00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.039
Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news busy

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:13.759
one today, and get rid of the kids because the

4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.000
second story is just a little bit too naughty for

5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.079
their ears, know what I'm saying. Let's start with Saturday

6
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.000
Night Live and they're not messing around when they come

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
back on March first. Your host Shane gillis, Yeah, that's

8
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.399
pretty cool. Tate McCrae's your musical guest, and on March eighth,

9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.079
Lady Gaga will double up as host and musical guest.

10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.799
We saw as recently as Friday. How of course he's

11
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.759
musically talented, but also comedically talented, which is exciting. All right,

12
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:39.439
are the kids gone? Because I gotta tell you about

13
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.280
this Marlon Wayns feud sports Katia reports. The actor, comedian, writer,

14
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.640
and producer Marlon Wayans dropped an AI assisted country disc

15
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.240
track aimed at Soldier Boy. The rapper and record producer.

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.600
Marlon went on Insta on the fourteenth and posted what

17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.119
do you say about my Mama? We will get to that.

18
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.039
In the disc track, Marlin made some suggestions. I'm gonna

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.719
quite quite quite quite quite paraphrase here. I'm gonna use

20
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.560
some alternate language here. I'm reading the transcript from sports

21
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.519
Kidia of the lyrics of the disc track, and I'm

22
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:17.239
going to paraphrase them. And again, I'm not saying any

23
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.000
of these things about Soljia is true. I'm just telling

24
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.000
you what the distract says, paraphrasing from the disc track,

25
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.680
Soldier Boys on Kernak and meth. I can smell it

26
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.760
on his breath. Yes, he's on that Krif it's Kernak

27
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.840
and myth, then the next line is a suggestion that

28
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.439
Soljia would do a favor for a man in exchange

29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.599
for rock that is rhymed with He looked like flavor

30
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.719
Flave without the clock. Apparently, Marlon also doesn't like Soldier

31
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.400
Boy selling bitcoin, paraphrasing the lyrics, ain't rappin', just gaming

32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.879
and selling people crappy coins. He's a mess without a chest.

33
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.439
His only hit with Superman now he ain't got nothing left.

34
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.840
Twitter user kazin six commented, never argue with the comedian.

35
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.560
This apparently goes back to January. You see Soldier Boy

36
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.799
performed at the Crypto Ball in Washington, d C. Which

37
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.879
was a celebration of Donald Trump's presidential win. Marlin apparently

38
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.800
supported a different candidate and sold one oh one point

39
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.800
one the Whiz, I mean Soldier Boy. He even canceled.

40
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.159
Nobody cares about Soldier Boy, so Soldier Boy better go

41
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.319
out and get that check. He don't care. I think

42
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.400
they thought it was a bitcoin event. They found out

43
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.680
it was a ball for him, and it was too

44
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.719
late to pull out. But you know that's why you

45
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.479
got to check the fine print. Soldier Boy apparently didn't

46
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.680
appreciate the comments said on the Wiz. Soldier Boy tweeted,

47
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.719
and I'm paraphrasing here, I'll urinate on your mother's grave.

48
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.439
I'll dig your mom up and kill that B word again.

49
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.479
Last week, Soldier Boy made fun of Marlin's role as

50
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.000
an FBI agent in White Chicks, posting words like and

51
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.879
I'm paraphrasing here. I can't believe I'm marguing with a

52
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.400
fella that dressed up like a white B word. WTF

53
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.800
is wrong with me? Then Soljia wrote, and I'm quite

54
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:02.680
paraphrasing here. Ain't your son a transit that performs favors

55
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:08.120
at Marlon Wayans In his latest interview with TMZ, Morland

56
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.759
said that the rapper could join in the reboot of

57
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.080
Scary Movie as a crack and a meth head all

58
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.919
mixed together. He also made fun of Soldier Boy's teeth.

59
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.919
In a TMZ reel, Morland said, I need someone who

60
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.960
looks like a wet muppet. I want someone that looked

61
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.639
like they sell your car, rob you, and perform a

62
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.479
favor a man would enjoy, all at the same time

63
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.000
Soldier Boy. On February twelfth, Soldier Boy tweeted a Google

64
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.599
search Engine screenshot showing two twenty twenty three articles from

65
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.400
TMZ and Men's Journal about Marlon embracing his child's sexuality.

66
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.919
Soljier Boy captured his post something that I can't even bearaphrase,

67
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.280
but ended it with it's in your blood. Wayns responded,

68
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.120
if Soljier Boy had a career, he'd get canceled for

69
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.759
this type of slander. Luckily, he ain't been relevant since

70
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.599
two thousand and seven. Wayns posted a picture of Soldier

71
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.360
and wrote, Hey, Soldier Boy, my child had top surgery

72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.599
and still has more chest than you. Keep an eye

73
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.199
on that one. How's that for an open Today, Hulu

74
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.680
has released a trailer for the upcoming Company Special from

75
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.240
Chris de Stefano that'll be out on the twenty first,

76
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.599
just a few days from now, titled It's just Unfortunate,

77
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.719
Chris riffs on his three Puerto Rican kids his dad's

78
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.399
rudimentary understanding of Latin culture. I've got the clip here.

79
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.360
I'm gonna go first. I think this material is very

80
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.040
hack like, very Let's listen.

81
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.199
I found a beautiful Latino woman, and now I'm proud

82
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.519
to say I have three kids Puerto Rican. Three Puerto

83
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.360
Rican kids. If their names are Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria,

84
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.000
they have my daughters. But then I also have a

85
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.360
thirteen year old step son. All Right, I love my

86
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.120
step son. He's almost like my family. He sleeps right

87
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.240
there on my property. My girl she wants a guy

88
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.839
who knows how to build stuff. I don't know how

89
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.959
to build anything. I can build walls. Emotionally, there's the

90
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.199
thing about my father. My dad really is trying, okay,

91
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.560
but he's got a third grade education. He like to me.

92
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.399
I've been doing the research, and they don't throw sweet

93
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.560
sixteens in the Latina culture. I've been talking to my

94
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.000
friends down at the bodega, and they sold the ponies

95
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.879
for the girls at fifteen. They call them case.

96
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.519
It dis Chelsea Handler has a special coming out. It

97
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.399
is called The Feeling That One not till March twenty fifth,

98
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.120
that'll be on Netflix. Let's listen to a piece of it.

99
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.360
I've clipped it here to get rid of a naughty word.

100
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.399
I blame COVID for pickleball, right, we didn't have to

101
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.079
hear about pickleball before COVID.

102
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:35.759
Pickleball.

103
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.879
That is not a subject that I can take seriously.

104
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.920
When people bang on and on about pickle that is

105
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.319
not real exercise. Okay, so shut up about it.

106
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.519
Chelsea then goes on and says some more naughty words,

107
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.439
tagging it out. That's not real exercise. Okay, so shut

108
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.160
the f up about it. You'd burn more calories shoving

109
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.199
an actual pickle up somewhere on a pickleball court than

110
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.120
playing a game of pickleball very hard. The show Clean Lately,

111
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.720
Chelsea says, I stand by my comments about pickleball. I

112
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.879
also stand by my stories about Andrew Cuomo, George W. Bush,

113
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.079
and Bill Cosby. I shared lots of tea in this special,

114
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.079
just when I thought there was no more tea to spell.

115
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.519
March twenty fifth for that special. February twenty fifth. She

116
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.079
has a book coming out calling I'll have what she's having.

117
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.639
George Lopez's special came out yesterday. I find it really weird.

118
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.240
No press, like, no press at all. George didn't do

119
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.079
any press. That's weird, especially when a big comedy special

120
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.639
come out. I didn't see anything. I looked. Rosebud Baker

121
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.079
special came out. Rosebud did press for The La Times.

122
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.160
They asked her about the first two months of twenty

123
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.560
twenty five. Rosebud said, I feel like we were sober

124
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.639
and now we're shooting myth. Like when in the first

125
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.879
week shooting myth. Being at SNL as a writer taught

126
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.480
me to read the news and not have an emotional

127
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.560
reaction to it. It's like I've trained my brain to

128
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.839
read and think, Okay, what's funny about that. It's almost

129
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.600
like training herself to be a psychopath. The La Times

130
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.000
asked if she went into labor while taping these special

131
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.240
has two ports. Rosebud said that was actually all part

132
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.720
of the plan. I was pregnant and I knew I

133
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.240
wanted to shoot a special. It had been so long

134
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.759
since I shot Whiskey Fists, and I wanted to get

135
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.439
material out there. But I honestly didn't know if I

136
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.639
was fully ready. I've seen a lot of material from

137
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.439
pregnant people, but I've seen a lot of material about

138
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.480
what happens after, and I was really curious and mostly

139
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.120
anxious about what happens after because I wasn't even fully

140
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.079
convinced that I was doing the thing right. One day,

141
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.120
I was sitting at the Comedy Cellar talking to Ryan

142
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.000
Hamilton about it, and he was like, you should just

143
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.600
shoot some now and shoot them later and then put

144
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.720
it together. And I was like, why don't I do that?

145
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.319
Then I was like, what if I shot it the

146
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.160
same way, in the same place and the same color

147
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.240
outfit on the same stage, but one year later, and

148
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.079
I'd sort of just be reporting for the people, like

149
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.319
half journalism. Sam be apparently not happy with Lauren Michaels.

150
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.439
According to the book Lauren The Man who invented Saturday

151
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.959
Night Live. Lauren apparently said that Sam's style of comedy

152
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.839
is too strident and political for his show. Sam told

153
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.600
the Daily Beast podcast, I mean, literally, imagine calling anyone

154
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.680
strident when you've built a career out of elevating the

155
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.759
loudest guy in the room. Apparently, Lauren had said, it's

156
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.519
the hardest thing for me to explain to this generation

157
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.959
at the show nonpartisan. We have our biases, we have

158
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.800
our people we like better than others, but you can't

159
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.399
be Samantha Bee. He said, I get referenced in the

160
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.639
book as being someone that Michael's doesn't want to emulate

161
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.439
it anyway. I can see the point. He's right. I

162
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.360
am one sided, and I am stritent, proudly so. Mindy

163
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.519
kaaling As a comedy picked up for a series at Hulu.

164
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.600
It's called Not Suitable for Work, a comedy about young

165
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.800
professionals in New York. I feel like we've had one

166
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.319
or two of those not Suitable for Work. We'll follow

167
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.920
five work obsessed twenty somethings striving for professional success and,

168
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.759
if they have the time, personal happiness in Manhattan's most

169
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.879
glamorous neighborhood, Murray Hill. No cast yet. Let's see we're

170
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.399
getting along here. I'm gonna bounce a couple of things.

171
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.320
You get bounced. Take Nataro, We'll say for tomorrow. How

172
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.799
about John Oliver? Late Nighter points out that Max gave

173
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.159
in and they're putting last week Tonight clips back on

174
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.799
YouTube in olden times, they would post the main story

175
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.080
on YouTube on Mondays. There was a time I didn't

176
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.039
have HBO Max and that's how I would consume it.

177
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.360
They had stopped doing that and wouldn't release the clips

178
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.039
until Thursday. At that time, John Oliver's that he was

179
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.360
annoyed by the YouTube delay, calling it massively frustrating, and

180
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.960
added I was not happy with it at all. What

181
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.639
I love about having the show on YouTube is we

182
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.639
can reach beyond HBO subscribers. That feels really important to me.

183
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.159
I really really appreciate the fact that they do that.

184
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.919
I would rather they did it straight after the show

185
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.000
the way we've always done it, but I'm very grateful

186
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.519
they're willing to still do it at all. Well, it

187
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.559
is back on Mondays now, so that's good. Now, something

188
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.360
must be going on because Oliver, you know, he appeared

189
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:26.840
on The Daily Show last week. Now he went on

190
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.360
Colbert that combined with the clips coming out on Mondays again,

191
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.519
somebody seeing something. It's the metrics are down, or they're

192
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.799
noticing John Oliver's not in the national conversation as much

193
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.159
as he could be. Something is motivating a publicity campaign.

194
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.320
Really interesting anyway, Oliver was on Colbert Monday Night. Stephen said,

195
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.039
you're a recent citizen. How do you feel you're still

196
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.639
gonna stick it out? A You're gonna head back to England?

197
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.080
John said, oh no, I'm sticking it out. I'm going

198
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.399
down with the Titanic. I know there might be life

199
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.039
rafts available, but I'm tuning up. And they started to

200
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.600
play a fake violin. I don't know how surprised you

201
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.960
were about any of this. All of this was pretty

202
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.039
much foreseeable. Oliver encourages the recent protest. He pointed out

203
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.000
some twenty seventeen protests that sprung up after Trump signed

204
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.360
a Muslim travel band. Oliver said, you can send a message.

205
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.679
You don't have to wait to vote. It's valuable sending messages.

206
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.759
Even if that message is f this crap, It's sometimes

207
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.279
the strongest message to send. Boy, should I just record

208
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.240
tomorrow show? Now? I am bouncing sons of stuff. I

209
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.960
don't want these episodes to be too long. And you

210
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.840
know I've got some catchup stuff. Because we talked about

211
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.559
SNL for a lot of days. Say what can I

212
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.799
tell you about? Quickly? Will Arnett showed up The Comedy

213
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.399
Seller last week to do a stand up set, He

214
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.480
went on as Alex Novak, who really is Will Arnett?

215
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.000
Alex Novak, a newcomer to the comedy scene. Will worked

216
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:46.080
off notes people believe, possibly a script. During his set,

217
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.480
Will Arnett reportedly joked about his recent divorce. Arnett is

218
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.240
working on a film with Bradley Cooper directing. The film

219
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.720
was called Is This Thing On? The movie, which also

220
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.360
stars Sean Hayes and Lord Dern, reportedly features Bradley Cooper

221
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.600
in a supporting role with Will Arnett as a comedian

222
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.039
navigating divorce and a career change. So that would make

223
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.840
sense why he's working out such a set. Kevin neil

224
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.240
In was on two beers. I wanted to play this

225
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.200
yesterday but just didn't have enough time. He told a

226
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.120
story about Norm MacDonald to Burt Kreischer. A good story here,

227
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.759
Let's listen.

228
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.080
Nobody knew he was sick the last nine years, and

229
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.919
I would work with him, see him all different ways

230
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.480
to be bloated, and then he'd be thin from all

231
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.480
the medicine he was taken. People thought he was drunk,

232
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.879
but it was the medicine he was taken. In hindsight,

233
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.600
I realized that didn't tell anybody he told our manager,

234
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.559
Mark Ervitz, Oh really, and that's all and his son

235
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.519
and me and Donna he told Dana too, and THEFW

236
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:42.200
Downtown Yeah, and the Mason Club, the Mason and Girls,

237
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.720
Scott Trip twenty five. The people in Albania knew.

238
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.000
And I have not had an opportunity to share with

239
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.919
you that roy D Mercer passed away. Roy D Mercer

240
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.120
was longtime Tulsa radio host Brent Douglas. Douglas voiced Roydy

241
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.240
Mercer and used him in prank phone calls that used

242
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.440
to be a big thing. There were more than twenty

243
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.399
comedy albums of roy D Mercer prink calls between nineteen

244
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.840
ninety six and twenty thirteen. Brent Douglas voice of roy

245
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.519
D Mercer was sixty nine not your comedy news for today.

246
