1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.439
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.480
comedy news. A little bit of a weird one today.

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.199
The stories are more doom and gloom than I usually

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.600
present to you. Let's start with Nathan Fielder. He's getting

5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.320
into it with Paramount Plus. He is upset that Plus

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.719
has removed an episode of the Comedy Central series Nathan

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.960
for You. Nathan complained about this during Sunday's episode of

8
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.200
HBO's The Rehearsal. In the rehearsal, Fielder explains that one

9
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.240
of his proudest achievements is creating the Summit Ice apparel brand,

10
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.240
which he launched during season three, episode two of Nathan

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.439
for You back in twenty fifteen. The point of the

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.240
brand was to promote Holocaust awareness. In the episode of

13
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.359
the rehearsal, Nate says, in late twenty twenty three, I

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.759
discovered that the episode of Nathan for You featuring the

15
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.479
Summit Ice story mysteriously went missing from the Paramount Plus

16
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.920
streaming service. Has this gone by for two years without

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.120
any of us noticing? I don't know. In the HBO series,

18
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.760
Fielder recreates the moment he learned about the removal. He

19
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.799
directs Alexander Lyce, who's playing fake Nathan in the rehearsal,

20
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.920
to retype his email correspondent to Paramount in a voiceover,

21
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.120
real Nathan, Fielder says, this is so complicated. I wrote

22
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.439
an email to some contacts I had at Paramount asking

23
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.920
them why the episode was removed. The thing that made

24
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.640
this tricky was Paramount is currently airing a different series

25
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.120
of Mind as scripted drama that hadn't yet been renewed.

26
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.920
How I spoke to them could have career repercussions. I

27
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.000
remember wanting to convey how urgent this was for me.

28
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:39.400
My email was extremely cordial, using phrases like forever grateful

29
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.120
and happy Holidays. The network confirmed in the response that

30
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.840
it was taken down intentionally and gave me a one

31
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:50.000
word explanation as to why the word was Sensitivities Entertainment

32
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.760
Weekly dug on this, and they are reporting that they've

33
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.239
learned Paramount Plus is not streaming the episode after a

34
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.480
standards review, but it's unclear which of the company's standards

35
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.560
the episode failed to meet. Fielder's narration says. In late

36
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.159
twenty twenty three, a decision was made by Paramount Plus

37
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.879
Germany to remove the episode in their region after they

38
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.120
became uncomfortable with what they called anything that touches on

39
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.479
anti Semitism in the aftermath of the Israel Hamas attacks.

40
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.879
Nathan claims the German decision caused other countries to remove

41
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.800
the episode, quoting the narration, before long, the ideology of

42
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.719
Paramount Plus Germany had spread to the entire globe, eliminating

43
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.319
all Jewish content that made them uncomfortable. This is real,

44
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.879
by the way. Fielder then shared some stats about programming

45
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.520
currently available in the US on Paramount Plus. According to

46
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.360
Fielders narration, on the Paramount app, there are fifty results

47
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.439
for Nazi, ten for Hitler, and zero for Judaism. We've

48
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.599
been erased anyway. You will find the rehearsal on max

49
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.919
if you want to check that out for yourself. Joe

50
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.280
Cooi has commented on a tragedy at a recent Filipino

51
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.560
Canadian street festival in Vancouver, where eleven people were killed

52
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.199
dozens more injured a man drove a black suv through

53
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.120
a crowd who had gathered for the festival. On his

54
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.800
Facebook page, Joe coy said, I am heartbroken here what

55
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.120
took place at the Vancouver Filipino festival. This is supposed

56
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.599
to be an event that honors and celebrates our beautiful culture,

57
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.479
and now we're mourning the loss of eleven lives that

58
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.319
were taken too soon. My heart goes out to everyone

59
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.800
who's affected by this horrific event. I love you. Meanwhile,

60
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.800
Kevin Hart has canceled his tour of India, which was

61
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.080
scheduled to begin tomorrow this after a terror attack in

62
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:30.039
p Holgum. The organizers posted a statement on Instagram saying

63
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.319
important update. In light of the recent tragic events, we

64
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.919
along with Kevin Hart's team, have decided to cancel the

65
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.199
upcoming Delhi show scheduled for April thirtieth. We are working

66
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.280
closely with Kevin Hort's team on a new schedule and

67
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.599
we'll share updates soon. While we were looking forward to

68
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.400
gathering with all of you, we believe it's important to

69
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.719
pause and stand in solidarity with all those affected. This

70
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.599
terror attack took place on April twenty second and claimed

71
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.240
the lives of twenty six people. Now there is no

72
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.039
way to smoothly transition into the rest of the news.

73
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.120
Those were three heavy stories to start the show, which

74
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.919
is why at the beginning I told you your typical show.

75
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.960
So let me just jump at the pool and tell you.

76
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.599
Sebastian Maniscalco will start in Apple's first original scripted podcast.

77
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.840
This one is called Easy Money The Charles Ponzi Story

78
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.199
eight part series premiering June twenty third. It traces the

79
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.560
rise and fall of the man who gave the Ponzi

80
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.839
scheme his name. Ponzi was an Italian immigrant who in

81
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.480
nineteen twenty defrauded the modern day equivalent of a quarter

82
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.439
of a billion dollars. Now this is a I assume

83
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.800
an audio podcast, but they showed mister Ponzi and Sebastian's

84
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.560
side by side. It's good physical casting. Sebastian looks a

85
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.360
lot more like mister Ponzie than say I do. Man

86
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.319
of Scalco said, Charles Ponzie was a larger than life character.

87
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.600
He wasn't just a con artist. He was the con artist.

88
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.800
Stepping into his shoes and bringing this unbelievab story to

89
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.519
life has been a wild ride. Easy Money The Charles

90
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.959
Ponzie Story is a fascinating look at the man who

91
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.360
wrote the playbook for modern scams, and Johnny Mack will

92
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.199
comment that sentence clearly written by a publicist, There's no way.

93
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.639
Sebastian just off the top of his head, phrased it

94
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.360
easy money. The Charles Ponzie story is a fascinat look

95
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.199
at the man who wrote the playbook for modern scams,

96
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.360
a masterclass in term deception and the price of believing

97
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.839
in something too good to be true. It's always sunny.

98
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.600
Season seventeen comes back, well not season seventeen, but the

99
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.920
show comes back July ninth. This is the second half

100
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.560
of the crossover with Abbott. Elementary Charlie Day has indicated

101
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.319
that he and Rob and Glenn are already working on

102
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.519
season eighteen. That's great. Charlie was on Andrew Santino's golf

103
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.160
podcast No Bad Lies, and Charlie explains, in this town,

104
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.399
when you get the opportunity to do something, you take it.

105
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.639
Plus it's been great for me. I don't know, it's

106
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.720
kept me in town. I'm getting on the back half

107
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.000
of raising his sun. I've been around. He knows who

108
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.959
I am. There was a time when there were a

109
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.839
lot of big comedy movies happening, and I thought maybe

110
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.199
I was gonna be on the road more often, and

111
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.680
those just kind of dried up. So I'm glad I

112
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.759
didn't quit my TV day job. You know, here's John's advice.

113
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.199
Never quit a hit show. Like say you're Kelsey Grimmer

114
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.240
and somebody says, hey, you want to be Fraser. You

115
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.720
get I think he did eight seasons of Cheers, eleven

116
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.519
more of Fraser and then two more of the other

117
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.800
other Fraser. That's a good gig. Hey, Patrick Stewart, you

118
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.000
want to be Captain Picard. Sure, I'll be Captain McCard.

119
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.800
And I've heard Patrick Stewart explain this. By being Captain

120
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.480
McCard it gives him the money to do Shakespeare in

121
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.279
the Park for free, which is what he really wants

122
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.920
to do. So sure, I'll do seven seasons of the

123
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.879
Next Generation. I'll do three seasons of Picard. I'll make

124
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.399
four movies. Why not never quit a hit show. Jay

125
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.839
Leno showing up in the news a lot lately. He

126
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.560
did a podcast called In Depth with Graham and Bensinger.

127
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.920
I have downloaded it. I didn't get a chance to

128
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.920
listen to it yet. One of the stories Leno told

129
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.160
was about when Jimmy Kimmel came on my show and

130
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.240
humiliated me on my own show. I let it happen

131
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.360
I didn't edit it. It was my mistake. I trusted

132
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.519
somebody and went, ah, I made a mistake. Okay, I

133
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.240
should pay the price. And it's fine. I mean, we

134
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.240
could have edited out of the show. Graham was curious

135
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.879
why he didn't make the edit. Leno said, because it happened.

136
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.959
It's real, it happened. It's my mistake. It's how you learn.

137
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.480
It's not good TV for me because it started a

138
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.920
whole thing that continues to this day. Really, but it's okay,

139
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.319
it's all right. He's a comic. Gotta do what you

140
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.519
gotta do. I mean, I wouldn't have done it, but

141
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.000
that's okay, that's all right. It is what it is.

142
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.120
You may recall back in twenty ten, Kimmel went on

143
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.319
The Tonight Show and gave Leno the business for the

144
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.839
whole Leno Conan Back to Leno thing. During the interview,

145
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.639
Leno asked Kimmel about the best prank he ever pulled.

146
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.839
Kimmel said, and this is both vicious and hilarious. I

147
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.319
told the guy that five years from now, I'm going

148
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.519
to give you my show. And then when the five

149
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.759
years came, I gave it to him. And then I

150
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.480
took it back almost instantly. In twenty seventeen, Jimmy Kimmel

151
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.839
told The Hollywood Reporter that the two comedians had made peace.

152
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.879
This after Jimmy Sun underwent open heart surgery. Jay told

153
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.560
the reporter, Jay and I have made peace. After my

154
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.199
son had his operation. He called me and he was

155
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.399
very nice. However, after Conan hosted the Oscars, Kimmel Joe

156
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.360
Conan did such a good job. The Oscars announced that

157
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.519
next year they're giving it to Jay Leno, which is

158
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:44.800
just a joke. I don't think he can get too

159
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.519
angry about that one. Bert Kreischer was on The Jennifer

160
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.120
Hudson Show, and the Internet is all a buzz because

161
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.279
on the show's Instagram we see that this is shocking.

162
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.000
You're not gonna believe this. Bert Kreischer took his shirt off.

163
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.560
That's right, yes, so I've never heard of that before.

164
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.199
Bert Krescher took off his shirt before making his way

165
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:06.360
through Jennifer Hudson's Spirit Tunnel as crew members saying Nelly's

166
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.560
it's hot in here. The show even captured the clip

167
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.920
on Instagram. It's getting hot in here with at Bert Krascher.

168
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.000
So in a shocking development. It was Saturday night and

169
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.399
I was awake at ten o'clock. That may have had

170
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.439
something to do with Johnny Mack passed out in the

171
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.560
chair playing MLB the show twenty five from like five

172
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.720
point thirty to seven. It might have had something to

173
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.839
do with that. So at ten o'clock I was like, Oh,

174
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.799
Brett Goldstein is on Max right now, I will watch it.

175
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.679
I enjoyed it. I found it really nice company. Is

176
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.080
it the most hilarious thing I've ever heard? No, but

177
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.879
I just enjoyed spending the hour with Brett Goldstein. The

178
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.200
specials called second best Night of your Life, and I

179
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.759
have added it to my best of twenty five list,

180
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.759
which is very thin. Right now. I have in the

181
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.120
top tier Krasier, Goldstein, and Tim Dillon in that order,

182
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.519
and none of those will be number one. We'll obviously

183
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.879
bretton Tim won't because they're already two and three. But

184
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.360
Bert should not be the best special of the year.

185
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.039
If it is, it's been a pretty poor year. These

186
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.759
will be in the top tier, but they should be

187
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.039
at the bottom of the top tier if we have

188
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.840
a typical twenty twenty five. I also have my middle

189
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.679
tier of perfectly fine specials of Roy Wood, Ari Shafir

190
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.559
and Gabe Iglesias, and I actually want to add one.

191
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.960
I'll do that right now. I've typed in the number

192
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.399
four and I will tell you who number four is.

193
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:30.000
It's Jessica Curson. Yeah, I put that on now. This

194
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.799
is when I get into my It's not comedy snobbery,

195
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.080
but if you listen enough, you can tell I kind

196
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.120
of like quirky things and alt things, and I definitely

197
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.519
like British comedians. I'm aware of all those biases. I have.

198
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.639
Jessica's show I think for a casual someone who's sitting

199
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.919
down and saying, hey, I just want to watch comedy special.

200
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.759
I don't know too much about stand up. If they

201
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.120
hit play, they're gonna go wow. That was really funny.

202
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.120
I really like her and it is funny. It reminded

203
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.200
me a lot of the Bobby Slaton style of comedy.

204
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:04.159
And it's not my cup of tea, but it's a

205
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.919
perfectly fine comedy special. Does that makes sense? So not

206
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.279
for me, but might be for you. Check out Jessica Curson.

207
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.679
In fact, I think the average person will prefer Jessica

208
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.440
over Brett. But I really liked Brett. I just found

209
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.399
it easy on the ears and enjoyed hanging out with

210
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.039
Britt Goldstein four an hour on Saturday Night. It looks

211
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.600
like comedian Benny Elbows did break the world record for

212
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.080
the world's longest stand up comedy set. The video has

213
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.320
to be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records

214
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.360
for official confirmation. We'll see what they wind up saying.

215
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.759
In the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group, Aaron

216
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.440
shared an article titled some SNL fans are worried about

217
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.480
Colin Joe's future on the show, and they could have

218
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.639
a point. All right, So what's going on here for

219
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.440
the season finale? Scarlett Johansson is your host? Scarlett Johansson

220
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.879
married to Colin Jost. Also, somebody has done the math

221
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.919
that episode will be Colin Jost's two hundredth time doing

222
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.120
weekend update. That has got the internet a buzz in

223
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.320
two ways. One is Colin Jost leaving SNL and or

224
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.120
is Colin Jost going to take over for Lorne Michaels.

225
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.360
I think if you're going to leave SNL, this is

226
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.080
the year to get out. On fifty I don't think

227
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.279
you want to be part of season fifty one, unless

228
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.039
you're planning on sticking around for a while. That said,

229
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.480
did you listen to Johnny Mack earlier in the show?

230
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.759
Don't leave a hit show. It's steady work. It's a

231
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.399
steady profile. Having a steady profile gets you other work. Colin,

232
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.000
you could just sit at that desk for another ten years.

233
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.120
You probably should. As for Colin taking over for Lorne,

234
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.559
I find that interesting. I never met Colin, but his

235
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.519
public persona makes me think maybe he doesn't have the

236
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.120
right public persona to fight with the network. That takes

237
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.759
a special skill. I feel like something like Tina Fey

238
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.000
might have more what I call hit points than a

239
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.279
Colin Jost who just seems like a nice, cheerful guy

240
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.159
who would come in and be like gerr NBC executives,

241
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.320
I'm angry. Whereas I could see Tina's pretty up there

242
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.960
in the entertainment industry, and I feel like she could

243
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.679
throw her weight around a little bit more like if

244
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.360
things went sideways, Tina Fey steps down from SNL would

245
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.759
be a major headline. Colin Joe steps down from SNL

246
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.360
would be a headline, and then the next paragraph would

247
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.440
be he will be succeeded by a person who's taking

248
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.200
over the show again. Not at dissent Colin, it's just

249
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.200
his public persona. Maybe he's a total hard ass mini

250
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.879
behind the scenes. I don't know, but that's just my take.

251
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.919
And I'm a guy who records a podcast in a basement,

252
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.679
So what do I know. That is your comedy news

253
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.120
for today, See you tomorrow.
