Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Dave Chappelle was at Lincoln Center. They
Speaker 1: were celebrating Duke Ellington's one hundred and twenty fifth birthday.
Speaker 1: Now you might be like, why was Dave Chappelle there.
Speaker 1: You may recall he attended Duke Ellington's School of the
Speaker 1: Arts in Washington, d C. And they were honoring him
Speaker 1: a few years back. Chappelle said of Lincoln Center, man,
Speaker 1: you never thought you'd see me an event like this,
Speaker 1: But he talked about the school and said that school profoundly, profoundly,
Speaker 1: profoundly changed my life. Duke Ellington was a guy who
Speaker 1: traveled all around the world just based off his talent
Speaker 1: and his kids. We knew that it was possible, just
Speaker 1: because his energy was in the air. The New York
Speaker 1: Times says Chappelle mostly stuck to the teleprompter, but threw
Speaker 1: in a few ad libs, including you can't get one
Speaker 1: of the greatest comedians in the world to just read
Speaker 1: a teleprompter. And then he talked about a certain politician
Speaker 1: and said, it's up to us. We got to keep
Speaker 1: this tradition alive. This is one of the best things
Speaker 1: we got going in America here saying I got to
Speaker 1: make jazz great again. To send your letters to Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 1: I've been mentioning a few times during this admittedly slow
Speaker 1: newsweek that Nicki Glazer is the gift who keeps on giving.
Speaker 1: If you need another story, you type Nicki Glazer into
Speaker 1: Google and you never know what shows up. She weighed
Speaker 1: in on this whole Bill Belichick girlfriend thing, because of
Speaker 1: course she did. But what's even stranger to me is
Speaker 1: she was responding to an Instagram post by the Dudes
Speaker 1: on Dudes podcast, which I didn't know Nicki Glazer was
Speaker 1: a fan of the dudes From Dudes on Dudes are
Speaker 1: two guys that used to play for the Patriots, specifically
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. Even if you're a casual
Speaker 1: football fan, you've probably at least heard of Gronk. These
Speaker 1: are like some serious Patriots, so they would know Bill Belichick,
Speaker 1: Edelman said of Belichick's girlfriend, she was jumping into that
Speaker 1: conversation during the interview, just like any PR person would
Speaker 1: jump in when there's an unnecessary question that they probably
Speaker 1: didn't go over in the pre production meeting, Gronkowski said, Yep,
Speaker 1: she's become his rep on top of being a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Nicki Glazer chimed in on the instagram in the comments
Speaker 1: and said one percent this she's acting as his publicist.
Speaker 1: Publicists do this during interviews. People are out for blood.
Speaker 1: A strange note from John Mulaney's show has made the news.
Speaker 1: Have you seen this thing on social media all week?
Speaker 1: Could one hundred men fight one gorilla? It's been going
Speaker 1: around online, Mulaney said had prompted a debate and our
Speaker 1: writer's room about whether three fourteen year old boys could
Speaker 1: beat up me John Mullaney. Mullanie has now vowed to
Speaker 1: fight three fourteen year old boys. On the season finale
Speaker 1: on May twenty eighth, Mlani asked, is this legal so far?
Speaker 1: We think so. It's not assault. We know that, and
Speaker 1: we're vetting every step of it. I've been led to
Speaker 1: believe that it's for TV. It's a lawful practice. Now,
Speaker 1: Millennie doesn't seem like the toughest guy in the world,
Speaker 1: but then again, he also didn't seem like he had
Speaker 1: a drug problem, So maybe he's secretly ripped and secretly tough. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've raised any suns. Three fourteen
Speaker 1: year old boys could be quite physically imposing. I'm going
Speaker 1: to bet a dollar on the three fourteen year old
Speaker 1: boys beating up John Mullaney if they actually do this thing.
Speaker 1: Sophie Buttle talked about writing monolog for Taylor Tomlinson's show.
Speaker 1: During the audition process, they apparently told Sophie the monologu
Speaker 1: should be about a page, and if it takes you
Speaker 1: more than an hour or two to write a page,
Speaker 1: you're wrong for the job. Sophie said, I banged it
Speaker 1: out really fast, and Taylor and I went and hung out.
Speaker 1: As plan. The next morning, I flew out to a
Speaker 1: comedy festival. When I landed, my manager has scheduled a zoom.
Speaker 1: I got to the hotel and we had a meeting
Speaker 1: with the head writer, the EP some other folks. They
Speaker 1: decided they wanted to hire me. I had to leave
Speaker 1: the comedy festival early so that I could start that Monday.
Speaker 1: She explained how long it takes to write a first draft. Technically,
Speaker 1: our day starts at eight thirty am. We get a
Speaker 1: research packet with a bunch of online trends and options
Speaker 1: to write jokes about, and I have to be done
Speaker 1: with the draft by ten. On Wednesday, they taped two episodes. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's the thing, people do. I know one guy who's
Speaker 1: taping Friday and Saturday in this session right now. Wednesdays
Speaker 1: is our double tape day, so I have to do
Speaker 1: two monologue drafts between eight thirty and ten, and those
Speaker 1: are much harder. I use the full amount of time
Speaker 1: on single tape days, so it feels like a truly
Speaker 1: great feed of human willpower to get two done. Nay
Speaker 1: Brighetzi told The New York Times, I don't plan on
Speaker 1: touring doing stand up forever. I want to make movies.
Speaker 1: People can think if you get too big, are you're
Speaker 1: gonna change? The audience is very much in mind with
Speaker 1: everything that I will make again, I try not to
Speaker 1: do it for me. It's for you. I want them,
Speaker 1: the audience, to be able to trust that keep coming
Speaker 1: and see that I'm trying to do something a little
Speaker 1: against the green right now. When I started in comedy,
Speaker 1: some comics would be like, well, I'm not for everybody,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, well, why do you want to
Speaker 1: not be for everybody? Nate has been saying the next
Speaker 1: special will be on Netflix, and I could see maybe
Speaker 1: one more special after that. I don't want to overstay
Speaker 1: my welcome. I also want to get out of the way.
Speaker 1: I need to let the next wave comedians come up.
Speaker 1: I got this tour and then maybe one more. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I'll believe that when it happens. John Stuart, he's in
Speaker 1: a band, and the Asbury Park Press said they play
Speaker 1: it on Monday night, Church and State TM is Rick
Speaker 1: Barry on vocals, Andy Bova on guzar, Jim Bova on
Speaker 1: bass and John Stewart on the drums. Apparently they were
Speaker 1: at Georgie's Bar on Monday night. Stuart joked from the stage,
Speaker 1: we know almost eight songs tonight you get to hear
Speaker 1: seven of them. John was also confused and said, you guys,
Speaker 1: don't put the Daily Show on at eleven. I drove
Speaker 1: here straight from the show. This is embarrassing. Tina Fay
Speaker 1: worries that people actually believe she's remaking The Golden Girls
Speaker 1: with Amy Poehler and told those folks go to a
Speaker 1: hospital now, no offense. Tina fe and Amy Poehler, it's
Speaker 1: actually a great idea. You guys would crush it. Can't
Speaker 1: you make like eight of them? For Netflix, just do
Speaker 1: it and be done. There's a fake image floating around.
Speaker 1: It features Amy Pohler, Maya Rudolph, Lisa Kudro and Tina
Speaker 1: Fay as the Golden Girls. Tina told Entertainment Tonight, Oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know about this. I liked that it was
Speaker 1: fooling people like, why would we ever take a picture
Speaker 1: where Amy and Lusakudro in costume? But we are not.
Speaker 1: If this fooled you, you might be a boomer. And
Speaker 1: if you're gen X and this fooled you, go to
Speaker 1: a hospital. The Great American Comedy Festival comes to Norfolk, Nebraska, Friday,

Speaker 1: singer and a famous comedian? About two hundred million dollars.
