00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.759
Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. The news
3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:14.480
goes in waves. We're gonna get a lot of Pete
4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.160
Davidson and Eddie Murphy as they have an Amazon movie
5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.839
coming up. Now, we're getting a lot of Mark Maren
6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.359
because he's got his special out on HBO on the
7
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.600
first plus the documentary, plus his podcast is coming to
8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.239
an end, and he has revealed who he would like
9
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.039
to be the final guest. Maren said, if we could
10
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.119
get President Obama back, that would be good to give
11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.479
us a little hope or some sense of reflection, ground
12
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.640
us a little bit. I could see Obama absolutely doing that.
13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.640
That first Obama appearance. I actually use it in my
14
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.799
college classes if you listen to it as a podcaster.
15
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.320
When Obama first shows up, he's in President Obama mode,
16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.159
but Maren gets him so comfortable. At one point, it's
17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.280
just Barack hang out in a garage and they're just
18
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.759
having a real conversation. Then Obama gets back into presidential
19
00:00:57.759 --> 00:00:59.159
mode and I got to get these points in but
20
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.039
in the middle there, it's beautiful how he just gets
21
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.359
him out of president politician mode and just a guy.
22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.359
Whatever your politics are. It's a really interesting study of
23
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.719
the art of podcasting. Judy last week that there's a
24
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.239
bad blood between Maren and John Stewart, and Maren has
25
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.200
said he won't ask John again out of pride. Maren
26
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.560
weighed in on Colbert Gate, saying the timing was bad.
27
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.359
It seems there was a political element, at least an
28
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.439
appearance to a certain degree. The messages that if corporations
29
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.040
are going to buckle to the whims of an autocrat
30
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.159
and authoritarian, then all the art and what we know
31
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.359
is freedom of expression is compromised. The writing's on the
32
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.120
wall for late night in general because people don't watch
33
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.480
TV like that. I felt like a make sure both.
34
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.200
I don't think it's a complete fabrication that it was
35
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:37.799
a business decision, but the other part of it, in
36
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.120
terms of trying to piece of this monster president that
37
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.319
should not be done. Show business is shrinking. People are
38
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.040
entrepreneurial and building their own show businesses that eventually get
39
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.480
appropriated and used by what's left of mainstream show business
40
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.280
and streamers. Hopefully enough interest and focus will be put
41
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.640
on original productions film and television. You have to hope
42
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.840
for the best. Where everything just turns to garbage. Bobby
43
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.200
Lee was making some news a few days back. Again
44
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.200
with Colbert Gate and everything else going on, this got
45
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.959
a little bit buried, but he told Entertainment Weekly he
46
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.040
thinks the reason he wasn't asked back to the new
47
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.199
season of And Just Like That was due to the
48
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.240
removal of quote woke elements. His quote. They tried to
49
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.280
put minorities in, and I don't know, I never saw
50
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.719
the show. He had played Jackie Knee, the podcast co
51
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.240
host of Carrie Bradshaw I played of course by Sarah
52
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.080
Jessica Parker on the first two seasons of the Sex
53
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.639
and the City follow up series, but he wasn't asked
54
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.240
back for season three. Bobby Lee told EWO Comicon, some
55
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.680
of the woke elements of the show they got rid
56
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:32.879
of it, and I think that was part of that.
57
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.719
I think Sarah Ramirez didn't come back in some other people.
58
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.400
They tried to put minorities in, and I don't know,
59
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.680
I never saw the show. A few points out that
60
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.199
the subplot about Carrie's podcast had concluded at the end
61
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.159
of season two as she refocused on her new novel.
62
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.800
Bobby said he was surprised he was even on the
63
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.639
show to begin with, he said number one. I don't
64
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.360
even know why they asked, and I was super scared
65
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.919
to do it because it wasn't my brand, really, you
66
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.319
know what I mean. But I did it. I walked
67
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.960
through the fear. I remember going there being so high
68
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.319
and drunk, and when I was reading the script, I
69
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.680
couldn't even under what the f it was saying. I
70
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.759
remember saying to myself, this is never going to happen again.
71
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.000
I had to get sober. This is insane. Pete Davidson
72
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.840
spoke to Jimmy Fallon about Pete Davidson's favorite SNL backstage moment.
73
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.280
Pete told Jimmy, you know, when you go under the
74
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.159
paint cans, there's that little sign that says watch your
75
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.360
head Farley. They explained that to me in my first season.
76
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.199
I thought it was really cool. Pete explained, Chris Farley
77
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.120
used to bump his head when it would run the sketch,
78
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.479
so there's a little plaque that says watch your head Furley.
79
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.280
A little more information about the re Odd Comedy Festival
80
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.879
September twenty sixth through October ninth. The lineup will include
81
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.840
local and international comedians, including some names you know Andrew Schultz,
82
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.360
who was shocked to find out President Trump didn't go
83
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.360
through with everything that President Trump had promised. Bill Burr,
84
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:48.879
Gabriel Iglesias, Jessica Curson, Jim Jefferies, Jimmy Carr, Joe Coy
85
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.840
who once told a horrible joke about Taylor Swift. Should
86
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.360
we listen to it? Yeah, let's listen to it.
87
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.919
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
88
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.240
The big difference between the gold Gloves in the NFL.
89
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.639
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor.
90
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.520
Swift, Kevin Hart, Monster Brownie, Russell Peters, Sebastian Maniscalco, Whitney
91
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.000
Cummings' Zarna Gark. That's no joke. Margaret Cho is touring
92
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.040
her new show is called Choligarchy and explains my new show,
93
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.000
Chologarchy is bringing me back to my roots as a
94
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.560
political comedian. I'm so frustrated with the all caps state
95
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.199
of the Union, and I know the only weapon I
96
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.240
have is humor. I want to fight fascism with everything
97
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.120
I have. This will be my most blistering and brutally
98
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.759
on a show. Yet, let's tear down racism, homophobia, and
99
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.839
sexism with all that we have, Liza Trigger spoke to
100
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.480
Interview magazine. They were curious if she's always been into gossip.
101
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.600
Lisa said, it's like an immigrant thing. Once you're an outsider,
102
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.879
you do more observing. I didn't know what carry out
103
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.560
was or delivery. We don't do that, And then I'm
104
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.360
at my friend's house and we're getting hot dogs delivered
105
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:51.920
to the house, and I'm like, what is going on?
106
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.199
But I was also raised on Access Hollywood Entertainment Tonight
107
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.759
and that's weekly. My high school group was crazy. It
108
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.920
was just a bunch of really thin people calling each other.
109
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.680
And then I was in the corner being like, Okay,
110
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.439
I guess I'll jump off the bridge. Then I'll tell
111
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.240
someone everyone's mad at you and they don't like you.
112
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.439
Then they get kicked out of the group for being
113
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.360
a bitch. She talked about her previous specials The Half
114
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.360
Hour in Comedy Central on a half Hour on Netflix
115
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.560
as part of The Degenerates and said, and with those,
116
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.680
you're kind of playing the game. There's a teleprompter. I
117
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.199
had my jokes in order, I had my set list.
118
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.240
It felt like a pageant. That's not like I would
119
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.160
like to perform. So for the new special, I was
120
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.399
very specific, no set list. I knew how I was
121
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.000
starting and how it was ending. I wanted it to
122
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.439
be a night out in New York watching me do
123
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.279
stand up in a basement. People were eating mazzarella sticks,
124
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.319
people were drinking. That's how I love doing comedy. I
125
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.360
don't perform in theaters. You know, life does just keep
126
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.800
getting worse and worse. First Mark Marin announced he was
127
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.639
ending his podcast, and Stephen Colbert got fired, and now
128
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.639
Adam Sandler is talking about making even more sequels. Oh no,
129
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.199
there's talk of growing ups three, Sandler says. When it happens,
130
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.439
I've got to let you know. I just don't know
131
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.959
what we're doing right now, but we're trying to figure
132
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.759
out stuff. It would be fun. We're always thinking of
133
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.519
some stuff and trying to get us all together. I've
134
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.319
heard chatter. Oh no, oh, I mean, do I have
135
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.600
to remind everyone? Do I have to bust out yet
136
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.879
another Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore I review because I've got them.
137
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.560
Here's one from salon their headline. The sequel to the
138
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.959
beloved nineteen ninety six hit is a tip of tide
139
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.240
reminder that it's okay to move on. Salon writes, of
140
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.319
all the dirty, rotten, down low things Netflix has done,
141
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.560
providing a gaping pit of gold coins for Adam Sandler
142
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.639
to cannonball into like Scrooge McDuck, might be the worst
143
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.399
so far. Left to his own devices, Sandler's style of
144
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.680
comedy isn't exactly pleasant to ingest in massive quantities. The
145
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.839
comedian actor made a name for himself yelling, doing voices,
146
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.480
and playing instruments on Saturday Night Live. Juvenile humor was
147
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.040
rampant in the nineties, popular with kids and kids at heart,
148
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.199
for whom growing up was a Peter Pan level nightmare.
149
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.519
Saidlor's nineteen ninety five comedy Billy Madison is the most
150
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.040
flagrant example of this childish style, soapack with immature gags
151
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.120
that it threatens to burst, sending Nickelodeon green slime everywhere.
152
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.720
I like this, This is a good review. But as
153
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.439
I said yesterday, people have seen the light. I've been
154
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.360
out here by myself saying this, and people are coming
155
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.639
around now. Salon writes the one two punch of twenty
156
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.360
seventeen's The Myerwoitz Stories. In twenty nineteen's Uncut gems Leffy
157
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.959
was thinking that Sailor might be turning over a new leaf,
158
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.399
ready to flex his skills as a dramatic performer. That's right,
159
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.360
he's a great dramatic actor. More of that, Adam, please,
160
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.839
I'll go see your movies. But Salon writes Button twenty twenty,
161
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.439
Netflix and Happy Madison Inc. Another four film deal, meaning
162
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.480
that Sanilor would be tied to the streamer and it's
163
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.680
increasingly dour cinematic output just what Sailor was finally settled
164
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.800
into a more mature era. So people were giving Kathy
165
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.519
Griffin the business about how she looked she had posted
166
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.279
on Instagram. Just when he thought I was done, I
167
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.120
came back better than ever. In classic Griffin fashion, I'm
168
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.759
happy to announce two new upcoming shows this November find
169
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.160
me in the Glamorous Las Vegas November eighth and Anaheim
170
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.199
November twenty second. In the photo, she was smiling, showing
171
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.519
off a red, wavy hair of full bangs and a
172
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.399
glammed up look. This event titled New Face, New Tour.
173
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.519
In this scene to be response to a photo that
174
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.920
paparazzi took last month, Cathy was just out living her life.
175
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.959
Seen without her full bangs, sporting long natural hair. She
176
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.240
was dressed casually in a white T shirt. People on
177
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.240
social media commented and said, she definitely looks different. You know,
178
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.000
sometimes people just want to go to the store. As
179
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.519
someone who recently lived in Canada for was it five
180
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.079
days that I moved to Canada? I support Canadian comedy.
181
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.319
The producers of Letter Kenny. They are new Metric Media.
182
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.079
They are self funding, producing and distributing a slate of
183
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.159
stand up comedy albums specials known as the A List.
184
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.120
You know, like the Canadian stereotype of the go A.
185
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.440
So the A List will feature Kenny Robinson's of Brena, Douglas,
186
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.600
Ron Jossel, Rebecca Kohler, Jared Nathan, Kelly Taylor. The guy
187
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.960
behind this is Ben Minor. Now I know Ben because
188
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.559
he used to run Serious XM Comedy Canada or Serious
189
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.759
Comedy Canada maybe before the merger. I forget how that
190
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.840
all shook out. Anyway, I know Ben worked with Ben.
191
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.159
Like Ben, congratulations Ben. We used to like working with
192
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.639
the Canadian as we call them down in New York City.
193
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.360
Anytime we went up to Canada, they would let us
194
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.440
use their facilities and they were pretty cool guys. Ben
195
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.840
Miner says New Metric is a world class one stop
196
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.039
shop for Canadian comedians and our new stand up and
197
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.000
podcast division lives up to the successes we've had on
198
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.759
the scripted side with Letter, Kenny Shorsey and some other stuff.
199
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.399
These six comedians are absolute humdingers and room rocking stand ups.
200
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:25.080
Let's continue to support Canadian comedy. The Toronto Guardian caught
201
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.799
up with Devon Henderson. Devin describes her comedy style as
202
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.399
very cerebral until I decided to start screaming. Her influence
203
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.919
is the cast of early two thousands SSNL. Tina Fey,
204
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.240
Amy Poehler, Mya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, etc. Probably did the
205
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.919
most to shape my sense of humor. If Tina Fey
206
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.960
never existed, I would not be doing this right now.
207
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.480
It's impossible to overstate how influential she was for me.
208
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.120
Her favorite way to find out about new comedians. I
209
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.440
love this answer, she said, Do I sound like Father Time?
210
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.720
If I say live shows, I don't have TikTok. I
211
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.279
love to stand at the back of the comedy boarn
212
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.080
and be surprised by a comedian I've never seen before. Amen,
213
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.840
Devin nice Jo by the La Comedy Club at the
214
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.519
Strat Hotel, Casino and Tower. They're trying to get you
215
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.519
to adopt local shelter pets. You should. I have two
216
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.240
dogs right now and they are both shelter pets. I've
217
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.360
got nothing but shelter pets since nineteen eighty one. Before that,
218
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.639
I didn't have any pets. From now until the end
219
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.720
of the summer, individuals who adopt a pet from the
220
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.279
Animal Foundation, we'll receive a complimentary pair of tickets to
221
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.960
an upcoming LA Comedy Club show. LA Comedy Club dot
222
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.799
com information there. This is going on through August twenty eighth,
223
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.240
and from Cruisehive dot com, you're home for comedy news.
224
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.639
Apparently a recent guest on the Carnival cruise line there
225
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.840
didn't like the comedy show. They complained to John Heeld.
226
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.039
Apparently mister Heald's job is to listen to your complaints.
227
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.840
The complaints said the entertainment was great, with the exception
228
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.440
of the eighteen plus comedy. We couldn't believe what both
229
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:55.679
comedian entertainers brought up incredibly inappropriate for any age. You
230
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.679
did hear the part where I just said that the
231
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.600
guest said it was an eighteen plus comedy. Clearly an
232
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.279
eighteen plus comedy and the guest clearly understand that, but
233
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.919
incredibly inappropriate for any age. The first comedian opened up
234
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.240
with the F word and within the next five minutes
235
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.360
dropped it at least three times. It was racist and
236
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.159
it was cruel. I cannot believe that everyone stayed and
237
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.960
listened to this filth. Mister Healda did not identify the performer,
238
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.639
but said it's one of Carnival's star performers. The guest said,
239
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.559
in my opinion, he should be fired. Politics, sexual connotations,
240
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.639
and the use of the F bomb has no place
241
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.559
on a so called family cruise line. All right, so
242
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.240
it's a comedy show. You don't want us to do
243
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.720
politics or sex or use the language. I'll meet you
