Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Jennie Mack with your daily
Speaker 1: comedy news. A daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians
Speaker 1: in the comedy industry. A sentence that the transcription algorithm
Speaker 1: seems to really like. Kat Williams has a new special
Speaker 1: on Netflix. You know Netflix, can we not do this
Speaker 1: on Tuesday? I feel like Tuesday's just, for some reason,
Speaker 1: the worst night to watch comedy specials. You think i'd
Speaker 1: be home, but I was watching The Knicks last night,
Speaker 1: so I didn't get to this yet. But on Big
Speaker 1: Boy TV, he said, let me explain something to you.
Speaker 1: I'm not scared to say nothing. I'll say it. He
Speaker 1: was talking about his appearance in twenty twenty four in
Speaker 1: the Club Shayshe podcast. You may remember that Cat Took
Speaker 1: No Prisoners. He said that that appearance was carefully planned,
Speaker 1: designed to provoke a reaction without fully detonating careers. Kat
Speaker 1: explains the knockout punches were taken out. Kat was asked
Speaker 1: about p Diddy parties. Kat said, people, indeed, do you ask,
Speaker 1: how do you know goes on at the PDDY party?
Speaker 1: If you weren't at the pddy party, they would have
Speaker 1: these parties in Hollywood Hills, and they'd have a parking
Speaker 1: lot where they would shuttle people up, so everybody would
Speaker 1: meet in this parking lot. They would send shuttles down.
Speaker 1: I was never invited to the parties, but I was
Speaker 1: invited to the parking lot because I knew the people
Speaker 1: who were on the shuttle service. I'd go to the
Speaker 1: parking lot. I'd watch them all go up there, and
Speaker 1: I would just be on the car having a grand
Speaker 1: old time, smoking and laughing, watching everybody going. I would
Speaker 1: see all these big time Hollywood men that I just
Speaker 1: watched go up there. They all came down off the shuttle,
Speaker 1: looking sad in their eyes, all of them wearing Sean
Speaker 1: John and looking oily. Their shoelaces were always untied. Then
Speaker 1: they're getting their car and they would drive off standing up. Okay.
Speaker 1: Then Bob Saggitt getting a documentary. The Bob Sackett Documentary
Speaker 1: explores the duality of a man known to millions as
Speaker 1: America's Dad on TV while simultaneously being a raw and
Speaker 1: unfiltered stand up comic on stage, built from intimate access
Speaker 1: to family and fellow comics, Rare home videos and ever
Speaker 1: before seen footage The Bob Sacket documentary will reveal the
Speaker 1: complex life, devastating losses, and enduring kindness behind the laughter.
Speaker 1: No date yet. Wow, Saggot is going on four years already.
Speaker 1: That is stunning to me. I feel like that news
Speaker 1: just happened not too long ago. I met Bob once.
Speaker 1: He was super cool. He came up to visit us,
Speaker 1: and it's serious, and he needed to make a phone
Speaker 1: call and I let him use my office. So I
Speaker 1: have just this wonderful memory of me, you know, killing
Speaker 1: time in the hallway talking to some coworkers about the
Speaker 1: Mets and seeing Bob Saggett sitting at my desk using
Speaker 1: my phone. Cool guy Bill Maher is upset that his
Speaker 1: relationship with Jimmy Kimmel has gone sideways. You may recall
Speaker 1: that Bill Maher slammed Missus Kimmel. Missus Kimmel had revealed
Speaker 1: that she had lost family relationships over their politics. On
Speaker 1: the Club Random podcast, Bill Maher said, Kimmel is quote
Speaker 1: very mad at me. Mar said to his guest Adam Carolla,
Speaker 1: I know you're close to him. I hope you tell
Speaker 1: him that you know. I'm sorry that they got bent
Speaker 1: out of shape. I don't think I did anything wrong.
Speaker 1: Weekend of Disagreements, Moore insisted it's Kimmel who was in
Speaker 1: the wrong. According to mar my tribe is supposed to
Speaker 1: be the left, but these are the people who just
Speaker 1: can't talk to you unless you're exactly there. Jimmy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the nice guys that
Speaker 1: did a meacopo when we exchanged emails. Not about what
Speaker 1: who's complaining about. We're just saying sometimes a little brash
Speaker 1: when they compare me with the other late night guys.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not like you guys. I'm not You
Speaker 1: could all exchange your monologues, all of you and no
Speaker 1: one would know the difference in tune, whereas me, I'm
Speaker 1: not there. I just don't buy into the left wing bs.
Speaker 1: I never stopped making fun of the right wing bs
Speaker 1: at all. If that's not good enough for you, then
Speaker 1: I think you're the a hole. And I don't think
Speaker 1: Jimmy's an a hole. I think he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: And it bugs me that because of what the latest
Speaker 1: thing was. You know, we may never talk Chris Fleming
Speaker 1: getting an HBO Max special, so I think this is
Speaker 1: a Max special I've talked about this in the past, HBO,
Speaker 1: that you've totally confused your brand, which Netflix is going
Speaker 1: to do with these quote unquote podcasts. By the way,
Speaker 1: you've totally confused your brand. So to me, Living on
Speaker 1: Old Man Mountain, Something on Saturday is an HBO special.
Speaker 1: Something on Friday is a Max special. Chris Fleming, who
Speaker 1: I love, is getting a Friday special. It is called
Speaker 1: Chris Fleming Live at the Palace. It will premiere ten
Speaker 1: pm East and West Friday, twenty seventh. Live at the
Speaker 1: Palace was filmed where everybody say with me, the Palace Theater,
Speaker 1: That's right, the one in Chicago. We're sold. Chris Fleming
Speaker 1: bounds across the stage, sharing his takes on masculinity, conga lines,
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's oreos, NPR, dog Breeds and more. Now I'm
Speaker 1: fascinated with the timing. So is the Friday night slot
Speaker 1: when you get Chris Fleming and Sarah Sherman and the
Speaker 1: quirky stuff, which is fine because that would be a brand.
Speaker 1: I would be totally down with Friday's at ten being
Speaker 1: the quirky stuff. Don't go throwing Nate Perghetzi on Friday
Speaker 1: Night at ten. He's Saturday Night at ten. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, Chris Fleming said, I hereby decree,
Speaker 1: my first HBO special will soon be available for you
Speaker 1: to consume. Please enjoy, and feel free to dance along.
Speaker 1: Thank you and thank you HBO to exclamation points. Nina
Speaker 1: Rosenstein is HBO's EVP programming Late Night and specials and
Speaker 1: pr people loved difficult from the executives, So Nina or
Speaker 1: someone in Nina's name came up with this sentence. Chris
Speaker 1: brings it full force to this special. Once you've seen him,
Speaker 1: nothing else quite compares. His jokes are exquisitely precise, and
Speaker 1: his physical comedy is so borderline acrobatic that you discover
Speaker 1: something new to laugh at every time, whether it's a
Speaker 1: perfect compression of a crab walk or an intricate joke
Speaker 1: about Tillamook cheese. His work is a masterclass in and
Speaker 1: of itself. I wonder how long they worked on that quote.
Speaker 1: In The Atlantic, David Simms writes, Pete Davidson's charm is
Speaker 1: working against him. David Simms got into one of my
Speaker 1: favorite current topics, which is the Pete Davison Show, which
Speaker 1: say with me is clearly not a podcast, Simms writes.
Speaker 1: The first question to confront when considering The Pete Davison Show,
Speaker 1: a new Netflix series that the streamer is calling a
Speaker 1: video podcast, is what is a podcast? Sims says, I
Speaker 1: would argue that podcast should always involve a dedicated feed
Speaker 1: you can listen to on your phone. The Pete Davison
Speaker 1: Show does not have that. A cynic might wonder if
Speaker 1: branding the Pete Davidson's Show a podcast is just a
Speaker 1: way for the streaming empire to avoid paying for the
Speaker 1: kind of unionized cruise and production staff at talk show demands. Anyway,
Speaker 1: once we get over that, let's review the show. David
Speaker 1: Sims says of Pete Davidson as a host, He's casual
Speaker 1: to a fault. He's prone to slouching in his chair,
Speaker 1: ripping a thousand of cigarettes, and reminiscing about various awkward
Speaker 1: interactions he and his guests have had at parties over
Speaker 1: the years. David's inexperience becomes obvious when seated across someone
Speaker 1: much better versed in the medium. Episode two features Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the God, a season radio personality whose comfort and facility
Speaker 1: with the format forces Davidson to keep up. Sims writes,
Speaker 1: maybe Davidson can grown to the gig. Very few hit
Speaker 1: podcasts emerge from the gate fully formed. But the Pete
Speaker 1: Davidson Show, which I'll point out, is not a podcast.
Speaker 1: It's a television show on Netflix. I'll let the union
Speaker 1: fight their own battles, but it is not a podcast.
Speaker 1: Sims rights, the Pete Davidson Show is a particularly rough
Speaker 1: lump of clay. The garage setting riffs on Maren's format,
Speaker 1: but the space is devoid of any notable physical objects
Speaker 1: for guest to bounce off. Nothing like Maren's frequently remarked
Speaker 1: upon Chachke's or guitars, Davidson's Chat with Kelly has no structure,
Speaker 1: no segments, and no particular gimmick. I've been there. That's
Speaker 1: some executive telling Pete Davidson you could do whatever you
Speaker 1: want me. I've been down this a zillion times about ah.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't need a format, we just talk
Speaker 1: about it. You have to put a format on things
Speaker 1: or you just have a mess. I'm telling you, I've
Speaker 1: been doing this for thirty plus years. You have to
Speaker 1: have a format. This show has a format. Have you
Speaker 1: noticed I do the big stuff up front, take a break,
Speaker 1: and then I do esoteric stuff. That's a format. You
Speaker 1: just need a format. I don't open up the show
Speaker 1: going Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: The Topeka, Kansas Comedy Festival feature seven people you've never
Speaker 1: heard of. I don't do it that way. There's an
Speaker 1: order to things. You have to have a format. Sims
Speaker 1: seems to agree. Writing some sense of organization can help
Speaker 1: shape an otherwise unformed snippet of conversation. And I like
Speaker 1: this last sentence from David Sims, who writes, perhaps Netflix
Speaker 1: is video only podcast experiment. David, it's not a podcast,
Speaker 1: it's a television show. Let me clean it up for you.
Speaker 1: Let me make an edit on David Simms what the
Speaker 1: sentence should say. Or perhaps Netflix is TV show experiment
Speaker 1: will go the way of many other such clones in
Speaker 1: this medium, which never took on board the lesson that
Speaker 1: podcasts require more than two microphones and a garage to
Speaker 1: actually be interesting. You can actually do it with one
Speaker 1: micro phone in a basement. I'm opening up the Netflix
Speaker 1: app and I'll see if the Pete Davidson television show
Speaker 1: is trending now they keep changing the interface. Here, I've
Speaker 1: clicked on new and Hot. They want me to watch
Speaker 1: Gordon Ramsay and Mission Impossible and Ironclaw something about dinosaurs. Well,
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to be chirts. We are shirts in Netflix.
Speaker 1: They used to just have a big top ten there,
Speaker 1: So here we go. Top ten shows in the US today.
Speaker 1: This is twelve forty five pm on Tuesday, Wrestling, Lincoln Lawyer,
Speaker 1: Bridgerton unfamiliar, Jeffrey Epsteins something his and Hers which I
Speaker 1: liked at the beginning, and they got terrible. Is it cake?
Speaker 1: You people need to get a life alone, Free Bert
Speaker 1: doing well at number nine and The Way Home. None
Speaker 1: of that is the Pete Davidson television show. Interesting. I'm
Speaker 1: a bad host. Yesterday I did this wonderful rant about
Speaker 1: Mulaney versus Jen Marco, and I forgot to thank a listener.
Speaker 1: No listener said, you can just say listener. But the
Speaker 1: listener sent this to me or I wouldn't have caught it.
Speaker 1: So thank you listener for putting that. I still want
Speaker 1: to get a posse up, but I don't hear it
Speaker 1: at all. In case you missed it, seems mister b
Speaker 1: Bigli and mister Mullaney are not quite accusing John Marco
Speaker 1: Siresi of ripping off the act. They didn't say who
Speaker 1: they think is ripping off Mullaney, but people seem to
Speaker 1: think they're implying that it's John Marco. I don't hear
Speaker 1: it at all. Comedy Survivor join us in the Facebook
Speaker 1: group Daily Comedy News Podcast group. I was checking out
Speaker 1: the voting earlier today and there's a lot of like
Speaker 1: single votes all across the board. I don't know who's
Speaker 1: going this week. Some people are hanging back until end
Speaker 1: of day Thursday to get their votes in late and
Speaker 1: see if a little late rush can eliminate someone. No
Speaker 1: idea who's going. Late night waged in. On the super
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show, Greg Gutfeld telled this joke. President Trump
Speaker 1: posted that bad Bunny had one of the worst halftimes ever.
Speaker 1: I disagree. The worst ever was the four years of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in between Trump now now Gutfeld. Obviously I
Speaker 1: didn't tell that one well at all, because that did
Speaker 1: you hear those words? That is a hilarious joke. The
Speaker 1: worst halftime ever was the four years of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: in between Trump. Hilarious? I mean Gottfeld told it properly,
Speaker 1: got a huge laugh. I just didn't tell it well,
Speaker 1: but boy, that that is just a well crafted, not
Speaker 1: at all hacky joke from Greg Guttfeld. Eddie Murphy, we'll
Speaker 1: team up with Evangoria in a new comedy movie being
Speaker 1: made by Amazon MGM. It is called Attachment Parenting. We're
Speaker 1: told attachment Parenting has a vibe that throws back to
Speaker 1: another era of studio comedies. The project tells of a
Speaker 1: psychologist couple whose parenting philosophies put to the ultimate test
Speaker 1: when they're forced to counsel the crime boss's dysfunctional family
Speaker 1: while being held hostage at a hotel. Okay, Kevin Hart
Speaker 1: he likes to be in business with stuff. He has
Speaker 1: invested in Burn Bootcamp. The owners of Burn Bootcamp met
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart through mutual connections. CEO Morgan Klein said, we
Speaker 1: could just since there was a lot of shared values
Speaker 1: amongst one another. It was very clear that he didn't
Speaker 1: want to be as person and that's not what we
Speaker 1: were seeking. He wanted ownership. Kevin has made a financial
Speaker 1: investment in Burn boot Camp and will own a franchise
Speaker 1: in California. Kevin in a YouTube video apparently said Burn
Speaker 1: stands for what I believe in, structure, accountability, and results.
Speaker 1: My kids don't listen to what I say, but they
Speaker 1: watch what I do, and I want them to see discipline,
Speaker 1: commitment and strength. Tops Baseball Cards have come out with
Speaker 1: a Jerry Seinfeld Mets card. It's Jerry Seinfeld wearing a
Speaker 1: Mets jersey and an off brand Mets hat and he's
Speaker 1: on the phone, presumably calling the bullpen. It's autographed. Tops
Speaker 1: said it was the biggest signing of the off season.
Speaker 1: Collectors can buy a whole bunch of packs and hope
Speaker 1: one of the packs has an autograph card of Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: And The Traverse City Comedy Festival has announced their lineup.
Speaker 1: The festival is April sixteenth through the eighteenth. It's their
Speaker 1: fourth annual event. Headliners Megan Statler, Sarah Sherman, Roywood Junior,
Speaker 1: Gary Goleman, and Jodovito. Nice lineup, gang. It will be
Speaker 1: comedians representing three thirty three states and Canada, which if
Speaker 1: the President will get things done and let's get going
Speaker 1: on this, I'll be able to just say representing thirty
Speaker 1: four states, right, I'm skimming the names here. The headliners
Speaker 1: are pretty good. The other folks, I'm not sure any
Speaker 1: of these names you would know unless you're really, really
Speaker 1: a comedy snob. The festival will feature multiple improv and
Speaker 1: specialty programs. Show titles include Kamikazi Comedy, Big Fun, Murder,
Speaker 1: Planet Ant, and that thing you pull when you want
Speaker 1: it to stop. It's also a roast Battle and a
Speaker 1: Comedy Rumble. What's a comedy rumble, John, you're the one
Speaker 1: who hosts the show. I know. Let's see. Here's a
Speaker 1: comedy rumble that gives eight comedians the chance to battle
Speaker 1: for progressively longer stage time across three intense rounds. Wait,
Speaker 1: this is fun. It sounds like a good time. And
Speaker 1: that's your comedy news for today and catch it tomorrow.
