00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.000
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Joenni Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.440
Jerry Seinfeld in the news yet again. Howard Stern has accepted Jerry's apology.

3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.280
On his radio show, Howard said
Jerry had said that I'm basically an interviewer

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.600
and that I'm not a comedian.
That now comedians of podcasts and comedians are,

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.120
you know, funnier or something than
me. I read and I went,

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.920
that's weird because Jerry's a personal friend
of ours, especially his wife Jessica

7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.600
is really good friends with Beth Stern. Stern confirmed that Seinfeld called him quote

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.439
immediately to apologize for the comments,
and Stern was happy to forgive his friend.

9
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.119
Or Howard I said, Jerry,
you don't even have to please.

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.000
This is embarrassing. I'm the king
of going on the air and having millions

11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.799
of regrets afterward. Apology accepted,
I don't care, And you know what,

12
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.399
I'm not a comedian. I'm an
interviewer. I don't know what I

13
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.960
am. I've always considered myself a
bit of a comedian. But whatever it

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.640
is, don't worry about it.
Time out. Here's Howard, yet again

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.039
positioning himself as the great interviewer,
third act Howard, revisionist history Howard.

16
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.400
Not the guy that did beastiality dial
date. No, not the guy that

17
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.680
had women come in and ride a
device that I can't even describe if I

18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.000
want to keep my podcast clean.
Not that guy. Not the guy that

19
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.879
did blackface. Not the guy that
was route to Bob Hope when Bob was

20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.040
like ninety five. Not the guy
that had a war with bon Jovi,

21
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.959
Not the guy that had a war
with Sam Kinnison. Not the guy that

22
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.519
didn't book people like Gilbert Gottfried once
this third act thing started, Howard.

23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.879
If he's not a comedian, he's
an interviewer for Howard Stern. I don't

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.200
know what I am. I've always
considered myself a bit of comedian. But

25
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.920
whatever it is, don't worry about
it. Stern explained that Seinfeld apologized for

26
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.719
a really long time, and he
said it came out really wrong. According

27
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.799
to Howard, Jerry asked to come
on the radio show to apologize there,

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.519
but Stern said, not necessarily.
I don't want to get into it.

29
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.280
It's awkward. It's fine. I've
got to call up people and apologize for

30
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.239
stuff I've done on the air.
When I'm a huge fan of these people,

31
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.120
I don't know what gets into me. I f up sometimes, So

32
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.319
it wasn't that big a deal.
I didn't really think much about it.

33
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.519
Now this is me being a sure
II. They go all out radio war

34
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.000
with nineteen eighty five Howard Stern killing
Jerry over this, just for the drama

35
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.400
of it. That's what we loved, Howard taking the high road and going

36
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.919
it's okay. I mean, where's
the fun in that? Hey, Sam

37
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.680
Catison, It's all cool, bon
Chovy, don't worry about it. Where's

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.199
the fun in that? Hey,
zoo keeper peace Bro, where's the fun

39
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.199
in that? Howard? Howard Stern, the Great interviewer? Ignore the part

40
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.360
before twenty fifteen. U. I'm
in a good mood today. I don't

41
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.080
pick the news. I just tell
you what the news is. Andrew Schultz

42
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.120
compared to Kim Kardashian to a robot
with no human aspect. Schultz was on

43
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.439
his own podcast, Flagrant and said
that Kim sat with perfect posture for three

44
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.360
hour street and seemed disassociated during the
roost of Tom Brady, which we're still

45
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.960
talking about ten days later. Schultz
said, even when she was up there,

46
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.159
they were kind of booing her.
It didn't make her smile, didn't

47
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.000
make her set. It was nothing. Kim's up there doing her set,

48
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.280
and this guy in the stands out
of nowhere just goes bitch, just as

49
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.680
if he'd been holding it in for
a whole minute and he just couldn't hold

50
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.039
it in anymore. Just seeing Kim
Kardashian on stage for three minutes was too

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.879
much for him to hold it in. Bert Krasier and Tom Sigora on the

52
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.919
Two Bears podcasts they had Jimmy Carr
on I was trying to go back through

53
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.400
the Facebook group to think, whoever
told me to listen to this? Thank

54
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.360
you? Whoever it was, Dylan
Scott, whoever it was, thank you.

55
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.240
I pulled several clips here. First
up here is Bert and Tom talking

56
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.199
about how they prepped for the roast. Oh, let's talk about our experience

57
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.400
with the roast. They get a
call like a month ago and they say,

58
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.240
hey, we're doing this roast to
Tom Brady, would you be interested

59
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.159
in doing it? And you go
I said yes, we're both in,

60
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.360
and I go no. He said
absolutely, I go no. You were

61
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.560
like, there's nothing we can win
out of this. Like, what are

62
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.800
you talking about, Like, we've
never been on roast, we're not roasters

63
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.360
or anything. But then they said, we're trying something different where we want

64
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.120
you guys to do it together.
And even then I was like, you

65
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.039
mean like just go to the podium
together and rose together. And they were

66
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.520
like, no, we want to
do like we're thinking of, like trying

67
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.479
something that we've never done before.
I think they wanted a sports center thing

68
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.319
first. Yeah. Yeah, And
we were like, nah, I got

69
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.080
to give flowers. I give him
to you last night. I'll give them

70
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.399
to everyone. Yeah. Well you
said no, and you said you called

71
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.680
me and said, we're not saying
yes yet. We're gonna have a meeting

72
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.240
with Netflix. We're gonna talk through
with the writers, yeah, and with

73
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:28.040
the producers. So we got on
a thing and in a thirty minute zoom

74
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.120
call, I spoke zero, which
I think everyone will find shocking. Yeah,

75
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.639
that's true. And you talked the
whole time, and you had a

76
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.800
million questions of things angles, you
liked, angles, you wanted to do,

77
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.279
things you were cool to do.
You liked the multimedia presentation, you

78
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.399
liked it being different than everyone else's. Yeah, because you're like it and

79
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.879
there you can't really draw comparison because
it's apples and oranges. So we can

80
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.800
succeed on our own or fail on
our own. Yeah. And then at

81
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.519
the end you were like, Bird, do you have any do you have

82
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.759
anything to say? And I said, I said yes, Thursday, Yeah,

83
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.879
that's exactly what you said yessday,
I said yes, before we had

84
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.199
any idea what we were doing.
Then Jimmy Carr joined what was interesting to

85
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.399
me about the Jimmy Carr segments?
And I could listen to Jimmy Carr talk

86
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.399
about comedy all day? Apparently because
I did it this morning and I did

87
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.439
it yesterday. This turned into a
conversation between Bert Kreischer and Jimmy Carr.

88
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.600
Sogora kind of disappeared during it.
I don't think there's anything weird going on,

89
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.240
or maybe Bert was just excited.
But you know, I'm listening for

90
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.560
an hour and I'm like, is
sigory even there? I got a text?

91
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.120
Did you hear the text? I'm
gonna get more texts. I'm supposed

92
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.680
to be ordering lunch from Jersey Mikes, so the family is going to be

93
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.480
texting me orders. Why don't you
mute your phone, John, because that's

94
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.439
not fun. That's not how I
like to do this podcast. I like

95
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.160
all the quirkiness. Anyway, Sigora
kind of disappeared in the middle of it.

96
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.319
No harm, no foul, just
noticed it. They started talking about

97
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.720
Tony Hingecliff and echoed what I said
the other day that I think Tony just

98
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.720
took a step up in class,
as they say, and from time to

99
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.199
time you've heard me. Here's another
order? Could you order for Jersey Mikes?

100
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:10.439
I better pause this podcast, be
right back. All right, I've

101
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.439
got the orders here. We've got
a number fourteen, the veggie number seven,

102
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.360
turkey and provolon that's for me,
an original Italian number thirteen, and

103
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.279
a Chipotle cheese steak. No,
we don't want a Chipotle cheese steak.

104
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.439
See it's a good thing I'm doing
this bit. We want a regular cheese

105
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120
steak. All right, that was
close. I'm gonna hit next here,

106
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.360
thirty eight eighty. I'm not telling
you my credit card number. I'm telling

107
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.560
them, but I'm not telling you
done. Where were we? What's gonna

108
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.480
happen now is I'm waiting for my
banker to call me back. And that's

109
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.360
why I had my phone unmuted,
So now that it's muted, I'm gonna

110
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.199
wind up missing his call. Oh
were we let's see. Oh yeah,

111
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.360
I've talked about the past where I
do this Emperor room thing where I don't

112
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.959
really laugh. I analyze comedy,
and comedians do that in the back of

113
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.399
the room. And here's Jimmy Carr
talking about that very thing. I would

114
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.439
say, like I was watching,
it is a bit of you that watches

115
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.160
in, you know from the audience
is a comic going that's good, that's

116
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.439
good, that's great. Line.
Okay, you know, you'll kind of

117
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.480
you're kind of analyzing. I think
I wish it was up back. And

118
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.120
then one more clip the setup here
is Tom and Bert were talking about how

119
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.519
they were impressed that Kim Kardashian stayed
on point even after being booed, and

120
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.920
that led to a discussion of the
importance of staying on script, which I

121
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.199
clearly just violated, or ordering Jersey
mikes in the middle of my podcast.

122
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.160
This was something that I kept noticing
too, because in seeing prompter and watching

123
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.240
all the acts, one of the
things that you pick up on was the

124
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.680
people that didn't do well, and
there were a few that like it was.

125
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.680
I'm saying, like the regular roasting
was was. It wasn't because of

126
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.360
them or the material. It's that
they kept going off script. Yeah,

127
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.079
because we would run with that and
they commit to the bit. They would

128
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.519
read like the top line and you're
like okay, and then and they don't

129
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.680
realize, see, we know how
important economy of words and like the you

130
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.360
gotta say this before this is the
connective tissue to that, and they would

131
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.160
go first line and then I would
watch them like riff on that and then

132
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.759
try to pick up and you're like, yeah, it doesn't work like that.

133
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.959
You have to stick to the whole
thing for the thing at the end

134
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:16.720
to pay off. Yeah. I
thought. I thought Kim cutish she did

135
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.399
a great job. I mean,
the joke is why I wouldn't have told

136
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.199
anyone. The reason the reason I
think she was able to witch because she

137
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.600
ended up getting a big couple of
big pops, is because she stayed in

138
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.840
the pocket to get booed like that
and to just sit with it, yes,

139
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.159
okay, yeah, and then to
do it the confidence yeah yeah,

140
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.759
like to get booed by that many
people, It's like most people would crumble

141
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.320
while we're analyzing comedy The eight hundred
Pound Gorilla tells us Mark Norman's got a

142
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.840
new documentary called Page to Stage.
Mark is ready to pull back the curtain

143
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.240
on how he writes his signature jokes
and open up on his creative process.

144
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.200
Page to Stage is available on punch
Up Dot Live. The doc follows Mark

145
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.720
Norman as he takes an inkling of
a premise that came to him in the

146
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.440
bathroom of a fast food chain to
five different stages in New York City that

147
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.559
very night. Over the course of
six months, Mark sculpts his joke failure

148
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.919
after failure throughout Europe in the Midwest, until it's finally ready for a sold

149
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.200
out show at Carnegie Hall. That's
fun, Norman says, these jokes don't

150
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.840
write themselves. Rolling Stone caught one
of Ali Wong's shows last week during the

151
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.799
festival. She told the audience,
I didn't expect the news of my divorce

152
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.360
to be so widespread in public.
I felt embarrassed and ashamed, but I

153
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.399
didn't realize that all these media outlets
were acting like a bat signal, letting

154
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.039
all potentially interested men know. I've
never been pursued this much of my life.

155
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.480
I get a phone call from this
guy who I met a dinner party

156
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.639
in the past and he got my
number from a mutual friend. He was

157
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.159
like, Hey, it just hopped
near the news about your divorce and I've

158
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.840
had a crush on you forever.
I actually told my best friend years ago

159
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.559
that you were my dream girl.
And you know it sounds crazy, but

160
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.440
I want you to be my girlfriend, she jokes. I was just like,

161
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.120
I just paid twenty five dollars for
the dating app. You seem really

162
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.039
nice, but I got to get
my money's worth every time she arrived at

163
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.759
a new location on her vacation,
and that man sent flowers to every hotel

164
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.879
she stayed at. When she told
her girlfriends about the gesture, they thought

165
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.840
it. When she told her male
friends, they said the man sounded like

166
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.799
a psychopath. I'll go with the
latter as well, she said. That's

167
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.600
how cheap and lazy men have become. When a fellow man commits any act

168
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.440
of kindness and a romantic gesture,
it must be a symptom of an undiagnosed

169
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.720
mental illness. Ellen Degenerous is returning
new Netflix for what she's calling her final

170
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480
stand up special. This is six
years after her last hour, which was

171
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.960
called Relatable. This one will air
later in the year. Ellen says to

172
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.240
answer the questions everyone was asking,
Yes, I'm going to talk about it.

173
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.679
Yes, this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that

174
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.759
pretty in real life. Let's see
what's happening down at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

175
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.399
I've already played this clip as I
pulled the audio, and I really

176
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.960
like this from Kevin Duo Jin.
Kevin Jin is the physically largest Asian Australian

177
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.840
comedian in Sydney. He'd like to
talk to you about Buddhism. There'll be

178
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.320
Zen Riddle's diagrams and family photos from
Kevin's childhood. Before I hit the clip

179
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.080
here, I should probably tell you
he has a long strand of hair,

180
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.320
which you will notice, and he
will explain I have a foot long ret

181
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:13.960
title because I want to have a
social life on hard mode and I hate

182
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.080
being able to date. My mom
actually gave me some dating advice. She

183
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.240
said, Kevin, if a girl
ever likes you, she's wrong, which

184
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.039
is very mean but also very silly, because I'm not going to take dating

185
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.960
advice from a virgin. I don't
mean a brag, but I've actually taken

186
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.200
several women out for a night in
the city, you know, get a

187
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:43.799
nice dinner in Chinatown or as I
like to call it town. At the

188
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.600
end of the night, I'd be
like, oh, hey, I had

189
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.240
a really good time. Just want
to be clear, was this a date?

190
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.039
And sometimes I'll say, ah,
I just want to be friends and

191
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.480
that's cool. But sometimes I'll make
it weird. They'll be like, oh,

192
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.639
I just want to be friends.
Also, I don't date Asians.

193
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:11.240
It's not exactly constructed criticism, like, if anything, this is a genetic

194
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.039
condition. But so Rondo for had
a really good comeback. They're like,

195
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.679
all the Donasians and I'll be like, you know what, that's totally cool.

196
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:28.120
It's totally fine. I don't date
racists. A little clapter at the

197
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.600
end there, but I laughed at
the front end, really enjoyed that.

198
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.559
Ali Morgan's show was called hard Lunch
or is it called hard Launch? I

199
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.399
wrote both down. I'm gonna guess
launch is correct. Remember the old thing

200
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.600
from the seventies far out space nuts
was it? They were going? They

201
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.279
pushed the launch button instead of the
lunch button, and they wound up in

202
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.559
space? Remember that, you know
what I'm talking about it's called hard launch

203
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.200
is Ali Morgan's show no clip,
But being really honest, what caught my

204
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.080
eye was the cover art that she's
using. She looks nice in this photo.

205
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.720
And you know, if you're in
any sort of show biz us recording

206
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.240
a podcast in your basement and I
did actually shower before the podcast today,

207
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.679
a major step up. How you
look is part of it, it really

208
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.600
is. You know, why did
I click her cover art as opposed to

209
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.240
thirty others? Well I did click
thirty others, but nobody else had any

210
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.120
audio, neither does she. But
this was the one I went, Ah,

211
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.240
I'm interested in seeing what Alie Morgan
has to say. Ali graduated from

212
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.720
drama school ready to take on any
role that came her way, and what

213
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.759
came her way was commercials. The
Sydney Morning Harold said newcomer could be a

214
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.919
younger Tim mentioned that's how praise four
stars. The Sydney scoop five stars belly

215
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.639
laughs, they said. Australian Arts
Review said we can expect Morgan to make

216
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.279
some big waves in the near future, and the Theater People gave her four

217
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.120
and a half stars, saying part
bo Burnham, part hannigansby Morgan holds her

218
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.080
audience in the palm of her hand, A right that sounds good. Far

219
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.679
Out magazine got up with John Clees. Clees was talking about how there should

220
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.919
be a separate OSCAR category for comedies. The topic Standy Kuprick's Doctor Strangelove.

221
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:05.320
The nineteen sixty four movie was nominated
for four Academy Awards, including Best Actor

222
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.000
for Peter Sellers. At one Nune
Clease noted that Sellers lost out on Best

223
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.759
Actor to Rex Harrison for his role
in My Fair Lady, Please feels that

224
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.879
Sellers had one of the greatest comedy
performances of all time. Of course,

225
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.360
they never give oscars to funny people. I think there is an extraordinary,

226
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.200
completely incorrect idea that drama is somehow
more important and more difficult than comedy,

227
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.240
whereas, in my opinion, comedy
is a great deal more difficult. All

228
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.240
you have to do if you get
a straight part is you've got to make

229
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.360
certain choices to make them believable.
If you've got to be funny, you've

230
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.840
got to make certain choices make them
believable, and then put all of your

231
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.919
comedy technique on top of that,
which a lot of straight actors don't have.

232
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.240
There are some actors who can do
funny and some very good actors who

233
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.360
can't. But I think all the
very very best comedians can act interesting.

234
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.000
Seth Myers he'll be hosting Late Night
with Seth Myers through twenty twenty eight.

235
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.480
In case you're curious about the rest
of the gang, John Oliver's deal goes

236
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.360
through twenty six. Stephen Colbert has
a three year deal that he signed last

237
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.720
year, so two years left on
that, and Kim All he's getting near

238
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.799
the end here of this deal of
twenty five. He's talked about retiring,

239
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.960
but I'll believe it when I see
it. And the Stranger dot Com has

240
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.159
been asking comedians who were performing at
the Egyptian about the ghosts. They asked

241
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.240
Sam Miller, Hey, Sam Miller, this shows out the Egyptian, which

242
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.279
is rumored to be haunted. Do
you believe in ghosts? I don't know

243
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.720
why I like this, bet,
Sam Miller said, I don't, and

244
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.879
I checked. I used to stay
up for three days at a time,

245
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.559
and if anyone would have seen a
ghost would have been me. But I've

246
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.759
been wrong before, so don't take
any chances. And that is your comedy
