Jo Koy gives himself an A+ for hosting the Golden Globes

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga Shark Media. I mentioned yesterday
I'm trying to get into a celebrity beef

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.679
with Taylor Swift, Pat McAfee or
Kat Williams, or perhaps all three.

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.800
I just asked the chat cheetpt to
write a joke about all three of them.

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.359
It's pretty good, and Hi,
I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.879
News. The joke, Taylor Swift, Pat McAfee, and Kat Williams walk

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.239
into a bar. Taylor says she'll
sink for their drinks. Bad offers to

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.079
commentate the performance, and Kat says
he'll add some punchlines. The bartender looks

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.920
at them and says that's nice,
But who's paying the tab? And Taylor

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.359
says, don't worry. We'll just
shake it off. You can icce me

10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.000
all you want, Taylor, just
make sure you get the podcast name right.

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.600
Some good jokes from Late Nights the
topic former President Donald Trump's civil fraud

12
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.159
trial. The judge had initially denied
Trump's request to speak during the closing arguments.

13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.679
Stephen Colbert said, but as twenty
seven women can tell you, Trump

14
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.280
doesn't take no for an answer.
Ouch. Another one from Fallon, Yeah,

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.079
the judge let Trump speak on the
condition that he sticked to the law

16
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.599
in facts, two things that people
on trial for fraud are famously great at.

17
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.359
The LA Times caught up with Joe
Koy. They found him in his

18
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.159
office in the Studio City, and
they mentioned that his space has a top

19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.760
of the line recording studio and mini
stage set with his logo on it.

20
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.480
It's a space designed to help JOKOI
prep his material as well as develop new

21
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.480
comics. He hopes to make it
a space where you can give back to

22
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.680
the community. Joekoi said, I
want people that are coming up struggling right

23
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.840
now to be able to go to
a venue that's sick. I used to

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.920
do coffee houses, and I just
remember how I would ate going there because

25
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.200
it's like trying to tell the punchline
and this mother effort is grinding coffee grounds

26
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.560
during my punchline or washing dishes.
I don't know, what are you gonna

27
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.920
do. You're gonna go to Joekoy's
office and work out material. Don't you

28
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.640
need an audience? I don't know. I'm not a comedian. Joe Koy

29
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.159
was talking about the Golden Globes and
said we were still riding it up until

30
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.040
they said, we're live absolute cold
reads. Never got a chance to work

31
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.519
out anything. And this is not
an excuse. I'm just trying to paint

32
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.040
the picture because I don't think people
understand in any situation, how is that

33
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.879
geared towards winning. If you were
to write that situation down on a piece

34
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.480
of paper and go, do you
want to do this? I guarantee everyone

35
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.919
would be like no. I'm happy
I did because I accept that challenge.

36
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.960
I'll host the Golden Globes. I
won't even prep I'll just show up and

37
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.360
read the cue cards and you guys
can make fun of me. Let me

38
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.199
know, call me. The La
Times asked Joe Cooy what grade would you

39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.759
give your performance? Joe said,
I think I did well given the circumstances.

40
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.159
I don't want to give myself a
rating because that's subjective. You can

41
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.240
give me whatever rating you want.
I'm going to give myself an A plus.

42
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.240
I thought you just said you don't
want to give yourself a rating.

43
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.639
I'm going to give myself an A
plus, just based on the courage to

44
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.240
do it. Courage is a little
strong there, my friend. I'm going

45
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.719
to hit it over the head a
million times. Whoever you could think in

46
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:39.960
your head that could have done it. I'm telling you right now, they

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.879
said no, and I didn't.
I looked at it in a different light.

48
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.800
The history of the show's eighty one
years. That's eighty one hosts,

49
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.680
and some repeated I'm the first Asian
to ever solo host. It's twenty twenty

50
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.280
four. I'm the first out of
eighty one years. Sandra Oh was the

51
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.080
first co host, but I was
the first solo host. Imagine if someone

52
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.879
said yes before me, would still
be at the eighty second Golden Globes.

53
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.319
I still no Asian as a solo
host. So if I didn't say yes,

54
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.719
there still would have never been.
La Times said there was a sense

55
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.639
that you threw the writers under the
bus. Joe said, I love my

56
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.159
writers. I love all three of
them, and I shouted them out and

57
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.639
I told them there was a moment
right there where I'm just grasping I love

58
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.360
them and I can't stop talking about
them. In every interview. They busted

59
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.120
their behinds. Man, there's a
lot of greats that make rookie moves.

60
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.759
That was a rookie move. Those
writers are dope, and that was not

61
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.280
my intention at all. They were
amazing they had my back and I need

62
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.639
to make sure I fix that,
and I will. I always will.

63
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.719
It's so crazy because the day before
we're all sitting right here is the first

64
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.639
time we all met in person.
Wait, the first time he met the

65
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.120
writers was the day before. Nah, one time. That's all we had.

66
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.719
It was the most insane thing,
and all we did was just sit

67
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.800
and go over it. And you
know, there's suggestions. I went up

68
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.560
on my stage here at my office
and just verbally ran through it. But

69
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.319
it was running through our group.
Of course we're gonna laugh at it.

70
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.759
Yeah, that's what I was saying
before, about you're gonna go to Joe

71
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.400
Coy's office and work out your material. How's that gonna work? It's honest

72
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.400
feedback for us. But I didn't
get to run it on stage anywhere I

73
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.280
your office play might be flowed,
Joe Cooy, listen to yourself. I

74
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.000
didn't get anywhere where I could just
sneak these things in. That's what it's

75
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.919
all about. It's working things out. So given the circumstances, that's what

76
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.919
I had to go through, and
that's fine. Next question, during your

77
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.199
monologue, what was the joke you
thought would land and it didn't. Joe

78
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.519
Coy said, I didn't understand the
Taylor Swift tiff, mind you, that

79
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.079
one was just getting rewritten fifty million
times. Never ran through it all the

80
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.480
way till we had to walk out. It's just weird. Where do you

81
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.759
place it? And we kept hairing
it and cutting it down. But the

82
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.480
whole intention of that joke was to
make fun of the NFL. It's like,

83
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.000
the cool thing about the Golden Globes
is we don't need to do cutaways

84
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.560
for ratings. Actually, if you
had cut away to the football games,

85
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.040
I was watching the football game that
night, that might have helped. What

86
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.199
hurts the most is me just supporting
Tailor. I support her, I love

87
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.560
her work. I got nieces that
I bought tickets for. There's no ill

88
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.199
intent in that joke. The joke's
about the NFL and how they keep using

89
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.920
cutaways to her. I agree with
Jokoy there. You've heard me talk about

90
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.759
that all week, and it's an
obvious reason why I'm not saying anything that

91
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.199
no one's saying. And it's obvious
what the joke was. It's about the

92
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.720
NFL. It's like, out of
everything that's happened, this is the one

93
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.800
you choose to go after. I
didn't understand why, because it was fun.

94
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.959
When I walked out, Robert Danier
was dying and I'm looking at him.

95
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.800
His wife was smacking's back and smiling
and laughing, and he was laughing.

96
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.240
And when I did the whole thing
about him being eighty, he loved

97
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.120
it, and that was fun.
I was like, this guy's so much

98
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.360
fun. And then I did the
Taylor Swift joke, and I'm like,

99
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.040
what just happened? Yes, That's
why I titled an episode earlier this week

100
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.160
something along the lines of did Taylor
Swift just murder Joe Koy's career? Joe

101
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.160
Coy continued, then, just the
reaction of the Barbie choke, the things

102
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.639
that are being said, It's like, man, I don't understand who I

103
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.199
am as a person. You know
what I mean, because if you've ever

104
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.160
seen me, you'll see just how
much I praise and shine light on women,

105
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.120
from my ex wife to my mom. That is true for every interview

106
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.879
I've ever seen with the guy.
My whole goal is to try and change

107
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.600
that type of narrative, just to
that look of being part of a divorce

108
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.079
family. I'm telling a joke what
happened to society when we can't even joke

109
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.319
with each other anymore? I bought
that movie. I supported the movie.

110
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.720
Yes, that's the story that the
doll needed. And I'm glad because now

111
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.160
there's people that look like my mom
that can support that. Boy. He

112
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:59.480
sounds damaged. Some other comedians were
discussing Joe Coy. Laurie Kilmartin tweeted,

113
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.680
this is a terrible job. This
audience sucks. They're famous, nervous,

114
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.639
and humorless. In ten days is
generally not enough time to write about five

115
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.120
hundred jokes, which is how many
you need to find fifteen suitable jokes.

116
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.920
Comedian Eliza Skinner told The Rap she's
right, if not lowballing it a little.

117
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.040
It's a wildly specific crowd, huge
celebrities that are braced to be roasted

118
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.199
on camera. You could see it
on their faces. They're like, oh

119
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.240
what now as soon as they're on
camera. Comedian Lee Cohen went on TikTok

120
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.439
and did her version of what the
monologue would have been. According to Lee

121
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.120
Cohen, she would have went with
Taylor Swift is here tonight, which means

122
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.519
the property value this building just increased
by ten trillion. Dollars. I think

123
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.480
we all need to leave within the
next five minutes or will legally be declared

124
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.639
squatters. All right, I took
up the challenge and had the chat chept

125
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.680
write a joke, and I think
this one's pretty good for the Pro Bowl.

126
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.360
I heard the NFL is considering implementing
a Taylor Swift Challenge, where teams

127
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.399
compete to see who can get the
most camera time from Taylor during a game.

128
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.519
I also like this one. We
were gonna invite Tom Brady the Golden

129
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.079
Globes just to mess with Taylor,
and then I asked it to go a

130
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.319
little snirkier. This is probably too
mean for the room, but not bad.

131
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.399
I heard track us Kelsey isn't tuning
into the Golden Globes. He's afraid

132
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.079
to see if Taylor Swift would finally
win an award for Best Breakup Song inspired

133
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.079
by an NFL player, Kevin Hart
commented on the awards. He spoke to

134
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.319
Sky News He's not doing it.
Told you about this yesterday, but he

135
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.720
spoke a little more and said,
whatever little hope you had, I want

136
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.600
to destroy it right now. Those
gigs aren't good gigs for comics. It's

137
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.399
no shots of the oscars, no
shots of the globes or anything else.

138
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.360
Those just aren't comedy friendly environments anymore. I think they got it right one

139
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.920
year where it was just like a
bunch of personalities acting as the host.

140
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.319
And that's a nice thing. It's
a collaborative thing, different people getting to

141
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.360
be responsible for aque, Act two, Act three. But you know,

142
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.360
the days of it being a room
for comic, those days are done.

143
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.360
Shout out to those who have cracked
the code and done it right early on.

144
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.279
You know, the Chris Rocks of
the world, the Billy Crystal's of

145
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.720
the world, the girls we've had
like Tina Fey, Amy Polar, Ricky

146
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:50.480
Travas. I didn't misread that.
The girls we've had like Tina Fey,

147
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.040
Amy Poehler, Ricky Terva's okay.
There's a lot of people that understand that

148
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.600
if you're not an industry comic,
meaning a comic that has the relationships of

149
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.639
all and these rooms are very cold, so me doing it is of course,

150
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.160
I had an advantage because I know
the room and for me, I'm

151
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.399
familiar with so many, But for
others it's not the same. It's not

152
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.800
the gig it was of old it's
too much pressure on the idea of a

153
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.879
comic and what jokes and not jokes? So it's tough. Collider reviewed Lift.

154
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.839
That's Kevin's new Netflix movie. I
was planning on watching it on Friday

155
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.399
night. Their headline's pretty harsh.
Hey, Kevin Hart's pretty funny, right,

156
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.879
wouldn't it be great if we made
a movie where he wasn't ouch?

157
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.360
They wrote. Kevin Hart is funny. Even if you don't particularly like him,

158
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.160
you have to admit that, at
the very least, he is sharp

159
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.279
comedic timing, which is of course
essential for anyone telling jokes. So why

160
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.399
would the new Netflix action comedy movie
Lift make him the only serious character and

161
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.240
delegate the comic relief role that everyone
but him. On the off chance that

162
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.159
this was a great or at least
unexpected idea, it would need a tremendous

163
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.519
amount of work to make sense.
This is far from the case here who

164
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.320
I watched Pete Davidson special at least
about ten minutes of it. It's not

165
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.080
good. That's my review. It's
not good. That's all you need to

166
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.279
know. As I watched it,
I it sounds to me like somebody added

167
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.279
some laughter. I programs comedy radio
at Serious XM and had the radio on

168
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.399
twelve hours a day, five days
a week for a decade. And I

169
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.440
know what the rhythms of a comedy
crowd sounded like, and this just sounded

170
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.080
like the audience was laughing a heck
of a lot. Pete. Also,

171
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.440
it's in black and white. Why
Happy Days turns fifty on Monday, And

172
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.120
there's something called the Catchy Comedy Network, and they wanted your attention when it

173
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.720
worked on me. They're featuring eighty
six back to back episodes. Their marathon

174
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.399
starts at eleven am today and continues
until six am on Monday. Then you

175
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.799
can watch Happy Days every day at
two thirty Eastern on whatever catchy comedy network

176
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.759
is. Lavernon Shirley airs at two
o'clock, so it's a nice little hour

177
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.759
of retro TV there. Aprigancy's in
Cincinnati tonight. City Beat asked Nate's what

178
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.879
kind of stuff he grew up on
with comedy whyse and Nate said, yeah,

179
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.799
Saturday Night Live was big, especially
in my high school years with Adam

180
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.759
Sandler, David Spade and Chris Forourley
and then Will Ferrell. So yes,

181
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.240
and I'll definitely stand Up, Bill
Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Sinbad, the

182
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.879
ones that were clean I could listen
to. I wasn't able to watch Eddie

183
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.480
Murphy special, so I just end
up watching the clean things. Would do

184
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.279
some Bob Newhart, Andy Griffith,
a lot of stuff like that. They

185
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.879
were curious did he have any mentors
coming up and stand up, and Nate

186
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.320
said, there's been many. Jimmy
Fallons saw me at a comedy club in

187
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.120
New York, and so our relationship
kind of began there and it's continued for

188
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.879
ten years now with going on a
show. I talked to Seinfeld now too,

189
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.720
so it's nice to get to talk
to some of those guys that has

190
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.840
done this stuff before me and just
learn just to hear some stories and learn

191
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.200
from it. Nate, do you
have any interest in becoming an actor?

192
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.039
Nate said, I'd like to.
Trying to figure out a few things now

193
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.799
and kind of seeing where it goes. This tour has been a very big

194
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.039
tour, so it's just finding time
to be able to do something like that.

195
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.399
I definitely do. I definitely want
to create some stuff outside of just

196
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.000
pure straight stand up. They'll do
stand up forever. Being able to create

197
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.240
this stuff. We'll kind of live
on. That's the plan. I'd like

198
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.200
to try and shoot some stuff in
Nashville so I could be home and Nashville's

199
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.360
exploding. They asked if he has
any news he wants to drop, and

200
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.960
Nate said, yeah, I'm doing
Forrest Gump too. That's your comedy news

201
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.399
for today. If you enjoy the
program, you can go to buy me

202
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.000
a coffee. Dot com slash daily
company news. I'm going to take your

203
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.399
money and now I'm gonna drive right
past the donuts chain. They be getting

204
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.840
my order wrong. I'm going to
the smoothie Place, still looking for a

205
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.799
clever name for the smoothie place,
and I'm going to get a peanut butter.

206
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.080
What is it? I don't know
what they called it, but it's

207
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.960
peanut butter and chocolate in the end, delicious. See you tomorrow.
