00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.039
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.960
comedy news. Tim Dilan was on with Fox News Digital
3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.839
and goof Dan. One of my favorite comedic targets, and
4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.120
that is Megan Markle. Now, I'm the writer on the
5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.239
Palace Intrigued podcast about the royal family, so I write
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.199
about Megan seven days a week, so I'm very familiar
7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.359
with what everything's going on. And Tim said, I think
8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.120
she came to prominence at a time when there was
9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.520
a real cultural cachet of being a victim, and I
10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.640
thought it was a very funny way to be a victim,
11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.719
and she found a way to be a victim while
12
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.679
living in a castle, and I always found that very funny.
13
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.920
I think she's a great comedic actress. I think there
14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.679
was a real currency in being a victim when she
15
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.479
rose to prominence and she became a victim living in
16
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.600
a castle, married to a prince with the royal wedding,
17
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.000
and I thought that was really funny. It's hard to
18
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.920
pull it off. She did it to her credit. You know,
19
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.520
most people that were putting out that they were victims
20
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.759
during that era were, to their credit, not members of
21
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.119
the royal family. Tim then talked about Prince Harry and said,
22
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.280
Harry seems like he's kind of been let around and
23
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.439
he kind of doesn't know what's going on. It's probably
24
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.480
all all adventure for him, right. I loved him, Dylon
25
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.879
and you can follow along and kind of goofon the
26
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.959
Royal Family. Listen to Palace Injurgue where you get your shows.
27
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.040
The Hollywood Reporter did a wax job for Seth Meyers's car.
28
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.400
I don't know why. A lot of Seth Meyer's press recently.
29
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.920
They asked him about writing for SNL's fiftieth Seth said
30
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.560
it was funny because I wrote on the fortieth and
31
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.319
I was very fresh from having left, and I felt
32
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.519
right back into being a head writer this time. I
33
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.200
felt like a guy trying to make a comeback in
34
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.840
baseball as a fifty year old, and he's kind of
35
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.719
throwing his backyard and he's like, oh, yeah, I still
36
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.120
kind of got it. But this current writing staff is
37
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.040
really great. In the person I was most impressed with
38
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.799
was Colin Jost. Seth says Jost wanted to make sure
39
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.879
everybody was taken care of, which often gets overlooked at SNL.
40
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.799
I mean, every good writer at SNL is always looking
41
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.840
out for the cast, but to some degree you're always like, well,
42
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.959
there's next week. But with the fiftieth, you don't want
43
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.159
people to get shut out. I was at the table reading.
44
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.400
It was one of those moments in life where you
45
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.719
realize this is probably the last time this is going
46
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.599
to happen for me. It was very special, and in
47
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.079
the back of your head there's an anxiety of like,
48
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.640
am I doing enough of me adding enough value? Seth
49
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.719
tells us for the fiftieth there was very little that
50
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.400
was pulled at the last minute. Once so you ask
51
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.000
Eddie Murphy to do a sketch, You're not going to
52
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.360
cut the sketch, by the way, nor will you ever
53
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.919
be in a position where you think you should. But
54
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.680
in general was a really cool thing. Could they top this?
55
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.520
Say there was a sixtieth anniversary at wich Lorne Michaels
56
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.840
would be ninety. Seth said, yeah, this was a little bittersweet,
57
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.719
and it might be the last great showbiz party. Again,
58
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.840
we're all aware we're living at different times, but I
59
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:29.560
didn't feel like a single corner had been cut, and
60
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.800
the after party was amazing. I would say the only
61
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.599
part and This was the other difference of ten years
62
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.199
is at some point we realized the next day was
63
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.639
Monday and we had to beat parents again. So my
64
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.240
wife and I did great. I mean, we stayed out
65
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.319
untill three. But the next day I was literally taking
66
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.360
two of my kids to the Blue Experience. I wasn't
67
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.719
even hungover, it was emotional exhaustion. And then I was
68
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.360
at the Bluey Store, and every parent of the Blue
69
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.199
Store is hoping there's someone there that could talk to
70
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.479
you about something cooler than Bluey. So the number of
71
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.120
parents coming over like I can't believe you're out, and
72
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.680
I'm like, yeah, me neither. They then go on to
73
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.159
talk about late Night. Maybe I'll go into that tomorrow.
74
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.639
The Alice Observer had a wonderful, wonderful review of Rob
75
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.800
Schneider's show. The headline Rob Schneider is you can do
76
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.199
It Tour had us wishing he wouldn't. The Observer rights
77
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.039
the snl Alum show was a sad display of a
78
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.280
comedian who now only knows how to pander to your
79
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.639
Facebook uncle. Sounds like Lauren Upshaw did not have a
80
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.879
good time at the show. She wrote about Rob's move
81
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.759
towards the right and his comedy special on Fox Nation.
82
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.639
The Observer put comedy in quotes. She writes, when we
83
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.639
heard he was playing the Granada, we thought, maybe we're
84
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.719
missing something, maybe he's grown as a person and his
85
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.080
interesting insight in the time following the ascendancy of the
86
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.080
Orange One, or maybe we just love a little bit
87
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.919
of good cringe, And in that vein, we were truly
88
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.120
not disappointed. The crowd was diverse in the sense that
89
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.159
it was made up of seemingly older, rich white folks
90
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.159
who had not seen Deuce Bigelow and the rest of
91
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.039
the white people who definitely had seen it. The opening
92
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.280
act was a Vegas performer who began the show with
93
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.879
standards before pivoting midway through the set to croner versions
94
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.719
of classic hip hop. The crowd loved it, and it
95
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.599
was admittedly great, and so the last couple songs took
96
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.000
a sharp turn, becoming a croon list of people to
97
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.319
get ft. The first real applause during the set erupted
98
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.680
when the singer said f oprah. It was clear the
99
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.960
crowd was there to see someone stick it to the libs,
100
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.159
and early on it seemed that desire would be fulfilled.
101
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.600
The second act gave us a revolting anti feminist tirade
102
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.639
for about thirty minutes. Her jokes were typical conservative attempts
103
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.600
at meme fodder, such as, don't worry, honey, there's no
104
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.240
chance you'll need an abortion because you're so ugly, no
105
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.160
one would have sex with you. Then Schneider came out.
106
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.639
The theme of the night was free speech the observer rights.
107
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.800
The set was made strange by the fact that it
108
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.839
didn't seem to be based on conviction or even a
109
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.519
desire to provoke thought. Instead, it came across like Schneider
110
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.279
was just trying to use outlandish, buzzed words to claim victimhood,
111
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.680
if not a grift. It was quite lazy writing at
112
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.279
the best. I'm sitting on this one. I bounced this
113
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.360
several weekends in a row. Let me just clear this out.
114
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.600
Variety did a big, big fluff piece about Rob mcallenny
115
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.160
and Kaylin Olsen. We're told how successful they are with
116
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.319
two businesses, Linear TV and a UK foot We hear
117
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.279
from Charlie Day you said it would be very impressive
118
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.800
if just one of them was going on a run.
119
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.439
But the fact is that both of them are stringing
120
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.199
together a series of real successes. They're out of tear.
121
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.959
Kaitln Olsen's High Potential is a smash hit, one of
122
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.720
the biggest shows on TV right now. Yeah, I guess.
123
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.480
Let me see how that's doing. And please understand I
124
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.000
love kayln Olsen. From Variety on May thirteenth, they wrote
125
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.639
for the network High Potential was its top rated freshman
126
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:33.319
drama in seven years. Craig Ierwick, president of Disney Television Group, says,
127
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.480
I mean High Potential is truly the story of the year.
128
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.319
If you look at the multi platform ratings this year,
129
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.160
it does I think about double the ratings of Matt Locke. Wow. Impressive.
130
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.839
It stands among the giants of shows that are on
131
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.480
right now. I think the momentum of the show will continue.
132
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.639
According to this Variety article, High Potential Broadcast plus Streaming
133
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.000
eighteen to forty nine gets a two point four to
134
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.120
seven rating that is better than other shows like Abbott
135
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.680
Elementary at two point twelve, The Rookie at one point
136
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:11.480
seven zero, Shifting Gears, Tracker, Ghosts Survivor, and Bob's Burgers
137
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.399
at number nine, and that show doesn't even exist. Then
138
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.199
Variety gets onto Waxing Rob's Car about Wrexham and how
139
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.480
well they've done. We're told how Caitlyn is on hecks.
140
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.759
She is very good on hecks and don't forget Sonny
141
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.360
returns in July for its seventeenth season. They're also in
142
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.399
business together as investors in the Philly bar Max Tavern.
143
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.040
Glenn Howarden says Rob Ten's to succeed. He's very smart
144
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.399
and humble on a collad of her person. I'm extremely
145
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.040
proud of him and Kitlyn. I don't know how she
146
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.319
does it. I mean, she's on three different TV shows.
147
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.439
What the f is going on? Man? If I want
148
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.920
to do those, if I want to do what those
149
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.399
two were doing, they'd probably be part of me that
150
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.759
was jealous. But it all sounds very exhausting. I'm too
151
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.560
damn lazy to do all that stuff. It's just too
152
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.839
much happening. Boy, they publicist, you deserve one hell of
153
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.720
a race for this fluff piece. They even got Danny
154
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.439
DeVito to say he's an oppressive guy. And I was
155
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.560
always thought Caitlyn was the funniest one on the show.
156
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.720
She's not only gorgeous, but as the timing and as
157
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.399
a natural comedian. This is like the fluff job of
158
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.600
fluff jobs I've ever seen. Rob is pondering a name change.
159
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.959
He says, as our business and our storytelling is expanding
160
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.959
into other regions of the world and other languages in
161
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.959
which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just
162
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.680
going by Rob mack kylen Olsen said. The kids are
163
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.240
really not happy about it because they have their last name,
164
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.040
and so do I legally. The fluff piece then goes
165
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.120
on to the first year of Sonny. Rob said during
166
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.839
season one he didn't quit his job as a waiter.
167
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.360
Sonny was paying him seventy five hundred dollars an episode,
168
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.240
minus taxes and commission, and there was no guarantee the
169
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.959
show would keep going, he says, of that season. That
170
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.040
was our chance, and we're very proud of those episodes.
171
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.319
It was certainly unlike anything else on TV. We knew
172
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.560
we were betting on ourselves. John the FX's boss, was
173
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.680
very upfront with us, saying, we're taking a risk on you.
174
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.399
You came in and said you want to be the showrunner.
175
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.519
You're not even the head waiter at a restaurant, but
176
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.680
I believe in you. That sounds like some retro storytelling.
177
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.160
Can you imagine you're sitting in the office, and then
178
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.360
the head of FX is like, you're not even the
179
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.839
head waiter. I don't know, and I've run into some jerks,
180
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.560
and the guy John Langraf does not have a reputation
181
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.680
for being a jerk, so only think that story might
182
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.399
be a little massaged. The piece then gets into Rob
183
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.240
and Caitlin becoming friends and then more of a relationship.
184
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:16.959
Glenn Howard and said, how did I not see this
185
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.839
was happening? She would come over and then get too
186
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.519
drunk and sleep there. In retrospect, she wasn't really that drunk.
187
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.680
She was just using the aas excuse stayed out our apartment,
188
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.560
and then Rob would disappear for a couple nights and
189
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.079
I'd be like, what's going on? He tell me he
190
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.399
went out with some girl making stuff up. Charlie Day said,
191
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.600
I thought, what's the big deal? I think I remember
192
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.679
Glenn was a little more thrown off. Glenn responds saying
193
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.240
I thought he was doing a bit because he knows.
194
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.039
The stupidest thing you could possibly do is date your
195
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.480
co star. You're compromising the show on everyone's job. If
196
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.240
that goes south, you're ft, and the whole show is
197
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.759
ft and heft everybody. So I laughed and he was like, no,
198
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.600
I'm serious. Anyway, this thing goes on and on and on.
199
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.240
I think there's some storytelling here, A nice narrative has
200
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.039
been created. And if you're the publicist for Rob Mcalenni
201
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:02.080
and Keaitlyn Olsen, you deserve more money. Screen Rant writes,
202
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.360
I really hope Happy Gilmore Too is Adam Sandler's first
203
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.480
grade comedy in twenty seven years. See. I agree with that,
204
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.279
except I would phrase it, I really hope Happy Gilmore
205
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.279
Too is Adam Sandler's first grade comedy, and I wouldn't
206
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.159
put a time period on it. I agree with screen
207
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.279
Rant when they write Sandler has undeniably started in plenty
208
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.879
of great movies over the past few years. They've mostly
209
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.039
been dramas on cut Gems, Hustle, Punch, Drunk Love are
210
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.360
the best of the best of the best. Johnny Mack
211
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.600
big fan of Adam Sandler, dramatic actor comedy not so much,
212
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.159
and I thought this was interesting. They pulled the Rotten
213
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.159
