00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.480
Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news Boy.

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.000
What an exciting night in Newark, New Jersey. Governor elect

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.399
Mikey Cheryl was there. The Governor elect promised the entertainment

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.239
event of a lifetime at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center,

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.640
and Jay Pack and who were there. It was an

7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.199
evening with Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert. Hope they found

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.079
something to talk about. Of course they talked about late night.

9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.679
I don't know if you heard this, Stephen Colbert show

10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.920
is coming to an end. Conan O'Brien said, I'm sad

11
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.640
about the form, but I'm a fifty two percent optimist,

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.159
and I believe that humans find a way and really

13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.960
find people who are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, twenty twenty five

14
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.399
right now are going to use what's available to make beautiful, hilarious,

15
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.960
funny things. I have to believe that it will not

16
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.600
look the same way as our path. It will not

17
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.200
be the same path, but it'll more or less be

18
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.240
the same idea. Addressing Colbert directly, one of the first

19
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.399
things I said to you when this news broke There

20
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.000
isn't a person on this planet. Who's worried about Stephen Colbert.

21
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.000
These shows are a way for Stephen Colbert to relate

22
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.159
to people, but they are not the only way. There

23
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.840
are so many different things that you can do, and

24
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.680
you're going to do that. They're gonna give you enormous

25
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.280
amounts of pleasure and you're gonna be great at it.

26
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.200
You're just not there yet. You haven't begun that yet.

27
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.760
Conan said, there's no better person I could be sharing

28
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.799
the stage with right now. The world is your oyster,

29
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.760
and double down. Whatever Colbert does next is going to

30
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.439
be amazing. Now, ABC has some news. I have news

31
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.799
for your paying attention. I'm lifting the embargo on Hulu.

32
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.599
Aside from their not so good hilarious comedy special, that's

33
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.959
a whole other thing. But if you want to just

34
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.040
push the green button on your moat and watch Scrubs

35
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.719
on Hulu, go ahead, Because ABC Disney has made it

36
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.480
clear they are not supporting fascism. Okay, why Johnny Mack.

37
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.920
They have renewed Jimmy Kimmel, which is sure to make

38
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.840
certain people unhappy, But go ahead. You don't have to

39
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.040
walk three flights of stairs to watch the Scrubs DVDs

40
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.159
go ahead and push that button, which is good news

41
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.920
for the Scrubs reboot. I mean I was gonna have

42
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.120
to stand out in the cold outside somebody's house, peering

43
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.280
through the window while they watched Scrubs, which is sometimes

44
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.640
how I watch Knicks games because YouTube TV doesn't have

45
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.000
MSG less. I'll stay out the street and somebody else

46
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.519
is watching the next game and I watch it through

47
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.040
their window. Kim Oll commented on Donald Trump hosting the

48
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.360
Kennedy Center Awards on Sunday night. The President had said

49
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.039
that if he couldn't do it better than when Jimmy

50
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.000
Kimmel hosted, he might have to give up being president altogether. Kimmell,

51
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.919
of course, has never hosted the Kennedy Center Awards, which

52
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.639
kim Oll pointed out, but he welcomed the idea of

53
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.039
a talent competition matching his own skills, which are apparently

54
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.039
jokes drawing and playing the clarinet, against Trump's ability to golf,

55
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.120
spank a porn starre and run a country. The reveal

56
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.120
came when kim Oll was talking about how apparently the

57
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.439
President did not enjoy sixty minutes this week. Kim Olds said,

58
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.240
I'm sorry you feel that way about sixty minutes, and

59
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.520
the last thing I want to do is upset you

60
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.360
at this sensitive time. But I have one more bit

61
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.080
of entertainment news to share. I have decided to extend

62
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.280
my contract here at ABC for another year. Our show

63
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.479
has been renewed until May of twenty twenty seven, or

64
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.560
until the world ends, whichever comes first. On The Late

65
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.120
Show with Stephen Colbert Tonight, your guest is Taylor Swift.

66
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.639
Speaking of Scrubs, Bill Lawrence has a new show coming

67
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.840
to a We'll have to pay attention to this one.

68
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.039
It is titled Rooster. It stars Steve Carell. One of

69
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.280
the co stars John C. McGinley, you know him as

70
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.360
Doctor Cox. Ten episodes. Rooster is a comedy set on

71
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.560
a college campus, centering on an author's complicated relationship with

72
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.280
his daughter. A lot of good pedigree there that should

73
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.840
be good. Of course, I won't be able to see

74
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.479
it because my son went to the AT and T

75
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.039
store and got a new phone and they got rid

76
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.840
of the free HBO that I had, So I'm not

77
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.319
happy with my son or the AT and T store.

78
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.479
I'm gonna have to stand out on the street looking

79
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.159
through somebody else's window while they're watching HBO and Hope

80
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.759
the Rooster's on very upset about my FREEHBO going away,

81
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.240
like very very upset. Oh the Boiler's back. Yeah. I

82
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.280
called him and I begged him like, will you please come?

83
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.639
And they came. Man, it was cold here. Sarah Sherman

84
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.240
has a special on HBO on Friday. Again. I wish

85
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.879
I could watch it, but you know, hope my son

86
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.879
enjoys his new phone. She's doing a lot of press.

87
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.759
I'm saving a lot of the press for Friday when

88
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.639
the special comes out. But one of the interviews she

89
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.599
did was with Nylon dot Com and they said, I

90
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.879
imagine people watch this special and be like, is she okay? Yeah.

91
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.000
I'm concerned that people are gonna be like, oh, Sarah's

92
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.719
so funny on Saturday Night Live, and I have no

93
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.520
idea what they're getting into when they watched this one.

94
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.240
Sarah said, it's funny. I did a show a couple

95
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.919
weeks ago when the merch table was in the room,

96
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.919
so the merch guy saw the whole show. I came

97
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.199
up to him after the show and he's like, oh

98
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.680
my god, I thought you were gonna be root and mean,

99
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.439
but you're nice. I would have hoped that in real life,

100
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.279
I'm a lot tamer, but the show's an expression of

101
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.879
some very Jewish neurosis. Embodied some spoilers for the very

102
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.519
opening Okay spoilers here, I'm not ruining the special for you,

103
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.560
but apparently the opening sequence. Sarah says, so many stand

104
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.319
up specials start with the comedian being backstage getting ready,

105
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.160
and they're in the green room. My version is that

106
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.040
I'm not in a green room. I'm in a crypt

107
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.319
and my bones and gour forming. That's my version of

108
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.399
getting ready a right, so that sets the scene for

109
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.680
what this thing's gonna be. Sarah said, the show is

110
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.079
really intense and loud and in your face. It's almost

111
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.759
like a total sensory experience. So me and the director

112
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.360
were just like, we don't want that to be flatten

113
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.800
when people are watching it on their phones on the toilet. Sarah,

114
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.720
how long does it take you to make a special?

115
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.000
She says, A really long time. I've been touring for

116
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.920
ten years and this is my first specials of the

117
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.120
material has been coming together for a while. Jesus prosthetics

118
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.720
and said, pitching it to people and being like, I

119
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.439
know this sounds crazy, but we need a little bit

120
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.160
of budget to do something because stand up specials are cheap,

121
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.959
and we're like, but what if it wasn't cheap? That's funny.

122
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.839
The guys from Please Don't Destroy they have teamed up

123
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.000
with White Claw Please Don't Destroy has created the Roast

124
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.879
Host Collection, a new line of holiday essential merch inscribed

125
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.000
with various tongue in cheek roasts you see. The collection

126
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.240
was inspired by a recent White Claw survey that found

127
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.000
that friends who regularly roast each other are nearly twice

128
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.480
as loyal as seventy eight percent, saying roasting feels playful

129
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.439
and friendly. The Royal Host Collection includes a serving plotter

130
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.240
with You're so brave for speaking before thinking, a set

131
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.639
of four dinner plates also sold individually with lines like

132
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.720
you couldn't read a room if it had subtitles and

133
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.800
unsolicited advice is your love language, as well as a

134
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.720
serving bowl of napkins with equally hilarious inscriptions. Kevin Brady

135
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.800
is the vice president of marketing for White Claw and said,

136
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.839
the holidays we're all about laughter, connection and maybe calling

137
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:01.759
out your friend who makes the group chat go silent,

138
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.040
and we love them for that. We're raising a claw

139
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.480
of the good natured bonding that makes the best friendships

140
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.160
feel even funnier and hangs more memorable. The roast Ose

141
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.560
collection of Albot white Claw dot com slash Holiday another

142
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.959
merch drop coming out today, very exciting. Meanwhile, Ricky Gervas

143
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.399
is out howking his vodka for some reason. When he

144
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.519
does it, I find it funny, And when Jim Gaffigan

145
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.759
does it, I don't know. I think it's that Ricky

146
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.199
is just blatantly telling you he's trying to make money

147
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.439
off this thing. But here's Ricky Gervis will take us

148
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.040
into the break.

149
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:37.480
Thanks to everyone who's subscribed to Dutchbarn dot com. If

150
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:42.560
you haven't go there, you go into a draw every

151
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.959
month someone wins a year's supply of vodka and if

152
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.560
you buy Ginger spiced, we help donkeys. I've also been

153
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.639
tying up the money I'm going to give to animal

154
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.360
charities from the tour through a little press release like

155
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:07.040
that next week. So yeah, Dutch Barn Mortality Donkeys Very Christmas.

156
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.040
Out today on the eight hundred pound Gorilla Channel. Luke

157
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.160
Higgy's tip Rat some more details out of Canada about that.

158
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.160
Dave Chappelle appearance. I scolded Mike from the Lehman podcast

159
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.439
on the side. I was like, I thought you people

160
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.319
were polite. Why are you being rude to Dave Chappelle?

161
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.120
And it just he apologized because that's what Canadians do.

162
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.959
Mike feels bad for the entire country being mean to

163
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.839
Dave Chappelle. Anyway, CETV spoke with one person who says

164
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.040
she was at the show. Let's hear what she has

165
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.439
to say. I have made some edits to this for pacing.

166
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.680
Dave just shut down. He said, like, I've done a

167
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.360
million shows and this is the first time. I can't

168
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.680
wait to be off stage.

169
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.360
Three quarters of the way through. That's when the crowd

170
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.759
kind of got a little rude. I'll say, yeah, rude.

171
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.240
He just stood there and he looked at his watch

172
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.680
and he's like, I could stand here for the remainder

173
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.800
of the show, for like the next ten minutes that

174
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.519
we have and like, you guys can just scream at

175
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.000
me and be ignorant or you know.

176
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.199
Shane Gillis is a Notre Dame football fan. You may

177
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.720
have heard that Notre Dame didn't make the college football

178
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.920
playoff and they were like you know what, we don't

179
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.959
need to play in any stupid bowl game. We're good.

180
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.279
Shane was appearing on the Film Guy Network and the

181
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.759
Notre Dame topic came up. Shane said he set an

182
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.199
alarm to make sure he didn't sleep through the selection show.

183
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.040
He was convinced Notre Dame would be in then after

184
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.759
Alabama showed up with the nine seed. According to Shane,

185
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.639
once you see the number nine come up and it's Bama,

186
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.200
that was worse than watching Notre Dame lose a game

187
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.320
that was terrible. That hurts. Gillis believes there is Bama bias,

188
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.840
pointing out that Alabama didn't lose any ranking despite losing

189
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.759
to Georgia twenty eight to seven in the SEC title game.

190
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.320
Shane said, I understand not penalizing a team for being

191
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.519
in the conference championship if they're competitive or at least

192
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.600
don't have minus three yushing yards. But I don't know

193
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.080
if Alabama was competitive at all. It's the SEC, it's

194
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.080
the best conference. Technically, Notre Dame didn't really beat anybody.

195
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.879
But I'm a fan. I want Notre Dame in there.

196
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.960
If you're not to college football. Notre Dame is an

197
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.720
independent they're not in any particular conference. Gillis said, it's

198
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.159
finally catching up my whole life. Everybody's been like, join

199
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.559
a conference, and he said if Notre Dame does join

200
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.519
one the Big ten or the SEC would be awesome.

201
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.759
Never the ACC after they were trayed us this year,

202
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.440
Notre Dame got screwed. Whatever, We'll be back watching that

203
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.000
selection show and having your team left out that hurt.

204
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.720
My day's ruined. And that is your comedy news for today.

205
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:25.600
I'll see you tomorrow
