STILL no Shane Gillis promotion PLUS Mike Epps about his beef with Cory Holcomb AND Adam Sandler wants to do more drama!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.400
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie
Mack with your daily comedy news. Donnell

2
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.000
Rawlings is defending his beef with Corey
holcom Dona was on TMZ Live, where

3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.519
he explain that the beef was because
he wanted to shield himself from Corey's allegations

4
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:27.120
that anybody in comedy who's done three
movies or more has had to do a

5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.879
favor for somebody in the business.
Donelle points out that Corey himself has done

6
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.439
four movies, perhaps doing a favor, perhaps not, I don't know.

7
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.359
Donale points out that Corey's literally guilty
of his own joke. He's also mad

8
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.479
that Corey took shots at Dave Chappelle. You know, I was listening to

9
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.920
yesterday's podcast in the cars. I
was on my way to the National Donuts

10
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.079
Chain. I do that most mornings
to QC the show see if I blew

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.880
any edits or made a horrible mistake
of some kind. And I was listening

12
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.880
to Corey say that out of five
Dave Chappelle specials, two of them are

13
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.119
funny. That's kind of act.
Donelle says he doesn't understand the need for

14
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.319
comics to create controversy by taking shots
at others, something that's been happening quite

15
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.239
a lot lately in epic fashion.
Well, here's why in show business,

16
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.400
you fight up, you never fight
down. Kat Williams through Kerosene on everything,

17
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.560
and now everyone's talking about him.
That's what's going on here. When's

18
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.799
the last time you heard me mention
Corey Holcomb on this podcast before this week?

19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.319
Never two years ago? I don't
know. I can't remember it.

20
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.719
So, yeah, that's what's going
on here. Everybody's throwing heat, which

21
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.920
reminds me that coward Joe Rogan still
has not accepted my challenge to him.

22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.959
I guess he's some sort of wooss. I will fight you in the ring,

23
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.000
Joe, you tell me where UFC
three hundred I'm in? What are

24
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.959
you afraid of? Joe Rogan?
See, that's what everybody else is doing.

25
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.079
Maybe I shouldn't take on Rogan.
Could I fight Conan O'Brien. I

26
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.280
mean, he's a lot taller than
me, so he's got reach. But

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.239
I feel like I could take Conan
O'Brien. Conan, what are you afraid

28
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.159
of? Your woos? Let's go
UFC three hundred. Me and Conan O'Brien

29
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.519
in the Octagon, bring it?
Are you scared? Awkward segue time?

30
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:05.120
Ossia. Last week out, Lucas
made a George Floyd related joke attempt.

31
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.960
Apparently there's a video out there of
David Lucas claiming I've spoken with members of

32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.599
George Floyd's family as well as close
friend Stephen Jackson. Lucas apologized for the

33
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.479
pain they may have felt, but
did not apologize for the joke. Lucas

34
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.400
was on the Willie d Live Show
and said, I'm an advocate for free

35
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.479
speech right. The Great Patrise O'Neil
said that a funny joke and a bad

36
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.479
joke come from the same place.
So that was my attempt at comedy.

37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.000
It was to get shock value.
I'm a troll. You heckle me,

38
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.560
now I heckle you. I don't
apologize for doing the joke. Who are

39
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.360
we as the gatekeepers to say when
a joke goes too far? Well,

40
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.919
you're the comedians. You guys get
to say what a joke goes too far.

41
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.159
I joke about beating on white women, I joke about killing white women.

42
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.000
I joke about gay people. This
sounds like a great set, David.

43
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.800
I joke about the transsexual community.
So the moment I apologize for George

44
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.639
Floyd joke, and now I gota
apologize for every other joke. Move on,

45
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.840
John, So, who in this
situation is the gatekeeper to tell me

46
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.800
you went too far or you didn't
go far enough? Is it because I'm

47
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.800
not famous? If Dave Chappelle had
told that joke? What would have happened?

48
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.199
If Dave Chappelle told that joke?
There would have been five million articles

49
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.319
about it, followed by five million
opinion pieces and me putting Dave Chappelle's name

50
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.800
in the episode title of several episodes
of this podcast. That's what would have

51
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.879
happened. There's still wait, let
me check one more time, because I

52
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.199
did the show prep a few hours
ago. I believe there's still no Shane

53
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.240
Gillis press. And this is not
because I'm an idiot and don't know when

54
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.800
the episode is airing. Its airing
this week. If I throw Shane Gillis

55
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.560
into Google here on Wednesday afternoon,
we see the article I talked about yesterday.

56
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.000
Why did Shane Gillis keep promoting the
Holocaust deniers? Up rocks has one

57
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.479
called SNL host Shane Gillis had Holocaust
deniers on his podcast, and the third

58
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.719
one is Shane Gillis coming to Rockford
in June. Is SNL trying to sneak

59
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.520
this episode in I don't know what's
going on here? Are you happy Shane

60
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.360
Gillis is hosting? Did no one
else want to host it? I mean

61
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.199
somebody would have hosted it. No, why'd you pick Shane? If you're

62
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.639
not going to promote it? They
are promoted The upcoming hosts. Sydney Sweeney

63
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.039
will host on March second, Casey
Musgraves as your musical guest, then Josh

64
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:11.000
Brolin and Ariana Grande on March ninth. Maybe tomorrow we'll see some Shane Gillis

65
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.400
press. Very interesting. Adam Sandler
out there promoting Spaceman. The movie was

66
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.040
making its debut at the Berlin Film
Festival last night. I wonder if anybody

67
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.959
was excited about it. Doing some
of the weightless scenes, Sandler says,

68
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.079
the wires were tough because my body's
not the most flexible body. The wires

69
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.480
hurt me. They dug into me. The stunt man who would wire me

70
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.120
up every day would say that hurts, and they didn't believe me. But

71
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.879
we did it as a team.
The director would say you don't look like

72
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.800
you're floating. What are you doing? And I'd say, well, what

73
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.519
should we do? And then they'd
wire you hot up and he'd be like,

74
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.319
more like this. Spaceman in select
theaters, February twenty third, Netflix,

75
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.879
March First. You could probably wait
the eight days. No, yes,

76
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.680
oh no, it's February. It's
not even eight days. Seven days.

77
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.279
I counted on my fingers. Sandler
was asked if you'd do more dramatic

78
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.959
roles. He said, yes,
I love doing the Spaceman. It was

79
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.120
an amazing process. Now you know
me, I'm muh much prefer dramatic Adam

80
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.399
Sandler. His two best films are, of course, Uncut Gems and Hustle.

81
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.160
Much prefer that to Adam Sandler's attempt
at comedy. I actually think he's

82
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.040
pretty good as a dramatic actor.
So more of that now, this one

83
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.519
with a CGI alien. As much
as I like science fiction, I don't

84
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.000
know, but I'm gonna watch a
set of Curiosity so I have something to

85
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.160
talk about the podcast as well.
Day the Week's More first, Oh a

86
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.480
Friday, Great Mike Gaps has a
new special out on Netflix. Jason Zinneman,

87
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.319
who does great work in The New
York Times said Mike Gaps may be

88
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.000
the only stand up comic alive who's
upset that Kat Williams didn't insult him.

89
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.279
A non spoiler of Vibe review,
as I call it, Zinneman writes,

90
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.720
on stage, Mike Gaps convincingly plays
the rascal who was trimmed his way out

91
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.199
of trouble. Sometimes his chrism is
a crutch his writing concoast, especially early

92
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.519
in this hour, when he seems
to be his most generic, doing pandering

93
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.040
or familiar jokes about prison rape,
fat girls, and code switching. His

94
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.360
most surprising moments are not punchlines,
but when he says something that could,

95
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.680
in different hands come off as serious, like when he mentions he's been pretending

96
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.360
to dislike white people for forty years. There's also a moodier side of him

97
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.199
that you get peaks of in his
stand up, but that probably deserves fuller

98
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.439
expression. Like Dave Chappelle, Mike
Epps makes a habit of scampering across the

99
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.680
stage after a punchline and hitting the
microphone, but there's something sweetly innocent about

100
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.759
his version, often accompanied by a
wide smile. Zenmann points out he's a

101
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:24.279
fantastic mimic. Epps has long been
compared to Richard Pryor, who imbued his

102
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.160
finest work with a startling human vulnerability
the swagger. There was only a setup

103
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.800
to the joke, something many of
his successors missed. That's great by Jason,

104
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.720
but not Epps. You can hear
the influence most overtly in a joke

105
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.160
about how cocaine affects your sex life
when he gives a voice to a body

106
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.279
part speaking of Richard Pryor Micah.
Epps beat out several other comics, including

107
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.360
Marlon Wayans, for the title role
in a Richard Pryor biopick that was gonna

108
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.600
happen around twenty sixteen. Never did, but Epps did play Richard Pryor in

109
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.759
HBO's Winning Time. Here's that clip. There are many people speaking here.

110
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.199
The one that sounds like Richard Pryor
is Mike Epps. And if you don't

111
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.600
think anyone sounds like Richard Pryor,
then the impressions not that good apparently,

112
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.199
but I think it is here.
You go, Hey, black man,

113
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.920
black man, black man, man, man man, oh man. You've

114
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.000
been living like a sink these days. But if you want to celebrate after

115
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.319
the game parties at my place in
the heels. Come on up, man,

116
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.720
we got it all man, we
got white bitch. Calder Zinneman floats

117
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.519
a theory that why the movie didn't
happen. He says after that winning time

118
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.079
clip, Richard Pryor's widow tweeted out
her disapproval. Hmm. Jimmy Kimmel seems

119
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.160
annoy that he was sued by George
Santos. He asked, did anybody else

120
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.000
get sued by George Santos this weekend? I'm currently embroiled in what might be

121
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.959
the most preposterous lossit of all time. Kimmel said, we did a nice

122
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.120
thing. We supported him by ordering
his cameo videos. Ricky Gervais shared some

123
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.519
extremely sad news. The very funny
and very lovely you and McIntosh are known

124
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:57.040
too many as Big Keith from the
Office has passed away. An absolute original

125
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.199
rip McIntosh was fifty years old,
roughly sort of kind than not really the

126
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.680
Kevin analog on the original British Office. I've got a bunch of clips here

127
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.279
that I just didn't get to it. It was so much controversy yesterday.

128
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.480
Yesterday was a fun nampisode. Not
that today's bad but yesterday. I love

129
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.360
the fights. Here's Michael Blaxon on
Vlad TV talking about Taylor Swift. Watch

130
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.040
out, Michael, She's not gonna
like this. Taylor Swift was giving him

131
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.360
that energy. I mean, it's
always great to have your woman there.

132
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.279
You know, it hypes you up. Bet. I mean it had been

133
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.519
great before Taylor. Let's be honest, Taylor didn't know nothing about football.

134
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.159
No till she started digging this guy. She knew because you watch her earlier

135
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.679
in the season, she'll be cheering
at the wrong time. She's like,

136
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.240
yeah, Teller is halftime. See
now you have no clue what's going on?

137
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.440
Do you? Yeah, she just
did just cheer her man. She's

138
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.000
I'm so happy for her because you
could tell for the first time she's in

139
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.120
love. Weird Al was on with
Craig Ferguson. Al started talking about and

140
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.320
he sounds really way too guilty here
about some language he used in songs early

141
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.320
in his career. Al. We
know you come in peace, we know

142
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.480
you don't mean anything, and I
really think you're overthinking this. But here's

143
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.600
Weird Al with Craig Ferguson. I've
been releasing records, you know, since

144
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.200
the late seventies, so some of
the you know, I obviously tried not

145
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.879
to be offensive or do anything that
I thought that would come back to haunt

146
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.320
me later. But there's there's some
languages, some words that I used in

147
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.639
the eighties and nineties which you know
are now considered slurs or offensive. So

148
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.480
you know, in fact, there's
one song that I did on this last

149
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.519
tour which had had an offensive word
in it, and I sang the word,

150
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.840
and then the whole band stops and
I have to explain, like I

151
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.159
wrote this on the nineties, I
didn't mean any offense by it. Language

152
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.200
is a fluid thing. But you
know, you can you give me I

153
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.360
don't I'm not going to ask you
to say the word, but can you

154
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.879
let me give me a clue to
what the word is or what it pertains

155
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.320
to. I'll say it because I
say it is hermaphrodite. Is that a

156
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.440
slur? Well it is apparently,
you know I thought it was a medical

157
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.960
Well that's exactly that's exactly how I
explained it. And you know in my

158
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.360
apology that you know, when I
wrote it in the nineties, I thought,

159
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.360
okay, this is a technical medical
term. And this is you know,

160
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.679
the person in my hypothetical story happens
to be one, right, And

161
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.559
apparently that word is considered a slurw
nowadays, which obviously, no, I'll

162
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.759
be honest, it's not a word
I use often, no id No,

163
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.960
I know. Yeah, And you
know, I can see the why you

164
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.799
would use it, because it's clearly
writes with stuff. And you know,

165
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.679
because language changes, I mean,
even the word lame, uh, you

166
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.159
know, which is in common usage. And you know, I haven't stopped

167
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.720
saying that, but I mean the
point has been made like, oh,

168
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.240
that's an ablest term, Like okay, I can see that, but still

169
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.039
it's it's such a common and and
there's there's another word that I used and

170
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.720
I won't say this word, but
it's a word that both Beyonce and Lizo

171
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.639
got in trouble for. It rhymes
with plastic, do you know what I

172
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.960
mean? And begins with an sp
oh gosh, yeah, right, okay,

173
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.320
so uh and you know, in
North America that's just considered like a

174
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.279
goofy, you know, yes,
kind of good person. But in other

175
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.320
parts of the world it's considered a
horrible slur. Well, you know,

176
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.679
what's interesting is that the words the
word you're talking about, When I was

177
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:16.639
a kid growing up, it was
used to in medical terms to describe or

178
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.080
like you. If someone was going
to a school for people that suffered from

179
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.480
disabilities or had disabilities, they would
be called that yeah, and they would

180
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.240
be on the sign in the school. Yeah. And it's not that I

181
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.200
have any objection to language change,
and it does change, but I think

182
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.919
for I feel like there is a
great deal of legitimacy in the changing of

183
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.320
the language. But I also feel
there's a lot of people out there on

184
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.600
the balls of their feet, just
waiting to be offended when there's no genuine

185
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.559
harm meant by yeah. Dusty Slay
was on Neil Brennan's Blocks podcast, told

186
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.519
this story about an earlier part of
his career. He was a pesticide salesman.

187
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.120
I like this a lot, started
doing comedy as a and then I

188
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.679
won a competition in Charleston. I
made a thousand bucks. And then the

189
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.000
next year, in between that one
and the next competition, I quit drinking.

190
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.879
And then by the next year I
won the competition like by way more

191
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.759
votes, and it's like so I
was like, oh, I maybe I

192
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.440
got something here, so I start
trying to figure out how to make money

193
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.159
doing comedy. But I don't know
if it was so much ambition as it

194
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.080
was I hate the other job that
I have, and if I can make

195
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.360
money doing this, I mean I
always said, I don't need to be

196
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.759
famous. If I can make a
living doing this, then that's better than

197
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.120
what I was doing. Yep.
I was really trying to do it for

198
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.240
a minute, you know, but
I was also drinking a lot. So

199
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.480
what you had to do you'd have
to drive to the Low store and then

200
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.440
go inside and you had to call
in on the Low's phone to you know,

201
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.240
to a system. That way they
knew you checked into that store.

202
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.639
You couldn't do it from yourself on
That was like the way to get yourself

203
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.000
fired instantly if you call it in
from your cell phone. Okay, but

204
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.080
I would be so I have that
part wrong. But you did have call

205
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.600
in, but I would be hungover. So I would go show up,

206
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.039
call in on the Low's phone,
and then go back out to my car

207
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.799
and sit and smoke cigarettes and listen
to the radio for an hour and then

208
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.919
go back in and Dusty here talking
to Neil Brennan on blocks about acting nervous

209
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.919
on stage. This was pretty interesting
because I'd picked up on that myself when

210
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.120
I watched the special I've done the
Tonight Show. I just did my fourth

211
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.759
appearance on The Tonight Show, and
it's like the first time, I think

212
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.840
they thought they had made a mistake
booking me because I was so nervous.

213
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.919
But this last time I did it, I wasn't nervous at all. I

214
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.600
was like, all right, I've
done this, let's do it. I'm

215
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.039
happy to be here now. On
the other hand, I did the Seller

216
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.440
to prepare for the for the Tonight
Show, and I still I'm still nervous

217
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.799
there because it just seems like the
coolest place. The first time I did

218
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.720
the Comedy Store, and the only
time I did the Comedy Store, I

219
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.679
was in the main room and I
tripped down that little step going out.

220
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.200
I was the first one, no
host, no warm up. I got

221
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.919
five minutes and I trip coming off
that step. Wonderful, but I still

222
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.600
was able to recover and had a
great set. Yeah, it was awesome,

223
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.720
great, But it's like, I
don't know, I found a way

224
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.000
to use the nerves. It's like, if I am nervous the only thing

225
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.120
that anyone can notice is that my
voice. If you know me really well,

226
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.960
you can tell in my voice I'm
a little nervous. Yeah. But

227
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.720
other than that, all the moves
are still the same. I may touch

228
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:43.879
my glasses a bit more. John
Stewart good for business Man Monday Night.

229
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.200
This week got one point three million
viewers. That's up from nine hundred and

230
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.879
thirty thousand and week one. That's
gonna make him, I think, the

231
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.879
most watched late night television show.
I told you, guys, put this

232
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.720
on CBS proper. You didn't listen
to me. Put it on CBS Proper.

233
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.440
Don't wait. Start doing it now
and back up the Brinks truck and

234
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.399
see if you can get John to
do more. What's gonna happen to the

235
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.559
Daily Show when John's gone after November? Like this is gonna be fun all

236
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.600
summer, and then election is gonna
happen and John's gonna react to it,

237
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.279
and then it's gonna be January of
twenty twenty five and they're gonna go,

238
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.559
hey, look, everybody, here's
Jordan Klepper. This might actually kill the

239
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.240
Daily Show like they were lucky.
Trevor was able to follow John, who's

240
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.679
gonna be able to follow John the
second time if the numbers are up this

241
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.200
much. Episode one, aside from
the nine hundred thirty right away, it

242
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.720
hit three million viewers with the live
plus three day numbers including simulcass On other

243
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.120
Paramount networks. The one point three
million is the most watched daily show since

244
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.399
twenty fifteen. You know who was
the host then, John Stewart Monday Night

245
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:52.000
Show beat every episode of Trevor Noah's
Run and I like Trevor Noah, but

246
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.799
back up the truck. Here you
go, John, Daisy Leidik is your

247
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.320
host this week. The four day
Slow Comedy Festival kicks off tonight and it's

248
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:04.159
fourteenth year in sam Luis OBISPO founder
and director Eric Schantz tells Ksby that he

249
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.080
started it fourteen years ago after seeing
a similar format done in Edinburgh or year

250
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.759
one. We had stages on milk
rates with tabletops that we used folding tables

251
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.559
on to actually have a well built
stage, actual sound system, spotlights.

252
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:23.639
It's an amazing transformation. Twenty two
shows across ten venues. Information at Slocomedyfestival

253
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:29.399
dot Comslow Comedy Festival dot com.
I skim the names. I don't think

254
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.679
there's anyone that, unless you're really
into this, that you would recognize.

255
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.279
So I won't do the lineups every
night, but it sounds like a cool

256
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.399
festival. From the Department of don't
make this, Please don't Paramount Pictures working

257
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.440
on a spinoff to Ferris Bueller's Day
Off. The spinoff takes place kind of

258
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.159
during Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It
centers on the two valets who borrow the

259
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.519
Ferrari belonging to Cameron. Remember that
scene. Yeah, this is called Sam

260
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.919
and Victor's Day Off. Hollywood is
of ideas. Man, if you've got

261
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.599
HBO Max Max Max Max, HBO
Max Max, HBO Max, Rory Scovell's

262
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.599
got a new special today. I've
mentioned this before. It's like, how

263
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.880
did Rory Scovell, who's fine,
How did Rory Scovell pull an HBO Max

264
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.079
special. Well, Conan O'Brien is
producing it under his team Coco Banner.

265
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.519
That's how. Doesn't mean the guy's
not funny, doesn't mean the guy's not

266
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.640
cool, just means Conan O'Brien's producing
it. So that's part of Conan's deal.

267
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.160
That's how he gets it. In
the New Hour, Rory Scovell offers

268
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.599
observations on disparate subjects such as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting

269
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.720
an eight year old, and much
more. Seventy minutes set, which is

270
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.960
probably fifteen minutes too long, says
the guy who hasn't seen yet Rory Scovell.

271
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.680
Religion, sex, and a few
things in between on your Max today,

272

279
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.839
We had some porn bots over the
summer, so I had to put in

280
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.200
a rule. But I usually approve
things pretty quickly. I can usually tell

281
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.000
if you're a porn bot or not. How do I know? Extensive research?

282
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.720
Now, this is Joe Seed to
worl
