Callaroga Shark Media. Howdy, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Some good jokes from Late Night. Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that Trump beat Nicky
Haley by double digits. He's also leading Nicki Haley by double digits and Felony
Jogers ninety one to zero. You get mad at Jimmy Kimmel, not me.
Colbert said, Trump defeated Nicky Hally fifty four to forty three. It's
the very first time he's ever been happy to see a woman in her forties.
Felon Trump cruise to victory, and just like most cruises, half the
people partied while the other half felt really sick. Some more details about the
Mark Norman thing I did in the Bonus episode on Thursday. Quick recap if
you missed it. Mark Norman was on stage. All of a sudden,
somebody joins him on stage, Security grabs the guy escorts him out. Then
we see Mark Norman escorted off stage like he's the President of the United States.
Apparently the whole thing was some sort of stunt. This is just it's
so frustrating and annoying, and if you listen to the bonus episode Thursday.
I said I had two theories, one of which was, yeah, this
is some sort of hoax. My other theory was that maybe the man had
a gun and this was a serious incident. But NOE seems to be some
sort of stunt. If you go back and watch the video, you can
hear the woman. Let me play the audio here. She's just not convincing.
You can kind of tell just say, get up, just get out
the teething. Yeah, I'm one of the producers of the show. Yeah,
we've just seed everybody to get out please. So I didn't want to
accuse this of being a hoax until I knew. But The New York Post
reports Mark Norman put out a statement on Instagram. No one was harmed or
injured during my performance last night at New York Comedy Club. The disruption was
part of a planned surprise activity by show producers, and I'm not going to
say the name of these producers. I had no prim knowledge this was going
to happen, as Mark Norman, The New York Comedy Club said, we
received a handful of inquiries regarding a viral clip of our club being evacuated last
night. First and foremost, nobody was harmed or were injured. Interesting to
me that that's the exact language from the Mark Norman statement. The disruption was
part of a filming by Brand X, the producers that rented our venue for
that night. British tabloid The Sun reports that brand X, again I'm not
using their proper name, are the show's producers. They currently have over four
thousand Instagram followers and posted a series of Instagram stories documenting Mark norman show getting
interrupted from various angles. A few of their other Instagram stories highlights include Tyra
Banks sitting courtside out of Brooklyn Nets game and that clip she's surrounded by two
furry costume strangers and they were eventually escorted away. This is just all kinds
of wrong. I think you can hear my frustration I discussed here. I
did find it curious that Mark Norman was at the New York Comedy Club.
In the hierarchy of comedy clubs in New York, I would not have the
New York Comedy Club at the top there. And now maybe it's picked up
since Carolines went away, because I did notice Todd Barry's there tonight. I'm
not sure. A few years ago, Todd Barry would have played this club.
And while I was on their website Monday night. You know who's there,
Sarah Cooper while she's at the East Village location. Also Matthew brisarda on
that show That's not bad, Josh Johnson, Mike Cannon, Sarah Cooper,
Matthew Brissard. Anyway, to me, this whole thing is just terrible,
disgusting, this move on. Did you know I didn't know this that Chris
Rock almost sort of almost hosted The Daily Show. Hollod Reporter has an article
about behind the scenes of John Stewart's return, and they wrote, when John
Stewart left The Daily Show back in twenty fifteen, there had been conversations with
a listters like Chris Rock to replace him. I know they had reached out
to Mullaney. Rock told the Hollywood Reporter, I wanted to do it up
until the twenty sixteen ele and then say goodbye, but they wouldn't let me
do that. Doug Herzog, who oversaw Comedy Central at the time, confirms
the story and said, I thought, and this is where the landscape has
changed dramatically. We needed to find the person that could sit there every night,
and I didn't want to be doing this again in six months, but
everything's changed and people aren't there every night anymore. Chris Rock Daily Show.
Wow, I feel like that'd be a step down for him, Like if
he wanted to do that kind of thing, wouldn't he have like an HBO
show. I don't know, Well, he didn't do it anyway. Trevor
Noah had Kevin Hart on his podcast Fantastic Listen, Please listen to it.
Trevor and Kevin have tremendous chemistry. Kevin was talking about putting his tours together,
and he said, when I feel like I'm at the peak of the
set, when I'm at one hundred and sixty shows, Kevin said, my
process starts comedy clubs, theaters, back to comedy clubs, back to theaters.
Then I'll go arenas. Trevor said, wait, why are you going
back? What happened? What went wrong? Kevin? Nothing went wrong,
but you do it to make sure, like make sure I'm not jumping out
of the gun too fast, because once you start killing in theaters, that
means I should destroying a comedy. There was a time when Dave Chappelle never
used to want to do arenas. Obviously everybody wants to see him, so
now he has to do bigger venues. But yeah, you definitely lose something,
do you. Kevin Hart prefer arenas. Kevin said, if I got
to be honest with you, man, I do. But let me tell
you why. Hear me out and here's how I got Dave. It's how
I got Dave. Bit with the bug. I said, listen to me,
Dave. The beauty of doing the arenas when you're a good comic,
it's turning the arenas into an intimate environment. Trevor says, keV, you
can never turn it into that. The thing about arena is I always feel
like the laughter is not happening in my section designed for the basketball game,
whatever game's supposed to play there, Whereas when you're in a theater, I
always feel like every single laugh is coming from every single person, no matter
where you're sitting. Kevin says, think about my production. I think about
every aspect excessive. I like the audience. That way, you can hear
me on a microphone, you can hear the audience, you can hear the
audience laughing. I'll probably do like eight to ten mics so that you can
hear the audience. Fun story from Yahoo. Melissa Rivers, daughter of Joan
Rivers, who I worked with and knew. Okay, wouldn't say we were
best friends, but I work with Joe long enough did I had to hit
a lo on Joan, and this article tells us Joe Rivers would be sad
no one lives in her old New York City apartment. I was in that
apartment. It reminded me of Versailles. There was a lot going on there.
If you look up pictures, there's just stuff on every inch of the
wall and chandeliers, very regal. Joan lived there for twenty eight years.
That apartment was so special and filled with such warmth, laughter and happiness that
would make her really sad. Melissa knows a friend who lives across the street
and says she's only seen the lights on in the apartment a dozen times since
Joan passed away. Joan's former home features views of Central Park and the skyline.
The space was designed in the Neo French Classic style and offers four bedrooms,
five bathrooms, two terraces, five wood burning flyerplaces, and a ballroom.
As New York City apartments go this was sweet. I mean Fifth Avenue,
dude. It was sold in twenty fifteen for twenty four million dollars,
put back on the market in twenty twenty one for thirty eight million dollars.
Again, this is for an apartment, not a house. Apparently, Joan
Rivers thought the house was haunted. She said a ghost named Missus Spencer,
who is a former resident and the late niece of financier JP Morgan, haunts
new residents. She said. Neighbors told her that they witnessed apparitions throughout the
ballroom and grand staircase. Jones said she found an old portrait of Missus Spencer
and hung in the lobby, causing the haunting to finally stop. Hey,
great news, They're making a sequel to Adam Sandler's Leo. You know,
the pet lizard who grapples with an existential crisis and lungs for the world outside
his classroom. It was such a hit that Netflix is making Leo two.
The original Leo starred Adam Sandler, of course, Bill Burr, Jason Alexander,
Rob Schneider, and some of the finest, finest voice work actors in
the business. They are Sonny Sandler, Sadie Sandler and Jackie Sandler can't wait
for LEO two and yes we are one week away from Johnny Mack does an
entire episode saying nice things about Adam Sandler movies. That'll be next Saturday.
If I actually put it together and she could sell, it's going to be
hard to do. I started making a list, and I was like,
you know, I actually like the sketch Gay Robot, but then I realized
that's not a movie. That's a sketch. I also like Adam Sandler's bit
was it Phone Wallet Keys? I think that one's pretty good. Also not
an Adam Sandler movie, So we'll see what I come up with. One
week from today, Ramy Yousef will return to HBO with a new special title
to Ramy Yousef More Feelings Interesting note here. It will return to HBO in
March before it streams on Max. That's Weird. Rommi will tape the special
February second and third at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City at Sketch Fest Today.
We can kick it off at noon with Okay who did it? With
Joe Firestone one o'clock. Paul Giamatti is taping his podcast Chris Gethard is the
guest there. Four o'clock, Judge John Hodgman, you can have a full
afternoon. It's seven o'clock The Futurama twenty fifth Anniversary Spectacular. Hmmm, I
would have to go to that. I don't even know what the other options
are. I am not reading every show like I usually do. Sketch Fest
has a zillion show. Zillion might be an exaggeration, but you get the
idea. Eight thirty Maria Bamford Jackie Kash looks like she's opening nine thirty The
Futurama twenty fifth Anniversary Spectacular. No, it doesn't work that way. You
can't have two spectaculars. This is the first one, is the real one.
This is the fake one because we just did it. That's not how
it works, guys. And is a nine to forty five show called Derek
and Simon and Bob and s F Sketchfest Tribute Celebration. Bob Odenkirk, Derek
Waters and some others on there. If we were at sketch Fest, all
right, so in the afternoon we could do Joe Firestone, then John Hodgman
and we could have a real dinner. Then we're hitting the seven o'clock Futurama,
the real one late show. Let's see I want to do Dinosaur Improv.
Paul Sheer is on that bill. Jason manzukis, Yeah, let's do
that at nine thirty. And there's no late late shows like a lot of
these festivals have, like an eleven o'clock show. Sketchfest doesn't do that.
Meanwhile, it is the final day of the Last Word Comedy Festival in Williamsburg
seven o'clock. Dude in the Improvised Murder Mystery. I would totally do that.
If we do that, we're going to miss the Improv Showcase number four,
and we're gonna miss stand Up Showcase number three. Then at nine o'clock
it's the Improv Headliners Showcase and stand Up Showcase number four. Just one thing
tomorrow, it's Chicago's Musical Improv Party Brunch at eleven a m. I can
now close this tab because my computer's out of memory. I have twenty six
tabs open as I put this show together, so that's why I close that
one as soon as I could. I had missed this one. Mark Maron
had talked about Joe Coy at the Golden Globes. Maren said, so the
Joe Coy thing. Look, I'm coming at this as a comic and I'm
no stranger to enjoying shottenfreud. But this guy didn't deserve It doesn't matter when
he took the gig or how soon he got the gig to host the Globes,
and honestly, the Globes are a sham. They don't efn matter much
anyways. So Joe Cooy takes this gig and it's a nice paying gig,
and he's a comicy season he knows what the f he's doing, but nobody
really knows who Joekoi is. He does find out there's a big comic,
sells a lot of tickets. He is a community around him, the Asian
community as well, and has been successful for many years. He's not a
household name. I say, most people I don't know who he is,
so right away that's storing. I think the primary issue with Joe is not
enough people knew who he was, so they decided to crap on him.
Who is this guy? Why him? Well, he's completely capable of the
job. And then is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the
program, buy me a coffee dot com slash a daily comedy news. I'll
