00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>daily comedy news. Dave Chappelle was at Lincoln Center. They

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>were celebrating Duke Ellington's one hundred and twenty fifth birthday.

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Now you might be like, why was Dave Chappelle there.

5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>You may recall he attended Duke Ellington's School of the

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Arts in Washington, d C. And they were honoring him

7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>a few years back. Chappelle said of Lincoln Center, man,

8
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you never thought you'd see me an event like this,

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 1>But he talked about the school and said that school profoundly, profoundly,

10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>profoundly changed my life. Duke Ellington was a guy who

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>traveled all around the world just based off his talent

12
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>and his kids. We knew that it was possible, just

13
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>because his energy was in the air. The New York

14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Times says Chappelle mostly stuck to the teleprompter, but threw

15
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>in a few ad libs, including you can't get one

16
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest comedians in the world to just read

17
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a teleprompter. And then he talked about a certain politician

18
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>and said, it's up to us. We got to keep

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 1>this tradition alive. This is one of the best things

20
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>we got going in America here saying I got to

21
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>make jazz great again. To send your letters to Dave Chappelle.

22
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I've been mentioning a few times during this admittedly slow

23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>newsweek that Nicki Glazer is the gift who keeps on giving.

24
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 1>If you need another story, you type Nicki Glazer into

25
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Google and you never know what shows up. She weighed

26
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>in on this whole Bill Belichick girlfriend thing, because of

27
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>course she did. But what's even stranger to me is

28
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>she was responding to an Instagram post by the Dudes

29
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>on Dudes podcast, which I didn't know Nicki Glazer was

30
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>a fan of the dudes From Dudes on Dudes are

31
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>two guys that used to play for the Patriots, specifically

32
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. Even if you're a casual

33
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 1>football fan, you've probably at least heard of Gronk. These

34
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 1>are like some serious Patriots, so they would know Bill Belichick,

35
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Edelman said of Belichick's girlfriend, she was jumping into that

36
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation during the interview, just like any PR person would

37
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>jump in when there's an unnecessary question that they probably

38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't go over in the pre production meeting, Gronkowski said, Yep,

39
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>she's become his rep on top of being a girlfriend.

40
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Nicki Glazer chimed in on the instagram in the comments

41
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and said one percent this she's acting as his publicist.

42
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Publicists do this during interviews. People are out for blood.

43
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 1>A strange note from John Mulaney's show has made the news.

44
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen this thing on social media all week?

45
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Could one hundred men fight one gorilla? It's been going

46
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>around online, Mulaney said had prompted a debate and our

47
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 1>writer's room about whether three fourteen year old boys could

48
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>beat up me John Mullaney. Mullanie has now vowed to

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>fight three fourteen year old boys. On the season finale

50
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>on May twenty eighth, Mlani asked, is this legal so far?

51
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>We think so. It's not assault. We know that, and

52
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 1>we're vetting every step of it. I've been led to

53
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>believe that it's for TV. It's a lawful practice. Now,

54
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Millennie doesn't seem like the toughest guy in the world,

55
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>but then again, he also didn't seem like he had

56
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 1>a drug problem, So maybe he's secretly ripped and secretly tough. Now.

57
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've raised any suns. Three fourteen

58
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>year old boys could be quite physically imposing. I'm going

59
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to bet a dollar on the three fourteen year old

60
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>boys beating up John Mullaney if they actually do this thing.

61
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Sophie Buttle talked about writing monolog for Taylor Tomlinson's show.

62
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>During the audition process, they apparently told Sophie the monologu

63
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>should be about a page, and if it takes you

64
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>more than an hour or two to write a page,

65
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.719
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong for the job. Sophie said, I banged it

66
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>out really fast, and Taylor and I went and hung out.

67
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>As plan. The next morning, I flew out to a

68
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>comedy festival. When I landed, my manager has scheduled a zoom.

69
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I got to the hotel and we had a meeting

70
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>with the head writer, the EP some other folks. They

71
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>decided they wanted to hire me. I had to leave

72
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 1>the comedy festival early so that I could start that Monday.

73
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 1>She explained how long it takes to write a first draft. Technically,

74
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>our day starts at eight thirty am. We get a

75
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 1>research packet with a bunch of online trends and options

76
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to write jokes about, and I have to be done

77
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>with the draft by ten. On Wednesday, they taped two episodes. Hey,

78
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing, people do. I know one guy who's

79
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 1>taping Friday and Saturday in this session right now. Wednesdays

80
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 1>is our double tape day, so I have to do

81
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 1>two monologue drafts between eight thirty and ten, and those

82
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>are much harder. I use the full amount of time

83
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>on single tape days, so it feels like a truly

84
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>great feed of human willpower to get two done. Nay

85
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Brighetzi told The New York Times, I don't plan on

86
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>touring doing stand up forever. I want to make movies.

87
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>People can think if you get too big, are you're

88
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna change? The audience is very much in mind with

89
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>everything that I will make again, I try not to

90
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>do it for me. It's for you. I want them,

91
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the audience, to be able to trust that keep coming

92
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and see that I'm trying to do something a little

93
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>against the green right now. When I started in comedy,

94
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>some comics would be like, well, I'm not for everybody,

95
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be like, well, why do you want to

96
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>not be for everybody? Nate has been saying the next

97
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>special will be on Netflix, and I could see maybe

98
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>one more special after that. I don't want to overstay

99
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 1>my welcome. I also want to get out of the way.

100
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I need to let the next wave comedians come up.

101
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I got this tour and then maybe one more. We'll see.

102
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll believe that when it happens. John Stuart, he's in

103
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a band, and the Asbury Park Press said they play

104
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>it on Monday night, Church and State TM is Rick

105
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Barry on vocals, Andy Bova on guzar, Jim Bova on

106
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>bass and John Stewart on the drums. Apparently they were

107
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>at Georgie's Bar on Monday night. Stuart joked from the stage,

108
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 1>we know almost eight songs tonight you get to hear

109
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>seven of them. John was also confused and said, you guys,

110
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>don't put the Daily Show on at eleven. I drove

111
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>here straight from the show. This is embarrassing. Tina Fay

112
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>worries that people actually believe she's remaking The Golden Girls

113
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 1>with Amy Poehler and told those folks go to a

114
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>hospital now, no offense. Tina fe and Amy Poehler, it's

115
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>actually a great idea. You guys would crush it. Can't

116
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you make like eight of them? For Netflix, just do

117
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it and be done. There's a fake image floating around.

118
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It features Amy Pohler, Maya Rudolph, Lisa Kudro and Tina

119
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Fay as the Golden Girls. Tina told Entertainment Tonight, Oh,

120
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know about this. I liked that it was

121
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>fooling people like, why would we ever take a picture

122
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>where Amy and Lusakudro in costume? But we are not.

123
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 1>If this fooled you, you might be a boomer. And

124
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>if you're gen X and this fooled you, go to

125
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a hospital. The Great American Comedy Festival comes to Norfolk, Nebraska, Friday,

159
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Simon Gibson's The Wizard's Boy out today from a Special

160
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Thing Records, And I've got one more John Clees thing

161
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that I saved because you know, you like like a

162
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>little fun, kicker story at the end of the podcast,

163
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 1>leave everybody with a smile. It's kind of the format works, right.

164
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the format is like big names at the front,

165
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>then talk about like some comedy festival overseas, kind of

166
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. At the end, I try and leave

167
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it with a smile. Let's how this works. You've caught

168
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>onto this, yes, John Cleese. It's an old brade magazine.

169
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>The Third Wife got two properties. One was in London

170
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and one was in New York, and we had to

171
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>sell the other three. What's the difference between a famous

172
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 1>singer and a famous comedian? About two hundred million dollars.

173
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 1>If you lose your nest egg at seventy, there's not

174
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 1>much alternative to constantly working. I could have married somebody rich.

175
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And that is your comedy news for today. Boy, I

176
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 1>bet you can't wait to hear that Tom Sigoris story.

177
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't wait. Well, I'm about to read it,

178
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>but you can't hear it until tomorrow because I pre
