John Oliver on KateGate, new Demitri Martin special, Kyle Kinane on career choices

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Jimmy Fallon said, I can't wait for March Madness.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.960
I can't wait to see who wins
and how it's connected to a conspiracy about

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.519
Taylor Swift. Uh watch out,
Jimmy. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

4
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.519
comedy news. We are back to
normal now. Thank you so much for

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.000
the notes. I got a lot
of notes on the side, and case

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.280
you missed it, my mother passed
away last week. Thank you. On

7
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.719
Late Night, Jimmy Kimmel started talking
about my favorite topic, Kate Gate.

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.439
What's going on with Kate Middleton?
As you probably know, I'm the writer

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.920
on the podcast Palace Intrigue and boy, the numbers are just off the chain.

10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.240
About Kate Gate, Jimmy kimbl said, shows you how different it is

11
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.240
in the UK. Kate goes missing
for a few weeks, the whole country

12
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.159
goes berserk. Meanwhile, we haven't
seen Melenia since twenty twenty one. John

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.520
Oliver on his show said a certain
someone's Adobe free trial expired in a pretty

14
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.960
public manner. Manity Fair is wondering
if John Oliver is teasing a deep dive

15
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.040
into the CAD's Middleton controversy. Oliver
was on What What Happens Live. Andy

16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.599
Cohen asked, what's going on in
Ky Middleton? Oliver said, I was

17
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.000
out. I thought let's just ignore
this. We've moved on until the photoshop

18
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.959
thing. It feels like you're almost
handling it badly in an impressive way.

19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.159
At this point, Oliver joked,
there's a non zero chance she died eighteen

20
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.200
months ago. They might be weekend
at burning. This situation non zero.

21
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.719
I'm not saying it happened. I'm
saying it's non zero until proved otherwise,

22
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.040
until you see her with a copy
of the day's newspaper. Back in twenty

23
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.400
eighteen, he talked about Megan Markle
and said, I don't think you have

24
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.959
to have seen the pilot episode of
The Crown and get a basic sense that

25
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.359
she might be marrying into a family
that could cause some emotional complications. I

26
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.959
mean, they're an emotionally stunted group
of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly

27
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.400
pseudo job. That's what she's marrying
into. So I hope she likes it.

28
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.280
It's gonna be weird for her.
He was very prescient. Meanwhile,

29
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.280
the UK comedians having some fun.
Joe Lycett was one of the comedians at

30
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.200
an event at Royal Albert Hall.
Before he set he'd jumped down in the

31
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.719
audience to experience their view. He
noted he had never been to the Royal

32
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.159
Albert Hall. Trivia question how many
holes does it take to phill it?

33
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.599
Think about that one? John Lennon
has your answer. He got his assistance

34
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.319
from security, get back on stage
and choked, I feel like a royal

35
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.840
and then said where is she?
Which got a big laugh. He added

36
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.879
wrong place to say that, I
imagine. Later in the night, comedian

37
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.840
Paul Chaldry he joked about his confusion
at people who edit their images on dating

38
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.560
apps and later have to explain why
they don't look the same in real life,

39
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.599
and he joked, who edited your
pictures? Kate Middleton? So much

40
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.039
fun, palace intrigue. Wherever you
get your shows. There's a great new

41
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.800
website called latenight or dot com.
They cover late night. It's in the

42
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.879
name. You could have figured that
out without me telling you. Therefore,

43
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.319
Desi Leidick has described Stephen Colbert wrote
an email a long time ago. The

44
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.919
email was to Rob Wriggle, and
it's been passed down from one generation of

45
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.680
Daily Show correspondence to another. She
said, Rob passed it along to Al

46
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.719
Madrigal, Al passed along to Jordan
Klepper, who passed it along to this

47
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.759
generation. What's in the email?
Desi said, they're really good pointers,

48
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.639
like know the three things that you
really want to get from the interview subject

49
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.000
and don't leave until you get them. But she pointed out it's not that

50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.439
easy. Colbert had the advantage of
being brilliant at everything he does. Dmitri

51
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.000
Martin will have a special all of
a sudden next week. Yeah wait,

52
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.319
that's not next week, John,
That's slightly more than a week from now.

53
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.759
April second is when Dmitri Deconstructed comes
out. There is a trailer.

54
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.919
I'll just play a snippet because he
said a couple naughty words. But notice

55
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.639
on this trailer the bass music very
reminiscent of one of Mitch Hedberg's albums that

56
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.840
has the base on it. I
think it's Strategic Grow Locations that has the

57
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.000
base on it, and this really
reminds me of that. Plus, Dimitri's

58
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.560
delivery is already in the Hedbergean Ballpark, so very interesting choice here, and

59
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.120
can't be accidental. Someone must have
pointed that out right. Yes, let's

60
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.159
listen. My friend asked me if
I ever went swimming with dolphins. I

61
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.000
said, yeah, definitely. I
mean, what distance are we talking about

62
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.360
from the dolphins? I'm pretty sure
I swam with all of it the last

63
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120
time I was in the ocean.
Apparently, Butttel has a special company in

64
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.960
Netflix as well. I don't think
I've seen a proper announcement of that,

65
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.639
but March twenty sixth on Netflix.
We'll keep an eye out for that.

66
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.360
Maybe a little announcement at some point. Kyle Knain is on the Last Laugh

67
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.600
podcast. Some good advice from Kyle. He says, as a comedian,

68
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.800
you get really locked into your surroundings. Everybody from New York has jokes about

69
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.160
the subway, Everybody from LA has
jokes about auditions, and you sometimes forget

70
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.519
there's a whole country between those two
cities. When I would visit my mother

71
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.279
in the facility every day, she'd
be like, did you see the person

72
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.560
was pushing for the subway? And
I'm like, no, I live in

73
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.680
New Jersey. I don't watch New
York news, I don't read the New

74
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.399
York Post. I have no idea
what you talk about? Did you see

75
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.639
the ooh creepy? You know what
just happened? After I did that little

76
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.000
not quite impression of my mom,
I got a notification audio device has been

77
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.439
disconnected from your computer. My mic
crept out right, then weird, Hi

78
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.639
mom, Kyle said, what's really
important to me is work life balance.

79
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.000
The whole hustle culture like you have
to sacrifice your entire existence for success.

80
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.319
I don't subscribe to that idea of
success. Your life is yours, It

81
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.800
doesn't belong to an industry. He
said. The first peak of his career

82
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.399
was around twenty ten. Maybe there's
another one coming, I don't know.

83
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.000
That was when Comedy Central asked him
to come in and record a few promos.

84
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.199
He became the voice of Comedy Central. That was around the time we

85
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.720
created Comedy Central Radio and Kyle did
the liners for that radio station, which

86
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.439
I created. Kyle said the network
never gave him a contract, but just

87
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.040
kept bringing him back week after week
and year after year. Kyle said,

88
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.480
right away, my expectations were set. You have it, but you're not

89
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:31.839
gonna have it forever, but you
have it for now, so be grateful.

90
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.439
Before Kyle the job belonged to Pengulette, and he said, I don't

91
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.839
want to be stealing anybody's job,
but I think he's probably doing all right.

92
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.959
I think he's got to mansion in
Vegas or something. Kyle was the

93
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.079
voice for about a decade, and
then he started hearing from comedian friends that

94
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.120
Comedy Central was booking auditions to replace
him. He jokes, I lost it.

95
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.639
How I got it? Good thing. I wasn't spending the money because

96
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.759
I knew it wasn't going to be
forever. They also asked him about why

97
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.800
Comedy Central has fallen by the wayside. Is the phrasing and he said,

98
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.360
if I had answers like that,
I wouldn't be talking to you from a

99
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.040
basement in Portland. Again. Hopefully
you can hear in my voice today.

100
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.920
I'm in even in my jokes about
the microphone that I am feeling. Okay,

101
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.759
thank you so much. I got
so many notes from listeners. Again,

102
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.680
thank you. Becky went to buy
me a coffee dot com. Now

103
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.120
I'm not here to shill for coffee. I just want to thank Becky.

104
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.399
She did go there and bought me
five coffees. I won't do the full

105
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.920
you RL today because it's not about
trying to get a coffee out of you.

106
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.160
I just want to thank Becky for
doing that, and she also sent

107
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.120
me a note thank you very much, Becky. Speaking of the National Donuts

108
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.920
chain, when I was there this
morning, I was walking out, and

109
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.639
you know who held the door for
me, Evil bill Ingvall. Now,

110
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.319
if you're a relatively new listener,
Evil billing Vall is a guy that kind

111
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.600
of looks like Bill Angvall, except
he as a goateee, you know,

112
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.800
like the mister spock Er evil abed
thing if you have a go tee,

113
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.480
or the evil version of the real
version. Now, I know this joke

114
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.600
makes no sense because actual bill Ingvall
often has a go tee. But this

115
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.360
character is Evil bill Ingvall nailed the
door for me, and dude, he's

116
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.680
super nice. He was like super
friendly. He's like, hey, man,

117
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.639
I have a great day. So
not so Evil bill Ingvall. But

118
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.360
his character is Evil Billing That's who
he is. David tell Is on Mark

119
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.879
Marin's podcast this week. I did
not get to listen to it yet for

120
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.079
reasons well discussed. John Oliver on
SmartLess also haven't gotten to it yet.

121
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.759
At some point I'll listen to those
and I'll pull some clips. Apparently,

122
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.160
Oliver told these SmartLess guys he's not
interested in acting again, saying I haven't

123
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.079
done a lot of acting, and
I think when I have done it,

124
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.319
I'm not sure I would call it
acting. And I remember Jonathan Banks,

125
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.240
legitimate actor, came up to me
before Seen and said, I just wanted

126
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.040
to talk about what our characters are
doing before this, and I had to

127
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.519
tell him, Oh, Jonathan,
I'm just going to say these words in

128
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.680
the funniest possible way. Banks said, you know when actors act opposite a

129
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.360
tennis ball, I'll be that ball
for you. John Clees is on Bill

130
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.720
Maher's podcast. I haven't listened to
it yet for reasons well discussed. He

131
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.480
said he has used a medium to
communicate with the Lates Graham Chapman. Apparently

132
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.279
Clees hired a psychic to quote explore
his consciousness, but found himself communicating with

133
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.000
Chapman. Clees claims the medium referred
to facts that she couldn't possibly have known.

134
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.279
She said, who's Graham? And
I said he's probably Graham Chapman.

135
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.319
She says he's going on about a
pipe. I said, but yes,

136
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.040
he always smoked a pipe. Then
she said he's rolling up his trouser leg

137
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.639
and I said, oh, that's
a sketch we did about the Freemasons.

138
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.240
Bill Maher was like, maybe she
saw the sketch and Clee said, no,

139
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.680
it's only been aired once or twice. The sketch first aired in nineteen

140
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.399
seventy and it's been viewed two million
times on YouTube. On Cleesa's next visit,

141
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.519
the psychic said Graham was waving a
monkey with a strapeytail. Now you

142
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.000
may not know there is a lemur
named Clees's wooly lemur named after him.

143
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.079
I've told that story in the past. But Clee said, there's no way

144
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.799
she would have known that. John. Maybe she listens to Daily Comedy News.

145
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.039
She said, why is he showing
this to me? He says,

146
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.559
it's named after you, and I
said, no, it means that that

147
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.720
species of lemur is named after me. There's no way she would have known

148
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.440
that except for the two million views
and even me mentioning it. Mill Maher

149
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.440
said, are you sure it wasn't
in the twenty five Things you Don't Know

150
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.320
about Me and US magazine, because
that's the kind of thing you might get

151
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.320
there. That sounds fun. I
will have to listen to that. A

152
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.559
DC Sketch Fest starts tonight, Executive
producer Isaiah Heaton told WTOP when they first

153
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.519
started this thing, we'd been traveling
around the country going to sketch fests all

154
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.679
over and we wanted to bring one
here to Washington. We've been growing a

155
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.759
lot the last couple of years.
There's so many new teams, so it

156
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.320
felt like the right time to bring
the community together to showcase the talent and

157
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.159
invite our friends from all over the
country to come participate. One hundred performers

158
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.799
from twenty two comedy troops from all
over the US and Canada. Apparently there's

159
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.360
some regionality. Heaton says. The
Seattle teams tend to be very silly and

160
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.919
wacky, whereas the New York teams
are very sharp, so you're getting a

161
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.960
mixed flavor palette of styles of comedy
that kicks off tonight. Boy, I've

162
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.600
got ten more stories since a get
too. That's what happens when you pre

163
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.519
taped four episodes in a row.
Don't worry, the weekend's coming. I'll

164
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.679
get to the ball. Let's see, let's do gossip Corner and then we'll

165
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.039
get out of here. On gossip
Corner, Kevin Hart was spotted at Jeff

166
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.639
Ruby's steakhouse. No word on what
he ate or not. I thought he

167
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.399
was like mister Vegan now hmm.
Trevor Noah looking for a new place in

168
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.200
New York City. Apparently he was
spotted checking out a three bedroom, three

169
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.960
and a half bath unit asking seven
point four million dollars in building on Tenth

170
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.279
Street. Design details include oversized arch
windows, barrel vaulted ceilings, custom millwork,

171
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.799
and views of the Hudson River,
Statue of Liberty and Hudson Yards.

172
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.080
Bill Maher has broken up with Talent
Agency CAA after not being invited to the

173
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.039
co chairman's Oscars party. And as
if the recent week wasn't terrible enough,

174
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.279
Adam Sandler movies are going to be
released in Imax. Oh my goodness,

175
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.720
what are you people doing to me? Luckily it's not a terrible Adam Sandler

176
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.840
movie. It's the good one,
uncut Gems in Imax May twenty second.

177
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.519
If for some reason you want to
do that, that's a thing that exists,

178
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.480
and that's your comedy news for today. I'm glad to be back.

179
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.039
