00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.119
Callaroga Shark Media, Idly Home, Johnny Mack with your daily
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.039
comedy News, Big VP debate tonight. That's right, we'll be
3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.359
covering that on the Ballot Podcast. By the way, both
4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.640
the Daily Show and Colbert will go live after the debate. Now,
5
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.559
what's interesting about the Daily Show is John Stewart's not
6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.239
working No Tuesday night, Buddy, No, Michael Costa will do
7
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.120
the live postgame show. Usually John shows up for those.
8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.240
I wonder if that is a hint as to what
9
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.039
the future of the Daily Show actually is. Hmm. After
10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.600
the Trump Harris debate, Colbert doubled his audience with the
11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.119
eighteen to forty nine's John Stewart hosted a Tuesday episode
12
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.719
of The Daily Show that week and got the show's
13
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.039
highest rating since twenty seventeen. So again, very interesting that
14
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.240
Michael Costa is hosting. All right, we got to start
15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.840
paying attention to Kat Williams. I know, you know some
16
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.640
of us. I'll raise my hand. We're like, Cat, you're crazy.
17
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.759
Time is starting to prove that perhaps Kat Williams not
18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.439
so crazy. At a recent show, he went after Sean
19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.480
Diddy Combs Cat made fun of Diddy's attorneys claim that
20
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.519
Diddy had bought some baby oil from Costco. Williams joked,
21
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.280
they put the drugs in the baby oil. You think
22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.920
you're getting a massage, you can't even get up. He said,
23
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.280
that's the reason God gave me egzema. I can't even
24
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.719
use baby oil. That got a lot of laughs. Earlier
25
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.200
in the year on with Chen and Sharp, You remember
26
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.879
that interview, Kat said all lies would be exposed. P
27
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.000
Diddy be wanting to party and you got to tell
28
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.719
him no. Meanwhile, Marlon Williams was on Club Shay Shay
29
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.760
recently and said, I've never seen or been part of
30
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.879
nothing but good vibes and energy with clothes on. So
31
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.079
I'm not rushing to take down old tweets or anything.
32
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.280
I ain't got stuff to hide, period. I've been to
33
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.000
plenty of Diddy parties. I left early. I swear to
34
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.319
you I've never seen it. Those aren't the type of
35
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.719
parties I go to. I don't frequent those type of parties.
36
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.560
And even if I go, like I said, I'd never
37
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.840
seen any of this, want to hear about it. I'm like,
38
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.519
what did that happen? At? What time did this go down?
39
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.480
Because I was there until two three thirty. You mean
40
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.680
it too, so they waited for me to leave, like
41
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.239
all right, good that Wayns is gone. He talks too much.
42
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.360
Wayins did admit that he has seen drugs at these parties,
43
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.960
but was unfamiliar with the other reports. He told Chennon Sharp,
44
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.000
I watch how I conduct myself because I'm not doing
45
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.400
this for me. I have to answer to God. I
46
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.840
have to answer to my brothers. I have to answered
47
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.560
to my legacy. I can't act a certain way. I
48
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.080
have to answer to black people. I have to answer
49
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.599
to kids who want to be like me. It's a
50
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.400
lot for me to answer to. I owe it to
51
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:25.840
my fans to walk through this life and be an
52
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.280
example as best as I can. Meanwhile, new topic. Wayns
53
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.719
was on the Shaquill O'Neal podcast joking about Magic Johnson
54
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.719
and said, I said he had the good aids. I said,
55
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.120
what aids do you want to get where you lived
56
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.919
fifty years? I want those aids. He became a billionaire
57
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.639
with aids. Give me those aids. What kind of aids
58
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.159
is this? Financial aids? Sam Bee has her new podcast.
59
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.719
She talked about Diddy and said she had a chance
60
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.759
encounter with Diddy. Ages and Ages ago and was not
61
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.039
invited to one of the freak offs be recalled. She
62
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.240
was at the Democratic National Convention, but can't remember which one.
63
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.280
When Diddy walked in, Sam said, I was grabbing whoever
64
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.159
I could ask them questions about what was going on.
65
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.199
So I went up to him and said, do you
66
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.759
mind off ask a couple questions, and Diddy's voice was
67
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.080
very soft. She said, it was in an area where
68
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.680
you'd expected to be interviewed, too, so it wasn't outrageous.
69
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.240
After the interview, b said, Diddy immediately, like instantly, turned
70
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.919
to his assistant. He held out his hands helplessly, and
71
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.039
his attendants squirted copious amounts of purel into his hands,
72
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.240
and then he softly rubbed his hands together to extinguish
73
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.879
whatever microbes I'd put on his hands. The way he
74
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.360
did it was so rude. I do understand you shake
75
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.159
a lot of people's hands and your hands feel dirty,
76
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.319
but you don't typically need to sanitize while the person
77
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.400
is standing before you expressing your disgust. It occurred to
78
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.000
me in the light of all these freak offs, it's
79
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.719
always the germophobes who want to go home and recreate Caligula.
80
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.960
Every Tuesday afternoon, let me catch up on Saturday Night Live.
81
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.159
Let's say before I go to my notes, just top
82
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.159
of mind. I thought it was really good. It felt big,
83
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.319
it felt very show busy. The open was pretty strong.
84
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.159
But I gotta wonder, if you're on the cast and
85
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.800
your name's not Bowen Yang and maybe more solo Hernandez
86
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.560
talk about that in a second. How are you feeling?
87
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.439
Because yes, Daya Carvey great, and yes it was great
88
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.879
to see Mac Packer, Andy Samberg, and yes, Maya Rudolph
89
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.879
is nailing the Kamala voice. But you know, if you're
90
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.400
on the cast, aren't you like, hey, why has this
91
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.520
turned into an alumni show? But I guess for the
92
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.000
fiftieth year it'll be an alumni show, and maybe season
93
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.600
fifty one it'll be a reset. I could see a
94
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.240
lot of people departing. Bowen got like nine sketches. Nine
95
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.879
might be an exaggeration, but I felt like the whole
96
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.000
night was Bowen Yang and he was great as always.
97
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.560
And Marcela Hernandez, I'm wondering, does he do one thing
98
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.560
but he does it really well where he does the
99
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.959
one thing with an over the top accent that worked
100
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.000
really well. In the Pyramid sketch. It worked really well
101
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.879
in the I Love Lucy sketch, will try. I enjoy
102
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.560
it a lot, so he's fun. I just don't know
103
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.240
what else he can do. The Daily Beat spoke to
104
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.680
Dana Carvey, who showed up as Joe Biden and did
105
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.839
a very good Joe Biden. I mean, he's Dana Carvey
106
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.279
after all. Carvey said, it's been top secret. I kept
107
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.079
it under wraps for weeks, but I was asked by
108
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.720
Lauren to come on SNL to do Biden. He said
109
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.120
he began developing his take on Biden while producing his
110
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.800
podcast YouTube clips, and said mimicking Biden is trickier, but
111
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.160
the rhythm of the impression comes from the President's high
112
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.279
energy moments. The true North stars to try and make
113
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.519
it funny and not really get it to be a
114
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.160
political message per se. Bowe Yang caught some backlash from
115
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.439
fans of Chapel Rowan. Yang grown on Instagram. Everything she
116
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.399
has ever asked for has been reasonable. Bowen was dressed
117
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.360
up as Pigmy Hippopotamus of MoU Dang, and in character,
118
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.279
he referenced Chapel Rowan's past comments about maintaining boundaries with
119
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.800
intrusive fans. On Instagram, Bowen wrote, everything she has ever
120
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.639
asked for has been reasonable. If my personal stance and
121
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.000
the piece aren't absolutely clear in terms of supporting her,
122
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.720
then there it is. I guess everything she's asked for
123
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.519
has been reasonable, and even then we can connect it
124
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.560
to another story about boundaries or whatever. In character as
125
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.079
Moo Dan, he spoke with Colin jo just about setting
126
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.079
some boundaries with Zoo attendees. In character, he said, when
127
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.600
I'm in my enclosure, tripping over stuff, biting my trainer's knee,
128
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.600
I'm at work. That's the project. Do not yell my
129
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.079
name or expect a photo just because I'm your parasocial
130
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.279
best year, because you appreciate my talent. Last week, Rowan
131
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.399
canceled her weekend performances at a festival, saying I feel
132
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.279
pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now, and
133
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.439
I need a few days to prioritize my mind health.
134
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.800
Bringing this full circle. Separately from all this, Bowen was
135
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.959
recently on the Dana Corvey podcast well along with David Spade.
136
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.959
He shared some behind the scenes details about when Sidney
137
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.000
Sweeney was on last year that was a great episode,
138
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.279
Bowen said, I get caught up in the meta narrative.
139
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.199
Sometimes I'll get roped in like a headline or some
140
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.879
pickup every now and then I'm like, oh god, this
141
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.600
is so unfair, this is so stressful. That's not what
142
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.240
I meant, or this is not what I was doing.
143
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.040
Like when Chappelle was standing on stage with me, Yang said,
144
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.120
Lauren knows this is what the show is now. I
145
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.920
think Lauren has an awareness of it. I think Lauren
146
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.600
knows how that it's a reality show. He said. Sidney
147
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.519
Sweeney was an example of a host who came in
148
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.040
and understood how she was being consumed and perceived already.
149
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.120
She came in and was like, please, everyone make jokes
150
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.680
about my boobs. John Stewart, who's not hosting The Daily
151
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.360
Show tonight, was on Conan O'Brien's podcast, and he told Conan,
152
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.240
we've created this incredibly eccentric business where you need an
153
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.160
agent and a manager and a lawyer and they're going
154
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:51.759
to take about sixty percent of what you make. But
155
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.160
without them, there's nothing you can do. And you join
156
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.839
the studio and the studio will give you a deal
157
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.879
and you'll sit in your room it's the most inefficient
158
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.319
way Silicon Valley walked into entertainment, and the way that
159
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.519
Elon Musk walked into Twitter and went, how many people
160
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.240
work here? Ten thousand? Make it two? They go writers' room. Wait,
161
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.319
you've got fourteen writers and they're with you from start
162
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.680
to finish on the production. Well, it's important for the
163
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.439
writers to be invested. And also we're showing them how
164
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.240
they're on the page, because it's different about the page
165
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.879
of the screen. They got to understand how that works
166
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.439
and understand how we interact with the props. Amazon and
167
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.480
Apple hear those arguments and respond with something like they
168
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.199
can have three weeks and it's got to be on Zoom,
169
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.240
and you can have four of them. I can't function
170
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.399
like that. My writers, like what Conan said, I'm friends
171
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.879
with so many comedy writers, many comedy writers of my vintage.
172
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.120
You're younger of trouble getting work now. It's changing radically.
173
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.319
Stewart said. The large tech companies don't believe in institutional
174
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.199
knowledge that allows people to grow and get better and
175
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.000
create more. As for Apple, I couldn't help them in
176
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.480
the way that maybe I had been able to help
177
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.040
Comedy Central, But I think in their determination, I could
178
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.800
hurt them. Themes of comedy names of tech often do
179
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.680
not align. And that's when I knew we were in trouble. Wow,
180
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.160
very interesting. I haven't listen to that one. I'll add
181
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.560
it to Mike Queue. During the SNL premiere, Amazon announced
182
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.920
that Colin Jos Pop Culture Jeopardy will debut December four.
183
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.319
You'll get three new episodes a week on Wednesdays. Bill
184
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.720
Hayter is developing a comedy pilot for HBO. Untitled project
185
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.120
stars a woman in a small town who has a
186
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:15.639
big secret revealed and then massive colossal spoilers for The Simpsons.
187
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.040
I didn't even know this happened. I'm gonna spoil the
188
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:23.079
heck out of Sunday's episode. I'll go slow here, all right,
189
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.160
So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a minor spoiler
190
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.279
in a second. Then I'll take a beat, and then
191
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.920
I'll majorly spoiler it. Medium spoiler. Okay, you've been warned, right,
192
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.039
medium spoiler for The Simpsons. They hand it in the
193
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.720
series finale. But the show's not over yet, all right.
194
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.039
That's that's the headlined spoiler. If you want particular details,
195
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.320
hang out otherwise, you're dismissed. See you tomorrow, all right,
196
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.799
more spoilers coming up. You've been warned. Bart's Birthday is
197
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.240
the Simpsons take on what a finale might look like.
198
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.840
Inspired by the season seven clip show The Simpsons one
199
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.320
hundred and thirty eighth episode Spectacular a great episode, Bart's
200
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.320
Birthday is formatted like a hosted special, but instead of
201
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.480
showing clips from the past and making up fake ones,
202
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.799
Conan O'Brien introduces a brand new, AI written episode designed
203
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.679
to be the series finale. The episode within the episode
204
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.279
follows Bart as he watches the show's characters go through
205
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.360
cliche over sentimental finale type storylines with increasing consternation. Showrunner
206
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.919
Matt Selman explained why a finale and said, when you're
207
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.639
write for The Simpsons, you get asked a lot about
208
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.000
what a finale episode might look like. It's a tricky question.
209
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.879
He's worked on the show since nineteen ninety eight. He
210
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.600
says he can go on forever because it doesn't have
211
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.559
a hard canon or dense continuity. During the twenty twenty
212
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.039
three Strikes, it hit him, what if we did a
213
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.559
fake finale that makes fun of finales? Wrap itings up?
214
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.559
But then rejects it in the simpsonsy way. They brainstormed
215
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.440
what Fox would actually do if there was a Simpson
216
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.679
finale and landed on the idea of a grand Starfield
217
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.039
celebration that would serve as a meta takedown of showbiz
218
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.320
self mythologizing and poke fun at the reverence. Some fans
219
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.240
have a certain era of the show. You know, if
220
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.440
you heard Sunday's episode, I pointed out, the show hasn't
221
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.840
aired in years. Bob's orgiz doesn't exist at all. The Simpsons,
222
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.200
I think stopped in season nine. When's the last time
223
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.279
you watched Simpsons? Come on? Is it even on? Did
224
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.879
this finale even in Bart's birthday? Conan O'Brien serves as
225
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.879
the host of the finale celebration. Conan, you may know,
226
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.720
worked as a writer on The Simpsons for two seasons
227
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.159
and wrote what is one of these series all time episodes,
228
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.600
the Monorail episode don't start me. I'll start singing the
229
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.320
song you Never want to be near Me. If the
230
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.039
word monoail comes up, ask my children monarel. Since that
231
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.879
represents these shows so called golden age, the writers were
232
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.120
interested in poking fun at that. They roast Conan Conan
233
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.080
delivers jokes like it's such an honor to be here
234
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.840
for the series finale of The Simpsons. They knew I
235
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.559
was right for the job because I've hosted the last
236
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.840
episode of three of my own shows and counting. Selman
237
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.000
says Conan was smart enough and funny enough to know
238
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.759
he was one hundred percent the best person to tell
239
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.440
the story. All right, what happens to everybody? More spoilers.
240
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.200
Principal Skinner announces he's leaving to become the headmaster of
241
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.960
a school in Sacramento as a delightful mid season replacement,
242
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.600
adding all no doubt, find a whole new, eclectic cast
243
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.600
of characters to interact with, and also groundskeeper Willie will
