00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
Caalaroga, Shock Media may the I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.640
daily comedy news. Are you people really sitting home Memorial
3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.039
Day weekend and watching television? Netflix seems to think so.
4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.600
Tonight is the premiere of season two of Tom Sigora's
5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.000
Bad Thoughts six episodes I loved season one. Bad Thoughts
6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.800
follows Tom Sagora as he navigates unthinkable situations and fantasies
7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.200
within a cinematic world. I laughed out loud at season one.
8
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.719
Netflix describes the series as a collection of hilariously disturbing
9
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.640
stories that push boundaries of decency in ways only Tom
10
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.719
Sagora could imagine. Tom Sagora said, it was such a
11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.880
thrill to get the opportunity to entertain and harrifi audiences
12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.000
with our very own bad Thoughts on Netflix. We're all
13
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.920
so excited to push things further. Bad Thoughts on Netflix tonight.
14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.240
Jerry Seinfeld has made the claim that without Seinfeld the show,
15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.759
there would be no Friends. Jerry said this during the
16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.280
New Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival. But there was
17
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.560
this roast of Kevin Hart and Stephen Colbreer week and
18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.920
sometimes stories get to sleep for a holiday Weekend. You
19
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.439
know what I'm saying, Jerry said. I think NBC was
20
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.519
watching my show and they said, hey, this is working
21
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.040
pretty well. Why don't we try the same thing with
22
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.079
good looking people. Apparently Jerry has had this chip on
23
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.319
his shoulder for years. In twenty twenty two, Lisa Kudro
24
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.560
told The Daily Beast she ran it to Jerry Seinfeld,
25
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.959
who told her you're welcome. Kudro said, thank you, what
26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.120
and he said, you're on after us in the summer.
27
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.200
You're welcome. In twenty twenty four, when promoting the movie Unfrosted,
28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.239
Jerry joked about when people steal your ideas and do
29
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.000
whatever they want with them. Seinfeld said, you mean like Friends.
30
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.560
I don't know about that, Jerry. I don't know about
31
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.560
any of that now, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Sure, Friends was
32
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.879
on after Seinfeld? When was Seinfeld on between nineteen ninety
33
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.640
one and nineteen ninety three? It was on nine thirty
34
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.400
on Thursdays? What was on at nine o'clock? Cheers? So Jerry,
35
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.719
next time we run into Ted Danson, say thanks Jay
36
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.799
times as a very good boy boyd look at John
37
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.359
take a shot at Jerry Seinfeld, But come on, man,
38
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.480
lead In's work. That's why we do them. Nobody was
39
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.959
watching Seinfeld at first, except crazy people like me who
40
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.840
knew Jerry Seinfeld as a recurring comedian on the Wonderful
41
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.680
Late Night with David Letterman show. There were two guys
42
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.719
that we couldn't get enough of, Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.
43
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.960
So when I heard Jerry Seinfeld was getting a sitcom,
44
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.240
I watched it from episode one, but nobody else did.
45
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.000
Show almost got canceled. So yeah, I went on after Cheers.
46
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.759
That's how you build a network. And then they moved
47
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.599
Seinfeld up to nine and they threw on a show
48
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.400
they believed in after I've never once watched Friends and
49
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.840
been like, oh, this is just Seinfeld with better looking people.
50
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.800
Not once. Sorry, I don't know why I'm riled up
51
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.479
about this. I don't even like Friends. I don't care.
52
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.479
The La Times has a very robust comedy section. They
53
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.439
wrote an article we watched everything we could at Netflix's joke.
54
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.479
This is what stood out. I thought this would be
55
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.560
very interesting to take a look at, they wrote. Considering
56
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.560
the amount of comedy that was dropped on La the
57
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.439
idea that anyone could see it all is laughable. Yet,
58
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.400
of course, like fools, once again, we tried try and
59
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.199
fly through this Shane Gillis show at the Hollywood Bowl,
60
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.960
Commanding a solid roster veteran comics including James McCann, Sam
61
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.599
Jay Ron White, Dan Soder and Jim Jefferies as a
62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.560
pretty good lineup, Gillis took on the role of a
63
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.400
grizzled and playfully perverse football coach, hosting the night and
64
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.520
telling funny stories about his days as a very average
65
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.000
high school football player on crappy all white teams before
66
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.719
he blew up. In comedy, they liked Mike Ward at Dynasty, typewriter,
67
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.960
record breaker and a master of storytelling in French. Mike
68
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.240
Ward did not disappoint with his all English crossover, covering
69
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.240
everything from his legendary Supreme Court of Canada case to
70
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.599
teenage lust, dating after marriage, attempting generosity and trunk love.
71
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.680
Ward mentioned jokes translating from friends to English and how
72
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.080
that hit. But he was definitely in his element. That's great.
73
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.240
They went to see Jerry Seinfeld featuring Leanne Morgan Leanne,
74
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.960
I hope you said thanks. The Eli Times wrote, blending
75
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.520
the big city humor with hilarious Southern comfort. Might sound
76
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.080
like an odd pairing, but somehow the combo of Jerry
77
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.039
Seinfeld and LeAnn Morgan just works. Yes, we love a
78
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.199
good rant about the terrors of technology from a comedy
79
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.159
legend like Seinfeld, but his crotchety comedy On a Whole
80
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.879
Night at the Greek Theater was complimented by Morgan's ability
81
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.240
to add warmth and sweetness to her smack talk about
82
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.240
being a small town cheer mom and the world of
83
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.240
competitive cheerleading, which he described as the Olympics meets honey booboo.
84
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.000
That's great. They liked. Nate Jackson at the Laugh Factory Hollywood.
85
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.759
The La Time says it's a skill for comedian to
86
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.160
be able to sit in the pocket of a crowd's
87
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.000
energy and keep a room full of people laughing and
88
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.920
on their toes at the same time. Try doing it
89
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.079
for six shows back to back. In Jackson's case, that
90
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.720
meant delivering some third degree burns in the front several
91
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.600
rows of the crowd known as the roast zone. Jackson
92
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.000
prefaces every show the same way. Rule number one. If
93
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.639
I look at you and you don't want no smoke,
94
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.160
look away. That is the rule in the standard I
95
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.959
do not get people unless they lock eyes and give
96
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.240
me consent. As a matter of fact, this is called
97
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.639
a roast zone. If anyone is accidentally down there, it's
98
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.439
time to get the f out, because rule number two
99
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.720
is if I look at you and you look at me,
100
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.439
and I start and you don't like what I decided
101
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.560
to talk about, looking away, will no longer save you.
102
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.279
Wanda Sykes at the Adobe Theater, Politics, family, inflation, racism, wait, gain,
103
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.639
and greed were among the multiple topics. Kill Tony at
104
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.920
the Inn, to a Doom on the Panel, Harlan Williams
105
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.800
and Gabriel Iglesias. The Legends bucket made it sway to
106
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.639
the Arena in La. The polls were Ron White, Jode
107
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.720
de Rosa, and Tony's number one favorite comic, Tony Hinchcliff
108
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.439
played by Adam Ray. Oh that sounds amazing. Oh, I
109
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.160
got to find a clip of that. Let me see
110
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.040
if I can find something quick. Maybe somebody grabbed that.
111
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.199
I didn't know that happened. Makes some noise for Brian
112
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:28.439
redband everybody, and makes some noise for the best goddamn
113
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:38.639
band in the land. Oh my god. On the leave
114
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:44.079
a bald who's ready for the best and out of
115
00:05:44.120 --> 00:06:01.519
their lives. Oh yeah, oh my god, we're really doing
116
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:07.639
it Red Band every Monday. We're doing it live. All right.
117
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.720
That was fun. The visual definitely helps, but boy, that's fuzzee.
118
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.600
I like hosting the show, and that's why I don't
119
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.680
read these things in advance so that I could react
120
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.839
like that Tony Hitchcliff played by Adam raygeow the crowd
121
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.879
exactly what effortless and absolute merciless veteran comedy looks like
122
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.199
Dave Chappelle. Now this is interesting. The La Times Rights
123
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.199
were not allowed to say anything about what went on
124
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.600
at the Dave Chappelle three show residency other than the
125
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.480
fact it was an evening of music and comedy per usual.
126
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.519
They locked up the crowd's phones to see a show,
127
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.560
But why aren't they allowed to say anything like couldn't
128
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.480
somebody as a civilian go to the show? It's been
129
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.839
very weird. I've seen nothing about that Chappelle three Chappelle shows. Nothing,
130
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.560
nothing has come out. Very strange. Hasan Minhajs versus Ronnie
131
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.600
Ching at the Dolby Theater. They challenged one another to
132
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.279
prove who's better suited to fix a broken America, Asians
133
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.759
or Indians, never mind that Indians or South Asians. The
134
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.360
two comedians got plenty of laughs backing up there absurd
135
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.680
arguments with flow charts, graphs, curated news clips, an ai
136
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.759
Bot called Nieri, and plenty of racist rhetoric that sounds
137
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.000
like a fun show. They broke the down the debate
138
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.800
in the categories Who's better at academics, business, in the economy, cuisine.
139
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.399
Ronnie Chang argued that Asians are better at sports. With
140
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.600
a list of Olympic gold medal wins over the past
141
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.399
three Summer Games. He won't use all of Asia, he said,
142
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.639
just China. The result the country had over one hundred
143
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.800
gold medals India had just won. Hasan Minhaj wondered aloud,
144
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.839
for people who love gold so much, why is it
145
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.199
so hard for us to win one? Sounds like a
146
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.360
good show. Otsgo at Coska. The La Times said her
147
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.079
show at the Orphium is the result of a brand
148
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.560
new hour she's been performing on tour and includes plenty
149
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.800
of jokes about dinosaurs and her love of Jamaican dancehall choreography.
150
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.319
I've seen the show. All that is very very funny.
151
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.639
If otsgoes around go see it. It's a great hour.
152
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.560
Before she got on stage, she got blindsided by the
153
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.759
appearance of two comedy titans, Margaret Show and Trevor Noah. Wow,
154
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.639
that's a nice bonus. Who came out to deliver punchy,
155
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.439
political driven opening sets that got loads of laughter and
156
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.240
set the tone, and she announced to her next special
157
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.519
will be on Netflix. In twenty twenty seven, Australian born
158
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.480
comedian James McCann at the Hollywood Improv Top the Bill's
159
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:13.000
Saturday Night high energy was the vibe m looking flawless,
160
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.399
poems and tow and dark humor, Dialed two and eleven.
161
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.519
He questioned LA's homeless crisis may have questioned the audience
162
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.199
a bit too much and tore through his thoughts on
163
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.399
a census overhaul, the insanity of the TV show Survivor,
164
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.319
the glory days of drinking, and having visions of finally
165
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.360
being successful enough to hire his dream team. The La
166
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.679
Times also hit the Two Bears five K They tell
167
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.240
us whether you kicked off the Magical day of athleticism
168
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.080
and a Downward Dog with Ari Shafir, if he went
169
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.480
straight for the starting line with Bert Kreischer, Thoms Agora
170
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.919
and jelly roll. They were stretching, pacing, sweating, and rejoicing
171
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.120
to be had a bunch of comics on hand. The
172
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.600
finish line led runners directly into the Rose Bowl, where
173
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.879
there were plenty of poor osos, flowing snacks, interactive games
174
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.519
and recovery stations, and a live taping of Two Bears,
175
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.919
One Cave. Sunday, May tenth, Marcelo Hernandez, they didn't really
176
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.480
say too much. You're gonna think I'm doing a bit here,
177
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.759
they wrote on Saturday Night Live, he plays a Latin
178
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.360
lover named Tomingo. But at the Hollywood Bowl on Mother's
179
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.879
Day Sunday, headliner Marcello Hernandez riffed on his real life
180
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.399
as a mama's boy growing up in Miami and duly
181
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.159
invited out his mom is Isabelle, who has met with
182
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.600
the standing ovation. Then they discussed the roast of Kevin Hard.
183
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.279
I think we've covered that enough, And then at the
184
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.519
Greek Theater, Flight of the Concords, looking a bit more
185
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.440
like silver foxes than young birds that made the timeless
186
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.399
chuckle inducing tunes like robots, The most beautiful girl in
187
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.720
the room hurt feelings in business time Land with even
188
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.720
more impact as the crowd enjoyed some long awaited nostalgia.
189
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.759
Did they forget a few of the lyrics, miss some solos,
190
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.799
mess up in sire songs. Sure, With a dose of
191
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.679
Kiwi banter and the ability to laugh at themselves, the
192
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.879
mistakes only made the show funnier and a reminder of
193
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.480
why they've missed them. You can find of that show
194
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.279
on YouTube. Don't tell anybody, and I want it to disappear.
195
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.720
I enjoyed it, all right. It's a holiday weekend. Let
196
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:51.840
me get you out of here. Let me tell you
197
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.559
one more thing from the BBC. Hundreds of comedians have
198
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.919
reportedly gone unpaid after the Lesser Comedy Festival. The festival
199
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.639
attracted around a hundred th spectators and featured more than
200
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.559
five hundred acts, including Stephen Frye, Sarah Pesco and Rosie Holt.
201
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.759
Organizers said performers were expected to be paid after the event,
202
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.759
which ran in February, but payments have been delayed because
203
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.240
of cash flow problems. Comedian Benjamin Alborough said he was
204
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.279
owed just short of two thousand British pounds. It's very frustrating.
205
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.200
I got bills to pay like everybody else. Between festival
206
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.120
registration fees and travel and accommodation and production costs AFT
207
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.600
to invest several hundred pounds per individual show. I want
208
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.320
the Lester Comedy Festival to succeed because it's a brilliant thing.
209
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.840
But in order to do that, everyone needs to get paid.
210
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.639
Artists needs to be paid money. Canadian comedian Zoe Brownstone
211
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.000
said she was owed around two hundred and twenty five
212
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.559
US dollars. I guess they did a conversion here. I've
213
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.120
done a few festivals, this, by a mile was the
214
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.919
most prepared. People donated more for tickets. Leaving the festival,
215
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.799
I felt great. I never felt so positive. It's astonishing
216
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.879
to me that a big organized festival can't pay me
217
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.200
at the end of the day. Michael Harris Wakelam, chief
218
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.879
executive of the nonprofit organization Big Difference, which runs the festival,
219
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.120
said it's a case of the cash flow problem. But
220
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.960
we're trying to communicate with the artist is this is
221
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.960
a case of a small delay rather than you won't
222
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.720
be paid. He said the organization was still waiting on
223
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.960
money from sponsorships, third party ticket sales and commissioned shows,
224
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.960
and was exploring bridge financing with banks. That is your
225
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.519
comedy news for today, See you tomorrow,
