Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. This Chris Rock thing is getting weirder
Speaker 1: and weirder. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: A source tales people that the reports that Chris Rock
Speaker 1: stormed off and off those are untrue. The reason he
Speaker 1: left is because children were in the audience. An onlooker
Speaker 1: tells people he didn't storm off. He did stop performing,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't angry. He simply put the mic down
Speaker 1: and walked away. But then the story goes on to
Speaker 1: say that the reason he left was people were filming him,
Speaker 1: which was the original story. So I don't know why
Speaker 1: people is saying anything about children in the audience. And
Speaker 1: the reason given for not wanting anyone to film is
Speaker 1: that he was working out material. And I'll go back
Speaker 1: to what I said yesterday. If I'm paying you to
Speaker 1: come all the way to Australia and I'm a billionaire,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to work out with Cereal. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. A lot of the country
Speaker 1: is fascinated with Luigi Mangione, accused of shooting United Healthcare
Speaker 1: CEO Brian Thompson. Taylor Thomas on her show admitted that
Speaker 1: like a lot of people she found the guy physically attractive.
Speaker 1: She said, one picture can be deceiving. I've been on
Speaker 1: dating apps for a long time. I'm gonna need to
Speaker 1: see four to six more photos. Okay, anyone can take
Speaker 1: one sexy, blurry candid right before they commit a murder.
Speaker 1: Everyone has one of those. That's funny, she continues. It
Speaker 1: turns out he actually got caught because an employee recognized
Speaker 1: him and phone the police. Do you have any idea
Speaker 1: how attractive you have to be for a McDonald's employee
Speaker 1: to be like, wait, okay, you being in here is suspicious.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised anyone turned this guy in considering all the
Speaker 1: thirsting after him online. I mean, every post about this
Speaker 1: guy's just straight up calls him sexy. Maybe this was
Speaker 1: his undoing. I mean, if everyone on the internet was
Speaker 1: talking about how hot I am, I'd also be lingering
Speaker 1: in public spaces. That might be the kedy catching criminals.
Speaker 1: Let's pretend we think they're all super hot, and maybe
Speaker 1: they'll just turn themselves in. Michael Costa said it's surprising
Speaker 1: that he comes from such a privileged background. He's not
Speaker 1: really the kind of guy you'd expect to become a murderer.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd expect him to crash the housing market,
Speaker 1: but not kill a guy. Stephen Colbert went, silly, you
Speaker 1: know what they say, snitches get filet o fishes. Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan commented on this and said, I don't think the
Speaker 1: guy was a professional. I think this guy if I
Speaker 1: had a guest with some guy who got e ft over,
Speaker 1: apparently that company's really bad at the nine claims his guest,
Speaker 1: a film producer, Roger Avery, said I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: is going to be crying too hard over this. Rogan said,
Speaker 1: maybe his family. That's about it. It's a dirty, dirty business.
Speaker 1: The business of insurance is effing gross. It's gross, especially
Speaker 1: healthcare insurance. It's effing gross. All right. We not only
Speaker 1: have to get Nicki Glazer's publicist to raise we have
Speaker 1: to get Nicki Glazer's publicist too raises. There's clearly a
Speaker 1: campaign going on right now. We've already seen two news
Speaker 1: organizations named Nicki Glazer Comedian of the Year. I've spoken
Speaker 1: my peace on that. If you miss that, the short
Speaker 1: version is it's not ridiculous, but it's not the right
Speaker 1: call either. Tomorrow I'll tell you about a big wax
Speaker 1: job of her car in Rolling Stone. Today it's the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter. NICKI was at the Hollywood Reporter's annual Women
Speaker 1: in Entertainment gala and said, when I was told I'd
Speaker 1: been chosen as one of the power one hundred women
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, I was so incredibly honored. And then I said,
Speaker 1: which number am I? And they said it didn't work
Speaker 1: that way. You're all equal. And I said, okay, if
Speaker 1: that's the case, then can I sit it Nicole Kidman's table?
Speaker 1: And that's when the correspondence ended a breakfast gallop for
Speaker 1: women in Hollywood. We don't even eat that meal. That's funny,
Speaker 1: but truly, what better ton honor women than at eight am,
Speaker 1: before the industry is awake and that coveted post Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: pre Christmas Hollywood dead zone. We are women in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: You're a roar, but not too loudly because the hotel
Speaker 1: is a quiet policy enforced until nine am. Also very funny.
Speaker 1: I love being in full glam at the crack of dawn.
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do the rest of the
Speaker 1: day looking like this? Usually women who look this done
Speaker 1: up at seven am aren't entering the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Speaker 1: They're leaving with a lot of cash and a fun
Speaker 1: story about Charlie Sheen. This is really strong material. This
Speaker 1: very speech I'm giving right now might have been twenty
Speaker 1: percent better had I not had to prepare my body
Speaker 1: to even stand up before you and give it. It's
Speaker 1: hard to write a speech on the same day. You
Speaker 1: have to get a spray's hand to a fitting, get
Speaker 1: your nails done, a bleacher ooh read edge Jhonny a
Speaker 1: thing you might bleach not going there that she tagged
Speaker 1: it with. I guess I didn't need to do that
Speaker 1: last one. We almost had a train wreck here on
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News, so I got to preread these stories.
Speaker 1: Next on a Little Hackey, Oh, Colin Farrell so dedicated
Speaker 1: to his craft that he spends three hours on the
Speaker 1: makeup chair to transform into the penguin. That's how long
Speaker 1: it takes me every day to make sure I don't
Speaker 1: look like the penguin. Rob Schneider has plans to launch
Speaker 1: a show to compete against the view. Rob has a
Speaker 1: book called You Can Do It, and he was on
Speaker 1: Fox News and disclosed that his company, no apologies media,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do an all ladies talk show, and it
Speaker 1: won't be like the View. It'll be the opposite, because
Speaker 1: it'll be entertaining. It'll be funny. We're gonna have funny
Speaker 1: women on it that'll tell jokes and have funny stories
Speaker 1: and health and wellness. Schneider describes the View as interesting
Speaker 1: as a hunter Biden painting made of his own feces hilarious,
Speaker 1: and said his show will focus on making people laugh
Speaker 1: rather than shaming them for their politics. People are sick
Speaker 1: of it. We're going to have an entertaining show with
Speaker 1: people from all over America. We're not just trying to
Speaker 1: bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their
Speaker 1: political echo chamber. Then he was on Twitter and said,
Speaker 1: we will be a show that will not be a
Speaker 1: narrow view or what you've had to indoor all these years.
Speaker 1: A single view that scolds into me means those that
Speaker 1: have a different view. This will be a show for
Speaker 1: while caps all of us two exclamation points. Netflix announced
Speaker 1: two more specials Gabe, but Fluffy Iglesias will get one.
Speaker 1: It's called Legend of Fluffy. Hey, Gabe, love you. You've
Speaker 1: kind of you're fallen into the Gaffigan zone. Where Gaffigan called,
Speaker 1: like nine specials in a row pail something, tap the
Speaker 1: brakes on the Fluffy. Just do something else for a change.
Speaker 1: All right, I guess this one's already anounced. Next one,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna put Fluffy in the title. Okay, Gabe,
Speaker 1: love you worked with you on the Comedy Central, Lost
Speaker 1: or a Good Guy. Everybody likes you. But enough with
Speaker 1: the Fluffy. Legend of Fluffy will premiere January seventh. Lisa Trigger,
Speaker 1: We'll have her special night Owl on Netflix January twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: Lisa Special touches on her friends who are parents, hating
Speaker 1: other people's husbands, and lying to herself about how high
Speaker 1: she really is. I got a lot done the other night.
Speaker 1: First of all, the Indiana Jones video game is the
Speaker 1: pinnacle of human civilization. This is it. We have topped out.
Speaker 1: There will be no greater art, there will be no
Speaker 1: greater entertainment. It's all downhill for humanity from this peak
Speaker 1: of the Indiana Jones video game. So I played that
Speaker 1: for two hours, and then after a while my eye's hurt.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'll watch some TV, and I put
Speaker 1: on Jamie Fox's special. I almost bailed about seven minutes in.
Speaker 1: Then he went into an amazing Cat Williams impression. Jamie
Speaker 1: can do voices really well. The cat stuff kept me around.
Speaker 1: Then there was a next part. Now go back and
Speaker 1: watch it. He goes into a little bit of a preachy, soulful,
Speaker 1: thoughtful part. But notice that the cameras zoomed in and
Speaker 1: what caught my ear? And you know, I do this
Speaker 1: for a living. The room's dead. I suspect possibly perhaps
Speaker 1: maybe that's an insert that was filmed in an empty theater.
Speaker 1: I don't think the audience was there for that part.
Speaker 1: I feel like that was filmed separately and cut into
Speaker 1: the main special. Why do you say that, John, the
Speaker 1: room is too dead? A lot of times, what you'll
Speaker 1: do in recording is you will record what's called room tone,
Speaker 1: and then if you have to do any sort of production,
Speaker 1: you have the natural sound of what a room sounds like,
Speaker 1: and you can lay it under whatever you're doing. Also,
Speaker 1: you know we've all been to shows. If he went
Speaker 1: into a big soulful thing like that, somebody would he
Speaker 1: alled out, go Jamie, or we love you or woo
Speaker 1: or something. There would have been some noise. It's too quiet.
Speaker 1: I also and I feel like a jerk saying this,
Speaker 1: but I also think there was a performance there when
Speaker 1: Jamie went into the part of, you know, please Lord,
Speaker 1: let me get through this. I'll remind you he's an
Speaker 1: Academy Award winning actor. Then I started skimming through it.
Speaker 1: I came away thinking I need more comedy in my
Speaker 1: comedy for what he set out to do. I think
Speaker 1: it's a very very good version of what he set
Speaker 1: out to do in terms of, hey, is this a
Speaker 1: comedy special I want to spend an hour with It wasn't,
Speaker 1: so I moved on. It will not make my end
Speaker 1: of the year list, but I think it was a
Speaker 1: good version of what he set out to do. I
Speaker 1: switched over to Fortune Fimester last than about a half
Speaker 1: an hour. It's fine, you know, if you're not a
Speaker 1: comedy snob, it's perfectly fine hour. Nothing wrong with it,
Speaker 1: nothing bad to say about It's funny enough. But just
Speaker 1: you know, I'd played two hours of video game and
Speaker 1: already watched Jamie, and I was like, all right on
Speaker 1: this one, I gotta feel for what this one is.
Speaker 1: And then I watched Matthew Brisard's which was the best
Speaker 1: of the three. That one's on YouTube. Excellent writing there,
Speaker 1: funny jokes, couple actual laughs out of me. So that's
Speaker 1: my favorite of the three. That said, it also won't
Speaker 1: make my end of the year list, not that it's bad,
Speaker 1: but you know, I can't put everything on the list,
Speaker 1: So that's my favorite of three. Watch Brisard this next
Speaker 1: story I saw, I just want to tell you in advance.
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand the version I saw. You'll get
Speaker 1: this in a second, so I ran it through AI
Speaker 1: and asked the AI, can you just summarize this and
Speaker 1: rewrite this for an American audience and convert the currency
Speaker 1: because I'm getting a little confused here. So hopefully the
Speaker 1: AI has it accurate. The original sources from the India Times.
Speaker 1: So it caught my attention. Comedian Sneil Powell's alleged kidnapping
Speaker 1: has taken a controversial turn. A leaked to audio clips
Speaker 1: suggests that the nine thousand dollars ransom incident may have
Speaker 1: been staged for publicity, although the comedian denies the accusation.
Speaker 1: He had filed a police report Mumbai claiming that he
Speaker 1: was abducted and held for twenty four hours before paying
Speaker 1: the ransom. In the audio clip, which again the AI
Speaker 1: is telling me is reportedly edited and manipulated. A voice
Speaker 1: identified as one of the kidnappers accuses Pal of orchestrating
Speaker 1: the situation and filing a police complain. Afterward. Power responds
Speaker 1: claiming the police contacted his wife, not him, and insists
Speaker 1: the recording was taken out of context under duress. Police
Speaker 1: report that two suspects are on the run, with CCTV
Speaker 1: footage allegedly showing them purchasing gold jewelry with the ransom money.
Speaker 1: Six individuals have been detained for questioning. Powell claims he
Speaker 1: was lured to me Roots under the pretense of performing
Speaker 1: at a comedy show and was abducted by five men
Speaker 1: who initially demanded twenty four thousand dollars before settling for
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars. He says the kidnappers even gave him
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty dollars for travel back to Mumbai,
Speaker 1: promising to repay the ransom once they found work. Just
Speaker 1: a weird story, all right, Michelle Buttio, She's got a
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve special, But tonight she's hosting the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four Billboard Music Wards eight o'clock on Fox, and
Speaker 1: Last week's Saturday Night Live, which was pretty good. I thought.
Speaker 1: Paul Meskal hosted it. Late Night Er says it drew
Speaker 1: the show's lowest number of viewers, in this case three
Speaker 1: point eight million since November of twenty twenty three. The
Speaker 1: November twenty twenty three episode was Timothy Shallomey with musical
Speaker 1: guest boy Genius. That's pretty good. In the eighteen to
Speaker 1: forty nine demo, only seven hundred and thirty nine thousand viewers,
Speaker 1: also a new low for the show. In the demo,
Speaker 1: this season has been pretty terrible, and last season was
Speaker 1: I don't know it was last season worse. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: season's better than last season. Last season was pretty bad
Speaker 1: Late Night. It reminds us it's not unusual for Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live to see a seasonal decline in viewership in
Speaker 1: mid November to early December. Historically, this is where the
Speaker 1: show bottoms out every season. And that is your comedy
Speaker 1: news for today. You hear my voice going again? This
Speaker 1: is like two and a half weeks now. Whatever the
Speaker 1: hell I caught? I just yeah, you hear that fuzz?
Speaker 1: All right? See tomorrow
