There al dot com as in Alabama. Dot com spoth to Morland Wayans
he is touring, and he said, I think the world's going through enough
problems. I don't care about politics. I don't care about like all the
divisive topics. I mentioned some things, But the reality is I talk about
me because that disarms everybody, and people could be so sensitive nowadays. But
it's not in the comedy clubs. But I feel like for me, my
discovery of self as an artist means explore myself, explore my pain, and
the deeper I go in there the funnier I became his new specials called Good
Grief. It'll be out on Amazon this summer. Filmed at the Apollo.
Good Grief is about dealing with the death and loss of his parents. He
says, taking you through this dark journey that's really light because what you find
through all this is the appreciation of your parents, no matter how good or
bad they were. Nobody's perfect. But in the special, I embrace what's
good, make fun of what was bad, and I leave them with a
smile in my heart and the audience with a smile. Tracy Morgan will headline
the twelfth annual April Fools Comedy Jam. When is the April Fool's Comedy Jam?
Wrong? It's on April fifth for some reason. This is in the
Barclay Center in Brooklyn, where Sting's playing, and I didn't want to go.
I mentioned the other day I'm not paying two hundred and ninety dollars for
Sting tickets. Also, I'm not going to Brooklyn. I was trying to
get a different venue. I'm not going from New Jersey to Brooklyn, and
you insane. I'd rather fly to la and see Sting there would actually be
easier. I digress. The twelfth Annual April Fools Comedy Jam at the Barcley
Center, which I won't go to. I headlined Tracy Morgan. Also stars
Deal, Hugh Lee, Bruce, Bruce Nephew, Tommy, Lonnie Love,
dj Envy, Jess, Hilarious, London Brown, Chante Wayans, Tory Hart,
Brian Hooks, Coco Brown, and more. We are told fans can
expect an unforgettable night of entertainment. Okay, cracked dusted this one off.
I thought this was interesting. Early in Norm MacDonald's stand up career. He
had a routine about dogs that did really well on late night shows. The
joke, these dogs, they're getting kind of expensive. He goes to a
pet store where a high pressure salesman tries to sell him a five hundred dollars
pit bull. So the guy goes, buy this dog. Here, there's
a pit bull. It would protect your valuables. You know, I don't
have any valuables. If I bought a pit bull, that would be the
most valuable thing I own. I'd have to buy something to protect it.
I'd be out shopping for wolverines. My half assed norm is even more half
assed than usual. Listen a Saturday show and you'll understand why. At one
point, Norma told Tom Green Sam Kinnison came to Canada. He wasn't famous
or nothing. He took a liking to me and took me across the country.
Was the greatest time I ever had. I had a good act.
Sam said, you've got good jokes, man. I know I should talk
about dogs here. Really interested in dogs? Norm said, no, I
don't give a hood about dogs. Kennison said, why don't you talk about
what you're interested in? Norm said. From then on it became death.
I don't know what the average person thinks. I think you know it's always
on your mind. I'll ruminated about it for long periods of time for no
purpose or no avail. It's worthless except for generating jokes. He said,
I did death material in my stand up special. Now that's gone so I
can move on. I really just think about stuff for stand up. I
got caught on one subject for a long period of time. Once I've exhausted
the subject, I'm free now in my life not to think about death.
Norm said, I'm very, very proud of stand up. I'm ashamed of
almost everything else like this interview. The Aussies did not enjoy a comedy roast
of John Klees. Yahoo says despite heavy promotion by the local network on which
it aired, the roast of John Clees was a ratings and critical failure.
I got less than one third of the audience that reality series Married at First
Sight got. Wow Viewers expressed their disappointment at the unfunny hour long show.
One person on Twitter said, we have an enviable climate, but Australians do
not do comedy well. The John Clees roast was a shocker. Comedian Tom
Gleeson joke. When I was growing up, I was a big fan of
Monty Python. But then again, I was also a fan of Bill Cosby
and Ralph Harris. So I'm just bracing myself for the allegations. When viewers
said it's important when you're ro John Clees on National TV to actually roast the
recipient, I asked chat GPT to roast John Clees. They said John Colees's
comedy is so timeless, even as wrinkles of bunch lines. They say,
behind every great man is a great woman. In John Cleese's case, it's
probably his therapist. See those aren't bad. The Guardian watched the film Sorry
Not Sorry and wrote, the outrageousness of what Louis c K did is totally
lost in the film. Caroline sue, I hope I'm saying your name right.
Suh is a filmmaker and when of the stuff about Louis came out in
twenty seventeen, Caroline said, my immediate reaction was, honestly, is it
that bad? And my generation when we were coming up, we saw a
lot of bad behavior and it was like, that's just the way it is.
Shortly afterwards, in a statement, Louis c K said at the time,
I said to myself what I did was okay because I never showed a
woman my stuff without asking first, which is also true. What I learned
later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another
person, asking them to look at your stuff isn't a question. It's a
predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired
me, and I wielded that power irresponsibly. Caroline analyzed her own initial reaction
and began to see it as outdated, but she wanted explore it came from.
She teamed up with fellow filmmaker Karen Monas to create this documentary. Monas
initially worried about giving Louis a platform, but said they centered on the women
and realized how little most people knew about the backlash. This is interesting,
writer Abbie Shackner The Guardian says essential to both the film and the original York
Times story. After she was subjected to Louis Ck doing self stuff during a
phone call, was criticized in a Netflix special by Dave Chappelle. According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Chappelle be Little's her claim that CK's behavior deterred her from
pursuing a career in comedy, and says, B word, you don't know
how to hang up a phone. How the after you're going to survive and
show business if this is an actual obstacle to your dreams. So the question
is always why did the women react like that? It's never why did ck
do what he did? Caroline says, the outrageousness of what Louis did is
totally lost in the discussion. Sorry not sorry. He's on streaming platforms w
comal Bell is doing a San Francisco residency after a five year break. The
Chronicle spoke to him. He says, it's been hombling because it doesn't come
back right away meeting the comedy. It's twenty twenty four, and it's the
election. If there's a time for me specifically to be doing stand up comedy,
it's right now. He spends about an hour each week cycling through fresh
strokes, riffing on everything from the Fulsome Street Fair to emoji's and the upcoming
election. He marks his notes scribbled on a stack of loose papers that he
props up on a music stand next to him. Tick Totoro's making the rounds
she's got a special coming out, and as she starts to do press again,
I'm reminded the last time she did a press tour for a special she
didn't come across pretty well. Was it with Conan? Somebody mispronounced her last
name and she was kinda like, I don't know, there was a better
way to handle it. Really turned me off to her, to be honest.
Anyway, she was on with Kelly and Mark Consuelos. Investigative reporter Kelly
Rippo said, so you're a mom to seven year old twin boys. Tig
said, I thought you were going to say seven children, but yeah,
they'll be eight in June. Ripper said, oh wow. I always think
that having kids' horme. Having two at the same time seems to be like
baffling to me. Do your kids know you? Do they know what you
do for a living? Tick said, yeah, they know me. They
don't think I'm funny. I'm that person that's like a hack in the house,
but they know I do stand up and when they see me or anything
I'm in on TV or streaming services, they refer to me as Tignazaro,
So they'll see me and say, oh, there's tig Nazaro. There's sting
Nazaro. Did you scroll right past? TJ Miller spoke to w RK or
DJ has partnered with two family businesses for his lines of peanut butter and hot
sauce. Did not see that coming. His new comedy album is titled Smooth
Peanut Butter. Miller said he loves peanut butter so much and he wanted to
make his own, but he needed to find the right partner. Back in
twenty nineteen, he tweeted about the company be Happy Peanut Butter, saying it
was the best he's ever had. They saw it and flaunted their newfound fan.
Within two years, the small, family owned Indiana Peanut Butter Company partnered
with TJ. Miller to produce his own line of custom peanut butters. But
wait, there's more. Years earlier, he had made his own line of
hot sauces with the Skull Brothers, also a family owned company in Indiana.
He said, I had some other stuff. I liked it, and he
asked me one time if I'd ever be interested in partnering with them, and
I was like, Hell, yes, let's do it. They had three
different sauces. TJ said his favorite was the TJ's Choice Chipotle Hot Sauce.
You can find all his other sauces, including the one that the article says
we cannot say. Oh, I'm going to look on his personal website.
TJ said, I'm glad I got to work with these families for these products.
All right, let's go to TJ Miller. Okay, I typed in
Tjmiller dot com and I don't see anything. But there's a website called Tjmiller
does not have a website dot com. There's a storefront. Here's some hot
sauces. All right, we're getting closer. Here we have TJ's Choice Chipotle
Hot Sauce twenty bucks, Extreme Gangster Heat Hot Sauce twenty bucks, TJ's Diet
Hot Sauce twenty bucks, and autographed hot sauce is coming soon. Those will
cost you thirty dollars if you want autographed hot sauce. And the one that
we can't say is called f Intense Ghost pepper type stuff. Meanwhile, the
peanut butter Toffee Crispy twenty dollars, Chocolate cherry twenty dollars, Chocolate Coconut almond,
and all three peanut butters. Come with an autograph for just thirty dollars.
I don't know if this is an official site or not, because it's
called the TJ. Miller does not have a website dot com and the Google
slug is welcome to not TJ. Miller's website, so who knows. People
also ask did TJ Miller have brain surgery? What? Wait? What?
I clicked on it? TJ stated he became more philosophical and narrated his behaviors
and was unable to sleep while filming Yogi Bear in New Zealand in twenty ten.
His brain surgery was successful. Wait what did I just stumble into?
And why don't I edit this so I don't sound like an idiot Wikipedia.
Miller described learning about an undiagnosed cerebral orteria venus malformation on his right frontal lobe
on the Peede Holmes podcast You Made It Weird back in twenty eleven. He's,
Wow, that's awkward, especially because that's the end of the podcast.
I guess we're ending very awkward today. See you tomorrow
