Callaroga, Shark Media, Jumarrow on this program, Jason Zinneman from The New
York Times, and I talk comedy for an hour. That one is really
good. Check that out. Sunday, Dad's treating himself to Father's Day.
Will take a look at the best specials of the year so far. Some
leftover jokes from the week. Seth Myers really crushed it. He made fun
of Trump's rally last week, saying on Sunday, Trump held his first lard's
rally since his guilty verdict, where he laid out a detailed policy plan to
tackle the nation's challenges. And I'm just kidding. He screamed about teleprompters,
batteries, and sharks. More from Seth, former President Trump told the crowd
he was sweating like a dog, and he was immediately shot by Christynam.
Trump is no longer allowed to associate with convicted felons, sorry, other convicted
felons, Seth said, you know who. This is really bad news for
his family. Now he's gonna have to spend more time with them. Alanie
is so worried about this, she's probably gonna knock over a liquor store.
And broad Daylight just so she can have a rap sheet. Jimmy Fallon said
things got off to a rough start when Trump offered his parole officer one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. Some Asian American organizations have asked bud Light Netflix to
drop Shane Gillis as a representative of their brand because of his insensitivity and hurtful
remarks towards the Asian American community. The groups include the Chinese American Citizens Alliance
Los Angeles, the Japanese American Citizens League Greater Los Angeles, the Anti Asian
Hate Coalition of Southern California, and the Media Action Network for Asian Americans.
The founder of the MANAA says, we've gotten beaten up long enough. We
got second tire to this. Try saying the N word and see what happens.
If you comedians think we're being unreasonable, do the substitution test. Substitute
Asian with black or Jewish and see if you feel comfortable. If you feel
uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't have done it against us. He notes, some
native born Asian Americans say it's comedy. Just try to laugh it off and
give excuses for it, and they're giving permission for more of that kind of
treatment. In episode three of Shane Gillis's Tires, an Asian father and daughter
come in and speak Mandarin Chinese, and later the owner in tires Will also
speaks passable Mandarin. There are no attempts to speak pretend Chinese. In the
same episode of Tires, Shane Gillis imitates Japanese but sounds more like a grunting
Samurai than somebody speaking Japanese. From Fox News, Bill Burr called out the
hypocrisy of liberals during a show at u C Berkeley last weekend, reportedly telling
the audience that he effing hates them. Oh no. According to Fox,
burd told the audience, I oftn' hate liberals. It is believed he was
referring specifically to white liberals. He also had some comments about people who put
Black Lives Matter signs on their windows without taking any actual actions. Burr apparently
said, it's like, if I tell you my great grandmother Germany had to
knock it off Nazi sign. If you run in a white person who says
they're an EmPATH, run the other way. Burr said, such people like
making other people suffering about themselves. Keith Robinson's special came out on Netflix on
Tuesday. It's called Different Strokes. After suffering two strokes, Keith was able
to make it back to the stage. He tells The Philly Tribune, I
wasn't gonna quit doing something I love so much. I always wanted to be
a comedian, and I intend to continue just doing that. Born and raised
in Philadelphia, he chimes, don't forget to say South Philly. I loved
making people laugh and love to watch all the comics of the day, although
I didn't have to bring that all together. One day, a friend of
mine gave me a song by a gospel singer that talked about why we should
stop just dreaming and doing something to make those dreams come true. While reading
the Want Ads, that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while. While
reading the Want Ads, I saw an ad for a gig at a comedy
club and decided to give it a try. In nineteen ninety three, he
was on Ed McMahon's Star Search. Remember that, when's the last time you
thought of that. He did not win, he did make it to the
finals. Keith says that was a great boost to my ego. It always
wanted to be a comic, and at that point I felt like I had
made it. I think comedy and making people laugh is the greatest job in
the world. I have the freedom to say anything I want to say.
In fact, I could say my comedy is my drug of choice. Actually
I get high on comedy. Well, Deacon might let me down because I'm
here in the basement and not at Vatican City with one hundred comedians. Thanks,
you know, it would have been nice to cover. Could have asked
Jim Gaffigan about his bourbon. I'm sure he would have loved talking about it.
Anyway, the Pope's hanging out today with Fallon and Colbert and Conan O'Brien
and Chris Rock and Whoopy Goldberg. What did I say the other day,
like sixty seven comedians from Italy that a burgeoning Italian stand up scene that we
don't talk too much about. The Irish Times wrote about it and they said,
we imagined the crack in the Vatican green room time out, time outsime
out. If you are not familiar with the Irish slang crack, neither was
I. In the early nineties, when I was hanging around with a lot
of people from Ireland, they were like, hey, you want to go
get some crack, and I'd be like, no, again, this is
New York City. In like nineteen ninety three. Crack was crack cocaine to
the Irish, crack cr a I c is good to fun. So lest
you think the Pope is doing crack with Stephen Colbert, he is not.
He may be having crack with Conan O'Brien, or perhaps drinking father Time bourbon
with Jim Gaffigan, and just even the Pope losing all his coolness. I
digress. The Irish Times wrote about some of the irishm going, not some
of them, all of them, three of them. Ardell o'hanlin. You
know him from Father Ted? Have you ever seen Father Ted? Father Ted
is fantastic. Art All fronted a documentary this year about the crisis in the
priesthood. He said, I have renounced my God and my religion, yet
I still ask a Catholic priest to come along and baptize my child. Am
I a hypocrite? In interviews he said at one point he thought of joining
the priesthood himself, but it was not a real thing for him. Tommy
Tiernan is open about his faith and speaks about going to Mass regularly. Deacon
Mike's gonna like today's episode. You know, Deacon Mike, this episode could
have been really about Catholicism if somebody had hooked something up just saying Tyrnean says,
I'd probably love to go to Mass every day if I could. Actually,
it's funny where you end up. I would consider myself pro choice and
Catholic. So that's a constant negotiation between the independence of your mind, the
realities of your heart, and a man made organization that is the church.
But the experience of being at Mass, I don't know what it is.
I don't know all the prayers, but I love it. It's a community
thing. I think. Eric Idol's got a new one man show called Always
Look on the Bright Side of Life Live. It starts on the West Coast
this September. Written and performed entirely by Eric, audiences will be treated to

nine to twenty seven in San Diego. I gotta stop waiting five days to
watch John Oliver so that I know what's going on. Apparently, Oliver extended
a challenge to a Kingston bakery, and the bakery responded with a new line
of cakes bearing a photo of John Oliver's face on edible candy paper. Peter
Dasing is the co owner of Dacing's Bakery and Restaurant in Kingston, says we're
really speechless here on the June second episode of Last Week Tonight. All right,
I've had a week and a half to watch it. I'm behind.
Apparently, in a segment highlighting the downfall of Red Lobster, John Oliver announced
he had purchased all of the contents of the Red Lobster chain's Ulster County location
through an online auction and recreated the Red Lobster in his studio. Soon after
the Red Lobster closed, Eric posted a note on the front door asking to
buy a flat grill and convection of an if available, and later learned that
John Oliver had already bought it all. Oliver made the Dazing's an offer.
The good news is we're willing to buy those items for you on one condition.
All I want return is a baked good with my face on it on
sale and your bakery specifically a cake bear with my face on it. I
want to be a cake beer, Oliver said, I don't like cake bears,
Ifing love cake bears. Dazing's cake decorator, Jenna Ice is her real
name, Jenna Ice. That's amazing, Jenna Ice says, I can't believe
this is real life right now. I thought it was hilarious. Had me
laughing pretty good. The cakes are selling for eight dollars. All the proceeds
will go to People's Place food pantry in Kingston. A representative from last week
Tonight expected the grill to arrive this week. Gabriel Iglesias back on Gossip Corner
in Santa Antonio, out for food again, this time at Garcia's Mexican Food.
He apparently hung out with the owners and had some tacos a lot less
fun. A court in Indonesia has handed a comedian a seven month prison sentence
for blasphemy. Aulo Rochmann made a joke about the name Mohammed. The comedian
was imprisoned after being reported under a blasphemy law that carries a maximum sentence of
five years. The law forbids anyone from making statements at odds with one of
Indonesia's six official religions, or trying to prevent someone from adhering to one of
those religions. A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said the defendant admitted and regretted
his actions, behave politely at the trial, and the defendant has never been
convicted. The aggravating factor was the defendant's actions have disturbed society seven months.
It seems there's a brew haha going over in the UK at the Latitude Festival.
It is a music festival. Apparently some comedians performed there as well.
Some celebrities will be there. David Takovny, Rick Astley, Duran Duran Keen.
On the comedy side, comedians Sophie Jucker, Grace Campbell and Alexander Hadow
have pulled out of Latitude Festival and protest over sponsor Barclay's ties to the Israel
Hamas War. Also pulling out Joanne McNally and Alexander Haddo, both comedians.
McNally sat on social media. I'm no longer doing Latitude. I was due
to close the comedy tent on the Sunday night, but I pulled out last
week. I'm on the old artwork, but I haven't been listed on the
site since I pulled out a week ago. Jason Signs is performing at the
Lyric Hyperion Theater in La. He tells the story of falling through a skylight
onto a flight of stairs and shares the realities of being a paraplegic in Hollywood.
His show is called The wheel World. The comedian shares his struggles with
grief, adapting the changes in wheelchair accessibility, accepting limitations in his new body,
his wheelchair bound TV rolls, and altering his perception of sex and manhood.
Tonight at seven thirty, If you're out in La and then is your
comedy news for Today again? Tomorrow Jason Cinnamon and I for an hour Sunday
