Groups call for Shane Gillis to be canceled again

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga, Shark Media, Jumarrow on
this program, Jason Zinneman from The New

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.480
York Times, and I talk comedy
for an hour. That one is really

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.399
good. Check that out. Sunday, Dad's treating himself to Father's Day.

4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.600
Will take a look at the best
specials of the year so far. Some

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.359
leftover jokes from the week. Seth
Myers really crushed it. He made fun

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.519
of Trump's rally last week, saying
on Sunday, Trump held his first lard's

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.600
rally since his guilty verdict, where
he laid out a detailed policy plan to

8
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.359
tackle the nation's challenges. And I'm
just kidding. He screamed about teleprompters,

9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.000
batteries, and sharks. More from
Seth, former President Trump told the crowd

10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.280
he was sweating like a dog,
and he was immediately shot by Christynam.

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.439
Trump is no longer allowed to associate
with convicted felons, sorry, other convicted

12
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.119
felons, Seth said, you know
who. This is really bad news for

13
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.280
his family. Now he's gonna have
to spend more time with them. Alanie

14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.240
is so worried about this, she's
probably gonna knock over a liquor store.

15
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.159
And broad Daylight just so she can
have a rap sheet. Jimmy Fallon said

16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.200
things got off to a rough start
when Trump offered his parole officer one hundred

17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.159
and thirty thousand dollars. Some Asian
American organizations have asked bud Light Netflix to

18
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.239
drop Shane Gillis as a representative of
their brand because of his insensitivity and hurtful

19
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.799
remarks towards the Asian American community.
The groups include the Chinese American Citizens Alliance

20
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.719
Los Angeles, the Japanese American Citizens
League Greater Los Angeles, the Anti Asian

21
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.400
Hate Coalition of Southern California, and
the Media Action Network for Asian Americans.

22
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.359
The founder of the MANAA says,
we've gotten beaten up long enough. We

23
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.120
got second tire to this. Try
saying the N word and see what happens.

24
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.200
If you comedians think we're being unreasonable, do the substitution test. Substitute

25
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.359
Asian with black or Jewish and see
if you feel comfortable. If you feel

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.760
uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't have done
it against us. He notes, some

27
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079
native born Asian Americans say it's comedy. Just try to laugh it off and

28
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.879
give excuses for it, and they're
giving permission for more of that kind of

29
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.319
treatment. In episode three of Shane
Gillis's Tires, an Asian father and daughter

30
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.640
come in and speak Mandarin Chinese,
and later the owner in tires Will also

31
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.919
speaks passable Mandarin. There are no
attempts to speak pretend Chinese. In the

32
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.520
same episode of Tires, Shane Gillis
imitates Japanese but sounds more like a grunting

33
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.919
Samurai than somebody speaking Japanese. From
Fox News, Bill Burr called out the

34
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.080
hypocrisy of liberals during a show at
u C Berkeley last weekend, reportedly telling

35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.960
the audience that he effing hates them. Oh no. According to Fox,

36
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.639
burd told the audience, I oftn'
hate liberals. It is believed he was

37
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.879
referring specifically to white liberals. He
also had some comments about people who put

38
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.400
Black Lives Matter signs on their windows
without taking any actual actions. Burr apparently

39
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.000
said, it's like, if I
tell you my great grandmother Germany had to

40
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.199
knock it off Nazi sign. If
you run in a white person who says

41
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.199
they're an EmPATH, run the other
way. Burr said, such people like

42
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.280
making other people suffering about themselves.
Keith Robinson's special came out on Netflix on

43
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.520
Tuesday. It's called Different Strokes.
After suffering two strokes, Keith was able

44
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.120
to make it back to the stage. He tells The Philly Tribune, I

45
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.719
wasn't gonna quit doing something I love
so much. I always wanted to be

46
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.280
a comedian, and I intend to
continue just doing that. Born and raised

47
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.719
in Philadelphia, he chimes, don't
forget to say South Philly. I loved

48
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.280
making people laugh and love to watch
all the comics of the day, although

49
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.280
I didn't have to bring that all
together. One day, a friend of

50
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.360
mine gave me a song by a
gospel singer that talked about why we should

51
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.360
stop just dreaming and doing something to
make those dreams come true. While reading

52
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.039
the Want Ads, that's a phrase
I haven't heard in a while. While

53
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.280
reading the Want Ads, I saw
an ad for a gig at a comedy

54
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.120
club and decided to give it a
try. In nineteen ninety three, he

55
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.520
was on Ed McMahon's Star Search.
Remember that, when's the last time you

56
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.280
thought of that. He did not
win, he did make it to the

57
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.120
finals. Keith says that was a
great boost to my ego. It always

58
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.960
wanted to be a comic, and
at that point I felt like I had

59
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.599
made it. I think comedy and
making people laugh is the greatest job in

60
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.800
the world. I have the freedom
to say anything I want to say.

61
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.879
In fact, I could say my
comedy is my drug of choice. Actually

62
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.719
I get high on comedy. Well, Deacon might let me down because I'm

63
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.840
here in the basement and not at
Vatican City with one hundred comedians. Thanks,

64
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.240
you know, it would have been
nice to cover. Could have asked

65
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.039
Jim Gaffigan about his bourbon. I'm
sure he would have loved talking about it.

66
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.639
Anyway, the Pope's hanging out today
with Fallon and Colbert and Conan O'Brien

67
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.879
and Chris Rock and Whoopy Goldberg.
What did I say the other day,

68
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.199
like sixty seven comedians from Italy that
a burgeoning Italian stand up scene that we

69
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.519
don't talk too much about. The
Irish Times wrote about it and they said,

70
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.439
we imagined the crack in the Vatican
green room time out, time outsime

71
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.519
out. If you are not familiar
with the Irish slang crack, neither was

72
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.079
I. In the early nineties,
when I was hanging around with a lot

73
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.480
of people from Ireland, they were
like, hey, you want to go

74
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.399
get some crack, and I'd be
like, no, again, this is

75
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.279
New York City. In like nineteen
ninety three. Crack was crack cocaine to

76
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.360
the Irish, crack cr a I
c is good to fun. So lest

77
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.240
you think the Pope is doing crack
with Stephen Colbert, he is not.

78
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.240
He may be having crack with Conan
O'Brien, or perhaps drinking father Time bourbon

79
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.879
with Jim Gaffigan, and just even
the Pope losing all his coolness. I

80
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.800
digress. The Irish Times wrote about
some of the irishm going, not some

81
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.839
of them, all of them,
three of them. Ardell o'hanlin. You

82
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.000
know him from Father Ted? Have
you ever seen Father Ted? Father Ted

83
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:11.639
is fantastic. Art All fronted a
documentary this year about the crisis in the

84
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.199
priesthood. He said, I have
renounced my God and my religion, yet

85
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.199
I still ask a Catholic priest to
come along and baptize my child. Am

86
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.879
I a hypocrite? In interviews he
said at one point he thought of joining

87
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.199
the priesthood himself, but it was
not a real thing for him. Tommy

88
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.920
Tiernan is open about his faith and
speaks about going to Mass regularly. Deacon

89
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.399
Mike's gonna like today's episode. You
know, Deacon Mike, this episode could

90
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:39.199
have been really about Catholicism if somebody
had hooked something up just saying Tyrnean says,

91
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.000
I'd probably love to go to Mass
every day if I could. Actually,

92
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.199
it's funny where you end up.
I would consider myself pro choice and

93
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.639
Catholic. So that's a constant negotiation
between the independence of your mind, the

94
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.720
realities of your heart, and a
man made organization that is the church.

95
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.519
But the experience of being at Mass, I don't know what it is.

96
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.959
I don't know all the prayers,
but I love it. It's a community

97
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.839
thing. I think. Eric Idol's
got a new one man show called Always

98
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.160
Look on the Bright Side of Life
Live. It starts on the West Coast

99
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.399
this September. Written and performed entirely
by Eric, audiences will be treated to

100
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.920
never before seen sketches, original songs, jokes, and the humorous wisdom that

101
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.240
comes with being a living legend.
Tickets go on sale today ten am local

102
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.240
time, September fourth, Santa Barbara, then San Francisco, Seattle, Portland,

103
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.480
Oregon, Vancouver, Salt Lake at
Denver, Phoenix, Santa Fe La

104
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.639
nine to twenty seven in San Diego. I gotta stop waiting five days to

105
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.480
watch John Oliver so that I know
what's going on. Apparently, Oliver extended

106
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.680
a challenge to a Kingston bakery,
and the bakery responded with a new line

107
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.439
of cakes bearing a photo of John
Oliver's face on edible candy paper. Peter

108
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.480
Dasing is the co owner of Dacing's
Bakery and Restaurant in Kingston, says we're

109
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.959
really speechless here on the June second
episode of Last Week Tonight. All right,

110
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.920
I've had a week and a half
to watch it. I'm behind.

111
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.879
Apparently, in a segment highlighting the
downfall of Red Lobster, John Oliver announced

112
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.000
he had purchased all of the contents
of the Red Lobster chain's Ulster County location

113
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.680
through an online auction and recreated the
Red Lobster in his studio. Soon after

114
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.120
the Red Lobster closed, Eric posted
a note on the front door asking to

115
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.360
buy a flat grill and convection of
an if available, and later learned that

116
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.319
John Oliver had already bought it all. Oliver made the Dazing's an offer.

117
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.839
The good news is we're willing to
buy those items for you on one condition.

118
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.959
All I want return is a baked
good with my face on it on

119
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.279
sale and your bakery specifically a cake
bear with my face on it. I

120
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.600
want to be a cake beer,
Oliver said, I don't like cake bears,

121
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.199
Ifing love cake bears. Dazing's cake
decorator, Jenna Ice is her real

122
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.279
name, Jenna Ice. That's amazing, Jenna Ice says, I can't believe

123
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639
this is real life right now.
I thought it was hilarious. Had me

124
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.240
laughing pretty good. The cakes are
selling for eight dollars. All the proceeds

125
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.519
will go to People's Place food pantry
in Kingston. A representative from last week

126
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.519
Tonight expected the grill to arrive this
week. Gabriel Iglesias back on Gossip Corner

127
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.279
in Santa Antonio, out for food
again, this time at Garcia's Mexican Food.

128
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.720
He apparently hung out with the owners
and had some tacos a lot less

129
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.720
fun. A court in Indonesia has
handed a comedian a seven month prison sentence

130
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.839
for blasphemy. Aulo Rochmann made a
joke about the name Mohammed. The comedian

131
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.079
was imprisoned after being reported under a
blasphemy law that carries a maximum sentence of

132
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.759
five years. The law forbids anyone
from making statements at odds with one of

133
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.279
Indonesia's six official religions, or trying
to prevent someone from adhering to one of

134
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.320
those religions. A spokesperson for the
prosecutor's office said the defendant admitted and regretted

135
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.440
his actions, behave politely at the
trial, and the defendant has never been

136
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.639
convicted. The aggravating factor was the
defendant's actions have disturbed society seven months.

137
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.240
It seems there's a brew haha going
over in the UK at the Latitude Festival.

138
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.200
It is a music festival. Apparently
some comedians performed there as well.

139
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.039
Some celebrities will be there. David
Takovny, Rick Astley, Duran Duran Keen.

140
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.679
On the comedy side, comedians Sophie
Jucker, Grace Campbell and Alexander Hadow

141
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.159
have pulled out of Latitude Festival and
protest over sponsor Barclay's ties to the Israel

142
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.399
Hamas War. Also pulling out Joanne
McNally and Alexander Haddo, both comedians.

143
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.639
McNally sat on social media. I'm
no longer doing Latitude. I was due

144
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.279
to close the comedy tent on the
Sunday night, but I pulled out last

145
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.600
week. I'm on the old artwork, but I haven't been listed on the

146
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.799
site since I pulled out a week
ago. Jason Signs is performing at the

147
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.279
Lyric Hyperion Theater in La. He
tells the story of falling through a skylight

148
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.639
onto a flight of stairs and shares
the realities of being a paraplegic in Hollywood.

149
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.200
His show is called The wheel World. The comedian shares his struggles with

150
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.480
grief, adapting the changes in wheelchair
