00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.679
Callaroga Shark media very very robust one
today for a Monday, and especially a

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.280
summer Monday. Hi, I'm met
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.519
The trailer for the documentary about Louis
Ck is out. I'll play it for

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.359
you in a second. The Daily
Beast reviewed the trailer and they say it

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.280
opens with footage of fellow accused predator
Charlie Rose describing the comedian as philosopher king

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.399
in the mold of Lenny Bruster,
Bob Dylan. Yeah, there was a

7
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.799
time there when c K was absolutely
being compared to George Carlin. Pre cancellation

8
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.719
Sorry Not Sorry is about c K's
ongoing and largely successful attempts at to come

9
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.159
back after getting canceled in the fall
of twenty seventeen. I'm not sure he's

10
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.439
all that canceled. Did he lose
gigs, Yes, but he also can

11
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.560
sell out the Garden, so he's
not that canceled. But the Daily Beast

12
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.799
tells us Sorry Not Sorry gives the
woman who first spoke out against him a

13
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.560
chance to tell their story with a
little more time than some of the media

14
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.399
coverage gave them. The documentary premier
the Toronto International Film Festival. It will

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.680
hit theaters and video on demand on
July twelfth. I'm not sure how wide

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.640
of a released this is going to
get in the video on demand bothers me

17
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.480
is a little strong, but I'd
like more people to see this, and

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.359
video on demand means you're gonna have
to go out of your way to be

19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.280
like, oh, yeah, this
even exists. And now that I know

20
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.519
it exists, I want to throw
some money in its direction. I wish

21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.519
this were just streaming on Netflix or
something so it could be more widely discussed.

22
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.159
Let's play the trailer here a little
longer than I usually do for an

23
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.719
audio excerpt, but I think you
need to hear. I'm going to play

24
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.120
most of the trailer. I'll chop
it a little part where there's just some

25
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.079
music and a slight warning for language
here as they describe the things that Louis

26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:46.879
was doing in colloquial language, comparisons
to Lenny Bruce, comparisons to Bob Dylan,

27
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:55.439
comparisons to being a sort of philosopher. Can Jesus. When I said

28
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.000
I wanted to work with Louis c
K, I should have been more specific

29
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.359
to like how it all panned out. Most female comedians quit because just a

30
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.080
series of indignities that they have to
suffer their entire life, because you've been

31
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.479
socialized in this world where men get
to treat women, howrder they want.

32
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.080
If he's done this stuff and he's
denied it, we just thought, well,

33
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.120
let's see how much of a story
there is there. We got the

34
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.360
sense that there were going to be
other women. They were told to keep

35
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.120
quiet. People are scared. They
want to be on his side for work.

36
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:31.159
He didn't use the word sorry,
but he wrote a whole essay explaining

37
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.479
that he knew he did something wrong. He got caught. The man got

38
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.319
caught. I was like, well, the fact that I thought it wasn't

39
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.919
my problem is the problem. Like, that's exactly the problem Luis did.

40
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:52.479
What was all rough? I don't
know how do we deal with this?

41
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.000
How do we welcome people back or
not welcome people back? Usually white men

42
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.400
get away with the stuff that they
do. You know, he's coming back,

43
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.240
right. He started to do more
touring, and they started to sell

44
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.319
out. Everybody lives with a certain
amount of hypocrisy, And this is the

45
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.680
amount that I've allocated for myself making
fun of the Victims is still good for

46
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:23.240
business. Women are hurting and feel
like they're crazy because everyone is letting all

47
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.039
these predators back. Not only did
he get away with it, he's like

48
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.840
rubbing it in all of our faces. Director Caroline Suh says, while Louis

49
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.400
c K certainly lost a lot in
the process, he still has a lot

50
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.000
of fans. You don't really know
or care about what happened. I think

51
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.800
you could say that a lot of
women are canceled because before they even get

52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.759
a chance to do something, Because, as we try to show in the

53
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.280
film, building or having a career
after something like this happens can become more

54
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.879
difficult. In an already difficult field
like comedy, it can be easy to

55
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.719
just focus on Louis and what we
think should or should not happen to him,

56
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.560
But the film shows that Louie's behavior
was an open secret for a long

57
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.400
time. I think we also need
to look at the role we play in

58
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.719
these kinds of stories and whose careers
we work hardest to protect. John mulaney

59
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.080
spoke to The Rap about his late
night show. M'laney did a lot of

60
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.120
press late last week. That makes
me think something's up somebody's laying the groundwork

61
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.080
for something. M'laney told the Rap
the best thing about everybody's in la is

62
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.079
we didn't have time to learn.
There was something great about not learning.

63
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.600
I wouldn't want to lose that,
but I don't know how you wouldn't lose

64
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.480
that. I'm a big fan of
late night talk shows, panel shows,

65
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.120
lots of things like that. It
was fun to do our version of it.

66
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.959
We were very conscious we were gonna
have people on that I really wanted

67
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.759
to talk to, and some of
them might not be TV savvy or might

68
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.680
not have done much media before,
but they were the core of the panel.

69
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.839
To me, they were the whole
reason to do a show. The

70
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.519
extra fun of it was that every
big comedian was in town at the same

71
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:44.279
time. Mlaney describes himself as a
pretty curious person. Malani liked this compliment

72
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.879
from Jerry Seinfeld, who said,
this is so much fun. Eline says,

73
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.079
I was really happy that he was
much much more interested in hearing calls

74
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.680
from people about coyotes than talking about
comedy or his movie coming out. And

75
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.319
same with John Stewart, same with
everyone is he opened to another late night

76
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.519
esque show. M'laney said, oh, totally. I'm open to so many

77
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.720
things now. John praised some fellow
comedians that he wanted a spotlight, including

78
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.560
Langston Kerman, Pat Reagan, Robbie
Hoffman, and Cole Escolo, whom Alaney

79
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.879
called one of the best solo performers
I've ever seen anywhere. On the comedy

80
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.720
industry, m'laney says, the scale's
bigger than it's ever been. That doesn't

81
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.199
mean there weren't stand up comedy superstars
for forty fifty years even longer, but

82
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.600
the sheer amount of comedians touring larger
sized theaters is probably the highest it's ever

83
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.120
been. Yeah. I got into
that over the weekend with Jason Zinnemann about

84
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.920
somebody like Andrew Schultz plays the Garden. There was a time when if a

85
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.879
comedian even played the Garden, never
mind sold it out, it was a

86
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:38.399
huge news. Rob Schneider in the
news again he called Will Smith an a

87
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.759
hole. Schneider was on the Kyle
and Jackie o Show where apparently he called

88
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.360
Will Smith a liar and a complete
utter fraud. Actually there's a typo in

89
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.199
the article, or maybe not Will
He may have called Will Smith a layer?

90
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.360
Is Will Smith a place where a
wild animal, especially if fiercer dangerous

91
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.360
one lives. You'd have to ask
Rob Schneider. Perhaps he's a layer or

92
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.560
a liar. I don't know.
Schneider said, it's a deep dark thing

93
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.759
to do that in front of all
those people, and to a really legendary

94
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.519
comedian who's literally the best comedian of
our generation. You wouldn't have this whole

95
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.639
wave of comedy that came after if
it wasn't for Chris Rock. He kicked

96
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.879
open the doors, Schneider said,
I'm reading verbatim here. I'm not sure

97
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.360
the second half of the quote makes
sense, but the same article said Lair

98
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.480
Will as a douchebag. The thing
is, that's how politically correct the academy

99
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.480
is that they were so caroly,
because if I would have done that,

100
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.160
they would have been hauled off to
prison. Thinking that should have said that

101
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.240
Rob Schneider would have been hauled off
to prison if he slapped someone who knows

102
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.399
so much news about Late Night,
like five stories in a row, let's

103
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.279
run through them. Jimmy Fallon has
renewed his deal with NBC. He will

104
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.000
host the Tonight Show through at least
twenty twenty eight. If it ain't broken,

105
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.600
Don't fix it. NBC suit Mark
Lazarus, in a statement, says,

106
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.680
for nearly thirty years, Jimmy Fallon
has brought laughter into the homes of

107
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.319
millions and charmed audiences from the stages
of thirty Rock. It's been a privilege

108
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.720
to witness Jimmy at the helmet of
the Tonight Show, and we're thrilled to

109
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.040
see what innovations and the incredible staff
will deliver in the years to come With

110
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.120
the network, Jimmy Fallon said,
for nearly thirty years, I've brought laughter

111
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.040
those of millions and charmed audiences from
the stages of thirty Rock. It's been

112
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.199
a privilege to be at the helmet
of this night show, and I'm thrilled

113
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.439
to see what innovations me and the
incredible staff will deliver in the years to

114
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.399
come at the Network. No,
I'm not changing my quote. Tell Mark

115
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.240
to change his. That is amazing
love. It may recall fallon faced allegations

116
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.959
of creating a toxic workplace at the
Tonight Show is detailed in a Rolling Stone

117
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.519
story. We've made that go away. We're back to Hey, it's Jimmy

118
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.560
Fallon. Don't ask questions about that
other stuff. Seth Myers is losing his

119
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.000
band now. Like many others,
I reacted and said, Seth Myers has

120
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.959
a band. Apparently there's a band
called the eight G Band that is a

121
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.839
quote signature element of the Seth Myers
program. Now. To be fair,

122
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.199
I don't know if I've ever seen
Late Night with Seth Myers. I've seen

123
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.639
clips, I don't think I've ever
actually watched it. Apparently had a band

124
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.480
they're leaving. Eli Jenny, the
keyboardist of the HG Band, told Vulture

125
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.759
that the trio was informed in recent
weeks that the band would cease to be

126
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.759
a regular part of the program.
Do two budget cuts, Jenny said.

127
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.680
In the end, NBC was adamant
about where they wanted the budget to go

128
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.879
to. It's not just the ben
there's a whole crew that works with the

129
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.920
man, so there's a lot of
people employed. I think this was an

130
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.959
easy way for them to cut the
budget. Easy's not the right word.

131
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.519
Smart move by John Stewart. He's
going to host two live episodes of the

132
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.319
Daily Show following the two presidential debates, the first one on June twenty seventh,

133
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.759
the second on September tenth. The
Daily Shows also going to go on

134
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.319
the road for both the DNC and
RNC conventions. Trevor Noah did live debate

135
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.799
coverage in twenty sixteen. He did
not do so in twenty twenty. There

136
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.480
was this pandemic. I don't know
if you heard about it. It's unclear

137
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.799
if the live episodes will mean that
John Stewart will work two days those weeks,

138
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.120
or if you'll take Monday off and
just do the Tuesday. John Stewart

139
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.240
was the guest on a podcast called
The Town. That's a good podcast if

140
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.960
you're until this Hollywood business stuff,
and he talked about what happened over there

141
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.039
at Apple. John says, has
things went along and I did a bunch

142
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.480
of other projects. I started having
this idea in the back of my head

143
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.879
about the sort of difference between whether
in climate when it came to the institutions

144
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.840
and the media and all these different
things. And the Daily Show had always

145
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.080
been a little bit more about the
weather, you know, we were kind

146
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.480
of every day in there. And
the genesis of the problem was what if

147
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.679
we looked at it more as climate
systems, what causes the weather? How

148
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.039
did these things arise? And I
felt invigorated again by it. There's something

149
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.679
about changing the perspective and looking at
it from the slightly skewed place that felt

150
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.440
revelatory to me and kind of excited
me again. That was the Apple Show.

151
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.879
And then Apple said, would prefer
you not do that? And then

152
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.960
I said, oh, no,
no, no, but I'm excited again

153
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.519
and they were like, yes,
we are less. So got news for

154
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.519
you, John apples right here and
so you know, we had some disagreements

155
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.559
about the direction of it, the
tone of it, and the subject matter,

156
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.039
et cetera. Yeah, if you
listened to John's new podcast, Apple's

157
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.320
right yuck it up, John Stewart
said, And when you're working for a

158
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.879
company like Apple, there are a
lot of factors to take an account,

159
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.360
like when you work for a corporate
entity, that's part of the deal.

160
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.480
Like even in Comedy Central, the
dealer is I get to do what I

161
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.960
want until they think it's going to
hurt their beer sales or whatever it is

162
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.519
they want to sell. And that's
the deal we all make. Nobody is

163
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.159
owned a platform. And when you're
in somebody's house and they want you to

164
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.679
take your shoes off, you take
your shoes off. You go to somebody

165
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:05.480
Else's house. Taylor Solison has been
renewed through the twenty twenty four to twenty

166
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.600
five tDCS and Amy Reisenbach is a
CBS suit who said Taylor is a gifted

167
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.039
comedian who brings a unique voice,
energy, and plenty of riz to Late

168
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159
Night. I learned riz as a
real word thanks to the show. It's

169
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.360
the little things. I'm glad.
She added that because I was going to

170
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.440
totally rip that quote. A.
Ratings for the show overall are lower than

171
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.480
what James Corden was doing. However, we're told it's a solid ratings performer

172
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.360
in eighteen of forty nine, and
again, if you factor in budget,

173
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.519
probably makes more money. Who knows
from the Vatican News, your home for

174
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.120
comedy news, the comedians were over
there at the Vatican on Friday. I

175
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.440
wasn't there. Deacon Mike, who
knows a lot of bishops. I've seen

176
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.320
Deacon Mike talking to bishops. They
clearly know him. So you know,

177
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.679
he might not know the Pope,
but you know it's people who knows the

178
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.240
Pope. Did he hook me up
with an invite to the Vatican? He

179
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.320
did not imagine what this episode could
have been. Instead, I'm playing Louis

180
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.080
c. K Trailers, Thanks Deacon
Mike. The Pope said, because laughter

181
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.399
is contagious, can break down social
barriers and create connections. Vatican News tells

182
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.679
us. The Holy Father went on
to highlight another miracle of comedians, the

183
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.080
ability to make people smile even when
tackling serious issues. The Pope said,

184
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.240
I can't believe I'm saying. The
Pope said, I don't think that's ever

185
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.159
come up on the show before,
other than last week. The Pope said,

186
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.720
you denounce the excesses of power,
give voice to forgotten situations, highlight

187
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.639
abuses, point out inappropriate behavior,
but without spreading alarm and terror, anxiety

188
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.360
or fear divine wisdom. Practice your
art for the benefit of none other than

189
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.200
God himself, the first spectator in
history. Remember this. When you managed

190
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.039
to bring intelligent smiles to the lips
of even a single spectator, you also

191
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.639
make God smile. We can even
laugh at God, just as we play

192
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.960
and joke with those we love.
But the Pope pointed out this must be

193
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.120
done without offending the religious feelings of
believers, especially the poor. Continue to

194
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.080
cheer people up, especially those who
find it hardest to look at life with

195
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.679
hope. Help us with a smile, to see reality with its contradictions,

196
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.240
and to dream of a better world. So more coverage of this event.

197
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.759
Remember I mentioned I didn't think there
was a comedian named James. There might

198
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.080
be a comedian named James Martin,
but that comedian was not invited to the

199
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.200
Vatican. It was indeed, Father
James Martin sj as I suspected, but

200
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.600
he was on the list of comedians. Don't know why, doesn't matter.

201
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.360
According to reports in the media,
Jimmy Fallon was seen larking around the front

202
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.519
of the audience hall before proceedings got
underway. He was reportedly quickly he told

203
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.159
to take a seat as the Pope
was about to walk through the door.

204
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.559
Conan O'Brien described his meeting with the
Pope and said, well, it was

205
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.120
brief. He spoke in Italian,
so I'm not quite sure what he said.

206
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.000
It was quick. Had a wonderful
time. If you took the weekend

207
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.240
off, Hey, in the Northeast, the weather was gorgeous. I don't

208
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.039
blame you, but go back and
listen to Saturday's episode where I talked to

209
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.399
comedy with New York Times critic at
Lord's Jason Zenniman. I think you'll like

210
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.279
that one a lot. The upcoming
week, I have already corded eighty minutes

211
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.200
or so before the edit with Mike
Chisholm, who hosts the Letterman podcast.

212
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.840
We got all nerdy about David Letterman, so that'll be coming up on Saturday.

213
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.559
A nice benefit for me is I
can take the transcripts from these things

214
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.240
and put them in the sub stack. I do a substack where I write

215
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.240
about the media, sometimes comedy,
but often not comedy. For example,

216
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.480
music Monday and Wednesday is what I'm
listening to, which is podcast recommendation.

over the weekend say I had not yet

235
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.799
watched Connor O'Malley Stand Up Solutions.
I didn't lie, but I had taped

236
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.759
it before I watched it. I
have seen it. It's pretty good.

237
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.720
It's on YouTube. I liked it
a lot. Connor O'Malley stand Up Solutions

238
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.559
A recommendation from me. Spoilers for
season four of the Boys. I'll give

239
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.879
you a second here. If you
watched the Boys. Yet that's what I've

240
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.600
been watching all weekend. That's why
I'm behind on my comedy specials. Again,

241
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.879
as tends to happen. Plus,
I was outside all weekend. It

242
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.600
was so nice. All right,
there was a cameo in the Boys,

243
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.240
and I'm about to spoil it.
Will Ferrell, hilarious has always made a

244
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.879
cameo in The boy is that they're
making a movie about a train who's kind

245
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.639
of sort of not quite the flash. In the movie within the Boys,

246
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.399
Will Ferrell stars as a train's coach
who warns a train against throwing aways talents

247
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.879
to sling yayo from gangbangers. I'm
sure we'll delivered it in a much funnier

248
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.000
way than I just did. Hello, I'm not sure. Coach Will Ferrell

249
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.159
says, you can either outrun this
life or you can outrun yourself into an

250
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.039
early grieve. The director says,
Holy f We're not going to beat that.

251
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.679
That was effing perfect, literal tears. Who's happy they spent two weekends

252
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.639
at the Compton Youth Center. Now, Will Ferrell, as Will Ferrell says,

253
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.120
I'm not giving off too much of
a blind side vibe. Am I

254
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.440
The director says, as if that's
a bad thing. Wait what does that

255
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.360
smell? Everyone? Stop? What
does that smell? Is that you?

256
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.120
Will Ferrell spawns hilarious as always,
I had falafel for lunch. The director

257
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.440
then critiques a train. According to
showrunner Eric Kripke, one of the scenes

258
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.240
with Will Ferrell did not make it. Kirk Ke tells the Rap as you

259
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.840
can imagine, these guys are world
class improvisers. We have so much film

260
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.399
on them riffing and trying different things. At one point they make out there's

261
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.159
just so much material there that we
couldn't use it, but hopefully in the

262
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.240
special features of deleted scenes, because
they have a lot of really good stuff.

263
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.919
As I just mentioned, I haven't
seen Hannah Einbinders special yet, but

264
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.639
the Rap did, and they said, the reason she looks so confident in

265
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.240
her day you stand up special everything
must go because she's been working on the

266
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.559
joke since twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen. There's no comedic comparison to what Einbinder

267
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.639
does. On one moment, she
leans into a round of tried and true

268
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.000
dating jokes, only to subvert them
at the last minute. Spoiler as a

269
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.120
bisexual woman Einbinder has dubbed men idiots
and women annoying. The next she pretends

270
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.480
to be the moon, making use
of the thick red curtain most other performers

271
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.919
would ignore. The joy of Einbinder's
new special is you never know where the

272
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.799
comedian's going to go or what to
expect from her punchlines, but you always

273
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.159
know that the journey will be interesting. That sounds good. I want to

274
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.759
check this one out. They asked
her favorite pieces of comedy. Hannah said,

275
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.919
Oh my god, it's so hard. I got to sound super interesting

276
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.440
here, gotta be Niche. Probably
The Mighty Booshe, which is a wonderful

277
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.879
character driven sketch show. The Brits
are like, yeah, we know the

278
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.159
answer, Like, what's the Mighty
Boosh? I think it's on Hulu.

279
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.799
It's a good show. Check it
out, Hannah. What comedians have been

280
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.720
impressing you lately? She says,
Michael Longfellow. I think he's the most

281
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.360
brilliant, succinct, distinct comedic voice
that I'm aware of. He's so original

282
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.680
and so funny and whipsmart and I
look forward to seeing his special and that

283
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.839
he's your comedy news for today.
To you tomorrow,
