Callaroga Shark Media.

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.919
Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, daily

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.960
briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000
A sentence The Algorithm loves SNL is coming to the

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.559
UK this Saturday. Your first host on SNL UK will

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.600
be Tina Fay. Pretty good choice. Some people are surprised

7
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.519
they went with an American host, but I don't think

8
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.719
you can argue that Tina Fay doesn't know how to

9
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.679
do SNL. So you know, sometimes the correct move is

10
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.119
go right down the middle, and why goof around the

11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.479
first impressions make a big deal. Tina Fey good at

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.079
SNL knows how to host, Sure, Dna Fay, why not?

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.960
Musical guests, English band wet Leg Season one is only

14
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.640
six episodes. We know that. On March twenty eighth, Jimmie

15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.280
Dornan will host April fourth, Riz Ahmed and we're going

16
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.799
to talk about him later we'll host. Dornan will be

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.320
joined by musical guest Wolf Alice and Casbian will be

18
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.719
on the Riz Ahmed Show. SNL UK will air at

19
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.400
ten pm local time on Sky one and the streaming

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.200
service known as Now. If you're in the US and

21
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.560
you want to watch, you have to wait until the

22
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.799
next day. That's fine. I watch SNL on Sunday anyway,

23
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.359
It'll be on Peacock in the US. SNL UK episodes

24
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.359
are seventy five minutes. Interesting number, The Guardian wrote, how

25
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.920
could this be anything other than funny? They profiled the

26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.280
behind the scenes. Maybe someday someone will make a movie

27
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.680
of all this, the Guardian tells us. For the past

28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.599
four weeks, eleven performers and twenty writers have been spending

29
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.120
every weekday together in this very building, which apparently is

30
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.120
a boardroom in West London's television center. They've been hashing

31
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.280
out premises for skits. Do we like the word skits?

32
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.239
I think we like the word sketches over here more

33
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.280
than skits workshopping each other's material and finding the alchemy.

34
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.159
Writer Graham Maguire says, since Lockdown, it feels like British

35
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.400
comedy television has been slowly atrophying. A huge opportunity like

36
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.640
this is so exciting, The Guardian tells us the SNL

37
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.159
model seems unthinkably luxurious. On that side of the pond,

38
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.120
where sitcoms are often written by just one person and

39
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.959
writer room jobs are pretty much non existent. Is my

40
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.319
delivery very Colin Jost today. Every time I'm finishing a freeze,

41
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.599
I feel like I'm putting a Colin Jost's spin on it,

42
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.919
and I'm not trying to do that, The Guardian says.

43
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.360
When they ask cast member Al Nash how he's getting

44
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.199
in the zone, he thuds a copy of Live from

45
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.560
New York, Tom Shells and James Andrew Miller's eight hundred

46
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.280
page oral history of SNL down on the table, and

47
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.520
he says, some of us like to do our research.

48
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.560
Follow up question was what inside have you gained? The answer,

49
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.759
I actually haven't started reading it yet. That's hilarious. Showrunner

50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.680
James Longman says, Lauren Michaels keeps saying things to me

51
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.960
like just get it on air. How do they choose

52
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.240
the cast, he says, we were looking for the funniest people.

53
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.120
We didn't go in for name recognition. The cast range

54
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.439
from twenty six to age thirty six. There was not

55
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.159
an age limit. One element being carried over from the

56
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.520
US's Weekend update, Good thing Tina Fey is there this weekend.

57
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.120
I'm looking forward to watching that one. I Meanwhile, in

58
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.919
the United States, of America. We have our own Saturday

59
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.719
Night Live at Arizon Saturday Nights Long. I've at eleven

60
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.639
thirty and on the most recent episode, Marcelo Hernandez busted

61
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.159
out his Sebastian Maniscalco impression again. Sebastian is campaigning hard

62
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.560
to get booked on SNL. Man He posted on Twitter,

63
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.039
I've been on SNL twice now, which sounds impressive until

64
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.520
I tell you neither time was as the host. At

65
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.199
this point, Harry Styles and Marcelo Hernandez have locked more

66
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.039
rehearsal time as me than I have. Both of them

67
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.560
were hilarious and absolutely nailed it. Maybe the third time

68
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.039
I come in and do it as myself campaign campaign campaign.

69
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.000
A lot of people really liked this impression that Marcelo

70
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.400
Hernandez does. As I said in the past, he does

71
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.960
one thing, and he does one thing well, and arguably

72
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.120
he does two things. But I here, let's listen to it.

73
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.240
I'll talk about the case yourana. Listen to me. For

74
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.919
my client to get out of that store, he would

75
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.879
have had the June Collar security Gullar. Then they got

76
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.000
delases everywhere, so my client would have had the Tom Cruise.

77
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.240
That okay, and then they got the sensors. You know

78
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.360
about the censor Jarana, They're about this thought of sensus.

79
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.879
They tell you you got something you're not supposed to have.

80
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.719
So Mike Client what I had to grab the shoes

81
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.360
and the bell and the jack and hold it above

82
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.160
his head and go like that. So either Mike Client

83
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:24.759
is not upid or he belongs in the alumpics. The

84
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:25.839
defense rests.

85
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.120
I agree.

86
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.879
I mean, it's okay. Now I'm only playing the audio,

87
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.160
so you're not getting the physical aspects. He does it

88
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.959
very very animated, which I'm not entirely sure where that's

89
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.439
coming from. It's a good character, but it's not like

90
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.319
the most amazing impression. And if you're like Jenny Mack,

91
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.680
you just don't find Marcello or Hernan is funny. You're

92
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.079
you're not being fair. Well you might be right, but

93
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.879
as evidence that the impression is nothing special, let me

94
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.000
present to you Harry Styles.

95
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.279
This is crazy.

96
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.680
You're all just captivated by the way Sebastian Anna Scalco

97
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:10.079
is talking like what if I talk like that? Eron,

98
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.319
This guy took the close and he walked right out

99
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.879
of school. He got the security footage to lat them,

100
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.680
so ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Yea, I yes, why.

101
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.560
Would do that?

102
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.040
Moving on now, if you want to hear a really

103
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.720
good impression, Jeremy Colhane broke out Tucker Carlson impression on

104
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.920
Weekend Update, and it was fantastic. Let's listen, let's all.

105
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.040
Go to the movies. Huh?

106
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:44.519
Really?

107
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.279
Yes, why don't we grab some popcorn and watch American

108
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.800
culture collapse? What are we doing?

109
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:52.240
What's going on?

110
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.519
All right?

111
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.399
Coming in hot? Well, how do you feel about this

112
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.839
year's nominees? Where to even beacon?

113
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.879
Oh? I know? Why don't we talk about sinners? That's right, sinners?

114
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.480
Because of course, leftist, woke America's favorite movie this year

115
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:15.160
is about sinning. Huh why does that not surprise me? No? Sorry, kids,

116
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.160
we don't go to church anymore. We go to sinners.

117
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.680
That's the rule, that's the goal. Now what are we doing?

118
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.360
What's going on?

119
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.920
Okay? All right, so you didn't you didn't like Sinners?

120
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.920
You didn't like sinners? What about Handnet? Oh? Hamnet?

121
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.000
Because we're not allowed to say Hamlet anymore.

122
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.759
No, no, took.

123
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.000
The l and gave it to the GBTQ.

124
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.839
So it's Hamnet.

125
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:45.959
Now what are we doing?

126
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.079
What's going on? Meanwhile? We have a beef? Yeah? Did

127
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.879
you catch it? On it? I just did the cone

128
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.480
and yeah. See that's why illustrated that yesterday. Yeah, we

129
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.680
have a beef. Did you catch the send up of

130
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.639
the pit they did on usnl MA Hospital, Well, some

131
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.480
people said the Daily Show did that already. Back on

132
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.439
November twenty first, The Daily Show aired a promo for

133
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.639
RFK Hospital, a fast paced medical drama about the only

134
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.920
hospital brave enough to follow the advice of the medical

135
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.560
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. In that sketch, a

136
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.360
doctor played by Michael Costa knows that medical science doesn't

137
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.519
have to be based on anything in particular, and in

138
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.959
that sketch, the staff prescribed treatments such as raw milk,

139
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:31.199
fecal matterbaths, and defluoridated water. In that sketch, Costa's character

140
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.079
reacts to news of a school bus full of children

141
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.000
hitting a deer by saying, we can still save that

142
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.040
deer meat now. The SNL version closes with RFK Junior,

143
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.720
played by James Austin Johnson, rushing a dead bear into

144
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.120
the er, hoping to salvage it's meat. Hmmm. Michael Costa

145
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.519
went on Instagram and Johnny mack loves a good beef.

146
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.879
He posted, watch the original that we released six months ago.

147
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.160
He further commented, ridiculous. We are also reminded that on

148
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.480
January fourteenth, Jimmy Kimmellive aired a sketch called Make America

149
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.600
Healthy Again, in which Noah Wiley presented himself as not

150
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.720
a real doctor who gave some medical advice inspired by

151
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:07.639
RFK Junior.

152
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:07.920
Hmm.

153
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.720
Mark Norman's special was out on Netflix, and you know

154
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.600
there were Nicks and USA Baseball last night. You know,

155
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.120
I kind of wish Netflix would stop putting the comedy

156
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.079
specials out on Tuesday. You would think Tuesday would be

157
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.519
like a good night to just kick back and watch

158
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.000
comedy special and it never is. And maybe it's just

159
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.560
because I live an old man mountain. Can you just

160
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.439
put these things out on like Friday? Mark Norman was

161
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.720
on Fox News and he said, what bothers him about

162
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.000
comedy today is the presence of any finger wagging in comedy.

163
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.960
He said, imagine if a musician just came up put

164
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.559
his guitar down, was like, let me tell you about

165
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.639
iron in Israel, and you're like, what about the music,

166
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.879
sant up. Comedy is the only art for him that's

167
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.559
so subjective. You can kind of slip away from the

168
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.440
comedy part because you're holding a microphone and have a

169
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.200
stool with a beer on it. Mark says comedy has

170
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.879
become weirdly morality based. When I was a kid, you

171
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.159
watch Blazing Saddles, Ready Murphy or whatever, and it was

172
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.919
just like, the worst things are what you should lean

173
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.440
in on. He does not believe in shock for its

174
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.960
own sake, and explain I think some people do that

175
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.960
horribly and they just say a word without having a joke.

176
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.919
I think as long as there's always a joke, you

177
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.399
can talk about anything. Everything's on the table. And I

178
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.399
think making horrible things funny is part of the job.

179
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.519
So I say lean in. But it's got to be funny.

180
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.159
That's the key. It's gotta have a laugh, and that's

181
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.200
the art form making it funny and getting away with it.

182
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.440
I'll pick it that a little bit more tomorrow. Meanwhile,

183
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.559
Ready Steady Cut gave a Mark Special three and a

184
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.720
half out of five presumably stars. They right. Mark Norman's

185
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.919
style has never really evolved, which is kind of the point.

186
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.639
None too pleased, plays out like in All You Can

187
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.320
Eat Buffet of Zingers, designed to be equally offensive to everyone,

188
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.480
just as it should be. Norman isn't quite a one

189
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.720
liner comic, but he's close, each argument, usually highlighting some

190
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.519
kind of inherent hipocracy or drawing an out there comparison.

191
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.960
Examples being an anatomical analogy for the Israel Palestine conflict,

192
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.679
or OnlyFans being for men with the wnbas for women,

193
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.919
or how being married is like being in the military

194
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.879
and using that as an excuse to slip in an

195
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.759
off color gag about classic taboo topics like Hitler or

196
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.480
Nine to eleven. They write The reason this works so

197
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.679
well for Norman are varied, but the biggest one is

198
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.879
that he's good at it. The punchlines are offering cleverly

199
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.799
put together and snuck in when you least expect them,

200
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.840
and some of the core contradictions he highlights are just

201
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.159
as stude enough to become interesting jumping off points. Cats

202
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.759
are like Heroin addicts a couple of spoilers in there

203
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.519
that I will skip, but they conclude with most people

204
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.240
can laugh not just at others, but also at themselves.

205
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.279
Bird Kreischer is gonna milk this bus story again. I'm

206
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.799
glad everyone's okay. But like the whoever roasted him yesterday,

207
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.639
now bird has two stories. Kreischer was on social media again,

208
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.440
said all right, here's everything you need to know about

209
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.759
the bus. Both bus drivers said that never seen anything

210
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:35.320
like it in their thirty five years. We waited for

211
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.960
a couple hours and then we ditched the bus and

212
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.480
got on the crew buses and drove in a seat

213
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.519
of rapids. That morning, our bus caught fire on the road.

214
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.919
Everyone is fine, the bus driver, Dewey. He got out

215
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.559
in time, he said, literally. The fire started in fifteen seconds.

216
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.159
The front cabin was in flames. Here's the good thing

217
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.960
to know. Had we slept on that bus, we've all

218
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.120
been trapped in the back and be dead today. Yesterday,

219
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.240
we would have been dead yesterday. God works in mysterious ways.

220
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:57.679
So it was a blessing that we had to blow out.

221
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.480
It was a blessing. So today, as frustrated as you

222
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.679
may get, everything is a blessing. God works in mysterious ways.

223
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.200
The bus story pairs up with Netflix announcing that Free

224
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.120
Bert got a season two renewal Bert will also be

225
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.919
part of the Netflix as a Joe Comedy Festival, Kreischer,

226
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.720
Sigora and Jelly Roll will do the Two Bears five

227
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.600
K at the Rose Bowl on May ninth. At the festival,

228
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.360
Bert is hosting Bert and Shak's crowd Work show at

229
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.000
the Comedy Store May eighth. I promised I would bring

230
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.519
up this comment left in the Facebook group. Lee has

231
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.720
shot a nice note. He pointed out nicely, very nicely,

232
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.320
that the fish that Steve Harvey was going after, even

233
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.039
though it is spelled like you would pronounce it crappy,

234
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.159
it's actually pronounced crappy and tells me it's a popular

235
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.799
menu item for recreational fishermen. Thank you, Lee. I used

236
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.600
to fish for snapper off Jon's Beach over by the

237
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.919
Coastguard station on its probably like ten years old. We

238
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.759
just used worms. No, we didn't use worms. We would

239
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:52.679
go get baitfish little bit. I don't know what they're called.

240
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.000
Perhaps they're called crappy. I don't know these little baitfish

241
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.440
we used to get. They're coming like a frozen pack.

242
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.639
All the fishermen are like, yeah, city boy, we know

243
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.039
you sound like an idiot, and I do sound like

244
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.399
an idiot, So let's move on. Jenny Mack. You never

245
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.679
talk about Conan O'Brien or the oscars, and I know

246
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.039
I really should bring it up more often. People were curious, Hey, Conan,

247
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.279
I thought you said Trump's not funny? What was with

248
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.960
the political jokes? Conan told Variety after the show, you

249
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.759
have to use a common sense about what feels right.

250
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.799
If you completely ignore it, you look like you're living

251
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.200
in a bubble, and I wouldn't want to do that.

252
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.320
You got to reflect on what people at home are

253
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.120
thinking about, but also they want to be entertained, so

254
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:26.600
you need to thread it. I always hope to try

255
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.559
and do that. Robbie Hoffman was at Vanity Fair's oscar party.

256
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.080
So in case you thought I was really digging in

257
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.440
on Nicki Gleezer yesterday, Robbie Hoffman Hollywood insider. I know,

258
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.840
Robbie Hoffman. You might look at Robbie Hoffan and be like,

259
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.879
that's not an insider. Oh, that's an insider. Robbie Hoffman

260
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.840
special produced by John Mulaney and Robbie Hoffman's at the

261
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.759
Vanity Fair oscar party. Were you at the Vanity Fair

262
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.039
oscar party? No, because you're not a Hollywood insider. The

263
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.559
entertainment industry is very, very insular if you pay attention anyway,

264
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.960
We were told that Robbie Hoffman went on Instagram Stories

265
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.480
to share that she had found a diamond watch on

266
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.440
the floor of the Vanity Fair's annual Oscars after party,

267
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.200
which took place at the La County Museum Forard. Now

268
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.320
let me ask you, listener, do you have a diamond watch?

269
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.159
Did you lose it at Vanity Fair's annual Oscars after party? No,

270
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.320
and no. Robbie Hoffman was there, and she posted an

271
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.240
image of the watch and wrote, let it be known

272
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.080
that I found a diamond watch on the floor of

273
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.159
the Vanity Fair party. The watch appeared to be broken

274
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.240
in pieces. Hoffman then followed up with another slide showing

275
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.960
a security guard holding the watch, and she pointed out, obviously,

276
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.080
I returned it to the LACMA security. A third post

277
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.639
showed an iPhone with a note typed out reading Robbie

278
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.919
Hoffman found your watch and a blurred out phone number.

279
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.240
Robbie wrote expect reward. We are told the thin, delicate

280
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.039
watch appears to be from I'm going to butcher this

281
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.960
because I'm a kid from Queen's You can't even get

282
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.519
the name of a fish Raid Boucheron's Vendome Milissaa collection.

283
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.639
You nailed it, John, keep going all right? Well, we

284
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.399
are told via the watch brand's website. Watch run from

285
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.679
twelve one hundred and fifty dollars to thirty six nine.

286
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.519
I mentioned rizam d at the beginning, and I said

287
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.399
I would mention him later. It is now later, Amazon,

288
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.039
What are you doing? All right? Amazon has made a

289
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:16.200
quote unquote James Bond series. Now, why don't you guys

290
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.399
just make James Bond. Here's what James Bond is. He's

291
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.440
a good looking British man, walks in the office. He

292
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.840
flirts with Monty Penny. He goes in and kind of

293
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.440
yells at him for a little bit. He goes over

294
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.000
to q's office, grabs some gadgets, has a cool car,

295
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.159
meets a chick. There's a guy who's trying to kill him,

296
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.639
usually as a gimmick. Then he meets another chick, then

297
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.960
he defeats the bad guy. That's James Bond. Anyway, they

298
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.759
are making a show called Bait. Why they would make

299
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.879
Baits and not James Bond, You'd have to ask them.

300
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.879
Baits was written by, created by, and stars Rizamed as

301
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.679
Sha a struggling actor about to give up when he's

302
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.360
invited to audition for the role of James Bond. The

303
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.360
six episodes follow Shaw over four days as he and

304
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.679
his family and his best friend learn what it means

305
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.279
to be an instant star. Shaw learns firsthand that while

306
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.159
being considered for one of the biggest movie roles of

307
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.600
all time makes them the center of attention, it also

308
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.799
brings a lot of backlash. Here's an idea, Let's just

309
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.039
make James Pond. And that is your comedy news for today.

310
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.879
I'll see you tomorrow.
