00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny
Mack with your daily comedy news. The
2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.519
Golden Globes are on CBS tonight.
Joe Coy's your host, Talk about Joe
3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.399
in a second. The nominees for
Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on Television
4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.559
are Amy Schumer for Emergency Contact,
Chris Rock for selective Outrage, Ricky Gervais
5
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.359
or mcgeddon, Sarah Silverman, someone
you Love, Trevor Noah's Where was I?
6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.800
Wanda Sykes. I'm an entertainer.
I have no idea who they'll pick
7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.439
out of that. I think I'd
pick Trevor, but I don't know.
8
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.679
They're all fine. Well, Amy
special is not good. From the Hollywood
9
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.000
Reporter, Jimmy Kimmel has five months
to prepare for the Oscars. When it
10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.159
came to the Golden Globes this year, Joe Coy had less than two weeks.
11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.920
He said, I haven't slept and
I've never watched this many movies and
12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.280
TV shows in my life. Over
the holidays, he was busy binging everything
13
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.960
from Oppenheimer to Maestro. Interesting frustration
came out here, they write, Joe
14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.200
Coy has been selling out arenas well
a stand up comedy, but heead of
15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.000
his twenty twenty two Netflix specially.
He told The Hollywood Reporter that the industry
16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.640
been slow to recognized his success,
quoting him from twenty twenty two, or
17
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:04.760
what is it that you're not seeing? These numbers are as clear as day.
18
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.200
I'm gonna list that a lot of
people aren't comics who were selling out
19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.599
arenas. It's like Elton, John
Billy Joel, Joe Koy and Coldplay,
20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.239
Like what are you guys seeing?
And it heard? It hurt a lot,
21
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.239
and yeah, I was offensive that
I still had to convince a lot
22
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.079
of people that what I'm saying is
relevant and funny. So Coy said he
23
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.480
had less than two and a half
weeks to prepare because it took a day
24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.560
for the contract to go through,
and then the writers those had to come
25
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.200
through, so we're looking at like
nine days. This has definitely been a
26
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.519
crash course on how to embassy a
major event. He's super excited. I've
27
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.879
been smiling year to ears since the
day I found out that I got it.
28
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.439
It's surreal and I'm enjoying every single
moment. It just means so much,
29
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.400
and not only to me. I've
got a lot of weight in my
30
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.400
shoulders that have got to carry.
I got my family, I got my
31
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.760
culture, I got the Asian community. I got the halfers out there,
32
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.439
the half white, half Asian,
half black, half Asian, half Latino,
33
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.480
half Asian. There's a lot of
halfers out there that need some representation.
34
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.879
And I fill that void. And
I know that because when I was
35
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.599
a kid, all I did was
watch award shows and watch TV, and
36
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.040
the one thing you always thought out
was to be inspired by somebody who looked
37
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.359
like you, or somebody who said
something that kind of sounded like you.
38
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.599
And I know that's what this moment
is for me. You know that there's
39
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.040
gonna be a kid going Okay,
it's possible. Cool. He did that,
40
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.719
so all right, I can do
it too, And to me,
41
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.759
that's everything. That's all I want. How will he differentiate this award show
42
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:10.560
from you know, other award shows? Joe Coy said, this is the
43
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.199
fun one. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of every single award
44
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.879
show. It's just in our blood. As far as Filipinos are concerned,
45
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.360
We're addicted to award shows. We're
addicted to talent shows. Growing up,
46
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.960
as a kid, would watch award
shows, says family would bet on who's
47
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.000
gonna win what category, and out
of all the award shows, this is
48
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.919
the one that everybody enjoys watching.
By the way, I'm a fan of
49
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.400
everyone who's hosted this show. I'd
be lying off, I said differently,
50
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.840
And in no way am I replacing
anybody some of the recent hosts. You
51
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.560
may recall last year Drug Carmichael,
I no, no, no, how
52
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.280
could that was Ricky Gervais, who
was awesome, Tina Fane, Amy Poehler.
53
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.800
They're always solid, Joe says.
The bosses said, be you.
54
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.479
We like what you do and on
stage, so let's try and bring that
55
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.240
to the globes. Will there be
any roasting? Oh, I'm still gonna
56
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.439
do what I do. I want
to do it in a celebratory way and
57
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:53.360
i want to have a good time. But I'm still gonna make fun of
58
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.120
a lot of people. Joe also
got advice from Chris Rock. Did Chris
59
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.479
give him any advice, say somebody
to come out of the audience and try
60
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.120
and slap him? Joe said no. But out of everything he said to
61
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.639
me, this one stuck out the
most. He goes, screw the wardrobe,
62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.039
screw the costume change. Watch the
show, Watch the entire show.
63
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.240
You don't know what's gonna happen.
That way, you're ready. If someone
64
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.719
says something wrong, You're not gonna
walk out on stage and act like you
65
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:16.960
saw it. You saw it,
you can react to it, be prepared.
66
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.560
The Intero Bang is a comedy website. They kind of lean into the
67
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.479
New York City cigarettes smoking, scorched
earth kind of comedy, and they did
68
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.280
some end of the year comedy listener
polls. It's been a pretty slow news
69
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.479
week, as you could tell.
I just did five minutes on Joe Koy
70
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.439
Other than Kat Williams, Kat,
can you scorch some more earth? That
71
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:38.919
would be awesome, That would really
help me out. So let's take a
72
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.080
look at what the Intero Bang had
their album of the Year Best Comedy Album,
73
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.599
Bob the Drag, Queens, Woke
Man in Address interesting pick by the
74
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.439
listeners there if you want a sense
of their taste. The previous winners from
75
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.759
twenty twenty two and back to twenty
fourteen. Jen Kirkman, James Matturns,
76
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.240
the check Spot talk about James much
around here, Bonnie McFarlane, Rich Voz,
77
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.479
Adam Ferrara, Joe DeRosa, Rich
Voz again, Jmore and Big Jay
78
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:13.479
Oakerson. So that'll give you a
sense of that website's reader's sensibilities. Their
79
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.199
best comedy Special of the year.
Not despite everything I just said, this
80
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.959
makes no sense to me, because
this one I'm about to tell you has
81
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.120
nothing to do with anything, you
know what. I'm gonna wait a second
82
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.759
and tell you who they named best
comedy Special because it makes no sense based
83
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.240
upon everything else we're profiling here.
Okay, Starting in twenty fourteen, Jim
84
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.759
Jeffries, then Jim Norton, then
Barry Krimmin's Whatever Frightens You, Judah Friedlander,
85
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.040
Gad Almela's American Dream, in twenty
eighteen Weird One. Then follow the
86
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.319
pattern here, Mark normand Shane Gillis, Christa Stefano. So you got kind
87
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.600
of the vibe, right, Well, what's the best comedy special of the
88
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.879
year according to their readers this year? Kathleen Madigan's Hunting Bigfoot? What must
89
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.800
have been a writing campaign and they're
a stand up. Comedian of the Year
90
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.319
this year went to Brit Kraser.
Previous winners Christtephanie Ownateperghatzy, Colin Quinn,
91
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.720
she and Gillisburg, chrischer dju To
Freelander, Jim Jeffreys, Natepergatzy and Bill
92
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:10.759
burr A. John dor did an
interview with the Guardian and Dude, when
93
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.360
somebody's trying to give you press,
just be gracious about it. I'm gonna
94
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.959
read this entire transcript here, and
John, you just sound like a jerky
95
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.519
face. The Toronto Guardian asks,
how would you describe your comedy style?
96
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.439
I would use words. Who are
some of your influences? Buffy Saint Marie
97
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.639
from Mighty Massachusetts. Who's your favorite
comedian growing up? David Letterman? You
98
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.360
know you can elaborate. Dude,
you could say something about these people.
99
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.920
Who's your favorite comedian right now?
Matt Rife, you could say something about
100
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.319
it. What's your pre show ritual? Threecams of Miller Lytton try to arrive
101
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.680
on time? Thanks John. Speaking
of Matt Rife, Vogue recently profiled him.
102
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.560
They were curious how he's handling internet
trolls. Rife said something I need
103
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.360
to work on. I'm so immature. I have such hard time not replying
104
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.279
back. We live in a world
where everyone has such a false sense of
105
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.680
security and confidence hiding behind a computer
screen. I have a huge problem with
106
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.160
people not having to pay some kind
of physical consequence. And obviously, because
107
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.879
you're on a computer screen, can't
slap the crap out of you, but
108
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.319
I can at least check you.
Sometimes I can roast you right back.
109
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.920
Can't let them get away with it. Trives me absolutely insane. They were
110
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.240
curious if people in his life are
worried about ending up in his act now.
111
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.519
Matt Raive said, I don't talk
too much about stuff close to home.
112
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.920
I've always been that way. Like
sometimes I'm so close to things I
113
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.160
don't find them funny at all.
Like when I talk about my upbringing,
114
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.079
where I'm from, all that kind
of stuff, people are so fascinated and
115
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.879
it's not funny to me at all. They asked him about his biggest fear.
116
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.639
He said, the joke answer is
spiders. I hate spiders. Spiders
117
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.800
and heights. I'm not good with
either one of them. Deep answer,
118
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.240
job security. That probably gives me
the most anxiety. Bit what's happening right
119
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.680
now, It's like, yeah,
obviously it's incredible. I'm trying to soak
120
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.920
it all in and enjoy it.
But this is a fickle business. Yes,
121
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
Matt, I think you have learned
that fun tidbit from the recent Cliff
122
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.399
nester Off book Outrageous, A History
of Showbiz in the Culture Wars, contestants
123
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.600
on Family Feud during Richard Dawson's tenure
had to undergo herpi's tests on set.
124
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.040
Currently back in the day, the
game show implemented a policy stating that both
125
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:08.120
male and female contestants had to undergo
a mouth test with a magnifying glass from
126
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.839
the medical staff. During one contestants
experience, a production assistant announced, Okay,
127
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.959
everybody, a line up for your
herpes tests, and that is your
128
