Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnnie Mack with today's Daily Comedy News.
Josh Pick shot back at Amy Schumer's recent criticism of Joe Coy's Golden Globes monologue.
Right, you got this, Joe Coy was so mean to Taylor Swift,
and then Amy didn't like that, and then Josh Peck commented. Josh
was on the Good Guys podcast and said, I took issue with Amy Schumer,
who recently was on the Deer Media podcast. She was asked about Joe
Cooy. I feel defensive of comedians. It's a brotherhood, it's a sisterhood.
And she was basically critical of Joe Cooy. She was throwing him under
the bus, which was crappy because she's a comedian. It's like, we
all know he had a tough night. Why continue to go after him.
A month later, Peck noted he isn't a comedian himself, but his comedian
friend Jannis Pappus shared his thoughts. Yanna said, the jokes are fine.
He just wasn't confident because it was such an intimidating room and they weren't giving
him love. He was undeserving of all the backlash. You may call that
Taylor Swift basically murdered Joe Cooy's career after Joe told this horribly mean joke.
I'm afraid to even share with you. It's so vicious. But let's listen.
As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader. The big
difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we
have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear, Oh man, that
is just so mean. I don't know how Joe Koy could have possibly said
such a mean thing about Taylor Swift. Schumer at one point had been on
the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast. I hadn't seen any pick up about
this interview, but apparently she said if the audience doesn't laugh, then it's
a problem. The thing with Joe he threw his writers under the bus,
and that was not a good look. Now pay attention to this next part
is this sop? Do people do this? I've been around enough comedians and
I don't know that this is done. Amy apparently said, if I'm gonna
say a joke about anyone, I'm going to clear it, like I cleared
my jokes to Leah Ardo DiCaprio. I cleared it with these people because I
don't want to make that mistake. Really, hey, Leo, are you
okay with these Really? That's really interesting to me. Now. Amy runs
in a particular circle of the elite, and I guess she likes staying in
that circle. Amy added that it does not feel good when the whole internet
is mad at you and clarified that she does not wish that on anyone.
Peck's co host Ben said, if you're bombing, you don't need to tell
us that you're bombing. Because your writers suck. He threw them under the
bus. You know what, it was a live show. The guy riffed
a joke. I really, it's not that bad. Kid over yourselves writers.
Meanwhile, Amy Schumer hilariously crashes two wedding photoshoots in New York. You
know, when you're out there and you're doing your wedding shoot and you're paying
this photographer, and you know you want to make sure everything is perfect for
your big day. You definitely want Amy Schumer coming in and crashing her photos
so she gets to do Instagram posts. That's what you're looking for. I
know I was when I got married. Amy sheared these on her Instagram story.
She's dressed in workout gear as she posed next to two different couples in
wedding attire. Kind of curious that she ran into two different people. The
first couple were posing in front of the Manhattan Skyline and holding flowers, and
they smiled for the camera as Amy Schumer stood next to them in a pair
of sunglasses. She captured the pick no days off. The second couple,
sitting in front of some greenery in a park, were also joined by Amy
as she took a seat at the end of the bench. Amy has done
this before. Back in twenty seventeen, that couple told E News at the
time that Amy got out of her car and asked for a pick with us.
She congratulate us, she can let us take some photos by her car.
After we had finished taking photos, she offered us a lift to our
reception as we were hailing a cab. Last April, Schumer interrupted another wedding
photo shoot. They wrote, it's got to be great luck when Amy Schumer
crashes her wedding. She just walked right up to us and asked to be
in some photos. Now, let me ask you how often do you run
into photo shoots? I'm from New York City. I grew up in Queen's
I worked in Manhattan for decades. I've spent the last ten years more or
less in the suburbs. So, you know, maybe wedding photography has exploded
since COVID. I don't know. But what is going on here? Amy?
Are you just randomly constantly running into wedding shoots? Are you going to
the places where people often do wedding shoots on purpose? Is this some sort
of stunt? Johnny Max suspicious radar is going Eh? What is going on
here? Kyle Kenane was on Late Night with Seth Myers. Kyle explains where
he got the name for his new special, Dirt Nap with Seth, and
the whole vibe was weird. The whole clip is on the internet if you
want to watch it. It's eight minutes long. But it just seems like,
I don't know, we're ten years into this does Late Night with Seth
Meyers matter. The vibe is just weird, low energy here, let's listen
to Kyle. Dirt Napp is a unique title for a stand up special.
Yeah, and it's also the name of your Yeah Yeah all right, pee,
little dirty, she's up there in heaven now. It was. It
was a straight cat that was living in the yard of this house we moved
into. And you know, you can't really name a stray cat, so
it went through some miiterations. At first we were calling it Helen. We
thought it was blind and deaf, so my girlfriend named it dat so you're
not mad at me, you're mad at her. And then I was calling
a dirt napp on account of you know, was just sleeping the dirt and
it looked deceased like most of the time. And how many is so it
seemed like you maybe didn't get a lot of good years with dirt app.
We got three great years up time, three great years. We found it
was a sixteen year old cat. From it, it was a sixteen year
old straight cat that we're like, all right, we're gonna give this thing
the best sunset we can give it. Well, that's fantastic. You did
that. Yeah, yeah, you want to see the special now you can
pay ten dollars to see it on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla website. It'll
be on YouTube on April second to at eight pm Eastern. Paste Magazine spent
the ten Bucks or got a review copy, and they say Dirt Nap draws
offbeat parallels between vegan caesadillas and religion, calls bs on Vin Diesel's post mission
sex drive in the Fast and Furious movies, and applies improv rules to phone
calls with his mother. They liked it a lot. Rommi Yusef will have
a special called More Feelings. This will be on HBO Max Max Max,
HBO HBO Max. I think this is on proper HBO whatever that means these
days. There is a trailer. Let's listen. I'm done apologizing. I'm
done saying that we're peaceful. For twenty years, we've had to prove to
people that we're safe. Right, every time you turn on CNN, there's
like some Arab dude talking about how Islam means peace. You know that guy,
but he's always shouting it. He's always like, we come in peace.
They're like, bro, that's the slogan for aliens. The official description
tells us Siami rucep will offer his unique reflections on our divided world, expected
perils of charitable giving, and more and hit on top of it, including
the twenty twenty four presidential election, the importance of prayer, and a childhood
book report that changed the course of his life. I sat down and I
watched Hannah Gatsby's Gender Agenda. I had to actively look for it. I
thought Netflix would put it in front of me, and apparently Netflix has profiled
Johnny Mack and thought Johnny Mack would have no interest in this. No,
no, no, I really like Douglas. Nennette I think is overrated.
Something could both be good and overrated. Nenette is good, but people treated
that like it was the second coming of comedy. It's fine, but tap
the brakes people. I actually think Douglas is funnier than Nnette. Okay,
so it's good, but it's overrated, you know what I mean. So,
as I started this thing, I was loving it. The first twenty
minutes or so Hannah as host, I thought they crushed it. Then just
Tom came out and absolutely crushed that first fifteen minutes of Gender Agenda is amazing,
and then it started to be diminishing. Return by no means bad,
but maybe it was just the high of the first fifteen that it just couldn't
sustain. I actually paused it, so I didn't bail on it. I
intend to go back, but it's getting a little tired. I'm like,
I want to give this more of a shot, but the front half of
that really good. I'm not sure if it makes the list or not.
I need to actually finish it, but I recommend you seek out on Netflix.
Hannah Gatsby, Gender Agenda, Hanna, it's old people. I asked
myself, what's something positive that I could do to leverage my platform, the
little bit of power I have to try and humanize the presence of gender queer
and trans comedians on the Netflix platform. It felt really important to help gender
queer performers find their feet, and me being a slightly divisive figure means they'll
be a little bit of fuss made and hopefully it'll draw attention. Joel McHale
commented on the community movie Ashtag six Seasons in a movie. He shared something
details. He said, we go to the center of the Earth. It's
like the movie The Core. That's different than what Donald Glover said, who
said it's a college reunion. Joel was obviously joking, but he does believe
the community movie will shoot this year. He'll be shocked if it doesn't,
but I really do think it's happening this year and probably next week. It's
basically working around Donald's schedule. He called his Animal Control cast one of the
funniest groups of people I've been around, in contrast to the Community team,
who he joked with just a bunch of hacks. Ken Jung will be on
Animal Control this season as a dog whisperer. Joel said he too, is
a hacked and can't act or tell jokes. He's not funny, not successful,
and I've carried him for years. Everyone thinks I'm joking, but it's
true. Joel then got serious again and said Ken's episodes were coming in too
long because he did so much funny stuff. He was really too effing funny
and it ticked me off. Indy Wire has the trailer for that Steve Martin
documentary that's coming out. I've mentioned this before. It's in two parts.
The first part is about Steve's stand up, which is the part that me
The second part is about his acting career and the banjo stuff, and like,
I don't care about that stuff, but the first part I'm really interested
in. Here, let's listen to a piece of the trailer, and if
you bought my album and you came down here expecting me to do a lot
of her teams from the record, and I didn't. Well, this guy
was getting people so happy. I always thought, this just does not happen,
and it did. He's the most idolized comedian ever. He reinvented stand
up. It was a cultural phenomenon. My name is Steve Martin. Steve
Martin. What he was doing was unique. It was chancey. I always
thought of him as the door out of the sixties. You could be silly
again. All comedy was political, and I felt that it was time to
change that. Steve Martin has just taken the big leap onto the big screen.
I was launched into the stratosphere titled Steve, It's a documentary in two
pieces. The then portion chronicles Steve Martin's early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionized
stand up before walking away at thirty five. The now section focuses on the
present day with Steve Martin and the golden years of his career, et cetera,
et cetera. Martin had previously told Indy Wire when I finished stand up
comedy in nineteen eighty, I never wanted to see a live audience again.
I did movies for ten or twenty years and only occasionally would be found in
front of a live audience for you know, award shows or chatty events or
something like that. And now it's the only place I want to be,
meaning touring with Martin Short. I like having the audience there. They're predisposed
to like you because they bought a ticket and predisposed to listen and not judge
you every two seconds. He sounds like John Clees there. Steve premiere's March
twenty ninth on Apple TV plus people stunned about, just for laughs, Montreal
being canceled. I was getting texts from former co workers and industry friends and
we all had the same reaction of like, wow, I can't believe that
happened. This. CBC spoke to comedian Mike Critch. They were curious that
is something like this happened because it looks like a big success. Mike said
that show business, though everything is fake and show business, but I don't
think people realize how big that organization is. You know, it's the festival,
it's all the spin offs, it's a TV show based on that.
It's a million different things and festivals all around the world. So maybe it's
a case of getting bigger than they can handle, but also coming out of
a pandemic, show business has had a hard time as anyone, if not
harder. There's one thing you need for comedy show, and that's audiences.
I'm wondering, as are some of the Toronto media, what's going to happen
with the Toronto Festival. I assume that too will be canceled this year,
which thinks. Got some album news for you today. About a year ago,
Andrew Santino put out a Netflix special called Cheeseburger that is now out in
audio form. Minneapolis based comedian Eliehino is releasing her debut comedy album on April
fifth. It's called Soft Bones, a compilation of stories about being an ADHD
mom, a weird wife, and a regular human woman. They were kind
enough to send over a clip. Let's listen. So I'm a massage therapist,
but I'm also a gemini, so yeah, I don't like to do
stuff just normal. So I'm a massage therapist for a hospice. Yeah,
thank you, Yes, i am I'm an angel. Thank you. And
for those of you who don't know what hospice is, it's pretty funny stuff.
It's comfort care for the terminally ill. And I'm actually an independent contractor,
so I don't have like a four oh one K or anything. But
I am going to heaven. Just kidding, that's not real. We're just
going back to space. That's Elie Heinos Soft Bones. April fifth. Liz
Meely will have a new stand up special called Murder Sheets Tuesday, April second,
free on YouTube nine Eastern Film Live at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn, and
Liz hit the stage with a rapid fire storytelling style to tell tales of dating,
murder, rules, about edibles, international touring, dead cats, and
more. It's Lizmeili Murder Sheets. April second. Kevin Casey White has released
her on eight hundred Pound Gorilla That's out now harang as a masterful exercise and
audience interaction. Kevin's crowd work is the centerpiece and he uses it positively,
trying to draw the audience together rather than picking on the crowd. Camail nan
Jianni, part of a press release, a snack food company has a new
campaign called It's Basically Cheating. The campaign features Academy Award an Emmy nominated writer,
actor, and comedian Kamail non Jianni in an unexpected and satirical series of
spots where he cheats at weightlifting, kayaking, and ice skating. He even
goes as far as to hire a construction crew to build himself an epic forty
foot tall sand castle. His sharp wit and playful delivery punctuate the core campaign
theme that eating Quest products are so good that it feels like cheating. Stuart
Heflin is a suit at Quest, and he said a Quest we aim to
revolutionize snacking by flipping the macros of all the foods you love upside down so
they're big on protein, low on sugar, and huge on in flavor.
No, this is not a commercial. I'm just reading the press release to
you, Stuart, the suit says. The campaign leans into the idea that
we all need a good cheat or life hack to make our personal quests a
little easier and a lot more fun. Partnering with great comedic talent like Camal
does that just to injict cheeky entertainment and cultural relevance into our brand vision.
The Connecticut Post asked Joe Parra, this is a weird exchange. Joe,
can we ask you about your tomato obsession for a second. It's all over
your Instagram. Joe said, sure. The post said I saw one theory
on line saying you're a big Buffalo Bill's fan, and Bill's fans allegedly hate
Tom Brady. Tom Brady doesn't like tomatoes. Is there something along those lines
of football and superstitions and stuff like that? Joe said, couple of things.
I will say that Bill's fans don't allegedly hate Tom Brady. They do
hate Tom Brady, and rightfully so. You see your man spinning out right
now. He's doing cryptocurrency commercials getting the fat sucked out of his face.
We knew it all along. Secondly, that has nothing to do with the
tomatoes. One of the interesting things about doing comedy and seeing some of the
stuff, the theories that people have online is it just makes you realize how
much people like to mix up on the internet with no basis. And that's
your comedy news for today. All right, that was fun. If you
enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. Trying to grow this thing,
appreciate your help in doing that. If you enjoy the show, you
gonna buy me coffee dot com slash Daily comedy news. I gotta get back
on the iced coffees and lay off the smoothies. The bellies getting a little
round, I gotta cut that out. Maybe don't buy me a coffee.
No, buy me a coffee. I'll just stop siphoning the funds off to
smoothie Land. See you tomorrow.
