00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
Callaroga shark media man. I went to LA for the weekend,

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.160
and so much happened while I was away. I have

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.920
so much today that I'm bouncing major stuff tomorrow. The

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.920
Sebastian maniscatcoal trailer has me out of my mind. But

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.879
that's gonna be tomorrow's leadoff story. I'll probably tape Tuesday

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.039
and Wednesday back to back because I'm so fired up. Hello,

7
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.039
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. But we

8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.760
got to talk about Nicki Glazer on Saturday Night Live.

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.039
I don't want to lead you with my opinion, so

10
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.520
I'll do a story or two and then i'll tell

11
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.240
you what I thought. But I headlined from USA today.

12
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.280
I believe this was comedian Nicki Glazer calls SNL debut

13
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.880
a dream a mid monologue backlash. That's right, there is

14
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.280
monologue backlash. Nicki posted on social media posts to come

15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.119
when I fully wake up. But oh my god, I

16
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.240
can't believe how amazing this cast and crew was. As

17
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.600
a fan of the show, I just have to tell

18
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.719
all the other fans that everyone at SNL is just

19
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.000
as talented, elite, cool and kind as you'd hope it'd

20
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.119
be literally everyone. It was a dream, all caps. I'll

21
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.640
never get over it. Now I'll start to play my cards.

22
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.920
I'll flip one card. So I watched the monologue. I

23
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.040
didn't have a problem with the monologue's content. I had

24
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.280
the problem with the monologue being by wrote. I was

25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.159
texting on the side with the host of the Letterman podcast,

26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.319
Mike Chisholm, and I said, it just felt like she

27
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.920
was doing jokes like, for example, Mike, who you may remain?

28
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.200
And I was Canadian. Mike went to the store. He

29
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.000
was so polite, take a beat because he's Canadian, and

30
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.319
it just felt like that type of joke where you

31
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.359
tell a story and then you do the beat and

32
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.359
then you do the headfake, and I felt like she

33
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.040
was just doing that. Her sketches, I thought were fantastic.

34
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.400
I'll come back to that. But as part of this

35
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.840
monologue controversy, as I started to read this USA Today article,

36
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.319
they were saying the things the monologue was about, and

37
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.959
I was like, oh, I don't think I want to

38
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.640
say that, because they're the type of things that get

39
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.480
flagged by content services. So maybe some do have a

40
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.239
point here. Nicki opened up and of course told much

41
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.000
better by Nicki. She opened up by saying, here I

42
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.200
am in New York City, Epstein's original island. And I

43
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:02.920
may have actually told that better, because when I watched

44
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.359
it on the DVR after the four PM games on Sunday,

45
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.360
I think she kind of swallowed the word Epstein, and

46
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.159
I missed the joke. I had to go back. So

47
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.680
later in the monologue she started talking about people being

48
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.120
trafficked and the signs, quoting Nicki Glazer. Here, they're in

49
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.680
every stall, They're in every language. I mean, English is

50
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.319
really tiny. It's like you wish men's restrooms don't have

51
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.800
these signs. I don't know what signs you have. Do

52
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.840
you have signs that are like want to sleeve? She

53
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.400
then did make a joke about violent assault on women

54
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.599
that I don't want to repeat, so you can factor

55
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.479
that into your evaluation if you didn't see it, that

56
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.319
it's a joke John's not comfortable repeating. She then went

57
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.479
on to joke about how she's certain her boyfriend will

58
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.240
murder me someday, and then did some material that was

59
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.599
about showering with a younger person, which I probably shouldn't

60
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.120
get into here either. So again, there may be some

61
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.639
validity to the controversy. But when I watched the show,

62
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.280
I wasn't like, oh, outratous. So my take, you know,

63
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.360
whether or not there's a controversy about the content. I

64
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.159
just didn't think it was a monologue. I just didn't

65
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.840
find it funny. But she was great at the sketches.

66
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.759
Yahoo recapped the entire episode for me, Thank you. The

67
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.039
opener with President Trump in the Oval office as somebody

68
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:16.599
passes out James Louston Johnson boy, I loved him when

69
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.000
he first started doing Trump on SNL. I'm now all

70
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.000
the way to the point maybe Lorne Michaels needs to

71
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.400
consider someone else doing Trump. I know what a major

72
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.280
move that would be. But James's Trump is just he

73
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.120
didn't have it this week. It's it's off Mark and

74
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.759
I don't know if they had a bad crowd or what,

75
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.840
but the crowd seemed to be with me that that

76
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.439
opening segment didn't fly all right. Then the monologue already

77
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.639
discussed a pre record with NICKI doing a commercial for

78
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.080
a medication that makes you sick enough to credibly cancel

79
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.520
your appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show. NICKI was very

80
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.039
good in that. Then a sketch about family karaoke, Sarah

81
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.719
Sherman crushing as always, NICKI showing she's got some acting

82
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.560
chops in that one. Beauty and Mister Beast. I thought

83
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.120
that was pretty funny. American Girl Doll XL was solid.

84
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.879
I'll circle back to the News for reasons which will

85
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.400
become clear in a minute. And then on the News,

86
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.960
Pete Davidson showed up. Pete Davidson said, in case you're

87
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.159
wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia,

88
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.399
we're losing millions on this ferry. I assume that's what

89
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.240
the article says. I can't spend five dollars on a

90
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.399
pay wall when I got a kid on the way.

91
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.160
I'm just excited to be a dad and to give

92
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.480
it all the energy enthusiasm I never had for this show.

93
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.720
Pete also got off a good line about Lorne Michaels, saying,

94
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.600
if Louren Michaels has taught us anything, it's that you

95
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.480
never ever give up, even if everyone says the time

96
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.439
has come and Tina Fey is ready to take over.

97
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.839
Pete talked about the new mayor of New York City.

98
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.079
If you're not from the New York City area. You

99
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.759
might want to get yourself familiar with this. Mom, Donnie Fellow,

100
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.639
I think he's going to be a national figure for

101
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.959
a few months here. Pete said, I have a message

102
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.720
for everyone who did not vote for our new mayor,

103
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.839
Hey statn Islanders, which is an on point joke. If

104
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.839
you look at the mayoral electoral if you look at

105
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.680
the voting results, let me pull it up for you.

106
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.600
As you may know, New York City has five boroughs.

107
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.639
Manhattan is what most to outsiders would think New York

108
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.480
City is in Manhattan zoorun Mum. Donnie got fifty two

109
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.480
point seven percent of the vote. Queen's where I'm from,

110
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.040
but I did not vote because I'm now a New

111
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.399
Jersey resident. He got forty seven point three, the Bronx

112
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.680
fifty one and a half, Brooklyn fifty six point eight,

113
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.319
Staten Island twenty two point seven, losing to Andrew Combo,

114
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.720
who ran as an independent and got fifty five point four.

115
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.759
So hence Pete Davison's joke. Pete said, did you promise

116
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.360
to move out of New York if Ma'm Donnie one?

117
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.000
But if too many warrants in New Jersey and not

118
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.360
enough guns for Florida, Welcome to New Staten Island, and

119
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.480
showed a picture of the ferry. We can't call it

120
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.720
the Titanic anymore since the people on this ship will

121
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.439
actually love running into ice. Good material there, I don't

122
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.160
think he delivered it that well. I think the writing

123
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.240
was better than Pete's performance. Pete told people I had

124
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.439
a great time hosting last time, and anytime you get

125
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.199
that call, it's an honor and a privilege to return

126
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.519
to SNL. It's always relevant, it's a hot show. People

127
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.759
look forward to it, and the cast is great. He

128
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.720
said of Lorne Michaels. I owe that guy in my life.

129
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.839
He jump started everything. So I do anything for Lorn

130
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.360
and he knows that. So I went to Los Angeles

131
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.600
for five minutes. They decided to announce the Grammy nominees

132
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.000
Best Comedy Album Quick Time out Here. If you are

133
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.680
a longtime listener, you've heard this before. If you are

134
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.480
relatively new, you may not have. Johnny Mack gets annoyed

135
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.240
that things that Johnny Mack considers to be quote unquote

136
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.160
Netflix specials get nominated for Grammys. I personally feel that

137
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.360
a comedy album should be, you know, an album, Bruce

138
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.120
Springsteen Born in the USA. That's an album, It's not

139
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.759
a Netflix special. Some of these things, I'm not sure

140
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.360
they're albums, But the Academy clearly disagrees with me. These

141
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.079
nominations are horrible. This is just really bad. Okay. The

142
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.920
nominees for Best Comedy Album, Bill Burr for his worst

143
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.399
special drop Dead Years, and you could see that going

144
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.279
to re odd really affected Bill Burr's career. Ali Wong's

145
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.319
single Lady not her best special. Nate Bergetzi's Your Friend,

146
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.199
Nate Berghetzi not his best special. But okay, my former

147
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.240
coworker Jamie Fox, what had happened was I felt like

148
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.639
Jamie just doing a performance. And I understand that all

149
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.439
of these are a performance, but I really felt like

150
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.519
Jamie was pulling out his Academy Award winning chops to

151
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.360
pull your emotional strings. It just didn't feel like a

152
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.920
genuine performance to me. I felt like he was acting

153
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.920
it out to get the crowd going. So no doubt

154
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.399
out of these five to me, Sarah Silverman's post Mortem,

155
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.959
which I think i've pretty high up on my list. Yeah,

156
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:29.000
I right now have Sarah at seven my list. Really quickly,

157
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.759
if you want to count it a stand up or not.

158
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.720
The Conan O'Brien, Mark Twain ward. It is far and

159
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.480
away the best thing of the year, if you want

160
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.800
to throw that out. Mark Marin's special now that should

161
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.959
have been nominated for a Grammy. It's Mark's best special.

162
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.319
He's at peak Marin. I don't know how that's not nominated.

163
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.439
Going down my list from there, Jim Jeffrey's, Justin Willman,

164
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.600
Dusty Slay Krasier, Brett Goldstein's HBO special from April is

165
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.560
really underrated, Michelle Wolf, Sarah Silverman, matte Ola, and Tim Dillon.

166
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.000
I don't get a vote, but I would vote for

167
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.399
Sarah Silverman over It's a no brainer. While I left

168
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.959
down for five minutes, Variety and the New York Comedy

169
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.480
Festival announced that Jim Gaffigan will receive Variety's inaugural Comedy

170
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.680
Vanguard Award that was going to be presented on Sunday night.

171
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.040
I've not seen any post mortem on Jim winning the award.

172
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.639
There is leading into that, a big shiny fluff piece

173
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.360
wax job in Variety, but too busy today to get

174
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.079
to that. Maybe tomorrow. The inaugural Vanguard Award recognizes Jim

175
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.399
Gaffigan's trailblazing contributions to comedy and his remarkable career milestones.

176
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:36.039
Time out, trailblazing? Is Jim Gaffigan one of the top comedians? Absolutely?

177
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.600
Is he funny more often than not? Trailblazing? Why? Based

178
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.799
on what what has Jim done that nobody has done before? Anyway,

179
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.799
The award recognizes Jim Gaffigan's trailblazing contributions to comedy and

180
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.240
his remarkable career milestones. Caroline Hirsch said, Jim Gaffigan has

181
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.480
been making us laugh since the very beginning of his career,

182
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.320
and I've had the pleasure of watching him grow into

183
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.080
one of the most expected and beloved voices and comedy today.

184
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.039
His originality, consistency, and sheer brilliance on stage make him

185
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.919
the perfect recipient of this inaugural Comedy Vanguard Award. You

186
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.480
know that John Stewart is at your event, Caroline right,

187
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.600
No one is more deserving, and Jim truly represents the

188
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.279
spirit of innovation and excellence that this honor celebrates. There

189
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.960
was a mystery with Jimmy Kimmel's show. Jimmy Kimmel's Show

190
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.200
did not air Thursday. Well, a rerun air, but there

191
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.480
was supposed to be a new episode. It was unexpectedly

192
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.919
pulled just hours before airing, reportedly over quotes a personal matter,

193
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.120
So I don't want to make light of it. I

194
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.919
don't know what the personal matter is. I hope everything's

195
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.279
okay in the Kimmel household and friends and family and

196
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.240
all that's good, But of course a Jimmy Kimmel episode

197
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.080
not airing is going to be major news. These scheduled

198
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.399
guests included David Ducovney, Joe Keery from Stranger Things, and

199
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.960
singer Madison Beer. It was Madison Beer who broke the

200
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.039
news on social media at six thirty three pm Eastern

201
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.840
Time on Thursday, as Johnny Mack was on a plane.

202
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.759
Madison Beer tweeted, due to unforeseen circumstances, Jimmy Kimmel Alive

203
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.600
needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to

204
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.879
air tonight to a later date. There's also a story

205
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:11.200
going around that Jimmy Kimmel's wife, Molly, admitted she fired

206
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.559
off many emails to Trump supporting family members begging them

207
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.919
not to vote for Trump in last year's election, and

208
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.840
has since cut ties with her right wing relatives. This

209
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.639
is not hearsay. She said this on the We Can

210
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.039
Do Hard Things podcast. Molly said, I've spent many emails

211
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.000
to my family, like right before the election, saying I'm

212
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.240
begging you, here's the ten reasons not to vote for

213
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.320
this guy, Please don't and either got ignored by ninety

214
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.080
percent of them or got truly insane responses from a few.

215
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.919
It hurts me so much because of the personal relationships

216
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.879
I now have where my husband is out there fighting

217
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.399
this man and me. Them voting for Trump is them

218
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.360
not voting for my husband and me and our family,

219
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.039
and I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people

220
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.519
and my family because of it. Molly said she was

221
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.440
angry all the time at certain aunt's, uncles and cousins

222
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.679
for helpings to elect Trump, yet says she feels sympathy

223
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:02.080
for them, calling them deliberately misinformed. On a related note,

224
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.039
Oscar Isaac, you may know him from Star Wars movies.

225
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.039
He did an interview with g Q. Would he return

226
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.000
to Star Wars because you know, Star Wars is owned

227
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.480
by ABC and Disney and the you know, the support

228
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.399
is a fascism. You know those guys well, Oscar Isaac said,

229
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.399
I mean, I'd be open to it, although right now

230
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.480
I'm not open to working with Disney, but if they

231
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.840
can kind of figure it out, you know, not to

232
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.279
succumb to fascism, that would be great. If that happens,

233
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.200
then yeah, I'd be open having a conversation about a

234
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.440
galaxy far away or any number of other things. You see.

235
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.200
Oscar Isaac is not one of those guys who'd be like,

236
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.559
you know, this chair is really comfortable. I've got a

237
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.200
Roku in my hand. All I have to do is

238
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.399
push the Hulu button and I can watch Scrubs. No,

239
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.279
Oscar Isaac is not one of those people. He goes

240
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.679
upstairs to the main level and then one more level

241
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.840
to the DVD closet, and he pulls out the Scrubs DVDs,

242
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.360
walks all the way back downstairs, fires up the PlayStation five,

243
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.519
puts in a disc, and then hits play. He doesn't

244
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.039
just watch Hulu. No, he's not one of those people. Now,

245
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.399
Johnny Mack, I have YouTube TV right now. Now we

246
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.840
don't even get Disney channels. So even if I wanted

247
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.919
to support fascism, I can't watch you their products, nor

248
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.919
can I support you my camble By watching, and that's

249
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.960
a whole other thing. We don't get ESPN, we don't

250
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.519
get ABC. But I'll tell you one thing, and listener

251
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.080
Scott Beckett knows this. I don't need to watch Monday

252
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.240
Night football. You know why my picks were so good

253
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.639
this week. I wrapped up the whole week before Monday

254
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:26.919
night football. Oh. Speaking of football, the Carolina Panthers they

255
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.799
still are not sure about a penalty called on running

256
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.440
back Ricodeel last weekend, so they asked Mac packer Keegan

257
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.919
Michael Key. Yeah, Keag and Michael Key was at a

258
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.440
Panthers team meeting on Saturday to give the final determination

259
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.080
on whether or not the questionable touchdown celebration should have

260
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.240
resulted in a penalty. The Panthers head coach said, let's

261
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.240
get an expert. Can we get Keag and Michael Key

262
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.200
to explain this to us? Via video? Keegan Michael Key appeared.

263
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.639
He said, I just want to say that I'm very

264
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.399
honored that you would choose a key and Peel sketch

265
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.279
for your celebrations. That's the whole thing here. The reason

266
00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:59.919
I'm here is I wanted to share with you guys,

267
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.919
jecially with you, Rico, is that I've done my recent

268
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.159
research and apparently I guess the rules that are made

269
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.600
up in a comedy sketch do not necessarily reflect the

270
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.039
rules of the NFL. Daddell's agent said they would appeal

271
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.200
the fine, and ESPN reports to find his fourteen four

272
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.120
hundred and ninety one dollars. Keag and Michael Key did

273
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.559
some math regarding the fine and said, fourteen thousand dollars

274
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.559
for two pumps. That's seven grand a pump. That means

275
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.720
if you do zero pumps then it would cost you

276
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.639
zero thousand dollars and a fine. Keek and Michael Key

277
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.840
originally responded to the penalty. Last Monday. He had posted

278
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.240
a video saying, Rico, you got robbed. You only did

279
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.159
two pumps. I'm sorry, man, I'm gonna have to write

280
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.120
a new sketch. We are long today and I didn't

281
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:42.399
even rant about Sebastian Maniscalco's new trailer. That's tomorrow New

282
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.320
York Comedy Festival. Have they fixed the website? Let's find out. Well,

283
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.799
it's scrolling well today. I mean, I wish I could

284
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.240
just click on Tuesday and not have to scroll through

285
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.679
shows that are in the past. I don't know what

286
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.320
I'm supposed to do with that information, but okay, I'll scroll.

287
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.720
Still haven't seen any like massive headliners. Later in the

288
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.759
week is skang Fest in New Orleans. I'll talk about

289
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.559
that on Friday. Wait, do you see the lineup for

290
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.679
skang Fest and you'll see what I'm talking about. How

291
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.799
New York, despite Jim Gaffigan winning the Vanguard Award, doesn't

292
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.120
have the star power this year. Tell you what today,

293
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.360
I'm gonna read you everything. I won't get into spesticifity,

294
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:17.799
but you'll see what I'm talking about here right Seven

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.440
under visible. I'll call it right. The New York Comedy

322
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.159
Festival presents Comics to watch the annual live stand up

323
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.120
showcase featuring the very best new comedians from around the country.

324
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.039
One day you'll say you saw them here. First REP

325
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.600

326
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.159
but they are Gray West, Nate Meeker, Tachiana Frank Thash Mose,

327

329
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.320
the comics to watch REPPT And let's get out there,

330
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.679
because I'm gonna hit save and immediately record Wednesday's show

331
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.200
because I got to get the Sebastian Man of Scheco

332
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.440
thing out of my system here. And how long do

333
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.080
you want the show to be? I mean it's long.

334
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.399
You got a nice, healthy show today. Don't write me

335
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:25.519
a letter. See you tomorrow.
