Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media. Are they armed? Johnny mac with your
Daily Comedy News John Stewart at the New York Comedy
Festival started talking about Mayor elect Zorn Mamdani. John asked
the crowd, are you excited about Mamdani? You're the ones
moving out. Everybody's nervous. He's going to turn the city
(00:24):
into a crap hole. That's why I moved here. Didn't
we move here because New York's of crap hole? We
didn't come here because it's nice. If you can't make
it here, you can't make it anywhere. John said, I'm
excited to see what the guy does. People say, are
you worried about anti semitism? John's tag. I'll be honest
with you, I'm not worried about anti semitism. I mean
I think anti semitism will be fine. Taylor Tomison heading
(00:44):
back to television. Nope, she's not getting a late night
talk show. Those are over. Apparently, she has filmed a
new special at Michigan's Fountain Street Church, a one year
old church in Grand Rapids. She do two warm up
shows on the thirtieth and thirty first taped to perform
is on the first She also directed this special, her fourth.
Netflix has not yet announced a release date for the
(01:06):
new special. Matt Rife will have a special, this one
called Matt Rife Unwrapped, a Christmas CrowdWork Special. This one
will be out on Netflix on December two. On the
marysu dot com, Rachel Leischmann wrote, Matt Rife is now
doing a CrowdWork special since his jokes didn't work. Rachel
apparently not a fan, right. Matt Rife is a quote
unquote comedian who often uses his CrowdWork to make people
(01:28):
think he's good at stand up. So when his stand
up specials inevitably failed, people realize quickly that he isn't
as funny as his TikTok page. Let people believe now,
the quote unquote comedian is releasing a special built entirely
around crowd work. Why is that? Oh, because that's what
Rife was quote unquote good at. Rachel Leishman writes, I
don't like Rife's style of comedy. It's not really stand up.
(01:49):
He just basically has a conversation with people and says
things that people might deem funny. But he's not going
into comedy shows with jokes prepared I'll comedy snow belong
with you here, sure, but I have to understand the
casuals sitting on the couch they hit play on Netflix.
Did they laugh? Did they not laugh? Did they have
a good time? Did they not have a good time?
And they're going to have a good time watching Matt
(02:10):
Rife do crowd work. Now, if you want to stand
in the back at a comedy seller and smoke cigarettes
and be a snob about it, I'll hang out with you.
I get it. I do it all the time. On
this podcast, Rachel writes, when did he prepare his jokes
for his previous stand up specials? They were sexist and
not at all funny. So what does it say about
him as a comedian. He can talk to people, but
ask him to write something and it's going to be
(02:30):
offensive and rude. Chance with So, if you want to
spend your holidays with Matt Rife, I guess your Christmas
wish came true. I don't want to spend my holidays
with Matt Rife. I mean, he's welcome, come over. I'll
hang out with him. But the specials out December seconds,
which you know isn't really the holidays, is it? Bret Goldstein,
who has one of the best comedy specials of the year.
He's going to star as an accidental male escort in
(02:52):

Goldstein will play a divorced father in Manhattan who accidentally
becomes a male escort in this romantic comedy about second chances,
the mayhem of cope, parenting, and whether real intimacy can
ever be bought copyrighting rule of three. You want more
things to watch on TV? Okay, how about Mike Tyson's
(03:13):
Return of the Mike Tour. Mike is going to film
a comedy special December fourteenth at the Seminole Hard Rock
Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. Mike, who did not appear
at the Riod Comedy Festival, has done some worse things
in his life. You could look up his resume, but
I guess we're all cool. Sure comedy special Why Not?
(03:33):
Hard Rock and Netflix announced that Mike Tyson's highly anticipated
live show Return of the Mike will be filmed for
an upcoming global Netflix special, giving fans worldwide the chance
to experience the boxing icon's most honest and hilarious performance yet.
Mary Beth Baron. She's getting a Netflix special that's right
known on the stand up side for her self aware,
(03:53):
darkly postmodern material. Mary Beth Baron is also a writer
and actor. No date yet on that special. Dany Kaaling
is working on a new comedy called Not Suitable for
Work that'll be on Hulu. So you're gonna have to
decide do you support fascism in the ABC Disney Company?
Where do you walk all the way upstairs and get
the scrubs DVDs like those of us who are four
freedom are doing up to you whatever you want. I
(04:17):
like this bit. Not Suitable for Work has added twelve
new cast members. That's a lot, mindy twelve. This does
not include the one, two, three, four, five already announced leads.
There's twelve additional people. What are we doing? Victor Garber
will play West Dryden, the host of a prestigious investigative
(04:38):
journalism ship. Greg German is David Teitelbaum, Josh's father and
the powerful chairman of a major media conglomerate. Judy Gold
will play paula longtime producer at the West Dryden show.
Eggelnwotam will play Kate Woodson, the assistant head of School,
an exclusive all girls private school in Manhattan. This sounds horrible.
Harry Richardson has been cast as movie star internet boyfriend
(05:01):
Austin Blanchette. Constance Wu has been cast as Vanessa Sue,
an intense and demanding celebrity stylist. Laura Bell Bundy has
been cast as AJ's mom. Amy Stella Everett will play Vivian,

the New York Investment Bank Fisher Stassin. What are we doing?
(05:22):
Bavesh Patel has been cast as Deleep, a VP at
the New York Investment Bank Fisher Stassin. Oh, there's more,
and I'm not going to stop. This is what Mindy
Kayling wants you to watch. Amelia Suarez has been cast
as Elena, a smart and capable intern at the West
Dryden Show. Michael Benjamin Washington has been cast as a
landlord and aspiring dancer Antuan. There's no premier date yet
(05:45):
for Not Suitable for Work. It'll be on Hulu again.
If you want to support fascism, you can get Hulu
and remember we as we've learned this week. Hilarious is
where your career starts to go on the downside. Hi, mindy,
how you doing? You want more TV? I have more TV.
Rory scovel has been tapp is the co lead opposite
Rachel Bloom in an ABC half hour pilot Do You
Want Kids?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
ABC? At Disney. Those are those guys that kick Jimmy
Kimmel off the air. So you got to decide do
you like Rory scapable or is more fascism? You gotta pick? Here?
Did I watch them Monday Night Football this week? I didn't.
I have you two TV where there is no Disney,
There's no conflict there, and I still won the football
pool Scott Beckett. I don't need to watch the games,
not just pick. I even told Scott Beckett what the
system is. I'll tell all of you. If the spreads
(06:27):
more than three and a half, take the points, that's it.
That's the entire system. Anyway. On the fascist show Do
You Want Kids, Rory plays Alex, Rachel Bloom plays Rosie,
and the show delves into how their lives are dramatically
altered in a sliding doors style exploration of one universe
where they have a child and another where they don't.
That is way too complicated for an ABC sitcom. Even
(06:50):
in the time of freedom. ABC viewers can't handle that, guys.
Vanity Fair asked David Kross about all those people that
were going to leave the country if George W. Bush
was elected. Cross said, back then, I thought it was
a little hysterical and hyperbolic and dramatic, and I certainly
didn't engage in that. But the difference is all the
things we've discussed Ice as a bunch of proud boys,
people enjoy beating people up and enjoying the kind of
(07:11):
power and are now being given badges and guns and
told go get them boys. And if that person points
their camera at you and they're filming, you can go
and curb stomp them. That's fine. And that old sixty
five year old priest is trying to say, please, don't
shove them in the street. They don't care about anybody
but white nationalists. That's who's in the streets now. So
that's different. You know, there's no law anymore, so yeah,
things are a bit different. Cat Williams has defeated a
(07:32):
lawsuit over a midtown brawl. This news out of Atlanta.
Cat had been accused of assaulting four women outside Inn
Atlanta club in twenty sixteen. The reports say, with a
legal technicality, Cat Williams says dodged the lawsuit. The case
was thrown out last week by a federal judge who
said the women missed their deadline to serve Williams with
(07:53):
their complaint despite receiving authority to use the US Marshal Service.
That's all I know about it. I would like to
tell you more, but that's all I half.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Gossip Connor whispers in the street, gossip corn, probably about Pete.
Gossip con Aware are the rumors meeting with Johnny Mack.
It's always a tree.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
We are on gossip corner and it is about Pete
from the Sun, which is not only the star at
the center of the solar system in which you live,
which gives you light and heat. It's also a UK
tabloid and they say Pete Davidson and Colin, Joe Staten
Island Ferry Retavoc. I've made myself laugh at my dumb jokes. Sorry,
Retavoc on the New York City Marathon and caused major
(08:33):
delays for runners. Now, I, as you know, am a
two time New York City Marathon finisher. So I am
on team Marathon here. What did these horrible faery people do?
The faery guys they got some money from Nike. The
faerry was painted red with Nike branding and the text
NYC won't carry you, it pushes you run. The ferry
(08:53):
was tugged into the waters near the Verizontal Bridge. A
source tells the son again the newspaper not these are
at the center of the solar system. Beaton Collins ferry
caused a delay for runners taking the ferry to Staaten
Island for the start of the marathon. Some people thought
it was a joke, but it wasn't. You see, the
runners ferries were leaving about twenty minutes later than they
should have, and they were told there were issues with
(09:14):
Staten Island helping the guys with the ferry was causing
him back up on the river. Everybody was already anxious,
so it was a bit frustrating. Now I can see
that being stressful. As you know, I'm a two time
year City Marathon finisher and I when I do the race,
I take the ferry there because it's nice. You know,
you get to like chill out on the boat a
little bit and look out and you see the Statue
of Liberty and you get good views of the New
York Harbor. But then you have to get on a
(09:35):
shuttle boss and then you have to get to the village,
and you want to time that because if it's a
little cold, and it was a little cold this year,
you don't want to get to the village too early
because then you're just standing around freezing, And then you
have to decide, am I going to run in the
sweatshirt that's keeping me warm? Or do you throw it away?
I did it one year the first The second time
I did it was warm. I just ran in what
I brought. The first year, they had a system where
(09:55):
a lot of people just throw their running gear away
and just I don't know. I'm a bartender son, I
just don't think that way. So you could pay to
have your extra sweatshirt shipped back to you, which is
what I did on my first marathon twelve years ago.
I digress, So anyway, I could see how that would
be stressful if you're like, hey, I just want to
get to Staten Island. Why is Pete Davidson's ferry in
my way from cron dot com. John mulaney spotted at
(10:17):
a museum. Yeah, he was at the Manial Collection in Montrose.
The museum posted John Mulaney dropped by the Manial Collection
this morning, following his tour stop in Houston this over
the weekend. Thank you for visiting out today. On the
eight hundred pound Gorilla, Angela Johnson races, say I won't
the Spanish dubbed release. That's interesting. The near Ak Comedy
Festival continues with almost no buzz. Told you it's a
(10:40):
big city. The lineup is just not there this year.
Love the people, but they've had bigger in the past.
All right, let's check out the schedule. Oh look, they
listened to me. They added a new button. We can
start with the date you actually want to look at. Wow,
imagine that. Okay, I'm not reading you everything. I'm just
going to tell you if I see any big names. No, no,
(11:02):
Morgan Jay at seven. Let's say no Morgan Jay show
at seven listed for a second time. I've told you
this is not the best website. Let's say no, no, no, no, no.
Oh boy, they are extra sloppy today. Connor Wood presents
Fibbs and Friends listed twice. He's at the Gramercy Theater
at seven o'clock twice. No, No, the ever so serious

Festival kicks off in Saint Louis. Their headliners in clue

(12:07):
a Greek comic who was not at the real comedy festival.
Patti Harrison and Dulce Sloan to receive their website's any
good we should all right, I'm clicking on schedule here.
All I want to know is who's playing? Oh they
have grid technology. Wait, maybe it's time for me to
just end the podcast. I may have completed my life's
mission to have a comedy festival put out a schedule
that is actually usable. Good job, flyover comedy festival. See here.
(12:31):
It's really easy for me to tell you Kyle Canad
at eight o'clock. We would absolutely go see Kyle if
we were there. This is great. Bookmark this one for tomorrow.
Tracy Morgan spoke to CBS about his time on Saturday
Night Live. He said, when I first got there, I
felt socially pushed away because it is like the whitest
show in the world, and I don't want no one
to portray me in a way that wasn't true. It
was like I had the whole black community on my back. Lauren,
(12:53):
let me know, Tracy, we didn't hire you because you're black.
We hired you because you're funny. That changed at all.
That's where I let go and I let god. Jim
Brewer was on the cast at that same time, and
he was friends with Tracy. Jim, what were your SNL
days like Jim said, overall, I have great memories. Had
come from a very blue collar family. We never went
on vacations. We lived near JFK Airport. My dad worked
(13:14):
in sanitation, sometimes with Barten during the week after work.
My mom worked too, for Pan American Airlines. So being
this kid from Long Island, I couldn't believe I was
getting to meet all these bands stars came on the show.
I really enjoyed that part, but it was really extremely
competitive and there were a lot of egos and some backstabbing.
That was tough. I also wrestled with some things I
witnessed or learned about certain celebrities. My eyes opened. I
(13:35):
couldn't believe how they could get away with particular things.
The mature me today could handle that. However, back then
I really struggled emotionally with some of what I saw.
All Right, Jim, did you have a favorite memory from SNL?
Jim says, one has to be meeting Joe Peshey. I
did in imitation of him, and he went out of
his way to do a sketch with me. To sit
and have a conversation with him was just incredible. I
also enjoyed meeting Jack Nicholson. At the time, those guys
(13:56):
were my idols, but my all time favorite memory he's
making Lorne Michael's man. I have seen everything and everyone
lose himself After the first time I imitated Joe Peshi
and did goat Boy to watch him not be able
to control his laughter. That's a moment I will never
ever forget and that issue comedy needs for today. I'll
catch you tomorrow.
