Taylor Swift laughs at Trevor Noah, Dave Chappelle wins best comedy album Grammy, Shane Gillis to host SNL!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.320
Callaroga shark media so much to talk
about. Gane gillis coming back to SNL,

2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:16.920
Dave Chappelle wins a Grammy, and
did Taylor Swift murder Trevor Noah's career?

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.519
The answer is no. Hi,
I'm Johnny Mac. Let's listen.

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.839
You can tell that Taylor Swift is
here? Yeah? What this she is?

5
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.239
Look? Look at this? Look
at this. I say the names

6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.960
and they pop out Taylor Swift everybody. I like, if we should do

7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.200
it like this every year. I'm
gonna say the people and they're gonna walk

8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.240
in. Are you seeing what's happening
right now? As Taylor Swrift moves through

9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.640
the room, the local economy around
those tables improves. Can you see that?

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.880
Look at this magic right now?
Look at this magic? Huh?

11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.240
Lionel richie now, Lionel wealthy?
Look at that? Look at that?

12
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.159
By the way, can I just
say something before we move on? Can

13
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.399
I just say I think it is
so unfair how NFL fans have been complaining

14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.439
about the cameras cutting to Taylor Swift
right, like she's controlling the cameras at

15
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.399
the games. Right, Let her
live, Let her live in fact to

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.200
night on Taylor's be hoffy. You
know all what I'm gonna do. I'm

17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.159
gonna give it a break every time
every time they mentioned Taylor Swift. I'm

18
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.400
gonna get revenge. Every time someone
says Taylor Swift. I'm gonna cut the

19
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.840
cameras to someone who played football.
That's what I'll do. Cut bam,

20
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.519
just like that. Oh yeah,
you like that? Terry Cruse? You

21
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.959
like that? Terry Kruse. You
better fix your face, Terry. Yeah,

22
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
we're watching you all night, Terry, no relaxing for you. Do

23
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.079
you work for the CIA? Terry
ha ha, I can read lips.

24
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.319
Terry, better watch what you say. Trevor's a really good host. I

25
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.200
mean, is it hilarious the job
he's still on the Grammy's No, but

26
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.120
he's solid. He's so charismatic.
One of my friends texted me and was

27
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.760
like, why is Taylor late?
I'm like, that is not late.

28
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.640
That is so contrived. Sorry,
a big flowing dress. Taylor is in

29
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.879
full look at me mode last night. You can follow all about Taylor Swift

30
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.840
on the Taylor Swift Today podcast on
This Very Network. It was Trevor's fourth

31
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.879
time hosting the Grammys. He joked
at the show is the only concert that

32
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.120
starts on time, and that his
goal is keep the vibes going. He

33
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.359
did a big rap about TikTok and
Universal Music Group removing their music from TikTok,

34
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.159
but in the course of shaming TikTok
for ripping off artists, he joked,

35
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.960
that's Spotify's job, which is a
funny joke but also very interesting because

36
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.000
Trevor's in business was Spotify. That
Trevor Noah podcast, that's a Spotify podcast.

37
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.719
And I've been in the industry for
a while. I've been at similar

38
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.400
corporations. My guess is some executive
at Spotify is going to have an annoying

39
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.319
Monday morning with some boss going,
why is our going making photocal initial TV?

40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.639
Dude, Da, it's a joke. It over it anyway, Nice

41
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.560
job, Trevor Noah. The winner
Best Comedy Album Dave Chappelle for What's in

42
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.039
a Name? Uh? That was
my last choice in the group. What

43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.199
do I know? If you listen
over the weekend, I couldn't even remember

44
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.319
what that was. This was the
forty minute special taken from a speech at

45
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.400
his former high school where he defended
The Closer. The Closer won Best Comedy

46
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.680
Album at the twenty twenty three Grammys, Chappelle beat out Wanda Syke, Sarah

47
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.680
Silverman, Trevor who should have won
Chris Rock, which would have also been

48
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.199
a good choice. Chappelle was not
in attendance to accept the award. The

49
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.759
award was given out before the televised
part presenter Rufus Wainwright accepted it on his

50
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:20.599
behalf. Wainwright goofed up and announced
that photographer David La Chappelle had won Best

51
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.520
Comedy Album. Dave Chappelle Oops.
As for What's in a Name? This

52
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.280
was the one where Chappelle said,
the more you say I can't say something,

53
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.879
the more urgent it is for me
to say it. I'm sure this

54
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.000
is going to rekindle the Chappelle controversy. I think it's a terrible pick.

55
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.360
I won't pull my punch Best Comedy
Album. I don't know man at the

56
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.800
Academy or whoever picks these things.
I don't know what you're doing. We'll

57
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.800
talk a lot about the Grammys during
the week. Carl Weathers, who played

58
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.039
Apollo Creed, passed away. He
was also in the movie Happy Gilmour.

59
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.000
Adam Sandler posted on Instagram calling Carl
Weathers a true great man, great dad,

60
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.719
great actor, great athlete. I
spent Sunday I rewatched Rocky Rocky one

61
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.840
because I was in a Carl Weather's
mood. Also on this network, we

62
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.599
put out bonus episodes of TV in
the Basement discussing Carl Weathers films, and

63
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.639
a bonus episode of five Daily Trivia
Questions on Sunday. Those were Carl Weathers

64
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.240
related. The other big story circulating, Shane Gillis has been announced as the

65
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.839
host of the February twenty fourth episode
of Saturday Night Live, Which is weird

66
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.959
because you probably know who Shane Gillis
is if you listen to me every day,

67
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.199
and he's got a very popular podcast
and he's hit with the college crowd.

68
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.839
I know my son loves Shane Gillis, might even name him as his

69
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.360
favorite comedian. But I think most
people are gonna be like who. But

70
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:41.639
the same thing was true of Napergatsy
and he was the best guest host in

71
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.040
years. That was the best episode
in years. But what's weird if you

72
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.199
don't remember Shane Gillis was hired to
be part of the cast of Saturday Night

73
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.000
Live in twenty Nineteen hours after that
announcement, videos resurfaced on social media that

74
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.920
featured Shane making what variety calls racist, homophobic, islamophobic, and Masanja de

75
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.959
jokes on his own podcast and other
media. A week later, NBC Come

76
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.959
from the Cast, a spokesperson at
that time, set on behalf of Louren

77
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.439
Michael's after tuggle with Shane gillis,
we've decided that he will not be joining

78
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.360
SNL. We want SNL to have
a variety of voices and points of view

79
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.079
within the show, and we hired
Shane on the strength of his talent as

80
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.399
a comedian and his impressive audition for
SNL. We were not aware of his

81
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.319
prior remarks that have surfaced over the
past few days. The language he used

82
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.399
as offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable. We are sorry that we did not

83
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.439
see these clips earlier and that our
vetting process was not up to our standard.

84
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.279
So my question for NBC and Louren
is what changed? Are we no

85
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.120
longer offended by such language or is
he popular enough that you need to help

86
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.319
your show in a bad year as
we head into the fiftieth Is it that

87
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.000
possibly? Yes? Huh? Because
the jokes didn't change, Shane doesn't have

88
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.279
a time machine and made them go
away. So are you offended by the

89
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.879
language or not? Pick one back
Then, Shane released a statement saying,

90
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.600
it feels ridiculous for comedians to be
making serious public statements, but here we

91
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.279
are. I'm a comedian who is
funny enough to get SNL that can't be

92
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.439
taken away. Of course, I
wanted to notportunity to prove myself at SNL,

93
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.240
but I understand it would be too
much of a distraction or respect the

94
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.439
decision they made. I'm honestly grateful
for the opportunity. I was always a

95
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.000
man TV guy. Anyway, keep
an eye on that one. I'm sure

96
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.759
we'll talk about that a lot in
the next two weeks. As I speak

97
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.000
this sentence, it's eight forty five
pm Sunday night. I'm gonna cut here

98
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.399
to some stuff I recorded earlier,
and if Will Smith gets up and slaps

99
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.639
Trevor no or something wacky happens,
I guess I'll do a bonus episode.

100
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.839
The Gazette spoke to bobcat Goothwaite under
the headline living well is the best revenge.

101
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.360
They remind us one of the most
memorable moments in the history of the

102
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.920
Howard Sterns Show was when Howard and
Sam Kinnison called Bobcat to end a feud

103
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.199
between the two stand ups. The
concept was to bury the hatchet, but

104
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.079
Kennison wanted to bury Bobcat. Goothwaite
says, Sam was always talking a lot

105
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.839
of crap about me. I looked
bad when they did that. I didn't

106
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.759
feel like fighting when I was getting
ambushed. It was one of the lower

107
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.439
parts of my career. I'm sure
if Sam had lived, he would have

108
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.639
been in the Oval office with Kid
Rock. I don't have anything in common

109
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.000
with him. I broke on the
national scene, but for him, I

110
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.160
thought that early persona I came up
with it was funny. I've changed so

111
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.759
much from them. Yeah, he
doesn't do this anymore at all. I

112
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.240
try to challenge myself these days.
He's directing movies as I was thinking a

113
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.040
lot about how Tarantino always has these
suspenseful moments with not a lot going on,

114
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.759
but you're still on the edge of
your seat. Can I do this?

115
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.759
I tried. The last screenplay I
wrote was a family picture. Can

116
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.720
I pull it off? It all
seems quite possible, and he has in

117
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.040
the past few years started doing comedy
again, four or five years. I

118
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.199
think he says, it's great to
have this opportunity again. My dog is

119
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.639
here. What do you want?
Do we need to go out? Should

120
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.519
I hit pause on this recording?
I'm going to hit pause on the recording

121
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.639
because I don't want to clean up
pee on the floor. And I'm back,

122
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.959
John, why didn't you just edit
that out? I'd like to let

123
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.240
you guys into my life. So
that's the border Collie. She's sixteen,

124
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.560
which in dog years is one hundred
and five. She moves him around well,

125
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.040
she acts like she's twelve, you
know, a little stiff. When

126
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:55.759
she was a puppy, she would
escape and run around the neighborhood and we

127
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.800
couldn't catch her. I would grab
my son and jump in the car and

128
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.120
we would have to tire her out. And border colleiues like to herd.

129
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.800
So what we would do is we
would trick her into following the car.

130
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.560
So I'd be driving it like twenty
five miles an hour and the dog would

131
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.639
just be following us along, and
then she'd eventually get tired enough that my

132
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.560
son could jump out of the car
and catch her. So I can catch

133
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.439
her now pretty easily. But she
moves around just fine. And if you're

134
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.480
curious, she did have to pee. Where were we? Roy Wood Junior

135
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.920
was on Audie Cornish's CNN podcast and
Roy talked about the changing wave of comedy

136
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.639
and he said, there's more eyeballs
on TikTok than any two streaming services you

137
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.120
could combine. So is an hour
special still the lick might be better off

138
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.879
taking your hour jokes and chopping that
thing down into ninety second chunks and putting

139
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.399
it out on TikTok and riding the
algorithm to sell out crowds. There's comedians

140
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.759
I can name who are selling out
stadiums, selling out theaters before they even

141
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.440
had an hour special. That's a
whole turn on its head. Twenty years

142
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.919
ago. You do good on Letterman, you do good on Leto. The

143
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.360
network likes you. They give you
thirty minutes. If they give you an

144
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.399
hour, then you could sell a
theater. And he talks about how the

145
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.440
economics has changed the self producing You
might not even need any of these people

146
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.360
meeting companies and stuff. There's a
recipe that Joe Rogan set in motion,

147
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.240
that Mark Maron set in motion,
that a lot of other comedians have started

148
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.360
to finally figure out and how to
crack that code. You know, the

149
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.840
bird Chrysier's of the world, the
Tom Sigores of the world, the eighty

150
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.399
five sALS of the world. Audi
then asked about Hasan Minhaj, you know

151
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.080
the guy that we all think was
going to host the Daily Show before that

152
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.159
went sideways, And hey, Roy, love you man, You're not getting

153
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.759
the Daily Show. They're trying to
really make it clear to you. They

154
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.000
just like as a friend. Roy
said he was accused of not being accurate

155
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.159
with a handful of his stories from
a stand up act. One was the

156
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.120
idea that he was rejected by his
prom date's family due to racism. Another

157
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.120
was about FBI informants harassing Muslim communities
after nine to eleven. Another was a

158
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.279
story about receiving a letter with white
powder. Each of the stories was fundamentally

159
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.679
true, but, as he has
said, some of the details were fudge

160
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.399
in order to make it work.
Did you hear that thump? That was

161
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.799
the border Collie. She just thumped
the door. She came in again.

162
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.840
Roy makes a good point here.
He says, if you take Chappelle in

163
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.720
this, this is a terrible analogy, says Roy Chappelle, jokes I saw

164
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.279
a baby on the corner smoking weed. It's a joke. He's just painting

165
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.639
the picture of the ghetto. There's
no baby actually smoking weed. I think

166
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.399
if Hassan chose to use, if
he chose to change up some of the

167
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.879
story to invoke extra motion to get
people to pay attention to it, is

168
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.360
that the wrong tool. But at
the source material is the racism still there?

169
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.000
Is the xenophobia still there? Or
all the things he's trying to shine

170
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.759
a light on do they actually exist? And to me they do. What

171
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.360
happened tick some people off, especially
Daily Show viewers, because for them there's

172
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.320
no difference between desk joke and stage
joke. But there is, and so

173
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.000
for them if you're Comedy Central,
half these corporations aren't going to bat for

174
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.679
talent anyway. But was he ever
not factual at Patriot Act? To me,

175
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.879
that's the question because in my brain, as a comedian, desk Hassan

176
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.879
nailed it, did everything he was
supposed to do over the Patriot Act,

177
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.679
won a couple Emmys. But if
you question comedy Hassan, then you're gonna

178
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.360
automatically question the Daily Show Hassan,
But at no point did anybody go back

179
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.879
and bet anything he said at Patriot
Act, or if they did, it

180
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.799
all checked out. This is kind
of fun. Faulty Towers, the John

181
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.919
Clees hotel sitcom from the seventies,
has been adapted for London's West End.

182
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.440
John has written a two hour play
based on three of the original episodes.

183
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.799
Those are The Hotel Inspector and the
Germans from season one and season two's Communication

184
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.919
Problems. If you're not hip to
Faulty Towers, there are only twelve episodes

185
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.399
total. That's the way the Birds
do things. We now do that over

186
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.440
here with Netflix. Apparently I missed
twenty five episode seasons, don't you The

187
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.639
Germans was in the eye of a
storm, says Variety In twenty twenty when

188
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.879
UKTV removed it as it contained racial
slurs. It was later reinstated after Clees

189
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.000
attacked the decision as stupid. If
you've never seen the show, the whole

190
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.840
point of the show is how stupid
basil Faulty is. In twenty twenty three,

191
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.480
it was announced that Faulty Towers was
coming back for a continuation. I

192
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.600
don't think it's a reboot, but
I haven't heard anything about that. In

193
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:56.120
a while, we'll see. Mindy
Kahling is working with Netflix on a comedy

194
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.039
series set in the world of pro
basketball. The untitled Seas received a ten

195
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.120
episode order at Netflix in June of
twenty twenty one. Three years I know

196
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.200
there was a strike, but come
on, let's go. In untitled basketball

197
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.159
show, when a scandal forces her
brother resign, Kate Hudson's character is appointed

198
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.879
to president of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball

199
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.840
franchises and her family business, The
Waves. That sounds like a WNBA team.

200
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.120
Revisit that that's a terrible name.
Ambitious and off as and overlook Kate

201
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.039
Hudson's character will have to prove to
her skeptical brothers, the board, and

202
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.039
the larger sports community that she was
the right choice for the job, especially

203
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.279
in the unpredictable, male dominated world
of sports. Brenda Song will star as

204
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.120
Ali Lee, the chief of staff
of the Waves. That character is said

205
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:46.919
to be born and raised on the
South Side of Chicago and knows where the

206
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.240
bodies are buried. She understands the
complex politics surrounding the Gordon family, having

207
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.519
known the new owner since they shared
a dorm room in college. She's funny,

208
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.000
tough, and even the biggest guy
on the team. If scared of

209
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.919
her, this is a train wreck. I can tell her already this is

210
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.360
terrible. Can you hear how terrible
this is going to be? I know

211
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.440
it's Mindy Kayling. Everything she does
is wonderful. Drew Sarver plays Sandy,

212
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.720
one of the brothers and chief financial
officer of the Waves. That character thinks

213
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.120
he's the smartest guy in the room
and is often right hopelessly unathletic and bad

214
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.080
at sports. Sandy felt alienated by
his family his entire life. He now

215
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.360
works hard to prove that he could
return the franchise to greatness, or at

216
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.679
least make them profitable. All right, So he's the stupid male character in

217
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.960
a Mindy Kayling comedy. Did you
see the Scooby dooe Velma thing? Watch

218
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.039
that and then come back and be
mad at me for critiguing this? Okay,

219
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.960
you go watch Velma and tell me
Vilma is good, and then come

220
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.200
back and be mad at me about
my opinions. Here. Another character is

221
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.519
Ness Gordon, the emotionally sensitive general
manager of the La Waves. Ness has

222
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.080
an infectious enthusiasm. Friddie is both
good and bad Ness. Is a former

223
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.799
player himself who burned out after one
season in the pros now He earns for

224
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.000
greatness in the front office to make
up for his unremarkable career on the court,

225
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.600
and to impress his siblings. A
right been developing that for three years.

226
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.519
It's Always Punny in Philadelphia. It's
the fifth iteration of Philadelphia's pun Contest,

227
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.759
hosted by Helium Comedy Club February seventeenth. This year, there are three

228
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:16.159
rounds. Pundits has competing comedians performed
pun filled routines. Headlines has competitors read

229
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.799
madcap news stories and come up with
funny headlines. And Pundemonium gives contestants a

230
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.759
prompt from a hat and pits them
against each other in a pun off.

231
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.480
Winners of Pundits and Pundemonium receive a
cash prize and a T shirt. What

232
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.399
happens if you win Headlines, you
get nothing. Nathan McIntosh is taping a

233
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.480
special at the Comedy Seller in New
York City today, the eight uner bround.

234
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.120
Gorilla says energetic, loud, and
always funny. Nathan McIntosh is becoming

235
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.440
one of the names to know in
comedy Solar Opposites has a Valentine's Day special.

236
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.960
Solar Opposites was so good until they
changed the voice. I understand why

237
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.399
Justin Royland had to go, but
the new voice is terrible. In the

238
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.559
last season was not good and I
didn't make it all the way through.

239
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.679
Sorry, guys, used to love
you, but I get it. The

240
00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.919
new special is called an earth Shatteringly
Romantic Solar Valentine's Day Opposites Special. The

241
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.279
teaser shows the aftermath of a war
featuring attacking parrots, galactic satellites in the

242
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.799
Solar Opposites attempt at saving love.
You'll find that on Hulu today and at

243
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.159
the comedy seller in Rio So not
the one in New York City, the

244
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.320
one in Vegas. They have a
showcase tonight, Greg Riguel, Jenny Zagrino,

245
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.279
Tom Rhodes, Matt Richards, and
Mark Cohen. Seven o'clock and nine

246
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.039
thirty. Steve Martin is the subject
of a new two part documentary. It's

247
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.919
called Steve. It'll be split into
two halves. The first part is chronicling

248
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.440
Steve Martin's upbringing in years and stand
up. That's the interesting part. Part

249
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.360
number two takes a look at who
Martin is as a person today in his

250
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.799
latter career after stand up. That's
the banjo part. I won't be watching

251
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.080
that part. According to Vanity Fair, the films are so different that Neville

252
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.399
had two separate editors working on each
part. He treats them as two different

253
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.120
films entirely. This will be on
Apple TV Plus March twenty ninth. That's

254
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.360
your comedy news for today. If
you're mad at me at the Mindy Kaling

255
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.480
thing, go watch vell MOV.
Let me tell you where film was streaming.

256
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.000
It is on Max Max, HBO, Max Hbo, Hbo, Max

257
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.960
Max. Go watch it. Come
back and tell me that was good.

258
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.080
And that's why I have no hope
for this basketball thing. Okay, see

259
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:10.480
you tomorrow.
