WEBVTT

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Jenny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. I had posted on threads people are

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>just giving Jay Letto so much crap about his comments

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about Late Night the other day, and I posted Jay

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>should just come out because Jay was a really good comic.

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>He understood what the Tonight Show is and isn't. Jimmy

7
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Fallon understands what the Tonight Show is and isn't. You

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 1>can't have Dice Clay hosting the Tonight Show. It's not

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>what the gig is. So I encourage Jay, you know what,

10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>come out and just show everybody what you can do.

11
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Come out and just go all right, your sons of guns.

12
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Do ten minutes about Conan O'Brien, then do ten minutes

13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>about Letterman, then do twenty minutes of political and then

14
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 1>change gears and just do your whole Hey, you ever

15
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>noticed did you see this thing? And just do that

16
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and just drop the mic and let everybody know you

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>can do it. What brought that to mind is this

18
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>first joke from Late Night during the week from Jimmy

19
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Fallon wanted to set it up by saying, did you

20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>see the thing where Trump was cheating at golf because

21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>that's the setup and the did you see the thing

22
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>made me think of Jay anyway. Jimmy Fallon joked, it's

23
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just refreshing to see someone cheating without being at a

24
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Coldplay concert. Great joke. New topic. Fell and Russia just

25
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>started direct flights between Moscow and North Korea. It's one

26
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 1>of those rare trips with a fun part. Really is

27
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the journey and not the destination. Seth Meyer is getting political,

28
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he said. The Justice Department has reportedly granted limited immunity

29
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 1>to Jeffrey Epstein associate Julane Maxwell in exchange for information

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>on one hundred people linked to Epstein, as well as

31
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>full immunity if he gives them zero information on one person.

32
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Seth Again, an inmate at a New Orleans jail, was

33
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>mistakenly released after authorities confused him with another prisoner with

34
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 1>a similar name. So congratulations to Maxwell's Jolaine. Colbert had

35
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 1>on Las Culturistas, Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers on his

36
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>show the other day. Colbert said, I'm gonna need a

37
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>gig soon, sell me on podcasting Is it fun? Rogers

38
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>advice to Stephen cop keep it real. Seth Myers was

39
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on a podcast, specifically Armchair Expert, and he was asked

40
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>by Dax Shephard, do you have the fear that this

41
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 1>is going to end tomorrow? Meaning Late Night? Seth said, yeah,

42
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I do. I mean only because it's such a time

43
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>we're living in as far as the entertainment industry. I

44
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 1>shifted from fearing that it wouldn't be good enough, and

45
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>now my fear is weirdly more outside of my control,

46
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>which is just at some point the ecosystem might not

47
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>support it. I guess that's better than thinking it's your fault,

48
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's weird not to feel any control over it.

49
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>His strategy is just show up and do the work.

50
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>That's the only part they're paying you to do. It's

51
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the only part you're good at. All the other problems

52
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>we have people that are good at that don't mess

53
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>around with it. I sometimes take stock of, oh, this

54
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>isn't the best time to be doing what I'm doing,

55
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>but at least I got in. Myers recalled Late Night

56
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>being on shaky ground during its early years. Whatever time

57
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>we're living in now, I've had lower points in the

58
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>body of the show. Early on in the show, we

59
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>had some NBC executives actually say to us like, we're

60
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>very worried about how the show's going to go with

61
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>no real instruction has how to get out of it.

62
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Seth just surpassed David Letterman as Late Night's second longest

63
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 1>serving host. Conan would be number one. That means Fallin

64
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>is number four, and he's got a deal through twenty

65
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. My guess maybe it'll end then. I mean,

66
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that show has zero cultural impact and

67
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who's watching it. Seems nice enough, but

68
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why that show exists in its current form.

69
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Out today HBO Max Mark Maren's new special Paniced. Interesting

70
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>to me that it's on Friday night, Saturday. Interesting to

71
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 1>me that it's at eight pm Eastern, not ten pm

72
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday night like they usually do. I am

73
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>planning on watching a bunch of comedy specials tonight. I

74
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>know I host a podcast called Daily Comedy News. Maybe

75
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 1>I should actually watch a special because I do this

76
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>for a living. By the time nighttime rolls around, I

77
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do comedy. Does that make sense? I

78
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 1>was the same way when as it's serious, I'd come

79
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 1>home and watch the Universe and just stare at Neildograsse

80
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Tyson telling me about Saturday, you know, things like that.

81
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>As there's just some nights, I'm like, I don't feel

82
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>like thinking about stand up anymore. But my plan right

83
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>now is to watch Maren, Dusty Slave, Veered, Zedi Pepatone.

84
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>If I'm still rolling, we'll see. Mark Maren's Panicked is

85
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>his second special for HBO, is sixth stand up special overall.

86
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Mark says, I feel this is the best work I've done.

87
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything came together, the direction, the production design, the shirt,

88
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the bits HBO gets me, and I'm thrilled to be

89
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>presented by them. A lot of the Mark Maren news

90
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>cycle was getting sucked up by Taylor Swift. This week,

91
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Maren was on the Good One podcast That was actually

92
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good listen. I'm not that hot on that

93
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>particular podcast, but that was a good listen. Maren shared

94
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>that he licensed Taylor's song Bigger than the Whole Sky,

95
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>which is a bonus track on the three AM edition

96
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of her twenty twenty two album Midnights. The cost a

97
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>license Bigger than the Whole Sky, Maren said about fifty

98
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. Maren explained, I know Jack Ansid Off enough

99
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>to text him, and he's the co writer on that song.

100
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I said, I don't know what's proper how to do this,

101
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>but we're running out of money on this thing. It's

102
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna come out of my pocket. Is there anything

103
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>you can do about the song or talk to Taylor?

104
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Antonoff told him go through official music licensing channels. Maren

105
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>said it was doable, but fifty grand only covered use

106
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 1>of one minute. He said, I would have gone over

107
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the minute, but it would have been more money. Wow,

108
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was an interesting press release. The Martha's

109
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Vineyard African American Film Festival announced it will present a

110
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 1>special screening of Dave Chappelle's unreleased documentary Dave Chappelle Live

111
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>in Real Life. That's a documentary that exists. Well, it's unreleased,

112
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>which might be why I don't know about it. Why

113
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>is it unreleased? Dave Chappelle. Well, I'll go up to

114
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Martha's Vineyard on Friday, August eighth at two point thirty pm.

115
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Hit the Performing Arts Center and Martha's Vineyard. The exclusive

116
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>screening serves as a fundraising event. So between that and

117
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the travel, and you'll probably need a place to sleep.

118
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 1>This isn't going to be cheap if you want to

119
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>see this thing. The documentary captures Dave Chappelle's Pandemic era

120
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>comedy series back in summer twenty twenty in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

121
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Dave Chappelle Live in Real Life follows Dave Chappelle as

122
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>he provides the community he calls home with two things

123
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>desperately needed in difficult times, economic and comic relief. Kathleen

124
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>Madigan is going to be at the Venetie in Las

125
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Vegas tomorrow. She was asked about her favorite places to play.

126
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>She didn't say the Venetian. She barely lights up talking

127
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>about New Orleans, Charleston, and Savannah, Georgia. This from Las

128
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Vegas magazine, and Kathleen said, I must have had a

129
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>pass life as a swamp person. She's grown weary of

130
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the homogenization plaguing many cities, explaining every city's got it.

131
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's a strip mall, here's DJ Max, here's Applebee's. But

132
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>then she did say good things about Vegas. I can

133
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 1>leave Vegas alone for six months and come back and

134
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>something new will be built. You guys move faster than

135
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>anyone as far as change goes. Zero respect for history,

136
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>which I do find kind of funny. If she weren't

137
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>a comedian, she would want to own a bar called Madigan's,

138
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>combining her love of bartending, social interaction, and sports. Kathleen

139
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>at the Venetian tomorrow night, thirty nine bucks, you should

140
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 1>go ten pm. Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson are out

141
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 1>promoting The Pick Up, a heist movie that sees them

142
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 1>sparring as a pair of incompatible armored truck drivers. Inspector Acluseau.

143
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Murphy, who's sixty four, said it was a bucketless

144
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>thing for Pete Davidston he was thirty one now. Eddie explained,

145
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 1>Pete comes from SNL. He's a stand up comic. We're

146
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>both from the East Coast. I love to get in

147
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a scene with somebody else that's funny, improvised with them

148
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>and start playing. I love it. He Davidson said. We

149
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>do take as written, and then the director was like,

150
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>everyone just go nuts and would end up just trying

151
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to one up each other. We're just trying to make

152
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>each other laugh. Keeky Palmer, who stars in the film,

153
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 1>said they were improvising constantly. It was really sweet to see.

154
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 1>It's so cool because you see two different generations from

155
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the hub dot Ca, a Canadian website, I used to

156
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>live in Canada. Last week, and Steven Stalely writes, the

157
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Late Show at Stephen Colbert is a perfect distillation of

158
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 1>everything that went wrong with mainstream comedy over the past decade.

159
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Jokes replaced by talking points, laugh substituted with applause lines,

160
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and comedians more eager to affirm than amuse. It wasn't

161
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>always this way. For decades, late night television had an

162
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 1>irreverend edge. David Letterman poked holes in celebrity self importance.

163
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Jay Leno made Middle America wise cracks that actually landed,

164
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>but over time the nightclub stage became a pulpit. The

165
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 1>night before Colbert delivered the news the show is being canceled,

166
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Shane Gillis re might of the world that people still

167
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 1>want to laugh. He then discusses Gillis's performance and how

168
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Gillis did the Norm McDonald joke, and Gillis didn't just

169
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>deliver the line, he delivered a message comedy is back.

170
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 1>The article then praises Norm MacDonald and then says Gillis

171
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>is cut from the same cloth he was fired from

172
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>SNL before his debut, and offensive comments on old podcasts

173
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 1>triggered a pile on from the cultural enforcers, and like norm,

174
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>he was eventually invited back to OS the show, not

175
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>because he changed, but because the world did. Oh man,

176
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it's August. Now. August depresses me because August is like September,

177
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 1>which is like summer's over, and I can't enjoy anything.

178
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm already counting down on the weekend. So so we

179
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>got what tomorrow's aug at second, So got the second,

180
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>the ninth, sixteenth, the twenty third. I probably have to

181
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 1>teach a class a week of the twenty third, so

182
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 1>summer's probably already over than the thirtieth. Oh at least

183
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 1>it's a five weekend August. But on the other hand,

184
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Labor Day September first, so all of a sudden, summer's

185
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 1>over and it's only September second. You're like, ah, I've

186
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 1>had a good summer though with that, I mean it's

187
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>been hot, Pol's been working nice, got to the beach

188
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot. It's been good. Anyway. August is fringe time

189
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>in Edinburgh. Voicemag dot UK has been previewing a lot

190
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>of the shows they caught up with Alex Stringer. Alex says,

191
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>my show is about what it's like getting sober twenty

192
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 1>three and realizing that you're still a d head, basically

193
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 1>jerky faces. How I usually paraphized that Alex is excited

194
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>about Fringe and says, I'm told the minimum I'll get

195
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>is being a better comic, which feels like a really

196
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>good minimum. I'm just gonna enjoy the milestone of it all.

197
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I'll learn lots from it. I look forward

198
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>to it. Best advice you got about the Fringe go home,

199
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>as in when you're staying in Edinburgh and not Liverpool.

200
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Rachel Fairburn said, go home and watch television.

201
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Networking is great, but you need to rest and recoup.

202
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm planning on seeing another show a day, maybe no

203
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 1>more than that. Initially, I think I'm going to leave

204
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 1>watching any other debuts just so I don't compare, etc.

205
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And try to rast do some compilation shows, catch up

206
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with friends, as this is my debut. I initially did

207
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>just forty five minutes of material with no through line

208
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>or narrative or arc. Then I looked at my material well,

209
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>I thought about what I wanted to say in the

210
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>show I wanted to make. I then focused more on

211
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>writing material. I didn't have to tell the story, I

212
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to tell artistic influences Joan Rivers. I think her

213
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>ability to bring lightness when joking about the darkest parts

214
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>of her life is really inspiring to me. I also

215
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 1>strive to be Rys Nicholson because they're excellent. Happy hour

216
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 1>at the Pleasants Courtyard, Bunker three at six pm for

217
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the entire Fringe. Few Times of London caught up with

218
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Leo Reich. Leo says the Fringe is incredible. The thing

219
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 1>that infuriates me is that it makes so much money,

220
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 1>but it makes money at the expense of the people

221
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>actually doing it. It'd be appalling if people allowed it

222
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to die. But if we split ourselves into a series

223
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of individuals looking after our own interests and trying to

224
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>get on television, then it will dissolve. I will go

225
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 1>up to the Fringe in five years and see one

226
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred people who got famous on TikTok perform the worst

227
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>comedy you've ever seen in your life. He recently posted

228
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 1>an ironic quote statement against the cancelation of Jimmy Carr

229
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.799
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram, reacting to outrage that Jimmy Carr had attended

230
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>an event to celebrate Israel's seventy seventh Independence Day at

231
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the British Music The ironic statement said, if this spate

232
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of anti Semitic cancelations continues, soon we may find ourselves

233
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in a society where well meaning people are penalized simply

234
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>for being willing supporters of a horrifying ethno state. He

235
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 1>said he wanted to say something both as a comedian

236
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and as a Jewish person. I'm satirist fundamentally, and so

237
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense for me to do so. The idea

238
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 1>that you should be able to implicitly or explicitly support,

239
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 1>or make excuses for, or be indifferent to genocide. I

240
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want that person in my community. It's so spineless

241
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 1>not to speak out. What do you think is going

242
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to happen? Oh, I'm not on eight out of ten cats?

243
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Does countdown? Thank God? I'd rather chew off my own

244
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>arm and let's send on a lighter note. Fun one

245
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>oh seven was curious what if we could make comedy

246
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 1>even better? A New Orleans comedian is looking to change

247
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 1>comedy with a brand new show. Alex Carrow has brought

248
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.039
<v Speaker 1>in super fights. Here's how it works. Six players performed

249
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 1>in front of three judges and a crowd. They are

250
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 1>given random attributes or superpowers. Each player is given their

251
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>superpowers and a random character. For example, one comic had

252
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>to be Justin Bieber with telekinesis, but his hands were

253
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>taped to his hips. Caro said, it's something different. I

254
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 1>want to do something that's fun for both the comics

255
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>on the audience, a chance for comics to cut loose.

256
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.919
<v Speaker 1>It's a fun hang and you get to be funny

257
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in a room full of people. And that is your

258
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>comedy news for today. If you like the program without
