Caalaroga Shock Media. Hi, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. A
Thunderstorm Edition. I was sitting outside writing the show and it started a poor
and the inter lettermaned me, said, let's do a thunderstorm edition. And
look at that the rain is letting up just as I begin to record.
Let's start on gossip Corner. John mullaney and Olivia Munn flaunting their love,
says The New York Post. You may recall last week there were some rumors
that perhaps, possibly maybe they had gotten married. They were seen holding hands
as they made their way through the arrivals terminal at JFK Airport. Neither Munn
nor Malaney appeared to be wearing rings, though we're told m'laney looked dashing in
a dark jacket laid over a black button down shirt, pants and moccasins.
Olivia Munn was wearing an oversized black overcoat with a great top and lightwashed jeans.
When Malaniy recently did his late night show, apparently the set was inspired
by Johnny Carson's Malibu home. Lany tells Vanity Fair. I wasn't going for
an off putting aesthetic or anything. The set was actually modeled after Johnny Carson's
house in Malibu. A lot of brutaliss gold things, plus grapes. Glass
crapes are wonderful. I knew I didn't want a shiny black floor. I
knew I didn't want anything chrome. I didn't want anything that look like Late
Night A reality shows as they do now. Jim Norton has a new album
out. It is called Gender Reveal Disaster. He got up with. The
La Times is a profile of Jim and wife NICKI. How did you guys
meet? NICKI said, I was nineteen years old living in Norway. I
had my first apartment and I started speaking to this American online named Jim.
I saw a video of him on YouTube. I didn't know he was a
comedian because he was talking more seriously. I looked him up rode to him.
I think he also saw me online, so I guess he liked what
he saw. Norton said, I was delighted. She sent me a message
because I did this interview where I talked about trans women. I've talked about
it so many times and occasionally get messages, so we talked briefly. I
looked her up and saw she was doing cam stuff, So we started talking
more in Around two months later, I was like, why don't you come
visit. That's when she got rejected for a very minor marijuana charge. Nicky
says, I thought I'd have no problem getting in the States papers and the
guy goes, you're a convicted criminal. You need a waiver for this.
A waiver was a nightmare because you have to overcome all these things. That
started a really crazy process f us Jim said. It was insane. She
never even got call at drugs. It was literally a text message that was
read at the police station. It also made it much harder to prove that
it was a small amount because it was never an actual amount. Because of
that, it was seven months before we met, which is a lot of
talking and facetiming. Bill Burrd always told me to go overseas and they love
me, but I would never do it. I finally did it to meet
her, so I knew I liked her. After the first week in a
Norway, I knew I really liked her. Nicky says, Yeah, he
came to Norway, we hit it off really well. Three days after that
I went to Amsterdam with him. Jim was the first man to take me
out in public. The only times was like, wait, is being openly
trans in Norway not allowed? NICKI said, it's allowed, but I feel
like it's a good country to be trans in. But I do feel that
Norway, although very liberal, is a little bit more conservative for my parents.
It was definitely weird. It's way weirder there than it is here in
America. I have excess in my life, but being in Norway, it
was never asked out in public. I'd always felt hidden away. Jim changed
that whole world for me. The rain is letting up by the way,
which is good because I'm kind of try out here. TMZ had someone at
the Stormy Daniel's comedy show. Apparently Stormy joked on a whole bunch of different
topics, from her porn career to her political allegiance, and despite her issues
with the former president, Stormy says she's still a Republican. Oh yeah.
She talked about him too, reportedly calling him tiny, while also touching on
her financial woes, including the six hundred thousand dollars a judge ordered her to
pay Trump following the defamation lawsuit she claims her lawyer filed without her consent.
I think I guessed right about something. My memory's foggy. The National Comedy
Center has announced that Nate Bergatzy will headline the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. He
joins Jeff Ross and Nicole Byer. They were already performing. I feel like
I did a story where they hadn't announced the headliner, and I just felt
vibes that it was going to be Nate. I didn't know anything, but
all right, I guess my Spidery sent still works. Oh man, it
just got like eighty five times as humid, still raining, and there's thunder
in the distance. But boy, it is sticky out here. Tickets for
Nate's show at the National Comedy Center go on sale Tuesday. Go to Comedy
Center. I was actually up that way over the weekend. Didn't pop into
Jamestown, but it was up in the Niagara area. Very very nice.
Jimmy Kimmel, he's taking his annual summer vacation. Martin Short will sit in
tonight as the host. The rest of the week is Meryl Street tomorrow,
Selena Gomez Wednesday, Melissa McCarthy on Thursday. That sounds like a lot of
work for the producers could at least get one person a week. I don't
know if you saw this. Martin Short as his character Jimmy Glick, which
I have no interest in, sat in for Bill Maher and in character as
Glick interviewed Bill Maher on Bill Maher's own show. Danny Jealous announced to heal
the film his third special at the world famous Roxy Theater on September fourteenth.
Both shows are seven and nine point thirty. As with these past specials,
there's a large concept at the heart of this one. It remains a secret
for now. The general theme of the hours marriage and evolving as a humor
over time. Previously, for an example, he did six parts which saw
Danny deliver his first Hour over six nights at six unique venues, including a
Jim barbershop, a surf shop, an art gallery, recording studio, and
a comedy club. For some reason, they're making Spaceballs two. Josh gadd
and Mel Brooks are producing. It's Mel's birthday this week. I know that
because he's one of the topics on five Daily Trivia Questions. A whole day
of mel Brooks Trivia. Five Daily Trivia Questions where if you get your shows,
Oh, the rain's picking up again at de tails of four spaceballs,
two have not been shared. This can't possibly be a good idea, right,
Remember History of the World War Two came out last year and none of
us cared this. Don't do this. Josh gadd had boasted on Instagram just
handed in a film script that I think maybe the funniest and best thing I've
ever worked on. And I'm so freaking excited. I Carmel's getting a lot
of headlines. He has a new book, T Shirt Swim Club Stories from
Being Fat and a World of Thin People. The cover of the book is
a kid at the beach. Carmel said he was inspired to used that image
because he thought that anyone who was a fat kid would know that feeling.
He said, when you go to the pool and all of a sudden,
your big, fat body's hang out there, and you're like, Okay,
now I'll fix that. I'll put on a T shirt which immediately gets and
clings to every curve of your Torso it's a very silly, active desperation by
children. During his eight years working with Cordon on The Late Late Show,
he reached his peak weight of four hundred and twenty pounds. My blood pressure
was two hundred over one hundred and something, and I was really unhealthy.
When a doctor comes in and says, very seriously, you could die for
this. That's the kind of bloo pressure where you could have a heart attacker
stroke. But those are very realistic things that can happen. The idea of
having to lose two hundred pounds, well, that's like saying, oh hey,
why don't you build a rocket ship climb to the top of Mount Everest.
He did not do things like ozempic. He lost weight the old fashioned
weight, he says. He prepares meals in advance, weighs himself regularly check
his progress, and engages in his frequent hot girl walks, a phrase coin
on TikTok to describe a stroll. However, had ozempic been available at the
time, he said, one hundred percent would have tried it when I was
four hundred and twenty pounds, I would have been wearing an ozempic half shirt,
drinking out of an ozempic water bottle, roller around Hollywood advertising. I
would have been the poster child. Our entire society is built around simultaneously punishing
fat people and trying to make people as fat as possible. At the same
time, it's easier to get a cheeseburger than to get a salad. Yeah,
dude, I love chop salads. They're like sixteen dollars, and then
the world is cruel to the person who eats the cheeseburger. So it's ft
he has a message you'd like to tell his younger self. Go about your
life and find the people who love you for who you are. Some people
are gonna bully you, and most of the other people really aren't thinking about
you at all. Good advice from Ian Carmel and that it's your daily comedy
news Thunderstorm edition. Is it summer, Yes, it is if you skip
the weekend. Both episodes were an interview with Mike Chisholm. He is the
host of the Letterman podcast. We nerded out about Letterman both days. And
that's it. I'm trapped out here in the rain. I'd have to get
soaked to get back on the house, and I'm going to continue to sit
here under the umbrella, and I guess I'll let up the show and schedule
it. See you
