00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.759
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack and this is
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.720
the normal daily comedy news for the morning on Thursday,
3
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.039
September twenty fifth. I'll continue to do bonus episodes as
4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:22.800
events warrant. Do these two things go together? A residency?
5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.559
And I'm going to push back on that word hard.
6
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.199
A residency was announced for Las Vegas. It's Nicky Glazer
7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.239
and David Spade. Do those two artists go together? I
8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.000
feel like those are two at least somewhat different audiences. Anyway,
9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.520
this is being spun as a residency. They're going to
10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.640
do three long holiday weekends together at Caesar's in Vegas
11
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.960
in twenty twenty six, But is that a residency? They're
12
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.240
doing two shows on King weekend, two shows Memorial Day
13
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.280
and two shows Labor Day. But is this residency? They're
14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.240
doing January sixteenth and seventeenth, then they're back May twenty
15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.719
second and twenty third, Then they're back September fourth and
16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.439
fifth are two dates and maybe they'll do double shows,
17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.560
so or four shows on a weekend and then there's
18
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.439
nothing there for five months. Is that a residency or
19
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.319
are you just passing through town? Very strange Matt Rife
20
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.560
is very, very upset with Delta Airlines. We learned this
21
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.280
from a British tabloid The Mirror, who says matt Rife
22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.719
was raging with Delta Airlines after claiming to have purchased
23
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.120
a first class seat. However, he was told at the
24
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.879
last moment that a quote random aircraft reason met the
25
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.359
seat was no longer available. On Twitter, matt Rife fumed, Hey,
26
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.760
Delta f view to pieces, I hate your airline a
27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.280
billion points on here. Paid money for a first class
28
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.439
ticket just to lose my seat for a random aircraft reason.
29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.879
Go f yourself. It is unclear to me what actually happened.
30
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.000
In the comments, one person wrote sit with the commoners
31
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.760
and another said time to get that private jet. This
32
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.840
is fun. From NJ dot com, there was a Sebastian
33
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.359
Manuscalco impersonation contest in Atlantic City. Seven or so impersonators
34
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.000
got up. They did Sebastian's mannerisms, his facial expressions, his
35
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.280
hand gestures, his signature line What's wrong with people? The
36
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.159
winner was Mark Maggie or Magi m Aggi and shocker
37
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.960
Guess who showed up. Guess who's in town doing an
38
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.000
actual residency in Atlantic City Sebastian Maniscalco. He said of
39
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.039
Mark the winner, very talented, and I thought I was
40
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.000
looking into a mirror. Mark was decked out in a
41
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.639
black leather jacket, black shirt and black jeans and a
42
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.439
nearly identical haircut. He does, you know, somewhat look like Sebastian,
43
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.719
especially if you see him in the middle of a
44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.520
Sebastian contest. I'm not sure. If I were walking down
45
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.520
the street, I'd be like, is that Sebastian Manasquata? Like
46
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.240
he doesn't look that much like him? But in context sure. Now,
47
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.599
the winner said, I don't have to do an impression.
48
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.719
The scary part is I just act like this. I'm
49
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.319
kind of waiting for my residual check from him. It
50
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.360
was a privilege to be here. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
51
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.560
Now I noticed the winner has I hadn't noticed before.
52
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.199
Sebastian does kind of a distant stare when he's on
53
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.680
stage that I hadn't noticed until now. But the winner,
54
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.319
uh did do that. Now. The material was let's listen
55
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:20.080
all these people here. Impressions. I don't know, impressions, Okay,
56
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.960
I have back up. You look like that on the
57
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.759
purpose you know who is a good impressionist. Is that
58
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.560
James Austin Johnson. He revealed on Instagram that he's editing
59
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.039
a comedy special right now, that's all we know for now.
60
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.479
Joe List has a documentary called Tom Dustin Portrait of
61
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.400
a Comedian that's now available on Punch Up Live. List
62
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.800
was talking to Forbes about the doc but before we
63
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.120
get to that part, he talked about, uh, you know,
64
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.080
the good old days. All those guys, Greg Giraldo, Jim Norton,
65
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.719
Colin Quinn, Bobby Kelly, they were all so funny from
66
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.479
Keith Robinson were all funny first and density of jokes.
67
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.159
Comics that don't have reverence for those guys or know,
68
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.080
those guys I just don't think are as strong. I
69
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.520
think those guys and tough crowd really certainly lay the
70
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.599
foundation for what we all want to do and try
71
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.319
to do. That's the quote unquote New York comedy scene,
72
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.479
as I call it. Got the New York scene, We've
73
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.280
got the Chicago scene, We've got the LA scene. We've
74
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.159
got an Austin scene. Now, we've got an Alt scene.
75
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.439
Now there's an Atlanta scene. There's all kinds of scenes.
76
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.879
But Joe's talking about that New York Gfy attitude style
77
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.000
of comedy. Jim Norton said, the first time he met
78
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.439
Joe List, he slapped my hand away and spit on me.
79
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.079
Being respected is always a great feeling, but honestly, it
80
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.439
won't make you necessary like someone you wouldn't be inclined
81
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.519
to like. People rooted for and respected Joe because he's
82
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.040
completely genuine and unique, and the writing is incredible. He's
83
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.480
a great comic. Him being such a likable person is
84
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.519
just a bonus, Okay. Tom Dustin Portrait of a Comedian
85
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.120
is the Joe List doc. It is a portrait of
86
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.839
veteran comedian and comedy club owner Tom Dustin and his
87
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.720
decades long friendship with Joe List and Tom Dustin's struggles
88
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.759
with depression and alcoholism. Joe List explained, I think Tom
89
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.439
is such a great character. I love him. I think
90
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.160
he's hilarious. I'm interested in comedians that people just don't
91
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.079
know we're working comedy. There's so many people that think
92
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.240
there's fifty comedians in the world, all the ones they know,
93
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.639
and there are so many great comics making a great
94
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.560
living doing stand up living a sort of stand up
95
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.199
life that aren't in New York or LA and never
96
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.120
went there. And Tom is such a great character, and
97
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.480
it seemed like a great person to immortalize a film.
98
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.639
He's got a million stories and he's just a unique
99
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.959
guy in character, and it ended up becoming very much
100
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.879
about our friendship and a relationship. But I just thought
101
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.920
my original idea was to have Tom telling all these
102
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.120
great stories and show him doing stand up and killing
103
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.199
iguanas and running a club. It kind of became more
104
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.639
of that, but you just seemed a perfect character. Mo
105
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.120
A Maayre will have his third Netflix comedy special, this
106
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.920
one called Wild World. It'll be out October twenty eighth.
107
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.240
Mo A Mayer is headed to the Dubai Comedy Festival,
108
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.319
which is not the Riod Comedy Festival or two comedy festivals.
109
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.759
I know this can get confusing if you're not hip
110
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.360
t geography. Dubai is a major city in the United
111
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.560
Arab Emirates. Moa Mair is one of the headlines of
112
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.240
the Dubai Comedy Festival. We'll talk about the Reodd Comedy
113
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.439
Festival tomorrow. Andrew Santino told Variety about filming his recent
114
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.079
special at the Contagious theater in Minneapolis. F already asked
115
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.279
a drinking culture factor into the decision of where to film.
116
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.480
Santino said, obviously, you want the audience to be a
117
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.560
little loose. I just like it for me so I
118
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.399
can go get hammered after the show. No, I like
119
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.439
a city that doesn't take itself seriously when it comes
120
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.399
to going out and having good time. Minneapolis is a
121
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.120
great eating and drinking town with good people. They've gone
122
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.480
through a lot recently, unfortunately, and I'm proud of shot
123
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.319
it there, brid he said. Bill Burr said he prefers
124
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.839
when the audience is hostile. Do you enjoy that? I
125
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.000
love this answer for him, Sinceino he goes, No, Bill
126
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.160
Burr's a lunatic. He's insane. I don't want to get
127
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.720
in a gunfight with the audience. I just wanted to
128
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.680
be comedy. Fans are ready to let loose and disappear
129
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.560
in the room with me. We keep the lights low
130
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.480
so they can laugh at stuff that they shouldn't. Just
131
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.399
have a good time. I'm not up there to battle them,
132
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.439
but Bill's the best at it. That's why he loves it.
133
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.560
Caleb Heren did a lot of press for his special
134
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.240
again I still don't know how that's on HBO Max.
135
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.360
It's a brand misfit. His mission on the special was
136
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.160
to point out life's most absurd contradictions. He said, it
137
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.879
makes you laugh even harder to know that the person
138
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.120
who just said that insane, goofy thing about a thing
139
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.279
a person might do to a man, that a man
140
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.720
might enjoy, that that person also holds the serious opinion
141
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.199
about politics. I think that's how we all moved through
142
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.319
the world. And the balance is the biggest part. The
143
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.120
balance is everything, the balance between talking seriously about what's
144
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.360
going on in the world. I think that's part of
145
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.319
the job. First and foremost, the job is to make
146
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.000
people laugh. But I also feel there's an additional responsibility
147
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.600
that I feel to tell the truth as I see it,
148
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.439
and to talk about what's happening in our world, and
149
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.600
also to share about myself and how I arrived at
150
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.360
the perspective that I have. And I was worried about
151
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.360
this one. I'm glad I guess this is happening. Mark
152
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.600
Marin is scheduled on Celebrity Who Wants to Be a
153
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.920
Millionaire tonight. Now. I was worried it would get bounced
154
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.839
because the host of Celebrity Millionaire is Jimmy Kimmel, and
155
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.639
you know that guy was in all sorts of stress
156
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.160
last week, but I assume that's going to air tonight.
157
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.920
Why I'm excited about this is Mark Marin has announced
158
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.839
that if he wins, his prize money will be donated
159
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.199
to the Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsburgh. The Carolina Tiger
160
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.759
Rescue on Instagram said his generous support will make a
161
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.000
real impact for the Tigers, big cats, and other rescue
162
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.000
in our care. If you're down that way, Caroline at
163
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.920
Tiger Rescue is hosting a watch party at Pittsborough's Havoc
164
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.000
Brewing Company. Maren will be going ahead to head with
165
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.560
Sarah Silverman. Now, Sarah Silverman used to be romantically involved
166
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.560
with Jimmy Kimmel and they seem to be friends. Kimmel's
167
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.199
not gonna cheat and help Sarah Silverman, or maybe he
168
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.519
seriously wants to get back at his ex girlfriend. He's
169
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.000
gonna help Mark Maron. So we'll have to watch Celebrity
170
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.759
who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Now that we're not
171
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.639
boycotting Disney anymore, we can watch the Amandalorian trailer. We
172
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.559
can watch Monday Night football, and we can watch Celebrity
173
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.720
who Wants to Be a Millionaire tonight at eight eastern
174
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.679
without feeling guilty on Gossip Corner, No Song Today, Adam
175
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.080
Sandler and Kevin James visited motor Oil Coffee in Albany,
176
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.759
New York. A local said, I love that they're supporting
177
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.399
local businesses and randomly hanging out at a coffee shop.
178
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.559
Parade tells us that Adam Sandler was walking into a
179
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.039
recent show, somebody asked, what's going on? Sandler said, oh
180
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.039
fat as s word. People found that funny Next Mag
181
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.559
was up at the Toronto Comedy Festival, which is in
182
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.559
the Notes today. Believe it or not, they went to
183
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.600
see James Adomian's Alternative Show with James Adomian. The All
184
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.840
Show used to be hosted by Andy Kindler, and Next
185
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.000
Mag tells us much of a material for the show,
186
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.559
including his Kindler impression, feels like it might be a
187
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.440
bit too much inside Baseball for an average crowd. Luckily,
188
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.200
this crowd understands inside Baseball. With many of the city's
189
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.879
most diehard comedy nerds in attendance, Toronto sketch favorite Chris
190
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.759
Sandiford joined to James as co host. Part Way through
191
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.399
the opening, they engaged in any loose and somewhat disjointed
192
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.480
back and forth on US politics. A Domian switched between
193
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.440
Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders impressions. A Domian did Bernie
194
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.600
Sanders and one of my favorite comedy albums of the
195
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.080
last ten years, The Trump versus Bernie album is fantastic.
196
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.039
Sandiford did a RFK Junior Impression, and then a bunch
197
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.399
of other people whose names that you probably don't know,
198
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.200
came out. But that thing got a really good review.
199
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.879
All right. Johnny Mack remembers to talk about JFL Toronto,
200
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.039
Look at Me seven o'clock, Todd Barret, Sorry, love it already?
201
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.919
Also at seven, two Dykes and a Mic going hog
202
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:09.159
wild Alistair Ogden at seven, Chloe Radcliffe nine o'clock, and
203
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.480
then a couple of late shows. So if I were there, absolutely,
204
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.480
Todd Barry and then I guess we go see Chloe.
205
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.159
The Omaha Comedy Festival is back. It's its thirteenth year.
206
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.039

210
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.440
which is the headquarters for the festival, and says it's
211
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.399
a chance for people to see big names alongside performers
212
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.799
who are just starting to break through. OMAHA audiences will
213
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.039
have the opportunity to say I saw them here first
214
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.120
