Caloroga Shark Media Clue.

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.279
I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. I gotta

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.679
tell you, I'm kind of annoyed with Wanda Sykes. She

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.920
just made this comment that really annoyed me. Here's the comment.

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.039
Hey, first, let's give it up for Nikki Glazer, right now,

6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.280
haw Come on, so and shout out to the Golden

7
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.200
Globe for having me, because you know this, some people

8
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.640
pissed off that a queen black woman is up here

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.960
doing the job of two mediocre white guys.

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.600
Now here's my question for Wanda Sykes. Who are the

11
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.359
two mediocre white guys that you refer to? Is that

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.920
a shot at the other presenters, because here's the list

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.759
of the presenters. I didn't go back and fact checked it,

14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.399
but here's who they released before the Golden Globes aired.

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.280
Your presenters, which could include two mediocre white guys, were

16
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.960
Amanda Ceifred Annada, Armis Ayoade, every Charlie. Which are the

17
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.359
two mediocre white guys so far? Is it Chris Pine,

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.799
Colma Domingo, Connor, Story, Dakota Fanning, Dave Franco, Diane Lane,

19
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.959
George Clooney, Hailey Steinfeld, Hudson Williams, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Gordner,

20
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.400
Joe Keary, Judd Appatol, Julia Roberts, Justin Hartley, Catherine han Keegan,

21
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.760
Michael Key, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Hart, Keira Sedgwick, Lalisa Mannibal,

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.840
Luke Grimes, Mcauleay Culkin, Marland Wayans, Melissa McCarthy, Milaicunis, Miley Cyrus,

23
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.719
Middie Driver, Orlando Bloom, Pamela Anderson, Pianca Choper, Jonas, Queen Latifa,

24
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.439
Regina Hall, Sean Hayes, Snoop Dogg, Wanda Sykes, will Arnett,

25
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.280
Zoe Kravitz. So, Wanda Sykes, I'm not sure who you

26
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.640
think is mad. I was watching live and I went, oh,

27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.480
there's Wanda Sykes. That was the end of my thought process.

28
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.359
I wasn't like, oh, my goodness, I can't believe Wanda

29
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.920
Sykes is up there. There should be two mediocre white

30
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.640
guys presenting, So I have no patience for her comment.

31
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.000
So then I thought, is that a shot at who

32
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.799
hosts the awards? Maybe she thinks mediocre white guy's host

33
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.680
award shows. Well, clearly last night's host was not a

34
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.120
mediocre white guy. It was Nicky Glazer, previous host Joe Coy,

35
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.759
Jrod Carmichael, Tina Fe and Amy Poehler, Ricky Gervais. You

36
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.520
have to go back to twenty nineteen. Are you mad

37
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.599
about six years ago? Andy Samberg and Sandra O twenty seventeen,

38
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.759
Seth Myers twenty sixteen, Jimmy Fallon twenty fifteen, Ricky Gervas

39
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.639
before Ricky, Tina and Amy three times, Ricky three times.

40
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.000
Maybe she meant the Academy Awards hosted in twenty twenty

41
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.759
five by Conan O'Brien, He's not mediocre. He is a

42
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.560
white guy, Jimmy Kimmel for two years. Maybe she doesn't

43
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.159
like Jimmy Kimmel in twenty twenty two. Maybe she thought

44
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.599
the hosts were terrible. I did. They were Amy Schumer,

45
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.120
Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes before that trio Jimmy Kimmel

46
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.680
and before that Chris Rock. Maybe she meant the Emmys.

47
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.719
Maybe she meant twenty twenty five host at Nate Bergetzi,

48
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.520
he was not good. Maybe she meant twenty twenty four's

49
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.520
Eugene Levy and Dan Levy. Now there that that could

50
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.919
be who she meant before with that pair, Anthony Anderson,

51
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.280
Keenan Thompson, Cedric the Entertainer, Jimmy Kimmel, Nobody, Pandemic, Michael

52
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.800
Chay and Colin Jost before that Colbert and Kimmel. Maybe

53
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.120
she met the Grammys hosted the last five years, but

54
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.080
Trevor Noah before that, Alicia Keys, two years of James

55
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.400
Cordon and ll Coolja in twenty sixteen. So, Wanda, I'm

56
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.080
not sure who you mean. By the way, Grammy's coming up.

57
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.680
They have yet to announce Trevor Noah as the host. Now.

58
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.360
They did the same thing last year. They were very

59
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.280
slow to announce Trevor Noah, and I'd be surprised if

60
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.360
he's not returning with that has not been announced yet.

61
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.280
Then she took a shot at Bill Maher.

62
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.680
I'm presenting the Award for Stand Up Comedy on Television,

63
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.319
but first I want to give them some love. Bill Maher,

64
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.319
you give us so much, but I will love a

65
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:47.919
little less.

66
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.560
She did have a funny comment about Kevin Hart and money.

67
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.439
I agree with this.

68
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.520
Kevin Harve w Is Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, you know I

69
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.639
love you. And the thing is, Kevin is the richest

70
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.960
guy in this category, and yet I know he wants

71
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.719
it the most. You're a true American, Kevin.

72
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.479
And then the shot at Ricky Gervas that I told

73
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.599
you about in yesterday's episode.

74
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.639
Ricky Gervas, I love you for not being here. No,

75
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.120
I love you, Ricky Buck. But because if you win,

76
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.800
I get to accept the ward on your behalf, and

77
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:32.199
you're gonna thank God and the trans community, and the

78
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.600
Golden Globe goes to uh Tayana.

79
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.000
Can I borrow your speech, Ricky Gervais because.

80
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.399
He would like to thank God.

81
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.759
And the trans community. Ricky did not react to Wanda's

82
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.519
comments on social media. He did tweet fing one period

83
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.519
again period. Nikki Glazer generally well received as your host

84
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.399
of the Golden Globes. I think it makes sense to

85
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.199
bring her back next year. I think she was maybe

86
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.279
a little too safe this year. Weird thing to say

87
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.680
about Nicki Glazer, right, and you can see that the

88
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.759
Hollywood crowd is starting to accept her as one of

89
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.759
their own. Nicki might want to take a step back

90
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.480
to the right and be a little leedgier next year,

91
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.560
assuming she is back. Leading up to the Globe, she

92
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.040
was profiled by Parade Magazine. They asked her to do

93
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.199
celebrities generally handle their roast well? Nicki said, oh yeah,

94
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.399
if you sign up for a roast, you know what

95
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.720
you're getting into. And even if they haven't, I haven't

96
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.360
had any backlash from any of them. But you know,

97
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.920
I always thought if they get upset about some of

98
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.480
these jokes, that's their fault because there is a precedent.

99
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.360
After the Tom Brady roast, she said she spiraled because

100
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.800
I worried that I had to deliver that kind of

101
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.079
performance every time, like the bar was too high. And

102
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.040
then even after the Globes last year, John Stewart tweeted

103
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.920
something like, Nicki Glazer is very good at this Tina

104
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.279
I fa and Amy Poehler wrote me too. Those messages

105
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.040
really resonated with me, and I guess I had to

106
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.079
believe them. Good answer here. They were curious if she's

107
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.319
still in competition with other comedians, especially female comedians. Her answer, yes,

108
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.040
I never thought I was a competitive person. I never

109
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.319
really did sports. I just didn't really care about board games,

110
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.920
but you know, I like winning things. As far as

111
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.360
female competition, I hate to say it, but it is true.

112
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.439
Like people always say, there's enough space for all of us.

113
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.600
But the industry is built so there's one leading woman

114
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.079
per movie. If you look at comedy shows around la

115
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.079
there's one or two women and eight guys. So to

116
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.279
say I'm always in competition with everyone and not just

117
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.040
women would be false. It's just math. But I don't

118
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:19.639
want to hold women back by any means. But I

119
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.279
do have jealousy sometimes, and do I feel competitive against

120
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.680
other women. You can't not wow, Adam Sandler. He was robbed.

121
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.639
He should have won Best Supporting Actor or something like that.

122
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.519
We got a reward, Adam Sandler for doing good drama.

123
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.519
Adam did over the weekend receive the Career Achievement Award

124
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.279
at the AARPS Movies for Grown Up Awards. Adam Sandler,

125
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.519
being that it was the AARP's got real about getting old,

126
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.800
Sandler said, a lot of people said to me, Sandman,

127
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.199
getting a double ARP award means that you're old. Now,

128
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.000
it's what I say. It's not because of this award.

129
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.839
I've got ten other reasons that you know I'm old,

130
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.959
he said. The font on my phone is so big

131
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.600
that my text can be read by anybody with a

132
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.000
window seat on a Delta flight. I feel you, My

133
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.720
wife was asking me to read something. I'm like, I

134
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.720
can't read this font anymore. It's so bad, Sandler said

135
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.839
when I received the Academy Awards screeners. Even though he

136
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.920
pressed play on forty four different movies, I can only

137
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.959
stay awake for combined total of eight minutes. For all

138
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.000
of you who are getting all the accolades, I must say,

139
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.360
I love the first thirty seconds for your work. Sounds

140
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.959
like me. Sandlor and I could be friends. We have

141
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
a lot in common. Right now, I'm wearing sweatpants and

142
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.360
a sweatshirt. We could go clothes shopping together and watch sports.

143
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.560
Sandler said. I promised to everyone here tonight I will

144
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.199
make at least fifty more movies before I'm dead, and

145
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.519
at least twenty five of them will be good. So

146
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.720
it sounds like he's planning on making twenty five more

147
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.680
dramatic films Hanka's Area, stop by Neil Brennan's show. He

148
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.000
did Trump quotes as voiced by Simpson's characters. I've slightly

149
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.720
edited this for pacing, and there's what's called peak distortion

150
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.319
in the audio. That means the audio source was a

151
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.240
little too hot into the recorder. Hot means loud, so

152
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.480
you're gonna hear some fuzzy audio here at points, but

153
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.319
here's Hanka's area and Neil bri and Inns Blocks podcast.

154
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.480
We're going to get the drug prices down, not thirty percent,

155
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.720
not forty percent, which would be great, not fifty percent

156
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.120
of sixty percent of that. We're going to get them

157
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.199
down a thousand percent, six hundred percent, five hundred percent,

158
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.560
fifteen hundred percent, numbers that are not even thought to

159
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:23.040
be achievable. This is pretty satisfying, Ah Professor Frank, my

160
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:27.639
personal favorite, nuclear is so powerful. My uncle explained that

161
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.399
to me many many years ago. The power that was

162
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.600
that was thirty five years ago. Kirk van Howden, I

163
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.039
know a lot about grass because I own a lot

164
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.039
of golf courses, and if you don't have good grass,

165
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.480
ye're not in business very long.

166
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.440
Radar Online saying Lorne Michaels is getting close to being

167
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.279
pushed aside and a power struggles exploding a thirty rock.

168
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.879
A source tells Radar Online, which tends to be a

169
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.720
little gossip. B doesn't mean they're wrong, but they tend

170
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.480
to be gossip. By Tina fay Is, the front runners

171
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.480
to succeed lorn, but a lot of key players can't

172
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.840
stand her and are going to raise hell if she's

173
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.960
hired to do the job. And I wonder who those

174
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.639
key players are, because cast wise, I'm not sure there's

175
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.480
anyone right now that if they left, you'd be like, oh,

176
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.000
that's a major loss. I mean, there's Josein Chay, but

177
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.840
they've been at the desk a long time and we're

178
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.639
closer to the end of the beginning there unless they

179
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.360
pull a Keenan and just host week an update for

180
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.080
thirty years. But there's no Bowen Yang right now. Bowen's

181
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.519
already out the door. So I'm not sure who you

182
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.840
would be sad about losing, unless there's some assistant producer

183
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.840
or a head writer that I'm not familiar with, and

184
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.240
maybe that's who they meet. By key players, the source

185
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.440
claims insecure men on the cast and in the writer's

186
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.879
room just wouldn't feel as comfortable reporting to Tina Fey,

187
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.120
who's fifty five, as they are reporting to Lorne Michaels.

188
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.759
Michael Chay says Lauren is irreplaceable. He wasn't speaking about

189
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.679
Tina here, but he said, I don't know. I don't

190
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.200
know how you do that job and not be Lauren.

191
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.320
It'd be strange to me. It's like imagine being the

192
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.320
stepfather of a fifty year old. The source says, people

193
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.559
like Seth Myers and Colin Joseph been mentioned. Seth's talk

194
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.399
show has made the same building as SNL and there's

195
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.240
a lot of creative overlap with writers, directors, and crew. Meanwhile,

196
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.559
Colin is closing in on twenty years with SNL. He's

197
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.240
given the series the best years of his life and

198
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.919
there should be some reward for that. The source warned.

199
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.320
Any transition isn't going to happen without conflict. SNL is

200
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.960
in turmoil. Wow, bring it on, I need something to

201
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.120
talk about. I think the big thing, never mind just

202
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.679
flying the ship, flying the show week tweek, The big

203
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.759
thing is Lauren's power base and his ability to call

204
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.039
a listers in Like is Paul McCartney answering the phone

205
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.639
for Tina Fey or Seth Myers or Colin Jost or

206
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.759
candidate four. I don't know, but you don't get that

207
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.000
without doing the job for several years, so it's kind

208
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.480
of catch twenty two. I think Lauren should have gotten

209
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.159
out after SNL fifty could have taken that victory lap

210
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.000
nice even number to get out on Big Celebration Mike

211
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.600
Season fifty one. Someone Else's problem, We'll see. Sarah Sherman

212
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.600
was on Mike Berbigley's podcast for Biggs asked Sarah who

213
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.840
she's most jealous of. Sarah said, I'm jealous of a

214
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.320
couple of people. I'm jealous of Ashley Padiam, a coworker

215
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.840
and friend. She calls Ashley SNL's breakout star. I've seen

216
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.679
a few people say that I'm not seeing that yet

217
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.679
as a guy sitting on the couch. But okay, Sarah said,

218
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.840
she just writes the perfect sketches. She's amazing. Are you

219
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.159

vote for Bert, there's already a vote for Sandler. If

231
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.600
you got a chance to listen to the Good One

232
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.919
podcast last week with Chris Gethard of Vulture has Paul

233
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.399
most of the quotes. If you just want to read it,

234
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.000
I encourage you to listen to it. I thought it

235
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.440
was it's going to be one of the best podcasts

236
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.240
of the year. And I know it's early, but this

237
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.399
will be there at the end. Gethart said, the game

238
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.840
comedy is feeling progressively more rigged. Now. Comedy is being

239
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.279
backed into a corner that's not good for artists. We're

240
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.440
being tricked into feeding a system that's going to do

241
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.879
what Spotify did to musicians. Your biggest thing ever, disposable

242
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.320
TikTok doesn't matter. If you've got five million views next week,

243
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.120
they won't remember it. You can be on some of

244
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.360
the biggest platforms in the world and not make money.

245
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.960
You can get a special on Netflix, but all the

246
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.240
production costs come out of your end. Comic may have

247
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.159
worked on that special for five to ten years, and

248
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:38.639
very often they're not even making two months of rent

249
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.759
and expenses from it. Gethard said, they're starting to become

250
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.120
a dialogue and comedy of or we participating a thing

251
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.159
that's not even working. I've had a couple of clips

252
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.840
bust out. You don't see ticket sales from those. Yeah,

253
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.480
that's I've been loud about this in the podcasting industry.

254
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.799
Everybody's like YouTube, YouTube, YouTube, and I get it, and

255
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.960
Discovery and the algorithm and all that, but the other

256
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.360
day that none of that pays the mortgage. You know

257
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.279
what pays the mortgage doing an audio podcast in your

258
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.840
basement and running those commercials and making football picks and

259
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.039
getting paid to make football picks. So that's what pays,

260
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.679
you know. The YouTube stuff, Yeah, all right, Discovery, that's nice,

261
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.559
but the money's not there. And TikTok clips, the money's

262
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.159
not there. Gethard said, I've started to hear this from

263
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.399
other artists too. People who want to consume comedy in

264
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.440
forty five to ninety seconds at a time on their

265
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.480
phone don't want to go out and sit through a

266
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.799
thing for an hour. He went on to say, in

267
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.840
so many ways envious of the options at the hands

268
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.039
of young creators. You don't have to wait for gatekeepers.

269
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.080
You don't have to audition for a house team at UCB,

270
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.600
or wait for a call from jfl or the Aspen

271
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:40.080
Comedy Festival. Book at Ariel Elias, good joke writer, charming persona.

272
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.279
How does the world know her? Because I'm maniac through

273
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.600
an effing full beer at her head. That's why we

274
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.720
know an artist. That's a great point, that is why

275
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.879
we know her. I highly encourage you to seek out

276
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.679
that podcast episode, The Good One Podcast. Great job there, folks.

277
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.519
Nick Kroll is getting a new Netflix comedy series. It's

278
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.639
called eight hundred Percent. He's joined by cast members I Am Richardson,

279
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.840
Jason Manzukis, and Vanessa Bayer. They all play podcasters. That's

280
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:09.000
gonna be really good. Gabriel Iglecias just back from the

281
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.919
Red Comedy Festival. He's aimed to deal with Comedy Dynamics

282
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.279
for the distribution of some of his most iconic specials. Now,

283
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.360
I don't understand what is happening here. Under the deal,

284
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:23.120
Comedy Dynamics will distribute original and animated versions of Gabriel

285
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.559
Iglesias Hot and Fluffy I'm not Fat, I'm Fluffy and

286
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.799
Aloha Fluffy two various platforms. So those are re releases,

287
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.879
but animated versions, Like, so what are we doing? And

288
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:36.799
tig Nataro did this already, she had us a special

289
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.679
called drawn, I believe. So maybe he didn't shoot some

290
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.799
of those as video and they're gonna animate it. I

291
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.279
don't know, I'm confused. Gabe dropped by Jay Leno's garage.

292
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.960
So here you have Jay Leno, the worst person who

293
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.320
ever lived, and Gabe just back from the Reod Comedy Festival,

294
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.399
and they teamed up. Gabe was showing off his iraq Z.

295
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.720
As the story goes about this iraq Z, it was

296
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.559
originally sold by dealership in Ohio and purchased from a

297
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.679
collector last year, then bought by Gabriel Iglesias. Apparently it's

298
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.559
a very low mileage iroxy, like four hundred miles or so.

299
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.639
So if you want to check that out, Jay Leno's garage,

300
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.159
and that is your comedy news for today. All right,

301
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.919
I'll see tomorrow
