John Oliver isn't sure what Elon Musk is talking about

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.200
I think my dog saved the days. Here's what happened. Before I start

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.480
any show, I always go check, check, check, and I tapped

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.519
the mic a bunch of times like
this to make sure the MIC's actually plugged

4
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.080
in and then I start. So
I did about ten minutes, and then

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.440
as I was doing the Taylor Thompson
story that you'll hear, my dog walked

6
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:19.160
in and was like, hey man, I gotta go out. And I

7
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.480
was like, all right, So
I hit stop. And then when I

8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.440
came back to your cord, I
always checked the file, and somehow the

9
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.000
mic had unplugged. So the first
few minutes of this podcast today, the

10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.560
audio is a little walky. I
used some tricks to try and bring it

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.960
up. But after Taylor Thomason,
I'm on my usual setup. Thanks Dog,

12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:45.119
Callaroga Shark Media. It's one of
those days where all of a sudden

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.159
there's a bunch of stories out of
nowhere. And I love days like that.

14
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.520
And Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with
your Daily Comedy. Knew his quick

15
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.320
stop off at late night. Most
of the country in a cold wave?

16
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.320
Is that a thing? Cold wave? Jimmy Fallon went two for three.

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.320
This first one is pretty bad.
But then he recovered fell and the entire

18
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.480
country's getting hit with an arctic blast. It's so cold in Times Square,

19
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.480
the cooks over at Bubba gump Er
warming their hands in the gumbo. That

20
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.000
one's lame, but I liked these. Next to today, I tipped to

21
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.920
Katy was shoveling outside thirty Rock and
he said, thanks, mister Fallon.

22
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.599
I said, no, thank you, mister Ramaswami. That's good Fallon again.

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.760
It's so cold. Ron DeSantis is
burning books just for the heat.

24
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.120
New topic, and I'm not even
sure why this is funny, but I

25
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.640
like the punchline from Kimmel. Donald
Trump got fifty one percent of the vote

26
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.599
in Iowa. And even though it
doesn't mean much, you know, in

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.079
twenty sixteen said Cruise won the Iowa
caucus and now he lives at the bottom

28
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.840
of an aquarium. I don't know
why that makes me laugh, but it

29
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.400
does. Jason Sidekas went on Twitter
and he started liking tweets calling him a

30
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.480
loser during the Emmys. Some of
those tweets the bear sweeping at Jason sidegas

31
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.079
You're done. One simply called him
loser. Another asked how could Apple TV

32
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.359
and Jason Sadekas, screw this up
so bad another Remember you're not getting nothing,

33
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.159
Jason Sidakis, I like that.
He liked all those. So it

34
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.319
looks like Lauren Michaels is floating his
successor saw a couple tweets about it,

35
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.000
and Variety picked up on it.
Lorn Michaels, who's got to be upset

36
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.800
that SNL didn't win any Emmys.
This kind of reminds me of Oh say

37
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.719
it, Bill Belichick that had this
awesome career in the last couple of years

38
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.319
haven't gone as well. I'm sure
Lauren is gonna really want to make sure

39
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.560
the fiftieth season is awesome, the
forty ninth season been. I mean last

40
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.199
season was terrible. Anyway, Who
will succeed Lauren Michaels when he retires.

41
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.800
Lauren said it could easily be Tina
Fay, meaning it's Tina Fay. It

42
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.960
could easily be Tina Fey, But
you know, there are a lot of

43
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.280
people who are out there. You
know, Tina's brilliant and great of everything.

44
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.319
She's a very important person in my
life. My take, she's the

45
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.919
right choice. She clearly understands the
show, clearly understands comedy clearly has been

46
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:49.400
successful, and she's tight with all
the stars who've been on SNL this century,

47
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.000
so she'll be able to call in
the favors. I think Tina fe

48
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.680
is a no brainer here. Tina
joined the series as a writer in nineteen

49
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.960
ninety seven before becoming head writer two
years later, so she understands the writing.

50
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.840
After she left SNL, she became
the showrunner of thirty Rock, which

51
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.159
she also started. Obviously, SNL
will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary with a special

52
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.680
in February twenty twenty five. Lauren
says, I will definitely be there for

53
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.759
that, and definitely be there until
that, and sometime before that we'll figure

54
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.319
out what we're gonna do. So
it sounds like Lauren's gonna do fifty and

55
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.319
out. Tina Fey is the right
choice. Deadline covered the launch of Taylor

56
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.919
Tomlinson's After Midnights. They say the
decision to keep the after midnight premiere low

57
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.599
key was by design. They want
to allow the show to find its voice

58
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.800
over the next few weeks prior to
the Super Bowl. Probably smart, Like

59
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.879
any show, including this one,
it takes a while to figure out what

60
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.400
to do with it. I was
coaching the daytime job for podcasts. Every

61
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.159
podcast listen to the first couple.
It's not quite there yet. That's also

62
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.080
true of TV shows, so kind
of smart to slow play it a little.

63
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.960
Taylor came on and said, I'm
Taylor Tolinson and this is After Midnight

64
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.680
where three comedians enter, one wins
and two will grant participating. We're taking

65
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.039
the Internet and desperately trying to make
it fun. It's gonna be fun,

66
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.199
right, comedians. You'll be competing
for the grand prize of my father's approval.

67
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.879
It's rare but winnable. The First
Comedians where Whitney Cummings a partner on

68
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.800
Tula and Kurt Braunaller. Taylor asked
the panel did they watch the Emmys.

69
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.879
Everybody was silent, and she said
there was no obligation. It was on

70
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.319
Fox. We don't care here at
CBS if you watched it. I was

71
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.960
just making sure so nobody watched the
Emmys. TV's dead great. Broun Aller

72
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.000
quipped, this will do well on
the Internet. Thomason said, I don't

73
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.160
even know what awards our show could
possibly win because it's kind of a talk

74
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.720
show where there's no conversation. It's
a game show, but the points are

75
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.600
fake. It's vanity project, but
it somehow makes me look worse. Panelists

76
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.879
what award went after Midnight went at
the Emmys. Kurt Brouneller buzzed in and

77
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.399
said best female late night host.
Sorry, only female late night host.

78
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.759
Had a segment called chick Chopped Tomlins
Send. The panelists riffed on terrible TikTok

79
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.000
cooking videos. A game was called
what I Can't Live Without? They were

80
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.199
shown random products and asked to describe
why they need it. Suburban Dictionary featured

81
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.279
real slang, like Bussin asking the
comedians he's the word a sentence. Another

82
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.319
segment to smash or not to smash? She had to pick between Mario or

83
00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:00.519
Luig, Patrick Starr or Sandy Cheeks
Garfield or chun Arbuckle gritty or the Quaker

84
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.800
oah, it's mascot obviously gritty.
And the elimination game Is this still cool?

85
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.720
They had to explain why or why
not? Animal prints are still cool?

86
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.639
Bron Aller said yes, but the
lesser known animals. Non Turlis said

87
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.240
yes because with climate change we could
remember what they look like. That's good.

88
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.720
Whitney Cummings as an aspiring cougar.
I need animal print to be in

89
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.839
style, and if you don't agree, you're not a feminist. Cummings was

90
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.920
the first to be eliminated from the
show and was asked to apologize for losing.

91
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.920
In a segment called for the Wind, bron Aller and non Turli were

92
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.759
asked to create new holidays. The
audience voted on the winter, and bron

93
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.839
Aller said, today is Harbor Day, a celebration of America's harbor's the parking

94
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.600
lots of the sea. That's Harbor
Day, not Arbor Day. Everybody knows

95
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.879
what a tree is, so what
as an arbor Day? Just shut the

96
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.720
f up and go with Tree Day, sincerely, Harbor Day up partner Naturli

97
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.879
said, Ashley Wednesday, it's ash
Wednesday for girls with bangs, nor Turlie

98
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.560
won. I like that one.
Deadline says it was a bit of a

99
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.319
slow start as they were feeling the
room. Then everyone got more punchy and

100
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.879
edgy, letting the bleeps start flying. That's an interesting note, but I

101
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.720
have to assume that did test shows
right. They probably recorded a bunch of

102
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.519
these and the booking falling off a
cliff already Wednesday, Paul F. Tompkins,

103
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.519
Sophie Bottle on Carl Tart. I'm
unfamiliar with Carl Tart. Wikipedia tells

104
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.240
me he's an American actor, writer, and comedian, best known for being

105
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.360
a featured player on the twenty sixteen
Fox Gets show Party over here. That's

106
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.399
show number two. Tonight's guests Max
Greenfield, Ike Brenholtz, and Robbie Hoffman.

107
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.040
You know Max Greenfield from Veronica Mars
and Ugly Betty. You know Ike

108
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.399
from roles like Eastbound and Down and
The Middy Project. And you know Robbie

109
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:42.000
Hoffman quote American Canadian writer, comedian
and talk show host. Robbie's known for

110
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.439
her work on The Chris Gethard Show. That's show three. I feel bad

111
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.680
for the Bookers and now I'm on
the proper Mike. John Oliver spoke to

112
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.680
Deadline about his relationship with fellow late
night host Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon,

113
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.360
Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Myers.
They all hosted Strike Force five together.

114
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.720
Oliver said honestly that and I had
less to do with the podcast and more

115
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.920
to do with the fact that the
strike was so stressful. It was nice

116
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.639
to be able to actually lean on
each other a little bit, not even

117
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.639
necessarily anything to do with the podcast, just talking to each other regularly.

118
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.879
On Zoom, John talked about back
in two thousand and eight when the late

119
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.600
night shows returned on the air one
by one, it was so fractured because

120
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.279
the hosts hated each other, and
it was really helpful to be able to

121
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.639
just lean on each other during that
difficult time. The most useful thing being

122
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.120
able before and during the strike to
constantly be in contact with each other and

123
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.079
make sure that we were all on
the same page and we could keep the

124
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.639
shows off the air. For that, it was massively useful. Oliver was

125
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.639
asked did his American counterparts use the
text chain to congratulate John on his latest

126
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.800
Emmy wins? He said, of
course. How does he feel about SNL

127
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.560
being in their category and beating them? He said, I don't think of

128
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.959
it that way. It just feels
so weird to beat these events anyway,

129
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.439
The whole thing just feels very confusing. TMZ found John Oliver and they asked

130
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.399
him about Elon Musk's recent shot at
John. Elon had tweeted, because it's

131
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.839
called Twitter, Elon about John Oliver
the reason he's not very funny these days

132
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.959
is because he's too keen to pander
to wokeness, which is fundamentally a lie,

133
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.839
whereas great humor requires revealed truth.
Oliver told TMZ, I cannot possibly

134
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.120
pretend to guess what's in that man's
mind at any time. He seems wounded.

135
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.079
He's definitely sensitive. That is a
biological fact. As for wokeness,

136
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.639
Oliver said, I don't know what
that means. I don't think he could

137
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.160
explain what that means, and I
think it means nothing. I don't know

138
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
literally what he's talking about. From
Atlanta Blackstar t K. Kirkland has called

139
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.879
out Cedric the Entertainer for stealing jokes
Love this Stuff. Cedric made headlines earlier

140
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.240
this month after Kat Williams claim that
Cedric stole one of his jokes. Kirkland

141
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.480
was on the Art of Dialogue podcast. He reacted to footage of late comedian

142
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.159
Message Taylor and Cedric the Entertainer performing
the same joke. Kirkland was asked,

143
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.879
I want you to tell me if
he stole the joke or not. Kirkland

144
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.440
said, that's stealing. He saw
bit and took it and flipped it,

145
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.679
but he was supposed to flip it, but he did it word for word.

146
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.559
That's called laziness. He believes it's
okay to draw inspiration from other comedians

147
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.200
as long as you change it up. He says, you could take a

148
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.879
bit and flip it to your I
give an example. I can watch a

149
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.320
football game. I can watch a
basketball game and create a joke just like

150
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.399
that. That's the ability to have
when people ask me, TK, when

151
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.159
do you know you're a good comedian? And I know this goes over people's

152
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.320
heads, but it's like a monk
telling another guy who's teaching karate kung fu,

153
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.519
he's gonna be great one day.
The day you could look at a

154
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.240
doorknob and make it hilarious. You
know you're funny. If you're going to

155
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.159
take something, at least change it
to make it really you. Does that

156
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.320
make said not a great comedian?
Nah, it's one joke. I shared

157
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.799
this one in the Facebook group.
Paul F. Tompkins is on the Last

158
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.840
Laugh podcast this week, and I'm
gonna pick away at this interview the next

159
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.919
few days. Paul was asked,
do you feel like there's a divide in

160
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.320
this country where politically there are comedians
on either side of the line. Paul

161
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.799
said, like most things, I
think that it's always been there, but

162
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.240
it's really been set up by a
crazy degree by social media. Because before

163
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.840
social media, when I was coming
up, there were always dudes who want

164
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.279
to tell you what real comedy was, and it was always one dude with

165
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.679
a microphone. It's a club comedy
and that's the way it is, and

166
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.279
that's the real comedy. And what
we're seeing now is that it's just jacked

167
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.879
up to one thousand people saying a
comedian's duty is to offend, and it's

168
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.399
like, what are you effing talking
about? That's not true. The idea

169
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.600
comes from speaking truth to power,
which has completely fallen by the wayside.

170
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.080
You're pretending these people are in power, like trans people saying hey, I

171
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.320
prefer you call me this, and
they're like, nope, can't let this

172
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.879
happen. It's just bullying. You're
just being a troll. You're not speaking

173
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.440
truth of power. It's all doubling
down. Like Ricky Gervais won that Golden

174
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.480
Globe and the clip is him talking
about his previous special. That's what people

175
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.879
are doing now. The comedy is
all about me and my personality. My

176
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.720
cult to personality. If you didn't
like me saying this before, now I'm

177
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.559
gonna say more of it. It's
just gonna get cheers from people, because

178
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.200
the idea is that offends someone else
or it hurts someone else's feelings, and

179
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.000
it's a drag. It's not all
of comedy, but it's the comedy that

180
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.159
gets the most attention now, which
is really unfortunate. I think there's a

181
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.960
thing where you get so wealthy that
you don't like anyone telling you that you're

182
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.879
wrong, and you have a platform, and you're gonna make it all about

183
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.840
telling people that you don't get to
tell me that I'm wrong and you're worthless.

184
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.120
And in the case of Ricky Gervais, it's such diminishing returns from the

185
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.679
office to now. It's a great
interview with Paul. The Jervas special didn't

186
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.799
bother me. I kind of got
what he was doing there. The Chappelle

187
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.039
stuff. I just can't figure out
why Dave has now quadrupled down on it

188
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.720
and this last thing that it released
on New Year's Eve. I mean,

189
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.000
there weren't even jokes in it.
I don't know what that was. I'm

190
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.679
guessing he owed Netflix a Special and
it was New Year's even time to hand

191
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.279
in the homemark. I'm guessing because
it was pretty subpar for Dave, but

192
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.480
the you know, I'm on the
record. I liked Ricky Special. I

193
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.240
thought it was pretty good. I
was pretty busy yesterday, back to back

194
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.639
bulletins on Palace Intrigue. That's the
podcast about the British royal family. Kate

195
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.080
Middleton had surgery and that got announced
all of a sudden, and then we're

196
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.639
finding out Prince Charles and me in
the hospital next week for prostate stuff.

197
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.600
So pretty busy over at Pallace Intrigue, the podcast about the Royal family.

198
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.559
Where we get your shows. The
snow Jam Comedy Festival kicks off today and

199
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.360
Sioux Falls, South Dakota forecast high
today and Sue falls seven degrees with a

200
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.799
low of zero yikes. Two shows
tonight, one of them the well titled

201
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.600
Frostbite Comedy at eight thirty. Meanwhile
at nine o'clock the equally well titled Let

202
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.639
It Snow. Also kicking off today. San Francisco Sketch Fest, which is

203
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.480
amazing. I had the pleasure of
going out there. Oh it's over a

204
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.360
decade ago now. Scott Thompson of
Kids in the Hall said, it's just

205
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.799
a very great festival. They take
really good care of you, that is

206
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.480
true, and there's all kinds of
comedy, improv, clown shows, stand

207
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.039
up. It's probably the biggest most
diverse comedy show I've ever been involved in.

208
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.600
A sidebar. I remember where we
were in some theater Marxis High.

209
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.440
The host on Sirius and I were
getting ready, maybe with testing equipment,

210
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.440
and suddenly from behind me, I
hear a voice. I clearly recognize it's

211
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.159
Jim Rash. You know him as
the dean from Community. I really wanted

212
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.240
to say hi, just because I'm
a fan. I love his work.

213
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.039
But when I'm in work mode,
you got to be professional, and it's

214
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.480
just not cool to be like,
hey, Jim Rash, I really like

215
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.000
Community. You can't get to Shelfie. There are people who do that,

216
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.559
but it's not cool. Scott Thompson
said, comedians are so often on the

217
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.799
road if such itinerant lives, We're
all over the place, and these specials

218
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.000
are really good when you get to
connect with people you haven't seen in a

219
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.480
long time. The Kids in the
Hall have two shows this year. One

220
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.279
the Kids in the Hall Unplugged on
the twenty third that will revisit favorite sketches

221
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.799
from over the years. Another one
next day is called Scenes they Wouldn't Let

222
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.759
Us Do. Those are stage readings
of sketches rejected by the networks and censors.

223
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.120
Scott Thompson himself is doing a solo
show on the twenty fifth called King

224
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.320
that is in the persona of Gay
Lounge Lizard Buddy Cole. Scott says,

225
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.919
I always like when the five of
us can get together, and I'm extremely

226
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.360
excited about doing these sketches that we
weren't allowed to do. I'm really looking

227
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.080
forward to performing these sketches and from
an audience to see if they work.

228
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.320
I mean, I know the work, I guess. I'm just looking forward

229
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.879
to vindication. The San Francisco Chronicle
has an article ten mussy events at Sketch

230
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.879

253
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.600
me, there's only one show tonight, because otherwise this podcast would be a

254
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.759
full half an hour. The one
show is Eric Idle. It's a show

255
