No buzz on Shane Gillis? What's up with Amy Schumer? Why did Pete Davidson bail on Matt Rife?

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.000
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news to

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.320
Valentine's Day jokes. I know it's
the sixteenth, but these from late night

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:17.800
they were pretty good. Seth Meyers
said, today was Valentine's Day, so

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.120
no, and I'm getting tonight eight
hours of sleep. Love it. Jimmy

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.000
Fallon said, that's right, it's
Valentine's Day and if you forgot, don't

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.480
worry. This is a good chance
President Biden did too. Ouch. Let's

7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.240
start on gossip corner. Matt Rife
recently played Radio City. Remember the show

8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:36.479
and Lisa Ann, the actress,
got thrown out? I told you about

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.200
that story. Yeah. Apparently,
Pete Davidson was scheduled to be the surprise

10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.719
warm up act on the first night. Pete had agreed to do the gig,

11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:49.320
but according to Radio City insiders,
Pete backed out two hours before showtime.

12
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.560
Rife's team had to scramble to find
a backup. They wound up going

13
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.039
with John Campanelli, who has toured
with Rife. Sounds stressful, but it's

14
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.920
New York City. I mean that
hard to find a comedian who knows.

15
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.239
Shane Gillis host Saturday Night Live tomorrow. Johnny Mac is curious there's been no

16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.359
press. I thought there'd be a
bunch of articles. There were early in

17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:17.359
a week with people complaining about Shane, but usually NBC or release a teaser

18
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.959
or something, and I thought people
would react to that. So far,

19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.280
nothing very interesting. I'm sure we'll
have some reactions after the fact. I

20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.120
got this fancy email from the Netflix
is a Joke Festival. I was looking

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.079
for some proper copy, but there
is none, so I'll just have to

22
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.599
skim this email here. Netflix is
a Joke Fest just added at one o

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.519
plus artists and one hundred and eighty
plus shows at LA's most iconic comedy clubs.

24
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.439
Let's open up the email and see
what we got. So this is

25
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.799
gonna be all over the place schedule
wise, right, Howie Mandel in our

26
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.959
Senio Hall at the Comedy Store in
May fourth, that's not bad, Master

27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.319
Brownie at the Improv on the second, Eric Griffin and Friends at the Laugh

28
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.760
Factory May ninth, Brian Simpson at
the Comedy Store on the seventh, Namesh

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.000
Patel May fourth at the Improv.
Also shows by Dulce, Sloan, Steph

30
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.040
Tolev, Pink Fox, Janato Unaka, who's really fantastic, Eliza Trigger,

31
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.759
Jannis Poppus. So the people I
mentioned got pictures. Now I'm in a

32
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.120
section that says and so many more, which is interesting because I think some

33
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.280
of these names are bigger. Some
of these names include Jay Farrows at the

34
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.000
Improv on May eighth, Big Jay
Okerson at the Comedy Store on the tenth,

35
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.000
and then some lesser known people.
And then the email ends, send

36
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.439
some copy? Will you Netflix?
If you're in Tilleride tonight? The Tillride

37
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.719
Comedy Festival continues Tonight is in evening
of stand up and improv, hosted by

38
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.479
Nick Krohle. Also appearing on the
show are Jason Menzukis and Paul Sheer,

39
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.680
along with a bunch of other comedians. If you are in Duluth, the

40
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.479
Duluth Comedy Festival is back today after
a five year hiatus. Drew Lynch opens

41
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:53.159
tonight. Maria Bamford Tomorrow Night with
Jackie Kash. Bamford discussed writing and said,

42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.039
within the myth of Sisypus, I
am the rock. If you're in

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.719
charge of pushing me up that hill, there's no momentum. I'm gonna roll

44
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.080
right back down again. Asked what's
making her laugh these days, she said

45
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.560
her husband YouTube and open mics.
I saw an older man doing a rhyming

46
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.039
act five minutes. Not only was
it misogynist, really anti woman, but

47
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.960
also body positive. So if you
ever border lonely, treat yourself. Drew

48
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.800
Lynch tonight at eight Maria and Jackie
on Saturday. And Marie's also doing a

49
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.759
book signing at two to four pm
on Sunday at the Zenith Bookstore on Central

50
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.840
Avenue. You know the one funny
stuff from Maria Bamford who said, I'm

51
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.319
not a drinking person's comic. I'm
not always a good time. Please YouTube

52
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.719
me before buying a ticket. It's
really harm reduction. Some people into Luth

53
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.360
have suggested that they name a street
after Maria Bamford. There are some streets

54
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.599
there named after Bob Dylan. Dylan
spent time in Duluth and his youth,

55
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.879
but never wrote about the town,
so they want to rename those with Maria

56
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.000
Bamford's name. She was asked what
would be on Maria Bamford Street, and

57
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.039
she said, it's got to be
a dead end, right, a sinkhole.

58
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.879
Maybe it's just a sidewalk outside of
the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Al

59
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.319
dot Com is in Alabama. Dot
Com asked Dusty Slay about his perspective as

60
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.039
a Southern comedian. Dusty, who
I Love, said, yeah, I

61
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.120
mean I'm Southern, right. It's
like I live in the South. I've

62
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.280
always lived in the South, and
I really like it. I don't know

63
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.639
that you can necessarily be proud of
just being born in a geographical area,

64
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.159
but if you can, yeah,
I'm proud of it. I feel like

65
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.639
the South is a special place.
We've got a lot of food traditions and

66
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.599
things. I don't know. I
just love being in the South. But

67
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.759
it's not my whole being, you
know. My accent. Sometimes it's there,

68
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.879
sometimes it's not. It definitely faded
a lot over the years. I

69
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.439
wish i'd talked like Matthew McConaughey,
but I don't, and I'm not gonna

70
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.720
fake it. I've traveled all over
the country now. There are a lot

71
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.279
of great places in this country,
and even places growing up that I thought

72
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:29.920
i'd never like. I go there
and I'm like, wow, this is

73
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.800
a wonderful place. California these days
can be the butt of a lot of

74
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.279
jokes, but you go to California
and it's like, oh, it's awesome

75
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.959
out here. Why did he pick
Knoxville as the location for his recent special,

76
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.519
He said, if I'm given an
opportunity to film, I usually end

77
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.040
up having to go to New York
in LA I love going all the cities,

78
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.720
but I never get to do anything
in the South film wise. This

79
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.040
time was my choice. I want
to do something in the South, and

80
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.360
I really like Knoxville, but they
don't have a comedy club, so I

81
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.240
thought, I never get to go
there and do comedy. That's perfect.

82
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.240
My jokes will be fresh to them. Then the Biju Theater in Knoxville came

83
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.759
up as an option. It's a
really nice theater and friends of mine comics

84
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.439
have done the Bshu and they spoke
highly of it. We sold out two

85
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.800
shows, so I got to do
two shows back to back and they were

86
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.560
great. Like we didn't have to
go out and do things where we say,

87
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.240
all right, we need you to
get a laugh here so we can

88
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.839
capture some laughter. We didn't have
to do any of that. You never

89
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.000
know. I could do a joke
one hundred times, get a huge laugh,

90
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.240
and then the day I'm recording,
Suddenly he doesn't get a laugh.

91
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.160
But this audience was on board all
the way. The shows were amazing.

92
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.839
Hannibal Burr spoke to The Sun Times
about his music career. He said music

93
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.160
happened before comedy, but not in
a way when I was doing it much.

94
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.839
I was around it though. When
I got into comedy early on,

95
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.360
I was having positive experiences and was
easy to keep doing it. I think

96
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.120
a lot of it was partially identity
too. You know, I'm a comedian,

97
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.399
but I appreciate now that with music, I'm able to go into it

98
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.040
at a high level. I know
that if nobody else books me, I'm

99
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.920
gonna book me. As for comedy, he says, the business is in

100
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.439
a huge place right now. There's
a lot more people doing arenas, a

101
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.360
lot more people doing big theaters and
multiple nights. Really because of podcasting and

102
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.839
YouTube. It still a huge deal
if someone plays Madison Square Gardener United Center,

103
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.240
but there's more people doing it than
there used to be. What is

104
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.480
it like about Chicago? He says, I hit a pot belly a lot.

105
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.839
You ever have pot belly? It's
pretty good. He says, for

106
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.120
real, this is not me trying
to get sponsored. I'm trying to tell

107
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.480
you the pot Belly Perks app.
Every two purchases, they're giving me something

108
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.399
free. He opened up his app
as proof says, I got three hundred

109
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.759
and fifty five points. All right, tomorrow on this very program. It

110
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.279
is the episode where I say nice
things about Adam Sandler movies. It's recorded,

111
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.160
it's in the can. So unless
sometime today, you know, Dave

112
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.319
Chappelle and I don't know, John
Mulaney get into a fistfight and Kat Williams

113
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.160
makes fun of it, unless something
like that breaks out, that will be

114
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.240
tomorrow's episode. And I played it
straight, no sarcasm, no loaded comments,

115
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.240
didn't put a lilt in my voice. It's a straight up episode me

116
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.199
saying nice things about Adam Sandler movies. That's tomorrow. Sunday will be normal.

117
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.040
Are you watching louder Milk on Netflix. My buddy Mike in Cleveland mentioned

118
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.480
that he was watching it, and
I was looking for something to watch the

119
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.920
other night. I was like,
all right, I'll check this out,

120
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.480
and boy, it's really good.
Who knew? I guess everybody but me

121
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.959
knew, But then again maybe not. You see, louder Milk had been

122
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.839
around. Previously, it used to
run on the AT and T Audience Network.

123
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.519
What yeah, that's why you've never
seen it. But Netflix picked it

124
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.519
up and they put it in front
of Mike, and Mike's telling everybody about

125
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.439
it. And now Loudermilk Season one
was in the Netflix Top ten most view

126
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.680
shows in the US for four weeks
the week's ending January fourteenth, twenty one,

127
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.720
twenty eight, and February four with
a peak rank of number four during

128
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.199
the week of January fifteenth. Deadlines
Ratings Guru said this is just another example

129
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.800
of the power of Netflix when it
comes to boosting the profile of shows.

130
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.240
I'll jump in yeah, like the
Suits is back right, yeah, it

131
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.879
says. This one's a bit of
a different ballgame than some of the HBO

132
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.639
series we've seen light up on Netflix
since the AT and T Audience Network had

133
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.959
a much smaller footprint. Much smaller
is an understatement. I think this podcast

134
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.000
has a bigger audience than the AT
and T Audience Network had. However,

135
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.519
it's becoming really clear that Netflix can
do for a series what basically no other

136
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.839
streamer can. Loudermilk first aired in
twenty seventeen on the afore mentioned Audience Network

137
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.839
for ten episodes, then the next
year another ten. Then the show received

138
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.160
the season three order in twenty eighteen, which was filmed, and then the

139
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.040
AT and T Audience Network shut down
before it aired. In April of twenty

140
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.759
twenty one, Season three of Loudermilk
aired on Amazon Prime, which none of

141
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.800
us watched. Well, now there's
talk of making a season four. Isn't

142
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.920
that amazing? There is a proposed
plot here for season four, but I'm

143
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.959
going to resist the temptation to read
it to you because it might ruin your

144
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.160
enjoyment of the show. But check
out Loudermilk. It is a lot of

145
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.200
fun. Earlier in the week,
I told you that Gavin and Stacey was

146
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.480
coming back for a Christmas thing.
E Well, Ruth Jones, who stars

147
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.759
in the show and co writes it
with James Corden, said that's just a

148
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.600
rumor. She told Ireland's Arte Radio
one. I don't know what to say.

149
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.519
All I could say is if there
was something to say on that front,

150
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.559
James and I would happily announce it. With some random journalists who decided

151
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.879
to write this, I'm lost for
words. It's hilarious. I just have

152
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.440
to smile. She made fun of
the next notion. Apparently there's a bidding

153
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.480
war going on between the BBC and
Netflix, and I love it because it

154
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.720
says a source says, Who's this
source? Amy Schumer's Life and Beth is

155
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.519
back today. I was driving in
New York City the other day by the

156
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.039
Lincoln Tunnel entrance on the Manhattan side. There was a big billboard promoting this

157
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.399
Amy's been making the rounds. I
skimmed the articles and I didn't find anything

158
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.720
interesting enough to share with you,
so I'll just tell you that the show

159
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.159
is back today. She was on
Jimmy Fallon and some people thought she looked

160
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.000
different. I'm not here to be
Caddy, but you might want to google

161
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.840
that. And that is your comedy
news for today again. Adam Sandler Tomorrow

162
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.840
can't wait, can't you? Yeah? If you enjoy the program, tell

163
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.840
a friend about it. They might
like it too, and I'll see you here tomorrow
