Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny mag with your daily comedy news. According to
Politico, Rob Schneider was cut off ten minutes into a half hour set at
a Republican networking holiday event. This happened last year. I don't know why
we're just finding out about it now, but apparently Rob Schneider's material was two
offensive, other descriptions raunchy, racist, gross, and vulgar. Senator Cindy
Hyde Smith walked out of the performance. Her spokesperson said she didn't have to
listen to it, so she got up and left. Apparently some of the
other jokes were aimed at Asian people unquote, including one about quote Korean whorehouses.
All one hundred and fifty attendees, which included more than forty Senate chiefs
of staff, were told received an apology for organizers the next day, which
read, this is great. While we do our best to ensure every aspect
of our program is professional, courteous, and appropriate, we sincerely regret that
the entertainment last night's program fell short of that goal. What did they think
Schneider was going to do? The Senate Working Group, the organization that held
the event, claimed that Schneider broke a verbal agreement to keep his set relatively
clean. Meanwhile, Gerrod Carmichael, who I'm just not interested in, is
ready to set the record straight about his joke. Recently, he was on
The Breakfast Club. He told Charlemagne the God, you played a clip of
my stand up, but it started the punchline, and it like completely erased
the setup of it. I really don't like that. It made it seem
like I'm in some type of race sexual slavery roleplay with my boyfriend, which
is untrue. It's so false, and I expect that type of thing from
TMZ because they have no humanity. They don't care about the people that get
hurt when they report these sorts of things. But you're a friend, Charlamaine
said when he played the clip was the only part of the episode he had
seen. Carmichael said, yeah, but I need you to watch the show,
and anybody watches the show knows it's not what I said. It's so
false, it's so untrue. I don't like that because it's like it has
nothing to do with my boyfriend, has nothing to do with the sex that
we have, is nothing to do with It's something that people have been reporting
on I really really don't like it, Carmichael explain in context, the joke
is about my boyfriend reading so much that he makes me feel insecure about my
level of reading. I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that
of a slave and a master's son who teaches me how to read by candlelight.
The gist of the joke is that Carmichael buys a lot of books but
never actually reads them. From Late Night or a great website you should check
out. SNL almost brought back Keenan Thompson's OJ Simpson this week, and you
may have heard that OJ Simpson passed away. Late Nighter says The sketch got
as far as dress rehearsal, but they decided not to include it a weekend
update. According to people who were at the dress rehearsal, Thompson has OJ
dressed as an angel, complete with a halo above his head, telling Colin
Jos about his new life in heaven. As the bit progressed, it became
clear that OJ is in hell but doesn't realize it. He describes seeing great
food everywhere, but it turning into dust whenever he tries to eat it.
He says he went back to the physical shape he was as a pro football
player, but whenever he tries to score, he's off by a yard and
has to return to the other end of the field. Colin Jos then suggested
OJ's actually in hell keenan as OJ protested, asking if he's in hell,
why are his lawyers here too. Another joke saw Simpson removing his black leather
glove, only for it to reappear on his hand. Seems like Collette Fountain,
who writes for The Daily Beast, does not enjoy Jimmy Carr the way
I do the headline on The Daily Beast byline by Collett Fountain, Jimmy Carr
really needs you to know how quote unquote edgy he is. In his latest
Netflix special, the British comic goes out of his way to warn viewers that
he might get canceled. It's exhausting. I don't think you understand Jimmy's act.
He's been doing that since before cancel became a term associated with comedy.
He has always done that. That is what the act is. He has
always done the a you can't say this thing, and then he pushes it
and pushes it to illustrate it. That's what the act is. If you
don't like the act, that's fine, But that would be like somebody doing
twenty minutes complaining that Adam Saylor movies are stupid. That person doesn't understand what
an Adam sailor will. Wait. I like Jimmy car lot, I haven't
seen the special yet, clude Fountain writes. If you miss the trailers or
his Instagram post in which he prehemptively apologizes to insert a grieve party name here,
don't worry, because Car drives the point home. The second especial begins,
opening with people say, you can't choke about anything these days. Watch
me now. The comic goes on to use a litany of buzzwords associated with
anti woke, miss jokes that might get me canceled, and a segment of
deliberately controversial jokes ensure that Car's agenda is not lost in translation. Again,
that's what a Jimmy Carr special is. If telling himself that his critics are
part of the zombified Wocladi mob helps Car maintain his ignorance to the consequence of
his comedy, that so be it. We all need to find a way
to sleep at Night whatever. Kevin Hard announced a tour. It is called
Acting My Age. I believe he had been a sort of touring under in
progress or work in progress or next act in progress. Anyway, it's got
a name now my Age. I know this was starting on Long Island.
I'll also play Seattle, Portland, Houston, Oakland, at Boston, Philly,
some other places, including the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival in Edmonton July twelfth
through the fourteenth. I thought this one was interesting. This also from Late
Nighter. They noticed that the Conan O'Brien profile and the Holliad reporter mentions that
Team Coco slate includes a show staring Cheers co stars Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson.
Here let me read it. Seeing that, I'll comment. The show's
description teases the podcast is a chance to reconnect both with each other and the
amazing friends that they've each met over the decades. That is, when Ted
can get a hold of Woody. It's not a straight Cheers rewatch. Danson
has suggested that Cheers will be a topic of conversation, and he says of
Woody, we don't really know each other after thirty years of not being together
every day, so we're catching up with each other. The truth is we're
having a ball. So in a previous life, this podcast was pitched to
me and the other people in the room. We all looked at each other
and to us, I think this was during the pandemic. It just sounded
like an agent fishing for money, and our vibe was Neither Ted nor Woody
actually wanted to do a podcast. They just wanted to get paid to do
a podcast. That version of the pitch also was not a Cheers rewatch.
We didn't develop it. Good luck serious XM. Roots of Comedy with Jesus
Treyho is a new comedy documentary series hailing from PBS So Cal. This will
stream on the PBS app May twenty fourth. The series follows Mexican American comedian
and host Hazus Trejo as he embarks on a journey to tell the stories behind

cool, right If you don't want to stream it on May twenty fourth,
it will air on PBS stations on June twenty first at ten Eastern if you
want to add that to your calendar. BT has added to the twenty twenty

I don't know. Do things have to be forty years old to get on
this list? I don't know. So I am off my game today.
I am stumbling left and right, and I have had to make a million
edits because I flew red Eye from Los Angeles. Can I just ask everyone
please please stop flying red Eyes with babies. I feel like one hundred percent
of the red Eyes I take. Somebody brings a baby, the baby's gonna
scream the whole flight. Now, the whole point of a red eye is
we're trying to sleep. Everyone knows what a red eye is. Accept these
people with the babies. What are you doing so roughnight? I'm half asleep.
Let's see. In La the National Donuts chain had cinnamon vanilla ice coffee
that was pretty good. And I was at the Green Coffee place that Kenny,
who was one of the supporters of the show, always encourages me to
visit, and I was at a particular location that I associate my mind with
Kenny. Kenny, hope you're doing well out there. If you enjoy the
show, you can buy me a coffee. And buy me a coffee.
Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. You can't buy Glenna beer because we're not
doing trivia. It's volleyball season, that's right. Tonight is the season opener
of Beach Volleyball. Oh, I forgot I had added this to today's counter.
Okay, we have to do an intervention. This intervention is for Jim
Gaffigan. This clip I'm going to play from Jim Gaffigan hawking his new bourbon
is really, really terrible. I suggest, even though this is my podcast,
I suggest you hit thirty second skip because this is really really better.
You prepared. We need to get to Jim and tell him to cut this
out because this is no working gym Gaffigan here. Let's listen. There are
these trends in the bourbon industry, like, oh, our bourbon was on
a ship at sea. You're not going to get a toy. Sorry,
we don't do that here at Father Time. But I do give each barrel
a pep talk, and since I am a qualified life coach, it's pretty
important and I think you can taste it. No, you're doing great,
You are doing great. You are not you are not swelling. What happens
often is there's a moment of story time. Once upon a time there was
a barrel named Bennie, and well, Benny he was a fifteen year old
seventy five twenty three eighteen ten mash pumps. Yes, he was a four
grain and well he had always dreamed of after he was turned into father time
Bourbon, that he would go over Niagara Falls. It's a true story,
Jim bro Stop it's not working at all. Just come on and go.
Hey, Schim Gaffigan, I have anuw Bourbon. I hope you like it.
Stop with whatever you're doing, it is not working. Let's take a
look at the festivals. If you're in Dubai and go see a Mayor's Zar

No, I didn't preload the site. What are you crazy? I'm not
pulling clips because it can barely speak today. I need a nap. Let's
se here's A show called two Minutes to Kill features fifteen comedians giving you two
minutes of their funniest jokes. Three hosts choose their favorite acts, and you,
the audience, gets to choose who closes out the show with more jokes.
That's a good time, all right, let's do that one. Two
minutes to Kill. Let's find one more, and then I'm gonna take a
nap. Here's one called Comedy Out West, a night filled with comedy not
quite raw, more medium to well done, as local and imported comedians assemble
in the West to ballot out for the all important audience vote. All right,
it's a voting night. Let's do those two shows. May Plannert is
recording her new special at the Grove thirty four in a Storia. Mark Normand
is producing it. Caro Burnett will get another Lifetime Achievement award, this one
from the Greasy Awards in Beverly Hills on May twenty first, and Olivia with
this, an Australian comedian has bored anyone over the age of eighty five from
his stand up shows after getting into some words with an elderly crowd member,
Blake Pavey shared a video from a recent show. His opener got into it
with a man in the audience who was heckling in with barbs like I wish
you had some talent and say something funny. Mate. The opener shot back
and said, is property not enough for you? They have to come and
ruin my night. Pavey then took the stage for his sets and got into
it with the older gentleman and said, how does the oldest seaword here have
the lowest IQ yelled out, I'm still waiting to laugh. Payvee said,
on American being an entitled seaword, What a shacker. The man got up
from his seat and went to leave. Payvee clocked it and joked, sorry,
I'm trying to listen, but we have a dementia patient in the room.
The man yelled back, I'm still waiting to laugh. The man then
said I wish you were funny, mate. Pavey said, I wish you
weren't a sea word, but we can't all have what we want. Oh
okay, there was probably a better version of me telling that story if I'm
awake, but I am not stop taking babies on red eyes. See tomorrow
