Is Kevin Hart actually in a group chat with Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford and The Rock? PLUS an A.I. George Carlin releases an hour

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.640
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I
am Johnnie Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.400
Much quieter than yesterday. Yesterday,
guys, there was like five days

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.079
worth the news and it had to
be all crammed into one episode. Could

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.559
you've spread it out a little bit? Kevin Hart is making the rounds.

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.480
He's got this Netflix movie coming out
tomorrow. This is a good job of

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.480
feeding the media because you know they're
going to write about this. He said

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.240
that he's on a secret group chat
with the likes of Tom Cruise, Dwayne

8
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.640
Johnson, Harrison Ford, Jet Lee, Jackie Chan all the biggest guys.

9
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.159
I was with the all the Biggest
guys till we got to Jet Lee,

10
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.280
Jackie chand But anyway, Hart says, it's real secret chat. I shouldn't

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.039
be talking to you about this chat. I could get in a lot of

12
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.119
trouble from the other action guys,
other action guys, the Rock, Tom

13
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.600
Cruise. Kevin Hart, Yeah,
no, Kevin Hart said, when you're

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.159
an action guy, you know,
like Daween Johnson and Tom Cruise, you

15
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.240
have to have action stories. So
our chat is all about ping ponging action

16
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.400
stories and just making sure that everyone's
in sync. You know that's what it's

17
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.359
about. Yeah, this is a
real thing. It's like the rock is

18
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.239
home and he gets a text boop, oh it says Kevin Hart. Hey,

19
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.879
what do you guys think about a
motorcycle chase through downtown Paris? Like

20
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.400
what are these guys talking about?
And Tom Cruise is like, oh,

21
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.840
I better answer this. I don't
think so. And Jackie Chan is on

22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.599
this for some reason. Do you
really think Harrison Ford is participating in this

23
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.120
chat? Harrison Ford barely wants to
be in the movies that he's actually in.

24
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.439
I call hogwash. Kevin Hart?
Can I start a feud with Kevin

25
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.920
Hart? That'd be great? Another
Kevin Hart news He hopes that Kat Williams

26
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.599
tour with Kevin's ex wife goes well, ting Hi road there. He also

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.560
alluded to the fact that a lot
of the stuff that Cat Williams is saying

28
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.400
is entertainment. There's an AI George
Carlin. I will play a clip for

29
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.840
you. This is by comedy group
Dudezy. They begin the AI full George

30
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.040
Carland special. I listened to like
ninety seconds of it. I don't have

31
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.239
time for this kind of thing.
These special begins in a voice that's not

32
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.040
supposedly George Carlin. Hello, my
name is Dooozy. I just want to

33
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.560
let you know very clearly that what
you're about to hear is not George Carlin.

34
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.400
It's my impersonation of George Carlin that
I developed in the exact same way

35
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.439
that a human impressionist would. I
listened to all George Carlin's material and did

36
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.960
my best to imitate his voice,
cadence, and attitude, as well as

37
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.879
the subject matter I think would have
interested him today. So think of it

38
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.520
like Andy Kaufman impersonating Elvis, or
like Will Ferrell impersonating George W. Bush

39
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.080
cracked rights. As for the comedy
itself, that jokes are blurred copies by

40
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.159
a printer low on tooner, smudged, faded, and best thrown in the

41
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.759
trash. I think I own that
printer. The black doesn't work anymore,

42
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.360
no matter how many incartridges I spend
sixty dollars on. Anyway, Let's listen

43
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.159
up until the point that AI George
Carlin starts using naughty words, thank you,

44
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.919
thank you. I like to start
off with a heartfelt apology. I'm

45
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.960
sorry it took me so long to
come out with new material. But I

46
00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:02.719
do have a pretty good excuse.
I was dead, so technically it wasn't

47
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.439
my fault. If you want to
blame somebody, you're gonna have to blame

48
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.800
God, which we all know is
not gonna happen. People are always thanking

49
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.159
God for the good stuff in their
lives. You meet your soulmate. God

50
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.759
brought us together. Your soulmate dumps
you. God is bringing me someone else.

51
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.919
That first joke isn't bad, the
one about Carlyn being dead. In

52
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.639
fact, the special, if we
can call it that, The AI creation

53
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.000
is titled George Carlin, I'm glad
I'm dead. You may recall Dutcy previously

54
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:37.039
did AI Tom Brady, and then
Tom Brady, who's alive, shut that

55
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.360
down in he passed. George's daughter, Kelly Carlin, a friend of mine,

56
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.960
expressed that she's not a fan of
chat GPT, churning out jokes in

57
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.240
the style of her father. Kelly's
quoted as saying, I wish you were

58
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.080
here to rip AI a new butthole. My dad chose his word so very

59
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.000
carefully to express his innovative and brilliant
mind. He dedicated his life to it.

60
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.000
Now we have this crap from the
Howard. Reporter Michael Rappaport slams Hollywood

61
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.400
not speaking out about October seventh hostages
at Golden Globes quotes, not one person

62
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.719
said one thing. Rap report said, I'm embarrassed, and not one person

63
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.520
said one thing unless I'm mistaken.
At the Golden Globes the other night about

64
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.840
the one hundred and thirty three hostages
that were kidnapped in broad daylight from Israel

65
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.120
on October seventh. All that billion
dollar Barbie feminism and all these young conscious

66
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.680
actors and actresses, there's the hostages
that the exact same age as them,

67
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.319
and not one actor, not one
director, not one producer, not one

68
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.279
comedian. Nobody said anything before the
Golden Globes, after the Golden Globes,

69
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.160
or during the Golden Globes. I'm
not naming names because nobody said anything.

70
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.120
Rapport's also in the news via Portlandmercury
dot com. He's scheduled to play Helium

71
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.439
Comedy Club for five shows January twelfth
through the fourteenth. The Portland Mercury says

72
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.279
local comedians, business owners and activists
put out a call to action, telling

73
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.800
comedy fans to demand Helium's management cancel
the shows the reason. Since the October

74
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.319
seventh attacks on Israel by Hamas,
rap Report has said disturbing things in his

75
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.519
videos, supporting and even calling for
Israel's continued violence in Gaza. Portland Mercury

76
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.560
writes before for the October seventh attacks, Michael rapp Report's videos range from multipart

77
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:08.040
rambling commentary about Taylor Swift's Daaling life
to rants about former President Donald Trump,

78
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.839
delivered in a tone very similar to
Trump's own rhetorics. Since October seventh,

79
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.560
rapp Reports videos have been almost exclusively
about Israel, Hamas and Israel's invasion of

80
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.519
Gaza. Reys Hendrick has a local
comedy blog Laughs PDX, and on December

81
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.920
twenty eighth, Road given recent commentary
for mister rapperport about the ongoing violence in

82
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.920
Gaza. We do not support the
platform being provided for him. Well,

83
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.279
it's not our place to police the
scene or individual clubs. We find it

84
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.560
necessary to voice our stance in solidary
with the Palestinian people. Activists within Portland's

85
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.360
comedy community circulated call to action flyers
on social media. Rapp Report responded to

86
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.879
that, calling it the best live
show promotion ever. Did you know the

87
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.079
Emmys are on Monday. The Primetime
Emmy's January fifteenth. Your host this year

88
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.600
Anthony Anderson a comedic actor of sorts. I remember first knowing him as a

89
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.639
comedian and then he played Antoine Mitchell
on the Shield and was scary. He

90
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.480
did a great job on that.
What a versatile performer. The Hollywood Reporter

91
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.079
profiled Anthony Anderson under the headline,
I didn't get this far by playing it

92
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.920
safe. Further reporter, he plans
to honor Norman Lear and that that friends

93
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.839
and performers from the stage. One
of his jokes, does Jason Sedekas need

94
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.079
another fing Emmy? As for hosting, I think my team may have given

95
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.800
them resounding yes before they even brought
the offer to me. The contacted my

96
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.120
team like, do you think Anthony
would be interested in host? Yes?

97
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.439
Do you guys need to talk to
him first? No, he's interested.

98
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.720
He's gonna do it. We'll call
him later. I think that's how the

99
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.439
conversation went. Hollyod Porter said,
what's the appeal? Many others have suggested

100
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.959
it's a pretty thankless job. You
can ask Joe Coy. Anderson said,

101
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.240
well, since I'm oh for eleven
in the win loss category, of the

102
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.519
Emmy, as I figured, why
not host the award that I covered the

103
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.040
most, and he's missing from my
shelf. So that's why. Hollard reporter

104
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.319
asked, as you sit here now, are any targets becoming clear? Anderson

105
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.000
said, oh yeah, that's what
being a host of one of these shows

106
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.279
is about. Taking jabs at your
friends, taking jabs at other actors and

107
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.839
television shows. I'll also be self
deprecating. That's what makes it fun for

108
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.639
the people who are sitting at home
watching this and we're thinking the same thing.

109
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.439
So yeah, I'll poke fund at
people that are sitting in the audience,

110
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.439
but it'll be nothing personal Taylor Swift. It'll be all light humor to

111
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.360
keep the show moving along and a
smile on everyone's face, you know,

112
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:11.720
unless you crack a harmless joke and
somebody ices you by drinking champagne. Bring

113
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.560
it Swiftiest. I want to get
into a Twitter war with the Swifties and

114
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.399
Kevin Hurt. That'll get me some
downloads. I could take the heat.

115
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.680
Bring it good. Question by the
Hollywood Reporter. What's the worst case scenario

116
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.279
for you getting called out for playing
it too safe or potentially crossing a line

117
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.759
and upsetting people. I'll throw in
there and you know, somebody gets up

118
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.920
and slaps you in the face.
Anderson said, I've been known to be

119
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.600
a habitual line cross or I didn't
get this for in my career and achieve

120
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.240
what I've achieved by playing it safe. We're gonna push the envelope and have

121
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.439
fun, but we're gonna do it
in a very respectful way. You'll have

122
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.720
to tune in to see. He's
gonna keep the show tight, he says.

123
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.399
We're toying with the fact that we
might not have playoff music for the

124
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.480
speeches to go too long. What
we will have is my mother. She'll

125
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.360
be the playoff music, and every
now and again you may see here peek

126
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.519
out from behind the curtain and tap
her. Watch like, come on,

127
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.199
baby, I gotta be out of
here. By eleven, I got a

128
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.920
date a the Bengal Hall. Let's
go wrap it up. I'm reaching out

129
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.519
to all my friends who hosted the
show. I've already spoken to Keenan Thomson

130
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.240
and Jimmy Kimmel. They've said things
like, just be true to myself and

131
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.560
be humorous. Make sure that I'm
in the writing room, make sure that

132
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.680
the writers capture my voice, make
sure that I'm available in case there's something

133
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.240
that happens live and in the moment, sounds like it to be a lot

134
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.399
of fun. That's Monday. I
noticed on my phone this morning Jim Brewer

135
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.519
is the guest on the Joe Rogan
Experience. I haven't listened to it yet.

136
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.480
Oh before I forget, I haven't
watched Pete Davidson yet either. I

137
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.759
was in TV mode the other night
and I forgot it existed. I wound

138
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.160
up watching season two of Reacher.
I'm trying to get all my Amazon shows

139
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.680
in before they had commercials at the
end of the month. I just can't

140
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.600
with the commercials. Man. I
think streaming has tricked us because we ust

141
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.960
to have DVRs and could skip the
commercials, and now on streaming we can't

142
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.840
skip the commercials. We have to
give them extra money. We were long

143
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.200
played there for four years, but
now I see what they did well played

144
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.600
anyway. The Rogan fans didn't like
Jim Brewer's appearance. According to essentially sports

145
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.120
dot Com, some of the comments
on social media port Joe imagine looking up

146
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.360
to and being influenced by Jim Brewer's
seventh grade class clown level stand up.

147
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.919
Another said Brewer was the star of
SNL when I was in seventh grade,

148
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.600
and he sucked essentially, Sports wrote
and I haven't heard this yet, but

149
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.879
said. Some fans were concerned about
Jim Brewer, guessing that something was wrong

150
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.080
with the actor and comedian. On
the other hand, one fan urged viewers

151
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.039
to skip the episode's featuring guests who
they don't find interesting. One said Brewer

152
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.360
literally sounds insane. I feel bad
at this point. Another just ignored the

153
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.879
bad guests and listen when a good
guest is on. Another, this was

154
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.879
so bad I had to turn it
off. I'm thinking now, I used

155
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.320
to know Jim really well, but
I don't think I've spoken to him.

156
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.039
It might be ten years now.
I left Serious in twenty fourteen, right

157
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.639
around now. We might have spoken
once after, but I haven't ran into

158
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.080
Jim in a long time. Hope
he's doing well. Jim co starred in

159
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.919
Half Bag with Dave Chappelle, Nice
Segue, Johnny mack Well. Dave Chappelle's

160
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.279
The Dreamer was number two on the
English language TV charts from January first to

161
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.639
seventh. During that window, it
managed ten point two million views. It's

162
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.720
the special second week on the Netflix
charts after it jumped to number five with

163
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.799
just one day of viewing under its
belt. The top spot on the English

164
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.080
TV charts went to Fool Me Once, that had eight episodes all dropped at

165
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.639
once thirty seven point one million viewers. Nico Lang in The Daily Beast writes,

166
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.519
at the end of The Dreamer,
my husband turned to me, exasperated

167
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.120
and side, what is he even
getting out of this twenty million dollars?

168
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.240
I responded, matter of factly,
but I knew what he meant. My

169
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.639
partner's concern was not financial gain,
but rewards of the spiritual kind. After

170
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.440
a string of comedy specialist mocking trans
people, Chappelle drank from the well once

171
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.440
more and a listless routine star for
fresh ideas or even remotely interesting ones.

172
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.960
As a man who once represented comedy's
aavant garde, who suggested bold new directions

173
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.759
for where the art form could go, my husband was curious to know does

174
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.960
Dave Chappelle feel fulfilled by any of
this? Is this how he thought he'd

175
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.320
use his enormous potential. One of
the most depressing aspects of Chappelle's recent downward

176
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.120
spiral is the sense that he's capable
of more is the Dreamer sits comfortably within

177
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.799
the top ten of Netflix's daily charts. Chappelle was proving once more that there

178
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.799
was no real need to be quiet. He'll continue to benefit from saying his

179
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.639
feelings as plainly as he desires,
and whatever stage he desires. Greta Gerwig

180
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.480
commented on Joe Coy's Barbie joke.
He may remember that he compared Barbie to

181
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.919
Oppenheimer, saying that Oppenheimer is based
on a seven hundred and twenty one page

182
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.720
Pulitzer Prize winning book about the Manhattan
Project, and Barbie is a plastic doll

183
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.080
with big boobies. Greta said,
well, he's not wrong. She's the

184
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.960
first doll that was mass produced with
breasts, so it was right on because

185
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.360
it is about a plastic doll.
Barbie buy her very construction, has no

186
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.799
character, no story. She's there
to be projected upon. And that is

Throw some money in the tip jar, I'll take your money. I'll

191
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.200
go to the National Donuts chain.
I well use my app. Actually I

192
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.519
don't talk to humans anymore. And
I'll have pre ordered a large iced coffee

193

will go there and get it and drink

Mack. See you tomorrow
