Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. I love when a show comes together.
Speaker 1: I thought at one point I had nothing for today,
Speaker 1: and boy, did this come together. I've even got a
Speaker 1: story that's got me all fired up for the second half.
Speaker 1: And Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the headline I love this one. Comic
Speaker 1: rips nice guy Nateperghatzy for partying with fascists. It's w
Speaker 1: come out Bell, and he is among the people not
Speaker 1: happy with Nate Berghatzy. Belle put out a substack post
Speaker 1: on Monday with the title it is so easy not
Speaker 1: to do this. It comes with a suggested list of
Speaker 1: rules to follow for those who are quote confused when
Speaker 1: they are judged for their own actions. Bell writes, the
Speaker 1: rules are so simple, people seem to forget them so often,
Speaker 1: so I've decided to write them out. The easiest way
Speaker 1: to not be photographed with fascists is not to go
Speaker 1: to places where fascists coagulate. If you do go to
Speaker 1: out to a place where fascists are coagulating, then you
Speaker 1: better have a good reason, like a John Brown and
Speaker 1: Glorious Bastard's good reason. Bell writes, no one cares on
Speaker 1: much you wanted to see the fights at the White House.
Speaker 1: The White House is currently registered as the home of
Speaker 1: a fascist. Again, send your letters to w comeout. Bell.
Speaker 1: The only reason Donald Trump loves the UFC is because
Speaker 1: UFC CEO Dana White runs the UFC just like Trump
Speaker 1: wants to run the country like a dictatorship. Bell continues,
Speaker 1: Stop being surprised when people who think you are a
Speaker 1: nice person are totally mummed out when you reveal yourself
Speaker 1: to be team fascism. You were smarter than that. If not,
Speaker 1: then go back to the top and reread this list again.
Speaker 1: Bell continues, Look, I get it. I've been in some
Speaker 1: pictures with people I regret. The difference is I regret
Speaker 1: being in those pictures. He then shared a photo with
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan from twenty fourteen. Speaking of Rogan, Rogan tell
Speaker 1: the story from backstage at the UFC event. Rogan was
Speaker 1: a little stressed there could be some terror at the event.
Speaker 1: Quoting Rogan, I said to Trump, I go, I hope
Speaker 1: we don't die in a terrorist attack, and he goes,
Speaker 1: we gotta go somehow, Rogan said, I go, what the
Speaker 1: f do Carlos Mencia his attorneys demanded his immediate release
Speaker 1: from bail. They fired an emergency motion. You may recall
Speaker 1: Carlo Simancia was arrested at his home. LA County District
Speaker 1: Attorney Nathan Hotchman had announced a twelve count felony tax
Speaker 1: emission against Carlos Mencia and branded him quote one of
Speaker 1: California's biggest tax scoff laws. In a motion file to
Speaker 1: set bail, the defense accused the prosecutors of turning a
Speaker 1: financial dispute into a publicity stunt designers showcase the district
Speaker 1: Attorney's new unit. The motion was obtained by the California
Speaker 1: Post that's the West Coast spinoff of the New York Post,
Speaker 1: and apparently it reads that no one argues against the
Speaker 1: obligation to pay taxes, but the raid at his home
Speaker 1: with multiple law enforcement agents screaming search warrant with a
Speaker 1: bullhorn and drawing guns was an absurd show of force
Speaker 1: for the alleged offenses that do not involve weapons, drugs,
Speaker 1: or violence. They also said that Mencia's incarceration was inflicting
Speaker 1: severe financial Harmy had to cancel a few comedy shows
Speaker 1: that may have cost him as much as forty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in lost income. They argued that Carlos Mencia is
Speaker 1: not a flight risk. They submitted character letters from longtime friends,
Speaker 1: one of which is Nicole Nicky Rosensen, who worked with
Speaker 1: Carlos Mencia on the comedy Central Mind of Mencia. Rosenson wrote,
Speaker 1: it is important to me that Carlos's character is not
Speaker 1: reduced to a singular thing. He's a loving father and
Speaker 1: a loyal, kind friend. Roywood Junior will be in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: this weekend at the Dve Comedy Festival. He's hoping to
Speaker 1: catch the first four innings of the Saturday four o'clock
Speaker 1: Pirates game before his eight o'clock comedy show. He said,
Speaker 1: the plans to catch a few innings even if Skeens
Speaker 1: isn't pitching. My debate in Pittsburgh is always rested versus recreation.
Speaker 1: There's so much fun stuff to do there. Talked about
Speaker 1: his time at the Daily Show. It was a good time.
Speaker 1: I didn't get the pleasure of getting to work under
Speaker 1: John Stewart, so I can't speak to whatever the workflow
Speaker 1: is over there now, but just to be able to
Speaker 1: be part of building some degree of awareness of what's
Speaker 1: happening in the world and try to inform people. I
Speaker 1: think you take that a little seriously. Michael Jay announced
Speaker 1: a new stand up special he posted on Instagram. He
Speaker 1: told his followers He'll be promoting a stand up special
Speaker 1: in like two months. But I don't really do a
Speaker 1: lot of press. So what are the platforms that people
Speaker 1: f with now? Late Nier says. Then came a process
Speaker 1: of elimination, with Chay writing Rogan's finish right, Shannon Sharp
Speaker 1: probably just gonna ask me about other people the train one,
Speaker 1: I already did hot ones. What's the new hot platform
Speaker 1: pairaphrasing there. This would be Michael Cha's first special since
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one's Michael Cha Shamed the Devil, which, if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, was Okay, okay, this is the one
Speaker 1: that's got me a little fired up. Johnny Max's gonna
Speaker 1: get a little political here. Send your letters to Johnny Mack.
Speaker 1: In an interview with The Financial Times, former Disney CEO
Speaker 1: Bob Iger commented about when they took Jimmy Kimmel off
Speaker 1: the air after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Was that
Speaker 1: move politically motivated? Iiger says that was not the case.
Speaker 1: We thought it was in bad taste. Johnny Mack says, sure,
Speaker 1: Jan okay, let me set up the table for you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to replay what Kimmel actually said, but let
Speaker 1: me set up the table for you. Let me remind
Speaker 1: everybody on September tenth, Charlie Kirk was murdered. On September eleventh,
Speaker 1: The New York Daily News quotes Elon Musk, who you
Speaker 1: may recall, was working on something called douge. Elon Musk tweeted,
Speaker 1: the left is the party of murder. ABC News September
Speaker 1: fourteenth reported on Republican Senator Lindsey Graham appearing on Meet
Speaker 1: the Press. They quote Graham is saying he saw Kirk's
Speaker 1: murder as quote, an effort by the radical left to
Speaker 1: dehumanize the Mega movement. Now, in this new piece, Bob
Speaker 1: Iger says, of Jimmy Kimmel, we just wanted him to
Speaker 1: acknowledge that it was an ill timed and probably inappropriate comment.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to what Jimmy Kimmel actually said, and remember
Speaker 1: the two quotes that I just read to you. And
Speaker 1: here is a longer clip from Jimmy Kimmel that puts
Speaker 1: the line in context.
Speaker 2: We hit some new lows over the weekend with the
Speaker 2: Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and
Speaker 2: do everything they can to score political points from and
Speaker 2: in between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday,
Speaker 2: the White House flew the flags at half staff, which
Speaker 2: got some criticism, but on a human level, you can
Speaker 2: see how hard the President is taking this back.
Speaker 1: Indulge it down a lot of your friend Charlie Kirk
Speaker 1: mans Sir, personally, how are you holding up over the
Speaker 1: last day and a half, sir, I think very good.
Speaker 1: And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.
Speaker 1: They've just started construction of the new borrel for the
Speaker 1: White House. Send your letters to Johnny Mac David Letterman fans,
Speaker 1: we are excited. Worldwide Pants is teaming up with NBC
Speaker 1: Universal and whatever mrzigo is to expand distribution of more
Speaker 1: than six thousand episodes of Letterman on YouTube, Facebook and

Speaker 1: most of that from the Late night years, Walter Kim said,
Speaker 1: As we continue to expand our distribution from these iconic
Speaker 1: moments on YouTube and Facebook, partnering with Mrzigo will enable
Speaker 1: us to better reach fans and new viewers across every
Speaker 1: platform and device, etc. Et cetera, et cetera. Meanwhile, remember
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert had a show Do you miss it? You
Speaker 1: don't be honest, You don't be honest, Just be honest.
Speaker 1: I know we all like Stephen Colbert, but be honest,
Speaker 1: you be honest. May Recalla was canceled. Well, the writing
Speaker 1: team is trying to get an Emmy now CBS isn't
Speaker 1: gonna help them, apparently, so they posted a homemade four
Speaker 1: year consideration video. In it it says CBS is not
Speaker 1: doing an Emmy's campaign for US so for strictly financial reasons.
Speaker 1: The Colbert Late Show writers made our own four year
Speaker 1: consideration video. Late Nighter points out that CBS has aired
Speaker 1: fyc ads in New York in LA supporting the show
Speaker 1: in general. Plus, CBS took out a fear consideration ad
Speaker 1: for The Late Show on the Hollywood Reporter site, with
Speaker 1: a link going of a page that listed all the writers.
Speaker 1: Colbert's team has been nominated for Outstanding Writing for a
Speaker 1: Variety Series nearly every year of its run, says Late Nighter,
Speaker 1: but has not won. Can I interest you in French
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live? Canal Plus is readying now this again
Speaker 1: from Late Nighter Lay Saturday Night Live. Franseis, we don't
Speaker 1: even translate the Saturday Night Live part like their actual
Speaker 1: title is like John mangling French Lay Saturday Night Live, Francie. Really,
Speaker 1: it is an official adaptation of NBC's Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: Late Nighter reports the project is expected to launch as
Speaker 1: a single special rather than a full episode order. Francis
Speaker 1: tried this before. The previous attempt ended after one night
Speaker 1: that was in twenty seventeen. They even did a French
Speaker 1: language version of More Cowbell. Really hold On, somebody is
Speaker 1: gonna pause the recording and find that.
Speaker 3: Chat something. Who's that films.
Speaker 1: And from Deadline, Jermaine Clement says they might not be
Speaker 1: more Flight of the con Chords. He says, we haven't
Speaker 1: been talking about making the TV show, but we just
Speaker 1: did some live shows for the first time in eight
Speaker 1: years at the Greek Theater. It was really fun. I
Speaker 1: loved it. The idea of doing a film hangs around still,
Speaker 1: but we're getting old now and that is your comedy
Speaker 1: news for today. It is June. So you're gonna share
Speaker 1: the show. You're gonna be like, hey, did you guys
Speaker 1: know there was French Cowbell and you're gonna share the
Speaker 1: show with somebody. I don't know how it works. You
Speaker 1: tell me, because if you don't do it, I'm going
Speaker 1: to play Amy Schumer singing and none of us want that.
Speaker 1: See tomorrow.
