Kalaroga Shark Media. Wow, what famous comedian hasn't been funny since two thousand
and six? Are we gonna go there? John? Yeah, I think
we are. But first we'll start with John mullaney, who has even been
funny in twenty twenty four. So it's not John Mullaney. I'll tell you
who it wasn't about three or four stories from now h m'laney talking about his
late night show. Deadline has more information and m'laney said, what's great about
the Netflix Festival is everybody's in town at the same time. We get to
see each other and we go to each other's shows. There's that brunch where
we all eat salty waffles that doesn't happen a lot. We're not in the
same place at the same time. I thought, what's cool is the place
that we're in is the weirdest, most interesting city in the world, just
the strangest place I've ever been. I've always wanted to do something about La
Would he do it again? He joked with Nick Kroll about doing it and
maybe Montreal around the just for last festival, but that event went bankrupt.
He said his inspirations included Glenn O'Brien's New York Public Access series TV, which
ran between seventy eight and eighty two. I grew up in New York City.
Now, if you grew up in New York City, you only had
cable if you lived in Manhattan. I lived in Queen's. We didn't get
cable until listen to this nineteen eighty seven. So I'm not familiar with Glen
O'Brien's public access series. And well, John Mulaney, John Mlaney's not old
enough for that. John Mullaney's forty one Lazy Matt twenty four minus forties eighty
four. When did you see this thing? John? I'm very curious about
that. I've never even heard of Glen O'Brien's New York public access series TV.
Party doesn't mean it's not good. Maybe it's on YouTube. Maybe I'll
check it out. Move along, Okay. Other inspirations Larry King Live and
Oh that one, early MTV and the McLaughlin group. Remember that, the
syndicated public affairs show that discussed politics in a roundtable format, and SNL made
a lot of fun of it. Some guests who passed included David Lynch,
Werner Herzog, and David Lee Roth. M'lleanie says, David Lynch passed.
He said, I don't understand what this is. I'm working on a new
art and I have to keep my eye on the donut. Which was the
best pass. Everyone did pass in a nice way. Werner Herzog passed.
He said, I have to keep away from the comedians. M'laney told Jimmy
Kimmel David Lee Roth was one of so many people who turned down an appearance.
Melaney said, he passed, which is okay. I respect the man.
He's a solid guy. I originally asked him to be the band leader,
but then I was like, oh, or just a guest. M'laney
said he really wanted to talk about life in Altadena. I hope I pronounced
that correctly locals a part of La County that's located just north of Pasadena where
Roth once resided. But David Lee Roth said no to that too. I
honestly like, I don't know how to appeal to him because I'm like,
it's David Lee Roth. I just call him up and say let's party,
and he might show up. Kimill reminded Melaney that davidly Roth is an EMT.
Remember when David Lee Roth was in New York City. EMT, maybe
just call and say I'm bleeding and he'll come over. That's really funny.
M'laney then said, can you imagine being in a medical crisis and you're strapped
down on the board and your head's in that brace and you look up and
it's David Lee Roth, Like that must be insane. Melaney said he was
the most self conscious by the appearance of David Letterman. I worried that he'd
be like, oh, you think you know how to run a weird T
show. I certainly wasn't. But then again, I don't think he or
I were trying to run a weird show. We're trying to do a good
show. And those were the ideas we had, and yeah, they're weird.
I did actually have the thought a few times it might be too mainstream.
People will think I sold out. No, not at all. John.
On Saturday, I have an interview with Jason Zinman from The New York
Times. We talk about mulaney and Letterman. I got really good response to
last Saturday's interview with Mark Malkoff from the Inside Late Night podcast on The Carson
Podcast, if you didn't listen to last Saturday, please go back and check
it out. It was fantastic. This Saturday also fantastic. Might John Stewart
be sticking around a little bit, that's the current speculation. His podcast debuted
at number one. It's not that good though, John. I actually got
a text from an industry peer going to listen to this thing yet, and
the industry peer and my notes over the same, so we'll see there.
Back in April, Stuart told the Daily Show audience, I have to say
it's been lovely. Once a week is about right for me with people and
people with me. At an event on Friday night, Stuart said, the
one thing I will say is I walked away nine years ago because I was
burnt out, and I don't feel that right now. I feel reinvigorated.
Latenighter, dot Com, Reorport Jimmy Kimmel will take the summer off again.
He'll have guest hosts. Bill Maher on his podcast was chatting with Ray Romano,
and it's told Ray that Bill's not gonna play colleges anymore. Mars said
they don't want to hear anything they don't already agree with. They don't want
their minds, pride open, and you know what, let somebody else do
it. Ray said, you'd have to be half this way and half that
way, maybe meaning both sides of the political spectrum. Mars said, first
of all, that protests before he even got on the campus. I was
uninvited when I was invited to be the keynote speaker at the Berkeley graduation,
then reinvited with today. Are you kidding these kids? That'd be the first
thing they would do. They don't want to hear anything they don't already agree
with. I'm not gonna hold my tongue when they embrace stupid ideas, and
of course they'll just say the trightest, easiest, most erroneous thing lobbed at
people like us. You're old now, it's about just get off my long.
You put zero amount of thinking to the actual point of making. You
don't engage with the actual idea. Should we bring communism back? Because I
think it's a bad idea? Maybe because I remember what happened the first time
and you don't. You don't care to learn. Wow, Will Ferrell remember
how I open up the podcast? Will Ferrell wants to be people's sexiest man
alive. Will tell people he's planning the seeds stand up on the cover because
you guys never have comedians, so it's going internally all right, sexiest man.
So that got me wondering Will Ferrell. Hmm, when's the last time
Will Farrell was funny? Was it a the roast of Tom Brady? Nope,
but definitely wasn't then, so I went to IMDb dot com. Now
I know right now, you're like, John, you're being a donkey hole.
All right, let's just go through the IMDb. You ready, well
up a chair. I got a lot to read here. You let me
know when we get to something. Okay. Most recent appearance John Malini's Everybody's
in La Not Funny TV series In the Know. He played Gene Quiz,
Lady Streees, Barbie Spirited, Have your ELFA Merry Christmas, The Shrink next
Door, Eurovision Song Contest, The Story of Fire Saga you want to go
with that? In Practical Joke, Ris, the movie Downhill Between Two Ferns,
The Movies Ville, The Lego Movie Two, Drunk History, Holmes and
Watson, I Love You America. The twenty eighteen Rose Parried No Activity,
where he played Adrian back in twenty seventeen, You want to give it to
Daddy's Home two. In twenty seventeen, his appearance on the Jim Gaffigan show
Zoolander two, Daddy's Home, The Last Man on Earth, The Spoils before
dying a deadly adoption Get hard? Are you mad at me yet for reading
this list? Because I'm gonna keep going till I get to one. Welcome
to Sweden, The Spoils of Babylon, The Lego Movie twenty fourteen. He's
great in that, he's not funny. It's a great movie. He's great
in it, fantastic job, but he's not funny in it. Twenty thirteen
Anchorman two, The Legend continues. I might give you that one. I'll
give you that one. You know what. I take back my two thousand
and six twenty thirteen Anchorman two, The Legend Continues. He played Ron Burgundy,
so I've changed my mind. I was wrong twenty thirteen of two thousand
and six. Now other things. He was really good in the office as
D'Angelo Vickers, where he played it straight. I thought he was great in
the office, and I was sad when they they didn't kill him off,
but they knocked him off, but he was great in that he would have
been good playing that role, not for laughs. In two thousand and nine,
he's in something called The Goods Live Hard, Cell Hard. He plays
McDermott, interesting used car liquidator Don Reddy is hired by a falling auto dealership
to turn their Fourth of July sale into a majorly profitable event. It stars
Jeremy Piven, Ving Rains and David Keckner, and of course Will Ferrell as
McDermott. That's not what I was going for either. Two thousand and six
Talladega Knights, that one was going to give him. All right, now,
you've made an error to me of Will Ferrell. But he was ice
called to me when I met him fifteen years ago, invited him on Jim
Brewers Show, which I think was more about his feud with Jim than me.
But hey, met you once, didn't enjoy it. Hannah Einbinder's special
is out today. Among the topics spoilers her time as a cheerleader at Beverly
Hills High School. She says, I was very dedicated to perfection. I
think my work ethic can be very obviously to me, at least be attributed
to my time as a cheerleader. She also dealt with ADHD and said,
I was really rambunctious, and I really think Jim Carrey's physical style spoke to
me, and I kind of started to mimic him. In college, she
got the opportunity to open for Nicole Byer. Then she realized how important comedy
would be to her life. That's what became very clear to me. I
didn't really view it as this is my career. I just maybe naively viewed
it as I'm obsessed with this and I'm going to pursue this and I can't
stop doing it. Mo Welch's special is also out today. Now, the
initial release had it coming out on eight hundred Pound Guerrilla tomorrow, but the
eight hundred Pound Gerilla website itself says it's out today. I assume they would
know when their own special is out, so let's guess it's today. Filmed
at the Lawnd Room in Highland Park in all Over, Illinois, mo Welch's
debut special follows her as she explains her lifelong obsession with dad jokes as a
way to process the aftermath of her own father's abandonment. Kevin Hart never Afraid
to work. He's back for a fourth season of Heart to Hearts on Peacock.
The new season will feature Mac Packer, Andy Samberg, Jutt Appato,
Ben Affleck, George Lopez and others. That's out June twentieth on Peacock.
Dan Ackroyd is doing a deep dive on the Blues Brothers. It's a new
podcast on Audible, so behind a pay walla is called Blues Brothers The Arc
of Gratitude. Dan will accompany listeners through late nights in the early days with
John Belushi at Dan's Speakeasy in Toronto, to working with Blues Legends of Refa
Franklin, James Brown, and Rich Charles on the Blues Brothers movie, through
the founding of House of Blues, the Blues Brothers two thousand sequel, and
beyond. That's out July twenty fifth. Met Dan once in Chicago at a
Blues Brothers themed event that is not easy to say. He was super cool.
Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman are teaming up to develop a talk show for
Lunell. Kimil said, Lunell's a super funny person and obviously she impressed David
Letterman when she was on with Millenia on Everybody's in La. Apparently the three
of them were on a zoom call talking about some concepts. And that is
