1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.759
Jenny Mack, you never give any attention to Roywood Junior's

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.719
news show. Have I got news for you on CNN?

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.239
I know, and the CNN publicists put out so many

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.960
articles about it, and I've barely talked about it. The

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.559
La Times spoke to Roywood Junior. They talked about his

7
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.519
time playing sports in high school. He warmed the bench.

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.079
Roy said, your job as a bench of warmer is

9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.640
to come up with the heckles against the other team.

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.679
I took pride in writing insults to hurl at other

11
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.840
fifteen year olds. If I could get the umpire to laugh,

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.359
that was like an applause break. If I got the

13
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.119
parents to laugh, that was the standing. Oh. Roy says,

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.320
We're a very interesting piece of real estate with this

15
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.600
new show. In between say a Jimmy Fallon and a

16
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.799
daily show, it's an opportunity to talk about the news,

17
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.280
but we get to season it for taste in terms

18
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:53.560
of the depth in which we want to go on

19
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.039
a particular topic. A sidebar here. The La Times writes,

20
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.640
as roy Wood said that sentence, he was alternating tips

21
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.640
of two smoothie. Is one a fruity pink, the other

22
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.599
a healthy green, fascinating. I might head over to the

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.599
smoothie place after I record this. They have this new

24
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.920
cinnamon smoothie that's so good. I might have to go

25
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.680
get one. Where he says, the burden of making the

26
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.120
argument every single time is not on my shoulders anymore.

27
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.040
It's a chance to live within the jokes first, the opinions. Second.

28
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.840
The conversation turned to his time at The Daily Show,

29
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.319
and he said, the biggest thing I learned from watching

30
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.120
Trevor Noah's not to let anger pollute your sense of humor.

31
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.840
It's infuriating what's happening in America, But the moment you

32
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.000
allow yourself to be consumed by the anger, you lose

33
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.680
your ability to make fun of everything. I remember Trevor

34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.599
allowing not anger, but compassion to drive his segment about

35
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.719
a police shooting. As I recall, there wasn't a single

36
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.840
joke in the first act. He just spoke sincerely to

37
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.599
the camera about where we are as a country. There

38
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.280
were so many moments where Trevor could have used the

39
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.519
pulpit to cuss America out, and he never did it,

40
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.239
but instead he used calmness as a more precise scalpel. Interesting.

41
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.760
I'm going to use the word spin here. This isn't

42
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.519
the way I remember it, But the La Times rites.

43
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.959
When it became clear that one time front runner Hassan

44
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.480
Minhaj wasn't going to get the Daily Show job, Wood

45
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.480
started to worry that there was no plan for the

46
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.439
Daily Show as it headed into an election year. Roy says,

47
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.280
at that point, John Stewart coming back was not in

48
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.199
the conversation. For me, it felt like, well, what is

49
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.759
life going to be for me after the Daily Show?

50
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.120
If they picked somebody that doesn't want me it as

51
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.039
a correspondent, then what am I gonna do next year?

52
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.240
If I'm gonna have to eventually find a place to land,

53
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.439
I should just start that process now, all right? That

54
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.759
is fair. I think my point is that the La

55
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.840
Times left out the part where they weren't obviously not

56
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.719
considering Roy for the desk either. Amber Ruffin said, Roy

57
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.840
knows every current news story but also the history of them,

58
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.360
which is amazing to me. Even when you think, oh,

59
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.080
he's not gonna have the backstory on this, he does.

60
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.199
Roy has a kind of gravitas. He feels like he

61
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.960
belongs in the chair. He just feels like a dude

62
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.039
you might be hanging with around the grill at a barbecue,

63
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.400
Whereas on the jerkvase, who's gonna be like, do you

64
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.599
have impossible burgers? Roy Wood has been preparing for the

65
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.400
show by watching Steve Harvey host Family Feud. Why because

66
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.039
he's the king of hearing something ridiculous, pausing and reacting

67
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.280
to it, and then getting the game back on track.

68
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.000
He's keeping in open mind about the future and said

69
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.240
if the Daily Show called, I'm not gonna send them

70
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.719
a voicemail, but I am dating someone. The CNN press

71
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.759
team got Vulture to write about the show, Hey, Amber ruffin,

72
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.400
how did you wind up getting hired as one of

73
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.080
the team captains? Amber said, they had a bunch of

74
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.719
us tests for it, and it was just the most

75
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.680
fun little reunion. It was everybody who's kind of in

76
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.759
this space, was all the late night people, the funny

77
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.719
news podcasters, the people who had late night shows. Well,

78
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.960
should be asking her pals to be on her team.

79
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.879
No one's asking me who should be on the show.

80
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.479
I don't have any control of who's on the show

81
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.280
or not, or else it'd be all my friends, which

82
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.120
I guess it would be fine. I don't even know

83
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.240
who's going to be on this Friday. They tape Friday

84
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.560
and at air Saturday. How's the show different than the

85
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.560
UK version? It's a little more game show. Esk gets

86
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.439
overflowing with punchlines, the goals to give your fastest answered

87
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.919
many times that's wrong or silly, and because we're all comedians,

88
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.520
it's very much like an improvised late night show that's

89
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.680
out behaves. We're spitting out punch lines at a teams

90
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.759
and sat down and thought through, which makes it more

91
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.439
fun and truer than your regular show. It'll be different

92
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.520
that the segments are way tighter than your run of

93
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.719
the mill British panel show. I think it's very segment

94
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.719
heavy and bit heavy, whereas the other panel shows can

95
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.039
get to yepping. How do you decide who wins? Roy

96
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.000
is deciding who gets points and he can be bought

97
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.919
before every show. It's on the whims of Roy. It's

98
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.800
how he's feeling. So yeah, I'm gonna bring him presents.

99
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.240
I want to win. Let's stay political for a second.

100
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.520
The Daily Beast spoke to Samuel Wiles. He does stand

101
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.719
up comedy in La and resembles jd Vance, and he

102
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.920
has started doing a jd Vance impression. Wile said, I'm

103
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.879
always kind of clocking guys with big round heads and

104
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.680
beards and media, the fact that we both have light

105
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.920
eyes and kind of high school teacher speaking voices. With

106
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.160
a bonus coincidence. He started doing his Vance impression on

107
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.160
TikTok on August seventh, while channeling jd Vance In a

108
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.639
recent video, he had Vance reading letters from constituents and said,

109
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.240
dear future VP Van s, a Haitian illegal broke into

110
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.000
my house and ate my dog between two slices of wonderbread.

111
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.160
He was wearing nothing but a cape and a sinister

112
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.240
top hat. He escaped on a skateboard powered by dark magic.

113
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.959
How does he come up with ideas? He thought about

114
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.360
how much I don't like JD Vance, but also how

115
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.480
awful would be to be him. I started writing down

116
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.040
stuff I thought he would say, because I thought I

117
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.560
could talk about it as stand up. But then I

118
00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.720
wrote for like ninety minutes straight. It was so easy.

119
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.160
I read Hillbilly Eligi when it came out. I remember

120
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.879
liking it while I was reading it, then putting it

121
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.959
down and going, oh wait, what an a hole. Then

122
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.240
when he became an outright conservative media figure that it

123
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.000
seemed really logical. It'll never not be funny to me

124
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:12.920
that he's a huge fraud. No one likes him. He

125
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.040
doesn't even get the benefit of this weird lying. His

126
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.839
life would be so much easier if he could be honest,

127
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.079
but there's so many layers that he can't have an

128
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.560
honest moment. Now part of what makes a good advance

129
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.319
impression mascara, He says, My fiance works in beauty and

130
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.160
did my eyeliner for the first round of videos, and

131
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.160
we both kind of realized it needed to look worse.

132
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.160
So now I just get the three dollars wet and

133
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.360
wild from Walgreens and mash it into my eyes on

134
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.720
my own. Shout out to Walgreens. Nick Swartzon spoke to

135
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.399
the eight hundred pound Gorilla, and he said, one of

136
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.839
my favorite stories is I did a performance arts center

137
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.879
and I show up backstage. It's about two thousand seats.

138
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.480
I look up the walls and big murals of the

139
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.600
Lion King and Phantom and Wicked, and I go to

140
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.680
the manager and I go, do you guys have comedy?

141
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.639
Here and he goes, oh, yeah, I have comedy. Sometimes

142
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.920
we had Lewis Black and I go, oh, no, do

143
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.000
you have security here? And he goes no, but we

144
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.519
have ushers. And I'm like, you don't understand. There's going

145
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.759
to be a crapstorm coming in here. My fans are

146
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.240
gonna be rowdy. And he's like, we'll be fine. And

147
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.279
it's like, now you don't understand what I'm saying to you.

148
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.480
The Nick Schwartz and crowd's gonna come in hot. And

149
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.560
he's like, I'm not worried about it. Okay, whatever we go.

150
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.000
I do my show. It's chaos. Girls got in a

151
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.079
fight in a balcony. This brawl. People are being insane.

152
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:19.839
It's super fun. I had a blast. And after the show,

153
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.480
I got back to my green room and the manager goes,

154
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.800
what the f And I'm like, yeah, I told you.

155
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.079
People are doing cocaine in the crowd. There's vomit everywhere.

156
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:27.920
Usher just didn't know what to do and I'm like, yeah,

157
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.160
I know, I told you. Literally said that. I called

158
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.360
my agent. I was like, maybe let's take a break

159
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.439
from the Performing Arts Center. Like what am I gonna do?

160
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.439
After the ballet slates has a big article on the

161
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.759
arts of clowning, a little too deep for me to

162
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.240
cover on this podcast, but a good read on Slate.

163
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.680
The part I'll highlight here is they spoke to Natalie Palomides,

164
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.480
who I think is fantastic, and the setup here was

165
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.439
about how clown performers dress, and they said Natalie, by contrast,

166
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.959
often isn't dressed in anything. In one of her more

167
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.360
shocking Bitsmedies takes the stage dressed like the little mermaid

168
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.639
looking for her true love. An audience member of volunzear

169
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.519
is to fill that role. Natalie locks them in an

170
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.319
aggressive tongue and make out, pulling their shirt over their

171
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.040
head with passionate post nuptial Gusto, writes Slates. Later, Balamedes

172
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.319
strips down completely and discovers that with the wonders of

173
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.279
m enjoying yourself, maybe she doesn't need true love after all.

174
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.560
She says, so much of the clowning in the modern

175
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.800
scene is naked and horny, and that's not part of

176
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.759
being a clown. Traditional clowning is supposed to be innocent, childlike,

177
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.519
and playful, and I'm frustrated that I've become an example

178
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.439
of this. It's become a creature people. If you're going

179
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.040
to do nudity, you have to earn it. She's anxious

180
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.000
that she might be bastardizing the form. She would rather

181
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.879
say that I was a physical character comedian. I think

182
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.680
more people on the outside started to refer to me

183
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.040
as a clown before I called myself one. One of

184
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.360
her friends made the case that clowning, just like any

185
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.439
form of art, is subject to reinvention and deconstruction. Deal

186
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.959
and went electric, Natalie, it might ditch your clothes in

187
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.160
the middle of a show. Leslie Lao is one of

188
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.759
Vulture's comedians you should know and will know. Oh. When

189
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.800
they asked her if she were immortalized as a cartoon character,

190
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.519
what would her outfit be? Interesting question? Stylish ath leisure,

191
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.079
high waisted sweatpants, sports brawn a cool baggy vintage jacket,

192
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.839
sexy clean sneakers. Sounds like, uh, Pouci from The Simpsons,

193
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.319
didn't Pooci dress like that? What comedian's career trajectory would

194
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.319
you like to follow? Bill Burr? I want to do

195
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:22.920
stand up forever if you known for that first, and

196
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.759
be competitive with myself and see if it can be

197
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.439
better than it was there before. I want everything I

198
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.240
do outside of stand up writing, acting, podcasting, directing, voice over,

199
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.440
et cetera. Tolign with my voice in comedic style. Worst

200
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.360
show ever. I recently did a show to college, so

201
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.799
beforehand I assumed it was for college students. That is

202
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.840
a good assumption. When I arrived, it was for a

203
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.799
summer camp of high school students touring the college decide

204
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.240
whether or not they wanted to apply. The average age

205
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.919
had to be sixteen. They spent the entire day doing

206
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.399
activities and were restless. All of them were on their

207
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.600
phones and either talking to each other, shouting at questions

208
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.480
that the comics, or trying to make each other laugh.

209
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.440
The sound was awful. They were too young to grasp

210
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.600
the concepts of my jokes, loneliness, isolation, agonizing over whether

211
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.600
or not to have children, et cetera. They were not

212
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.639
listening or laughing at anything I said, so I started

213
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.039
doing Q and A. Questions range from what's your favorite movie? Too?

214
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.320
Does life get worse? To what's your Snapchat? The lineup

215
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.720
was stacked with amazing and talented comics, and one by

216
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.039
one we were demolished emotionally by these children, and I

217
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.759
hated it and it was amazing. All right, what's your

218
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.240
joke writing process? She says, trying to be funny can

219
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.480
backfire on me. When I first started, I naturally thought

220
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.440
of what would make an audience laugh, and work backwards

221
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.200
and tailoring the premise to it. Now I realize if

222
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.440
I try to be funny first, my truth will get lost.

223
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.200
If I start with the truth first, and I rant

224
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.279
about my honest feelings and experience off in the humor

225
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.039
On Once he relies on its own organically all right,

226
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.919
comedy opinion hill that you'll die on, Leslie says, let's

227
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.679
experiment with earlier show times. Shows that start past nine

228
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.960
pm are challenge to us all. Everyone's pushing their limits

229
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.200
to be awake and full of energy when reality we're

230
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.200
all fighting there to doze off. Amen, preach Johnny Maco's

231
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.279
to bed at nine point thirty half the time. Let

232
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.039
me take a crack at a four pm show. We

233
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.799
can all have a laugh at dinner at a reasonable

234
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.960
hour and tuck ourselves in by nine pm. Oh, I

235
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.120
think that's awesome, She says. I also love the no

236
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.000
phones and shows policy. A stand up show is not

237
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.639
a concert. It's a time to listen and laugh. When

238
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.000
you're holding up your phone in front of your face

239
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.639
and block other people's view and filming our sets, you're

240
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.679
neither listening or laughing. Best comedy advice, Worst comedy advice. Best,

241
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.320
don't try to lead with being relatable. Just focus on

242
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.279
what's true for yourself and hope that connects with people. Worst.

243
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.559
When I had my day job at Netflix, a few

244
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:25.720
comics would find out and tell me that I was

245
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.320
already in. All I had to do is get acquainted

246
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.000
with someone on the stand up team and pitch myself

247
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.960
and get a special that way, I'm well aware that's

248
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.240
a backward, awkward and unprofessional strategy. These industry people have

249
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.240
to come to you. If the comics approach them, they'd

250
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.120
be a line of comics of the Netflix lobby waiting

251
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.799
to pitch themselves to creative executives every day. Just be

252
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.039
so good, funny, professional and special that someone who can

253
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.279
change your life will notice you and come to you.

254
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.519
And that is your comedy news for today. If you

255
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.279
enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might

256
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.120
like it too. You can share it on social media.

257
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.039
You can follow me on social media. It Twitter's at

258

dcnpod threads, seems to get a little more traction with

259
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.879
the comedy community on threads. I have the proper at

263
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.759
how that works. You have an awesome day, and I'll

264
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.399
see tomorrow.
