WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.000 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Joenni Mack with your daily comedy news. 2 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.440 Jerry Seinfeld in the news yet again. Howard Stern has accepted Jerry's apology. 3 00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.280 On his radio show, Howard said Jerry had said that I'm basically an interviewer 4 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.600 and that I'm not a comedian. That now comedians of podcasts and comedians are, 5 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.120 you know, funnier or something than me. I read and I went, 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.920 that's weird because Jerry's a personal friend of ours, especially his wife Jessica 7 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.600 is really good friends with Beth Stern. Stern confirmed that Seinfeld called him quote 8 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.439 immediately to apologize for the comments, and Stern was happy to forgive his friend. 9 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.119 Or Howard I said, Jerry, you don't even have to please. 10 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.000 This is embarrassing. I'm the king of going on the air and having millions 11 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.799 of regrets afterward. Apology accepted, I don't care, And you know what, 12 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.399 I'm not a comedian. I'm an interviewer. I don't know what I 13 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.960 am. I've always considered myself a bit of a comedian. But whatever it 14 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.640 is, don't worry about it. Time out. Here's Howard, yet again 15 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.039 positioning himself as the great interviewer, third act Howard, revisionist history Howard. 16 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.400 Not the guy that did beastiality dial date. No, not the guy that 17 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.680 had women come in and ride a device that I can't even describe if I 18 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.000 want to keep my podcast clean. Not that guy. Not the guy that 19 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.879 did blackface. Not the guy that was route to Bob Hope when Bob was 20 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.040 like ninety five. Not the guy that had a war with bon Jovi, 21 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.959 Not the guy that had a war with Sam Kinnison. Not the guy that 22 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.519 didn't book people like Gilbert Gottfried once this third act thing started, Howard. 23 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.879 If he's not a comedian, he's an interviewer for Howard Stern. I don't 24 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.200 know what I am. I've always considered myself a bit of comedian. But 25 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.920 whatever it is, don't worry about it. Stern explained that Seinfeld apologized for 26 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.719 a really long time, and he said it came out really wrong. According 27 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.799 to Howard, Jerry asked to come on the radio show to apologize there, 28 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.519 but Stern said, not necessarily. I don't want to get into it. 29 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.280 It's awkward. It's fine. I've got to call up people and apologize for 30 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.239 stuff I've done on the air. When I'm a huge fan of these people, 31 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.120 I don't know what gets into me. I f up sometimes, So 32 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.319 it wasn't that big a deal. I didn't really think much about it. 33 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.519 Now this is me being a sure II. They go all out radio war 34 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.000 with nineteen eighty five Howard Stern killing Jerry over this, just for the drama 35 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.400 of it. That's what we loved, Howard taking the high road and going 36 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.919 it's okay. I mean, where's the fun in that? Hey, Sam 37 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.680 Catison, It's all cool, bon Chovy, don't worry about it. Where's 38 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.199 the fun in that? Hey, zoo keeper peace Bro, where's the fun 39 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.199 in that? Howard? Howard Stern, the Great interviewer? Ignore the part 40 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.360 before twenty fifteen. U. I'm in a good mood today. I don't 41 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.080 pick the news. I just tell you what the news is. Andrew Schultz 42 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.120 compared to Kim Kardashian to a robot with no human aspect. Schultz was on 43 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.439 his own podcast, Flagrant and said that Kim sat with perfect posture for three 44 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.360 hour street and seemed disassociated during the roost of Tom Brady, which we're still 45 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.960 talking about ten days later. Schultz said, even when she was up there, 46 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.159 they were kind of booing her. It didn't make her smile, didn't 47 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.000 make her set. It was nothing. Kim's up there doing her set, 48 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.280 and this guy in the stands out of nowhere just goes bitch, just as 49 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.680 if he'd been holding it in for a whole minute and he just couldn't hold 50 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.039 it in anymore. Just seeing Kim Kardashian on stage for three minutes was too 51 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.879 much for him to hold it in. Bert Krasier and Tom Sigora on the 52 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.919 Two Bears podcasts they had Jimmy Carr on I was trying to go back through 53 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.400 the Facebook group to think, whoever told me to listen to this? Thank 54 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.360 you? Whoever it was, Dylan Scott, whoever it was, thank you. 55 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.240 I pulled several clips here. First up here is Bert and Tom talking 56 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.199 about how they prepped for the roast. Oh, let's talk about our experience 57 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.400 with the roast. They get a call like a month ago and they say, 58 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.240 hey, we're doing this roast to Tom Brady, would you be interested 59 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.159 in doing it? And you go I said yes, we're both in, 60 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.360 and I go no. He said absolutely, I go no. You were 61 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.560 like, there's nothing we can win out of this. Like, what are 62 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.800 you talking about, Like, we've never been on roast, we're not roasters 63 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.360 or anything. But then they said, we're trying something different where we want 64 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.120 you guys to do it together. And even then I was like, you 65 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.039 mean like just go to the podium together and rose together. And they were 66 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.520 like, no, we want to do like we're thinking of, like trying 67 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.479 something that we've never done before. I think they wanted a sports center thing 68 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.319 first. Yeah. Yeah, And we were like, nah, I got 69 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.080 to give flowers. I give him to you last night. I'll give them 70 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.399 to everyone. Yeah. Well you said no, and you said you called 71 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.680 me and said, we're not saying yes yet. We're gonna have a meeting 72 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.240 with Netflix. We're gonna talk through with the writers, yeah, and with 73 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:28.040 the producers. So we got on a thing and in a thirty minute zoom 74 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.120 call, I spoke zero, which I think everyone will find shocking. Yeah, 75 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.639 that's true. And you talked the whole time, and you had a 76 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.800 million questions of things angles, you liked, angles, you wanted to do, 77 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.279 things you were cool to do. You liked the multimedia presentation, you 78 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.399 liked it being different than everyone else's. Yeah, because you're like it and 79 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.879 there you can't really draw comparison because it's apples and oranges. So we can 80 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.800 succeed on our own or fail on our own. Yeah. And then at 81 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.519 the end you were like, Bird, do you have any do you have 82 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.759 anything to say? And I said, I said yes, Thursday, Yeah, 83 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.879 that's exactly what you said yessday, I said yes, before we had 84 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.199 any idea what we were doing. Then Jimmy Carr joined what was interesting to 85 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.399 me about the Jimmy Carr segments? And I could listen to Jimmy Carr talk 86 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.399 about comedy all day? Apparently because I did it this morning and I did 87 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.439 it yesterday. This turned into a conversation between Bert Kreischer and Jimmy Carr. 88 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.600 Sogora kind of disappeared during it. I don't think there's anything weird going on, 89 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.240 or maybe Bert was just excited. But you know, I'm listening for 90 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.560 an hour and I'm like, is sigory even there? I got a text? 91 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.120 Did you hear the text? I'm gonna get more texts. I'm supposed 92 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.680 to be ordering lunch from Jersey Mikes, so the family is going to be 93 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.480 texting me orders. Why don't you mute your phone, John, because that's 94 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.439 not fun. That's not how I like to do this podcast. I like 95 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.160 all the quirkiness. Anyway, Sigora kind of disappeared in the middle of it. 96 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.319 No harm, no foul, just noticed it. They started talking about 97 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.720 Tony Hingecliff and echoed what I said the other day that I think Tony just 98 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.720 took a step up in class, as they say, and from time to 99 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.199 time you've heard me. Here's another order? Could you order for Jersey Mikes? 100 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:10.439 I better pause this podcast, be right back. All right, I've 101 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.439 got the orders here. We've got a number fourteen, the veggie number seven, 102 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.360 turkey and provolon that's for me, an original Italian number thirteen, and 103 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.279 a Chipotle cheese steak. No, we don't want a Chipotle cheese steak. 104 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.439 See it's a good thing I'm doing this bit. We want a regular cheese 105 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120 steak. All right, that was close. I'm gonna hit next here, 106 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.360 thirty eight eighty. I'm not telling you my credit card number. I'm telling 107 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.560 them, but I'm not telling you done. Where were we? What's gonna 108 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.480 happen now is I'm waiting for my banker to call me back. And that's 109 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.360 why I had my phone unmuted, So now that it's muted, I'm gonna 110 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.199 wind up missing his call. Oh were we let's see. Oh yeah, 111 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.360 I've talked about the past where I do this Emperor room thing where I don't 112 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.959 really laugh. I analyze comedy, and comedians do that in the back of 113 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.399 the room. And here's Jimmy Carr talking about that very thing. I would 114 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.439 say, like I was watching, it is a bit of you that watches 115 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.160 in, you know from the audience is a comic going that's good, that's 116 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.439 good, that's great. Line. Okay, you know, you'll kind of 117 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.480 you're kind of analyzing. I think I wish it was up back. And 118 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.120 then one more clip the setup here is Tom and Bert were talking about how 119 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.519 they were impressed that Kim Kardashian stayed on point even after being booed, and 120 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.920 that led to a discussion of the importance of staying on script, which I 121 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.199 clearly just violated, or ordering Jersey mikes in the middle of my podcast. 122 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.160 This was something that I kept noticing too, because in seeing prompter and watching 123 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.240 all the acts, one of the things that you pick up on was the 124 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.680 people that didn't do well, and there were a few that like it was. 125 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.680 I'm saying, like the regular roasting was was. It wasn't because of 126 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.360 them or the material. It's that they kept going off script. Yeah, 127 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.079 because we would run with that and they commit to the bit. They would 128 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.519 read like the top line and you're like okay, and then and they don't 129 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.680 realize, see, we know how important economy of words and like the you 130 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.360 gotta say this before this is the connective tissue to that, and they would 131 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.160 go first line and then I would watch them like riff on that and then 132 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.759 try to pick up and you're like, yeah, it doesn't work like that. 133 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.959 You have to stick to the whole thing for the thing at the end 134 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:16.720 to pay off. Yeah. I thought. I thought Kim cutish she did 135 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.399 a great job. I mean, the joke is why I wouldn't have told 136 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.199 anyone. The reason the reason I think she was able to witch because she 137 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.600 ended up getting a big couple of big pops, is because she stayed in 138 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.840 the pocket to get booed like that and to just sit with it, yes, 139 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.159 okay, yeah, and then to do it the confidence yeah yeah, 140 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.759 like to get booed by that many people, It's like most people would crumble 141 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.320 while we're analyzing comedy The eight hundred Pound Gorilla tells us Mark Norman's got a 142 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.840 new documentary called Page to Stage. Mark is ready to pull back the curtain 143 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.240 on how he writes his signature jokes and open up on his creative process. 144 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.200 Page to Stage is available on punch Up Dot Live. The doc follows Mark 145 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.720 Norman as he takes an inkling of a premise that came to him in the 146 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.440 bathroom of a fast food chain to five different stages in New York City that 147 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.559 very night. Over the course of six months, Mark sculpts his joke failure 148 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.919 after failure throughout Europe in the Midwest, until it's finally ready for a sold 149 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.200 out show at Carnegie Hall. That's fun, Norman says, these jokes don't 150 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.840 write themselves. Rolling Stone caught one of Ali Wong's shows last week during the 151 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.799 festival. She told the audience, I didn't expect the news of my divorce 152 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.360 to be so widespread in public. I felt embarrassed and ashamed, but I 153 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.399 didn't realize that all these media outlets were acting like a bat signal, letting 154 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.039 all potentially interested men know. I've never been pursued this much of my life. 155 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.480 I get a phone call from this guy who I met a dinner party 156 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.639 in the past and he got my number from a mutual friend. He was 157 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.159 like, Hey, it just hopped near the news about your divorce and I've 158 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.840 had a crush on you forever. I actually told my best friend years ago 159 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.559 that you were my dream girl. And you know it sounds crazy, but 160 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.440 I want you to be my girlfriend, she jokes. I was just like, 161 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.120 I just paid twenty five dollars for the dating app. You seem really 162 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.039 nice, but I got to get my money's worth every time she arrived at 163 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.759 a new location on her vacation, and that man sent flowers to every hotel 164 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.879 she stayed at. When she told her girlfriends about the gesture, they thought 165 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.840 it. When she told her male friends, they said the man sounded like 166 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.799 a psychopath. I'll go with the latter as well, she said. That's 167 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.600 how cheap and lazy men have become. When a fellow man commits any act 168 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.440 of kindness and a romantic gesture, it must be a symptom of an undiagnosed 169 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.720 mental illness. Ellen Degenerous is returning new Netflix for what she's calling her final 170 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480 stand up special. This is six years after her last hour, which was 171 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.960 called Relatable. This one will air later in the year. Ellen says to 172 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.240 answer the questions everyone was asking, Yes, I'm going to talk about it. 173 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.679 Yes, this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that 174 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.759 pretty in real life. Let's see what's happening down at the Sydney Comedy Festival. 175 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.399 I've already played this clip as I pulled the audio, and I really 176 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.960 like this from Kevin Duo Jin. Kevin Jin is the physically largest Asian Australian 177 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.840 comedian in Sydney. He'd like to talk to you about Buddhism. There'll be 178 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.320 Zen Riddle's diagrams and family photos from Kevin's childhood. Before I hit the clip 179 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.080 here, I should probably tell you he has a long strand of hair, 180 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.320 which you will notice, and he will explain I have a foot long ret 181 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:13.960 title because I want to have a social life on hard mode and I hate 182 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.080 being able to date. My mom actually gave me some dating advice. She 183 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.240 said, Kevin, if a girl ever likes you, she's wrong, which 184 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.039 is very mean but also very silly, because I'm not going to take dating 185 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.960 advice from a virgin. I don't mean a brag, but I've actually taken 186 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.200 several women out for a night in the city, you know, get a 187 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:43.799 nice dinner in Chinatown or as I like to call it town. At the 188 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.600 end of the night, I'd be like, oh, hey, I had 189 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.240 a really good time. Just want to be clear, was this a date? 190 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.039 And sometimes I'll say, ah, I just want to be friends and 191 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.480 that's cool. But sometimes I'll make it weird. They'll be like, oh, 192 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.639 I just want to be friends. Also, I don't date Asians. 193 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:11.240 It's not exactly constructed criticism, like, if anything, this is a genetic 194 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.039 condition. But so Rondo for had a really good comeback. They're like, 195 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.679 all the Donasians and I'll be like, you know what, that's totally cool. 196 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:28.120 It's totally fine. I don't date racists. A little clapter at the 197 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.600 end there, but I laughed at the front end, really enjoyed that. 198 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.559 Ali Morgan's show was called hard Lunch or is it called hard Launch? I 199 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.399 wrote both down. I'm gonna guess launch is correct. Remember the old thing 200 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.600 from the seventies far out space nuts was it? They were going? They 201 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.279 pushed the launch button instead of the lunch button, and they wound up in 202 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.559 space? Remember that, you know what I'm talking about it's called hard launch 203 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.200 is Ali Morgan's show no clip, But being really honest, what caught my 204 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.080 eye was the cover art that she's using. She looks nice in this photo. 205 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.720 And you know, if you're in any sort of show biz us recording 206 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.240 a podcast in your basement and I did actually shower before the podcast today, 207 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.679 a major step up. How you look is part of it, it really 208 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.600 is. You know, why did I click her cover art as opposed to 209 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.240 thirty others? Well I did click thirty others, but nobody else had any 210 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.120 audio, neither does she. But this was the one I went, Ah, 211 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.240 I'm interested in seeing what Alie Morgan has to say. Ali graduated from 212 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.720 drama school ready to take on any role that came her way, and what 213 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.759 came her way was commercials. The Sydney Morning Harold said newcomer could be a 214 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.919 younger Tim mentioned that's how praise four stars. The Sydney scoop five stars belly 215 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.639 laughs, they said. Australian Arts Review said we can expect Morgan to make 216 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.279 some big waves in the near future, and the Theater People gave her four 217 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.120 and a half stars, saying part bo Burnham, part hannigansby Morgan holds her 218 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.080 audience in the palm of her hand, A right that sounds good. Far 219 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.679 Out magazine got up with John Clees. Clees was talking about how there should 220 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.919 be a separate OSCAR category for comedies. The topic Standy Kuprick's Doctor Strangelove. 221 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:05.320 The nineteen sixty four movie was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Actor 222 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.000 for Peter Sellers. At one Nune Clease noted that Sellers lost out on Best 223 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.759 Actor to Rex Harrison for his role in My Fair Lady, Please feels that 224 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.879 Sellers had one of the greatest comedy performances of all time. Of course, 225 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.360 they never give oscars to funny people. I think there is an extraordinary, 226 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.200 completely incorrect idea that drama is somehow more important and more difficult than comedy, 227 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.240 whereas, in my opinion, comedy is a great deal more difficult. All 228 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.240 you have to do if you get a straight part is you've got to make 229 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.360 certain choices to make them believable. If you've got to be funny, you've 230 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.840 got to make certain choices make them believable, and then put all of your 231 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.919 comedy technique on top of that, which a lot of straight actors don't have. 232 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.240 There are some actors who can do funny and some very good actors who 233 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.360 can't. But I think all the very very best comedians can act interesting. 234 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.000 Seth Myers he'll be hosting Late Night with Seth Myers through twenty twenty eight. 235 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.480 In case you're curious about the rest of the gang, John Oliver's deal goes 236 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.360 through twenty six. Stephen Colbert has a three year deal that he signed last 237 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.720 year, so two years left on that, and Kim All he's getting near 238 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.799 the end here of this deal of twenty five. He's talked about retiring, 239 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.960 but I'll believe it when I see it. And the Stranger dot Com has 240 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.159 been asking comedians who were performing at the Egyptian about the ghosts. They asked 241 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.240 Sam Miller, Hey, Sam Miller, this shows out the Egyptian, which 242 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.279 is rumored to be haunted. Do you believe in ghosts? I don't know 243 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.720 why I like this, bet, Sam Miller said, I don't, and 244 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.879 I checked. I used to stay up for three days at a time, 245 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.559 and if anyone would have seen a ghost would have been me. But I've 246 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.759 been wrong before, so don't take any chances. And that is your comedy 247 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.519 news for today.
