Calarogas Shock Media.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Big
shows were announced, including John Mulaney's new stand up tour.
It is called Mister Whatever, and he announced it from
the backseat of his kidnappers car. Tickets for the shows
go on sale today at ten am Local time. The
shows will feature guest appearances from John Stewart, Pete Davidson,
(00:30):
Martin Short, and others. In a promo video teasing and
Mister Whatever, John Mlaney can be seen blindfolded with his
hands pounded in the back of a car as two
men with blurred faces and distorted voices sit beside him.
Let's listen.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Hey, it's me John Mulaney, and I've got great news.
I'm going on tour. My new tour, Mister Whatever, is
coming to a city near you. Pre sale starts April
twenty third with the pre sale code mister and you
can get tickets at John mullaney dot com to see
you at a show. Soda tell me them local time,
(01:04):
you're going to serve? What appreciate local time? What do
you mean local time? No matter where you are in
said I.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Am tonight on Netflix, John has Conan O'Brien, I you
at a berry, Rita Marino, the curator of the Dinosaur
Institute at the National History Museum, and music from Mets
me Etz, not the baseball team that I root for.
I was thinking more about mulaney's show and I don't
want to just pile on. But one of the YouTube
(01:34):
comments got me thinking about it. You know what it is,
I think I finally zer it on this. It's that
the guests don't know what to do. The show is
so chaotic. The guests don't know should they just grab
the reins and do their thing or should they hang
back and let the other guests talk. That's what the
big problem is with the show and the way it's formatted.
I will reiterate my advice. All you have to do
(01:54):
tonight is go my first guest is Conan O'Brien, and
then stop talking to the point where if you didn't
say another word, Conan would just fill the void and
make a bit of it and probably host the show himself. Anyway,
I like John A. Lott, I don't want to just
pile on. Meanwhile, gab Iglacias and Joe Coy announced they
will be headlining the first Dan up performance at Sofi
(02:15):
Stadium this one March twenty first of next year. They're
aim as to sell out to seventy thousand fans. If
they hit that number, it would eclipse the current Guinness
World Record holding comedy audience of sixty seven thousand, seven
hundred and thirty three. You know who has that record wrong.
It is German comedian Mario Barth. He did this at
the Olympus Stadion in Berlin in two thousand and eight.
(02:38):
Gave Iglesias, who was co headlining with Joe Koy, joked
for one day, the two of us will be Taylor Swift,
which is pretty funny because you may remember Taylor Swift
nearly destroyed Joe Coy's career by giving the ice face
to this joke.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
The big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL.
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of
Taylor's sweat.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Apparently, Gabe and Joe are friends. They frequently pop up
at each other's shows, and they decided to do a
co headlining appearance together one night. Only. They're doing their
sets back to back. I wonder who opens and closes there.
I would guess Joe opens for Gabe would be my guests.
Especially in LA they promise special guest surprise moments and
plenty of other hilarious interruptions. Gabe said, I think every
(03:22):
time that we crash each other's shows, we see the
reaction of the fans and people get excited. And the
more we do that, the more we realize we have
a lot of the same fans. We've always want to
do shows together. Yeah, like trying to make it make sense.
We have a date for David Spade's Dandelion. This will
be on Amazon Prime May sixth. In Dandelion, David Spade
tells us about the perils of flying charity auctions and
(03:43):
the evolution of naughty movies. Nudge, Nudge. Kevin Hart never
afraid to work, He's got another gig. This time he'll
be hosting the b ET Awards Monday, June ninth on
b ET. Hart has hosted the awards before, back in
twenty eleven be ET president Scott Mills. For over a decade,
Kevin Hart has been a beloved part of the Beet
family and we couldn't be more excited to have him
(04:04):
return to host the twenty fifth anniversary be ET Awards,
it sounds like Bowen Yang is kind of done with SNL.
The more interviews I read with Bowen, and he's been
doing a lot of them, I think he's checked out.
I think he's laying the groundwork for exiting the show,
and I would totally understand it. To me, I think,
if you're going to get out, now's the time to
get out. In the fiftieth season, I could see fifty
(04:25):
one being a total rebuild unless you just want to
pull a Keenan, like, if you're Jo Justin Chay, just
sit at that news desk for another ten to fifteen
years until Lauren's replacement kicks you out. But you know,
if you're Bowen Yang, yeah it might be time to
move on. Bowen says SNL's just this moving, living, breathing thing,
especially after the fiftieth them seeing what life after the
show is like and how beautiful it is, and how
(04:46):
many people, no matter how long they were at the
show or just with their families and loving their lives
and not letting the years take away any of that
experience for them. He addressed the production schedule, saying, the
new season of SNL, I'm just like, oh right, my
time isn't my own. And I tell my friends, I'm
not really going to see you guy Unti June, and
people that I've gone on a couple solid dates with,
I'm like, hey, it's not for lack of interest. My
time is really slipping away from me and I'm so sorry.
(05:07):
And it's not a youth thing, it's a me thing.
I think one of the best parts about working at
SNL is whenever you're not working on your own because
you're helping somebody else a cast. Remember, I execute on
their vision. So they're coming up to you being like
you need to dress up as a drone, you need
to dress up as a Chinese spy balloon and d
blah blah blah, and you're like, oh, yeah, sure, you
get shot out of a cannon in so many of
these situations that kind of breaks down all your hesitancies
(05:27):
around doing anything that has only served me. I mean,
every now and then a lot of times it'll be
like egg on your face, you make an ass out
of yourself, But I never ever weigh that against the
wonderful things that I've gotten to do. The Webby Awards
have announced the winners. Now the ceremonies not for another
couple of weeks. I don't understand how this works. The
Webby Awards will be hosted by a Lot of Laser
on May twelfth, but they've already announced the winners. Okay.
(05:50):
Marcelo Hernandez from SNL is receiving a special achievement award.
It's the Webby Outstanding Comedic Performance Award. The logic thing
is The award recognizes his sharp, culturally resonant humor on
SNL and his viral impact on the Internet, redefining digital
comedy for a new generation. I mean, I like the guy,
but he kind of does one thing over and over
(06:11):
and over on SNL. Anyway, if you want to give
him an award, go ahead. The Webby's called him one
of the most electrifying new talents in digital comedy. They
singled out Domingo. Yeah, everything he does is a variant
on Domingo. SNL's live show coverage on Instagram Stories scored
two wins for Best Use of Stories, both the Official
(06:33):
Webby and the fan voted People's Voice Trophy. The Daily
Show got three wins of its own, including Best Social
Trophy in the Comedy division and both the traditional Webby
and the People's Voice Award for Best Social in the
News and Politics division. That Tonight's show starring Jimmy Fallon
won Best Use of Vertical Video for its nine x
(06:54):
sixteen content What Are We Doing? Kimmel won Best Social
for a Television Show or Film. People's Voice winner in
that same category went to Colbert. Meanwhile, Sets took home
a Podcasting Webby for the tenth anniversary oral history of
Late Night with Seth Myers. The Audio series Best Individual
Episode from a TV Show or Film, Best Podcast Host
(07:18):
went to Conan O'Brien. John Stewart named the People's Voice
winner for Best Host for the weekly show Bowen Yang
and Matt Rodgers won Best Podcast Comedy for Las Culturistas.
The People's Voice Award for Best co Host went to
The Lonely Island in Seth Myers the Webby Awards Can
You wait? May twelfth, Let's stop off on Gossip Corner.
(07:39):
Friend of the show, Scott Beckett sent this to me
via The Wall Street Journal. A very seemingly complicated kerfluffle
involving Kevin James is so complicated I had to ask
chat gpt to summarize it for me because I didn't
understand it when I read it. According to Chat, Kevin
James has found himself caught up in the bankruptcy proceedings
of National Real Time The Investment Advisors, a real estate
(08:02):
company that filed for Chapter eleven, and as CHET understands things,
the company had sold Kevin James a mansion. However, that
deal has turned into a legal battle. The mansion, initially
purchased by National Realty Investment Advisors for seven point one
million dollars in twenty seventeen, had a history of construction problems.
Before James bought the house, two hundred and fifty grand
(08:23):
was put in escrow for repairs. However, after Kevin James
bought the house for fourteen million dollars. If Chat GPT
is understanding this correctly, he allegedly didn't carry out the
repairs and the escro funds weren't used. An inspector later
estimated the home needed one point four million dollars in repairs,
far more than what was initially anticipated. That's an understatement. Apparently,
(08:44):
Kevin sold the property as is for twelve point seven
million dollars in twenty twenty three, and there's a legal
battle going on and they're fighting over the escro and
I don't know, but that's what's going on on gossip Corner.
Zach Zimmerman has a new special out on YouTube, Surprised Me.
Zach explores the definition of love across evangelical family members,
Romance gone wrong and doughnuts Done right. My kind of
(09:07):
show in this sweet and salty I think that's code
magical stand up special. Surprise Me is also available as
an album, So they're right there. I like it. I'm
pro Grammy then. Via Eugene Merman's Pretty Good Friend's Comedy label,
Zach's also on tour you in New Orleans. Why don't
you stop by the Sports Drink Comedy Club on the
twenty fifth and twenty sixth. That's this weekend, all right.
(09:29):
The Guardian caught one of the shows at the Sydney
Comedy Festival. They really liked Greg Larsen's Greggy. They gave
it four stars out of five. The setup here spoilers
as if you were heading down to Sydney to see
this show. Greg Larson has broke having his card declined
at at McDonald's drive through just weeks before. This year's
Melbourne Festival was a watershed moment for him. He's forty one, This,
(09:50):
he says, is his last festival show. He's done. Gegy
is his swan song, a chaotic journey through his careers,
highs and lows and the decisions that led him to
that drive through. The show is a window into the
reality of working as a comedian, from open mic gigs
to glitzy award nights and the various day jobs that
happen in between. It isn't a glamorous story. The theme
of the show, if there is one, is money and
(10:11):
the question of why Larsen doesn't have any? And I
feel like Johnny Mac, you don't cover Australian comedy festivals enough.
I know, but I have good news for you. The
Brisbane Comedy Festival sixteenth edition kicks off today. Yeah, from
today until May twenty fifth, five weeks, four venues, one
hundred and thirty five acts. Who do you go see
(10:33):
if you're down there? How about Granny Bingo? They are
the nastiest nanas out there? How about the Aboriginal Comedy
All Stars? How about s faced Shakespeare? You know Shakespeare
if you've had a few too many drinks. And there's
future science talks comedy addition, Anti Donna they're not there,
but two of the Anti Donnas are Broden Kelly. He's
(10:53):
probably the most recognizable of the Anti Donnas here in
the States. He's got a solo show and Zachary Roon
t up with Alexi Toleopolis to do some sort of
movie theme show. Some comedian names you may know, especially
if you've listened to the show over the years, Rhese Derby,
Sarah Pesco, Archborker, Ross Noble and Mark Watson. It is
the Brisbane Comedy Festival one of these years. I gotta
(11:15):
you know, I could probably swing it money wise, you know,
especially it would be a legit right off if I
went down there. But you know the whole thing is
I'm married, and you know who's letting the dogs out. Hey,
I'm going to Australia for four weeks to cover comedy
fstls just not gonna fly. I'm going to LA for
three days. That flies. I'm going to Australia. What are
you doing? I don't know. I'm hosting a comedy podcast
(11:36):
and that is your comedy news for today. If you
enjoy the show, tell a friend about it. They might
like it too. If you're on YouTube, smash the bell
and like and all that YouTube stuff. I don't understand.
I'm old YouTube kids. You don't need to make fun
of my slide show. I get it. I'm an old
dude in the basement. We're all slaves the algorithm, so
I gotta make my little slideshow here. What do you
want from me? All right? See tomorrow.
