Did Louis C.K. face any ramifications after all? PLUS Sam Kinison's influence on Norm Macdonald

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.439
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack
with your daily comedy News. Last week,

2
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:18.079
both Joe Biden and Donald Trump secured
their various nominations. Michael costa joke

3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.879
it's now officially a three man race
between Trump, Biden, and Natural Causes.

4
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.800
Stephen Colbert said it feels like if
Muhammad Ali fought Joe Fraser. Now.

5
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:33.200
Seth Meyers commented on Trump discussing possibly
cutting Social Security and Medicare. That

6
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.960
said, Dude, you're seventy seven. Those should be your favorite things right

7
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.280
now. Let's be honest. You
could use the cash. The Mark Twain

8
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.159
Prize for American Humor will be broadcast
on Netflix. The Kennedy Center announced a

9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.920
new multi year partnership with Netflix that'll
bring the Mark Twain's Prize to Netflix.

10
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.799
This year's celebration will honor Kevin Hart. It takes place Sunday, March twenty

11
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.359
fourth. The show will be recorded
and stream on May eleventh, towards the

12
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.759
end of the Netflix As a Joke
Festival. This year's ceremony is scheduled to

13
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.560
include Dave Byrd, Little Dickie Right
Interesting, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Fallon,

14
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.280
Chelsea Handler, the Plastic cup Boys, Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock interesting combination.

15
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.680
There al dot com as in Alabama. Dot com spoth to Morland Wayans

16
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.439
he is touring, and he said, I think the world's going through enough

17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.400
problems. I don't care about politics. I don't care about like all the

18
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.319
divisive topics. I mentioned some things, But the reality is I talk about

19
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.439
me because that disarms everybody, and
people could be so sensitive nowadays. But

20
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.000
it's not in the comedy clubs.
But I feel like for me, my

21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.480
discovery of self as an artist means
explore myself, explore my pain, and

22
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.599
the deeper I go in there the
funnier I became his new specials called Good

23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.719
Grief. It'll be out on Amazon
this summer. Filmed at the Apollo.

24
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.480
Good Grief is about dealing with the
death and loss of his parents. He

25
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.040
says, taking you through this dark
journey that's really light because what you find

26
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.879
through all this is the appreciation of
your parents, no matter how good or

27
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.239
bad they were. Nobody's perfect.
But in the special, I embrace what's

28
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.840
good, make fun of what was
bad, and I leave them with a

29
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.920
smile in my heart and the audience
with a smile. Tracy Morgan will headline

30
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.439
the twelfth annual April Fools Comedy Jam. When is the April Fool's Comedy Jam?

31
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.360
Wrong? It's on April fifth for
some reason. This is in the

32
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.159
Barclay Center in Brooklyn, where Sting's
playing, and I didn't want to go.

33
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.960
I mentioned the other day I'm not
paying two hundred and ninety dollars for

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.479
Sting tickets. Also, I'm not
going to Brooklyn. I was trying to

35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:23.800
get a different venue. I'm not
going from New Jersey to Brooklyn, and

36
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.639
you insane. I'd rather fly to
la and see Sting there would actually be

37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.080
easier. I digress. The twelfth
Annual April Fools Comedy Jam at the Barcley

38
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.960
Center, which I won't go to. I headlined Tracy Morgan. Also stars

39
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.800
Deal, Hugh Lee, Bruce,
Bruce Nephew, Tommy, Lonnie Love,

40
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.039
dj Envy, Jess, Hilarious,
London Brown, Chante Wayans, Tory Hart,

41
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.120
Brian Hooks, Coco Brown, and
more. We are told fans can

42
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.680
expect an unforgettable night of entertainment.
Okay, cracked dusted this one off.

43
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.919
I thought this was interesting. Early
in Norm MacDonald's stand up career. He

44
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.439
had a routine about dogs that did
really well on late night shows. The

45
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.280
joke, these dogs, they're getting
kind of expensive. He goes to a

46
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.439
pet store where a high pressure salesman
tries to sell him a five hundred dollars

47
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.280
pit bull. So the guy goes, buy this dog. Here, there's

48
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.039
a pit bull. It would protect
your valuables. You know, I don't

49
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.800
have any valuables. If I bought
a pit bull, that would be the

50
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.800
most valuable thing I own. I'd
have to buy something to protect it.

51
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.599
I'd be out shopping for wolverines.
My half assed norm is even more half

52
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.360
assed than usual. Listen a Saturday
show and you'll understand why. At one

53
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.719
point, Norma told Tom Green Sam
Kinnison came to Canada. He wasn't famous

54
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.599
or nothing. He took a liking
to me and took me across the country.

55
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.800
Was the greatest time I ever had. I had a good act.

56
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.599
Sam said, you've got good jokes, man. I know I should talk

57
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.080
about dogs here. Really interested in
dogs? Norm said, no, I

58
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.680
don't give a hood about dogs.
Kennison said, why don't you talk about

59
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.159
what you're interested in? Norm said. From then on it became death.

60
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.960
I don't know what the average person
thinks. I think you know it's always

61
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.319
on your mind. I'll ruminated about
it for long periods of time for no

62
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.680
purpose or no avail. It's worthless
except for generating jokes. He said,

63
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.599
I did death material in my stand
up special. Now that's gone so I

64
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.680
can move on. I really just
think about stuff for stand up. I

65
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.479
got caught on one subject for a
long period of time. Once I've exhausted

66
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.439
the subject, I'm free now in
my life not to think about death.

67
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.360
Norm said, I'm very, very
proud of stand up. I'm ashamed of

68
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.879
almost everything else like this interview.
The Aussies did not enjoy a comedy roast

69
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.319
of John Klees. Yahoo says despite
heavy promotion by the local network on which

70
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.800
it aired, the roast of John
Clees was a ratings and critical failure.

71
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.959
I got less than one third of
the audience that reality series Married at First

72
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.120
Sight got. Wow Viewers expressed their
disappointment at the unfunny hour long show.

73
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.000
One person on Twitter said, we
have an enviable climate, but Australians do

74
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.199
not do comedy well. The John
Clees roast was a shocker. Comedian Tom

75
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.480
Gleeson joke. When I was growing
up, I was a big fan of

76
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.240
Monty Python. But then again,
I was also a fan of Bill Cosby

77
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.920
and Ralph Harris. So I'm just
bracing myself for the allegations. When viewers

78
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.079
said it's important when you're ro John
Clees on National TV to actually roast the

79
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:10.600
recipient, I asked chat GPT to
roast John Clees. They said John Colees's

80
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.120
comedy is so timeless, even as
wrinkles of bunch lines. They say,

81
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.879
behind every great man is a great
woman. In John Cleese's case, it's

82
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.720
probably his therapist. See those aren't
bad. The Guardian watched the film Sorry

83
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.600
Not Sorry and wrote, the outrageousness
of what Louis c K did is totally

84
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.279
lost in the film. Caroline sue, I hope I'm saying your name right.

85
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.560
Suh is a filmmaker and when of
the stuff about Louis came out in

86
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.480
twenty seventeen, Caroline said, my
immediate reaction was, honestly, is it

87
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.959
that bad? And my generation when
we were coming up, we saw a

88
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.240
lot of bad behavior and it was
like, that's just the way it is.

89
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.279
Shortly afterwards, in a statement,
Louis c K said at the time,

90
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.839
I said to myself what I did
was okay because I never showed a

91
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.879
woman my stuff without asking first,
which is also true. What I learned

92
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.240
later in life, too late,
is that when you have power over another

93
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.639
person, asking them to look at
your stuff isn't a question. It's a

94
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.519
predicament for them. The power I
had over these women is that they admired

95
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.160
me, and I wielded that power
irresponsibly. Caroline analyzed her own initial reaction

96
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.160
and began to see it as outdated, but she wanted explore it came from.

97
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.720
She teamed up with fellow filmmaker Karen
Monas to create this documentary. Monas

98
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.040
initially worried about giving Louis a platform, but said they centered on the women

99
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.240
and realized how little most people knew
about the backlash. This is interesting,

100
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.519
writer Abbie Shackner The Guardian says essential
to both the film and the original York

101
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.600
Times story. After she was subjected
to Louis Ck doing self stuff during a

102
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.839
phone call, was criticized in a
Netflix special by Dave Chappelle. According to

103
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.560
The Hollywood Reporter, Chappelle be Little's
her claim that CK's behavior deterred her from

104
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.560
pursuing a career in comedy, and
says, B word, you don't know

105
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.120
how to hang up a phone.
How the after you're going to survive and

106
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.800
show business if this is an actual
obstacle to your dreams. So the question

107
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.040
is always why did the women react
like that? It's never why did ck

108
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.800
do what he did? Caroline says, the outrageousness of what Louis did is

109
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.839
totally lost in the discussion. Sorry
not sorry. He's on streaming platforms w

110
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.920
comal Bell is doing a San Francisco
residency after a five year break. The

111
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.920
Chronicle spoke to him. He says, it's been hombling because it doesn't come

112
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.680
back right away meeting the comedy.
It's twenty twenty four, and it's the

113
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.399
election. If there's a time for
me specifically to be doing stand up comedy,

114
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.759
it's right now. He spends about
an hour each week cycling through fresh

115
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.560
strokes, riffing on everything from the
Fulsome Street Fair to emoji's and the upcoming

116
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.879
election. He marks his notes scribbled
on a stack of loose papers that he

117
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.759
props up on a music stand next
to him. Tick Totoro's making the rounds

118
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.519
she's got a special coming out,
and as she starts to do press again,

119
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.079
I'm reminded the last time she did
a press tour for a special she

120
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:39.439
didn't come across pretty well. Was
it with Conan? Somebody mispronounced her last

121
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.040
name and she was kinda like,
I don't know, there was a better

122
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.519
way to handle it. Really turned
me off to her, to be honest.

123
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.879
Anyway, she was on with Kelly
and Mark Consuelos. Investigative reporter Kelly

124
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.160
Rippo said, so you're a mom
to seven year old twin boys. Tig

125
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.319
said, I thought you were going
to say seven children, but yeah,

126
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.040
they'll be eight in June. Ripper
said, oh wow. I always think

127
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.160
that having kids' horme. Having two
at the same time seems to be like

128
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.199
baffling to me. Do your kids
know you? Do they know what you

129
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.879
do for a living? Tick said, yeah, they know me. They

130
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.839
don't think I'm funny. I'm that
person that's like a hack in the house,

131
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.399
but they know I do stand up
and when they see me or anything

132
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.319
I'm in on TV or streaming services, they refer to me as Tignazaro,

133
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.480
So they'll see me and say,
oh, there's tig Nazaro. There's sting

134
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.160
Nazaro. Did you scroll right past? TJ Miller spoke to w RK or

135
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.639
DJ has partnered with two family businesses
for his lines of peanut butter and hot

136
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.840
sauce. Did not see that coming. His new comedy album is titled Smooth

137
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.440
Peanut Butter. Miller said he loves
peanut butter so much and he wanted to

138
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.759
make his own, but he needed
to find the right partner. Back in

139
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.759
twenty nineteen, he tweeted about the
company be Happy Peanut Butter, saying it

140
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.200
was the best he's ever had.
They saw it and flaunted their newfound fan.

141
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.000
Within two years, the small,
family owned Indiana Peanut Butter Company partnered

142
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.279
with TJ. Miller to produce his
own line of custom peanut butters. But

143
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.720
wait, there's more. Years earlier, he had made his own line of

144
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.480
hot sauces with the Skull Brothers,
also a family owned company in Indiana.

145
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.919
He said, I had some other
stuff. I liked it, and he

146
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.440
asked me one time if I'd ever
be interested in partnering with them, and

147
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.919
I was like, Hell, yes, let's do it. They had three

148
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:16.000
different sauces. TJ said his favorite
was the TJ's Choice Chipotle Hot Sauce.

149
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.840
You can find all his other sauces, including the one that the article says

150
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.039
we cannot say. Oh, I'm
going to look on his personal website.

151
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.399
TJ said, I'm glad I got
to work with these families for these products.

152
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.720
All right, let's go to TJ
Miller. Okay, I typed in

153
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.960
Tjmiller dot com and I don't see
anything. But there's a website called Tjmiller

154
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.919
does not have a website dot com. There's a storefront. Here's some hot

155
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.960
sauces. All right, we're getting
closer. Here we have TJ's Choice Chipotle

156
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:48.080
Hot Sauce twenty bucks, Extreme Gangster
Heat Hot Sauce twenty bucks, TJ's Diet

157
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:54.000
Hot Sauce twenty bucks, and autographed
hot sauce is coming soon. Those will

158
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.600
cost you thirty dollars if you want
autographed hot sauce. And the one that

159
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:03.159
we can't say is called f Intense
Ghost pepper type stuff. Meanwhile, the

160
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:09.279
peanut butter Toffee Crispy twenty dollars,
Chocolate cherry twenty dollars, Chocolate Coconut almond,

161
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.320
and all three peanut butters. Come
with an autograph for just thirty dollars.

162
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.080
I don't know if this is an
official site or not, because it's

163
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.080
called the TJ. Miller does not
have a website dot com and the Google

164
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.919
slug is welcome to not TJ.
Miller's website, so who knows. People

165
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.919
also ask did TJ Miller have brain
surgery? What? Wait? What?

166
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.000
I clicked on it? TJ stated
he became more philosophical and narrated his behaviors

167
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.320
and was unable to sleep while filming
Yogi Bear in New Zealand in twenty ten.

168
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.200
His brain surgery was successful. Wait
what did I just stumble into?

169
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.639
And why don't I edit this so
I don't sound like an idiot Wikipedia.

170
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:52.159
Miller described learning about an undiagnosed cerebral
orteria venus malformation on his right frontal lobe

171
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.159
on the Peede Holmes podcast You Made
It Weird back in twenty eleven. He's,

172
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.960
Wow, that's awkward, especially because
that's the end of the podcast.

173
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.519
I guess we're ending very awkward today. See you tomorrow
