00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.839
Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. As
3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.120
i'm recording, I'm texting back and forth with Mike Chisholm
4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.000
from The Letterman podcast. He apparently liked the al Michaels
5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.559
bit and it just got me thinking about how much
6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.640
I do like al Michaels. I defend him on Twitter
7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.679
every Thursday. People are like, he's so old. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,
8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.399
he's great. He knows how to call football. You're watching
9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.240
the game. You don't need somebody yelling and screaming. Do
10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.640
you watch Kevin Horland, who's great at basketball and I
11
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.000
love him on NBA two K Do you watch Kevin
12
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.359
Horland call football game and only does his yell and scream,
13
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.119
whereas al Michaels is just in the zone. I know
14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.719
this isn't why you're here, and I'm bringing all the rules.
15
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.759
I'm gonna tell about him Gafkins Bourbon set in a second.
16
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.479
But al Michaels remember the oj Knight and Captain Jenks
17
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.240
called in and pranked Peter Jennings. I can never think
18
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.119
of that and not laugh. So if you're not familiar
19
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.640
with the story, Peter Jennings is there, and he says, okay,
20
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.079
we have we have a eyewitness on the scene across
21
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.280
from oj Simpson's house. That's say, mister Robert Higgins, mister Higgins,
22
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.840
what do you see now? Captain Jenks went into a
23
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.239
character that I don't want to get canceled, so I'm
24
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.200
not going to do here.
25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.239
I'm just gonna ask everybody to be quiet for a moment.
26
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.879
We have on the phone with us as well, Robert Higgins,
27
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.280
who lives in the neighborhood and is on the ground
28
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.040
and can see inside the van. Mister Higgins, Oh, yes,
29
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:23.920
how are you?
30
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.799
But I'm watching this at home thinking how does Peter Jennings,
31
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.400
the ABC anchor, not know what is happening? Then and
32
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.959
then all of a sudden, you hear the voice of
33
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.159
God here, Peter, this is al Michaels. Lest anyone think
34
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.719
that is a real name. I forget exactly what he said.
35
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.239
That was a completely farcical call. Now, as the years
36
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.840
went on, al Michaels would go on Howard Stern, Billy
37
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.079
West would do al Michaels saying, that's a completely forcical call.
38
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.519
Al Michaels said, I've never used the word farcicle in
39
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.239
my life, but I know what was going on there.
40
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:57.719
The driveway of Oj Simpson's home in Redwood, clearly an
41
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.319
effort being made to him come out of the vehicle
42
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.159
in the doorway of the house. His friend Al Cowling Peter.
43
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.479
By the way, just for the record, this is Al Michaels.
44
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.759
So that was a totally farcical call. Lest anybody think
45
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.039
that that was somebody who was truly across the street
46
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.000
that was not. He said something in code at the
47
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.400
end that's indicative of the mentioning of the name of
48
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.560
a certain radio talk show.
49
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.080
Host as a producer. I just imagine myself in the
50
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.560
control room and the hotline ring. So the hot line
51
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.360
is a phone that you only use when you really
52
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.319
need to get through. Like you don't use the hotline
53
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.759
to be like, hey, what should we get for lunch?
54
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.280
The hot line is hey, there's a fake call on
55
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.639
the air, get it off now. It's used for that
56
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.360
kind of thing. It's the batphone. So I'm just picturing
57
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.520
you're in the control room and Al Michael's calls and
58
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.479
he's like, you gotta put me on the air right now,
59
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.439
and you're like, what did you not just see the ojchase?
60
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.039
Why does al Michaels have to be on the air
61
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.919
right now? Anyway, I have totally degressed and broken all
62
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.639
the rules and put a two and a half minute
63
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.759
roadblock at the top of the show. You're not supposed
64
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.319
to do. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Yeah, boy,
65
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.960
Jim Gaffigan, it's today the Bourbon set. We've been looking
66
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.000
forward to this four months, over four shows, Jim Gaffigan
67
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.520
will debut an all new set of Bourbon and whiskey
68
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.080
inspire stand up. You might still be able to get
69
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.520
in because on Monday morning, Jim Gaffigan post it on
70
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.120
Threads the tickets were still available. So I don't know
71
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.879
if the bourbon demand is quite there for Jim gaffigan
72
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.759
bourbon theme sets, but he's doing four of them to
73
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.599
tonight two Thursday, seven and nine thirty. It's at the
74
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.639
Kentucky Center baum Hart Theater, you know, the one on
75
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.439
five oh one West Main Street. Yeah. Now, what he's
76
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.400
really pushing is this really cool after party on Thursday.
77
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.039
That's right. If you've got tickets to the nine to
78
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.919
thirty show, not only do you get a Jim Gaffigan
79
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.080
bourbon themed comedy set. You get exclusive access to the
80
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.759
official after party. The party will feature sponsored bourbon pores,
81
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.680
light bites, and of course, Jim Gaffigan. That after party
82
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.080
doesn't starts eleven pm. So as much as I love
83
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.199
Jim gaffigan bourbon jokes and bourbon, I mean you want
84
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.800
me to start a party at eleven o'clock on a
85
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.240
school night? Are you crazy?
86
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:11.039
So?
87
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.680
Uh, this next part here, I'm not doing a bit, okay,
88
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.039
So let me get the little out of my voice.
89
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.199
I'm just trying to have a fun. It's just a
90
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:17.720
fun little podcast. But let me get to us for
91
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.680
a second. Over the weekend, John Marcos Saraisi posted a
92
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.720
picture with Jim Gaffigan. Now, I would describe John Marcos
93
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.000
Sarraisi as wiry. If you've seen his comedy special, you
94
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.879
know he's not a big, fat, stocky guy like me.
95
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.319
He's wiry. Anyway, He's in a picture with Jim Gaffigan,
96
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.639
who has said he lost weight using joo. Jim's looking
97
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.600
really thit not like, hey, you lost a lot of weight,
98
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.279
You look good like he's past that. Now. I hope
99
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.240
he's okay. I'm not doing a bit. I'm not trying
100
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.639
to be a jerk hole. But when You're standing next
101
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.759
to John Marco and I'm like you look really thin,
102
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.279
I go, huh, so, I hope everything's okay. There stories
103
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.000
I hadn't got to Nate Brigetzie. Remember the Emmys and
104
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.040
then Jimmy Kimmel got suspended and then we all went
105
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.639
to the Riod Comedy Festival wholl All. Before that, the
106
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.279
story was Naperghetzy tanked on the Emmys. Remember that bit.
107
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.160
Nate on his podcast said he wasn't trying to put
108
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.360
anybody on the spot. I was trying to have a
109
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.279
very giving night. He said he had no ill intent
110
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.959
while planning it out. Well, then, dude, you didn't think
111
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.920
about this at all, Nate said. Reviews did not like
112
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.000
the boys and Girls Club thing, despite it coming from
113
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.519
a real place of heart. In my head, I wasn't
114
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.160
trying to put anybody in spot. I wasn't trying to
115
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.240
make someone donate money. But in my head I kind
116
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.439
of thought, like, make it fun. We're not using the
117
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.959
charities a tool. They asked you to come up with
118
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.879
a way to make everybody go shorter on their speeches.
119
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.959
First of all, why are we trying to go shorter
120
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.920
on their speeches? Like what are we trying to get
121
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.040
to at this point the Sunday night eleven o'clock news.
122
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.240
Who cares? We all have phones? Like what is the race?
123
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.399
Or start the show earlier if you're worried about it
124
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.839
going too late, Nate said, comics, I don't think I'll
125
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.759
get to ask that going shorter, because I'll try to
126
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.519
find a solution. He said, CBS was very happy with
127
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.240
the bit. I think people at home were very happy
128
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.399
they watched it. No, we weren't. I wasn't trying to
129
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.519
overshadow any of their speeches, but yeah, you know some
130
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.160
of these people, well, you work your whole career, you
131
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.879
finally get recognized. You just want to thank your family
132
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.600
and the people you worked with hard, and like, why
133
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.360
are we running a clock? I get we don't want
134
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.519
the seven minutes speeches about issues of the day. I
135
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.720
get that. But if you're up there and you're like, hey,
136
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.439
I just want to think my wife's just been really
137
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.680
great these last thirty years, and my kids are fantastic,
138
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.839
and you know the rest of the crew here, let
139
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.360
people do that. Nate explained on his podcast, he thought
140
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.759
that the shows that won, or Netflix or Apple would
141
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.319
donate the money. It's not like I was expecting that kid,
142
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.000
meaning adolescent star Owen Cooper, who was fantastic in his speech.
143
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.000
I think he's fifteen. I mean that show was great.
144
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.000
He's great, but his speech was fantastic. I wasn't expecting
145
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.160
that kid to give money. In my head, I pictured
146
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.879
as they could speak long but then be a hero,
147
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.600
so it was a win win. Then the night becomes
148
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.560
about love and you're giving to these kids that are
149
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.160
there and all the stuff. I don't know if I
150
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.879
just didn't explain enough in the room. I had it
151
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.480
in my head one way, it came out another way.
152
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.680
But the reasoning was there. I wasn't gonna give that
153
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.399
money at the end. I wasn't thinking I was going
154
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.639
to have it, But the way it went, it was like,
155
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.079
I can't. I wonder if they'll have him back. So
156
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.360
friend of the show Jason Zinniman pointed out the ratings
157
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.959
were up, but I don't know. I feel like that's
158
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.839
a jokoy one and done. I can't see rolling him
159
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.959
back out. David Letterman, Yes, I'm finally getting to a
160
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.279
David Letterman story. Because all the crazy news has calmed down,
161
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.759
he has announced his next guest on My Next Guest
162
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.279
needs no introduction. He's already taped it at New York University.
163
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.759
It is with the great, great dramatic actor Adam Sandler, hopefully.
164
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.800
Letterman asked him a lot of questions about Adam's fine
165
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:34.360
dramatic films, Uncut, Gems, Space movie one about basketball, and
166
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.319
this upcoming Ja Kelly won that apparently Adam Sandler dramatic
167
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.079
actor is fantastica and I'm looking forward to hearing Dave
168
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.839
interview Adam Sandler about dramatic acting. No date yet for that.
169
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.439
It's scheduled to air later this year. Let me guess
170
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.040
Jay Kelly comes out December fifth, maybe around then. There
171
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.160
is a lot of Oscar buzz around dramatic actor Adam Sandler.
172
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.199
Sandler told people that's real cool. Nice of everybody to say.
173
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.839
I'm just happy I got to be in it. Sandler's
174
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.319
seems like a pretty cool guy. I mean, he addresses
175
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.759
worse than I do, and his attempts at comedy are terrible,
176
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.160
but he does seem like a really cool guy. Jimmie
177
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.199
Fallon had Taylor Swift on last night, we'll talk about that.
178
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.199
I did talk about Taylor Swift's new album on the
179
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.959
DCN eight bonus podcast on the feed on Apple Podcasts.
180
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.600
So I haven't done a DCN eight in a few
181
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.160
weeks because of all the regular bonus episodes. But anyway,
182
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.120
if you were a paid subscriber, and you can become
183
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.000
a paid subscriber by opening up the Apple podcast app
184
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.399
and clicking Uninterrupted Listening, and then for five bucks a month,
185
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.240
you'll get this show and then just about everything else
186
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.799
on the network commercial free. So you get five good
187
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.080
news stories which I host, you get that commercial free.
188
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.399
In Palace Intrigue and all the other stuff, the trivia show,
189
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.879
you get all that without ads. But also to show
190
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.559
my appreciation and to get some things out of my system,
191
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.200
I started this thing called DCN eight where it's me,
192
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.559
but I'm not talking about comedy, and I'm not putting
193
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.480
any rules on that. I'm not saying how long it is,
194
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.759
I'm not saying how often it comes out. Just if
195
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.159
you're pay subscriber, every now and then you get a
196
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.159
DC and eight, And there's a DC and eight in
197
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.399
the feed right now. Fallon was catching some crap last
198
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.639
week because he said he's keeping his head down during
199
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.000
all this political stuff. Fallon told CNBC, our show's never
200
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.360
really been that political. We hit both size equally. We
201
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.840
try to make everybody laugh. Our monologue has been the
202
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.039
same in doing since Johnny Carson was doing this night show.
203
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.240
So I really just keep my head down to make
204
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.120
sure the jokes aren't funny. We're trying to make the
205
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.360
best show we possibly can and entertain everybody. Fallon also
206
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.080
has that new show On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, a
207
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.200
reality competition series that puts ten creative minds of the
208
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.360
test as they craft real campaigns for real brands. Jimmy
209
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.600
Fallon said, we wanted everybody to get in on the action,
210
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.840
so NBC's doing cool thing. They're going to hold a
211
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.480
contest where you get to create an original design for
212
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.960
an on brand billboard. We've teamed up with Canva to
213
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.279
do this, so anyone can enter. The winner will get
214
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.039
their billboard on Sunset Boulevard in LA and win a
215
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.200
trip to New York City and two tickets to see
216
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.000
the Tonight Show. What if I win, I live in
217
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.679
New Jersey, I get a trip to New York City.
218
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.519
I try to avoid going to New York City, just
219
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.039
like I've tried to avoid talking about the Riodd Comedy
220
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.919
Festival for ten minutes or so, but times up. Bill
221
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:13.840
Maher criticized Dave Chappelle for Dave Chappelle's comments downplaying free
222
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.440
speech in America. This happened on Real Time with Bill Maher.
223
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.679
That was the episode Louis c K was on. Bill
224
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.960
Moore told c K Dave Chappelle was in the press
225
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.000
today saying you can speak more freely over here than
226
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.200
in America. C K said, I don't know if that's true.
227
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.919
Mar said, oh, it's not true. At the Read Comedy
228
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.720
Festival today, Jack Whitehall brings Polish, British banterer and gleeful
229
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.480
self mockery, sharpening stories with a quick snap. He's honed
230
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.279
on arena tours. Moa Maher is there. He'll discuss fatherhood, fame,
231
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.240
and identity with the same candid, culturally charged storytelling that
232
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:51.519
made him a household name. Expect brutally honest observations, unexpected tenderness,
233
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.000
and explosive punchlines delivered with charisma and bite. Interesting copy.
234
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.679
There and Wayne Brady, he brings quick fire improv and
235
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.360
music Comedy to the Rio Comedy Festival, challenging the fearless
236
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.960
energy that made him a multi hyphenate star. On whose
237
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.799
line is it anyway? Broadway and TV expect genre hopping
238
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.120
riffs and the kind of on the spots songcraft that
239
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.200
turn suggestions into showstoppers. Be careful, Wayne. So as I
