Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your Daily comedy News.
Speaker 1: David Lucas was on The Joe Rogan Experience. He started
Speaker 1: making fun of Rogan, calling him a strong ass. Howie Mandel,
Speaker 1: who looked like a school teacher when you see them
Speaker 1: out in public. The Allien Reporter talk to some famous podcasters,
Speaker 1: including THEO Vaughn with some Q and A let's go
Speaker 1: quick here THEO current favorite podcast not involved in answer,
Speaker 1: The Joe Rogan Experience, and Matt and Shan's Secret podcast. Question,
Speaker 1: how would you like to see podcasting evolve? Answer? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Question biggest challenge facing podcasting now? Answer everyone
Speaker 1: has a podcast, even animals. Thoughts on listening at one
Speaker 1: point five speed love It? I listened at two point three,
Speaker 1: but I'm crazy. Question we need podcasts because answer? Mainstream
Speaker 1: media doesn't allow certain humor and voices f them. We
Speaker 1: made our own question, weirdest ad you ever had a record?
Speaker 1: Answer Lenny's erin tablets, change the color of your p
Speaker 1: one milliger and five milligrams. Jimmy Kimmel was on a
Speaker 1: Podcastparrently as One with Gavin noosem Marshawn Lynch and Doug
Speaker 1: Hendrickson it's called Politiken. That's a weird combination of hosts anyway,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel said, I don't know if there'll be any
Speaker 1: late night television shows on network TV in ten years.
Speaker 1: Able to be one out there, but there won't be
Speaker 1: a lot of them. There's a lot to watch, and
Speaker 1: now people can watch anything at any time. They've got
Speaker 1: all these streaming services. It used to be Johnny Carson
Speaker 1: was the only thing on at eleven thirty, so everybody watched,
Speaker 1: and then David Letterman was on after Johnny, so people
Speaker 1: watch those two shows. But now there's so many options.
Speaker 1: Maybe more significantly, the fact that people are easily able
Speaker 1: to watch your monologues online the next day really cancels
Speaker 1: out the need to watch it when it's on the air.
Speaker 1: Once people stop watching it when it's on the air,
Speaker 1: networks are going to stop paying for it to be made.
Speaker 1: Johnny Mack, you never mentioned Matt Rife. I know, right
Speaker 1: in the la time said, Matt Rife is living his
Speaker 1: comedy dream and now for the hard part maintaining it.
Speaker 1: Matt Riiche's scheduled clocking forty to fifty shows a month
Speaker 1: writes the la Times led to a stretch of consecutive
Speaker 1: days without sleep as he stayed up prepping for shows,
Speaker 1: editing social videos, and barreling from city to city. He
Speaker 1: fought through it before a pair of recent shows in Indiana.
Speaker 1: He said he almost collapsed while leaving his hotel room
Speaker 1: was forced to cancel the gigs hours before showtime. Suffering
Speaker 1: blurred vision and painful ringing in his ears, he could
Speaker 1: barely walk or talk. He had to be taken to
Speaker 1: the er Raife said during an interview with the Kuckuburra
Speaker 1: Lounge in Hollywood, I felt like I was legitimately dying.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing, man, because everybody around me saw this coming.
Speaker 1: Everybody's response was, can't believe this didn't happen sooner. He
Speaker 1: talked about crowd work and said, when you're rehearsing your
Speaker 1: sat building material on a show for an hour long
Speaker 1: material special, you can definitely get tired of telling your
Speaker 1: own jokes. When I started doing comedy, this was never
Speaker 1: a dream of mine to be at this level. I
Speaker 1: was just like, if I could ever sell out a
Speaker 1: comedy club one time. Ever, that's the epitome of what
Speaker 1: I think a comedian probably could be. Fellow comedian Eric Griffin,
Speaker 1: who directed Lucida, said, what I admire about Matt Riife
Speaker 1: is his work ethic. Nothing was added to him. He's
Speaker 1: been working hard for twelve years now. The fan base
Speaker 1: is kind of caught up with it, and they've made
Speaker 1: him super famous. Riife became obsessed with comedy at age
Speaker 1: fifteen when Grandma took him to see Dean Cook. The
Speaker 1: first time he went on stage for an open micy
Speaker 1: he said, he almost soiled his pants. Thank you Matt
Speaker 1: for that image. Matt said, I had all my jokes memories,
Speaker 1: but I'm so nervous and the host goes on stage.
Speaker 1: We have first time tonight. Give it up for the
Speaker 1: uncomfortably young Matt Reef Griffin says he draws people in
Speaker 1: because he listens, so when he's doing this crowd work
Speaker 1: with people, he's genuinely interested in what people are saying.
Speaker 1: Those are the type of clips that have gone viral
Speaker 1: for him, and those are the things that resonate with people.
Speaker 1: It's not just CrowdWork for the sake of CrowdWork. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the week, I really liked the special.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a lot of fun. It's not
Speaker 1: trying to be high art. It's just an hour of
Speaker 1: jokes and I laughed, had a good time on the couch.
Speaker 1: You should watch it. It's fun rife Warren's audience members.
Speaker 1: Don't try to be funny. Don't do that. Just yourself.
Speaker 1: I'll bring the comedy out of you. Don't worry. We'll
Speaker 1: find it. We're gonna Jordan and Pimp in this. Don't
Speaker 1: be selfish. The Guardian spoke to one of my favorite comedians,
Speaker 1: Phil Wang. He's got a new mustache and says it's
Speaker 1: an experiment. My girlfriend asked if I could grow one,
Speaker 1: because she's into the look. She's the wind beneath my
Speaker 1: wings mustache. Wise, now, I've written some stand up about
Speaker 1: having one, so it's locked in for the time being.
Speaker 1: I'm laughing. Last week I was like, yeah, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: try and grow a cheezy mustache, or at least I
Speaker 1: won't shave until my wife notices and complains about it,
Speaker 1: and then every day I would like forget about this
Speaker 1: concept and shave it. So I didn't grow cheesy mustache.
Speaker 1: Maybe over Labor Day weekend, we'll see, The Guardian said.
Speaker 1: Eur Asian people I've said your success means a lot
Speaker 1: to them. Is that a source of pride? Phil Wang?
Speaker 1: Phil said, definitely. They messaged me about my book Side Splitter,
Speaker 1: How to Be from Two worlds at Once. Some say
Speaker 1: I was the first East Asian comedian they saw on TV.
Speaker 1: Thankfully that's not the case anymore, and there's been a
Speaker 1: real explosion in the past five years, which is very encouraging.
Speaker 1: Tastes abroad in the comedy industry tends to follow tastes.
Speaker 1: A lot of the work for us was done by
Speaker 1: Kate Bop, squid Game, parasite and everything everywhere all at once.
Speaker 1: The more people see Asians and other entertainment forms, the
Speaker 1: less weird it comes to see them do stand up.
Speaker 1: These things build on each other. I call it cool bleed.
Speaker 1: It also follows food culture. Interestingly, Tai Vietnamese, Korean, and
Speaker 1: Malayian food have all gotten big in the UK, which
Speaker 1: provides more reference points. East Asian comedians can talk about
Speaker 1: kim chi and Western audiences will understand. These things all
Speaker 1: track together and give us a leg up. Phil Wang's
Speaker 1: special is called Wang In There Baby. It'll be on
Speaker 1: Netflix September third. Jimmy Fallon announced He's staging a haunted
Speaker 1: maze at thirty Rock Why I don't know either, designed
Speaker 1: by the team behind Universal Studios, parent company of NBC,
Speaker 1: that explains that theme parks Halloween horror nights. Jimmy Fallons
Speaker 1: Tonightmares will feature ten rooms, in one of which Johnny
Speaker 1: Carson rolls over in his grave, each based on some
Speaker 1: of his deepest, darkest nightmares. Those fears include werewolves, aliens,
Speaker 1: breen eating zombies, murderous AI robots, and abandoned gas station,
Speaker 1: and a cornfield crawling with homicidal scarecrows. In a statement,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon said, Tonightmares has got everything you need to
Speaker 1: get supremely frightened this Halloween. Jimmy also has a new book.
Speaker 1: It's a children's book called five More Sleeps Till Halloween.
Speaker 1: The book is due out September third. It's a follow
Speaker 1: up to Jimmy Fallons very very famous and very very
Speaker 1: popular twenty twenty Christmas book Five More Sleeps Till Christmas,
Speaker 1: Not to be confused with the Beastie Boys Five More
Speaker 1: Sleeps Till Brooklyn. So where can I see Tonightmares? Right
Speaker 1: in Rockefeller Center. So that's where they do the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: So I see what NBC's doing here, all right, So
Speaker 1: we'll do the Halloween thing and we'll run that for
Speaker 1: a month and then we take that down. We put
Speaker 1: up the tree, actually pretty smart. Tourists will eat that up.
Speaker 1: I used to work in that neighborhood and yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: just repeat myself. Tourists will eat that up. Jimmy found
Speaker 1: Tonightmares will run select nights from September twentieth through Halloween.
Speaker 1: Are you psyched for the Australian edition of the Office.
Speaker 1: It's the thirteenth global incarnation of the Office. This one
Speaker 1: will air globally on Prime Video except in the United
Speaker 1: States VPN much, which is a shame because the Australian
Speaker 1: Office is in English and we could watch it. We
Speaker 1: can enjoy it. In the Australian version of The Office,
Speaker 1: Felicity Ward plays Boss Hannah Howard, who manages the packing
Speaker 1: company Finley Cretic. In the Australian version of the Office,
Speaker 1: Howard gets news from the head office that they'll be
Speaker 1: shutting down her branch and forcing everyone to work remotely,
Speaker 1: a move that Caesar going to survival mode, making promises
Speaker 1: she can't keep in order to keep her work family
Speaker 1: together the staff of Finley Kratic Adulture and must endure
Speaker 1: Howard's at landish plots as they work together the impossible
Speaker 1: targets that have been set for them. I wonder if
Speaker 1: there's a Jim and Pam thing. I wonder if there's
Speaker 1: a Tim and Dawn thing here let's see. The cast
Speaker 1: includes Eve Poor Steen, Ruskoppolos, Sherry Sebbins, and a bunch
Speaker 1: of other Australian act wars that I'm not familiar with.
Speaker 1: Dina Hasham spoke to Slate about the New York City
Speaker 1: roast scene from ten years ago. Dina said, at a
Speaker 1: certain point it was a feeder for the Comedy Central
Speaker 1: Roast Battle show on TV, So it was like a
Speaker 1: way to get into the Stand Comedy Club, which is
Speaker 1: where it was being hosted for the most part. So
Speaker 1: it was like a way of showing my joke writing
Speaker 1: ability and hopefully a way of maybe getting my first
Speaker 1: TV appearance, which actually happened. So for me, it was
Speaker 1: a way of advancing my career more than like a
Speaker 1: love for the sport of roasting. Slat said, some comics
Speaker 1: love it. Dina said, yeah, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 1: You have to sit down and learn a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff about somebody else, Like, if you're really crazy, you'll
Speaker 1: scout their podcast and try to find something that I
Speaker 1: didn't even know that you're gonna know about them. And
Speaker 1: it's so much work for jokes that you could never
Speaker 1: ever use again, and you can't really test them out,
Speaker 1: Like you can't take the jokes and go to a
Speaker 1: show and test them. So you're just going up having
Speaker 1: no idea how the crowd's going to react. And I'll
Speaker 1: leave you with this fun story from Yahoo back in
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty five, Marcelo Hernandez you know him from
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, At just wrapped rehearsal with that week's
Speaker 1: host Dave Chappelle, Marcello says, I was like, hey, Dave,

Speaker 1: You remember Joe Cooi. I'm not gonna do it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do it, relaxed. Got back at friend of
Speaker 1: the show right now is losing his mind. He thinks
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the Joe Coy clip. Should I play
Speaker 1: the Joe Coy clip makes con back at upset. Remember
Speaker 1: that time Joe Coy host to the Golden Globes and
Speaker 1: he said this about Taylor Swift. Big difference between the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we
Speaker 1: have fewer climber shots of Taylor Swift. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
