John Mulaney's Late Night Aspirations PLUS Rob Schneider gig goes sideways

WEBVTT

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny
Mack with your daily comedy news. If

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.800
you skip the weekends, the weekend
was really good. Saturday, my hour

3
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.760
long interview with Mark Malkoff, Sunday's
episode, and I'm the first one a

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.399
cop to a lot of times on
the weekend, there's filler stuff. Yesterday's

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.079
episode was all new stuff that I
had found when I recorded, and it's

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.799
really strong, including a fun Triumph
story and a really fun Rob Schneider story.

7
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.039
So if you miss the weekend,
check that out. And premium subscribers,

8
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.280
boy, on Saturday morning, they
were treated to three three and a

9
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.799
half minutes of me talking to my
phone as I drove home from the National

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.920
Donuts Chain. I mean, what
a treat that alone worth the four ninety

11
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.359
nine for premium subscribers Today is good
too. A late night joke from Jimmy

12
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.880
Fallon. In an effort to boost
the birth rate, Tokyo was launching the

13
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.719
first government run dating app. That's
nice. Apparently in Japan they have government

14
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:03.520
benefits and government with benefits love it. John Mullaney profiled by Indie Wire he

15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.120
talked about that late night show.
Mulaney said the pitch was Netflix wanted a

16
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.280
show every night coinciding with the festival. They didn't know what they wanted.

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:11.879
They brought it to me and said, would you want to produce this and

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.000
be some part of it? And
I was like that, we didn't know

19
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.920
what this is. Do you want
to do it? I was intrigued by

20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.719
six live nights, the run of
it, and the finite amount of time.

21
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.519
Originally, Melanie didn't even plan to
host it. I knew we wouldn't

22
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.359
be able to start until February,
even in pre production, and I thought,

23
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.480
Oh, that's so fun. We'll
just get a staff together, get

24
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.319
a lot of great people together,
and then we'll just have to go,

25
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.640
go, go, and then it'll
be done. May tenth. I was

26
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.079
kind of ripping off The Chris Rock
Show. That's Chris Rock's nineteen ninety seven

27
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.599
HBO series. He had Johnny Cochran
on, and I remember watching that as

28
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.319
a kid and going, Oh,
he's having on who he thinks is interesting.

29
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.359
I filed that away as like,
oh, of course you do that.

30
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.879
If you can get somebody interested in
who would be really cool to an

31
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.680
audience, everybody wins. And so
I had Marcia Clark. All right,

32
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.519
he has now addressed some of my
concerns with the program. Mlanie explained,

33
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.239
you have Jerry Seinfeld and he's sitting
next to a coyote expert that was anorth

34
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.719
star from the beginning, so the
fact that that specifically came together was really

35
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.200
great. When pitching the experts,
Malanie assured them they weren't going to be

36
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.639
a punchline of the joke. I
learned quickly you have to say, oh,

37
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.800
we're not making fun of you,
which I would have never thought you

38
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.080
have to say. But of course
they're saying it's a comedy show and we're

39
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.319
comedians, and I was like,
no, no, no, I'm much

40
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.639
more interested in you than I am
in the other comedians. Fan response to

41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.599
Everybody's in la In particularly felt really
gratifying because most of the comedy I've done,

42
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.240
like Sack, Lunch Bunch or Oh
Hello, is actually about external topics

43
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.199
and not about my own life or
psyche or whatever. Was never about my

44
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.360
personal life. To me, I
mainly make fun of TV shows and random

45
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.560
things I've seen. So this show, being entirely external in a way,

46
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.319
in the end becomes the most personal
thing you can do. I promise you,

47
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.759
I think more about earthquakes and ghosts
than I do my own life.

48
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.680
All right, John mulaney, are
we getting more of this show? M'laney

49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.680
said, I'm really not sure.
I think what I loved about the show

50
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.039
so much is that every sort of
minute looked like it was about to get

51
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.599
out of control in every possible way. M'lanie talked about the callers. Johnny

52
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.400
mack has pointed out some of the
callers were kind of killing the show.

53
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.080
Mlanie said, but there was one
story I won't name, but I thought,

54
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.319
are you kidding? I was so
bored, and I was like,

55
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.360
you got to hold it together.
You did invite the calls. My biggest

56
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.800
takeaway was I feel like on Larry
King Live or on drivetime Radio, people

57
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.680
knew what a call in segment was. They hit the ground running and they

58
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.879
go, yeah, I got three
things to say about Lendy Dichster. But

59
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.319
our callers tended to be younger.
I'd be like, hi, and they'd

60
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.800
be like, so, I know, you talk about earthquakes. Get tell

61
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.039
the story. You got to come
in hot, exactly, John mulaney.

62
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.719
And that is why you need a
producer. That's what I've been saying.

63
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.800
Rob Schneider in the news again,
this time international. The Daily Mail writes

64
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.520
American comedian Rob Schneider slam's cancel culture, claiming it has changed the world of

65
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.960
comedy for the worst. He told
Channel seven's Sunrise that audiences are getting too

66
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.319
upsight about what you could joke about
on TV, which is why he prefers

67
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.680
stand up comedy. Although if you're
doing a hospital benefit, be careful booking

68
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.159
Rob Schneider, see yesterday's episode for
why people get uptight about stuff. That's

69
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.199
why it's important I have a dark
theater to perform in where people can hear

70
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.280
things that they can't hear on TV. Schneider is currently touring Australia. The

71
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.719
idea is to be able to express
things and let it out. People can

72
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.560
laugh at things. It's not attacking
anybody, although some people claim it is.

73
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.639
It's tough for now, But at
the same time, anytime people get

74
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.759
uptight about something is an opportunity.
You have to get it in a way

75
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.519
the audience can laugh. Schneider was
asked about Happy Gilmour too. He said,

76
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.639
I think Sandler just can't stop making
movies. He doesn't know what else

77
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.199
to do with his life. I
finally got around watching some comedy specials.

78
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.959
Joe Coy Boy, that review I
read on Friday, it was on point.

79
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.120
The guy was saying how it looked
like a comedy special and there were

80
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.279
no jokes. Boy, I agree
my notes where Joekoy is all energy,

81
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.639
stop cursing and tell a joke.
It was just like all vibe. He's

82
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.040
very charismatic. The energy's there,
but dude, do some material. It

83
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.439
was five minutes fifty seconds in before
the first solid joke land. I won't

84
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.800
spoil it. It's very solid,
but it was like, come on,

85
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.079
dude, life's too short. I
bailed on that. Sorry, Joe Coy,

86
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.639
Life's too short. I bailed on
that one. So I switched over

87
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.560
to Rachel Feinstein and the complete opposite. She gets right to it. I

88
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.360
don't even know if she said hello
and immediately gets into the material. Is

89
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.360
it her special life changing? No, it's a nice, solid hour of

90
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.920
comedy. I've added to my best
of twenty twenty four list all the way

91
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.439
at the bottom, but it's on
the list. It's fine. It's a

92
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.000
nice hour. As I analyze it, are some of her stories exaggerated?

93
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.839
Fake? Sure? Absolutely, but
she's doing characters and the voices of the

94
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.560
various firemen she does in her act. I feel like I know these people.

95
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.560
I've met these people, so I
like Rachel a lot. The Closer

96
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.759
could have been a little stronger.
The special just kind of ends, but

97
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.720
it's nice. The TV grim Reaper
reported that although The Roast of Tom Brady

98
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.800
did two hundred and seventy nine million
minutes in its first live night, it

99
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.120
averaged two hundred and thirty nine million
minutes a day for the following week.

100
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.839
Wow, a lot of people watched
it after the fact. I guess it

101
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.000
had really good buzz. Last week
Jimmy Kimmel had Kamala Harris on seems they

102
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.079
made an edit and we didn't know
about stuff. A video shared on social

103
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.720
media by an anti war group called
Code Pink. They described themselves as a

104
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.519
feminist grassroots organization working to end US
warfare and imperialism and support peace and human

105
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.720
rights initiatives. In their video,
pro Palestinian activists of the audience at Kimmel

106
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.279
can be seen interrupting the interview with
Harris by shouting phrases like stop the genocide

107
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.920
and you're a murderer to Harris.
Kim Will tells the crowd, you're interrupting

108
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:33.720
my flow. Security personnel appear to
remove the person disrupting the proceedings. Kim

109
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.360
Will tells Harris, sorry about that, and then quips if anybody else has

110
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.879
something to say, this is the
time. The video then cuts to a

111
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.920
different person interfering with the taping,
a security officer and then is on the

112
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.639
video saying you are under arrest at
the moment for interfering with a live television

113
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:54.560
broadcast. It is unclear if that
person was Jimmy Kimmel's security secret service LAPD

114
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.959
or someone else. Code Pink is
now demanding the Late Night Show address and

115
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.319
apologize for the un necessary use of
brutal force. Yikes. The Washington Post

116
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.959
had a large profile of Joel Kim
Booster. Joel Kim Booster's publicist, you

117
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.439
earned your money this week. Boy. This was a wax job. As

118
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.279
a former coworker used to say,
you know, that's when you bring your

119
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.040
car over to somebody's house and they
wax it down and make it look nice.

120
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.399
That's what that term means. The
Post writs, for a while,

121
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.279
Joel Kim Booster's brand was oversharing.
Joel says if I was feeling something,

122
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.759
everybody online would know about it.
Now it's just like if I'm feeling bad,

123
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.519
I don't want any of these lunics
to know about it because they'll just

124
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.160
go for the kill. I'm very
happy being a Dalist gay celebrity. I

125
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.040
can't imagine what it would be like
if street people knew who I was.

126
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.959
I have a very strict do not
engage policy. I hardly ever spawned anyone's

127
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.959
sweets or comments publicly, or dms
for that matter. The Santa Fe Reporters

128
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.680
spoke to Brian Reagan. Brian was
an ECON major until his football coach suggested

129
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.199
he switch. Reagan said, I
took a speech class and for one of

130
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.720
the speeches, we had to try
to be humorous. So I wrote this

131
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.639
speech and killed But not only did
it feel good. Remember the teacher in

132
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.759
the back, This woman was laughing
like crazy, and I was thinking,

133
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.480
I've never impressed a teacher in my
life with anything that. I remember walking

134
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.639
back to the dorm after the class
and I was on a cloud, thinking

135
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.480
I don't feel like this when I
walk back from any of my other classes.

136
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.600
So I was like, whatever that
was, I know, I want

137
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.319
that in my life. Has comedy
changed since Brian Reagan started. Yeah,

138
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.759
it's like anything else that grows and
evolves. In fact, if I were

139
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.879
young now trying to get in to
stand up comedy, I don't even know.

140
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.920
I wouldn't how to do it.
When I started comedy clubs which just

141
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.279
opening around the country, and the
way you got on stage was going to

142
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.279
open mic at a comedy club.
Now a lot of comedy clubs don't even

143
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.320
have open mics. The Washington Post
has been covering the DC comedy scene.

144
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.879
Some comedians doing well there include Jasmine
Burton, a practicing attorney. Jasmine started

145
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.600
in comedy a little over two years
ago. My long term goal is to

146
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.039
be a late night television show host
like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Coberer or Trevor

147
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.399
Noah. A lot of hosts get
their start in comedy, so I thought

148
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.759
it'd be a great way to get
my name out there and start preparing me

149
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.559
for the big leagues. I'm the
perfect combination of West Coast and East Coast

150
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.200
swagger. I'm known for my high
energy, witty punch lines, and infusion

151
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.200
of the law and my life experiences
in a co When you see me.

152
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.879
I want you to feel like you
are just like me, or have a

153
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.279
best friend that is. I love
to talk about law school at Howard University

154
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.120
and my career now and how policy
affects us in our day to day lives.

155
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.559
Well, tell us about a time
you bummed, Jasmine said. One

156
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.879
time I was trying new material and
was not going well. One audience member

157
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.600
yelled keep your day job, and
although they meant it as an insult,

158
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.320
I actually found it to be extreme
sound financial advice, so I thanked them

159
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.639
for that. That's really funny,
and that is your comedy news for today.

160
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.639
My voice is shot. I recorded
Sunday and Monday back to back.

161
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.200
That half ass triumph impression killing me. Don't do a triumph impression. You'll

162
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.919
destroy your voice. See tomorrow
