Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle says he's invigorated. He said that at the
Speaker 2: NAACP Awards on Saturday night, where he was given the
Speaker 2: President's Award. Dave said, I won a lot of awards recently,
Speaker 2: but this one tonight is probably the most special award
Speaker 2: I've ever gotten.
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister President, for this's hona. Uh. You know, look,
Speaker 1: I won a lot of awards recently, but this one
Speaker 1: tonight is probably the most special award I've ever gotten
Speaker 1: because it's from this institution that represents these people, US
Speaker 1: people of color, black people. My god brother is here tonight,
Speaker 1: Ben Jealous. Ben used to be the president of the NAACP,
Speaker 1: and I asked him, I said, what do you think?
Speaker 1: What do you think I should say tonight? And Ben
Speaker 1: sent me a whole speech. But tonight, man, tonight, I
Speaker 1: feel invigorated because all my Netflix checks cleared. I don't
Speaker 1: know anybody any work right now. Every time you see me,
Speaker 1: just know I'm only up there because I want to
Speaker 1: be right up there.
Speaker 2: Dave said, I hope all of us who work in
Speaker 2: this industry feel strong and inspired and not discouraged, especially
Speaker 2: because this is a very difficult time right now.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of work to do. But it
Speaker 1: feels good to know that we're not in it alone,
Speaker 1: that we got each other and remember, community is everything.
Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody who lost their home or was
Speaker 1: displaced from their home, even for a time. Everybody, Look,
Speaker 1: don't ever be afraid to lean on each other. My
Speaker 1: father told me a phrase that got me all the
Speaker 1: way to where I am today. He said, whenever you
Speaker 1: mess up, well you feel like you can't get up.
Speaker 1: He said, you remember these words because they are magic words.
Speaker 1: And I said, what's the words? Day?
Speaker 2: And he seeing whoops, good stuff from Dave. There on
Speaker 2: Gossip Corner, TMZ reported Justin Bieber takes a smoke break
Speaker 2: while catching up with Dave Chappelle. They were photographed together
Speaker 2: at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood on Saturday night. We're
Speaker 2: told they were seen sitting on the outside patio. At
Speaker 2: one point, Justin Bieber was seen hugging another person who
Speaker 2: was arriving to the bar. It's unclear if they were
Speaker 2: with a group or others or what was going on,
Speaker 2: but Justin had his cigarettes Naproghetz. He talked about appearing
Speaker 2: at SNL fifty and on his podcast, and Heate said,
Speaker 2: I got there Wednesday because I was supposed to rehearsal Thursday,
Speaker 2: and then as I was about to take off, they
Speaker 2: tell me I don't have to rehearse until Saturday, and
Speaker 2: rather than deep board the plane, Ate decided to spend
Speaker 2: the week in New York and maybe get in a
Speaker 2: few spots. Nate said, a lot of comics. We got
Speaker 2: together and hung out. So we went to the East
Speaker 2: Village with Gaff again. Then on Wednesday night I went
Speaker 2: over to the comedy seller. Nate was aware of all
Speaker 2: the name dropping and said, this is gonna be just
Speaker 2: all names. You know, everybody's kind of in town, right
Speaker 2: because everybody's going SNL fifties. So I went up, Spade
Speaker 2: went up, Rock went up. We didn't know this, they
Speaker 2: told us as we were going up. That same show.
Speaker 2: How that show started was the host that it was
Speaker 2: Steve Martin. Martin short John Mulaney. We were the worst
Speaker 2: part of the show. He said of Steve Martin that
Speaker 2: he doesn't think that Martin's been to a room like
Speaker 2: that since the nineteen sixties. He said, the audience is
Speaker 2: very fortunate. Those people paid I think eighteen dollars for
Speaker 2: that ticket. We were saying, like it's gotta be one
Speaker 2: of the better lineups ever at the Cellar. Friday did
Speaker 2: a big profile of Greg Guttfeld. Now I don't talk
Speaker 2: about Greg much because there's never anything in the press
Speaker 2: about him. Friday estimates Greg makes about nine million dollars
Speaker 2: a year, roughly half of what Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert
Speaker 2: are earning. Depending on whose report you read, Guttfeld might
Speaker 2: have the top late night show. Greg said, I think
Speaker 2: Fallon was a victor of status preservation. I think when
Speaker 2: I see them all in agreement not to make jokes
Speaker 2: about sacred subjects out of again status preservations, it's because
Speaker 2: they know they'll be cast aside if they do that.
Speaker 2: I'm already cast aside. I'm free. Variety writes that Greg
Speaker 2: struggles to name a host he finds funny other than
Speaker 2: Bill Maher and Joe Rogan. Then he remembers Tim Dillon.
Speaker 2: Tim has a small role in Joker Too, and he
Speaker 2: has trashed it. Greg says of Dylan talk about non
Speaker 2: interested in status preservation, said it's the worst movie he's
Speaker 2: ever made, and how everybody on the set new it
Speaker 2: was terrible. That's somebody who doesn't care. Then you have
Speaker 2: Andre Schultz at THEO Vaughn finding success and being honest
Speaker 2: and not giving a hoot. Then you have these other
Speaker 2: guys that have told the line and they're like, are
Speaker 2: we out and the zeitgeist? Are we no longer relevant? Greg,
Speaker 2: I think correctly analyzes Howard Stern here and I have
Speaker 2: often said of Howard to a couple things. One, Howard
Speaker 2: paid me the compliment of my career, oh probably twenty
Speaker 2: years ago now. The first time I met him, the
Speaker 2: only time I met him, he found out that a
Speaker 2: program the Rodock Channel, and he told me it sounded
Speaker 2: really great. So Howard Stern telling me my radio station
Speaker 2: sounded great meant the world to me. But I don't
Speaker 2: think Greg is unfair here when he says the more
Speaker 2: Howard Stern had to lose, the less risk he took.
Speaker 2: I think when you're in that group, the late not
Speaker 2: comedy or humorous world, they start putting their professional status
Speaker 2: and their personal status in front of what could be
Speaker 2: really funny and what could be really true. They had
Speaker 2: four years of an incapacitated president, and they didn't say boo,
Speaker 2: and instead they unravel over posts by Trump. But it's
Speaker 2: like you could do both. Gottfeldt said he did not
Speaker 2: vote for Trump in twenty sixteen, did so reluctantly in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, and enthusiastically in twenty twenty four. This time
Speaker 2: I went in person, like the day the freaking place opened.
Speaker 2: I was there at nine am down in the village
Speaker 2: that I couldn't wait. Interesting exchange here with the Variety.
Speaker 2: Greg explains that his mom was Catholic. The writer says, wait,
Speaker 2: aren't you Jewish? The text then reads this might be
Speaker 2: the only time during our hours together which he seems uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Answering a question, Greg says, my dad was an atheist.
Speaker 2: I think after the Holocaust he had no religious beliefs
Speaker 2: at all. I don't remember the stories except that my
Speaker 2: dad didn't want to talk about it. My parents were
Speaker 2: older when they had me, so he was born in
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty four to twenty so he had a lot
Speaker 2: of relatives. Blah blah blah. Variety asks in the Holocaust,
Speaker 2: Greg said, either escaping or in I never really talk
Speaker 2: about it because I don't know. Greg talked about when
Speaker 2: the Internet wanted to cancel Sidney Sweeney because a relative
Speaker 2: of Sydney's was photographed wearing a Blue Lives Matter shirt
Speaker 2: at her mother's birthday party. Greg said, see, this is
Speaker 2: what happened when you were on at Targets and how
Speaker 2: addictive it is to cancel people. It's not enough just
Speaker 2: to go after famous people. You have to go after
Speaker 2: people who are tangential to fame. Then you get a
Speaker 2: dopamine head every time it works. Did you take down
Speaker 2: Sidney Sweeney's relative? Yes, I did. It could be well,
Speaker 2: you're a loser. That should be the answer. Greg continues,
Speaker 2: celebrities have too much to lose to let their guard
Speaker 2: down on a show like mine. If I had Ryan
Speaker 2: Reynolds or somebody sitting there and we're doing a segment
Speaker 2: on trans and sports, you think he's going to tell
Speaker 2: me what he thinks. F No, he's going to be
Speaker 2: looking for his publicist. You said you were promoting a movie.
Speaker 2: You didn't tell me they're gonna ask me about this.
Speaker 2: Greg said, I don't need it. Kim Well could have
Speaker 2: Kevin Costner on, I'd still beat him. I'd still double
Speaker 2: his ratings. I wanted to shout out the people who
Speaker 2: support the show. The irregular members at buy Me a
Speaker 2: Coffee dot Com. They are Deb, Tommy Andrea, Gary, Shannon,

Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. What's the Netflix special today? Looks like there
Speaker 2: isn't one today. I don't have anything in the notes,
Speaker 2: and I usually put these in the notes. The next
Speaker 2: two were Andrew Schultz on March fourth and Chelsea Handler
Speaker 2: on March twenty fifth. Last week was Rose bud Baker,
Speaker 2: Okay Becuesse. They didn't do one this week, So if
Speaker 2: you need something to watch, Gina Brillan, She's got a
Speaker 2: special aut on YouTube today. In Mind Your Business, Gina
Speaker 2: tackles everything from becoming a mother during the pandemic, the
Speaker 2: evolving challenges of parenthood, the rising costs of travel, and
Speaker 2: the complexities of our ever changing social climate, and it
Speaker 2: pulled a couple clips here. I'm gonna split this into
Speaker 2: today and tomorrow because it's just not cool to turn
Speaker 2: my show into I play clips from Trevor Noah's podcast.
Speaker 2: But I was listening to the episode from February sixth
Speaker 2: where he was talking about hosting the Grammys, and I
Speaker 2: thought this was really interesting. Trevor explained the push and
Speaker 2: pull of playing to the room versus playing to the
Speaker 2: audience at home. I'll let this go for a little bit.
Speaker 3: The weird thing about doing live TV, especially in award
Speaker 3: show or anything like that, is you're balancing two balls
Speaker 3: that are very differently sized. You have the TV audience,
Speaker 3: which is massive, and then you have the live audience,
Speaker 3: which is tiny in comparison. However, the live audience has
Speaker 3: a direct and immediate impact on you. The TV audience
Speaker 3: does not. Yeah, but now, if you ignore the live audience,
Speaker 3: that is at your peril as a performer, because they
Speaker 3: will never be with you. And if you don't have
Speaker 3: the room, you don't have the right energy that gets
Speaker 3: you to where you need to be in whatever you're saying.
Speaker 3: They're not listening, they're not paying attention, they're not coming
Speaker 3: with you, they're not laugh you name it. If you
Speaker 3: only pay attentions to the room, the person at home
Speaker 3: is going, well, clearly this is not for me, yea,
Speaker 3: this is taking too long. This is and you've watched
Speaker 3: an award show where it feels self indulgent sitting at
Speaker 3: home and then the people they are like, ah, nice shoes.
Speaker 2: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 3: And you're like, all right, clearly this is not about me.
Speaker 3: I'm just watching people. But this is the delicate dance.
Speaker 3: You are making a show for television. But they aren't
Speaker 3: two hundred people in that room with you. There are
Speaker 3: fourteen thousand people in the room with you. So they
Speaker 3: are as important in a weird way as the people
Speaker 3: at home, and yet they serve very different purposes. So
Speaker 3: your pace for the people in the room is different
Speaker 3: to your pace for the people at home. Your pace
Speaker 3: for a joke is different your pace for everything. So
Speaker 3: in these moments, what I'm experiencing is I've just felt
Speaker 3: where the room is when we've come out of the
Speaker 3: top of the show, and I've gone, damn, we have
Speaker 3: a lot of work to do tonight. Because people aren't
Speaker 3: as celebratory as they normally.
Speaker 2: Are pretty interesting, right. He then explained the vibe in
Speaker 2: the room that was right around the La fires, and
Speaker 2: he explains that he was editing on the fly and
Speaker 2: just kind of feeling the vibe and not just doing
Speaker 2: the act as written and moving some stuff around, so
Speaker 2: it was not to screw things up. Really interesting here.
Speaker 3: And I've gone, damn, we have a lot of work
Speaker 3: to do tonight because people aren't as celebratory as they
Speaker 3: normally are. So now when people are saying how are you?
Speaker 3: And how have you been? At every table, whether it's
Speaker 3: Cynthia Arrivo talking to Taylor Swift, whether it's John Legend
Speaker 3: going over and talking to you know, Esperanza Spelding or
Speaker 3: whoever it is, everyone there is going how are you.
Speaker 3: Normally it's like, hey, what's up? How are you feeling?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Baby, oh look at you. No, now people are how
Speaker 3: are you? It doesn't matter why how are you? And
Speaker 3: now I'm going, oh man, this is not where I
Speaker 3: would do the jokes that I thought I would do,
Speaker 3: And I've got to move that around. I'm doing all
Speaker 3: of this in my head here. I'm trying to think
Speaker 3: of how we're shifting things, trying to think of and
Speaker 3: I mean, you know me, well, both of you do.
Speaker 3: After every show I go, there's a million things I
Speaker 3: could have done better, you know. But because I know
Speaker 3: comedy's so percarious, I'm always like, ah, it's the death
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 2: Got a couple more clips from Trevor tomorrow. That great
Speaker 2: Jim Gaffigan joke. Apparently nobody told Jim they were about
Speaker 2: to do it, so Trevor will tell that story tomorrow.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, listening to Trevor's podcast, this is the
Speaker 2: February sixth episode that I'm talking about here, lenn On
Speaker 2: a sad note. Lynn Marie Stewart. You may know her
Speaker 2: as Charlie's mom on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. She's
Speaker 2: passed away at age seventy eight. You may also know
Speaker 2: her as Miss Evonne on the Peewee Herman Show. Deadline
Speaker 2: reports that Stuart passed away on February twenty first, at
Speaker 2: the age of seventy eight. Manager Betty Smith reported that
Speaker 2: Stuart had found a tumor between her liver and gallbladder
Speaker 2: and said that Lynn was the most talented actress. She
Speaker 2: left her craft above everything. Lynn Marie Stewart was seventy eight,
