Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media at the home Johnny Mack with your
Daily Comedy News. Sam Morrell sold the story to WAMC
about Dave Attell, who's one of Sam's favorite comics ever,
if not his favorite comic of all time. Sam remembers
opening for a Tell a long time ago at Terrytown
(00:25):
Music Hall and Dave would bring me out on stage.
You know, it's so intimidate and go out there and
riffle them at the end, because you literally feel like
you're up there with Obi Wan Kenobi. Like nothing he
say is going to be as good. But I remember
we're driving back in the car, like he's the only
one who doesn't realize he's great, Like every comic thinks
he's great, and obviously so many fans. But we're driving
a car back and he was like, I'm a hack.
I suck And I was like, dude, we all think
you're the best, and he goes, well, I'm better than
(00:45):
you guys. The PGA Tour Instagram account has been sharing
photos and videos of Nate Brigetzi out on the golf course.
Nate said, this is how the pros do it. They
unpackaged the glove on the first tee, I just bought
these gloves this morning. He gave the empty glove package
to Rory McElroy and asked Rory to hold my trash.
Nate teed up for the first soult and said it
(01:07):
should be said that I was asleep twenty minutes ago.
In the next video, Nate asked Rory McElroy what times
you get down here. Rory says five forty five am.
Warm went off at five. Nate couldn't believe it and said, oh,
but tomorrow you have like a one pm. Rory said, yeah,
late tea time. Yeah, Nate could have done a late
tea time today, but no, he chose with me. He goes,
let's do seven ten am. I was like, why can't
I come on with you tomorrow to the tournament at Won.
(01:28):
So they'd see off. They hedge their balls and it
turns out Nate was in the bunker. Nate says, I'll
be honest with you, that one might not be mine.
It says Nate Brighetzi, but there could have been another.
Nate hits the ball again. It winds up to the
next bunker and he chokes him. Keeping the fairwayes pristine
for the tournament tomorrow. The filmer asked Nate how many
warm up swings did you have? Nate said, I mean
you saw the first swing, so that was it. There's
(01:49):
never a warm up, to be honest. Terry grow said
that great interview with Bill Burr last week. Bill talked
about his hair and said, the greatest thing I ever
had at me. So I went ball for my acting
career because then I shaved my head. Look a psycho
idiot that I am back in the day when I
actually had hair. You know, Hollywood, you know they talk
about you just racism is sexism. It goes beyond that.
Like they even divide up redheads. They were like rules
about redheads. I was in the redhead drawer. Okay, I
(02:11):
was in the Opie Ron Howard Howdy duty drawer, Brooks Laine.
I didn't get the gun, I didn't win the fight.
I didn't get the girl. I was a mugging victim.
I was just there for the cool guy. And I
was saying I used to do joking my act, like
I'm not the hero of the action movie. Like I
was the nerd in the van when Tom Cruise is going,
you gotta give me more time and I would be
in front of the keyboard. All right, I'll try click click, click,
and you know you could totally see Bill Burr in
(02:32):
the Simon peg roll. All right, what's going on with
Kevin Hart and Mike Epps. Kevin Hort's entertainment production company
is planning for the w NBA All Star twenty twenty
five events that will be in Indianapolis. President and CEO
of Heartbeat Entertainment Kevin Hart told the Breakfast Club radio show,
it's an opportunity for our company. Our company is a
creative engine for any resource that allows us to beat
(02:53):
the pacers. We'll use that as an example once we
do it well, and from that example, I'll go to
other fing NBA teams or the NBA in general and'll
be like, I'm looking to be a better partner for
the NBA. How do we better tell stories for your brand?
How do we better promote market you? How can we
amplify and activate differently? These are words in the business
the companies desperately want to hear from potential partners. Now.
A few days earlier, Mike Epps had been on the
Breakfast Club. They asked him about the Kevin Hart deal.
(03:15):
Epseid he should have called me hmm. You see, Mike
Epps had a high profile during the twenty twenty five
NBA All Star Weekend, which Indianapolis hostedpset, it's politics. There's
a lot of times people that are not in business
like comedy, or people who aren't in the rap game
that run entities. They don't know. They think me and
Kevin are sitting in the backyard drinking iced tea together.
So you really can't get upset about it. It's enough
for everybody. Kevin's put on enough young comics and people,
(03:37):
so I don't get slighted about it. Kevin Hart is
stressing that his company will run the show in Indianapolis,
not Kevin Hart, the seventy six ers fan, or it said,
it's not a Kevin Hart thing. Everybody as seems that
Kevin Hart is the driving factor of the source. It's
the entity. The entity has to do things outside of
me for an entity to thrive, that's a fact. Whether
it's the Pacers, I got business with the Falcons, I
got business with the Eagles. Our business thrives when we
(03:57):
can implement ourselves in places to create where elevant to
brand a company, an entity and activation, whether it be
live entertainment, storytelling, at etc. Will Heartbeat reach out to
Mike Apps, Kevin Hart said, absolutely, if All Star Weekend's
coming up and we're like, okay, we have ideas to
serve a bigger process that people can probably gravitate towards
a little different from when they done in the past. Absolutely,
does Mike want to bring in and be responsible for
(04:19):
comedy from Indiana. Absolutely, that's where you tap in. All
we at Heartbeat are servicing the hub. We're the hub. Now.
It's our jobs go and grab everybody and make this
thing underneath our hub better. You desperately need that. So
in this case, hell yeah, Mike. Come on, Mike. By
the way, this is your city. What's dope about the
city that we can do with you? What do you
want to do? How do we help you? That's partnership
right now. The priority between me and Mike is figuring
(04:39):
out the thing we're going to do together. And I
think now having that as a priority, his fans will
be happy. My fans, I think will be happy. I
think it'd be dope for the culture when we do it.
Tom Poppa talk to Seattle Magazine the subject of the news.
Tom Papas said, here's the big stuff we can't get
away from. Like you just want to look at your
phone for something fun and you're innundated with bad news.
Your friends are now your news source. Even if you
swore off the news, your friends will pop up and
(05:00):
tell you. It's like all my friends have become wolf Blitzer.
And there's small stuff like people watching videos on their
phones in public without any kind of ear butter headphones.
Oh yeah, we need to throw pies at those people.
I still can't believe somebody will stand an introm new
boarding a plane and watch a video on full volume
Pies everybody. We need to throw pies, you know, like
soft shaving cream pies on a paper plate. I don't want
to injure anybody, but people need to get a message here.
(05:22):
Airports are even making announcements about it now, and you
know the bad behavior has gotten worse when they start
to include it in the run down before takeoff. Jennifer
Coolidge told the story about Pete Davidson, two people they
work together during the filming of Riff Raff. Jennifer said,
I remember one day was freezing and I was on
a house where filmed, and then this Rolls Royce bulls
up and I was like, who's that. It must be
the owner of the house, right, and it's Pete Davidson
(05:43):
in his Rolls Royce. The car didn't quite go with
the neighborhood or any of the experience. But then I thought,
he's doing his own thing. I was never as interesting
as that, you know, showing up at a Rolls Royce
in the middle of winter at some job. It's a
very fancy car to roll up in the dead of winter.
You can't tonight. It's a crafty way for the young
comedian to impress the star studied ensemble. There's everything wrong
with the person doing their own thing and traveling around
in style. Brian posain teld The Sonoma's Son. In comedy,
(06:05):
it takes a while to find your own voice. You
start out acting like other comedians. The comedians I love,
which Steve Martin and Robin Williams. I'd listen to the
records stand up recorded right across the bridge in San Francisco.
They were my comedians, connected and local, using references that
I understood that it became obsessed with all the eighties movies,
the Sebastiani Theater in Sonoma, where Brian was playing was different.
Then the same movie would stay in the theater for weeks,
(06:25):
and I'd go watch them all more than once. Late
Nighter was excerpting from Joe Piskovo's book, in which Joe
Piscopal tells a story about his Frank Sinatra impression. Joe explains,
I'd record Sinatra from TV on a VHS tape, then
I'd record the audio onto a cassette tape. Between the
video and the audio at my source material, I'd drive
around in my Ford Fairmont great detail there, listening to
(06:46):
the cassette and repeating it over and over. When you
do that, you just start to catch it or you don't.
It was trial and error. Piscopo points out that Sinatra's
accentes Hoboken, North Jersey, which is distinct from the rest
of Jersey. Joe said he'd loosen it up a little
bit and make it a little more stre Eventually, Joe
winds up at SNL they want him to do the impression.
Joe sen Sinatra letter that said something like this, mister Sinatra,
(07:07):
I send this with the greatest of respect. You're my hero,
like my father's my hero. He told me you're the
number one entertainer of all time. I mean no offense
when I do the impersonations. They're done with complete respect,
first and foremost. If you find them would be offensive anyway,
I'll cease it and assist immediately. Joe said he never
heard anything. All right, this is cool And starting tomorrow,
Vulture has a show called Guaranteed, a new bi weekly
(07:28):
comedy show at LA's Lyric Hyperion Theater, hosted by two
of twenty twenty four's comedians you should and will know,
Mandal and Skyler Higley. Nice lineup tomorrow. The first show
Emily Catalano, she was on this very program, naomiic Peragin, Yes,
Heer Lester, and Robin Tran. A few weeks back in
the Facebook group which is daily Comedy news podcast group,
(07:50):
one of the main crew over there, Dylan posted question
for both of you, the other person being Mike Chishom
from the Letterman podcast. Of the group of the late
night host since ledone Letterman who be remembered as the best.
I think it's Conan or John Stewart. I was busy
that particular day and said, you know, I'm gonna hold
this in cycle. Back to it when I have a
minute to think. Mike from the Letterman podcast wrote to me,
(08:10):
Conan was really the third man in and he is
a different place in history than Strike Force five does.
He's in a league with Letterman Carson as far as
I'm concerned, Yeah, I feel the same way. You know,
clearly Conan taking over for Letterman and Letterman going to
eleven thirty. So there's the Johnny Carson generation. You know,
if you want to throw Decavot in there, if you
(08:31):
wanna throw or Senio shooting Star show in there, you could. Uh,
then there's Letterman leto and Conan's at twelve thirty there.
But I feel like Conan is a half generation later,
Like if we were seniors, he's a freshman, So I
would kind of put him in his own generation. As
for the current group, Mike wrote, Colbert has a classiness
(08:54):
about him that I think will only deepen with longevity.
Kimmel has a case because his tenure and resume alone.
Colbert host at a phone news talk show and morphed into
late night talk show guy John Stewart. Wait from late
night talk show guy to a fake newsguy. That's really interesting.
Fallon is and always will be a quandary to me.
He's got massive talent and a big following who love
what he does, and a bigger following who loves what
(09:15):
he does in small doses? Is he the best at that?
Now the cordon's gone, He's the clear winner of the
viral video portal of late night? But does that make
him the best host? Good thoughts for Mike. So the
question here is who will be remembered the best? So
if he asked me which is my favorite late night
talk show? I think I would answer Jimmy Kimmel. And
(09:35):
I don't think I've ever actually watched an episode of
Jimmy Kimmel on a television. I've seen tons of clips
and I like what Jimmy's about, But I do feel
he's like somebody who makes the Baseball Hall of Fame
because they play twenty three seasons. I'm not sure what
Jimmy's signature moment is. Is it hosting the Oscars? So
I don't know. I feel like he's gonna put up
the stats and make the late night Hall of Fame.
(09:58):
But I don't know. Colbert, I don't know. I'm not
feeling it. I know he's winning the Late Night Wars Fallin.
I've worked with Jimmy a couple of times. I never
encountered the Jimmy that some of the rumors were bad.
I found a nice guy. I think he's immensely talented.
(10:18):
I think he understands what hosting the Tonight Show in
twenty twenty five is, and the game and the gimmicks
and the social media clips. I think he understands the mission.
And maybe in another universe where he was unshackled the
way Conan has been, maybe you could see what Jimmy
Fallon can really do. But right now, based on the
body of work, or we're going to look back at
(10:38):
Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. I mean, let's rank the Tonight
Show hosts. What are we gonna do? And I'm winging
this and you can send letters and tell me I'm
an idiot. We're gonna go Carson, Steve Allen, Jack Parr,
Jay Leno, Conan only because he only hosted it for
five minutes and Fallon in sixth, right, So I don't
know there. So I guess the answer is j Stewart
(11:00):
and more. For John Stewart's original ten year rather than
this coda that he's tacking on, And is the coda
going to be one of those things where Aaron Rodgers
played for the Jets. We'll see. I think the hope
was that John would have a major impact on the
election last year, and I'm not sure the show registered
the way it had in the past. So if I
had to answer John Stewart, I guess so that'd be
(11:24):
my answer might not be the right answer. And you
can always comment in the Facebook group, which is Daily
Comedy News Podcast group. All Right, see you tomorrow.

from the Letterman podcast. Of the group of the late
night host since ledone Letterman who be remembered as the best.
I think it's Conan or John Stewart. I was busy
that particular day and said, you know, I'm gonna hold
this in cycle. Back to it when I have a
minute to think. Mike from the Letterman podcast wrote to me,
(08:10):
Conan was really the third man in and he is
a different place in history than Strike Force five does.
He's in a league with Letterman Carson as far as
I'm concerned, Yeah, I feel the same way. You know,
clearly Conan taking over for Letterman and Letterman going to
eleven thirty. So there's the Johnny Carson generation. You know,
if you want to throw Decavot in there, if you
(08:31):
wanna throw or Senio shooting Star show in there, you could. Uh,
then there's Letterman leto and Conan's at twelve thirty there.
But I feel like Conan is a half generation later,
Like if we were seniors, he's a freshman, So I
would kind of put him in his own generation. As
for the current group, Mike wrote, Colbert has a classiness
(08:54):
about him that I think will only deepen with longevity.
Kimmel has a case because his tenure and resume alone.
Colbert host at a phone news talk show and morphed into
late night talk show guy John Stewart. Wait from late
night talk show guy to a fake newsguy. That's really interesting.
Fallon is and always will be a quandary to me.
He's got massive talent and a big following who love
what he does, and a bigger following who loves what
(09:15):
he does in small doses? Is he the best at that?
Now the cordon's gone, He's the clear winner of the
viral video portal of late night? But does that make
him the best host? Good thoughts for Mike. So the
question here is who will be remembered the best? So
if he asked me which is my favorite late night
talk show? I think I would answer Jimmy Kimmel. And
(09:35):
I don't think I've ever actually watched an episode of
Jimmy Kimmel on a television. I've seen tons of clips
and I like what Jimmy's about, But I do feel
he's like somebody who makes the Baseball Hall of Fame
because they play twenty three seasons. I'm not sure what
Jimmy's signature moment is. Is it hosting the Oscars? So
I don't know. I feel like he's gonna put up
the stats and make the late night Hall of Fame.
(09:58):
But I don't know. Colbert, I don't know. I'm not
feeling it. I know he's winning the Late Night Wars Fallin.
I've worked with Jimmy a couple of times. I never
encountered the Jimmy that some of the rumors were bad.
I found a nice guy. I think he's immensely talented.
(10:18):
I think he understands what hosting the Tonight Show in
twenty twenty five is, and the game and the gimmicks
and the social media clips. I think he understands the mission.
And maybe in another universe where he was unshackled the
way Conan has been, maybe you could see what Jimmy
Fallon can really do. But right now, based on the
body of work, or we're going to look back at
(10:38):
Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. I mean, let's rank the Tonight
Show hosts. What are we gonna do? And I'm winging
this and you can send letters and tell me I'm
an idiot. We're gonna go Carson, Steve Allen, Jack Parr,
Jay Leno, Conan only because he only hosted it for
five minutes and Fallon in sixth, right, So I don't
know there. So I guess the answer is j Stewart
(11:00):
and more. For John Stewart's original ten year rather than
this coda that he's tacking on, And is the coda
going to be one of those things where Aaron Rodgers
played for the Jets. We'll see. I think the hope
was that John would have a major impact on the
election last year, and I'm not sure the show registered
the way it had in the past. So if I
had to answer John Stewart, I guess so that'd be
(11:24):
my answer might not be the right answer. And you
can always comment in the Facebook group, which is Daily
Comedy News Podcast group. All Right, see you tomorrow.
