00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.679
Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.759
the daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.120
comedy industry. Acent is the Algorithm Loves. Nicki Glazer will
5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.519
not be roasting Kevin Hard. She is sitting out the
6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.719
roast of Kevin Hart part of the Netflix is a
7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.239
Joe Comedy Festival. Niki Glazer said, I do not have
8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.079
the time right now in my schedule to commit to
9
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.399
giving it what I want to give it. I love it,
10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:32.920
and when I work hard at it, I kill it.
11
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.399
But I just don't have the time to work hard
12
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.320
at it. And I just recently roasted Kevin Hard at
13
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.399
the Golden Globes. I roasted him at the Tom Brady Roast.
14
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.759
I'm coming up short with short chokes, if you know
15
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.799
what I'm saying. Nicki has a special coming out on
16
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.000
April twenty fourth. It's called Good Girl. It'll be on Hulu.
17
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.439
And you know my opinion on Hulu, that's where you
18
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.799
go when you're slightly past peak, watch out for the
19
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.960
Curse of Hulu. There, Nicki Glazer and everyone's welcome to
20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.159
go through the list of Hulu comedy specials and point
21
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.880
out where I'm wrong, but I'm not sure I am,
22
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.560
Nicki said. I'm terrified for it to come out because
23
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.880
it has a lot of jokes I've told on the
24
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.120
road for years. It's always fun to do these jokes
25
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.959
in front of a crowd that's not recording, and you
26
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.040
feel free to just say crazy stuff. But then they go,
27
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.799
we're gonna put it on tape, and you go, that's great.
28
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.120
Then you watch it in the edit and you're like, wait,
29
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.480
everyone's gonna see this and there's gonna be comments on this.
30
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.159
I love doing it and I'm crazy and while in
31
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.719
the moment and uninhibited, but then afterwards, I don't want
32
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:22.879
to talk about it. I want to hear what it
33
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.280
sounded like. I don't want to hear what I said
34
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.439
or what I did. This is reminding me. I'm going
35
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.079
to right now leave myself a note for Friday. For
36
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.000
Comedy stock Market, we are going to sell I'll tell
37
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.079
you right now, we are gonna sell Nicki Glazer. Not
38
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560
that we don't love Nicki Glazer, but we don't trust
39
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.599
that Hulu comedy brand. So the comedy stock Market, as
40
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.480
you know, is where we try and find value, and
41
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.879
we might want to sell high on NICKI. You know
42
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.719
what I'm saying. I might have to head up to Jamestown,
43
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.760
New York in August. That's where you will find the
44
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.760
National Comedy Center and the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. This
45
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.959
year's headliners Jerry Seinfeld, Bert Krascher, and Seth Myers. Jerry
46
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.920
the headliner Thursday, August sixth, Bert on Saturday eighth, Seth
47
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.719
Myers on the ninth. So what's happening on Friday the seventh, John,
48
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.560
It's the stand Up Showcase, featuring a lineup of talent
49
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.840
from across the country. Former guest on this program Jerrenny Gunderson.
50
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.919
She's the executive director of the Center and said the
51
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.080
National Comedy Center's museum and archive were established to celebrate
52
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.319
the art forms, distinct voices and contributions throughout time, and
53
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.319
this year's festival brings together the artists who represent distinct
54
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.520
approaches to the craft. Let's see Jerry Seinfeld, Bert Krascher,
55
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.840
They're doing two very different things. Seth Myers, you know,
56
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.560
it is not like Burt at all. Is more like
57
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.000
Jerry than Burt. But yeah, okay. Additional artists Scheduled to
58
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.599
appear include Carol Leefer, whose writing credits include Seinfeld and Kerb,
59
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.919
Gina Brillan, Jenny Zigrino, and Drew Dunn. The festival will
60
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.520
feature more than fifty live events over four days, including
61
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.080
late night comedy, block parties, live music, and more. Now
62
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.120
I thought it was interesting they shared the bios for
63
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.479
the headliners. Not that you don't know who Jerry Seinfeld
64
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.599
is if you're listening to me, but let's just see
65
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.520
what Jerry Seinfeld's bio is here in twenty twenty six.
66
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.080
Seinfeld saw his comedy career take off after his first
67
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.840
appearance on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson in nineteen
68
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.879
eighty one. Eight years later, he teamed up with Larry
69
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.439
David to create Seinfeld, Widely regarded as one of the
70
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.039
most successful and influential comedy series in television history. The
71
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.439
show ran for nine seasons, earning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe,
72
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.240
and People's Choice awards, and was later named the greatest
73
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
television show of all time by TV Guide and the
74
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.360
best sitcom ever in a sixty minutes Vanity Fair poll.
75
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.840
We'll have to debate that sometime. It's in the conversation
76
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.280
about best sitcom ever. Is Seinfeld the greatest television show
77
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.520
of all time all genres? I don't know about that,
78
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.360
But if it's not that, then what I'll just make
79
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.479
a quick case for the tonight show. Bert krisis bio
80
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.120
tells us Bert has evolved from Rolling Stones number one
81
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.840
party here in the nation to one of the top
82
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.639
grossing stand up comedians the world and a powerhouse entrepreneur, actor, producer,
83
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.599
content creator, and entertainment brand. Hey Bert Preischer, people, you
84
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.000
don't want to describe anyone as an entertainment brand like that.
85
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.319
That just makes you uncool, like I know Kevin Hart
86
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.519
does that. You're not an entertainment brand. You don't want
87
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:17.399
to be that. You want to be a man of
88
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:18.959
the people who doesn't wear a shirt. You don't want
89
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.079
to be an entertainment brand. Let your agent say that
90
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.639
on the side when they're doing deals, but don't publicly
91
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.639
describe yourself as an entertainment brands. It's a It's not
92
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.399
that it's not cool, but it's uncool. No, uncool means
93
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.600
like you're being jerky. It's the opposite of cool. Put
94
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.759
it that way. Kreischer has parlayed his signature comedy and
95
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.959
authenticity into a dynamic media empire. You're trying too hard
96
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.240
with this bio. Back this down, the Seth Meyers bio
97
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.759
tells us. Seth Myers is an Emmy Award winning writer,
98
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.000
New York Times best selling author and host of Late
99
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:56.079
Night with Seth Myers since twenty fourteen, watched by hundreds
100
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.680
and hundreds of people. Seth Meyers began his career on
101
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.360
Setriday Night Live, where he spent thirteen seasons as a
102
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.040
cast member, including nine seasons as head writer, in eight
103
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.199
seasons as anchor of Weekend Update. He has earned thirty
104
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.879
three nominations for his work in television. He has released
105
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.000
two acclaimed stand up specials, Lobby Baby and Seth Meyers
106
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.360
Dad Man Walking, and continues to perform stand up nationwide.
107
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.560
Myers also co edlines a residency with John Oliver in
108
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.439
New York and collaborates on multiple podcasts with The Lonely
109
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.480
Island Guys. Now here's some fun behind the scenes. I
110
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.240
don't know what happened here in my script that I'm
111
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.040
working off. I've got the information from the National Comedy Center.
112
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:35.720
We just did.
113
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.800
I also have an interview David crossed with the La Times. Now,
114
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.879
what I can't explain is whatever my document did, it
115
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.279
mixed the two. So as I've been scrolling down here
116
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.959
telling you about the festival, every other paragraph has been
117
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.120
from the David Cross thing. It is the weirdest thing
118
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.040
like here. So if you were reading my script, it
119
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.240
says David Cross, Jamestown, then the Jerry stuff, and then
120
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.759
after mentioning Bert Kraser, it goes into David Cross saying,
121
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.920
my thing's never been about crowd work. This is the
122
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.879
most confusing thing, but I'll deal with it. Could I
123
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.240
edit this? I could, but that's not fun. I like
124
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.199
to share with you guys what's going on. David Cross
125
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.240
until the La Times. My thing has never been about
126
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.240
crowd work. I like engaging with it. It's kind of a
127
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.160
nice distraction from the set that you've been doing one
128
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.240
hundred times, one hundred and fifty times at that point.
129
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.920
So it's always fun to have the thing happened and
130
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.800
that feeling of spontaneity. If it were scripted, it wouldn't
131
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.000
have been as good. The guy had talked to you
132
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.560
during his new special about hiking Machu Pichu with Bob
133
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.600
Odenkirk that's Chef's kiss. And then the next paragraph is
134
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.160
back to the National Comedy Center, so I don't know
135
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.959
what happened here, And then the paragraph after that is
136
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.920
speaking of Bob Odenkirk. You guys have this long relationship.
137
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.800
I don't know what happened to this document. This has
138
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.399
never happened before, so I got to scrawl to audio.
139
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.879
So the question is about working with Bob Odenkirk. David
140
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.720
Cross tells the La Times before there was even Mister
141
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.120
Show what would ultimately become Mister Show, when we got
142
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.319
together to write sketches for this bigg kount of Comedy
143
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.600
collective thing, and the shows would do with each other
144
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.439
for each other, and the stuff would write together was
145
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.040
like real good, easy writing, one person adding this thing,
146
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.560
one person saying here's a switch, yeah, and another person
147
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.800
adding this thing in. It was fun. It's cool. Still
148
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.439
is one thing Bob doesn't get enough credit for is
149
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.319
he's a really decent human being. And with all the
150
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.279
awfulness in the world that's magnified, every sense is bombarded
151
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.360
with it, just good to be hanging with somebody whose
152
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.800
energy is a good person, a decent person, and an
153
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.680
equitable nice guy. So that's good as well. The Only
154
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.680
Times asked David Cross, what are your thoughts on what
155
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.240
a comedy special is nowadays or what it should be?
156
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.759
Great question. David Cross agrees because he said, I mean
157
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.399
that's a great question. He says, I think anybody who
158
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.399
plays with the form, whether I think it's funny or not,
159
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.959
is different. But I'm happy when anybody kind of tries
160
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.519
to at least play with a form. I just went
161
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.040
to Rory Skoles taping last week of his latest special.
162
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.079
I don't know when that will air, but if you've
163
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.199
seen the beginning to his first special, stuff like that
164
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.519
where you're like, wait, what's happening, what's going on? I
165
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.399
love stuff like that. It's giving ahead. Cross said, I
166
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.480
don't know, O, can eighteen thousand people in arena really
167
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.920
relate to a billionaire talking about how they're gonna get canceled?
168
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.079
I mean that's the thing. I guess. Well, we're gonna
169
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.600
find out if the Netflix is a Joe comedy all.
170
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.519
If nothing else, go see. Luisi ke Grass said, these
171
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.360
other big, slick specials that are shot in like a
172
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.560
thirty two hundred seat, thirty five hundred seed theater just
173
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.399
feels like Oh, this person's up there and I'm listening
174
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.439
to their jokes. There's nothing wrong with that. They're often
175
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.399
very funny jokes, but it doesn't go beyond that. It's
176
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.240
just like, all right, tell me your joke. It might
177
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.040
as well just be an audio thing, you know. Let's
178
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.800
check in at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I've pulled
179
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.279
four clips for you today. On a Monday, I thought
180
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.720
we could play a bunch of a stand up comedy.
181
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.160
Now I think what this illustrates is the different things
182
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.759
you can see at a comedy festival. These four people
183
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.399
I'm going to play for you are not household names,
184
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.639
are not famous here in the States. Perhaps the mileage
185
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.960
will vary if you are from down Under, and as
186
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:48.360
we're about to hear, varying degrees of subjective opinion quality.
187
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.120
And for me, when you go to a comedy festival,
188
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.679
always go see smaller shows. Not everything's gonna be awesome,
189
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.480
but sometimes someone is, and those are the moments that
190
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.679
you will treasure. All Right, I've got four clips. My
191
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.879
favorite one is the fourth one. My second favorite is
192
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.799
the first one. So that is the sequencing here for
193
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.559
the roller coaster ride. We're about to go on First Up,
194
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.759
here's Rachel Hornbuckle. Her show is called Skin Deep and Meaningful.
195
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.240
And it's Rachel. I'm from Queensland, so if I say
196
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.720
anything you don't like, fair enough. I'm from a small
197
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.519
country town in Queensland called Brisbane. And while we're on
198
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.159
bad things about me, I'm a real bad driver. I
199
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.320
recently got into a very bad car accident, completely right
200
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.919
off the other car. Mine's fine, No, I did write
201
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.840
off both cars. But I was into womber at the time,
202
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.960
and I took it to a mechanic and he told
203
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.399
me he could fix it, and he kept calling me love,
204
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.120
so I was like, yeah, I trust him. But now
205
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.399
this car breaks down all the time. All the time.
206
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.039
This car's breaking down. Most recent things started leaking oil,
207
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.399
so to take it to a new mechanic and I
208
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.879
couldn't unders dan what he was saying to me. And
209
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.279
I really wanted him to man explain to me. And
210
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.720
I could tell he wanted to as well, but like
211
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:13.399
you can't, and he was like, that's your transmission oil.
212
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:19.320
I was like, oh, that sounds like an essential oil, right.
213
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.639
I would have to be run off the next to
214
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.399
lavender or seedar wood or something and he was like, sorry,
215
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.399
do you not know what transmission means? I was like, yeah,
216
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.960
of course I do. I'm an ally.
217
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.200
Next up we have Jordan Barr. Jordan's show is called
218
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:39.200
Choir Girl.
219
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:44.799
I went to drama school. Just pretty cool. That's a yeah,
220
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.000
great place to go if you want dirty feet in
221
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:47.879
an eating disorder.
222
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:51.600
Better, No, I do.
223
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:57.639
I love cacao nibs so good. But I did enjoy
224
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.200
being immersed in like drama. There was such I was
225
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.120
a little wanka.
226
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.799
I loved it.
227
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:07.440
I kept calling myself a thespian. I was like, I'm
228
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.559
a thespian now I drink soy lattees. And then I
229
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.639
left drama school and realized that I was actually a lesbian.
230
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.039
Difference.
231
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.320
Uh there. Then my partners, my partner has recently come
232
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.320
out as non binary, so they then pronounce it's full circle, baby,
233
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:29.759
I'm a thespian again.
234
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.440
Now I thought that was kind of a hack joke.
235
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.399
But back to how I set up this segment. You
236
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.679
go to a comedy festival, you never know what you're
237
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.000
going to get. That wasn't the most amazing thing I've
238
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.879
ever heard. Next up, Abby Howell's show is called The
239
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.039
cave and I'm gonna warn you we're gonna go a
