00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.800
Caaloroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.640
daily comedy news. Now you know who went to the
3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.160
Laugh Factory to see a comedy show? People are really
4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.239
excited about this. Right, Sidney Sweeney went to see Matt
5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.440
Rife at the Laugh Factory last week, and boy did
6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.960
this make news. The Hollywood Reporter says, Matt Riife got
7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.480
up there and said, anyone who gets offended by a
8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.679
joke in a comedy club is an effing R word.
9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.520
The Holly reporter says, even the choice of language seemed
10
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.920
intentional to let the audience know what to expect. But
11
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.840
that's not actually the big story. The big story was
12
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.560
who came to the show? Sidney Sweeney and Scooter Braun.
13
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.399
They showed up with a group of friends and they
14
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.520
sat in the upstairs VIP section. The Hollywood Reporter tells
15
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.880
us Matt Rife had two openers, Jackson McQueen and Eric Griffin.
16
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.960
They covered subjects like broken engagements, new couples, h gap relationship,
17
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.880
remember that part, the war in Gaza, and the ample
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:07.040
amount of nudity on euphoria, specifically Sidney Sweeney's topless scenes.
19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.719
McQueen started the show just after ten pm. He called
20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.079
the VIP section the groupon section. He covered a broken
21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.239
engagement and entering the dating pool as a newly single guy.
22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.599
The Hollow Reporter says Sweeney and Braun held hands under
23
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.799
the table and sipped on bottles of water. McQueen then
24
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.840
brought Griffin up. Gryffin did a set about being a
25
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.280
new parent. He joked about the unpredictability of toddlers and
26
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.920
their wild nature, then shared a not safer work story
27
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.159
about helping his wife out with a tampon. Use your imagination.
28
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.439
Then he joked about euphoria. You know the show with
29
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.959
Sidney Sweeney. It is unclear to the Hollywood Reporter if
30
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.560
Eric Griffin knew that Sidney Sweeney was upstairs, but he
31
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.480
mentioned her name several times and joked about how her
32
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.760
breasts are always out. He used alternate language. Eyewitnesses say
33
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.280
Sidney Sweeney doubled over with laughter at the bit. Then
34
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.439
up comes Manife. He says he's not going to do
35
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.439
any politics, although he did a few light politics ish things.
36
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.800
Holler Porter says Riife covered a range of subjects in
37
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.199
his sexually charged sets, including impotence, self love, and a
38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.719
story about visiting Amsterdam's Red Light District, where he and
39
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.719
his best friend took in a show Use your imagination.
40
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.960
Riife made several jokes at the expense of trans women
41
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.439
and their vocal range. He started doing a little crowd
42
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.039
work with Matthew and Lily, who were in the front row.
43
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.520
We're told he got mileage out of the age gap.
44
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.599
You see, she is forty three years old, he is
45
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.319
in the mid thirties. This also is relevant because Scooter
46
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.759
Braun is forty four. Sidney Sweeney is twenty eight, also
47
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.000
an age gap there, remember earlier? Don't you to remember
48
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.719
that fun fact? Now it's back. The show went to midnight.
49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.680
Matt Riife ended his show with a standing ovation. By
50
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.360
that point, Sidney Sweeney and Scooter Braun and their friends
51
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.280
had rushed through the door to beat the masses. One
52
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.639
eyewitness said, she's so gorgeous in person. He asked Wanda
53
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.360
Sykes about Kimmelgge. Remember kim Olgate. Yeah, that was a
54
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.199
big thing. We're gonna talk about late night for a
55
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.400
little bit here. Variety asked Wanda Sykes that situation recirculated
56
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.680
conversations about cancel culture. What do you think? Sykes said,
57
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.719
before it was just a bunch of people who are
58
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.159
upset that they couldn't say stuff they wanted to say. Well,
59
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.560
what do you want to say? Because you can say
60
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.759
anything you want, but you got to deal with the
61
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.199
fall out when people say, hey, we don't like what
62
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.199
you said and stop buying your tickets. But what happened
63
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.719
to Jimmy. That's real. People online are losing their jobs
64
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.240
for stuff they post. It's not about what a comic says.
65
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.800
Now the guy who works at the post office as
66
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.879
something on Facebook and people jump all over him and
67
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.120
what that person fired. So now it applies to everybody.
68
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.360
You can say whatever you want, but I want to
69
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.240
know what is it you want to say? What is it?
70
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.000
What's the problem you want to say it? Just say it.
71
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.599
I don't get it. They then asked Wanda Sykes about
72
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.800
the re Odd Comedy Festival, which I haven't brought up
73
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.120
in this show. In what two three minutes? Wanta said,
74
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.120
I'm sure it was a nice paycheck, and hey, these
75
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.759
comics feel comfortable going there. I wouldn't. I'm a black
76
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.919
gay woman. I have no business there. I wouldn't feel
77
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.520
comfortable with the treatment of the LGBT. But then again,
78
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.000
I think Jessica Curson and she said she was going
79
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.840
to talk about being a lesbian. I guess that worked
80
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.599
for her, but I wouldn't. Wanda was reminded that Jessica
81
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.879
gave her money away. Want to say to me, that's
82
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.199
anti comedy if you complain about cancel culture, but then
83
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.159
you go and take the money to not say things
84
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.279
I mean, and then it trails off. As for Jimmy Kimmel,
85
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.920
who was at the center of Kimmel Gate, he was
86
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.399
at Selena Gomez's third annual Rare Impact Fund benefit. Kimmell
87
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.240
did a joke that in theory is hacky, but probably
88
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.279
worked here. He said, I'm excited to be here, Honestly,
89
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.319
after the month I've had, I'm excited to be anywhere.
90
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.800
I was this close to starting and OnlyFans. Kim Ole
91
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.560
discussed the President of the United States, saying, we have
92
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.120
a very special event tonight filled with amazing stories from
93
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.279
amazing organizations that the President wants to defund. Kimmel praised
94
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.439
Selena Gomez's Foundation for the progress the organization has made
95
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.279
in the mental health sphere. The work the Rare Impact
96
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.240
Fund does is needed now more than ever. It's very
97
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.000
painful to see what's happening in this country right now,
98
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.000
and we're not even allowed to take Tailin off for it.
99
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.879
If you're up late tonight, you can watch the tonight shows.
100
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:05.279
During Jimmy Fallon, he will announce People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
101
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.519
Now I have some inside information about this. I don't
102
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.319
want to tell you how, but I know some people
103
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.800
on the list. But on the tonight show to night,
104
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.199
Jimmy will crown the sexiest man Alive. The other guest,
105
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.000
Jimmy Carr, who you never know, could be the winner.
106
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.720
Maybe there's only one guest. I'm curious about the conversation
107
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.800
Jimmy Fallon is going to have with Jimmy Carr about
108
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.000
the Reodd Comedy Festival. I'm sure that's gonna be Fallon's opener. Ladies, gentlemen,
109
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.120
Jimmy Carr, everybody claps, Car walks out, he sits down,
110
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.560
and Jimmy Fallon starts quizzing. Jimmy carry he goes. Jimmy,
111
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.920
you were recently at the Riodd Comedy Festival. A lot
112
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.279
of people say that the government there is oppressive, and
113
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.199
you took the money. That's gonna be Jimmy Fallon's opener, right,
114
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.560
because but in the Late Night Wars, you know who's winning.
115
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.800
Stephen Colbert Late Night are saying that during the week
116
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.279
of October nineteenth through the twenty fifth, Colbert average two
117
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.600
point four to eight million viewers, beating Kimmel and Fallon combine. Now,
118
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.399
Kimmel was off that week doing reruns. Kimmel's number down
119
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.680
to one point one seven million viewers. That's down seventy
120
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.800
nine percent adults eighteen to forty nine, only one hundred
121
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.519
and sixty seven thousand people. That is not a lot
122
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.399
of people in the scheme of things, That's really not
123
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.759
that many more people than listen to this podcast. But
124
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.680
that still was enough for second place. Jimmy Fallon in
125
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.600
third place, one point zero three million total viewers in
126
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.360
adults eighteen to forty nine. One hundred and fifty eight
127
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.360
thousand people. That is not a lot of people. Seth
128
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.800
Meyers has a show for some reason, he averaged eight
129
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.120
hundred and twenty five thousand total viewers, but in the
130
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.680
eighteen to forty nine he had one hundred and nineteen
131
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.279
thousand adults Starting to catch to Seth and on Fox
132
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.600
Gutfeld three point one four million viewers and in the
133
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.720
eighteen to forty nine two hundred and thirty nine thousand. Now,
134
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.680
please remember the other show's air at eleven thirty five
135
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.360
East and west. Gutfeld airs at ten East and more
136
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.480
importantly seven West, so it's a lot easier to catch
137
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.160
that show without staying up. John Stewart is a little
138
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.000
suspicious about this construction project at the White House. On
139
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.319
The Weekly Show, John Stewart said, here's what I think
140
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.879
ultimately will happen. When his term is done, He'll just
141
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.839
stand up living there, and more than likely the Trump
142
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.920
organization will rent down more a lago for whatever the
143
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.240
new president is and they'll have to stay down there.
144
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.240
Nobody puts in a ninety thousand square football room for
145
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.639
the next guy. There are many ways to support the show.
146
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.879
One way you can do it is you can go
147
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:27.360
to buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I
148
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.079
try once a month to remember to think all the supporters,
149
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.000
including Travis and Levaughan and Devin Allen and Becky Andrea,
150
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.920
Gary Shannon, Mike Kenny Kenny, I think of you every
151
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.160
time I'm in Los Angeles. At that one particular coffee store.
152
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.560
I always associate you with that. I've never met Kenny,
153
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.560
but we talk coffee on the side, and there's one
154
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.639
over in the downtown LA that I always think of Kenny.
155
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.079
So I appreciate you supporting the show. It's funny how
156
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.040
I won't mention a comedian for a while, and then
157
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.560
all of a sudden they're in the news a lot.
158
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.600
Billy Gardell in the news Trip Live said Billy is
159
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:04.120
recovered after pneumonia. Billy was in town for the Pittsburgh
160
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.439
Steelers game a week ago. He'd been feeling run down
161
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.480
for a couple of days. He figured he had a cold.
162
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.959
Then he woke up and he could barely walk. His
163
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.000
wife convinced him to check out medical treatment. Instead of
164
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.600
going to the airport. Doctors ran Tess, Billy, you have pneumonia.
165
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.160
On top of that, he was dehydrated and had atrial fiblaration.
166
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.560
His heart was not pumping correctly. Billy Gardell, fifty six
167
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.680
years old, said, the way they treated me, this young,
168
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.959
beautiful staff, and when I say beautiful, I mean the
169
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:31.360
way they do their job and the way they were
170
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.399
so proficient in caring. I've got to give up so
171
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.080
much love to the people of UPMC. I think I've
172
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.519
told the story on this show. You know why I
173
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.039
started running. Every now and then I'll humblebreg that I've
174
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.039
ran a marathon or two. One day, I was at
175
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.559
flag football my son was playing, and I had chest
176
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.639
pain the entire morning and I felt like crap, to
177
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.679
the point where I told my wife I wanted to
178
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.320
go to the hospital because I don't want to be stupid.
179
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.279
And I went there. And when you're sitting there with
180
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.039
your chest shaved and you have electrodes on, it makes
181
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.960
you go, hey, want you try and get your act together.
182
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.600
So that's how I started running. I was thirty nine
183
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.480
years old. Here's the part they didn't tell you. The
184
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.639
day before, I was in Philadelphia and had two cheese steaks,
185
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.240
because why would you have one cheese steak when you
186
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.080
can have two giant, twelve inch cheese steaks. So that
187
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.840
was the nature of my chest pain. It was a
188
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.639
cheese steak indigestion. But it was the wake up call
189
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.000
to Johnny Mack to want don't you start running a
190
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.799
little bit? CBS caught up with Tracy Morgan. They were
191
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.759
promoting Tracy's new show, which happens to air on CBS.
192
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.799
It's a spin off of the Neighborhood. Tracy Morgan plays
193
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.000
Frank Crutchfield, a widowed father of two adult kids. They
194
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.360
moved back into the family home in New York City's Harlem.
195
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.480
Tracy said, prepping my whole life, man, I got kids.
196
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.919
My real wife Sabina, she passed away eight years ago.
197
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.000
I knew this role. I know this guy. I was
198
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.519
with her in the hospital of the day. She closed
199
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:46.960
her eyes and I said, I love you, I miss you,
200
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.639
and please forgive me for any hurd have cost you,
201
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.039
and I will see you again. Tracy says for him,
202
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.960
it's important not just to be funny, but he wants
203
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.519
his work to have a message. He says, if it
204
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.000
doesn't have a heart, I don't want to do it.
205
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.440
I need to be motivated. I got to say something.
206
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.159
You gotta tell life how I see it. And Naples, illustrated,
207
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.159
caught up with my former co worker and Tracy Morgan's
208
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.159
former co worker, Jim Brewer. They were in the cast together.
209
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.360
Jim looked pretty good. Whoever did this photo shoot? Brewer?
210
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.039
If you're listening and Jim's gotta be I think Jim's
211
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.879
two years older than me. He's probably fifty eight. He's
212
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.600
approaching sixty. Jim, you look great in the Naples illustrated
213
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.000
photos by Nick Sergio. Well, Nick Sergio did a great job.
214
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.720
So when I worked with Jim, I really could do
215
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.960
Jim pretty well, like not one of my usual half
216
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.039
ass impressions. I could actually do Jim because I would
217
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.240
listen to him for several hours every day, and I
218
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.080
would write the copy before him, and I would try
219
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.240
and write in his voice, so I would have headfoys
220
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.320
Jim Brewer. And the way I always get into my
221
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.960
Jim is I remember the first time I met him.
222
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.960
We were sitting at some high top tables at series.
223
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.240
He was pitching the show, and he goes, you always
224
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.679
have to get into the Jim Brewer thing by doing
225
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.039
his all right. It shows me Pete Pete was Pete Coreley.
226
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.320
I tell stories all right, so I can tell now
227
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.200
I've got my good Jim Brewer Today. Sinnaples Today asked
228
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.480
Jim who and what do you find funny? Jim Brewer said,
229
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.639
Shane Gillis cracks me up. He's a guy makes me laugh.
230
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.679
I like almost all comedy. It's funny. I'm dirty on stage.
231
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.759
I don't even curse, but I don't care if it's raw,
232
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.879
pushing the edge or crossing the line. Well of different
233
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.360
senses of humor, right, But I do believe some topics
234
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.759
are off limits to me. These are the very dark,
235
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.759
sadistic things of our society. There are certain things, especially
236
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.120
that happened to women and children, that are completely off limits.
237
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.320
I don't care who you are, no one is going
238
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.679
to make that funny. Brewer was asked what are your
239
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.120
thoughts about politics and comedy. Jim said, I'm not affiliated
