00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.720
Caalarokas Shark Media. Hey man, Johnny Mack with your Bailey
2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.160
Comedy News. Pretty busy one for a Sunday with a
3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.280
couple of new specials out and people doing press tours.
4
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.600
But the big news today the voice of Millhouse is retiring.
5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.960
You gotta watch the Simpsons tonight. Yeah, the Simpsons is
6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.079
still on, so they say, Hamla. Hayden has voiced various characters,
7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.719
including Millhouse for thirty five years, is retiring. Hayden's final
8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.960
episode is tonight. Treasa R Presents Simpson's Wicked. This Way
9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.759
comes in Simpsons Wicked. This Way comes A tattooed man
10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.840
at a mysterious night circus transports Lisa into three strange
11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.280
stories from Ninas in nineteen fifties, the chilling retro present,
12
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.600
and a brutalist future where prestige TV rules the world.
13
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.000
I think I could safely say after thirty five years,
14
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.280
Lisa centric episodes are the worst ones. Have you ever watched?
15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.759
The Simpsons? Has been like, oh good, it's about Lisa. Yeah?
16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.600
Have Hayden is now seventy years old and says the
17
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.400
time has come for me to hang up my microphone.
18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.879
But how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons, not easily.
19
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.280
It's been an honor and joyed I've worked on such
20
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.840
a funny, witty and groundbreaking show and given voice to
21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.200
Millhouse and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Jeanie Malibu, Stacey and
22
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.879
many others. Here's to everybody who made this terrific ride
23
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.799
I've been on Possible Thanks for thirty five years. Be well, unhappy,
24
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.599
my best to all ups. I'll always have a special
25
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.239
place in my heart for that blue haired ten year
26
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.159
old boy with glasses. It is unclear to me what
27
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.680
will happen to the character of Millhouse. Will someone else's
28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.519
voice Millhouse? Will Millhouse just disappear? Who knows? The Simpsons
29
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.920
is in its thirty sixth season. The show curiously has
30
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.560
been yet to be renewed for season thirty seven, and
31
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.599
you have to work on animation in advance, so that
32
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.079
is very very interesting. Keep an eye on the Simpsons.
33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.640
Maybe they just want to drift off quietly into the night,
34
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.879
which is why earlier this season we had that quote
35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.439
unquote finale, which by the way, was the first episode
36
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.719
of The Simpsons I've watched in several years. I am
37
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.359
not at all anti s Simpsons. I considered it myself
38
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.439
a fan. I broke the habit. Back when we used DVRs.
39
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.560
What would happen was football would run over and you'd
40
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.919
get a recording of, you know, thirteen minutes of The
41
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.199
Simpsons and seventeen minutes of Terry Bradshaw. So I broke
42
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.680
the habit with the Simpsons and really never got back
43
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.599
into it. I thought I would when I had Disney
44
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.520
Plus for a while, and I didn't. And I don't know,
45
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.560
someday at the Nursing Home, I'm gonna watch those last
46
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.000
fifteen seasons of The Simpsons. We used to talk about
47
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.680
the Nursing Home back gets serious. When DVDs were in
48
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.800
their heyday, we would get screener copies of everything. I mean,
49
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.039
you got to see my closet. If something came out
50
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.960
between like two thousand and five and I don't know
51
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.120
twenty twelve or so, I have it so much stuff
52
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.360
would come in. It would be like, here's the complete
53
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.599
box set of six Feet Under. I don't really like
54
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.000
the show. Let me give it to Jeremy. I know
55
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:49.840
he likes it. Here you go, And I remember we
56
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.759
were staring at I think it was like Sanford and
57
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.800
Sun season four came in, and I'm like, I don't
58
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.840
know what to do with this. I'm never ever going
59
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.599
to have enough time. I'm like, even if I'm at
60
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.360
the nursing home. They're now now eight hundred hours of
61
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.039
Star Trek. At that time, I think there were six
62
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.400
Star Wars movies, and there's a lot more Star Wars now.
63
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.960
We now have five Indiana Jones movies. We now have
64
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.520
twenty five James Bond movies, and thirty six seasons of
65
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.759
The Simpsons, not to mention you know, everything else that
66
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.240
has ever come out. I could watch Gladi Eater again.
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.240
So I would never ever ever have time to get
68
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.319
to Sanford the Sun season four, So I don't even
69
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:26.919
know what happened to it. Actually I know what happened
70
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.800
to it. We used to donate a lot of things
71
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:33.520
to I don't tell anyone. So my mom was involved
72
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.159
with the veterans, and I would take all the stuff
73
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:41.599
that was hanging around and we would, through my mom,
74
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.240
send it overseas to active service members. And I remember
75
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.159
at one point the General wanted to send us a
76
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.759
thank you letter and I was like, no, no, no, no, no,
77
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:54.800
don't why. I'm like, because then somebody at the company
78
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.159
will ask, why are you giving all these DVDs away?
79
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.400
So we just did down the download. You need to
80
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.199
be thanked. Hopefully somebody over there enjoyed the hell out
81
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.560
of that rocky box that we sent over. I digress.
82
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.599
I thought this was interesting what you're hearing now? I
83
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.560
put together on Friday afternoon and Variety had an article
84
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.079
referring to Hulu's new comedy thing. You've heard me talk
85
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.879
about this, but they refer to it as the Hulu
86
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.879
Laughing Now brand, which will feature twelve new comedy specials.
87
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.279
So I asked the question, what happened to hilarious? Up
88
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.639
until yesterday? In my world Thursday, it was called hilarious Now.
89
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.759
I asked this question on threads and I see friend
90
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.800
of the Show Jason Zenneman from The New York Times,
91
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.240
who's awesome, as you know. I asked the question, what
92
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.680
happened to hilarious? I can't get anyone at Hulu to
93
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.240
interact with me, Jason said. I asked an exec who
94
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.519
came up with the name hilarious and still haven't gotten
95
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.879
an answer. Okay, Jason's Ineiman, Friend of the Show with
96
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:49.959
the New York Times I feel a lot better now.
97
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.399
Like you know, I can almost understand the Hulu publicist
98
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.800
not getting back to some idiot doing a podcast in
99
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.759
his basement. Like I kind of get it. I mean
100
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.959
I kind of don't because I have the right target
101
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.120
audience for who you're going for, So I get I'm
102
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.360
not Joe rogodw. It's the right people. But I mean,
103
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.279
if you're not getting back to Jason zidhim in front
104
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.879
of the show at the New York Times, come on Hulu.
105
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.160
So who knows? Now it's called Hulu laughing now, I
106
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.759
guess perhaps possibly, maybe it's not. You'd have to ask
107
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.759
someone at Hulu, because I don't know. I said I
108
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.920
was gonna do the rant again, but it's back. I'm sorry.
109
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.399
I apologize at least not playing the Joe Coy bit.
110
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.439
Scott Bennett Relax. Jim Gaffigan got the wax job, as
111
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.720
a former coworker used to call it. From The Hollywood
112
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.240
Reporter the Big Headline, Jim Gaffigan is finally invited to
113
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.920
the party. He told a new version of the how
114
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.720
did he get the part of Tim Wall's story? In
115
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.240
this version, once Steve Martin turned it down, Me and
116
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.839
some other doey Midwestern types were pitched on social media
117
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.040
because casting's now done by public referendum. But I've been
118
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:48.720
around long enough to know there are certain things you
119
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.639
just can't come and pay him for. So I stood back, right,
120
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.560
we've heard that version before. This seems to be new.
121
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.439
Then I got an acting job in the UK this
122
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.600
summer and my reps call the night before and say, hey,
123
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.439
so we've been kind of telling you that you've been
124
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.319
doing these estion of Tim Walls and funny messages to us.
125
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.120
I hadn't. I was like, are you saying that I
126
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.319
need to do some videos like that? So there I
127
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.959
was in my hotel and Leeds recording my impressions. It's
128
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.600
also secretive and you don't know if it's going to
129
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.360
get to these people. It's a total roll the dice,
130
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.120
but I knew how to do it. I mean, me
131
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.279
and Tim Walls, it's not that different. He just has
132
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.680
a brightness in him that I once had before I
133
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.800
lived in New York or worked in the entertainment industry
134
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.120
for so long. Holly Reporter, I assume yours and l
135
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.959
run was always going to be over at post election.
136
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.279
Jim contractually, I believe that was it, and I loved
137
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.000
everything about it. As a comedian, it was like getting
138
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.319
into Harvard for my graduate degree. But also I'm touring
139
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:34.720
and there are so many people to service in that
140
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.920
cold open. There were times I was like, I hope
141
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.040
Tim Wallas does something strange. I can have a bigger part,
142
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.560
which is a weird thing to hope for. Thhr your
143
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.120
career took off when David Letterman annoyed you on his
144
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.680
show What's the twenty twenty four equivalent? Jim said, it's
145
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.759
so fluid. Now there's a truly democratic element to stand
146
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.319
up today. It's not a total meritocracy, but there's something
147
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.680
about Sebastian Maniscalco selling out six Madison Square Garden shows
148
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.240
that's just undeniable. Theo Vaughn having that impact on the zeitgeist.
149
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.600
You can't deny that's stuff. And Nate Brigetzi, who did
150
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.959
it without podcasts? I guess, I mean Nate does have
151
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.519
a podcast, but I guess when I was coming up,
152
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.639
it was the Roseanne era. If you were a great comedian,
153
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.079
you became a sitcom star. Tim Allen Seinfeld. But now
154
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.000
stand up as an industry has just exploded. Beyond anyone's
155
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.439
wildest expectations. Getting long here, and we got a holiday
156
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.040
week coming up. Johnny Mack's gonna save the rest of
157
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.199
that article for a rainy day, and it's going to
158
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.120
rain this week. Vulture did a long piece with James Acaster.
159
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.519
I know a lot of the Vulture stuff is behind
160
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.000
a paywall, but ye might want to read the comments
161
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.319
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group Nudge Nudge,
162
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.079
Wink Winks say no more. Know what I mean? Know
163
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.680
what I mean? A caster said, the main thing with
164
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.519
this show was if I don't deal with the issue
165
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.240
that's making me so unhappy at work, I'm not gonna
166
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.759
be able to do any show after this. What I
167
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.079
wanted from it is what enabled me to just be
168
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.759
a comedian again. Vulter said the premise of your new
169
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.240
specials he can't get mad at people for heckling, and
170
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.360
practice and creating that rule keep you from getting angry internally.
171
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.879
James said there were definitely people heckling. He would still
172
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.439
be jerks, but the aim was I wouldn't get annoyed
173
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.160
anymore because none of us can go. I'm gonna make
174
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.120
sure I'll never get annoyed at work again, but not
175
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.959
crossing the line. If getting annoyed at them was really
176
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.519
important to me. And that's not saying no comic should
177
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.199
do that. I just don't think it seats my persona
178
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.519
or my show. There were a few heckles where I'd
179
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.319
be like, no, it's quite an obnoxious heckle. What I
180
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.839
found was if I don't get annoyed at those people
181
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.759
out loud, the audience nine times out of ten will
182
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.920
do it for me. I'm gonna edit on the fly
183
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.199
here is gonna tell you some more about Adam Ray.
184
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.480
But like I just said about Jim, it's gonna rain
185
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.759
this week. Save it for a rainy day. I was
186
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.200
teaching my college class on Thursday, and I almost quit
187
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.840
the class and quit doing a comedy podcast and just
188
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.519
decided to go live in a cave. I was telling
189
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.200
the students about the Jay Leno incident and one of
190
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.120
the college students said, who's Jay Leno? And I was like,
191
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.840
oh my god, like, you just saw me turn into
192
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.120
an old person on the fly there, I'm like, and
193
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.320
he saw me reacting. He goes, I'm twenty, I don't know.
194
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.600
And I qualified Jay Lenno as he's the guy who
195
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.279
hosted the Tonight Show before Jimmy Fallon. I know there's
196
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.919
an asterisk next to that, and I didn't want to
197
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.159
get into all that, but yep, he's the guy who
198
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.639
hosted the Tonight show before Jimmy Fallon. Do you feel old?
199
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.240
You feel old right now, don't you. Joy Behar said
200
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.960
people like the view because they tell the truth, unlike
201
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:21.000
Dragon Believer Joe Rogan. Apparently Joe did a show where
202
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.360
they talked about the possibility of dragons being real. Rogan
203
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.679
loved Peihar's comment and said, that's my new official ex
204
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.639
description And I looked, if you go to at Joe Rogan,
205
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.759
his description is dragon Believer. Love it. On Gossip Corner,
206
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.759
remember I told you the British papers were starting a
207
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:42.159
rumor about Pete Davidson. Well, Maria Georgia says not true.
208
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.000
She posted on Instagram to clear up some speculation that
209
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.480
she had dated Pete Davidson. She wrote, never dated Pete.
210
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.320
False rumor. I'm friends with his sister. Case closed. Then
211
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.960
in a second post, she said, Pete Davidson is not
212
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.840
in rehab and has been sober for months. Can't believe
213
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.360
that this stuff. It's very insulting to his recovery and
214
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.720
my mental health. He's literally home. All right, you listen
215
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.440
to me. I feel like the fawns here. I'm gonna
216
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.639
say something I never say. Listen to me. This is
217
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.480
very important because I'm an honest person with you. I
218
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.519
was wrong. I know right, Johnny Mack was wrong. I
219
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.399
was wrong. I apologize to the people that Have I
220
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.200
Got News for You. I had predicted it would end
221
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.320
after the election. I was wrong. It has been picked
222
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.960
up for a second season. Amyan Tellis is Executive vice
223
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.000
president of Talent, CNN Originals and Creative Development. In a statement,
224
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.879
she said, for its inaugural season, Have I Got News
225
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.759
for You has been a welcome and lively extension of
226
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.840
the CNN brand, and our viewers continue to show enthusiasm
227
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.960
for comic relief on Saturday nights. I like everyone associated
228
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.759
with the show. I'm happy for them. I was wrong.
229
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.080
Now that I was wrong. Let me make a prediction
230
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.039
about this. ESPN is giving a late night show to
231
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.799
Jason Kelsey. And here's where I'm gonna make another prediction.
232
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.000
You should light the money on fire instead. All right,
233
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.120
let's see how that one ages. This is going to
234
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.600
be called They call it Late Night with Jason Kelcey.
235
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.480
It will air on ESPN at one am during the
236
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.120
Friday slash Saturday overnight hours. So I assume that means,
237
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.960
you know, say it's eleven fifty nine on a Friday
238
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.000
night and you wait another sixty one minutes. I think
239
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.399
that's what they mean by that. I'll also stream on
240
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.519
ESPN Plus and on the ESPN and Jason kelce YouTube channels.
241
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.759
ESPN has picked up five episodes of the show, with
242
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.480
the last episodes slated for February first, which is probably
243
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.159
Super Bowl week. Great They call It Late Night will
