00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.439
Caalarogas shock media. Hi there, I'm Johnnie Mack with your
2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.439
daily comedy news. Now. We try not to get political
3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.800
on this program, especially because the President and I don't
4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.839
agree on all the issues, but on one issue that
5
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.760
we are aligned on, it's this whole make twelve thirty
6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.559
great again issue. I'm very passionate about this. We need
7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.839
to get twelve thirty back to the great days of
8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.760
Letterman and Conan. Are changing networks, Craig Ferguson and now
9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.479
we have Seth Meyers. The President said Seth's show is
10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.359
a ratings disaster aside from everything else, Myers says no
11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.560
talent and NBC should fire him immediately. Seth Myers responded
12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.679
to this on his twelve thirty program, which is closer
13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:46.880
in consumption to this program than it is to Joe
14
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.679
Rogan's program. Those are facts. They're amazing facts, but they're facts.
15
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:52.759
Seth said, you guys, they said my name on TV.
16
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.600
It's not often you hear the name Seth Myers on
17
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.079
TV before midnight. Seth then got somewhat serious and said,
18
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.079
as I've said before, I prefer to handle these situation
19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.920
is the way you handle an angry driver. Who hawks
20
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.079
and flips you off on the highway. You just ignore them,
21
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.359
you know, unless you're in New Jersey then technically that's
22
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.439
a marriage proposal. Conan O'Brien, who helped make twelve thirty Greats,
23
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.640
was in India. On social media, he was sharing some
24
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.200
of the fun he was having. He's shooting season three
25
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.599
of his travel series Conan O'Brien Must Go. One photo
26
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.159
shows Conan with a cricket bat and says, my first
27
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.680
day playing street cricket and I scored eleven hundred points
28
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.680
question mark, I have no idea what happened. In another post,
29
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.519
Conan is seen posing with background dancers. Conan was dressed
30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.120
in a traditional outfit. Decaption. Just filmed a Bollywood extravaganza
31
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.560
with these gifted dancers and incredible crew. I can't wait
32
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.280
for you to watch it on your phone. One more,
33
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.760
he was interacting with the public. They captured lots of
34
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.200
laughs in Mumbai with my new friend Rusty and this
35
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.879
woman was thrilled to meet Ryan Seacrest. Search hashtag Conan
36
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.239
O'Brien must go on your social media's if you want
37
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.400
to see those. Bill Maher was on his podcast. The
38
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.920
guest was Patton Oswaltz. Bill Maher explains to Patton oswalt
39
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.079
While Bill Moore no longer tours doing up comedy, he said,
40
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.239
I felt like it was a great choice because I
41
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.640
don't want to be out there in this country, in
42
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.920
this political atmosphere. I could get shot by the left
43
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.680
or right. I mean, it's just not a good time
44
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.360
to be out there. Marris pointed out that he released
45
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.599
his thirteenth HBO special earlier this year, was called Bill
46
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.159
Maher as anyone else seeing this, and he said, I
47
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.800
feel like that's a good body of work. I felt
48
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.759
like they basically got better as they went along, and
49
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.280
I feel like the last one was the best one,
50
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.560
which is a good way to get off. Some other
51
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.599
factors that Bill said contributed to his decision was getting
52
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.159
tired of the travel, obviously, and getting tired of being
53
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.919
twice as funny as people who were selling twice as
54
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.960
many tickets as me. He said, part of that is
55
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.840
because I'm on TV every week, not that I didn't
56
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.800
sell a lot of tickets. You know, do great theaters,
57
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.199
but I didn't sell arenas and some people did, and
58
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.080
frankly they aren't that great. But you know, when the
59
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.919
audience is thirty five to forty five. They don't want
60
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.479
to see somebody seventy. Pat Oswalt released an audio special
61
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.520
last week on Audible, this one called Black Coffee and
62
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.240
Ice Water. It opens up with Patten reading a fake
63
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.919
disclaimer about how he's gone full Mega in an attempt
64
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.960
to avoid the hand of Donald Trump. The Last Lafe
65
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.879
Vulture says it's a funny bit that also underscores Patton
66
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.159
Oswald's fears about being outspokenly anti fascist in twenty twenty
67
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.759
five America. It's very simple, Patton, just don't watch Hulu.
68
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.840
Go upstairs and get the scrubs DVDs. Very simple. You
69
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.159
didn't need to watch the bashion of Manascalco's special. You
70
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:17.879
didn't think it was going to be funny, did you? No?
71
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.199
Come on? Patten told The Last Laugh about doing an
72
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.240
audio special. I love the idea of getting to go
73
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.000
old school again. Then I loved it even more when
74
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.479
I was ten minutes in recording the set and realized, oh,
75
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.000
I'm not on camera right now. This is just me
76
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.879
talking and the audience responding. It's very real, and it's immediate,
77
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.560
and it was so immediately freeing. I felt fantastic. As
78
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.639
for the new cycles, Patton said, whatever horrible thing happens
79
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.120
usually will happened for a week, and then they'll move
80
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.800
on to whatever the next horrible thing is that they
81
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.919
want to do. Our only advantage is hopefully we can
82
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.199
outcreate them and outpivot them, because they seem to have
83
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.919
no object permanence. Weird Al announced that his tour, Bigger
84
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.759
and Weirder will continue into twenty twenty six and additional
85
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:59.759
ninety stops through North America, including cities such as Chicago, Boston, Vegas, Austin, KC, Milwaukee,
86
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.520
and more. Jim Brewer announced his tour, It's the Fine,
87
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.719
the Funny Tour. The tour launches February nineteenth at the
88
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.599
Sunrise Theater at Fort Pierce, Sick Jim's current resume. According
89
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.400
to this piece, a Long Island native. Strong Island, Brewer
90
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.800
honed his craft on New York's comedy circuit before breaking
91
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.879
out as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. See
92
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.000
I said all the syllables that time? Did I mention?
93
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.839
I think I mentioned this in the Facebook group. One
94
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.279
of my favorite things about the Eddie Murphy documentary was
95
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.120
hearing Eddie Murphy say the first word of SNL the
96
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.279
same way I do and the same way that Jim
97
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.319
Brewer does. It must be a Queen's Long Island thing,
98
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.639
because if you pay attention to Eddie saying Sad Night
99
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.439
Live the way I do, Saatenite Live or sometimes Saturday
100
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.279
Night Live, definitely not Saturday Night Live, Saturday Live. I
101
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.959
loved it. After SNL, Jim Brewer went out to star
102
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.519
in the Colt Stoner comedy Half Baked, which also features
103
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.600
Dave Schapelle and appears in films including Zookeeper, Beer League,
104
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.279
titan Ae, among others. Brewer most recently released the YouTube
105
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.240
special country Boy Will Survive as Other specials include Hardcore,
106
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.199
Let's Clear the Air, and Laughter for All I'm Behind
107
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.240
on my Jim Brewer YouTube specials. Apparently, bill Board asked
108
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.519
comedian Josh Johnson if he's ever been confused with NFL
109
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.160
player Josh Johnson. Have you guys ever met or talked?
110
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.800
Comedian Josh Johnson said no, We've never run into each other.
111
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.959
Then they asked Josh Johnson, have you ever had a
112
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.199
politician supporter coming you for something you said on your
113
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.040
show or in your act? Comedian Josh Johnson said no,
114
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.800
I try to be fair in my assessments of people.
115
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.560
Even if there are people I don't really like, I
116
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.240
can still acknowledge when they did a thing for the
117
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.839
collective good or made a smart political play, even when
118
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.720
it's something that I considered to be terrible propaganda. I
119
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.759
do my best to give kudos when they're deserved. You
120
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.560
have a better political understanding if you can be as
121
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.040
close to objective as your political leanings will allow. I'd
122
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:40.839
talk about everything, and if I see something that doesn't
123
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.360
hold water, I'll say so even if I like that person.
124
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.360
Josh got a little philosophical and said, if you stay
125
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.240
in the big arc of history and how politics works,
126
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.040
you can see that there's precedent. We already had a
127
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.319
guilded age. So there's already a playbook on how people
128
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.839
combatd the robber baron era. But there's also a playbook
129
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.319
for the robber barons to get and consolidate power. So
130
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.759
many of these things are bigger than any one political figure,
131
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.720
and the last much longer than any one person's political career.
132
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.600
Josh Johnson, comedian, Are you optimistic about where a country's headed?
133
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.439
Comedian Josh Johnson said, I always leaned toward optimism because
134
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.839
that's the best way for me to live. But I'm
135
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.240
not ever going to poop poo the idea that things
136
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.040
get worse than you can imagine. I do think with
137
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.279
optimism and hard work, they'll turn out better than someone
138
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.680
could have projected. Pure Wow asked Nicki Glazer about her
139
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.800
upcoming Golden Globes monologue. They were curious, when you're writing
140
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.319
such a thing, are you rewriting right up until showtime?
141
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.040
Nickki said yes, I rewrite until the very last minute.
142
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.920
For my monologue last year, I decided to do my
143
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.040
closing joke in the moment on live TV. It wasn't
144
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.759
even in the teleprompter. The closer I had in the
145
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.639
teleprompter didn't get the pop I wanted, so I just
146
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.000
winged it and reached for a joke that I had
147
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.600
previously memorized as a possible closer. Thank god, I had
148
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.519
rehearsed it enough that I hadn't memorized. It was a wordy
149
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.000
joke too. Kevin Nelan was on Ted Danson's podcast. Neilan
150
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.000
talked about the preparation it took to get a fake
151
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.639
chin applied for his imitation of the worst person who
152
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.639
Ever lived Jay Leno, you know that guy with the
153
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.000
charity work in the opinions about L Night TV. Yeah,
154
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.399
the worst. According to Neilan, the makeup artist had to
155
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.759
cover him in thick plaster that left him unable to
156
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.360
breathe through anything other than two straws that was stuck
157
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.560
into his nostrils. He called it a life mask or
158
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.000
a death mask. Nelon said, I never thought it'd be
159
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.959
a problem. Then it starts to get warm and it's hardening,
160
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.240
and you're thinking, oh my god, all that's open is
161
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.079
my nostrils. If those close up, I'll suffocate. Can you
162
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.199
imagine the headline SNL comedian dies of suffocation impersonating Jay Leno.
163
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.720
Nelan said he started to get panicky and I remember
164
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.439
being about to pass out. Next thing he knew he
165
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.839
was being administered smelling salts. Tracy Morgan spoke to people
166
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.279
about his new Paramount plus titcom Crutch. Tracy plays Francois
167
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.319
Frank Kretchfield. Tracy said, it's one hundred percent of me
168
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.439
because I'm just mimicking my dad. My older brother moved
169
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.759
back in with my father, and that was sort of
170
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.639
a battle, but a teachable moment. Maagine Simba moving back
171
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.519
in with Mufassa. Who's the lion king. My father had
172
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:49.879
to go about it in a graceful way. He let
173
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.879
my brother know that he was the lion king, and
174
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.160
I'm just mimicking that and from Business Insider. Before I
175
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.279
do the story, I'll remind you George Carlin once said,
176
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.360
it's a big club and you ain't in it. Business
177
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.720
Insider was at Baron Capitol's thirty second annual Investor Conference,
178
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.639
an event known for blending of financial presentations with high
179
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:13.000
profile entertainment. Attendance is exclusive. Shareholders must have at least
180
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.920
forty thousand dollars invested with the firm to get a seat.
181
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.600
Past conferences of featured people like the great traumatic actor
182
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.839
Adam Sandler well this year. Doors open at six thirty,
183
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.720
panels started at nine. Attendees were told to go to
184
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.240
one of three lunch venues, each hosting a different midday performance.
185
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.639
Those assigned to one particular theater received box lunches offering
186
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.960
salads or ham turkey or roast beef sandwiches. Who comes
187
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.480
out Sebastian Maniscalco, who opened by asking you ever performed
188
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.240
with the smell of ham sandwiches? Sebastian Maniscalco is hilarious
189
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.120
or should I say hilarious. That's your comedy news for today,
190
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:49.840
See you tomorrow.
