Taylor Swift Comedian? Conan O'Brien's New TV Show, Jerry Seinfeld to Duke

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Rommy, you
seff, I see what you're doing.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.199
Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy news. In an interview with

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.359
Entertainment Tonight at the Oscars the other
night, Ron who was asked about Taylor

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:19.960
Swift attending one of his stand up
shows and what it was like if he

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.120
got to meet her, and he
said, I did. I got to

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.640
hang out with Taylor a few times. She's incredibly kind, really funny.

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.359
Easily could hang in comedy, you
think, because I don't agree? Do

8
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.640
you need proof? Rommy here,
listen to this joke. Big difference between

9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.039
the Golden Gloves and the NFL.
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer

10
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.159
camera shots of Taylor Swift. Taylor
made a stoneface to that Taylor could not

11
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:48.719
easily hang in comedy at all.
The interviewers were surprised that Rommy thought that

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.280
Taylor could hang in comedy, and
he answered why timing. Music's timing,

13
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.000
and she's just got that kind of
timing. She's got time to seemingly murder

14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.679
Joe Coyn's career. Tell you that
much. Conan O'Brien's TV show is actually

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.679
going a premiere I know we've been
talking about this for I think it's eleven

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.799
years. Conan's been working on a
show for Max Max HBO Max Max Thursday,

17
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.120
April eighteenth, Conan O'Brien Must Go
Well finally premiere last spring. Conan

18
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.760
said, my friends around the globe
never asked me to visit them, so

19
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.040
I did. In Conan O'Brien Must
Go, Conan O'Brien travels far and wide,

20
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.040
setting himself down in Norway, Thailand, Argentina in Ireland to meet some

21
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.120
of the people he had previously interviewed
for his podcast. He shared some footage

22
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.159
showing him skiwering stale food in the
kitchen of a Norwegian rapper, kissing a

23
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.560
python at a market in Thailand,
and presenting to a young woman in Argentina

24
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.480
a Larry David lookalike. She has
a crush on the actual Larry David.

25
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.560
Will there be more episodes, he
says, we have a backlog of fans

26
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.799
we want to get to. We
made these four, then we'll see.

27
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.439
I'll translate. HBO Max has no
money, You're not getting any more episodes

28
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.239
of this. Conin Codin said,
there are some hilarious people around the world

29
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.200
that I've talked to I have a
sense our country may sometimes be seen as

30
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.400
not caring about the rest of the
world. Sometimes we could be like,

31
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.599
we just want to take care of
America. Sometimes I like going where my

32
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.000
status is low. People are free
to make fun of me. I can

33
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.520
feel silly. I like to go
other countries and be a little bit aware,

34
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.400
a little bit uncomfortable with my surrounding, seeing what I can do and

35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.039
if I can make people laugh.
He calls this comic diplomacy. Do you

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.599
attend Duke University, Well, then
you're going to like the commencement speaker at

37
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.759
the class of twenty twenty four.
It will be Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry and

38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.360
his wife currently serve as national chairs
of Duke's Parents Committee. Oh, Johnny

39
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.000
mac knows how this works. Let
me guess yep. They are parents to

40
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.000
a current Duke student and a Duke
alumna. Jerry's children. Always funny how

41
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.680
that works out. Jerry will receive
an honorary Doctor of Arts degree during the

42
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.000
ceremony. Congratulations doctor Seinfeld. Start
there on that title around. It worked

43
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.800
out really well for Bill Cosby.
Mark Marion placed second at the nineteen eighty

44
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.159
eight WBCN Comedy Riot in Boston.
He recently told WGBH. When I came

45
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.120
in second issue McGuinness and the Riot, that's when I started working. So

46
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.879
I spent a lot of four bit
of traumatic time there, doing one nighters

47
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.879
all over the New England area.
You remember doing a nine hour drive to

48
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.280
a gig in Maine where he opened
for an X rated hypnotist. What would

49
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.000
that even be? Maren said,
it was so developmental for me performing for

50
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.199
every type of New England audience.
Coming back to this part of the world

51
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.319
always seems familiar, a little bit
like returning to where the trauma happened.

52
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.520
But I still love it. Alex
Edelman will have a special on HBO Max

53
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.919
Max HBO Max. It is called
just for Us and described as brisk,

54
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:34.120
smart and belly laugh funny. No
date yet other than April. Alex Edelman

55
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.520
gave a quotage which was, you
know, when I was in high school,

56
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.840
I saw John Updike give a talk
and he said, if you're lucky,

57
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.919
the work that you write might at
some point find itself in conversation with

58
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.759
the times in which you live,
and well, call me mister lucky.

59
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.639
There is a trailer I will share
it with you. I have made several

60
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.520
edits here for pacing. My name
is Alex Edlan. I'm a comedian and

61
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.840
I'm gonna tell you a story.
It's a Tuesday night and I see this

62
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.039
tweet and I sent it to my
best friend in the world, and I

63
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.840
wrote, David, do you want
to come with me to this meeting of

64
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.560
Nazis and queens? People are just
pulling up chairs here. It's like a

65
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:13.520
semi circle, or like an anti
semicircle. So yes, as you heard

66
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.240
in Just for Us, Edelman decides
to go to a meeting of white nationalists

67
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.959
and comes face to face with the
people behind the keyboards. The Guardian wrote,

68
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.839
Grod Carmichael is a superb stand up
if only did stop checking his phone

69
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.600
on stage show Jeremy chromp the g
There the Queen's came out checking his phone

70
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.480
on stage. When Sarah Silverman took
the stage at Hammersmith Apollo one night in

71
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.959
two thousand and eight, she could
have been more hip or more hyped.

72
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.480
America's most cutting edge comic came among
us forty five measly minutes later, her

73
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.199
reputation at least among short changed London
comedy goers was in tatters. I will

74
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.279
circle back to that. Just put
that in the back of your brain for

75
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.720
a second. The Guardian says they
were reminded of this at SOHO this week

76
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:56.079
when Drod Carmichael made a rare UK
appearance and went down like a dead shark.

77
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.959
At least Carmichael's gig didn't end like
Silverman's with a crowd and open Revie.

78
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.360
The Moon was more of amusement that
one of the world's most revered comics

79
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.079
should self sabotage. The trick would
stand up has always been to feign spontaneity,

80
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.800
to appear to be coming up with
stuff out of the blue. He

81
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.839
does not pull it off here.
Yes, there are flashes of comic power

82
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.639
the riff on Kanye is the only
black man white people freely criticize, but

83
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.480
mainly it's just Carmichael scrolling on his
phone, more interested in his reputation than

84
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.800
his audience. He doesn't stand for
much of the gig, despite the fact

85
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.800
that sitting on the stage renders him
barely visible to most of the audience.

86
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.759
The audience's phones were impounded before the
gig. Ironic, and given how little

87
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.399
here is worth recording one woman heckled
and said they made us put our phones

88
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.360
in little bags, they should have
made you do the same with yours.

89
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.519
So I was curious about the Sarah
Silverman thing. I found an article in

90
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.680
The Guardian from October two thousand and
eight. The headline Sarah Silverman's UK debut

91
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.439
was no laughing matter. Back then, they wrote, Sarah Silverman ticks a

92
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.879
lot of boxes for me. She's
subversive, consistently inventive, politically right on

93
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.079
and sexy. Not normally a big
fan of the taboo busting comedy that's her

94
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.199
stock in trade. But since her
turn on The Aristocrats, where she spun

95
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.639
a crafty tail mixing up something horrible, I don't eve want a voice here

96
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.439
and the American light entertainment industry.
I've been one of Silverman's increasingly numerous British

97
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.439
fans. That is until she,
or perhaps for promoters, did everything possible

98
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.399
to shake as many of us off
as they could. Thirty five hundred tickets

99
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.000
add a cool fifty pounds in two
thousand and eight currency. I'll let somebody

100
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.279
else do the math there. That's
what kind of evening's entertainment does that get?

101
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.800
You began with a weight of over
an hour due to a technical fault.

102
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.360
We got into the venue at eight
o'clock. Half an hour later.

103
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.079
The show started kind of Matt Berry
and rich Fulcher came on and engaged in

104
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.839
three minutes of forced banter with the
audience. Then they introduced the proper support

105
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.800
act, Steve Ag, who wasn't
there. It's not AG's faulty was sick,

106
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.160
but who decided not to bother booking
a replacement. We got a blank

107
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.800
and you'll miss it video message from
Ag, a trailer for Silverman's new TV

108
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.439
series, and then the headline act
herself, all forty minutes of her factor

109
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.120
in an encore consisting of five minutes
of Q and A bastially improvised after it

110
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.160
became clear that the slow handclapping crowd
weren't gonna leave otherwise. The evening ended

111
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.839
with Silverman telling the audience to go
home at nine to twenty five pm on

112
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.000
your TV Tonight, Girls five EVA
returns for season three, this time on

113
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.160
Netflix that had previously been on Peacock. I watched the first episode and I

114
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.319
liked it a lot and was going
to watch more, but it wasn't available

115
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.360
to me on whatever cheap tier of
Peacock I pay for anyway. This will

116
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.000
be on Netflix now. I suspect
this will pop now that it's on Netflix,

117
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.000
as shows sometimes do when it goes
to that platform. Some new albums

118
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.360
to tell you about. Kaitlyn Pulufo's
new album, Dirty Bird, is available

119
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.199
wherever comedy is streamed and sold.
On Dirty Bird, Kaitlyn Plufo addresses the

120
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.040
struggles of growing up softball skinny,
the benefits of dating are young and short,

121
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.839
fiance, and the complexities of creepy
feminism. Track six is called We

122
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.040
Demand Kirth. Track thirteen has two
words of the title, the second word

123
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.439
raccoon. The first word rhymes with
fizz. Wow. I don't want to

124
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.600
make it look like a were a
prude here. I'm not at all.

125
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.480
I just try to keep the company
clean. Heer and fizz raccoon but not

126
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.800
quite makes me laugh. Richard Servante
has a new album coming out, also

127
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.879
on Blonde Medicines label, April twelfth. This one's called They're Gonna Know,

128
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.879
an exploration of this modern world we
live in where trolls no longer live in

129
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.120
caves but abound in in cell forms
in the cloud. The Internet is out

130
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.279
of hand, and Richard is not
afraid to say it. In fact,

131
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.399
Richard isn't sure if he's had a
real life interaction in years, and it

132
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.879
shows in this weirdly detached but somehow
relatable style. The album also tells the

133
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.480
story of I hope this isn't true, Richard buying three hundred bitcoins when they

134
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.440
were a dollar and spending them on
magic mushrooms that would turn out to be

135
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.679
a about seven million dollar trip.
I hope that's a joke. There's also

136
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.120
a story about a girl on a
dating app who refused to go three miles

137
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.960
to see him at a bar,
despite her profile saying that she loves to

138
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.960
travel. That sounds very funny.
The bio Richard Savarte is like John Wick

139
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.159
if his dog never died, So
pretty chill. Let's see if he has

140
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.399
any funny attract titles Drack seven,
Jetgy Robots, Track eleven, Shut Up

141
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.080
Linel Richie. You want to own
Richard Pryor's old house. This is the

142
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.279
one where he set himself on fire
in nineteen eighty. It's on the market.

143
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.519
It's known as Hacienda de la Suenos. It's a gated wallt property currently

144
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.240
owned by a former NFL player Richard
Mendenhall. He has set the price at

145
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.720
four point two three six million dollars, and that's not a random number.

146
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.600
It's an homage to his total rushing
yards he had his career of forty two

147
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.799
to thirty six. Bought the house
in twenty seventeen for two and a half

148
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.240
million. Men in Hall told Mansion
Global your own for comedy, and he

149
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.639
was I'm a fan of Richard Pryor. He's iconic and I feel a special

150
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.080
connection him because we're both from Illinois. I'm from Skochie and he's from Peoria.

151
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.720
He's a man of such magnitude that
when I saw the property, I

152
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.000
thought what was good enough for him
is good enough for me. Prior bought

153
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.360
the house in the mid seventies.
He sold it in eighty nine for nine

154
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.159
hundred and forty thousand dollars. And
The Toronto Guardian caught up with comedian Angelica

155
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.320
Skanora. How would she describe her
comedy style? Said brashing in your face,

156
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.200
lots of wild act outs and unique
observations about mostly reliable things. Influence

157
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.080
is Adrian apple Lucci because of her
razor sharp joke writing and risk taking Kat

158
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.200
Williams for his stage presence, and
Ali Wong for being fierce, doing it

159
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.000
all and making her own rules.
That's a great list for favorite comedian growing

160
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.159
up. I started listening to Dane
Cook in high school when he pull up

161
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.480
on MySpace. I was drawn to
him because he did such act outs,

162
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.480
and that piqued my interest because I
love physical comedy. I remember lip syncing

163
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.159
his albums in my bedroom and pretending
I was on tour, which looking back,

164
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.200
was very foreshadowing behavior. Favorite comedian
right now Jessica Curson favorite pre show

165
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.000
ritual. She says, I do
bizarre at theater school warm up exercises,

166
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.440
barking like a dog on all fours, tongue twisters, and jumping jacks to

167
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.720
physically release the nerves, just to
name a few. And that is your

168
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.759
