Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news, daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians
Speaker 1: and the comedy industry. That's exactly the kind of phrase
Speaker 1: someone trying to train the Spotify transcription algorithm would say. Now,
Speaker 1: despite how I wrapped yesterday's episode, there actually is news today.
Speaker 1: I woke up and I was like, oh, there's plenty
Speaker 1: to talk about. We'll start on a down note to
Speaker 1: the Rob Reiner situation, which I've been trying to only
Speaker 1: talk about through the lens of comedy. This is a
Speaker 1: story that is comedy adjacent and attention once again on
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien's holiday party, page six and some of the
Speaker 1: British tabloids reporting that one of the A listers in
Speaker 1: attendance at Rob Reiner's memorial service on Monday left people
Speaker 1: in tears. They revealed the final words that Rob allegedly
Speaker 1: spoke at the party. According to The Daily Mail, all
Speaker 1: Reiner said, I'm petrified of Nick. I can't believe I'm
Speaker 1: going to say this, but I'm afraid of my son.
Speaker 1: I think my own son can hurt me. It is
Speaker 1: unclear what celebrity said that Multiple reports say Nick was
Speaker 1: acting erratically with guests at the party. One insider told
Speaker 1: people Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy and kept
Speaker 1: asking people if they were famous. Another source told US
Speaker 1: Weekly that Nick behaved creepily at the party, switching gears.
Speaker 1: You live by the press, you die by the press,
Speaker 1: Amy Schumer, and anytime I talk about Amy, I'm like
Speaker 1: she likes us to look at her, and now everyone's
Speaker 1: looking at you, Amy from the list. Many people believe
Speaker 1: there were signs that Amy Schumer's marriage was headed for
Speaker 1: divorce all along, but that isn't making it any easier
Speaker 1: on her soon to be ex Chris Fisher. A source
Speaker 1: told The Daily Mail, Chris is lost right now, but
Speaker 1: is comforted by the fact that Amy will always be
Speaker 1: in his life because of their six year old son, Jean.
Speaker 1: He said that it's come to this. Being her friend
Speaker 1: and co parenting is great, but being in love and
Speaker 1: with her in marriage was better. Of course, everyone eventually
Speaker 1: moves on from heartache, and Chris will too, but it's
Speaker 1: going to take him some time and Amy is such
Speaker 1: an important part of his life. If a source told
Speaker 1: Page six, Schumer expects that they'll co parent full time
Speaker 1: together and that Fisher will see Gene almost as much
Speaker 1: as he does now, if not more. They're still largely
Speaker 1: under the same roof for the kid's sake. According to
Speaker 1: the source, it's important for Amy Schumer that Fisher's still
Speaker 1: there for Gene and even hopes that all three of
Speaker 1: them could travel together if she goes on tour. But
Speaker 1: the insider says she just never wants to be romantically
Speaker 1: involved with him again, So so weird. Another insider in
Speaker 1: The Daily Mail said they didn't try to fix their marriage.
Speaker 1: They didn't put focus on their relationship. It was all
Speaker 1: about themselves and their kid, but never about them and
Speaker 1: never about trying to get back to where they first
Speaker 1: found love. Now it's too late. Congratulations to Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. They welcomed a baby girl, Scottie
Speaker 1: Rose Hewitt. Davidson was born on December twelfth. Hewitt shared
Speaker 1: several images of the family on social media, the caption
Speaker 1: or perfect Angel Girl arrived twelve twelve, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: My best work yet and I'm absolutely overflowing with love
Speaker 1: and gratitude and disbelief. It is believed that scott Rose
Speaker 1: Hewett Davidson is named after Pete Davidson's father, Scott Davidson.
Speaker 1: Scott Davidson was a New York City firefighter killed on
Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one. His son, Pete Davidson.
Speaker 1: Earlier this year played the Rion Comedy Festival. So there
Speaker 1: you are. It's Friday afternoon. You've recorded the entire weekend
Speaker 1: plus Monday. You're gonna go play some video games. And
Speaker 1: you pick up your phone and you see Bowen Yang
Speaker 1: is leaving SNL immediately. Tonight is his last episode. Yang
Speaker 1: joined SNL as a writer in twenty eighteen. He joined
Speaker 1: the cast as a featured player the next year, became
Speaker 1: part of the main group for season forty seven. He
Speaker 1: was a part after tonight's episode, the episode being hosted
Speaker 1: by his Wicked At co star Ariana Grande. Bowen has
Speaker 1: some other things on the works, Tangles, a story about
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's My Mother and Me. He has a voice acting
Speaker 1: role in a new Cat and a Hat, and of course,
Speaker 1: hosts the popular Lost culturista's podcast, The Holiday. Porter says
Speaker 1: it's unusual for a cast member to exit mid season,
Speaker 1: but not without precedent. Cecily Strong did it, so did
Speaker 1: Molly Shannon, Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, and Janine Garoffalo. So
Speaker 1: much for not having any news. On a Saturday, Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise unveiled the first teaser for a comedy Digger, will
Speaker 1: be in theaters in October. Little is known about the movie.
Speaker 1: We see Tom Cruise dancing with a shovel in his
Speaker 1: hands and standing on top of a fence on what
Speaker 1: appears to be an ocean side boardwalk. On Instagram. Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise captioned it in Digger, We Trust Digger, a comedy
Speaker 1: of catastrophic proportions, only in theaters October twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers on Twitter wrote that Cruz plays a man
Speaker 1: named Digger Rockwell in the movie. Earlier this year, the
Speaker 1: director till the Hollywood Reporter It's scary and funny and beautiful.
Speaker 1: Nate Brigetzi has a movie coming out, The bread Winner,
Speaker 1: that'll be out March thirteenth. I shared the trailer in
Speaker 1: the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group.
Speaker 1: As I wrote in my post, yikes, maybe Adam Saylor
Speaker 1: is good at comedy movies because Nate Brigetzy isn't. This
Speaker 1: trailer looks really bad, Dylan commented, maybe he wants to
Speaker 1: get his Jack and Jill out of the way early.
Speaker 1: I did start to pull the audio, and it's not
Speaker 1: worth your time. Nate and Mandy Moore leave the film
Speaker 1: as a married cup whose lives get turned outside down
Speaker 1: after super Mom Katie lands a once in a lifetime
Speaker 1: deal following an appearance on Shark Tank. The catch it
Speaker 1: requires her to set out on an extended business trip
Speaker 1: and leave her husband in charge. That's right, the wacky
Speaker 1: husband who doesn't know how to cook, or do laundry
Speaker 1: or even locks himself out of the house. Shuckle, what
Speaker 1: is this? Nineteen eighty two, Nate Pergetzi assumes the role
Speaker 1: of a stay at home dad for the very first
Speaker 1: time the official log line. With three young daughters and
Speaker 1: little experience handling their day to day needs, Nate finds
Speaker 1: out quickly that running the household is the toughest gig
Speaker 1: he's ever had. I guess, Sandler said no, I guess.
Speaker 1: Kevin James said no. Don't forget. Nate's gonna open a
Speaker 1: theme park, so you'll go on the Breadwinner roller coaster
Speaker 1: in about ten years. In the trailer, we see the
Speaker 1: Nate's character a former car salesman, tripping over laundry struggling
Speaker 1: to cook eggs. He locks the family out of the
Speaker 1: house and he gets lost on the way to school
Speaker 1: drop off. Oh man, they worked really hard on that script,
Speaker 1: and Nate character says, she makes it look so easy,
Speaker 1: but it's so hard. Wow. Wow, we're in Jack and
Speaker 1: Jill territory. I guess I have an early pick for
Speaker 1: next week's comedy stock Market. Jimmy Kimmel did his final
Speaker 1: show of twenty twenty five on Thursday. He said, this
Speaker 1: has been a strange year. It's been a hard year.
Speaker 1: We've had some lows, We've had some highs. For me,
Speaker 1: maybe more than any year of my life. On behalf
Speaker 1: of all of us at the show, I just want
Speaker 1: to say that we appreciate your support, your enthusiasm, and
Speaker 1: not just for watching this year. You literally pulled us
Speaker 1: out of a hole, and we cannot thank you enough.
Speaker 1: See that's not true. None of us literally pulled the
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel Show out of a hole. It was a
Speaker 1: figurative hole. Otherwise, I guess Jimmy Kimmel, the staff would
Speaker 1: have been, you know, we would have been at ground
Speaker 1: level and somebody would have used a shovel and dug something,
Speaker 1: and we would have been looking down at Jimmy Kimmel,
Speaker 1: who would have been looking up at us and going,
Speaker 1: help me. I am stuck in a hole, and then
Speaker 1: we literally could have helped him out of a hole,
Speaker 1: regardless of semantics. Jimmy Kimmel thanks us and says, I
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of harder jobs, but this
Speaker 1: is not an easy job to do. And sometimes it
Speaker 1: feels like we're spinning our wheels. You see so many
Speaker 1: awful and destructive acts, all this damage we inflict on
Speaker 1: ourselves on purpose, and it can make you feel crazy
Speaker 1: trying to wrap your head around these things that are
Speaker 1: so clearly wrong. Not a bad show. Considering what I
Speaker 1: went to bed last night, I thought I had nothing
Speaker 1: for today. I'm in a good mood. My daughter, who knows,
Speaker 1: she's back from college, and she stopped off at the
Speaker 1: new coffee house in town and she got me a
Speaker 1: pistachio cold brew. It is delicious, and I was like,
Speaker 1: how much was that? And she's like six fifty and
Speaker 1: I went, oh my, So even if I nag you
Speaker 1: guys to go to buy me coffee dot Com slash
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News and throw money in the tip jar.
Speaker 1: They suggested amount is five bucks. That won't even cover
Speaker 1: one of these pistachio ice brews, but it is delicious.
Speaker 1: I need your help crowdsourcing for Tuesday's episode. One of
Speaker 1: the segments will be Comedy Festive Us. Much like the
Speaker 1: Seinfeld episode. I will take part in the airing of
Speaker 1: the grievances. Please remind me what I'm forgetting to be
Speaker 1: grieved about. I've got riad comedy Festival on there. Don't
Speaker 1: worry Daily Comedy News podcast Facebook group. Please feel encouraged
Speaker 1: to join the group. You'll get asked a couple questions
Speaker 1: about Bob's Burgers, what about what you Seek? The what
Speaker 1: you Seek one trips up a lot of the robots
Speaker 1: no porn bots in the Daily Comedy News podcast group.
Speaker 1: In The New York Times friend of the show, Jason
Speaker 1: Zinnemann asked what does the potential sale of Warner Brothers
Speaker 1: Discovery mean for stand up comedy. Jason points out HBO
Speaker 1: has one of the great comedy legacies in pop culture,
Speaker 1: helping launch the modern stand up special half a century
Speaker 1: ago with an evening with Robert Klein. Jason adds to
Speaker 1: be sure, the landscape is more crowded today and the
Speaker 1: HBO special does not dominate the field as it once did,
Speaker 1: but it has carved out a niche as an alternative
Speaker 1: to the megastore aesthetic of Netflix, providing a home for artier,
Speaker 1: more high concept work by comedians like Gerard Carmichael or
Speaker 1: Hannah Einbinder. He points out the Sarah Sherman and Adam
Speaker 1: Halley specials as things that could be lost if things
Speaker 1: get netflixed a little. I've talked about on this program,
Speaker 1: and I've talked about it with Jason, that the whole
Speaker 1: HBO Max Max, HBO HBO Max Max, HBO Max Max
Speaker 1: HBO confusion. They've really goofed up the brand US. Old
Speaker 1: people used to understand, Oh, it's HBO, it's Saturday night,
Speaker 1: it's ten pm. There's a comedy special. This is major.
Speaker 1: An example of that this year was Mark Marin was
Speaker 1: Saturday Night at ten pm. Then some things are Max
Speaker 1: shows and some things are Max specials. So top of mine,
Speaker 1: Sarah Sherman's recent thing came out on a Friday. Is
Speaker 1: that a quote unquote HBO special or is that an
Speaker 1: HBO Max special? And is an HBO Max special somehow
Speaker 1: lesser or to only old people who study the media
Speaker 1: like me care about such things. Probably the latter, But
Speaker 1: there really is something to be said for brand. When
Speaker 1: you put Game of Thrones next to Doctor Pimple Popper,
Speaker 1: you goof up your brand. Right now, Apple TV Plus
Speaker 1: is being seen as prestige. Maybe you don't like all
Speaker 1: the shows, but they're getting by on goodwill because oh,
Speaker 1: all right, app the Apple shows are pretty good. I
Speaker 1: should check this out the way HBO Sunday Night used
Speaker 1: to be with everything they put in that nine to
Speaker 1: eleven PM block, and they've kind of messed up the
Speaker 1: brand a little bit. What a Netflix owned HBO would
Speaker 1: mean for comedy who knows, But no matter what it is,
Speaker 1: it'll probably be better than Hularius. And that is your
Speaker 1: comedy news for today Tomorrow, Daily Comedy News Unwrapped. Johnny Mack,
Speaker 1: did you need to come up with an idea to
Speaker 1: burn off a weekend show a couple of days before? Chriss?
Speaker 1: How dare you? How dare you suggest that? See you
Speaker 1: tomorrow
