Callaroga, Shark Media, Yellow Jenny
mag with your daily comedy News. Two

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.679
good ones from Late Night, Jimmy
Kimmel talking about Trump demanding Biden take a

3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.920
drug test before the debates. What
are they gonna do? Test them for?

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.440
Sasprilla? Love it, Colbert,
They really wanted to delay the debate,

5
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.839
waiting for two old men to pee. John Stewart told a story about

6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.160
when his old talk show was canceled, not the Daily Show. Remember he

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.759
had one in New York, was
on Channel eleven. Nobody watched it.

8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.679
Stuart said, we were all very
sad, and when your name is on

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.039
it and they tell you to get
out of the building, it's very hurtful.

10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.119
But David Letterman had some advice for
the then up and comer. On

11
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.960
the final show. Letterman said to
me, don't confuse cancelation with failure.

12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.679
And I thought that was a really
interesting and then in the commercial break he

13
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.200
said, although this is also a
failure. Hey, Dave had a failed

14
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.920
daytime talk show. I wish the
clips of that would surface. I think

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.520
I saw it once back in nineteen
eighty two. Must be somewhere somebody showed

16
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.840
those. I mad at myself.
I had this story yesterday. I remember

17
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.760
a slow news story day when I
kind of checked and jive for twelve minutes.

18
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.920
I had this one, and I
forgot to actually do it. Nikki

Glazer has been ripping on Ben Affleck
for Ben's terrible appearance at the Netflix Tom

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.560
Brady Roast. She told the barstool
folks, I haven't watched it again like

21
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.280
how it looks, because I don't
like to watch people bomb. He didn't

22
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.599
prepare. He's someone who's famous enough
he probably thinks it's beneath him to do

23
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.480
it, Like I'm just gonna do
a favorite. It's not gonna be that

24
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:27.319
big a deal. And then you
do it and you go, oh,

25
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.799
this is way bigger than I thought
it was gonna be. I'm just kind

26
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.120
of phoning it in. He probably
had a picture the writers probably like maybe

27
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.599
I'd do an angle or a man
about tweets, because that's his thing.

28
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.719
Affleck said live on stage, I
don't think I'll ever get this chance again.

29
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.200
I'm probably never gonna work again.
Actually, after tonight, you guys

30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.400
out there talking crap all night behind
your keyboard. That doesn't make you a

31
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.239
fan, That makes you a B
word, Glazer said, there were so

32
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.159
many jokes that didn't get used that
could have filled up an entire set of

33
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.480
his that would have been amazing.
But either they couldn't get him on the

34
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.439
phone enough to work something out where
he didn't practice enough, or he just

35
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.719
picked a bad premise and then he
had to stick to it the whole time.

36
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.599
It didn't work right, so it's
not gonna work later. If you

37
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.359
joke bombs, you're onto the next
one. That's probably what he should have

38
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.080
done. A couple specials were announced. Netflix is set the premiere for Keith

39
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.840
Robinson in Different Strokes Tuesday, June
eleventh. One hour special, Robinson will

40
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.520
share raw personal stories from the aftermath
of two life altering strokes, one in

41
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.280
twenty sixteen one in twenty twenty,
as well as insight into his recovery and

42
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.240
the challenges he's faced while navigating his
new disabilities. In his statement, he

43
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.680
said coming up with the title Different
Strokes was a stroke of genius, stupidity

44
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.759
mixed with perseverance. I love making
this special and thanks to all who helped

45
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.879
make it happen. It is his
second special for Netflix. Apparently, he

46
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.120
had one in twenty fourteen called Kevin
Hart Presents Keith Robinson. Sal Volcano will

47
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.479
put one out on the eight hundred
pound Gerrilla channel on YouTube eight Pacific on

48
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.319
May thirty first. I think May
thirty first is next Friday, eight am.

49
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.919
Release on a Friday in summer.
Not sure anyone thought that out.

50
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.599
Release it on a Tuesday, dude. We are told it's unclear what he

51
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.240
discusses in the special a mystery,
but it is said to offer a fresh

52
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.319
perspective on his hysterical real life experiences. Filmed at the VIC Theater in Chicago.

53
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.360
Great theater. It's executive produced by
Ari Shaffir. That's cool. It's

54
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.680
for the launchtime and the we're not
telling you what it's about. Not sure

55
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.479
this pr strategy has been thought through, but we'll see. Steve Carell,

56
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.680
he's doing a new show. I
have some thoughts about this. At the

57
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.680
back end, the eleven time Emmy
Award nominee is set to star in and

58
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.319
executive produce a new comedy series ordered
by HBO. Bill Lawrence is attached to

59
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.599
this. You know Bill Lawrence from
Scrubs and some other stuff. Ted Lasso,

60
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.120
Yeah that was pretty popular, so
great pedigree there. Bill Lawrence says,

61
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.639
HBO has long been a standard bearer
of quality TV. Getting to do

62
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.479
a show there with Steve Corell is
an immediate career highlight. Nothing can go

63
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.199
wrong now. A suit gave a
quote the combination of Steve Carell and Bill

64
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.599
Lawrence promises to be full of great
laughs, warmth, and charm. We're

65
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.120
thrilled to be the home for this
long overdue collaboration. I was working on

66
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.439
something here at the podcast company and
someone drafted a press release and there was

67
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.479
a placeholder quote attributed to me,
and I'm like, I'm not quote unquote

68
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.719
saying that I will get destroyed in
the media. So I crossed it out

69
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.039
and they gave me a couple of
days to come up with it in my

70
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.240
own quote, and I couldn't come
up with anything that didn't sound like me

71
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.560
going, you know, the combination
of Steve Carell and Bill Horn's promises to

72
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:17.720
be full of great li Like,
I just didn't want to sound like that,

73
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.279
And you can't give a quip quote
in my normal style, like I

74
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.480
can't say. John McDermott said,
yeah, sounds cool, Like you can't

75
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.720
put that at press lease. So
I just said, how about I'm not

76
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.120
in the press release at all.
So that's why we went with Steve Carell,

77
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.959
best known for being the lead in
the Netflix comedy series Space Force.

78
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.360
He also briefly appeared as Michael Scott
in something called The Office. Hey,

79
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.439
Steve, let me give you some
advice here. You're looking to star in

80
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.480
a sitcom, presumably so that people
can laugh and you make a lot of

81
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.480
money. Right, that seems to
be the idea. Here's an idea.

82
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.879
It's called the Office reboot. How
about it? Michael Scott moves back from

83
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.879
Denver, moves back to Scranton because
reasons, paper company reasons. I'm sure

84
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.399
that would do well. Why are
we messing around? Little controversy SNL being

85
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:11.920
accused once again of stealing an idea
On the most recent episode, Jake Gillenhall

86
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.720
and musical guest Sabrina Carpenter starretist Fred
and Daphne from Scooby Doo. Sarah Sherman

87
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.759
and Mikey Day played Velma and Shaggy. In the sketch spoilers, the shadow

88
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.480
Phantom is revealed to be a bitter
old man played by James Austin Johnson,

89
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.160
so Fred rips his mask off.
We've all seen that bit. Then he

90
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.920
rips off a second mask. But
it's not a second mask, it's the

91
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.639
guy's actual face. Some Internet sleuths
pointed out this is very similar to a

92
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.120
twenty sixteen Nerdist comedy short called Scooby
Don't, which found the Scooby Doo gang

93
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.800
reducing a villain's face to a bloody
mess. The director of Scooby Don't,

94
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.319
Andrew Bowser, pointed out the similarities
on social media, suggest Daden he had

95
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:54.519
directed this sketch seven years ago.
Got a really strange note in the Facebook

96
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.519
group, which is Daily Comedy News
Podcast group. I don't know what to

97
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.680
make of it, Ellen wrote,
I've been listening to DC every day for

98
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.360
about a year. Decided to join
the group. What that's awesome, Ellen,

99
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.800
We welcome you. We're glad you're
here, Thank you for listening.

100
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.680
Truly appreciate you listening every day.
I decided to join the group solely based

101
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.480
on the Bob's Burgers focus on today's
show. Oh that's good, because you

102
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.319
know I am very outspoken about the
Bob's Burgers hoax. Again, if you're

103
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.959
a new listener, two questions.
Have you ever seen Bob's Burgers? Know?

104
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.319
Have you ever met anyone who has
seeing Bob's Burgers. The answer is

105
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.680
also know it's weird. I don't
know what the hoax is about. It's

106
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.680
probably like a four Chan kind of
thing. I don't get it that Ellen

107
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.560
wrote I've watched every episode with my
family. I know people who watch.

108
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:41.800
I have attended a table read with
the cast. Hmm what. I don't

109
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.279
know what to make of this.
I mean, Ellen seems pretty cool.

110
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.480
Appreciate Ellen listening every day for about
a year and taking the time to write

111
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.800
in. But I mean, I
don't know what to say. I've never

112
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.000
met or heard of anyone who has
seen Bob's Burgers. And Ellen is saying

113
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.959
that Ellen has seen Bob's Burgers.
I mean, I've seen the video of

114
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.600
Bigfoot, pictures of Lockness Monster.
It could be that kind of thing.

115
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.279
I'm not sure. Ellen writes give
it a shot, Signed a super fan

116
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.800
from Fargo. Well, I appreciate
you joining the group. Uh you know,

117
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.839
if you ask me, this sounds
like the work of Kristin Shawl.

118
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.040
I know Kristin a little bit.
We did some stuff together back. It's

119
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.639
serious and you know she's a jokester. I bet Ellen is really Kristen but

120
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.959
you know, if anybody out there
has seen this Bob's Burger's show, which

121
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.480
again you haven't, but if you
think you have, join the Facebook group.

122
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.120
It's Steely Comedy News podcast Group.
Ellen. Thank you for listening from

123
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:38.879
Esquire Middle East, your home for
comedy news. Tom Sigora getting ready to

124
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.439
play Abu Dhabi Comedy Week. Esquire
Middle East asked Tom about how he researches

125
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.600
a new place that he's performing.
Si Gore says, you never want to

126
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.560
go in a place completely ignorant.
But when I do international shows, I

127
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.279
tried to do the show that I've
developed. If you're doing bits where you

128
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.839
have to reference things that are very
American, sometimes you gotta go, okay,

129
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.560
what's the equivalent here? But going
in thinking I'm going to do a

130
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.839
show that hopefully hits all the notes
that these people would want to hear in

131
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.319
this market, I don't do that. Tom is working on a six episode

132
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.560
series coming to Netflix in twenty twenty
five. The question has a TV show

133
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.839
been a long time coming for you? It did Netflix catch you at the

134
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.639
right time? Si Gore said,
TV and film development, that process is

135
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.360
always very taxing. It's long,
it's arduous, and I've been through it.

136
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.680
So I had this idea of shooting
something I wanted to shoot, and

137
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.680
I could have called an agent in
seat up a meeting. Instead, I

138
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.279
was like, you know what,
I want to go shoot this. The

139
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.360
original idea is I'd put it out
on our same pay per view platform that

140
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.160
sixty nine Minutes aired on. When
I was getting ready to air it on

141
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.759
that platform, I showed it to
my agents and they said, you gotta

142
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.320
let more people see this. We
showed it to Netflix and then they acquired

143
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.320
it. How much freedom does he
have from Netflix, se Gore says,

144
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.720
so far, it's been on real
it means to be seen, though they

145
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.879
haven't been given scripts yet, so
I don't know what they're gonna say when

146
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.720
they actually read the scripts. But
it's been a good process so far.

147
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.840
If you are attending Abu Dhabi Comedy
Week, Tom will be at the Eddie

148
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.360
Hot Arena on Saturday. Andrew Santino
and some others are set as the leads

149
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.600
in Yahoo's eight episode comedy Sin City
Saints. I like Santino as an actor

150
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.080
a lot. He's just he has
great presence. Whatever that thing that was

151
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.480
called that was not about the comedy
store in La and he played like the

152
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.320
comic that was kind of making it. I thought he was great in that

153
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:15.639
Sin City Saints follows the Triumphs,
Travails and Transgressions literation of Las Vegas' brand

154
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.799
new pro basketball franchise, The Saints. Santino will play Jake Sullis, the

155
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.759
Saints unpredictable and charismatic owner who made
his fortune as an Internet disruptor in the

156
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.960
field of big data. All right, I could see him in that role.

157
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.120
That sounds good, But it's for
Yahoo. Like Yahoo's making shows again.

158
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.679
I remember they did the last season
of Community. Where's this going to

159
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.279
air on Yahoo? I don't get
it. Clara o'caine as a new comedy

160
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.720
album out. It is called Everything
I Know How to Do. It's on

161
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.840
PGF Records. She jokes about leaving
her job at SNL, open marriage,

162
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.360
gender identity, OCD, induced mantras, talking to ghosts and more. And

163
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.679
that is your comedy news for today. I'm starting to see the news stripe.

164
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.399
I'm starting to see the Hey,
here's all the albums we're excited about

165
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.639
this summer articles that you could have
written in February. Starting to see those

166
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.399
populate, so we'll see. Ellen. Thank you for listening, Thanks for

167
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.000
joining us in the group. It's
all in good fun, you know.

168
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.279
If you want to become a character, keep sending me bombs Burger's notes and

169
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.600
I'll have fun with it, especially
on slow news days. I'm tempted to

170
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.360
play Joe Coy here just to say
hi to our friend Scott Beckett, but

171
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.039
I won't, as you know,
see tomorrow
