1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.119
I got some nice compliments about that Hepburg episode on Saturday,

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.879
thank you very much. So that was to accommodate my

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.920
schedule and had a pre tape a couple here, which

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.239
means today I want to catch up on a few

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.000
major items I didn't get to comment on yet. George

7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.879
Lopez says he's retiring from stand up comedy after his

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.759
next comedy special. Lopez says, I've subjected the American people

9
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.759
to enough of my crap. This is making me feel ancient.

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.920
When I started at serious comedy, the very first comedian

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.679
I met in that role was George Lopez, and I

12
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.280
have seen people come and go. I was recently thinking

13
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.119
of my friend Lisa Lampinelli, who had a hot career

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.079
for a while. She's retired. Ron White retired, Lewis Black retiring.

15
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.240
It's just crazy, Lopez says, it seems like the right time.

16
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.920
It's been the one thing that has just never like

17
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.840
me my whole life, and it's a wonderful place to

18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.719
leave it at this particular point. Lopez got his start

19
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.000
and stand up comedy in the eighties. Appearing on The

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.760
Arsenio Hall Show and The Johnny Carson Tonight Show. In

21
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.799
nineteen ninety two, he'd tell the La Times that he'd

22
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.280
like to start on his own TV show like Seinfelder Rozanne,

23
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.719
where he would have full creative control because the parts

24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.120
they write are horrible for Latinos. He did get his

25
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.560
own show, The George Lopez Show, which ran for six

26
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.840
seasons on ABC. Lopez is only sixty three. He had

27
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.599
a kidney transplant at one point, right, so you know,

28
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.879
maybe that factor's in. He says. This upcoming special on

29
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.519
Amazon is the last one. It was filmed in Los

30
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.239
Angeles September twenty seventh and twenty eighth as part of

31
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.840
his All Right Comedy Tour. He's not entirely retiring, though,

32
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.200
He's going to continue to work on his NBC series,

33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.400
Lopez Versus Lopez. He says, I wanted to spend more

34
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.680
time with my daughter, and I love the show. Lopez

35
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.640
Versus Lopez just headed into its third season on NBC.

36
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:58.079
You've probably seen some Jerry Seinfeld headlines. Jerry Seinfeld backtracked

37
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.599
on the comments he made earlier this year. Or you

38
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.719
may recall, Jerry had blamed the extreme left and PC

39
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.280
crap for ruining comedy. Jerry told The New Yorker back

40
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.759
in April that he believed TV comedy was suffering because

41
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.360
people are worrying so much about offending other people. Is quote,

42
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.639
then nothing really affects comedy. People always need it, they

43
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.080
need it so badly, and they don't get it. Used

44
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.080
to be, you'd go home at the end of the

45
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.120
day and most people go, Okay, Cheers is on, Okay,

46
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.639
mashes on and oh, Mary Tyler More is on. All

47
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.599
the family's on. You just expected to be some funny

48
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.879
stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well guess what

49
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.080
where is it? This is the result of the extreme

50
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.199
left and PC crap and people worrying so much about

51
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.319
offending other people. When you write a script and it

52
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.560
goes into four or five different hands committee's groups, here's

53
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.879
our thought about this joke. Well, that's the end of

54
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.719
your comedy. I agree with him about the comedy by

55
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.400
committee thing, absolutely, you may recall Julia Louis Driff has

56
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.479
pushed back, saying I want to hear people starting to

57
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.159
complain about political correctness, and I understand why people might

58
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.719
push back on it. To me, that's red flag because

59
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.360
it sometimes means something else. Well, Jerry has now backpedaled.

60
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.560
He was on Tom Poppa's podcast. All right, here's where

61
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.759
I'll jump in. I think Jerry did Tom a favor.

62
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.280
Why do you say that, Johnny Mack. Tom Papa has

63
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.560
a special on Netflix next week. Papa used to open

64
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.039
for Jerry. They are friends, they are good friends. And

65
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.599
I think this was an interesting place for Jerry Seinfeld

66
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.759
to make headlines because now we're talking about Tom Papa

67
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.680
a week before his special. See how all this works,

68
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.000
Folks pay attention to timing on things on Tom Papa's podcast, which,

69
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.000
by the way, the special on Netflix next week. We'll

70
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.840
talk about that one tomorrow. Jerry said his original comments

71
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.719
were wrong and he regretted saying it. Jerry told Papa,

72
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.719
I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art

73
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.479
of comedy. I did say that. It's not true. If

74
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.439
you're champion skier, you could put the gates anywhere you

75
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.960
want on the mountain and you're gonna make the gate.

76
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.159
That's comedy. Whatever the culture is, we make the gate.

77
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:48.520
You don't make the gate, you're out of the game.

78
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.000
The game is, where's the gate? How do I make

79
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.360
the gate and get down the hill the way I

80
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.360
want to. Does culture change? Are the things I used

81
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.240
to say that I can't because people are always moving

82
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.039
the gate. Yes, but that's the biggest easiest target. You

83
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.439
can't say certain words whatever they are about groups, So

84
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.080
what the accuracy of your observation has to be one

85
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.360
hundred times finer than that to just be a comedian.

86
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.680
So I don't think, as I said, the extreme left

87
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.680
has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I'm

88
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.680
taking that back now. Officially they have not. It's not

89
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.879
my business to like or not like where the culture's at.

90
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.639
It's my business to make the gate to stay with

91
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.879
my skiing analogy. Seinfeld denied suggesting he would never perform

92
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.439
at colleges because young people were to PC. He told

93
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.680
Tom Papa, I play colleges all the time. I have

94
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.879
no problem with kids performing for them. I do colleges

95
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.800
all the time. Which is interesting because in twenty fifteen,

96
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.079
Jerry Seinfeld told ESPN show The Herd quote, I don't

97
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.680
play colleges, which is a chair, but I mean maybe

98
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.720
nine years ago he didn't know he does. I'll be fair,

99
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.199
I don't play colleges, but I hear a lot of

100
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.160
people tell me don't go near colleges they're so pc.

101
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.720
I'll give you an example. My daughter's fourteen wife says

102
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.240
to her, well, you know, the next couple years, I

103
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.519
think maybe you're gonna want to be hanging around the

104
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.560
c anymore on the week out and so you can

105
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.720
see the boys. No, my daughter says, She says, that's sexist.

106
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.839
They just want to use these words. That's racist, that's sexist,

107
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.600
that's prejudice. They don't even know they're talking about as Then,

108
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.680
if he believed such her attitude's hurt comedy, he replied, yes,

109
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.279
it does. Jerry Seinfeld says, you're welcome. All right, more stuff.

110
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.240
Johnny Mack asked to catch up on last week. Jim

111
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.600
Gaffigan crushed the Al Smith dinner. This was a last Thursday.

112
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.839
Kamala Harris became the first presidential candidate in forty years

113
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.040
to skip the Catholic charity bash. Jim did not pull

114
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.160
his punches and said, you know, this event has been

115
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.759
referred to as the Catholic met Gala. Twenty two percent

116
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.360
of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key

117
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.040
demographic in every battleground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice

118
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.360
President Harris not here? Gaff again got some laughs as

119
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.920
he ridiculed Kamala from making times like that naughty podcast

120
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.560
call her daddy. Jim said, I mean, consider this. This

121
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.120
is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New

122
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.160
York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee.

123
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.199
In her defense, I mean, she did find time to

124
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.560
appear on the View Howard Stern Colbert in the longtime

125
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.040
staple of campaigning to call her daddy podcast. You know

126
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.959
what I think this is? I think she doesn't like me, Chuck,

127
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.000
Do I have bad breath? Gaffigan talked about the change

128
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.639
on the ticket, saying the Democrats have been telling us

129
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.279
Trump's reelection is a threat to democracy. In fact, they

130
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.319
were so concerned to this threat they staged a coup.

131
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.720
Else did They're democratically elected and come and installed Kamala Harris.

132
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.360
In other words, all her dreams have come true. Really

133
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.000
makes me consider the power of prayer, right, Cardinal Sometimes

134
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.959
prayers take three and a half years out at George

135
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.560
Clooney op ed this is killer stuff by Gaffigan. So great.

136
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.680
One person on Twitter wrote, hello nine one one. I'd

137
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.319
like to report the murder of an entire political party.

138
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.680
Malania Trump did not enjoy one of Jim's jokes. Jim

139
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.720
referenced the whole thing with Trump's comments about their eating

140
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.959
the cats. They're eating the dogs, Jim said. During the

141
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.839
first and only debate, President Trump talked about migrants taking

142
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.959
cats and eating them. You know, if you're keeping track

143
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.079
at home, this is the second time grabbing a kitty

144
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.160
has been part of a campaign issue. Think about it.

145
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.560
It's a little naughty. I'll leave it there. Trump laughed

146
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.079
at the joke. Milania remained, quote stoneface. We are going

147
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.120
to be very political today. That is just the news.

148
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.079
Donald Trump said he leaned on Fox News to help

149
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.000
him come up with a tight ten minutes of joke

150
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.040
for the dinner. Rumors on social media were that the

151
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.040
jokes had been written by the network's news and opinion hosts.

152
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.120
Trump said, nope, Nick Topolo, quoting Trump, I had a

153
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:18.680
lot of people helping a lot of people, a couple

154
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.439
people from Fox. Actually I shouldn't say that, but they

155
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.240
wrote some of the jokes. The most part, I didn't

156
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.040
like any of them. In a statement, Fox News confirmed

157
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.199
that no employee or freelancers wrote the jokes. According to

158
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.399
one person familiar with Trump set, Nick Topolo contributed one

159
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.079
joke that Trump used that is not uncommon. When Obama

160
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.360
was president, he used some writers from The Daily Show

161
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.319
for his White House Correspondent's dinner routine. Andrew Schultz has

162
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.519
accused the Brooklyn Academy of Music of canceling his scheduled

163
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.399
stand up special just hours after he had Trump on

164
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.439
his podcast. Schultz, on his podcast Flagrant, said three and

165
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.040
a half hours after the Trump interview, they canceled the shows,

166
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.800
f them and f them forever. He shared an email

167
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.160
from the Brooklyn Academy of Music telling him that his

168
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.360
November shows had been canceled, with only a vague explanation quote,

169
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.279
after some internal discussions with leadership, it was decided that

170
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.439
BIM is not the right fit for the show at

171
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.120
this time. Schultz says he doesn't know for sure if

172
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.879
it was because of the Trump interview, but the day

173
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.800
before it came out, we were ready to go. We

174
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.360
were gonna go on sale this week. We've had this

175
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.480
venue locked in for a month now. It's not like

176
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.800
we might do it here. It's booked, it's ready to go.

177
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.759
We're going on sale. This week, Jimmy Kimmel called out

178
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.279
Donald Trump for sharing what Kimmell says is a made

179
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.839
up story about the few times he has been on Kimmel.

180
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.080
Trump was on the Full End podcast. Kimmel shared some

181
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.679
clips from that. On Full Send, Trump called Kimmel a loser,

182
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.720
and Trump said, quote, I do Jimmy Kimmel. I did

183
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.519
him a lot, to which Kimmel said, you might be

184
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.840
confusing me with Stormy Daniels. Kimmell then pushed back and said,

185
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.879
We've been on almost twenty two years. You've been on

186
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.399
three times, Mike. The situation from Jersey Shore has been

187
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.320
on more times than you. But go on, Trump said,

188
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.840
Kimmell used to greet me on the sidewalk outside his studio.

189
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.480
This was before politics, of course, But I'd come in

190
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.320
and be standing on the sidewalk saying, oh, oh, sir,

191
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.960
can I bring you in? And he'd bring me in

192
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.200
every time, Kimill said, and by every time he means

193
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.360
no times. He loves telling this made up story. Never

194
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.600
did I ever stand on the sidewalk to greet Donald

195
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.799
Trump or any guests. The only time I've ever walked

196
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.799
out in the sidewalk for Donald Trump was to urinate

197
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.559
on his star in the Walk of Fame. He has

198
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.840
invited Trump back onto the show on one condition, he

199
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.200
has to take a cognitive test. Kimmell said, if he

200
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.960
wants to come back and accept the invitation that I

201
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.200
made last night, that he'd take a cognitive test against

202
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.960
Kamala Harris, I will for sure roll out the burnt

203
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.000
orange carpet and go meet him on Hollywood Drive. Sticking

204
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.399
with Late Night, seth Meyer has won the bet with

205
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.919
the guy on his staff when the Steelers beat the

206
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.240
New York Jets. Because everyone beats the New York Jets,

207
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.039
I mean, that's not hard. Meyers had a bet with

208
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.720
Kenny Coyle, a Late Night Utility Grip and Fierce Jets

209
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.159
Dave Ot. The original bet was if the Jets won,

210
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.480
Meyers had to play a mug featuring the final score

211
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.120
on his desk for the rest of the football season.

212
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.799
If the Steelers won, Coyle would get a tattoo of

213
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.559
the score and seth Meyer's signature on his arm. Steelers

214
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.600
thirty seven, Jets fifteen. Speaking of sports, where you're watching

215
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.279
ESPN's College Game Day over the weekend, Tony Hinchcliff was

216
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.879
on This caused a stir on social media. I'm just

217
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.039
going to quote Tony Hinchcliff here. Send your letters to Tony,

218
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.720
not to Johnny Mack. Tony Hinchcliff said, quote, I didn't

219
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.919
realize we had pre best in lesbians kicking today. Quote

220
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.879
it's an incredible look. He's like broke back Bob the

221
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.559
Builder unquote. He also referred to another player as quote

222
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:34.440
Matthew m kinda gay. Hassan Minaj's special is out today.

223
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.559
It is called Off with His Head. You may recall

224
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.799
Hassan was probably going to host The Daily Show and

225
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.679
got in some trouble with his previous special, The King's Gesture,

226
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.519
in which he elaborated on some real life events as

227
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.200
comedians tend to do. But I kind of understand on

228
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.399
the other side, why that might not be a good

229
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.480
look for The Daily Show. Who knows? Hassan specialist taped

230
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.759
to July at the San Jose Civic Center. Des Bishop

231
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.360
has a new comedy special called Of All People that's

232
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.840
out on eight undound Gerrilla Today. Of All People's an

233
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.960
hour of original stand up and a culmination of years

234
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.159
of experience on stage all over including Queen's, Ireland and China.

235
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.720
Bishop's material often focuses on cultural differences he noticed being

236
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.960
a transplant into Irish society from Queens at a young age.

237
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.480
He always incorporates a lot of material about in language.

238
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.879
I'm supposed to speak to him later in the week,

239
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.879
so that might be Saturday's episode. I haven't quite planned

240
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.039
it out yet, nor have I actually recorded the interview,

241
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.679
which I need to prep for. But I used to

242
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.600
hang out in the Irish bars in Queens with Irish

243
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.720
Irish people. I'm Irish American and cash cantell from my

244
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.360
American brogue here, and I remember when they in the nineties,

245
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.600
the Irish would be like, hey, you want to get

246
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.879
some crack? And the Irish word crack cr a c

247
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.480
means good fun. I was in New York City in

248
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.440
the nineties crackman something entirely else, so people were like,

249
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.960
you want to get some crack, and I'd be like,

250
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.600
what what are you talking about? No. From cardplayer dot Com,

251
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.080
you're home for comedy news. South Korean comedian Legion Oh

252
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.240
in hot Water, he revealed he broke the country's laws

253
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.720
by illegally gambling. He confessed to be borrowing money from

254
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.080
friends and family, including reportedly one hundred million one that's

255
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.200
seventy four thousand US dollars from Jim and from K

256
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.519
pop band BTS. In the social media post, Lee jin

257
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.440
Ho said, I will fully cooperate with the police investigation

258
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.240
and accept the consequences of my actions. It was the

259
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.080
harsh advice from those close to me and the fear

260
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.879
of losing the work I loved that finally made me

261
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.840
stop gambling. However, by then I had already received financial

262
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.159
help from many people. I am steadily repaying the debt

263
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.879
each month and intend to fully pay it off on

264
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.480
my own, even if it takes the rest of my life.

265
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.919
Lee was the host of the variety show Knowing Bros.

266
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.960
South Korea Network GTBC, in a statement said Lee jin

267
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.720
Ho will leave the program starting with this week's recording.

268
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.000
We will edit out as much of his previously filmed

269
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.679
content as possible. Yikes. Lee was also part of a

270
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:56.080
Netflix show called Comedy Revenge. He missed a press conference

271
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.360
to promote the debut. Netflix said we're deeply disappointed to

272
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.200
learn about this just a day before the show's premiere. However,

273
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.480
Netflix said he will remain in the show. Because the

274
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.799
program is structured around team competitions, fully editing out specific

275
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.039
teams presents significant challenges to the narrative. We ask for

276
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.240
your understanding. Billy Crystal was honored for his devotion to

277
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.039
the Clippers. For some reason, the Basketball Hall of Fame

278
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.399
put in Billy Crystal. He's part of the Nasmith Memorial

279
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.519
Basketball Hall of Fame's James F. Goldstein Superfan Gallery. Billy

280
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.840
Crystal said, how strange should be getting a ring before

281
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.200
any of the Clippers. And that is your comedy news

282
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.519
for today. If you'd like the program without commercial interruption,
