Shane Gillis to Host Live Kevin Hart Roast, Lion King Composer Lawsuit, and SNL UK Debut Reactions

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Netflix Is a Joke Festival’s closing-night “Roast of Kevin Hart,” hosted by Shane Gillis, airing live on Netflix May 10 from the Kia Forum in LA, and speculates on likely roasters. He recounts a story in which Hart intervened in a brewing Logan Paul–Rob Gronkowski feud that stemmed from comments by Tom Brady. The composer-performer of The Lion King’s “Circle of Life” chant, Lebo M, sues Zimbabwe comedian Learnmore Jonasi for $27 million over a viral podcast joke he says distorts the chant’s meaning and has led to harassment and fears about his Disney relationship. Mac notes barbs traded between Elon Musk and Jon Stewart, plugs Pete Holmes’ YouTube special “Silly, Silly Fun Boy,” reviews delayed Peacock availability and early reactions to SNL UK, and mentions Germany’s “Neo Social Club” and Shelly Belly’s debut special “Don’t You Judge Me.”

and Johnny Mack likes fights. But before we even get

8
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.719
to the fights, we'll start with some big news. The

9
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.280
Roast of Kevin Hart will be part of the Netflix

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.240

I have your attention? Yeah? Live on Netflix eight pm

12
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.759
Eastern and Sunday, May tenth. That's in La, So five

13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.240
La time. Thinking about going out there, But if I

14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.640
go out there, I also want to see Flight of

15
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.280
the Concords, which is the exact same time. Plus the

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.679
airports are a mess, I might just stay home. I Digress,

17
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.880
hosted by Shane Gillis. May tenth is the final night

18
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.399
of the Netflix As a Joke Festival. It'll be the

19
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.640
Kia Forum in l and the's a lot of heavy

20
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.359
hitters in town for the festival. Plus it's La to

21
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.640
begin with. I can't imagine somebody like Nicky Glazer won't

22
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.799
do it or Tony Hinchcliff again, It'll probably be the

23
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.079
same people. And I'll remind you at the roast of

24
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.400
Tom Brady, Kevin Hart was really good. So when he

25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.519
gets his shot, he's going to bring it back. I'm

26
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.799
really looking forward to that. That's May tenth. Meanwhile, and

27
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.120
this story's ridiculous. Kevin Hart had to break up a

28
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.959
fight between Logan Paul and Rob Gronkowski. Now, before we

29
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.319
get into the story, just picture the sizes of those

30
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.719
three gentlemen. You see. A few weeks back, Logan Paul

31
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.719
was getting into it with Tom Brady. Tom Brady had

32
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.640
questioned the Logan Paul's athleticism compared to the top NFL players.

33
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.760
Tom Brady called Logan Paul's stuff cute, but stated football

34
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.159
is real competition. Then a few days after that, Tom

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.000
Brady escalated things. Brady was talking with Rob Gronkowski and

36
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.920
called Logan Paul the B word, which I assume rhymes

37
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.040
with which Gronkowski said, if Logan Paul wants a piece

38
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.879
of me, I'm down throw it down on the field

39
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:03.319
at the flag footballing. I'll whoop his bleep logan Paul said,

40
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.560
I'm gonna beat your bleep, and then I'm gonna beat

41
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.919
all your brothers bleep. Kevin Hart had to step in

42
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.120
and urge the two to save it for the field

43
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:17.400
team USA Football forty three, NFL Guys sixteen. Meanwhile, this

44
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.560
story is cracking me up. Have you seen the Lion King? Well,

45
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.560
the composer and performer of the iconic chant in the

46
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.319
Circle of Life from The Lion King is suing a

47
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.919
comedian over a viral podcast comment about the song. You see.

48
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.039
Zimbabwe comedian learn More Johnnesy was on the one fifty

49
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.719
four Africa podcast and made a joke about the song

50
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:40.599
Let's listen.

51
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.080
Yeah, I gotta another thing though, the thing about the

52
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:43.680
Lion King.

53
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.319
Man, Okay, what would do the Lion King thing?

54
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.680
Ready? What up?

55
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:54.719
And you do it propably?

56
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.120
I don't think he's doing it right righty?

57
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:04.960
No? Now this was a very wow. Now what does

58
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.360
it mean?

59
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.439
What is it? What do they actually say? Is is

60
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:07.680
it me?

61
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:17.319
No? There's a liad? Oh my god. Now. Libo m

62
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.400
wrote the chant and performed it in both the ninety

63
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.319
four original Line King movie and the twenty nineteen remake.

64
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.439
In the lawsuit, Libo said the chant is a form

65
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.639
of royal parize that relies on metaphors, and the true

66
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.000
translation is all hail the King, We all bow in

67
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.280
the presence of the King, not look there's a lion,

68
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.840
Oh my God. The legal complaint says, look there's a lion,

69
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.439
Oh my God is not a simplified translation. It is

70
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.240
a fabricated, trivializing distortion meant as a sick joke for

71
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.319
unlawful self profit and destruction of the imaginative and artistic

72
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.680
work of Libo M. The lawsuit is asking for twenty

73
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.800
seven million dollars in damages from that joke. The belief

74
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.719
is that the joke could affect Libo M's longtime relationship

75
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.120
with Libo says he now quote fears for his life

76
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.000
due to xenophobic comments and claims he's been confronted in

77
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.520
bombardment with comments about the podcast clip. Further reporting says

78
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.039
that Libo stated in a video on March fourth on

79
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.879
Instagram that he had messaged the comedian about his concerns,

80
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.360
but the comedian brushed him off and said he's been

81
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.000
doing the same joke for eight years. It did not

82
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.720
plan to stop. In the video. Libo apparently says, I

83
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.720
did try and engage this young man and he was

84
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.240
so arrogant. Meanwhile, Elon Musk and John Stewart treated Barb's

85
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.519
on social media. John Stewart on The Daily Show apparently

86
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.360
said that Elon Musk has pushed this idea that undocumented

87
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.839
non citizen voting is rampant. It is sowing the seeds

88
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.839
of our destruction and we cannot do it. The irony

89
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.399
of it all is because this guy's platform, this guy's algorithm,

90
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.680
which he's in charge of, He's a far more relevant

91
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.959
actor and the warping of our democracy through his money

92
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.879
and his algorithm than any measure of undocumented non citizen

93
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.639
voting will ever be. Stuart continued, what his argument, and

94
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.399
I think his people's argument would be is now that

95
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.519
we're getting uncensored material, now that First Amendment has primacy.

96
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.680
People moved to the right because they learn the truth.

97
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.000
But the truth is that algorithm incentivizes the misinformation from

98
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.399
the right, and he designs it. Elon Musk responded and wrote,

99
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.879
John Stewart is an extremely skilled propagandist disguised as a

100
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.959
truth tiller. Stuart fired back, writing that Musk is quote

101
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.199
an extremely skilled propagandist. Elon responded to that, writing not

102
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.519
as good as you. Stop being so humble. Pete Holmes

103
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.079
special is out today on YouTube. It is called Silly

104
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.360
Silly Fun Boy. I have seen it liked it a lot.

105
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.600
Pete was a guest on this program about three weeks ago.

106
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:33.800
You should watch it. It'll be on the eight hundred

107
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.160
pound Grilla YouTube channel at eight eastern today. In the special,

108
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.560
Pete Holmes delivers fresh takes on parenting, marriage and more.

109
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.439
Pete was on the Upworthy podcast and shared three words

110
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.759
that have been a game changer in how he views life.

111
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.160
Host Dan Harris asked about his mantra yes, yes, thank you,

112
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.120
and Pete Holmes corrected him, saying it's only three words.

113
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.279
It's yes, thank you. When you were yes there, Pete

114
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.759
explained the concept. I've heard really good teachers say, if

115
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.120
you can really just say yes to what is, that's

116
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.399
all you need, just really short circuits your brain. If

117
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.160
you say yes thank you to it, and I mean

118
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.720
almost instantly, flight is delayed. Yes, thank you. It's so weird.

119
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.120
That's why it works. Everything attraction and a version, right,

120
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.879
So a version is just charging it all with this

121
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.480
push like a basketball underwater. You're giving it all the energy.

122
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.519
When you just go yeah, it's as if it's what

123
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.639
you wanted. Then you realize you're at an airport. You'll

124
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.480
be in an hour later. Pete had this discussion before

125
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.480
this weekend. I'd be curious to see how Pete feels

126
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.680
about a six hour TSA line. Pete said, you'll be

127
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.160
in an hour later. It could just be a clean

128
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.199
breath and a recognition that you're alive. Maybe you see

129
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.120
the sun coming through the window, and maybe you're realize

130
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.199
that people used to die and covered wagons on the journey.

131
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.480
You're about to take it four hours, But it can

132
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.959
really be way less than that. Really not debating with

133
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.120
the bad feeling, just saying yes, thank you to it.

134
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.360
That's been one of the most powerful things in my life.

135
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.839
He does have a point there. When I went to

136
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.120
Australia and my kids were like, oh, the flight's really long.

137
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.439
I'm like, it used to take seventy four days to

138
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.079
get to Australia. I looked up the number with some

139
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.000
number like seventy something, So yes, Pete Holmes is correct.

140
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.879
Did you watch Saturday Night Live UK? Now a lot

141
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.399
of us were excited about it, and Peacock had been like, yeah,

142
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.920
it's going to be on next day, And by next

143
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.839
day they apparently met after nine pm Easter and Sunday night.

144
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.160
A lot of us got up on Sunday. We're like,

145
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.439
I'm going to watch this wasn't up. In the afternoon,

146
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.680
I was like, I'm going to watch this wasn't up.

147
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.160
So I finally went to YouTube. So I saw clips.

148
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.639
I've seen the opening sketch, Tina's monologue, a piece of

149
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.600
weekend Update which I'm going to play for you, and

150
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.759
a sketch about the Last Supper that I liked a

151
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.839
lot that had an awesome impression of Princess Diana that

152
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.519
I can't get enough of. So I haven't seen the

153
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.560
whole thing, and I definitely haven't seen it in order.

154
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.040
Thanks Peacock, You're gonna make me do bad things on

155
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.439
the internet next week. Tina Fey joked in her monologue,

156
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.639
why do a UK version of SNL? Well, like so

157
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.800
many large scale American operations these days, no one really

158
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.240
knows why. Great joke. The stage has more of a

159
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.839
bar aesthetic than the American version. The stage is also

160
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.040
positioned away where the audience is ceded to the left

161
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.160
and right of the host, not just in front of them.

162
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.920
In Weekend Update, they made fun of former Prince Andrew,

163
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.240
which was good content for me because I also write

164
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.040
for the Palace Intrigue podcast, where we cover the royal

165
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.959
family seven days a week, so I pulled this audio

166
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:08.639
let's listen.

167
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.399
Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's new home, Marsh Farm, had

168
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.800
been taking place over the last month, including the installation

169
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.680
of SkyTV, So if you're watching Andrew, Hello, you're not

170
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.800
gonna like this next bit. Also, I'm older than I look.

171
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.159
Andrew's new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after

172
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:42.000
the nearby marsh where his body will be found.

173
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.840
It was reported this week that the police investigation into

174
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.799
Andrew is set to widen. The big question now is

175
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.600
if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison,

176
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.240
will he be able to keep his mouth shut? I

177
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.879
hope not said his cellmate's penis.

178
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.799
We're now three weeks to the Iran War, which started

179
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.240
with the death of one Iya Toll Homony and the

180
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.799
appointment of another Iya Tolla Hominy Hominy too. But one's

181
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.279
dead now.

182
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.360
Friend of the show Jason Zinneman, he writes for The

183
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.279
New York Times, and wrote under the headline like stepping

184
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.840
into a well run Starbucks abroad, I love that. That

185
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.519
is a great description. Jason Ziinnaman, friend of the show,

186
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.240
Jay z writes, I found the promising debut of the

187
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.320
British spin off you relie familiar. I agree. I was

188
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.480
discussing with Mark, who hosts the Ballast Intrigued podcast. He

189
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.159
said that it needs to get more British, and I said,

190
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.759
I think they did the right thing. I think you

191
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.559
don't want to screw up episode one. You go right

192
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.759
down the middle. Tina fan knows how to do the show.

193
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.840
You do the basics, you do the monologue, two band sets,

194
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.399
weekend update, and he just hand in the homework. And

195
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.120
I think they delivered at least from the parts I saw.

196
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.720
And as time goes on, it can become its own thing.

197
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.679
See The Office versus the American Office for the opposite

198
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.759
example of that. Jason writes. You can detect Lorne Michael's

199
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.000
fingerprints in the more obscure conventions, such as celebrities in

200
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.279
the audience asking question of the host and Tinas monologo

201
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.919
as Michael Sarah and Graham Norton, and saving the most

202
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.039
subtle comedy for the pre tape bits and the edgiest

203
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.759
for weekend Update. From an American perspective, watching snl UK's

204
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.399
like stepping into a well run Starbucks in a foreign country,

205
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.200
comforting and recognizable, with the few departures from the norm magnified.

206
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.399
There was none more dramatic in this case than the

207
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.919
presence of cursing, which can be a crutchery useful comedic tool.

208
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.679
Tina Fat turns out can juice a joke with a

209
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.639
hard consonant. Yeah, some F bombs. I didn't like the

210
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.320
F bombs. I mean, I don't really care. I've been

211
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.240
known to use one or two, especially when driving. If

212
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.000
you've ever seen Dennis Moose to the Suburbs episode of

213
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.639
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I'm Dennis, Come on, he.

214
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.879
Han't seize the goddamn have.

215
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.200
People are so goddamn it efficient, God damnits variety roade. Thankfully,

216
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.639
snl UK largely took the basics of what makes the

217
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.679
US version successful sketch comedy, rotating guest hosts, and the

218
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.840
unpredictability of live television, and left the Brits to it,

219
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.720
but they say the weakest part of snl UK was

220
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.320
the snl port. Their commentary is that Tinfa was in

221
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.240
it so much. He has such a presence and had

222
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.679
so many lines that resulted in fewer opportunities for us

223
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.320
to get to know the new British players who are

224
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.879
the reason we're supposed to be tuning in in the

225
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.279
first place. They add, I think this gets to the

226
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.840
heart of an issue snl UK has, who is this for?

227
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.159
The set looks American, the pacing feels American, and the

228
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.000
fact that lasted seventy five minutes when British audiences usually

229
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.399
love their comedy no longer than sixty because we're tired

230
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.919
feels awfully American. At times, watching this like visiting a

231
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.360
branch of five Guys. It's fine, but it's not like

232
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.120
eating in America. If the show's just to celebrate a

233
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.559
US institution that a large proportion of BRITZ had never

234
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.840
tuned into and wallt apart from a few viral clips,

235
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.080
after the initial hype dies down, it'll fall flat in

236
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.039
its face. SNLUK has added two more episodes to the run,

237
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.200
so we'll get eight episodes, not six. Jimmie Dornan hosts

238
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.519
this week musical guest. Wolf allis currently the President of

239
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.519
the United States. Liked snl UK he posted the opening sketch.

240
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.080
In the sketch, the Prime Minister receives a call from

241
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.279
Trump and one up, cowering to the US President. Apparently

242
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.519
Trump like that he shared it on Truth Social. Meanwhile,

243
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.759
in Germany they're making their own version of After Midnight,

244
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.159
this one called Neo Social Club. Late Nighter tells us

245
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.679
Neo Social Club will look instantly familiar, almost eerily so.

246
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.039
This version hosted by Laura Larson, a podcaster and digital

247
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.799
creator not a stand up comic. Lawson dolls out points

248
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.840
not for correct answers, but for originality, rewarding the quickest,

249
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.399
funniest reactions over anything resembling accuracy. Neo Social Club is

250
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.840
a weekly show and runs at ten point fifteen pm.

251
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.679
Out today, A new special by Shelley Belly real name

Vimeo YouTube. She'll be part of the Nashville Comedy Festival

259
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.759
on April fifteenth. And that is your comedy news for today. Oh,

260
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:10.360
Comedy Survivor, boy I checked Leslie Jones might be in trouble.

261
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.759
So if you want Leslie Jones out, you can Pilon

262
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.279
And if you don't want Leslie Jones out, you might

263
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.639
want to get an alliance going because the anti Leslie

264
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.480
people were quick to get things going. Comedy Survivor, what

265
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.159
you do is you go to the Daily Comedy News

266
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.559
podcast group. There's a drawing of me in Otsco at

267
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.960
Costco who was voted off the island last week, And

268
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.519
in that thread there you write down the name of

269
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.000
one of the five remaining comedians and you see who

270
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.000
gets voted off Comedy Island. Voting continues until Thursday, all right,

271
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:37.600
see tomorrow
