Johnny Mac delivers Daily Comedy News covering Trevor Noah’s World Cup commentary about FIFA corruption and U.S. government interference, noting Noah’s live streams draw about 250,000 views. He recaps Dave Chappelle’s July 4 CNN appearance with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, where Chappelle answers a question about being proud to be American by praising his “countrymen.” The main story is the 25th anniversary of The Office (UK): a BBC special reunites Mackenzie Crook and Martin Freeman, while Ricky Gervais marks the anniversary on YouTube with 25 David Brent moments and fan Q&As; Freeman disputes Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s claims the show was entirely scripted, describing it as “loose.” A David Brent bust is unveiled at a Premier Inn in Slough. The episode also covers Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift’s wedding and being spotted for ice cream and basketball, Amy Schumer joking online about not being invited, low view counts for some YouTube late-night shows, and Will Arnett describing Madonna doing 40 minutes of standup.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:04.919
Caloroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.599
Oh man, I am so happy because the comedians are

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.359
hooking it up and fighting with each other. It's wonderful. Hello.

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.760
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I've got

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.519
two days of comedian fights. We'll save the mega comedian

6
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.000
aperghetti stuff for tomorrow. Today we'll dive in on the

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.879
office Wars. But first, let me tell you about Trevor Noah.

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.440
He had some thoughts about the World's Cup and the

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.600
President of the United States. Now in the video that

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.079
I'm sharing the audio of, if you hear clapping sounds,

11
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.520
that's because Trevor Nooa keeps clapping his hands, and it

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.840
is worth noting that he was wearing a Team USA

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.119
jersey during this clip. Here's Trevor Noah. Americans were very

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.280
quick and proud to say FIFA is a corrupt organization,

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.520
the corrupt fifas corrupt. I'm glad FIFA's coming to America

16
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.240
because finally they're going to be held accountable.

17
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.280
Until they needed some of that corruption for themselves, until

18
00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.200
Americans needed.

19
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.920
Some of that corruption for himself. Yes, then now they're like, yeah, man,

20
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.359
Bulligan needs to play belligan.

21
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.239
I'm Glad Bullagan's because that was a bull brinker. Yeah,

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.519
until you need this happens. Welcome to the World.

23
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.400
Com But what do you mean, this happens all the time, yo.

24
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.879
It doesn't matter who you are.

25
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.000
Welcome to the World Cup.

26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.040
I don't care who you are.

27
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:19.200
I don't care what country.

28
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.680
You When this tournaments, thought that I had my conspiracy theories.

29
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.040
My man, they were people who are anti Trump, and

30
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.359
then when this thing was happened, now for the first time,

31
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.640
they're like, nah, but Trump did the right thing. Hey,

32
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.719
this is government interference. Guys, send your letters to Trevor No.

33
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.000
I've noticed his World Cup live streams are getting around

34
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.239
two hundred and fifty thousand views, not a bad number

35
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.359
at all. Over the weekend, it was July fourth, Dave

36
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.560
Chappelle was on CNN with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.

37
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.920
In the clip, Chappelle appears to be in front of

38
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.599
a crowd, perhaps at a comedy show. But here's Dave

39
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.400
Chappelle and it's for pacing and language. Hey, Dave, you're

40
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:58.480
such an You are so emblematic to the idea of

41
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.200
the power of freeze.

42
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.280
Tell me tonight as we look at the two hundred

43
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.400
and fiftieth anniversary of this country.

44
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.639
Why you are proud to be an American?

45
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.360
And how do you view our country today?

46
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.240
For that's a loaded question. Now, I see why Trump

47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.800
gets mad at y'all all the time. Why would you

48
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.240
ask me that? All right? No, I got an answer

49
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.840
for that. I don't agree with everything that our government does.

50
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.639
But the one thing that I really consistently believe in

51
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.879
that I love about being an American is my Countryman.

52
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.639
If I'm overseas or around the world, anytime I see

53
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.520
an American over there, we just give each other the

54
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.240
fight club look, because we live in a madness that

55
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.000
only we really understand what it's all about. And I

56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.919
have faith in my countrymen, no matter how crazy. All

57
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.400
of this will make it feel that the sun will

58
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.599
rise and that I feel like I'm part of a

59
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.680
very incredible community. So God bless my countryman, and let

60
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.400
us megas country absolutely great.

61
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.599
Now, the big story today, the big fight is the Office,

62
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.879
the UK Office. Guys, they're all fighting with each other.

63
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.080
It had been fifteen years since Mackenzie Crook and Martin

64
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.439
Freeman had seen each other, but it is the twenty

65
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.960
fifth anniversary of the Office or you may know it

66
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.360
as The Office UK and they have done a special

67
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.560
for BBC. They share their memories of working and laughing

68
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.599
alongside Ricky Gervais Will Get to Him, co writer Stephen Merchant,

69
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.639
and the other leading Office colleague Lucy Davis, who played

70
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.280
Don who is the analog to Pam for You Americans.

71
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.159
Among the anecdotes, they tell us of how Martin Freeman

72
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.960
initially auditioned to play Gareth Now, Mackenzie embraced one of

73
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.400
TV's worst ever haircuts, how Ricky came close to ruining

74
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.800
filming on a daily basis, and what it was like

75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.479
to be at the heart of Office medium when the

76
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.439
show was at its peak. You will find Mackenzie Crook

77
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.680
and Martin Freeman Remember The Office on BBC two an

78
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.639
I player today at ten pm. I assume that's UK time.

79
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159
They're five hours ahead of us. You do the math.

80
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.919
Ricky Gervas and Stephen Merchant do not appear in the

81
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.039
one off show. Why not, well, because Ricky Gervase is

82
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.520
marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Office with a

83
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.800
rundown of his favorite David Brent moments. Ricky is presenting

84
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.560
each of the twenty five moments on his YouTube channel

85
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.759
and said, there will be never before told stories here.

86
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.839
Let me let Ricky tell it to you. I have

87
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:25.199
chop this up for piecing.

88
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.519
I've made a special show to commemorate twenty five year

89
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.759
anniversary of the Office, just me chatting about my memories

90
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.879
of the show, my favorite myths, and a whole lot more.

91
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.000
David Brent begging for his job back was the first

92
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.560
bit of serious acting I've ever done. I was a

93
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.240
little flat bloke playing him. Let's be honest, rick you

94
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.439
won't wear im Patvin waya no watch it. It's free,

95
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.519
so yeah, you do the math.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.160
His YouTube channel will feature plenty of David Brent and

97
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.680
will also have other archive materials from his other shows,

98
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.959
including Afterlife and his stand up shows, alongside content made

99
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:12.040
specifically for the channel. Ricky's YouTube channel already has Sunday

100
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.120
evening live streams where Ricky takes audience questions. Topics have

101
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.480
ranged from ai in comedy and creative inspiration to veganism.

102
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.759
Ricky Tervay said, I'm absolutely loving building my YouTube channel.

103
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.720
It's the best way to interact with my wonderful fans

104
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.800
without leaving the house and actually bumping into any of

105
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.759
those weirdos. So if you think this thing where he's

106
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.000
not on the BBC was about scheduling, I think differently.

107
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.720
Martin Freeman said his recollection of Making the Office is

108
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.279
different than that of Ricky and Stephen Merchant. Jervas and

109
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.319
Merchant have long said The Office was entirely scripted. Martin Freeman,

110
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.120
who played Tim, says it was looser than they suggest.

111
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.639
Freeman said he was left frustrated when a book of

112
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.160
the shows scripts was released filled with transcriptions of the

113
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.279
lines that made it into the final episode, including his

114
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.720
own improv as part of the BBC two special Remember

115
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.759
of the Office. Kirk Freeman, another thing people always ask

116
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.800
you is how much was improvised? Very little bit, because

117
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.439
it was all there on the page. Freeman responded, It

118
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.399
was all there on the page. However, I think my

119
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.040
true feeling about it is what it became the monster

120
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.000
that it did because it sounded improvised. Understandably, Ricky and

121
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.439
Stephen went, no, none of it is improvised. What slightly

122
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.680
annoyed me at the time, but only slightly at the time,

123
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.399
is that when scripts were published, they weren't the scripts,

124
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.839
They were the transcriptions of what had been on Telly.

125
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.920
So that annoyed me a little bit because anyone who

126
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.560
knows any of us knows the line came from you.

127
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.800
In that moment, the line came from me. It was loose.

128
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.040
That's to Ricky and Steven's credit, because the scripts were

129
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.519
absolutely brilliant. It wasn't improvised, but was what I would

130
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.800
call loose. Freeman argued, he can understand why there's a

131
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.879
little bit of protection about that, because otherwise people would

132
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.319
have gone, hey, you just rock up and make it

133
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.399
all up, which is clearly not the case. The writing

134
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.160
on it was brilliant. You only need to know us

135
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.600
a little bit or no the process of it to

136
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.560
know we're also in there. It doesn't mean it's a

137
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.160
co credit, it doesn't mean it's improvised. It's nicely loose.

138
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.480
So what does that mean Either you read the words

139
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.800
or you didn't. A statue of David Brant, that is

140
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.360
Ricky's character on The Office UK, in case you're not

141
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.480
familiar with that particular program, has been unveiled at the

142
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.439
Premiere Inn in Slough. Yes. The clay sculpture of David

143
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.800
Brent was commissioned by Premiere in It is displayed at

144
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.600
the Slough Trading Estate Hotel. The Premiere inn sits on

145
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.399
the side of the old building used in the series

146
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.040
opening credits. Oh that makes sense. The new installation was

147
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.600
revealed by David Brent impersonator Tim Oliver, who recreated the

148
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.720
stance alongside some of the character's distinctive dance routines. The

149
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.199
bust took one hundred and twenty hours to put together

150
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.079
and weighs seven kilograms. It will be permanently installed off

151
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.439
the site. A spokesperson for the hotel chain told The

152
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.519
Daily Star, We're thrilled to unveil this brilliant tribute to

153
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.839
markets place in British comedy history. Ricky's iconic character truly

154
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.720
puts Slough on the map, and it's only fitting to

155
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.040
honor him with this memorable statue, which we hope will

156
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.199
be particularly popular with some of the millions of business

157
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.120
travelers who stay with us each year. Whilst the building

158
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.920
itself is totally transformed, our guests are more likely to

159
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.199
be interested in pillows than photocopiers. Eagle eyed fans will

160
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.160
certainly spot the similarity in the footprint of the site.

161
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.959
The spokesperson for the Premiere in added from tech to

162
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.360
business attire. Office life has changed drastically in the twenty

163
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.000
five years since the show aired, but what hasn't changed

164
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.360
is the need for business travelers to know what they're

165
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.639
getting with a great night's sleep and a comfortable room,

166
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.639
ready to face the day, no matter how embarrassing their

167
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.199
boss is. You know, I'm gonna make a decision on

168
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.600
the fly. Here I got two more office stories. Rain

169
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.360
Wilson called out Ricky Travay's let's save that for tomorrow,

170
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.200
and I'm gonna tell you a story about Kevin from

171
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.799
the office tomorrow because we got to deal with Taylor

172
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.759
Swift stuff. And by the way, this is way more

173
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.320
news than I thought we were gonna have coming out

174
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.919
of July fourth. This is all wonderful. Thank you comedians.

175
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.519
George Stephanopoulos said Adam Sandler was funny and touching. And

176
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.759
not only did Adam Sandler officiate the wedding of Taylor Swift, really,

177
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.039
he also performed an original song that was humorous and

178
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.039
touching and was all about their love. Oh can you

179
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.039
imagine Sandler's been out and about. He was spoted but

180
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.799
at Sawyer's on the Pier, a place that serves homemade

181
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.120
ice cream. That's right. There was a Facebook group from

182
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.360
Sawyer's Daily Bar. They shared that Adam Sandler stopped in

183
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.039
at Sawyer's on the Pier on July fourth for some

184
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.039
ice cream. That was just a day after officiating Taylor

185
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.960
Swift's wedding. The social media post highlighted a series of selfies,

186
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.759
all taken by Sandler, and interestingly, this article calls Saandlor

187
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.000
the star of Uncut Gems. People are coming around to

188
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.080
the way I think and recognizing him as a dramatic

189
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.480
actor and of course a wedding officiator and not at

190
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.840
all a comedian because he's not good at comedy. But

191
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.480
he's a good actor and apparently a solid person to

192
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.639
have officiate your wedding. If you ever wanted to have him,

193
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.120
I'm sure he'll do it. The Uncut Gem Star and

194
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.960
a bunch of staff members from Sawyer's to selfies. We

195
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.320
are told it looks like they were having a fun time.

196
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.720
What a great article. Then on Sunday, which is July fifth,

197
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.519
he was seen in Nantucket playing basketball at Bacchus Lane.

198
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.559
According to the Nantucket Current, Adam Sandler called the police

199
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.240
department's non emergency line to ask where he could play basketball.

200
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.120
Personnel directed him to Backus Lane Court, which is part

201
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.759
of Nantucket Intermediate School. Imagine Nantucket police, How may I

202
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.919
help you? Hi, this is Adam Sandler. Oh, yes, mister Sandler,

203
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.440
how can I help you? Yeah? Do you guys have

204
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.080
a basketball court? Dude? Use the internet. Why are you

205
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.279
bothering the police with this, even if it's the non

206
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.879
emergency line. Are you serious about this? Or is this

207
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.240
a way that you have a more colorful story in

208
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.080
the press. Is it that Johnny Mack? Of course it's

209
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.440
that guy's where told Andrew Kessler and his friends normally

210
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.320
don't play outdoor basketball, but they coincidentally showed up at

211
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.159
the park. Kessler told ESPN. We see a car pull

212
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.879
into the parking lot and there's a guy wearing an

213
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.799
interesting outfit. Initially they joked that it was Adam Sandler.

214
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.919
Once the person got closer, they realized it was indeed

215
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.639
Adam Sandler. Kessler said, Adam Sandlor has elite passing. He

216
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.919
didn't miss a pass. They were all dimes. His layup

217
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.919
game was good. I didn't really see him shoot the ball. Really,

218
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.840
he is a good playmaker. You can tell that he's

219
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.879
played a lot in his life. Meanwhile, Amy Schumer, who

220
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.679
likes when we talk about her, wants you to know

221
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.080
she was not invited to the wedding of Taylor Swift.

222
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.840
Neither was I Amy. Amy Schumer trolled the happy couple

223
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.720
with several Instagram posts, including a spoof outfit for Thursday

224
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.320
night's rehearsal dinner. Schumer joked on Friday morning rehearsal dinner

225
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.320
was sick. Who knows what she has planned for us?

226
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.759
Then there was a second post which also featured Life

227
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.360
and Beth co star Michael Sarah. That one was captioned Okay,

228
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.840
so why weren't we allowed in? Apparently Amy has been

229
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.080
taking shots at Taylor for some time. Back in twenty sixteen,

230
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.519
Amy Schumer took a shot at Taylor Swift's Grammy outfit,

231
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.480
sharing a photo of herself and writing Taylor, that's not

232
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.519
a thigh gap. This is a thigh gap. That got

233
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.559
some backlash from the Swifties. Schumer responded, I'm a comic

234
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.519
and should never make fun of myself at the expense

235
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.200
of anyone else that it wasn't making fun of in

236
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.879
the first place. How about everybody takes a deep breath

237
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.440
Schumer's rep had to step in and tell people Amy

238
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.159
loves Taylor was making a joke because she does and

239
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.240
have a thigh gap again. I am so excited to

240
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.679
have this much feisty content. Week of July fourth, no

241
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.799
filler at all. When I was looking up to Trevor

242
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.360
Noah Numbers, I checked in on Ben Gleb. You know

243
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.080
he's got that late night show on YouTube of sorts.

244
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.600
Good Night with Ben Glebe Episode six had thirty five

245
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.519
thousand views at eleven nineteen. On Tuesday, they did split

246
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.120
out his monologue from episode six that had three hundred

247
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.240
and eighty eight views, John, did you say three hundred

248
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.679
and eighty eight? I did meanwhile, competing YouTube late night

249
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.759
show Outside Tonight, and that one is kind of more official.

250
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.759
An episode that had posted four days ago has eighty

251
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.120
seven hundred views. That's not going to cut it. An

252
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.960
isolated clip of Caleb here on Outside Tonight's, and Caleb

253
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.279
has a lot of Internet followers. That clip has four

254
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.600
hundred and seventeen views. Did you say four hundred and seventeen, John,

255
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.240
I did four hundred and seventeen. And a clip they

256
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.720
pulled out from the show titled we found the Gayest Dog.

257
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.799
How many views does that have? John Found the Gayest

258
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.840
Dog has fifty nine views? Did you say fifty nine?

259
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.559
I did remember like a year ago, Madonna supposedly did

260
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.399
some stand up comedy. Well, not supposedly she did. Will

261
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.919
Arnett was speaking with Romesh Oranga Nathan and told Hermesh

262
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.440
how Madonna did forty minutes of stand up. He said,

263
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.360
we had a night where Madonna went up. Amy Schuber

264
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.600
brought her. She said Madonna's gonna come. The audience went crazy.

265
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.240
I think she did about forty minutes. She had a

266
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.879
binder and she was reading from it. But I got

267
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.759
to say, it takes a lot of guts, because you know,

268
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.679
Madonna's shy. An audience member said she did well enough,

269
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.480
but the audience was so stunned it was Madonna that

270
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.080
it took the entire set to warm up to her.

271
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.360
She didn't do as well as she thinks she would.

272
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.440
She got laught every time she dropped deaf bombs, because

273
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.960
just hearing Madonna curse is funny. She elsa nailed a

274
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.320
joke about how with all these Trump deportations, she's not

275
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.720
gonna have any staff left, which got some laughs. But really,

276
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.440
everyone was just so shocked that she was there. And
