00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news, daily

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry.

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 2>A sentence the algorithms love the oscars are tonight. That

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>was well covered yesterday. Meanwhile, Wanda Sykes was on Stephen

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Colbert's program and encouraged him to burn this Bitch Down

7
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>on his final episode scheduled for May twenty first want

8
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>of Sykes told Stephen Colbert, you gotta go to hell

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>off the last show, burn this bitch down. You always

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 2>bring the fire every night, but this last show has

11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to be destruction. Colbert said, I want to get Pope

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Leo on here. He's ghosting me. He's holy ghosting me.

13
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy O Yang has a new special bullet Where's it

14
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>going to be airing nowhere? It's a theatrical release. I

15
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe it when I read this. It is Jimmy

16
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>O Yang's third comedy special, this one called Finally Home.

17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>He taped it during a sold out arena run in

18
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Hong Kong. The special screen exclusively in Hong Kong at

19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Emperor Cinema, is beginning March twentieth if you can't make

20
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>your way to Hong Kong, wait a week and we'll

21
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>open in theaters across the USA and Canada March twenty seventh.

22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy O Yang, self proclaimed as the Taylor Swift of

23
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Hong Kong, Love It. In the special, he talks about

24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>his family fighting for the bill and his experience as

25
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>an immigrant returning to his hometown for the first time

26
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>in twenty five years, weaving together his English set with

27
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>a touch of subtitled Cantonese. There is a trailer. I

28
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>play a little bit of it. I found it to

29
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>be a little noisy, and I like Jimmy O Yang

30
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot, so I am excited about this one. But

31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>I didn't love the trailer. Let's listen.

32
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 1>You know why Asian people love gambling. It's our only

33
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>extreme sport. Oh we got. The only thing that gets

34
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>maya adrenaline going is the possibility of losing money to

35
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a stranger. Of these Chinese karaoke systems. After every song,

36
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the machine gives you a school is it ai put

37
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>is some old assum in the back judging you through

38
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen seventy two? No, they're asking the seal of

39
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>TikTok He's like, are you Chinese, I'm Singaporean, Sir. He's

40
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Singapore and China. No, it's in Singapore, Sir.

41
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Tom Sigora was speaking with Forbes about his amazing staff

42
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>at why m H Studios. Sigora, on his podcasting front,

43
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>said they handle everything. They take care of everything from

44
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 2>the booking to the prepping of the show to the

45
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>technical aspect. There's a post studio there, social media team.

46
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 2>They do everything, and the idea is we just show up.

47
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>We get to be ourselves and hang out and do

48
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the show, which I think is the best version of

49
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the show for us. It's just beyond there but yourself,

50
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 2>have fun, talk crap, and that's kind of how we

51
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>try to do it. Incredible staff at y MH. Tom

52
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>said he had no idea the podcast would really launch him.

53
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>He said, of course not. I had zero desire to

54
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>do it. I didn't want to start a podcast. I

55
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>got talked into it and reluctantly was doing it. That's

56
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>one of those things where I realized I was having

57
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>fun doing it. I didn't even realize there's an audience listening.

58
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't tell it first, but I just realized you

59
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>can put up the show you want to put on.

60
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>It's the same as stand up and stand up. You

61
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 2>get to say what you want to say. And so

62
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>when I had been a guest on a podcast, I

63
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>was like, I don't do this. But I realized I

64
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to do their podcast. I want to do

65
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>my podcast, and figuring that was a really exciting thing.

66
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>On Friday, I told you THEO Vaughan was going to

67
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>be at the Baton Rouge Parade. As I record this.

68
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Later on Friday, I'm told that THEO Vaughn dropped out

69
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>of the parade, no reason given. At this time, some

70
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>people observed that THEO Vaughn had a Friday night show

71
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and two Saturday night shows in Florida, neither of which

72
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>are in Louisiana, where Baton Rouge is Now you can't

73
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>travel back and forth, and THEO can probably afford the plane.

74
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>But maybe, perhaps possibly he didn't want to be in

75
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Florida Friday, Louisiana Saturday and then do two shows last night.

76
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Who knows. Hope everything's okay there. George Lopez spoke to

77
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>NJ dot Com about doing politics. He said, I tried

78
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 2>not to cross the line, but in comedy, no one

79
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>else was talking about the inner workings of the family

80
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>or what we mean to America. I was never particularly political,

81
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>but over the past fifteen years I felt there needed

82
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 2>to be a voice. It didn't matter to me whether

83
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>people agreed or disagreed. I wasn't doing it for approval.

84
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>It's a small part of what my act is, but

85
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>of course it's there. I always try to make people laugh.

86
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not preaching, and there are ways I can still

87
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>get the message across without dividing the room. Ron Funches

88
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>had nice things to say about Donna Kelcey and about

89
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>meeting Travis Kelcey. This happened when Ron Funches was on

90
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? Funch Is called Kelsey

91
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>an amazing game show host. Never met this man in

92
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>my life and honestly was like, all right, football guy

93
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to come in here and knows the show, the thing

94
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I want to do. I want to host the show.

95
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Let me see what you got. And I'm like, damn,

96
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 2>this man is charming as hell. I get this is

97
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 2>why you're marrying a billionaire. He's so charming and so

98
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>sweet and so kind. Angela Kinsey, you know her as

99
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Angela from the Office, revealed she would love to reprise

100
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>her character for the Peacock spin off series, The Paper.

101
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think i've actually finished The Paper. I was

102
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of sort of into it and got distracted. I

103
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I should probably watch the last two episodes

104
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever I have left. But shockingly, Angela would take more

105
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>work no way, she told she'll developer Greg Daniels, Greg,

106
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>if you need Angela Martin to come, you know, if

107
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Oscar is having an accounting problem and Angela needs to come,

108
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>I'd be more than happy to. We'll see if that happens.

109
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Mackenzie Crook played Gareth on The UK Office, the Real One,

110
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>no offense. It's not like I don't love the American Office,

111
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know. I had to say the UK

112
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Office because the UK Office is the Office. This one

113
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>with Steve Karel is the American version anyway, I digress.

114
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Krook told The Guardian after The Office, I wanted to

115
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>write something that wasn't cruel humor, that didn't have a

116
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>cringe factor, and in doing so I stumbled upon my genre,

117
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>gentle comedy. Not wild about the term. It sounds both

118
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>unfunny and as if you're trying not to offend anyone.

119
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>He said, you recently rewatched The Real Office and said,

120
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in series two, a fire alarm goes off and everyone's evacuated.

121
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Watching it, I had this real Pavlovian reaction where my

122
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>heart just sank because they knew something awful was coming up.

123
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I've forgotten all about it. What happens is, David and Gareth,

124
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>you had twenty years start trying to get a disabled

125
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>employee down the stairs, then give up halfway through, saying

126
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>if it was a real fire, that definitely come back

127
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>for her. It's excruciating. Steve Harvey caught up with Hookendbarrel

128
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>dot com You're home for comedy news. He talked about

129
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>his fishing days. He said, I traveled with a rod

130
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 2>real tackle box, skillet, some charcoal, cornmeal and grease. When

131
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>I caught bass crappier brim, I'd clean them on the bank,

132
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 2>stop at a rest area, and cook them on those

133
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>cast iron grills. That's how I pretty much survived. Fishing

134
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't fun for me. He was about staying alive.

135
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Now.

136
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>One day he stopped at a lake caught some fish.

137
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>The owner of the property showed up and said, hey,

138
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>this ain't your lake. Why fishing over here? Steve Harvey said,

139
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I apologize and pulled my line out of the water,

140
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and then he said, those ain't your fish. Throw them

141
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>fish back. Harvey threw all six fish back in the lake.

142
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>He says, that was my dinner. I got in the

143
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>car a little teary eyed, and I told God, one

144
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>day I'm gonna buy me a piece of land with

145
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>a pond on it, and nobody can throw me off,

146
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to fish wherever I want to. Six

147
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 2>years later, Steve Harvey was on television. Tomorrow will be

148
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the OSCARS recap in a normal episode, then at noon

149
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.399

<v Speaker 2>twenty two in Jacksonville. Other speakers included Tim Tebow, you know,

173
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the football player, and pastor Matt Chandler of Texas. Jeff

174
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Foxworthy open up about his struggles in becoming a biblical

175
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>father and man, noting how the failings of his own

176
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 2>father put him behind the mark. I didn't know this

177
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 2>about Jeff. Jeff's father was married six times, drank, smoked, custed,

178
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>told dirty jokes. Jeff said, I didn't know how to

179
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 2>be a good husband. I know how to be a

180
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>good dad. But I could see guys that were good husbands,

181
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.199
<v Speaker 2>and I could see guys that were good dads, and

182
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I knew enough to pick their brain. Pastor Martin warned

183
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>about the dude phase of manhood. Foxworthy called that phase

184
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 2>the freedoms of adulthood with the responsibilities of childhood. We've

185
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.799
<v Speaker 2>got a bunch of guys locked in right there with that,

186
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's not a good combination. And that is your

187
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>comedy news for today. See tomorrow.
