1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.560
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny mag with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.599
The Richard Simmons family would like Pauli Shore to just

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.079
cut it out. In case you're not familiar with the story,

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.719
Pauli Shuore has expressed a desire to play Richard Simmons

5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.320
in a bio pick. He's been talking about it for

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.800
quite a while now. He'll offer updates in his social media.

7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.559
Usually the updates have Richard Simmons asking Pauli Shore to stop.

8
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.359
Richard has now passed away entertainment. Tonight, asked Pauli Shore,

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.679
you know all right, what's happening now? Pauli said, I

10
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.679
know he wanted me to do it. I don't even

11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.920
know if it was him tweeting disapproval the whole time,

12
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.799
And be quite honest, I don't know who that was.

13
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.479
Well from beyond the grave, Richard Simmons social media is

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.399
now posting. Dicky absolutely wrote his own posts. He worked

15
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:54.640
on them a week in advance, going over and over

16
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.759
them to get the right message. He would often read

17
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.399
them to Kathy and I beforehand. This is believed to

18
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.039
be attributed to his brother Lenny. What he has not

19
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.640
done was to text email or call Paulie Shore with anything,

20
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.040
not even to wish him good luck. As Paulie has

21
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.760
said many times, we'll see if this movie ever happens.

22
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.079
THEO Vaughn excited for the NFL season, he posted on

23
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.560
his socials AFC North is going to be Banana's this

24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.719
year best division. Joe Rogan talked about booking the podcast

25
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.159
and said, I don't look at the numbers. I don't

26
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.719
pay attention to how many downloads. It's not like feversly

27
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.120
checking what's good and what's bad. I don't look at

28
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.400
like what the retention is or when people drop out.

29
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.239
I know that's up to them. My job is just

30
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.480
to have an interesting conversation with people that I'm actually

31
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.040
excited about talking to. That's my only job. So the

32
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.920
way I book it, I completely book it based on

33
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.879
my interests. I don't have a publicist that's like examining

34
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.359
trends in this person's popularity. I don't do any of that.

35
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.560
Rogan's special not getting good reviews. I haven't seen a

36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.560
good review of it yet. I think everyone kind of

37
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.920
came in where I did, which was it was all right.

38
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.760
I mean, there was Joe Rogan doing Joe Rogan's stuff

39
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.799
nothing special. When did Joe know that the podcast had made?

40
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:01.359
It said, I'll tell you when I realized it. It

41
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.120
was like twenty eleven or twenty twelve. I was on

42
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.719
stage at the Chicago Theater and I was doing comedy

43
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.159
and I asked the audience I was gonna tell a

44
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.599
story from the podcast, and I said, how many of

45
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.280
you guys listen to the podcast? And it was just

46
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.360
like yay, thirty seven hundred people cheering, and I was like, whoa.

47
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.400
I'll never forget that moment. Nicole Bayer was on Jesse

48
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.840
Tyler Ferguson's podcast told an icky story. She said, I

49
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.039
did shows in Appleton, Wisconsin, which to talk about in

50
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.240
my special, and I really hated it there. The vibes

51
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.319
effing sucked during my show. I had a white host,

52
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.960
a black featurer and the crowds were so unruly. At

53
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.240
one point, my black feature was on stage and a

54
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.840
guy in the crowd was like, this is terrible smile.

55
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.039
We can't see you. I was like, what the f

56
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.240
After the audience member made the remark, Bayer walked down

57
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.080
on the floor and looked at a server. I was like,

58
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.159
you're not going to say anything, and the server was

59
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.919
like what Bayer said. I refused to do the meet

60
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.719
and greets, even though it was sold with the tickets.

61
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.000
I told my agent, I'm just not meeting with these people.

62
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.560
I'm sure there's nice people in this crowd, but overall garbage,

63
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.840
bad people, bad vibes. I couldn't believe that man said that.

64
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.319
Sheng Wang said when he first stand up in college,

65
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.560
he was basically doing an impersonation of Chris Rock because

66
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.199
that was one of the only comedians he'd ever seen

67
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.599
on TV. Everything changed when he saw Mitch Hedburg for

68
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.520
the first time. Are we having the Hebburg guess sense?

69
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.599
I hope so. I'm a big Mitch fan. I was

70
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.919
thinking after I recorded yesterday's show, of all my various

71
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.560
half ass impressions, the first one that I started doing

72
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.479
on the podcast was half ass Mitch Hedburg. I'm not

73
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.039
gonna do it for you today, but that one will

74
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.199
be coming back. Sheng Wang said. It changed my whole

75
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.360
idea of what stand up could be because it suddenly

76
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.199
felt like I could maybe do that. I could maybe

77
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.479
just share those thoughts I have. I'm just a pretty

78
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.560
low key person, so that's how it always was from

79
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.400
the beginning. I'm not a fast talker. I was not

80
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.199
quick with comebacks or anything like that. As for Shang

81
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.439
Wang's now familiar look of long hair, he says, that

82
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.719
is totally a pandemic accident. I wasn't playing on keeping it.

83
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.360
I just wanted to see how it would look when

84
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.599
people kept saying nice things, and slowly it just felt

85
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.879
like it did look like me now. He thought about

86
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.319
cutting it before taping his special Ali Wang convinced him

87
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.759
to keep it. Shang says, my whole career before this,

88
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.719
I was trying to be as mundane and boring, as

89
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.439
far from my physical appearance, to be as bland as possible.

90
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.159
The idea was not to be distracting. That's the mindset

91
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.479
I had, was to go on stage and let the

92
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.479
joke speak for themselves and not have things that people

93
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.319
can think about or judge me. On Vulture checked out

94
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.160
that comics for Kamala the other night. Apparently Matt Friend

95
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.959
was doing Howard Stern. He does a good Howard Stern,

96
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.199
but it you know, it's a weird move. I grew

97
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.759
up listening to Howard Stern. Howard went to series in

98
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.079
two thousand and six. So he's been candidly out of

99
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.480
the spotlight. I mean, the media will write about him,

100
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.600
but like no one under forty cares about Howard Stern

101
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.839
at this point. You know. So it's a good impression

102
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.600
by Matt, but like, who you going after Matt? Well,

103
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.399
you might as well do John Wayne anyway. On comics

104
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.600
for Kamala, Cecily Strong joked jd Vance is confusing because

105
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.199
his rhetoric wants us to panic about immigrants, but his

106
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.040
eyeliner wants us to panic at the disco. She then

107
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.759
joked their speculation that Trump is unhappy with jd Vance

108
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.439
at his thinking about getting rid of him, but he'd

109
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.160
better hurry because it's been six weeks. I did go

110
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.680
looking for Kamala Harris jokes to keep this fair, didn't

111
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.839
find any. Send them my way, happy to do him.

112
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.319
Colin Jost will be the new headliner at the Fringe, No,

113
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.920
not that one, the Rochester Fringe Festival. He will replace

114
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.680
Pete Davidson, who canceled his show. All tickets previously bought

115
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.399
for Pete Davidson will automatically be honored for the Colin

116
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.279
Joe show. Anyone who doesn't want to see Colin Jos

117
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.360
can return them for a full refund. Colin Jost now

118
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.160
playing the Kodak Hall at the Eastman Theater on Friday,

119
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.199
September thirteenth. If you enjoy what I do here, one

120
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.600
way to support the show is going to buy me

121
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.000
a coffee. Dot com a slash daily comedy news. There's

122
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.360
some money in the tip jar. I will go to

123
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.680
the National Donus chain and enjoy a large iced coffee

124
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.240
with caramel and milk on you. I've been good. I

125
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.399
haven't been buying anything other than coffee, just trying to

126
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.480
get all that processed sugar out of my system. I'm

127
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.319
trying to stay this fat. It's hard enough staying this fat,

128
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.879
so I'm laying off be good. I'm having my breakfast shakes.

129
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.160
I'm trying. And Cohen announced to her new special it's

130
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.839
called Come for Me. I guess I could have put

131
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.040
a different verbal spin on that. I'm not sure how

132
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.399
she intends it. I'm gonna take it that she wants

133
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.399
us to go see her. You can interpret it however

134
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.120
you want. Come for Me will be on beeps at

135
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.000
approximately five pm Pacific on Thursday, Act over seventeenth. I

136
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.839
guess the lawyers got involved and said, hey, you know

137
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.959
you can't promise exactly five pm Pacific. You never know

138
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.480
what happens with streaming and delays and internet. You know,

139
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.959
we gotta be careful here. Part's stand up comedy port

140
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.879
cabaret Come for Me is built as an openly glamorous,

141
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.199
decidedly horny exploration of what it means to be a

142
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.839
woman entering her thirties. So perhaps my verbal spin on

143
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.000
the title is incorrect, but we all have the giggles.

144
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.800
Nail Hannah Gatsby talk to the Guardian about the Edinburgh

145
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.079
Fringe Festival, where Colin jos is not expected to perform.

146
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.199
Anna said, in two thousand and six, I slept in

147
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.839
a closet, performed a fewer than one hundred people across

148
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.199
my whole time there, and got hit by a golf ball. Well,

149
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.680
I also lost an obscene amount of money and cried

150
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.399
three times in public. Then I came runner up in

151
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.319
the Fringes. So you think you're funny competition, but it

152
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.639
doesn't really factor in my memory list that year because

153
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.040
success is not what defines the fringe experience. A failure does.

154
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.040
The fringe might promise to make your showbiz dreams come true,

155
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.279
but in reality it's more likely to give you scurvy.

156
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.199
I returned to the Fringe with eight shows over the

157
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.040
next decade. I wouldn't say experienced much of the way

158
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.480
of success in the time, but my failure rate remained

159
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.920
consistently high. In twenty eleven, I came off my bike

160
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.639
and cracked my head open on some cobblestones. Another year,

161
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.240
I committed to having a healthy fringe and swore off alcohol.

162
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.000
I opted instead of propped myself up with an artificially

163
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.560
sweetened caffeine product, and as a result, I enjoyed a

164
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.240
month long jittering that looked very much like what those

165
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.319
in ye old times would have described as a nervous breakdown.

166
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.800
Then there was the year my pockets were literally too

167
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.160
shallow and I lost my wallet, my replacement wallet, and

168
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.680
the envelope I used to replace that. When I returned

169
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.199
in twenty seventeen with Nanette, I was not gambling. I

170
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.040
knew I had a show that could not be ignored,

171
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.160
and I was right. I don't think it's impervot lea

172
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.879
to say that Nnette is one of the most successful

173
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.040
stand up shows who ever go at the Fringe. I

174
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.720
didn't even lose that much money. And that is your

175
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.959
comedy news for today. If you join the program, tell

176
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.399
a friend about it. They might like it too. Share

177
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.240
an episode with them. You know what I'm saying. Nudge, nudge,

178
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.480
know what I mean. See tomorrow.
