00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.560
Hi there, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.119
The news continues to be feisty. I just wanted to
4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:16.679
do U, S and L today, but I do need
5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.359
to cover some THEO Von stories. I'll take out a
6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.000
little light on Riodd today. I have plenty about Riod
7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.160
and Sunday Show, and I'll do the late night jokes tomorrow.
8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.199
But let's get to theo Von. On his podcast this
9
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.799
past weekend, he addressed that whole thing with the DHS
10
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.880
using his clip, and theose comments here get pretty interesting.
11
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.880
I have made edits for both language and pacing, but
12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.560
listen to theo here.
13
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.039
My father immigrated here from Nicaraugule, right. Like one of
14
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.159
my prize possessions is I have his immigration papers when
15
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.880
he came here, and I have him in a frame
16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.359
and him and his siblings when they came here, and
17
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.840
so I have tons of thoughts about him. It was
18
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:04.560
like on all platforms and stuff. So SOD had me
19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.959
really kind of paranoid. You know. That had me start
20
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.680
to get kind of paranoid, and you know, like closing,
21
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.319
like you know, I had the curtains in my house
22
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.480
kind of closed I was just like, you know, you're paranoid.
23
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.079
I woke up the next morning to a text from
24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.319
a high government official saying, Hey, if you need uh
25
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.120
some extra security in your neighborhood or some extra police
26
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.640
cars on patrol, let me know. And I'm like, what
27
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.959
what are you talking about extra security? I don't have any, Like,
28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.200
you know, I don't even know the code of my
29
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.799
RINGT camera, Like I don't even know how to log
30
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.239
into it. So it's like and then, and like, what,
31
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.239
You're just gonna put police cars in my neighborhood? What
32
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.239
are my neighbors gonna think? Now? They're fearful? Like it
33
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.079
just like I don't know, man, that that like really
34
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.239
kind of shook me. It really kind of shook me.
35
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.760
But you just you keep marching on.
36
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.799
If you listen to to this podcast early on Saturday morning,
37
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.359
and why wouldn't you you have time yet? THEO will
38
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.560
be the celebrity guest picker on College Game Day today.
39
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.000
Vanderbilt at Alabama will mark Theovan's second appearance on college
40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.000
Game Day. He previously was on the panel as the
41
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.520
guest picker at the twenty twenty three SEC Championship between
42
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.560
Alabama and Georgia. Saturday Night Live is back tonight, Bad
43
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.240
Bunny as your host, Doja Cat is the musical guest,
44
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.680
next week Amy Poehler on the fiftieth anniversary of the
45
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.319
show proper musical guest role Model, and on the eighteenth,
46
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.280
Sabrina Carpenter will double up as both host and musical guest.
47
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.199
Some people are wondering if Taylor Swift is going to
48
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.039
make an appearance tonight. Here's the theories. She already has
49
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.879
done the Graham Norton Show, She's doing fallon on the
50
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.639
sixth for some inexplicable reason. She's going to do Seth
51
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.479
Meyers on the eighth. I mean, at that point, Taylor
52
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.199
do my podcast. Now Here are some of the clues.
53
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.639
Taylor Swift's official social media team, Taylor Nation, created quote
54
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.919
time Card of a Showgirl, which highlighted all her upcoming
55
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.120
late night appearances on a calendar, as well as the
56
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.479
theatrical release party of the Life of a show Girl yesterday.
57
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.000
But there's a blank space on October fourth, which is today.
58
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.000
There's a punch hole on a time card with one
59
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.639
word stand by. So that's not stand by, that's stand by.
60
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.919
Is that a hint of you might want to be
61
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
on the standby list for Saturday Night Live tonight. This
62
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.719
if it was stand by, that would be two words,
63
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.919
would it not? Oh? There is more. The punch card
64
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.080
suggests something might be happening around seven pm today on Saturday. Now,
65
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.680
you know what usually happens around seven pm on Saturday.
66
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.240
The Saturday Night Live standby line opens. You see what
67
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.879
we're doing here? Yeah? Now, bad Bunny, who's the host
68
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.080
of SNL tonight recently was in Happy Gilmour Too, that
69
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.080
awful Adam Sandler comedy. You know who else was in that?
70
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.919
Travis Kelcey, who is Taylor Swiss fiance? Do you see
71
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.039
this conspiracy?
72
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:56.319
Yes?
73
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.360
Now? A TikToker pointed out that an Instagram pro for
74
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.759
SNL released on October first features the voices of people
75
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.120
close to Taylor Swift. Some people think you can hear
76
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.400
Travis Kelsey's voice saying let's start the show. Others think
77
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.759
you can hear Selena Gomez saying get the host on
78
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.800
the stage for the monologue. And it also sounds like
79
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.240
Taylor herself maybe saying standby in the clip. The color
80
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.480
scheme in the SNL promo clip is a very tailor
81
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.120
swifty Orange. So we will see and I will tell
82
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.120
you about that on Monday, because I'm not staying up
83
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.160
to one in the morning to record Sunday's episode. Deadline
84
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.800
talk to a bunch of insiders about the various hirings
85
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.199
and firings at SNL and what it means for the show.
86
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.639
One source told Deadline, I think what you're seeing right
87
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.439
now is SNL operating in a new era. Is that
88
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.319
another clue where the talent has more of a voice
89
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.920
than ever before. In previous years, when you would hire
90
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.480
a cast member, it would be a total discovery. This year,
91
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.399
I think it's the first we're all for. The comedians
92
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.279
they've picked have fairly sizable, kind of ish, but dedicated
93
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.480
audiences they've already built on their own. Lorden Michaels at
94
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.720
the Emmy said the show was always people in from
95
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.399
different ages and different generations, and that's how it revives itself.
96
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.040
It's always hard when people leave, but there's a time
97
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.399
for that in our audience, as I've always stayed relatively young,
98
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.560
and more so now TikTok and change is good. The
99
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.399
people were bringing in. I'm really excited about the new
100
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.439
cast members. Jeremy Colehyne, described as an improv sketch comedian
101
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.759
in the traditional mold. Veronica Slowakowska. You may recognize her
102
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.040
from Shane Gillis's Tires show. She has a substantial following
103
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.360
on TikTok and Insta. Tommy Brennan was a twenty twenty
104
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.839
three just for Laughs new face. One source jokes that
105
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.560
he looks like every white dude, meaning he might be
106
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.279
in a lot of the everyman sketches. And Cam Patterson
107
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.199
you know him from Kill Tony regular appearances on Kill Tony.
108
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.519
Also Ben Marshall from the Please Don't Destroys he gets
109
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.920
bumped up. Insider say the hiring process at SNL all
110
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.120
started in August with showcases in LA New York and Chicago,
111
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.120
followed by screen tests and an unusually large round of
112
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.519
final meetings with Lorne Michaels, who met around ten comics.
113
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.480
A source compared the casting to a wide rather than
114
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.879
the usual clarity, saying it felt more like a Sports
115
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.959
League draft with I almost said al Michaels. Lorne Michaels
116
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.439
ultimately see al Michaels calls football. Did you see the
117
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.959
forty nine Ers win that game? I don't know how
118
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.199
they won that game? How did they win that game? Rams?
119
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.600
You had that three times. I'm a Niners fan, I
120
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.839
can't believe the Niners won that game. With Lorne Michaels
121
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.759
ultimately picking the best talent available on the board, Insiders
122
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.560
say Lorn was leaning away from hiring stand ups. One
123
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.920
said snl at one point was openly saying says he's
124
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.600
done hiring stand ups. He wants to take a break
125
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.120
from hiring stand ups. Another insider said, I must set
126
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.560
al Michaels again. Boy, Lorne Michaels. You know what, al
127
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.720
Michaels should take over Saturday Night Live for a year.
128
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.279
I would watch that. I'm not sure wre Lorne Michaels
129
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.040
would be good at Thursday Night Football, but I would
130
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.439
watch an al Old Michael's produce show. I like al Michaels.
131
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.519
He's very personable. Lorne Michaels and team have smartly covered
132
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.680
the bases in their casting for this season. The insider
133
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.639
says it makes sense to reach out to different circles
134
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.600
because if you're building a show for everyone, then you
135
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.240
pick me from every sort of comedy circle. They also
136
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.240
point out that Marcelo Hernandez who has broken out, particularly
137
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.720
with his Domingo character. Yes, his wonderful Domingo character. He's
138
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.000
really good at that. And the seventeen variants on that
139
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.639
exact same character that he does show me some range
140
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.519
tonight Marcelo. But they say Marcelo has broken out, even
141
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.079
if there have been some whiffs with newer talent. They
142
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.720
say the sheen is off a little bit. That Pete Davidson,
143
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.199
who will yesterday, was just at THERIODD Comedy Festival. His
144
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.600
father's called a nine to eleven. Pete was atriodd. He's
145
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.720
the last example of someone that quote everyone wanted a
146
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.079
piece of People coming off the show are not getting
147
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.439
propelled into the comedy sky in the same way. Things
148
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.360
are just different. They put their time and energy and
149
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.319
hard work, and the platform just doesn't have the same
150
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.079
weight that it used to. Insiders. Again, I think five
151
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.959
years ago, if you asked any young comic if they
152
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.399
wanted to go all out and make a tapes to
153
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.360
audition for us and l the automatic answer would be yes. Now,
154
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.639
it's a difficult process. It's obviously hard to get on
155
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.279
the show that I feel a lot of people are split.
156
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.879
David Simms in the Atlantic says, what could signal a
157
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.839
meaningful change are the show's newcomers. It's notable how me
158
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.759
new SNL cast members can now be evaluated by the
159
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.199
public thanks to the Internet and dopes in their basement
160
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.720
with podcasts. I don't think David said quite that, but
161
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.319
you know what I mean. For most of the show's existence,
162
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.439
Lauren Michaels and his team would gather folks from around
163
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.439
the country's most acclaimed improv troops and sketch comedy feeders,
164
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.040
Second City grand Ling's UCB. The SNL diehards would gather
165
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.519
information about the upcoming performers live acts. Most of this
166
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.480
year's editions have resumes that reflect the collective shift of
167
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.839
comedy production in recent years. They found their footing not
168
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.159
on stage but on podcasts, TikTok and streaming platforms. David

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.200
then breaks down the cast members we were ready did
170
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.639
that today and points out that Cam Patterson's most popular
171
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.840
material includes lots of tacit admiration for Trump and casual
172
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.440
use of slurs in front of guests. Until now, Lauren
173
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.759
Michaels has almost entirely avoided recruiting performers of that elk.
174
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.960
Perhaps he was discouraged by the firestorm that erupted after
175
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.159
he hired Shane Gillis. Six years later, Michael seems ready
176
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.840
to take another swipe but the hot stove. Kate mccannon
177
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:00.840
she was on Saturday Night Live for while and was
178
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.240
pretty good at it. She spoke to CBS News about
179
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.039
comedy in today's world. Kate McKinnon says, political sattire is
180
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.039
a very important part of a functioning society. I also
181
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.559
think that just goofiness and laughter are vital, not only art,
182
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.639
but in between people. It is healthy. And I think
183
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.240
just kindness and joy and laughter are such important things
184
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.759
and just the reason we're live. And so that's what
185
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.399
I like to bring to people. She misses SNL, but
186
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.039
I really love going to bed early, and that's what
187
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:25.919
I've been doing more of, and I really enjoy it.
188
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.600
I missed the people so much. I hear you that
189
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.720
forty nine ers gave the other night Johnny Mack was
190
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.519
up till eleven twenty on a school night. Are you crazy?
191
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.879
Carol Burnett has never hosted Saturday Night Live. Carol was
192
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.240
recently profiled in the New Yorker. I want to dive
193
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.240
in on that at some point it's been busy around
194
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.279
these parts. She was asked why she thinks Laurene Michaels
195
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.080
has never asked her to host Saturday Night Live. Here's
196
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.000
my question. Has al Michaels ever asked Carol Burnett to
197
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.960
be the guest analyst on Thursday Night Football? And if not,
198
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.120
why not? But I digress. Carol Burnett, asked about Lauren Michaels, said,
199
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.480
I don't know what I did upset that?
200
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:00.720
Man?
201
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.200
Do you think it's misogynistic? The New Yorker says, elm,
202
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.759
I'm leaving that in. I'm leaving it in. The New
203
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.399
Yorker said Lauren Michaels declined to comment. Response, I'm not
204
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.000
even doing a bit now. To be fair here, I
205
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.840
didn't think this was weird until someone brought it up,
206
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.799
meeting The New Yorker or Carol Burnette. So Carol Burnett
207
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.080
in her heyday. The Carol Burnett Show ran from nineteen
208
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.399
sixty seven to nineteen seventy eight on CBS, So okay,
209
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.240
it makes sense. I guess that Carol Burnett didn't host
210
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.360
Saturday Night Live those first few years when she had
211
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.840
her own show on CBS. Plus. Think of Carol Burnett
212
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.120
who's in her nineties now, as a different generation than
213
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.799
say Dan Ackroyd. So I don't think that's crazy that
214
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.600
they didn't have Carol Burnett host then. And then as
215
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.080
SNL became more establishment and programming, Carol Burnette really hasn't
216
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:52.960
been in the public eye, and so the last few
217
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.679
years when she started showing up on things like Better
218
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.919
Call Saul. I mean, we all love Carol Burnett. I
219
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.399
worked with Carol Burnette ten twelve, fifteen. I don't know
220
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.360
how long ago it is years We did a thing
221
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.039
at Sirius XAM when they were promoting a Carol Burnett
222
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.559
DVD box set Question work Anyway, I got to meet
223
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.960
miss Burnett and she was fantastic. Gamy Schumer hosted that.
224
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.679
I'm sure you can find some clips online somewhere. But
225
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.799
I don't think it's crazy that Carol Burnett never hosted SNL,
226
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.320
and I think it would be awesome if she hosted
227
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.039
it now, although she is in her nineties. Does Carol
228
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.159
Burnett want to do that? She says no, I don't
229
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.480
think I would maybe, like twenty years ago or whatever,
230
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.919
but that ship is sailed. Remember, mister Bill, you got
231
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.600
to be old to remember mister Bill. But if you're
232
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.360
old like me, you remember mister Bill and how awesome
233
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.080
mister Bill was. Mister Bill is back. Oh no, mister
234
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.840
Bill tonight at eleven thirty on YouTube. Interesting timing there,
235
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.879
I mean, guys, put it out at eleven. What are
236
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.960
you doing going head to head with SNL? This new
237
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.320
show is mister Bill's Saturday Night Mattene, a new weekly
238
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.200
variety show Tonight eleven thirty Eastern, hosted by mister Bill
239
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.600
from his cozy apartment in the Hollywood Hills. The new
240
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.200
series features restored public domain comedy clips reimagined in Bill Vision,
241
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.360
vintage commercials, surprise guests, and yes, the mister Bill classic
242
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.799
SNL shorts that started at all. Mister Bill started as
243
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.039
a no budget home movie sent in by Walter Williams.
