1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.599
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.279
Jimmy Kimmel not happy with the results of the Emmys.

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.600
He tweeted, the results of the Emmys were totally unfair

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.039
in the category of Late Nit Show to exclamation points,

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.839
sad rigged polls, say I won by a lot. He

6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.079
tagged John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers on it.

7
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:31.239
I think I did when I was half asleep the

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.880
other night. Get all the winners in except the winner

9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:41.799
of Outstanding Comedy Series. The nominees Abbott, Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Murders, Palm, Royal, Reservation, Dogs,

10
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.119
what we do in the Shadows, And obviously because the Bear,

11
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.240
which is not a comedy at won like almost every award,

12
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.119
surely the Bear must be the Outstanding Comedy Series, right,

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.079
No hacks, So let me get this right. Everybody in

14
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.560
The Bear, which is not a comedy series, was fantastic

15
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.799
and won Best Comedian, m E's, Best medic Actors and

16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.359
all that, but overall the series is not the best.

17
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.560
How does that work? Loraine Newman was not happy with

18
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.200
The Bear. She said, every time I think about the

19
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.159
Bear being in the Comedy category for the Emmys. I

20
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.680
can feel an ulcer developing. I agree with you. I'm

21
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.799
also going to point out many things can be true

22
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.920
at the same time. Lorraine Newman's daughter is named Hannah Einbinder,

23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.680
who stars in Hacks. Yeah, Hanna is one of those

24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.599
low key NEPO babies. You know, if she were Hannah Newman,

25
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.319
you might be like, hey, I wonder if her mother

26
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.439
is a famous Hollywood actress. You know, use somebody else's

27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.799
name and nobody notices. Doesn't mean you're not tented. I'm

28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.079
just saying it's a little easier to get a better agent,

29
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.040
and if you have a better agent, you know what's

30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.519
actually going on. And there's also a little bit of

31
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.239
like a you know, hey, fellow radio executive friend, would mind,

32
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.599
you know, giving my kid an internship. That kind of

33
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.159
stuff happens. Doesn't mean you're not good at it. But

34
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.280
let's be real, a lot of Neppo babies out there

35
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.560
right now in Hollywood. Wow, no luck for Larry David

36
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.680
and curb your enthusiasm. Curb if it is indeed over,

37
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.120
and it looks like it is has ended its run

38
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.480
as the show with the most outstanding Comedy Series nominations

39
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.000
eleven without a win. Kerb was nominated for four Emmys

40
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.800
this year, including Outstanding Comedy Series Loss Outstanding Lead Actor

41
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.520
for Larry David a Loss in the End. Kerb went

42
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.039
twelve seasons a total of fifty five Emmy nominations. They

43
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.719
won two Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy

44
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.080
Series in twenty twelve and for Directing way back in

45
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.199
two thousand and three. Maya Rudolph seth Meyer's Kristen wig

46
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.560
and Bow and Yang were the presenters for the Award

47
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.719
for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. Before they gave

48
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.319
the award to Alex Edeman, they gave the business to

49
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.639
dear friend and mentor, Lauren Michaels, who's been nominated for

50
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.639
and lost the Emmy eighty five times. He's never won.

51
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.280
Kristen Wiggs said, Lauren, look at me. You do a value.

52
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.080
You are worthy, you or not, and have never been

53
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.840
a loser, even though you lost a lot. Maya Rudolph said,

54
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.919
each and every one of those eighty five times you lost,

55
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.159
you were rob bow and Yang said, Lauren, it gets better.

56
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.520
Just because SNL didn't work doesn't mean your next idea

57
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.400
won't keep dreaming. I like how he said Lauren, because

58
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.080
anytime I run a transcript on this podcast, anytime I

59
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.960
say Lauren, it comes up as Lauren. It often also

60
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.960
transcribes my own name as Chenny max eh e n

61
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.439
n Y Mac. John Stewart won the twenty third Emmy

62
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.879
win of his career. So was he part of this Emmy?

63
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.360
I feel like this was the year he wasn't on.

64
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.759
I'm confused anyway. He's reconsidering his future with The Daily

65
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.919
Show and said, my feeling is this election will never end,

66
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.280
so why would I leave? How could I leave? I

67
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.240
won't be allowed to leave until this election. So we're

68
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.319
all on ground to some sort of calcified nubs. We're

69
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.159
looking forward to being awful. Now. This article here says

70
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.080
the Daily Show's name best talk Series for the second

71
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.120
year in a row after Trevor Noah's final season. Last

72
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.840
night's award marked Stuart's first Emmy win in over decade.

73
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.120
But wasn't there a full year of no John Stuart?

74
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.039
I'm confused anyway. Stewart gave the acceptance speech, so I

75
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.280
guess he did win. He said, to have the opportunity

76
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.199
to work with this incredibly talented group once a week.

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.439
It really made my mondays, adding that Ronnie Chang, Michael Costa,

78
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.360
Jordan Klepper, and Dozzi Leidek kick ass. Michael Ian Black

79
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.800
part of Have I Got News for You on CNN.

80
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.280
I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll

81
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.919
watch that on the DVR maybe tonight. Black posted a

82
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.479
note of gratitude to his sub stack a few hours

83
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.039
before filming the first episode, thinking about the fact that

84
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.040
it's been literal years since I had a steady TV

85
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.480
gig and the fact that I was ready to give

86
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.079
up entirely when this thing fell into my lap. Most

87
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.639
of us are just trying to figure out something about

88
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.319
ourselves in our world. Maybe that sounds high falutin, but

89
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.160
isn't that the nature of all art To cast our

90
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.160
line into the wide waters of the world and see

91
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:30.959
what we catch. Isn't that the crux of being a human?

92
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.360
He then joked how the show we'll probably be canceled

93
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.399
in six to eight weeks. Yeah, I'd love to have

94
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.639
for the same kind of culture cachet that John Stewart

95
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.399
did during the Bush years on The Daily Show. That's

96
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.920
sort of did you hear what John Stewart said, if

97
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.480
we get at some of that, I'd be thrilled. I'm

98
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.600
not an activist. We'll never be an activist because I

99
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.040
don't have those kinds of organizational skills. I don't have

100
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.439
the kind of footwear where I'm going to be out

101
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.639
here marching around holding up placards and shouting this is

102
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.680
what democracy looks like. It's just not me. But I

103
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.639
do think I can make contributions the way I make contributions,

104
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.920
which is by saying dumpsty on Twitter or now on CNN.

105
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.639
Colin Joe spoke about the ferry he bought with Pete

106
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.360
David Seddon and said is absolutely the dumbest and least

107
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.839
thought it through purchase I've ever made in my life.

108
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.160
The way I justified it is for the amount of

109
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.800
money we're putting it in a buying it on just a

110
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.040
basic square footage level. If he found the right place

111
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.800
for it to be, you were essentially buying a building

112
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.319
on its side that's sixty five thousand square feets around

113
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.920
New York. That's a very good price per square foot.

114
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:25.959
Despite two years of renovations, it still looks like a

115
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.959
Staten Island ferry. Joe said it's possible the ferry could

116
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.079
still end up being functional as a boat. It would

117
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.079
just require a staff to run it. That he was

118
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.800
not sure that's something he wants to worry about. He joked,

119
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.079
I'm sure our insurance company would love it. Maybe they'd

120
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:40.279
love it because it would get them out of the

121
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.519
contract because it requires a lot of people to move it.

122
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.720
At this point, the ferry has to be Doctor two.

123
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.439
The engines aren't operable, but Joe said it could be

124
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.160
operable within weeks if they wanted it to be. He

125
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.360
said he had soft floated the idea past his wife,

126
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.879
Scarlett Johansson. She was just like, wait, so you own

127
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.959
this boat now. She obviously sees the value in it,

128
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.519
but I also think she's like, it's interesting because now

129
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.560
it's becoming a defining thing for you guys and an

130
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.639
interesting thing for you guys. So you should take it

131
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.720
seriously and figure out the best version of it, because

132
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.680
for better or worse, it's gonna reflect on you. Joe said,

133
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.399
we don't care because we're comedians. Deon Cole's got a

134
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.680
Netflix special tonight or today. I don't know what time

135
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.639
do they post these things. They probably post them at midnight.

136
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.439
It's probably up now. I want you to watch it now.

137
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.959
This one is called Okay Mister Dion Cole recalls the

138
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.160
telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, dating deal breakers, and more.

139
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.120
This was filmed back in May as part of the

140
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.639
Netflix As a Joke Festival. Jessica Kerson is getting a

141
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.839
special on Hulu. By the way, I saw that Hulu

142
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:46.319
is branding their comedy things huluius as in hilarious hilarious,

143
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.759
as I posted on threads where I'm at Daily Comedy News.

144
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.800
Did no comedians say to the Hulu executives, Dude, that

145
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.279
is really hacky? Or is the money that good? Anyway,

146
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.079
Jessica Kerson is getting a special. The premier date is

147
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.120
being kept under wraps as if it's like some big secret.

148
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.680
That to me means they're planning on signing some other

149
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.879
people and they don't where they're gonna slot Jessica yet. Like,

150
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.480
for example, if they sign I don't know, Dave Schappelle

151
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.319
and Joe Rogan, maybe they'll move Jessica's date. That's what

152
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.800
that means. In a statement, Jessica Curson said, I'm honored

153
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.519
to be part of the Disney family and that Hulu

154
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.839
has chosen a feature MYNX special as part of their

155
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.560
comedy initiative. People always ask me, is it hard to

156
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.839
be a female comedian? I always say, I don't know.

157
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.560
You should ask them. Hularious kicks off in November with

158
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.920
Jim Gaffigan. They've also signed up Bill Burr, Roywood Junior,

159
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.319
Alana Glazer otsco At Coonska. They are not messing around.

160
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.360
Kathy Griffin believes for President Trump would quote pick comedians

161
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.879
off one by one if elected to another term. She

162
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.040
fears a list of personal targets, including comedians. She said,

163
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.240
He's gonna pick us off one by one like bowling pins.

164
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.000
And I'm not kidding, and I'm not being paranoid. You're

165
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.079
being paranoid. Verd Oz will host the International Emmys, which

166
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.160
apparently is a thing. Who knew they take place November

167
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.240
twenty fifth. Where would you host the International Ms? Please?

168
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.360
New York City. I mean, I guess New York City

169
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.199
is part of the world. I just thought that get

170
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.639
a little more international. Who knows Viewers says, I'm so

171
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.439
happy to be hosting the International Emmys. It's a massive,

172
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.839
prestigious night to uphold makers from across the world that

173
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.399
I believe is making the best content I know firsthand.

174
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.879
It could be life changing. And The Holly Reporter wrote

175
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.959
an article about Late Night and they spotlighted some numbers.

176
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.680
Five years ago, the Late Show finished first in total

177
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.160
viewers with three point eight one million, Jimmy Fallon had

178
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.920
two point four to four and Kimmel two point zero

179
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.600
four million. In twenty twenty three, slash twenty four, Late

180
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.879
Show was down to two point six million. Again, that

181
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.039
first number was three point eight that's a decline of

182
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.200
about thirty two percent from twenty eighteen. Kim Will moved

183
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.720
into second with one point eight two million viewers, still

184
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.600
down eleven percent. He also had a Monday night football

185
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.360
lead in once a week. Fallon down the third one

186
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.679
point four three million, losing forty one percent of its audience. Wow.

187
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.279
At twelve thirty, seth with nine hundred and eighty three

188
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.080
thousand viewers was down by about four hundred and seventy

189
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.639
thousand viewers. That's thirty two percent. Feels more like half.

190
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.799
I guess it's not. Somebody's better at math than I am.

191
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.159
After Midnight is averaging about seven hundred and thirty thousand viewers.

192
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.080
Over its first five months, Bryan Stettler reported in LA

193
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.679
magazine that James Corden's show was losing fifteen to twenty

194
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.639
million dollars per year. Yeah, that's why you don't replace that. Yikes.

195
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.840
And that's your daily comedy news for today. If you

196
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.519
enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might

197
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.080
like it too. And if you would like this thing

198
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.480
without commercials, check the link of the show notes. So

199
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.639
I'll tell you how you can do that, and I'll

200
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.360
see you tomorrow
