He highlights Dave Chappelle’s short arena tour culminating at Madison Square Garden for the New York Comedy Festival. He discusses reports that Howard Stern was upset about backlash to ending Howard 101 and reducing his show to one day a week, plus an alleged HBO Max deal framed as a “middle finger” to critics. Other items include Chris Rock joking about a Taylor Sheridan/Yellowstone role, Jo Koy’s new Netflix special and Vogue Philippines profile, Conan O’Brien fronting a PAC campaign for state/local election races, Margaret Cho’s anti-fascism comments, Jim Carrey roasting Jeff Ross, a positive review of SNL UK, backlash to Julian Woods’ 9/11 jokes, and BBC’s upcoming “Cunk on Cinema” with contributors like Michael Bay and Benedict Cumberbatch.

00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:13.240
Well, we kind of knew this was going to happen, huh? Hi,

2
00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:16.609
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Taylor Swift

3
00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:20.390
is reportedly livid with Nikki Glaser. Nikki, I told you,

4
00:00:20.429 --> 00:00:22.989
you shouldn't have said anything on stage. You blew it.

5
00:00:23.510 --> 00:00:27.859
This comes from Shooter Scoop, which is a pretty gossipy website.

6
00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:30.260
I'm familiar with it. We use it on the Palace

7
00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:33.320
Intrigue podcast as a source, and it tends to be gossipy,

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.219
and it tends to have unnamed sources. But per Rob Shooter,

9
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.450
Nikki Glaser didn't just break wedding etiquette. She exposed the

10
00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:43.630
one thing Taylor Swift never wanted anyone saying out loud.

11
00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.670
Sources tell Naughty But Nice that Taylor Swift is livid

12
00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:50.140
after Nikki Glaser publicly admitted she attended Taylor Swift's wedding

13
00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:53.939
despite barely knowing the couple. I think barely knowing is

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.520
even exaggeration. Like, that would be like me saying I

15
00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:00.009
barely know Taylor Swift. Had they even met before? Insiders

16
00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:03.570
say she wasn't alone. One of the unknown insiders tells

17
00:01:03.630 --> 00:01:06.150
Naughty But Nice, Taylor is furious with Nikki, but the

18
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:08.250
worst part is that it's true. There were famous people

19
00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:10.950
at that wedding who barely knew Taylor. Yeah, we knew this.

20
00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:13.450
This is not as everyone could tell. And some had

21
00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:15.959
never met her. Yeah, she doesn't know these people. Nikki

22
00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:19.599
said publicly what everybody was whispering privately. On stage, Nikki

23
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:21.859
Glaser had said, I'm a huge Swifty, probably the biggest

24
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.620
Swifty that was at that event. If you're a Swifty,

25
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.719
you'll understand. I got the text inviting me to the wedding.

26
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.379
I never thought in a million years I'd get invited.

27
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.640
I don't even know them, but I got invited. Yeah,

28
00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:32.159
because you're like the it's a comedian right now and

29
00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.019
your agent and your PR team is getting it done.

30
00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:35.819
They got the invite. We all know how this works.

31
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.340
It's not like Taylor said, how about Nikki Glaser? Somebody

32
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.780
in Hollywood put this together for you. We know how

33
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.579
this works. The source says the joke going around is

34
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.219
that Meghan Markle knew the celebrities at her wedding better

35
00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:49.140
than Taylor knew some of hers. For Taylor, that comparison

36
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.579
is absolutely mortifying. A wonderful story, which makes a great

37
00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:55.510
crossover story with the Palace Intrigue podcast. I'm the writer

38
00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:57.730
on that one. We talk about the royal family and

39
00:01:57.750 --> 00:01:59.530
a lot of Meghan Markle seven days a week. So

40
00:01:59.549 --> 00:02:01.829
check out Palace Intrigue wherever you get your pods. The

41
00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:03.989
insider said Nikki made the wedding sound less like a

42
00:02:04.010 --> 00:02:07.890
celebration and more like celebrity casting. Yeah, that's what it was.

43
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.069
It was a wedding experience. officiated by Adam Sandler at

44
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:14.669
Madison Square Garden. That's what this was. Some guests don't

45
00:02:14.689 --> 00:02:16.930
have Taylor's number. They attended her wedding, then went right

46
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:19.550
back to being strangers. Yeah, no kidding. Dave Chappelle has

47
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:22.629
announced an arena tour. Pretty exciting. One of the dates

48
00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:25.530
is at the New York Comedy Festival. Carolyn Hirsch, who

49
00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:27.960
founded it, said Dave is one of the defining comedians

50
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.520
of his generation, and without question, one of the greatest

51
00:02:30.539 --> 00:02:32.699
stand-up comedians of all time. To have Dave close out

52
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.680
his tour by opening our festival is spectacular. So this

53
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.629
is The New York Comedy Festival stepping up. This is

54
00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:40.710
a whole other level. I've commented about the New York

55
00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:46.340
Comedy Festival. The lineup so far had been underwhelming. But no, yeah,

56
00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:47.879
Dave is the ace. Yeah, it just took a step

57
00:02:47.939 --> 00:02:50.960
up in class. It's a short tour. October 20th in

58
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.020
Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena. The next night in Charlotte.

59
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.979
Then on the 23rd of October, Toronto. Then back down

60
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.490
to Louisville, Kentucky. Down to Austin, Texas on Monday, October 26th.

61
00:03:01.550 --> 00:03:03.610
I wonder if we'll get a Kill Tony appearance out

62
00:03:03.629 --> 00:03:06.439
of Dave Chappelle while he's in Joe Rogan land. Wednesday

63
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.419
the 28th, Houston, Texas, and then Friday, November 6th, Madison

64
00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:12.689
Square Garden as part of the New York Comedy Festival.

65
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.310
That's great. Howard Stern is allegedly puzzled by fans being frustrated.

66
00:03:17.389 --> 00:03:19.870
A source told the U.S. Sun that Howard Stern reads

67
00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:22.889
everything and then everything is in all caps the second time.

68
00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:26.129
And Howard wants to control what's being reported. The source

69
00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:28.960
notes that Howard was apoplectic over the negative reaction to

70
00:03:28.969 --> 00:03:31.620
the news of the sudden termination of his archival channel

71
00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:34.449
Howard 101. and that his show would now broadcast just

72
00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:38.060
one day a week. Stern also doesn't get why staffers

73
00:03:38.090 --> 00:03:41.780
laid off would be disgruntled. So, look, I've said this

74
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.960
in the past. Howard paid me the compliment of my

75
00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:46.259
career when I met Howard. He told me that the

76
00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:49.590
Raw Dog channel at Sirius was a great-sounding radio station,

77
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.830
and for one of my radio heroes to tell me

78
00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:53.550
that a station I was in charge of sounded great

79
00:03:53.930 --> 00:03:57.060
means the world to me. Howard is now 72 and

80
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.219
he's been making reportedly $ 100 million a year for 15

81
00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:03.360
or so years now. Or is it 20? I think

82
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.800
it's more like 20 now. So he doesn't need the money.

83
00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:07.860
It's time to put your feet up and he doesn't

84
00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:10.020
want to totally walk away. So he's doing the show

85
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.219
once a week from the house. So, yeah, you don't

86
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.360
need a second channel recapping three hours of programming for

87
00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:18.350
there's 168 hours in a week. What do you want

88
00:04:18.370 --> 00:04:20.750
Howard 101 to do all day? And if you're doing

89
00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:24.170
three hours down from 20 or 15 or 12 or

90
00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:26.829
whatever it's been over the years, unfortunately, people are going

91
00:04:26.910 --> 00:04:30.410
to get laid off. Now, as for this new HBO show,

92
00:04:30.550 --> 00:04:32.250
I saw the promo for it and I thought it

93
00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:35.110
looked like the opposite of cool. I've talked about this

94
00:04:35.149 --> 00:04:38.709
in the past. Howard Stern in his heyday, I don't know,

95
00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:42.019
let's pick a random morning in 1993, would hate Howard

96
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.779
Stern of 2026. The current Howard Stern is everything the

97
00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:48.519
young Howard Stern hated. The new show on HBO Max, again,

98
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.360
the promo looks so lame. is according to the source,

99
00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.399
Stern's method of holding up the middle finger to Sirius XM.

100
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.800
An insider told the Daily Mail, Howard's in a really

101
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.620
good mood with his new HBO deal. He feels like

102
00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:00.199
it's a big middle finger to all his critics who

103
00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:02.350
either want him done or think that he's done. We

104
00:05:02.370 --> 00:05:05.290
will see. Chris Rock says, if Taylor Sheridan's got a

105
00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:07.470
job for me, I'll take that job. He joked he

106
00:05:07.509 --> 00:05:10.290
could become the black guy on Yellowstone. That's a great joke.

107
00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:13.620
He didn't stop there. He imagined playing a black landowner

108
00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:16.540
who owns property and has white slaves. Now, that would

109
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.430
probably get a lot of attention. The comedian then joked

110
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:22.370
that he encouraged Taylor Sheridan to make an entire show

111
00:05:22.509 --> 00:05:25.500
around that idea. I would watch that. Joe Coy's new

112
00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.040
special's out on Netflix. He got a cover story from

113
00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:31.180
the Vogue Philippines edition. I didn't know there was Vogue Philippines,

114
00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:33.439
but there is. Joe said it sucks because once this

115
00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:35.420
special drops, I have to say goodbye to these jokes.

116
00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:37.540
I've been attached to them for so long. When it

117
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.500
comes to approaching his specials, he says he wants them

118
00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:42.120
to reflect the newer version of himself. And for his

119
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.439
routine to evolve the same way he has, he has

120
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.639
to try new things on top of the previous special.

121
00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:48.779
One of his favorite things about the new special on

122
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.480
Netflix is the arena, Stockton Arena. You see, Stockton was

123
00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:55.540
once home to the largest population of Filipinos outside the Philippines.

124
00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:58.879
In the early 1900s, young Filipino men came to California

125
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.079
to work as the primary agricultural workforce harvesting crops in

126
00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:04.819
the Central Valley. Jokoi said some of the migrants that

127
00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:06.810
were there a long time ago faced a lot and

128
00:06:06.850 --> 00:06:09.449
dealt with a lot of racism back then. We understand

129
00:06:09.490 --> 00:06:11.050
that what happened was bad, but now we have to

130
00:06:11.089 --> 00:06:13.410
realize that it's not going to be repeated anymore. We

131
00:06:13.430 --> 00:06:16.170
just sold out an arena. Behind me is the Filipino sun.

132
00:06:16.649 --> 00:06:18.709
Jokoy also said, He also described his career as a

133
00:06:18.709 --> 00:06:20.290
long journey with many challenges. Now, you may recall one

134
00:06:20.350 --> 00:06:21.850
of the challenges was one time he hosted the Golden

135
00:06:21.870 --> 00:06:24.120
Globes and just told this horrible mean joke about Taylor Swift.

136
00:06:35.689 --> 00:06:38.670
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.

137
00:06:39.350 --> 00:06:42.149
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.

138
00:06:42.670 --> 00:06:46.029
On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots.

139
00:06:45.829 --> 00:06:49.189
Of Taylor Swift. I swear. There's just more to go to.

140
00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:54.370
Sorry about that. In 2027, Joe Coy will be honored

141
00:06:54.410 --> 00:06:56.689
with a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He said,

142
00:06:56.709 --> 00:06:59.250
I can't wait for that day to happen. Dreams come true, baby.

143
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.060
Conan O'Brien getting political. He is now the face of

144
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.699
a fundraising campaign for the State Plus Local Election Alliance,

145
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.170
a political action committee that puts money into low-profile state

146
00:07:09.189 --> 00:07:12.310
and local races involving the officials who oversee elections. Conan

147
00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:14.029
O'Brien put out a few videos, and one he said,

148
00:07:14.069 --> 00:07:16.850
if anyone appreciates something unsexy, it's this guy right here.

149
00:07:16.910 --> 00:07:18.310
So when I heard there's a group that only backs

150
00:07:18.329 --> 00:07:22.329
the unsexy races, county clerks, election boards, local courts, I thought, finally,

151
00:07:22.509 --> 00:07:25.120
my people. These are the offices that decide whether your

152
00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:28.860
vote gets cast, counted, and certified. In another commercial, Conan

153
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.459
made fun of the idea that anyone would turn to

154
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.199
him for guidance on politics. Conan jokes, I must have

155
00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:35.420
Conan's political advice as a thought that has never crossed

156
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.420
your mind, and it shouldn't have. Yet here we are,

157
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:38.939
because I just learned something smart and I want to

158
00:07:38.990 --> 00:07:42.209
share it. Margaret Cho seems fed up with the way

159
00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:44.389
things are going these days. She says, we are being

160
00:07:44.449 --> 00:07:46.230
taken over by the richest people in the world, but

161
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.629
the one thing they cannot afford is jokes at their expense.

162
00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:52.199
I want to fight fascism with everything I have. Jeff

163
00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:55.100
Ross had a birthday and got roasted by Jim Carrey,

164
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.389
who went on social media and wrote, 61 years ago,

165
00:07:57.689 --> 00:07:59.389
a boy named Jeff Ross came into the world. I

166
00:07:59.410 --> 00:08:00.829
don't want to say he was an ugly baby, but

167
00:08:00.850 --> 00:08:03.500
when he was born, God made his mother sign an NDA,

168
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.800
and nothing's changed in that regard. In fact, it's gotten worse.

169
00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:09.129
I've seen better-looking heads on cystic acne. His spirit animal

170
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:11.800
is a blobfish, a pale, misshapen bottom feeder that makes

171
00:08:11.810 --> 00:08:14.560
you laugh just looking at it. But he's not just funny-looking.

172
00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.699
In many places around the world, people find his brand

173
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.339
of humor highly toxic, except in Japan, where his jokes

174
00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:22.339
are considered a delicacy. But there's no denying one thing, Jeff.

175
00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:25.060
You are funny. You've spent your whole life making people laugh.

176
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.839
If only it were on purpose. If only they were

177
00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:29.819
laughing with you and not, you know, at you. Jim

178
00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:32.379
Carrey added, Of course I've been half-joking this whole time,

179
00:08:32.419 --> 00:08:34.100
but before I sign off, I'd like to say one

180
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.720
thing that's sincere and meaningful, Jeff. In the time it

181
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.480
takes you to make a wish and blow out your candles,

182
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.649
I will make millions of dollars in passive income. I

183
00:08:41.669 --> 00:08:44.590
will deal with the Emmys tomorrow because I had to

184
00:08:44.649 --> 00:08:48.110
record this one on Monday because the nice people of

185
00:08:48.149 --> 00:08:50.500
New Jersey invited me to take part in the jury

186
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.019
system on Tuesday. And I don't know at the time

187
00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:55.919
of this recording if I'm available on Tuesday. We're sitting

188
00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.990
in a courthouse where you really can't record a video podcast,

189
00:08:59.009 --> 00:09:00.629
so I had to tape this one in advance. We'll

190
00:09:00.649 --> 00:09:02.970
get to the Emmys tomorrow. Catching up for the weekend,

191
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:05.980
SNL UK was pretty good. If that had been an

192
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.559
episode of SNL US, it would have been the best

193
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.929
episode of last season, so... You know, I really liked

194
00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:13.929
it a lot. It was the probably the best SNL

195
00:09:14.009 --> 00:09:16.549
UK they've had, period. Here only, you know, one episode

196
00:09:16.590 --> 00:09:18.690
in a season two. There's not a large body of work,

197
00:09:18.710 --> 00:09:22.049
but I felt like they found their voice. The news

198
00:09:22.129 --> 00:09:25.750
guys got a lot better. They have totally borrowed the

199
00:09:25.789 --> 00:09:27.720
the joke where you put something up on the screen

200
00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:30.080
behind you and you go so and so seen here.

201
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.100
Insert punchline. They use that joke, I think, three times

202
00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:35.139
during the news, but it worked perfectly. If you want

203
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.379
to dive on clips online, there's a sketch involving King

204
00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:40.399
Kong that I won't spoil. That was pretty good. Your

205
00:09:40.419 --> 00:09:43.259
host was Jeff Goldblum and an artist named C-MAT, who

206
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.379
I'm a fan of. Actually, I'm a fan of C-MAT's,

207
00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:48.389
was the musical guest. SNL UK, you'll find it on

208
00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:50.789
Hulu and the clips tend to show up on YouTube.

209
00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:54.690
A comedian branded Australia's King of Dark Comedy got some

210
00:09:54.710 --> 00:09:58.309
backlash after he did some September 11th jokes. Don't do this.

211
00:09:59.450 --> 00:10:02.360
Julian Wood posted a video on his Instagram page where

212
00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:05.320
he's seen approaching a stranger sitting on a bench. He

213
00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:07.360
asked the older man, excuse me, if science has flown

214
00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:10.299
us to the moon, where has religion flown us? The

215
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.879
punchline into the Twin Towers. So that's bad enough that

216
00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:16.129
he then opens his jacket to reveal a fake bomb

217
00:10:16.149 --> 00:10:19.490
strapped to his chest. He says, it's actually the 25th

218
00:10:19.529 --> 00:10:21.549
anniversary of 9-11 today. Did you know that? Well, I'm

219
00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:24.049
not a scientist, but I am religious. It did not

220
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:27.730
go over well on social media. One person said, stop

221
00:10:27.750 --> 00:10:30.110
making jokes about 9-11. I lost my uncle on that day.

222
00:10:30.129 --> 00:10:32.409
Another person said, do you really think this is funny?

223
00:10:32.870 --> 00:10:35.769
Another comment, I have good humor and some 9-11 humor

224
00:10:35.789 --> 00:10:38.710
is funny if made appropriately, but this isn't funny. One

225
00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:40.789
more said, I just unfollowed you. You're a disgrace to

226
00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:43.769
society and your family. In better news, we now know

227
00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:47.059
who will be on Kunk on Cinema, the upcoming newest

228
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.610
episode of Philomena Kunk's documentary series. The BBC says Philomena Kunk,

229
00:10:51.649 --> 00:10:54.460
played by Diane Morgan, who some podcasters have a crush on.

230
00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:57.529
We'll be asking experts all the hard-hitting questions about the

231
00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:00.009
history of cinema, with a list of contributors that includes

232
00:11:00.129 --> 00:11:03.850
Michael Bay, Benedict Cumberbatch, and others. The three-part series will

233
00:11:03.889 --> 00:11:05.850
uncover the invention of the camera to the new wave

234
00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:07.809
filmmakers of the 60s, right up to the entrance of

235
00:11:07.889 --> 00:11:13.269
CGI and AI. Philomena Kunk will attempt to demystify it

236
00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:16.200
all while sitting in lumpy seats with stale popcorn, asking herself,

237
00:11:16.289 --> 00:11:18.299
where did cinema come from and why, what does it want,

238
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.799
and what can it tell us? No date yet, but

239
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.100
it will be on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, and

240
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.039
if you're not in the UK or Ireland... netflix and

241
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:28.409
that is your comedy news for today see you tomorrow
