00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.199
Callaroga Shark Media. My, oh my, we're having some fun now. Hello,
2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.679
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I know
3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.359
I'm feeding your feed every ten minutes with stuff. On
4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.519
Monday after noon, just as I was editing this show,
5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.920
I got a text from my business partner, Mark Francis.
6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.000
He's like, Kimble's back tomorrow, and I'm like, oh good,
7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.159
because I have to teach In an hour. ABC announce
8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.880
that Jimmy Kimmel Alive is returning two nights after thoughtful
9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.759
conversations with parent company Disney. So here's the plan for today.
10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.560
You're about to get the normal Tuesday episode as I've
11
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.759
been doing. I've just been doing the normal stuff as
12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.840
their own regular episodes. Around noon today, assuming I actually
13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.920
got a chance to do the edit and a new opening,
14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.119
I have recorded an hour with Mark Malcoff, you know
15
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.799
him from the Inside Late Night podcast, which is back
16
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.119
today with a new episode. And he's got a book
17
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.119
coming out called Love Johnny Carson. So I asked him
18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.599
on to mainly talk about Carson, but we also said
19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.439
words like Fallon and Leno and Letterman and oh yeah,
20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.079
Kimmel and Colbert. We got into that too, so I
21
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.519
gotta put that out around noon. Now. Luckily, my spidy
22
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.280
sense must have been tingling, because at some point I
23
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.400
said something like Mark, I just want the audience to
24
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.879
know that it's like one pm on Monday as we're
25
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.000
recording this, because I have a feeling the news cycle
26
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.280
will change seven times between us recording this and me
27
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.680
actually publishing it. Johnny Mack was right, it's not dated
28
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.959
at all because we really were focused on the carson
29
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.000
of it all. But that's coming up around noon today,
30
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.640
and then I have to catch my breath and I'm
31
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.680
going to get out a Kimmel bonus episode later today.
32
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.239
I'm also scheduled to record with friend of the show,
33
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.519
Jason Zinneman from The New York Times, so I'll have
34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.519
to figure out how that slots into all of this,
35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.519
and you know, and then tomorrow on Wednesday, it'll be
36
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.680
super busy because I'll have to tell you what Jimmy
37
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.079
Kimmel said and all that. So plenty, plenty of stuff
38
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.840
coming up in this feed. And let me now just
39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.959
abruptly cut what I had said before the Kimble news broke,
40
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.640
and I was talking about Caleb Heern. Caleb Heron had
41
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.080
that new special. This was an HBO Max special. We'll
42
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.560
get back to that. He commented on why President Donald
43
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.639
Trump and other conservative Republicans are some of his favorite
44
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.800
straight guys. He says, because they hate gay people so
45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.520
much and they're such and then he used the F word,
46
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.919
not that F word, the other F word. Why did
47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.199
he go political in a special? Caleb said, because every
48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.919
day I feel e fing insane. These people in charge
49
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.919
are liars, They're evil, and I'm not scared of these mfors.
50
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.439
These right wing fascist freaks are trying to make a
51
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.000
Christo fascist government in the United States. Right now. I
52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.800
see right through them. They're weakend pathetic. I feel like
53
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.639
in the national conversation there's a lack of normal people
54
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.039
just telling the efing truth. So I did watch some
55
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.240
of the special on Sunday night between the main football
56
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.960
schedule and Sunday Night football. I was surprised this thing
57
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.759
made HBO Max. Now. I share this thought in the
58
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.560
Facebook group Daily Coming his podcast group. It might just
59
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.240
be that I live on old Man Mountain and I'm
60
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.360
always protective of brands, and I felt like this thing
61
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.879
airing on something with an HBO logo anywhere near it
62
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.560
it felt very below par. This looks like a YouTube special,
63
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.400
like you know, Caleb at the Chuckle Hut and just
64
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.439
thrown up on YouTube. It looks like one of those,
65
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.520
and that to me does not say HBO like if
66
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.360
I look at the recent Mark Maron special, visually, it
67
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.960
looks like something on par with a George Carland special
68
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.439
from thirty years ago. That in my old man brain
69
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.400
is what HBO comedy is. But I guess we live
70
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.520
in this era where between this whole HBOHBO Max, HBO
71
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.039
now Max Max plus, so all that and plus putting
72
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.680
the HBO shows on the same platform, on the same
73
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.599
level with Doctor Pimple Popper, They've watered down their brand.
74
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.080
And I think this is a great example of that
75
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.919
of this to me is not HBO comedy. Apparently it's
76
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.159
HBO Max common And I don't think the civilians understand that.
77
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.800
Surprise they this thing belongs on YouTube or maybe possibly hilarious,
78
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.639
but this is not an HBO special. The material is
79
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.719
also sea level. Cristella Alonso has a Netflix special out today.
80
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.279
She opens her hour with this joke. I'll spoil one
81
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.600
joke for you. I had to make sure I drank
82
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.160
some water room temperature because I hate ice, all right,
83
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.879
So that tells you where this special is coming from.
84
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.560
Coristella caught up with the La Times. Upper Classy is
85
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.399
the culmination of a trilogy of specials. Cristella explains it
86
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.360
started off as this random idea where I thought, what
87
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.480
if I did a trilogy and showed life as I progressed.
88
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.319
I got the idea because when I had my sitcom,
89
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.279
one of the biggest notes from the network, which was ABC, right,
90
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.199
if I'm remembering quickly, we're mad at them? This week
91
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.360
from the network in the studio was it has to
92
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.600
be about a sension. The family has to improve grow.
93
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.800
And I always thought, well, what does that mean in
94
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.600
your mind? What do you think making it means? Because
95
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.519
I can tell you that for my family, what making
96
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.199
it means was very simple. We have money to pay
97
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.480
the bills, but they're like no more and more, Well,
98
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.680
I don't know the more. I'm still here. So I
99
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.279
started thinking, what if in a weird way I document
100
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.759
the ascension of me coming into my life. Lower Classy
101
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.279
really was this is my bile, this is how my
102
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.879
mom was, this is how my family was, this is
103
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.720
how I'm doing I shot the first special in August
104
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.879
of twenty sixteen. Then the election happened, and I was
105
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.800
so depressed because I assume people were better than what
106
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.680
they turned out to be. I actually didn't know what
107
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.079
I was going to do, and I decided to take
108
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.920
a break from stand up and everything because I couldn't
109
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.800
mentally handle it and I didn't feel like being funny.
110
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.879
I didn't feel like being anything she talks about middle classy.
111
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.600
I started making a list of things that were different
112
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.480
from me, and I wrote health insurance, and that's when
113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.680
I realized I didn't know health insurance work. That's kind
114
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.839
of how middle classy started. Upper classy has a play
115
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.519
to it in two ways. Look at how rich I am.
116
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:38.959
You didn't think I was gonna be that rich because
117
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.399
of the story that I share. But also look at
118
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.639
the persona my family made me to be. Bert Kreischer
119
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.800
is going to star in a comedy movie called Homecoming.
120
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.600
In Homecoming, we follow divorced dad Bert. The character Bert
121
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.240
attends his college homecoming and an attempt to reconnect with
122
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.279
his eldest daughter, who attends is Alma matter. This sounds
123
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.800
like an Adam Saylor movie so far. When Bert arrives
124
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.480
on campus, he realizes his kids have parent trapped him
125
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.680
with his ex wife. From there, the weekend's focus turns
126
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.120
to competition to boscherus Mayhem, and perhaps a chance to
127
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.480
reunite his family. That actually doesn't sound horrible, but I'm
128
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.040
kind of surprised that doesn't star Adam Sandler and say
129
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.839
Sonny Sandler. Speaking of Adam Sandler, he was at the
130
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.360
Buffalo Sabers game before performing his comedy act. He met
131
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.079
some members of the Sabers. The team boasted on social
132
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.639
media do the guys think shampoo is better or conditioner?
133
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.240
They also posted a Sabers GoAhead jersey with Gilmour on
134
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.399
the back and a bandaged jersey with Sandman on the back.
135
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.720
Syracuse dot Com went to see an Adam Sandler comedy show.
136
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.040
Adam Sandler, as you know, is a fine dramatic actor.
137
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.120
He made several good movies, including uncut gems in the
138
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.600
Spaceman movie, in the Basketball One, and a lot of
139
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.160
terrible movies. Syracuse dot com tells us. On stage, dramatic
140
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.040
actor Adam Sandler told the audience he loves Syracuse and
141
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.680
share that he and his crew plan a head to
142
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.319
Dinosaur barbecue after the show. Earlier in the day, he
143
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.040
had visited the Carmelo Anthony Bastball Center, where he played
144
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.360
pick up basketball with the members of the SU men's
145
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.360
and women's basketball team. Sandler was dressed in his classic
146
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.480
oversized style, bright red track pants and a baggy pullover. Wow,
147
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.120
I'm actually dressed better than Adam Sandler. I have a
148
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.240
properly sized gray sweatshirt on that I got in California,
149
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.560
and my often worn gray sweatpants, and of course my
150
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.000
neon blue like Miami Dolphins blue. Hocus, those are sneakers.
151
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.959
I digress. At one point, the great dramatic actor Adam
152
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.279
Saandlor invited audience members up to the stage so we
153
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.040
could sing totally unstrue songs about them. Special guests Rob
154
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.959
Schneider and Kevin Neelan were the openers. Sunny Cortland alumnus
155
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.160
Kevin James got one of the biggest ovations when walked
156
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.600
on stage wearing a Syracuse lacrosse shirt. The local Syracusians
157
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.040
is that what you're called enjoy that, Syracuse dot Com
158
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.879
tells us. By the end of the night, Syracuse has
159
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.279
gotten more than a comedy performance. It was an evening
160
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.759
of laughter, nostalgia, and music, tied together with enough local
161
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.240
shoutouts to make the crowd feel like part of the act.
162
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.279
John almost forgot to do the Toronto Comedy Festival again.
163
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.639
Why don't you put Toronto in the scripts? John, because
164
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.800
John has been recording a lot of Jimmy Kimmel related stuff.
165
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.399
I have not had a minute to myself since last Monday.
166
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.040
Knock a playing. I'm just telling you why I don't
167
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.680
have this in the script. But I didn't forget. I
168
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.800
am having a lot of fun doing this. I'm pumping
169
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.519
out a lot of content for good reason or for
170
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.519
bad reason actually, but just having a lot of fun. Okay,
171
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.360
today is September twenty third. As I mentioned yesterday that
172
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.200
the new owners haven't done a great job with this website. Okay,
173
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.039
here we go, eight o'clock tonight. Matthew Brissard. He was
174
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.679
a guest on this show and I like him a lot.
175
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.480
He's fantastic. He's at the Bloor Blor Comedy Bar at
176
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.320
eight Sabrina Wu at eight thirty of the Dan Firth
177
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.000
Comedy Bar. One of the things I like about the
178
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.600
Toronto Comedy Festival, it's mostly bar scenes and you can hop.
179
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.879
I haven't checked, and I should know this. You know,
180
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.879
I only host the program. In the past they would
181
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.679
have like a bar hopper pass where you could just
182
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.360
go to a bunch of shows. Now I had media
183
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.279
credentials because I'm fancy, but it was a really good
184
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.600
deal and it's a great way to do the festival.
185
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.320
It's pretty quiet on a Tuesday that there's a couple
186
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.679
other things that you haven't heard of. That's what's happening
187
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.279
there tonight. If he needs something to watch on the
188
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.799
eight hundred Pound Guerrillas YouTube channel, Chris Gethard's The Father
189
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.440
and the Son. Got a lot of TV news that
190
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.960
I didn't get to, none of it having to do
191
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.720
with late night. Doctor Cox is back. John c McGinley
192
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.440
is joining the Scrubs revival, so I think they have
193
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.600
everybody now. I don't know if we have the Todd.
194
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.519
I don't know if the Todd is back, but we've
195
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.960
got JD and Turk Elliot's back. Haven't heard anything about
196
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.159
Neil Flynn as the janitor. I don't think. I mean,
197
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.519
Neil's got that modern family money right, he might not
198
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.919
need to work anymore. Neil Flynn might have like secret cash,
199
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.120
but I could see Neil Flynn showing up Carla's back,
200
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.519
and Doctor Kelso was played by Ken Jenkins Ken eighty
201
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.559
five years old now, so it wouldn't make any sense
202
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.879
for him to actually be on the show. But I
203
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.840
wouldn't be surprised if we check in with him at
204
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.879
one point. And the Todd. The Todd appears in one
205
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.159
hundred and twenty six episodes of Scrubs. Wow, we'll see
206
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.559
if he turns up. The paper is going to Proper NBC. Now.
207
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.759
I've been watching this thing. People keep asking about it.
208
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.840
It's not funny, but it's watchable. The main two characters
209
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.840
are likable. The secondary cast I think is actually subpar,
210
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.080
but the main two are charismatic enough that they're carrying
211
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.000
this show and it's something to have on while you're
212
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.240
playing on your phone, prepping your podcast, killing time until
213
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:46.000
Thursday night football starts. It's like, I think I like it.
214
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.200
I definitely don't love it. If it got canceled, I
215
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.279
would go on with my day. I guess what I'm
216
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.639
saying is it's better than I initially thought, but it
217
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.039
is not funny. But anyway, it's going to air on
218
00:10:55.120 --> 00:11:01.120
Proper NBC. Lisa Katz, who's the president of Scripted Programming Entertainment,
219
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.879
said in a statement, knowing how much The Office was
220
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.200
beloved by a broadcast audience when it aired on NBC,
221
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.679
we wanted to give the paper a similar opportunity to connect.
222
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.799
Then you should have put it on NBC in the
223
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.840
first place. One of the strengths of our company is
224
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.639
meeting fans where they are by delivering shows across multiple
225
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.600
platforms to maximize exposure and engagement. Translation, Oh, we saw
226
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.159
that people didn't hate this, so we're going to give
227
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.919
it a shot on NBC proper. The Paper will be
228
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.279
on NBC Monday nights. It'll be paired with Saint Dennis Medical.
229
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.799
I thought that was over. That's still going huh, all right,
230
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.720
maybe I'll check that show out too. Rain Wilson was
231
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.519
on the Last Laugh podcast. Is Dwight going to show
232
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.000
up on the Paper? Rain said, I don't think so.
233
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.240
I mean the paper set in Toledo and it's a newspaper.
234
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.519
I don't know why Dwight from Lakwana County would be
235
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.759
visiting Toledo. The answer would be, Rain Wilson needs a paycheck.
236
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.879
That would be the answer. So you're telling me, Rain Wilson,
237
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.559
you don't need a paycheck. Let me ask you a
238
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.000
really difficult question. Hey, Rain, we want to make you
239
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.080
the co lead of the paper. Don't worry about why
