00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.160
comedy news. Ryan Reynolds was on Conan O'Brien needs a friend.
3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.839
Conan said, we're in a moment where politically there's some
4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.920
tension between Canada and the United States over tariffs. What
5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.359
do you guys send us? What do we send you?
6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.000
And it occurred to me today that we've been getting
7
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.440
some of the greatest comedians in comic minds and actors
8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.679
of all times from Canada. And I don't think we've
9
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.399
sent you a crap. I don't think we've exported much
10
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:33.799
to you in the comedy realm. And I think if
11
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.960
somebody would do a reckoning just comedically, and you started
12
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.640
to add up the Ryan Reynolds and the Martin Short
13
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.479
and the Lorn Michaels and the Mike Myers, it just
14
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.079
goes on and on. There's too many to even begin naming. Oh,
15
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.159
I can read your mind now, and you're like, Oh,
16
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.640
I can think of plenty of funny American comedians. I
17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.119
guess the point is we haven't exported the American comedians
18
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.399
to Canada. Sarah Silverman, in that Rolling Stone interview, talked
19
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.399
about how the reactions to October seventh left her stunned.
20
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.000
Sarah said the alienation of liberal Jews was a stamp.
21
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.399
Everyone's afraid to say anything. I couldn't even imagine doing
22
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.239
stand up. I was scared. And it was Chelsea Handler
23
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.879
who was like, get your ass up. Your job is
24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.000
to make people laugh. That's your job. And I needed that, boy,
25
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.200
I needed it. And then she made me open for her,
26
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.159
and honestly was a gift because I realized that it's important.
27
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.120
Here's this John Mulaney story that I mentioned on Monday
28
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:20.719
that I bounced. I didn't get to it yesterday. The
29
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.879
yesterday was pretty packed the Washington Post as the headline
30
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.200
something about John Mullaney's Netflix talk show Isn't working, to
31
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.280
which I shared in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
32
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.159
podcast group. The meme of Bruce willis from Diehard going
33
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.079
Welcome to the Party, pal Johnny Maxman saying this all season.
34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.560
Wash Po writes not even Mullaney can muster much interest
35
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.359
in some of the subjects he chose, or in the
36
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.560
experts discussing them. Some like cruises feel phoned in, and
37
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.920
his obvious anxiety over whether in exchange will pay off.
38
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.799
Sometimes Trump's his interest in any particular contribution. He frequently
39
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.640
truncates conversations that were just getting going. It doesn't help
40
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.120
that there's so much amiable agreement between Millanie and his
41
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.040
guests absence some fiddly on stage dynamic he can provoke
42
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.800
in stage manage, Mulanie needs something to do, especially when
43
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.360
things are too friendly, he turns all that surplus energy
44
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.919
and vitriol onto the poor callers. There's a sense that
45
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.840
where everybody's in la joyfully invited folks in everybody's live
46
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.319
kicks them out. The eccentricity that makes Melanie's stand up
47
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.680
so good is precisely what makes it hard for many
48
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.199
guests and callers to chime in. His dinosaur bid, for instance,
49
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.680
is so genuinely weird that no guests managed to really
50
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.159
join him in that headspace. Conan tried hard, so did
51
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.520
Tina Fey. When an actual world class expert paleontologist Jack
52
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.080
Warner called in and tried to play along m'lanie, who
53
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.280
seemed to not know he was hung up on him.
54
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.879
Wash Po writes, a servit John could be fun. It's
55
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.680
instructive to watch Millenie snap judgments in action, as when
56
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.520
he hung up on a caller in the Cruises episode
57
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.000
because his anecdotes sounded two rehearsed. Malani said, you've added
58
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.199
little tags. It's become a yarn. We don't have time.
59
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.479
Krackt asked, did John Mulaney rip off Chris Gethard again?
60
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.280
They write? Ever since the beginning of Everybody's Life with
61
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.599
John Mulleni, fans have accused melleny of ripping off The
62
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280
Chris Gethard Show, a k Bleaxis comedy talk show that
63
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.520
was on Fusion and True TV, on which Mullany was
64
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.680
a multiple time guest. The latest example was the Blindfold
65
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.479
episode last week, in which Mullany navigated the entire show
66
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.960
with a bandana tied around his eyes. The Getherard version
67
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.680
was dubbed the Blindfold Show. On The Blindfold Show, Chris
68
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.000
told jokes and took viewer phone calls, just like Mullaney did.
69
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.960
It was such a popular episode that Gethard recommended it
70
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.759
to new fans as an entry point to his show's weirdness.
71
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.120
It also inspired The Blindfold Show, Too correct Right at
72
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.919
this point, it's almost like Mlanie's trolling fans, daring them
73
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.680
to find the YouTube clips that inspired this week's episode,
74
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.800
why not at least invite gether to guest on one
75
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.319
of the panels. They're said, he's a very brilliant guy.
76
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.840
John mulaney doesn't need to rip me off in any way.
77
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.159
Matteolane had a special ad on Hulu on Friday. I
78
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.319
had forgotten about it because you know the Hulu publicists, Yeah,
79
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.159
they don't get back to you. I'm trying to be
80
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.599
your friend, Hulu publicists. I would publicize your stuff, but
81
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.120
there I wasn't Hulu, and I was like, oh, yeah,
82
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.159
Mittelolane put out a special I would have mentioned that
83
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.639
on my daily comedy news podcast, but there was also
84
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.080
no press about it. Since then, people caught up with
85
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.800
Mittel Lane, who told them, when I'm writing jokes, my
86
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.560
brain's back to being a sponge absorbing everything around me. Like, oh,
87
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.879
that might be a funny idea that could work. Even
88
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.639
when I was four, I said I wanted to be
89
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.120
a famous comedic actor like Jim Carrey. I knew I
90
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.360
had something. It was always the feeling of something else
91
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.040
is waiting for me. And once I found stand up,
92
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.199
that feeling left me. I thought, this is my goal
93
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.360
in life. I'm doing this forever. Kind of felt like
94
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.240
a calling. MATEO started in comedy in two thousand and nine.
95
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.879
He said he didn't truly make it until twenty twenty one.
96
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.959
That was when I was posting my own stuff online
97
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.600
networks like Netflix and HBO. The gatekeepers had an idea
98
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.879
of what a gay person was supposed to be. They
99
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.720
didn't see the value in gay end just being funny,
100
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.079
So I did it on my own intern's out There
101
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.120
was an audience for me. I really enjoyed the challenge
102
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.639
because I try to be an optimist and I think
103
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.279
we all have more in common than we think. A
104
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:56.720
lot of the older people are telling us that we
105
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.399
don't have something in common. So if someone has a
106
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.120
negative idea about a gay person, they see me and
107
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.839
they laugh. Maybe in the future they'll think of that
108
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.639
not curing cancer. But I think little by little we
109
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.399
have to find a common ground. I think humor is
110
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.600
a great way to do that. What's next. I've done enough.
111
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.720
I'm taking the summer off. I'll be writing new jokes.
112
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.560
But I haven't taken a proper vacation in so long.
113
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.920
I'm going to Thailand and Cambodi with friends to see
114
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.959
another part of the world. The Aldente special is on
115
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.480
Hulu a Theovann making the podcast third day in a row.
116
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.360
He has opened up about his recent hang with Avanka
117
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.319
and Jared Kushner. THEO shared a photo of them, Avanka
118
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.160
stunning in a cutout black mini dressed. Jared opted for
119
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.040
a more casual look with a black T shirt and
120
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.920
white trousers. You can tell him sourcing a British paper here,
121
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.879
and Theovan was seen wearing a colorful T shirt and
122
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.279
gray trousers. THEO on X posted, y'all's poster is so good.
123
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.120
Wh are you all in spine club or something? I'm
124
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.639
built like a damn raccoon. Thanks for the hospitality. Had
125
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.040
a blast I mentioned yeshae. Kevin Hart is working on
126
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.600
a film called seventy two Hours, in which he plays
127
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.000
a forty something executive who joins a group of twenty
128
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.079
somethings on a three day bachelor party. One of those bachelors,
129
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.240
Marcello Hernandez, who does one thing. Well, well, if you're

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.920

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.000

or A eight and a Kia. Hey guys, I have
138
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.120

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.120
seventy two hours at GWCNYC dot com. So seven two hours,
142
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.120
one word at GWCNYC dot com. Make your subject line
143
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.759
luxury cars. They need to know your full name, whether
144
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.600
or not you're a SAG member, your height, weight, clothing
145
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.319
and shoe sizes, whether or not you're local to New
146
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.040
Jersey or New York. Are you eighteen or older? What's
147
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.439
the make, model, year, in color of your car, current
148
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.319
clear photos of yourself close up and full body, and
149
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.920
a current photo of the car. That's a lot. Semaphore
150
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.360
reporting that Bill Maher shut down his podcast company. I'm
151
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.079
sure he'll keep doing his podcast, but back in twenty
152
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.720
twenty four, not too long ago, Bill Maher launched Club
153
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.160
Random Studios. Two people familiar with the situation have said
154
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.160
the podcast studio has ceased operations. The website that once
155
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.800
hosted the network show no longer works. Matt Friends podcast
156
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.120
has not shared a full episode since late last year.
157
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.920
Journalist Ricky Schlott, who had announced the show with the
158
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.519
network last year, also hasn't shared an episode in months.
159
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.839
Club Random Studios did not return their request to comment.
160
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.439
The idea was to elevate voices from Bill Maher's extended
161
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.360
universe comedians, musicians, and journalists with heterodox views on issues
162
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.199
and shared skepticism of what they perceived is the overreach
163
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.240
of liberals and the left. At the time, Bill Moore said,
164
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.120
I want to help this impressive slate of other voices
165
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.480
do the same thing on the Club Random network. Dance
166
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.560
like no one's watching, We talk like no one can
167
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.680
cancel us. Very interesting. A little more from that Cracked
168
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.839
dot com interview with Nora Dunn, they were curious how
169
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.680
she feels about folks like Dave Chappelle and Donald Trump
170
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.759
hosting SNL. Nora said, with Chappelle, I do think he's very,
171
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.759
very smart. When I saw the specially did, I was
172
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.720
turned off completely. You can't endorse that. I was really
173
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.039
turned off by that, and I don't think it should
174
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.120
have been hired. It's too bad, though, because I always
175
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.440
thought he was great. But then he's getting on the
176
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.639
bandwagon and picking on people in this country who are
177
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.399
only about two percent of the population. Why are you
178
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.759
picking on then one have done to you? Why do
179
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.879
you say you hate them? Let me jump in there.
180
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.919
I don't think Dave says that he hates anyone. He
181
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.360
jokes about folks, and we can debate that all day,
182
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.559
but I don't think Dave is saying I hate these people?
183
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.679
Am I forgetful? There? Nora says us for Trump? They
184
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.200
hired Trump after he came down that escalator. That's not okay,
185
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.399
And of course that show was terrible. Cracked asked, why
186
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.919
do you think controversial figures like Trump and Elon Muskin
187
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.080
Shane Gillis are asked to be the hosts? Is Shane
188
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.159
really that controversial? Guys? I mean, what are we mad about?
189
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.720
A bit that Shane did on his podcast before anybody
190
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.480
heard of him before the whole SNL thing, Like what
191
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.559
is controversial about Shane Gillis. He's just a guy with
192
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.240
a very charismatic smile who tells goofy jokes and it's
193
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.000
just having fun. Noorah said, it's the ratings, it's the
194
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.039
idea of being cutting edge. Jimmy Fallon told Kelly Clarkson
195
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.879
he one stepped in as Don Pardo, who used to
196
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.120
do the voices on SNL. If you listen to my podcast,
197
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.480
you're probably familiar with Don Pardo. Fallon, who was on
198
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.639
SNL from ninety eight to oh four, said he was
199
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.679
sick one night and Lauren said, Jimmy, can you do
200
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.039
Don Pardo? And I was like, I think I can.
201
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.639
I mean, I'll try. Not exactly sure why that made news,
202
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.919
because it is pretty well known that Daryl Hammond often
203
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.879
filled in for Don Parto late in Don's run. And
204
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.720
I'm doing this from memory. I think Don worked into
205
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.600
his nineties. Maybe yeah. Don passed away in twenty fourteen
206
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.679
at age ninety six, but Darryl Hammond did it a
207
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.759
bunch of times, and that was like a known thing. Anyway.
208
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.639
As I have said a lot recently, Fellon is very talented.
209
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.639
He's just in the Tonight Show box and he understands
210
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:15.519
the gig, and sometimes you have to understand the gig.
211
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.559
Kraischer was on Jay Shetty's pod. I listened to this
212
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.039
driving down to the graduation last week. It was okay,
213
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.279
I got bordered it at some point. It's fine. Kraischer
214
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.120
talked about his relationship with his father. My dad's a
215
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.440
great dad, but he's just like, hey, don't you cry.
216
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.120
One Easter, everyone leaves and it's me and my dad
217
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.000
high as crap, really high. And then I leaned over
218
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:35.200
to him and I said, why do you like me?
219
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.159
And he goes, I love you. You just make me uncomfortable.
220
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.080
He's like, I love you and I'm afraid you're going
221
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.559
to die. And I said, well, I'm not going to die,
222
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.240
and he goes, you don't know that I lost my
223
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.279
dad when I was young, and I'm terrified to lose you.
224
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.679
And I don't understand you. I don't understand your lifestyle.
225
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.480
Bert let his father set him up with a cardiologist.
226
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.919
While the tests came back fine, Bert says, and I
227
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.840
want to say, from that day on, our relationship was
228
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.360
so much smoother. That's kind of a cool story. Nice
229
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.320
job by Nick Carl Seth Meyer's, Amy Schumer, John and others.
230
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.559
They hosted a one night only event for a memorial
231
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.720
Sloan Kettering Cancer Center mission of ending cancer. A million
232
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.120
years ago my father got treatment at Sloan. They did
233
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.200
great work. Comedy Versus Cancer is the official comedy benefit
234
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.600
show for blood cancer research at Sloan. They sold out
235
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.240
one night only event raised two point three million dollars.
236
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.919
Kroll was your host. He's the co founder and host
237
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.279
of Comedy Versus Cancer and said laughter as a way
238
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.840
of cutting through the heavy stuff and is a great
239
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.120
unifier raising money to fund research for rare blood cancers
240
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.080
can still be joyful, and we dedicate each year of
241
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.440
Comedy Versus Cancer. That's doing just that, creating a night
242
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.600
of laughter to rally around a cause that affects so many.
243
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.399
What's interesting to me is I didn't see a thing
