Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Max with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Conan O'Brien returns to Late Nights, not
Speaker 1: just the concept of the Late Night, but the actual
Speaker 1: NBC Late Night with Seth Myers. It is his first
Speaker 1: time as a guest on the Seth Myers incarnation. He
Speaker 1: made a cameo appearance early in Jimmy Fallon's run That's
Speaker 1: tonight at twelve thirty seven am. If you want to
Speaker 1: stay up late, I am sure someone will share social
Speaker 1: media clips in your favorite podcast. Here, we'll recap it
Speaker 1: for you. Got some information for the Just for Laughs
Speaker 1: in Montreal, Rebirth Festival JFL has announced the programming lineup
Speaker 1: for off JFL, the festival's unique edgy sibling that has
Speaker 1: been a launch pad for the next generation of artists.
Speaker 1: This year's off JFL features Russell Howard, Jen Marco Ciresi,
Speaker 1: a Kay, Trevor Wilson, Emil Wakeem Nish Kumar, Robbie Hoffman,
Speaker 1: Ivan Decker and some others. This is some real good
Speaker 1: names there. I got to drop the website into English.
Speaker 1: I can sort of quote unquote read French, but not
Speaker 1: in a way where I can quote unquote read it
Speaker 1: and explain it to you as I'm doing the podcast
Speaker 1: here live ish. So this is not the main festival,
Speaker 1: but let's see what we got here. July seventeenth, the
Speaker 1: Sketch Show, Friday the eighteenth, the Montreal Show, a couple
Speaker 1: of midnight surprises in there. Sunday Night improv. I've been
Speaker 1: deck around Wednesday the twenty third, that's in the middle
Speaker 1: of the festival, proper cave. Treva Wilson that same night,
Speaker 1: Nish Kumar that same night, and I think that's the
Speaker 1: night of New Faces. Boy, that's a pack night. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll go up there that day. So decided I finally
Speaker 1: found a contact for the new press people. I need
Speaker 1: to reach out to them. Jay Jorden on Thursday the
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, in front of the show Marco SOIRESI on
Speaker 1: Saturday at ten o'clock. Good to see the festival back
Speaker 1: and starting to come together. Now, that's good. Waiting for
Speaker 1: the big announcements and the new faces and all that.
Speaker 1: Agunwotum is the latest to flirt with the idea of
Speaker 1: leaving SNL Goldderby dot com, which suddenly is reporting a
Speaker 1: lot of comedy stuff that's hitting my google anyway. Ego
Speaker 1: was at an Emmy's FYC event and said, I want
Speaker 1: to create something that feels like it's mine. I want
Speaker 1: to showcase some of my other talents now that I've
Speaker 1: done so much on the show. But I love the show,
Speaker 1: so there's no telling what happens there or doesn't bo
Speaker 1: When Yang said, this is kind of what everyone's negotiating.
Speaker 1: It's a nice sort of collective check in for everybody.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us is really at the
Speaker 1: foresight and what life would be like afterwards, and now
Speaker 1: that we're on the other side of it, I think
Speaker 1: we're all kind of assessing mighty. Gardner said, I think
Speaker 1: I'm looking for open doors. I found that sometimes the
Speaker 1: easiest things that come to me are the most fulfilling ones,
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm looking for. Interesting. I think we're
Speaker 1: going to say massive cast turnover, but time will tell.
Speaker 1: My former coworker Jamie Fox, got emotional while accepting the
Speaker 1: Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards on Monday night.
Speaker 1: Jamie struggled to hold back tears during his speech. He
Speaker 1: thanked God for giving him a second chance following his
Speaker 1: health emergency. Jamie said, I don't want to make this
Speaker 1: whole speech about that. You can't go through something like
Speaker 1: that and not testify. I cannot even begin to express
Speaker 1: the love that I feel from everybody out there. I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest. When I saw the in Memoriam, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, that could have been me. Kevin Hart
Speaker 1: was the host of the BET Awards. He had some
Speaker 1: really strong material here, which obviously he told better than
Speaker 1: I will recount to you. But Kevin said, I'm shutting
Speaker 1: down the idea of after parties. No after parties tonight,
Speaker 1: none take your asses home after this. That's why I
Speaker 1: did this on a Monday. People gotta go to work tomorrow.
Speaker 1: No after parties. That's where stuff gets slippery at those
Speaker 1: after parties. We're learning a lot about people, aren't we.
Speaker 1: We're learning a lot. Take your asses home, and people
Speaker 1: assumed that was a commentary on the dedde Combs trial.
Speaker 1: One of Kevin Hart's other rules for the night was
Speaker 1: he wanted to keep things classy and he would only
Speaker 1: refer to attendees by their government names, no nicknames, no
Speaker 1: rap names. He gave a shout out to Dwayne Michael
Speaker 1: Carter Junior aka Lowayne Calvin Cortizor brought us Junior, that
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg and Gloria Hallelujah Woods. Kevin Hart said a
Speaker 1: lot of people expected to see a big church in
Speaker 1: the back selling fish plates. Nope, that's Glorilla. Kevin also
Speaker 1: joked that he'd gotten the audience self driving Waymo cars
Speaker 1: to take the audience home. The event took place in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Taylor Thomlinson addressed these situation in LA on
Speaker 1: her soon to be over a late night show and
Speaker 1: said late night shows aren't funny anymore. We're just the
Speaker 1: news now. I don't know. I just have a hard
Speaker 1: time talking about any of the stuff because I don't
Speaker 1: think it's funny. I can't imagine being somebody whose mom
Speaker 1: or dad, or brother or sister got abducted by ice
Speaker 1: and you turn on TV and it's just some dumb
Speaker 1: B word and a ponytail saying Trump's just being silly.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to make it funny. It's not funny.
Speaker 1: She then joked, how are the day laborers at home
Speaker 1: depot possibly hurting Americans? Have you gone a home depot? Literally?
Speaker 1: All they do is offer to help. Stephen Colbert said
Speaker 1: there's been some pelting of police and ice agents with
Speaker 1: rocks and garbage. For example, people began throwing objects at
Speaker 1: law enforcement and protests that started when demonstrators took over
Speaker 1: the one oh one, although locals were quick to point
Speaker 1: out they should have taken over the four O five
Speaker 1: to the five and saved at least ten minutes on
Speaker 1: the road to fascism. That is a wonderfully, wonderfully crafted joke.
Speaker 1: Good j job. Stephen Colbert's left Stephen Colbert writers seth
Speaker 1: Meyer said, Also, if you're against property damage and protesters
Speaker 1: flying un American flags, you guys would have hated January sixth, Hey,
Speaker 1: did we know Jim Jeffries has a new show on Fox?
Speaker 1: I host this thing every day. I feel like I
Speaker 1: would have mentioned it. Maybe I raced it from my brain,
Speaker 1: but apparently he had a show on Fox last night
Speaker 1: called The Snake. The Snake features fifteen contestants leveraging their
Speaker 1: unique skills and relying on their powers of persuasion. Throughout
Speaker 1: the game, a snake is chosen to juggle the fate
Speaker 1: of their fellow competitors, all trying to compete for the
Speaker 1: grand prize of one hundred thousand dollars, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a lot of money, but not a lot
Speaker 1: of money. The feds are gonna take their cut. You're
Speaker 1: gonna go home with maybe sixty grand. How much is
Speaker 1: Fox getting for one commercial on this show. Yeah, sounds
Speaker 1: like a lot until you look at the math. Jeffrey said,
Speaker 1: there is no backstabbing you in this game. People are
Speaker 1: stabbing you in your front. What makes this show different
Speaker 1: from other shows is once you win the challenge, you
Speaker 1: get to become the Snake. You get a Snake Medallion,
Speaker 1: the most coveted character in the game, and then we
Speaker 1: have a saving ceremony, not an elimination ceremony, where the
Speaker 1: Snake decides either going to save first, then that person
Speaker 1: decides to save another person, and that person decides to
Speaker 1: save another person until we get down to the final
Speaker 1: two players, and then the Snake decides who gets to
Speaker 1: live and who goes home. Patton Oswald is joined the
Speaker 1: cast of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. He plays a
Speaker 1: vulcan in season three. That's terrible casting, like really really terrible.
Speaker 1: Love Patton Oswalt, but there's nothing about Patton Oswalt that
Speaker 1: is vulcan. He doesn't look like a Vulcan. He doesn't
Speaker 1: act like a Vulcan. Even if he's a world thespian,
Speaker 1: He's still going to look like Patton Oswalt and Hobbit makeup.
Speaker 1: This is a terrible, terrible idea and I'm a big
Speaker 1: tricky and it gets worse Star Trek fans. During the
Speaker 1: brief interaction, Spock tells Patton Oswalt's character to give him five.
Speaker 1: Oswalt's character gives Spock a high five. Then Spock says,
Speaker 1: now go down low and lowers his hand. Before Oswalt's
Speaker 1: character can make contact with Spock's hand, Spock pulls his
Speaker 1: hand away. Uh, I almost dropped a JFC there. I'm
Speaker 1: a big treky. The current regime at Star Trek is
Speaker 1: just awful. Patton Hoswald Star Trek character says, why would
Speaker 1: you do that? Spock says, because you are too slow?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what are you people doing? Just leave
Speaker 1: Star Trek dye in piece. Some fellow nerds said they
Speaker 1: hope Patton Oswald gets more Vulcan episodes. He would have
Speaker 1: to appear in three episodes to pass Sarah Silverman, who
Speaker 1: appeared in two episodes of Star Trek and of course,
Speaker 1: Dignataro was in several seasons of The Horrible, Horrible, Horrible
Speaker 1: Star Trek Discovery. You don't want to start me on
Speaker 1: that topic. If you ever meet me in person and
Speaker 1: you say Star Trek to me, you're gonna regret it.
Speaker 1: Caleb hearing And is getting an HBO special. It'll tape
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Little debut this fault, you know. Rosenstein, the
Speaker 1: executive vice president of HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials, said,
Speaker 1: we're thrilled to work with Caleb on his first comedy special.
Speaker 1: He's wildly funny and has kind of an emotion, a
Speaker 1: ledge and honesty that it feels totally his own. This
Speaker 1: special captures everything that makes him such a fresh and
Speaker 1: fearless voice in comedy. How do you know it hasn't
Speaker 1: recorded yet? Hmmm? Caleb said, thank you to HBO for
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I look forward to seeing what the platform
Speaker 1: will be called in the fall. That's good. That's your
