00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.359
Hi there, I'm Johnnie Mack, who with your daily comedy
3
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.759
news at daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in
4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.600
the comedy industry, which is a sense that you might
5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.239
say if you were retraining the Spotify transcription algorithm. But
6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.440
we don't have time for that because Bert Kreischer is
7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.000
hosting New Year's Eve on CBS tonight. Social media star
8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.800
Haley Bailey will handle the East Coast celebrations. Then it's
9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.920
off to Nashville and Bert Krascher, who would do midnight
10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.640
Central Time. I will be asleep by then, but I'm
11
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.719
sure it'll be wonderful. Dusty Slay is also part of
12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.920
tonight's telecast. Some other things you could watch tonight On CNN,
13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.520
It's New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.479
Your guests include Stephen Colbert, Sarah Sherman, Leanne Morgan, and
15
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.799
bj Novak. Over on NBC, It's The Exciting Toast To
16
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.159
twenty twenty five. Guest appearances include Jim Gaffigan, Tom Poppa,
17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.000
Rob Riggle, and Wanda Sykes. If you're in Los Angeles,
18
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.480
Pretty Good Show at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood for
19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.200
New Year's Eve. Now, I saw an event Bright pushing
20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.920
tickets on Tuesday as I recorded this, so apparently this
21
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.599
is under sold. It's New Year's Eve with Nicky Glazer,
22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.079
Eliza Selessinger and Patton Oswalt. Actually it's called New Year's
23
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.760
Eve with Nicky Glazer, Eliza and Patton Oswalt. I assumed
24
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.040
it's Eliza's Lessinger, but it doesn't actually say that. It
25
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.959
says Nicky Glazer, Eliza, Patton Oswalt, Todd Glass and Moore
26
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.319
eighteen and up a two item minimum. Doors open at five.
27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.040
Parking is just three dollars with validation, and the listing
28
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.319
says line up always confirmed, but subject to change. I
29
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.799
wonder why we're keeping Eliza's last name a secret. Has
30
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.120
she rebranded and I missed it? Patton Oswalt, Nicky Glazer
31
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.040
and Eliza last name can't sell out on New Ye's Eve?
32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.920
That's odd. Ricky Gervais, he's got a new special ad
33
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.760
on Netflix. He says he would no longer make jokes
34
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.400
at the expense of disadvantage people and would do things
35
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.640
differently on the office. If you could go back in time.
36
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.000
Ricky was on Radio four and said people understand most
37
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.599
power struggles. They understand why racism, homophobian misogyny are wrong,
38
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.319
but they're very disparaging about the working classes. It's the
39
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.360
one thing that it seems to be fine to take
40
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.879
the mickey out of with no blowback at all. As
41
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.080
for the office, he would change things. He has no regrets.
42
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.599
He says, you're a product through your toime. You do
43
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.960
make things for people of your time. I'd put trigger
44
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.080
warnings on things, but I wouldn't go back and change anything.
45
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.159
Do I regret anything?
46
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:23.360
No?
47
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.879
What I do things differently now? Probably Ricky Special has
48
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.240
always create controversy. He told the one show most offense
49
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.400
comes from when people mistake the subject of a joke
50
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.360
with the actual target. So it starts and they go,
51
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:35.919
what's he going to say? And I tell the joke
52
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.599
and they laugh. It's like a parachute joke. It's scary,
53
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.680
but then you land and it's all okay. And I
54
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.479
think that's what comedy's for getting us over at taboo subjects.
55
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.439
They're not scary anymore. So I deal with everything. Did
56
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.759
you watch Ricky's Special on Netflix? Yet? I did not.
57
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.599
I had to watch USC football last night. Saving Ricky
58
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.639
for New Year's Eve, filmed at the London Palladium. Spoilers,
59
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.960
Ricky Gervais says, it's great to hear the sort of
60
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.199
laughter again because you probably don't notice it as much
61
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.520
as comedians. But we had a really weird ten years
62
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.759
where we're really second guessing jokes. People find anything offensive,
63
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.719
but we push back and we won so f them
64
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.680
until the next time. They haven't gone away, they're just
65
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.639
looking their wounds. They'll be back with something matter, But
66
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.159
remember who it is next time. Right. It's always these
67
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.879
sort of educated, middle class, privileged elitest sort of people
68
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.199
telling ordinary working class people what they can and can't
69
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.960
do and say and laugh, not realizing how important comedy
70
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.879
is to ordinary people. Ricky Gervais, who's just a regular
71
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.520
working class blow key, as an estimated net worth of
72
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.319
one hundred and seventy million dollars. You may recall he
73
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.159
co created the show The Office, which has had numerous
74
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.840
international adaptations, including one on NBC in the United States.
75
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.479
Ricky one time played the Hollywood Bowl and made one
76
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.199
point seventy five million dollars for that one performance. So
77
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.159
he's just a regular old working class guy. Ricky says,
78
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.080
there have been numerous attempts to get him canceled over
79
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.039
the past fifteen years, including from fellow comedians who criticize
80
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.759
him for punching down. Ricky says, they've always failed. I'm
81
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.199
too old now not to say what I want. I
82
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.520
want to say and do what I want all the time.
83
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.560
I want to do my favorite thing all the time.
84
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.560
He explains the rise of cancel CLD were saying there's
85
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.599
still two ways you can raise your status in society.
86
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.800
One be competent in something like, oh he's a good hunter,
87
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.479
go with him, He's good for the tribe. The other way,
88
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.360
you can raise your status to have virtue, like, oh
89
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.919
he's not a great hunter, but he's wiser kind of whatever.
90
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.639
And then with the advent of social media, people suddenly
91
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.840
discovered they could just say they were virtuous, no evidence,
92
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.360
no proof, just loads of flags in their bio. Ricky
93
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.439
says he is not going to attend the Golden Globes.
94
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.879
He says it's too far to go and I prefer
95
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.759
to stay at home with his girlfriend Jean and their cat. Ricky,
96
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.639
of course a notable former host of the Golden Globe's.
97
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.759
Other famous former hosts include Tina Fey and Amy Poehler,
98
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.240
and of course that one time Joe Coy hosted the
99
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.720
Golden Globes and told this awful, mean, horrible joke about
100
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:38.399
Taylor Swift.
101
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.800
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
102
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.160
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.
103
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.920
On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camber shots of
104
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.000
Taylor Swift. I swear it was just where to go
105
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:52.519
to here?
106
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.439
Sorry about that who unbelievably harsh, No wonder she gave
107
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.680
him the stare down. I mean, how could you even
108
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.040
Joe like that? After she walked through the room, arriving
109
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.959
late somehow and then distracting everybody as she walked from
110
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.879
the far side of the room to her table, and
111
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.879
then Joe Koy drew attention to her. Ugh um, cool
112
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.199
dude on Rob Shooter's substack, which tends to be a
113
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.399
little gossipy, not incorrect, but tends to be gossipy. I'm
114
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.600
just familiar with it because I write for the Palace
115
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.720
Intrigue podcast about the royal family and Shooter comments on
116
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.360
them a lot. It tends to be gossipy. He's saying,
117
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.600
Jimmy Kimmel's renewal is for one year and then Jimmy's
118
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.319
done it, said Jimmy signed the one year extension on purpose.
119
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.480
It wasn't advertised that way, but everybody at ABC knows
120
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.079
exactly what it means. This is his last lap. Full
121
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.560
stop Shooter says network executives want to give Kimmel a graceful,
122
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.720
celebratory exit after more than two decades of late night dominance.
123
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.120
Another sore says the audience has shifted to streaming, ratings
124
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.720
have changed. Jimmy knows its time. Internally, they're calling it
125
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.439
is good bye year. Everybody expect him to finish big.
126
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.639
That would leave the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon as
127
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.759
the last show standing. Everything old is new again. Now
128
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.079
I'm I'm not sure I believe this next port. You
129
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.279
know who Jimmy supposedly wants as his final guest. A
130
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.879
source said he thinks ending with Trump would be the
131
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.439
ultimate finale, one last laugh, one last headline. According to
132
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.240
ABC insiders, May twenty twenty seven will be the end
133
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.879
of Jimmy Kimmel's show. We'll see Sarah Sherman told people
134
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.199
that Bow and Yang liked her special and said this
135
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.360
is so you, Sherman said, you know what I mean,
136
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.879
that's all you could ever hope for is you've created
137
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.319
a project with all these amazing people who are also talented.
138
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.240
As for ESNL, it's a really intimate job. You get
139
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.279
to know people really, really well, but you're creating work
140
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.560
that fits a certain type of specific show, so sometimes
141
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.560
you don't get to see everybody's true artistic selves. You
142
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.000
know people inter personally pretty well, you know people's comedic
143
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.759
voices really well, but I don't know the extent sometimes
144
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.040
of people's full artistic visions. And so much of the
145
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.040
specials like I'm a living cartoon, and maybe that's a
146
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.879
little bit of what the Sarah Squirm character is. It's
147
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.959
like a living cartoon, but she's very much alive and
148
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.439
made of flush bones and skin and guts. And yeah,
149
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.120
that's another thing, the relatability of the special I'm talking
150
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.920
about things that everyone can relate to. I don't have
151
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.279
some gross disease that one center of the population has.
152
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.399
I have the gross disease of having too much body hair.
153
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.439
Tiffany had to stop midset and turned on the lights
154
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.040
at her recent comedy show. Tiffany shared a clip on Instagram.
155
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:12.959
She heard a woman in the crowd call out to her,
156
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.240
asking if her remember her. The woman yeeled out, I
157
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.519
don't know if you remember. My name is Colletta Lewis.
158
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.240
Tiffany went to the edge of the stage and said,
159
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.839
turn the lights on. Tiffany said, you saved my life.
160
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.879
I'm where I'm at right now because of you. Tiffany
161
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.120
said Lewis encouraged her and was among the first to
162
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.040
believe in her comedy career. Hattish said Lewis gave her
163
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.199
two choices for the summer after she was getting in
164
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.079
trouble at school. Those choices psychiatric therapy or the Laugh
165
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.000
Factory comedy camp. Tiffany said, Colletta, I am forever grateful
166
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:43.959
God made you and you never gave up on me.
167
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.560
Thank you. Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis were speaking on
168
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.639
the Joe Rogan Experience the discussion of the President of
169
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.199
the United States comments about Rob Reiner. Rogan said, the
170
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.959
Rob Reiner things not funny. Look, there's no justification for
171
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.959
what Trump did that makes any sense in a compassionate society.
172
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.519
It's no different than people that were celebrating when Charlie
173
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.800
Kirk got shot. It just shows you how crazy it
174
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.160
is the way Trump thinks and talks. It's just like
175
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.920
the guy got sliced up by his kid. You know,
176
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.160
anybody doesn't see that and go f man Cameil and
177
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.319
on Jehanny. I'm noticing on threads that he's getting frusted
178
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.519
by people. I don't think Kamil is all that popular
179
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.079
with the comedy community anyway. Kamail was on Caleb Hearn's
180
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.879
podcast and discussed the rumor, which I've never heard before.
181
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.439
But what do I know? My guy in a basement
182
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.120
recording a podcast. Apparently there was a rumor that Kamail
183
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.279
and a Jihanny was having an affair with Michelle Obama.
184
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.440
Is this a rumor that everybody knows except me? Okay, fine,
185
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.799
I accept your premise. Anyway, Camel, who was promoting a
186
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.279
comedy special, one out of his way to address this
187
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.919
rumor that he was having an affair with Michelle Obama
188
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.799
and said he's never met Michelle Obama. As for the rumor,
189
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.279
I was so excited. My friend, our mutual friend, pulled
190
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.399
Emily aside and was like, hey, I heard the Kamail
191
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.320
and Michelle Obama are like doing it. And she was like,
192
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.039
not even upset, but multiple people brought it up to me. So,
193
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.600
as the story goes, a mutual friend went up to
194
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.559
a couple and was like, Hey, I hear your husband
195
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.159
is shagging Michelle Obama? Like do you do that to
196
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.120
your friends? Is that a thing people do? Like you
197
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.679
go up to married couple and go, hey, I heard
198
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.440
your husband is shagging Jill Biden? Like is that something
199
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.440
that people do? Anyway? Come on, A Gianni confirms he
200
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.519
has never met Michelle Obama, which implies that they're not
201
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.279
having an affair. I don't know if you could have
202
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.440
an affair if you've never actually met. Not an expert
203
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.480
in such things. I'm not having an affair. I've never
204
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.320
had an affair. I've also never met Michelle Obama. I've
205
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.399
been on a phone call at Jill Biden, who I'm
206
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.039
not having an affair with. I just want to be clear.
207
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.240
And I really was on a phone call at Jill Biden.
208
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.519
I was producing an episode of a podcast called pod
209
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.440
is a Woman. You can find it somewhere. I digress.
210
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.759
Kanye West made an appearance at Dion Cole's comedy show
211
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.480
at the Hollywood Improv At that show, Kanye West revealed
212
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.679
he's working on a new album. Dean Cole shared the
213
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.600
moment on Instagram, captioning it about last night, what a
214
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.039
great time, laughter in love wins again Hollywood improv. In
215
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.000
the video, Dion Cole invites Kanye West of the stage
216
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.960
asked the crowd to give it up to a good friend.
217
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.120
Cole asked, you got anything we could look out for?
218
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.840
New music? No shirts, sweaters, some boots. Kanie West said,
219
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.159
new album, which drew applause from the audience. And that
220
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.480
is your comedy news light as it was for today.
221
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.000
I will see you tomorrow. Oh, Happy New Year, have
222
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.200
a great night. I'll see you tomorrow.
