00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.439
Callaroga Shark Media either. I'm Jenny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.800
comedy news. During the pandemic, I was really doing a

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.199
lot of stuff related to the late night monologues, and

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.280
I've gotten away from that over the last couple of years.

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.280
But last Friday I did it and I kind of

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.000
liked how it felt. So maybe on Fridays we'll just

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.000
take a look at what some of the jokes from

8
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.760
during the week were. Fallon had most of the good ones,

9
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.320
and that's a combination of Fallon having good jokes and

10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.719
some other shows being off. But Fallon said, it's crazy

11
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.640
to me at the president launch an attack on Iran,

12
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.079
his own parade and a cell phone in the same week.

13
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.920
Found again. Thankfully, as of now, this ceasfire has held.

14
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.960
It's about as stable as an Ikea cabinet with a

15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.880
screws missing, but so far, so good. The strike on

16
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.920
Iran was called Operation Midnight Hammer. It was named after

17
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.399
Trump's favorite Stormy Daniels movie. Seth Meyers said JD. Vance

18
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.159
defended Trump's decision to launch air strikes against Ironnie and

19
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.840
nuclear sites and that we do not want war with Iran.

20
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.480
We actually want peace, and I don't know, man, I

21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.920
think what you might actually want is a dictionary. And

22
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.680
then Colbert got on Trump saying make Iran a great again.

23
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.480
Your whole damn thing is America first. You can't just

24
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.120
hand other countries your slogan. That's like if McDonald's had

25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.359
an ad campaign that said, I'm loving it it being

26
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.439
burger king good stuff there. Yesterday was a little busy,

27
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.239
so I bounced this. Plus there's a strategy to how

28
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.719
I put the show together, and I like to have

29
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.159
a headliner in the title of the episode to get

30
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.680
a couple drive by downloads, so I siphoned off. Tom

31
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.799
Sagora Headlines is working on his first feature film. It's

32
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.400
called LT Gray, an R rated comedy. This announcement is

33
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.560
just a week after Netflix ordered season two of Bad Thoughts.

34
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.599
Lt Gray follows Jeff played by Tom Sagora, and his

35
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.920
friends as they head down to Mexico, only to discover

36
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.280
the hard way that Jeff is a dead ringer for

37
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.799
the infamous cartel leader LT Gray, who's gone missing after

38
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.879
being captured by rivals and then rescued by Alti Gra's forces.

39
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.200
Jeff has to pretend to be their ruthless leader till

40
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.040
he can find his friends and a way home. So

41
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.000
it's Dave but cartel. I'll watch, Skory said. From the

42
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.439
moment I read this script, I knew I had to

43
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.479
play the part. As a fellow business owner, I've always

44
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.639
found it inspiring how productive and efficient cartel leaders can be.

45
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.120
The whole team is so excited to make a rig comedy,

46
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.159
and I'm so thrilled to be part of it. Already

47
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.159
sounds hilarious. I mentioned yesterday about the industry just deciding, Hey,

48
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.000
we are pushing Nate Bergatzy. Okay, everybody get on board.

49
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.039
Nate's the greatest thing since slice bread. You all understand that. Well,

50
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.680
Deadline had the headline Nate Pergatsy's next act, ushering in

51
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.080
a new era of family friendly comedy through Nateland Entertainment. Now,

52
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.840
when I saw that, I was like, we did this

53
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.360
article already, Right, we did this like two three weeks ago.

54
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.400
Is this the same article? Then? Why is this being recycled? No,

55
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.680
it's not the same article. It's a different arraticle with

56
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.000
the same narrative they've been pushing for a few weeks. Now.

57
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.879
Congratulations team Nate Pergatzi. You guys are getting it done.

58
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.479
America is getting the message. We understand Nate's great, we

59
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.199
get it. We get it. In this version of the narrative,

60
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.439
we hear from Robbie Pra, who runs Netflix Comedy. We're

61
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.840
told even back in two thousand and six, when Robbie

62
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.240
was programming the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, he

63
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.960
saw the makings of a star, the right combination of work,

64
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.960
ethic and undeniable talent. But what he also possessed, says Pra,

65
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.560
which made him a complete anomaly in comedy is his

66
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.520
ability to stand in front of any kind of crowd,

67
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.479
in any venue of any size and kill. Really, no

68
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.120
one else can do that. You're telling me Chris Rock

69
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.439
can't kill in any venue, any size. You tell me

70
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.280
Chris Rock can't do that, pro said. What makes Nate

71
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.879
resonate so widely is it's easy to see yourself in him.

72
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.400
Pra says. My wife stares at me during his sets,

73
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.039
feeling like he's a heat seeking missile talking about our

74
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.080
life in marriage, and millions of people around the world

75
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.919
feel the same way. I like Nate, but this narratives

76
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.159
out of control now. Jason Hayman, a partner and film

77
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.240
packaging agent, at Uta, who has worked with Nate for

78
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.280
around five years. You're getting it done. Jason cap Tip

79
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.199
to you says, Nate knows his brand an audience inside

80
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.360
and out and doesn't stray from it. When it comes

81
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.560
to Nate, shouldn't expect the heavy political or profane, but

82
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.599
rather a single minded focus on putting smiles on people's faces.

83
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.960
Jeff Foxworthy much and working with this team, Hayman explains Burgets.

84
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.960
He gives very strict guidelines as to what's a fit

85
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.080
for Nate Land and what isn't, defining him protecting his

86
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.159
brand with a singularity of vision. Dusty Sligh says, personally,

87
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.879
I think there was a time when everything was kind

88
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.839
of clean, and then Edgy became more prominent. I think

89
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.360
you're allowed to say anything you want on so many

90
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.600
platforms than when somebody actually dials it in, pulls back

91
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.920
a little bit, but is also able to be very funny.

92
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.959
That's a unique thing, by the way, Jim Gaffigan, anybody

93
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.560
I haven't even played the Seinfeld card. I mean, come on,

94
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.199
Nate's good, Nate's at the top, but tap the brakes

95
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.639
with this because what happens is you fly like too

96
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.000
close to the sun and people get sick of it

97
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.639
and they turn on you. Just lay low, dude, Just

98
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.439
lay low. We'll get another round of this when the

99
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.519
Emmys come out in September. Nate is hosting it. Speaking

100
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.680
of Dusty Sleigh, who I really dig, he has a

101
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.839
deal with Netflix to debut his second special, this one

102
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.120
called Wet Heat. It'll be out on Netflix July twenty ninth.

103
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.399
Filmed in Chattanooga, Dusty Slagh shares personal stories on everything

104
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.079
from milking to elevator etiquette. Sleigh says this special is

105
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.360
as hottest July in Alabama. I do think it's my

106
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.399
best work yet, and I'm very excited for the people

107
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.240
to see it. We're having a good time, which is

108
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.439
his catchphrase, and you know he's his best work yet.

109
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.800
As if somebody's gonna say, you know, I'm putting out

110
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.800
this special, it's probably my third best special. You know

111
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.000
that other one was really good, but this one's okay.

112
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.959
You should watch it. Come on, you could tell Johnny

113
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.399
Max not in the mood for any hogwash today, no

114
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.600
nonsense today, all right. Steph Tolov talked to the La Times.

115
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.720
She is a good example of one of those quote

116
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.600
unquote overnight successes that's been around for two plus decades.

117
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.920
She says, I've been doing this for twenty three years.

118
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.199
It's been a long journey. It's nice to have these

119
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.199
landmarks or events that I can look back on and

120
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.959
be like, oh my god, I'm very proud. It's been

121
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.560
slow and steady. Some people have bypassed and gotten big

122
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.240
online and whatever. But I look back and I'm so

123
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.319
happy that this is how my career developed, because I'm

124
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.800
ready now. If I got this when I was like twenty,

125
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.600
i'd be bad. I'm sure if you saw me on

126
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.439
the thing Bill Bursaw, you'd be like, who's this? Because

127
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.800
you know the hell I was. And then you went

128
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.759
back and you could see, oh, this has three thousand

129
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.759
videos and they have all these albums. It's not like

130
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.360
I came out of nowhere and have nothing to back

131
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.839
up what I do. So her current I want to

132
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.040
say origin story, but that's not fair to somebody twenty

133
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.000
three years in. Her current fame story is Bill Burr

134
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.160
saw a clip of her and reached out. Steph says,

135
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.360
at first it didn't feel real when Burr DMed me,

136
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.240
I thought it was a joke. Account I was like, Okay,

137
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.279
some fake Bill burr count is saying I'm hilarious. Then

138
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.079
after beating him, It's funny when you meet your idols

139
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.040
and they're so down to earth and chill, You're like, okay,

140
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.639
it's just a normal guy who finds me funny. So

141
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.279
I think when you meet someone and realize how chill

142
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.560
they are, that makes it way cooler. Not nerve wracking,

143
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.120
but it was very refreshing that if someone that you

144
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.319
look up to that is that funny, so well respected,

145
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.439
and also find you funny. Because you guys don't see.

146
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.079
They hate a lot of sea online, especially female comedians.

147
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.879
All we get is trolled. This morning, I deleted like

148
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.839
ten comments saying I'm ugly and of a big nose.

149
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.959
I'm like, yeah, I know. People tell me like I

150
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.000
don't know. I'm like, oh, it's not small. The wnbas

151
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.120
Indiana Fever are having fever Fest. Fever Fest will pack

152
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.399
four musical acts and four comedians into a three hour show.

153
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.759
I'll focus on the comedians. They are Cedric the Entertainer,

154
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.720
Leslie Jones, former last Comic Standing competitor, Aita Rodriguez Like,

155
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.560
what's frying my brain is? When did that show air

156
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.079
and I'm looking it up. Last Comic Standing aired from

157
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.000
twenty three to twenty ten and again in twenty fourteen

158
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.120
and fifteen. So at best, that's like a ten year

159
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.879
old reference. Okay, whatever she's playing and Dion Cole will

160
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.759
serve as host of Feverfest. Feverfest is produced in conjunction

161
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.399
with Heartbeat, which is Kevin Hart's company. Heartbeat was named

162
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.399

Fever By the way, Oh, Tyrese Haliburton, Man, I know,

165
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.319
I'm like five days later on this. Oh, I felt

166
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.600
so bad for him again. You heard the commercials. I

167
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.120
was all I was, you know, a Knicks frontrunner. I

168
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.399
was on the Knicks bandwagon, you know, rooted against Aliberton

169
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.160
for a week, but he earned my respect and then

170
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.399
I just felt so bad for that guy. I hope

171
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.399
you feel better soon. Anyway, if you're not going to

172
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.360
fever Fest and you're like that's not for me, and

173
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.040
you're looking for the opposite of fever Fest, I think

174
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:12.879
this is as opposite as I can get for you.

commercials co created by Colin Jost, Colin Jost hesitates to

192
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.279
eat the beer's signature orange garnish until he's gilted into

193
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.240
it by a young Orange and a young Orange's proud father.

194
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.279
The father says it's an honor to be chosen for

195
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.799
a blue moon. In the second commercial, co created by

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.120
he appeared at three local bars to serve blue moons.

200
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.799
He posted on Instagram, it's extremely hot, so I'm buying

201
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.279
anyone who's on Staten Island around of blue Moon tonight

202
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.120
come by for one free blue moon. I'm not that rich.

203
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.519
Let's hit gossip corner. Cheech Marin visited the J bar

204
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.559
M Barbecue. No good news for Cheach and his group.

205
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.840
This happened on Monday. No normally the jbar M is

206
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.480
closed on Monday, but the owner, John Toomey, was there

207
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.080
to greet Cheach and the rest of his group. We

208
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.720
are told jbar M serve Cheach and friends the sumptuous

209
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.360
Cowpuncher barbecue board that's loaded with more than ten pounds

210
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.240
of ribbies, pulled pork, turkey, brisket, pork ribs, chicken sausage

211
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:29.039
and Hlapino sausage, as well as French fries and side dishes. Wow,

212
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.480
it's meant to serve ten to fifteen people and runs

213
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.960
four hundred and twenty five bucks. But there are smaller versions.

214
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.399
You can get the Ranch Hand, which serves six to

215
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.879
eight and is only two twenty five or the Little

216
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.879
Pony that'll serve two to four people for one hundred

217
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.480
and twenty five dollars. And I am hungry now, but

218
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.000
I'm not gonna pick out. I got myself an extra

219
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.279
salad wrap the other day that's been in the fridge,

220
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.200
and like, I gotta eat it today or throw it out.

221
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.279
So no barbecue for me today. Staying on gossip corner,

222
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.200
you're there at the Jelly Roll concert. You're having a

223
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.360
good time. You're like, man, this concert's great. There's only

224
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.799
one thing that would make this concert better. I wish

225
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.480
Kevin James would show up. Well, you got your wish.

226
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.720
If you were at the Buckeye County Superfest in Ohio

227
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.639
enjoying Jilly Roll, out came Kevin James, who's sixty years

228
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.600
old now. Kevin helped perform the song need a Favor.

229
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.159
Kevin was dressed just like jelly Roll, Kevin danced around

230
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.600
the stage for the duration of the song, where black pants,

231
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.399
a black T shirt with a black vest over it,

232
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.360
and a backwards black baseball camp the way you could

233
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.120
tell them apart jelly Roll has tattoos and is funny.

234
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.799
I should just get out there, see you
