More Kevin Hart Roast Fallout, Conan O’Brien to Host 2027 Oscars, Colbert’s Final Stretch

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac reports Conan O’Brien will host the 99th Oscars on March 14, 2027, noting muted social media reaction and quoting Disney TV Group president Craig Erwich praising Conan’s “singular comedic voice.” He discusses a new Strike Force Five podcast where Stephen Colbert reflects on having only a few Late Show episodes left, uncertainty about future plans, and staff needing to vacate offices immediately after the finale; he also recounts guests he’d ban, guests he found attractive, and recent on-air kisses with Jimmy Fallon, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Pedro Pascal. CNN will air a flash doc, “The Last Laugh: Stephen Colbert.” On the Kevin Hart roast, Variety says Michael Che and others dropped out due to scheduling; Che criticizes differences in roast writing and highlights mostly white joke writers, while Lil Rel Howery condemns Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke. Johnny’s Comedy Stock Market: buy Tony Hinchcliffe and Ian Karmel, hold Kevin Hart, sell Kam Patterson and Nikki Glaser. He closes with highlights from Flight of the Conchords’ reunion show.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.800
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.839
the daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.039
comedy industry. Johnny Mack, you never talk about the roost

4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:18.600
of Kevin Hard. I know, right, We'll get to that

5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.760
in a second, but I gotta tell you Conan O'Brien

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.120
will return to host the Oscars for a third year

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:23.719
in a row.

8
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:23.960
Now.

9
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.399
Surprisingly to me, the reaction on social media was kind

10
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:29.879
of man, people are like, oh, Conn's back. They did

11
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.000
not seem excited about it. I think Conan did a

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.479
fine job and just roll it back. The Oscars are

13
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.560
heading to YouTube, so you know, when it goes to YouTube,

14
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.960
they're gonna have like somebody like mister Beast hosts the things.

15
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.679
So while it's still on ABC, let's just do a

16
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.719
proper show with a nice, solid host. Conan O'Brien will

17
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.960
host the ninety ninth Oscars March fourteenth to twenty twenty seven.

18
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.640
I'll have to stay up late that night. Craig Erwitch,

19
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.600
president of Disney Television Group, said Conan has created remarkable

20
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.039
energy around the Oscars. His singular comedic voice makes Hollywood's

21
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.840
biggest night one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year.

22
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.439
We're proud to welcome him back and look forward to

23
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.000
what he and the producing team deliver next. Interestingly, I'm

24
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.359
not seeing a statement from Conan O'Brien. I also thought

25
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.280
the timing of that was weird. I guess it was

26
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.239
tied to the ABC upfronts. Maybe that's what the timing was. Yeah,

27
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.400
that would make sense now to that I'm talking as

28
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.120
I think, but just with all the Stephen Colbert noise,

29
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.959
just seemed an odd time to announce it. The Strike

30
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.760
Force five guys did put out another podcast. The Strike

31
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.359
Force Five are Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel,

32
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.760
and Jimmy Fallon. A lot of people think that the

33
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.959
first four are pretty tight, and Jimmy Fallon is an

34
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.840
add on. Colbert talked about how he's feeling with just

35
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.359
a few late show episodes left. He said, it's super real.

36
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.879
I've sunk it into it. Actually, what I've said is

37
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.000
the rising tide of emotion has reached my chin, and

38
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.439
now the only thing to do is take a deep

39
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.920
breath and swim like l of H twenty. First, he

40
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.519
said he feels a little like a college senior, but

41
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.719
he isn't too sure about his future plans. He says,

42
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.760
the show takes all of my mind, like ninety five

43
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.719
percent of my mind every day to do the show

44
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.079
until it's over, I don't really know. I've had some

45
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.680
really nice meetings with people like we want to be

46
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.799
in the Stephen Colbert business, and I'm like, that's wonderful.

47
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.400
What is that? Can you tell me please? Colbert said

48
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.280
that the staff has to almost immediately leave the show's

49
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.120
offices as soon as the finale airs. Looking ahead next Friday,

50
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.479
they're not even airing one last rerun. They're going straight

51
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.919
to Byron Allen's thing on Friday night. Colbert said, no

52
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.560
one's got a job after that night. I think the

53
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.560
next day everyone's fired. I think maybe the crew has

54
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.240
some time to clear out the studio, but the staff

55
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.680
has to be all gone. I think they're going to

56
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.680
start tearing things out immediately. I know my staff is

57
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.719
not paid the next day, like they're out. I've already

58
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.800
packed my office. Colbert said he will miss working with

59
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.759
young people who are good at their jobs and who

60
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.360
you met when they were first out of college. John

61
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.840
Oliver asked Steven how many times he's had a guest

62
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.759
and then vowed to never have them back on the show.

63
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.159
Colbert said the number is probably not double figures. But

64
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.520
without naming names, Colbert said he interviewed a former Bush

65
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.960
administration official on The Colbert Report who only spoke negatively

66
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.560
about George w when the cameras were off. Colbert said,

67
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.080
I said, why didn't you say that on camera? That's

68
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.560
why you're here, and he goes, well, I got to

69
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.960
get a job in this town. That's the first person

70
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.719
I ever said. That person can never come back. Kim

71
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.759
All asked Colbert if there are any guests he found

72
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.400
distractingly attractive. Colbert said he didn't know what to do

73
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.680
with my eyeballs when Michelle Williams was on. He also

74
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.439
seemed to like Rachel Wise, Rebecca Ferguson, and Andrew Garfield.

75
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.879
Seth Meyers joked, by the way, we're going to keep

76
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.960
doing this podcast without you, and it won't be the same.

77
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.280
Colbert has been kissing people all week. On Monday night,

78
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.520
when the Strikeforce five games were on, the group was asked,

79
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.520
have you guys ever made out with a guest on camera?

80
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.560
Colbert looked at Jimmy Fallon, who asked, why would you

81
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.639
look at me like this? Colbert said, because I think

82
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.639
you've made out with guests on camera. Fallon said, no,

83
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.080
I think you just want to make out with me.

84
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.800
Colbert then pulled Jimmy Fallon in for a kiss. Colbert

85
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.479
shared that he has kissed Sally Field, Helen Mirren, Alison, Jenny,

86
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.919
Jeff Daniels, and Andrew Garfield at one point or another

87
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.560
throughout his CBS program. Then, on Tuesday night, Julia Louis

88
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.520
Dreyfus was on the show. She said she wanted to

89
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.800
join the list of guests that he has kissed. Julia said, no,

90
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.960
one's watching, it's just between us. Colbert said, what harm

91
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.039
is that, Julia Nunn? What could possibly go wrong? Then

92
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.039
they kissed. That got cheers. Colbert said, well, the interview's

93
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.919
going great so far. Why don't we do another take.

94
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.639
Then later in the same episode, Pedro Pascal came by

95
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.519
and they kissed. Pascal said, I got jealous. If you

96
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.360
can't get enough Stephen Colbert, CNN is cashing in this

97
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.720
weekend with a CNN flash doc called The Last Laugh

98
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.759
Stephen Colbert, It'll be on the CNN app today at

99
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.079
Lair Sunday at eight pm Eastern. We're told, for more

100
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.079
than a decade, Stephen Colbert has sat at the center

101
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.439
of Late Night, where comedy, politics, and culture collide. As

102
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.120
he prepares to take the desk for the final time,

103
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.199
the Last Laugh turns its lens on both the show

104
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.199
and the man, etc.

105
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:38.639
Etc.

106
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.639
Sounds like a pretty generic doc Radar online shading Stephen Colbert.

107
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:49.000
They randomly dusted off this story. Apparently when Steven's appendix

108
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.240
ruptured in late twenty twenty three, he feared guest hosts

109
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.439
might overshadow him. Now, even David Letterman last week told

110
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.160
I think he told Bill Simmons that Letterman didn't like

111
00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.839
the idea of having guest hosts because he never wanted

112
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.759
to get up the desks. So let's not throw Colbert

113
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.120
under the bus here. Who's the last person that's sat

114
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.000
in for Jimmy Fallon? Huh, Jimmy Kimmel seems a little

115
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.360
more secure. Oh, I keep forgetting to mention. Let me

116
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.839
get this point out here. Maybe I said this is

117
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.839
I keep thinking of This is Jimmy Kimmel insane if

118
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.279
he takes this summer off because the Colbert people are

119
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.040
going to want to go somewhere, and I think the

120
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.399
most likely landing place is Kimmel's show, and then Kimmel

121
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.240
usually takes July and August off, and you'd have guest hosts.

122
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.639
I think he should probably work this summer. Now. I

123
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.600
know that's a big ask. Johnny Mack doesn't like working

124
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.279
in the summer. I get it, but boy, to capture

125
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.480
that audience, maybe don't take two months off and do

126
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.439
fresh shows and try and get the former Colbert people

127
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.079
to like you. You could be the king of Late Night,

128
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.120
make a lot of money. I know they keep talking

129
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.360
about Jimmy might walk away, and I don't see it.

130
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.560
He's roughly my age. I think he should work. We'll

131
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.000
see what happens. Anyway, back to Colbert and guest hosts,

132
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160
an insiders told Rater Online, Colbert's decision to stick with

133
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.879
reruns highlights a deep level insecurity. Steven is not a

134
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.360
exactly I passed the Baton type of person. There's no

135
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.560
chance of him handing over the reins to someone who

136
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.600
might want to push him. Handle the way too, and

137
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.920
at this point it's a moot point. Michael Chay has

138
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.160
weighed in on the roast of Kevin Hart. Two sources

139
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.600
involved in the production tell Variety that Michael Chay was

140
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.319
supposed to be on the roast but had to pull

141
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.079
out because of SNL scheduling difficulties. Ardy says Chay was

142
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.600
not alone. Sources say the roast lineup had undergone quite

143
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.839
a bit of shuffling, with several last minute editions and dropouts.

144
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.240
That's interesting. Michael Chay went on Instagram and commented on

145
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.079
the roast, I'm gonna swamp out the N word and

146
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:33.839
I'll use the word fellas just to keep the rhythm

147
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.360
of what he wrote. White guys and black people joke different.

148
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.560
Black guy's a roast like look at this fellow's shoes.

149
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.000
White roast are like slavery, MAT's lane teen sex crime, slurs,

150
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.279
family secrets. White guys don't give an f about the shoes. Chay,

151
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.600
in a separate post, wrote, let's do a roast celebrating

152
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.560
the career of the most successful black comic in the

153
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.399
last ten years. I love that. Who should we get

154
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.800
to write it? On the next slide, he included a

155
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.639
photo of the five joke writers hired by Shane Gillis,

156
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.000
all of whom are white. Variety pointed out the telecap

157
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.079
had seventeen credit writers, quote, several of whom are black unquote.

158
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.399
Many of the comedians hired their own team of writers,

159
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.199
including Tony Hinchcliff and Chelsea Handler. Pete Davidson's writing partner

160
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.199
Dave Cyrus, listed several jokes he said were cut from

161
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.680
the roast. I'll do my best here. In one of

162
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.240
the jokes, Kevin Hart was called the Michael Jordan of

163
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.959
Baseball of comedy. Kevin's in superhero shape. He could start

164
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.839
in Wakanda four to eleven because next one's pretty good.

165
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.360
This about Kevin Hart's car accident. Kevin got drunk and

166
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.120
hit that tree so hard he had to stop making

167
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.720
cookies at it. New topic, Draymond Green. Draymon is probably

168
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.199
four to five years from being in the Hall of

169
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.720
Fame and forty five minutes from being in Chelsea Handler.

170
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.800
That's a good joke, All jokes aside. Chelsea Handler is

171
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.959
a killer, especially if you believe life starts a conception.

172
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.120
Chelsea f fifty cents. So long ago, the magic stick

173
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.759
was what they called a musket. Yes, Chelsea aborded a

174
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.079
feed us and easier tonight Jeff Ross, take a bow.

175
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.000
Oh man, I'm going to hell for that one. Chelsea.

176
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.399
Anything else you want me to say to your kids

177
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.279
while I'm there? More jokes? You may know Tony Hinchcliff

178
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.160
from walking through his mouth Tanter Amusement Parks. That's really

179
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.680
good if you get it. That's very, very clever. It

180
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.279
might be too deep. I first met Big Jay when

181
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.160
I was sixteen years old. Jay, it must be finally

182
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.839
nice to hear those words outside of court room.

183
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.240
Uh.

184
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.399
Tiffany Hattish, who was in attendance at the roast, told

185
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.240
TMZ she didn't hear the George Floyd joke said by

186
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.360
Tony Hinchcliff. She told TMZ the roast was so much fun.

187
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:19.839
I think it should have been shorter. The show was

188
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.680
too long. I didn't hear the George Floyd joke because

189
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.240
I had a piece so bad. I was a glorified

190
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.600
seat filler and I was tired. Sometimes political correctness does

191
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.120
not fit in comedy. Freedom of speech is alive and well,

192
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.799
and It's alive on Netflix. Riday had asked Jeff Ross

193
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.879
why was Tiffany Hattish on the dais but not even

194
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.879
referenced in the roast Jeff said, I invited Tiffany. She's

195
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.559
a good friend of mine. She's co starred with Kevin

196
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.679
a couple times. We just wanted to populate the Dais

197
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.799
with his friends and make him feel comfortable. I wanted

198
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.200
him to feel like Frank Sinatra surrounded by the rat pack.

199
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.039
Lorell Howery weighed in on all this. He posted a

200
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.440
three minute video on social media. Howary said, what I'm

201
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.600
annoyed by and I'm just keeping at one hundred, y'all,

202
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.960
I don't understand. It's one thing to roast people that's there.

203
00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.720
It's one thing to roast the people who may be

204
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.480
the audience, roasting someone number one that's dead, number two

205
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.320
that's not there, number three that the implications of why

206
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.159
you shouldn't joke about that Tony hinchcliff joke about George

207
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.600
Floyd didn't make effing sense to me. It was no

208
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.159
reason to bring George Floyd into this. It was just disgusting.

209
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.080
The audience was okay booing Draymond Green every time his

210
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.039
name was mentioned. Y'all could boo, but you don't boot

211
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.080
Tony Hinchcliffe. Right after that, I get it, man, I'm

212
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.440
okay not being part of this click bs that's going

213
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.080
on in comedy. I one hundred percent would have booed

214
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.279
that mfor and probably walked out. That's all I'm saying.

215
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.919
How he concluded, Why can't we just agree that bringing

216
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.799
up George Floyd the way he did was fed up

217
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.039
and not funny and not needed. It wasn't even needed.

218
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:47.919
I ain't like that. Comedy stock mark as thank you.

219
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.720
Bert Reynolds's voice of the comedy stock market. Every week

220
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.919
we take a look at what comedian stock we should

221
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.120
buy and what comedian stock we should sell. We're not

222
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.159
saying these people are good or bad. We're just looking

223
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:01.399
to see who's overvalued or undervalued. Why don't we buy

224
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.279
some Tony Hinchcliff. Now, I know some people are like,

225
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:08.039
whoa Tony Hinchcliff, But you know what Hinchcliff is reliable.

226
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.679
You put him up there, he does deliver. Yeah, some

227
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.320
controversy comes with it, but that's okay. He stays in

228
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.120
the mix. Kill Tony's sailing along. We'll buy some Tony Hinchcliff.

229
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:22.000
Let's also throw deep here. Let's buy some Ian Carmel. Why, John,

230
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.960
remember I told you the other day he's gonna be

231
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.879
co hosting that FIFA show, the World Cup show, so

232
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.039
he'll get in front of people and maybe that'll up

233
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.399
his profile. So let's buy really low on Ian Carmel.

234
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.320
Maybe they will cash in on that. I was looking

235
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.279
at Kevin Hart at one point I had it as

236
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.240
a cell and then I upgraded it to hold because

237
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.720
I'm looking at the cast of the movie that's coming

238
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.919
to Netflix in a month, and it's him and the

239
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.399
Police Don't Destroy Guy and Marcelo Hernandez, and I just

240
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.679
feel like people are gonna like that movie, at least

241
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.399
in a Netflix low bar universe. So let's hold Kevin

242
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.279
Hart and I've got two cells for you. Let's sell

243
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.080
Cam Patterson. I assume this will be his last appearance

244
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.240
on Saturday Night Live. I don't see him coming back.

245
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.440
I've said that all year long. I think he's one

246
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.720
and done. He's also in the Kevin Hart movie, by

247
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.600
the way. But despite that, let's sell Cam Patterson and

248
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.679
let's sell Nicki Glazer. What is Nicki Glazer right now?

249
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.879
Career wise? So Conan's coming back to host the Oscars.

250
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.000
So despite the soft campaign, she's not getting the Oscars.

251
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.919
She didn't show up at the roast so she's no

252
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.720
longer like the killer roast comedian. So Nicki is what

253
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.240
a solid guest on Kelly Rippa and the View. Okay, sell,

254
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.720
Let's sell Nicki Glazer, sell Cam Patterson, Buy in Carmel

255
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.799
by Tony Hinchcliffe. Hold Kevin Heart. That's your comedy stock

256
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.559
market for this week, and we are long. I'm gonna

257
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.440
leave you with this. I've been bouncing this all week.

258
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.759
The Flight of the Concords did do their reunion. You

259
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.159
may recall their famous song the Robots Are Dead. Jermaine

260
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.600
Clement has updated the lyrics in the voice of a

261
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.879
frustrated robot. The lyrics are now. Humans invented artificial intelligence,

262
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.720
and they had us doing really stupid stuff with it.

263
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.240
Brett Mackenzie added, They gave us all the knowledge deep learning,

264
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.480
gave us the power to solve complex scientific mathematical equations.

265
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.440
Then they just asked us questions like how do you

266
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.440
cook an egg? The Guardian gave the show five stars.

267
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.039
They said Mackenzie and Clement were clearly enjoying themselves and

268
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.799
their musicianship was on full display as they harmonized and

269
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.720
played an array of instruments, including guitar, bass, keyboard, flute,

270
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.960
and various digital devices. Clement's voice was particularly rich on stage.

271
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.519
The records haven't always done it justice. There were a

272
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.159
few mistakes along the way. One song suffered from extensive

273
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.120
lyrical confusion, but the band embraced those moments to cheers.

274
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.759
They played most of their hits, including business Time, The

275
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.480
Most Beautiful Girl in the Room, Bowie, and Space Carol Brown,

276
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.879
in which Clement lists all the rhyming ways as exes

277
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.399
have left him, a sort of fifty ways to leave

278
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.159
your lover in reverse. Mackenzie said, we're not really playing

279
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.919
new songs, but they're new to us because we can't

280
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.320
remember them. That's great. Other highlights include eight appearances by

281
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.840
Rhys Darby, who played the band manager of Murray on

282
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.080
the show. Kristin Shall played obsessive fan Mail. There. Arch Berker,

283
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.440
who played the band's friend Dave, was there. Arch opened

284
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.720
up the night with a stand up set This Sounds Fantastic.

285
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.159
Jerby appeared on stage to conduct a raffle for an

286
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.360
on stage VIP experience with the band who won Mel

287
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.840
played by Kristin Shawl. She was offered the opportunity to

288
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.600
touch both men for thirty seconds. Oh so much fun.

289
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.360
The duo.

290
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.399
We're backed on some songs by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra,

291
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.799
which was a single cellist named Nigel Collins. And I'm

292
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.440
going to end with a clip. I'm not sure this

293
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.639
is the best audio and it's kind of long, but

294
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.720
