Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily
Speaker 1: Comedy News, a daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians
Speaker 1: and the comedy industry. Boy, it's busy. I thought I'd
Speaker 1: lead off with Strikeforce five today, but nope, the roast
Speaker 1: is still the hot topic. We will get to Strikeforce
Speaker 1: five in a minute. Starting with the roast. There were
Speaker 1: many many stories about jokes that were cut from the
Speaker 1: roast for one reason or another. I will do my
Speaker 1: best to share them with you. Variety caught up with
Speaker 1: writer Madison Sinclair, who was one of the writers hired
Speaker 1: to make jokes for the various actors, musicians, and comics
Speaker 1: who participated in the roast of Kevin Hart. Variety has
Speaker 1: these broken out by topics. Is unclear who hypothetically would
Speaker 1: have said the joke about the subjects, so we'll do
Speaker 1: it by subject. For a subject as Draymond Green, someone
Speaker 1: might have said, Draymond Green is a lot like Megan
Speaker 1: Feet Stallion. They're famous for letting other people shoot, and
Speaker 1: he hasn't been the same since Klay Thompson Laft. Draymond
Speaker 1: is so cute. He has that thing where his mouth
Speaker 1: is always a little open. That's one of the things
Speaker 1: he and Chelsea have in common. That's pretty good. Actually.
Speaker 1: New topic. Lizzo Lizo broke barriers when she danced as
Speaker 1: a stripper and hustlers, mostly because they weren't properly enforced.
Speaker 1: That's funny, funny. New topic Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis only
Speaker 1: lasted two weeks in basic training. The closest he's come
Speaker 1: to becoming a veteran is his views on Asians. Now,
Speaker 1: that's very funny, but it would assume general knowledge on
Speaker 1: the audience as to why that is funny if you
Speaker 1: don't know. Shane Gillis was hired to be on SNL
Speaker 1: and they dusted off some jokes from his podcast, and
Speaker 1: then he was unhired from SNL way back when another
Speaker 1: one not as good. Shane turned down doing the Rion
Speaker 1: Comedy Festival because he has integrity and he can't go
Speaker 1: forty eight hours without a drink. New topic. Tony Inchcliff.
Speaker 1: Tony has the license plate I Roast, which is what
Speaker 1: we all hope for every time he gets behind the wheel. Wow,
Speaker 1: Tony is like Milania. The only thing relevant about him
Speaker 1: is that he opened for Trump once. That's a great joke.
Speaker 1: New topic, Chelsea Handler. You might know Chelsea for being
Speaker 1: on e for over a decade. She also had a
Speaker 1: famous talk show for a while. See that's good, that's
Speaker 1: a nice harmless. That's great, that's a perfect joke. I
Speaker 1: like these. New topic. Kevin Hart. Kevin is one of
Speaker 1: the few comedians without a single allegation. When he found
Speaker 1: out about the me too movement, he was shocked. He
Speaker 1: was like, people are saying no to things. Fantastic joke.
Speaker 1: Did you know that Kevin actually has a nonprofit for
Speaker 1: organ donation called Heartless. That's not true, but doesn't that
Speaker 1: sound like some dumb stuff he would do. If Kevin
Speaker 1: can make a pun with the word heart in it,
Speaker 1: he'll spend millions to develop a crappy business around it. Kevin,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here tonight. I know
Speaker 1: you have such a busy schedule with stand up movies
Speaker 1: sitting on that shelf every Christmas. Kevin, I was so
Speaker 1: disappointed when you did the Rion Comedy Festival because on
Speaker 1: a human rights level, no one should be forced to
Speaker 1: listen to your comedy sober. I love these, Kevin. You
Speaker 1: are so talented, but you are the worst cheater with
Speaker 1: your bild. I assumed you'd be better at sneaking around.
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart is such a sellout, even his sex tape
Speaker 1: at commercial breaks, Kevin Hart is always on the worst
Speaker 1: platforms Quibi Toby, the ones he puts on when he
Speaker 1: argues with his wife. Kevin said he was only joking
Speaker 1: what he said. He would throw a dollhouse at a
Speaker 1: gay child. But we invited Tony Chcliff here tonight just
Speaker 1: to make sure. Kevin, why are always hooking up with
Speaker 1: women in cars? If you wanted to cheat and get
Speaker 1: away with it, you should have gone somewhere desolate and
Speaker 1: no man's land, somewhere no one would ever go by
Speaker 1: any means necessary, like Harthouse on Librea fantastic. Let's give
Speaker 1: a nice plug to Madison Sinclair, who will be at
Speaker 1: the Looney Bin in Tulsa on May fourteenth and May
Speaker 1: sixteenth at the Dallas Comedy Club. Now, a lot of
Speaker 1: people on the internet are upset about some of the
Speaker 1: jokes at the roost. I don't think they understand what
Speaker 1: a roast is. On the Charlie Kirkshow, producer Blake Neff
Speaker 1: weighed in. He said on today's show, we discussed Pete
Speaker 1: Davison's joke about Charlie's death while roasting Tony Inchcliff might take.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it, and I'm glad the audience wasn't
Speaker 1: into it. But there were other jokes we've seen that
Speaker 1: are clearly a lot more hateful and intent than Pete's,
Speaker 1: and a few bad taste jokes about Charlie. At the
Speaker 1: price we have to pay for how iconic he has
Speaker 1: become an American culture TMC. He reports the family and
Speaker 1: friends of George Floyd were upset at the Floyd joke
Speaker 1: that Tony Hinchcliffe made. TMZ says, George's family and friends
Speaker 1: feel like Kevin Hart should have told Tony to stay
Speaker 1: off the topic of nothing else, and they're baffled and
Speaker 1: disgusted by Tony's apparent obsession with telling George Floyd jokes.
Speaker 1: During the Tom Brady roast, Hinchcliff joke that Rob Gronkowski
Speaker 1: looked like the final Boss in George Floyd the video game,
Speaker 1: TMZ says quotes were told. George's family and friends feel
Speaker 1: Tony is a quote racist comedian unquote double unquote, and
Speaker 1: they're wondering how Kevin would feel about these jokes if
Speaker 1: one of his friends died instead of George. Cheryl Underwood
Speaker 1: was on TMZ Live. She defended the Rock's use of
Speaker 1: the R word, arguing that Rose comedy has its own rules.
Speaker 1: She said the context brought the room together, especially given
Speaker 1: past discourse about the Rock's identity. She emphasized that political
Speaker 1: correctness doesn't always fit in with comedy, noting roasts or
Speaker 1: spaces to tackle uncomfortable issues with humor. More about the
Speaker 1: roast tomorrow. All right, the Strike Force five guys. They
Speaker 1: are Sai Myers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, and
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. They were all on The Late Show with
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. Steven said Late Night is in a bit
Speaker 1: of a weird spot right now spoiler alert, and people
Speaker 1: are questioning its future. He then asked the other host
Speaker 1: to make a case for Late Night. Jimmy Kimmel said,
Speaker 1: I would say, I look at the figures and the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is more people are watching late
Speaker 1: night television now then, and I know everybody gets crazy
Speaker 1: than when Johnny Carson was on. Obviously, Johnny Carson had
Speaker 1: a lot of people watching one show, but we have
Speaker 1: a lot of shows with thirty thousand people watching each one.
Speaker 1: It adds up. People watch us on YouTube now, and
Speaker 1: people have a lot of different opinions, and yet they
Speaker 1: still keep coming to us. Kimmel and John Oliver then
Speaker 1: asked why would that question even be asked. Kim Will asked, Colbert,
Speaker 1: like Ryan Seacrest doesn't get asked about the Wheel of
Speaker 1: Fortune or whatever the hell he's hosting. Oliver agreed and
Speaker 1: said I would actually like to hear Ryan SeaQuest defend
Speaker 1: Wheel of Fortune. If someone's next to me saying defend
Speaker 1: Wheel of Fortune's right to exist, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: leaning forward waiting for what he says. Jimmy Fallon waited
Speaker 1: in and said Late Night is one of those things
Speaker 1: that's been around our whole lives where it kind of
Speaker 1: is just part of our lives. I never thought it
Speaker 1: was a job when I was growing up. I just
Speaker 1: thought Johnny Carson came with the television set. People want
Speaker 1: to go to sleep, having a good laugh and go
Speaker 1: to bed happy. Kim Will jumped on that and said,
Speaker 1: but not before Seth Fellon agreed, wake back up for
Speaker 1: Seth's show. Then Seth Myers said, if I were making
Speaker 1: my case for Late Night, it would be that the
Speaker 1: leaders of the free world are watching it when it
Speaker 1: airs with all the hosts there, Colbert joke John Stewart
Speaker 1: is the designated survivor tonight someone asked to survive for
Speaker 1: the President to be mad at great joke, Colbert said,
Speaker 1: would it be great if John had to do all
Speaker 1: our eulogies? Some other jokes. Kim Will said, I figured
Speaker 1: out why you lost forty million dollars, Steve, and there's
Speaker 1: too many in your band. Colbert wondered if he would
Speaker 1: get kicked out of the Strike Force five if he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a show. Seth Meyer said, you're out. It's
Speaker 1: Strikeforce four. It breaks our heart, but it's like jerrymandering.
Speaker 1: Nobody likes it. But once the court's rule. Kim Old
Speaker 1: tagged that with don't worry, give me a few months
Speaker 1: and it'll be Strikeforce three. Kim Old talked about when
Speaker 1: he had his own troubles and said, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: when I got knocked off the air for a few days,
Speaker 1: people canceled Disney Plus. He then turned to the audience
Speaker 1: and said, why are are you people canceling Paramount Plus?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Because you didn't have it in the first place. John
Speaker 1: Oliver stood up for his potential new bosses and said, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: until a deal goes through, I could just do a
Speaker 1: counter to that. Paramount Plus might have some good programming,
Speaker 1: unless it doesn't go through, in which case you can
Speaker 1: go f itself. There will be a new podcast episode
Speaker 1: of Strike Force five out today. I had to put
Speaker 1: the feedback on my phone. I had cleared that out.
Speaker 1: Episode thirteen will benefit Chef jose Andre's World Central Kitchen,
Speaker 1: a nonprofit that provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate
Speaker 1: and community crisises around the world. On Late Nighter dot Com,
Speaker 1: Bill Carter wrote, the affection among this group was on
Speaker 1: utterly convincing display Monday Night. The group long ago shattered
Speaker 1: the old Late Night President that competition had to resemble
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. The banter was funny and charming, but
Speaker 1: a little concern about the future was always haunting the conversation,
Speaker 1: Bill Carter writes, And as these five talented men traded
Speaker 1: drives in stories like old college friends, drawing laughs from
Speaker 1: the audience and from one another, it only underscored how separate,
Speaker 1: sadly separate, Trump and his entourage are from some of
Speaker 1: the best time people can have watching television. Late night
Speaker 1: shows are entertaining. They always have been, They still are
Speaker 1: unless you literally can't take a joke. Send your letters
Speaker 1: to Bill Carter.
Speaker 2: Gossip Connor whispers in the street gossip con probably buppy
Speaker 2: gossip conn Aware the rumors meet with Johnny Mackett's always
Speaker 2: a tree. Gossip Connor whispers this tree, gossip Corn probably
Speaker 2: gossip Cone. Where the rooms me with Johnny mactowy a tree?
Speaker 1: Real question? Do you ever find yourself singing that? I
Speaker 1: find myself walking around the house with that stuck in
Speaker 1: my head. It is super catchy. On Gossip Corner? Is
Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood mad at Nicki Glazer? People think there was
Speaker 1: tension on the set of American Idol when Nicki Glazer
Speaker 1: recently showed up. One person on social media said, Carrie,
Speaker 1: no matter how talns it, ever since I saw her
Speaker 1: on American Idol, I picked up a really cold vibe.
Speaker 1: Another person said the tension between Carrie and Nicki is
Speaker 1: killing me. Mary Underwood said there is no beef between
Speaker 1: the pair. She says, I think Nikki did such a
Speaker 1: great job because it's not an easy thing to come
Speaker 1: sit behind that desk and try to think of constructive
Speaker 1: things to say. And I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: she did everything wonderfully. But no, there's no beef. I
Speaker 1: have no beef. Johnny Mack, you never mentioned Kevin Hart.
Speaker 1: I know Kevin Hart. This is going to shock you, guys.
Speaker 1: He's got another gig. He's making yet another movie. Famous
Speaker 1: director Mick Gee has teamed up with Kevin Hart for
Speaker 1: a high concept action comedy. This will be for Netflix.
Speaker 1: In untitled project, two rival spies cross paths at a
Speaker 1: lama's class as their wives become friends. With their double
Speaker 1: lives colliding in unexpectedly hilarious and dangerous ways, the two
Speaker 1: men are forced to reluctantly become confidants and partners on
Speaker 1: the roads of fatherhood. Are you looking forward to untitled movie? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: there's also a we'll talk about this later in the week,
Speaker 1: another Kevin Hart Netflix movie, and that also stars Marcelo Hernandez,
