1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.880
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny mag with today's

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.839
daily comedy news. What's going on with Kevin Hart? Bloomberg

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.120
reports the days after Thanksgiving, Kevin Hart's production company laid

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.600
off about twenty people. That's about one quarter of its workforce.

5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.199
So eighty people working for Kevin Heart's production company. Not

6
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.320
too shabby, but not too long after. The chief executive officer,

7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.399
the chief financial officer, and the chief content officer of

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.399
Heartbeat all departed. The departures are called amicable, but followed

9
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.520
a disagreement about the direction of the company. I hey, Kevin,

10
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.119
when your top three folks are like, yeah, no, there's

11
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.159
something going wrong here, I think, Bloomberg writes, Kevin had

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.799
ambitions of building something more than a production company. He

13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.320
wasn't content to be a famous multimillionaire. He wanted to

14
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.399
be a billionaire. He formed a separate company, laugh out Loud,

15
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.719
to create comedy videos for the Internet. He built an

16
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.359
advertising business with clients like Lift and Procter and Gamble.

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.759
He produced videos and podcasts for Sirious, and he was

18
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.439
a media entrepreneur before many of his premieres. He formed

19
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.000
Heartbeat in twenty twenty two, merging all his businesses under

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.319
one roof pretty interesting. If he's laying off that many

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.079
people in the top three folks departed, that does not

22
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.400
sound good. New York Theater dot Com reviewed Gary Golman's

23
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.760
new show, Grandiloquent. They give it four stars out of five.

24
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.840
Writing comedian Gary Goleman delivers an uproarious description of his

25
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.200
troubled childhood and this one man's show. It's titled Grand Delinquent,

26
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.640
the definition of which, to the comedian hopefully provides. In

27
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.400
the course of the evening, Gary says the word means

28
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.719
the use of extravagant or flowerly language, especially when intended

29
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.799
to impress. Sporting a prominent goatee that makes him look

30
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.079
like a hip university professor, his delivery of perfectly crafted

31
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.040
one liners is frequently accompanied by sly smiles acknowledging the

32
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.000
resulting laughs. He knows how good he is, but he's

33
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.159
not crass enough to laugh at his own jokes. JTA

34
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.719
dot Org caught up with Gary and said, tell us

35
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.560
about the show, what can we expect? Gary said, Oh, man,

36
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.760
I've been told people have laughed and cried, so they

37
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.040
can expect an emotional I wouldn't call it a roller coaster,

38
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.879
but an emotional flume ride. Maybe I can't call it

39
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.599
tragic comic nor comic tragic, but there are some sad,

40
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.879
sad moments in it, but it's mostly hilarious. That's what

41
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.039
I would say. A stand up back is just how

42
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:13.599
many funny things can I say in an hour and

43
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.280
a half? And then you write a one persons show

44
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.759
and there's a lot of expressing, well, what does this

45
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.919
show want to be? This show? I wanted it to

46
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.919
end with the beginning. I open up talking about the

47
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.680
first book I ever read, and then I close by

48
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.319
talking about that same book. I like that when movies

49
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.360
or books were plays in where they began, and so

50
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.759
that was important to my director and me, And so

51
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.479
it ended up with a punchline that wasn't all that

52
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.919
funny but hopefully will resonate. Not being funny is very

53
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.439
challenging for stand up comedian, and especially one is obsessed

54
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.479
and passionate about finding the funniest things I can say

55
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.000
to the point of it being unhealthy sometimes, so the challenge,

56
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.960
ironically is not to be funny, when usually the challenge

57
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.240
is to make this as funny as possible. Gary talked

58
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.599
about his first open mic experience October eleventh, nineteen ninety three,

59
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.759
so thirty one years ago this past October, and it

60
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.840
went well enough that I was hooked for life. It's like,

61
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.120
I can imagine what would be like to have a

62
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.840
really good drug for the first time. You're like, well,

63
00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.560
I guess I'm on this drug. That's how I felt.

64
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.159
I was hooked. I got an applause break over an

65
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.439
impression I did of Robert de Niro, which is embarrassing

66
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.560
because it's one of the easiest impressions that a lot

67
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.400
of people did back then. But it went well enough.

68
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.400
Jim Jeffries is out touring new material. What can we expect,

69
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.439
he told Inlander. Look with me, it's always going to

70
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.400
be some social issues, some sex jokes, and then some

71
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.719
stuff about my life. You're just following a soap opera

72
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.800
of person, aren't you. When I was younger, you were

73
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.719
watching a guy who was dealing with addiction and having

74
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.520
problems there. Now you're dealing with a guy who's doing

75
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.439
the same as everyone my age, struggling to be an

76
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.120
adult while having to be a parent. You know what,

77
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.360
So there's stuff about married life. There's no more stories

78
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.639
of one night stands or anything like that. Tails of

79
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.639
being an adult, I guess, but it's still just grubby jokes.

80
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.039
I always write the show that I want to watch.

81
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.199
Every comedian who's worth their salt should really think that

82
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.039
they're the best comedian in the world because they're doing

83
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.960
a show that's designed just for them. So I hope

84
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.000
other people relate to it, and I hope other people

85
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.800
can see themselves in me and they take something away

86
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.479
from that. I think my stage persona can come across

87
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:50.800
as a bit of an a hole, but I think

88
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.960
people can relate to that, because aren't we all just

89
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.039
a little bit of an a hole. Bill Berry talked

90
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.400
a Variety about his upcoming special, in which he deals

91
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.680
with depression. Variety said, I feel like you're knowingly playing

92
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.280
with the audience's perception of you. Burst said, I look

93
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:04.840
at it that way. When I started doing the material,

94
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.919
there was this really excited, happy feeling I had that

95
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.479
I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Men

96
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.400
were laughing. It relates to this. I don't feel good

97
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:11.919
right now. I feel sad, and I'm not allowed to

98
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.120
say that's a guy because exceider a weak I always

99
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.840
felt like a freak. I grew up with orange hair.

100
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.240
We moved around a lot when I was a kid.

101
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.040
I didn't feel like I quite fit in until I

102
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.600
was at my second open mic and I was hanging

103
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.399
off comedians with the same kind of weird that I was.

104
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.439
A lot of people died quickly in a short period

105
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.240
of time. People I looked up to, people I became

106
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.079
friends with. One of them was Bob Sagging. To see

107
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.839
that guy taking it didn't make any sense. Spoilers spurd

108
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.519
dives into Israel and Palestine. Variety was curious, do you

109
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.199
have to be more cautious while workshopping material that's political

110
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.079
or tense in nature? Bill said, Nah, you just go

111
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.680
out and do it. And if you listen to that bit,

112
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.360
it's a political I'm just saying we need to come

113
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.199
up with a way to solve our differences without dropping

114
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.079
bombs on children. I don't think anybody have a problem

115
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.279
with that. The great thing about travel, if you travel

116
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.560
with your ears open, is you see way more similarities

117
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.800
than difference. Is everybody kind of wants the same thing.

118
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.040
To chill out with people they love, to have enough money, food, clothing, shelter,

119
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.920
and to be able to exail and not worry about

120
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.240
what's coming around the corner. One of my favorite gigs

121
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.279
last year was an Abu Dhabi. Drugs are illegal there

122
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.040
and I was telling a story about taking mushrooms. The

123
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.800
way they were laughing, I was like, Ah, these people

124
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.759
definitely do drugs, they just don't do them here. They

125
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.759
go abroad to do them. But I was thinking later, well,

126
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.279
wait a minute. I used to listen to Richard Prior

127
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.439
talking about cocaine and freebasing, and I've never done that.

128
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.600
Are they laughing about me taking mushrooms? Like this is

129
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.800
some kind of cheech and shock stuff? I still don't know?

130
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.720
Interesting follow up variety When doing a corporate or international gig,

131
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.040
I've ever been asked to avoid certain topics? A Yeah,

132
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.680
definitely an Abu Dhabi? How does that negotiation work? At

133
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.279
first they get real offensive and I'm set with my

134
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.399
agent going, why half would you book me here? I

135
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.399
agreed to do Abu Dhabi because why wouldn't you want

136
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.439
to go there to see what it was like? And

137
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.480
then classic, ten days before I go out there, they're like,

138
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.680
don't talk about this, don't talk about that. Somebody had

139
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.360
to write me a letter of apology, and I'm sitting there, going,

140
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.199
why the hell would they book me? So now I'm

141
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.839
stressing before I go there, going I've got to get

142
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.360
six months in jail for doing a crap joke. I

143
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.319
have to go to this coffee shop next to synagogue.

144
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.000
This is a rabbi comes down. I got to know

145
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.800
the guy. I'm always busting shops because it's always giving

146
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.439
a life advice. I'm like, dude, do you ever just

147
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.639
say hello? I tease him, and that had been a

148
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.560
relationship for half a year, and then he shut up

149
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.160
one day and he goes, hey, how you doing. I go,

150
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.199
you know what, I'm not doing good? So I told

151
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:05.800
him I got this gig coming up, but I'm stressed.

152
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.160
I don't want to get in trouble or get detained

153
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:08.560
or any of that stuff. I can't talk about this,

154
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.800
I can't talk about that. Blah blah blah. He listened

155
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.439
and shrugged his shoulders and goes, Dan, it's not ready yet.

156
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.160
He just gave me that perspective, and all of a sudden,

157
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.040
I understood what my job was. My job was to

158
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.639
go over there and not be a jerk, and tried

159
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.439
to advance the stand up ball a couple of yards

160
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.199
for the next guy that comes over there and end

161
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.680
up having a great time. Well, kind of materials did

162
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.839
you have to avoid? This is fascinating per se A.

163
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.079
You know, our foreign policy is upset a lot of people.

164
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.120
I'll leave it at that, Listen, I got another gig

165
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.720
over there, so I don't he nah, who gives a hoot.

166
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.319
I wasn't allowed to make fun of the City of

167
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.959
the Royals. It was pretty small, but a lot of

168
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.879
it is what you do as a comedian. Like at Seattle,

169
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.519
I want to get a coffee and I'm the only

170
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.079
person not transitioning. Abu Dhabi didn't want you doing that,

171
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.680
but I could make fun of myself make fun of

172
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.560
other places. And now this sounds ridiculous to us, but

173
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.079
I get it. Abu Dhabi's where stand up wasn't about

174
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.079
nineteen sixty eight, which is kind of cool. Who would

175
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.360
have thought some bald Irish American ginger would vibe with

176
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.120
people in Abu Dhabi. This is a fantastic article. I'll

177
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.560
continue to pick away at it. Comedy Gives Back is

178
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.600
doing a fundraiser for Los Angeles on January thirty first.

179
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.920
The benefit feature Zach Galifanakis, Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Batton Oswald,

180
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.879
Brian Possain, John Ennis, Tom Kenny, Jill Talian Moore. That

181
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.240
is a great lineup those first five Zach, Odenkirk, Cross, Patten,

182
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.399
and Postsaine, Yes Dulse. Sloan has left The Daily Show.

183
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.079
Everyone is saying the parting was amicable. In a statement,

184
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.000
Sloan said, there's work that I've done over the past

185
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.519
seven years with The Daily Show that I could be

186
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.519
prouder of. I collaborated with some incredibly talented people who

187
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.399
look forward to continuing to work with. I know our

188
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.480
past will continue to cross. I'm now free to pursue

189
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.399
my dream job of being a live action cling on

190
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.680
on Star Trek. Daily Show spokesperson said, Dulce Sloan is

191
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.399
an exceptional comedic force, and we're thankful for hilarious seven

192
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.959
year run on The Daily Show. We wish her the

193
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.079
best look forward to watching her next chapter. Sloan had

194
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.560
not been part of the rotation of correspondence slash hosts

195
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.720
last spring. Late Night Or asked her if she would

196
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.199
accept a role as the show's permanent host if offered

197
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.360
to her, and she said I'm just telling you the

198
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.639
reality of situation that's not going to happen. I'm paying

199
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.399
attention and I worked there. It's not about what do

200
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.279
they ask me. It's why they didn't ask Roy would Junior?

201
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.720
Because if they didn't ask Roy as sure as hell

202
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.920
ain't gonna ask me. If they're getting rid of all

203
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.959
the diversity in late night, why would they turn around

204
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.240
and ask me? Hmm, this is random. I discovered that

205
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.480
there's a comedy room at a restaurant near my house. Now.

206
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.800
They've been doing comedy shows there for like a couple

207
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.639
of years, and I haven't really given it much thought.

208
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.439
I actually ate at this restaurant ten days ago with

209
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.439
my daughter, and you know, they don't really promote the room,

210
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.360
and I was just curious what was going on there.

211
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.360
It's called the Comedy Dojo, and I went on the

212
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.840
website and I see this Saturday, Louis c k is

213
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.919
playing that room and working out some material. It's already

214
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.960
sold out. Or I would go, but I might have

215
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.120
to pay attention to this room and start going. They've

216
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.039
got some people you've heard of. Anyway, I'm obsessively hitting

217
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.440
refresh because you know, if I can this place is.

218
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.399
I don't know, six minutes from where I live, so

219
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.360
I could be there in home super quickly, so I'll

220
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.639
have to keep an eye on that one. A cool

221
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.720
account on threads is the SNL network. They broke down

222
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.240
the Chappelle episode. I saw some fun facts there. They said.

223
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.720
The Chappelle episode had the fewest segments for an episode

224
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.240
in SNL history, only ten segments, the monologue, Immigrant Dad,

225
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.039
Talk Show, Fire Evacuation, the Great Sketch, the music segment,

226
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.240
Weekend Update, Police Station Music segment two, Pop the Balloon

227
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.240
or Fine Love, and then the good night segment. Chappelle's

228
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.240
the first SNL host since Flip Wilson in nineteen eighty

229
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.120
three to not appear in any live sketch after Weekend Update,

230
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.000
although that does not include the at home episodes in

231
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.440
season forty five remember COVID, and does not include the

232
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.200
Hulk Hogan Mister t episode in season ten, when there

233
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.720
was no traditional news segment. I gotta find out more

234
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.320
about that. I wonder why there was no news that

235
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.960
week In case you were wondering about Chappelle and Bow

236
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.919
and Yang. In the past, people been like, hey, oh,

237
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.879
come Bow and Yang's not standing near Dave Chappelle during

238
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.799
the goodbyes. This week, Chappelle and Bow and Yang briefly

239
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.480
hugged all right, I was their first interaction on screen

240
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.000
of the night. Yang did not appear any sketches with Chappelle.

241
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.440
Last time Schabelle hosted, people were like, what's up with

242
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.799
Bow and Yang? Yang told Variety, I stand where I

243
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.919
always stand on good nights. It wasn't a physical distance

244
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.360
to anybody who's creating, and I had to do with

245
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.120
so many things that were completely internal. Vanity Fair has

246
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.759
published a big, big article that we're talking about on

247
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.159
the Palace Intrigue podcast. That's the podcast where we talk

248
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.919
about the royal family. Palace Intrigue Wheviget shows. They wrote

249
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.399
a lot about Meghan and Harry, and I'm bringing it

250
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.519
up here because of a weird shot Eliza Slessinger quoting

251
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.519
the Vanity Fair article. They're discussing the guest Meghan had

252
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.240
on her podcast, and they write these archetypes actually stereotypes

253
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.679
included diva parentheses Mariah Carey and bimbo parentheses Paris Hilton

254
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.480
and Eliza Slessinger. Does Eliza Slessinger have a bimbo persona

255
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:51.080
that I just missed. Just seemed kind of weird. Rapper

256
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.399
turn comedian TI. It was on Young Jack's streets morning takeover.

257
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.320
T I told Young Jack why he prefers a comedy

258
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.320
to rap and said, ain't no pay. He points out

259
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.720
the pats of success in comedy's a different journey, one

260
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.519
that doesn't always guarantee the same rewards. It ain't a slope,

261
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.320
it's a dip. I ain't even tripping because it's so

262
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.600
much fun. I enjoy myself. That's the thing. When we

263
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.120
had all the money in the world and the energy

264
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.840
just wasn't right, you know what I'm saying. So now

265
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.200
I just value my peace of mind. The NL Times

266
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.320
is a website that covers news from the Netherlands. In English,

267
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.519
they write comedy club Boom Chicago. That's an Amsterdam club,

268
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.759
I believe, not one in Chicago. Boom Chicago has canceled

269
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.919
two performances by Israeli Jewish comedian Yohi Spondor, citing safety concerns.

270
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:38.960
Following online backlash and threats. Boom Chicago director Andrew Moscoso

271
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.840
wrote an email to Spondors manager. Due to the climate

272
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.080
in Amsterdam, reactions and concerns reportedly expressed by police we

273
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.559
can no longer allow YO high sponders performances. On January

274
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.639
twenty fifth, this really caught my attention per NL Times.

275
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.360
I'll read the sentence verbatim from NL Times. Moscow edited

276
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.840
that the club would assist in finding an alternative venue,

277
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:04.279
potentially a quote Jewish location unquote or another club. I

278
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.120
am not hipped to the Amsterdam comedy scene. I'm not

279
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.240
sure what a Jewish location would mean. Some folks on

280
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.080
social media had labeled Spawner as an ultra Zionist and

281
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.960
criticized his show The Self Loving Jew, alleging it promotes

282
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.679
Israeli propaganda. Moscow's described the situation as complex and said

283
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.600
the decision was made reluctantly. We prefer not to cancel shows,

284
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.679
but given the reaction and threats, we had no other choice.

285
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.120
Boom Chicago stands for freedom of expression, but in the

286
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.279
current situation, we cannot facilitate it. Ticket Holders will receive refunds.

287
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.399
This noll Fielding thing continues to be interesting. I told

288
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.159
you yesterday that Apple had shut down production of The

289
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.480
completely made up Adventures of Dick Turbin. Nol has said

290
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.519
reports that his future on the Great British Bakeoff being

291
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.600
in doubt or an untrue fielding spokesperson till the standard,

292
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.480
There's been absolutely no discussion about Noel stepping down from Bakeoff.

293
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.919
We've been in contact with Channel fourg Love Productions throughout

294
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.639
all the speculations and his stepping down has never been

295
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.360
part of it that dialogue. We can't confirm he'll be

296
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.519
returning to co host the next series of Big Off

297
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.200
and Ted Lasso fans, Nick Muhammed is giving us some

298
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.919
hope here. In a post on Twitter, Mohammed framed his

299
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.080
face with a ring light and announced that some dates

300
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.679
from his upcoming tour would be rescheduled. His explanation, I

301
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.320
know there'd be a lot of speculation as to why

302
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.080
move these dates. What's it for? I'll be honest, it's

303
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.159
for some filming that I haven't been able to shift

304
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.240
for the love of money. I can't say what the

305
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.399
filming is, but it will be announced shortly. He asked

306
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.399
fans not to speculate as to what they think it

307
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.559
might be, but he held up a hand painted Believe

308
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.279
sign which suggests that it's Ted Lasso. But he added,

309
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.759
the last thing I want is for people to Go.

310
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.000
Mad Nett is your comedy news for today. Jody's on

311
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.200
the Facebook group. We had a great discussion over the

312
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.600
weekend about the top comedians of all time. We kicked

313
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.559
the ball around. I don't think we decided anything, but

314
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.440
it was just a fun discussion of how to even

315
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.600
rank anybody in the first place. The genesis of that

316
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.279
conversation was is John Mulaney in the top ten? I

317
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.279
both hold the position of I don't think so, and

318
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.480
also I can't name Ted better yet. So feel encouraged

319
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.840
