00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga, Shark Media, No Mac with your Daily Comedy News,

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.039
No Surprise, and a good call by everybody. Maya Rudolph

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.079
will return to Saturday Night Live. She will play Kamala Harris.

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.199
Deadline has learned that pre production on season three of

5
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.399
Rudolph's Apple TV Plus comedy series Loot. Season three really

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.120
was scheduled to begin filming on August twenty six. That's

7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.679
been paused. The cast and crew have been told that

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.719
production has been pushed for scheduling reasons. Now it happens

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.640
to work out that Loot is produced by Universal Television,

10
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.119
which also produces Saturday Night Live. Anyway, good call there,

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.439
seth Meyers will have a debut comedy special with HBO,

12
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.119
So this one is being branded in HBO special. I've

13
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.000
talked about in the past how that whole HBO Max thing.

14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.520
They've really screwed up the brand. Some of the comedy

15
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.159
specials have been Max specials. I think Hannah Einbinders was

16
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.600
a Max special. Overall. From talking to you guys in

17
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.959
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, our general

18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.560
sense all of us together is that the HBO specials

19
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.000
here in twenty twenty four have not been that strong,

20
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.120
Seth Meyers said, Critics say it's the special my kids

21
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.519
will be talking about in therapy twenty years from now.

22
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.200
He recently filmed it in front of a live audience.

23
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.640
I'd hope so at Chicago's vic Theater, great venue. No

24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.200
date yet other than this fall. Nina Rosenstein is a

25
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.359
suit at HBO Programming and said, as longtime fans, we're

26
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.159
so happy to partner with Seth on his first HBO special.

27
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.400
He's such a charismatic storyteller, and we've always loved the

28
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.640
way he reaches people on such a personal level. This

29
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.200
special is endlessly relatable and so much fun to watch.

30
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.680
Pete Davidson has checked into a wellness facility for his

31
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.040
mental health. A source tells people that mental health has

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.719
always been a priority for Pete Davidson, who has been

33
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.480
open about his sobriety journey on tour, as well as

34
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.079
his history dealing with borderline personality disorder and severe post

35
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.319
traumatic stress. To now, interesting to me, what you're hearing

36
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.680
now is actually a replacement segment. I had recorded this

37
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.840
whole thing. I had seen a few more beat Davidson

38
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.080
shows canceled, and I started going through all his bookings,

39
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.560
and I was seeing schedule conflicts, schedule conflicts, schedule conflicts.

40
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.199
I'm not trying to make light of the situation, but

41
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.159
as I pointed out the other day, schedule conflicts tends

42
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.599
to be code for something else. Beat Davidson, I hope

43
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.080
you're doing okay. I'm also hoping Christina p is doing okay.

44
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.199
She was on her podcast with Tom Sigora until the audience.

45
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.039
I have very very early stage breast cancer. It's totally treatable.

46
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.840
The prognosis is very good. I will not die. This

47
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.840
is not my last summer on Earth. It's highly treatable.

48
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.319
I'm gonna be fine. I don't want it to become

49
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.199
my identity. I don't want to have to do the

50
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.599
Instagram post of me in a hospital gown with thumbs

51
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.240
up and then get your monograms, ladies. Christina did note

52
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.680
that treating the cancer was going to mean going at

53
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.680
it very aggressively. However, because hosting her podcast brings her

54
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.719
so much joy, she's planning on continuing to do it

55
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.520
as long as she can. You may recall few months

56
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.080
ago she suddenly took a leave from her podcast. She

57
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.199
warned her fans not to send her messages about beating cancer,

58
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.960
explaining that there's nothing worse than people sending slogans or

59
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.319
platitudes when something bad happens. She urged her fans to

60
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.479
send me something creative. Did you see the whole thing

61
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.520
with Donald Trump and his comments about Kamala Harris the

62
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.800
other day? I'll leave that to the Ballad podcast. We

63
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.879
quite thoroughly covered it there well. Roywood Junior started a

64
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.159
viral hashtag hashtag when I Turned Black. Roy said, we

65
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.599
now know Kamala's brave story. When did the rest of

66
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.120
you turn black? ESPN's Ellie Duncan wrote, once I was

67
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.400
at a party, and before I knew it, I was

68
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.800
taken over by the spirit of dance, struck not by

69
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.000
Cupid's aro, but rather his shuffle. Then I knew I'm

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.120
a black twitter us A Librina commented hashtag when it

71
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.360
Turned Black. I remember in the eighties when mother returned

72
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.560
from her black job, took us to the store and uttered,

73
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.080
when we get in here, you don't want nothing, you

74
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.039
don't need nothing, don't ask for nothing. Roy would explain

75
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.000
his decision to start the hashtag, saying, all in all,

76
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.560
I believe this isn't a lot that's about Kamala's ability

77
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.599
to win voters more than it's about Trump losing voters.

78
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.840
Biden handed or a baton, and Kamala must run like

79
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.879
the wind because it doesn't seem like anything will trip

80
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.599
up Trump, not even honest questions from great NABJ journalists

81
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.000
who gave pushback when they could. By the way, you

82
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.680
know what's tomorrow Joe Rogan Live Special on Netflix. I

83
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.279
had prepped most of the weekend and the word Rogan

84
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.000
didn't even come up. And then I was playing on

85
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.439
Twitter and there was a Netflix ad for it. Only

86
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.720
an ad is the buzz? Why is there no buzz

87
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.759
on Live Joe Rogan? But that's Saturday night at ten o'clock.

88
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.959
Are you watching the Olympics? I have some questions. Is

89
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.959
there any buzz at all on Leslie Jones' Olympic coverage?

90
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.920
I googled Olympics comedian and her name came up, and

91
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.040
I was like, oh, yeah, that was supposed to be

92
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.959
a thing. I see nothing. Is there any buzz on

93
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.879
Kevin Hart and Keenan Thompson doing their Peacock Olympics recap show?

94
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.560
The same Google search showed up a couple things, but

95
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.959
they were all on the NBC websites. Is that making

96
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.319
any cultural impact at all? I don't think so. It's

97
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.319
all do the other day. In case you missed it,

98
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.959
I'll repeat because it's fun. Rob Schneider had tweeted, I'm

99
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.879
sorry to say to all Caps, the world's greatest athletes, Caps,

100
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.560
I wish you all the best Caps, but I cannot

101
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.079
watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan.

102
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.000
I hope these caps just the word these Olympics get

103
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.360
the same amount of viewers as c SPAN. Mister Schneider

104
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.759
did not enjoy some of the things in the opening ceremonies. Well,

105
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.920
some folks on the internet went digging. One Twitter user wrote,

106
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.439
Rob Schneider has an entire movie where he cross dresses.

107
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.240
Another wrote, didn't he do a whole movie in drag

108
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.959
where he's pretending to be a teenage girl. That movie

109
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.560
in question is The Hot Chick, where Rob Schneider's character

110
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.439
SWAP's bodies with Rachel McAdams character. Online content creator Mike

111
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.480
dro shared photos of Rob Schneider dressed in drag during

112
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.519
late night TV appearances and for movie roles. Droe posted

113
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.160
a screenshot of Schneider's character in Little Nicky and wrote

114
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.519
Rob Schneider stressed up as a woman for TV and movies,

115
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.560
played a man of swap places with a movie, and

116
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.920
appeared in a comedy movie about the son of Satan.

117
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.160
Newsweek contacted Schneider's representatives by email for a comment. No

118
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.160
comment yet. Staying at the Olympics, surfer dot com you're

119
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.879
home for comedy, news caught up with Colin Jost. He's

120
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.720
doing the surfing coverage there for NBC. Colin said, Yeah,

121
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.959
it's my first time at TODI, being here after seeing

122
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.800
it for so long in videos, to actually be here

123
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.120
watching it. The power of it is crazy. Is this

124
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.079
your first time in a major surf contest, first time

125
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.319
being at one live? Yeah, I really went from zero

126
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.759
to one hundred. Colin went your surfing history. Jost said,

127
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.879
I was a really big swimmer growing up. I was

128
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.480
a competitive swimmer, but I didn't know anybody whose surf.

129
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.279
Then in my early twenties, one of my best friends

130
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.160
at SNL grew up in Huntington Beach. He started taking

131
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.240
me out surfing, and I started going out to Montalk.

132
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.560
Eventually I got a place out there, or i'd go

133
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.759
to Puerto Rico or just go surf whenever we had

134
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.519
weeks off from SNL. And now I've probably been surfing

135
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.759
almost twenty years. I was curious that Timeline does check

136
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.160
out that Colin Jose has been a writer at SNL

137
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.879
since two thousand and five. Yeah, almost twenty years, Joe says.

138
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.040
But I'm a pretty cautious surfer. I mostly longboard in Montauk,

139
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.519
so being here, I've been out surfing a few times.

140
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.240
I was lucky to go out with John John Florence

141
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.319
and CHRISA. Moore at Bad Pass. The surfers are like, oh, yeah,

142
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.439
we know what you're talking about there, Johnny McK no idea.

143
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.560
It sounds cool, Joe says, It's so much fun to

144
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.439
go out and surf a faster reef break than I'm

145
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.040
used to. Last night was the kickoff of the laugh

146
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.319
Out Loveland Comedy Festival. Friend of the show, Dan Boubletz Junior,

147
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.079
is one of the powers behind this thing. It is

148
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.879
the second year comedy festival, featuring over twenty five comedians

149
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.920
from across the country. Dan said last year, the response

150
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.639
in the sport received was overwhelming. We were unsure how

151
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.920
the new festival would be received, but every show sold

152
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.399
out and we had to turn people away. That was

153
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.319
a good problem to have in our first year. We

154
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.720
hope to have the same problem this year. Let's check

155
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.639
out the lineup tonight over at Loveland Ale Works. I

156
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.040
could go and have an al laugh Out Loveland Presents

157
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.160

170
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.039
at Laughout Loveland dot Com. Fun Festival. There at the

171
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.200
Fringe Festival. If you're over there at fourteen thirty, I

172
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.240
love saying fourteen thirty instead of two thirty. Fourteen thirty

173
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.879
just sounds more interesting. Sarah hester Ross is what Judy

174
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.279
Gold says, the Vegas headliner is so talented. Do not

175
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.000
miss this hilarious show. Daily Show creator Liz Winsteed says,

176
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.279
Sarah hester Ross is the angry musical feminist comedian we

177
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.080
need right now. Sarah hester Ross is what is her

178
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.519
premier debut at the festival Again, the show's at fourteen

179
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.600
thirty shows all this weekend and then throughout the month.

180
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.879
And comedy magician Piff the Magic Dragon has cloned his assistant,

181
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.399
mister Piffles. Mister Piffles is a dog. Piff spent sixty

182
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.759
thousand dollars cloning his Chihuahua sidekick to allow the original

183
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.679
mister Piffles to retire. Piff said, mister Piffles has earned

184
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.440
the right to a royal retirement. And for the past

185
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.720
ten years, I've been looking for replacement. I searched rescue

186
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.039
shelters for and wide for chihuahua able to live up

187
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.759
to the legacy. I needed a dog who could do

188
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.159
card tricks, read minds, and would stand being shot out

189
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.120
of a cannon nightly. After a decade of fruit was searching,

190
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.919
I gave up and googled Barbi streisand for the very

191
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.240
reasonable price of an OUTI Q seven. I now have

192
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.159
the dog of my dreams again. Biff says, in a

193
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.279
groundbreaking and possibly barely legal move, you can get your

194
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.840
own cloned mister Piffles for just one hundred and twenty

195
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.879
thousand dollars. Piff is calling his tour the it costs

196
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.320
sixty thousand dollars to clone my dog, and now I

197
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.600
need to make the money back tour before I get

198
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.080
letter a dot from shelters. Every dog I've had since

199
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.600
nineteen eighty one shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter. I

200
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.279
did have a dog when I was four. I don't

201
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.960
know where my parents got that one, and both my

202
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.399
parents are gone, so I can't even find out. But

203
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.200
my dogs now shelter dogs. And that is your comedy

204
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.600
