Shane Gillis : what everyone gets wrong. Should Colin Jost host the Daily Show? Jon Stewart returns. Eric Idle throws Pyton nuke

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
Callaroga Shark Media. Well, the
Chiefs beat my niners high. I'm Johnny

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.919
Mack with your Daily Comedy News.
After the Super Bowl, Stephen Colbert was

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.679
live and he made this terrible,
horrible joke. He said, finally something

4
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.600
good happened for Taylor Swift. Wow, if Joe Coy said that, he'd

5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.000
be canceled. She's going to be
so mad. The big difference between the

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.679
Golden Globes and the NFL. On
the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camber

7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.920
shots of Taylor Swift. Colbert also
joked, have fun, Taylor, but

8
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.640
please make sure you have a designated
driver for your private jet. John Stewart

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.679
was the guest. Now The Daily
Show returned last night, and as I

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.280
put the show together on Monday,
I was like, oh, yeah,

11
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.520
February twelve, The Daily Show with
John Stewart is back. Despite them doing

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.159
Super Bowl ads, which I saw
with John Stewart, it it didn't register

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.280
in my brain at all that that
was last night and there wasn't really a

14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.280
lot of buzz heading into Monday night
on that. If I'm Comedy Central played

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.840
the big card. Now I gotta
be a little worried I'll recap tomorrow.

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.560
Whatever Stuart was talking about last night. Anyway, the appearance on Colbert was

17
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.840
pretty uneventful. On The Daily Show
podcast, John Stewart said, if you

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.799
want to be present in this world, you have to be present in this

19
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.280
conversation. You have to be as
relentless and tenacious as the counter narrative that's

20
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.519
being formed. So much of the
information that we see now is weaponized,

21
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.879
and he keeps taking exponential leaps.
It's not just the election, it's AI.

22
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.359
It's the way we've militarized our conflicts. I keep going. John John

23
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.840
Stewart is now sixty one years old. He hosted The Daily Show from nineteen

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.079
ninety nine to twenty fifteen. The
La Times wrote the world has changed,

25
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.120
of course, around late night shows, and they point out that Tonight Show

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.480
turns seventy this year. Until the
adoption of the VCR, late night television

27
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.319
was available only at night. I
remember when I got my first VCR.

28
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.439
I was so excited. I didn't
have to stay up to one thirty in

29
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.760
the morning to watch Letterman. It
was awesome. Late night TV was for

30
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.319
people who were happy to forego sleep, or couldn't sleep, or had nowhere

31
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.599
they had to be in the morning. You might not be ready for bed.

32
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.280
After Johnny Carson finished, he'd come
in from a club or a movie

33
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.359
or whatever and turn on the set
and there'd be Tom Snyder talking to Orson

34
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.400
Wells or Chris Elliot living under the
bleachers on Late Night with Letterman. The

35
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.159
later the start time, the less
the financial risk, and the more freedom

36
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.159
to play. Craig Ferguson's still celebrated
throughout the cards. Late Late Show was

37
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.879
constitutionally at twelve thirty AM. Show
would have worked at eleven thirty. And

38
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.960
the people remember Taylor Thomlinson as a
twelve thirty show. She showed up in

39
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.560
a few Super Bowl ads. I
mean she made a Taylor joke. I

40
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.759
guess it's just I don't know.
I'm not ripping Taylor. I just think

41
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.000
everybody going see her name is Taylor
and she's plowing. It's lame. Her

42
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.319
new Netflix special is out today.
It's called Have It All, filmed at

43
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.800
the Capitol One Hall Theater in Tyson's, Virginia. I guess that in the

44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.159
Daily Show will be my TV action. Tonight, Colin Jost is going to

45
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.560
host The White House Correspondents dinner,
great choice. He will be great at

46
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.479
that. The White House Correspondence Association
President Kelly O'Donnell said, Colin Jost knows

47
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.240
how to make Saturday Night's funny.
His sharp insids perfectly meet this remarkable time

48
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.240
of divided politics and a presidential campaign
careening towards a rematch. The two most

49
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.800
recent hosts were Roy Wood Junior and
Trevor Noah. You know, Jost would

50
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.319
be a good daily show host.
He's got the writing chops. You know,

51
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.240
Hey, Comedy Central, write that
one down, right, because after

52
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.719
Lauren does the fifty, that's going
to be the time to walk away from

53
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.080
messing out. Write that one down, Colin, you write that one down

54
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.840
too. That's a good gig for
you. It's in New York. You

55
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.520
don't have to move. Jost is
forty one. He could do it for

56
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.879
ten years. That's the move,
Colin Jost. Why didn't we think of

57
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.960
that earlier? Colin Joss sticks around
till Lauren's fiftieth, So that's that'll be

58
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.280
June of twenty five, and then
host the Daily Show. They just have

59
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.439
to muddle through for another year and
a half. Speaking of Saturday Night Live,

60
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.680
you know who's hosting this week Shane
Gillis. We're gonna be talking about

61
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.879
that all week. America Magazine gets
it their headline, comedian Shane Gillis doesn't

62
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.719
make a good first impression, but
it's worth sticking around. Great stuff by

63
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.319
America Magazine. They have watched Shane
and they get what he's doing, and

64
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.080
they write, Shane Gillis does not
make a good first impression. He looks

65
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.159
and sounds like every online scolds,
worst nightmare and out of shape white millennial

66
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.680
mail, casually throwing around offensive words, and most people have not outside of

67
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.680
a middle school playground since nineteen eighty
seven. And yet there's something more there.

68
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.199
While it might be difficult to stick
around for, that's something more than

69
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.439
shang Gilis has to say. I
would advise you to do so. They

70
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.080
right. It could be said that
Gillis is not for everyone, but in

71
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.399
a sense, he actually is.
Like all great comedians, Shane Gillis is

72
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.279
something important to say, the problem
is that you don't immediately realize he has

73
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.639
something substantive to say because you're also
squirming so much. Gillis's comedy is a

74
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.759
hybrid of cringe humor and bro culture. However, both wind up being subordinated

75
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.040
to the fiercely intelligent observational skills that
ultimately steer his comedic course is on stage.

76
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.959
Persona embodies the millennial bro. This
is a broad categorization for young white

77
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.079
males, usually distinguished by their enjoyment
of domestic beer and say bud light and

78
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.199
televised sports, being carelessly misogynistic and
lacking intellectual curiosity. Watching Gillis's stand up

79
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.360
back, it appears this VI's from
another time, and by that I mean

80
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.079
it's as though he was transported from
the nineteen eighties to the present day somehow

81
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.720
bypassing the advent and subsequent entrenchment of
language within mainstream cultural discourse. But if

82
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.519
you're only paying attention to the cosmetics
of the act, the bostering, and

83
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.160
the rhetoric, you will miss the
incredibly intelligent man and is incredibly astute commentary

84
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.199
on contemporary society. Watching a Gillis
show requires some work. He doesn't add

85
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.480
anything to you, continually makes you
evaluate exactly what he's doing up there in

86
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.639
question whether or not you should be
laughing. Should be a fun week.

87
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.839
TMZ caught up with Joe Ann You. Joanne is the executive director of the

88
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.839
Asian American Foundation. She tells TMZ
that Shane gillis hosting SNL's bad timing,

89
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.319
considering the Asian community has been devastated
by a wave of hate that started during

90
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.319
the COVID nineteen pandemic, but adds, if Shane's serious about making amends,

91
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.079
he should cut a check to the
organization's Hope against Hate campaign and join their

92
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.240
food tours for a real Asian cuisine
experience. She's planning to watch, but

93
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.399
not for Shane, but for what
she calls the Bow and Yang Variety Hour

94
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.560
at the Super Bowl. Shane was
invited up by Zach Bryan. Whiskey Riff

95
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.560
writes, the one and only Shane
Gillis bumbled his way on stage and somehow

96
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.720
looked like he was having a blast
and was completely uncomfortable at the same time,

97
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.120
but that didn't stop him from grabbing
the mic. Fun What do you

98
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.879
think this one's about? Matt Riich's
show in Memphis has been postponed due to

99
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.959
an unforeseen scheduling conflict. His show
for Friday has been moved to June twelfth.

100
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.279
Does that mean he got a better
paying gig? What's going on there?

101
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.199
Master Brownie's got a new album.
It's called The Birds and the Bees.

102
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.879
Hopefully you've had a chance to catch
up on Mark Maron's wonderful interview with

103
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:27.319
John Oliver. I loved the way
John made fun of Mark here. I

104
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.720
had to rip out a lot of
f bombs here. But this is a

105
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.079
lot of fun. It's all this
sort of they want to be worked up.

106
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:40.040
It's all this general grievances, just
this broad grievance ideology. And this

107
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.120
guy seems mad. You're completely about
grievance. They'll be a hype pipe of

108
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.720
grievance. No, you'll the shining
angry city on a hill. I think

109
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:58.199
that I am a completely objective narrator
American comedy A little quiet off the super

110
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.279
Bowl Shortle has three things that I
want to talk about today. The first,

111
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.279
Eric Idol saying he has no money
on social media. Eric, who's

112
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.959
eighty, said, I don't know
why people always assume we're loaded. Python

113
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.000
is a disaster. Spamalot made money
twenty years ago. I have to work

114
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.240
for my living. Not easy at
this age. All right, maybe he

115
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.240
didn't make money on the TV show. You should have made some money on

116
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.160
those movies. No, and spamalat
you should have made some money. I

117
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.439
guess not. Eric says, I
think the series problem or the Spotify's on

118
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.360
the youtubes copyright ain't worth jack stuff
anymore. We own everything we ever made

119
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.720
in Python, and I never dreamed
at this age the income streams would tail

120
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.000
off so disastrously. But I guess
if you put a Gilliam child in as

121
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.000
your manager, you shouldn't be surprised. One Gillium is bad enough. Two

122
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.120
can take out any company. Ouch. I guess we won't be seeing a

123
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.639
Python reunion anytime soon. One fan
suggested a comeback, Idol said no thanks,

124
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.800
I'm doing no more Python. I
gave already ungrateful bastards. Wow.

125
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.959
Another suggested a Netflix documentary, and
he said, f Netflix and f documentaries

126
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.680
wow. Idle pointed out he hasn't
seen John Clees for said years. One

127
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.399
fan said that makes me sad.
Idle responded, why makes me happy?

128
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.120
I still love and I'm proud of
what we did as Python. It was

129
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.240
a very unique group. Can't be
very unique, Eric, I think of

130
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.160
us as an ex Liverpool team.
We played together well way back in the

131
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.560
day, but it was never very
supportive of people's feelings and emotions, not

132
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.560
brothers colleagues. Apparently the Gilliam child
is Holly Gilliam, who took over the

133
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.600
Python brand in twenty fourteen and co
produced that year's reunion show. I worked

134
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.600
with the guys. Was it their
fortieth anniversary? We did a pop up

135
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.759
station for I don't know if we
had merged yet Serious or Series XM,

136
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.440
but that makes sense. Sixty nine
and forties two thousand and nine, Yeah,

137
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.120
all right, for Serius XM.
That's probably when that was give or

138
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.360
take. So in the past,
John Clees was the voice of God in

139
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.480
Spam a lot on the show toward
the UK in twenty eleven. Then Idle

140
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.679
said I fired John Clees, surgically
removed him. It wasn't me, and

141
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.559
he's had millions of dollars from me. He charges people of fortune fusing his

142
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.759
voice. He's always been in financial
crisis. In response to that, Cleise

143
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.559
wrote, I see Yoko Idols been
moaning again about the royalties he had to

144
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.440
pay the other Pythons for spam a
loot. Apparently he paid me millions actual

145
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.399
rough figures. Last time we checked, Yoko Idol thirteen million dollars Michael Palin

146
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.360
one point one million, the others
just under a million each, So back

147
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.039
to the beginning, Eric wyould assume
you're loaded? Is if you got thirteen

148
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.000
million dollars from spam A lot.
Yeah. Lily Idol is Eric's daughter,

149
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.559
and she jumped on Twitter and said, I'm so proud of my dad for

150
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.360
finally starting to share the truth.
He's always set up to bullies and narcissists

151
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.879
and absolutely deserves reassurance and validation for
doing so. Also from chort Ole,

Comedian Paul Curry has been accused of
inciting anti Semitic chants against audience members during

155
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.960
his comedy show at London Soho Theater. Apparently, Curry took out a Palestinian

156
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.120
flag during his show. At the
end of the show, the comic,

157
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.639
according to Turtle Quote, orchestrated his
own standing of ation. At the end,

158
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.440
Curry spotted one man or remain in
a seat and asked him why didn't

159
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.679
stand? Didn't you enjoy my show? The man is believed to be Israeli

160
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.759
and said, enjoyed your show until
you brought out the Palestinian flag. According

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.120
to Short, let it provoke Curry
to order him out of the theater.

Audience members are saying and escalated into
a screaming match, with Curry shouting leaf

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.639
my effing show, now, get
out now, adding to the intrigue.

Soho Theater is built on the Dean
Street site where the West End Great Synagogue

165
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.399
used to stand, and it still
displays a miss rock, the plaque traditionally

166
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.159
placed on the east wall of Jewish
building, commemorating that history. Tina Fey

167
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.840
was on Bowen Yang's podcast and told
Bowen authenticity is dangerous and expensive. Fay
