Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media. Man. I love doing this show. Hi.
I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy News. Our leadof
story today involves a fight, and I enjoy a good fight.
This from pract dot com. Apparently a former Saturday Night
Live intern caught Michael Chay's attension. The former intern posted
(00:26):
an Instagram reel exposing the shows behind the scenes culture
of manipulation. Now, I just want to point out I
don't want to beat up on this person, who I
think is younger than I am. But the person does
share a surname with me. So if you look up
the story and yourself, I do not know this person.
I am not related to this person. I have never
(00:47):
met a person who does share a surname with me
who has this particular first name. So I have no
association with this person. But I don't want to say
their name because I just want to do the story
and not like really beat up on this person, who
I disagree with a lot of the opinions here. As
you're about to hear, the former Saturday Night Live intern
(01:08):
spilled the tea, repeating damning accusations against the show that
made by plenty of others. Okay, well, wonder what happens?
What is the tea? She says, Hey, you want to
know why SNL has so much turnover? She blames Lorne Michaels.
No way, the showrunner of Saturday Night Live is responsible
for cast turnovers. Holy cow wow, she says. Loren Michaels
(01:30):
loves power, and he loves creating emotional crises. Sees in
the lives of people who are younger than him. Lauren's eighty.
Everybody's younger than him. The former intern says, Ooh, it's
creepy when you think about it. She says that it's
nuts that accomplished comedian should sit on the floor of
Lorne Michael's office to pitch ideas, with Lorne deciding which
sketches make the cut. Really, what's crazy about that? Have
(01:53):
you never worked in a bullpen? I've worked at radio stations.
I ran a comedy radio station. We had a bullpen.
We called it the bullpen. You go in, if there's
a cherry, you grab one. Maybe you'll lean up against
a desk, Maybe you sit on a floor. That's what
you do. You weren't Saturday Night Live? What did you
want him to have? How are we supposed to pitch sketches.
Should we stand? Should we bring folding chairs with us? Like?
(02:15):
What is the proper method to pitch sketches? To the
showrunner of the show, this is crazy cracked, quotes the
former in turn and saying, guess what he built the
process in the seventies. It's an insane workflow that requires
lots of caffeine at least to survive. Your mind and
your body are going to break down. People go off
on the deep end of the place all the time.
(02:35):
You don't sleep for literally years of your life, which
is a torture tactic. Now, now that's not true. I'm
not a medical expert, but I'm pretty sure I'm confident here.
If you did not sleep for literally years, Like if
right now you said, Johnny Mackham, calling your bluff, it's
twenty twenty five. I'm not going to sleep for years
as plural, so we'll make that too. I'm not going
to sleep until November of twenty twenty seven. I would say, oh, yeah,
(02:56):
you're going to die. Please don't do that. I don't
want you to die. Appreciate listening to the podcast. Please
at some point in the next two years, literally sleep,
The former intern says, you can't have sustainable friendships outside
of that place for years at a time, for the
duration of your time there. It's kind of like a cult. Crack, says.
The former intern says she has a degree in comedy
(03:17):
from NYU's Film School. The intern claims SNL asked her
to interview after her senior year, but she turned them
down and said you would know my name by now.
Cracked editorializes note to former intern, nobody knows the name
of SNL's writers. All this was noticed by Michael Chay,
who jumped in on the comments. Michael Ja posted you
learned all that getting coffee? Oh. The intern responded, it's
(03:41):
incredible what people reveal in front of you when they
treat you like you're invisible. Chase shot back, doesn't sound
bitter at all. The intern, rather than folding, goes back
in and says, I'm genuinely not. Chay responded yep, yep, yep,
and apparently they kept going back and forth. Fans on
Reddit believed that Michael Jay was truly one user. He's
(04:01):
doing it for fun. His entire Instagram persona is being
an edge lord. Another editor said, honestly, you learned all
that by getting coffee is such a great line that
I don't see how Jay could resist. Speaking of Saturday
Night Live, Eddie Murphy, he's been in the press lately.
Did you see the documentary in it? Eddie Murphy explained
it was Lorne Michael's idea to ask Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle,
and Tracy Morgan to join in Eddie Murphy's monologue. Boy,
(04:23):
this Lauren Michael's person just sounds horrible. Chris Rock said
the Eddie Murphy return episode went so well that he
told Lauren Michaels it was one of the greatest SNLS ever.
And I walked over to Lauren Michaels when it was
over and I said, you should quit right now. It's
not getting any better than this. I think Chris Rock
has been right. Has there been a better episode since
that episode? Now? There's been some good ones. Firstly, I
(04:44):
think the time to get out was SNL fifty and
eighty years old. I think everybody would have been like,
good job. Josh Johnson tells Billboard Every Tuesday I post
a new set. Sometimes it's extremely topical or political, and
sometimes it's more cultural pop. I really love doing it.
We premiere live every Tuesday at nine pm and hop
in the chat, meet other people and have good conversation
with everybody. Then the sets are available for free and
(05:04):
YouTube for the rest of time. Billboard was curious, you've
been to a writer since twenty seventeen. At what point
did you think I want to be on camera? Josh said,
it wasn't something I was gunning for years and years.
It started to set in as I got more comfortable
with the show. I was having great time writing for
everyone on the show that's been years past, and I felt,
all right, this could be a cool move and I
could write material for myself when I'm hosting. Do you
feel like you're performing a public service? Josh said, I
(05:26):
can only speak for myself. I very much appreciate that
people love and enjoy what I do, but I think
the people doing public service are doing real public service.
I don't want to conflate making TV with making change.
At the end of the day, it's a comedy show.
There are plenty of people out there doing their best
to change things, whether it's in their local community, their state,
their world. The best I could do is raise awareness
of who they are and what they're doing. The Wall
Street Journal asked Louis ck, Hey, Louis c K, when
(05:47):
you got in trouble, some people wrote you off for good.
That's exactly how the guy at the Wall Street Journal
phrased it when they talked to c K, exactly in
the tone I just did it. That was a perfect impression.
You should have been in the room for the fans.
It's stuck around 's Some were disappointed that you didn't
dig deeper into the roots of your behavior. Did you
consider doing a special devoted to that, Louis c K.
(06:07):
Louis said, well, that's suches on some really tender stuff
for me, and it's hard to talk about. One of
the fundamental aspects of an experience like that is that
your life departs other people's ability to understand it. There's
a gap there, a gap of how much people can
understand what I'm going through. There's some things that people
will probably wish I wouldn't have done or said, maybe
I just wasn't good enough, maybe I just wasn't strong enough.
Maybe they want to hear more about it, but not
everybody does. Also, maybe it's none of your effing business
(06:30):
why I can't. These are the things that go through
your head. I don't want to displease anybody. It's hard
to know that there's people who feel disappointed, but you
know the feeling's mutual. I could see the strain in
someone's face who wishes for more, and I can understand it.
There's only so much I can do about it and
take good care of myself and my family and people
who love me. By the way, for a special I
did coming back, had a huge joke about it. C
K said, I'm not like a guy who breaks down
on stage. I got to do my job up there.
(06:52):
When I return to work, it was like, how many
people are willing to just watch me a crap ton?
That's more important to me. There may be a day
when I talk about things more. I did an interview
with THEO and said a lot more than I expected to,
and it felt really good. I listened to that episode.
I actually didn't make it to the end. I just
the part of the street they were hanging out on.
I just didn't want to hang out on. But I'm
glad they enjoyed it. SEEK said, but I don't read
(07:13):
what people say anymore. I don't read the internet. My
phone is extremely restricted. I threw the keys Away out
today on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube channel. It
is the eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube channel. Premiere of
Josh Wolfe's Four Stories. Kathy Griffin was on The Good
Guys podcast and said she had her third facelift. Now
it's really easy to just be like, oh yeah, Kathy
(07:34):
had her third face lift. Let's just step the break
for a second. Kathy Griffin had a third facelift. So
she had a facelift, then had another face lift, and
then had another facelift. Kathy Griffin told the hosts, I'm
no beauty, but he did a good job. I went
to Chris Jenner's Last Guy, but it was not cheap.
(07:54):
They asked her how much facelift number three was. Do
you want to guess? I'll give you second here, you
guess how much was facelift number three. Facelift number three
was two hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. Kathy Griffin described
getting stitches in my eyelids with a cat eye stitch
to lift the corners. She also had a stitch in
her chin. Kathy explained, I actually think when you're a
(08:16):
chick comedian, they just go for your looks. I think
that's probably why Joe Nervis did so much, because she
was really pretty. I'm from a generation where agents thought
nothing back of the day of saying stuff like, yeah,
they loved your audition, but they're going to go attractive sorry,
or with a nose job, you might have a chance.
So I went and got a nose job. Hey, let
me in on this one. I've wanted to get to
this one. I've got a little room today. This from
(08:36):
AOL dot com Johnny Mack, did you prep the show
in nineteen ninety six? No, ap Pearly there's still AOL
dot com. And this came up in the course of
my travels. Fifteen comedians everyone had a crush on in
the nineteen sixties to two thousands. Okay, let's count that out.
The sixties, the seventies, the eighties, the nineties, and the zeros,
so fifty years of comedians. And these are the fifteen comedians.
(09:00):
Remember I said the word comedians. Here the fifteen comedians
everyone had a crush on in the nineteen sixties to
the two thousands. Ready, here we go. Here's what AOL
dot com says. I'm not sure how these are ordered,
but they did have a Number one here, Robin Williams.
I was a boy when Mork and Mindy came out.
I don't remember people having a crush on Robin Williams.
(09:22):
But you know, he's not the worst looking person I've
ever seen, so okay, fine. Number two Lucille Ball. Now
this is the sixties to the two thousands. Did people
have a crush on Lucy especially like in the eighties
old Lucy with the cigarette voice. Now the very young
Lucille Ball. Nice looking lady, but I love Lucy's from
(09:42):
the fifties and the aol dot com article are the
fifteen comedians. Everyone, not just some people. Everyone had a
crush on in nineteen sixties to the two thousands. I'm
not slagging on Lucille Ball born in nineteen eleven, so
in nineteen sixty which is part of the aol dot
com article here, Lucy Ball was post I Love Lucy
and forty nine years old at a time when people
(10:04):
aged a little older than they do now. If you
want proof of that, watch the movie Diamonds Are Forever.
I say this quite seriously. If you gave me six months,
I would get myself in shape, get myself a suit,
and I would look as good as Sean Connery does
in Diamonds or Forever. Seawan does not look great in
that movie. He's only thirty nine years old, and at
(10:24):
fifty six, I can get myself in Diamonds for Forever Shape.
Can I get myself into Doctor Noe Sean Connery? Shape?
Absolutely not. With Sean Connery the sexiest man alive in
the eighties, he sure was. That's the thing that happened
nineteen eighty nine, Sean Connery was fifty nine years old.
But I'm not talking about fifty nine year old Shan Connery.
I'm talking about thirty nine year old Diamonds Forever Sean Connery.
Watch the film or just google it. He looks fifty
(10:47):
six years old anyway. Number two on the AOL list
Lucy ol Ball forty nine years old or perhaps older again,
nuts slagging on her, just saying this is a This
is a list, and we're not done with the list yet.
Continuing the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush on in
the nineteen sixties to the two thousand, so for we
have Robin Williams and Lucille Ball, Eddie Murphy I was
(11:09):
around in the eighties. Eddie Murphy hilarious. I don't remember
people having a crush on Eddie Murphy, but again, maybe
I just misremember. Number four Bill Murray. I think people
did have a crush on Bill Murray. So yeah, Tina Fay,
people did have crushes on Tina Fey, so I think
that's fair. Number six Steve Martin, I don't remember that.
I remember Steve being like a really big comedy star
(11:29):
for a while there before he picked up the banjo
and became an actor. But again, I was young. I
want to argue with you. Number seven Jim Carrey. Okay,
you know I'm a straight dude, but I could see it.
He was in a nice picture of young Jim Carrey. Sure.
Number eight Goldie Hawn. Absolutely, who didn't love Goldie Hawn?
I'm not sure. I think of her as a comedian,
comedic actress, Sure, fantastic. Who doesn't like Goldie Hawn? So
(11:50):
that's a little out there to me. Chevy Chase, Now,
I know, as Chevy Chase aged, he got a bit
of a reputation, But I could see in the seventies
people being into Chevy Chase. I don't think that's ridiculous.
Continuing the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush on in
the nineteen sixties two to the two thousands. Number ten,
Carol Burnett, they say, a heartwarming icon whose kindness and
(12:11):
goofiness made everyone feel at home. She didn't just make
people laugh, she made them feel loved. Carol Burnett, number ten,
Number eleven on the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush
on John Candy. Sure, absolutely, who didn't have a crush
on John Candy? Number twelve, the great dramatic actor Adam
Sandler thirteen, Gilda Radner fourteen, Ellen DeGeneres. And we've gone
(12:35):
a long way for a joke here, but number fifteen
Jerry Seinfeld. I don't remember anyone having a crush on
Jerry Seinfeld, except maybe perhaps a seventeen year old girl.
And that's your comedy news for today by
Callaroga Shark Media. Man. I love doing this show. Hi.
I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy News. Our leadof

in Diamonds or Forever. Seawan does not look great in
that movie. He's only thirty nine years old, and at
(10:24):
fifty six, I can get myself in Diamonds for Forever Shape.
Can I get myself into Doctor Noe Sean Connery? Shape?
Absolutely not. With Sean Connery the sexiest man alive in
the eighties, he sure was. That's the thing that happened
nineteen eighty nine, Sean Connery was fifty nine years old.
But I'm not talking about fifty nine year old Shan Connery.
I'm talking about thirty nine year old Diamonds Forever Sean Connery.
Watch the film or just google it. He looks fifty
(10:47):
six years old anyway. Number two on the AOL list
Lucy ol Ball forty nine years old or perhaps older again,
nuts slagging on her, just saying this is a This
is a list, and we're not done with the list yet.
Continuing the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush on in
the nineteen sixties to the two thousand, so for we
have Robin Williams and Lucille Ball, Eddie Murphy I was
(11:09):
around in the eighties. Eddie Murphy hilarious. I don't remember
people having a crush on Eddie Murphy, but again, maybe
I just misremember. Number four Bill Murray. I think people
did have a crush on Bill Murray. So yeah, Tina Fay,
people did have crushes on Tina Fey, so I think
that's fair. Number six Steve Martin, I don't remember that.
I remember Steve being like a really big comedy star
(11:29):
for a while there before he picked up the banjo
and became an actor. But again, I was young. I
want to argue with you. Number seven Jim Carrey. Okay,
you know I'm a straight dude, but I could see it.
He was in a nice picture of young Jim Carrey. Sure.
Number eight Goldie Hawn. Absolutely, who didn't love Goldie Hawn?
I'm not sure. I think of her as a comedian,
comedic actress, Sure, fantastic. Who doesn't like Goldie Hawn? So
(11:50):
that's a little out there to me. Chevy Chase, Now,
I know, as Chevy Chase aged, he got a bit
of a reputation, But I could see in the seventies
people being into Chevy Chase. I don't think that's ridiculous.
Continuing the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush on in
the nineteen sixties two to the two thousands. Number ten,
Carol Burnett, they say, a heartwarming icon whose kindness and
(12:11):
goofiness made everyone feel at home. She didn't just make
people laugh, she made them feel loved. Carol Burnett, number ten,
Number eleven on the fifteen comedians everyone had a crush
on John Candy. Sure, absolutely, who didn't have a crush
on John Candy? Number twelve, the great dramatic actor Adam
Sandler thirteen, Gilda Radner fourteen, Ellen DeGeneres. And we've gone
(12:35):
a long way for a joke here, but number fifteen
Jerry Seinfeld. I don't remember anyone having a crush on
Jerry Seinfeld, except maybe perhaps a seventeen year old girl.
