Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello, I'm Jenny mack who with your daily comedy news
should be a good one on Netflix. Today, it's Andrew
schultz new special. It's called Life, his second for Netflix.
This one filmed at New York's Beacon Theater. We're told
it's his most personal yet. Andrew offers a look at
the hilarious and humbling journey of trying to start a family,
breaking down the chaos of IVF like only he can,
(00:29):
says the presser from pumping out samples, you know what
he means to dodging emotional landmines. It's raw, real, and
will make you grateful. Your swimmers probably work. It's gonna
be a good month on Netflix. They also announced Bert
Kreischer's special Lucky. There's a trailer for that. I've made
some slight edits for language. Let's listen.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
All right, So hands, did you know Julius Caesar was
a real person? Okay, I didn't know that one. We're
in a big tour and they're talking about Julius Caesar
and Cleopatro of fake names. I have my daughter, George,
I go yo, you see a real person, and she
looks at me. This Tart. That's a great question for
(01:08):
the group.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Dad for Kreischer Lucky on Netflix, March eighteenth, Falling up
on the Oscars. By the way, I dropped a bonus
episode yesterday Mike Chisholm and I from the Letterman Podcast.
That's not a proper way to phrase it, you know
what I meant. Mike from the Letterman Podcast, and I
discussed Conan O'Brien for about forty five minutes, So that's
in the feed. Chris Rock showed up at the after party.
(01:31):
He hadn't shown up at one of the Oscar after
parties since the infamous event. Chris Rock now sixty years old.
Wow wow, wow wow Wow. You just picture him as
a young comedian on SNL, don't you wow? Sixty Manedy
Ferre tells us Chris Rock looked polished in a black
tuxedo paired with a white shirt and smart black shoes.
He was spotted talking to David Spade, Mick Jagger, and
(01:53):
Timothy Shalla. May not bad being David Spade being the
fourth most famous person in that group. Kase you're curious,
Wilson not at the party. Chris was asked would you
ever host the Oscars? Again his answer, you never know.
This is what I would say. The most miserable people
on earth are people that can't forgive, and not just people.
You have to forgive yourself sometimes, so hey, you never know.
(02:16):
I live in forgiveness. True love starts at forgiveness. Nikki
Glazer was at the after party. We're told she was
in a sheer black lace gown and matching black heels
on the red carpet. She confessed wasn't easy to make
the look work. She told Entertainment Tonight it was a
different size a couple hours ago because I got fitted
for it a month ago and I've been eating too
much skinny pop. So interesting choice by south By Southwest
(02:39):
to announce their comedy lineup in a very busy weekend
with Shane Gillis hosting Saturday Night Live and the Oscars
kind of taking all the oxygen out of the rooms.

to the Comedy Festival. Alesia Knight's eight c X is

Love it Joe. We'll talk about food with creators of
some of the country's greatest common cuisine and a comic
or two, which reminds me, I'm hungry. I'm recording this
much later than I usually do because I recorded with
Mike Chisholm for The Letterman podcast earlier, and I'm running
about two hours late, and I gotta go have a
(05:33):
sandwich myself. Oh, and Robert Smigel's down there. That means
another week of me trying to book Robert Smigel on
the show and no one getting back to me. Okay,
at least he's like outdoing stuff and not just ignoring me.
I can understand if you're not checking your email while
you're writing the oscars and hanging out at South By Eye,
get it. Just want to promote the benefit, that's all.
Not looking to ask you about uh Conan or tryumph
(05:54):
for Dana Carvey. I mean, I'd love to, but it's
not why I'm looking at you on all right. Also
happening this week the Knockouts Women Comedy Festival that actually
kicked off yesterday, John, Why didn't you tell us about it?
Because the first I heard about it was when I
put the show together on Monday. And I'll remind you
I put this show together every single day. Now, maybe
I'm terrible at it, but you know I do google
(06:14):
the words comedy and comedian and go ten pages deep
on both searches, and this never came up. So maybe
it's the publicist not me. Ponchi today and I'm in
a good mood. The Knockouts Comedy Festival, which I think
is really cool and I would love to talk about it,
has kicked off and runs through Saturday with over fifty shows,
a dozens of venues in and around at New York City.
(06:35):
Comedians include Phoebe Robinson, Lisa Treeger, Emma Willman, Gina Brillan,
as well as plenty of local favorites. The Knockouts Women
Comedy Festival was born out of a desire to celebrate
and amplify the voices of women in comedy and is
actively inclusive to those marginalized and underrepresented in the industry,
including trans, non binary, and gender fluid comedians of all backgrounds.
(06:55):
The co creators put out a statement that said, we
believe it's essential to create spaces where women can sh
showcase their talents, share their perspectives, and support one another
in a traditionally male dominated field. By hosting the festival
during Women's History Month, we honor the achievements of women
throughout history while also highlighting the contributions of contemporary female comedians.
We missed the opening night. They had Knockouts of the week,
(07:16):
two stand up comedy shows featuring ten up and comers.
Sounds like a really good festival. A nice job on that, Yeah,
send me press release. I'll talk about you in case
you missed it. Because I changed the schedule instead of
putting on episode at three oh five am Monday. I
actually put it out Sunday night during the Oscars because
I figured it's done and it's close enough to three
in the morning, let me just hit publish on this.
(07:37):
But in it, I gave a great review to Shane
Gillis's SNL. So that's the Sunday Night episode in the feed.
That should be the episode before the Mike Chisholm episode.
In case you're catching up anyway, Bowen Yang is shutting
down those rumors that he was responsible for Shane Gillis
being fired from SNL. There was a recent Instagram post
promoting the show. Someone named Michelle called Shane a bigger
(07:59):
man to come host f being unfairly ditched, and alleged
that Boone Yang, whom she referred to as a whiny queen,
had bitched him off the show. This Michelle person wrote,
SNL fired him as a hater.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
He's not.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He's very kind and a smart humor and stands up
to bullying. Bow and Yang heard about the comment and
replied and noted that Bowen wrote the sketch you were
a background actor in. It appears the commenter did appear
in a twenty nineteen sketch, Isn't This fun? That sketch
was called Fashion Coward. That sketch features host Emma Stone,
Kate McKinnon, and Adye Bryant. This sketch acts as a
(08:31):
fake commercial for a clothing store that sells bland clothing
for women. Bowen, Yang, Shane Gillis, and Chloe Feynman were
the newly added cast members in twenty eighteen. Shane was
dropped after he came under fire last year. Bowen told Variety,
I think he and I have done enough things in
our careers now to really not have that be the
definitive beginning or the thing that casts a Paul over
everything else that we do going forward and from Late
(08:53):
night er Any excited for Mulaney's late night show, latenighter
dot Com reports the ticket requests are opened through a
website one Iota, so the number one, Iota, number one,
Iota so one, and then Iota. The recordings are eight
consecutive wednesdays starting March twelfth. Wow, that's like next week
in April thirtieth. That's right, the show is out next week.
(09:14):
I have that in the back of my mind. I
have that in the calendar. Absolutely, it's next week. The
tapings list a five thirty pm audience load in time,
with the show scheduled to go live on Netflix at
ten eastern seven West. Conan is getting nothing but good reviews.
I haven't seen anything negative about Conan at all, The
Independent wrote, for the first time in years, the Oscars
seemed to actually enjoy themselves. Sunday ceremony was a celebratory
(09:36):
affair and necessary lick of positivity for a city that
had weathered destructive wildfires in recent weeks. A brilliant turn
by O'Brien and a raft of genuinely very good winners
made this the best Oscars in recent history. My personal
favorite in recent history was Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
That was pretty good for the download numbers. I'm mad
every time somebody doesn't get smacked. Sorry, I'm just telling you.
(09:58):
I got a podcast to do here and did a
good job. Doesn't move the numbers. The Atlantic Road. Conan
O'Brien understood the assignment. The Oscars host was silly and
serious by turns, and delightfully in control of the evening. Yep,
well said as soon as Conan O'Brien strode onto the
Oscar stage, Sunday night. He looked like he belonged there.
He was self deprecating, telling the crowd to sit down
(10:19):
before he continued, even though no one was standing. I'm
still mad at Hulu. Did you catch this? So there
we are. Some of us are watching Hulu joining the Oscars,
and right in the middle of Best Actress nominees, the
screen goes off and we get a thing saying the
telecast has concluded, and it never came back on. I
don't know Hulu. When I watch the Oscars, I kind
of want to see Best Actress and Best Picture. It's
(10:40):
sort of a big deal. You guys screwed the pooch
on that one bad job out of you. That's your
comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell
a friend about it. They might like it too. If
you're within your shot of Robert Smigel, yell out hey
watching you the Daily Comedies podcast, he wants to promote
your charity event. That'd be a cool thing to do.
And if you're a Hulu publicist, I understand why you're
mad at me right now, because I'm kind of mad
(11:01):
at you guys. Do see tomorrow
