00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.800
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.119
daily comedy news. If you missed Sunday's episode, it was
3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.960
pretty robust and lengthy for a weekend episode, a lot
4
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.239
of news in there. Go back and listen. I'm excited
5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.719
about today because I like strife. I like when everybody's
6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.320
fighting with everybody, and we've got a bunch of stories today.
7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.399
Let's start with Dana Corvey, who's pretty sure it wasn't
8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.399
Heidi Gardner's decision to leave Saturday Night Live. Oh that's
9
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.320
a headline. Dana was on his Fly on the Wall
10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.479
podcast with David Spade and said, from what I know
11
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.840
as of this recording, it was not her idea to leave.
12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.399
He gave himself a wiggle room and said he could
13
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.560
be wrong. Spade said that would be a little shocking
14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.320
because she's really one of the core ones you know
15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.560
from that show and she does a great job. Carvey,
16
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.359
you never know, and it's a hard thing. But I
17
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.920
was really really surprised. Carvey then recalled speaking to Devin
18
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.479
Walker about his three years Quoting Carvey, Devin had told
19
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.879
me that when you don't get on the show a lot,
20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.680
then when you get out there and you have a moment,
21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.799
you're not relaxed because it's like, if you don't score here,
22
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.000
you go back in line. So it can be emotionally
23
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.159
violent depending on where you are in the show, or
24
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.000
it could be a magic ride. Carvey said what got
25
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.359
his attention the most was the breaking up of the
26
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.840
you Please don't destroy guys, especially given the John Higgins,
27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.519
whose son of longtime SNL producer Steve Higgins. That John
28
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.760
Higgins is leaving the show altogether. Carvey said, So that
29
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.640
really surprised me, and on a human level, I was
30
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.879
surprised that they kept some of them. Spade said, so
31
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.040
the one guy has to say I'm gonna take this,
32
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.120
I'm gonna be a cast member. It's effing awkward for sure.
33
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.120
Devin Walker has clarified some of his comments. Remember he
34
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.280
said it was a toxic atmosphere. He has spoken some
35
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.439
more and said, I understand it's show business and it's cutthroat,
36
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.920
but people of lives and people deserve to know the
37
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.519
status of their job at a reasonable juncture. There's a
38
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.480
measure of humanity that the show could benefit from. What
39
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.079
ends up had happening over the summer is Oftentimes people
40
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.760
left hanging with big life decisions, people trying to start
41
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.439
families or buy homes, and there's no word from the
42
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.919
show about whether they have the job. The show won't
43
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.560
tell them all summer, and then we'll ultimately end up
44
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:14.479
firing them when there's been months of them trying to
45
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.280
work their situation out. He then clarified that was a
46
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.479
nice situation, but I've known of situations to where that's happened.
47
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.080
If there's one thing I hope for the future of
48
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.840
the show, it's that a sprinkle of humanity could be
49
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.439
added into it. Most people are told they're coming back
50
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.800
to work in a week. He says his decision was
51
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.719
a mutual decision and recognizes that devoting yourself to the
52
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.719
time commitment of the show's just part of it. You're
53
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.680
expected to get in line. But again, on the measure
54
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.080
of transparracy and clarity around people's employment, we're human beings.
55
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.840
We've got to put food on the table. Some of
56
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.199
us support other people in our lives. We're not making
57
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.120
millions of dollars on the show. It's not like we're
58
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.039
good And definitely, once we leave, did you sell your
59
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.719
SNL stock? Did you hear comedy stock Market on Friday,
60
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.599
sell your SNL stock all right? D not so canceled
61
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.199
asase I'm Sorry has spoken out. You may recall back
62
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.080
in twenty eighteen, an anonymous accuser recounted a date with
63
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.120
a Z's and Sorry that left her feeling violated. After
64
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.599
an initial statement detailing his surprise and concern at the allegations,
65
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.319
Aziz addressed the incident in twenty nineteen while touring the
66
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.240
country with stand up material eventually filmed for a Netflix special.
67
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.639
Then there was more backlash as az'sin Sorry was criticized
68
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.360
for acknowledging the claims without offering a public apology. He
69
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.879
has addressed it again. Why now, Because he's promoting a movie.
70
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.360
That's why. Let's all be honest. He's bringing this up
71
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.759
to get you to talk about his new film. He
72
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.400
has told The Hollywood Reporter there was an apology, but
73
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.439
it wasn't for public consumption. The poll quote, I mean,
74
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.000
I apologize to the person personally right when it happened.
75
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.919
Aziz denied pulling back from the spotlight after the accusation.
76
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.960
He said it wasn't really a break per se. I
77
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.520
did that tour and I wanted to address it in
78
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.400
the special because people were curious about how I felt
79
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.919
about the whole experience, so I felt like I had
80
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.199
to talk about it in the special. As he said,
81
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.800
I took her words to heart and respond privately after
82
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.919
taking time to process what she had said. I continue
83
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.919
to support the movement that is happening in our culture.
84
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.840
It is necessary and long overdue. There's times I felt scared,
85
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.039
There's times I felt humiliated, There's times I felt embarrassed,
86
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.680
and ultimately I just felt terrible that this person felt
87
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.079
this way. And after a year or so, I just
88
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.959
hope it was a step forward. It moved things forward
89
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.680
from me and made me think about that a lot.
90
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.120
I hope I've become a better person. I always think
91
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.879
about a conversation I had with one of my friends
92
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.040
where I was like, you know what, man, that whole
93
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.839
thing made me think about every date I've ever been on,
94
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.879
and I thought, wow, well that's pretty incredible. It made
95
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.199
not just me, but other people more thoughtful, and that's
96
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.959
a good thing. Now, if you're not hip to all this,
97
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.040
by the way, if kids are listening, stop listening, stop
98
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.879
the podcast. Okay, everybody else, just adult to now. Babe,
99
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.680
dot net and it's still up on the internet. I'm
100
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.839
looking at it right now. This is a piece by
101
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.079
Katie Way in twenty eighteen. The headline I went on
102
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.120
a date with AZ's I'm sorry it turned into the
103
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.639
worst night of my life. And then if you want
104
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.000
to read this piece, it gets into the details of
105
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.720
their dates, which is far, far too graphic for this show,
106
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.199
a far too complicated situation for me to try and
107
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.600
do here in the middle of a comedy podcast. But
108
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.240
check out the piece from Babe dot net and then
109
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.240
reconcile that with some of the poll quotes I just
110
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.600
read from Disease. I'm Sorry. Good Fortune arrives in theaters
111
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.199
October seventeenth. Caleb Hearon is getting an HBO special. Interesting
112
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.439
to me. It'll debut on Friday, September nineteenth at nine
113
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.480
easterns so it's not one of those Saturday ten PM deals.
114
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.199
For some reason, Caleb Hearon gets Friday September nineteenth at
115
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.279
nine o'clock. He did put out a trailer, It's too
116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.120
naughty for this show. Filmed in Chicago. Caleb Hearn, model comedian,
117
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.439
showcases here on his ability to unpack life's most absurd
118
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.240
contradictions with his signature charm and razor sharp wit. That's
119
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.680
a generic description of almost every comedy special. Guys, can
120
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.720
you work a little harder at that sentence? Anyway? The
121
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.879
trailer is funny. I liked it. It's just a little
122
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.519
too naughty and let's see I've got a long gut
123
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.480
field of let's do that tomorrow. Let me tell you
124
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.560
about the worst in the world, Jay Leno. This guy
125
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.600
Michael Boublay told a story about Jay Leno. He said,
126
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:05.959
I used to open up for Jay when I was
127
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.319
a kid, before I ever got signed, because he's like
128
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.279
the hardest working man, And I would say to him,
129
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.240
can you give me some advice? Now, what do you think?
130
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.879
Jay Leno said? Jay Leno said, Yeah, take the time
131
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.639
to travel, go to people's backyards and play for them.
132
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.199
You'll belong to them. You'll be tangible to them. They'll
133
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:21.879
see that when you tell them you appreciate them, you
134
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.079
really do, because you took the time to show up. Boy,
135
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.959
that Jay Leno, he's just the worst. David Byrne, you know,
136
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.959
the guy that was the singer in Talking Heads. He
137
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.399
was out promoting his new album and went up telling
138
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.879
Jimmy Fallon that he tried stand up comedy. Fred Armison
139
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.480
had come by to see David Broadway show American Utopia
140
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.160
and saw that David Byrne could get a laugh and
141
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.519
encourage David Byrne to try stand up. Burne said, really,
142
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.360
it's the scariest thing in the world. I don't have
143
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.079
to tell you, Jimmy Fallon, but I have to tell
144
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.240
these people. You don't have a band. It's just you.
145
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.319
And if it goes badly, it goes badly. You can't
146
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.680
turn around and say, hey, my bass player. Fed up,
147
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.360
David Byrne said. Fred Armison asked him to make an
148
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.920
unannounced appearance in LA and said, sure, Can I do
149
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.920
it as a slide show? Fred said, yeah, sure, we'll
150
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.680
set that up. Brince said, all I had to do
151
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.519
was show the picture and kind of say what it was.
152
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.240
I have no idea if it went well or not.
153
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.560
And are you in the market for a lake house?
154
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.600
You might want to buy Daniel Tosh's Lake Tahoe waterfront compound.
155
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.560
It's for sale. It'll run you eleven point nine million dollars,
156
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.560
but maybe you can negotiate that down a little. Who
157
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.439
knows it has ninety three feet of Lake Tahoe shoreline,
158
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.040
a boke shed turned cabin. It's surrounded by pine trees.
159
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.920
The description tells us when you drive through the gate
160
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.639
and into the estate, instantly feel like you stepped away
161
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.279
from all the chaos, but you're so close to everything. Restaurants, hiking, trails, cycling.
162
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.480
There are multiple homes. The property's newer ford bedroom upper home,
163
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.319
fancy that takes in lake views and they're nice pictures
164
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.680
I saw the listing. Steam showers are part of every bathroom,
165
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.639
and there's also a dry sauna downstairs. A large family room,
166
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.759
pooled table, large TV, sona surrounds it, shuffle board, a bar,
167
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.639
and of course an industrial ice cream maker. Did I
168
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.839
tell you I met Daniel Toosh once? Back? It's serious
169
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.000
A million years ago, you know how, Like a lot
170
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.680
of times, Ibody be like, Oh, Larry the cable guy,
171
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.720
that guy's awesome, Keeg and Michael Key, that dude's awesome.
172
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.079
Have you ever heard me tell you a story about
173
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.319
Daniel Tosh along those lines? I haven't right. You figure
174
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.240
the rest out. Not a warm and fuzzy man, the
175
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.959
realtor says, when not cozying up inside the residence. The
176
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.959
family's on the lake, wakesurfing using the banana tube. We're
177
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.759
taking the boat to Tahoe City and other restaurants on
178
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.200
the lake. Yeah. I mean, if you're gonna buy a
179
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.720
twelve million dollar lakehouse, you probably should get a boat.
180
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.080
And that is your comedy news today. Maybe tomorrow I'll
181
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.279
tell you a story about Daniel Tosh being warm and fuzzy.
182
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.519
But you know, I might forget. You know, sometimes I
183
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.120
forget to put a story in. See tomorrow
