Nikki Glaser will sit out the Kevin Hart roast during Netflix Is a Joke because she can’t commit the time, after recently roasting Hart at the Golden Globes and Tom Brady roast; her Hulu special Good Girl premieres April 24, and she’s nervous about longtime road jokes being recorded and judged. He also previews the National Comedy Center’s Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in Jamestown, New York, headlined by Jerry Seinfeld (Aug 6), Bert Kreischer (Aug 8), and Seth Meyers (Aug 9), with additional acts and 50+ events. The script mixes in LA Times quotes from David Cross on crowd work, collaborating with Bob Odenkirk, and the modern comedy-special form. Clips from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival feature Rachel Hornbuckle, Jordan Barr, Abby Howells, and Lloyd Langford. Rami Youssef announces HBO special Rami Youssef in Love (April 17), and the episode teases upcoming Comedy Survivor results.

Caaloroga Shark Media.

2
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

240
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.679
long way for a joke. Here. As I was pulling

241
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.440
this audio, I was like, is this going anywhere? And

242
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.639
just being a comedy snob, I'm like, this has to

243
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.879
go somewhere unexpected, because otherwise this is just an awful story.

244
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.639
So maybe I've spoiled it, maybe not, but we're breaking

245
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.960
down comedy. I'm telling you how all this works. So

246
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.919
here's Abby Howel's from the Kiev, And like I said,

247
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.240
we're gonna go a long way for a punchline. And

248
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.279
then you could tell me if this pays off.

249
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.480
I thought I would spend my set listing some interesting

250
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.759
things about myself so you get to know me a

251
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.879
little bit of Okay, Fact number one may not come

252
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.519
as a huge surprise, but two years ago I was

253
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:32.559
diagnosed with autism and my first thought was, dang, shouldn't

254
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:40.080
have got that vaccine. Like number two, I would be

255
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.159
humiliated if anyone saw my social media presence, not because

256
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.879
it's like freaky or anything like that, but because it

257
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.240
is the opposite. You would see that all that I

258
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.399
do is comment on this one woman's tiktoks, and this

259
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.600
woman she lives in the north of England and she

260
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:03.200
makes milkshakes and she's like, it's milkshake Monday. And then

261
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.440
she makes the milkshake and she's like, calm back for

262
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.720
part two for the taste test, and then part.

263
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.559
Two is like it's quite nice. Actually it's always.

264
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:13.960
Just quite nice.

265
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.080
And I don't know what it is about this woman,

266
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.919
but she has bewitched me body and soul, and I

267
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.080
just do the lamest comments like yum, and like looks

268
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.840
good girls save some for me, and liked kindo surprise

269
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.600
next humiliating. So I think I need to mix it up.

270
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.039
And how I'm gonna do that is interact more with

271
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.360
porn online. But I'm just gonna do the same comments,

272
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:47.039
just be like Yum, looks good girls save some for me,

273
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.360
like do kindo surprise next, and the CIA agent who's

274
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.559
like moditoring me will be like kinder supers. I've never

275
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.639
even heard.

276
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.080
Of that six position before.

277
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.039
Abby is a freak.

278
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.240
In next up. My favorite of the four clips today,

279
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.840
Lloyd Langford's show is Okay, I believe you.

280
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.120
I saw a poster in Melbourne the other day and

281
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:17.240
it said are you aware that a tram weighs the

282
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:26.320
same as thirty rhinos, and I was like, no, I'll

283
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.080
be honest, I've never once contemplated the weight of the tram,

284
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.559
pullly in terms of the rhino, but I am aware

285
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:40.720
that a tram is heavy. If I'm crossing the street

286
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.600
right and there's like a tram coming towards me, I'm

287
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.960
not thinking I reconologist, dip the shoulder and then just

288
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:55.000
carry on my merry week. I'll be honest with you. Right,

289
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:02.519
if there's one rhino a sol right, you know, a

290
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.200
Lorne wolf, right, you know, heading for me, I'm moving

291
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.519
out the way. I'm like, on your gold mane, I

292
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:18.000
think you have right your pottage here. However, thirty rye, Nos,

293
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.159
I'll tell you what. Right I'm stopping. I'm getting my

294
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.919
phone out of my pocket and I'm taking some photographs.

295
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:29.759
Now.

296
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:31.679
As I listen to that, I hear a lot of

297
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.679
Craig Ferguson, and I was curious because it's the Melbourne

298
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:39.000
Australia International Comedy Festival, but note the word international in there.

299
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.360
So I looked up Lloyd Langford, who I was unfamiliar with,

300
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.480
and I learned that Lloyd at Langford as a Welsh

301
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.080
comedian not that Craig Ferguson is Welsh, but okay, you

302
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.639
know it's not like Lloyd Langford is from New Jersey

303
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.960
for example. Anyway, I'm hearing a little similarity there, but

304
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.080
I like Lloyd a lot. One more before we go,

305
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.519
romy Yusef has announced a special. It is called Ramy

306
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.600
Yusef in Love, his third hour long HBO original comedy special.

307
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.120
It to be out April seventeenth. That's a Friday night

308
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.440
at nine o'clock. So HBO, I thought we were building

309
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.240
a brand where like the weird stuff appears on Friday. Oh,

310
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.399
did we ever talk about what is his name? Julio Turis?

311
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.440
Did I ever talk about that? I don't think I did.

312
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.080
That was the special where I thought they had added

313
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.960
a lot of laugh track to the trailer. I think

314
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.360
they added a lot of laugh track to the actual special.

315
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.399
I couldn't even make it like, I don't know. I

316
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.440
was out on that really early. I was like I

317
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.039
wanted to like this. My brain was lit up for like, okay,

318
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.600
I'm in the mood for weird and just no hard

319
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.159
pass on that one. That was rough. So I thought

320
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.440
HBO was making Friday Night quirky night. Because we had

321
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.919
Sarah Sherman and Chris Fleming and Julio Tauris. But now

322
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.679
Rommy Yusef doesn't fit into that box. So I don't know.

323
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:50.639
Friday Nights on HBO is Random Comedy Night. I guess

324
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.759
I digress Rommy Usef in Love, filmed at the Hideout

325
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.759
in Chicago. Rammy Useff playfully engages with the audiences. He

326
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.720
approaches a vast spectrum of personal topics, ranging from marriage

327
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.119
to AI, religion, and being a dog parent. Now, the

328
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:05.480
first time I did that, I took it out. I

329
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.839
made an edit for once, so they didn't put in

330
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.759
an extra comment there. So I read it as ranging

331
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.720
from his marriage to AI, religion, and being a dog parent.

332
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.960
Maybe it is about his marriage to AI. I don't

333
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.720
know who he's married to. I didn't do the homework anyway.

334
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.920
The premise is you can find light and hope in

335
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.799
all things if you just try to see them through

336
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.880
a lens of love. Coming up at noon Eastern the

337
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:29.160
Results of a Comedy Survivor. We'll see if Sebastian Manascalpo

338
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.680
made it out alive or not, and then we'll be

339
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:33.920
down to the final three. So come back at noon

340
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.279
Eastern for comedy Survivor and I'll meet you back here

341
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:36.440
then
