Kevin Hart lightly fires back at Katt Williams! John Mulaney's ex writing a book! Netflix boss defends Dave Chappelle

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.519
Callaroga Shark Media. Ay. Quick
joke from Jimmy Fown, who said,

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.439
the good news for Nicky Haley She's
only fifty two, which means she can

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.440
run for president at least eight more
times. I am Johnny Meck with your

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:24.559
daily comedy news. Ted Sarando's he's
the Netflix CEO. He was on David

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.280
Spade and Dana Carvey's Fly on the
Wall podcast and he talked a little bit

6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.359
about Dave Chappelle. David Spade told
Ted, when you come out and say

7
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.799
I do back a comedian saying what
they want, it doesn't mean you agree

8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.079
with it, just means let people
talk. I think that's commendable, Especially

9
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.240
we're comics. We like that.
Ted compared Netflix to a bookstore, saying

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.640
you can open any book you want
or not. People like to think about

11
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.079
all kinds of diversity except for diversity
of thought, and comedy is one of

12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.079
those places where you should have a
pretty open playground to figure out ideas.

13
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.840
Ideas have to live through conversation.
I think comedy is a great place to

14
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.600
start the conversation. Spade said.
Some people don't agree, some people do,

15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.600
and it's under the guys of a
joke. Ted said, keep in

16
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.280
mind we try to do a lot
of variety because Netflix itself people like some

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.159
shows and not others. That's why
we have so much to watch on Netflix,

18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.599
because tastes are really diverse, and
certainly within comedy. The point I

19
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.959
was trying to make when people got
angry was the idea, if you don't

20
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.480
like that idea, switch it and
find another one. True. I'm gonna

21
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:26.879
just point out my Netflix algorithm did
not surface the Hannah Gatsby special, and

22
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.359
in the Facebook group, which is
Daily Comedy News podcast group, Aaron posted,

23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200
I had to actively search for this
too, and I'm trans and a

24
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.359
freaking comedian, so I don't know
what the algorithm's doing. Sarando says his

25
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.319
position on Chappelle Gate comes from being
a fan of comedy. I came to

26
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.200
this completely as a fan. I
love creative people. I love what you

27
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.719
do for the world, and for
me, it's what makes me bounce out

28
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.120
of bed in the morning because I
feel like I'm doing something that matters to

29
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.239
people. Really. Alarm goes off
at seven fifteen, You're like, oh

30
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.560
man, I got it. Brings
people some comedy specially you just hop out

31
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.159
of bed uh huh spades. He
doesn't always agree with comics to go too

32
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.439
far, but he admires them for
coloring outside the line, saying there trying

33
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.879
stuff. It's not the same six
jokes that everyone's allowed to use. Sirando

34
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.439
says comedy is an art form.
There's a lot of different shapes, and

35
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.240
if you do shock comedy, the
hard thing is getting the audience back.

36
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.159
So it's a different kind of art
because it's not just a cheap laugh.

37
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.039
You actually have to ring the audience
back in too. You have to be

38
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.439
a master of a lot of things. Sarando's revealed that he got Chappelle to

39
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.360
sign the Netflix deal on the same
night Dave hosted SNL a few days after

40
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.719
Trump won the presidency. He said, we'd been talking to him for well

41
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.280
over a year, and he said
at that show, my contract is signed

42
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.280
and sitting on the seat. So
he just signed it, said it on

43
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.280
the seat, and went out and
hosted the show. The Wall Street Journal

44
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.159
has a really good profile of Kevin
Hart. Two parts here. The second

45
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.840
part about his entrepreneurship, but the
first part he commented on Kat Williams.

46
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.759
You may recall Kat Williams had some
comments about basically everybody in comedy. The

47
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.159
journal throughout the word at feud,
and Kevin said, it's just entertainment.

48
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.280
If that's what he feels himself off, God bless him. Good for him

49
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.840
hard edit. I hope he gets
all that he needs and he wants,

50
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.080
and I'm cheering him from afar.
The profile is what a former coworker of

51
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.159
mine used to say. Is the
Wall Street Journal waxed Kevin Hart's car if

52
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.960
you know what I mean? And
they're say thirty am Kevin's home in la

53
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.360
He had gotten up at five for
workout, three hours after his plane landed

54
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.360
from a performance in Connecticut the night
before. He hugs his three year old

55
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.800
Next up a ten thirty meeting with
Heartbeat employees about the company's twenty twenty four

56
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.400
agenda. Jerry Seinfeld is quoted saying
Kevin's ability to maneuver in other fields as

57
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.120
an anomaly. Quoting Jerry, most
comedians cannot function outside of comedy. If

58
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.599
someone said the word ideation of me, I would just walk out of the

59
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.080
room. Kevin said, I do
know what I've done for the craft of

60
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.240
comedy. By that, I mean
I've changed the business of stand up comedy.

61
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.680
Whether you're a fan or not,
you have to respect what I've done

62
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.400
point blank, because you don't do
it by accident, and you don't stay

63
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.879
here by accident. That is true. The article is pretty much thing from

64
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.400
a comedy standpoint. Talking about the
genesis of the latest special last October,

65
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.960
the president of Live Nation got a
text from Kevin. Kevin said, I

66
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.759
got a new thirty minutes. That
chunk of material started with drop in performances

67
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.680
at small clubs, including the Comedy
Seller in New York. Then in Providence,

68
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.960
Kevin performed for an audience of about
three thousand people. A staffer who's

69
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.279
a videographer filmed the set, and, as The Wall Street Journal tells us,

70
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.519
as the comedian breedes through seemingly polished
jokes and Providence, he was also

71
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.480
stress testing them. When big laughs
erupted, he sometimes gazed to his left

72
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.920
and grinned. Hidden off stage,
watching from the wings were two members of

73
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.639
his team who were in Heart's creative
brain trust. Kevin said, that little

74
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.519
piece of eye contact from the stage
is how they know. Let's jot that

75
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.519
bullet point down. Very interesting there. John Mlaney's ex wife, Anna Marie

76
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.399
Tendler, has a book coming out. It's called Men have called her crazy.

77
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.120
On her Instagram, she said,
I've been writing this book for two

78
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.399
years. More accurately, though,
I've been writing it for close to four

79
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.240
decades. I've never been more proud
of any work. It's a story about

80
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.800
mental health, about being a woman, about family, and finally about the

81
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.480
endless source of my heart break and
rage. Men. One of those men,

82
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.399
one assumes this is John Mulaney,
so this could get pretty interesting.

83
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.879
The book will be out in August. Drod Carmichael is going to star in

84
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.360
a comedy docu series for HBO.
It's called Drod Carmichael Reality Show. And

85
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.800
the trailer he's talking to a man
in a black ski mask, which I

86
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.680
thought was weird. I honestly didn't
make it all the way through the trailer.

87
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.439
I just got bored and didn't care. But people on the interwebs say,

88
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.720
given the body language of the person
in the black ski mask, they

89
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.959
believe the person is Carmichael's frequent collaborator
Bo burnham Bert Kreischer announced a whole bunch

90
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.160
of dates for the twenty twenty four
Fully Loaded Tour. Not all these comedians.

91
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.040
I'm about to name her on every
show, but featured on the website.

92
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.040
Bert Kreischer, of course, David
Spade, Mark Norman, Tony Hinchcliff,

93
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.879
Whennie Cummings, Stavros Halkias, David
Tel, Ralph Barbosa, Big,

94
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.360
Jay Ogreson, Dan Soder, Matt
McCusker. That's a really good list of

95
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.759
comedians, you know, if you're
not going to get them all, but

96
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.160
any combination of those, that's a
really good show. Sef and Maz GREBROWNI

97
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.000
have been added to the inaugural Abu
Dhabi Comedy Week in May. Other people

98
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.800
performing at that comedy Week the not
so canceled Disease, I'm sorry, Tom

99
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.759
Si, Goora, Andrew Santino,
Bobby Lee, and boy this is shocking,

100
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.399
super controversial comedian Joe coy You may
recall Joe coy Or recently made this

101
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.920
horrible, terrible joke about Taylor Swift. A big difference between the Golden Globes

102
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.360
and the NFL. On the Golden
Gloves, we have fewer camber shots of

103
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.360
Taylor Swift. I swear all right. A couple of notes from putting together

104
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:41.839
the show today, I am seeing
a story involving a comedian who I frequently

105
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:48.639
mentioned on this podcast. It involves
the comedian, Hollywood executives and favors,

106
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.680
you know, the Harvey Weinstein kind
of favors. I don't want to go

107
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.800
there. I haven't seen it from
anything reputable, and people are saying the

108
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.040
maybe perhaps the person telling the story
made it up. Just want to let

109
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.639
you know I see it, and
if it's real, I will actually talk

110
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.600
about it. As I was prepping
as well, I saw a slug with

111
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.079
a comedian. I don't want to
throw this comedian out under the bus because

112
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.480
I like the person, but comedian
name the story was. It had the

113
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.920
person's name, so it said,
you know, Joe Smith, famous comedian

114
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.439
coming to wherever. And I was
like, you're a good guy whatever,

115
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.959
but famous comedian. I don't know
about that. If I told you the

116
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.639
name, you wouldn't know the name. But at one point, at serious

117
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.199
exam, we gave this person a
pilot and it was pretty good. But

118
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:44.600
then the next day my coworkers and
I got like so many incoming inbound,

119
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.759
like oh my god, that was
the most amazing thing. You got to

120
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.519
sign this up. Like I don't
mean like three or four, I mean

121
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.639
like hundreds. It was just like
a completely unnatural reaction of just everybody in

122
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.319
the world going, oh my god, this is the greatest thing ever.

123
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.199
You got to give this person a
show and we just walked away from it.

124
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.600
Was like, come on, there's
no way that's real. Stop doing

125
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.160
this a long time, folks,
I know how to recognize normal patterns.

126
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.399
At south By Southwest tonight at seven
o'clock, it is the stand up Comedy

127
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.519
Kickoff, which the south By Southwest
website list has stand up Comedy Kickoff parentheses

128
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.639
stand up comedy. Thank you for
clarifying that the description comedians take the stage

129
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.720
for the first stand up show of
the twenty twenty four Comedy Fest. And

130
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.759
I love this disclaimer that the lawyers
most have said to put. Programming descriptions

131
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.399

necessarily reflect the opinions of south By Southwest.

132
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.320
Yeah, you don't want to controversial
take like comedians take the stage to

133
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.799
be You don't want to say that
that's gospel. What if that doesn't happen,

134
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.039
What if it's not a stage,
what if they're not comedians. We

135
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.159
could get in a lot of legal
trouble here. Anyway, I better protect

136
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.519
myself. According to the Internet.
Some of the performers who could theoretically show

137
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.360
up include Doug Benson, napoleonny Emil, John Riddinsky. Remember he was on

138
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.639
SNL for like five seconds. He
was a Montreal new face that I really

139
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.840
liked a lot. But yeah,
he was in like three sketches on SNL,

140
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.559
Yamanika Sauners and Rich Voss at seven
point fifteen. It's the variety power

141
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.879
of comedy. You know, this
is another wax job, another car being

142
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.799
wax job. This year's Honoreezer samb
Robbie pra that's the guy from Netflix Comedy.

143
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.039
He's getting the Comedy Champion Award,
Nick Kroll and Andrew Reynolds getting the

144
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.879
Comedy Duo Award. Sambi, I
forgot to mention is the comedy innovator,

145
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.080
Yeah, John, like Wuizamo's the
comedy actor. Yeah. Hannah Einbender Comedy

00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.080
This website's a lot of fun.

156
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:30.120
mean by that parentheses with James Adomian
and friends. Your cast includes James Adomian

157
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.960
and Matt Besster. That sounds like
tons of fun. Nine o'clock good sets

158
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.360
parentheses stand up comedy if you're a
nice picture of a crowd that looks like

159
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.440
it was generated by Ai laughing at
the comedians. The description, which it

160
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.759
doesn't necessarily represent the opinions of south
By is who doesn't like good sets?

161
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.519
See what they did there. Some
of the strongest emerging and established comics at

162
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.799
the fest take the stage for an
unmissible line up Chris Fleming, Stuart Goldsmith,

163
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.039
Luisa o'mealan, Zulce, Sloane and

Smigel, and Lucia Aniello come together

166
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.080
to swap stories and insides about the
craft of directing comedy. Okay, that's

167
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.559
a fun night out at South by
Joe mchil says that he dislocated Chevy Chase's

168
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.240
shoulder while filming Community. He was
on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast.

169
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.919
By the way, Michael Rosenbaum my
former intern. I'm going back to like

170
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.720
nineteen ninety three, and Mike the
Intern kept telling us he was gonna go

171
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.120
to Hollywood and be a star,
and we were like, shut up and

172
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.639
make copies. We weren't like Shadow. He was a good guy, like

173
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.919
Mike a lot. Anyway, you
know, a couple of years later,

174
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.919
I'm watching Smallville and there he is. He's Lex Luthor. So Mike the

175
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.279
Intern, he was right, Thank
you for getting me coffee. Anyway,

176
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.279
Michael has a podcast called Inside of
You. The guest Joel McHale, and

177
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.960
he says that he and Chevy Fist
fought multiple times filming community. It was

178
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.320
pushing and shoving. Yeah, it
was advanced horseplay. It was fun.

179
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.279
It would get a little contentious.
I got in trouble one time because I

180
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.120
injured him. I dislocated his shoulder, according to Joel, while they were

181
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.480
filming a boxing scene, when Chevy
encouraged him to hit harder. As Joel

182
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.559
tells the story, he wanted me
to punch him as hard as I could.

183
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.039
It punched him in the hand with
the left and then he went down.

184
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.639
Speaking of fighting of sorts, Jamine
Feller is going to co write,

185
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.759
executive produce, and star in untitled
single camera comedy. He's got a script

186
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:30.360
com inment for Fox. The description
of untitled single camera comedy is after a

187
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.879
self inflicted fall from Grace, a
former jiu jitsu champion played by Jamine Feller,

188
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.159
his only shot at redemption is to
check his ego at the door and

189
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:43.279
start from scratch at a low rent
strip mall dojo. Feller started training in

190
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.720
jiu jitsu during COVID. He said, when the pandemic hit, I had

191
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.879
nothing to do. I was bored. I always wanted to try martial arts.

192
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.919
It's a beautiful sport. It's gruesome, but it's so beautiful. He

193
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.559
was a white belt. He won
one fight out of four. That's your

194
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.480
comedy news for today. If you
liked the program, tell a friend about

195
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.799
it. They might enjoy it too. Tomorrow I'm going to do an Oscar

196
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.039
preview, a lot of talk about
Jimmy Kimmel, some funny Joe Coy material.

197
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.159
At least I made myself laugh,
and then Sunday will be a normal

198
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.159
episode. I just want to do
the Oscar preview on Saturday to give it

199
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.639
a half a chance with two days
of sea as opposed to like ten hours.

200
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.480
See tomorrow,
