00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.439
Callaroga Shark Media. Howdy, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.079
Some good jokes from Late Night.
Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that Trump beat Nicky

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.039
Haley by double digits. He's also
leading Nicki Haley by double digits and Felony

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.519
Jogers ninety one to zero. You
get mad at Jimmy Kimmel, not me.

5
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.440
Colbert said, Trump defeated Nicky Hally
fifty four to forty three. It's

6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.679
the very first time he's ever been
happy to see a woman in her forties.

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.600
Felon Trump cruise to victory, and
just like most cruises, half the

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.600
people partied while the other half felt
really sick. Some more details about the

9
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.520
Mark Norman thing I did in the
Bonus episode on Thursday. Quick recap if

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.119
you missed it. Mark Norman was
on stage. All of a sudden,

11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.159
somebody joins him on stage, Security
grabs the guy escorts him out. Then

12
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.560
we see Mark Norman escorted off stage
like he's the President of the United States.

13
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.200
Apparently the whole thing was some sort
of stunt. This is just it's

14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.120
so frustrating and annoying, and if
you listen to the bonus episode Thursday.

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.760
I said I had two theories,
one of which was, yeah, this

16
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.920
is some sort of hoax. My
other theory was that maybe the man had

17
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.599
a gun and this was a serious
incident. But NOE seems to be some

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.359
sort of stunt. If you go
back and watch the video, you can

19
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.000
hear the woman. Let me play
the audio here. She's just not convincing.

20
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.239
You can kind of tell just say, get up, just get out

21
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:38.280
the teething. Yeah, I'm one
of the producers of the show. Yeah,

22
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.359
we've just seed everybody to get out
please. So I didn't want to

23
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.319
accuse this of being a hoax until
I knew. But The New York Post

24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.319
reports Mark Norman put out a statement
on Instagram. No one was harmed or

25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.159
injured during my performance last night at
New York Comedy Club. The disruption was

26
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.760
part of a planned surprise activity by
show producers, and I'm not going to

27
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.200
say the name of these producers.
I had no prim knowledge this was going

28
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.439
to happen, as Mark Norman,
The New York Comedy Club said, we

29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.719
received a handful of inquiries regarding a
viral clip of our club being evacuated last

30
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.080
night. First and foremost, nobody
was harmed or were injured. Interesting to

31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.919
me that that's the exact language from
the Mark Norman statement. The disruption was

32
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.240
part of a filming by Brand X, the producers that rented our venue for

33
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.919
that night. British tabloid The Sun
reports that brand X, again I'm not

34
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.400
using their proper name, are the
show's producers. They currently have over four

35
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:37.680
thousand Instagram followers and posted a series
of Instagram stories documenting Mark norman show getting

36
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:43.560
interrupted from various angles. A few
of their other Instagram stories highlights include Tyra

37
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.800
Banks sitting courtside out of Brooklyn Nets
game and that clip she's surrounded by two

38
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.199
furry costume strangers and they were eventually
escorted away. This is just all kinds

39
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.599
of wrong. I think you can
hear my frustration I discussed here. I

40
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.479
did find it curious that Mark Norman
was at the New York Comedy Club.

41
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.719
In the hierarchy of comedy clubs in
New York, I would not have the

42
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.639
New York Comedy Club at the top
there. And now maybe it's picked up

43
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.879
since Carolines went away, because I
did notice Todd Barry's there tonight. I'm

44
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.879
not sure. A few years ago, Todd Barry would have played this club.

45
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.960
And while I was on their website
Monday night. You know who's there,

46
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.879
Sarah Cooper while she's at the East
Village location. Also Matthew brisarda on

47
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.560
that show That's not bad, Josh
Johnson, Mike Cannon, Sarah Cooper,

48
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.199
Matthew Brissard. Anyway, to me, this whole thing is just terrible,

49
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:37.879
disgusting, this move on. Did
you know I didn't know this that Chris

50
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.280
Rock almost sort of almost hosted The
Daily Show. Hollod Reporter has an article

51
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.919
about behind the scenes of John Stewart's
return, and they wrote, when John

52
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.639
Stewart left The Daily Show back in
twenty fifteen, there had been conversations with

53
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.719
a listters like Chris Rock to replace
him. I know they had reached out

54
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.680
to Mullaney. Rock told the Hollywood
Reporter, I wanted to do it up

55
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.759
until the twenty sixteen ele and then
say goodbye, but they wouldn't let me

56
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.520
do that. Doug Herzog, who
oversaw Comedy Central at the time, confirms

57
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.840
the story and said, I thought, and this is where the landscape has

58
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.800
changed dramatically. We needed to find
the person that could sit there every night,

59
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.000
and I didn't want to be doing
this again in six months, but

60
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.360
everything's changed and people aren't there every
night anymore. Chris Rock Daily Show.

61
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.920
Wow, I feel like that'd be
a step down for him, Like if

62
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.839
he wanted to do that kind of
thing, wouldn't he have like an HBO

63
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.079
show. I don't know, Well, he didn't do it anyway. Trevor

64
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.240
Noah had Kevin Hart on his podcast
Fantastic Listen, Please listen to it.

65
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.079
Trevor and Kevin have tremendous chemistry.
Kevin was talking about putting his tours together,

66
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.519
and he said, when I feel
like I'm at the peak of the

67
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.600
set, when I'm at one hundred
and sixty shows, Kevin said, my

68
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.319
process starts comedy clubs, theaters,
back to comedy clubs, back to theaters.

69
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.439
Then I'll go arenas. Trevor said, wait, why are you going

70
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.000
back? What happened? What went
wrong? Kevin? Nothing went wrong,

71
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.600
but you do it to make sure, like make sure I'm not jumping out

72
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.240
of the gun too fast, because
once you start killing in theaters, that

73
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.120
means I should destroying a comedy.
There was a time when Dave Chappelle never

74
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.759
used to want to do arenas.
Obviously everybody wants to see him, so

75
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.920
now he has to do bigger venues. But yeah, you definitely lose something,

76
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.279
do you. Kevin Hart prefer arenas. Kevin said, if I got

77
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.519
to be honest with you, man, I do. But let me tell

78
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.040
you why. Hear me out and
here's how I got Dave. It's how

79
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.879
I got Dave. Bit with the
bug. I said, listen to me,

80
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.360
Dave. The beauty of doing the
arenas when you're a good comic,

81
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:25.040
it's turning the arenas into an intimate
environment. Trevor says, keV, you

82
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.279
can never turn it into that.
The thing about arena is I always feel

83
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.920
like the laughter is not happening in
my section designed for the basketball game,

84
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.639
whatever game's supposed to play there,
Whereas when you're in a theater, I

85
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.879
always feel like every single laugh is
coming from every single person, no matter

86
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.279
where you're sitting. Kevin says,
think about my production. I think about

87
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.199
every aspect excessive. I like the
audience. That way, you can hear

88
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.319
me on a microphone, you can
hear the audience, you can hear the

89
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.839
audience laughing. I'll probably do like
eight to ten mics so that you can

90
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.720
hear the audience. Fun story from
Yahoo. Melissa Rivers, daughter of Joan

91
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.800
Rivers, who I worked with and
knew. Okay, wouldn't say we were

92
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.120
best friends, but I work with
Joe long enough did I had to hit

93
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.600
a lo on Joan, and this
article tells us Joe Rivers would be sad

94
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.600
no one lives in her old New
York City apartment. I was in that

95
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.920
apartment. It reminded me of Versailles. There was a lot going on there.

96
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.920
If you look up pictures, there's
just stuff on every inch of the

97
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.560
wall and chandeliers, very regal.
Joan lived there for twenty eight years.

98
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.519
That apartment was so special and filled
with such warmth, laughter and happiness that

99
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.959
would make her really sad. Melissa
knows a friend who lives across the street

100
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.680
and says she's only seen the lights
on in the apartment a dozen times since

101
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.560
Joan passed away. Joan's former home
features views of Central Park and the skyline.

102
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.519
The space was designed in the Neo
French Classic style and offers four bedrooms,

103
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.360
five bathrooms, two terraces, five
wood burning flyerplaces, and a ballroom.

104
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.680
As New York City apartments go this
was sweet. I mean Fifth Avenue,

105
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.680
dude. It was sold in twenty
fifteen for twenty four million dollars,

106
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.879
put back on the market in twenty
twenty one for thirty eight million dollars.

107
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.360
Again, this is for an apartment, not a house. Apparently, Joan

108
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.839
Rivers thought the house was haunted.
She said a ghost named Missus Spencer,

109
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.920
who is a former resident and the
late niece of financier JP Morgan, haunts

110
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.480
new residents. She said. Neighbors
told her that they witnessed apparitions throughout the

111
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.720
ballroom and grand staircase. Jones said
she found an old portrait of Missus Spencer

112
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.480
and hung in the lobby, causing
the haunting to finally stop. Hey,

113
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.360
great news, They're making a sequel
to Adam Sandler's Leo. You know,

114
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.199
the pet lizard who grapples with an
existential crisis and lungs for the world outside

115
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.800
his classroom. It was such a
hit that Netflix is making Leo two.

116
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.480
The original Leo starred Adam Sandler,
of course, Bill Burr, Jason Alexander,

117
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.040
Rob Schneider, and some of the
finest, finest voice work actors in

118
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.560
the business. They are Sonny Sandler, Sadie Sandler and Jackie Sandler can't wait

119
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.959
for LEO two and yes we are
one week away from Johnny Mack does an

120
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.040
entire episode saying nice things about Adam
Sandler movies. That'll be next Saturday.

121
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.000
If I actually put it together and
she could sell, it's going to be

122
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.480
hard to do. I started making
a list, and I was like,

123
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.920
you know, I actually like the
sketch Gay Robot, but then I realized

124
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.920
that's not a movie. That's a
sketch. I also like Adam Sandler's bit

125
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.839
was it Phone Wallet Keys? I
think that one's pretty good. Also not

126
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.639
an Adam Sandler movie, So we'll
see what I come up with. One

127
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.560
week from today, Ramy Yousef will
return to HBO with a new special title

128
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.319
to Ramy Yousef More Feelings Interesting note
here. It will return to HBO in

129
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:30.319
March before it streams on Max.
That's Weird. Rommi will tape the special

130
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:35.440
February second and third at White Eagle
Hall in Jersey City at Sketch Fest Today.

131
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.840
We can kick it off at noon
with Okay who did it? With

132
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.679
Joe Firestone one o'clock. Paul Giamatti
is taping his podcast Chris Gethard is the

133
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.639
guest there. Four o'clock, Judge
John Hodgman, you can have a full

134
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.320
afternoon. It's seven o'clock The Futurama
twenty fifth Anniversary Spectacular. Hmmm, I

135
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.480
would have to go to that.
I don't even know what the other options

136
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.000
are. I am not reading every
show like I usually do. Sketch Fest

137
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.200
has a zillion show. Zillion might
be an exaggeration, but you get the

138
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.440
idea. Eight thirty Maria Bamford Jackie
Kash looks like she's opening nine thirty The

139
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.679
Futurama twenty fifth Anniversary Spectacular. No, it doesn't work that way. You

140
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.559
can't have two spectaculars. This is
the first one, is the real one.

141
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.919
This is the fake one because we
just did it. That's not how

142
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.000
it works, guys. And is
a nine to forty five show called Derek

143
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.679
and Simon and Bob and s F
Sketchfest Tribute Celebration. Bob Odenkirk, Derek

144
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.799
Waters and some others on there.
If we were at sketch Fest, all

145
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.200
right, so in the afternoon we
could do Joe Firestone, then John Hodgman

146
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.519
and we could have a real dinner. Then we're hitting the seven o'clock Futurama,

147
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.720
the real one late show. Let's
see I want to do Dinosaur Improv.

148
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.960
Paul Sheer is on that bill.
Jason manzukis, Yeah, let's do

149
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.519
that at nine thirty. And there's
no late late shows like a lot of

150
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.320
these festivals have, like an eleven
o'clock show. Sketchfest doesn't do that.

151
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.440
Meanwhile, it is the final day
of the Last Word Comedy Festival in Williamsburg

152
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.360
seven o'clock. Dude in the Improvised
Murder Mystery. I would totally do that.

153
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.480
If we do that, we're going
to miss the Improv Showcase number four,

154
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.720
and we're gonna miss stand Up Showcase
number three. Then at nine o'clock

155
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.240
it's the Improv Headliners Showcase and stand
Up Showcase number four. Just one thing

156
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.720
tomorrow, it's Chicago's Musical Improv Party
Brunch at eleven a m. I can

157
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.840
now close this tab because my computer's
out of memory. I have twenty six

158
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.600
tabs open as I put this show
together, so that's why I close that

159
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.600
one as soon as I could.
I had missed this one. Mark Maron

160
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.039
had talked about Joe Coy at the
Golden Globes. Maren said, so the

161
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.440
Joe Coy thing. Look, I'm
coming at this as a comic and I'm

162
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.519
no stranger to enjoying shottenfreud. But
this guy didn't deserve It doesn't matter when

163
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.559
he took the gig or how soon
he got the gig to host the Globes,

164
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.879
and honestly, the Globes are a
sham. They don't efn matter much

165
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.679
anyways. So Joe Cooy takes this
gig and it's a nice paying gig,

166
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.799
and he's a comicy season he knows
what the f he's doing, but nobody

167
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.480
really knows who Joekoi is. He
does find out there's a big comic,

168
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.679
sells a lot of tickets. He
is a community around him, the Asian

169
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.360
community as well, and has been
successful for many years. He's not a

170
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.600
household name. I say, most
people I don't know who he is,

171
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.639
so right away that's storing. I
think the primary issue with Joe is not

172
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.240
enough people knew who he was,
so they decided to crap on him.

173
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.519
Who is this guy? Why him? Well, he's completely capable of the

174
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.440
job. And then is your comedy
news for today. If you enjoy the

175
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.720
program, buy me a coffee dot
com slash a daily comedy news. I'll

176
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.320
take your money, and it's Saturday. I usually don't get this movie on

177
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.879
Saturday. Probably a nice coffee.
Sunday, I load up at the Donuts

178
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.240
chain. I get a bagel with
butter, So yeah, I'll do that

179
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.000
with your money. I'll get a
bagel with butter and a large ice coffee

180
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.120
on Sunday morning. If you're hip
to podcasting two point zero and you're on

181
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.360
the Fountain app, you could throw
some SATs my way is another way to

182
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.679
support the show, and I will
see you here tomorrow
