Speaker 1 (00:03):
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy news. Things starting to settle back into normal. Hey,
do you support fascism? Or did you cancel Disney Plus
and Hulu like you were supposed to when they took
Jimmy Kimmel off the air? You canceled, right, you don't
have Hulu, Well, then you're not going to be able
(00:25):
to see Sebastian Maniscalco's upcoming special. Now. Sebastian's career apparently
has not been too damaged by his choice to play
the Riod Comedy Festival, because Hulu has announced that Sebastian
Maniscalco's it Ain't Right Boy he works hard on those titles.
His new special is going to premiere Friday, November twenty
first on Hulu. The special takes its name from Maniscalco's
(00:48):
recent tour spanning twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five.
He played places like Chicago and Riod, but this hour
was filmed at the United Center Arena in Chicago, and
we're told the commite goes all in on family chaos, aging,
killing journalists, and the little things that drive us all nuts.
Oh sorry, mister that family, chaos, aging, and the little
things that drive us all nuts. I should edit that,
(01:09):
shouldn't I? Yeah, the humble brag here tells us a
Sebastian Menascalco ranked among the top twenty five global tours overall,
was named one of Billboard's top ten highest grossing comedy
tours of twenty twenty four, and was the only comedian
to appear in Pollstar's top twenty global concert tours of
twenty twenty five. So you can see his career terribly
damaged by appearing at the Riod Comedy Festival. Another comedian
(01:30):
who appeared at the Reod Comedy Festival is Bill Burr.
I just now saw that he did put out a
Monday podcast late on Monday. I just skimmed the transcript.
I don't think he talked about Riod at all. He
talked mostly about football, going to see the USC game,
and a little bit about New York City. But I
didn't see anything about the Reodd Comedy Festival, so I
think he's moved on from that. I'm sure his career
was terribly hurt. I did see, as as recording that
(01:52):
Amy Poehler's podcast The Guest Is azi'son' Sorry, which I
think last week a lot more people realized azi'son Sorry
he's a douchebag. I mean, I've been hinting at that
since I started this podcast, but I think last week
everybody went, oh, that guy's a douchebag. Well, Amy Polar
apparently doesn't feel that way. They were co stars on
Parks and rec of course, and she had him on
the podcast. I just did a search on Apple podcast transcripts.
(02:14):
I searched for the word re Odd. It does not
appear in the transcript. I search for the word Saudi.
It does not appear in the transcript. But I did
search for the word festival to make sure the search
function was working. And there is a mention of a
Z's at a film festival during the podcast, so it
appears Apple podcast transcript search is working, and they did
not discuss Razi's going to the Riodd Comedy Festival. But
(02:38):
I haven't actually listened to Aidmy Poehler's episode, and the
chances of me listening to an hour of Amy Polar
with A Z's I'm sorry or zero, they're actually zero,
so you'll have to tell me. On Netflix announced that
there Eddie Murphy documentary called Being Eddie Well airon Netflix Wednesday,
November twelfth. The log line tells us it goes without saying,
(02:59):
that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen
comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at seventeen and
joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of
high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor,
and a donkey. Oh right. I was like, Eh, somebody
must have played a cop and a doctor, but a donkey.
You might have me there and dominated every facet of Hollywood.
He's touched fewer. Still have been an a less celebrity
for over four decades and never succumbed to its darker side.
(03:22):
I don't know about that latter part. You could google
Eddie Murphy and all sorts of things will come up.
Maybe just because I've been entertainment adjacent for three decades
that I know stuff. For example, I typed in a
phrase I will tell you what I typed in, but
surfaced a story from Yahoo from twenty seventeen when Eddie
Murphy was stopped by police with dot dot dot, And
you can do your own Google search for that phrase
(03:43):
and see what comes up. So let's not make it
sound like Eddie's been at church for forty years anyway.
Being Eddie explores the unusual combination of explosive chrisma, folks
to ambition, raw talent, and deep set circumscision that put
Murphy in a league of his own. Appearing in the
documentary or Senni O Hall, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, who
was just at the Reod Comedy Festival, Jamie Fox, Jerry Seinfeld,
(04:06):
Kevin Hart, Michael J. Pete Davidson, whose father was killed
a nine to eleven. Pete was recently at the Riod
Comedy Festival, and Tracy Morgan and a bunch of others.
John m'laney is going to direct Robbie Hoffman's debut Netflix special.
They first met when Robbie Hoffman guessed that on Everybody's
Live this will be filmed next week at the Masonic Lodge.
I was just in front of that building. Why didn't
(04:28):
you film that while I was there? I could have gone.
It will mark Hoffman's first comedy special in nearly seven
years and her debut for Netflix. Mlanie announced this on
stage during his tour he was in San Diego. Brought
Robbie Hoffman on stage and said she's one of my
absolute favorite comedians and friends alive. The next day on Instagram,
Malini confirmed it, writing I'm very excited to announce I'll
be directing Robbie Hoffman's new Netflix special. Malini told a
(04:50):
story about Hoffman's outdoor set on Sunday night, was interrupted
by her own car alarm. Gary Goleman until the Third
Coast Review was hard to build material for the first
twenty years. The main reason was how difficult it was
to get on stage from more than five or ten minutes.
Whenever I did, I didn't want to try something brand new,
so I'd add something that had already worked. Sometimes the
story's true parts had been explained, and then you had
to start hitting it from different angles to make the
(05:11):
joke longer. He explains how his Trader Joe's joke is
about a woman cutting me in line, but then it
becomes about imagining her life outside Trader Joe's. The story
itself was basic. There were some older women around me,
and I made an ass of myself. But it's interesting
how your compass can be. This story is different than
other comedians. I don't hear anyone else talking about abbreviating
the states. It's fun to tell that should be the compass.
No one else is doing it, and it's fun, then
(05:32):
you won't give up on it. It's like when you
think of a sentence and it's already on a website
or in a play. Thinking of something original that you
can't find online that no one else is doing. That's
a really good aim. It provides pride. You see dozens
of comedians doing versions of Patrise O'Neil or David Tell
or prior or Carlin. I forget who said it, but
imitation is like suicide. You're killing yourself in a sense.
But it comes back to not getting a lot of
stage time and needing to use it efficiently. That's where
(05:54):
my low self esteem being attached to how the joke
went actually helped. I was afraid a new joke would bomb,
so I didn't want to take the chance deal. Hughlee
spoke to The Daily News online about crowd work and said,
I used to be really famous for that. I love CrowdWork,
but after a while you want to show people you're
tapped in what's going on. I don't do it as
much as I used to the older you get, the
more you've been around, he rely on other things. He
(06:15):
explained why they never did a sequel to the original
Kings of Comedy. Some of the reasons include Bernie Mack
passing away in two thousand and eight and Steve Harvey
a hosting family feud and retiring from stand up. Deale said,
we didn't do a sequel. We let it rest. Nothing
approximates your first kiss. Nothing is quite as dynamic as
that one. Thinking of the chores, like flipping through your
wedding album. It's a fond memory, but not something top
(06:36):
of mind. I'm still very proud of what we did.
Then cool article on Vulture It is the twenty twenty
five TikTok survival guide for comics who want to get paid.
They shared some stats. The average video length on Matt
Rife's one hundred and ninety three tiktoks posted in twenty
twenty two to twenty twenty three. The average video length
(06:57):
of rice one hundred ninety three tiktoks was two minutes
twenty seconds, which is over double the supposed industry best
practice of quick hitting clips. That's interesting, right. The average
length of his ten most viewed TikTok's three nineteen, his
ten most liked three point thirty six, his ten most
shared four forty two. Emily Watson posted her entire special
(07:17):
fixed on TikTok, where it received three times as many
views as it did on YouTube. Viewers save the full
video returned to it, and she still carved out a
dozen additional videos to clip up and monetize separately. That guy,
Jay Leno, he's the worst. He was talking about why
he got a watch nerve of that guy. Yeah, he
was at Los Angeles' premier watch collectors gathering, the Neighborhood
(07:38):
Watch Club. Haha, very plenty title there Watch Officionados, and
Jay Leno was there. He was wearing a Buruguette Classique
sobscription twenty twenty five And I probably didn't even pronounce
that right, jay Leno snob. We're told that watch reduces
the timetelling process to a single blued steel hand set
against a white enamel background with bruge numerals. Wow, fancy schmancy.
(07:59):
It's a stunning tribute to both the company founder and
as well as the brand's two hundred and fiftieth anniversaries.
So if you want to walk around while you're popping
off thinking you know anything about hosting a late night
television show and you want to look sharp. Yeah, you
get one of these watches. That guy. Jay Leno said,
It's amazing that something designed two undred fifty years ago
still looks the same. It's basically the same watch. It
sounds like something he would say, right, especially because it's
a direct quote. Does sound like something he was You're
(08:23):
losing the bitch on Bridge was more of an artist
as well as a mechanical genius, said j Leno. Luckily
they asked him what draws you to a watch? Jay said,
I know when I see it, something stands out. I
like classical design using modern techniques. There's a lot of
science and a lot of technology, but it still looks classical.
I know I have to go home and wind my watch.
I enjoy that. It's the same with cars. They require
(08:44):
a certain amount of me and it's it's an emotional connection.
You either get it or you don't. Geleb Beard spoke
to The Hollywood Reporter about narrowing down what stories made
it into his special Caleb said, there's a lot of
things that got left on the cutting room floor. Every
part of it calls for a different thing, Like when
you're moving from something political, sometimes want to get a
little more political right after that, and sometimes you want
to veer into something that's a palate cleanser. You're thinking
(09:05):
of it in fifteen to thirty and sixty minute chunks.
You want to think of the holistic piece, but also
the experience from five minutes to five minutes. That's really
smart and really it's not just looking the whole body
at the first hour. It's like, Okay, every joke I've
ever told is technically on the table for this, except
maybe what I've done on Comedy Central, And you go, okay,
what fits? What makes a full compelling picture here? What
feels like a piece and not just some guy rambling,
(09:27):
although I think parts of it is just some guy rambling,
which I'm okay with. But part of making those selections
is just going, what is the piece asking for? What
does it need right here? See? This is really smart,
really well thought out. And I saw this one. I
thought the spin on this one was a little ridiculous.
Press release, I guess for Data Vault, they announced the
development of its joke token technology, designed to safeguard comedic
(09:50):
content and establish copyright protection for comedians. Okay, They showcased
this at a live event over the weekend. The system
uses blockchain and AI to me unique digital tokens for
original jokes, while recording audience laughter metrics as proof of authenticity.
So I guess you're up on stage and you're doing
(10:10):
your set and Robin Williams is there, but luckily you
recorded your set and the technology goes, oh, no, john
just did an original joke. Robin Williams can't steal it,
and we'll add blockchain and digital voodoo to it so
that when Robin Williams does my joke at the laugh Factory,
we can be like, hey, that's Johnny Max joke. Something
like that. The technology addresses copyright infringement issues common in
(10:32):
the comedy industry by creating immutable records of jokes and
enabling monetization through smart contracts. So they got professional comedian
Karen Fihn who were told Isa Beard on Netflix in
Comedy Central. Karen Fihann said, the technology gives me an
automated means by which I can make an immutable record
of the jokes I create. I love that she parodied
back the legalies of I could make an immutable record
(10:54):
of the jokes I create and the copyright protection to
which I'm entitled. Is that a real quote professional could
You didn't care and fee and sounds like somebody had
a decent words and said, hey, do you mind saying
you said this? But what do I know? I wasn't there,
And that if your Caddy Comedy News on a Wednesday,
AH see you tomorrow.
