Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media Hit Air.
Speaker 2: I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Have you
checked out the new Rolling Stones album? It is fantastic.
Mick Jagger has responded to John mullaney. John mulaney had
said that Mick Jagger is not nice.
Speaker 1: Everyone always wants to know if famous people are nice,
like Mick Jagger. He came in to host the show.
My friends were all like.
Speaker 2: Is he nice?
Speaker 1: No? Or maybe he is for his version of life,
because he has a very different life. He's Mick Jagger,
that's his name. He's played to stadiums of twenty thousand
people cheering for him like he's a god for fifty years.
That must change you as a person. If you do
that for fifty years, you're never again gonna be like,
does anyone have a laptop charger?
Speaker 2: I could borrow?
Speaker 1: You know, Mick Jagger didn't talk like that. Mick Jagger
talked like this. He'd go yes, no, Jase. I pitched
him a joke and he went not funny.
Speaker 2: Mick Jagger was recently interviewed by The New York Times.
He said he had never seen that segment by John mulaney,
but admitted the experience of fame does affect you, Jagger said,
you get disassociated from what people might call real life.
A lot of people in show business only hang around
with people in show business because they've got something in common.
They can relate to each other, and you can get
disassociated from what people might call real life. I mean,
you do fight against it. It's a conscious effort. Jagger
went on to say that he's not really like his
stage persona. He compares the experience to that of method actors,
saying they take it to the absolute extreme, so they're
like the character all the time, and then after the
movie's over, they're still in character. It takes a lot
of time to slough off the characters. Which character do
you go back to?
Speaker 1: I spent two hours alone with Mick Jagger that week.
We were writing song lyrics. It was for a fake
song in a comedy sketch. And he was sitting there
and we came to one point and he goes, all right,
let's all go to the picnic. Let's all have a drink.
Let's see what rhymes would drink? And I said think
and Mick Jagger said no, And then I said sink
and Mick Jagger said yeah, And I was like, is
this how you write songs? Just one word at a
time with verbal abuse? Say all right, I can't get
no happiness now satisfaction?
Speaker 2: Shit? All right?
Speaker 1: Next sentence, faya indent face SA. Mick Jagger would go
like this, He'd go di it coke and one would
appear in his hand. Now that's not nice, right, I
was raised. You're supposed to say, may I please have
a diet coke? Please, and then maybe you will get one?
And I bet all of you were taught to say
please and thank you. But if all of us could
go diet coke and one would appear in our hand,
we'd do it all day long. Even if you don't
like diet coke, you just summon them so you could
chuck them in on coming cars.
Speaker 2: It has been a busy week. I didn't get to
tell you about Dave Chappelle going to see Usher last Friday.
There's Usher, He's performing his concert in Washington, DC. Suddenly
Usher pauses mid performance. He scrunches his face and disbelief,
and he calls out into the microphone. Is that Dave Chappelle? Yes,
it was Dave Chappelle. Now this happened during the Nice
and Slow segment of the Usher concert. During an Usher set,
he moves through the audience distributing Usher Bucks, which is
custom currency he carries in a red bag. Chappelle had
other ideas about the bag's purpose. He reached inside, grabbed
a handful of the bills, and made it rain on
nearby people. The arena erupted with laughter. I worked with
Usher war and I didn't know how to address him
because I hadn't really met him, and I tend to
be very formal in these situations, Like, for example, if
I were working with Dave Chappelle, I wouldn't just be
like hi, Dave. I would be like, hey, mister Chappelle
until he waved me off. So if we were backstage
and I had to tell him, you know, it's time
to go on, I'd be like, hey, mister Chappelle, We're
ready for you. So Usher was the guest on Jamie
Fox's show, and I didn't want to be like mister Usher,
so I just had to call him Usher and seemed
pretty fine. And then that story reminded me I think
I had blocked this out. I was actually with Adam
Sandler once, believe it or not, Yes, the great dramatic
actor was at the super Bowl in Dallas and I
was there overseeing Jamie Fox's radio show. And the Big Boss,
who is a star hugger, had my assistant who was
his former assistant, go on a hunt and the bounty
was Adam Sandler, and the assistant did deliver Adam Sandler.
I don't think I interacted with Sandler at all, but
I was with him.
Speaker 1: Hit the movie right now, so we can, you know,
just go with it, another block buster.
Speaker 2: That's what we try to do, just like you do this.
Speaker 1: No, please get out of it.
Speaker 2: I was talking.
Speaker 1: I was talking to your producing Yeah, Jamie, I never
would have named Ray Charles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, movies would make money. Didn't you make some money
off that one? I think I think it went right.
Seemed like a nice guy and a groovy dresser, Johnny mac.
All you're doing is talking about the cool comedians that
everybody likes. What about the annoying comedians? Okay, listener, I'll
hook you up. TMZ reports Amy Schumers, once again showing
off her body. That's right. Amy Schumer likes when we
talk about her, and she shared a sexy photo on Instagram,
says TMZ. Featuring Amy Schumer in a bikini with her
slim toned figure. They write, check it out. Amy strikes,
supposing her two piece while sporting oversized sunglasses and big letters.
The cap should reads C section peeking out saying yeah,
I'm a warrior. TMZ then went out of their way
to remind us you may recall. In twenty twenty five,
Amy uploaded sizzling pictures of her slim down self and
a Valentino mini dress, sending the Internet and a dizzy
over her hot bod. Days later, she announced her divorce. Meanwhile,
Kathy Griffin all kinds of annoying. Last weekend. I don't
know if you saw this, Kathy Griffin posted a picture
of herself holding hands with a young man. A young
man is twenty two years old. She captured that post
he's twenty two. Have added Internet and a couple emojis there,
one of a fire and one of is this a
basketball shooting? I don't know what it is. I don't
speak emoji. That got the Internet at all talking about
Kathy Griffin and her new twenty two year old boyfriend.
You may recall. Back in December of twenty twenty five,
Kathy Griffin wrote an essay for The Cut about her divorce.
She eventually tried dating apps, where she met younger men.
Kathy wrote, at my age, if you can't handle everything
that goes along with me being Kathy Griffin and that's
a lot of bag it trot's Kathy, then I'd rather
hang out with my friends. But she did fall in
love with someone who happened to be twenty three years old.
She wrote, I was really in love with him. He
touched my heart. He came along at a time in
my life when I was like, men suck, there's only
bad ones, and why do I pick the worst ones?
And then he appeared and I was like, oh, okay,
well he's cool, but it's dumb. But he's too young.
We gave it a shot anyway, and we both went
with it for a while, and then it came time
to go. He made me feel sexy and special and
smart and funny, had a lot of the elements of
what I think would have made a real lasting relationship.
He hadn't been banged around that much. He's so young
that he didn't have this baggage, and I just knew
my baggage was gonna get in the way anyway back
to the picture from last weekend of Kathy Griffin with
a twenty two year old psych Kathy revealed it was
all a joke. She posted you guys crying emoji thanks
to all who participated my social media sociological experiment. No,
I'm not dating this twenty two year old. He was
helping me with security during my trip to NYC. But
what if I were. The reactions were fascinating, Kathy said.
Her Instagram comments mostly consisted of people saying good for you.
On thread, she got quote a whole lot more slutshaming,
accusations of grooming, and debates about how gross it would
be for sixty five year old woman to date a
younger man. Let me just jump in here. In my opinion,
I don't care who Kathy Griffin dates. She could date
a ninety year old or a twenty two year old.
Whatever makes you happy, Kathy. What annoys me is every
story about Kathy Griffin is about attention. Kathy wrote, older
men have been dating younger women since the beginning of time.
Just ask Luke Wilson fifty four, who just had a
beautiful baby with his twenty four year old girlfriend, or
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart,
and Jay z and Beyonce some of the most long lasting,
beautiful relationships in my beloved though agis and sexist industry. Relax,
just a little harmless fun with you, guys with an
IG post. Congratulations to Kathy Griffin. We talked about you
for several minutes over on Staten Island. SI Live tells
us Pete Davidson will highlight this year's Just for a
Laughs Toronto Comedy Festival, joining a lineup that includes Tiffany
Hattish and John Clees. Are there people that like Pete
Davidson and Tiffany Hattish and John Clees? Probably? The ten
day festival runs from September twenty fourth through October third.
In the past, under the previous ownership was a really
good festival. I haven't been there under the current ownership.
I'm sure it's still pretty awesome, but I did really
enjoy jfl Toronto when I went. Other comedians appearing in
Toronto include Oh, sorry, I said the second tea right,
look at me over enunciating You're supposed to just say Toronto, right,
You're actually supposed to drop the second tea when I
get a letter from my Canadian listeners at Toronto. Rachel Feinstein,
Joe list Joel Kim Booster, Nick thum Raffi Bostos, Emma Willman, Monaics,
change the Scar Brothers, Caitlin Palufo and a bunch of others.
I think that's actually a better lineup than the New
York Comedy Festival. Anyway, Head on up to Toronto, September
twenty fourth through October third. Late Nighter tells us it's
official Late Night has a new ratings king. The new
ratings king is Jimmy Kimmel, who posted the highest monthly
ratings average of his entire twenty three year run. So
he wouldn't be stupid and take the summer off to
whistle away all that momentum. He's not that stupid, is he.
Jimmy Kimmel's Late Night show average three point one five
million viewers per night in June, up twenty four percent
from May. When he used to have competition. There was
this thing the Late Show at Stephen Colbert that nobody
talks about anymore. Kimmel led adults eighteen to forty nine,
averaging five hundred and five thousand viewers in the demo,
up one hundred and twelve percent month to month. Yeah,
this is what I've been saying all along, Jimmy, that
the Colbert exiles were gonna come to you. And now
you took the summer off and the gun of sample fallon.
This is a mistake. You should have worked this summer.
I like summers off too. This summer you should have worked.
We'll see what happens. We'll see if I'm right or wrong.
In second place, the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon one
point four to seven million nightly viewers, up four percent
from May. So the Colberts don't really like Fallon. I
can't even be bothered with the Byron Allen stuff at
twelve thirty Make twelve thirty great again. Seth Myers has
a show for some reason. Not sure why he's losing
to Nightline. Nightline average one point zero six million total
viewers and one hundred and sixty three adults eighteen to
forty nine. Seth Myers, who has a show for some reason,
finished second, averaging nine hundred and seventy five thousand total viewers,
down seven percent and in the eighteen to forty nine,
so was down twenty one percent? Did you say twenty
one percent, John, I did, He's down twenty one percent
in the eighteen of forty nine. Is down to one
hundred and twenty four thousand people at that point just
air this podcast. Jimmy Kimmel, of course, is crazy taking
the summer off. Variety wrote the article NBC's best chance
to boost Jimmy Fallon seth Myers may come during TV's
slow summer cycle. Brian Steinberg wrote of this particular week
that I'm talking to you during Fallon launches NBC's Tonight's
Show without any regular competitors, a throwback to the days
when Johnny Carson osed the show before Our Senio and
all that. Meyers likewise has no direct rival for his
late night show at twelve thirty Am. Make twelve thirty
Am Great again? Little wonder then NBC in recent weeks
unveiled great bookings for both shows. NBC may have bigger
goals than just winning the summer. Both Fallon and Myers
are currently tied to contracts that end in twenty twenty eight.
Kimmel recently surprised as surprising one year deal with Disney
that'll keep him on through twenty twenty seven. What's more,
NBC has grown fun in recent years of celebrating big
anniversaries for some of its most durable properties. Tonight will
turn seventy five and twenty twenty nine, and if NBC
wants to celebrate the occasion with the current host, it
presumably will have to extend his contract. Yeah. Imagine switching
hosts and being like, Hey, I'm uh, I don't know
who's somebody ridiculous that they would put on. Hi, I'm
Nicky Glazer. Welcome to the Tonight Show. Now, that's not
going to happen. Variety catching on to one of the
YouTube things not working, they wrote, Meanwhile, Julian Shapiro Bornham,
who hosts Outside Tonight, none of his clips appeared to
have generated more than ninety thousand views. Ouch, and do
you like the TV show the It Crowd, The it Crowd,
the British shitcom. That's very funny. They made it crowd.
Lego Yes, a mock up has been posted on Lego ideas,
a website in which any design that manages to amass
more than ten thousand votes is considered by the Legos
to become an official Lego set and includes mini figures
of Roy Moss, Jen and Richmond. Creator says, as a
longtime fan of the Crowd and someone who works in IT,
I wanted to recreate one of the most iconic TV
workplaces in lego form. Even years after it first aired,
the show's clever humor, unforgettable characters, and relatable tech moments
continue to resonate with fans around the world. I hope
this build brings back great memories for fellow fans and
celebrates one of the funniest and most beloved workplace comedies
ever made. You can vote for the ITD Crowd on
Lego Ideas. If you've never seen the show, let me
see if it's streaming right now. If you ever want
to know where something is, is a great website called
just watch dot com, and it appears the id Crowd
is on Amazon Prime Video. Great show if you've never
come across it. And if you've never come across peep Show,
watch peep Show as well. That's a Mitchell and Web thing.
And that is your comedy news for today. See tomorrow.
