WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.679 Callaroga, Shark Media, Jumarrow on this program, Jason Zinneman from The New 2 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.480 York Times, and I talk comedy for an hour. That one is really 3 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.399 good. Check that out. Sunday, Dad's treating himself to Father's Day. 4 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.600 Will take a look at the best specials of the year so far. Some 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.359 leftover jokes from the week. Seth Myers really crushed it. He made fun 6 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.519 of Trump's rally last week, saying on Sunday, Trump held his first lard's 7 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.600 rally since his guilty verdict, where he laid out a detailed policy plan to 8 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.359 tackle the nation's challenges. And I'm just kidding. He screamed about teleprompters, 9 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.000 batteries, and sharks. More from Seth, former President Trump told the crowd 10 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.280 he was sweating like a dog, and he was immediately shot by Christynam. 11 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.439 Trump is no longer allowed to associate with convicted felons, sorry, other convicted 12 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.119 felons, Seth said, you know who. This is really bad news for 13 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.280 his family. Now he's gonna have to spend more time with them. Alanie 14 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.240 is so worried about this, she's probably gonna knock over a liquor store. 15 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.159 And broad Daylight just so she can have a rap sheet. Jimmy Fallon said 16 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.200 things got off to a rough start when Trump offered his parole officer one hundred 17 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.159 and thirty thousand dollars. Some Asian American organizations have asked bud Light Netflix to 18 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.239 drop Shane Gillis as a representative of their brand because of his insensitivity and hurtful 19 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.799 remarks towards the Asian American community. The groups include the Chinese American Citizens Alliance 20 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.719 Los Angeles, the Japanese American Citizens League Greater Los Angeles, the Anti Asian 21 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.400 Hate Coalition of Southern California, and the Media Action Network for Asian Americans. 22 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.359 The founder of the MANAA says, we've gotten beaten up long enough. We 23 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.120 got second tire to this. Try saying the N word and see what happens. 24 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.200 If you comedians think we're being unreasonable, do the substitution test. Substitute 25 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.359 Asian with black or Jewish and see if you feel comfortable. If you feel 26 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.760 uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't have done it against us. He notes, some 27 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079 native born Asian Americans say it's comedy. Just try to laugh it off and 28 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.879 give excuses for it, and they're giving permission for more of that kind of 29 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.319 treatment. In episode three of Shane Gillis's Tires, an Asian father and daughter 30 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.640 come in and speak Mandarin Chinese, and later the owner in tires Will also 31 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.919 speaks passable Mandarin. There are no attempts to speak pretend Chinese. In the 32 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.520 same episode of Tires, Shane Gillis imitates Japanese but sounds more like a grunting 33 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.919 Samurai than somebody speaking Japanese. From Fox News, Bill Burr called out the 34 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.080 hypocrisy of liberals during a show at u C Berkeley last weekend, reportedly telling 35 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.960 the audience that he effing hates them. Oh no. According to Fox, 36 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.639 burd told the audience, I oftn' hate liberals. It is believed he was 37 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.879 referring specifically to white liberals. He also had some comments about people who put 38 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.400 Black Lives Matter signs on their windows without taking any actual actions. Burr apparently 39 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.000 said, it's like, if I tell you my great grandmother Germany had to 40 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.199 knock it off Nazi sign. If you run in a white person who says 41 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.199 they're an EmPATH, run the other way. Burr said, such people like 42 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.280 making other people suffering about themselves. Keith Robinson's special came out on Netflix on 43 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.520 Tuesday. It's called Different Strokes. After suffering two strokes, Keith was able 44 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.120 to make it back to the stage. He tells The Philly Tribune, I 45 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.719 wasn't gonna quit doing something I love so much. I always wanted to be 46 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.280 a comedian, and I intend to continue just doing that. Born and raised 47 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.719 in Philadelphia, he chimes, don't forget to say South Philly. I loved 48 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.280 making people laugh and love to watch all the comics of the day, although 49 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.280 I didn't have to bring that all together. One day, a friend of 50 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.360 mine gave me a song by a gospel singer that talked about why we should 51 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.360 stop just dreaming and doing something to make those dreams come true. While reading 52 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.039 the Want Ads, that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while. While 53 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.280 reading the Want Ads, I saw an ad for a gig at a comedy 54 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.120 club and decided to give it a try. In nineteen ninety three, he 55 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.520 was on Ed McMahon's Star Search. Remember that, when's the last time you 56 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.280 thought of that. He did not win, he did make it to the 57 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.120 finals. Keith says that was a great boost to my ego. It always 58 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.960 wanted to be a comic, and at that point I felt like I had 59 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.599 made it. I think comedy and making people laugh is the greatest job in 60 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.800 the world. I have the freedom to say anything I want to say. 61 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.879 In fact, I could say my comedy is my drug of choice. Actually 62 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.719 I get high on comedy. Well, Deacon might let me down because I'm 63 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.840 here in the basement and not at Vatican City with one hundred comedians. Thanks, 64 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.240 you know, it would have been nice to cover. Could have asked 65 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.039 Jim Gaffigan about his bourbon. I'm sure he would have loved talking about it. 66 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.639 Anyway, the Pope's hanging out today with Fallon and Colbert and Conan O'Brien 67 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.879 and Chris Rock and Whoopy Goldberg. What did I say the other day, 68 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.199 like sixty seven comedians from Italy that a burgeoning Italian stand up scene that we 69 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.519 don't talk too much about. The Irish Times wrote about it and they said, 70 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.439 we imagined the crack in the Vatican green room time out, time outsime 71 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.519 out. If you are not familiar with the Irish slang crack, neither was 72 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.079 I. In the early nineties, when I was hanging around with a lot 73 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.480 of people from Ireland, they were like, hey, you want to go 74 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.399 get some crack, and I'd be like, no, again, this is 75 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.279 New York City. In like nineteen ninety three. Crack was crack cocaine to 76 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.360 the Irish, crack cr a I c is good to fun. So lest 77 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.240 you think the Pope is doing crack with Stephen Colbert, he is not. 78 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.240 He may be having crack with Conan O'Brien, or perhaps drinking father Time bourbon 79 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.879 with Jim Gaffigan, and just even the Pope losing all his coolness. I 80 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.800 digress. The Irish Times wrote about some of the irishm going, not some 81 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.839 of them, all of them, three of them. Ardell o'hanlin. You 82 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.000 know him from Father Ted? Have you ever seen Father Ted? Father Ted 83 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:11.639 is fantastic. Art All fronted a documentary this year about the crisis in the 84 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.199 priesthood. He said, I have renounced my God and my religion, yet 85 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.199 I still ask a Catholic priest to come along and baptize my child. Am 86 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.879 I a hypocrite? In interviews he said at one point he thought of joining 87 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.199 the priesthood himself, but it was not a real thing for him. Tommy 88 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.920 Tiernan is open about his faith and speaks about going to Mass regularly. Deacon 89 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.399 Mike's gonna like today's episode. You know, Deacon Mike, this episode could 90 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:39.199 have been really about Catholicism if somebody had hooked something up just saying Tyrnean says, 91 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.000 I'd probably love to go to Mass every day if I could. Actually, 92 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.199 it's funny where you end up. I would consider myself pro choice and 93 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.639 Catholic. So that's a constant negotiation between the independence of your mind, the 94 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.720 realities of your heart, and a man made organization that is the church. 95 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.519 But the experience of being at Mass, I don't know what it is. 96 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.959 I don't know all the prayers, but I love it. It's a community 97 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.839 thing. I think. Eric Idol's got a new one man show called Always 98 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.160 Look on the Bright Side of Life Live. It starts on the West Coast 99 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.399 this September. Written and performed entirely by Eric, audiences will be treated to 100 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.920 never before seen sketches, original songs, jokes, and the humorous wisdom that 101 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.240 comes with being a living legend. Tickets go on sale today ten am local 102 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.240 time, September fourth, Santa Barbara, then San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, 103 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.480 Oregon, Vancouver, Salt Lake at Denver, Phoenix, Santa Fe La 104 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.639 nine to twenty seven in San Diego. I gotta stop waiting five days to 105 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.480 watch John Oliver so that I know what's going on. Apparently, Oliver extended 106 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.680 a challenge to a Kingston bakery, and the bakery responded with a new line 107 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.439 of cakes bearing a photo of John Oliver's face on edible candy paper. Peter 108 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.480 Dasing is the co owner of Dacing's Bakery and Restaurant in Kingston, says we're 109 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.959 really speechless here on the June second episode of Last Week Tonight. All right, 110 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.920 I've had a week and a half to watch it. I'm behind. 111 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.879 Apparently, in a segment highlighting the downfall of Red Lobster, John Oliver announced 112 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.000 he had purchased all of the contents of the Red Lobster chain's Ulster County location 113 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.680 through an online auction and recreated the Red Lobster in his studio. Soon after 114 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.120 the Red Lobster closed, Eric posted a note on the front door asking to 115 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.360 buy a flat grill and convection of an if available, and later learned that 116 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.319 John Oliver had already bought it all. Oliver made the Dazing's an offer. 117 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.839 The good news is we're willing to buy those items for you on one condition. 118 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.959 All I want return is a baked good with my face on it on 119 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.279 sale and your bakery specifically a cake bear with my face on it. I 120 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.600 want to be a cake beer, Oliver said, I don't like cake bears, 121 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.199 Ifing love cake bears. Dazing's cake decorator, Jenna Ice is her real 122 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.279 name, Jenna Ice. That's amazing, Jenna Ice says, I can't believe 123 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639 this is real life right now. I thought it was hilarious. Had me 124 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.240 laughing pretty good. The cakes are selling for eight dollars. All the proceeds 125 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.519 will go to People's Place food pantry in Kingston. A representative from last week 126 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.519 Tonight expected the grill to arrive this week. Gabriel Iglesias back on Gossip Corner 127 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.279 in Santa Antonio, out for food again, this time at Garcia's Mexican Food. 128 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.720 He apparently hung out with the owners and had some tacos a lot less 129 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.720 fun. A court in Indonesia has handed a comedian a seven month prison sentence 130 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.839 for blasphemy. Aulo Rochmann made a joke about the name Mohammed. The comedian 131 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.079 was imprisoned after being reported under a blasphemy law that carries a maximum sentence of 132 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.759 five years. The law forbids anyone from making statements at odds with one of 133 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.279 Indonesia's six official religions, or trying to prevent someone from adhering to one of 134 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.320 those religions. A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said the defendant admitted and regretted 135 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.440 his actions, behave politely at the trial, and the defendant has never been 136 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.639 convicted. The aggravating factor was the defendant's actions have disturbed society seven months. 137 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.240 It seems there's a brew haha going over in the UK at the Latitude Festival. 138 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.200 It is a music festival. Apparently some comedians performed there as well. 139 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.039 Some celebrities will be there. David Takovny, Rick Astley, Duran Duran Keen. 140 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.679 On the comedy side, comedians Sophie Jucker, Grace Campbell and Alexander Hadow 141 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.159 have pulled out of Latitude Festival and protest over sponsor Barclay's ties to the Israel 142 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.399 Hamas War. Also pulling out Joanne McNally and Alexander Haddo, both comedians. 143 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.639 McNally sat on social media. I'm no longer doing Latitude. I was due 144 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.279 to close the comedy tent on the Sunday night, but I pulled out last 145 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.600 week. I'm on the old artwork, but I haven't been listed on the 146 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.799 site since I pulled out a week ago. Jason Signs is performing at the 147 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.279 Lyric Hyperion Theater in La. He tells the story of falling through a skylight 148 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.639 onto a flight of stairs and shares the realities of being a paraplegic in Hollywood. 149 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.200 His show is called The wheel World. The comedian shares his struggles with 150 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.480 grief, adapting the changes in wheelchair accessibility, accepting limitations in his new body, 151 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.080 his wheelchair bound TV rolls, and altering his perception of sex and manhood. 152 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.399 Tonight at seven thirty, If you're out in La and then is your 153 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.320 comedy news for Today again?
