Kalaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Let's start with Tony Hinchcliff again, sourcing here from coutahoulic
ITR Wrestling and a fight ful select but apparently backstage
at WWE Raw the other night, Tony Hinchcliff's appearance came
across as a dud. Some fans did not think Tony
(00:29):
was funny during his appearance. I thought he was okay.
Some also didn't like the one joke that suggested that
the only things differ than announcer Michael Cole was big
E's neck. Big E has not wrestled since suffering a
broken neck in March of twenty twenty two. Big E
addressed the joke during WWE's Raw recap and said, I
(00:50):
guess at might big age of thirty nine years old,
people will say what they want about you. The opin
interview has nothing to do with me. It's not my business. Looks.
Say what you want. He was given a mic, he
was given opportunity how they want to feel. There's a
lot of discourse oftentimes as a public figure, people say
things about you, whether the joke or not, and that's
their right. And I think the one thing is I'm
on here. It was set on the show. I'm supposed
to talk, you know, especially when things are mentioned about me,
(01:11):
I should have an opinion about them. It's just tiring
going to have to weigh in on everyone's opinion or
whatever they say. Look, I'm not hurt. I'm good. I
want the discourse to be had without me. Honestly, I
have no desire to weigh in on this. I didn't
sign up for this. It wasn't aware of this. He
did what he wanted to do. People signed off on.
It has nothing to do with me, truly. MSNBC's headline
Netflix is killed Tony Special proofs the entertainment manisphere lives on.
(01:34):
They write in Trump's America, neither getting canceled nor refusing
to say you're sorry amounts to career suicide. It might
even land you a three show deal with Netflix. Oh
is this thing? Only three shows? And one's already gone
and they already played the Shane Gillis card I don't
who knows? Actually, let me go on. I'll see how
the show is doing. Got the Netflix Top ten. My
(01:54):
source here is at netflix dot com. As I record
this on Wednesday at eleven twenty four am Eastern Gone Girls,
Adolescence Love on the Spectrum, Paul's The Medical Show, which
is awful, The Residence, which is fun. W W E
RAW at six Miss Rachel Devil May Care, Million Dollar Secret,
Survival of the Thickest, So Kill Tony not up there
(02:16):
and MSNBC rights. To my mind, the comedy was mostly predictable, derivative,
and formulaic, but that misses the point exactly. I'm glad.
He added that that misses the point because I was
going to hit you with that as an artistic endeavor.
Kill Tony is not cutting edge, but it is culturally
irrelevant and massively so. Monday Night was definitely for the boys.
Killer Be Killed featured lots of men, men who were
(02:38):
happy to be in the company of other men as
they ridiculed other men. Of the twenty or so comics
who partook and Killer Be Killed, nineteen of them were
dudes skipping ahead. Then there's the show's manly visual aesthetic.
The set is dark, it is lined with beefy, shiny
bald guys and others in weird hats. There's a live
man whose musicians perplexingly crack up at every joke. The
(02:59):
audience stoked prime for an endless cavalcade of hot man
on man smackdowns. The episode in parts of basic bro
code fellas, crave, competition, and combat. These stand ups who
do well are sometimes invited back. There was also a
Mexican drum off, a killed Tony tradition apparently Yes Yes,
MSNBC rights. At some point in the episode, Hinchcliffe eventually
noticed that few women were on his Netflix special. In
(03:21):
an attempt to diversify the proceedings, he forsook the bucket
and called one amateur female comic to the stage. Even
though her minute was unremarkable, He later invited her to
perform at his Madison Square Garden show this August. I
was surprised that Gillis slash Trump didn't dub him Tony
DEI Hinchcliff in response. In all, it was a very
manly night. Okay. Newsweek wrote about kill Tony. They saw
(03:44):
what the civilians are saying, and the civilians are echoing
what I forgot to put in yesterday and had to
have the AI voice once I realized I forgot to
make the point. Joe Rogan was there for two hours,
and I'm sure he spoke at some point, but he
sure wasn't participating. On the kill Tony subreddit, one user wrote,
Joe Rogan is the worst guess ever why they keep
bringing him on? Somebody replied, the guy owns the place.
(04:08):
He's gonna be there if Netflix is going to come
out to film the episode. Someone else said, like, I
get it, he kind of has to be there if
he owns the club, and you know it's on Netflix,
But come on, at least engage more. I feel like
he's like that on every episode he's a guest on.
I feel like you should have definitely engaged more. No,
it's gonna air on Netflix. I feel like the whole
Netflix show was unauthentic. I spoke my pec yesterday in
case you missed it. I think the show works better
(04:28):
for me as an audio podcast. I can listen to
a double speed and hit skip six times in a
row and something's not working. I also feel that the
first ten minutes was way below par, and they put
a roadblock to the casuals. The casuals are never going
to make it to minute eleven. When Shane Gillis's Trump
came out, David Spade will have a new special for
Amazon out May sixth. It's called Dandelion. In Dandelion, David
(04:51):
Spade takes on the pearls of flying charity auctions, the
evolution of porn, and more. They put out a trailer
and here are the jokes David's bade chose to share.
How's that for a lead?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I was eight years old. I almost got kidnapped. I'll
make it funny. I came out here blonde hair, look
like exactly mcaulay culgan and I was kind of tan.
I was like shorts. I mean it was almost in trapman.
I'm a bit of a dandelion. I don't know if
you can tell. I looked tough on TV, but these
quads are deceiving.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Down ladies. Okay, that's Dandelion May sixth on Amazon. Put
it on your calendar. Status tells the story of Rob
Schneider paying a visit to the Los Angeles Times headquarters
accompanied by Cheryl Hines. Schneider was active talk with the
owner of the La Times about launching a conservative version
(05:43):
of the view. He envisioned it as a talk show
with a rotating panel of host that would appeal to
the mega crowd and would be filmed live in front
of a studio audience. Status says the talks fell apart
for one big reason. In particular, Schneider proposed a budget
of fourteen million dollars to pretty use the show. The
two sides could not agree on a budget. Fourteen million
(06:04):
dollars is excessive. Seth Myers and John Oliver are extending
their residency at New York's Beacon Theater. They'll be there
through the end of twenty twenty five. You can go
see them July twenty seven, September twenty one, October twenty sixth,
November twenty third, or December fourteenth. If you want to
see them in August, you are currently out of luck.
Each performer does forty five to fifty minutes of stand up,
(06:24):
and then they come on stage together to take questions
from the audience. Seth. If somebody actually offers you that
SNL gig, take it. Twelve thirty talk shows are dying.
Speaking of twelve thirty talk shows today in New York
City conversations David Letterman with Paul Schaeffer. Yeah, they're at
the Perlman Performing Arts Center. The official description Late Night
(06:45):
Legend David Letterman brings his trademark dry humor, irreverence and
sincere curiosity back to Pack NYC for conversation with his
longtime friend and former music director Paul Schaeffer. You know
we could film this, guys. I'm just saying, Okay, let's
see what's happening at the comedy festivals tonight at the
Rhyme and Nicki Glazer there again, seven o'clock, Jared Freed
(07:08):
at the labt Zeni's at seven at main Zanies. Right
now with John Goblcan. I'm not familiar with John. I
don't recall ever seeing the name before you guys can
shout at your phone all you want and just being honest.
Apparently Right now with John GOBLICHN is the official podcast
from necro Goblet Cohn singer John Goblcan. He interviews his
(07:29):
famous friends from comedy, music and entertainment. Seems he dresses
up as a goblin and four weeks ago had Dan
Soder and that video has one hundred and thirteen thousand views. Hey,
you learn something new every day hosting this podcast. Huh.
Jared Freed is another show at nine point fifteen, and
that's it for tonight. All right. If we were in Nashville,
did we see Nikki yet? I guess we'd go see
Nicky in uh, I don't know, go get some drinks
(07:52):
again for the late show at moontow or tonight seven
o'clock paul Is Shore, nine thirty, the not so Cancel Disease.
I'm sorry nine Trevor Wilson. So I had said last

guess would go see AZ's tonight for the late show
and Paulie not many other choices. The Trevor's City Comedy
Festival is up and running tonight through the weekend. The
(08:14):
big show there is at seven o'clock Josh Blue at
the City Opera House. So if you gave me a
transporter machine and you were like, hey, John, we're gonna
go see some comedy. Should we go to Nashville, Trevors
City or moontower? Out of all the things I've talked about,
and picking Josh Blue at Trevor's City Comedy Festival, good lineup,
though some other headliners scheduled. According to the press release,
(08:36):
Mark Maren J. Farrow, Natasha Laziro and a bunch of
others will take a look at that. Over the next
few days, I did hear from Dan Bubletz Junior, who
tells me he's working on the Melbourne Florida National Comedy
Festival twenty twenty six. We were texting. Yesterday. I went
to the brand new Bjay's wholesale club that just opened
near my house and I was out there shopping and
(08:57):
I was in the car and I got a text.
Wife's like, who's Dan Boobletz. And I'm like, he's a comedian.
He Litsen's show and he has your number. I'm like, yeah,
he has my number. We text sometimes anyway. So Boobletz
is working on this thing. I have asked him to
book Adam Sandler as the headliner. I will keep you
guys posted Melbourne National Comedy Festival this time next year
in Melbourne, Florida. We are working on this. It is
(09:18):
definitely going to happen. No chance that this is a bit.
We are doing this. The folks at the Age went
to see Randy Adiva's show Killer from Manila this at
the Melbourne Australia International Comedy Festival. They give it four
and a half stars out of five. Killer from Manilla
is about Randy being proud of his rich Filipino origins
his identity as an Asian Australian being under society's Western microscope.
(09:41):
Guilty if they gat too much. A self confessed knowledgeable
movie buff and a super diehard sports fan. We're taken
through several what if scenarios movie scenes and we meet
Randy's favorite celebrities that he looks up to. Sounds like
a fun show. Also, the Age went to see Hannah
Camillary that show what I'm going for in the Age
tells us only Hannah could have an audience eating out
(10:03):
of the palm of her hands just by mining two fingers.
Falling in love Sammy Jay Is The show is called
the Kangaroo Effect. In The Kangaroo Effect, Sammy j essentially
brings the Charlie da meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
It's a life clawing through an archive of VHS tapes
and blurry polaroids to set out a series of suspects
that are to blame for him turning up at a
(10:24):
house party in a kangaroo onesie. That's fun. They gave
that one four stars. Luke McGregor's show Okay Wow, is
a fifty five minute show, well paced through seemingly random
thoughts with just the right amounts of audience chit chat.
Topics include flat earther ADHD diagnosis, step kids, the shape
of his appendage, and finding the love of his life.
(10:46):
The age gave Luke McGregor OK Wow four stars. Shanna
Christmas will have a new special out on Amazon and
YouTube May twentieth, and as an album album on Comedy
Dynamics May twenty third. You know how I know this?
Shanna Christmas publicist sent it to me. See if you
work for Hulu and you send me something, I'll read it.
Shot live in an intimate jazz club in the heart
(11:08):
of downtown Las Vegas, the special captures Shanna Christmas doing
what she does best, making people laugh so hard they
forget they're in a dark room with strangers. There is
a spoiler here. I don't want to tell you what
it is, but Shanna says, I wanted to make a
special that it felt like me. Loud, fast, honest, funny,
but also full of real life because comedy is how
I take my power back. There's a for YOUA and
(11:29):
I want people to feel theirs too. Highly intelligent YouTube,
and Amazon May twentieth, all remind you as we get
a little closer. And that is your comedy news for today,
See tomorrow.
