1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.679
Callarogus shark media. It's been up and down the last

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.560
couple of weeks in terms of how much news there is.

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:15.199
Today's pretty robust and Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your

4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.120
daily comedy news. The Oscars are going to need a host.

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.359
I saw my headline saying that neither Kimmel nor Mlaney

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.199
were going to host. I was like, ABC, why are

7
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.199
you being dumb? Kim will works great, leave it alone

8
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.879
for twenty five years. Well, apparently that decision was made

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.719
by Jimmy Kimmel. ABC asked Jimmy to host it. He's

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.679
already hosted it four times, including the last two years.

11
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.719
In recent years, Jimmy's talked about wanting more balance in

12
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.920
his life. For example, he's taken summers off on Jimmy Kimmelive.

13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.159
Good gig if you can get it, so okay. The

14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.520
obvious choice then John mullaney. Everybody's been talking about John

15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.079
mullaney and he had hosted the Governor's Award earlier this

16
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.000
year and he crushed it. So just ask John mullaney, right,

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.920
he'd be great. No. Previously, m'laney was asked if he

18
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.479
would consider hosting the Oscars and said sure, why not?

19
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.920
It would be really fun. It's hosting the Academy Awards.

20
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.679
Johnny Carson did that, but John mulaney has declined he

21
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.959
would have had to give up other opportunities, possibly a

22
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.959
stand up tour, possibly a Netflix late night show of sorts.

23
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.200
So they need a host. Why don't you go all

24
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.120
in and call Ricky Travay's that'd be amazing. Matt Rife

25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.000
is putting out a book. All right, time out. I'm

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.599
gonna comment here. I think Matt Rife is smart. Here's why.

27
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.239
I don't think Matt Rif's act has a shelf life.

28
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.760
I think he's a shooting star. So while it's hot,

29
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.439
floor it play a million shows, get every project you can.

30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.599
Put out a book. I know I'm being jerky, but

31
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.560
I've been doing this a while, and in five years

32
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.959
I don't see Matt Rife at the top of the

33
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.760
comedy game. The book is called Your Mom's Gonna Love Me.

34
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.840
It'll hit shelves this December. Rife's memoir details how he

35
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.760
rose to comedy fame before the age of thirty. Talks

36
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.239
about his upbringing in Ohio, his experience playing some of

37
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.319
comedy's most notable stages and his rap battles with x

38
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.519
cons all before finishing high school. He'll also detail his

39
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.920
experience with depression and his brushes with failure before he

40
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.760
found success. The book is described as one part memoir,

41
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.760
one part comedy special, and one part first date. Conan

42
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.800
O'Brien was up at the Newport Folk Festival on Sunday.

43
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.800
He did a music gig billed as Conan O'Brien and

44
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.240
Real Musicians that said at one point, try if the

45
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.800
insult comic Dog took the stage to built out a

46
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.879
Woody Guthrie inspired song about Conan O'Brien says Late nighter,

47
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.400
there was a thirteen song cover set. Conan was joined

48
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.479
on stage by Jack White, who came on at the

49
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.360
end of the set to perform twenty Flight Rock and

50
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.360
We're going to Be Friends. White told the crowd We're

51
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.639
going to do a song about a friendship before playing

52
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.360
the tune, which is the theme song to the Conan

53
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.879
O'Brien Needs a Friends podcast. Have you been watching the Olympics?

54
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.120
Are you watching the beach volleyball? I love the beach volleyball.

55
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.919
As you may have heard over the years, I do

56
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.599
play beach volleyball usually on Wednesdays. Now, we didn't make

57
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.960
the playoffs. We were in a twelve team league. We

58
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.680
finished twelfth, and of all the teams in the twelve

59
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.159
team league, we were the only team not to I'll

60
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.240
remind you I'm fifty four years old. At many of

61
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.240
my editors are not fifty four years old, so you know,

62
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.240
give it the old college try. We usually lose a

63
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.240
game like twenty five eighteen. Occasionally we'll win one, and

64
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.560
each match is best of three, and we didn't win

65
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.439
any so this week we're not in the playoffs. So

66
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.199
I'll be at the bar playing trivia tonight. Hi trivia, guys,

67
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.400
And if you want to buy my friend Glenna beer,

68
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.680
go to buy me a coffee. Dot com Slash Daily

69
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.000
Comedy News. Throw five bucks in the tip jar, and

70
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.520
I'll buy Glenn five sevens of a beer. Wow. I

71
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.080
am losing my voice already. I woke up this morning

72
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.919
and did not feel great, and I'm struggling here. The

73
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.759
row recording is five minutes and forty seconds in and

74
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.639
I can barely speak. Oh no, especially because I need

75
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.240
to record three episodes of five Good News Stories today.

76
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.719
I digress. Anyway, are you watching the Olympics, or you're

77
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.879
watching the beach Volleyball, or you're watching Team USA. There's

78
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.240
this woman. Every time I see her, my brain goes,

79
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.719
There's Amy Schumer. She looks like Amy Schumer. Have you

80
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.240
seen her? Anyway, I'm enjoying that. I'm not enjoying Colin Jost.

81
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.360
His appearances seem totally forced. He shared a photo of

82
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.919
his bloody toes and this might ruin my Wiki feet score,

83
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.120
but I just arrived in Tahiti for the Surfing Olympics

84
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.240
and the reef was excited to greet me. He then

85
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.439
gave an update on his foot, showing three of his

86
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.520
toes bandages and wrapped in thick medical gauze. Joe said,

87
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.919
you know what's going great when you've been in the

88
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.919
Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes. NBC

89
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.720
is using the Olympics to hype up SNL fifty. It's

90
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.000
the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live. We're gonna talk

91
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.160
a lot about that for the next ten months. Mike

92
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.480
Turrico was there with John mullaney, second Milleniey Story of

93
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.759
the Day. Mulaney said opening ceremony was great. Rub Schneider

94
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.199
disagrees to get to that a second, very egalitarian in

95
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.160
the sense that there were billionaires and there were interns.

96
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.839
In a matter who you were. You were in a

97
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.639
clear smock getting rained on a bridge, Elon musk clear poncho, intern,

98
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.519
clear poncho. Late Nighter points out mulaney just happened to

99
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.839
have a story that involved SNL to tell. That's convenient.

100
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.240
Mullaney told Urico, one of my favorite memories is the

101
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.240
reason that I'm here at the Olympics with my friend Simon.

102
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.319
Simon and I were writers from about two thousand and

103
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.920
eight to twenty twelve, and Charles Barkley hosted. During the time,

104
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.240
you know, you'd meet the hope and you talk about sketches.

105
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.560
But this night we said, let's just ask him for stories.

106
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.519
Sparkley comes in our office, he takes up the whole

107
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.319
couch and we say, what was the dream Team like

108
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.319
in ninety two? And he says, boys, have you ever

109
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.240
been to the Olympics? And we said no, and he goes,

110
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.120
if you ever get the chance to go, do it.

111
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.079
So this is why when I got a chance to

112
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.199
come to the Olympics, I called my friend Simon and said,

113
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.360
we gotta do it. That story's convenient, Rob Schneider, he's

114
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.959
boycotting the Olympics. He did not like the opening ceremonies.

115
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.680
You may have seen the thing that some people felt

116
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.800
was making fun of the Last Supper. On Twitter, Rob

117
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.000
Schneider wrote, I am sorry to say to all the

118
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.759
world's greatest athletes, I wish you all the best, but

119
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.480
I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly

120
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.079
celebrates Satan. I sincerely hope these Olympics get the same

121
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.920
amount of viewers as c SPAN. Luckily, he tagged both

122
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.519
at Olympics and at Sea Span in the tweet. In

123
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.560
another tweet, Schneider included a photo from the drag performance

124
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.040
and wrote, guys with their genitalia hanging out in front

125
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.240
of children drag queens. I wasn't sure if I was

126
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.399
watching the at Olympics or if I was watching a

127
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.839
school board meeting. You can almost hear the rim shot there, right,

128
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.199
You could almost hear it. Anyway, Rob, You're missing some

129
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.560
great beach volleyball from the eight hundred pound gorilla. This

130
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.319
one's a little weird to me. Rob Mcalenny, you know him,

131
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.240
as mac on It's always Sonny in Philadelphia and Guy

132
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.519
then hangs out with Ryan Reynolds. Well. He has taken

133
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.720
over Dynasty Typewriter in LA on Wednesdays for the More

134
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.439
Better Comedy showcase. More Better is his production company, The

135
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.160
eight hundred Pound Gorilla, says the inaugural show, hosted by

136
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.800
Mecky Leaper, would be a hilarious night of stand up

137
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.600
comedy featuring the comedians Leaper, Blair Soochi, Vennie Thomas, Moe Welch,

138
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.639
Kieran Dale, Alup Noll and a special guest were promised

139
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.240
endless laughs and wild card surprises, more entertaining than any

140
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.519
Patty's pub Shenanigan's, and if you're not in LA, you

141
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.480
can live stream the show from home. Ego Nuotam is

142
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.319
starting a podcast. It's called Thanks Dad, an interview style show.

143
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.160
Good to see celebrities interviewing people. We don't have enough

144
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.000
of those podcasts. You'll invite guests on to be a boy.

145
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.160
I'm caddy today boy for what she's calling her Ivan

146
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.279
Caddy a lot lately, what she's calling her dad for

147
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.879
the day. She'll have thoughtful and funny conversations about their

148
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.000
experiences with fatherhood and solicit advice on practical dad centered matters.

149
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.399
She tells the Hollywood Reporter, I didn't have a relationship

150
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.399
with my dad. It doesn't bother me the way movies

151
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.040
and TV wanted to bother me. But I'm curious about it.

152
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.040
FAX has handed a series order to something called Snowflakes

153
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.480
and Ensemble comedy about quote a group of codependent housemates

154
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.680
trying to be good people despite being neither good nor people.

155
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.399
Yet that sounds like it's also Sonny in Philadelphia, No Yes,

156
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.680
Nick Curl. One of the producers of this one, Tim Allen,

157
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.600
is coming back to ABC his new sitcom Shifting Gears.

158
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.639
In Shifting Gears, Tim Allen plays the stubborn, widowed owner

159
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.720
of a car restoration shop whose daughter Riley You played

160
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.199
by Kat Dennings, moves back home with her teenage kids

161
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.600
to live with her dad and her brother, Nick Nick.

162
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.800
Will be recast after the pilot uh oh sorry. Nick

163
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.839
Nick now played by someone else, is described as a

164
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.120
game coder who put his life on hold to come

165
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.519
home and help his father at the shop. Is the

166
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.759
shop that busy? Can you not code games? From like

167
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.600
five pm to three in the morning, isn't that what

168
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.720
game coders do? Now, the game coders are going to

169
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.439
write me letters and be mad at me for making

170
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.279
fun of them. Sorry, everybody, I saw a note. Pete

171
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.600
Davidson has canceled his August ninth to Peak a gig.

172
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.160
I don't know why. No reason was given. Sometimes that

173
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.800
these things are for low ticket sales, and sometimes there

174
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:32.000
because you're Pete Davidson. We'll keep an eye on that tomorrow.

175
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.519
On this program, Jerney Gunderson is the executive director of

176
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.399
the National Comedy Center. She is my guest. It's definitely

177
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.000
gonna happen. We already recorded it unless I forget to

178
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.120
schedule it, but it exists. There's tape. I've heard it,

179
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.320
I've edited it. We're going to talk about the Lucille

180
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.399
Ball Comedy Festival and learn all about the museum. I

181
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.320
had a really great time talking to her. So that

182
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.039
is tomorrow's episode. Why are you not doing it on Saturday, John,

183
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.440
because the festival starts tomorrow. If I read it on Saturday,

184
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.600
would have missed half the festival already. So that's tomorrow's episode.

185
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.960
And that is your comedy news for today. If you're

186
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.320
a gamer and you can't stand me. Contacts are in

187
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.440
the show notes. Everybody else see you tomorrow.
