1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny mag and it's halftime in my world

2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.519
of Eagles Bucks and there seems to
be enough Emmy's News that I can now

3
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.600
hit record. If somebody gets up
later tonight and slap someone, I'll do

4
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.239
a bonus episode. But pretty quiet
from the host chair. Anthony Anderson seems

5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.559
to be doing a good job.
People seem to really dislike the bit where

6
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.399
if you go too long, Anthony
Anderson's mom chases you off. That'll come

7
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.240
into play in a second. Congratulations
to John Oliver. Some background. Both

8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.439
Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight
with John Oliver came into the Emmy Awards

9
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:46.840
on a winning streak. Oliver's show
switched categories this year and knocked off SNL,

10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.439
which had been on a six year
streak. This is a new category

11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.600
Scripted Variety Series. The category was
created last year. There was a rule

12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.520
change that group last Week Tonight with
shows like SNL and A Black Lady's Sketch

13
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.719
Show. The change move last Week
Tonight out of the talk show category it

14
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.959
had dominated. And then I'll also
come to play in a second anyway,

15
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.599
So John Oliver won, And I
told you about the bit with Anthony Anderson's

16
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.560
mom, and I'll let John Oliver
take it from here. I am not

17
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.159
leaving without getting played off by Anthony
Anderson's mom. So I'm gonna start reading

18
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.719
off the names of the Liverpool football
team in goal Alison Becker. Then you

19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.400
got Trent Alexander Arnold's. Then you
got Virgil Van Dyk obviously, oh she's

20
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.159
not here. I can get through
the whole team then, baby, I'd

21
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.840
like to thank Jesus and my family
thing. Okay, the category switch opened

22
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.519
the door for the Daily Show with
Trevor Noah. I mentioned yesterday I was

23
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.879
rooting for Trevor to win because he
hasn't been in the chair in thirteen months.

24
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.840
Good for you, Trevor. And
I really like Trevor. I'll play

25
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.760
a lot of his speech here.
He's just so charismatic, good jokes at

26
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.840
the beginning and the end. He
gets a little serious in the middle.

27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.799
I told you we would beat John
Olive it if he wasn't in our category.

28
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.959
We did it. We got rid
of John Oliver. Yo really quick.

29
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.360
I'm so glad everybody's coming up here. Can I just say this story

30
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.280
has been so long, It's been
so crazy it's been so wonderful. I

31
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.120
stopped by thanking the crazy Africans who
followed me to this country. David Kibuka,

32
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.159
Joseph Opiel, thank you so much, David Meyer, my partner crime,

33
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.960
and then the writers and the team, Roywood Junior from the very beginning,

34
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.639
Jordan Kleppo, who's flight got canceled, the showrunner of Jen Flans,

35
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.840
this woman rode with me through the
trenches. Thank you so much to the

36
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.319
team, to everyone who gave us
an opportunity, and honestly the person I

37
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.120
always think because he's just a crazy
genius for think of it. Hey,

38
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.520
John Stewart, where where are you
are? My friend? Thank you for

39
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.680
calling me up, thank you for
asking me to come and join you on

40
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.599
this crazy journey. And thank you
to everybody else in this category. Thank

41
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.000
you to these people. We did
it, baby, we did it.

42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.439
It was really good to see Roy
Wood Junior on stage behind him. The

43
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.719
award was presented by the crew from
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Rob mclaney

44
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.319
had cracked me up. Around eight
oh five or so, he tweeted a

45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.840
picture where you saw Rob at the
Emmys holding a phone watching the Eagles game.

46
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.520
And the caption was something along the
lines of who scheduled the Emmys up

47
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.879
against an Eagles playoff game. Winner
of Best Comedy Series, Abbot Elementary Quinton

48
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:20.680

Comedy Series. Jeremy Allen White Outstanding Lead

00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.159

of Cheers reunited, Ted danceen Ria
Perlman, Kelsey Grammer, John Ratzenberger,

51
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.479
and George went on a cheers ish
stage. Some wondered why Shelley Long wasn't

52
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.080
there. I don't know. Meanwhile, over the weekend, the Critics Choice

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.439
Early is now more than ever.
Trevor Noah, Where was I Wanda Sykes,

69
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.439
I'm an entertainer. Trevor should have
won, but the winner was John

70
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.079
Mulini's Baby Jay. The host of
the Critics' Choice Awards was Chelsea Handler,

71
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.639
the ex girlfriend of Joe Coy.
She told a joke that got some laughs

72
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.120
and said thank you for laughing at
that. My writers wrote it. Chelsea

73
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.720
and Joe dated for one year between
September twenty one and June of twenty two.

74
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.240
Meanwhile, Joe Coy himself was back
on stage in Saint Louis. He

75
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.639
was greeted with a lot of applause, and he went, holyes right,

76
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.040
this big hug that he gave me
is all I need, swear to God

77
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.920
effing whirlwind. Prior to his arrival
on stage, the report says, the

78
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.120
crowd had been warned, no heckling, you were interrupting the show for everyone.

79
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.000
Just don't do it. Heckler's will
be removed from the venue. Coy

80
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.639
addressed the Golden globes and said,
lots of marshmallows. Man, They're delicious,

81
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.720
but they're soft. I just came
from a different time. I see

82
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.360
the changes that are happening. I
get it, But can we effing laugh

83
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.959
at ourselves. One spectator, who
apparently didn't need the warning, yelled out

84
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:46.040
fham on Netflix today Dusty Slay's new
special working Man. I think Dusty is

85
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.800
fantastic. I hope the special is
as good as I hope, and I

86
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.480
hope you check it out and enjoy
it as well, Taylor Tominson's and it's

87
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.639
not at Midnight After Midnight. The
new title of that show After Midnight debuts

88
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.879
tonight. Jason Zinneman, who writes
for The New York Times, apparently followed

89
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.639
her for ten months. He spoke
to Dustin Nickerson, a friend of Taylor

90
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.120
Tomlinson, and said, if you
want to make yourself feel sad, compare

91
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.040
your career to Taylor's. Watching her
this past year has been watching someone become

92
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.519
a celebrity. Hannah Einbender described Taylor
as the voice of our generation and then

93
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.079
and this is going to keep happening
because of the first name and their relative

94
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:26.000
ages, before calling her the Taylor
Swift of comedy. It's such a lazy

95
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.439
thing to do. I get it, her name's Taylor, but like really,

96
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.600
she talks about universal experiences, relationships, love, but in a new

97
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.279
way. She's the most of off
comic out there. She's for everyone.

98
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.480
Mind Bender pause and said it's hard
to be for everyone. Nickerson said that

99
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.439
Taylor's the kind of person who wants
to get invited to the party but won't

100
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.399
attend. When asked when she's happiness, he molded over and said, when

101
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.839
she's making a connection with one person. I did watch Kevin Hart's Lift.

102
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.759
I think the reviews were unfair about
it not being funny. It's not trying

103
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.000
to be funny. It's Kevin Hart
basically saying I want to be Vin Diesel

104
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.319
and make a fast movie. It's
a heist. There are definitely some aspects

105
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.519
that seem a little convenient and unrealistic. I mean, he's got this super

106
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.839
team that can I don't want to
spoil it, but they've got some magic

107
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.600
gadgets that are just so impressive.
But it was watchable. I told a

108
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.639
couple of people to watch it.
Not amazing, it's fine. If they

109
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.279
make heist too, I'll watch it. It's you know. In Netflix movie

110
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.399
Honeymooner's actor Joyce Randolph, who played
Tricksy, passed away over the weekend.

111
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.240
Age ninety nine Natural Causes. Jeff
Dunham has announced his eleventh special, this

112
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:33.879
one called I'm With Cupid. It'll
be OUs February third, John, What

113
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.480
do you think of the title?
It will be February, John, Really,

114
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.439
what did you think of the title? Bushwhacking their way through the topics

115
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.439
of love, relationships and all things
Valentine's in the special are Jeff Dunham and

116
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.439
his beloved dummy Corportz, Walter Bubba, j Panuts, Jose Halipano and he

117
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:58.639
suspiciously familiar new guy Achmedes, Greek
god of keeler love. Here's a clip

118
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.720
you I'm Walter, damn it.
How's your first dake? Go clean?

119
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.920
Dues in the lac seat of the
car, your car on the squad car.

120
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.800
Jeffs Donham said, if you hate
Valentine's Day, you're really going to

121
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.759
hate this special. Watch it with
someone you love or alone with someone you

122
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.680
hate with a beer. This was
filmed in Tampa. It is the third

123
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.000
and a three special deal with Comedy
Central. I wonder if Comedy Central will

124
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.680
keep pumping out specials or if this
is just a relic from a previous regime.

125
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.519
If you're in a Jeff Done A
mood, they'll show all over the

126
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.159
map at eleven o'clock on the nineteenth, then Unhinged in Hollywood on the twenty

127
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.879
sixth at eleven, and Jeff Done
on Me the People on February second at

128
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.559
eleven. Not sure how comedy this
is, but it's amusing. There was

129
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.639
an auction for the props from Succession. You may recall, there's an episode

130
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.440
where cousin Greg brings his girlfriend Bridget
to a party. She's not really accepted.

131
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.600
Tom says it's because she brought a
ludicrously capacious bag. Greg. It's

132
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.960
mantros, it's gargantua, and you
could take it camping. The bag inspired

133
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.440
an Internet meme and now was auction
off for eighteen thousand, seven hundred and

134
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.559
fifty dollars. A costume warned by
cousin Greg in the first season that of

135
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.639
a goofy knockoff mascot for the Roy's
family theme parks went for seven eight hundred

136
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.399
change. You could have also been
on the dead Scorpion paperweight, fake Forbes

137
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.879
and New York Magazine covers with Roy
family members, and a framed ATN News

138
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.519
poster. The most expensive item the
pink index cards from Roman Roy's eulogy of

139
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.120
his father. Those won for twenty
five thousand dollars. Really, Twitter is

140
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.440
having some fun with Kat Williams.
One person wrote, Shannon Sharp and Ocho

141
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.039
talking Cat Williams claim that he can
run a sub four five forty sprint is

142
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.840
the comedy sketch of the year.
The length of a basketball court is less

143
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.879
than thirty two yards. To prove
Kat's claim, R and B icon Lil

144
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.120
Moe posted a video on her Instagram
page showing Cat Williams run from one side

145
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.080
of a basketball court to another at
two am. One person wrote, while

146
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.159
a basketball court is actually only thirty
yards, he runs way faster than I

147
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.120
thought. Evan Hart made a related
comment, not about that video, but

148
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.120
this is about Cat Williams. He
said, you don't entertain the circus.

149
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.879
You watch it when a lion comes
out and rides the bike. You don't

150
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.559
think about it too hard. You
just go, Okay, that's crazy,

151
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.919
the lion's riding a bike, and
then you go home and enjoy the rest

152
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.840
of your day. Just for laughs. And CBC have Russell Peters Irresponsible Ensemble,

153
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.759
an eight episodes stand up series featuring
Russell Peters alongside a fresh lineup of

154
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.919
comics. Each week. You'll find
that on the CBC Tuesdays at ten thirty

155
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.919
pm. In the UK, Radio
four announced a bunch of new comedy shows,

156
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.480
among them one of my favorites,
Phil Wang. Phil and Susie Dent

157
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:39.279
will challenge guests to help create the
new Ultimate Dictionary on Unspeakable that'll layer on

158
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.840
February eighteenth, and Randy Feldface,
who's a puppet, has a new series

159
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.200
about what we can do to speed
up climate change and bring a sweet end

160
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.240
to life on Earth as we know
it. That is funny. You can

161
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.480
find Randy videos on YouTube if you
hunt around. I say it like it's

162
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.399
hidden. Go to YouTube and type
in Randy Fildface. It's not like you

163
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.360
have to go be Indiana Jones to
find this thing. It's not hidden,

164
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.279
but there's a bunch of the videos
up there. They are fun. And

165
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.279
that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the show, buy

166
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.879
me Coffee dot com slash daily comedy
News. I'm gonna go to the smooth

167
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.440
Place. We're still looking for a
nickname for the Smoothie Place, or is

168
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.000
it just going to be the Smoothie
Place at this point? Or if you're

169
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.559
hip to podcasting two point zero use
the Fountain app. There are some SATs

170
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.480
my way, and I'll figure out
what to do with cyber money. Actually,

171
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.039
what I will do is I'll support
fellow creators with it. I'll just

172
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.159
take your SATs and I'll share them
with other shows. If you have no

173
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.600
idea what I'm talking about, it's
in the show notes. Anyway, See

174
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:26.960
you tomorrow.
