00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.199
daily comedy news, A daily briefing on stand up comedy
3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.000
comedians in the comedy industry. A sentence Spotify seems to
4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.239
like a lot. Ah, is it cold enough for you?
5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.719
I hope you and your family are safe, as depending
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.839
where you live, you got between two and two hundred
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.039
million inches of snow, So I hope you guys are okay.
8
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.280
Let me start off with Matt Baloney on threads Now.
9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.560
If you don't know Matt, he's an entertainment reporter. He's
10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.119
got a podcast and he writes for Puck. He posted
11
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.039
Pete Davidson's New Quote Unquote Video podcast. So this is
12
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.240
one of my pet peeves. If you follow my substack
13
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.520
and it's free and there's a link in the show notes,
14
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.159
and if you follow me on LinkedIn, you know that
15
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.479
I can't stand things being called podcasts that are not podcasts.
16
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.000
And there's no definition at all in which Pete Davidson's
17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.759
TV show is a podcast. It's just not. It's a
18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.640
Netflix show. Matt Boloney writes on social media. Pete Davidson's
19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.560
New Quote Unquote Video podcast will air only on Netflix.
20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.799
Isn't that just a non union talk show? SAG After
21
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.760
and Netflix continue to have discussions regarding the Pete Davidson project.
22
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:16.400
A union rep tells me, very interesting. Yeah, I've seen
23
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.319
people in the industry talk about that at some point
24
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.920
something's not a podcast, and the tweet speaks for itself.
25
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.799
I'm not getting into a labor dispute, but very very interesting.
26
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.719
So we'll see what happens with this Pete Davidson thing.
27
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.519
Did you watch Free Bert? I made it nine minutes in.
28
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.359
I'm an admitted comedy snob. It was tolerable. And then
29
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.560
they did the scene with the fake podcast, which was
30
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.760
just too cartoony for me, and then the mean girls
31
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.760
high school scenes, and I'm like, I just don't want
32
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.599
to watch this show. It might be fine, it's not
33
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.280
for me. Bert got a wax drop from The Hollywood
34
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.280
Reporter last week. They talked about his gimmick of taking
35
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.319
off his shirt and that it was fun when he
36
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.280
was the only guy doing it. The Holly Reporter said,
37
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.200
then along came Jason Kelcey and entire stadiums full of
38
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.959
college kids. Bert says, with a whiff of frustration in
39
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.879
his voice. Now it's like everyone shirtless, Plus, Krayscher found
40
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.439
he could barely decipher his own past specials, as they
41
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.599
all featured him in a uniform of jeens and nothing else.
42
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.960
Bert says, so I thought, what if I wore a
43
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.800
full suit in the next special? Wife lee Anne pushed
44
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.520
him a reconsider and said, only do it if you
45
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.439
want to. But Krasher didn't really want to. So he's
46
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.159
going to continue just as he has with no shirt.
47
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.439
Good question by the Hollow Reporter. They said, when we
48
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.319
spoke in twenty twenty three, you thought Hollywood didn't know
49
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.599
what to do with you. How about now? Burt says,
50
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.080
you know what's so funny is that I feel like
51
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:35.879
they knew what to do with me more then than
52
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.080
they do now. Hollywood's in a weird place. Back then,
53
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.080
did green light a thirty five million dollar movie for
54
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.719
a guy like me? Now that'll never happen. Now they're
55
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.280
trying to figure out what they're doing with movies lately.
56
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.639
The Brice point is three million to seven million, which
57
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.960
is something affordable to go to streamers. But I remember
58
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.560
having a conversation with one of the head people at
59
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.599
Netflix when my movie was coming out. That movie in
60
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.560
the machine. We were in a suite at a Lakers
61
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:57.800
game and I was like, I just hope my movie
62
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.360
does well in theaters. And this person who remain nameless, said,
63
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.199
I hope it doesn't burtsus. Why unnamed person says, because
64
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.919
if it doesn't do well in theaters, it's gonna murder
65
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.639
on Netflix. That's what happened. I was like, GD, they
66
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.280
know the effing algorithm. But people in Hollywood are scrambling
67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:14.800
to try to figure out what's happening next. I mean,
68
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.879
I've had so many meetings about so many different avenues
69
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.439
of revenue in this business. People bring things to me
70
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.039
that are like start your own website, get on a
71
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.840
streaming platform, sign an overall deal. I mean, if I
72
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.479
had someone offered me one hundred million dollars to make
73
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.439
ten movies like Adam Sandler meets ab and Costello. Hey,
74
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.840
I stumbled into that last week. I hadn't even pre
75
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.639
read this. I think that was Thursday's episode. Go back
76
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.840
and listen to that one, back to creature. If someone
77
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.719
offered me a hundred million dollars like Adam Sandler meets
78
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.800
Abin Costello, but it's always a bird adventure, So no,
79
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.360
I don't think Hollywood knows to do with me, and
80
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.000
what sucks is they have to figure it out before
81
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.960
they do. Holly was out at the screening of mel
82
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.479
Brooks The ninety nine year Old Man, the new Jed
83
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.000
Appatow documentary. Mel Brooks was there himself. He said, I'm
84
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.639
very happy about anything that has to do with me
85
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.280
that's positive. The ninety nine year Old Man chronicles mel
86
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.159
Brooks's romance with his second wife, Anne Bancroft, and his
87
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.360
bromance with Carl Reiner, who passed away in twenty twenty.
88
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.080
It also features interviews with comedians including Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller,
89
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.840
Dave Chappelle, and the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler. Star
90
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.040
Trek Ruiner. Patton on Oswalt was there and said he
91
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.959
wasn't afraid to show his influences, which is really gutsy.
92
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.759
Clean that up a little. Jud's busy, not only the
93
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.360
mel Brooks dock. He's making a documentary about Maria Bamford,
94
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.199
Paralyzed by Hope, The Maria Bamford Story, premiering its Sun
95
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.360
Dance Apatel's premise. He's perplexed and fascinated by Bamford, who
96
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.040
exists in a strange category. She's won awards and gained
97
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.000
quite a bit of mainstream visibility and success, but her
98
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.519
brand of humor is something of an acquired taste, built
99
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.920
as it is, on confessional discomfort. I've talked about this
100
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.079
in the past. There are people who love Maria Bamford
101
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.879
and there are people that are like, yeah, she's fine.
102
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.839
I'm in the latter camp. In the Bamford film, Conan
103
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.040
O'Brien says, ninety nine percent of comedians will tell you
104
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.399
they have anxieties, and you understand it's a stick. Marie
105
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.319
is like a lop whose shell has been removed. Jimmy
106
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.160
Fallon got quite the puff piece in the Hollywood Reporter.
107
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.959
They spoke with Chris Miller, the showrunner of The Tonight Show,
108
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.160
and the premise here was how cool the Tonight Show
109
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.040
is with the kids today and how they're staying relevant.
110
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.639
Chris Miller said, Jimmy will text all day long he
111
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.800
saw this on TikTok, or this was fun on Instagram,
112
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.879
or what if we did that. He's in it immensely.
113
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.319
Head of Digital Nick Dyer added, it's very much like
114
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.279
a back and forth conversation we're having when we have
115
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.680
these guests on the show to make sure that we're
116
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.879
putting together something that doesn't just feel like we're hopping
117
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.639
on a trend. Got news for you. Head of Digital
118
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.120
Nick Dyer Miller says, the Tonight Show is going to
119
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.839
be on for seventy five years, a couple of years
120
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.959
from now. The Tonight Show debuted in nineteen fifty four.
121
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.199
We'll add seventy fives. That gets us twenty twenty nine
122
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.839
if I did the math right, Miller said, I always
123
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.639
think how many things have happened in the industry over
124
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.319
there seventy five years where people are like, what are
125
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.240
we going to do now? This is a moment. Let's
126
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.600
not overcorrect. Let's not overreact to anything all of a sudden.
127
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.519
You've got cable television, You've got DVR, then the Internet.
128
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.759
I always sort of thinking it's core. Wherever you're consuming
129
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.079
the Tonight Show, it's going to be the familiar Tonight Show.
130
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.319
It shouldn't ever feel that different or be that different.
131
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.680
We want a fun monologue, we want comedy. We'll maybe
132
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.519
do some act to comedy with a guest, maybe with
133
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.680
audience members. We want great interviews where we get the
134
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.959
talent to do something they haven't seen before music that
135
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.360
you're hearing about at a digital Nick Dyer says, I
136
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.480
think from a traditional long form, lean back viewing standpoint,
137
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.000
YouTube is still that platform where you can consume the
138
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.079
full extended interviews that we have because Jimmy will talk
139
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.839
to guests for much longer than what we can fit
140
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.639
into our linear broadcast. Dyer says, so that's a great
141
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.319
thing for people to check out after the show from
142
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.560
more back and forth with Jimmy and guests. How you
143
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.439
try to look at something like TikTok and Instagram and
144
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.399
that's where you tendesseee the Lions share those clips that
145
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.759
grow viral, which's these short moments that are clipped out
146
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.720
to go out on different social platforms. USA Today profiled
147
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.240
task Master. Task Master Greg Davies told USA Today, we
148
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.319
have no idea, Rather we have a developing idea of
149
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.560
how popular the show is. They're doing live shows in
150
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:54.920
the US. Last year, when we came and did a
151
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.480
show in New York, we were blown away by people
152
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.079
stopping us in the streets. We had no idea what
153
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.120
to expect, and the same is true of this to or.
154
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.240
We sort of had an idea of that the show
155
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.279
was popular on YouTube, but we've been amazed by the enthusiasm.
156
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.480
Jason Minzukas was on season nineteen. Comel Nanjianni will be
157
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.160
on season twenty one. Some of the wish list of
158
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.160
other American comedians includes Sarah Silverman, Mike Birbiglia, Ali Wong,
159
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.519
and Conan O'Bryant, but Davey says they're down to have
160
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.639
anybody who understands the show. I think the show would
161
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.519
be really fun with someone like Conan, who's used to
162
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.040
being the funniest person in the room and the person
163
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.959
who's pulling all the levers and making the things happen.
164
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.879
It'd be fun to see him exist in our controlled world.
165
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.519
On Taskmaster, Davies acts as a dictator, judging comedians for
166
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.199
their performances in five episode takes. An episode like eat

Gass has confirmed to Rolling Stone that Tenacious D will return.
205
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.600
He says, we're going to come back. It's going to
206
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.720
be bigger than Oasis. Now. You may remember back in
207
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.759
July of twenty twenty four, Gas was on stage and
208
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.480
he made a joke that the next would be assassin
209
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.559
of a very famous person. Would not miss Gas said
210
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.960
it was terrible judgment. Obviously, I felt terrible ever since,
211
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.200
because it's such a responsibility not to screw up like that,
212
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.399
wound up getting canceled. Jack Black distanced himself. Gas said,
213
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.919
we had to take a break, and I get it.
214
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.320
Jack has this magnificent career. I can't even count the
215
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.639
franchises now, so as hard as it was, I just
216
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.039
had to take the long ride home. All right? When
217
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.440
will the reunion happen? Gas says, we will serve no
218
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.759
d wine before it's d time. Meanwhile, the Kyle Gas
219
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.559

Serious Stories to bring Us Home from the New York
223
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.440
Post sourcing TMZ, I believe newly surfaced video allegedly captured
224
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.440
comedian Corey Holcomb punching a female comic in the face
225
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.960
outside of Hollywood Club. Reports say that several bystanders rushed
226
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.759
to Corey Holcomb and tackled him to the ground. The
227
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.679
woman filed a battery report with the LAPD. Authorities never
228
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.279
arrested Corey Holcomb. According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say
229
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.679
the confrontation stemmed from a month long dist between the
230
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.559
two comedians. Meanwhile, Russell Brand not sure he's taking this
231
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.960
too seriously. After being hit with two additional counts of
232
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.600
rape and sexual assault on top of five similar charges
233
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.840
he previously pleaded not guilty to, Russell Brand said, never
234
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.159
mind anything else. This court sketch is an injustice. Apparently
235
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.120
he doesn't like the way he was drawn. That's your
236
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.480
comedy news for today. Back at noon Eastern with comedy Survivors.
237
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:26.840
