Johnny Mac hosts the first-ever 2026 Daily Comedy News Comedy Draft, a sports-style draft where five teams build the ultimate comedy roster. Team Analytics, Team Purist, Team Chaos, Team Industry, and Team Alt each select five comedians, filling out a lineup with a headliner, feature acts, a wildcard, and a legacy pick.

Strategies clash as some teams draft for ticket sales, others for stand-up credibility, and one team just tries to break the internet.

Who built the best roster? Who reached? Who got the steal of the draft?

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:15.919
Calaroga Shark Media. Welcome to the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft.

2
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.239
I am your host, Johnny Mack. Now what we're doing

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.039
today is we are drafting comedians the way say football

4
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.559
teams draft players. We're building rosters, making strategic decisions, and yes,

5
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.399
overreacting to every single pick in the Facebook group Delly

6
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.200
Comedy News podcast group. Here's how this is going to go.

7
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.679
We have five teams. Each team will draft five comedians

8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.759
to build out their roster. Your roster needs to include

9
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.479
one headliner, two feature acts, one wildcard, and one legacy pick.

10
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.200
This is a snake draft, so we'll go one through

11
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.880
five and then five through one, et cetera, et cetera.

12
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.880
Now you might be cynical and say, Johnny Mack, did

13
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.840
you have a routine colonoscopy scheduled for this week and

14
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.600
you needed a bit to retape a show? Perhaps, But

15
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.759
it's also the NFL Draft today, so I thought this

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:05.599
would be fun. This is something we used to do

17
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.280
with serious million years ago. We used to have actual

18
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.239
comedians come in in draft teams. Some years it worked great.

19
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.760
Some years the comedians were just annoying and wouldn't go

20
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.560
with the bit comedians can be annoying. So what I've

21
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.760
done here is I have asked the AI to take

22
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.879
on several personas. I am not steering this. This is

23
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.319
all AI, and I'll explain to you who the teams

24
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.359
are and who the mindsets are. And I have not

25
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.480
read this ahead. I'm generating this as we go. So

26
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.319
welcome to the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft. Let's meet

27
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:41.159
the teams. Team Analytics. They're all about the numbers, ticket sales,

28
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.000
streaming views, social media reach. They're not here to be cool.

29
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.519
They're here to win. If you could sell out an arena,

30
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.920
they're interested in you. If you can't, you're.

31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.079
Not on their board.

32
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.519
Next up, Team Purist all about stand up comedy as

33
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.120
an art form, craft, respect, legacy. Team Purist values what

34
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.519
happens on stage. If you built your career on TikTok,

35
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:11.000
they don't care. Next up, Team Chaos. They want headlines, controversy,

36
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.919
viral moments, big personalities. They are not building the best

37
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.039
comedy lineup, they're building the most talked about comedy lineup.

38
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.159
Then there's Team Industry.

39
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.520
Think of this about the suits, the agents, those guys,

40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.560
versatility matters, stand up acting, writing, podcasting.

41
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.759
It's all about your portfolio.

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.159
Team Industry is thinking about long term value, not just

43
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.919
tonight's show. And then finally, we have a team alternative

44
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.719
the indie room, the old comedy scene. Bai has gannarrated

45
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.639
the draft order. With the first pick, Team Analytics will

46
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.400
be on the clock. And with that, let us begin

47
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.319
the twenty twenty six comedy Draft.

48
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:02.479
With the first pick.

49
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.039
In the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft, Team Analytics picks

50
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:14.599
Kevin Hart's Kevin Hart goes number one overall.

51
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.400
Now think about it.

52
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.360
This is Team Analytics, Global star, Massive Box Office sells

53
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.800
out arenas roast of Kevin Hart movies, TV shows, Netflix

54
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.159
Show Safe pick Yeah, effective pick. Yes, Kevin Hart goes

55
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.719
number one overall in the twenty twenty six comedy Draft.

56
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:32.400
What do you think?

57
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.080
Facebook Group, Daily Comedy News podcast group. All right, it

58
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.319
is time for the second pick, Team Purist. You're now

59
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.080
on the clock. With the number two pick in the

60
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:55.400
comedy Draft, Team Purist takes Dave Chappelle. There it is

61
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.719
statement pick, legacy, influence, undeniable on stage. Purist is not

62
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.639
messing around. Good solid pick there. I thought Dave Chappelle

63
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.840
would go number one. But you can't argue with Kevin Hart.

64
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.680
Dave Chappelle goes number two. Team Chaos. You are now

65
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:18.040
on the clock with the third pick in the twenty

66
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:26.040
twenty six Comedy Draft. Team Chaos picks Shane Gillis. Oh,

67
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.839
that's a strong pick, huge fan base, little edge, a

68
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.959
little controversy. Team Chaos playing for the Internet and I

69
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:34.480
got one of the biggest draws out there.

70
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.800
Good solid pick.

71
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.279
Shane gillis number three overall in the twenty twenty six

72
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.240
Comedy Draft. Onto the fourth pick it is. Team Industry

73
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:52.519
is now on the clock with the fourth pick overall.

74
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.519
Team Industry picks Alli Wong.

75
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:55.199
Wow.

76
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.480
Wow, interesting pick there, But they are Team Industry. Ali

77
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.079
Wang does stand up acts rights. Let's see what Team

78
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.759
Industry is up to. A lot of I don't know

79
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.279
about that pick. I mean, there's so many other comedians

80
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.079
on the board. And Allie Wang going with the four overall.

81
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.959
What do you think? Facebook group, Dally Comedy news podcast group.

82
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:26.360
And that puts Team Alternative on the clock and with

83
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.360
the number five pick overall in the twenty twenty six

84
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.240
Comedy Draft, Team Alternative picks Nicki Glazer.

85
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.360
Wow, interesting choice.

86
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.839
I don't really think of her as Alt, but the

87
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.839
Team Alternative is telling me she kills it ROAs is fearless,

88
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.920
she could play mainstream rooms, n be edgy and it's

89
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.839
a smart bridge Team Alternative. Wow, I have some other

90
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.759
names that I thought they would have gone with there,

91
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.759
but okay, So to recap your top five picks in

92
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.720
the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle,

93
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.879
Sheen Gillis, Alli Wang, and Nicky Glazer right onto round two.

94
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.079
This is a snake draft, so we'll go in reverse order.

95
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.439
With the sixth pick in the comedy Draft, Team Alternative

96
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.720
picks Chris Fleming. Yeah, that tracks unique voice alt scene favorite.

97
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.120
And now you've got a show with Nicky Glazer and

98
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.800
Chris Fleming on it. That's a pretty weird, interesting show

99
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.560
that you probably want to see. That puts Team Industry

100
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.959
back on the clock. With the number seven pick, Team

101
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:37.360
Industry picks John Mullaney, absolutely a steal at number seven.

102
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.199
Their line up so far, Ali Wang and John Mullaney. Surprise,

103
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.600
Mullaney didn't go in the first round, right, but Mlanie's

104
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.680
still sitting there at the seven.

105
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.199
Good pick there. That puts Team Chaos on the clock.

106
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.759
Here in round two, and with the eighth pick overall,

107
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.360
Team Chaos picks.

108
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.560
Andrew Schultz. SNeW again.

109
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.839
We're making lineups here Team Chaos with Shane Gillis and

110
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.439
Andrew Schultz. That's a hell of a one to two

111
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.959
podcast clips, controversy all together all right. With the number

112
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:15.519
nine big overall, Team Purist is on the clock. They

113
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:22.079
take Bill Burr. Oh no, the Bill Burr haters are

114
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.879
still mad that Bill Burr played the Riod Comedy Festival.

115
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.360
But Bill Burr joins Team Purist with Dave Chappelle. That's

116
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.279
a killer lineup. No gimmicks, no fluff, just stand up.

117
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.439
I mean, whatever you think about Riod, Chappelle and Burr.

118
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.519
That's quite a team. And the final pick of the

119
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:46.879
second round it's Team Analytics. Can they select Jim Gaffigan. Yeah,

120
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.959
you can't argue with that, another guy who could have

121
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.040
gone in the first round. Clean, massive audience. They'll sell

122
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.879
you some bourbon and you've got a lineup of Kevin

123
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.199
Hart and Jim Gaffigan. A little artistically wonky, but boy,

124
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:06.000
that is a very very sellable lineup. We'll take the

125
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.040
break there and we'll come back and we'll look at

126
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:22.639
round three of the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft. All right,

127
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.759
as we head in a round three, let's just reset

128
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.160
where we are, what we're building. Each team is drafting

129
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.040
five comedians, one headliner, two feature acts, one wild card,

130
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:30.879
and a legacy pick.

131
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.480
We are almost halfway through.

132
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.600
The Team Analytics has Kevin Hart and Jim Gaffigan, Team

133
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.759
Purist has Dave Chappelle and Built Burg, Team Chaos has

134
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.559
Shane Gillison Andrew Schultz, Team Industry Ali Wong and John mulaney,

135
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.440
and Team Alternative at Nicky Glazer and Chris Fleming. On

136
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.600
to round three. It is the eleventh overall pick, the

137
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:55.799
first pick of the third round, and Team Analytics picks

138
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.919
Matt Rife.

139
00:08:58.320 --> 00:08:59.200
Wow.

140
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.799
The Analytics crowd looking at it, and they're dipping into

141
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.600
a younger viral audience. Matt Rife brings a huge social following.

142
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.399
What do you think of that, Kevin Hart, Jim Gavigan,

143
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.519
Matt Rife. That's gonna set a lot of tickets. On

144
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.720
to the twelfth pick overall. Here in the third round,

145
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.840
it's Team Purist, and Team Purist is on the clock

146
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:17.639
and they pick.

147
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.200
Mark Marin.

148
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:25.279
Yeah, that fits stand up credibility, long career, not flashy,

149
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.240
very on brand. For Team Purist, Mark Maren joins, Dave

150
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:35.639
Chappelle and Bill Burr. Next up, Team Chaos on the

151
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:40.559
Clock and they select theo Vaughn. Yeah, that makes sense,

152
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:46.720
Andrew Sheltsching gill Us, Theovaughn chaotic think of the social

153
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.720
media love that pick, all right? The fourteen overall it

154
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.399
is Team Industry. Team Industries. Just a bunch of suits.

155
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.480
They don't care, They just want to make bucks. And

156
00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:01.679
they are picking Trevor Noah, Global appeal, hosting, ability, mainstream recognition,

157
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.399
Team Industry thinking about more than just stand up. Good

158
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.519
solid pick. And the final pick of the third round,

159
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.080
it's Team Alternative and they.

160
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.039
Pick Robbie Hoffman.

161
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.480
Yeah, Robbie, that absolutely makes sense for a Team Alternative,

162
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.799
unique boys, strong point of view. Still a little weird

163
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.320
that they've got Nicki Glazer on top of their team,

164
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.879
But Nicki Glazer, Chris Fleming, Robbie Hoffin a solid team.

165
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.840
That is the end of the third round. On to

166
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.279
Round four. Most teams now have their core. We'll see

167
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.639
if it gets a little more interesting here. We'll see

168
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440
what the wild cards who they come out with. Team

169
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.759
Alternative on the clock in our Snake Draft, and with

170
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:45.559
the sixteenth pick Indie Comedy Draft, Team Alternative picks Maria

171
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:51.799
bamf for all time, all choice Original, deeply respected and

172
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.039
this is a lineup that other comedians are going to respect.

173
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.080
Very interesting.

174
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.480
Team Alternative is Nicki Glazer, Chris Fleming, Robbie Hoffman, and

175
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.120
now Marie A.

176
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:00.720
Bamford.

177
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.000
And that brings us to the seventeenth pick. Team Industry.

178
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.960
They are a bunch of suits and they're gonna go

179
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.600
with Hassan Minhaj. Yeah, that makes sense. It fits their

180
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.080
whole thing, stand up storytelling, a little edge TV presence.

181
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.159
Hassan Minhaj joins Ali Wong, John Maliny, and Trevor Noah.

182
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.279
Now with the eighteenth.

183
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.639
Pick overall, here in the fourth round, it's Team Chaos

184
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.759
on the clock and they select Berg Kraser. Of course

185
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:36.000
they do take your shirt off, everybody. Bg Kraser joins

186
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.600
Shane Gillis Andrew Schultz at THEO Vaughn. That's kind of

187
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.440
a thing, right, Yeah, that makes sense, right, Team Purist

188
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.679
and now on the clock and with the nineteenth pick overall,

189
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:49.879
they take Wanda psychsw That's.

190
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.919
A I don't know what to say about that pick.

191
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.240
I'm not sure I like that pick by Team Purist,

192
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.399
Chappelle Burn, Aaron Wanda Psych Not sure that totally goes

193
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.440
sir right, but let me know what to think Facebook

194
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.159
or Daily Comedy News podcast group.

195
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.080
And with the final pick of the fourth.

196
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:14.679
Round, it's Team Analytics and they select Gabriel Iglecias. Of

197
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.679
course they do massive fan base, global draw, ticket sales,

198
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.320
analytics doing what analytics does.

199
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:23.120
Kevin Heart, Jim.

200
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.200
Gaffick and Matt Rife, Gabriel Iglesias, the analytics people are

201
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.639
going to make bank. And with that we are up

202
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.480
to the final round of the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft.

203
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.720
Here in this round, you were taking a legacy a comedian.

204
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.000
Team Analytics on the clock. They have crunched the numbers

205
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.480
and they select with the twenty first pick overall in

206
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:56.519
the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft, Jerry Seinfeld, the safest pick, imaginable,

207
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.519
name recognition, history, global appeal. You can't are argue with that.

208
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.240
And I think that Jerry Seinfeld still sitting there at

209
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:09.360
number twenty one, and that brings us to the twenty

210
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.639
second overall pick. Here in the fifth round, it's Team

211
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.759
purist to their final pick is Chris Rock. Yeah, I mean,

212
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.159
how is Chris Brock still sitting there in the draft? Right,

213
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.399
one of the most important voices in Stand Up, Great Lineup. Okay,

214
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.519
Team Chaos, it is your pick. With the twenty third

215
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.039
pick overall in the twenty twenty six in comedy Draft.

216
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:35.200
Team Chaos picks Ricky Gervai. Wow, all right, they just

217
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.080
threw gasoline on the fire.

218
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.480
Love it.

219
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.080
That's a fun show when we get to the end

220
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.399
of the round, or remind you of who all the

221
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.600
teams are. But we'll move on to the twenty fourth

222
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.279
pick in the twenty twenty six comedy Draft. It's Team

223
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.639
Industry there on the clock and they go with wait

224
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.840
is this right? Yeah, I'm told this is right. Okay,

225
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.159
they have drafted a famous dramatic actor, Adam Sandler.

226
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.039
I'm not really sure what they're doing that.

227
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.840
He's not really a funny person, but okay, that's you know,

228
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.840
Team Industry. I guess they figure they can get a

229
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.840
Netflix deal out of it.

230
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:07.960
Okay, makes sense.

231
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.840
And then it is the final overall pick in the

232
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:16.919
twenty twenty six comedy Draft. Team Alts on the clock

233
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:24.559
and they select Comedy Survivor winners. Sarah Silverman. Sarah Silverman

234
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:29.919
a great closer, alt roots, mainstream crossover, still active, still evolving,

235
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.440
Perfect for that roster. Sarah Silverman the final pick in

236
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:42.000
the twenty twenty six comedy Draft. So what do you think?

237
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.519
Facebook Group, Daily Comedy News podcast Group. Let's take a

238
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.679
look at the teams again. It is Team Analytics. Kevin Hart,

239
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.000
Jim Gaffigan, Matt Rife, gab Iglesias, and Jerry Seinfeld. That's

240
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.919
gonna sell a ton of tickets. The only knock Maybe

241
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.559
it's a little safe, not much edge there, but if

242
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.039
you want to sell tickets, that team's gonna win. A

243
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.120
team purist for the comedy snobs. Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr,

244
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.559
Mark Marin, Wanda Sykes, and Chris Rock all command respect

245
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.360
in the comedy industry. The downside, they're all very different stylistically.

246
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.679
That shows a little all over the place onto Team Chaos.

247
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.480
This team is insane, sing Gillisanders Schultz, the ovon Berg, Kreischer,

248
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.759
Ricky Gervais. You want clips, you want headlines, you want controversy.

249
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.840
The Internet's gonna love this team. If your goal's attention,

250
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.159
this team might dominate the entire Comedy League here, Team Industry.

251
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.159
Now again the suits that they don't care, They just

252
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.240
want to make money off people. And it's Ali Wong,

253
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.679
John Mulaney, Trevor Noah, Hasan Minhaj and Adam Sandler. This

254
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.519
team can do everything stand up, acting, hosting, writing, No

255
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.080
weakness there. Every pick makes sense. It's a brand, it's

256
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.799
a network, it's a platform. It's a smart team. Not

257
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.279
sure how exciting it is, but you know that's how

258
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.960
the industry guys go. And if that's not cool for you,

259
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.159
then root for Team Alternative. Nicky Glazer, Chris Robbie Hoffman,

260
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.559
Maria Bamford, and Sarah Silverman. Smart, weird, sharp, unpredictable. How

261
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.879
do you think they did? Go over to the Facebook

262
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:13.200

263
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.200
teams there so you can comment. And that is a

264
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.200
wrap on the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft and hopefully

265
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:21.279
on my colin Oscarbae see tomorrow
