Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.359
daily comedy news. It is very busy for Tuesday. The
3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.079
networks did their upfront, so that gave us a lot
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.440
of TV news. But let's start with Tom Sigora's Bad Thoughts,
5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.399
six episodes out on Netflix today. Tom till the La Times.
6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.640
I thought it would be fun to stream one episode
7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.879
of something scripted and produced on YMH Studios, just to
8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:31.480
see if there was an appetite for that. That was
9
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.600
the idea. We shot that one episode in April of
10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.799
twenty one, and it was so expensive to do and
11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.159
post took a really long time, so it was almost
12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.200
twenty twenty two when we were like, here it is.
13
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.159
Our agents looked at it and they were like, you
14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.759
have to shop this. We know you can do something
15
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.679
with this. I was in the middle of my tour
16
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.240
at that point, so it wasn't until twenty twenty four
17
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.079
when I was like, Okay, we have to get on this.
18
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.600
Bird has a relationship with Netflix, he has five specials
19
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.079
on there, but said I was gonna take it to HBO, Amazon,
20
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.880
all the places. I was like, I have a relationship
21
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.399
with Netflix, I'll just show it to them first to
22
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.359
see if they're interested. Netflix did not hesitate and green
23
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.480
lit it. Segora says, it's six episodes, but we got
24
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.959
to use two of the stories that were in the
25
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.760
original presentation. Two of the three are in the actual series,
26
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.040
and you can tell because I weigh forty pounds more.
27
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.159
In the Kirk Fox is part of the series and says,
28
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.079
we all have bad thoughts, but Tom has found a
29
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.000
way to make them as funny as they are scary,
30
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.359
and he directs the way he exists seamless economy of words.
31
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:25.640
He knows what I'd like to see a scene and
32
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.959
makes it clear to all Rob Eiler is in this here,
33
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.760
like who's Rob Eiler? Aj soprano, Yeah, he said. Tom
34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.200
and Christina have always been extremely supportive. So when Tom
35
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:36.599
asked if I do him a favor and it was
36
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.599
outside of the Hollywood world, it made me feel like
37
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.599
it would just be friends making a fun show. That
38
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.200
drew me in. Seeing Tom have the cojones to spend
39
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.400
as much money and believe in himself and then trusting
40
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.840
me with part of that. It seemed like a bad
41
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.760
choice on his end, but I was down for the ride,
42
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.959
Sigora said, everyone in the cast was so good. But
43
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.920
do you know Rob Eiler's last acting gig was this
44
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.319
Pranos and then this, and it's completely by choice. The
45
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.560
guy gets called and offered role. Still, when people see
46
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.719
him this, they're gonna be like, oh, yeah, this guy's
47
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.359
an incredible actor. Minor minor spoiler coming up. Okay, at
48
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.800
one point you're going to see Sigora's but he says
49
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.759
it's his. It's not great. I know it's not, but
50
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.439
I just had to deal with it. It's funny because
51
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.639
when my butcht was first exposed, I was very self
52
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.080
conscious and covering up. After thirty minutes, I was like, yeah,
53
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.919
just look at it. I don't care anymore. When you
54
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.039
see the later episodes, it's the other side. You get
55
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.560
full frontal. Apparently we get a lot of variety in this.
56
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.479
Tom said, I feel like I went to film school
57
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.360
and got to make fifteen short films with all these
58
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.520
different genres and different characters, and I got to apply
59
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.680
what I love a fun twist. I did see a
60
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.039
review of it. I think somebody jumped the gun. There's
61
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.240
probably an embargo. Obviously, screeners are around, but as I
62
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.240
record on Monday, nobody else had reviewed this thing, and
63
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.759
one site did, so I'm guessing there was an embargo
64
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.879
that they jumped. But the reviewer there said he was
65
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.360
unfamiliar with Sigora's work, so I'm going to discount that
66
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.479
he didn't enjoy the series, and we'll all watch it
67
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.919
ourselves today. Bad Thought on Netflix. Tony Hinchcliff is on
68
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.840
Bill Maher's podcast this week. I didn't get to listen
69
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.240
to it yet, but I did skim the transcript. Mars said,
70
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.879
your reputation now, Tony is a right winger because you
71
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.719
did the Trump rally and told the Puerto Rico joke,
72
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.560
which is a great joke. Tony says, you'd love to
73
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.520
know the story because you would really understand it from
74
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.800
a comedians perspective, like I'm gonna go there to do
75
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.719
this thing and show off free speeches, this and that
76
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.080
and make those kind of jokes. But I had a
77
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.000
whole thing written and planned to go in the teleprompter,
78
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.120
and that Puerto Rico joke was actually a joke. I
79
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.800
had done a bunch in my stand up, and it's
80
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.560
part of a bigger joke with more front end and
81
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.039
a longer back end. Bill Maher was like, like, what,
82
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.000
I'm curious, Tony, Well, it was, you know, basically the
83
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.520
end of the normal joke. I go, you know, I'm
84
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:39.960
talking about the problems of the world. And I go,
85
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.319
I don't know if you guys know this, but there's
86
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.759
a floating island of garbage in the middle of the
87
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.560
ocean right now. Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico.
88
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.800
And the point of the joke is that people picture,
89
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.199
obviously in my mind, obviously the great Pacific garbage patch
90
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.039
skipping a hit, Tony said. And I knew this going
91
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.719
into it, and I knew it the last second when
92
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.199
I was doing it into two thirty in the afternoon,
93
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.319
which is another terrible problem. This is one thing I
94
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.240
was upset about. Who was supposed to go to the evening.
95
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.599
When I got there, I go, when am I going
96
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.240
up in this thing? And they say you're up first?
97
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.960
I went up after the national anthem. Mar was curious,
98
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.039
why did you do it? Because you're a support of Trumper?
99
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.919
Is an opportunity and a paycheck? Was it a paycheck, Tony, No,
100
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.240
it wasn't a paycheck. I did it literally to help
101
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.319
get someone, hopefully, if not only ten thousand, maybe not
102
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.759
to mention one hundred thousand, maybe two hundred if we're lucky,
103
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.399
actual people to vote for him. Mar Oh, so you
104
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.839
did want people to vote for Trump? Tony yep, without
105
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.800
a doubt. On TV Today. The Joan Rivers tribute on
106
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.279
NBC taped last November during the New York Comedy Festival
107
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.560
at the Apollo Theater. A funny quote attributed to Joan Rivers.
108
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.959
Given that I'm dead, I assume someone will finally decide
109
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.000
to honor me. Well, it's about time. This thing features
110
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.680
Chelsea Handler, Nikki Glazer, Tiffany Hattish, Aubrey Plaza, Rita Wilson,
111
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.680
Joel McHale's in this thing. I saw somewhere. An interesting
112
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.480
observation from daughter Melissa Rivers. She was asked by The
113
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.639
Daily Mail, who reminds Melissa the most of Joan Rivers said,
114
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:07.279
Nicki Glazer is the closest stylistically in her delivery. Obviously
115
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.920
Melissa knows her mom better than I did. I've mentioned
116
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.399
several times I did work with Joan. I've been in
117
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:18.040
Joan's apartment. I'm not sure I see any Joan Rivers
118
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.839
in Nicki Glazer, but you know I wouldn't arm wrestle
119
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.879
anyone over it? Curious what you guys think? You could
120
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.879
share your thoughts in the Facebook group, which is Daily
121
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.480
Common News podcast group. A lot of TV news. NBC
122
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.800
had their upfronts. They revealed they will do a one
123
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:37.000
hundredth birthday for NBC. Apparently SNL fifty went well. They
124
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.920
trotted out Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Polar said, We're
125
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.319
gonna celebrate this birthday hard with a once in a
126
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.519
lifetime television event, NBC one hundred. It will be a
127
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.480
star studded variety special commemorating one hundred years of culture
128
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.839
defining content from iconic moments to unforgettable stars. Do you
129
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.879
think David Letterman will go? That's the first thing I
130
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.120
think of, Tina Fey says. Hosted by a mix of
131
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.199
legendary NBC alumni in Today's Biggest Stars, Jimmy Fallon, the
132
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.720
night will be filled with memorable musical performances, comedy tributes,
133
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.120
behind the scenes stories, and surprise reunions. That's me editorializing
134
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.480
about Jimmy Fallon. They didn't actually anounce Jimmy Fallon. You'll
135
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.920
be hearing more soon, but I can guarantee this because
136
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.399
it's twice the age of SNL. It's going to be
137
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.199
twice as long as the SNL anniversary special. That's right, folks,
138
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.839
six hours of a fun decade by decade look back,
139
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.839
Mamy polar Aded. Get your protein bores and your water
140
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.800
bottles ready for that marathon. We don't know when it
141
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.439
will air, but NBC marks it's one hundredth anniversary in
142
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.160
November of twenty twenty six. Fourth quarter is a good
143
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.199
time to sell ads, so you could pretty much write
144
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.439
down November. They also shared some more details about the
145
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.000
office spin off or retake or whatever we're calling this thing.
146
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.439
The paper Oscar Nunia has told a story in which
147
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.240
he told Greg Daniels that post office he imagined Oscar
148
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.800
had moved to a more cosmopolitan environment. Nunia said, Greg
149
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.399
heard me and moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio, which has three
150
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.160
times the population of Scranton. So it's nice to be heard.
151
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.959
Am I the first one or the last one who
152
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.279
put together that? At the office takes place at a
153
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.000
paper company, and the word is paper, and the paper
154
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.800
takes place at a newspaper which is paper. Did everybody
155
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.839
put that together two years ago? Because I only put
156
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.959
that together today or are you all going like, oh wow,
157
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.600
I don't know. Daniels tell the Hollywood Reporter that the
158
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.839
paper will employ much of the same crew that worked
159
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.639
on the office. It's all about this struggling mid It's
160
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.639
about this struggling Midwestern newspaper that's much reduced from its glory.
161
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.639
Toda's A lot of the storylines are about how this guy,
162
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.839
Domal Gleeson's character is trying to restore the paper and
163
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.959
he just doesn't have the budget for hiring reporters, and
164
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:34.360
he has to use all the staff that work there
165
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.399
on a volunteer basis, two B reporters. They're completely untrained
166
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.639
and don't know what they're doing. The villain here is
167
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.120
the Internet, the ability to look at everybody's news for free,
168
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.480
and all the ad revenue going to Google. Tracy Morgan
169
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:50.439
getting an NBC sitcom executive produced by Tina Fay. Tracy
170
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.319
will co star with Daniel Radcliffe in the Fall and
171
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.560
Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Tracy Morgan plays a disgraced former
172
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.959
football player who's on a mission to rehab his image.
173
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.720
Radcoffe plays Arthur Tobin, a filmmaker who moves into Reggie's
174
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.600
mansion to film a documentary about the faded star. Morgan
175
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.199
is also due to star in Crutch, a spinoff from
176
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.959
the Neighborhood, in which Tracy Morgan plays a Harlem widower
177
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.920
whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his
178
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.079
millennial son and free spirited daughter moved back home. On Friday,
179
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.519
NBC canceled a bunch of things, including Lopez Versus Lopez
180
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.439
and night Court, both those not coming back. Fox announced
181
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.199
Fear Factor. The next chapter. The synopsis dropped into a
182
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.679
remote location, A group of strangers will live together under
183
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.799
one roof and face stunts challenges in a game of
184
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.120
social strategy. The original ran on NBC from two thousand
185
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.360
and one to two thousand and six. It came back
186
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.200
for a little bit in twenty eleven. In twenty seventeen,
187
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.519
MTV also tried to relaunch it, with Ludacrous hosting. That
188
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.320
version ran for thirty three episodes. How the point here
189
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.360
is they're not sure if Joe Rogan is coming back.
190
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.759
Most people assume no. Also out now Greg Guttfeld's What
191
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.600
Did I Miss? On that show, they placed five people
192
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.320
in complete isolation and Upstate New York with no contact
193
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.679
to the outside world, no phones, Internet, TV, social media.
194
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.039
They were locked in a room or a house or
195
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.320
whatever it is for ninety days January twentieth through April thirteenth.
196
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.480
One of the five dropped out early. The four remaining
197
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.360
contestants were brought to Guttfeld's Fox News studio to play
198
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.799
a game of true or false about the events of
199
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.480
Trump's first three months back in the White House. The
200
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:30.159
winner gets twenty five thousand dollars. They were locked away
201
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.559
for ninety days for twenty five thousand dollars. I don't
202
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.679
want to be like mister big shot, mister big wallet,
203
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:40.159
but that's not that much money. And Greg Gutfeld seems
204
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.279
to agree. He said, this is the cheapest game show
205
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:43.960
in modern history. These people are in a house for
206
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.440
ninety days for twenty five grand. They could have made
207
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.080
that on OnlyFans. A spokesperson for Fox News Media told
208
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.159
The Hollywood Reporter the contestants were compensated daily for their time.
209
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.240
Guttfeld said, I got them an extra five k. It'll
210
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.000
pay for the uber back home now. The Hollywood Reporter
211
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.440
did some math for okay. They point out ninety days
212
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.759
is less than thirteen weeks if you put in forty
213
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.200
hours per week at the New York state minimum wage
214
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.120
of fifteen to fifteen an hour in in New York
215
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.039
City at sixteen to fifteen hour, any full time worker
216
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.159
would walk away from the same three month period with
217
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.879
eight thousand dollars. And that doesn't even factor in the
218
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.159
other one hundred and twenty eight hours that you're not
219
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.399
working a forty hour week. One of the contestants, in
220
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.679
an exit interview says, I feel terrible. I feel I
221
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.440
had to spend ninety days of my life for no
222
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.039
reason at all. So much going on today, Let's just
223
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.440
do a bunch of gossip corner from Late Night or
224
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:39.480
James Austin Johnson got injured during Saturday Night Live, Apparently
225
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.600
during the sketch the second Amendments, where Johnson was standing
226
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.919
behind a table the entire time playing James Madison, he
227
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.559
slipped in the heels he had been wearing for the sketch,
228
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.159
injuring his foot. During the Good Nights he was on crutches.
229
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.799
Does SNL just have crutches backstage? Where did the crutches
230
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.480
come from? The Saturday Night Network said Johnson was set
231
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.559
to appear a second sketch called bullying assembly, but it
232
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.759
was cut for time. It's unclear if it was cut
233
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.679
for time or cut for crutches. Late Nighter points out
234
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.559
Johnson's injury is the first known instance of a mid
235
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.279
show injury since season forty one, when Leslie Jones tore
236
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.879
her acl in a sketch. Morgan Wallen was on a
237
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.279
podcast and was asked, Hey, did SNL make you mad?
238
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.320
Remember he kind of stormed off a little bit. Morgan
239
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.240
is telling it none. I was just ready to go home.
240
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.759
I'd been there all week, because you know, you can't
241
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.320
wait an extra ninety seconds and wave at the camera
242
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.080
and then leave. Avanka Trump was at the Theo vonn concert.
243
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.919
The Irish Times tells us the President's daughter let her
