Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack. I did
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl preview yesterday and Saturday's episode. That way,
Speaker 1: it didn't get immediately dated, so if you want to
Speaker 1: check that out. But here I am with today's Daily
Speaker 1: Comedy news. The question will Will Smith slap Ricky Gervase?
Speaker 1: Now you're like Johnny Mack, Why would Will Smith slap
Speaker 1: Ricky Gervase? That seems like a mean thing to do. Well.
Speaker 1: Ricky commented on Jaden Smith's castle shaped hat that Jaden
Speaker 1: wore to the twenty twenty five Grammy Awards. You may
Speaker 1: have seen a picture of this on social media. It
Speaker 1: was a little weird. Derves was on Twitter and he
Speaker 1: responded to a photo of Jaden in the attention grabbing hat,
Speaker 1: and Jervas wrote, maybe he's bald like his mom. Watch out,
Speaker 1: you might get slapped. Be careful. Hank Azaria says he's
Speaker 1: worried AI could replace the voices of the Simpsons in
Speaker 1: the future. Hank, I have news for you. They could
Speaker 1: do that. Now need proof. This is actually Ai, Johnny
Speaker 1: Max speaking right now. Yeah, Hank, you see AI is
Speaker 1: pretty good? Now? Did that sound perfect? No? I spent
Speaker 1: ten seconds, making that if I actually massaged a little,
Speaker 1: it would sound even more like live me. Anyway. Hank
Speaker 1: has expressed fear to The New York Times that AI
Speaker 1: could replace him as the voice of several characters on
Speaker 1: The Simpsons. Hank voices several characters, including Mo, the Bartender
Speaker 1: and Chief Wigham thirty six seasons in. Hank is aware
Speaker 1: that AI has a lot of material to pull from him.
Speaker 1: He told The Times, I imagine that soon enough, artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence will be able to recreate the sounds of the
Speaker 1: more than one hundred voices I created for characters for
Speaker 1: The Simpsons almost over four decades. Being able to bring
Speaker 1: back Ai uh pooh, it makes me sad to think
Speaker 1: about it. Not to mention just seems plain wrong to
Speaker 1: steal my likeness or sound or anyone else's. In my case,
Speaker 1: AI could have access to thirty six years of Mo,
Speaker 1: the permanently disgruntled Bartender. He's appeared in just about every
Speaker 1: episode of the Simpsons. He's been terrified and love hitting
Speaker 1: the head, most often in a state of bitter hatred.
Speaker 1: I've laughed as Mo in dozens of ways. By now,
Speaker 1: I've probably sighed his Mo one hundred times of training AI.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of work to do. Look, Hank relaxed.
Speaker 1: The various guilds would never let the creators get away
Speaker 1: with that. Don't worry about it. Does the technology exist? Oh?
Speaker 1: It exists. I just played AI Johnny Mack for you.
Speaker 1: It's there. And again, if you give me six hundred
Speaker 1: plus episodes of The Simpsons to train the AI and
Speaker 1: then you actually sat there and worked at it. Oh,
Speaker 1: they could do this later today if they want to.
Speaker 1: But again, the guilds and all that, it's not gonna happen. Now,
Speaker 1: might you sign your rights so you get paid or
Speaker 1: your estate gets paid? James Earl Jones did that. James
Speaker 1: Earl Jones is going to continue to be the voice
Speaker 1: of Darth Vader. James Earl Jones is dead, but they
Speaker 1: worked it out the estate. Could that happen? Hank? Sure?
Speaker 1: As Arias said, there's so much of who I am
Speaker 1: that goes into creating a voice. How can the computer
Speaker 1: capture all that? What would the lack of humanness sound like?
Speaker 1: It's a mother bar tender Hank, stop you sound crazy.
Speaker 1: How big will the differences be? I honestly don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be enough at least in the near term,
Speaker 1: that will notice something is off in the same way
Speaker 1: that we noticed something's missing a subpar film or TV show.
Speaker 1: Chief wakems not that deep a character, dude. It adds
Speaker 1: up to a sense that we're watching isn't real, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean if I put on The Simpsons and I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, this doesn't seem real, it
Speaker 1: would totally destroy the Simpsons. Hank, you sound crazy, and
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. The unions of the Guilds or
Speaker 1: whoever controls such things, They're not gonna let this happen.
Speaker 1: You're freaking out about nothing, and you don't need to
Speaker 1: pay attention to it. Believeability has earned through craftsmanship with
Speaker 1: good storytelling and good performances, good seminatography and good directing
Speaker 1: and a good script and good music and Shohnnie Mackwillad
Speaker 1: and some good AI that has cloned your voice. Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian is upset with Tony Hingecliff. During the roast of
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Tony suggested that Kim is a whore. There's
Speaker 1: a preview for the next episode of The Kardashians, which
Speaker 1: will air this week. In the clip that was released.
Speaker 1: Kim's friend said that the jokes made at Kim's expense
Speaker 1: during the roast were so effed up. Kim admitted she
Speaker 1: was surprised the jokes weren't more original. It's like the
Speaker 1: easiest joke they would have said that about anyone. The
Speaker 1: experience made never ever want to sign up for a roast,
Speaker 1: and says, am I supposed to sit there and be like,
Speaker 1: how innovative? You called me a whore? Chelsea Handler spoke
Speaker 1: to the Hollywood Reporter and they're like, hey, Chelsea Handler,
Speaker 1: you know there's late night talk shows are back. Mlanie Taylor,
Speaker 1: you want to come back and do one? Chelsea said,
Speaker 1: I'm not interested being tethered to a studio five nights
Speaker 1: a week. I have too much freedom in my life
Speaker 1: to go back to that Melanie's doing once a week.
Speaker 1: But I love interviewing people. I'm a good listener, and
Speaker 1: that's all you really need to be a good interviewer.
Speaker 1: So many talk show hosts have been terrible listeners. They
Speaker 1: ask how's your summer, Chelsea while looking over your shoulder
Speaker 1: and reading a blue card, like what hello, I'm right here.
Speaker 1: I'll never not be curious, though it would have to
Speaker 1: be a perfect set of circumstances where it was once
Speaker 1: a week or specials like Oprah Rii Shafir. It's told
Speaker 1: Fox News the world is better than people are giving
Speaker 1: a credit for. Almost everybody is not racist, Almost everybody
Speaker 1: is not a dim wit. People are generally kind to
Speaker 1: each other and hold the door open for each other.
Speaker 1: Or He filmed his recent special in DC and said
Speaker 1: that he picked DC because I wanted to do this
Speaker 1: get away from politics, view that there's good in everyone.
Speaker 1: My message was like back, it was Biden when he
Speaker 1: was whatever, and I'm like, Biden made you realize that
Speaker 1: your father's in pretty good mental shape, and Trump made
Speaker 1: women come together. Those are good things. The world is
Speaker 1: way better than your industry gives us credit for. It's
Speaker 1: actually amazing. And all you see when you see the
Speaker 1: news is how terrible and how the sky's falling, and
Speaker 1: they actually go outside and everyone's actually kind of nice
Speaker 1: to each other and friendly. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this Saturday Night Live is fifty years old and
Speaker 1: they're celebrating and we're gonna talk the heck out of
Speaker 1: this this week. I'm already sick of it. Snler is
Speaker 1: to co host the Today's Show with Jenna and Friends
Speaker 1: all next week. The co host will be Amy Poehler
Speaker 1: and a guest ire mikey Day, Cherry o Terry, and
Speaker 1: Chloe Feineman. They'll all co host the fourth hour of
Speaker 1: the Today Show with Jenna. Meanwhile, NBC going all in
Speaker 1: on this SNL writers will guest on Late Night with
Speaker 1: Seth Myers. Paula Pell, James Anderson, Emily Spivey, and Harper
Speaker 1: Steele are all names that will be familiar to longtime
Speaker 1: SNL fans. I'll take your word for it. Luckily this
Speaker 1: article explained to who they are. Paula Pell is probably
Speaker 1: best known to most as one of the stars of
Speaker 1: Girls five EVA. She created the characters Debbie Downer, the Coulps,
Speaker 1: Justin Timberlakes, Omletville mascot, and the Spartan Cheerleaders. That was
Speaker 1: a period of SNL I did not like, and I
Speaker 1: could go the rest of my life without ever watching
Speaker 1: Debbie Downer the Spartan Cheerleaders again. James Anderson wrote for
Speaker 1: SNL for twenty years from twenty to twenty twenty. He
Speaker 1: came up with the Californians another sketch. This is the period.
Speaker 1: I have no interest in this period. Emily Spivey wrote
Speaker 1: from twenty one to twenty, frequently collaborating with Pohlar. This
Speaker 1: article did not mention what sketches she came up with.
Speaker 1: Harper Steele wrote for thirteen years, starting in ninety five,
Speaker 1: and served as the show's co headwriter from four to eight.
Speaker 1: She wrote The Ladies Man with Tim Meadows, Astronaut Jones
Speaker 1: with Tracy Morgan, and Oops, I crap my pants. You
Speaker 1: know Harper from the recent documentary Will and Harper which
Speaker 1: he's the newly transitioned steel travel cross country with her
Speaker 1: old friend Will Ferrell. Also on set this week, Bill
Speaker 1: Murray guess on Tuesday Night. And there is apparently a
Speaker 1: whole old business for Jimmy fallon children's books. He's got
Speaker 1: a new book coming out. It's called Papa Doesn't Do Anything.
Speaker 1: It'll come out this spring. It's the fifth and a fifth.
Speaker 1: I said fifth. It's the fifth. Fifth, you're not miss
Speaker 1: hearing me. The fifth in a family series that began
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen with Your Baby's First Word Will be
Speaker 1: Data twenty seventeen, Everything Is Mama, twenty nineteen, This is
Speaker 1: Baby and twenty twenty two's Nana Loves You More. The
Speaker 1: Papa in the fifth book refers to Grandpa by the way.
Speaker 1: The book tells the story of a child who believes
Speaker 1: that their grandfather doesn't do anything. Jimmy Fallon tell people
Speaker 1: this book is a tribute to the dads and grandpa's
Speaker 1: in our lives and what they've done for all of us,
Speaker 1: and the title will be sure to get a laugh
Speaker 1: if they receive it as a gift. There's a market
Speaker 1: for this. Huh. This does not include Jimmy Fallon's recent
Speaker 1: five More Sleeps Till Christmas and five More Sleeps Till Halloween.
Speaker 1: So there's a market for seven Jimmy Fallon children's books.
Speaker 1: Oh way, sure, that's your company us for today. I'd
Speaker 1: I don't know anything else, saying bye.
