.
33
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.359
As a matter of yees, yeah, we used to do
34
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.000
that show and he does a magical job. But just
35
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.760
remember Seth. Things happen.
36
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:45.519
I think Dave may have lost it. It could just
37
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.359
be he got really old and he just forgot what
38
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.280
twelve thirty is supposed to be, Like make twelve thirty
39
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.640
great again? The President doing a great job on this issue.
40
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.280
More masturbating bears, more throwing things off a tower, more
41
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.120
Chris Eliot. David Letterman continues to cause me personal pain.
42
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.319
He's on Netflix today as a new episode. He has
43
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.400
a new episode of his talk show My Next Guest
44
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.799
Is or whatever it's called, Today's guest Adam Sandler. Now,
45
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.080
hopefully David Letterman is asking Adam Sandler questions about how
46
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.000
Adam Sandler is a great dramatic actor and not in
47
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.000
any way making Adam Sandler think that Adam Sandler's funny. Dave,
48
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.919
I hope you did not let me down twice in
49
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.199
one day. That would pain me terribly. But yes, add
50
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.599
on Netflix today David Letterman with the great, great dramatic
51
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.080
actor Adam Sandler. Things not going Johnny max Way lately,
52
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.280
I sold yesterday. Jim Gaffickin's Bourbon special doing really well
53
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.680
on YouTube. I don't get it. You're only going to
54
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.560
encourage him to do more. Everybody go watch Kevin Hart
55
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.159
special for something actually funny. A variety watched Jim Gaffigin's car.
56
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.000
They were curious, Jim, when did you find success? You
57
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.400
were on Letterman and then quickly given a TV show
58
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.120
called Welcome to New York, which was canceled after one season.
59
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.560
What was it like to reach that peak and have
60
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.039
a ticket away? Jim Gaffikins said, I feel like my
61
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.639
career is this balance between creative fulfillment and getting caught
62
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.520
up in other people's expectations. And when you get caught
63
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.120
up in other people's expectations, that's when you become frustrated.
64
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.639
I know, I would expect somebody who you helped earlier
65
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.639
in their career would call you back, and then when
66
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.360
they don't, that's very frustrating. So I understand what you're saying,
67
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.280
Jim Gaffigan. Jim said, it's weird because comedians are very
68
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.120
much self servers, but they also have to be cooperative
69
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.560
and compliant. They go in a club environment and they
70
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.240
have to be deferential to the person who books it,
71
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.800
the person who oversees it. So they have to be
72
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.199
audacious to get there, but they also have to be deferential.
73
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.960
They need some schmoozing skills. But in the entertainment industry,
74
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.400
particularly when creating and executing a show, you have to
75
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.520
be protective of your ideas. I'm not saying you have
76
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.879
to be Rosanne, but you have to be protective. The
77
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.840
skills that work in stand up, not just the writing,
78
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.919
but the businesses stand up are completely different from the
79
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.479
sitcom or TV world. Acting is something I love, but
80
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.599
it's insane. I used to say auditioning is like stripping,
81
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.560
but you don't get a dollar. There's an amount of
82
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.719
humiliation and rejection every creative person has to embrace. Jim Gaffigan,
83
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.400
are their boundaries you would not cross? Good question? Jim
84
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.719
said it sounds corny, but being a comedy nerd and
85
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.439
having studied stand up, I do think there's an aftertaste
86
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.479
to stand up that people don't realize. I don't want
87
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.360
my stand up to leave people with that ichy feeling.
88
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.000
I don't want to punch down. We all have friends
89
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.719
who are super bitchy and gossipy, and they're great to
90
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.280
hang out with, but in an hour after that, you're like,
91
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:06.879
I feel kind of bad. We were making fun of
92
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.159
Melissa forever, not saying I'm not guilty of this, but
93
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.360
there is a lot of anger and I have a
94
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.479
very dark heart. But it's better to bring insight and
95
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.280
make a joke as a commentary on all humans. Good
96
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.199
follow up here. In a recent special, Jim had a
97
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.040
joke about pat retiring from Wheel of Fortune, the punchline
98
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.240
being long lines. So if you can't retire from playing hangman,
99
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.360
isn't that punching down Jim said, no, Honestly, that's a
100
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.120
good example, because I wouldn't want Pats a Jack to
101
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.600
be like, why is he picking on me? That's where
102
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.439
it's imperfect. I tried to set up the joke where
103
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.000
he seems like a loving guy, but the point of
104
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.959
the joke was he was making seventeen million dollars a
105
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.360
year for playing Hangman. The meat of the joke is
106
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.800
more commentary on how our priorities in society are all
107
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.240
over the place. Pat Sajack was compensated because people had
108
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.480
an affinity for him. He was efficient, he was likable,
109
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.759
he was charming. But maybe a teacher should make more
110
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.360
than him. Shane Gillis is going to play Lincoln Financial Field,
111
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.240
home of the NFL Philadelphia Eagles, over sixty thousand seats.
112
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.160
He sold it out in half an hour. That shows
113
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.040
July seventeenth. The Daily Mail was very excited about this one.
114
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:06.160
Canceled comedian Louis c K devours Hollywood legend's widow on
115
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.959
streets of NYC as steamy romance is revealed. Okay, what's this? Well,
116
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.600
you see Louis c K just back from the Riod
117
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.399
Comedy Festival, spotted passionately kissing Philip seymour Hoffman's longtime partner
118
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.839
Mimi O'Donnell. That's right, Mimi was seen with Louis c
119
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.040
K eleven years after Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away. Now
120
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.639
The Daily Mail says that Mimi O'Donnell is now Spotify's
121
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.600
head of scripted fiction. Hmm, mister ck just wrote a book,
122
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.879
didn't he. That's interesting, We're told in the PDA Louis
123
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.879
c K passionately put his hand on the back of
124
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.439
her head. Josh Johnson got some attention for joking about
125
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.079
New York City Mayor elect Zora and Mumdani. Johnson was
126
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.680
joking about mum Donnie's visit to the White House where
127
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.759
the Mayor elect and the president got along. Maybe they
128
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.480
were talking about twelve thirty. Josh started by defining a communist,
129
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.759
saying that it refers to those individuals who want everyone
130
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.079
to eat or want some kind of grocery store for themselves.
131
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.000
And then he said, for his part, you know, Zoren
132
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.519
only really brought up Trump when he was asked. He
133
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.279
wasn't one of those people that was companning on like
134
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.519
opposing Trump specifically. You know what I mean, and it's
135
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.160
wild that those two were in the same place. Johnson
136
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.279
tagged that with I would have been like, Nah, sounds
137
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.839
like a setup. I know a setup when I see
138
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.920
one hand's papers. Dot Com had some questions for tig
139
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.480
Nataro Rapid Fire tig Nataro questions. Favorite book The Five
140
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.199
Am Club by Robin Sharma. The last thing to chock
141
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.959
your breath away tick Nataro. Five deer lying close together
142
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.920
off a wooded trail. Interesting, last thing I made you
143
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.519
cry getting tough news about a dear friend. What would
144
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.160
be your last meal? My morning's smoothie? Something worth fighting
145
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.319
for planet Earth? If that goes, we go, something worth
146
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.399
giving up expectations. Spend an afternoon with anyone alive or dad.
147
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.240
Who would it be, she said, my mother. I'd love
148
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.120
to introduce her to my family. Any interesting objects in
149
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.680
your home or studio? Her answer A beautiful crystal on
150
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.279
our mantle from singer Edie Burkel. Last film you watched? Friendship?
151
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.399
What's the movie? Everyone should watch the documentary Come See
152
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.319
Me in the Good Light on Apple TV plus this.
153
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:21.040
Fall Sixteen Comedians, One Island And in the end, only
154
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.759
one thing matters. Your vote alliances will form, bits will evolve,
155
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.839
Johnny Mack will beat recurring jokes to their breaking point.
156
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:39.040
Sixteen comedians, one recurring bit, one Survivor. This January on
157
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.319
Daily Comedy News, Outbit Outlaugh Outlast, this is Comedy Survivor.
158
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.199
That's right, Comedy Survivor will be the new bit. Here's
159
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.279
how this is going to work. This week, in the
160
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.079
Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, you're
161
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.879
gonna find a cartoon image for Comedy Survivor. In that thread,
162
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.519
I want you to make nominations for who should be
163
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.720
part of this contest. Then we'll let the holidays go by,
164
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.240
and then in January, every week in the Facebook group
165
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.079
Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, you will vote one person
166
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.600
off the comedy island and we will see who wins. Now,
167
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.360
I want to remind you it doesn't really matter this.
168
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.519
The whole thing is a bit. There's no actual island,
169
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.879
there's no prize. This is a bit. So let's all
170
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.040
tee each other up so that we can hopefully make
171
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.000
for an entertaining podcast. And with that in mind, I
172
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.360
have pre selected four people who would be part of
173
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.839
Comedy Survivor. You guys get to pick the other twelve,
174
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.039
but the four that I am putting on the island
175
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.960
for reasons that you should understand if you listen to
176
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:41.120
this podcast. They are Adam Sandler, Jay Leno, Joe Coy,
177
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.000

hundred and sixteen thousand tickets fourteen shows. What's fifteen point
192
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.440
eight million divided by two hundred and sixteen thousand. Serie
193
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.519
tells me seventy three point one four so on average,
194
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.720
seventy three bucks to go see Nate Pergatzy must be
195
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.120
Nice CNN. On Year's Day, they'll have a documentary called
196
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.519

197
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.720
deep dive into both the myth and the men, featuring
198
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.960
interviews with the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Lorne Michaels, Kevin Kneelan,
199
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.600

up one of twelve children, sneaking a beer in a church,
