00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.080
Callaroga Shark Media, the show must
go on. Hi, I'm Johnnie Mack

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.400
with your daily comedy news. Did
you see RFK Junior is considering a vice

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.399
presidential candidate and it might be Jesse
Ventura, or it might be in New

4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.640
York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Even
coldpart joke. Now, that's a risky

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.879
move to pick Aaron Rodgers, because
if we've learned one thing, when he

6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.199
starts running, he's gonna snap his
achilles. Jimmy Kimmel, these are not

7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.840
running mates. These are the people
of the mass. Singer calls. When

8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.280
Rob Schneider says no, Jimmy Fallon
said, RFK Junior was like, do

9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.640
you want to give it a shot? And Rogers said no, but I'll

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.079
give it a horse to warmer love
it. Kevin Costner was asked to react

11
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.439
to John Mulaney's wonderful recap of the
Field of Dreams. Costner retweeted mullane's bit

12
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.479
and wrote, not a bad summary, John Mullaney can rest easy. TMZ

13
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.759
reporting that sources with direct knowledge who've
already read Anna Marie Tyler's memoir and it

14
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.200
used to being married to Joe on
Malany. The sources tell TMZ that Mulanie

15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.040
is never mentioned in the book,
either directly or indirectly. TMZ says,

16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.319
not only are we told that he
isn't named in the book, but there's

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.120
no alluding to him or their marriage. In other words, m'lini makes no

18
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.640
cameos in this whatsoever. Literally nothing
that's interesting. Will Dave Chappelle be at

19
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.959
SummerSlam? Well, if Logan Paul
has anything to say about it, Dave

20
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.079
Chappelle will be at SummerSlam coming to
Cleveland. If you're in Cleveland on August

21
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.159
third, there's a rumor going around
of people who could possibly be at SummerSlam.

22
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.719
Dave Chappelle was one of those names. Sea scoops dot com You're home

23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.280
for Comedy News says a lot of
people either sleep on Cleveland or they use

24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.200
the city as a punchline, one
that has long lost its topical punch.

25
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.519
The truth is that a lot of
big names have come out of the city,

26
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.120
and Logan Paul wants his Cleveland connection
to turn out for SummerSlam. He's

27
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.879
hoping Machine Gun Kelly will come,
the Kelsey Brothers, and also Dave Chappelle.

28
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.400
He says, I want to bring
my brother Jake Paul. I want

29
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.680
MGK to be there. I want
the Kelsey Brothers to be there. I

30
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.799
want to be one of the biggest
events Cleveland has ever seen. And hopefully

31
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.000
I can get an opponent who I
could bring the house down with. Oh,

32
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.960
Dave Chappelle will absolutely be there.
The Wall Street Journal recently profiled Kevin

33
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.080
Hart and said Heart develops his routines
orally he forms observations and anecdotes from his

34
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.840
conversations with a bunch of his friends. They are dubbed the Plastic Cup Boys

35
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.840
with a Z. Members of the
Plastic Cup Boys are the only comedians who

36
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.840
opened for Heart on tour. The
Journal rights moments after showing Providence, Kevin

37
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.240
Hart is reflecting, saying, that
was a tight fifty nine minutes. I'm

38
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.960
going to get it to an hour
straight. I'm going to move three to

39
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.199
four things where I want to hear
the laughter be as loud as it is

40
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.759
in other places. I should be
able to feel the laughter from the top

41
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.240
to the bottom. Snaps his fingers
and says, it's fun. It's fun.

42
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.439
People look up. It's been an
hour, but it didn't feel like

43
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.199
it in the act. He's a
finding now he wants to eye the backstretch

44
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.520
of his forties and beyond, he
says, including my transition as a father,

45
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.000
my hope for family growth and gain, and the idea of old age.

46
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.400
Heart's been touring this under the placeholder
brand new material. There's talk of

47
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.560
an official tour later this year,
but he says instead of play arenas,

48
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.120
he might do many residencies. Instead
of sixteen thousand people a night, he'd

49
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.280
played roughly the same number during a
half dozen shows over a weekend in a

50
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.960
more intimate theater. That would be
cool. Rolling Stone profiled Rommy. Yusef

51
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.520
will be hearing a lot about Rommy
in the upcoming weeks, with his special

52
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.319
coming out soon, they write.
As he is on stage, Usef is

53
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.599
soft spoken, upbeaten, empathetic in
person, always looking for the good and

54
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.919
people in situations. Mark Curry invited
Yusef to open for him on tour,

55
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.319
and even though the Access of Evil
and other Arab comics like Moa Mayer had

56
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.520
been out there for a few years, Romy entered a stand up world that

57
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.120
seemed confused by his existence. He
said, there was this thing on a

58
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.319
baseline level of wait, do Muslims
laugh? Do they condone comedy. That's

59
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.120
so when the gutter some of it
was. He addressed nine to eleven and

60
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.400
said, I don't even know that
I fully realized how it affected my psychology.

61
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.080
Being eleven twelve around that period,
it took me a really long time

62
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.560
to say, oh, wait to
cope. I tried to downplay it,

63
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.599
but affected every single thing my parents
did, every decision they made. A

64
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.159
lot changed afterward. They tried to
hide some of it from us, but

65
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.000
then you kind of start to realize, oh, you lost a lot of

66
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.560
your friends, you lost some work
opportunities, our entire social circle shrunk.

67
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.960
He tried turning the anti Muslim sentiment
to his professional advantage, auditioning early in

68
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.439
his career for the kind of terrorist
roles that have become ubiquitous over the previous

69
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.599
decade. He didn't get them.
They would go, oh, you're not

70
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.199
scary enough. If there's one regret
he has about the Hulu show, it's

71
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.800
that he named it and the character
after himself, inspiring people to confuse him

72
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
with the guy he's playing. He
was worried about how his parents would respond

73
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.639
to the show. He refused to
tell them anything about it because I wanted

74
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.040
to give them plausible deniability. No
fourth season has been ordered yet, but

75
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.399
he says he's talked to Hulu about
the idea of taking a long break then

76
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.160
returning to jupict Rami Hassan in a
new stage of his life. It's definitely

77
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.079
not over, he insists, Well, this is interesting. Johnny Knoxville new

78
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.279
film, it's called Sweet Dreams,
out on April twelfth. In it,

79
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.920
Bobby Lee, Moa Mahern, Theo
Vaughn. The official synopsis of Sweet Dreams

80
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.199
forced in a rehabit Sweet Dreams recovery
Center, Mars played by Johnny Knoxville,

81
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.120
struggles to confront the wreckage of his
life, but when their house goes up

82
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.920
for auction, he reluctantly agrees to
coach their misfits softball team of Recovering Attic

83
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.839
to win a cash prize and prove
that everyone, despite their past, can

84
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.040
hit a home run. Neil Young
announced he's back on Spotify or remember he

85
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.040
quit Spotify when they did a deal
with that Joe Rogan Fellow. Yeah,

86
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.959
well now that Rogan's everywhere, what's
Neil Young to do? Neil said,

87
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.319
I can't just leave Apple on Amazon
like it did Spotify because my music would

88
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.079
have a very little streaming outlet to
music lovers at all. Joe Rogan said,

89
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.600
by the way, Neil Young came
back to Spotify, Congratulations Neil,

90
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.399
great to know you've got some ethics. Bill Murray commented who should play him

91
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.160
in the SNL movie? Now?
The SNL movie takes place in nineteen seventy

92
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.519
five, and Bill said, I'm
plus this movie will really be about the

93
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.519
original seven cast members, noting he
didn't join it until nineteen seventy seven.

94
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.040
Bill said, I get to be
on the sidelines. I think my name

95
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.959
gets mentioned, which is good.
He suggested some people. First up,

96
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.639
he says, I like Keenan Thompson. Now I'll weigh in here. I'm

97
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.040
not sure Keenan Thompson really captures the
essence of Bill Murray. His next suggestion,

98
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.800
Bill Hayter, I could see that
working, although you know how old's

99
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.600
Bill Murray in nineteen seventy seven.
Bill Murray was born in nineteen fifty.

100
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.680
That's nice and easy. So he's
twenty seven. Bill Hayter is forty five,

101
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.639
so probably not best choice to play
Bill Murray. His other suggestions Kristin

102
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.959
Wig, I think she's wrong for
the part or Amy Poehler. Yeah,

103
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:23.360
Amy Polar would nail it. Bossum. Yusef spoke to India today, you're

104
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.000
home for comedy news. He said, traffic in New Delhi is Cairo multiplied

105
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.839
by one thousand. He recalled his
first visit to India, where he snuck

106
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.639
out at three in the morning to
see the sites. He wanted to see

107
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.160
the Taj Mahal. His organizers wouldn't
let him go out because they were worried

108
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.439
with the traffic. He wouldn't get
back in time, so he snuck out.

109
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.720
In twenty fourteen, Yusef snuck out
of Egypt, not because of traffic,

110
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.399
but because jokes he had made against
the Egyptian government. He's a heart

111
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.279
surgeon turned comedian. I find him
fascinating. I didn't know he's a heart

112
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.120
surgeon. Anyway of the story.
I just told you. He said,

113
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.199
I sneaked out of Egypt. You
think the Taj Palace can contain me.

114
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.680
BAFTA has announced that Phil Way,
comedian that I Like a lot, will

115
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:08.000
host the twentieth BAFTA Games Awards,
the world's most prestigious annual celebration of excellence

116
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.160
and creative achievement in games. That's
April eleventh. Comedy Central all of a

117
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.759
sudden last Wednesday announced out of the
blue. I don't know why they didn't

118
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.160
promote this, but they announced that
starting Wednesday, March thirteenth. I get

119
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.920
that it's four days ago. I
explained yesterday, Wednesday, March thirteenth,

120
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:26.360
at won thirty pm they would feature
thirteen hilarious new comics with short and sweet

121
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:31.639
sets. Season fifteen of the digital
series includes Sydney Castillo, Gus Constant,

122
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.680
Tellis Logan, Gutzelman, Morgan,
Jay Andrea, Jin pap Johnson, Ryan

123
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:42.079
Levine, Khaliam McNeil, Sean Patten, Lorena Russell, Amy Silverberg, Madison

124
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.480
Sinclair, and Derek Stroop. Those
are out already. I don't know why

125
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.720
they didn't pre tease it. Nate
Brigatsy on his podcast, I have not

126
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.839
heard this yet, but I saw
a recap of it. He talked about

127
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.360
Jimmy Fallon appearing at his shows was
that last weekend, and said after Jimmy

128
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.040
Fallon arrived on campus, Fallon essentially
he disappeared into the crowd of college students.

129
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.879
He was followed by Nate's tour manager, Travis to make sure that Fallen

130
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.560
wasn't completely alone. Apparently, Fallon
went up at a frat party. It's

131
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.000
also an anecdote saying that Jimmy Fallon
could not open to a door to a

132
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.560
bus bathroom in the middle of the
night. That's your comedy needs for today.

133
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.959
If you enjoy the program, tell
a friend about it. They might

134
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:20.360
like it too. I'll see you
tomorrow.
