00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.759
daily comedy news. Jim Norton tweets Cracker Barrel is going
3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:16.839
to keep their original logo, The old Man is staying
4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.719
on the logo. Holyes, what a victory. Take a moment
5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.199
to give yourselves a round of applause. No joke there,
6
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.239
but it was good to hear from Jim Norton. I
7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.320
just watched Kill Tony on Netflix. I have some notes,
8
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.000
but I'll start with the Jim Norton part. I thought
9
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.600
Jim was pretty funny. I thought the material was better
10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.560
than what the audience gave him back. I did have
11
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.880
a visceral reaction. Now, I've worked with Jim both at
12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.039
Sirius Exam and then on the UFC podcast, and as
13
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.000
I looked at Jim and went out, Jim looks like
14
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.240
ten years older, and I realized I probably looked ten
15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.479
years older too. But I haven't actually seen or been
16
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.600
in a room with Jim Norton in quite a few years.
17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.280
At this point, I have come to the conclusion I
18
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.079
like to Kill Tony podcast a lot, because when I
19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.600
listened to the Kill Tony podcast, I'm listening at two
20
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.079
point three speed and I have thirty second skip at
21
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.159
my disposal. As for Kill Tony on Netflix, I don't
22
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.200
think it's working. If they're going to do it as
23
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.680
a Netflix special, they can't just do the normal thing.
24
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.120
Even if they're at Madison Square Garden. It needs a producer.
25
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.200
Here's my note. So I watched the most recent episode
26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.120
on Netflix and it was seven and a half minutes
27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.280
before a comedian took the stage. That's an eternity. We
28
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.799
don't need all the intros and all that. And then
29
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.799
the first comedian that they picked out of the hat
30
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.959
was terrible, So you know, that's a lot of barrier
31
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.200
to entry to a casual. Kill Tony doesn't need my notes.
32
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.159
They're doing just fine. They were selling out Madison Square Garden.
33
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.319
But in terms of a Netflix show, it needs a
34
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.480
little help there. That sound you heard last night was
35
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.319
me screaming at the TV. In the new episode of
36
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.000
Star Trek Strange New Worlds, Patton Oswald too normally. I
37
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.480
really like Patton Oswald played a vulcan. The Vulcan's name
38
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.120
is Doug. If you understand Star Trek, you a don't
39
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.879
write for Strange New Worlds, and B understand why I'm annoyed.
40
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.400
If you don't understand Star Trek, just trust me, it's
41
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.840
really really annoying. Maybe I'll dive into Star Trek next
42
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.840
week on the DCN eight Bonus Episodes. Bradley Cooper has
43
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.360
a movie coming out. It is the story of how
44
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.280
John Bishop got into comedy. It is called Is This
45
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.039
Thing On? I will be curious as it gets closer
46
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.800
to see how real life comedians nitpick the movie's depiction
47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.439
of stand up comedy. They usually have a problem with that.
48
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.759
The film is directed by Bradley Cooper. It is based
49
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.840
on John Bishop's story of getting in a stand up
50
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.479
after his marriage broke up. Will Arnett plays Alex, who
51
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.680
seeks a new life in the New York comedy scene.
52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.120
Laura Dern plays the wife. Comedian Chloe Radcliffe, who plays
53
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.840
a stand up comedian in the movie, said, I think
54
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.879
Will and John sat next to each other at a
55
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.599
dinner ten years ago and Will heard a story and
56
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.240
was like, that rules I want to do that someday.
57
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.199
So anyway, that's the movie. Cooper's in the film himself,
58
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.080
playing Will Arnett's character's best friend. Also appearing in the
59
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.960
movie Peyton Manning Why I don't know Green Day or
60
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.759
putting out a comedy why, I don't know. They're working
61
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.080
on a wild road trip comedy titled New Year's rev
62
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.000
Green Day Promises. The movie is packed with your favorite
63
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.080
Green Day songs as well as quote loaded with mischief unquote.
64
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.960
Some of the stars of the film include Fred Armisen
65
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.879
second mentioned in Two Days, Jenna Fisher from The Office,
66
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.759
Angela Kinsey from the Office, comedian Bobby Lee. The film
67
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.319
will make its world premiere September twelfth at the Toronto
68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.439
International Film Festival. The description is a garage rock trio
69
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.719
gets the opportunity of a lifetime to open up for
70
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.800
Green Day and hit the road across America and make
71
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.319
the gig. The only problem is they didn't realize it
72
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.319
was a prank. Johnny Mack, you never mentioned Mark Maron.
73
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
I know rights he caught up with people. Maren is
74
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.840
a beginning to do promotion for the documentary Anxiety Club.
75
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.000
Maren said, there's a lot of things I don't give
76
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.520
a hoot about that I used to do. There were
77
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.159
big anxiety producing things. I think with age and certainly
78
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.520
with money, a lot of that stuff is just sort
79
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.199
of Nolan Void and it's a relief. In the documentary spoiler,
80
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.319
Maren reveals that his anxiety stopped him from having children.
81
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.759
Maren said, I'm not sad about it. My panic and
82
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.479
worry level operates in just such a way that it
83
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.719
just seems like a nightmare to me. He has accepted
84
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.039
his anxiety, saying, what do you think we're gonna do? Like,
85
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.039
if you're incapacitated and your life is unmanageable for whatever reason, yeah,
86
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.560
you should fix that. If you're uncomfortable, but you're okay,
87
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.839
that might just be you. The podcast turns sixteen years
88
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.160
old on Monday. Sixteen years It's a long time. It's
89
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.399
a long time doing anything, And certainly I've said recently
90
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.720
while I'm living it and I don't feel like time
91
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.319
is passing by quickly, But all of a sudden you're
92
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.879
old and you realize you've been doing something for a
93
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.160
long time. Jimmy Fallon has yet another gig, and I
94
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.959
think as lame as this idea is, this gets into
95
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.240
Fallon does a lot more things for NBC than Colbert
96
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.759
did for CBS. I don't know if Colbert was unwilling,
97
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.000
perhaps CBS never asked, but factually Fallon does a lot
98
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.680
of these things. A new show on Brand with Jimmy
99
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.399
Fallon places Jimmy Fallon at the head of his own
100
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.959
advertising agency. He's joined by Chief marketing officer Bozoma Saint John,
101
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.160
who I'm supposed to know who that is. Apparently she's
102
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.160
someone on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hill. On brand,
103
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.720
she'll act as mentor and judge, guiding contestants, so I'm
104
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.920
wondering what Jimmy Fallon does on the show. The competitors
105
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.360
will pitch to companies, including a famous rum company with
106
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.360
a pirate on it, at National Donuts chain that I
107
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.160
sometimes go to, and some others. The show's winner will
108
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.439
receive one hundred thousand dollars, which sounds like a lot
109
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.639
of money, except I looked up from website Simul Media.
110
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.319
They say NBC gets two hundred thousand dollars for a
111
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040
thirty So if we show one ad, we've paid off
112
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.199
the grand prize. I know we did this production company
113
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.079
costs and write ups, and Jimmy Fallon salary and the
114
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.360
nice lady from Real Housewives of whatever I said. They
115
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480
all got to get paid. But two hundred thousand AD
116
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.480
is the low rate for NBC if you want to
117
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.560
advertise on Sunday Night Football, Simul Media says that will
118
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.639
cost eight hundred and eighty two thousand dollars for a
119
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.680
thirty Anyway, when you win this show with Jimmy Fallon,
120
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.600
you'll receive one hundred grand minus taxes, a feature and adweek,
121
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.279
a VIP trip to the can Line's International Festival of Creativity,
122
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.959
and the title Innovator of the Year. I've got a
123
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.199
must read for you, Gary Krueger. If you're of a
124
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.560
certain age, remember Gary Krueger from Saturday Night Live. I
125
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.560
wouldn't be surprised if a lot of you were like, who, well,
126
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.920
he's got a substack, so do I. My link is
127
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.720
in the show. No, it's Gary Krueger and have tipped
128
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.720
a late nighter for putting this on my radar. Gary
129
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.959
Krueger was reacting to the Devin Walker departure notice, and
130
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.160
Krueger said, when I was at SNL from eighty two
131
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.160
to eighty five, women struggled unfairly to get material in
132
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.079
the show. The show, by nature is competitive and egos
133
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.839
are equal parts fragile and inflated. Every week and feel
134
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.839
like your career was just made or just sank to
135
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.800
a depth no rescue vehicle can reach that can create
136
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.319
a toxic ripe environment. Now I'm going to point out
137
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.360
that was during the Dick Ebersol years, not the Lorne
138
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.879
Michael's year. So apparently it's been a toxic environment at
139
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.279
least more than once, according to people on the show.
140
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.199
Gary Krueger writes, I have few regrets, but I'd be
141
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.879
lying if I say I'm okay with the fact that
142
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.480
producer creator Lorn Mikel treats the Dick Eversoll years when
143
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.680
I was with the show as if they didn't exist.
144
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.360
I agree with Gary there, they do act like those
145
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.120
years mostly didn't exist, and he makes some great points
146
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.000
here coming up. I believe that Cold Shoulder is rooted
147
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.000
in the same toxicity Walker refers to. It's an imbalance
148
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.360
of perception that starts at the top, not because of
149
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.879
any public or industry reverence for the Eversol years, but
150
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.639
because of a shortcoming in Lorne Michaels, who ignores the
151
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.240
fact that others have contributed to a show. I have
152
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.439
no relationship with Lorne Michaels, and I've never met him.
153
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.079
I've passed him in the hall at SNL reunions, and
154
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.160
then Gary drops the bomb and he goes, No one,
155
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.680
not even Michaels, can overlook the fact that Eddie Murphy
156
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.800
emerged from a show called Saturday Night Live when Lauren
157
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.560
was not at the helm. I've never heard that point
158
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:47.240
made before that Gary Krueger is a great bleeping point.
159
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.079
Gary goes on to say who else was on the show? Julia,
160
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.279
Louis Dreyfus. Gary writes, Lauren doesn't even include five years,
161
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.079
one hundred shows as part of his SNL package. Very
162
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.199
rarely does anything from that aeroshow up in a reunion retrospective,
163
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.519
but the stars are asked participate in the live portions.
164
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.800
I'm always a little surprised in fact that I get
165
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.040
a ticket to the gallery unions every five or ten years,
166
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.680
But I do, I think because other people involved with
167
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.160
the show and NBC do care. The staff always treats
168
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.879
me another second or are we third? To your cast members?
169
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.079
Very well, fans of SNL and podcast revolving around the
170
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.000
show regard the eversol years is simply that particular era,
171
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.800
but not a different show. They love and this is
172
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.079
a good list, and that was the SNL I got
173
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.360
into I was a little young for the original cast,
174
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.720
and even that Gene de Mounion what is her name?
175
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.039
That season, the really awful season, but go I was
176
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.519
watching the Gary Krueger years and Gary says, people like
177
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.440
me love Joe Piscopo, who I think has just been
178
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.720
totally overlooked and deserves better. Joe Piscopo, Tim Kazerinski, Robin Duke,
179
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.879
Mary Gross, Brad Hall, Christine Ebersoll, and even Gary Krueger.
180
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.519
And he asks why no respect from Loren Michaels. Just
181
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.080
In as I'm recording the show, Emil Jakeim has announced
182
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.279
he's leaving SNL. I don't even have this in my script.
183
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.600
I'm reading it off my phone. On it Instagram, he
184
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.279
posted I won't be returning to SNL next year. He
185
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.919
was a gut punch of a call to get but
186
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.799
I'm so grateful for my time there. He did one
187
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.799
season one and none for him, and I feel bad
188
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.559
for the folks at Late Nighter dot com who thought
189
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.000
they were taking this week off. No, you're not getting
190
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.879
a little long here. I wanted to tell you about
191
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.399
Joe Coy. He's probably really excited about Taylor Swift getting
192
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.080
engaged he may recall one time Taylor Swift was too
193
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.600
cool for school and couldn't possibly smile at a Joe
194
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.120
Cooy joke. I won't play it for you right now
195
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.240
because we're getting along. You probably know the story if
196
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.320
you've listened to this podcast before. But I feel bad
197
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.519
for Joe Coy. He's up in Canada and he said,
198
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.360
I'm a coffee guy. I love it. I can't function
199
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.519
without coffee. I love the adventure of finding like a
200
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.200
real coffee shop. But I don't want to go to
201
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.080
a chain. I don't want to go to Starbucks. I
202
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.000
want local. And he's got a story about going to
203
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.440
see Ozzy Osbourne's last show, but I will bounce that
204
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.480
to tomorrow because I want to tell you what the
205
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.080
worst person in the world, Jay Leno, is up to.
206
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.000
You know that guy, I mean the nerve of that
207
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.120
guy'd have an opinion about late night comedy. What does
208
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.840
he know about doing comedy or or hosting a late
209
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.279
night show? And then he chimes in on the whole subject.
210
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.320
And that's why everybody he's mad at Jay Leno, who
211
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.320
is the worst person who ever lived. Apparently, Jay, if
212
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.480
you're listening, it's not how I feel it's a bit
213
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.559
On the most recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, which
214
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.200
you can find on YouTube, he was at with Jeff Dunham,
215
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.000
you know, the Puppets guy. They took a tank for
216
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.440
a test drive on southern California streets. Jeff Dunham, who's
217
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.519
sixty three now, jumped in the driver's seat of the
218
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
tank to learn how to handle the tank. It's apparently
219
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.480
steered by using two levers and a foot operated transmission.
220
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.039
Jay Leno, who's seventy five, highlighted some of the features
221
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.039
of the tank, including the seventy six millimeter main gun,
222
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.919
the smoke grenade launchers, and the periscope used for driving
223
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.039
when the hatch is closed. It is a nineteen seventy
224
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.080
two Alvis Scorpion, a light duty tank capable of reaching
225
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.440
fifty one miles an hour. One social media comment or
226
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.639
said about the worst person in the world. I knew
227
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.679
Jay just loves about everything with a motor and wheels
228
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.960
as much as anyone, But this is a dude is
229
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.159
living his best life in retirement. The President of the
230
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.519
United States took to social media two in the morning
231
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.799
and wrote, there's a sick rumor going around that Fake
232
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.399
News NBC extended the contract of one of the least
233
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.480
talented late night television hosts out there, Seth Myers. He
234
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.000
has no ratings, talent, or intelligence, and the personality of
235
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.840
an insecure child. So why would fake News NBC extend
236
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.039
this dope's contract. I don't know, but I'll definitely be
237
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.840
finding out. And is what the president is up to
238
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.559
these days? Beck Bennett told a story about the President
239
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.720
to The Last Laugh podcast. He was talking about the
