Mulaney’s Naughty Emmys Monologue, Colbert’s Kimmel Visit

Mulaney’s Naughty Emmys Monologue, Colbert’s  Kimmel Visit

Johnny Mac recaps daily comedy news after falling behind due to jury duty, focusing on the Emmys and Stephen Colbert’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He highlights a widely shared John Mulaney Emmys bit about male TV actors and reads a passage from Frank Vincent’s A Guy’s Guide to Being a Man’s Man. Colbert wins an Emmy for The Late Show’s final year and uses his speech to credit writers and encourage hiring his staff; he later visits Kimmel, jokes about CBS, gets his beard shaved on-air, and gives Kimmel a Captain America shield from The Late Show set to mount permanently. Mac runs through other Emmys notes, riffs that Bob’s Burgers doesn’t exist, mentions Marcelo Hernandez’s Emmys moment, John Oliver joking about turning 50, the Pete Davidson/Colin Jost Snapple Island Ferry comedy event, Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill filming a Netflix spy movie possibly titled The Serpent and the Snake, upcoming podcast episodes, thoughts on Jo Koy’s new special, and details about Tires and comedian Evan Dubois.

00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:13.240
Hello, I'm Johnny Mac with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:14.759
I'm going to mix and match here. I've got to

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.260
catch up on a couple of things. I had jury duty,

4
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.699
so I'm a little behind. Stephen Colbert was on Jimmy

5
00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:21.359
Kimmel's show, but there were also the Emmys to talk about.

6
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:24.750
Let's start with the Emmys because everybody's raving about this

7
00:00:24.809 --> 00:00:27.469
clip from John Mulaney. And for good reason. It's a

8
00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:30.769
little long. It's a touch naughty. But here's John Mulaney

9
00:00:30.789 --> 00:00:31.269
at the Emmys.

10
00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:35.409
All right, what a wonderful Emmy weekend this is. This,

11
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:38.539
it's these couple days where you find out just how

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.439
much you mean to your billion dollar streamer. We love you,

13
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.259
we want you to know how important you are to

14
00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:46.630
this storytelling family. Can I get a plus one?

15
00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:47.609
You get out of here.

16
00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:52.750
This is the best part of the night, lead actor

17
00:00:52.929 --> 00:00:58.109
in a drama. This award is for the guys. Just

18
00:00:58.270 --> 00:01:04.510
men being men. Finally, something for the fellas. And what a,

19
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:08.489
what a crop of prom kings we have. They're not

20
00:01:08.629 --> 00:01:13.689
soft like the dad on Bluey, no. Guy's a joke.

21
00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:18.950
Since the creation of television, men have been historically unrepresented.

22
00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:22.400
For the first three years TV existed, there were no

23
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.299
men on it. It was just beauty contests and children

24
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.319
talking to hand puppets until the early 60s, until a

25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.650
man walked out and said, enough, my name is Fonzie

26
00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:38.269
and the president's been shot. But let's talk about these

27
00:01:38.329 --> 00:01:43.769
bros tonight, these sweat hogs. Some of the men in

28
00:01:43.810 --> 00:01:48.189
this category do method acting, and some do regular, less

29
00:01:48.250 --> 00:01:53.500
annoying acting. But no matter what, when these fellas hit

30
00:01:53.540 --> 00:01:55.700
their mark, they know all their lines.

31
00:01:56.099 --> 00:01:56.500
Why?

32
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.269
Because they started looking at their sides earlier that morning.

33
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.879
These men, excuse me, these men give it all in

34
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.599
every single take, unless the coverage is on the other

35
00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:11.919
actor and then they might bounce early, but that's okay.

36
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.650
And they can play anything, these nominees, not just doctors.

37
00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:18.689
They can play a cop or an FBI agent or

38
00:02:18.710 --> 00:02:21.530
a secret agent and then that's it, no other examples.

39
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:28.310
I believe it was DJ Khaled who said, real men

40
00:02:28.389 --> 00:02:34.610
don't go down on their wives, but, But these nominees

41
00:02:35.550 --> 00:02:42.340
know that that is BS. They know there's often less

42
00:02:42.460 --> 00:02:49.699
pressure on them if they do that first. You know,

43
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.699
I was shooting down Barham last night at 90 miles

44
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.900
an hour, and I was reminded of something I read

45
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:03.120
in actor Frank Vincent's 2006 book. A Guy's Guide to

46
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.800
Being a Man's Man. And I do want to note

47
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.439
this copy is from the Glendale Public Library. If you

48
00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:15.860
don't mind, I'd like to read a passage from the

49
00:03:15.939 --> 00:03:18.460
book right now, and then in a minute we'll get

50
00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:25.550
to this. Let me see here. Okay, and I'm reading now.

51
00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:30.180
A man's man can be wearing the best clothes, drinking

52
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.319
the finest wine, sitting with the most beautiful woman in

53
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.590
Las Vegas. If he doesn't treat everyone around him with

54
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:42.289
respect and class, he's not a real man's man. He's

55
00:03:42.370 --> 00:03:44.849
just a jabroni in a good suit.

56
00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:48.669
Stephen Colbert did win in his final year. The Late

57
00:03:48.710 --> 00:03:51.710
Show was nominated alongside The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live,

58
00:03:51.770 --> 00:03:54.889
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and Saturday Night Live.

59
00:03:55.490 --> 00:03:58.650
The Emmy goes to The Late Show starring Stephen Colbert.

60
00:04:02.090 --> 00:04:03.710
I just want to point out that if you like

61
00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:08.550
the comedy tonight, my old writers wrote it tonight. Ariel Dumas,

62
00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:11.349
my head writer, is the head writer of tonight's Emmys.

63
00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:17.500
Thank you so much on behalf of the over 200

64
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.920
people who threw themselves at this show for 11 years

65
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.860
to try to do the best show they possibly could

66
00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:26.160
for you. The thing about these late shows is that

67
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.240
besides being a really good steady job is that they

68
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.399
require so many people that they're a fantastic incubator for

69
00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:36.639
young people to come in, to learn to work professionally

70
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:41.180
on a deadline, in cooperation, in collaboration. And that is

71
00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:43.720
the future of our business that we have to look after.

72
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.600
I want you to know I got some great news.

73
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.079
They are all tech avail. Hire them, they will make

74
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:56.879
your show better and they will make your day easier.

75
00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:01.509
I want to thank so many people in this room.

76
00:05:02.069 --> 00:05:04.970
Over the last 21 years, I've interviewed at least a

77
00:05:05.089 --> 00:05:08.740
thousand of you. Thank you for coming on to talk

78
00:05:08.779 --> 00:05:09.500
to this idiot.

79
00:05:09.579 --> 00:05:10.240
I want you to.

80
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.079
Know that you were the perfect guest. This segment went great,

81
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.990
and I'm sorry I forgot to play your clip. But

82
00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:22.850
of course, there can only be one favorite guest, and

83
00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:24.670
that is my wife, Evie McGee.

84
00:05:28.430 --> 00:05:31.569
Thank you, darling. Thank you.

85
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.389
For being my only crew and my only guest during

86
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:37.870
COVID and my only audience and the only audience I

87
00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:40.750
really care about. Yours is the laugh that I want

88
00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:41.769
for the rest of my life.

89
00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:43.149
I love you.

90
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.500
And I want to say to the audience, thank you

91
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.019
so much for watching. We hope you enjoyed the show.

92
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.439
We had a great time doing it for you.

93
00:05:56.370 --> 00:05:58.750
That's it. Thank you. We'll catch you all on the flip.

94
00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:03.220
And then on Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert stopped by the

95
00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:04.899
set of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

96
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.759
Last night, our first guest capped off a tumultuous year

97
00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:12.300
with a shiny new Emmy for a show that was

98
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.310
so popular they had to pull it off of television.

99
00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:18.589
From Rivendell by way of Gondor by way of Mordor,

100
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:23.329
please welcome to late night television once again, Mr. Stephen Colbert.

101
00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:26.069
People still do this.

102
00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:28.870
People still do these shows. It rarely happens that way, though.

103
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.610
Look at that.

104
00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:40.129
Like a shark in the ocean.

105
00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:44.310
This is where you belong in a late night television studio.

106
00:06:44.389 --> 00:06:46.730
I don't know. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Not just

107
00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:48.290
to you, but to your whole staff. You guys won

108
00:06:48.350 --> 00:06:52.470
six Emmys. Seven, actually. Seven Emmys. Seven Emmys, yeah. Oh, wow.

109
00:06:52.490 --> 00:06:56.220
Seven Emmys, yeah. I thought it was six. Nope, it's seven,

110
00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:59.360
but thanks. I'll take one of them away from you.

111
00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:01.899
Anything to make you happy. Thank you for having me back.

112
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.050
It's great to have you back. Late night TV. I

113
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.829
remember it well. Do you? Many fond memories of this.

114
00:07:08.889 --> 00:07:09.209
Do you?

115
00:07:09.230 --> 00:07:13.540
Do you think about it ever? Nope. I will say.

116
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.579
I have an opportunity to not think about the news

117
00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:17.560
every day, and I took it.

118
00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:18.399
You took it, yeah.

119
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.779
Later on in the interview, Kimmel asked Colbert if CBS

120
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.990
had called to congratulate him on the seven Emmys. Colbert said,

121
00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:26.670
I'm not familiar with that organization.

122
00:07:26.850 --> 00:07:27.050
Ouch.

123
00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:29.990
Colbert had promised his wife that he would shave his

124
00:07:30.089 --> 00:07:32.189
beard if the show won an Emmy. It did win

125
00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:34.709
an Emmy. Kimmel volunteered for the job. And by the

126
00:07:34.769 --> 00:07:37.829
final segment, we saw Colbert looking kind of like he

127
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.879
used to when he hosted 1135. Kimmel said, now I

128
00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:43.639
recognize you. On the set of The Late Show, there

129
00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:47.459
was a Captain America shield given to Stephen Colbert by Marvel.

130
00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:51.279
When CBS dismantled The Late Show, Colbert said he wanted

131
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.959
to send it to Kimmel. On Tuesday night, Kimmel brought

132
00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:55.879
the shield out and asked Colbert if he could install

133
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.620
it permanently on the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Colbert said,

134
00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:00.639
it's your shield, man. Kimmel put it over to the

135
00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:03.040
producer's well in front of the audience and affixed it

136
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.199
to the wall per late nighter. Kimmel said, I want

137
00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:06.319
to be able to see it when I'm doing the

138
00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:08.370
monologue every night. Kimmel said, the shield is on the

139
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.550
wall for all time. or at least how much time

140
00:08:10.589 --> 00:08:12.689
we have left. We'll see what happens. I don't think

141
00:08:12.730 --> 00:08:17.350
Jimmy Kimmel's going anywhere. Back to the Emmys... Did I

142
00:08:17.410 --> 00:08:19.750
say Oscars earlier? I might have said Oscars.

143
00:08:20.470 --> 00:08:20.750
Emmys.

144
00:08:20.870 --> 00:08:24.220
It was the Emmys. Best Actor in a Comedy Series,

145
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.860
Matthew Rhys for Widow's Bay. Best Actress in a Comedy,

146
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.519
Jean Smart for Hacks won once again. Animated Program, the winner,

147
00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:36.299
South Park. But the nominees included Rick and Morty, The Simpsons,

148
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.360
Smiling Friends, which is something on Adult Swim, Star Wars Visions,

149
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.629
and the Bob's Burgers hoax continues. Now, if you're new

150
00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:44.509
to the show, I'm going to ask you two questions. One,

151
00:08:44.529 --> 00:08:47.789
have you ever seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't. The other is,

152
00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:50.129
have you ever met anyone who has seen Bob's Burgers?

153
00:08:50.149 --> 00:08:53.370
The answer there is also no. I understand that Kevin

154
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:55.850
Burkhart tells you coming up after the big football game,

155
00:08:55.870 --> 00:08:58.649
there's an all-new Simpsons followed by Bob's Burgers, but you've

156
00:08:58.669 --> 00:09:01.779
never actually stuck around to see if Bob's Burgers actually airs,

157
00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:03.919
have you? No, you watch Sunday Night Football, and I'm

158
00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:06.419
here to tell you there's no such thing as Bob's Burgers.

159
00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.100
I understand that you've seen merch. I understand that they

160
00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:11.019
do interviews talking about it, but this is one of

161
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.120
the great comedy hoaxes of all time, a Kaufman-level event.

162
00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:18.500
Categories continue to be confusing. Widow's Bay, that's the horror comedy,

163
00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:22.610
comedy in quotes on Apple TV. They won 14 Emmys.

164
00:09:22.970 --> 00:09:26.450
That beat last year's 13 from the studio, also from Apple.

165
00:09:26.870 --> 00:09:30.870
They had 19 nominations overall, including the top prize where

166
00:09:30.909 --> 00:09:35.289
they beat out Abbott Elementary, clearly a sitcom. Hacks, OK.

167
00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:38.789
Margot's got money troubles. Nobody wants this. And The Bear,

168
00:09:38.870 --> 00:09:41.230
which is clearly not a comedy. I don't know why

169
00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:44.059
they keep nominating that. And they insist on saying it's

170
00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:44.480
a comedy.

171
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.000
It is not.

172
00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:48.450
They also beat out Only Murders in the Building and Shrinking. Hey,

173
00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:50.850
you know who was there? Marcelo Hernandez. They're going to

174
00:09:50.889 --> 00:09:53.389
try and make Marcelo Hernandez a thing. And here he

175
00:09:53.509 --> 00:09:56.179
is at the Emmys. And, you know, he did his thing.

176
00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:06.129
Hello, it's an honor for me to be here.

177
00:10:06.509 --> 00:10:10.750
It's my first time at the Emmys, and I get

178
00:10:10.769 --> 00:10:13.600
to present, so I just want to take this opportunity

179
00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:15.639
to say hi to a few people I.

180
00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:17.500
Might not be able to say hi to later.

181
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.899
I don't know what parties I've been invited to, and

182
00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:23.120
I don't know what parties you have been invited to,

183
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.340
so just very quickly, I would like to say hello

184
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.940
to Harrison Ford.

185
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.409
Hello, hi.

186
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:35.009
You are a legend, man, and a real inspiration to me,

187
00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:37.330
and I would like to invite you to have dinner

188
00:10:37.409 --> 00:10:37.909
at my house.

189
00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:46.120
Yes, no pressure. I want to say hi to Zendaya. Hi.

190
00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:49.960
You're a beast, and you're amazing, and I saw you,

191
00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:52.460
and I wanted to play it cool, and I've decided

192
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.799
I can do that. So I would like to invite

193
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.919
you and Spider-Man to have dinner at my house.

194
00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:05.350
Yes, what's up, man? I would also like to say

195
00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:06.710
hello to Oscar Isaac.

196
00:11:07.350 --> 00:11:11.049
Oscar, you are so good in beef, man, and you

197
00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:14.100
are also Hernandez, like I am, so we could be cousins,

198
00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:17.220
you never know. And I will see you at Christmas.

199
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.490
I will cook you whatever you want. And lastly, I

200
00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:20.850
want to say.

201
00:11:20.789 --> 00:11:22.429
Hello to Matthew McConaughey.

202
00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:27.470
When I was younger, my Cuban tia mi chichi, she said, Marcelo,

203
00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:31.580
if you're working very hard, one day you can hang

204
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.279
out with Matthew McConaughey first.

205
00:11:36.250 --> 00:11:41.269
And I'm basically doing it. So that is my little spiel.

206
00:11:41.429 --> 00:11:44.000
John Oliver was out and about on red carpets. And

207
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.220
for some reason, they asked him about turning 50. He

208
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.360
turns 50 next year. When I saw the story, I'm like,

209
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.139
is he like 50 this week? No, he's 50 next

210
00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:54.039
year in April. All right, John, in April, when you

211
00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:56.960
turn 50, what's the plan? He told Live from E,

212
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.850
it's definitely going to involve a keg stand. Today in

213
00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:02.610
New York City, it's not only the big podcasting festival

214
00:12:02.629 --> 00:12:06.110
where you'll find me. Tonight is the Ferry Show with

215
00:12:06.169 --> 00:12:09.009
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost. I tried to get tickets.

216
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.090
There was a small window every day last week at

217
00:12:11.129 --> 00:12:13.429
around 3 p.m. where you had to go to a website.

218
00:12:13.529 --> 00:12:16.919
And I would remember around 447 and be like, oh, yeah,

219
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.440
Snapple Ferry thing. Yeah, I should check that out. And

220
00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:21.440
I did not get tickets. So I will have to

221
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.659
find something else to do in New York City tonight.

222
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.000
As I'll remind you, I'm from New York City, and

223
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:27.539
I have a place in New York City, so I

224
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.639
won't have any problem finding something to do. I would

225
00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:31.639
have gone to this if I got a ticket, but

226
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.019
I'll be okay missing it out. It does sound like fun.

227
00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:36.759
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost are turning their ferry into

228
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.779
a floating comedy club for a one-night Snapple event. It

229
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.659
branded the Snapple Island Ferry, which is such good branding

230
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.139
that I'll actually say the sponsor name. You may recall

231
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.379
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost purchased the ferry at auction

232
00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:53.919
in 2022 for $ 280, 000. Seemed like a good idea at

233
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.519
the time. They've hosted a few events on the vessel,

234
00:12:56.580 --> 00:13:01.120
including Tommy Hilfiger's 2025 New York Fashion Week show. Well, tonight,

235
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.710
the Snapple Island Ferry is a one-day-only free comedy club.

236
00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:07.320
You never know. Last minute tickets might show up. The

237
00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:11.940
website is register.snappleislandfairy.com if you want to take a flyer there.

238
00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:14.220
I have now made other plans. I bet they get

239
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.220
some pretty good people to show up. I'm sure they're

240
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.919
going to want to make an event out of it.

241
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.710
Here in New Jersey, Kevin Hart spotted with Henry Cavill.

242
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.389
They are filming Untitled Spy Movie, which might have a title.

243
00:13:25.490 --> 00:13:27.850
They were seen outside a private home in Glen Ridge,

244
00:13:27.909 --> 00:13:31.370
New Jersey. Netflix says the movie is still untitled, but

245
00:13:31.409 --> 00:13:33.610
the chairs on the film set had the title The

246
00:13:33.690 --> 00:13:37.590
Serpent and the Snake. There's a graphic showing the outline

247
00:13:37.629 --> 00:13:40.190
of two spies with guns drawn, although some people think

248
00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:43.409
The Serpent and the Snake might be a placeholder title.

249
00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:46.200
We're told Kevin Hart was wearing a Joy Division t-shirt,

250
00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:49.919
plaid pajama pants, and slides with socks. Henry Cavill wore

251
00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:53.000
an all-black ensemble of elbow patch, jacket, and jeans, sat

252
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.559
on a motorcycle. So it sounds like this is going

253
00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:58.750
to be typical Kevin Hart product with a capital P.

254
00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:02.500
So we'll have Henry Cavill looking like handsome and cool

255
00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:05.509
and suave and James Bond-ish, and then Kevin Hart will

256
00:14:05.529 --> 00:14:08.210
do his wacky Kevin Hart thing. I mean, we've seen

257
00:14:08.389 --> 00:14:10.549
five million versions of this, but Kevin Hart is like

258
00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:13.149
a billionaire, and I'm recording a podcast in the basement,

259
00:14:13.190 --> 00:14:16.080
so he's right. All right, tomorrow on this program, I

260
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.620
pre-taped it last Friday, so it's a little generic, I'll

261
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.200
be honest with you. There's no comedy stock market tomorrow,

262
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.679
but I had to tape that one a week ago.

263
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:26.610
Then on Saturday, the weekend deep dive is Dean Cook.

264
00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.860
You got that Dane Cook movie coming out in a bit.

265
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.879
So I thought it was a good time to take

266
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.269
a look at Dane. Sunday's episode is a normal episode

267
00:14:33.309 --> 00:14:37.629
with timely news. I did watch Chilkoi's new special. Now,

268
00:14:38.070 --> 00:14:40.090
it's funny. As soon as I hit play on it,

269
00:14:40.169 --> 00:14:41.960
I'm like 15 seconds into it. And I jump in

270
00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:45.039
the Facebook group, Daily Comedy News podcast group. And I write,

271
00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:48.480
I'm so distracted by his veneers because I was so

272
00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:52.539
distracted by his straight, white, shiny teeth. I couldn't stop

273
00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:56.250
looking at them. And then about a minute in, minor spoiler,

274
00:14:56.590 --> 00:14:59.049
Jokoi has a whole chunk about the veneers. And I

275
00:14:59.049 --> 00:15:01.629
was like, oh, OK. So I'm wondering if they kind

276
00:15:01.769 --> 00:15:04.139
of put the spotlight on the veneers to set that up.

277
00:15:04.649 --> 00:15:06.990
A pretty good special. I'm not sure how much I laughed,

278
00:15:07.070 --> 00:15:09.090
but it's one of those that I call really good company. And,

279
00:15:09.149 --> 00:15:10.950
you know, I'm a comedy snob, et cetera, et cetera.

280
00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:14.269
I think the closer is really strong and has a

281
00:15:14.309 --> 00:15:17.149
good emotional punch to it. So definitely stick around for

282
00:15:17.169 --> 00:15:19.889
the end. Nice special by Jokoi. It is in the

283
00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:22.200
top tier of specials in what has been a bad

284
00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:24.669
year for comedy specials. We'll have to see if there's

285
00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:28.190
a strong fourth quarter. Many years there are. And, you know,

286
00:15:28.230 --> 00:15:30.289
Netflix all of a sudden goes, yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang.

287
00:15:30.309 --> 00:15:32.490
Here's a bunch of stuff we hadn't previously announced. You know,

288
00:15:32.509 --> 00:15:34.990
they'll drop a Chappelle special on New Year's Eve. They

289
00:15:35.029 --> 00:15:36.929
did that one year. So we'll see what the fourth

290
00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:39.429
quarter brings. But so far, it's been a pretty lame

291
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.980
year for comedy specials. I've been enjoying the heck out

292
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.259
of Tires. I caught up last night. There was an

293
00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:47.620
episode where they went to a party. It's episode three

294
00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:49.480
of the new season. If you've seen it, you know

295
00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.100
what I'm talking about. It was very funny. If not,

296
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.389
I won't spoil it at all. Steve Gerben is one

297
00:15:53.409 --> 00:15:56.590
of the Tiresers. He apparently is known as the King

298
00:15:56.730 --> 00:16:01.149
of Westchester Golf. He says the nickname is a joke

299
00:16:01.190 --> 00:16:04.470
created by Shane Gillis after Steve Gerben broke 80 for

300
00:16:04.490 --> 00:16:07.100
the first time, scoring a 79 on 18 holes of

301
00:16:07.129 --> 00:16:09.620
golf last year. Gerben said, I thought I'd get my

302
00:16:09.669 --> 00:16:11.659
friend to start videotaping it in case it happened on

303
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.519
the 18th hole, and then I did it. So Shane

304
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.100
saw the video and was making fun of it on

305
00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:18.600
his podcast, calling me the King of Westchester Golf, while

306
00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.690
he downplays his claim to the throne. Steve Gerben does

307
00:16:21.710 --> 00:16:24.909
play golf every week in the Philadelphia region. He says,

308
00:16:24.990 --> 00:16:27.049
I can't see myself leaving the area. I really love

309
00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:28.950
it here and it's home. Also, given how I feel

310
00:16:28.990 --> 00:16:32.159
about golf, suburbs make way more sense. It's just scratching

311
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.200
the right itch for me. Now, this is interesting. The

312
00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:38.399
fictional Valley Forge Automotive Center is named after the real

313
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.120
life automotive business that Steve Gerben's father had. He sold

314
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.090
it in 2011. Steve said, I remember after season one,

315
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.570
my dad was on the boardwalk and he saw a

316
00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:48.429
Valley Forge auto shirt in one of the stores and

317
00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:50.840
he was like, this is insane. because it's the company

318
00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:53.080
he had for 20 years, and then it's gone, and

319
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.559
now we brought it back in a way. That's kind

320
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.049
of nice. Now, Gerben's been friends with these guys for

321
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:59.789
a while, so while Shane became a bit of a,

322
00:16:59.809 --> 00:17:02.870
I don't know, shooting star for Shane, but clearly, you know,

323
00:17:02.909 --> 00:17:05.589
a top comedian, I think if we had to rank

324
00:17:05.609 --> 00:17:09.660
the active comedians right now, Shane probably a two, unless

325
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.039
you want to put him at one with Chappelle. He's

326
00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:14.160
had quite the year. I'll remind you, he's sold 70,000

327
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.849
tickets at a stadium. Anyway, the thing Gerben said he

328
00:17:16.890 --> 00:17:18.490
had in his back pocket was a script for a

329
00:17:18.569 --> 00:17:21.829
show based on experience working at the tire shop. He

330
00:17:21.869 --> 00:17:25.470
initially wrote it 15 years before Tires premiered on Netflix

331
00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:28.500
in 2024. It has been picked up for season four,

332
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.920
which is great. And let's do one of those Toronto

333
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.839
comedian things. The Toronto Guardian does these where they check

334
00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:37.630
in with comedians from time to time. Evan Dubois, a

335
00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:42.349
Toronto-based comedian, blending traditional stand-up with comedy songs, visual gags,

336
00:17:42.390 --> 00:17:46.170
and creative bits. Who are your influences? He said, Biggest?

337
00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:50.319
Definitely Bo Burnham. Others include Demetri Martin, Mike Birbiglia, Flight

338
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.539
of the Conchords, and Pete Holmes. That's a good mix.

339
00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:56.900
His favorite comedian growing up? Mike Birbiglia. Oh my goodness.

340
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.109
I was well into my 30s when Birbiglia came along.

341
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:03.210
Growing up, you were into Mike Birbiglia? I feel so old.

342
00:18:03.390 --> 00:18:03.769
Oh my.

343
00:18:04.210 --> 00:18:06.450
Evan Dubois says, I always loved how his shows were

344
00:18:06.490 --> 00:18:09.009
structured to have stories based around a central theme. Favorite

345
00:18:09.029 --> 00:18:12.289
comedian right now is Bo Burnham. Inside his special is

346
00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:14.730
one of the best things I've ever watched. Pre-show ritual?

347
00:18:15.009 --> 00:18:16.690
He tunes his guitar in a corner so he doesn't

348
00:18:16.710 --> 00:18:19.250
bother anybody. And that is your comedy news for today. Tomorrow,

349
00:18:19.329 --> 00:18:22.049
generic-ish episode that I recorded a week ago. You know,

350
00:18:22.190 --> 00:18:24.230
I hook you up. It's as if I pre-taped a

351
00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:27.180
weekend episode, which I openly do. So it's, you know,

352
00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:29.779
it's at that level. And then Saturday, Deep Dive with

353
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.519
Dane Cook. Sunday's normal. Monday's normal. Have a great day.
