Speaker 1: Callaroga, Shark Media, find me home. Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Ellen Degenerous's news specialist out on Netflix today.
Speaker 1: I love this tweet from Michael Ian Black, who wrote,
Speaker 1: she's saying she got kicked out of show business during
Speaker 1: her special on the top page streaming platform in the world.
Speaker 1: Well done. Hey, you know who's really good at keeping
Speaker 1: a secret? John Mullaney Say? John Mullaney had a massive
Speaker 1: drug problem. He wouldn't let you know or say he
Speaker 1: was going to have a second child. He wouldn't tell
Speaker 1: you about it. But Olivia Munn went on Instagram and
Speaker 1: wrote May June Mulaney came into the world September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, the year of the Dragon. May spells
Speaker 1: her name me e I. Olivia Munn wrote, I had
Speaker 1: so many profound emotions about not being able to carry
Speaker 1: my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate, we
Speaker 1: spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace
Speaker 1: and understanding. I knew I had found a real life angel.
Speaker 1: Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby
Speaker 1: safe for nine months and made our dreams come true.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of my little plum my little Dragon,
Speaker 1: for making the journey to be with us. My heart
Speaker 1: has exploded. She added that May means plum in Chinese.
Speaker 1: Mulanie shared the photo on his Instagram as well, but
Speaker 1: also added a video of baby May spitting up on
Speaker 1: Malany's shirt. Has he burped her? Now? If you're a
Speaker 1: regular listener to this program, you may have picked up
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of most Adams Sailor movies, although,
Speaker 1: to be fair to Adam Sandler, like three of the
Speaker 1: last five have been pretty good, so maybe he's getting better,
Speaker 1: Which leads to the question should I be in an
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movie? I saw this on backstage September twenty
Speaker 1: fourth in New Jersey, West Orange, New Jersey. I could
Speaker 1: be there in half an hour. Exterior day shoot non
Speaker 1: SAG rate one hundred and seventy six dollars for ten hours.
Speaker 1: That's sixteen dollars an hour. The background role is not
Speaker 1: covered by SAG After CBA, you must be able to
Speaker 1: present valid ID to fill out a Federal I nine
Speaker 1: form to be paid. Height, weight, and clothing sizes are
Speaker 1: used for costuming purposes only, unless needed for the casting
Speaker 1: of stand ins or photo doubles. What's crazy is the
Speaker 1: listing says Monday September twenty fourth. That's not a thing
Speaker 1: this year, the next Monday September twenty fourth, probably for
Speaker 1: not another five years. I think they misspoke here, but
Speaker 1: it says September twenty fourth twice, so I think that's today.
Speaker 1: Should I go? Should I be in an Adam Sandler movie?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be amazing? Do you like Saturday Night Live? Well, good,
Speaker 1: because we are going to talk about Saturday Night Live
Speaker 1: every single day for the next nine months. Let's pick
Speaker 1: away at that Lorne Michael's interview, he was talking about
Speaker 1: the Shane Gillis incident, as it's now called Wow. Lauren said,
Speaker 1: we had a bad time when I added Shane to
Speaker 1: the cast in twenty nineteen. He got beat up for
Speaker 1: things he'd done years earlier, and the overaction to it
Speaker 1: was so stunning, and the velocity of it was two
Speaker 1: hundred Asian companies were going to boycott the show. It
Speaker 1: became a scandal, and I go, no, no, he's just
Speaker 1: starting and he's really funny, and you don't know how
Speaker 1: we're gonna use him. Well, that's interesting. Why did you
Speaker 1: fire him? Then? Back then Shane apologized to anyone who's
Speaker 1: actually offended by anything I said. He later called his
Speaker 1: own apology corny and took it back. You may recall
Speaker 1: Shane Gillis hosted SNL in February. Lord said, oh right,
Speaker 1: he's really tilted. He would have been really good for us.
Speaker 1: I dabbled with this yesterday. Who's going to play Trump?
Speaker 1: I'm very sad to think that they might not have
Speaker 1: James Austin Johnson do Trump, especially if they bring Alec
Speaker 1: Baldwin back. They asked Lauren point blank, Well Johnson continue
Speaker 1: playing Trump. Where do you welcome Alec Baldwin back? Lauren said,
Speaker 1: I think James will be there, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to get into what I'm doing. Trump has morphed. James,
Speaker 1: who I think is brilliant, played Trumps the sort of
Speaker 1: diminish Trump, the guy at the back of the hardware
Speaker 1: store holding court, and that played because it felt relevant.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to reinvent it again, because well you
Speaker 1: saw the debate. One of the great parts of show
Speaker 1: business is that you can't come back with the same show.
Speaker 1: So all these characters have to be re examined and
Speaker 1: if it makes sense and feels relevant. You know you're
Speaker 1: on the right track. You know I don't agree, but
Speaker 1: Lord Michaels has been more successful than I have. Who
Speaker 1: am I to tell Lord Michaels that that's a bad
Speaker 1: idea Fifty years in. Of course, we all overlook the
Speaker 1: five years Lauren didn't do SNL forty five of fifty
Speaker 1: years in, Lauren deserves some credit here, younger people. After
Speaker 1: the initial cast left, Lauren also laughed and was not
Speaker 1: the show order from like nineteen eighty through eighty four
Speaker 1: and then came back. Doesn't mean it's bad. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you what happened. The first year without Lauren was
Speaker 1: a disaster at the show almost got canceled Bavy Club rights.
Speaker 1: Over the last five years alone, the show's adjusted its
Speaker 1: take on Joe Biden at least five times, with Woody
Speaker 1: Harrison and Jim Carrey playing candidate Biden, Alex Moffitt, James
Speaker 1: Austin Johnson, and finally mikey Day playing him as president.
Speaker 1: Lauren told The Hollywood Reporter, I think we have the
Speaker 1: people to play the candidates and it should be fun.
Speaker 1: SNL back Saturday, Chloe Feineman told Variety, I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: I can finally make my Milania Trump debut. She said
Speaker 1: she's been sitting on her impression of Malania for about
Speaker 1: five years. The Gonzaga Bulletin went to go see THEO Vaughn.
Speaker 1: They had a review. Let's see what they said. Armed
Speaker 1: with a mullet Louisiana and accent and a somewhat unorthodox
Speaker 1: comedic style, THEO Vaughn took on the Spokane Arena on
Speaker 1: September twelfth. With the packed house, Vaughn managed to address
Speaker 1: today's topics with his personal flare and humor. Von Sett
Speaker 1: matched the style all of his podcast. He clearly had
Speaker 1: topics that he thought about beforehand and wanted to touch on,
Speaker 1: Yet it seemed most of the show was off the dome.
Speaker 1: The entire energy and success of the event was less
Speaker 1: owned to Vaughn's practice and script, but more to his
Speaker 1: natural Chrisman understanding of his audience. Thus, the show had
Speaker 1: a conversational, casual tone to it. One man ended up
Speaker 1: being the victim of Vaughn's crowd workabilities, with Von jokingly
Speaker 1: accusing him of being a pedophile. The man later revealed
Speaker 1: himself to be working as a teacher. That got a
Speaker 1: lot of laughs. The Gonzaga Bulletin writes perhaps the most
Speaker 1: interesting aspect of Vaughn's companies the underlying sense of satire
Speaker 1: in relation to the topics he seems to enjoy. While
Speaker 1: the audience hangs on every joke about gun ownership and
Speaker 1: down syndrome, they seem to miss the reference to Edgar
Speaker 1: Allen Poe's short story The Tell Tale Heart. Vonn knows
Speaker 1: his audience, but it doesn't seem that the audience knows Vaughn. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is not going to the Al Smith dinner
Speaker 1: that's being hosted by Jim Gaffigan. Sorry, Jim. Kamala also
Speaker 1: appeared on Oprah's Unite for America rally. On that she said,
Speaker 1: if somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Also on that phone call Chris Rock who knows. And
Speaker 1: while we're being political, the cast of Veepel reunite for
Speaker 1: a virtual table read in support of helping Dems win
Speaker 1: up and down the ballot and Wisconsin. This takes place
Speaker 1: on the twenty ninth at eight pm. Cast members from
Speaker 1: Veeple perform at table read of the show's third season
Speaker 1: episode Create, hosted by Stephen Colbert, Crate is the season
Speaker 1: three episode where Julia's character finds out the current president
Speaker 1: is stepping down, elevating her to the Oval Office. Julie
Speaker 1: told The Hollywood Reporter, we try to find an old
Speaker 1: episode where the president accused immigrants of eating dogs and
Speaker 1: cats back when we were making VEEP. That seemed insane
Speaker 1: and over the top. Send your letters to Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Speaker 1: I'm just reporting here. Amy Poehler will get top honors
Speaker 1: at the Bring Change to Mind's at twelfth Annual Revels
Speaker 1: and Revelation fundraiser. That is a mouthful. It's an award
Speaker 1: given by Robin Williams children, Zach, Zelda and Cody. The
Speaker 1: honor is presented to entertainers who spread laughter and awareness
Speaker 1: through acts of kindness, charity, and revelatory honesty that makes
Speaker 1: people feel heard, seen, unless alone, and through many ways,
Speaker 1: make the world a brighter, more open, and caring place.
Speaker 1: Amy Polar accept the war during an event held at
Speaker 1: a private residence in Woodside, California, on World of Mental
Speaker 1: Health Day, October tenth. Gavin Mattz is one of the
Speaker 1: comedians you should and will know, according to Vulture, which
Speaker 1: comedian's career trajectory would you most like to follow? He said,
Speaker 1: sindbad Chelsea Preidi, Norm MacDonald, worst show, I love a
Speaker 1: bad show and a bomb. What a funny memory imprint
Speaker 1: to leave on lrandom people who just wanted to have
Speaker 1: a good time. Three years ago, I headlined a show
Speaker 1: in DC. I was forced to deal with a group
Speaker 1: of drunk hecklers for thirty minutes until they were finally
Speaker 1: kicked out. As they were being kicked out, a lady
Speaker 1: from their group sneak attack me on stage, rip the
Speaker 1: mic cord, check the mic across the room. Then another
Speaker 1: person from their group ended up with the mic and
Speaker 1: started explaining their case to the crowd. Was chaos. After
Speaker 1: its settled, they made me go back on stage and
Speaker 1: finish my set. I don't know why I had to
Speaker 1: go back on stage. What's the biggest financial hurdle you've encountered, Gavin?
Speaker 1: I would say that needs to have money and to
Speaker 1: keep pursuing a dream as a pretty tough financial hurdle.
Speaker 1: And stand up. You're constantly going out of pocket. Comedy
Speaker 1: clubs will play for your travel, but only the end
Speaker 1: of your weekend, so you're out like six hundred dollars
Speaker 1: like two months in advance. Baying for travel upfront really
Speaker 1: lessens the incentive for me to want to go to Phoenix.
Speaker 1: All Right, you got an unpopular comedy opinion, Gavin said
Speaker 1: in a random interview I did in twenty one, I
Speaker 1: said that stand up comedian should be forced to retire
Speaker 1: at forty. I take it back. Longevity in comedy is
Speaker 1: a miracle, and I look up to anyone who's made
Speaker 1: a career out of it. Though I do believe you
Speaker 1: should cap out at four comedy specials. You know that's
Speaker 1: probably pretty smart. Best comedy advice, worst comedy advice. Best,
Speaker 1: do not hold the mic in front of your mouth.
Speaker 1: Good advice to save me at least two years of
Speaker 1: talking straight into the microphone. Worst advice. Don't wear those
Speaker 1: pants on stage. Bad advice. Wear whatever you want. And
Speaker 1: that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy
Speaker 1: the program, tell a friend about it. They might like
Speaker 1: it too. You know what I'm saying. Let's grow the show. Actually,
Speaker 1: the number has been doing really well. I appreciate you all.
Speaker 1: If you'd like this thing without commercials, there's a link in
Speaker 1: the show notes that I'll tell you how that works.
Speaker 1: Let me be better about promoting Five Good News Stories.
Speaker 1: That's a program I also host Monday, Wednesday, Friday. There
Speaker 1: are five stories and they're all good news or smiles,
Speaker 1: a lot of Guinness records, a lot of ridiculous things,
Speaker 1: a lot of animal stories. It's fun. Check it out.
Speaker 1: Five Good News Stories wherever you get your show. See
Speaker 1: you tomorrow
