00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jonny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.400
comedy news. Theovonn had Donald Trump on. They started talking

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.000
about cocaine. They were discussing opioids when Trump asked the Vonn,

4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.920
who was in recovery from cocaine but not opioid addiction,

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.800
how he'd gotten addicted to drugs himself. Vaughn said, I

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.440
would just do cocaine. Trump laughed and remark, that's down dirty, right.

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.719
He also asked if von still takes cocaine or if

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.039
it became too much to handle. THEO said, some of

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.079
the stuff started to get a real rattle in it too.

10
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.799
I don't know where we were even getting it from

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.399
in this country, but yeah, it started to making me

12
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.159
feel like I was a mechanic or something. Trump was curious,

13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.840
So the thing you go back to then is alcohol

14
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.960
for the most part, THEO said, yeah, but what I

15
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.960
probably want is cocaine. But I know if I have

16
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.719
a drink that'll get me. It'll be like, all right,

17
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.079
if I had a drink, then I could do this.

18
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.039
Trump asked, is cocaine a stronger up? Vaughn said, cocaine

19
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.039
will turn you into a damn owl, homie. You know

20
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:58.840
what I'm saying, You'll be out on your own porch.

21
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.359
Trump jumped in and said, and that it's a good feeling,

22
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.480
and THEO Vaughn said, no, it's horrible. Trump. So it's

23
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.519
not even good during what would normally be the good time.

24
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.439
In other words, so why would you do it? You

25
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.640
think you're controlling it? And Vaughn said yeah, and then

26
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.280
you're go kart racing with hookers and stuff. It gets bad.

27
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:15.920
During the interview, Trump attributed his own a version of

28
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.959
alcohol to some advice he'd gotten from his brother decades ago.

29
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.640
I had a great brother who taught me a lesson,

30
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.079
don't drink. Trump's older brother, Fred, died in nineteen eighty

31
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.359
one at age forty two from a heart attack that

32
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.560
his family said stem from alcoholism. Trump told THEO that

33
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.519
Fred was a great guy. He was a handsome, very

34
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.439
handsome guy. Admired so much about him. He had so

35
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.879
much going a the look, he had unbelievable personality. Somewhere

36
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.599
along the line, it happened all of a sudden. You know,

37
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.840
it's not unique, it's a very common story, unfortunately. And

38
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.480
then the family would see it and start to notice

39
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.480
it it didn't get better. I would say that if

40
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.719
I did drink, I could conceivably be the type of

41
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.560
person on an alley they would have like you, like

42
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.959
I have a problem. He was wise in a sense.

43
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.480
Think of it. He got this problem and it was

44
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.159
very important for him to convey to me to not

45
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.439
have the problem. And I couldn't have been successful if

46
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.959
I had that problem. He had a great talent for flying.

47
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.760
He was a pilot, but ultimately had to give that

48
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.480
up because the alcohol. He had to give that up,

49
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.239
which was a hard thing for him to do, but

50
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.519
he had to give that up. Excited did you take

51
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.639
the week off like I did to watch Adam Sandler

52
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.400
special Tomorrow? It's out on Netflix. Can't wait? Sandler told

53
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.759
Vulture before we did the show, I did a set

54
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.360
at the Hayworth in LA with no monitors, no nothing.

55
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.199
I just went up there with a guitar and did it.

56
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.080
All the jokes are nice when they're just jokes. Josh Safti,

57
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.199
who directed it, said, we had to sell that the

58
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.199
monitors didn't work, so we built a venue where that

59
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.560
would make sense. We wanted to make it look like

60
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.879
it had been there for sixty years. At a real vibe.

61
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.039
John Tuturo said it was like hanging out his friend's

62
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.599
basement and laughing at his funniest friends. Adam Sandler's Love

63
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.479
You a Little over seventy minutes. Oh that's awesome, and

64
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.199
it had to be cut down for more than three

65
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.159
hours of footage from six shows performed at this purposely

66
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.759
ramshackle spot where the mayhem could come at any moment.

67
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.319
That means not only were we getting seventy minutes of

68
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.400
hilarious Adam Sandler comedy, there's like two plus hours of

69
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.919
unreleased footage. Maybe we can get a Blu ray with

70
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.919
some extras, and maybe they could make three more spec

71
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.400
out of this. Boy, the world's gonna get all this

72
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.520
Adam Sandler outtakes. Imagine how exciting the stuff that didn't

73
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.400
make the special, How great that stuff must be. I

74
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.560
can't wait. Jimmy Carr, whose comedy I Enjoy a Lot,

75
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.479
is set to host a UK version of Last One

76
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.000
Laughing for Prime Video. In the Last One Laughing, Jimmy

77
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.639
Carr will challenge ten of the UK's top comedians to

78
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.840
make each other laugh, with the last one to laugh

79
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.800
crown the winner. The press release says famous for his

80
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.120
dark humor one liners. In That Laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges

81
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.479
ten of Britain's funniest comics to spend the day together

82
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.759
without so much as cracking a smile. Over the course

83
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.319
of the series, they will use every ounce of their

84
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.719
comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking

85
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.560
up themselves. There have been twenty international versions of this,

86
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.560
including France, Germany and Italy. Rebel Wilson hosts the Australian version.

87
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.000
I think from memory, didn't Trevor Noah do a version

88
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.960
of this too? Carr said, I'm thrilled to be making

89
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.599
Last One Laughing UK with Prime Video. It's short to

90
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.520
deliver and if it doesn't, it will leave the fun

91
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.879
with your neighbors. Usually when I make a TV show

92
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.879
with ten brilliant comics, I'm expecting everyone to have al

93
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.879
what a good laugh, But not in this series. The

94
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.639
Last One Laughing wins. It's a great format and it's

95
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.280
been a huge hit around the world. I can't wait

96
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.120
to see who cracks up first. A Lot of Glazer

97
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.800
has a new comedy special coming to Hulu. This one

98
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.560
called Human Magic. It was taped at the Elgin in

99
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.199
Winter Garden Theater Center in Toronto. In May, Hulu stepping

100
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.399
it up. So now we have specials. They're going to

101
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.399
do one a month. So we have Jim Gaffigan, Bill

102
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.120
Burrroywood Junior, and now a lot of Glazer. That's exciting.

103
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.720
More bad news from Christina Pee. She explained on her

104
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.439
podcast that she did have the surgery to remove the cancer,

105
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.399
but and I'll quote her here, she needs to get

106
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.680
a quote pair of fakers because additional surgeries are needed.

107
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.199
She said, they didn't, unfortunately get everything. After we did

108
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.319
the first surgery. They went through the materially took out

109
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.079
and there's still some laughs. So mom is gonna have

110
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.600
to go back and get chop chops, both taitas. But

111
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.360
then I'll get some real nice fakers. She joked about

112
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.519
how she'll wind up having four sets of breasts in

113
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.879
her lifetime, the originals these then reduced, then attempt track

114
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.120
they're gonna put in like temporary ones. I won't be flat,

115
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.519
and then the final result, which I'm super stoked for.

116
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:02.959
After this, I should be right his reign. I feel

117
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.160
positive about it. It only took me what nine days

118
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.360
to come back after my surgery. Shane Gillis was on

119
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.040
a Knicks podcast and said, yeah, the Knicks suck. Dude.

120
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.120
It's all good though, you guys want a serious It's

121
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.000
felt so good of the Garden back the mecca of

122
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.720
basketball at a zero Bleepin' rings. Nick four Josh Hart

123
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.319
took to social media to respond to Shane Gillis, saying, man,

124
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.439
I like Shane Gillis, now I gotta hate him. Vulcher

125
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.680
had somebody at Ellen's last show. They wrote the mood

126
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.079
was lively outside Minneapolis's Orpheum Theater ahead of the comedian's

127
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.000
final tour stop. A pair of religious protesters interrupted the

128
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.360
pre show buzz with some biblical stuff. One woman near

129
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.199
the box office yelled, you don't know crap. Had a

130
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.759
man in a T shirt which read repent or perish. Opener.

131
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.519
Tom Ryles till the audience tonight, you are all part

132
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.399
of history. This is the last time Ellen will ever

133
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.839
be on stage performing comedy again, and we're tabing in

134
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.399
for in Netflix. Tom Ryles, a former Ellen show employee,

135
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.079
didn't tell jokes. He spent the time apparently ushering the

136
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.879
audience into a zone of Ellen, writes Vulture. Tom Morales

137
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.519
told charming anecdotes about his boss, including one about her

138
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.439
lobbying him to name his daughter Ellen. The audience was

139
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.360
apparently raucus. One observational bid about how restaurant menus should

140
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.360
feature a large print option for old people or in

141
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.800
the kind of applause usually reserved for closers. Ellen joked

142
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.600
about how she closed her show with be kind of

143
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.720
one Another and said, had I ended my show by saying,

144
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.120
go f yourself, people would have been pleasantly surprised. Egyptian

145
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.959
American comedian and TV host bossum Usef has deactivated his

146
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:36.319
Twitter account citing safety concerns. Yousef said anti Semitism was

147
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.759
an accusation that used to freeze the blood in people's veins.

148
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.079
I see many people now realizing how the sphere tactic

149
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.680
is used to shut down conversations and scare people. It's

150
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.680
been overused and abused in order to intimidate people. He

151
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.199
later clarified in an Instagram post that he was not banned.

152
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.079
He wrote, no, my Twitter account wasn't taken down by X,

153
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.680
and I don't wish to falsely victimize myself using this.

154
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.519
When safety issues concerning my loved ones are alleviated, I

155
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.480
might consent coming back. I wish to deal with this

156
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.879
away from the media. I'll still be posting my content

157
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.800
on TikTok, Insta and Facebook. Punky Johnson talked to Entertainment

158
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.560
Weekly about leaving Saturday Night Live and said it's a

159
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.000
big decision. I feel like with me and SNL was

160
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.439
a neutral thing. By February of last season, I was like, nope,

161
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.720
I'm done this season. Before that, I questioned it, and

162
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.319
I talked to my team like, I really don't know

163
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.959
if I belong at this job, so maybe I should

164
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.480
step away. I told them super super late, right after

165
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.439
I found i'd get to go back, and they're like, Punky,

166
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.319
you need a plan. You can't just quit your job.

167
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.480
I never grew up in sketch. I never went to

168
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.319
a sketch school. I didn't really feel like I fit

169
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.319
like it was in my zone. That show's for a

170
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.519
different type of person. I'm crazy, mo r out of

171
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.360
the box. I'm all over the place. That show is

172
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.279
a structure. She said about Lauren Michaels, and the tone

173
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.399
here is lovingly. I think I drove him crazy to

174
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.199
the point where he just started ignoring me. He's just like,

175
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.120
get out of my face, I'd mess with him. My

176
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.199
relationship with the show is still strong, and we just

177
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.839
mutually understood that it wasn't my zone. Saturday Night Live,

178
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.120
