Caalaroga Shark media.
2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.439
Today me a little different because of the stories. I
3
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.160
didn't go out of my way to do a special episode,
4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.399
but there's interesting stuff out there. We'll get a little political, yeah, Shahi.
5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.199
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I was
6
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.920
on social media and somebody pointed out about this comedy
7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.920
concert coming on September tenth. Told you about this yesterday,
8
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.839
New York City, still rising after twenty five years, A
9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.240
nine to eleven Charities comedy benefit at Madison Square Garden.
10
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.640
Told you the details yesterday. John Stewart and Pete Davison
11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.719
putting this together, and somebody pointed out the lineup. Okay,
12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.399
you're ready as he's in. Sorry, who played the re
13
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.600
Odd Comedy Festival, Bill Burr who played the Reodd Comedy Festival.
14
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.799
Dave Chappelle who played the Reod Comedy Festival. Ronnie Chan
15
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.000
who played the Reodd Comedy Festival. Isn't this lineup curious?
16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.560
Pete Davidson, whose father Scott Davidson was killed on nine
17
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.560
to eleven. Pete Davidson played the Rio Odd Comedy Festival.
18
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.519
Nikki Glazer, who did not play said festival. Josh Johnson
19
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.799
who did not play said festival and of course John Stewart,
20
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.879
and we're told plus special guests. But isn't that interesting?
21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.760
The first three, four five names on the thing are
22
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.359
also played. New York City still Rising September tenth, Madison
23
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.560
Square Garden. It's the twenty fifth anniversary of the terrorist
24
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.280
attacks on New York City on September eleventh, two thousand
25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.000
and one. They say, never forget. I'm now finding people
26
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.680
are in their mid twenties and have no memory of
27
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.959
this and don't feel it the same way us older
28
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.920
people do. I'm wondering if New York City Mayor Mumdani
29
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.519
will be invited, and will he come, and if he
30
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.560
does come, what the reaction will be. I don't want
31
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.599
to get too political today, but that could be an
32
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.280
interesting situation. Speaking of Mayor Mumdanni, and he's been in
33
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.959
the news all week. One of his supporters is comedian
34
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.560
Mary Beth Barone. She had a Netflix special earlier in
35
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.439
the week and she went on the Not Kidding podcast
36
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.280
with Mitti, his son. They made a little montage of
37
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.280
some of the things they talked about. Here's Mary Beth
38
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.360
barn How did you get involved supporting Mamdani. I felt
39
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.280
like this was a good person to put in front
40
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.360
of as many voters as possible.
41
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:15.639
You slid into Zoronsda.
42
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.520
I slid into Zoronstian. What do you think of all
43
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.319
the socialist wins recently. I think they had clear platforms
44
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.240
and they campaigned well, it's actually not that hard, I
45
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.520
don't think. Mary Beth Baron was also asked what she
46
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.360
thinks of the Democratic Party establishment and she said, I
47
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.560
think they should retire so they can trade stocks to
48
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.560
reckless abandon go out on your boats and live your
49
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.759
lives and your mansions. Just get out of politics because
50
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.800
it's ticking me off. Last week at the JFL Montreal
51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.240
Just Relapsed Comedy Festival, it was the annual State of
52
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.520
the Industry this year, giving the State of the Industry,
53
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.120
where Jay Jorden and Jermarco Sirraisi. John Marco was going
54
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.719
to put that out on his YouTube channel. That was
55
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.199
happening between me recording this and you hearing this. I
56
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.919
assume it's actually up now if you want to go
57
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.479
look for it. The folks at Deadline it took some
58
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.439
notes while they were there in the room with them.
59
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.159
I'll pick away at this Jay Jorden said, we're two
60
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.520
of the few comedians who were skinny before Zimpeic. Sarasi said,
61
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.120
we're like if John Mullaney and Gerrod Carmichael. We're willing
62
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.599
to do this. Jorden said, we decided to take a
63
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.159
note from the successive heated rivalry and have one actual
64
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.080
queer guy and a straight guy who will play gay
65
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.400
as long as it advances his career. Saisi. Neither of
66
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.039
our teams wanted us to do this gig. I just
67
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.479
wish they showed the same restraint around Riod Trenmarco again.
68
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.840
We're both former Just for Laughs New Faces, which used
69
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.159
to launch comedy celebrities and now just gets you employed
70
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.120
by Just for Laughs. Trenmarco again. As we all know,
71
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.639
JFL went bankrupt and came back as a weaker version
72
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.439
of what it once was. It should be readamed the
73
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.560
Dane Cook Comedy Festival. Wow. Trenmarco again, and you could tell.
74
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.120
I mean, if you've listened the show, you know I
75
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.639
love him and these are really funny with me reading them.
76
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.960
Trenmarco again. Some people judge Tony Hinchcliff for opening a
77
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.360
Trump rally. I judge him for bombing a Trump rally.
78
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.680
That's like me bombing at a Tony Awards watch party. Jordan, Oh,
79
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.159
let me set the record straight. A lot of people
80
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.680
say that Tony's gay. I know Tony isn't gay because
81
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.240
he's not funny or interesting. They talked about Tony Hinchcliff's
82
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.280
new special. John Marco said, did he film the new
83
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.800
one in Montreal? Because it had just four laughs? That's great.
84
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.439
They talked about Shane Gillis. John Marco seventy six thousand
85
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.319
people at one show is insane. Say what you will
86
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.160
about his politics. Shane's done more than any Democrats to
87
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:17.879
get Ice off the streets. We could end the whole
88
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.439
immigration problem if he co headlined with Gabrielly Glacias. That's hilarious.
89
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.560
Nate Berghatzy the subject, John Marco crushing here. We gotta
90
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.319
watch this. I'll pull some clips. When he posted, John
91
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.199
Marco said, Nateperghatzy where summer now? Calling him Jeff Fox Newsworthy,
92
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.240
that's awesome, portrayed many fans when he appeared at the
93
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.240
UFC match on the White House Lawn. But that wasn't
94
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:38.839
nearly as bad as when he told his fans to
95
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.879
see his new movie Breadwinner in theaters. Breadwinner was so
96
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.439
bad people were praising Colin Joe's performance. John Marco again.
97
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.639
Theo Vaughn is the only comedian whose haircut is worse
98
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.319
than Nottscoes. Some other comedians got name checked John Marco again.
99
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.040
Since this State of the Industry addresses started, Elisa Dick
100
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.839
has released four new stand up specials. Jay said, and
101
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.240
at the same time, Joss Johnson has released four specials.
102
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.839
Explaining those specials to white people and final topic, Carlosmancia
103
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.920
Jay Jordens said, Carlos Smith see it was charged with
104
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.279
tax evasion. The irs are the only people who didn't
105
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.000
forget about him. Great stuff there, guys, all right? The
106
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.160
AV Club caught this one. It is the Comedy Fee Tracker,
107
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.519
a new project from comedy journalist and critic Seth Simons
108
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.680
using public information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
109
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.759
The Comedy Fee Tracker is a searchable database of talent contracts.
110
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.240
This is fun. Simon saw the AV Club via email
111
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.120
that the project began with an investigation into SNL's return
112
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.600
to live audiences during COVID. Five years later, he's amassed
113
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.920
a nice quote little library of information by requesting receipts
114
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.360
from public venues. Do you want to know how much
115
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.160
everyone makes? You? Do? And I do too? All right?
116
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.959
Louis c. K apparently makes anywhere between one hundred and
117
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.600
seventeen thousand and two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars
118
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.439
an hour. According to this report, Adam Devine fifty one
119
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.079
five hundred for an hour of comedy at the University
120
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.319
of Florida. His opener Adam Ray spelled r y here,
121
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:02.800
So I don't know if it's the same one pulled
122
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.839
in five hundred dollars for an hour. I guess that's
123
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.120
a different to Adam Ray. Simons writes, maybe this is naive,
124
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.040
but it shocked me to see that Colin Jost was
125
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.000
getting paid seventy thousand dollars to do an hour of
126
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.720
stand up at the University of Illinois, and that his
127
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.680
openers were getting five thousand dollars apiece. This is going
128
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.879
to cause a lot of trouble. This is going to
129
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.480
upset people. Chris de Leiah made one hundred and thirty thousand,
130
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.680
nine hundred and nine dollars reportedly for a two twenty
131
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.279
three show at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon. Now,
132
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
if you want to check this out yourself, it is

thirty eight. Kevin Hart two documented records, twenty thousand and
138
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.600

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.199
call you back if helped him early in his career,
140
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.879
he doesn't care. Between seventy five thousand and one hundred
141
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.839
and fifty four thousand, eighty dollars, according to five dot
142
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.560

Seinfeld one documented record from twenty twenty three, six hundred

Vaughn two records two forty two sixty nine to two

seventy seven nine eighty five. In October twenty nineteen, John
151
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.079
mulaney performed at the University of Rhode Island's annual Family Weekend,
152
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.519
earning a fee of one hundred forty thousand dollars. A
153
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.959
few days later, writes Seth Simons, mulaney headlined the homecoming
154
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.079
show at the University of Maryland, which paid him one
155
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.800
hundred and seventy five one thousand dollars again humors in
156
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.160
dot XYZ. So if you're wondering how much your favorite
157
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.720
comedians make, now you.
158
00:07:52.759 --> 00:08:04.319
Know comedy stock Market, Thank.
159
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.879
You, Bert Reynolds. Maybe I should do some more homework
160
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.800
on that comedy. How much everybody made trackery thing I
161
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.839
just told you about, and see who we should actually
162
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.600
be investig in. Apparently there's good money in Colin Joe's
163
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.160
all right, my recommendations this week. Last week I gave
164
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.759
you eight, I only have three this week. They are
165
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.399
Mary Beth Barone. Now I'm not digging what she's selling,
166
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.120
but it seems like they're trying to make her a
167
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.800
thing and the idea here is to find value in
168
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.600
the comedian. So let's buy a little bit on Mary
169
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.120
Beth Barone, but just a bit again, I'm not feeling it.
170
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.840
Let's buy some Stavrels. Halky Is why John, because of
171
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.960
the story I bumped from the script. It didn't actually
172
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.919
read you. It was gonna go before the break. But
173
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.360
we're getting a little log, so you'll have to listen
174
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.440
over the weekend to see why we're buying some Stavrels. Halkias.
175
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.519
The short version is he's got a new special coming out,
176
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.600
and I am doing a normal episode tomorrow. I had
177
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.720
some ideas for some deep dives, and I wasn't feeling
178
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.320
any of them, and I don't want to force any
179
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.879
of it. So Tomorrow's a normal episode. Sunday's a normal episode,
180
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:04.159
and let's buy some Jimmy Fallon. Here's why we'll segue here.
181
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.360
So we're buying Mary Beth Borone, buying stoppers, and buying
182
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.600
Jimmy Fallon. USA Today was one of several publications that
183
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.679
wrote a nice fluff piece about Jimmy Fallon his pr
184
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.960
People are getting the message out there, and USA Today
185
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.279
tells us Jimmy Fallon is experimenting with new formats, including
186
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.399
a short form micro drama series. Yeah. Remember earlier in
187
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.039
the week Comedy Central they had their thirtieth aniversary of
188
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.399
The Daily Show and they're like, hey, we're putting out
189
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.919
a new micro series, and Jimmy Fallon went yes, so
190
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.559
are we. First USA Today tells us Jimmy Fallon can't
191
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.480
sit still. Part of the problem is that he has
192
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.000
spilled salad dressing on his khaki pants more than a
193
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.360
few drops, a hand sized explosion. You know, salad dressing
194
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.799
on khaki pants is gonna look like a whole thing.
195
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.759
You know what I'm saying, you do. I don't have
196
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.000
to describe it to you. That's gonna be a problem.
197
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.519
We are told that, at age fifty one, Jimmy knows
198
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.639
he needs to be healthy, hence the salad. His lunch,
199
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.519
we're told, was pura vita salmon with avocado. Sleek silver
200
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.320
weights taunt him from the floor of his corner office
201
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.600
at thirty Rock. There are counterbalance to the cookies and
202
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.440
large bowl of popcorn on his oval table where his
203
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.840
Tonight Show writers meet regularly. This is quite the fluff piece. Congratulations,
204
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.440
pr Team Jimmy and his team have been busy. The
205
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.639
Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon is coming off a major
206
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.360
week with the World Cup and most of the stars
207
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.919
of the Odyssey coming. By all this, Johnny Mack will
208
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.159
point out why Jimmy Kimmel took the summer off. Jimmy,
209
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.679
nobody likes summers off more than I do. Believe me,
210
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.840
I took Friday off and pretape the whole weekend on Wednesday.
211
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.960
I feel you, Jimmy Kimmel, but you're opening the door
212
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.200
for Fallon to come in. And Jimmy Fallon is a survivor.
213
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.679
Maybe Kimmel doesn't care. Maybe Kimmel is walking away, but
214
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.519
I don't think so. If somebody hands you the Late
215
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.240
Night Crown, grab it, or Jimmy Fallon's gonna take it
216
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.600
from you. Back to the USA Today article, they're right.
217
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.399
The double whammy led to viral hits, including a retelling
218
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.720
of the Odyssey in sixty Seconds and Holland Versus Holland,
219
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.840
in which Jimmy Fallon compares the Spider Man star to
220
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.519
the Norwegian soccer star that pushed Jimmy Fallon to Number
221
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.840
one adults eighteen forty nine. Now I hadn't seen that
222
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.200
reported elsewhere, but I don't think USA Today would make
223
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.679
that up. I know it was close when I ready
224
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.320
the numbers from Late Night or the other day. On Monday,
225
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.960
Jimmy Fallon launched the show's first micro drama, one of
226
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.200
those ultra short, fast paced video series with one to
227
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.720
two minute episodes shot vertically four smartphones. Jimmy said, it
228
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:17.960
seems to be the kind of the trend, so we
229
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.320
wanted to spoof it as soon as we could, beating
230
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.039
the Daily Show to the punch. Well done, Jimmy says,
231
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.240
I don't even know if it's funny. I could take
232
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.360
a guess. We're told with Colbert's departure, Fallon feels some
233
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.519
responsibility to carry Late Night into the next generation. Jimmy says,
234
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.960
the idea of it is that just someone that you
235
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.360
can talk to, that's there for you, that you can
236
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.039
laugh and you know what's going on in pop culture
237
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.840
in the world. I think that's just needed. They look
238
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.240
back at Fallon taking over the Tonight Show from Jay
239
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.279
Leno back in twenty fourteen. I know in your mind
240
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.399
you think he took over for Conin, but no, remember
241
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.679
jay Leno came back. Yeah, Fallen said, I remember coming
242
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.480
out the first night. I wanted to explain everybody who
243
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.080
hadn't seen the Tonight show what it is. These are
