00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.160
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.199
daily comedy news. Friend of the show Jason Zeneman from
3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.760
the New York Times stirring it up. He threw down
4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:19.600
the gauntlet, and this is what people in comedy are
5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.160
talking about today. The headline from Jason Zenneman in the
6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.039
New York Times, did the worst Netflix special of the
7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.280
year win the Golden Globe? The premise that Ricky Gervay's
8
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.000
Mortality won for Best Comedy sends a message about the
9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.479
lack of respect given to stand up now. I personally
10
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.000
don't agree with Jason that it was the worst Netflix
11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.119
special of the year. I'm sure if we dove a
12
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.159
little bit, we could find a special that was worse
13
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.359
than that one. And I'll stick to my guns here.
14
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.560
On my personal list, I had Jervas at number eleven.
15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.320
Let's hear Jason out here. I respect him a lot.
16
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.439
Jason sets up his premise, awards are silly, harmless fun
17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.119
unless someone gives one to me, and they are solemn
18
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.920
business deserving of respect. That's been my position. More or less.
19
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.200
I like to watch the so the Tonys are the Oscars,
20
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:03.799
make jokes and enjoy an actorally speech as much as anyone,
21
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.640
but I don't expend much energy getting upset and justices
22
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.359
and say the best Supporting Actor category. But on Sunday,
23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.799
when the Golden Globe for Best Stand Up Comedy on
24
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.400
Television went to Ricky Gervais for the second time in
25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.159
three years, the wind shook me out of my indifference.
26
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.120
That his dismal, meandering laundry list of jokes was even
27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.319
nominated was absurd that at one perverse. Now I have
28
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.439
pre read this article, but I'll jump in here so
29
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.439
that I'm not just like reading you Jason's article. We
30
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.840
all have to understand what the Golden Globes are. It's
31
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.280
just celebrities getting drunk. It's a low rent award show.
32
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.799
Remember the Golden Globes actually went away for a little bit.
33
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.840
There was a controversy there and then they brought it back.
34
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.319
So we really can't take this too seriously. And I
35
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.439
don't think Jason is either. It's the Golden Globes. Like
36
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.359
people are wigged that Amy Poehler won Best Podcast. There
37
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.920
was no scenario where they were gonna go on. The
38
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.640
winner for best Podcast is NPR. Here's some guys who
39
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.640
record a new show at four in the morning. That
40
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.560
was never, ever, ever going to happen. I'm on record
41
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.560
saying that I've probably said it on this show. I
42
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.280
definitely said it on my substack, which is mcdeepod dot
43
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.280
substack dot com. It's free. You should subscribe. There's a
44
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.879
link in the show notes. It's the Golden Globes. The
45
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.080
only person who takes the Golden Globes seriously is, of
46
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.360
course Taylor Swift, but I'm not gonna go there today,
47
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.639
Jason Wrights. Taste is subjective, of course, but how could
48
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.919
anyone who watched more than a dozen stand with specials
49
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.319
this year think that Ricky Gervass pretentiously titled Mortality set
50
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.560
the standard wall. Here's the thing, Jason, and you and
51
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.879
I both know this, and I think you may have
52
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.479
even talked about this in your piece. The people are voting,
53
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.319
they're not watching these things. They're getting a listen and going, oh,
54
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.039
I've heard of Ricky Gervasi's very funny click. That's all
55
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.759
they're doing again. That's why Amy Poehler, and I'm not
56
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.400
saying Peopolar's podcast is bad, but it's a slam dunk.
57
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.759
Amy Poehler, who used to host the Golden Globes was
58
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.919
going to win the Golden Globes for Best Podcast. There
59
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.039
was no other scenario there. You think John Marco SARRESI
60
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.960
he had a chance to win a Golden Globe. Nobody
61
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.759
knows who that is and he's the twenty twenty six
62
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.000
Comedian of the Year. Yes, I'm correct here next paragraph,
63
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.879
Jason Rates. Maybe the fact that he hosted the Golden
64
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.120
Globes five times earned him goodwill me Poler another former
65
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.680
host who won the first Globe for podcasting on Sunday
66
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.039
Bingo and Bingo. And yet the celebration of one of
67
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.840
the worst Netflix specials of the year sends a different
68
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.319
message about the lack of respect afforded stand up skipping
69
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.400
ahead mortality. Is Jervas mailing it in getting some of
70
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.520
his biggest laughs with lines delivered years ago at the
71
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.039
Golden Globes. I don't disagree with that. So I watched
72
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.919
the special and it was Ricky doing what Ricky does,
73
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.000
and I laughed a couple times. No new ground there,
74
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.639
it was just him doing his I'm gonna say something outrageous.
75
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.080
You're going to be outraged that I said something outrageous,
76
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.080
And I'm going to point out to you how outrageous
77
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.680
your outrage about my outrage is. It's just what he does.
78
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.319
Zenniman rights, no one plays the victim with more persistence
79
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.280
than jervas well, maybe Chappelle does. They've tried to cancel
80
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.280
me for fifteen years, he says in the special. Who
81
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.719
has not Netflix, which pumps out of specials every couple
82
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.000
of years. Maybe the Golden Globes. No, he says, not
83
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.719
a single punch line he wrote for them was cut.
84
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.080
He can't even commit to his own nonsense, skipping down?
85
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.960
Why does this matter? Badter, boring art gets rewarded with
86
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.120
prizes all the time. No one takes the Golden Globe
87
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.319
seriously right. Part of the issue is that, in a
88
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.919
culture that pays so much attention to award show, stand
89
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.439
up comedy doesn't have its own, and the awards that
90
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.960
do celebrate specials pit comics against other entertainers. The Emmys
91
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.639
or focus on albums. The Grammys. I wish, Jason, I
92
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.920
wish the Grammys focused on albums. They don't. The Grammys
93
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.920
focuses on Netflix specials. Yeah, I get on my soapbox
94
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.480
about that. Every single year, somebody should put out a
95
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.319
comedy album, and we could give it a Grammy. Good
96
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.279
paragraph here from Jason. I mean they're all good. I'd
97
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.120
like Jason's work, and I don't mean to dig the
98
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.560
other paragraphs. I just particularly like this one. If you
99
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.519
were a casual fan using Awards as a guide to
100
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.639
the best in the field, you might think that Gervais
101
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.000
is on historic run and that is oblivious, rich guy.
102
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.160
Observational humor is what passes for excellence. This is not
103
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.319
a good advertisement for the art form. He's right there.
104
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.879
But again, it's the Golden Globes. They're going right down
105
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.360
the middle. They're gonna do the obvious good piece there
106
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.079
in the New York Times. I encourage you to read
107
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.959
it in full. Speaking of award show right on time,
108
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.680
I mentioned this yesterday the Grammy Awards must been listening.
109
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.759
They announced Trevor Noah we'll be back to host the
110
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.480
Grammy Awards. It is Trevor Noah's sixth appearance. It will
111
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.160
also be his quote unquote final time. Now here's why
112
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.639
Trevor began hosting the Grammys for CBS in the first place.
113
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.480
You may recall Trevor Noah was a host of the
114
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.199
Daily Show. That's on Comedy Central, and both Comedy Central
115
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.959
and CBS owned by paramounts, so there's some synergy there.
116
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.800
But now the Grammy Awards are leaving CBS. They're heading
117
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.279
to ABC and they'll be on ABC for ten years.
118
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.720
Maybe we'll see Jimmy Kimmel hosting the Grammys. Who knows. Anyway,
119
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.399
I'm a big fan of Trevor and happy to have
120
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.160
him back. ABC would be smart to grab him if
121
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.160
he's willing to do it. Netflix announced a deal with
122
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.120
Shane Gillis. As part of the deal, we learned that
123
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.800
production on Tires season three is underway and that's part
124
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.120
of an overall new Netflix deal with Shane Gillis and
125
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.480
John McKeever. The duo will develop film series and unscripted
126
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.800
projects for Netflix, and we'll get two more Netflix specials
127
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.199
out of Shane Gillis. Season three of Tires will be
128
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.879
twelve episodes. Thomas Hayden Church, who plays Shane's dad, is
129
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.439
promoted to series regular. Tracy Pecosta's VP comedy series at Netflix,
130
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.439
and you can tell she feels the vibe with this quote.
131
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.759
Shane Gillis's unapologetic comedy and neck for finding humor in
132
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.160
everyday life is what sets him apart. With Tires, he
133
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.319
and John McKeever have turned that same raw, unfiltered energy
134
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.920
into a show that feels familiar to many people. Shane,
135
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.439
giving a much better quote, said, Yeah, working with Netflix
136
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.959
is great. It'd be cool to shoot season three at
137
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.800
Tire soon. That's how you do it. I hate the
138
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.920
corporate quotes. They always just sound so soulless. Now here's
139
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.000
an interesting note some people on threads talking about this.
140
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.639
The article is about the revamp of CBS News, and
141
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.560
not everybody likes what they've done so far. Nicki Glazer
142
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.560
made fun of it on The Golden Globes her punchline,
143
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.680
c BS News now deep into this article, but this
144
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.120
is being talked about on comedy threads. A list of
145
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.480
some of the people that Barry Weiss, the new boss
146
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.160
of CBS News, brought from her previous gig at the
147
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.399
Free Press. One of those folks is Sasha Seinfeld. Now,
148
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.519
Sasha Seinfeld has a dad named Jerry. I just thought
149
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.839
that was interesting, would share it. Speaking of Jerry, Radar
150
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.480
Online reports that Jerry Seinfeld is hitting the gym because Jerry,
151
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.360
who's seventy one, somehow is paranoid about his health and
152
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.759
worried that he could develop dementia. An insider tells Radar Online,
153
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.639
Jerry's in the gym every day and working hard to
154
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.959
maintain his looks and fitness, probably for different reasons that
155
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.920
you think. Jerry intends to keep performing live as long
156
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.439
as he can, and that requires real physical strength, not
157
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.439
for just being up on stage, but also to handle
158
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.079
the travel and logistics of being a headlining performer. But
159
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.839
he's putting in the hours and hitting the weights like
160
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.759
never before because he wants to be around for his
161
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.319
wife and kids, and he's deathly afraid of things like dementia, cancer, osteoporosis,
162
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.199
and Parkinson's disease. He's seen too many of us role
163
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.319
models struck down by these things to just ignore his
164
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.720
health or leave it to fate. The same report says
165
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.600
wife Jessica Seinfeld prides herself a great cook, but it's
166
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.560
down to Jerry, and Jerry alone put in the hours
167
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.120
at his home gym, had to stay as sharp as possible.
168
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.439
He's taken this mission incredibly seriously. It's become a hobby.
169
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.759
He's as passionate about as he is about his collection
170
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.360
of exotic cars. He wakes up at the crack of
171
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.360
dawn for a punishing workout, and he's done by the
172
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.759
time Jessica has his breakfast hot and ready for him.
173
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.279
A couple jokes from Late Night Seth Myers said, President
174
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.399
Trump posted a screenshot of his Wikipedia profile on truth
175
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.639
Social over the weekend that showed him listed as the
176
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.120
acting president of Venezuela. Not many people can say they
177
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.279
were the worst president in the history of two countries.
178
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.919
John Stewart asked, doesn't your oath of office to America
179
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.720
have a non compete? Are you playing Comedy Survivor with us?

181
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.159
is Daily Comedy News podcast group. Scroll down there you'll
182
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.159
find a picture of me extinguishing Amy Schumer's torch. She
183
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.279
was voted off last week. It looks like this week
184
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.679
Joe Coy and Adam Sailor could be in a little trouble.
185
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.600
So if you want to save them, you're gonna have
186
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.879
to rally some friends and get them to the Facebook
187
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.600
group to vote somebody else off. But looks like could
188
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.240
be Coy, could be Sandler. We'll see Outsiday. On the
189
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.960
eight hundred pound gorilla. Craig Ferguson's I'm So Happy. Craig
190
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.080
Ferguson is a good stand up You should watch that special.
191
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.759
Amy Schumer likes when we talk about her, so she
192
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.879
goes on Instagram. Last week, on her Instagram Stories, she
193
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.840
posted herself wearing a baggy, comfortable outfit that was captured
194
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.840
in photos and reported on by The Daily Mail. Amy
195
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.360
made fun of The Daily Mail's caption and copied it,
196
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.159
writing the comedian opted for comfort. Amy added the comment
197
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.559
line up boys in the photo. Amy Schumer's bundled up
198
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.240
in an oversized winter coat, layings, a hoodie, and black
199
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.200
running shoes. Bad news for Tom Brady. Chelsea Handler does
200
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.919
not want to date him. She told a radio show.
201
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.159
I have no interest in Tom Brady. I don't find
202
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.519
him dynamic, hot, interesting or fun. I find him so boring.
203
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.080
Bill Maher on his podcast said, I've been nominated for
204
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.320
thirty three Emmys and they would never give it to me.
205
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.240
That's not a gag number, that's a real number. It's crazy. Obviously,
206
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.480
it's something I say said. Well, it's everything I said
207
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.960
because I speak freely, and this woke down effing hates that.
208
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.000
That's okay. I've made my peace with that and Scott Adams,
209
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.000
the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, passed away of
210
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.080
prostate cancer. He was sixty eight. His wife, Shelley, read
211
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.360
a statement on his livestream channel. Scott wrote it before
212
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.240
passing away. It read, if you're reading this, things didn't
213
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.720
go well for me. I have a few things to
214
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.960
say before I go. My body failed before my brain.
215
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.559
I'm of sound mind as I write this January first,
216
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.440
twenty twenty six. Then he got into his estate. I
217
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.159
had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had.
218
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.039
Be useful, and please know that I loved you all
219
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.919
to the very end. At its peak, Dilbert was in
220
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.559
two thousand newspapers, but in twenty twenty three The Syndicator
221
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.919
dropped the comic strip following remarks made by Scott Adams.
222
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:54.039
The comments I'll personally editorialize are a racist and very hateful,
223
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.080
and thus I won't repeat them. Scott Adams was sixty eight.
224
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.200
And that is your daily comedy news for today. See
225
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:00.600
