Callaroga Shark Media. I'm actually sweating. Hi. I'm Johnny Mackpool's side with
your daily comedy news. A little warmer out here today. I gotta finish
recording this one's I could jump in the pool catching up on Late Night they
were talking about you know that guy was sentenced last week. Probably heard about
that, Jimmy found said. The big question now is whether Trump will get
jail time or house arrest. If he's sentenced to jail, Millenia will be
inside the courtroom chanting four more years. Found again. Trump will be sentenced
on July eleventh, As lawyers told him, you should get your affairs at
order, and Trump was like, that's what got me in trouble in the
first place. You almost need a rimshot there, don't you. Seth Meyer
said, that's right. Former President Trump was found guilty last week on thirty
four counts of falsifying business records and faces up to four years in jail on
a five thousand dollars fine. And I think I speak for all of us
when I say you can wave the fine. Send your letters to seth Meyer's
underst Here report on comedy. Sticking with Late Night, The Wonderful website.
Late Night of reports that news that John Stewart was returning to the Daily Show
was a close secret, but Trevor no one knew about it. Trevor posted
on his YouTube channel that he was one of the few and trusted with John
Stewart's secret. Trevor posted a clip from a stand up show he did back
in January. During the Q and A segment of Trevor's show, he was
asked how early he knew about John. He said, that's the greatest thing
ever. You kidding me? You know that moment where you don't know that
a Marvel hero is gonna jump into another movie. That's what it sort of
feels like. Trevor said. When he heard the news, I literally message
him. I was like, you son of a bee. He figured it
out. But since Trevor knew before everybody else, he said, there's nothing
worse than having a secret. That's cool, but you can't say anything.
I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I just came for tour.
I just wanted some of the walk up bars and the next thing, I'm
managing the Oopa Loopus. Marlon Wayan's new special, Little Good Grief is out
on Amazon. He has a big chunk about Magic Johnson. He tells the
La Times, I'm just using magic as an example of life sometimes dealing with
bad cards. But it's not about the cards you get, it's how you
play the magic. Johnson got delta bad hand with this disease HIV, yet
he still finds a way to live his best life. This whole special is
really about finding that glory within your pain. Marlond doing a lot of press,
also spoke to people. He's not down with the whole Cat Williams controversy
stuff. He says, I think comedy is a gentleman's game. It's comedy.
I don't like all the disharmony. I think for comedy and black comedy,
it's important for people to see love, respect and laughter. Not everybody
has that experience, but that's the experience I come from. I'm not going
to sit there and talk bad. Even if I have a problem with somebody,
I'll probably call them up and have a sit down. If there is
a beef with Dave or Cat or somebody, I'll be the first to get
on the phone with Dave and call Cat's people. Me and Rick Grant like,
yo, let's set a beating to see our heroes fight. I don't
think that's why we're here. We're here to be examples, not just in
the industry, but with our behavior. We're here to be examples for those
coming up behind us. The LA Times had several comedy articles all in a
bunch this week. One of them a profile of Taylor Tomlinson, who said,
when I was twenty, I thought it was going to be married.
By age thirty, I would maybe getting ready to have kids. I thought
if I could tour theaters in my thirties, that'd be incredible. The fact
I was able to do that in my mid twenties. Now I don't even
know if I want to get married to have kids. It's so strange to
feel so differently about everything, but it is comforting to look at where you
are and how it's not why you envision and go oh, but I like
this too. As for hosting After Midnight, I was looking for reasons not
to do it, but then she found out they would only need her Monday
through Wednesday, which allowed her to tour on the weekends. As for her
role as host, and this is very smart, she says, My goal
is for me not to be the funniest person up there. If I'm funny,
that's a bonus. But my job is to make my guests as funny
as possible time out. You'll hear me and Mark Malkoff talk about that in
Saturday's episode, as well as set them up as I can and make it
a great experience for them. I was really surprised that I want to do
this job, but I was feeling some loneliness not on the road. On
the road, I had my tour manager, my best friend opening for me.
I had what I felt was a team. But then I'd come home
in La and feel like I was floating to the point where I was like,
should I not live in La. The Light Times once again spoke to
JB Smooth. He talked about auditioning for Curb. JB says, I didn't
even know that the process was to improv in front of Larry David with Larry,
but I do have this thing where I love to go in the room
as the character. I like to drive the car, meaning that I like
to control the room. Coming from the stand up world, it's kind of
what we do. We step on stage, we control the room. We
have the microphone. We're the loudest person. So I took that and I
said, I'm going in as this character. You see how I walk in
the room. You see my mannerisms right away. If I can make you
laugh without saying a word, I got you. La Times asked how much
of you makes it into the characters you play JB. He said, when
I put my wardrobe on, I immediately become this dude, and literally I
feel like he's not me. We have the same cadence maybe here and there,
but we're two different people. The funny thing is, sometimes on my
way home from the set, my wife would call me to see how my
day was, and she'd say, what did Leon say today? And I'm
literally telling her what he did today. But the writers in the room,
they know your cadence, they know your delivery, they know things you don't
know about yourself. They see your little quirks, and they end up being
part of your character. That reminds me. I was so happy with my
half assed triumphathy insult comic dog impression yesterday. I sent it to Deacon mic
in Cleveland, and then he was sending me back voicemails of him doing Triumph.
Start doing Triumph impressions. It's very addicting. We were trading them for
like half an hour. And believe me, I looked for stories today about
either Smigel or Triumph just for an excuse to do the impression. Couldn't find
one. As I walk around my house babbling to myself, I have found
I can't do a half assed Triumph at all unless I have a proper Triumph
script. I can't just ad lib Triumph, whereas Deacon Mike comparently can ad
lib Triumph. So maybe I'll let him host the show one day. Natasha
Lazeiro spoke to skateboarding dot com, your home for skateboarding news, which you
think I was gonna say. She was on Tony Hawk's podcast, and she
said, you know what I like about skateboarding? Actually, Natasha, I
don't tell us. It's the only sport that's associated with cool subcultures in my
opinion, I mean football, soccer. Give me a break. All right,
you've heard me talk about it for a few days. I'm excited to
share with you my interview with Mark Malcoff on Saturday. That's an hour long
conversation about late night and related topics. If you can't wait become a premium
subscriber. It's already in the premium feed. I know Becky's already listened to
it. Hey, Becky, I took care of you. I recorded a
short bonus episode just for the premium feeds for Saturday, so you'll have something
to listen to. You see, Becky's already heard Saturday show, so she's
gonna get up Saturday and be like, I don't have any Johnny Max today.
Well, good news. You've got about three and a half minutes of
me babbling while driving home from the donuts chain. That'll be in the premium
feed. That's probably not a reason to subscribe to the premium feed. But
if you want to hear Mark Malkoff early, or you would like these episodes,
add free. Now there's a reason four nine A nine a month.
The link is of the show notes Calaroga dot supportingcast dot FM. We've solved
that whole three am seven am thing where I had to get out of bed
and load things manually. It's all set. Oh and you can use whatever
app you want. Pocket Casts use it, Spotify use it, Apple Podcasts
use it. Joe's podcast app. I don't know why you used Joe's podcast
app, But you can use it. I've been pretty happy with this outdoor
audio. I don't know if you can hear the lawnmower landscapers to my right.
The mic really hasn't been picking that stuff up, which is fine,
right, because then I can really sit outside and you guys won't be like,
what does he even do? But I figure it's a summer and it's
a comedy podcast, and I am influenced by eighties Letterman, and I'd like
to think eighties Dave would appreciate me sitting next to the pool recording this thing
while the landscapers go, why not? All right? This one from the
Daily Mail. I'm gonna have to clean it up quite a bit. Hi.
Mai Caravaca is a Spanish comedian who was in the middle of performing a
set in Madrid on Monday night. Jimei was suddenly interrupted by an enraged father
who walked on stage and hit him in the head. Why. The attacker
was heard saying those pedophiles comments about my son, say them on my facy
piece of trash. Now, all right, what is this all about?
Apparently, mister Caravaca the day before on social media, had made a comment
on the attacker's son. The attacker had boasted a photo of himself and his
young son on Twitter. The caption said pride and joy. Caravaca then posted
something which I will quite clean up. No one will be able to avoid
the possibility of your son being gay, and that when eighty's older, he
will become sick of doing favors and for whatever reason. Caravaca commented on the
skin pigmentation of the people you would perform the favors on? Did I say
on four? I think we all know what I'm talking about? Now leave
it in. The father said, what were you saying? Huh that my
son was going to eat? You know something? You know? Move on,
he's three months old, trash. Now what say to my face?
Say to my face right now? Oh this is good. I hope you
can hear the leaf blowers. This is fun. Eighties Dave would love it.
An unidentified man interfered. The father said, I'm sorry, I'm just
a father who's defending his child. He's made sexualizing comments about my three month
old son. I don't know why the comedian would post that. That's just
a weird move to begin with. It's not even funny. The father then
points to Caravak and says that has its consequences. He called Caravaca clown and
then smacked him in the face again and walked off stage. Police called to
the scene made no arrests, as the comedian chose not to file a complaint
against the father, awkwardly switching topics. Eugene Merman, who you know supposedly
stars in Boburger's You know my deal with that? Yeah right. He's announced
a tour It's called an Evening of Whimsy and Mild Grievances. This kicks off
September sixth in Seattle. I'm shouting over the landscape as he probably can't even
hear now. I love it. Portland in September, and then taking all
of October off. Presumably he'll plug in some dates there Madison, Wisconsin,
Milwaukee, and Chicago on November sixth, seventh, and eighth. Michael Keaton
is trying to trick me into saying beetlejuice three times. It's not going to
work. But he was talking about that character in that movie, you know,
the one, and he said there had been so much merchandising of it,
I had to drop back to where it started. I had to go
was my unusual imagination even thinking about it when I was developing in the first
place. As opposed to seeing a coffee mug or a golf club cover.
That was weird. To be honest with you, being very frank, it
was off putting to look at it and go, I don't want to look
at all these things. F that what was the thing that started this?
On Gossip Corner, Joe Cooy turned fifty three. He celebrated his birthday by
making a last minute announcement for meet and greet swag and a round of drinks
at the popular Filipino American drink and dessert chain Cafe eighty six. You'll find
Cafe eighty six in Artisia, California. Joe Coy said, come say ay,
come say a happy birthday, and I brought a whole bunch of birch
I'm just gonna give away for free. It's about the community, y'all,
Filipino supporting other Filipinos. You know what I'm saying. That's what it's all
about. So this is on me. This is how we're gonna hang out,
guys on my birthday. About two hundred people showed up. Joe KOI
hung out for a few hours. He then shared, I spent this whole
day with my family. Thank you Cafe eighty six. We did it,
and everybody that came out, Stay blessed, stay warm, and stay around
your family. I love you, guys. Cheers. Joe Coy is on
Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Michelle Buttoo is taping her special at Radio City tonight.
One of the listeners told me on the side, a listener, you
know who you are. The listener is dming me so I don't like to
reveal people. Perhaps this person wants to stay private, but thank you for
the note. The listener told me that Michelle is the first female comedian record
a special at Radio City. That surprised me. It's twenty twenty four.
Radio City Music Hall is not new. You would have thought somebody did it
by now, but I guess not. Pace Magazine watched Dan Lacanta's new special
for the Boys, which was filmed in front of an auditorium of fifteen year
old male students at Locata's alma mater, I'm Harrison Central High School in Buffalo.
Pace says Licata performs as a heightened, blustering version of himself. His
persona coming across like a stoner friend of AJ sopranos who never quite grew up,
sprinkled with malapropisms and his unofficial cat trees. You know I had to
do it to him. Lakata's Hours, made up of one off stories that
are all hyperbole and unbridled vulgarity for the Boys, is streaming for free on
YouTube. Right I'm going in the pool. That's your comedy news for today.
If you like this thing, ad free, explain that already didn't I
and the promos probably gonna run next anyway. Just listen to that. They'll
tell you what to do see tomorrow
