00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.320
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with today's
2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.560
daily comedy news and I'm gonna have to read slowly today.
3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.320
It's kind of a slow day, which is all right,
4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.000
it was really busy last week. Tonight is the fundraiser
5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.160
for those affected by the LA wildfires. Bill Burr and
6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.440
Shane Gillis are joining forces for a benefit comedy show. Shane,
7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.960
You're gonna hear a lot about Shane the next couple weeks.
8
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.759
He's in another bud Light commercial. In this one, he
9
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.960
teams up with post Malone. The commercial will air during
10
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.159
the Super Bowl. In the ad, we see post Malone
11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.000
and Shane Gillis dressed in patterned shirts and jean shorts.
12
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.280
They're standing on a porch. They ring a doorbell while
13
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.759
holding a case of bud Light. Shane is wearing a
14
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.520
bud Light cap and asks post Malone is this it?
15
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.920
While gazing into the camera. They then force a new cashphrase,
16
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.759
which is come on. So when your friends in a
17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.560
couple weeks are doing come on all the time, that's
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.880
what this is about. My sense it's going to get
19
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.760
really annoying really quickly. But anyway, I enjoy Shane Gillis,
20
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.560
I will continue to read slowly. Red and Black dot
21
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.319
Com caught up with Tom Sagora. Redinblack dot Com is
22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.480
a student website, so we won't follow them for asking
23
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.200
the very generic question, Hey, Tom Sigora, what inspired you
24
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.400
to get into comedy? Sogera said, I was a big
25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.760
fan of stand up. I liked laughing obviously, like making
26
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.040
people laugh. I thought I was in a comedy acting more,
27
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.359
but I kind of fell in a stand up. There
28
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.879
were early influences, you know, cosby Eddie Murphy, Carlin, Bob Newhart.
29
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.079
As you age, you start to consume more of it,
30
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.359
you know. I went to Robin Harrison, and I started
31
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.400
doing David Teal Chappelle and Luis c. K. Sigora is
32
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.120
ten years younger than I am. His influence is being
33
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.480
like Carlyn Newhart, Eddie Murphy. That just seems too old
34
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.719
for me, Like, yes, if you're me, but coming along
35
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.120
ten years later, I'd expect some more nineties comedians to
36
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.000
be in there. Red and Black ass Sigora if he
37
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.359
has a favorite bit or joke he wrote over the years.
38
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.480
Sigora said, I wouldn't say I have one. Usually when
39
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.040
you look back in your different hours, you have a
40
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:03.760
few things that stand out for each ower. They could
41
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.120
be your favorites for different reasons. I think the ones
42
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.400
you look back favorably on, for me at least, are
43
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.400
the ones where you take it from life and you
44
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.000
take it to the stage and talk about it and
45
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.719
build it into a strong bit. Tom what's your perspective
46
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.719
on how comedy has changed in the age of social media?
47
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.240
Segora has said, I mean, comedy's broader and more consumed
48
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.639
to different mediums than ever before. We've never seen anything
49
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.199
like this, So anyone can grab a phone and upload
50
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.159
any type of video and it's good and that the
51
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.639
truly talented will stand up. You'll notice them. And then
52
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.599
you're also bombarded with just obviously so many awful things.
53
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.719
But that's just kind of the nature of it. It's
54
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.080
like you have to deal with the bad to get
55
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.919
the good. With stand up, We've never had a more
56
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.400
popular error for stand up. We're literally in an unprecedented
57
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.919
golden age, and it's for sure because of accessibility and
58
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.919
the Internet, and some of that is social media too,
59
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.439
But you kind of have to remind people there's nothing
60
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.039
wrong with being great at it on social media. But
61
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.039
you're not in the same categories. People will get on stage.
62
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.080
If you want to get on stage, you've got to
63
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.240
do it. Sounds like mister Sigora is not a fan
64
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.280
of quote unquote TikTok comedians. That's what I'm reading there.
65
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.400
Scarlett Johansson would like her husband Colin Jost to sell
66
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.520
the Staten Island Ferry that Jost bought with Pete Davidson.
67
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.879
Scarlett was on The Today Show and said, if anybody
68
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.520
out there would like to start a GoFundMe for the
69
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.199
Staten Island Ferry, please be my guest. I don't know
70
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.479
if I'm speaking for the Staten Island Ferry or against it,
71
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.520
but help our family. Okay, this has now become a
72
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.840
telethon for support the Staten Island Ferry. Colin Jos said
73
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.639
to Scarlet, I hope you have a good thick pair
74
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.639
of gloves at home, because someday you're going to be
75
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.599
getting so many paper cuts from all the checks that
76
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.840
start rolling in from this ferry. It's gonna put food
77
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.280
on our table. Finally, Scarlet, if we sell it for
78
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.520
scrap metal, we could actually maybe, Jost, that's what you
79
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.400
need the gloves for. Handling the scrap metal. We'll see,
80
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.080
You'll all see. Congratulations to Jerry Seinfeld. He's been nominated
81
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.759
for Worst Actor by the Razzies. Apparently the folks at
82
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.400
Razzies didn't think that Pop Tarts movie was good. I
83
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.080
enjoyed it, but I guess I'm right in the demo wheelhouse.
84
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.319
I thought it was funny. Amy Schumer nominated for Worst
85
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.840
Supporting Actress for what Cracked dot com calls her unlikable
86
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.800
turn as breakfast mogul Marjorie Post. Seinfeld got a second
87
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.960
nomination for Worst Director. On Frosted got a nomination for
88
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.199
Worst Screen Combo. Nominated for any two unfunny comedic actors.
89
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.759
It's unclear to me which two unfunny comedic actors they mean.
90
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.360
Apparently Cracked did not like the Pop Tarts movie. Again,
91
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.240
I liked it. They went out of their way to
92
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.920
compile some reviews. Matt Zoler on Roger Deeber dot com
93
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.160
apparently had said it's not only a critic proof movie,
94
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.040
it's an artistry proof movie and an audience proof movie.
95
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.600
Richard Roper apparently said if there was a thing called
96
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.279
the IMDb Witness Protection Program where you could get your
97
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.399
name taken off the credits of a chick of the project.
98
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.879
This would be that project. Oh boy, Jerry's out on
99
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.079
tour with Jim Gaffigan. They're playing Canada and Tom Pop
100
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.519
is opening. That's a good show. When Tom Pop is
101
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.279
in the three slot, that's pretty good. The News Herald
102
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.800
asked Tom Pop about opening Tom's headliner at this point
103
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.519
in his career, and Tom said, we're all good friends,
104
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.199
and they asked if it'd come along and join them
105
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.800
for this little Canadian run. It's very cool to be
106
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.519
able to hang with your headlining friends that you never
107
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.199
get to hang o with when you're working. It's a
108
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.160
big part of why you do it. You normally are
109
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.040
all out on your own. Could follow up by the
110
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.600
News Herald who We're like, it's interesting there are some
111
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.040
veteran comedians whose egos, well deserved or not, would have
112
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.519
a hard time taking that opening gig. Papa said, I'm
113
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.360
successful enough for my ego doesn't get in the way.
114
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.040
I have my audience, but their audience is larger. They
115
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.879
both draw more than I do. That's just the reality.
116
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.199
So it's cool to be able to play a fifteen
117
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.160
thousand seed arena. I'm honest enough to know I can't
118
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.959
fill this fifteen thousand seed arena. But I just love
119
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.800
comedy and love those guys. It's the same when my
120
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.639
friends go out and open for Chappelle, or if they
121
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.720
go out and open for Bird Kreischer on his Crazy tour,
122
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.399
or all this stuff kind of ebbs and flows. I
123
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.000
think it's a blessing to be a comedian, and it's
124
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.680
a blessing to have friends that are doing so well.
125
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.319
You rarely let your ego get involved in show business,
126
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.079
especially if you want to be happy. That's good advice
127
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.319
from Tom p Opper right there. Truth be told, It's
128
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.480
more fun being in the club than it is an arena,
129
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.079
just as a personal feeling, the audience giving the feedback.
130
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.519
The arena's a little too big. You don't feel it,
131
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.000
you don't connect in the same way. You could do
132
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.560
a great show. But I love clubs and smaller theaters
133
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.920
just from a pure experience. I don't want to jump
134
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.439
on it, but I couldn't see going to see a
135
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.160
comedian in an arena. And the last laugh got up
136
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.079
with James Doomian. They point out that one of the
137
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.439
top comments on James's video is that Lorne Michael's not
138
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.519
hiring James is the biggest fumble in comedy history. James said,
139
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.240
who knows, Maybe that was Lorne Michael's drunken feeling guilty,
140
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.600
maybe as a secret YouTube comments page where he goes
141
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.839
to confess his regrets. Bad news for Patton Oswald, Patton,
142
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.439
I hope you're not hearing this from me. You are
143
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.360
no longer hosting the game show The One Percent Club.
144
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.959
It is getting a second season, but not with you.
145
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.480
For season two. Joel McHale takes over as the host.
146
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.879
Joel says, I'm one million percent excited to be partnering
147
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.079
with Fox to host The One Percent Club. I absolutely
148
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.360
love the show and love the gameplay to the ten
149
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.279
x and guarantee my hair, makeup, and wardrobe will look
150
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.360
great at least sixty eight percent of the time. But
151
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.759
now I have good news for Patton Oswald. Patton, you
152
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.920
have a different gig. You're apparently going to be on
153
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.639
Suits La. This is the spinoff of Suits People Got
154
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.079
Into Suits on Netflix. NBC has shared a trailer for
155
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.839
suits La. Some real actors portray themselves in the series.
156
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:03.000
Those actors include Patton Oswad and Brian Baumgartner, Kevin from
157
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.639
the office. He's gonna be on Suit's La. Why, I
158
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.240
don't know, Johnny Mac, Is it such a slow news
159
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.519
day that you're taking the headline from Newsweek? Is Joe
160
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.000
Rogan running for governor? Is it such a slow news
161
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.560
day that you're taking that seriously? Why? Yes, it is,
162
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.160
dear listener. Now, before I even do the story, do
163
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.759
you think Joe Rogan's running for governor of Texas? Of
164
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.079
course he's not. It's clickbait. But I clicked on it.
165
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.959
What did they write? All right? So apparently Joe Rogan's there.
166
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.600
He's hosting his podcast. He's talking to his guest, and
167
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.319
Joe says, many politicians are just actors who are ugly,
168
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.759
and they're like, well, I can't really make it in
169
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.480
show business, and I want a lot of attention. I
170
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.399
want to be a special person, so I'll do politics.
171
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.399
I'm good at b sing. Most people, you know, they're trusting, like, oh,
172
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.040
he's saying the right things. If you say the right things,
173
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.639
you know, abercadabra, and then the next thing you know,
174
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.959
you're an effing governor. Will Joe run for governor? No?
175
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.160
All right, he's made that clear. No, I'm not running
176
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.279
for nothing. I don't want to do nothing. That's a
177
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.199
double negative. Maybe he's trying to head FACUS. He wants
178
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.720
you to think he's not running for governor. But he
179
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.759
said I don't want to do nothing, which means he
180
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.199
wants to do something. He also said I'm not running
181
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.120
for nothing. Double negative. So maybe Joe Rokan is running
182
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.240
for governor. What do you think? Yeah, that's what Joe's doing.
183
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.800
He is trying to head FACUS, and then when he
184
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.560
runs for governor he'll say no, I said, I'm not
185
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.040
running for nothing. This has been out there since twenty
186
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.000
twenty five. Were you coming at me now? That's what
187
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.240
he's saying. Josephs I have the best job in the world.
188
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.839
I get to talk a crap with zero responsibilities. If
189
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.279
I get something wrong, I go listen. I'm a moron
190
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.319
while you're listening to me in the first place. I
191
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.639
have no desire in any way, shape or form to
192
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.360
have anything to do with anything involving politics. I don't
193
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.399
want to be in control of it. Sometimes I'm proud
194
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.679
of myself with this program. You know, it's pretty easy
195
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.759
when there's a ton of news. When I somehow can
196
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.919
make an episode out of nothing, and I'm doing that
197
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.080
right now. I am happy. Apparently there's a pee Wee
198
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.799
Hermann documentary this on HBO. Called from forty hours of
199
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.679
interviews and thousands of hours of archival footage, Mount Wolfe
200
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.279
has made a documentary pee Wee as Himself. The Hollywood
201
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.159
Reporter says, one of the many pleasures of peace Ue
202
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.519
as Himself is getting a sense of Paul Rubins as
203
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.759
a separate personality, even as the possibility never quite leaves
204
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.960
your mind that Paul Rubins, as featured in pee Wee
205
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.440
as Himself could be every bit as fabricated as pee
206
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.039
Wee Herman. Rubens filmed forty hours of any rus with
207
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.919
wolf That's a lot, and the impression conveyed by Peewee
208
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.240
as Himself is one of constant push and poll rights
209
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.600
The Hollywood Reporter. Part one is dominated by Paul Rubins
210
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.879
storytelling and reflections, though there were appearances by his sister
211
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.919
and friends from college and some people from the groundlings.
212
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.960
The second episode picks up with Pee Wee's playhouse. The
213
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.120
hollod Reporter says Rubens is candidate and perhaps regretful about
214
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.039
some of his controlling behavior on the show and its
215
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.840
eventual demise. I'm sure people will enjoy that. Pee wee Herman,
216
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.679
and none of that was ever really my thing. I'm
217
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.559
not anti, but not my thing, But I'm sure people
218
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.960
will enjoy that. One. Sketch Fest is dark today, but
219
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.639
they have a pretty busy week tomorrow out in San Francisco.
220
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.120

229
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.480
Another way you can support the shows, you can go
230
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.919
to buy me a coffee dot com slash daily Comedy News. Now.
231
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.240
Normally I take your money and I get a large
232
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.120
iced coffee with caramel and milk, but boy, last week
233
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.960
it was so cold, I was doubling up. Now, I
234
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.879
always get a nice coffee because the iced coffee gets
235
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.759
me through the day. But most days. Last week I
236
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.440
doubled up and got a hot coffee, which is that's
237
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.559
not Johnny Mac. Johnny Mack usually doesn't do hot, he
238
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.519
does iced, but I needed to warm up in the morning.
239
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.000
And Friday, I treated myself to a hot chocolate, which
