22
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.000
still bangs out all that work.
How much money does Kevin Hart have?

23
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.519
Wow? Trevor Noah's new special is
out on Netflix. I was hoping to

24
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.120
watch it last night. I hope
they can talk about it tomorrow. Essen's

25
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.879
caught up with Trevor and they asked
him his process for developing new material.

26
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.799
Trevor said, to be honest with
you, my process is living life and

27
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.799
then being on stage. I generate
material by living and thinking and communicating with

28
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.280
others. Netting on stage, and
I work it out, and that's pretty

29
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.400
much how I generate every hour that
I've made. Netflix shared another clip from

30
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.520
the show Let's Listen. Every woman
in this room has a trick that works

31
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.960
on every man. And right now, I know a lot of the women

32
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:16.719
like shut up, trip, shut
up, shut up, shut up,

33
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.199
shut up, shut up, shut
up, shut up, shut up,

34
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.120
shut up, shut up, shut
up. It's a beautiful subtle technique.

35
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:29.000
Yeah. You'll be out having lunch
or something. Then some guy will come

36
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.800
up to the table. He's buff, works out, you know, looks

37
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.520
really good. He's like, oh
my god, Michelle, Michelle. He's

38
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.840
like, oh Justin, Oh my
god, Wow, how are you?

39
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.280
And you They're like, who the
hell is Justin? What's going on?

40
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.520
He's like, this is crazy.
I can't believe this. Twice in two

41
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.960
weeks and you there like twice when
was once? Who is this? I

42
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.680
know? Oh my god? How
are you? I'm doing? Good?

43
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.199
Man? We got to catch up
sometime, We got we gotta talk about

44
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.039
college. I was thinking about it
the other day. We were so crazy

45
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:00.919
in college. You remember that,
you remember that night and you like you

46
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.759
went to college. What's going on
here? Trevord told Essence every special I

47
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.479
release, I think comes at the
time when it's ready to be released.

48
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.000
Art is a strange thing in that
it never feels finished for the artists,

49
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.840
but at some point you have to
let it go. For me, this

50
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.840
special is the culmination of meat traveling
around the world and meeting people from all

51
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.879
over. I love how comedy can
bring people together. This year, traveling

52
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.919
around the world doing it was a
reminder of how wonderful a shared laugh can

53
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.879
be. So I wanted to release
a fun light special that everybody can enjoy

54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.439
at home, especially going to the
holidays and what's been a tough time for

55
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.159
many people for many different reasons.
Essence asked Trevor why he thinks Netflix has

56
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.960
become the hub for stand up comedy. I'll answer because they pay millions and

57
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.159
millions of dollars. That's the answer. You want to become the hub for

58
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.759
stand up comedy, start handing out
one hundred million dollar checks to Dave Chappelle

59
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.240
and Chris Rock you'll be the hub
of comedy. But that wasn't Trevor's answer.

60
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.840
He said, well, for a
few reasons. Number one, Netflix

61
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.400
was their first platform where a comic
could put their special on and it wasn't

62
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.680
interrupted or walled off. I know
HBO did it a little bit, but

63
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:54.960
they had such a limited space for
comedian and you had to be on when

64
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.919
you were on. I think we've
moved on from that. Well, hold

65
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.520
on, Trevor, I mean HBO
did it for a little bit. They

66
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.360
did it for forty years, dude, and yeah, it had to be

67
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.039
on when you were on. But
there's HBO Max. Now you can watch

68
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.719
a special whatever you want. What
are we talking about, Trevor said,

69
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.039
you should be able to watch something
whatever you want to watch it. Yeah,

70
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.800
it's called Max. Moving on,
Trevor, do you think you'll ever

71
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.240
get back in the late night TV? Trevor said, I never say never

72
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.600
when it comes to anything. If
you'd asked me before Late Night TV if

73
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.560
I'd get into it, I would
have said, I don't know. I

74
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.040
never know where life takes me,
what direction it pulls me in. But

75
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.279
for now, I'm enjoying this period
of my life and I'm enjoying traveling more.

76
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.360
I'm enjoying spending more time in South
Africa. I'm enjoying doing more stand

77
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.199
up. But if the right timing
opportunity and motivation come along. I'll do

78
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.439
anything. That's what I love about
being in the field that I'm in.

79
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.959
Hmm, I could see the tonight's
show at Trevor Noah just saying at the

80
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.639
end of today's podcast, I will
have a spoiler for Trevor Noah's special.

81
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.439
I will give you major warning about
it. As I mentioned, I was

82
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.959
hoping to watch it last night.
The Times Now News saw as vibe spoilers

83
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.439
here, they say, this time
Trevor Noah has had more distance away from

84
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.399
the US satirical show that made him
an international name, But the way the

85
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.399
comedian analyzes and shapes his with a
stute punchline is much like what he used

86
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.600
to do on the Daily Show.
His material for Trevor Noah, Where Was

87
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.680
I is made of discerning observations to
different countries and cultures During his travels around

88
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.879
the world, the talented comic was
an act for nailing accents and nuances of

89
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.279
different cultures. Recounts his experiences in
places like Europe in the US. Yeah,

90
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.360
I love his voice work. It's
so good. I meant to mention

91
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.120
that when I played the trailer clip
he's doing those voices. They are fantastic.

92
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.720
For example, miner spoiler here,
You'll be fine. While in torn

93
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.240
Berlin, he praises Germany for acknowledging
its Nazi past and it's part in it.

94
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.839
Later, he mocks their national anthem
in a way that's not offensive.

95
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.079
At an hour and eight minutes,
Trevor Noah, where was I is far

96
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.600
too short? Wow from a hot
reporter. Jerry Seinfeld showing support for the

97
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:43.360
families of Israeli hostages after arriving in
Israel earlier this week. According to multiple

98
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.839
local Israeli news sources, Jerry landed
sometime on Monday and has since visited the

99
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.680
headquarters of the Hostages and Missing Families
Forum in Tel Aviv, the hostage advocacy

100
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.639
organization. Jerry told the families that
he feels a deep commitment to raising awareness

101
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.959
around the world about the issue of
the hostages whose lives are in immediate danger.

102
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.160
Jerry's family was very moved and it
was evident that they were deeply affected

103
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.120
by the experiences they heard from the
family members and they released hostages. Meanwhile,

104
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.639
on Gossip Corner on Saturday, Jerry
was spotted at the India Garden Restaurants.

105
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.040
Jerry apparently on an Indian food kick. That's twice in a week we've

106
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.360
seen him out for Indian food.
Ray Romano says, you're not getting it.

107
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.120
Everybody loves Raymond reboot. He was
on Bill Maher's podcast. He told

108
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.639
Bill reboots are never as good.
We want to leave with our legacy,

109
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.680
he said. The rest of the
cast was happy to go on, but

110
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.959
myself and Phil Rosenthal round the show. We wanted to end it in season

111
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.120
eight because we felt like it was
time. Yeah, it'd be kind of

112
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.040
hard to bring back. I mean, you could have the kids now grown

113
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.560
up, and you could throw Ray
and Debrah into the parent roles. And

114
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.720
Ray says, you know, as
far as it reboots, now the question

115
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.279
because unfortunately the parents are gone Peter
Boyle and Doris Roberts. So yeah,

116
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.279
if Ray and Deborah were the parents
and the kids were grown up, and

117
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.600
I don't know, Robert lived next
door, you could make it work.

118
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.399
But yeah, just don't. Fox
Nation is getting in on the comedy thing.

119
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.480
On January third, they'll release two
separate Commonbody specials. One is called

120
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.720
Jimmy Fala. They're just jokes,
featuring a special filmed at the Paramount Theater

121
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:09.560
in Huntington, Long Island. I
Know that place Interesting by the former New

122
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.519
York City taxi driver turned Fox News
commentator The Other One that Day, Tyrus

123
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.720
Here and Now a concert filmed in
Crowley, Louisiana, with the former professional

124
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.639
wrestler and current Gutfeld panel member offering
his takes on a variety of topics.

125
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.959
On January a, Fox Nation will
release a History of the World in Six

126
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.720
Classes, a documentary series hosted by
Dan Ackroyd. Appearing in it Jim Belushi,

127
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.160
John Lovett's and Kevin Neil and also
George went from Cheers. They discuss

128
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.399
beer, wine, coffee, t
soda, and spirits. I'm sure Akroid's

129
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.360
gonna plug his stuff. He always
does. And on January tenth, Fox

130
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.519
Nation will release an episode of a
series called Who Is. In that episode,

131
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.120
they will profile Dave Chappelle. Netflix
has released a clip from the upcoming

132
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:57.120
Adam Sandler sci fi drama Spaceman.
Listen to this trailer. This sounds awful,

133
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.399
just awful. As I was hitting
play, I'm like, is this

134
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:07.000
a parody? No, Adam is
serious here? Listen to this crap just

135
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:16.439
like you. I fled my planet
through galaxies through black calls through time and

136
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:24.720
then I Found You. Spaceman,
directed by the guy who directed Chernobyl,

137
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.319
which is fantastic. Spaceman will be
out March first. The film is based

138
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.080
on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia.
We find Adam Sandler's astronaut Jacob six months

139
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.399
into a solitary research mission to the
edge of the Solar system, as he

140
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.360
realizes that the marriage he left behind
might not be waiting for him when he

141
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.440
returns to Earth. Desperate to fix
things with his wife, Adam Sandler's character

142
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.600
is helped by a mysterious creature from
the beginning of time, which he finds

143
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.720
hiding in the bowels of his ship. By the way, that recent cartoon

144
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.440
Leo had thirty four point six million
views for Netflix during its first week,

145
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.000
yikes. Deadline wrote about the future
of Late Night you know, hey,

146
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.320
is anybody going to take over for
any of the five white guys currently hosting

147
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.720
shows? And they speculated who even
knows? But the interesting part to me

148
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:15.360
was talking about Lorne Michaels. As
the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live approaches,

149
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.919
Deadline rights comedy sources are convinced that
Tina Fay remains the odds on favorite

150
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.919
to replace Lorne Michaels when he does
step down. Well, we all stepped

151
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.240
down eventually for one reason or another. Seth Myers said, whoever goes after

152
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.279
the person who replaces in there,
that's the job. They should do a

153
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.519
favor and just go to Monster dot
com and hire somebody with no background in

154
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.919
TV. Let them replace Lorn for
six months and have the entertainment press put

155
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.799
them on a spit Tell that person
coming in here, you're just here to

156
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.960
take off the heat and you'll get
a golden parachute. That's like what David

157
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.480
Lee roth File at Harwood stirred exactly, that they should get somebody who's not

158
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.080
on TV, because after that they'll
never work in TV again. Are you

159
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.960
a fan of the TV show Dave
starring rapper Little Dicky Well. The soundtrack

160
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.600
for the first three seasons is coming
out on January nineteenth. It is entitled

161
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.360
penif Little Dicky's first album in eight
years. Dave Bird said, I realize

162
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.759
this year. I took a step
back and looked at all the different music

163
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.720
that's made it in the first three
seasons of the show. There's enough here,

164
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.240
great body of work in a project
that could put out as a soundtrack.

165
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.720
I think this will be a cool
thing for fans who've watched the show,

166
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.720
and for people who have never seen
the show. I think they'll enjoy

167
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.039
listening to this as a body of
music. And now that's spoiler for Trevor

168
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.600
Noah's a special again. I'll babble
here for five seconds case you want to

169
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.080
hit stop. It's nothing horrible,
but you know, let's tell you something

170
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.600
that happens in the special. You
already okay, there's a cameo. Do

171
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.639
you want to know who the cameo
is? If you don't hit stop,

172
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.600
you still here. Here comes to
the spoiler in the special. Trevor Noah

173
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.240
begins to sing Sweet Caroline, which
he says is pure uncut Caucasian joy.

174
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.279
The audience joins in. Trevor points
out, you were like, this is

175
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.480
it, this is our moment.
Cameras then followed Trevor Noa as he exits

176
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.440
the theater and gets into an SUV. Who's in the suv? Neil Diamond.

177
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.399
Neil asked Trevor how'd we do?
Trevor says, it works every time,

178
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.559
Neil Diamond, it works every time. Trevor said, I had to

179
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.080
make quite what a few calls to
get somebody to get to somebody to get

180
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.000
to somebody to get to somebody who
would eventually get to him. He called

181
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.399
the appearance of the stuff that dreams
are made of. And that's your comedy

182
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.480
news for today. If you enjoy
the show, tell a friend about it.

183
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.440
They might like it too. And
if you want to support the show,

184
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.399
you can go to buy me a
coffee. Dot com slash daily comedy

185
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.159
news through a couple bucks in the
tip shower. Today's Wednesday. But I

186
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.879
can't go to trivia because my daughter
is a concert. So I guess I'll

187
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.000
take your money and I'll get an
iced coffee, as the website intended,

188
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.879
see you tomorrow
