1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.759
Jim Gaffigan told People Magazine it was
a huge mistake, and no, Jim

3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.640
wasn't talking about his bourbon videos.
No, he wasn't talking about that.

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.199
All. He was joking about living
in New York City with his family of

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.760
seven. Jim says that his five
children enjoyed growing up in New York,

6
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.640
but says New York has changed.
And with this, I agree with Jim

7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.439
Gaffigan who said it's different, because
now I'd love to walk a block in

8
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.280
New York City and not smell weed. You know what I mean, Jim,

9
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.880
I know what you mean. New
York City in the olden times,

10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.640
I couldn't stand the cigarette smoke.
I don't smoke, and they would have

11
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.280
no smoking in the building laws,
and the smokers would stand at the doorway

12
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.840
of the building you were trying to
enter. I couldn't get to work without

13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.439
being covered in smoke and complained of
the building. They didn't give a whot.

14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.439
You'd walk down the street, some
idiot in front of you would start

15
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.280
blowing smoke into the air. You
get covered with So I hated New York

16
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.480
City cigarette smoke. But once they
decriminalized weed New York City reeks, that's

17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.799
not why you're here. Stop branding. Jim Gaffigan said, when you're in

18
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.319
your twenties, you're like, yeah, there should be no rules, and

19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.959
then when you're a parent, you're
like, hey, maybe not every block.

20
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.000
And of course I live in the
East Village, so I'm kind of

21
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.680
asking for it. Neil Brennan was
asked if he's nice. He said,

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.239
yes, but I'm also not that
popular, you know what I mean.

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.560
I'm sure there's people that have some
story about me that I'll read the story

24
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.200
and go like that didn't happen.
But whatever, I'm approaching it from a

25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.959
view of like, what are you
talking about? When did that become the

26
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.799
expectation. Meanwhile, everyone's got an
iPhone and Steve Jobs was the biggest piece

27
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.319
of crap apparently work with, So
where's the outrage. Neil apparently was accused

28
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.319
of being up twenty four to seven
texting comedians like Mike Birbiglia. That was

29
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.519
said on Burbig's podcast. Neil said, Ah, yeah, I heard those

30
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.439
naughty people climbed that up a little
say that Look they've gotten their final front

31
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.879
line recommendation for me won't happen again, fellas, won't be making that mistake

32
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.840
again. I'll keep it for myself. He laughs. Yes, I don't

33
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:01.439
have children, and I like sharing
the wealth of media. I get to

34
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.040
ingest as a single man. Well, I guess I have a girlfriend,

35
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.240
but I don't have children. Neil's
point is when he finds something funny,

36
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.400
he wants to share it. Conan
O'Brien was asked by the Hollood Reporter between

37
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.560
SNL and Late Night, you worked
with Lorne Michaels for twenty three years.

38
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.159
Do you think lorn is going to
retire? Conan said, if you took

39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.439
an X ray of Lorne Michaels,
you would see SNL in his bone marrow.

40
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.520
I just don't see it happening,
and I don't think anyone's anxious for

41
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.120
him to go anywhere. When FDR
suddenly died in April from nineteen forty five

42
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.319
had been president for thirteen years,
there was a whole generation that only knew

43
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.439
him. Lorn is the FDR of
comedy retiring to his Blueberry form. I'm

44
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.240
not buying it now. My take
on this is next year is the fiftieth

45
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.840
anniversary. Nice round number, and
Lorne Michaels will be eighty. Nice round

46
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.360
number. If you're not gonna get
out, then you know, I don't

47
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.599
know. Do you do fifty two
years and retired eighty two? Maybe you

48
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.479
get out take the victory lap,
pass the Batona, Tina Fey or Seth

49
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.639
Myers, whoever's going to take over
this thing. It seems like a great

50
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.439
time to get out. New gig
for Gaba Glacie. This starts today.

51
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.719
He's the host of WWE Rivals.
You'll find this on A and E.

52
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:12.599
Rivals is a roundtable discussion series of
world a Wrestling Entertainment's greatest rivalries. Eight

53
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.719
o'clock tonight, Christina p spoke to
people about her experience with ozimpic, you

54
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:22.240
know the drug that people are using
to lose some weight. She said her

55
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.360
doctor raised her dosage, but she
accidentally took too much. As she tells

56
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.560
the story, the doctor goes,
you know what, since you ate right

57
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.599
through it last time, I'm going
to start you on a higher dose.

58
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.520
And I'm like, all right,
fair enough, I'm a pig. Christina

59
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.879
said. The doctor instructed her to
start at ten units, which she said

60
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.360
sounds like a lot. I hadn't
been on in a minute. I'm going

61
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.080
to dial it back to five units. She gave herself the injection, joined

62
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.360
her friends for dinner and said,
dude, I can't even eat. I

63
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.639
feel nauseous. I can't even eat
this bread. My mouth is dry.

64
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.080
I feel like I'm gonna throw up. In the middle of the night,

65
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.840
I did. I was super nauseous. I'm like, this is working this

66
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.560
time. I'm down like three pounds. Then she was hanging out with a

67
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.439
friend of hers who was a nurse. The nurse was like, how much

68
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.960
did you take? Christina says five
units, and the nurse looks at it

69
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.360
and goes, Christina, you took
fifty units. That's enough for a five

70
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:12.479
hundred pound man. Christina's reaction,
Well it worked. Eliza Slessinger is taping

71
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.399
her first comedy special for Amazon Prime
Video. It won't be taped until November

72
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.279
and the premier date will be scheduled
after that. Slessinger will also kick off

73
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.920
a tour called the Get Ready Tour
in August. Somebody had to finish off

74
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.920
a press release, so they went
with as the voice of the elder millennial.

75
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.519
She brings back her familiar, physical, fast paced style, peppered with

76
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.399
characters, animals, and insights from
stripperhels to gorilla wives to a lesson for

77
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.560
gen Z. This brand new hour
is her best work yet? Is it

78
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.199
because you didn't tape it yet?
Maybe it's not. Could we tape it

79
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.480
before we declare it her best work
yet? Camilnn Gianni will give the keynote

80
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:54.120
address at the Senior Convocation at Cornell
this coming up on May twenty third.

81
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.319
To some press person got involved because
Kamil is credited as actor, comedian,

82
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.800
producer, and Oscar nomine screenwriter who
has starred in Marvel Studios Eternals and in

83
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.600
the Hulu miniseries Welcome to Chippendale's is
also comedian. I mean, I guess

84
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.279
one of these students, who is
the chair of the committee said, as

85
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.040
a committee, we shortlisted values that
we were looking for to speaker, wholesome,

86
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.319
empathetic, resilient, dynamic, and
trailblazing. Kamil was one of a

87
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.120
few dozen names we had flagged.
I guess the price was right. Festivals

88
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.000
are off the board for a little
bit. Although if you're in Dubai,

89
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.199
a mere Czar has a show and
I like this title. It's called a

90
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.879
borderline Funny India Versus Pakistan, a
unique show that will bring together comics from

91
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.519
India and Pakistan on one stage for
a hilarious stand up comedy, improv and

92
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.839
roast. That is a clever idea
for the show. You'll find out at

93
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.920
the Roxy Cinemas at the Dubai Hills
Mall and I get to close that tab

94
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.800
now getting my browser back here.
Channel four in the UK has postponed making

95
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.000
another series of The Windsors. That
is a show that makes fun of the

96
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.519
British royal family. Now, if
you like things that make fun of the

97
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.759
British royal family, be sure to
check out Pallace Intrigue. That is a

98
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.519
podcast. I'm the writer on it. And you know, the Ky Middleton

99
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.680
thing is over and everybody's back to
making fun of Harry and Megan Magan has

100
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.160
a new jam out and that is
being brutalized by the tabloids and we've been

101
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.240
making fun of it. So that's
Palace Intrigue wherever he shows. But Channel

102
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.360
four is The Windsors on hold because
of the King's health and Kate's health.

103
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.600
They had announced a fourth series alongside
a feature length special to Mark King Charles

104
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.439
Coronation. The new series would have
focused on the younger generations with their majesties

105
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:41.079
away on tour. Part of the
complication there is the actress who played Queen

106
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.519
Camilla has passed away. They had
talked about possibly recasting the role. The

107
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.639
sitcom has run for twenty one episodes, including three specials, but like I

108
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.879
said, on hold for now.
British comedian Joe Lycett has revealed that he

109
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.920
has planted four fake stories in the
British media. He made them up,

110
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.279
but they were picked up and covered
by UK newspaper and TV. These stories

111
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:06.160
are a footballer soccer player suffering with
a bruise in the shape of Prince Harry,

112
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.199
a statue of h from UK pop
group Steps being erected in his Welsh

113
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.800
hometown, research showing that men from
Birmingham, which happens to be Joe Lycett's

114
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.319
hometown, are the largest endowed in
the UK. And a story about graffiti

115
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:26.240
artist Banksy creating a mural of Dorothy
from the Wizard of Oz. Last year,

116
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.959
he shreded what appeared to be ten
thousand pounds in a wood chipper in

117
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.959
protest of David Beckham's ambassador role at
the Football World Cup. That's some silly

118
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.000
fun for you. Oh my voice
is giving out. I didn't bring down

119
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.279
anything to drink, by the way. Oh that reminds me. I was

120
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.240
at the National Donut Shane and I
saw Evil bill Ingvall. I had wondered

121
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.879
what had been happening to Evil billing
Vall. I hadn't seen him in like

122
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.439
a month or so. He's back
and he's grown out as beard. But

123
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.120
now he doesn't look as evil.
Now he just looks like bill Ingvall with

124
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.279
a full beard. You know,
you gotta have the goatee to do the

125
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.480
evil thing. Anyway, I digress
us your comedy news for today, see

126
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:00.120
it tomorrow or
