1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,439
Speaker 2: Well, I guess we only answer to you why they

3
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:16,679
didn't promote the lineup for the Roast of Kevin Hart.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,160
I am Johnny Mackam recording this at nine pm, where

5
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:23,920
I just turned the Roast off during Lizzo. Now, if

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,800
the rest of the night was amazing and there were surprises,

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,519
then they didn't structure the show correctly because that first hour. Boy,

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,520
I feel tired from watching it. I kind of wanted

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,039
to turn it off half an hour ago. Maybe it

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,920
got better. I got some notes for you here. Shane

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,079
Gillis came out. Shane's material probably better than the crowd

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,320
reacted to. It a tough room for Shane. He wound

13
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:50,520
up eating it a little bit. He opened up and

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,320
did about a minute or so. I did pull some clips. Now,

15
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:56,759
just assume for any clip that I played during today's

16
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:59,320
podcast that I have made edits for language, lots of

17
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:01,079
F bombs, and we don't like to do that on

18
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,280
this program. But here's a little bit of Shane Gillis.

19
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Roast of Kevin Hart, live in Los Angeles.

20
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:16,079
Where we're yeah, where we're here to celebrate a guy

21
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,560
we used to like in a city that was once important.

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,200
Kevin will be out in a minute. I'm sure he's

23
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:24,959
backstage shadow boxing or doing a group prayer or whatever

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,599
he does. I'm your extremely white host, Shane Gillis, Yeah,

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,239
white hosts pick up laws.

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: All right.

27
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: I'd just like to thank Netflix for choosing me to

28
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:50,239
host this celebration of black excellence. Look, I'm not saying

29
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:52,640
there's a lot of black people here tonight, but backstage,

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,120
a production assistant asked me what color drank I want

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,920
in my dressing room.

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: Chose purple. You can even hear in my deliverism doing

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,239
the podcast, Like, I just don't have the energy to

34
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,719
be excited about this at all. So after Shane Usher

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,639
came out and sang Kevin, it was just like overacting,

36
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:12,439
like fake outraged. It was almost like wrestling, like, oh,

37
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:14,680
I can't believe you're bashing me at the roast, Like yeah,

38
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:18,759
no kidding. It just felt very very lame. Kevin Hart

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,080
got up there and said it would be better than

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,879
the roast of Tom Brady. That ain't true. I'm gonna

41
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:25,719
tell you right now, it's gonna be way better than

42
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:30,360
the Tom Brady, gross, way better, way better. The reason

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,879
why is because I'm not a bitch.

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,479
Speaker 3: Tom is a bitch.

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: Tom sat there in the.

46
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:42,599
Speaker 4: Whole time with the white man face, went on radio

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000
stages after what anything me?

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: I gat believe, and then in the leadoff position, Tom

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,319
Brady came out. I thought that was a weird choice.

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,159
Here's a little bit of Tom Brady.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: I do have a few words for you before I

52
00:02:56,439 --> 00:03:02,879
returned to my affairs in Las Vegas. Oh wait, I'm

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,639
talking about affairs in Las Vegas.

54
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Was that off?

55
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: I'm not supposed to talk about affairs in Vegas. I

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,280
think I broke another rule.

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,199
Speaker 2: One line I did like was Brady ripped the dais

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,680
saying it wouldn't be a Kevin Hart project unless it

59
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:20,800
was a crappy sequel. I mean, no star power at all.

60
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:25,159
Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson, Tony Hinchcliffe and those were

61
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:27,520
the big names. I mean, I'm just not feeling this

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080
thing at all. All right, Shane comes back out, does a

63
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,319
longer set here, and I think he kind of ate

64
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,120
it again. But I did like this line.

65
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,879
Speaker 1: We're all here to honor Kevin Hart, and what a

66
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,240
better way to do that than to take a paycheck

67
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,520
while pretending to have fun.

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: Shane did get in some good shots about Kevin Hart

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,599
playing the Riodd Comedy Festival. Shane said he himself turned

70
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:52,919
down the Riodd Comedy Festival to honor the brave firefighters

71
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,560
who lost their lives that day, Right, Pete, that was

72
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,520
kind of a nice job. Jeff Ross comes out, it's

73
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,199
already eight twenty six and the energy's out of the

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520
room in my opinion, by the time Jeff Ross comes out.

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,680
He came out dressed in an Eddie Murphy's style red

76
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:10,080
outfitted to the music of axel f. Here's a little

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Jeff Ross.

78
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,599
Speaker 4: We've been friends a long time, but the world first

79
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:17,360
fell in love with you when Michael Jackson dangled you

80
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:18,399
over that balcony.

81
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:24,759
Speaker 2: Jeff had a couple quick riffs, he said, Kevin put

82
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,720
the elf in Philadelphia. He also called him Eddie Smurphy.

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279
Jeff's set was pretty strong. He also had a joke

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,000
about Pete Davidson only banging nines and eleven's. I like

85
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,000
that one a lot. The next person up was Niam Win,

86
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,800
not exactly a household name. Mister Wynn explained he has

87
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,879
a show on bet thought the material was pretty good,

88
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
but it was already eight thirty seven at that point,

89
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,480
and I hadn't been really laughing all that much. I

90
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:51,439
was just kind of like, okay, Winn did ask where

91
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,160
Dave Chappelle was good. Point Chelsea Handler was next. She

92
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160
was good, but I thought her set was really long,

93
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,680
and then Lizzo came out. During Lizzell, I was like,

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,480
you know what, I'm tired. I'm not feeling this and

95
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,519
I don't feel like chasing this thing to eleven o'clock.

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Sometimes you just have to punt. So maybe you all disagree.

97
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,360
Maybe the rest of the night got more amazing, and

98
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,079
I'll be eating crow on Tuesday's podcast. But as I

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,120
speak to you at nine five pm Sunday night, not

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,600
feeling the roast of Kevin Hart at all. Very interesting though, that,

101
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,360
like who didn't come? You know, some of those names

102
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,079
that I had thrown out speculating on Sunday's program, and

103
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,319
you know, and people not showing up for Kevin. I

104
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,399
don't know what to make of that. Another thing that

105
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:36,839
caught my eye on Sunday, Bloomberg dropped an article just

106
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,279
like I saw it on social media, like an hour

107
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,959
before the roast of Kevin Hart. The headline inside a

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,759
year of chaos and conflict at Kevin Hart's media company.

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Now to drop this on a Sunday is a choice.

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,639
Please understand that that's a choice, Lucas Shaw writes. When

111
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Kevin Hart announced in January that he'd licensed his name

112
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800
to Authentic Brands Group, the popular comedian was silence on

113
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,000
a key detail, the future of his name's media company.

114
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,000
Skipping around the article, Heart's employees say they worry that

115
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,879
the deal marks the beginning of the end of Heartbeat.

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,920
Once valued at about six hundred and fifty million dollars,

117
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Heartbeat has shriveled over the past few years. The company

118
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680
enacted its latest round of job cuts in December, firing

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,959
the heads of its scripted TV division, as well as

120
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,040
employees working across marketing, social media, and brand partnerships. The

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,199
article then walks through several acquisitions and people leaving the company.

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,240
The article ends telling us about an email sent by

123
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Kevin Hart's assistant, in which Kevin Hart says, I know

124
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,040
the past few months have been tough, and Kevin apparently

125
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,040
added that for too long the company had been too

126
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,399
dependent on him. The email was said to be signed

127
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:44,000
by Kevin aka boss Man, as I said, interesting timing

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,160
to drop that on a Sunday afternoon. That is a choice.

129
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,759
Stephen Colbert, now into his last two weeks, Tonight should

130
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,360
be a really good episode. He will interview Jimmy Fallon,

131
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,360
Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, and John Oliver. That's right, Strikeforce

132
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,240
five is reuniting. You may recall those gentlemen during the

133
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:05,399
sag AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes did the Strike Force

134
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,759
five podcasts together. Proceeds from that podcast went towards supporting

135
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,439
the crew members of the respective shows. I guess it

136
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,399
all works out. Kimmel Intown for the upfronts, Jimmy Fallon

137
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,839
already in New York City, Seth Myers, and John Oliver

138
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,000
already in New York City. So should be a good

139
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,519
Late Show tonight. The original host of The Late Show,

140
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:25,120
David Letterman, will be Stephen Colbert's guest on May fourteenth,

141
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,560
which is Thursday. From jimbands dot Com, You're home for

142
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:33,319
Jimband News. John mullaney calls Bruce Hornsby's Indigo Park the

143
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,519
best album of the year. Now, if you're listening to

144
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:37,399
the other day, when my dog came by and the

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,519
dog wanted to go for a walk. I went for

146
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,480
a walk and listened to Indigo Park. Based on John

147
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:45,399
Mlanie's suggestion, it's not the best album of the year,

148
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:48,160
but it's pretty good. It is sonically interesting. I kind

149
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,800
of like that Bruce Hornsby under sings it. The first

150
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,639
two tracks the last track are really good and there's

151
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,000
one with North Carolina in the title that are really good.

152
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,319
The rest of the album is hit and miss, but

153
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,319
it really goes for it. A donkey charity has named

154
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:03,360
a newborn fall after Ricky Gervais. Ricky Gervas donated one

155
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,000
hundred thousand British pounds to help Safe Haven for Donkeys.

156
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,120
Save Haven for Donkeys was one of twenty two animal

157
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:14,120
charities that benefited from Ricky Gervay's Christmas donations over two

158
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,120
and a half million British pounds. Save Haven for Donkeys

159
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,879
cares for working donkeys in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza

160
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,680
and parts of Egypt. They've been treating thousands of donkeys

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,959
in the Gaza strip, where a lack of fuel has

162
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,279
forced people to rely on donkeys as their main form

163
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,839
of transport. A tiny foal named Jervaise was born at

164
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:34,919
the charity sanctuary in Israel on April nineteenth. Jervy's mother, Deborah,

165
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,000
was found abandoned in southern Israel in September and was

166
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,879
around two years old and was seven months pregnant when found.

167
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:45,120
A local woman contacted Safe Haven for Donkeys. The charity

168
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,559
transported at Deborah to their sanctuary in Israel. Andy Foxcroft

169
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
is the chief executive of Safe Haven and said, Jervaise

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,519
the donkey is full of life at already showing off

171
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:56,799
her first teeth. She's brought so much joy to the

172
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,960
team and as a tiny symbol of hope this world

173
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Donkey Day, Debora could have given birth alone after being abandoned. Instead,

174
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,080
she was safe, watched over and cared for in Jerves

175
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:08,200
has had the start every full deserved. Now some more

176
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,399
donkey facts. The sanctuary team had hoped that Theodora, another

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,639
rescue donkey and a companion of Debora, might act as

178
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,000
an aunty to the new arrival. You see in the wild,

179
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:21,200
new mothers sometimes accept help from another female donkey. Theodora

180
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,480
initially stayed close by Zebra and Jervase. However, Debra seems

181
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:29,000
to prefer caring for Jerves on her own. Billboard put

182
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,960

million dollars. Here's an email I say from a week ago.

195
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,240
Remember I told you that just for laughs, decided to

196
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,320
announce a bunch of shows during Netflix week. Not sure

197
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,399
that was the best strategy, but hey, I love those

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960

00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,360
this fall and early twenty twenty seven, so more of

219
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,759
a traditional schedule there. Twelve episodes have been ordered. Snl

220
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,320
UK executive producer Loren Michaels said, I'm incredibly proud of

221
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,360
our team in the show. It keeps getting better every week.

222
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,559
I'm grateful to Dana Strong and Sky for believing in

223
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:31,720
and supporting snl UK. I'm excited for the season ahead.

224
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:36,360
Diana Strong is the Sky CEO. The series started with

225
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,159
two hundred and twenty six thousand viewers for episode one,

226
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:42,399
hosted by Tina Fay. Jack Whitehall had the lowest numbers

227
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:44,600
of the season up until the time of this recording,

228
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,679
with one hundred and nineteen thousand, five hundred and forty viewers. Boy,

229
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,320
that's like Seth Meyers Territory. Seems like the show settling

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,000
in at around one hundred and forty thousand. However, on

231
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:58,720
social media, the Prince Andrew cold open from episode two

232
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,679
has two point four million views, and a cold open

233
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,279
with King Charles and Queen Camilla has one point seven.

234
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Royal Family is where It's at. Everybody, good time to

235
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,320
plug the Palace Intrigue podcast. We talk about the Royal

236
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,919
Family twice every day and I'm the writer on that.

237
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,840
Check that out. Diane Morgan, who some people think I

238
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,200
have a crush on and I was thinking about this

239
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,799
the other day let's say I had a crush on

240
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:21,960
Diane Morgan. Now, first of all, I'm married, But putting

241
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,600
that aside, well, what do you even say to Diane Morgan? Hi,

242
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:26,600
I really like when you do kunk and I host

243
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:29,799
a podcast in my basement. I have no game. Diane Morgan,

244
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,000
who some people say I have a crush on, is

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,759

new word Droid get it, no premier day yet, but

247
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Anne Droid tackles AI in everyday life, exploring how far

248
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,919
society will go and replacing people with tech and droid

249
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,200
centers on an elderly woman and a humanoid care robot.

250
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:53,720
You see, Sue's husband David passed away eighteen months ago

251
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,879
and her only son, Michael, is moving out to try

252
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:58,159
and fix his marriage. But the good news is he

253
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,559
got Sue a surprise to help her live in independently.

254
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:04,320
And that is a second hand Anne Droid Z fifty

258
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,039
works out that she can use the Droids her benefit

259
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,159
in settling scores and doing the things her son never

260
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,159
gets around to. Diane Morgan is ann droid. I'll watch.

261
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,879
James Austin Johnson will be touring right after SNL wraps

262
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,279
up the new season this weekend with Will Ferrell and

263
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,279
musical guest Paul McCartney. Is it Lauren's farewell or is

264
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,039
it just a really good host and a really good

265
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,000
musical guest. We'll find out. James Austin Johnson playing New

266
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,600
York City, Dallas, Uncasville, Connecticut. That's a casino, Red Hook,

267
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:47,679
New York, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, four shows in

various North Carolina's, Philly, Indianapolis, Chicago, Richmond Heights, Missouri, Pittsburgh,

269
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:55,879
and wraps it up in Nashville. I cannot imagine he

270
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:59,720
will not be back for the new season of SNL. Emily,

271
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,679
she was a guest on this program. She's gone viral.

272
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,120
A video of a nurse springing into action when a

273
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,639
patron passed out at Emily Canilano's show has gone viral.

274
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,840
In the clip, Emily Catilano asked an audience member what

275
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:14,519
their occupation in ann Arbor was. The audience member said

276
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,240
they were nurse. Seconds later, a man passes out and

277
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,279
falls to the ground. The nurse offered medical advice and

278
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,399
called nine to one to one. Emily Catilano moved to

279
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,320
the side, and the social media clip has added music

280
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,799
from TV series The Pit to make it more dramatic.

281
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,759
Catilano joked, I hate when people steal the attention away

282
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:35,799
from me. Gossip Connor whispers in the street, gossip corn,

283
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,320
probably about Pete.

284
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: Gossip conn where the rumors meeting with Johnny Mackett's always

285
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:47,039
a tree. Gossip Connor whispers this tree gossip cone probably

286
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:51,440
gossip gone where the room is meeting with John mccot's

287
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,519
always a tree.

288
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: Gossip corner is about Pete. Pete Davidson. Boy, I'm starting

289
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,840
to think if you want to invest in stuff, don't

290
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,240
listen to Pete Davidson. He's trying to sell this house

291
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,320
in Westchester. Reelzer dot com says Pete has decreased the

292
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:10,480
asking price again. Weeks after elicited it for two point

293
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:13,679
seven million dollars, He's now dropped it by another one

294
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,519
to twenty five. So if you would like to buy

295
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:19,120
Pete Davidson's home, it is now going for two point

296
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,000
one point five million dollars. Fox is holding their upfronts today.

297
00:15:23,679 --> 00:15:27,039
Bad news for Dennis Leary. Going Dutch was the lowest

298
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:31,399
rated entertainment program at Fox. According to Deadline. However, Dennis

299
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,080
Leary is well liked internally, so they thought about renewing

300
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,600
the lowest rated entertainment program at Fox. But Sanner has

301
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:40,600
prevailed and no more Going Dutch. You may recall, or

302
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,000
you probably don't, because no one watched this thing. Dennis

303
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,960
Leary played US Army Colonel Patrick Quinn, who was reassigned

304
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,159
to the Netherlands, where he was punished with a command

305
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:52,200
position at the least strategic army base in the world.

306
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,360
Of course, it worked out that his daughter, Captain Maggie

307
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,559
worked there. Shockingly, not renewed. To better news for Joel McHale,

308
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,679
Animal Control will come back. If you're joning for comedy festivals,

309
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,200
The Boston Fringe Festival kicks off tonight. Forty acts around

310
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,720
the city during this week. Not just stand up, they

311
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,600
will also be clowning, magic and musical parody. Co founder

312
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,720
Debbie Jondie said, Boston is such a huge comedy scene

313
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,960
in comedy community, but we do allocate space for musicals

314
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,279
and specifically for like variety shows, magic or something that's different.

315
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,039
Comedy is the most specific slots, but we did make

316
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,960
sure to keep a variety, so we're not just doing

317
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,919
a comedy festival. The co founder said they haven't seen

318
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,919
any of the acts except for the two that they're doing,

319
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,200
so outside of those two, we have no idea what's

320
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,039
coming that's fun. I'm still picking away. At this Deadline

321
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,440
interview with the Netflix of Folks, I saved some of

322
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,519
the stuff that was not a festival related for this week.

323
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,720
Deadline asked head of Comedy Robbie pra why we've seen

324
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,360
a dwindling of projects like Verified stand Up, which served

325
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,440
as a showcase for young stand ups. Robbie Pros said,

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,639
the honest answer is it's tough to get the viewership.

327
00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:59,000
When we did the stand ups the first season of it,

328
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:00,639
I think it's eight or nine year years ago, the

329
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,720
numbers were massive and if you look who was on it,

330
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,200
it was Naperghatzy, Nikki Glazer, Fortune Fimester, Dion Cole. But

331
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:09,599
we quite frankly stop seeing great numbers for that. We

332
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,079
want opportunities like that to be really winning for stand

333
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,640
ups and if they're not going to work on other

334
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,680
ways of finding the opportunities. We ended up doing more

335
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,160
freshman specials for people like Derek Stroup, and that's how

336
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,400
we're getting it done now, less in the multi comic way.

337
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,319
I think that's all fair. Deadline asked what's the importance

338
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,519
of comedy to the company. Robbie pro said, the festival

339
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,799
is a great example of a manifestation of that because

340
00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:31,799
you have people who maybe they did a Netflix special

341
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:33,920
four years ago, maybe the last specials on YouTube or

342
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,039
Hulu or Amazon or Hbo, but at the festivals, these

343
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:39,519
things are still playing on Netflix. So I think it

344
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,839
feels great that even when folks do projects somewhere else,

345
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:43,880
to a lot of these artists, this still always feels

346
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,559
like part of their home, which is a pretty cool thing.

347
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:48,960
Deadline asked do you have any predictions for the comedy

348
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,640
marketplace in the next three to five years. Robbie Pross said,

349
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,480
I think it's going to continue to be really strong.

350
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,400
We've seen the artists that are emerging. It's pretty exciting.

351
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,079
We used to talk years ago about is this a boom?

352
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,559
I think comedy is just part of the culture. I

353
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:03,640
think things ebb and flow. I think comedy movies are

354
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,400
going to come back in a big way. And that

355
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:08,279
is your comedy news for today. I will catch you

356
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:08,880
tomorrow
