Shane Gillis drops an F Bomb on Saturday Night Live

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac recaps Shane Gillis’ SNL appearance, including an on-air F-bomb, Mikey Day’s joke about it, and Gillis’ goodnights apology, while noting social media criticism of Gillis’ monologue about the gym, “gym gays,” women’s workout clothes, and a “gay or Hitler” hairline bit. He pivots to news that the Pentagon plans to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood mass shooter, then plays a profane George Carlin clip about televising capital punishment. The show covers CBS’s Comics Unleashed beating The Tonight Show in total viewers and the 18–49 demo, mentions Roy Wood Jr.’s Threads videos on royalties, and reports on Nikki Glaser’s Gator Growl set. Other items include a plug for the LINNET browser podcast studio beta, Roseanne Barr’s completed series Me-Maw, Jimmy Fallon’s MLB-themed baby books, Colin Jost’s series Six Bed One Bath, and Punkie Johnson’s special Long Titty, Short Story debuting Oct. 21 on Kevin Hart’s channel.

1
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:14.199
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mac with your daily

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.550
comedy news. Well, as expected, Shane Gillis made his mark

3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.289
on Saturday Night Live. Now, normally, I keep this podcast clean. Today,

4
00:00:22.589 --> 00:00:25.129
we're going to have some F-bombs because Shane Gillis dropped

5
00:00:25.170 --> 00:00:28.230
an F-bomb on Saturday Night Live. Here's the clip with

6
00:00:28.309 --> 00:00:30.929
the F-word in it. But he made like green eggs

7
00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:33.049
at hand. Bro, it's a non-starter.

8
00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:35.049
He told me, he said he doesn't fucking.

9
00:00:35.469 --> 00:00:36.460
Jeez, like a.

10
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.909
Oh, man. Thank you.

11
00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:44.250
Now, although Shane moved on, Mikey Day found some humor

12
00:00:44.289 --> 00:00:46.969
in it, adding dialogue, Zachary's the one who's going, I

13
00:00:47.009 --> 00:00:48.670
want you out of this house. You're a loser, and

14
00:00:48.689 --> 00:00:51.679
you said a bad word. Shane Gillis did apologize in

15
00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:52.259
the good nights.

16
00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:53.799
I thanks the road for Lydia.

17
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.219
And I'm sorry about earlier.

18
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.560
Thank you guys very much.

19
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.900
Have a good night. As I peruse social media on Sunday,

20
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.120
people did not seem to enjoy the monologue. I don't

21
00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:13.540
want to swim upstream. I find Shane funny, sorry. But

22
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.629
people did not. Deadline wrote, Gillis' opening monologue was a

23
00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:18.790
tight five about his Bud Light commercials and getting into

24
00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:21.409
shape with workout buddies Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn, during

25
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:23.250
which he put on his best femme voice to mimic

26
00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:26.230
Jim Gaze and complained that, quote, women just dress like

27
00:01:26.269 --> 00:01:29.060
whores now at the gym. Here is Shane Gillis getting

28
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.000
icy stares from a redheaded guitar lady in the band.

29
00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:33.769
I try to go to a public gym. Going to

30
00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:35.689
the public gym as a fat guy, especially in New York,

31
00:01:35.750 --> 00:01:38.079
is a nightmare, dude. Everyone's just the hottest gay guys

32
00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:40.859
you've ever seen. They're jacked and they look at me,

33
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.299
they're like, yeah, right. I know, dude. Also, I haven't

34
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:46.659
been to the gym in so long, I didn't know

35
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:51.480
women just dress like whores now. Look, I'm sorry, there's

36
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.170
no other way to describe. I say, have you seen it?

37
00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:57.099
I've seen it, the shorts. Have you seen the shorts?

38
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.319
Those neon, they're like the only, they're like artificial bait colored.

39
00:02:02.989 --> 00:02:08.030
The wrinkles go like around the cheeks and all combine

40
00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:12.990
at the butthole. And don't look. You're not allowed to look.

41
00:02:13.949 --> 00:02:16.569
For real, don't look because they are filming. I'm in

42
00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:18.580
the background of like 10 TikToks right now.

43
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:27.120
In the monologue, Shane commented on his hairlines, saying he's

44
00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:30.240
getting balded directly into an Adolf Hitler haircut, and the

45
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.870
only other option is looking gay, quoting Shane Gillis, that's it,

46
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.159
you're either gay or Hitler, and isn't that where we

47
00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:37.030
are as a country? Well, I will tell you where

48
00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:39.530
we are as a country. The Pentagon announced plans to

49
00:02:39.590 --> 00:02:43.870
livestream the execution of the Fort Hood mass shooter. The

50
00:02:43.909 --> 00:02:47.110
Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, said, we'll make sure that

51
00:02:47.150 --> 00:02:49.759
people are able to watch it, that it's public. Which

52
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.919
brings us to the great prophet of the 21st century.

53
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.500
His name was George Carlin. And the things George Carlin

54
00:02:56.539 --> 00:03:00.520
recorded have aged amazingly well. And we will have our

55
00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:03.849
second F-bomb of the day. Here is the great prophet

56
00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:04.650
George Carlin.

57
00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:07.750
Now, I don't care about capital punishment one way or

58
00:03:07.789 --> 00:03:10.120
another because I know it doesn't do anything. It doesn't

59
00:03:10.139 --> 00:03:12.879
do anything except maybe satisfy a kind of biblical need

60
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.300
for revenge. You know, if you read the Bible, you

61
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.120
see that it's full of retribution and revenge. So really,

62
00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.379
capital punishment is kind of a religious ritual. It's a

63
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.280
purification rite. It's a modern sacrament. And as long as

64
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.080
that's true, I say, let's liven it up a little.

65
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.000
I honestly believe if you make the death penalty a

66
00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:33.759
little more entertaining and learn to market it correctly, you

67
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.060
just might be able to raise enough money to balance

68
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.719
the stupid fucking budget.

69
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.639
The stupid fucking budget.

70
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.259
And don't forget, the polls show the American people want

71
00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:51.099
capital punishment and they want a balanced budget. And I

72
00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:53.500
think even in a fake democracy, people ought to get

73
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.400
what they want once in a while just to feed

74
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:00.159
this illusion that they're really in charge. Let's use capital

75
00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:02.389
punishment the same way we use sports and television in

76
00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:04.930
this country to distract people and take their minds off

77
00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:11.669
how bad they're being fucked by the upper 1%. Unfortunately, unfortunately,

78
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:14.310
Monday Night Football doesn't last long enough. What we really

79
00:04:14.349 --> 00:04:19.350
need is year-round capital punishment on TV every night with sponsors.

80
00:04:19.709 --> 00:04:22.360
Gotta have sponsors. I'm sure as long as we're killing people,

81
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:25.389
Marlboro Cigarettes and Dow Chemical would be proud to participate.

82
00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:27.540
Proud to participate.

83
00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:32.519
Holy cow, Jimmy Fallon, late-nighter reporting. For the first time

84
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.240
since taking over Colbert's slot, Comics Unleashed beat The Tonight Show.

85
00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:38.040
Wow.

86
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.480
CBS not even trying. So whether or not you thought

87
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.279
they were losing $ 40 million or this was about politics,

88
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.220
they're not losing $ 40 million now. They're beating The Tonight

89
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.110
Show without even trying. Late Nighter reports, the first of

90
00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:55.670
CBS's two back-to-back comics unleashed drew 1.073 million total viewers

91
00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:56.589
and 161,000 18-49s. The Tonight Show, 1.018, that is less

92
00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:58.509
than 1.073, in case you forgot the number I just said,

93
00:04:58.529 --> 00:05:10.819
and 128,000 in the 18-49s. Yikes! LateNighter points out, because

94
00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:14.779
CBS is actually airing two half-hours, it gives Comics Unleashed

95
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.019
a bit of an advantage, because late-night audiences decline as

96
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.199
the night goes on, meaning Fallon's midnight half-hour pulls down

97
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.720
the overall number. Still, however we're splitting things, there's a

98
00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:28.790
story here, Jimmy Fallon. LateNighter points out, among the 1849s,

99
00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:31.360
no caveat. The first, Comics Unleashed, got 161,000 viewers in

100
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:38.699
the demo. The second, 160. Fallon, 128 and 129. Guess

101
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:39.519
a thousand people.

102
00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:40.139
Switched at midnight?

103
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:45.589
LateNighter says it's probably because Tuesday marked the first time

104
00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:50.370
that Comics Unleashed had followed new episodes of NCIS, giving

105
00:05:50.449 --> 00:05:53.089
Alan a good lead-in for the first time since this

106
00:05:53.149 --> 00:05:56.790
all started happening. We will see. If you were on

107
00:05:56.910 --> 00:05:59.689
Threads on Saturday, I believe it was, I watched these

108
00:05:59.709 --> 00:06:03.269
clips Saturday night. Roy Wood Jr. posted six videos in

109
00:06:03.310 --> 00:06:06.610
a row, and they're quite long, where he discussed royalties.

110
00:06:07.230 --> 00:06:09.500
At a top level, I think Roy really nailed it.

111
00:06:09.629 --> 00:06:12.310
I could nitpick some of his thoughts on the programming

112
00:06:12.329 --> 00:06:14.529
of serious comedy at the time, but they would be

113
00:06:14.629 --> 00:06:17.050
minor nitpicks, so I'll just go, yep, watch Roy Wood.

114
00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:19.430
He knows what he's talking about, because watch Roy Wood Jr.

115
00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:21.829
He knows what he's talking about. You'll find that on Threads.

116
00:06:21.889 --> 00:06:24.740
It's too long to excerpt here. It's probably like 40

117
00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:26.660
minutes of videos. There are six different videos, but you'll

118
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.180
find that on threads. From Alligator.org, your home for comedy news,

119
00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:33.000
Nikki Glaser was at the Gator Growl. The Alligators wrote,

120
00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:35.399
Nikki Glaser's jokes range from the football team's recent loss

121
00:06:35.430 --> 00:06:37.649
to Missouri to state politics, where she teased that her

122
00:06:37.709 --> 00:06:51.769
heels mirrored those of Governor DeSantis. After about 10 minutes,

123
00:06:51.829 --> 00:06:54.430
she dived into her regular set, bantering about her personal life,

124
00:06:54.449 --> 00:06:57.129
celebrity culture, and the backlash she faced after her viral

125
00:06:57.189 --> 00:07:01.810
Tom Brady roost. What backlash? There was no backlash. Everybody

126
00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:04.490
said Nikki Glaser was great, and that started the whole

127
00:07:04.550 --> 00:07:07.439
Nikki Glaser mania. There's no backlash. What are you talking about?

128
00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:11.199
The Alligators say after dedicating her last five minutes to

129
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:14.540
a monologue about attending Taylor Swift's wedding, Glaser entered the

130
00:07:14.579 --> 00:07:19.500
show to a standing ovation. Did you go see Digger yet?

131
00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:22.750
Digger's a comedy. Tom Cruise. I don't want to say

132
00:07:22.810 --> 00:07:25.310
a thing about Digger. Here's what I want you to do.

133
00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:28.509
Go see Digger. Don't read a thing about Digger before

134
00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:31.329
you see it. Don't watch the trailers. Don't read Tom

135
00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:34.259
Cruise's social media. If you see anybody writing about Digger,

136
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:37.180
don't read it. Go to the theater tonight and see

137
00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:38.819
Digger and get back to me.

138
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:39.519
Digger.

139
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.220
Is the best picture, okay? Are you listening to me?

140
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.689
Digger is fantastic, and I'm not going to tell you

141
00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:46.810
a thing about it other than it stars Tom Cruise.

142
00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:49.889
Go see Digger. Collider asked Bill Burr when he goes

143
00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:52.050
to the theater, where does he like to sit? Burr said,

144
00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:53.769
the middle. The middle of the middle. I don't like

145
00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:56.209
going to the back. I like dead center. They were

146
00:07:56.269 --> 00:07:59.870
curious about Bill Burr doing an Alan Sorkin meeting. And

147
00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:02.180
they threw in this backhanded question. Hey, did you think

148
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.120
they were trying to reach a different Bill Burr? Burr said,

149
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.759
oh yeah, I thought the whole thing. I thought he

150
00:08:05.779 --> 00:08:07.779
wanted to pitch the movie to me. It was hilarious. Dude,

151
00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:10.139
you're Adam Sorkin. Like, I'd literally dust around a room

152
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.540
with no lines just to be in a movie with you.

153
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.759
But it's real. He's super humble. You wouldn't know he's

154
00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:16.430
a legend. He's really passionate. I love the guy. I

155
00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:18.810
love the guy. Couldn't have had a better time working

156
00:08:18.850 --> 00:08:20.449
on this. We've hung out a couple times. He's going

157
00:08:20.470 --> 00:08:22.189
through the attic. You know, I smoke cigars. He has

158
00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:23.879
the occasional cigarette. So we'd meet up and hang out

159
00:08:23.899 --> 00:08:25.660
and just talk about life and everything. He's just an awesome,

160
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.199
awesome guy. Collider was curious. Hey, Bill Burr, you are

161
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.370
known for your distinctive comedic voice and your timing, et cetera,

162
00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:35.779
et cetera. How did you deal with Sorkin Scripps? You

163
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.740
gotta hit the comma. What was it like adapting to

164
00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:39.840
his rhythm and structure? Burr said, you know, it's not

165
00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:41.039
like that. It's more like you're in a scene with

166
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.639
somebody else. You just listen to them and then react

167
00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:44.710
to what they're doing. So it's not like, hey, I'm so-and-so.

168
00:08:44.750 --> 00:08:46.750
It's not like music. This is seven and I'm not

169
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.080
in four. It's not like that. You just do it.

170
00:08:48.090 --> 00:08:49.750
It was like we're doing a play, it felt like.

171
00:08:49.990 --> 00:08:52.690
Chris Rock, after promoting his movie, he said, LA is

172
00:08:52.730 --> 00:08:55.669
a complicated place, man. Fame's a complicated thing. I've seen

173
00:08:55.690 --> 00:08:57.389
the switch in my lifetime. It used to be that

174
00:08:57.429 --> 00:08:59.429
everybody wanted to be great, a great singer, a great actor,

175
00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:01.970
a great comedian. Now it's just fame, and the greatness

176
00:09:02.029 --> 00:09:03.710
is almost assumed. I mean, you're always going to be

177
00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:05.250
outed at some point if you don't have the goods.

178
00:09:05.669 --> 00:09:06.049
But L.A.

179
00:09:06.090 --> 00:09:07.789
Is the mecca of that. It can be beautiful. It's

180
00:09:07.809 --> 00:09:09.769
got the best weather in the world. But it also

181
00:09:09.789 --> 00:09:12.379
attracts an underbelly that people want to pretend doesn't exist.

182
00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:16.340
Sounds like Chris Rock did not enjoy L.A. Sticking to movies,

183
00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.460
The Guardian asked, can Ali G, who is I, save

184
00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:23.830
character comedy cinema? They write, it seems very dubious that

185
00:09:23.870 --> 00:09:26.450
we are now regressing back not just five years, but

186
00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:28.590
25 years to bring back a character that was able

187
00:09:28.610 --> 00:09:31.379
to flourish. because there were no accurate portrayals of Black

188
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.860
Britishness on screen, but it would be a shock if

189
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.389
Baron Cohen wasn't wise to the current sensitivities. In 2020's

190
00:09:38.570 --> 00:09:42.230
Borat subsequent movie film, he mostly successfully updated the Kazakhstan

191
00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:44.950
reporter for the post-truth COVID era in times of Trump's U.S.

192
00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:48.120
His choice of target interviewees in Who Is I remains

193
00:09:48.129 --> 00:09:49.980
to be seen, but it would be surprising if he

194
00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:52.279
didn't pick up a few where he could opportunistically needle

195
00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:55.350
both woke and anti-woke camps. All right, I need some

196
00:09:55.389 --> 00:09:59.509
beta testers. We've got a new product. It is called Linnet, L-I-N-N-E-T.

197
00:09:59.570 --> 00:10:01.820
What's Linnet? Johnny Mac? Well, you use it to make

198
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.539
your own podcast. Here's what we want you to do.

199
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.940
We want you to go to linnetmedia.com. I'll spell it

200
00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:09.590
again at the end. Create an account, mess around with it,

201
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.210
break it, send my business partner Mark a note going,

202
00:10:12.250 --> 00:10:14.789
this thing sucks. It doesn't work. Here's what's not working.

203
00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:16.690
That's what we need right now. We need beta testers

204
00:10:16.730 --> 00:10:20.379
to break it, okay? Linit is a podcast studio that

00:10:27.210 --> 00:10:29.070
You don't have to know how to edit. You just go, hey, Linit,

209
00:10:29.190 --> 00:10:31.250

you to break it. Tell us. That's what a beta

213

test is for. Go to linnetmedia.com. That's L-I-N-N-E-T media.com. Linnetmedia.com.

214
00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:46.730
Hook it up. Play with it.

215
00:10:46.750 --> 00:10:47.669
Break it. Let us know.

216
00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:51.389
Roseanne Barr has wrapped production on an eight-episode family comedy

217
00:10:51.429 --> 00:10:56.490
called Meemaw. The series shot in Austin, Texas features plenty

218
00:10:56.529 --> 00:10:59.750
of comedy world notables, says Page Six, including Randy Quaid,

219
00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:03.330
my high school classmate, Drea DeMatteo. Fun fact, I was

220
00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:05.409
two years older than her, I think. Well, I'm still

221
00:11:05.509 --> 00:11:07.100
two years older. You know what I mean. We weren't

222
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.740
in the same class. We went to the same school.

223
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.940
Omar Gooding and Doug Jones, as well as guest appearances

224
00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:16.720
from John Lovitz and Tony Hinchcliffe. You just know the

225
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.659
mainstream media is going to give this thing good reviews.

226
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.570
They're going to go, Roseanne Barnes, Tony Hinchcliffe, A +. Yeah,

227
00:11:21.610 --> 00:11:24.159
that's what's going to happen. I could see the article

228
00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:26.809
on Vulture right now. They're going to love it. The

229
00:11:26.889 --> 00:11:30.529
poster for the comedy series Meemaw, a modern-day fable, features

230
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:32.850
an older woman in a fur coat holding a gun

231
00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:37.029
and a rooster against a rural background. Roseanne Barr says

232
00:11:37.090 --> 00:11:39.480
it's every bit as revolutionary as the Roseanne show, if

233
00:11:39.509 --> 00:11:41.320
not more, and my work has improved with time. I

234
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.179
want everybody who disagrees in a family to sit in

235
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.960
the same room and just laugh and go, yeah, maybe

236
00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:47.279
I was an a-hole at that time. Well, you weren't

237
00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:50.100
a-hole this time. Oh, we're all a-holes. Let's get a beer.

238
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.340
Roseanne Barr plays the matriarch of a mixed-race family of

239
00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.700
preppers in Texas who's on a quest to, quote, throw

240
00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:59.429
her granddaughter the most fantastic bat mitzvah Texas has ever seen.

241
00:12:00.149 --> 00:12:03.710
Jimmy Fallon, you know, the guy losing to CBS who's

242
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:07.190
not even trying? Come on, Jimmy. Wow, you can't even

243
00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:09.409
stand on the, well, the 18 to 49s are watching it.

244
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.980
Now they're standing on, well, we have 3 million viewers

245
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.220
on TikTok. That's nice. Does that pay the bills?

246
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:14.919
I hope so.

247
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.049
Because otherwise, here's a pitch to NBC. Let's just throw

248
00:12:19.090 --> 00:12:22.879
this dumb podcast on. I mean, how much worse could

249
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:27.809
you do? Definitely you could give me 1230. I'm sure 90,000

250
00:12:27.809 --> 00:12:29.669
people would stare at 888 in the basement, plus we

251
00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:32.870
could light it properly. Anyway, I digress. Jimmy Fallon announced

252
00:12:32.889 --> 00:12:35.720
he is partnering with Major League Baseball on two new books.

253
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.120
One book is called Your Baby's First Word Will Be Yankees. Now,

254
00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:41.940
between him announcing this and me recording this, the Yankees

255
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.399
were eliminated, so I'm not sure about that one. The

256
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.620
second book is called Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dodgers.

257
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.879
Jimmy Fallon, who is losing to Byron Allen, said parents

258
00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:53.769
spend months of their lives trying to get the babies

259
00:12:53.809 --> 00:12:57.340
to say mom or dada. Some parents dream bigger. Written

260
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.539
by Jimmy Fallon. The 32-page board books are set to

261
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:04.279
be released in February. Does it really take that long

262
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.179
to put these things out? Jimmy Fallon's got a whole

263
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.639
side business going here. He had a 2015 bestseller called

264
00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:13.120
Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada. Then he did

265
00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:15.720
one with Mama. Then a book called This Is Baby.

266
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.860
Nana Loves You More. Then Papa Doesn't Do Anything But

267
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.179
Love You. There's also Five More Sleeps Till Christmas and

268
00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:25.059
Five More Sleeps Till Halloween. And you wonder, how is

269
00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:27.899
he losing to Byron Allen? Colin Jost is working on

270
00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:30.879
a new comedy series, this one called Six Bed, One Bath.

271
00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:34.190
Six Bed, One Bath is six episodes following a group

272
00:13:34.230 --> 00:13:36.230
of roommates in their 20s who share an apartment with

273
00:13:36.289 --> 00:13:39.120
a man who has lived there since 1982. continue to

274
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.269
build new bedrooms every time his rent increased. Jost said,

275
00:13:42.330 --> 00:13:44.549
we found a new innovative way to do it outside

276
00:13:44.570 --> 00:13:47.110
of the normal studio system. We feel very lucky about

277
00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:49.289
how the cast and the crew came together. We're excited

278
00:13:49.309 --> 00:13:52.370
for everyone else to see it. I like it, Colin Jost,

279
00:13:52.389 --> 00:13:54.470
but I'm going to point out that when your wife

280
00:13:54.750 --> 00:13:57.879
is making Scarlett Johansson money because she's Scarlett Johansson, you

281
00:13:57.899 --> 00:13:59.980
can do things like buy a ferry and try and

282
00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:02.399
make a show outside the normal studio system. I'm not

283
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.620
saying he's bad. It's not quite nepo, baby. It's like

284
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:10.330
nepo husband. Yeah. Former SNL art Punky Johnson has announced

285
00:14:10.350 --> 00:14:14.289
that her debut stand-up special, Long Titty Short Story, will

286
00:14:14.309 --> 00:14:18.139
be on Kevin Hart's Heartbeat LOL stand-up YouTube channel October

287
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.600
21st in the special. Punky Johnson steps into the ring

288
00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:24.159
to reflect on her time at SNL, her complicated relationships

289
00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:27.309
with queerness, and her own questionable life choices. It is

290
00:14:27.350 --> 00:14:30.649
billed as a brutally honest and unfiltered hour about marriage, sex, drugs,

291
00:14:30.669 --> 00:14:32.350
and what can transpire when you pretend.

292
00:14:32.090 --> 00:14:32.429
To be normal.

293
00:14:34.070 --> 00:14:37.840
He'll also be available as a comedy album starting November 13th.

294
00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:40.220
Maybe not on Sebastian's channel, but you'd have to ask him.

295
00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:44.309
And available for pre-order on October 21st. And that is

296
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:46.970
your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.
