The Shark Deck, Johnny Mack with Your Daily Comedy News. Thom Segura spoke
with a Rolling Stone and they were like, hey, one of your first
jobs was logging transcripts for reality shows. How bad was that? So Goura
said, horrible. It's such a mind numbing thing to do, and you
would see would break people. The logging of reality show is such an important
part of the show because those moments and conversations are a lot of times very
manufactured. No way you have to log everything that is said, so they
could do Franken bites where they cut lines together and make them appear to be
one sentence. Wow. I worked on My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss and Trading
Spouses, and there was this thing that when Viral called God Warrior, and
I remember hearing that from one of the edit bays, it exploded. It
was very hard to stomach logging reality shows. I really hated doing it.
Golf dot Com spoke to George Lopez and asked him to complete the sentence and
a headshead match between George Lopez and his good friend Lee Trevino. George Lopez
would Lopez's answer was remove the clubs from Lee's golf bag and appropriate them as
my own. To the loser, go the spoils, right. I take
Louis Trevino's stuff all the time. He has a wood that says super mechs
on it, and he saw me looking at it like it was a new
car, and he said, I'll get you one, baby, all right.
George Lopez, what's your go to golf joke? And he said,
an old guy's on the thirteen tea And on a nearby street, a funeral
procession is going by, black limousine line of cars flowers the old thing,
and the golfer takes off his hat and puts it over his heart, and
the guys in his group are like, wow, that's really respectful, and
he goes, hey. We were married for fifty five years. Jay Farrell
was asked to name his top comics. He said Easy number one, Eddie
Murphy number two, Robin Harris, number three, Bernie Meck four, Chris
Rock, five, Dave Chappelle, A bad Ball of Them, Richard Pryor,
The Rob Report. And spoke to Gabriel Iglesias about his Volkswagon collection.
Gabe said, my first bus was a nineteen sixty eight Bay Window. I
was seventeen years old and was my first car. You're always attached to the
memories of your first car, whatever it is. That's where it started.
My brother was the one that got me into it. The engine was so
simple. I remember my brother always saying, it's just four bolts. It's
just four bolts. I could take that out with a skateboard and a pair
of plyers. His first time behind the wheel was terrifying. It was a
nineteen sixty eight Volkswagon. The amount of play in the wheel, I tell
people, was like sailing a boat. As for the buses, I started
this collection ten years ago when I got the building and had the space for
it. I'd gotten my girlfriend at the time, her first car through Jay
Leno's guys. He's got an incredible team over there. I then asked them
if they could help me. Now, granted, I wish I could actually
track down the car I had when I was seventeen, but they got me
something to look just like it. They said, if you want anything else,
let us know, and I said, if you guys come across anything
else, cool, let me know. We played that game for many years
until this building was filled up. The collection grew so fast I did the
bulk of the damage in the first five years. What's his Holy Grail bus.
I'd like to get my hands on a nineteen fifty Volkswagon bus, which
is the first year they came out. There are a few people that have
some, but I'm not willing to pay what they want. I do have
some cars and the works that aren't necessarily buses. I have a Carmengia being
worked on right now, a thing, a fastback, and a bug.
There are about ten cars that are currently being restored. As for the collection,
I don't get to dry them all as much as i'd like to.
I'm always working. I'm on the road forty six weeks of the year.
So what I do? You get to take them out? It's pretty cool.
Some fun facts from sports Kidia the headline she and Gillis's high school and
college football career. All right, fun facts, You're ready. Gillis played
offensive tackle for Trinity High School in camp Hill, Pennsylvania. He got scholarship
offers from institutions that wanted him to join their football programs. As the sports
Kidia. Initially, he enrolled in the US Military Academy, but didn't complete
his first year before quitting. His next stop was at Elon University, where
he played college football, but not for long. Then he went to Westchester
University, where he eventually graduated. Then he moved to Spain, where he
taught English started performing comedy in twenty twelve. Nimesh Pateel told High Times,
my first writing job was with the Oscars and Chris Rock, being in that
writer's room with about twenty people, and I was relatively new in comedy.
He was intimidating, but I learned from that experience that there was no need
to be timid. You're in the room for a reason, so to throw
a bunch of stuff out and see what happens. I had a similar approach
when I was at SNL as for how it impacted my writing on stage,
that it's a numbers game. Just keep throwing stuff out there, and even
if I bombed in front of Chris Rock and other funny people, bombing in
front of non comedians shouldn't bother me as much. It's about being comfortable with
throwing things out there and experimenting. Working with Chris Rock, I remember we
were working on a joke about acting being brave, and that was during the
Oscars when there were no black nominees. I pitched a joke about acting not
being brave and instead said, drinking a glass of water in Flint, Michigan
is brave. Considering the water crisis. Chris tweaked it to say drinking a
glass of kool aid in Flint, Michigan, and it hit even harder.
Came up to me afterward and emphasized the importance of speciicivity. The lesson stuck
with me, and I tried to apply it to my writing whenever possible.
The more specific you can be with a reference that people still get, the
better it's going to be. That's a great note. I don't know if
you know this. Chris Rock pretty good at comedy, Jeff fox Worthy said
for my whole career because I'm not mean spirited. I just wrote with the
idea of making people laugh because I always do Why do women do this and
men do that? When I started getting email from people, well I'm a
woman and I don't do that, and I'm man, I don't do that,
I was like, all right, I'll change it to I do this
and my wife does that. And it just got kind of the point where
I was like, what are you doing when a comic has to edit yourself
all the time. A comic supposed to be a truth tailer. We're supposed
to look at things we do in society and kind of hold it up to
people and go, why do we say this or why do we do that?
Just kind of reach a point where I'm not out to hurt anybody's feelings,
but I don't care. I'm just gonna try and be funny and not
worry about it. Comedian John Ozele dresses his characters for his driver's license.
Recently, when he went to update his license, he decided that instead of
combing his hair and wearing a nice shirt, he'd show up at the DMV
dressed as an eighties punk rocker, something he is not. He said,
my family has a tradition of being officially documented by the government as characters because
the government doesn't know we're not those people. My dad started this tradition of
the seventies. He showed his brother his most recent ID picture, which shows
a man with a bushy beard, long unkempt hair, and wild eyes that
is not his normal look. JOHNA is unrecognizable and nearly every photo have been
taking on a new looking persona in each one. In one, he has
a chin strap in cornrows and has ranged his face in a menacing glare,
and another he has spiked hair and a fum man chew mustache, and third
he wears a mullet and a tank top. Nature comedy He's for Today.
