1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.240
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.160
comedy news. Thanks to Nichelle for sending this my way.

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.160
Or you know Camp Patterson, the guy from Saturday Night

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.519
Live that I think is one and done. Oh, he's

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.760
gonna be one and done several media reports. I'm cripping

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.039
here from Deadline. On the recent kill Tony Once Upon

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.199
a Time in Texas, which you'll find on Netflix, Cam

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.280
Patterson talked about Saturday Night Live. Now, I understand he's

9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.880
a comedian and he's on stage doing time. However, I

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.280
don't know if this was the smartest career move. I

11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.240
will clean this up a little, Camp Patterson said, I'm

12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.000
gonna be honest. I'm gonna keep it one hundred percent

13
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.439
with y'all in the nicest way possible. It's gay. It's

14
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.280
really gay. Dog, it's gay. As f understand something. I

15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.560
was on national television doing this. He then reenacted an

16
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.600
animated hand gesture. Cam said, I've shot at somebody before.

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.560
You understand me. You understand how great said that change

18
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.039
in life is. You know what's crazy. I think people

19
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.040
are more excited for me than I am for myself.

20
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.799
Though people keep saying congratulations, good job, and that's dope.

21
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.680
But understand something, bro, I'm twenty six and I'm black.

22
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.879
I've never seen the show. I have no idea what

23
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.599
the f I signed up for. Dog. I'm just kind

24
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.959
of there and listen, this stuff is not for me.

25
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.840
It's for white people. Really. They have on celebrities I've

26
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.599
never heard of in my life. We had on Glenn

27
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.200
Palett one point. I was like, who's that and they

28
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.280
were like, he's in Top Gun. I was like, never

29
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.200
seen it. And then we had on Miles Teller and

30
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:30.680
I was like, who's that and they were like, he

31
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.200
was in Top Gun. I was like, I'm on to you, fellas.

32
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.400
So we'll see how well that goes out. With Lorde Michaels.

33
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.840
I mean, it's not the worst thing anybody ever said.

34
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.120
But you know, career wise, if you have to pick

35
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.120
between Lorne Michaels, even at eighty years old, Lorne Michaels

36
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.040
and Tony Hinchcliff, depending on what you want to do

37
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.239
with your life, you probably pick Lauren there. John Oliver

38
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.719
was the guest on Trevor Noah's podcast. The discussion went

39
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.400
to Who's going to buy Warner Brothers? John told Trevor,

40
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.519
I think mergers are generally bad. I think you're always

41
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.439
hoping for the least bad option. I think the key

42
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.840
thing for us is to act with enough aggression or confidence.

43
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.840
I will act assuming nothing's going to happen. We're not

44
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.080
going to change, right. We've been behaving the way we've

45
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.120
been beaving for long enough that you can't really reason

46
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.680
with us, so there's no point doing that. Oliver continued,

47
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.400
there's gonna be question marks in all of this, right,

48
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.360
because it's very hard to justify this legally. Now, whether

49
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.319
that makes it impossible for it to happen, that's an

50
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.439
open question. I thought this was really interesting. This isn't

51
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.639
really news because this is from two thousand and eight,

52
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.319
and the man who said it is long dead, but

53
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.719
vice resurfaced this back in two thousand and eight. George

54
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.400
Carlin said whenever someone would tell him about the latest

55
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.199
must see comedian, George would get a little nervous, but

56
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.479
then check them out. He had one of two reactions.

57
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.520
One reaction was no threat there, but the other was

58
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.280
I got to get back to work. And one of

59
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.080
that I got to get back to work. Comedians to

60
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.400
George Carlin was Sam Kennison. George Carlin said, Sam Kennison,

61
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.759
because he raised his voice literally to such an extent,

62
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.439
it taught me something at the time, and it had

63
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.560
helped fuel a slight change or a significant change in

64
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.199
what I was doing. I said, oh, you have to

65
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.560
raise your voice, and I meant it figuratively. He did

66
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.840
it literally, but figuratively. The culture was getting noisy. There

67
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.639
was a din there was a lot of competition for

68
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.319
people's attention, and somehow that translated to me as I

69
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.719
have to raise the stakes a little bit.

70
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:13.360
You know.

71
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.120
I talked to Kelly Carlin about this couple years back.

72
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.199
Maybe I'll pull that and tag it at the end

73
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.719
of today's episode Gardon and Gunn, which is just a

74
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.960
wonderfully fascinating title for a website. They profiled Nate Bergatzy's Company.

75
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.280
Nate told them, as a comedian, you're afraid to take

76
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.560
time off, at least for me, I very much believe

77
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.280
I'm not owed this. The audience doesn't know it to

78
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.080
me to come, so it's something I've got to go

79
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.639
earn every single show. Every day. It gets exhausting. Some

80
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.520
days you can sleep on the bus and some days

81
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.080
you're riding in the middle of nowhere. And you know,

82
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.439
my bus driver's an amazing driver. But the roads of

83
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.120
the roads, right, Nate said of the audience, I see

84
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.240
the audience and it's all different. You see different religions

85
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.199
out there, you see different political like, whatever it is,

86
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.039
it doesn't matter. I want families to laugh at me.

87
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.639
I want them to feel safe when they go there

88
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.599
and can all be together. You should be able to

89
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.360
trust that I'm going to be that relief for whatever

90
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.280
you need, Nate explanned. Nateland he wants to help younger

91
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.000
comics get started. I want everybody to be involved on

92
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.039
the road. It's like, we should all be friends. You know.

93
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.919
We joke we got a couple guys. They're younger, but

94
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.599
they're really big into anime. They wanted to watch an

95
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.080
anime and the rest of us were like, I'm not

96
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.840
watching it. But one day I needed to watch anime

97
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.680
with them, just because Lucy Sinsheimer is the talent book

98
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.560
of for Zenies in Nashville. Lucy said most people at

99
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.040
the highest level might be like, I don't want to

100
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.000
bother with being around lower level comedians. When he's here,

101
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.040
he's generous with his time and his kindness for open

102
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.360
micers and up and coming comics. Recently, we were doing

103
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.879
a clinic with a bunch of comics and he happened

104
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.720
to be recording the podcast next door. He came and

105
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.160
talked to everybody for twenty five minutes, just giving advice.

106
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.160
Psychology Today caught up with Kathleen Madigan. They were curious.

107
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.720
Kathleen once told a story to Jerry Seinfeld on Comedians

108
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.079
and Cars where Kathleen's parents said, we're gonna watch this

109
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.800
part of your show and then we're gonna leave. Kathleen explained, Yeah,

110
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.319
my dad asked, could you just put your new jokes

111
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.480
at the beginning of your act? And she said, no, Dad,

112
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.639
that's not how it works. I can't rearrange my whole

113
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.720
act for you hooligans. I don't care if you've ever

114
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.519
seen my act, you know. I'll do it in the

115
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.360
car fee on the way home. And then he says

116
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.199
to my mom, well you want to go, and my

117
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.279
mom says, well, kind of, but not really. We'll just

118
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.680
come at the end. Pete Corielli the Gator describes himself

119
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.480
as a beer and peanut guy. He's returning to Long

120
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.720
Island on January thirtieth for a show The Gator says,

121
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.560
I'm not a fan of comedians to perform at you.

122
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.600
I like being a version of myself on stage. I

123
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.279
never wanted to be stuck in a character. I just

124
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.240
tried to be true to who I am. I always

125
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.480
felt most funny when I was hanging out. That's a

126
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.480
trade I got from my father growing up in Long Island.

127
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.639
He's an everyday guy who made people laugh with the stories.

128
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.240
I always latched onto that. I worked with Pete for

129
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.079
the better part of a decade when he was the

130
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.319
number two chair on the Jim Brewer radio show back

131
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.600
in the serious days. Corioli talked about getting into comedy

132
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.399
at Hamburger harry Is in Midtown Manhattan in ninety four.

133
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.160
After exploring acting, Pete joined an improv group. I did

134
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.199
not know that. I cannot imagine Pete Coriolly having the

135
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.839
patience for an improv group. Wow, I can't even fathom that.

136
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.319
Pete explained, I went to an open mic that Jim

137
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.040
Gaffigan and Judah Friedlander we're at. I was listening to

138
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.600
them talk about their bits, and it was love at

139
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.720
first sight. From there, I never looked back. Pete says,

140
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.160
I truly feel now there's a comic of anything worth

141
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.000
listening to until at least forty five. Once you get older,

142
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.839
you have a lifetime experience to look back on. Pete

143
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.279
is the co host of Pete and Sebastian of Sebastian Madiscalco.

144
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.680
He says, we have incredible similarities and drastic differences. Once

145
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.240
we get on the cast, we just make sure we

146
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.000
make each other laugh because we have the same sense

147
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.399
of humor. But we're like Felix Hunger and Oscar Madison

148
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.199
from The Odd Couple. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and

149
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.800
he drives a Portie. He gets manicures, and I don't.

150
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.360
I wonder if that's a new Jeep Wrangler, because Pete

151
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.079
had a Jeep twenty years ago. Remember they stole his top.

152
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.319
One day, Jimmy Carr said that being a vegan is

153
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.319
the right thing to do. Jimmy was feeling questions from

154
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.160
the audience. One asked, Hey, Jimmy, you're a progressive and

155
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.839
thoughtful guy. How come you've knock one vegan yet. Car said,

156
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.360
I was vegan forbit, and I know it's the right

157
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.920
thing to do, but also it's just a fun fact

158
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.720
that you might want to know that it's possible to

159
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.839
have a vegan diet, to eat vegan, and to shut

160
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.319
the f up. That's hilarious. He tagged it with I'm

161
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.920
not going to make jokes about vegans. It would be tasteless.

162
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.839
Jimmy Carr is very funny. If you're ever in Riodd

163
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.160
sometimes he plays the comedy Festival over there. He should

164
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.879
go see him. Now that fascism is over and we

165
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.040
can actually watch Scrubs on Hulu and ABC without having

166
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.959
to go upstairs and get the DVDs, Scrubs is coming

167
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.639
back a little over a month away. Now. People are curious, Hey,

168
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.759
in all these promos, we haven't seen Doctor Kelso or

169
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.439
the Janitor. Now, I'll point out to everybody that Ken Jenkins,

170
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.399
who plays Doctor Kelso, is like eighty five years old,

171
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.279
so aside from getting him to do the work, it

172
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.360
really doesn't make sense that Doctor Kelso would be around. So,

173
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.199
if you're curious what happens to these two characters, spoilers

174
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.199
coming up at a second, Zach Braff says there are currently

175
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.439
no plans for either to appear during season ten. Zach says,

176
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.000
the true answer is if we're blessed to have a

177
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.000
second season. Absolutely. The real answer for season one is

178
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.680
we're not really sure yet. Episodes eight and nine of

179
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.079
the nine episode order are still being written. They're both

180
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.000
interested in doing it. Do we have the band with

181
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.759
in the first nine episodes to get to it all

182
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.759
and surface the story that would be worthy of Ken

183
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.439
and Neil? That might come true? At this point, I

184
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.279
can't tell you the answer, but most definitely, if we're

185
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.560
lucky enough to get a season two, that's something we

186
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.639
want to do. Jimmy Kimmel made an offer to Donald

187
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.040
Trump he will give one of his awards to President

188
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.000
Trump if the President pulls Ice out of Minneapolis. May

189
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.319
have seen late last week that the woman who won

190
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.160
the Nobel Peace Prize handed over the award to President

191
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.120
Trump for some reason. As others have pointed out, if

192
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.079
Lebron James hands me over an MVP trophy, it doesn't

193
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.800
make me the best player in the NBA, Kimmell said

194
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.840
Trump loves awards. Giving him an award is the only

195
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.480
way to get him to do anything. And with that said,

196
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.639
mister President, I have an offer I think you're gonna

197
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.639
find difficult to refuse. If you and only if you

198
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.759
agree to pull ice out of Minneapolis and put them

199
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.159
back at the borders where they belong. Kimmel then showed

200
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.960
some of his own trophies, including a Daytime Emmy, a

201
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.240
Cleo Award, a Writer's Guild of America Award. He tagged

202
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.960
it with, or best of all, I'm willing to hand

203
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.759
over my twenty fifteen Soule Train Award for White Person

204
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.559
of the Year. The choice is yours. I personally deliver

205
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.120
any or even all of these to the Oval Office

206
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.039
in exchange for leaving the people of Minneapolis alone. We'll

207
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.279
go into the break here. Jonathan Kite does this wonderful,

208
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.559
wonderful Anthony Bourdain impression. I can't get enough of this week.

209
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.480
Anthony Boardaine went to the BUCkies, and here's a little

210
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.039
taste of that.

211
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:24.559
No pun pickles produce pastries, sauces, snacks. If you didn't

212
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:29.159
gas up outside, you will in here. Behold the Jerky wall,

213
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.919
a carnivorous curtain of beef, the only wall in Texas

214
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:34.360
everyone can agree on.

215
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.039
At noon Eastern today, the reveal for who was eliminated

216
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.600
for Week two of Comedy Survivor. There's a dramatic exit

217
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.799
in this week's show at noon Eastern. You can start

218
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.960
voting for next week in the Facebook group which is

219
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.639
Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, and in this very feed

220
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.480
you will hear the week two elimination show Comedy Survivor

221
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.320
Facebook group t O Sketch Fest, the Toronto Sketch They're

222
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.440
coming back. It's their largest lineup to date, over seventy

223
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.039
high energy showcases by more than seventy five comedy troops.

224
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.639
I was texting the other day with Mike from The

225
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.240
Letterman podcast. Now I live in the United States and

226
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.360
Mike lives in Canada, and we were talking about getting

227
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.039
together and I'm like, I don't know, man, if we

228
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.879
invade Greenland, the border might be closed. I might not

229
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.440
be able to hang out with Mike or go to

230
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.440
the Toronto Sketch Fest. So some of the sketch troops,

231
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.919
there's a lot here. I'm not going to read them all,

232
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.519
but let's see some names that seem funny too. Draculus

233
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.799
twenty four double B Sketch Troop names are always funny.

234
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.840
Bicycle jousting, big chick Energy, I like that, breen Frogs, Firecracker, department,

235
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.919
grease trap, no vowels. That's funny out of a whit.

236
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.080
It's funny, but it's funny. Sketchy Broads, that's a good one.

237
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.600
That's a good name. And the Red Hot Silly Peppers

238
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.039
Love It. Toronto Sketch Fest coming up in March. Tick Natara,

239
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.360
she's one of these people ruining Star Trek, but I

240
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.360
guess not. Everything Tignataro does is horrible. She's joining Mattel

241
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.559
Lane to headline the Lambda Legals Stand Up for Equality Benefit,

242
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.879
an event dedicated to protecting the rights of LGBTQ people

243
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.440
and everyone living with HIV. This is March fourth at

244
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.080
the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. Stand Up for Qualities

245
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.120
Designed is a moment of cultural unity, blending stand up performances,

246
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.159
musical moments, and celebrity presenters into a shared space for

247
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.320
laughter and advocacy. There are no plans for Dave Chappelle

248
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.519
to appear at this time. Chris Red he wants to.

249
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.039
I don't know what's going on with Chris Redd. He's

250
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.080
sparing his soul lately, but he wants to make sure

251
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.600
that when he had a fight back in twenty twenty two,

252
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.159
it was not with Keenan Thompson. Okay, what's the story.

253
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.679
Johnny Mack TMZ published a clip from Chris Red that

254
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.440
said that Keenan Thompson was not the person who punched

255
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.679
Chris Red in the face outside of a Manhattan comedy

256
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.799
club in twenty twenty two. Chris Redd said, no, Keenan

257
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.000
did not hit me. People took it like Keenan hit me.

258
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.399
He didn't hit me. No, a probe is still ongoing.

259
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.080
No one has been taken into custody and connection with

260
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.000
the attack on the comedian. According to the NYPD. Okay, listen,

261
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.919
a probe is not still ongoing. No one is looking

262
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.600
at this. This is New York City. You think anybody

263
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.600
at the NYPD is investigating the Chris Red punch in

264
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.200
the face from four years ago. There's zero percent chance

265
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.159
that that's happening. I don't know if you've ever been

266
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.000
to New York City. I'm from New York City. Zero

267
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.399
percent chance the NYPD is busy. Back in twenty twenty two,

268
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.600
Keenan Thompson and wife Evangeline got divorced. Benjeline then was

269
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.600
friendly with Chris Red. But Keenan definitely didn't punch him

270
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.759
in the nose. And let me get the LIFs out

271
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.840
of my voice because I'm serious here. I'm not doing

272
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.159
the bit. This from the Daily Mail. Jay Leno last

273
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.519
week in La appeared to have a swollen left cheek

274
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.200
and a bruised fingernail while out and about in La.

275
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.039
Daily Mail reported Jay was out grabbing lunch. On the

276
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.600
left side of his face appeared puffy, his middle finger

277
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.759
seemed to have some redness to it, and a black

278
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.399
nail was visible as he clutched a beverage. Now some

279
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.000
people start joking that, you know, the mob is out

280
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.960
to get Jay again. Remember he fell down the hill

281
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.240
and burned his face with the motorcycle. And I had

282
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.480
a couple like weird things going on. But much more seriously,

283
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.840
I saw some people and I'm not saying this happened,

284
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.679
but some people who are involved with Alzheimer's said that

285
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.039
sometimes people who suffer from Alzheimer's can get physical, and

286
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.600
that was one theory of what might have happened. Again, no,

287
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.360
little to my voice, not making joke here and being

288
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.600
very serious, I'm not saying that happened. I have no

289
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.960
expertise in Alzheimer's, but I'm just sharing an alternate theory

290
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.559
that I heard other than the mob is out to

291
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.679
get Jay Leno. Don't know what happened, just telling you

292
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.000
what the Daily News reported, and that is your comedy

293
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.360
news for today again coming up at newon Eastern today

294
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.840
and this very feed Comedy Survivor Week two elimination show.

295
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.159
And then assuming I found it, the next thing you're

296
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.200
gonna hear is me talking to Kelly Carlin a few

297
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.799
years back. See you tomorrow, Oh no, see at noon,

298
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.679
then see you tomorrow. I was one of those yahoos

299
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.919
at the turn of the century who listened to the

300
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.399
I guess the last two albums is like George sounds

301
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.080
angry and I have done a complete one eighty on that,

302
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.480
and he is the great prof of the twenty first century.

303
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.159
That stuff has aged so well. I go back and

304
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.720
listen to it. Just prepping for today. I was going

305
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.159
back and listening to It's the last bit on It's

306
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.080
Bad for You. It's Coast to Coast emergency, and it

307
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.799
sounds like you recorded it this morning.

308
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.879
Yeah, no one wanted to hear it, including me. John

309
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.320
was like, God, Dad, get over it. Can you do

310
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.200
some bart jokes or something? Please be goofy again, as

311
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.840
he said, you scratch a cynic. Underneath it you get

312
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.960
a broken hearted idealist. Yeah. He was a man who

313
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.279
I think was just ringing the bell so loudly and

314
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.679
saw what was coming, saw the writing on the wall,

315
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.960
and nobody wants to hear that. While the writings, while

316
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.799
the walls still look fine. Ah so everything seems fine,

317
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.519
but boy boy, did he see it all coming, even

318
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.440
stuff thirty years old. He saw it coming.

319
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.639
It's just it's amazing.
