00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.759
Very busy one today. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your
3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.800
daily comedy news from Daytona Beach. The new Grand Marshal
4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.480
of the sixty eighth running of the Daytona five hundred
5
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.879
on Sunday, February fifteenth will be Nate Brighetzi. Nate's publicist
6
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.280
stayed on top of Daytona with this fancy press release.
7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.160
The Grammy Award winning number one touring comedian in the
8
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.719
world in two times Saturday Night Live host is now
9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.600
making the jump to the silver screen this spring with
10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.320
his first feature film. He created, Corote, produced and stars
11
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.240
in the family friendly comedy The bread Winner for Tri
12
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.079
Star Pictures, schedule to be released theatrically on May twenty nine,
13
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:46.079
twenty twenty six. None of that mentions date Zona. The
14
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.399
press release also gets in Widely known as the Nicest
15
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.880
Man in stand up, Burghetti has become one of America's
16
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.000
most beloved comedic voices. Blah blah blah. Is he widely
17
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.119
known as the nicest man in stand up? I mean
18
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.679
he seems nice. I'm sure he's lovely, but see widely
19
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.920
known as that. It is through the phrase into Google.
20
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.120
The Atlantic in twenty twenty one had the headline Nate
21
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:08.840
Pergetzi's the nicest man in stand up.
22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:08.959
Now.
23
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.200
I've never met Nate, but again, I think that Jeff
24
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.799
Foxworthy is very, very nice. It seems everything's going back
25
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.439
to that article and they are running with it. Anyway.
26
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.519
We are told that his clever and wildly relatable storytelling
27
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.599
has made him a favorite among fans of all ages,
28
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.000
qualities that align perfectly with the excitement, tradition, and national
29
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.079
spotlight of the Daytona five hundred. Frank Kelleher is president
30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.040
of the Daytona International Speedway and he said Nate Pergetzi's
31
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.879
nationwide popularity, family friendly, humor, and authenticity and body the
32
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.319
same spirit with a style that resonates with all. He'll
33
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.480
bring a memorable spark to the command, amplifying the emotion
34
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.719
and excitement of one of the biggest moments in motor sports.
35
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.599
All the public's got it done. They want us to know.
36
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.079
His most recent Netflix Specially Your Friend Nate Pergetzi is
37
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.359
currently the most watched dan up special on Netflix in
38
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.000
the past fifty two weeks. His Big Dumb Eyes World
39
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.000
Tours set a record for biggest one year gross by
40
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.079
a comedy perform in history and has broken over forty
41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.840
total arena attendance records. In addition to giving the command
42
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.519
to fire up the engines, Nate will also participate in
43
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.080
a fanned Q and a session in the fan zone
44
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.639
that morning. I did Daytona a few times. I had
45
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.240
a hot pass from serious xam. I'll wait till Daytona
46
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.759
day to tell those stories because we have a lot
47
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.800
to get to. Nate did win the Grammy and as
48
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.840
part of the story they're selling us this week. During
49
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.840
the pre show premiere ceremony, Nate was lounging on the
50
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.240
couch under a blanket when he heard that he won
51
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.120
his first Grammy. A video happened to be rolling as
52
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.159
this announcement happened. Nate is covering his hands in disbelief.
53
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.680
He seems so shocked that he doesn't even say anything
54
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.800
during the video. After the ceremony, Nate posted the video
55
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.280
that shows him reacting. Good thing somebody was rolling at camera.
56
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.000
Nate said, I am honestly blown away and as surprised
57
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.319
as the video shows. Thank you to all that I've
58
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:48.960
ever been to a show or watch A special thank
59
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.840
you to every comedian that's been part of my life.
60
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.879
I love stand up comedy so much and so excited
61
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.840
to see how stand up is exploding. Thank you to
62
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.120
my family who's been so supportive of me, especially my
63
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.719
beautiful wife Laura and our wonderful daughter Harper. God has
64
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.879
truly blessed me with so much love and support around me. Now,
65
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.240
I don't want you guys to think that I don't
66
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.360
like Naperghazzi. I just overreact to press release e press releases,
67
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.120
and boy, the publicists to earn their money on that one.
68
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.840
What a yarn they are selling there. I'll give you
69
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.919
an early hint for this week's comedy stock Market Dave Chappelle.
70
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.199
Dave's going to return to Minnesota to quote, stand with
71
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.639
a community. He'll be doing a performance at the Grand
72
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.159
Casino Arena on February sixteenth. The announcement describes Dave's decision
73
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.879
as an act of solidarity with a community. Quote at
74
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.919
the center of events that you denied all Americans in
75
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.599
defense of civil rights, human dignity, and the principles we
76
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.680
claim the hold sacred, Amen, Dave. The press release says
77
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.759
Dave's appearance reflects a quote decades long commitment to showing
78
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.000
up for communities and crisis and using comedy as a
79
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.159
force for connection and solidarity. I like this move a
80
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.120
lot now. Interestingly, in July of twenty twenty two, Dave
81
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.879
was scheduled to perform at First Avenue in Minneapolis. That's
82
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.080
the place Bruce Springsteen showed up at last week. That
83
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.719
show was moved to the Varsity Theater in an apparent
84
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.479
reaction to Dave's transfer material. You may also recall that
85
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.879
in twenty twenties, that long ago, Netflix released a special
86
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.280
titled eight forty six, which featured Dave Chappelle talking about
87
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.319
race in the wake of George Floyd's death. Eight forty
88
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.039
six refers to the length of time George Floyd was
89
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.920
pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer. Daves
90
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.800
announced a couple other shows to tell you about those
91
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.600
later in the week, one with John Stewart and a
92
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.519
second one in San Francisco this weekend. But we'll get
93
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.360
to that. Bill Maher shot back at Dave Chappelle on
94
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.959
Friday's Real Time. Bill Maher asserted that he was right
95
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.839
to mock Dave Chappelle for suggesting Saudi Arabia has freer
96
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.040
speech of the United States. Mar said Dave Chappelle lashed
97
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.959
out at me last month because I called him out
98
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.040
for saying there was more free speech in Saudi Arabia
99
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.480
than here. Well, I was right. What he said was stupid.
100
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.199
Maer argued that the United States is a far different
101
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.879
place than Saudi Arabia regarding free speech, quoting Bill Maher.
102
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.839
If you don't believe me, try opening a lesbian art
103
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.879
gallery there, or wearing a T shirt that says Jesus
104
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.639
is the one True God. Ricky's right meeting Ricky Gervais.
105
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.920
Celebrities don't know about the real world. I feel terrible.
106
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.480
I'm a terrible, terrible host. I forgot to tell you
107
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.279
guys for two days. I meant to tell you this
108
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.240
when I recorded the Sunday Grammy segment. Anyway, John Marcos
109
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.639
Areisi released a short fourteen minute set. It is on YouTube.
110
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.639
It is called Shelf Life Volume two. I feel awful
111
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.800
the publicists sent that over. I knew in advance and
112
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.079
I just forgot to actually voice the story. Sorry, publicist.
113
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.959
You know I love you. You know I love John Marco.
114
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.439
John Marco has been named a Deadline comic set to
115
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.800
break out into twenty twenty five. I think that happened,
116
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.439
and he's been named by me twenty twenty six Comedian
117
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.199
of the Year. I wrote that back to the publicist
118
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.639
and she was like, wait, who said that. I'm like, oh,
119
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.519
I did. She encouraged me to keep doing it. All right,
120
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.560
let's hook that up with some views Shelf Life volume two.
121
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.439
Jackie Fabulous has a new special on Hulu Today. In
122
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.920
the special, titled You Can Leave, Jackie Fabulous tackles topics
123
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.759
ranging from ex husband and diet pills, to menta pause
124
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.319
and what people do. The Drive You Nuts. Also out
125
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.680
on Hulu Today, Chris Spencer's new special, Goat Adjacent, presented
126
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.600
by Kevin Hart's Heartbeat. Spencer touches on everything from marriage
127
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.959
and family, aging, race, and his Jamaican roots. Some More
128
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.199
has announced a Netflix special that one called Chandelier Fly
129
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.519
that'll be out February seventeenth. So it looks like Netflix
130
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.680
is starting to roll specials out again because Kat Williams
131
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.199
is out on the tenth Tuesday specials are back. Baby.
132
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.839
Some More is a special Chandelier Fly, filmed at the
133
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.920
Gordon Theater in Detroit. She shares her takes on untimely death,
134
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.399
celebrity scandals, and cell phone companies learning to mind their business.
135
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.720
David Letterman will executive produce a Paul Schaeffer documentary. It
136
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.639
is titled appropriately Say Hello to Our good Friend, Paul Schaeffer.
137
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.079
David Letterman, in a statement, said, Paul Shaffer is a
138
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.120
show business friend who became a real friend. A comedic
139
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.319
partner who's quickness in timing saved me night after night.
140
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.759
A composer, arranger and performer with endless range. His vast
141
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.040
knowledge and list of collaborators in music make him a
142
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.519
living rock and roll Hall of Fame. There's no one
143
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.680
more worthy of an examination of his life and work.
144
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.480
You may recall, Paul Schaeffer was the sidekick on Late
145
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.160
Night with David Letterman, which launched in nineteen eighty two.
146
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.920
We just missed the anniversary. I forgot to mention it.
147
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.040
Paul was the leader of the World's Most Dangerous Band.
148
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.519
Then in nineteen ninety three, after those meetings at NBC
149
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.720
gave the Tonight Show to the Worst person who ever lived,
150
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.560
Jay Leno, Dave headed over to CBS to host the
151
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.480
Late Show. Paul went with him, and Paul was the
152
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.759
leader of the CBS Orchestra. Paul Schaeffer said, any contribution
153
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.279
I've been lucky enough to make to the world of
154
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.480
music and comedy has only been possible thanks to my
155
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.560
working alongside David Letterman. That's why worldwide pans joining to
156
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.360
help tell my story as a dream I cannot wait
157
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.160
to share with all of you. Conan O'Brien returns to
158
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:34.120
host the Oscars on Sunday, March fifteenth, seven East four West.
159
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.399
It'll be live on ABC and Hulu. Last year's Oscars
160
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.120
were very well received and the reason for today's new
161
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.279
story is the producers want us to know one hundred
162
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.759
percent of the writers and producers are back. Full writing
163
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.160
team is back, and plus they added former Conan writer
164
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.120
Todd Levin. Pandora has settled with comedians in a legal
165
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.759
dispute over spoken word content licensing. Nine comedians and their heirs,
166
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.720
including George Lopez, Lewis Black, and the estates of Robin
167
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.560
Williams and George Carlin, had been fighting since twenty twenty
168
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.879
two to increase the royalties paid when their comedy is
169
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:12.240
streamed on Pandora. There has been a confidential settlement. The
170
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.560
comedian's lawyer said we settled amicably. Mystery Science Theater three
171
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.399
thousand being revived again. I stumbled across this on my
172
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.680
own as a civilian. I wasn't even doing show prep.
173
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.879
I was just watching YouTube and I saw the announcement
174
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.279
for the kickstarter. They want to produce four new episodes.
175
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.000
The kickstarter in the first twenty four hours generated one
176
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.440
point one to seven million dollars. The original goal of
177
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.759
the kickstarter was to raise twenty grand. In celebration of
178
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:40.840
the twentieth anniversary of riff Tracks, Shout Studios now owns
179
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.360
the rights to MST three K. Shout has teamed up
180
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.720
with Rifftracks to produce new episodes of the show that
181
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.759
will see Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett return,
182
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.879
both in front end behind the screen. The four movies
183
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.960
that will be featured will be revealed over the course
184
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.519
of the campaign. Nelson, Corbett and Murphy have been performing
185
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.960
under the riff Tracks banner since two thousand and six.
186
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.600
They often do Rifftracks live screenings, so it's nice to
187
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.960
see that they're back involved in the MST three K verse.
188
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.519
There was that weird Netflix season out there. Forget that ever, happened.
189
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.039
Let's get back to the main continuity. MST three K
190
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.840
launched on a Minneapolis the UHF station in nineteen eighty eight.
191
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.639
Joel Hodgson previously revived the show via Kickstarter campaign in
192
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.320
twenty fifteen. Was it that long ago season's eleven and
193
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.679
twelve yeared on Netflix? It's ten years since the Netflix version?
194
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.360
No way, I would have guessed like three wow, and
195
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.559
then it was a thirteenth season on the online streaming platform.
196
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.279
The gizmo Plex totally missed that Eddie Murphy's son and
197
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.080
Martin Lawrence's daughter are having a baby. Eric Murphy and
198
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.360
Jasmine Lawrence announced the news. They posted thank you Jesus
199
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.720
for the greatest gift. One person commented having Eddie Murphy
200
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.120
and Martin Lawrence as your godparents is life. Another comment
201
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.519
said that maybe gonna be talented and funny as hell?
202
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.559
All right? An item on Gossip Corner. I'm not playing
203
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.440
the song because I do want to be serious here.
204
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.480
I'm seeing this on a lot of social media. There
205
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.000
is an alleged Jelayne Maxwell email asking famous sitcom star
206
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.919
and comedian. So think of a famous comedian who had
207
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.559
a sitcom? So, whoever you're imagining now. Well, apparently Julne
208
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.679
invited famous sitcom star and comedian to the island. The
209
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.759
email was shared as a screenshot in a Reddit community
210
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.320
and has gone viral. In this post email, Jelayne Maxwell
211
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.200
writes to Jeffrey Epstein, also, famous sitcom star and wife
212
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.159
are going to be sailing around Saint t twenty six
213
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.120
slash twenty seven. Can I organize for them to come
214
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.679
to the island for lemonade? Jeffrey Epstein writes back, Yes,
215
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.080
there is no proof that the famous comedian accepted the
216
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.960
lemonade invitation or dinner, or had ever been to the island.
217
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.720
That's just out there. John Stewart's name does appear in
218
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.720
the Epstein files. On Monday's Daily Show, John said, of course,
219
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.879
to get out of the story. I'm also in the files.
220
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.200
We all searched our names, right, you.
221
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.000
Guys in search your name? All right?
222
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:10.320
Well, I yeah, no, I know whatever I am in
223
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:17.039
the files. All right, this is actually true. I take
224
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.440
you to the scene. It is midnight, August twenty ninth,
225
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:26.600
twenty fifteen. Jeffrey Epstein lies wide awake, his mind turning
226
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.159
with ideas. He juts a quick note to a producer
227
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:34.480
named Barry Josephson, saying, I suggested to Woody.
228
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.039
Y'all know which Woody.
229
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.759
Right see Epstein Files. It ain't Harrelson, all right or
230
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.559
the Cowboy Toy story, you know Rich Moonty returning quote,
231
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.159
I suggested to Woody that he do an exclusive new
232
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.440
stand up routine for either Apple TV or Amazon. Oh,
233
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.559
Jeffrey Epstein always had his finger on the pulse of
234
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.799
what America was clamoring for in twenty fifteen. But Barry Josephson,
235
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.639
thinking like the out of the box television professional that
236
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.440
he was, pitched this idea, this is true quote, make
237
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.799
a true biographical experience with his stand up being the kapper.
238
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:19.480
Somebody like John Stewart could host, slash narrate the biographical part.
239
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:35.559
Excuse me, I am offended.
