00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.599
Hey there, I'm Jenny mack if your daily comedy news.
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.720
David Letterman was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and I gotta
4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.480
tell you him a mixed thoughts here. On the one hand,
5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.440
it felt like the old Dave. But on the other hand,
6
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.839
I kept thinking that Dave's appearance was the kind of
7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.000
guest that used to drive Johnny Carson nuts because Dave
8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.280
sits down and just starts doing shtick and isn't really
9
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.079
having a real conversation anyway. Let's listen. I've edited this
10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.119
down for pacing.
11
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:43.640
I love man. I love him more than Chinese food.
12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.159
That's right. I love him more than Valet Parking. I
13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.880
love him more than that cars for Kids song. I
14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.520
just that's really good. Yeah. Yeah. People are aware of
15
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.719
the fact that you are the leader of the resistance.
16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.479
I'm gonna suck up to you because I feel like
17
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.480
if I kind of tag along with you, I'll be
18
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.280
glorified in retrospect.
19
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.079
I know.
20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.640
It's kind of like you just sit there. If the
21
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.200
now this is irrespective of a party or political ideology,
22
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.719
irrespective part of your political ideology. If the leader of
23
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.319
the free world is a fool, the leader of the
24
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:30.480
free world, then should expect and examine every bit of
25
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.120
ridicule he received.
26
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.239
Kim Al asked Letterman if you ever missed hosting Late Night,
27
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.480
and Dave said, people used to know who I am
28
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.000
and now have to wear a name tag to get
29
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.480
anything going. I'm so glad to be out from under
30
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.439
this mess because people like you, and people like Stephen
31
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.920
Colbert and people like Seth Meyers do such a masterful
32
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.280
job of this defending democracy. Thank god for you they
33
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.439
got for others SNL and everybody else. I think it's
34
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.280
the way things need to be in a democracy that
35
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.879
seemingly this crippled Andy Dick was apparently discovered unresponsive in
36
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.359
Hollywood on Tuesday. Reports suggested it was an apparent overdose.
37
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.079
Photos obtained by TMZ show Andy Dick slumped over while
38
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.599
sitting on some stairs. The only male reported that. Witnesses
39
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.879
at the scenes said Andy Dick's friends rushed over to
40
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.639
him and shouted wake up. Others called nine to one one.
41
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.319
Some others say that Andy cried out for narcan, which
42
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.360
is a medication that is used to halt and reverse
43
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.719
the effects of opioid use, including in the event of
44
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.919
an overdose. Hope Bowl is okay with Andy Dick. Interesting.
45
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.919
Taylor Thomson's story surfaced yesterday. Now apparently she put out
46
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.080
a video on November eighteenth. Check your calendar this so
47
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.719
this has been around, but I only first saw any
48
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960
whiff of this yesterday. In the November eighteenth video, Taylor
49
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.840
Thompson said, as you guys know, I had to move
50
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.319
some shows because I got sick. And if you went
51
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:45.840
to a few of the shows in the weeks before,
52
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.240
you know I was sick for a little while, and
53
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.599
unfortunately I'm still sick and dealing with that. Luckily, I
54
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.800
have a great team and a great doctor, and I'm
55
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.000
trying to follow their advice at the moment. As a result,
56
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:55.319
I'm not going to be able to finish out these
57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.520
last cities on the Save Me Tour. This is not
58
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.400
an easy decision to make. It's not when I want
59
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.400
to make. Now this is really interesting, and maybe I'm
60
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.159
putting two and two together and getting seventeen. But you
61
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.599
may recall that after Midnight had been renewed, and then
62
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.840
Taylor said she didn't want to do it, and then
63
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.719
they unrenewed it, and then somebody, possibly perhaps looked at
64
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.240
late night in general, and got rid of Colbert. As
65
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.360
I've said in the past, I'm not blaming Taylor, but
66
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.919
she may be the butterfly that flapped their wings anyway.
67
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.319
Taylor Toman said, I haven't been one hundred percent for
68
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.479
a while now. I'm really bad at prioritizing my health,
69
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.840
and I think it's just caught up with me, and
70
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.800
I need to prioritize that at the moment and focus
71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.719
on getting healthy, not just like good enough to work,
72
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.719
which is what I usually do. And also like I
73
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.639
don't want to keep rescheduling on you guys, She explained,
74
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.800
it doesn't feel fair to keep pushing shows weeks or
75
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.879
months out. She's also worried that if the tour dates
76
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.159
were postponed until after her special is released, people will
77
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.199
think we could just watch this at home, So she says,
78
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.879
I just want to refunder your money. This sucks. Life happens,
79
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.919
and this is where we're at right now. I love
80
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.680
you and appreciate you think for understanding. She did not
81
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.199
clarify what her illness is, and again it's unclear to
82
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.960
me what she means by for a while now. If
83
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.319
that's after the twelve thirty renewal, or perhaps even before
84
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.240
and again, I might be adding two and two and
85
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.520
getting seventeen here. I hope you're doing okay, Taylor Tomlinson.
86
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.960
Sarah Sherman Special is out on HBO on Friday. Oh
87
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.800
good news. My son came home to get his new
88
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.079
phone and he knows I was a little frost about
89
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.560
the HBO thing, so he went down to the phone
90
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.279
company store and who's like, hey, Dad, it's not happy
91
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.759
with this. And apparently he found a cool customer service
92
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.639
rep who's putting the HBO back. So I'll be able
93
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.720
to watch Sarah Sherman without having to stand out in
94
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.199
the cold looking through someone else's window. Great news. I
95
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.360
also get to finish the Cheer Company. I had one
96
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.920
episode left, I mean, come on, Nylon asked Sarah Sherman, Hey,
97
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.839
you're on your fifth year at SNL. Wow is it
98
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.959
five years already? How you feeling about this season? Sarah said,
99
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.720
I was editing the special kind of right up on
100
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.519
a going back to work. So Shifting Gears has been
101
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.399
whiplashy and startlaning, but also kind of fun. The show
102
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.959
is forced me to be like, hey, you actually have
103
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.839
to write a joke. You can't just be screaming about
104
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.199
poop all the time. And I feel like the show's
105
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.000
made me more grounded. I know it's funny after watching
106
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.079
that to think of anything being grounded that I ever do.
107
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.120
But I'm in drag at work. Basically, they put me
108
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.800
in a lot of blonde wigs. I'm a normal woman
109
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.519
who's like, hey, grandma, whatever, All right, Sarah Sherman, how
110
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.680
do you want people to feel away walking from this special?
111
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.439
She says, I don't even know how I want them
112
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.120
to walk away. I want them to walk towards it.
113
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.639
That people wi see the post and be like, oh,
114
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.920
this isn't for me. This is for bisexuals in Brooklyn
115
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.920
with gay little haircuts. But I promise there's something I
116
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.839
did for everyone. There's jokes, there's stuff to look at.
117
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.079
It's definitely not boring. I hope people walk away not bored.
118
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.399
And she's reading the room. They asked her, all right,
119
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.079
what about people that only know you from SNL any warnings?
120
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.759
She said, do not eat while watching Oh my, I'm
121
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.480
looking forward to this one. Michelle Wolfe is on the
122
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.920
Good One podcast. She says being on stage is like
123
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.839
a tiny vacation and now that she's a mom. I've
124
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.279
become a much more efficient joke writer because I have
125
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.079
a limited amount of time to write jokes. Now I
126
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.120
feel like I have an actual personal life to talk about.
127
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.839
Although you do see reviews from people that are like
128
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.120
another comedian at a kid another time about being a parent,
129
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.600
and it's like, yeah, one of the most relatable experiences
130
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.399
a human can have. A good one asked her if
131
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.199
she could have gotten where she was in her career
132
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.040
if she'd become a mom earlier. Michelle said, as a
133
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.240
stand up, between touring and working at night and all
134
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.160
that stuff, it's nearly impossible to do it without an
135
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.120
extensive support system. In order for me to go on
136
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.399
a tour with a baby, it's a nanny, which means
137
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.720
more flights, more hotels. You're just spending a lot more money.
138
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.879
And earlier in my career, I wasn't making that much money.
139
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.279
I would have been spending at least what I was
140
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.279
making just to do the shows. So the kind of
141
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.439
grind that you have to have and stand up, I
142
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.560
don't think I would have been able to do it.
143
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.959
And even right now, I've got my eye on that
144
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.399
private jet money. At the moment, I know everyone can
145
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.160
roll their eyes about rich people right now, but I'll
146
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:34.600
tell you what, if I can travel on a jet
147
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.160
with two children, I'll post my feet on OnlyFans for
148
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.600
a little bit. The conversation changed to the Rio Comedy Festival.
149
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.000
Michelle was offered it and turned it down, and she said,
150
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.879
I didn't have to make a decision. The decision was
151
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.639
made for me. The show they offered me was on
152
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.079
October fourth, My due date was September twenty ninth, So
153
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.959
whether I wanted to do it or not really wasn't
154
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.360
part of the question. It would have been literally impossible,
155
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.160
and it had it been a different time, I really
156
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.600
would have had to weigh the pros and cons of
157
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.720
it because they were throwing crazy people and then in
158
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.519
your head you're like, well, maybe this opens up a
159
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.439
whole new market for me. But I do think anything
160
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.519
paid for by a government, that's a hard one to do,
161
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.279
and a lot of countries like this, everything's paid for
162
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:10.920
the eye of the government. You can travel to America
163
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.720
and do a lot of things that are not sponsored
164
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.560
and paid for by the government. If I had decided
165
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.160
to do the festival, I would have done jokes like
166
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.319
the ones I've released are very similar to them. I
167
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:20.800
would have been like, I got to throw at least
168
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.120
one or two of those in there. So I think
169
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.240
it's best for everyone that I didn't do it. But
170
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.319
I think a lot of people like Jessica Kerson, who
171
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.480
people got really angry with, but she said, I'll only
172
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.839
do it if I'm allowed to be an open lesbian
173
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.399
on stage, and they were like, okay, And I do
174
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.680
think that's important. I think what she did was a
175
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.800
big deal. I think was very brave of her. There
176
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.519
were probably a ton of people who had never heard
177
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.120
of lesbian new comedy, and I feel bad that people
178
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.600
got angry about that, because I think she's breaking a barrier.
179
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.199
Mike Apps got a Netflix special in January, so as
180
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.920
we head into late January, the nominees for Best stand
181
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.079
up Special of twenty twenty six will be either Mike
182
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.519
Epps or Morselo Hernandez. The special is called delusionalan to
183
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.079
be out January twenty seventh. It is Mike EPP's fifth
184
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.639
for Netflix. In it, he discusses how a little delusion
185
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.120
and a lot of hustle made him a star. There
186
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.600
was a Nicki Glazer item in the News I feel
187
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.279
like we knew this already, but Deadline reported it like
188
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.360
it was real, So maybe I'm just crazy Anyway. Nicki Glazer,
189
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.639
Fortune Fimester, and some others will join Kim Kardashian in
190
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.879
the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel. The film follows a
191
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.920
group of best friends from high school who attempt to
192
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.399
reconnect during a weekend jaunt to Vegas. When a hot outsider,
193
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.040
Kim Kardashian, crashes the weekend, they're forced to face their
194
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.240
messy lives, bad decisions, and unraveling friendships. Anthony Jelinek wrote
195
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.759
a guest piece for Vulture about books. Anthony writes, as
196
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.759
I'm writing this piece, I've read fifty one novels that
197
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.159
were released in twenty twenty five. I choose what to
198
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.600
read either based on the description written by the publisher
199
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.799
or because I recognized the author's name and enjoyed their
200
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.559
previous work. For the past five years, I've kept the
201
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.399
list of everything I've read, and then gone back through
202
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.440
and created a top ten list of novels I've read
203
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.759
from that year for social media to admire and or
204
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.799
make fun of. This year, I've graduated to publishing my
205
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.399
lin Vulture behind a paywall. His number one pick of
206
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.960
the year is Perfection by Vincenzo Letronico, translated by Sophie Hughes.
207
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.919
Jalnik tells us this one is tough to describe without
208
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.960
using some version of the word perfect. It's about a
209
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.919
young couple of digital creatives who can work from anywhere
210
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.600
in the world. They choose Berlin at a time when
211
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.840
living in Berlin was the coolest thing anyone could possibly
212
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.399
do with their youth. It's not just the only novel
213
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.440
I read twice this year, but the only one I
214
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.799
read in one sitting, riveted by the vivid description of
215
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.759
a life many of us consider, but few choose to pursue.
216
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.799
Jim Gaffigan released a clip on social media. Now, I
217
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.120
gotta be honest. I went into this cynically, going okay,
218
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.799
he was only on social media to sell us something,
219
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.000
But no, he didn't sell anything in this clip. The
220
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.240
material is really strong here. If you can imagine this
221
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.919
with a crowd, a lot of these jokes would have
222
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.879
landed as it is. It's just Jim talking into the camera,
223
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.519
laying down some I guess extra material he needed to
224
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.799
get out of his system. I did cut this down.
225
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.039
The original piece, which we'll find on Jim social media
226
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.200
as a minute forty two, which is kind of long
227
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.000
to excerpt. Tier. Let me give you a taste into
228
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:01.399
the break.
229
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:07.279
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Really, is
230
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:12.320
it the most wonderful? Have you been outside seeing the crowds,
231
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.080
the traffic, ever go through security in the airport in December.
232
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.960
I'll tell you one word that doesn't come to mind, wonderful.
233
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:29.360
Gossip Conna stood in the street, Gossip Conna, Bobby, Bobby,
234
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:38.840
gossip Conna with Johnny Mage. It's always a tree.
235
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.759
Pete Davidson spoke to People magazine. Pete is excited about
236
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.279
his new baby. He says he's just excited to meet
237
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.600
this little thing. And as for a name, he explains,
238
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.080
for a while, we were like, should we do that
239
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.320
weird Hollywood thing where it's like a color or something,
