1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark MEDIAO.

2
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:13,199
Speaker 2: Twenty To those who celebrate, I don't, but I don't judge.

3
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:15,160
I'm Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy. He was a

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,879
daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry. Now,

5
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:21,760
somebody who I think does celebrate the day is Dave Chappelle.

6
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:25,920
Dave gave a full interview to NPR. In it, he

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,039
called out Republicans, accusing members of the Republican Party of

8
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:35,799
weaponizing transgender jokes. Dave told NPR's newsmakers, I did resent

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,320
that the Republican Party ran on transgender jokes. You know,

10
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:40,000
I felt like they were doing a weaponized version of

11
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,439
what I was doing. That's not what I was doing.

12
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:44,880
I'll give you an example. Before I learned the phrase

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,640
I respectfully decline, I was on Capitol Hill and everybody

14
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:50,240
ran up to take pictures with me, from every congressional office.

15
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:52,520
I just to take pictures with whoever asked. I didn't

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920
ask how the voter, what their voting record is. At

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,479
first it was CBC people. Then here comes Lauren Bobert.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,920
She said, can I get a picture? And I already

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,439
taken forty pictures. I didn't I want to say no

20
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:02,079
in front of everybody, but I know the phrase, I

21
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:04,719
respectfully declined, So I just took the picture, and then

22
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:06,480
she posted the picture. Before I could even get from

23
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:08,400
there to the show, she says something to the effect

24
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,040
of just two people that know that it's just two genders,

25
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,840
just instantly like weaponized or politicized. So I got to

26
00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:15,719
the arena and I lit her ass up for doing that,

27
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:18,280
and she should never do that to a person like me.

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Dave said, I'm not even mad people take issue with

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,599
my work, good, fine, who cares. What I take issue

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,560
is with the idea that because they don't like it,

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,920
I'm not allowed to say it. Art is a nuanced endeavor.

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,719
I have a belief that they're trying to take nuance

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,079
out of speech in American culture, that they're making people

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,799
speak as if they're either on the right or the left.

35
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:36,280
Everything seems absolute in any opinion I respect is way

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,680
more nuanced than those binary choices that keep putting in

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,599
front of us. I don't see the world in red

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,480
or blue. Dave was asked does he find the President

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,000
of the United States funny? Dave said, maybe if he

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,400
wasn't president. I think it was funny or maybe times

41
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,359
as I do think you know that that's wearing thin.

42
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:51,879
There are funny things about him, like if I were

43
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:53,760
talked to him, it would be funny. But I think

44
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:55,760
what he does is so consequential and so much of

45
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:57,560
these things you know, in my lifetime, I've never seen

46
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,560
anything of a phenomenon quite like it. I'm not trying

47
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,599
to people it, but it's remarkable. I don't know, I

48
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:04,920
don't know how funny it is. Chappelle also went on

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,199
Michelle Obama's podcast We know this because it was recorded

50
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,240
at the new home of WYSO Radio in Yellow Springs.

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,120
I told you last week about how Chappelle helped them

52
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,560
with their new studio, We Are told. The conversation covered

53
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:20,439
many topics, such as why Dave Chappelle lives in Yellow Springs.

54
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,639
While I was looking for it, I noticed Michelle Obama

55
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,840
has been talking to a lot of comedians. Conan was

56
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,080
on that show, and last week she had on Jimmy Kimmel.

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,400
And speaking of Jimmy Kimmel out on Hulu today, It's

58
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:34,319
four by twenty Quick Hits, an anthology series executive produced

59
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,280
by Jimmy Kimmel, highlighting cannabis and the people who love

60
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,159
it All four twenty minute films. Get It to Yeah All,

61
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:46,000
four twenty minute film stream today four twenty Jimmy Kimmel said,

62
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,800
Christmas as a whole cable channel dedicated to holiday programming

63
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,319
for four to twenty, we made four twenty minute long

64
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,280
documentaries for those who celebrate with trees of a different kind.

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,280
Jimmy Kimmel previously was the ep for High Hopesay, Hulu

66
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,879
reality series about two brothers trying to take their marijuana

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,000
dispensary to New Heights. Also out today on Netflix, It's

68
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,520
Funny af with Kevin Hart, a comedy competition unfolding over

69
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:13,240
three weeks building towards two live episodes on Netflix. Viewers

70
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
around the world vote in real time to decide who

71
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:19,280
takes home the title. The Netflix folks put out some FAQs.

72
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,680
FAQ number one, all right, what's on today? Well, episodes

73
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:26,400
one through four. Next week you get episodes five and six,

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,759
and then live episodes on May fourth and May fifth.

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,080
That's when you get to vote. You can't vote on

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,080
something that's already recorded. On May fourth, six semi finalists

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,479
selected in episode six will compete for a spot in

78
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,879
the finale. Then the next night, the final four contestants

79
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
will perform and viewers will once again vote in real time.

80
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,639
Who can vote. Any Netflix member watching the show live

81
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,520

00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,199
or through the Netflix Bubble app. Voting opens during specific

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
moments in each live episodes and remain open for limited times,

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,639
so you have to watch live to participate. The series

86
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,919
features a rotating panel of comedy stars who joined Kevin Hart,

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
who help evaluate the contestants. The special guest judges include Keegan,

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Michael Key, Tom Sigora, Camille Nan Gianni, Chelsea Handler, and

89
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,839
the very soon to be really really overexposed Nicki Glazer.

90
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:21,480
Will get to that. Contestants from around the country will

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,680
face challenges design and mirror of the real life grind

92
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,519
of comedy, including brutal open mic sets, bomb performances, last

93
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,319
minute rewrites on the pressure of performing on big stages.

94
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,879
Moving on to Nicki Glazer, got a lot of Nikki

95
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:35,759
to talk about today. I think someone is trying to

96
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,439
reshape her image. I have floated this theory on the

97
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,199
program before, and now I am totally convinced that they're

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,720
trying to get her out of being like you know,

99
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,120
the roast comic talks about sex and repositioner as one

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,439
of the elites. I've got a quote from Chris Rock

101
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:52,199
here that you're just we'll get to that. My head's exploding.

102
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,480
But it's going to be a big week for Nicki Glazer,

103
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:58,160
who has her special coming out on Friday. But we've

104
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,800
also learned that on Thursday, Nicki Glazer will host the

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,800
twenty twenty six Time one hundred Gala. For the first time,

106
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,040
the red carpet ahead of the event will be live streamed,

107
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,839
allowing fans all over the world to be part of

108
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,519
the legendary nights. One of the one hundred most influential

109
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:16,279
people in the world is your host, Nicki Glazer. Now

110
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,759
listen to this quote from Chris Rock. In the print

111
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:21,639
edition of The one hundred, each person is honored by

112
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,319
somebody else who speaks about them. In Nicki Glazer's case,

113
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,079
it is Chris Rock who says that Nicki Glazer has

114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160
all the tools for comedic stardom okay, but has the

115
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,279
potential to go far beyond that. Quoting Chris Rock, I

116
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,959
hope she realizes she has the potential to not just

117
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,759
a great comedian, but a great artist who uses the

118
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,199
power that comes with this moment to approach her career

119
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:46,360
like Madonna where Leonardo Dicabrio and work with only the best.

120
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,000
I hope this is just the beginning of an incredible,

121
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,240
multifaceted Steve Martin esque career. Chris Rock, Chris you there,

122
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,639
Chris Rock? Are you listening? Tap the breaks? Dude? You

123
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,800
sound insane? Madonna, Leo, Steve Martin, Nicki Glazer? Should we play?

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Which one of these does not belong? Nicki's wonderful and all?

125
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,519
Or what a year out from Who's Nicki Glazer to?

126
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,360
She's on the Tom Brady Roast and his host of

127
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,040
the Golden Globes Tap the brakes. I'm not saying she's bad,

128
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,600
but relax before you put her in the Hall of Fame.

129
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Of Hall of Fame. My kudos to Nicki Glazer's PR

130
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,839
team and the agents and whoever is behind this. But

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,680
because boy, they are just getting the messaging out. Times

132
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,519
article is titled Nicki Glazer is saying Yes to it all.

133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,079
We're told if Nicki Glazer is ever in legal trouble,

134
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480
she will call Kim Kardashian. The two just wrapped a

135
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:37,839
movie together, So you see what I'm saying here. We

136
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:41,000
are moving Nicki away from Roast Comedian and you know,

137
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,639
Golden Globes following up for Joe Coy. Like this is

138
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,160
now establishment, Nikki Glazer Hollywood Insider Nicki Glazer is what's

139
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,639
going on here? It's neither good nor bad. I just

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,519
want to call everyone out on it, Like I see

141
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,360
what's going on here? Nicki Glazer says, I'm proud to

142
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,439
say that I have Kim Kardashian's phone number and she

143
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:02,040
would take my call at any time of night. She

144
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,120
went to law school. She's smart and calculating in a

145
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,600
really brilliant way, and I know she would go to

146
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040
bad for me on almost anything. And the next week

147
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:10,759
I might be scared to text her, but right now

148
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,600
I feel like it's a solid connection. We then go

149
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,480
through Nicki Glazer's resume Dancing with the Stars, MESK, singer,

150
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:20,160
f Boy, Island, blind date. I think we're going to

151
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,040
try and like forget about that stuff. Even time admits it.

152
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,199
They say she was for a long time not exactly

153
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,920
a list. Nicki says, I don't have as many famous

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,879
friends as you think through all comics you don't know.

155
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Then we go through the roast of Tom Brady and

156
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:36,480
the Golden Globes. Then she talks about the movie and says,

157
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,120
in Hollywood, you try so hard to be in things,

158
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,600
and then you reach a certain level of fame and

159
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:41,040
they're just like here you go, and you're like, but

160
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,639
I haven't proven myself to you yet, Nikki. They have

161
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,040
decided you're the one. Enjoy the ride, We're told Nicki

162
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,720
glazers now rereading Tina Fey's and memoir Bossy Pants. She

163
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:52,879
just has a way of her distinct voice coming off

164
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,720
the page. You get approached about books and they're like,

165
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,720
to you a ghostwriter, and it's like, that's just not

166
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920
an option for a comic. Nicki says, I want to

167
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,000
write a really great rom and do it before I'm

168
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,120
totally aged out of rom com status. She talks about

169
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920
leveling up her career. If something has to give, it

170
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,800
has to be personal relationships, ever having children, romantic love.

171
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,480
That's so sad. I don't know if she wanted to

172
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:14,120
have children up, but if she's giving it up for

173
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,399
the career, that is sad to me. Nicki said, I've

174
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:18,839
always dreamed of having this kind of success, and I

175
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:20,360
really didn't think it was going to happen for me,

176
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,040
and I had accepted that. I was at peace with it.

177
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,240
So I feel like I've just been given this opportunity

178
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,920
to do exactly what I've always dreamed of. So I

179
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,160
have to say yes to everything, skipping ahead, and maybe

180
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:31,680
Johnny Mackey is not crazy. Nicki Glazier said, it used

181
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679
to worry me more that I'm like the sex comic,

182
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,399
and then I'm not going to be family friendly. They're

183
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:36,879
not going to let me on network TV. I'm not

184
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:38,279
going to be able to be in movies because they've

185
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:41,440
heard too much about my graphic sex life. I realized

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,120
that people can really separate you into different spaces. Time

187
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,039
tells us Glazer may now be a Hollywood insider. There

188
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,840
they said it, but she actually does her best work

189
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,399
in Saint Louis. She explains, I'm a workaholic, and if

190
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:53,759
I live in New York or LA, I'll be doing

191
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,600
a podcast every day. I'll say yes to a stand

192
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,960
up spot every night. I compared to being an alcoholic.

193
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Going to Saint Louis is like locking up the liquor

194
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,399
because there's no work for me in Saint Louis. This

195
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,360
is quite length. They will get into a little more

196
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,759
later in the week because I have some clips from

197
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,159
Nicki Glazer herself. She caught up with Fox News Digital.

198
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,399
In the first clip, she talks about her relationship with

199
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,320
her fans.

200
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, they're everything. I feel like.

201
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: It's I sometimes get tired of artists.

202
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Saying like I have the best fans.

203
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:23,759
Speaker 3: It's like, of course they love you, like that's obviously,

204
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360
but you know, you really, the longer you are in

205
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,440
this career, you realize like it's the people that saw

206
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,639
something in you whenever. Maybe it was when you you know,

207
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,519
some people discovered me on the Tom Brady Roast and

208
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,279
that was like most people. Then there's people that have

209
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,519
discovered me when I was on the last time I

210
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,240
Standing twenty five years ago, and so it's but they

211
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,879
all I feel like whenever they discover me and see

212
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,480
something in me that they like, it feels like as

213
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,720
a comedian that puts everything out there and really puts

214
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,759
myself into my art, like I feel like my fans,

215
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:53,120
I like know them and they know me.

216
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you.

217
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:57,279
Speaker 3: I've modeled my career a lot after being a Swifty,

218
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,039
and I want my fans to feel the same way

219
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,399
I feel as a Swifty, like understood, and like I

220
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840
know this person whether or not I know her or not,

221
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:05,480
and that I know.

222
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: That she likes and appreciates me.

223
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,279
Speaker 3: So I always try to like, you know, I always

224
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:13,320
try to remember that as like a fan of people,

225
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,159
I want my fans to feel the same way.

226
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: In this glip, Nikki Glazier talks about the roosts, I.

227
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Think the line is always changing. There's always like a

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,440
different vibe in the room.

229
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,279
Speaker 3: There's always different headlines that maybe are it's too soon,

230
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,200
and then maybe it's too soon two days before the

231
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,519
Globes and I don't want to do that joke. And

232
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,360
then two days later no one's talking about that anymore.

233
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:30,799
So it's like, okay, I can joke about it. So

234
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,080
the line's constantly moving. I think every year I get

235
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,720
a little bit more room to go harder, and that

236
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,120
it becomes almost not a point of pride, but almost

237
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,200
the celebrities want it because they know that I'm not

238
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,440
going to say something so scathing it's going to ruin

239
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,279
their evening that it's almost like I've heard that it's

240
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:48,240
an honor that when I roast people like people like it,

241
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,080
and I know some people don't like it, and I

242
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,440
try to feel that out, but that means everything to

243
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,320
me that someone would ever even want me to make

244
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,960
fun of them.

245
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,799
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, she is not taking part in the roost

246
00:10:57,799 --> 00:10:59,879
of Kevin Hardy, even though she'll be at the Netflix

247
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,960
is a Joe comedy festival, which is part of my

248
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,840
theory that they are trying to reposition her career. Okay,

249
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:08,440
Nicki Glazer has the line in Comedy Moved, I.

250
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,159
Speaker 3: Am not a comedian. That's like, I'll never apologize. I

251
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:13,240
have made some really bad choices in my life in

252
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,200
terms of like what I thought was funny at the time,

253
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,080
And obviously things change over time, and so you look

254
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,840
back twenty years at jokes you were doing on stage

255
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,879
and you're like, I would never say that now, and

256
00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:23,799
I shouldn't have said it then even But I was

257
00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:26,159
just kind of an idiot and young and feeling out

258
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:29,080
this business and maybe hanging around the wrong crowds that

259
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600
were giving me the wrong feedback for what works. And

260
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:34,840
so I am always willing to apologize for something I said,

261
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:37,360
if it truly hurts someone's feelings, even if I think

262
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,799
the joke is funny, I might stand by it and

263
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:41,039
go it's funny, but I will I'll.

264
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:42,799
Speaker 1: I've pulled back on so many.

265
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Jokes that I didn't do that were the funniest jokes

266
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,320
I've ever written because they would hurt someone's feelings.

267
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: I think that comes first, and it should.

268
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,919
Speaker 2: Coming up at noon Eastern today, we will find out

269
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:58,840
if Nicki Glazer is the winner of Comedy Survivor. Coming

270
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,919
up at noon Eastern the winner of Comedy Survivor is

271
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,559
it Nicky Glazer or Sarah Silverman. Then on Thursday, it's

272
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:10,000
the twenty twenty six Comedy Draft. This has come out

273
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:14,000
really well. We have five comedy teams representing different mindsets

274
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,200
like industry comics, the ALTI comics, and each team drafted

275
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,960
a lineup of five performers. It came out really well.

276
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,960
That will be Thursday's episode. Why Thursday, That's when the

277
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,480
NFL Draft is and I needed to pretape an episode

278
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:32,080
this week. I watched Trevor Noah's special. At first, I

279
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,440
was like, this is my favorite special the year, and

280
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,720
then I checked my notes and I'm like oh, No,

281
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,120
Chris Fleming Special. Chris Fileming Special is going to be

282
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,639
really hard to beat. Probably winds up as the number

283
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,759
one just because it's so different and awesome and hilarious.

284
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:47,759
But I really really liked Trevor's special because it's mostly

285
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:51,000
of a piece. Now his Closer is almost like a

286
00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:53,960
separate show and a different vibe. But that first I

287
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440
don't know what is forty eight minutes, I'll guess is

288
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,360
all of a piece, and he's talking about hosting the

289
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,360
Grammys and I'm taking a shot at him and some

290
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:04,720
other political stuff, and it's just fantastic. Really really impressed

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,759
by Trevor Noah Special. I enjoyed it a lot. Back

292
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,440
to the time. One hundred most influential people on that

293
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:14,759
list is Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan being endorsed by TV's

294
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:17,039
Mike Rowe. I've met Mike a million years ago. Was

295
00:13:17,039 --> 00:13:18,799
a cool guy, Mike row said. I'd like to tell

296
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
you I enjoyed every moment of my interview with Joe Rogan,

297
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:24,279
but that wouldn't be entirely true. Never mind podcasting, Joe

298
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Rogan has changed broadcasting. His conversations have moved markets, influenced

299
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,399
elections and introduced millions of people to countless subjects that

300
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,840
they didn't know they were interested in. He has defied

301
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,080
our short attention spans and given his guests, for better

302
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,799
or worse, enough time to reveal their true selves. In

303
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,519
other words, by letting people talk, he's changing the way

304
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,799
we listen. Billy Crystal returning to Broadway. He'll have a

305
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:49,519
one man show. Eight sixty. Eight sixty was the address

306
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,879
of the home Billy Crystal lost in the twenty twenty

307
00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:54,639
five Palisades fire. Billy says, we lived there for forty

308
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,639
six years. I invite you to come inside eight sixty

309
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,200
and I'll tell you all the funny and touching things

310
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,759
that happened there, not only in my career, but to

311
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,440
our family. It's a joyous, heartfelt visit about how with

312
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,360
the love of family and friends and you're inner strength,

313
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:06,600
you can get through tough times. I look forward to

314
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,039
returning to Broadway and welcoming audiences to eight sixty. Previews

315
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,840
begin in October, then a limited twelve week engagement at

316
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:15,919
the Schubert Theater in New York City. And we're getting

317
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,200
a little long here today. A quick hit from the

318
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,399
Sydney Comedy Festival. Richard Gadd, that's the guy from Baby Reindeer.

319
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,279
He has canceled his appearance at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

320
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120
He was supposed to appear at the Sydney Opera House,

321
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,279
a beautiful building. You've heard of it, well, I've been

322
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,559
inside it. It is awesome. Richard Gadd was going to

323
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,919
perform there on Monday May eleventh for a one night

324
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,480
only live on stage conversation. That show has now been canceled.

325
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:41,879
At the time of this recording, a reason has not

326
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
been given. The Sydney Opera House said, we regret to

327
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:49,399
inform you that in conversation with Richard Gadd will not proceed. Hmmm.

328
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320
That is your comedy news for today, all right, coming

329
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,000
up at noon, it is the finale, the reveal who

330
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960
is the comedy Survivor. I'll catch up with you guys

331
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,320
in a bit.
