Nikki Glaser Apologizes, Taylor Tomlinson Explains After Midnight Exit

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac covers influencer Brielle Adams-Wheatley’s Instagram call-out of a standup bit attributed to Nikki Glaser about Adams-Wheatley (a trans creator born with no limbs); Glaser apologizes in messages, says the joke was inaccurately described but still “dumb,” and says she’ll remove it. He highlights Yakov Smirnoff on Joe Rogan describing his family listening to Voice of America, fear in the USSR, and leaving after a Jimmy Carter grain-for-exit deal. He discusses Taylor Tomlinson’s new book excerpts about quitting After Midnight after years of overwork, not calling Stephen Colbert first, CBS refusing a fill-in host when she was sick, and his theory that dropping 12:30 may have influenced broader late-night decisions. He plugs his new podcast Is Late Night Dead?, notes Seth Meyers’ NBC comedy The Game Room, reports Colbert’s marquee name removal, previews Netflix’s Hot or Cold with Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade, and discusses UK Celebrity Traitors comedians while asking for American casting ideas.

00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:04.580
Calaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:27.309 --> 00:00:31.070
Called out Nikki Glaser over a stand-up joke via Instagram stories,

3
00:00:31.289 --> 00:00:34.250
as one does. Now, relevant to the details here, Adams

4
00:00:34.289 --> 00:00:37.210
Wheatley was born with no limbs and is trans. Stay

5
00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:40.590
with me. A fan messaged Adams Wheatley on Instagram to

6
00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.840
say they had attended Nikki Glaser's show in Ridgefield, Washington.

7
00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:46.469
and felt that Adams Wheatley should know that she was

8
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:48.729
being referenced in the set. The fan wrote, Adams Wheatley

9
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:50.609
asked what had been said. The fan described the joke

10
00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:52.530
according to the third party of the article John is

11
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:55.070
cribbing from said the fan said Nikki Glaser said. So

12
00:00:55.130 --> 00:01:11.750
let's put a major asterisk out here, okay? But that

13
00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:14.790
version of the story has Nikki Glaser saying something like,

14
00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:17.049
She said that you already have a hard life with

15
00:01:17.109 --> 00:01:20.189
no limbs, but still decided to transition. Then something about

16
00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:22.540
how you had to since you rubbed your penis off

17
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.939
with the way you drag yourself across the room. Again,

18
00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:27.000
that is attributed to Nikki Glaser. I was not in

19
00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:30.780
the audience. That got booed during the performance, according to

20
00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:34.060
the recap I'm reading from. Adams Wheatley then posted the

21
00:01:34.109 --> 00:01:38.250
conversation to her Instagram story, tagging Nikki Glaser and asking,

22
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.010
Why are you making comments about what is or isn't

23
00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:44.810
in my pants? Glazer responded, apparently, it's a dumb joke.

24
00:01:45.310 --> 00:01:49.170
In messages later shared by Adams Wheatley, Nikki Glazer apologized

25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.299
and said she should have reached out before including her

26
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.780
in the routine. We were told Nikki Glaser wrote, Nikki

27
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.420
also addressed the framing of the joke, writing, Nikki then

28
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:56.640
ended her message saying she would remove the joke from

29
00:01:56.659 --> 00:02:21.750
her set moving forward. Very interesting. I found this next

30
00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:25.250
clip super compelling. I kind of wanted to lead off

31
00:02:25.289 --> 00:02:26.860
with it, but the way podcasts work, you got to

32
00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:28.860
lead with the tabloidy stuff. This one is a little

33
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.139
more serious, but I found it super compelling. This is

34
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.659
Yakov Smirnoff on the Joe Rogan experience. The topic, Yakov's

35
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.900
father listening to the Voice of America. What did he

36
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.780
get out of listening to Voice of America? Like what

37
00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:43.710
was he, did he talk about it?

38
00:02:43.909 --> 00:02:47.650
Yeah, yeah. I would then start also waking up and

39
00:02:47.990 --> 00:02:52.580
listening and it would be just, standard American thing. Give

40
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.280
me you're tired, you're hungry, you're poor, something like that. And,

41
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.120
you know, and they would that there's a Statue of

42
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.740
Liberty waiting to greet you if you come to the

43
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.419
United States. And he would always say, you know, this

44
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.189
this would be something that I would love you to experience.

45
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:18.810
And and my mom was she hated that because she

46
00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:22.840
was afraid that we'll get in trouble. And so she

47
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.419
didn't want to even talk about this. So if I

48
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.039
drew a picture as a kid, I would draw a

49
00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:31.879
picture of Statue of Liberty. And she would like, don't

50
00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:34.990
do that. Don't let anybody see this. We'll get in trouble.

51
00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:41.469
And when, after I experienced the cruises and got to

52
00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:46.349
know this different environment, I came home and I go, mom, dad,

53
00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:50.289
I think we should consider tried to get out of,

54
00:03:50.750 --> 00:03:54.949
and mom was like mad at my dad. And my

55
00:03:55.009 --> 00:03:58.150
dad stood up, which was good for him at that time.

56
00:03:58.229 --> 00:04:01.270
Normally he would just be quiet, but he said to

57
00:04:01.289 --> 00:04:05.400
my mom, Clara, don't you, would you like your son,

58
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:09.500
when he is my age, sit there by the radio

59
00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:14.080
and listen to Voice of America, hoping, wishing that he

60
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.620
would be doing something like that? or would you like

61
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.939
him to be in America doing this? And my mom

62
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.680
kind of went, you know what's going to happen when

63
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.920
we apply for a visa? People who consider your friends,

64
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.279
they will cross the street, and they will not want

65
00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:38.199
to talk to you and be seen with you, and

66
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:45.579
you're going to go through hell. And my dad said, yeah.

67
00:04:46.069 --> 00:04:49.920
We will. And she said, well, if you're willing to

68
00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:51.500
do it, so am I.

69
00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:54.660
Smirnoff went on to say Jimmy Carter wanted to see

70
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.319
some human rights in the Soviet Union and the Soviet leadership.

71
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.839
They were starving. They didn't have food. So they needed

72
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.060
food from America. So Jimmy Carter made a deal that

73
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.129
we're going to give you green and you allow people

74
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:05.490
to get out. And that's how we were kind of

75
00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:07.529
exchanged for some wheat. You know, that's how we got out.

76
00:05:08.930 --> 00:05:11.970
Joe Rogan said, wow, sometimes you need to be reminded

77
00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:14.189
how fortunate you are. You know, Americans in particular are

78
00:05:14.550 --> 00:05:16.519
You know, it's not our fault. People become accustomed to

79
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:18.399
where they live, and they think this is normal, which

80
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.430
is one of the reasons why this push towards communism

81
00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:23.079
among young people is so infuriating to me. But the

82
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.500
solution is not to make the government decide who gets what,

83
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.920
because they never decide the right way. Taylor Tomlinson has

84
00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:30.959
a new book. She's making the rounds. We'll be talking

85
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.519
about her a lot as she does the publicity. The

86
00:05:33.550 --> 00:05:37.350
Daily Beast zoned in on the part where Taylor Tomlinson

87
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:39.810
tells Stephen Colbert, hey, I don't want to do the

88
00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.730
1230 show anymore. Taylor explains in the book why she

89
00:05:42.750 --> 00:05:45.009
chose to step down from, I'm trying to remember what

90
00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:47.110
the show was even called. John, you host a comedy podcast,

91
00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:49.930
I can't remember, later, later, after midnight, after midnight. That's

92
00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:52.949
what it was called, after midnight. Taylor Thomas has said,

93
00:05:53.449 --> 00:05:55.509
I realized this wasn't just a bad year, a tough moment,

94
00:05:55.529 --> 00:05:58.680
a difficult chapter. It was the inevitable result of a

95
00:05:58.750 --> 00:06:01.259
decade of overworking myself. Quitting the show was one of

96
00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:04.620
the hardest decisions I've ever made. Nearly 200 people worked

97
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.620
on After Midnight. My leaving could jeopardize a job they loved.

98
00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:10.199
I almost stayed for that reason alone. Let me jump

99
00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.750
in here because I have talked about this on the

100
00:06:11.769 --> 00:06:16.709
podcast before, but. I'm heading somewhere with this. So here's

101
00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:19.069
what I have floated as a theory. And before I

102
00:06:19.089 --> 00:06:20.970
float my theory once again, if you've heard this before,

103
00:06:21.569 --> 00:06:26.620
I am not blaming Taylor Tomlinson for anything. Did I

104
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680
say that clearly enough? Okay, but here's my theory, all right?

105
00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:32.120
So CBS is sailing along. You may recall they had

106
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.240
renewed the 1230 show with Terri Lynn Thompson. They wanted

107
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.259
it back, and she had said yes. Then a couple

108
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.430
weeks later, maybe a couple months later, she stepped down.

109
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:42.509
And then they decided, huh, what if we didn't have

110
00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:46.350
a 1230 show? And my theory is because of that,

111
00:06:46.810 --> 00:06:49.689
that made them go, huh. What if we didn't have

112
00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:54.009
an 1130 show, which led to Colbert's demise? Because stay

113
00:06:54.029 --> 00:06:57.040
with me. Assuming you take at face value that Colbert's

114
00:06:57.060 --> 00:07:00.180
show was really expensive, etc., etc. So what was the plan?

115
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.540
Were they going to have Byron Allen at 1130 and

116
00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:05.439
Taylor Tomlinson off on an island at 1230? Or would

117
00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:09.170
they have moved Taylor Tomlinson to 1130, which is probably

118
00:07:09.189 --> 00:07:12.089
a less expensive show to produce than Colbert's was, and

119
00:07:12.129 --> 00:07:15.639
Byron Allen at 1230? So I think there might be

120
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.720
a butterfly effect. Again, I am not blaming Taylor Tomlinson,

121
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.050
but I think her decision to walk away maybe perhaps

122
00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:26.550
possibly led to executives who came to terms with the

123
00:07:26.589 --> 00:07:30.269
idea of not having a 12.30 show and then somebody going, huh,

124
00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:32.490
what if we didn't have an 11.30 show? I've been

125
00:07:32.509 --> 00:07:35.430
in a lot of conference rooms with media executives, and

126
00:07:35.449 --> 00:07:39.170
I think maybe perhaps possibly that could have happened. Not

127
00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:42.410
blaming Taylor Tomlinson. Taylor says she didn't talk to Stephen

128
00:07:42.449 --> 00:07:44.879
Colbert before deciding to quit, and she later regretted it

129
00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:48.579
when he called. She said, I spent that call with Stephen, Mr. Colbert,

130
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.379
not sure how to address him, crying and apologizing before

131
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.439
I got off the phone, shaking with shame. I felt

132
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.980
awful and guilty and yet again disappointing. Yeah, she probably

133
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.959
should have called him if he was the godfather of

134
00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:01.360
the show. Yeah, that's bad for him. She continued, I

135
00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:03.610
understand why he was upset. He had told me to

136
00:08:03.670 --> 00:08:05.389
call him if I ever needed to talk about anything,

137
00:08:05.509 --> 00:08:07.089
and I hadn't called him about this. I wasn't trying

138
00:08:07.110 --> 00:08:09.470
to blindside him. I was just afraid to bother someone

139
00:08:09.509 --> 00:08:12.600
so important and busy. This is why we have agents.

140
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.389
Agents do this sort of thing. Taylor, you know this. Taylor,

141
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:19.449
agents do this. Colbert discovered the star on social media,

142
00:08:19.470 --> 00:08:22.189
telling Entertainment Weekly in 2024. When she was just starting out,

143
00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:24.230
the algorithm started feeding her to me years ago. I

144
00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:27.540
remember thinking, who is this special woman? Taylor said when

145
00:08:27.569 --> 00:08:30.100
Colbert got the news, it must have been infuriating and confusing.

146
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.059
Watching someone you believed in, someone you would hire for

147
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.860
what is objectively a dream job, throw it away. Nobody

148
00:08:34.899 --> 00:08:37.450
just walks away from a television show. Yes, Tomlinson wrote...

149
00:08:59.870 --> 00:09:01.750
She wrote that the biggest change she needed was for

150
00:09:01.789 --> 00:09:03.889
CBS to allow a fill-in host when she was sick.

151
00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:06.019
She said, I was told CBS would just play a

152
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.019
rerun and the crew would lose a day's work. So

153
00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:10.980
regardless of my health, I never missed a day. She concludes,

154
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.879
what's the quote? You can't set yourself on fire to

155
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.960
keep others warm. Some days this comforts me. Other days

156
00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:17.720
I think I should have gone up in flames.

157
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.159
Wow.

158
00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:22.409
All right, so this brings us to I've Started Another Podcast.

159
00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:25.970
It is called Is Late Night Dead? Hopefully the title

160
00:09:26.029 --> 00:09:29.230
tells you what it is. It debuts Sunday, in its

161
00:09:29.309 --> 00:09:31.929
own feed. It is called Is Late Night Dead? I

162
00:09:31.970 --> 00:09:35.889
will eventually repurpose the episodes as bonus episodes in this feed.

163
00:09:35.970 --> 00:09:40.279
But for now, it's its own thing. And I'm eventually

164
00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:43.120
going to explore the premise of Is Late Night Dead?

165
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.299
But I'm using the punchy title to get people to

166
00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:50.070
sample the show. I'm waxing poetic about my love of

167
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.549
late night. And my love of late night all starts

168
00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:56.059
with Late Night with David Letterman, the 1230 version. And

169
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.809
that will be this weekend's episode. So this week, I

170
00:09:58.850 --> 00:10:01.409
don't solve the question. is late night dead this week

171
00:10:01.889 --> 00:10:04.340
I wax poetic about late night with David Letterman so

172
00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:07.759
please follow the podcast is late night dead now as

173
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.799
for the late night franchise itself the 1230 NBC show

174
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.539
hashtag make a 1230 great again I have many times

175
00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:16.899
spoken about how I just don't feel like Seth Meyers

176
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.740
is the worthy successor to David Letterman and and Conan O'Brien.

177
00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:22.240
I'll leave Jimmy Fallon out of it. He had a

178
00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:24.659
cup of coffee there. But I just don't feel like

179
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.840
Seth is late night-y, you know? If Seth was doing

180
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.700
his thing at 1.30 or on another channel, fine. But

181
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.759
it just doesn't feel like the late night franchise to me.

182
00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:35.950
I want somebody who's out there, like a Chris Fleming

183
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:38.669
or a Robbie Hoffman would be amazing at 12.30.

184
00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:39.009
Come on.

185
00:10:39.549 --> 00:10:43.169
Anyway, Seth Meyers is back to work on Late Night

186
00:10:43.190 --> 00:10:46.250
with Seth Meyers. Hashtag make 12.30 great again. He's also

187
00:10:46.289 --> 00:10:49.049
working on a new project with NBC called The Game Room.

188
00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:54.120
It's a half-hour workplace comedy called The Game Room, and

189
00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:57.220
we're told the log line is under wraps because, you know,

190
00:10:57.539 --> 00:11:00.320
you wouldn't want that to leak out. And over at

191
00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:03.740
Colbert's Old Haunt and David Letterman's Second Haunt, or Third

192
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.940
if you want to count the morning show, CBS has

193
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.019
taken down Stephen Colbert's name from the Ed Sullivan Theater.

194
00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:11.830
The marquee that had said Late Show with Stephen Colbert

195
00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:15.230
now says Ed Sullivan Theater, which people are outraged about,

196
00:11:15.309 --> 00:11:19.169
but I don't think that's crazy. I am tremendously excited

197
00:11:19.210 --> 00:11:22.490
about this. If you watch Last One Laughing UK, you

198
00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:24.840
know how funny Bob Mortimer is and you know how

199
00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:27.759
funny Richard Ayoade is. Now, what if we put them

200
00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:31.179
together on a show called Hot or Cold? This is

201
00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:34.179
heading to Netflix of all places. Hot or Cold is

202
00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:38.509
set inside a mysterious institution where contestants tackle challenges with

203
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:42.210
no obvious logic. That's a lot of fun. The premise

204
00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:45.090
takes the classic childhood guessing game and hands it to

205
00:11:45.129 --> 00:11:48.490
adults who Netflix says really should know better. Players get

206
00:11:48.610 --> 00:11:51.250
no instructions. Their only guide is the room itself, which

207
00:11:51.309 --> 00:11:53.889
glows red when they're getting warmer and blue when they're

208
00:11:53.909 --> 00:11:57.029
getting colder. I love it. Bob Mortimer said, Spending time

209
00:11:57.049 --> 00:11:59.269
with Richard Ayoade is one of my all-time favorite things

210
00:11:59.289 --> 00:12:01.620
to do, closely followed by playing hot or cold, so

211
00:12:01.750 --> 00:12:04.679
this has worked out brilliantly. Love that quote. Ayoade, best

212
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.200
known for the IT crowd or IT crowd and the

213
00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:10.179
former host of Travelman, which is just a If you've

214
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.820
never seen that, go on Amazon, look up Travelman. So basically,

215
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.679
Richard Ayoade goes somewhere, usually in Europe, for a long

216
00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:18.090
weekend and is not impressed by any of it. It

217
00:12:18.129 --> 00:12:20.370
is one of my favorite pieces of television. I love

218
00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:22.590
him so much, and he should be the next Doctor Who.

219
00:12:22.830 --> 00:12:24.309
Can we all agree on that? How do we make

220
00:12:24.330 --> 00:12:30.230
that happen? Richard said, It's been instructive to participate in

221
00:12:30.269 --> 00:12:33.289
something as binary as this. Okay, that sentence alone, if

222
00:12:33.330 --> 00:12:36.340
you're ever like, what kind of humor does Johnny Mac like?

223
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.779
That's it. That sentence about hot or cold, although I

224
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.320
prefer mild temperatures. That is wonderful. Right there is everything.

225
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.330
Hot or cold coming soon. to Netflix. James Acaster has

226
00:12:48.350 --> 00:12:51.570
suggested that having a lot of comedians on UK Celebrity

227
00:12:51.629 --> 00:12:55.450
Traitors could become a problem as the comedians could become

228
00:12:55.610 --> 00:12:56.529
obvious suspects.

229
00:12:56.629 --> 00:12:56.929
Hmm.

230
00:12:57.389 --> 00:13:01.220
Celebrity Traitors on BBC One and on the Pirate Ship,

231
00:13:01.509 --> 00:13:03.149
if you know what I mean. I might go out

232
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.200
to sea and watch an episode or two. Just saying.

233
00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:08.179
Although I think Peacock actually shows those. No, no, no

234
00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:11.779
Pirate Ship. Sorry. Subscribe to Peacock like a good, honorable citizen.

235
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.259
That's all you have to do to watch UK Traitors. Anyway,

236
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.029
I'm all into it. Episodes will air, at least in

237
00:13:17.049 --> 00:13:19.350
the UK, two nights a week on Thursday and Friday.

238
00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:23.929
Some of the comedians include James Acaster, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett,

239
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.879
Rob Beckett, Miranda Hart, and Romesh Raganathan. Acaster joked about

240
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.899
the odds being stacked against the comics. He said, even

241
00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:33.759
though it could obviously easily be three people who aren't comedians,

242
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.889
meaning the traitors... I don't know how it works out,

243
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.379
but if math turns against us, we're in big trouble.

244
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.940
So here's my question to you guys. Who would be

245
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.379
good on American celebrity traders? So I put some thought

246
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.399
into this. And I think you need a specific kind

247
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.379
of comedian. Like the Austin guys, even if you got

248
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.580
them to do it, they're not going to take it seriously.

249
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.259
Like Tom Segura is not going to take celebrity traders seriously.

250
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.200
So I'm like, who would take it seriously? So you

251
00:13:58.220 --> 00:14:01.000
need somebody like Jim Gaffigan, I think would be great

252
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:06.070
at celebrity traders. Mulaney might actually buy into it. Controversial

253
00:14:06.149 --> 00:14:09.240
manga comedian Nate Borghese would probably be really good at it.

254
00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:11.990
So I think you need that type of comedian. Let's

255
00:14:12.009 --> 00:14:14.529
hear when Carlos Mencia, too. He's been very interesting in

256
00:14:14.549 --> 00:14:14.889
the press.

257
00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:15.250
I don't know.

258
00:14:15.309 --> 00:14:18.309
So go on the Facebook group, Daily Comedy News Podcast group.

259
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:22.509
Tell me who would be good for American celebrity traders, comedians.

260
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.639
And that is your comedy news for today. I'm going

261
00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:27.659
to go change outfits, even though I'm recording a bunch

262
00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:29.379
of these in a row. So those of you watching

263
00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:32.549
on YouTube aren't like, hey, does he ever shower? I shower,

264
00:14:32.750 --> 00:14:35.149
just not during a marathon recording session. See you tomorrow.
