Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey Mandam, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Congratulations
to Jerry Seinfeld. He has been added to forbes annual
Billionaire Roundup. The twenty twenty five World Billionaires list features
more than three thousand billionaires. Two hundred and eighty eight
of them, including Bruce Springsteen and Jerry Seinfeld, are new.
(00:29):
Jerry's net worth is valued at one point one billion
dollars by Forbes, making him the two eight hundred and
twenty eighth richest person in the world as of April third.
Do you read Marvel comics? Some people think that the
Rhino is living in the New York apartment that used
to be the residents of the sitcom character Jerry Seinfeld.
(00:49):
There are some scenes in the New Amazing Spider Man
Number one. One of them is reminiscent of Tom's restaurant
on the corner there, although it's called something else in
the comic, And then we see the rhinos apartment, which
boy sure looks a lot like Jerry's place with the
couch and the kitchen. Spoilers for Spider Man Number one,
you weren't going to read it. The Rhino seems to
(01:11):
be out of his mind. Peter Parker tracks down the
Rhino in his East Harlem apartment for clues as to
what is going on. I'm recording a little earlier than
usual today. I have not yet seen any reviews of
Tim Dillon's new special, which is odd. Did they not
share screeners with anyone? I don't know? On Netflix tonight,
John mulaney has David Letterman, Hannibal Urus, LeAnn Morgan, Nicky Glazer,
(01:34):
and Randy Newman. As I have said in the past,
if you spotted me David Letterman, Hannibal Buris, Nicky Glazer,
had Randy Newman do a song and Lean Morgan's there too,
all I would have to do is be like, so, Dave,
what's going on? And shut up? And then Dave will
say something and the nick he will jump in, and
then an hour later I go all right, thanks everybody,
good night. If this mullanie show is not good tonight,
(01:56):
the Malleni Netflix experiment is never going to work. Not
gonna have a better lineup than Letterman, Hannibal, Lean Morgan,
Nikki Glazer, Randy Newman. Speaking of Letterman, I'm sure Mike
from the Letterman Podcast is saving up all his money
for an auction. Remember the time Letterman wore the Velcrow suit?
That was on February twenty eighth, nineteen eighty four's Late
Night with David Letterman. Dave wore a suit made out
(02:18):
of velcrow, jumped on a trampoline and landed on a wall.
It is now part of an auction called channel Surfing,
a broadcast to binge auction. The wonderful website Late nighter
dot com has a lot of information about this. The
auction is selling over five hundred pieces of TV memorabilia.
Late Nighter tells us designed by Letterman's longtime costume designer,
(02:39):
Susan Humm. The auctioneer says the one of a kind
suit was acquired from Letterman at the request of Johnny Carson.
The item's listing tells us the Velcrow still works. Bidding
starts at five thousand dollars Mike Chisseomost of The Letterman Podcast,
although it's expected to fetch anywhere from twenty thousand to
thirty thousand dollars. Some other stuff. Mike from The Letterman
(02:59):
Bob Cast might want to bid on a skyscraper from
the Late Night with David Letterman backdrop, a child sized
Halloween costume of a McDonald's grilled chicken. Cards from various
desk bits. Maybe you can get one of those mic
and wardrobe worn by Paul Shaffer. And when you think
about it, who doesn't want to wear Paul Shaffer's clothes.
There's also some Carson stuff, including studio lights, desk props,
(03:22):
a set piece from the bandstand audience seats. Some SNL
stuff include crew garments, including a jacket owned by Joe Piscopo,
and if you want to pick up chicks, you're gonna
want to get that jacket, one of dan Ackroyd's conehead prosthetics.
That's fun, one of the Killer b antennas worn by
John Belushi. Channel Surfing a broadcast to Binge Auction May
(03:43):
seven through eighth, more details on the Late Night or website.
Fox News was listening to Theovan's podcast and they noticed
that Theovon is behind these tariffs. Fox News writes comedio
theovaugh Worn that not giving Trump's tariffs a try could
be a wrap for America's economy, a quote theo as saying,
on this comedy tour, we've probably been to the top
(04:03):
two hundred cities size wise in America, maybe even more
than that, and a lot of them there's nothing there.
It's empty downtown, and so you start to be like,
nothing's gonna change, There's nothing coming that's gonna make that different.
Michael Costa was on the Last Laugh podcast and explained,
if I just say Trump is stupid, the audience is
gonna clap. That's not good comedy, that's not unique. We're
not pointing out apocracy. We're not building an argument. So
(04:24):
we have to be aware of that. And it could
feel good as a comedian if you get the audience
to clap or laugh, but that doesn't mean you're doing
a good job at comedy. And there's a part of
me that wonders if we're making jokes while the Titanic
sinks while Hitler is invading Poland. There's also part of
me that can very optimistically appreciate that the Constitution is
two hundred and seventy years old. This is not the
first egomaniac we've had as president. It doesn't always feel
(04:45):
like they're working, but there are checks and balances. That's
the space we're trying to live in. Send your letters
to both Michael Costa and Theo Vaughn. Greg Gutfeld is
going to host a game show. Sure, that's a great idea.
It's called What Did I Miss? A new game show
that will quiz four uninformed contestants on the events of
Trump's term so far. According to Fox News, the contestants
(05:08):
have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York
with no contact to the outside world since January twentieth.
They had no phones, no internet, no TV, no social media,
so these people just sat there reading books. The contestants
were released on April thirteenth on What Did I Miss?
The contestants will have to identify real and fake headlines
(05:29):
presented by Greg Guttfeld for grand prize of fifty thousand
dollars fifty thousand dollars to sit in a room and
read books for three months, I guess. The limited series
is three episodes, Gutfeld said in a statement. For these
four contestants learn what really happened while they were living
in isolation, They're gonna have to get through me first,
Lucky them. The show is going to tape in front
(05:49):
of a live studio audience and will drop on Fox
Nation May twelfth through the fourteenth, Looking forward to that one. Huh.
Ricky Gervaise is a vodka brand. Dutch Born has launched
the Spirits of Comedy stand up competition in the UK.
The Spirit of Comedy aims to unearth and promote new
talent to a global audience. There will be multiple regional
(06:10):
rounds across the UK, the grand finale scheduled for October
first in London. Ricky Gervais said, as well as trying
to make Dutchborn a billion dollar global brand, we thought
we might as well try to find Britain's second greatest comic.
I liked that quote. That's a good quote. The first
rounds are in May and July and twenty UK towns
and cities. A second round August. In September, highlights of
(06:32):
the show will be broadcast on the dutch Born YouTube channel.
If you want to apply, submit a short clip on
the brand's website. The winner will receive five thousand pounds
that's around sixty six hundred US dollars and will be
invited to open for Ricky at London's Ovo Arena, Wembley
on November fifteenth. Every guest attending a Spirit of Comedy
(06:53):
event will be greeted with a complimentary Dutch born cocktail.
Sean Patten's got a special out. It's on the eight
hundred pound Gorilla YouTube channel. In number one, Seawan shares
his experience with obsessive compulsive disorder, a mayhem filled to childhood,
and the complex enduring connections with his family. Now, I'm
not sure if this special is new new or new
(07:13):
to the Gorilla because Sean Patten has an album called
Number one that was released on September twelfth, twenty twenty three.
But anyway, it's not like we're all quoting that one
left and right, so it might as well be new.
Verdaz not happy with Air India. He alleged that he
got a broken table, broken leg rest and a seat
stuck in a reclined position despite paying fifty thousand local
(07:35):
currencies for the seat. I'm gonna have to have Google
help me with this one. Let's see, fifty thousand Indian
rupees are right now as I record five hundred and
eighty three dollars okay, so Verdaz paid five hundred and
eighty three dollars for his flight and he's upset it
Air India. Daz posted on Twitter that his wife what
a fractured foot, didn't get a wheelchair even after pre
(07:57):
booking the service. Air India says, hey, the crew offer
to assist the guest, including d planing by using the
ambul lift assigned to the aircraft. They say the delay,
not denial, in providing wheelchair assistance, was due to unusually
high demand for wheelchairs and staff at the time. We
empathize with the guests, especially giving the mobility concerned involved,
(08:20):
and recognize that this experience fell short of expectations. Das
post a Dear Air India, please reclaim your wheelchair. I'm
a lifetime loyalist. I believe you've got the nicest cabin
crew in the sky. This post pains me to write.
Broken table, broken leg rest, her seat is stuck, recline
won't strengthen fully. We're told the flight is newly refurbished.
Two hours late, we get off in Delhi and we're
(08:41):
told it's a step ladder again. Wheelchair and meet and
greet services at airports pre booked. I asked the air
hostesses at the front of the plane assist my wife
while I carry four bags. Silence and a clueless look
at each other. We step off the plane at the
top of the ladder. I ask an Air India male
ground staff member to help us, looks at me, shrugs
and ignores me. Meanwhile, Joe Coy thanked the flight crew
(09:02):
of an LA bound flight that made an emergency landing
in Tokyo. The flight from the Philippines to LA was
forced to make an emergency landing in Japan. It is
not exactly clear why the plane was diverted. However, video
taken by passengers shows smoke in the cabin. That would
be a good hint. Joe Coy posted a video on
his Instagram thanking the crew, saying the flight attendants were amazing,
(09:26):
thank you for remaining comm in a situation that could
have went south fast. Three hundred and fifty five passengers
were on board, nobody was injured. You may recall Joe
Cooy once hosted The Golden Cloves where he made this
joke about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL.
On the Golden Globes, we have fewer cambra shots of Taylor.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Swift, so this surprised me. Maybe I'm just dumb and
misunderstood everything. I was expecting three Kiltny's on Netflix in
a row, but no, they're apparently spread out. Kill Tony
was just on YouTube on Monday night, not on Netflix,
so I don't know what's going on there. The Free
Press had a good take on the Netflix episode, saying
(10:10):
the lesson of Netflix's first Kill Tony and I can't
bring myself to watch another. One of these says O
the Free Press was that just because you have a
popular podcast where you could be rambling, weird and sometimes
very funny, it doesn't mean you'll translate well to a
different medium. I'm gonna give that same note to John
m'laney show. Hours long podcasts have built in slack the
listeners with you for the ride, especially on Netflix, does not.
Every frame needs to make a case to the viewer
(10:32):
not to click away. I'll jump in here. As I said,
I think they put a ten minute barrier. Tony came
out and introduced the band. The first comic was flat.
At minute eleven, Shane Gillis's Trump comes out. That should
have been the first thing that the casual Kill Tony
sampler had been exposed to. I don't think the casuals
got to minute eleven free press rights. The audience expects polish,
(10:54):
and it's unclear, though becoming clearer, whether the comedians who
found themselves in the mainstream are up to the challenge
of shining up. I've been mentioning I'm obsessed with Last
One Laughing UK on Amazon. There's only like six episodes,
so I'm watching one a night, but I am loving
it and it got me thinking, and I share this
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Feel
(11:15):
encouraged to join us and join the conversation. I wondered
what Last One Laughing US might look like. My mind
keeps going to Bert Kreischer. I could picture Bert Kreischer
in that room, and if Bert's there, I could see
Sigura there. Another person I thought would play well in
that room is Sarah Silverman, because she does like to
work dirty, and some of the stuff from Lou Sanders
(11:37):
in the UK version made me imagine Sarah coming up
and whispering something very naughty in someone's ear and getting
a laugh. I started to think about who would be
a good host for this. My mind went to Conan
O'Brien would be fantastic. However, you know, at some point
there's a budget, right, so if you put Conan on top,
the show is really expensive to begin with. So I
(11:58):
don't know if this is really stick at all, but
you know, you could probably get Sigren Kracher to do
it for laugh Sarah seems like should be game. Aaron
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group wrote,
I think Sarah Sherman would kill She's right, Sarah Sherman
would be perfect for that show. Aaron also suggested Mark Marin,
and I could see Mark Maron in the Richard ayoad
(12:19):
A tough nut to crack roll. Another name thrown out there,
Tracy Morgan. I think Tracy would be really good in
the room, and you could probably get Tracy anyway. Last
one laughing us. Somebody make this, will you. I gotta
tell you I'm really happy with today's show, because I'll
be honest, at one point I thought I had nothing,
and this is coming out really well. Let's head over
to Moontower. Many shows tonight, Morgan Jay is your headliner
(12:43):
at the Paramount Theater at seven. Morgan has a special
on Hulu coming up on Friday. There's actually too many
shows for me to tell you about one that caught
my eye. Also at seven o'clock at Antuon's New York's
Finest Friend of the show, John Marco Ciresi on that
Chloe Radcliffe, Isabelle Hagen, mohanad Elshiki and Nathan mcintoshi in finance,
Emil Wakim, Steph Dag Josh Adam Meyers, Sam Castillo. That's
(13:07):
a nice lineup. Maria Bamford's at the Thompson Theater also
at seven, Todd Barry at the State Theater, also at seven. Interestingly,
at seven point fifteen, a show called Cheers Queers also
has Ian Finance on the lineup, So apparently he's going
to run from one show to the other. I'm not
sure the distance between those two venues. The Moontower All
(13:27):
Stars at the Cap City Company Club Main Room at
eight o'clock features two former guests of this show, Matthew Bissarajar,
Marco Soresi and Ashima Franklin, who's never been on the show.
A show at eight point thirty is called s word
is Golden, so crap's golden. What's catching my eye here
is that the cover art for the show looks like
(13:49):
if you told chat gpt to make a cartoon of
a very old Mark Maron with gray hair. And the
person in question, who's a cartoon who's definitely not Mark
Maron with here has a podcast microphone, so that's interesting.
Lisa triggers at the Creek in the Cave at nine
point fifteen, and like ten other shows that didn't tell
(14:10):
you about, tomorrow is just as busy. And that's 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, like subscribe, thumbs up, alarm bell, all
that YouTube stuff that you YouTube people do, do it
all right, See you tomorrow,
Kalaroga Shark Media.

was just on YouTube on Monday night, not on Netflix,
so I don't know what's going on there. The Free
Press had a good take on the Netflix episode, saying
(10:10):
the lesson of Netflix's first Kill Tony and I can't
bring myself to watch another. One of these says O
the Free Press was that just because you have a
popular podcast where you could be rambling, weird and sometimes
very funny, it doesn't mean you'll translate well to a
different medium. I'm gonna give that same note to John
m'laney show. Hours long podcasts have built in slack the
listeners with you for the ride, especially on Netflix, does not.
Every frame needs to make a case to the viewer
(10:32):
not to click away. I'll jump in here. As I said,
I think they put a ten minute barrier. Tony came
out and introduced the band. The first comic was flat.
At minute eleven, Shane Gillis's Trump comes out. That should
have been the first thing that the casual Kill Tony
sampler had been exposed to. I don't think the casuals
got to minute eleven free press rights. The audience expects polish,
(10:54):
and it's unclear, though becoming clearer, whether the comedians who
found themselves in the mainstream are up to the challenge
of shining up. I've been mentioning I'm obsessed with Last
One Laughing UK on Amazon. There's only like six episodes,
so I'm watching one a night, but I am loving
it and it got me thinking, and I share this
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. Feel
(11:15):
encouraged to join us and join the conversation. I wondered
what Last One Laughing US might look like. My mind
keeps going to Bert Kreischer. I could picture Bert Kreischer
in that room, and if Bert's there, I could see
Sigura there. Another person I thought would play well in
that room is Sarah Silverman, because she does like to
work dirty, and some of the stuff from Lou Sanders
(11:37):
in the UK version made me imagine Sarah coming up
and whispering something very naughty in someone's ear and getting
a laugh. I started to think about who would be
a good host for this. My mind went to Conan
O'Brien would be fantastic. However, you know, at some point
there's a budget, right, so if you put Conan on top,
the show is really expensive to begin with. So I
(11:58):
don't know if this is really stick at all, but
you know, you could probably get Sigren Kracher to do
it for laugh Sarah seems like should be game. Aaron
in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group wrote,
I think Sarah Sherman would kill She's right, Sarah Sherman
would be perfect for that show. Aaron also suggested Mark Marin,
and I could see Mark Maron in the Richard ayoad
(12:19):
A tough nut to crack roll. Another name thrown out there,
Tracy Morgan. I think Tracy would be really good in
the room, and you could probably get Tracy anyway. Last
one laughing us. Somebody make this, will you. I gotta
tell you I'm really happy with today's show, because I'll
be honest, at one point I thought I had nothing,
and this is coming out really well. Let's head over
to Moontower. Many shows tonight, Morgan Jay is your headliner
(12:43):
at the Paramount Theater at seven. Morgan has a special
on Hulu coming up on Friday. There's actually too many
shows for me to tell you about one that caught
my eye. Also at seven o'clock at Antuon's New York's
Finest Friend of the show, John Marco Ciresi on that
Chloe Radcliffe, Isabelle Hagen, mohanad Elshiki and Nathan mcintoshi in finance,
Emil Wakim, Steph Dag Josh Adam Meyers, Sam Castillo. That's
(13:07):
a nice lineup. Maria Bamford's at the Thompson Theater also
at seven, Todd Barry at the State Theater, also at seven. Interestingly,
at seven point fifteen, a show called Cheers Queers also
has Ian Finance on the lineup, So apparently he's going
to run from one show to the other. I'm not
sure the distance between those two venues. The Moontower All
(13:27):
Stars at the Cap City Company Club Main Room at
eight o'clock features two former guests of this show, Matthew Bissarajar,
Marco Soresi and Ashima Franklin, who's never been on the show.
A show at eight point thirty is called s word
is Golden, so crap's golden. What's catching my eye here
is that the cover art for the show looks like
(13:49):
if you told chat gpt to make a cartoon of
a very old Mark Maron with gray hair. And the
person in question, who's a cartoon who's definitely not Mark
Maron with here has a podcast microphone, so that's interesting.
Lisa triggers at the Creek in the Cave at nine
point fifteen, and like ten other shows that didn't tell
(14:10):
you about, tomorrow is just as busy. And that's 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, like subscribe, thumbs up, alarm bell, all
that YouTube stuff that you YouTube people do, do it
all right, See you tomorrow,
