Is What Now? with Trevor Noah about to fall apart? PLUS more Shannon Sharpe comedy beef stuff!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.599
Callaroga, Shark Media, Matthew Valentine's
Day. Hi, I'm Jenny Mack with

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.679
a very very busy daily comedy news. Trevor Noah and Spotify have a little

3
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.519
thing. Remember at the Grammys,
Trevor made a joke about the music industry

4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.199
and royalties and took a shot at
Spotify, and I thought it was kind

5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.320
of curious that he did that.
Well, Semaphore writes, six months after

6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.520
they did a deal, the relationship
has already soured. Noah's team has discussed

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:41.560
renegotiating. We're altering his contract with
Spotify, possibly having Trevor opting out of

8
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.520
his minimum guarantee that's the amount he's
paid to produce a certain number of podcasts.

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.000
The issue Trevor wanted to bring on
newsy figures as guests. Spotify prefer

10
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.280
celebrity interviews. A spokesperson for Spotify
push back against Semafore, saying we're happy

11
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.240
with the show. We have no
news or any changes to share. I've

12
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.280
been doing this a long long time. This story wouldn't get out there.

13
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.159
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Something's up and I was looking at it.

14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.799
Trevor's podcast Yesterday was down to number
two forty seven overall. Let's se

15
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.319
where it is right now as I
record on Tuesday morning. Holy cow,

16
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.439
it is out of the top ranking
on of all podcasts. Oooo. On

17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.040
February eleventh at one o'clock on the
Apple Charts United States of America all podcasts,

18
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.640
it was number two forty seven.
Right now at around eleven o'clock on

19
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.840
Tuesday morning, it is not ranking
at all. Now. Generally what happens

20
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.400
is when you release a new episode, it spikes the charts a little bit.

21
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.840
That's part of the reason I release
every day. Let's see Trevor January

22
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.000
twenty fifth, Forever first and five
days ago, so he's scheduled to put

23
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.599
it on the fifteenth. So if
you look at the release cycle, we're

24
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.120
towards the end here. But being
out of the top charts that is,

25
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.359
it's embarrassing. I'll use the word
embarrassing, very shocking for Trevor. Noah.

26
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.079
Now, as I looked at it, I have been listening to some

27
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.400
episodes but not others. I particularly
loved of the Kevin Hard episode. But

28
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.319
last week they titled the episode Trevorn
Friends Batts at the Grammys. Trevor,

29
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.599
Ben Winston and Friends discussed the Grammys, and I just was like, Eh,

30
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.000
I don't know. I don't care
about the friends. I just want

31
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.960
to hear Trevor. John Stewart has
indeed returned as host of the Daily Show.

32
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:23.719
Let's listen. My name is Jon
Stuart. Now where was I.

33
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:30.800
I'm excited to be back. I'm
very excited spending see you guys. Why

34
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.280
am I back? You may be
asking yourselves it's a very reasonable question.

35
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.039
Uh, I have committed a lot
of crimes. From what I understand,

36
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.520
talk show hosts or granted immunity,
so it does doesn't make a lot of

37
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.080
sense, but take it up with
the founders. Later in the show,

38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.000
he anchored a bit that had the
correspondence Ronnie Chang, DOESI Lydich, Michael

39
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.639
Costa and d'lse Sloan reporting from a
diner. Jordan Klepper did a desk bit

40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.599
Jordan is hosting the rest of the
Week this week in John's list of topics

41
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.199
that they might talk about, when
he said, maybe we'll talk about China,

42
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.560
maybe we'll talk about AI. That
apparently a shot at Apple. Those

43
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.159
were two of the subjects that The
New York Times has created friction over at

44
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.639
the Problem. On Monday, John
Stewart was on CBS Mornings and said,

45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.479
I very much wanted to have some
kind of place to unload thoughts as we

46
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.199
get into this election season, and
I thought it was going to do it

47
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.439
over at they call it Apple TV
Plus and said they felt that they didn't

48
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.439
want me to say things that might
get me in trouble. I just thought,

49
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.759
who better to comment on this election
than someone who truly understands two aging

50
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.319
men past their prime. NPR reviewed
the show and saying John Stewart's daily show,

51
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.080
Red Turn, is so smooth,
it's like he never left Colbert had

52
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.960
on John Oliver. Oliver is making
the rounds. I don't know what he's

53
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.639
promoting. I guess the new season
of last Week. Tonight, he made

54
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.639
some cracks about Lionel Messi, which
I'll share with you because A they're funny

55
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.400
in B it allows me to promote
our podcast, The Messy Effect. On

56
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.400
The Messy Effect, we follow Liono
Messi, but like not so much the

57
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.159
soccer part the rest of it the
showbiz anyway, Here's John Oliver. Messi

58
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.280
was in a commercial. Yeah,
that was for non American citizens seeing Messi

59
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.759
though is oh wow, this really
wow, this is a big deal.

60
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.680
Messi's pretending he likes a drink for
you. Does he know how it is?

61
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.879
And I enjoy the drinks? What
was it for? I can't remember

62
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:23.639
the ultra Oh he doesn't drink Michelot. There's no way Lionel Messi drinks Michelope

63
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.319
ultra. I know we all saw
him on the beach. We all saw

64
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.240
take a swing at something. There
is no way. I wish Mickey was

65
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.839
here because I'd have him involved in
this as well. Lionel Messi does not

66
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:39.000
drink Michelope ultra fact. It truly
is a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

67
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.000
Adam Sandler will have a new comedy
special. It's directed by Josh Saftie,

68
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.879
who directed Uncut Gems. No dat
or details on that, but I mean

69
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.720
a new Adam Sandler special. Can't
wait. By the way, I wrote

70
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.319
the script for Saturday's upcoming episode where
I only say nice things about Adam Sandler

71
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.920
movies. I'm planning on doing that
on Saturday. I wrote the script.

72
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.399
I just have to voice it.
Now. Come fights Shannon Sharp, who

73
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.199
his podcast has become the hotbed of
comedians fighting with comedians. This is a

74
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:10.079
lot of fun and this got covered
by USA Today. Shannon Sharp may be

75
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.879
looking for comedian Mike Epps. On
Sunday's episode of The Nightcap podcast, Sharp

76
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.759
pointed to the camera and said to
Epps that Apps had lied when he said

77
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.000
Shannon Sharp reached out to him to
appear on the Club Chase Shay podcast.

78
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.360
Sharp said, now when I see
you, I'm going to see if you're

79
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.399
really about that say my name again. I got something for your expletive.

80
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.959
USA Today says. During a recent
stand up performance, Mike Apps joked that

81
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.199
he'd been approached by Sharp to come
on Club Schay Sheha and indicated that Sharp

82
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.759
is gay and appeared ready to sexually
assault comedian Kat Williams. During a January

83
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.079
interview, what the quote Apps is
saying? Shannon Sharp called me trying to

84
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.680
do an interview. No, Medea, I ain't doing no interview. So

85
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.759
you can sit across from me and
look at my testicles when I'm sitting down.

86
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.560
I thought he was going to attack
cat. The show was called Shay

87
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.959
Shay. The guy's telling you put
a wig on. Tell me if that

88
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.079
isn't Medea's sister, Sharp said,
say a little chokes, get you a

89
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.199
little laugh off, have fun,
but just don't lie say something when I

90
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.079
didn't. I'm to tell you what
somebody told me one time. What his

91
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.560
jokes to you is death to someone
else. Apparently, in a now deleted

92
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.240
post, Apps wrote, so many
people talk crazy about you, but now

93
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.879
you want to fight me. I
dmd you to get on the show because

94
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.560
you brought my name up when you
were sitting there with Cat and you were

95
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.920
trying to get him and talk crazy
about me, but he didn't. You

96
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.959
did look like Medea sitting there.
You was looking zesty. I'm not saying

97
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.920
you gay. You need to take
those tight shirts off with the muscles.

98
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.120
In a Twitter post on Monday,
Sharp said he and EPP's planned to meet

99
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.120
up and discuss this at this weekend's
NBA All Star Weekend in Indianapolis. Shannon

100
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.600
tweeted Unk and Mike Apps have decided
to have a man and man conversation in

101
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.199
India at NBA All Star Weekend to
discuss our differences. We both realized this

102
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.040
situation could have been should have been
handled differently. I apologize to family,

103
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.079
friends, loved ones, and my
fans. When he was recently on with

104
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.519
Shannon Sharp. She has now joined
Cat Williams tour see I Love all this

105
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.399
fighting. On Instagram, Monique says, I want to tell you about my

106
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.120
twin brother, Cat Williams. Baby. Guess what could be joining my brother

107
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.639
My twin brother Cat Williams on the
Dark Matter tour. From News one,

108
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.079
comedian David Lucas won't apologize for tasteless
jokes about George Floyd's police murder, they

109
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.720
report. During a performance at the
Funny Bone in Manchester, Connecticut, David

110
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.040
Lucas angered some audience members when he
made an insensitive remark about the twenty twenty

111
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.879
murder of George Floyd. Before making
the joke, Lucas had heckled a black

112
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.120
audience member who shouted that he was
a vulgar thing. During his routine.

113
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.560
The two traded insults back and forth
before the Floyd A related joke. I'm

114
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.759
not going to repeat the joke.
News One says. Later on in a

115
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.079
video, several black audience members could
be seen walking out of the venue,

116
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.519
visibly disgusted by Lucas's joke. According
to the report, instead of apologizing,

117
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.959
Lucas made another offensive joke, noting
how he was just warming up with his

118
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.560
joke about Floyd. On Instagram,
David Lucas has been seen promoting a few

119
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.959
upcoming shows and a comedy special.
He captioned a photo of himself holding a

120
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.879
fish. The caption read getting canceled
Ain't that bad? Meanwhile, I told

121
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.560
you yesterday about Paul Curry. This
from The Express to remind you. Paul

122
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.079
Curry came under fire for reportedly screaming
and a member of the audience who did

123
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.439
not join a standing ovation when Curry
pulled out a Palestinian flag. The Metropolitan

124
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.000
Police have confirmed they might investigate.
Soho theater bosses have apologized. Curry has

125
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.759
now posted a pro Palestine poster on
his Instagram with the caption I will not

126
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.639
quietly nor politely sit and make house
with the depravity of this killing machine.

127
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.879
And here's the unexpected twist. Express
Right. Since news of the alleged incident

128
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.240
the Soho Theater emerged, audience members
at a previous show in Australia claimed Curry

129
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.919
verbally abused that evicted them after they
refused to drink an unknown liquid. The

130
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.279
allegations say Curry claimed to try to
force the audience to drink from a glass,

131
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.399
which he said contained soy milk.
Found an article here from twenty sixteen

132
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.759
in Adelaide Now Daniel Purvis and his
female friend, who asked not to be

133
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.679
identified, said Curry had tried to
force a number of people to drink from

134
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.200
a glass. Purvoset he tried to
force the glass on my mouth, trying

135
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.360
to get it through my hands.
I found that to be quite shocking.

136
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.159
Then he pored what was left over
my head because I refused. I don't

137
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.279
know would drink from the glass.
This same article quotes Cassandra Toombs, operator

138
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.120
of the venue, who said that
she'd been told that Purvis and the friend

139
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.159
had been disrupting the show. Tomb
said they turned their chairs upside down,

140
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.399
they were just killing the whole show, and Paul asked them to leave.

141
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.080
That's the version I heard. As
for the current incident, the Soho Theater

142
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.120
told the Express, We're so sorry
and saddened by an incident that took place

143
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.080
at a venue, et cetera.
We take this very seriously and are looking

144
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.039
into detail of what happened as thoroughly, as sensitively and as quickly as we

145
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:30.480
can. Congratulations to keV Mudd,
who has crowned the UK pun Champion of

146
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.320
twenty twenty four at the Lester Comedy
Festival. His puns in the final included

147
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.759
I can't go to the toilet without
taking candles, I'm a party pooper some

148
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.279
more puns. I was at kids
party and they said there's an ice cream

149
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.480
man outside, but by the time
I got there, he had melted one

says, I wanted to write the kind

156
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.320
of book that I would have loved
reading when I was younger, when I

157
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.360
was eating a honeysuckle on the playground
and collecting bugs and falling in love with

158
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.039
the natural world. She said.

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.200
over the summer. It'll lair at
Christmas time, five years after the previous

special. I'm looking forward to this. Author Bill Zemi as a bio coming

00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.799
out chronicling Johnny Carson. Carson's fascinating. I've read a few bios of him.

164
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.960
Zemy was the last person I ever
interviewed Carson, back in two thousand

165
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.080
and two for an Esquire profile.
The project was sidetracked in twenty thirteen when

166
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.639
Zemy got cancer. He never got
back to the manuscript and passed away in

167
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.240
March of last year. The book
has now been completed by Mike Thomas,

168
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.639
who is Zemmy's longtime researcher and has
published his own book on Phil Hartman.
