Speaker 1: Caaloroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Now you know who went to the
Speaker 1: Laugh Factory to see a comedy show? People are really
Speaker 1: excited about this. Right, Sidney Sweeney went to see Matt
Speaker 1: Rife at the Laugh Factory last week, and boy did
Speaker 1: this make news. The Hollywood Reporter says, Matt Riife got
Speaker 1: up there and said, anyone who gets offended by a
Speaker 1: joke in a comedy club is an effing R word.
Speaker 1: The Holly reporter says, even the choice of language seemed
Speaker 1: intentional to let the audience know what to expect. But
Speaker 1: that's not actually the big story. The big story was
Speaker 1: who came to the show? Sidney Sweeney and Scooter Braun.
Speaker 1: They showed up with a group of friends and they
Speaker 1: sat in the upstairs VIP section. The Hollywood Reporter tells
Speaker 1: us Matt Rife had two openers, Jackson McQueen and Eric Griffin.
Speaker 1: They covered subjects like broken engagements, new couples, h gap relationship,
Speaker 1: remember that part, the war in Gaza, and the ample
Speaker 1: amount of nudity on euphoria, specifically Sidney Sweeney's topless scenes.
Speaker 1: McQueen started the show just after ten pm. He called
Speaker 1: the VIP section the groupon section. He covered a broken
Speaker 1: engagement and entering the dating pool as a newly single guy.
Speaker 1: The Hollow Reporter says Sweeney and Braun held hands under
Speaker 1: the table and sipped on bottles of water. McQueen then
Speaker 1: brought Griffin up. Gryffin did a set about being a
Speaker 1: new parent. He joked about the unpredictability of toddlers and
Speaker 1: their wild nature, then shared a not safer work story
Speaker 1: about helping his wife out with a tampon. Use your imagination.
Speaker 1: Then he joked about euphoria. You know the show with
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney. It is unclear to the Hollywood Reporter if
Speaker 1: Eric Griffin knew that Sidney Sweeney was upstairs, but he
Speaker 1: mentioned her name several times and joked about how her
Speaker 1: breasts are always out. He used alternate language. Eyewitnesses say
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney doubled over with laughter at the bit. Then
Speaker 1: up comes Manife. He says he's not going to do
Speaker 1: any politics, although he did a few light politics ish things.
Speaker 1: Holler Porter says Riife covered a range of subjects in
Speaker 1: his sexually charged sets, including impotence, self love, and a
Speaker 1: story about visiting Amsterdam's Red Light District, where he and
Speaker 1: his best friend took in a show Use your imagination.
Speaker 1: Riife made several jokes at the expense of trans women
Speaker 1: and their vocal range. He started doing a little crowd
Speaker 1: work with Matthew and Lily, who were in the front row.
Speaker 1: We're told he got mileage out of the age gap.
Speaker 1: You see, she is forty three years old, he is
Speaker 1: in the mid thirties. This also is relevant because Scooter
Speaker 1: Braun is forty four. Sidney Sweeney is twenty eight, also
Speaker 1: an age gap there, remember earlier? Don't you to remember
Speaker 1: that fun fact? Now it's back. The show went to midnight.
Speaker 1: Matt Riife ended his show with a standing ovation. By
Speaker 1: that point, Sidney Sweeney and Scooter Braun and their friends
Speaker 1: had rushed through the door to beat the masses. One
Speaker 1: eyewitness said, she's so gorgeous in person. He asked Wanda
Speaker 1: Sykes about Kimmelgge. Remember kim Olgate. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: big thing. We're gonna talk about late night for a
Speaker 1: little bit here. Variety asked Wanda Sykes that situation recirculated
Speaker 1: conversations about cancel culture. What do you think? Sykes said,
Speaker 1: before it was just a bunch of people who are
Speaker 1: upset that they couldn't say stuff they wanted to say. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you want to say? Because you can say
Speaker 1: anything you want, but you got to deal with the
Speaker 1: fall out when people say, hey, we don't like what
Speaker 1: you said and stop buying your tickets. But what happened
Speaker 1: to Jimmy. That's real. People online are losing their jobs
Speaker 1: for stuff they post. It's not about what a comic says.
Speaker 1: Now the guy who works at the post office as
Speaker 1: something on Facebook and people jump all over him and
Speaker 1: what that person fired. So now it applies to everybody.
Speaker 1: You can say whatever you want, but I want to
Speaker 1: know what is it you want to say? What is it?
Speaker 1: What's the problem you want to say it? Just say it.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. They then asked Wanda Sykes about
Speaker 1: the re Odd Comedy Festival, which I haven't brought up
Speaker 1: in this show. In what two three minutes? Wanta said,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a nice paycheck, and hey, these
Speaker 1: comics feel comfortable going there. I wouldn't. I'm a black
Speaker 1: gay woman. I have no business there. I wouldn't feel
Speaker 1: comfortable with the treatment of the LGBT. But then again,
Speaker 1: I think Jessica Curson and she said she was going
Speaker 1: to talk about being a lesbian. I guess that worked
Speaker 1: for her, but I wouldn't. Wanda was reminded that Jessica
Speaker 1: gave her money away. Want to say to me, that's
Speaker 1: anti comedy if you complain about cancel culture, but then
Speaker 1: you go and take the money to not say things
Speaker 1: I mean, and then it trails off. As for Jimmy Kimmel,
Speaker 1: who was at the center of Kimmel Gate, he was
Speaker 1: at Selena Gomez's third annual Rare Impact Fund benefit. Kimmell
Speaker 1: did a joke that in theory is hacky, but probably
Speaker 1: worked here. He said, I'm excited to be here, Honestly,
Speaker 1: after the month I've had, I'm excited to be anywhere.
Speaker 1: I was this close to starting and OnlyFans. Kim Ole
Speaker 1: discussed the President of the United States, saying, we have
Speaker 1: a very special event tonight filled with amazing stories from
Speaker 1: amazing organizations that the President wants to defund. Kimmel praised
Speaker 1: Selena Gomez's Foundation for the progress the organization has made
Speaker 1: in the mental health sphere. The work the Rare Impact
Speaker 1: Fund does is needed now more than ever. It's very
Speaker 1: painful to see what's happening in this country right now,
Speaker 1: and we're not even allowed to take Tailin off for it.
Speaker 1: If you're up late tonight, you can watch the tonight shows.
Speaker 1: During Jimmy Fallon, he will announce People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker 1: Now I have some inside information about this. I don't
Speaker 1: want to tell you how, but I know some people
Speaker 1: on the list. But on the tonight show to night,
Speaker 1: Jimmy will crown the sexiest man Alive. The other guest,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carr, who you never know, could be the winner.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's only one guest. I'm curious about the conversation
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon is going to have with Jimmy Carr about
Speaker 1: the Reodd Comedy Festival. I'm sure that's gonna be Fallon's opener. Ladies, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carr, everybody claps, Car walks out, he sits down,
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Fallon starts quizzing. Jimmy carry he goes. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: you were recently at the Riodd Comedy Festival. A lot
Speaker 1: of people say that the government there is oppressive, and
Speaker 1: you took the money. That's gonna be Jimmy Fallon's opener, right,
Speaker 1: because but in the Late Night Wars, you know who's winning.
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert Late Night are saying that during the week
Speaker 1: of October nineteenth through the twenty fifth, Colbert average two
Speaker 1: point four to eight million viewers, beating Kimmel and Fallon combine. Now,
Speaker 1: Kimmel was off that week doing reruns. Kimmel's number down
Speaker 1: to one point one seven million viewers. That's down seventy
Speaker 1: nine percent adults eighteen to forty nine, only one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty seven thousand people. That is not a lot
Speaker 1: of people in the scheme of things, That's really not
Speaker 1: that many more people than listen to this podcast. But
Speaker 1: that still was enough for second place. Jimmy Fallon in
Speaker 1: third place, one point zero three million total viewers in
Speaker 1: adults eighteen to forty nine. One hundred and fifty eight
Speaker 1: thousand people. That is not a lot of people. Seth
Speaker 1: Meyers has a show for some reason, he averaged eight
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand total viewers, but in the
Speaker 1: eighteen to forty nine he had one hundred and nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand adults Starting to catch to Seth and on Fox
Speaker 1: Gutfeld three point one four million viewers and in the
Speaker 1: eighteen to forty nine two hundred and thirty nine thousand. Now,
Speaker 1: please remember the other show's air at eleven thirty five
Speaker 1: East and west. Gutfeld airs at ten East and more
Speaker 1: importantly seven West, so it's a lot easier to catch
Speaker 1: that show without staying up. John Stewart is a little
Speaker 1: suspicious about this construction project at the White House. On
Speaker 1: The Weekly Show, John Stewart said, here's what I think
Speaker 1: ultimately will happen. When his term is done, He'll just
Speaker 1: stand up living there, and more than likely the Trump
Speaker 1: organization will rent down more a lago for whatever the
Speaker 1: new president is and they'll have to stay down there.
Speaker 1: Nobody puts in a ninety thousand square football room for
Speaker 1: the next guy. There are many ways to support the show.
Speaker 1: One way you can do it is you can go
Speaker 1: to buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. I
Speaker 1: try once a month to remember to think all the supporters,
Speaker 1: including Travis and Levaughan and Devin Allen and Becky Andrea,
Speaker 1: Gary Shannon, Mike Kenny Kenny, I think of you every
Speaker 1: time I'm in Los Angeles. At that one particular coffee store.
Speaker 1: I always associate you with that. I've never met Kenny,
Speaker 1: but we talk coffee on the side, and there's one
Speaker 1: over in the downtown LA that I always think of Kenny.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you supporting the show. It's funny how
Speaker 1: I won't mention a comedian for a while, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're in the news a lot.
Speaker 1: Billy Gardell in the news Trip Live said Billy is
Speaker 1: recovered after pneumonia. Billy was in town for the Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Steelers game a week ago. He'd been feeling run down
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. He figured he had a cold.
Speaker 1: Then he woke up and he could barely walk. His
Speaker 1: wife convinced him to check out medical treatment. Instead of
Speaker 1: going to the airport. Doctors ran Tess, Billy, you have pneumonia.
Speaker 1: On top of that, he was dehydrated and had atrial fiblaration.
Speaker 1: His heart was not pumping correctly. Billy Gardell, fifty six
Speaker 1: years old, said, the way they treated me, this young,
Speaker 1: beautiful staff, and when I say beautiful, I mean the
Speaker 1: way they do their job and the way they were
Speaker 1: so proficient in caring. I've got to give up so
Speaker 1: much love to the people of UPMC. I think I've
Speaker 1: told the story on this show. You know why I
Speaker 1: started running. Every now and then I'll humblebreg that I've
Speaker 1: ran a marathon or two. One day, I was at
Speaker 1: flag football my son was playing, and I had chest
Speaker 1: pain the entire morning and I felt like crap, to
Speaker 1: the point where I told my wife I wanted to
Speaker 1: go to the hospital because I don't want to be stupid.
Speaker 1: And I went there. And when you're sitting there with
Speaker 1: your chest shaved and you have electrodes on, it makes
Speaker 1: you go, hey, want you try and get your act together.
Speaker 1: So that's how I started running. I was thirty nine
Speaker 1: years old. Here's the part they didn't tell you. The
Speaker 1: day before, I was in Philadelphia and had two cheese steaks,
Speaker 1: because why would you have one cheese steak when you
Speaker 1: can have two giant, twelve inch cheese steaks. So that
Speaker 1: was the nature of my chest pain. It was a
Speaker 1: cheese steak indigestion. But it was the wake up call
Speaker 1: to Johnny Mack to want don't you start running a
Speaker 1: little bit? CBS caught up with Tracy Morgan. They were
Speaker 1: promoting Tracy's new show, which happens to air on CBS.
Speaker 1: It's a spin off of the Neighborhood. Tracy Morgan plays
Speaker 1: Frank Crutchfield, a widowed father of two adult kids. They
Speaker 1: moved back into the family home in New York City's Harlem.
Speaker 1: Tracy said, prepping my whole life, man, I got kids.
Speaker 1: My real wife Sabina, she passed away eight years ago.
Speaker 1: I knew this role. I know this guy. I was
Speaker 1: with her in the hospital of the day. She closed
Speaker 1: her eyes and I said, I love you, I miss you,
Speaker 1: and please forgive me for any hurd have cost you,
Speaker 1: and I will see you again. Tracy says for him,
Speaker 1: it's important not just to be funny, but he wants
Speaker 1: his work to have a message. He says, if it
Speaker 1: doesn't have a heart, I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: I need to be motivated. I got to say something.
Speaker 1: You gotta tell life how I see it. And Naples, illustrated,
Speaker 1: caught up with my former co worker and Tracy Morgan's
Speaker 1: former co worker, Jim Brewer. They were in the cast together.
Speaker 1: Jim looked pretty good. Whoever did this photo shoot? Brewer?
Speaker 1: If you're listening and Jim's gotta be I think Jim's
Speaker 1: two years older than me. He's probably fifty eight. He's
Speaker 1: approaching sixty. Jim, you look great in the Naples illustrated
Speaker 1: photos by Nick Sergio. Well, Nick Sergio did a great job.
Speaker 1: So when I worked with Jim, I really could do
Speaker 1: Jim pretty well, like not one of my usual half
Speaker 1: ass impressions. I could actually do Jim because I would
Speaker 1: listen to him for several hours every day, and I
Speaker 1: would write the copy before him, and I would try
Speaker 1: and write in his voice, so I would have headfoys
Speaker 1: Jim Brewer. And the way I always get into my
Speaker 1: Jim is I remember the first time I met him.
Speaker 1: We were sitting at some high top tables at series.
Speaker 1: He was pitching the show, and he goes, you always
Speaker 1: have to get into the Jim Brewer thing by doing
Speaker 1: his all right. It shows me Pete Pete was Pete Coreley.
Speaker 1: I tell stories all right, so I can tell now
Speaker 1: I've got my good Jim Brewer Today. Sinnaples Today asked
Speaker 1: Jim who and what do you find funny? Jim Brewer said,
Speaker 1: Shane Gillis cracks me up. He's a guy makes me laugh.
Speaker 1: I like almost all comedy. It's funny. I'm dirty on stage.
Speaker 1: I don't even curse, but I don't care if it's raw,
Speaker 1: pushing the edge or crossing the line. Well of different
Speaker 1: senses of humor, right, But I do believe some topics
Speaker 1: are off limits to me. These are the very dark,
Speaker 1: sadistic things of our society. There are certain things, especially
Speaker 1: that happened to women and children, that are completely off limits.
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, no one is going
Speaker 1: to make that funny. Brewer was asked what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts about politics and comedy. Jim said, I'm not affiliated
Speaker 1: with any political party. In fact, I don't like politics.
Speaker 1: I think we should be able to laugh at what's
Speaker 1: in front of our faces, especially when it comes to
Speaker 1: exploiting common sense and calling out the absurd. Out today
