00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.240
Hey there, I am Johnnie Mack and my dog seems
3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.199
to be co hosting. Today. We have two day's Daily
4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.440
Comedy News. Some housekeeping before I begin. As I've mentioned
5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.559
on the last few episodes, my son graduated from college
6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.559
on Friday. So I'm actually recording this Thursday around lunchtime.
7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.760
And I'm sharing that because I feel like some of
8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.960
the stories may have modified between then and now. Is
9
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.240
I just want to get in front of that because
10
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.920
I tape this on Thursday. I haven't seen Saturday Night
11
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.880
Live yet. I'll talk about that on tomorrow's episode. And boy,
12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.439
I gotta tell you, I've been thinking a lot about
13
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.240
the late night stuff and there's been a bunch of
14
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.840
conan articles. I shared those in the Facebook group Daily
15
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.240
Comedy News podcast Group. I have some thoughts about late
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.679
night Mount Rushmore. I've been thinking about this a lot.
17
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.719
I can't wait to record all this stuff. I just
18
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.000
don't have time because of the graduation. So here's Monday's episode.
19
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.799
And as I record this. On Thursday, TMZ was reporting
20
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.319
theo Vaughn caught on camera grabbing the throat of a
21
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.760
man at a Nashville bar. As the story goes. Footage
22
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.200
obtained by TMZ last Wednesday shows THEO Vaughn at the
23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.760
twelve thirty Club on May second, arguing with a man
24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.840
holding a bouquet of birthday balloons. The video apparently shows
25
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.280
THEO Vaughn thrusting the man away before the video cuts
26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.400
to Theovon shoving the man by the throat. It's unclear
27
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.359
if the two shoves were from different vantage points whether
28
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.799
Von shoved the man twice. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department
29
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.319
confirmed the incident to the New York Daily News and
30
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.519
identified the man. Two days after the altercation, officers were
31
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.280
sent to the apartment of the man, whose quote allegation
32
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.680
of misdemeanor assault by mister Vaughan was investigated and staffed
33
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.680
with the District Attorney's office, which determined there will be
34
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.079
no action taken concerning the complaint. Police did not say
35
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.200
what led to the altercation. Sources told TMZ that the
36
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.680
man at his group had been repeatedly harassed Vaughan and
37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.519
using threatening language again. And I want to be crystal clear,
38
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.799
I'm recording this on Thursday, and I'll have any updates
39
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.840
if any, on tomorrow's podcast. Also breaking as I record this.
40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.360
On Thursday, Media I picked up on a conversation Rogan
41
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.120
had with Tom Segura. As they report it, Rogan argued
42
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.360
against banning Kanye West's new song. Now, I have to
43
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.560
be careful here because I don't want to get kicked
44
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.680
off the platforms that I'm on. But if you google
45
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.439
Kanye West's new song, the title is a salutation you
46
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.280
would say to the greatest of all World War two villains. Okay,
47
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.639
so we know who we're talking about, the guy with
48
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.719
a mustache, that guy, and there was a way you
49
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.280
would greet him. That's the name of the song, Rogan said,
50
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.080
first of all, kind of catchy. Segura said, what's the
51
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.240
problem with it? The guy from production has never lost
52
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.439
a step? You know what. Let me actually pull the
53
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.520
audio here. Okay, I've got the audio here. I've made
54
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.520
a couple edits for swear words, but I've left the
55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.919
integrity of the comment in place. So I think if
56
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.879
you hear Sigora and Rogan's tune, the headline is a
57
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.039
little alarmist. But let's listen to a clip from the
58
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.039
Joe Rogan experience.
59
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.560
Bro what is what? Here's the thing?
60
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:12.400
What?
61
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.719
Well, that's the problem with it, that's the problem. It's
62
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.759
like the guy from production like he's never lost a step.
63
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.039
He can make a beat, he can like he's so talented.
64
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.159
He's a genius. He's a talented producer. Man. I do
65
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.719
think it's like when, first of all, I think people
66
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.400
are kind of done asking him questions because most it
67
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.319
puts out is like self released kind of commentary or
68
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.719
thoughts because he's saying just crazy, you know, it's the
69
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.719
craziest thing. But there is a thing where that song
70
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.439
is like what what are you doing, dude? Like, what
71
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.800
are you doing for ultimate pushing back? Yeah, I guess,
72
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.719
but there is like, like, I I think I have
73
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.080
a pretty you know, let things go kind of vibe
74
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.840
to me obviously, Joe, Yeah, that shows ridiculous. It's ridiculous show.
75
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.919
And I've always been like, yes, say whatever you're gonna say.
76
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.120
But I do think, like making a catchy song about that,
77
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.560
I'm like, what are you doing? Man?
78
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.520
So Garo goes on to say, is that cool to do?
79
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.280
I guess if you're like, well, it's fun totrol the masses.
80
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.400
What I'm saying like, at a minimum, you're going to
81
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.439
get less educated people to go, that's a fun thing
82
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.360
to say, and you're like, is that good. Rogan made
83
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.959
clear that he does not support anti semitism or racism,
84
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.920
but then argue that banning Kanye's song may give it
85
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.839
more influence. Rogan argues, there's a benefit to just letting
86
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.160
people talk. Let people say whatever the bleep they want
87
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.399
to say, even if it sucks. This is the benefit
88
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.199
of Twitter. But it's also the bad part. It's like,
89
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.879
the Bleeping song has so many millions of hits on Twitter.
90
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.879
It's been banned on every platform. But is it good
91
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.959
to ban things from platform or is it better to
92
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.079
let it be out there and let people talk about it.
93
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.800
God On O'Brien had a lengthy interview with The Today's Show.
94
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.279
They've released the ninety minute version. I did share that
95
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.279
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. I'll
96
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.600
pick of that over the next few days. One of
97
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.240
the things Kina talked about was learning of the death
98
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.680
of his parents. Conan said, I was in Austria when
99
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.560
my brother Luke called me and said Dad passed and
100
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.639
rushed back to Boston and there his mother was not
101
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.800
doing well. Conan said, and I could tell that she
102
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.120
was going which was surreal, and she passed within three
103
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.439
days of my dad passing, and the funeral became a
104
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.480
double funeral and the scramble to get that together and
105
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.040
all the emotions that come with it. During this time,
106
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.759
he was getting ready to host the Oscars. Conan explains,
107
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.680
the minute Christmas was over, I was like, Okay, you
108
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.240
just have to get to work on the Oscars because
109
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.360
there's not much time. Then the fire's hit and we
110
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.800
were evacuated and we were living in a hotel. He
111
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.279
found solace in his work, explaining it's healing to be
112
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:35.839
in a room with really funny people that no one
113
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.480
care about me, and to be working on something that
114
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.160
we're trying to make that positive and life affirming and silly.
115
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.199
Of his parents, he said they were very proud Kathy Griffin,
116
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.040
who's one of those personalities that like, every time her
117
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.759
name comes up, there's always like strife. Oh, it's never Oh,
118
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.319
Kathy Griffin had a nice day and pet some puppies.
119
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.079
There's always something. She was on a YouTube show, Talk
120
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.240
Your Head Off and called Stephen Colbert a D word,
121
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.000
the one for genitalia. That one. We try and keep
122
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.319
it clean here at Daily Comedy News. This all gets
123
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.600
back to Kathy Griffin and the thing with the really
124
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.959
famous politician that prompted the Secret Service to investigate Kathy Griffin.
125
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.079
Remember all that, Yeah, So, as Kathy tells it, a
126
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.720
segment producer from The Late Show agreed that they wouldn't
127
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.439
talk about the picture. However, according to Kathy, the producer
128
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.160
went back on his word when she arrived at the
129
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.160
set of Colbert and told her Colbert wants to talk
130
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.519
about the picture. Kathy recalls being distraught and nervous. She
131
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.240
was just hoping to promote her performance at Carnegie Hall.
132
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.639
She says, she told the producer, if you get down
133
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.160
the road of talking about the picture and get really
134
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.079
dark and the details from the fallout from the picture
135
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.279
of dark as well. Colbert knows that picture was covered,
136
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.879
and he knows my investigation was bs and he makes
137
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.439
fun of Donald Trump, and we all know Trump is
138
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.560
nothing but a clown. So I think we're like minded
139
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.079
on this. He goes in and about the Trump picture,
140
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:52.519
but he goes in hard. He went in with the
141
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.399
line of questioning of the what were you thinking and
142
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.800
that you must have known it was too far and
143
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.240
that sort of thing was a line of questioning. I
144
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.279
remember thinking, Wow, he has way more of a buys
145
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.920
against me and my right to take that photo that
146
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.519
I imagined in my worst case scenario. Cathy claims that
147
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.879
Colbert kept going and going about the topic, and then
148
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.800
the tears came. I felt my eyes fill up, and
149
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.199
I thought, oh God, no, anything but this. Anything but
150
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.279
you're a grown woman who's a female comedian trying to
151
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.240
prove you can keep up with the boys who cannot cry.
152
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.879
I'm glad to say, not one tier escape my tear, duck.
153
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.240
So I did not cry. I did not have a
154
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.879
tier that was visible to the audience. I don't think
155
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.000
the audience could tell that my eyes filled up. I
156
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.160
do think Stephen could tell. Didn't stop him. I do
157
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.279
not feel he had any empathy, but I did feel
158
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.160
he had an understanding of what was happening, and that's
159
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.839
what made it worse. And I remember thinking, you asked
160
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.079
him to be on the show. I'm a guest, this
161
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.600
is your show, this is your world. This is fascinating
162
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.839
because I don't think I've ever heard a bad word
163
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.439
about Stephen Colbert. I'm not at all surprised that Colbert
164
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.439
would want to bring the topic up if you're going
165
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.759
to book Kathy Griffin, Hey, Kathy, so you're playing Carnegie Hall. Yeah,
166
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.519
I am. It's gonna be a great show. Sure, what
167
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.120
do you think is going to happen? Cathy said, I
168
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.439
have such a low opinion of Stephen Colbert. Now he's
169
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.079
not gonna hear it, but if he does, he'll probably
170
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.680
is shoot one of those statements saying I made the
171
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.600
whole thing up and then I'm irrelevant, and then he
172
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.519
didn't know I was crying. No, I recorded this four
173
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.560
days ago. I don't see Stephen Colbert putting out a
174
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.279
statement in saying, oh they go the Griffins lie. I
175
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.240
don't see that happening. I'm so used to guys making
176
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.839
statements like that about me. It's ridiculous. Kathy also accused
177
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.720
Colbert of punching down. He's just accomplished just about everything
178
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.680
he can as a comedian, and he's wildly talented, and
179
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.079
he's obviously very bright. But man, what a D word?
180
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.399
What a D word? And to go for me, of
181
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.959
all people, just to me, it was so lace with misogyny,
182
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.319
but that undercurrent of misogyny where Wo'd probably be shocked
183
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.360
to hear that anyone accused him of having announce of misogyny.
184
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.240
But I remember thinking he would not talk down to
185
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.039
the guys like this. He just wouldn't. I don't think
186
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.879
I've ever seen him treat any of the guy comics
187
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.159
like this. I walked off, and I remember I was
188
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.159
about one step away from the desk and the tears came,
189
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.679
but I was still smiling and waving, and I could
190
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.679
feel coming down my cheeks. The EP executive producer rushed
191
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.399
over to me, so that was crying, and I just said,
192
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.960
what was that? What was that? Kathy said? The producer
193
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.799
tried to explain Colbert's questioning. He just couldn't get over
194
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.240
the picture. He just can't get over it, quoting Kathy here,
195
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.639
and I go, what's for him to get over? I
196
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.240
don't understand. It wasn't a picture of his decapitated head,
197
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.320
Kathy says. The EP said, Steven's really Catholic, and I go,
198
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.240
what what does that have to do with anything? I
199
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.080
was raised Catholic too, And he said, I think it's
200
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.960
just what it is. And I said, okay, I can't
201
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.879
make any sense of that. Kathy has a plea to
202
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.519
Stephen Colbert. I'm just being honest to the best of
203
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.960
my recollection. So Stephen Colbert, please don't be a d
204
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960
word again and sue me. I just wanted to tell
205
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.159
the folks the wiles, behind the scenes story of any
206
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.120
talk show I've ever done, and now you know why
207
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.080
I haven't been on that show since and never will
208
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.840
be again. Boy, that's just a lot. Oh what else
209
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.679
gonna tell you about? I've got this millenia article that
210
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.000
I shared in the Facebook group Daily comedyws podcast group.
211
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.639
But let's do that one tomorrow. Jordan Klepper, he's got

a Daily Show branded special eleven thirty on Comedy Central.
220
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.919
So last week was the NFL schedule reveal. The Kansas
221
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.960
City Chiefs grabbed Ben Bailey, you know, the cash Cab guy.
222
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.000
The Chiefs had a cab made and blazon with a
223
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.360
customed Casey taxi logo on the doors. Chiefs Chief marketing
224
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.559
officer Lara Krug said, these viral schedule, these videos have
225
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.000
taken on a life of their own. This year, we
226
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.840
wanted to do something different and found a formula that
227
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.399
works really well. How do we tap into entertainment and
228
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.919
the cultural zeitgeist. The team came up with some ideas
229
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.519
and the minute a concept surfaced around cash Cab, we
230
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.120
saw the potential. It's such a nostalgic show with huge
231
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.279
fans behind it. We thought what if we were able
232
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.919
to bring it back and recreate it. I mean nothing
233
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.000
against cash Cab, but is there really cash Cab nostalgia?
234
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.480
Were the people in the Chiefs Marty group. Yeah, we
235
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.039
gotta get Ben Bailey in a cab, like really and
236
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.000
it's fun at all, but it's not like the most
237
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.960
amazing idea. Krug explained. In order for Chiefs Cab to work,
238
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.720
they needed Ben Bailey. She says, there could be no
239
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.480
version of this where you didn't have the original host
240
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.919
be part of it. You think we're small and mighty
241
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.000
in the marketing department. Are you Chiefs been pretty successful
242
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.120
last ten years? Don't You're in the NFL. You guys
243
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.559
have money. Don't act like you don't have money. And
