1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media Hither. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.080
comedy news. Stephen Colbert was interviewed by GQ, who really

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.679
wanted us to know that Colbert was poolside when this

4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.359
took place. The topic the cancelation, Stephen said, Listen, every

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.600
show's got ended sometime, and I've been on a bunch

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.800
of shows that have ended, sometimes by our lights and

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.960
sometimes by the decision of other people. It's just the

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:30.960
nature of show business. You can't worry about it. You

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.320
got to be a big boy about that. But I

10
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.719
think we're the first number one show to ever get canceled.

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.600
Colbert said he was told by CBS they were getting

12
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.600
out of Late Night because it's no longer profitable. He

13
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.240
called it surprising. I'll editorialize here I have brought us

14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.799
up in the past. Well, then why did they renew

15
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.799
Taylor Tomlinson at twelve thirty That was announced as a

16
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.479
renewal and then Taylor said she didn't want to do it.

17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.479
That was the story we were told. So A, is

18
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.600
that story not true? B If it is true that

19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.000
they renewed it, and then Taylor said no, thanks, Well

20
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.799
why would you renew twelve thirty. Were you going to

21
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.920
have a twelve thirty show with a no. Eleven thirty show,

22
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.599
or were you going to move after midnight to be

23
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.120
before midnight? None of that makes sense. Steven Colbert said,

24
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.280
I can understand why people would have that reaction because

25
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.359
CBS or the parent corporation. I'm not going to say

26
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.040
who made that decision, because I don't know. No one's

27
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.239
ever going to tell us decided to cut a check

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.439
for sixteen million dollars to the President of the United

29
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.079
States over a lawsuit that their own lawyers, Paramount's own

30
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.280
lawyers said is completely without merit, and it's self evident

31
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.480
that this is damaging to the reputation of the network,

32
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.079
the corporation, and the news division. So it's unclear to

33
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.159
me why anyone would do that other than the Curry

34
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.079
favor with a single individual. Wow, he is not pulling

35
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.200
his punches here, Colbert said, if people have theories that

36
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.840
associate me with that, it's a reasonable thing to think

37
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.480
because CBS or the corporation clearly did it once. But

38
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.439
my side of the street is clean, and I have

39
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.319
no interest in picking up a broom or adding to

40
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.799
refuse on the other side of the street, not my problem.

41
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.040
Colbert says he has a great relationship with CBS. It's

42
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.400
one of the reasons why this was so surprising and

43
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.359
so shocking that there was no preamble to this, budgets

44
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.840
and everything like that. We've done cuts and stuff like that,

45
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.760
so that's why it was surprising to me, as I said,

46
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.519
But I meant what I said on air the next

47
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.439
night after I found out, because I couldn't sit on it.

48
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.000
They've been great partners, they really have. They've been very supportive.

49
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:12.719
It took us six to nine months to find our

50
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.120
legs before people watched the show. We didn't quite figure

51
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.719
out what we wanted to do. It didn't come fully

52
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.879
assembled out of the box the way the Colbert Report did.

53
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.159
And they stood by us and they were very supportive,

54
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.639
and they gave us what we needed and we found

55
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.560
it and we delivered for them what we wanted. I

56
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.879
want to do a good job, he said. There is

57
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.680
a sense of relief that he might not have to

58
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.800
put the snorkel on and get into the sewer every day.

59
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.000
He doesn't know how they're going to land the plane,

60
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.879
but he wants to do it gracefully. GQ's opener, house

61
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.439
work super normal, Colbert said, strangely, everything is normal because

62
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.479
the show is never normal. I've got nine months of

63
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.319
shows to do. I can't be thinking about it ending

64
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.000
in May. I've got to think about the show on Monday.

65
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.400
So when you say has the show perfectly normal? Well, yeah,

66
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.199
it wasn't that normal. And I had to tell everybody

67
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.759
at the show was ending. But the next Monday I

68
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.319
had to do a show. Steven, does nine months feel

69
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.599
like a long time or a short time? Colbert said?

70
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.879
The end has a discernible shape, but it still seems

71
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.280
a long way away. Seems like I got feisty here.

72
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.439
As for that discernible shape, GQ, can you describe that shape?

73
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.680
Colbert said? The image I have as a man walking

74
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.680
towards me in the dusk, and he's got something in

75
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.840
his hand. I don't know whether it's a knife or

76
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.840
an ice cream cone, but he is asking me if

77
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.280
I'd like a lick. Now, this is a transcript. I

78
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.879
don't know exactly what Colbert's tone was here, but this

79
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.840
is interesting, GQ said, I can't tell if this is

80
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.360
a bit or if this is real. Colbert, what are

81
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.360
you talking about? Why would this be a bit. By

82
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.080
the way, it's hard to tell whether things are real

83
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:29.759
or a bit. Sometimes to me, every day you have

84
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.400
to come up with a bit about something that was real.

85
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.240
So after a while it's hard to tell what's a

86
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.240
bit and what's real because you see other people engaging

87
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.120
in performative behavior all the time, and it's hard to

88
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.080
know if they're sincere about it. And at a certain

89
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.080
point it doesn't matter if they're sincere about it because

90
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.159
their behavior has an effect. Interesting again, the interview. I

91
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.960
know I'm going along here, but the interview continues to

92
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.000
seemingly go sideways. GQ. You've been attaching your mouth to

93
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.680
the exhaust pipe of news for I don't know. And

94
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.199
then there's a dash and Colbert's answer is that sounds

95
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.800
vaguely suicidal. You've been running your car in the closed

96
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.479
garage of media for twenty years. Or you're getting a

97
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.560
little woozy. Yeah, I'm getting a little woozy. Listen, It's

98
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.960
possible that George Cheeks, who was at the time the

99
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.919
co CEO of Paramount, saved my life. I'll get a

100
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.879
little oxygen back into my brain. I love what we

101
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.360
do and I love the grind. You can only do

102
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.039
one of these shows, do the jokes every night, year

103
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.960
after the year, for twenty years if you give a

104
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.680
damn at all about what you're talking about. And I do,

105
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.399
but there's a sense of relief that I might not

106
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.639
have put on the storkel. All right, let me pick

107
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.519
up more on that tomorrow. A heck of a lot

108
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.680
more there. Via TMZ. THEO Vaughn once against addressed the

109
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.079
Department of Homeland Security using a video of him to

110
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.480
promote deportations. THEO told guest Andrew Santino, it was scary

111
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.000
seeing how much hate THEO god After the promo video

112
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.720
made its rounds. THEO points out the government chair of

113
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.040
the clip not long after Charlie Kirk was murdered, and

114
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.240
he was therefore paranoid. Sindju Post has a transcript. They

115
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.480
have it as Santino saying, talk about pulling that out

116
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.160
of context. They're so good at that, dude. They just

117
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.759
took something that had nothing to do with something else.

118
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.920
You're making a joke and they're like, he's our spokesperson.

119
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:55.959
You're like, what, I didn't sign up for that, bro.

120
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.879
THEO then talked about being paranoid following the Charlie Kirk murder. THEO,

121
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.040
you know, I started getting real paranoid at home. I

122
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.759
was paranoid about the show. If there could be somebody

123
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.720
in the audience, you know. The conversation then talks to

124
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.839
THEO Vaughan's Netflix special taping, which sources who are there

125
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.600
say didn't go so well. THEO said, yeah, so that

126
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.560
was happening. And then there were just too many cooks

127
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.560
in the kitchen on the set, and then during it,

128
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:18.959
it was all kind of too much, I think to

129
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.959
get the show off as best as I could, and

130
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.839
I left there thinking I couldn't remember where the next

131
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.600
joke kind of went more from that. In the upcoming

132
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.439
day's full hour interview there and they talked about a

133
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.240
whole bunch of things. The New York Post had a

134
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.000
feisty story involving Leslie Jones. This took place at the

135
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.319
SNL fiftieth anniversary celebration. Apparently there was some director that

136
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.040
she doesn't like, Leslie told Vulture's Good One podcast. First

137
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.759
of all, I don't like him. He comes over to me,

138
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.879
and you know, I don't like him, she says. The

139
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.879
director said that he wanted a photo with Leslie and

140
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.920
that Paul Rudd was going to take the picture. She says,

141
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.160
Paul Rudd sees that I don't like him, so Paul's like, oh,

142
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.639
I'm enjoying this, and the guy goes, I want to

143
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.399
take a picture with you. I'm not taking a picture

144
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.279
with you. You're a piece of crap. I'm not going

145
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.360
to take a picture with you. Rud snapped the photo.

146
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.759
Jones said, I wanted to kill him. Get your hand

147
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.959
off me. Jones revealed that her hatred of the man,

148
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.439
who she has described as a narcissistic penis head, that

149
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.560
her hatred peaked after he wouldn't leave her following a

150
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.680
long day on set back in February. On the Tore podcast,

151
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.199
Leslie said, the guy who would direct to some SNL

152
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.360
pieces was an fing a hole And I don't give

153
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.879
an f If you see this, you still are probably

154
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.160
an fing d head, an e fing narcissistic d head.

155
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.279
He was just one of the white boys that thought

156
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.040
he was doing Shakespeare. No, this is an effing sketch

157
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.079
and you're not funny and you're not creating anything beautiful.

158
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.480
You're just being an a hole with this tedious fing s.

159
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.279
Leslie talked about being on the cast. He said, there's

160
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.959
going to be good times, there's going to be bad times,

161
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.920
there's going to be stressful times. It's any job now.

162
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.199
SNL is a big stress Yes, it's mentally and physically hard.

163
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.120
That's why you gotta be ready when you go in there,

164
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.680
because it's a foundation, it's a machine, it's an institution.

165
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.480
The thing I had to realize is like, oh, I'm

166
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.920
not going to be able to change SNL. Matt Wright

167
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.680
is upset with the airlines. He posted on social media

168
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.079
to Air Canada, F you. I hate your guts. So

169
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.399
your website crashes and won't allow me to check in,

170
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.399
So upon arrival to the airport, I'm told, yeah, you

171
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.079
weren't checked in on time. We can't give you a

172
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.959
boarding pass because of your website. Absolutely nothing stopping me

173
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.120
from making it onto the plane, Plenty of time to

174
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.720
make it to the gate, not even an issue. You

175
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.319
just won't let the person who bought a ticket get

176
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.279
their ticket because of your system. Go f yourself, never

177
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.040
flying with y'all again, and I hope nobody does. Around

178
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.560
three hours later, the airline replied, Hey, Matt, sorry about

179
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.639
your experience. The issue you've encountered was not caused by

180
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.480
our website. Please dm us and be happy to have

181
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.000
a conversation about the issue. Apparently Matt Rife has gotten

182
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.519
into it with the airlines before. One report says in

183
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.040
twenty twenty three, Matt Rife posted on X how long

184
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.920
is too long? A rose flight attendants in my new

185
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.319
show now. During Matt's Netflix comedy special Natural Selection, there

186
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.040
was a lengthy segment on flight attendants who insist on

187
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.279
enforcing the rules? Is that a bad thing? You realize

188
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.240
we're in a middle tube five miles high? That segment

189
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.040
was not reviewed well. A review in Cracked magazine said

190
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:10.920
the most off putting segment of the specials is less

191
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.600
bit a long time tried about a flight attendant who

192
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.079
assisted Rife Stowe's bag under the seat. It's a long

193
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.480
story that starts out defensive and then gets more defensive. Yeah, dude, Stull,

194
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.040
your bag, relax, dude. Rolling Stone said Rife is a

195
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.519
garden variety strain of American contempt, cheap, lazy, and sure

196
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.680
to fine broad agreement. Vulture called the flight of attendant

197
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.039
rants unfunny, saying it notably lacks the kind of humorous

198
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.960
reframing or conscious construction that would make any of it

199
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:36.879
into material if it'd given more thought to it. The

200
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.320
realization that he comes off as an enormous a hole

201
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.039
might have been an exciting opportunity to twist the story

202
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.639
in new directions. At the thirty one to two Comedy

203
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.879
Festival in Chicago today seven o'clock stand up on the

204
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.120
Spot at Downtown and John goblecon he's at Zani's Downtown

205
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.879
at nine point fifteen. Prince Harry I talk about him

206
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.080
all the time on the Palace Intrigue podcast. I don't

207
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.919
know if you heard about form MILLI. Prince Andrew boy,

208
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.120
we've been doing bonus episods and everything. That's been keeping

209
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.639
me busy while watching football Sunday. I think I spent

210
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.960
about six hours writing Prince Andrew's scripts while also watching

211
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.960
football and absolutely crushing listener Scott Beckett in the football pool.

212
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.440
I warned him when he invited me. I was like,

213
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.559
I'm really good at this. You understand what you're bringing

214
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.759
into your little playhouse there, and he was like, no, no, no,

215
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.879
you're not the good I'm like, oh no, I'm very

216
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.159
good at football picks. And now Scott Beckett has seen

217
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.480
the light I'm happy to take his money. I digress.

218
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.200
Hassan Minaj has a podcast. Yeah, I totally forgot this

219
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.159
was a thing. First of all, I totally forgot that

220
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.480
Hassan Minhaj was out there, you know, doing stuff. Apparently

221
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.879
he's got a podcast. Boy, he would have been the

222
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.039
host of the Daily Show. Think about that. I mean,

223
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:43.759
it was no brainer to hire that guy to host

224
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.279
the Daily Show. He was next anyway. Now he's got

225
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.720
a podcast, which I have a podcast. I mean, it's

226
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.000
not that impressive. And I bet you if we add

227
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.279
up Hassan's listeners and my listeners, we have more people

228
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.399
paying attention to us than say, Late Night with Seth Myers,

229
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.600
which is a thing that exists for some reason. I

230
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.759
digress again. Prince Harry was on Hassan Minhaj's podcast. Hassan

231
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.240
asked Prince Harry about a supposed feud between Taylor Swift

232
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.159
and Charlie xc X, because when you have Prince Harry there,

233
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.919
that's what you would ask him about, right, people say.

234
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.360
Harry looked visibly confused and said he had no idea

235
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.480
what Minhaj was talking about, which would have been my

236
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.960
reaction as well. Columnist Roba Shutter said Harry's team didn't

237
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.559
vet Hassan Minhaj before agreeing to the appearance. A Hollywood

238
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.879
publicist told Shutter's website, Harry walked into this blind. His

239
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.679
team didn't vet the host at all. Prince Harry also

240
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:37.240
attempted an American accent, joking about ordering breadsticks with ranch

241
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.799
at Applebee's, which actually sounds pretty tasty. Last week, the

242
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.360
hockey players on the Seattle Crack End dressed up as

243
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.799
Adam Sandler characters. They went to go see Adam Sandler's

244
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.360
stand up comedy tour. One of the Fords and the

245
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.240
goalkeeper when as characters from You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

246
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.320
One of the defensemen and two Fords were the iconic

247
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.159
white cutoff cable knit sweaters from Billy Madison. Sandler came

248
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.720
by the crack and locker room. They presented him with

249
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.320
a sign Jersey. Sandler posted on his Instagram account and

250
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.600
called the outfits by the hockey players hilarious. Netflix will

251
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.519
have that documentary about Eddie Murphy next week November twelve.

252
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.120
The trailer's out. The whole thing is called Being Eddie.

253
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.960
In Being Eddie, Eddie Murphy himself opens up his home

254
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.639
and heart, reflects on a career that captivated multiple generations,

255
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.919
and reveals the inner life that has long driven his

256
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.919
unique ambition and charisma. I use a lot of AI.

257
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.039
I think AI wrote that sentence. Captivate is a word

258
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.200
that AI loves to use anyway. Featuring a star studded

259
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.759
lineup of fellow comedians and industry peers, including Chris Rock,

260
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.879
Dave Chappelle who's just back from the Riod Comedy Festival,

261
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.759
Jerry Seinfeld, and Kevin Hart who also performed at the

262
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.759
Riod Comedy Festival. Not sure if they talk about that

263
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.360
in this documentary, Probably not, would be my guess. Being

264
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.559
Eddie explores how Eddie Murphy navigated fame, stayed grounded, and

265
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.000
remained at the top of his game for over four decades.

266
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.039
The documentary is expected to explore Eddie's deep relationship with

267
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.519
his late brother Charlie, who passed away in twenty seventeen.

268
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.519
It's been that long. I remember doing an episode about that. Wow.

269
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:11.679
The doc also features footage from Murphy's days on SNL,

270
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.159
which were great. I was having a conversation with one

271
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.840
of my students the other day, who's a big fan

272
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.960
of SNL. Now the Eddie Murphy years or well before

273
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.240
his time. I mean I was a teenager then, So

274
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.759
hopefully he'll watch this and appreciate them. Now here's a premise.

275
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.879
This thing promoting the Eddie Murphy documentary says there would

276
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.360
be no Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Trevor Noah, or Adam

277
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.399
Sandler without Eddie Murphy. So do we have Eddie Murphy

278
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.000
to blame for all these horrible, horrible movies? That's terrible.

279
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.440
I used to like Eddie Murphy being Eddie. Netflix, November twelve.

280
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.879
Pete Davidson and Ella Pernell have signed on to star

281
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.399
in That Time We Met. The Time We Met follows

282
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.440
a new couple that discovers their unborn child is destined

283
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.080
to save the future of humanity. The only problem is

284
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.279
they've just had their first date and now they hate

285
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.200
each other, which sounds like it would actually be I'm

286
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.279
not being a jokey here. That would be a good

287
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.879
Adam Sandler role. He'd be really good at that. Pete

288
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.519
Davidson in that role, I'll tell you right now, that's

289
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.279
gonna be terrible. Write that down. That's gonna be one

290
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.240
of the comedy stock Market picks on Friday. Pete's not

291
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.080
going to be good in that role. Adam Sandler, the

292
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.000
great dramatic actor, he could nail that. And you may

293
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.879
recall yesterday I was like, Eh, I'm not gonna say

294
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.200
about Amy Schumer's weight loss, and you've been sitting around

295
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.200
for twenty four hours now waiting for me to talk

296
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.039
about it. Well, I will talk about it now. Amy

297
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.480
Schumer posted on Instagram she was wearing a black and

298
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.799
white Valentino dress. Amy posted, I'm feeling strong and like myself.

299
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.240
I'm enjoying how I look, But man, it's all about

300
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.960
how you feel. So grateful to be pain free, thanks

301
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.159
to my trainer who has helped strengthen me since my

302
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.039
back surgery, and some sort of company that she was

303
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.519
promoting or thinking for lifting all the endometriosis out of

304
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.639
my body. In the photos, Amy Schumer poses around the

305
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.399
house in a split black and white neat length dress

306
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.159
with a plunging neckline and black pointed to pumps. In

307
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.279
one of the photos, she also wears a silky, pale

308
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.120
pink dress and posed in a lounge chair. You've heard

309
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.080
me say this before. Every now and then, Amy Schumer

310
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.679
wants us to talk about her, so okay, we will.

311
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.960
Glad you're looking great and feeling great, and that's your

312
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.919
comedy news for today, See tomorrow.
