00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with your
2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.960
daily comedy news, the daily briefing on stand up comedy,
3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.079
comedians on the comedy industry. Now, I did tape this
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.079
one Friday. It's eleven forty nine am on Friday. There
5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.399
is no information about who is performing at the Kevin
6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.440
Art Roast, which is tonight. I've checked the Netflix page,
7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.359
I've check Kevin Ort's instagram. There is nothing. So I'm
8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.640
gonna wildly speculate here. Might we see some of the
9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.119
following people? The Rock? I can see the Rock coming
10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:43.159
by and crushing. Could we see Eddie Murphy? Is that possible? Chappelle,
11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.600
Chris Rock? Right? I think we would. I think Chris Rock.
12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.560
If Chris Rock did the Funny af Show, I think
13
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.039
Chris Rock is possible. Jamie Fox Nicki Glazer said she
14
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.079
wasn't gonna do it, so all right, that's on tonight.
15
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.840
Johnny Mack will stay up late and cover that. On
16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.359
Monday's program, Deadline asked the Netflix executives, how did you
17
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.599
land on Kevin Hart as your roast subject. Tracy Pecosta
18
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.599
from Netflix said, I mean, look, Kevin is somebody who
19
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.719
we clearly love it Netflix. He's been part of the
20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.640
Netflix family for a long time and it just felt
21
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.519
right and fun and different. Have Kevin be roasted this
22
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.840
year at the festival. Robbie Prau, who heads Netflix Comedy, said,
23
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.280
at a certain point when we were thinking about it,
24
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.519
we were just like, Okay, we have this comedy festival.
25
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.519
Every single comedian is doing it and listen. Of course,
26
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.000
we've had other ideas and other conversations over the last year,
27
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.439
but when it came to it, when we finally had
28
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.480
to make the final decision, we were like, which comedian
29
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.920
can we ask? Kevin was the first person on our
30
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.519
list on that front, and we were lucky to have
31
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.760
said yes. And they're just pairing that with Shane Gillis.
32
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.359
We're starting to look at some of the scripts and
33
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.120
I think it's magic and the people doing the roast.
34
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.159
It's also going to be phenomenal. It's also going to
35
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.640
be a really special day. Let me just chime in
36
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:47.840
again as my brain is just thinking about the list, like,
37
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.040
I haven't even seen that Jeff Ross is attached to
38
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.560
this or Tony Inchcliff. I mean, they have to be right.
39
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.840
I'm not sure why they're going for the mystery. The
40
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.000
other explanation would be that they don't have confidence in
41
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.359
the events, so they're not trying attention to it. I mean,
42
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.239
we'll know in a couple hours. Deadline talked about Funny
43
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.400
AF Robbie Pros said, as somebody who came from the
44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.400
Just for Last Festival, that's the sort of the world
45
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.560
I lived in watching this show work and these comedians
46
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.360
having an opportunity. You're right, it's very difficult in that
47
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.680
landscape for that to happen. And quite frankly, back to
48
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.960
your first question of why Kevin Hart, it's because he's
49
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.919
singular in that way. He came to us and was like,
50
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.080
I want to do a show that gives comedians this opportunity,
51
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.080
and even as you see the way that we approach
52
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.280
the roast, it's very stand up for it as well.
53
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.599
The Coast has said, I agree when you say the
54
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.439
discovery piece has been missing, giving the audience the opportunity
55
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.719
to discover somebody, to get super passionate about them and
56
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.039
watch that grow over time. When I watch Kevin on
57
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.759
that show, you could sense the passion for it and
58
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.479
a much who loves it. And I do think it's
59
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.680
contagious even for people that might not think they like
60
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.319
watching that type of show. As I've said all week,
61
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.080
I thought that was a very good version of such
62
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.960
a show. The winner was Ron Taylor, who did a
63
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.199
lengthy interview with Vulture. How do you feel, Ron Taylor?
64
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.240
Ron told them I don't know. The dust hasn't settled
65
00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.680
at all, but I can tell you how it feels
66
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.560
right now. It's pretty amazing. I didn't think it'd be
67
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.879
as validating as it's been, especially being able to do
68
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.919
the competition then leave and go to the festival and
69
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.919
be the comedy stores around a body, a bunch of friends.
70
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.439
Everyone's like, oh man, I always knew, and I'm like,
71
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.800
that's crazy, because I didn't. The whole competition was very competitive.
72
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.879
If this was a race, I stumbled quite a few times,
73
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.800
and I was shocked when I recovered losing, not doing well,
74
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.039
not getting the trophy. I'm used to that. Everybody's used
75
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.759
to that. Winning was the part that I wasn't used to.
76
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.919
I'd planned for everything except winning. Good question. Have you
77
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.560
seen your social media blow up because of the show? Definitely.
78
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.560
When the show first aired on Netflix, everybody in the
79
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.039
competition's followers went up and the longer you were in
80
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.280
the competition, the more your followers continue to go up.
81
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.240
I've had people I've followed for years I'm a big
82
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.879
fan of reach out and chop it up with me,
83
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.719
like we've known each other forever. They're like, oh, man,
84
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.159
I've been a fan of your work, and I'm like, really,
85
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.639
I didn't know you knew who I was. Good question.
86
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.159
Were you trying to save your best material for later
87
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.960
rounds or did you think you had to do your
88
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.159
best stuff at every step. I'm going to guess the latter.
89
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.080
I haven't read this ahead. Ron Taylor said, I feel
90
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.599
like there were some people who blew out their best
91
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.400
stuff early on, and there were some people who held
92
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.199
onnesome stuff. I guess I felt more of the amp
93
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.319
of holding on to stuff. But that wasn't my strategy,
94
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.919
all right, I was wrong. I travel a lot, and
95
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.280
I'm normally doing sixty minutes, so the time constrained of
96
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.400
having five minutes made it hard to squeeze everything in.
97
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.199
There were two times in the competition where I'd planned
98
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.680
out three jokes and I was like, that should be
99
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.719
about five minutes, but I didn't get to my third joke,
100
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.000
which was my closer, But when that happened and I
101
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.560
moved on, I still had that joke. So coming in
102
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.000
the semifinals and finals, I had these two great closures
103
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.360
that have actually meant to do already. So I would
104
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.040
have been the person to blow their best stuff early
105
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.160
in the competition, were not for my poor time management skills.
106
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.000
Deadline did a good job on this interview. Next question,
107
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.319
did do you approach your sets differently during the semifinals
108
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.000
and finals knowing the public would be voting live? That
109
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.079
is really smart, Ron Taylor said, I did. Actually. Throughout
110
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.160
the whole competition. We had appealed to the judges who'd
111
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.959
been doing comedy forever. This is so smart. They were
112
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.720
judging stuff like your approach, your confidence, your originality, how
113
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.439
much they learned about you. But the people don't care
114
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.720
about any of that. They just want to laugh. See
115
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.360
my previous comments about comedy snobbery, Taylor said, we saw
116
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.160
whoever got the most laughs seemed to be the people
117
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.879
who moved forward to the finals. So coming in the finals,
118
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.680
all right, I'm just doing the funny stuff. Of God.
119
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.160
It might be dirty, it might be nasty, it might
120
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.160
be low hanging fruit, and some of it is, but
121
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.959
my job is to take low hanging fruit and put
122
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.439
a smart twist on it. I was like, I'm just
123
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.720
gonna say the wall of stuff I can which was
124
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.680
the hardest round the roast by far. I agree with
125
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.240
that as a viewer because it was the only one
126
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.680
for practical purposes that wasn't stand up. Another great question,
127
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.480
considering how much of your material you used on the show,
128
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.439
do you have an hour ready to film or do
129
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.560
you need to go work on it now? Great question,
130
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.079
great Ron Taylor said, I definitely have to go work
131
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.879
on it now, but that was part of the package
132
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.800
of winning. I talked to Kevin after the show and
133
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.439
he said, I'm gonna give you the opportunity to get
134
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:34.920
on the road and get as many shots as you
135
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.399
can in the gym so you can work this hour
136
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.040
out and away. You couldn't before the competition, so I'll
137
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.839
have the space and ability to create the best hour
138
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.360
I can. Now, even if I did an hour that
139
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.000
was ready, I wouldn't want to just turn around and
140
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:45.319
throw it out there. I want to take the time
141
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.959
to build this up the right way. Angela Johnson's specialists
142
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.600
out today. It's called Ugly Baby. The La Times asked Angela,
143
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.959
who's the ugliest baby You've ever seen? She said, Oh,
144
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.920
I can tell you. A face popped into my head,
145
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.360
but I'm not going to say it. I mentioned the
146
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.199
show too, and every time I do the joke, I
147
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.920
could see people in the audience got upset, and you
148
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.800
see faces shift, you see people get uncomfortable. It's like
149
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.480
you're not supposed to say certain things, and it's not
150
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.839
even that bad a thing to say some babies are ugly.
151
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.160
She talked about joking with her family and does she
152
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.399
ever run a material by her family. She says, you know,
153
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.519
I'll try it first to see how I feel in
154
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.480
my body doing said jokes, and if I start to
155
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.759
feel little guilty, then I'll run it by them, like, hey,
156
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.879
I'm doing this joke about the one time you did this,
157
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.600
and are you okay with it? Sometimes you're like, yeah,
158
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.600
say whatever, and it's a green light. I actually can't
159
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.720
think of a time when anybody said no. Usually my
160
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.199
family's like, do it. That's funny. I will say in
161
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:36.959
this hour, I do a whole piece on my mother
162
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.680
in law, and I've talked about my mother in law
163
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.480
and past special. She loves it. She laughs. She'll even
164
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.399
leave comments on the video. But for some reason, I'm
165
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.600
nervous about this one. I think she's getting older and
166
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.480
maybe a little more sensitive. I don't want to think
167
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.199
I'm making fun of her, because I'm definitely not. I'm
168
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.160
just highlighting her little isms. Congratulations to Sinbad, who has
169
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.720
returned to comedy for the first time since his stroke
170
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.000
in twenty twenty. Sinbad data show at the Comedy ice
171
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.920
House on April twenty nine. He is another show tonight.
172
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.800
On social media, Sinbad explained, I can't walk since the
173
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.519
stroke in twenty twenty, I haven't been on stage. It's
174
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.839
just the beginning of me coming back. I'm so looking
175
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.720
forward to these shows. I got so much to talk about.
176
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.600
I'm gonna be talking more trash than I ever did.
177
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.160
His daughter is opening for him, and he's excited for
178
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.920
that because she talks more trash than I talk. Gossip.
179
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:28.720
Connor whispersins changing gossip. Con probably gossip cone Quaver with me,
180
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.439
Johnny mag salling the tree. There's a website called Naughty
181
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.120
but Nice that I'm familiar with for my work on
182
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.519
the Royal Family podcast Palace Intrigue, and they get a
183
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.000
little out there but this caught my eye, they wrote,
184
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.319
Naughty but Nice wrote, Jimmy Fallon strange Miami Grand Prix
185
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.920
weekend had insiders whispering the same question, What was really
186
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.480
going on? Naughty but Nice writes, Yes, the moment caught
187
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.560
on camera Fallon biting the foam cover off Martin Brundle's
188
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.279
microphone during a chaotic Formula one grid walk was bizarre enough,
189
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.360
but according to horses on the Ground, that awkward viral
190
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.160
clip was hardly the full story. Insiders tell Naughty but Nice,
191
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.560
the late night host had been acting off all weekend.
192
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.959
Erradical late, usually tense, and increasingly difficult behind the scenes,
193
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.199
an insider said it wasn't just the mic incident. There
194
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.240
was the moment everyone saw, but all weekend Jimmy was
195
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.240
acting strangely. He was off his game, running late, distracted, jumping,
196
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.879
and hard to manage. Another source said people laugh because
197
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.040
it looked like classic Jimmy clanning around, but behind the
198
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.560
scenes people weren't laughing. Something felt off. One minute, he
199
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.639
was charming and switched on the next he was scattered
200
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.559
and impossible. It made everyone uneasy. Hmm. I quote unquote
201
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.039
worked with Jimmy Fallon a few times back in the day,
202
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.039
he'd come up and do Brewers Show and maybe some
203
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.799
solo stuff too. Was always good. And have I shared
204
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.759
this before, And maybe I have. It's been a long time.
205
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.200
So at one point, someone use your imagination. Someone was
206
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.960
sending me clips from Jimmy Fallon's twelve thirty show and saying,
207
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.039
go ahead and play them on the series channel. And
208
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.120
I would get these clips from someone and I don't know,
209
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.759
I'd put him on a flash drive or something and
210
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.720
tell my guys, you can play this once during the
211
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.720
live show, and I would never enter at the computer.
212
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.480
And I was totally confident that nobody from the twelve
213
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.799
thirty show was going to ask me why we were
214
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.679
playing clips from the twelve thirty show because of the source,
215
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.519
because someone was sending them to me directly. Anyway, I've
216
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.279
worked with Jimmy found a few times and always enjoyed him.
217
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.120
At the Netflix as a Joe Comedy Festival Tonight, five o'clock,
218
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.759
La Time, eight o'clock live on Netflix. It is the
219
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.240
Roast of Kevin Hart, hosted by Shane Gillis. Who's performing
220
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.080
who knows I guess he was not performing? Is Nate
221
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.480
Berghetzi because he's performing at the Intuit Dome at that
222
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.559
the exact same time. Meanwhile, at eight West at the
223
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.559
Greek Theater, it's the Flight of the Concords. Oh yeah,
224
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.600
today's the big Morselo hernandez show. He is headlining the
225
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.960
biggest Spanish language comedy show ever to greace the Hollywood Bowl.
226
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.559
The La Times asked Marcello, how do you think your
227
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.840
family influenced your sense of humor? Marcelo HERNANDEZU, in my opinion,
228
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.879
does one thing well, says I think you gotta be
229
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.759
funny if your parents are divorced to my parents, getting
230
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.879
divorced made me grow into an adult quicker. All my
231
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:04.799
friends have divorced parents have a funny thing about them,
232
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.600
because what's more childish than being like, I can't be
233
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.519
with you anymore. I'd call my dad like a grown up,
234
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.919
pick me up at seven well of dinner, and then
235
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.559
you'll return me to my home because I have school
236
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.399
in the morning. Marcelo, do you ever consult your family
237
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.600
before writing jokes? He said? I think I did. My time,
238
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.799
I earned the ability to say the stuff. We're always together.
239
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.360
I would never want to make my family look bad
