00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.240
I gotta tell you, I'm exhausted just from writing today's script. Hello,
3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.880
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news from the
4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.039
Hollywood Reporter. In a previously unreported element of Jimmy Kimmel's
5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:25.480
brief suspension from ABC, apparently representatives from the Sinclair Broadcasting
6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.359
Group reached out to Erica Kirk, who's the widow of
7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.240
Charlie Kirk, to see if the Sinclair's could help secure
8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.520
an apology from Jimmy Kimmel. Erica Kirk told this on
9
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.719
Fox News. She was speaking to Jesse Waters. Waters asked Kirk, Now,
10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.960
I'm going to editorialize here. I think this is a
11
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.600
very loaded question. I do not like the way this
12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.679
question is phrased. Waters asked Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel lied about
13
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.359
your husband's murder and didn't really apologize. What would you
14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.359
say to Jimmy Kimmel. Let me jump in again. No
15
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.759
one should be murdered, but Jimmy Kimmel lied about your
16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.240
husband's murder. Listen once again to what Jimmy Kimmel actually said.
17
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.000
This is a Trump joke, Listen to it.
18
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.879
We hit some new lows over the weekend with the
19
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.840
Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
20
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.319
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and
21
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.640
do everything they can to score political points from it.
22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.000
In between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday,
23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.400
the White House flew the flags at half staff, which
24
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.680
got some criticism, but on a human level, you can
25
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.280
see how hard the President is taking this.
26
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.400
I think don't down a lot of your friend.
27
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.680
Charlie Kirk asked sir personally, how are you holding up
28
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.680
for the last day and a half, Sir, I think
29
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.920
very good. And by the way, right there you see
30
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.079
all the Trumps. They've just started construction of the new
31
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.959
ball room for the White House, which is something they've
32
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.519
been trying to get, as you know, for about one
33
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.480
hundred and fifty years, and it's going to be a beauty.
34
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.480
Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief. Construction, there's demolition.
35
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.000
This Stuck said.
36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.640
This is not how an adult grieves the murder of
37
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.599
somebody called a friend. This is how a four year
38
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.039
old mourns a goldfish.
39
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.400
Okay, back to Jesse Waters again, his phrasing Jimmy Kimmel
40
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.520
lied about your husband's murder and didn't really apologize. What
41
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.000
would you say to Jimmy Kimmel, Erica Kirk said, same
42
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.240
thing I told Sinclair. They asked, I haven't really told
43
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.879
anybody this, So they asked, do you want you to
44
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.159
give you an apology? Do you want to be on
45
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.560
a show? How can we make it right through our team?
46
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.759
I responded, I said, tell them, thank you. We receive
47
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.759
their note. This is not our issue, not our mess.
48
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.439
If you want to say I'm sorry to someone who's grieving,
49
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.479
go right ahead. But if that's not in your heart,
50
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.479
don't do it. I don't want it, I don't need it,
51
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.960
you may recall. Kimmel addressed this when he returned to air, saying,
52
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.319
I do want to make something clear because it's important
53
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.280
to me as a human that you understand it was
54
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.080
never my intention to make light of the murder of
55
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.879
a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it.
56
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.599
Johnny Mack will comment again, it's clearly a Trump joke.
57
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.639
Listen to the President's reaction to someone being murdered. He
58
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.599
starts bragging about the ballroom.
59
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.120
My ask sir, personally, now are you holding up over
60
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.439
the last day and a half, Sir.
61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:00.360
I think good.
62
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.719
And by the way, right there, you see all the Trumps.
63
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.840
They've just started construction of the new borrel for the
64
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:06.439
White House.
65
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.919
On Monday, John Stewart's spycam went oh, Johnny Mack recorded
66
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.719
Tuesday and Wednesday to accommodate his schedule, this would be
67
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.680
a great time to announce that I'm coming back to
68
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.280
host the Daily Show for another year. Thanks John Stewart.
69
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.319
You couldn't have announced that ten minutes earlier. It was like,
70
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.520
as soon as I hit schedule, I was like, oh, really, dude,
71
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.840
come on. John Stewart will continue to host the Daily
72
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.879
Show on Monday. He will remain as executive producer. Ari
73
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.759
Pierce is head of Comedy Central and said John Stewart
74
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.680
continues to elevate the game he created. His return is
75
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.240
an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary
76
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.039
that define the Daily Show. The renewals will win for audiences,
77
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.000
for Comedy Central and for all our programming partners. We're
78
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.879
proud to support John and the extraordinary news team. Very cool.
79
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:53.719
I mentioned this the other day. If you listen to
80
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.439
the show even today, you might be like Johnny Mack.
81
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.960
It sounds like you're not totally on board with President Trump.
82
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.479
But sometimes I am totally on board with President Trump.
83
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:01.960
I mentioned this the other day when Trump wrote on
84
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.800
True Social Seth Myers of NBC may be the least
85
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.319
talented person to perform live in the history of television.
86
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.439
In fact, he may be the worst to perform live
87
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.599
or otherwise. Now. I don't know about that, but I
88
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.360
think the President and I are a line that we
89
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.000
want to make the late night franchise the twelve thirty
90
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.439
NBC thing previously hosted by Letterman. I think the President
91
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.240
just wants to make NBC's Late Night great again. And
92
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.680
I agree with the President on this fact. Seth Myers,
93
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.720
who hosts the show, for some reason, had a problem
94
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.800
with the president. He said on the show previously hosted
95
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.279
by David Letterman and Conan O'Brien, you wrote, I watched
96
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.160
this show the other night for the first time in years.
97
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.480
But just ten months ago you wrote, I got stuck
98
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.040
watching marble mouth Myers stuck. I find it hard to
99
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.959
believe you let the other people decide what to put on.
100
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.759
Everything about your vibe screams I call the clicker which
101
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.759
is it, you watched me for the first time in
102
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.120
years this week or you watch for the first time
103
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.439
in months in January? Do you not remember? Apparently mister
104
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.600
Myers and the President have been not getting along since
105
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.959
in twenty eleven. Seth Myers there at the White House
106
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.800
Correspondents dinner and joked Donald Trump has been saying that
107
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.600
he'll run for president as a Republican, which is surprising
108
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.199
since I assumed he was running as a choke and
109
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.759
so what we've learned here. But whether it's Seth Myers
110
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.800
or former President Obama, you don't want to make fun
111
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.439
of Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents dinner. He
112
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.639
will remember it. Jimmy Fallon catching grief now. I've seen
113
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.800
a couple reports of this. On Friday's Tonight Show, Fallon's
114
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.360
guest was Hunter Schaeffer, Hunter, who was trans was there
115
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.759
to discuss her role as Tigers Snow in The Hunger
116
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.240
Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. During the segment,
117
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.600
Jimmy Fallon showed an old photograph of Schaeffer as a child,
118
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.879
taken before her transition, in which she wore a costume
119
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.399
inspired by the Hunger Games. Fallon then showed a clip
120
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.439
of Schaffer in the new film and commented, congratulations, Bud.
121
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.319
People on the internet are curious about Jimmy's choice of
122
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.519
the word bud in that context. I started to poke
123
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.839
away yesterday at that long, feisty GQ article Stephen Colbert,
124
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.199
and it'll probably took me a few days to get
125
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.480
through this. Colbert said, the great thing about comedy, not
126
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.480
to take anything away from drama, but the great thing
127
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.639
about comedy is you know when it works. The audience
128
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.959
makes this noise with their mouth, and that really can't
129
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.240
be faked, and you get instantly a sense of we're
130
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.639
here together, and you've hooked up your jumper cables to them.
131
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.560
I jumped a car on Sunday. By the way, it
132
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.879
took me a couple tries. I had my portable jumpers
133
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.160
and that wasn't taking the courts gooning click cick, click,
134
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.399
click click, and then I dug out my old school.
135
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.079
You know the long cables where you have a car
136
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.639
that's working and you jump a car. You know what
137
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.360
jumping a car is. I did at old school with
138
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.439
the long wires, not the portable jumpers. I usually can
139
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.160
get away with it on the portable jumpers. I did
140
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.360
it old school and I got it to run. Bought
141
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.519
a new battery two hundred and eighty bucks. But kudos
142
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.319
to the nice people at the AutoZone. They put it
143
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.839
in for me, easy peasy. I was done in ten minutes.
144
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.759
I digress. Colbert was doing that jumper cables analogy and said,
145
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.600
there's an energy that goes to you, to them and
146
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.720
them to you. When it's working really well, you walk
147
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.759
off stage with more energy than when you walked on stage.
148
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.959
I've never been sick on stage. I've been very sick.
149
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.759
I did a show where I had a burst appendix
150
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.600
and I did a double show. I didn't know my
151
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.040
appendix was burst. Wow. I didn't know what was wrong
152
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.480
with me. But I was sweating and thought I might
153
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.639
pass out, and I was in so much While you're laughing, John,
154
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.040
I don't know, but I thought I might pass out
155
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.639
and was in so much pain that I was crying
156
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.920
in commercial breaks. But during the show I could just
157
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.279
get through it, and I did two shows. I did
158
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.360
a double show that night. Then afterwards my wife made
159
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.120
sure that my driver took me straight to the hospital.
160
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.319
I got there and they said, oh, you have a
161
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.600
burst appendix. We have to take this out right now
162
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.160
a lot more to get to there. We have time.
163
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.560
I do the show three hundred and sixty five days
164
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.199
a year, plusant bonus episode, so I'll get to it,
165
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.560
trust me. Bill Mooher ripped Jimmy Kimmel for thanking everybody
166
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.560
but Bill Maher. Mar said, Look, Jimmy Parry doesn't like
167
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.639
me too much anymore because he thanked everybody but me.
168
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.759
And I was adamant about supporting him that week and
169
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.240
the next week. I can't lie and say I think
170
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.120
what he said was accurate, but I was adamant he
171
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.040
shouldn't be thrown off the air. He did a great show.
172
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.920
I went on and on, Bill, do you need me
173
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.720
to play the clip again? I don't want to play
174
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.759
the clip again. Why you just hit rewind like twelve
175
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.800
times and go back where I just played it. It's
176
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.240
a Trump joke. It's not a Charlie Kirk joke. It's
177
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.240
a Trump joke. The president was asked about somebody he's
178
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.399
supposedly really tight with being murdered, and the guy went, oh, yeah,
179
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.439
how about the beautiful construction behind me. It's a Trump joke.
180
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.800
Mar called Kimmel's format and the other late night shows
181
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.120
very predictable. Him and host like that. Quite frankly, they're
182
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.920
all quite similar in this regard is that they're ideologically
183
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.759
captured by one side. It's not just what I do,
184
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.680
what I'm doing. And so there's a reason why half
185
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.199
the country feels insulted by those hosts and has turned
186
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.759
off to them because it's just one very predictable point
187
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.000
of view. And this proves that it's often not completely accurate,
188
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.559
because that was not a smart thing to say that
189
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.080
this guy who shot Charlie Kirk was on the Mega team.
190
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.200
That is not what Kimmel was seeing. Kimmel was pointing out.
191
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.080
The Republicans were very quick to say, Hey, he's not
192
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.600
one of us, that's not he gonna listen to the joke, Bill,
193
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.440
do you need me? I'm gonna play it again, Bill.
194
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.120
Here it is again, Bill, Listen.
195
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.200
We hit some new lows over the weekend with the
196
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.600
Maga gang desperately trying characterize this kid who murdered Charlie
197
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.480
Kirk as anything other than one of them.
198
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.720
Mark said, because that's just something the Blue Sky crowd
199
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.000
told themselves. And if you're that far in the bubble.
200
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.360
We don't really see both sides, and you don't. You're
201
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.159
gonna believe that blue sky point of view. Nobody's on
202
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.799
blue sky. Dude, what are you talking about? John Will
203
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.639
talk about something else. Okay. Vulture had a cool headline
204
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.720
caught my eye. It's called Leanne Morgan versus Leanne Morgan.
205
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.360
They were talking about her new special. Some spoilers here.
206
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:30.200
I saw Dylan in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
207
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.519
Podcast Group. Please feel encouraged to join us. We've had
208
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.639
some new members who are participating, which is great. Like
209
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.559
when you guys start the conversations, that's awesome. To join.
210
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.559
You'll have to answer a few questions to make sure
211
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.399
you're not a pornbot. Some light spoilers for Leanne's special
212
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.679
coming up here. Vulture writes she's blown up. She's on
213
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.720
Amy Poehler's podcast and a movie playing Reese Witherspoon's sister
214
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.600
and starring as a version of herself in the new
215
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.559
Chucklory sitcom called Leanne. She's no longer just Leanne Morgan.
216
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.360
She's Leanne Morgan gone Hollywood. It's all happened very quickly
217
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.840
as a result unspeakable thing the new special is an incomplete,
218
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.559
underdeveloped look at whoever Morgan is now becoming someone famous
219
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.320
Vulture Rights. Morgan's great gift as a comedian is in
220
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.799
drawing vivid imagery. Unspeakable Things opens with a recap of
221
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.840
her life over the last few years, et cetera, et cetera.
222
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.000
Morgan positions herself throughout the specials opening sections. She may
223
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.159
find herself hanging out with Will Ferrell on the hair
224
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.279
and makeup crew of a straight to streaming rom com,
225
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.519
but they're celebrities. She's the one with big old mama breasts.
226
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:27.639
She's the one still grounded, still trapped by all the
227
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.559
rules of the human bodies and moral standards that keep
228
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.480
people from losing themselves to fame, and unlike everyone else
229
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.600
in Hollywood, She's got enough of a footback in the
230
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.960
real world that she can still see how wild the
231
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.600
world really is. Skipping ahead Vulture Rights. If all of
232
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.080
Unspeable Things was built around that premise, or at least
233
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.919
willing to go deeper into Morgan's ambivalence about Hollywood culture,
234
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.919
it would be a stronger hour. But after the first
235
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.000
twenty minutes of Morgan grappling with her current life Unspeakable
236
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.039
Things pivots backward into a family album of Morgan's past.
237
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.759
Hey listener checked in with me and ask me, am
238
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.679
I actually mad about the Riodd Comedy Festival or am
239
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.600
I doing a bit? And I said I would address
