Speaker 1: Callarogas Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News.
Speaker 1: John Oliver talked about the Emmys playing him off, and
Speaker 1: he revealed he actually felt a slight relief when the
Speaker 1: orchestra began playing him off. Oliver said, I'm not well
Speaker 1: versed in sincerity as a British person and as a comedian,
Speaker 1: so I didn't really want to get upset, and thankfully
Speaker 1: whoever was on the board said you can't carry this
Speaker 1: off and walk me straight into a joke. I'm very,
Speaker 1: very grateful that they gave me the parachute so I
Speaker 1: could avoid my feelings once more. Jesse Collins is one
Speaker 1: of the producers of the Emmys and told the rap
Speaker 1: I apologize to John and his family for playing the music.
Speaker 1: We turned it off at his request and turned it
Speaker 1: back on when he said he wanted to be played off.
Speaker 1: Colin said, we didn't know that the dog had passed.
Speaker 1: Fellow producer Janney Rousson Clay said John always gives us
Speaker 1: a fun moment. When he was going on about his dog,
Speaker 1: which was very sweet. We're like, hey, you gotta wrap
Speaker 1: it up, and the music starts playing and he's like,
Speaker 1: my dog is dead. And we were like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: just mortified. Meanwhile, they asked the producers who came up
Speaker 1: with the idea of roasting Lorne Michaels during the SNL tribute.
Speaker 1: Colin said, I believe it was Seth Meyers's idea. Roussean
Speaker 1: Klay said yeah. He wrote that the cast out a
Speaker 1: huge hand in that you might want to volunteer for
Speaker 1: jury duty. Why that way you could be on a
Speaker 1: jury with David Letterman. Maybe Letterman was up to be
Speaker 1: possible juror in a criminal trial. Judge P. Kevin Castell
Speaker 1: interviewed Jurer sixteen with questions, just as he did with
Speaker 1: three dozen other potential jurors to determine who'd be on
Speaker 1: a panel of twelve jurors and four aldernates. Those jurors,
Speaker 1: including Dave, had already survived a general round of questioning
Speaker 1: in which individuals are dismissed for hardship reasons like medical
Speaker 1: issues or jobs from which they can't be spared. The
Speaker 1: trials expected to last less than two weeks. The judge
Speaker 1: asked Dave, where do you live? Letterman said Hartford. Then
Speaker 1: Letterman realized not the time to joke it said no,
Speaker 1: it's a joke. The judge said, nice try. You figured
Speaker 1: you'd forego Queen's. Dave revealed his true residence area, west
Speaker 1: Chester County. We're told there were then three dozen or
Speaker 1: so exchanges between the judge and the lawyers. The judge
Speaker 1: and lawyers learned Dave was born in Indianapolis, obtained a
Speaker 1: degree from Ball State University in Munsey, Indiana, and has
Speaker 1: a twenty year old son in college in Massachusetts. Dave
Speaker 1: was asked what he does for a living. He said
Speaker 1: he's currently working for a company called Netflix. The judge asked,
Speaker 1: spouse or significant other. Letterman said, I've had both currently,
Speaker 1: I just have the spouse. Dave's bold there in front
Speaker 1: of the judge, cracking wise. Dave was asked now he
Speaker 1: gets his news? He said every morning. I used to
Speaker 1: pick up the paper off the front porch. Now I
Speaker 1: turn on the computer and it's an aggregation of new
Speaker 1: sources from all over the United States and around the world.
Speaker 1: He was asked what he likes to watch besides any
Speaker 1: Netflix programs. Dave said, I like sports. I'm happy football's here.
Speaker 1: I'm happy it's this time in the baseball season. I
Speaker 1: like motorsports. I like pretty much what most Americans watch
Speaker 1: on TV. The judge asked him if he's a fan
Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts. Dave said, big Colts fan, oh
Speaker 1: and two, but still a fan, Dave. Have you ever
Speaker 1: been called as a juror? Ave said, been called many times,
Speaker 1: just couldn't make it happen. The judge said, you know,
Speaker 1: this may be the charm. Dave said, it would be
Speaker 1: a pleasure. In the end, Leutterman was ejected when a
Speaker 1: prosecutor exercised what is known as a strike, which allows
Speaker 1: lawyers on either side to release a certain number of
Speaker 1: jurors from the panel for any reason at all. It
Speaker 1: was the third of four strikes used by the prosecutors.
Speaker 1: No reason was given. Nick Swarzen is out on the
Speaker 1: toilet head tour. Great name there the eight hundred pound
Speaker 1: Gorilla caught up with Nick Swartzon, who said, that's right,
Speaker 1: toilet heead brace yourself. A lot of people ask me
Speaker 1: why the toilet heead name? And I think of it
Speaker 1: like this. The country's so divided, and my comedy brings
Speaker 1: people together. I don't get political, I don't get crazy.
Speaker 1: It's really absurd and fun. I just realized to bring
Speaker 1: people together. We all have toilets, and we all have heads,
Speaker 1: and I think that will bond people together when they realize,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're all in this together. Toilethead Nick
Speaker 1: Wartson twenty twenty eight. Nick says, my show's really loose.
Speaker 1: I have a set act, but it's like I have
Speaker 1: fun up there. I started improvising before stand ups. I
Speaker 1: can roll with anything. It was funny. In Austin. I
Speaker 1: just did Joe Rogan's which was great, phenomenal. And I
Speaker 1: remember this guy, older guy like sixty. Hey watch it.
Speaker 1: I just turned fifty five. I'm very sensitive about calling
Speaker 1: people sixty, very old people who were sixty, you're quite young.
Speaker 1: And I remember this guy, older guy, like sixty, and
Speaker 1: he was so hammered. And I think the thing about
Speaker 1: Heckler's that people have to realize is I don't care.
Speaker 1: I rarely throw people out, but the people around that person.
Speaker 1: That's why you have to think about when you're screaming
Speaker 1: and yelling, the person next to you paid money too.
Speaker 1: So this guy in Austin is so belligerent and this
Speaker 1: woman started screaming at him. So I had to stop
Speaker 1: the show and be like, hey, what's going on here,
Speaker 1: and she's like, this effing a hole won't shut up.
Speaker 1: He yelled at her, and I was like, dude, you
Speaker 1: got chill out. Man. Security came over and said you
Speaker 1: gotta go, So I started kicking him out, and he
Speaker 1: said get your hands off me, and they're like, dude,
Speaker 1: you gotta go. Man, you're being insane. So he kind
Speaker 1: of insulted a security guard and they kind of got
Speaker 1: him in a headlock. Great description. And then my favorite
Speaker 1: part is the guy screamed, Nick, help me, and I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: there's nothing I do right now. You pre self in
Speaker 1: that position. And the last thing he said as he
Speaker 1: was being dragged out, I love you. The New Yorker
Speaker 1: has a big giant profile of Bo and Yang, which
Speaker 1: you can read. Most of it not about comedy, more
Speaker 1: about Bowen's life growing up. But I like this paragraph.
Speaker 1: The New Yorker writes the season of SNL had many
Speaker 1: thorny moments. In January, Dave Schappelle blah blah blah leaped
Speaker 1: on stage as the cast was waving good night. Yang
Speaker 1: lurked on the far and of the set, looking surly.
Speaker 1: Yang said, I was just uncomfortable on other people's behalf.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a big protest. The next month, Sheen Gillis
Speaker 1: showed up as host. Social media dissected Yang's body language.
Speaker 1: The New Yorker writes he felt like a character in
Speaker 1: a culture war pageant. Bowen said, it's taught me about
Speaker 1: my place on the show, being kind of strange and unique.
Speaker 1: I never expected to be a Nora Dunn being furious
Speaker 1: that Andrew dice Clay is in there. The backstory there
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety, Nora Dunn, cast member on SNL,
Speaker 1: left the show after Andrew de diyce Clay hosted the show.
Speaker 1: Bowen said he's learned to distinguish between the show and
Speaker 1: what people say about the show. Hey, nice lineup for
Speaker 1: comics for Kamala. Donnie Zoldan is a former We weren't
Speaker 1: really coworkers where we had the podcast studios. He owned
Speaker 1: the building and the comedy club on the first floor
Speaker 1: and our studios were on the second floor, so we
Speaker 1: were Yeah, I guess we were co workers. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would more describe him as friend anyway. I know
Speaker 1: the guy, and he's been putting together this comics for
Speaker 1: Kamala thing. Whatever your politics. As we approach this from
Speaker 1: a comedic standpoint, you gotta admit this is a pretty
Speaker 1: impressive lineup. This is Sunday in West Hollywood at California.
Speaker 1: Your lineup ready, Mark Marin, Kevin Neelan, Lori Kilmartin, Danny Zucker,
Speaker 1: Mastra Bronni, Dana Gould, Cristella Alonso and Tom Arnold. Showtime
Speaker 1: seven thirty, Doors open at six thirty. If Trump throws
Speaker 1: a big comedy event, I'll be more than happy to
Speaker 1: tell you about it. Boy, you think I could get
Speaker 1: a coffee sponsor for this show? I mentioned coffee enough.
Speaker 1: By the way, buy me a coffee dot com slash
Speaker 1: a daily comedy news Chloe Feynman is teaming up with
Speaker 1: a coffee brand. She has partnered with Ninja to promote
Speaker 1: Ninja Lux Cafe, Espresso, coldbrew and drip coffee maker Ninja
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Hit me up? Chloe Feinneman will
Speaker 1: appear in social media content for Ninja that puts a
Speaker 1: caffeinated twist on popular trends. She gave a quote between
Speaker 1: late Chaotic Knights in the Writer's Room in many different roles,
Speaker 1: having a three to one espresso, drip coffee and coldbrew
Speaker 1: machine with a drink for every vibe is a dream.
Speaker 1: Joe Gaddo's a special came out last night on the
Speaker 1: eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube and channel. It is called
Speaker 1: Messing with People. Is there going to be a Scrubs reunion?
Speaker 1: Judy Reyis says, I haven't heard a thing about except
Speaker 1: for what you've heard. There's been lots of talking and
Speaker 1: lots of excitement. I think Bill Lawrence is incredibly busy,
Speaker 1: but definitely wide open. Raya says, I'm not as in
Speaker 1: touch with the cast. I'm very close with one of
Speaker 1: the writers, Angela Nissel, as well as the hairdresser who
Speaker 1: actually does my hair. On High Potential, her new series,
Speaker 1: Rayes said, I feel very fortunate I forged incredible friendships
Speaker 1: with people that I've worked with from Scrubs on down.
Speaker 1: I guess putting shows in the workplace setting creates a
Speaker 1: space where people could be more themselves. Late Night with
Speaker 1: Seth Myers has spun off a new podcast. This is
Speaker 1: a Closer Look back Election twenty twenty four kind of lame, though.
Speaker 1: We'll revisit old installments of the Closer Look segment from
Speaker 1: Trump's time in office and discuss what those events will
Speaker 1: tell us about another four years with Trump in the
Speaker 1: White House. It'll be hosted by Sal Gentilly, the head
Speaker 1: writer and producer of the A Closer Look segment. Sounds
Speaker 1: like somebody somewhere said, hey, we can make some more
Speaker 1: money on podcast. You guys got another idea, and they
Speaker 1: handed in the laziest idea. I can possibly think of
Speaker 1: old clips with a writer doing raps, not even Seth
Speaker 1: doing the raps. Little am guys. Anyway, if you want
Speaker 1: to check out A Closer Look back Election twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: it's available wherever you get your podcasts, although I suggest
Speaker 1: you listen to Ballot much more fun. Lucy Beaumont's says
Speaker 1: she believes gender equality and comedy has regressed. By quote
Speaker 1: fifteen years she had posted on Twitter and now deleted it,
Speaker 1: Where's all your Women? Basically you can search every city
Speaker 1: for comedy this month, I reckon about ninety percent have
Speaker 1: either no woman or one woman on the bill. Some
Speaker 1: have one woman a month back to fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: And don't get me started on TV panel shows, it's
Speaker 1: become okay again. Let's just call most of them what
Speaker 1: they really are, male banel shows. That book a woman.
Speaker 1: In male comedy clubs that tolerate women, the banter changes,
Speaker 1: the atmosphere becomes competitive, and women don't grow or shine
Speaker 1: or get equal employment. She says, comedy is the biggest
Speaker 1: gossip sever so everybody knows, or if you don't know
Speaker 1: the ones I know yet, you will soon. It attracts
Speaker 1: such interesting, passionate, raw edgy, wounded people, but it also
Speaker 1: attracts predatory men who are really messed up and sexually
Speaker 1: have been repressed for years, and they get a bit
Speaker 1: of fame and displayed his behaviors. There have been times
Speaker 1: when I've just wanted to go on Twitter and let
Speaker 1: people know everything we talk about, but we're not allowed
Speaker 1: to say. That's your comedy news for today. If you
Speaker 1: enjoy the program, a te a friend about it, they
Speaker 1: might like it too. If you would like the program
Speaker 1: without commercial interruptions, there's a link in the show notes,
Speaker 1: so that'll tell you how to do that. You have
Speaker 1: an awesome day.
