Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hello, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. The news
goes in waves. We're gonna get a lot of Pete
Davidson and Eddie Murphy as they have an Amazon movie
coming up. Now, we're getting a lot of Mark Maren
because he's got his special out on HBO on the
first plus the documentary, plus his podcast is coming to
an end, and he has revealed who he would like
to be the final guest. Maren said, if we could
(00:31):
get President Obama back, that would be good to give
us a little hope or some sense of reflection, ground
us a little bit. I could see Obama absolutely doing that.
That first Obama appearance. I actually use it in my
college classes if you listen to it as a podcaster.
When Obama first shows up, he's in President Obama mode,
but Maren gets him so comfortable. At one point, it's
(00:52):
just Barack hang out in a garage and they're just
having a real conversation. Then Obama gets back into presidential
mode and I got to get these points in but
in the middle there, it's beautiful how he just gets
him out of president politician mode and just a guy.
Whatever your politics are. It's a really interesting study of
the art of podcasting. Judy last week that there's a
bad blood between Maren and John Stewart, and Maren has
(01:14):
said he won't ask John again out of pride. Maren
weighed in on Colbert Gate, saying the timing was bad.
It seems there was a political element, at least an
appearance to a certain degree. The messages that if corporations
are going to buckle to the whims of an autocrat
and authoritarian, then all the art and what we know
is freedom of expression is compromised. The writing's on the
wall for late night in general because people don't watch
TV like that. I felt like a make sure both.
(01:34):
I don't think it's a complete fabrication that it was
a business decision, but the other part of it, in
terms of trying to piece of this monster president that
should not be done. Show business is shrinking. People are
entrepreneurial and building their own show businesses that eventually get
appropriated and used by what's left of mainstream show business
and streamers. Hopefully enough interest and focus will be put
on original productions film and television. You have to hope
for the best. Where everything just turns to garbage. Bobby
(01:56):
Lee was making some news a few days back. Again
with Colbert Gate and everything else going on, this got
a little bit buried, but he told Entertainment Weekly he
thinks the reason he wasn't asked back to the new
season of And Just Like That was due to the
removal of quote woke elements. His quote. They tried to
put minorities in, and I don't know, I never saw
the show. He had played Jackie Knee, the podcast co
(02:18):
host of Carrie Bradshaw I played of course by Sarah
Jessica Parker on the first two seasons of the Sex
and the City follow up series, but he wasn't asked
back for season three. Bobby Lee told EWO Comicon, some
of the woke elements of the show they got rid
of it, and I think that was part of that.
I think Sarah Ramirez didn't come back in some other people.
They tried to put minorities in, and I don't know,
I never saw the show. A few points out that
(02:39):
the subplot about Carrie's podcast had concluded at the end
of season two as she refocused on her new novel.
Bobby said he was surprised he was even on the
show to begin with, he said number one. I don't
even know why they asked, and I was super scared
to do it because it wasn't my brand, really, you
know what I mean. But I did it. I walked
through the fear. I remember going there being so high
and drunk, and when I was reading the script, I
couldn't even under what the f it was saying. I
(03:01):
remember saying to myself, this is never going to happen again.
I had to get sober. This is insane. Pete Davidson
spoke to Jimmy Fallon about Pete Davidson's favorite SNL backstage moment.
Pete told Jimmy, you know, when you go under the
paint cans, there's that little sign that says watch your
head Farley. They explained that to me in my first season.
I thought it was really cool. Pete explained, Chris Farley
used to bump his head when it would run the sketch,
(03:23):
so there's a little plaque that says watch your head Furley.
A little more information about the re Odd Comedy Festival
September twenty sixth through October ninth. The lineup will include
local and international comedians, including some names you know Andrew Schultz,
who was shocked to find out President Trump didn't go
through with everything that President Trump had promised. Bill Burr,
(03:43):
Gabriel Iglesias, Jessica Curson, Jim Jefferies, Jimmy Carr, Joe Coy
who once told a horrible joke about Taylor Swift. Should
we listen to it? Yeah, let's listen to it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
The big difference between the gold Gloves in the NFL.
On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Swift, Kevin Hart, Monster Brownie, Russell Peters, Sebastian Maniscalco, Whitney
Cummings' Zarna Gark. That's no joke. Margaret Cho is touring
her new show is called Choligarchy and explains my new show,
Chologarchy is bringing me back to my roots as a
political comedian. I'm so frustrated with the all caps state
of the Union, and I know the only weapon I
(04:27):
have is humor. I want to fight fascism with everything
I have. This will be my most blistering and brutally
on a show. Yet, let's tear down racism, homophobia, and
sexism with all that we have, Liza Trigger spoke to
Interview magazine. They were curious if she's always been into gossip.
Lisa said, it's like an immigrant thing. Once you're an outsider,
you do more observing. I didn't know what carry out
was or delivery. We don't do that, And then I'm
(04:48):
at my friend's house and we're getting hot dogs delivered
to the house, and I'm like, what is going on?
But I was also raised on Access Hollywood Entertainment Tonight
and that's weekly. My high school group was crazy. It
was just a bunch of really thin people calling each other.
And then I was in the corner being like, Okay,
I guess I'll jump off the bridge. Then I'll tell
someone everyone's mad at you and they don't like you.
Then they get kicked out of the group for being
a bitch. She talked about her previous specials The Half
(05:10):
Hour in Comedy Central on a half Hour on Netflix
as part of The Degenerates and said, and with those,
you're kind of playing the game. There's a teleprompter. I
had my jokes in order, I had my set list.
It felt like a pageant. That's not like I would
like to perform. So for the new special, I was
very specific, no set list. I knew how I was
starting and how it was ending. I wanted it to
be a night out in New York watching me do
stand up in a basement. People were eating mazzarella sticks,
(05:31):
people were drinking. That's how I love doing comedy. I
don't perform in theaters. You know, life does just keep
getting worse and worse. First Mark Marin announced he was
ending his podcast, and Stephen Colbert got fired, and now
Adam Sandler is talking about making even more sequels. Oh no,
there's talk of growing ups three, Sandler says. When it happens,
I've got to let you know. I just don't know
(05:52):
what we're doing right now, but we're trying to figure
out stuff. It would be fun. We're always thinking of
some stuff and trying to get us all together. I've
heard chatter. Oh no, oh, I mean, do I have
to remind everyone? Do I have to bust out yet
another Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore I review because I've got them.
Here's one from salon their headline. The sequel to the
beloved nineteen ninety six hit is a tip of tide
reminder that it's okay to move on. Salon writes, of
(06:15):
all the dirty, rotten, down low things Netflix has done,
providing a gaping pit of gold coins for Adam Sandler
to cannonball into like Scrooge McDuck, might be the worst
so far. Left to his own devices, Sandler's style of
comedy isn't exactly pleasant to ingest in massive quantities. The
comedian actor made a name for himself yelling, doing voices,
and playing instruments on Saturday Night Live. Juvenile humor was
(06:38):
rampant in the nineties, popular with kids and kids at heart,
for whom growing up was a Peter Pan level nightmare.
Saidlor's nineteen ninety five comedy Billy Madison is the most
flagrant example of this childish style, soapack with immature gags
that it threatens to burst, sending Nickelodeon green slime everywhere.
I like this, This is a good review. But as
I said yesterday, people have seen the light. I've been
(06:59):
out here by myself saying this, and people are coming
around now. Salon writes the one two punch of twenty
seventeen's The Myerwoitz Stories. In twenty nineteen's Uncut gems Leffy
was thinking that Sailor might be turning over a new leaf,
ready to flex his skills as a dramatic performer. That's right,
he's a great dramatic actor. More of that, Adam, please,
I'll go see your movies. But Salon writes Button twenty twenty,
(07:21):
Netflix and Happy Madison Inc. Another four film deal, meaning
that Sanilor would be tied to the streamer and it's
increasingly dour cinematic output just what Sailor was finally settled
into a more mature era. So people were giving Kathy
Griffin the business about how she looked she had posted
on Instagram. Just when he thought I was done, I
came back better than ever. In classic Griffin fashion, I'm
(07:44):
happy to announce two new upcoming shows this November find
me in the Glamorous Las Vegas November eighth and Anaheim
November twenty second. In the photo, she was smiling, showing
off a red, wavy hair of full bangs and a
glammed up look. This event titled New Face, New Tour.
In this scene to be response to a photo that
paparazzi took last month, Cathy was just out living her life.
(08:06):
Seen without her full bangs, sporting long natural hair. She
was dressed casually in a white T shirt. People on
social media commented and said, she definitely looks different. You know,
sometimes people just want to go to the store. As
someone who recently lived in Canada for was it five
days that I moved to Canada? I support Canadian comedy.
The producers of Letter Kenny. They are new Metric Media.
(08:28):
They are self funding, producing and distributing a slate of
stand up comedy albums specials known as the A List.
You know, like the Canadian stereotype of the go A.
So the A List will feature Kenny Robinson's of Brena, Douglas,
Ron Jossel, Rebecca Kohler, Jared Nathan, Kelly Taylor. The guy
behind this is Ben Minor. Now I know Ben because
he used to run Serious XM Comedy Canada or Serious
(08:51):
Comedy Canada maybe before the merger. I forget how that
all shook out. Anyway, I know Ben worked with Ben.
Like Ben, congratulations Ben. We used to like working with
the Canadian as we call them down in New York City.
Anytime we went up to Canada, they would let us
use their facilities and they were pretty cool guys. Ben
Miner says New Metric is a world class one stop
shop for Canadian comedians and our new stand up and
podcast division lives up to the successes we've had on
(09:14):
the scripted side with Letter, Kenny Shorsey and some other stuff.
These six comedians are absolute humdingers and room rocking stand ups.
Let's continue to support Canadian comedy. The Toronto Guardian caught
up with Devon Henderson. Devin describes her comedy style as
very cerebral until I decided to start screaming. Her influence
is the cast of early two thousands SSNL. Tina Fey,
(09:34):
Amy Poehler, Mya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, etc. Probably did the
most to shape my sense of humor. If Tina Fey
never existed, I would not be doing this right now.
It's impossible to overstate how influential she was for me.
Her favorite way to find out about new comedians. I
love this answer, she said, Do I sound like Father Time?
If I say live shows, I don't have TikTok. I
love to stand at the back of the comedy boarn
(09:55):
and be surprised by a comedian I've never seen before. Amen,
Devin nice Jo by the La Comedy Club at the
Strat Hotel, Casino and Tower. They're trying to get you
to adopt local shelter pets. You should. I have two
dogs right now and they are both shelter pets. I've
got nothing but shelter pets since nineteen eighty one. Before that,
I didn't have any pets. From now until the end
(10:16):
of the summer, individuals who adopt a pet from the
Animal Foundation, we'll receive a complimentary pair of tickets to
an upcoming LA Comedy Club show. LA Comedy Club dot
com information there. This is going on through August twenty eighth,
and from Cruisehive dot com, you're home for comedy news.
Apparently a recent guest on the Carnival cruise line there
(10:37):
didn't like the comedy show. They complained to John Heeld.
Apparently mister Heald's job is to listen to your complaints.
The complaints said the entertainment was great, with the exception
of the eighteen plus comedy. We couldn't believe what both
comedian entertainers brought up incredibly inappropriate for any age. You
did hear the part where I just said that the
guest said it was an eighteen plus comedy. Clearly an
(11:00):
eighteen plus comedy and the guest clearly understand that, but
incredibly inappropriate for any age. The first comedian opened up
with the F word and within the next five minutes
dropped it at least three times. It was racist and
it was cruel. I cannot believe that everyone stayed and
listened to this filth. Mister Healda did not identify the performer,
but said it's one of Carnival's star performers. The guest said,
(11:22):
in my opinion, he should be fired. Politics, sexual connotations,
and the use of the F bomb has no place
on a so called family cruise line. All right, so
it's a comedy show. You don't want us to do
politics or sex or use the language. I'll meet you
halfway on the language. But what do you want? Knock
not jokes? Mister heald explained being a comedian twenty twenty
five is one heck of a difficult profession in comedy,
(11:44):
most jokes or at someone's expense, whether it's Hardy bullying.
Laurel might want a more updated reference there, I mean,
what did Laurel and Hardy last put something? Out. I'm
looking that up. Can we please update our references a little.
Wikipedia tells me they were active from nineteen twenty seven
to nineteen fifty five. Can we find something that's a
little more current than seventy years ago? Now, Whether it's
(12:08):
Hardy bullying Laurel Jerry dropping a bowling ball on Tom's
head so Tom and Jerry cartoon's been a minute there,
or me making a job about something in the news,
or indeed my weight and my ugliness, the laugh comes
at a cost to a victim. The nitty gritty of
this is simple, though. Our adult comedy shows are uncensored.
If you're in any doubt, please simply don't go now. Apparently,
(12:29):
the Punchlineer Comedy Club makes announcements before each R rated
show that the content may not appeal to all guests.
There was also a sign saying the show is adults only.
The guest admits that they did leave the show. Mister
healed said that was probably the best decision. If you
don't like a joke, comedian says on one of our stages,
please don't demand, don't write on the boards telling them
(12:49):
that mister and missus funny Bone be fired. Go to
something that brings you happiness and joy and a sense
of fun. And that is your comedy news for today.

Like Ben, congratulations Ben. We used to like working with
the Canadian as we call them down in New York City.
Anytime we went up to Canada, they would let us
use their facilities and they were pretty cool guys. Ben
Miner says New Metric is a world class one stop
shop for Canadian comedians and our new stand up and
podcast division lives up to the successes we've had on
(09:14):
the scripted side with Letter, Kenny Shorsey and some other stuff.
These six comedians are absolute humdingers and room rocking stand ups.
Let's continue to support Canadian comedy. The Toronto Guardian caught
up with Devon Henderson. Devin describes her comedy style as
very cerebral until I decided to start screaming. Her influence
is the cast of early two thousands SSNL. Tina Fey,
(09:34):
Amy Poehler, Mya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, etc. Probably did the
most to shape my sense of humor. If Tina Fey
never existed, I would not be doing this right now.
It's impossible to overstate how influential she was for me.
Her favorite way to find out about new comedians. I
love this answer, she said, Do I sound like Father Time?
If I say live shows, I don't have TikTok. I
love to stand at the back of the comedy boarn
(09:55):
and be surprised by a comedian I've never seen before. Amen,
Devin nice Jo by the La Comedy Club at the
Strat Hotel, Casino and Tower. They're trying to get you
to adopt local shelter pets. You should. I have two
dogs right now and they are both shelter pets. I've
got nothing but shelter pets since nineteen eighty one. Before that,
I didn't have any pets. From now until the end
(10:16):
of the summer, individuals who adopt a pet from the
Animal Foundation, we'll receive a complimentary pair of tickets to
an upcoming LA Comedy Club show. LA Comedy Club dot
com information there. This is going on through August twenty eighth,
and from Cruisehive dot com, you're home for comedy news.
Apparently a recent guest on the Carnival cruise line there
(10:37):
didn't like the comedy show. They complained to John Heeld.
Apparently mister Heald's job is to listen to your complaints.
The complaints said the entertainment was great, with the exception
of the eighteen plus comedy. We couldn't believe what both
comedian entertainers brought up incredibly inappropriate for any age. You
did hear the part where I just said that the
guest said it was an eighteen plus comedy. Clearly an
(11:00):
eighteen plus comedy and the guest clearly understand that, but
incredibly inappropriate for any age. The first comedian opened up
with the F word and within the next five minutes
dropped it at least three times. It was racist and
it was cruel. I cannot believe that everyone stayed and
listened to this filth. Mister Healda did not identify the performer,
but said it's one of Carnival's star performers. The guest said,
(11:22):
in my opinion, he should be fired. Politics, sexual connotations,
and the use of the F bomb has no place
on a so called family cruise line. All right, so
it's a comedy show. You don't want us to do
politics or sex or use the language. I'll meet you
halfway on the language. But what do you want? Knock
not jokes? Mister heald explained being a comedian twenty twenty
five is one heck of a difficult profession in comedy,
(11:44):
most jokes or at someone's expense, whether it's Hardy bullying.
Laurel might want a more updated reference there, I mean,
what did Laurel and Hardy last put something? Out. I'm
looking that up. Can we please update our references a little.
Wikipedia tells me they were active from nineteen twenty seven
to nineteen fifty five. Can we find something that's a
little more current than seventy years ago? Now, Whether it's
(12:08):
Hardy bullying Laurel Jerry dropping a bowling ball on Tom's
head so Tom and Jerry cartoon's been a minute there,
or me making a job about something in the news,
or indeed my weight and my ugliness, the laugh comes
at a cost to a victim. The nitty gritty of
this is simple, though. Our adult comedy shows are uncensored.
If you're in any doubt, please simply don't go now. Apparently,
(12:29):
the Punchlineer Comedy Club makes announcements before each R rated
show that the content may not appeal to all guests.
There was also a sign saying the show is adults only.
The guest admits that they did leave the show. Mister
healed said that was probably the best decision. If you
don't like a joke, comedian says on one of our stages,
please don't demand, don't write on the boards telling them
(12:49):
that mister and missus funny Bone be fired. Go to
something that brings you happiness and joy and a sense
of fun. And that is your comedy news for today.
