1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, a
very robust one for a summer Friday.

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.320
Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy news. Catching up on an

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.640
item. John mulaney is married.
So behind the scenes here what happened was

4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.800
I had to buy a new MacBook
and you connect the old MacBook to the

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.399
new MacBook and the stuff transfers over
and it takes a few hours. And

6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.240
as soon as I did that,
I saw, oh, John m'laney got

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.640
married, So I did a quick
bonus episode on my phone in case you

8
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.679
missed that. Anyway, catching up
on the story seems over July fourth weekend,

9
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.799
John mulaney and Olivia Munn got married. So who was at this wedding,

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.840
Well, not too many people.
Malcolm was there, okay, and

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.359
Sam Waters did. I was like, huh, Well, it turns out

12
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.079
that Sam and Olivia Munn co starred
in the newsroom and I was like,

13
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.840
oh, yeah, that's right.
I watched that show on HBO. I

14
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.560
really enjoyed that Sam's wife was the
ceremony's only witness. According to TMZ,

15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:06.159
congratulations to the happy couple. Hulu
is making a big push into stand up

16
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.560
comedy. They have signed Bill Burr. Interesting right. Bill Burr Special is

17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.159
taped in June at the More Theater
in Seattle. It will air on Hulu

18
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.439
as part of Hulu's Laughing Now banner. Hulu de banner is kind of lame,

19
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.079
like just Laughing Now lame. So
whoever came up with that doesn't know

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.079
comedy, get rid of that.
Also under the really really cool Laughing Now

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.480
banner. Jim Gaffigan his special The
Skinny, will kick off on November twenty

22
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.480
second. The plan is to have
twelve specials across the year. Man,

23
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.439
if you're starting with Bill Burr and
Jim Gaffigan or Jim Gaffigan and then Bill

24
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.239
Burr, that's a pretty good launch. By the way, Jim Gaffigan I

25
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.480
see on his Twitter he just put
out an album that's on Comedy Dynamics.

26
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.480
It is called The Prisoner. I
haven't checked that out yet. That kind

27
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.480
of went underpromoted a lot of press
from Eddie Murphy lately, much of it

28
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.159
going back to that New York Times
interview. They dust it off. You

29
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.760
may or may not know this,
depending on how old you are. Bill

30
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.120
Cosby back in the day he gave
Eddie Murphy the business Eddie said, language

31
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.400
was the way he would come at
it. It wasn't so much language,

32
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.319
it was the times we were in. This is back when you know,

33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:08.759
one black person at the time was
getting in the mix. When I came

34
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.759
on the scene, Richard Pryor and
Bill Cosby were like, Oh, this

35
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.199
is the new stuff that's coming up. There's a new thing coming on.

36
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.479
Then that's a threat to whatever that
thing is. That's what Bill Cosby had.

37
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.240
He went on to say that Pryor
saw him as an up and comer

38
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.639
who was trying to be like prior, Yeah, you think, Richard Pryor,

39
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.000
I'm with you on that one.
Consequently, Richard Pryor did not see

40
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.919
Eddie Murphy as a threat, Eddie
said. Bill Cosby was like, is

41
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.960
this the new way it's gonna be? Now? They're gonna be on stage

42
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.680
grabbing their you know, central region
there and talking all crazy. So we

43
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.400
had come at me with, oh, the language, which was more like

44
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.919
it's one at a time, and
is this the new guy who's gonna knock

45
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.039
me out of the spot. That's
what was going on back then. Cosby

46
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.319
is an interesting cat. I remember
when he was booked on Jim Brewer's show.

47
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.199
It might be twenty years ago now, coming up on that. My

48
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.360
phone rang one day and it's Bill
Cosby on the other end of the phone,

49
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.719
and he was asking all kinds of
questions. You know, what's this

50
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.680
show? Like, is this this
guy work dirty? You know? Cosby

51
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.039
was keeping up that public image and
like really working at it. You know,

52
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.000
in later days we found out all
kinds of things about Bill Cosby,

53
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.719
But boy, he was came comping
up the image. And then I remember

54
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.800
when he did that. I guess
it was his last special for Comedy Central.

55
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.479
We had him up and same thing. He was really vetting the room

56
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.919
and is this safe? And you
know you guys aren't going to be all

57
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.919
naughty and stuff. Boy, he
kept up that public image. I have

58
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.280
another Bill Cosby story which I will
tell someday. Got a hold onto that

59
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.800
one for a while. Dion Cole
and Leslie Jones have been tapped as headliners

60
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.479
for the second annual because of their
Funny Comedy Festival That was a good Festival

61
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.599
last year. This year's events September
twenty seventh through the twenty ninth, that

62
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.360
the Wharf and DC improv the BTTF
Festival will include panels, comedy classes,

63
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.639
networking events and the betf Care is
a charity fundraiser. On Saturday, September

64
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.199
twenty eighth, six finalists will compete
for a ten thousand dollars grand prize and

65
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.719
the opportunity to secure representation by some
agents. Leslie Jones will perform on the

66
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.479
Sunday. Leslie also is going to
be part of the NBC Olympics coverage coming

67
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.080
up soon. Pete Davidson will headline
the Rochester Fringe Festival. This one's September

68
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.160
thirteenth at the East Mennut Theaters Kodak
Hall. Rochester's not for profit fringe has

69
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.879
become one of the largest and most
successful fringe festivals in the nation. The

70
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.160
full lineup for the thirteenth annual Rochester
Fringe will be announced on July twenty third.

71
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.680
They're coming for Trevor Noah. Apparently, The New York Post is like,

72
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.319
Hey, Trevor Noah, what's the
deal with you and Microsoft? The

73
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:39.319
article suggests that Trevor Noah has a
history of discussing Microsoft without clearly disclosing his

74
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.439
affiliation with the company. You see, in twenty twenty two, Microsoft named

75
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.079
Trevor Noah it's Chief Questions Officer that
same year. The Hollywood Report noted,

76
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.160
though his Chief Questions Officer title there
is new, the tech whiz has been

77
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.879
consulting with the company for six years, and through his work with the product

78
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.360
development team, has applied from multiple
patents. The New York Posts says the

79
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.360
Federal Trade Commission has recently ramped up
actions against influencers and celebrities who failed to

80
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:10.360
disclose a monetary relationship with products they
endorse. Late Night Er says it's unclear

81
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.279
what prompted the article, which does
not claim Noah is being specifically investigated by

82
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.120
the FTC. The New York Post
has described Trevor Noah's interviews of various Microsoft

83
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.360
execs on The Daily Show as glowing. Also noted in the article is Trevor

84
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.319
Noa's appearance in twenty nineteen for GQ's
My Essential series, where he touted a

85
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:34.199
Microsoft Surface Pro ex tablet as one
of his essential items for travel. Very

86
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.040
interesting. Why are they coming for
Trevor Noah all of a sudden? These

87
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.639
articles don't just happen. You don't
just walk in at The New York Posts

88
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.720
and be like, hey boss,
I'm just gonna write an article about Trevor

89
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.319
Noah and Microsoft for no reason.
Okay, yeah, whatever, man,

90
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.120
we got a newspaper to put out
right whatever you want. Like somebody had

91
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.959
a conversation about this. I want
to know why. Let's keep an eye

92
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.560
on this one. The Great Outdoors
Comedy Festival hits Edmonton this weekend. Kevin

93
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.360
Hart, Andrew Schultz, and Bert
Chraysier. Not bad. Coming up next

94
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.480
weekend in Winnipeg, The Great Outdoors
Comedy Festival as Tom Sigoora, Bill Burn,

95
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.560
Natepergatsi. That is no sloushy line
up there. Jeff Foxworthy is in

96
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.680
Tucson tonight. Tucson dot Com asked
Jeff if he might incorporate his grandchildren into

97
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.279
the show like he did with his
two daughters when they were young. Jeff

98
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.319
said, I was making good money
off them till they became high school age

99
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.759
and asked him to stop. They
took away a good revenue stream. That's

100
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.639
the great thing about when they're little. They don't realize you're talking about them

101
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.199
Saturday Night. Don't expect him to
do You might be a redneck if he

102
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.399
stopped doing it a few years ago, thinking maybe his audiences were tired of

103
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.399
it. I think you're wrong there, Jeff. We like that one.

104
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.920
He might reboot it for the twenty
first century because Rednecks still certainly exists.

105
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.079
They're trying to be hip and all, but deep down underneath, it's like,

106
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.639
Nah, God only made like one
hundred hit people in the country,

107
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.319
and the rest of us are pretenders, and I've reached the age where you

108
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.480
quit pretending. Foxworthy says there are
days where he has to get up at

109
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.399
four am to get to the airport
and their back to back show weekends where

110
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.199
he asked himself why still doing this? But when you're on the side of

111
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.759
the stage and they turn the lights
down and people start clapping, it's like

112
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.160
an adrenaline rush. You're like,
I still got to do this. I

113
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.879
really honestly feel like I've cheated the
world and that I got to do something

114
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:11.120
I love doing this much and made
a fabulous living doing it. I'm like,

115
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.680
I gotta be one of the luckiest
people on the planet because I would

116
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.560
have done it for free. Go
