Callaroga Shark Media.
2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.679
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.960
The eighty third Golden Globe Ceremony will air on CBS Sunday,
4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.039
January eleventh. You may recall two years ago Joe Coy
5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:20.839
hosted it and told it's just a terrible, mean joke
6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.760
about tailor shift, but I don't have time for that today.
7
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.920
This year's host is Nicky Glazer, and let's take a
8
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.679
look at some of the comedy nominations will begin with
9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.920
Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on Television. The nominees
10
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.479
are Bill Maher for is anyone else seeing this? And
11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.759
I think the answer there is no. I haven't seen
12
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.200
anyone talk about that special all year. Also nominated Brett
13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.560
Goldstein The Second Best Night of Your Life. I like
14
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.439
that special lot, Kevin Hart acting My Age, which I
15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.679
have as my number two special. And again I'll put
16
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.840
out my list on Saturday. Kamil nan Gianni's Ninth Thoughtsparently
17
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.359
people seem to like this one where his press people
18
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.119
are good. A lot of buzz on that one. It's
19
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.640
coming out on Hulu later in the month. Rick Gervai's
20
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.319
Mortality and Sarah Silverman's post Mortem, which was really good,
21
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.519
or I'd out of Mark Goldstein, Hart, Kamal, Ricky, Sarah.
22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.959
So I think artistically I like Sarah's the best, but
23
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.840
in terms of just my ranking, I have Kevin Hart
24
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:17.760
top of this group, I guess would have to give
25
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.519
it to Kevin Hart. I kind of want to give
26
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.200
it to Sarah, but that doesn't make sense if I
27
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.000
have Kevin ranked higher than Sarah. How do you judge that?
28
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.760
Are we just going by funniest or should I go
29
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.560
by the art, Because if I go by the art,
30
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.040
Sarah did it. Of course. The entire thing is madness
31
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.799
that Mark Maron is not nominated. But maybe he didn't
32
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.000
submit himself for an award, which seems like a very
33
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.760
Mark Maron thing to do. I don't know how it works.
34
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.519
The nominations for Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy, Abbot Elementary,
35
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.079
The Bear Hacks and nobody wants this, only Murders the
36
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.480
Studio The Bear is clearly not a comedy. I'd say
37
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.560
hacks out of that group. Best Performance by an Actor
38
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.519
in a TV Series, Music or Comedy Adam Brody, nobody
39
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.200
wants this. Steve Martin for Murders Glenn Powell, Chad Powers,
40
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.319
Seth Rogan, The Studio, Martin Short Murders, Jeremale and White Bear,
41
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.079
which is not a comedy. The industry loves fawning over
42
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.480
themselves and they really like the very very overrated The Studio.
43
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.199
Seth Rogen will win there. If I had to give
44
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.400
it to somebody, I don't even have a pick. Best
45
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.120
performance by an actress in a TV series Musical comedy,
46
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.039
Kristen Bell, nobody wants this. I Adebe The Bear, which
47
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.439
is not a comedy, Selena Gomez Murders, Natasha Leone, Poker Face,
48
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.199
Jenna Ortega, Wednesday, Jean Smart Hacks. I'd give it to
49
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.159
Gene Best podcast, Dak Shephard, call Her Daddy, Amy Pohler,
50
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.039
the Mel Robins podcast, SmartLess, and Up First, And as
51
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.280
I posted on LinkedIn, hey guys, this is a TV
52
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.719
show I actually listened to Up First most days. They're
53
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.680
not gonna like get nine point thirty on CBS, be
54
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.240
like and here's the guys from NPR. Up First. Amy
55
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.120
Poehler is gonna win this one. If she doesn't, Dak
56
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.919
Sheppard will. The Carol Burnett Award will go to Sarah
57
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
Jessica Parker bill Board put out their list of the
58
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.199
top twenty five comedians of the twenty first century so far.
59
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.159
I'm going to rip off that idea and do my
60
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.520
own version. Later in the month, Ricky Gervais posted on
61
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.840
social media, this is so American centric. I'm generally surprised
62
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.159
to be on it at all. But to be fair,
63
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.680
it's a pretty fine listen and I'm a fan of
64
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.599
most of the people above me, so it's all good.
65
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.759
In a social media clip, Ricky Gervais talked about his
66
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.520
tour and his special. He also talked about his vodka.
67
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.759
But I'll play the Voka part tomorrow. But here's Ricky.
68
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.199
Hello, Ricky Dumas here. I just want to say a
69
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.879
huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket to
70
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.639
my Mortality tour and everyone who tried. It's probably my
71
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.919
favorite tour so far. The special drops on Netflix on
72
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.520
the thirtieth of December. So if you like the show,
73
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.120
or if you like my previous shows, then you're gonna
74
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.159
love the special. It's more me than ever. If you
75
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.400
didn't like my previous shows, you'll hate it. You'll hate
76
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.360
it more than don't watch it. It'll make you sad
77
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.840
and angry. Don't even watch the trailers because they're make you. Oh,
78
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:02.479
you'll post something about them. No one to care and
79
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.280
how makes you sadah and angrier? Watch something you do
80
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.039
like and talk to your little friends. Dr Who you
81
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.680
love that, Watch Doctor Who.
82
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.439
David Letterman will be the guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tonight.
83
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.959
Make twelve thirty great Again. The team behind the British
84
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.120
version of Saturday Night Live have slightly tapped into Seth
85
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.040
Myers to help them out. Seth told Graham Norton, I
86
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.079
doubts about it at first, but having spent a week
87
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.199
here meeting potential writers and cast, it's very exciting. There
88
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.120
are so many young, funny people and a great comedic
89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.800
skill set here, I think it's going to be great.
90
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.560
Chortal reports. A transcript of Seth's comments released to journalists
91
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.040
initially said that Seth Myers had explicitly said quote I
92
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.279
am involved unquote in the UK project. After several hours after,
93
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.720
Trotter reported that a publicist for the show said the
94
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.839
transcript was inaccurate. Interesting. A briefing from the Sky Channel
95
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.040
has asked cast and writers to be available from mid
96
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.800
January to early April. That suggests a time table for that.
97
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.639
The President of the United States, who's doing nothing about
98
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.759
Star Trek. Have you seen this trailer for Starfleet Academy?
99
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.240
Oh my god, just mister Trump, you gotta do something
100
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.120
about this. He's out there hosting TV shows. He was
101
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.560
hosting the Kennedy Center Awards on Sunday night, and he
102
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.920
compared himself to a previous host of the event, saying,
103
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680
Jimmy Kimmel was horrible. If I can't beat out Jimmy
104
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.360
Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don't think I
105
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.480
should be president. Interestingly, Jimmy Kimmel has hosted the Kennedy
106
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.879
Center Awards as many times as I have. We are
107
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.000
tied at zero. The President told reporters, We've never had
108
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.600
a president hosting the awards before. This is the first.
109
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.000
I'm sure they'll give me great reviews, right, you know,
110
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.959
they'll say he was horrible. He was terrible. It was
111
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.480
a horrible situation. The President was confident, said, we'll do fine.
112
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.279
I will take a break from comedy for a second
113
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.199
to talk about a dramatic movie. Jay Kelly, George Clooney,
114
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.360
and the great dramatic actor Adam Sandler I absolutely loved
115
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.000
the movie. Among the reasons I loved it, it's a
116
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.519
movie movie. It's not what I call The Avengers, where
117
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.319
everything's a two second fast cut in a lot of
118
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.519
special effects. This was like a movie, like, you know,
119
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.120
like v Onenheimer was like a movie. This is a
120
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.079
movie movie. And here in the middle of the decade,
121
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.199
it's very refreshing when someone makes an actual movie. Adam Sandler,
122
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.000
of course really good in it. And as I published
123
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.399
in my sub stack on Monday, there are now officially
124
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.199
six good Adam Sandler movies. The best Adam Sandler movie
125
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.920
J Kelly. That is now the best Adam Sandler movie.
126
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.879
It is not Adam Sandler's best performance. His best performance
127
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.560
is the second best Adam Sailor movie, which is Uncut Gems.
128
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.839
I like J. Kelly even better than Uncut Gems. So
129
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.879
we have J Kelly, Uncut Gems, Basketball Movie, Space Movie,
130
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.560
and the two with Drew Barrymore. Those are the six
131
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.240
good Adam Sandler movies. Every other movie Adam Sandler in
132
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.240
is complete garbage. But he's good in J. Kelly. Although
133
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.759
minor spoiler there's a scene where he has to act sad.
134
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.480
He's not good at sad. He's just good at normal.
135
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.639
If he's just like a normal dude in a scene,
136
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.560
he's good, but he has to play sad at one scene,
137
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.199
not good at that. Marcelo Hernandez does two things really well.
138
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.079
One is invariance on that character. The other is a
139
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.199
Sebastian Maniscalco impression. We're gonna find out just how funny
140
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.839
Marcelo Hernandez is. He's getting a Netflix special. It's titled
141
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.800
American Boy, to be on Netflix January seventh, so that
142
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.319
at one point will be the best comedy special of
143
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.240
twenty twenty six. We'll see if I can hold the title.
144
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.839
Filmed in Miami, the special seas Marcelo Hernandez musing on
145
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.120
his experiences growing up as a first generation American. I
146
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.319
hung around to the end of Saturday Night Live to
147
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.120
watch the credits. Remember a couple of weeks ago, we're
148
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.639
talking about how Nicki Glazer kind of got iced by
149
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.079
the cast during the Good Nights. Well, Melissa McCarthy did
150
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.000
not get iced. I saw people hugging her. Good episode.
151
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.160
Colin Jost was really good in it, both as Pete
152
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.319
Hegseth and during the news. Sarah Sherman also did well,
153
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.560
and then during the Good Nights I saw Cam Patterson
154
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.240
standing there and I was like, Oh, I don't think
155
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.920
you were in anything this week? Are you even on
156
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.959
the show? I think he's been on the show about
157
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.639
six minutes more than I have this season. I did
158
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.720
see a thread on the Threads social media app, which
159
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.800
is really good for comedy. It's actually better than Twitter
160
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.040
ACX for comedy these days. But I saw somebody raving
161
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.480
about Cam Patterson saying he's got superstar talent, and people
162
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.680
were tagging that, going yes, So I guess that's what
163
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.839
Lorden Michael sees. But whatever everyone's seeing, it's not appearing
164
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.439
on SNL. Maybe he's an awesome stand up but it
165
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.839
ain't happening on Saturday nights. My boilers still not fixed.
166
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.279
It is freezing here, so I have to cut this
167
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.879
little short. I've got a space heater in the basement.
168
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.319
And then the quote unquote studio is a room also
169
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.160
in the basement, but it's a separate room without a
170
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.680
space heater, and my feet are freezing, even though I've
171
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.399
only been talking to you for about ten minutes. If
172
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.159
you missed it, yesterday around noon Eastern, I dropped the
173
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:42.120
Comedy Survivor selection show sixteen comedians one Comedy Survivor. You
174
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:43.720
can go back and listen to that one. We'll start
175
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.000
playing that game in January. Out today on the eight
176
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.080
hundred Pound Guerrilla YouTube channel, it's Nicole Buyer's an evening
177
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.919
of crowd work. Let's talk about friend of the show.
178
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.279
Jason Zenneman from The New York Times back to back
179
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.080
days over the Thanksgiving holiday or so, he had written
180
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.000
a piece called Ian Comedy is Back, this time without
181
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.919
the judgment. He focused on comedians like Nate Perghetzy, Lean Morgan,
182
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.600
and Dusty Sleigh. Jason Wright says an alternative to the coasts,
183
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.399
the stand up scene that gets the most attention these
184
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.840
days is Austin. But Nashville, I'd argue, is the more
185
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.360
important comedy city. It has a large industry footprint. He
186
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.720
mentions the eight hundred Pound Gorilla, which I mentioned a
187
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.600
few times a week and is a major destination for
188
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.720
podcast guests. That's where theol Voon tapes his show. But
189
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.360
most important, Nashville has emerged as the center of a resurgent,
190
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.200
clean comedy scene. Zenneman writes the extent of the Nate
191
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.039
Berghezzy phenomenon may not be entirely clear because he doesn't
192
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.120
show up in the discourse, he doesn't beef with other stars,
193
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.639
and steers clear of controversy. His excess stems from the
194
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.080
insight that audience has still wanted, but weren't getting the
195
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.679
kind of escapist, broadly likable comedy that was a regular
196
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.759
part of the cultural diet on network television in the
197
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.159
nineteen eighties and nineties. So to me, this is Foxworthy theory.
198
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.399
I've told the story before. I sat in a room
199
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.039
with Jeff Foxworthy many years ago, and I asked him
200
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.600
to explain his brand to me. And he was sitting
201
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.679
across from me, and he held up his hands and
202
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.799
he said, I realized if I stopped cursing, I picked
203
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.080
up the kids and the grandma's And then he held
204
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.679
his hands wider, indicating a larger audience. Now I'll push
205
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.639
back on this one. Jason wrote about Nate and Dusty.
206
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.799
They are Southern comics with accents. They were lightly and
207
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.600
they don't play the country rube the way the stars
208
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.559
of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour did in the early
209
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:19.679
two thousands. Cable Guy, Yes, absolutely Foxworthy, somewhat but I
210
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:23.200
think Foxworthy is overshadowed by his trademark you might be
211
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.279
a redneck bit. Other than that, I don't think Jeff
212
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.399
really leaned into that too much. Bill Angvall did not,
213
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.000
and Ron White did not. Anyway, good stuff is always
214
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.080
from Jason's innam in. I won't go w camal bell
215
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.879
on you. That's your comedy news for today. I gotta
216
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.320
go get warp see you
