1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Joe Niners.
I'm Johnny mag with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.039
If you missed yesterday, I did
the super Bowl preview in the Saturday

3
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.519
episode, you'll find that in the
feed. Today's more of a normal episode,

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.399
Jimmy Fallon, and he might get
canceled by Taylor Swift. Imagine if

5
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.519
Joe Coy said this joke? Hey, did you know that Trump's legal team

6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.800
has been prepping for months? Also, they're making an album called The Tortured

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.280
Lawyer's Department. Taylor's not going to
like that, vicious? How dare you

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.880
make fun of Taylor? By the
way, for all things Taylor Swift,

9
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.560
listen to the Taylor Swift Today podcast. I'm sure they'll be pretty interesting tomorrow.

10
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.560
Stephen Colbert said, Trump's lawyers have
pointed out that the Fourteenth Amendment says

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.399
people have engaged in an insurrection cannot
hold office. It doesn't say they can't

12
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.880
run for office. But the point
of running for office is to hold office.

13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.039
Unless you're Nikki Haley, We're not
sure what her point is. Jimmy

14
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.679
Fallon said, did you know that
the recent hearing was led by Chief Justice

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.799
John Roberts Also he's the only chief
that's not worried about the forty nine ers.

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.519
Yesked, all right, keep it
fair, Johnny Macker. I've been

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.120
a lot of talk about President Biden's
memory lately. Jimmy found said, it's

18
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.040
pretty embarrassing for Biden, but on
the bright side, you'll forget about it.

19
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.640
Five minutes later, as predicted,
the Joe Rogan Podcast went straight to

20
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.519
number one now that it's back available
everywhere, Joe Rogan tweeted, because that's

21
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.079
what we do on Twitter, nobody
calls that Exelon podcast is now officially back

22
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.319
on Apple. We should be back
on YouTube with full episodes of the coming

23
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.640
weeks. Shout out to Spotify for
absolutely being the coolest and smartest people I've

24
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.319
ever had the pleasure of being in
partnership with. I'm very excited the podcast

25
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.120
will now have a much broader distribution. Curby Your Enthusiasm is on tonight after

26
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.400
the Super Bowl. You'll probably watch
the Big Game, won't you. The

27
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.719
Holler Reporter caught up with executive producer
Jeff Schaeffer. Is this the final season?

28
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.120
He says, even though every season
has been the final season, it's

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.159
the final season. Although I don't
think Larry's done with having spirited discourses with

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.519
troublemakers on the West Side of Los
Angeles, so you never know. But

31
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.359
he adds, when you watch the
end, it'll make sense that this is

32
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.599
the end. Larry David said,
people think I'm lying. I'm not a

33
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.759
liar. Okay, yeah, fifteen
years ago I said it was the last

34
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:10.080
season. That's what I say when
I don't think I'm coming back with another

35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.879
one. But this is it.
Schaeffer said they almost killed Larry off Curb

36
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.039
in the season eleven finale, but
then changed their minds so they could return

37
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.759
for this season twelve. Shaefer says, we didn't start writing the season with

38
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.120
the intent that was going to be
the last one. It wasn't like,

39
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.560
all right, what's our final season
going to be? We were just writing

40
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.280
a story. As the story evolved, it made sense that this was the

41
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.560
series finale, But it came from
an evolution of story, not from any

42
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.199
master planet. This was going to
be the last season, but there are

43
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.360
unexpected benefits. Now Larry has time
to pursue his passion projects like making erotic

44
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.520
dioram as of Old Testament scenes,
breeding Doberman's and refurbishing turn to the century

45
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.360
popcorn makers to their previous glory.
You can finally do what he wants.

46
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:47.879
The Holly reporter said, did you
just come up with that on the spot?

47
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.400
Jeff said two with him. Yeah, Jeff says. Finalees are always

48
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.520
a tricky thing because it's a breakup. You've had this relationship for twenty years

49
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.159
with some people, and a twenty
year relationship with your fans, and all

50
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.919
of a sudden you're leaving them.
A finale always weird energy to it.

51
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.759
I think what I've learned is the
best finales are really funny episodes of the

52
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.840
show, not this other thing that's
not the show. So that was something

53
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.280
we kept in our heads. Someone
who's not a fan of Larry David will

54
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.080
Wheaton. Will Wheaton did not appreciate
the Elmo thing. We'll post that on

55
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.319
Facebook. What a stupid, self
centered tone deaf a hole. And I

56
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.719
don't want to make fun of this
next sentiment. No, Will sheared All

57
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.680
the time. When I was growing
up, my dad would grab me by

58
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.280
the shoulders and shake me while he
screamed in my face. He was always

59
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.520
out of control, always at a
furious rage, and always terrifying. I'm

60
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.759
a fifty one year old man,
and my heart is pounding right now.

61
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.439
We're calling how I felt when I
was a little boy who loved Grover the

62
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.639
way today's kids love Elmo. You
couldn't stand that a puppet brought people together

63
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.199
in a meaningful way that you can't
You couldn't stand that your appearance on national

64
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.400
television and promote your wildly successful series
was delayed for a few seconds while the

65
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.800
adults talked about mental health and crappy
idiot Larry David couldn't leave it alone for

66
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.439
some reason. He had to indirectly
tell everyone who opened their hearts to a

67
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.439
muppet that they were stupid and they
thought it was a good joke to physically

68
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.680
attack and choke this character who was
beloved by children and adults alike. You

69
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.199
know what that tells impressional young people
about sharing their feelings. You know who

70
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.919
was watching the Today Show with their
parents, kids who also watched Sesame Street.

71
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.919
Elmo was an avatar for children all
over the world. Children who are

72
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.840
too small to understand Elmo is a
puppet will know that a man attacks someone

73
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.920
they love for no reason that will
frighten and confuse them. Elmo and the

74
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.920
Muppets teach and model to children all
over the world. A kindness and empathy

75
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.720
aren't weak or stupid or any of
things people like Larry David or my dad

76
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.160
thinks they are. Larry David strikes
me as a person who mocks and belittle's

77
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.160
people who are vulnerable and sensitive and
enjoys being cruel because he feels untouchable.

78
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.160
Maybe I'm wrong. That's who I
see whenever I can't find the remote and

79
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.439
he's on my television. Seems like
there's a lot going on there. Dakota

80
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.360
Johnson, who's the daughter of Don
Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Mmm, she's

81
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.600
in The Office series finale and told
Seth Myers that was honestly the worst time

82
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.839
of my life. Boy, life
is hard. Imagine that being on the

83
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.079
Office finale. They were like,
do you want to be in the series

84
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.240
finale? And I was like,
of course, thinking I show up for

85
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.240
like half a day. I was
there for two weeks and I'm barely in

86
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.480
the fings show. Oh man,
Imagine being on the set of the Office

87
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.199
for two weeks and that was the
worst time of your life. Life is

88
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.600
hard. I feel so bad,
Dakota, this nextport's kind of interesting.

89
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.600
I wonder what's going on here.
I hadn't heard this before. She said,

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.040
there were weird dynamics that have been
going on for the last ten years.

91
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.879
Some people didn't speak to each other. That's interesting, and I'm coming

92
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.000
in like so excited to be here. No one wanted to talk to me.

93
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.519
No one gave an f I was
like in the background of all these

94
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.480
scenes faxing things. That does sound
like the hardest part of anyone's life.

95
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.399
Imagine being on the set of the
Office and like having to pretend to fax

96
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.399
things. Life is horrid. Brian
Cranston was on the Office Ladies podcast.

97
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.399
He asked them, let's say there's
not a reboot series, but what if

98
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.639
there was a movie something to see
where we could see where these people are?

99
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.720
We wondered at the end, where
did they go? What became of

100
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.480
them? Jenni Fisher said she'd sign
up as long as Greg Daniels is involved,

101
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.240
because then I would trust it,
you know, as long as Greg

102
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.079
is right again and he's in charge
of it, I would say yes.

103
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.120
Angela Kinsey said I would do it
for my kids because I would think that

104
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.720
it's fun. I'll chime in.
You'll both do it. It's a payday.

105
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:00.800
Don't act like you're not gonna do
it. Hey, Angela, do

106
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.279
you want to be in the office. No, I don't want to be

107
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.879
in the office. I'm working so
much I'm not interested. Get out of

108
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.000
here. The movie is probably a
better idea than a reboot series, because

109
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.079
if you do a reboot series,
how does it work? Is Pam in

110
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.839
it? If Pam is in it, well, where's Jim? I thought

111
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.240
they moved to Texas? Didn't they
move to Texas? Are they still together?

112
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.680
Did Texas not work out? Are
Pam and Jim still married? But

113
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.120
Pam went back to sales at dunder
Mifflin And Jim, is you know,

114
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.800
doing something else? Because Krazinsky's not
going to do it? And are we

115
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.120
going to bring in like the season
nine characters, I forget their names PLoP

116
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.399
And if there was fake Jim and
fake d White, are they going to

117
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.319
do it? Like? I just
think it's a mess. I don't think

118
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.439
you can bring this show back.
Did Kevin quit the bar and go back

119
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.279
to dunder Mifflin, Like, how
does this even work? But don't act

120
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.000
like you're not gonna do it.
You're gonna do it. Come on.

121
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.920
Tina Fey was on bow and Yang
and Matt Rogers podcast Las Culturistas. She

122
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.800
was shocked to learn that some Saturday
Night Live staffers bring their dogs to work.

123
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.319
Bow and Yang told Tina, you'd
like to be a pet parent,

124
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.240
but doesn't have enough time due to
the demanding production schedule at SNL. Because

125
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.920
no one brings their dogs to SNL, Yang said, oh, people bring

126
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.079
their dogs to SNL. Fay,
what, Bowen, there's a couple of

127
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.800
people, But it's fine, Tina. They stay in the dressing room,

128
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.079
Bowen. They stay in the dressing
room where sometimes they'll bring them out.

129
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.920
It's okay, Yang tells Fay.
It's the change in the workplace culture.

130
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.240
It's a different world now. Maybe
Shane Gillis will bring his dog. Weird

131
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.160
one from the Daily Mail they tell
us Robin Williams was a regular visitor to

132
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.120
Billy Connolly's house, and Billy,
who's eighty one, told the Mail I

133
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.319
had a stuffed Scottish wildcat at the
fireplace in my house to frighten the person

134
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.199
who sat down by the fire.
Robin Williams would lift the cat and he

135
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.519
would become the cat. He was
talking in a Scottish accent and being a

136
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.360
wildcat, really getting in a character. Somebody would come in, like the

137
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.800
guy who had the stretch of the
river that he rents out to fishermen.

138
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.920
The guy goes, what's that?
And Robin became the wildcat and made the

139
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.279
noise that cats make. The guy
nearly crabbed himself. It was an unbelievable

140
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.720
moment in life, watching a genius
become a wild animal. It was wonderful.

141
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.399
So I'm not following. There's a
stuff cat. You walk in,

142
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.120
you go, what's that? Oh, yeah, it's a cat, and

143
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.720
then Robin Williams picks it up and
starts acting like a cat. And that's

144
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.600
scary, is it? Because you
don't recognize Robin Williams and you just think

145
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.399
this is crazy. Man, I
don't know what's going on there. ABC

146
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.720
wrote about the decline of Late Night. I thought this was stunning. During

147
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.480
the twenty fourteen to fifteen season,
the Daily Show, Fallon, Kimmel and

148
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.199
Letterman combined for an average ten point
five million viewers. The same four shows

149
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.639
Colbert are now in place of Letterman, and I'll add the Daily Show as

150
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.759
Rudderless have four point eight million viewers
again from ten to five to four eight

151
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.039
in nine years. WOW ABC says
the shows took in eight hundred and fifty

152
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.320
nine million dollars in ad revenue in
twenty fifteen through November twenty twenty three.

153
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.960
The tally for that year was two
hundred and fifty nine million. I doubt

154
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.000
they had a six hundred million dollar
December. John Stewart had more than one

155
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.600
point three million viewers In his last
season. Trevor Noah was down to you

156
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.840
want to guess how many guests he
low wrong? Three hundred and seventy two

157
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.000
thousand, one point three million to
three seventy two in twenty twenty two.

158
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.159
WOW. During Stewart's last full year
in twenty fourteen, the daily show earned

159
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.600
an estimated one hundred and twenty nine
million dollars in advertising revenue. Last year,

160
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.799
the rudderless show with no real host
was down to nineteen million dollars through

161
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.039
November. I doubt they made one
hundred and ten million in December. WOW
