Mark Normand Incident: a Donald Glover related hoax? Are SNLers annoyed at Dave Chappelle? Carlin lawsuit update

WEBVTT

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.160
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.359
I love a good controversy and I've
got a few today. Get a load

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:21.199
of this. Crack dot Com writes, is Donald Glover complicit in the completely

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.920
lame hoax at Mark Norman's stand up
show? Oh boy? So I'm not

5
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.920
going to say the name of the
company that is looking for publicity. I

6
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.640
will just call them brand X.
You may recall the story from last week

7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.159
where Mark Norman was on stage,
a man jumped on stage. The man

8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.280
was escorted out, and Mark Norman
was escorted off the stage as if he

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.960
were the President of the United States. Norman and the New York Comedy Club

10
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.039
issued Instagram explanations for the incident.
They said the show's producers staged the disturbance,

11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.280
identifying the group as brand X.
So cracked dove in. They say

12
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.039
brand X has also taken responsibility for
some other viral incidents, including the heist

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.959
of custom sneakers at an art exhibition
and a Tyra Banks furry sandwich thing at

14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.519
a NETS game. Their byline,
would you risk it all to have it

15
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.680
all cracked? Rights? Brand X
appear to be a stupid, pretentious attempt

16
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.400
at going viral perpetrated by a bunch
of wannabe influencers, and they add well.

17
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.319
Judging by Donald Glover's recent Instagram stories, Brand X is actually a stupid,

18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.599
pretentious attempt at going viral perpetrated by
one of the most powerful maked corporations

19
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.760
on the planet, Cracked Rights.
The whole scheme is just a promotion for

20
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:37.159
Donald Glover's Amazon Prime video series Mister
and Missus Smith. The series is built

21
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.319
off the premise that Donald Glover and
Mayra Erskine play wannabe spies recruited by a

22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.719
mysterious organization they call brand X,
which they named after the greeting the entity

23
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.840
sends the two. Donald Glover reposted
clips from the Brand X Instagram page on

24
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.439
his own story. I know I'm
barely hiding it right. You're gonna be

25
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.000
able to figure out the Amazon part, but I don't want to help here.

26
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.079
Including videos of the normal incident.
That's a weird thing for Donald Glover

27
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.760
to do. I mean, I
guess I did it too, but yeah.

28
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.120
Glover also shared the court side furries
and the sneaker boosters. The eight

29
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.319
hundred Pound Gorilla website says they have
found a website built for the brand X

30
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.560
account called join brand x dot com. But you know not that I'm hiding

31
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.319
the name. Stereo Gum says that
brand X recruited people to perform stunts and

32
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.080
mishes for prizes, and Amazon is
mentioned in the contest rules. Wow.

33
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.719
Uh talking about backfire. I'm curious
what Mark Norman will say about this.

34
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.240
If anything, I'm curious what Joe
Rogan will say about this. Why Joe

35
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.400
Rogan because he likes to talk about
comedy. All right, next controversy,

36
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.000
Saturday Night Live. I haven't seen
it yet. There were these football games,

37
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.159
Go Niners. We'll get to that. So I haven't watched SNL.

38
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.840
But apparently at the end of SNL, who showed up on stage. Dave

39
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.479
Chappelle Davy Club didn't pull their punches, they wrote. The divisive, transphobic

40
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.039
comedian popped up on stage alongside host
to Coda Johnson, musical guest Justin Tiberlake,

41
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.599
and a slew of others celebrities,
including Jimmy Fallon and the Shark Tanks

42
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:08.319
Mark Cuban. During the Goodbye segment
of this Past week Ads SNL seemingly to

43
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.360
the surprise of the cast as much
as the audience. The AV Club says,

44
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.000
this writer is no body language expert, but it seems clear that certain

45
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.520
cast members weren't too thrilled, etc. Etc. That didn't make this prize

46
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.319
any easier for repertory players Bowen Yang
and Sarah Sherman, who seemed visibly distraught

47
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.240
when they realized Chappelle had joined the
group on the other end of the stage.

48
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.639
The AV Club reminds us of some
of the details of Dave Specials.

49
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.560
David's hosted SNL three times. AV
Club reminds us back in twenty twenty two,

50
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.639
although Chappelle's reps denied it. Page
six reported at the time that some

51
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.599
of the show's writers boycotted his episode
because they did not agree with his views.

52
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.879
In that particular episode, the AV
Club noted that Yang, Sherman,

53
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.199
and Molly Kearney were notably absent from
that night's goodbye segment. HM next one,

54
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.240
George Carlin, you know that lawsuit
against the AI thing, Well,

55
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.080
it appears that there may have been
a pivot. So now it seems that

56
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.039
the AI Carlan thing, as it's
been described, was not actually AI spokeswoman

57
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.400
Daniel Dell to The New York Times, it's a fictional podcast character created by

58
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.039
two human beings, Will Sasso and
Chad Culkin. The YouTube video I'm Glad

59
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.040
I'm Dead was completely written by Chad
Culkin. So it's not an AI special

60
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.680
NAWL, So what is it?
Carlin estate lawyer Josh Schiller told The New

61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.519
York Times the lawsuit would move forward. He said, we don't know what

62
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.600
they're saying to be true. What
we will know is they'll be deposed,

63
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.759
They will produce documents, and there'll
be evidence that shows, one way or

64
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.399
another how the show was created.
Wired analyzed this and said, while the

65
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.160
special doesn't present images of video of
Carlin AI generator or not, the YouTube

66
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.040
thumbnail for the video shows an AI
generated image of a comedian with Carlin's signature

67
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.560
gray ponytail, looking out over an
audience. The lawsuit also cites numerous social

68
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.759
media posts where Carlin's name and image
used to promote the special or the Dudzy

69
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.160
podcast. According to the lawsuit,
that creates an association between the podcast and

70
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.560
Carlin that is quote harmful to Carlin's
reputation, his legacy, and to the

71
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.639
value of his real work. If
not curtailed. Now, future AI models

72
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.800
may incorrectly associate the Ducy Special with
Carlan, ultimately folding defendants knockoff version in

73
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.160
with Carland's actual creative output. I
use AI a lot, and my non

74
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.800
expert opinion is, yeah, that's
the thing that could happen. I've seen

75
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.279
it make up facts. I've seen
it get confusedive things. I'm a big

76
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.560
Star Trek follower, and I've seen
it make up Star Trek things already.

77
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.759
Because things are out there, Wired
writes. The lawsuit asks the courts of

78
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.519
forced Dudecy to remove, takedown and
destroy any video or audio copies of the

79
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.000
George Carland Special wherever they may be
located, as well as pay punitive damages.

80
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.319
So as I understand it, the
Dudcy version is down. But I

81
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.879
just jumped on YouTube and I found
a copy of it, and that file

82
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.040
appears to be fifty nine minutes and
twenty seven seconds long. I have not

83
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.759
played through the whole thing, but
it looks like then it is a copy

84
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.879
of it. And here I see
an episode of the Dudecy video podcast on

85
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.439
YouTube. The thumbnail includes the image
of someone who looks a lot more like

86
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.680
George Carland. Then the person looks
like me where it looks like Taylor Swift.

87
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.800
But I'll let a jury decide.
I'm just here to tell you what's

88
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.360
going on. So I was curious
what happens if you ask chet Gpt to

89
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.480
write a Carland joke, And I
picked the topic of bagels, which I

90
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.160
talked about on yesterday's podcast. I
asked it to write a joke in the

91
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.279
style of George Carlin, and here's
what I wrote. And I'll do my

92
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.839
really quarter asked George Carland impression.
Why is it every time I would buy

93
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.759
a bagel that came out of Jim
Brew for some reason? Why is it

94
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.959
every time I buy a bagel there's
a hole in the middle. I mean,

95
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.000
what kind of business model is that? Selling food with a missing part?

96
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.920
Next thing you know, they'll be
selling donuts as bagels with extra air

97
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.079
and charging twice the price. All
right, there's no way Kelly's gonna think

98
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.560
I'm representing myself as George there.
That was horrible. Leave it in,

99
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.360
Johnny Mack. So that's what AI
came up with, is Carlin. But

100
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.079
I think that's a generic joke because
I'll do it as half assed angry Jerry

101
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.959
Seinfeld, why is I retired?
Buy a bagel as a hole in the

102
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.319
medal? I mean, what kind
of business model is that? Selling food?

103
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.879
Or the missing part? Next thing
you know they'll be selling donuts.

104
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.360
Is bag old extra churning twice the
price? Right? So that worked?

105
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.399
Who knows? Sorry, I can't
get gravelly today. I don't know why.

106
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.399
Bert Krascher actual, Bert Krescher has
a deal to do two more specials

107
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.160
for Netflix. This will be his
fourth and fifth. The first will be

108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.240
shot in Saint Petersburg, Florida,
on July sixth. In case you thought

109
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.040
he was filming it in Saint Petersburg, Russia, He's not well. Actually,

110
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.319
with Bert Krescher, that wouldn't be
crazy, right, that would you

111
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.800
could see that happening? He's the
machine. Nope, the Florida one,

112
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.920
Saint Petersburg, Florida, July sixth. Krascher will executive produce the new special,

113
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.839
also getting a producer credit. LeAnn
Krascher Adam Sandler would be proud.

114
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.160
Did you listen to Trevor Noah's interview
with Kevin Hart, Because it's really good.

115
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.160
You should listen. There's a funny
moment where Trevor asked, Kevin,

116
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.720
you've ever done a half empty arena? Right? So that's the setup,

117
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.240
and then Kevin answers kind of quickly. I'm pointing that out in advance so

118
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.040
that when you hear what Kevin says, you'll get it. So Trevor goess,

119
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.480
you ever done a half empty arena? By the way, I've done

120
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.720
one? Kevin, No, Can
I tell you? I should have said

121
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.480
that so fast? That sounded really
Ask me that question again. So Trevor

122
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.519
backs up, but they left all
of a sudden key. Have you ever

123
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.439
done an empty arena? Half empty? Kevin goes, ah, let me

124
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.879
think. Have I done an empty
arena? I don't know. I don't

125
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.759
know if I have. I loved
the transparency there. I mean, I'd

126
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.879
have to think about it. I'm
quite sure it's probably been some I don't

127
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.920
know. If I don't know,
i'd have to think about that. Love

128
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.079
it more controversy. You may recall
Kat Williams recently did an interview. In

129
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.399
that interview, he asked why earthquake
not in movies sounded cooler in Cat's accent.

130
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.240
He can't read, and they found
that out when they gave him a

131
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.200
show and then put the cards in
front of him. Earthquake was on Charlemagne's

132
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.639
show and asked about these comments.
Earthquake said, personally speaking, me and

133
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.200
him was cool, So I didn't
know where that came from. Certain things

134
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.600
he said about me, half was
true, half was a lie, but

135
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.960
to each his own. I don't
even getting into that part of it,

136
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.440
because see, I'm the type of
person where if I have a problem with

137
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.080
you, Charlemagne, I'm gonna call
you out. We're either gonna talk it

138
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.679
out, We're gonna duke it out. We're gonna handle it man to man.

139
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:05.360
Today it's a lame edition of Gossip
Corner. The headline from WIBX nine

140
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.639
to fifty dot com your home for
comedy news. They went with no joke.

141
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.799
Renowned comedian stops for cup of Joe
at CNY coffee shop right CNY Central,

142
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.440
New York. Renowned comedian. So
you're wondering who is it. Maybe

143
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.200
it was Dave Chappelle or Bert Kraser, maybe Jim Gaffigan, maybe Earthquake,

144
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.080
Kat Williams maybe came by for some
coffee. It's a renowned comedian. And

145
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.840
they even had a thumbnail where they
blotted out the comedian's face so that they

146
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.279
would get their click. Well,
they got a click out of Johnny Mack.

147
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.960
WIBX nine to fifty dot com got
their click for this one. Unica

148
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.720
Coffee seems to be one hotspot and
here's the reveal. This is the renowned

149
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.960
comedian. Comedian Joe Gatto also stopped
in for a cup a few days ago.

150
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.679
Who excuse me? What renowned comedian
Joe Gatto? What we just got

151
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.000
done with? What was the term
they used yesterday for Bobby Lee? World

152
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.200
famous Bobby Lee? Why don't you
go ask a thousand people who Joe Gatto

153
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.600
is. I don't know if Joe
is good or bad. It's probably an

154
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.519
awesome dude. He's probably hilarious,
but renowned. I don't know if he's

155
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.480
renowned. The Internet tells me.
Joseph Anthony Gatto, Junior is an American

156
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.399
improvisational comedian, actor, and producer
from the New York City borough of Staten

157
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.720
Island. He was formerly a member
of the tender Loins, a comedy troupe

158
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.960
consisting of Sal Volcano, James Murray, and Brian Quinn. All Right,

159
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.720
Sal is known a little bit maybe
Tenderloin fans, right, now are throwing

160
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.759
their phone across the room, going, how do you know who Joe Gatto

161
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.320
is? I mentioned earlier I watched
football on Sunday? Did you? Of

162
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.279
course you did. I still can't
believe my Niners came back. The entire

163
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.440
time during the game, I was
texting my friend Pat. He's a Chiefs

164
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.759
fan, I'm a Niners fan.
So we were kind of rooting for each

165
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.519
other's teams because we want to face
off on the Super Bowl, and we

166
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.200
got our wish. So when the
Lions scored with two minutes of the game,

167
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.159
I wrote, remain calm, play
the entire game, and I kept

168
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.600
texting him that. In the first
half halftime, I was a little nervous,

169
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.279
and I said, going to get
my lucky hat, which is a

170
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.120
real thing. I did. My
son got me a Niners cap for Christmas,

171
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.759
and I went up and I got
it, and I kept texting,

172
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.519
remain com play the entire game,
lucky hat, and boy, the Niners

173
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.399
pulled it off. Which is all
along way too long set up to tell

174
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.639
you that Bill Burr was not happy
with the coaching strategy of the Lions.

175
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.080
If you watch the game, the
Lions were a little aggressive instead of kicking

176
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.840
field goals. Bill Burr tweeted,
what do analytics say about the momentum shift

177
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.399
of not kicking a field goal,
going for an on fourth down and turning

178
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.799
the ball over versus the upside of
making the first down anyway? Two weeks

179
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.759
of Taylor Swift Talk. Can't wait. That's going to be good for our

180
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.759
podcast, Taylor Swift Today. We've
got plenty to talk about In Taylor Land,

181
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.600
Jay Leno is seeking to become conservator
over wife Mavis Leno because she has

182
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.039
dementia. Jay filed court documents on
Friday to ask a family court judge to

183
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.279
grant the conservator ship so he can
structure a living trust on other estate plans

184
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.399
to make sure that seventy seven year
old Mavis has managed assets sufficient to provide

185
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.159
for her care should he die before
her. The petition reads, Unfortunately,

186
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.320
Mavis has been progressively losing capacity and
orientation in the space and time for several

187
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.120
years. Jay is fully capable of
continuing support for Mavis's physical and financial needs

188
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.799
as he has throughout their marriage.
The court document said she was being treated

189
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.720
for dementia and mood disorder. They've
been married for forty three years. Just

three shows at sketch Fest Today seven
thirty Exploration Live with Shirley Bartley and Natalie

191
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.000
Roder Lateman. Not sure what this
is. It says the show's moved to

192
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.960
Cobb's Comedy Club. I'm not sure
if that's a step up or step down.

193
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.360
Not sure where it had been.
The website tells us the world is

194
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.279
confusing place full of mysteries to be
probed and questions to be answered. Still

195
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.840
not sure what that show is?
All right? Also at seven thirty Battle

if we were at sketch Fest tonight, I'd take you out to dinner in

199
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.559
Little Italy. Not sure. Comedy
news for today, Shoddy Bexen is not

200
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.799
impressed by those shows. If you
enjoy the show, tell a friend about

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.600
it. The numbers have been up. And I love you all except Mike
