00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.080
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny mack who with your
2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.439
daily comedy news. It looks like Forbes. Somebody at Forbes
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.519
anyway are the biggest fans of Shane Gillis. The headline
4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.760
SNL brings Shane Gillis back to host following controversial firing
5
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.800
and poorly received first hosting gig. Was it poorly received?
6
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.840
No SNL this week, but March first? I think it's
7
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.039
the date. Shane Gillis is hosting SNL, Yes, March first,
8
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.920
to you know, eight days Forbes, right. Shane Gillis, the
9
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.880
comedian whose history of jokes deemed racist and offensive led
10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.119
to his controversial firing from Saturday Night Live in twenty nineteen,
11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.359
is hosting the show for a second time, despite critics
12
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.520
saying he struggled and bombed in his first hosting gig
13
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.840
last year. They did pull some reviews where some people
14
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.960
thought Shane struggled, some thought he bombed. I thought it
15
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.600
was pretty funny to each of their own, all right.
16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.439
I bounced this from yesterday from the Root. They write,
17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.000
comedian Trevor Noah has never been one to shy away
18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.319
from hot topics and hot takes, but this latest one
19
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.200
has the Internet sounding off and for a good reason.
20
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.519
I seen this earlier in the week, and I wanted
21
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.480
to take a beat and just see how it unpacked
22
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.239
and lets of other people provide wisdom before I started
23
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.400
chiming in here. In the latest episode of the What
24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.200
Now podcast, Trevor has guest Ruha Benjamin, a professor of
25
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.879
African American studies at Princeton University. They discuss whether or
26
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.439
not integration was better for America as a whole when
27
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.239
it came to black people the root Rights. While some
28
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.920
black folks may feel like integration was ultimately beneficial, Trevor
29
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.439
Noah argued that segregation may have actually been the best
30
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.079
if we separate the oppressive and negative ways it affected
31
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.840
things like the school system and other entities. The root
32
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.560
rights is sentiments matched that of other black folks who
33
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.760
also believed that we would be better off tending to
34
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.120
our own gardens, businesses, and society in general and separate
35
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.480
from white folks. Continuing to quote from the root, Noah
36
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.799
also cided the country of Finland as further proof of
37
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.400
a country that's better when its people are all unified
38
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.599
and on one accord as to what goals they want.
39
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.519
To accomplish and the backlash the black people faced on
40
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.000
the aftermath in the US once integration took place. When
41
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.840
he posed the question to Professor Benjamin, she agreed, citing
42
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.599
the fact that segregation and integration weren't the only options
43
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.520
and that it didn't ultimately serve black people to be
44
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.840
integrated into institutions and systems that were riddled with anxiety, hierarchy,
45
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.039
and white supremacy. Naturally, once the clip went viral on
46
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.479
social media, many had much to say. One person tweeted,
47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.840
quoting the tweet, Trevor Noah almost certainly lives in a
48
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.879
nearly all white neighborhood. LMAO. I was curious. I googled
49
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.560
Trevor Noah residents. The New York Post reported on March
50
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.840
eighteenth of twenty twenty four, Trevor Noah tours four point
51
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.240
seven million dollar home in New York City's West Village.
52
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.879
The New York Post on September eighth of twenty twenty
53
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.879
three reported Trevor Noah sells New York City penthouse for
54
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.599
nine and a half million dollars. They say Noah lived
55
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.479
in style inside Stella Tower at four to twenty five
56
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.439
West fiftieth Street. There is a video from a channel
57
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.520
that calls itself the Real Estate Insider. Their video is
58
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.080
titled Trevor Noah bell Air Mansion twenty six million, four
59
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.479
hundred thousand dollars. House of Celebs has a video from
60
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.759
November twenty four titled Trevor Noah's impressive twenty four point
61
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.280
nine million dollar Los Angeles home. I make no editorial
62
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.759
comment there. I'm just telling you I was curious where
63
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.719
does Trevor Noah live. Another user wrote, MAGA is going
64
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.680
to be posting this as owning Trevor Noah, but he
65
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.360
brings up great points. Americ was so racist that integration
66
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.520
was very complicated. That's what he's saying. Another user said
67
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.039
Trevor Noah would probably be president if he was American.
68
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.319
He's basically the second coming of Obama. Comedian D L.
69
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.879
Hugly chimed in and called Trevor Noah's opinion the stupidest
70
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.560
thing he's ever heard. Hugely told TMZ, I've had enough
71
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.280
from South Africans between Elon Musk and Trevor. I don't
72
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.639
need to hear about race from two dudes from South Africa.
73
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.879
Trevor Noah has yet to respond to deal hugely as
74
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.400
I record this. I'm actually recording this on Wednesday to
75
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.360
accommodate my schedule. I plan to listen to the episode.
76
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.199
I'm actually going to download it right now while I
77
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.840
remember to educ hate myself more on the subject. The
78
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.919
episode is titled DEI with Ruha Benjamin. The episode description
79
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.520
includes the three discuss whether DEI initiatives are in fact
80
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.000
valuable and how the world will look without them, while
81
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.120
universities honor people whose voices they previously tried to silence,
82
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.959
and how best to navigate a world that was not
83
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.480
built for us? Can the three collectively imagine a better
84
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.920
world order? While I have my phone out, I see
85
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.040
The February sixth episode was titled No One Told Trevor
86
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.959
he was hosting the Grammys. I'm downloading that one too.
87
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.199
I can hear some of you. Now, go jug get
88
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.480
to the comedy. Come on, So I'm getting political. This
89
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.720
is where comedy is right now. John Oliver talk to
90
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.839
USA Today the topic the speed of news in the
91
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.079
second Trump administration. Oliver says, that's what everyone's wrestling with,
92
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:43.680
isn't it. I guess it's very helpful to have a
93
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.360
show to process all these feelings. Though this may age
94
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.439
very badly, said John, but I'm hoping that we'll be
95
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.680
able to do more of those timeless stories because we've
96
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.480
been to contain the chaos. John wants to reassure his
97
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.839
viewers without giving false hope. I don't know how that's
98
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.680
going to end up. We're going to try our best.
99
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.759
For our last show of last year, we were trying
100
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.600
to meet people where they were. We definitely don't want
101
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.319
to give false hope. There's lots of that right now,
102
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.920
So yeah, I don't know. That's what we're tackling this week.
103
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.720
We're trying to land on something that is uplifting in
104
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.399
a way that you can stand on. We can't say
105
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.959
everything's gonna be all right, Clearly it is not. We
106
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.920
generally don't like to follow what's happening in the news
107
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.319
of the week, but that's harder to do when the
108
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.839
administration is this chaotic. Hopefully, going forward, we'll be able
109
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.120
to contain the chaos of the Trump administration at the
110
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.759
start of the show, and then the main body of
111
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.920
it can be left for the more systemic issues, which
112
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.160
were more interested in covering showing people things they haven't
113
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.240
seen before rather than stuff they're seeing all the time.
114
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.519
USA Today said to John, in the last episode of
115
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.519
twenty four, you mentioned you had a wish for twenty five,
116
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.279
which was less Elon Musk. That hasn't exactly turned out
117
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.519
the way you were hoping. Oliver said, I think I
118
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.800
might just stop wishing for things. There's a genie with
119
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.839
a very sixth sense of humor somewhere. I don't see
120
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.560
us getting any less Elon Musk anytime soon. We're getting
121
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.879
more and more of him to a medically inadvisable degree.
122
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.480
Good question here, John Oliver, do you foresee more pushback
123
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.560
on your content from your corporate parents. HBO is owned
124
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.000
by Warner Brothers Discovery. John said, definitely. We will continue
125
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.959
to behave like there's nothing we can't talk about. That's
126
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.279
how we've operated the last eleven years, and that's certainly
127
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.600
how we're going to continue doing it. Let's get out
128
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.160
of the political zone. Tig Nataro is going to host
129
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.839
the Ambies. Those are some podcast awards. Now. Don't get
130
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.720
too excited about podcast awards. There are podcast awards every
131
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.639
sixteen minutes in this country, I believe. Anyway. Grammy nominated
132
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.160
comedian and podcaster tig Natara will host the Ambies on
133
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.720
March thirty first in Chicago. The ceremony will be live
134
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.680
on Twitch from six to seven thirty pm at Central
135
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.040
Time on that Monday night. The Ambies celebrate excellence in
136
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.600
podcasting and elevate awareness and status of podcasts. Blah blah blah.
137
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.199
Tigg said, I'm so excited to host the Podcast Academy's
138
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.439
fifth annual Awards for Excellence in Audio. It's like being
139
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.439
at the Oscars, only at celebrating those of us who
140
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.720
are good at talking into a microphone while wearing sweatpants
141
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.040
in our closets with pillows on our windows. Take that,
142
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.079
Meryl and Merrill, while I have your attention, would be
143
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.199
a guest on my podcast. I won't do all the nominees.
144
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.000
We'll look at some of them. Podcasts of the Year,
145
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.720
see if any comedies are here. Ninety nine percent Invisible,
146
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.079
Beyond All Repairs and Men, City, Dragon Age, Empire City,
147
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.079
Far Away, Fire Escape, Hot White Heist two Hysterical and
148
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.319
through line. Hot White Heist two is actually an audible show,
149
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.480
so those of us in the industry would argue whether
150
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.480
or not it's a podcast. Anyway, it stars, Bowen Yang,
151
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.639
Jane Lynch, Cynthia Nixon, Ian McKellen, and others. Best Comedy Podcasts,
152
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.439
the nominees are By the Way, there's breaking news, my
153
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.199
daughter reporting and from college. She got her housing for
154
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.160
next year. My phone will not stop beeping. I'm very
155
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.399
happy for her, but I already told you I'm recording
156
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.879
a podcast. Stop texting me. Dad's a jerk. Right click
157
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.920
Idle Alerts. Best Comedy Podcast, the nominees are Conan O'Brien
158
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.560
Needs a Friend, Hot White Heist two, which again is
159
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.519
an Audible show, not really podcast, Lost Culturistas with Matt
160
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.839
Rodgers and Boone Yang. So Bowen's up against Bowen, scam Goddess, SmartLess,
161
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.120
We're here to help? And who replaced Avril Levigne. Out
162
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.720
of those, I would pick Conan. I guess none of
163
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.639
that really excites me. Best Interview one of the nominees,
164
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.879
thanks Dad with egg nuotum. Apparently that's the thing. Best
165
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.319
Performance in Audio Fiction, sponsored by Audible. The first nominee
166
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.600
is Hot White Heist Too, which is produced by Audible.
167
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.439
When it isn't really a podcast, it's an audio series
168
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.439
you can get on Audible. It's different than a podcast.
169
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.079
A podcast of course, as you know, would include an
170
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.000
RSS feed enclosure. But well, I don't want to get
171
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.240
into that today anyway. One of the nominees Boon Yang
172
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.199

173

00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.879
some other folks who are not comedians. The press release
176
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.879
here has a section called about Tignazaro. Should we read it?
177
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.879
Yes we should. Tig Nataro is an Emmy, Grammy, WGA,
178
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.240
and SAG Award nominated comedian actor. Of course, great actor
179
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.320

180
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.879
the greatest Star Trek series ever made. Not actor, writer,
181
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.320

194
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.279
Jimmy Fallon has checked off another item from his bucket list.
195
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.240
He got his picture at Sardes. Sardes is a very
196
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.159
New York thing. It's been a staple of the Broadway
197
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.080
community since the nineteen twenties, and it honors its famous
198
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.679
patrons with caricteratures. You know, they draw you and they
199
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.039
stick you on the wall, and you sit there and
200
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.600
eat at Sarti's and you look at the wall and
201
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.480
you go, oh, I recognize that person, or I kind
202
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.679
of heard that person's name, or other people are like,
203
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.120
has that person on the wall? The time honor tradition
204
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.039
has resulted in a collection of some twelve hundred portraits
205
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.600
adorning its walls. Jimmy Fallon had recently voiced his hopes
206
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.639
that he would score a Sardi's portrait. Fallon had kicked
207
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.840
off a six day run starring in the rotating cast
208
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.639
of Simon Rich's all In comedy about Love. After Fallon
209
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.360
made his wish, Stephen Colbert announced his own desire to
210
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:22.240
be immortalized at Sardis. Colbert was interviewing Linn Manuel Miranda
211
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.879
at the time. Lynn promised Colbert he'd make a call.
212
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.080
I've bounced this story for a week. I don't know
213
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.399
if you heard. SNL turned fifty and we talked about
214
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.120
it a lot. Anyway, so last week, when Paul Schaeffer
215
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.320
was sitting in as the band leader, Paul said to Fallon,
216
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.000
Lionel Barrymore and those classic actors, they went on a
217
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.120
whole career and they'd get their portraits and Sardis after
218
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.080
like seventy five years on Broadway. How long was your run,
219
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.480
Fallan said, almost a week. Fallon encouraged fans to visit
220
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.360
Sarties themselves, both to support the theater community and to
221
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.039
catch a glimpse of Jimmy Fallon's character. Chure Jimmy said,
222
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.960
go to Sardis and on your way to the men's room,
223
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.600
look out for someone familiar. Fun fact, Jimmy Fallon is
224
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.480
now the fourth Tonight Show host Hang on the restaurant's walls.
225
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.840
All right, let me list the host for you. Hopefully
226
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.759
I don't forget anybody. I'll get a nasty note from
227
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.639
Mike Chishom would be like, how did you forget so
228
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.960
and so? All right, So we had Steve Allen, then
229
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.600
Jack Parr. We don't talk enough about Jack Port. Jack
230
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.559
Parr is fantastic, a little before my time, but I
231
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:24.039
know I'm educated. Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno,
232
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.840
and Jimmy Fallon. I didn't forget anybody there, right, I mean,
233
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.639
I guess hosts? All right? So who are the four
234
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.000
that are hanging in Sarties? Can you guess? I'll come
235
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.159
back and on in with that, I'll tell you one
236
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.480
more stories. So who are the four hosts including Jimmy Fallon?
237
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.320
So that who are the other three that made the
238
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.519
wall in Sarties? James A. Caster is going to be
239
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.919
a judge on Dinner Is Scrapped? On Dinner Is Scrapped,
240
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.000
two celebrity chefs battle it out in the kitchen, be
241
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:54.919
using only ecologically sound ingredients, such as upcycled foods, which
242
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.600
are wasting byproducts that would not have otherwise been consumed
243
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:03.440
by humans. A caster likes food. He hosts the food
