00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.119
daily comedy news. Incase you missed it. I dropped another
3
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:18.440
Colber Bonus episode yesterday around noon. So much to catch
4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.199
up on. It has been busy since Shane Gillis hosted
5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.359
the SPS and then Colbert Gate happened. Let's catch up
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.640
on THEO Vaughn, who called out Vice President j D.
7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.199
Vance for changing a stance on the release of files
8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.399
related to Jeffrey Epstein. THEO Vaughn first reposted a clip
9
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.719
from his October podcast with Vance, in which Vance told listeners, quote, seriously,
10
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.960
we need to release the Epstein list this is an
11
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.920
important thing. In a separate post, Levon asked, yeah, what changed?
12
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.679
Mark Maron and talked about his beef with John Stewart,
13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.600
calling John Stewart his nemesis. Maren said, there was a
14
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.479
jealousy to it, but it got consuming. But it went
15
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.079
on a long time and he knew it. We've had
16
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.079
confrontations about it and we are not friends. Apparently this
17
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.600
goes back to the nineteen nineties when both Maren and
18
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.959
John Stuart were trying to be the quote King of Politics,
19
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.120
satsire or whatever. A battle. Maren said, Stuart has won.
20
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.920
When I was coming up as a comic, he had
21
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:11.840
always thinks just because he had committed to a haircut
22
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.920
and away presenting, but like he was just everywhere. John
23
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.319
always represented to me while I was failing. So when
24
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.560
I see him and act like he was peraxonentally destroying me.
25
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.760
In a two thousand and nine set, Mark Maron referred
26
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.439
to John Stewart as quote Jewish pander monkey. Mark Maron
27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.280
is also Jewish, Maren said on Conan. Because of that,
28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:32.920
he doesn't particularly like me. I don't think it's a
29
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.840
daily thing, but I know it him to the point
30
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.400
where that was a reality. Maren told NPR he invited
31
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.439
John on WTF a few years ago to apologize on
32
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.040
the air. John Stewart told him, Hey, I don't know
33
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.959
if you remember, you know what a jerk faced d
34
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.280
word you were to me back in the day. There's
35
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.159
no love here man. Maren apparently never made a second request.
36
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.680
Maren told Rollingstone in twenty twelve he said, look, I
37
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.439
always though you're very creative, and I'm sure whatever you're
38
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.959
doing is nice, and if you want to have coffee,
39
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.319
it might be willing to do that Maren said his
40
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.359
behavior was resentment insecurity, jealousy, and he laughed that even
41
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.120
Jon Stewart is a podcaster now over the act of it,
42
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.280
the fact that he, like everybody landing with a podcast.
43
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.599
That's satisfying because I helped create it all right after
44
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.360
I recorded like the entire weekend because I just wanted
45
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.280
to go to the beach. In between me doing that
46
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.199
and Colbert Gate, Variety on a Thursday afternoon released ten
47
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.439
Comics to Watch. Now, what's weird about that is normally,
48
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.159
like I record this podcast, you know, I do this
49
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.319
seven days a week. Normally, anything you want that makes
50
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.360
the trades comes out by ten am Eastern. So it
51
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.400
was really weird that Variety released the ten Comics to
52
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.599
Watch at twelve thirty or so Eastern time on Thursday.
53
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.159
As I'm recording on late morning on Monday, I'm kind
54
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.719
of frustrated that JFL hasn't released the New Faces list
55
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.319
yet because I want to tell you about that. Anyway,
56
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.319
Variety's ten Comics to Watch. The honorees will be celebrated
57
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.719
in Montreal a cocktail reception on the twenty fourth. I'm
58
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.199
counting on my fingers, that's Thursday, and they would do
59
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.520
a showcase on Friday. The comics to watch include Mary
60
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.319
Beth Baron. Bridy writes, for as long as Beron could remember,
61
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.639
comedy's always been a part of her life. Quote, being
62
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.080
funny was very highly valued in my family. My dad
63
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.080
had great taste in comedy. Because my dad was older,
64
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.199
he had vinyls of comedy albums. And he also introduced
65
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.479
us to Monty Python and Spaceballs and Airplane and all
66
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.560
those movies that I used to stay up late at
67
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.159
night and watch I Love Lucy on Nick at Night.
68
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.560
I was obsessed with I Love Lucy. She started with
69
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.639
a women's open mic night at the UCB and said
70
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.800
the jokes were so vulgar because when you first start,
71
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.439
I think the instinct is just to be as blue
72
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.560
as possible. Went really well. I was totally hooked. I
73
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.560
really blew up my entire life to pursue as a job.
74
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.039
Next up to watch Dion Mojo Brooks. I'm not familiar,
75
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.360
Brooks says. My first time in front of the full audience,
76
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.439
it was an audience of four people. Two other people
77
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.159
were my mom and dad. The other two people were
78
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.680
my aunt and uncle. This past year he was on
79
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.439
the We Them Ones comedy Tour hosted by Mike Epps.
80
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.960
Midway through my set, they started giving me a standing up.
81
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.919
It was in that moment, in front of ten thousand
82
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.120
people standing up, clapping and screaming, and it hit me,
83
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.479
I'm doing this. Joe Dombrowski, he started in third grade.
84
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.280
He said, I stole all my jokes from a magician
85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.280
that my parents hired from my first communion. The jokes
86
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.479
were cheesy, but it killed and I was hooked. He
87
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.800
now runs an LA show at the Comedy Store called
88
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.480
My Straight Friends and says, I'm talking about my marriage,
89
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.839
building a family. Some my onits is now half teachers,
90
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.519
half the gaze. I'm living my dream talking about my life.
91
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.560
Next up, Robbie Hoffman. You know Robbie from Hacks. Hoffman says, yeah,
92
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.639
lots of people recognizing me now, and for good reason.
93
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.759
I'm a silver screen sensation. What can I say? Influences
94
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.720
include Howard Stern, Judge, Judy Simon, Campbell, her mother, brothers
95
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.360
and sisters, Nate Jackson. I've seen a lot of buzz on.
96
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.600
Nate Brody says a master of crowd work, points out
97
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.839
while every comic now does it for social media clips.
98
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.800
He was doing it before that existed. I was panning
99
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.600
for gold. I'm putting a bunch of gunk in a
100
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.160
thing and shaking it around and weaving in what I'm thinking.
101
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.079
When you do it right, it brings everybody in. It
102
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.240
makes the room smaller. He says. Many comedians use CrowdWork
103
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.319
as filler. His crowd work has done methodically. I'm information seeking,
104
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.279
and then from that, I'm developing a punchline, act outs
105
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.120
and even callbacks to other stories from the night, or
106
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.920
I'll pair it with a story or joke I already have.
107
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.759
So it feels like a moment that aligns, like an epiphany.
108
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.920
Morgan Jay on the list. Morgan started in comedy in
109
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.279
two thousand and seven. He had studied piano and guitar
110
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.519
and had choir experience ahead of studying theater and the
111
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.000
classics at NYU. Before throwing himself in a comedy, Morgan said,
112
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.120
I knew it was this or nothing Eradicating the safety
113
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.839
net is really helpful to push you into those next
114
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.720
steps of your evolution as a performer. Also on the list,
115
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.399
friend of the show John marco Ciresi. He's been performing
116
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.959
overseas and says, not everyone understands all the jokes and
117
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.759
the laughter is more muted. That can mess up the
118
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.040
timing along the way. It's a good experience As an artist.
119
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.279
I've learned to shift the musicality, like if you sing
120
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.639
a song at a different temple for a remix, makes
121
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.959
you more flexible, more nimble to live off the audience.
122
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.720
This fall, he'll be in Rochester, West Des Moines and Richmond, Virginia.
123
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.759
As my comedy's going well, but going from Paris to Richmond,
124
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.439
two equally cool cultural centers of the world as me
125
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.560
wondering what of life I want to live and helps
126
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.120
me create good art. Jay Ying Summers is on the list.
127
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.560
Summers said, I struggled with trying to be likable, but
128
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.680
I realized I'm not likable. I just have to be
129
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.319
honest and specific about what affects me, and that made
130
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.759
me find my voice. Not to try to please everyone.
131
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.319
Whenever someone books me in a club, I exhaust every
132
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.519
resource to make sure it's a sold out show for
133
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.680
a good performance. I just want to make whoever books
134
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.079
me money. I have so many tips I could give
135
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.439
to comedians who want to see how to get their
136
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.240
numbers up. On social media, promote a show, and have
137
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.639
good relationship at a club, because those are business skills
138
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.439
as artists. Influences Joan Rivers, Don Rickles, Richard Pryor, Ricky Gervais,
139
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.879
Steph tolev on the list, I feel like Steph has
140
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.120
now broken through thanks to that recent Netflix special. The
141
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.199
Variety Piece rehashes you know a lot of the recent
142
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.920
articles the Bill Burr at All and to Kara Williams
143
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.959
is a parent with kids ranging from age eleven to
144
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.079
twenty four, and incorporates them into her material. One night,
145
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.040
Choose booked to do three minutes at a comedy club
146
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:56.759
in Harlem. The host stepped away and left her on
147
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.480
stage for over twice as long. Williams said, I just
148
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.800
talked about it. Women break up differently than men break up,
149
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.680
and the dynamic of breaking up. And people came up
150
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.639
to me after and said, oh my god, girl, me too.
151
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.560
I'm going through the same thing. And I realized it
152
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.839
was healing and I've been doing it for over fifteen years.
153
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.639
All right, we are getting along again. Let's see what
154
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.160
else I could tell you about. Shane Gillish. Remember he
155
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.519
hosted the SBS nine news cycles ago. The Ladies of
156
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.279
the View didn't like it. Whoopy Goldberg, who, to be fair,
157
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.360
has hosted the Oscars four times so kind of knows
158
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.160
what she's talking about. But said, you know, hosting an
159
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.720
award show is a tough gig. So I'll ask you
160
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.360
you think you read that room correctly. Joy Behar, a comedian,
161
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.120
said no, no, no, no. Basically, when you do an
162
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.319
award show, they're there to hear their name called. They're
163
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.519
not there to laugh. Number One. Beehart said, stand up
164
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.120
comedy is one of the hardest things people can do.
165
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.079
I did it for thirty years. It's so hard. It's
166
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.120
like a high wire act. I always say, it's like
167
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.279
I'm on stage naked and everybody else has clothes. That's
168
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.519
how it feels. Bayhart didn't like when Shane did that.
169
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.519
I didn't write that joke. Maneuver said, never do that.
170
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.120
Johnny Carson was on the air for I don't know
171
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:56.959
one hundred years. Never once did he say the writer
172
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.879
wrote that bad joke that I just bombed with. That's
173
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.360
bad form. That's a mistake. You have to know how
174
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:02.879
to work the room. I don't know if he knows
175
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.439
how to do that. Woop Goldberg wrapped it up with,
176
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.240
I guess you have to know how to do the material.
177
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.560
You can make a work without being offensive and terrible.
178
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.600
But what do I know. I'm used to be yeike
179
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.439
cause I just cut six stories. There's just so much
180
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.800
going on. Gossip Corner. Rosie O'Donnell went up in Ireland
181
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.040
and took shots at the president. Rosie was at the
182
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.720
International Comedy Club in Dublin. She addressed Trump's recent post
183
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.320
in which Trump suggested he might revoke Rosie's citizenship. Rosie said,
184
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.559
a really smart guy who works for the Democratic National
185
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.159
Campaign texted me and said, are you okay? And I'm like, well,
186
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.080
I'm kind of upset that Ireland is losing, but no,
187
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.600
she said. The person she was talking to then sent
188
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.600
her Trump's post. Rosie said, so, all I saw is
189
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.679
a post that said something absurd like Rosie o Donald's
190
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:48.960
a threat to humanity. Bye, I'm going to take away
191
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.440
her American citizenship, which I know no one's allowed to
192
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.679
do in America. If you're born in America and your
193
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.200
parents are American citizens, which I was, you have to
194
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.200
renounce your citizenship in order to get rid of it.
195
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.000
You can't have it. Taken away from you by the government,
196
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.240
but the Supreme Court has given him carte blanche to
197
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:03.759
do whatever he wants. I read it and I kind
198
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.840
of laughed, and I said, that's funny, but it's not real.
199
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.200
Rosie then drafted her response to Trump and it went viral.
200
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.440
My response and people went crazy. And as my brother
201
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.039
Eddie I said, when he pulled me up, he said
202
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.679
that bastard. Does he know he's going to make you
203
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.519
more famous than you ever were? And when he finds out,
204
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.840
he's going to be upset. But you know, this is
205
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.240
kind of the worst guy that I've ever met in
206
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.919
my life. I'm sixty three years old. He's like one
207
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.720
hundred and seven or one hundred and twenty years old.
208
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.240
I knew about him my whole life, So I just
209
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:27.519
told the truth of what I knew. And he went
210
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.039
crazy and threatened to sue me. And it's been twenty
211
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.399
years that he's been calling me fat, disgusting, gay, pervert,
212
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.639
everything that he is. That's what happened. Abigail Jackson, spokeswoman
213
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.600
for the White House, told Fox News Digital it's sad
214
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.639
to watch TDS, ridd and Rosie crash out like this,
215
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.480
but at least she's not in America while she's having
216
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.399
her big meltdown. God bless the Irish. Also on Gossip Corner,
217
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.639
Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that Trump inspired her permanent move
218
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:57.200
to the UK. The BBC reports English broadcaster Richard Bacon
219
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.799
asked Ellen whether reports that Trump played a role in
220
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:04.320
the correct Ellen said yes. Ellen apparently said they got
221
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.639
to the UK the day before the election and woke
222
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.360
up to a lot of texts from our friends with
223
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.840
crying emojis, and I was like, he got in and
224
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.799
We're like, we're staying here. It's absolutely beautiful. The villages
225
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.039
and the towns and the architecture. Everything you see is charming,
226
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.679
and it's just a simpler way of life. Everything here
227
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.600
is just better. The way the animals are treated, people
228
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.440
are polite. I just love it here Out today on
229
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.679
