00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny mack back Live. I'm back

2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.039
from Antarctica. No really, I was in Antarctica. I'll talk

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.719
about that after the break, but let's catch up Nicki

4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.079
Glazer on the Golden Globes. I thought she was fantastic.

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.960
I really enjoyed her monologue. It was a nice traditional

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.920
I called it Johnny Carson style monologue, where you just

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:28.920
call out the people in the audience and say something

8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.160
funny about them. Be the equivalent of me going and

9
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.000
Scott Beckett is here. Scott's excited about the Golden Globes

10
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.399
because it means I won't play the Joe Coy joke anymore,

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.759
you know, that kind of harmless spanter among friends. I

12
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.119
thought she was really, really good. Nicki shared some details

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.520
with Howard Stern, saying I got paid pretty I'm good

14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.479
with that. There was a past host who said how

15
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.359
much he got in his monologue, and I got less

16
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.119
than that. I'll come back to that, but that's okay.

17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.920
I'll get more next year. I feel well paid for

18
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.159
what I do. I'm all right. I like cause she's

19
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.280
assuming she's hosting next year. That said, it should be

20
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.799
a great choice. Obviously, The speculation is she's referring to

21
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.359
Gerard Carmichael, who hosted in twenty twenty three. He disclosed

22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.519
on stage that was paid half a million dollars for

23
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.760
his hosting gig. You may recall the Golden Globes had

24
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.200
to rebuild the ceremony was canceled in twenty twenty two

25
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.200
after the controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's a

26
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.560
lack of diversity. But I think even after last year

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.799
with you know Who making the joke about you know Who,

28
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.719
the Golden Globes are back. Baby, It's a thing again.

29
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.719
I think it's a chair that people will want to host.

30
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.760
But Nikki Glazer did great and said if they'll have

31
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.799
me back for twenty twenty six, I'm all in the

32
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.480
first time. You just want to prove yourself and I

33
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.920
feel like I did that. She sure did. She shared

34
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.040
with Howard some jokes cut from the monologue, some of

35
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.959
them which she obviously would have told better. This is

36
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.359
the last time all of you will be in the

37
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.760
same room together until the Diddy trial. That is a

38
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.879
great joke, she explained. They had another Diddy mention that

39
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.840
worked better, And you're kind of accusing the people in

40
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.359
the room of being involved in that, and they might

41
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.359
turn on you. Another joke I loved conclave. It's about

42
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.680
choosing any poop. It was heartwarming. It'll touch you so

43
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.719
much that the church will have to move to another theater.

44
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.680
Hot tip. You don't need ID to get into the

45
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.680
conclave after party, She explained, we didn't do that because

46
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.120
there were Catholic joke pedophile jokes. We've all heard them.

47
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.319
We don't need more of that. A tag to her

48
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.439
joke about calling Adrian Brody a two time Holocaust survivor

49
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:15.879
for his appearance in two Holocaust movies, The Pianist and

50
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.520
the Brutalist, dropped from that joke was the tag if

51
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.599
Adrian Brody could go back in time, he would thank

52
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.159
Baby Hitler for his career. Nicki said, I love that

53
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.199
one so much, but my assistant is gen Z and

54
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.560
she was like, I don't get it. Nicki explained, Oh,

55
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.439
we're gonna lose a whole generation on that joke, and

56
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.039
then I've said Hitler for nothing. Another cut joke, only

57
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.840
murders in the building is amazing. I think it's so

58
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.000
cool that legends like Steve Martin Martin short and Meryl

59
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:37.680
Streeper all in it. It just goes to show you

60
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.759
you're never too old to still need money. Why are

61
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.639
you working so hard? What's going on? Did you get

62
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.919
caught up in the hawk to a crypto scheme? That's

63
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.759
a good joke. Why don't you cut that one? Glenn

64
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.960
Powell's nominated tonight for hit Man. Who would have thought

65
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.159
you'd only be the second hottest hit man in America?

66
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.639
This one probably a good cut. This is the only

67
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.280
show where you can see the biggest stars in movies

68
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.479
and TV joined together with a common goal getting out

69
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.159
here tonight before Dak Sheppard asked them to do his podcast,

70
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.840
another one good cut. The Wild Robot is nominated tonight,

71
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.199
and by that I mean Nicole Kidman after two white wines.

72
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.479
Glazer interestingly said, I wish we could have done that.

73
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.639
But if she makes a face. Yeah, you don't want

74
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.879
to make a joke about somebody and then they make

75
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.599
a face. It could kill your career? Or did it?

76
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.199
We'll talk about Joe Hooy on the weekend. Michael Keaton

77
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.280
was so great and Beotle Juice and Alec Baldwin sadly

78
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.960
did not come back to play a ghost because he

79
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.879
was too busy making them. Wow, that's a great joke,

80
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.479
Nicky said, Please know that, I know it wasn't nice.

81
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.479
It's such a great joke, but it's just too mean.

82
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.080
Another great joke, here's Ben Affleck. I can't wait to

83
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.879
see which Jennifer you try to ruin next. The Hollywood

84
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.879
Reporter caught up with the Golden Gloves producers. They asked

85
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.360
why they thought Nicky was so successful and said, hard work.

86
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.240
Putting in the work is very important. And we've said

87
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.560
it many many times. It sounds redundant, but she was

88
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.919
doing literally four or five shows a night in la

89
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.159
and other cities for three weeks to get ready for this,

90
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.039
and she tested it out on a lot of the

91
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.879
jokes and knew what worked and what didn't work. And

92
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.319
her team went to her and said, oh, that joke

93
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.680
will work here. Maybe it's too inside only of the

94
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.159
people in the room. I get that the people at

95
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.879
home won't get it. And she honed it down with

96
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.719
the ones that work, and that's why she did a

97
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.599
great job. And then she hit us with a couple

98
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.280
of curveballs along the way, but that was fine too.

99
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.960
They wound up being funny like popular. So let me

100
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.719
remind everybody Joe Cooy only got the job nine days

101
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:14.919
before the Golden Globes. They didn't have a host at all.

102
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.560
So while we're all killing Joe Koy for being the

103
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.759
worst host ever, I mean he told that terrible joke

104
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.000
about you know Who'm not going to go there today, Relax,

105
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.639
Scott Beckett. He only had nine days. Give the guy

106
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.399
four months. You know, maybe somebody smiles at the joke.

107
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.639
Who knows what happens. I still blame her. Bring it swifties.

108
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.920
The Golden Globes ratings were actually down. Initially, CBS reported

109
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.480
that the ratings had jumped seven percent from last year's show,

110
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.720
claiming ten point one million viewers. However, Variety later released

111
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.959
numbers from Nielsen that showed a dip of two percent

112
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.439
in the ratings. With nine point three million viewers. Last

113
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.000
year's show, hosted by Joe Koy, was up fifty one

114
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.160
percent from when the show aired on NBC in twenty

115
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.759
twenty three. That year got six point twenty five million viewers.

116
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.920
Maybe Joe Koy should be the host after all? Catching

117
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.800
up because I was in Antartica. We'll talk about that

118
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.680
after the break. Ali Wong. Single Lady won Best Stand

119
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.079
Up Special of the Year. The other nominees were Jimmie Fox,

120
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.759
Nicky Seth Meyers, Adam Sandler, Rommie Yusef. Out of that group,

121
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.839
I would have picked Adam Sandler, so that lets you

122
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.839
know how bad the picks were. I don't know who

123
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.040
made those nominations, but I would have picked none of

124
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.079
the above. And if I had to pick Adam Sandler.

125
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.000
People are mad a comedian Hannah Brenner for a joke

126
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.839
Hannah made during that Netflix End of the Year special

127
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.439
Thing Torching twenty twenty four. I have not seen it yet.

128
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.120
I was in Antartica. Did I mention that Brenner joked

129
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.439
she likes Luigi MANGIONI saying luigis so hot right now?

130
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.319
Who knew besides Travis Kelcey you could become so popular

131
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.079
with women by shooting loads into a billionaire. That's a

132
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.000
naughty joke there when fan wrote not to be too woke,

133
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.360
but that was wildly inappropriate. Relax everybody, It's a joke.

134
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.800
Kevin Nilan is getting a show on Fox Nation. His

135
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.480
self produced talk show Hiking with Kevin will go to

136
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.319
Fox News streaming thing Hiking with Kevin se'es Kevin Nielan

137
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.800
joined by high profile celebrity guests including Nicky Glazer, Conan O'Brien,

138
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.480
Rob Low, David Spade, Martin Short, and others as they

139
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.639
hike through the canyons of La Malibu, Utah and elsewhere.

140
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.160
I'll let me jump in here. I'm well aware of

141
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.000
the fires. I hope everyone is okay. I don't want

142
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.160
to just flippantly make a reference about hiking through the

143
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.879
canyons of La It is horrific what is happening out there.

144
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.800
I hope everyone is safe. Clearly. Neilan recorded this in

145
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.000
the past. He said, when I hike with these people,

146
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.439
they are really forthcoming. You're outside, you don't have an

147
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.279
audience in front of you, you don't have these bright lights,

148
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.639
and you're hiking. You become more casual and open and

149
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.000
you have your endorphins going. Fox Nation has made ten

150
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.879
episodes of Hiking with Kevin Availabel on a Fox Nation

151
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.600
Hulk Hogan was booed in Los Angeles at WWE on

152
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.319
Monday night they were making their debut on Netflix. Gabriel

153
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.639
Iglesias weighed in, saying it was a painful experience, but

154
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.519
he thinks the WWE should have known better, given that

155
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.879
the show was in LA and Hulk Hogan was a

156
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.879
major Donald Trump presidential campaign supporter. Gabe said that was

157
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.000
painful watching Hulk Hogan get booed. I'm like, yeah, wow,

158
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.920
from great to hate that was ugly. That was ugly.

159
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.360
But I mean, at the same time, they should have

160
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.040
known better. You know that Hulk Hogan's been out there

161
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.480
on this political train, trying to sell his beer and

162
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.160
trying to be on the Trump train. So you take

163
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.519
somebody like that and you put them in a blue

164
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.360
state in LA, what else is going to happen? That

165
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.279
might be the reaction? Hulk Hogan is out hawking a

166
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:18.600
real American beer now an official partner of WWE. I

167
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.160
have not yet seen Gabe's new special. I'm catching up

168
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.279
on life. Did I mention I was in Antarctica? We'll

169
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.000
talk about that after the break. The Hollywood Reporter did

170
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.920
a big profile of Gabe for this special. He said,

171
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.800
I wanted to let everybody know, Hey, I've been around

172
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.399
for a very long time, and I've seen a lot

173
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.560
of things happen, and a lot of entertainers come and go,

174
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.600
and if I'm still here after all these years, I

175
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.240
shouldn't have to deal with any of these issues that

176
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.040
are amongst us right now about what you can and

177
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.240
can't say. I've always felt, like I said, I'm coming

178
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.199
from a good place. It should be okay. I'm trying

179
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.319
to be diplomatic and cool about things, but also be like,

180
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.920
come on, guys, I'm still gonna be here after this,

181
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.199
so let's just stop it already. In the special, he

182
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.959
jokes about things like pronouns and says I'm leaning into it,

183
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.800
but I'm not making an agenda to go out and

184
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.600
just attack. I never attack. I react. So it's me

185
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.839
sharing stories about going through certain experiences and how I

186
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.600
to them, versus, hey, I want to talk about politics.

187
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.680
The Hollood reporter was curious about, what do you mean.

188
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.160
You've seen a lot of comics come and go. Is

189
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.839
there a through line as to why many don't make it?

190
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.800
And Gabe said, I think it's pacing. There are a

191
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.759
lot of entertainers out there that got the one thing

192
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.560
that hits and next thing, you know, Gangham style man,

193
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.199
and then you're gone. I want to comment on that

194
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.360
as somebody who's been a comedy industry adjacent for two

195
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.560
plus decades now. The people who last are what I

196
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.480
call the brick wall comedians, the guys that tell jokes.

197
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.159
The shooting stars are the gimmick comedians. And I can

198
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.039
go all the way back to somebody like Dice, these

199
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.039
stylized comedians, you know, like Jim Gaffigan is standing in

200
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.919
front of a brick wall telling jokes. Jim's going to

201
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.320
be around another thirty years. Then you'll have other comedians.

202
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.080
And I want to be positive today. I'm not going

203
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.600
to pick on anybody, but like Dice had an act,

204
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.919
and the act comedians tend to be shooting stars. So

205
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.720
that's what means by Gangham style. Gabe said, it's like, whoa,

206
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.279
You're on top of the world a minute ago. Where

207
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.360
do you go? Being nice goes a long way. I

208
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.000
think a lot of times people forget that and they

209
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.639
start being a jerk. He faces to people that eliminates

210
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.399
people quickly and then being consistent with me, all the

211
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.000
specials of branded everything is fluffy something you want to

212
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.559
keep reminding people that that's the brand. Sometimes people will say, well,

213
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.799
that's pretty excessive, and I go no, because all it

214
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.320
takes is one or two years for them to start

215
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.399
forgetting you. You have to constantly remind them and continue

216
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.120
to put out what you've been putting out. I can't

217
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.559
just be doing a show that's fun and friendly and

218
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.799
then all of a sudden you go to this political

219
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.679
rant about who you should vote for, because now you're

220
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.399
turning people off. The hollyd reporter was like, you refine

221
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.720
this fluffy person over the years. How's he different from

222
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.639
the real you? Gabe said, the guy on stage is

223
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.360
just louder and talks more. So. Yeah, I went to

224
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.360
Antarctica over the break. My daughter and I went flipping

225
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.240
over all the cards here. The last sixteen episodes of

226
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.679
this podcast were pre taped. Now it was the holidays,

227
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.519
so it's a good time of year to be away.

228
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.360
I can't imagine another scenario where I would hand in

229
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.720
two and a half weeks of pre taped shows because

230
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.720
usually when I travel, I bring the laptop with me

231
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.279
and just do the show from wherever I am. You know,

232
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.240
I'm pretty open with you guys that'll pretape a weekend

233
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.799
or sometimes you know, wrap a weekend with a Monday

234
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.919
pre tape. But for the most part, I do the

235
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.639
show quote unquote live. But yeah, it was a lot

236
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.559
coming up with stuff for sixteen days of pretapes. Thank

237
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.799
you Mike Chisholm for letting me rerun the interview on

238
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.200
New Year's Day, so that saved one. End of the

239
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.039
year countdowns came in pretty handy in terms of the show.

240
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.840
I want to pretape the weekend. I'll give you quote

241
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.759
unquote live shows through this weekend just to catch up.

242
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.600
I'm not gonna go back and do every story then

243
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.360
I missed. You know, it's daily comedy news, not daily

244
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.240
comedy story. John didn't get to two weeks ago, say

245
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.279
John Mullaney on Broadway. We'll just let the past be.

246
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.320
I do need to catch up on my specials. I

247
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.279
didn't see Nates, I haven't seen Gabe, I didn't see

248
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.279
the End of the Year thing. I didn't see Michelle

249
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.679
Buteau and whatever else came out. But we'll catch up

250
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.279
here anyway. It is good to be back in the

251
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.440
basement studio recording the podcast. But Antarctica, man, people are

252
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.159
asking about it. A typical day would be breakfast, You

253
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.480
put on all your cold gear. You get in on

254
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.720
a zodiac boat, which is like a big raft boat

255
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.399
with a motorized engine, head over to the land, walk around,

256
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.080
stare at penguins and seals. Come back, change out of

257
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.440
your wet clothes, go eat lunch, go back to the room,

258
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.559
put your wet clothes back on. Back to land again.

259
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.039
Do that again for another two three hours. Come back

260
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.639
for dinner, pass out because you are exhausted. Repeat. It

261
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.720
was amazing. It does take a minute to get there.

262
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.080
On my way down, from leaving my home to JFKA

263
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.639
Airport to actually checking into the hotel room was a

264
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.279
thirty one hour trip. So if you say to me

265
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.840
right now, hey, you want to fly to Sydney, and

266
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.080
I'm like, all I have to do is get on

267
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.759
a plane in Los Angeles and watch moviees for sixteen hours,

268
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.039
no problem, I'll go. You may have heard of the

269
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.279
Drake passage and the Drake shake. That is no joke.

270
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.600
I was fine. My poor daughter has spent two days

271
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.840
in bed twice. It's two days at sea before you

272
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.720
get to Antarctica. And if you don't like rocking boats,

273
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.279
don't go. But if you're an adventurer, I highly recommend

274
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.879
you go. I did an expedition cruise, so this wasn't

275
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.879
a big Disney cruise. This was one hundred passengers and

276
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:00.399
forty crew on a boat probably maybe small than the

277
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.240
Staten Island Ferry for New Yorkers, but definitely not a

278
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.559
giant cruise ship. And it rocked. But I had an

279
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.080
awesome time. When I get some time, I'm going to

280
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.200
make a podcast out of it, and I will share

281
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.840
that with you when we get a little closer. All right,

282
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.679
back to comedy. SNL is turning fifty. Did you know

283
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.320
that way? You should talk about that at some point.

284
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.320
Will Ferralt, Tina fe and Andy Simberg are in a

285
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.000
promo for Peacocks SNL fifty Beyond Saturday Night, which will

286
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.320
celebrate the show's fiftieth anniversary. Also appearing in the special

287
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.879
Dana Carvey, Tracy Morgan, Amy Poehler, and Jimmy Fallon, and

288
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.960
the trailer mac Packer. Andy Samberg says, my first audition

289
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.519
I threw up. One of the four episodes centers on

290
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.200
the more cow Bell Sketch, one of the Alzheimer's. Another

291
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.480
episode focuses on the problematic Season eleven that came close

292
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.600
to getting the show canceled. Jimmy Fallon says, this is

293
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.080
beyond my wildest dreams that you're making a documentary about

294
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.080
the cow Bell sketch. Some other specials coming out January

295
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.960
twenty seventh, NBC's Ladies and Gentlemen fifty Years of SNL Music,

296
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.399
and a live primetime special will be on NBC in

297
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:01.080
peacock A February sixteenth. Also, we have to monetize everything,

298
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.240
so live from Sacks Fifth Avenue is some limited edition

299
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.039
SNL inspired merchandise. Fans of the show can visit a

300
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.799
dedicated landing page on the Sacks website which features the

301
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.840
items available to shop. Should we do this? We should

302
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.600
do this. I've been away for two and a half weeks.

303
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.679
We can go long today. All right. It took a

304
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.320
couple of clips, but I found it, and I don't

305
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.320
get it. If you really want, you can get a

306
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.679
Favorite Daughter baseball cab that' over a new forty eight dollars.

307
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.039
You can get a Favorite Daughter SNL Sport and Spirit

308
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.320
cotton tote bag that over a new fifty bucks. You

309
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.720
want favorite Daughter SNL Auto five pocket jeans, those are

310
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.639
only two hundred and forty eight dollars, and a tote

311
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.360
bag that says favorite Daughter SNL Live from New York.

312
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.879
That one's fifty dollars if you're looking for a more

313
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.279
Cowbell T shirt that might actually be fun. Nope. The

314
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.519
president and chief commercial Officer of SACKS says, We're excited

315
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.200
to partner with Saturday Night. I'm bringing together two iconic

316
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.679
brands out of shape culture and delighted our respective audiences

317
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.840
for decades. This is being spun as saying SAX and

318
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.399
SNL have a long standing relationship. You see their flagship

319
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.799
store is across from NBC's A thirty Rockefeller Plaza headquarters. Yep, okay,

320
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.360
uh huh. The trailer is out for Amy Schumer's new

321
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.639
Netflix comedy feature Kind of Pregnant. In Kind of Pregnant,

322
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.279
Amy Schumer plays a lady who wears a fake baby

323
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.440
bump while feeling jealous of her best friend's pregnancy and

324
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.320
ends up meeting a perfect guy. In the trailer, Amy asked,

325
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.120
did you ever feel like such a big lie you

326
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.600
don't know how to get out of it? Some of

327
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.679
the comments on YouTube include, this trailer makes me want

328
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.120
to sit on my TV and watch my couch. Is

329
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.679
it too late to replace Amy Schumer with another actress?

330
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.000
And it seems like Netflix took a look at what

331
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.320
Taylor shared in has been doing by appealing to regular

332
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.240
Americans who just want a fun time and said, yeah,

333
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.000
let's do the exact opposite of that. And then is
