Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Jennie Mac with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Nicki Glazer was on Mike Birbiglia's podcast,
Speaker 1: Nicky's Agents Getting It Done. Bir Bigley was the IT
Speaker 1: comic this week. Sure, so she made an appearance there.
Speaker 1: What a coincidence? Nicki told Mike she learned that Lona
Speaker 1: del Rey was not a fan of Nicki Glazer's jokes.
Speaker 1: According to Nicki, a friend of hers was at a
Speaker 1: party and met whom they described as a gorgeous woman.
Speaker 1: They started to share details about their lives, the friend
Speaker 1: writes for Nicki Glazer. The gorgeous woman walked away. Another
Speaker 1: partygoer approached Nicki Glazer's friend and said, what were you
Speaker 1: talking to Lonna Delray about? Apparently the friend heard from
Speaker 1: Hanna del Rey or a friend of Lonna del Rey's.
Speaker 1: I like Nikki, but I wish she wasn't so dirty,
Speaker 1: Glazier said. I was sad because I love Lonna del Rey.
Speaker 1: I thought she would have been into that stuff, and
Speaker 1: now I'm like, oh my god, it was helpful advice.
Speaker 1: At first, I was like, how dare she? And then
Speaker 1: I was like, I've got some notes too for her.
Speaker 1: She's one of the best brilliant artists ever, and yet
Speaker 1: I'm entitled not like things of hers. There are songs
Speaker 1: that I'm like, eh, So she's a lot to be
Speaker 1: eh about me. I took the note and I'm working
Speaker 1: on it. Nicky says she took the criticism seriously, not
Speaker 1: just to appeal to her, but to appeal to people
Speaker 1: who like her, people that I could be sharing my
Speaker 1: message with, but are turned off because I hear she's
Speaker 1: too dirty, and I just don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1: Some people are deeply uncomfortable by it. It's not even
Speaker 1: like they're prude. It's like, ew, it's grosse. Are we
Speaker 1: going to see some sort of major comedic pivot by
Speaker 1: Nicki Glazer? Seems to be a week four angry articles.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed this one from Savingcountry Music dot Com. Apparently
Speaker 1: they didn't find the totally not Garth Brooks segments of
Speaker 1: Tom Sigora's bad Thoughts as hilarious as I did. I
Speaker 1: had commented I could watch Sigura do totally not Garth
Speaker 1: Brooks all day, every day. If Sigura wants to turn
Speaker 1: that into a one hour week series, I'll watch it
Speaker 1: saving country music com long story short toms Agora loves
Speaker 1: to poke fun of Brooks and what many perceive as
Speaker 1: Gortz over the top persona. It's been a favorite topic
Speaker 1: of Sigora going back to twenty eighteen. At this point,
Speaker 1: the whole where are the Body's Garth thing has been
Speaker 1: used for so long it's grown pretty stale. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it hasn't, not at all. No, no, no no, But
Speaker 1: Tom s Agora decided to take the joke to its
Speaker 1: ultimate conclusion by portraying a very Goarth like character in
Speaker 1: the short run Netflix comedy series called Bad Thoughts that
Speaker 1: debuted on May thirteenth. I feel like the short run
Speaker 1: is trying to be a dig there. It was just
Speaker 1: a six episode series. You know, it's not crazy that
Speaker 1: something on Netflix is only six episodes. Is not nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four anymore. Throughout the six episodes, toms Agora portrays
Speaker 1: multiple dark characters in unthinkable situations and fantasies. One such
Speaker 1: character as a global country music superstar who kidnaps his
Speaker 1: own fans and forces them to live with little food
Speaker 1: in an old Western like town to help inspire him
Speaker 1: to write and hit songs. You can hear me cracking up.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking back to the sketch I love. Though
Speaker 1: the character's name is Rex Henley, it's clearly a goof
Speaker 1: on Garth Brooks saving country music dot com. Right. So,
Speaker 1: as a country fan, a comedy fan, and maybe even
Speaker 1: as a Garth Brooks fan, you were hoping this could
Speaker 1: result in some fun last But unfortunately Tom Sigora's Bad
Speaker 1: Thoughts doesn't deliver. And forget the time into the country
Speaker 1: music universe and Garth Brooks. The series of six to
Speaker 1: twenty minute or so episodes really just isn't that funny
Speaker 1: at all, except for infleeting moments. Oh I disagree, it
Speaker 1: is hilarious. I can't get enough of Bad Thoughts. It's
Speaker 1: only the first few episodes were the Rex Henley characters seen,
Speaker 1: and despite the insane premise, it might be some of
Speaker 1: the most tame moments of the series. That is true.
Speaker 1: I want to tell my adult son to watch it,
Speaker 1: and I don't have the courage to tell my adult
Speaker 1: son to watch it because it's naughty. Perhaps if you're
Speaker 1: a Tom Sigora fan and get his comedy, it helps,
Speaker 1: But if you're a country fan who loves to poke
Speaker 1: fund at Garth Brooks yourself. Just don't bother Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: offers more comedy inadvertent, okay. Kevin Hart spoke to You
Speaker 1: Fortunate about his rejections over the years and said, I
Speaker 1: can't narrow it down to one not getting into comedy
Speaker 1: clubs early on in my career, and not getting chosen
Speaker 1: for comedy festivals, not getting movie roles that I thought
Speaker 1: were perfect roles for me, not getting SNL and I
Speaker 1: thought SNL was the biggest and best thing for me.
Speaker 1: There are so many things that if they would have happened,
Speaker 1: my career wouldn't have shaped up into what it was today.
Speaker 1: You later discover those moments were some of the best
Speaker 1: for you, that made you work harder. Kevin Horret's mindset
Speaker 1: is rejection can be an asset. Without it, you don't
Speaker 1: have anything to learn from or anything to adjust too.
Speaker 1: If things were easy, it'd be stupid. It's supposed to
Speaker 1: be hard. You're supposed to understand the reason for hard
Speaker 1: work and putting one hundred percent to a craft is
Speaker 1: because of what you want to get out from it.
Speaker 1: The Hollywood Reporter had a comedian round table. The question
Speaker 1: at hand, what's an unpopular opinion you hold about comedy.
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Junior said, it's hard for me to go, well,
Speaker 1: I don't like this or that. It's probably because I
Speaker 1: can't do it, Like I'm not good at crowd work.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hate on it, but it's what the
Speaker 1: streets have chosen. Hassan Minhaj said the art form is
Speaker 1: bigger than ever, so when people critique it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: there are more com means doing feeders and arenas that
Speaker 1: ever is. So take the good with the bad. My
Speaker 1: former co worker Jamie Fox said, and it's two worlds.
Speaker 1: There's the two hundred and eighty one comics, so we
Speaker 1: think is the whole world, and then there's Joe Coy
Speaker 1: selling out arenas. Roy Wood Junior said, it's Shane Gillis.
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler said it's a medium that's been pretty unscathed
Speaker 1: by cancel culture. You get to say whatever you want,
Speaker 1: however you want to say it, and it's up to
Speaker 1: your audience whether they're coming for it. Next question, how
Speaker 1: good are you all at predicting how your comedy will land?
Speaker 1: Sarah Silverman said, I'm always surprised what specials the last
Speaker 1: two I did. The first night we shot. You're just
Speaker 1: excited you got it. The second night feels magical because
Speaker 1: you're not in your head anymore, so you go, we'll
Speaker 1: just use the whole second night, and then the editors like, now,
Speaker 1: I like the first night. Seth Meyer said, same thing
Speaker 1: happened to me. I think it's the precision of being
Speaker 1: in your head. The butterflies actually help you focus. Fox.
Speaker 1: I learned that when I took some enhancements to go
Speaker 1: on stage. I thought, since Richard Pryor did in enhancements.
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler asked, what are enhancements? Silverman like cocaine? Fox?
Speaker 1: Some people call it cocaine, some people call it enhancements.
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Junior, No one calls it enhancements. Fuck is
Speaker 1: pr instinct kicked in and I've been in the room
Speaker 1: with him when I've seen this happen to him when
Speaker 1: he's having some fun and then realizes that he's Jamie
Speaker 1: Fox and people are going to quote the things he says.
Speaker 1: Jamie says, I want to go on the record to
Speaker 1: say I hate cocaine. I just like how it smells,
Speaker 1: and then laughs. The Saint Pete catalyst asked Howie Mandel.
Speaker 1: Howie Mandel does America indeed have talent. They should have
Speaker 1: said got talent, no whatever, how he said, yes, yes
Speaker 1: it does. I'm trying to sell tickets to my show.
Speaker 1: So if America didn't have talent, why would you buy
Speaker 1: a ticket to see me? I think there's talent everywhere,
Speaker 1: it's just that it's not everybody's taste. But yes, America's
Speaker 1: got talent. That's why you should come see me. Although
Speaker 1: the people who are fans of America's got talent shouldn't
Speaker 1: bring their children in my live show because America doesn't
Speaker 1: always have editing. My show is very improvisational and in
Speaker 1: the moment, anything can happen, and it's not like what
Speaker 1: I do on AGT. Has Howie seen it all in
Speaker 1: his fifteen years on that show. Every time I think
Speaker 1: I've seen it all, I realize I ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 1: When people will ask me what I look for, I
Speaker 1: look to be surprised. It's anything and everything and things
Speaker 1: I haven't even thought of. I like the opportunity. In
Speaker 1: my own mind go WTF, Like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What is that? How'd you even come up with that?
Speaker 1: Brett Goldstein spoke to Interview magazine about the most challenging
Speaker 1: parts of stand up and said a pitying silence is
Speaker 1: the worst. It feels like dying on stage because you
Speaker 1: came to connect with people. When it doesn't work, it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, am I even here? Do I exist?
Speaker 1: What's happening? And what's so weird about stand up is
Speaker 1: that it's so objective. If someone were to go you're
Speaker 1: not funny and no one's laughing, it's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't argue. I can't say that last night they laugh loads,
Speaker 1: because right now I'm a ghost that isn't funny. Molly
Speaker 1: mcinnerney is the head writer and executive producer of Jimmy
Speaker 1: Kim Alive, also his wife. She spoke to Late NIGHTERR
Speaker 1: about whether or not Jimmy will stick around. She said,
Speaker 1: I do think we need him. I'd love for him
Speaker 1: to stay, but I also want him to be able
Speaker 1: to relax and fly fish and not listen to Trump
Speaker 1: every day. So I want whatever's best for him. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I selfishly want him to fight the good fight as
Speaker 1: long as he can. When you wake up in the
Speaker 1: morning and it's like Donald Trump wants to put people
Speaker 1: on appuature as you're like, oh, I don't think we
Speaker 1: should do the funny bit on the bull of today.
Speaker 1: We want to deliver these funny bits, and these things
Speaker 1: can take people out of the news. But when you're
Speaker 1: so overwhelmed by the news, you're like, wait, we got
Speaker 1: to call him out on a thing he just said today.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel's contract runs through next fall, the twenty five
Speaker 1: to twenty six seasons, so we got another year of
Speaker 1: him at least. Might take. Just negotiate now, dude, you
Speaker 1: already got the summer off, stretch out the Christmas break,
Speaker 1: do the permanent guest host thing on Monday and tell
Speaker 1: them you'll host Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and let the Friday
Speaker 1: be a rerun er. I don't even know what's on Friday.
Speaker 1: And that's it. Learn from Shohnny Carson. Let someone else
Speaker 1: hose Mondays stick around. It's a good gig. It pays well,
Speaker 1: it keeps you in the public eye. I understand we're
Speaker 1: all getting older. You want to work a little less.
Speaker 1: Been there, done that, doing it, So yeah, just negotiate.
Speaker 1: ABC will say yes, take a pay cut if you
Speaker 1: have to. It's okay, you got the money. That's your
