Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callarogas Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Normal episodes through the holiday, including tomorrow. I have got
a great piece from Jonathan Kite for you tomorrow. Hello,
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Maga comedian
Shane Gillis. I don't know why the headlines call him
maga comedian, but Mega comedian Shane Gillis thinks President Donald
Trump is approaching quote Biden brain territory. There was a
conversation on Matt and Shane's Secret podcast. Matt asked, Shane,
(00:33):
you think he's getting dementia. Shane responded, I mean, I
don't know. He just seems a little slower than usual.
McCusker said their speculation that tea dog might be rocking
Biden brains. Gillis said he's definitely not at Biden brains yet,
but he's circling the dream. Shane also felt the quiet
Piggy line was effing crazy. It's pretty wild. I just
can't think of how embarrassed that lady must have been.
Friend of the show, Jason Zeniman, he writes for The
(00:54):
New York Times, he went to see Louis c. K
under the headline a meditative Louis c. K take the stage.
Don't call it a comeback. Louis c K plays concerts
all over the world, from the Riod Comedy Festival to
the Beacon Theater in Manhattan. We're told c K said
you can live a great life, but you're still alive
after that part. Apparently a big chunk of this set
is about aging getting older. Jason writes, what's faded in
(01:17):
the memory is that Louis was once treated like a
secular saint. The word genius was frequently thrown around. Critics
bent over backward to interpret his sick jokes as the
work of a progressive philosopher King This was always a stretch.
Louis c K has always been far more committed to
exploring discomforting thoughts and forbidden territory than in advocating any
position he still is. The anxiety and fluster that powered
so much of his work has been replaced by a
(01:39):
disarming equanimity when he evokes the darkest subjects. The biggest
twist might be that he rarely approaches any with anger.
Jason adds what has most diminished as Louis ci K's
social commenter, his new hour is almost aggressively anti topical
what has replaced it is a bit surprising. C K
is now fixated on faith, mentioning religion in every special
post cancelation, even breaking out a Bible in one bit.
(02:00):
It might seem like an odd shift since he remains
a committed non believer. Jason end's with here Louis c
K showed us the upside of living a long time.
It meant that he could not only develop his craft,
but also the confidence of taking a risk and pulling
it off. Lengthy piece in the New York Times, and
you should always read Jason's inman pieces. Sebastian Maniscalco told
Good Morning America that SNL asked him to be part
(02:20):
of the Marcelo Hernandez sketch. Sebastian explained, I couldn't because
I was doing a show in Palm Springs. I'd love
to host SNL. If people out there are listening, I'd
like to do SNL. If Lauren's watching, I could see
him hosting SNL. That seems pretty close to a no brainer.
Maybe you have Marsello bust that impression out one more time.
And then he asked Sebastian a host in the spring sometime.
That's not crazy talk. Maniscalco likes the impression. Listen, it's
(02:44):
very flattering that he did that. I thought he did
a great job. Obviously, you know it was really over
the top.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Was it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I'm not sure you've seen your own trailer. Obviously, you
know was really over the top, which made it funnier.
Cam Batterson, who's going to wind up doing one year
of SNL SIS Johnny Mack has wisely scheduled a comedy
to our forty four dates around the country January through June,
during weeks off from SNL, and then after June he'll
probably have lots and lots of weeks off from SNL,
just saying do you watch the show?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I do?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
What? Has?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He had? Four lines? Cam Patterson will visit sixteen cities,
offering three night stints in most cities. Kevin Hart dropped
a special on Netflix. He also went on the Diary
of a CEO podcast, a lengthy interview. I haven't listened
to it yet, but I did read the transcript. Kevin
Heart said, I'm a very driven individual, and I'm driven
off ideation. I like the fact that they can have
thoughts and if you're in love with the thoughts that
(03:32):
you're having, you can be energized to bring those thoughts
into a bigger reality. That's the real fuel to the
brain for me. I mean, there's no success without failure.
They go hand in hand, and with the failure comes
amazing lessons, adjustments, and he gets sharper because of the
stuff you've done wrong or you didn't know it to
approach a certain way that now you know how to approach.
So I embrace the concept of failure just as much
as I embrace the win of success. I feel like
I'm doing a service of good. If I can make
(03:54):
people feel better, if I can brighten up your day,
it's a service of good. It means I'm like a
shepherd of some sort. I'm responsible for making people feel better.
Robbie Hoffman has a premier date for her Netflix special.
It's called Wake Up. It is notably directed by John Mulaney.
Mail a lot of attention to Robbie Hoffman when this
got announced and I was putting together the show I
host on Live One, which is called the Weekly Comedy Thing.
(04:14):
It's like this except a lot less me. But I
can also play stand up clips. So if I were
telling you the story, I would play a clip by
Robbie Hoffman here on this show. I really can't do that,
but I dusted off my own knowledge of Robbie Hoffman.
I was like, oh yeah, all right, okay, so that's
a hint for this week's comedy stock Market, get on
the Robbie Hoffman trade, I'm telling you. John mulaney apparently agrees.
He's directing Wake Up, which will be on Netflix December fourteenth.
(04:37):
Now a sidebar here. Everybody's putting out the specials too late.
I'm working with a publicist who's gonna share my list
of the top specials, and my homework's due December thirteenth,
So there's like this one. It's a Gora Gervais. They're
all coming out too late. Come on, people, Johnny Maxx
Top twenty five of the first eleven and a half months.
Robbie Hoffman taped the special at the Masonic Lodge back
(05:00):
in October. In a statement, John mlaney said, Robie Hoffman
makes me laugh until I'm delirious. No one has owned
a stage like her since James Brown. I'm extremely proud
to be part of her Netflix debut, but moreover, extremely
lucky that I got to spend so much time with
this brilliant lunatic. Patton Oswalds had some opinions on the
intersection of politics and comedy, and you know that notable
politician dude, I'll let bat and explain it. Johnny mackbot here,
(05:23):
john forgot to credit CNN.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I think that's I mean, you know, not to get
too inflated, but comedy is clearly crucial because there's so
much attention being put on it. It clearly means something
to people, and it clearly can help. I don't think
comedy can topple a dictator, but it can definitely kind
of make things safer for the people that are trying
(05:47):
to topple the dictator and kind of help focus public opinions.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
So yeah, it is. I mean, it really says something.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
When the when the Nazis annexed Vienna, the first people
they went after were the cabaret performers, you know, the
all of the all the all the cafe, the simplicitous performers.
They wanted those guys quiet first, because they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Want them They they don't like being made fun of.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Because also when you when you embrace authoritarians, authoritarianism, part
of that is I'm I reject the chaos and the
uncertainty of the world, which a comedian can actually embrace
and go, Yeah, things are nuts and I can help
us do it.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And they want no. I don't want any surprises. I
don't want to wrong. I want everything to be fine.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
So when they that's the first thing they got to
get rid of, you know, because it is very to
quote the show and or an authoritarian authoritarian regime is very,
very fragile.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Daryl Hammond spoke to e W about his portrayal of
the Lads. Dick Cheney. Arrel said, I was fortunate enough
to be invited to the Vice President's mansion a couple
of times to meet the family. I think I had
six occasions that I spent a few minutes with him.
On one occasion, I went to the Greenbrier Hotel in
the basement. You know, that's the place they were going
to ride out World War three, that bunker. You ever
watched those documentaries, Look up Greenbrier. It's pretty interesting. He
(07:03):
had all his Republican colleagues there and I dressed up
as Bill Clinton and insulted them all. That was his idea.
So there's Darryl Hammond who's dressed up as Bill Clinton,
and he says, I'm attempting to shake Cheney's hand and
he's shrinking in revulsion. Like I said, the guy had
a sense of humor. And while we're being somewhat political,
Tignazarro has opened up about the end of her friendship
with Cheryl Hines over the politics of Cheryl's husband, Robert F.
(07:25):
Kennedy Junior. On tig Nataro's Handsome podcast, she told her
co hosts, I didn't sever the friendship, but I did
notice that once he was running for president. Once I
stepped away from her old podcast, I never heard from
her again. Out on the eight hundred Bound Gorilla Today
or Styla's Green. Meanwhile, on The Great British Bake Off,
the cast of Peep Show will reunite David Mitchell, Olivia Coleman, Gessi,
(07:49):
Sudie Matt King and Sophie Winkelman, who's part of the
royal family, which is how I found this. I wasn't
prepping the comedy show. I was prepping The Palace Intrigue,
which I'm the writer for, where we talk about the
royal family palace in wherever you get your podcasts, Yeah,
Sophie Winkelman, or to you, Lady Frederick windsor or to
me big Sus from peep Show. I'm not a British subject.
I don't care anyway. All of those folks will take
(08:11):
part in this year's festive episode of The Great British Bakeoff.
It's their first on screen appearance since the sitcom ended
in twenty fifteen, notably absent Robert Webb, who co starred
the series with David Mitchell. No air day yet. Peep Show,
if you've never watched it. My daughter actually stumbled across
it and hit me up on the side, was like,
have you ever seen peep Show? And I was like,
(08:32):
are you kidding me? I think it's on Hulu right now,
she said, And let me get out my just watch
tea now about just watch? Just watch app is great?
Hold on? Oh wait, I almost accidentally supported fascism. I mean, yes,
it's on Hulu, but you know, don't do that. Buy
some DVDs and watch it that way. Don't just push
that green Hulu button on your Rokuo remote and be
like it's Thanksgiving weekend, Johnny Max s d this show's good.
(08:52):
I'm gonna watch Peep Show on Hulu. No no, no,
no no, you get yourself some DVDs. Hey, look I
just clicked on something. Amazon will sell you episode in
standard death for ninety nine cents. That's how you prove
you're not a fascist. You spend a dollar for one
episode of standard definition instead of just pushing that green
button on your Roku remote. And I'm gonna leave you
with this. I can't even do the bit today about
(09:14):
jay Leno because look, he's so genuine with this. I
know you all hate him because he has an opinion
about late night television. What does he know? I really
can't do the bit today. He was on the Today Show.
He was talking about Mavis, his wife hes dementia. Jaye
talked about making Mavis laugh and he told a joke.
Obviously jay Leno would tell a joke better than I would,
but the joke reads last night. I said to her.
(09:35):
A guy goes to the doctor. The doctor says, what's
the matter? Guy says, when I press here, it hurts.
When I press on my shoulder, it hurts. When I
press my knee cap, it hurts. When I press my ripcage,
it hurts. The doc goes, you've got a broken finger.
That got a laugh out of Mavis, and Jay said,
if I was a doctor, I'd say the patient's doing well.
Put it that way. Jay says he always brings up
old and fond memories to Mavis. He says, when I'm
(09:56):
carrying her to the bathroom, I call her Jay and
Mavis to the prom in high school rocker back and forth,
and she thinks that's funny. Hod of the host was
curious how Mavis shows Jay that she loves him. Jay said, well,
by saying it, I could see it in the smile.
I could tell when she's happy. So that's really it.
And as someone who is doing show business, I go
home and I get an audience reaction every night. I
please the person I'm entertaining when she looks at me
(10:16):
and smiles and says she loves me, I melt. Jay
shared that Mavis used to love traveling and he figured
out a way to explore with her. Jay said, you
reach this point in your life where she loves to travel,
and I'm so sad she can't do those things. But
there's so much stuff on YouTube, the travel stuff, and
we watch those things and the animal shows real big
with the flash cards. Not flash cards, but see this picture.
See this picture. She says, who's that? That's President Obama
(10:38):
And she says, no, I never met him. Yeah, honey,
you did. We had dinner with him at his house,
the White House, and then we laugh. Jay said, is
he takes his vows seriously? Clearly does quoting Jay. Now
she really needs me and I like that, and I
could tell she appreciates it. The idea that you get married,
you take these vows. Nobody ever thinks you'd be called
upon them to act on them. That part for better
or worse, but even the worst isn't bad. Enjoy her company.
(11:00):
If I'm working on a car, she'd sit over there
with a book and read. It was just very well,
still is very comfortable. Before she had this, I'd go
home after the tonight's show, cooked dinner and watch TV.
The only difference is now you can't really talk about
a lot of those things. That guy's the worst. Right,
normal episode tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving. I'll see there
Callarogas Shark Media.

please the person I'm entertaining when she looks at me
(10:16):
and smiles and says she loves me, I melt. Jay
shared that Mavis used to love traveling and he figured
out a way to explore with her. Jay said, you
reach this point in your life where she loves to travel,
and I'm so sad she can't do those things. But
there's so much stuff on YouTube, the travel stuff, and
we watch those things and the animal shows real big
with the flash cards. Not flash cards, but see this picture.
See this picture. She says, who's that? That's President Obama
(10:38):
And she says, no, I never met him. Yeah, honey,
you did. We had dinner with him at his house,
the White House, and then we laugh. Jay said, is
he takes his vows seriously? Clearly does quoting Jay. Now
she really needs me and I like that, and I
could tell she appreciates it. The idea that you get married,
you take these vows. Nobody ever thinks you'd be called
upon them to act on them. That part for better
or worse, but even the worst isn't bad. Enjoy her company.
(11:00):
If I'm working on a car, she'd sit over there
with a book and read. It was just very well,
still is very comfortable. Before she had this, I'd go
home after the tonight's show, cooked dinner and watch TV.
The only difference is now you can't really talk about
a lot of those things. That guy's the worst. Right,
normal episode tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving. I'll see there
