00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.000
Callaroga shock Media, are there. I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.439
daily Comedy News, A daily briefing on stand up comedy,
3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.359
comedians and the comedy industry, A cent as the Algorithm loves.
4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.760
Malania Trump has demanded that ABC take a stand and
5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.239
fire Jimmy Kimmel over what Malania Trump described as his
6
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.239
hateful and violent rhetoric, calling Jimmy kim L a coward
7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.840
that engages in atrocious behavior. Now, last week, Jimmy Kimmel
8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.960
had done a fake White House correspondence dinner again last
9
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.840
week before the incident on Saturday night, Kimmel did this
10
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.280
comedy routine last week. In the comedy routine, Jimmy Kimmel
11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.640
had joked that missus Trump had the glow of an
12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.240
expectant widow. I wasn't in the writer's room, but as
13
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.560
a semi comedy expert, I will suspect that the nature
14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.079
of that joke was a commentary on the President not
15
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.640
always looking healthy. Anyway. After the incident on Saturday night,
16
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:08.400
the clip resurfaced. It was now recontextualized, obviously on social media.
17
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.040
Milania Trump's account wrote, Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is
18
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.920
intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family
19
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.040
isn't comedy. His words are corrosive and deepens the political
20
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.439
sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity
21
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.719
to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward,
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.400
Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will
23
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.760
keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It's
24
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.000
time for ABC to take a stand. How many times
25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.879
will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense
26
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.480
of our community. I'm not going to replay the clip
27
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.760
because I'm not looking to stir that pod. Also, if
28
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.519
you're in the Facebook group, you know about this. So
29
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.400
here's what happened on my end in Sunday Morning show,
30
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.159
I had the Kimmel bit, so if you do want
31
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.400
to hear it, it's there if you want to go
32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.719
back and hear it. And then I was watching the
33
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.640
Knicks on Saturday night and as the next game was
34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.879
wrapping up, I saw the news from the White House
35
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.239
correspondents dinner and I switched over to CNN and at
36
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.519
around nine thirty, I thought to myself, you know what,
37
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.920
I shouldn't play this Kimmel material because it is now recontextualized,
38
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.840
and I don't want to make fun of potentially tragic event.
39
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.680
And it's breaking news here and we don't know what
40
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.840
has happened yet, So let me take the Kimmel stuff out.
41
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.479
And I sat down and I made an edit, and
42
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.039
I uploaded a new version of the show that didn't
43
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.840
contain the Kimmel material. So then on Sunday morning, I'm
44
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.120
driving to the National Donut Chain listening back to the show.
45
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:28.599
I always listened back to the show to see if
46
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.400
they're new mistakes, and to my horror, the Kimmel material
47
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.360
will still in there. I'm befuddled as to how that happened.
48
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.840
And I'm positive I made the audio edit because A
49
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.280
I have it, and B I specifically remember having to
50
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.080
move the commercial marker because when you change the audio,
51
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.280
the show got shorter, so the commercial marker had to
52
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.840
move to where the commercial hole was. So I'm positive
53
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.400
that I uploaded it. I don't know what happened. Maybe
54
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.800
I didn't hit safe, maybe something happened with the computers.
55
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.159
I don't know, but anyway, the point being, I heard
56
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.599
the Kimmel clip and I was like, oh no, so
57
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.879
the Facebook group knows that I felt truly bad about that,
58
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.439
and I come in peace. I like to make fun
59
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.680
of stuff. I like to be rascally. I don't come
60
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.159
in hate at all. So back to Kimmel again. He
61
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.479
made these jokes last week, and I don't think these
62
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.039
were violent jokes. I think he was just goofing about
63
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.680
the president's age and general health. And I don't think
64
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.080
Jimmy would have done the same bit on say Monday
65
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.759
Night show. After a potential shooting later in the day,
66
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.439
the President of the United States weighed in, saying, I
67
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.639
appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel's despicable
68
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.360
call to violence, and normally would not be responsitive to
69
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.719
anything that he said, but this is something far beyond
70
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.039
the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney
71
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.280
and ABC. Jimmy Kimmel hosted his show on Monday Night
72
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.199
and responded. Jimmy said, you know, sometimes you wake up
73
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:51.599
in the morning and the first lady puts out a
74
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.840
statement demanding you'd be fired from your job. We've all
75
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.000
been there, right. He then cleared up the joke, which
76
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.280
is kind of what I think it was Obviously it
77
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
was a joke about their age difference, and of joy
78
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.960
we see on her face every time they're together, who
79
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.879
is a very light roast joke about the fact that
80
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.840
he's almost eighty and she's younger than I am. It
81
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.319
was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call
82
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.319
to assassination. And they know that I've been very vocal
83
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.120
for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.
84
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.720
The other late night hosts weighed in. Jimmy Fallon said,
85
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.040
everybody was talking about how bad the security was at
86
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.360
the White House Correspondent's dinner. The good news is everyone
87
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.879
is safe, and I think now security has figured this out.
88
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.360
They said, for now on they're going to put Trump
89
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.759
in a lock the owner in case like CVS. All right,
90
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.000
fallin again. When the incident occurred on Saturday Night, Oz
91
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.879
the mentalist was performing for Trump, Trump looked at him like, yes,
92
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.920
I did have the six of diamonds, but why didn't
93
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.480
you predict this? But Trump wants the event to be
94
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.560
rescheduled within thirty days. An FBI director Cash Burttel said
95
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.399
he expects the security at the next dinner to be
96
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.240
entirely different, because by then he'll be fired. That's a
97
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.279
solid one. Now people often say, hey, John, how come
98
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.399
you know both sides things that I say, because anytime
99
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.920
I do a recap there's nothing from the other side.
100
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.319
Well today there is. Greg Guttfeld said good news Nancy
101
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.720
Pelosi was safe as she was wearing a a proof face.
102
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.560
Gut felt again. When reached for comment, Joe Biden said,
103
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.120
it's times like these that made me glad I'm already dead.
104
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.199
George Clooney weighed in on this. Now, it's unclear if
105
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.879
the reporters knew they were speaking to George Clooney or
106
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.600
if they thought they were talking to me, and we're like, okay,
107
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.560
he hosts daily comedy news. We should get a reaction
108
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.920
from him. Clooney and I are often confused for each other,
109
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.480
so it's unclear who the reporters thought they were talking to.
110
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.680
But it wasn't me. It was actually George Clooney, who said,
111
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.680
Jimmy's a comedian. And I would argue that Carolyn Levitt
112
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.839
didn't mean shots should be fired. You may have seen
113
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.839
earlier in the day, prior to all this happening, Carolyn
114
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.800
Levitt had encouraged everyone to tune in, using the phrase
115
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.319
shots will be fired. Clooney continued, saying she was making
116
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.680
a joke. Fair enough, you look at that side and go, well,
117
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.079
jokes are jokes, but the rhetoric is a little dangerous,
118
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.160
and we've seen it a lot lately. Triumph, the insult
119
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.959
comic Dog was at the White House Correspondent's dinner, which
120
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.959
sounds like something you'd make up. Nope, he was there
121
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.680
and he spoke to John Stewart about it. Were you
122
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.720
worried about, to be honest, getting killed, Yes, but mostly
123
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.759
because I didn't want the RFK Junior to eat my carcass.
124
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.639
Late Nighters said that multi reports say that the FCC
125
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.839
is taking steps towards launching an early review of ABC's
126
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.040
broadcast licenses. This may or may not have something to
127
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.399
do with the Kimme Old joke. CNN's Brian Stelter said
128
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.519
that the review could have come as early as yesterday afternoon.
129
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.759
I'll let you know what happened. Meanwhile, King Charles, he's
130
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.199
visiting the President of the United States, and if you
131
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.720
want coverage to that, check out the podcast Palace Intrigue.
132
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.800
I'm the writer on that. I was actually quoted in
133
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.439
USA today Pop on my LinkedIn. There's a link to that.
134
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.680
But anyway, King Charles was asked about Matt Friend's impression
135
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.319
Matt Friend not having a good week. Let me play
136
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.120
a clip of Matt Friend doing King Charles. This is
137
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.319
not the clip that King Charles was reacting to, but
138
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.160
here is Matt Friend doing Charles on Sky News. But
139
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.120
I'm trying to figure out other dialects. You know, the
140
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.839
King Charles is quite fun when I come here to
141
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.920
and I try different voices, and it's more based off
142
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.639
of the crowns interpretation. Now, honestly, that's not a bad
143
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.600
King Charles impression at all. However, Matt Friend attempted to
144
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.000
do King Charles two King Charles, and the King said
145
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:18.399
keep working on it. Ah, let's all wish Stavros Halkias well,
146
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.199
he went on Instagram and said, Hey, bad news. I
147
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.800
broke my arm. I fell off a scooter. I wish
148
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.040
I was telling you that I heroically stopped a burglar
149
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.120
from harming a woman and suffered harm as a result.
150
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.759
But no, I flat lay rode a bird scooter. The
151
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.519
wind took my hat almost and I reached up to
152
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.519
try and stop it, lost my balance and fell arm
153
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.680
first into the street, two hundred and eighty pounds of
154
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.920
me directly onto my arm, cracked it smooth in half.
155
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.439
It hurts like bleep. I'm pretty fed up, and I'm
156
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.480
going to be fed up for a little while. He
157
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.279
has had to postpone the taping of his comedy special.
158
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.079
He was going to tape one in Baltimore July eighteenth
159
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.560
and nineteenth. He said, there's just no way for me
160
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.759
to do the special any justice right now. I want
161
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.120
to do a good job for you guys. I don't
162
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.399
want to put out some fing half assed bs just
163
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.600
because I would lose money not doing it when I scheduled.
164
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.680
Social media was kind as always. One person wrote, someone
165
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.639
tracked down the CCTV footage of this, please it must exist.
166
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.040
Another fan wrote, we can rebuild him the six million
167
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.920
calorie man. One of the top comments read, did you
168
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.439
immediately pull your shirt back down? Tom Sagora said he
169
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.439
almost had Garth Brooks on his podcast You May Recall
170
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.959
Back in twenty eighteen, Tom Segora started joking about Garth
171
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.720
Brooks joining Facebook. Back in twenty eighteen, Sigora made the joke,
172
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.600
what he's thinking about is all the bodies he's got
173
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.559
stacked in graves in his yard. For sure, He's probably
174
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.080
killed two hundred three other people in his life. After
175
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.159
that episode aired, Garth Brooks's comment sections on social media
176
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.559
began getting flooded by fans of Tom Sagora asking Garth Brooks,
177
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.960
where are the bodies? Well, we're now learning that Segora
178
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.919
was contacted by Garth Brooks team to have Gorth appear
179
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.519
on Tom Sigora's podcast. Sigora told this story on Andrew
180
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.240
schultz Flagrant podcast. Sigora said, I tried to get Garth on.
181
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.919
At one point. They reached out and they said, Garth's
182
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.399
going to do some interviews. Would you like him to
183
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.559
be on the podcast? I said, of course. So they
184
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.440
were like, write something that we could show to one
185
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.000
of his people. Sigora said he took the request semi seriously,
186
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.519
writing back that he'd love to have him on to
187
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.639
talk about his career. Sigora thinks they weren't even sure
188
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.279
if Sigora was the ware of the Body's guy. Quoting
189
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.480
Sigora here, the agent told my guy instead of confirming,
190
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.000
didn't he say something crazy about Garth? I feel like
191
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:19.519
it could go wrong for him. I feel like that
192
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.840
guy had said something. Eventually they're like, he's not coming
193
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.000
on that show. Too bad. That would have been amazing.
194
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.720
So we're all in this for the money, including Johnny Mack.
195
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.200
But you can die a little inside when Kill Tony
196
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.840
gets a little more corporate. Fox's Red Seed Ventures is

interest you in some comedian trading cards? The folks at

222
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.879
the comedians featured on the cards? Do you want to guess?
223
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.120
Should I give you a minute, who do you think
224
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.360
is gonna be featured on the cards? Well? Wrong? Deane Cook? Okay,
225
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.559
Now we can draw a line and then go like
226
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.960
three quarters of the way down the page. The first
227
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.840
name is Deane Cook, and then Ornie Adams, Tom Dressen,

who I've always enjoyed when I spent time with him.
230
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.759
But it's Deane Cook, Ornie Adams, Tom Dressen, Katherine Blandford
231
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.879
and Monster Brownie laugh Aactory President David Feher said, these
232
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.600
cards honor the voices, the risk takers and the artists
233
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.720
who make people laugh for a living. We're proud to

235
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.919
