Variety's Comics to Watch 2024 PLUS Shane Gillis crushes as Trump on Kill Tony

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.759
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Chiniac who with your daily comedy news and

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.039
it's a good one today. A
lot going on. Let's start with Late

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.120
Night. They had some pretty good
jokes. Stephen Colbert said Trump entered the

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.039
arena like Rocky belt Boa if Rocky
fought for Russia. Anthony Anderson, subbing

5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.800
it for Jimmy Kimmel said Trump entered
the convention like a heavyweight champ with the

6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.559
swagger of Mike Tyson in the ear
of a vander Holyfield. John Stewart talked

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.920
about JD Vance and said it's like
for Vice President Donald selected the actor who

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.960
would be hired to play Don Junior
in the Lifetime movie. That was pretty

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.960
good. Seth Meyers said JD Vance
looks like teen Wolf graduated and came back

10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.920
to coach the team. Seth added, I got a bunch of these,

11
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.560
but it's a long campaign, so
I'm gonna save some. Jimmy Fallon pointed

12
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.159
out in a new interview with Lester
Holt, Joe Biden admitted that he hasn't

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.520
watched the whole debate with Trump.
Fallon said, oh, so that's why

14
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.960
he thinks he should stay in the
race. If you like keep political jokes,

15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.920
go check out The Ballot podcast live
from the Republican National Convention this week.

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.640
Numbers are up on that one.
We're having a good time doing that

17
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.040
one. Another thing you absolutely want
to check out is kill Tony. No,

18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.000
that's not a violent act. That's
the name of a podcast slash YouTube

19
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.159
series. You know, Kill Tony. Tony Hinchcliffe, the guy that you

20
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.359
thought was funny at the roast of
Tom Brady. He has amateurs come up,

21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.000
they do one minute of comedy and
then he has celebrity friends come by.

22
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.840
Anyway, on Kill Tony, Shane
Gillis showed up as Donald Trump.

23
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.000
Adam Ray showed up as Joe Biden. The clip is hilarious. Let's listen

24
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.159
to Shane Gillis do Donald Trump while
dressed up as a pretty convincing Donald Tony.

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.159
What an unbelievable experience it is.
What a great show this could be.

26
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.439
Instead, we've got an absolute idiot
here running the show. As the

27
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.680
clip goes on, Shane can be
seen breaking character as he couldn't hold in

28
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.280
his laughter while reacting to Adam Ray's
Joe Biden impression. The Biden impression is

29
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.599
I'm not sharing any audio, because
it's really just a guy staying off into

30
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.840
space and then says something vulgar,
and we don't do that here. John

31
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.599
Stewart explained why they didn't go to
Milwaukee and said, well, obviously we

32
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.000
were supposed to be doing our shows
for Milwaukee for the R and C this

33
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.120
week, but because of the attempt
on the former president's life, the venue

34
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.599
on which we had planned to do
the show, a theater, which was

35
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.840
originally located in the soft perimeter,
as they called it, security wise,

36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.840
was shifted understandably to the hard perimeter. You don't really want to be in

37
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.439
the hard perimeter. Less facetiously,
he explained that crowds wouldn't have been able

38
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.080
to get to the theater, so
there was no reason to do a live

39
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.599
show without people. That all makes
sense, John Stewart, all right,

40
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.680
Two big stories came out. The
first one Variety's Comics to Watch for twenty

41
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.840
twenty four. This is an annual
list of some people to keep an eye

42
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.800
on. Let's take a look at
the list. First up, Asif Ali,

43
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.759
I'm not familiar with Asif, Variety
says, Ali's been making his rounds

44
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.719
in the acting space for some time. From appearing on shows like Wanda Vision,

45
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.039
The Mandalorian, and BoJack Horseman.
He'll soon be seen starring in the

46
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.879
upcoming Hulu comedy series Deli Boys,
where he leads an all South Asian led

47
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.919
show. He's a member of the
sketch group Goatface, alongside Fahim Anwar,

48
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.120
Aristotle Athari, and Hassan Minaj,
all of them who I know, all

49
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.159
right, that sounds a good recommendation. This next guy. If you listen

50
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.520
to me every day, you probably
know Ralph Barbosa. He's had a couple

51
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.159
specials out and that was the guy
George Lopez took a shot at, right,

52
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.800
So Ralph we know. Jackie Fabulous
has been hustling in the comedy game

53
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.159
since realizing her log gig at Caltech
wasn't doing it for her anymore, and

54
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.360
at thirty five Stand Up Comedy.
She was on America's Gut Talent in twenty

55
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.360
nineteen. Next up, and I'm
gonna have to try to not go on

56
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.280
a total rantier Rachel Feinstein, why
would you rant? John Well? Many

57
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.639
years ago back at Sirius XM,
we had Rachel and Steve. Who's Steve?

58
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.960
Steve's just some guy but Rachel and
Steve were hosting the morning show.

59
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.919
The Rachel was Rachel Feinstein, who's
now a comic to watch. Back in

60
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.879
the day, we were pretty good
at identifying talent. The boss is no

61
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.919
long term vision. Hey, boss, would you like Amy Schumer to do

62
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.039
a show for you know? Who's
that? Get us? Chris Rock?

63
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.319
I'll get you, Chris Rock.
Do you have a million dollars? You

64
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.680
know? So that kind of thing
would gone. So we had Rachel doing

65
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.879
mornings, and then when it was
time to redo the budget, a boss

66
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.039
said to me, well, why
would we compete against Howard Stern? The

67
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.000
reason you compete against Howard Stern,
Boss is because Howard Stern isn't for everybody,

68
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.600
And over time people age, including
me the boss, Howard Stern,

69
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.519
and younger generations come along. And
if you talk to Howard's been behind the

70
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.399
paywall now since two thousand and six, it's almost twenty years Howard to anybody

71
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.680
under I don't know, forty forty
five. Nobody listens to Howard. Old

72
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.040
people listen to Howard. So I
think there was a case to Rachel do

73
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.240
mornings now here ten fifteen years later, I'm not sure Rachel would still be

74
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.560
doing mornings on the Raw Dog channel. But anyway, you could have given

75
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.360
us some bucks for this one.
Rachel Feinstein, one of Variety's ten comics

76
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.000
to watch, Johnny thought you said
you weren't going to do a slow burn.

77
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.879
I can't help myself. Do you
want to hear about how we wanted

78
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.639
to give Deane Cook a show and
there was no budget. You know how

79
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.439
popular Dame Cook was there ever a
while. Serenity now Krimmel originally attended college

80
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.600
to study journalism. She signed up
for a stand up comedy class at the

81
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:09.399
Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington. She
spent years working on her craft and since

82
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.079
discovered that her disability was a strength
on stage, realizing it wouldn't make people

83
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.920
uncomfortable. Now, the article didn't
address her disability, but I found this

84
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.160
wonderful quote from her. She says, I get that I'm unconventional. I'm

85
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.639
disabled, but I'm not totally committed
to the lifestyle. A lot of people

86
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.600
when they see me, they think
I suffer from cerebral palsy, which I

87
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.120
don't. I have cerebral palsy.
Tony Awata is one of the latest additions

88
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:36.560
to the Daily Show News team Tony
started earlier this year. Preacher Lawson first

89
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:41.920
broke out in the comedy scene on
America's Got Talent in twenty seventeen and now

90
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.759
one of the comedians to watch.
Leslie Lao went from working in human resources

91
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.839
at Netflix to appearing on Netflix's Verified
stand Up this past year. Hmm.

92
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.600
I want HR to investigate that.
Did you go through all the resumes of

93
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.319
potential comedians who wanted to appear Unverified
stand Up? I wonder if that was

94
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.000
a proper HR search. I might
report Leslie loud at HR and she's the

95
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.959
HR. Hmm. Nathan McIntosh,
I've been telling you about him lately.

96
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.680
His special up on YouTube is awesome. Check out down with Tech on YouTube.

97
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.600
Saw true. Heo first realized his
comedic sensibilities when his classmates at culinary

98
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.160
school told him his future was not
in the kitchen. Hey, he would

99
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.480
have been perfect on the bear.
He started in comedy in twenty ten,

100
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.879
has most recently appeared on Comedy Central
Stand Up Presents, and has an hour

101
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.000
long special in the can. He's
working to find home for well after this

102
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.560
article, I bet you already have
one. The other big story for today

103
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.120
the Emmys. The nominees are out
for variety talk series. The nominees are

104
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.040
The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Seth Myers, and

105
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.160
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Interesting there people thought John mulaney would be

106
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.800
nominated. He was not all right. Who would I pick out of Daily

107
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.199
Show, Kimmel, Seth Colbert,
I'd pick kim All. I think Best

108
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.879
Comedy. The nominees Matt Barry What
We Do in the Shadows, Larry David

109
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.439
for kerb, Steve Martin for Only
Murders Martin Short for Only Murders, Defarow

110
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.360
Woon a tie for Reservation Dogs,
and Jeremy Allen White for The Bear Love

111
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.439
the Bear. I know this is
a very hack conversation everyone's having, but

112
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.199
my take, the Bear is not
a comedy. Have you watched The Bear?

113
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.199
Season one might have been a comedy, Season two and three not a

114
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.560
comedy. So as awesome as Jeremy
Allen White is, he's not getting my

115
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.759
vote. Let's say out of Barry, Larry David, Steve Martin, Martin

116
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.439
Short. Oh that's tough. I
don't want to give it to Larry David.

117
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.120
I didn't think the last season was
that Strong. Should we give Matt

118
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.720
Berry a Lifetime Achievement Award? We
could do that. Best Actress in a

119
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.399
Comedy Series. Quina Brunson for Abbott, io at A Berry for Non Comedy

120
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.319
The Bear, Selena Gomez for Murders, Maya Rudolph for Loot, Gene Smart

121
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.879
for hacks, Kristen Wigg for Palm
Royal. I'm giving that to Gene Smart

122
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.079
and not thinking for a second about
it. That's the winner there. Outstanding

123
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.439
Comedy Series, Abbot Elementary, The
Bear, which is not a comedy curb

124
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.240
only murders, Palm Royal Reservation dogs. What we do in the Shadows,

125
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.079
huh, I don't want to pick
any of those. I like shadows.

126
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.399
Let's give shadows a victory lab.
I was looking more at the nearer comedy

127
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.040
festival lineup, especially after listening back
to yesterday's show, and it caught my

128
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.480
ear the second time around. They've
already announced a bunch of the Carnegie Halls

129
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.480
shows, so if more names are
coming, they can't put the big names

130
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.759
at Carnegie Hall because they've already used
that venue. So unless there's like I

131
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.680
don't know, Sebastian of Manascalco is
gonna play the Garden or something like that.

132
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.440
Coming a bit of an underwhelming lineup. Oh, I'm so excited about

133
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.799
this next. I'm gonna save this
next thing for tomorrow. I'm so excited

134
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.360
about this. It's about Hank Azaria
all right, but I'll save it because

135
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.639
we're getting a little long here.
Oh so pumped about it though. You

136
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.559
need something to watch, all right? Head to the eight hundred pound Garriilla

137
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.000
YouTube channel at seven pm Central Time. I'm still mad that I didn't ask

138
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.559
those guys what the Central time stuff's
about. Nick Swartzon's make Joke from Face

139
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.039
premieres today. It's seventh Central,
separately on YouTube. Also at seventh Central,

140
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.639
Laura Murley's Belly slapin Fun I love
that title. Eight years in.

141
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.279
It's Laura's debut comedy special. Her
half hour consists mostly of non sequiturs and

142
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:16.320
seemingly random observations in a distinctively disjointed, hilarious style inspired by Mitch Hedberg and

143
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.960
Maria Bamford. That sounds like it's
in my wheelhouse. Maybe I'll channel flip

144
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.159
between that and the RNC tonight,
Hey are you in Cleveland? Summer Slam's

145
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.720
coming to Cleveland? Why are you
mentioning this? Johnny mack Well WWE has

146
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.840
announced a Sammy Zen stand up comedy
slash storytelling event. It is called Sammy

147
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.519
Zan and Friends do Cleveland Friday,
August second at eleven pm. You know

148
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.399
you could go to Cleveland. You
could stay over the next day you hit

149
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.480
the Saturday five pm mass Deacon Mike's
doing the homily. You could tell him

150
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.879
you heard about his preaching here on
Daily Comedy News. You'll make his day.

151
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.799
And that's your comedy news for today. I'm going to do another minute

152
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.360
or two here on another subject,
but that's your comedy news for today.

153
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.679
If you don't want to hear me
talk about commercials, you are dismissed and

154
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.879
I'll see you tomorrow. So every
now and then somebody will post something on

155
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159
the Apple podcast website with a comment
about there are too many commercials on the

156
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.840
show, and I just thought i'd
explain how this all works. First of

157
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.759
all, most transparently, this podcast
is here to make money. This is

158
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.600
how I make a living. How
it works is the ads you're hearing.

159
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.799
They're called dynamically inserted ads or dynamic
ad insertion DAI. Now what happens is

160
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.200
when you download the show, your
phone or device goes Okay, where is

161
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.039
Mike. Mike is in Cleveland,
Let's serve him some ads that are targeting

162
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.759
Cleveland. So, for example,
when election time comes around, Mike in

163
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.279
Cleveland might hear some ads for a
local Cleveland congressional race. Here in New

164
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.159
Jersey, I won't hear them.
Mike in Cleveland might hear some commercials for

165
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.559
a local business here in New Jersey. I won't hear them. So what

166
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.679
happens is the computers are bidding on
the spot. So on this show,

167
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.919
I'll tell you I've got two open
spots before the show, three in the

168
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.279
middle and two on the end.
In those sometimes I internally bid. For

169
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.360
example, this week we're pushing the
artist a Killer's Canvas. I'm running an

170
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.720
in house spot at a thirty dollars
bid so that it wins the spot more

171
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.120
often than not. Now I don't
actually have to pay the thirty dollars because

172
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.240
I'm paying myself the thirty dollars,
you know what I mean. It's a

173
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.639
fake bid in some ways so that
it outbids, say the Ryan seacrestchump,

174
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.440
a casino spot that I get all
the time. So the computer goes,

175
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.480
hey, who's bid the most things? And then whatever has bid the most

176
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.639
dollars goes to the spot. Now, the person in question mentioned that they

177
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.720
were hearing the promo for the TJ
Show a lot. The promo for the

178
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.240
TJ Show is a favor with the
people that I'm in business with. They

179
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.519
asked me if i'd help promote the
TJ Show. I said, sure,

180
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.200
happy to help, and I have
that in as a lower dollar amount.

181
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.919
So this one listener who's frustrated that
whatever combination of device you're using, location

182
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.240
you're using for some reason, the
TJ Show is winning that bid, whereas

183
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.600
here in New Jersey, I haven't
heard the promo for the TJ Show on

184
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:05.120
my own podcast in weeks it's running. It's just being outbid by other things

185
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.240
in my locale. So does that
all make sense? So again, when

186
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.639
you download the show, your phone
goes where are you? And it sees

187
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.279
if anybody wants to serve commercials too
specifically you Anyway, I just felt like

188
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.960
sharing how it works. I have
not increased the commercial load at all unless

189
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.320
I do an hour long show.
When I do an hour long interview on

190
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.480
Saturday. And by the way,
I don't have one this weekend unless Hank

191
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.159
Azaria throws me a lifeline and writes
me back. I can't wait to tell

192
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.440
you about Hank tomorrow. But when
I do an hour one, I throw

193
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.960
in a second break because again,
I'm here to make money, just being

194
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.080
transparent. Hope you understand. Oh, and that's why we're pushing the subscriptions.

195
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.759
Like, I get that you don't
like commercials, but like something's got

196
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.080
to pay the rent. So four
ninety nine gets you the show commercial free.

197
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.399
Help support the show much appreciated.
If you don't want to do that

198
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.960
and you like things quote unquote free, totally get it. But then there's

199
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.559
going to be commercials. Hope that'll
make sense. See you tomorrow.
