Calorouga shark media. Let's get right to it. Larry David attacked Elmo.
Hi, I'm Shooney Mack and all that. The voices you're going to hear
are the hosts of the Today Show, Larry David, Elmo and a character
that apparently is Elmo's father named Louis. Louis is the one that says I'm
going to sue him for assault. Let's listen, all right, let's go
over to Alpha check of the weather. Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait. Don't you before ask permission? Ask permission before you touch people?
Larry talk about all right, you've gone too far this time that somebody
have to do it. Anybody really surprised He's gonna sue y'all for the teaser.
I'm gonna suit him for that's right, Louie. Oh alright, let's
shut show you what's happening. Weatherwise. Didn't see that coming. If you
watch the video, they cut back and forth. Apparently Larry was on the
set next to the couch waiting to do his one on one, and he
came over and threw a fake punch at Elmo. He deliberately missed. He
clearly wasn't trying to actually hit Elmo. The Today Show host didn't know how
to react a few times, the cuts of al Broker standing in front of
the weather map out didn't know what to do, and the whole thing is
insane, lots of fun. Speaking of Larry David, he will be at
the Paley Fest. It is the annual television festival hosted by the Paley Center
of Media. Mentioned this yesterday, but there's some other cool things this year's
line up. April twelfth of The Morning Show, The Apple Thing, April
thirteenth, Loki the fourteenth, Young Sheldon also on the fourteenth, Avatar,
The Last Airbender on the fifteenth, Late Night with Seth Myers, eighteenth is
Kurb and April nineteenth, Family Guy's twenty fifth anniversary celebration. The New York
Post apparently has decided to start covering comedy in a way different than what they
did in the past. That they send somebody to Mark Norman show at the
Beacon, and I believe this is the first time we've heard Mark Norman address
the silly stunt. Last week at New York Comedy Club, when the crowd
was evacuated, Mark Norman said, I went viral for I don't know thirteen
hours, some bullsh and then he trailed off, says the Post. Eventually
Britney Spears took a crap at a hotel lobby and it was all good.
Now, what I think is new for the Post is they covered Mark Norman's
opening acts. Matt Ruby went up first. They quote one of his jokes,
joking about lack of success with long term relationships. Apparently Matt's joke told
much better than I. Well, the first six months are easy. Just
feels like you're on drugs right, like you're on molly. After living together
for years. It feels like you took molly and you're stuck on the subway.
You're like, how is this ecstasy? And oh my god, I
feel trapped. Please let me out, all right? Next up, Phil
Hanley talked about dating. He proposed the idea that a relationship is probably near
over once you make a pros and cons list. He said, I did
that with my ex. I was like, pro, she's by con polar.
That's a good joke. The Post writes people were already near choking on
laughter by the time Mark Norman rat on the stage. The forty year old
New Yorker's notoriously nasally voice was enough to set the crowd into a rapture of
enthusiasm. Does Mark Norman have a notoriously nasally voice? I know he's got
a very noticeable delivery style, but I never thought about nasally voice from Mark
Norman. I opened for Seinfeld here a couple of years ago. Now I'm
headlining and he's in the tunnels. He joked about Joe Biden worried about World
War three. Don't be The president has military experience. He served in the
Civil War. He then joked about environmental activist Greta Tuneberg, making an OnlyFans
joke. It said, Dori, she's twenty one years old. She's of
age. It's fine, man, I thought she was nine. The Post
says what makes Mark Norman special is that he has cleverly evaded most cancible offenses
while towing the line of decency. Sure are some things teeter on the offensive,
but the reality is that Mark Norman is just as likely to dunk on
one group of people as the other, and the net effect being that it's
near impossible to loathe him for political incorrectness. Yes, that is comedy in
The New York Post says he's just making jokes after all. Amen. Then
the Post adds with this weird tag to the article. They wrote, eager
to find out what he thinks about Caitlyn Jenner, Governor Abbott, Nikki Haley,
Leah Thomas, Gypsy Rose. No, not really, and then they
wrote, well, you'll have to buy tickets to his next show to find
out. Thanks. New York Post. Comedy writer Tremor Noah is hosting the
Grammys on Sunday. He was on with Gail King on CBS. It seems
now if you host an award show, they have to ask you about Joe
Coy. Boy, Joe, I'm so sorry, dude, Taylor murdered you.
All she had to do was smile. Did you see Taylor ice the
CBS cameras. I think I shared that in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
Podcast group. When Taylor's at the game on Sunday, the Fox camera switched
to her and she just stared with that face she makes, and then finally
mouthed what looked like please leave me alone or something like that. She murdered
Jokoy. If she had smiled, everybody goes, oh, Joe Coy was
okay, but now he's the worst Awards show host ever. I guess David
Letterman feels like he's off the hook. Anyway. They asked Trevor Noah about
Joe Coy and he said, here's the thing about Awards shows. Everybody loves
the joke when it's not about them, and your goal and your hope is
to tell a joke about the person that they also think is funny. Say,
for example, coverage of football games tends to show you on camera.
You could smile. It's not about you, it's just a joke. Smile.
Bring it Swifties, Daily Comedy News, get it right. So it's
difficult, and I think every comedian understands this. I think what makes the
Grammys particularly nerve wracking for me is like these are superstars. Yeah, these
are like I don't want to get on the wrong side of Taylor Swift fans,
see I kinda do. That's Jonny Max saying that, not Trevor Noah.
So you're trying to walk this fine line of being, you know,
the comedian, but then also still being nice about the night. Joe Rogan
still don't accepted my challenge to fight in the ring Chicken. Trevor says,
there's no guarantee every joke will strike gold. I never take it for granted.
I'm never not nervous. Think of this a moment. Everybody's there.
You have an idea of what you like to do. You never practiced this
with them. Some people are having a good night, some people are not
having a good night. You don't know how it'll go. And as the
night progresses, the mood changes, and how does that mood affect the comedy.
You don't know. Gail King asked Trevor, Noah, who are you
rooting for? Trevor said, you know what I'm gonna say, I'm rooting
for me. I think me has done a very good job with the Special
Grammy Sunday Night, CBS eight Eastern. Roywood Junior was on the Audi Cornish
Pod via CNN Really interesting interview. Roy said, the best political comedy comes
with steaks, and you can only hit those stakes if there's a relationship.
It's no different than the correspondence dinner. The viewer has to know the host
and see the host repeatedly and get a relationship and get a rhythm and then
understand where you're coming from. I'll jump in, so yeah, John Stewart
and the story and then you can do more daring stuff. You know,
if you're gonna use the news team, that's gonna be great for the show
in an election year because everybody knows them, everybody's familiar with them, and
you know, with guest hosts, it's like it's literally a different quarterback every
week, and they may have a different comedic flavor and it's great to play
around with. That's some, but if comedy and new satsire flows through their
host, you want a familiar face or as many familiar face as there are
as possible. I think that is well said. I think they got to
stop with the guest hosts. I'm glad John is back. I'm sorry John's
only doing one day a week. They should pick somebody for the other four
or three, right, it's not on Friday other three. While he was
like, you were frustrated by the process, you exited right, skipping ahead,
Roy says it wasn't frustration as much, it was fear. It was
more fear like for my own career, like I don't know what you're gonna
do. I don't know how you're gonna make moves, So let me start
thinking about what's next now while I still have a little bit of time and
the strike was about to end. I was afraid of being a man without
a country. I was afraid of them hiring a new host that doesn't want
me. I'm afraid of not being in the plans. If you don't know
what the plans are and you're looking at doing things, I have to hedge.
Okay, let me take the time now before January and before February to
start looking at other things and exploring other things and then creatively. I just
didn't think there was a way to do that and honor the position of correspondent
appropriately and do the job right. Am I in the mixed to host?
I don't know. I've always said if they call me and want me to
come back as a host, that would be a conversation. I'd consider that.
But in the meantime, we're talking about the job of correspondent escaping head.
So now imagine you're at a job and you're not sure what the plan
is for you to host or not or to continue as a correspondent next year,
depending on what the do creative iteration is of the show. Let me
jump in, Roy, love you man. Comedy Central's kind of made it
clear you're not gonna host the show. I mean, I don't know what
they have to do to let you know you were not the choice. You
were there. If they wanted you, they would have picked you. Roy
said, you know that your alternative is scripted film and TV, right,
or are creating your own nonscripted show. Well, the best opportunity to create
your own nonscripted show is at the end of a strike, after you killed
at a correspondent's dinner. So that's option one. Option two is to try
and do something scripted, to make films, which they're making less of.
They're not going to be throwing money at bench of TV shows there. You
don't make pilots the way they used to. You're not even gonna have a
cast a bunch of people anymore. This is really interesting, Like eight or
nine people in a show a year ago, Bob Hart's Abashola had I think
seven series regulars. They cut the show to two series regulars and then made
everybody else recurring For people that don't know the difference, Like a series regular
that's someone in every single episode recurring as somebody who comes in like Newman and
Seinfeld, who's in like three or four episodes a year, and you don't
see them all the time, but they're in the world. You're making less
television than television you are making, you're making for cheaper than that. All
right, let's try out that new segment I came up with yesterday, Seafood
Corner. I love it. This happened last August on Seafood Corner. Pete
Davidson showed up with Bud's Chicken and Seafood on the Dixie Highway in West Palm
According to The Palm Beach Post, Pete Davidson ordered the chicken finger dinner and
ate inside the restaurant. That's Seafood Corner for you. World famous comedian Joey
Gatso in the news again. A remind you. If you ask one thousand
people who's Joey Gatto, nine hundred and ninety nine of them will go,
I have no idea, and Mike and Cleveland will be like, dude,
that's the guy from Impractical Jokers. Well, apparently Mike in Cleveland works for
AB six Philadelphia because they went with the headline comedian joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers
performed at the met, but that's not the exciting headline. The exciting headline
is that met in Philadelphia helps consumers who couldn't attend comedy show due to snow
emergency. Yes, it is a world famous comedian Joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers
controversy. ABC six tells us the Action News Troubleshooters fielded nearly a dozen complaints
from consumers demanding refunds for a Philadelphia comedy show that took place during a snow
emergency, and they remind us comedian Joe Gatto is best known for staring in
the television series and Practical Jokers, but fans also love his stand up.
As a Christmas gift from their children, Nick and his wife received tickets for
the show, but a heavy snowfall that day forced the area of snow emergency
and closed schools and offices. Nick says the snow started to accumulate, the
mayor issued a stern warning for drivers to stay off the roads. Nick is
a rule follower, he said, especially being a new mayor, I wanted
to be able to abide by her rules. That's very kind of you,
Nick. So from one forty four pm in the afternoon that day until three
pm, I continued to contact ticketmaster. He says he called the ticket master
about five times to ask about a cancelation and a refund. He explained for
the concern of driving for Bucks County down to the Met in the city.
He says he also tried calling the Met. Many fans took to social media
begging famous comedian Joey Gatto to cancel the concert. Nick said, we have
not been refunded the tickets or the money that my daughter in law and my
son put out for the tickets themselves period and it's a little over two hundred
dollars. The Troubleshooters reached out too. World famous comedian Joey Gatto, known
for hosting and Practical Jokers Live Nation and The Met. The met Philly tells
ABC six we had a great show with the Met Philly with the vast majority
of fans at attendants. We are proactively reaching out to fans who were unable
to attend to offer tickets for them to come to a future show. Nick
says he's very excited to choose a new show and ABC six leaves us with
this wisdom for the future. Experts advise people to get insurance when buying tickets
because you never know what might happen. I should get out there, but
I've got a lot to tell you about today. Donald Glover has confirmed there
is a script for a community. He said, I was told that the
script was done. I haven't ready yet, but I was told it was
done, So it's really just a scheduling thing. I'm in. I'm all
in. There's a movie coming out. It's a sequel to a movie about
a ghost. Wiring saying the title John because I don't want to summon this
particular spirit. But the title of the sequel to the original film. According
to the instagram for the movie, the new title is Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.
So you're not tricking me into saying that a third time. I don't want
that. Collider says. Chris Hardwick has a new gig. I'm a little
confused by this one. Chris Wall host up for auction giving viewers previews of
historic at Disney memorabilia before it's auctioned off. Okay, that's fine. The
series will air on the CW app so it's not even on the CW.
It's on the cw app. What's the viewership on the cw app less than
this podcast? Possibly so for the four of you, I have five listeners
for the four of you on the cw app. Chris Hardwick will host Up
for Auction February eighth. I'm sure he's paid better than I am. Eight
episodes on the cw app taking viewers to the Disney storage rooms to feast their
eyes on iconic Disney history. By the way, right now, I'm having
a good time hosting this again. I'm panicked that the audio sucked like it
did yesterday. Yesterday I felt like I had my good fastball and then that
audio being rotten killed me. And I feel like I have my fastball again
today. I hope this audio's fine. Stupid zoom. The image is shared
by Collider include shots of notable Disney memorabilia, including a vintage Dumbo ride car
and an old timey Disney mapp. Other items include a nineteen fifties Peter Pan
ride vehicle, a nineteen seventies Haunted Mansion stretching portrait, and an animatronic from
the It's a Small World attraction. Holy O, how I got six stories
left? We're not doing six more sketch Fest. What you guys got first
today? Oh my goodness, I forgot it's a Friday. There's like nine
billion shows. All right, we might be here for an hour. Gary
Meself a soda, seven o'clock, The Ground Links, Improvised Shakespeare. That's
a different show. Facial Recognition comedy. What's this? Nationally touring stand up
show featuring female identifying performers of Manasa, which is Middle Eastern, North African
and South Asian descent. The show was created as a response to tokenism and
underrepresentation and entertainment. That's my kind of show. I like seeing different shows.
Also at seven Fake Ted Talks, Adam Savage, Amy Schneider, Guy
Brainham, Jonathan Colton, Matt Bronger, and some others. That could be
good. The Crossword Show with Zach Sher, when Mosha Casher's on that one,
Mario Toby with Paul F. Tompkins. That's a lot of picks for
seven will come back, nine thirty Asian af and there are there's so many
comedians I can't count out loud. It looks like fifteen, sixteen or seventeen
comedians. I'm gonna make it go to that nine forty five Hot Sets with
Sam Clark and Veronica kwai Kowski, Fake Ted Talks, and Riotopia with Paula
Tompkins. All right, early show, let's do facial recognition comedy, and
then at nine point thirty, let's do Asian af Right. So tonight we're
gonna see like twenty five comedians, none of whom we've seen before. And
that's my approach to a comedy festival. If you're in New Jersey, Ramy
Yusef is taping his new special tonight, White Eagle Hall and Jersey City.
This will eventually wind up on HBO Max Max Max, HBO Max Max,
HBO, HBO Max, and then is your comedy news for today. If
