00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.119
a week and you can't hear yourself, the answer might

Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Hassan Minhaj's bubblicist.

5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.160
You get a raise for the wax job a new

6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.120
cover story in Esquire magazine. Minaj confirmed to Esquire that, yep,

7
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.719
the daily show job was his. Hassan says, we were

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.240
in talks and I had the gig, and we were

9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.039
pretty much good to go. Then there was that infamous

10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.840
profile of Hassan and The New Yorker that fact checked

11
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.799
some of his jokes. It was revealed that Hassan Minhaj

12
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.799
had embellished several stories for stand up as and because

13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.280
of that, no daily show for you, he said, that's

14
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.039
part of show biz. Esquire says. In the aftermath of

15
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.719
the story, Hassan minhajh spoke with other comedians were friends

16
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.119
and mentors. Mike bur Bigley and Rama Yusef reached out,

17
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.520
so did John mulaney and John Stewart. He spent hours

18
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.719
on the phone with them. Hassan says, I remember John

19
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.719
Stewart called and he said, why the f are they

20
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.840
doing this and who does this benefit? Well benefits John Stewart,

21
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.200
He's back on Mondays. It was painful, There's no doubt

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.920
about it. It was the first time I saw the speed

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.959
velocity of the Internet and how quickly a story can

24
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.760
take off. That part of it was new to me

25
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.400
and disorienting. The most painful thing is my wife and parents,

26
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.200
to see them hurt, to see them engage with so

27
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.040
I'm reading this on the internet. That's so painful. I'm

28
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.040
the eldest. I feel really, really sad that I let

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.000
my parents down. I'm very lucky they got to see

30
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.920
many beautiful highs of my career. Watching them experience a

31
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.120
painful moment and embarrassing moment in your career, I wish

32
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.040
I didn't put them through that, And that's the tough part.

33
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.079
After the Big kerfluffle, Hassan told Variety, all my stand

34
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:40.959
up stories are based on events that happened to me.

35
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.200
I use the tools of stand up comedy hyperbole, changing

36
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.120
names and locations, and compressing timelines to tell entertaining stories.

37
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.040
That's inherent to the art form. You wouldn't go to

38
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.120
a haunted house and say, why are these people lying

39
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.319
to me? The point is the ride stand up is

40
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.560
the same. You know, all that is really fair. But

41
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.920
I also I'll understand why the Daily Show was like, oh,

42
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.319
we can't do this. At the time Hassan spoke to

43
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.400
Ronnie Chang Ching's reaction, I didn't think it was as

44
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.280
serious as it was, and in some ways I still

45
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.080
don't think it's so serious as it was. The cultural

46
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.560
gatekeepers loved him. I found it surprising that the cultural

47
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.800
gatekeepers would turn on him so quickly and not give

48
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.599
him the benefit of the doubt. Nikki Glazer told Indy

49
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.479
Wire popping down on the couch after that set, the

50
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.919
Brady Roast was maybe the greatest feeling I'll ever have

51
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.000
in my life, the amount of relief of nailing it

52
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.520
when it's live, when you're on your period and you

53
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.560
thought it ended, but it just started again right before

54
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.800
you walked on stage. And there were no tampons in

55
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.560
the key of form, so you had to use a

56
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.719
folded up napkin and make yourself a pad which was

57
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.639
only being hung in plaze by a tiny strip of

58
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.159
spandex on your thong that could fall out at any second.

59
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:41.879
There were so many things that could have gone wrong

60
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.280
on live TV in that moment. I don't know if

61
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.039
I'll ever have a moment in my career like that again.

62
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.360
And I'm totally okay if I don't, because I felt

63
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.159
it once and that was enough. The Daily Mail spoke

64
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.400
to Matt friend. Friend says, while studying at NYU, he

65
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.520
took any chance he could get to immerse himself in

66
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.599
the world of comedy. Matt says, I was very obsessed

67
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.479
and focused. It became my extracurricular activity. I'd go to

68
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.039
class and I I'd go an open mic, and I

69
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:05.759
was getting a name for myself. I was getting paid

70
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.879
spots in the comedy club while I was still in school,

71
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.599
and I was feeling the momentum build. And then the

72
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.960
pandemic hit. I'm sitting in home with my parents and

73
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.159
my sister, and I was like, what do I do?

74
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.840
He created a mini late night talk show he called Quarantine.

75
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.479
He produced more than fifty episodes of the sketch Show.

76
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.479
He wrote a topical monologue and conducted interviews. He did Now,

77
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.639
I don't claim to know everything, Okay, I really don't,

78
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.879
but I've been hosting this particular podcast since twenty nineteen,

79
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.800
pre pandemic. And believe me, during the pandemic, I was

80
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.000
looking for things to talk about. You know, it's not

81
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.759
like everybody was on tour. It's not like any of

82
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.360
us were leaving the house every single day. I minimum

83
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.800
prep will google the word comedy, and I will google

84
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.599
the word comedian. I don't recall ever hearing one thing

85
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.599
until just now about quarantine. Really, this exists. I gotta

86
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.439
google this, Okay, it exists. One video from four years ago,

87
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.840
Quarantine with Matt Friends. He's in two premiere has six

88
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.719
hundred and eighty seven views. That's not a lot anyway.

89
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.280
He produced more than fifty episodes of the Sketch Show.

90
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.080
He wrote a topic called monologue, and conducted interviews. Really,

91
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.360
but it was pivoting the social media that really changes

92
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.839
his life. During the pandemic, Jimmy Kimmel started talking about

93
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.279
Friends Impressions, which triggered a wave of media interest, including

94
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.000
getting a spot on Hoda and Jenna. Matt says they

95
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.399
did a bit with them, and then all these media

96
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.879
appearances started to happen, and my following was starting to build.

97
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480
As for working on the Impressions, he says, it just

98
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.160
kind of happens. I watch a lot of the movies,

99
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.399
I read a lot of the books, I watch a

100
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:35.879
lot of shows. I'm very up to date with what's

101
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.800
happening in pop culture and politics. And as a result

102
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.160
of that, I just kind of hear the voices of

103
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.759
the character and then I start doing it. I couldn't

104
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.839
tell you it's a process. I don't sit down in practice.

105
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.160
It just starts. It just sort of happens. When Howard

106
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.839
Stern got wind of the impression he had friend on

107
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.560
his show, yeah, I mean, I guess my opinion is

108
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.240
coming true here right. Howard is okay? But like Howard

109
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.360
hasn't been relevant in twenty years. Like yeah, and we

110
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.360
all do, Jimmy Stuart, we all do Ronald Reagan. So

111
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.800
let me move on Cracked. Talk to Jay Farrow. He

112
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.439
does some impressions. I personally, you may disagree. I think

113
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.240
Jay Farrow's impressions are way better than mad friends. Jay

114
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.800
Farrow said, I remember the first time I made a

115
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.079
crowd laugh. I was five years old. I pressed through

116
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.720
security to get to my pastor. He had security like

117
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.199
the club. I just pushed. I don't know how I

118
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.759
did it. I know how I was allowed to do it.

119
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.040
I pushed through everybody. They said, excuse me, excuse me.

120
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.480
A little five year old and I'm talking to him

121
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.040
and he asked me, hey, man, can you fight? And

122
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.839
I'm like yeah, I'm like Muhammad Ali, you want to

123
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.480
see and everybody starts laughing. I would always say slick

124
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.639
stuff as a kid. Uncle Patrick he would pay attention.

125
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.199
He was keen to it. I was really shy around

126
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.040
my parents. Everybody else knew, but they didn't because I

127
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.759
was shy around them. My parents are hilarious. They're really funny.

128
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.639
So my measure of comedy will always come from them.

129
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.720
Are they laughing even when they come to a show

130
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.879
or something. I don't give a damn about anybody else

131
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.639
in the room. I'm looking at them. My first impression

132
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
was Gilbert Godfried. There was this thing called the Virginia

133
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.959
Idol Talent Search where I got up at a comedy

134
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.399
club three hundred people. I got fifth place. The only

135
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.519
people in front of me were four singers. I'm good

136
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.160
with that. I'm not going to beat Beyonce. I was

137
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.279
sixteen years old. To be that young and get that

138
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.399
was a boost of confidence. Other impressions, he says, will

139
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.079
Smith was one at first, but then a lot of

140
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.240
mini mes were born. They started doing him. People have

141
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.560
it down like seventy five percent, but they're not one hundred.

142
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.240
Will Smith finally commented on the video I did, and

143
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:19.839
he was like, yeah, next time I got to do

144
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.040
some ADR, I'm definitely calling you Shannon Sharp. He didn't

145
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:24.720
like it at first, then I refine it. Now he

146
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.439
likes it. Looking back at it. It wasn't as good

147
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:27.879
as it is now. When I first did it, it was

148
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.759
like I was mocking him and not really doing the impression.

149
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.800
Once I dialed into it, it became one of the

150
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.720
good ones. And then Kanye, but you know that doesn't

151
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.000
count because he just has a problem with life. And

152
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.920
he talked about Saturday Night Live because I don't know

153
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.639
if you know this, SNL's turning fifty. We were going

154
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.360
to talk about SNL every day for the next nine months.

155
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.240
He said, come on, man, it's SNL. I feel like

156
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.480
I'm getting old, but I feel good to be part

157
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.680
of such a prestige institution. You're not going to get

158
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.800
higher than that. As far as sketch comedy goes, it's

159
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.839
literally the NFL of sketch comedy. I feel good to

160
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.920
be part of that history and actually be invited back

161
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.399
for the fiftieth. You know, everybody I can get the

162
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.360
invite really interesting. I wonder who didn't get the invite,

163
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.959
So the fact that I got sent three of them,

164
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.000
I thought one was spam. Then I'd show up, but

165
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.360
it would just be a check. I won't talk about

166
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.879
the SNL premiere tomorrow. I had to record this one

167
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.240
rather early to accommodate my schedule. Because I recorded a

168
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.319
few episodes early to accommodate for said schedule. I haven't

169
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.360
had a chance to tell you about Ellen DeGeneres a

170
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.959
special which I watched. I like it. I've added it

171
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.160
to my list of things that I will mention at

172
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.600
the end of the year when I do an episode

173
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.519
or two of best specials of the year. It's not

174
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.360
in the top group. My takeaway is twofold. I like

175
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.199
Ellen's stand up comedy. Some of you are going to

176
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.120
throw your phone through the window as I remind you

177
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.000
for the million time that I used to program serious

178
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.240
XM comedy and I currently program the comedy on the

179
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.560
Live one app. By the way, sidebar, I should probably

180
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.839
remember to promote the weekly comedy thing. It is a

181
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.399
weekly show I host on the Live one app, So

182
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.920
it's like this, except I can actually play the bits,

183
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.879
so I talk a lot less. For example, the Jay

184
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.560
Farrell story, I'll tell the fifteen second version of that

185
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.519
and then play Jay Farrow. I'll tell you fifteen seconds

186
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.319
about Ellen and then play Ellen. So it's called the

187
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.879
weekly comedy thing. The app is called Live one. The

188
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.040
app is free, the show is free. You should do it.

189
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.959
Having program comedy for who is it twenty five? You

190
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.519
know it's twenty to twenty something like that twenty something years.

191
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.439
I have always been a fan of Ellen DeGeneres's stand

192
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.480
up work, and in her current special you see bits

193
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.120
and pieces of it. She has a wonderful bit about

194
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.199
a pigeon that I don't want to spoil. What I

195
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.480
didn't like about the special is it's such a victory lap,

196
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.440
like that review I shared with you about the standing Oh,

197
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.720
they weren't kidding. The standing oh goes on and on

198
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.799
and on and on, and there's a couple of points

199
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.080
in the special it's not even clapped. It's just Ellen

200
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:49.120
says a sentence and the audience just claps. It's like

201
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.039
an athlete's final game. I know it's positioned as her

202
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.200
final special. The whole thing is just weird. Somewhere in

203
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.440
there is some really good material, but the pacing is

204
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.879
just off. Not because of Ellen, but because of the crowd.

205
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.600
Though she did stand there for four minutes and soak

206
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.919
in the standing ovation, she could have easily put up

207
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.919
her hand and told the audience to shut the hell

208
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.039
up so I can get back to stand up. She didn't.

209
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.399
In Soviet Union podcast downloads You, Yakhov's Smirn Office launched

210
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.679
his first ever podcast, The Comedy Couch. In the new show,

211
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.559
Yakov combines his comedic genius with his psychology degree to

212
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.440
analyze what makes the world's top comedience tick. That. Isn't

213
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.080
Neil Brennan doing that, isn't Craig ferguson't doing that? Doesn't

214
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.879
Mark Marra do that? Yakoff digs into their past, childhood

215
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.240
and family stories while sharing his own unique journey. Funny, insightful,

216
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.600
and packed with unforgettable moments, this podcast offers a fresh

217
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.320
take on comedy and what's behind the laughter? Sure, I mean,

218
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.399
what's a fresher take on comedy? Then Yakov's off Sean

219
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.879
you're a hater today, am I? I guess? Ben Stiller

220
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.039
is working on a pickleball movie called The Dink. Jake

221
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.000
Johnson will lead. He plays a washed up tennis pro

222
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.279
in order to save a club in crisis. Does the

223
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.960
one thing he swore it never do, play pickleball. Ed

224
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.039
Harris will be in this movie. That's great. How old's ed? Now?

225
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.720
Though Ed's seventy three, all right, I can see him

226
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.799
playing some pickleball. Ben Stiller and former tennis champion Andy

227
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.080
Roddick will have supporting roles. And let me clear this

228
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.120
one out. I've been sitting on this one for a while,

229
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.159
and I think I can get my half assed impression

230
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.080
of work today. Matt Barry spoke to The New York Times.

231
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.399
They were curious, what can we learn from your character Laslow?

232
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.200
Matt Barry said, he attacks and grabs life. I suppose

233
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.639
to letting things happen. He has no interest in technology

234
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.720
or any kind of science. He thinks it's mostly nonsense,

235
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.799
and I quietly envy that. What's the fun of playing Laslow?

236
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.840
Matt Berry said improvising was obviously encouraged and expected. That's

237
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.399
where I'm happiest to sit and trade insults with the

238
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.200
others in character. It's such good fun as ever a

239
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.639
bit of scene so outlantish that you've resisted it. No,

240
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.519
because I'm in favor of things being highly ridiculous and

241
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.320
hopefully memorable, I would encourage it. Are there any vampire

242
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.200
powers that you would enjoy? I don't think so. Other

243
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.679
than advance hearing, there isn't anything that I be interested in.

244
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.200
I mean, I suppose the flying bat thing, but you've

245
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.799
got to turn into a bat. That's your comedy news

246
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.480
for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend

247
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.080
about it too. If you would like this thing without

248
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.080
commercial interruption, there's a link in the show notes tell

249
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.039
you how that thing works. Yep, yep, yep. You could

250
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:14.919
do that. See anymore
