00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny mag with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.480
Hope you had a good Christmas.
This is an extra episode. There's enough

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.920
going on that I just wanted to
check in. I've got a lot of

4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.359
special episodes this week with end of
the year list that I already have in

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.160
the can, but I wanted to
just check in with you and talk about

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.800
a couple things that are happening.
This episode to be a little shorter than

7
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.920
usual. Pete Davidson has canceled a
bunch of shows. Hope Pete is doing

8
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:36.000
okay. He was supposed to play
the Beacon Theater on Friday night, and

9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.920
the Beacon announced in an Instagram story
post that the show had been canceled.

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.960
They did not give any reason.
According to Deadline, ticket holders were made

11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.200
aware of the show cancelation in an
email two hours before the show. You

12
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.479
know somebody who lives a good two
hours away from the city. I could

13
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.479
see where that might be a little
late and frustrating, but again, I

14
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.640
hope Pete is okay. Here.
Ticket goers were automatically refunded. All of

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.280
Peach's shows have been canceled up until
January third. According to Ticketmaster. His

16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:11.319
next scheduled event is January fourth in
Milwaukee. Messages shared on websites for Chattanooga's

17
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.079
Walker Theater, Pittsburgh's Bay In Theater, and Milwaukee's Riverside Theater say the cancelations

18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.560
were due to quote unforeseen circumstances.
Netflix released the trailer for Dave Chappelle's New

19
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.319
Year's Eve special. It's quirky.
Let's listen. What do you dream about?

20
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.719
Not the dreams you have in your
sleep, the one to hold in

21
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.319
your heart. Don't be intimidated by
the audacity of your dream, be inspired

22
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.719
by it. What happens to a
dream deferred? Look at the Dave.

23
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:57.480
He doesn't know the dreamer. I'm
looking forward to that. Another reason I

24
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.280
wanted to check in is I did, indeed watch both Ricky and Gary Goleman.

25
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.000
I'll speak more about these at length
later in the week when I do

26
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.199
my top special. So the year
Jervais's Top ten. I liked it a

27
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:13.199
lot. Maybe it got a little
long in the middle there, but he

28
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:19.319
basically went to DGAF mode and did
some probably the best material I've heard about

29
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.560
the anti woke crowd. Really solid
special. If you haven't had a chance

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.599
again. I'll talk about that later
in the week. Gary Goleman special is

31
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.960
the best special of the year.
I won't pull my punch there. I

32
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:34.800
watched that on Friday night and thought
it was absolutely fantastic. Gary. Gary's

33
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.840
now really moving up the list.
I feel like, maybe one more special

34
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.599
and people are going to be like, oh wow, he's just a wonderful

35
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.599
wordsmith and the schedule is just well
crafted. So right now I have that

36
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.599
at number one, and since I
won't be watching any more specials before I

37
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.159
record my top of the Year,
because I'm about to do that next Gary

38
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.120
Goleman is going to be number one. Spoilers, I'll leave you with a

39
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.759
sad note. Stand up comedian Neil
Nanda has died at age thirty two.

40
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.080
Nanda known for appearances on Jimmy Kimmel
Live and Comedy Central's Adam Devine's House Party.

41
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.560
Matt Rich tweeted, rip Neil Nanda. You were one of the nicest,

42
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.479
hardest working comedians I've ever called a
friend, and I hope you can

43
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.960
be at peace. Brother Dane Cook
shared a tribute along with the number for

44
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.759
the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Dane
wrote, I didn't know Neil Nanda personally,

45
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.439
but reading several tributes is both heartbreaking
and eye opening. I echo so

46
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.879
many expressing that there is help out
there. Please remember you were never alone.

47
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.439
People want to help you. There's
a path through your pain. Peror

48
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.039
to Neil's family, friends and fans, dial nine to eight eight for help

49
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.039
and love. Nanda told VC Reporter
in twenty eighteen that he used to copy

50
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.400
down his favorite jokes from Comedy Central
into a notebook to retaill his middle school

51
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.439
friends, and then he joked,
I didn't realize I was stealing jokes until

52
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.240
I was in high school. When
I was in high school, I started

53
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.719
writing my own jokes, using the
structure of some of the jokes I had

54
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.719
previously stolen. A friend read the
notebook and told me, you know,

55
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.560
you could just go perform these right. I didn't know, but after a

56
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.319
quick Google search, I was off
to the laughing skull open Mic told VC

57
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.360
reporter, I would say my proudest
accomplishment thus Foreign Comedy was performing on Jimmy

58
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.840
Kimmel Live. I've always wanted to
do a set on late night, and

59
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:11.159
Jimmy Kimmel was my first choice.
I performed when my parents were a fan

60
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.319
of the host. If you're just
catching up, today is December twenty sixth.

61
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:16.879
There was a normal episode in the
feed, and I did episodes all

62
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.439
over the weekend. I'll be back
in the morning with the eleven most powerful

63
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.759
people in comedy. See you tomorrow.
